Older motorists more

likely to drink and drive

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding

POLICE HAVE moved to clamp

down on a drink driving culture

they say has existed in the

district for decades.

Older drivers are the main

culprits, police say.

Major checkpoints have been

set up in Lincoln and Leeston in

recent weeks.

Said Senior Sergeant Kelly

Larsen: “I am really concerned

about the level of drink driving I

am seeing and anecdotally I am

hearing about out here,” she said.

On Thursday, three drink

drivers were

stopped by

patrols in

Lincoln before

7.30pm.

Two Friday

nights ago, a

Kelly Larsen

major checkpoint

was set

up in James St, Lincoln, near the

primary school. Police vehicles

were stationed on nearby roads

to stop motorists trying to avoid

the checkpoint.

Senior Sergeant Larsen said

yesterday the number of drivers

caught over the limit – if any –

were not available.

“It is not (just) a Lincoln issue,

it is a rural Canterbury issue,”

she said.

Leeston was the focus of a major

drink driving operation on

Friday and Saturday. No one was

caught over the limit, she said.


generally the drink driving problem

was with older drivers.

“It is a generalisation, younger

people tend to be more responsible

around their decision-making

with drink driving . . . they

have grown up with the fact that

drink driving is unacceptable.

“It is the older demographic

who are continuing behaviours

for the last 20 to 30 years.”


the issue was district-wide.

“I get that there are limited

public transport options but for

too long people living in rural

communities have thought it was

okay to go to the pub and drink

and drive to get home. It is not

okay.’’ •Turn to page 7

get in touch

from the editor’s desk

THERE’S A very clear message in our page

1 story today: The police are getting tough

on drink driving.

It’s not that they aren’t generally tough

on drink driving, but in recent weeks there

has been a step up in patrols and checkpoints.

Lincoln and Leeston have been the recent focus. But the

booze bus will almost certainly be frequenting other parts of

the district, primed to catch drivers who have been frequenting

certain establishments.

Senior Sergeant Kelly Larsen says older drivers are a big part

of the problem. These are the drivers who have been drinking

and driving for decades.

So the advice: Walk, get dropped off, or ask the publican for a

lift in the courtesy van.

Pedestrian crossing

could be in for lighting upgrade


POTENTIAL improvements

could be made at a Lincoln

pedestrian crossing after the

street lighting has been deemed

not up to standard.

Over the next three months,

the district council is planning to

look at the lighting at the Gerald

St pedestrian crossing outside

The Famous Grouse Hotel.

The light

doesn’t meet

the code set

by Standards

New Zealand

for lighting of

roads and public

spaces.

Mark

Chamberlain

District council

transportation

asset engineer

Mark Chamberlain said the

original crossing was installed a

number of years ago and was fit

for purpose at the time.

Long-time Lincoln resident

Pete Thompson said it is not

good enough and he will be

waiting with “bated breath” for

improvements to be made.

He said he travels past the

crossing at about 7.30am and it is

difficult to see people at the crossing

– especially in the winter.

“I am aware of it and I cautiously

go through it but one day

someone is going to get killed,”

he said.

The Famous Grouse Hotel operations

manager Brandon Williams

said he would like to see a

solar powered lighting crossing

installed – which are popular in

America.

He said although the crossing

has painted lines, it flashes on the

ground to make vehicles aware

people are at the crossing.

Mr Williams said the combination

of vehicles travelling

faster than 50km/h and pedestrians

often initially being hidden

INTERNATIONAL

Comedy

Night

by the cars parked outside the

hotel makes the crossing “a little

bit dangerous.”

But Mr Chamberlain said there

is a kerb extension at the crossing

meaning pedestrians can be seen

by approaching drivers.

Selwyn Times reported in 2015

there were concerns over the

lighting at the Gerald St crossing.

It comes as work to make the

West Belt end of Gerald St more

pedestrian and cycle-friendly as

part of the Lincoln Town 1Centre

FIRE AT RACEWAY

It took just over an hour for

Lincoln firefighters to extinguish

a pine-needle fire at Motukarara

Raceway on Sunday. Lincoln

chief fire officer Jeremy

Greenwood said they were called

to the raceway at about 9am.

He said the cause of the blaze is

not confirmed but it could have

been a campfire. Meanwhile, the

brigade was called to extinguish

a vehicle fire at about 7pm, Friday,

on Lincoln Tai Tapu Rd. Mr

Greenwood said one crew from

Lincoln attended the fire, but the

vehicle’s owner had extinguished

it by the time it had arrived.

Battery

recycling

continues to

be popular

A LINCOLN Envirotown Trust

initiative has seen more than

1-tonne of batteries recycled

rather than going to landfill.

People have been depositing

batteries into a recycling container

at New World Lincoln in a

bid to help the environment.

The batteries are then delivered

to Ecotech Services Ltd to undergo

a recycling process.

The trust was unsure of what

the reaction would be from the

public. It had envisaged there may

be an early influx of batteries deposited

as people cleared out what

they had stored and then it would

drop off.

However, the number of batteries

deposited has grown over time,

with more than 100kg deposited

some months.

The trust has had numerous

inquiries about the project from

around New Zealand and some

congratulations from overseas.

It seems to be recognised as

the only scheme of its kind in the

country where people can drop

off their household batteries at a

convenient frequented location to

be properly processed and not add

to waste.


LINCOLN’S NEWEST primary

school is on track to open in

January.

Construction of Ararira

Springs Primary – Te Puna o

Ararira on Southfield Drive is

progressing.

Southbase Construction project

manager Phil Craw said the

interior fit-out

for the three

main buildings

making

up the school’s

hall, administration

and

learning hubs

is well under

way.

The school’s

water reticulation

system is nearly complete

and the school car park is progressing.

The school’s joinery is set

to arrive this week and the

extension of Russ Drive and the

Jimmy Adams Tce cul-de-sac is

tracking as per programme, Mr

Craw said.

The new road extensions will

make it easier to access the

school.

Principal Claire Howison

said construction is progressing

really well which is exciting for

the school.

Meanwhile, the school has finished

appointing its staff team

with all members will come on

board in term 4 this year.

Ms Howison said the full

team will begin working from

its current base on Ellesmere

Junction Rd to start preparing

for the school’s opening next

year.

The school is to be led by Ms

Howison, alongside deputy

principal Donna Frame and assistant

principal Blair Cook.

