Maddie’s family open up on nine-year battle
West Melton teenager Maddie Collins has become a household name as her family tries to raise $750,000 to get
her to the United States for a kidney transplant. After dozens of operations, a failed transplant and her mother’s
breast cancer diagnosis, the 13-year-old’s family hasn’t given up hope of giving her a normal life. Bridget Rutherford
sat down exclusively with the family to tell their story.

THE
EDITOR’S
DESK
TEENAGER MADDIE Collins has
received a lot of publicity over the
past year or so as her family strives
to raise enough money which may
keep her alive.
But who is Maddie Collins and
her family?
Today (pages 8, 9, 10), Maddie
and her mum Sarah talk with
reporter Bridget Rutherford about
their journey. It is a compelling
read.
Life has all sorts of suprises and
for the Collins family that came in
late October, 2008.
Maddie woke up one morning
with puffy eyes. The family
thought it was an allergic reaction
to grass and hay.
Fast forward to 2017 and
13-year-old Maddie is fighting for
her life. What she had was a kidney
disease.
Her family has been fighting a
battle since. They deserve all of the
help they can get.

Police radar in on
drink drivers leading up to Xmas
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
and Andrew King
POLICE ARE preparing
to launch their Christmas
campaign to stop drink driving
in Selwyn.
The aim of the campaign is to
reduce the number of alcoholrelated
crashes in the district
by encouraging people to plan
a safe ride
home before
going out to
drink.
It comes
after a man
crashed a
vehicle near
Southbridge
Pete Stills
and recorded
more than
three times
the legal limit on Friday.
Emergency services were
called to the scene on Collins
Rd at about 9pm, but the driver
escaped major injuries.
Police said the tradesman had
been drinking “all afternoon” at
a hotel before heading towards
his home in Southbridge when
he crashed.
“He was lucky he didn’t kill
himself,” Senior Constable

Andy Williamson said.
Police allege the man recorded
more than 900 micrograms
of alcohol per litre. The legal
limit is 250mcg/L.
Senior Sergeant Pete Stills
said police have been catching a
number of intoxicated drivers in
Rolleston and the wider Selwyn
area in the past few weeks.
Drivers had been caught driving
at about 800 and 1000mcg/L
Services available:
• Welding, metal fabrication
• Engineering repair
• Farm, factory and site work

Well equipped workshop
Widely experienced, many years
of breath over the legal limit.
Senior Sergeant Stills said the
high alcohol readings blown by
drivers was really disappointing.
“We would rather not catch
anybody, we would rather get
the message out don’t drink and
drive,” he said.

last year and January nine
alcohol-related crashes were
recorded in the district.
Nine crashes were also recorded
in the district between
August and October this year.
The Christmas campaign will
be similar to previous years
with hotels and clubs throughout
Selwyn supporting it.
It encourages people to use
courtesy vans provided by hospitality
outlets and have a sober
driver organised.
Senior Sergeant Stills said it is
very important because people’s
lives are at stake.
Meanwhile, police are cracking
down on drivers not stopping
at stop signs again.
“We have been focusing on
Shands and Selwyn Rd again
because it has got bad there.
There is a high volume of traffic,”
Senior Sergeant Stills said.
He said while it is a problem
at all the intersections in Selwyn,
police are focusing on high
risk ones identified through
crash data.

THE HORORATA Highland
Games will be held on one
of the most important days
commemorated in modern
history – Armistice Day.
The games known as one of
the largest Scottish festivals
to take place in the Southern
Hemisphere will be held at the
Hororata Domain this Saturday.
Event manager Cindy Driscoll
said the Hororata Community
Trust felt strongly about acknowledging
Armistice Day.
She said a lot of people do not
know about its importance and
the games offer a good platform
for people to learn more about
it.
“In New Zealand we put a
lot of focus on Anzac Day and
the other significant events all
get wrapped into that,” Mrs
Driscoll said.
Armistice Day is commemorated
each year to mark the end
of World War 1.
After four years, the war came
to an end with the signing of
the armistice between Germany
and the Allied Powers on November
11, 1918.
On the eleventh hour of the
eleventh day of the eleventh
month, the guns fell silent.
The opening of the Hororata
Highland Games has been
brought forward with a remembrance
of the day to be held
before the chieftain’s welcoming
ceremony.
It is to be led by the Hororata-
Malvern branch of the Christchurch
RSA with a bugler playing
the Last Post.

Highland Games
The event was created in 2011
from the community’s desire to
take charge of its own future following
the devastation suffered
during the Canterbury earthquakes.

running of the event.
It attracts more than 500
competitors who will compete
in highland dancing, piping and
drumming, tug of war, highland
spin, small bore shooting, amateur
heavy athletics and the Oceania
heavyweight championship.
Mrs Driscoll said pre-sales for
the games are well up on previous
years, competition numbers are
at capacity and more than 200
volunteers will be involved.
A record crowd of 10,000 people
attended the games last year.
Mrs Driscoll said this event
would not be able to take place
without support from the community.
The Hororata Highland Games

it aims to
get councils
to use the
report as they put together
their long term plans.
He said it is about
breaking down the
geographical boundaries
between councils.
THe report provides a
snapshot of facilities in
Canterbury including Nga
Puna Wai Sports Hub,
Christchurch Adventure
Park and Metro Sports
Facility.
THe multi-court sports
facility has been in the
pipeline since the release
of the 2013 masterplan for
Foster Park.
An area has been set
aside on the Broadlands
Drive end of Foster Park,
near the Selwyn Aquatic
Centre, for the new facility.
THe district council is
in the process of working
through court numbers,
design options and
estimates of capital and
operational cost.
THe district council’s
major projects property
manager John Reid said
there is no doubt Selwyn is
a high priority area lacking
multi-courts.
A feasibility study has
been taken over the past 18
months to determine what
sports groups need and
what they would pay for
hireage.
“We want this to be
community-focused
as opposed to high
performance,” Mr Reid said.
Mr Reid said high
performance facilities
come at a large
cost because of the
specifications needed to
host international sports.
It is planned the Metro
Sports Facility will
fulfil this need for the
Canterbury region.
“THe thing I am pushing
hard with council is we get
the maximum number of
courts,” Mr Reid said.
While it is confirmed
the facility will be built by
the district council it is yet
to confirm how it will be
operated.

IN HIGH DEMAND: Happy Minds Counselling is planning to set up a charitable
trust to provide free mental health services for youth in Selwyn.
Free youth mental
health service plan
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
A SELWYN counselling practice is
planning to form a charitable trust to help
provide free mental health services for
youth in the district.
Happy Minds Counselling is in
the process of establishing a board of
representatives and funding for its new
trust, which will initially provide services
for youth.
The organisation’s owner and
counsellor, Matt Brown, said it
hopes to have its youth funding
secured by the end of this year.
“We have decided it is really
good if we could provide it for
nothing, that is the goal,” he
said.
It is applying to various
avenues of funding including
Government, community and
national funding.
The trust is to be known as the Brighter
Futures Charitable Trust.
It is planned people seeking the free
services would make an application to the
trust which would be considered by the
board.
But Mr Brown said it hopes to extend
its free mental health services to adults
within a year of its establishment.
It plans to have its application for
funding to support adults secured by
March-April.
The organisation currently subsidises
its counselling services for youth aged 13-
21 to $50 per session while adults are $80
per session.
The general rate for counselling sessions
is between $100-$120.
Mr Brown said the reason the cost is
high is because of resources, the lack of
employment roles available and the high
costs of becoming a counsellor.
Matt Brown
•HAVE YOUR SAY: What do you
think of mental health services
in Selwyn? Email your views to
georgia.oconnor@starmedia.kiwi
He said it is aiming for the board’s
trustees to represent a wide range of
people to help provide services for
different sectors in the community.
Mr Brown said anyone could get
involved – the trust eventually hopes to
provide a range of services including
supporting farmers, elderly, families
and the religious community.
“As long as you have a trust board
and trustees that are representatives
of your whole community, then you
can provide services for the whole
community,” he said.
On top of running Happy Minds,
Mr Brown counsels at Rolleston
College.
He said children will often go from
having counselling services wrapped
around them at school into the
community where there is a deficiency.
The counselling services he runs
outside of Rolleston College book up fast
and are attended by 70 per cent youth and
30 per cent adults.
Mr Brown said it is often the people
who cannot afford counselling services
who slip through the cracks.
While the new trust will initially cater
for Selwyn it will look to expand in the
future.
Mr Brown said there has always been
a huge cry for mental health services in
Selwyn and it was the reason he set up
Happy Minds.

