Abbeyfield<br />

House<br />

helps<br />

elderly<br />

residents<br />

stay in<br />

Leeston<br />

THE MUCH awaited retirement<br />

complex in Leeston has finally<br />

opened, signalling a new era in<br />

future planning for the district’s<br />

ageing population.<br />

Abbeyfield House was officially<br />

opened on Saturday by <strong>Selwyn</strong> MP<br />

Amy Adams.<br />

The complex on Flannery St,<br />

Leeston, provides accommodation<br />

for up to <strong>14</strong> residents and has taken<br />

nine years to complete.<br />

It is for over 65-year-olds, single<br />

or widowed, in the community.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong>’s population in the last<br />

census was 44,595. However, it is<br />

expected to grow to 67,728 by 2025<br />

and 86,440 by 2040.<br />

Mayor Sam Broughton hopes<br />

to see more places like Abbeyfield<br />

House opening up in the future to<br />

accommodate for this growth.<br />

“I think there is opportunities for<br />

similar types of facilities in other<br />

towns around <strong>Selwyn</strong>. If we can<br />

learn from what they have done<br />

in Ellesmere that would be really<br />

great,” he said.<br />

THE HEAT has now really gone on the<br />

Templeton quarry row (see page 3).<br />

Fulton Hogan is exploring a new site,<br />

very close to the 170ha area it wants to<br />

quarry for the next 40 years.<br />

That plan has been met with fierce<br />

resistance from Templeton and Weedons residents, and now the<br />

latest move will add fuel to the fire.<br />

The 2011 earthquake has proved a construction boon for<br />

Canterbury and a huge part of that is roads.<br />

The southern motorway is the latest giant-sized project and the<br />

aggregate needed is a stone’s throw from where the roading work<br />

is. That means cheap transport costs for the quarry companies.<br />

The problem is there is another issue: The people that live<br />

there.<br />

WIGRAM MP Megan Woods<br />

it cannot exercise it without<br />

Fulton Hogan was granted the<br />

“Any discoveries are then<br />

Girl loses part of finger<br />

after school door closes<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

A GIRL lost part of her finger<br />

when an automatic door closed<br />

on it at Lincoln Primary School.<br />

Principal Vivienne Butcher<br />

said the school immediately<br />

took action following the<br />

incident and adjusted the doors<br />

to ensure they closed more<br />

softly.<br />

The girl was a former pupil<br />

who was visiting a teacher with<br />

friends. She was getting ready<br />

to start at Lincoln High School.<br />

The incident happened on<br />

January 29.<br />

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

“We don’t want to leave<br />

Medical clinic on the<br />

cards for Lincoln’s<br />

Vernon Drive centre<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

THE NEW Vernon Drive Retail<br />

Centre could be home to another<br />

medical clinic in Lincoln.<br />

The centre’s resource consent<br />

allows for a number of healthcare<br />

services, including a<br />

physiotherapy and medical<br />

clinic.<br />

It comes as Lincoln’s<br />

population continues to<br />

grow. The township is<br />

expected to grow to 9442<br />

by 2025.<br />

The 2400 sq m commercial<br />

development is<br />

planned to open next month.<br />

Leasing agent Jeff Vesey said<br />

the addition of a medical clinic<br />

had not been confirmed.<br />

Malcolm<br />

Lyall<br />

“It could happen, certainly<br />

nothing confirmed,” he said.<br />

Deputy Mayor Malcolm Lyall<br />

said as Lincoln’s population<br />

continues to grow, it is a matter<br />

of providing enough services.<br />

Mr Lyall, along with his family,<br />

use the Lincoln Medical<br />

Centre. He said there had<br />

been times when he had<br />

waited a “little longer”<br />

for an appointment at the<br />

medical centre than he<br />

would have expected.<br />

The tenants confirmed<br />

in the Vernon Drive Retail<br />

Centre so far are Plus Fitness<br />

24/7, physio Motus and a Monteith’s<br />

Brewery Bar called The<br />

Flaming Rabbit. Bar owner Paul<br />

new premise is in the<br />

fit-out stage and it is<br />

expected to open in<br />

the middle of April.<br />

New Darfield Four Square on way<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