Quarry petition will

NOW

be taken ‘seriously’ by ECan

• By Anan Zaki

ENVIRONMENT Canterbury

chairman Steve Lowndes said

the regional council won’t

take Weedons and Templeton

residents’ quarry petition lightly.

The petition was presented to

ECan at last Thursday’s council

meeting.

Mr

Lowndes said

councillors

understood

the concerns

from the 4052

signatories.

“We take all

of this terribly

Steve

Lowndes

seriously.

“But we’re

always sort of

the meat in

the sandwich here, so we have to

act according to the letter of the

law,” Mr Lowndes said.

ECan will now wait for Fulton

Hogan to submit their resource

consent application.

“We’re not in a position to really

do anything, nor is anybody

until that consent application is

lodged,” Mr Lowndes said.

Fulton Hogan are expected to

submit an application to quarry

the 170ha piece of land at Curraghs,

Dawsons, Jones and Maddisons

Rds this month.

“We’ve heard from the community,

we appreciate the concerns

and in fact we have written to

central government that they consider

greater setback distances for

quarries,” Mr Lowndes said.

He does not know when the

Government will respond to

the request for greater setback

distances and no time-frame was

given by the Government.

“But as you may know we are

bound to act within the Resource

Management Act,” Mr Lowndes

said.

The residents’ demands of

greater setbacks were “absolutely”

reasonable and Mr Lowndes said

he sympathised with them.

Templeton Residents’ Association

chairman Garry Kilday also

said the residents will now wait

for Fulton Hogan’s application.

“It’s now been passed to the

powers that be and it will do its

thing with it. What happens after

you hand over a petition, I have

no idea,” Mr Kilday said.

NO QUARRY:

Templeton

Residents’

Association

chairman Garry

Kilday holds the

petition.

The residents aim was to get

their voice heard, he said.

“Basically it’s just voicing opinion,

and you’re getting an idea of

how much groundswell there is

against that opinion,” Mr Kilday

said.

Earlier this month, he said

support for the petition was

“massive” and it had signatures

from Australia and the United

States.

Mr Lowndes said the petition

indicated a global concern for

quarrying in residential areas.

In Brief

VEGETATION FIRE

Firefighters were called to

extinguish a vegetation fire on

West Melton Rd at 12.46pm

on Tuesday. West Melton chief

crews from Rolleston and West

Melton attended the call-out. He

said it was a “controlled burn”

until the “ashes got away.” It

took firefighters about 45min to

extinguish the blaze.

Stadium climb for a good cause

• By Jono Edwards

EVEN FOR people used to

wildfires, a 5000-step slog

will still turn up the internal

thermostat.

Dunsandel firefighter Luke

Bain seemed to get more than

he bargained for as he pulled

himself up yet another flight of

Forsyth Barr stairs last Sunday.

His four-member team also

participated in the Firefighter

Sky Tower Stair Challenge in

Auckland earlier this year.

“This is much worse than the

Sky Tower,” Mr Bain panted on

an upward climb.

More than 250 people braved

the 5000-step course, which

took them on three laps of the

stadium.

The battlers were sponsored

to take part in the event and the

inaugural stair challenge raised

$52,000 for Leukaemia and

Blood Cancer New Zealand.

Mr Bain’s teammate, firefighter

Matt McIntyre, said the

two firemen powered through

the course wearing the gear

they would usually don to fight

wildfires.

Unlike the Sky Tower challenge,

the Dunedin event was

not competitive.

The goal was to “just survive,”

he said.

The pair competed in

Dunedin because one of their

colleagues had blood cancer, he

said.

“So we decided to come down

and raise money for a great

cause.”

Leukaemia and Blood Cancer

New Zealand head of marketing

and fundraising Leanne

Tiscornia said many people

found the event a “challenge,”

but they were able to do it at

their own pace.

“People certainly had a

great workout . . . I imagine

the course for next year would

be similar, but I can’t say at

Older motorists

more likely

to drink and drive

•From page 1

Recently a man aged in his 50s

or 60s inquired at the Rolleston

Police Station about getting his

driver licence back.

He had been caught drink driving

on the way home after a function.

He didn’t think he would get

caught.

“It is the not getting caught that

is the important thing, it is the

risk he decided to put every other

road user in and what is worse he

said he was the most sober person

that left. It is completely unacceptable,”

she said.

ROADS NAMED

The district council has

approved names for new roads

in two Rolleston subdivisions.

Thornborough Drive, Rothwell

Drive, Tibbotts Drive, Geldard

Drive, Blewbury Court, Challow

Court, Kennington Drive,

Chilton Drive and the extension

of Ridgeway Ave were chosen as

the new roads for the Faringdon

East subdivision. The proposed

name Jacob Baxter Drive was

changed to Tobollie Drive as it

was too similar to the existing

road, Baxter Cres.

We are investing $1.5 million to

upgrade the electricity network

for the Springston community

Power to the people

Your community is growing, and so we are installing new

This will reduce the chance of power outages and help us get

district get a boost

A NEW event coming

to the district aims to

entertain and empower

young people.

The Selwyn Youth

Council initiative, BOOST,

has been designed for

teenagers.

Youth council chairwoman

Paige Sullivan

said the new event is in response

to feedback about a

lack of activities in Selwyn

for teens, particularly during

the school holidays.

“We looked at the huge

success of KidsFest, an

event aimed at children

under the age of 13 during

the July school holidays,

and thought we should

be doing something like

that for teenagers in our

district,” she said.

“BOOST isn’t just a way

to fill in your holiday. It’s a

chance to meet people, try

something completely new

or just relax and have fun

– all without leaving the

district.”

It will run from Monday

to October 12 and feature

a broad range of events

including graffiti art

workshops, parkour training,

3V3 basketball competitions,

yoga sessions,

circo arts and a hip-hop

workshop.

Your fresh food people.

There will also be

five key events on offer:

BOOST Speak – a TED

talk-style evening with

three inspiring speakers;

BOOST Spook – a horror

walk in Foster Park;

BOOST Market – a youth

market in the community

centre; BOOST Splash – a

pool party at the Selwyn

Aquatic Centre; and

BOOST Out – the grand

finale featuring food

trucks, a skate jam, graffiti

art and live performances.

Koru Games getting stronger

OPTION: Prebbleton’s Ruby Jones looks for support.

• By Jacob Page

FIVE YEARS on from the first

Koru Games, Selwyn Sports

Trust chief executive Mike

Wilson says the event keeps

getting better.

