Rugby legend seriously ill
• By Gordon Findlater
RUGBY LEGEND Fergie McCormick
is in a serious condition in hospital.
Friends of the 78-year-old former All
Blacks and Canterbury fullback have
told the Selwyn Times his condition is
serious but he is remaining upbeat.
McCormick, who lives in Springston,
has throat cancer. He was admitted to
Christchurch Hospital last Tuesday.
McCormick played 16 matches for
the All Blacks and holds the record for
the most games for Canterbury at 222.
McCormick first played representative
rugby for Canterbury in 1958 against
Wellington. The following year he
played 12 matches for Canterbury
including the famous 20–14 victory
over the touring British and Irish Lions.
McCormick was also part of the
infamous ‘Battle of Lancaster Park’ in
1971 against the Lions which is best
remembered for broken bones and
blood rather than the 6-8 score line in
favour of the Lions.
After beginning his career for
Canterbury at first-five he made the
eventual switch to fullback where he is
best remembered for his play.
In 1965 he was selected for his first
All Blacks test against South Africa.
He was next selected for the All Blacks
in 1967 for their tour of Canada, Great
Britain and France. He was a regular
starter for the All Blacks and toured
with them to South Africa in 1970. His
final appearance for the All Blacks was
against the Lions in 1971.
In his 18-year Canterbury career
McCormick scored a record 1297
points for Canterbury.
The McCormick family was
unwilling to comment yesterday.

from the editor’s desk
Helping beat adversity
SELWYN SOUNDS has come up trumps
again for community groups (see page 3).
Quite a bit of money is heading to Lincoln
High School and Lincoln rugby’s golden
oldies team.
The school will use the funds to help pay
for students’ trips, which covers both cultural and sporting visits.
The golden oldies haven’t yet decided what they’ll put their
money to but no doubt they have some out-of-town campaigns
in mind.
And they didn’t get the money for nothing. Lincoln High
students and golden oldies worked tirelessly at Selwyn Sounds, in
the car parks, on the gates, on the bars and so on. And with the
huge crown the event attracted it was tough yakka.
So the money is well earned and top marks for the event promoters
putting dollars back into community groups.
Sad news about Fergie McCormick (page 1). He is a true Canterbury
rugby legend. Our thoughts are with him and his family.

Rock event benefits district
WORKING CLASS MAN:
Jimmy Barnes in full voice at
Selwyn Sounds.
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
A SCHOOL and a sports team
have benefited from Selwyn
Sounds.
Lincoln High School and the
Lincoln rugby golden oldies
team have received thousands
of dollars from the day-long
music festival which attracted
just under 10,000 people earlier
this month.
Said event promoter David
Parlane: “It is like any event.
Any event requires community
support and you have got to
give back to community. That
is what Selwyn Sounds is all
about.”
Nearly $9000 was raised for
Lincoln High School with the
money to go towards helping
pay for student trips.
It will help with volleyball
trips, students going to Samoa
to do community work, the
school’s senior A netball team,
the World Challenge trip to
Nepal and a group travelling to
Japan.
Students sold artisan-style
picnic hampers at Selwyn
Sounds and helped with car
parking and on the gates.
Deputy principal Stephen
Rout said Mr Parlane has been
very supportive of the school
community and it will be looking
to get involved again next
year.
More than $10,000 was raised
for the Lincoln Golden Oldies.
President Mark Tweedy said
while it was a “hard day,” it was
worth it.

District councillors argue
over water race closures
• By Georgia O’Connor-
Harding
THE CLOSURE of water
races has sparked more
conflict around the district
council table.
District councillor Debra
Hasson had her concerns
over water race closures
at Malvern and Ellesmere
swiftly
rebutted
by district
councillor
Craig
Watson at
a recent
meeting.
A report
to close
Debra
Hasson
10.9km of water races in
the Malvern scheme and
6.6km in the Ellesmere
scheme was approved at
the meeting.
Cr Hasson was the only
councillor to vote against
it.
She called for a review
of maps outlining sites
of ecological value in the
Malvern and Ellesmere
water race schemes.
Cr Hasson was concerned
the maps have not
been updated since 2011
and the latest strategic
Eggstravaganza
BuffE t
april 1 st
water race draft has not
taken the current water
races ecological issues into
account.
The strategic water race
draft shows which races
are considered a priority
and what is deemed
unimportant or minor.
But Cr Watson was
critical of Cr Hasson’s
comments, calling for a
point of order.
It is not the first time
the matter has come
to a head between the
two councillors. He
said Cr Hasson was
“grandstanding” and the
closures had gone through
a “long” and “sound”
decision process.
Cr Watson said everything
has been considered
by the district council’s
water race sub-committee
and wasn’t sure why the
decision was being mitigated.
The strategic water
race draft is currently
out for consultation with
Environment Canterbury’s
water zone committees
including the Christchurch
West Melton Water Zone
Committee and the
Selwyn Waihora Zone
Committee. Cr Hasson
later told Selwyn Times she
would like an ecologist to
update the 2011 maps to be
in line with the National
Policy Statement for
Freshwater Management.
The 2011 maps currently
show water races of key
biological significance
including water races near
Darfield Primary
School
and the
Glentunnel
golf course.
But the
extent of
the Leeston
Dunsandel
Rd closure is
Craig
Watson
subject to further ecological
approval from the Department
of Conservation.
DOC raised concerns
the water race had mudfish
which has the same threat
ranking as kakapo and
black stilt.
Cr Hasson told Selwyn
Times she wasn’t “grandstanding”.
“I represent a view
held by many in the
community and as an
elected representative it
deserves to be heard,” she
said.

with family & good friends. So get

‘Take care at intersections’
Selwyn MP Amy Adams
writes about the district
council’s new road safety
campaign reminding
motorists to take care at
intersections
Amy Adams
Selwyn MP
I SEE that the district council has
recently launched a road safety
campaign reminding Selwyn
motorists of the need to take care
at intersections.
While I hope that this campaign
will help focus people’s attention
on the unacceptably high
rate of crashes at intersections in
our regions, I think we need to
do more.
Sixty one per cent of intersection
crashes in Selwyn are caused
by a failure to stop or give way.
Often drivers do not realise
they are approaching an intersection
until far too late.
One effective method of
alerting drivers early that an
intersection is coming up is using
warning signs.
Back in 2016, I was present
at the launch of the trial of
advanced warning signs at four
Selwyn intersections.
These active warning signs
were developed by Sergeant Dan
Harker and work by flashing
when a car is approaching an
upcoming stop sign.
The signs function by using solar-powered
flashing LED lights
and vehicle detection sensors.
The trial of these signs was due
to run until October last year
and if you drive around Selwyn
you will likely have noticed
them at the following four
intersections – Maddisons and
Weedons Ross Rds, West Melton
and Hoskyns Rds, Hamptons
and Shands Rds and Hoskyns
and Sandy Knolls Rds.
I would like to see additional
signs like this at other hazardous
intersections around Selwyn.
The district council has stated
that it has provided a report
to the New Zealand Transport
Agency on the results of the trial
and it has indicated that it is
considering trialling the signs at
other sites around the country to
further evaluate them.
On another note, I am pleased
to see that the latest quarterly
figures from Infometrics showed
that Selwyn’s economy continued
to strengthen during the latter
part of last year.
According to the figures,
Selwyn’s gross domestic product
grew by 3.9 per cent in the
December 2017 year, which is
well above the national average
of 2.8 per cent.
Retail spending in our district
also grew by a healthy 13 per cent
during the same period, once
again significantly outperforming
the national average of 4.3
per cent.
Spending by visitors to Selwyn
also grew by 14 per cent during
last year, with tourism expenditure
in the district totalling about
$102 million during the year.
PLANS: An extension to the Selwyn Aquatic Centre is
proposed to cater for the district’s growing population as part
of the draft Long Term Plan. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
Readers respond to
a Selwyn Times’ article
on population growth
remaining the greatest
challenge for the district
council as it launches into
its draft Long Term Plan
2018-2028
Jan and John Zervos – The
Canterbury Plains are beginning
to look like every other seething
metropolis.
Towns morphing into cities,
sardine sub-divisions, more
congested highways and
skyways, and a separation from
east to west. The haves and the
have-nots.
High-density living, industrial
disease and the problems that
come with it.
They’re old, backwards,
out-dated thought forms
regurgitated by consultancy
groups using computer
modelling to push a particular
perception of what the 21st
century could look like.

