Pupils learn about role of war horses

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding

GREENDALE SCHOOL pupils

have taken a step back in time,

seeing first hand what men and

horses looked like during war.

The New Zealand Mounted

Rifles Charitable Trust president

Mark Appleton and member

Mike Donaldson took their

horses to the school on Monday,

in a bid to educate pupils on the

sacrifice their ancestors made in

World War 1 and World War 2.

Mr Appleton and Mr Donaldson

arrived at the school dressed

in World War 1 uniforms while

their horses Tommy and Kruze

wore 100-year-old saddles donated

to the trust.

The presentation is a prelude

to the Greendale Recreation Reserve

Management Committee’s

upcoming Anzac Day service.

As a tribute to those who

served, members of the trust will

ride horseback to the service.

Mr Appleton said it was

important children were

educated on what soldiers

went through during World

War 1 and World War 2.

But he said the presentation

didn’t go into too much detail

and was more of a “show and

tell” to make them aware of what

the soldiers looked like.

Children were shown the type

of kits horses were required to

wear in the war.

Mobile

traders

could

face

regulation


A CRACKDOWN on mobile

traders across the districts could

be looming.

However, the public has little

interest in having input into the

issue.

Only eight submissions were

received for a potential bylaw

aimed at regulating commercial

activities in public places.

The district council will be

holding a hearing for the Public

Places Bylaw and Policy on Commercial

Activities and Events in

Public Places.

A hearing is scheduled to be

held on Thursday.

The bylaw comes as an increasing

number of mobile traders

are seeking to operate in Selwyn,

especially during the summer

months.

In the past year, the district

council has received five inquiries

about setting up a mobile business

on private or public land.

A report said there are two

street operators in Darfield, a

coffee cart is parked beside the

railway in Rolleston, and a pizza

cart visits Lincoln weekly between

September-May along with a Thai

food truck.

THERE’S ABOUT to be a crackdown on

mobile traders in the form of a bylaw.

The traders sell food and other wares and

park up on empty sections, and the side of

the road. But it appears Joe and Jane Public

don’t care.

That’s about the only inference I can garner from the underwhelming

number of submissions the district council has

received on the matter – eight.

A bylaw will be discussed on Thursday and it will then go to a

full district council meeting in June.

But the council’s move for a bylaw to be fair has a lot of merit.

The number of mobile traders is increasing and that will continue

as the population grows.

So it’s time to act.

Working group for Selwyn River


A WORKING party will be

set up to address ongoing

frustrations over the state of the

Selwyn River/Waikirikiri.

Selwyn Waihora Zone Committee

member Paul Hodgson,

who joined the committee earlier

this year in attempt to make

a difference to the district’s

water quality issues is behind

the plan.

He made a presentation to the

committee last week on why a

group needed to be formed and

the need to develop a plan to

restore the river.

“I am a great believer that if

you can clearly articulate what

the requirements are, when you

actually go and talk to people it

is amazing the changes in the

attitude you can achieve,” Mr

Hodgson said.

He said there is no plan for

improving the river and not

enough is being done to get a

healthy river.

Mr Hodgson said it is most

important the plan is consulted

with the community.

It is estimated the group

will provide draft reports by

December on requirements for

a healthy ecosystem and how

to achieve a desired state of the

river.

Chairman Allen Lim said as

far as he is concerned the group

has been approved, but it was

working on the terms of reference

to govern how issues are

dealt with.

“We are looking forward to

having Paul starting, it is a good

initiative,” he said.

The plan aims to combat

community concerns not

resolved at a Environment Canterbury

water seminar series last

year.

ECan ran a series of seminars

to reduce tensions between residents

over how water issues in

the Selwyn-Waihora catchment

are managed.

But Mr Hodgson said he is

still concerned about how nitrate

issues are being addressed.

ECan’s chief scientist Tim

Davie said the nitrate concentrations

for the upper part of the

river at Whitecliffs are currently

low – a median of 0.21 mg/l.

But at the lower area of the

river the nitrate levels are high –

a median of 5.5mg/l.

Dr Davie said, as described in

the seminar series, provisions

in the Selwyn Te Waihora subregion

plan aim to lower the

concentration of nitrate in lowland

waterways like the Selwyn

River/Waikirikiri.

This is by reducing nitrates

leaching from farms in the

catchment.

“The overall catchment

reduction in nitrate leaching is

14 per cent, with dairy farms

required to reduce by 30 per

cent by 2022,” he said.

Mr Hodgson said Canterbury

University is investigating what

the river was like in the 1950-

1960s and if it can be restored to

that condition.

Sheet metal company –

a dream come true

SELWYN TIMES

ADvERTORIAL

Laser Cutting / Fabrication / Welding / CAD Design / CNC Folding

CNC Solutions are specialists in sheet metal

and plate processing. It is the long-held

ambition of Director/Owner Laine Etwell who

was happy to celebrate the first year since his

company opened.

Laine, born and raised in Christchurch and

now Rolleston resident, has been in the sheet

metal industry since leaving school when

he was just 16. In those 20 years, he’s gone

from the bottom of the ladder sweeping

the floor, to the top where he now runs his

own company and employs seven people in

a purpose-built facility in Izone. His mission

is “to provide a

cost effective,

professional

service to

customers while

maintaining

the highest

of quality in a

timely manner.”

CNC Solutions

provides a wide

range of services

including laser

cutting, folding,

welding, and

computer

aided design

- from one-off

components

to high volume

production of almost anything required. The

company has clients in the construction,

agriculture, dairy industries and many others.

Computer Numeric Control – CNC – is

the automation of machine tools by means

of computers executing pre-programmed

sequences of commands. Laine’s company

uses the latest software and laser cutting

technology to provide efficient, wasteminimised

service and high quality metal

products that meet extremely detailed

specifications for his clients.

Located in the centre of Izone, CNC

Solutions provides services to many of the

local companies that call Izone home as

well as the other very satisfied clients who

continue to use his services. The company

also has clients from Invercargill to Auckland

and demand for its services has become so

high, it now runs two shifts, operating from

6am until 1am each day.

In just one year, Laine’s company has

experienced phenomenal growth. In addition

to his 20 years of experience, he also has

long-standing relationships with others in

the industry, and has a reputation for quality

service and fair prices.

Laine’s dream of running a successful

sheet metal business has come true, and the

prospects for the future are certainly looking

good. He would like to offer his sincere

thanks to his clients, suppliers, and staff,

without whom he could not have done it.

