Firefighter’s helmet coughs up cash
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
LOOSE CHANGE from
generous patrons stopping by
at a hotel in Lincoln has raised
more than $2000 for the town’s
fire brigade.
The Lincoln Volunteer Fire
Brigade broke open a helmet
of cash on Sunday, after it had
been sitting at the bar of The
Famous Grouse Hotel for about
18 months.
The $2040 will go towards
equipment needed by the
brigade.
Station officer Steve McLennan
said he would like to thank the
patrons at the hotel for their
generosity.
Mr McLennan said while the
brigade gets funding from Fire
and Emergency New Zealand
there is always something extra
needed in the community.
The brigade has another
helmet at the Tai Tapu Hotel
and is hoping to set up others at
The Laboratory and Springston
Hotel.
The Famous Grouse Hotel
manager Will Stock said it
is good how much has been
contributed and will have the
helmet ready to collect further
donations.
“The guys do a good job so it
is good to be able to give back,”
he said.
Pool at
Prebbleton
School
to be
demolished
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
PREBBLETON IS about to lose its
community swimming pool.
The pool, at Prebbleton School,
is to be demolished to make way
for four modern classrooms.
A date has not been set for the
pool’s demolition.
The redevelopment will cater for
the school’s rapidly growing roll,
which is expected to reach 600 by
2019.
The Ministry of Education is
working with the school on a
masterplan for its redevelopment.
The new teaching spaces are
scheduled to be complete in 2019
and will cost about $2 million.
The unheated pool, which only
operates in the summer, is owned
by the MoE.
The pool has not been used by
the school since 2005 because
it was deemed too small for the
growing roll and unsuitable for
taking a classroom for swimming
lessons.
At the time, a public meeting
was called by Deputy Mayor
Malcolm Lyall to create a pool
committee which set about painting,
tidying and operating it.
Mr Lyall said the committee
and the district council managed
to lease the pool off the MoE for
another 12 years.

Ratepayers’ association
fired up over cost of Weedons pavilion
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
THE DEBATE over how the new
community pavilion at Weedons
Reserve is funded has fired up
again.
The Weedons Residents’
Association committee is
concerned ratepayers are bearing
the brunt of the cost of a facility
they may not get any use out of.
A budget of about $800,000 is
estimated for the new pavilion,
with discussions ongoing for the
last eight years.
Weedons ratepayers are
currently paying $14 per year
towards the new pavilion and
$80 towards the recreation
reserve fee.
Committee secretary Gary
Doyle said ratepayers were
initially paying $54 per year
until he argued against it and the
amount was reduced to $14.
In the past it has been an
issue, with Mr Doyle previously
making a deputation to the
district council alleging the
Weedons Reserve Committee,
which is behind the plan, is
dominated by sports players.
But at the time, the reserve
committee’s chairman Peter
Holmes said the reserve
was well-represented by the

community.
Mr Doyle told Selwyn Times
last week it wants to build a
cricket club building rather than
a community facility.
But Mr Holmes said this
was not the case and the whole
idea is for it to be a community
building.
The district council’s major
projects property manager
John Reid said discussions
over contributions made by the
user groups of the domain are
ongoing. He said while designs
are not complete, the building
will include a lounge, a small
kitchen, two dressing rooms and
some public toilet facilities.
The issue has flared up again
after information under the
Local Government Official
Information Act revealed the
Weedons Tennis Club had made
no contribution towards the cost
of shifting as part of the reserve’s
development.
The tennis courts have been

moved and realigned to allow
for a larger cricket oval for the
Weedons Cricket Club as part
of the community pavilion
redevelopment.
Information from the district
council’s corporate services
manager Greg Bell said the
tennis court upgrade cost
$162,601 plus GST and 65 per
cent of this is estimated to have
come from ratepayers.
Mr Holmes said the tennis
club has put at least $2000
towards the courts upgrade.
Tennis Club secretary Julie
Cockburn said there is a high
chance the tennis club will have
to put funding into the overall
upgrade because of a shortfall.
Sponsorship has also been
made by various companies.
“I am not too sure why
residents would be upset about
trying to upgrade a facility
right next to them . . . it gives
Weedons an identity rather than
being part of Rolleston,” she said.

SELWYN TIMES
Carla Weber
Stage is set for actress and
Carla Weber of Rolleston lives and breathes
musical theatre. She directed the Halswell Drama
Group’s successful production of The Wedding
Singer, which finished on Saturday. She spoke to
Georgia O’Connor-Harding
Was The Wedding Singer the
first show you directed?
No, I directed Nunsense for
the drama group as well. Last
year was the first time doing it
by myself as the only director.
Two or three years prior to that
it was a joint effort with one
or two other members of the
group. We decided last year to
try something different and I put
my hand up and said I will direct
and here I am.
Have you been involved in the
Halswell Drama Group for a
long time?
My first year was back in 2007
when I was new to the group and
I got a lead role for Last Gasp at
the Parched Throat Saloon and I
was the head cancan dancer Miss
Candy. I did have two or three
years off because I was busy with
family life. I became president in
2014. It has all kind of started to
grow.
Were you always interested in
the arts?
I go way back. My parents were
into shows. I can’t remember
my dad being on stage but I
remember seeing my mum in the
orchestra pit way down in Gore.
I think I went to my first show
when I was about five or six and
I knew sitting there, watching it
and going “that is so cool,” I had
to do something like that. I have
always loved doing plays and
my first big real show was Joseph
and the Amazing Technicolor
Dreamcoat back when I was a
teenager. I was with the then
Gore Operatic Society. They have
been going since about 1967 if
not before.
Did you grow up in Gore?
I did grow up in Gore. I lived
on a farm. I never went to a
high school in Gore. I went
to Menzies College down in
Wyndham. It was a rural high
school for year 7 to 13. My father
always used to say I was a towney
born in the countryside by
mistake. I enjoyed being around
people more than the animals
and the farm, so I tended to be

between being on stage playing
the piano, keyboard or flute.
Have you played instruments
up here in Canterbury?
I have been teaching piano up
here for a few years – piano and
flute. I also played in the Canterbury
Philharmonia and
in the orchestra for Kirwee
Players. But since I have got my
wee boy Sam, I am a full time
mum at the moment. I don’t
have time to do much in the day
which is why I tend to do theatre
at night.
What do you think of the arts
in Selwyn?
I think personally to have a
drama group or a musical
theatre group in Rolleston would
be amazing. In the Halswell
Drama Group, there are people
who come from Leeston,
Lincoln, Rolleston, West Melton.
There is nothing in Rolleston so
to speak. If something happened
here I think it would be wellreceived.
What has it been like putting
The Wedding Singer together?
I live and breathe it pretty
much. Planning is high on the
list, creativity and with the
support of many others. It does
take a village to put on the show.
That is the joy of community
theatre.

