West Melton runners best in the mud 

WEST MELTON School 

finished as one of the top teams 

in the 2017 UC Education Mud 

Run on Sunday. 

The school’s team, the 

D*O*T*S, made up of pupils 

Daisy, Otis, Ted and Stacey, won 

the mixed teams race coming 

fifth overall in all the events 

against about 250 other teams. 

St Thomas of Canterbury College 

were first in the men’s race, 

while St Margaret’s College 

came first in the women’s race. 

Nearly 1000 students and 

50 teachers, representing 34 

schools sprinted, splashed their 

way through a muddy racetrack 

at Motukarara. 

The mud run was open to all 

secondary and intermediate 

schools. 

Sport Canterbury chief executive 

Julyan Falloon said it is an 

event students and teachers 

looked forward to every year. 

“In particular, we see a 

tremendous response from 

young women who embrace the 

chance to set a winter time goal, 

get a team together and enjoy a 

sense of achievement,” he said. 

Mr Falloon said there is a 

huge social element and sense of 

fun in the event. 

When the event was conceived 

in 2011, it was a perfect 

fit for post-quake Christchurch.

Call for 

more 

cemeteries 

in district 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

ROLLESTON’S population is 

growing so quickly it may need a 

new cemetery. 

Discussions have been under 

way at the district council around 

land capacity in the Rolleston area 

and people wanting to bury loved 

ones close to where they lived. 

The growing township’s closest 

cemeteries are based in Weedons 

and on Shands Rd. 

Doyleston Community Committee 

chairman 

Jack Pearcy called 

for a new cemetery 

that would 

meet the anticipated 

future size 

of the township 

in his Annual 

Plan submission. 

Rolleston is 

Jack Pearcy 

expected to reach nearly 18,000 by 

2025. 

As of July 1, 2016, Rolleston’s 

population was 13,287. 

But instead of looking at a new 

cemetery as part of the 2017/2018 

Annual Plan, the district council 

has decided to hold off and look at 

the provision of cemeteries as part 

of its future District Plan review 

and asset management plans. 

Weedons Cemetery is about 5km 

and Shands Rd Cemetery is about 

11km distance from Rolleston.

FROM 

THE 

EDITOR’S 

DESK 

Inside 

News........................................3-7 

THERE’S A grave situation 

developing in Selwyn – the district 

is going to need more cemeteries. 

Rolleston appears to be the first 

cab off the rank as we reveal on 

page 1. 

In eight years the town’s population 

will reach 18,000, accelerating 

like the rest of the district. 

Discussions have been held 

about land capacity in and around 

Rolleston for another cemetery. 

The district council hasn’t 

factored a new cemetery into its 

Annual Plan, but has signalled 

cemeteries will be on the agenda 

for future District Plan reviews. 

Something I suspect all of us 

don’t really want to think too 

much about. 

On a more cherry note – if you 

are a Waihora rugby supporter 

– they turned the tables on Southbridge 

at the weekend. See page 15.

No plan yet for road repair 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

AN UNSEALED section of 

a road in central Lincoln is 

unlikely to be fixed until next 

year at the earliest. 

Residents have been calling 

for about two thirds of West Belt 

to be sealed north of the Gerald 

St intersection. 

The road is 

littered with pot 

holes which fill 

up with water 

when it rains 

and makes it a 

Grant Miller 

bumpy ride for 

residents when 

they are driving 

into and leaving their properties. 

An idea to spend $50,000 

on sealing and parking was 

turned down at the annual plan 

submission deliberations held 

recently. 

The road will now be considered 

as part of the 2018-2028 

Long Term Plan. 

Selwyn Times reported in November 

the sealing of the road 

would be considered as part 

of the estimated $36.6 million 

worth of roading and infrastructure 

upgrades as part of the 

Lincoln Town Centre Plan. 

District councillor Grant 

Miller said he was disappointed 

the project did not get approved 

at the deliberations. 

“I wanted to see it happen this 

year but I didn’t win that battle 

. . . it is still happening but it is 

not going to happen as fast as I 

would have liked,” he said. 

At the deliberations, Cr Miller 

said when attending the community 

meetings he gets asked 

the same question about the 

road and it is difficult to answer. 

His vote was recorded against 

the project being held off to 

be budgeted for the 2018-2028 

Long Term Plan. 

Deputy Mayor Malcolm 

Lyall said West Belt has been 

a concern for the ratepayers of 

Lincoln for at least 10 years. 

Mr Lyall said he was disappointed 

a project to upgrade 

Tosswill Rd, outside the 

Prebbleton Domain was also 

turned down at the annual plan 

deliberations. 

“It is a grassed area that really 

needs to be sealed and angled 

park because we get about a 

thousand people playing touch 

PROBLEM:

throughout the week and there 

are cars for miles,” he said. 

It was decided, the project 

estimated to cost $95,000 would 

be held over to the next Long 

Term Plan process. 

Mr Lyall said he is hopeful 

West Belt at least may be able to 

be done in an underspend in the 

annual plan budget.

In Brief 

WALK TO BE IMPROVED 

The Arthur’s Pass Association 

Committee is planning to extend 

and improve the Arthur’s Pass 

Historic Village Walk with a new 

loop track and new information 

plaques over the winter. The new 

track will go through long-time 

resident John Charles’ track and 

property which runs along the 

Bealey River flats. About 24 information 

panels will be installed 

which includes replacing and 

exisitng the old ones. The cost of 

installing the panels along with 

printing brochures for visitors is 

$3000. 

FIRE RECOVERY PLAN 

The district council has approved 

the Port Hills Fire Recovery Plan 

for Selwyn areas affected by the 

fire. The plan will provide a framework 

to enable the provision of 

coordinated effort and processes to 

manage social, built, economic and 

natural environment issues arising 

from the fire. The plan was released 

for consultation with Port Hills 

property owners and the public. A 

range of future actions are identified 

in the plan. These include 

setting up a facilitated building 

consent process for people who 

are planning to carry out repairs 

or build new houses following 

fire damage, with consents being 

prioritised. 

What’s being done 

about Canterbury’s 

water quality? 

Look a little deeper at the 

action being taken to improve 

our precious water. 

This year, there are new requirements on farmers 

to limit the effects of farming on water quality. 

The majority of farmers are already doing the 

right thing, but more needs to be done to truly 

improve our precious water. 

We are working with farmers so that they know 

exactly what they need to do. It will take time 

for these improvements to have an effect on our 

water quality and quantity, but we’re off to a 

good start.

Changing attitudes lower the number 

• By Bridget Rutherford 

DRINK DRIVING charges have 

almost halved in Canterbury 

over the past decade – a shift 

police say is down to changed 

attitudes. 

The latest drink driving figures 

show the number of people 

charged for driving under the influence 

of alcohol in Canterbury 

was 1658 last year, compared 

with 2543 in 2007. 

Of those, 1604 were convicted 

last year. There were 2433 convictions 

in 2007. 

Nationally, the number has 

dropped from 27,328 a decade 

ago, compared 

with 16,304 in 

2016. 

Canterbury 

road policing 

manager Inspector 

Al Stewart 

(left) said police 

were encouraged 

by the downward trend. 

“The trauma and grief caused 

by an alcohol-related serious 

crash is massive, so less people 

affected by alcohol on our roads 

make them safer for all road 

users and reduces harm in our 

communities.” 

He said changing public attitudes 

to drink driving was the 

reason for the decline. It

was not seen as acceptable any 

more, he said. 

Inspector Stewart said police 

had made strategic efforts targeting 

alcohol harm, especially on 

the roads. 

“This has been supported by 

the lower drink driving limits 

which have encouraged people 

to think about their drinking 

behaviour and plan to make it 

home safely.” 

The breath-alcohol limit was 

lowered from 400mcg/L to 

250mcg/L in December, 2014. 

But the limit that triggered prosecution 

at court was 400mcg/L. 

The latest stats did not include 

the number of people given an 

infringement notice for driving 

over the 250mcg/L limit since it 

changed. 

But in 2014, the number of 

people charged in Canterbury 

was 2235, before dropping to 

1852 in 2015 and again in 2016. 