The current trending of
destructive unbridled growth
across Canterbury by these
manipulative processes is
unsustainable and set to cease as
people wake-up, wise-up, stepup
and speak-up. Consumerism
is destined to fade away. To grow
and evolve wider actually takes
a reconnection with nature and
a gradual disconnection from
the economic system which has
been covertly and corruptly
used to continually degrade our
biological environment and us.
A prime example is the
degradation of our aquifers
since the turn of the century.
The corruption is now out in
the open and everyone needs to
step-up and support groups like
Aotearoa Water Action.
This is it. Now is the time to
shift, rediscover and focus on a
more pristine and harmonious
way for us and our families to
dwell on this beautiful planet.

HISTORIC trains could
once again run from
Springfield to Arthur’s
Pass.
The Midland Railway
Heritage Trust is in the
process of opening a workshop
in Springfield for
restoring trains.
The workshop, opposite
the railway station, will
promote railway heritage
in the township.
The trust’s chairman
Alan Roberts said it is
possible when the trains
are restored they will
run on the Midland
Line.
He said it is important
railway heritage is celebrated
and it is a top priority
to conserve the area and
station.
It comes as The Friends
of Springfield Station plans
to beautify the railway station
to transform it into a
community hub.
Already, the trust has
three trains to restore –
including two UCsteam
locomotives and a 1890 LA
train recovered from the
Grey River on the West
Coast.
TRANSFORMATION: One of the UCsteam
locomotives recovered from the West Coast’s Grey
River will be restored as part of the Midland Railway
Heritage Trust’s project at Springfield.
They also have two 1950
diesel shunters to restore.
Mr Roberts said the
UCsteam locomotives were
used on the Midland Line
from the early 1900s until
about 1950.
The LA train was used
for shunting wagons in
the Greymouth railway
yard and the diesel shunters
were yard shunters
from the Islington Freezing
Works in Christchurch.
Mr Roberts said work
on the main workshop,
located off Pocock Rd, is
progressing with 70 per

“We have got some of the
foundations down, we have
got the resource consent
and obviously the building
consent . . . it is a time and
money thing,” he said.
He said the trust has
redirected its priority to
getting a small kitset shed
set up for storage.
The shed will be located
further along from the
main work shed at the old
workshop pit site – and
will have two sets of railway
lines.

restore locomotives
The Midland Line opened up
to the West Coast when the Otira
Tunnel opened in 1923 and has
been used for the considerable
export of coal, timber, farm products
and a source of travel.
The workshop will also be used
to build a steam engine which is
aimed at getting steam locomotives
to run on wood rather than
coal.
The invention is by Mackwell
Locomotive Company director
Sam Mackwell – who has spent
more than three years developing
a sustainable steam-powered
boiler.
The trust was formed in 2004
by “a group of keen rail enthusiasts”
aiming to preserve one of
New Zealand’s “great natural and
man-made assets.”

WEST MELTON teen Maddie
Collins has been named Silver
Linings Complete Equine Care’s
most inspirational rider.
Maddie, 14, won the award
after competing in the North
Loburn Equestrian Centre’s
summer dressage series.
Her mother Sarah Manson-
Collins said the prize includes
the use of Silver Linings Complete
Equine Care’s arena along
with mirrors and a soloshot
camera.
Mrs Manson-Collins said
Maddie was “very excited” with
the award.
She said it’s great to be home
after Maddie’s potentially lifesaving
kidney transplant, but
doctors “have some concerns”
following recent blood test
results.
“Her numbers aren’t as good
as they were . . . it’s just an
awareness that something’s
not quite right,” Mrs Manson-
Collins said.
She said Maddie will be
having a biopsy at Starship
Children’s Health in Auckland
next week.
Maddie spent a couple hours
at St Margaret’s College on
Wednesday and will be going
back to school full-time next
term.
However, Maddie will be doing
her schoolwork from home.
Maddie and her family were
told on January 16 their fiveyear
wait for a kidney match had
been found.
They flew from Christchurch
to Auckland early the following
day and Maddie underwent an
initial operation and then a second
operation to reposition the
kidney hours later at Starship
Children’s Health.
Mrs Manson-Collins said
Maddie has had an “amazing
recovery” in spite of the first 48
hours not going to plan.

‘EXCITED’: 14-year-old Maddie Collins has been awarded the
most inspirational rider after competing in the North Loburn
Equestrian Centre’s summer dressage series.
She flew back to Christchurch
in late February after spending
two weeks at Starship Children’s
Health and four weeks recovering
at Ronald McDonald House
in Auckland.
Maddie received a kidney
transplant from her father
Adam Collins five years ago but
her body rejected it.
Mrs Manson-Collins said they
want to keep the conversation
around organ donation going.
“Just because she’s had a
transplant, she doesn’t want
people to forget and stop talking
about being an organ donor,”
she said.

SCHOOLS
West Melton pupils show
the future of gardening
A FUTURE-themed
garden designed by West
Melton School pupils has
won a top award.
The school received a
gold award at the recent
Oderings School Gardens
Show.
The garden’s theme was
around having the power
to drive a future journey
and the choice between
wishing for a sustainable,
colourful and bountiful
future, or one where living
things struggle to survive
alongside man-made junk
discarded by humans.
In the middle of the garden
was an old well found
beneath the school during
recent renovations.
Promotions and marketing
officer Rita Spadoni
said the wishing well in
the garden represents
the past and also allows
people to make their own
private wishes for the
future.
She said pupils were excited
to depict a contrasting
image of the future.
Principal Sue Jackson
said she was impressed

with the creativity and

She said the importance
the school attaches to the
environment and how it

their own learning is evident
in the display.
“It was another awesome
and outstanding
success for our school,
ultimately involving every
learner and staff member
in one way or another”.

Shoe exchange benefits food bank
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
FAMILIES struggling to keep
up with the high cost of playing
team sport can now get a helping
hand.
A Selwyn Shoe Exchange has
opened in Leeston in a bid to
help more children, teenagers
and adults get involved in sport
with good footwear.
It was opened by Leeston Physio
after the business had been asking
for donations of old clean sport
shoes/boots since the middle
of last year. In return for the
footwear, the recipient is asked to
donate a non-perishable food item
to the Ellesmere Food Bank.
Principal physiotherapist
Emma Wilson said the idea
came after hearing about
Ellesmere families who couldn’t
afford to play rugby because of
the cost of rugby boots and subs.
“It made me go ‘we are in a
position here’ . . . we often get a
lot of kids coming through here,
and the shoes aren’t appropriate
for what they are trying to do or
adults are getting into sport and
don’t have the appropriate footwear,”
she said.
But Mrs Wilson says it is not
only for disadvantaged families,
it is a sensible way of supporting
families to take away stress.
Mrs Wilson said many
children grow out of their sports
footwear before the shoes have
had much wear.
Footwear has already been
presented to several families and
residents who are trying to lose
weight by getting into walking.
Mrs Wilson said the exchange
has received “huge support”
and the donations have been
amazing.
Receptionist Sharyn Sheat said
the business has got “shelves
full” of shoes, and it was time

the concept of ‘own your own’ village is designed
to give residents the freedom and financial benefits
similar to home ownership, so should they need
to move they will still enjoy the capital gain of their
home. the village will be owned via a licence to
Occupy that ensures all proceeds from a villa’s sale
will go to the actual resident.
Once the village is finished, Manor Group will
transfer village ownership into a residents’ company,
enabling residents to contribute to the operation of
their own village, assisted by an on-site manager.
this manager takes care of the day to day running
of the village - repairs and maintenance as well as
the welfare of the residents thus giving everyone