A MAJOR redevelopment of<br />

the Darfield Four Square has<br />

been given the green light.<br />

A new Four Square<br />

supermarket is planned, along<br />

with a cafe and retail spaces,<br />

on the corner of South Tce and<br />

McMillan St.<br />

While the application was<br />

made by Foodstuffs South<br />

Island Ltd, the redevelopment<br />

is being<br />

undertaken by<br />

Darfield Four<br />

Square owner/<br />

operators<br />

Kelvin and<br />

Delwyn Taege.<br />

Foodstuffs<br />

John Morten<br />

has assisted<br />

the Taeges<br />

with the<br />

purchase of the land from the<br />

district council which adjoins<br />

the existing Four Square.<br />

Foodstuffs property and retail<br />

development general manager<br />

Roger Davidson said it<br />

will continue to assist the<br />

owners through the consent<br />

and construction stages. Mr<br />

Taege would not comment on<br />

the development.<br />

The application was approved<br />

by the district council<br />

earlier this month.<br />

NEW: How the Darfield Four Square will look after a major redevelopment.<br />

The development will be<br />

undertaken in two stages, with<br />

the existing building set to be<br />

demolished at the completion<br />

of stage one. A construction<br />

timeline is yet to be established.<br />

Mr Davidson said the building<br />

consent documents are<br />

being compiled. A district<br />

council report said the current<br />

Four Square building does not<br />

provide enough space to operate<br />

effectively.<br />

But Mr Davidson said<br />

even with Darfield’s<br />

anticipated population<br />

growth, there would not be<br />

sufficient demand to sustain<br />

a New World or Pak’nSave<br />

supermarket. “The expanded<br />

and improved Four Square<br />

was the best way forward,”<br />

he said. The population in<br />

Darfield is expected to grow to<br />

3629 by 2025. The 9669m 2 site<br />

will contain a 160m 2 cafe and<br />

two retail buildings. The new<br />

Four Square will cover a floor<br />

area of 1109m 2 .<br />

The development is expected<br />

to generate more than 250 vehicle<br />

movements per day and<br />

126 car parks will be provided<br />

on completion of stage two.<br />

Foodstuffs is focusing on<br />

a resilience strategy for food<br />

distribution in case of natural<br />

disasters. Mr Davidson said<br />

Darfield needed the upgrade<br />

because of its rural location<br />

and susceptibility to winter<br />

snow storms.<br />

The supermarket will feature<br />

generator plugs so generators<br />

can be used to save good in an<br />

emergency.<br />

District councillor John<br />

Morten said the development<br />

will be a significant project in<br />

the main street of Darfield.<br />

‘Pud’ bows out after 40 years<br />

Allan ‘Pud’ Fletcher has<br />

been honoured after<br />

40 years of service<br />

with the Springfield<br />

Volunteer Fire Brigade.<br />

Georgia O’Connor-<br />

Harding reports<br />

THE 79-YEAR-OLD first joined<br />

the Fire Service in 1977 and<br />

remained in active service until<br />

December 31 when he officially<br />

retired.<br />

Mr Fletcher, also known<br />

as ‘Pud’ Fletcher, first joined<br />

after his wife Jo was rushed to<br />

Christchurch Hospital when she<br />

collapsed from an asthma attack.<br />

He said the Springfield<br />

community was “marvellous” to<br />

his wife while she remained in<br />

hospital for about a week with<br />

residents bringing items such<br />

as nightgowns, facecloths and<br />

towels to Jo.<br />

He said Springfield School<br />

in particular did a lot for Jo,<br />

who was a former secretary at<br />

the school. The children sent<br />

bunches of flowers, basket<br />

of fruits and cards while the<br />

teachers travelled to visit her.<br />

Mr Fletcher said he wanted<br />

to find a way to give back to the<br />

community. “I thought so hard –<br />

‘what am I going to do, what am<br />

I going to do’, so I decided to join<br />

the fire brigade,” he said.<br />

About 40 people attended a<br />

celebration at the Springfield<br />

Fire Station recently where Mr<br />

Fletcher was presented a blazer,<br />

fire jacket, shield and certificate<br />

in recognition of his work.<br />

After working at the AA<br />

Vehicle Testing Christchurch<br />

centre in Hornby, he decided to<br />

retire last year and move with his<br />

wife to Geraldine.<br />

Before working at the testing<br />

centre, Mr Fletcher had a job as a<br />

mechanic in Christchurch before<br />

he worked on the railways in<br />

Springfield.<br />

Originally from New Brighton,<br />

England, Mr Fletcher moved to<br />

CELEBRATION:<br />

Allan ‘Pud’<br />

Fletcher<br />

served with<br />

the Springfield<br />

Volunteer Fire<br />

Brigade for<br />

40 years and<br />

officially retired in<br />

December. ​<br />

New Zealand in March 1971.<br />

He said he and his wife are<br />

now taking it easy after they<br />

were involved in a car crash at<br />

the intersection of Winchester-<br />

Geraldine Rd and Coach Rd<br />

early last year.<br />

Mr Fletcher said they were<br />

driving towards Winchester<br />

at 90km/h when the vehicle<br />

crashed into a campervan which<br />

was pulling out of Coach Rd.<br />

The campervan rolled and<br />

landed on the passenger side,<br />

but Mr Fletcher said the two<br />

Germans inside were okay.<br />

“It affected our lives quite<br />

badly. I lost some of my balance,<br />

affecting my nerve system. My<br />

wife ended up in hospital getting<br />

pneumonia and nearly died,” he<br />

said.<br />

She developed severe<br />

pneumonia about five months<br />

after the accident. But Mr<br />

Fletcher said she fought back.<br />

He said their Ford Falcon was<br />

a “write-off” and if it had been<br />

any smaller, he did not believe<br />

they would be here today.<br />

“We are both very lucky,” he<br />

said.<br />

In his time with the Fire<br />

Service, one of the largest fires<br />

Mr Fletcher attended was at<br />

Burnt Hill, Oxford, in the early<br />

1980s.<br />

He said they battled the blaze<br />

for two and a half days and it<br />

ended up near the Waimakariri<br />

Gorge bridge – travelling 1km<br />

every 2min.<br />

Chief fire officer Grant<br />

Williams said Mr Fletcher was<br />

good value, entertaining and<br />

conscientious of other members<br />

in the brigade.<br />

BE IN TO<br />

Abbeyfield House<br />

opens in Leeston<br />

•From page 1<br />

It is the latest<br />

Abbeyfield House to reach<br />

completion.<br />

There are now 13 Abbeyfield<br />

Houses in New<br />

Zealand. It is operated by<br />

volunteer committees affiliated<br />

to Abbeyfield New<br />

Zealand Inc, a registered<br />

charity.<br />

The Leeston house cost<br />

$2.6 million to establish.<br />

House committee chairwoman<br />

Anna Carter said<br />

it felt too many elderly<br />

from the Ellesmere community<br />

were moving to<br />

Christchurch or Ashburton.<br />

“We just feel it is<br />

incredibly important for<br />

our elderly to stay in the<br />

community where they<br />

feel safe and comfortable,”<br />

she said.<br />

District councillor Pat<br />

McEvedy said further<br />

development of retirement<br />

facilities in <strong>Selwyn</strong> depends<br />

on the community.<br />

He said in larger communities<br />

like Rolleston<br />

NEW: One of several units available to residents<br />

living at Abbeyfield House.<br />

and Lincoln commercial<br />

retirement villages will get<br />

up and running.<br />

“But in the country<br />

communities like here in<br />

Ellesmere and perhaps in<br />

Malvern – we don’t have<br />

the same opportunity for a<br />

commercial operation,” Cr<br />

McEvedy said.<br />

He said while it is a place<br />

for people still reasonably<br />

independent – it is about<br />

offering companionship<br />

and sustainability.<br />

Abbeyfield House is<br />

supported by the Rata<br />

Foundation, Housing<br />

council, Ellesmere Lions,<br />

Wildside Project<br />

The Wildside Project is a large scale collaboration<br />

of landowners, Christchurch City Council,<br />

Department of Conservation, Environment<br />

Canterbury, and BPCT for the protection of a<br />

variety of endemic, threatened, and iconic species<br />

such as the endemic white-flippered little blue<br />

penguin, the only titi (sooty shearwater) colony<br />

in Canterbury, and yellow-eyed penguin at their<br />

northern breeding range. jewelled gecko, spotted<br />

skink, the Banks Peninsula tree weta and Akaroa daisy (both<br />

found only on the Wildside). The Wildside covers 13,500ha and<br />

focuses on habitat protection, with 25% of the Wildside held in<br />

private or public reserve, and predator control, with over 700<br />

predator traps controlling feral cats, ferrets, stoats, weasels,<br />

and possums used in this extensive trapping programme.<br />

The Tui Project<br />

The Banks Peninsula Tui Restoration group translocated a<br />

total of 72 tui from Maud Island, Marlborough Sounds to<br />

Hinewai Reserve, Banks Peninsula in 2009 and 2010. This<br />

NatureWatchNZ project has been set up to capture the many<br />

observations of tui contributed by people all over Banks<br />

Peninsula and Christchurch since the first release. The vast<br />

