Intersections on dangerous list
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
RURAL intersections in Selwyn
are rated the second most
dangerous in New Zealand.
Data shows as of May this year,
three fatal or serious crashes
were recorded at rural intersections
within the district.
Selwyn ranks below Hamilton,
which also had three fatal or serious
crashes recorded at its rural
intersections.
The information was released
by the New Zealand Transport
Agency, using data from its crash
analysis system.
It was discussed at the district
council’s road safety subcommittee
meeting last week as
part of a report from committee
chairwoman and district councillor
Nicole Reid.
Inspector Peter Cooper said
the statistics were not a surprise.
He believed Selwyn had more
stop signs at rural intersections
than any other area in the country,
he said.
“When you drive around in
Selwyn you come to so many
double intersections with stop
signs each way and they are all
high speed, 80 to 100km/ph.
That is what heightens the risk,”
he said.
Mrs Reid said the district’s
landscape was another reason.
“Our roads go for quite some
distance so if you are distracted
there is the potential to miss the
intersection coming up,” she
said.
Other factors included a boom
in population and increase in
traffic numbers, and the mix of
local, commuter and city traffic.
A trial of solar-powered flashing
LED signs, which have been
in place at some of the district’s
most dangerous intersections for
the past 18 months, is set to be
evaluated next month.
The idea was first put forward
by Sergeant Dan Harker. He and
his pregnant wife were nearly
killed after they were hit by another
car while driving through
an intersection in the district
about 20 years ago.
Sergeant Harker said the trial
had produced positive results.
“It is working, that is the main
thing...there haven’t been any
crashes at any of the sites, when
there normally would have been
up to 11. They work,” he said.
Mrs Reid said the committee
needed to review the effectiveness
of its road safety activities
and its road visibility.
The committee resolved to
hear from various agencies
involved including police and
NZ Trucking Association, about
what programmes were in place
to reduce risk.
A speed limit review is also
underway by the district council.

THE
EDITOR’S
DESK
A GREAT effort on Saturday by
the Te Ara Kākāriki Greenway
Canterbury Trust which planted
1000 trees and shrubs on Ken
and Denise McKenzie’s property
which was devastated by the
Port Hills fires (see page 7).
The house was saved but the
vegetation was destroyed by the
huge blaze which raged through
the area.
Trusts like the Te Ara
Kākāriki Greenway Canterbury
Trust have a very important role
in society, but the key to their
hard work is the people – so well
done.
Also today (page 1), we reveal
data showing Selwyn’s intersections
are the second most dangerous
in New Zealand. That’s
not surprising.
At the end of the day it is in
the hands of the driver. Intersections
don’t cause crashes; drivers
do. Let’s be careful out there.

Lincoln High beards:
School sets out facial hair rules
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
LINCOLN HIGH School has
set the ground rules for its new
trial allowing students to grow
facial hair.
It is dropping its clean-shaven
only rule after its students
won a year-long
campaign for
facial hair.
A board of
trustees meeting
was held last
week to finalise
Kathy
Paterson
the rules and
the length of the
trial period. The
new rules require
facial hair to be tidy and no
longer than 3cm.
Facial hair must be groomed
and not extend on to the neck.
Longer beards may be allowed
for medical or cultural reasons.
Board of trustees chairman
Adrian Paterson said he does
not think the length of
the beards will be an issue.
“I don’t think anyone will be
running around with a ruler
to see if it is 3cm or not. It can
grow longer than a stubble but
we are not looking for full-on
old man beard,” he said.
Mr Paterson said the school
received a positive response for
the trial.
“We expected if anyone was
upset they would be getting in
touch but we haven’t really had
any of that,” he said.
The trial is expected to run
until the end of next year when
it will be reassessed.
“It is a trial period so we
are not tied to it forever, but
if it works well it is great,” Mr
Paterson said.
Principal Kathy Paterson said
she was happy with the process
the school went through to
make the decision.
An earlier survey of staff,
students and parents at the
school found many supported
allowing facial hair.
But Mrs Paterson said
she did not see the need to
release the survey.

SATURDAY
7 OCTOBER
NEW TRIAL: Lincoln
High School has laid
down the rules as part
of its new beard trial
for students.
“We have used the student
voice, we co-constructed the
outcome with the students.
There is no need at all. There
is a very strong voice for the
students to be tidy and well
represented,” she said.

LIQUOR STORE CRITICS
An application for an off-licence
liquor store in Lincoln has
received 161 objections. Objections
to the proposed Liquorland
Lincoln on Vernon Drive
closed on Wednesday. A district
council spokesman said no date
had been set for a hearing as
the objection period just closed.
Another outlet, Lincoln Bottle
Store, wants to open on Gerald
St, about 100m from existing
off-licence, Super Liquor. It has
received 100 objections and a
hearing date is yet to be established.
SPEED LIMIT REVIEW
The district council is seeking
feedback on planned changes to
speed limits across the district.
The changes have been planned
following a district-wide review
of speed limits, and reflect the
growth in population and traffic
volume in Selwyn. Areas in
which it is planned to lower
speeds limits include Castle Hill,
Leeston, Lincoln, Prebbleton,
Rolleston and West Melton.
Feedback is open until Friday,
October 27, 5pm. For more

“My first pair of hearing aids...”
- Helen Beaumont’s Story
“Towards the end of last year I started to notice I
was struggling to hear. My husband had suggested I
should get my hearing checked. Honestly I thought
is was probably a build-up of wax in my ears. I
thought I didn’t need the hearing test or perhaps I
didn’t want to acknowledge it.
I finally booked an appointment to see Brenna.
When she checked – I had no wax in either ear! I
remember sitting in her hearing booth and wondering
why I was having such a detailed test – but,
I was finding it hard to hear the words that I was
meant to be repeating!
After the test was completed Brenna explained the
results and told me that I had a “moderate hearing
loss”. What a shock – I think I said “you’re kidding
me”. My shock was obvious and Brenna showed so
much empathy, and was so good dealing with my
emotions. Brenna said I would definitely benefit
from hearing aids and explained how they would
help me.
When I went back for a follow up appointment 2
weeks later I asked my husband to come with me.
Brenna had programmed some trial hearing aids
to suit my hearing loss and she showed me how to
put them on. I couldn’t believe it! it was amazing,
like a different world – I had tears running down
my face. I am sure the look on my face showed it
all. I said “I’ve got to have these”. Brenna explained
the various options that would be best suited to
me. There were various prices and getting my head
around investing that much in myself was a challenge
at the time. My husband agreed that I should
get them and ultimately it was an easy decision.
I have had follow up appointments with Brenna to
fine tune things and to help me get accustomed to
being a hearing aid wearer. She has been exceptional,
I can call her and see her whenever I need
advice. Given that I didn’t realise I needed an
audiologist at all, I am glad I chose Brenna. She is
caring and approachable and always there if I need
anything or have a question.
I honestly love my hearing aids. They are tiny so
you cannot even see them. I think the reason I was
upset when I found out I had a hearing loss is that
I pictured “Radar”, an old gentleman I remember
from childhood who had a huge contraption to help
him hear. Times have changed. My hearing aids are
connected to my iphone, I can make adjustments,
and when it rings, I hear it through the hearing aids.
It’s incredible! Although the first time the phone
rang, I must say I didn’t know what to do! Needless
to say there has been some fun in my getting
used to blue-tooth. I also remember the first time
getting into my car after having my aids fitted – the
radio and indicators were SO LOUD – it was amazing.
Evidence enough that my hearing was worse
than I had realised.
I am so happy. The clarity and crispness of sound
is fantastic. It sounds like a cliché, but hearing the
birds chirping again is such a joy. I guess because
hearing loss is gradual you don’t notice things that
slip away. Is life better? Yes! Even playing golf is
more enjoyable. I saw the tag line “Love your hearing”
at Brenna’s clinic and I can honestly say that I
now do. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”

One third of the journey over for
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
A THIRD of the $195 million
Southern Motorway upgrade has
been finished.
The Christchurch Southern
Motorway Stage 2 is on target
to be ready by early 2020, which
will see a section of Main South
Rd widened to four lanes and
the project linked up to the
Halswell Junction Rd end of the
motorway.
Work on the major project has
been under way since November
and is set to ramp up as summer
approaches.
The motorway aims to halve
the travel time between Rolleston
and Christchurch from 30 to
about 15min.
Over winter, more than
300,000 cu m of earth was
moved, two new roads built
and the first of eight bridges has
almost been completed.
New roads Tiptree Lane and
Manion Rd are open, along with
construction at Justine Drive
having just begun.
PROGRESS: A new bridge (above) on Main South Rd, north
of Rolleston, is 80 per cent complete. Work continues on the
new motorway extension looking south from Waterholes Rd
to Robinsons Rd with two lanes in each direction and a central
median barrier.

