Schools 

against bid 

for new 

liquor store 

in Lincoln 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

LINCOLN SCHOOLS are 

standing up against plans for a 

new liquor store, saying they are 

worried about the message it will 

send to students. 

An application has been made 

to open a new shop – the Lincoln 

Bottle Store – at 12A Gerald St, 

which is 96m away from Super 

Liquor. 

The opportunity to make an 

objection closes tomorrow, and 

a hearing date is yet to be set by 

the district licensing committee. 

The application has been opposed 

by Lincoln High School. 

Principal Kathy Paterson said 

there was already another liquor 

outlet close by and it was sending 

a poor message to students 

regarding drugs and alcohol. 

“It is just its location – if it 

was somewhere else in Lincoln, 

where it wasn’t so central 

to where the students are, it 

wouldn’t pose such a problem,” 

she said. 

Lincoln Primary School and 

Lincoln University both told 

Selwyn Times they were aware of 

the application and were considering 

a response. 

Lincoln Primary School previously 

objected to Super Liquor, 

and for the first four years of 

its establishment, the store was 

required to be closed during the 

hours its pupils were travelling 

home from school. 

Principal Vivienne Butcher 

said another liquor store was 

absolutely unnecessary. 

“It does seem to me to be an 

oversupply of liquor outlets in 

one small frontage,” she said.

FROM 

THE 

EDITOR’S 

DESK 

WHERE THERE’S a demand 

there is opportunity, and in 

Lincoln’s case right now it appears 

to be hospitality. 

New bars are being built and we 

reveal today (page 1) there is an 

application for a new off licence 

bottle store in Gerald St. 

Off-licence bottle store applications 

tend to attract opposition and 

it’s no different in this case. 

The two local schools are against 

it. 

But there’s a very good reason 

another off-licence wants to go into 

Lincoln – the university students. 

And that’s what I mean by demand. 

The New World supermarket 

and Super Liquor dominate the 

off-licence market at the moment 

but obviously the new applicant 

believes there is room for more 

business. 

That will mean competition, and 

competition is good. There will be 

a lot of pressure to retain business. 

The winner? – the customer.

“My first pair of hearing aids...” 

When someone first comes to see me, they often 

have no idea what to expect. It is common for 

people with hearing loss to wait up to 7 years 

after first noticing the symptoms before seeking 

help. That is a very long time to be dealing 

with the day to day stress of struggling to hear. 

If you know you need help with your hearing 

but haven’t seen an audiologist yet, here is what 

you can expect. 

Free hearing check. This will confirm a hearing 

loss if you have one. Its a quick and accurate 

test that often reaffirms what my customers 

already suspect. 

Full diagnostic hearing test. This test is far 

more detailed and tells us what type of hearing 

loss you have (sensory or middle ear related), 

we test your speech understanding at different 

levels and test if your middle ear is working 

how it should be. We look at the results and 

discuss them so that you fully understand your 

hearing loss. At this point you are welcome to 

try some hearing aids programmed exactly to 

your hearing loss in the clinic. If you are keen 

for hearing aids we will go through an assessment 

of you lifestyle to determine what ones 

might be best for you and we look at a range 

of different styles and prices to find something 

that suits your lifestyle and budget needs. You 

may even qualify for funding help through ACC 

or the Ministry of Health – we can go through 

the process together so you know what you may 

be entitled to. 

Hearing aid fitting. Once we have decided on 

what hearing aids are best for you, we fit the 

aids to you ears and tune them up to your hearing 

loss. We can adjust them to your personal 

preference as well, as sometimes we need to set 

things more conservatively to start with. One 

thing I do is make sure we do a lot of practice at 

this appointment. I want my customers to feel 

completely comfortable with the technology! 

Putting the aids in you ears, changing batteries, 

how to care for your hearing aids, its all covered. 

You will leave this appointment with the right 

hearing aids for you, tuned specifically for you 

and you will be confident in how to use and 

maintain them. 

Follow-Up appointments. I like to see you 

again after a couple of weeks to ensure you are 

happy and that your hearing aids are delivering 

the best results possible. We go through things 

that went well and things that you might want

There is no extra charge for follow-up appointment

The annual check up. At these appointments 

the hearing aids can be adjusted for any further 

decline in hearing. If you already have aids 

purchased elsewhere you are welcome to switch

Gemma’s walkies on 

wheels puts smiles on faces 

• By Georgia 

O’Connor-Harding 

A LITTLE dog in a pram is 

capturing hearts everywhere 

she goes in Rolleston. 

Described as a “little 

madam,” Gemma the cairn 

terrier loves her daily walks 

and hates to be left at home. 

So when she was diagnosed 

with a serious illness, her 

owner Sue Smit came up 

with a cunning plan to make 

sure her dog could still get 

outdoors. 

Each morning you will find 

Gemma out travelling firstclass 

in a pram on Goulds 

Rd, near the roundabout of 

Clearview Primary School. 

Mrs Smit came up with 

the idea after a friend of hers 

bought a proper dog stroller 

after an operation on its ligaments. 

Earlier this year the 

10-year-old was diagnosed 

with immune-mediated 

hemolytic anemia, causing 

her immune system to start 

attacking her red blood cells. 

Mrs Smit said the disease 

causes her to tire easily making 

it difficult for her to walk 

far. 

But she said Gemma will 

push through whatever happens 

to her. 

Mrs Smit was first made 

aware of Gemma’s condition 

when the dog fainted while 

running around at the Foster 

Park Dog Exercise Area. 

While there is no cure to 

the illness, Gemma is on 

medication. 

The little dog has united 

canine-fans on Facebook’s 

Rolleston Community Page 

with nearly 500 responses to

an image of her posted online 

and several comments wishing 

her a fast recovery. 

“She is a very cute little 

dog. Everyone who meets 

her absolutely loves her,” Mrs 

Smit said. 

Mrs Smit said Gemma 

used to love running up to 

her favourite people at the 

dog park. 

Since Gemma’s image was 

posted on Facebook, Mrs 

Smit said she is regularly approached 

by residents asking 

how she is doing.

NEW TAI TAPU TOILET SIGN 

The confusion over where to find Tai 

Tapu’s public toilets may no longer be 

an issue for travellers passing through 

the township. A new toilet sign was 

installed by the district council at the 

intersection of Rhodes Rd and Old Tai 

Tapu Rd last week. 

BETTER BROADBAND 

The Government has announced 

ultra-fast broadband will be extended 

to more areas in Selwyn. The areas 

include Arthur’s Pass, Castle Hill, 

Coalgate, Glentunnel, Doyleston, Dunsandel, 

Hororata, Kirwee, Prebbleton, 

Tai Tapu, Waddington and Sheffield. 

MP for Selwyn Amy Adams said it 

is fantastic news. “Rolling out worldclass 

broadband is a vital part of the 

Government’s plan to support regional 

growth,” she said. A total of $233.3 

million will be invested in ultra-fast 

broadband connectivity across Canterbury.

Cost savings expected 

with new street lights 


A DISTRICT-WIDE replacement 

of Selwyn’s old street lights will 

get under way in a bid to save 

electricity costs. 