majority of observations in the project are made by a small<br />

team of volunteers, who have spent thousands of hours<br />

observing, recording and managing this information over the<br />

last nine years.<br />

Anita Kramer – I am<br />

most concerned at the<br />

thought of having our<br />

water chlorinated.<br />

I read the article which<br />

quite clearly appears that<br />

the decision to chlorinate<br />

has already been made.<br />

Craig Watson, district<br />

councillor, says that it is<br />

about science leading the<br />

conversation rather than<br />

emotion.<br />

May I also remind him,<br />

water is a health<br />

hazard proven by multiple<br />

scientific studies.<br />

our skin too when bathing/<br />

The name honours the<br />

area’s bi-cultural heritage<br />

and sets the scene for a<br />

It also highlights the<br />

of the Ararira/LII River,<br />

This issue should be<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

$10,000 bid for medical research<br />

• By Andrew King<br />

LAST YEAR Leanne Corboy<br />

had a wheelchair pushed beside<br />

her by husband Craig while she<br />

walked the Star Media City2Surf<br />

to raise money for the Bowel and<br />

Liver Trust.<br />

He thought she might collapse<br />

before making the finish line.<br />

But this year not only will<br />

the wheelchair be left at home,<br />

she will have a small army of<br />

followers all walking to raise<br />

money for the trust, which she<br />

said has changed her life.<br />

Mrs Corboy, 31, was diagnosed<br />

with Crohn’s disease and<br />

endometriosis by equipment<br />

purchased by the trust for<br />

Christchurch Hospital, a<br />

breakthrough which would have<br />

been impossible without the<br />

machine.<br />

Her goal this year is to<br />

raise $10,000 for the trust in<br />

aid of finding a cure, and her<br />

workplace, Bupa’s Parklands<br />

Care Home, is getting behind her<br />

and her supporters, matching<br />

their donations up to $2000.<br />

“We are trying to find a cure<br />

and we are urging anyone to join<br />

the team and help us find a cure,”<br />

she said.<br />

So far 45 people have come<br />

forward to say they will walk<br />

with her, but she expects the<br />

number to get much bigger.<br />

And she said participating in<br />

the City2Surf is the perfect way<br />

to do it.<br />

“I walk 7km every morning,<br />

not just for training, but for<br />

myself. I will walk in the <strong>14</strong>km in<br />

the City2Surf,” she said.<br />

Before her first go at the run, it<br />

was a real challenge, she said.<br />

“I went from not being able to<br />

walk to being able to get involved<br />

with this event and with a<br />

determined mind and a fantastic<br />

support crew we can raise money<br />

for something that has given me<br />

so much,” she said.<br />

John Reid<br />

From cricket grounds around the world<br />

Former international left hand batsman turned<br />

teacher, John Fulton Reid, 61, now works for<br />

the district council overseeing its major capital<br />

expenditure projects. He chats with Andrew King<br />

about upcoming developments in the district, his<br />

undying love for Auckland sports teams and who he<br />

hit his only international test six against<br />

Hi, John tell me about your<br />

work for the district council?<br />

My official title is major<br />

projects property manager, which<br />

means I oversee the delivery<br />

of the big projects around the<br />

district. It is mainly buildings,<br />

community centres, parks and<br />

reserves. I have been doing it for<br />

the past three-odd years.<br />

That would keep you busy;<br />

what are you currently working<br />

on?<br />

Foster Park is the big one<br />

at the moment, we have been<br />

working on that for the past three<br />

years. We have put in playing<br />

fields, hockey turf, a brand new<br />

playground. Now we are about<br />

to finish the rugby and softball<br />

fields.<br />

What’s in the pipeline?<br />

We are working on the new<br />

West Melton Community Centre<br />

and Tai Tapu Community Centre<br />

in Rhodes Park. There are quite a<br />

few other smaller projects on the<br />

go as well.<br />

So what got you into the<br />

council?<br />

I didn’t have a background in<br />

this kind of things at all. I like<br />

doing jobs where I have to learn<br />

and adapt. I have been in sports<br />

management for about 30-odd<br />

years with New Zealand Cricket<br />

and Auckland Cricket, as well<br />

as Sport New Zealand. I have<br />

lived in Rolleston since I moved<br />

down in the mid-90s, and the<br />

council called me up and asked<br />

me to help out on a project a<br />

few years ago and it snowballed<br />

from there. I really like working<br />

in the community and making<br />

a meaningful contribution and<br />

adding value.<br />

Was it your involvement<br />

with New Zealand Cricket that<br />

GIVING BACK: John Reid is now overseeing projects such as the revamp of<br />

Foster Park as major projects property manager for the district council.<br />

PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER<br />

relocated you to the mainland?<br />

Yes, I was there for about 10<br />

years after I moved down here<br />

in the mid-90s. I was the cricket<br />

operations manager, reporting to<br />

the chief executive on all kinds of<br />

things from community cricket<br />

right up to the top-level stuff.<br />

For example, I was involved in<br />

setting up the facilities and concept<br />

programme out in Lincoln<br />

for developing cricketers.<br />

Tell me about your time as<br />

an international cricketer. I see<br />

you didn’t travel with the side to<br />

the Caribbean in 1984, why was<br />

that?<br />

Yes, I missed that tour, but<br />

it wasn’t the end of my playing<br />

career. I finished up in 1986. I<br />

didn’t go for a number of reasons.<br />

We had just come off a big tour<br />

to Pakistan, and in those days it<br />

was really difficult to play and<br />

provide for the family – I had a<br />

wife and two daughters by then.<br />

I needed a break to get things<br />

established again. My priorities<br />

were around providing for my<br />

family. Playing was enjoyable,<br />

but I also needed to pay the bills.<br />

So I put my education to use and<br />

started to teach at Waitakere<br />

College.<br />

It wasn’t because guys like<br />

Malcolm Marshall, Joel Garner<br />

and Michael Holding were in<br />

the side at the time?<br />

(Laughing) They were an awesome<br />

side at the time. It was a<br />

tough tour. But the real thinking<br />

was around how I balanced my<br />

family life and sport.<br />

Had you played those guys<br />

before?<br />

I was 12th man for a test at<br />

Carisbrook. It was the one where<br />

Michael Holding kicked the<br />

stumps over. (Holding was furious<br />

that New Zealand batsman,<br />

John Parker, was given not out<br />

after Holding was adamant he<br />

was caught behind.) However, I<br />

wasn’t selected for the next test,<br />

which was interesting.<br />

What was it like to stand at<br />

the crease while Holding ran in?<br />

I heard it was one of the most<br />

intimidating sights in cricket at<br />

that time?<br />

Any bowler bowling at that<br />

pace is intimidating. But in reality,<br />

Pakistan’s Imran Khan was<br />

one of the quickest I’ve faced in<br />

my time in international cricket.<br />

The first time I faced him was<br />

in my very first test (Auckland,<br />

<strong>February</strong> 23, 1979) – it was the<br />

quickest spell I’ve faced in my<br />

life and he was a fine all-rounder.<br />

But the key to the West Indies’<br />

bowling attack was that there was<br />

no respite. Because there were<br />

four of them, two would bowl at<br />

you for an hour then switch. They<br />

could do that all day. ​<br />

You have the second highest<br />

test score by a kiwi at Colombo,<br />

Sri Lanka, behinds Stephen<br />

Fleming’s glorious 274*. Tell me<br />

about that innings?<br />

I guess people say how do you<br />

do it. My strength was around<br />

having a sound technique: defend<br />

well and accumulate. I could<br />

wear sides down. That inning was<br />

spread over three days and it was<br />

very hot. We had a doctor with<br />

us who would pour ice water over<br />

us each drinks break, which we<br />

had two of each session. I had<br />

mental strength back then, but if<br />

I was playing today it would be<br />

a lot different. I mean, if we had<br />

got out to a reverse sweep back<br />

then, that would have earned<br />

you a swift kick up the backside<br />

when you got back into the<br />

dressing room by the captain and<br />

coach, unlike the shots you see<br />

nowadays. But that is how the<br />

game has evolved.<br />

Was it your finest, because<br />

you made six pretty good looking<br />

100s in your 19 test career?<br />

I think the best innings I<br />

played in test cricket, it was 70<br />

odd at Eden Park (74) against<br />

India in the third test during the<br />

1981 series. The pitch was turning<br />

sideways and we lost the toss<br />

and had to field.<br />

to project developments in <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

