her career at the university as a 

chef in February 1987. 

But on Friday, her journey at 

the university will come to an 

end as Mrs Watson takes off her 

apron for the last time. 

She says spending more time 

with family and her husband of 

more than 40 years, Trevor, is 

behind the decision. 

“Well 31 years is a long time 

and it’s time to move on and be 

with family. I’ve got five grandchildren,” 

Mrs Watson said. 

She plans to have three 

months off “doing nothing” 

before deciding what her next 

move will be. 

MILESTONE: Heather Watson 

will finish up on Friday after 

31 years catering at Lincoln 

University. 

Mrs Watson has “really, really 

enjoyed” her time at the university 

and says she will miss the 

students and staff. 

For 18 years, Mrs Watson’s 

role as the catering manager has 

seen her manage all the menus, 

staff and organise “everything.”

ANOTHER DRINK driver has 

escaped injury after a spectacular 

crash. 

A 34-year-old who was almost 

four times the drink driving limit 

rolled his van in Killinchy near 

Leeston on Thursday night. 

It is the third crash involving 

drink drivers in the Leeston area 

in three months. 

Sergeant Alex Pickover said the 

man’s vehicle drifted off the road 

and hit some raised land, causing 

it to roll. 

He said the man, who lives in 

the district, had been drinking 

at a friend’s house prior to the 

accident. 

The crash happened on 

Harmans and Andersons Rds at 

about 10pm. 

The man’s recorded breath 

alcohol reading was 968mcg/l. 

The legal limit is 250mcg/l. 

The man will appear in the 

Christchurch District Court on 

charges of drink driving and 

careless driving.

BOOZING DRIVERS and wandering 

stock – they seem to be the two hazards to 

watch out for at the moment. 

On page 1 today we report on another 

well-over-the-limit driver who has rolled 

his vehicle. It is the third spectacular (if that’s the right word) 

crash involving booze in the Leeston area in the past few 

months. 

A wit might say there is something in the water out that way. 

Hops, predominately. 

And a motorist has struck a cow for the second time in a fortnight

The female driver is in hospital with fairly serious injuries.

Open day labelled 

• By Anan Zaki 

AN anti-Templeton quarry 

campaigner is labelling a Fulton 

Hogan open day as a publicity 

stunt. 

The company is holding a family 

day at its Miners Rd quarry 

on Sunday, opening the site for 

visitors. 

Fulton Hogan 

has proposed 

a quarry on a 

170ha site on 

Curraghs, Dawsons 

and Jones 

Rds. 

Curraghs Rd 

Simon Moore 

Craig Stewart 

resident and 

Templeton- 

No Quarry 

member Simon 

Moore said the 

event is “propaganda.” 

“I know what 

they do there 

and I can see 

the results of it. 

Even on a clear 

day with no 

wind, I can see the dust from the 

Miners Rd quarry,” he said. 

In response to the allegation, 

Fulton Hogan South Island 

general manager Craig Stewart 

said the event is being held to 

teach people about the quarrying 

process and where building 

materials come from. 

“For our staff, it is an excellent 

opportunity for them to share 

with their families the work 

they take such pride in delivering. 

“For the wider community, this 

is the opportunity for them to get 

a first-hand experience of the operations 

of a quarry – and have a 

day out for the family at the same 

time,” he said. 

Mr Moore said a quarry would 

INTERNATIONAL 

be the last place he would set 

foot in. 

“Like I’ve said before, there is a 

place [in New Zealand] 

for quarrying, just not near 

houses.” 

He will not resort to protesting 

at the event. 

“I’m not going to be there, I 

won’t be lying down blocking the 

trucks, that’s not me,” Mr Moore 

said. 

It is the first time the 

company is holding a public 

family day, past events were only 

open to families of company 

staff.

Stewart said. 

Meanwhile, the company is 

continuing to work on submitting

Firefighters were called to a

BASKETBALL HOOP REVIEW 

The district council has spent 

$17,000 conducting a review on 

basketball hoops in the district. 

The hoops were investigated 

after an incident in Auckland 

where a teenager was badly 

injured when a basketball tower 

collapsed on them. District 

council reserves operations 

manager Jonathan Crawford 

said a sub-contractor was in 

charge of reviewing the hoops 

and making sure they were up 

to standard. Nine out of 16 

basketball hoops failed. Many 

of the hoops are connected to 

a backboard which is an 

automatic fail due to the 

high risk of pull out or pull 

down if someone was to swing 

from it.

A MOTORIST is seriously ill in 

hospital after she collided with a 

cow in Burnham. 

The 27-year-old suffered serious 

injuries in the Grange Rd crash at 

12.50am on Thursday. 

It is the second time a vehicle 

has hit wandering stock in 

two weeks. 

On July 12, former mayor 

Bill Woods and his two 

passengers were lucky to escape 

serious injury after his 

Mercedes-Benz, travelling 

at about 100km/h, collided 

with a cow. 

Mr Woods was returning 

to Springfield from Christchurch 

Airport when he hit the cow in 

the middle of Old West Coast Rd 

near Waddington. 

His Mercedes-Benz B200 was 

moderately damaged and the cow 

was killed. 

A police spokeswoman said 

after hitting the cow, the vehicle 

the woman was driving “left the

Former mayor

crashed his 

two-year-old

Thursday. 

Car v cow again

the crash. 

The woman, who was the sole 

occupant of the vehicle, was 

taken to hospital and the cow 

died at the scene. 

The police spokeswoman said 

the Ford sedan she was driving 

was badly damaged. 

Senior Sergeant Pete Stills 

said road accidents with 

cows were a “good reason” 

for motorists to keep their 

speed down. 

“Hit a horse or a cow at 

speed and you’re in trouble 

because all you do is take 

their legs out and they come 

up the bonnet through your 

windscreen often,” he said. 

District council senior animal 

control officer Steve Clarke said 

there were two road incidents 

involving cattle between July 1, 

2016, and June 30, 2017. He said 

this doubled between July 1, 2017,

Changes to SH1, Rolleston Drive 


CHANGES COULD be made 

to the busy Rolleston Drive and 

State Highway 1 intersection to 

stop traffic poles being hit by 

vehicles. 

The intersection, 

which has about 25,000 

to 30,000 vehicles drive 

through it each day, has 

had 17 incidents where 

traffic poles have been 

damaged in the past 11 

years. 

Senior Sergeant Pete

are “generally” caused 

by people failing to give way to

ACCIDENTS: Police, the district 

council and the NZTA are 

looking at ways to make the 

intersection of Rolleston Drive 

and State Highway 1 safer. 

Senior Sergeant Stills said police 

are in consultation with the 

New Zealand Transport Agency 

and the district council over 

proposed prevention and safety 

changes to the intersection. 

He said it includes the possibility 

of having a right 

turning arrow for vehicles 

heading north on State 

Highway 1, turning into 

Rolleston Drive. 

“And also potentially just 

some warning signage for 

left turning traffic being 

aware of vehicles coming 

from their right,” Senior Sergeant 

Stills said. 

However, he said a date has 

not been set for when the proposed 

changes could take place.

13 traffic poles, including five in 

the past three months, have had 

to be replaced due to “accident 

damage.” 

The spokeswoman said the 

cost to replace the poles depends 

on the extent of damage 

and location of the pole. 

“Traffic poles can cost thousands 

of dollars to replace . . . 

anything between $5000 and 

$10,000,” she said. 

However, the spokeswoman 

said “where possible” repair 

costs are recovered from the 

person responsible for the damage 

or their insurer. 

She said it generally installs 

socket foundations on poles 

which have a history of accident 

damage to reduce the cost of 

future replacement.

Fire rages, homes at risk 

ON SALE: A $595,000 house in Branthwaite Drive, Rolleston (left), Olympus Tce, Castle Hill, and Horndon St, Darfield (below). The district’s median house price was 

$595,000 last month. 

House prices on the rise in Selwyn 

Houses in the district 

hit a record median 

price of $595,000 last 

month. Emily O’Connell 

investigates why this 

has happened and what 

house hunters can get for 

their money 

NOT ONLY is the district’s 

population growing, but so is its 

house prices. 

Figures released by the Real 

Estate Institute of New Zealand 

last week showed the median 

house price in the district had 

risen from 

$580,000 in 

June last year 

to $595,000 in 

June this year. 

About 59,000 

people currently 

live in 

the district and 

James Twiss 

this number 

is expected to 

grow to 79,200 

by 2028. 

Four Seasons principal officer 

James Twiss, who is opening a 

Harcourts office in Lincoln in 

September, put June’s median 

house price of $595,000 mostly 

down to new builds. 

“You’ll find there’s been a lot of 

new housing stocks going up 

. . . even though it seems high, for 

new properties, it still suggests 

its value for what you can get for 

that price verses the city,” he said. 

Seventy-five houses were sold 

in the district in June, 18 less than 

the month before. However, it was 

an increase from June last year 

when just 43 houses were sold. 

The median days to sell a house 

in the district last month was 32, 

this has increased from June last 

year, where it was 17. 

When compared to other 

Canterbury districts, Selwyn had 

the second highest median house 

price last month. 

