Council<br />

to step<br />

back<br />

from<br />

social<br />

housing<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

SOCIAL HOUSING across <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

will no longer be directly provided<br />

by the district council.<br />

Instead, it will advocate for social<br />

housing by working with housing<br />

providers, Government agencies<br />

and the private sector to deliver<br />

services in the district.<br />

It comes after several submissions<br />

were made in the Long Term<br />

Plan <strong>2018</strong>-2028 calling for the<br />

district council to invest or provide<br />

social housing.<br />

The district council’s decision<br />

not to provide social housing was<br />

made last week after a report was<br />

presented at its public meeting.<br />

The key reason behind the decision<br />

is the district council does not<br />

view social housing as part of its<br />

core business. The report said the<br />

primary responsibility of social<br />

housing in <strong>Selwyn</strong> lies with central<br />

Government.<br />

The report said the benefits from<br />

the district council deciding to<br />

advocate for social housing instead<br />

of providing, meant minimal<br />

financial costs to council and<br />

ratepayers. •Turn to page 4

Residents chance to<br />

have say on parking enforcement<br />

STRONGER enforcement is not<br />

off the cards as considerations<br />

on how car parking should be<br />

managed across the district<br />

begins.<br />

Public consultation on the<br />

district council’s draft parking<br />

strategy started last week.<br />

District council<br />

could consider stronger rules<br />

properly regulate parking in the<br />

district if that’s what residents<br />

believe is necessary.<br />

“The draft strategy is about<br />

managing the district’s parking<br />

in an equitable and coherent<br />

way, particularly in our town<br />

centres where there is high<br />

demand,” Mr Harris said.<br />

such as Rolleston and Lincoln.<br />

It provides for both private<br />

and public parking, and links<br />

with the district council’s other<br />

transport strategies.<br />

Mr Harris said <strong>Selwyn</strong> is a<br />

diverse and growing district<br />

and with the growth comes the<br />

demand to manage parking<br />

that works for residential<br />

communities.<br />

“This strategy is about<br />

ensuring that our parking<br />

system provides safe, efficient<br />

access to services and<br />

destinations, and allows our<br />

townships to thrive,” he said.<br />

In Brief<br />

MAHOE RESERVE FIRES<br />

A 28-year-old man has been<br />

charged in relation to four fires at<br />

Mahoe Reserve in Lincoln over the<br />

past month. Sergeant Phil Bayne<br />

said covert cameras were installed<br />

in the reserve and a member of the<br />

public was able to identify the man<br />

responsible. He said the fires damaged<br />

shrubs and trees. The man<br />

will appear in the Christchurch<br />

District Court on December 13.<br />

FOSTER PARK DESIGN<br />

The district council has approved<br />

a design-build approach for the<br />

procurement of a contractor for<br />

the $21 million Foster Park indoor<br />

sports project. The facility will<br />

incorporate both a multi-court<br />

indoor complex and a sports hub,<br />

featuring changing rooms and<br />

storage space. The approach will<br />

involve expressions of interest;<br />

selecting companies to develop a<br />

basic concept design; and selecting<br />

a preferred concept/contractor.<br />

Advocacy role in<br />

social housing<br />

Pat<br />

McEvedy<br />

•From page 1<br />

The district council currently<br />

provides a small pool of social<br />

housing in Darfield with three old<br />

houses on North Tce. These have<br />

historically been provided at low<br />

market rents. It also provides a<br />

house in Hororata<br />

at below-market<br />

rent to a trust that<br />

looks after disadvantaged<br />

children.<br />

District councillor<br />

John Morten<br />

said the decision<br />

probably fits in<br />

with his philosophy of social<br />

housing not being the district<br />

council’s core business.<br />

“I am not a great supporter of<br />

social housing but I am certainly<br />

not against council advocating<br />

for groups in the community who<br />

may possibly be providers or possibly<br />

council being involved if it<br />

had land available,” he said.<br />

Cr Morten said the important<br />

thing is the district council hasn’t<br />

walked away and it is happy to<br />

work with community groups.<br />

District councillor Pat McEvedy<br />

said he was comfortable with the<br />

decision.<br />

He said it has a role of advocating<br />

on behalf of community<br />

development for funding and<br />

social housing providers which<br />

want to set up in the district.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

