big thank you to<br />
West Melton<br />
West Melton School pupils Cam and Max have been sent a thank you letter and photo from Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern. The<br />
year 3 pupils sent Ms Ardern hand-made cards on coloured paper with personal messages and name suggestions, as well as<br />
one large card with a class photo on the front, congratulating her on the safe arrival of her baby, Neve. The pupils were happy<br />
to receive the letter as they had never received a personal letter from a prime minister before. Said Ms Ardern: “I absolutely<br />
loved them, and had so much fun looking at all the brilliant drawings and notes you included (even the envelope was beautifully<br />
decorated).” Ms Ardern said during a Facebook live video on Sunday she was “roughly a week out from being officially back on<br />
deck, give or take”.<br />

DISTRICT COUNCILLOR Jeff Bland gives<br />
a great insight into quarrying on page 4<br />
today.<br />
Quarrying is what it is. You cut into the<br />
land for material; you need heavy machinery<br />
and vehicles; and often there is blasting. So it is noisy, dusty<br />
and when it is wet, muddy.<br />
Anyone living nearby cops the problems.<br />
Coming soon is a battle between Templeton and Weedons<br />
residents living close to the planned Fulton Hogan quarry.<br />
It will bring all of the problems mentioned above.<br />
In his column, Bland gives a great example of how a quarry<br />
affected one family’s life.<br />
If the quarry in Templeton is to be stopped from causing the<br />
same issues to many others, there will need to be a number of<br />

The backstory of<br />
T he A natomy of M elancholy • P art i: I dentity<br />
by<br />
Simon van der Sluijs<br />
*Melancholy: a feeling of pensive sadness, typically with no obvious cause.<br />
**Identity: the fact of being who or what a person or thing is.<br />
I have always been fascinated by trying to visualise human nature, who are we, what<br />
drives us, what moves us, and my personal experiences were more than enough to<br />
explore. A trilogy to allow myself to create a deeper narrative to be more universal<br />
and existential rather than being just about me. I chose ‘The Anatomy of Melancholy’<br />
because I feel that it best represents my work and the person I am. Part 1 is about<br />
identity because to me it is the source of melancholy and so that is where the trilogy<br />
needs to start. It shows drawings, paintings and small objects.<br />
Generally the work on show deals with the desire to belong, to be allowed to be, through<br />
confirmation of our fellow beings, and of getting damaged in the process.<br />
There are two separate sections within the exhibition: ‘Little Sorrows’ and ‘Intimacies’<br />
Little Sorrows<br />
Our pets contribute to our identity. Inevitably having a pet also means that the day will<br />
come we have to farewell it ‘Little Sorrows’ is what can happen when we can’t let go<br />
and try to either recreate the friend we were so fond of or make an effort in taxidermy<br />
to preserve through small paintings of mice, hamsters and goldfish and faux taxidermy<br />
objects, mainly in ‘museum boxes’ and under bell jars.<br />
Intimacies (Explicit content)<br />
Sexual identity is the way we think of ourselves in relationship to whom we are<br />
romantically or sexually attracted to. Growing up in a Catholic environment sexuality was<br />
definitely not a topic of discussion or acknowledged as an important part of being. This is<br />
the reason I have made these paintings so small, they fit in a locket and can therefore be<br />
‘locked away’ only to be enjoyed in a private atmosphere.<br />
Part 1 Identity <strong>August</strong> 2<strong>01</strong>8, Part 2 Dissectum April 2<strong>01</strong>9 and Part 3 Lost and Found<br />

Cattle banned from<br />
school pet days due to M. bovis<br />
• By Emily O’Connell<br />
CATTLE HAVE been banned<br />
from attending some <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
school pet days in a bid to stop<br />
the spread of mycoplasma bovis.<br />
Ellesmere College, Leeston<br />
Consolidated School, Southbridge<br />
School and Ladbrooks<br />
School have all taken a stand<br />
against the cattle disease.<br />
In March, the Government<br />
signed off on the culling of<br />
thousands of animals in a bid to<br />
eradicate the disease.<br />
The Ellesmere Agricultural<br />
Science and Technology club<br />
runs the annual pet day for<br />
Leeston Consolidated School,<br />
Southbridge School and year 7<br />
and 8s students from Ellesmere<br />
College.<br />
Club president Jo Benny said<br />
there will be no cattle on site<br />
during its pet day on November<br />
2, but there may be an electronic<br />
solution.<br />
“I have signed up to a Facebook<br />
page that are looking to<br />
start an online calf club, so kids<br />
can still present their pet calves,<br />
just electronically,” she said.<br />
Mrs Benny said it was “bound<br />
by” the Ellesmere A & P Show’s<br />
decision not to have cattle, as it<br />
BANNED: Cattle have been banned from some <strong>Selwyn</strong> school<br />
pet days to prevent the spread of mycoplasma bovis.<br />
holds its pet days at the showgrounds.<br />
In spite of the ban, Ladbrooks<br />
School is hopeful judges may be<br />
able to visit each property and<br />
assess the cattle individually.<br />
On Friday, the number of<br />
active infected properties with<br />
mycoplasma bovis in Canterbury<br />
was 19, said a Ministry for<br />
Primary Industries report.<br />
Ellesmere A & P Show<br />
2<strong>01</strong>9<br />
ON THE DOMAIN LINCOLN 2 MARCH 2<strong>01</strong>9<br />
president Trevor Hobson said it<br />
made the call to ban cattle as the<br />
disease is present in <strong>Selwyn</strong> and<br />
it cannot risk spreading it any<br />
further.<br />
“It was a commonsense<br />
decision. There will be<br />
no backlash from it. It is<br />
disappointing to see it happen,<br />
but it was the sensible decision to<br />
make,” Mr Hobson said.<br />
He was uncertain as to how<br />
long it would be until the show<br />
would accept cattle entries again.<br />
However, cattle classes will<br />
be included in November’s<br />
Canterbury A & P Show.<br />
Show staff said it is<br />
exploring measures to limit<br />
the risk of mycoplasma bovis<br />
contamination.<br />
More than 50 cattle breeders<br />
and show staff attended an<br />
exhibitors meeting recently, with<br />
the majority indicating they<br />
were willing to show stock at the<br />

Your Local Views<br />
Keep quarries away from residents<br />
District<br />
councillor<br />
Jeff Bland<br />
writes about<br />
his opinion on<br />
quarrying<br />
RECENTLY I received an<br />
email, which read “as our<br />
elected representative what is<br />
your personal view about the<br />
quarry that Fulton Hogan wish<br />
to establish at the corner of<br />
Dawsons and Curraghs Rds, near<br />
Templeton?”<br />
Before I share with you my<br />
reply I will tell you a little bit<br />
about me.<br />
A fair while ago I worked for<br />
a large organisation that owned<br />
and operated a number of<br />
quarries. The stone from these<br />
quarries was used in river work<br />
and stop bank protection.<br />
I was young and working in<br />
this environment was exciting.<br />
Quarries were noisy, dusty and<br />
dangerous. I loved handling the<br />
explosives, operating the drilling<br />
rigs and jackhammers.<br />
It was hard dirty work but well<br />
paid and rewarding.<br />
The biggest quarry we worked<br />
was a huge towering cliff, not<br />
benched, nearly 125m in height.<br />
It was in a rural farmland<br />
environment.<br />
OPINION: District councillor Jeff Bland writes about why he<br />
believes quarries “must be” located well away from existing<br />
houses.<br />
Unfortunately, there was one<br />
house located about 200m from<br />
the quarry entrance. The owner<br />
of this house we will call Mr<br />
Smith.<br />
It would be fair to say that Mr<br />
Smith hated us quarry workers<br />
for very good reason. His home<br />
was constantly exposed to the<br />
stone dust drifting out of the<br />
quarry.<br />
He was tortured by the<br />
incessant hammering of<br />
the drilling rig and the jack<br />
hammers. The noise of trucks<br />
grinding their way out to the<br />
weighbridge, then to the quarry<br />
entrance directly opposite his<br />
front gate was relentless.<br />
His children trudging home<br />
from school had to walk through<br />
the often wet grass, the roads<br />
were busy, the trucks large and<br />
often overloaded.<br />
If this wasn’t bad enough,<br />
after one quarry blast, a piece<br />
of granite the size of a football<br />
crashed through the roof of his<br />
house.<br />
Mr Smith often used to stand<br />
opposite the quarry shaking his<br />
fist and cursing us.<br />
The boss said to ignore him<br />
as he was just a bit nuts. Back<br />
then if you stood in the way of<br />
progress you were belittled. Mr<br />
Smith was just one voice and the<br />
quarry owners were many.<br />
The quarry has been closed<br />
for many years now. Mr Smith’s<br />
house may still have the<br />
mismatched sheet of corrugated<br />
iron on the roof.<br />
The rivers are confined by the<br />
stop banks, the farmers have<br />
prospered and everyone has<br />
forgotten what happened.<br />
But I haven’t. I see the<br />
similarities to the Templeton<br />
situation. Small man versus large<br />
company shareholders wanting<br />
to maximise its profit.<br />
The noise, the dust, the trucks<br />
grinding their way from the<br />
quarry floor onto roads not<br />
designed for their size or weight,<br />
kids walking in the grass. The<br />
company employees are just<br />
doing their job. I accept that<br />
we need gravel for roads. It is<br />
progress, but progress comes<br />
at a cost not usually borne by<br />
company shareholders.<br />
Now getting back to my reply.<br />
I am of the opinion that quarries<br />
must be located well away from<br />
existing houses.<br />
In this case, there will no<br />
doubt be arguments put forward<br />
by those promoting the quarry<br />
and those opposing it.<br />
I suspect that this will end<br />
up going through a hearing<br />
process and a commissioner<br />
will be appointed to listen to<br />
both arguments. It will be in this<br />
forum that the matter will be<br />
decided. However, don’t underestimate<br />
the power of public<br />
opinion. Those that are worried<br />
about the location of this quarry<br />
should voice their concern, stand<br />
united. Public opinion may well<br />
influence the outcome.<br />
Don’t be like Mr Smith,<br />
shaking your fist and cursing<br />
the workers once the quarry is<br />
operating will be pointless.<br />
•This is my opinion only<br />
and should not be construed<br />
as an opinion of the district<br />
council<br />

