Pathway falls into no man’s land<br />
Council,<br />
developers<br />
at odds over<br />
who pays<br />
• By Emily O’Connell<br />
RATEPAYERS MAY have to<br />
pay to sort out a footpath and<br />
cycleway outside The Warehouse<br />
in Rolleston.<br />
The footpath and cycleway on<br />
Masefield Drive disappear as the<br />
road narrows around a bend.<br />
The district<br />
council and<br />
the developers<br />
of Rolleston<br />
Square, where<br />
The Warehouse<br />
is sited, are<br />
at odds over<br />
which should<br />
David Ward<br />
pay.<br />
Rolleston<br />
Square director Lloyd Bathurst<br />
said the footpath was put in by<br />
the district council.<br />
Mr Bathurst said his company<br />
have fulfilled its responsibilities<br />
in regards to the development.<br />
Rolleston Residents’<br />
Association chairwoman Leonie<br />
MacLachlan said her personal<br />
view was that it needs to be<br />
sorted so it’s safe for pedestrians<br />
and vehicles.<br />
“It’s been nearly one year I<br />
believe. So the council and the<br />
developer possibly need to work<br />
in together to resolve it,” she<br />
said.<br />
Mrs MacLachlan said “a lot”<br />
of people have mentioned it to<br />
her and it was discussed at a<br />
residents’ association meeting but<br />
the council told them it was the<br />
developer’s responsibility.<br />
The district council has<br />
asked Mr Bathurst’s company for<br />
a meeting this week over road<br />
widening, kerb and channel, a<br />
footpath and cycleway.<br />
He had not decided if they<br />
would attend the meeting.<br />
District council chief executive<br />
David Ward said it considers the<br />
developers have responsibilities<br />
to resolve the current situation to<br />
avoid costs having to be met by<br />
ratepayers.<br />
“Council is aware of the issue<br />
and has been discussing the<br />
upgrade acknowledged as needed<br />
with the adjoining developer,” he<br />
said.<br />

ROLLESTON RESIDENTS have every<br />
reason to be disappointed with the<br />
outcome of road work on Masefield Drive<br />
which we highlight on page 1 today.<br />
And it looks like ratepayers across the<br />
district will have to pay for a fix.<br />
The cycleway and pathway outside of The Warehouse stops<br />
where the road narrows.<br />
Reporter Emily O’Connell has been back and forth to the<br />
district council and the company involved in the development<br />
to try and find out which will have to fix it.<br />
But it’s a case of pass the parcel.<br />
The district council believes the company is responsible; the<br />
company says it has done the job as required.<br />
The council won’t say if legal action is a possibility. It’s probably<br />
not worth the cost.<br />

Buyer’s market –<br />
prices ease, property listings jump<br />
• By Emily O’Connell<br />
IT’S A buyer’s market for<br />
properties in <strong>Selwyn</strong>.<br />
Information released by<br />
realestate.co.nz also shows<br />
Rolleston is one of the most<br />
sought after areas in Canterbury<br />
It rates the fifth most sought<br />
after area behind Fendalton, Rangiora,<br />
Christchurch’s central city<br />
and Cashmere.<br />
A big climb in new listings<br />
and a drop in asking prices are<br />
making the market more attractive<br />
to buyers, realestate.co.nz<br />
says.<br />
Rolleston’s Ray White licensee<br />
agent and business owner<br />
Brendan ‘Big Red’ Shefford said<br />
prices “have eased” as there’s<br />
more supply and buyers have a<br />
“good selection.”<br />
Mr Shefford said there are<br />
many contributing factors to<br />
Rolleston’s popularity.<br />
He said Rolleston “is the heart<br />
of <strong>Selwyn</strong>” and it has a variety of<br />
schools on offer as well as other<br />
facilities, employment opportunities<br />
and the development of the<br />
Christchurch Southern Motorway.<br />

Mr Shefford said.<br />
The median sale price in<br />
Rolleston from July to September<br />
was $545,000.<br />
Realestate.co.nz spokeswoman<br />
Vanessa Taylor said Cantabrians<br />
remain the biggest searchers for<br />
property within the region.<br />

When it comes to <strong>Selwyn</strong>, Mr<br />
Shefford said “a good percentage<br />
of them are moving within<br />
Canterbury.”<br />

owners are expecting to receive a<br />
letter with an updated property<br />
valuation in about a week.<br />
Quotable Value carried out<br />
the revaluation on behalf of the<br />
district council and it showed<br />
there has been a 6.7 per cent<br />
average increase in capital values<br />
in <strong>Selwyn</strong> since 2015.<br />
The valuations are an estimate<br />
of the likely price that would<br />
have been paid for the property<br />
on July 1 of this year.<br />
Mr Shefford believes the average<br />
increase is down to “natural<br />
growth” with “everything going<br />
up over time.”<br />
Residential property values<br />
rose by an average of 3.8 per cent<br />
between July 2015 and July <strong>2018</strong>,<br />
with lifestyle properties increasing<br />
by an average of 8.4 per cent.<br />
Property value changes varied<br />
across the largest towns – with average<br />
values increasing by 4.1 per<br />
cent in Rolleston, 1.1 per cent in<br />
Lincoln, 2.4 per cent in Prebbleton<br />
and 0.4 per cent in Darfield.<br />
Other townships showed<br />
similar increases with Leeston<br />
increasing 5.1 per cent, West<br />
Melton 3.8 per cent, Tai Tapu<br />
6.2 per cent and Southbridge<br />
showing a slight decrease at<br />
minus 0.3 per cent. Residential<br />
values in the rural areas of<br />
Malvern increased by 7.6 per<br />
cent and Ellesmere 3.3 per cent.<br />

Neighbour wakes teen from blaze<br />
• By Emily O’Connell<br />
BRODIE ABLETT will always<br />
be grateful to his neighbours<br />
who woke him from a nearby<br />
fire at the weekend.<br />
Mr Ablett, 19, was woken by<br />
his neighbour as a blaze in a<br />
garage on their property was<br />
within minutes<br />
of erupting<br />
into an inferno.<br />
He was asleep<br />
in his father’s<br />
Rakaia Huts<br />
house when<br />
the fire started<br />
Brodie<br />
Ablett<br />
in Merrolli<br />
and Graham<br />
Turner’s garage.<br />
Mr and Mrs Turner, who live<br />
on Ocean View Pl, were also<br />
woken by their neighbours,<br />
Barry McKay and Graeme<br />
Patterson, after Mr McKay<br />
smelled smoke about 5.50am<br />
on Sunday.<br />
Mr Patterson had been<br />
watching the England v South<br />
Africa rugby game and was<br />
planning to go whitebaiting.<br />
Mr McKay was planning to go<br />
fishing.<br />
Mr Ablett said he is<br />
“unexplainably grateful” to<br />
have been woken up by Mrs<br />
DAMAGE: Merrolli and Graham Turner’s garage after the fire.<br />
Turner. “I would hate to think<br />
how it may have gone down if<br />
it [the fire] had hit a gas bottle<br />
or the trees at the front of our<br />
section where the fire was<br />
heading,” he said.<br />
By the time Mr Ablett left<br />
his father’s house, Mr McKay<br />
and Mr Patterson had pulled<br />
the boat away from the front<br />
of the garage and were using<br />
the garden hose to begin<br />
extinguishing the fire.<br />
“We actually got it out with<br />
a garden hose, reasonably out<br />
anyway, and then the brigade<br />
turned up and took over from<br />
there,” Mr Patterson said.<br />
Southbridge chief fire officer<br />
Donald McMillan said they<br />
were “very lucky.” If no one<br />
had been awake, he said the fire<br />
would have spread to where Mr<br />
Ablett was sleeping in about<br />
10min.<br />
“It would have happened if<br />
no one had woken up, it would<br />
have spread,” he said.<br />
It took firefighters 20min to<br />
contain the blaze, which caused<br />
“considerable damage,” Mr<br />
McMillan said.<br />
Mrs Turner said they have<br />
insurance but it was still<br />
“pretty scary and shattering.”<br />
She said the garage contained<br />
their Suzuki Escudo, power<br />
tools, fishing and motor-cycle<br />
gear.<br />
Mrs Turner said the cause<br />
of the fire was still being<br />
investigated.<br />

Concern over fire risk<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-<br />
Harding<br />
HOT WEATHER and strong<br />
wind at the weekend has<br />
Kirwee’s chief fire officer<br />
pleading with residents to<br />
maintain their properties<br />
to prevent major fires over<br />
summer.<br />
Chief fire officer Stuart Jones<br />
is calling for residents to be vigilant<br />
and ensure they cut down<br />
long grass.<br />
The brigade is concerned over<br />
the difficulty it is facing when<br />
trying to access rural properties<br />
with overgrown driveways.<br />
The fire brigade is also<br />
concerned over the build-up of<br />
dry material that can fuel fires.<br />
“We have had those couple of<br />
inches of rain and the nice hot<br />
weather. We are going to have<br />
a quick spurt of growth and<br />
everything is going to get quite<br />
long quickly before it dies off.”<br />
MetService meteorologist<br />
Gerrit Keyser said the<br />
combination of heat and<br />
the fohn wind coming off<br />
the mountains on Saturday<br />
and Sunday made the best<br />
conditions for fires to start.<br />
The outlook for the next<br />
four weeks shows average<br />
temperatures are set to<br />
be higher than normal in<br />
Canterbury compared to<br />
previous years.<br />
Mr Keyser said it is expecting<br />
temperatures to be 1.7 deg<br />
C warmer on average than<br />
previous years. The average<br />
maximum in <strong>November</strong> for<br />
Canterbury is 18.9 deg C.<br />
Mr Jones said trying to get<br />
large fire trucks and tankers<br />
up long driveways covered in<br />
overgrowth is “impossible”.<br />
He said it is hard to get the<br />
trucks into overgrown areas<br />
where fires are developing<br />
and there are concerns over<br />
firefighters getting trapped.<br />
“We are just damaging our<br />
vehicles if we do this and we are<br />
putting our members at risk,”<br />
he said.<br />
Mr Jones also said the sale<br />
of fireworks should be “totally<br />
banned”.<br />
“Especially in these winds,<br />
it was ridiculous with the<br />
winds we had out here all day<br />
Saturday. Most of Saturday<br />
night there was potential for<br />
a major disaster . . . just from<br />
stupid fireworks,” he said.<br />
He said people are<br />
irresponsible with how they use<br />
fireworks and there are already<br />
enough displays in Rolleston<br />
and New Brighton.<br />
THE KIRWEE Volunteer Fire<br />
Brigade is ramping up its efforts<br />
to secure a rapid response<br />
vehicle to speed up its ability to<br />
respond to emergencies in tough<br />
terrain.<br />
Chief fire officer Stuart Jones<br />
said the brigade needs a fourwheel-drive<br />
as it is often called<br />
out in deep snow, high winds,<br />
and to areas with unsealed<br />
roads.<br />
Mr Jones also owns the<br />
Challenge service station in<br />
Kirwee. It has launched a My<br />
Challenge rewards programme<br />
to help the brigade achieve its<br />
goal. Customers have the ability<br />
to choose to donate their My<br />
Challenge fuel discount to the<br />
brigade.<br />
“We’ve been doing raffles<br />
down at the hotel, the usual<br />
stuff, but now we’re seeing a<br />
much wider section of our<br />
village community able to<br />
donate because it’s so simple,”<br />
Mr Jones said.<br />
He said being limited to<br />
large fire trucks is slowing<br />
down its ability to respond to<br />
emergencies. The 4WD and<br />
a locker box for equipment is<br />
estimated to cost about $50,000<br />
and the brigade has raised about<br />
Local<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
Brigade pumps up bid for<br />
rapid response vehicle<br />
RESPONSE: Kirwee’s<br />
Challenge service station is<br />
running a promotion to help<br />
get the fire brigade a rapid<br />
response vehicle.<br />
$30,000 over the past year.<br />
“Taking the big fire appliances<br />
around those tracks is pretty<br />
challenging. We’re damaging<br />
the trucks, smashing mirrors<br />
off, that sort of thing, just to<br />
get around and up these long<br />
and tree-lined drives,” said Mr<br />
Jones.<br />
He said the brigade could use<br />
the rapid response vehicle to<br />
locate the scene of an emergency<br />
and scout out safe access before<br />
bringing in its heavy equipment.<br />
He’s hoping the Challenge<br />
initiative will get them over the<br />
goal line.<br />