Bars and pubs have noticed 

people are more aware of what 

they were drinking, with many 

patrons now choosing light beers

The Lincoln Club, which operates 

the Famous Grouse Hotel, 

has seen a drop-off in patronage 

since the drink driving limits 

were lowered. 

President Lynn Townsend said 

people were choosing to drink at 

home. Mr Townsend said the hotel 

had two courtesy vans to get 

people home safely and a range 

of low alcohol beers. 

He said the low alcohol beverages 

available gives people the 

option of having a couple of 

beers without having too much. 

Hotel manager Will Stock said 

the vans are used regularly by 

patrons in the evening.

He said regulars at the pub, use 

the vans often. 

Southbridge Hotel manager 

Gagandeep Vashisht said the 

hotel has courtesy vans and a 

proper menu of food available to 

prevent drink driving. 

He said the hotel had not have 

a loss of patronage due to more 

people at home due to the hotel 

providing live bands. 

Sheffield Hotel owner Desrae 

Johnson said the attitude against 

drink driving had greatly improved 

and it uses the courtesy 

van a lot more than in the past. 

“We have a full restaurant here, 

we have an extensive bar and 

menu that takes priority . . . we 

have a low alcohol on tap,we have 

low alcohol in the fridge 

and we have non alcohol 

beverages available all the time,” 

she said. 

The statistics showed in 

Christchurch, 1562 appeared in 

the district court charged with 

drink driving last year. It was 

2080 in 2007. 

In comparison, last year 78 

people appeared in the Ashburton 

District Court charged 

with drink driving, and 170 in 

Timaru. 

In 2007, people aged 19-yearsold 

and under had the most 

convictions for drink driving in 

Christchurch with 473. 

But last year, the number of 

under-19s convicted had dropped 

to 154, and the 20-24-year-old 

bracket was the highest with 323 

convictions. 

That was followed by the 25-29 

age bracket with 274. 

Inspector Stewart said police 

and communities could not be 

complacent. 

People needed to continue to 

have “hard conversations” with 

family members, whatever their 

age, if they were putting themselves

“Police will continue to enforce 

alcohol-related offending at a 

high level to reduce the trauma 

and family harm that results 

from it.” 

While the number of 

people charged with drink 

driving in Canterbury 

has almost halved in the 

last 10 years – changing 

public attitude has not 

deterred others 

•A 38-year-old woman 

was caught drink driving 

more than four times 

the legal limit with her 

two young children in 

Rolleston. Melanie Susan 

Trebilco pleaded guilty to 

a charge of driving with 

excess blood alcohol after 

being caught at a random 

stop on Tennyson St on 

December 9. Her alcohol 

level was 1157mcg/L. 

Police said she refused to 

let officers escort her three 

and nine-year-old children, 

as the car did not have car 

seats. She was disqualified 

from driving for eight 

months, and fined $1000 in 

January. 

•On the same day, 

another Rolleston mother 

recorded a reading of 

696mcg/L when stopped 

in Faringdon subdivision 

with her four-year-old child 

in the car. The 35-yearold 

was pulled over after 

failing to stop at a stop 

sign. 

•Well-known race car 

driver and businessman 

Paul Kelly was caught by 

police doing a burnout 

in a classic car outside 

a Christmas party while 

under the influence. The 

47-year-old had been 

drinking for the day on 

December 16 and blew 

853mcg/L. He was 

disqualified from driving 

for six months and fined 

$600. 

• Sarah Jane Arrow was 

on a zero-alcohol licence 

when she got behind the 

wheel after drinking last 

year. The 45-year-old was 

driving along Main Rd, 

four times the legal limit, 

and failed to take a bend, 

crashing into pedestrian 

Ben Appleton. He flew 

2m onto the rocks below, 

suffering two broken 

legs, and a fractured skull 

and spine. In September 

Arrow was sentenced to 

two-and-a-half years in 

prison and was banned 

from driving for the rest of 

her life. She was ordered 

to pay $2500 in reparation 

to Mr Appleton. It was her 

fourth conviction for drink 

driving.

Complex for seniors gets $25k

A NEW residential complex 

for over 65-year-olds, single or

now one step closer to opening

The Ellesmere Vintage Club 

has presented a $25,000 cheque 

towards completing the Abbeyfield 

Ellesmere complex. 

A tractor raffle and vintage 

fair fundraiser, which showcased 

more than 100 vintage 

and classic tractors dating from 

the early 1900s, was held earlier 

this year. It was organised by 

the club to help raise funds for

by local volunteers, construction 

of the Flannery St complex 

began last year. 

The complex will be the first 

of its kind to be built in Selwyn 

and is expected to be completed 

in October or November. 

The overall cost of the complex 

is to be $2.5 million and 

the committee has raised $2.1 

million. 

“Our current target for fundraising 

is a further $400,000 

and this generous donation 

of $25,000 goes a long way in 

getting us closer to our target,” 

committee chairman Bruce 

GENEROUS: The Ellesmere Vintage Club with a $25,000 cheque they raised for the Abbeyfield 

Ellesmere committee. 

ON THE WAY: Construction on a new residential complex 

in Leeston is under way with the building expected to open 

later this year. 

Cochrane said. 

Residents living in the house, 

owned by The Vintage Village 

Trust, will be given weekly 

rental to cover meals, rates, 

insurance and power. 

Members of the community 

considering applying for the 

complex are required to be able 

to care for their personal needs 

independently. 

Mr Cochrane said he would 

like to thank Ellesmere Vintage 

Club chairman Stu Donald 

and his committee along with 

Southbridge-based Palmers 

Transport founders Brian and 

Averil Palmer for donating their 

Massey Harris Pony tractor for 

the raffle. 

To make a further donation

Cochrane on 027 432 9378 or

Countless young people were affected 

by the sudden and dramatic 

change to their sporting landscape 

– with facilities lost and clubs presented 

with the ultimate challenge. 

From the start, Sport Canterbury 

had a vision for the unique 

secondary schools event. 

“The event helped reach out 

to those students who may not 

participate in traditional sporting 

codes,” Mr Falloon said. 

Six years later, thanks to a 

continuing partnership with UC 

Education, the event has become 

one of New Zealand’s most highly 

anticipated events for secondary 

school students. 

Sport Canterbury Event coordinator 

Isaac Sutherland said 

Darfield is one of the events greatest 

supporters. 

He said from the beginning of 

the events, Darfield High School 

has been on board – 100 per cent. 

Darfield High School sports coordinator 

Karen Armstrong said 

there are many reasons the event 

has inspired their students. 

“Our year 11 physical education 

class has been encouraged to compete 

as part of their course . . . plus 

this year, the year 7 and 8 students 

are getting involved,” she said.

Steve Saville 

Taking on head role at new school 

Rolleston College was 

nothing more than a 

paddock 12 months 

ago. Now thanks to 

the hard work from 

founding principal Steve 

Saville and his team, the 

township now has its first 

high school, built to cater 

up to 1500 students. 

He spoke to Georgia 

O’Connor-Harding 

How are you finding your role 

at Rolleston College? 

We have been running for 15 

weeks. We have got 224 year 9 

learners and it has been busy. 

Today, for example, the students 

are getting ready for their rocket 

launching – they have been 

making rockets. They have been 

making tape murals to put up on 

the walls along with video making 

they were doing yesterday 

on the environment. They have 

heaps of ideas including putting 

in wind turbines. Our sports 

teams are up and running. We 

will have football and netball 

teams travelling into Christchurch. 

We had Canterbury health 

educators here for a conference 

today-the students sang them in. 

It is very busy.

Are you trying to get students 

away from doing your traditional 

subjects such as math 

and English? 

It is about developing them as 

a person and the attributes they 

need to function in the changing 

world. The TVNZ programme

into. We are preparing them 

for that – we are trying to make 

sure every learner can stand and 

succeed as the individual they 

are. We celebrate individuality 

and diversity and we try to make 

WOF 

the students accountable by 

doing things. Being involved in 

real-life situations. So they have 

worked with New Zealand Red

Was it a big leap for you in 

your career taking on a new 

school as a principal? 