Board gets okay to fight quarry


• By Emily O’Connell

THE HALSWELL-Hornby-

Riccarton Community Board

has been given the green light to

oppose the planned quarry near

Templeton.

Mayor Lianne Dalziel told the

board on Thursday it had the

okay from the city council to

make a submission

if Fulton

Hogan applies

for a resource

consent to create

a quarry.

Board chairman

Mike Mora

Mike Mora

said the submission

would likely

oppose Fulton

Hogan’s plan.

“You can just about guarantee

it . . . because we [the community

board] don’t believe quarries

should be so close to residential

areas,” he said.

Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if

the city council would endorse

the board’s submission.

“I’d like to think so because

the city council has had their

eyes open as well over recent

years over the crystalline silica

risk,” he said.

Mr Mora said the community

board will be “representing and

advocating” for the Templeton

community.

There has been widespread

opposition to the planned quarry

on Dawsons, Curraghs and Jones

Rds.

Fulton Hogan says the quarry,

which would be on a 170ha section

of land, will be there for up

to 40 years.

Residents have voiced concerns

about the potential health risks,

water issues and devaluing of

properties.

OPPOSITION: Halswell-

Hornby-Riccarton Community

Board chairman Mike

Mora took a ‘NO QUARRY’

sign to the full city council

meeting on Thursday. The

city council has given the

board the okay to make a

submission if Fulton Hogan

applies for resource consent

for its planned quarry near

Templeton.

Meanwhile, Mr Mora took a

‘NO QUARRY’ sign to the full

city council meeting on Thursday.

It came after the city council

launched an investigation into

the signs on properties in Templeton

last week.

City council head of regulatory

compliance Tracey Weston

said it’s investigating the size

and placement of the signs and

whether they breach city council

bylaws.

“A planning assessment is currently

being undertaken against

the District Plan and Public Places

Bylaw to determine what size

signage is permitted in the areas

where the signs are displayed,”

she said.

Mr Mora said it was to show

city councillors exactly what the

signs look like and that “there

shouldn’t be an issue.”

Southbridge/Darfield bus trial

FOR TWO days next week

the Selwyn Youth Council is

providing a free trial ninestop

bus service for the whole

community.

Buses will travel between

Southbridge and Darfield and

Darfield to Southbridge, via

Rolleston.

Selwyn Youth Council chairwoman

Paige Sullivan said Selwyn

Link is a Selwyn Youth Council

initiative aiming to increase connectedness

in the district.

She said this has been set up to

coincide with school holidays, to

enable the whole community to

better access services and activities.

“The youth council is very

excited to finally be able to offer

this service after 12 months of

hard work putting Selwyn Link

together. It all started after identifying

a need and then working

alongside the youth of Selwyn to

find a way to better connect the

whole community,” she said.

Youth Council research

identified Southbridge, Leeston,

Doyleston, Darfield, Kirwee, and

West Melton as key stops on the

trial route, with connections in

Rolleston.

The route was designed after

consultation with students from

Ellesmere College and Darfield

High School.

During the trial, passengers

Christchurch.

The two-day trial is for all

members of the community, and

is not exclusive to students.

The bus trial will take place on

Tuesday and Thursday (April 19).

The buses first depart Southbridge

and Darfield at 9am and

departures from these locations

will take place every two hours

until 7pm.

Members of the youth council

will be on board collecting feedback

on the service with a short

passenger survey.

They will present their findings

to Environment Canterbury and

Mr Wood has had a keen interest

“Apparently, I wanted to play

them when I was two-and-ahalf

years old, and I got there

eventually. I played in my first

“I really like to do it for the

Back Pain Sufferers

After more than ten years in

New Zealand, Teeter Hang-Ups

have now gained a reputation

for success with long-term

sufferers of Back pain. Inversion

New Zealand was started

by Dave and Nancy Hare,

Dave had suffered over

twenty years of back pain

from Degenerated Discs and

had basically given up and

decided to just live with it. “To

me surgery was never an

option” he said “as long as I

still could walk, there was

hope”.

Dave had tried everything;

every time he was overseas

he would search for anything

that could possibly help.

While on one of these

overseas trips ten years ago,

Dave discovered the Teeter

Hang-Ups. “The first time I

tried it, the pain disappeared

and I was completely pain

free for about 30 minutes,

nothing had done that” he

told me. Dave never believed

it would fix him, “as specialists

had told me it was irreversible,

I now knew I had a place

to go every time I wanted

some serious relief”.

To Dave’s surprise the more

he used the table the longer

the pain stayed away, until

after nearly three months he

was completely pain free, “I

couldn’t believe it’ he told me

“I had spent large amounts of

money on every form of treatment

available and here

was something I had never

heard of sorting it out for

me in a very short period of

time” It was then Dave

decided to introduce Teeter

into New Zealand and Inversion

NZ was born.

Over the years INZ have

helped thousands of people

get some serious relief and

have seen results in not only

backs, but necks, hips,

knees, posture, circulation,

increased height, blood

pressure and lots more.

“We have testimonials from

people with over fifty years

of back problems and even

have them in a number of

schools in New Zealand for

their special needs children”

he told me, “the blood to the

brain helps these kids and

the results are excellent”

What this means for the

aging population is that it

helps maintain the health of

the brain as we all get older.

Dave told me that he

realised that, had he not

tried the Teeter for himself

he would still be suffering, “I

would still be a miserable

grumpy bugger, living with

pain, that is why we do the

shows, people need to try it

for themselves” he told me

“most people actually get

off with the pain either gone

or considerably less” he said

“we let the tables do the

talking”

IT IS PURE LOGIC AS TO HOW

THE TEETER TABLE WORKS

Discs: It uses gravity to apply traction,

the traction gently opens the discs and as

they open up they create suction, this

suction draws fluid from the surrounding

tissue back into the discs, re-hydrating

them. This is the key! Discs do not have

their own blood supply, they rely on transfer

of fluid from the surrounding tissue to

keep them healthy and hydrated and over

the years as discs get thinner with age, they

lose the ability to take on fluid (just like

squeezing a sponge) and they start to

de-hydrate.

De-Hydrated discs are less flexible, they are

harder, more prone to injury, they interfere

with nerve roots creating pain and

ultimately the de-hydration causes degeneration.

The Teeter Inversion table slowly

and gently brings the hydration back into

the discs, plumping them up. This brings

back lost height (most people will regain

around 2 CM of height), it separates the

nerve roots far more effectively and returns

quality of life

Muscles: A lot of pain is muscular, when

muscles are stressed they become tight

which restricts the flow of blood and lymph

through the muscles so toxins build up,

Co2 and Lactic Acid. Traction opens up the

muscles, Rhythmic Traction, is a gentle

rocking motion that stimulates circulation

and encourages blood flow through the

muscles, which clears the lactic acid into

your lymph system where it stimulates

lymph flow and deals with it. Most people

with serious neck issues see a large

improvement after only one treatment.