Garden award ‘a surprise’<br />
• By Emily O’Connell<br />
FOR MARILYN and Dave<br />
Cable, being named as the<br />
overall winners in the Rolleston<br />
Residents’ Garden Competition<br />
came as a surprise.<br />
The competition, which<br />
encourages people to beautify<br />
the town through gardening,<br />
attracted 34 entries this year.<br />
Unable to spend as much time<br />
in the garden as they would have<br />
liked, Mr and Mrs Cable didn’t<br />
feel confident going into the<br />
contest.<br />
In spite of this, the couple won<br />
the large garden category and<br />
became the overall winners.<br />
They have been entered every<br />
year since 2011 and Mrs Cable<br />
says she just “loves” gardening.<br />
She said Mr Cable does the<br />
“lawn, edges and hedges” and<br />
she does the rest.<br />
“It gives me an opportunity<br />
to get the garden tidied up to<br />
a reasonable standard, it gives<br />
me a date that I need to work<br />
towards,” Mrs Cable said.<br />
Competition president<br />
Brenda Dunlop said this year’s<br />
competition went “really well”<br />
and they were “impressed” with<br />
the standard of gardens entered.<br />
A prize-giving was held last<br />
week for winners at Lemonwood<br />
Grove School. Mayor Sam<br />
Broughton helped present the<br />
awards.<br />
Winners:<br />

Sunstrike likely factor in crash<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-<br />
Harding<br />
SUNSTRIKE IS believed<br />
to be a factor in a threeway<br />
car crash in Rolleston<br />
– leaving the drivers<br />
involved lucky to walk<br />
away injury free.<br />
A man driving on<br />
Curraghs Rd failed to see<br />
an oncoming vehicle on<br />
Maddisons Rd.<br />
The impact of the crash<br />
caused the vehicle travelling<br />
on Maddisons Rd to<br />
collide with another car<br />
waiting on the other side<br />
of Curraghs Rd.<br />
The crash happened at<br />
about 8.10am on Friday<br />
morning and was attended<br />
by police, ambulance<br />
and the fire service.<br />
Sergeant Phil Bayne<br />
said the man who failed to<br />
see the oncoming vehicle<br />
possibly had sunstrike as<br />
he was looking east.<br />
A woman driving the<br />
vehicle on Maddisons Rd<br />
was taken to Christchurch<br />
Hospital to be assessed<br />
but there were no injuries.<br />
Sergeant Phil Bayne<br />
said the crash could have<br />
ended in a fatality or serious<br />
injuries.<br />
He said it was lucky<br />
the speed limit had been<br />
reduced to 80km/h on<br />
Maddisons Rd.<br />
“That had a major<br />
impact on lessening the<br />
severity of the crash. The<br />
fact everyone was wearing<br />
seat belts made it easier as<br />
well,” Sergeant Bayne said.<br />
Sergeant Bayne said<br />
the car travelling on<br />
Maddisons Rd and the<br />
car waiting on Curraghs<br />
Rd sustained moderate to<br />
severe damage.<br />

FINAL<br />
WEEK<br />
CARING: Fern Broomhall, of Prebbleton, looking after quintuplet lambs which<br />
were born 11 days ago. Fern’s mother, Stephanie Broomhall, says the fiveyear-old<br />
is “very nurturing” and “just loves” all animals, especially lambs. Mrs<br />
Broomhall said she’s heard it’s quite rare for a ewe to have five lambs. When<br />
she’s older, Fern wants to be either an “animal doctor” or work at a zoo.<br />

Armistice Day commemorations have<br />
HONOURED: Trooper<br />
Gilbert ‘Bertie’ McGill of the<br />
Canterbury Mounted Rifles,<br />
taken before transferring to the<br />
Canterbury Infantry Regiment.<br />
He died of wounds while<br />
serving on the Western Front in<br />
France. <br />
Historian and district council staff member Wayne<br />
Stack continues his monthly look at <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s past.<br />
Anyone with suggestions for future features can<br />
phone Wayne on 021 119 91<strong>07</strong>. This month’s feature<br />
covers the Armistice Day commemorations<br />
THE COMMEMORATION of<br />
the centenary of Armistice Day<br />
to be held at the new Lakeside<br />
Soldiers’ Memorial Hall on<br />
Sunday has a greater historical<br />
significance for the <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
District than most people realise.<br />
Traditionally in New Zealand<br />
and Australia, Anzac Day has<br />
provided the main focus for<br />
remembrance of sacrifice in war,<br />
with Armistice Day receiving<br />
only limited attention.<br />
However, the building of the<br />
new memorial hall in the centennial<br />
year of the end of World<br />
War 1 is proof of the continued<br />
commitment of the people of<br />
the district in remembering the<br />
sacrifice of the citizen-soldiers<br />
and nurses who went to war to<br />
defend the nation’s interests.<br />
The building of a new hall at<br />
Lakeside to replace the old hall<br />
that had been demolished after<br />
suffering significant damage<br />
from the September 4, 2010,<br />
earthquake was contentious.<br />
Some questioned the rationale<br />
of building a new hall in an<br />
area of low population density<br />
when it would be better suited in<br />
Leeston.<br />
However, the heritage significance<br />
of the old hall was<br />
recognised by the district council’s<br />
decision to build a modern<br />
replacement to preserve its commemorative<br />
function.<br />
What made the original hall<br />
so significant was that it was<br />
one of the first, if not the first,<br />
Great War memorials built in<br />
Canterbury.<br />
It had a dual function of not<br />
only being a memorial to those<br />
from the district who served<br />
overseas during World War<br />
1, but also served a practical<br />
purpose in providing a muchneeded<br />
community meeting<br />
place.<br />
According to a report marking<br />
the opening of the memorial<br />
hall published in the Ellesmere<br />
Guardian on August 4, 1917, the<br />
residents of Lakeside had begun<br />
raising funds for a community<br />
hall in 1914, but it was agreed<br />
to put the project on hold at the<br />
Our Great<br />
history<br />
WITH WAYNE STACK<br />
outbreak of war later that year.<br />
The war went on longer than<br />
expected and the need for a<br />
hall became acute due to the<br />
increased number of community<br />
functions held to support the<br />
war effort.<br />
Raising sufficient funds to<br />
build the hall had been an<br />
obstacle in the past, but like the<br />
funding for the new hall in <strong>2018</strong>,<br />
the project was realised through<br />
community collaboration.<br />
In 1916 ‘a generous and wellknown<br />
local lady,’ who remained<br />
anonymous, had offered to fund<br />
free of interest the amount of<br />
money required over and above<br />
the amount subscribed by residents.<br />
And it was at her suggestion<br />
that a brick building be put up<br />
and dedicated to the memory<br />
of the Lakeside soldiers serving<br />
overseas in the war.<br />
By this time the New Zealand<br />
Expeditionary Force had suffered<br />
heavy casualties fighting at<br />
Gallipoli, on the Western Front,<br />
and in Egypt and Palestine; with<br />
a number of volunteers from<br />
Lakeside among them.<br />
The building of the original<br />
hall also came about through<br />
further generosity of John<br />
McLachlan, a local farmer who<br />
had donated land for the hall<br />
to be built on adjacent to Hart’s<br />
Creek near Creamery Corner.<br />
Many residents were also<br />
actively involved in the project<br />
by providing free cartage of<br />
building materials and providing<br />
furnishings, while a Mr K. Patterson<br />
presented a large wooden<br />
roll of honour which hung in the<br />
hall.<br />
This originally recorded those<br />
soldiers from the district who<br />
served in both the Great War<br />
and the Boer War, with names of<br />
those locals who had served in<br />
World War 2 being added later.<br />
The tender for building the hall<br />
was awarded to Messrs Paynter<br />
and Hamilton from Christchurch<br />
at a price of £699, of which<br />
£300 was raised by public<br />
subscription, mostly by Lakeside<br />
residents.<br />

historical significance<br />
Once built, the main room of<br />
the hall measured 50ft by 31ft,<br />
with a high stud. There was a 6ft<br />
vestibule at the front entrance, on<br />
each side of which was a ‘retiring<br />
room’ measuring 10ft by 9ft.<br />
The main room included a<br />
stage measuring 21ft by 9ft and<br />
there was a large supper room at<br />
the back, running the full width<br />
of the hall, 31ft by 10ft deep.<br />
The hall was reported as having<br />
‘an attractive front elevation,<br />
two large folding entrance doors,<br />
with a neat window either side’<br />
with the words Soldiers Memorial<br />
Hall appearing in large letters<br />
above the entrance.<br />
The hall was officially<br />
opened by the MP for<br />
Ellesmere, Colonel<br />
Heaton Rhodes, on<br />
August 3, 1917.<br />
This was a very<br />
critical time for New<br />
Zealand during World<br />
War 1.<br />
The NZ Division<br />
had suffered several<br />
thousand casualties on<br />
the Western Front in<br />
gaining success in the<br />
battle of Messines in<br />
June that year, which<br />
was followed by the<br />
disaster at<br />
Passchendaele on October 12,<br />
where the division lost 2861<br />
HONOURED:<br />
Lance Corporal<br />
Hersey Rapley,<br />
of Leeston, was<br />
killed in the battle<br />
of Messines<br />
while serving in<br />
the Canterbury<br />
Infantry Regiment.<br />
COMMUNITY: The original Lakeside Soldiers’ Memorial Hall.<br />
casualties (including 957 killed in<br />
action) in a single day.<br />
Such loss of life in a military<br />
event remains unprecedented in<br />
New Zealand history<br />
and the thought of<br />
not returning home<br />
weighed heavily on<br />
those local young<br />
men who travelled to<br />
Europe and the Middle<br />
East as reinforcements.<br />
An example is that<br />
of Trooper Clement<br />
McLachlan of the<br />
Canterbury Mounted<br />
Rifles who later transferred<br />
into the NZ<br />
Rifle Brigade, serving<br />
on the Western Front.<br />
After receiving a<br />
letter from his sister, Margaretta<br />
Lochhead, giving him an update<br />
on the progress of the building<br />
of the hall, he replied in a letter<br />
home expressing his hope that<br />
there would not be too many<br />
names on the roll of honour.<br />
Sadly, he was one of those who<br />
did not return, dying of wounds<br />
in France in April 1918.<br />
The McLachlan family connection<br />
with the hall remains with<br />
Clement’s great-great nephew,<br />
Hamish McLachlan, being the project<br />
architect of the new memorial<br />
hall, while working for Architecture<br />
Workshop in Wellington.<br />
Other local family connections<br />
to those named on the roll of<br />
honour are still prevalent in the<br />
district, such as the Lambies,<br />
Taiaroas, Thians and Pattersons.<br />
When opening the original<br />
hall, Rhodes commented that<br />
Lakeside was a rich fertile<br />
district, that he was confident<br />
the population would greatly increase<br />
in the future and that the<br />
MEANINGFUL: The roll of honour that will again hang in the<br />
new Lakeside Soldiers Memorial Hall.<br />
Creamery Corner would some<br />
day become an important and<br />
busy centre.<br />
While this did not come to<br />
fruition, his prediction that the<br />
hall would prove very useful to<br />
the district in many ways, while<br />
also being a permanent memorial<br />
to those from Lakeside who<br />
served in the war, certainly did.<br />
The original Soldiers Memorial<br />
Hall became the heart of the<br />
Lakeside community, providing a<br />
sense of connection to the place.<br />
Apart from being a venue for<br />
annual Anzac Day services, for<br />
93 years the hall catered for lifeevent<br />
markers that are central to<br />
small communities – weddings,<br />
funerals, significant birthday<br />
parties, elections, sporting and<br />
cultural group meetings.<br />
The new modern facility will<br />
continue to fulfil these functions<br />
for the years ahead.<br />
Following the Armistice Day<br />
commemoration, the hall will be<br />
open for viewing, although the<br />
official opening will not occur<br />
until early 2019.<br />

