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

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

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

When it comes to Selwyn, Mr

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

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

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

$30,000 over the past year.
“Taking the big fire appliances
around those tracks is pretty
challenging. We’re damaging
the trucks, smashing mirrors
off, that sort of thing, just to
get around and up these long
and tree-lined drives,” said Mr
Jones.
He said the brigade could use
the rapid response vehicle to
locate the scene of an emergency
and scout out safe access before
bringing in its heavy equipment.
He’s hoping the Challenge
initiative will get them over the
goal line.

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

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

Armistice Day commemorations have
HONOURED: Trooper
Gilbert ‘Bertie’ McGill of the
Canterbury Mounted Rifles,
taken before transferring to the
Canterbury Infantry Regiment.
He died of wounds while
serving on the Western Front in
France.
Historian and district council staff member Wayne
Stack continues his monthly look at Selwyn’s past.
Anyone with suggestions for future features can
phone Wayne on 021 119 9107. This month’s feature
covers the Armistice Day commemorations
THE COMMEMORATION of
the centenary of Armistice Day
to be held at the new Lakeside
Soldiers’ Memorial Hall on
Sunday has a greater historical
significance for the Selwyn
District than most people realise.
Traditionally in New Zealand
and Australia, Anzac Day has
provided the main focus for
remembrance of sacrifice in war,
with Armistice Day receiving
only limited attention.
However, the building of the
new memorial hall in the centennial
year of the end of World
War 1 is proof of the continued
commitment of the people of
the district in remembering the
sacrifice of the citizen-soldiers
and nurses who went to war to
defend the nation’s interests.
The building of a new hall at
Lakeside to replace the old hall
that had been demolished after
suffering significant damage
from the September 4, 2010,
earthquake was contentious.
Some questioned the rationale
of building a new hall in an
area of low population density
when it would be better suited in
Leeston.
However, the heritage significance
of the old hall was
recognised by the district council’s
decision to build a modern
replacement to preserve its commemorative
function.
What made the original hall
so significant was that it was
one of the first, if not the first,
Great War memorials built in
Canterbury.
It had a dual function of not
only being a memorial to those
from the district who served
overseas during World War
1, but also served a practical
purpose in providing a muchneeded
community meeting
place.
According to a report marking
the opening of the memorial
hall published in the Ellesmere
Guardian on August 4, 1917, the
residents of Lakeside had begun
raising funds for a community
hall in 1914, but it was agreed
to put the project on hold at the
Our Great
history
WITH WAYNE STACK
outbreak of war later that year.
The war went on longer than
expected and the need for a
hall became acute due to the
increased number of community
functions held to support the
war effort.
Raising sufficient funds to
build the hall had been an
obstacle in the past, but like the
funding for the new hall in 2018,
the project was realised through
community collaboration.
In 1916 ‘a generous and wellknown
local lady,’ who remained
anonymous, had offered to fund
free of interest the amount of
money required over and above
the amount subscribed by residents.
And it was at her suggestion
that a brick building be put up
and dedicated to the memory
of the Lakeside soldiers serving
overseas in the war.
By this time the New Zealand
Expeditionary Force had suffered
heavy casualties fighting at
Gallipoli, on the Western Front,
and in Egypt and Palestine; with
a number of volunteers from
Lakeside among them.
The building of the original
hall also came about through
further generosity of John
McLachlan, a local farmer who
had donated land for the hall
to be built on adjacent to Hart’s
Creek near Creamery Corner.
Many residents were also
actively involved in the project
by providing free cartage of
building materials and providing
furnishings, while a Mr K. Patterson
presented a large wooden
roll of honour which hung in the
hall.
This originally recorded those
soldiers from the district who
served in both the Great War
and the Boer War, with names of
those locals who had served in
World War 2 being added later.
The tender for building the hall
was awarded to Messrs Paynter
and Hamilton from Christchurch
at a price of £699, of which
£300 was raised by public
subscription, mostly by Lakeside
residents.