John Bracewell turned one<br />

square and a few of us batsmen<br />

just put our heads in our hands<br />

thinking this was going to be a<br />

nightmare. John Wright and I<br />

put on a big partnership (<strong>14</strong>8).<br />

I felt I had achieved something<br />

valuable. When you score when<br />

it’s easy it is okay, but when<br />

it is difficult it is more<br />

satisfying.<br />

I see you hit one six in your<br />

international test career – can<br />

you remember who it was<br />

off?<br />

I remember it vividly<br />

(laughing). It was in Pakistan<br />

during the 1984/85 season. We<br />

were playing in Hyderabad.<br />

Back in those days none of the<br />

umpires were from a neutral<br />

country, so the pair in the middle<br />

were under a bit of pressure<br />

from the locals and it was safe to<br />

say things hadn’t gone our way.<br />

John Wright played and missed<br />

at one and was given out after a<br />

half appeal from someone down<br />

at third man. He would have<br />

missed it by a foot. So I had a bit<br />

of built up anger. ​Iqbal Qasim, a<br />

left-armed spinner, came on to<br />

bowl, so I came charging down<br />

the pitch at him in a fit of rage,<br />

first ball and smashed it straight<br />

back over him for six.<br />

Sledging has been a bit of a<br />

highlight recently. What was it<br />

like in your day?<br />

It is fair to say there was<br />

some good-natured banter. My<br />

experience was that sledging<br />

at international level was less<br />

than at club cricket level. The<br />

international players respected<br />

each other and there was a lot<br />

of encouragement for their own<br />

players.<br />

Who was the worst?<br />

No one was really standout for<br />

me, but the Aussies were very<br />

good at it. They thought they<br />

were superior and you had no<br />

right to be there. Very good at<br />

attempting to intimidate. But<br />

we didn’t back down either. I<br />

remember a match where Martin<br />

Crowe was having a stare down<br />

with Craig McDermott and he<br />

[Crowe] was blowing kisses back<br />

at him to show he wasn’t that<br />

worried.<br />

So club cricket was a bit<br />

rougher?<br />

Well, they thought that is<br />

how international cricketers<br />

acted towards each other. I have<br />

disciplined my own players on<br />

the park in the past. I had one<br />

of my players go from between<br />

fine leg and third man for about<br />

ten overs because of what he<br />

was saying to the opposition. I<br />

told him: “You know you have<br />

to have a drink with these guys<br />

afterwards?”<br />

What was the best you heard?<br />

Unprintable (laughing).<br />

When did you finish up<br />

playing international cricket?<br />

The last tour I played was<br />

against Australia, where (Sir)<br />

Richard Hadlee took 15 wickets<br />

at the Gabba (Brisbane) and I<br />

was lucky enough to make the<br />

100 in that game. We won the<br />

series 2-1, which I think is still<br />

the only time we have beaten<br />

them in a series over there. Then<br />

we came back to New Zealand<br />

and we won that series too when<br />

I was about 31. Then I got into<br />

teaching.<br />

Where and what did you<br />

teach?<br />

I taught geography, social<br />

studies, a bit of science and PE<br />

at Waitakere College.<br />

So you have played<br />

international cricket,<br />

taught, and worked for a<br />

council – what’s been your<br />

favourite out of those three<br />

vocations?<br />

I don’t know if I had a<br />

favourite. Your priorities change<br />

over time. Being a sportsman<br />

become all-consuming, and<br />

teaching was fantastic because I<br />

could be involved with cricket at<br />

the same time. At the time that<br />

was good. What I have found is<br />

that as new challenges pop up,<br />

you try your hand at new<br />

things.<br />

So you are originally from<br />

Auckland?<br />

I was born in Auckland, and<br />

I grew up in the Mount Roskill,<br />

Blockhouse Bay area. I went to<br />

Lynfield College and lived there<br />

until I was about 40.<br />

So you are a strong Blues and<br />

Aces supporter?<br />

I still support the Blues. My<br />

children, who have been down<br />

here a while now, lean towards<br />

red and black. But you won’t<br />

get the blue and white out of<br />

John Reid.<br />

GREAT BATSMAN: John Reid plays a pull shot watched<br />

by Northern Districts wicketkeeper Mike Wright in the<br />

late 1970s.<br />

Tell me about your family?<br />

Well I married Karen almost<br />

41 years ago and we have two<br />

daughters: Amanda Templeton,<br />

who has three children and lives<br />

in Leeston and works part-time<br />

with special needs children at<br />

Ellesmere College, and Carolyn<br />

Corbett, who has two children,<br />

lives in Rolleston and works as a<br />

teacher aide at Rolleston College.<br />

Carolyn also specialises in sports<br />

directing at the school.<br />

In your spare time I hear you<br />

don’t mind the odd round at<br />

Weedons Country Club?<br />

I am actually the president at<br />

the moment (laughing).<br />

Favourite/least favourite<br />

holes?<br />

The hole I find most<br />

difficult is number seven,<br />

Kalahari, it is a nasty dog-leg<br />

left. Nine, Reinga, is a challenge<br />

because it is one of the longest<br />

in Canterbury. I love the<br />

Devil’s Elbow, 13 – there are a<br />

number of ways to play that<br />

hole.<br />

Finally, would you ever move<br />

back to Auckland?<br />

I think it would have to be<br />

for a really good reason. My<br />

children and grandchildren are<br />

a great tie for me down here. I<br />

have nothing against Auckland,<br />

but I probably couldn’t afford a<br />

house (laughing).<br />

Thanks John, great chatting<br />

with you.

