LINCOLN’S HANNAH Bates<br />

is a national champion after<br />

winning her first open swimming<br />

title at the NZ Short Course<br />

Championships in Auckland.<br />

Bates, 17, finished the five-day<br />

event with a gold medal in the<br />

open 400m individual medley<br />

and a bronze medal in the open<br />

<strong>10</strong>0m individual medley.<br />

“I didn’t think I was going<br />

to come up here and win an<br />

open title, so to do it was pretty<br />

amazing,” said Hannah.<br />

She went into Friday’s 400m<br />

individual medley final with<br />

confidence after setting the fastest<br />

qualifying time. She showed<br />

no signs of cracking under pressure<br />

of the big stage, shaving<br />

two and a half seconds off her<br />

previous best time in the event<br />

to win in 4min 48.92sec, more<br />

than two seconds ahead of her<br />

nearest rival.<br />

It was a busy week for Bates,<br />

who competed in 17 individual<br />

races and three team relays. She<br />

also won a gold, four silver and<br />

two bronze medals in the 17-18<br />

year age category.<br />

Bates’ preparation for the<br />

championships was not ideal.<br />

Six weeks ago she came down<br />

with a stomach bug which<br />

forced her to miss a week of<br />

training.<br />

Another<br />

twist in<br />

Lincoln’s<br />

parking<br />

issues<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

LINCOLN’S CAR parking issues<br />

have taken another twist with<br />

painted reserved signs outside a<br />

line of shops now having to be<br />

removed.<br />

The signs on car parks outside<br />

an Indian restaurant, Subway,<br />

hairdresser, dairy and coffee shop<br />

read ‘Reserved shops 5 Robert St’<br />

were put in 12 days ago.<br />

But the district council says<br />

the signs cannot stay as the shops<br />

do not have exclusive use of the<br />

car parks, which have 120min<br />

restricted parking signs on them.<br />

Building owner Shaun Stockman<br />

told the <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> he<br />

had put in the signs as a response<br />

to clamping and tow away signs<br />

put up by the Black Door Bar and<br />

Eatery on the other side of Robert<br />

St in June.<br />

He said the Black Door’s patrons<br />

were taking up the car parks<br />

outside the shops.<br />

Those signs were removed<br />

several weeks ago. The district<br />

council ruled the Black Door did<br />

not have exclusive rights on the<br />

parks outside its premises.<br />

Hard-up Lincoln Uni<br />

paid out $72,000 to recruit boss<br />

• By Bridget Rutherford<br />

A CASH-STRAPPED Lincoln<br />

University spent more than<br />

$70,000 recruiting its new vicechancellor,<br />

it can be revealed.<br />

The university paid out<br />

$72,431 to find and hire vicechancellor<br />

Robin Pollard from<br />

England, who was appointed<br />

in January last year while the<br />

institution was facing a $5 million<br />

deficit. Lincoln University<br />

refused<br />

to release the<br />

cost when<br />

asked in<br />

September last<br />

year, citing<br />

commercial<br />

sensitivity.<br />

Robin Pollard<br />

That ruling<br />

was appealed<br />

to the Ombudsman<br />

and Lincoln has now<br />

released the figure.<br />

Chancellor Steve Smith said<br />

yesterday Lincoln was not hiding<br />

Prof Pollard’s recruitment<br />

figure last year.<br />

However, the university<br />

did release the $86,540 cost<br />

of recruiting previous vicechancellor<br />

Andy West, who<br />

resigned in 2015 amid concerns<br />

REVEALED: Lincoln University has released the cost of<br />

recruiting vice-chancellor Robin Pollard.<br />

he overspent on consultants.<br />

At the time, Lincoln indicated<br />

Prof Pollard’s was less than that.<br />

Last week Mr Smith was<br />

unable to provide a breakdown<br />

of what made up the Pollard<br />

recruitment cost.<br />

Mr Smith said at the time the<br />

“significant interest” was with<br />

Dr West’s appointment, and it<br />

wouldn’t have been appropriate<br />

to release Prof Pollard’s cost<br />

they would have done it in a<br />

Freedom campers have negative<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

LITTER, DEFECATING, overcrowding,<br />

fire lighting and antisocial<br />

behaviour are key issues<br />

identified as negative impacts<br />

freedom camping are having on<br />

the district.<br />

The issues have been identified<br />

as part of a report exposing the<br />

impacts freedom camping has on<br />

the district.<br />

Observations into the environmental<br />

impacts of freedom<br />

camping were carried out at<br />

Chamberlains Ford and Whitecliffs<br />

Domain.<br />

It found high amounts of litter,<br />

especially at Chamberlains Ford<br />

with rubbish varying from supermarket<br />

bags to toilet paper with<br />

plastic being the most common<br />

type of litter.<br />

Large amounts were found<br />

behind the Chamberlains Ford’s<br />

toilet block.<br />

But research findings suggested<br />

freedom campers were either<br />

not aware of the litter issues and<br />

it was identified it needed to be<br />

addressed.<br />

High volumes of freedom<br />

camping can be attributed to the<br />

excessive amounts of litter.<br />

Mayor Sam Broughton said<br />

the issues identified in the<br />

report were the reason freedom<br />

camping was getting a bad<br />

name.<br />

But he said these problems<br />

were generally caused by a minority<br />

of campers.<br />

Mr Broughton said the district<br />

council had done a lot to support<br />

freedom camping and there are<br />

signs and infrastructure in place<br />

so people can dispose responsibly.<br />

He said the district council<br />

recently asked for further funding<br />

to improve toilet facilities in<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong>.<br />

The report showed high<br />

numbers with records of visitor<br />

numbers between November and<br />

March showing 4504 vehicles<br />

parked at Chamberlains Ford<br />

equating to about 125 vehicles a<br />

night.<br />

At Coes Ford 2327 were recorded<br />

over the same period.<br />

PROBLEMS:<br />

Large amounts<br />

of litter were<br />

found at<br />

Chamberlains<br />

Ford,<br />

particularly<br />

behind the<br />

toilet facilities. ​<br />

The report stated freedom<br />

camping is no longer a seasonal<br />

activity but occurs throughout<br />

the year.<br />

Other findings were incidents<br />

of fires lit at Lakeside Domain<br />

and Coes Ford, freedom campers<br />

defecating in grass reserves and<br />

campsites and reports of antisocial<br />

behaviour from police and<br />

residents.<br />

Noticeable amounts of tissue<br />

and toilet paper were found at<br />

Chamberlains Ford and Whitecliffs<br />

Domain, particularly in<br />

areas furthest away from toilet<br />

facilities.<br />

The report said visitors said<br />

there are frequent quests to the<br />

toilets.<br />

Anti-social behaviour is most<br />

common at Chamberlains Ford<br />

and Coes Ford.<br />

Examples include assaults, dogs<br />

not on leads, drunken behaviour,<br />

excessive noise and inappropriate<br />

use of motor-cycles, four-wheeldrive<br />

vehicles and quad-bikes.<br />

Concern was also raised in the<br />

report from visitors interviewed<br />

about the state of the <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s<br />

rivers.<br />

About 15 per cent of visitors at<br />

Chamberlains Ford, Coes Ford<br />

and Whitecliffs commented on<br />

the state of the rivers without<br />

being asked.<br />

The report was compiled over<br />

last year’s Christmas holiday<br />

period and released to the public<br />

by the district council last week.<br />

It was first presented to the district<br />

council as part of an internal<br />

briefing to its councillors.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> reported it would<br />

not be released because district<br />

council staff were discussing<br />

the results with neighbouring<br />

councils.<br />

Key findings from the<br />

report:<br />

•84 per cent of sample were<br />

international visitors from 26 different<br />

counties.<br />

•Most were German (47 per<br />

cent) and French (14 per cent).<br />

•Most under 30. Majority of<br />

age was 18-21 years.<br />

•Chamberlains Ford and Coes<br />

Ford were the most popular<br />

destinations.<br />

Freedom campers were<br />

attracted to <strong>Selwyn</strong> by:<br />

•The proximity to Christchurch<br />

(<strong>Selwyn</strong> closest alternative).<br />

•Excellent reviews of facilities.<br />

•Influenced by apps, for example<br />

CamperMate (71 per cent).<br />

Other reasons for staying<br />

in the district:<br />

•Trying to avoid ‘hassle’ of<br />

booking accommodation.<br />

•Dislike rules associated with<br />

hostels and paid campgrounds.<br />

•Enjoy spending time in nature/rural<br />

environments.<br />

•Highly cost conscious.<br />

•Conserve money for attractions.<br />

Other insights:<br />

•Many knew little about<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> and the tourist experiences<br />