Frank Harwood (84) of Turangi using his Teeter, Frank has been

Inverting for over eight years and has found it keeps him young

Posture: Poor posture is one of the

major cases of pain and is a major contributor

to the deterioration of the body with

age. A difference in leg length causes most

of the hip and knee issues, as they continue

to place uneven loads on the joints;

similar to the wheels out of alignment on

your car.

Trying to correct posture is extremely

difficult due to muscle memory, as it

constantly pulls the muscles back to where

they were. At a level of 40 degrees or more

on the Teeter, the muscle groups open up

and eventually come back into alignment,

using the table daily, does not allow the

muscle memory to pull them back out of

alignment and slowly the muscles start to

lose their memory and go with the flow,

allowing the body to come back into

correct posture. Then using the table once a

day will ensure it is kept there.

This is pure logic, if a machine is out of

alignment it does not last long, the only

difference between the body and a

machine is that the body is constantly

repairing itself, however if the wear and

tear on the body is greater than the body’s

ability to repair itself, it is a slow decline.

The Teeter slowly brings the body out of its

decline and allows the body to repair itself,

resulting in a far healthier life.

If you are serious about investing in your

health and really sorting your issues out,

come see us at one of our local roadshows,

you have nothing to lose and chances are, a

lot to gain.

BACK or NECK PAIN?

Come along for a free treatment

Here in New Zealand,

Dr Giresh Kanji, one of the countries most

respected Pain Specialists completed a PhD on

how humans experience pain and then

researched lower back pain, writing "Fix Your

Back" and then spent a few years researching

neck pain, headache and migraine and wrote

"Fix Your Neck Pain, Headache & Migraine",

both books are in most bookstores.

Dr Kanji discovered in the research that the

disc is the most likely source of low back pain

and Inversion showed the best results of all the

trials conducted. Three studies showed a 60%

reduction in pain and one showed a 75%

reduction in surgery for people with disc

prolapse.

Dr Kanji endorses Inversion as the best method

to manage back pain, he has personally been

using the Teeter Inversion tables for his own

low back pain, has Teeter Inversion tables at

both of his clinics in Wellington (The Sports

and Pain Clinic) and has had such success that

he is now conducting the largest study in the

World on Inversion Therapy. In his own words,

"these things are gold and inversion should be

a first line treatment for low back pain”.

Charlotte Ball

Lucky cyclist in hospital helipad bid

Prebbleton’s Charlotte

Ball, 15, was lucky not

to be paralysed last

year after a cycle crash.

The Leeston Club rider

is now taking part in a

Maia Health Foundation

campaign called

‘13 minutes’ to raise

$1 million for a rooftop

helipad at Christchurch

Hospital. She spoke

to Georgia O’Connor-

Harding

Why did you decide to take

part in the campaign?

I just wanted to make

something good out of a bad

situation. Try to find something

good I can do out of it.

What are your thoughts on

Christchurch Hospital not

having a rooftop helicopter pad,

in spite being one of the busiest

trauma centres in the country?

I am surprised that they don’t

since it is so busy. I thought they

would have started fundraising

for one much earlier on. I think

that would elevate patient care

if they had a helipad. That time

can be really vital for someone’s

recovery.

How has the campaign ‘13

minutes’ been going?

I think they are just over

halfway. They have raised a lot.

I guess if everyone puts in a bit,

they will get there.

Last year’s crash happened so

quickly but tell me about what

you remember.

I remember going in for the

sprint and everyone started

tumbling in front of me. There

was only a few people in front of

me because I was in a good spot.

I grabbed my brakes really hard

but it was too late. I went into

the back of the person in front

of me. Then I ended up on the

grass lying in the bush. I don’t

recall how. But I remember just

hearing the sound of people in

pain. The sound of bikes hitting

each other. I don’t think I will

last year in an crash during a race in Leeston.

ever forget that sound. I was

passing out a bit from the pain

and my friend came over and

my dad. People were coming and

going. I remember a firefighter

holding my head. I don’t really

recall much more between him

and the paramedics coming over.

Next thing I was in the helicopter

flying to the hospital.

Do you remember the trip

in the ambulance from the

helicopter landing in Hagley

Park to Christchurch Hospital?

I know I was really confused.

I remember being wheeled from

the helicopter to the ambulance,

and I just remember looking

at the guy in the ambulance

who was from the helicopter. I

was staring at him. That’s all I

remember. I was in and out of

consciousness. One minute I was

asleep and then I’d wake up and

be like “what is happening.”’ I

figured out what was happening

once I saw mum and dad in the

hospital.

What was the recovery like?

I was in hospital for nine

nights. Recovery was extremely

frustrating. I had just got back

on my bike from recovering

from surgery and I was now set

back more months. I couldn’t do

anything. All I wanted to do is

go out and ride my bike or just

walk around but I just couldn’t. I

had heaps of help, cyclist Hamish

Schreurs lent me a bike. Everyone

was being so nice but it couldn’t

really take away my frustration.

Being in hospital the last few

days was absolutely horrible. I

also didn’t really know what was

wrong with my bike.

They said it was broken but

I didn’t know how bad it was

or anything and they couldn’t

tell me how long my recovery

would be. They said I wouldn’t

be able do anything for three

months, which was real annoying

because we go away at Christmas

to Cromwell and they said I

wouldn’t be able to go on the

boat, on the wakeboard, or

anything. I was annoyed about

that.

When were you able to start

cycling again?

While we were away. At the

start of January, I got on my

cousin’s bike. I was really slow

for about 5km. It was tough but

then I started properly riding. At

the end of January, I was able to

go for a decent ride. I have done

a few races since the crash so I

am riding properly now. I am not

training with my coach yet. I am

waiting a few more weeks.

Was there any risk of

becoming paralysed from the

crash?

The doctor said I was close to

being put in Burwood Hospital

but where it was positioned it

was a stable fracture. They said I

was lucky not to be paralysed and

lucky not to be getting surgery.

I think it depends on how you

break it.

Do you view your life

differently now having gone

through this experience?

I definitely have a lot of respect

for people who are paralysed or

have a disability that affects them

from doing different things. I can

just see how frustrating it must be

for them to go through that.

Have you stayed in touch

with the others injured in the

Leeston crash last year?