The Maddie story
SELWYN TIMES
Pages 8, 9 & 10
Family’s long journey to give their
It has been nearly nine years since West Melton
teenager Maddie Collins was diagnosed with kidney
disease. Bridget Rutherford reports on the battle to
give the 13-year-old a better life before it is too late
IT WAS a normal day at the end
of October 2008 and the Collins
family was preparing to go
camping at Okains Bay.
But five-year-old Maddie woke
up that morning with puffy eyes.
Her parents Sarah and Adam
didn’t think anything of it.
They had just moved to West
Melton from Spreydon, wanting
a more rural lifestyle.
“We thought ‘great, we’ve just
moved rural and she’s allergic to
grass and hay’,” Mrs Manson-
Collins said.
UNWELL: Maddie Collins in
hospital as a child.
They took Maddie to their GP,
who said she may have something
called nephrotic syndrome
– a kidney disease which causes
the body to excrete too much
protein in urine.
“I just said ‘oh, don’t be silly,
just give us some antihistamines,
we’re going camping tomorrow’.
And he said ‘I’m very serious,
you need to take her to the hospital
now’.”
The family didn’t go camping.
And they haven’t been since.
Since then, the 13-year-old has
undergone more than 50 operations,
been on life support twice,
had both kidneys removed, one
failed transplant and undergoes
dialysis every night.
She has been in hospital more
than 300 times – the longest
stint was for four months – and
travels to Auckland’s Starship
Hospital routinely every seven or
eight weeks.
“I do dialysis 12 hours a night,
every night,” Maddie said.
“When we go away we don’t
typically take the machine, so we

do manual bags – four over the
day. It’s annoying because you
can’t have sleepovers, unless you
want to do manual bags, but I’m
not allowed to do it.”
Maddie’s parents and a family
friend are the only people who
can operate her dialysis machine.
They have two generators just in
case there is a power cut.
The first time Maddie was put
on life support was six months
after her diagnosis.
She had been on steroids and
low-dose chemotherapy drugs,
then one night, she woke with a
sore tummy and they took her to
hospital.

plucky daughter a better life
She had spontaneous bacterial
peritonitis, where all the fluid
around her organs had become
infected.
After a week in the high
dependency unit, Maddie was
transferred to the ward.
Things were looking up
and Mrs Manson-Collins was
sent home to get some sleep at
8.30pm.
At 11pm, the hospital rang to
say they had transferred Maddie
back to HDU, but said there was
nothing to worry about. Then, at
5.30am, the hospital called again.
“They said ‘Sarah get here now,
don’t get a coffee, don’t have a
shower, just get in the car and get
here now’.”
The infected fluid had
overflowed into Maddie’s lungs.
The five-year-old was gasping
for breath and transferred to the
intensive care unit where she
was put on life support. She was
transferred to Starship where she
stayed on life support for a week.
In spite of the set back,
the family and doctors were
optimistic they could save her
kidneys.
But in December 2009, Maddie
needed a port inserted in her
chest so medication could be
injected easily.
FAMILY: Maddie with her mum Sarah, older sister Georgia and dogs Mary and Jilly.

“I went into recovery to find
them resuscitating her,” Mrs
Manson-Collins said.
She was put back on life
support and her kidneys could
not be saved. Six months later,
six-year-old Maddie had her first
kidney removed.
They started the process of
getting on the organ donor list.
Both Mr Collins and Mrs
Manson-Collins were tested
to see if they were matches,
prompting another devastating
blow for the family 10 days out
from Christmas 2009.
Mrs Manson-Collins had to do
a routine mammogram as part
of the process, which discovered
she had breast cancer.
“I said to her ‘have you found
something’. And she said ‘did
you come by yourself?’ And I
said ‘did you find something?’
She said ‘yes, you’ve got cancer
and it’s really bad.’”
Within seven months,
Mrs Manson-Collins had a
mastectomy and chemotherapy,
and Mr Collins donated one of
his kidneys to Maddie.
“It was pretty rough on our
older two children – is mum
going to die this year from
cancer? Is my sister going to die
this year with renal failure?”
She said it was hard to juggle
treatments, but Maddie’s health
came first.
Although Mrs Manson-
Collins has been cleared of
cancer, she still has regular
oncology appointments.
At nine, Maddie finally started
school at St Margaret’s College.
But they began to see signs
that Maddie’s body was rejecting
her father’s kidney. She became
very unwell and they had to
remove it.

The Maddie story
•From page 9
Now, she is solely reliant on the
white dialysis machine that sits
next to her bed.
“There has been some really
scary moments where we think,
‘wow, is she going to come out of
it this time? Are we nearing the
end?’ We’re pretty open about
dying and death and Maddie’s
fully aware of those implications,
and that is a reality for us,” Mrs
Manson-Collins said.
Maddie said she did not like
to think about death. But sometimes
she had to.
When she first had her antibodies
tested, there was a two
per cent chance of matching
anyone in New Zealand.
“We realised we wanted more
for Maddie, we wanted life. Just
to sit here and wait for a kidney
is not okay for a child, dialysis
isn’t great for a child, it isn’t great
for an adult.”
They started looking for
alternative and visited The John
Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore,
United States, which has been
looking at new kinds of transplants.
But it will cost $750,000. They
have raised just under $300,000.
Maddie’s siblings Tomas, 21,
and Georgia, 19, do not match,
but they could take part in a
“paired exchange” where they
donate a kidney and Maddie can
get an American one.
Mrs Manson-Collins said they
were “blown away” with the support
they had received.
“As much as it’s about fundraising
for Maddie, it’s also
about raising awareness of a lack
of organ donation here in New
Zealand and what we can do to
improve that system.”
Maddie’s condition has taken a
toll on the family.
Mrs Manson-Collins gave up
her job as a logistics manager for
a national and international race

open about dying
and death and

implications, and
that is a reality

car team four months after Maddie’s
diagnosis.
Mr Collins was a race car
engineer for Toyota Racing
Series and Formula 5000, but has
stopped working.
“It’s got to the point now we’re
just both so exhausted because
it’s been going so long. It takes
two of us to keep on top of everything,”
Mrs Manson-Collins
said.
“Financially, it’s taken a huge
toll. Before Maddie was diagnosed,
we were both working, we
had a retirement fund and retirement
plans. That’s all gone now.”
She said Georgia, who works at
footwear retailer Hannahs while
she decides what to study, and
Tomas, an electrician apprentice,
had been “amazing” and were
very protective of their sister.
The family doesn’t have expectations
because it is too disappointing

of Southern Health School and
St Margaret’s teaching for the

She wants to become a vet and
has already been helping out at
her local clinic.
“We went to the vet to get my