FLAIR FOR FASHION: Kim and Paul Strange are looking forward to seeing their design on stage<br />
at the World of Wearable Art awards.<br />
Designers on world stage<br />
• By Emily O’Connell<br />
DOYLESTON designer Loretta<br />
Sloan and Prebbleton couple Kim<br />
and Paul Strange are finalists<br />
in the World of Wearable Art<br />
awards.<br />
About 60,000 people are<br />
expected to attend WOW’s 30th<br />
season in Wellington from September<br />
27 to October 14.<br />
Mrs Strange, who is the driving<br />
force behind Art Couture<br />
NZ’s wearable arts competition,<br />
said their design was based on<br />
the sense of sight and incorporates<br />
recyclable materials.<br />
She said her husband, who<br />
works in information technology,<br />
brought a practical aspect to<br />
their team, while she’s the creative<br />
influence.<br />
“It’s been really good and it’s<br />
actually been really cool doing it<br />
together,” Mrs Strange said.<br />
She said it took them about<br />
six months to put the design<br />
together, working in their spare<br />
time.<br />
They were looking forward to<br />
travelling up to Wellington to see<br />
their design on the stage.<br />
“We’ve already talked about<br />
more that we will do together,”<br />
Mrs Strange said.<br />
Mrs Sloan is also happy to have<br />
her work displayed on a world<br />
stage.<br />
She has been entering the competition<br />
since 2<strong>01</strong>0 and says this<br />
year’s piece came from the heart<br />
and was a “tribute to a family<br />

Mrs Sloan said the design<br />
took a couple of months to put<br />
together, including testing and<br />
samples.<br />

DEVELOPMENT: A resource consent application has been<br />
received for a Fresh Choice supermarket and retail facility in<br />
Prebbleton. <br />
Retail boom looms<br />
•From page 1<br />
Deputy Mayor Malcolm Lyall,<br />
who lives in Prebbleton and is<br />
the district council’s representative<br />
on the community association<br />
committee, said the plan<br />
was “fantastic.”<br />
“It’s the sort of services our<br />
community have been needing<br />
for a long time,” he said.<br />
Mr Lyall said some Prebbleton<br />
residents might be a “little negative”<br />
about it but on the whole,<br />
people will be supportive.<br />
In February, resource consent<br />
was granted for a major<br />
redevelopment of the Prebbleton<br />
Tavern site on the corner of<br />
Tosswill and Springs Rds. Plans<br />
include retail, health, a cinema,<br />
a 30-unit motel, two residential<br />
units, along with tavern<br />
renovations and associated<br />
parking and landscaping.<br />

CHANGES: The district council will build a fence in the Rolleston dog park<br />
within the next few weeks.<br />
Fence to separate club<br />
and public at dog park<br />
• By Emily O’Connell<br />
A FENCE will be built at the Rolleston<br />
dog park so part of it can be closed off to<br />
the public at certain times.<br />
The fence will separate off the area used<br />
by the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Dog Training Club.<br />
The district council is behind the idea,<br />
which will take place at the<br />
Foster Park Dog Exercise Area<br />
on the corner of Springston,<br />
Rolleston and Goulds Rds.<br />
District council major projects<br />
property manager John<br />
Reid said the fence is a result<br />
of complaints from people<br />
about training sessions being<br />
difficult to conduct when other<br />
dogs are running through the<br />
area.<br />
“Public dog owners are also<br />
finding it hard to supervise<br />
their dogs without interrupting<br />
dog training,” he said.<br />
The <strong>Selwyn</strong> Dog Training Club uses<br />
the park on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and<br />
Thursdays from 6.30-9pm, on Sundays<br />
from 10am-noon and on the occasional<br />
weekend for competitions.<br />
Mr Reid said the exact size of the fence<br />
has not been decided, but design work<br />
should be completed in the next few<br />
weeks.<br />
“The total area of the proposed fenced<br />
area will be less than half the dog park,”<br />
he said.<br />
Although the district council is still<br />
John Reid<br />
waiting on final quotes for the fence,<br />
Mr Reid said it’s expected to cost about<br />
$5000-$7000.<br />
“This cost has been budgeted for in the<br />
council forward budgets,” he said.<br />
Mr Reid said the fence will be a<br />
permanent structure. However, it is<br />
described as “temporary” because it will<br />
have a number of large gates<br />
that will be left open, except<br />
when the club is running a<br />
training session.<br />
“For the vast majority of<br />
the time, the whole park will<br />
continue to be available for use<br />
by the general public,” he said.<br />
Rolleston resident Mark<br />
Melhuish and his dogs use the<br />
park twice daily. He said the<br />
district council’s decision to<br />
build a fence in the park was “a<br />
little bit ridiculous.”<br />
“By cutting the park in half,<br />
you’re not actually able to run your dogs at<br />
a full speed across the park really,” he said.<br />
Mr Melhuish said with Rolleston’s growing<br />
population, the club should look at an<br />
alternative facility.<br />
“You’re ruining a perfectly good park for<br />
the sake of a minority group,” he said.<br />
However, Mr Reid said the district<br />
council supports the club’s activities in the<br />
park. “It was this club that originally advocated<br />
for the dog park, which it believed<br />
could be used by both the club and the<br />
general public,” he said.<br />

Katelyn Twiss<br />
Ellesmere teenager thriving in<br />
Although only 15-years-old, Leeston’s Katelyn Twiss has taken on<br />
leadership roles at Ellesmere College, the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Youth Council<br />
and Students Against Dangerous Driving. Emily O’Connell talks<br />
to her about balancing school work with her busy lifestyle<br />
Can you tell me about<br />
the different things you are<br />
involved in?<br />
I’m on the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Youth<br />
Council, I’m actually the deputy<br />
chair. I’m a national leader for<br />
SADD, which is Students<br />
Against Dangerous Driving. I<br />
play rugby on Wednesdays for<br />
the Forward Foundation. The<br />
Forward Foundation allows us<br />
to play because there’s a mixture<br />
of different schools which don’t<br />
have enough for one team so<br />
we just combine and play on<br />
Wednesdays. It’s good, there’s<br />
only about four of us from Ellesmere<br />
who play. I’m also a prefect<br />
at school.<br />
Can you tell me about<br />
speaking at the Local<br />
Government New Zealand<br />
conference in Christchurch<br />
recently?<br />
It was so exciting because it<br />
was just such a big platform to<br />
be able to speak at and to be able<br />
to represent the youth council at<br />
such a high level and talk about<br />
what we’ve done was honestly<br />
such an honour. I found it more<br />
exciting than nerve-racking.<br />
Did you feel nervous at all?<br />
Yes I did a little bit. I think I<br />
was just more nervous because<br />
I just didn’t want to muck up on<br />
stage, but then by the end of the<br />
day, my excitement contained<br />
my nerves so it was really good.<br />
Who were you most excited to<br />
meet at the conference?<br />
We didn’t get to see everyone<br />
because it was a three-day event<br />
and we were only there for our<br />
session. Mark Sainsbury was the<br />
host, it was pretty cool to meet<br />
him.<br />
What did you take away from<br />
the experience?<br />
Definitely public speaking<br />
skills and just to be confident<br />
and just get up there and speak<br />
because it was a once in a lifetime<br />
experience.<br />
How long have you played<br />
rugby?<br />
I’ve been playing rugby my<br />
whole life. So I started when I<br />
was young. I started playing with<br />
the guys when I was five-yearsold,<br />
and then when I hit year 9,<br />
I transitioned from playing on<br />
weekends, because I got too old<br />
to playing on Wednesdays for<br />
school.<br />
Is rugby your favourite sport?<br />
One of them, yeah. I really<br />
like basketball as well but I don’t<br />
play it.<br />
Do you play any other<br />
sports?<br />
No.<br />
How did you get involved<br />
in SADD?<br />
Last year I attended one<br />
of their local events at<br />
the <strong>Selwyn</strong> council<br />
building. I was<br />
like “oh, I will<br />
go along,<br />
it will be<br />
good to<br />
get it going in school.” From<br />
there that progressed to going<br />
to the conference last<br />
year, which was held in<br />
Christchurch, and then<br />
there were a few of<br />
us at school who<br />
said, ‘right, let’s do<br />
some activities<br />
around SADD at<br />
school’ because it<br />
had kind of been<br />
a bit absent in our<br />
school for a while.<br />
The other students<br />
were year<br />
13 so this year I<br />
was really keen to<br />
go to the conference<br />
again and try<br />
get SADD going<br />
in school because I<br />
think it’s just such a<br />
good organisation. The<br />
national leadership<br />
programme is open to<br />
year 12 students so I<br />
thought why not just<br />
go for it? Because<br />
it’s such a good<br />
thing to be involved<br />
with<br />
and I just<br />
really<br />
wanted<br />
to be involved<br />
and<br />
help<br />
at a<br />
LEADER: Leeston’s Katelyn Twiss, 15, is a deputy prefect at Ellesmere College.<br />

