Glentunnel teen Manaia
Davies is off to San

GLENTUNNEL teenager
Manaia Davies is off to San
Diego next month in a team of
22 dancers representing New
Zealand in an international
competition.

From Glentunnel to San Diego
The 13-year-old was asked to
be in the team by Kiwi choreographer,
Kiel Tutin, who has
worked with stars such as Jennifer
Lopez.
Manaia, who has been dancing
since she was three-yearsold,
says she was “shocked” by
the invitation and is looking
forward to competing in Body
Rock Junior.
She’s been travelling to
Auckland each weekend for
practice.
“It’s really hard-out, it’s full
hands-on training and we
run the set over, over and over
again,” she said.
The Burnside High
School student spends most
of her spare time training or
teaching.

$40k to fix
council
homes
damaged
by meth
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
DISTRICT council-owned
houses in Darfield have had
to be decontaminated from
methampetamine before they can
be sold.
The three dwellings are part of a
portfolio of houses and a section in
Ritso St the council is dispersing.
It has cost just over $40,000 to
decontaminate the properties.
Insurance has met about $30,000
of the bill, the district council the
rest.
The houses are on the market
for between $300,000 to $355,000.
Former mayor Bill Woods says
he is concerned that money from
the sales will not go back into
Malvern community.
In the early 2000s Mr Woods
and late district councillor Paul
Stewart was involved in putting a
case forward that if the properties
were sold the money had to go
back into the community.
“In fairness, the money gained
from the sale of these properties
must be returned to the area from
where it was collected,” he said.
The district council’s property
and commercial manager Douglas
Marshall said yesterday the
sale proceeds will be credited to
council district funds.

WEEDONS AND Templeton residents
are facing a near mission impossible
and expensive task if the experience of
people in Yaldhurst is anything to go by
(see page 3).
A quarry will be built as close as 100m
from residential properties in Yaldhurst, in spite of medical
authorities saying it’s not a good idea.
Yaldhurst residents are going to appeal the decision to the
Environment Court. But the legal costs will be huge. They are
unlikely to get any change out of $100k.
Next cab of the rank is Fulton Hogan’s plan to quarry in the
Templeton-Weedons area. But, if the Yaldhurst experience is
anything to go, the need for materials for our roads outweighs
residents’ health.
Strange that.

Residents prepare for legal battle over quarry
• By Anan Zaki
WEEDONS AND Templeton
residents are prepared for a long
fight, should Fulton Hogan’s
planned quarry in their area be
given the green light.
It comes as Yaldhurst residents
will this week lodge an appeal and
prepare for a costly court battle
to challenge a decision to allow
quarry expansion in the area.
Templeton Residents’ Association
chairman Garry Kilday said
if Fulton Hogan’s plans for a
resource consent application is
granted, the association would
also consider taking legal action.
“We’ll take whatever action we
can. We may not be the only ones
that are considering this.
“It’s wrong and there will be
lawyers and I believe someone will
sue these people,” Mr Kilday said.
The only deterrent in taking
legal action was the cost, he said.
He believed the residents could
win the Resource Management
Act process, when the company
lodges an application.
“However, the problem we have
is that if we win the RMA and
their application is turned down,
they will go to the Environment
Court, which will also cost us,”
Mr Kilday said.
But the residents would do
whatever they can work together
to protect their habitat, he said.
“We’re fighting for our way of
life here, we’re fighting for the
healthiness and the cleanliness of
our environment.
“That’s why ECan is here in the
first place, to protect us from this
sort of thing.”
Fulton Hogan has faced resistance
from Templeton residents
after it put forward a plan for a
170ha quarry on Dawsons, Curraghs
and Jones Rds in January.
ECan is yet to receive a resource
consent application from
Fulton Hogan.
The company announced in
April that it would not lodge
an application before July and
is awaiting for the results of the
Yaldhurst air quality monitoring
programme, which was expected
to be released by ECan in July.
•An article last week headlined
‘Fears Yaldhurst decision sets a
precedent’ incorrectly stated that
Road Metals was given permission
to increase the size of its
Yaldhurst quarry by Environment
Canterbury. The decision to grant
the consent was made by an independent
hearing panel appointed
by the city council and ECan.

District’s fuel prices reach record high
Consumers
warned cost of
food could rise
• By Julia Evans
UNITED STATES president
Donald Trump is being blamed
for the record high price of petrol
in the district..
Some service stations were
charging $2.29.9 a litre for
91-octane petrol, the record high
which was reached last week,
while others are charging slightly
less at $2.25.9.
Infometrics economist Brad
Olsen said the
main reason
was President
Trump’s recent
dealings
in Iran.
“The main
driver is the
Brad Olsen
overseas price.
West Texas
Intermediate
crude oil has shot up over the last
couple of days and that’s largely
because Trump and Iran has
shaken up the playing field,” Mr
Olsen said.
President Trump announced
recently that the US was walking
away from the Iran nuclear deal
organised between Russia, the
United Kingdom, France, China
and the US in 2015.
The Selwyn Times tweeted
President Trump for reaction. He
did not respond.
Fuel prices around the country
hit record highs last week. There
were reports of stations on
Waiheke Island charging $2.51 a
litre and $2.45 in Wanaka.
In Auckland, prices were
between $2.07 and $2.17 a
litre.
Mr Olsen said Canterbury was
hit harder than Auckland due to
the “Gull-effect,” caused by the
introduction of the low priced
Gull petrol stations in 2013.
He said there was also a lack of
competition between stations in
Canterbury.
And relief is not in sight.
“We can’t really pick when
they’ll go back down or if they’ll
go back down . . . it will be interesting
to see how prices change
and regional discrepancies,” Mr
Olsen said.
There have been calls for the
Government to address the issue.
Minister of Energy and
Resources Megan Woods said
it is “very concerning” that
Cantabrians are paying so much
for petrol and it was clear the
market is “not functioning as it
should be.”
“Obviously international
events and the declining New
Zealand dollar will have some
role to play, but our focus is that
people are paying a fair price,”
she said.
Dr Woods said the law is being
changed to give the Commerce

HUNTER
Commission the power to conduct
market studies and compel
the release of evidence to work
out why petrol south of Wellington
was much higher.
Mr Olsen said it would
have the biggest impact on
lower income families, who
would have to change their
budgets drastically or change
the way they travel.
Red Bus chief executive Paul
McNoe said it had not noticed
an immediate increase in patronage.
“But it is possible. The further
it goes up and the longer it stays
that high. It depends on people’s
preference and their tolerance
for prices. We’re always happy
to welcome new customers,” he
said.
New Zealand Taxi Federation
Canterbury president Stan Gane
said the industry was “massively”
impacted, but was not considering
putting prices up.
“We’ve changed most of the
fleet in Christchurch to hybrid
and are keeping prices as low as
we possibly can, but every cent
that fuel goes up is less wages
and less groceries for staff,” he
said.
Mr Olsen said consumers
could also expect to feel the
brunt of petrol prices as freight
companies would raise prices for
retailers, who would likely pass it
on to customers.
“Largely we’ll see it in food
prices. It will be interesting to
see how much retailers put it up
because consumers are going to
get pretty annoyed with having
to pay more for fuel as well as
goods.”
GOING AWAY THIS QUEEN’S BIRTHDAY WEEKEND?
For those of you heading off for a break this long weekend please take
the time to check real-time travel information before you head off and
be prepared for increased traffic volumes.
Drivers have two options for travel in the Upper
South Island between Picton and Christchurch.
• SH1 via Kaikōura is now open 24/7 but
construction is ongoing (north and south)
with delays and some single lanes.
• The alternate Picton to Christchurch route
via the Lewis Pass is open 24/7 (but check
before travel as winter conditions may cause
the Lewis Pass to be closed temporarily).
Both routes will be busy so whichever one you
choose the NZ Transport Agency advises you
allow plenty of time for your trip, especially
if you are catching a ferry or are on a tight
schedule.
The NZ Transport Agency encourages
everyone heading off for a break to ‘know before
you go’ and check the holiday hotspots map:
www.nzta.govt.nz/hotspots. The map collates
data from previous Queen’s Birthday Weekend
journeys and advises on the best time to leave to
avoid the rush.
With the change in season it is also time to
prepare for winter driving to stay safe:
• Take the time to check your vehicle is in
good condition – tyres/spare tyre, indicators,
windshield wipers, lights
• Be prepared by travelling with warm clothes,
food, water and a fully charged cell phone
• A flat battery is the most common cause
of winter breakdowns. If it’s more than
five years old it may struggle in the cold.
Get it checked and replaced if necessary
• Keep at least a quarter of a tank of fuel in
case of any unexpected delays
Drivers need to be patient, cautious and
courteous. Take your time and be prepared
for the unexpected.
And remember, over holiday periods many
drivers are on unfamiliar roads, so please
be patient as we are all in this situation at
some stage.
HOW TO STAY UP TO DATE:
• Plan your journey between Picton and
Christchurch and get real-time information
via www.nzta.govt.nz/p2c or call
0800 4 HIGHWAYS (0800 44 44 49).
We recommend checking at least two hours
before you travel and while on your trip
• Check the MetService weather forecast
before you head away