in I thought ‘I really want to

I asked if I could come and work

so from then on it started.”
She is used to being around

Although riding may come
with some risks, her parents

“There are people out there
who are unfortunate to have this

Young directors making their mark
Fire rages, homes at risk
• By Julia Evans
WEST MELTON’S Nina Hogg
could soon be following in the
footsteps of Kiwi director Taika
Waititi.
While Waititi has been
smashing box offices records
with his new movie Thor:
Ragnarok, Nina and Simon
Brown have created the short
film A Perfect Child.
The St Margaret’s and Christ’s
college students won the award
for best senior fiction at the
Australian Teachers of Media
Awards in Melbourne.
It tells the story of Ava, played
by St Margaret’s student Tigerlily
Perry, a girl who has lost her parents
in a car crash and has been
sent to an orphanage.
She meets Madam Murphy
(Eilish Moran, of The Court
Theatre) who runs the establishment
in a disciplined and firm
manner. Ava soon befriends
Lauren (Alice Taylor, of St Margaret’s),
but finds out that things
are not what they seem at the
orphanage.
When Lauren suddenly turns
on her, Ava discovers a laboratory
full of clones which the
orphanage is trying to make into
perfect specimens so they can be
adopted more easily.
UP-AND-COMING: Students Simon Brown and Nina Hogg
collected the award for best senior short film in Melbourne.
Taking home an award didn’t
come easily.
The 18min film took a year to
produce from start to finish and
involved more than 65 students,
mentors and teachers.
Simon said the main challenge
came from the editing process.
A Perfect Child went up against
550 entries in the ATOM awards
from across Australia and New
Zealand.
“The prize-giving was very
nerve-racking, especially when
Nina and I had to go up on stage
to collect the award. We didn’t
realise that we were required to
give a short speech and had to
improvise but it was taken very
well, which was a relief,” Simon
said.
Nina said many students put
their life and soul into the film.
“I hope our two schools (St
Margaret’s and Christ’s) continue
this collaboration as a way
to foster interest in the film industry
and highlight the talent of
our friends and fellow students,”
she said.
The ATOM presentation
was hosted by Australian TV
presenter Walt Collins and was
followed by a screening of the
winning productions at the SAE
Institute, Melbourne. The awards

Explosion of colour from Rolleston
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
AN EXPLOSION of colour
could be seen across Rolleston
skies in celebration of Guy
Fawkes on Saturday.
The Rolleston Fireworks display
has been deemed a success
with more than 15,000 attending
the show.
It was the second year the
event had been held at Foster
Park instead of Rolleston Reserve.
The event cost about $70,000
to put on with $30,000 of fireworks
set off.
Rolleston fireworks organising
committee member Jens Christensen
said the event was touch
and go at one stage because of
the wind.
“It was absolutely howling
down for a while. Then when
the fireworks went off it was as
still as anything,” he said.
Mr Christensen said schools
and community groups running
fundraisers at the event were
happy with how the evening
went but it was too early to estimate
how much was raised.
Rolleston chief fire officer Nigel
Lilley said the weekend was
pretty quiet and people were
genuinely careful.
BRIGHT: The Rolleston Fireworks display has been deemed another success.

Making the most of Mandarin
A LINCOLN High School
student has taken part in
an international competition.
Year 12 student Taylin
Smith was in Kunming,
China, recently competing
in the 10th World Chinese
Speech Competitions.
It comes after she won
the National New Zealand
Chinese Bridge Speech
Competition earlier this
year with her prize being
a trip to China to compete
along with her teacher
Terina Yee.
The international competition
involves about 320
students and teachers from
96 countries.
Contestants are required
to sit a computer-written
test on aspects of China.
Other activities include
testing students on their
listening skills and having
to perform two short
speeches individually
before taking part in a talent
show.
The school’s head of
learning area, languages
and Selwyn cluster
co-ordinator Rachel Austin

Taylin was also asked to

She has also won a halfyear

Meanwhile, Lincoln
High School school has
been embracing Chinese

activities from noodle eating

The school recently celebrated
National Mandarin
Language Week.
Ms Austen said the
number of students learning
Mandarin in Selwyn
has increased dramatically
over the last couple of
years.
This in part has been due
to Asian Language Learning
in Schools, a Ministry
of Education Initiative.
The initiative is a $10
million fund set up by the
Government to increase
second language learning
for students across the
country.
Lincoln High and a

A reader responds to
Selwyn Times article
on issues the Darfield
population faces as it
continues to expand
Grant Prescott –My
main concern here is if the
district council decides to
implement such a system
how will they manage
payment. You surely cannot
include it as a straight
increase in rates across the
board as a lot of properties
would not get access
to the system outside of
the township. It would be
inappropriate for non-users
to be hit with the rate. We
have had a large number of
developers secure significant
profit over the years
and the district council
should have been charging
a cost to these developers
with a view to starting a
reticulated system which
would offset costs. Lack
of planning by the district
council seems to be the
problem.
A reader responds to
Selwyn Times’ article
on the district council’s
annual report for
the 2016/17 year
Will Janssen – Yes,
the report thus far sounds
good. Perhaps the district
council could open its
wallet and add some much
needed additions to the
Selwyn Aquatic Centre?
Namely a sauna room
and steam room. Both
Jellie Park Recreation and
Sports Centre and Pioneer
Stadium have these and
both are a 55km return
trip from central Rolleston.
Both venues are always
well- used so I’m sure the
same would occur here.
With all the sports fields
and activities in the area,
a place to assist the body
in healing and general relaxation
would benefit the
overall district.

Milligan takes two podiums
in opening Toyota 86 round
• By Gordon Findlater
PREBBLETON’S JACK Milligan
experienced a mixed bag of
results in the opening round of
the Toyota 86 Championship at
Pukekohe over the weekend.
Milligan, 21, will go into the
next round of the championship
in second after a win and a
podium finish in his three races.
“It’s a good start to the
championship. It’s a long
season so we’re happy to come
away in second and some good
championship points,” said
Milligan.
Fellow Prebbleton racer Jaden
Ransley was looking good in race
one when he moved into the lead
on lap 10 before dropping back to
second. He then made a mistake
through turn one and slid into
the outside wall.
Ransley finished seventh in
races two and three.
Milligan got his campaign off
to the perfect start in race one on
Saturday. The apprentice builder
was in third when he pulled off
a great passing manoeuvre to
take the lead in the space of one
corner.
“It happened pretty quickly.
The two guys in front of me
were battling and I could sense
something was going to happen,”
said Milligan.
He went on to win race one

ahead of Auckland’s Connor
Adam and Christchurch’s Tom
Alexander.
In race two, Mulligan started
from eighth on the grid but
moved up to third by turn two.
He moved to second and sat on
the tail of defending champion
Alexander for the remainder of
the race. In the final race of the
weekend, Milligan was in second
behind Alexander before he went
around the outside of the leader
at the end of the back straight.
However, Alexander held his
line and Milligan slid onto the
grass. Trying to regain the places
he had lost, Milligan slid wide
again in the same spot, re-joining
the race sideways and nudging
Michael Scott off the circuit.
He eventually finished the
race in eighth. Round two of the
championship will see Milligan
and Ransley head to Taupo in
early December.

