Committee<br />
member<br />
removed<br />
after poor<br />
attendance<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
A TOWNSHIP committee member<br />
has been axed for poor attendance<br />
records.<br />
Malvern Community Board<br />
member Megan<br />
Hands has been<br />
removed from<br />
the Coalgate<br />
Township Committee<br />
due to poor<br />
attendance and<br />
not putting in<br />
apologies for her<br />
Megan Hands<br />
absence.<br />
It comes after the committee<br />
expressed “disappointment” in her<br />
commitment as a community board<br />
representative and asked the board<br />
to consider replacing her.<br />
District councillor Bob Mugford<br />
has since been appointed to take her<br />
place.<br />
Ms Hands said if she was unable<br />
to meet the committee’s expectations<br />
she accepted the consequence<br />
of being removed.<br />
“There is no point forcing yourself<br />
onto a community that doesn’t want<br />
you,” she said.<br />
Ms Hands believes she is a<br />
valuable community board member<br />
and wants to continue advocating<br />
the big issues in Malvern.<br />

FELICITY PLUCK’S photo on page 28 says<br />
it all: Lincoln Combined continue to fly in<br />
the UC championship.<br />
They edged out St Andrew’s at the weekend,<br />
a side which is always in contention<br />
for the major honours. Good things are<br />
happening with Lincoln Combined. Once they would have been<br />
regarded by opposition as easy competition points; now they are<br />
very much a danger side. And as for that photo, Felicity: Great<br />
stuff!<br />
On other rugby matters, Waihora continues to stride forward<br />
in the Ellesmere competiton and Lincoln University beat the city<br />
students in the Hawkins Trophy.<br />
But not so positive news on page 3. Rolleston School can’t find<br />
enough volunteers to help out at its kea crossing. The school has<br />
810 pupils, and that translates into lots of parents.<br />

Lack of volunteers<br />
may close Rolleston crossing<br />
• By Emily O’Connell<br />
ROLLESTON SCHOOL’S kea<br />
crossing is at danger of closing<br />
down if it can’t find more<br />
volunteers.<br />
The Rolleston Drive crossing,<br />
which has been running since<br />
October 2015, helps some of the<br />
school’s 810 pupils get safely<br />
across the road.<br />
It also has a school crossing<br />
on Tennyson St which is<br />
controlled by<br />
pupils and staff<br />
in the afternoon<br />
with parent help<br />
in the mornings.<br />
District<br />
councillor<br />
Nicole Reid,<br />
Andrew<br />
Morrall<br />
who is also on<br />
the school’s<br />
board of<br />
trustees, said the Rolleston<br />
Drive crossing requires<br />
controlling by adults but it’s<br />
“hard to get volunteers.”<br />
She’s concerned it may have<br />
to close if more people don’t<br />
volunteer.<br />
Rolleston School principal<br />
Andrew Morrall agreed that<br />
HELPING OUT: Maara McLaughlin-Ioala patrolling the<br />
crossing on Rolleston Drive.<br />
without ongoing support<br />
the crossing “may have to be<br />
closed some days or possibly<br />
completely.”<br />
He said the crossing was set<br />
up in response to growing traffic<br />
volumes on Rolleston Drive and<br />
the numbers of children having<br />
2019<br />
ON THE DOMAIN LINCOLN 2 MARCH 2019<br />
to cross there on their way to<br />
school.<br />
“Given the significant traffic<br />
numbers, and the distance from<br />
school, the board of trustees was<br />
not prepared to put children<br />
in charge of the crossing and<br />
we called for volunteers,” Mr<br />
Morrall said.<br />
He said a small team of people<br />
have been keeping the crossing<br />
open and “are doing an amazing<br />
job of helping to keep the<br />
children safe.”<br />
However, Mr Morrall said it’s<br />
a “mystery” as to why it can’t<br />
find more people to donate 20<br />
minutes of their time one day a<br />
week.<br />
“We have many families<br />
where both parents work.<br />
This may be an issue. Perhaps<br />
others believe that someone<br />
else will step up or they are not<br />
worried overly because their<br />
child doesn’t come that way to<br />
school,” he said.<br />
•To help with the Rolleston<br />
Drive crossing please phone<br />
the school office on 347<br />
8355. All volunteers will be<br />
given training.<br />

• By Emily O’Connell<br />
TWO SISTERS have teamed up<br />
to create a raw food company.<br />
Rosa, 22, and Margo Flanagan,<br />
19, are hosting plant-based workshops<br />
in Rolleston and around<br />
the country as well as teaching<br />
courses and catering for events.<br />
The sisters, who both grew<br />
up in Rolleston, launched the<br />
company last year but started<br />
working full-time as the Two<br />
Raw Sisters last week.<br />
The idea for the company came<br />
after they both attended the<br />
vegan culinary school, PlantLab,<br />
in Los Angeles last year.<br />
Margo said she knew she<br />
wanted to work with food after<br />
finishing high school in 2016.<br />
Rosa said before attending the<br />
culinary school they both ate<br />
meat and fish but ended up eating<br />
plant-based.<br />
“It wasn’t on purpose but we<br />
just started eating plant-based<br />
because obviously we were at the<br />
school all day and the meat was a<br />
little bit dodgy in America,” she<br />
said.<br />
However, due to deficiencies,<br />
Rosa has added meat and fish<br />
back into her diet and Margo eats<br />
fish again.<br />
“Our big thing is everyone’s<br />
bodies are different,” Rosa said.<br />
Rosa, who has just completed<br />
her degree in human nutrition, is<br />
a 3000m and 5000m steeplechase<br />
athlete.<br />
In order to execute her peak<br />
performance, Rosa had thought<br />
it was essential to lose weight.<br />
This put her body under a lot<br />
of pressure and after multiple<br />
injuries, Rosa “took a step back”<br />
to address her eating habits.<br />
“The last two to three years has<br />
been a hard time with kind of<br />
resetting my body pretty much<br />
and being patient with it but I<br />
know it’ll be worth it in the long<br />
run,” she said.<br />
Margo said the pair comple-<br />
CREATIVE:<br />
Margo, 19, and<br />
Rosa Flanagan,<br />
22, have<br />
created a raw<br />
food company. <br />
ment each other well, as Rosa’s<br />
a rustic person and she’s the<br />
perfectionist.<br />
“She does the salad side of<br />
things and I do the sweet side of<br />
things, so it works well,” she said.<br />
Rosa said their goal is to have<br />
their own cooking school with<br />
a workshop area so more people<br />
can come along.<br />

The committee first<br />
complained about her<br />
performance in October.<br />
Its chairwoman Jane Huggins<br />
said the committee does not<br />
make a fuss about people<br />
missing the odd meeting.<br />
“So you can read from that,<br />
it was more than that . . . we<br />
gave her another chance but she<br />
didn’t do her job,” she said.<br />
Ms Hands said she had<br />
missed some meetings due to<br />
a lack of notifications from<br />
council and the last meeting she<br />
missed was a genuine mistake<br />
due to a change of dates.<br />
The notification issue has<br />
since been addressed with chief<br />
executive David Ward and Ms<br />
Hands will be ensuring the<br />
dates of her future meetings are<br />
in her calender.<br />
Ms Hands runs her own<br />
business as an environment<br />
consultant and works part-time<br />
at food safety and bio-security<br />
service AsureQuality in<br />
Ashburton.<br />

INCREASE: Retail trade in the district was up by 14 per cent in the year to<br />
March. <br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> economy<br />
keeps growing<br />
THE DISTRICT’S economy continues<br />
to grow as activity in some traditionally<br />
strong sectors tapers off.<br />
The latest quarterly economic monitor<br />
from analysts Infometrics showed gross<br />
domestic product growth in <strong>Selwyn</strong> at<br />
4.4 per cent per annum in the year to<br />
March.<br />
This is well above average, with the<br />
Canterbury region expanding<br />
2.1 per cent in the same period,<br />
and 2.7 per cent nationally.<br />
Retail continues to grow in<br />
the district, with tourism spend<br />
one of the highlights in this<br />
quarter.<br />
Tourism-related spending<br />
increased by 17 per cent in the<br />
March year, outstripping the<br />
regional increase of 12 per cent<br />
and 9.3 per cent nationally.<br />
Retail trade activity was up by 14 per<br />
cent overall, with the Canterbury region<br />
up by 3.5 per cent.<br />
Rebuild-related projects continue to<br />
soften, as house sales have decreased by<br />
7.2 per cent compared with the previous<br />
year.<br />
Infometrics’ data shows building<br />
consents were down, with the district<br />
council issuing 202 new residential<br />
building consents in the March quarter,<br />
a decrease of 4.2 per cent annually compared<br />
with the same period a year ago.<br />

That’s consistent with district council<br />
data, which shows that in the year to<br />
May, a total of 851 building consent applications<br />
were received, compared with<br />
996 for the same time last year.<br />
However, district council building<br />
manager Vanessa Mitchell said in May<br />
the district council issued 293 building<br />
consents, up from 285 at the same time<br />
last year.<br />
“We have seen an increase in<br />
building consents issued due to<br />
increased staff numbers, meaning<br />
we’ve been able to process consents<br />
more quickly,” she said.<br />
There has also been an increase<br />
in commercial building consents,<br />
attributed to current projects such<br />
as the construction of a new primary<br />
school in Lincoln worth $6.7<br />
million.<br />
In the 12 months to June, 330 resource<br />
consents were received by the district<br />
council, compared to 297 this time last<br />
year, which is an increase of more than<br />
10 per cent.<br />
Mayor Sam Broughton said strong<br />
commercial growth means the district is<br />
heading beyond the re-build phase.<br />
“Our maturing economy is providing<br />
the commercial infrastructure that our<br />
people need, while creating job opportunities<br />
in <strong>Selwyn</strong> for local people,” he<br />