Our People
Courtney Forrest
Helping young people beat adversity
Rolleston youth
worker Courtney
Forrest, 29, works
to support and
help young people
overcome major
struggles in their
life. He spoke to
Georgia O’Connor-
Harding
What does a normal day look
like for you?
It changes everyday. Hope
Youth Trust is the agency I am
part of and that is part of the
Hope Presbyterian Church.
We have three active sites
happening in the south-west side
of Christchurch. That is Hope
Hornby, Hope Rolleston and
Hope West Melton. Specifically
in Rolleston I am paid full-time
and I work in Rolleston School
with year 7 and 8 and I work in
Rolleston College.
What does your role involve?
The biggest role we have is to
support the staff and students
in the local settings we are in.
In the local college and the local
school. Day-to-day, we do a
lot of in-class support. Getting
alongside those students who are
struggling. A lot of emotional
support, pastoral support
or conflict as well. Working
through conflict with staff and
students to brings them back
to that restorative behaviour. It
can be quite tricky. We go into
the schools and go “where do
you see us working well”. We
do leadership development and
we run leadership programmes
for years 7 and 8. We also help
out with leadership, like the
school leaders at Rolleston
College which has been evolving
over the last couple of years. I
have been in Rolleston School
since 2009 for 10 hours a week.
It is a three-way local trust
relationship. The district council
POTENTIAL: Youth worker Courtney Forrest teams up with Rolleston School class leaders Isaac Ritchie (left), Lilly McQueen and
Matthew Webster to plan events for their fellow pupils.
financially supports the work we
do in local schools. We don’t call
ourselves counsellors, we don’t
call ourselves teacher aids. It is
the kind of wrap around support
I guess.
Have you found the students
have embraced the work you are
doing?
Yes, just the other day there
was a boy struggling to fit in.
He had a meltdown in the
classroom so I was just working
alongside him. Quite often it
is what is happening around
home as well. It is offering that
support. Often we do outsideof-school
mentoring. We build
relationships with the family
of those kids who are a little bit
on the edge and say ‘hey, how
can we support?’ We also work
alongside the counsellors to help
support what they are doing, and
speak the same language if we
can. We have got that personal
relationship with the young
people whereas they have got the
more professional relationship.
How do you find the right
answers to the difficult issues?
We follow the youth code
of ethics if there are big issues
going on. We are connected
with counsellors. We have a
counselling service based in
Hornby we can refer them onto
and get advice. That is big benefit
for us being part of a youth trust.
We have that kind of professional
support as well. A couple of boys
had depression and my role has
been going along to the doctor
supporting them and going ‘it is
okay we are here to support you
and we will work really hard at
getting you the help you need’.
Is it difficult to get people to
open up?
It is about positive
reinforcement, saying ‘thanks
for letting us know, that is really
brave of you, we really want to
get you help. You’re not weird or
stupid’. We have all had struggles
we have had to work through
and that is the beauty of our
work.
Why did you decide to
become a youth worker?
Just to give you a little bit
of background: I have done a
Bachelor of Business at Massey
University. Over the last 12 years,
I have been involved in a paid
capacity and volunteer capacity
of getting alongside young
people in youth communities.
I guess I have just seen the real
value of having strong role
models in my life.

Supporting young people in Rolleston
•From page 17
I guess what gets me out of
bed in the morning is making
a difference for boys and girls
who don’t have those strong role
models in their life, where their
parents may be absent in their
life. To see them succeed and
develop and become a really awesome
young person and to take
opportunities that come. I get a
real kick out of that. I have done
accounting, I was in that corporate
environment. I just couldn’t
sit behind a desk for nine hours
a day. I really wanted to get out
there and make a difference in
people’s lives.
Has there been anything
significant in your life you have
been able to share to help other
people going through difficult
times?
I guess I come from a broken
family. My parents separated
when I was a teenager. I see a lot
of that. My dad wasn’t a strong
positive role model in my life. I
guess coming out of the other
side of that and going ‘what have
I learnt and what do I hold onto?’
I think that has been a huge
thing; to have been able to relate
to those whose parents are separating.
To feel their pain and feel
their hurt and being shifted from
one parent to another throughout
the week and what that entails
as well. Quite often kids are left
right in the middle of that with
a whole lot of things happening
around them. Kids are right in
the middle but not cared for. That
is where I have come in and said
‘hey, I will support you, I’ll journey
with you and care for you as
much as I can’.
What are the biggest issues in
Rolleston?
With the population growth
the town hasn’t been able to catch
up. Things for young people to
get involved with and do, there
hasn’t been that. It is starting
to happen at a faster pace. For
the first three or four years I
was there, young people were
really bored because all that
was here was the skate park. We
run a Friday night youth night
as well, so that is something we
have worked hard on. It is for
intermediate and high school
students and we have a team
of youth leaders who run high
energy activities. But also for
high school, there’s more of that
mentoring and trying to build a
sense of identity, community and
relationships.
How have you found working
in Rolleston College?
This year especially I really
think the culture is starting to

potential.
build. Last year everything was
so new. This year, they have got
some good policies in place and I
think there is so much the young
people can partake in.
What needs to be done to improve
Rolleston?
I have spoken about this with
district council people at a community
level. Now that we have
got a college, where do they fit
in in terms of employment. We
have got a massive Izone Business
Hub here. Year 12 students and
year 13 students as they arrive to
the college- how do we transition
them well into the workforce
and what work opportunities
are there? I don’t think that has
really happened yet. How can we
provide a good strong pathway
for these young people to get into
a workforce.
How long have you lived in
Selwyn?
I moved there at the beginning
of 2013. I love the family spirit
of the community. Just walking
down the streets and catching
up with young people - that’s
special. It is growing but has still
got that small intimate setting I
believe.
What do you enjoy doing in
your spare time?
I enjoy running. I am a bit of
an active relaxer so any kind of
social sport .I have done three
marathons and I am training for
my next event. I am looking at
doing the Rotoroa Half Marathon
2018 in May.
What has been the most inspiring
part of your job?
I guess in our youth work we
have had some pretty long serving
people. It can be seen as a bit
of a short term kind of profession.
When I have wanted to
throw it in I have thought about
them. They have been through
all seasons that has continued to
keep me grounded, focused and

There are people who have been
doing it 20-30 years and I go wow
they believed in that youth work.
They believed in that profession
even though it hasn’t been hugely

New Lincoln Bridge –
get on it!
The new timber bridge in the Lincoln Esplanade Reserve has been completed.
Council’s land development project manager Phil Millar says the new bridge – which crosses the
Liffey Stream between Esplanade Reserve land south of Moffat Drive and Ryelands Drive – is a
wonderful addition to Lincoln’s network of walkways.
“Get your walking shoes on and go for a walk over Lincoln’s new bridge and along the Esplanade
Reserve. The views from the bridge of the Liffey are breathtaking,” Mr Millar says.
Lincoln Community Committee member Lindsay Wilson says the committee is delighted to have
the bridge installed and open to the public.
“The committee has been hugely supportive of the construction of the bridge and the improved
access to the Liffey,” Mr Wilson says. “We encourage the public to see and walk across it as we
are very pleased with the quality of the final outcome.”
The bridge is one of the longest pedestrian bridges in the Selwyn district, having a 20 metre central
span (the distance between two intermediate supports for a structure) and 32m in length in total.
The bridge is an important part of increasing the connectivity of pathways and links within the
Esplanade Reserve. Lincoln Primary students can now cross the bridge from Ryelands Drive,
which then connects to the shared cycleway and footpath running parallel with Moffat Drive and
adjacent to the Lincoln Primary School Satellite Campus site.
The new thoroughfare has disabled accessibility from Moffat Drive down to and across the
Liffey Stream.
The facts:
· The Lincoln bridge was stage two of a three stage project which began in 2016. The stages
include: 1) A shared walkway and cycleway south of Moffat Drive adjacent to the Satellite School
(completed), 2) the timber pedestrian Bridge (pictured), and 3) access to an area currently
landlocked further south in the Lincoln Esplanade (future project).
· Hunter Civil project management and construction built the timber bridge offsite.
· Three sections of the 32m bridge were craned onto four central piles.
· It’s one of Selwyn district’s largest footbridges at 32m in total length.