Would The Wedding Singer
be one of your favorite shows
you have been involved in?
That is a really tricky question.
There are so many shows,
there is so much you don’t know
about a show and it is not until
you get into it you learn to love
it. At the moment this is my favourite
but next year depending
on what we might do, that might
be my favourite. You put so
much effort into it and then you
get it to the stage and go wow all
that work was worth it. It is is a
good feeling knowing audiences
are enjoying it.
Did you ever work in another
industry or have you always
been involved in the arts?
I worked in retail. I started
working in a music shop and I
sold musical instruments, records,
tapes and CDs – way back
in the day. I did a bit of a stint in
furniture and a stint in a hardware
store but once I moved to
Rolleston in 2004, I did a bit of
music teaching as well.
What do you think of the
Rolleston community?
It is so different compared to
when I first got here. When I
first arrived there was only one
primary school, one supermarket
and literally within the first
two years of my girls going to
GIFTED: Carla Weber has a
passion for playing various

PHOTO:
GILBERT WEALLEANS
Rolleston School the numbers
literally almost doubled in a
couple of years.
With the township growing
are there any new facilities you
would like to see put in place?
Obviously a performing arts
centre. That would be really
good. Then we can get touring
people to come in. We have
got opportunities local groups
might use in some form or
another. I think within in the
last couple of years, with Selwyn
arts coming to the floor more, I
think it would be well received.
There are so many people out
in Rolleston now. Sometimes
people don’t want to travel 30-
40min to do something, they
want it on their doorstep.
Tell me about your children?
I remarried four or five years
ago. I have got my two girls
from the previous marriage and
from the next marriage I have
one son. One of my daughters –
Nikita – is very much into theatre
she is in The Wedding Singer
and has been in the Halswell
Drama Group for the last four to
five shows. She plays a lot of instruments.
She loves it so much
and my husband Darren has
been the musical director for the
past few shows for the Kirwee
Players and was in he band for
The Wedding Singer. My husband
is in a cover band called
General Admission. He is head
of music department at Lincoln
High School. My other daughter
Brittany loves playing the guitar
and she has done many years
of dance. More recently in the
last few years guitar has become
more of a focus for her. I am
sure little Sam will grow up doing
a bit of music stuff.
School pool to be demolished
•From page 1
“I always thought with the
growing roll of the school one day
the MoE will come knocking and
say we want land to put another
building on . . . unfortunately that
day has come.”
Principal Kim Alexander said
the pool wasn’t suitable for swimming
lessons because it was deep
in the middle and designed like a
diving pool.
She said the board of trustees
supported MoE’s decision to
remove it because the space could
be maximised.
The decision has also been supported
by the district council.
District council’s community
relations manager Denise Kidd
said while the district council is
in the process of reviewing its
aquatic facilities plan, it was not
contemplating a replacement pool
for Prebbleton.
“The plan indicates that the
demand from Prebbleton can

be met through the planned
expansion of the Selwyn Aquatic
Centre,” she said.
But Prebbleton resident Stephanie
Broomhall said she was
concerned the community was
not consulted on the closure.
She is one of several Prebbleton
residents who want the pool to
stay open.
“My kids get such enjoyment
in the summer going down to the
pool and having a swim. They get
to meet with people in the community
. . . that alone, for me, that
pool is worth keeping.”
But MoE head of education
infrastructure services Kim
Shannon said it was not required
to consult for the demolition of
a Ministry-owned asset, just the
school.

Call for slower speed in Kirwee
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
KIRWEE’S CHIEF fire officer
wants urgent action taken on an
intersection he says is a death
trap.
Stuart Jones is calling for the
speed limit on State Highway
73 within the Kirwee township
to be lowered from 70km/h to
50km/h to improve safety at the
Courtenay Rd intersection.
“I have been there 40 years
and there have been numerous
accidents. Nobody has been
killed there but they are about
to be,” Mr Jones said.
It comes after a boom in traffic
over the past six years, with
the average number of vehicles
travelling through Kirwee increasing
by about 1700 per day.
New Zealand Transport
Agency data shows the average
daily traffic count on State
Highway 73 south of Kirwee
had grown from 3909 in 2011 to
5626 in 2016.
But changes to the speed
limits are unlikely.
NZTA senior traffic and safety
engineer David Scarlet said
the numbers recorded indicated
few crashes at the intersection
and consequently little need for
intervention.
In the past six years NZTA
recorded six minor and non-injury
crashes at the intersection.
But Mr Jones said there had
been about four accidents in the
past 12 months.
One concern he had was vehicles
travelling into the township
not slowing down until they
passed the 70km/h speed signs
located on the outskirts of
Kirwee.
“We have got cars coming in
easily doing 100km/h at that
intersection,” he said.
But Darfield Police senior
constable David Pitkethley said
people are not stopping at stop
signs which is the main issue.
“We get that at just about any
intersection really, people don’t
stop,” he said.
But Mr Pitkethley
said to have the speed
limits lowered would
be a bonus as there
wouldn’t be as many issues
at the intersection.
Mr Jones said the
whole area is congested
in peak times.
“School times we have got
buses stopping there, the whole
nine yards. People are trying to
pull out and there are kids for
Africa,” he said.
Kirwee Model School acting
Bob Norrish
DANGEROUS:
Kirwee’s chief
fire officer is
calling for the
speed limit to
be lowered on
State Highway
73 within the
township.
principal Bob Norrish said
while there isn’t much congestion
around the school
located on School Lane,
some of his staff had
mentioned it is difficult
to drive out onto State
Highway 73.
“I think consideration
of 50km/h through there
would be worthwhile,”
he said.

“We have allowed space for our

that means we can offer a logistics

Big turnout
for water
seminars
MORE THAN 1000 people have
attended a attended a seminar
series held to address waterrelated
issues in the district.
The series was established
to reduce tensions between
Environment Canterbury and
residents over how water issues
in the Selwyn-Waihora catchment
are managed.
The Selwyn Waihora Water
Zone Committee reported last
week that its concluded seminar
series at Lincoln University had
attracted at least 1000 people
and that it would be examining
feedback received to inform future
water-related strategies and
programmes.
The series addressed issues
including the state of water quality
and quantity, and the impact
of land-use intensification in the
district.
Between 70 and 130 people attended
each session (the seminar
ran twice each day), with some
travelling from as far afield as
Ashburton.
Selwyn Waihora Water Zone
Committee Chair Allen Lim said
he felt very positive about the
experience and looked forward
to considering all the feedback
received.
Adams thrilled with easy win
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
and Bridget Rutherford
AMY ADAMS reaffirmed her
dominance in Saturday’s general
election, securing the Selwyn
seat for the fourth straight term.
The West Melton resident,
who is no 7 on National’s list,
won the seat with a 17,625
majority over Labour’s Tony
Condon.
She secured
66 per cent of
the electorate’s
candidate votes.
“I am thrilled,
effectively it is
about two-thirds
of all votes cast.
Tony Condon
It is an incredible
privilege
to get that level of support. It is a
real message that the community
is pleased with the way I represented
them,” she said.
Ms Adams secured 25,320
votes, while Mr Condon received
7695.
She had the second largest
majority in the country, after
National’s Mark Mitchell who
won the Rodney electorate with
17,678.
“I don’t worry myself too
much about it. What is important
to me is my community has
given me a strong mandate to
continue as their representative
and that is something I take very
seriously.”
Ms Adams has held the traditionally
blue seat since 2008.
Her majority decreased from
20,561 in the 2014 election.
But she said that was not a
reflection on her campaign.
“My votes have actually stayed
very consistent . . . it is more of a
sign of Labour running a better
campaign than what they did
last time,” Ms Adams said.
National secured 60 per cent
of the party vote in Selwyn,
compared with 63 per cent in
2014. Labour increased its party
vote to 25.5 per cent this year,
from 12.9 per cent in 2014.
Mr Condon said he was pleased
he was able to boost Labour’s
party vote in the electorate.
He said because Selwyn had
always been a blue electorate,
it wasn’t a seat many people
wanted to put their hands up
for, but he was happy with his
campaign.
“I thought we did really well.”
Mr Condon said he would
run again in the 2020 general
election and will look to start
campaigning again in about two
months.

Clare reilly - DanCe of life
In Clare Reilly’s new exhibition, ‘Dance of Life’ she expresses the resilience and tenacity to keep finding
joy and beauty in the natural surroundings. Especially in the hard times, when confronted by the big
challenges in life, that we must all pass through at some stage.
There are events, such as the death of a loved one, that can turn our lives upside down. Finding strength
in nature can help us to stay connected and grounded and bring a sense of being part of the dance of life.
These paintings are meditations on the quiet moments, where we can
step away from everyday stress and become fully present and find a
sense of peace.
They are an invitation to breathe in the moment and dance with life.