FOR THE second year running,
Hororata club’s Dominic
Brettkelly was eliminated from
the New Zealand amateur
golf championship by the
tournament winner.
On Friday, Brettkelly, 17, went
into the 18th hole at Russley
one up in his round of 16 match
with championship favourite
and eventual winner, Daniel
Hillier, of Wellington.
On the 18th, Hillier chipped
in for an eagle, taking the match
to a playoff. He then claimed
victory with a birdie on the 19th
hole of the match.
“I knew I was a massive
underdog, but I didn’t feel any
pressure. I knew if I could get
under his skin and put some
pressure on then I’d be a decent
chance,” said Brettkelly.
On the first two days of the
championship, Brettkelly shot
rounds of 74 and 71 to be in a tie
for 18th, qualifying him for the
top 32 which progressed to the
match play elimination section
of the championship.
On Friday morning, he
defeated Harewood’s Scott

match which went 23 holes
before a winner was found. This

UNDER WAY: Runners in the half marathon event make their way
out of Leeston as the race starts.
HEAD OF FIELD: Oska Baynes won the 10km event, Samuel Wreford defended his title in the
half marathon and Sean Eustace came home in a time of 1hr 11mins 18secs to finish second.
Records fall at Selwyn Running Festival
• By Gordon Findlater
A NUMBER of records fell in
Leeston at the weekend as nearly
400 runners and walkers took
part in the Selwyn Running
Festival.
The event, now in its seventh
year, consisted of a half
marathon, 10km, 5km and kids
dash events.
The blistering sun and
high winds didn’t slow the
competition down, as records
fell in both the men’s and
women’s half marathon, as
well as the men’s and women’s
10km races. The festival
attracted a large number of
locals and some top runners
from around Canterbury
with the event doubling as
the Canterbury Athletics half
marathon championship.
“The pointy end of the race
is usually well represented by
those top runners. The event
also really connects with our
local runners, especially with
the shorter races and the kids
dash. It’s really great to have all
the local schools involved,” said
event organiser Michael Wilson.
The men’s half marathon
title was defended by Timaru’s
Samuel Wreford in a race record
time of 1hr 7min 50sec.
He finished ahead of Sean
Eustace and Lincoln’s Ieuan van
der Peet.
The race record in the women’s
half marathon was broken by
Christchurch’s Angela Whyte,
who finishing in a time of 1hr
24min 40sec.
Oska Baynes (30min
15sec), and Marisa Ruhter
(37min 33sec) won the men’s

Calling all 10-year olds!
Do you know a budding young entrepreneur who wants to give back
to their community and learn more about managing money?
We want to give 10-year olds a chance to deliver on their ideas by
seeding $10 into a project. They get to keep the profit they make
and Mayor Sam Broughton will match what they make (up to $100)
and donate it to a local charity.
If you know a 10-year old who would like to enter, they can
write their proposal of up to 100 words and email it to
10ten10@selwyn.govt.nz. Mayor Broughton will be choosing the 10
winning 10-year olds on Friday 10 November. They will receive the
$10 the following week and have until Friday 8 December to put
their project into action and try to make a profit.
Halloween
in Selwyn
Last week Selwyn facilities hosted some Halloween events for families to enjoy the spooky season.
Seventy children and their parents dressed up for the Halloween Disco at Lincoln Event Centre.
The children got involved in plenty of games including find the skeleton, limbo and wrap the
mummy. The disco was a safe opportunity for families to dress up and enjoy Halloween without
the hassle of going door knocking. Feedback was hugely positive with children saying ‘this is the
best disco ever’.
Halloween Spooktacular went down a treat at the Selwyn Aquatic Centre. Children arrived
dressed up in creepy Halloween costumes for photos and festivities before enjoying a party at
the pool afterwards. This was a fun, safe option for families to celebrate Halloween. The colouring
in competition and decorations made for an exciting week at the Aquatic Centre with plenty of
children getting involved.
Council marks 10 years in Rolleston headquarters
This month the Council marked the 10th anniversary of the opening of its Rolleston headquarters.
The building, on Norman Kirk Drive, was officially opened in September 2007 by then Governor-
General, Rt Hon Sir Anand Satyanand, with staff moving into the premises in November 2007.
The 3,000 square metre complex was designed by architect Ian Athfield and comprises four linked
blocks plus a Council chamber surrounded by ample carparking and landscaped grounds. Armitage
Williams Ltd was the main contractor for the project.
Council Chief Executive David Ward says it was a long journey to get to the new premises. When the
Council was formed in 1989, Selwyn was the only council in New Zealand that did not have the location
of its head office specified by the government.
“That meant that from 1989 to 2007 the Council occupied a series of buildings in Leeston, Hornby and
Darfield,” Mr Ward says. “As the district’s population started to grow, it became increasingly difficult for
residents to engage with the Council across two sites, and equally for staff to operate effectively over
the two locations.
“It was decided the logical solution was to relocate on to one site. Discussions started in January 2004
involving councillors, staff and the community, eventually settling on the Rolleston location.”
The building makes extensive use of natural timber and stone both inside and out, reflecting the
Selwyn landscape.
It features a number of environmental features that were innovative at the time, including thermal mass
flooring and exposed internal walls for temperature control, sensor-activated low-energy lighting,
absorbant ceiling to reduce noise, reflective roof surface and large overhang to reduce solar gain,
rainwater collected to supply toilet cisterns, and wide eaves to control glare from winter sun.
ON THE
ROADS
On the roads this week
Reseals will be carried out on Voss Road,
Osborns Road, Hodgens Road and Lincoln
Tai Tapu Road. Trimming of high shoulders will
be occurring at Ridge Road. Ford repair and
drainage works will be carried out on Flagpole
Road. Traffic controls will be operating.
Stabilised seal repairs are occurring on Springston Rolleston Road,
Shands Road, Dunns Crossing Road and Weedons Road. Digout
repairs will be carried out on Curve Road. Please stop on request at
these sites.
Footpath works will be occurring on Heathridge Place walkway and
Petticoat Lane, these footpaths will be closed during these works.
Kerb and channel works, footpath and kea crossing construction
will be occurring on Weedons Ross Road in West Melton. Traffic
delays and minor detours may be in place during the construction
period. Access to the local shopping centre, pre-school and primary
school will be available at all times. These works are expected to
last until early December.
Work has begun on the West Melton School kea crossing.
A number of Council staff who moved into the building in November 2007 are still working in the facility 10 years later, and some of
these gathered on site last week to mark the anniversary.
Pumpkin growing competition
The Selwyn Waihora Water Zone Committee and Mayor Sam
Broughton are wanting to generate discussion about the water and
nutrients required to make things grow. $500 is being offered to the
school which grows the largest pumpkin, and $500 to the school
whose student presents the best A3 poster about water and nutrient
management for growing the pumpkin.
Three pumpkins have been propagated for each school. The
posters will need to be completed in term one, 2018 and sent to us
by the end of the term for judging. To enter the pumpkin growing
competition please contact bernadette.ryan@selwyn.govt.nz to

A library of the future
What’s your future library and community centre
like? What do you want to do there?
All over the world, libraries are transforming from their
traditional focus on books and lending into community spaces
that provide resources, technology and activities to encourage
people to learn, participate and feel connected.
Today’s libraries are ‘community living rooms’ – busy and
dynamic places that are relevant to all sectors of society and
offer spaces to meet, exchange ideas, play, relax, create, be
entertained …
An indicative artist’s impression showing part of the future library and
community centre (at left) and town centre, as seen from Tennyson Street.
Rolleston Library & Community Centre
Ideas sought for new facility
Development of an exciting new library and
community facility for Rolleston and the wider
Selwyn district is set to start in 2018 – and the
Council is looking for ideas on how people might
want to use the new spaces.
The new Library and Community Centre is a key
project in the Rolleston town centre development,
and will be located on what is currently part of
Rolleston Reserve, near Tennyson Street.
The new facility will replace the existing library, which
is now too small for Rolleston’s growing population –
and will also provide a flexible, multi-use space for a
wide range of community purposes.
Selwyn Mayor Sam Broughton says community
spaces and libraries are changing. “We want
our new facility to be a place of learning, idea
sharing, culture and exploration.
“The new facility will include a library but will
be about more than just books. It will also offer
flexible multi-purpose spaces for activities and
exhibitions, performances, learning programmes
and music. We want our community to have a
place to meet, reflect and be entertained.
“We will design and build the facility on the basis
that it meets the needs of Selwyn residents so
this is your chance to tell us what you think. The
time to tell us is now.
Rolleston town centre master plan
A master plan for Rolleston town centre was adopted by the Council in 2014 after an extensive community
consultation and planning process.
The plan sets out a vision for a town centre that will be a vibrant and engaging destination for Rolleston,
Selwyn Central ward and the wider Selwyn district.
The Library and Community Centre will be the first building developed on the site, located on part of the
current Rolleston Reserve, and will set the standard for later elements including:
· reserve, open spaces and playgrounds
· town square and civic space
· indoor/outdoor dining and hospitality
“We’re encouraging people to do some timetravel,
if you like – and think about what a future
community space and library might be like, and
how they would use it,” Mayor Broughton
Ideas generated through this community
feedback will be used by the design team for
the facility, to develop spaces and concepts that
reflect innovation and opportunity.
Initial design
concepts for the
library and community
centre will be
prepared during the
first half of 2018, and
residents will have
further opportunities
to comment on
the options for the
facility as the project
develops.
The Council will be providing opportunities for
people to provide their ideas and feedback
through online surveys, as well as at community
events over the next month.
Selwyn District Libraries will also be seeking
ideas from existing library users, with two or three
sessions planned each week through November.
· retail and entertainment areas
· pedestrian-friendly streets and spaces
Since the plan was adopted, a number of steps have been completed to progress the development,
including roading projects such as the Tennyson/Kidman roundabout, the development of Foster Park,
adoption of the Land Use Recovery Plan designating the town centre as a key activity area, and the
statutory Reserve Exchange process to enable redevelopment of part of the existing reserve.
Alongside the library and community centre project, the Council is currently undertaking preliminary work
to identify opportunities for retail and hospitality areas, and bringing together a design team to oversee the