New Zealand Transport
Agency principal project
manager Geoff Griffiths said
the new roads give access to
homes and businesses.
He said Manion Rd allows
the CSM2 team to carry on
with work on the four-lane
motorway from Weedons Rd
to Curraghs Rd.
The Main South Bridge,
north of Rolleston, is 80 per

motorway.
Work on the Weedons
interchange and Main South

Motorists are able to travel
up to 110km/h on some of
the country’s expressways,
including Tauranga’s eastern
link.
The southern section of
the Christchurch motorway
would be considered for this

Mr Griffiths said the
110km/h limit can only be
applied to roads that have
been built to a standard

THEN AND NOW:
A team of volunteers

Rd residents Ken and

replant their property,
which was badly burnt
in the Port Hills fires.

Volunteers replant after fire damage
MORE THAN 60 people pitched
in on Saturday to help a couple
whose property was devastated
in the Port Hills fires.
They volunteered their time to
plant about 1000 native seedlings
on Ken and Denise McKenzie’s
Early Valley Rd farm.
The house was saved during
the fires by helicopters dousing
it with monsoon buckets, but the
land was left badly damaged.
The couple’s plantings of native
trees, some which were 25 years
old, were burnt in the fires.
Mr McKenzie said he was left
touched by the work volunteers
had put in. He and his wife never
would have achieved what the
volunteers did in a morning, he
said.
“It was amazing,” he said.
The event was organised by Te
Ara Kākāriki Greenway Canterbury
Trust coordinator Elizabeth
Guthrey.
About 40 volunteers were
registered with the trust while
another 20 associated with the
farm helped on the day.
Mr McKenzie described it as
a wave of planting that moved
across the hill.
The couple had planned to
divide their farm before the fires,
with two thirds for grazing and
one third native habitat.
When Mrs McKenzie’s first
plantings matured enough to
produce seed, she had collected
and potted the seed to plant in
other parts of their farm.
Many of the plants she had
sprouted herself burned to the
ground.
The trust has now written
a restoration plan for the Mc-
Kenzie’s property and plans to
continue helping them by contributing
more volunteers and
funds in the future. The trust is
planning to plant again at the
farm in August next year.

Mud race finally gets green light
WILD WEATHER almost
caused the district’s muddiest
event of the year to be postponed
for a third time.
After having to delay the
Sheffield Mud Plug twice,
organisers were concerned the
event was going to have to be
cancelled for good.
But with a lot of persuasion
from landowner Derek Bull, who
held the event on his farm, the
organisers decided to attempt to
run the event.
Sheffield Volunteer Fire
Brigade chief officer Neville
Croy, who helped organise the
event, said it was a great decision
and they could not have got a
better day.
He thanked everyone who
made this event successful,
enjoyable and safe.
The fun day required fourwheel
drivers to race through 12
muddy obstacle courses.
All proceeds went to the
Sheffield Volunteer Fire Brigade
and Malvern Order of St John.
The amount raised from the
day is still being counted. About
2000 people came through the
gate to take part in the 4x4 event.
Mr Croy said some entrants
took the sport seriously with one
competitor investing $130,000 in
his buggy.

Tracy McCrenor, TJ Jeep Wrangler; second – Adam
Wardle, Toyota Hilux; third – Brock Welsh, TJ Jeep
Wrangler. Buggy class: First – Nathan Hammond; second
– Andy Reeves; third – Troy Reed
Two classes were run on the
day – a manufactory’s class and a
buggy class.
“We had a full field of
competitors – 41 entries which is
the maximum we can take,” Mr
Croy said.
The manufactory’s class
section was won by Andrew
Satherley and Tracy McCrenor in

Nathan Hammond won the
buggy class.
It is the fourth year in a row
Mr Satherley has won the event.
Competitors travelled from as
far as Nelson and Dunedin to
take part. But the day would not
have been complete without a
couple of vehicles tipping over.
One driver tipped twice in
the morning and once in the
afternoon. But Mr Croy said the
only injury was to the driver’s
pride and a bit of damage to his
vehicle. The tractor and digger
drivers were kept busy towing
some competitors through the
hazards.
Mr Croy said the marshals did
an amazing job keeping people
safe and ensuring the event ran
smoothly.
The event was also supported
by the Springfield Volunteer Fire
Brigade and the community.
Mr Croy said the food sites
also had a good time with Mr
Whippy and the coffee man kept
busy all day.

CultureFest celebrates diversity
ABOUT 3000 people turned
out last weekend to celebrate
Selwyn’s growing diversity in the
district.
CultureFest 2017 featured 23
performances from 20 different
ethnic and cultural backgrounds
along with 15 food vendors representing
a different country.
The event was held on Sunday
at the Lincoln Event Centre and
Lincoln Domain.
The district council’s senior
events and recreation adviser
Dave Tippett said the festival was
an outstanding success.
There were plenty of craft,
games and activities including
Iranian hand crafts, Mah Jong,
Henna Tattoos, face painting,
balloon art, highland games,
Japanese traditional games and
of course Te Taumutu kiwiana
products and craft.
Multiple agencies also
displayed information and support
services for residents and
newcomers and migrants like the
BRIGHT: NZ Folk Dancing Group taking the stage.
“Show Me Selwyn” bus tours.
Selwyn’s Mayor Sam
Broughton and Ngai Tahu ethnic
adviser Sally Pitama opened the
event.
The festival included performances
from the Canterbury
Nepalese Society Inc, the
Christchurch Chinese Zhonghua
Association and Rossinka
Multicultural Dancing Group.
Food vendors ranged from Dorothy’s
Pop Up Tearooms to Honey
Cakes and Kebab Habeebee.
VARIETY: Nigerian Food Stall

Fellowship of Song and

Limited Service
Volunteers
Course S01/18 at

The course brings 100 17-
25 year-olds together from
across the country to develop
leadership, self confidence, and
work readiness skills. The course
is run with Ministry of Social
Development support and in
conjunction with NZ Police.
Officer Commanding Grant
Boore and his staff work with
each young person to challenge
old habits while building self
esteem. The transformation in
the young people was amazing
to witness over the duration of
the course.
The attendees worked really
hard in a military style environment
including pack marches,
strength and stamina conditioning,
marching, camping, survival,
river crossing, first aid and
nutrition. They also focussed on
elements that employers have
identified as desirable in job
applicants, including time
management, respect and

During the course the group
also spent a day of community
service at Chamberlains Ford
where they replanted natives and
tidied up the area following the
winter floods. Their work is very
much appreciated by myself and
Selwyn District Council staff.
This was not a boot camp,
it was not hard punishment
and it was not demeaning of
individuality.
There is a growing body of
research that shows that approaching
our support for one
another needs to focus on each
other’s strengths and abilities

course achieved.