People who travel on
Halswell Junction Rd say
their morning commute
has been halved since the
new traffic signals were
installed
You said:
Genny Cameron – Really?
Didn’t halve my time on Tuesday,
it was backed up to Marshs Rd as
per normal. First couple of days
were great.
Deb Flanagan – So can we
now have lights for Kirk Rd to
enable access in the morning to
the main highway?
Inundated with a steady neverending
flow of traffic flooding in
from Rolleston.
Another three years until new
motorway extension happens
and two deaths already this year.
Jenny Sutherland – Except
when the lights cause a backlog
into the roundabout coming off
the motorway. Can’t win some
days.

You said:
Veronica Robinson –
Shouldn’t have been dumped.
However, they couldn’t have
been left with anyone kinder
than Cheryl. Lucky roosters.
Christopher Wayne – I’ll
sort your problem out Cheryl.
A few roast potatoes and some
good gravy. Problem solved.
Probably even get some sandwiches
out of them.
Kathryn Macgregor
– Maybe she shouldn’t moan and
if she’s a chook-lover welcome
them and think they’re in a better
place now. I’ve rescued the
odd pet – they cost me an arm
and leg but they’re happier here.
Lyndsey Anselmi – Why
would someone want six extra
crowing roosters? Why shouldn’t
she be annoyed? I am an animal
lover too but don’t expect others
to dump their animals on me
because they’re too lazy to get rid
of them properly.

But wait, I can hear the
ranks of the righteous
screaming ‘but it’s the
demon alcohol and that
makes it different’. Yes,
alcohol is different, it’s the
‘legal’ drug of choice for
the masses.
More of the population
enjoy consuming it in some
form or other responsibly
than don’t, and we hear
about the don’t often
enough.
Interestingly, if you look
at the statistics on alcohol
consumption on average, it
has been steadily declining
for years.
Which brings me to my
point. If there isn’t enough
room for another alcohol
outlet then surely they
simply won’t survive in the
market place, with their
demise hastened by the
residents of Lincoln who
don’t want it there simply
not frequenting that store?
But again, that’s not how
society seems to work these
days, we must be protected
from ourselves by people
with degrees in something,
or just plain busybodies
who know what’s best for
us.
Put sanctions on those
who abuse alcohol and
leave the rest of us to enjoy
life, with a tipple or two if
we so choose.
A resident responds
to a Selwyn Times
article about a bus
service between
Leeston and
Christchurch
Sue Walders – Seeing
the article on the need for
a service to Leeston I wish
them luck. I saw a small
red bus in Lyttelton last
weekend which could be
ideal for a smaller number
of patrons. That may be all
that Leeston needs. I have
been writing to the powers
that be about our service in
Prebbleton.
I accept that we only have
one route, but since the
change at the last review,
we are no longer able to
get to Church Corner.
Many people in Prebbleton
(and maybe Lincoln) have
doctors, dentists and banks
there. I was told that the
change was to cut traffic
congestion in Riccarton.
Our bus actually rejoins
Riccarton Rd at Wharenui
Rd so passes Westfield
Riccarton where the
maximum traffic passes. I
would like the route to pass
The Hub Hornby and/or
Church Corner, which are
the two nearest shopping
malls. There are more buses
from Hornby so I suggested
one of those could be
diverted to the Blenheim
Rd section as they have a
choice we do not.
It is very hard to find out
when the next review of
routes will be so residents
can have the chance to have
their say.

Native plant art on show
PAINTINGS AND drawings
of native plants will star in
Darfield’s Selwyn Gallery from
tomorrow.
The exhibition is part of a
larger body of work called the
Canterbury Plains Florilegium,
an illustrated record of indigenous
plants.
In modern terms the word
florilegium means a collection of
botanically correct illustrations
of plants-in this case from Riccarton
Bush and the Canterbury
Plains.
The national significance of
Riccarton Bush makes this exhibition
important because it is the
sole remnant of Kahikatea flood
plain forest in Canterbury.
Malvern Community Arts
Council chairman Philip Baldwin
said part of its interest in this
exhibit is botanical art can act
as the interface between art and
science.
“It gives viewers an aesthetic
experience and also educates
them about the botanical subjects
on display,” he said.
The art works on exhibit were
created by members of the Botanical
Art Society of NZ from
2010 to 2013.
The exhibition was created to
help celebrate the 150th birthday
of the Christchurch Botanic
Gardens.
BEAUTY: A rhododendron
painted by Irene Blair will be
on display at Darfield’s Selwyn
Gallery.
The aim of the not-for-profit
Botanical Art Society of New
Zealand is to “foster and promote
botanical art and to stimulate
interest in plants, conservation,
horticulture, and the natural
environment.”
The NZ membership ranges
from full-time practising artists
through to passionate amateurs.
Selwyn Gallery will be open
daily (except Mondays) from
10am to 4pm for the duration of
this show.

Build your next home
with Artisan Homes
Your local registered Master Builder
Home building is as much about understanding the
landscape and the client as it is the plan and the
materials. From our office in Rolleston, Canterbury our
small company has built a huge range of homes that are
distinctive, stylish, durable and cost-effective.
From clever, compact homes to three bedroom townhouses
to large scale, expansive country style homes, our work
spans all types of house building.
Since 2004 we have carefully built, among other things, a
reputation for constructing high quality houses.
An artisan is someone who is highly skilled in a particular
expertise, a hands-on craftsman – someone who is
passionate about the quality results they produce.
With decades in the business the team at Artisian Homes
have worked in all areas of residential construction. There
are obvious differences between building a two-bedroom
home compared to a six bedroom one. Irrespective, our
overall approach remains the same.
While we have a sound reputation for carefully crafted
home building we also are renowned for getting the right
result no matter what the challenge. Building with difficult
access, looming timelines or tight budgets is just a fact of
life for us. All our tradespeople are qualified and registered
or licensed. Our abilities to design and build a range of
houses have increased over the years, as has our skill and
overall capacity. While we don’t have the franchises of our
larger competitors we do have their networks and buying
power. Which means our clients receive the most costeffective
results possible.
At Artisan Homes, our passion is building homes for
people who appreciate the work that goes into what will,
ultimately, be a home they love to live in.

AVOID: Nearly 75 per cent of the district’s residents acknowledge the high risk
involved in texting while driving.
Risk of texting and
driving acknowledged
NEARLY 75 per cent
of Selwyn residents
acknowledge the high risk
involved in texting while
driving – when drivers
focus on their phone,
they’re not focused on the
road.
THat’s one of the
findings of a recent
survey carried out by the
district council, which is
getting on board with the
nationwide Drive Phone
Free campaign.
The campaign aims to
increase driver awareness
that talking on the phone,
texting or even checking
a hand-held mobile phone
while driving puts them
and other road users at
risk.
The survey also found
more than 50 per cent of
people knew when the
cellphone law came into
legislation.
The same amount knew
what the penalty for using
a hand-held cellphone
while driving was.
The district council’s
road safety co-ordinator
Ngaire Tinning said it’s
not just ourselves we have
to think about when driving.
“We can all do our part
in increasing road safety
by not using phones in
any way when driving, but
we should also encourage
others to do the same,” she
said.
In November 2009 a law
was introduced making
it illegal to use hand-held
mobile phones while driving.
This includes making,
receiving or terminating
a phone call, creating,
sending or even reading a
text or email and creating,
sending or viewing a video
message.
Hands-free devices are
often considered as a solution
to minimise the risk
of driver distraction.
A district council media
release said while handsfree
devices decrease
visual risk (taking drivers
off the road), it does not
minimise cognitive distraction
meaning drivers’
minds are not focused on
the road.
The district council is
asking residents to keep an
eye on its Facebook page
over the next month for
weekly posts and prizes to
be won to encourage drivers
to drive phone-free.
Residents can also pick
up their free cellphone
screen cleaner from
council library and service
centres or from rural
garages.