The Mackenzie District had the 

highest median house price last 

month at $597,000. 

Ashburton sat at $327,000, 

Christchurch city $430,000 and 

Waimakariri, $441,000. 

In Darfield, house-hunters can 

purchase a 254 sq m four-bedroom, 

two-bathroom house, with 

a 0.57ha property for $595,000. 

The median house price in Darfield 

last month was $399,000. 

In Rolleston, house-hunters 

will get a smaller 204 sq m fourbedroom, 

two-bathroom house, 

on a 668 sq m property for the 

same price. The median house 

price in Rolleston last month was 

$560,000. 

In Lincoln, people wanting to 

buy a house can get a 192 sq m 

four-bedroom, two-bathroom 

house on a 600 sq m property 

for $593,771. The median house 

price in Lincoln last month was 

$610,000. 

In Castle Hill, a 125 sq m 

three-bedroom, two-bathroom 

house on a 588 sq m property is 

priced at $595,000. The median 

house price in Castle Hill was 

unavailable as there was only one 

sale in the village in the past year. 

Mr Twiss said they made the 

decision to open an office in 

Lincoln following district council 

statistics which showed the predicted 

growth in the area. 

“Seven thousand five hundred 

people with a reasonably active 

real estate market was an obvious 

place to put an office, but the fact 

there’s potential growth in there 

also was something that sort of 

interested us,” he said. 

Mr Twiss said most househunters 

in Lincoln tend to be 

families who are looking for 

four-bedroom, two-bathroom 

houses. 

FAST FACTS 

•Last month the median 

house price across the 

country rose by 5.7 per 

cent to a record equal 

median of $560,000 up 

from $530,000 the same 

time last year. 

•The New Zealand 

excluding Auckland 

median house price 

remained at a recordequalling 

figure of 

$460,000 in June, up 7 per 

cent on June 2017. 

•Auckland’s median house 

price decreased by 0.7 

per cent year-on-year 

to $850,000 down from 

$856,000 last year. 

•The number of properties 

sold across the country 

decreased by 1.6 per cent 

to 6034, down from 6131 in 

June 2017. 

He believes house prices in the 

district will “creek slightly without 

jumping like they have in the 

last five years.” 

REINZ regional director Jim 

Davis said the Canterbury market 

looks to be stable for the next 

few months. 

“It will likely go towards an 

even more active spring market 

with buyer inquiry continuing 

to increase. Hopefully listing 

numbers will remain strong 

throughout the rest of winter as 

well,” he said.

Our People 

Passion for performing earns 

Rolleston resident Caelan Thomas’ passion for theatre has earned him a nomination in the Selwyn Awards 2018 People’s Choice. The 

19-year-old pianist has been involved with the Kirwee Players and is the musical director of the Selwyn Community Choir. He spoke to 

Georgia O’Connor- Harding about his passion for performing 

What did you think when you 

found out you were nominated 

for the Selwyn Awards 2018 

People’s Choice? 

It is incredible. It is amazing – 

I am honoured. I feel lucky I get 

to spend as much time as I do 

pursuing the things I love. 

Is this your full-time job at 

the moment? 

I am studying. I am just 

about to start my final 

semester in a Bachelor 

of Science majoring in 

maths at Canterbury 

University. I have been 

there for two and a half 

years and I am finishing 

off my last semester. I was 

thinking of going into 

mathematics or doing 

computer science. An 

IT job or something 

like that. I did 

think about 

doing 

music 

at 

university, but I wanted to keep 

it as something I do because I 

love it – not as a job I had to do. I 

didn’t want to kill the passion. 

Tell me about how you got involved 

in the performing arts? 

I got involved with the Kirwee 

Players in 2015. I was in 

my final year 

of school. 

My 

music 

teacher 

was 

the 

musical 

director 

for Grease, 

which was 

the show 

they were 

doing and 

they needed 

a piano player. 

I wasn’t quite sure 

if it was something I 

wanted to get into, so I 

agreed to just a couple 

of rehearsals with them 

to see how I found it 

and I ended up falling in 

love with it and haven’t 

looked back. I am doing 

my fourth show with 

the Kirwee Players this year on 

the piano. I have done a couple 

of kids’ shows over the past two 

years. Also, at the end of the 

year, I am playing the piano for 

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor 

Dreamcoat with the new 

theatre company CentreStage 

Rolleston. We had auditions 

recently. We had about 40 kids 

come and audition and about 35 

adults. 

There are a huge amount of 

opportunities in Christchurch. 

Why do you choose to be involved 

in the performing arts 

in Selwyn? 

I guess it is my home. It is part 

of the community 

I am in. It is cool to be able 

to provide those opportunities 

for the people I live with in the 

community, especially opportunities 

for kids to get involved. 

It is a lifetime thing that really 

sticks with you. 

Do you have any special early 

memories of you playing the 

piano? 

I have been playing for about 

as long as I can remember. I 

started out at about four with 

mum. And then after a few 

months, mum got me a teacher 

because I stopped listening 

to her. 

No memory really sticks out. 

It used to be something I did 

every morning. It was part of my 

morning routine – basically at 

7am, mum and dad said I could 

set my clock by it. It was part of 

my morning routine. It is something 

you have got to do over a 

long period of time. 

What is your favourite piece 

on the piano? 

I really like Clair de Lune. So 

moving. It took probably six 

months for me to master.

of people who love singing. We have had 

some real success this year. I was really 

proud of our performance at the Rolleston 

Anzac Day service. We have been asked to 

perform at the dawn service for Christchurch’s 

Anzac Day next year. All these 

doors are opening for the choir. 

What songs are you planning to sing? 

We are planning to do Bring Him Home, 

originally from Les Misérables. It is a fitting 

song for the occasion. 

What else is coming up for the choir? 

We are performing for our family and 

friends at The Piano on August 12. That is 

the big new venue in town. Really looking 

forward to performing at a high-quality 

venue made for music really. And then on 

November 11 for Armistice Day, we have a 

performance. 

What are the ages of the choir? 

Our youngest is aged 14-15 ranging to 

80 or 90-plus. Between the Darfield and 

Rolleston group, we have 50-60 members. 

It is non-audition, so anyone can show 

up if they are keen which is really cool. It 

makes it a really inclusive thing which I 

like about it. It was originally started up 

by a lady called Belinda Cullen- Reid. Unfortunately 

she had to resign last year and 

that is when I became involved. I think 

when we started, we might have only had 

20-25 people. It has been growing and 

growing. 

Do you have a musical family? 

Mum is very musical, dad is not very 

musical at all. He is kind of dragged to a 

lot of musical performances. But my sister 

is also very musical as well. It has been a 

big part of our lives growing up. 

Was your passion for the performing 

arts always supported by friends and 

family? 

Yes, I did a couple of shows in high 

school. I was involved in High School 

Musical at Lincoln High School. I had 

an amazing piano teacher called Beth 

Keoghan. She always provided me with 

as much music as I could possibly hope to 

play. Just different styles and variety. 

What are your goals in terms of helping 

the performing arts thrive in the 

future? 

I am involved in the committee for 

CentreStage Rolleston and we are going to 

be running some kids’ shows as well. I am 

GIFTED: Caelan Thomas directing 

the Selwyn Community Choir at the 

Rolleston Anzac Day service. 

looking forward to holiday programmes. 

I am inspired by children’s theatre. The 

passion they bring to the stage is addicting. 

To watch them grow and perform as 

singers and dancers is incredibly fulfilling 

and something I would like to pursue in 

the future. 

Have you always lived in Selwyn? 

I was born in Wellington and spent six 

months there and then I moved to Selwyn 

so I have spent most of my life here. 

What is the best production you have 

ever been involved in? 

I really loved when we did Annie out at 

the Kirwee Players. We had a really talented 

cast which pushed me as the musical 

director to provide feedback and push the 

kids harder than I have in any other show. 

We sold out all our performances for that. 

Have you ever had an absolute disaster 

on the stage? 

There has been a few rehearsals that go 

badly or where we have technical problems. 

On the whole, I don’t think I have 

had any crazy disasters but I suspect one 

day we will run into that, which will make 

a great story I am sure. 

What are the challenges Selwyn performers 

are facing? 

I think the biggest problem is the lack of 

a venue. It would be really useful to have 

a good theatre venue and practice spaces 

as well. Hopefully, over the next five to 10 

years we can work with council groups 

and local groups. I think that would be the 

biggest challenge at the moment.

Waihora Zone 

Committee 

chairman Allen 

Lim writes 

about its 

commitment to 

protecting and 

enhancing biodiversity 

DID YOU know that biodiversity 

work in our zone is a 

significant part of the zone committee’s 

decision-making? 

Since 2010, we have funded 52 

‘immediate steps’ projects from a 

fund of $100,000 per year. 

The landowners contribute a 

similar amount in in-kind contributions, 

but that’s not counting 

the value of the land which is 

often effectively “locked away” to 

preserve the biodiversity values 

that we seek to protect. 