Hall repairs to go out for tender<br />

• By Emily O’Connell<br />

John Morten<br />

REPAIRS TO the earthquake<br />

damaged Sheffield Community<br />

Hall have taken another step<br />

forward.<br />

The district council has approved<br />

for tender negotiations to<br />

take place and for the project to<br />

proceed.<br />

The hall, which is now owned<br />

by the district council, was discussed<br />

at its meeting last week.<br />

A recommendation<br />

to<br />

put the seismic<br />

strengthening<br />

process<br />

on hold so a<br />

further assessment<br />

could be<br />

done was not<br />

adopted by the<br />

district council.<br />

District councillor John<br />

Morten advocated for the project<br />

to continue without another<br />

assessment, so Sheffield residents<br />

didn’t have to wait longer for the<br />

hall to be repaired.<br />

“I moved an amendment,<br />

which then was passed, that<br />

basically instructed the staff to go<br />

ahead and negotiate with the best<br />

tenderer and get on and proceed<br />

with the project,” he said.<br />

The budget for the project was<br />

originally $289,000 but the cost<br />

to undertake it is now assessed<br />

at $606,417.<br />

Cr Morten said he “assumed”<br />

the difference will be covered as<br />

per the funding plan from the<br />

initial report.<br />

The plan included using unspent<br />

money from the Springston<br />

and Ladbrooks community halls<br />

repairs as well as money from the<br />

district seismic budget.<br />

Some district councillors<br />

had concerns over the $317,417<br />

increase.<br />

District councillor Mark Alexander<br />

said it was “unfortunate”<br />

and “not ideal.”<br />

He said if the original budget<br />

was $600,000 there would have<br />

been a lot less support for it than<br />

there was.<br />

Cr Alexander supported the<br />

recommendation to put the<br />

seismic strengthening project on<br />

hold while another assessment<br />

was done.<br />

Supporting his views, district<br />

councillor Grant Miller said<br />

they “clearly” need to stop and<br />

think about it.<br />

“Once you start getting to<br />

those numbers, you’re not far<br />

from a point where you go well<br />

actually, are we better to repair<br />

an old building . . . or should<br />

REPAIRS: The<br />

district council<br />

has agreed to<br />

continue with<br />

the seismic<br />

strengthening<br />

project for<br />

Sheffield<br />

Community<br />

Hall, in spite of a<br />

recommendation<br />

to put it on hold.<br />

we actually stop and consider<br />

ourselves here, what is best for<br />

Sheffield in the future?” he said.<br />

Sheffield-Waddington Community<br />

Committee chairwoman<br />

Val McKenzie said it was a “great<br />

result.”<br />

Former mayor Bill Woods, who<br />

has been involved with the issue,<br />

is also pleased with the outcome.<br />

“The quicker we can get the<br />

hall operating properly, the<br />

better is it for the hall because<br />

we’re losing so many customers<br />

now,” he said.<br />

Cr Alexander and Cr<br />

Miller voted against the<br />

amendment.<br />

‘Emergency use’<br />

chlorine gear<br />

under discussion<br />

• By Emily O’Connell<br />

CHLORINATION equipment<br />

could be installed at Rolleston,<br />

Darfield, Arthur’s Pass, Upper<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> Huts, and Lake Coleridge<br />