Little mistakes cost Country under-18s
• By Andrew King
THE DEFENSIVE handbook
was thrown out the window as
Canterbury Country under-18
lost 46-31 to Tasman under-18 in
West Melton on Saturday.
Country coach Glen Dunseath
said little mistakes crept into
their game, which let them down.
“The simple fact was that both
sides didn’t deal with the restart
well in the first half. We would
knock on, then they would score,
then they would knock on and
we would score,” he said.
With 15min to go in the match,
Country were well in the game,
but a couple of tries at the end
blew the score out, Dunseath
said.
“Look, Tasman are a quality
side. They have three really high
performing teams in the UC
Championship and it shows, “
Dunseath said.
Country have a bye in
the South Island under-18
competition this weekend, but
will play the New Zealand Area
Schools team on Saturday.
“(New Zealand Area Schools)
are not to the same level of
competition we have faced in the
past two weeks, but they will be
tough,” Dunseath said.
He said everyone in the
Country team were sore but
came through the weekend free
from major injuries.
ELUSIVE: Country’s Conner
Smith flies through the air.

Grants for rugby club and parenting group
TWO ORGANISATIONS in
Selwyn have received funding
from the Rata Foundation.
The foundation has granted
$10,000 to Southbridge Rugby
Football Club and $15,000 to the
Selwyn Parenting Network Inc.
The funding will go towards
the rugby club’s development
officer salary and the parenting
network’s operating costs.
The club’s president Chris
McMillan said support from
local funders is important to the
club’s success.
Rugby has had its reputation
tarnished recently but the
Southbridge club stands as a
great example of all that is good
about the sport.
It has long been known as a
multicultural club.
Mr McMillan said the
club, which has in the past
been the target of some
nasty and personal attacks
from individuals outside of
Southbridge, has worked hard on
and off the field on how to deal
with racial abuse.
Canterbury Rugby Football
Union investigated Waihora’s
Bronson Munro last year
after he used a racial slur
towards Southbridge’s Peni
Manumanuniliwa in a club
game. It handed down a 46-week
COME TOGETHER: Southbridge Rugby Football Club has
received a grant of $10,000 from the Rata Foundation.
ban for the former South Island
Maori representative.
Mr McMillan said
improvements this season had
been noticeable around the club,
particularly with the support
of the CRFU’s We All Bleed
Red campaign – a positive step
towards stamping out racial
abuse in the game.
“We’re really pleased to see
how seriously this campaign
is being taken and it’s good to
know we are not alone,” he said.
The intention of the club is
to offer and create a better and
improved pathway for country
players, coaches and volunteers.
Mr McMillan said having a
rugby development officer has
made a huge difference and
the club is planning to have an
academy up and running by next
year.
It will see the development of
11 to 18-year-old players in the
Ellesmere area and will run in
the pre-season.
Meanwhile, the Selwyn
Parenting Network is a nonprofit
organisation working
alongside families in the district
to connect them to social and
community networks.
Selwyn is one of the fastest
growing areas in the country,
but it’s a relatively fragmented
community with small
towns situated across a vast
geographical area.
COMMUNITY: The Selwyn Parenting Network was granted
$15,000 to support the organisation’s operating costs.
Selwyn Parenting Network
committee chairwoman
Kerryn Stokes said families
are a vital part of the district’s
communities.
The network aims to
strengthen families by enabling
them to thrive within the area.
“Our aim is provide
opportunities to all families at
low or no cost. To do this, we rely
solely on funding and are very
lucky to have great relationships
with our funders,” she said.

Drive safe, drive phone free
Nearly 75% of Selwyn residents acknowledge the high risk
involved in texting while driving – when drivers focus on their
phone, they’re not focused on the road.
That’s one of the findings of a recent survey carried out by Selwyn
District Council, which is getting on board with the nationwide
Drive Phone Free campaign. The campaign aims to increase driver
awareness that talking on the phone, texting or even checking a
hand held mobile phone while driving puts them and other road
users at risk.
With cellphones now a large part of many people’s lives it can be
difficult to ignore them when driving, however it is important to
remember to put them away.
In November 2009 a law was introduced making it illegal to use
hand-held mobile phones while driving. This includes:
· making receiving or terminating a phone call
· creating, sending or even reading a text or email
· creating, sending or viewing a video message
Hands-free devices are often considered as a solution to minimise
the risk of driver distraction. While they do decrease the visual risk
(taking drivers’ eyes off the road) and manual risk (taking drivers’
hands off the wheel) they don’t minimise cognitive distraction
meaning drivers’ minds are not focused on the road.
Keep an eye on the Council Facebook page over the next month
for weekly posts and prizes to be won to encourage drivers to drive
phone free. Pick up your free cell phone screen cleaner from a
Council Library and Service Centre or from a rural garage.

Karakia and kapa haka could be heard throughout West Melton on Wednesday last week, as the site of
the new Community and Recreation Centre was blessed. Construction of the new $5.8M facility is set
to begin at the end of the month, and is expected to be completed late next year.
West Melton Community and Recreation Centre Committee chair, Bruce Russell, says the blessing
was an opportunity for the community to celebrate the hard work that has gone in to making the new
facility a reality.
“We received a Rata Foundation grant of $250,000 and the community itself raised $120,000 towards
the new facility – I’m really proud of the way West Melton residents got behind this project and helped
this four-year project come to fruition,” Mr Russell says.

Search on for Civil Defence volunteers Celebrating
THE DISTRICT council is
looking for volunteers to join
its new Selwyn Civil Defence
Response Team.
The team will provide the
district council with additional
capability during an emergency.
This includes helping with
evacuations, sandbagging, light
rescue, reconnaissance, cordon
management and community
needs assessment.
A media spokesman said
it is always looking for more
volunteers to help respond to an
emergency.
“Selwyn already has about 30
community response teams and
this is to supplement that,” he
said.
District council’s emergency
management team leader
Ryan O’Rourke said it is on
the lookout for people with a
background in rescue, but also
for those who are enthusiastic
about serving their community
and who are willing to commit
to the required training.
“We need people who
can operate in physically
and mentally challenging
environments within a small
team. They must also have
excellent communication
skills and be able to follow
instructions,” he said.
The volunteers will be trained
in emergency management, first
aid, light rescue, operating fourwheel-drive
vehicles, radio communications
and flood response.
Volunteers must have a full
car driver licence and be able
to commit to evening training
weekly, and monthly weekend
training activities.
There are a number of
other response teams already
operating in Canterbury
which have responded to major
civil defence emergencies
including the Christchurch
earthquake, the Kaikoura/
Hurunui earthquake, the Port
Hills fire and numerous flood
events.