national level with SADD, rather<br />
than just within my school. So<br />
I applied for it and I was really<br />
fortunate to get in.<br />
How did you come to<br />
be deputy prefect at just<br />
15-years-old?<br />
I just love getting involved in<br />
anything to do with whanau<br />
spirit in school. And this year<br />
there was an opening for a year<br />
12 student to be a deputy prefect.<br />
They asked me and I said why<br />
not? Then I was lucky enough to<br />
get the position as well.<br />
How did you feel when you<br />
were announced as deputy<br />
prefect?<br />
I wasn’t at school as I was on a<br />
geography field trip, but I when<br />
got the news I was really happy.<br />
Does being involved in a lot<br />
of different activities get too<br />
much sometimes?<br />
Definitely, because I always put<br />
school work first so, especially<br />
now in year 12, it can get quite<br />
overwhelming sometimes. I also<br />
do admin work on Tuesdays<br />
and Thursdays after school<br />
at Cochranes of Canterbury<br />
in Leeston. So it gets quite<br />
overwhelming sometimes, but I<br />
have good support around me.<br />
I have a really great family who<br />
are always keen to help me out<br />
and are always there for me and<br />
a really great group of friends.<br />
When did you join the <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
Youth Council?<br />
When I was in year 10, I went<br />
on a youth leadership weekend,<br />
which I just saw an ad in the<br />
newspaper for, and I was like<br />
“sweet, I’ll just go for it.” And<br />
then I got accepted into that and<br />
it was run by the youth council,<br />
and it was sort of introducing us<br />
to leadership, which I think was<br />
really cool. In year 11, so<br />
last year, we had to apply the<br />
year before, I applied for it and<br />
I was really fortunate to get in<br />
as well. It’s a two-year term so<br />
this is my second year on youth<br />
council.<br />
Will you apply again next<br />
year?<br />
Definitely. It’s been such a<br />
rewarding experience for me.<br />

leadership roles<br />
Whitecliffs<br />
loses identity<br />
to Glentunnel<br />
INSPIRATION: <strong>Selwyn</strong> Youth Council deputy chairwoman Katelyn Twiss (right) looks up to her<br />
friend and chairwoman Paige Sullivan.<br />
What has been the most<br />
rewarding project you’ve been<br />
involved in?<br />
Probably the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Link bus<br />
trial, which is what we’re doing at<br />
the youth council at the moment.<br />
So it’s been a two-year process<br />
and we’re finally coming towards<br />
the end part. We’ve had the trial<br />
for the bus between Southbridge<br />
and Darfield and Darfield to<br />
Southbridge via Rolleston, and<br />
now we are finally in a position<br />
where we can do something<br />
about it.<br />
How do you balance school<br />
work with everything else going<br />
on?<br />
I think I just have to make sure<br />
that I always know what is going<br />
on and I just have to plan ahead.<br />
So with assessments and stuff, I<br />
have to make sure I know when<br />
they are due and I always have<br />
time set aside for them and I just<br />
make sure I get them done.<br />
What would you like to do<br />
when you finish high school?<br />
I really want to do a law degree<br />
and where I go from that, I’m<br />
not quite that sure, but I want a<br />
career involved in law.<br />
Why law?<br />
I don’t really have an exact<br />
reason why, I’ve always just<br />
gravitated towards stuff<br />
surrounding it. I find it really<br />
interesting and I want to explore<br />
it more as I grow older.<br />
What’s your favourite thing<br />
to do to relax?<br />
Listen to music. I just love<br />
listening to music and just<br />
chilling out. Sometimes I play<br />
on my guitar a bit and hanging<br />
out with friends and going to<br />
the gym as well I find that quite<br />
relaxing.<br />
Are you quite musical?<br />
I used to be really heavily<br />
involved in singing when I was<br />
younger but now it’s more of a<br />
hobby, I just sing and play the<br />
guitar when I have time.<br />
Do you have any siblings?<br />
I do. I have twin sisters, Laura<br />
and Emma, who are 19-yearsold.<br />
They both live in Dunedin<br />
and one studies at Otago<br />
University and one studies at the<br />
polytechnic in Otago.<br />
Who do you look up to?<br />
My friend Paige Sullivan,<br />
who is the chair of the youth<br />
council. I think she inspired me<br />
to get involved in a lot of things<br />
because she did that herself.<br />
It’s really rewarding having her<br />
as a friend but also someone I<br />
can look up to and see all the<br />
amazing things she does and<br />
then it motivates me to get<br />
involved in anything I can.<br />
What is your favourite subject<br />
at school and why?<br />
Oh, that’s a tough one.<br />
Surprisingly, I actually really<br />
like geography, I’m finding it<br />
really good this year. I do love<br />
english because it allows you to<br />
be perceptive so you can relate<br />
things to the real world.<br />
What has been the most<br />
valuable lesson you’ve learnt?<br />
I think just be yourself. When<br />
I’m just myself, I feel really<br />
good and I know that I’m<br />
being true to myself and it can<br />
sometimes reflect on other<br />
people as well.<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-<br />
Harding<br />
FIRE OFFICERS in<br />
Wellington have upset<br />
residents living in Whitecliffs<br />
by telling them they live in<br />
Glentunnel.<br />
Concern has been raised<br />
Whitecliffs is losing its<br />
identity and people could get<br />
confused over the township’s<br />
official address.<br />
The issue was brought to<br />
the Whitecliffs Township<br />
Committee by resident Mike<br />
Ransome.<br />
Mr Ransome told <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
<strong>Times</strong> he has been pushing for<br />
the issue to be resolved for the<br />
past eight months and hasn’t<br />
got anywhere.<br />
“It irks me because I feel<br />
Whitecliffs is losing its identity.<br />
It would be like people<br />
living in West Melton being<br />
told they suddenly live in<br />
Christchurch,” he said.<br />
A Fire and Emergency New<br />
Zealand spokesman said it<br />
has received a request from<br />
the district council to add<br />
Whitecliffs to the New Zealand<br />
Localities Dataset.<br />
It is currently considering<br />
this request.<br />
The spokesman confirmed<br />
properties in Whitecliffs are<br />
presently classified as Glentunnel.<br />
The data set is maintained<br />
by FENZ to reduce the risk<br />
of confusion and, any consequent<br />
delays in dispatching<br />
crews to fires and other emergencies.<br />
A New Zealand Post<br />
spokeswoman said a creation<br />
of a new locality of Whitecliffs<br />
is being considered.<br />
She said NZ Post was unable<br />
to make any decisions<br />
for this change without<br />
agreement from a consortium<br />
made up of FENZ, territorial<br />
authorities and Land and<br />
Information New Zealand.<br />
Mr Ransome said he cannot<br />
understand what the fire<br />
service has to do with determining<br />
the official addresses<br />
in the first place.<br />
“I object to some pen pusher<br />
up there (Wellington) telling<br />
me where I live,” he said.<br />
Whitecliffs is currently<br />
serviced by a rural driver in<br />
Coalgate, and is included in<br />
the locality of Glentunnel<br />
meaning their address is<br />
street number and name followed<br />
by RD1 Coalgate.<br />
But Coalgate chief fire officer<br />
Phillip Shaw said when<br />
the firecrew is dispatched to<br />
the township, properties are<br />
classified as Whitecliffs.<br />
“We are not being confused.<br />
We don’t have any issues with<br />
it,” he said.<br />
On Google Maps, the townships’<br />
main road - Hartleys<br />
Rd leading up to the Whitecliffs<br />
Domain, falls under<br />
Glentunnel.<br />
Across the <strong>Selwyn</strong> River /<br />
Waikirikiri, Riversleigh Rd,<br />
Whitecliffs Rd and Flagpole<br />
Rd is named Malvern Hills.<br />
Township committee<br />
chairwoman Jodie Thompson<br />
said while she didn’t see the<br />
township losing its identity,<br />
it would be easier if the mail<br />
address was Whitecliffs.<br />