Joanne
McDonald
• By Emily O’Connell
WINTER CLOTHING, dinners
out, family trips – the pinch at
the pump is causing residents
in the district to tighten their
budgets and make sacrifices.
On Friday, Selwyn Times visited
Rolleston to see how people
were affected.
Rolleston resident Tracey
McLay has recently moved from
Papanui and is noticing the difference.
“To get to and from work, to
drop kids off and sports – it’s
getting very expensive . . . it’s sort
of cutting down in other areas,”
she said.
When asked whether she has
noticed the hike in the price of
petrol, Maxine Freemantle just
said it was “ridiculous.”
“I’ve got a young daughter and
Katherine Johnson with
son, Oliver.
James Wallis
Martin
Thomas Maher
we need fuel to get to work and
that, and she has to miss out
. . . we can’t go and buy her new
things like warm winter gear,
we’ve got to wait for a couple
more weeks to save up,” she said.
Thomas Maher works in
Rolleston but lives in Kaiapoi
and says the price hike has restricted
what he can do.
“Really damaging to my budget
especially. I’ve got to cut down
in other areas such as food . . . for
now all I’ve been able to do is go
to and from work,” he said.
For Burwood resident James
Wallis Martin, the drive into
Rolleston each week day to drop
his daughter at Waitaha School is
having an effect.
“Every day taking my daughter
to school costs me an extra $10
Maxine
Freemantle
Tracey McLay
Motorists feel the fuel price pain
. . . it just means we don’t buy
things, we don’t go out to dinner.
We’ve had to be cautious
already,” he said.
Mr Wallis Martin thinks there
should be a subsidy on electric
vehicles so more people can
“upgrade.”
Rolleston resident Katherine
Johnson said she usually takes
her children to Margaret Mahy
Family Playground on the weekend
but it’s just “not doable at the
moment.”
Joanne McDonald lives in
Burnham and says the hike is
“terrible.”
“I think it’s actually quite sad
it’s going up . . . what can you do
about?” she said.
Miss McDonald said the
increase means costs have to be
cut.
How to save money on fuel
•Make sure your tyres are
inflated correctly. The
Automobile Association
found incorrect tyre
pressure uses nearly eight
per cent more fuel.
•Avoid rush hour. Turning
your engine off if you’re stuck
in traffic for longer than
30 seconds is better than
keeping the car running
according to the AA, and
the Motor Trade Association
recommends planning
ahead to run errands during
off-peak times.
•Don’t speed. According to
the MTA, fuel consumption
increases by about six per
cent for every 10km/h faster
you travel over 90km/h.
•Keep your load light.
The more weight in your
car means more petrol is
needed to propel it.
•Use your air conditioner,
but only when necessary.
Opening your windows to
cool the car down is actually
less fuel efficient than using
the A/C because it creates
drag. However, blasting
the A/C or leaving the back
window demister on after
they’ve done their job is an
unnecessary drain on fuel.
•Take care of your
car. Regular service
could reduce your fuel
consumption by up to 20
per cent

Skate park back on track
THE REDESIGNED Lincoln
Domain Skate Park is expected to
be completed by the end of next
month.
Initially, it was due to open in
late April but the district council
decided to make it safer after
residents shared concerns.
The skate park is designed to
predominantly cater for children
and amateur skaters.
The district council chose
experienced skate park designer
Dave North to review the incomplete
skate park and make it
more suitable.
“The changes that we’ve made
to the skate park design will ensure
flow. A small learners bowl
will lead on to an intermediate
bowl,” Mr North said.
The main design changes includes
forming the existing bowl

But the district council has
agreed to acknowledge the value
that the Darfield community
had invested as part of a land
exchange proposal.
In the early 2000s, the district
council proposed a reserve
exchange to enable the reserve
into a mini-bowl, swapping the
stairs for a large hubba ramp and
rail, constructing a new 1200cm
deep bowl, a ditch-style banked
area and smaller flat ledges and
rail.

Call for performing arts facility
• By Emily O’Connell
CENTRESTAGE Rolleston
wants a local performing arts
facility to be included in the
Long Term Plan.
CentreStage’s president Phil
Dean spoke at the district
council’s LTP public hearing last
week about the idea.
The group, which formed earlier
this year, believe the district,
particularly Rolleston, needs a
space for the arts.
Mr Dean,
who is the
Ashburton
sub-area commander,
said
in his written
submission
that compared
Phil Dean
to sports, “performing
arts
is the poor
cousin.”
He said although there are
“some pretty amazing providers,”
what the area doesn’t have
is somewhere for people to
rehearse or perform in large
groups.
Mr Dean believes there is
scope in the new sporting facility
at Foster Park for performing
arts.
“Space like a dance studio,
rehearsal rooms, performance
areas will meet the increasing
demands of the performing arts
community,” he said.
District councillor Craig
Watson said it is “probably too
early to say” whether a performing
arts space could go in Foster
Park.
“I think we are working on
a town centre precinct at the
moment and obviously that has
a cultural aspect to it, so that’s
probably where it naturally lies,”
he said.
Cr Watson said CentreStage is
“fantastic” for how it brings likeminded
people together.
Mr Dean said the group
needs a “disproportionate”
amount of funding because
performing arts in Rolleston is
in a “fledgling” state compared
with sport which already has
facilities.
Cr Watson said it’s vital the
district council provides an opportunity
for performing arts
but it needs to make sure it’s
sustainable.
PROPOSAL:
CentreStage
Rolleston
believes the
area needs a
performing arts
facility included
in the district
council’s Long
Term Plan.
“I think for Selwyn it’s really
important that we have performing
arts well supported and
catered for,” he said.
The district council is
holding its deliberations today
and tomorrow and expects to
formally adopt the plan in late
June.