With 10 award categories, we encourage nominations to celebrate success in Arts, Culture and
Heritage; Community Service; Environmental; Innovation Excellence (new award for 2018); Large
Business; Small Business; Sport; Tourism; and Young Achievers. For the first time, you can also have

Who in Selwyn do you think deserves
to be recognised for their outstanding
achievements? Nominations will open on
Monday 9 April and close on Friday 15 June.

Council services during
Easter weekend
There are some changes to Council services during Easter
weekend. Read on to see how they could affect you.
Rubbish and recycling normally collected on Friday 30 March
(Good Friday) will be collected on Saturday 31 March. Collection on
Monday 2 April (Easter Monday) will occur as normal.
Pines Resource Recovery Park is closed Friday 30 March, but open
from 10am–4pm on Saturday, Sunday and Easter Monday.
The Selwyn Aquatic Centre is open from 8am–8pm daily from
Friday 30 March to Monday 2 April, with normal hours (6am–9pm)
resuming on Tuesday 3 April. For normal open hours you can visit
www.selwyn.govt.nz/facilities-and-parks/selwyn-aquatic-centre.
Selwyn Libraries will be closed on Good Friday and Easter Monday,
but open on Saturday 31 March with normal opening hours. For
normal open hours you can visit www.selwynlibrary.co.nz/about-us.
Council’s Rolleston Headquarters will be closed on Good Friday and
Easter Monday, and will reopen on Tuesday 3 April.
Rolleston Community Centre and Lincoln Event Centre are closed
on Good Friday and Easter Monday, reopening on Tuesday 3 April.
If you need to get in touch with Council during this time you can
contact the 24/7 Helpline on 347 2800 or you can log a request on
our online helpline form at www.selwyn.govt.nz/contact-us/helpline.
Stay bright, use your lights!
Daylight Saving ends at 2am this long weekend on Sunday 1 April –
that means it’s going to start getting darker, earlier.
Switch your lights on when driving to make sure you’re visible. The
Road Code says that you must use your vehicle headlights from 30
minutes after sunset until 30 minutes before sunrise and at any other
time you can’t clearly see a person or vehicle 100 metres away.
Using your lights will greatly increase your chances of seeing and
being seen by other vehicles.
With the end of Daylight Saving and winter not far away, we also
want to remind cyclists to check their lights, be bright and be seen
on the road this autumn.
Cyclists are encouraged to have good quality lights that are visible
from 200m at all times, from both the front and rear. It’s also a good
idea to wear bright clothing with reflective material.
It’s important drivers are on the lookout for cyclists, especially when
visibility is poor, around dusk, at dawn and in bad weather.
Commonwealth Games Challenge
Jump and dive into this fantastic opportunity to meet new people,
discover new classes, challenge yourself, set goals, test your
comfort zone and have fun!
Support our athletes during the Commonwealth Games (4–15 April)
and compete in your own Commonwealth Games Challenge at
Rolleston Community Centre, Selwyn Aquatic Centre or Lincoln
Event Centre.
Collect your Challenge card from any of these three facilities and
participate in an exercise class or swim some laps at the pool. Have
all of the nine podium levels signed off by staff and enter into either
the Gold, Silver or Bronze draw to be in to win!
For facility timetables go to www.selwyn.govt.nz.
Note: normal class and pool entry prices apply.

Getting to know Lincoln High
Lincoln High School has elected its head
students for the year. Ollie Roozen asked
them what they hope to achieve
SCHOOLS
THE HEAD students at Lincoln
High School this year are Petra
Campbell, Gabriel Clarke, Taylin
Smith and Carlito Shalfoon.
They form the student council
which operates under the motto
‘Our School, Our Network’.
How does that link into the
vision you all have for Lincoln
High School, and the work that
you’re doing?
Gabriel: At Lincoln we pursue
unique paths, subjects, and goals,
but we are still all connected via
our school. We hope to improve
and establish the connections
between different areas of school
and our wider community to
create a supportive network.
Carlito: With such a huge
school with a lot of kids and staff
we understood that wasn’t going
to be an easy task.
Gabriel: It involved obtaining
regular input and feedback from
the student body to understand
and appreciate their thoughts
and feelings over topical issues
facing the school, and from
that we’ve created a series of
initiatives lined up to support
this goal.
Petra: The motto ‘Our School,
Our Network’ links into the
vision we have for Lincoln High
School as we hope to improve
the connections both inside and
outside our school.
Taylin: By bringing our
community closer together,
we’re helping students to form
connections with groups and
individuals in the school that
will be able to provide them with
new opportunities so that they
may get the most out of their
time at Lincoln and reach their
full potential.
We’ve also got the student
council, which is comprised of
more than 20 students from 10
sub-councils, each focused on a
particular element of our school.
Taylin: Our vision of building
connections is one that is flexible
enough so that each sub-council
is able to utilise it to inspire their
own goals for 2018, and as a
result, we hope to see networks
formed in all areas of the school
and the wider community. The
motto is a recognition that this is
our school, it is up to us to form
a network that suits us.
Petra: What we aim to achieve
is a diverse and supportive
school environment where
everyone belongs. As Gabriel
pointed out, we have several
initiatives already planned for
REFRESHING: Head girl Petra Campbell, deputy head boy Carlito Shalfoon, deputy head girl
Taylin Smith and head boy Gabriel Clarke.
PHOTO: OLLIE ROOZEN
2018, including an in-school
tutoring system that we then
hope to expand to Rolleston
College.
Could you guys go into
more detail about what that
tutoring system is, and the
effect it will have on our
communities?
Gabriel: This year we’ve
identified a potential need for
a tutoring service for Rolleston
College’s junior students as they
currently lack senior students
to guide them as role models,
and we are speaking at one of
their assemblies in early March
to determine how tutoring may
be implemented there. This
will affirm our relationship and
‘connection’ between Lincoln
and Rolleston and is just one of
the community links we hope to
strengthen.
What led you all to applying
and campaigning for head
student?
Taylin: Throughout my
time at Lincoln, the school has
provided me with so many
great opportunities and support
alongside them, all of which have
enabled me to further myself
as a person and shape who I
am today. It has shown me that
school is more than just studying
for tests. I also love seeing other
people succeed at what they
do. I felt inspired to give back
to school by being a part of
providing new opportunities for
the students and encouraging
them to take them up, so that
they will be able to grow, as I did.
Petra: I think she speaks for all
of us; applying for head student
was an opportunity to give back
to the school.