hard work, ability to problemsolve<br />
and, most of all, courage<br />
and determination.<br />
Local real estate agents Joe<br />
and Tracey Brankin have<br />
proven they have plenty of these<br />
characteristics in restoring<br />
White’s Courtenay Hotel, one of<br />
the district’s oldest buildings.<br />
The old hotel has significant<br />
historical importance to the<br />
district in that it was the earliest<br />
centre of local government. The<br />
East Rakaia and North East<br />
Roads boards held their first ever<br />
meeting (and subsequent meetings)<br />
in the lounge of the hotel<br />
in July 1865. These boards later<br />
morphed into the Courtenay<br />
Roads Board, the Malvern County<br />
Council, and latter, the <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
District Council. The building is<br />
also the sole remaining dwelling<br />
of a series of hotels and accommodation<br />
houses – such as<br />
the Halfway House Hotel near<br />
Courtenay, the Miner’s Arms at<br />
Halkett and the Clare Inch Hotel<br />
at Little Racecourse Hill – which<br />
had been established along the<br />
Old West Coast Rd and have<br />
long-since gone.<br />
Although it has mostly been<br />
used as a private residence, the<br />
building was a purpose-built<br />
hotel when erected by Charles<br />
White in 1864. White had<br />
previously established a smaller<br />
hotel on the river flat near the<br />
Courtenay punt to service those<br />
crossing the Waimakariri River.<br />
He subsequently built the larger<br />
nine-bedroom, wooden weatherboard<br />
hotel alongside what was<br />
then the main West Coast Rd<br />
to provide accommodation and<br />
meals for the increasing volume<br />
100%<br />
CapItal GaIn<br />
to the ResIDent<br />
of travellers passing through to<br />
the West Coast.<br />
The hotel provided services<br />
for the Cobb & Co horse-drawn<br />
coaches and passengers from<br />
1866 when the road over Arthur’s<br />
Pass was opened. Officially<br />
licensed as the Courtenay Hotel,<br />
the establishment was commonly<br />
known as White’s Hotel and it<br />
served as a staging station where<br />
the coaches changed horses. The<br />
stables at the rear of the hotel<br />
have long since gone.<br />
The hotel became an important<br />
centre for the community,<br />
where a post office and telephone<br />
exchange were eventually housed<br />
within the building and local<br />
meetings were regularly held in<br />
the two lounges and tap room<br />
(bar).<br />
When Charles White died in<br />
1869 his wife Mary Ann and<br />
son, George, kept the business<br />
going, but the days of the hotel<br />
were numbered. The new railway<br />
from Rolleston to Kirwee was<br />
completed in 1871, which took<br />
most of the traffic away from the<br />
Old West Coast Rd. The growth<br />
of Kirwee led to the demise of<br />
businesses in Courtenay, which<br />
included the hotel, along with a<br />
store, a blacksmith, an Orange<br />
Lodge Hall and a library. About<br />
this time, the hotel license was<br />
transferred to the Kirwee Hotel,<br />
with White’s then becoming<br />
a private residence. However,<br />
the Post Office was retained in<br />
the building until 1924, when it<br />
closed.<br />
In 1902, the property was<br />
purchased by Jack Bedford and<br />
remained in the family until<br />
1994. By that time the building<br />
had been unoccupied since 1963<br />
and was derelict. An internal<br />
chimney and one of the two sets<br />
of stairs had collapsed, with the<br />

weather and vandals adding to<br />
the general deterioration of the<br />
building.<br />
As early as 1970, a local<br />
newspaper reported the likely<br />
destruction of the historically<br />
significant building, as the owner<br />
and the Historical Places Trust<br />
were not in financial positions to<br />
restore the property. At this time<br />
prospective buyers were put off<br />
by restrictive planning by-laws,<br />
with the old Town and Country<br />
Planning Act discouraging any<br />
potential restoration.<br />
However, in 1993 resource<br />
consent to subdivide the land<br />
and restore the building was<br />
gained, resulting in the property<br />
being purchased by John and<br />
Diane Sugrue. Their initial vision<br />
$1,000 FullY<br />
ReFunDable<br />
DeposIt<br />
was to restore the building to<br />
its original state and operate a<br />
country bar and restaurant. Over<br />
12 months, the couple cleared<br />
the site of overgrown vegetation,<br />
guttered the building interior<br />
and exterior and prepared it for<br />
restoration.<br />
By 1995, the building was<br />
weather-proof and to a lock-up<br />
stage. However, it was not until<br />
2007 that the interior framing,<br />
wiring and water system installation<br />
was completed. At this<br />
stage, the exterior restoration<br />
had been done, and in 2<strong>01</strong>2 their<br />
efforts were recognised when<br />
they won the Heritage Restoration<br />
category of the Canterbury<br />
Heritage Awards.<br />
The second stage of the restoration<br />
came about when Joe and<br />
Tracey Brankin purchased the<br />
building in September 2<strong>01</strong>4. Joe<br />
had been asked to market the<br />
property, but ended up buying<br />
it himself for a family home. Joe<br />
had grown up in the area and<br />
became passionate about the potential<br />
in the restoration project.<br />
At this time, the interior only<br />
consisted of a concrete floor and<br />
some structural internal walls.<br />
After discussions with<br />
Heritage New Zealand and the<br />
district council, the Brankins<br />
quickly set about sympathetically<br />
renovating the old hotel into<br />
a comfortable modern home,<br />
based on the original footprint<br />
and incorporating existing features,<br />
such as a hidden staircase<br />
and the original second storey<br />
floor and layout. A new main<br />
staircase was built and several<br />
internal walls were either moved<br />
or taken out. Replacement Kauri<br />
doors were installed and the<br />
décor now includes lamp shades<br />
and an old 1920s telephone that<br />
are not only in keeping with<br />
the character of the building,<br />
but also are a reminder of its<br />
past use. By December 2<strong>01</strong>4, the<br />
couple were able to move into the<br />
old hotel, being the first residents<br />
since 1963.<br />
Joe and Tracey spent the<br />
following year completing the<br />
landscaping of the grounds in<br />
character with the history of<br />
the property, which includes<br />
adornments such as wine barrels<br />
and a horse-drawn cart and gig –<br />
both more than 100-years-old.<br />
Through their combined<br />
efforts, the Brankins and<br />
Sugrues have not only saved a<br />
historic building from imminent<br />
destruction, but have also<br />
preserved for future generations<br />
an increasingly rare physical<br />
reminder of the district’s colonial<br />
past.<br />

a heritage-listed building should<br />

UNIQUE: Elite Meats owner Corey Winder parks up every<br />
Thursday in Rolleston. <br />
A MOBILE butcher has taken off<br />
in Rolleston.<br />
Elite Meats owner Corey<br />
Winder has expanded his business<br />
by setting up a moveable<br />
butchery from a small truck.<br />
Mr Winder, who has been a<br />
butcher since he was 19-yearsold,<br />
said the reaction has been<br />
“amazing.”<br />
“People have just been blown<br />
away by it,” he said.<br />
The idea for the mobile<br />
butchery came from residents’<br />
requests to have a shop in other<br />
places, such as Rolleston and<br />
West Melton.<br />
“I thought, well, it’s not that<br />
easy to open a butcher shop, so<br />
I’ll see if I can get a mobile one<br />
going,” Mr Winder said.<br />
He is selling the same products<br />
found in the Elite Meats store in<br />
Bush Inn.<br />
“If we haven’t got it on the<br />
truck, then we take orders and<br />
we take the order out of whatever<br />
they want the following<br />
week,” Mr Winder said.<br />
In March, Mr Winder was<br />
named in the all star team at the<br />
World Butchers’ Challenge in<br />
Northern Ireland. His team, the<br />
Pure South Sharp Blacks, finished<br />
second in the competition.<br />
The mobile butcher will<br />
be open outside the South<br />
Point complex in Faringdon,<br />
Rolleston, on Thursdays, from<br />
2-6.30pm, and 9am-5.30pm<br />
outside Vegeland on Marshland<br />