The district council will replace 

its stock 

of about 5800 

street lights 

with LED 

technology as 

part of a threeyear 

renewal 

programme. 

The New 

Zealand 

Murray Lemon 

Transport 

Agency recently 

approved a funding business 

case for the district council 

to replace its lights. 

The business case found the 

cost of the renewal programme 

of $3.3 million would have a payback 

period of four to six years 

based on the energy cost savings 

of the LED lighting. 

NZTA has recently increased 

its funding assistance rate from 

49 per cent, to 85 per cent for 

LED street lighting associated 

with roads. It is available until 

the next financial year. 

RENEWAL: Street lights across the district are set to be 

replaced with LED technology. 

A Canterbury Regional 

Transport Committee report 

said the district council wishes 

to take advantage of the NZTA’s 

enhanced funding assistance. 

Funding has already been 

approved by the district council 

through its 2017/18 annual plan 

for the renewal programme. 

District councillor Murray 

Lemon said the LED renewal 

Been paid out from EQC 

or needing a facelift? 

light programme was a nobrainer. 

“It was an up front cost but 

when you look at the operational 

cost it virtually paid for itself,” Cr 

Lemon said. 

District councillors first had a 

presentation from district council 

staff on the programme about 

six months ago. 

Comedy night 

tickets selling fast 

TICKETS FOR Lincoln’s second 

comedy night are selling fast.

October 7 event at the Lincoln

“We are really pleased with the

who are once again supporting 

Live in Lincoln,” he said. 

“This is our second year and it 

just goes to show you that if you 

put on a good quality, unique 

event, our community will support 

it and have a fun night out” 

This year an additional comedian

Fire rages, homes at risk 

Water quality into lake set to improve 


NEW MEASURES have been 

put in place in a bid to monitor 

the water quality going into Lake 

Ellesmere/Te Waihora. 

A resource consent has been 

lodged by the Osbornes catchment 

management working 

party to restrict the type of discharge 

running from Osbornes 

Drain into the lake. 

The Osbornes drainage scheme 

is a network of about 9km of 

drains operating 

over 

1620 ha of 

farmland and 

discharges 

into the lake 

by a pump 

station. 

A meeting 

Sam Broughton 

over the 

resource 

consent to revive 

the drain was held between 

the Osbornes catchment management 

working party earlier 

this month. 

District council water asset 

manager Murray England said 

it was a significant milestone for 

the party, who have been working 

to get a consent for the last 

three years. 

The party is made up of representatives 

from ECan, Te Runanga 

o Ngai Tahu, Te Taumutu 

Runanga, Wairewa Runanga, 

Department of Conservation, 

district council and the Osbornes 

drainage committee. 

The aim of the consent is to 

improve its water quality and 

ecosystem health and avoid erosion 

and sediment damage of the 

drain. 

Mayor Sam Broughton said 

the consent looks at measures to 

make sure things are not going 

into the lake that shouldn’t be. 

The consent aims to improve 

water quality and ecosystem 

health, avoid erosion and sediment 

discharge, reduce adverse 

effects of flooding and facilitate 

sustainable farming practice. 

It will also be limited to water

Land Drainage network. 

A report prepared for the district 

council by environmental 

consultant Pattle Delamore 

Partners Ltd found water quality 

sampling of the Osbornes Drain 

indicated high nitrogen and 

phosphorus concentrations. 

Environment Canterbury’s 

Water Quality Index characterised 

the water quality in the 

drain as poor. 

The report said historical 

activities such as unmanaged 

land uses, such as direct 

discharge of dairy effluent and 

stock access into the drain is 

likely to have contributed to the 

build up of contaminants in 

sediment. 

Plans discussed in the report 

include removing all sediment 

for the entire length of the Osbornes 

Drain. 

Before the 1940s it was 

estimated Lake Ellesmere/Te 

Waihora had about 800 tonnes 

reaching it per year. 

Since then, the nitrogen load 

has increased, accompanied by a 

deterioration in water quality. 

The Selwyn Te Waihora 

section of ECan’s Land and 

Water Regional Plan, seeks to 

limit the amount of nitrogen 

reaching the lake to 4800 tonnes 

per year.

Mural back in station 

foyer at Arthur’s Pass 

• By Georgia O’Connor- 

Harding 

Pete 

ARTHUR’S PASS railway 

station’s colourful mural 

has been restored to its 

former glory. 

More than two years ago, 

the station’s historic waiting 

room mural was taken 

down while 

the station was 

re-painted and 

repaired. 

Arthur’s 

Pass Community 

Centre 

chairman Pete 

Neale said the 

Neale 

restoration comes after at 

last two years of emails and 

phone calls with KiwiRail. 

The mural was first 

installed when the station 

opened in 1966 after the 

previous station burnt 

down in 1963. 

In 2015, the station 

under went a makeover 

involving the removal of 

asbestos and the relining of 

the entire building on the 

inside. 

Mr Neale said while the 

mural should have been 

re-installed, this did not 

happen at the time. 

He said after finally 

managing to contact an 

employee of KiwiRail’s 

resource services department, 

permission to have 

the mural re-installed was 

given. 

“In between all this, 

the mural went missing 

from the back room at the 

station. Thankfully, some 

fine late night detective 

work found it stored in a 

container near the station,” 

Mr Neale said.

He said he made the application

The population of the

is expected to grow to 

9442 by 2025. 

“I see an opportunity

many for small-sized 

Lincoln. 

“We already have a 

bottle store, a New World 

and there are going to be 

quite a few pubs going in 

Lincoln,” she said. 

Mrs Lee said her main 

concern was residents 

not knowing about the 

application, because it was 

being done “so quietly.” 

“Are they trying to turn 

this town into a party 

town . . . we are an envirotown, 

we don’t want to 

be an alcohol town,” Mrs 

Lee said. 

Super Liquor owner 

Gulshan Gulati said he 

did not want another liquor 

store in the township, 

but he could not make an 

objection due to being a 

competitor. 

But Deputy Mayor Malcolm 

Lyall said he won’t 

object to the application 

as long as it fits in with 

the township’s planning 

regulations. 

He said while he 

wouldn’t like to see a huge 

number of liquor stores in 

the community, competition 

may “sharpen the 

pencil” of those supplying 

alcohol. 

District councillor 

Grant Miller would not 

comment and district 

councillor Debra Hasson 

did not respond to the 

Selwyn Times.

Raising awareness of amazing eels 

Rolleston Christian 

School pupil Charlie 

Johnston writes about the 

need to protect eels in 


THEY’RE SLIMY, snake-like 

and kind of ugly. 

Eels in New Zealand are in 

trouble, particularly in the Canterbury 

and Selwyn area. 

I would like to raise the awareness 

of these eels so they are still 

here for many, many years, and 

so that our waterways stay safe 

for them. 

The short-finned eel and the 

long-finned eel both live in Canterbury 

waterways including the 

Selwyn, Waimakariri, Rakaia, 

Avon, Heathcote, and Kaiapoi 

Rivers, and Lake Ellesmere. 

Both eels are also native to New 

Zealand. 

New Zealand eels are declining. 