Kim Strange
Prebbleton mother brings creative
Kim Strange, of Prebbleton, is the driving force behind
Art Couture NZ’s wearable arts competition in Tai Tapu
next month. She spoke to Georgia O’Connor-Harding
Tell me about what made you
decide to set up a wearable arts
fashion show?
Last year I entered a wearable
arts competition. First in
Rolleston and then I took my
outfit over to Westport. I had
a friend that modelled for me
and we just had so much fun
together. My friend suggested
why don’t we do one in
Christchurch and it just went
from there. Four of us are the
main ones behind the show. It
has been a big learning curve
but we have enjoyed the process.
We did it as an opportunity
for your regular people to have
a go. We are a bit different –
we wanted the models to be
anybody. We didn’t want people
to think models can only be
young and tall and thin. We have
encouraged the entrants to use
their friends and family to model
for them.
What is the criteria for the
fashion?
It has to be a garment but it
can be made out of anything. We
have got categories. We have got
the sow’s ear, which is our signature
category – we created that
www.dcis.co.nz
because we provide the materials.
So people pay an extra $50
to enter and we gave them a bag
of materials. That included some
regular fabrics but also some
odd things. Our other one is a
recycled category, which is really
popular, and the other one is
hardware, which involves using
anything from a hardware shop.
We have got about 30 entrants
and Hillmorton High School has
entered.
You used to work at the
Home Interaction Programme
for Parents and Youngsters,
HIPPY, in Hornby?
I left HIPPY Hornby generally
because it was a full-time job.
Things happened at home
where I needed to be mum at
home more. I work at South
West Baptist Church. I do
administration for a couple
of pastors. I am running a
conference this week.
We have got seminars with
Canadian psychologist Gordon
Neufeld and teamed up with
West Spreydon School. We’ve
had topics on making sense

Fire rages, homes at risk
world of wearable arts to Tai Tapu
Then I worked as a resource
teacher of learning and
behaviour where I moved
around schools. I did a wee bit
at McKenzie Residential School
when it was still running. My
last teaching position was at Our
Lady of the Assumption School
in Hoon Hay as a special needs
co-ordinator.
What are some of the most
important lessons you learned
from teaching?
Particularly when I worked
in special needs, it is that
understanding of kids and
behaviour. I have dyslexia that
runs through our family – it is
about advocating for our kids.
And making sure kids actually
have what they need to succeed.
It is helping kids to realise they
are not thick and not dumb.
They are often intelligent kids.
Most children with dyslexia are
creative in some respect.
You have a family of your
own?
I have three sons – 18, 16 and
11. They are pretty good teenagers,
I can’t complain. I have
been married to my husband
for 24 years. We met at a youth
group sports night a long time
ago. Paul works at Canterbury
University as a desktop support
consultant. He is also an officer
at boys’ brigade, which is run out
of South West Baptist Church.
It is a bit like scouts but it is
run through a church and they
have probably got about 50 kids
involved. He started boys’ brigade
when he was 10 and hasn’t
left. He is a trustee at Waipara
Adventure Centre.
Are you involved with the
Prebbleton Community Cottage?
I run a craft group from the
cottage. I set that up at the
beginning of this year. We
have a core group of ladies who
come every week and it is lovely
because there are a whole lot of
women who didn’t know each

other before and now they have
formed strong friendships.
Is that one of the reasons you
decided to set up the group in
the first place?
Absolutely. It is because I love
craft. I have inherited a love of
craft from my mother Dawn
Hansen. It is kind of another
thing to do with mental health,
connecting in the community
and getting to know each other.
We run workshops – I ran a
mosaic one recently and we have
had a photography workshop.
You spoke about your mother
being interested in the arts. Tell
me about her?
Absolutely, she has been in
craft groups for years, too. She
made my Irish dancing dress
when I did Irish dancing as a
kid. That is something I will always
treasure. I have got it hanging
up. She hand-embroidered
it and everything. I have got lots
of heirloom types of things from
Mum.
Where did you grow up?
I grew up in Halswell. We
only moved to Prebbleton just
before the February 22, 2011,
earthquake – four days before.
Our new house got a little damage,
we were very fortunate.
Prebbleton is lovely, it is such a
nice community.
Do you have any top places
you would like to travel to?
Oh yes, Paul and I went to Africa
before we had children. Now
we have the desire to go to Europe
and the United Kingdom,
which we have never been to.
One of our sons has a friend who
moved to France, so we would
love to go visit them.
What part of Africa did you
go to?
We started in Kenya and went
down the east coast and down to
South Africa. We did a camping
safari. We stayed in tents all the
way through. We did feel safe
and we did it through a proper
organised tourist group. You
don’t feel that unsafe, a part from
when you are in the big cities.
We had good guides. We still
have a lot of things in our house
from Africa.
You got to see a lot of wild
animals, what were some of
your most vivid memories?
Probably once when we saw
some lions which had just killed
a zebra. That was something that
will stay with us. We walked
quite close to the elephants and
rhinoceros. You had to be careful
what side you walked on them,
they ran remarkably fast too.
The tour guides had to let people
at the South Luangwa National
Park know we were there so
they wouldn’t shoot us. They
might think you are poachers.
If you wanted to go to the toilet
at night, you had to shine your
torch around in case there were
any lions. Each camp site had
guards there over night who had
bow and arrows or whatever to
keep you safe.

Prebbleton baker’s cakes in
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
FROM A digger-themed
birthday cake splashed with
colour to a elegantly-designed
wedding cake topped with
intricate fondant flowers
– Felicity Goodfellow’s
home-baking is growing in
popularity.
With a love for challenging
her baking skills, the
Prebbleton resident has baked
an array of cakes which are in
hot demand with friends and
family.
Her baking has received a
surge of support on Instagram
and Facebook, with people
asking if she will start up her
own business.
“I just sell to friends and
family but I wouldn’t say I
have got a business as such,
and I don’t think I really want
to go down that route of having
a business. But never say
never, who knows,” she said.
Creating picturesque cakes
wasn’t always a desire of Mrs
Goodfellow’s.
But when her eldest daughter
Emmy celebrated her first
birthday in 2014, the former
Avonside Girls’ High School
teacher was determined to
make her daughter’s day as
special as possible.
BEST CAKES: Felicity Goodfellow bakes amazing cakes for family and friends.

“I had some time up my
sleeve because I was off on my
maternity leave from teaching
. . . it was that time in my
life where I could challenge
myself,” she said.
Soon after successfully
baking her daughter a “giant
cupcake”, Mrs Goodfellow
began hunting for more cakes
to bake in a bid to perfect her
new craft.
Four years down the line
and she has created a range of
cakes, from the three-layered
hungry caterpillar-themed
SELWYN TIMES
cake to an “ice cream smash”
cake and a layered macaroon
cake.
“I love helping people to
make their special day and
seeing the joy on their face
when I drop off their cake,”
she said.

Mrs Goodfellow describes
her trademark style as a butter
cream shabby chic look.
“I generally work with
butter cream, which is my favourite
sort of style, but just
recently I have been working
with fondant a little bit more
and more,” she said.
Mrs Goodfellow also has a
passion for building fondant
flowers, which she says finishes
off a cake.
Although she initially continued
to do relief teaching
while on maternity leave, she
now has her own health and

Lincoln students shave
hair for cancer charity
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
LINCOLN HIGH School
students have chopped off their
locks for a good cause.
More than $2000 was raised
to support CanTeen with 10
students shaving and cutting off
their hair recently.
A total of $2500 was raised
from the event organised by
students Nicole Spriggs and
Maisie Wood, who are the coheads
of the services’ council. It
was the first year a student had a
pony tail cut off as well as a head
shave. Assistant principal Kylie
Wissel said it worked well for the
girls as the hair will be used to
make wigs.
The event also featured the
annual Wrath of the Wax where
the school’s first XV rugby team
went against the first XI football
team to see which could raise the
most money for the cause.
The losing team was waxed
by the winning team. The event
was attended by a representative
from CanTeen.
Dedication balloons, organised
by Maisie and Nicole, were
made available to students to
purchase for $2 to dedicate to
someone struggling with cancer.
But due to the weather, the
students have held off releasing
the balloons into the sky until
next term.