Jail for dog park crash driver<br />
Convicted<br />
killer gets<br />
15 months<br />
A CONVICTED killer who<br />
crashed through the Rolleston<br />
dog park fence after a high speed<br />
chase has been jailed for 15<br />
months.<br />
John Oliver Jamieson, 31, was<br />
sentenced on Thursday in the<br />
Christchurch District Court on<br />
driving charges and unlawful<br />
possession of a .22 rifle and<br />
ammunition found in the car at<br />
the end of the June 2 incident.<br />
Jamieson was jailed in 2009<br />
for nine years for manslaughter<br />
for the death of Wayne Kerry<br />
Bray, who was kicked to death in<br />
a group street assault in Timaru<br />
the previous year.<br />
He was also found guilty last<br />
year of threatening to chop<br />
his wife’s head off during an<br />
argument over the telephone.<br />
On Thursday, his lawyer Paul<br />
Johnson said Jamieson had<br />
written an “insightful” letter<br />
of apology and accepted that<br />
methamphetamine was the<br />
issue for his rehabilitation. He<br />
had already contacted Odyssey<br />
House about the possibility of a<br />
rehabilitation placement there.<br />
But Judge Brian Callaghan said<br />
the Court of Appeal had said<br />
that the courts should impose<br />
sentences that showed society’s<br />
condemnation on those who had<br />
firearms unlawfully.<br />
Judge Callaghan said Jamieson<br />
had been gravely affected by<br />
PHOTO: BARRY CLARKE<br />
the death of his mother last<br />
year and his behaviour had<br />
changed when he started using<br />
methamphetamine again.<br />
The court heard on June<br />
2 Jamieson drove on State<br />
Highway 1 towards Burnham, at<br />
180km/h while overtaking other<br />
cars in a passing lane.<br />
Police followed him with<br />
their sirens and lights on, but<br />
IMPACT: John<br />
Oliver Jamieson<br />
(above) has<br />
been sentenced<br />
to 15 months<br />
jail following<br />
his crash into a<br />
Rolleston dog<br />
park fence on<br />
June 2.<br />
he crossed the double yellow<br />
lines into the south-bound lane<br />
to overtake other north-bound<br />
cars.<br />
He remained on the wrong<br />
side of the road until the end of<br />
the passing lane, still travelling at<br />
high speed.<br />
He turned too fast into Tennyson<br />
St, Rolleston, and went off<br />
the road, across the grass area<br />
of the BP service station, and<br />
narrowly missed the KFC sign,<br />
before going back on the road.<br />
At the junction with Lowes<br />
Rd he went onto the wrong<br />
side of the road again, around a<br />
roundabout the wrong way, hit<br />
another car causing minor<br />
damage, before leaving the road<br />
and crashing into a dog park<br />
fence.<br />
Police found a firearm in<br />
his car and charged him with<br />
driving dangerously, driving<br />
while disqualified, failing to stop<br />
for police, driving recklessly,<br />
driving carelessly, and unlawful<br />
possession of a pistol – a sawn off<br />
.22 rifle.<br />
Jamieson pleaded guilty on<br />
July 9 to charges of driving<br />
dangerously, driving while<br />
disqualified, failing to stop<br />
for police, driving recklessly,<br />
driving carelessly, and unlawful<br />
possession of the rifle.<br />
Judge Callaghan also imposed<br />
18 months’ disqualification from<br />
driving on top of his current<br />
term – he won’t get his licence<br />
back until May 2020.<br />
The judge also ordered him<br />
to pay $1035 reparations to the<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> District Council for<br />
the damage he did to the dog<br />
park.<br />
Will Springston Primary retain the Kea Trophy?<br />
As Schools return to their hard work – Lincoln<br />
Envirotown are hoping that many of them will<br />
find some time to “Focus For Future” and<br />
complete their productions to The <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
Environmental Film Competition.<br />
Last year it was won by a group of Springston<br />
Primary students whose excellent puppet<br />
eels showed us the threats they face in our<br />
waterways.<br />
The competition is open to all and we look<br />
forward to entries from individuals, high<br />
school groups, clubs and others as we have<br />
seen in previous years.<br />
It is an enjoyable way of doing one’s bit for<br />
the Environment.<br />
Any combination of animation, video or slides<br />
can be used to deliver your environmental<br />
message. Films which have been made for<br />
other purposes can be entered providing<br />
they satisfy the criteria of the competition.<br />
Entries close on <strong>August</strong> 31st and the Awards<br />
will be presented at an “Oscar like” ceremony<br />
on Friday September 14th. All the films will be<br />
shown and there are different category prizes<br />
with the Kea Trophy as the ultimate goal.<br />

We’re also seeking interest from cultural and ethnic art and<br />
craft stalls as well as groups or agencies providing services and<br />
activities for <strong>Selwyn</strong> residents and have something to offer our<br />
newcomers and migrants.<br />
One of the best parts of CultureFest is the amazing range of food<br />

ON THE<br />
ROADS<br />
On the roads this week<br />
Unsealed maintenance metalling is being undertaken on Brookside Road,<br />
Thomsons Road and Hoskyns Road (SH73 to Station Road). Unsealed repairs are<br />
being carried out on Midhurst Road, Coaltrack Road and Scotts Road. Please drive<br />
with care through all sites.<br />
Footpath repair work is being undertaken in Kirwee with some sections of the<br />
footpath closed.<br />
Maintenance grading will be taking place in the Hororata, Glenroy, Southbridge, Doyleston, Greendale<br />
and Coalgate areas.<br />
Drivers on Wards Road will be asked to stop on request, as stabilised seal repairs are completed on<br />
Wednesday and Thursday.<br />
The new community centre – which has recently had the roof<br />
and façades installed – is expected to be completed in October<br />
this year.<br />
By the time of completion construction would have taken 13<br />
months, with it starting in September 2<strong>01</strong>7.<br />
The new community centre will have a meeting space, indoor sport<br />
facilities, a scout hall, Plunket room, a play centre as well as the<br />
ability to adapt to other community activities.<br />
The $5.8 facility replaces the old community hall which had<br />
sustained earthquake damage. The new community centre is<br />
much larger, and is better designed to cope with the needs of a<br />
growing population.<br />

Mike Bowie is an ecologist<br />

week he introduces a<br />
new species found in his<br />

TWO WEEKS ago I found a<br />
small larva in the empty bath,<br />
which I carefully brushed into a<br />
specimen tube to view under the<br />
microscope.<br />
Closer inspection revealed that<br />
the 6mm larva was an australian<br />
carpet beetle, Anthrenocerus<br />
australis, one of two common<br />
carpet beetle species found in<br />
New Zealand.<br />
The larvae are slow-moving,<br />
bristly, brown and white striped<br />
pests, as opposed to the smaller<br />
SLOW-MOVING: The australian carpet beetle larvae feed on<br />
carpets, woollen fabrics, fur, feathers and even dead insects in<br />
museums.<br />
2-3mm, harmless, oval-shaped<br />
adults.<br />
The attractively patterned<br />
adults are pollen feeders,<br />
commonly seen on parsley<br />
flowers, whereas the destructive<br />
larvae feed on carpets, woollen<br />
fabrics, fur, feathers and even<br />
dead insects in museums.<br />
Their cast exoskeletons and<br />
frass, insect poo, can be a<br />
clue you have an infestation,<br />
which can be dealt with by<br />
freezing, steam cleaning, boric<br />
acid or synthetic pyrethroid<br />
insecticides, depending on what<br />
is infested.<br />
Carpet beetles take between<br />
nine to 12 months to complete a<br />
generation, depending on local<br />
temperatures.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> United striker nets<br />
29 goals for school side<br />
• By Jacob Page<br />
SELWYN UNITED striker<br />
Declan Hickford’s right boot is<br />
showing no signs of failing him.<br />
The 17-year-old is having a<br />
breakthrough year, playing in<br />
his debut Mainland Premier<br />
League season with <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
United on Saturdays and scoring<br />
goals for the St Andrew’s College<br />
first XI during the week.<br />
Hickford is making the most<br />
of his opportunities in the MPL<br />
– starting most weeks for <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
United and scoring five goals so<br />
far this season.<br />
He has been dominant for his<br />
school team, scoring 29 goals<br />
in eight games in the Connetics<br />
first XI secondary school<br />
competition, including seven last<br />
week in a 9-2 win over Lincoln<br />
High School that lifted his team<br />
to third.<br />
He has scored 90 goals for the<br />
first XI since debuting four years<br />
ago. The tally is believed to be<br />
a school record and with four<br />
games to go in the competition,<br />
plus a national secondary<br />
schools campaign still to come,<br />
Hickford is likely to hit triple<br />
figures at some point.<br />
“There are times when I think<br />
to myself that the great run I’ve<br />
had must come to an end at<br />
some point, but that’s my job –<br />
to score goals,” he said.<br />

The Westmorland resident<br />
said he is loving the challenge of<br />
matching up against the men.<br />
“The physicality is clearly<br />
something that takes time to<br />
adjust to, but also matching that<br />
with the speed of play,” he said.<br />
SPORTS<br />
Hickford said he is also focused<br />
on trying to earn a United<br />
States scholarship. “To get a<br />
quality education while testing<br />
my skills against a high standard<br />
of play would be something I’d<br />
like to do,” he said.<br />

Lincoln sharp-shooter<br />
targets national champs<br />
• By Jacob Page<br />
LINCOLN HIGH School trap<br />
shooter Scott Daly in on track to<br />
represent the South Island after<br />
dominating the North Island<br />
championships in Hamilton.<br />
The 16-year-old from<br />
Springston won the High Gun<br />
Award for best overall shooter<br />
after claiming the secondary<br />
school skeet and down the line<br />
titles.<br />
The Lincoln High team<br />
also retained the team skeet<br />
title with Scott, Logan Howe,<br />
Michael Caines and Ethan<br />
Kempthorne victorious.<br />
Scott said his win in the skeet<br />
was a big surprise. “It was a<br />
shock to me because I basically<br />
only do the skeet to fill in time<br />
waiting for down the line.”<br />
Scott is currently ranked<br />
high enough to make the<br />
South Island team to face the<br />
North Island at the national<br />
championships later this year.<br />
The avid hunter and former<br />
motocross rider took up the<br />
sport three years ago after seeing<br />
it mentioned in the Lincoln<br />
High School notices.<br />
“I realised I really enjoyed it<br />
and now it takes up the majority<br />
of my spare time,” he said.<br />
“I don’t think about<br />
achievements or trophies, I just<br />
want to shoot well and do my<br />
best.”<br />
Scott said the sport was<br />
mostly mental but weather<br />
factors like the wind can play a<br />
part as well.<br />
“You have to keep your eye on<br />
the targets and factor in what<br />
the conditions might do but<br />
that’s half the fun.”