The Selwyn Waihora zone 

covers the Waimakariri and 

Rakaia rivers on the northern 

and southern borders, and from 

Te Waihora/Lake Ellesmere all 

the way to Arthur’s Pass. The 

map shows the projects that have 

been funded to date. If you want 

to know more, go to the Canterbury 

maps website and search on 

biodiversity. 

The projects are wide-ranging, 

and seek to protect, enhance and 

restore biodiversity from the 

high country to the sea, ki uta 

ki tai. 

This work isn’t limited to 

projects on river margins or 

wetlands. For example, we have 

supported QE II and Banks 

Peninsula covenants, protecting

I see that the New Zealand

down a plea from Waddington 

residents for a stop sign at the 

intersection of State Highway 73 

and Waimakariri Gorge Rd. 

If this T-intersection doesn’t 

qualify for a stop sign, can 

anyone please explain how the 

intersection of Weedons Rd 

and Springston-Rolleston Rd 

does? This is a T-intersection 

with clear vision in both 

directions.

It is where about 95 per cent of the 

traffic compelled to stop on Weedons Rd 

turn left into Springston-Rolleston Rd, so 

the least dangerous turn. And the traffic 

they are waiting for is already slowing 

down for the major intersection with 

Shands Rd only 50m further on. Surely, 

if there was ever a case for a give way sign 

this is it. There are numerous examples of 

far more dangerous intersections in the 

area that are currently controlled by give 

way signs but would be far better served by 

stop signs.

Wet wipes put pressure 

on sewer pump stations 

WHAT DO cigarette butts, 

syringes, wet wipes and 

condoms have in common? 

They are all blocking 

your toilet. 

The district council spent 

about $50,000 last year, 

unclogging 269 blockages 

at sewer pump stations. 

A district council 

spokesman said there have 

been 234 blockages so far 

this year and more than 

half of the blockages have 

been caused by wet wipes. 

He said the most 

blockages in the past 

couple of years have 

occurred in Leeston and 

Prebbleton. 

The district council is 

advising residents to limit 

what they flush down the 

toilet to the three ps – pee, 

poo and (toilet) paper. 

District council 

assets manager Murray 

Washington says in spite 

of its name and description 

flushable wet wipes 

don’t break down in the 

system and cause frequent 

blockages. 

“While we understand 

wet wipes have become 

popular we want the public 

to throw them out instead 

of flushing them. 

“Flushing the wipes 

causes a lot of damage to 

our systems, as they are 

not biodegradable.” 

Other items which 

have been found in sewer 

systems in the district 

include latex products such 

as gloves and condoms, 

feminine hygiene 

CLOGGED: A pump found to be blocked with a 

T-shirt in Selwyn. 

products, paper towels, 

napkins, tissues, nursing 

pads, cloth, clothing and 

rags, fats, grease and oil, 

sticky plasters, dressings, 

cotton balls, cotton buds, 

dental floss, hair, plastic 

wrappers, cigarette butts 

and syringes. 

These items don’t break 

down or dissolve in water 

and can cause major 

blockages in pumps and 

within the sewer network 

itself. 

Mr Washington said 

most sewer pipes are only 

10–20 cm in diameter and 

aren’t designed to carry the 

range of products which 

have been found clogging 

the systems. 

You bring the dream, 

we’ll bring the 

How To. 

With Canterbury experiencing 

a hot summer after the wettest 

winter on record, our weather 

has certainly been extreme. 

However, brave Cantabrians, 

with verandas and adjustable 

louvres from Stratco on our 

side, we can take back control 

of our unpredictable elements. 

Steve Cain, Outdoor Product 

Specialist at Stratco, is passionate 

about their verandas and electronic 

louvre systems “they add great 

value to a home, families get 

so much more use from their 

outdoors, and the real estate 

market recognises that value as 

well”. 

Steve says adding an adjustable 

louvre system allows you to 

control exactly how much sunlight 

and breeze in, and protect from 

rain as well. 

Custom made to suit your 

requirements and powder coated 

to any colour, the louvre comes 

standard with an electronic remote 

control as well as a rain sensor 

which gives you huge flexibility on 

how to use the system. 

The verandas are Stratco’s own 

unique leading edge design and 

componentry. Steve is pleased to 

be able to offer a bespoke veranda 

at the same price as a standard 

product, because Stratco has 

the design tools that enable the 

veranda to be custom-designed to 

your size, layout, and attachment 

requirements. 

The process is simple: Steve 

will talk through the possibilities 

with you and then measure and 

quote, which is free with no 

obligation. Stratco then designs, 

manufactures, and installs the 

verandas and louvres themselves. 

It’s a one-stop-shop, with all the 

project management and heavy 

lifting taken care of, leaving you 

hands free to thumb your nose at 

our climate chaos.

Shield and top spot 

SPORTS 

SELWYN TIMES 

Proud supporters of 

Rugby & Netball in Selwyn 

on the line in Darfield v Waihora match up 

• By Jacob Page 

DARFIELD AND Waihora 

will battle for top spot in 

the Ellesmere senior rugby 

competition and the Murray 

Cooper Shield on Saturday 

Darfield got their hands on the 

shield for the first time in more 

than 12 years and closed within 

a point of top spot on the ladder 

with a 21-17 win over Southbridge 

on Saturday. Prebbleton 

also did them a favour by tipping 

over previously unbeaten 

Waihora 21-19 at Tai Tapu. 

Darfield co-coach Alex Robertson 

praised his team’s spirit to 

fight back from two tries down 

mid-way through the match 

against Southbridge and seal 

the game late. “I feel like we 

are starting to peak at the right 

time,” Robertson said. “We’ve 

had some issues with bone injuries 

this year which had harmed 

our rhythm as a team in the 

earlier rounds,” he said. 

Waihora lost their first game 

since round one of the combined 

country competition which they 

ended up winning.

for Waihora but it wasn’t enough

as his team conceded a late 

penalty which Mitchell Laughton 

kicked. Waihora’s Harry Kirk 

missed a shot at goal from the 

sidelines in the last play of the 

game. 

The win firmly entrenched 

Prebbleton in the top four. 

Fifth-placed Springston kept 

their slim semi-final chances 

alive by scrambling past West 

Melton 24-19. 

Lincoln had no trouble dealing 

with Rolleston 39-15 and Burnham 

Dunsandel Irwell were too 

strong for winless Hornby 52-19. 

Southbridge can go a long 

way to securing a semi-final 

spot if they can beat Springston 

on Saturday and extend their 

four-point advantage on the 

competition ladder. Lincoln will 

host Prebbleton, Rolleston will 

welcome BDI, and West Melton 

will play Hornby in a battle of 

the cellar-dwellers. 

Results: Darfield 21, 

Southbridge 17; Prebbleton 

21, Waihora 19; Lincoln 39, 

Rolleston 15; Springston 

24, West Melton 19; BDI 52,

Lincoln and Prebbleton were both victorious 

in the semi-finals of the combined colts rugby 

competition, on Saturday. Lincoln travelled to 

Waihora and beat the hosts 22-12 at Tai Tapu 

Domain, while Prebbleton proved too strong 

for Darfield 33-10 in Prebbleton. The two 

teams will meet at Prebbleton Oval in the final 

on Saturday.

Darfield High School 

Community News - Term 2, 2018 

Page 1 

Principal’s Message 

Welcome to our Term Two Community Newsletter. 

We communicate regularly to our students and families 

during the term but we also want to share with our wider 

community some of the celebrations and activities from the 

last term. The educational success of our children is based on 

the partnership between school, family and community, so it 

is important to keep in touch. 

The most important part of any school are the people who 

learn and work there. Although without the people the 

buildings are pointless, with good facilities the effectiveness 

of the learning within is able to be better supported. It was 

a pleasure therefore to open our two new classroom blocks 

in May. As well as providing much needed classroom spaces, 

well designed, modern learning spaces, with good light, 

acoustics, airflow and visibility can make a positive difference. 

All classrooms also have good connection to the outdoor 

environment. 

For most of the spaces we have chosen to use single 

classroom spaces that open out through sliding doors into 

a shared, multi use space alongside teacher workspaces and 

meeting rooms. This flexibility means that classes can work 

within a traditional classroom space when this best suits the 

learning or break out into other spaces when this is needed. 

The flexibility should serve the school into the future as needs 

change. 

The community Matariki celebration in June reminded me 

how important it is for our children to be able to live and 

work within the bicultural and multicultural contexts of our 

country. The Malvern community is 

predominantly of white European 

ethnicity. As such, most students will 

not get the opportunity to experience 

other cultures as part of their daily 

lives. Most other communities in NZ 

and most workplaces are composed 

of a wide variety of ethnicities and cultures and our children 

need to be comfortable interacting with them. 

For most jobs in NZ it is considered a positive attribute to be 

confident with some Maori language and protocol. Being 

familiar with greetings, Waiata, Mihi and Powhiri are seen 

as important by many employers. In private companies and 

every government agency, employees are expected to operate 

successfully with these. By having a broad education in Tikanga 

(culture) and Te Reo (language) our students are learning key 

skills for life and work in NZ. 