We said:
Kirwee’s chief fire
officer Stuart Jones wants
urgent action taken on
an intersection at State
Highway 73 (West Coast
Rd) and Courtenay Rd in
the township. Readers
were asked if they thought
the intersection should be
addressed:
You said:
Carol Lowe – If folks
actually stopped at the stop signs
there wouldn’t be a problems.
There are far worse junctions
in the district. Folk just need to
follow the road rules and drive to
the conditions.
Bob Gillard – Well for a start
off people need to obey the STOP
sign at corner of Courtenay Rd
and State Highway 73. STOP
means STOP.
Jason Gemmill – Well I
don’t the use the road daily but
use it monthly and have done for
12 years. Ummm don’t see what
the problem is.
Margaret Gamblin – Good
to see the pubs still standing, my
mum used to work there when I
was little.
Sean Woods – I didn’t see a
DANGEROUS: Kirwee’s chief fire officer Stuart Jones is calling for the speed limit to be lowered
on State Highway 73 within the township.
problem with the road - parked
our bus at back of pub and had
lunch. Great place to stop.
Steve Evans – And exit
off Tramway Rd should be a
compulsory stop.
Maree Jewell – Yes it does
and people need to STOP at the
stop sign.
Ilze van Zyl – People don’t
slow down to the speed limit,
people don’t stop at the stop sign.
There are no safe pedestrian
crossings.
Brodie Grave – West Melton
one just as bad.
Kate Anderson – Its
dangerous. People sneak out of
side streets on to main road in
the middle flow of traffic and
then do 30km/h. I’ve seen buses
do this as well when leaving the
bus stop and they seem to expect
traffic to just stop for them.
Elizabeth Frizzell – There
needs to be a proper turning
lane, certainly for Tramway Rd.
Erin Todd – Defiantly needs
attention before we bury one of
our own.
Angelique Pierce – I
personally don’t think it’s that
bad - if everyone knows their
give way rules.
Sally Dobbs – What do
people not understand about the
word stop.
Fiona Mary Hopkinson
– Maybe if you’ve come from the
pub. Then its dodgy.
Sarah Gilbert – The tree
could always be removed as well
for better visibility.
Roz Scobie – Do I think it’s
a bit dicey? S*** yes.
Right turn from West Coast
Rd into Courtenay Rd is a
“playing with your life”
game.
I’ve breathed in many a time
watching a car in my rearview
mirror doing 70km/h.
Heather Rowlands – Many
years ago there used to be give
way sign from Courtenay Rd to
Main West Coast Rd. Been a stop
for many years but drivers
don’t.They just slid around the
corner.
Roz Scobie – It’s not the
speed...there’s no room for
passing vehicles when stopped to
turn off the West Coast Rd.

•From page 17
Courtney Hyde – I think
turning off State Highway 73
turning right into Hoskyns Rd
heading to Rolleston is worse.
Rach Anderson – I agree.
I’ve seen many vehicles continue
at 100km/h through Kirwee and
not stop at the Courtenay Rd
signs. As the area grows, the situation
will only increase.
Lou Tait – They also need to
get rid of some if those trees on
the monument side. They make
seeing on coming traffic when
you are pulling into Tramway Rd
quite hard.
Keryn Wilson – I am a super
careful driver but this is a spooky
one if it’s the one I’m thinking of
- is there a rail line on one side? I
once nearly got caught out concentrating
on too many signs at
once - rail warning, etc. Braked
last minute and it was fine but I
nearly missed the compulsory
stop! Gave myself a heart attack!
Paul Robinson – Main issue
here is also the lack of turning
area into Tramway Rd and traffic
heading west have no way of going
around. Needs widening and
speed reduction.
Tracey Jones – Definitely
dangerous I know first hand, was
lucky to walk away.
Louise Marie Stubbings
– Since we moved to the other
side of Courtenay Rd when I’ve
turned left from West Coast Rd
twice now with someone in front
turning right I have had to say a
prayer that the car behind me is
actually going to slow down and
not end up in my boot.
Sharon Morton – Omg yes
totally agree.
Melissa Evans – The danger
is not the road or the tree. It’s
the idiots who don’t follow road
rules and speed limits. What is
three seconds for stopping. A
number of Kirwee residents don’t
follow the road rules and also
speed and pass people through
Kirwee. Would love to video stop
sign and post it on here. Just set
your alarm five minutes earlier
and follow the rules.
Darren AJ King – No, most
people roll though the STOP
SIGNS , I see it every day, most
of them live in Kirwee, put some
photos of people not stopping in
the local paper on a full page, I
bet that would wake a few up.
Kerry Bray – While you
think about that just watch how
many do not stop at the Courtenay
Rd STOP sign - it’s more
driver education.
Steve Callender – Walking
home from garage just now at
7.35am, I saw four vehicles approach
the stop sign from both
sides of Courtenay Rd and only
ONE of them stopped. The other
three rolled right on through. It’s
not the road or speed limit that’s
the issue.
A reader responds to
Selwyn Times’ article
on Lincoln High School
allowing its students to
grow beards
Barry Donovan – Beards
are a natural characteristic of a
mature male human. Beardless
faces are found in nature on
juvenile males, and on females of
all ages. To force young maturing
males to shave off their developing
beards is to emasculate
them. Males must be allowed to
develop their mature male characteristics
as nature intended.
Otherwise they may not become
normal mature males.
A reader responds to
Selwyn Times’ article on
concern over ratepayers
paying for the new
community pavilion at
Weedons Reserve, which
they may not get any use
out of
Frank Dowle – I write regarding
this week’s article about
the proposed new Weedons
pavilion. It seems that one or
two agitators are delaying the
building of this positive community
facility. There was proper
consultation with rate payers
and I understand that there was
widespread support for the facility.
Yes sports clubs will benefit,
but the pavilion will also be
used by community groups for
meetings and activities including
those for children and the
elderly.
Unfortunately most of the
interesting and historic buildings
that once graced Weedons
have been demolished resulting
in a community with no village
centre. The new pavilion will
be an appropriate community
facility and will also be available
for private functions. There is
constant concern about children
being inactive and that our adult
population is increasingly obese.
Building facilities such as the
Weedons pavilion can only be
a good thing and is an investment
in our community and
our future. I implore the district
council to ignore the naysayers
and get the pavilion built without
further delay.

Canterbury’s public
transport senior
manager Stewart
Gibbon responds
to a letter from Sue
Walders on a bus
service from Leeston
to Christchurch
printed in Selwyn
Times’ September 26
edition
The Regional Public
Transport Plan is currently
being revised. A
draft will be released for
public consultation early
in 2018. This consultation
period, along with the
service reviews that will
follow, will be an opportunity
for residents and
bus users to comment on
the types of services and
connections available in
greater Christchurch, and
changes they may want to
be considered.
A reader responds
to Selwyn Times’
article on the bus
service from Leeston
to Christchurch
CheCk out theSe
Tanya Maylam – I
read the article in the
September 19 issue of
Selwyn Times with interest.
There has been I
believe an increase in
the number of school
children going to school
in Christchurch and this
is not just children from
the townships but from
outlying farms. I myself
would love to have the
advantage of an early
morning service during
the week from Leeston
to the connecting bus
services at either Rolleston
or Lincoln. With an
increasing population of
teenagers in the local area
a weekend service, both
into and out of Christchurch,
would also be very
useful. A saving in time
and money in relation
to petrol and associated
car running costs would
be great. I was interested
to note that Leeston
residents were surveyed
in 2009 by Environment
Canterbury and Red Bus
Christchurch did a survey
in 2015, but I would like
to point out that a survey
of householders in the
outlying areas around
the townships may give
slightly different results as
not only patrons living in
the townships use the bus
services and you may find
that if one was available
from the local townships
that rural residents would
travel to the township to
catch the bus.