Old fire station demolished
Commissioned by
THE WEST Melton Volunteer
Rural Fire Force will be
moving into its new station
next month.
Its original station, built
about 53 years ago, was demolished
last week.
The new building, which is
more than three times bigger,
is almost complete with work
on the forecourt still being
carried out.
West Melton deputy chief
fire officer Chris Caldwell said
prior to the commencement
of Fire and Emergency New
Zealand last year, it had always
been funded and managed by
the district council.
“It was decided a few years
ago we needed a new station.
We acquired a second truck
and a ute and had nowhere to
put them,” he said.
Mr Caldwell said the old station
had a lot of problems and
the district council agreed to
fund a new station.
“Before the build started,
the FENZ merger occurred.
Selwyn agreed to give the
money they were going to
spend on it to FENZ to keep
the project going,” he said.
Construction started in
mid-January and Mr Caldwell
said the new station will be
able to store four vehicles.
“The training room is large
and together with a decent
kitchen and office and equipment
store, it could be multiuse,”
he said.
Mr Caldwell said their are

currently 16 crew but the
building has locker space for
up to 24 volunteers.
“At the moment that is sufficient
for the two trucks and we
are not taking on anyone else,
however, we are always keen to
put people on a waiting list if
they contact us,” he said.
The Selwyn District Council would like to thank all of

Year 13 student Joe Williams
wants to do some good during
his social studies trip to the
Pacific Island in July.
During the 10-day trip, 21
Lincoln High School students
will be helping out at the
children’s home, House of Hope,
in Apia.
As part of the social studies
class, each student will set
themselves a personal social
action. Joe wants to collect and
donate about 50 football shirts
for the children and teach them
some ball skills.
His mother, Jane Williams,
says he’s a keen footballer and
plays for both the school and
Halswell United’s top side
which plays in the Canterbury
Championship League.
•Joe is looking for
individual football shirts,
any size, from English and

Getting people
moving
aim of class
ROLLESTON Community Centre’s
Move it to Music class is getting
residents in the district off the
couch.
The class, run by an experienced
tutor, uses music, fun equipment
and a sense of humour to get attendees
moving. It’s aimed at those with
arthritis or the less active who want
to ‘use it not lose it.’
Kathleen Johnston, a visitor to the
district who attends the sessions,
has had two hip replacements and a
back operation and says the class is
a great opportunity to exercise without
too much strain on her joints.
“This class encouraged me to
get off the couch and get my body
moving following my operations,”
she said.
Instructor Jan McKay has been
running similar classes for nearly 20
years and says she enjoys seeing the
benefits that they have for attendees,
both physically and socially.
“The class allows them to get their
bodies moving in a safe environment,”
she said.
The Move it to Music class is held
on Wednesdays from 1.15–2.15pm
at the Rolleston Community Centre,
and costs $3 per session. No bookings
required.
•For more information phone
the centre on 347 2882 or ask
at the counter.
Chance for a visit to Gansu
A SELWYN resident or
someone who works locally,
has the chance to visit Gansu
in north-west China as
applications to travel to the
district’s sister city are now
open.
Each year the district council’s
Selwyn sister city committee
sends a local representative
to Gansu for a month-long
exchange.
This year the exchange, which
has the opportunity to join
delegates from about 20 different
countries, will go from
September 1 to 30 in Lanzhou,
the capital of Gansu.
This fellowship is funded by
the Gansu Provincial People’s
Government of China.
Past fellows have come from
backgrounds in agriculture, exporting
and local government.
Last year’s fellow, Phillip Millar,
said the experience was a
great opportunity to learn more
about the region of Gansu and
to see some amazing sights.
“A highlight for me was
definitely exploring the City
of Lanzhou which runs along
the beautiful Yellow River and
visiting the rainbow coloured
mountains in Zhangye Danxia
National Geological Park.
I also loved visiting the

Crescent Lake and sand dunes
in Dunhuang. I had never seen
anything like these amazing
landforms before, and my
appreciation for the beautiful
landscapes of China was increased
markedly,” he said.
Gansu Province is on the Silk
Rd and close to the Gobi Desert.
It is the Chinese Province in
which New Zealander Rewi Alley
established schools.
Mr Alley was born in Springfield
and this connection is a
key part of the sister city relationship
between Selwyn and
Shandan.
The Gansu Fellowship is
open to anyone aged between
22 and 50 who lives or works
in the district – and is ready to
embrace an exciting challenge
and opportunity for personal
growth.

The Selwyn Gallery marks
their 20th Anniversary
The Selwyn Gallery, Darfield is marking the
20th anniversary of its opening on Friday,
1 June 2018 with its exhibition, “The Revisit”.
Philip Baldwin, Malvern Community Arts
Council Chairperson commented: “We are
thrilled that six artists who showed their works
in 1998 at the first Selwyn Gallery exhibition—
Simon Edwards, Mike Glover, Svetlana Orinko,
Marcia Scott, Pattison Parkin, and Hamish
Wright—have agreed to exhibit an all-new lineup
of art work for the Gallery’s June exhibition”.
Simon Edwards’ paintings possess an
atmosphere of gentle melancholy. He says,
“The landscape has been the source of my
work…I use this as a departure point…setting
up a dialogue between myself, the medium
and the landscape”. Although his works seem
to represent actual places, they are more
often than not “imaginative” scenes built from
fragments of memory or a part of a landscape,
even a photograph.
Mike Glover works predominantly in pastel,
exploring the lands, skies, and waters of the
South Island. “Looking down on a river winding
through the hills or a spectacular sunset…there
is a sense of awe of peace and of harmony
with nature,” is how he describes his work.
Mike is active in the community art scene,
having helped to establish Down by the Liffey
Gallery in Lincoln.
Svetlana Orinko was able to begin her
painting career in earnest after immigrating
to New Zealand in 1992. She paints in oil
and watercolour, and is attracted to subject
matter with strong abstract patterns. Svetlana
describes her style as contemporary realism,
and has enjoyed much success as an artist.
She has a growing reputation as one of the
country’s top watercolour artists and teacher.
Patterson Parkin’s distinct style show
different viewpoints at the same time, within
the same space, suggesting their threedimensional
form and creating the illusion of
depth. Working in bright colours and patterns
heighten the diverse subject matter he depicts,
including landscapes, nudes, musicians, and
abstracts. He has also transitioned into wall
assemblage, consisting of canvas covered
shapes, both textured and painted.
Marcia Scott’s medium of choice is usually
acrylic, although she has moved from paper
to canvas in recent years. Marcia also dabbles
in watercolours and oils, and she loves the
challenge of developing ideas with new media,
including laser-cut timber panels as canvases,
a range of “dust collector” decorative blocks,
and the supreme hat award in the 2013 New
Zealand Hat and Hair Art Awards.
Hamish Wright’s travels in the Ukraine
in 1998–99 and in Kiev during 2003—2004
continue to influence his artistic style. His work
explores iconography and propaganda of the
Soviet Union, particularly commemorative
badges, posters, and other Space Age
memorabilia, creating works that are visually
appealing and full of fun. Using bold colour,
well defined forms, and a high level of surface
finish suggest Pop Art and nostalgia.
“We hope all of our supporters will visit the
Selwyn Gallery during the month of June to see
how the styles of these artists have evolved
over the past 20 years”, Mr Baldwin concluded.
Selwyn Gallery is open daily (except
Mondays) from 10am to 4pm. Please come
along and enjoy the variety of works on display.
A catalogue is available for each exhibition.

on the buses each day.
In total, we moved over 550
people over the course of the
trial.
This data will be presented to
Environment Canterbury next
month by a small group of youth
councillors.
This trial showed a clear and
urgent need for transportation
through our more rural areas
and showed a strong indication
of isolation – not only in youth,
but older generations also.
By running this service,
residents were also able to have
greater access to council facilities.
The use of the bus was different
for everyone – for some, a swim
at the Selwyn Aquatic Centre,
but for others, taking in the
beautiful rural views of our district
made for a day well spent.
The youth council is now moving
on to its latest project, Boost
2018.
This is looking to be a week of
activities and workshops for the
teenagers in our district.
The Youth Council is looking
forward to running some workshops
of its own.
We are currently working on
logos and what the timetable will
look like, but it is sure to be a fun
and exciting event taking place
towards the end of this year.
We also have plans to run
more ‘What do YOUth Think?’
events throughout the year, so
that we can find out more about
what young people need and
want in Selwyn.
We are also working on more
ways to find out what young
people think, one of which is a
Selwyn youth residents’ survey.
This is still in the works, but
the youth council is excited to
work together to champion the
voice of the youth in our district.
Our Facebook page is @
SelwynYouthCouncil which is a
great place to get in touch with
us, share your feedback, or just to
see what we’re up to.

clash over increasing bus

Graham Pownceby – Is
there anything helpful at all that
ECan does? It would appear
they are working for farmers
and industry and screwing everyone
else (us) over something
shocking . . . almost like reverse

screw us.
Trevor Taylor – Cant come
from rates . . . they are too high
already . . . you want a service
you pay for it.
Barry Clarke – If they want
more people on buses they have
got a cheek putting the fares up.
Perhaps they have to find the
money to give the CEO a big
increase in his pay packet.
Tiffany Burke – Good, glad
to hear it.