School’s head students
What are you all most excited
about this year?
Gabriel: We had our first
UNICEF meeting for the year,
where we shared our fundraising
ideas for the future. I’m excited
about the passionate team we
have on board for a third year.
Carlito: I’m really looking
forward to an event the sports
council has planned for later in
the year. I can’t divulge all the
details, but you can be sure it’ll
leave a lasting image on Lincoln
High School. The event is aimed
to bring together hundreds of
people, so we hope it will create
many new networks.
You’ve piqued my interest.
Could you give us a little hint?
Carlito: Record Week. Watch
this space.
It’s great to see that you’re
able to utilise your passion for
sport and link it into your position
as head student, overseeing
the sports sub-council.
Carlito: The court is where
I can escape from all the daily
pressure. I love it.
Petra: The thing I’m most
excited about this year is having
such an awesome team to work
with. This includes the other
head students and the student
council we have backing us. The
council is made up of several
unique, capable individuals who
together are going to have a
great impact on Lincoln High
VISION: The head students use this image to show how all of
the school’s students are connected.
School and I’m looking forward
to seeing what we as a team accomplish.
Taylin: I’m excited in anticipation
of each of the sub-councils
achieving their goals and making
their own impacts on the
school.
Gabriel: I’m also excited to
guide, collaborate and work with
the student council this year
too. We consist of 24 passionate
teens who are all eager to make a
difference to life at Lincoln. Our
meetings are fiery and full on
with such fervent members, but
rest assured; work always gets
done with this eclectic group.
I’m curious; what’s the most
interesting debate the council
has had?
Gabriel: We argued about
the rope that was connecting us
all in the student council promotional
video – some people
thought it was going to be too
difficult to film and organise
logistically, but we decided the
symbolic implications of the
rope were concrete, and precisely
illustrated our aim of enhancing
connectivity.
What are the sacrifices that
you’ve all had to make and
will have to make to fulfil your
position as a head student? Is
there anything you miss doing,
in spite of the fact that you’re
applying yourself to something
greater?
Gabriel: An ongoing struggle
I’ve shared with many members
of my cohort has been to fit everything
into 24 hours in a day.
With rehearsals, shifts, assessments
and meetings, often it can
be difficult to find a moment of
leisure. To overcome this, being
organised is key; setting reminders
on my phone and keeping
up to scratch with my diary
with any spare time I can gather
makes life significantly easier to
juggle. Unfortunately, I’ve had to
opt out of the musical rehearsals
this term to stop me from going
into overdrive.
Taylin: My social life and my
down time is always the first
thing to take a hit when I am
busy. I will probably miss the
ability to be able to catch up with
my friends at morning tea and
lunch. But I have a supportive
family and network of friends
so if I manage myself well, it
shouldn’t be too much of an
issue.
Carlito: My mates keep me
sane as I always know I have
them, and when I’m with them
my time is totally stress-free. As
head students we’re extremely
busy. But it’s a good busy.
Gabriel: Right. Although it
necessitated sacrifices, to be part
of such an invigorated and spectacular
team makes it worth it.
Petra: Time is indeed precious
now, and because of all these
new responsibilities, I’ve found
it hard to spend time with my
friends this year too. To overcome
that, I work to make time
during the week which I can
spend with them. This is important
to me as they are the ones
who will support me through
this year.
What legacy do you hope to
leave behind for future students?
Petra: I want students in the
future to know that you get
out what you put in. I wish to
encourage Lincoln students to
make the most of what Lincoln
has to offer and get involved as
much as you can. The more you
get involved, the better experience
high school will be.
Gabriel: I’d like to leave
behind something both tangible
and intangible. We have initiatives
lined up such as an afternoon
or two where the student
council goes onto the school field
and networks with members of
our school community across
the year levels to connect and
converse, thereby strengthening
our symbolic ‘network’. In terms
of something physical we want to
leave behind, watch this space.

WEAPON: Dan Ede scored twice for Selwyn United on Saturday.
EFFORT: Tom Bryne stretches to keep the ball in play in front of his home
support.
Goals come easily for Selwyn United
• By Gordon Findlater
SELWYN UNITED are quickly
becoming the most entertaining
club in the Mainland Premier
League after two dramatic
matches to start the season at
Foster Park.
THe Stallions have scored
more goals than any other team
after two rounds but have also
conceded more than any other
club.
On Saturday they trailed
MPL champions Ferrymead
Bays 1-5 in the first half. With
just minutes to play they found
themselves with a 6-5 lead before
Michael Forshaw scored for Bays
to level the match in added time.
Bays stormed out to and
early lead with goals to Ciaran
Ahearn, Jordan Halligan, Mark
Peers. Forshaw then grabbed two
goals within a minute. Selwyn’s
Dan Ede pulled a goal back for
the Stallions before Jamie Carrodus
reduced the margin to 2-5
just before the half-time break.
Selwyn continued their fightback
with three goals in three
goals in six minutes to Aiden
Barbour-Ryan, Hami Davey-
Brown and Ede to lock the score
at 5-5. Selwyn took the lead for
the first in the match courtesy of
a Bays own goal.
“We showed them a little bit
too much respect in the first half
and if you show a side like Bays
respect they’ll punish you,” said
Selwyn coach Lee Padmore.
The draw gave Selwyn their
first points in the MPL. However,
the team are understandably
disappointed to have just one
point to their name after holding
late leads in both their opening
two games.
In week one they lead Coastal
Spirit 3-1 before conceding three
times in seven minutes.
“What’s frustrating is that
we’re three minutes across two
games from having six points
and we’ve ended up with one,”
said Padmore.
“It’s something the boys have
got to learn from, to play for the
full 90-plus minutes.”
Selwyn face a double header
over Easter weekend.
They travel to FC Twenty11 on
Friday before returning to Foster
Park to play Nelson Suburbs on
Monday.
MPL round two results:
Selwyn 6 (Dan Ede 2, Jamie
Carradus, Aidan Barbour-Ryan,
Hami Davey-Brown, own goal)
Ferrymead Bays 6 (Michael Forshaw
3, Ciaran Ahearn, Jordan

FUN DAY: Children turned out at Lincoln Golf Club for the TEAM
Golf event on Sunday.
Fun way for children
to get into golf
CHILDREN HAVE had the
chance to learn golf thanks to
a new initiative by Canterbury
Golf and New Zealand Golf.
TEAM Golf visited Lincoln
Golf Club on Sunday following
visits to Weedons and Tai Tapu
earlier this month.
The events have provided an
opportunity for kids to gain
experience with a shortened sixhole
course team event with the
support of family members as
caddies for the young budding
golfers. Kids aged 4-14 years
have teamed up and enjoyed
the opportunity to make new
friends in a fun and relaxed
environments.
The “It’s Ok” rules provide a
relaxed feel to the event where
it’s all about making golf achievable
and enjoyable for all the
kids involved.
“To provide a fun environment
on the golf course for
kids of this ability is key,” said
Canterbury Golf development
manager Rachel Thow.
“The team environment adds
to the enjoyment with plenty
of clapping and support from
fellow teammates and family
members also playing their part
in the event as caddies.”
The final TEAM Golf event
will take place at Greendale on
April 8.
Long wait for division one win
• By Gordon Findlater
SPRINGSTON had their first
win at division one level in more
than 17 years when they defeated
Kaiapoi 27-24 on Saturday.
Saturday’s win at Springston
Recreation Reserve was the start
of a new era for the club who
returned to the Luisetti Seeds
division one combined competition
for the first time in 17 years.
Springston’s victory was hard
earned. Only once during the
match were the two sides separated
by more than seven points.
With the scores locked at 24
towards the end of the match
Springston first-five Cameron
Powell slotted a crucial penalty
to give his side a 27-24 advantage.
The home side defended their line
resiliently in the final minutes of
the game with Kaiapoi camped in
Springston 22m area.
GAME WINNER: Cameron
Powell’s late penalty kick
helped the side to victory.

HARRISON
“It was a very successful day
for the club and a great boost for
the team,” said Springston club
president Lance Field.
In recent years, Springston had
dominated the Ellesmere division
two competition, winning
the Greg Hill Shield last year and
in 2015.
The colts are also champions,
winning the Tony Lee Shield last
year. However, in the past, some
of those players have moved on
due to the club not having a division
one side.
In other round one results
Waihora were edged by
Saracens 14-16 in a battle