Dresses for spring
Dresses are ideal in the warmer months as they are cool and
comfortable and require very little thought when
dressing – one piece and you are done!
There are many and varied styles on offer with
something for everyone. This season there
are more of the longer midi length dresses
around which is good news for those
reluctant to show off their knees. There
are also maxi and mini so pretty much
anything goes.
There are also some with sleeves and
thankfully there are some cute little
chiffon boleros in various colours to
create a little sleeve for sleeveless
dresses.
The beautiful Vivid teal dress is a winner being below
the knee, with sleeves and the ruffles offer a clever
disguise making the dress very flattering for all
shapes. This dress is also available in royal blue in
size 16 only. Teal sizes 10 -16 $129.
Libertine is a label well known for stunning
print fabrics. The Libertine rainforest dress is
in a beautiful floral fabric with hues of jade,
white and pink. This dress featured in the latest
simply You fashion magazine and is available
in store in sizes 8 -14 for $179.90.
Another pretty dress by Libertine is the
botanic garden dress with a quirky print featuring
potted plants. it is a lovely easy style which can be
dressed up or worn casually. Available for $169.90
in sizes 8-14.
A third offering from Libertine is the gorgeous wild
poppy dress, another which featured
in the simply You magazine which showcases the best of NZ fashion.
This cute indigo spot dress has a clever tuck design on the bodice
making it very flattering especially around the middle area. This dress
is $159.90 and is available in sizes 8 -16
Elm is a label that understands Kiwi women.
Their label is casual and not too clingy, ideal
for everyday wear. We have pictured the
Elm silhouette shift dress in vibrant green
print. This dress a straight through design so is
comfortable and easy to wear and is a good
length for most and is priced at $149.95.
Another light and pretty casual dress is this multi
coloured aztec print dress by Random fashions.
This dress is an easy shift shape and has a little
capped sleeve and is priced very reasonably at
$115. it looks great with a pair of white sneakers
or flats but pop on a pair of heels and it could
take you to a more formal event.
This is a small selection from the hundreds
of dresses we have on offer at Viva La
moda. see you soon to come and
have a try on!

Libraries to close for staff development
On Friday 13 October, Selwyn District Libraries and Service Centres will not open until 1pm to allow
library staff to attend a professional development session.
Selwyn Libraries and Service Centres Manager Vicki Carlyon says the libraries hold two staff training and
meeting sessions a year focusing on improving the service they provide for Selwyn residents.
“The agenda we have planned for the day will include programming for young people and children, delivery
of council services, working with the Community Services team and use of technology in libraries.”
While the closure occurs, people can still visit the library website (www.selwynlibraries.co.nz) to access
a range of online services including the library catalogue, eBooks, eAudio, eMagazines, databases and
other online services. Items can also be returned through the after-hours returns boxes outside libraries.
The Council’s Rolleston headquarters will still be open providing council services on 13 October. People
can also phone the council on 347 2800 or 318 8338 for assistance.
Levi Park – Have your say!
The Council is continuously looking to new concepts or initiatives to
ensure our playgrounds remain appealing and are engaging to the
youth of Selwyn.
As part of our drive to provide quality local playgrounds, the Council
gave permission for the Playground Centre to temporarily install
interactive technology at a local playground in Rolleston’s Levi Park
to see how the community adopts the new technology. The 90-
day trial will test the uptake of the technology and if it proves to be
popular, it could be added to other parks in the district, if there is
support from residents to do so.
The trial has no cost to the Council and no commitment has been
made to keep the technology beyond the trial.
How does the technology work?
The technology is developed by Biba Technologies, based in Canada.
Six augmented reality markers are now attached to the existing
playground equipment, which can be easily scanned by parents and
children to activate mini-games and unlock new play content aimed
at three to nine-year olds. Parents can download the games free
from the App Store or on Google Play, by searching for ‘playbiba’.
The park can still be used in a traditional way.
The technology has been developed to address the concerning
trend of decreased physical activity levels in children, and has been
successfully trialled in America and Canada. It gives parents another
option for encouraging active outdoor play, and supports them to
provide additional play experiences for children.
Let us know what you think
We’re running an online survey to gauge people’s interest in the
technology. Our consultation period begins Tuesday 3 October and
closes on 24 October. Information about the trial can be found on
our Facebook page and website. We will take on board all feedback
raised during the trial before making any decisions on whether the
technology is rolled out to any playgrounds in the district.
To learn more about Smart Playgrounds go to
playgroundcentre.com/smart-playgrounds/.
CultureFest attracts thousands
CultureFest 2017 was an outstanding success with around 3,000
people enjoying a range of performances from 20 different ethnic
and cultural backgrounds. The crowd enjoyed food from a range of
vendors each representing a different country. There were plenty of
craft, games and activities including Iranian hand crafts, Mah Jong,
Henna Tattoos, face painting, balloon art, highland games, Japanese
traditional games and Te Taumutu kiwiana products and craft.
The turnout from Selwyn residents, performers, ethnic and cultural
groups and food vendors showcased Selwyn’s growing diversity
and welcoming nature for newcomers and migrants.
ON THE
ROADS
On the roads this week
Stabilised seal repairs are occurring on Lincoln Tai Tapu Road. Shoulder works
will be occurring at Days Road, Shands Road and Goulds Road. Traffic controls will
be operating.
Digout repairs will be carried out on Blakes Road, Springs Road, Birchs Road and
Ellesmere Junction Road. Please stop on request at these sites.
Upgrade work including kerb and channel and seal widening is being done by the developer on the east
side of Springston Rolleston Road south of Lowes Road.
Footpath repairs will be occurring on Heathridge Place in Lincoln, the footpath will be closed during
these works.
Christchurch Southern Motorway Stage 2
A one-way system is now in place between the intersection of Waterholes Road and Hamptons Road
and 851 Waterholes Road. There will be no access to Main South Road from Waterholes Road. Traffic
will be detoured via surrounding local roads. This is to allow for the remaining seal to be undertaken on
the new temporary road at the intersection of Waterholes Road and Hamptons Road.
This work will take up to three weeks and is weather dependent. As soon as the seal is completed the
traffic management will be removed.

Country takes win against national team
• By Gordon Findlater
THE CANTERBURY Country
under-18 team got the rare
opportunity to play one of the
lesser known national schools
rugby sides at the weekend.
Country were too strong for
the New Zealand Barbarians
Area Schools, defeating them
47-22 at Southbrook Park in
Rangiora.
The Area Schools are chosen
from the top players in some of
the smaller, often rural areas of
New Zealand, who do not get the
chance to play in the top, higher
profile first XV competitions.
“That’s the first time we’ve
ever played them, and we didn’t
really know what to expect,” said
Country coach Glen Dunseath.
Country opted to give some
of their bench players a start in
the match but found themselves
trailing 5-17 early on.
By half-time Country had
gained the initiative and led 22-
17, before putting in a dominant
second half performance to
stretch the score to 47-22.
Country now turn their
focus to the South Island U-18
three day tournament, which is
beginning at Belfast Rugby Club
on Friday. “It’s a pretty short
SPORTS
turnaround for us going into
the tournament so having the
game on Saturday was great for
us rather than having a weekend
off,” said Dunseath.
Country suffered tight defeats
to Canterbury Metro and Tasman
in their northern section
pool games last month. They will
now face the top qualifier from
the southern pool in their opening
game on Friday.
The winner will go into the top
four playoffs, with the loser going
into the plate section.