Backyard Critters
Destructive aphids
Local
News
Now
Fire rages, homes at risk
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
THE CABBAGE aphid
brevicoryne brassicae is a
greyish-white species that
is a pest of brassica species,
including cabbage, brussels
sprouts, broccoli and cauliflower.
The powdery appearance is a
waxy substance produced by the
aphid which contains a strong
mustard oil chemical to ward off
predators.
The aphid species is 2-2.5mm
long and adults can be winged or
wingless.
They are native to Europe but
are now found around the world.
Cabbage aphids can go
through at least 15 generations
per year and a single aphid
can produce 25 nymphs that
can reach large numbers very
quickly in summer.
DEATHLY: Cabbage aphids suck plant juices which causes
leaves to curl and turn yellow and plants to wilt. (Below) A wasp
can inject an egg into the aphids turning them into brown,
spherical aphid mummies.
The aphids suck plant juices,
which causes leaves to curl and
turn yellow and the plant wilts.
Cabbage aphids can be vectors
for viruses, such as turnip mosaic
virus, which can reduce crop
yield and cause plant death.
A significant biological control
agent of this species is a small
(2mm long) parasitoid wasp that
injects an egg into the aphids
where it develops creating brown,
spherical aphid mummies.
HELPING OTHERS: Lincoln resident Paula Morgan with
Matautu Gagaifo Primary School’s year 8 class in Samoa.
Samoan holiday leads to
Lincoln Rotary aiding school
THE ROTARY Club of Lincoln
doesn’t just help the district’s
community.
It is also enthusiastic about
giving a helping hand to other
nations.
Its “backyard” of South Pacific
islands is on the top of the list.
For example, a recent trip to
Samoa by club member Gavin
Morgan and his wife Paula
provided an opportunity to help.
The couple stayed at the
Return to Paradise Resort in the
village of Matautu Lefaga.
During a guided tour of the
village and Matautu Gagaifo
Primary School, Mr Morgan
asked if there was anything the
club could help the school with.
He found out it was in bad
need of teaching material,
specifically computers to provide
visual aids to the children.
On returning to New Zealand,
Mr Morgan approached one of
his friends, Canned Computers
Company owner Ross Burgess.
Mr Burgess donated six
reconditioned laptops to the
cause.
Other members of the club
gave donations of stationery or
helped with the freight cost.
Mr Morgan said about
$1500 in goods was sent over
to the school and the village
community.

PETS & PAWS
Crate training pets
Crate training is an effective way to
house-train puppies, dogs and cats. Just like
an indoor kennel, many vets recommend
crate training where a comfortable happy
place is created for your pet.
Once crate trained, puppies and other
pets often choose to continue using the
crate as a haven throughout their life with
many dogs putting themselves to bed in the
crate even during the day.
A comfortable crate provides your
pet with a secure den-like environment,

such as chewing inappropriate or dangerous
items like electrical sockets or wires, when

Several types of crates are available to
purchase. The key is to ensure the crate is
large enough to accommodate your pet
lying down and turning around. There
should also be room for water, food bowls
and a litter tray for a cat, as dogs and cats
prefer not to soil where they sleep. If your
puppy is a large breed, consider purchasing
a crate that he

fit in, when fully

treats, food and toys inside, feeding your
pet there and enticing it to explore its new
environment with lots of praise whenever
he or she enters the crate.
Using the crate to house-train a puppy is
easy. Feed your puppy in the crate and when
they have finished their meal, immediately
take your puppy outside to urinate and
defaecate. Your puppy will quickly learn
their routine so gradually extend the time
between bathroom breaks so your puppy
eventually sleeps through the night and
waits until early morning to go outside to
toilet.
Like all training, start with short periods
of time in the crate say 30 minutes to one
hour. Over the course of a few weeks, slowly
increase the amount of time your puppy
spends in the crate, endeavouring to ignore
any protests. They will slowly settle down.
Puppies younger than four months of age,
should not spend more than four hours at a
time in a crate unless at night for sleeping.
If you work full-time, try to arrange to
have someone let your puppy out to the
toilet during the day as each time a puppy
has an accident in the crate it will take longer
to be toilet trained. Of course, accidents
will happen so remove the soiled bedding
and remember that over time, you will be
doing this less frequently. Once your puppy

is doing really well with toilet training,
gradually increase the time your puppy is
running free in your home. Consult your
veterinary practice staff for advice if soiling
continues for too long.
Lastly, always ensure there is clean water
in the crate.

they sleep.

MY PRIDE AND JOY
SELWYN TIMES
Agricultural machinery of the past
Selwyn Motor Fest
Sunday 26 November: 10am - 3pm
Bringing power to the farm
In the 1900s, the International Harvester
Company was a household name in farming,
manufacturing amongst other things, trucks
and agricultural machinery including a
stationary motor.
Michael who enjoys preserving old
technology and introducing his children to
the way things were once done, purchased
his 1926 Model M 3 horse-power stationary
motor a year ago. He says his children find
the simplicity of early 1900s machinery
intriguing.
Stationary motors were used for tasks
such as pumping water and powering
milking machines on dairy farms. It was a
time before people had electricity.
The motor has a two pot chamber at the
top. The first is filled with petrol to start
the machine then kerosene flows over from
the second chamber and pumps through to
keep the motor running. Using kerosene
was more economical than petrol, which
was expensive at the time.
Michael says the motor has been restored
in the past so is quite presentable albeit
minus a few parts. He purchased it to
accompany a vacuum pump produced by
Mason and Porter Company (now known as
Masport), which would have been used for
running a dairy milking machine.
1948 International KB3 truck. The truck’s wooden flat deck was retrofitted for farm work.
Decommissioned to the farm
After years of service as a Cadbury’s chocolate
delivery vehicle, Michael’s 1948 International
KB3 red truck is still providing good service.
These trucks were first sold as a cab and
chassis so before being put to work on the
chocolate run, a van body was fitted on the
back. When decommissioned from Cadbury’s
in the 1980s, a wooden flat deck was fitted for
service on a farm with the truck spending 10
years in Ashburton before Michael purchased
it and brought it to Selwyn.
The truck has a flathead straight 6 motor and
green diamond engine. Different colours were
given to the various engines depending on
their cc rating and this one is a 214 cubic inch,
GD 214 and 3,495 cc.
The truck, which is in its original condition,
is still handy on the land. Michael says it is not

MOTORCARE PROFESSIONALS
An enthusiasm
for panelbeating
Pop in and see us today!
R O Jones Panelbeaters: 107 St Asaph Street in the city centre
Laycock’s Collision Centre: 17 Epsom Road, Sockburn
Scott Jefcoate has a passion for panel
beating and doing the job properly,
something he fosters in his staff at
Laycock’s Collision Repairs and R O Jones
Panelbeaters.
“The team’s exceptional. They’re
enthusiastic about their vocation, working
hard and always wanting to send vehicles
out looking like new,” says Scott who owns
and operates both panel beating businesses.
Scott’s team are all I-CAR trained,
participating in off-site industry standard
job training. Within the business, there
is a culture of passing on knowledge
with the older panel beaters fostering the
development of the younger recruits, while
jobs are allocated according to a person’s
skills.
Scott is young, enthusiastic and loves the
challenges of running two very successful,
well-established and recognised panel
beating firms. His friendly approach coupled
with a keen and supportive team across the
two branches, are just two reasons for the
success of his operation.
The two panel beating outlets are well
placed to serve the
people of Christchurch
as well as surrounding
areas with R O Jones
Panelbeaters right in
the centre of the city
and Laycock’s Collision
Repairs conveniently
located in Sockburn, just
a stone’s throw away for
Selwyn residents. Both
offer a full service of
collision repairs, general
panel beating and spray
painting for all motor
vehicles, including
commercial fleets.
Whether you need a
few scratches touched
up, a dent knocked back
into shape or a fuller
panel work, they have
the skill and equipment
to complete the task,
with spray bake ovens
at both outlets and fully
qualified staff who can
tackle any job from small
to large, getting your
wheels back on the road
as quickly as within a
week.
If you are
unlucky enough
to get a ding
to your vehicle
or be in an
accident leaving
you without
a car, take it
straight to R O Jones Panelbeaters or
Laycock’s Collision Repairs where they will
assist you in arranging a claim with your
insurance company, then sorting out the
damage assessment and paperwork before
undertaking a speedy repair.
Just drop your vehicle off at either Laycock’s
Collision Repairs or R O Jones Panelbeaters,
or organise to have it towed there. They
work with all insurance companies.
If needing wheels while the work is being
carried out, they can help with this too. They
have a large fleet of loan vehicles available
for use.
• Two great locations
• Collision repair specialists
• Free loan cars and vans