Leeston-Southbridge lead country cricket
Lincoln all
out for 39
LEESTON-Southbridge have
maintained their lead in the
Canterbury Country Cricket
one-day competition by
ruthlessly dispatching Lincoln on
Saturday.
The match at Lincoln Domain
was over in a few hours after
Lincoln were rolled for just
39 in the 22nd over. Leeston-
Southbridge then reached the
total with eight wickets in hand
in the 16th over.
Cameron Norton and Dougald
Munro were the main destroyers
for Leeston-Southbridge, bagging
three wickets each as Lincoln
gave away some soft dismissals.
The competition’s top runscorer,
Jeremy Benton, was out
to a low diving catch by Liam
O’Sullivan off the bowling of
Norton.
No Lincoln player scored more
than eight runs and their innings
included four ducks.
In the weekend’s other results,
Weedons demolished Darfield-
South Malvern by 161 runs at
Darfield Domain.
Batting first, the visitor’s
racked up 216/8 in their allotted
45 overs. Shanon Dunnett led the
way by smashing an unbeaten 47
off 36 balls.
Weedons’ opening pace bowler,
Sandeep Singh, ripped through
Darfield-South Malvern’s
batsmen, taking six wickets as
the home team capitulated to be
all out for 55 inside 17 overs.
Sefton captain Andrew Laffey
led his team to victory over
Southbrook at Sefton Domain.
Batting first, the Sefton Seals
were in trouble at 111/9.
But Laffey and Barry Cross
knuckled down to produce an
outstanding partnership which
took Sefton to 149 in the last
available over.
Laffey then turned the
screws with his left-arm spin as
Southbrook were strangled in
their run chase. Southbrook were
all out for 104 to lose by 45 runs.
Round five results:
•Sefton 149 (A Laffey 33,
T Harrison 31, B Cross 19no;

The Mockers return to Lincoln for festival
• By Julia Evans
SELWYN SOUNDS is going to
be a sort of homecoming for The
Mockers.
Lead singer Andrew Fagan
said it’s “quite humorous” thinking
about playing in the district
where the band’s career started.
The day-long music festival
at Lincoln Domain on March
3 follows this year’s inaugural
event, which saw the Jordan
Luck Band, Mi-Sex, Dragon and
various Kiwi heavyweights play
in front of a crowd of about 8000.
“The Mockers had some of
their first gigs at Lincoln University,”
Fagan said, fondly remembering
some of the “drunk
agricultural students” during
orientation weeks in the early
80s.
The band, which was based in
Wellington at the time, would
pile onto the Interislander ferry
with all kinds of musical equipment
in tow then get onto a train
bound for a night at Lincoln’s
“big, huge uni hall”.
“We did some really, really
long sets. We used to play the
same set three times in a row.
No one noticed – they were just
enjoying the live music and were
probably too drunk.”
But he said they wouldn’t be
playing the same set three times
in a row in March.
“It’ll still be riotous.”
Touring small towns holds a
special place in Fagan’s heart.
He said, looking back now, he
never appreciated it as much as
he should have.
“I really miss that kind of
thing. As a band, we did so much
touring. Over and over and over.
There weren’t a lot of bands
doing that extensive amount of
touring to small towns,” Fagan
said.
FESTIVAL: The Mockers
played many of their early
gigs at Lincoln University in
the 1980s and will return for
Selwyn Sounds on March 3 at
the Lincoln Domain.
From playing in tiny Blenheim
pubs to a massive, empty Gore
hall, no town was left out.
“It was even better when we
started to become reasonably
popular and people knew the
material before we started playing,”
he said.
He’s looking forward to recreating
that in Lincoln with The
Mockers original 1985 line-up of
Brett Adams, Geoff Hayden and
Tim Wedde.
“It’ll be great playing with a lot
of other bands from that period,”
he said. This year’s nine-act bill
will include Jimmy Barnes, Stellar
and The Feelers.
“I can’t wait to see if Barnsey
can still hold those long, high
notes in Working Class Man.”
In the meantime, Fagan, who
is now based in Auckland, is
working on material with his
other band Fagan and the People,
which he’ll be recording at
the end of the year.

On the 21st of November, twenty five highland
dancers from the Julie Hawke School of Dance &
Lynette Mitchell School of Dance in Dunedin, will
travel to France to perform at The International
Gathering of Highland Dance at Disneyland Paris.
Now in its seventh year, The International
Gathering of Scottish Highland Dance has grown
into a world renowned event, with over 1000
visitors over the four days each year.
The dancers will meet up with highland dancers
from all around the world to compete in a 4 day
competition, showcasing their highland dance
skills on the international stage and also joining
their fellow dancers in the Special Main Street
Parade throughout Disneyland.
This fantastic opportunity is being offered to Julie
and Lynette’s students as both teachers believe
that competing on the world stage will give
their dance students an amazing, unforgetable
experience and will help develop their dancing
even further.
The entire tour group including parents,
grandparents and the dancers themselves have
undertaken several fundraising projects over
the last 12 months to raise the required fund to
provide each dancer with flights, accommodation,
team tracksuits, stage costumes and a named
‘Carry on bag” for each dancer. The group have
also secured wonderful sponsorship and from
many businesses and would like to thank them
immensely for their support.
Both teachers, with the help of Lana Donaldson,
Nadine Terry & Ruby Wills have really enjoyed
the challenge of choreographing many ‘Disney
themed’ solo’s, duo’s & group dances,with the
added challenge of many rules covering theme of
music and time restrictions. The dancers can’t wait
to perform ‘Moana’. This dance is a combination of
traditional Highland steps and also incorporates
traditional Maori dance. This dance will be a
superb performance to showcase our NZ heritage
brilliantly.