A few of them I go to school

with. I have been out to Leeston

with dad when I couldn’t race

and then I have been out there

since the crash and seen them

all. A few of them did the race

as well. I saw them there. I am

pretty sure everyone is all good

now.

You haven’t been put off

cycling.

Definitely not.

What are your goals as a

cyclist?

I am in my third year in

cycling. I haven’t got too many

expectations. I will see how this

year goes. I think it would be

really cool to represent New

Zealand in a time trial event

because I enjoy doing the time

trials. •Turn to page 13

Kirkwood Intermediate

School of Choice

Year 7 camp at Purau Bay

This is a great way for the children to get to know each other.

From the left: Seth, Kaitlyn, Katie, Angus, Ethan, Emma, Aria and Ben

Celebrating Kirkwood House

Captains for 2018

House Captains for Mansfield/Hillary

Ben - Ex Springston School I enjoy Kirkwood because everyone is

friendly and the learning environment is great. I would like to be a good

role model for the Year 7’s and 8’s as well as make Kirkwood enjoyable

for everyone.

Camp was a blast! We developed friendships, experienced Canadian canoeing, abseiling,

camping and enjoyed yummy food. When we were at camp, we learnt to cooperate with each

other. We had the most amazing parent helpers which we really enjoyed. We had to work things

out when things were not right and we had to listen to instructions when the parents and teacher

said so. Most of all we had fun. Manthan (Room 10)

Aria - Ex Springston School Kirkwood has a friendly environment that

embraces everyone. The school provides many opportunities and the

technology is amazing. I want to make the school a better place by

embracing everyone’s culture and to be a good role model.

House Captains for Sheppard/Freyberg

Seth - Ex Prebbleton School I enjoy the environment and the learning

at Kirkwood. I would like to motivate and support others to achieve

their goals.

Kaitlyn - Ex Lincoln Primary School I love the learning style, and how

supportive and helpful the teachers are, all the opportunities there are

and how Kirkwood will set me up for high school. This year, I want to be

able to leave something for future pupils and be able to organise events

to make school more exciting.

House Captains for Britten/Te Kanawa

Katie - Ex Clearview Primary School I love the learning style, the

great opportunities that Kirkwood provides and the friendly staff and

children that go to Kirkwood. I want to achieve my best at everything

and take up every opportunity provided.

Angus - Ex Prebbleton School I love the opportunities, chances and

the friendly people at Kirkwood. I want to meet lots of new people and

help make this year better for everyone.

House Captains for Rutherford/Batten

Ethan - Ex Oaklands School I love the fun and happy environment

that Kirkwood has. I want to do my best at everything.

Emma - Ex Prebbleton School I enjoy the different opportunities in

sporting and academic competitions as well as the open, friendly and

welcoming aura that surrounds the school. This year, I would like to

make a positive impression on the future Year 8’s and to encourage

others to achieve to the best of their abilities.

Our second day of camp at Purau Bay we did Canadian canoeing. At first the waves and the

paddles did not cooperate but we found out it is about us and the paddles. We had to work

together. The person at the front had to choose what speed we were going to go, the person in

the middle is like the engine of the canoe where they had to follow the momentum of the person

in front. The person at the back controls the direction. Everyone must always be ready to change

the direction if it is necessary. Megan (Room 10)

Cyclist’s bid for hospital helipad

•From page 10

I enjoy how it is really

social and being able to see

improvements and your training

paying off.

Are you mainly a road cyclist?

I don’t do mountain biking. I

pretty much just do road cycling.

I got taken out of track season

this year because of my back and

last year I got taken out because

of my hip because I crashed on

the track last season.

That was last season at the

Denton Park Velodrome and I

landed on my hip. They thought I

had broken my pelvis.

Do you have a favourite place

to cycle?

Probably my favourite ride

is the Forrest Graperide in

Blenheim.

It is very scenic and all the

people are really nice. It is just a

really fun bike ride.

What has it been like seeing

yourself on billboards as one

of the faces of the ‘13 minute’

campaign?

It is a bit embarrassing because

my bus goes past it and the kids

recognise me. But I mean it is a

once in a lifetime thing.

What have your friends and

family said about you taking

part in the campaign?

SPEED: Charlotte Ball

racing in the Cuddon South

Island secondary schools’

two-day tour in Blenheim

last year.

They think it is pretty cool.

They have supported me through

it, seeing all the good and bad

times.

What are you planning to do

when you leave school?

I want to see where I go with

will see if I am good enough to

concerns over the safety

of children at the Springs

Prebbleton

I am utterly amazed of the

comments made by Andrew

Mazey saying that the suggestion

by the Prebbleton

Community Association of

flashing lights is outdated. In

Te Puke there is a road where

two of the main schools are

situated. At both ends a flashing

This operates before and after

school hours and occasionally,

an unmarked police car

is parked there. To this day, I

have heard of no complaints

or speeding infringements,

also no accidents. So, Mr

Mazey you are the one who is

outdated. So, I am behind the

associations’ suggestions. As

far as his suggestion about the

new lights is concerned, who

is going to stand with a light

decide when to turn them on?

FIVE TEAMS remain

unbeaten in the combined

country rugby competition

following three rounds of play.

Southbridge and Ashburton

are both undefeated in section

A, while Prebbleton, Darfield

and Rakaia all kept their unbeaten

records alive in section

B. After a second round hiccup,

Waihora continued their return

to form with a commanding

Prop Jim Cummings and

fullback Mark Maitland both

grabbed doubles in the try-fest

at Kirwee Domain. It was also

a successful day with the boot

for halfback Harry Kirk who

nailed every single conversion

attempt.

Waihora moved their game

to Kirwee due to the opening

of their new changing rooms,

which took place on Sunday.

Their new rugby clubrooms are

expected to be opened in June.

They will look to rack up

another bonus point win on

Saturday when they host lowly

Hampstead who were on the

receiving end of a 10-83 hiding

from defending champions

Southbridge at the weekend.

Newcomers Springston continued

their impressive return

to division one rugby with a

Netball star makes national team

AN ELLESMERE College

student is showing her potential

as a future netball star after

being named in the New

Zealand under-13 Maori netball

team.

Ella Gibson was selected after

taking part in the New Zealand

National Maori tournament

in Gisborne over the Easter

weekend.

The year 9 student has been

playing netball now for seven

years, initially playing for her

primary school in Palmerston

North, where her coaches

marked her as a player to keep

an eye on.

After her family moved to

Selwyn four years ago, Ella signed

up to play for her new primary

school team and the Ellesmere

Combined Netball Club.