Yes, it is very rare and a 

privilege. A year and a half ago it 

was basically a paddock and this 

stage last year we were thinking 

about employing people. Now we 

are a school with 26 teachers and 

about 35 staff in total. 

Tell me about your background 

in education? 

I have been involved in education 

for more than 35 years now, 

my entire adult working life. I 

have been involved in secondary 

education in a variety or 

roles from teacher to head of 

department to principal roles 

in a number of schools in the 

Auckland region. I have had 

five years working at Auckland 

University and Waikato University 

in curriculum development 

and teacher development and a 

project called Te Kotahitanga. I 

was the English adviser for the 

Auckland region. 

Why did you move to Canterbury? 

The challenge and opportunity. 

Without meaning to be, I 

have been involved in change 

and management in education 

for about 15-20 years by working 

with new schools.

How have you found the 

Rolleston community? 

Because it is a young community 

and people have moved 

here over a very recent time it is 

a can-do community. It is establishing 

its soul and culture while 

it is growing. There is a vibrancy 

about what is possible. I like the 

fact people have come here from 

all over – it is like they have been 

blown here by the wind. 

Any facilities you would like 

to see put into Rolleston as it 

grows? 

They could all be bigger – the 

pool and library. The sports 

centre being planned I hope that 

will be big because that will be 

huge. All the things being spoken 

about in the long-term plan like 

a picture theatre. There are going 

to be a huge number of teenagers 

in the community over the next 

five years and the facilities need 

to be there for them so they can 

be actively involved in sport art 

and culture. It is important we 

give young people in this community 

things to do so they don’t 

have to drive into Christchurch 

or even to Lincoln. 

What do you enjoy doing in 

you spare time? 

I like drawing – I am not 

saying I am any good at it. I like 

reading, and the outdoors. I take

What books are you reading? studied at Horowhenua College 

I am reading a science fiction When were you born? 

I was born in a small town 

called Westgate-on-Sea in the 

north-east of Kent, England. But 

my family is all from north London. 

I went back when I did the 

OE as we all do in our early 20s 

for a couple of years but I have 

probably been back at least four 

times since. 

It wasn’t a place you wanted 

to live? 

I love London, I think it is the 

most fantastic place but I couldn’t 

live there. 

What made you want to go 

into education in the first place? 

Initially it was a love of literature 

and a love of language but 

then it became enthusiasm for 

having an affect on young people’s 

lives. Teenagers are amazing. 

Do you have any children? 

I have two adult children. Our 

son Keegan, 27, is in London 

working as a civil engineer and 

Cosette, 24, is an urban planner 

at the Auckland Council. They 

both have busy jobs. 

Was a big deal for you and 

your wife Diane to move to 

Selwyn? 

The time was right, our kids 

were adults. We are a tight family 

but it was time for us to have a 

bit of adventure as well. They are 

very excited about it. 

Was Keegan affected at all by 

the London fire or the recent 

terrorist attacks? 

We actually told him ourselves 

about the big fire because he was 

working. He works right around 

the London Bridge and Borough 

Market area where the attack 

happened but he was in Portugal 

that weekend so we were relieved 

he was elsewhere. 

You must worry as a parent? 

Yes, but you don’t live your life 

in fear. I was rather he was out 

living life than not travelling. 

You have to weigh that up.

Jaz Tuihana 

Vivian has a 

label called 

Losers Are 

Cool – 

and her 

clothing is 

all gender 

neutral. 

You said: 

Kirsty Tovey – Love this. 

My daughter Isla stood in a shop 

once when she was six and asked 

me why all the girls clothes were 

pink or purple and covered in 

butterlies and flowers. She didn’t 

want to wear any of those. So we 

headed over to the boys department 

and she has been wearing 

boys clothes ever since, she is 

now almost nine. I love the idea 

of gender neutral clothes, well 

done Jaz. 

Cathryn Lucy – Unfortunately 

women can’t wear “boys” 

clothes forever to have the style 

they like, unless their body shape 

allows for it. Would be so good 

to have more styles accessible for 

women but made for our bodies. 

Jasmin Raddon – Yes. My 

girl has been wearing “boys” 

clothes for years – it is just starting 

to be a bit stressful now – as she 

is now 13 and male clothing does 

not really account for boobs and 

hips. Would love to see gender 

neutral clothing widespread and 

available everywhere, so shopping 

can be fun for those who fall outside 

of gender “norms.” 

Georgie Southen – Hey. 

Gender neutral is a simple concept 

for kidswear, but for adults 

how do you deal with the aspect 

of fit? As male and female bodies 

are different shapes. 

Jill Reesby – My daughter is 

a tomboy too, hates the girly stuff 

and, yes, we buy boys clothing. 

She is now 11 and luckily is very 

slim with no curves yet. Even 

I buy men’s clothing and shoes 

when I can, unfortunately I come 

with extreme curves, lol. 

Cathryn Lucy – The only 

difference that there actually 

needs to be is with the tailoring. 

Awesome idea. 

Man Dee Nurse – You are 

awesome Jaz. 

Call for more cemeteries 

•From page 1 

Mr Pearcy told Selwyn Times if 

someone from outside the 

Rolleston township supported 

the cemetery, it could not be 

classed as an organisation 

thinking of themselves. 

“It is about putting aside for 

a piece of land so people have 

somewhere to go,” Mr Pearcy 

said. 

His comments were backed 

by Rolleston Residents 

Association committee 

chairwoman Leonie 

MacLachlan and Rolleston 

Community Centre committee 

chairman Edward Ellens. 

“I don’t think we need it at 

the moment but we will in the 

future,” Mrs MacLachlan 

said. 

Mr Ellens said it was not a bad 

idea with the way Rolleston was 

growing. 

In the past five years, the 

district council recorded in its 

maintained cemeteries there was 

an increase in the number of 

deaths from 120 in 2013 to 141 

by 2017. 

The council’s open space 

and property manager Mark 

Rykers said the statistics were 

not recorded to show deaths 

in specific areas and people in 

POPULATION GROWTH: Shands Rd Cemetery (above) and 

Weedons Cemetery are the closest cemeteries to Rolleston 

township. 

Rolleston may choose to use a 

number of cemeteries. 

The district council estimated 

in the last Long Term Plan 

(2015-25) most existing 

cemeteries had a capacity of 

50 years or more apart from 

Prebbleton and Springston 

cemetery. 

“There will likely be a 

trend to a greater proportion 

of cremations to burials as 

the district becomes more 

urbanised,” Mr Rykers said. 

Mr Rykers said while there is 

no specific land identified for a 

cemetery, land purchased earlier 

this year for a large scale park 

in Rolleston on the corner of 

Weedons and Levi Rds could be 

used for this purpose.

West Melton pupils hunt down 

clues in environmental challenge 

A LETTER hunt to celebrate the 

importance of trees has been 

held at West Melton School. 

The school celebrated Arbor 

Day recently with a “letter hunt” 

organised by the school’s year 4 

to 8 pupils, known as the Eco- 

Warriors 

The hunt required pupils 

to work out various clues that 

led CHIEVERS 

to the location of a team of 

Eco-Warriors. 

At each point, the pupils gathered 

information and a letter 

about the role of sustainability 

in the environment. The word 

that had to be unjumbled from 

the letter hunt was “sustainable.” 

Meanwhile, the school’s 

intermediate pupils won a Canterbury 

inter-school science and

TWELVE Rolleston School

The pupils went through a rigorous 

application process which 

included writing letters about 

why they should be chosen as 

leaders. 

They were then interviewed 

by principal Andrew Morrall, 

year 8 team-leader Annette 

Searle and year 7 teacher Keri

Waihora tip-up champions 

• By Gordon Findlater 

WAIHORA HAVE tuned 

the tides on recent Combined 

Country champions Southbridge 

with a 29-24 win just a fortnight 

after they lost to their rivals. 

They went down to Southbridge 

25-31 in last month’s 

Combined Country semi-final. 

Southbridge may have had a case 

of a championship hangover 

with Waihora dominating play 

in the opening 40min to lead 

24-7. 

“We were really impressive to 

begin the match. They played a 

few different combinations but 

I was really happy with how we 

played,’’ said Waihora coach Joff 

Moore. 