Move it
to music
Rolleston Community Centre’s Move it to Music class is getting Selwyn residents off the couch.
The class, run by an experienced tutor, uses music, fun equipment and a sense of humour to get
attendees moving. It’s aimed at those with arthritis or the less active who want to ‘use it not lose it’.
Along with all of the physical benefits, the sessions create a social environment where many
friendships are made. The class is followed by a coffee, biscuits and catch up.
Kathleen Johnston, a visitor to Selwyn who attends the sessions, has had two hip replacements
and a back operation and says the class is a great opportunity to exercise without too much strain
on her joints.
“This class encouraged me to get off the couch and get my body moving following my
operations,” she says.
“It has allowed me to be much more mobile, however the best part of coming along is the
friendships I have made within the class.”
Instructor Jan McKay has been running similar classes for nearly 20 years and says she enjoys
seeing the benefits that they have for attendees, both physically and socially.
“We get people coming along with a range of different health and mobility issues. The class allows
them to get their bodies moving in a safe, accepting environment,” she says.
“We focus on balance, stretching and increasing movement and mobility in joints.
“The classes are always full of fun and laughs. I encourage everyone to sing along to the music
with me.”
The Move it to Music class is held on Wednesdays from 1.15–2.15pm at the Rolleston Community
Centre, and costs $3 per session. No bookings required.
For more information phone the Centre on 347 2882 or ask at the counter.

More flow for Lincoln Skate Park
Younger skaters and scooter riders will enjoy the flow of the redesigned
Lincoln Domain Skate Park – which will allow them to
use the whole skate park easily, going from one feature to the next
without stopping.
Experienced skate park designer Dave North reviewed the
incomplete skate park for the Council to make it more suitable for
beginner to intermediate skaters and scooter riders. The park was
expected to be completed earlier this year, however Council staff
decided to tweak the skate park design as it was deemed to be
unsuitable for younger people.
“The changes that we’ve made to the skate park design will ensure
flow. A small learners bowl will lead on to an intermediate bowl which
will have lots of different carve lines as well as air and transfer lines,”
Mr North says. “The street features will include both large and small
hubba, ledges and rails. Everything will be set up to allow skaters and
scooter riders to rapidly progress and learn,” Mr North says.
Changes to the skate park’s design were also influenced by
discussions with local skaters and skate park designers.
Council Property and Commercial manager, Douglas Marshall, says
he is pleased with the new design and expects the new skate park
to be completed by the end of June, depending on weather.
“We have made the skate park a bit bigger and with Dave’s help,
we’ve ensured the park achieves its initial goal of being a quality
facility where young skaters and scooter riders can learn and have
fun,” Mr Marshall says. “We understand that locals have had to
be really patient while we get the skate park right, however we’re
confident that the new design hits the mark.”
The Lincoln Reserve Playground is now closed and will be relocated
to the other side of the pedestrian path to provide more room to
extend the skate park. The playground is expected to be reopened
in June.
The main design changes include:
· Forming the existing bowl into a mini bowl which is more
suitable for younger/learner skater and scooter riders
· Swapping the stairs for a large hubba ramp and rail
· Constructing a new 1200cm deep bowl, a ditch-style banked
area and smaller flat ledges and rail
· The existing quarter pipe will remain

SELWYN TIMES
Steven Moe
Raising the curtains on community
Rolleston’s Steven Moe
has spent more than
a year working to turn
his idea of creating a
community cinema into
a reality. Emily O’Connell
asked him why he
decided to undertake the
project and how it will
benefit the area
Can you tell me about the
project?
Basically, I’ve got four young
children and they’re all preteenage
age, and when I look at
Selwyn, there’s not that much infrastructure
for things for teenagers
and for young people to
do. So about a year ago, I started
talking with friends in the community
about this idea of setting
up a cinema, which would actually
be a social enterprise. Which
means the profits go back into
the community rather than just
being about creating dividends
for shareholders. So the desire
behind it is really to have a place
where young people can come;
they can have community; they
can watch movies, but then the
profits go back into the community
itself and back into the
young people who are actually
watching the films.
Where would the money
actually go?
The idea right now, and it’s
still being finalised, is that there
would be a charitable trust. And
the charitable trust would own
most of the shares in the operating
company which would run
the cinema. We haven’t worked
out the percentages yet that the
charitable trust would have. It
would give money to other charities,
so groups that are working
with young people in education
or outdoor activities or other
things.
Why did you choose a
cinema?
I was just looking at the landscape
of what we’ve got and what
we don’t have yet.
IDEA: Steven Moe with his children Shanna, Ayala and Isabel at Rolleston Reserve where he
plans to build a cinema with the majority of profits going back into the community.
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER
When will this happen?
So I had this idea, right? I
didn’t know that the district
council itself had in mind that it
was going to be building a cinema.
So originally I was thinking
it was going to take millions
of dollars to actually build the
building, and actually it would
be very difficult to do if you had
to do that. But in fact, in the new
Rolleston town square, which is
going to go in right behind New
World, they’ve actually allocated
a space for a cinema. So the
council itself is going to be funding
the building of the infrastructure,
which is fantastic. I’ve
met with the council and they’ve
said we will be working for an
operator of the cinema. So if we
could come in as a community
and give them an alternative,
which is, not only will we run
the cinema in a commercially viable
way, we will actually use the
best proportions of the profits to
go back into the building up of
our community itself.
Would some of the profits not
go to the charitable trust?
Basically the council will be
building the structure but they
won’t be putting in the projection
equipment, the seating, the
carpet, all the bits that make a
cinema, a cinema. There’s going
to be a cost involved to do that.
So at present, the only way I can
think to get that sort of funding
is to get out and appeal to private
investors to also be putting in
some proportion. It’s early days,
but the idea is that they would
own a proportion of the cinema
so they could draw on some of
the profits as well. Most of it
would go back into the charity,
but we would need to have some
kick-start funding to pay. We’re
estimating about $750,000 would
be the cost to get the equipment
and set up.
What made you do this?
In my profession, I actually
work as a lawyer, so I wrote a
book about social enterprises last
year. And in talking with people
about this new way of doing
things – the idea of combining
profit and purpose – it just made
me realise that actually I was
living in a community where
we could actually put this into
practice, rather than it just being
a theoretical thing. And because
I’ve got the background and
experience of helping others
with their ideas, why couldn’t
we do it ourselves? So I’ve kickstarted
the idea but some more
members of the community are
welcome to get involved and it
would require a huge variety
of backgrounds and resources
from accountants to social media
people to designers. It’s not just
going to be one person; it’s going
to require a community effort.
Do you visit the cinema
much?
So we go when we can. The
reality is with young children it
involves getting a babysitter in
and often the cost is as much to
pay to the babysitter as it was to
go to the movies. But yes, love
the movies, and I just think
they’re a great way to tell stories.
What is your favourite movie?
It’s a movie called My Neighbor
Totoro and it’s actually a children’s
movie which came out in
Japan, I think it was in the late
1980s. But it touches on themes
which are deeper than the children
watching would realise.
How long have you been a
lawyer for?
I qualified in 2001. So it’s quite
a while really. The other thing is
I have an accent, but I actually
went to Canterbury University
and so Canterbury’s always been
home for me. But I have lived
overseas. I lived in Toyko for four
years, I lived in London for three
years, and I lived in Sydney for
four years.
All the time working as a
lawyer, so kind of bringing skills
back that I gained in that overseas
experience. I’ve been back in
New Zealand for two and a half
years.
What made you want to go
overseas?
I think just experiencing other
cultures and seeing what else
is out there. It’s a typical OE
experience. I met my wife, Ellie,
she’s from England, and we were
going to go for two years and it
became 11 years. One of those
stories, you know? But we had
a fascinating time. We loved
Japan – the food, the culture, an
amazing place. And England,
you can travel and see all parts
of Europe very easily. So that was
wonderful.