Lincoln A left it late to record<br />
a much needed 52-49 win over<br />
newly-promoted Rolleston in<br />
the <strong>Selwyn</strong> premier netball<br />
competition at the Lincoln Event<br />
Centre on Saturday.<br />
Rolleston came into the game<br />
full of confidence after beating<br />
Broadfield A 55-54 in their first<br />
run out since winning promotion<br />
to the top grade for round<br />
three of the season.<br />
Lincoln A were desperate to<br />
get their title aspirations back<br />
on track after a 55-46 loss to<br />
Greenpark B.<br />
Lincoln A managed to do it<br />
but had to produce a fourthquarter<br />
comeback after trailing<br />
by two goals heading into the<br />
final 15min.<br />
Coach Vanessa Robinson said<br />
her team had more than enough<br />
ball to put the match beyond<br />
doubt earlier than they did.<br />
“We must have won 15<br />
turnovers easily and then just<br />
handed them straight back,” she<br />
said. “It was very frustrating.”<br />
Robinson praised Rolleston’s<br />
“back to basics approach” and<br />
said her team could learn a lesson<br />
from the approach.<br />
“We’ve been dominant for a<br />
few years and that’s meant that<br />
we’ve been able to play with flair<br />
and haven’t had to rely on the<br />
basics,” she said. “You’ve got to<br />
give Rolleston a tremendous<br />
amount of credit for their approach<br />
and they’re having success<br />
with it.”<br />
After two weeks of the final<br />
round, all six teams are split by<br />
just one competition point.<br />
Greenpark A proved too<br />
strong winning 75-41 against<br />

Lincoln Combined<br />
Proud supporters of<br />
Rugby & Netball in <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
face must win game against Nelson<br />
• By Jacob Page<br />
A WIN on Saturday against Nelson<br />
College is a must for Lincoln<br />
Combined if they want to make the<br />
UC Championship top four for the<br />
first time.<br />
Lincoln Combined were their<br />
own worst enemy during a 24-10<br />
loss to St Bede’s College on Saturday.<br />
The result left Lincoln clinging to<br />
a semi-final spot with away games<br />
to Nelson College and Christchurch<br />
Boys’ High School to round<br />
out their season.<br />
Realistically, they’ll have to win<br />
one of those fixtures to have any<br />
chance of making the top four for<br />
the first time.<br />
Coach Mike Wilson said his<br />
team struggled to impose themselves<br />
on the game in the first half<br />
and it cost them. “We were soft in<br />
the beginning to be honest. We<br />
fell off tackles and made too many<br />
errors,” Wilson said. “We were<br />
playing into a breeze and I felt like<br />
all the 50-50 bounces were going<br />
their way, but we certainly didn’t<br />
help ourselves,” he said.<br />
Lincoln Combined played the<br />
game without their captain and<br />
midfield general Wil Gualter after<br />
he was knocked out during the<br />
Crusaders Knights training camp a<br />
fortnight ago.<br />
“We missed him as any team<br />
would miss their only player who<br />
plays at (the Knights) level but most<br />
importantly we missed his voice<br />
and leadership,” Wilson said.<br />
He said Gualter was not guaranteed<br />
to return this week for the<br />
must win game against Nelson<br />
College.<br />
Against St Bede’s, Lincoln<br />
Combined trailed 19-3 at halftime<br />
and while a try to halfback Robert<br />
Sporke gave them a brief hope of<br />
getting a losers bonus point for<br />
finishing within seven points, a<br />
St Bede’s intercept try killed off<br />
that hope. Nelson College lost the<br />
Moascar Cup to CBHS on Saturday<br />
and will no doubt be eager to take<br />
out their frustration on Lincoln<br />
Combined in Nelson.<br />
Results: Rangiora HS 47,<br />

Springston<br />
sneak into<br />
semi-final<br />
• By Jacob Page<br />
SPRINGSTON beat Southbridge<br />
22-12 away from home and<br />
scored a four-try bonus point on<br />
Saturday to sneak into the semifinals<br />
of the Ellesmere senior<br />
rugby competition.<br />
The result saw Springston go to<br />
fourth spot by one competition<br />
point, with both Southbridge<br />
and Burnham Dunsandel Irwell,<br />
who beat Rolleston 53-20, tied<br />
on 27 points in fifth and sixth<br />
respectively.<br />
Springston scored four unanswered<br />
tries to lead 22-0 before<br />
Southbridge found their feet midway<br />
through the second half.<br />
Two tries to Springston winger<br />
Josh Young proved vital in the<br />
outcome.<br />
Top-of-the-table Waihora<br />
will be waiting for them. They<br />
took the Murray Cooper Shield<br />
off Darfield 12-0 on Saturday<br />
and are looking to add to their<br />
trophy cabinet after they won the<br />
combined country competition<br />
earlier in the season.<br />
Waihora scored all of their<br />
points in the first half through<br />
tries to Joel Harden and Connor<br />
MacButler and a conversion to<br />
Harry Kirk proved enough in<br />
spite of a second half arm wrestle.<br />
It was a double blow for<br />
Darfield who will now travel to<br />
Prebbleton after they grabbed<br />
second with a hard-fought 32-25<br />
win over Lincoln.<br />
Prebbleton’s Mitch Laughton<br />
scored 17 points in the win. The<br />
result dashed Lincoln’s slim topfour<br />
chances.<br />
West Melton ensured Hornby<br />
would collect the wooden spoon<br />
after they triumphed over the<br />
winless cellar-dwellers 31-10.<br />

Hawkins Trophy goes<br />
to Lincoln University<br />
• By Jim Doyle<br />
WHAT IS it about Lincoln<br />
University and New Brighton?<br />
The Lincoln University<br />
Rams have laid 14 tries on<br />
the seasiders in two previous<br />
contests.<br />
They managed only two on<br />
Sunday but a 26-7 win in a<br />
grand-final of the Hawkins<br />
Trophy at Rugby Park is<br />
convincing, especially since<br />
Brighton’s points came in the<br />
last seconds.<br />
Lincoln head coach Bevan<br />
Sisson had a compelling take on<br />
it. “Brighton are really physical<br />
and like to feed off mistakes. So<br />
you just don’t give them the ball<br />
and there’s no plan B for them,”<br />
he said.<br />
Sisson said key areas were the<br />
back of Brighton’s scrum and<br />
in midfield. However, the Rams<br />
didn’t punish the Brighton<br />
scrum quite as much as in<br />
previous games.<br />
They kept Aaron McCoy<br />
bottled up and did the<br />
same to Brighton’s Scotland<br />
international, No 12 Phil<br />
Burleigh.<br />
“Keep them under pressure<br />
and they don’t have a lot of<br />
other options. You could say we<br />
strangled them out of it.”<br />
Sisson was surprised that<br />
WINNERS: Lincoln University celebrate with the Hawkins<br />
Trophy after a 26-7 win over New Brighton at Rugby Park on<br />
Sunday.<br />
when Brighton won the toss<br />
they gave first use of the wind to<br />
the Rams.<br />
“We’d have taken the wind.<br />
It did die in the second half,<br />
although we still found it hard<br />
to get out of our area in that<br />
time. I said it was a 20-point<br />
wind and we achieved that,”<br />
said Sisson.<br />
He agreed with Ben Morris’s<br />
after-match comment about<br />
hitting Brighton in the first<br />
20min. And they did that,<br />
notching their two tries within<br />
16min. “The thing was, don’t let<br />
the crowd into it,’’ said Sisson.<br />
Gold-clad Brighton<br />
supporters were there in droves<br />
as usual if the seasiders are<br />
in a final. They managed to<br />
stay merry in spite of the tide<br />
running against them until the<br />
death.<br />
Sisson had special praise for<br />
three young players – Connor<br />
Gordon, Connor Garden-<br />
Bachop and Cullen Grace.<br />
“They’ll be really dangerous<br />
with more experience, “ he said.<br />
Scorecard: Lincoln University<br />
26 (Connor Garden-Bachop,<br />
Mitch Dunshea tries; Brett<br />
Cameron 2 conv, 4 pen) beat<br />
New Brighton 7 (Jordan French<br />
try; Stefan Moir conv). HT:<br />
20-0.

Minister shares in celebration<br />
of good farming practice<br />
Minister of Agriculture, Hon Damien<br />
O’Connor was in Canterbury last Tuesday,<br />
where he met Environment Canterbury<br />
representatives and farming leaders to<br />
celebrate good farming practice.<br />
Minister O’Connor said the Government<br />
had laid down clear bottom lines on water<br />
quality and welcomed the increased<br />
awareness and huge amount of mitigation<br />
taking place.<br />
“Farming in tune with the environment<br />
shows consumers that their food is produced<br />
by people who care and forms part of the<br />
social licence that allows landowners to<br />
operate,” the Minister said.<br />
Environment Canterbury councillor Tom<br />
Lambie said the Good Management Practice<br />
(GMP) “journey” started in Canterbury<br />
some years ago, and was marketed at<br />
national level by the launch in June of the<br />
Good Farming Practice Action Plan for<br />
Water Quality.<br />
“Now is a good time to take stock and<br />
recognise just how far we’ve come,” Mr<br />
Lambie said.<br />
“It is four years since Industry Agreed<br />
Good Management Practices Relating<br />
to Water Quality were introduced by the<br />
primary sectors in Canterbury with a view<br />
to national adoption.<br />
The Canterbury journey was illustrated<br />
by a visit to an inter-generational dairy farm<br />
near Te Waihora/Lake Ellesmere where<br />
innovation and sustainable management<br />
have led to an impressive value-added story,<br />
and a series of presentations.<br />
Mr Lambie, who chaired the original<br />
group that guided the work informing the<br />
Good Management Practices each sector<br />
developed, said all the key elements of<br />
the journey were on show – continuous<br />
improvement, targeted rules and smarter<br />
tools.<br />
“Collaboration has been key to our<br />
success at every stage,” Mr Lambie said.<br />
“For example, practices introduced by the<br />
primary sectors were a prime example of<br />
collaboration to help address our challenging<br />
water quality issues. The work of our water<br />