on offer.<br />

•Christchurch and Banks Peninsula<br />

are more popular tourist<br />

destinations.<br />

Main interests are:<br />

•Natural attractions, independent<br />

tramps and wildlife<br />

encounters.<br />

Freedom camper selfperceptions:<br />

•They were familiar with the<br />

term ‘freedom camper’.<br />

•They knew the term had negative<br />

connotations.<br />

•They mainly associated with<br />

other international visitors, and<br />

‘grey nomads’ (older independent<br />

campers).<br />

•Grey nomads are unhappy<br />

about negative association/connotations.<br />

•HAVE YOUR SAY: What<br />

do you think of freedom<br />

camping in <strong>Selwyn</strong>? Email<br />

your views to georgia.<br />

oconnor@starmedia.kiwi<br />

Other findings:<br />

•Observations at Chamberlains Ford and Whitecliffs<br />

yielded a high incidence of litter, especially plastics, and<br />

especially at Chamberlains Ford; the campsite with the<br />

heaviest concentration of visitors and the highest proportion<br />

of international visitors.<br />

•Chamberlains Ford was also rated highly by visitors for<br />

cleanliness/tidiness. These insights either suggest that<br />

visitors are not noticing the amount of litter or feel ambivalent<br />

towards it.<br />

•Two per cent of respondents who completed the visitor<br />

survey said they used nature/waterways as a toilet – this<br />

figure might have been under reported by the respondents;<br />

•The term ‘freedom camper’ has been hijacked, and is<br />

synonymous with young international (not domestic) visitors<br />

who typically tour the country in a non-self-contained<br />

van that they use to sleep in.<br />

•Ratepayers have a tendency to negatively stereotype<br />

the young international tourists who travel the country in<br />

non-self-contained vehicles, and view them as bludgers.<br />

•Ratepayers view the district council as proactively<br />

managing the situation locally by largely keeping freedom<br />

campers contained to the designated areas. Interestingly,<br />

ratepayers were largely unaware of the large amounts of<br />

litter currently at Chamberlains Ford.<br />

•Strong concerns were raised about the Te Araroa walkers<br />

defecating in the wild due to a lack of toilet facilities,<br />

the loss of traditional rights for fishermen to freedom<br />

camp at Lake Coleridge, Lake Selfe and Ryton Bay, and<br />

road safety issues at Chamberlains Ford.<br />

Mr Stockman said he<br />

had permission to put the<br />

signs in on the basis of a<br />

phone conversation he had<br />

with a duty planner.<br />

However, the district<br />

council’s environmental<br />

services manager Tim Harris<br />

said the district council<br />

never gave permission for<br />

the signage.<br />

The district council’s position<br />

is that no public car<br />

park can be reserved for<br />

private or individual retail<br />

outlets use without prior<br />

agreement with it, he said.<br />

Said Mr Stockman: “I<br />

have since had a discussion<br />

with the district council<br />

and have agreed in the<br />

interest of everybody to<br />

remove them,” he said.<br />

In the interim Mr<br />

Stockman was unaware the<br />

Black Door had removed<br />

its clamping and tow away<br />

signs.<br />

The painter contracted<br />

had been waiting for a<br />

break in the wet weather<br />

and when that arrived he<br />

went ahead with the job.<br />

The signs were to have<br />

been removed on Sunday<br />

but wet weather stopped it.<br />

Mr Stockman said he<br />

reserved the right to put<br />

signage back in again if<br />

any other business in the<br />

area decide to in the<br />

future.<br />

Lincoln businesses are<br />

Twist in Lincoln car parking issues<br />

as part of construction of a<br />

cycleway for the approved<br />

town centre plan.<br />

In a bid to address car<br />

parking issues in the<br />

area, the district council<br />

purchased a property in 16<br />

William St in July for offstreet<br />

parking.<br />

Mr Stockman said it is<br />

“absolutely crazy” to remove<br />

car parks on Gerald<br />

St for a cycleway.<br />

“You will kill jobs, kill<br />

livelihoods, take the lifeblood<br />

out of the place and<br />

you will ruin it, absolutely<br />

ruin it,” he said.<br />

A cyclist himself, Mr<br />

Stockman said he would<br />

rather cycle an alternative<br />

route such as North Belt<br />

than through the town<br />

Dogs return<br />

to libraries<br />

THE DISTRICT council<br />

libraries programme for term<br />

four is now open for bookings<br />

at the Leeston and Rolleston<br />

libraries.<br />

The programme encourages<br />

children to read to a friendly<br />

dog, helping them gain greater<br />

confidence reading aloud, as well<br />

as developing literacy.<br />

Libraries manager Vicki<br />

Carlyon said feedback on the<br />

programme has been positive.<br />

“The volunteer dog owners<br />

selected by the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Dog<br />

Training Club have also enjoyed<br />

contributing to children’s reading<br />

progress and seeing the enjoyment<br />

both dogs and children<br />

take from their interactions.”<br />

Parent Catherine Nicol says<br />

the programme has encouraged<br />

her son Toby to read. “He won’t<br />

read at home, but says it’s fun<br />

patting the dogs”.<br />

The dogs have been carefully<br />

selected and are monitored by<br />

their handler.<br />

The free 15min sessions will<br />

continue to be available at Leeston<br />

and Rolleston on a fortnightly<br />

basis, with most taking place<br />

on the mobile library bus.<br />

Win a trip to the Melbourne Cup<br />

FLEMINGTON subdivision<br />

at Lincoln is named after<br />

one of the most famous<br />

racecourses in the world.<br />

So, to cap a good year,<br />

Lincoln’s version has decided<br />

to offer two lucky people<br />

the opportunity to visit<br />

Melbourne’s equivalent on<br />

November 7 to watch the<br />

famous race.<br />

Flemington developer<br />

Shane Kennedy, as well as a<br />

successful horse trainer, said<br />

the subdivision at Lincoln<br />

had strong demand this year,<br />

so as a way of thanks had decided<br />

to run a competition for<br />

two people to see this year’s<br />

Melbourne Cup.<br />

“We have organised flights<br />

from Christchurch leaving on<br />

the Monday and returning on<br />

the Wednesday, two nights’<br />

accommodation and access to<br />

a marquee located at the heart<br />

of Flemington Racecourse<br />

on the big day. There’s also a<br />

buffet lunch and refreshments<br />

included.<br />

“Entries are from our show<br />

home village and we intend<br />

to draw the lucky name out<br />

later in <strong>October</strong> to give them<br />

plenty of time to prepare,” he<br />

said.<br />

OPPORTUNITY: Developer Shane<br />

Kennedy points out two of the<br />

Bid to overcome sporting<br />

facility zoning snag<br />

• By Emily O’Connell<br />

A ROAD block, which is in the<br />

way of a Russian businessman’s<br />

plan to expand his Yaldhurst<br />

sporting facility, might be<br />

cleared today.<br />

Canterbury Sports Ltd director<br />

Slava Meyn, who moved to<br />

Christchurch in 2009, built the<br />

Yaldhurst Football Academy two<br />

years ago.<br />

He is now in the process of<br />

planning a bigger complex on<br />

the 20ha block of land, which<br />

would include a gymnastics<br />

indoor stadium, swimming pool,<br />

sport courts, and weights area.<br />

But the land he wants to develop<br />

is zoned Open Space Community<br />

Park under the district<br />

plan, which does not allow for<br />

buildings larger than <strong>10</strong>00 sq m.<br />

Mr Meyn wants the zoning<br />

to be changed to Open Space<br />

Metropolitan Facilities Zone, so<br />

he can progress the development<br />

as planned.<br />

Because Mr Meyn’s plans do<br />

not comply, the project could be<br />

delayed by up to five years with<br />

resource and building consent<br />

processes.<br />

City council staff have been<br />

looking into how it could change<br />

PROPOSED: A swimming<br />

complex like this is planned<br />

for the Yaldhurst facility.<br />

the zoning to allow the expansion<br />

to go ahead.<br />

They decided the best way to<br />

do so was through the Greater<br />

Christchurch Regeneration Act.<br />