Four bars in Lincoln: Can they<br />
Lincoln now has four<br />
bars within a kilometre<br />
of each other with the<br />
opening of The Flaming<br />
Rabbit. Can they all<br />
survive? Reporter Emily<br />
O’Connell explores<br />
•The Flaming Rabbit<br />
Owner Paul Goodwin says<br />
Lincoln “needed the style” and<br />
that’s why he’s opened The Flaming<br />
Rabbit.<br />
The name is taken from a large<br />
scrub fire in Rolleston in the<br />
1930s, spread by nor’west winds<br />
and running rabbits. And yes,<br />
rabbit, platter style, is on the<br />
menu of the new bar, which is located<br />
in the commercial area on<br />
Vernon Dr, opposite New World.<br />
Mr Goodwin, who owns the<br />
bar with his wife Tessa, is also<br />
mine host of the Merrin Street<br />
Brewery Bar in Avonhead.<br />
The bar is already getting<br />
involved in the community. Mr<br />
Goodwin said it helps with the<br />
junior section of Springston<br />
rugby and as the business grows,<br />
they “will get involved with other<br />
things”.<br />
The bar is managed by Byron<br />
Mann who says there is enough<br />
business for four bars in Lincoln.<br />
NEW: The Flaming Rabbit manager Byron Mann at the recently opened bar and restaurant.<br />

“Everyone’s got their own<br />
personality in what they do,” he<br />
says.<br />
But if you think the competition<br />
will lead to a price war on<br />
drinks and food, don’t hold your<br />
breath.<br />
He said at this stage they’re not<br />
looking at doing loyalty cards<br />
but instead they will look after<br />
their regular customers through<br />
shouting them a wine or nibbles.<br />
•The Famous Grouse<br />
Hotel<br />
The Grouse is housed in Lincoln’s<br />
biggest building on Gerald<br />
St. It anchors the commercial area.<br />
It was rebuilt after the original<br />
125-year-old building was badly<br />
damaged in the September 4,<br />
2010, earthquake.<br />
The hotel is owned by the Lincoln<br />
Club, formed in 1969 as the<br />
Ellesmere Country Club.<br />
The club has 560 members<br />
who enjoy cheaper drinks prices<br />
than non-members and other<br />
benefits. The club is always on<br />
the lookout for new members.<br />
Manager Will Stock also says<br />
there is enough room for all in<br />
the town.<br />
“Lincoln is growing and it’s<br />
great to see the hospitality offering<br />
is growing with it,” he said.<br />
Lincoln’s population is expected<br />
to grow from 6500 to<br />
9400 in 2025.<br />
Mr Stock said the bars are different,<br />
which is great for Lincoln.<br />
The Grouse is a big sponsor of<br />
community and sports groups.<br />
But competition for customers<br />
is just not at the bar. All four<br />
bars have restaurants and that is<br />
leading to changes in menus and<br />
the way things are done to get<br />
the hospitality dollar.<br />

The Grouse also has<br />

•The Laboratory<br />
Owner Martin Bennett<br />
said the The Laboratory has a<br />
number of points of differences<br />
including its drink, food and<br />
“the place itself.”<br />
Mr Bennett said it has 10 beers<br />
on tap which are brewed on-site.<br />
The most popular is Isotopic<br />
Pale Ale.<br />
Another point of difference is<br />
The Laboratory has no television<br />
screens.<br />
That because it’s a place where<br />
you can get away from rugby<br />
and other sports matches, he<br />
says.<br />
The Lab is not a place for first<br />
year university students. Instead<br />
it’s the post-graduate, foreign<br />
students and professors who<br />
frequent it, said Mr Bennett.<br />
He said it’s too early to<br />
tell whether the increase<br />
in hospitality will lead to a<br />
reduction in trade. “I’d like to<br />
think that Lincoln’s big enough<br />
but time will tell. I’d like to<br />
think that perhaps with more<br />
places in Lincoln, people will<br />
go out more or go out to town<br />
less and therefore we can all<br />
survive,” he said.<br />
Mr Bennett said The Flaming<br />
Rabbit is not a competitor<br />
as they both have “different<br />
offerings.”<br />

AN AMOUNT of $180,000 has<br />
been raised for <strong>Selwyn</strong> St John<br />

the road.<br />
Six <strong>Selwyn</strong> lions clubs have<br />

About 3500 hours of volunteer<br />

Schools need to sort car park issues<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
SCHOOLS ACROSS <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
have been told they have to sort<br />
out their own car parking issues.<br />
The decision was agreed on at<br />
a Malvern Community Board<br />
meeting.<br />
It comes after<br />
Greendale<br />
School teacher<br />
aide Jan<br />
Douglas wrote<br />
a letter to the<br />
board saying it<br />
was “unacceptable”<br />
there<br />
John Morten<br />
are six spaces<br />
for vehicles at<br />
the school with up to 13 staff.<br />
But it was decided school<br />
board of trustees were “best<br />
placed” to take the lead in ensuring<br />
sufficient car parking around<br />
the schools.<br />
Greendale School principal<br />
Carey-Anne Hamilton said the<br />
school did not wish to comment<br />
on the issue as they were dealing<br />
with it themselves.<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> previously<br />
reported Glentunnel School and<br />
Hororata Primary School had<br />
been having car parking issues.<br />
Glentunnel School principal<br />
Dion Stechmann said the<br />
school previously went through<br />
PROBLEMS: The Malvern Community Board has decided it is up to school board of trustees to<br />
solve car parking issues outside schools across the district. Greendale School staff have to park<br />
on the grass verges due to a lack of car parking.<br />
a process with the New Zealand<br />
Transport Agency to make its car<br />
parking outside the school safer.<br />
He said all car parking outside<br />
the school was designed in a way<br />
which meant cars had to back<br />
out onto Homebush Rd.<br />
The school was hoping to<br />
remove the grass verge at its<br />
entrance to allow for more carparking.<br />
But a NZTA spokeswoman<br />
said it has a number of projects<br />
which have a high safety priority<br />
because of a history of crashes,<br />
and this project was not deemed<br />
to have the same priority.<br />
Mr Stechmann said the school<br />
was a “bit gutted” because it has<br />
been left to its board of trustees<br />
to do something and it does not<br />
have the funding.<br />
Hororata Primary School’s<br />
principal Martyn Gameson did<br />
not comment.<br />
He made a submission to the<br />
district council’s Long Term Plan<br />
asking for funding to solve ongoing<br />
concerns with the condition<br />
of the Bealey Rd frontage outside<br />
the school.<br />
The district council’s transportation<br />
asset engineer Mark<br />
Chamberlain said no funds have<br />
been set aside to upgrade the<br />
school frontage.<br />
But it has agreed to fix any<br />
issues relating to previous works<br />
it undertook when completing a<br />
reseal on Bealey Rd in 2016.<br />
District councillor John<br />
Morten said the district council<br />
has a policy where it doesn’t do<br />
car parking for the schools.<br />
He said the Ministry of Education<br />
should cover parking for the<br />
education facility.<br />
Cr Morten said while has<br />
sympathy for the schools in<br />
need of additional car parking,<br />
the district council has limited<br />
resources and no other business<br />
can get a resource consent without<br />
providing car parking.<br />
In Brief<br />
DISTRICT PLAN REVIEW<br />
Initial consultation on key draft<br />
changes relevant to rural, business,<br />
residential and districtwide<br />
audiences in the district<br />
plan is expected to start next<br />
month. The consultation will<br />
go for eight weeks. It’s expected<br />
formal consultation on the<br />
proposed district plan will begin<br />
in March 2020, with new plan<br />
becoming operative in March<br />
2022.<br />

Eighteen months of doing things a little<br />
Rolleston College has<br />
grown to around 440<br />
pupils since it opened<br />
18 months ago. Stacey<br />
Bryan reports<br />
ROLLESTON COLLEGE<br />
principal Steve Saville said his<br />
biggest achievement in the past<br />
18 months has “becoming a fully<br />
functioning school.”<br />
“All the things you would expect<br />
a normal school, that’s been<br />
functioning for a long while to<br />
have, we’ve managed to achieve,”<br />
Mr Saville<br />
said.<br />
In addition,<br />
the students<br />
have had opportunities<br />
that would be<br />
rare in many<br />
Steve Saville<br />
schools, like<br />
building a recycled,<br />
sustainable<br />
garden.<br />
Said Mr Saville: “They had<br />
to do all the design, put all the<br />
plans through council, meet<br />
with council to get planning<br />
permission, do all the measuring<br />
for it, figure out where the pipes<br />
were and all that stuff, get all the<br />
recycled material . . . they had to<br />
build it all.”<br />
This project is just one<br />

proud of how far they have come since opening 18 months ago. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<br />
example of the flexible learning<br />
model on the college is based.<br />
Lessons are taught with an<br />
authentic context by showing<br />
the students how the curriculum<br />
applies to real life. Students<br />
have three 100min classes each<br />
day, which are personalised,<br />
specialised and integrated.<br />
Personalised classes give<br />
the students time to pursue<br />
their own interests, specialised<br />
classes are similar to optional,<br />
non-compulsory subjects in<br />
a traditional learning style,<br />
and integrated classes cover<br />
the basics like literacy and<br />
numeracy.<br />
The building reflects this flexibility,<br />
with open spaces to teach<br />
in and small rooms with moveable<br />
walls for group projects.<br />
But Mr Saville said that people<br />
tend to think the school is more<br />
“different” than it actually is.<br />
“We have a flexible learning<br />
space, it’s not open.<br />
“All that means is that at times<br />
it’s very traditional lessons.<br />
Teacher at the front of a space<br />
delivering a lesson. But it means<br />
if we want to have group work, if<br />
students need a different space to<br />
do something . . . then it’s easier<br />
to have that flexibility in a design<br />
like this than a four-walled<br />
room.”<br />
Connected team senior<br />
leader Rachel Skelton came<br />
from teaching in a traditional<br />
learning environment and<br />
said the new system makes her<br />
a better teacher. Having the<br />
teachers working in teams meant<br />
that when a year 10 class were<br />
learning about the big bang<br />
theory in science, Mrs Skelton<br />
could collaborate and use it for<br />
their creative writing topic too.<br />
“It was some of the best<br />
creative writing I’ve ever seen<br />
from year 10 kids and I just<br />
thought, for me, working here<br />
allowed that to happen,” she<br />
said.<br />
Looking towards the future,<br />
Mr Saville said he is excited<br />
about bringing NCEA to the<br />
school next year and having<br />
senior students.<br />
“Excited and nervous, of<br />
course,” he said.<br />