Selwyn teams aim to knock off Sefton
Extended one
day season
gets under way
• By Gordon Findlater
THE CRICKET season starts on
Saturday with the opening round
of the Canterbury Country
premier one-day competition.
Selwyn’s four premier clubs –
Leeston-Southbridge, Weedons,
Lincoln and South Malvern
– will be looking to end the
dominance that Sefton showed
last season.
The North Canterbury club
won all three formats in last
season’s Canterbury Country
cricket competition. They
defeated Leeston-Southbridge in
both the one-day and twenty20
finals and Weedons in the twoday
final.
“Sefton will definitely be the
team to beat again but there’s a
number of teams that have what
it takes to win this competition,”
said Canterbury Country Cricket
Association cricket manager
Toby Doyle.
There has been a change in
format this summer.
The end of season two-day
competition has been scrapped
in favour of an extra one-day
round-robin.
“The decision came down to
the clubs, with a vote in favour of
ALL-ROUNDER: Lincoln’s Jeremy Benton (bowling) made his
way into the Canterbury side last summer after a string of
impressive displays.
PHOTOS: KAREN CASEY
moving to an extra round of the
45 over one-day competition,”
said Doyle, who also plays for
Leeston-Southbridge.
“It came down to a number of
factors. The majority of players
want to know they’re going to get
a bat and a bowl every Saturday.
Sometimes in the two-day
competition you can end up
spending a day just out fielding,”
said Doyle.
The one-day competition will
now see eight teams play each
other twice before splitting into
a top and bottom four before the
finals in March.
A twenty20 competition
will also be played over three
weekends in January.
Last season’s one-day competition top performers:
•Run scorers: Shannon Stewart (Southbrook), 451 runs,
150.33 average, 70.48 strike rate; Toby Doyle (Leeston-
Southbridge), 285 runs, 40.71 average, 63.47 strike rate;
Jeremy Benton (Lincoln), 234 runs, 58.50 average, 79.87

201 runs, 28.71 average, 83.75 strike rate; Simon Edwards
(South Malvern), 194 runs, 48.50 average, 115.52 strike rate.
•Wicket takers: Fergus Fairburn (Southbrook), 17 wickets,

Lincoln reaches high to
take national champs
• By Gordon Findlater
LINCOLN UNIVERSITY
women’s basketball solidified
their national dominance by
winning the national tertiary
basketball championship at
Cowles Stadium last week.
Their 60-46 win over Victoria
University of Wellington in
the final handed the Lincoln
women their second title of the
year after they took out the 3x3
tertiary title in April.
The team were dominant
throughout last week’s tournament.
They went through pool
play undefeated with wins over
University of Waikato (71-50),
University of Otago (67-50),
and Victoria University (55-
41). They then accounted for
Auckland University of Technology
56-45 in the semi-final.
The team stepped up in the
final with standout performances
from Connie Poletti
(17points, 10 rebounds), Sophie
Schrader (14 points, 3 assists),
and Bianca Malifa (11 points, 4
assists).
The Lincoln men came
agonisingly close to also doing
a clean sweep in the tertiary
basketball. They won the 3x3
title in April but were pipped

The men had two wins and a

both named in the women’s

Bathurst dream comes
true for Prebbleton driver
A DREAM will become reality
for Prebbleton’s Jack Milligan
when he races a Toyota 86 sports
coupe at the Bathurst 1000 this
week.
Milligan, 21, has had a
challenging few years battling
his way through karts and RX7
racing to eventually secure the
second CareVets scholarship
car in last season’s Toyota 86
Championship.
A win and a brace of podium
finishes marked him as a standout
talent and he finished his first
season in the category as 2016-
2017 rookie of the year.
Fellow New Zealand drivers
Scott McLaughlin, Fabian
Coulthard and reigning
Supercar champion Shane van
Gisbergen will likely be hogging
the limelight for Kiwi fans, but
Milligan hopes to turn a few
heads himself with his first trip to
the mountain.
He will be the only New
Zealander in the 36-plus field at
the Toyota 86s, which is one of
the main support classes for the
V8 Supercars. The 86 racing at
Bathurst begins on Thursday and
runs until Sunday.
Milligan secured the trip to
Bathurst to compete in this round
of the Aussie 86 series as part
of the New Zealand Toyota 86
championship prize pool.
Milligan will have just two
20min practice sessions and one
BATHURST-BOUND: Jack
Milligan will drive in the
Toyota 86 support races at
Bathurst this week.
20min qualifying session, which
will set the starting grid for the
first of three six-lap races over the
weekend.
The Australian cars are slightly
different to the New Zealand
specifications.
“It’s a huge challenge, but I am
used to those,” said Milligan.
“I’ll also have to learn the
circuit, but it’s a place we all
dream about racing and I still
pinch myself that I have this
opportunity.
“I’m still a long way from the
top, but racing at Bathurst gives
me a clear view of the summit
and where I want to be. It’s a
golden opportunity and one I
intend to take with both hands.”

Local scouts seeking support
for ‘monster garage sale’
Globally, scouting has a membership of
over 31 million scouts and adult leaders.
New Zealand has over 20,000, with 65 of
those in West Melton.
Group leader of the West Melton Scout
Group Kyle Stewart says nine leaders
volunteer their time to ensure they can
provide “an exciting and active programme
to instill a sense of pride and self worth into
each of the youths, and to help set them up
to handle life”.
“Funding comes directly from the
members of the group and the general
community,” Kyle says. “Every two years
we hold our monster garage sale with
goods donated by you, the locals, to help us
provide funds to keep the group running.
We are very privileged to have such
generous neighbors in our community,
many of whom have been, or are, involved
in scouting.
“Now in our 53rd year as a group, we
have had many fantastic leaders, hundreds
of youth, we have been involved in local
and wider community projects – most
recently planting native trees to help D.O.C.
rehabilitate the Waimakariri river bed – we
have attended Jamborees in New Zealand
and even some international ones,” he says.
“At our 50th anniversary celebration
we showcased our talents to the wider
community with a campfire and
involvement in the West Melton 150th.”
The philosophy for scouts is ‘Youth
at the centre’, and in New Zealand the
organisation is working on the ‘Better
Prepared’ principle. Kyle says the youth
are more involved than ever in the makeup
of the programme, and to an extent are
beginning to run it themselves.
“As we move into the digital age we are
coming across new challenges for our
youth, but are always able to reference our
core values ‘Have Respect, Do what is right
and be positive’,” he says.
“With our garage sale coming up, we are
still looking to the community for support
with donations of good-quality items that
we can sell. We are very much a volunteer
based organisation and appreciate all and
any help we can get.”

Backyard Critters
Bugs dine on cabbage tree
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
ONE OF the 10 native insect
species dependent on the
cabbage tree as a host is the
mealybug balanococcus
cordylinidis.
The 5mm long mealybug is
a waxy grey critter that lives in
between the leaf base and the
stem of the cabbage tree where
leaf litter accumulates to create a
moist micro-environment.
Mealybugs are sucking insects
like aphids and can cause death
to plants or trees when in high
densities or when they transmit
viruses.
Tree symptoms include leaf
discolouration, wilting and
sometimes death.
Parting of the leaves at the
base will often reveal the culprits,
but fortunately there is a
saviour in the form of a syrphid,

a native predatory larva of the

This predator can gobble up
mealybugs and allow the cabbage
tree to recover.

the organising committee is
busy working behind the scenes
to make sure the show will be

Show president Doug Michael
said things have changed in
Ellesmere over the last 10 or so
years.
He said it is time to get the
community spirit back into show
day and celebrate diversity not
just in agriculture, but also in
Ellesmere’s demographic, culture
and sports.
Organised by Sport Canterbury,
students are challenged to
take part in a number of teambased
activities and challenges
modelled on the New Zealand
television series Top Town.
Students will compete for cash
for their school on an activity
circuit and in obstacle stations
in the show’s main ring. Sport

Fruit & veggie growers
join social media
Global interest in the story behind healthy,
fresh food has inspired Horticulture New
Zealand to start an Instagram page, where
people can better get to know the fruit
and vegetable growers of New Zealand,
Horticulture New Zealand, chief executive
Mike Chapman says.
Since going live last Tuesday, Growers of
New Zealand (@growersofnz) has already
sparked interest in New Zealand and
around the world.
Each week a grower will be profiled at
work, and the seasonal crop they have
been working with will be highlighted in a
recipe.
“Social media is a great way to reach a
wide and engaged audience who want to
find out more about their food and the
people who grow it,” Mr Chapman says.
“Instagram is really the social media of
foodies, travellers and influencers, and of
course, it is very visual which is perfect for
healthy food.
“But it is no longer just the food people
are interested in. Increasingly people want
to know their food has been produced in a
sustainable way, with well-protected labour.
“New Zealand fruit and vegetable growers
have a great story to tell. Many run intergenerational
family businesses where three
or four generations of the same family have
been caring for the land. They understand
environmental sustainability from years
of record keeping and experience. As the
generations change, more science and
technology is applied and in horticulture
we have businesses at the cutting edge of
healthy food production,” Mr Chapman
says.
“Growers of New Zealand can also tell
our international audience more about New
Zealand fresh fruit and vegetables, given
that we export to 124 markets and there
is interest in organic growing worldwide,
which is another New Zealand strength.
“Recipes are always popular on social
media, as people look to healthier eating
and want daily inspiration and advice.
We will be promoting what is in season
at the time and therefore readily available
and affordable, and also will be profiling
the lesser- known fruits and vegetables
to encourage people to broaden their
horizons.
“Horticulture is growing rapidly and we
need to attract more people into careers.