Things such as over-fishing, 

bad water quality, pollution, river 

diversions and drought are just 

a few problems facing eels in 

Canterbury and New Zealand, 

especially the Selwyn River and 

Ashley River. 

Eels are really amazing fish, 

they may not be the most 

beautiful creatures, but they are 

extraordinary. 

CONCERNED: Rolleston Christian School pupil Charlie 

Johnston is raising awareness to protect eels in Selwyn. 

They are able to stay alive out 

of water for three days in a moist 

environment. 

Long-finned eels travel 2382km 

to Pacific islands such as Tonga 

where they spawn and die. 

Eels can live up to 100-yearsold, 

sometimes more, and long 

finned eels can grow to 2m. 

Two metre eels are usually 

females and are also extremely 

rare. 

Some people in New Zealand 

are trying to help save our eels by 

rescuing them, protesting or even 

creating petitions. 

Bay of Plenty’s Bill Kerrison 

helps younger eels. As the elvers 

(young eels) make their way 

upstream, they are stopped by 

hydro dams. 

Mr Kerrison spends about six 

months trapping and relocating 

the younger eels further 

upstream, where they will spend 

more than 50 years before returning 

to the sea 

Over three months (starting in 

autumn) Mr Kerrison spends his 

time catching mature breeding 

eels and taking them to the other 

side of the dam where he releases 

them to carry on their journey to 

breed. 

In 2013, 6766 people signed a 

petition to save the long-finned 

eel from extinction, but not much 

has happened since. 

Another reason for saving 

eels is that they’re special to 

Maori – “an ancient gift from the 

gods.” 

Tuna (eels) are of great significance 

to Maori culturally and 

eels are a significant food source 

for Maori. 

There are more than 100 different 

tribal names for eels. 

Maoris caught eels using 

Hinaki (eel pots), Pa-tuna (eel 

weirs), mata rau (spearing) and 

many more interesting methods. 

Some are still used today 

around Lake Ellesmere/Te 

Waihora and surrounding rivers. 

If you would like to help save 

the eels you can: 

•Be careful what you dispose of 

in your drainage and stormwater 

systems 

•Pick up rubbish at local rivers 

and lakes 

•Remove invasive weeds from 

rivers and lakes 

•You can also let them go when 

you catch them (especially big 

females) 

•Befriend the eels (learn from 

them you’ll find that they’re 

worth saving) 

•If you are going to catch and 

kill eels, then only keep what you 

need (don’t take too much).

News 

Now 


Trevor Thornley writes 

about the Green Party’s 

plan to charge a bottle 

water tax 

I READ with interest the recent 

article in the Selwyn Times from 

Mr Allen, on behalf of Federated 

Farmers, commenting on the 

Green Party’s plan to charge a 10 

cent a litre tax on bottled water 

sales. 

It seems the general public 

are getting rightfully concerned 

about the giving away of billions 

of litres of free water to largely 

overseas owned/controlled 

corporations, who are then able 

to make windfall profits from 

sales of NZ bottled water. 

One example being the Coca 

Cola Corporation selling a 

750ml litre bottle of pure NZ 

water for $3.50. Even allowing 

for retail and distributor markups 

that a horrendous profit for 

a product that is given to them 

largely for nothing. 

It also seems that Federated 

Farmers lobby groups are also 

getting nervous about the growing 

public awareness around water 

issues, including the massive 

amount of well water required to 

produce a litre of milk. 

A reasoned rational debate 

around this important issue 

is a positive step forward, 

but lets have it without the 

scaremongering comments 

attributed to Mr Allen. 

Readers respond to 

Selwyn Times article on 

the ongoing noise at a pet 

crematorium 

Tracy Legat – Funny 

how you complain but you 

all brought a house near the 

crematorium. It was there before 

the houses. Perhaps the district 

council should be at fault for allowing 

the developers to build so 

close to it. 

Jacinta Roosing – You are 

so right and they only work in 

the day time. Lucky it’s not at 

night then. 

Kerri Lowe – Like buying a 

house next to a pub then complaining 

about noise. 

Justin Simpson – Or people 

who buy houses near the airport 

and don’t like planes flying 

over head so want the airport 

to change the direction of the 

approach. 

Holden Angel Clayton 

– Good luck pet crematorium 

as I know a lot of us loved petowners 

value your service. 

Joanne Churcher – The 

crematorium has been there 

since 1986 so the residents would 

have known about it when they 

purchased in the area. Suck it up 

people, you chose to live there. 

Natasha Connor – I have 

four of my loved family dogs 

come back from Fond Farewells. 

I do hope this gets sorted 

and you continue to give us 

memories. Your service is greatly 

admired and appreciated. 

Stephanie Hagerty – I 

have had 12 animals go through 

Fond Farewells over the years 

and I think they are wonderful. 

So now they build a subdivision 

there and the people complain. 

No way is this fair on Fond Farewells. 

Stick to your guns you will 

have a lot of people backing you. 

Thank you for a great service. 

Tegan Osborne – We live 

next to a bunch of businesses 

that work on cars and they go 

from 6am to 6pm being noisy as 

hell. Get over it, you chose to live 

there just like I chose to live here. 

They were here before I was and 

they were there before you were. 

Valmae Hughan – We hear 

trucks all day and night and 

manage to live without complaining 

and live in the city. The 

crematorium does an awesome 

job for family pets, it was there 

first and you all knew that before 

you bought there, your choice. 

Angela Mcalister – You 

all bought there knowing the 

crematorium was there as it was 

there before the subdivision – get 

over it. I choose to live where I 

do and it is half industrial and a 

train track less than 200m away 

and we don’t even hear half the 

trains go past or the industrial 

noise and there is a scrap man 

around the corner, harden up. 

Jacinta Roosing – With 

them working in the day for only 

six hours that’s not much and 

they have been there since 1986. 

Meghann Burrow – They 

operate at the lowest level possible. 

Maybe they should turn 

the noise up and then see who 

complains. 

Jenny Jarvis: Why buy a 

house there if you don’t like 

noise, get over it people or move 

but whatever stop complaining 

Stephanie Hagerty 

– Here’s an idea. Buy another 

house away from a business that 

has been there for 31 years. 

Kyle Haugh – It is annoying. 

We live right beside them. 

Debbie Vuleta – Look 

before you buy or build – the 

crematorium was there first - 

suggest you move if you don’t 

like it.

to speed limit 

consultation about to 

get under way by the 

district council 

Bob Stewart – I would 

like to say that with the 

exception of the main 

arterial roads such as 

Springs Rd and Shands 

Rd, most rural roads in the 

Selwyn district should be 

reduced to 80km/h. 

I am constantly amazed 

at the number of rural 

roads that are narrow, 

undulating and winding 

that are totally unsafe at 

100km/h. 

I look forward to a 

common sense change to 

lower speed limits for roads 

that are not engineered and 

built to the same standard 

as our main route roads 

such as state highways. 

Thomas Maxwell 

– I am a local resident in 

Springston. I feel that more 

speed limit signs need to be 

put up for motorists to see 

as they enter and leave the 

Springston township area. 