Time for young bird breeders to step up<br />
• By David Hill<br />
FILM STAR Doug Bain is keen<br />
for the next generation to step<br />
up.<br />
The Pecking Order star<br />
planned to step down as poultry<br />
convener after the New Zealand<br />
Agricultural Show on <strong>November</strong><br />
14-16, after bowing out from the<br />
equivalent role at the <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
Spring Show last month.<br />
The Dunsandel farmer was<br />
presented with the Ellesmere<br />
A&P Association’s personality<br />
of the show trophy in recognition<br />
of decades of service and<br />
his newfound celebrity status,<br />
nearly 18 months on from the<br />
release of Pecking Order.<br />
He was the second chook<br />
breeder to win the trophy after<br />
former poultry convener Ted<br />
Slattery won the inaugural event<br />
in 1998.<br />
Mr Bain was the Christchurch<br />
Poultry, Pigeon and Bantam<br />
Club president during the filming,<br />
before being unceremoniously<br />
ousted in a coup.<br />
The film told the story of<br />
members of the Christchurch<br />
club as they prepared for the<br />
2015 national show, which was<br />
held in Oamaru.<br />
“I walk down the street in<br />
Leeston and Christchurch and<br />
people will still come up and<br />
congratulate me.<br />
“Of course, one scene is never<br />
forgotten.’’<br />
He said the film had given<br />
poultry shows throughout the<br />
South Island a major boost.<br />
“After the film came, Brian<br />
Glassey and I, as two of the<br />
stars, were both at the show in<br />
Dunedin and people were queuing<br />
up to congratulate us and<br />
take photos.’’<br />
However, he acknowledged<br />
that fame had taken a bit of getting<br />
used to.<br />
“I’m a boy from out in the<br />
tussocks and I don’t like a lot of<br />
attention.’’<br />
The <strong>Selwyn</strong> show featured in<br />
Pecking Order, the 2014 show at<br />
the beginning of the film and<br />
the 2015 show at the end.<br />
While the main events for<br />
chook breeders were the various<br />
poultry shows held during the<br />
winter months, Mr Bain said<br />

He said he was keen to<br />
encourage the next generation,<br />
including 10-year-old Shaun<br />
Prangley, of Dunsandel, who<br />
won the W. L. Gobbe Cup for<br />
best junior (under-16) at the<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> show, after acquiring<br />
some white leghorn bantams<br />
from Mr Bain earlier this year.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
Church bell<br />
still missing<br />
• By Louis Day<br />
ST MARY’S churchgoers<br />
in Springston were left<br />
dumbfounded after they found<br />
their bell had been stolen.<br />
Spokesman Neville Benny said<br />
the 150-year-old cast iron bell was<br />
likely to have been stolen between<br />
late September and early October.<br />
“We had our last church service<br />
on the fourth Sunday of September<br />
and we weren’t back there<br />
until October 14.”<br />
Mr Benny said no one could<br />
believe it until they saw the bell<br />
had gone.<br />
“The chap that usually rings<br />
the bell came in and said the bell<br />
was gone, so we all walked out<br />
the door and we were all dumbfounded<br />
really.”<br />
Mr Benny suspected it was Lincoln<br />
University students ahead of<br />
the infamous garden party.<br />
“If it was college students, they<br />
could probably drop it off back<br />
outside the door no questions<br />
asked.”<br />
Mr Benny estimated that the<br />
bell would cost at least $1000 to<br />
replace.<br />
Mr Benny said he had notified<br />
the police as well as scrap metal<br />
dealers across the country but had<br />
not heard anything.<br />

Get involved in the community<br />
Rolleston<br />
Reserve<br />
Management<br />
Committee<br />
chairman<br />
Jens<br />
Christensen<br />
writes about<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong>’s<br />
growing population and<br />
why residents should<br />
get involved in their<br />
communities<br />
IN 1989 the Springs, Ellesmere,<br />
Malvern and part of the<br />
Paparua councils amalgamated<br />
to become the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District<br />
Council.<br />
At the time, these councils<br />
were very much made up of<br />
rural people and tight-knit<br />
communities. Volunteering<br />
in the community for the<br />
community came naturally<br />
back then whether it was for<br />
the school, play centre, Plunket,<br />
sports, hall, reserve, township<br />
committee or residents’<br />
association.<br />
But things are changing and<br />
previously rural townships like<br />
Rolleston, Lincoln, Prebbleton<br />
and even Darfield are expanding<br />
rapidly and becoming in their<br />
own right thriving urban<br />
communities.<br />
Rolleston, which had one<br />
school in 1989, now has six<br />
and Lincoln’s third is now<br />
under way. Committees and<br />
meetings are struggling to get<br />
buy-in across the district, and<br />
the situation is far worse in the<br />
larger growing townships where<br />
public attendance at meetings is<br />
becoming smaller as well.<br />
Apart from Malvern, which<br />
has a community board,<br />
the other three wards are<br />
represented by township<br />
committees. These township<br />
committees are the interface<br />
IDEAS: Jens Christensen is<br />
encouraging residents to<br />
make a difference by going<br />
along to public meetings in<br />
their communities. <br />
between the community and<br />
the district council and take any<br />
concerns or projects up with the<br />
council.<br />
They are an important part<br />
of democracy and they need<br />
the support of the community<br />
they represent. Malvern has<br />
township, hall and reserve<br />
committees, too, but it is the<br />
community board there that<br />
represents the community’s<br />
issues to the council.<br />
Likewise, all the townships<br />
across <strong>Selwyn</strong> have reserve<br />
or domain committees and<br />
hall and community centre<br />
committees to run the operation<br />
of these facilities.<br />
In many cases, these<br />
management committees<br />
are elected at the triennium<br />
elections every three years,<br />
and are committees of the<br />
council which are delegated the<br />
management of these facilities.<br />
For the record and from<br />
the council’s website, there<br />
are 24 township residents or<br />
community associations, 22<br />
hall or community centre<br />
committees and 18 reserve<br />
committees or domain boards<br />
governing their community’s<br />
facilities.<br />
In most cases, the township<br />
committees/community<br />
associations administer the<br />
township grants received from<br />
the council based on population<br />
numbers and, in the larger<br />
townships, these grants are<br />
substantial.<br />
So when you are reading the<br />
council’s notice in the local<br />
newspapers and see a township,<br />
hall/community centre or<br />
reserve/domain management<br />
meeting is happening in your<br />
area – come along, get involved,<br />
and make a difference in your<br />
community please.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
Former mayor Bill Woods<br />
responds to Weedons<br />
Residents’ Association<br />
secretary Gary Doyle’s<br />
article on <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s<br />
population increase and<br />
what it means for residents<br />
I agree with the comments<br />
of Gary Doyle regarding the<br />
pressures on facilities resulting<br />
from growth of the district.<br />
But there is<br />
more to it than<br />
portrayed by<br />
Gary due to the<br />
growth being<br />
predominately<br />
in one part of<br />
the district. The<br />
way our present<br />
council views this situation is that<br />
the growth thereby the demand is<br />
universal throughout the district<br />
which it is definitely not.<br />
If there is pressure on facilities,<br />
the cost related to that pressure<br />
should be borne by those that<br />
created and need the increased<br />
demand.<br />
This is usually done by a user<br />
pays type of money collection<br />
plus with an increase in demand<br />
there is a related growth in<br />
rateable properties.<br />
The funding for these facilities<br />
should be kept in relation to the<br />
increased funding that is relative<br />
to the population growth instead<br />
of loading a considerable burden<br />
on those who do not increase the<br />
demand or receive the benefit.<br />

Adequate police staffing levels vital<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> MP Amy Adams<br />
writes about the recent<br />
homicide in the district and<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong>’s high crash rate<br />
I AM SURE that many <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
residents would have been<br />
shocked by the recent homicide<br />
in the district and the reported<br />
involvement of gang members in<br />
this incident.<br />
While most <strong>Selwyn</strong> residents<br />
are wonderful, law-abiding citizens,<br />
this event is a reminder that<br />
no community is immune from<br />
the influence of gang activity and<br />
criminal behaviour.<br />
For this reason, it is vital<br />
that our local police have the<br />
resources they need to deal with<br />
incidents and help prevent crime<br />
in our communities.<br />
Unfortunately, road safety<br />
remains a major issue in our district<br />
that takes up a considerable<br />
amount of police attention.<br />
As I mentioned in a column<br />
in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> earlier this<br />
year, <strong>Selwyn</strong> has an unacceptably<br />
high rate of crashes, particularly<br />
at intersections. Anything that<br />
we can do to reduce both our<br />
local and our national crash rate,<br />
should be encouraged.<br />
One way of approaching the<br />
problem is to look at the reasons<br />
for fatal crashes and see what we<br />
ROAD SAFETY: <strong>Selwyn</strong> MP Amy Adams says the district has<br />
an “unacceptably high rate of crashes” and anything which can<br />
reduce them should be encouraged. <br />
can do to minimise or eliminate<br />
the risks.<br />
Last year, 79 fatal crashes<br />
involved a driver with drugs in<br />
their system, compared with<br />
70 involving an intoxicated<br />
driver. These figures come from<br />
testing that is done by authorities<br />
following a fatal crash and<br />
show that we need to get more<br />
proactive in preventing people<br />
from driving while under the<br />
influence of drugs.<br />
Currently, under the Land<br />
Transport Act, drug driving is<br />
measured by an impairment test<br />
that involves an eye assessment<br />
and requesting a driver walk<br />
heel-to-toe in a straight line. The<br />
current method has some obvious<br />
limitations.<br />
Advances in drug testing technology<br />
over recent years including<br />
saliva and sweat tests have<br />
made roadside testing for drugs<br />
much more practical. Based on<br />
this, my colleague Wairarapa<br />
MP Alastair Scott submitted<br />
Amy Adams<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> MP<br />
HOMICIDE: The recent death of a man on a road near Charing<br />
Cross has shocked some <strong>Selwyn</strong> residents.<br />
a member’s Bill which would<br />
have allowed police officers to<br />
perform roadside drug testing on<br />
any driver who they suspected<br />
was driving under the influence<br />
of drugs.<br />
Disappointingly, all three parties<br />
in the Coalition Government<br />
voted against this member’s Bill,<br />
in spite of the Minister of Police<br />
Stuart Nash previously acknowledging<br />
the need to roll out new<br />
technology to combat the<br />
danger posed by drugged<br />
drivers.<br />
The voting down of a<br />
member’s Bill which would<br />
have kept our roads safer and<br />
saved lives is incomprehensible.<br />
If the Government saw some<br />
way to improve the Bill the least<br />
they could have done was to<br />
send it to select committee for<br />
consideration and feedback.<br />