ROLLESTON COLLEGE<br />
year 10 student Hamish<br />
Heney began his education<br />
in a school based on a<br />
traditional learning model.<br />
Three years in and he<br />
was diagnosed with dyslexia,<br />
something his mother,<br />
Rebecca Heney, did not feel<br />
the traditional school was<br />
prepared for.<br />
Mrs Heney said they<br />
decided to move towards<br />
a “more open learning<br />
environment to give him a<br />
bit more adaptability.”<br />
Hamish said as soon as<br />
he switched to the flexible<br />
learning model he felt like<br />
he “was actually learning<br />
something.”<br />
If the students at Rolleston<br />
College do not understand<br />
a lesson taught one<br />
way, the teachers switch to<br />
another method.<br />
“They try to make it as<br />
fun as possible for us,”<br />
Hamish said.<br />
Mrs Heney said it appears<br />
the staff are teaching<br />
the students without them<br />
realising they are learning.<br />
She said the students she<br />
had heard of struggling<br />
with the flexible learning<br />
system had come from traditional<br />
primary schools.<br />
“These kids are being<br />
asked to think for themselves<br />
a bit more than what<br />
we used to be allowed to in<br />
school,” Mrs Heney said.<br />

Council<br />
website<br />
upgraded<br />
THE DISTRICT council has<br />
launched a new-look upgraded<br />
website to make it easier for<br />
residents to find information<br />
online.<br />
The upgraded site includes<br />
much-improved search capability,<br />
a fresh, clean design and a<br />
new layout that helps guide users<br />
to the pages they want.<br />
The change marks the first<br />
time in many years that the website<br />
has been refreshed.<br />
“Our old website had been in<br />
the same format for around 10<br />
years – with just a partial redesign<br />
about five years ago,”said<br />
business relationship manager<br />
Stephen Hill.<br />
“Although the site was working<br />
okay, users were telling us it<br />
was often hard to navigate and<br />
to find the services they wanted.<br />
“We also knew from research<br />
that residents were looking for<br />
more functions and information<br />
to be available online.<br />
Mr Hill says the district council<br />
understands that it may take<br />
a little time for some users to get<br />
used to the new layout and advises<br />
residents to get in contact if<br />
they are having issues.<br />

SELWYN RESIDENTS with<br />
a passion for theatre are being<br />
called upon to take part in<br />
what will be one of the district’s<br />
largest musicals.<br />
Newly-formed theatre company<br />
CentreStage Rolleston is<br />
inviting as many people as possible<br />
to go and audition for its<br />
first production Joseph and the<br />
Amazing Technicolor<br />
Dreamcoat.<br />
The show is a musical with<br />
lyrics by Tim Rice and music by<br />
Andrew Lloyd Webber.<br />
It is based on the “coat of<br />
many colours” story of Joseph<br />
from the Bible’s Book of Genesis.<br />
The company wants to meet as<br />
many people as possible and see<br />
what talent the area has to offer.<br />
CentreStage Rolleston president<br />
and director Phil Dean said<br />
it wanted its first show to appeal<br />
to a wide audience and it was<br />
nice to present the show in the<br />
community in its 50th anniversary<br />
year.<br />
Mr Dean said CentreStage<br />
Rolleston was set up earlier this<br />
year as result of a “big hunger<br />
for performing arts” in the<br />
township.<br />
He recently made a<br />
submission at the district<br />
council’s Long Term Plan <strong>2018</strong>-<br />
2028, calling for a rehearsal<br />
spaces and a performance<br />
space of holding 500 patrons in<br />
Rolleston.<br />
A smaller 200-seated theatre<br />
available to community groups<br />
was also asked for.<br />
Mr Dean asked for<br />
consideration to be given to<br />
including a performing and<br />
rehearsal space in the recently<br />
approved indoor sports facility<br />
to be built at Foster Park.<br />
The district council’s property<br />
and commercial manager<br />
Douglas Marshall said there is<br />
no consideration the facility will<br />
have a theatre-style performing<br />
arts space.<br />
He said the new Rolleston<br />
Library and Community<br />
Centre will include a space for<br />
the performing arts, but those<br />
spaces will not have any theatre<br />

Thank you for<br />
helping your<br />
Fall Zones<br />
community<br />
To all of you who have had your<br />
trees trimmed before they became<br />
a problem, thank you for keeping all<br />
the families in your community warm,<br />
happy, healthy and connected.<br />
You can be proud of the fact that you have allowed your<br />
neighbours to stay warm, cook dinner and even charge<br />
their mobile phones. You may not have realised that what<br />
you’ve done has had much impact, but from all of us here<br />
at Orion, we just want to say thank you.<br />
Notice and Growth limit zones<br />

Power line voltage A. Growth limit zone B. Notice zone<br />

11,000 volts 1.6m 2.6m<br />
400/230 volts 0.5m 1.5m<br />
We’re not exaggerating.<br />
On our network, 10-20% of all unplanned power outages are<br />
caused by trees — including vegetation — coming into contact<br />
with power lines. Other than this, fire damage to property from<br />
branches sparking in dry conditions and serious injury from<br />
electrocution from contact with trees touching power lines are<br />
also possible consequences of not maintaining your trees.<br />
How close is too close?<br />
While most damage is caused by trees falling on power lines,<br />
significant risk exists from trees merely touching them. This risk<br />
increases the higher the voltage of the power line.<br />
The minimum distances that must be maintained between trees<br />
and power lines, as defined in the Electricity (Hazards from<br />
Trees) Regulations 2003, are outlined in the diagrams above.<br />
All vegetation should be kept out of the growth limit zone and<br />
preferably the notice zone.<br />
Sometimes it may not be practical to have a tree trimmed at the<br />
rate at which it grows and unfortunately, this means it may need<br />
to be removed. Other situations may require trees to be removed,<br />
most commonly when they are at a high risk of falling due to<br />
disease or adverse weather events.<br />
Where do I start?<br />
Before you begin, remember to keep yourself, and those around<br />
you, safe. We recognise that not everyone is experienced in tree<br />
trimming and are happy to advise you on what to do. We can arrange<br />
for trees near power lines to be trimmed at your expense, however<br />
we recommend you hire professionals to safely carry out the work.<br />
If you or someone working for you intends to work within four<br />
metres of power lines, a close approach consent is required from<br />
Orion before you start. As a tree owner, you may be liable for any<br />
damage caused by carrying out trimming or felling of trees.<br />
Will I be fined if I don’t comply?<br />
If a cut or trim notice is given to you and you fail to have the tree<br />
trimmed and/or advise us of the time and location of the trim<br />
without a reasonable excuse, this is an offence. This will make you<br />
liable for a fine not exceeding $10,000. If the offence continues,<br />
you will be liable for a further fine of not more than $500 for every<br />
day or part day during which the offence continues.<br />
More info can be found on our website and if<br />
you have any questions or notice any trees<br />
touching power lines in your area, please call<br />
us on 03 363 9898 or 0800 363 9898.<br />