The visitors rolled the changes 

after the break and the momentum 

turned immediately as 

Southbridge roared into life to 

take the game down to the wire. 

One try to Waihora in the 

second half was the difference as 

they hung onto win 29-24. 

Waihora are well and truly in 

the play-off race for the Ellesmere 

title with just one loss to 

their name through five games. 

They will hope to record bonus 

point wins in their next fixtures 

against West Melton and Rolleston, 

before hosting local rivals 

Lincoln. 

“We have a bye in the final 

week but that’s not a bad thing 

after what should be a big game 

with Lincoln,” said Moore. 

GRUDGE MATCH: Waihora got one over rivals Southbridge at the weekend, just a fortnight after 

being defeated by them in the Combined Country final.

Other results saw Lincoln 

stay in the hunt with a 57-10 

win over Burnham/Dunsandel/ 

Irwell. Darfield continued their 

unbeaten run with a 54-10 victory 

over West Melton.

Cabbage trees host to moth 

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 

MANY OF New Zealand’s 

native insects feed exclusively 

on one plant species or genus. 

For example, the iconic cabbage 

tree (Cordyline species) 

has 10 insect species that are 

reliant on this host for their 

survival. 

One common endemic species 

is the cabbage tree moth 

(Epiphryne verriculata) which 

is 10mm long and has a 35mm 

wingspan. 

The moth’s parallel vein 

patterns on its wings provide 

excellent camouflage when 

resting on the dead cabbage 

tree leaves. 

Eggs are laid in rows on the 

underside of the cabbage tree 

leaves and are green at first, 

but change to brown then red 

before hatching approximately 

14 days after being laid. 

The larvae eat the new 

leaves that are in the heart of 

the plant and create distinctive 

notches and holes on the 

leaves. 

The larvae, if present, can be 

seen by separating the smaller 

overlapping central leaves on 

the plant. 

The fine frass (insect poo) 

is often a sign that larvae is 

present. The larvae have several 

natural enemies including 

parasitic and predatory insects, 

and birds such as the starling. 

Moths are preyed upon by 

insectivorous birds such as the 

fantail.

a key component of the financial 

viability of the club. 

A recent initiative she has promoted 

is a sponsors’ tournament 

which is now held annually to 

reward and recognise sponsors 

at the club. 

Marie has also been instrumental 

in promoting and 

implementing a tree replantment

Narrow defeat for Lincoln 


LINCOLN Combined suffered the 

narrowest of defeats to Shirley Boys’ 

High School 15-17 and now face a 

tough run into the school holiday 

break. 

They travel north to play Waimea 

Combined in their next UC Championship 

match this weekend before 

hosting Christ’s College the following 

week in their final match before the 

break. 

An unconverted try was the only 

thing to separate Lincoln and Shirley 

Boys. Lincoln trailed 0-10 at the halftime 

break, but didn’t take long to fire 

up in the second half, scoring their 

first try just 5min in. 

First-five Josh Davidson broke the 

Shirley defensive line with some silky 

footwork just outside the 22m line before 

putting through halfback Logan 

Crofts for their opening try. The effort 

was converted by centre Brett Gillan 

to narrow the gap to 7-10. 

Shirley re-established their 10-point 

lead shortly after with a converted try. 

With less than 10min to play, 

Lincoln found themselves camped on 

the Shirley 5m line. Replacement prop 

Cameron Jordan looked to be the 

hero for his side picking up the ball 

at the ruck and crashing over the line. 

However, Gillan was unable to 

convert the try and found themselves 

trailing 15-17 with just minutes 

remaining. 

Shirley Boys were able to hold 

their nerve and see out the tightest of 

victories. 

PROP: Cameron Jackson scored for Lincoln with less than 

10min to play to give them a sniff of victory.

SELWYN TIMES 

Extending our footpath network 

Proposal: We consulted on providing $347,000 in extra funding 

to allow footpath extension work to continue at 19 locations in 

2017/18. 

Your comments: online survey and submissions indicated most 

people supported continuing with our footpath extension work. 

Our decision: this work will go ahead as planned. 

Annual Plan focuses on 

investments for growth 

The Council adopted our Annual Plan for the next 12 months last week. Consultation on the plan 

closed in May, with 189 submissions received, while 241 people completed an online survey. 

We were pleased to get a wide range of people participating in the consultation and sharing their 

views on our proposals – this provided valuable input into the Council’s deliberations. Through 

the plan we consulted on a number of proposals designed to improve services for our growing 

population. Your comments and our decisions on the issues we consulted on through the Annual 

Plan are summarised below. 

Designing and planning for new pool space 

Proposal: we consulted on providing $250,000 in our budget for 2017/18 to allow feasibility, 

design and planning work to be carried out for additional pool space at the Selwyn Aquatic 

Centre. A separate budget would be required to fund construction of any new facilities. 

Your comments: online survey comments and submissions showed strong support for this proposal. 

Our decision: The Council confirmed $250,000 would be included in the Annual Plan to carry out 

feasibility, design and planning work to add new pool space and additional learn to swim office 

space to the Aquatic Centre. Further community consultation on the new pool space is planned 

as part of the Aquatic Facilities Plan review. From this information a proposal on developing new 

pool space will be included in our Long-Term Plan for 2018-2028 for consultation. 

A new Health Hub 

Proposal: we proposed to undertake a feasibility study on establishing a Health Hub to provide space 

for health professionals, not-for-profit organisations and commercial businesses as an investment which 

would provide a return over time. 

Your comments: Submissions and survey comments indicated strong support for this proposal. 

Our decision: We are planning to progress this idea. A project team will now be created, consultation 

will be undertaken, and concept plans and a financial model will be developed. 

A standard rate for stormwater 

Proposal: we proposed replacing existing township-based stormwater rates (which previously varied 

from $24 to $278) with a standard rate of $85 for the 2017/18 year. 

Your comments: online survey and submission comments showed a range of views on this proposal 

– but more survey participants and submitters supported the change to the new rate than keeping the 

township-based rates. 

Our decision: The Council confirmed it would introduce the $85 standard rate for the 1 July 2017 - 30 

June 2018 year. This rate will be paid in townships where the Council manages stormwater. 

Other changes to the Annual Plan 

We have included additional funding in the Annual Plan to take advantage of a subsidised funding offer 

from the NZ Transport Agency which has recently been announced. This will allow older, inefficient 

street lights to be replaced with new more energy efficient LED lights. NZTA may fund 85% of this cost. 

$315,000 in Council funding has been allocated to take advantage of this subsidy subject to final NZTA 

approval for a $2.1 million programme focused in the Ellesmere area. 

A budget has been included to allow for roading works that may be required to connect Lincoln 

township to a new school planned by the Ministry of Education. $18,000 has been included for 

additional road safety initiatives requested by the Selwyn Road Safety Sub-committee. 

Rates 

The average rates increase for the next financial year is 4.5 percent. Rate changes will vary for 

individual households depending on the mix of rates households pay, changes relating to shifting to a 

standard stormwater rate and local expenditure on halls and reserves. 

Extending library and service 

centre opening hours 

Proposal: We consulted on altering library hours during the week 

to provide later closing times and longer weekend opening hours 

to provide better access to library services. We also consulted on 

offering Council service centre functions on Saturdays at Darfield, 

Leeston and Lincoln Libraries. 

Your comments: there were mixed views about this proposal with 

more people indicating they didn’t support this change than those 

who did. A number of people opposed Sunday opening or made 

suggestions on alternative opening hours. 

Our decision: opening hours are being discussed with library 

staff and will include longer Saturday opening for library services 

but not Sunday opening. Service centres will also be open on 

Saturday mornings. Library usage will be reviewed during a six 

month trial period at each location. The library rate will increase 

from $180 to $190. 

Continuing investment in roading 

Proposal: we proposed to retain additional funding for road 

maintenance through the $60 targeted rate, to enable road 

reconstruction work to continue. 

Your comments: 61 submitters commented on this issue, with 53 

submissions supporting this funding being continued. 

Our decision: we will retain the roading rate as proposed. 