Thorough process to select leaders at schools<br />
• By Emily O’Connell and Georgia<br />
O’Connor-Harding<br />
STUDENTS FROM around the<br />
district are putting their best foot<br />
forward in a bid to be named as a<br />
school leader next year.<br />
Lincoln High School has completed<br />
a two-month process of<br />
deciding its 2019 head students.<br />
It started with students who<br />
were interested, submitting a CV,<br />
cover letter and teacher referee<br />
report.<br />
After a question and answer<br />
session with the current head<br />
students, applicants had a 5min<br />
interview with principal Kathy<br />
Paterson and assistant principal<br />
Kylie Wissel.<br />
This helped form the shortlist<br />
of about eight to 10 students.<br />
Their first task was to submit a<br />
poster to the office so it could be<br />
placed around the school.<br />
The shortlisted students then<br />
attended a two-hour “head 2<br />
head” activity session, working<br />
on problem-solving and communication<br />
skills.<br />
About a week later the students<br />
presented a 1min speech to the<br />
school. After this, year 9 to 12<br />
students voted for their preferred<br />
leaders. Staff also got a chance to<br />
vote.<br />
Last term, students helped out<br />
at the Delta Community Support<br />
Trust’s disco night. The trust<br />
provides activities and a support<br />
network for people who are<br />
experiencing hardship, disadvantage<br />
and disability.<br />
The final stage of the process<br />
was a 20min formal interview<br />
with Mrs Paterson and Mrs<br />
Wissel.<br />
Miki Tiltman and Coven<br />
Mouat have been named as the<br />
school’s head students for next<br />
year, along with Maria Mendoza<br />
Nieto and Dylan Booysens who<br />
will be the deputy head students.<br />
Mrs Wissel said the school’s<br />
selection process provides a “really<br />
good insight into what areas<br />
of strengths and weaknesses they<br />
all have.”<br />
“I think back to their first<br />
interview when they were nervous<br />
and unsure to becoming<br />
wonderfully confident young<br />
people,” she said.<br />
Rolleston College’s leadership<br />
is unique as it offers opportunities<br />
from year 9.<br />
As it’s a new school it currently<br />
only has year 9 and 10 students.<br />
Students are able to apply for<br />
roles and go through a selection<br />
process in their whanau.<br />
They also have the opportunity<br />
to attend leadership classes,<br />
conferences and be part of action<br />
groups when the need arises.<br />
PROCESS:<br />
Lincoln<br />
High<br />
School<br />
principal<br />
Kathy<br />
Paterson<br />
with the<br />
shortlisted<br />
head<br />
students<br />
for next<br />
year as<br />
well as<br />
some of<br />
its current<br />
head<br />
students. <br />
SCHOOLS<br />
The school’s distributed leadership<br />
model means leaders can<br />
take the lead when they are ready<br />
for the challenge.<br />
Ellesmere College has a fourstage<br />
process in choosing its<br />
head students.<br />
Students have to apply in writing<br />
to indicate their interest by<br />
October 15.<br />
They are then invited to<br />
present a short speech to their<br />
year 12 peers on why they would<br />
make a good school leader.<br />
Following the speech, students<br />
are then ranked in order of preference<br />
by both staff and<br />
their fellow year 12 students to<br />
get an indication of who should<br />
be shortlisted for the positions.<br />
The shortlist usually ranges<br />
from seven to 10 students.<br />
The students are then interviewed<br />
by the school’s senior<br />
leadership team and a kaitiaki<br />
before recommendations are<br />
made to the principal who makes<br />
the final decision.<br />
Darfield High School’s selection<br />
process is just as extensive<br />
with applications for the leadership<br />
roles closing and the initial<br />
round of interviews being conducted<br />
in August.<br />
Successful students were then<br />
invited to attend a leadership<br />
camp last month at the Environmental<br />
Education Centre of New<br />
Zealand in Craigieburn.<br />
At the camp head student job<br />
descriptions are shared before<br />
each student makes a presentation<br />
at the camp on their vision<br />
for the position and how they<br />
will achieve this.<br />
A second round of<br />
interviews with head student<br />
applications are held before an<br />
announcement and presentation<br />
is made at the school’s senior<br />
prize-giving on December 3.<br />

With a stressed Santa,<br />
overworked elves and<br />
children complaining they<br />
never see their father,<br />
Santa has a lot to deal with.<br />
The performance was in<br />

HISTORY: Kate Foster, Colin Wilson and Margaret Copland at the Hororata Parish<br />
Spring Fair. <br />
Suffrage 125th anniversary<br />
celebrated at Hororata fair<br />
ABOUT 1500 people attended the<br />
Hororata Parish Spring Fair.<br />
The community day, held at Hororata<br />
Domain on Labour Day, celebrated the<br />
area’s connection to a prominent moment<br />
in history – 125 years since New Zealand<br />
women achieved voting parity.<br />
Well-known storyteller Margaret<br />
Copland, along with historians Colin<br />
Wilson and Kate Foster, presented Sir<br />
John Hall’s story.<br />
Sir John is buried at St John Cemetery<br />
in Hororata. His last act before retiring<br />
from Parliament was to pilot the women’s<br />
right to vote Electoral Bill in 1893.<br />
The presentation included sharing the<br />
speech he read in Parliament supporting<br />
the Bill.<br />
Visitors to the fair were able to learn<br />
more about the suffrage movement with<br />
a display and movie put together by the<br />
Homebush Stables Historical Society.<br />
“It was great to be part of the Beca<br />
A GROUP of mothers passionate about<br />
bringing a toy library to Rolleston are<br />
making progress towards getting the<br />
project off the ground – but could do with<br />
a little help.<br />
The Rolleston Toy Library project is the<br />
initiative of Fiona Morland who moved to<br />
Rolleston with her family in October last<br />
year.<br />
“With so many young families in<br />
Rolleston I thought we should set one up,”<br />
Mrs Morland said.<br />
Beginning with a general call for<br />
expressions of interest on the Rolleston<br />
Community Facebook page, Mrs Morland<br />
soon discovered there was a strong desire<br />
within the community for a facility.<br />
She set about gathering a small group<br />
of volunteers to figure out what needed<br />
to be done to make it happen. The group<br />
has formed a committee and has become<br />
an official incorporated society. Students<br />
from Rolleston College are helping the<br />
committee with a logo design.<br />
The biggest hurdle has been finding<br />
suitable premises. The group is welcoming<br />
Heritage Week and the Suffrage 125<br />
celebrations, it added a new twist to the<br />
fair and showcased our community,” fair<br />
committee chairwoman Lucy Cookson<br />
said.<br />
The country auction was again a feature<br />
of the event. Visitors showed off their<br />
No 8 wire ingenuity in the Agri-Art<br />
competition, creating garden art.<br />
“While the spring fair is the major<br />
fundraiser for the Hororata Parish each<br />
year, more importantly, it is a wonderful<br />
day for our community to come together<br />
and welcome others to enjoy a day in the<br />
country,” Mrs Cookson said.<br />
She said there were numerous other<br />
community groups and businesses with<br />
stalls.<br />
“As always, it takes a big team to<br />
make these events happen. Thank you<br />
to all the committee, stall-holders,<br />
performers and the businesses and<br />
individuals who supported the event.”<br />
Bid for Rolleston Toy<br />
Library gains support<br />
any offers – from potential shared facilities<br />
to sheds, containers or garages.<br />
The feasibility of an online toy library is<br />
also being investigated as an option.<br />
The goal is to have a fully functioning<br />
toy library that provides a collection of<br />
safe, high-quality toys for children aged<br />
up to six-years-old. The next focus for<br />
the group is a fundraising campaign to<br />
help secure a space and fit it out with the<br />
essentials. There are also plans to make<br />
applications for community grants.<br />
•The committee will hold a toy<br />
drive and car boot sale at Rolleston<br />
College from 10am-1pm on<br />

• By David Hill<br />
A LEADING Dunsandel farming couple<br />
have been nominated in the first Primary<br />
Industries Good Employer Awards.<br />
Sharemilkers Michael and Susie<br />
Woodward have been nominated in the<br />
minister’s award category, announced by<br />
Agriculture Minister Damien O’Connor.<br />
Mr Woodward is the Federated Farmers<br />
North Canterbury dairy chairman and a<br />
Central Rural Life columnist.<br />
“It’s a good surprise. We had seen it<br />
advertised and we<br />
were approached<br />
by someone<br />
who wanted to<br />
nominate us,” Mr<br />
Woodward said.<br />
“It wasn’t<br />
anybody from<br />
within our team,<br />
so we are stoked<br />
that somebody<br />
thought we were<br />
worthy to be put<br />
forward.”<br />
He said he<br />
understood the<br />
nomination<br />
recognised the<br />
value they place on their employees in<br />
supporting them “on their journey” and<br />
helping them to meet their goals.<br />
While the Woodwards employed the<br />
best candidates, Mr Woodward said<br />
they were keen to encourage young New<br />
Zealanders to work in the primary sector<br />
and had recently hosted a Christchurch<br />
school group on their farm.<br />
“We’ve got three Kiwis so that’s half<br />
of our staff. We want to have more<br />
Kiwis working in the industry, so it’s<br />
Lincoln Uni international<br />
students share experiences<br />
LINCOLN UNIVERSITY international<br />
postgraduate students and Lincoln<br />
Rotarians have got together to share their<br />
experiences and ideas.<br />
The annual Rotary Club of Lincoln<br />
event has been an ongoing project for<br />
more than a decade, and it’s proven to be<br />
a great way to welcome young overseas<br />
scholars to the community.<br />
Lincoln is a multi-cultural township and<br />
this is reflected in the club membership,<br />
with 10 of the 43 Lincoln Rotary members<br />
originally from another country.<br />
The club invited 15 postgraduate<br />
students and their partners from China,<br />
India, Iran, Lebanon, Pakistan, Romania,<br />
Sri Lanka, Thailand, Vietnam, Zimbabwe,<br />
Indonesia, Myanmar, Morocco and the<br />
Philippines.<br />
“This was an excellent opportunity for<br />
us to learn about different cultures and<br />