Team to lead Rolleston College<br />

ROLLESTON College has<br />

selected its new student<br />

leadership team.<br />

The team is made up of 35<br />

students who applied and were<br />

nominated by their peers for<br />

two specific leadership roles<br />

– whanau ambassadors and<br />

hauora council leaders.<br />

Four of the students – Ella<br />

Jarvis, Alessandra Ward, Luke<br />

Barratt, and Kate Stevens –<br />

received the inaugural Wero<br />

Award for leadership<br />

Ella said it was a privilege to<br />

be a foundation student at the<br />

new school last year.<br />

“I tried to make the most of<br />

my opportunities in all aspects<br />

of learning and I was awarded<br />

for my efforts,” she said.<br />

Ella wants to challenge herself<br />

more this year, learn more life<br />

skills and develop her netball<br />

ability. “Learning at the college<br />

has been a different experience,<br />

but I have adapted well and<br />

I have learnt in a new way,”<br />

LEADERS: Rolleston College<br />

students Ella Jarvis, Luke<br />

Barrett, Alessandra Ward<br />

and Kate Stevens are part of<br />

the new leadership team.<br />

she said. Alessandra said it is<br />

exciting to be on the leadership<br />

team.<br />

“My goals for this year are<br />

to support the students in<br />

continuing to grow our sense<br />

of community and to be part<br />

of the team helping to develop<br />

traditions that everyone will be<br />

proud of in the future,” she said.<br />

Rejuvenating Mahoe Reserve<br />

Lincoln Envirotown<br />

trustee Sue Jarvis writes<br />

about the working bee at<br />

Mahoe Reserve<br />

THE MAHOE Reserve is a<br />

native regeneration project<br />

started by the Lincoln<br />

Envirotown Trust and Lincoln<br />

High School year 9 students in<br />

2002.<br />

It aims to recreate vegetation<br />

similar to the scrub, woodland<br />

and forest which was prevalent<br />

in the area until a few<br />

thousand years ago when the<br />

Waimakariri River changed its<br />

course and came through the<br />

Lincoln area. This explains the<br />

presence of the shingle beds.<br />

The recovering woody<br />

vegetation was destroyed by<br />

fire about 700 years ago and<br />

later by the introduction of<br />

agriculture and a permanent<br />

settlement about 150 years ago.<br />

The plants used in the restoration<br />

are all locally-sourced<br />

to be genetically as close as<br />

possible to the originals. Planting<br />

was started in 2003 by a<br />

large number of high school<br />

students.<br />

Time and money have been<br />

donated by many local people<br />

as well as local and national<br />

organisations. The land is<br />

owned by the district council<br />

which has supported the<br />

reserve for the last few years. It<br />

is now looked after by the local<br />

community and has a management<br />

committee which is a<br />

subcommittee of the Lincoln<br />

Envirotown Trust.<br />

The Mahoe Reserve was<br />

named by school students after<br />

a small tree that would have<br />

existed in this area under canopies<br />

of the original lowland<br />

forest. Knowledge of the species<br />

present has been gained both<br />

from burnt logs that have been<br />

discovered in the quarry and<br />

Trust’s working<br />

Reserve.<br />

pollen analysis. The reserve<br />

is situated in an old shingle<br />

pit from which shingle was<br />

extracted for the railway and<br />

roading material.<br />

It then became an unofficial<br />

rubbish tip, and was finally<br />

leased by the Lincoln Golf Club<br />

until it was taken on as a project<br />

by the high school.<br />

The gorse and rubbish had to<br />

be cleared. The original designation<br />

of “shingle pit” has been<br />

changed by the district council<br />

to “reserve” and the district<br />

council now takes responsibility<br />

for the basic maintenance<br />

and provides some funds for<br />

the purchase of plants and<br />

plant guards.<br />

The reserve is a credit to all<br />

the year 9 students who had<br />

the original vision and started<br />

the process and all the students<br />

and other community members<br />

involved since then.<br />

The original students hoped<br />

the plants will have grown into<br />

a young forest by the time they<br />

bring their children to see it<br />

and, in some areas, this has<br />

already happened. Not that, as<br />

far as we know, any children<br />

of the original students have<br />

visited. We still need a lot of<br />

helpers, mainly to keep the<br />

weeds under control, also to<br />

help plant replacements for<br />

trees that died in the flooding a<br />

few years ago.<br />

We also need help to install<br />

plant information plaques<br />

about identifying and providing<br />

info about most of the<br />

species there.<br />

•Working bees are held<br />

on the first Sunday of the<br />

month at 2pm. The latest<br />

was held on Sunday, <strong>February</strong><br />

4, when we did a lot of<br />

weeding and made a start<br />

on installing the information<br />

plaques. If you can help, call<br />

Sue on 021 100 1009.<br />

Darfield High<br />

names head<br />

students<br />

DARFIELD HIGH School has<br />

named its new student leadership<br />

team.<br />

George Brown and Katie Sharp<br />

have taken on the role as head students<br />

for the year. George is hoping<br />

to use his role to help improve both<br />

Darfield and the wider community.<br />

He said the school’s team of prefects<br />

have come up with many new<br />

ideas to benefit the<br />

school, including<br />

an inter-school talent<br />

quest. Another<br />

event he is looking<br />

forward to helping<br />

run is the 40-hour<br />

famine.<br />

“This is always<br />

a terrific event<br />

because people<br />

from all areas of the<br />

school participate<br />

together to benefit<br />

those in need,” he<br />

said.<br />

Katie said she is<br />

excited about her<br />

role and is hoping<br />

to bring the school<br />

closer together. She<br />

will focus on the<br />

George<br />

Brown<br />

Katie Sharp<br />

school’s values – “pride for others,<br />

pride for ourselves and pride for our<br />

environment”, she said.<br />

“Alongside the head students are a<br />

great group of prefects who are full<br />

of ideas and enthusiasm to help us<br />

achieve our goals, and I can’t wait<br />

to see what we can do together as a<br />

team,” Katie said.<br />

George’s hobbies often involve<br />

water, including fly-fishing for trout<br />

in <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s waterways and freediving<br />

off Banks Peninsula.<br />

He has also recently taken up<br />

surfing. “I also trap possums,<br />

primarily to control pest numbers<br />

and give the wildlife a helping<br />

hand,” he said. George is a member<br />

of a smallbore shooting club, plays<br />

football and loves the outdoors.<br />

In her spare time, Katie likes<br />

to read, bake and take part in the<br />

performing arts. She recently played<br />

the Cowardly Lion in last year’s<br />

school production of The Wizard of<br />

Oz.

Leeston<br />

Has your dog visited<br />

Dog Park?<br />

Leeston now has its very own dog park – bring your pooch and check it out!<br />

The 1.8 hectare dog park is located in the area of Council land between the entrance to the A&P<br />

Showgrounds and the Ellesmere Heritage Park.<br />

The park opened late last year. It is fully fenced and features dog exercise equipment such as<br />

hurdles, jumps, a balance beam, pole weave, ramps, a tunnel and more. It also features a small<br />

pond and a grooming table.<br />

The project to establish the new park was promoted by the Leeston Community Committee.<br />

Stubble burning season is here<br />

Over the coming weeks you will likely see an increase in the number of stubble burns as the harvest<br />

progresses across the district.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> district remains in a restricted fire season, meaning that fires need a permit. However, stubble<br />

burning is still allowed during the current fire season.<br />

Fire and Emergency New Zealand (FENZ) has made stubble burning an approved fire in the <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

area. This means that no permit is required for an stubble burn in a restricted fire season provided there<br />

is total compliance with the FENZ rules and Federated Farmers of New Zealand guidelines. Under<br />

Environment Canterbury’s Air Regional Plan, anyone carrying out stubble burning must fill out a smoke<br />

management plan.<br />

Although stubble burning is an approved activity FENZ says that if you’re concerned about any smoke<br />

coming from a fire, you should call 111 and report it.<br />

Some basic safety guidelines which must be observed:<br />

· people must be careful to avoid lighting fires when strong or moderate winds are occurring or are forecast<br />

· all crop stubble fires may only be lit during daylight and must be out by dark<br />

· the fire must be supervised at all times<br />

· a fire break of no less than five metres in place is required around the area to be burned<br />