On the court, she has demonstrated

she has a high athletic

ability and is developing a strong

understanding of the game.

This year she has joined the

Kereru Netball Club based in

Christchurch.

After her efforts last season,

Ella was chosen for the Te

Waipounamu under-13 training

squad.

The squad came together

over the Christmas holidays to

develop their skills and on court

partnerships in preparation for

the National Maori tournament.

Although she plays goal attack

for her club team she was asked

to play goal defence for the tournament

team.

PROMISING: Ellesmere

College student Ella

Gibson has been

selected in the New

Zealand under-13 Maori

netball team.

Ella’s skill base meant she

was able to adapt to the “new”

position and obviously did a

great job, being the only one of

her team to be chosen for the

national team.

The tournament team was

named after two days of intense

competition, where they played

nine games.

The Te Waipounamu team had

mixed results, winning five of

their nine games and eventually

coming fifth in Gisborne.

At the prize-giving, Ella was

completely surprised when she

was named in the tournament

team.

“It was a bit of a shock,” she

said.

“Being named in the team

was a real honour because there

were so many good players at the

tournament,” she said.

Ella would eventually like to

play for the Silver Ferns but she

knows it’s going to take a lot of

hard work and practice to get

there.

Ella’s athletic abilities

are not restricted to playing

netball.

She is a keen cricketer having

made Canterbury Country

rep sides for mixed cricket and

making the Canterbury teams

for girls cricket as a bowler.

She also plays basketball and

has been named in the college’s

senior squad this year.

DUNSANDEL TEEN racer

Kane Botherway has won a New

Zealand grass kart title after

coming close on three previous

occasions.

Kane, 13, won the

intermediate class at the New

Zealand grass karting champs

at the Christchurch Grass

Karting Club in Ohoka. After

finishing fourth, second and

third in previous national

championships, Kane cracked

the top of the podium this time

round.

Eighteen karts were entered in

the intermediate grade. The

fiercely contested grade

saw six karts all vying for a

podium finish going into the

last heat. Fellow Selwyn racer

and Kane’s friend, Jack Nairn,

had a nasty spin out in the final

Got places to go? Try a

free trial bus service!

On Tuesday 17 and Thursday 19 April a trial nine-stop bus service will be available

between Southbridge and Darfield and Darfield to Southbridge. The route will go via

Rolleston, where passengers can also catch a connecting service to Christchurch.

This two-day service is completely free and for the whole community!

Why are we doing it?

Selwyn Link is a Selwyn Youth Council initiative aiming to increase connectedness in

the district, particularly during school holidays, and enable the whole community to

better access services and activities.

Youth Council research identified Southbridge, Leeston, Doyleston, Darfield, Kirwee

and West Melton as key stops on the trial route with connections in Rolleston. The

route was designed after consultation with students from Ellesmere College and

Darfield High School.

How can you take part?

If you are keen to highlight the need for a new public transportation system in Selwyn,

help make the trial a success by taking part and using the buses to get around Selwyn!

The buses first depart Southbridge and Darfield at 9am and departures from these

locations will take place every two hours until 7pm. See full timetable below.

Members of the Youth Council will be on board collecting feedback on the service

with a short passenger survey. They will present their findings to Environment

Canterbury and the Selwyn District Council.

For more information on Selwyn Link, head to www.selwyn.govt.nz or Selwyn Youth

Council Facebook page.

SELWYN TIMES

What do you think about the idea of adding an extension to Selwyn Aquatic Centre to meet the

high demand from swimmers?

Should the Council bring in a new way of funding community halls and reserves that helps spread

the cost impacts on smaller communities?

Do you support adding more walkways and cycleways to connect townships across Selwyn?

With sports club memberships across Selwyn growing rapidly, is it time to build a multi-purpose

indoor courts hub for the district?

Should the Council be thinking about whether chlorination is an option to protect the safety of

drinking water supplies in some parts of Selwyn?

These are just some of the questions the Council is currently seeking community input on, through

our Long-Term Plan.

Consultation on the plan is now in full swing – and dozens of Selwyn residents have already taken

the opportunity to contribute their feedback and ideas through submissions, online surveys or

conversations with councillors at community events.

The consultation document, Fast Forward ’28, was released last week, and copies are available at

the Council offices or any library and service centre, or online.

We’ve also included a summary liftout in this week’s edition of the Selwyn Times, outlining the

major projects and proposals that are included in the 10-year plan.

Over the next few weeks councillors will continue visiting community events and locations to talk

to residents about the plan.

And starting later this week, Mayor Sam Broughton will be visiting some the district’s favourite

cafes to give locals an opportunity to find out more about the Council’s proposals, ask questions

and have a chat about what they’d like to see in the next 10 years.

A Cuppa with Sam starts at Darfield Bakery on Thursday. Anyone is welcome to drop in for a chat

with the Mayor at one of these locations.

Thursday 12 April: Darfield Bakery, 9–10.30am; Hororata Café, 11am–12.30pm.

Monday 16 April: Tai Tapu Store, 9–10.30am; Lincoln Coffee Culture, 11am–12.30pm

Tuesday 17 April: Rolleston Robert Harris, 9–10.30am; West Melton Two Fat Possums,

11.30am–12.30pm

Tuesday 24 April: Leeston Hillyers, 9–10.30am; Dunsandel Store, 11am–12.30pm

Thursday 26 April: Sheffield Pie Shop, 9–10.30am; Prebbleton Hartnells Café, 11.15am–12.30pm

For more information on the proposals in the Long-Term Plan, and on how you can contribute your

feedback, visit www.selwyn.govt.nz/fastforward28. Consultation is open until 5pm, Friday 4 May.

ON THE

ROADS

Intersection upgrades

Selwyn’s community plan —

time to have your say

On the roads this week

Stabilised seal repairs will be occurring on Leeston Road, Wards Road and Old

West Coast Road. Tree removal will be carried out on Davidson Road and The Lake

Road. Reseals will occur on Old West Coast Road and Bealey Road. Reconstruction

will continue on Cordys Road. Please stop on request at these sites. Footpath

reconstruction will be carried out in Leeston.

Masefield Drive/Rolleston Drive

Last week Fulton Hogan poured the traffic signal pole foundations in the north-west corner and

prepared the new footpath on the northern side of Rolleston Drive, all the way round to where the

existing footpath finished outside Rolleston square. This week they’ll be working on the southern side

of the intersection, constructing the second soak pit, pouring the traffic signal pole foundations and

preparing the new footpath.