Cultural values explained
SELWYN FARMERS have taken
the chance to find out more
about their new responsibilities
around mahinga kai and how
those may affect their farming
practices.
Environment Canterbury
held the second of two on-farm
“shed talks” recently, on a Dunsandel
dairy farm, to explain
how provisions in the Selwyn Te
Waihora Water Plan to protect
traditional Ngāi Tahu food
sources and cultural values will
affect them.
The shed talks were held on
properties where farmers have
already undertaken significant
work to protect waterways and
good management practice is
minimising environmental
impacts.
Contract milker Brendon
Glassford said the previous
owners of his farm planted most
of the length of the stream that
flows through the farm.
“We want to be compliant, we
don’t want to wreck the Selwyn
River (Waikirikiri). We have to
look after the land – you want
to leave it better than when you
took over,” he said.
The shed talks were lead by
Environment Canterbury cultural
land management adviser
Mananui Ramsden.
He believes most farmers, like
LEARNING CULTURE: Environment Canterbury cultural land
management adviser Mananui Ramsden.
Ngāi Tahu, embrace their role
as guardians of the resources on
their land.
“People think Environment
Canterbury have a stick and we
swing it, but really, the Selwyn-
Waihora zone delivery team,
we work with you. We’re here to
help you get your heads around
the funding, potential restoration
projects and to help with
these land use consents,” Mr
Ramsden said.
“You can never say it’s too
hard because you’ve always got
support,” Mr Glassford said.
He said there is ECan,
DairyNZ and others to call on to
help out if unsure about the environment
and the regulations.
More shed talks are likely to
be held in the New Year to help
bring more farmers up to speed
with mahinga kai.

Reducing nitrogen
through genetics
MAKING IMPROVEMENTS: Leeston dairy farmer
John Tanner is working on reducing nitrogen output
on his farm.
LEESTON DAIRY farmer
John Tanner has been
working hard to improve
sustainability on his farm,
Dunlac Dairies Ltd.
The farm is located in the
Selwyn Waihora catchment
and is 20km from Lake
Ellesmere/Te Waihora,
which is considered one
of New Zealand’s most
important wetland areas.
On either side of the
catchment are the Rakaia
River and the Selwyn River.
“In Canterbury we have
to lessen our nitrogen
footprint on the farm,” Mr
Tanner said.
He milks 730 dairy cows
during the peak of the
season on 260ha.
“In our catchment, we
farm on environmentally
sensitive land,” he said.
Mr Tanner is one of
many farmers turning to
genetic solutions to help
him farm well.
In recent years Lake
Ellesmere/Te Waihora has
been plagued by water
quality issues related to
intensive farming practices.
Nitrogen leached from
farms on the Canterbury
Plains will eventually make
its way into the lake therefore
farm activities in the
catchment are regulated by
Environment Canterbury,
with set nitrogen limits per
farm.
The Canterbury Water
Management Strategy,
introduced in 2012, aims to
rejuvenate and restore the
ecosystem of the Selwyn
Waihora catchment.
It requires dairy farms
in the catchment to reduce
their property’s nitrogen
limits by 30 per cent by
2022.
Mr Tanner is making
an effort to reduce Dunlac
Dairies’ environment
impact, and has made
significant improvements
with water management
and fertiliser usage.
The farm was a finalist
in the Dairy Business of
the Year 2016, and Tanner
takes pride in doing his bit
for the environment.
However, like many
farmers in the region, he is
feeling the pressure.
“We are trying to milk at
our current numbers, but
lessen our nitrogen footprint.
So you are trying to
do the same, but with less
environmental impact,” Mr
Tanner said.
He believes science will
offer a solution for farmers.
When he heard about
CRV Ambreed’s genetic
discovery, and its LowN
Sires bull team, Mr Tanner
was very interested,
purchasing more than 200
straws.
In March, CRV Ambreed
announced a genetic
discovery, thought to be a
world-first, which could
reduce nitrogen leaching
on New Zealand farms by
20 per cent within 20 years.
CRV Ambreed identified
and selected bulls genetically
superior for a new
trait related to the amount
of urea nitrogen in milk.
Farmers are now able to
breed cows using straws of
semen from CRV Ambreed’s
LowN Sires, and
those daughters will have
reduced concentration of
milk urea nitrogen.
Cows bred for lower
levels of MUN are expected
to excrete less nitrogen in
their urine which will, in
turn, reduce the amount
of nitrogen leached from
grazed pasture.
This could potentially
save New Zealand 10 million
kg in nitrogen leaching
a year, based on the
national herd number of
6.5 million dairy cattle.
“When CRV Ambreed
came up with their LowN
bulls, we thought ‘we’ll
have a go.’”
“We have 730 cows and if
we can lessen the nitrogen
from the herd by 20 per
cent, then that makes a big
dent,” Mr Tanner said.
He is interested to see
how his herd’s genetics will
improve over time.
“I know it’s going to take
a few years, but if it’s something
that does improve
nitrogen leaching from my
cows, I will probably buy
more straws in the future,”
he said.
Tanner was also pleased
with the other traits.
“We wanted the best in
genetics, and CRV offered
that,” Mr Tanner said.
Canterbury regional
councillor John Sunckell
was also a big fan of CRV
Ambreed’s LowN Sires
programme.
Mr Sunckell is a thirdgeneration
farmer from
Leeston.
“Technology and information
is vital; that’s why
I’m so excited about (CRV
Ambreed R&D scientist)
Phil Beatson’s work and
CRV’s work,” said Mr
Sunckell.
Mr Sunckell said dairy
farmers in his catchment
are required to reduce their
nitrogen loss by 30 “which
equates to getting rid of
every third cow.”

Casual Summer Dressing
The sun is out at last and with the warmer
weather comes the inevitable
question – what shall i wear?
There is plenty of casual everyday
wear on offer now and no one does
it better than the Australian label Elm.
They offer well made, well priced, stylish
casual wear and their fit is relaxed and
on the generous side, so Elm is a great
label to start with.
We have pictured the Elm Harmonise cotton blend
long cardigan in stunning block colours ($149.95).
This is an easy casual garment to throw on over
jeans or the new 7/8th pants length which is
prevalent this season. This length of pant has
come into vogue over the ¾ length as it is
more flattering to most women giving the legs
a more streamlined silhouette.
Also by Elm are the ever popular Amalfi pants
in navy & white stripes ($79.95).
These pants are ultra comfy and look great
when worn with a tee shirt, styley flats and a
denim jacket.
A must have in the wardrobe for those hotter
summer’s days is the Elm Poolside Trapeze
top ($89.95). This is fun, bright and cool. We
need to be more like European women who
are not self conscious about their arms!
Ketz Ke is a fab New Zealand label which
also does casual extremely well. We have
pictured the Ketz Ke Envy top in tangerine print
($125) – which is also available in cobalt. This is a
pretty and flattering style to wear with jeans, skirts
or pants of any length.
We have a great range of casual shoes to
team up with all of your summer wardrobe and have
photographed a selection here.

The life of a monarch
Mike Bowie is
an ecologist
who
specialises in

other invertebrates).
Each week he
introduces a new
species found in his

His column aims to
raise public awareness
of biodiversity, the

THE LARGEST and arguably
the most well-known butterfly in
New Zealand is the monarch
(sanaus plexippus).
The monarch
arrived in New
Zealand around
1873, having migrated
across the
Pacific from North
America via islands
along the way.
The longest insect migration
record of 3432km
is held by a female which
flew from Canada to Mexico,
travelling 120km per day.
It is the only butterfly in the
world known to undertake a
return migration, even though it
may take several generations to
do so.
However, in New Zealand,
monarchs don’t migrate or travel
so far, but like their overseas relatives,
they hibernate over winter
in large groups.
In Christchurch, monarchs
overwinter in tall trees at several
sites including Abberley Park,
Centennial Park, St James
Park, the Pioneer
Recreation and
Sports Centre
playground, Linwood Cemetery,
Redwood Park, Woodham Park
and Bishopdale Park.
Overwintering is triggered
when air temperature drops
below 13 deg C for two days. In
spring, eggs are laid on milkweeds,
including the swan plant,
and take four to 10 days to hatch.
Larva take between nine and
20 days to pupation and adults
emerge from pupae 10 to 28 days
later.
Male monarchs have a
black spot (scent gland) on
each of their hind wings
and have thinner veins
than females.
GROW: The
monarch butterfly
goes through a
life cycle of four
different stages.
First there is the
egg, then the larvae
or caterpillar (left),
the pupa or chrysalis
(above), and finally the
adult butterfly.