historical significance
Once built, the main room of
the hall measured 50ft by 31ft,
with a high stud. There was a 6ft
vestibule at the front entrance, on
each side of which was a ‘retiring
room’ measuring 10ft by 9ft.
The main room included a
stage measuring 21ft by 9ft and
there was a large supper room at
the back, running the full width
of the hall, 31ft by 10ft deep.
The hall was reported as having
‘an attractive front elevation,
two large folding entrance doors,
with a neat window either side’
with the words Soldiers Memorial
Hall appearing in large letters
above the entrance.
The hall was officially
opened by the MP for
Ellesmere, Colonel
Heaton Rhodes, on
August 3, 1917.
This was a very
critical time for New
Zealand during World
War 1.
The NZ Division
had suffered several
thousand casualties on
the Western Front in
gaining success in the
battle of Messines in
June that year, which
was followed by the
disaster at
Passchendaele on October 12,
where the division lost 2861

COMMUNITY: The original Lakeside Soldiers’ Memorial Hall.
casualties (including 957 killed in
action) in a single day.
Such loss of life in a military
event remains unprecedented in
New Zealand history
and the thought of
not returning home
weighed heavily on
those local young
men who travelled to
Europe and the Middle
East as reinforcements.
An example is that
of Trooper Clement
McLachlan of the
Canterbury Mounted
Rifles who later transferred
into the NZ
Rifle Brigade, serving
on the Western Front.
After receiving a
letter from his sister, Margaretta
Lochhead, giving him an update
on the progress of the building
of the hall, he replied in a letter
home expressing his hope that
there would not be too many
names on the roll of honour.
Sadly, he was one of those who
did not return, dying of wounds
in France in April 1918.
The McLachlan family connection
with the hall remains with
Clement’s great-great nephew,
Hamish McLachlan, being the project
architect of the new memorial
hall, while working for Architecture
Workshop in Wellington.
Other local family connections
to those named on the roll of
honour are still prevalent in the
district, such as the Lambies,
Taiaroas, Thians and Pattersons.
When opening the original
hall, Rhodes commented that
Lakeside was a rich fertile
district, that he was confident
the population would greatly increase
in the future and that the
MEANINGFUL: The roll of honour that will again hang in the
new Lakeside Soldiers Memorial Hall.
Creamery Corner would some
day become an important and
busy centre.
While this did not come to
fruition, his prediction that the
hall would prove very useful to
the district in many ways, while
also being a permanent memorial
to those from Lakeside who
served in the war, certainly did.
The original Soldiers Memorial
Hall became the heart of the
Lakeside community, providing a
sense of connection to the place.
Apart from being a venue for
annual Anzac Day services, for
93 years the hall catered for lifeevent
markers that are central to
small communities – weddings,
funerals, significant birthday
parties, elections, sporting and
cultural group meetings.
The new modern facility will
continue to fulfil these functions
for the years ahead.
Following the Armistice Day
commemoration, the hall will be
open for viewing, although the
official opening will not occur
until early 2019.

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

having a presence at the spring
A&P shows, such as Leeston,
Rangiora, Kirwee and Christchurch,
was good promotion.
He said he was keen to
encourage the next generation,
including 10-year-old Shaun
Prangley, of Dunsandel, who
won the W. L. Gobbe Cup for
best junior (under-16) at the
Selwyn show, after acquiring
some white leghorn bantams
from Mr Bain earlier this year.

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

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

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

Adequate police staffing levels vital
Selwyn MP Amy Adams
writes about the recent
homicide in the district and
Selwyn’s high crash rate
I AM SURE that many Selwyn
residents would have been
shocked by the recent homicide
in the district and the reported
involvement of gang members in
this incident.
While most Selwyn residents
are wonderful, law-abiding citizens,
this event is a reminder that
no community is immune from
the influence of gang activity and
criminal behaviour.
For this reason, it is vital
that our local police have the
resources they need to deal with
incidents and help prevent crime
in our communities.
Unfortunately, road safety
remains a major issue in our district
that takes up a considerable
amount of police attention.
As I mentioned in a column
in the Selwyn Times earlier this
year, Selwyn has an unacceptably
high rate of crashes, particularly
at intersections. Anything that
we can do to reduce both our
local and our national crash rate,
should be encouraged.
One way of approaching the
problem is to look at the reasons
for fatal crashes and see what we