Jones Road/Hoskyns Road

Last week Isaac Construction poured the new traffic signal pole foundations and installed the

underground ducts for the traffic lights. This week they’ll be completing storm water works, including

sumps, basins and soak pits. They’ll also be removing the existing and preparing the first section of

new kerb and channel.

Try a free Selwyn bus service

these holidays

For two days these holidays the Selwyn Youth Council is providing a

free trial nine-stop bus service for the whole community.

Buses will travel between Southbridge and Darfield and Darfield to

Southbridge, via Rolleston.

Paige Sullivan, Selwyn Youth Council Chairperson says Selwyn Link

is a Selwyn Youth Council initiative aiming to increase connectedness

in the district, particularly during school holidays, and enable the

whole community to better access services and activities.

“The youth council is very excited to finally be able to offer this

service after 12 months of hard work putting Selwyn Link together.

It all started after identifying a need and then working alongside

the youth of Selwyn to find a way to better connect the whole

community,” she says.

Youth Council research identified Southbridge, Leeston, Doyleston,

Darfield, Kirwee, and West Melton as key stops on the trial route, with

connections in Rolleston. The route was designed after consultation

with students from Ellesmere College and Darfield High School.

During the trial, passengers will be able to travel for free between

Southbridge and Darfield via Rolleston, where they can also catch a

connecting service to Christchurch.

The two-day trial is for all members of the community, and is not

exclusive to students on their school holiday.

The bus trial will take place on Tuesday 17 and Thursday 19 April. The

buses first depart Southbridge and Darfield at 9am and departures

from these locations will take place every two hours until 7pm.

Members of the Youth Council will be on board collecting feedback

on the service with a short passenger survey. They will present their

findings to Environment Canterbury and the Selwyn District Council.

Young Selwyn swimmer makes

waves at Commonwealth Games

Selwyn swimmer Celyn Edwards has just competed in the 2018

Gold Coast Commonwealth Games.

Over the weekend Celyn competed in two races. In the SB8 100m

Breaststroke he placed sixth and took 2.61 seconds off his personal

best and in the SM8 200 Individual Medley he placed fourth, taking

5.64 seconds off his personal best - narrowly missing out on the

bronze medal!

The Commonwealth Games has always been a goal for Celyn,

since he started swimming competitively five years ago. Last

year at the Internationale Deustche Meisterschaften Para

Swimming World Series in Berlin he made qualifying times for the

Commonwealth Games.

He has been working hard since then, training twice a day,

approximately 16 hours a week, both in the pool and at the gym.

He was most looking forward to experiencing the team culture and

representing New Zealand.

Selwyn Aquatic Centre Head Coach Ben Close says Celyn’s

swimming has hugely improved over the last year.

“Celyn’s swimming has taken some huge steps forward in the last

18 months. His level head and constant drive for self-improvement

is something that’s hard to come by and has certainly contributed to

his recent success.”

After the Commonwealth Games, Celyn has his sights set on the

Para Pan-Pacific Champs in Cairns later on in the year and the 2020

Tokyo Paralympics.

FLUSH YOUR TAPS

Some plumbing fittings have

the potential to allow minute

traces of metals to accumulate

in water standing in the fittings

for several hours. Although the

health risk is small, the Ministry

of Health recommends that you

flush a mugful of water from

your drinking-water tap each

morning before use to remove

any metals that may have

dissolved from the plumbing

fittings. We are recommending

this simple precaution for all

households, including those

on public and private water

supplies. This notice is issued

by Selwyn District Council on

behalf of the Director-General of

Real Petfood on Jones Road are

specialists in producing raw pet meat

for dogs, cats and puppies. All meat is

sourced locally and processed in the Real

Petfood abattoir. Bernie and his team

ensure there is a supply of fresh meat

every day for your pets.

The pet meat consists of beef, chicken,

rabbit and horse. “Horse meat is nonallergenic

so vets often prescribe it for

dogs that react to beef,” explains Bernie.

Real Petfood also stocks a large variety of

meaty bones, good as a treat and great for

the teeth of your dog.

New to Real Petfood is the

introduction of salmon to its meat range,

Salmon will be available in portions but

will also be introduced into some of

the mixes, such as the new chicken and

salmon mix. Salmon is a rich source of

omega-3 fatty acids which can support

the immune system, nourish healthy skin

and coat and also to help support joint

health and mobility in your pet.

The Real Petfood meat is available

as steak, mince, individual portions or

specialist mixes. The mixes are available

free flow for ease and convenience. Real

Petfood supply a puppy mix to ensure

all the needs of a young puppy’s growth

and development is cared for through

to the specialist Musters Mix for those

high energy working dogs. All pet meat is

natural, with no addition of preservatives,

additives or fillers. The potential benefits

of a raw pet meat diet can include a

shiner coat, healthier skin, cleaner teeth,

higher energy levels and smaller stools.

Real Petfood cater for all customer

needs and can supply smaller quantities

of mince, steak, small portions and

individual bones, ideal if your pet is

transitioning to a raw meat diet or perfect

for your pet to try, through to bulk

buying boxes or large bags. Delivery can

also be arranged for the Rolleston area on

orders of more than $70.

If you have any questions or are

just needing some advice on how to

transition your pet from a biscuit diet

onto a real meat diet, pop in and speak

to Bernie. Real Petfood can be found at

Shop 4, 855 Jones Road in Rolleston. To

Natives will grow well in a small plot


• By Henri Ham

NOW’S THE time to plant

natives.

Many people think natives can

only be grown when you have lots

of space. But there are lots of low

growing native plants that look

lovely in a smaller garden – like

pūrei (carex), hibiscus and hebe.

Other native plants like kōhūhū

(pittosporum tenuifoliam) and

akeake can make lovely shelter

belts or hedges.

And I’ve even planted a couple

of tī kouka (cabbage tree) and

kānuka plants into pots and

placed them at the entrance of my

house. The pots have restricted

the roots of the trees and in a way

created a ‘bonsai’ effect so they

don’t grow very tall. They’re about

1.8m tall at the moment. The bees

love the kānuka, which is great for

pollinating my nearby vegetable

garden.

If you’re thinking about planting

natives, or adding to your existing

native garden, I suggest getting

on to it now. We’re officially

into autumn and the weather has

cooled off but isn’t too wet, which

makes it the perfect time to plant

trees and shrubs. And while most

of the natives are very hardy, it’s

good to get them in the ground

and established before the frosts

kick in.

Once you’ve got your plants,

dig a hole and bury each plant to

the top of its root ball. Then water

in gently. If you don’t get any rain

after planting, I suggest watering

every two or three days.