Today, the city council’s regulatory<br />

performance committee<br />

will decide whether to ask staff<br />

to investigate a way of doing so<br />

through the Act, and to report<br />

back to city councillors.<br />

It would require working with<br />

Regenerate Christchurch and the<br />

department of prime minister<br />

and Cabinet.<br />

It comes just as McDonald’s<br />

has applied for resource consent<br />

to the city council to build a new<br />

restaurant and drive through opposite<br />

the sporting facility.<br />

The idea to speed up the<br />

zone-changing process has been<br />

supported by Sport Canterbury,<br />

Christchurch Netball Centre,<br />

Canterbury Basketball Association,<br />

Mainland Football,<br />

Canterbury Water Polo, Southern<br />

Districts Football Club,<br />

ChristchurchNZ, and Apollo<br />

Projects – Aquatic and Sporting<br />

Facilities, who all wrote to the<br />

city council asking it to help<br />

change the zoning.<br />

Wigram MP Megan Woods<br />

and Canterbury Employers’<br />

Chamber of Commerce chief<br />

executive Peter Townsend have<br />

also written in support of using<br />

the act to do so.<br />

Dr Woods said it has the<br />

potential to be a really good asset<br />

for western Christchurch but the<br />

community must be involved.<br />

“I think what we absolutely<br />

have to do is make sure that we<br />

get the views of the community<br />

in the process as well,” she said.<br />

The existing football facility<br />

has two full size artificial<br />

football pitches, four artificial<br />

mini-pitches, a full-size natural<br />

turf pitch, clubroom facilities,<br />

café, administrative offices,<br />

grandstand seating for about<br />

Hugh Paterson<br />

Retired vicar’s work in churches,<br />

Hugh Paterson, 83, has spent most of his life in<br />

Sheffield, working to help the community – both<br />

in the church and in the garden. He spoke to<br />

Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

How long have you lived in<br />

Sheffield for?<br />

I have lived here for 50 years.<br />

For 35 years I was the vicar of the<br />

Parish of Malvern. Then I retired<br />

and we bought the house and<br />

the parish bought a new vicarage<br />

down in Darfield. I take an<br />

occasional service at St Ambrose<br />

but not regularly. The parish<br />

consists of a number of churches.<br />

One at Courtenay, Kirwee, Darfield,<br />

Sheffield, Springfield and<br />

Arthur’s Pass.<br />

Is St Ambrose a significant<br />

building to Sheffield?<br />

Yes it is. It was built in the mid<br />

fifties. Over the years we have<br />

landscaped it and planted trees<br />

around it. It is a fairly attractive<br />

site.<br />

I understand you are heavily<br />

involved with planting projects<br />

and beautifying the township?<br />

Yes, I help do it. The community<br />

does it. We planted<br />

every year for the last <strong>10</strong> to 12<br />

years. We have planted between<br />

<strong>10</strong>00-2000 daffodils around the<br />

Sheffield-Waddington area each<br />

year. They don’t go very far. We<br />

like daffodils. They are easy to<br />

plant, and not a lot of trouble. As<br />

long as we can persuade Sicon<br />

not to have them mowed, they<br />

will continue flowering for a long<br />

time. They are along the railway<br />

line and we have the TranzAlpine<br />

going through so we try to<br />

make the place look attractive.<br />

You have been in Sheffield for<br />

a long time. What is so special<br />

about the place?<br />

We have glorious views of the<br />

mountains. A friend of mine<br />

who has spent time in the Himalayas<br />

has always maintained<br />

Sheffield has a better view of the<br />

mountains than he ever got in<br />

the Himalayas, because he was<br />

always up against them too close.<br />

Here you get the Canterbury<br />

Plains, and then you get to look<br />

into the mountains. It is a small<br />

pleasant, friendly place. It has a<br />

stimulating climate, although<br />

I wouldn’t say it is easy to live<br />

with. We get wind, nor-westers,<br />

rain and snow, so it is always<br />

varied. You have to be careful<br />

SACRED: Sheffield resident Hugh Paterson officiating at a marriage ceremony.<br />

what you plant.<br />

I understand you have been<br />

involved in planting projects<br />

in Sheffield for the upcoming<br />

commemorations for the Battle<br />

of Passchendaele?<br />

We have done planting projects<br />

for the <strong>10</strong>0 th anniversary of<br />

the start of World War 1, at the<br />

cenotaph. We have commemorated<br />

the beginning of World<br />

War 1, the <strong>10</strong>0 th anniversary of<br />

Anzac Day and the <strong>10</strong>0 th anniversary<br />

of the Battle of the<br />

Somme. This Thursday we will<br />

celebrate the <strong>10</strong>0 th anniversary<br />

of the Battle of Passchendaele.<br />

And that consists of placing a<br />

cross with details of the battle on<br />

it and planting a Gallipoli oak<br />

at the cenotaph. The Gallipoli<br />

oaks come from the oak tree at<br />

the Bridge of Remembrance in<br />

Christchurch. Douglas Deans,<br />

of the original Deans family<br />

who fought at Gallipoli, sent<br />

acorns from the battle to his<br />

mother. She planted them and<br />

one was planted at the Bridge<br />

of Remembrance. Our family<br />

has collected acorns from there<br />

and grown them on our private<br />

gardens. Sheffield Contributing<br />

School will attend. They will sing<br />

for us and their kapa haka group<br />

will be present. Their community<br />

group will participate and<br />

we will have a cup of tea back at<br />

the school.

OUT AND ABOUT: Hugh Paterson helping the community with planting projects. He and late<br />

wife Ena ran a business which sold pine plants from the mountains around the world.<br />

plants from the mountains. We<br />

used to sell them all around the<br />

world. They went everywhere.<br />

The funds from that were used to<br />

help the parish. Mainly Europe,<br />

the western side of America and<br />

sometimes Australia. They like<br />

these extraordinary New Zealand<br />

plants. It is some years now since<br />

we stopped doing it. It would<br />

now be difficult because of all the<br />

restrictions put on customs and<br />

biosecurity. We did it from 1980<br />

to about 2000. The name of the<br />

business was Southern Seeds, and<br />

it was based in Sheffield.<br />

Tell me about your wife, she<br />

was obviously interested in<br />

gardening as well.<br />

Yes, she was, but she was a<br />

professional botanist. We met at<br />

Canterbury University long ago. I<br />

was doing my theological studies.<br />

Did you always want to become<br />

a reverend?<br />

I don’t know about always, but<br />

it was something I decided on<br />

when I was at university. I first<br />

attended university in Dunedin.<br />

Then I came up to Christchurch,<br />

to the theological college, and<br />

completed a degree here in Canterbury.<br />

I was ordained in 1960<br />

and my wife and I were married<br />

in 1961. Those days we lived in<br />

Timaru. We moved to Hokitika<br />

and then we came to Sheffield.<br />

We got stuck in Sheffield.<br />

In your role as reverend did<br />

you go on any pilgrimages?<br />

No, I am not a travelling man.<br />

I have never owned a passport. I<br />

am not particularly interested in<br />

travelling.<br />

What do you see in the future<br />

for churches out Malvern way?<br />

They will always be here. They<br />

play a very important part in the<br />

community. They are one of several<br />

things that bring the community<br />

together, like the schools<br />

and the sports clubs.<br />

Do you have any children?<br />

I have three children. My eldest<br />

lives out here with me. My<br />

second child lives with his wife in<br />

Darfield and my youngest daughter<br />

lives in Springfield. They are<br />

all nearby – I am very lucky. The<br />

eldest one works for Colombo<br />

St Countdown, my second is a<br />

paramedic with St John and the<br />

youngest works in the library at<br />

Canterbury University.<br />

Do you have any other hobbies<br />

or interests?<br />

My main hobbies are gardening<br />

and reading. I just finished a<br />

book on the Battle of Passchendaele.