can do to minimise or eliminate
the risks.
Last year, 79 fatal crashes
involved a driver with drugs in
their system, compared with

driver. These figures come from
testing that is done by authorities
following a fatal crash and
show that we need to get more
proactive in preventing people
from driving while under the
influence of drugs.
Currently, under the Land
Transport Act, drug driving is
measured by an impairment test
that involves an eye assessment
and requesting a driver walk
heel-to-toe in a straight line. The
current method has some obvious
limitations.
Advances in drug testing technology
over recent years including
saliva and sweat tests have
made roadside testing for drugs
much more practical. Based on
this, my colleague Wairarapa

a member’s Bill which would
have allowed police officers to
perform roadside drug testing on
any driver who they suspected
was driving under the influence
of drugs.
Disappointingly, all three parties
in the Coalition Government
voted against this member’s Bill,
in spite of the Minister of Police
Stuart Nash previously acknowledging
the need to roll out new
technology to combat the
danger posed by drugged
drivers.
The voting down of a
member’s Bill which would
have kept our roads safer and
saved lives is incomprehensible.
If the Government saw some
way to improve the Bill the least
they could have done was to
send it to select committee for
consideration and feedback.

Thorough process to select leaders at schools
• By Emily O’Connell and Georgia
O’Connor-Harding
STUDENTS FROM around the
district are putting their best foot
forward in a bid to be named as a
school leader next year.
Lincoln High School has completed
a two-month process of
deciding its 2019 head students.
It started with students who
were interested, submitting a CV,
cover letter and teacher referee
report.
After a question and answer
session with the current head
students, applicants had a 5min
interview with principal Kathy
Paterson and assistant principal
Kylie Wissel.
This helped form the shortlist
of about eight to 10 students.
Their first task was to submit a
poster to the office so it could be
placed around the school.
The shortlisted students then
attended a two-hour “head 2
head” activity session, working
on problem-solving and communication
skills.
About a week later the students
presented a 1min speech to the
school. After this, year 9 to 12
students voted for their preferred
leaders. Staff also got a chance to
vote.
Last term, students helped out
at the Delta Community Support
Trust’s disco night. The trust
provides activities and a support
network for people who are
experiencing hardship, disadvantage
and disability.
The final stage of the process
was a 20min formal interview
with Mrs Paterson and Mrs
Wissel.
Miki Tiltman and Coven
Mouat have been named as the
school’s head students for next
year, along with Maria Mendoza
Nieto and Dylan Booysens who
will be the deputy head students.
Mrs Wissel said the school’s
selection process provides a “really
good insight into what areas
of strengths and weaknesses they
all have.”
“I think back to their first
interview when they were nervous
and unsure to becoming
wonderfully confident young
people,” she said.
Rolleston College’s leadership
is unique as it offers opportunities
from year 9.
As it’s a new school it currently
only has year 9 and 10 students.
Students are able to apply for
roles and go through a selection
process in their whanau.
They also have the opportunity
to attend leadership classes,
conferences and be part of action
groups when the need arises.

shortlisted
head
students
for next
year as
well as
some of
its current
head
students.
SCHOOLS
The school’s distributed leadership
model means leaders can
take the lead when they are ready
for the challenge.
Ellesmere College has a fourstage
process in choosing its
head students.
Students have to apply in writing
to indicate their interest by
October 15.
They are then invited to
present a short speech to their
year 12 peers on why they would
make a good school leader.
Following the speech, students
are then ranked in order of preference
by both staff and
their fellow year 12 students to
get an indication of who should
be shortlisted for the positions.
The shortlist usually ranges
from seven to 10 students.
The students are then interviewed
by the school’s senior
leadership team and a kaitiaki
before recommendations are
made to the principal who makes
the final decision.
Darfield High School’s selection
process is just as extensive
with applications for the leadership
roles closing and the initial
round of interviews being conducted
in August.
Successful students were then
invited to attend a leadership
camp last month at the Environmental
Education Centre of New
Zealand in Craigieburn.
At the camp head student job
descriptions are shared before
each student makes a presentation
at the camp on their vision
for the position and how they
will achieve this.
A second round of
interviews with head student
applications are held before an
announcement and presentation
is made at the school’s senior
prize-giving on December 3.