· suitable equipment must also be available to extinguish a fire<br />

· inform neighbours of the date/time of the stubble burn<br />

Watson bowls Weedons to win<br />

WEEDONS have kept<br />

themselves in title contention<br />

thanks to a mesmerising display<br />

of right-arm pace bowling from<br />

Josh Watson which helped them<br />

roll a young Lincoln side on<br />

Saturday.<br />

Watson was the star of the<br />

show at Weedons Domain,<br />

claiming 6/10 from just 3.5 overs,<br />

as Lincoln were bowled out for<br />

just 78. He then chipped in with<br />

the bat, finishing 19 not out to<br />

secure his side the six-wicket<br />

victory.<br />

The win moves Weedons<br />

within touching distance of competition<br />

leaders Leeston-Southbridge<br />

which lost to defending<br />

champions Sefton.<br />

With representative commitments<br />

and what was described<br />

as “an ill-timed wedding”, Sefton<br />

fielded a team with an average<br />

age in the golden oldies range,<br />

including club stalwarts Nick<br />

Proudfoot and Blair Walker.<br />

Leeston-Southbridge were<br />

rolled at home for just 90, which<br />

the visitors would reach with<br />

ease.<br />

Other results saw Southbrook<br />

win the one-day shield from the<br />

talented young Cheviot side.<br />

At Cheviot Domain, the home<br />

side batted well to compile 221,<br />

with Scott Burnett top-scoring<br />

on 58.<br />

Milligan has the Toyota 86<br />

Championship title in his sights<br />

after extending his<br />

championship lead<br />

in the penultimate<br />

round at the<br />

weekend.<br />

In three races at<br />

Manfeild’s Circuit<br />

Chris Amon,<br />

Feilding, Milligan<br />

took two wins and a second in a<br />

dominant performance.<br />

“It was the perfect weekend for<br />

us really,” said Milligan.<br />

“The boys had the car hooked<br />

After he was out for 102, fellow<br />

seasoned campaigner Darryn<br />

the target, nine wickets down.<br />

Park pitch and slow outfield,<br />

visiting Darfield-South Malvern<br />

scrapped for a hard-fought victory<br />

over Oxford-Rangiora.<br />

Darfield-South Malvern won<br />

the toss and elected to bat first.<br />

After struggling early on with<br />

the moving ball, Darfield-South<br />

Malvern went from 100/8 to<br />

166/9 off 45 overs thanks to an<br />

incredible innings by Anoop<br />

Surendran.<br />

up from the first couple of<br />

practice sessions so we knew we<br />

had a strong chance.”<br />

Milligan got the weekend off to<br />

a perfect start, with a dominant<br />

victory from pole<br />

position in the opening<br />

race on Saturday.<br />

In the second race<br />

on Sunday morning,<br />

Michael Scott leapt into<br />

contention with the<br />

win and Milligan took<br />

second overall.<br />

Then in the final race on<br />

Sunday afternoon, Milligan took<br />

the win ahead of Jordan Baldwin<br />

and Michael Scott.<br />

Milligan now holds a 36-point<br />

Surendran clubbed 45 off just<br />

19 balls in what would prove to<br />

be a decisive innings.<br />

Oxford-Rangiora got off to a<br />

flyer in response before losing<br />

three quick wickets. Some handy<br />

partnerships got them through<br />

to 127/6 and a sniff of victory.<br />

But Darfield-South Malvern<br />

hung tough and eventually<br />

bowled the hosts out for <strong>14</strong>9 after<br />

39 overs.<br />

Scoreboard:<br />

•Lincoln 78 (R Clarke 20; J<br />

For those wanting a more intimate<br />

cooked Italian sweet wine Marsala<br />

sauce and chicken pate.<br />

or calamari salad entrée, the velvety<br />

or pizza bread will whet the appetite<br />

while an Italian dessert like the<br />

egg-free Tiramisu or Panna Cotta<br />

pudding will complete the evening.<br />

IRRIGATION<br />

How farms are working to reduce<br />

their environmental impact<br />

It’s been a busy time for many <strong>Selwyn</strong> farms<br />

over the past few months. After a record<br />

breaking dry spell in late 2017, we received<br />

some welcome rain in January. In conditions<br />

like these, irrigation is really important both<br />

for farmers and rural communities but also<br />

for our food supply. Most commercial fruit<br />

and vegetables, wine, grain and some of our<br />

meat and dairy products are grown with<br />

irrigation which helps to reduce price spikes<br />

or food shortages when we don’t get enough<br />

rain.<br />

Along with the business of producing food,<br />

local farms are deep into environmental<br />

matters at the moment. 900 <strong>Selwyn</strong> farms<br />

need to obtain a land use consent to farm,<br />

with just over 500 farms having already<br />

prepared Farm Environment Plans.<br />

The <strong>Selwyn</strong> Te Waihora catchment<br />

has some of the strictest farming rules in<br />

Canterbury. Consents are required if farms<br />

are above a certain nitrogen discharge<br />

level or are in some designated areas. The<br />

new rules require farms to significantly<br />

reduce their nitrogen losses – for example<br />

dairy farms need to reduce their nitrogen<br />

leaching by 30% by 2022. Nitrogen levels<br />

in groundwater will improve over time as a<br />

result of the changes introduced now.<br />

Groundwater extraction in <strong>Selwyn</strong> is also<br />

expected to reduce from September when<br />

farms on stage two of Central Plains Water<br />

(CPW) switch from using groundwater<br />

to alpine water. This is also expected to<br />

result in improved flows in groundwater<br />

fed streams like the<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> River. CPW’s<br />

consent was granted<br />

some time ago.<br />

New groundwater<br />

irrigation consents<br />

are prohibited under<br />

the new rules.<br />

Farmers applying<br />

for consents to<br />

farm need to<br />

meet a number of<br />

requirements, with<br />

the preparation of<br />

farm environment<br />

plans being a<br />

key requirement.<br />

Those who use<br />

irrigation have<br />

their water metered<br />

and monitored and need to be using soil<br />

moisture monitoring tools to ensure water is<br />

only applied when needed.<br />

Farmers need to map their farms to<br />

identify features which need protection like<br />

native planting or waterways which need<br />

to be fenced off from stock. Phosphate and<br />

nitrogen losses must be recorded, and actions<br />

put in place to reduce these losses over time.<br />

Farmers also need to minimise erosion and<br />

make sure any effluent is managed according<br />

to regional council rules.<br />

Each farm will have their environment<br />

plan audited by an independent auditor who<br />

reports the results back to Environment<br />

Canterbury. It’s not a one-off process but an<br />

ongoing one with regular audits carried out<br />

in the future. No doubt some farms will do<br />

very well, while others will need to lift their<br />

game. The aim is to achieve continuous<br />

improvement and over time standards will<br />

be lifted so what was acceptable in <strong>2018</strong><br />

won’t be in 2025.<br />

This is a new process so it hasn’t been easy<br />

for farmers to know where to start. If you’ve<br />

put the hard work in to the development<br />

of your plan – well done! You now have a<br />

roadmap in place to sustainable farming<br />

which will benefit everyone.<br />

Beating<br />

the dry<br />

spell<br />

The way to beat the dry spell we<br />

are experiencing and to safeguard<br />

Rolleston-based irrigation specialists,<br />

Freeman Irrigation, suggest that the way to<br />

beat the dry spell we are experiencing and<br />

safeguard your property against fire is with a<br />

top-quality irrigation system.<br />

They design, supply and install irrigation<br />

systems for all types of property using Toro<br />

which meet industry standards and last for<br />

many years. They also stock the new wi-fi<br />

Freeman Irrigation also provides full<br />

servicing for irrigation equipment, and<br />

checked annually to make sure they are<br />

operating correctly.<br />

Gardening<br />

Don’t let the heat impact your plants<br />

ALTHOUGH WE delight in the<br />

summer heat and sunshine, <strong>February</strong><br />

can be a challenging month<br />

for your garden.<br />

The extreme weather, such as<br />

high temperatures, strong winds<br />

and minimal rainfall can have a<br />

big impact.<br />

However, it’s an important<br />

time for harvesting in the home<br />

orchard and vegetable garden so<br />

there is plenty to do.<br />

Keep harvesting those delicious<br />

summer vegetables such<br />

as tomatoes, sweet corn, beans,<br />

lettuce, capsicum, aubergines and<br />

cucumbers. Water plants regularly<br />

to ensure even ripening, and<br />

mulch with compost.<br />

Snip off dead or dying growth<br />

and remove any plants that are<br />

diseased; especially those with<br />

blight, which, unfortunately, cannot<br />

be treated once it takes hold,<br />

and will quickly kill crops like<br />

tomatoes. Remove any vegetable<br />

plants that have cropped and<br />

finished for the season to provide<br />

room for winter vegetables that<br />

can be planted towards the end<br />

of the month, such as broccoli,<br />

brussels sprouts, cabbages and<br />

cauliflower, which will mature in<br />

early winter.<br />

Although it can be a tedious<br />

task, keep dead-heading summer<br />

flowering annuals in posts or<br />

the garden to encourage the last<br />

blooms of the season.<br />

It’s also time to plan for autumn/winter<br />

flowering displays.<br />

Begin sowing seeds of winter<br />

annuals like alyssum, calendulas,<br />

primulas, nemesias, pansies, polyanthus,<br />

stock, violas and wallflowers.<br />

These “potted colour”<br />

varieties will brighten up containers<br />

or parts of the garden that<br />

need a bit of colour during winter.<br />

Late season peaches and plums<br />

are now maturing. After crops<br />

are finished, future-proof with a<br />

light summer prune and thin out<br />

old growth. Reduce the height<br />

of trees to allow for easy picking<br />

next season. Make sure all fruit<br />

trees are well mulched to help<br />

retain soil moisture levels and<br />

reduce weed growth. They can be<br />

fertilised from mid-<strong>February</strong> as<br />

rain begins to arrive.<br />

Mid to late summer is a tough<br />

time for roses. However, if well<br />

cared for, they will continue<br />

blooming well into autumn,<br />

especially the hardy ‘iceberg’ variety.<br />

Dead head plants regularly,<br />

ensure they have plenty of water<br />

PLANNING AHEAD: Late <strong>February</strong> is the beginning of the<br />

bulb planting season, get them in now for spring colour. Also<br />

remove any vegetable plants that have cropped and finished<br />

for the season.<br />

and apply mulch.<br />

As temperatures begin to<br />

reduce, begin applying fertiliser at<br />

four to six weekly intervals.<br />

Lawns tend to suffer this<br />

month. They often appear very<br />

dry with brown patches and the<br />

ground can have quite alarming<br />

cracks in places.<br />

Where water is readily available<br />

(and not too expensive), irrigate<br />

regularly in the cooler parts of the<br />

day. Although tempting to start<br />

now, keep any major renovation<br />

or repair work until autumn.<br />

Late <strong>February</strong> is the beginning<br />

of the bulb planting season so<br />

start thinking about varieties you<br />

would like to grow.<br />

These include anemones, crocus,<br />

daffodils, freesias, hyacinth,<br />

iris, jonquil, Ixia, lachenalias,<br />

muscari, nerines, ranunculus,<br />

tulips and watsonias.<br />

Prepare the soil thoroughly<br />

before planting by adding in<br />

compost to the existing soil.<br />

Bulbs thrive in an open, sunny<br />

position where the soil is friable<br />

and well-drained. Plant them in<br />

clumps to provide an attractive<br />

display.<br />

Urban<br />

Urban<br />

Fruit<br />

Your fruit trees will be needing a prune now. This will allow more space<br />

for light to get onto your ripening fruit, as well as getting better airflow<br />

around the plant to reduce diseases spreading.<br />

Strawberries are great, not only do they taste amazing but the more<br />

you pick them the more they will grow! To keep them in good health,<br />

remove any laterals or old leaves that look unhealthy. They will love a<br />

feed of fertiliser too.<br />

Veggies<br />

Tomato plants will benefit from an even,<br />

regular watering. If you haven’t<br />

done so already, remove any<br />

laterals. These are the long<br />

side-ways growing branches.<br />

Your potatoes will need to be<br />

treated for blight and psyllid, and kept weed-free.<br />

Silver beet, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and lettuce can continue<br />

to be planted out now as the soil temperatures drop.<br />

Four things you MUST do before buying a home<br />

Buying a home is a big deal. It’s likely to be the most expensive thing you buy, and it can be a complicated legal<br />

process. It’s even tougher in a hot market, where there is a lot of competition for a limited number of properties.<br />