It’s also a good idea to keep the

immediate area surrounding the

plants weed free for a while as the

plants won’t be able to outgrow

any weeds at this early stage of

their life.

Natives are a long-term investment

in your garden and depending

on the variety you grow could

take between months and years to

become fully grown. But they’re

well worth the wait.

HIDING PLACE: CarexGreen is

a great ground cover – and a

welcoming place for your cat

to play.

PETITE:

Hibiscus

is a pretty

native

which

is low

growing.

HARDY: Get your natives in the ground now before the frosts

kick in.

Mitsubishi ASX not to be outclassed


• By Ross Kiddie

MITSUBISHI Motors New

Zealand has initiated a solid

marketing campaign for its new

sport utility vehicle, the Eclipse

Cross.

That doesn’t surprise me, the

newcomer is a smart piece of kit

and it deserves to command a big

slice of the mid-size SUV market.

However, it must be

remembered that Mitsubishi

here has another mid-size SUV

contender – the ASX – and it has

been heavily facelifted for 2018.

Meaning active smart

crossover, the ASX was

introduced to New Zealand in

2011 and has also been a popular

seller, its concept appeals to

family buyers at a value-based

entry point as well, the new series

tempts from just under $30k.

There are four models in the

ASX line-up, two petrol and two

diesel, the latter in four-wheeldrive.

This evaluation focuses on

the entry-level two-wheel-drive

XLS at $29,990; an extra $10,600

will get you into a high-spec

VRX, while the two 2.3-litre

diesel models list at $41,990 and

$45,990 respectively.

While I’d far prefer the diesel,

the carryover 2-litre petrol

engine is still a fine unit, it is the

same engine which has powered

Lancer through the years.

MITSUBISHI ASX: Choice of petrol or diesel engines.

The 1998cc unit develops

112kW and 200Nm, and is

paired to a six-step continuously

variable automatic transmission

and drives through to the

front wheels. These power and

torque outputs are traditional,

they arrive tall in the rev band at

6000rpm and 4200rpm respectively;

nevertheless, when you

have the benefit of CVT there is

a constant point of gearing which

instantly meets throttle request.

The ASX feels lively and will

cut out a standstill to 100km/h

time in 9.9sec, it’s also quite

smart on a highway overtake,

6sec to make 120km/h from

80km/h is about the norm for a

vehicle such as this.

I took the test car inland to

Hororata and back to my home

through Dunsandel and Coes

Ford. It cruises quietly at highway

speed and affords a smooth ride.

Sprung on a fully independent

front strut/rear multiple link system,

the suspension’s mechanical

elements have been developed

without compromising the ASX’s

function.

Body movement is controlled

without the firming needed to

arrest gravitational force. Instead,

the ASX has spring and damper

rates engineered so that the occupants

reap a comfortable ride

without being presented with a

lurch mid-corner.

The ASX is fitted with tall 18in

wheels, and shod with quality

Bridgestone Dueler rubber

• Price – Mitsubishi ASX

XLS, $29,990

• Dimensions – Length,

4365mm; width, 1810mm;

height, 1640mm

• Configuration – Fourcylinder,

front-wheeldrive,

1998cc, 112kW,

200Nm, continuously

variable automatic

• Performance –

0-100km/h, 9.9sec

• Fuel usage – 7.6l/100km

(225/55), there is strong steering

feel and plenty of grip on offer.

I pointed the test car at some

tricky corners along my test

route, it turns nicely and feeds to

the steering wheel positive information

as to how the tyres react

under pressure.

Even without four-wheel-drive

there is still the feel that grip

levels are elevated, while balance

and control are fully retained. I

like the way the ASX drives, it’s

no sports car but it does have

performance and handling ability

which is far in excess of its

purpose.

Although the XLS misses out

on leather trim and a few other

niceties, it still gets a healthy level

of specification, and fabric trim is

by far my preference. Mitsubishi

has upped the specification level

in the ASX; although most of

those additions are hidden, they

are electronic inclusions for safety

and infotainment.

In terms of fuel use, Mitsubishi

has done well to lean out the

engine. As I remarked previously,

it has been around for some time,

but it is a fuel miser and carries

a 7.6-litre per 100km (37mpg)

combined cycle claim.

This is much the same figure

as the previous generation model

and although I didn’t replicate

it, I did get close. The fuel usage

readout was constantly listing

around 8.1l/100km (35mpg)

during my time with the test

car, and I can report a 5l/100km

(56mpg) instantaneous figure

sitting at a steady 100km/h. At

that speed the engine is working

over at a lazy 1700rpm in the

tallest part of the gearing.

Mitsubishi Motors New

Zealand is the only new car

company operating here which

offers a 10-year/160,000km

powertrain warranty across its

entire range.

To me that says a lot about the

quality of the product, and if

you look at how long the Lancer,

Outlander and ASX have been

available in our market, that suggests

they have not only been well

received but have been built to

last the distance.

Frocks, Feathers & Fabrication

John Emery’s latest exhibition at Little River Gallery

Although born and raised in the American Midwest,

John Emery has spent the past twenty-five years shuttling

back and forth between Dayton, Ohio and Burkes Pass,

New Zealand, where he established a second home and

studio in 2000.

“It is not just the object, but also its history--its

veritable shadow-- that I set out to record in my work.

It is the fragmented story that haunts me. Memories,

symbolism, physical similarities, all play a part in creating

the “fabrication”. Objects are often from a bygone era, or

worn with repeated use,

reflecting time’s passage.

At times they are literally

in pieces: the shattered

porcelain, the cast-off

sardine tin, a bird feather,

or watching the flight of a

fantail. In reclaiming them

for my own tromp l’oiel

still life constructions, I

conjure them into a new

world. Like life itself,

each work resonates with

both the story and history

associated with some

objects, and the imagined

The Invincibles

Killer Look

potential of others.

My painting process typically begins with a solitary

object, a toy bear, or a Victorian hunting dress. A visual

narrative is then constructed in the same way that I

fabricated stories about the neglected objects found in

my grandparents’ long forgotten trunks. As with all my

works, some elements become three-dimensional as I

form them from paper, the most versatile material I know”

John Emery.

Time flies over us, but

leaves its shadow behind.

CHOOO CHOOO!!

The Canterbury Steam Preservation

Society is holding a Steam

Extravaganza on the Weekend of

14th and 15th April on McLeans

Island Road behind the Airport.

This is regarded as the No. 1 Steam

Event in New Zealand with more

than 25 steam driven vehicles

present.