New R&D centre to develop
food technology expertise
Mill processing company Synlait is
establishing a research and development
centre in Palmerston North to continue
building expertise and capability in food
technology.
“Our goal is to become more profitable
and diversified. Investing in our own
research and development centre is an
opportunity to explore new and unique
ways to make the most from milk,”
managing director and CEO John Penno
says.
“We will be developing intellectual
property across our value chain, which
aims to maximise value at every step,
beginning behind the farm gate all the way
through to providing market access for our
customers.”
Partnering with Massey University and
FoodPILOT, one of the New Zealand
Food Innovation Network’s four hubs, the
new Palmerston North centre will be colocated
at the forefront of innovative food
technology research and commercialisation
in New Zealand.
Synlait’s research and development
centre will concentrate on new product
development, process technology and
packaging.
“We are serious about growing our
research and category development
capability and plan to double our
investment over the next two years,” Mr
Penno says.
“Our commitment this financial year will
be around $7 million, and our investment
in Palmerston North is a major milestone
on this journey.
“This is the first step for us as we progress
towards new products, categories and
markets in the future. We will need our
capability in this area to continue evolving
so we stay ahead of the game.”
General manager of innovation and
technical services Roger Schwarzenbach
says Synlait will have access to some of the
best scientific, technical and commercial
minds and equipment in this field.
“It’s the perfect environment for our new
team to explore options for diversifying
our business, both at a product and process
level.”
Initially the centre will employ food
technologists and engineers.
Working closely with other teams at
Synlait Dunsandel, they will also have
access to some of the most sophisticated
equipment and processing technology in
the world.
“As one of New Zealand’s fastestgrowing
companies, our people have the
opportunity to directly impact decisions we
make. We will recruit a team in Palmerston
North who aren’t afraid of a challenge
and really want to make their mark,” Mr
Schwarzenbach says.
“This centre will have a real impact
on Synlait’s future. The team will help
us launch new high-returning dairy
categories, bring new product options to
market and contribute to ever-improving
product quality.”

BLOOMS: If pink
isn’t your colour try
a mixed bundle of
petunia seedlings.
It’s hard to go past pretty petunias
If you’ve got an area in your garden
where you want to create a mass of
colour, you can’t go past petunias.
They are prolific bloomers that, if
looked after, will continue to flower all
summer.
You can choose from plain purple,
red, pink or white. How about purple
with dashes of white like on the
primetime violet star?
Or the duo red and white variety
which, like the name suggests, produces
a beautiful mixture of red and white
flower?
Not sure what colour to select? Then
try a mixed bundle.
Don’t have a big garden to fill with
bedding flowers? Don’t worry about
that either. All petunias really need to
flourish is a sunny, free-draining spot.
They grow equally as well in pots and
hanging baskets making them perfect
for just about any garden.
Once you’ve selected your seedlings
and sunny spot to plant, simply dig
small holes, around 3cm deep and
25cm apart, and plant.
Be sure to watch out for slugs or trying
using our beer bait. It also pays to
keep an eye out for aphids. If you spot
these pesky pests, a general insecticide
or spray of organic alternative, neem
oil will sort that problem.
And make sure to keep them watered.
If you’re not sure how thirsty
they are, stick your finger in the soil
2cm deep. If the soil is dry, they will
need a drink.
Then sit back and wait just four to
six weeks for your beautiful petunias
to bloom. Remember to pick off dead
heads to encourage re-flowering.
Planting out
veggie seedlings
If you have been growing seedlings inside, it will
soon be time to plant them out into the garden
or raised bed that you have prepared. Firstly we
need to do something called “hardening off”. This
process is used to slowly introduce your seedlings
that have been growing inside, to the elements.
This process helps to give them a better chance
at survival, and adapting to the big changes from
being inside.
At this time of the season, about 3 to 5 days
outside in a sunny spot is enough to harden-off
plants before transplanting. The sunlight will
What is transplant shock?
Transplant shock is a term that is used to
describe the stresses that can occur on plants
that are being transplanted. It includes failure
of the plant to root well in the ground, meaning
that its chances of survival are reduced. Here are
some tips to help reduce stress:
• Disturb the roots as little as possible
• Bring as much of the root system as possible
• Water thoroughly after
• Always make sure the root ball stays moist
strengthen the stems
and cell walls, which
will reduce transplant
shock. It is best to then
plant the seedlings
into the garden or
planter in the early
evening.
Make sure you give them a water
once you have finished planting. This process will
be great for the seedlings such as corn, zucchini,
pumpkin, cucumber, tomatoes, and lettuces.

Dahlias for summer colour
• By Paul Hoek
DAHLIAS ARE one of the best value garden
plants for summer colour.
Planted in spring, they will flower from
December right through summer to late
autumn.
Native to Mexico and first introduced
into Europe in the 1600s, dahlias have been
so extensively cross-bred over hundreds of
years that the dahlia family now includes a
large range of flower types, plant sizes and
every colour imaginable.
Dahlias are sorted into main groups according
to their flower shape.
The most common types are the cactus
dahlia, with a spiky appearance and
decorative dahlias which include a range
of forms from tight ball-shaped flowers
through to more open forms called water
lily dahlias. As well as these two, other
common types include dwarf forms ideal
for borders or potting, and single flowered
forms.
Dahlias prefer a full sun location, but
will tolerate some shade. Drainage is very
important as the tubers do not like being
water logged for any length of time. In
high rainfall or wet areas they can easily be
grown by using slightly raised beds to help
with drainage.
Plant the tubers with the crown just
below the surface of the soil and water in.
Little attention is required during growing
other than to make sure they’re watered if
conditions get quite dry.
Removing old flower heads will keep the
BOLD: Dahlias come in a large range of types, sizes and colours.
plants looking tidy and helps the plant to
keep flowering to the end of the season.
The flowers can be picked for indoor use
but will not continue to open off the plant,
so should be picked only when they are
open already.
Dahlia plants go through different stages
of growth depending on the day length.
During long day length in mid-summer
the plants produce a lot of top growth and
flowers. Decreasing day length during
autumn triggers the plants into tuber production
below the ground.
The tubers prepare the plant for winter
dormancy and store energy ready for
growing again next spring.