It might be tempting to take a few shortcuts, but failing to do things properly could cause more problems later.<br />

Here are our top four tasks for home<br />

buyers.<br />

1. Research the property<br />

The real estate agent selling the property<br />

acts on behalf of the seller, however they<br />

are also required to tell you everything<br />

they know about the property. They<br />

must respond professionally to all your<br />

enquiries and not withhold any details.<br />

Remember that you still need to do your<br />

own due diligence. That means getting a<br />

title search so you can find out all the facts<br />

about the property’s ownership, boundary<br />

and access, as held by Land Information<br />

New Zealand (LINZ). It’s a good idea to<br />

get a Land Information Memorandum<br />

(LIM), which shows information held<br />

by the local council about the property<br />

and land. For valuable feedback on the<br />

property’s condition, get a report done<br />

by an inspector who has professional<br />

indemnity insurance and carries out their<br />

work in accordance with the New Zealand<br />

Property Inspection Standard. Although<br />

this all costs money, it will save you more<br />

in the long term. Sellers may occasionally<br />

provide some of this information for you.<br />

If this happens, check that it is up-to-date.<br />

2. Get legal advice<br />

Buying property is expensive, and it can<br />

cost even more if something goes wrong.<br />

That’s why it’s important to get legal advice<br />

before you sign anything. A lawyer will<br />

handle all the paperwork involved in the<br />

process, including the title search, and<br />

offer impartial advice. If you don’t have a<br />

lawyer, the New Zealand Law Society can<br />

help you find one at propertylawyers.org.<br />

nz.<br />

3. Understand the sale process<br />

There are several methods of buying and<br />

selling property, for example, tender or<br />

auction. It’s important to understand the<br />

process for the property you are buying.<br />

Practices can vary between agencies so<br />

make sure you confirm details with them.<br />

The Home Buyer’s Guide at buyingahome.<br />

reaa.govt.nz has more helpful advice.<br />

3<br />

4. Read the sale and purchase<br />

agreement and understand what it<br />

means<br />

The sale and purchase agreement is your<br />

contract with the seller. It is crucial to read<br />

it very carefully and get legal advice before<br />

you sign. You can negotiate the terms and<br />

conditions of an agreement, but once you<br />

sign it, there’s no going back.<br />

ADVICE for<br />

maintaining<br />

your home<br />

As most New Zealanders’ homes are<br />

their biggest investments it’s important to<br />

protect them. Good maintenance will:<br />

• Keep your home safe and secure<br />

• Keep you and your family healthy<br />

• Save you money by allowing you to fix<br />

problems before they get bigger<br />

• Protect your financial investment<br />

What’s the best way to<br />

approach maintenance?<br />

Carry out regular preventative<br />

maintenance to prevent some problems<br />

from occurring.<br />

Maintaining your home<br />

Plan ahead for major maintenance tasks.<br />

Be prepared for emergencies – know<br />

where and how the water, gas and power<br />

supplies turn off.<br />

Moisture<br />

Damp homes are unhealthy and harder<br />

to heat. Combat persistent damp in your<br />

home by:<br />

• Insulating (under the floor, in the<br />

ceiling and walls).<br />

• Ventilating (including extractor fans<br />

in bathrooms and kitchens, opening<br />

windows, using a dehumidifier or forced<br />

ventilation system and keeping vents<br />

clear).<br />

• Heating (aim to keep the indoor<br />

temperature at a minimum of 16C).<br />

• Replacing unflued gas heaters with<br />

electric or flued gas heaters.<br />

DIY or professional?<br />

You need to be realistic about your limits.<br />

It is better to hire a tradesperson and<br />

get the job done properly than to make<br />

costly mistakes. By law, some jobs need<br />

to be done by a professional, such as gas,<br />

plumbing, drainage and some electrical<br />

work. Major maintenance matters.<br />

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

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

Bathroom trends<br />

Larger bathrooms with room for more<br />

than just to bathe have been a recent trend<br />

in New Zealand while overseas, smaller<br />

practical albeit luxurious areas are now<br />

featuring.<br />

Master bedrooms with ensuites are<br />

now almost an essential inclusion when<br />

building and it is not unusual for a<br />

second bedroom to have its own ensuite.<br />

Overhead or his and hers shower heads are<br />

another trend proving popular.<br />

Walk-in showers have a strong following<br />

however people are still opting for shower<br />

cubicles with 1,200 and 1,000 square metre<br />

options preferred, and curved cubicles<br />

may be chosen where space is limited or<br />

for smoother lines.<br />

The uptake of black or dark vanities<br />

and baths has not been major with many<br />

people still preferring the standard white<br />

for its fresher look and due to it showing<br />

less splash marks and smears.<br />

The size of the home and number of<br />

occupants including their age range will<br />

influence the capaciousness of a bathroom.<br />

A design chosen from a building company<br />

or influenced by the designer might also<br />

be a factor as will personal preference.<br />

Physically assess the size of a bathroom<br />

on a plan, to determine if it suits your<br />

needs. Think about whether a wider little<br />

room might rob space from another part<br />

of the home like a bedroom and whether it<br />

makes more sense to shift a wall especially<br />

if space elsewhere is tight. Consider the<br />

placement of the main bathroom and<br />

toilet in terms of both living areas and the<br />

bedrooms they will service.<br />

Bathrooms and kitchens add expense<br />

to a build. The more bathrooms, the<br />

higher the cost though having a toilet<br />

with small washbasin may offer privacy<br />

from the family’s bedroom quarters or be<br />

convenient where you are working in the<br />

garage or outdoors and would rather not<br />

traipse dirt through the house. The other<br />

side of the coin is: the more bathrooms,<br />

the more cleaning.<br />

Wall hung soft close toilets are now<br />

popular and easy clean units that fit flush<br />

to the wall, a must. However, high tech<br />

versions which play music or include seat<br />

warmers, deodorisers and air dryers are<br />

taking their time to break into the New<br />

Zealand market. Storage places for towels<br />

and other personal care items are also<br />

something we are seeing.<br />

Elegance and luxury still feature in the<br />

modern bathroom, in the fittings and<br />

accessories. Free standing baths add to<br />

the illusion that this is a place to escape<br />

and feel pampered, a long soak helping<br />

you forget the troubles of the world. On a<br />

practical note, will there be room to easily<br />

clean around the bath?<br />

Carrying the tiling up the walls is now<br />

more common and certainly makes<br />

cleaning easier. We are also seeing more<br />

detail in the tiles with feature panels and<br />

uniquely shaped tiles incorporated to add<br />

a splash of colour or interest. Colour wise,<br />

earthy and monochromatic palettes are<br />

still in vogue.<br />

Take time to visit bathroom suppliers<br />

and showhomes to gather ideas for your<br />

new or renovated little rooms.<br />

Matt and Kim love spending<br />

What to ask at<br />

an open home<br />

It’s easy to get carried away when you’re searching through<br />

property listings for the house of your dreams. But if you’re not<br />

careful, home buying can become a nightmare.<br />

“Buying a property is a complex and<br />

potentially stressful process, not least<br />

because it involves such a scary amount<br />

of money,” says Kevin Lampen-Smith,<br />

chief executive at the Real Estate Agents<br />

Authority (REAA).<br />

“It’s smart to do as much as you can to<br />

reduce the risk of unwelcome surprises or<br />

unexpected costs further down the line.”<br />

In the first instance, Lampen-Smith<br />

recommends drawing up a list of questions<br />

to ask about properties you’re interested in.<br />