And then as we were deciding
to come back to New Zealand,
we thought we would try Sydney,
and a year there became four
years. And we enjoyed it but we
thought where do we want to be
when we retire? Let’s get back
to the country where we want
to build our networks and build
our community and actually
feed in and help the community
to grow.
Have you always wanted to be
a lawyer?
I started studying when I was
18 . . . I didn’t have a dream as a
child to be a lawyer, but it certainly
has been something that
helps to unlock doors and opens
up opportunities to do a diverse
range of things.
Tell me about your children?
Shanna’s 10-years-old,
Ayala’s eight-years-old, Isabel’s
six-years-old and Isaac is threeyears-old.
So pretty young. Isaac
goes to a pre-school in Rolleston
and the other three are at Rolleston
School. So we’re very much
committed to Rolleston and the
Selwyn community.
What are your hobbies?
One of the key things that
I love doing is interviewing
people. So I have a podcast
where I publish stories of inspiring
people that I’ve met and
they’re deeper than just a 5min
conversation, they go for 45min
to an hour. So that podcast is
called Seeds. As well as that I love
family history – so researching
family history and understanding
where I’m from and how we
fit together.
What’s the most interesting
thing you’ve learnt from looking
up your family history?
I think each of us have limited
time with our lives, and the
thing that I’ve found encouraging
looking at my ancestors is to
think about how I’m using my
time, how I’m using my life, and
what role I’m playing.
Where did you grow up?
I actually grew up in Christchurch.
My parents immigrated
from North America and we
TOP PICK: Steven Moe’s favourite movie is My Neighbor Totoro,
a Japanese children’s film which touches on some deep themes.
moved here in 1983. So we first
moved down to Oamaru and
then to Christchurch in 1989.
How were you when you
moved to New Zealand?
I was seven.
Can you tell me about the
book Social Enterprises in New
Zealand, which you wrote?
My role when I was overseas is
I acted for banks and large corporates
who had huge amounts
of money. And when I would
call the client – I would say
congratulations the deal’s done,
then basically, what’s the colour
of your next Lamborghini? Now
I deal with clients and their
questions and I call them and say
we’ve set up a charitable trust or
we’ve got your business off the
ground, you can now go out and
hope to benefit the community
through your social enterprise.
So there’s a real mindset shift
there. I realised that what was
lacking for people was information.
So my intention with
the book was to pull together
resources that tell you how to set
up a social enterprise, explain
what they are, explain the options
of companies v trusts and
other different models.
Do you plan on writing another
book?
I think I will. I will definitely
do a second edition of this one.

AN INSECT species which has
been obvious in my backyard
over the last summer is the
green vegetable bug, Nezara
viridula.
Sometimes called stink or
shield bug, this exotic pest
first arrived in New Plymouth
in 1944 and has spread to the
warmer parts of New Zealand.
Adults are 12-14mm in length,
usually green, but can be yellow/
orange or brown in the nymphal
stages.
They have a line of three white
spots about a third of the distance
down their body.
Like other true bugs, they have
a piercing and sucking mouthpart
under its head which it
uses to extract plant juices from
many hosts including beans,
tomatoes, corn, silverbeet,
pumpkin, cauliflower, cabbage,
marrow, turnips, rhubarb, kale
and grapes, to name a few.
Adult females lay rafts of
40-60 eggs under leaves under
leaves. Cylindrical eggs 1.3mm
long hatch after 10-20 days and
nymphs emerge.
Colours differ from adults,
ranging from black to orange,
with patches of cream, yellow,
green and red.
The green vegetable bug has
two parasitoid wasp natural enemies
in New Zealand; one that
controls eggs, while the other
wasp attacks nymphs.

SELWYN TIMES

The legacy of Maori settlers remains
THE SELWYN District has seen
a surge of migration into the
district in recent times, but the
very first migrants came to the
area over 700 years ago.
The history of our local
tangata-whenua (people of the
land) started as a combination of
oral myths and legends passed
from generation to generation
and it was not until European
colonisation that their history
was written.
The first permanent Maori
settlement in the area was at
Taumutu, where Te Waihora/
Lake Ellesmere is opened out to
the sea at the southern end of
Kaitorete Spit.
Over the centuries there were
a series of tribal migrations from
the North Island to the South,
with the first recorded seasonal
settlement being established
by the Waitaha tribe in the late
1400s.
However, Waitaha tradition
and archaeological evidence
suggests that there was similar
transient settlement much earlier
than this.
Ngati Mamoe were the next
tribe to frequent the area in
the late 1500s, but it was Te
Rakitamau of the Ngai Tahu iwi
who built the first permanent pa,
Te-pa-o-ikamutu, at Taumutu in
the early 1700s.
Historian and district council staff member Wayne
Stack continues his monthly look at Selwyn’s past.
Anyone with suggestions for future features can
phone Wayne on 021 119 9107. This month’s feature
covers the early history of Taumutu and Maori.
SIGNIFICANT: The Hon Hori Kerei Taiaroa with his wife and
grandchildren at his home, Awhitu House, in the late 1890s.
The lake provided a bountiful
year-round food supply, such as
eels and flounder, with the close
proximity to the sea making it
easier for travelling up and down
the coastline.
Being so close to the sea also
had some drawbacks.
Our Great
history
WITH WAYNE STACK
Sea erosion has totally destroyed
the site of the original
village and the location was
exposed to coastal attacks from
other tribes.
Sometime later, Ngai Tahu
chief, Te Ruahikihiki, moved
from Akaroa Harbour and built
a new pa, Orariki, on higher
ground behind the beach at
Taumutu.
This pa was easier to defend
as it was surrounded by swamps
and enclosed with a wooden
palisade.
The pa was located at the current
site of Hone Wetere Church
and remnants of the ramparts
can still be seen in the church
yard.
A third fortified pa was later
built by Ruahikihiki’s son, Moki
II, close to the present site of the
Ngati Moki Marae.
The Taumutu hapu, Ngai Te
Ruahikihiki, had close ties with
other Ngai Tahu sub-tribes near
Kaiapoi and Banks Peninsula, as
well as at Otakou on the Otago
Peninsula.
In the 1820s they became
involved in the Kai Huanga
(Eat Relation) feud when the
brother-in-law of their chief was
killed as retribution following
a traditional insult against the
tribe’s paramount chief.
As a result, the Taumutu hapu
suffered from ‘Utu’ (revenge) and
many people were killed.
At this time, Ngai Tahu
warriors from Otakou, under
Matenga Taiaroa, travelled north
to protect their Taumutu kin and
eventually persuaded them to
return to Otakou with them for
fear of continuing retribution.
A number of years later Chief
Tamaiharanui, who had been
the main aggressor towards the
Taumutu hapu, enticed them
back to the area by guaranteeing
their safety.
However, this was only a ruse
and he proved treacherous by
ambushing the returning Taumutu
people on Kaitorete Spit
when they were nearing their pa.