Templeton quarry battle: Bring it on<br />
Templeton Residents<br />
Association<br />
chairman<br />
Garry Kilday<br />
reacts to the<br />
results of the<br />
Yaldhurst<br />
monitoring<br />
programme.<br />
THE RESIDENTS of Templeton<br />
will have heard or read about<br />
the outcome of Environment<br />
Canterbury’s dust monitoring<br />
programme and will be feeling<br />
some concern.<br />
While this outcome is a travesty<br />
for the people of Yaldhurst being<br />
hurt by these ruthless corporates,<br />
the outcome itself came as no<br />
surprise to the no quarry subcommittee.<br />
We had anticipated this event<br />
and it does not change our submission<br />
process whatsoever, in<br />
actual fact we believe it may help.<br />
I believe that the dust monitors<br />
were not reliable, hence the<br />
results from them can not be<br />
relied upon.<br />
Ownership of the monitors<br />
themselves seems to be a grey area.<br />
Some believe they are paid<br />
for by the quarry companies,<br />
so if this is the case they would<br />
have first dibs at the so called<br />
“raw data” which ECan has been<br />
talking about for some time, and<br />
PROBLEMATIC: Dust at Winstone Aggregates quarry in Yaldhurst.<br />
all evidence from that point on<br />
would be compromised.<br />
If this is the case, the Canterbury<br />
District Health Board<br />
and ECan are acting on flawed<br />
information.<br />
And of course with the wettest<br />
four months for years in<br />
Canterbury, getting any reading<br />
is amazing. What will it be like<br />
in mid-summer in a north-west<br />
gale? Due to some inaccuracies/<br />
major concerns reported by the<br />
Yaldhurst group we will be writing<br />
to ECan strategy and planning<br />
director Katherine Trought,<br />
to take up her offer of organising<br />
a meeting with the chief medical<br />
officer Alistair Humphrey and<br />
ECan to discuss the results.<br />
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<br />
The admission by a representative<br />
of ECan that their inability to<br />
monitor compliance at the first<br />
and second community meeting<br />
was confirmed at a recent meeting<br />
with Ms Trought and ECan<br />
chairman, Steve Lowndes. They<br />
went as far as to say it is about<br />
three years behind around all<br />
compliance issues.<br />
In addition to meeting with<br />
ECan, we have also met with<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> District Council regarding<br />
its Long Term Plan quarry<br />
regulatory requirement.<br />
This was also extremely helpful<br />
and has clarified a few more<br />
points.<br />
It is my belief that Fulton<br />
Hogan may now put in its application<br />
early to try and catch<br />
us unaware, so for those who are<br />
planning on putting in a submission,<br />
please be ready.<br />
The no quarry sub-committee<br />
will not be changing anything in<br />
our submission so with that in<br />
mind, bring it on.<br />
We will be re-extending an<br />
invitation to Fulton Hogan to<br />
attend a community meeting,<br />
which it declined to attend earlier<br />
in the year.<br />
We believe that this is vital to<br />
successful and transparent community<br />
engagement.<br />
We will advise you of the outcome.<br />

NEW: Deputy Mayor Malcolm Lyall and Prebbleton<br />
community association committee chairman Peter<br />
Hunter with a new radar speed sign which has been<br />
installed to help slow traffic in the area. <br />
Mike Green responds to an<br />
article about the Prebbleton<br />
community association<br />
committee buying a radar<br />
speed sign for Springs Rd<br />
Mike Green – Have just<br />
read the article in the <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
<strong>Times</strong> regarding speed<br />
signs. Unfortunately I have<br />
experienced their ineffectiveness<br />
around <strong>Selwyn</strong>, namely Brookside<br />
Rd and Dunns Crossing Rd near<br />
the new school. Many times I have<br />
witnessed cars approaching these<br />
signs in excess of the 50km/h to<br />
be flashed at with the sign saying<br />
‘slow down’. At least eight out of 10<br />
cars take no notice whatsoever. The<br />
sign keeps flashing as these cars<br />
approach with no slowing until they<br />
pass the sign and the process starts<br />
all over again when the next car<br />
approaches.<br />
Being long straight roads the<br />
signs pick up motorists at a good<br />
distance, but in spite of the slow<br />
down flashing it is obvious that<br />
many motorists couldn’t give a<br />
damn. Now if they thought that a<br />
camera would catch them along<br />
with a fine, then they might slow<br />
down, but unfortunately too many<br />
motorists know that won’t happen<br />
and are happy to break the speed<br />
limit. Until motorists can see a<br />
financial deterrent, such as a fine<br />
and points, then these signs are<br />
not going to slow them down. They<br />
will remain anti-social. Happy to<br />
be proved wrong but I’ve seen it too<br />
many times.<br />
District council<br />
environmental services<br />
manager Tim Harris responds<br />
to an article about the<br />
Templeton Quarry<br />
The article ‘Quarry, properties<br />
space bid’ (June 20, <strong>2018</strong>) is<br />
factually incorrect on a significant<br />
element. The story asserts that “the<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> District Plan committee has<br />
decided to include setbacks in the<br />
District Plan but it will not specify<br />
how far away a quarry must be from<br />
a property”.<br />
This is not the case. The<br />
committee has in fact requested<br />
only that setbacks be included as<br />
a possible option in forthcoming<br />
consultation with stakeholders and<br />
the wider community. No decision<br />
has been made on whether setbacks<br />
will be included in the final District<br />
Plan. The process of reviewing the<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> District Plan is currently<br />
at the stage of preparing preferred<br />
option reports on a variety of<br />
topics, including quarrying. Initial<br />
public consultation on these<br />
topics will be carried out in the<br />
second half this year, and further<br />
consultation will take place when<br />
the proposed District Plan is<br />
formally notified, expected to be in<br />
early 2020.<br />
Readers respond to an<br />
article about the district<br />
council likely to review<br />
funding for a cycleway/<br />
walkway between Glentunnel<br />
and Whitecliffs<br />
Rosalie Snoyink – Bringing<br />
forward the Whitecliffs to<br />
Glentunnel shared cycle/walkway<br />
into the district council’s 2020/21<br />
budget is a welcome idea. It will<br />
link up the existing, popular<br />
Coalgate to Glentunnel cycle/<br />
walkway.<br />
I’m amazed at the pedestrian and<br />
cycling traffic using the Coalgate<br />
to Glentunnel facility since its<br />
completion.<br />
As a more “senior” cyclist, I often<br />
bike from Glentunnel to Coalgate,<br />
and now look forward to biking to<br />
Whitecliffs on a similar, safe, scenic<br />
cycleway.<br />
Laura Williams – I’m thrilled<br />
that the Glentunnel/Whitecliffs<br />
route is getting more attention.<br />
It’s a really dangerous stretch and<br />
I’ve seen a lot of near misses so I’m<br />
uncomfortable biking or walking<br />
there to visit friends.<br />
I hate to think of kids making<br />
their way to school around those<br />
blind corners. It’s a massive safety<br />
hazard so should definitely take<br />
precedence.<br />
John Geary reacts to the<br />
district council’s decision to<br />
support an online voting trial<br />
in principle<br />
John Geary – Just a thought –<br />
after the census problems with<br />
our elderly folk not always computer<br />
literate, why not post out postal<br />
forms to all voters over 65, giving<br />
them the option?<br />

Since the early ‘80s, artist Ashley Smith has lived and worked<br />
from a crumbling, windswept headland on the North Canterbury<br />
coast. He bought the land after discovering, during the course of<br />

“The sudden shifts of life’s flow passing through and around us;<br />
culturally, meteorologically, personally, always have the power<br />
to surprise.<br />
You’re an island nation of pristine waters and clamorous birdcall<br />
when a sail broaches the horizon…<br />
You glance up from an endless summer to find a rampaging<br />
southerly bearing down on you. …A young family-man, raising a<br />
home on a rural headland, a moment’s distraction and suddenly<br />
you’re an old, bald bloke rummaging for the car keys and your<br />
friend’s name…” Ashley Smith<br />
Ashley Smith hopes these paintings, from a milestone period of<br />
his life will, like life’s gearshifts, have the power to surprise.”<br />

Community centre ‘exciting news’<br />
Bill Woods responds to a<br />
district council decision<br />
on hall rates<br />
Just to let you know that I<br />
am really annoyed about the<br />
district council proceeding<br />
with its proposal to place a<br />
standard rate on all halls and<br />
reserves. The council claims<br />
this rate is more equitable<br />
but if you have a look at<br />
the figures, it only benefits<br />
the towns that have large<br />
payments on their halls.<br />
Those towns had a ballot to<br />
proceed with their hall and<br />
now they want the rest of the<br />
district to pay for their selfimposed<br />
debts.<br />
The proposal is not fair on<br />
the towns that have paid for<br />
their halls in the past and the<br />
committees which run them<br />
work hard to keep the rates for<br />
their hall as low as possible.<br />
I have canvassed only a couple<br />
of people but so far there is<br />
real opposition to the rate.<br />

Community<br />

executive<br />
officer Cindy<br />
Driscoll<br />
talks about<br />
what’s going<br />
on in the<br />
community<br />
RECENTLY WE heard the<br />
exciting news that the new<br />
Hororata Community Centre to<br />
be built on the Hororata Domain<br />
has been included in the district<br />
council’s Long Term Plan.<br />
This project is the result of a<br />
collaborative effort between the<br />
Hororata Community Trust and<br />
Go Hororata, a collective group<br />
of community organisations<br />
which have worked together to<br />
develop the community centre<br />
concept and present it to the<br />
district council.<br />
The Hororata Domain is a<br />
wonderful venue for all sorts of<br />
activities and annual events run<br />
by different community groups,<br />
including the Hororata Pig and<br />
Possum Hunt, Hororata Swap<br />
Meet, Hororata Parish Spring<br />
Fair and the Hororata Highland<br />
Games.<br />
These events, along with others<br />
held throughout our district, are<br />
part of the fabric of the community<br />
and make the area a great<br />
place to live and visit. The new<br />
community centre will enhance<br />
existing events and provide more<br />
opportunities for different activities,<br />
as well as a facility to enable<br />
our communities to congregate.<br />
This year’s Hororata Night<br />
Glow, staged by the Hororata<br />
Community Trust, proved yet<br />
again what our communities can<br />
achieve.<br />
One of the main aims of the<br />
night glow was to establish the<br />
festival as a major contributor<br />
to the fundraising for the new<br />
Hororata Community Centre.<br />
The Hororata Community<br />
Trust feels this aim has been<br />
achieved and is looking to grow<br />
the event in the future.<br />
Now the community centre is<br />

confirmed, we are turning our<br />
efforts to more detailed planning<br />
which will include community<br />

The Hororata Community<br />

Hororata, and looks forward to<br />
helping bring this project to fruition.<br />
It’s an exciting time for our<br />
communities.<br />