Council supports<br />

Rolleston Men’s Shed<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> District Council and the Rolleston Men’s Shed have formalised their partnership by signing<br />

the lease on the community group’s site at Dynes Road.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> Mayor Sam Broughton says the Council is looking forward to working closely with the<br />

group and supporting them in their community-focused projects.<br />

Rolleston Men’s Shed Chairman Stephen Rushton says they wouldn’t be where they are today<br />

without the help from the Council.<br />

“We are very grateful to the Council for providing the land, funding and technical support to help<br />

us get this idea off the ground. The staff have been so friendly and easy to work with,” he says.<br />

Since opening three years ago the Rolleston Men’s Shed has worked on numerous projects to<br />

benefit Rolleston and the wider community in <strong>Selwyn</strong>, including repairing the Rotary Club’s worn<br />

out lectern, creating the community book exchange box in Prebbleton, and designing, building<br />

and assembling a workshop for Rolleston Playcentre for children to play in.<br />

The Shed welcomes all who have an interest in technical ‘things’, such as doing projects around<br />

the <strong>Selwyn</strong> district, doing personal projects or simply fixing things. The Shed is a very social<br />

group, and each day starts with a cup of coffee or tea with other members.<br />

From starting with just five members it has now grown to around 65 members, who range from<br />

teenagers to retirees. The group is planning an expansion at their Dynes Road shed location.<br />

The Council is also supporting the establishment of new Men’s Shed groups in Darfield and Lincoln.<br />

Furry friends aid reading confidence<br />

After a positive response to the rollout of Paws for Reading, the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District Libraries programme is<br />

now open for bookings at Leeston and Rolleston libraries in term four.<br />

The programme encourages children to read to a friendly dog, helping them gain greater confidence<br />

reading aloud, as well as developing their reading literacy.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> Libraries Manager Vicki Carlyon says the programme has been very popular.<br />

“After running the Paws for Reading trial in term two and three this year we have been very pleased with<br />

the feedback we’ve received from children and their parents,” she says.<br />

“The volunteer dog owners selected by the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Dog Training Club have also enjoyed contributing<br />

to children’s reading progress and seeing the enjoyment both dogs and children take from their<br />

interactions.”<br />

Stanley (aged six) and Edward Goh (aged five), are brothers who have both attended Paws for Reading<br />

sessions at Rolleston Library. Stanley says he likes reading to the dogs because “the dogs listen and<br />

like my stories”.<br />

Edward’s favourite books to read to the<br />

dogs are books about cats. The boys’<br />

mother Heather Goh says the sessions are<br />

very beneficial to their reading confidence.<br />

“Reading to dogs has helped them a lot<br />

with their reading and I have noticed they<br />

are now more comfortable reading out<br />

loud,” she says.<br />

Dogs have been carefully selected and<br />

are monitored by their handler. Library<br />

staff members are also present during the<br />

sessions, however children are encouraged<br />

to read to the dog with minimal adult<br />

intervention.<br />

Bookings are open now for term four. Visit<br />

www.selwynlibraries.co.nz or contact your<br />

local library for more information.<br />

Marwan Sayeed (aged six) enjoys reading to Indy.<br />

ON THE<br />

ROADS<br />

Stay safe, stay informed this<br />

‘Get Ready Week’<br />

This week is Get Ready Week and this year's theme is Stay Safe,<br />

Stay Informed.<br />

Emergencies can happen anywhere, any time, and without warning.<br />

Make sure you and the people you care about are ready to get<br />

through by knowing the different ways to stay informed.<br />

During the week the Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency<br />

Management will be promoting the different ways people can stay<br />

informed during an emergency – which radio stations to listen<br />

to, which websites and social media to follow, the importance of<br />

getting to know your neighbours and checking if you can receive<br />

Emergency Mobile Alerts. We will be sharing some of these through<br />

the Council Facebook page so keep an eye out to ensure you’re<br />

prepared for the next emergency.<br />

SELWYN TIMES<br />

Your Local Views<br />

Readers respond to<br />

the <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> article<br />

on the district ranking<br />

as second in the country<br />

for most dangerous rural<br />

intersections. Readers<br />

were asked if they thought<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong>’s intersections were<br />

dangerous<br />

Steve Young – In response<br />

to your question on the front<br />

page of today’s <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong>,<br />

I would say no...and yes! I note<br />

that in the comments on the<br />

Kirwee intersection, most people<br />

draw attention to the fact that<br />

most drivers (most of whom are<br />

local) don’t stop at the stop signs.<br />

But I also note that there are no<br />

right-turn bays on any of the intersections<br />

on SH73 in <strong>10</strong>0km/h<br />

areas except the recentlycompleted<br />

one at Chatterton’s<br />

Rd. This is a clear breach of the<br />

national state highway standards.<br />

So normally, I would say it’s<br />

drivers that are dangerous, but<br />

I think I’m entitled to expect<br />

that state highways comply with<br />

national standards.<br />

Dave Saville – The one that<br />

I find really dangerous is where<br />

Halkett Rd joins the Main West<br />

Coast Rd (State Highway 73). I<br />

travel home from work each day<br />

between 5 and 6pm, when the<br />

traffic heading west is almost a<br />

solid stream of traffic. The traffic<br />

splits at this intersection, with<br />

between a quarter and a third<br />

of us turning off State Highway<br />

73 onto Halkett Rd. NZTA<br />

re-did the intersection a year<br />

or so ago, so it now has a STOP<br />

sign for traffic heading east, in<br />

to Christchurch, which works<br />

well. But, to the great surprise of<br />

those of us who use the intersection<br />

daily, they failed to make a<br />

turning bay for vehicles heading<br />

west, that wish to turn on to<br />

Halkett Rd. Trying to turn off<br />

State Highway 73 while in the<br />

midst of a traffic stream of tired<br />

commuters going at <strong>10</strong>0 km/pph,<br />

is a scary and risky affair. To<br />

compound the problem, the road<br />

verge (shoulder) is not especially<br />

good at this point, but has to<br />

cope with vehicles thundering<br />

along it to avoid the queue of up<br />

to three – four vehicles waiting<br />

to turn onto Halkett Rd. I am<br />

DANGER: The intersection of State Highway 73 and Courtney Rd in Kirwee.<br />

surprised that no one has been<br />

killed at this intersection (as far<br />

as I know). At the nearby, little<br />

used intersection, of Chattertons<br />

Rd with State Highway 73, NZTA<br />

have installed excellent turning<br />

bays for both east and westbound<br />

traffic. This has perhaps<br />

been paid for by newly consented<br />

quarries. We need to put pressure<br />

on NZTA to also do this at<br />

the Halkett, State Highway 73<br />

intersection. I visited the district<br />

council’s (“Assets” section) last<br />

month to alert them to the problem.<br />

They said to talk to NZTA,<br />

which I have yet to do.<br />

Tony Rondel – There is<br />

nothing dangerous about <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

intersections the problem we<br />

have is incompetent drivers who<br />

do not STOP at stop signs, do not<br />

know what the rules are regards<br />

to keeping to correct lane when<br />

turning at intersections, too busy<br />

on their electronic devices to<br />

spot what is happening in time,<br />

travelling far too close to other<br />

vehicles.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong>’ article on<br />