IT’S TIME FOR THE SPRING FLING
For the seventh year running, people will again flock to the
Ellesmere Spring Fling.
The Ellesmere Spring Fling is the crème de crème of fetes.
Held in the most beautiful garden – David Hobbs’ award
winning Broadfield Garden – this is no ordinary affair.
“The Spring Fling is a wonderful day out,” says Janice
Burnett who is Chairperson of Community Care Lincoln.
Whether you are a keen gardener wanting inspiration,
looking for quality items to enjoy or tuck away for Christmas
or simply keen on having a good time, this event promises
plenty.
Wander through the diverse garden and around the superb
gathering of stalls selling everything from fresh produce,
food, drink (wine and beer will be available), artisan arts
and crafts to plants. Find a place to relax under the shade
of a tree or bask in the sun listening to live music while
partaking of a snack, lunch, Devonshire tea or beverage.
David Hobbs, whose garden fills ten acres and is of such
a high standard that it has both national and international
recognition, will once again offer garden tours. You will
have the chance to learn about the plants growing at
Broadfield Gardens while garnering some green thumb
tips from the expert himself.
With the focus this year on gardening, you will be inspired
by the marvellous gardens David has created and have the
chance to learn more about gardening with demonstrations
presented by horticultural experts.
“We’re so happy to once again have Intelligro as our
principal sponsor,” says Vanessa Thompson, organiser of
the Spring Fling.
She advises that the Intelligro team will be there to help
with any queries and give people advice about what they
should be doing in their gardens at this time of year.
As sole fundraiser Lincoln Community Care Association Inc.
(LCC), the Ellesmere Spring Fling is fully a volunteer affair.
Special thanks can also be given to the amazing support
of Lincoln New World, Paper Plus at Hornby and Merivale,
Academy Signs, Susan and Tony Faulks, the Selwyn District
Council and Pub Charity Limited.
“We’re really grateful for the on-going community assistance
we receive and the work done by Lincoln Rotary members
who help in so many ways on the day,” adds Janice.
As usual, Future Leaders from Lincoln University, local
exercise and walking groups and Community Care’s
own staff, board members and volunteers will all be there
helping make it a fun day for all.
The Ellesmere Spring Fling is a country garden experience
not to be topped. It will be held this year, on Sunday, 8th
October from 11am until 4pm at Broadfield Garden,
250 Selwyn Road, Broadfield. Tickets can be purchased
prior to the event for $15 from New World Lincoln, Paper
Plus Hornby and at Community Care. Gate sales will be
available on the day at $20 for an adult with children free.

Building on a budget
Building your own home is one of the biggest investments of a lifetime and with
a few clever tips we show you how to make the most of what you can afford.
Get smart with your money to achieve
your dream home without compromising
on what’s really important.
Consider buying a large plot of land with
friends or family which you can split into
smaller lots. Many great
locations tend to cover
more ground, so get the
stunning harbour view
you dream of by sharing
the cost with someone you
don’t mind having as a
neighbour.
Opting for lowmaintenance
building
materials, like vinyl siding
and metal roofing saves in
the long run. Although
they may be more
expensive to install you
will save money on future
repairs, replacement or
repainting.
Using salvaged and recycled
materials and componentry
from the abundance of
demolition sites around the
city not only adds valuable
character to new builds, but
can save money, too.
For the safety and security
of your home, don’t skimp on structural
elements, doors and windows. Buy the
very best you can afford and, together
with your architect or builder, determine
other areas you could save on to allow for
a few luxuries.
It’s important not to waste valuable cash
on overbuilding. Look carefully at the
existing properties in the area and be
Deciding exactly
what you want
and then sticking with
it will ensure you stay
on budget, on time,
and all with
minimal stress.
aware that building a home that is bigger
and better than those of your neighbours
will not necessarily equate to a fair price
if and when it’s time to sell. instead, the
value of your build will be determined
by the lower-priced homes
around it.
The experience of a wellqualified
contractor is an
invaluable asset in any
building project. Not only
will you have recourse
should anything go wrong,
but their experience in
the industry means they
will have established
relationships with suppliers
and subcontractors, whom
they trust to deliver the best
workmanship possible.
Keep a close eye on
construction allowances as
your home is being built
to ensure you are getting
what you asked for and
what you paid for. if you
had initially agreed on
using a specific brand, for
example, then don’t settle
for less, unless you discuss
a cost adjustment with your
builder or contractor.
Many a building project has snowballed
out of control in the financial department
due to changes being made to the design
and materials once building is already
underway. Deciding exactly what you
want and then sticking with it will ensure
you stay on budget, within your expected
time frame, and all with minimal stress.

The House of the Year competition,

country’s top building companies involves
judging nominated new homes, show
homes, renovations and builders’ personal
homes from around the country.
Over 370 new builds and renovations
across New Zealand were assessed by a
panel of expert judges with award-winners
announced at regional events held during

achievement.”
This sentiment is shared by others in the Stonewood
organisation.
“To win these awards is particularly satisfying and
demonstrates our brand’s dedication to quality,” adds
Brent Stewart, Managing Director of Stonewood
Homes Nelson.
John Chow believes the Stonewood Homes’ success
at the awards, signifies the organisation’s continued
focus on building innovative quality homes.
Stonewood Homes have over 100 contemporary
and modern designs in their line-up, characterising
the New Zealand way of life where a sense space and

everyone in the Stonewood team, work tirelessly to
deliver outstanding homes.

Navigating the
multi-offer process
Whether you’re buying or selling a
property it’s a good idea to learn as much
as you can about the different methods
used in New Zealand. One that confuses
a lot of people is the multi-offer process,
where all interested prospective buyers are
encouraged to submit their best offer and
the seller can choose whichever one looks
most attractive.
“This process is designed to give all
potential buyers an equal shot,” explains
Real Estate Agents Authority chief
executive Kevin Lampen-Smith.
“The process is not like an auction where
an agreement is automatically formed
with a successful bidder. The seller is not
obliged or required to accept any particular
offer in this situation; they may accept one
offer, reject all offers, or choose to negotiate
further with one particular party.”
The actual form that a multi-offer process
takes can differ from agency to agency – it’s
not defined in law or set by the Real Estate
Agents Authority (REAA).
A multi-offer process can only be
described as such when there is more than
one offer in writing – a real estate agent
is not allowed to pretend that there are
genuine competing offers if they do not
exist.
“Agents are expected to clearly explain the
process and any relevant paperwork to all
Selwyn Times
EVERY TUESDAY inside Selwyn Times
prospective buyers and sellers,” Lampen-
Smith says.
“If you’re unsure about anything, ask
the agent to clarify it or seek advice from
your lawyer. It’s far better to do this at
the beginning than face confusion and
disappointment further down the track.”
All the offers are presented fairly in this
process and a real estate agent must not
favour one over another.
All prospective buyers should know that
they need to put their very best offer on the
table, Lampen-Smith says.
Some real estate agencies will hold on to
the first offer they receive while they check
for others, effectively creating a multi-offer
process.
“This may feel unfair if you think that
your offer should ‘win’ because it was
in first, but it’s worth remembering that
the agent is working for the seller. Their
primary responsibility is to get the seller
the best outcome, considering both price
and any conditions from buyers such as
settlement date or being subject to finance.”
If as a prospective buyer you are told
that a sale is a multi-offer process but the
situation later changes to a stand-alone
offer, you must be told about this and get
a chance to review your offer and submit a
new one.
How to give a multi-offer
process your best shot
1. Do as much homework on a property as
you can before making the offer so you
minimise any risks. This is important for
many reasons; not least because it may
help you eliminate some conditions and
help you determine what your ‘best’ offer
will be.
2. When thinking about the offer, it’s worth
considering how you would feel if you
found out that a higher offer had been
accepted ahead of yours. If you think you
would be prepared to pay more, then it’s
better to make that decision at the start
than when it’s too late.
3. There is often confusion around
timeframes in a multi-offer process,
especially if a potential buyer thinks they
are the only people who are interested.
Talk to the real estate agent marketing
the property to make sure you are clear
about any deadlines and about the sale
process as a whole.
4. Remember that the highest offer is not
always the winner. If you were a seller,
would you prefer a higher offer or one
with fewer conditions? It’s impossible to
guess what kind of offer will suit a seller’s
particular circumstances, but it’s a good
idea to eliminate as many barriers to a
swift and easy sale as you can.
5. Want to get in early? Include an expiry
time on your offer. This kind of sunset
clause means the agent must present it to
the seller so they can consider it before it
expires.