Kiwis working in the<br />
industry.<br />
Dunsandel farmers up<br />
for top employer award<br />
important that they feel valued and have<br />
opportunities to advance.’’<br />
He said the biggest barrier to employing<br />
young New Zealanders was “attitude”<br />
which was largely due to the ongoing<br />
perception that agriculture was a<br />
career for those who struggled<br />
academically.<br />
‘’We need people who are at the top<br />
of their game in our industry. So it’s a<br />
challenge for us of how can we produce<br />
employees who get up each day and say<br />
‘how can I make this job better?’ We still<br />
need the<br />
people [who]<br />
are good<br />
with their<br />
hands as<br />
well.’’<br />
Mr<br />
O’Connor<br />
said good<br />
staff are the<br />
foundation<br />
of all good<br />
businesses.<br />
“I’ve met<br />
exceptional<br />
employers<br />
Susie and Michael Woodward<br />
and workers<br />
across the<br />
sector and one particular message has<br />
stayed with me: First we look after the<br />
people, then they’ll look after the animals,<br />
and everything else will follow.”<br />
The Woodwards’ employer Theland<br />
Farm Group, which owns 26 farms<br />
throughout New Zealand, has also<br />
been nominated, with chief executive<br />
Justine Kidd a finalist in the employee<br />
development category.<br />
The winners will be announced at<br />
Parliament in Wellington on <strong>November</strong> 27.<br />
students who also felt they are so welcome<br />
in New Zealand,” programme coordinators<br />
Ravi Gooneratne and Farhad<br />
Dastgheib said.<br />
The students came from different<br />
faculties of Lincoln University and each<br />
gave a 2min talk about their country,<br />
culture and the highlights of their<br />
research.<br />
This allowed club members to become<br />
aware of some of the current research<br />
projects conducted at the university.<br />
The event was supported by the<br />
Foundation and International Committee.<br />

A FLY SPECIES commonly seen about<br />
the house at the moment is the garden<br />
soldier fly exaireta spinigera.<br />
It is a native of Australia but was<br />
introduced into New Zealand around<br />
1900. It has also found a home in Hawaii<br />
and British Columbia.<br />
SELWYN residents took the opportunity<br />
to let the district council know what they<br />
thought of the District Plan review so far.<br />
‘Are we on the right track?’ was the<br />
theme of the initial public consultation<br />
on a number of key draft changes for the<br />
future District Plan.<br />
Consultation took place between<br />
August 16 and October 8, except for the<br />
cultural landscapes topic.<br />
More than 270 online surveys were<br />
submitted. The topics that received the<br />
highest numbers of surveys were family<br />
flats, night glow, sites and areas of cultural<br />
significance, housing development in residential<br />
zones and home-based business.<br />
The feedback is now being considered and<br />
will inform the drafting of detailed policies<br />
and rules for the proposed District<br />
Plan.<br />
Adults are 14mm long and have a dark<br />
body with black and white striped legs.<br />
The adult flies feed on pollen and nectar,<br />
whereas the larvae are decomposers and<br />
are often found in composts or decaying<br />
vegetation.<br />
Larvae are flattened, strongly<br />
segmented and extremely robust. They<br />
are harmless to humans but are extremely<br />
beneficial in decomposing vegetative<br />
matter efficiently into rich compost.<br />
Other species of soldier flies have<br />
been cultured by companies overseas to<br />
produce millions of larvae per day as an<br />
example of sustainable bio-conversion.<br />
One kilogram of the black soldier fly<br />
larvae can consume 2kg of biowaste in<br />
less than four hours.<br />
These larvae are one of the richest<br />
sources of protein on earth and are fed to<br />
poultry or fish. These flies could be the<br />
answer to a more sustainable future.<br />

operational by March 2022, subject to any<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> District Council<br />
WWI Armistice Centennial<br />
Commemorations<br />
Please join us on Sunday 11 <strong>November</strong> this year, to mark the<br />
centenary of the armistice that ended the First World War in<br />
1918. On that day 100 years ago, after four years of brutal conflict,<br />
war finally gave way to peace.<br />
Importance of Armistice<br />
The commemoration of the centenary of Armistice Day to be held at the new<br />
Lakeside Soldiers Memorial Hall on Sunday 11 <strong>November</strong> this year has a greater<br />
historical significance for the <strong>Selwyn</strong> district than most people realise. Traditionally in<br />
New Zealand and Australia, Anzac Day has provided the main focus for remembrance<br />
of sacrifice in war, with Armistice Day receiving only limited attention. However,<br />
the building of the new memorial hall in the centennial year of the end of the First<br />
World War is proof of the continued commitment of the people of the district in<br />
remembering the sacrifice of the citizen-soldiers and nurses who went to war to defend<br />
the nation’s interests.<br />

Bottom left: The new hall under<br />
construction in October <strong>2018</strong><br />
Lakeside Soldiers Memorial Hall replaces the old hall which was built during WW1.<br />
The original hall was built on Harts Road in 1917 as a memorial to soldiers from the<br />
local community. It remained in regular use until the earthquakes of 2010–2011, which<br />
significantly weakened the structure, and it was demolished.<br />
The new $1.6 million Lakeside Soldiers Memorial Hall, expected to be completed<br />
in late <strong>November</strong>, is a large hall with adjoining courtyard space which can<br />
accommodate traditional community activities, but also be able to host special<br />
events, functions and weddings.<br />

As part of WW1 Centenary and Armistice<br />
commemorations, the Council is installing<br />
feature lighting at war memorial sites in townships<br />
across <strong>Selwyn</strong>.<br />
The lights provide for white or coloured lighting<br />
of the memorials, depending on the wishes of the<br />
community. As well as highlighting the memorials,<br />
the lights also allow the sites to support other<br />
important community events and commemorations.<br />
To date lighting has been installed at:<br />
∙ Tai Tapu (Rhodes<br />
Park Domain Gates of<br />
Remembrance)<br />
∙ Leeston Cenotaph<br />
∙ Springston War<br />

∙ Darfield War Memorial<br />
∙ Dunsandel War<br />

the district in the future.<br />

“If you are interested in helping support other young people and want to be a part of making cool<br />
things happen you should put your name forward for consideration.”<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> Carseat Champions seeking new volunteers<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> Carseat Champions are a group of volunteers actively making a difference to our children’s<br />
safety when in a motor vehicle, and they have positions available to be filled.<br />
Volunteers are given training to be registered New Zealand Transport Agency Child Restraint<br />
Technicians and are equipped with the skills to install child restraints from baby capsules through to<br />
older children’s booster seats.<br />
Anna Nurse of Leeston, trained as a technician four years ago she has several reasons for volunteering.<br />
“This was something I could fit in around my family and work life. I have taken great pride over the years<br />
in being able to help caregivers keep their little ones safe,” she says.<br />
“It’s not just putting car seats in – each install is a lesson<br />
and I know that mini lesson is going to be shared with<br />
their friends and bit by bit the ripple effect of what we are<br />
doing is changing the culture around car seat safety”<br />
As our community grows with young families, demand for<br />
the service is growing to the point where more volunteers<br />
are needed to become child restraint technicians.<br />
Volunteers are involved in monthly car seat clinics as<br />
well as being available for one off checks when personal<br />
commitments allow.<br />
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer in your<br />
community please contact Stephanie Hautler<br />
roadsafety@selwyn.govt.nz for more information.<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> has initial say on future<br />
District Plan<br />
Many <strong>Selwyn</strong> residents took the opportunity to let us know what<br />
they thought of the review of the current District Plan so far.<br />
Are we on the right track? was the theme of the initial public<br />
consultation on a number of key draft changes for the future<br />
District Plan, which took place between 16 August and 8 October<br />
<strong>2018</strong> (except for cultural landscapes topic which was open for<br />
consultation until 23 October).<br />
Environmental Services Manager Tim Harris says it’s important to<br />
get public feedback at an early stage of the review.<br />
“We are especially pleased to see submissions from those directly<br />
affected, which will help inform the potential shape and direction<br />
of the future District Plan before the detailed proposed rules and<br />
policies are drafted.”<br />
A total of 272 online surveys were submitted and the topics that<br />
received the highest numbers of responses were family flats, night<br />
glow, sites and areas of cultural significance, housing development<br />
in residential zones, and home-based business.<br />
While most people submitted their feedback via our engagement<br />
hub Your Say <strong>Selwyn</strong>, some had their say via email, phone calls<br />
or at one of the drop-in sessions that the Council held across the<br />
district. The feedback came from a broad cross-section of the<br />
district’s population and from every part of the district.<br />
In total our consultation site received over 5,400 views from people<br />
who were interested to find out more about the District Plan Review.<br />
In total our consultation site received over 5,400 views from<br />
people who were interested to find out more about the District<br />
Plan Review. To find out more about how people engaged in the<br />
initial public consultation check out the full engagement report at<br />
selwyn.govt.nz/districtplanreview.<br />
What happens next?<br />
Feedback is now being considered and will inform the drafting<br />
of detailed policies and rules for the Proposed District Plan.<br />
It’s expected that the Proposed District Plan will be notified in<br />
early 2020 for formal public consultation. The longer timeframe<br />
is due to the local government elections at the end of 2019 and<br />
ensuring the newly-elected Council endorses the Proposed<br />
District Plan before it is notified. After this, submitters will<br />
have an opportunity to speak to their submission at a formal<br />
hearing. Following the hearing, the Hearing Panel will make<br />
recommendations on proposed amendments and the Council<br />
will then make final decisions. We expect the new District Plan<br />
to become largely operative by March 2022, subject to any<br />
Environment Court appeals.<br />

• By Jacob Page<br />
IT WAS a miserable Saturday<br />
for <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s premier cricket<br />
teams with all three suffering<br />
losses in the Canterbury<br />
Country one-day competition.<br />
Leeston-Southbridge,<br />
Weedons and Darfield were<br />
all defeated as Southbrook and<br />
Oxford went to the top of the<br />
table.<br />
Weedons suffered an<br />
embarrassing batting collapse<br />
on the road against Kaiapoi. The<br />
visitors restricted the hosts to<br />
69 all out inside 26 overs thanks<br />
largely to pace bowlers Frazer<br />
Austin 5/13 and Lachie Stove<br />
2/22. Weedons started well,<br />
reaching 18 without loss, but<br />
then lost eight wickets for 10<br />
runs to eventually be all out for<br />
52, falling 17 runs short.<br />
Leeston-Southbridge remain<br />
third on the table after a late<br />
collapse saw them lose by six<br />
runs to Sefton at Sefton Domain.<br />
Leeston-Southbridge appeared<br />
to be cruising to the target<br />
after a century stand between<br />
Tim Gruijters (62) and Liam<br />
O’Sullivan (37) had them at<br />
135/5 in pursuit of 142 for<br />
victory. Leeston-Southbridge<br />
then lost five wickets for no runs<br />
in 12 balls to lose the game.<br />
Darfield were no match for<br />
Oxford Rangiora at Oxford’s<br />
Pearson Park. After being<br />
sent in to bat on a green pitch,<br />
Darfield lost wickets regularly<br />
and found scoring difficult as<br />
they were bundled out for 69<br />
inside 35 overs.<br />
Darfield were unable to take<br />
early wickets and Oxford-<br />
Rangiora cruised to the target<br />
with eight wickets to spare.<br />
Cheviot were able to knock off<br />
competition leaders Southbrook<br />
thanks to a gritty 53 off 47<br />
balls from Jack Harris that saw<br />
them through to 190/8. Former<br />
Canterbury batsman Shanan<br />
Stewart made a brisk 44 and<br />
combined with Jack Boyle (24)<br />
in a partnership of 70.<br />
However, when both departed,<br />
the previously unbeaten<br />
Southbrook lost all momentum<br />
and eventually fell 18 runs short.<br />
On Saturday, Cheviot will host<br />
Weedons at Cheviot Domain;<br />
Southbrook will host Leeston-<br />
Southbridge at Southbrook<br />
Domain; Darfield will travel<br />
to Rangiora to play Sefton and<br />
Kaiapoi will hit the road to play<br />
Oxford.<br />