The trust hosted the games

which saw more than 2500

year 7 and 8 pupils from across

the South Island take part

in 13 sports over three days

throughout the Selwyn district.

The games finished on

Thursday. Wilson said taking

part was as important as

winning.

“For me, I still get a kick out of

hearing from kids who have put

their school’s sports uniform on

for the first time. That’s what it’s

all about,” he said.

Wilson said with all sports

played in a condensed time

format, he hoped the pupils

could find a sport they enjoyed

and compete in a friendly

environment.

“The Koru Games allows

for kids to get a taste of sports

and the hope is that they pick

up enough of the basics that

they could play that sport on a

Saturday or a Wednesday night,”

he said.

“We give out awards to the

winners and place-getters, but

Celebrating our Tui

“The Tui’s sing-songy warble is in the

distance as I write. Often when

I’m outside I answer back with a

somewhat substandard whistle

to try and make them answer.

At the edge of the path leading

down to the bridge is a large

tree. Most of the year it sits in

a rather unspectacular manner

waiting for it’s time in the sun.

Then, as if from nowhere, it

bursts into flower. Great clusters

of colour embellish it’s branches.

And then they come. The Tui. I once

counted twenty eight Tui from near and

far feasting on the nectar with frenzied passion.

The beauty of the tree and the Tui’s song was

enchanting.

Ever watchful on flax fronds or drunk on fresh Kowhai

nectar, our Tui with their sheeney feathers and white

bib are captivating; that haunting call to another bird

travelling through the bush. As a New Zealander, it

is the sound I most associate with

home.” Kirsty Nixon

Kirsty spent her early working

career in the advertising

industry pushing her brain to

explore words and imagery.

However the artistic pull was

strong and she chose to become

a fulltime artist in 1997.

Although she has explored other

subjects, she is constantly

drawn to the New Zealand

landscape in its various guises.

Her imagery often brings the native

bush to the foreground to give the feeling of stepping

into the scene, the coastline just within reach in the

background.

Kirsty lives in Auckland with her husband and two

children.

Kirsty exhibition runs from September 29 to 24

October at Little River Gallery.

Call for council to

redesign water race

• By Emily O’Connell

THE district council will

investigate a Springfield

resident’s suggestions to

re-engineer the water race

on his property to prevent

further flooding.

Bruce Smith, who lives

in Pococks Rd, made a

deputation at the district

council water-race subcommittee

meeting suggesting

two ways the water

race could be redesigned.

It follows an event in late

February when heavy rain

caused the water race to

overflow, resulting in flooding

of the nearby area.

“It ran over my land

. . . filling my garages to a

depth of about 150mm as

well as flooding my lower

lawns on two sides of my

house,” Dr Smith said.

He said the Springfield

Volunteer Fire Brigade was

called and it got in touch

with a contractor who

dredged the water race

downstream from Tramway

Rd.

Dr Smith says it’s the

first time that “intensity”

of flooding has occurred

since moving into his

NEED FOR CHANGE:

Springfield resident

Bruce Smith is calling

for a water race running

through his property to

be redesigned.

house in 2011.

His first design suggestion

involves the

installation of a sidle weir,

connected to a ditch to

route excess water back to

the Kowhai River.

The second is for the

district council to build a

low dam across the water

race in a suitable area. The

proposal would see the

dam built with a “piped

outlet at water race level.”

District council

water services asset

manager Murray England

said staff will investigate

Dr Smith’s comments

SELWYN TIMES

and suggestions and

report back at the next

sub-committee meeting on

November 12.

He said as with any significant

weather event, it

supports affected residents,

if a weather event impacts

their properties.

During his deputation,

Dr Smith also asked for

the district council to help

pay for the repairs to his

bridge. The bridge, which

gives him access to the

street from his property, is

“rotting away.”

Dr Smith estimates

purchasing new wood for

the bridge and installing it

would cost $4000.

“I do not accept I should

be forced to make what

is for me a considerable

expenditure to maintain

my bridge,” he said.

However, Mr England

said the district council will

not contribute towards the

maintenance of the bridge

as it is a private asset.

Dr Smith said the

district council is taking

the “legalistic way out,

not the way of moral

courage or of cooperative

community.”

Our People

Nicole Taylor

Dreaming of pop stardom

Rolleston’s Nicole Taylor

has released her first

two singles, Wondering

and Energy. Emily

O’Connell talks to the

18-year-old about her

inspiration, pursuing

music and what she

likes about her town

When and how did you get

into music?

I asked my parents if I could

start singing lessons when I was

six-years-old after they took me

down to school to see the singing

teacher, and I’ve been singing

ever since.

One of my main singing

teachers, who taught me through

my younger years, was Linley

Thomas. She really inspired me

and helped me with my music.

She then started teaching me

piano at age 12. And I am now

learning from Beth Keoghan,

who is an amazing and talented

pianist.

Is anyone in your family

musical?

My family tries to claim that

I got my musical talent from

them but none of them are

very musical. My parents both

learned an instrument while

they were in school, but both

ending up stopping and probably

wouldn’t be able to remember

anything now.

My younger sister, Aimee, did

learn the drums and she did

get pretty good at it. My mum

and dad have still been very

supportive of me through the

whole thing.

What’s your inspiration for

your music?

It’s a hard question to answer

but I guess seeing famous artists

perform on stage in front of

sold out arenas and stadiums is

my inspiration. I want nothing

more than to be able to do that

sometime in the future, be

selling out my own concerts,

performing my own songs in

front of a packed out arena, with

AMBITION: Nicole Taylor has released her first two singles and will be working on an album next

year.

everyone there singing my songs.

Can you tell me about the

process you went through to

create your first two singles?

The process started with me

having two songs with lyrics

and chords that I knew I wanted

to let people hear. I then met

up with Ryan Neville at his

studio called Voodoo Music

Studio, and we recorded the

piano tracks and demo vocals.

From there, we built the rest

of the songs, adding drums or

base or strings, whatever we

thought the two songs needed.

We ended up creating two

totally different songs in terms

of production. Wondering is a

more contemporary pop song,

which I wrote at Lincoln High

School with my friends Emma

Kench and Jordan Trevarton,

whereas with Energy we went

for a more electronic pop feel.

This gave me a really good look

into how much goes on behind

the scenes of music production.

There is so much you need to

know and learn to be a producer

and engineer.

How did you find it?

I loved the recording process,

being able to see your song

evolve from basic lyrics and

piano to a full-on song is

amazing. You also had to be

prepared so you didn’t waste

time in the studio.