On the roads this week 

A sewer lateral will be laid along Norman Kirk Drive to service the 

new school buildings at Rolleston School. The works will affect 

Norman Kirk Drive where stop/go traffic controls will be used and 

parking will be reduced while works occur. Sewer line installation 

work is also continuing on Shands and Selwyn Roads - traffic 

delays may occur due to this work. The widening of Jones Road has 

been completed north of Lyttleton Port Company. 

The intersection of Hoskyns and Sandy Knolls Roads will be 

upgraded and a change of priority will be completed by the end 

of July. Once these changes are completed, traffic approaching 

this intersection from Sandy Knolls Road will need to stop. Traffic 

delays may occur and detours may operate while the intersection 

is upgraded. 

Bridge replacement is continuing on Jarvis Road with the road 

currently closed for this work. Culvert pipe construction is planned 

on Algidus Road, and unsealed maintenance work is planned on Zig 

Zag Road with traffic controls operating at both sites. 

Christchurch Southern Motorway Extension – NZ 

Transport Agency 

The one-way system remains on Waterholes Road from Hamptons 

Road to 833 Waterholes Road running south towards Robinsons 

Road with detours in place, and changes to the road alignment to 

allow for construction of the bridge. Stop-Go systems will be in 

place this week along Jones Road, at the intersection with Weedons 

Ross Road during tree felling operations. 

Please be alert to changes in the traffic management, follow the onsite 

signage and drive to the conditions.

Herbs flourish in winter 

• By Marilyn Wightman 

Many herbs are underground 

for winter months. 

They know how to take a 

holiday and avoid the cold 

weather. Winter, though, is 

when ‘pot herbs’ come into 

their own. They gained their 

name centuries ago when the 

daily food was prepared in 

probably the only pot in the 

house (or hovel), which sat over 

the fireplace. 

MARJORAM (ORIGANUM 

VULGARE) 

Able to be called either 

marjoram or oregano, there 

are about 25 different varieties 

available in New Zealand. Rule 

of thumb is the lighter the 

flower colour the stronger the 

flavour. The colour range of 

flowers goes from white, light 

pink, through to dark pink and 

deep purple. 

Oregano is a low-growing, 

spreading perennial. It is only 

in summer that the flowering 

sprigs grow to 30cm or more. 

THYME (THYMUS 

VULGARIS) 

The thyme family has lots 

of varieties, mainly shrubby 

perennials that get 30cm high. 

Finely leaved and multi-stalked, 

thyme likes sun and good 

shelter. 

ROSEMARY (ROSMARINUS 

OFFICINALIS) 

A heat-loving herb, rosemary 

flourishes in well-drained, 

sunny positions in the garden. 

Its Latin name translates as 

‘rose of the sea’. 

Rosemary grows into a 

healthy large bush in the right 

conditions. A trim in autumn 

helps keep it tidy and uniform, 

as well as compact and less 

prone to wind damage. 

SAGE (SALVIA VULGARE) 

The Latin name comes from 

‘salvere’ meaning ‘to save’. 

This perennial herb grows up 

to 50cm high in a sheltered, full 

sun position where it will thrive 

for many years. It dislikes heavy, 

boggy clay and if conditions are 

not to its liking then it will die. 

Mounding it up to give better 

drainage is one solution. 

There are different varieties 

available – red sage, variegated 

sage and non-flowering types as 

well as the usual blue-flowered 

common sage. 

CHERVIL (ANTHRISCUS 

CEREFOLIUM) 

This herb is a short-lived 

annual that thrives in winter. 

Once spring arrives and the 

weather warms, chervil leaves 

quickly turn pink. The plant 

shoots up into flowering mode, 

sets seed and dies. Leave the 

bedraggled plant as long as 

possible so those elongated, 

black seeds mature and drop to 

provide new plants once winter 

weather arrives the following 

year. Chervil has a delicate, 

anise flavour. 

SAVORY (SATUREJA 

MONTANA) 

This little-known herb has 

‘montana’ – Latin for mountain 

– in its name, indicating it is 

a hardy herb. Savory prefers 

poor soils and good drainage. 

Adding too much compost 

or manure tends to soften 

the growth so give it just a 

moderate top-dressing in 

autumn and spring. 

BAY (LAURUS NOBILIS) 

The hardy, leathery leaved 

trees provide great shade, can 

withstand windy conditions, are 

easily clipped and shaped, and 

grow as well in a container as in 

the garden. Trees can grow up 

to 5m high if left untrimmed. 

Bays look after themselves. 

An annual dressing of compost 

and manure is their one 

requirement.

Intelligro entrance changes 

If you are travelling 

from Rolleston, or 

surrounding areas and 

would usually come 

up from Weedons 

Ross Road, you will 

need to go along 

Jones Road, turn right 

onto Curraghs Road, 

and then right into 

Manion Road just 

after the railway. 

If you are travelling 

from Christchurch, the 

best way to Intelligro 

is to turn right from 

Main South Road onto 

Curraghs Road, then left 

onto Manion Road just 

before the railway. 

Visit our facebook page for 

regular updates: @igro.co.nz 

NZTA has now closed the original Main 

South Road entrance to Intelligro. 

For the remainder of June, access to Intelligro is 

only available via the Curraghs Road end of Manion 

Road. Follow Manion road along the railway line 

and you will find us where “261” is on the map. 

Access from Weedons Ross Road will not be 

available until later in June/early July while the 

contractors finish sealing Manion Road. 

While these changes are out of our hands, we would 

like to extend our thanks to you all for your patience 

and understanding as these changes take place. The 

new road will definitely make things a lot safer for 

everyone, so we are looking forward to having it 

all completed.Once the road is all sealed, you will 

be able to access Intelligro from both the Weedons 

Ross Road, and Curraghs Road entrances. Our new 

address will be 261 Manion Road. 

We are stIll open for busIness! 

If you are at all unsure about what is going on, give us a call 03 3479 415, email us

Sustainable Farming Fund 

hits 1000th project 

Primary Industries Minister Nathan 

Guy and Associate Minister Louise Upston 

celebrated the 1000th Sustainable Farming 

Fund project, and awarded two Emerging 

Leaders scholarships at an event kicking off 

National Fieldays. 

“The Sustainable Farming Fund supports 

the primary sector’s own forward thinking 

and Kiwi ingenuity, which in turn helps 

keeps New Zealand ahead of the game,” Mr 

Guy said. 

“One thousand projects have now been 

funded since the fund was initiated in 2000. 

This represents around $150 million in 

government funding alongside a significant 

level of sector support. 

“The fund has supported projects 

as diverse as reducing nutrient runoff 

on lowland farms, reducing use of 

antimicrobials when managing mastitis, 

and increasing the market share for New 

Zealand olive oil,” Mr Guy said. 

Ms Upston said much of the success of 

the fund was due to its grass-roots nature. 

“Each project brings together farmers, 

growers and foresters to work alongside 

scientists and researchers to solve a 

problem or seize an opportunity. The fund 

recognises that those closest to the problem 

or opportunity have a unique insight into 

how it could be addressed and how to best 

influence their peers’ behaviour.” 

Alongside the announcement was the 

launch of a commemorative booklet which 

spotlights 33 projects from across all 17 

years of the fund - available on the MPI 

website. 

Ministers also announced the announced 

the winners of this year’s Emerging Primary 

Industries Leaders Scholarship - Julia Jones 

a farm enterprise specialist at KPMG, and 

Jason Te Brake, a key account manager at 

Miraka. 

“This scholarship recognises the 

importance of promoting strong leadership 

within the primary industries. It encourages 

those who have shown a commitment to the 

primary industries and have the potential 

to help guide the sector in the future,” Mr 

Guy said. 

The winners will attend the Te Hono 

Stanford Bootcamp – a week-long 

programme held at Stanford University in 

California, USA. The boot camp is mainly 

for chief executives or people who hold 

senior governance roles within the primary 

sector. 

Ms Upston said Te Hono Stanford 

Bootcamp was an opportunity for primary 

industry leaders to think about and test

SELWYN RURAL LIFE 

Investment in 

rural health ‘good 

news for farming 

communities’ 

Government investment in 

rural health services for the 

third consecutive year provides 

essential ongoing support for 

the provinces says Federated 

Farmers. 