SELWYN TIMES<br />
Nuturing the young for 167 years<br />
The late US journalist<br />
Herb Caen wrote: “A city<br />
is not gauged by its length<br />
and width but by the<br />
broadness of its vision and<br />
the height of its dreams.”<br />
Caen might have been<br />
writing of Christchurch,<br />
as our visions for the new<br />
city pay homage to the<br />
dreams of the founders<br />
while unleashing our own<br />
dreams for a lofty future.<br />
At the heart of the<br />
city since those earliest<br />
aspirational days when the<br />
founders laid out the first<br />
roads and planted the first<br />
trees, St Michael’s has had<br />
at its heart the vision and<br />
dreams of our city and its<br />
children.<br />
Indeed, for 167 years,<br />
St Michael’s has been<br />
educating and nurturing<br />
the visionaries and<br />
dreamers who continue to<br />
shape our city and step<br />
out into the world beyond.<br />
For our young pupils have<br />
limitless potential to lead<br />
exciting and generous<br />
lives, and we have the<br />
responsibility to educate and inspire<br />
them, to encourage every child to<br />
flourish, in mind, body and spirit.<br />
St Michael’s is a prep school for girls<br />
and boys in Years 1-8. Our classes are<br />
small, fewer than 20 pupils, and our<br />
specialist teachers ensure each child is<br />
an individual, well known by staff and<br />
fellow pupils alike. For at the heart of<br />
St Michael’s are the essential values<br />
of Christian faith and good citizenship:<br />
respect, integrity, community, faith,<br />
hope and love.<br />
An independent school education<br />
at the primary level is a great gift<br />
and so traditional foundations in<br />
Counting the beat, an exploration of rhythm. Year 1<br />
and 2 Music.<br />
English and Maths are assured. This<br />
academic rigour then underpins our<br />
wider curriculums in Science, History,<br />
Geography and Spanish. IT literacy is<br />
taught, not assumed, and computer<br />
use is measured. We like teaching and<br />
talking to our pupils!<br />
A prep education offers balance.<br />
St Michael’s cultural and sports’<br />
programmes further develop each<br />
child’s foundation, as creativity and<br />
problem-solving come in many forms.<br />
Specialist art and music classes are<br />
enjoyed weekly. We have two choirs,<br />

A recent school survey<br />
indicates that many of<br />
our parents now work in<br />
the thriving city centre,<br />
or Lincoln and Riccarton<br />
Road hubs but they live<br />
city-wide. They comment<br />
on the benefit of knowing<br />
their children are in<br />
school nearby and the<br />
convenience of popping<br />
in for an hour to catch<br />
a performance or watch<br />
a race. With the new<br />
central exchange only a<br />
block away, a number of<br />
children arrive by bus from<br />
all corners of the city.<br />
Is your child one of 15<br />
or 50? Is their classroom a<br />
calm, productive learning<br />
space or is the noise and<br />
movement unceasing? How<br />
much of the teacher’s attention does<br />
your child actually receive? There is<br />
an alternative.<br />

Darfield High showjumper<br />
off to China after exams<br />
• By Jacob Page<br />
DARFIELD HIGH School<br />
student Katherine Hadler has<br />
exams and representing her<br />
country to ponder over the next<br />
couple of weeks.<br />
The 15-year-old will sit her<br />
final NCEA level one exam on<br />
<strong>November</strong> 20 – maths – and<br />
then jet her way to China to<br />
represent New Zealand for the<br />
first time. She is set to compete<br />
at an international under-18<br />
showjumping event.<br />
The Springston Pony Club<br />
member will compete against<br />
riders from China, Australia and<br />
Thailand in three gymkhana<br />
games and showjumping at a<br />
maximum height of 80cm.<br />
Katherine has been competing<br />
for the past 10 years. She got<br />
her first pony at age four named<br />
Charisma.<br />
”I just remember asking<br />
my parents for one since the<br />
age of two. I learnt how to do<br />
everything on that horse.”<br />
She still has two horses,<br />
including one she rides regularly<br />
called Pavlova.<br />
Katherine said she was thrilled<br />
to be representing her country<br />
for the first time.<br />
”It’s something I’ve wanted to<br />
achieve for quite a while and one<br />
day I would like to make it to an<br />
Olympics.”<br />

to China to compete at an international showjumping event on<br />

She said certain traits made for<br />
a good showjumping horse.<br />
”Personally, I like a horse with<br />
a bit of speed that can do tight<br />
corners to save time. You also<br />
want one you can communicate<br />
with so you can get clear jumps.”<br />
Katherine will ride local horses<br />
in China, which she said would<br />
be an added challenge.<br />
”I’ll have three days to try to<br />
bond with them which isn’t a lot<br />
of time.”<br />
She is not sure what the<br />
standard of competition will<br />
be, but said she is looking<br />
forward to the challenge of a new<br />
experience.<br />

DARFIELD lawn bowler<br />
Hazel Littlejohn has warmed<br />
up for the deaf bowls world<br />
championships in January by<br />
winning the national singles title<br />
in Blenheim.<br />
She was also named player<br />
of the year as she prepares<br />
for the world championships<br />
at Christchurch’s Elmwood<br />
Bowling Club which start on<br />
January 7.<br />
“It was a huge thrill to have<br />
that sort of a confidence boost<br />
so close to the world championships,”<br />
Littlejohn said.<br />
She is a fourth-year bowler<br />
and the tournament in January<br />
will be her first international<br />
call-up.<br />
Littlejohn said her<br />
performance at the national<br />
tournament, held over Labour<br />
weekend, could be attributed<br />
to regular training at the<br />
SPORTS<br />
CALL-UP: <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
bowlers Barbara<br />
Herrick (left), Hazel<br />
Littlejohn and<br />
Margaret Bailey<br />
will represent<br />
the New Zealand<br />
deaf lawn bowls<br />
team at the world<br />
championships in<br />
January.<br />
Littlejohn called up to bowl<br />
for NZ at world champs<br />
Dunsandel Bowling Club over<br />
winter with her coach Ashley<br />
Paul. “I didn’t think I had done<br />
enough to win initially, as it was<br />
a really tight competition,” she<br />
said.<br />
“We had quite a mild winter<br />
and having access to an artificial<br />
green meant I was able to<br />
practice three to four times a<br />
week instead of just once a week<br />
like in previous seasons.<br />
“My coach has worked hard<br />
with me during the winter and<br />
his dedication and willingness<br />
to give up his time has meant a<br />
lot to me.”<br />
West Melton bowler Barbara<br />
Herrick and Leeston’s Margaret<br />
Bailey will also be part of the<br />
New Zealand team in January.<br />
Teams from Wales, Scotland,<br />
South Africa, England,<br />
Australia, Northern Ireland and<br />
Ireland are all expected at the<br />
event.<br />

dISCOVER<br />
Recalling happy times in<br />
the old community hall<br />
In a few weeks, the new Community<br />
Centre in West Melton will be officially<br />
opened, ushering in a new era of<br />
community involvement and activities.<br />
In a few weeks, the new Community<br />
Centre in West Melton will be officially<br />
opened, ushering in a new era of<br />
community involvement and activities.<br />
It will be an asset to West Melton, but<br />
at the same time, there are many oldergeneration<br />
West Melton residents who have<br />
fond memories of the former community<br />
hall, which for decades was the centre of<br />
their social and community life.<br />
Built in 1892, it was originally a shearing<br />
and wool shed for the West Melton Sale<br />
Yard and Dip Company, then in 1925,<br />
with a drop-off in wool sales, the wool<br />
shed was converted into a social hall. Ten<br />
years later the shed burnt down, and a<br />
new community hall was built with funds<br />
raised by the community.<br />
In 1961, the shareholders of the West<br />
Melton Hall Company, formerly the West<br />
Melton Sale Yard and Dip Company, gifted<br />
the land to the County Council.<br />
Further fundraising in the early 1960s<br />
resulted in the addition of a kitchen,<br />
supper room, lounge and Plunket rooms to<br />
the hall.<br />
West Melton’s oldest original resident,<br />
John Pearce (87), recalls school concerts,<br />
wedding receptions, 21st birthdays, dances<br />
and balls being held in the hall. Soldiers<br />
were farewelled from the hall and then<br />
welcomed home there after the war.<br />
Another resident, Alistair Nicholl, recalls<br />
the “very successful” winter balls that were<br />
held in the hall in the late 1970s and early<br />
1980s, and which morphed into the “old<br />
farmers’ balls”.<br />
On June 17, 2017, locals turned out in<br />
their finery for the final ball to be held at<br />
the hall – a fitting farewell to mark the end<br />
of its life, prior to demolition.<br />
Jacqui Butt remembers winning first<br />
prize for her school project at the district<br />
flower show, which was held every year in<br />
the hall. The “fabulous” school concerts<br />
also live on in her memory – especially the<br />
year she wore lipstick for the first time.<br />
She also remembers the excitement of<br />
having movies screened there, but with<br />
something going wrong almost every time<br />
the audience often wouldn’t see the end of<br />
the movie.<br />
Heather Wild recalls the fundraising<br />
dances held to purchase curtains and<br />
furniture for the hall; Alison Pearce<br />
enjoyed card afternoons at the hall, while<br />
her husband was a keen indoor bowls<br />
player.<br />
All the residents spoken to were sad to<br />
see their old hall go, but believed the new<br />
community centre would be good for West<br />
Melton.<br />

Wednesday <strong>November</strong> [Edition 7 datE] <strong>2018</strong> 333<br />
Vet centre creates strong<br />
connection with community<br />
The West Melton Vet Centre has just<br />
celebrated its first anniversary, and over the<br />
last 12 months, the practice has become an<br />
integral part of the local community.<br />
“What’s been wonderful is the strong<br />
connection that’s been created with the<br />
West Melton community, and we want to<br />
thank the businesses for treating us as part<br />
of the shopping centre, and the community<br />
for their support,” says vet Michael Meehan.<br />
The practice was established by vet<br />
Jacoba Vaessler as a standalone vet clinic<br />
specialising in the treatment of dogs, cats<br />
and other small domestic animals. While<br />
every animal is treated with care and<br />
compassion, there was one incident with a<br />
guinea pig that was especially memorable,<br />
Michael says. The guinea pig, which was the<br />
mascot at the West Melton School, needed<br />
treatment for a cyst. This was successfully<br />
carried out, and because it belonged to the<br />
school, there was no fee charged.<br />
“The children made us a thank you card,<br />
and receiving that was very rewarding,”<br />
Michael says.<br />
Another enjoyable experience was the<br />
successful treatment of a small goat that<br />
was suffering from hypoglycaemia and<br />
couldn’t walk properly. After the treatment,<br />
the goat skipped and jumped joyfully out<br />
of the clinic, to the delight of the vet team,<br />
who posted a video of the goat on the<br />
clinic’s Facebook page.<br />
As a standalone clinic, West Melton Vet<br />
Centre is able to offer prompt test results<br />
and diagnoses, thanks to the high-quality<br />
equipment Jacoba has had installed. This<br />
includes an in-house blood machine, which<br />
provides test results in 15-20 minutes, an<br />
ultra-sound machine and a digital X-ray<br />
machine.<br />
Jacoba, Michael and the team of four<br />
vet nurses pride themselves on providing<br />
a professional service, without being too<br />
clinical, Michael says.<br />
“We are professionals, but we also enjoy<br />
taking a casual, light-hearted approach<br />
with our clients when appropriate, and<br />
having a laugh with them.”<br />