What’s next for you with your

music?

I’ve just got back into the

studio and I’m currently

working on another song, which

I’ll hopefully be releasing this

year. I will also be recording

a music video for my song

Wondering in the next few

months.

I also just started teaching

some singing lessons and I will

start with my first two students

next week, so if anyone is still

looking for some lessons, I still

have some spots open.

Are you planning to release

an album?

Yes, I actually just recently

decided that I will be releasing

an album. It’s still in the very

early stages but that’s something

I’ll probably be working on next

year.

How often do you write

songs?

Not often enough. I try

to write songs or work on

songs whenever I’m not busy.

Most of the time my songs

are just made up from random

thoughts written down on

my phone during the day or

at night, or I sometimes

even record weird voice

memos of melodies that

just pop into my head in the

middle of the night. When I

have time, I’ll look at them, look

over lyrics and turn them into

songs.

What are the different

instruments you can play?

My main instrument is vocals.

I also play piano and very basic

guitar.

Is it difficult pursuing

music?

It’s difficult because you have

to put so much time and effort

into perfecting your craft,

writing songs, recording songs,

while still keeping time for

university, work and a social life.

But it’s all worth it in the long

run when music is the thing I

love doing.

•From page 13

What’s your favourite thing

about being a musician?

I love performing. Being

on stage and singing is what

makes me want to keep doing it.

Recording your owns songs and

watching them grow is also an

amazing experience as well.

What do you feel when

performing/singing?

I don’t know. I guess you just

get this rush of adrenaline and

then you just start singing and

it’s a really unexplainable feeling

unless you sort of do it yourself.

What’s your dream with

music?

My long-term dream with

music would be to have my songs

go like gold and platinum in New

Zealand and even internationally.

I would love to win some major

awards, also do a world-wide

tour performing to thousands of

people who know all the words to

my songs. My short-term dream

at the moment would just to be to

start with music in New Zealand,

get my songs more known and to

start performing them.

Which musicians do you look

up to and why?

I look up to Shawn Mendes

and Alessia Cara as they are both

amazing song writers and artists.

Shawn Mendes has released three

studio albums and headlined

MUSIC: Nicole Taylor recording at the Voodoo Music Studio in

Phillipstown.

three world tours and he’s only

20-years-old. I also love and look

up to Pink as she’s an amazing

song writer as well as an even

more amazing performer.

Other than music, what

other hobbies/activities are you

involved in?

At the moment, I’ve only really

been focussing on university. I

used to play football and netball

and stuff in high school, but I just

decided to sort of give that a miss

this year so I could fully focus on

my music.

What do you study and

where?

I’m at Canterbury University,

studying a Bachelor of Music,

majoring in a mixture of

performance and new music as

I can’t make up my mind yet

which one I want to continue

with as a major.

How have you found your first

year so far?

It’s been crazy but I’m finding

it great. My vocal lessons are

teaching me so much about

my voice, my posture, my

performing that I can already see

a big change in only one year. The

theory is also helping me with my

song writing and understanding

how things work and go together.

How do you balance study,

music and everything else going

on?

Planning. I’ve got my calendar

out and I have to plan each day –

what I’ve got free, what I need to

have done, my priorities. There’s

quite a lot to sort out but you get

it done.

What are you hoping to do

after completing your study?

I’m hoping before my three

years of university is up that my

music career might have taken off

a bit more. If this doesn’t happen,

then I will continue teaching

singing lessons and continue to

pursue music in some way. I hope

to be performing regularly and

be able to make a living off it, and

I also want to travel. So if I could

find a way to travel and continue

with music, that would be great.

How long have you lived in

Rolleston and what do you like

about it?

I’ve lived in Rolleston my whole

life, so I’ve seen it grow from a

Falbum

tiny town to a really huge one.

Even though Rolleston has got

big, I love where I live, I have

great people that live on my street

and it’s a nice community feel. It’s

especially cool when we have our

annual street party once a year.

Do you have any part time

jobs as well as singing lessons?

Yes, I have a part time job. I

work in Prebbleton at The Bridge

Armadillos, where I’m mostly

a waitress – sometimes I work

behind the bar.

How many hours do you work

there?

I normally work at night so

it kind of varies but normally

around 10 hours.

What’s your greatest

achievement been so far?

I guess releasing my singles;

that was a pretty good

achievement. I was actually

kind of nervous to release them

because it’s quite a personal thing

I guess.

safety award, Rolleston’s Smart

Membrane Solutions won the

Regus champion service delivery

– small enterprise award and

Lincoln Agritech Ltd won the

ChristchurchNZ champion innovation

award.

Taking out the ACC champion

workplace safety award had some

irony for Mt Hutt as its groomer

operator shift leader, Jade

Whirley, hobbled on stage with

crutches to collect the it.

However, Mt Hutt manager

James McKenzie said the injury

was not work-related. Mr Whirley

was due to have surgery the

following day for a rupture to his

Achilles tendon.

Mr McKenzie said the ski area

didn’t expect to win the award.

“That moment when it got

announced was absolutely fantastic,”

he said.

Smart Membrane Solutions

custom design and engineer

membrane filtration components

for the dairy industry.

Its commercial manager Mark

Hall said it was the first time the

company had entered the awards

and it was exciting to win.

Community funding

applications sought

Applications for the first round of funding from the new Selwyn Community Fund close at the end

of next month.

The Selwyn Community Fund was established earlier this year to support events and other

activities that help make Selwyn a great place, and contribute to community wellbeing, bringing

communities together and attracting visitors to the district.

The fund brings together the former Community Events Fund along with new funds, under a new

contestable funding application process.

Community Relations Manager Denise Kidd says one of the important ways the Council helps

to build strong communities is by supporting groups and organisations that contribute to

community wellbeing.

“The Selwyn Community Fund is a valuable way for the Council to support community groups

doing exciting, positive things in our district,” she says. “We’ve been pleased to be able to boost

the pool of funding available, and hopefully assist more groups.”

The fund is open to any recognised organisations whose principle functions or activities are of a

charitable (not-for-profit) nature.

The goals of the Selwyn Community Fund include increasing participation and engagement

in community life, celebrating Selwyn’s uniqueness, building community capacity, promoting

opportunities for volunteering, encouraging initiatives that build neighbourliness and community spirit.

Applications for the Selwyn Community Fund are open year round, with funding allocated in two

rounds each year. Round one closes on Wednesday 31 October.