Health Minister Jonathan 

Coleman and Primary 

Industries Minister Nathan Guy 

‘s announcement at Fieldays, 

shows a genuine commitment 

towards improving the health 

and emotional wellbeing of rural 

people, the organisation says. 

“The funding of $500,000 

from both ministries is 

good news for our farming 

communities as often initiatives 

are started but seldom completed without 

further investment to ensure long-term 

sustainability,” Federated Farmers’ rural 

health and wellbeing spokesperson Katie 

Milne says. 

“There is no short-term fix when it 

comes to addressing the state of our health 

services in rural areas. The funding will 

ideally build on the various programmes 

that have been put together in recent years. 

“It will provide the Rural Health Alliance 

Aotearoa New Zealand(RHAANZ) and 

Rural Support Trusts, who have led recent 

rural health initiatives, with more capability 

and capacity to maximise their resources. 

“Our RSTs are generally volunteers and 

retired farmers who dedicate their time 

and energy to helping farmers and country 

folk with those issues which can impact 

on their health and emotional wellbeing. 

This funding gives them access to better 

coordination and information on how to 

respond.” 

Funding would support 20 workshops for 

rural health professionals treating people at 

risk of suicide, as well as the rural clinical 

champions and medical director. 

“It’s also encouraging to see that funding 

will be targeted at those younger rural 

workers who have been identified as being

the most at risk of health and wellbeing

“Federated Farmers meanwhile looks 

forward to the Cabinet’s pledge to look at 

a new mental health strategy, which will 

take into account the needs of our rural 

communities.”

Belt and Road Forum 

for Future Cooperation 

The Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation 

(BRF) which was concluded in May 14-15 outlined the 

roadmap for the success of the Belt and Road Initiative. 

Twenty-nine foreign heads of state and government 

attended the forum. 

Other delegates included officials, entrepreneurs, financiers 

and media from over 130 countries and regions, which are 

home to more than two thirds of the world’s population 

and their combined gross domestic product accounts for 

90 percent of the world’s total. The second BRF will be held 

in China in 2019. 

The forum yielded a list of outcomes, which included 76 

consensuses comprising more than 270 detailed results in 

five key areas, namely policy, infrastructure, trade, financial 

and people-to-people connectivity. 

It sent a positive signal for all parties to work together 

to build a community of shared future, which would be 

extremely important for China and the world. 

Large Investment Demand 

A joint communiqué was issued at the forum, vowing 

to work on a long-term, stable and sustainable financing 

system, as well as to enhance financial infrastructure 

connectivity, by exploring new finance models, platforms 

and services. The projects will require innovative financing 

mechanisms -- a mix of public and concessional finance 

and commercial capital. 

Stronger Financial Connectivity 

Meanwhile, besides the actual fund injection, future 

cooperation would gradually extend from the building of 

hardware such as roads and ports to softer sectors such as 

management and services. Funding services and financial 

support would be one of the service and institutional 

improvements that would take more shares in the next 

round of Belt and Road construction. 

Nine Chinese-funded banks have set up 62 direct branches 

and representative offices in 26 countries along the Belt 

and Road as of the end of 2016, offering tailored services to 

local clients. At the same time, 54 commercial banks from 

20 countries and regions along the Belt and Road have 

established branches, financial companies or representative 

offices in China, seeking opportunities with the initiative. 

According to the Guiding Principles on Financing the 

Development of the Belt and Road, governments along 

the Belt and Road should coordinate to provide favorable 

policy environments for financing. The guiding principles 

also suggest letting the private sector play a larger role in 

the initiative, and encouraging financial innovation while 

enhancing cooperation on financial regulation. 

Consolidated Consensus 

China aims to work with other countries to build the 

Belt and Road into an open platform of cooperation and 

a solution for challenges, including a lack of new growth 

drivers, development imbalance and terrorism. President 

Xi Jinping said China hoped to create a big family of 

harmonious co-existence, and the pursuit of the Belt and 

Road will not resort to outdated geopolitical manoeuvring. 

To ease concerns, Xi said China has no intention of 

interfering in internal affairs of other countries, exporting 

its social system and model of development, or imposing 

its will on others. 

accounting for 8.5 percent of total overseas investment 

made by Chinese enterprises. 

The Chinese President in his speech also mentioned China 

will expand China-Europe railway cargo services and 

establish new mechanisms, including a liaison office for 

the forum’s follow-up activities and a research centre. With 

coordinated and sustained collaboration among all parties 

concerned, the forum will mark the start of the Belt and 

Road 2.0. 

Opportunities for New Zealand 

Attending the forum showed that New Zealand wanted to 

be part of the discussion. New Zealand and China signed a 

ground-breaking memorandum of understanding on Belt 

and Road Initiative in March. The longer-term target is to 

work with China to develop a plan on how New Zealand 

can participate and contribute to the initiative. 

One of the eye-catching outcomes of the forum was China’s 

hefty financial support to advance the initiative, including 

an additional 100 billion yuan (14.5 billion U.S. dollars) to 

the Silk Road Fund. 

China will also encourage its financial institutions to 

conduct overseas yuan fund businesses with an estimated 

amount of about 300 billion yuan. China’s decision to scale 

up financial support for the Belt and Road, after billions 

of U.S. dollars of investment over the past three years, 

underscored the country’s resolution to push forward the 

initiative. 

The Belt and Road will be open to all. All countries, from 

Asia, Europe, Africa, Oceania or the Americas, can be 

partners of the initiative. So far, the initiative has won 

support from more than 100 countries and international 

organizations, of which over 40 have signed cooperation 

agreements. 

Landmark Significance 

The Belt and Road initiative has gone beyond vision and 

become a reality, delivering tangible benefits to countries 

along the routes. From Mongolia to Malaysia, Thailand to 

Pakistan and Laos to Uzbekistan, many projects, including 

high-speed railways, bridges, ports, industrial parks, oil 

pipelines and power grids, are being built. Since 2013, 

Chinese businesses have invested more than 60 billion 

U.S. dollars in countries along the Belt and Road. The 

investment totalled 14.5 billion dollars in 2016 alone, 

This advertorial page is supported by The Chinese Consulate 

Coming back from the Belt and Road Forum for 

International Cooperation, Paul Goldsmith who is New 

Zealand’s Minister of Science and Innovation, Minister of 

Tertiary Education, Skills and Employment, said the forum 

“was a very impressive and significant event.” As the head 

of the New Zealand delegation, Goldsmith said during an 

interview that he sees the Belt and Road Initiative as the 

re-management, re-invention and re-invigoration of the 

ancient trade routes. He said “The Silk Road is a starting 

point and an expression of support for the open market, 

reducing trade barriers, increasing connectivity across the 

world. He said that as a small trading nation, New Zealand 

“obviously has a keen interest on all those things” and 

New Zealand is well aware of the opportunities that China 

provide especially for bilateral trade. 

Being Minister of Science and Innovation, Mr. Goldsmith 

is particularly interested in the themes of the Belt and 

Road Initiative on innovation, which is the particular 

field that New Zealand is focused on. New Zealand is 

also looking into how the two countries can continue to 

work together on innovation in many fields. New Zealand 

universities have long time relationships with Chinese 

leading universities. Mr. Goldsmith said that there’s a good 

prospect for New Zealand and China to further develop 

science connections under the Belt and Road Initiative.

HOME PROFESSIONALS 

SELWYN TIMES 

Heating the home over winter 

With the colder days, we are turning on 

the heating. 

The best way to heat a home depends on 

its age and construction. As up to a third 

of household energy goes on heating, 

insulating an older home is a starting point. 

All homes require heating on dull cold 

days however, insulated double glazed 

homes hold heat in for longer and those 

built to the sun capitalise on free energy. 

Aim for a healthy comfortable 

temperature with no chill in the air, 

avoiding over-heating that leads to the 

need to peel off clothes, and unnecessary 

electricity expenditure. 

Electricity, gas, solar, pellet and log fires 

are all potential heating sources. A log fire is 

economical if there is a supply of affordable 

dry wood while heat pumps are the most 

cost effective while gas fires add ambience. 