strong in the Selwyn district
Only a few escaped with their
lives.
Tamaiharanui was later defeated
by Te Rauparaha when he
raided south in the late 1820s,
which saved the people of Taumutu
from further retribution.
When Bishop Selwyn visited
Taumutu in 1844 it was only a
shadow of its former prosperity.
He described the pa as being a
collection of a ‘few huts enclosed
by a fence’ with only around 40
inhabitants.
The earlier massacre would
have certainly played a part in its
decline, but an accurate account
of the population is hard to determine
given the nomadic life of
its people who regularly travelled
to the West Coast for pounamu
(greenstone) and to the south for
muttonbirds.
Christianity became an important
facet of life at Taumutu.
During Bishop Selwyn’s visit he
was surprised to discover that
several local Maori could read
and recite the Lord’s Prayer.
Although he was the first European
clergyman to visit the area,
Christianity was already spreading
through Maori converts.
Taumutu became a Methodist
outpost from 1845 after the visit
from a Methodist missionary,
Charles Creed.
HISTORIC: The Hone Wetere (John Wesley) Church at Taumutu. Built in 1885 on the site of Te Ruahikihiki’s pa. Right – The Ngati
Moki Marae, established on the site of the pa built by Moki II.
Services were held in Maori
and English, with the district
later being served by Reverend
Te Kote Te Ratou from 1865 until
1891.
Built in 1885, the historic Hone
Wetere (John Wesley) Church,
remains the spiritual heart of the
Ngati Moki Marae and its people.
The site it was built on has
great spiritual and historical
significance for Ngai Tahu in
that it is the original site of Te
Ruahikihiki’s pa and its location
was seen as providing a special
relationship with the hills of
Banks Peninsula, the mountains
of Southern Alps and the water of
Te Waihora.
The most notable member
of the Taumutu community
in the late colonial period was
Ngai Tahu paramount chief, the
Honourable Hori Kerei Taiaroa
of Otakou.
Son of Te Matenga Taiaroa, he
was prominent in the judicial and
political campaigns to uphold
Ngai Tahu land claims.
In 1871 he was elected to the
House of Representatives as the
member for Southern Maori
and was successful in gaining
financial compensation for his
people, as well as the return of
some land.
In 1878, Taiaroa and his family
moved from Otakou to Te Awhitu,
a stately two-storied wooden
mansion he had built at Taumutu
on his ancestral land.
This later became the home of
successive Ngai Tahu paramount
chiefs, but tragically burnt to the
ground in 2003 with the loss of
much historical taonga.
When Parliament was not in
session, Taiaroa lived the life of a
country gentleman here and was
hugely respected by both Maori
and European alike.
He was later appointed to the
Legislative Council (the now defunct
upper house of Parliament),
a position he held until his death
in 1905.
He was remembered for his
determination in pushing Ngai
Tahu land claims, which to him
were a matter of family mana, as
well as justice for his iwi.
However, he also played an
important role in wider Maori
politics.
And it was Taiaroa who was
the major financial patron for
the building of the historic Hone
Wetere Church.
Taiaroa’s legacy remains in
the form of his descendants;
some who still live in the district
and who provide leadership
within the Te Taumutu Runanga
in maintaining shared guardianship
of Te Waihora/ Lake
Ellesmere.

Lincoln footballer nets
national schools call-up
LINCOLN HIGH School student
Zoe McMeeken is making the
right impression in her Halswell
14 premier boys football team,
with both national selectors
and the Mainland Pride taking
notice.
Zoe has been named in the
under-15 secondary schools team
to travel to Sydney from July
8-14.
The team will play three games
against New South Wales age

She is also part of the Mainland

The 14-year-old winger has
been outflanking the boys for the

against them had only positive
effects on her game.
“I really enjoy it because they’re
a lot more physical when they go

forces me to match it and protect
the ball more,” she said.
She first started playing at age
five in a Rolleston ‘first kicks’

A talented runner and crosscountry
athlete, it wasn’t until
year 9 when football became her
focus.
“I did enjoy running and crosscountry

Lincoln Combined
Proud supporters of
Rugby & Netball in Selwyn
rue poor first half in loss to Christ’s
• By Jacob Page
LINCOLN COMBINED were
left to rue a poor first half in their
29-5 defeat to Christ’s College at
North Hagley Park on Saturday.
Lincoln trailed 22-0 at halftime
with coach Mike Wilson saying
they did not match the intensity
of the competition front-runners
in the first 35min.
“We weren’t physical enough,
didn’t put the shoulders into
our tackles to drive them back
and we struggled to get field
position,” Wilson said.
“Any ball we did get, we threw
away. We just seemed rather
rattled.”
Wilson said Christ’s played to
the wet conditions very well.
“It wasn’t raining but there was
a lot of surface water. Christ’s
kept their attack in tight and
really made us work defensively.
“They are a very well-drilled
team, everyone knows their role.”
Wilson said his players got
a stern team-talk at the break
and he was thrilled with the
response.
“[In] the second half, we really
struck to our task, hit the rucks
hard and made our presence felt
in contact,” he said.
“To keep the score at 7-5
showed that if we’d played like

that for the whole game, then
you never know what might have
happened.”
Wilson praised the impact
of reserve loose-forward Cam
Jordan who put his body on the
line countless times.
“He’s a guy who was a prop last
year and came to us at the start
of the season and said that he
wanted to be a loose-forward,”
Wilson said.
“On Saturday, he showed what
he can do in that position with
the work he did at the breakdown
and the tackles he made.”
Wilson also praised reserve
winger Ben Sisson for this workrate
in conditions not conducive
to free-flowing back play,
Lincoln will host Mid-
Canterbury Combined on
Saturday and will be eager to
return to winning ways.