ADVERTORIAL
An emerging Christchurch artist, who has been painting as a hobby for a number of years, is now using her talents to create an exciting new business – May’s Masterpiece. Earlier this year
she launched her website www.maysmasterpiece.co.nz, on which she showcases her artworks and services. May also paints commission works, producing beautiful paintings to client
specifications. Bespoke, commissioned artworks is easy and affordable to obtain; just look at some examples of recent customers proudly showcasing their commissioned work from May:
Susan recently commissioned three pieces of work.
She wanted to give a special gift to two special friends;
one capturing a friends’ unforgettable experience
sledding with snow dogs; another capturing the serene
beachside stroll at Sumner, her friend’s local beach; and
lastly, a piece for herself, capturing the special moment
she caught of her father, her husband, her grandson and
their family dog on camera, walking near their family
bach in Gore Bay. “May is absolutely wonderful! She
has really captured the essence in each painting. I have
never been more pleased than revealing these gifts to
my friends, they were absolutely thrilled,” says Sue.
Matt also commissioned a number
of pieces just before Christmas,
two of which are of his beautiful
daughters enjoying the local café
scene: “I want to give my parents
something really unique and
meaningful for Christmas. They
love spending time with their
granddaughters and trying out
different cafes. We worked with
May and came up with a couple of
paintings that truly captured those
moments, They love it and it looks
really amazing,” Matt said.
Jocelyn is a self-confessed ‘May’s Art Addict’. It all
started when she first commissioned a painting of her
nephew, as a gift for her mum. “The painting of Ashton
on the beach was just stunning,” Jocelyn said. “And
then I wanted one for myself, and as my family grew,
my collection of May’s painting grew as well.” Jocelyn
also commissioned a number of pieces for other family
members as gifts. She says the uniqueness and originality
plus the quality of work beats any other presents. This is
only a small selection of Jocelyn’s collection.
Tina from Leeston had a tough task for May. “I had this
old photograph of my children when they were little,
playing on the beach in Akaroa,” Tina said. “We discussed
a few options and, in the end, May and I decided to focus
on the beautiful hills and the sea, bring out the children
and reduce the pebbles in the foreground.” The result
gave a new lease of life to an old photograph. “I found
May to be a pleasure to work with and she was very
helpful with suggestions throughout the commissioning
process. I am very happy with the completed painting.”
May’s works ranges from traditional and realistic to animated and abstract. What May does best is when a client want a
bespoke artwork, they can take her a picture of something they want painted i.e a special place, a family member or a pet for
example. They can also choose the style they like which they may have come across on the internet, and May can combine
the two. “I want to change the way people typically procure artworks. I want to make it easy and accessible for people to own
original paintings that are beautiful, meaningful and fit for purpose.”
Her website, maysmasterpiece.co.nz, features a selection of her works for sale, which demonstrate her versatility, as well as
testimonials from clients who have had bespoke works painted. She also has a Facebook page, May’s Art.
To discuss your art requirements, contact May on 021 889 397, or email her through her website www.maysmasterpiece.co.nz

Did you know that
chocolate contains a toxic
component, theobromine?
Humans easily
metabolize theobromine,
but the process of breaking
down theobromine in dogs
is much slower. This allows
toxic levels to build up in
the dogs system. If a
dog consumes large
amounts of chocolate,
then theobromine toxins
can cause muscle tremors,
seizures, and an irregular
heartbeat also vomiting, diarrhoea, and
hyperthermia (high body temperature) can
occur at toxic levels.

MY PRIDE AND JOY
SELWYN TIMES
Building, showing, buying and
selling hot rods and classic cars
You’ve probably seen it cruising around
Rolleston, Selwyn, and beyond. A bright
yellow ’55 Chevy pickup. It’s hard to miss.
It’s the pride and joy of the fleet at Custom
Made Garage Doors, and the latest in a long
– and it’s really long – convoy of classic cars
and hot rods that have gone through Mal
Hurrell’s many garages.
Mal always had an interest in cars –
driving them, looking at them, thinking
about them, buying and selling them. But
most of all he loves building them. He’s
built a lot of cars over the years, for himself,
for his wife, Jill, for friends, and even for a
few strangers who became friends.
He bought his first hot rod in 1979, a ’39
Chevy. But he sold the wheels off it to get a
deposit for a house. As you do.
For a number of years he dabbled,
built a really successful garage door
manufacturing company, raised a family
with Jill – including, she calculates, as many
as a thousand foster children over their 40
years – but always in the background was
that passion for building, showing, buying
and selling hot rods and classic cars.
“I enjoy the journey of building cars from
scratch to finish,” Mal says. “I’ll take good
care of them for a few years, then let them
go. My passion is always to build another
one.”
Literally dozens of cars, he’s built. Early

on in their marriage he built Jill a ’30
Hupmobile coupe, and at the same time, he
built himself a ’29 Model A coupe, hers in
blue, his in pink. Go figure.
Later on he built her a ’27 roadster, which
they then sold on to be raffled. Someone
bought if for eighteen bucks! But perhaps
the sweetest of many stories is that Mal was
able to buy it back many years later, and
give it to Jill as an anniversary present.
When Mal started his own Garage Door
business in 2001, he built a ‘54 Chevy pickup
and painted it bright yellow. It was the
flagship for his business. He eventually sold
it, but just last year he decided to get another
bright yellow pickup for the business – and
his hobby. This one came from LA in 2017.
He spent some time sprucing it up, put the
Custom Made Garage Doors branding on
it (subtly) and now proudly drives it to
shows, burger runs, hot rod breakfasts, and
anywhere else he can.
Mal’s living the dream, he reckons. The
business is going well; the kids are all doing
well and are an important part of his life;
could be that Mal has a bit more time to
build some more cars.
It’s addictive, he says. “If I didn’t have a
car in the garage, I’d be pining like a lost
puppy.”
Looking in Mal’s garage, there’s not much
chance of any pining happening soon.

MOTORCARE PROFESSIONALS
Do you know what to do if you
are involved in a car accident?
Assuming, and hoping, that you are okay, there
are some practical things you should do.
Usually, the question enters your mind
immediately after you’ve been in a fenderbender.
But that’s too late. There are nine
tips listed on R O Jones Panelbeaters’
website, plus some facts you should know
about getting your car repaired.
After checking everyone is okay, did
you know it’s a good idea to make a quick
diagram – or take some photos - of where
everyone is seated, and of the direction of
the cars, and where they ended up. Such
details can easily be forgotten, but may
prove important later. If you can, look at
the other driver’s license, and make a note
of the number.
The tips and facts on R O Jones’ website
is valuable information. When it comes to
repairing your car, they are dedicated to
fixing it correctly and quickly. That’s their
promise.
Owner, Scott Jefcoate runs R O Jones at
107 St. Asaph Street in the city. Three years
ago, he also purchased Laycock’s Collision
Repair at 17 Epsom Road, and he now runs
that business, too. Both shops are operated
with the same philosophy.
A Rolleston local, he’s been in the auto
body repair business since he left school. At
just 24 he purchased R O Jones, and now
provides quality repairs and service, factory
quality painting, and high-end custom and
restoration services.
They also repair campervans, caravans,
boats, truck cabs, fleet vehicles and more.
R O Jones and Laycock’s are proud to
be the preferred repairers for St. John’s
Ambulances. Scott and the team know
that fleet vehicles especially, but all clients,
need to be back on the road again, so turnaround
times are kept to a minimum.
“We try and make everything as easy as
possible,” Scott says.
The secret to the quick turn around?
“Planning. Making sure everything is ready
to hit the ground running the day your car
turns up here.”
Insurance claims are no problem. The
team at R O Jones and Laycock’s will
manage the process, providing quotations
and comprehensive information to all the
major insurance companies, making the
process stress-free and easy.

Organic Compost
Add the Bark
Intelligro’s Organic Compost is made on our site, blended from
sustainable and natural products, with no green waste or soil
added. We carefully monitor our process to create this product and
take pride in the end result.
Our Organic Compost is designed to improve the overall quality of
your soil. It does this in a number of ways:
✓ Improves moisture retention, reducing water loss especially during
the warmer weather
✓ Adds vital nutrients to the soil
✓ Improves and stabilizes pH
✓ Improves drainage and reduces erosion
✓ Conditions the soil to create a healthier growing environment
✓ Helps to create a more even soil temperature
All of these things help to create the best growing environment for
your plants. The great thing about compost is it will also work to
remove any pollutants that are already in your garden – pretty clever
really! Also, due to its organic properties, you can feel safe knowing
that there is nothing harmful in this product.
Once you have given your garden a good boost of nutrients with
products such as our Organic Compost, Blood and Bone and
fertiliser, you will want to add some bark in preparation for the
winter. A good 10cm layer of bark will help to protect your plant’s
roots from the cold weather, keep a more even soil temperature
(which plants like) and it will aid in suppressing the weeds. Intelligro
manufacture all their barks and mulches on site, they are carefully
monitored for quality and then stored under our covered bins. Our
friendly team are happy to help you work out how much you need,
and what product best suits your area.