the Prebbleton Community<br />

Swimming Pool closure<br />

Steph Calcroft – We would<br />

hate to see the pool get demolished.<br />

We got the key last year<br />

for the first time. It was amazing<br />

to have a pool in Prebbleton<br />

where we can just pop down to<br />

after dinner on a lovely summer<br />

evening. It got the kids out from<br />

behind the ipads and televisions<br />

giving them much needed<br />

exercise. Also my children don’t<br />

go to Prebbleton School so for<br />

the first time since we have lived<br />

in Prebbleton they felt a since<br />

of belonging, being apart of the<br />

Prebbleton community, their<br />

community. It gave them to meet<br />

some children who live in their<br />

neighbourhood, as well as building<br />

their confidence in the water.<br />

Especially as the pool is very<br />

deep it lets them learn how to<br />

manage themselves in deep water<br />

in a very safe environment. The<br />

pool would be a great loss to the<br />

community. We certainly would<br />

miss it!<br />

Jeremy Calcroft – I am<br />

writing to express my concern<br />

about the closure of the Prebbleton<br />

School pool. I live in Prebbleton<br />

with my family. Last summer<br />

we had a key to the pool and<br />

used it, on average, three times<br />

a week over the pools season. It<br />

was great to have such easy access<br />

to the a great facility. Rather<br />

than having to go in the car we<br />

were able to bike or scooter down<br />

in less than <strong>10</strong> minutes. Over the<br />

holidays the children loved having<br />

a fun activity and a a good<br />

reason to get out of the house.<br />

Our favourite time was to pop<br />

down to the pool for an hour or<br />

so after dinner. Our children are<br />

typical of other children today<br />

and are drawn to wards tablets<br />

and other devices so it was awesome<br />

to have an activity on hand<br />

that got them active. Also, with<br />

such regular dips in the pool the<br />

children’s growth in confidence<br />

and ability in the pool was really<br />

noticeable. Being in a smaller<br />

setting, the pool has a really<br />

friendly atmosphere and we<br />

found that often the same family<br />

were at the pool at the same<br />

time as us. We met some of our<br />

neighbours from further down<br />

the street that we had not spoken<br />

to before and this increased the<br />

sense of community. We would<br />

dearly miss the pool if it were to<br />

close. Although there are council<br />

pools available, due to the travelling<br />

time, we just would not go<br />

swimming as often. There must<br />

be an alternative site available<br />

for the school to build on so that<br />

Prebbleton can keep the pool.<br />

PHOTO: ROSS KIDDIE<br />

Anne Bouterey – I understand<br />

the pool hasn’t been used<br />

since 2005, however it seems to<br />

be a policy of MoE to continually<br />

close school pools. I recall<br />

a time when every school had<br />

a pool or one to use not too far<br />

from their own school/home.<br />

To me it is a load of rubbish that<br />

the pool is too small for class<br />

teaching, unless of course a class<br />

of 40 plus is expected to be there<br />

altogether with one teacher.<br />

I would suggest just another<br />

excuse. As a young third former<br />

I actually taught lifesaving skills<br />

to older students at high school<br />

in a smallish pool (in cold water<br />

of course). The size is not the important<br />

thing, teaching children<br />

to stay afloat and get themselves<br />

along in the water is the beginning.<br />

Better swimming skills<br />

come once they have confidence<br />

and enjoy the water. We have a<br />

high rate of child drownings in<br />

the country which is unacceptable<br />

considering we are a narrow<br />

country surrounded by water.<br />

My wise mother, a non-swimmer,<br />

ensured we learnt to swim<br />

at an early age, the ministry and<br />

the district council need to be<br />

as sensible. It isn’t an option for<br />

some parents to transport their<br />

children to Rolleston, a closer<br />

community option needs to be<br />

available if lives are important.<br />

The MoE has an obligation to assist<br />

in this, the money would be<br />

well spent with fewer drownings<br />

or near drownings.<br />

Tuesday <strong>October</strong> <strong>10</strong> <strong>2017</strong> 17<br />