Many neighbours share 

my feeling that vehicles 

drive far too fast through 

the township. I live on the 

eastern end of Springston, 

where the speed limit 

changes from 100km/h 

down 50km/h.

ISSUE: Vehicle speed in Springston has a resident 

concerned. 

However, the transition 

distance for the average 

motorist to reduce vehicle 

speed from 100km/h down 

to 50km/h is not enough, 

and most vehicles (cars, 

vans or trucks) are entering 

the Springston township 

area (a 50km/h speed zone) 

doing between 90-70km/h. 

My house is the first 

house you pass as you come 

into Springston, and we 

constantly hear throughout 

the day fast travelling cars 

entering and leaving the 

township. 

Part of the issue is that 

the opposite end of the 

township does actually 

have a 100 to 70 to 50km/h 

transition zone, but our 

end of the township does 

not, which is by far the 

busier end of Springston, 

with its proximity to the 

Leeston Rd and Ellesmere 

Junction Rd “T-junction”. 

This junction is busy in 

the mornings and evenings, 

with commuters making 

there way to and from 

work. 

Fellow Selwyn residents 

living beyond Springston 

who utilise the Leeston 

Rd-Ellesmere Junction Rd 

junction, will turn onto 

Ellesmere Junction Rd 

heading towards Lincoln or 

Hornby and will begin to 

speed up towards 100km/h 

because they see the end 

of the limited speed zone 

road sign ahead, but not a 

50km/h sign. 

Overall road and 

pedestrian safety 

and the Springston 

residents general feeling 

of comfort and security is 

the primary concern I am 

raising here. 

I understand that the 

local neighbourhood 

watch group has asked 

the district council to do 

something about the issue 

of motorists speeding 

through Springston in the 

past, but no action has been 

taken yet.

Clearview pupils create mural 

to adorn school’s entranceway 

CLEARVIEW Primary pupils 

have created the school’s first 

mural. 

The mural features the house 

groups, including earth, air, 

water and fire, along with the 

Waimakariri River and Tane 

Mahuta, the school’s symbolic 

eye displayed in the middle. 

Teacher Adele Allport said 

the copper circles on the right 

of the mural have the school’s 

values imprinted on them – 

collaborate, climb, connect, 

care, create and curious. 

The mural was designed 

and painted by 130 pupils 

ranging from year 1 through 

to year 8. 

A small design team first 

started working on the mural 

with Mrs Allport about 12 

months ago. 

The mural is 3.6m x 2.4m 

long and is on display at the 

front of the school. 

Mrs Allport said the school’s 

property manager Ricky 

Hoffmeister also played a large 

role in the construction of the 

mural’s 3D elements. 

The mural was created using 

a range of materials including 

rope, copper and steel. 

Mrs Allport said plans are 

already in the pipeline for the 

school’s next mural, which 

will also go on display at the 

entrance of the school.

Playcentre returns 

A PLAYCENTRE is once again 

a busy hub for families in the 

Tai Tapu area. 

The centre now has 15 to 20 

families attending at its new 

building on Old Tai Tapu Rd. 

The Tai Tapu Playcentre 

opened at the beginning of 

term three after its old building 

sustained damaged in the September 

4, 2010, and February 

22, 2011, earthquakes. 

In spite of the old playcentre 

building needing demolition, 

it was not closed until last 

November. While the new 

building was built, it used the 

Prebbleton Playcentre and had 

shared sessions with the Lincoln 

Playcentre. 

President Alice Scoulding said 

many families have joined the 

new centre recently after seeing

Kim’s 

Fashion Quarterly 

from Kim Taylor —Viva La Moda 

Spring is in the air! 

A few sunny days have given us a wee taste of the new season 

and spring has most definitely sprung in stores. 

While we still have some incredible bargains in the winter sales, 

the store is mainly full to the brim with 

beautiful fresh summer styles. 

There are an abundance of 

pretty fabrics and colours from 

pastel pinks, blues and greens 

to vibrant pinks, navy and a 

smattering of red. 

Tops remain a soft easy fit 

so wont cling to you as the 

temperature rises. 

Dresses are strong once again 

this season and there is a real 

mixture of lengths and styles 

from maxi to mini and 

everything in between! 

We have pictured the pretty Vassalli 

garden blouse ($145) in hues of greys, blues 

and white. This is a nice easy top to wear 

with jeans or a skirt. 

Another pretty Vassalli top ($139) is here 

in blue floral and is being worn with 

Vassalli white jeans ($165). This top 

also looks perfect with blue denim 

jeans. 

The pretty green floral top with 

ultra-feminine styling, featuring lace 

detailing is by Seduce ($129). 

Another versatile and funky top by 

Seduce features neon trim to add 

that important pop of colour to add 

interest and flair ($99). 

A beautiful example of the longer length 

in dresses is shown here with the Zafina 

muse dress in navy and white print 

($199). This dress would take you to a 

summer barbeque or dress it up for a 

beach wedding. 

Another repeat style from Zafina is the 

casual and quirky Celeste dress in black 

and pink on the front, stripes on the 

back( $169). This dress can be worn

Backyard Critters 

Nine species of earwig call New Zealand home 

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 

NEW ZEALAND has at least 

nine earwig species – four native 

species and five cosmopolitan 

species – all with the 

characteristic forceps at the rear. 

The largest (up to 33mm long) 

of these is the native littoral 

earwig that is found at the high 

tide mark under kelp, driftwood 

or stones. 

The most common of the 

species is the European earwig 

(forficula auricularia), which 

was first recorded in New 

Zealand in 1898. 

This 20mm, flattened, reddishbrown 

species is commonly 

encountered in your garden, 

including in flower heads, woody 

crevices and stone fruits such as 

apricots or nectarines. 

In high densities the species 

is considered a pest due to the 

significant damage it can cause 

to fruit, flowers and vegetable 

crops. 

However, this earwig can also 

be a beneficial biocontrol species 

of small insect pests including a

number of aphid and scale insect 

species. 

In late autumn, both male and 

female earwigs burrow in soil to 

overwinter. 

The female lays a clutch of 

50-80 eggs that she cares for by 

cleaning and rotating to avoid 

fungal growth. 

Once hatched, females will 

guard their young for about one 

month, when they have reached 

maturity. 

Work to begin on Southbridge courts 

SPORTS 

• By Gordon Findlater 

THE resurfacing of Southbridge 

Tennis Club’s four 30-year-old 

asphalt courts will begin on 

Thursday after six years of 

lobbying the district council. 

The courts, which are owned 

by the club but open to the public, 

will be closed from Thursday 

and are expected to re-open in 

three weeks. 

Former club president Phil 

Carter has been in charge of 

the effort to get the courts 

resurfaced and was delighted to 

get the news from the district 

council recently that it will make 

a healthy contribution to the 

resurfacing of the courts. 

While Carter could not comment 

on the district council’s 

exact contribution, he said the 

cost of the resurfacing the courts 

could have crippled the club. 

They were badly damaged and 

in need of a resurfacing following 

the earthquakes. 

Until now, the club’s expenses 

have been paid for by members 

and fundraising. 