HISTORY: Kate Foster, Colin Wilson and Margaret Copland at the Hororata Parish
Spring Fair.
Suffrage 125th anniversary
celebrated at Hororata fair
ABOUT 1500 people attended the
Hororata Parish Spring Fair.
The community day, held at Hororata
Domain on Labour Day, celebrated the
area’s connection to a prominent moment
in history – 125 years since New Zealand
women achieved voting parity.
Well-known storyteller Margaret
Copland, along with historians Colin
Wilson and Kate Foster, presented Sir
John Hall’s story.
Sir John is buried at St John Cemetery
in Hororata. His last act before retiring
from Parliament was to pilot the women’s
right to vote Electoral Bill in 1893.
The presentation included sharing the
speech he read in Parliament supporting
the Bill.
Visitors to the fair were able to learn
more about the suffrage movement with
a display and movie put together by the
Homebush Stables Historical Society.
“It was great to be part of the Beca
A GROUP of mothers passionate about
bringing a toy library to Rolleston are
making progress towards getting the
project off the ground – but could do with
a little help.
The Rolleston Toy Library project is the
initiative of Fiona Morland who moved to
Rolleston with her family in October last
year.
“With so many young families in
Rolleston I thought we should set one up,”
Mrs Morland said.
Beginning with a general call for
expressions of interest on the Rolleston
Community Facebook page, Mrs Morland
soon discovered there was a strong desire
within the community for a facility.
She set about gathering a small group
of volunteers to figure out what needed
to be done to make it happen. The group
has formed a committee and has become
an official incorporated society. Students
from Rolleston College are helping the
committee with a logo design.
The biggest hurdle has been finding
suitable premises. The group is welcoming
Heritage Week and the Suffrage 125
celebrations, it added a new twist to the
fair and showcased our community,” fair
committee chairwoman Lucy Cookson
said.
The country auction was again a feature
of the event. Visitors showed off their
No 8 wire ingenuity in the Agri-Art
competition, creating garden art.
“While the spring fair is the major
fundraiser for the Hororata Parish each
year, more importantly, it is a wonderful
day for our community to come together
and welcome others to enjoy a day in the
country,” Mrs Cookson said.
She said there were numerous other
community groups and businesses with
stalls.
“As always, it takes a big team to
make these events happen. Thank you
to all the committee, stall-holders,
performers and the businesses and
individuals who supported the event.”
Bid for Rolleston Toy
Library gains support
any offers – from potential shared facilities
to sheds, containers or garages.
The feasibility of an online toy library is
also being investigated as an option.
The goal is to have a fully functioning
toy library that provides a collection of
safe, high-quality toys for children aged
up to six-years-old. The next focus for
the group is a fundraising campaign to
help secure a space and fit it out with the
essentials. There are also plans to make
applications for community grants.
•The committee will hold a toy
drive and car boot sale at Rolleston
College from 10am-1pm on
November 24. For more information,

• By David Hill
A LEADING Dunsandel farming couple
have been nominated in the first Primary
Industries Good Employer Awards.
Sharemilkers Michael and Susie
Woodward have been nominated in the
minister’s award category, announced by
Agriculture Minister Damien O’Connor.
Mr Woodward is the Federated Farmers
North Canterbury dairy chairman and a
Central Rural Life columnist.
“It’s a good surprise. We had seen it
advertised and we
were approached
by someone
who wanted to
nominate us,” Mr
Woodward said.
“It wasn’t
anybody from
within our team,
so we are stoked
that somebody
thought we were
worthy to be put
forward.”
He said he
understood the
nomination
recognised the
value they place on their employees in
supporting them “on their journey” and
helping them to meet their goals.
While the Woodwards employed the
best candidates, Mr Woodward said
they were keen to encourage young New
Zealanders to work in the primary sector
and had recently hosted a Christchurch
school group on their farm.