The government is currently reviewing a number of aspects 

of the education system including NCEA, learning support 

and Tomorrow’s Schools – the education reforms of the 1980s 

that changed the governance and management of schools 

to a self-managing, competitive model. It is important that 

a wide range of voices are heard in these reviews, including 

feedback where you think things are working well. Go to 

www.conversation.education.govt.nz for opportunities to get 

involved.

Award Winning 

Author 

Kate de Goldi 

During Term Two, the English Department and Library were 

really excited to host one of New Zealand's most enjoyed, 

respected and award winning authors, Kate de Goldi. Kate 

is well-known for her writing and she is also a passionate 

promoter of reading and writing with students in schools. Her 

reviews feature in many publications and she is a regular on 

radio, TV and at literary events. Twenty students enjoyed a 

two hour workshop with Kate. She gave them a speedy tour 

of her philosophy on writing and lots of opportunities to do 

their own writing using different starter activities. Comments 

afterwards included "It was really helpful and interesting and 

I left with lots of ideas and tools to use in my writing for my 

NCEA portfolio." 


Senior Drama Department 

presents 

For her last session, Kate did a presentation to some Years 9 

and 10 English classes. She outlined how she became a writer 

and answered a variety of questions from the audience. Her 

advice to students wanting to build on their writing is to read, 

observe the world around you, record things that interest you, 

that there is power in writing about things that interest you 

and to never be satisfied with your first draft. 

Check Please 

Follows a series of 

blind dates that 

couldn’t get any 

worse – until they do. 

Could there possibly 

be a light at the end 

of the tunnel? 

The Darfield High School Drama Department presented five well 

rehearsed productions of Jonathan Rand’s Check Please, at the end 

of June. 

This production followed a series of blind dinner dates that 

couldn't get any worse - until they do. Students loved performing 

it and audiences loved watching it. The flexible casting, minimal 

set and prop requirements and opportunity for comic bits make it 

perfect for high schools and play productions.

French 

Workshop 

For the first time this year, the UC French 

department organised an event for all 

high school students in our region. The 

idea was to gather everyone for a whole 

day of French immersion and practice in 

preparation for the NCEA examinations. 

Every teacher attending this event was in 

charge of a workshop or two and students 

rotated between different sessions. I 

taught two groups of Year 13 students 

from a variety of schools while my students 

attended workshops run by other teachers. 

It was a fun and refreshing approach and 

students said they learnt a lot from it. 

We are looking forward to another French 

day at UC next year! 

Marjorie Juhel 

French Teacher 



Cultural Diversity 

On 25 May, we held our first Cultural Diversity Day. This event was previously 

known as International Day but we wanted to include all of the different 

cultures in our school, so we updated the event name. It was fantastic to see the 

Philippines represented for the first time by some of our domestic students, and 

there was a great variety of cultural games and activities on offer. Throughout 

the day, we had approximately 180 students visit, and many participated in the 

passport activity. By visiting all the stalls and answering questions about each 

culture to complete their passport, students went in the draw to win a tasty 

snack from Japan. Students also helped fold origami paper cranes that will be 

taken to Japan later in the year by students and staff participating in the Japan 

trip. To finish off the day, everyone enjoyed watching a kapahaka performance at 

the end of lunchtime. A big thank you to all of the students who participated by 

sharing their culture, and to students and staff who visited during the day.

Annual 

Quadrangular 

Sports 

The Annual Quadrangular Tournaments for 2018 were held 

during Term Two at Geraldine, Ellesmere and Darfield. The 

schools that competed were Darfield High School, Ellesmere 

College, Mt Hutt College and Geraldine High School. The sports 

involved included Netball, Rugby and Football. The competition 

was fierce and exciting to watch, with some very close games 

being played. 

Darfield High School won the overall trophy in all three 

tournaments. This is the first year we have managed to do this. 

Well done to all students, helpers and coaching staff! 

Oral Tapestries 

This year the Oral Tapestries were split into two separate 

events: one for seniors (Year 11-13) which was held on 

Thursday 28 June, and one for juniors (Year 7-10) which was 

held on Thursday 5 July. 

The events were a great success, showcasing the skills of our 

most accomplished public speakers and performers. Thank 

you to the judges, Mrs Melissa Jebson, Mr Panos Tsavousis 

and Mrs Mallory Gander.

New Technology At DHS 

New toy in the school! 

As far as toys go, this one is pretty cool! 

3D printing is now becoming more 

commonplace and eventually we will 

probably all have one in our homes and 

be printing all our stuff. 

Imagine a door hinge breaks, or you lose the 

plug—no problems, print a new one! 

Students (and teachers) are getting into this 

new technology and are excited to see the 

results. 

Babysitting at DHS 

Some Years 9 and 10 students got the 

opportunity to experience babysitting for 

a few hours on 25 June, organised by the 

DHS Careers Department and Plunket coordinator 

Susanna Harman and, of course, 

the willing mums and their children. The 

students who participated had lots of 

fun playing with a number of children, 

ranging in ages.

students to test out the 3D Printer, 

with his design, a 9CM keyring. 






Peer Support Programme 

Over the past two terms, a group of Year 12 students have spent 

their study periods with the Year 7s as part of the Peer Support 

programme. 

This programme runs every year to welcome the new students 

and help them to settle in and get to know each other. 

At the end of last year, all of the Year 12s took part in a twoday 

training programme to improve our leadership, teamwork 

and communication skills, and to learn a variety of games and 

activities that we could do with the Year 7s. 

We put this into practice during this year’s weekly Wednesday 

period 5 sessions, where we got to organise and run a lesson for 

our class for the hour. Each week, we focused on a different key 

message, to help them to get to know the school, get to know 

each other, and develop self-confidence. 

We are embarking on an exciting design journey this year, 

alongside the Darfield Community Garden team, with our end 

goal to see one of the students' designs become a reality at the 

Community Garden, situated alongside Almond Park. 

The creative vibe is alive and buzzing in the classroom and we 

have had our first site visit during Term Two and discussion 

with the stakeholders. Bev Elder and her team have been doing 

Throughout the lessons, they learned about friendships, 

communication and teamwork skills, as well as looking at values 

and respect. 

Peer Support was also valuable for the Year 12s. It was a great 

opportunity to work on our leadership—managing a class of 

excited 11 year olds was a new experience for all of us, and 

definitely challenging at times, but it was incredibly rewarding 

to see our hard work pay off and see the kids having fun and 

getting more comfortable with us and each other. 

We are extremely proud of how far the students have come in 

such a short time. Their confidence has increased dramatically, 

and everyone has made new friends, not only with other Year 7s 

but with the Year 12s as well. We hope the lessons have helped 

the students with their transition into Darfield High School, and 

look forward to seeing them grow throughout the year.

Bullying Free 

Week 

During Term Two, Darfield High School had a week of different 

activities to mark Bullying Free Week: Anonymous Appreciation 

(writing your expressions of Gratitude to other students or staff), 

the Positivitree (writing a positive message and hanging it on 

the tree), Student Led Assembly and Jump Jam sessions. The 

week ended with a fun Pink Shirt mufti day. 

Working With The 

Local Community 

an amazing amount of work over the last two years making 

their dream a reality, the dream of connecting people and the 

community with whole food, enabling children to experience 

picking and eating fruit from the tree and creating spaces for 

people to learn and accomplish growing their own food. 

Our job is to create something exciting to support their dream.

Gualter to miss crucial 

match against St Bede’s 


LINCOLN COMBINED will 

go into arguably their most 

important game in history on 

Saturday without their captain 

Wil Gualter. 

The talented midfielder was 

knocked out during the Crusaders 

Knights training camp a 

fortnight ago and will be rested 

from Saturday’s crucial regular 

season game against St Bede’s 

College. 

After a two-week break for 

the school holidays and the 

Cinderella-story of this year’s 

competition, Lincoln Combined 

sit third with three regular season 

games remaining. 

Lincoln Combined are on 37 

points, five ahead of fifth-placed 

Nelson College, which have a 

game in hand against secondplaced 

Christ’s College. 

Lincoln Combined will travel 

to face fourth-placed St Bede’s 

on their own turf on Saturday, 

the first of three away trips to 

conclude the round-robin. 

They will then face Nelson 

College on August 4 and competition 

leaders Christchurch Boys’ 

High School on August 11. 

Coach Mike Wilson said it was 

not ideal to lose Gualter but he 

believed the squad would step up 

in his absence. 

“We have a squad of 30 guys 

who will have to go out there and 

step-up,” Wilson said. “Hopefully 

some of the guys will see 

it as an opportunity to fill the 

void.”

Wilson admitted he would 

sleep easier if his side could 

secure a top four spot before the 

last game against CBHS, but he 

was trying not to think too far 

ahead. 

“We just have to focus on the 

next game and not worry about 

what might happen or what 

could happen because some of 

the other fixtures will have an 

impact on the outcome too. 

Nelson College and Christ’s 

will face each other on August 

8 in their make-up game, and a 

Christ’s College win would likely 

help Lincoln’s push to make the 

top four for the first time. 

A win on Saturday against 

St Bede’s would go a long way 

to making that dream a reality, 

while also severely denting the 

chances of one of their main 

rivals.