Unflued gas heaters are the most expensive. 

Underfloor heating feels great. It is more 

efficient if people spend time at home 

though it will translate to larger power bills. 

As it takes time to heat up, it is usually left on 

which can make the house uncomfortably 

hot on a sunny day. 

Centrally heating can also be effective. 

Pipes or ducts might be used to feed 

warm air throughout the home or from a 

log burner. Ceiling fans are also good for 

circulating warm air within a room. 

Central or water solar heating utilises 

the sun’s free energy with the latter more 

cost effective, however, with new storage 

batteries coming onto the market, solar 

power may be a real alternative soon. 

Portable heaters also have their place, 

quickly heating a room or eliminating the 

chill in a bedroom. Fan heaters warm the air 

but are less effective than column or radiant 

heaters that warm objects holding heat in a 

room for longer. Using heaters with a timer 

also allows temperature control avoiding 

wasting power and meaning they are safer 

with children. 

Central heating 

or ceiling 

mounted heat 

pumps can 

circulate warm 

air around the 

home. 

Log fires are 

economical 

where a 

supply of 

affordable dry 

wood. 

Gas fires add 

ambience.

Maxine, Lorna and Sylvia realise this and have 

been busy creating a display showroom at the front 

of Classic Curtains and Interiors. 

“It’s a work in progress with exciting things 

happening,” explains Maxine. 

The shop still has a workroom at the rear while 

the layout at the front of the store, is gradually being 

changed into a bright new showroom that will feature 

fabulous fabrics, cushions and upholstered furniture 

to inspire interior design. A Mood 

Board is also planned, which will 

be updated seasonally. People will 

also be able to see the displays 

through the windows, after hours. 

“We’ve still a little to do however, 

most of our new showroom is 

already in place,” advises Maxine 

who says that soon to be erected 

new signage, will give the store 

more street presence. 

Classic Curtains and Interior’s 

new showroom layout will also 

showcase the wide range of 

services they offer including 

making and supply of curtains 

and blinds, selling a large selection 

of cushions as well as offering an 

upholstery service. 

You will also want to check out 

the large assortment of short and

and linings in-store. These are 

selling for $50 a roll.

SELWYN TIMES 

The ideal time to 

install irrigation 

With minimal lawn growth and moisture in the air, 

garden watering is over until spring when shifting the hose 

becomes a necessary chore unless an irrigation system is 

in place. 

Winter is an ideal time to install an irrigation system. 

The ground is softer so a better job can be done with less 

damage to the lawn. Spring growth will hide any marks 

on the lawn created when the pipes were installed and the 

system will be ready to use when the hotter drier months 

come along. 

Freeman Irrigation specialise in installing 

and maintaining irrigation systems. They 

use top quality Toro and Hunter commercial 

grade components, pipes and fittings. These 

meet industry standards, are more reliable 

and have a longer life. 

Freeman Irrigation install garden drip lines 

with built-in timers and pop-up irrigation 

systems, fitted before laying a lawn or into 

existing lawns using a Mole plough. This cuts 

a fine channel in the grass, pulling the hose 

through in a no-mess operation that does not 

rip the grass up. 

They can fit separate control stations and 

timers for the garden and lawn, allowing 

irrigation to be turned off for part of the 

garden; an ideal option when there is a lawn 

watering ban on. 

Now is also a good time for irrigation 

system maintenance and servicing so grass or 

soil that is blocking a jet is removed, leaks or problems such 

as water pooling are sorted and the system is functioning 

correctly so it comes on when, and for as long as required. 

“Irrigation systems should be checked annually to ensure 

they operate efficiently and as they’re meant to,” explains 

Phil Hudson, owner of Freeman Irrigation. 

His team can service your existing irrigation system, 

repairing any problems, many of which take just one or two 

hours to fix. 

The Mole plough cuts a fine channel in the grass. 

Freeman Irrigation uses top grade components. 

Freeman Irrigation offers special rates 

for the installation of an irrigation 

system over winter. Just call Phil on

On the 5th – 12th July 2017, a group of 12 students, 

2 staff and a parent helper will travel to Rarotonga 

to embark on a journey of a lifetime tracing the 

footsteps of our Tipuna, to see where their journey 

began and to get a better understanding of where 

our tipuna came from plus the customs and 

protocols they learnt before they arrived in Aotearoa.

Many activities have been planned for the 7 day trip. Some of 

the learning objectives our students will undertake will be: 

1. To research and understand the history of the 

migration of Maori through the Cook Islands. 

2. To look at the similarities/differences of the 

Cook Island language and Maori language. 

3. To interactive and learn the Cook Island culture 

with Tereora College. 

Many thanks to the following sponsors and our community for helping us go on this amazing trip

RED CROSS 

Ensuring a safe work place 

Learning first aid is not only a part of ensuring a safe 

work place, but also an integral part of our engagement with the 

wider community. We all learn the necessary skills to ensure that 

in times of emergency we are able to assist our work colleagues, 

but are we able to take these skills home, into the community or 

on to the sports field? 

not all work places are the same and the injury risk for each place 

can be wide and variable. The office attended by administrators 

does not carry the same risk as those people working with heavy 

machinery, or perhaps at some distance from a regular ambulance 

service. it is therefore essential that you pick the right first aid 

course to suit all of your activities – both professional and social. 

take, for example, an office worker who does not have a high 

risk work environment and whose concern might be to ensure that 

they can deal with minor cuts and superficial injuries, or the ability 

to perform effective CPr. These skills can be achieved on a course 

of eight hours duration and would generally fit into low to medium 

risk area. But take this same person on to a sports field either as a 

spectator or player when a higher level injury occurs. The eight 

hour course covering unit standards 6402 and 6401 (or 26551 and 

26552) does not cover head neck and spinal injuries, eye injuries, 

hypothermia and poisonings. 

The majority of injuries occur outside of the work place, in 

fact one in three injuries occurs in the home, making it the most 

common place for injuries to happen. new Zealand children 

are twice as likely to die through injury as children who live in 

australia. They mostly die as a result of motor vehicles accidents 

or falls in the home. fatalities from leisure and sport are not far 

behind those in the workplace. 

The wider 12 hour course teaches the additional unit standard 

6400 and provides a wide knowledge base for medium to high risk 

environments. This course covers many of the skills required to 

deal with the most common injuries, such as falls (which can result 

in head, neck and spinal injuries) and dealing with complex scenes 

such as motor vehicle accidents. 

if you are not sure on the course best suited to your needs, ask 

your accredited first aid training provider. They can explain the 

course content and give you options that will best suit your needs. 

Look beyond the workplace and consider your family and your 

location. Check that you have a good quality first aid kit that is 

up-to-date with replenished items, and that everyone knows where 

it is located.

Buying a property? 

Get a building inspection 

Would you get a mechanic to inspect a 

used car before you bought it, or would 

you just get a mate who knows a bit about 

cars to take a look? Prospective property 

buyers face a similar conundrum – do 

they pay for a building inspection before 

making an offer, or just ask a builder 

friend to check the place out? 

Buying a car is worrisome enough, 

but the emotional and financial stakes 

are a lot higher when it comes to buying 

property. If you’re going to make a serious 

investment in something that will have 

a huge impact on your family’s health, 

wealth and wellbeing, it pays to get the 

best advice you can. 

Ideally, this means engaging a building 

inspector who can identify significant 

defects, future or urgent maintenance 

issues and problems caused by gradual 

deterioration. They will look for structural 

problems, any evidence that the property is 

a leaky building, issues caused by deferred 

maintenance (such as weatherboards 

rotting due to peeling paint) and areas 

where there is damp or mould. This is a 

visual inspection – a building surveyor will 

check in the ceiling and under the floor, 

but they will not cut holes in walls or carry 

out any other invasive testing. The whole 

property should be checked, including 

fences and any garages or sheds. They will 

collate their findings in a detailed and 

easily understood report. 

Getting a good property inspection 

carried out isn’t cheap though, particularly 

if you’re unsuccessful in buying and have 

to repeat the process. You have a range of 

choices, from enlisting a builder mate to 

using a qualified and insured inspector. 

You can also make an inspection a 

condition of your offer on a property. 

