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 


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 


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

the cost of a new community pavilion at Weedons Reserve. 


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.

Our People 

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 

instruments including the

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 


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.

think the speed limits need 

to be lowered in Kirwee?

More jobs 

created 

in Hornby 

ABOUT 40 new jobs will be created 

in Hornby when a 28,551 sq m 

supermarket distribution centre is 

built. 

The Foodstuffs temperature-controlled 

building in Hickory Pl will 

be completed in March 2019. The 

first stage is expected to be open in 

August next year. 

The centre will offer between 30 

to 40 new jobs in order picking, 

inventory control, forklift drivers 

and truck drivers. 

Foodstuffs bought the land in 

2010, started planning in 2014 and 

are expecting the first stage to be 

complete in August 2018. With all 

work on the centre due to be completed 

in March 2019. 

“Our existing temperature-controlled 

facility is struggling to keep 

up with demand – particularly in 

peak trading periods,” Foodstuffs 

South Island chief executive officer 

Steve Anderson said. 

“We have allowed space for our 

business to grow. In the short term, 

that means we can offer a logistics 

service to our suppliers, who want 

to use our space to store their excess 

product, and save on transport 

costs,” Mr Anderson said.

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 


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.

Your Local Views 

We said: 

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. 

We said: 

Rolleston resident 

Cheryl Haglund was 

not impressed when six 

roosters mysteriously 

appeared on her front lawn 

overnight recently 

PROBLEM: Cheryl Haglund with two of the six roosters that 

mysteriously appeared on her front lawn during the night. 


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. 

We said: 

Lincoln High School 

students have won their 

battle to grow facial hair 

You said: 

Kyle Steans – What is the 

place coming to. What ever 

happened to having standards? 

This now then what next . . . can 

of worms comes to mind. 

Toaiva Tom Teevale 

– Beware all you nightclub 

bouncers, check their IDs. There 

might be 16, 17-year-olds or 

younger hiding under that 

beard. 

Janys Rebecca Harrison 

– I’m embarrassed to admit this 

is my old high school. 

Philip Steans – Well this has 

opened some flood gates, the tail 

starting to wag the dog. 

Audrey Leslie – Schools are 

for learning, nothing to do with 

beards. 

Donna Brydon – Young men 

want to be young men not boys. 

A reader responds to 

a Selwyn Times article 

about another liquor store 

application in Lincoln 

Raeline Ferguson – So 

another liquor outlet wants to 

open and reading the tone of the 

article that’s a bad thing 

. . . but is it? Competition brings 

competitive prices – that works

that’s a good thing, right?

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.

SELWYN TIMES 

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.

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. 

Author kept busy with questions

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.

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

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

(taking drivers’ eyes off the road) and manual risk (taking drivers’ 

hands off the wheel) they don’t minimise cognitive distraction

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.

News 

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 


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.

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, 

Crate training is an effective way to 

house-train dogs.

helping to prevent destructive behaviours 

such as chewing inappropriate or dangerous 

items like electrical sockets or wires, when 

unsupervised. 

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 

or she will still 

fit in, when fully 

grown.

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

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 

the sort of vehicle you would drive in a hurry 

given its top speed of 70 kph. He takes the 

truck into Lincoln and Rolleston but hardly 

any further though says it is warranted and has 

been reliable. 

“It’s a great vehicle for young people to learn 

to drive in, due to its simplicity and the need 

to learn gears. It is the old style of doubleclutching 

when changing gear, a gear box once 

fondly referred to as a crash box,” explains 

Michael. 

Selwyn Motor Fest 

The stationary motor, vacuum pump and 

1948 International KB3 red truck will be on 

display at the Selwyn Motor Fest, to be held in 

Rolleston on Sunday, 26 November, from 10am

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.

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.

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.

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

Gardening 

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.

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

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 

vodka collection with some 

flavours selling out. Introducing 

the most tantalizing and unique 

flavoured vodka collection of its 

time, flavours include Watermelon, 

Green Apple, Passion Fruit, 

Chocolate and Lychee… a 

great vodka collection to enjoy 

neat, on the rocks or in your 

favourite cocktail! Visit the large 

Brandhouse site at the show to 

sample from their fabulous range and 

take home what you love. 

A new exhibitor to the show is The Lip 

Lounge, a new Christchurch based 

business that can help you customize 

your own lipstick in your favourite 

shade. You can even bring in your 

favourite lipstick that may have been 

deleted or you want to replicate and 

you can watch the girls at The Lip 

Lounge mix and create your perfect 

shade right in front of you. 

A popular section of the show is 

the large Artisan Craft Zone. With 

some favourite companies appearing 

every year and new companies 

featuring, it’s the perfect spot to 

find original crafts and creations. 

Crafter Alexander will travel to 

the show all the way from Marton 

in the North Island to showcase 

his range of handcrafted wooden 

kitchen planters. These have 

sold out at the past two Expos so 

Alex is looking forward to seeing 

the feedback from Christchurch 

visitors. 

Make sure you stop by the Artisan 

Craft Zone at the show and meet 

some talented small businesses.

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.