Tai Tapu Community Centre<br />
now open<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> Awards seeks people’s<br />
vote for new prize<br />
Voting is now open for the new People’s Choice Award as part of<br />
this year’s <strong>Selwyn</strong> Awards.<br />
The <strong>Selwyn</strong> Awards are held every two years, and seek to recognise<br />
individuals and organisations for outstanding work or inspirational<br />
achievements.<br />
All nominees in all categories of the <strong>2018</strong> awards are eligible for<br />
the People’s Choice Award which will be decided entirely by online<br />
public vote.<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> Mayor Sam Broughton says this is an opportunity for the<br />
community to get even more involved in the awards.<br />
“This is the first time in the history of the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Awards that this<br />
option has been included,” he says.<br />
“I’m excited that the public has the opportunity to have their say on<br />
who they think is deserving in our community.”<br />
The <strong>Selwyn</strong> Awards will be recognised at a Gala Dinner at the<br />
Lincoln Event Centre on Saturday 4 August <strong>2018</strong>, where all<br />
nominees will be celebrated and the winners in each of the 10<br />
categories, including People’s Choice, will be announced.<br />
Every person who votes goes into the draw to win two tickets to the<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> Awards <strong>2018</strong> Gala Dinner.<br />
Voting closes on Saturday 28 <strong>July</strong>.<br />
Votes are limited to one per person (multiple votes by one person<br />
will be removed).<br />
See www.selwynawards.co.nz for more information and the online<br />
voting form.<br />
The construction of the new Tai Tapu Community Centre has been completed and the facility is<br />
ready for community use.<br />
The $4.6m (projected total) facility, located at Rhodes Park, is a community-driven initiative which<br />
replaces two earthquake damaged and outdated halls in the township.<br />
The community centre is now accepting bookings from anyone who wishes to use the facility,<br />
however exterior work including landscaping will be completed over the next few months, as<br />
some of the work can’t be completed during winter.<br />
An official opening ceremony is planned for mid-August, so that everyone who was involved in the<br />
planning and construction of the new community centre can be present.<br />
Council Major Projects Manager, John Reid, says it’s exciting to see the new facility operational<br />
and hopes the community will start using it straight away.<br />
“The new Tai Tapu Community Centre is a brilliant community asset and it’s ready for everyone to<br />
enjoy. This facility is a very good example of a community-driven project with the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District<br />
Council providing guidance and support.<br />
The new facility features three community rooms with a total capacity in excess of 500 people –<br />
each room has access to kitchen and bar facilities. It also has changing rooms, public toilets, and<br />
a large roofed outdoor courtyard.<br />
The first major public event held at the new Tai Tapu Community Centre was the Waihora Rugby<br />
Club’s club day which was held over the weekend.<br />
Fresh look for Council website<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> District Council has launched a new look, upgraded website<br />
to make it easier for residents to find information and do business<br />
with the Council.<br />
The upgraded site includes much-improved search capability,<br />
mobile responsiveness, a fresh, clean design and a new layout that<br />
helps guide users to the pages they want.<br />
The change marks the first time in many years that the website has<br />
been refreshed. “Our old website had been in the same format for<br />
around 10 years – with just a partial redesign about five years ago,”<br />
says Council’s Business Relationship Manager Stephen Hill.<br />
Although the site was working okay, users were telling Council it<br />
was a bit clunky.<br />
The home page is now much more informative and engaging, with<br />
clear links to our most popular pages and services, plus news and<br />
events sections, and links to our current consultations and to other<br />
council sites.<br />
We know there will be some things we still need to work on, and if<br />
people do find issues that need attention, they can drop us a line<br />
through the contact page. We hope people enjoy using the new site.<br />

Native beetle mania<br />
Mike<br />
Bowie is an<br />
ecologist who<br />
specialises in<br />
entomology<br />
(insects<br />
and other<br />
invertebrates).<br />
Each week he introduces<br />
a new species found in his<br />
backyard at Lincoln. His<br />
column aims to raise public<br />
awareness of biodiversity,<br />
the variety of living things<br />
around us. Check out the full<br />
list of invertebrates found<br />
at http://naturewatch.org.<br />
nz/projects/backyardbiodiversity-bugs-in-lincoln<br />
THERE ARE approximately<br />
140 species of chafer or scarab<br />
beetles in New Zealand.<br />
These beetles have larvae that<br />
feed in the soil on roots and, as<br />
adults, they feed on the foliage<br />
of many plant species.<br />
The most well known scarab<br />
in New Zealand is the native<br />
grass grub beetle, costelytra<br />
zealandica, present in most<br />
pastures, gardens or lawns.<br />
The larvae of these beetles<br />
live in the soil and are<br />
characteristically C-shaped,<br />
creamy-whitish grubs with<br />
three pairs of slender legs and a<br />
SCARAB: The native grass grub beetle, costelytra zealandica,<br />
is present in most pastures, gardens or lawns.<br />
darker head.<br />
Odontria species are chafers,<br />
larger in size with fuzzy/velvety<br />
appearance, while costelytra<br />
species are smoother and more<br />
shiny.<br />
Adults often fly at dusk about<br />
30min after sunset for about<br />
30min and are attracted to<br />
lights. They usually land on<br />
trees or shrubs where they<br />
forage on leaves and mate<br />
before laying eggs in the soil<br />
where the larvae spend their life<br />
before pupating near the soil<br />
surface.<br />

Leeston’s Beth Prestage (above) was at the launch of Local<br />
Lives: A History of Addington for a very special reason on<br />
Wednesday night. Her grandfather William Hearfield and<br />
his family feature on the front cover of the book outside his<br />
home circa 1903. The book, by John Wilson (above) tells<br />
the story of the suburb from its working class beginnings in<br />
the 1860s through to the impact of the September 4, 2010,<br />
and February 22, 2011, earthquakes. The book costs $50<br />

Even contest at top of netball table<br />
• By Jacob Page<br />
GREENPARK A and Lincoln<br />
gifted top spot in the <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
premier netball competition<br />
to Broadfield after the two<br />
teams played out a 61-61 draw<br />
at Lincoln Event Centre on<br />
Saturday.<br />
The intrigue continues during<br />
the second round of the competition,<br />
with the top three teams<br />
seemingly even.<br />
Broadfield’s comfortable 72-<br />
41 win over Greenpark B saw<br />
them go to the top of the table<br />
with three wins and a draw.<br />
Greenpark A and Lincoln<br />
both have two wins and two<br />
draws from their four games to<br />
sit in second equal.<br />
Southbridge A ousted their<br />
clubmates Southbridge B 45-40<br />
to move off the bottom of the<br />
table.<br />
Lincoln coach Vanessa<br />
Robinson said while they had<br />
their chance to win the game,<br />
with a one goal lead in the final<br />
minute, she was pleased with<br />
the overall effort.<br />
“The girls really wanted it in<br />
that final quarter and maybe we<br />
would have had it if we’d kept a<br />
bit more composure, but I can’t<br />
fault the effort,” she said.<br />
Lincoln ran out to an early<br />
six goal advantage in the first<br />
quarter but trailed by the same<br />
margin in the third quarter.<br />
“In the first round we lost to<br />
both of these teams and now, in<br />
round two, we have drawn with<br />
both of them so our results are<br />
tracking in the right direction.”<br />
Robinson praised the work of<br />
mid-courter Char Porima after<br />
she moved in to centre to help<br />
steady the side, both on attack<br />
and defence.<br />
Broadfield is set to face a<br />
sterner test this Saturday when<br />
they face Greenpark A in the<br />
battle for top position.<br />
Lincoln will play Southbridge<br />
B and Greenpark B will play<br />
Southbridge A.<br />
Results – Southbridge A 45,<br />
Southbridge B 40; Greenpark A<br />
61, Lincoln A 61; Broadfield A<br />
72, Greenpark B 41.<br />
Points – Broadfield A 14,<br />

Another tight win for Lincoln Combined<br />
SPORTS<br />
• By Jacob Page<br />
LINCOLN Combined’s habit of<br />
winning close games continued<br />
on Saturday when they beat<br />
St Andrew’s College 19-15 at<br />
Lincoln High.<br />
Two second half tries to captain<br />
Wil Gualter helped Lincoln<br />
Combined consolidate third on<br />
the UC Championship table and<br />
get the team their fifth straight<br />
win.<br />
It is their fourth win under<br />
four points this season. Lincoln<br />
Combined have seven wins from<br />
nine game and have 32 points.<br />
They are two points ahead of<br />
fourth-placed St Bede’s College<br />
and five points ahead of St Andrew’s<br />
in fifth.<br />
Lincoln Combined coach Mike<br />
Wilson said his team made their<br />
best start to a game this season,<br />
but after trailing 12-7 at halftime,<br />
it was the class of Gualter<br />
and some stern defence which<br />
got them home.<br />
“That’s the thing that’s impressed<br />
me the most this year,<br />
the way we just stick to our task,”<br />
he said. “Tactically, I thought<br />
we were very good early on, our<br />
option taking and kicking game<br />
really impressed me.”<br />
It was a strong tackle on the<br />
goal line from replacement back<br />
Cole Spinks which preserved the<br />
lead late in the piece. St Andrew’s<br />
had a superior maul all game but<br />
with back-to-back penalties, they<br />
chose to scrum as opposed to use<br />
their lineout drive.<br />

their 19-15 UC Championship<br />
rugby win at Lincoln High<br />
School. PHOTO: FELICITY<br />
PLUCK<br />
“That sort of win against a<br />
good rugby school really means<br />
a lot to our boys,” Wilson said. “I<br />
think the boys are really thriving<br />
on working hard to win their<br />
games.<br />
“They’re working hard for each<br />
other and it’s creating a good<br />
atmosphere at trainings.”<br />
Wilson said he was impressed<br />
with the locking combination<br />
of Sean Lemon and Sam Scott,<br />
as well as the defensive efforts of<br />
Josh Brown at centre.<br />
Lincoln’s will play Waimea<br />
Combined at home on Saturday<br />
in a game they will be favoured<br />
to win against the 12th-placed<br />
team in the competition.<br />
Waihora keep perfect record in Ellesmere competition<br />