“Now that we’ve got the go 

ahead we can start focussing on 

promoting tennis,” said Carter. 

The club plans to host an 

opening day once the work is 

complete, which will double as a 

chance for potential new members 

to come and enjoy a sausage 

sizzle. 

It currently has just under 50 

members and hosts mid-week 

members’ nights and coaching,

Speed limit 

changes proposed 

Heritage Funding available 

The Selwyn Heritage Fund will open on Monday 11 September for 

the 2017 funding round. 

A total of $40,000 is available to support projects by owners of 

heritage buildings or protected trees. The fund will cover part of 

the cost of a project, which may include restoring, reinforcing and 

protecting heritage buildings, trees or other structures that have 

historical or cultural importance. Applicants will need to fund some 

of the cost from other sources. 

In 2016 the Selwyn Heritage Fund assisted 15 projects across 

the district, including the bell tower refurbishment of St George's 

Anglican Church, Kirwee, Tai Tapu School heritage oak tree 

pruning, the relocation of Mary's Cottage in Southbridge, and the 

reconstruction of the brick fence at St John the Evangelist Catholic 

Church in Leeston. 

Priority is given to items listed in the Selwyn District Plan. Funding 

cannot be used for routine maintenance, or for improvements which 

are of personal or commercial benefit. 

Applicants need to include at least two quotes from suitably 

qualified tradespeople for the cost of the work involved. 

Applications close on Friday 20 October 2017. 

Visit www.selwyn.govt.nz/heritagefund or email 

heritagefund@selwyn.govt.nz for information and an application form. 

Consultation is now open on proposals to reduce speed limits on some rural Selwyn roads and 

around townships. 

The proposed changes include extending 50 and 70 km/hr zones on the outskirts of several 

townships, and extending or introducing 80 km/hr limits on some rural roads in eastern Selwyn. 

The proposals follow a Council review of speed limits across the district, and include changes 

requested by residents and local community committees. Crash data is also used to help identify 

areas where reduced limits may be needed. 

Townships where lower speed limits are proposed to be extended include Castle Hill, Leeston, 

Lincoln, Prebbleton, Rolleston, the Rolleston industrial area, and West Melton. 

An 80 km/hr limit is proposed on rural roads adjoining the Christchurch city boundary, including 

Maddisons Road and extending out to Tai Tapu, Lincoln and Rolleston. The existing 80 km/hr speed 

limit on rural roads in the Prebbleton area would also be extended out to Lincoln and Rolleston. 

Selwyn District Council Assets Manager Murray Washington says the proposal reflects the growth 

of many Selwyn townships. 

“Selwyn’s population is continuing to grow steadily, bringing with it new subdivisions and higher 

volumes of traffic,” he says. “Commercial and industrial activity is also increasing, with more 

heavy vehicles on our roads. 

“It’s appropriate that we review the speed limits from time to time, to make sure our roading 

network is safe for all users, that speed limits are appropriate for the conditions, and that we 

encourage safe driving.” 

The Council plans to approve the new limits before the end of the year. Consultation on the 

proposal is open until Friday 27 October. To view detailed maps and provide feedback, visit 

www.selwyn.govt.nz/haveyoursay. 

Spending up as Selwyn economy grows 

Latest economic data shows Selwyn’s economy is continuing to grow – with retail and tourism 

spending growth outstripping regional and national averages during the year to June 2017. 

The June quarterly economic monitor from analysts Infometrics shows retail sales increased by 7% on 

the same quarter last year, compared to 3.6% for New Zealand, and 1.5% for the Canterbury region. 

Spending was also up in the tourism sector, with the visitor spend for the year rising from $89 million in 

2016 to $95 million in 2017 – a 7% increase. During the same period the New Zealand average rose by 

5.9%, while the Canterbury region increased by 3.5%. 

Unemployment in Selwyn averaged 2.3% for the year, slightly up from 2% a year earlier but below the 

New Zealand average of 5% and the Canterbury region at 3.9%. 

Overall economic growth in Selwyn was moderate, with gross domestic product increasing by 1.1% 

during the year – below the New Zealand average of 2.8%, but ahead of the Canterbury regional figure 

of 0.8%. 

Selwyn Mayor Sam Broughton says the spending growth is a positive sign for the Selwyn economy, at a 

time when overall economic activity is easing off from previously high levels. 

“It’s pleasing to see the district maintain its economic activity,” he says. “The easing in growth was 

always expected, as Canterbury reached its construction peak post-earthquake. 

“There are positive signals for the coming year – the number of building consents the council is 

processing remain strong, and a stronger dairy payout is anticipated.” 

In the June quarter the Council issued a total of 357 new dwelling building consents – the highest 

quarterly total since December 2015. 

The full Infometrics economic monitor is available at: www.selwyn.govt.nz/services/economic-development.

New exhibition 

evokes imagination 

The newest exhibition at Darfield’s 

Selwyn Gallery, ‘Surrealists – What Dreams 

May Come’, features a wonderful mix of 

whimsical. Their intricate details evoke 

wonder and imagination, making this 

‘different’ exhibition not to be missed. The 

exhibitors are talented artists, Jinx, Dave 

Pearson, and John Burns. 

A work by Dave Pearson. 

Jinx in the Sky 

Originally from Austria, Jinx in the Sky 

moved to New Zealand in 2006. 

She finds inspiration in dreams, 

emotions, and song lyrics. Sometimes 

even small things such as sunlight passing 

through coloured glass or just a striking 

colour combination can trigger ideas for 

new paintings. 

“This series of paintings is inspired by 

my love for botanic gardens and Victorian 

glasshouses. The glasshouse in my paintings 

serves as a little retreat. A place to relax… 

safe oasis to daydream in…a fortress of 

inner peace and light. Under the glass, safe 

from the elements, it provides a special 

place to nurture what brings us joy, what 

makes us happy, what keeps us sane.” 

David Pearson 

Dave Pearson has been drawing as far 

One of John Burns’ works included 

in the exhibition. 

back as his early primary 

school days. His favourite 

things to draw at the time 

were tanks, skeletons, and 

dungeons. After many years 

of scratching around with 

biro and paper, he searched 

for a suitable medium to 

finally take his ideas and rough 

drawings through to finished 

work. In 2010 Dave signed up to do 

a digital concept design workshop in 

Wellington, and was hooked. 

Fantasy art and design in the movie 

industry have been his major influences. 

Dave’s goal is to develop his painting 

technique and style, and do commissioned 

work for book and album covers. 

John Burns 

John and his wife live in the village of 

Otira, which he describes as “a place of 

dynamic weather, high mountains, rivers 

and waterfalls, native birds and animals, all 

the simple things we love most”. 

“I have been an artist for a very long 

time, sold works through galleries and 

our own gallery here in Otira. My art is in 

a state of constant evolution. Some have 

stories, some are crazy, gentle, mad, kind, 

thoughtful, different, and that’s a word I 

hear a lot about my art, and a word I like... 

to be different.” 