Bee on guard
Rebecca Lees says you don’t have to be a beekeeper to witness the
wonders of guard bees.
SIT AND watch a hive from close
by, and you’ll witness behaviours
you may have never seen.
The entrance to a bee colony
is a hive of activity. There’s a lot
going on, but you have to be quick
to see it. Bees work at a rapid
pace. The more you watch, the
more fascinating their behaviour
becomes.
In very cold weather you may
only glimpse a few heads poking
out. Make a little noise, and more
will appear. The curious little bees
we see at the entrance are doing an
important job. They’re guarding
the hive. Watching the ins and
outs of the place, and it’s up to
them who’s granted access.
Usually around two to three
weeks old, these young worker
bees take turns on patrol. At times
when nectar flow is high and
plenty of bees take to their air –
guarding decreases. During cooler
weather, when their population is
low and nectar not flowing freely,
the guards are out in force. They
have to be, their hive is at risk.
Any creature can enter a hive, as
long as it fits through the entrance.
Mice squeeze through with ease.
Wasps have no problem. Even
bumblebees, larger than life, will
fit. It’s the guard’s job to make sure
this doesn’t happen. But when it
does – and it will – they’ll defend
their family and, if need be, fight
to the death.
Guards will often stand with
their forelegs raised and antennae
forward. The bigger the entrance to
the hive, the more bees on guard.
They’re on high alert to carry out
regular inspections of incoming
bees. As a bee approaches a hive
it flies in a particular way. Bees
which belong to the hive they’re
visiting have a more direct and
consistent flying pattern. Foreign
bees approach the hive differently.
They’re checking things out.
Searching for the entrance.
Depending on the species,
they’ll hover more or dart this
way and that trying to find a way
in. This flying pattern alerts the
guards to take a closer look, and
inspect the intruder.
Each colony of bees has a
unique odour, made of a mix of
chemicals. Guards use this odour
as a recognition mechanism. If the
odour is foreign, as detected by the
guard bee’s antennae, the intruder
is chased away from the hive.
The intruder may make a quick
getaway and get off scot-free, but
there are those who are really
desperate to get in, and they’ll
keep trying. This is when a battle
takes place.
A guard will fight with the
intruder. If need be (and if the
fight works in the bee’s favour),
the intruder will be stung. That’s
when the real alarm bells ring. On
stinging the intruder the guard
bee releases alarm pheromones.
These pheromones are
another concoction of chemical
substances. They’re an important
communication mechanism on
which the colony depends for its
survival. As the pheromone is
released other worker bees pick
up on the alarm signal. It gets
their attention and changes their
behaviour. They come out of the
hive and join the battle.
This form of SOS often works
well. The more intruders stung,
the more alarm pheromones
released. And the bigger the army
of bees Urban who fight. Section

Take care of your blueberries and they will thrive
Rachel Vogan unearths the tips and tricks of
growing blueberries
AS A child, I always thought
blueberries were some sort
of exotic fruit, as I only ever
saw references to them on TV
programmes such as The Waltons
or Little House on the Prairie.
Little did I know that they were
already being cultivated in New
Zealand.
It was during my first
horticultural apprenticeship that
I first learnt about propagating
and growing blueberries on a
commercial scale. By taking
cuttings in late summer, which
often coincided with the plants
fruiting, meant it was no hardship
to collect the cutting material,
and I could have a sneaky feed at
the same time.
As snacks go, blueberries are
one of the healthiest and tastiest
you can grow yourself, and they
thrive throughout the country.
Which to grow
While most varieties have
some level of self-fertility, it is
always wise to get into the habit
of planting at least two plants.
Choose another variety which
flowers at the same time to ensure
good pollination results, as this
will lead to a higher fruit set and
therefore a larger total harvest.
Blueberries can be classified
into three types, which indicate
their flowering habits, growth
characteristics and which regions
they are best suited to, along with
fruiting times.
Northern highbush – these
flower in mid-spring, fruit in
December and January, and
are suitable for all regions that
have cold winters. Look for
the varieties Blueberry Muffin,
Bluecrop, Dixi, Duke, Elliot,
Jersey, Nui, Puru and Reka.
Southern highbush – these
flower in late winter, then fruit
anytime between October and
February, and are suited to all
areas north of Canterbury. They
are ideal for the northern regions
where the winters are not so cold,
as they do not require as much
cold weather to stimulate flower
buds. Varieties include Island
Blue, Marimba, Misty, O’Neal and
Summer Blue.
Rabbiteye – these flower in
early spring, with fruit appearing
from January through until
April. These are suitable for
most regions that have warm
temperatures well into the
autumn. In some cold areas where
winter arrives early, the fruit may
not fully ripen if temperatures
cool off early. Varieties include
Centurion, Climax, Delite,
Powder Blue, Southland, Tiff
Blue, Blue Dawn, Blue Magic and
Blueberry Burst.
Underground – the root
department
Blueberries have a very shallow
root system, and don’t like having
their root zone tampered with.
This means that mulching is
vital to avoid the soil heating
up and drying out, especially
during the warmer months
while the fruit is developing and
maturing. It is also worth noting
that inconsistent watering leads
to dry, sour fruit. The soil needs
to be able to hold onto moisture,
which is especially important if
you want to grow them in pots.
Because of this, avoid terracotta
pots as the clay is too porous and
the sun soaks moisture out of
it quicker than with ceramic or
plastic alternative.
Blueberry Food
When it comes to soil,
blueberries prefer ground
that is sour, rather than sweet.
Blueberries are in the same family
as rhododendrons, azaleas, pieris
and ericas, all of which prefer
acidic fertilisers as opposed to
sweet ones. So, avoid lime, blood
and bone, and nitrogen-based
fertilisers, and instead look for
acid plant food.
Pruning
Blueberries have a steady growth
rate; you can expect your plant to
roughly double in size each season
with the right watering, mulching
and feeding regime. They are not
fussy about pruning either, so do
it either before the leaves appear
in late winter or spring, or wait
until after the fruiting season has
finished. In spring, the pretty
creamy pink, bell-shaped flowers
appear on older season’s wood,
often on short, stumpy spurs. Be
careful not to prune these off, as it
will take another full year’s growth
to develop that wood again.
Harvesting tips
Allow berries to fully ripen on
the plants. It can be tempting to
pick them as soon as the colour
begins to darken, but patience
will reward you with more
flavoursome berries if you wait.
Berries form in clusters (small
groups), and ripen at different
stages on the cluster, so be careful
when picking them, as you don’t
want to knock off unripe berries.