Full details on eligibility and criteria, along with an online application form, are at www.selwyn.

govt.nz/selwyncommunityfund

Still time to shape the future Selwyn District Plan

There’s just over a week left for Selwyn residents to let the Council know what they think about the

review of the current District Plan so far.

Are we on the right track? has been the theme of the initial public consultation on a number of key draft

changes which closes at 5pm on Monday 8 October 2018.

Thank you to all those who have so far contacted us or visited our website at www.selwyn.govt.nz/

districtplanreview and sent their feedback or completed an online survey. If you want to talk to us then

come to CultureFest on Sunday 30 September at the Lincoln Domain where our review team will be

waiting for you.

So what happens next?

Feedback from this consultation will help inform the proposed rules which will be included in the

Proposed District Plan. It’s expected the Proposed District Plan will be notified in early 2020 for formal

public consultation and be fully in place, subject to any Environment Court appeals, in March 2022.

CultureFest 2018 set for a visual

extravaganza

There’s a feast of colour, culture, music, arts and international cuisine

on show for Selwyn residents this weekend at CultureFest 2018.

The event, at the Lincoln Domain on Sunday 30 September, will host

a full day of performances, activities, and fun including dancers,

singers, performers and a kabaddi exhibition (professional Indian

sport and a cross between rugby and tag).

Senior Events and Recreation Advisor Dave Tippett expects the

sporting exhibition to be a huge hit.

“We will have a game of kabaddi take place, which is an Indian

contact sport – some may see it as a mix between tag and rugby

without the ball”, he says.

The basic rules of the game is for an attacking ‘raider’ to tag out

members of the defending team without being tackled, all while the

raider holds their breath.

Mr Tippett says it’s a high speed, high impact game that should be

a great watch. Kabaddi will be played from 1.30pm for 40 minutes.

CultureFest will also feature 21 other performances from a range of

cultures around the world, from Aotearoa to Russia, Latin America,

Poland and China.

Mr Tippett says the event is a great opportunity for Selwyn residents

to expand their understanding of the people living around us and

the cultures they come from.

“Selwyn is growing rapidly and so is the diversity of the people

living in our district,” he says. “We are hugely proud of how Selwyn

is changing and this is a great opportunity to celebrate it.”

CultureFest will start at 11am on Sunday 30 September at the

Lincoln Domain (or if wet, inside the Lincoln Event Centre).

Selwyn Civil Defence volunteers

needed

We’re recruiting more volunteers to build on the district’s ability to

respond to a Civil Defence emergency.

The Emergency Management Team is hosting a recruitment evening

at the Council offices in Rolleston on Tuesday 2 October at 7pm.

Emergency Management Team Leader Ryan O'Rourke says the

Council is looking to fill roles in all three of its volunteer Civil

Defence teams including the Response Team, Welfare Team and

Community Response Team.

“This latest round of volunteer recruitment will build on a strong

base of Civil Defence volunteers who live in the district,” Mr

O’Rourke says. “We want to increase the number of volunteers

to ensure we can manage a long duration event, such as an

earthquake generated by the Alpine Fault.”

Do you have the skills and time to help your community?

The Community Response Team needs as many members as

possible. Across Selwyn there are more than 30 community

teams which are ready to respond in an emergency to support

their local area.

The Selwyn Response Team, specialised and highly trained, requires

another seven members and the Selwyn Emergency Welfare Team

needs another eight volunteers. The welfare team which trains

weekly, is a new team trained to open and operate a Civil Defence

Centre, providing support to people who have to evacuate their

homes in an emergency.

All volunteers will receive ongoing training and support.

Visit www.selwyn.govt.nz/civildefence to find out more about

volunteering for one of the Civil Defence volunteer teams, and to

read about the kinds of events that can occur in the Selwyn district.

Enquiries can also be emailed to the Selwyn District Council

Emergency Management Team: civildefence@selwyn.govt.nz.

Lincoln High cyclist

eyes up another NZ title

• By Jacob Page

LINCOLN HIGH School’s

Henrietta Christie will

be out to repeat her

success from a year ago

at the national road

cycling championships in

Canterbury which start on

Saturday.

Henrietta, who lives in

Rolleston, was the under-16

champion last year

and finished second in the

points race.

More than 600 riders

from 99 schools will compete

in the three-day event.

It will start with a team

time trial at Loburn, North

Canterbury, on Saturday,

then an individual road

race on Sunday in the

same region and a points

race at Ruapuna Park

Raceway on Monday.

Henrietta warmed up by

winning her age-group at

the southern schools’ tour

in Blenheim earlier this

month. The 16-year-old

won the overall winner’s

yellow jersey, the sprinter’s

green jersey and the Queen

of the Mountains polka

dot jersey.

She also won the

Christchurch schools’

winter road cycling series

held from May until

September. She was part

of a Cycling New Zealand

development tour as well,

finishing fifth in the Tour

of Canberra in April.

“It’s been a learning

year for me with a few

mechanical issues, but I’ve

still been happy with my

results,” she said.

Henrietta had a practice

ride on the 35km North

Canterbury course a

fortnight ago and said it

was flat, which means she

will need to rely on her

speed rather than her hillclimbing

ability.

She says she rides almost

100km each week and prefers

road racing because no

two events are the same.

“I do the track in summer

but that’s mainly just

for fitness.”

Henrietta said she has

watched some of the North

Island tours to get an idea

of who the best riders are

but she backs herself to be

a title contender.

Three-year absence

no problem to shooter

BURNHAM DAIRY farmer

Martin Bates admits he is a “bit

rusty” when it comes to the

heart-pumping challenge of clay

target shooting.

But that didn’t stop the

29-year-old from taking out the

New Zealand Young Farmers

Tasman clay target shooting

competition a fortnight ago.

“It was great to blow out a few

cobwebs,” he said.

“Coming away with a win was

a bit of a shock to the system,”

he said.

“It’s probably been about three

years since I last swung a gun at

a few clay targets.”

The win advances Martin

through to the national final at

the New Zealand Young Farmers

competitions which will

take place at Christchurch in

February.

“I reckon the changes are a

good thing,” said Martin, who

milks 1200 cows under contract

at Burnham and is a member of

Dunsandel Young Farmers.

Previously those events were

held alongside the FMG Young

Farmer of the Year grand final.

“It meant that if you were

competing you didn’t get to see

much of grand final. Now people

can attend both events,” he said.