John is proud to say he has never been 

A work by Jinx in the Sky. 

to art school. He began painting portraits, 

but now is only interested in painting 

contemporary art, including modernist 

illustrations of people, including Maori 

women. John’s wife, Di Gordon-Burns, has 

written a collection of children’s books, 

which Burns plans to illustrate: “I’ve done 

the cover and it’s like no other children’s 

book.” 

‘Surrealists – What Dreams May Come’ 

runs from September 1-25, 2017. Selwyn 

Gallery is open daily (except Mondays) 

from 10am to 4pm for the duration of the 

show.

Second speed 

indicator 

to be installed 

Following the installation of a first road 

speed indicator at Weedons Ross Road 

in West Melton by the Selwyn District 

Council, residents were keen to see a 

second one installed. 

They were concerned that the growth in 

the town’s population was seeing increased 

driving speed in the district, and around 

the local school. 

The West Melton Residents’ Association 

carried out a survey to determine where 

people wanted the second one to be 

installed, and the preferred location was 

the eastern approach on SH73. 

Selwyn District Council Road Engineer 

Mark Chamberlain said the road speed 

indicator should be installed during 

September. 

“The indicator has been ordered, but it has 

not been delivered yet,” Mr Chamberlain 

said. 

“It will be installed on SH73 initially, but 

it can be moved to other locations. The 

western approach to West Melton is the 

second preferred site.” 

Installation of the indicator requires a 

ground socket to be installed at each site 

with the device and pole placed in the 

socket, Mr Chamberlain said. 

“The cost for the speed indicator is about 

$8000 supplied and installed, which is the 

same as the other speed indicator devices 

in the district,” he said. 

Chairman of the West Melton Residents 

Association, Jeff Waters, said the association 

had some discretionary funding available, 

which was being used for this purpose. 

The Selwyn District Council has speed 

indication devices installed throughout the 

district, Mr Chamberlain said. 

“Anecdotally and from observation, 

we have found that traffic slows down to 

close to or below the speed limit when the 

‘SLOW DOWN’ message is displayed. 

“Once the speed limit is reached, the 

actual speed of the vehicle is then displayed.”

Tapping into 

community 

resources 

Initiator of Community Awareness Support Selwyn (C.A.S.S.) Peter 

Stafford has always been interested in sustainable living, conservation, 

self-sufficiency and water quality. 

C.A.S.S. is a new initiative focusing on co-operative marketing, 

and an open door for promoting local products and innovations at 

a grassroots community level, connecting with cafe and car boot sale 

operations, Peter says. 

“I believe in the principle of the power of one to change things, 

but at the end of the day community living and sharing skills and 

resources has to be that ultimate goal,” Peter says. 

“Surviving and thriving off-grid is a very attractive principle to 

work towards,” he says. 

“There are many marketing opportunities to be explored in this arena 

as highlighted in the accompanying advertisement. Communication 

networking and co-operating with the local community may very 

well be our future lifeline. 

“Being an ex-farmer and understanding the principle of the 

number 8 wire and the forgotten home remedies, traditions and 

with an appreciation of the depth of knowledge available within the 

community I would like to tap into this valuable resource. 

“My worldview embraces the life and times of Jesus Christ and the 

golden rule ‘Do unto others’,” Peter says.

Family-run 

building firm 

offers skills 

& innovation 

Based in West Melton, Brewster Building 

is a local, family-run business whose 

mission is to add value for clients and 

provide a high standard of workmanship 

across every building project they 

undertake. 

Owner Dean Brewster, who grew up in the 

Selwyn District and established his building 

business in 2012, says collaboration is also 

a key aspect of his operation. 

“For us it’s about bringing together a lot 

of industry people – the sub-contractors, 

the professional services like architects and 

engineers, and combining their expertise 

with our knowledge, foresight and skills to 

make the process as smooth as possible for 

our clients.” 

Innovation is another important aspect 

of Brewster Building’s philosophy, and 

with demand for eco or ‘green’ homes 

continually growing, Dean and his team are 

applying their innovative ideas to this type 

of building design. 

“They bring a 

fresh perspective to 

the design process, 

but they also throw 

up some technical 

challenges, which 

we work through 

with the architects 

and engineers.” 

As technology 

develops and 

improves, products such as solar heating 

panels are becoming a lot more efficient 

and less expensive, so having that valuable 

energy-saving facility in your home 

becomes a lot more achievable, Dean says. 

Storing water to provide thermal mass 

is another innovative way of saving energy 

and using water more efficiently, and this 

can be incorporated into an eco home 

design, too. 

“It’s very enjoyable bringing out these 

different ideas to inspire our clients,” Dean 

says. 

“When clients approach us about having 

a home built, we like to get to know them 

and find out what they are looking for and 

how we can provide that. We also have 

contacts with a lot of product suppliers, tile 

companies for example, so we can put our 

clients in touch with them so they can see 

what’s available and what they like. 

“Having a home built can be a daunting 

process, so we break the process down into 

steps to make it run smoothly and have 

smiling, happy clients at the end of the 

process.” 

Check out their website,

M.bovis finds not 

a surprise to Feds 

Federated Farmers (Feds) was 

disappointed, but not surprised, to learn of 

three new finds of stock with Mycoplasma 

bovis. 

The affected properties confirmed by the 

Ministry for Primary Industries last week 

are all linked to Van Leeuwen Group farms 

where the cattle disease was first identified 

last month. 

“This latest identification is obviously 

disappointing but it was anticipated as the 

animals were traced back to the origin of 

the initial outbreak,” Federated Farmers 

biosecurity spokesperson Guy Wigley said. 

“It’s important to keep things in 

perspective and not unnecessarily increase 

anxiety levels amongst farmers. The reality 

is it exists in most countries and they 

manage it just fine with trade unaffected. 

“We know the frustration out there, but 

this is a complex bacterial infection which 

we have never encountered before here in 

New Zealand.” 

Mr Wigley said MPI was throwing 

significant resources at containing the 

disease and was remaining positive that it 

could be eradicated. 

“From what I understand, testing is 

rigorous, with the MPI animal health 

laboratory expecting to test more than 

39,000 samples in an extensive surveillance 

programme over the next three months.” 

Feds is supporting MPI’s efforts to 

communicate with farmers, providing 

information via fact sheets, websites and 

public meetings. 

“Affected farmers are being informed on 

a regular basis about sample results. The 

fact is, it’s going to take several months to 

ascertain a definitive result,” Mr Wigley 

said. 

Feds has heard talk among farmers who 

are concerned about MPI’s inability to 

identify affected properties, because of the 

Privacy Act. 

“Apart from the obligations under the 

law, this is not the time to incriminate other 

farmers who may be in a stressful state,” Mr 

Wigley said. 

“MPI is doing what it is obligated to do, 

and that is to acknowledge the privacy rights 

of those farmers who have bovis identified 

in their herds. It’s not a question of secrecy 

– it’s about protecting individual farmers 

and their businesses from unwelcome and 

unhelpful publicity.” 

Farmers are advised to stay vigilant and 

report immediately to their vet any signs in 

their cattle of mastitis that doesn’t respond 

to treatment, pneumonia, arthritis and lateterm 

abortions. 

“We all need to stay together if we are to 

tackle this nasty cattle disease. That way, we 

have a chance to eliminate it. 