It’s all go<br />
in the garden<br />
It is all go in the garden and with Show<br />
Weekend coming up there is plenty of time<br />
to get those tasks done!<br />
Here are some things you can plant this month<br />
Veggies Lettuce, Chillies, Capsicums, Sweet Corn, Cucumbers,<br />
Courgettes, Spinach<br />
Flowers Poppies, Sweet Peas, Alyssum, Marigolds, Begonias, Petunias,<br />
Lobelia<br />
Show weekend is almost here so it is time to prepare to plant out your tomatoes!<br />
If you have started them inside your seedlings will be keen to get into a bigger pot<br />
or garden bed. Tomatoes are hungry feeders so before planting in the ground mix<br />
in our tomato fertiliser so they will have a good start, then feed every 4 weeks until<br />
the season ends.<br />
Once your plant is in fruit make sure you cover them as birds just love those big<br />
plump red tomatoes as much as you do. Cut off their laterals (these are the bits<br />
that grow out from the main stems), as this keeps the plant healthier and the<br />
nutrients go into producing the main fruit.<br />
Safety<br />
in the garden<br />
Spring brings the risk of<br />
catching Legionnaires<br />
Disease if you don’t handle<br />
potting mixes and compost<br />
correctly. The bacteria that<br />
cause Legionnaires Disease<br />
are present naturally in the<br />
environment and there is no<br />
method available to eliminate<br />
the bacteria.<br />
So, we must work with<br />
protecting ourselves from the harmful effects of these bacteria, in much the<br />
same way as we protect ourselves from the damage caused to us by exposure<br />
to the sun. Below are some precautions you can take to reduce the risk of<br />
contracting Legionnaires.<br />
• Open bags with a sharp knife – away from the face - in open spaces,<br />
not in enclosed areas like sheds or greenhouses<br />
• Remember to use gloves and masks when handling the mix<br />
• Dampen any dry mix – being care not to inhale dry, dusty mix<br />
• Store bags out of direct sunlight<br />
• Always wash your hands after gardening, and before eating or drinking<br />

The heat is on – time to grow chilli<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
• By Henri Ham<br />
CHILLI SEEM to generate a mass<br />
following all over the world.<br />
Did you know right here in<br />
New Zealand, we have our own<br />
chilli-eating competition and hot<br />
sauce festival? Much like coriander,<br />
chilli also really polarises<br />
people. They either love it or<br />
won’t touch it.<br />
When it comes to chilli, I’m<br />
definitely in ‘team heat’ and love a<br />
good chilli in my cooking or even<br />
on its own.<br />
Chilli heat is measured in<br />
Scoville Heat Units. The higher<br />
the rating the hotter the chilli.<br />
Trained testers dissolve dried<br />
chilli in alcohol and sugar water<br />
to measure its pungency. They<br />
then sample the mixture and<br />
dilute it until they can’t detect any<br />
more heat.<br />
Now I love chilli, but I’m not<br />
sure if I’d like this job.<br />
The current champion to the<br />
‘world’s hottest chilli’ goes to the<br />
carolina reaper. It has a little grim<br />
reaper-shaped tail and clocks in at<br />
1,600,000 SKU. To give some perspective<br />
– the friendly jalapeno<br />
measures around 5000 SKU.<br />
Eating hot chilli is not for the<br />
faint-hearted. People often find<br />
them to taste initially sweet, with<br />
an after burn that can last up to<br />
one hour in unsuspecting victims.<br />
And as a general rule, the smaller<br />
the pod the hotter the taste.<br />
Chillies are a spring and summer<br />
plant. The first varieties are<br />
ready right now such as jalapeno<br />
and red hot chilli. In <strong>November</strong><br />
you’ll see the habanero red, bhut<br />
jolokia (ghost pepper) and the<br />
jalapeno red flame seedlings become<br />
available. You’ll have to wait<br />
until Christmas time to get your<br />
hands on a carolina reaper plant.<br />
Here’s are some of the chillies<br />
in order of hottest (starting with<br />
the hottest of the hot) – carolina<br />
reaper, bhut jolokia, habanero<br />
red, red hot pepper, jalapeno red<br />
flame and jalapeno.<br />
Planting wise, chilli are fairly<br />
easy to grow. They like a welldrained,<br />
sheltered and sunny spot<br />
in your garden that is very similar<br />
HOT: The capsicum jalapeno<br />
(left) is ready for planting now.<br />
Above – the carolina reaper<br />
is considered the world’s<br />
hottest chilli pepper.<br />
to where you’d plant your tomatoes,<br />
capsicums, basil and parsley.<br />
If you’ve got space near any beefriendly<br />
plants like oregano and<br />
lavender, plant your chillies there<br />
to help with pollination.<br />
Increase the quality of your soil<br />
by adding a good general fertiliser<br />
and come compost. Sheep pallets<br />
are also great to mix in with the<br />
compost, and act as a slow release<br />
fertiliser.<br />
Chilli plants can get quite big,<br />
so plant your seedlings around<br />
30-50cm apart. But they don’t<br />
actually need a lot of space, and<br />
grow well in pots as well. Water<br />
straight after planting, but after<br />
that they only need attending to<br />
every few days. Avoid wetting the<br />
leaves to prevent the spread of any<br />
diseases. And, once your chillies<br />
have developed, you might like to<br />
water them sparingly (depending<br />
on your taste buds) as less watering<br />
will make the fruit hotter.<br />
In around two to three months<br />
from planting, you’ll start to see<br />
some spicy life. First flowers appear<br />
then, after being pollinated,<br />
they turn into fruit.<br />
If you’re unsure whether your<br />
plants have been pollinated<br />
simply dab a small paint brush<br />
in each flower to help spread the<br />
pollen around.<br />
Remember as with many fruit<br />
plants, cut your chillies rather<br />
than pulling them off. This encourages<br />
more fruit to grow. And<br />
what many people don’t realise is<br />
that a whole chilli freezes really<br />
well – lasting up to six months in<br />
the freezer. When you’re ready<br />
to cook with them, use an extra<br />
sharp knife and chop up your<br />
chilli while frozen. With fresh<br />
chilli about $2 each in the supermarket<br />
right now, it sure makes<br />
sense to freeze them.<br />
Chillies are perennial plants<br />
meaning they can last a few<br />
seasons. Once your plant has<br />
finished fruiting, simply prune<br />
back by about a third, and remove<br />
any dead branches. They don’t<br />
cope well with frosts. If you did<br />
plant them in pots, move them to<br />
warmer ground for winter. Either<br />
indoors, or higher to the deck or<br />
under the eaves of your house.<br />

US-built Acadia released by Holden NZ<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
• By Ross Kiddie<br />
HOLDEN New Zealand has<br />
launched its much-anticipated<br />
seven-seat sport utility vehicle –<br />
the Acadia<br />
It is the first time Holden has<br />
offered a GMC-based product in<br />
its line-up.<br />
Acadia boasts all the American<br />
presence you’d expect from a<br />
large SUV but, importantly, it has<br />
had Holden input from early on.<br />
While Acadia is unashamedly<br />
American in its design, its<br />
performance and driving persona<br />
has that signature Holden feel<br />
thanks to local engineering input.<br />
Using lessons learned from recent<br />
Commodore and Colorado<br />
programmes, Holden engineers<br />
have focused on delivering the<br />
direct steering and composed<br />
ride that resonates with Kiwis.<br />
Acadia is driven by a powerful<br />
3.6-litre V6 engine and ninespeed<br />
automatic transmission. It<br />
drives through the front wheels<br />
with all-wheel drive on demand.<br />
Standard across the range is a<br />
traction select system, which<br />
allows the driver to alter chassis<br />
and powertrain attributes to suit<br />
a variety of driving conditions.<br />
Front-drive models offer normal<br />
(2x4), snow, sport and trailer/<br />
tow modes, while AWD models<br />
offer 2x4 (AWD disconnect), 4x4,<br />
sport, off-road and trailer/tow<br />
modes.<br />
Additional chassis and<br />
driving dynamics features<br />
include MacPherson strut<br />
front suspension, five-link rear<br />
suspension, rack-mounted<br />
electric power steering system<br />
and four-wheel disc brakes.<br />
The media launch for Acadia<br />
was held on a variety of twisty<br />
roads north of Auckland. Initial<br />
driving impressions were that<br />
of an involving driving presence<br />
with strong engine performance.<br />
There is a large car feel with<br />
comfortable in-cabin dynamics.<br />
From the driving seat it<br />
steers directly and there is<br />
little body movement over the<br />
suspension. The Acadia is quiet<br />
in its movement and refinement<br />
throughout the vehicle is hugely<br />
noticeable. It is built on the same<br />
production line as Cadillac in<br />
Tennessee, consequently, build<br />
quality is high.<br />
A genuine seven-seater,<br />
the Acadia is configured for<br />
maximum comfort and flexibility.<br />
The rear two rows of seats can be<br />
folded flat for maximum cargo<br />
capacity if required, while the<br />
centre row is adjustable front to<br />
rear so the ideal leg room can be<br />
achieved for varying passenger<br />
groups.<br />
In a first for Holden, the new<br />
Acadia features intelligent speed<br />
assist with traffic sign recognition,<br />
all carefully calibrated to local<br />
conditions by Holden engineers.<br />
Other tech features include active<br />
HOLDEN ACADIA: Large seven-seat sport<br />
utility vehicle sourced from Tennessee,<br />
trailer assist and the inclusion<br />
of bicycles in the pedestrian<br />
detection system.<br />
“The level of technology across<br />
the range is compelling,” says<br />
Marc Ebolo, managing director of<br />
Holden New Zealand.<br />
“Whether we are talking safety,<br />
convenience or infotainment,<br />
Acadia has the most complete<br />
technology package Holden has<br />
ever offered.”<br />
The Acadia arrives here in<br />
three specifications ranging from<br />
$49,990 to $71,990.<br />

Animal tracing system ramps up<br />
Work to strengthen New Zealand’s<br />
animal tracing system to protect our<br />
economic base and unique way of life has<br />
been ramped up.<br />
As Biosecurity Minister Damien<br />
O’Connor said last week, “The National<br />
Animal Identification and Tracing (NAIT)<br />
scheme should have worked better during<br />
the Mycoplasma bovis response and I’m<br />
determined to help transform it into an<br />
easy-to-use, world-class traceability system<br />
to keep our primary sectors and economy<br />
safe.<br />
“From today, everyone who has an<br />
interest in NAIT can have a say on proposed<br />
ways to strengthen it for the future.<br />
“Earlier this year the long-awaited NAIT<br />
Review found a variety of flaws in the<br />
system and more than half of users were<br />
not recording farm-to-farm movements.<br />
“We instructed OSPRI to crack on with<br />
making operational changes and fixed the<br />
NAIT Act 2012 under urgency to bring its<br />
search and inspection powers in line with<br />
other Acts to ensure compliance officers<br />
can do their jobs.<br />
“Now we need to hear from those who use<br />
NAIT every day to tell us what changes to<br />
the law will make the system both a useful<br />
business tool and effective biosecurity tool.<br />
“At the heart of these proposals is a<br />
shared desire by the Government, farming<br />
industries and all New Zealanders to<br />
improve NAIT to keep our primary<br />
sectors safe and ensure those blatantly<br />
disregarding the rules and putting the<br />
rest of the sector at risk are penalised,” the<br />
Minister said.<br />
The Ministry for Primary Industries<br />
launched the regulatory consultation last<br />
Tuesday morning at a technical briefing for<br />
farming and industry stakeholders.<br />
It looks at ways to tighten rules around<br />
handling untagged animals, improve the<br />
use of data, and align penalties with other<br />
Acts to reflect the seriousness of noncompliance<br />
with NAIT. It also discusses<br />
longer-term improvements such as<br />
including other species and specifying roles<br />
for transporters and stock agents.<br />