IF YOU like a bit of colour and
fragrance in your garden and your
home, then look no further than
sweet peas.
These lovely flowers are super
easy to grow, they smell great and
they look lovely outdoors or in a
vase.
Some varieties include dwarf
mixed, fragrant beauty and cut
flower mixed. All smell lovely,
but fragrant beauty has a stronger
smell. And all can be grown for
cut flowers, but the cut flower
mix will produce more blooms on
longer stems.
Lastly, as you’d expect, the
dwarf variety doesn’t grow as tall
as the other two – it only grows to
30-40cm which makes it perfect
for growing in borders, bedding
and pots.
The other two varieties grow to
around 120-180cm and, like most
sweet peas, need something like
a wall or trellis to trail and climb
over.
When you’ve got your seedlings
you need to find a place to plant.
As mentioned, sweet peas grow
well in pots – particularly the
dwarf variety which don’t require
staking and will cascade over the
edge nicely. The other two varieties
will also grow well in large
pots. You’ll Urban just need Section
to tie four or
five bamboo stakes into a tee-pee
shape to support the plants as
they grow. And make sure you
plant them in some good quality
potting mix to really help them
along their way.
If you’re growing in the garden,
all you need is a sunny, welldrained
spot next to a wall or some
sort of support structure. Add
some netting, wire or light wooded
frame for the flowers to climb up.
Plant the seedlings about 20cm
apart from each other. And don’t
hold back. The more you plant,
the more colour and fragrance

Remember to water but avoid

Gardening
• By Henri Ham
WHAT’S IN a name?
I enjoy it when a plant has an
interesting name or a name that
makes complete sense for it.
Love in a mist, carolina reaper
and canterbury bells are just
some of the plants which have,
what I consider to be, intriguing
names. But none of those names
come close to the newest variety
of lettuce seedlings – drunken
woman (fringed head) lettuce.
How on earth did it get that
name? Obviously, I’ve done a
quick google search, and I’ve also
asked around, but I haven’t found
a concrete answer yet.
What I have found, is that it’s
an incredibly popular variety
of lettuce to have in the garden.
Many people have said it’s their
absolute must-grow variety
because it’s easy to grow, tastes
good (sweet rather than bitter)
and, importantly, is slow to bolt.
Drunken woman is an Italian
heirloom variety of lettuce that
produces attractive bright green
leaves with ruffled (almost frizzy)
edges in a deep bronze colour.
The definition of what an
heirloom variety is, is a hot topic
of debate. But, generally it means
that the plant variety is openpollinated
and that the variety
has been around for 50 or more
years (some say it must be over
100 years).
And what does openpollinated
mean? This usually
refers to seeds/plants that use
the birds and bees to naturally
pollinate and will ‘breed true’ – ie
produce plants roughly identical
to their parents.
When it comes to planting
drunken woman lettuce, just
grow it like you would your other
varieties.
That is, plant it in well-drained
soil in a sheltered spot and space
each seedling around 20cm
apart.
In around four to eight weeks
you can expect your lettuce to be
ready to harvest.
Like many other gardeners
these days, I like to just
pick the leaves I need
from the outer edges
and leave the plant
growing in the garden.
Oh, and don’t
forget to watch out for
slugs.
SHELTER: Plant
your lettuce
seedlings 20cm
apart.

Checklist for selling your home
Make small fixes
Inspect your home with a buyer’s eyes, and
correct the flaws that are most egregious (if
affordable) or can be relatively easily fixed—
from repairing cracks in the walkways to
repainting dingy walls or oiling creaky hinges.
Select the best real estate agent
For a commission, an agent will take care
of many details you may not want to be
bothered with (placing ads, fielding calls,
making signs, etc.) and bring experience to
the table. To find a good one, ask friends and
relatives, then interview several candidates.
Set a price
A real estate agent will give you a market
analysis free of charge or commitment.
Ask a few to get a broader picture of the
market. Then decide whether you want a
quick, easy sale or the highest possible price.
Selwyn Times
Clean & declutter
Weed out excess furniture, knicknacks, and
“stuff” so the house seems more spacious and
buyers can imagine themselves in it.
Stay vigiliant about maintenance
Keep the lawn mowed, shrubs trimmed,
gardens weeded, rooms spotless and clutterfree.
Ready your home for open days
Hide pocketable valuables, display fresh
flowers or bowls of fruit, bake a batch of
cookies for the homey smell, open the drapes,
keep pets out of sight.
Decide whether to do your own building
inspection
It may save you time, especially with older
homes, to identify—and potentially solve—
problems your buyer’s inspection will
discover later.

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections
in the Selwyn District
Flushing in the 21st century
Pop Quiz: When was the first flush toilet used?
We don’t often think too much about
them. We like to make up neat names for
them. The Privy Council; The Supersitty;
The Study. In Maori it is the wharepaku. If
you are old school it’s the WC. Perhaps it is
being a little squeamish about such things,
but often the toilets are overlooked when
buying a house, or simply considered
mundane necessities when renovating.
But as with everything else, toilets have
evolved, and should be given dutiful
consideration. After all, they are heavily
used in every house.
The concept of the toilet has been
around a long time, and in some respects
has not changed. Waste goes in and is
flushed away, to be forgotten by most.
Innovations, however, roll on and the
humble lavatory has adapted to human
advances and needs.
Simple adaptations such as comfort
height toilets make life easier. These are
toilets up to several centimetres higher
than conventional ones. Even such a
small height increase greatly increases the
ease and comfort of use for the elderly,
pregnant women, and anybody with back
or leg/knee problems.
Whether an S-trap or a P-trap toilet
(you must check which you have if you are
renovating as each is plumbed differently),
the general design and shape of the bowl
has improved sitting comfort. Softclose
lids are quiet and convenient.
If you are not connected to a septic tank
or sewerage main, waterless toilets are
an option. They save on water and turn
waste into compost. They require a lot of
maintenance, but are the longdrop of the
21st Century. See www.smarterhomes.org.
nz
With everything from phones to cars
getting smarter, smart toilets were bound
to happen. They include features such
as touchless flushing. The toilet either
senses when you have moved away, or
incorporate a hand wave sensor. Some
use a remote control that can be operated
by smart phone. Most are self-cleaning.
Integrated bidets with air drying sensors
are common, as are sensors to warn
of potential problems such as tank
leaks. Heated seating, nightlights, and
even Bluetooth sound systems are also
common.
Smart toilets require installation by
qualified professionals, plumbers and
electricians.
You may not require a
Hundertwasser style toilet in
your home (but wouldn’t that
be fun?), but you will want
something efficient, functional, and
aesthetically matched to the décor.
From transparent seats complete with
goldfish to wall hung machines more
technically advanced than any other
appliance in the house, toilets have
come a long way.
And the first flush toilet?
Primitive versions, using
a drainage system rivers,
date back 5000 years!
Modern toilets similar to
ours were used by Queen
Elizabeth I (16th Century)
and were in common use
after that.

