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 />

has a proposal for a third site of<br />

has been granted the licence,<br />
it cannot exercise it without<br />
landowner approval. The city<br />
council has not given any such<br />

Hogan.<br />

Fulton Hogan was granted the<br />

“Any discoveries are then<br />

required. Fulton Hogan were<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 />

Mrs Butcher said the<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 />
Goodwin said the<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 />

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 />

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 />

I read the article which<br />
quite clearly appears that<br />
the decision to chlorinate<br />

about science leading the<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 />

Wednesday <strong>February</strong> <strong>14</strong> <strong>2018</strong> 13<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 />

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 />

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 />

PREBBLETON driver Jack<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 />
In Rangiora on a sub-par Dudley<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 />
Watson 6/10, B Nightingale<br />
2/4) lost to Weedons 80/4 (G<br />

For those wanting a more intimate<br />
Italian dining experience there are<br />

cooked Italian sweet wine Marsala<br />
sauce and chicken pate.<br />
For starters, a fresh crisp prawn<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 />

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 />

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 />