Grace scores crucial try in Lincoln Uni win 

• By Jim Doyle 

THE VERSATILE Cullen Grace 

scored a crucial try on the hour 

to help propel Lincoln University 

to a 36-24 win over Sydenham in 

their metro premier rugby semifinal 

at Lincoln on Saturday. 

Lincoln University will play 

New Brighton for the Hawkins 

Trophy at Rugby Park on Sunday. 

With the 

scores locked 

at 17-17, Grace 

(left), who went 

from blindside 

flanker to No 

8 for the final 

20min, took 

the ball off the 

back of a 5m 

scrum and was going to score by 

the posts, or die in the attempt. 

He was brought down just 

short of the line but stretched out 

a big right hand and planted the 

ball exactly where he’d planned. 

That was the spark Lincoln 

needed. 

A couple of minutes later, 

hooker Nic Souchon was across 

after sweeping lead-up play. Before 

long Caleb Makene was the 

beneficiary of a tackle-busting 

surge down the right by Connor 

BIG PLAY: Former TBHS captain Cullen Grace stretched out for a crucial try for Lincoln during 

their Hawkins Trophy semi-final against Sydenham on Saturday. 

Garden-Bachop. 

Sydenham had a consolation 

try close to full-time when 

slippery fullback Dan Fransen 

speared through after the forwards 

had done the hard work. 

There was much more to 

Grace’s play than his try. The former 

Timaru Boys’ High School 

captain put a lot of work in 

around the park and won a good 

deal of lineout ball, especially in 

the first half. 

Connor Gordon, back after 

an injury break, was constantly 

busy as he ranged off the open 

side of the scrum. His pace gave 

Lincoln another early try. Hamish 

Dalzell broke, then deftly 

slipped the ball to the flying 

Gordon. 

Five minutes later, Ben Morris, 

with a clever run and draw, and 

Sam Gilbert, who flipped a popup 

pass on the line, had Jesse 

Houston across. 

The imposing Dalzell was 

replaced by Mitch Dunshea 

early in the second half. 

Dunshea was explosive with ball 

in hand. 

Troy Hallett had a big game 

at tighthead prop. He pulled off 

a crunching head-on tackle early, 

continued to defend powerfully, 

and made several strong carries. 

Joe Meek had a top game at 

halfback, making a startling 

break in the first half that 

seemed destined to end in a try. 

Scorers: 

Lincoln University 36 (Connor 

Gordon, Jesse Houston, Cullen 

Grace, Nic Souchon, Caleb Makene 

tries; Sam Gilbert 4 conv, 

pen) beat Sydenham 24 (Morgan 

Inness, Matt James, Dan Fransen 

tries; Jack McLeod 2 conv, pen;

Country aim to end losing streak 


CANTERBURY Country will 

look to end a frustrating losing 

streak to Canterbury Metro in 

their South Island representative 

campaign next month. 

The initial Canterbury 

Country squad was named after 

the Southbridge Shield clashes 

between Ellesmere and North 

Canterbury at Prebbleton on July 

14. 

They will play six fixtures 

this season, which will include 

resurrecting their annual fixture 

against Marlborough and the 

Farmlands Cup against Otago 

Country and Southland Country. 

However, it has been 10 years 

since Canterbury Country wrestled 

the Craw Shield from the 

grip of Canterbury Metro. 

However, after the team lost in 

injury time last year, coach Nigel 

Smith believes they have got the 

culture right. 

“We’ve focused on individual 

players who we think can add 

to the group and that’s why 55 

per cent of them are new to the 

country level.” 

Smith stepped away from his 

duties at Saracens to focus solely 

on this campaign, and has been 

a regular at Thursday night club 

100% 

CapItal GaIn 

to the ResIDent 

trainings and Saturday fixtures. 

He said players like Waihora 

lock Joe Robbins had impressed 

him. “For some years we saw Joe 

as a blind-side, but when I saw 

his work rate as a lock, I thought 

he had a game that was exactly 

what we needed,” Smith said. 

He said Springston midfielder 

Shaun Harrington is a player 

who has had a lot of success 

lately. 

“He’s fit because he’s training 

for the Coast to Coast and he just 

keeps giving; he never stops,” 

Smith said. 

He expected their lineout and 

loose forwards to be the team’s 

strength, especially with the 

ball-carrying of Southbridge’s 

Jali Masi. 

There is still plenty of experience 

in the squad with Prebbleton 

midfielder Tim Murgatroyd 

and Waihora fullback Mark 

Maitland in the mix. 

The team will face Marlborough 

in Blenheim in their first 

game on August 18.

Upsets dominate third round of premier netball 

UPSETS: Broadfield A goal attack Maia Hill in action earlier in 

the season. Broadfield A’s loss was one of three big upsets in 

the opening week of the third round of the Selwyn premier 

netball competition. 

PHOTO: KAREN CASEY 


THERE WERE three games 

and three upsets in the first 

week of the final round of 

Selwyn premier netball on 

Saturday. 

The third round of the season, 

which will determine the semifinalists, 

got under way with the 

form guide being thrown out the 

window. 

The three top teams from the 

previous two rounds – Lincoln 

A, Greenpark A and Broadfield 

A – all suffered shock losses. 

Newly-promoted Rolleston 

A defeated title contenders 

Broadfield A 55-54 to start the 

day. 

That was followed by 

$1,000 FullY 

ReFunDable 

DeposIt 

Southbridge A downing an 

error-ridden Greenpark A 57-53 

and then defending champions 

Lincoln A were tipped over by 

Greenpark B 55-46. 

Lincoln A coach Vanessa 

Robinson said she could scarcely 

believe what she had seen across 

all three games. 

“I left the courts on Saturday 

shaking my head thinking ‘oh 

my goodness’,” she said. 

“From our perspective, we 

just didn’t start well at all,” she 

said. 

“Our shots didn’t go in and we 

were behind from the start and 

the more we tried, the worse it 

seemed to get,” Robinson said. 

“I said to the team beforehand 

that (having watched the two 

previous games) we were not 

going to be a statistic but that’s 

exactly what we became.” 

Robinson said all three 

winning teams deserved a lot of 

credit for the way they played. 

Saturday will see Lincoln A 

face Rolleston A, Greenpark A 

will face clubmates Greenpark 

B and Southbridge A will face 

Broadfield A. 

Results: Rolleston A 55, 

Broadfield A 54; Southbridge 

A 57, Greenpark A 53; 

Greenpark B 55, Lincoln A 

46.

Rolleston recently welcomed its first township traffic lights, but six more sets of lights are to be 

installed over the next decade around Lincoln and Rolleston. 

Alongside the two sets of lights already installed in Rolleston, another two are scheduled as part 

of the Long-Term Plan, while four sets are set to be installed in Lincoln. 

The two recently installed lights in Rolleston are on Rolleston Drive/Masefield Drive, and at 

Hoskyns Road/Jones Road. 

The two new projects, which are set to be completed over the next three years, will see traffic 

lights replacing the roundabouts at Tennyson/Springston Rolleston/Lowes Road and at Rolleston 

Drive/Tennyson Street. 

Asset Manager Transportation, Andrew Mazey, says the new Rolleston Drive/Tennyson Street 

lights are designed to work in with the town centre development. 

“We would like to coordinate this work in with the construction of the marquee town centre build 

of the new community centre and library. 

For Mazey and his team, this work is about future-proofing a continually growing town. 

“With Rolleston we understand that the community is continuing to grow, and we will continue to 

monitor the town to ensure that traffic flow is kept steady, and that we best service the community.” 

The Council is also working alongside the NZ Transport Agency to help improve access to Rolleston. 

“Continuing on from the Christchurch Southern Motorway project we have been working 

alongside NZTA to bring improvements with developing and changing future access to the town.” 

Like Rolleston, Lincoln has also been experiencing significant growth, and a beautification 

process of Gerald Street will run alongside the installation of new traffic lights in the village. 

Four sets of traffic lights are set to be installed at intersections along Gerald Street. 

They will be at Gerald/West Belt, Gerald/Veron Drive, Gerald/Springs Road and Gerald/James and 

Edward Street. 

Andrew Mazey says these will be hugely important to help preserve the village feel of Lincoln. 

“With the transformation and beautification of Gerald Street, developing good traffic flow will help 

increase the user experience for those living and visiting Lincoln, as well as helping those on foot 

and cycling through the village.“ 

Mr Mazey says the travel habits of Lincoln University students is aa factor in planning the new 

projects, and the Gerald Street/Springs Road traffic signals will help ensure the safety of those 

travelling to and from the University campus.

a memory that will stick around 

forever. 

Alfeld, the daughter of well-respected 

horseman Ricky, picked 

up her first win as a trainer with 

just her fourth starter at the 

races when consistent mare Sans 

Le Sou held off all challengers 

to win a competitive fillies and 

mares mile event. 

The family is from Lincoln. 

And making the moment all 

that more special for the entire 

family was that dad, Ricky, was 

sitting in the sulky handling the 

SPORTS 

steering duties. 

“It’s a pretty cool moment,” 

the quietly spoken Danni said. 

“Hopefully there’s a few more 

to come too.” 