Four things you MUST
do before buying a home
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
process. It’s even tougher in a hot market, where there is a lot of competition for a limited number of properties. It
might be tempting to take a few shortcuts, but failing to do things properly could cause more problems later.
Here are our top four tasks for home
buyers.
1. Research the property
The real estate agent selling the property
acts on behalf of the seller, however they
are also required to tell you everything
they know about the property. They
must respond professionally to all your
enquiries and not withhold any details.
Remember that you still need to do your
own due diligence. That means getting
a title search so you can find out all the
facts about the property’s ownership,
boundary and access, as held by Land
Information New Zealand (LINZ). It’s
a good idea to get a Land Information
Memorandum (LIM), which shows
information held by the local council
about the property and land. For valuable
feedback on the property’s condition, get
a report done by an inspector who has
professional indemnity insurance and
carries out their work in accordance with
the New Zealand Property Inspection
Standard. Although this all costs money,
it will save you more in the long term.
Sellers may occasionally provide some of
this information for you. If this happens,
check that it is up-to-date.
2. Get legal advice
Buying property is expensive, and it can
cost even more if something goes wrong.
That’s why it’s important to get legal
advice before you sign anything. A lawyer
will handle all the paperwork involved in
the process, including the title search, and
offer impartial advice. If you don’t have a
lawyer, the New Zealand Law Society can
help you find one at propertylawyers.org.
nz.
3. Understand the sale process
There are several methods of buying and
selling property, for example, tender or
auction. It’s important to understand the
process for the property you are buying.
Practices can vary between agencies so
make sure you confirm details with them.
The Home Buyer’s Guide at buyingahome.
reaa.govt.nz has more helpful advice.
4. Read the sale and purchase agreement
and understand what it means
The sale and purchase agreement is your
contract with the seller. It is crucial to
read it very carefully and get legal advice
before you sign. You can negotiate the
terms and conditions of an agreement,
but once you sign it, there’s no going back.

Show homes
the ultimate way to shop around
Across the selwyn district, we are blessed with an
extensive array of very good quality show homes.
Building companies build show homes
to demonstrate their workmanship,
display innovative design ideas and
present a snapshot into a new and
luxurious lifestyle, featuring all the
latest in materials, fittings and fixtures.
A show home can inspire you in a way
nothing else can. You can absorb the
ambiance they present and admire the
innovative techniques, new materials
and technology.
You can ask questions, take notes
and compare. You can see at a glance
features you would love to emulate or
would avoid when building your home.
Best of all, you ;will see the building
companies’ attention to detail.
Show homes are the perfect way to get
a good idea of pricing, discover good
quality and value, learn about superior
use of space, future-proofing, ongoing
maintenance and long-term returns.
So what are you waiting for? Check
out our maps, grab a notepad and
pencil and begin the exciting project of
building your own home.

Marketing your property –
what does it mean?
Marketing a property is more than presentation and advertising.
Conceptually, marketing is identifying
what prospective buyers are looking for
then providing this. For example, larger
homes and sections may appeal more
to families. Young couples starting out,
generally have tight budgets leading
them to smaller properties, while older
people may be looking to downsize.
Brand new has a particular appeal
however there will always be a market for
established homes. Having a picture in
your mind of the type of buyer will help
in determining the features to emphasise.
If repairs and maintenance need to be
carried out before putting the property
on the market, seek the advice of a real
estate agent. They can advise on what
tasks are worth completing and what
might be unnecessary expense.
Installing a new kitchen or changing
the carpet may lift the house but will
the expense be recouped in the sale
price? On the other hand, modernising
an outdated kitchen or bathroom could
make a huge difference to the look of
the place. Avoid going overboard unless
the capital value of properties in the area
justifies this.
Real estate agents are in contact with
prospective buyers so aware of what they
are looking for. Draw on their expertise
and advice to help make the most of the
selling opportunity.
Establishing a relevant and fair price
for a property is important. Most
agents calculate this based on the price
properties in the area have sold for, and
what a particular property has to offer.
A unique or exceptional property may
justify a higher price, though run-down
properties can gain more than they
appear to merit. This might be due to the
area or other factors that suggest a good
investment.
When promoting a property, mix it up
and be creative so your property stands
out from the rest. TradeMe is a must;
checked by most people looking to buy.
Present the features the property offers as
benefits to potential buyers.
Erect a sign outside the property.
People stop and look at photographs and
this might spark sufficient interest for
them to visit an open home. Spending
a fortune on massive advertising
campaigns in every media might seem a
way to attract potential buyers but may
be an unnecessary expense without the
return. A better philosophy could be a
little often. This will depend on the value
of the property, your budget and how
best to reach target buyers.
Buyer perception is also significant.
For example, properties that sit for a
while can become stale. Resting the
property by taking it off the market for
a short time, then relisting perhaps in
spring or when sales in the area appear
to lift a little, can make a difference.
However, if a property does not sell
immediately there is no need for panic or
dropping the price. It may simply be that
the right buyer has not yet come along. If
the mix is right your property will sell.

Buying a property?
Get a building inspection
Would you get a mechanic to inspect a
used car before you bought it, or would
you just get a mate who knows a bit about
cars to take a look? Prospective property
buyers face a similar conundrum – do
they pay for a building inspection before
making an offer, or just ask a builder
friend to check the place out?
Buying a car is worrisome enough,
but the emotional and financial stakes
are a lot higher when it comes to buying
property. If you’re going to make a serious
investment in something that will have
a huge impact on your family’s health,
wealth and wellbeing, it pays to get the
best advice you can.
Ideally, this means engaging a building
inspector who can identify significant
defects, future or urgent maintenance
issues and problems caused by gradual
deterioration. They will look for structural
problems, any evidence that the property is
a leaky building, issues caused by deferred
maintenance (such as weatherboards
rotting due to peeling paint) and areas
where there is damp or mould. This is a
visual inspection – a building surveyor will
check in the ceiling and under the floor,
but they will not cut holes in walls or carry
out any other invasive testing. The whole
property should be checked, including
fences and any garages or sheds. They will
collate their findings in a detailed and
easily understood report.
Getting a good property inspection
Selwyn Times
carried out isn’t cheap though, particularly
if you’re unsuccessful in buying and have
to repeat the process. You have a range of
choices, from enlisting a builder mate to
using a qualified and insured inspector.
You can also make an inspection a
condition of your offer on a property.
If you choose this option, the report
must be prepared by a suitably qualified
building inspector in accordance with
accepted principles and methods. If you
then use the report’s findings to get out of
the contract, you must provide the seller
with a copy of it. Either way, the more
you invest in this exercise the safer you
will be if things don’t turn out as you had
expected.
The property pre-purchase inspection
industry is not regulated in New Zealand,
however the Real Estate Agents Authority
(REAA) recommends using a qualified
building inspector who has professional
indemnity insurance, understands the
strict legal requirements of their role and
carries out their work in accordance with
the New Zealand Property Inspection
Standard. This is important because they
will help protect you if something goes
wrong later on. If you discover problems
with the property that should have been
evident in a building inspection, you can
make a complaint to the professional body
that the inspector belongs to and seek
compensation through the courts.
If you buy a property based on a report
by someone like a builder mate who is
unqualified and/or uninsured, you could
end up owning some expensive problems.
Even worse, you may severely limit your
ability to seek damages if the property has
significant issues that would have been
picked up by a more thorough inspection.
You have limited other avenues if
things don’t turn out to be how they were
represented to you. You may be able to
rely on the warranties included in the sale
and purchase agreement by the seller. They
are required to confirm that (among other
things) any work they have done on the
property was carried out in accordance
with any necessary permits or consents
required by law. You may also have other
legal options which you should speak
to your lawyer about. REAA strongly
recommends that you speak to a lawyer
before you sign the sale and purchase
agreement to understand this more.
If you are looking to buy it’s a good
idea to get in touch with a local building
inspector as soon as you start your
property search. Ask friends and family
for their recommendations and request
a sample report from any inspector you
contact to get an idea of the kind of
information they provide. Real estate
agents can sometimes offer building
inspection reports to prospective buyers
on behalf of vendors. Treat these as a
starting point rather than a definitive
diagnostic guide to a property.
Paying for your own report means
you know the credentials of the person
who prepared it, you can be sure of its
impartiality and you can seek redress if
needed.
Depending on what a building
inspection finds, you may be able to
use a report to help you negotiate with
the vendor over price or repairs. Even
if a report only finds minor issues, you
can still use it as a road map for future
maintenance. Knowing what you’re in for
is invaluable when you’re buying property,
no matter how many times you’ve done it
before.
The New Zealand Institute of Building
Surveyors and the Building Officials
Institute of New Zealand both hold lists
of qualified property inspectors. See
buildingsurveyors.co.nz or boinz.org.nz
for more information.