UNBEATEN WAIHORA did<br />
enough to outlast Springston<br />
23-17 on their club day at Tai Tapu<br />
on Saturday,<br />
The six-point win maintains<br />
Waihora’s perfect record in the<br />
Ellesmere senior rugby competition<br />
after six rounds.<br />
The result leaves Springston, which<br />
earned a surprise but deserved semifinal<br />
spot in the combined country<br />
competition, languishing in seventh<br />
– five points outside the top four.<br />
Darfield dented Lincoln’s top four<br />
chances while underlining their<br />
title credentials with a 36-17 away<br />
victory.<br />
The result sets up an intriguing<br />
match-up on Saturday when Lincoln<br />
travels to Springston with both<br />
teams desperate to re-ignite their top<br />
four chances.<br />
Southbridge maintained their grip<br />
on third spot but were made to work<br />
a lot harder than many predicted to<br />
beat cellar-dwellers Hornby 21-14 at<br />
home in their Murray Cooper Shield<br />
match. Fourth-placed Prebbleton<br />
were the big losers in round six after<br />
being hammered 41-14 by BDI.<br />
BDI have been more competitive<br />
in the early stages of the Ellesmere<br />
competition than they were in the<br />
combined country competition, and<br />
have moved up to sixth, just three<br />
points outside the top four.<br />
Rolleston moved themselves away<br />
from the wooden spoon with a 19-10<br />
away victory over West Melton.<br />
On Saturday Hornby try to slay<br />
Goliath when they host Waihora<br />
at Denton Park, Rolleston will host<br />
Southbridge, BDI travel to take on<br />
Darfield and Prebbleton host West<br />
Melton at Prebbleton Oval.<br />

Big future expected<br />
Proud supporters of<br />
Rugby & Netball in <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
for promising Lincoln University first-five<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
RAMEKA POIHIPI became the<br />
latest Lincoln University player<br />
to turn out for the Crusaders<br />
after a surprise call-up to play<br />
the French Barbarians.<br />
Poihipi, 19, moved south to<br />
Christchurch last year after<br />
standout seasons playing at firstfive<br />
for Hamilton Boys’ High<br />
School in 2015 and 2016 which<br />
saw him heralded as one of the<br />
most promising players coming<br />
out of secondary school.<br />
“A big part of the decision was<br />
to be able to both study and play<br />
rugby . . . it’s obviously a really<br />
successful university that has<br />
had some great players come<br />
through,” said Poihipi.<br />
After playing predominantly at<br />
colts level for Lincoln University<br />
last year, he has stepped up<br />
this season and become a key<br />
component of the Hawkins Cup<br />
side. Poihipi was also the leading<br />

scorer during the cup campaign<br />
with 122 points.<br />
That form saw him called<br />
into the Crusaders for a couple<br />
of training sessions where he<br />
made enough of an impression<br />
to make his debut at second-five<br />
for the team against the French<br />
Barbarians on June 15, before<br />
heading to Perth to play the<br />
Western Force.<br />
“I was really surprised . . . I’d<br />
been training with them for<br />
a couple of sessions and just<br />
assumed I was there to make<br />
up numbers, so I was really<br />
honoured when I found out I<br />
was going to be playing,” said<br />
Poihipi.<br />
“It was surreal. You see all<br />
these guys on TV and next<br />
minute you’re rubbing shoulders<br />
with them and being welcomed<br />
into their environment with<br />
open arms.”<br />
On Saturday Poihipi returned<br />
to club duties, playing at firstfive<br />
for Lincoln University in<br />
their 30-15 win over University<br />
to move to the top of Hawkins<br />
Trophy table with just two<br />
rounds remaining before the<br />
semi-finals. However, he only<br />
lasted 30min after suffering a<br />
knee injury.<br />
You only need to look 12<br />
month’s back from that club<br />
final to see the odds of Poihipi<br />
going onto bigger things are in<br />
his favour. The 2016 Lincoln<br />
University team that won<br />
the metro final against New<br />
Brighton consisted of a backline<br />
made up of Jordie Barrett,<br />
Caleb Makene, Jack Goodhue,<br />
Harrison Groundwater, Josh<br />
McKay, Brett Cameron and Ere<br />
Enari.<br />
Since then Barrett and<br />
Goodhue have both gone onto<br />
represent the All Blacks. McKay,<br />
Enari and Cameron have all<br />
played at Super Rugby level,<br />
while Makene and Groundwater<br />
have both played Mitre 10 Cup.<br />
Poihipi also has genetics on his<br />
side. His father – also Rameka<br />
Poihipi – played 61 games at<br />
halfback for the Bay of Plenty<br />
Steamers between 1994 and<br />
2002.<br />
For now Poihipi says he’s<br />
remaining grounded with his<br />
eye on a club title before pushing<br />
his case for game time with<br />
Canterbury in the Mitre 10 Cup.<br />

LINCOLN University pulled off<br />
another come-from-behind win<br />
on Saturday, beating University<br />
30-15 at Ilam in the third round<br />
of section play for the Hawkins<br />
Trophy premier metro rugby<br />
championship.<br />
The UC Vipers sank the fangs<br />
into the Rams twice in the first<br />
half of this intriguing contest,<br />
and led 15-12 at half-time.<br />
The Rams did have a bit of<br />
luck. Two of the tries came<br />
from intercepts, a third from a<br />
charged-down clearing kick.<br />
Lincoln’s first try, just 4min<br />
into the game, was the best of<br />
the match.<br />
From set play – a scrum –<br />
George Stratton smacked into<br />
his marker from second-five,<br />
in spite of the ferocity of the<br />
impact, Stratton off-loaded to<br />
Connor Garden-Bachop, who<br />
had come across from the right<br />
wing.<br />
There was a groan from the<br />
bench as Garden-Bachop, with<br />
Caleb Makene outside him, took<br />
the ball into heavy contact, but<br />
Garden-Bachop rode a double<br />
tackle and slipped the ball away<br />
to Makene, who scored in the<br />
corner.<br />
The second-best try was scored<br />
by University’s Brayden Ennor,<br />
who hit a short pass at full tilt<br />
from 45m out and had the pace<br />
to go all the way.<br />
The clash between Ennor and<br />
Lincoln’s Ngane Punivai, back<br />
from New Zealand under-20<br />
duties, shaped as a beauty. But<br />
Ennor was taken off at half-time<br />
and Punivai finally succumbed<br />
to a leg knock later.<br />
That brought George Stratton<br />
back after a very short substitution<br />
break.<br />
Stratton continued to amaze.<br />
He hurled himself into the fray<br />
on attack and defence, no matter<br />
how large the obstacle in front<br />
of him. No 7 Connor Gordon<br />
was in similar form as a human<br />
dynamo and won the top accolade<br />
from the coaches, just ahead<br />
of the abrasive, non-stop John<br />
Borland.<br />
University gave it a good shot<br />
for a fair chunk of the match.<br />
With players like Ennor and<br />
Seamus Bardoul in midfield,<br />
plus captain Sam Godwin in<br />
the No 6 jersey, the Vipers<br />
can’t be taken lightly. No 8<br />
Matthew Letoga scored a good<br />
try as part of a useful all-round<br />
performance.<br />
There was some concern for<br />
the Rams when Rameka Poihipi<br />
was carried off with a knee<br />
injury at the 30min mark.<br />
Support staff seem more sure<br />
this time that Brett Cameron<br />
will be ready on Saturday when<br />
the Rams take on New Brighton<br />
at home.<br />

West Melton Kindergarten,<br />
Nursery and Learning Centre<br />
The West Melton Learning Centre<br />
Kaiako and tamariki for the last couple of<br />
months, have been focusing on learning<br />
all about people who help us and keep us<br />
safe, not only in our own community but<br />
other professions within our society who<br />
might help us too. We took a walk around<br />
our local area, visiting the people in the<br />
shopping centre, who made our large group<br />
of children feel very welcome.<br />
We enjoyed numerous visitors into the<br />
centre including two police officers that<br />
brought a car and motorbike with them.<br />
The tamariki had a turn in the car turning<br />
on the siren and sitting on the bike. We<br />
had a visit from an ambulance officer with<br />
an ambulance also, which was so valuable<br />
for the tamariki to have a good look inside<br />
and hear how the St John officer might help<br />
them. Finally, we invited two volunteer<br />
firefighters’. We learnt all about how to keep<br />
safe and enjoyed trying on the huge fire<br />
helmets and equipment too.<br />
The tamariki have also been learning<br />
about other professions who might help<br />
them too such as optometrist, surf lifesaving,<br />
dentist, doctors, nurses, nutritionist<br />
etc, learning about real life roles and<br />
opportunities for children to share their<br />
experiences.<br />
All of these discussions have been so<br />
valuable to the tamariki and have given<br />
them an insight into what all these services<br />
do within our community and how they<br />
can help us. Having the opportunity to<br />
discuss and have their questions answered<br />
have allowed the tamariki to explore,<br />
discover and make sense of the community<br />
around them and make connections and<br />
links to the wider world too. Thank you<br />
to all the local businesses and people who<br />
have visited us.<br />