“The industry as a whole is working with 

MPI and farmers themselves can do their 

bit, by practising best farm biosecurity 

measures through good hygiene and 

cleaning equipment and making sure you 

maintain separation between neighbouring 

herds,” Mr Wigley said.

SELWYN RURAL LIFE 

Event marks first steps 

in building joint facility 

The facility, scheduled for practical completion in 2020, will 

accommodate 700 scientists and students who will work and learn in 

a new, shared environment, to produce innovations for New Zealand’s 

primary industries and help grow the New Zealand economy. 

The start of work on a world-class $206 

million joint facility to house AgResearch 

and Lincoln University researchers, 

students and staff is being viewed as an 

important step forward for agriculture, 

science and education in New Zealand. 

The facility, scheduled for practical 

completion in 2020, will accommodate 

700 scientists and students who will work 

and learn in a new, shared environment, 

to produce innovations for New Zealand’s 

primary industries and help grow the New 

Zealand economy. 

The facility will be jointly owned by 

AgResearch and the university and 

DairyNZ will be a tenant. 

Leaders from AgResearch and Lincoln 

University were joined by Minister of 

Tertiary Education, Skills and Employment, 

and Minister for Science and Innovation, 

Paul Goldsmith in marking the early work 

being underway on the site of the new 

facility on August 22. 

Speaking at the event, AgResearch chief 

executive Tom Richardson said: “There’s 

been a lot of work done to get to this point 

of having a spade in the ground, and the 

site now being prepared for the 27,000 

square metre building. 

“It’s now very much a reality, and I 

think there is a real sense of anticipation 

that we are going to have a facility that is 

something quite special, and that the new 

way of working together is going to make a 

real difference where it comes to the results 

we produce to support the land-based 

industries.” 

Lincoln University Chancellor Steve 

Smith called it a historic day. 

“Lincoln’s future in the national tertiary 

system and its national and international 

standing will be defined by what happens 

within the walls of these buildings that 

will become the first physical home for the 

Lincoln Hub. 

“The opportunity for Lincoln University 

– one which we intend to seize – is to 

unleash the potential inherent in having 

our teachers and students working 

alongside and partnering with the leadingedge 

scientists from AgResearch, other 

CRIs and industry. 

“The real power in learning and 

research comes from proximity: human 

relationships, being in the same space, 

chance conversations and the synergies 

observed between different academic and 

scientific disciplines,” Mr Smith said. 

Minister Goldsmith was also joined by 

representatives from Lincoln University 

and AgResearch at the event in signing a 

scroll to be placed in a time capsule, which 

will eventually be incorporated into the 

site. 

Selwyn MP Amy Adams and Selwyn 

Mayor Sam Broughton also attended the 

event.

Gardening 

SELWYN TIMES 

Spring is a busy season 

GET PLANTING: Prepare the flower beds for 

summer colour and get in plants that transcend 

the seasons. 

IT’S TIME for gardeners to 

celebrate. 

Temperatures are on 

the rise, producing signs 

of spring throughout the 

garden. 

September can be a wet 

and windy month so ensure 

you still protect plants 

where need be. It’s a busy 

but very enjoyable time, 

with colour and scents 

slowly coming back into the 

garden. 

Final harvesting and 

removal of winter maturing 

vegetables gives plenty 

of material for the compost 

bin. By staggering planting 

times, hopefully these vegetables 

have supplied you 

with continuous supplies 

over winter. 

Where conditions allow, 

ie soil not too wet and 

temperatures rising in your 

area, you can plant the hardier 

vegetables for summer 

harvesting. Remember the 

more traditional summer 

vegetables will be planted 

next month. 

Those veges can include; 

asparagus, beetroot, cabbage, 

cauliflower, carrots, 

onion, radish, silverbeet and 

spinach. Improve existing 

vege plots with plenty of 

compost before planting 

the new seasons vegetables. 

Keep a wary eye for slugs 

and snails as they emerge 

when temperatures increase. 

Time for preparing your 

summer flowering garden. 

Winter annuals are now 

coming to an end of their 

flowering. While it’s still 

a little early for planting traditional 

summer annuals, 

there are some that ‘transcend’ 

the typical growing 

seasons and are very useful 

GERMINATE: Seedlings 

should be ready for 

transplanting into the 

garden in six to eight 

weeks. 

at this time of year. 

These include alyssum, 

calendulas, cornflower, 

lobelia, pansies and violas. 

If you wish to grow your 

own summer flowering annuals, 

seed should be sown 

now either in a glasshouse 

or in a warm, north facing 

enclosed patio. 

Sow and water regularly 

to ensure even germination. 

Seedlings should be ready 

for transplanting into the 

garden six to eight weeks 

after sowing. 

Carefully mark the 

position of your winter and 

spring flowering bulbs as 

you may wish to grow other 

plants in the same area over 

summer months. 

Where the bulbs have 

performed well, allow them 

to naturalise where they are 

growing. This applies especially 

to crocus, freesias, 

hyacinths, iris, lachenalias, 

muscari, narcissus, and 

watsonias. 

Stone fruit such as apricots, 

cherries, nectarines, 

peaches and plums are all in 

bloom now, as are pip fruit 

such as apples and pears. 

Hopefully, weather conditions 

allow for pollination 

by bees. Last year’s heavy 

rainfall had a major impact 

on pollination. 

Rose growth is finally 

under way. Spring/early 

summer is the best time 

for roses with masses of 

blooms and plants usually 

disease free. The addition 

of compost around the base 

of existing plants is beneficial 

for plant health. Start 

feeding roses from October 

onwards with fertiliser. 

Cut lawns regularly in 

early spring, avoiding close 

mowing initially. First lawn 

fertiliser can be applied 

in late September/early 

October. 

Hold your 

shovels! 

With the sun making an appearance for longer 

through the day, we definitely get the feeling that 

the spring weather is almost here. With this being 

said, we can still get some late frosts and nasty 

weather through the beginning of September, so 

hold onto your shovels and refrain from planting 

seedlings just yet. There are still plenty of things 

you can do before you plant out. Preparing your 

soil is very important. If you want to grow good 

veggies, you need to put them in good growing 

mix. For existing gardens that need a boost, add 

in our Organic Compost. If you are establishing 

a new garden, look to our Garden Soil Mix, or 

Veggie Garden Mix, depending on what you are 

planting. If you are unsure of what products you 

need, check out our website www.igro.co.nz or

SELWYN TIMES 

ADVERTORIAL 

South Point at Faringdon is 

proving a popular place to visit for 

the people of Rolleston and those 

further afield. With its boutique 

shops and restaurants as well as a 

convenience store and dance school 

this is really becoming a favourite 

place to visit for the people of 

Rolleston. 

Selwyn School of Dance 

The Selwyn School of Dance is 

gearing up for a busy few weeks 

with a dance recital as well as Royal 

Academy of Dance ballet exams to 

be held shortly. 

This year’s production, The 

Golden Ticket, involves about 140 

children from the Contemporary, 

Hip Hop, Jazz, Musical Theatre

be a vibrant and lively display and 

showcase the wonderful energy, 

work and skills these children have 

gained through their classes.