SELWYN RURAL LIFE<br />
Bees and pollination the<br />
subject of new research<br />
Lincoln University Ecology Professor<br />
Steve Wratten, a recently announced James<br />
Cook Research Fellowship recipient, will<br />
address one of the major biodiversity<br />
challenges facing the future of agriculture:<br />
threats to bee populations and their<br />
pollination efficacy.<br />
“Agriculture has been called the biggest<br />
ecological experiment on earth. This global<br />
activity occupies 36 per cent of the earth’s<br />
arable land and contributes up to 40 per<br />
cent of the GDP in developing countries,<br />
but less than one per cent in developed<br />
ones,” Professor Wratten said.<br />
“The idea of ‘sustainable intensification’<br />
is being advocated by the world’s policy<br />
makers: a system in which agricultural<br />
yields are increased while minimising<br />
adverse environmental impact. Agriculture<br />
has inadvertent but major negative<br />
consequences, including a severe impact<br />
on biodiversity, human health and the<br />
environment.”<br />
Professor Wratten will employ a vital<br />
new approach to the understanding and<br />
enhancement of pollinator populations. It<br />
is based on the recent discovery that the<br />
pollen of some flower species does not have<br />
an appropriate ratio of nutrients for bee<br />
health, particularly with respect to sodium.<br />
This element, along with others such as<br />
potassium, calcium, magnesium, and iron,<br />
are vital for the health of pollinators.<br />
“Currently, when floral mixtures are<br />
selected to improve bee health, no account<br />
is taken of the pollen nutrient composition,”<br />
he said.<br />
Professor Wratten will analyse the<br />
chemical composition of pollens in a range<br />
of plant species to assess their suitability to<br />
bees and other pollinating insects. He will<br />
also develop science-based drinking water<br />
for bees, supplemented with a balanced<br />
mixture of soil-derived minerals to provide<br />
the nutrients appropriate for bee health.<br />
These research methods also have the<br />
potential to increase bee resistance to<br />
pathogens and parasites, including the<br />
Varroa mite, thereby addressing some of<br />
the causes of bee population decline.<br />
This novel approach employed by<br />
Professor Wratten can provide world-class<br />
management protocols for bees and other<br />
pollinating insects for deployment in bee<br />
keeping, and beyond.<br />
“The project will serve the burgeoning<br />
bee economy in New Zealand, an industry<br />
which currently has approximately one<br />
million honey bee hives but which has<br />
suffered somewhat from a lack of focused<br />
research for optimal management,” he<br />
said.<br />

The ‘cream of the crop’ on Barton Fields<br />

Fields, sits this grand 304m2 two storey home, with triple car<br />
garaging & off-street parking for the boat or camper. Anyone<br />
who enters this high spec’d property will be in awe of the high<br />
studded ceiling, which adds to the feeling of space, & the<br />
quality of fittings & finishing throughout. Boasting 2 living areas<br />
downstairs, including a large open plan space which combines a<br />
designer kitchen with WIP, 90cm oven, family living & a defined<br />
dining area with lower stud to create intimate ambience. The<br />
separate lounge can be closed off for quieter times in front of a<br />
movie. The master suite is on the ground floor, with its en-suite<br />
luxuriously finished with a tiled shower & under tile heating, plus<br />
a generous WIR. This level also offers a separate laundry, sizable<br />
study nook, walk-in linen room plus under stair storage. Heading<br />
upstairs, you’ll find 3 further bedrooms, one essentially being<br />
a second master suite or guest room with its own WIR & dual<br />
access en-suite/family bathroom with undertile heating. The<br />
icing on the cake is a very handy third living space at the top of<br />
the landing, which can accommodate another TV, small couch or<br />
2 loungers. So, whether you’re a professional couple who want<br />
a stunning home just a short drive from the city, or if you need a<br />
larger home for your family or to accommodate guests, then we<br />
strongly urge you to view this one as it will be sold on or before<br />

Raise your family with the lifestyle you always dreamed<br />
of: wide open paddocks, friendly chooks, pony rides,<br />
character building farm chores and making huts. Enjoy<br />
the warmer months outdoors in the beautiful gardens,<br />
firing up the BBQ; stay snug in the winter with the wood<br />

daytime warmth. A perfectly placed spa pool on the<br />
deck lets you marvel at the night sky all year round.<br />
The solid construction of the 2+ bedroom cottage is<br />

relocation in the 1990's. More recent improvements<br />
include an updated bathroom with wet room shower.<br />
Whilst the cottage has been lovingly maintained, just<br />
think of what could be created when you take<br />
advantage of the lead lighting, built-in cabinets and<br />
gorgeous wood panelling!<br />
Is this your dream realised? Not many lifestyle properties<br />
are set up to be so diverse in their offering and remain<br />
an affordable option.<br />

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

Your guide to all things Real Estate<br />
in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District<br />
Check building covenants<br />
before you purchase<br />
Developers have a vision for their<br />
subdivisions, which include the size, style<br />
and landscaping of individual homes.<br />
Such requirements will be written up in<br />
a separate building covenant document.<br />
As these address what might be built and<br />
how a property can be used, it is important<br />
to check these out before signing up for a<br />
piece of land.<br />
Covenants are conditions relating to<br />
land ownership and use. Given they are<br />
legally binding documents, you should<br />
familiarise yourself with what is required<br />
in terms of the home you will build and<br />
also future living. Your solicitor should<br />
also check this document.<br />
Building covenants usually require<br />
building work to be carried out in a safe<br />
and tidy manner, and in line with Council<br />
building consent standards. They will<br />
also stipulate that care is to be taken<br />
during building to ensure that public<br />
spaces, infrastructure and facilities near<br />
the site are not damaged. The impact of<br />
construction on others living in the estate<br />
will also likely be addressed.<br />
In relation to the home to be built,<br />
building covenants may address:<br />
• the design and size of the home,<br />
positioning on the section and whether<br />
more than one storey is permitted;<br />
• building height as well as roof pitch;<br />
• whether any outbuildings are permissible<br />
along with their siting;<br />
• landscaping where viewed from the<br />
street;<br />
• location and style of driveways and paths<br />
within street view; and<br />
• fencing – boundary and within the<br />
property (including distance from the<br />
front of the section).<br />
Your house design (including colours,<br />
roof style and cladding types) along with<br />
a landscaping plan, should be submitted<br />
to your developer for approval before<br />
building commences. It is a good idea to<br />
do this before submitting plans to Council,<br />
just in case changes may need to be made.<br />
Covenants extend beyond the building<br />
period, having validity after the ownership<br />
of and responsibility for the subdivision<br />
passes to the local Council. It is therefore<br />
worth considering whether your lifestyle<br />
will be impacted on, by the rules of the<br />
area you are looking to live in.<br />
While most covenants are reasonable<br />
and logical, some are more specific.<br />
Architecturally designed homes and only<br />
some exterior cladding types may be<br />
required. Often caravans, motorhomes<br />
or trucks are not to be parked in view of<br />
the street. There have also been cases in<br />
certain developments where no vehicles<br />
are to be parked on the street.<br />
To ensure covenants are adhered to<br />
during the building and landscaping<br />
process, developers request a bond.<br />
This may be around the $2,000 mark,<br />
something to be budgeted for. Once<br />
developer’s approval and sign-off is<br />
achieved, the money will be refunded,<br />
unless there is damage to the footpath,<br />
vehicle crossing, curbing or some other<br />
aspect of public land, which has not been<br />
remediated. In such a case, the bond<br />
may be forfeited to reimburse the cost of<br />
putting this right.<br />
Checking out building covenants before<br />
purchasing land will avoid any surprises<br />
further down the track.<br />
Fencing<br />
styles will be<br />
addressed within<br />
the covenants.<br />
Covenants<br />
determine house<br />
design, size and<br />
height.<br />

Protecting your family’s privacy and<br />
security when holding an open home<br />
When selling a property, many people<br />
are uncomfortable with the idea of<br />
strangers looking through their house<br />
when they’re not present. However,<br />
holding an open home is often the best<br />
way to show off the place to potential<br />
buyers.<br />
Welcoming house hunters (and let’s<br />
be honest, a few nosy neighbours) to a<br />
property does come with privacy and<br />
security risks that vendors should be<br />
aware of – and plan for.<br />
“It’s natural for sellers to have concerns<br />
about privacy and security – after all,<br />
you’re inviting complete strangers into<br />
your family’s home,” says Real Estate<br />
Authority (REA) Chief Executive Kevin<br />
Lampen-Smith.<br />
Lampen-Smith suggests sellers prepare<br />
by taking note of any items of sentimental<br />
or monetary value that should be removed<br />
from the property.<br />
“Think about items that could easily be<br />
slipped into a pocket or handbag, such as<br />
jewellery, silverware, small electronics or<br />
even the prescription medication stored<br />
in your bathroom cabinet. Tucking them<br />
away in your sock drawer or under your<br />
bed won’t do the trick,” Lampen-Smith<br />
says.<br />
Something that’s often overlooked by<br />
sellers opening their house to potential<br />
buyers is the risk of identity theft. It might<br />
sound far-fetched, but sellers who leave<br />
important documents like passports,<br />
bank statements or credit card receipts<br />
lying around are leaving themselves<br />
vulnerable. Lampen-Smith recommends<br />
these sorts of documents be tidied away<br />
and stored somewhere secure.<br />
Next, do a digital sweep of the property.<br />
The family PC or office desktop should<br />
be switched off and password protected.<br />
USB sticks or hard drives that are loaded<br />
with personal information should also be<br />
stored securely.<br />
“While this might sound like plain<br />
old common sense to many, I’ve heard<br />
of a seller leaving a post-it note with the<br />
house alarm code right next to the alarm,<br />
for anyone to come back and deactivate<br />
later,” Lampen-Smith recalls.<br />
Sellers should talk to their real estate<br />
agent or salesperson about how the actual<br />
open home will be conducted.<br />
“Ask if there will be a sign-in register,<br />
where visitors provide their name and<br />
contact information when they arrive at<br />
the showing. This is a helpful tool for the<br />
agent when it comes to following up with<br />
potential buyers, and, in the case that<br />
something is damaged or stolen during<br />
the open home, the information can be<br />
passed onto police,” Lampen-Smith says.<br />
The agent is required to be present at<br />
the viewing and shouldn’t leave potential<br />
buyers alone at the property. Ideally,<br />
the agent should accompany visitors as<br />
they tour the house, but this isn’t always<br />
possible if the showing gets busy. Sellers<br />
could ask that a second person from the<br />
real estate agency be on-site during the<br />
open home, to greet visitors at the door,<br />
ask them to sign in and wait until the<br />
agent is free to show them through.<br />
Sellers who still feel uneasy about<br />
having an open home could ask the agent<br />
to show the property ‘by appointment<br />
only’ to potential buyers.<br />
“There’s no law saying you must have<br />
an open home. Remember, it’s your<br />
house and ultimately you don’t have to do<br />
anything you’re uncomfortable with,” says<br />
Lampen-Smith.<br />