MY PRIDE AND JOY
SELWYN TIMES
Back to back national champion
To call a 12 year old one of the greats may
seem a little premature but when it comes
to two-time New Zealand champion kart
racer Jacob Douglas, the label may just fit.
For one so young, he already has an
impressive line-up of wins, titles, and
experiences.
“Last year,” says Jacob’s father Craig, “Jake
raced for (sponsor) Aluminos at Supernats
21 in Las Vegas, Nevada, which is probably
the biggest kart meeting on the planet.”
Jacob has also represented New Zealand
in Italy, raced in Thailand and California,
and has several New Zealand and local
titles. He’s the only driver to win back to
back NZ championships in his class.
Jacob lives in Lincoln with his mum and
dad, Rowena and Craig, and twin sister
Hayley. It is fair to say they are a family of
high achievers.
“I’ve taught my children that it is okay to
want to be the best,” Craig says. While Jacob
takes to the track, Hayley is making her own
statement on the ice rink. Which makes for
a gruelling schedule, but for a family that
is passionate about and supportive of each
other’s efforts and achievements, it’s all in a
day’s work.
Jacob attends Medbury School in
Christchurch. They are encouraging of his
endeavours but also demand he maintains
his school work and grades, which he does
and has done since he started kart racing at
the age of 8.
The international and national
racing schedule demands dedication,
commitment, and a mental strength
beyond most 12 year olds and lest you fall
into the trap of thinking it is dad’s dream
and not Jacob’s, spend five minutes with
Jacob and the thought is easily dispelled.
Jacob’s knowledge of racing is astounding,
and his passion and dream for the future is
unquestioned.
When asked where he wants to be in ten
years, his answer is unequivocal, “in F1
(Formula One), or on the road to it.”
If not F1?
“It’d be cool to do open wheels – but
V8s, then.” With people like Craig Baird,
Scott McLaughlan, Kenny Smith and Greg
Murphy watching Jacob’s rise, he has a solid
future lined up.
Jacob is quick, however, to acknowledge
that he can’t do it alone. He is supported by
a dedicated team of coaches and mentors,
and sponsors like Aluminos in the United
States.
Local sponsors and Jacob’s coaches,
Matthew and Tiffany Hamilton, who
between them have numerous national
and world racing titles and who own WKS
KartStore in Christchurch, recognise
Jacob’s potential and believe in him. They
are some of his strongest supporters.
“To do what he’s done in Thailand, when
he won there and to do so well in Italy and
America – he’s really very good,” Matthew
says.
“There are a few kids in New Zealand who
have got what it takes but Jacob is definitely
the top of that age group and he’s proven
that two years in a row. Anyone who wins
nationals back to back has certainly got
talent.”
Jacob Douglas is another name to watch
in New Zealand motorsport. He has F1
square in his sights but he is also aware
of the challenging road ahead. Even
with the right support in place, adequate
sponsorship, and in a highly competitive
structure, it comes down to just a couple
of things, Jacob’s attitude and his natural
talent and ability.
When asked why he’s so good, his
response sings. “The practise and the effort
of the people around me and how much I
want it, if I had the same people and their
effort around me but I didn’t put in the
effort, I wouldn’t be any good.”
Winning words from a 12 year old.
And what’s it like being number one in
New Zealand? Jacob thinks for a moment,
and with a modest smile, says, “it’s cool”.

One-stop engine
repairs and service
Rolleston Diesel & Petrol is a local one-stop shop for everything related
to servicing and repairing cars, trucks, boats, machinery and more. In
fact, they can repair almost anything with an engine whether it’s a diesel
or petrol engine.
Owner Simon Wilson emphasises the
importance of a well maintained vehicle.
All vehicles need regular maintenance,
whether old or new. As drivers, it is
very easy to think that if the car starts
and goes it must be okay. Regular
maintenance however, can identify
the beginnings of problems that might
become more expensive and a whole lot
of hassle, if left unchecked.
At Rolleston Diesel & Petrol they
use the latest diagnostic equipment.
Together with the combined expertise
and experience Allan and Hayden bring
to the table, you can be assured that every
job, whether a service or repair, is carried
out to exacting standards. They fit only
good quality parts and components
specifically manufactured for the vehicle
brand, and use only the best oil and
fluids. A high standard is not just a goal,
it is a promise.
WOF certificates can be issued quickly
and is an ideal time to have your vehicle
serviced too.
Rolleston Diesel & Petrol is experienced
in repairing all vehicles, specialising in
brakes and suspensions. At this time of
year these are especially important to
have operating optimally.
In the event of a breakdown, Rolleston
Diesel & Petrol offers a tow truck service
and where appropriate, an offsite repair
service. They also have courtesy cars
to minimise the down time having a
vehicle repaired can create – another
consideration for busy lives.
At the Jones Road workshop, there is
a wide range of products and it is the
official stockist of brands such as Penrite
Oil, Maxis Tyres, Ryco Oil Filters, and
Supercharge Batteries.

Wash franchise giving her the freedom to be her own
boss and to work with her other love – dogs. Jill takes
a patient and calm approach with the dogs and does
her best to make it a pleasant experience. Jill always
gets a buzz seeing the finished look, after the groom.
“I have been really well supported in Selwyn as it is
a community that gets behind local businesses and I
have met so many lovely people and their dogs,” says
Jill.
Book one of the services that Jims Dog Wash offer
such as coat tidy up, coat strip out, full groom service,
including nails, ears and pads or enquire about the
flea and tick treatments.

Keep veges growing to protect beds
ALTHOUGH THE weather has
cooled, there are still a few tasks
to be done in the garden at this
time of year.
Here are some tips to get you
started.
•Vege gardens – The winter
vege garden should be well
established by now and most of
your seedlings should already be
planted. Continue to sow broad
beans and transplant seedlings
of cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli
and silverbeet for a continuous
supply over winter. Sow green
manure crops such as lupin and
mustard in the parts of the vege
garden that will be empty during
the winter months. This will add
nutrients into the soil and protect
beds over winter.
•Strawberries – It’s the
traditional time of the year for
final preparation and planting
of strawberry plants. Areas to
be planted should be mounded
80-100cm above existing ground
level. Incorporate large amounts
of compost into the strawberry
bed. New plants or offsets from
last year’s plants should be
planted 15-20cm apart.
•Fruit trees – Pip and stone
fruit will have shed their leaves
and pruning can now begin. We
do this as early possible with
pip and stone fruit to avoid the
CHORES: Plant broad beans now for a continuous supply. It’s also time to trim your hedges. There will be little growth over the
winter so they should stay tidy until spring.
infection of silver leaf. Remove
all weak and inward growing
branches and reduce the height
of trees to allow for easy picking
and maintenance. After pruning,
spray with a copper compound to
help prevent any re-infection of
fungal diseases.
•Hedges – It’s an ideal time for
a final tidy up and hedge trims.
But remember, there will be no
new growth until spring, so final
trims should not be too vigorous
so the plants don’t stay bare
looking.
•Roses – It is possibly a little
too early for pruning, and it does
depend largely on the weather.
In the meantime, apply a copper
spray to prevent infection
of fungal diseases in spring.
Remove all dead leaves around
the base of the rose bushes and
apply compost as both a soil
conditioner and mulch.
•Lawns – Grass growth has
now ceased due to the cooler
weather. It is an excellent time
to level lawns with a roller as the
moist soil makes levelling quite
easily.
•Paths and walkways – Paths
around the house and through
the garden can become very
slippery during the winter
months; water blasting can
quickly remedy this problem. In
winter months, we mainly utilise
paths especially when there are
boggy parts in the garden or
lawn. For this reason, you may
wish to consider additional paths
to provide easier access.
•Container gardens – Brighten
up decks and entrances with
containers full of blooming
winter annuals such as cinerarias,
pansies, primulas, snapdragons
and violas.
Finally, check local garden
centres for newly arrived winter
stock of trees and shrubs as
June is a very safe time for
planting.

Adult Book Clubs
Last Friday of the month,
10.30-noon
Book discussion groups are a
fun and popular way to expand
your reading subjects, meet people
in your area and share your
thoughts and ideas about reading.
The sessions are organised to
be a discussion over a cup of tea
and a bikkie, rather than strict
literary criticism. The groups
read across a variety of genres
and this helps extend the reading
experience to include things not
necessarily chosen before.