Minister of Agriculture Damien<br />

zone committees around the region since<br />
the Canterbury Water Management Strategy<br />
started in 2<strong>01</strong>0 is another.”<br />
Good management practice should be the<br />
minimum standard for the primary sector,<br />
Mr Lambie said.<br />
“It is what every farmer would reasonably<br />
expect from their peers. They are now<br />
identifying the environmental risks and<br />
acting to manage them.<br />
“Farm environment plans (FEPs) are<br />
central to this. We already have more than<br />
3000 FEPs throughout the region, a rigorous<br />
auditing regime providing assurance, and<br />
land use consents being required of farmers<br />
in high-risk areas. Nitrogen loss limits are<br />
set in consents.<br />
“We welcome every opportunity to<br />
showcase all the good work that is happening<br />
in Canterbury, and today’s activities have<br />
given us that chance in a very practical way,”<br />

Feds support emission reduction but say<br />
road map needed<br />
Moves to significantly reduce emissions<br />
and meet Paris Agreement commitments<br />
are supported by Federated Farmers, but<br />
this should not be at the expense of New<br />
Zealanders’ economic and social wellbeing,<br />
the organisation says.<br />
“We need that clear<br />
road map to a low net<br />
emissions economy<br />
and a long-term plan<br />
of action that endures<br />
political cycles. But<br />
New Zealand should<br />
not lock itself into an<br />
inflexible approach<br />
that disadvantages<br />
us more than other<br />
nations,” Feds climate<br />
Andrew Hoggard change spokesperson<br />
Andrew Hoggard said.<br />
“In the decades to 2050 we’ll also be<br />
grappling with the major cost implications<br />
of an ageing population. We must have<br />
regard for the impact various ‘net zero’<br />
options would have on emissions prices and<br />
on GDP, jobs and incomes.”<br />
In its submission on the Zero Carbon Bill,<br />
Federated Famers said the best option of the<br />
three put forward in the Our Climate Your<br />
Say discussion paper was the “two baskets”<br />
approach that focused on reductions in longlived<br />
greenhouse gas emissions (carbon<br />
dioxide and nitrous oxide) while stabilising<br />
short-lived emissions (methane).<br />
“New Zealand’s primary industries earned<br />
64 per cent of our total merchandise export<br />
income in 2<strong>01</strong>7/18, not to mention the<br />
several billion dollars of food produced for<br />
domestic consumption,” Mr Hoggard said.<br />
“We have an unsubsidised but highly<br />
efficient agricultural sector, which is<br />
markedly exposed to competition from<br />
moderately to highly subsidised producers<br />
in other nations.<br />
“Successive governments have worked<br />
hard to remove barriers to trade. It would be<br />
counterproductive for future governments<br />
to impose costs on our producers that would<br />
undermine those trade gains.<br />
“The wrong policies could reduce our<br />
emissions-efficient food production, a gap<br />
that will be filled by much less emissionsefficient<br />
producers overseas. We lose<br />
economically, and so does the planet in terms<br />
of global warming and climate change.”<br />
The Federation’s submission said<br />
regardless of which 2050 target is adopted,<br />
agricultural biological emissions should<br />
not come under the ETS until cost-effective<br />
mitigations are available to farmers and<br />
our international competitors make similar<br />
moves.<br />
It also noted the great potential for forest<br />
and other woody vegetation to sequest<br />
carbon, including establishment of new<br />
commercial forests, farm woodlots, shelter<br />
belts, slope stability, erosion control planting<br />
and riparian planting.<br />
“But there’s a warning with this,” Mr<br />
Hoggard said.<br />
Diesel Blower Heaters<br />
”We’re very concerned about the potential<br />
for climate change policy to drive largescale<br />
land use change from sheep and<br />
beef farming to forestry, when it’s farming<br />
that underpins the social, economic and<br />
employment viability of rural communities.”<br />
The notion that foresters will want to plant<br />
on marginal land was “highly questionable”<br />
he said.<br />

Home heating –<br />
electricity, gas or wood?<br />
How you heat your home depends on a<br />
number of factors. Figuring out the best<br />
way to heat your home continues to be a<br />
matter for debate.<br />
Several things are undisputed. A<br />
warm, dry home is essential for<br />
comfort and good health, good<br />
insulation dramatically increases<br />
the efficiency of any heating<br />
system and ventilation is an<br />
important consideration.<br />
Most homes are<br />
heated by electricity,<br />
gas, or wood. In<br />
New Zealand,<br />
heating accounts<br />
for approximately<br />
30 percent of a<br />
home’s annual energy<br />
consumption. There are many<br />
things you can do to reduce<br />
consumption and cost.<br />
The World Health Organisation<br />
recommends a temperature of 18 deg C<br />
for indoor living areas, and slightly less for<br />
bedrooms. It recommends slightly higher<br />
temperatures for vulnerable people – the<br />
elderly and small children. Studies have<br />
shown that indoor temperatures below 12<br />
degrees can disrupt sleep.<br />
Among all these considerations, how<br />
you heat your home is a matter of personal<br />
choice, with many options available.<br />
Heat pumps are generally the most<br />
common and cost-effective form of home<br />
heating in New Zealand. Used properly,<br />
they heat quickly and are convenient.<br />
However, you need to have the right sized<br />
unit for the area and they don’t work when<br />
electricity is not available. They tend to be<br />
room-specific but ducted heat pumps are<br />
becoming more popular and are costeffective,<br />
especially in new builds, but can<br />
also be installed into established homes.<br />
Modern wood burners may be the<br />
closest you can get to an open-fire feel, but<br />
are much more efficient. Wood is generally<br />
a renewable fuel, and if you have a cheap<br />
or free supply, a wood burner may be<br />
the least expensive heating option. They<br />
heat large areas and are not dependent<br />
on electricity but there is the chopping<br />
and stacking to be done, flues need to be<br />
cleaned regularly and older models can<br />
contribute to air pollution and may violate<br />
strict air quality regulations – www.mfe.<br />
govt.nz has detailed information regarding<br />
this.<br />
Pellet fires are typically more efficient<br />
than wood burners but can have a smaller<br />
output. They require electricity but<br />
some have a battery backup and they are<br />
thermostatically controlled with timers.<br />
These must comply with regulations which<br />
are also detailed on the Ministry for the<br />
Environment website.<br />
Gas heating is common and convenient.<br />
Central heating systems can be zone<br />
controlled and provide warm air<br />
circulation. Flued gas heaters are best, as<br />
unflued and portable gas heaters produce<br />
lots of moisture and emit pollutants that<br />
can be unsafe. Flued gas heating systems<br />
can be installed in most homes. They are<br />
fast heating and are relatively inexpensive<br />
to run. However gas is not a renewable<br />
resource and prices can vary widely.<br />
The greatest source of energy is actually<br />
free. Harnessing the sun can dramatically<br />
reduce heating costs and is the most<br />
environmentally friendly way to heat your<br />
home. Passive heating combines insulation<br />
with good design, accomplished more<br />
effectively in new builds but also able to be<br />
incorporated into existing homes.<br />
Getting the sun’s warmth into your<br />
home is a function of the design; keeping<br />
it in is a function of the insulation. There<br />
is a wealth of information online as passive<br />
heating becomes normative in the design<br />
and building industry.<br />
Websites such as energywise.govt.<br />
nz and smarterhomes.org.nz have<br />
comprehensive information on and tips<br />
for, heating your home in the colder<br />
months.