Sonja Ball – I have heard and<br />

now read about the Prebbleton<br />

Pool closure. Rather upset that<br />

it is happening as my family use<br />

this pool a lot . It’s local and nice<br />

and handy if you want to pop in<br />

for a quick dip or many throughout<br />

the day. The fee is really<br />

reasonable and it’s a nice place to<br />

be. With the addition of the life<br />

guards last year the general behaviour<br />

of the patrons has been<br />

great. And I am sure all the OSH<br />

requirements have been met. I<br />

am sure the rate payers would be<br />

interested and rather annoyed<br />

to know that the amount of<br />

money spent on the pool over the<br />

last few years is now effectively<br />

wasted. There has been new fencing,<br />

new and mended seating the<br />

exterior has been painted and the<br />

pool itself repaired and painted,<br />

there has been an alarm installed<br />

and a new entry system also the<br />

pump has had a few dollars spent<br />

on it as well. Not to mention<br />

the cost involved in getting a<br />

new water supply pipe installed<br />

so the pool and school can run<br />

separately. I am sure that the<br />

closure was in the wind before<br />

most of these costly upgrades<br />

were approved. I find it rather<br />

unusual that the school gets a<br />

new principal, and the pool gets<br />

closed. The school has not used<br />

the pool for many years now<br />

as the depth is a problem for children<br />

learning to swim. However<br />

this could be fixed with the use<br />

of those submersible platforms<br />

and a swim teacher coming on<br />

site rather than shipping 80 odd<br />

children off site. Also teachers<br />

are not allowed to teach children<br />

to swim as they are not qualified<br />

swim instructors – which is<br />

why many school children are<br />

bussed to purpose built pools<br />

with qualified instructors to<br />

have swim lessons. Prebbleton is<br />

expanding at a very quick pace,<br />

the school is land locked. I am<br />

sure that the addition of a few<br />

more class rooms will help but at<br />

some point the size of Prebbleton<br />

will outgrow the schools capacity<br />

again – then what? It’s all<br />

very well bowling the pool to<br />

add more classrooms but what<br />

about the outdoor space that is<br />

required legally for each child<br />

at some point this will also be<br />

outgrown. Why not relocate the<br />

school now to a bigger site that<br />

will accommodate the amount<br />

of children that will be in the<br />

area. Surely the MoE have done<br />

the figures. We could then keep<br />

the community pool and turn<br />

the school site into a few more<br />

residential plots and/or another<br />

sports field. The kindy may also<br />

need to expand. This pool has<br />

been run by the community for<br />

the community for many years<br />

and has been well supported.<br />

Can we squeeze one more season<br />

out before demolition starts – do<br />

we have a start date? It’s a shame<br />

that someone with a flick of a<br />

pen can take it all away. Shame<br />

also that the community has not<br />

been involved in this decision.<br />

Would love to see some more<br />

writing in the paper on local’s<br />

thoughts. I would like to hope<br />

you have a great response, but it<br />

may be a battle too big to take on<br />

for the community.<br />

A reader responds to the<br />

Lincoln comedy show at<br />

the weekend<br />

Bob Lineham – On Saturday<br />

my wife and I attended the Live<br />

in Lincoln Comedy Show. We<br />

enjoy good comedy and wanted<br />

to support this local event which<br />

had been widely publicised. We<br />

were very disappointed with the<br />

predominance of foul language<br />

and lack of content other than<br />

almost total emphasis on sex.<br />

Whatever happened to genuine<br />

comedy with talented comedians<br />

who can make an audience laugh<br />

without the repetitive use of one<br />

particular offensive four-letter<br />

word through a show? I can tolerate<br />

the odd borderline joke but<br />

this performance was in very bad<br />

taste and I am very glad we did<br />

not invite others to attend with<br />

us. Can our top comedians not<br />

come up something better than<br />

that or this a reflection on the<br />

low state of society today?<br />

Serving up new courts<br />

THE FIRST ball has been served<br />

in celebration of the opening<br />

Weedons.<br />

Weedons Tennis Club celebrated<br />

the opening of its three<br />

new courts recently with a formal<br />

gathering of tennis players, guests<br />

and community members.<br />

The tennis courts have been<br />

moved and realigned to allow<br />

for a larger cricket oval for the<br />

Weedons Cricket Club as part of<br />

the community pavilion redevelopment.<br />

The opening was held at<br />

Weedons Reserve with the event<br />

organised by the club’s secretary<br />

Julie Cockburn.<br />

The first serve was made by<br />

Stratton Construction owner Andrew<br />

Stratton, who with his team<br />

of workers constructed the tennis<br />

courts, fencing and volley board.<br />

It was attended by district<br />

councillor Jeff Bland, who spoke<br />

about the unique area and<br />

how the community can enjoy<br />

Weedons.<br />

Weedons Reserve Committee<br />

chairman Peter Holmes spoke<br />

about the hard work reserve<br />

members had put into the facility<br />

and the great facilities available<br />

for tennis, cricket and golf.<br />

• By Andrew King<br />

LINCOLN HIGH’S Brooke<br />

Whitman has been selected in<br />

the under-18 women’s national<br />

The 14-year-old is part of the<br />

team that will travel to Kuala<br />

Lumpur in March to compete<br />

in the IIHF ice hockey women’s<br />

They will face Thailand, Singapore<br />

tournament undefeated.<br />

Brooke’s father, Howard, said<br />

she is a pure, clean player who<br />

RISING: Hannah Bates continued a strong year in the pool by<br />

winning two open grade medals last week. She will now turn<br />

her attention to Commonwealth Games qualifiers in December.<br />

•From page 1<br />

“It was the first time I’ve missed<br />

that much time out of training. I<br />

knew I hadn’t had the best buildup<br />

but I just had to get here and<br />

give it everything,” said Hannah.<br />

Her pace in the pool broke two<br />

Canterbury short course records.<br />

Her times of 2min 15.56sec in<br />

the 200m individual medley<br />

and 1min 3.63sec in the <strong>10</strong>0m<br />

individual medley are both new<br />

record times.<br />

Hannah is currently in<br />

Auckland attending a threeday<br />

The next big event for the<br />

Lincoln local is the New Zealand<br />

Commonwealth Games<br />

qualifying event in December in<br />

Auckland.<br />

“I’m not going up there with<br />

the objective to qualify for the<br />

games, that’s still a little way off,”<br />

said Hannah.<br />

“Just to be in that environment<br />

and see where I need to get to will<br />

be amazing.”<br />

Milligan on Bathurst podium<br />

Success on<br />

debut at<br />

Mt Panorama<br />

• BY Gordon Findlater<br />

IT WAS a near perfect Bathurst<br />

debut for Prebbleton’s Jack<br />

Milligan, who climbed the<br />

podium at Mount Panorama.<br />

Milligan, 21, came into the<br />

weekend with the high goal of<br />

getting a top-<strong>10</strong> finish and it<br />

didn’t take him<br />

long to exceed<br />

that.<br />

The highlight<br />

of the week was<br />

third place in<br />

the second race<br />

in the Toyota<br />

86 Racing<br />

Jack Milligan<br />

Series.<br />

Milligan got<br />

a good getaway<br />

in race two to slot into third<br />

around the outside of turn one<br />

and into second by turn two.<br />

He very nearly won the race<br />

after diving around the outside<br />

of leader and ultimate winner<br />

Dylan Gulson. But the move<br />

didn’t come off, and cost him<br />

second place to Jimmy Vernon.<br />

Milligan also set the fastest<br />

racing lap time, just one tenth<br />

slower than the Toyota 86 lap<br />

record.<br />

Earlier in the week, Milligan<br />

FAST: Jack Milligan was the only Kiwi competing in the Toyota<br />

86s at Bathurst. ​<br />

PHOTO: MATTHEW HANSEN<br />

showed he was on the pace by<br />

finishing Friday’s qualifying<br />

session with the seventh fastest<br />

time.<br />

In the opening race, he improved<br />

on his starting position,<br />

eventually moving into fourth<br />

spot.<br />

The Bathurst experience<br />

saw Milligan take on some of<br />

Australia’s up and coming motorsport<br />

stars, as well as stalwarts<br />

like Leanne Tander and David<br />

Brabham.<br />

SELWYN TIMES<br />

Milligan was the only New<br />

Zealander in the 36-car field of<br />

Toyota 86s, one of the main support<br />

class for the V8 Supercars.<br />

He secured the trip to Bathurst<br />

to compete in that round of the<br />

Aussie 86 series as part of the<br />

rookie title in the New Zealand<br />

Toyota 86 Championship.<br />

His attention now turns to the<br />

NZ Toyota 86 Championship,<br />

which starts with the opening<br />

round at Pukekohe on<br />

November 3.

JONES ROAD<br />

ROLLESTON<br />

Vehicle maintenance is essential<br />

for safe reliable motoring<br />

When life is busy we may forget to have our motor vehicles serviced regularly,<br />

something that is just as important for a late model car as for one that is older.<br />

“Now that warrant of fitness checks<br />

have gone out to a year for late model<br />

vehicles many people mistakenly believe<br />

they need less maintenance and don’t<br />

worry about organising a service in<br />

between,” advises Simon Wilson, owner of<br />

Rolleston Diesel & Petrols.<br />

Regular servicing keeps a vehicle<br />

running smoothly and more reliable yet a<br />

myth prevails, that late model vehicles do<br />

not break down.<br />

Simon says more and more cars have<br />

been coming into their yard for repairs,<br />

having broken down due to a lack of<br />

maintenance. He says, a WOF is there<br />

to identify structural problems with<br />

the brakes, suspension and steering all<br />

checked to ensure the vehicle is safe for<br />

you, your family and other motorists.<br />

However, Simon reminds that a year<br />

can be a long time for a vehicle not<br />

to be serviced, maintained or have a<br />

safety check. This is especially true if<br />

a reasonable distance is travelled each<br />

day, the reality for many people living in<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong>.<br />