One of the major reasons 

behind Alfeld getting her licence 

was the introduction of the new 

young trainer incentives from 

Harness Racing New Zealand 

which make getting a trainers’ 

licence a lot more appealing. 

“It made sense for her to get in 

and get it while that was available,” 

Ricky said. 

“It’s a pretty special moment 

for us, one we certainly won’t 

forget for a while that’s for sure.” 

The raw emotion of the moment 

was evident in the birdcage 

after the race – understating the 

significance of the success. 

A 79-start veteran, Sans Le 

Sou has long been a consistent 

performer around Canterbury. 

The daughter of Mach Three 

has now won seven and placed 

on 21 occasions – often flying 

out of the pack late. 

“She’s only got a short sprint 

and we were all out at the finish 

there, I actually thought we had 

gotten beat by the horse down 

the outside. 

“It’s a good race to win though 

– there’s a nice stake attached.” 

Alfeld has four horses in work 

at home currently, a full sister to 

Sans Le Sou as well as progeny 

by Bettor’s Delight and Art 

Major.

overcomes odds at 

Queensland champs 

• By Gordon Findlater 

PREBBLETON School’s Lucia 

Gale battled against some of 

Australia’s top juniors to win the 

Rod Laver Queensland Junior 

Championships in Brisbane. 

In the final of the girls 10 and 

under singles final the 10-yearold 

faced No 1 seed Sarah Bigg. 

Earlier in the week the Australian 

defeated Lucia in pool play at the 

Rod Laver lead in tournament 

6-4, 4-6, 10-8. However, Lucia 

took the spoils on the big stage 

winning 6-3, 6-1. 

Lucia also reached the final of 

the 10 and under girls doubles 

in Brisbane with Christchurch’s 

Alex Wylie. The pair won three 

matches before succumbing to 

No 1 seeds Frangipani Tsai and 

Valenova Tsai 2-6, 5-7. 

In singles Lucia went undefeated 

through her five pool matches 

to advance to the quarter finals 

with a record of 60-2 on games. 

Lucia accounted for Australia’s 

Summer Osbourne in the quarter 

final 6-1, 6-1 before a tough semifinal 

win over Australian Morgan 

Lyall. After dropping the first set 

4-6 Lucia recovered to win the 

second set 6-4. The match was 

decided by a super tie-breaker 

which Lucia won 10-2. 

Last week Lucia returned home 

and continued her fine form to 

win the girls 12 and under title 

at the Canterbury Junior Winter 

tournament at Wilding Park. 

Lucia won all five of her 

matches, dropping just two games 

on her way to the title.

MY PRIDE AND JOY 

SELWYN TIMES 

Little Chummy steals hearts 

“Does it go?” It was the question on everyone’s lips when they first laid eyes on 

Dee and Jim Nunan’s much-admired and loved 1928 Austin 7 Chummy C-Cab van. 

The question was asked so many times that the couple 

decided to buy a number plate that clearly stated that 

the little van did indeed go with the words: IT GOES. 

For Jim Nunan the purchase 16 years ago of ‘Little 

Chummy,’ as the Austin is fondly referred to, was not 

only to satisfy his passion for vintage cars but also 

to find a little vehicle that suited their restored 1881 

cottage, known as The Old Parsonage in Waddington. 

Jim first spotted Little Chummy for sale at a tractor/ 

farm machinery day in Kirwee. He contacted the 

owner and was taken for a ride so fast that he had to 

hang on tight. 

“It felt like 100 miles per hour; it was a bit too fast for 

the little van,” he says. 

The price was agreed upon and the Austin was 

delivered by a transporter. “We didn’t drive her home 

as there was a screaming nor’wester blowing.” 

Little Chummy has been a pleasure to own ever 

since. “It always gets a warrant,” says Jim and with a 

new battery installed he no longer needs to resort to 

the crank handle to get her started. 

Over the years, Jim has had a few instances, usually 

out on the open road, where modern cars and trucks 

dwarf the little Austin. 

“I’m always conscious of other traffic behind me 

and have had a few big trucks suddenly appear from 

nowhere,” says Jim. “One day I had a man in a fourwheel-drive 

tooting his horn at me, and when I finally 

pulled over, he told me that my back wheel was wobbly. 

The wheel nuts had come loose.” 

Jim has kept the van in the original condition he 

bought it, and apart from keeping the van polished and 

protected from the weather, the only additions have 

been signwriting and some shelves in the back. 

“We used to take the van to shows and Homebush 

open days. We’d open up the back doors and display 

Dee’s miniatures.” The miniatures referred to were part 

of Dee’s collection that she still has on display at The 

Old Parsonage. 

A lifelong passion for cars over the years has seen Jim 

restore many a vehicle from the ground up; however, 

nowadays he is content with his little Austin 7 Chummy 

and the 1939 Austin 10, which he fully restored and 

now keeps in storage. 

Jim still enjoys getting little Chummy out for a 

polish and is often seen taking her for a spin around 

the block, giving locals and motorists cause to take a 

second glance at the rare and delightful sight as the 

little van passes by. 

LIFELONG PASSION: Jim Nunan loves vintage 

cars and enjoys spending time with his 90-yearold 

1928 Austin Chummy C-Cab van.

MOTORCARE PROFESSIONALS 

Stay safe 

on the road 

this winter 

While the shortest day might have been 

and gone for the year, there will no doubt be 

more wintry weather to come over the next 

few weeks, so it’s important to keep your 

vehicle in a safe, roadworthy condition. 

Icy roads can be a serious and slippery 

hazard in Canterbury, especially early in 

the morning, so you need to have plenty of 

tread on the tyres. Greasy, wet roads also 

make for hazardous driving conditions, 

with adequate tyre tread needed to avoid 

aquaplaning, which can be a frightening 

experience. 

Now that WOF checks are only required 

once a year, rather than every six months, 

it’s easy to overlook tyre condition, so make 

sure you check the tread depth yourself, or 

have the tyres checked at your local tyre 

specialist. 

Wet weather can also create potholes in 

the road, which can damage your vehicle’s 

suspension, so watch out for those and 

avoid if possible. 

Having anti-freeze in the radiator and a 

good battery is another important factor in 

winter – an unresponsive battery is the last 

thing you need on a freezing cold morning 

when you need to get to work. 

Dark, unlit rural roads can make driving 

difficult in bad weather, so headlights, brake 

lights and tail lights need to be functioning 

properly, allowing you to see the road 

ahead, and other motorists to see you. 

Your local motorcare professionals 

can help keep your vehicle in tip-top 

condition so you and your family can 

stay safe on the roads this winter, or 

they can repair it if you are unfortunate 

enough to have an accident. 

They offer: WOF, panel repairs, full 

engine servicing, auto electrical repairs, 

tyre replacements and battery checks 

and replacement.

PETS & PAWS 

Kitten season on its way 

Become a responsible pet 

owner and help reduce the 

population of unwanted cats 

in your neighbourhood 

Late spring to mid autumn is generally known as the kitten season. 

Just two cats and all their offspring, 

producing at least two litters a year, with 

2.8 surviving kittens per litter, can be 

responsible for 11 million cats in just nine 

years! A kitten can get pregnant as early as 

four to five months of age and go on to have 

up to three litters a year! 

It’s not just females that need to be 

neutered. Many owners turn a blind eye 

to their male ‘tom’ cats and allow them to 

roam at will, impregnating as many females 

as they encounter. With feline AIDS (FIV) 

prevalent in the cat community, it’s vital 

to have males neutered in order to reduce 

spread via cat fights. 

With these statistics in mind, it’s not hard 

to see why it’s important to have your cat 

neutered as early as possible. 

Selwyn Veterinary Centre veterinarian 

Yolande Howell says it’s important to keep 

younger animals indoors until they are old 

enough to be neutered. 

“Your vet will be able to advise you 

when the best time is to neuter your pet,” 

says Yolande. “The procedures are done 

under general anaesthesia, and you will 

be amazed how well animals recover from 

their operations.” 

Neutering means the removal of an 

animal’s reproductive organ. In males, it is 

commonly referred to as castration, and in 

females, it is referred to as speying. 

“The benefits of neutering are numerous 

and may prevent diseases such as testicular 

cancer in males and mammary cancer in 

females.” 

• Have your male or female cat 

neutered at your local veterinary 

clinic as soon as possible 

• Have any kittens neutered 

before rehoming 

• Help a friend or member 

of your family to get their cat 

neutered 

NEUTERING SAVES LIVES 

talk to your local vet to 

neuter your pet 

Neutering can also reduce unwanted 

behaviours such as urine spraying or 

marking. A neutered male cat is more 

likely to stay at home and less likely to be 

involved in fights with other males, while 

a neutered female is less likely to attract 

unwanted attention.

discuss getting your cat neutered today.

Be smart with the way you plant 

Fire rages, homes at risk 

• By Rachel Vogan 

AUGUST IS a beautiful month 

in the garden, the first of the 

bulbs are adding a sparkle of 

colour to the ground and many 

trees, shrubs and perennials 

are stepping up to the plate and 

flowering. 