He said the Tasman shoot was

a great way to spend a weekend.

ON TARGET: Burnham dairy farmer Martin Bates won

New Zealand Young Farmers Tasman clay target shooting

competition a fortnight ago after a three-year absence from

the sport.

“We had a great turnout for

the shooting,” Bates said.

mates were part of it so I thought

I’d give it a go.”

He has dabbled in

a single, winning the

under-17 South Island

title last year.

Anderson earned

his only Maadi Cup

medal in April in the

double-sculls with Ben

Scarlett.

“You always want to

have a Maadi medal so

to have one after four

seasons, was a good

way to end things,” he

said.

Anderson said he

was determined to

see how far he could

go in rowing and he

said while he enjoyed

rowing in the single, he

realised he’d likely be

part of a crew.

“I’ll be happy to row

wherever I can get an opportunity.

“The chance to make national

teams and compete overseas is a

big motivator.”

SELWYN TIMES

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections

in the Selwyn District

Setting the Benchmark

Architecturally

designed with nice

lines is the best

way to describe

Benchmark Homes’

new Faringdon

showhome. The

professionalism of

design and finish is

evident from first

impression through

to every detail within

this home.

Benchmark Homes have produced the

perfect Pavilion style with all roof lines of

the home lining up creating an impression

that the roof might have been shaped out

of granite. The result is a simple, stylish

design.

While many house designs are unable

to efficiently exploit a north facing section

without the need for a long hallway, the

design of this home perfectly capitalises

on its north east facing site so sun streams

into this pavilion throughout the day with

light and warmth captured from early

morning to sundown, while the deck and

breezeway are also sun drenched spots.

This is augmented with features such

as a strategically placed skylight so the

kitchen has afternoon sun while a window

over a bench where the electric hob is inset

means the cook has a view of the garden

beyond.

Benchmark Homes have extended the

kitchen bench space for cleaner lines,

adding a storage cupboard instead of the

traditional walk-in pantry. The result is a

functional kitchen with impact.

The kitchen, dining and living areas

seamlessly flow. This is created by using

scissor trusses, which give the entrance a

raked ceiling to roofline while a window

above the door following the raking gives a

modern streamlined sharp look.

Evident throughout, is the way design

has been to the fore. The shape of the wall

has been used to advantage for feature

bookcases in various spots within the

home. The delightful retreat room might

instead be a library, study, bedroom, guest

room or small living room. The sun filled

master bedroom has separation, offering a

sense of escape and sliders to the deck for

a quiet place to relax and read.

This is a very appealing yet practical

213sqm house. It is ideal for a wide range

of demographics from those starting out,

to professionals and those in their 60s.

With a build price ranging from $390,000

to around $440,000 (depending on

specification of fittings), this showhome is

worth viewing.

“Many couples love this house whether

young or older,” says Richard Evans,

Director of Benchmark Homes.

Benchmark Homes aim to set a trend in

house design, often leading the way with

features that are sometimes ahead of their

time. With this showhome they have met

the mark.

MAKING BUILDING easy



Motoring

Track success boosts Commodore

• By Ross Kiddie

THE Australian V8 Supercar

championship is one of my

favourite motorsport viewing

events.

It’s even better when Kiwi

drivers are in the hunt for the

title, but I guess it’s always been

the epitome of the classic Ford

v Holden battles. Sure, there

are other marques within the

series, but for Ford and Holden

over the years it has always

been a matter of a win on Sunday,

sell on Monday scenario.

Of course, it’s all changed

now that Holden and Ford are

not manufacturing in Australia,

and from next year Ford

will ditch its Falcon body shell

in favour of Mustang.

Holden, though, will still use

the Commodore skin and as

we are seeing in the series this

year, it’s the ZB look, the new

Commodore which is selling

down under and sourced from

Europe.

The new model lands in two

body styles, liftback and what

GM-Holden call a Tourer,

which is effectively a wagontype

body shell. This evaluation

focuses on the rangetopping

model in the range, a

Calais-specced Tourer.

a smooth operating manner

and is paired to a nine-speed

automatic transmission, I

would rate the combination as

one of the nicest I have had the

good fortune to drive in recent

times.

I particularly like the engine,

and although there is as little

bit of gruff howl at high revolutions

it is honest all through

the rev band and never falters,

gearing there is never a point

the big Tourer a healthy turn

All of these figures add

up to reasonably impressive

ability and combine well with

the driveline which will cater

for the role Kiwis have come

to expect from the Commodore

nameplate. It also gets a

2100kg tow rating, in Tourer

form the rear wagon area is

cavernous, there’s a 560-litre

If you look at it in that context

it is a bargain and a car you

MY PRIDE AND JOY

SELWYN TIMES

A jewel of a truck

Over the years, a few vintage cars have

spent time with Roy Grainger, yet the jewel

in the crown has been his 1939 Diamond

T truck, purchased from the founder of

Invercargill’s Bill Richardson Transport

World in the 1980s.

“Bill had purchased a collection of

vehicles including the Diamond T which

he put up for sale,” said Roy who says it was

in reasonable condition and mostly intact

though not going.

“Someone once told me that after buying

your first vintage car everyone knows

you’re mad so no one was surprised when I

bought the Diamond T.”

It took Roy nine years and many hours to

bring the Diamond T back to the showylooking

truck it is today. He says it is not

really a workhorse or your average truck

and more like a Cadillac with lots of

chrome, full hubcaps, and big over-riders

on the front bumpers.

The truck’s original colour was a very

light shade of blue then when the army

commandeered it during the war, it was

painted brown. When returned to its

owners, they painted it green and Roy has

since painted it dark blue.

It has a six-cylinder side-valve Hercules

motor, a Warner four-speed gearbox and

a Clark differential making it a heavy flat

deck truck with 20in dual wheels at the rear

and about a 3m deck.

Its rating was 2½-tonne, however, the

agents Scott Brothers were purported to

have told its first owners (builders Rowley

and Sons) that any part would be replaced

as long as no more than 4-tonne were

carried on the back. It gave good service

including as a farm truck in West Melton

after the war.

Roy says the Diamond T runs well though

it is not fast, cruising at about 70km/h and

doing around 12 miles to the gallon.

Produced by the Chicago based Diamond

T Motor Car Company (founded by C A

Tilt), the Diamond T logo incorporated

the founder’s initial and a diamond to

indicate quality. The company initially

made cars then within two years, moved to

manufacturing trucks which they produced

for over 50 years.