West Melton section<br />
demand strong<br />
The popularity of sections in the 2000m2 to 2500m2<br />
range has been so great that Wilfield subdivision<br />
in West Melton has reconfigured its stage plan to<br />
incorporate more in this size bracket.<br />
Launched in 2015, Wilfield offers sections<br />
that range from 900m2 up to 6500m2 with<br />
prices starting at $245,000.<br />
Hamish Wheelans, director of Gillman<br />
Wheelans, developer of the subdivision,<br />
said that demand in the subdivision has<br />
been across the board, both in size of<br />
sections purchased and buyer demographic.<br />
“There has been strong demand for the<br />
900m2 to 1500m2 sections as well as our<br />
biggest offerings, but it is in this 2000m2 to<br />
2500m2 range where present demand lies,”<br />
he said.<br />
Wilfield has proven extremely popular<br />
with purchasers since launch, with 130<br />
sections having been sold in less than three<br />
years. This has seen the development of an<br />
adventure playground and tennis court as<br />
well as the recent opening of a new preschool.<br />
“The growth of Wilfield and our<br />
neighbouring subdivision of Preston<br />
Downs is synonymous with the growth<br />
of West Melton since the Christchurch<br />
earthquakes. As well as the new retail<br />
area, the West Melton Community<br />
and Recreation Centre is scheduled for<br />
completion later this year. As a sponsor of<br />
the Centre, we are looking forward to that<br />
date as we know it will become a focal point<br />
for the community,” he said.<br />
The Wilfield sales office is open every<br />
Wednesday and Sunday, 1pm to 3pm.<br />
If you are coming from Christchurch<br />
on West Coast Rd, there are signs as<br />
you approach West Melton providing<br />

New bulk cartage business<br />
servicing <strong>Selwyn</strong> District<br />
In October last year, two <strong>Selwyn</strong> residents with long-term experience in operational<br />
management roles in the transport industry decided to join forces and set up their own<br />
transport company to service the district.<br />
Steve Menzies and Tony Howe purchased four trucks from Taylor Contractors and<br />
established their new Rolleston-based company, Transcon Ltd, to provide bulk cartage of<br />
grains, fertilisers and stock foods to the farming sector in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District, and across<br />
Canterbury.<br />
“We decided to do it for ourselves,” says Steve, which has proved to be a good decision.<br />
Business has taken off, and this has seen the company fleet being expanded to seven<br />
trucks.<br />
Also, within just the last few weeks, Transcon has added a new service – mini readymix,<br />
which provides concrete loads of up to three metres for smaller rural and residential jobs<br />
such as driveways, paths, shed foundations and fencing.<br />
“All concrete is batched on site so can meet the customer’s desired specification. Our<br />
ready mix operation can operate 24/7 to suit when you want concrete,” Steve says.<br />
Transcon employs four full-time staff members, who are from the area, and Steve and<br />
Tony are very pleased to be providing jobs and servicing their local region with a fast and<br />
efficient cartage service.<br />
For further information<br />

Lamb leads boost<br />
in meat exports<br />
The value of lamb exports hit a new<br />
record of $369 million in May <strong>2018</strong>,<br />
Statistics NZ announced last Wednesday,<br />
with higher prices and more quantities of<br />
lamb exported boosting the May level. The<br />
previous high for lamb exports was $340<br />
million in February 2009.<br />
“It has been a strong month for meat<br />
exports in general, with both lamb and<br />
beef increasing in quantities,” international<br />
statistics manager Tehseen Islam said. Meat<br />
exports were up $119 million (17 per cent)<br />
to $812 million. Quantity was also up 12<br />
per cent.<br />
Lamb exports were the biggest<br />
contributor to the rise in meat, with value<br />
up $89 million (32 per cent) and quantity<br />
up 22 per cent. Exports of lamb were up to<br />
all major markets, including China and the<br />
European Union.<br />
Beef exports were up $16 million (4.5 per<br />
cent) to $359 million, with more exports to<br />
China. This increase was partly offset by a<br />
fall to the United States.<br />
Overall exports were up $509 million (10<br />
per cent) to $5.4 billion, with meat exports<br />
having the largest increase. This exports<br />
total is the second highest for any month.<br />
The highest exports total was $5.5 billion in<br />
December 2017.<br />
Forestry products had the second-largest<br />
increase in exports, up $99 million (26 per<br />
cent) to $477 million. The largest increases<br />
were to China, Singapore, and Hong Kong.<br />

Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi<br />
SELWYN TIMES<br />
Top tips for planting over winter<br />
In the midst of winter, Rachel Vogan provides a<br />
few top growing tips<br />
COLD NIGHTS and clear days<br />
are good for the garden. Plus,<br />
the frosts that kill many insect<br />
and bug problems are generally<br />
followed by a sunny day, making<br />
clean-up and pruning tasks<br />
rather pleasant.<br />
Over the next few weeks<br />
pruning should be front of<br />
mind; a good winter clean-up<br />
now will pay dividends in the<br />
upcoming season. The basics<br />
of pruning and cutting back<br />
is to limit the size of the plant,<br />
which allows more light and<br />
air movement into the plant’s<br />
centre, and to always remove<br />
any damaged or diseased limbs.<br />
Don’t be afraid to use your<br />
loppers liberally.<br />
Another focus can be any<br />
trees, shrubs or roses that are<br />
in the wrong spot. These can be<br />
moved now, just remember to<br />
dig the new hole first or have any<br />
pots ready and waiting.<br />
Vegetables<br />
Parsnips should be on the<br />
menu now as a winter staple. Did<br />
you know that you do not need<br />
to harvest them all at once? Once<br />
they mature they can be left in<br />
the ground until mid-spring,<br />
saving you room in the fridge.<br />
This crop can only be grown<br />
from seed sown in October or<br />
November, while the soil is still<br />
cool.<br />
Keep planting garlic. Hunt<br />
out the fattest cloves you can<br />
find and aim to get them in<br />
the ground as soon as possible.<br />
Seedlings will appear in the<br />
shops soon as well.<br />
Spring onions, spinach, winter<br />
lettuce and mustard can all be<br />
transplanted into the ground<br />
now too.<br />
Crop cover<br />
Just like humans, parts of the<br />
garden like a little protection<br />
from the cold elements. Frost<br />
cloth is a good option to cover<br />
up tender citrus and climbers,<br />
and portable cloches and<br />
vegetable frames take the chill off<br />
the soil to speed up the growing<br />
process of many winter edible<br />
crops. Crop frames are easy to<br />
make from materials you may<br />
have at home. Net curtains work<br />
well when stretched between<br />
bamboo canes or if you have old<br />
windows about the place, prop<br />
these up on some bricks or slabs<br />
to offer protection.<br />
Water features<br />
At this time of year, algae<br />
can quickly build up in water<br />
gardens, mostly because of<br />
fallen leaves. Remove leaves as<br />
soon as they fall to help control<br />
the problem. Now is also a<br />
good time to empty ponds and<br />
features that are small enough to<br />
do so.<br />
Once empty, allow to fully<br />
dry out and treat the area with a<br />
pre-algae treatment, which you<br />
will find in the garden centres.<br />
In cold areas, float a ball in the<br />
water to prevent small ponds and<br />
features from freezing.<br />
Fruit trees<br />
Plant bare-rooted trees now.<br />
<strong>July</strong> and August are some of<br />
the best months of the year to<br />
plant deciduous fruit trees like<br />
apples, peaches, pears, apricots,<br />
cherries, plums and nectarines.<br />
They cope better with planting<br />
out as the plants are in a state of<br />
dormancy, limiting transplant<br />
shock, which can happen if<br />
planted in the warmer months.<br />
For gardens where space is<br />
limited, consider planting<br />
double or triple-grafted fruit<br />
trees, this not only saves space<br />
but allows you to enjoy a wider<br />
variety of harvest.<br />
Seeds, seeds and more seeds<br />
On those cold days when<br />
venturing outdoors isn’t an<br />
option, start thinking about<br />
what crops you want to grow in<br />
this upcoming season. All the<br />
seed catalogues are out now, and<br />
available online.<br />
It’s also a good time to stock<br />
up on seed-sowing essentials<br />
like seed-raising mix, seedling<br />
trays and labels, etc.<br />
A good idea is to share seeds<br />
with friends – often I find there<br />
are too many seeds for just my<br />
garden so passing around excess<br />
plants or seeds with others saves<br />
space and time, and makes it<br />
fun too.<br />

Building blocks<br />
to a new home<br />
As Cantabrians continue to move forward, when building<br />
a new home, here’s a reminder to pay attention to some of<br />
the fine details...<br />
Anyone intending to build a new home<br />
should have the builder’s contract<br />
checked out by an experienced lawyer.<br />
A payment schedule can also<br />
minimise financial risks. Issues that<br />
you may have to deal with include:<br />
the deposit, guarantees and warranties<br />
If you want to compare building<br />
companies, it’s important to get down<br />
to finer details such as how many<br />
power points there are per room, the<br />
type of windows you are having or<br />
which paint finishes are included.<br />
Questions to ask<br />
builders include:<br />
• Do you have a completion guarantee<br />
and how does it work?<br />
• Is there a loss of deposit<br />
guarantee?<br />
• Is the company a<br />
Registered Master Builder<br />
and does it use thirdparty<br />
written guarantees?<br />
• What is the schedule for<br />
payments?<br />
• How are the deposit and<br />
progress payments<br />
administered?<br />
• Are they held in a solicitor’s trust<br />
fund?<br />
• Will the master franchisor complete<br />
the build if the franchisee goes out<br />
of business<br />
• What are the exact specs?<br />
• Are the prices fixed?<br />
• What is excluded from the build?<br />
• Are there any restrictions on<br />
driveways or any other connections?<br />
• Can you speak with clients who<br />
have just completed a build?<br />
Do your homework before you decide<br />
on a building company and you will<br />
have a less stressful time once the<br />
building process starts.