If you choose this option, the report 

must be prepared by a suitably qualified 

building inspector in accordance with 

accepted principles and methods. If you 

then use the report’s findings to get out of 

the contract, you must provide the seller 

with a copy of it. Either way, the more 

you invest in this exercise the safer you 

will be if things don’t turn out as you had 

expected. 

The property pre-purchase inspection 

industry is not regulated in New Zealand, 

however the Real Estate Agents Authority 

(REAA) recommends using a qualified 

building inspector who has professional 

indemnity insurance, understands the 

strict legal requirements of their role and 

carries out their work in accordance with 

the New Zealand Property Inspection 

Standard. This is important because they 

will help protect you if something goes 

wrong later on. If you discover problems 

with the property that should have been 

evident in a building inspection, you can 

make a complaint to the professional body 

that the inspector belongs to and seek 

compensation through the courts. 

If you buy a property based on a report 

by someone like a builder mate who is 

unqualified and/or uninsured, you could 

end up owning some expensive problems. 

Even worse, you may severely limit your 

ability to seek damages if the property has 

significant issues that would have been 

picked up by a more thorough inspection. 

You have limited other avenues if 

things don’t turn out to be how they were 

represented to you. You may be able to 

rely on the warranties included in the sale 

and purchase agreement by the seller. They 

are required to confirm that (among other 

things) any work they have done on the 

property was carried out in accordance 

with any necessary permits or consents 

required by law. You may also have other 

legal options which you should speak 

to your lawyer about. REAA strongly 

recommends that you speak to a lawyer 

before you sign the sale and purchase 

agreement to understand this more. 

If you are looking to buy it’s a good 

idea to get in touch with a local building 

inspector as soon as you start your 

property search. Ask friends and family 

for their recommendations and request 

a sample report from any inspector you 

contact to get an idea of the kind of 

information they provide. Real estate 

agents can sometimes offer building 

inspection reports to prospective buyers 

on behalf of vendors. Treat these as a 

starting point rather than a definitive 

diagnostic guide to a property. 

Paying for your own report means 

you know the credentials of the person 

who prepared it, you can be sure of its 

impartiality and you can seek redress if 

needed. 

Depending on what a building 

inspection finds, you may be able to 

use a report to help you negotiate with 

the vendor over price or repairs. Even 

if a report only finds minor issues, you 

can still use it as a road map for future 

maintenance. Knowing what you’re in for 

is invaluable when you’re buying property, 

no matter how many times you’ve done it 

before. 

The New Zealand Institute of Building 

Surveyors and the Building Officials 

Institute of New Zealand both hold lists 

of qualified property inspectors. See 

buildingsurveyors.co.nz or boinz.org.nz 

for more information.

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections 

in the Selwyn District 

Elegant, stylish and spacious 

Homes by Parklane recently opened their 

new showhome in Lincoln. Aptly named 

after the subdivision in which it is located, 

the Flemington is a perfect design for 

maximising sun on a north facing section. 

This 247 square metre home is ideal for 

families or those wanting more spacious 

surroundings for everyday living and 

entertaining. Its formal entrance flows into 

a large, elegant open plan living/dining area 

that is enhanced with timber flooring, pitched 

ceiling and generous lighting. 

Two separate courtyards offer a place to 

escape outdoors no matter what the wind 

direction. These are accessed through large 

stacker sliders on both sides of the h-shaped 

design, capturing natural light within the 

home and guaranteeing a beautifully warm 

house while also offering views of the 

surrounding countryside. 

The hub of the home is stylish. There is a 

modern yet practical kitchen, equipped with 

two ovens, gas hob, push-to-open cupboards 

and walk-in pantry for plenty of storage, 

Subway tiled splashback, black gooseneck tap, 

and stone top bench with waterfall ends that 

adds further refinement. 

A separate sitting room runs off the living 

room providing a place for conversation 

while the double-sided, see-through gas fire 

adds warmth and intimacy in both living 

spaces. 

Full height doors throughout the home 

create openness while a duel controlled 

ducted heat pump warms and cools 

(according to the season) throughout the 

living and four generous sized bedrooms. 

Morning sun streams into the master 

bedroom for a beautifully warm room during 

the day and a generous walk-in robe offers 

plenty of room for his and hers. The stunning 

ensuite includes a double tiled shower and 

soaker for pure luxury and comfort. 

The second bedroom is also a larger room 

which includes a walk-in robe and ensuite 

affording comfort to guests who can relax in 

their own private wing. 

Both ensuites and main bathroom have 

under-floor heating and heated towel rails 

along with modern vanity units. The main 

bathroom also has a free standing quality 

bath with a Stopsol glass window so you can 

relax and enjoy a soak while watching the 

night go by, assured of complete privacy. 

A large laundry and storage cupboards 

are cleverly tucked into the double garage, 

an area that is carpeted so could double as a 

games room for the children. 

Black tray roofing offsets white plaster for a 

lovely first impression in this modern home 

while the lush green lawn, easy care garden 

and metal panel fencing, not only look smart 

but are also low maintenance, especially with 

a watering system on timer.

REAA - Disclosure rules 

when selling a home 

Real estate advertisements are designed 

to make every property look like a dream 

buy. That’s why they gloss over the negative 

aspects and linger on the good points, 

wanting you to be drawn in by the sundrenched 

location rather than be put off by 

lack of garaging. It’s no crime to gloss over a 

property’s quirks, but lying by omission or 

design about more serious matters is not 

allowed. If you do this when selling your 

property you may be at risk of being sued by 

the purchaser. 

When you’re ready to sell your property 

it’s a good idea to get legal advice about 

your obligations before you sign an agency 

agreement. Most of these agreements, which 

set out the terms and conditions of your 

contract with the real estate agent, require 

you to confirm that you are unaware of any 

undisclosed defects in the property and that 

you haven’t withheld any information about 

it. 

As a seller, you must also confirm that 

your property has all the necessary consents 

and code compliance certificates for any 

building work. Any outstanding consents, 

including ones that involve any works at a 

neighbour’s property, should be disclosed to 

the agent. 

This is important for several reasons. 

Licensed real estate agents have clear 

obligations when it comes to disclosure. They 

must not mislead a seller or a potential buyer, 

or withhold any information. While it’s not 

up to the agent to uncover any hidden defects 

in a property, they must tell any prospective 

buyers what they know. 

Under the Real Estate Agents Act 2008, 

if licensed real estate agents suspect that a 

property may have a defect then they are 

obliged to ask the seller about it, or advise 

potential buyers of any risks. For example, 

if a property is next door to a proposed 

new development, or if it’s in an area that’s 

been subject to flooding, the agent must tell 

prospective buyers rather than turning a 

blind eye. 

If your property may be prone to 

weathertightness issues thanks to its age or 

cladding, then the agent may have to disclose 

this potential risk to prospective buyers. If it 

doesn’t have any weathertightness problems 

it may be worth getting this confirmed in 

an expert report by a qualified building 

inspector who has professional indemnity 

insurance, understands the strict legal 

requirements of their role and carries out 

their work in accordance with the New 

Zealand Property Inspection Standard. This 

will help make the sale process as efficient as 

possible. 

If you know there are issues with the 

property, whether it’s something small like 

a garage door not working properly, or a 

bigger deal like an unconsented deck, it’s 

best to discuss them with the agent you are 

working with. They can help you decide how 

to manage the problem, whether that means 

fixing it, or disclosing it to potential buyers. 

However, a licensed real estate agent must not 

disclose any problems with your property to 

buyers without getting your consent first. If a 

seller doesn’t agree on a disclosure, the agent 

is required to stop working for them rather 

than disclose any defects without consent. 

These rules offer more protection to buyers 

than the traditional attitude of ‘caveat emptor’ 

(buyer beware), which assumed that the seller 

would always know more than the buyer and 

any sale was at the buyer’s risk. However, 

buyers should always do their own research 

about a property before signing a sale and 

purchase agreement. Buyers should also ask 

the agent about anything they are concerned 

about, no matter how trivial it may seem. It’s 

far better to get an answer upfront than find 

out when it’s too late.

property, check out sellingahome.reaa.govt.nz