Travelling short distances can also<br />

impact on a vehicle especially if it not<br />

warmed up, as it puts strain on the motor,<br />

increases fuel consumption, and affects<br />

the overall economy of the vehicle.<br />

Tell-tale signs such as the smell of oil<br />

may also be overlooked with an owner<br />

not realising that this could signify an oil<br />

leak. If left and not repaired, this could<br />

cause engine damage. A driver might also<br />

not realise the tread on the tyres is low or<br />

there is uneven wear, factors that can be a<br />

safety hazard.<br />

The team at Rolleston Diesel & Petrols<br />

are only too happy to check over your<br />

vehicle and regularly service it for you as<br />

well as look after its WOF checks when<br />

due.<br />

centre is equipped to look after personal<br />

Spider at home in the house<br />

Mike Bowie is<br />

an ecologist<br />

who specialises<br />

in entomology<br />

(insects and other<br />

invertebrates). Each<br />

week he introduces<br />

a new species found in his<br />

backyard at Lincoln. His column<br />

aims to raise public awareness<br />

of biodiversity, the variety of<br />

living things around us<br />

caught in its web, the spider<br />

rushes out from its retreat to<br />

grab the victim and retires to<br />

its retreat to dine.<br />

These spiders are often<br />

found trapped into empty<br />

baths, basins or jars in storage.<br />

It is thought that this species<br />

can live as long as seven years<br />

and produce as many as nine<br />

egg sacs usually located near<br />

their web.<br />

LINCOLN University<br />

researchers say the days of<br />

the white slice may be over, as<br />

growing health consciousness<br />

drives more consumers to buy<br />

grain loaves, or avoid bread<br />

completely.<br />

A survey of shoppers in supermarkets<br />

by Lincoln lecturers<br />

Sue Trafford and Sharon Forbes<br />

found about half thought white<br />

bread was unhealthy.<br />

Of the shoppers surveyed, 80<br />

per cent perceived multigrain<br />

breads to be healthier than other<br />

options.<br />

It found 23 per cent of shoppers<br />

bought white bread, and 77<br />

non-white.<br />

That was a turnaround from<br />

the numbers almost 40 years<br />

ago, when a 1978 survey of shoppers<br />

found 89 per cent bought<br />

Lincoln researchers on<br />

white bread.<br />

Supermarket scanner data<br />

from across New Zealand<br />

showed sales of white bread fell<br />

four per cent last year, while<br />

non-white bread sales rose 1.6<br />

per cent.<br />

Dr Forbes said a lot of fad diets<br />

pushed messages that carbohydrates<br />

were unhealthy, but they<br />

did not tell the whole story.<br />

“I think the nutritionists need<br />

to speak up a lot louder, because<br />

there are a lot of things in bread,<br />

even in white bread, that we really<br />

need in our diets, like fibre<br />

and folic acid.”<br />

She said bread consumption<br />

could also be reducing due to the<br />

variety of products available for<br />

breakfast or lunch, such as cereals,<br />

smoothies, sushi, salads and<br />

fast food.<br />

BUILD 7<br />

A ‘real show home’ open to the public<br />

Every Sunday in <strong>October</strong> (12pm-3pm)<br />

the public will have the opportunity to<br />

visit a show home with a difference in<br />

Lincoln. Unlike the usual show homes<br />

people visit when they are in the market<br />

to build a new home, this is a real home<br />

on show, where builder Jamie Cowan<br />

lives with his wife Francesca and their<br />

young son.<br />

“We wanted to show people the Build7<br />

process first-hand, with a home that we<br />

are proud to live in ourselves,” Francesca<br />

says.<br />

Jamie and Francesca are the<br />

Canterbury owners of Build7, a home<br />

building company different from most<br />

other building companies operating in<br />

the New Zealand market.<br />

As Francesca explains: “We don’t<br />

have set plans that clients choose from.<br />

Instead, we sit down with every client<br />

and take the design brief from them,<br />

and that includes their seven ‘musthaves’.<br />

They can also bring in photos of<br />

interiors and styles they like and we can<br />

work from those.<br />

“We find it a lot easier to design a<br />

house from scratch. Everyone has a<br />

different idea for their house, and with<br />

our method they get exactly what they<br />

want. From the briefing we develop a<br />

concept pack, which includes renders,<br />

a floor plan and elevations, and this is a<br />

free service.”<br />

Top-quality construction of the client’s<br />

home is ensured with Jamie’s 18 years’<br />

building experience – he completed<br />

his apprenticeship and early years in<br />

Canterbury before spending significant<br />

time in Sydney fine-tuning his craft. As<br />

the project manager on every build, he is<br />

in contact with the client right through<br />

the process.<br />

Build7 designs and builds homes for<br />

all budgets, Francesca says.<br />

“We work within the client’s budget,<br />

which can range from a Kiwisaver first<br />

home build, right through to highend<br />

properties, where we work with<br />

architects if required.”<br />

The company has a range of suppliers,<br />

coupled with strong trade relationships<br />

that come with being a national building<br />

company, giving clients an extensive<br />

selection of materials and fittings to<br />

choose from, while the services of an<br />

interior designer are included in the<br />

package.<br />

Jamie and Francesca’s home is part of<br />

Tomorrow’s Show Homes, a programme<br />

presenting show homes around New<br />

Zealand that are more innovative than<br />

standard homes.<br />

A four-bedroom home, it was<br />

designed it for maximum light, with<br />

a contemporary décor and a good<br />

connection between indoors and<br />

outdoors.<br />

Located at 45 Sunline Avenue in the<br />

Flemington subdivision in Lincoln, it is<br />

open for viewing from 12pm-3pm every<br />

Sunday in <strong>October</strong>.

gardening without guesswork<br />

Question:<br />

Now the weather is getting warmer, I was wondering if<br />

it is alright to use the grey water (from washing veges,<br />

cooking water etc) to water the plants in my garden?<br />

Anything I shouldn’t put on?<br />

What a fantastic idea! As we<br />

Answer: head into the warmer and drier<br />

months, water restrictions can be<br />

placed upon us at any stage. Any smart ways to reduce our<br />

water usage is definitely going to be beneficial.<br />

Grey water can be used at any time as usually it is well<br />

diluted with rinsing water.<br />

We are unaware of any issues that have arisen from using<br />

grey water from washing veges or cooking water.<br />

It would be wise to mention that if you are going to use<br />

the water from washing dishes, use eco-friendly, or plantfriendly<br />

liquids. When you apply the water, you should try<br />

to keep it off the foliage of plants if possible.<br />

This goes for all types of grey water.<br />

handy hint<br />

If you are wanting to re-pipe to accommodate for grey water,<br />

you will need to check the rules and regulations around<br />

this. It would also pay to get in touch with a plumber.<br />

Otherwise, just remove the grey water from the sink or pots<br />

and tip it into a bucket that you can then use to water the<br />

• If you are looking to plant tomatoes, wait until<br />

Labour Weekend unless you have a glasshouse.<br />

These hungry plants require a lot of nutrients<br />

through their growing season, and continue to<br />

need it even when they have started to produce<br />

their fruit. Using a top quality potting mix like Patio Plus, or Tomato Mix is essential<br />

for a bountiful crop. A topdressing fertiliser is on the must have list as well. You can<br />

use Intelligro Tomato Fertiliser or Top Dressing Fertiliser depending on where you<br />