And while it still may be cold 

outdoors, remember with smart 

planting you can place these 

colourful plants in spots where 

you can see them from indoors. 

flowers of these every week for 

my posies, and this forces the 

wallflower to produce more 

stems, which in turn means more 

flowers. Plant in full sun; it is 

durable to hot and cold and does 

cope with poor soils. A good 

haircut once a year is all it needs. 

Expect a good five years out of 

the plant, these wallflowers are 

not long-lived but are easy to 

grow from stem cuttings in late 

spring. It is also a good pollinator 

plant too. 

NEMESIA ‘STRAWBERRY 

RIPPLE’ 

Look for this if you are after 

a little firepower to take you 

through the last month of winter 

and all the way through spring. 

It’s ideal for patio tubs, window 

boxes or baskets and garden beds. 

While these plants may seem 

like they wouldn’t handle much 

cold, they do. However, don’t go 

making them struggle in an open 

garden bed in the coldest regions. 

Instead, plant them where they 

have some protection from the 

house and obviously near a 

window so that you can see them 

often. 

EARLY STACHYURUS 

Consider planting the deciduous 

Stachyurus praecox as an anchor 

tenant shrub that has high winter 

and spring interest. Golden 

yellow catkin-like flowers appear 

in clusters from the still dormant 

branches for the next two to three 

months, commanding attention 

and grabbing your eye. Once the 

flowers finish, the plant cloaks 

itself in soft green leaves until 

June, when it ditches its foliage 

to take a rest for a few months. 

Happy in the sun or shade, allow 

one to 2m in width for it to grow. 

ERYSIMUM × HYBRIDA 

‘WINTER JOY’ 

This mid-sized (80cm) evergreen 

perennial packs a punch over the 

coldest months when it sprinkles 

its bright green foliage with stem 

after stem of lilac blooms. I pick 

LEUCADENDRON 

SALIGNUM ‘FIREGLOW’ 

Leucadendrons are great for 

bold statements of colour and 

arm-loads of flowers to pick over 

the cold months. As the name 

suggests, ‘Fireglow’ has vibrant 

tones of red, burnt orange and 

glowing yellows. It is an easy 

to grow, mid-sized compact 

shrub, which requires full sun 

and excellent drainage to thrive. 

Pots and tubs are a good option; 

however, they need to be large as 

leucadendrons loathe cramped 

root zones and grow 1.5m tall. 

Cut the flower stems back once 

the blooms have finished to 

encourage more flower stems for 

the following year. 

PSEUDOWINTERA 

COLORATA ‘RED LEOPARD’ 

I have been a huge fan and 

advocate for this plant for years. 

This plant is a hybrid of our 

native pepper tree found in 

bush areas in many parts of the 

country. The dark-red, spotted 

leaves intensify over the colder 

months, making this plant stand 

out. And what’s good about it is 

that it seems to grow better in 

poor free-draining soils rather 

than richer ones where more 

nutrients are available. Full sun is 

best, although it will cope with a 

smidge of shade. 

CAMELLIA RETICULATA 

‘LOVELY LADY’ 

With a name like this, and a 

flower form and colour to match, 

this recently introduced camellia 

variety is widely popular. The 

large double pink flowers appear 

from August and last until around 

Labour Weekend. Preferring 

semi-shade, this plant is an option 

for larger tubs, urns and raised 

planters. This is a real statement 

plant; use it to create a focal point 

or even consider planting it as a 

hedge or screen. 

FOCAL POINT: 

Wallflower ‘Winter 

Joy’ prefers semishade. 

It is an 

option for larger 

tubs, urns and 

raised planters. 

BOLD STATEMENT: Leucadendron 

salignum ‘Fireglow’ is a mid-sized 

compact shrub, which requires full sun 

and excellent drainage to thrive.

WORKSAFE NEW Zealand 

has b en a proached in a bid to 

fina ly repair the potholes in New 

Brighton’s Hawke St car park. 

Coastal-Burw od Ward city 

counci lor David East wants 

WorkSafe to pre sure the car 

park’s private owners into 

repairing the potholes which are 

a “trip and vehicle” hazard. 

WorkSafe chief inspector 

a se sments southern Da ren 

Handforth said it may be able to 

take action under the Health and 

Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a 

person conducting a busine s or 

undertaking.” 

Mr Handforth said WorkSafe 

is aware of the concerns raised by 

Cr East abou the car park. 

“WorkSafe has completed 

an a se sment visi to the site 

and is engaging with the owner 

to advise them that it is their 

responsibility to manage their 

risks a propriately.” 

Different parts of the car park 

are owned by various people 

and the Coastal-Burw od 

Community Board recently 

wrote to them about its concerns 

around health and safety. 

Cr East said the bi gest i sue 

in the past has b en ge ting in 

touch with the landlords and 

owners and ge ting them to 

agr e to anything. “The board 

a preciates that multi-ownership 

of the parking space may present 

a difficulty in co-ordinating 

repair/resurfacing but felt obliged 

to pa s these concerns onto you,” 

said the le ter. 

One reply has b en received so 

far from an owner who is willing 

to discu s the i sue. However, a l 

the owners would have to agr e 

to undertake work. 

Cr East said there had b en 

a “number of incidences” in 

the car park of people injuring 

themselves which had gone 

unreported. 

“I’ve always though that it 

has b en quite amazing that we 

haven’t had any serious a cidents 

or senior citizens perhaps 

tri ping in those potholes and 

doing themselves some damage.” 

He is confiden the new 

a proach wi l bring results. 

“I think the WorkSafe 

involvement may prove to be the 

lever that we are l oking for.”

THE ST Andrew’s Co lege big 

band had extra incentive to 

win a the National Youth Ja z 

Competition – ba s player, Tom 

Fastier, co lapsed and died the 

day before the competition 

began. 

“Tom was a ba s player from 

Cashmere High Sch ol who was 

playing with our big band this 

year. He had a strong chance of 

wi ning best ba s player a the 

festival as he was a very a complished 

musician,” head of music 

Duncan Ferguson said. 

“We were delighted to win, but 

it was bi tersw et,” he said. 

St Andrew’s won the most 

outstanding big band title a the 

competition in Tauranga. 

The band dedicated its se to 

Tom, who died while on his way 

to Cashmere High on March 27.

THE PAPANUI-I nes 

Community Board has taken the 

rare step of starting a petition 

to figh the city council over 

funding. 

Signatures are being co lected 

in a bid to get funding for a community 

facility in Shirley. 

It comes after the city council 

removed funding for the centre 

pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the 

intersection with Hi ls Rd. This 

was the site of the former community 

centre, which was badly 

damaged in the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. 

The removal o funding 

prompted community board 

chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten 

to stand down, citing it as her “die 

in the ditch” project. 

Ms Jones said the board’s role 

is to represen the community, 

and by gathering signatures from 

residents, it was fulfi ling that 

role. 

“One of the roles of a community 

board is to represent and act 

as advocate for the interests of its 

community and this is what we 

are doing. The LTP and a nual 

plans are a l about lo bying the 

council.”

Cave Rock 

Apartments’ 

owners 

expect EQC 

sign-off 

this week 

• By Sarla Donovan 

THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave 

Rock Apartments are expecting the 

Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off 

on a se tlement agr emen this w ek. 

Body corporate chairman Mike 

White said the group had gone 

into mediation with IAG and EQC 

on February 20, and signed off 

on a deal with IAG on February 

2 – coincidenta ly seven years 

to the day after the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. However, they 

are waiting for EQC to sign the 

agr ement. 

“Given that EQC actua ly drafted 

the agr ement, there’ l be no 

problem with them doing that.” 

The apartments suffered damage 

in the February and June, 20 1, 

earthquakes and were demolished in 

late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the 

difference betw en indemnity value, 

$10 mi lion, and the sum insured, 

$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body 

corporate. 

The mediation agr ement 

prevented Mr White from disclosing 

the se tlement amount, but he said it 

involved the two parties paying “a bit 

more money than they’d wanted to 

earlier.”

international competition. 

New World Fe ry Rd butcher 

Jeremy Garth and his team, the 

Pure South Sharp Blacks, recently 

came second a the World 

Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern 

Ireland. 

It was the firs time Mr Garth 

had competed in the cha lenge 

and he was “rea ly proud” of 

how the team performed. 

“We produced some top quality 

products and came away 

with a g od result so we’re very 

ha py,” he said. 

The preparation for this year’s 

World Butchers’ Cha lenge was 

intense as the team members 

met in Auckland every two 

months for lengthy w ekend 

practices. 

Mr Garth, who has b en a 

butcher for 14 years, said the 

competition brought back his 

pa sion for the job. 

“Doing a l this stuff and 

m eting new people, s eing new 

ideas, it just brings that flair 

back for you,” he said. 

Mr Garth hopes to own a 

butcher shop of his own someday 

but says for now he wi l focus 

on ge ting more experience 

and on the 2020 cha lenge. 

“In two years’ time, we’ l be

Pupils learn about role of war horses

Mr A pleton said it was

AN U PER Ri carton butcher 

has proven himself to be a cut 

above his Au sie rivals at an 

international competition. 