“Remember that you can ask the real<br />

estate agent anything you like about the<br />

property,” he says. “They are also required<br />

to tell you everything they know and not<br />

withhold any details.”<br />

If you’re not sure what to ask, here’s a<br />

handy list of questions. Open homes can<br />

be busy, so ask the agent if you can talk on<br />

the phone, or send questions via email.<br />

- Have there been any issues with the<br />

property, such as earthquake damage or<br />

water-tightness?<br />

- Are there any offers on the property,<br />

or have any contracts been cancelled by<br />

potential buyers?<br />

- How long has it been on the market?<br />

What is the seller’s preferred settlement<br />

date?<br />

- What maintenance, repairs or<br />

improvements have been carried out? Do<br />

these have permits?<br />

- Is there a Land Information<br />

Memorandum (LIM) available or a<br />

building report prepared by an accredited<br />

property surveyor?<br />

- Is the property well-maintained? What<br />

condition are the roof, piles, wiring, and<br />

plumbing in?<br />

- Is the property insulated? If so, to what<br />

degree (eg walls, underfloor, ceiling)?<br />

- Is there any risk of methamphetamine<br />

(P) contamination?<br />

- If there is a body corporate (usually for<br />

apartments), what does that entail?<br />

- Are there any issues with neighbours<br />

or planned developments?<br />

“If you are seriously considering making<br />

an offer, you will need to do your own<br />

research and seek professional advice. It<br />

may well become your home, so you need<br />

to know as much about it as possible to<br />

save unhappy surprises later,” Lampen-<br />

Smith says.<br />

“Knowing the right questions to ask is a<br />

good starting point.”<br />

Making the most of<br />

show home viewing<br />

Looking through show homes is a great way to get ideas for<br />

features and fittings to put into a new home. It can also be helpful<br />

for getting a spatial feel for other aspects of a house design.<br />

Before heading out for a day’s<br />

viewing, conduct an internet search.<br />

identify the locations of show home<br />

villages and the types and sizes of the<br />

various building company’s homes on<br />

display, noting down the square metre<br />

size of each home.<br />

if wanting a high end, architectural<br />

design, focus on the larger homes that<br />

have desirable design features. if at the<br />

entry or middle level of the market,<br />

earmark homes that fit this taking in<br />

other show homes for extra ideas.<br />

allow sufficient time when visiting each<br />

show home, asking for a floor plan that<br />

has room sizes before walking through.<br />

Check also the floor to ceiling height<br />

of the rooms and consider how this feels<br />

and whether you prefer a cosier feel with<br />

the standard ceiling eight of 2.4 metres or<br />

more spaciousness created with a higher<br />

stud or exposed ceiling beams.<br />

if doors and windows are taller than<br />

normal, weigh their effect in creating<br />

a more luxurious and spacious feel,<br />

against potential inconvenience for small<br />

children, cleaning and maintenance.<br />

on entering each room, take account of<br />

how much furniture is in each room and<br />

whether there is sufficient space for the<br />

furniture you will have in the room and<br />

the size needed in a walk-in robe. Look<br />

too, at storage capacity throughout the<br />

home and whether this is adequate.<br />

in the living areas, consider whether a<br />

lounge separated from the family living<br />

room or a true open plan kitchen, dining,<br />

living/lounge area is preferable, and<br />

compare internal kitchens with those that<br />

have natural light.<br />

Look too at the layout of<br />

the kitchen: whether to have<br />

an island sink or breakfast<br />

bar where a newspaper can<br />

be read, and children can<br />

sit and draw or complete<br />

homework; the positioning<br />

of appliances; and how<br />

important having a pantry is.<br />

for the little rooms, equate<br />

space and features desired<br />

with that needed, especially<br />

if the budget needs to be<br />

sharp. it might be nice to<br />

have a large walk-in shower<br />

with double shower heads<br />

but is this just fanciful and<br />

will the extra cleaning annoy you long<br />

term. a laundry in the garage is also more<br />

economical though a separate laundry<br />

may be handier.<br />

Bring the garage size into the equation<br />

also. as these vary considerably, assess<br />

the actual measurements of each garage<br />

viewed comparing this with the space<br />

needed for your motor vehicles and other<br />

items to be stored there. if a good number<br />

of toys will be housed there, it may be<br />

sensible to increase the size of this area of<br />

the home.<br />

By imagining what you need, want and<br />

will have in your new home, you will be in<br />

a better position to confidently choose a<br />

design that works for you.<br />

Dressing your property<br />

up for sale<br />

First impressions count from the<br />

moment potential buyers view a<br />

property from the street to the moment<br />

they walk through the front door.<br />

Weed the garden, cut back unruly<br />

shrubs and prune trees where needed.<br />

Kill off weeds in the lawn, sprinkle grass<br />

seed over bald patches and fertilise the<br />

lawn.<br />

Indoors, tidy up. Get rid of excess or<br />

bulky furniture, toys, books, hobby items<br />

or fitness equipment and if too many<br />

photos on the wall pack these away so<br />

the home looks roomy.<br />

If there is a gap or a room needs<br />

enhancing, look at what you have. A<br />

piece of furniture might be painted up<br />

or an old leather bound book popped<br />

on the coffee table. Shelves will also add<br />

depth to a narrow space while mirrors<br />

may give the illusion of a larger space. In<br />

entryways, add an easy chair, small table,<br />

bookcase or large vase.<br />

Awkward spaces such as coved ceilings<br />

in attics or upstairs rooms might be<br />

converted into storage shelving and<br />

the room given a purpose as an office,<br />

playroom or extra bedroom so viewers<br />

can see how the room might be used.<br />

Stow possessions neatly in containers,<br />

shelving or tidily in cupboards;<br />

highlighting the storage potential within<br />

the home, ensuring it is clean and tidy<br />

for viewing at any time.<br />

Move the pets outside as not all buyers<br />

will be pet lovers while some may suffer<br />

pet allergies putting them off a house if<br />

they see a pet inside.<br />

If parts of the house look tired,<br />

consider renovating by painting walls,<br />

replacing worn carpet, or modernising<br />

the kitchen, bathroom and toilet;<br />

rooms that should sparkle. Replace<br />

tired cabinetry, or the benches and<br />

cupboard/drawer fronts then update old<br />

toilets, showers or kitchen appliances.<br />

Modernising these rooms can lift the<br />

final selling price.<br />

Use consistent and light paint<br />

colours throughout for balance and<br />

seamlessness, making the house<br />

appear more spacious. An effect that is<br />

increased when walls and curtains share<br />

the same or a similar colour.<br />

Consider the personality and purpose<br />

of a room. Bright colours lift living areas<br />

especially if large and open. However,<br />

Your house is on the market and you hope to get a good<br />

price. While market performance will largely influence this,<br />

presenting your home at its best will help.<br />

bedrooms are suited to calmer softer<br />

colours with just a touch of bold. Layer<br />

bedding or use throws for effect along<br />

with cushions or a stuffed toy in a<br />

children’s room.<br />

With curtaining, smaller patterns or<br />

plain fabrics are the rule for smaller<br />

rooms whereas larger patterns make<br />

spacious areas cosier. If blinds or drapes<br />

are past their best, replace these even if it<br />

is only with neutral cotton curtains. The<br />

effect will be worth it.<br />

Eco-friendly features will also add<br />

value for some buyers though not<br />

universally, however earthy natural<br />

colours and features are popular.<br />

Consider who your target buyers are<br />

likely to be and what will appeal to them.<br />