have planted the tomatoes.<br />

Papanui<br />

High School<br />

As the weather gets warmer and the<br />

evenings get longer it is the ideal time to get<br />

out of the house and learn something new<br />

and meet some new people by taking part<br />

in one of the wide range of nightclasses on<br />

offer at Papanui High School for Term 4<br />

beginning from Tuesday 24 <strong>October</strong>.<br />

From Art to Yoga and everything in<br />

between we are sure regardless of your<br />

age or interest you will find something<br />

to tempt you. Classes at Papanui High<br />

School are held in a warm, friendly relaxed<br />

environment and our tutors are supportive<br />

and well qualified in their chosen fields.<br />

A new course on offer is Creative Candle<br />

Making which will teach you to create<br />

your own soy container candles and<br />

melts, either for yourself or ideal as a gift.<br />

Discover more about soy wax, fragrance,<br />

wick selection and trouble shooting<br />

commom candle making issues. This is a<br />

hands on course where you will make 3 full<br />

sized scented candles, 6 melts, 5 tea lights<br />

and 1 votive. The cost of all materials is<br />

included in the course fee. This course is<br />

being taught by Jane Alexander and will be<br />

held at Papanui High School on Saturday 4<br />

November between <strong>10</strong> am – 4 pm at a cost<br />

of $148.<br />

Ensuring a safe<br />

work place<br />

Learning first aid is not only a part of<br />

ensuring a safe work place, but also an<br />

integral part of our engagement with<br />

the wider community. We all learn the<br />

necessary skills to ensure that in times of<br />

emergency we are able to assist our work<br />

colleagues, but are we able to take these<br />

skills home, into the community or on to<br />

the sports field?<br />

Not all work places are the same and<br />

the injury risk for each place can be<br />

wide and variable. The office attended by<br />

administrators does not carry the same<br />

risk as those people working with heavy<br />

machinery, or perhaps at some distance<br />

from a regular ambulance service. It is<br />

therefore essential that you pick the right<br />

first aid course to suit all of your activities<br />

– both professional and social.<br />

Take, for example, an office worker who<br />

does not have a high risk work environment<br />

and whose concern might be to ensure<br />

that they can deal with minor cuts and<br />

superficial injuries, or the ability to perform<br />

effective CPR. These skills can be achieved<br />

on a course of eight hours duration and<br />

would generally fit into low to medium<br />

risk area. But take this same person on to<br />

a sports field either as a spectator or player<br />

when a higher level injury occurs. The<br />

eight hour course covering unit standards<br />

6402 and 6401 (or 26551 and 26552) does<br />

not cover head neck and spinal injuries,<br />

eye injuries, hypothermia and poisonings.<br />

The majority of injuries occur outside of<br />

the work place, in fact one in three injuries<br />

occurs in the home, making it the most<br />

common place for injuries to happen.<br />

New Zealand children are twice as likely<br />

to die through injury as children who live<br />

in Australia. They mostly die as a result<br />

of motor vehicles accidents or falls in the<br />

home. Fatalities from leisure and sport are<br />

not far behind those in the workplace.<br />

The wider 12 hour course teaches the<br />

additional unit standard 6400 and provides<br />

a wide knowledge base for medium to high<br />

risk environments. This course covers<br />

many of the skills required to deal with<br />

the most common injuries, such as falls<br />

(which can result in head, neck and spinal<br />

injuries) and dealing with complex scenes<br />

such as motor vehicle accidents.<br />

If you are not sure on the course best<br />

suited to your needs, ask your accredited<br />

first aid training provider. They can explain<br />

the course content and give you options<br />

that will best suit your needs. Look beyond<br />

the workplace and consider your family<br />

and your location. Check that you have a<br />

good quality first aid kit that is up-to-date<br />

with replenished items, and that everyone<br />

knows where it is located.<br />

CONTINUING EDUCATION<br />

Risingholme Community<br />

Centre Term 3<br />

Term 4 sees us continuing to offer<br />

a range of classes across the city at<br />

Risingholme Community Centre,<br />

Riccarton High School, Shirley Boys High<br />

School, Christchurch Girls High School<br />

and Hornby High School, many of which<br />

have become a tradition of Risingholme<br />

Community Centre programme. So what<br />

better way to prepare for summer than<br />

to get out and learn something new by<br />

enrolling in a course of interest – maybe<br />

something that you have tried before and<br />

want to explore further or perhaps you<br />

would like to try something new, or to<br />

meet new people with similar interests.<br />

It has been proven that Lifelong Learning<br />

has many benefits with the obvious ones<br />

being the continuation of a learning<br />

journey, learning a new skill, increased<br />

confidence, meeting new people and much<br />

more. Our full range of classes can be<br />

viewed on our website www.risingholme.<br />

org.nz<br />

Are you Digitally challenged in our<br />

ever changing digital world? Or if you<br />

are not familiar with using a computer,<br />

we offer classes on Computer Basics or<br />

maybe something more advanced such as<br />

Word, Excel or Photoshop. If you would<br />

like to know more about these or other<br />

classes that we are running, we would<br />

love to hear from, you can enrol via<br />

our website www.risingholme.org.<br />

nz or phone the Risingholme office<br />

332 7359.<br />

New and exciting at Risingholme<br />

Community Centre is Zentangle.<br />

What is this you might say - well if<br />

you can’t sit still enough for yoga, or<br />

your mind wanders in meditation,<br />

or you would like a creative aspect to<br />

your mindfulness, this may work for<br />

you. This method of drawing does not<br />

require any previous drawing ability,<br />

it can be a 15 minute practice you can<br />

build into your everyday, or you can<br />

explore some of the more creative ways<br />

you can then use this design practise to<br />

make your own cards, images, or decorate<br />

products. This class will teach you a<br />

variety of ‘tangles’ and get you started on<br />

your Zentangle path in a supportive and<br />

creative atmosphere, and you can build it<br />

at a pace that suits you, within your time<br />

constraints or desire as you move through<br />

the term.<br />

If you would like to know more about<br />

these classes or others on our website<br />

www.risingholme.org.nz please call the<br />

office 03 332 7359<br />

Sun Drenched & Super Stylish!<br />

This stunning contemporary home provides superior<br />

living, with so many desirable & sought-after features, all<br />

encompassed in such a practical layout. When entering the<br />

home, you’ll be impressed with the high feature ceilings,<br />

giving a feeling of grandeur.<br />

The open plan living & dining area floods with natural<br />

for the cooler months. The kitchen is beautifully finished<br />

with a double fridge space, 90cm oven & gas hobs, walk<br />

in pantry & bi-fold windows to the outdoor area. The<br />

separate lounge offers a great space to unwind, & both<br />

living areas have sliding doors, to extend your living<br />

& entertainment space in the summer, enhanced by a<br />

covered al-fresco dining area & lovely landscaped garden.<br />

There’s space for all the family, with 4 bedrooms & a study,<br />

plus in the corner of the hall there’s a handy rumpus space,<br />

perfect for extra hobbies or a chill-out zone. The master<br />

suite opens to the lawn area, so you can sit in bed & look<br />

out to your private slice of paradise, & you’ll love the<br />

ensuite with double tiled shower & under-floor heating<br />

– which features in all tiled areas throughout the house.<br />

To top things off on this <strong>10</strong>30m2 section, there’s triple car<br />

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections<br />

in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District<br />

Choices for bathrooms<br />

Most new homes are built with a main bathroom and ensuite off the master<br />

bedroom. The size and fit-out of these varies from affordable to luxuriant.<br />

This is one area of the home that can add<br />

to the build price though not everyone is<br />

concerned about price.<br />

If you have the opportunity and desire<br />

to treat yourself then large spacious walkin<br />

showers with double shower heads,<br />

freestanding baths, under-floor heating,<br />

tiled walls and floors, and even a bidet<br />

may be serious considerations.<br />

The size of the house along with the<br />

number people, who will live there, as well<br />

as the age of the occupants and whether<br />

guests might stay regularly, may also be<br />

influencers in the number of bathrooms<br />

and toilets included within the house<br />

layout.<br />

A toilet may be located near the garage<br />

or backdoor making it handy for those<br />

working or playing outside, saving the<br />

carpet from being walked on by dirty<br />

footwear.<br />

Visiting showhomes will afford lots of<br />

ideas for décor and the positioning of<br />

these rooms. Some are now featuring more<br />

than one ensuite with walk-in glass wall or<br />

cubicle showers, offering an ideal option<br />

to cater for extra adults or teenagers.<br />

The more bathrooms and toilets the<br />

more cleaning so consider how useful<br />

those extra little rooms will be. This also<br />

applies to freestanding baths which look<br />

grand but will collect their share of dust<br />

and grime around the back.<br />

More bathrooms are<br />

great where those<br />

living in the home<br />

have similar work<br />

and play routines.<br />

On the upside, more bathrooms are<br />

great where those living in the home have<br />

similar work and play routines. The extra<br />

facilities will take pressure off and make<br />

for a more harmonious lifestyle.<br />

For two-storey homes or single level<br />

dwellings where the living area is apart<br />

from the bedrooms, having a separate<br />

toilet with wash basin downstairs close<br />

and to the living area, will be advantageous<br />

for family and guests.<br />

The interior design and décor of<br />

bathrooms is still erring towards opulent<br />

elegance featuring large polished tiles,<br />

freestanding baths, wall mounted vanities<br />

and monotone colours of black, white and<br />

grey, augmented with earthy colours or a<br />

splash of vibrant blue, teal or yellow.<br />

Overseas, one might see spacious<br />

bathrooms that seem more like a mini<br />

lounge than functional area with features<br />

such as anti-fog mirrors, televisions, a<br />

comfy chair and large rug on the floor.<br />

Lastly, when it comes to an important<br />

fixture of this part of the home take time<br />

to choose from the wide range of toilets<br />

available, looking for simple lines for style<br />

and easy cleaning, and weighing up the<br />

importance of features like a soft close seat<br />

and a water saving option. The latter may<br />

be ideal if located on a lifestyle block or<br />

farm where water usage is a concern.<br />

Tiled walls & floors<br />

give an opulent feel.<br />

Freestanding baths<br />

give a spacious feel.<br />

A bidet is an option.<br />

A toilet with washbasin is<br />

convenient for family & guests.

Checklist for selling your home<br />

MAKE SMALL FIXES<br />

Inspect your home with a buyer’s<br />

eyes, and correct the flaws that are<br />

most egregious (if affordable) or<br />

can be relatively easily fixed—from<br />

repairing cracks in the walkways<br />

to repainting dingy walls or oiling<br />

creaky hinges.<br />

SET A PRICE<br />

A real estate agent will give you a<br />

market analysis free of charge or<br />

commitment. Ask a few to get a<br />

broader picture of the market, then<br />

ask to see listings for properties<br />

similar to yours that have sold<br />

in the past six months. Check<br />

out comparable listings yourself<br />

in the real estate section of your<br />

newspaper or on websites. Then<br />

decide whether you want a quick,<br />

easy sale or the highest possible<br />

price.<br />

CLEAN & DECLUTTER<br />

Weed out excess furniture,<br />

knicknacks, and “stuff ”—toss it,<br />

donate it, give it away, sell it at a<br />

yard sale, or put it into storage—so<br />

the house seems more spacious and<br />

buyers can imagine themselves in it.<br />

STAY VIGILIANT ABOUT<br />

MAINTENANCE<br />

From the moment you start<br />

showing your house, keep the lawn<br />

mowed, shrubs trimmed, gardens<br />

weeded, rooms spotless and<br />

clutter-free.<br />

READY YOUR HOME FOR<br />

OPEN DAYS<br />

Hide pocketable valuables,<br />

display fresh flowers or bowls<br />

of fruit, bake a batch of cookies<br />

for the homey smell, open the<br />

drapes, keep pets out of sight.<br />

DECIDE WHETHER TO DO<br />

YOUR OWN BUILDING<br />

INSPECTION<br />

It may save you time, especially<br />

with older homes, to identify—<br />

and potentially solve—problems<br />

your buyer’s inspection will<br />

discover later.<br />