Stay ahead of what needs to be done
With spring upon
us, Rachel Vogan
says here’s what
you need to know
to stay ahead this
month
GARDENING IS therapy,
and now is the time to get
your green prescription
locked and loaded for the
growing season ahead.
The joys, rewards and
sense of self-satisfaction
provided by a dirty weekend
in the garden are numerous
– the wait is over, spring is
here.
Stretch your arms above
your head and get ready to
launch into action outdoors.
In the warmer regions,
where the soil is dry enough,
start planting out your
vegetable patches now, but if
you are in a cooler area and
the soil still squelches under
your boots, give it a few
more weeks.
Working and planting in
the soil when it is wet does
more harm that good, so
hold off.
Roses, roses and more roses
As soon as the new growth starts to
appear, keep a close eye out for aphids and
greenfly, as these little sap-suckers will
spoil your blooms overnight by chewing
out the petals of the developing buds.
A rose spray programme helps prevent
DELICATE: Cover up young seedlings during cold
snaps.
Cold snaps
Just because it is spring, it doesn’t mean that Jack Frost
has moved on – in the wake of cold, wet periods, frosts
can lurk until November in some parts of the country.
Young seedlings can be protected from frost with small
cloches, plastic covers or by using frost cloth. If it feels
like a cold one, tuck your plants up for the night.
major issues. New roses are aplenty
now in the shops. Fertilise existing
roses with rose fertiliser, which is
available everywhere from hardware
stores and supermarkets to garden
centres.
Vegetables
This month is all about preparation and
planting, so if your patch is still too wet,
get busy sowing the seeds of all your
tender crops like tomatoes, chillies,
eggplants, and cucumbers indoors. If
soil conditions are right, sow the first
rows of carrots, beetroot and radishes.
Hardy crops such as spring onions, celery,
broccoli, cabbage, bok choy, lettuce,
Fruit trees
Have your planted out your new-season fruit
trees yet? The shops are still brimming with an
excellent selection of deciduous trees, berries
and currants, and many apples, peaches,
nectarines and apricots are now available on
dwarf rootstocks. This means the trees do not
grow as big as usual, but while the plant may
be petite, the fruit remains the same size. If
space is at a premium, grow your fruit trees in
larger grow bags or wine barrels, the portability
making them extra convenient should you need
to move them. If you don’t have any room, why
not offer to donate one to your local community
garden, where you can share the fruits of your
crops with other like-minded people.
Lawns
You will start to see a real flush of growth
this month, and as soon as this appears
you know it is time to weed and feed
your lawn. These combination sprays are
available everywhere, and the beauty of
them is that they kill the weeds whilst
fertilising the lawn. Don’t go overboard –
make sure to apply at the recommended
spinach and silver beet can all go in by the
punnet load. For potatoes, make sure you
get them sprouting as soon as possible
to ensure you have some to enjoy for the
Christmas holidays, and most of all, don’t
forget to feed your soil before you plant,
your crops will thank you for it. Slugs
and snails will be out in force, too, so arm
yourself with plenty of bait.
TASTY: Add a nectarine tree to
your garden.
date, and be mindful of the fact that
overuse can cause burn-off.
Prepare new lawn areas for sowing now
by spraying off the area and raking it level,
apply lawn fertiliser before sowing and
protecting the area afterwards so pets,
kids and cars do not accidentally park and
mark your new turf.
gardening without guesswork
Question:
Do I need to put weedmat down before I apply my bark?
Weedmat will definitely help to reduce
Answer: weeding time in the garden, especially
if you are only putting a thinner layer
of bark on. If you apply a 10cm layer of bark, you don’t really
need weedmat, as long as you continue to top it up as it breaks
down. If you want the extra security of it, adding weedmat before
your 10cm layer of bark will definitely not do any harm. There are
a few key things to make sure you do once you have decided to
use weedmat.
Choose a good quality one. The water still needs to get through,
and the soil still needs airflow, and it needs to stop the weeds.
When you apply it, make sure that you use pins to secure it. If
the weed mat moves, the weeds will come through and make
the whole exercise fairly pointless (see bottom right image).
Apply the bark straight after you have applied it. Don’t give the
weed seeds time to land on top of the weedmat.
The more time you spend getting it right from the start, the less time
you will spend pulling weeds out and fixing loose weedmat.

MCCOMBIE, Jack:
23.7.1923 - 24.9.1987
30 years since you left us
Dad. Gone so suddenly,
your cheeky smile, great
sense of humour and
kind, generous nature
will always be missed.
We never had a chance to
say goodbye, but you’ll
always be in our hearts,
and never forgotton.
Love from your children,
Barbara, Helen, Brian,
Peter, Kate, and Richard,
and grand children Jamie,
William, Dan, Jack,
Robert, and Charlie. Rest
easy Dad, especially as
you have Mum to keep
you company.

Join us at one of Christchurch’s largest events
If you’ve been searching for the perfect occasion for you
and your friends to get together, then here it is. The annual
Women’s Lifestyle Expo is back in Christchurch once more
with their biggest Expo yet.
Variety of companies involved –
something for everybody
With over 200 sites to browse,
unique businesses to discover,
shopping, bargains and laughter,
the Expo is the ultimate day out
for every woman and all ages.
One of the appeals the Expo
has to visitors is the variety
of companies involved with
everything from bamboo tooth
brushes to gourmet vodka.
Renee Murray from NZME
Events, organiser of the Expo
says “Our aim is to have as wide
of a range of companies involved
with the Expo as possible.
Women are all different and their
individual interests are so diverse.
One woman may love the latest in
makeup or is looking for childcare
options but the woman beside her
may be more interested in sampling
handmade cheese or discovering
travel and cultural experiences.
It’s great on the weekend to see
all the various women visit the
show, from teenagers to business
women, mothers to grandmothers
and friends simply enjoying each
other’s company. It’s becoming
more common for us to see three
generations visit the Expo together as
well, with the daughter, mother and
grandmother all enjoying the show and
spending the day with each other.”
Featuring lots of new companies and
everything from fashion and accessories
to travel, giftware, fantastic food and
wine, crafts, unique businesses,
beauty, eco-friendly products,
education, community groups and
so much more – what interests the
modern woman will be at the Expo.
Take time for yourself; Have a Mother–Daughter day out or grab
the girlfriends and head to the Women’s Lifestyle Expo on this 30th
September & 1st October at Horncastle Arena. Door Sales only $10.
Be Pampered at the Expo
This year the Expo will feature several
pamper lounges where visitors can stop
and spoil themselves with everything
from eyelash extensions to a relaxing
foot massage. The Style Mystic Hair
Lounge will be a popular destination for
Expo visitors – take a seat and let the
team spoil you with a new style, haircare
advice or an eyelash treatment. The
Southern Reflexology Group will have a
large Reflexology & Relaxation Lounge
for visitors to put their feet up, have a
mini treatment on site and experience the
healing properties of reflexology.
Sparklewhite Teeth will be offering teeth
whitening treatments and beauty therapy
sessions onsite. Your Expo experience
won’t be complete until you visit the
Moisture Mist Makeup Lounge where not
only will you find these Shiseido brands
at great prices, but the team onsite will
be offering makeovers to Expo visitors.
Find out the best colours and products
to suit your own individual needs and
leave the Expo feeling like a new woman!
Grab a Goodie Bag Bargain
Only available for purchase at the Women’s Lifestyle Expo, these goodie
Bags are perfect for expo visitors who love a bargain. They are a mystery
bag including a scarf, mascara and variety of skincare and cosmetic
products and more. Priced at only $20, these bags are sure to be a hit
with Expo visitors and are strictly available only while stocks last.