A love of the natural environment
and influence of spontaneity
threads our three artists
together in this May exhibition.
While this title suggests two
paint media, it has yet another
meaning for this show, since
it includes two very different
kinds of art — painting and pottery.
Featuring works by Allan
Hooper, Debbie Lambert and
Bernadette Parsons, it’s one not

What to watch for when
the mode of sale changes
Buying a property is rarely straightforward,
which is no surprise given that it’s the
biggest financial commitment most people
ever make. When you combine big sums of
money and a considerable level of emotional
investment, even the simplest transaction
can be stressful. We hear a lot about the need
for buyers to do their homework, but there
are plenty of reasons for sellers to be careful
too.
If you’re selling a property with a real estate
agent, you must sign an agency agreement
that sets out all the terms and conditions
of your contract with them, including how
much commission they will earn from the
sale and how the property will be marketed.
That’s why it’s so important to get legal advice
before you sign an agency agreement. If it’s a
standard agreement, you usually retain the
right to sell the property privately but it’s a
good idea to check this. If you have signed
an agreement with an agency but decide for
whatever reason to opt for a DIY private
sale, you should double and triple-check
whether the agency agreement requires you
to pay commission to the real estate agent or
agency.
Most agencies use the Real Estate Authority
(REA) standard clauses in agency
agreements, which set out certain terms
and conditions for the contract and the
payment of commission. According to the
standard clauses, commission is payable if
the property is sold within the active term
of the agreement (normally 90 days) or if it
is sold privately within six months after the
end of the term to a buyer that the agent had
earlier introduced to the property. In other
words, if the buyer visits an open home run
by the real estate agent, and then enters into a
private sale with the seller within six months
after the end of the agreement, the seller is
still obliged to pay commission to the agent.
This can vary depending on whether it is
a sole or general agreement – talk to your
lawyer before you sign up.
Both sole agency agreements and general
agency agreements provide for commission
payments after the agreed period ends. If a
seller enters into a sale within six months of
the agency agreement ending with a buyer
who was introduced by the real estate agent
(or the agent facilitated the sale), then the
seller must pay the agent commission just as
they would have done when the agreement
was still current. So, if the agent brings a
potential buyer to a property in March, the
agency agreement expires in April, and the
seller and purchaser enter into a private
sale agreement in May, the seller will have
to pay the agent commission. The sale must
become unconditional (which is when all
the conditions of the sale and purchase
agreement have been met), but it doesn’t
matter whether it goes unconditional during
or after the agency period, or during or after
the six months following expiry, so long as
the sale and purchase agreement is entered
into within those timeframes. So, before you
sign an agency agreement, ask the agency
if it uses standard REA clauses. If it doesn’t
you may be exposed to more complicated
commission risks and you should seek legal
advice.
Generally, any issues arising from the agency
agreement/arrangements between the seller
and the real estate agent won’t have a direct
effect on the separate sale and purchase
agreement between the seller and the buyer.
However, the wrangling involved may create
headaches or delays that you as a buyer
wouldn’t want to be troubled with.
If you do decide that you’re really keen on a
property in this situation, seek legal advice
before getting involved (and especially
before signing anything). Remember too
that the REA can help you with questions
and complaints about sales involving
licensed real estate agents, but it’s unable to
step in if you have a problem with a private
and unlicensed seller.

selling property, check out settled.govt.nz.

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections
in the Selwyn District
From bohemian chic
to statement ceilings
Keeping up with home trends is a passion for
some, and arduous for others. But who hasn’t
had a quick look at some Pinterest boards to
find some ideas to spruce up the spare room
or the entrance way?
Apparently, there are more than ten
billion ideas for cool things to do at
home, just on this site. Whether joining
wooden crates to make a book case, using
an old rake to hang wine glasses, there is
something for every home-owner, from
dilettante to serious DIY enthusiast, to add
to the to-do list.
From the literally billions of ideas,
it is often possible to recognise trends
emerging, trends perhaps in simple things
such as colours or patterns, or more
complex trends in landscaping ideas or
themes for bedrooms.
Here are a few trends taking over
homes in 2018, according to these often
anonymous authorities who seem to
have their fingers on the pulse of what is
popular with creative home owners.
Softer colours. While there is still a place
for strong, bold colours, softer hues such
as Resene’s ‘Dusted Blue’ or ‘Soothe’ are
creating calm spaces. Last year, Pantone
announced ‘Ultra Violet’ the colour of the
year for 2018. Softer variations of purple,
such as lavender and jacaranda are being
seen in New Zealand homes.
Upcycling has been popular for a while
but 2018 might be the year it really takes
off. It’s very green, repurposing what you
already have, which is also easy on the
finances and is an opportunity to get a
little creative.
According to freshome.com, ‘haute
bohemian’ design is the newest new thing
and is, “a modern take on what it means to
be bohemian”. A simple way to describe it
is that the functional parts of your design
should remain neutral. The decorative
elements should bring a sense of style.
Hence, bed and side tables have neutral
tones; the throw pillows, blankets and
accessories adopt a more “interesting” and
personalised aspect.
Vogue says ‘statement ceilings’ are,
“2018’s most romantic and dramatic décor
trend”. Apparently, ceilings have been
ignored for 70 years! But no more. Bold
paints, tailored wallpapers, patterns, and
even murals are adorning the fifth wall.
Black is back. Whether tapware, sinks, or
entire bathrooms and kitchens, jet black,
with splashes of colour or highlighted
by earthy tones, is popular. Feature walls
or the central aspect of a dark, moody
bedroom theme, black is quietly chic
again.
Big art. Murals, statement pieces, even
gaudy sculptures, the bigger the better.
Display them properly, with good lighting.
Put them in the entranceway where
everyone coming and going will see them.
There are billions more ideas. You can
follow the trends, or set them. The beauty
is that personalising your home can be as
simple as taking one idea and making it
work for you in a different way. Browse
the popular websites, such as Pinterest,
Resene, and even Facebook, but be careful
as it can be very time consuming and
remember, what is trendy today may be
passe tomorrow.

Buying a property with trees
13
enjoyment of their land, which means
that you can’t let your trees become a
problem at their place (and vice versa).
If your neighbours have trees that are
giving you grief, think carefully before
swinging an axe or chainsaw. Legally, you
are entitled to trim any branches or roots
from a tree (or large shrub, or plant) that
encroach on your property unless they
are protected, in which case you may
need resource consent first. However, for
the sake of being a decent human being,
it’s a good idea to talk to the tree’s owners
first. Don’t be tempted to take matters
into your own hands and poison the tree,
or trespass onto a neighbour’s property
to chop parts of it off. One way to resolve
the situation is to seek advice from a
professional arborist. Getting an expert
to prune the tree in a way that doesn’t
destroy it completely will be far cheaper
than engaging a lawyer.
In the worst-case scenario, if you can’t sort
out tree issues with a chat over the fence
or the aid of an arborist, it may be time to
seek help from the Disputes Tribunal or
the District Court. If the trees are causing
a nuisance, such as blocking views and/
or light, and you’re unable to come to an
agreement with the neighbour, you can
apply to the District Court for an order to
get the neighbour to trim or remove the
tree.
For independent advice on buying or
selling property, check out settled.govt.
nz.
Whoever said ‘the best time to plant a tree
was 20 years ago’ obviously never dealt
with overhanging branches, wayward
roots or grumpy neighbours. As anyone
who lives in a leafy area will tell you, trees
can cause no end of bother. Trees can
block views, damage fences and interfere
with power lines. Roots can disrupt pipes,
branches can reduce sunlight availability,
leaves can block gutters and windfall fruit
can attract rodents. It’s a wonder people
ever plant them!
These problems are often caused by wellmeaning
property owners who plant
trees without thinking about how big
they will grow. By the time a tree is wellestablished,
it may be already wreaking
havoc both overhead and underground.
Overhanging branches may present
obvious hassles, but tree roots are usually
out of sight, out of mind until they start
to snaking their way into retaining walls,
foundations or drains (at which point they
become difficult to ignore and expensive
to re-route).
If you own a property, you are allowed
to do whatever you like to your trees,
within the bounds of the law that says
you have the right to the ordinary use and
enjoyment of your land. This is subject
to any protection that may apply to your
trees. If they’re protected (for example,
because they are historic, considered
to be significant or needed to prevent
erosion), you may need to get resource
consent before doing anything to them.
Remember that you can’t unreasonably
interfere with your neighbours’ use and