Rotarians have got together to share their

The annual Rotary Club of Lincoln
event has been an ongoing project for
more than a decade, and it’s proven to be
a great way to welcome young overseas
scholars to the community.
Lincoln is a multi-cultural township and
this is reflected in the club membership,
with 10 of the 43 Lincoln Rotary members
originally from another country.
The club invited 15 postgraduate
students and their partners from China,
India, Iran, Lebanon, Pakistan, Romania,
Sri Lanka, Thailand, Vietnam, Zimbabwe,
Indonesia, Myanmar, Morocco and the
Philippines.

us to learn about different cultures and

important that they feel valued and have
opportunities to advance.’’
He said the biggest barrier to employing
young New Zealanders was “attitude”
which was largely due to the ongoing
perception that agriculture was a
career for those who struggled
academically.
‘’We need people who are at the top
of their game in our industry. So it’s a
challenge for us of how can we produce
employees who get up each day and say
‘how can I make this job better?’ We still
need the
people [who]
are good
with their
hands as
well.’’
Mr
O’Connor
said good
staff are the
foundation
of all good
businesses.
“I’ve met

across the
sector and one particular message has
stayed with me: First we look after the
people, then they’ll look after the animals,
and everything else will follow.”

throughout New Zealand, has also
been nominated, with chief executive

The students came from different
faculties of Lincoln University and each
gave a 2min talk about their country,

This allowed club members to become
aware of some of the current research

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

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

Memorial Hall

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

Join the Selwyn Youth Council
and make a difference
Applications for the 2019/20 Selwyn Youth Council are open now and young people aged
between 14 and 24 years of age who live in Selwyn are encouraged to apply.
The Youth Council is made up of 12 passionate young people with support from the Selwyn
District Council.
Current Youth Council Chair Paige Sullivan says by joining the Selwyn Youth Council you
could help make life better for local young people by representing their views to the Council
and other organisations.
The Youth Council ensures the voices of young people in Selwyn are heard in local decision
making and that their views are taken into account when planning projects that affect them, like
town centre works, local parks, pools, libraries and events.
This year the Selwyn Youth Council has been involved with a number of initiatives including the
Selwyn Link bus service trial, BOOST 2018, a ‘What do YOUth think? survey and hosting a ‘What
do YOUth think? event to gather feedback on the Long–Term Plan 2018–2028.
Mayor Sam Broughton says our Youth Council has made a big difference in Selwyn.
“If you are interested in helping support other young people and want to be a part of making cool
things happen you should put your name forward for consideration.”

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

• By Jacob Page
IT WAS a miserable Saturday
for Selwyn’s premier cricket
teams with all three suffering
losses in the Canterbury
Country one-day competition.
Leeston-Southbridge,
Weedons and Darfield were
all defeated as Southbrook and
Oxford went to the top of the
table.
Weedons suffered an
embarrassing batting collapse
on the road against Kaiapoi. The
visitors restricted the hosts to
69 all out inside 26 overs thanks
largely to pace bowlers Frazer
Austin 5/13 and Lachie Stove
2/22. Weedons started well,
reaching 18 without loss, but
then lost eight wickets for 10
runs to eventually be all out for
52, falling 17 runs short.
Leeston-Southbridge remain
third on the table after a late
collapse saw them lose by six
runs to Sefton at Sefton Domain.
Leeston-Southbridge appeared
to be cruising to the target
after a century stand between
Tim Gruijters (62) and Liam
O’Sullivan (37) had them at
135/5 in pursuit of 142 for
victory. Leeston-Southbridge
then lost five wickets for no runs
in 12 balls to lose the game.
Darfield were no match for
Oxford Rangiora at Oxford’s
Pearson Park. After being
sent in to bat on a green pitch,
Darfield lost wickets regularly
and found scoring difficult as
they were bundled out for 69
inside 35 overs.
Darfield were unable to take
early wickets and Oxford-
Rangiora cruised to the target
with eight wickets to spare.
Cheviot were able to knock off
competition leaders Southbrook
thanks to a gritty 53 off 47
balls from Jack Harris that saw
them through to 190/8. Former
Canterbury batsman Shanan
Stewart made a brisk 44 and
combined with Jack Boyle (24)
in a partnership of 70.
However, when both departed,
the previously unbeaten
Southbrook lost all momentum
and eventually fell 18 runs short.
On Saturday, Cheviot will host
Weedons at Cheviot Domain;
Southbrook will host Leeston-
Southbridge at Southbrook
Domain; Darfield will travel
to Rangiora to play Sefton and
Kaiapoi will hit the road to play
Oxford.
Scorecards:
•Sefton 141/9 (T Harrison
36, M Rowe 24, A Robinson
22, S Barber 20; J Harden
2/17, T Field 2/23, W