Enjoy unique shopping to be found at Women’s Expo
With over 200 companies involved, it will be one of the
largest events held in the region and organisers expect many
thousand women to visit the Expo over the two days.
Renee Murray from Expo
Organisers, NZME Events says
“We will be bringing a fabulous
experience to the women of
Canterbury for one weekend.
Don’t miss this opportunity to see
so many wonderful companies and
do lots of shopping under the one
roof. Aside from having the best of
local companies exhibiting at the
Expo we have a large number of
national companies who will travel
to Christchurch from all around
New Zealand especially to show
local women their products. This
is a great chance for women to
stop, relax and spoil themselves
for one weekend”.
Brandhouse will return to the
Expo again with their range of
champagne, vodka, port and
wines. Popular last year was
the Royal Dragon’s elite flavour

What do you have to tell potential
buyers when selling your house?
When you’ve lived in a property for a
while it’s easy to forget some of its quirks.
You might be used to the fact that the
front gate doesn’t shut properly, or that
the bathroom windows need fixing.
Any potential buyers will be able to spot
issues like this when they inspect the
property – and can choose to fix them if
they purchase it. But it’s a lot harder for
them to identify other things you might
have forgotten about, like the fact that
you didn’t bother getting the appropriate
consents from the council when you built
the deck 25 years ago.
You might think the deck is fine, but
you need to front up about the consent
issue, not least because it’s the decent
thing to do.
“When you’re selling a property you are
legally obliged to share all the relevant
information about it,” says Kevin Lampen-
Smith, chief executive of the Real Estate
Agents Authority (REAA).
“If work has been done on the property
during your ownership, either by you or
someone else, the standard terms of the
sale and purchase agreement require the
seller to warrant that any legally required
permits or consents were obtained. If you
knowingly fail to disclose unconsented
works, you are in breach of contract.
This means there is a risk that the sale
could fall over or that you could run into
problems prior to settlement. Even worse,
the buyer could take you to court for
breach of warranty.”
Your first step should be to discuss the
issue with your licensed real estate agent
and your lawyer, Lampen-Smith says.
They are likely to advise that you are better
off to disclose anything unconsented,
or to strike out the applicable vendor
warranties clause in the sale and purchase
agreement.
“Once the real estate agent is aware of
the situation, they are bound by their
Code of Conduct to disclose it to any
prospective buyers. If you tell them about
the deck or any other issues to do with the
property, but ask them not to tell anyone,
they are required to stop working for you.”
Similar disclosure issues can arise over
Retail Investment
more sensitive matters. Some sellers
worry about whether or not to tell an
agent or prospective buyers about an issue
that doesn’t relate to the physical state of
the property – such as it being the scene
of a murder, suicide or violent crime.
Here, deciding what to disclose is less
straightforward, Lampen-Smith says.
“The REAA advises agents to take a
cautious approach and to consider each
situation on its facts, while recognising
the individual circumstances.”
The High Court has said that a more
recent event, especially one that might
have gained some notoriety in the local
neighbourhood, may have more bearing
on a prospective buyer’s view of the
property than a historic one. The location
of the event (whether it took place in the
grounds of the property or inside the
house) and whether the property has been
lived in since it happened, as well as the
likely reaction of potential buyers, should
also be taken into account. The death
of someone from natural causes at the
property does not need to be disclosed, as
this is considered an everyday occurrence.
“If you are in this situation as a seller, it’s
best to discuss what to do with your real
estate agent,” Lampen-Smith says.
“They cannot tell prospective buyers
without your consent – and if they decide
that a sensitive issue should be disclosed
but you don’t agree, then they must cease
Rolleston
to act for you.”
Whatever the situation, whether it’s
unconsented work or a tragic event,
honesty is the best policy. Talk to your
agent about how the disclosure will be
handled. There is no need to advertise the
information or tell everyone who wanders
along to an open home, but potential
buyers who have indicated an interest in
making an offer must be told.

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections
in the Selwyn District
New retirement village in
Rolleston proving popular
Considerable interest has been
received by the developers of Rolleston’s
first retirement village to offer the full
continuum of care.
“I’m thrilled by the response we’ve
had to our recent promotions of The
Boulevard,” says Karen Harris, who along
with her husband Dean will own and
operate the village.
They have over thirty years’ experience
in the industry and are known for
providing exceptional care and service to
all their clients.
Enquiries have been received from
people living in Selwyn and others further
away. Many want to be near family who
live in Rolleston while others are attracted
by the safe, secure, relaxed and worry-free
environment the village will offer. The high
level of interest also shows that Rolleston
is coming of age and ready for a facility of
this kind.
The Boulevard will be constructed in
stages and ultimately comprise: 59 two
and three bedroom villas; 40 one and two
bedroom apartments; 20 care suites; and
58 hospital rest home and dementia beds.
Plans are now with the Selwyn District
Council and once consented, construction
will be underway.
A number of villas in the first and
second stage are already under contract
and many more enquiries have been
received.
“People have been very impressed with
the different villa styles and overall design
of The Boulevard,” says Karen.
The architectural flair and diversity,
choice of villa design and open
spaciousness in a garden setting with wide
streets, sets it apart from many retirement
villages.
“We wanted The Boulevard to look like a
normal sub-division while having a sense
of community,” she says.
The Boulevard will be located at 200 Dunns Crossing Road in Rolleston.
Residents will be in a place where
they can make friends, share a meal,
drink, watch movies, and take part in
sports night or outings, all while living
independently or benefitting from fuller
rest home and hospital facilities.
An impressive large community lodge
will be the hub for social activity. This
will have a dining area, lounge with large
screen for movie and sports viewing, a
meeting/small function room, bar and
café, beautician/therapy clinic, gym,
library, computer nook and outdoor
sheltered courtyard.
Karen says that a big influencer for
future residents has been, not having to
maintain their own garden or external
maintenance as window cleaning,
lawn mowing, gardening, the rates and
insurance are all taken care of. This
will give residents the freedom to enjoy
life in a holiday setting while having
the knowledge they have access to the
full continuum of care down the track,
a determining factor in choosing a
retirement village.
The Boulevard will be located at 200
Dunns Crossing Road, just five minutes
from Rolleston’s shopping centre.

Affordable First Home Ownership
Opportunities in Faringdon
Renting with an ownership outcome
The New Zealand Housing Foundation is a charitable entity
that has been providing real and innovative housing solutions
for low and moderate income working households for over
14 years.
Its affordable housing ‘pathway’ programmes allow qualifying
households to move into a new home and as their financial
circumstances permit transition from renting to outright
home ownership.
Housing Foundation is now accepting registrations of Interest
for three bedroom standalone houses it currently has under
construction in Faringdon that will be available before
Christmas 2017.
Qualifying households will initially be able to rent a new
home in Faringdon for up to five years. They will have first
right to purchase an interest in the property within the 5 year
rental period, once they can meet the Shared Ownership
programme financial requirements.
Applicants must not have had a previous interest in a house
and be unable to purchase in the open market. An annual
gross household income of between $55,000 and $95,000,
depending on individual households’ circumstances, is
required. The deposit requirement to transition to shared
home ownership is a minimum of $10,000 which can include
KiwiSaver first home deposit withdrawals and HomeStart
grants where eligible. Households including children will
have priority.
The full eligibility criteria for the Faringdon houses
can be found on Housing Foundation’s website, www.
housingfoundation.co.nz , under the Greater Christchurch
housing project section.
Housing Foundation has built almost 700 new houses for
use in its assisted ownership programmes and for partner
organisations. It also provides community building and
advisory services to other housing providers.
In the last year 84 new homes have been completed,
including 16 in the Greater Christchurch locations of Hornby,
Awatea and Kaiapoi.
Currently Housing Foundation has 210 households in Assisted
Ownership Housing who are working towards outright home
ownership.
As a first step to moving into ‘a home to call your own’ an
initial Registration of Interest form can be completed on the
Housing Foundation website, www.housingfoundation.co.nz.
Casey, Brad and Jackson moved
into their Kaiapoi home in March
under Housing Foundation’s
affordable ownership programme.
For more information on the Faringdon houses please contact Bill King at the New Zealand Housing Foundation
Telephone 021 203 4196 or email at bill.k@housingfoundation.co.nz.