Buying a lifestyle block<br />
5<br />
City life getting you down? Dreaming of<br />
living in the country, where you ‘commute’<br />
from the breakfast table to a barn or your<br />
home office? It might look like an easy life but<br />
buying a lifestyle property can be a complex<br />
business.<br />
While living in the country has much<br />
to recommend it, you need to do more<br />
preparation for buying a place there than<br />
buying a pair of gumboots and comparing<br />
the merits of ride-on mowers.<br />
“We recommend comprehensive due<br />
diligence when buying any kind of property,<br />
but rural ones come with a whole extra set of<br />
things to think about compared to buying a<br />
straightforward stand-alone home in town,”<br />
says Kevin Lampen-Smith, chief executive of<br />
the Real Estate Authority (REA).<br />
Lampen-Smith says that while it’s tempting<br />
to focus on the dream wish list for your<br />
bucolic bolt-hole, but you should also<br />
compile a list of issues to be aware of (and<br />
people who can help you learn about them).<br />
“If the property you like is being sold by a<br />
licensed real estate agent, remember that you<br />
can ask them anything you like about it,” he<br />
says.<br />
“Rural real estate agents have special skills<br />
in this area and they’ll be able to help you<br />
figure out what information you need to<br />
make a well-informed decision. It’s also a<br />
good idea to get your lawyer onboard early to<br />
check titles, consents and other information<br />
that you gather in the process.”<br />
It might feel like you’re getting away from<br />
it all when moving out of town, but rural<br />
developments can be subject to rules that<br />
restrict what you can do. Lampen-Smith<br />
recommends getting your lawyer to check if<br />
there are any covenants on the property that<br />
might have an impact on a future business<br />
you may run there, or any planned building<br />
projects. You don’t want to invest in an<br />
alpaca herd for your new dream property<br />
only to find that it’s not allowed to carry any<br />
livestock. Similarly, it would be tough to<br />
discover that your subdivision plans are not<br />
permitted by council rules.<br />
Be aware that there may be tax implications<br />
if you’re planning to use the property as a<br />
business, Lampen-Smith says.<br />
“In general, if it is currently being used for<br />
a business that is tax-registered – whether<br />
that’s selling organic eggs, grazing stock<br />
or running a B&B – then the seller will<br />
probably add GST to the price. This means<br />
you’ll pay an extra 15 per cent, unless you are<br />
also registered for GST. Ask your lawyer or<br />
accountant to check if the house or any other<br />
buildings on the property are GST-exempt.<br />
They will also be able to advise you on<br />
whether you need to be GST-registered.”<br />
A good place to start when trying to figure<br />
out what tax obligations might attach to your<br />
purchase of the property is Inland Revenue’s<br />
property tax decision tree (available at<br />
http://www.ird.govt.nz/property/propertyterms-and-tools/property-decision-tree/),<br />
but keep in mind that it is always best to<br />
seek professional advice before you make a<br />
decision.<br />
Rural properties (like all properties) can<br />
also have easements on the title that relate to<br />
access, water or power. Lampen-Smith says<br />
you should ask your lawyer to check the title<br />
and work out what the easements are, and<br />
how they will have an impact on your rights<br />
and responsibilities as an owner.<br />
“For example, if the title allows a neighbour<br />
access to a piece of their land through your<br />
property, do you have any right to limit the<br />
type and frequency of that access if you buy<br />
it?”<br />
Be aware too that there may be ‘unofficial’<br />
easements operating; the incumbent owners<br />
may have an informal arrangement with their<br />
neighbours, but this may not remain when<br />
the property passes into new ownership.<br />
Things that we take for granted when living<br />
in urban environments, like water, sewage<br />
and access, can require more involvement in<br />
rural areas. Check the water sources for the<br />
property – if it has its own bore, are there<br />
limits on the amount of water you can draw<br />
from it? What is the process for ensuring it is<br />
safe to drink? What happens to wastewater<br />
and sewage? Are you prepared for life with<br />
a septic tank? Will the current owner ensure<br />
the tank is empty as a condition of sale?<br />
When it comes to access, will you share<br />
a private road or right of way with other<br />
properties? What will be your responsibilities<br />
and potential costs for maintaining it? Don’t<br />
forget that your neighbours may be involved<br />
in unglamorous activities at ungodly hours –<br />
check the zoning rules for nearby properties<br />
if you’re worried about noise, smells or traffic.<br />
You might think it’s lovely to have stock<br />
grazing out the window, but are you ready for<br />
a milk tanker driving past every morning? Be<br />
aware that the LIM will not always alert you<br />
to any pending or current NZTA decisions<br />
regarding local highway linkages that often<br />
divert traffic away from urban centres in<br />
favour of immediate rural areas on the town<br />
boundary. Check with NZTA if you think<br />
your property could be affected by road<br />
changes.<br />
“Like all property purchases, buying a place<br />
in the country requires careful, objective<br />
consideration,” Lampen-Smith says.<br />
“There are lots of great things about living<br />
on the land, but it’s best to be realistic about<br />
it. You don’t want to be like the former townie<br />
I met a few weeks ago, who mournfully told<br />
me that their lifestyle block had become “a<br />
life sentence”. Do your homework and you’re<br />
far more likely to live happily ever after in<br />
rural bliss.”<br />

in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District<br />
Investing<br />
to rent –<br />
with pets<br />
Rental properties that allow pets are a<br />
niche market for landlords.<br />
Pet-friendly rental properties are hard<br />
to find, and yet according to a 2<strong>01</strong>1 New<br />
Zealand Companion Animal Council<br />
(NZCAC) survey, 68% of households own<br />
at least one pet.<br />
With the companion animal population,<br />
over 5 million, outranking the human<br />
population 4.8 million (2<strong>01</strong>8 Census), it is<br />
acceptable to assume that there are large<br />
numbers of people actively looking for<br />
rental homes where their pets can come<br />
too.<br />
Renting a home to a stranger is entrusting<br />
someone with a valuable asset so allowing<br />
a pet or two makes this a riskier option<br />
for the landlord. However, that does not<br />
mean a tenant with a pet will not be a good<br />
tenant.<br />
Landlords could potentially be missing<br />
out on high return rental opportunities as<br />
pet owners are often willing to pay more<br />
to keep their pets with them. Tenants with<br />
pets tend to stay longer and take better care<br />
of the property according to an overseas<br />
survey.<br />
Charging a higher rental and including<br />
a pet bond are ways to help protect the<br />
property and the rights of the landlord.<br />
Landlords have the right to ask for a pet<br />
bond to cover any future damage caused by<br />
the animals or other related costs if tenants,<br />
who have left the property, abandon their<br />
animals.<br />
However, according to the New Zealand<br />
Government website, there is a limit to the<br />
amount of overall bond that can be charged.<br />
A tenant cannot be charged more than the<br />
equivalent of four weeks rental in bond. If a<br />
pet bond is required, it should be included<br />
in this and cannot be in addition to the four<br />
weeks rent bond already charged.<br />
It is also essential for the landlord to<br />
include the names, breed and number of<br />
pets allowed to live on the property in the<br />
rental agreement, so there are no future<br />
misunderstandings.<br />
Charging a<br />
higher rental and<br />
including a pet<br />
bond are ways<br />
to help protect<br />
the property and<br />
the rights of the<br />
landlord.<br />
Ask for a pet portfolio<br />
A pet portfolio helps reassure the landlord that the tenant is a responsible owner.<br />
It should include information about the pet plus details about its care and daily<br />
habits.<br />
Things to include:<br />
• Photo of the pet.<br />
• Description, breed, age and sex.<br />
• Current vaccination certificates.<br />
• Desexing, microchipping and registration information.<br />
• Housing information, i.e. how the animal will be housed (outdoors – in kennel<br />
and run; indoors – housetrained, bedding, etc.).<br />
• Daily habits – how the pet spends its day, exercise regime, etc.<br />
• Training sessions attended, i.e. dog obedience school.<br />
• References relating to your pet from a previous landlord or vet.<br />

Marketing your property –<br />
what does it mean?<br />
Marketing a property is more than presentation and advertising.<br />
Conceptually, marketing is identifying<br />
what prospective buyers are looking for<br />
then providing this. For example, larger<br />
homes and sections may appeal more<br />
to families. Young couples starting out,<br />
generally have tight budgets leading<br />
them to smaller properties, while older<br />
people may be looking to downsize.<br />
Brand new has a particular appeal<br />
however there will always be a market for<br />
established homes. Having a picture in<br />
your mind of the type of buyer will help<br />
in determining the features to emphasise.<br />
If repairs and maintenance need to be<br />
carried out before putting the property<br />
on the market, seek the advice of a real<br />
estate agent. They can advise on what<br />
tasks are worth completing and what<br />
might be unnecessary expense.<br />
Installing a new kitchen or changing<br />
the carpet may lift the house but will<br />
the expense be recouped in the sale<br />
price? On the other hand, modernising<br />
an outdated kitchen or bathroom could<br />
make a huge difference to the look of<br />
the place. Avoid going overboard unless<br />
the capital value of properties in the area<br />
justifies this.<br />
Real estate agents are in contact with<br />
prospective buyers so aware of what they<br />
are looking for. Draw on their expertise<br />
and advice to help make the most of the<br />
selling opportunity.<br />
Establishing a relevant and fair price<br />
for a property is important. Most<br />
agents calculate this based on the price<br />
properties in the area have sold for, and<br />
what a particular property has to offer.<br />
A unique or exceptional property may<br />
justify a higher price, though run-down<br />
properties can gain more than they<br />
appear to merit. This might be due to the<br />
area or other factors that suggest a good<br />
investment.<br />
When promoting a property, mix it up<br />
and be creative so your property stands<br />
out from the rest. TradeMe is a must;<br />
checked by most people looking to buy.<br />
Present the features the property offers as<br />
benefits to potential buyers.<br />
Erect a sign outside the property.<br />
People stop and look at photographs and<br />
this might spark sufficient interest for<br />
them to visit an open home. Spending<br />
a fortune on massive advertising<br />
campaigns in every media might seem a<br />
way to attract potential buyers but may<br />
be an unnecessary expense without the<br />
return. A better philosophy could be a<br />
little often. This will depend on the value<br />
of the property, your budget and how<br />
best to reach target buyers.<br />
Buyer perception is also significant.<br />
For example, properties that sit for a<br />
while can become stale. Resting the<br />
property by taking it off the market for<br />
a short time, then relisting perhaps in<br />
spring or when sales in the area appear<br />
to lift a little, can make a difference.<br />
However, if a property does not sell<br />
immediately there is no need for panic or<br />
dropping the price. It may simply be that<br />
the right buyer has not yet come along. If<br />
the mix is right your property will sell.<br />