From Thursday 9 November Airways New Zealand, the Board of
Airline Representatives New Zealand (BARNZ), Christchurch Airport and
New Southern Sky will run a 12-month flight paths trial, which will involve
approximately 25% of arrivals (landings) into Christchurch.
The trial will gather data to be used in the progressive upgrade from
procedures based on radars to a network guided by satellites.
The new navigation procedures are more accurate and allow for shorter,
more direct routes, as well as more efficient take-offs and landings.
Collectively, they reduce fuel burn, airport and airspace congestion, aircraft
emissions and noise impacts on communities.

Day at The
Pedal Pusher
Cup Day is almost upon us.
If heading to the track, a good
place to start is at The Pedal
Pusher. Enjoy a Champagne
breakfast then hop on their
organised shuttle to their
sister bar and restaurant in
Addington where you can
enjoy a tipple, before a short
stroll to the course.
For those not spending
the day at Addington, catch
the big race on the screens
at The Pedal Pusher, sharing
the excitement with others
while enjoying a refreshing
beverage. Get a group
together to watch the race,
lingering over food to share or a meal.
There are delicious choices on The Pedal
Pusher’s new summer menu.
Experience their mussel and smoked hoki
fritter served with water cress and aioli as
a small plate. For a main, a new feature is
their lamb salad created from lamb shoulder
that has braised for 12 hours. This is served
on toasted flat bread and comes with olives,
tomatoes, cucumber and feta mixed with
mint and yoghurt dressing. Another new
dish is the pan fried Salmon Nicoise - fresh
Akaroa salmon served with new seasoned
potatoes, green beans, tomatoes, kalamata
olives, boiled egg and rocket pesto. Both
dishes are gluten free. There are also fun yet
healthy children’s menu choices.
For a sweet treat, The Pedal Pusher’s
famous orange infused Brulee augmented
with orange and mint salad,
blood orange sorbet and
meringues will offer a little
devilment. Alternatively, try
a dessert cocktail such as the
Jaffalicious – a mix of Baileys,
Cointreau, Frangelico and
White Creme de Cacao.
“This cocktail tastes just like
Jaffas, taking you back to your
childhood,” says Madlen who
with husband Wayne Shaw,
own and operate The Pedal
Pusher restaurants and bars in
Rolleston and Addington.
You will find fresh daily
baking options (including
gluten free) so call by for their
coffee and huge muffin or scone deal, for just
$7.
The Pedal Pusher recently joined Uber
Eats. You can now order their delicious
food to be delivered to your door, simply by
downloading the app.
If stuck for Christmas present ideas, this is
easily sorted with a gift voucher for The Pedal
Pusher; order via their website.
This extremely well designed bar and
restaurant has areas for small or large groups,
televisions for watching
sport, and a children’s corner
with toys and their very own
television programmes. Call
by on Sundays between 3pm
and 6pm and you can relax
while listening to live music,
providing a great way to end
the weekend.

Question:
Is now a good time to plant Tomatoes?
November is a great time
Answer: to plant tomatoes outside,
as the weather is more
settled now. Prepare the ground 2 to 3 weeks before
planting. Dig in good compost and remove any
weeds. While you are there, check that the soil is
not too dry. The best site to grow tomatoes is one
that has plenty of sun, shelter from cold winds,
and access to a good water supply (but has good
drainage too). Tomatoes are gross feeders, meaning
they will need a lot of nutrients through the growing
season. At planting time, incorporate fertilisers such
as Intelligro Tomato Fertiliser or Nitrophoska. Hold
on to the fertiliser, you will need this through the
season.
Place the supporting stakes in the ground before planting, and tie the stems to the
stakes. Once rapid growth has started they must not get stressed so need to have
regular watering and be tied to the stake to keep the stems straight. Laterals must be
removed as soon as they are able to be handled to encourage flower development.

Three travel prize draws for early
entries in dairy industry awards
Entries in the 2018 New Zealand Share
Farmer of the Year, Dairy Manager of
the Year and Dairy Trainee of the Year
competitions are now being accepted
online at www.dairyindustryawards.co.nz.
Entries close on November 30.
All those that enter before midnight on
November 9 will go into the *Early Bird
Entry Prize Draw and be in with a chance
to win a share of $9000 in travel vouchers.
One travel voucher will be given to an
early entrant in each competition. There are
three prize draws in total.
“We think the Early Bird Entry Prize
Draw of travel vouchers are one way we can
help dairy farmers take a break and have
some fun,” awards general manager Chris
Keeping says.
“Rural mental health has been in the
spotlight lately, and this early bird travel
prize acknowledges that farming is a 24/7
career. It is so important to take time away
from the farm, to take some downtime and
have a holiday. Many farmers use the time
to enjoy family, and plan future personal
and business goals.”
The prize draw for early entrants in the
Share Farmer category is valued at $4000,
while it is worth $3000 for those eligible in
the Dairy Manager category and $2000 for
eligible Dairy Trainee entrants.
Mrs Keeping says it is pleasing to see the
number of people who have already entered
the 2018 awards programme, which aims
to assist people to progress in their dairy
farming career and promotes excellence
within the industry.
The New Zealand Dairy Industry
Awards are supported by national sponsors
Westpac, DairyNZ, DeLaval, Ecolab,
Federated Farmers, Fonterra Farm Source,
Honda Motorcycles, LIC, Meridian Energy,
and Ravensdown, along with industry
partner Primary ITO.
More information on the three
competitions can be found at www.
dairyindustryawards.co.nz.
*To be eligible for the Early Bird Entry Prize Draw,
entrants must enter by midnight on November 9 and
complete the judging process for the competition entered.
The winners will be drawn from eligible entrants on
March 20, 2018 and notified by phone and online at
www.dairyindustryawards.co.nz on March 21, 2018.

into action the things that really matter to
us by partnering with our milk suppliers
to use best practice to look after animals,
protect the environment and care for
people on farm. Of course it also focuses
on food safety and the quality of the milk
our suppliers produce,” Synlait’s managing
director and CEO John Penno says.
Lead With PrideTM has been run by
Synlait for five years and ensures milk
suppliers meet prescribed requirements for
environment, milk quality, animal health
and welfare, and social responsibility.
This approval means that Environment
Canterbury has confidence in the systems
being run on Synlait’s certified Lead With
PrideTM farms.
As a result, these farms are less likely to
face additional compliance inspections
by Environment Canterbury as they meet
auditing standards through Lead With
PrideTM.
Environment Canterbury is the regional
council responsible for a wide variety
of functions, including environmental
monitoring, regional biosecurity, and the
issuing of permits and consents.
“This is fantastic news for Synlait as it
shows Environment Canterbury recognises
the integrity of our programme and the
high standards we have for our certified
Lead With PrideTM milk suppliers,” says
Mr Penno.
“We set a high benchmark five years ago
and we’re beginning to see the industry
recognise that we are well ahead of the
game.”
Environment Canterbury chief executive,
Bill Bayfield, says this is the first time
an independent party has had such an
agreement with a regional council.
“We’re really pleased to have this
approval in place with Synlait. By working
in partnership in this way there will be
better outcomes for farmers and for water
quality in the region.”
To get the approval, Synlait had to submit
an application and supporting evidence to
prove that milk suppliers certified under
the Lead With PrideTM programme have
sufficient control of their operation so
that additional farm audits are no longer
required.
Synlait currently has 50 Lead With
PrideTM milk suppliers, and it is expected
this will grow to more than a third of
Synlait’s supply base by the end of the
financial year.