Roy’s Diamond T has featured in and

on the cover of a book Vintage Trucks and

Commercials, written by Steve Reid.

Roy occasionally takes his Diamond T

for a drive and exhibits it at car and truck

shows. It will be on display at the upcoming

Selwyn Motor Fest, an event supported by

the Selwyn District Council, to be held on

Sunday, November 25, from 10am until

3pm (on the same site as last year - opposite

Rolleston College). If you would like to

be a sponsor or exhibit a vehicle, contact

selwynmotorfest@gmail.com.

MOTORCARE PROFESSIONALS

Aiming for safe motoring

Motor vehicles offer more

timely travel yet too often the news

features serious road accidents

and deaths.

From a peak in road fatalities of

843 in 1973, the number steadily

declined to a low of 253 in 2013

before climbing again, with a

higher figure registered each year

since then. In 2017, the national

road toll was 378, 51 more deaths

than in 2016. This is partly due

to an increase in the number of

vehicles on the road, rising from

1789.4 to 3,656.3 between 1980

and 2016.

The statistics show that road

related deaths and injuries per

100,000 people have in fact

decreased, from 18.9 to 7 in that

time. Regardless, the road toll is

still too high and injuries from

road accidents considerable at

12,456 people in 2016, an increase

of 1,237 from 2014.

Recovery for those injured can

be drawn out with long-term

health issues, a personal cost

for those concerned and their

families. It also diverts money

away from other areas of health

care.

Discussion around ways to

reduce the road toll is a hot

topic. The answer goes back to

those using the roads. Roads are

continually being improved and

vehicles have more safety features

like air bags but still accidents

occur due to deliberate and

unintentional driver error.

The countryside has its fair share

of narrow and winding roads as

well as blind intersections. These

are not likely to be a problem

where a driver keeps to their side

of the road, slows down and stops

when required to do so, drives at

a suitable speed and only overtake

when there is sufficiently clear

Ensure the road is clear

before overtaking.

road ahead.

Poor weather conditions also

bring challenges. Again it is a

matter of driving to the conditions

and looking for potential hazards

so appropriate action can be taken

to prevent an accident. There

is also less driver control and

reaction time when cruise control

is switched on in wet or windy

conditions. This function can be a

hazard when a vehicle encounters

water or ice as the set speed is

maintained.

With speeds greater on the

open road, it takes longer to stop

a vehicle. If travelling too close or

distracted like when using a cell

phone or if texting, then a driver

may not have time to stop or take

evasive action.

It is usually the driver and

not the vehicle that causes an

accident. Adopting a responsible

approach to driving increases

all our chances of arriving home

safely. Having respect for others

on the road, driving according to

the conditions, tucking the cell

phone away until off the road, not

treating the road like a racetrack,

and being patient when driving,

all help to keep our roads safer.

Drive to the

conditions.

Travel at a safe

stopping distance.

SELWYN TIMES

PETS & PAWS

Are you ready to own a pet?

Taking care of an animal is a big responsibility and a lifelong

commitment. Unfortunately, many new pet owners are unprepared

for the responsibility that comes with owning a companion animal.

As a result, animal centres receive and care for thousands of

unwanted, sick, injured and abused pets every year.

To help decrease these numbers, SPCAs and animal rescue

groups throughout New Zealand strongly urge all potential pet

owners to carefully consider their circumstances and capabilities

before committing to pet ownership.

Questions, which may help you decide whether you are ready to

bring a pet into your life, include:

• Do you own your own home? If you are renting, you will need

permission to house a pet, or you may have to move to a rental

that does allow pets.

• Is your home environment suitable for

animals? You’ll need a safe space for your

pet that does not limit its ability to express

normal behaviour.

• Can you afford to own a pet? Desexing,

housing, feeding and vet bills can be costly;

you’ll need to factor this into your pet

ownership.

• Do you have the time and energy for

a pet? All domestic animals thrive on

the love and attention of their owners.

Animals are sentient beings and enjoy the

companionship of their humans.

• Are you prepared to be a ‘forever’ pet

owner? Cats and dogs can live up to 15-20

years.

Having a pet is more than just owning an

animal; pets become vital and important

members of the family, offering a lifetime

of unconditional love, companionship, and

loyalty. Pets are for life!

If you do decide to go ahead with pet

ownership, there are many animal rescue

centres and groups in Canterbury with

animals available for adoption. Each animal

has a story to tell, and all deserve a second

chance at finding a new ‘forever’ home.

Gardening

Plant your greens in early spring


• By Rachel Vogan

AS THE days get longer and the

soil slowly begins to warm up

and dry out, the time is right

to set about growing our own

greens to feed the troops.

PEAS

Peas are a super quick and

easy crop to grow, and have the

advantage of being remarkably

hardy to cold temperatures. They

prefer a fertile soil in full sun, and

would benefit from a supporting

frame or series of stakes to keep

the crop off the ground. Sow seed

directly in the garden where you

wish it to grow, allowing 10-15cm

between each plant. I put two

seeds in each hole. Cover the area

with mesh or netting, as birds just

love to peck at fresh pea shoots

as they emerge through the soil.

Once the plants reach 15-20cm,

the leaves don’t seem to have as

much appeal, so the nets can be

removed. They are a great crop

for tubs and planters, and dwarf

varieties are wonderful in hanging

baskets or window boxes. Plant

plenty, as once they come ready,

you never seem to have enough.

CELERY

Just think Bloody Marys,

salads and slaws when it comes

to this hardy vegetable. I suggest

starting with seedlings, as

seed often takes six to eight

weeks to germinate and reach a

transplantable size. Two punnets

will be enough for a family or

large flat. Celery is a long-term

crop, taking between four to six

months to mature. Enrich the

soil with some good manure

or rich compost and space the

plants two hand-widths apart. It’s

a good container crop too, and

two or three plants can easily fit

in a 10-litre bucket. A sneaky

tip is to harvest the outer stalks

individually by carefully cutting

them off at the base, leaving the

rest of the plant to grow happily.

ASPARAGUS

Home-grown is just the bee’s

knees, and you have two options

when it comes to growing;

either planting out dormant

crowns, which are still in the

shops now, or exploring the

option of sowing seed. If you

want to grow your own spears,

you must allocate a permanent

spot in the garden as asparagus

is a crop that lives in the ground

all year round and, if cared

for well, will crop for decades.