•Darfield 69 (M Power

Nuturing the young for 167 years
The late US journalist
Herb Caen wrote: “A city
is not gauged by its length
and width but by the
broadness of its vision and
the height of its dreams.”
Caen might have been
writing of Christchurch,
as our visions for the new
city pay homage to the
dreams of the founders
while unleashing our own
dreams for a lofty future.
At the heart of the
city since those earliest
aspirational days when the
founders laid out the first
roads and planted the first
trees, St Michael’s has had
at its heart the vision and
dreams of our city and its
children.
Indeed, for 167 years,
St Michael’s has been
educating and nurturing
the visionaries and
dreamers who continue to
shape our city and step
out into the world beyond.
For our young pupils have
limitless potential to lead
exciting and generous
lives, and we have the
responsibility to educate and inspire
them, to encourage every child to
flourish, in mind, body and spirit.
St Michael’s is a prep school for girls
and boys in Years 1-8. Our classes are
small, fewer than 20 pupils, and our
specialist teachers ensure each child is
an individual, well known by staff and
fellow pupils alike. For at the heart of
St Michael’s are the essential values
of Christian faith and good citizenship:
respect, integrity, community, faith,
hope and love.
An independent school education
at the primary level is a great gift
and so traditional foundations in
Counting the beat, an exploration of rhythm. Year 1
and 2 Music.
English and Maths are assured. This
academic rigour then underpins our
wider curriculums in Science, History,
Geography and Spanish. IT literacy is
taught, not assumed, and computer
use is measured. We like teaching and
talking to our pupils!
A prep education offers balance.
St Michael’s cultural and sports’
programmes further develop each
child’s foundation, as creativity and
problem-solving come in many forms.
Specialist art and music classes are
enjoyed weekly. We have two choirs,
and most pupils play at least one
instrument or study speech and
drama with one of our nine
itinerant staff.
Located in the heart of
the city, on the banks of
the Avon and the new City
Promenade, our extended
campus is spectacular:
today, the Art Gallery;
tomorrow, the Gardens;
tennis later in Hagley Park.
A recent school survey
indicates that many of
our parents now work in
the thriving city centre,
or Lincoln and Riccarton
Road hubs but they live
city-wide. They comment
on the benefit of knowing
their children are in
school nearby and the
convenience of popping
in for an hour to catch
a performance or watch
a race. With the new
central exchange only a
block away, a number of
children arrive by bus from
all corners of the city.
Is your child one of 15
or 50? Is their classroom a
calm, productive learning
space or is the noise and
movement unceasing? How
much of the teacher’s attention does
your child actually receive? There is
an alternative.
You and your child are warmly
invited to discover for yourselves
our purposeful, wholehearted and
inclusive prep school. Our Open Day
is Tuesday, November 14, or contact
our registrar, Bec Hitchcock, for a
personal tour: 03 379 9790.