A Pocket Full of Spices 

This wonderful Indian restaurant 

is now open and satisfying locals 

with five star food and equivalent 

service. 

At A Pocket Full of Spices the 

spices they use enhance the natural, 

organic essence of the food creating 

perfect combinations to delight your 

tastebuds. 

They promise the food, the 

ambience, the service together with 

the smiles will make for the ultimate 

dining pleasure, the like of which 

you will not find anywhere else. 

Owner Sandeep is proud of 

the reputation he has built at his 

Rangiora curry house – in fact it is 

ranked number 1 restaurant out of 

41 in Rangiora on Trip Advisor. 

“We really want to deliver the 

same for everyone in Rolleston with 

quality food and the best service for 

our customers.” 

Hooked Fish & Chips 

A lot of things have changed 

at Hooked Fish and Chips. Fully 

qualified chef Ben has now bought 

the business and has changed the 

style of fish and chips – also making 

it more cost effective for families. 

“We are now offering fish and 

chips the old school way we all love 

to eat them. The sort you used to get 

30 years ago – where the fish is fresh 

and battered in store so you get your 

favourite takeaway that has had a bit 

more love and attention.” 

Here you will find deep sea 

cod and hoki as the staples with a 

variety of other fish when available 

including snapper and groper. There 

are also burgers made with proper 

flavours and four different chip 

varieties to choose from. For those 

with a sweet tooth there are even 

desserts. 

The business is also offering 

catering options for businesses or 

parties. So if you would like your 

event or business lunch catered for 

Ben is only too happy to help. 

There are also great services and 

retail options with Hair 4 Men 

barber shop, New Order fashion 

boutique, The Pedal Pusher and the 

Faringdon Convenience Store all 

located at South Point so make sure 

you make the time to visit.

Keeping 

safe during 

open homes 

Selling a home can be a stressful process, so it 

makes sense to minimise any hassles wherever 

possible. If you’ve taken all the sensible 

precautions, you shouldn’t need to worry about 

holding an open home. 

There’s a lot to consider when putting 

your home on show during the selling 

process. While you want your property 

to look attractive to potential buyers, 

you don’t want them to advertise your 

precious belongings to anyone with ill 

intent. As in most circumstances, a bit of 

common sense goes a long way. 

To start with, you should feel completely 

confident about your real estate agent. 

Licensed real estate agents are bound by 

the Code of Conduct, which means they 

have a clear responsibility to safeguard 

your property. If you have any concerns 

about holding open homes, or having 

viewings of your property, it’s important 

to discuss these with the agent so you can 

both feel comfortable. They can advise 

you on any precautions to take as part of 

preparing the property for sale. 

When you’re getting ready to put the 

property on the market, the New Zealand 

Police National Crime Prevention 

Centre recommends checking with your 

insurance provider so you know what 

your policy covers. Make sure you have 

enough insurance to cover any potential 

property damage, or any valuables. Let 

trusted neighbours know the dates of any 

upcoming open homes or viewings, and 

ask them to keep an eye out for anything 

unusual. 

The Police also suggest that you store 

any valuables well out of sight before you 

hold your first open home, or make the 

property available for viewing. The most 

commonly stolen items include money, 

jewellery, office equipment, clothing, 

electronics, and firearms. Photograph 

and record serial numbers (these can 

also be uploaded to the SNAP website: 

www.snap.org.nz). 

It can be helpful to make a checklist to 

streamline the process and ensure you 

don’t overlook anything. It’s a good idea 

to hide your calendars – open home 

viewers don’t need to know when you 

plan to be away, or where you’re planning 

to go. Put away family photos, and lock 

away any passports, spare keys, financial 

statements and credit cards. Store any 

alcohol and prescription drugs out of 

sight and preferably out of the reach of 

children. 

On the day of the open home, it is best 

to wait at the property until the agent 

arrives so you can officially pass the 

security responsibility to them. Be sure 

to walk the agent through the property 

and orient them as needed. Ask them if 

you can help them close up at the end of 

the open home. Together you can check 

the property, including any storage areas 

and outside spaces. Double check all the 

locks on windows and doors to make sure 

they are secured as they were before the 

viewing started. 

Selling a home can be a stressful process, 

so it makes sense to minimise any hassles 

wherever possible. If you’ve taken all the 

sensible precautions, you shouldn’t need 

to worry about holding an open home.

Kitchen Pantries 

Many people enjoy having one as it offers more accessible storage and a place 

out of the way to prepare food, hide the mess and even do the washing up. 

A standard in many homes, pantries 

disappeared out of kitchens for a time. 

More recently, they have made a comeback 

and are now almost a standard fixture in 

new house designs. 

The options for pantries range from 

large corner units produced by a kitchen 

manufacturer to walk-in pantries that are 

a room within the home, usually located 

behind or at one end of a kitchen. 

A walk-in pantry is a room that is of 

sufficient size for a person to comfortably 

walk around. 

Also known as a larder, a pantry’s main 

purpose is storage for food, beverages and 

cooking condiments. Crockery, linen and 

even household cleaning products, which 

were traditionally stored in a butler’s 

pantry may now be kept there. 

In the United States, the pantry might 

also be a small entryway with an exterior 

door. 

Butler’s or serving pantries were 

historically located between the kitchen 

and dining room in middle class homes. 

Today, a butler’s pantry may have benches, 

sinks and kitchen appliances such as 

dishwasher and refrigerator. 

While storage is the main purpose of 

a pantry, a scullery was a place for food 

preparation and washing dishes, pots 

and other items. It may have doubled as a 

laundry in some houses. 

With open plan living, there has been 

a shift from the kitchen as the main work 

area towards pantries being mini-kitchens 

with a sink and kitchen appliances. 

A walk-in or butler’s pantry offers a 

number of advantages: 

• an out-of-the-way place to prep and hide 

the mess from food preparation, dirty 

dishes or other items. 

• a place to store those accumulated 

kitchen appliances. 

• it can be permanently set up for breakfast 

with toaster, jug and tray of spreads at the 

ready. 

• saves the kitchen island for family 

gathering, eating and reading. 

• allows the kitchen to become a social 

gathering area. 

• converts the kitchen from a workroom 

into a living area with book shelves, 

seating areas and a more decorative layout. 

• can save on cabinetry if only shelving 

is installed in the pantry with less in the 

kitchen. 

• locating the dishwasher there can cut 

noise in the living area. 

The negatives of a pantry include: 

• higher building costs as it increases the 

square metres as well as another wall, door 

and potentially more shelving, cupboards 

and sinks. 

• it is another area to clean. 

• the room could be dark if no window. 

• if preparation is carried out in the pantry, 

the person is shut away from the family. 

While the major drawback of including 

a pantry is the added building costs, many 

people enjoy having one as it offers more 

accessible storage and a place out of the 

way to prepare food, hide the mess and 

even do the washing up. 

Appliances are often located 

in pantries today. 

Kitchens are less a workroom and more a living space. 

Pantries without a window 

can be dark. 

Pantries with only shelving can 

save on cabinetry.