Road in Faringdon, is one of several<br />
Peter Ray Show Homes in the<br />
Christchurch area. It is a 205 m2<br />
(floor area), plaster and cedar exterior,<br />
contemporary home with three<br />
bedrooms, two bathrooms and two<br />
living areas.<br />
From the raised ceiling entrance,<br />
the Statham opens to a large living<br />
space and dining area, with plenty of<br />
natural light and access to outdoors.<br />
Another living space to relax in, with<br />
ceiling bulkhead, is accessed via doors<br />
off the living area.<br />
The kitchen is central to the<br />
spacious living and dining areas.<br />
Roomy and well-appointed, it is ideal<br />
for entertaining, with easy access<br />
to the outdoors, or for seating the<br />
children with snacks at the grand,<br />
long island. The walk-in pantry is very<br />
generous with lots of shelf and bench<br />
space. A study nook in the dining area<br />
is far enough away from the action for<br />
some quiet, but still within the main<br />
living area, and close to the fridge.<br />
Off the short hallway are two very<br />
generous sized bedrooms, each<br />
with sizeable wardrobes, the family<br />
bathroom and separate toilet, and<br />
laundry with plenty of storage space.<br />
The master bedroom receives lots<br />
of light via sliding doors and feature<br />
windows. A large walk-in wardrobe<br />
is actually a ‘walk-through’ to the en<br />
suite.<br />
Attention to detail sets this show<br />
home apart from many others. The<br />
feature wallpaper in the second living<br />
room; vinyl plank – ‘Country Oak’<br />
– flooring throughout the kitchen,<br />
bathroom and laundry; soft-close<br />
cabinets; acrylic edge counter tops;<br />
raised garden beds and practical<br />
landscaping and decking – these<br />
represent well the design and build<br />
quality Peter Ray Homes is known for.<br />
As with all Peter Ray Homes<br />
designs, changes can be made to this<br />
design to suit, or the design team<br />
will work with you to produce an<br />
individual design to suit you and your<br />
section. If you don’t have a section,<br />
they can also help find the best one<br />
for you.<br />
The Statham Show Home in<br />
Faringdon is a great example of the<br />
quality Peter Ray Homes clients<br />
can expect. It is open 7 days, 12 till<br />
4 o’clock. All the house designs are<br />

Should I buy an apartment?<br />
13<br />
Apartments are springing up<br />
everywhere. In the year ended March 31,<br />
building consents for new apartments<br />
rose nearly 28 per cent. The majority<br />
of first home buyers may still prefer<br />
houses (research by CoreLogic earlier<br />
this year found that about 10 per cent of<br />
apartments were sold to people buying<br />
their first home), this number may rise as<br />
the housing landscape changes.<br />
Buying an apartment or townhouse<br />
can be an affordable way to live close to a<br />
city centre or other popular areas where<br />
standalone houses can be expensive.<br />
Recent research by the Real Estate<br />
Institute of New Zealand (REINZ)<br />
found that apartments presented a more<br />
economical option if you want to live in<br />
sought-after areas like Parnell or Epsom<br />
in Auckland, or Mount Victoria and<br />
Thorndon in Wellington.<br />
Apartments may seem like a lowmaintenance<br />
choice – no exterior walls to<br />
paint or lawns to mow – but they come<br />
with their own particular set of issues to<br />
consider. In most cases, apartments are<br />
held in unit title ownership. This means<br />
you own the apartment or unit and any<br />
‘accessory units’, like garages, car parks,<br />
private courtyards and storage areas<br />
contained in the record of title. Don’t<br />
assume that a car park is included unless<br />
it is specifically included – if there is one<br />
it may have a separate title and need to<br />
be purchased separately. You also own<br />
an undivided share of the ownership of<br />
the common property (eg lifts, laundries,<br />
lobby areas, driveways and gardens).<br />
Becoming a unit title holder means<br />
you automatically become a member of<br />
the body corporate, which consists of all<br />
the unit owners acting as a group. The<br />
body corporate handles the management<br />
and upkeep of the building and property,<br />
in return for all the members paying<br />
annual fees. These fees will probably<br />
include budgeted costs like insurance and<br />
management expenses, contributing to<br />
a long-term maintenance fund (LTMF)<br />
and any services the body corporate<br />
arranges for its members (such as rubbish<br />
collection and cleaning communal areas).<br />
Body corporate costs that have not been<br />
included in the budget are also payable<br />
by the unit owners, usually by way of a<br />
special levy.<br />
We strongly recommend asking a<br />
lawyer to help you understand the body<br />
corporate rules which set out your<br />
obligations and what you can or cannot<br />
do with your apartment.<br />
When you are looking at properties, ask<br />
the real estate agent to give you copies of<br />
the long-term maintenance plan (LTMP)<br />
and the building fund, along with copies<br />
of the body corporate meeting minutes<br />
from the past 12 months to understand<br />
the key issues and concerns. For example,<br />
is there enough money to pay to upgrade<br />
the lifts or repaint the complex? These<br />
can cost from tens to hundreds of<br />
thousands of dollars. Ask too about the<br />
building’s contingency plan, as there may<br />
be additional costs in addition to the<br />
building levies.<br />
Check that all the owners’ levies are up<br />
to date and that the accounts are audited.<br />
Read the details of the insurance policy.<br />
Is the body corporate involved in any<br />
proceedings against a third party, and are<br />
there any weather-tightness issues with<br />
the building? Check if an apartment or<br />
townhouse comes with a parking spot, or<br />
whether you will need to purchase this on<br />
a separate title.<br />
Body corporate rules are also likely to<br />
specify how an apartment is used and<br />
who can live in it, which may have an<br />
impact on any future plans you have for<br />
the apartment. Some body corporate rules<br />
extend to visitors to the property, such as<br />
the hours they can be on site and where<br />
they can park.<br />
While many apartment complexes<br />
develop into tightly-knit communities,<br />
living so close to others is not for<br />
everyone. Consider the amount of sound<br />
proofing the apartment has and find out<br />
what sort of people live there. If you play<br />
the drums in a thrash metal band on the<br />
weekends, a complex filled with retirees<br />
may not be the best choice.<br />

Making the most of<br />
show home viewing<br />
Looking through show homes is a great way to get ideas for<br />
features and fittings to put into a new home. It can also be helpful<br />
for getting a spatial feel for other aspects of a house design.<br />
Before heading out for a day’s<br />
viewing, conduct an internet search.<br />
identify the locations of show home<br />
villages and the types and sizes of the<br />
various building company’s homes on<br />
display, noting down the square metre<br />
size of each home.<br />
if wanting a high end, architectural<br />
design, focus on the larger homes that<br />
have desirable design features. if at the<br />
entry or middle level of the market,<br />
earmark homes that fit this taking in<br />
other show homes for extra ideas.<br />
allow sufficient time when visiting each<br />
show home, asking for a floor plan that<br />
has room sizes before walking through.<br />
Check also the floor to ceiling height<br />
of the rooms and consider how this feels<br />
and whether you prefer a cosier feel with<br />
the standard ceiling eight of 2.4 metres or<br />
more spaciousness created with a higher<br />
stud or exposed ceiling beams.<br />
if doors and windows are taller than<br />
normal, weigh their effect in creating<br />
a more luxurious and spacious feel,<br />
against potential inconvenience for small<br />
children, cleaning and maintenance.<br />
on entering each room, take account of<br />
how much furniture is in each room and<br />
whether there is sufficient space for the<br />
furniture you will have in the room and<br />
the size needed in a walk-in robe. Look<br />
too, at storage capacity throughout the<br />
home and whether this is adequate.<br />
in the living areas, consider whether a<br />
lounge separated from the family living<br />
room or a true open plan kitchen, dining,<br />
living/lounge area is preferable, and<br />
compare internal kitchens with those that<br />
have natural light.<br />
Look too at the layout of<br />
the kitchen: whether to have<br />
an island sink or breakfast<br />
bar where a newspaper can<br />
be read, and children can<br />
sit and draw or complete<br />
homework; the positioning<br />
of appliances; and how<br />
important having a pantry is.<br />
for the little rooms, equate<br />
space and features desired<br />
with that needed, especially<br />
if the budget needs to be<br />
sharp. it might be nice to<br />
have a large walk-in shower<br />
with double shower heads<br />
but is this just fanciful and<br />
will the extra cleaning annoy you long<br />
term. a laundry in the garage is also more<br />
economical though a separate laundry<br />
may be handier.<br />
Bring the garage size into the equation<br />
also. as these vary considerably, assess<br />
the actual measurements of each garage<br />
viewed comparing this with the space<br />
needed for your motor vehicles and other<br />
items to be stored there. if a good number<br />
of toys will be housed there, it may be<br />
sensible to increase the size of this area of<br />
the home.<br />
By imagining what you need, want and<br />
will have in your new home, you will be in<br />
a better position to confidently choose a<br />
design that works for you.<br />