The Society is responsible for

preserving our heritage with coal

and wood fired boilers that produce

steam. People can see how shiny

pistons drive rods and fly wheels that

are linked together to turn steam into

power.

Working demonstrations will be

held wet or fine between 10am and

2pm because they are in purposely

built buildings. There will be

sawmilling and sheep shearing

inside. Other demonstrations will be

threshing of grain crops, and stone

crushers all driven by steam engines.

At a previous event the comment

was made – “surely people couldn’t do

that work all day”.

One of the major features this year

will be the Model Railway which is 20

metres long. Come and have a look at

this Railway complete with sound and

scenery.

There is a free train ride which loops

1.5 km around the property with two

Entertainment

open sided carriages so you can view

what is going on around you.

Another major attraction is the

Museum which has a number of steam

engines quietly ticking over.

There is plenty of memorability on

display. If the day is wet this is the

perfect place to be.

Children can be entertained by

riding on the miniature train at a cost

of $2.

There will be plenty of food stalls but

no Eftpos and dogs are not allowed.

Entry fee is $15 per adult, Children

under 15 are free.

Come and enjoy the smoke and the

smells from all the steam engines.

To the older generation this brings

back so many memories and for the

younger ones it will show how these

machines worked once upon a time.

Gates will be open at 9am.

Home heating –

electricity, gas or wood?

How you heat your home depends on a

number of factors. Figuring out the best

way to heat your home continues to be a

matter for debate.

Several things are undisputed. A

warm, dry home is essential for

comfort and good health, good

insulation dramatically increases

the efficiency of any heating

system and ventilation is an

important consideration.

Most homes are

heated by electricity,

gas, or wood. In

New Zealand,

heating accounts

for approximately

30 percent of a

home’s annual energy

consumption. There are many

things you can do to reduce

consumption and cost.

The World Health Organisation

recommends a temperature of 18 deg C

for indoor living areas, and slightly less for

bedrooms. It recommends slightly higher

temperatures for vulnerable people – the

elderly and small children. Studies have

shown that indoor temperatures below 12

degrees can disrupt sleep.

Among all these considerations, how

you heat your home is a matter of personal

choice, with many options available.

Heat pumps are generally the most

common and cost-effective form of home

heating in New Zealand. Used properly,

they heat quickly and are convenient.

However, you need to have the right sized

unit for the area and they don’t work when

electricity is not available. They tend to be

room-specific but ducted heat pumps are

becoming more popular and are costeffective,

especially in new builds, but can

also be installed into established homes.

Modern wood burners may be the

closest you can get to an open-fire feel, but

are much more efficient. Wood is generally

a renewable fuel, and if you have a cheap

or free supply, a wood burner may be

the least expensive heating option. They

heat large areas and are not dependent

on electricity but there is the chopping

and stacking to be done, flues need to be

cleaned regularly and older models can

contribute to air pollution and may violate

strict air quality regulations – www.mfe.

govt.nz has detailed information regarding

this.

Pellet fires are typically more efficient

than wood burners but can have a smaller

output. They require electricity but

some have a battery backup and they are

thermostatically controlled with timers.

These must comply with regulations which

are also detailed on the Ministry for the

Environment website.

Gas heating is common and convenient.

Central heating systems can be zone

controlled and provide warm air

circulation. Flued gas heaters are best, as

unflued and portable gas heaters produce

lots of moisture and emit pollutants that

can be unsafe. Flued gas heating systems

can be installed in most homes. They are

fast heating and are relatively inexpensive

to run. However gas is not a renewable

resource and prices can vary widely.

The greatest source of energy is actually

free. Harnessing the sun can dramatically

reduce heating costs and is the most

environmentally friendly way to heat your

home. Passive heating combines insulation

with good design, accomplished more

effectively in new builds but also able to be

incorporated into existing homes.

Getting the sun’s warmth into your

home is a function of the design; keeping

it in is a function of the insulation. There

is a wealth of information online as passive

heating becomes normative in the design

and building industry.

Websites such as energywise.govt.

nz and smarterhomes.org.nz have

comprehensive information on and tips

for, heating your home in the colder

months.

What you need to know about open

homes when you’re selling a property

As Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern

recently commented while visiting a family

in Samoa, there is nowhere more sacred

than your home. Welcoming visitors is one

thing, opening it up to complete strangers

is another situation entirely.

When you’re selling a property you get

to decide how the open home process is

run. If you’re working with a real estate

agent, this is will be part of the marketing

plan that you agree upon with them before

you sign the agency agreement. The real

estate agent will advise you on the timing

and frequency of open homes, or any

other viewings. If there is anything you

are uncertain about, talk to the agent and

make your feelings clear. There’s no law

that you have to have open homes – you

may decide that you’d rather have viewings

by appointment only.

“Bear in mind though that in order to

sell your home, people will have to see it,”

says Kevin Lampen-Smith, chief executive

of the Real Estate Authority (REA). “You

may have to be flexible on when viewings

are held, even if they are not particularly

convenient.”

If you are selling privately, you have full

responsibility for running any viewings.

This can be time-consuming and has the

potential to be distressing if you’re not

braced to hear other people’s criticisms of

your property. Some private sellers get a

friend to help out for this reason.

When it comes to the marketing and

selling process of your home it’s a good

idea to look at things from the perspective

of the real estate agent and any prospective

purchaser, Lampen-Smith says.

“Open homes often attract people who

are just browsing to see what’s around, or

neighbours who have always wanted to

see what ‘that house at number 10’ is like.

The agent will report back to you after the

open home to let you know the level of

interest – if they have kept an electronic

or paper record of visitors it will give you

an indication of how many visitors were

sticky beaks from down the street.”

In an ideal world, people will treat your

home with respect when viewing it, he

says.

“If you suspect they will need

reminding, request that the agent asks

visitors to remove any wet weather gear or

shoes before entering. Most people go on a

major cleaning, tidying and de-cluttering

mission before putting a property on the

market, which will make it much easier

to prepare it for an open home. It’s a

good idea to clear away any valuables or

personal items (if time is short, dump

them all in a washing basket that you can

pick up and take with you) and use your

own common sense about what you want

strangers to see.”

Don’t shove things into cupboards or

wardrobes – prospective buyers will be

keen to gauge storage capacity. Remember

that families with small children could be

going through your property and delicate

ornaments or family heirlooms might be

better out of harm’s way.

Selling a property can be a stressful time,

but you’ll make it much easier on yourself

if you work out a plan of attack, including

getting the advice of professionals along

the way, Lampen-Smith says.

“Present your home well and it’s more

likely to attract another set of owners.”