DARFIELD
New Zealand’s countryside
showcased in new exhibition
Two New Zealand artists feature in the
latest exhibition at Selwyn Gallery – Charles
Pickworth and Simon Kramer.
Pickworth was born in Dunedin, New
Zealand, and brought up in Central Otago,
and later in Oamaru. He contracted polio at
the age of four and lost the use of one arm.
In addition, he suffers from asthma and has
worked at a variety of jobs. Through his 35
years of painting Pickworth has come to
realise that this is what he wants to do most
of all. He is a self-taught artist and paints
full time.
He prefers painting plein-air and travels
frequently searching out new subjects,
specialising nowadays in South Island
scenes. He paints mostly in oils, occasionally
in acrylics, and has the knack of capturing
the mood and wonderful range of colours
in South Island scenery. He has a bright
and enthusiastic nature and enjoys sharing
his love of painting with established and
budding artists.
Kramer is a professional artist, who
started painting in 1985. He is a veteran
of outdoor painting and has painted
hundreds of locations in the New Zealand
countryside. He is proficient in any painting
medium and produces works for sale in
oils, watercolour, and acrylics. He also runs
a boutique framing business and lectures
on art through classes and workshops.
About his own work, Kramer says: “As
an outdoor artist I see the beauty of God’s
creation and realise anything I do is inspired
by his ideas. He is the original artist, and
my inspiration. I know the value he has
placed in every one of us, and believe the
human spirit is the only sacred thing on
earth today.
“I find our influence on nature and each
other fascinating, and sometimes heartbreaking.
I have included some of our
everyday endeavours in this body of work.
I hope it inspires you to believe in the good
of people and consider God’s ideas as he
intended them.”
Selwyn Gallery, 17 South Terrace, is
open daily (except Mondays) from 10am to
4pm for the duration of this show. A show
programme is available from the gallery.

Spacious ECE centre offers
excellent care & education
“Home away from Home” is part
of the philosophy of the West Melton
Kindergarten, Nursery and Learning
Centre, where a respectful, fun, learning
environment is provided for children. There
is a balance between routine, structure and
children’s free play.
The attractive purpose-built centre caters
for children three months to six years in
four separate sections – the Nursery for
under twos, Kindy for two and three yearolds,
the Learning Centre for children
approximately three and three-quarters to
six years old, and a Before and After School
Programme for West Melton Primary
school children.
All the permanent teachers are qualified,
registered ECE teachers, who are passionate
about working with children and their
families. The centre received an excellent
ERO report.
Primary caregiving by key teachers
ensures nursery children develop strong,
secure relationships giving them the
confidence to explore the environment and
develop their independence. Throughout
the centre, key teachers plan for individual
children’s interests and needs. Teachers
nurture and support each child as they
travel on their learning path.
The large, expansive grass and barked
outdoor environment has enough space
to encourage small group play and
provides areas where children can use
their imagination with a range of openended
equipment to adapt the area to suit
– rockets, planes, etc. while still allowing
space for a mini game of rugby for the All
Black fans.
A separate bike track, under trees, keeps
the bikes away from the main play areas.
The indoor areas are spacious, well laid
out and resourced. Children are supported
in the dispositions of exploration, problem
solving, negotiating, persisting, caring and
respecting in a fun learning environment.
20 hours ECE is available for children
aged three and over.
The Before School Programme opens
at 7.30am and the children are escorted
to school at 8.30am. The After School
Programme runs from 3pm-5.45pm.
During that time afternoon tea is provided
and children receive support with their
homework.
Parents and caregivers are welcome to
visit at any time and look around the centre.
West Melton Kindergarten, Nursery and
Learning Centre is located at 739 Weedons
Ross Road, West Melton. Open 7.30am to
5.45 pm. Monday to Friday.

A fresh approach to physio
A young team with a fresh approach is
providing a different type of physiotherapy
treatment at PhysioSteps in West Melton.
As physiotherapist Caitlin Clark explains,
it is treatment for the whole patient,
treating the source of the injury, not just
the symptoms.
“This means that we fix the injury at
its source, to prevent you from returning
again with the same injury. We do this by
completing a thorough assessment, fully
explaining the injury and then make a
plan with the patient as to how it will be
managed and how long it will take.
“We emphasise self-management, with
physiotherapy guidance, ensuring the
injury improves as quickly and as well as
possible.”
Research has shown the effectiveness of an
exercise-based approach to physiotherapy
treatment, Caitlin says, helping patients be
fully engaged in their rehab process and
speeding up recovery.
In their purpose-built clinic in Weedons
Ross Road, the physiotherapists Kayla
Marshall, Caitlin Clark and Shaun Clark
provide treatment for musculoskeletal
(muscles and joints) injuries, sports
injuries, as well as pain management and
occupational health/ergonomics advice.
They are HDANZ accredited and
contracted to ACC, which means they
are audited and comply with the national
standards set out for physiotherapy.
PhysioSteps are located at 10/736
Weedons Ross Road, West Melton,
phone (03) 930 1119. Opening hours
are Monday and Thursday 9am-8pm,
Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, 9am-

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.
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 ask to see listings for properties similar
to yours that have sold in the past six months.
Check out comparable listings yourself in the
real estate section of your newspaper or on
websites. Then decide whether you want a
quick, easy sale or the highest possible price.
CLEAN & DECLUTTER Weed out excess
furniture, knicknacks, and “stuff”—toss it, donate
it, give it away, sell it at a yard sale, or put it into
storage—so the house seems more spacious
and buyers can imagine themselves in it.
STAY VIGILIANT ABOUT MAINTENANCE
From the moment you start showing your house,
keep the lawn mowed, shrubs trimmed, gardens
weeded, rooms spotless and clutter-free.
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
Sunny free-flowing living
Likely, the largest of its kind in New Zealand,
Faringdon’s new show home village is attracting
considerable interest and Today Homes’ two new show
homes have already received many visitors.
Today Homes chose to showcase two extremely
well-liked designs. These afford the opportunity to see
and feel how each would work, as well as picture how
changes could be made to suit specific needs.
“The Burnham show home is one of our most
popular designs,” says Dean McLeod, General Manager
for Today Homes.
“This home offers ease of living with free-flowing
areas, indoor/outdoor access to sun soaked courtyards
and three-car garaging, something that is proving a
necessity for many families who need flexible options
for car and content storage. As one of our extensive
line-up of house designs, the Burnham’s popularity is
due in part to how easy it is to site on many sections for
optimum sun, as well as to its adaptability to particular
client needs.”
This three-bedroom 209m2 home is equally ideal
whether a family or a couple, especially those wanting
three-car garaging with room for bikes and toys, or a
third vehicle. The design also lends itself to a two car
garage or four-bedroom option.
There is a spacious feel in the open plan living of this
home. A separate formal lounge runs off to one side of
the living, accessed through double open-top French
doors that allow light while being perfect for increasing
living space when entertaining or to enjoy the internal
sound speaker system.
The galley style designer kitchen is well appointed
with island sink and seating, a generous walk-in pantry
and Bosch appliances.
Excellent indoor/outdoor flow from living areas and
master bedroom capitalise on sun throughout the day,
while in the master bedroom clever design ensures a
capacious ensuite, walk-in robe and sliders to the sunny
courtyard.
Both the second and third bedrooms have double
wardrobes, the latter ideally placed for use as a guest
bedroom or office if working from home. There is also
added storage with two generously sized hall cupboards
and a place for brooms in the cylinder cupboard.
This is a particularly attractive house. Its two street
facing gables and vertical cedar boarding add a touch
of class, complementing the pristine white brick and
mortar. The flat faced aluminium joinery is an upgraded
suite giving cleaner lines for an appealing look
while their size and large openings assure a light fresh
home.
The Burnham show home while highly specified is
typical of Today Homes’ standard specifications. It has
a fully insulated garage, garage carpet, gib coving with
round corners, Methven tap ware, LED lighting and a
house alarm.
Today Home’s Faringdon Burnham show home
illustrates what can be achieved on a 600 m2 section
with plenty of sunny outdoor living space for all to
enjoy, as well as off-street parking space.
Located at 576 East Maddisons Road,
this show home is open seven days a
week from 12noon until 4pm.