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

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

Hazel Littlejohn has warmed

“It was a huge thrill to have

so close to the world championships,”
Littlejohn said.
She is a fourth-year bowler

Littlejohn said her
performance at the national

CALL-UP: Selwyn

will represent

team at the world
championships in
January.
Littlejohn called up to bowl
for NZ at world champs
Dunsandel Bowling Club over
winter with her coach Ashley
Paul. “I didn’t think I had done
enough to win initially, as it was
a really tight competition,” she
said.
“We had quite a mild winter
and having access to an artificial
green meant I was able to
practice three to four times a
week instead of just once a week
like in previous seasons.
“My coach has worked hard
with me during the winter and
his dedication and willingness
to give up his time has meant a
lot to me.”
West Melton bowler Barbara
Herrick and Leeston’s Margaret
Bailey will also be part of the
New Zealand team in January.
Teams from Wales, Scotland,
South Africa, England,
Australia, Northern Ireland and
Ireland are all expected at the
event.

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

Vet centre creates strong
connection with community
The West Melton Vet Centre has just
celebrated its first anniversary, and over the
last 12 months, the practice has become an
integral part of the local community.
“What’s been wonderful is the strong
connection that’s been created with the
West Melton community, and we want to
thank the businesses for treating us as part
of the shopping centre, and the community
for their support,” says vet Michael Meehan.
The practice was established by vet
Jacoba Vaessler as a standalone vet clinic
specialising in the treatment of dogs, cats
and other small domestic animals. While
every animal is treated with care and
compassion, there was one incident with a
guinea pig that was especially memorable,
Michael says. The guinea pig, which was the
mascot at the West Melton School, needed
treatment for a cyst. This was successfully
carried out, and because it belonged to the
school, there was no fee charged.
“The children made us a thank you card,
and receiving that was very rewarding,”
Michael says.
Another enjoyable experience was the
successful treatment of a small goat that
was suffering from hypoglycaemia and
couldn’t walk properly. After the treatment,
the goat skipped and jumped joyfully out
of the clinic, to the delight of the vet team,
who posted a video of the goat on the
clinic’s Facebook page.
As a standalone clinic, West Melton Vet
Centre is able to offer prompt test results
and diagnoses, thanks to the high-quality
equipment Jacoba has had installed. This
includes an in-house blood machine, which
provides test results in 15-20 minutes, an
ultra-sound machine and a digital X-ray
machine.
Jacoba, Michael and the team of four
vet nurses pride themselves on providing
a professional service, without being too
clinical, Michael says.
“We are professionals, but we also enjoy
taking a casual, light-hearted approach
with our clients when appropriate, and
having a laugh with them.”
West Melton Vet Centre is located at
736 Weedons Road, phone 347 4546.
Opening hours are Monday to Friday
8am-6pm.

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

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

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

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

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

Fields, sits this grand 304m2 two storey home, with triple car
garaging & off-street parking for the boat or camper. Anyone

designer kitchen with WIP, 90cm oven, family living & a defined

luxuriously finished with a tiled shower & under tile heating, plus
a generous WIR. This level also offers a separate laundry, sizable

icing on the cake is a very handy third living space at the top of
the landing, which can accommodate another TV, small couch or
2 loungers. So, whether you’re a professional couple who want
a stunning home just a short drive from the city, or if you need a
larger home for your family or to accommodate guests, then we

PRICES VALLEY
2890 Christchurch Akaroa Road
Raise your family with the lifestyle you always dreamed
of: wide open paddocks, friendly chooks, pony rides,
character building farm chores and making huts. Enjoy
the warmer months outdoors in the beautiful gardens,
firing up the BBQ; stay snug in the winter with the wood
burner on wetback and large conservatory trapping the
daytime warmth. A perfectly placed spa pool on the
deck lets you marvel at the night sky all year round.
The solid construction of the 2+ bedroom cottage is
reinforced by new roofing, wiring and piling from its
relocation in the 1990's. More recent improvements
include an updated bathroom with wet room shower.
Whilst the cottage has been lovingly maintained, just
think of what could be created when you take
advantage of the lead lighting, built-in cabinets and
gorgeous wood panelling!
Is this your dream realised? Not many lifestyle properties
are set up to be so diverse in their offering and remain
an affordable option.

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

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

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