PATIENCE:

Asparagus will

take two to

three years before

it can be

harvested. Find

a space in the

garden where

it can grown

permanently.

Remember to pack your patience

when establishing a patch, as

it can take two to three years

before you will be harvesting

anything, and it can’t be cropped

when it’s young as the crown

needs to bulk up underground

before picking can begin.

SPRING ONIONS

It’s all in the name with this

crop, but you actually can plant

them all year round. Either sow

from seed now, transplanting

once they are big enough, or

cheat like I do and buy them in

punnets. I don’t bother separating

them out into singles; instead I

just tease each plug in half and

plant that. This means that when

it comes to harvesting, I have

a whole bunch to pick at once,

which suits me as it is how I use

them in the kitchen. Look out for

the red, bunching onions; these

have a bit more zing. Did you

know that the longer you leave

spring onions in the ground, the

stronger the white part tastes?

ROCKET

Rocket, or arugula, is one of

the fastest-growing and tastiest

salad greens around. It is the

epitome of a low-maintenance

crop; you can scatter seed directly

onto the ground and walk

away, and will be greeted with

seedlings within a few weeks, and

harvestable leaves only a fortnight

to a month later. Plants are

widely available all year round.

If the soil dries out in summer,

the plant will bolt and go to

seed, so perk up old, tired soil

with sheep manure or compost

before planting in order to avoid

this. It’s an ideal resident for the

patio and window boxes near the

kitchen, and if you keep picking

it without allowing it to flower, it

will crop for up to six months or

more, as long as the soil remains

fertile and regularly watered.

yourself

From the toes on your feet up to the hair

on your head you can spoil yourself on our

Expo Lounges and leave the Expo feeling a

little more relaxed and pampered.

with some

Pampering

sessions at

the Expo

Visit the Vivo Hair Lounge for all things

hair and with special expo only prices on a

range of hair and beauty products including

discounted GHDs you could walk away with

a few bargains as well. Sit down and have

your hair curled by the Vivo team for free and make sure you have your photo

taken in front of the Vivo photo wall so you can enter to win a fabulous makeover

package.

Mama Lash will be at the Expo for the first time. Stop by their large Pamper

Lounge where the team will be offering Expo visitors lash extensions and brow

treatments onsite. If you have always wanted long, thick and full eyelashes then

chat to the team onsite and discover the easy way to achieve fabulous looking

eyes that will make you stand out in a crowd. You can either have your eyebrow

extensions done at the show or simply watch a demonstration to see how this

stunning look is achieved.

After a successful show last year, Sparklewhite Teeth will once more be offering

teeth whitening treatments at the show. This area was buzzing last year with

visitors lining up to take advantage of the amazing expo only prices. Sparklewhite

Teeth have developed a new technology for teeth whitening that works so

effectively you can lighten your teeth by 2-10 shades in just one 60 minute

session. Create a positive attitude for yourself and improve your appearance while

achieving a more youthful look with your new radiant smile.

Sparklewhite will also have the fascinating Aduro’s LED mask onsite for visitors

to try out at the show. A re-invention of the traditional facial mask brought up-todate

through the use of LED light technology Aduro’s patented design follows the

contours of the face and covers the entire facial area in therapeutic light – offering

a full facial rejuvenating experience, for range of skin imperfections including acne

and signs of aging.

Before you leave the Expo take your tired feet over to the Southern Reflexology

Group Lounge and treat yourself to a relaxing reflexology treatment.

The ancient Chinese practice of reflexology, a manual therapy focusing on the

feet, has recently enjoyed a surge in popularity as a modern holistic therapy to

relieve pain and stress. Reflexologists believe that different areas on your feet and

hands correspond to other parts of your body, and massaging them stimulates

your parasympathetic nervous system to heal itself. Reflexology can help to create

a healthy harmonious state within the body and triggers the body’s natural powers

of self-healing.

Find out more from the Southern Reflexology Group onsite at the Women’s

Lifestyle Expo.

THE ULTIMATE

WEEKEND FOR

WOMEN IS

BACK!

The Expo is a perfect place to meet for a girl’s day out but it’s also a great

place to escape and have some well-deserved “me time” if you would

rather browse the sites by yourself at your own pace. With so much going

on and with Door sales only $10 there is every reason to visit and none to

stay at home!

Renee Murray from NZME Events says “Our aim is to have as wide of a

range of companies involved with the Expo as possible. Women are all

different and their individual interests are so diverse. One woman may

be interested in gourmet food but the woman beside her may be more

interested in organic skincare or booking a V8 Supercar drive. We have

artisan crafters like jeweller Debra Fallowfield exhibiting alongside national

brands like Vivo Hair and Suzuki. It’s great on the weekend to see all the

various women visit the show, from teenagers to business women, mothers

to grandmothers and friends simply enjoying each other’s company”.

CleanPaleo launching new product at the Expo

CleanPaleo is a NZ company dedicated to creating great tasting, clean,

whole food products that let your body know that ‘You Mean Business’ when

it comes to looking after yourself. The Expo will give visitors a chance to

buy their brand new Better Balls product, a revolution in healthy snacking

because they genuinely are a healthy snacking option – less than 20% sugar

and they taste amazing! Make sure you stop by the CleanPaleo site in the

Expo Taste Zone where you can also chat with reality TV couple and health

gurus Art Green and Matilda Rice.

Since appearing on The Bachelor NZ, Art and Matilda have both become

proponents of healthier eating with Art extending his interest in healthier

living into a business venture, part-owning Riot Foods, which consists of

sub-brands Clean Paleo and Poppy and Olive which you can both discover

at the Women’s Lifestyle Expo.

The popular Craft Zone will include artisan crafters from all over New

Zealand with gorgeous original products often not found in shops including

kitchen herb planters, soaps & beauty products, original art, home decor,

handmade jewellery, beeswax wraps and more.

For a ‘tasteful’ experience like no other, head to the ‘Taste Zone’ where you

can experience, try, and buy a range of fantastic products, so why not treat

yourself? From wine to paleo food, meat rubs & spices and even french

terrines, parfaits and pates you can tantalise your taste buds with a tasty

treat from the Expo Taste Zone.

Grab a Goodie Bag bargain!

Only available for purchase at the Women’s Lifestyle Expo these goodie bags

have become famous with Expo visitors who love a bargain. As always, the

bags this year are a mystery bag including a variety of Skincare & cosmetic

products,a fashion scarf and more. Priced at only $20, these bags are sure