Elite Meats owner Corey 

Winder was named in the a l 

star team a the World Butchers’ 

Cha lenge in Northern Ireland. 

Mr Winder and his team, the 

Pure South Sharp Blacks, which 

includes W olston butcher 

Jeremy Garth, finished second 

in the competition. 

He said the cha lenge started 

as a “transtasman test match” 

seven years ago. 

The preparation for this 

year’s World Butchers’ Challenge 

was intense as the team 

members met in Auckland 

every two months for lengthy 

w ekend practices. Mr Winder 

said coming second against 1 

other countries was a “fantastic” 

result. 

“To get second behind Ireland 

was a huge achievement and to 

be ahead of Australia is an 

even bi ger thing for us,” he 

said. 

But Mr Winder admires the 

Australian team. 

“Those guys over there 

[Australia] are on top of their 

game, they do a g od job,” he 

said. 

“And it just showcases that 

New Zealand has got some 

of the best butchers in the 

world,” he said.

Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if 

the city council would endorse the

“I’d like to think so because the

IT COULD be some time before 

charges are laid in relation to the 

fatal hit-and-run in Dallington. 

Detective Senior Sergeant Greg 

Cottam said yesterday the vehicle 

involved in the crash last week 

was still being examined. 

He said there was still a lot of 

work to do to gather all the information 

and finish police inquiries 

before any charges would be laid. 

“They can take some time,” he 

said. 

“We’ve got six months to lay 

charges in relation to traffic offending 

– it certainly won’t take 

that long.” 

Steffan Pearce- 

Loe (right), 30, was 

hit by a vehicle 

near the Gayhurst 

Rd bridge while 

walking his dogs at

He died in hospital 

from his injuries on Friday. 

His funeral was held on Tuesday. 

Police found the vehicle 

involved, which had damage 

consistent with the crash, on Saturday. 

A detective saw it parked 

up a driveway. 

The vehicle’s owner, who was 

driving, has been interviewed by 

police.

What you need to know 

when you’re buying to let 

Buying a property is always a big deal, 

whether you’re planning to live in it 

yourself or not. Nearly 40 per cent of New 

Zealand property buyers already own 

multiple properties, according to recent 

data from CoreLogic, but that doesn’t make 

buying one as an investment any less of a 

bold move. 

If you’re thinking about buying an 

investment property it’s crucial to do all 

your homework about the ups and downs 

of both investing in property and becoming 

a landlord. There’s a lot to take into account, 

such as the tax implications if the property 

is re-sold within two years (or five, when 

the new Government implements its 

plans). Some councils levy rates differently 

depending on how a property is used, 

which can add significantly to your costs, 

and insuring a tenanted property can cost 

more because rentals are more subject to 

damage. 

When you’re buying a property that is 

vacant you are generally entitled to one 

opportunity to a final inspection of it before 

settlement (when you pay the balance of the 

money to the seller and get the keys). This 

inspection is to make sure that it’s in the 

same or better order as when you viewed 

it and agreed to the sale. If you’re buying 

a property with sitting tenants this process 

is more difficult and can raise all sorts of 

issues. 

To make sure you can still conduct a final 

inspection, we recommend asking your 

lawyer to ensure there is a ‘final inspection’ 

clause inserted in the sale and purchase 

agreement before you sign it. If you’re 

buying a property by auction, you will have 

to negotiate this with the seller (through 

the real estate agent) before the auction 

takes place. You’ll also have to make this 

a condition of the sale if buying by tender 

or deadline sale, if not agreed prior. Your 

lawyer can help you navigate this process. 

You may also wish to seek advice about 

getting a methamphetamine test included 

as a condition of the sale. 

A change of ownership also doesn’t mean 

you have the immediate right to ask the 

current tenants to move out. Generally 

speaking, under the Residential Tenancies 

Act tenants must be given at least 42 days’ 

notice to leave a property. If you want 

the property to be empty when you take 

ownership, you may need to negotiate a 

longer settlement period with the seller 

to enable this. If you’re taking over the 

property with the tenants in place for the 

remainder of their tenancy agreement, the 

previous owner must let the tenants know 

that you are the new owner and give you 

a copy of the existing tenancy agreement. 

When you take over ownership, you must 

tell the tenants your name and contact 

details, and advise them how their rent is 

to be paid. If someone else is managing the 

property for you, let the tenants know who 

to contact in case of any issues. 

Most tenancies require a bond to be paid 

as security in case of any damage or unpaid 

rent. When a tenanted property is sold, the 

seller cannot make a claim to any bond 

unless this is done before the property 

changes hands. It’s a good idea to check 

with your lawyer that any bond conditions 

are spelled out in the sale and purchase 

agreement. 

Lastly, don’t forget to factor in that buying 

an investment property also requires you 

to become a landlord with a long list of 

responsibilities to your tenants. It’s your 

investment, but it’s their home.

selling property, check out www.reaa.

Should you sell 

your house in 

winter? 

Selling a property in winter may seem to go against received wisdom, 

but there are plenty of reasons why it can be a good idea. 

It’s hard to ignore powerful or compelling 

reasons like a change in your work, financial 

or family circumstances, or because the 

timing seems right. In addition, there are 

several other, more tangible upsides to 

selling in winter. 

Firstly, there are often fewer houses on 

the market so there’s less competition. Your 

property is less likely to be lost in a swarm 

of listings and it will be easy to make it stand 

out. People who are looking to buy at this 

time of year are usually highly motivated 

because they need a home sooner rather 

than later. The upside of this is that you may 

get fewer ‘tyre-kickers’ than in the warmer 

months – and increased demand will often 

result in higher prices. 

If you’re selling your property with a 

real estate agent, you need to mine their 

experience. When you’re choosing an agent, 

ask them how houses in your area sell over 

the colder months. It’s in their interests 

to make sure the sale of your property is 

as advantageous as possible; if they think 

you’ll be better off waiting a couple of 

months, they should tell you. They should 

also work with you to work out the best 

times to hold open homes or viewings, 

taking in account shorter sunlight hours. 

You want your property to look attractive, 

inviting and easy to look after – and there 

are plenty of practical steps you can take 

to make it seem an attractive proposition 

on a cold winter’s day. Now’s the time to 

fix any leaks, cracked windows or sticking 

doors or broken drains. All the usual rules 

for preparing a home for sale will apply - 

your buzzwords should be decluttering and 

deep-cleaning. If it has good insulation 

and an efficient heating system, make sure 

these factors are included in any marketing. 

Ensure the house is warm and dry during 

any viewings. 

Don’t forget that people will want to 

look around the outdoor areas too - 

sweep or waterblast paths, mulch garden 

beds and clear gutters. If your garden is 

picture-perfect in summer and spring, 

consider making some photos available so 

prospective buyers can see what they’ve got 

to look forward to. A few colourful plants in 

pots will also help brighten outdoor spaces 

and a new letterbox or freshly painted front 

fence or gate will do wonders for your 

property’s street appeal. 

Prepare well and there’s no reason why 

you can’t successfully sell your property 

before the weather warms up. Sell now and 

you’ll hopefully have lots of properties to 

choose from when you start scanning the 

market in spring.

in the Selwyn District 

New shopping centre 

in Lincoln 

Lincoln is experiencing strong growth, and that is the reason, 

says Broadfield Estates Mike Hobbs, for the development of the 

newly finished shopping complex at 3 Vernon Drive, opposite 

New World Supermarket. 

“Lincoln is continuing to grow, and 

there is some demand for a wider range of 

businesses and services in the community,” 

says Mr Hobbs. 

With up to 1200 new sections still due to 

be released from three large subdivisions, 

the pressure and demand on current 

services in the township is more significant 

than ever. 

Mr Hobbs says the Vernon Drive 

shopping complex offers 11 commercial 

spaces, with five businesses already open 

to the public including The Flaming Rabbit 

Bar & Eatery, Robert Harris, Domino’s 

Pizza, Motus Lincoln Physiotherapy, 

Liquorland and shortly Lincoln Integrated 

Health Doctor and Pharmacy, plus a 

provision for a large gym. 

“We are very pleased to have Integrated 

Health on board and know that having this 

extra facility available will be well received 

within the community.” 

There are three units still available 

to lease, ranging in sizes from 114m2 

to 147m2. Possible businesses could 

be offices, health-related or another 

hospitality, complimentary to but not 

competing with existing tenants. 

Sixty-two carparks are incorporated into 

the complex to make shopping easy and 

stress-free. Mike says Lincoln locals prefer 

to park outside the shop they are visiting 

and believes plenty of parking spaces 

to be an essential part of any shopping 

development. 

In the past, Broadfields Estates has 

developed two other shopping complexes 

in Lincoln including the Gerald and 

Maurice Street corner and 5 Robert 

St. The next development is to be a 

neighbourhood centre at 4 Vernon Drive 

next door to the supermarket. 

With an estimated 7500 people living in 

Lincoln, the needs of the community are 

continuing to grow and Broadfield Estates 

is seeking to cater for this growth with 

well-located premises and good parking. 

To find out more about leasing a 

unit on Vernon Drive or about further 

developments, call Mike Hobbs on 0275 

707674 or email: Mike@bel.nz.