as a preventative measure.<br />

The district council’s audit and<br />

risk sub-committee discussed the<br />

issue at its meeting on Wednesday,<br />

where it passed several recommendations<br />

including one to install<br />

the necessary infrastructure as<br />

prioritised.<br />

Its recommendations will go to<br />

the district council next month to<br />

be approved.<br />

Sub-committee chairman Grant<br />

Miller said the equipment would<br />

be installed for “emergency use.”<br />

“It’s there if there is a health outbreak,<br />

we can have facilities ready<br />

and we can turn it on and chlorinate<br />

the water until such time as the<br />

water supply is safe again.” he said.<br />

Other recommendations included<br />

permanently chlorinating the<br />

Arthur’s Pass and Upper <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

Huts water supplies, receiving the<br />

Water Supply Chlorination – A Risk<br />

Based Approach report, continuing<br />

to review and update the chlorine<br />

risk matrix and continuing to chlorinate<br />

supplies which are already<br />

chlorinated.<br />

Further concerns over shed<br />

• By Karen Pasco<br />

Kerry Pauling<br />

A SHED on State Highway<br />

73 which has the potential to<br />

“cut someone in half,” is still<br />

standing as the Springfield<br />

township committee don’t want<br />

to appear heavy-handed.<br />

Concerns about the shed,<br />

near the corner of Pocock Rd<br />

and SH73, were highlighted at<br />

a Malvern Community Board<br />

meeting.<br />

Malvern<br />

Community<br />

Board chairman<br />

Kerry<br />

Pauling said<br />

the owner,<br />

who was approached<br />

by<br />

a member of<br />

the Springfield Township committee<br />

last year, told them she<br />

wanted to repair it. However, no<br />

further repairs had been made.<br />

“We’re not really going to<br />

push the issue too hard. We<br />

don’t want the township committee<br />

to alienate themselves as<br />

doing something to force the<br />

issue much,” Mr Pauling said.<br />

When asked if public safety<br />

was more important than alienating<br />

the committee, Mr Pauling<br />

said the committee could<br />

offer to help tidy up the shed<br />

and get rid of the loose material.<br />

“There has been a sheet of iron<br />

come off already,” Mr Pauling said.<br />

“It could just about cut someone<br />

in half.”<br />

The owners did not want<br />

to pull the shed down as they<br />

would have to get a building<br />

consent to erect a new one on<br />

the same site if the shed was<br />

gone, he said.<br />

Mr Pauling was going to<br />

check with the council whether<br />

this was the case. If a building<br />

consent was needed, regardless<br />

of whether the shed was there<br />

or not, there was no point in the<br />

shed staying.<br />

A <strong>Selwyn</strong> District Council<br />

spokesperson said the council<br />

could do nothing “from a<br />

Resource Management Act<br />

standpoint,” to remove the current<br />

shed.<br />

New Zealand Transport<br />

ISSUE: A shed<br />

on Pocock<br />

Rd has the<br />

potential to<br />

cause harm.<br />

Agency media manager Frances<br />

Adank said roading contractors<br />

had not advised the organisation<br />

of any shed thought to be<br />

endangering motorists in that<br />

location.<br />

“We would be interested to<br />

hear more from the community<br />

board.”<br />

NZTA would have to work<br />

with the council to remove the<br />

shed as it was on private land,<br />

she said.<br />

Local<br />

News<br />

Now<br />

Have your say<br />

on speed limits<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

SELWYN RESIDENTS can now<br />

have their say on speeds in the<br />

district.<br />

The district council approved a<br />

draft revised speed limit bylaw for<br />

public consultation at its meeting<br />

last week.<br />

The revised bylaw will ensure<br />

the district council meets its<br />

legal obligations for setting speed<br />

limits, and will bring the bylaw<br />

up to date with best practice, New<br />

Zealand Transport Agency and<br />

legal requirements.<br />

It also approved a range of<br />

speed limit changes for public<br />

consultation. These are mainly<br />

around schools and follow a prior<br />

round of speed limit changes late<br />

last year.<br />

Changes to some 70km/h zones<br />

are also proposed, in line with<br />

NZTA guidelines.<br />

Consultation on both the bylaw<br />

and the speed limit changes are<br />

open until February.<br />

The proposed speed limit<br />

changes include reducing speed<br />

limits around school frontages<br />

to 40 km/h and a variable<br />

40km/h school zone speed limit<br />

on Weedons Ross Rd fronting<br />

Big turnout for successful Highland<br />

STRENGTH: Jayden Hill competes in the sheaf toss.<br />

ANOTHER successful Hororata<br />

Highland Games has been<br />

completed with more than 9000<br />

people attending the eighth<br />

annual event.<br />

Visitors watched highland<br />

dancers fling, drum majors twirl<br />

their maces and strong men and<br />

women compete in eight disciplines.<br />

Many visitors themselves had a<br />

go at tossing a caber, discovering<br />

Celtic culture in amongst the 120<br />

stalls and were delighted with entertainment<br />

throughout the day.<br />

The event, staged by the<br />

Hororata Community Trust,<br />

was held under sunny skies on<br />

Saturday after a huge amount of<br />

rain saw widespread flooding in<br />

other parts of the South Island on<br />

Friday.<br />

Event manager Cindy Driscoll<br />

said set up for the event took<br />

a whole week and it knew the<br />

weather was going to be a challenge<br />

with the heavy rain on<br />

Thursday and Friday.<br />

“The team rose to this challenge<br />

and were well prepared. We are<br />

very lucky with the Hororata<br />

Domain as a venue as it coped with<br />

the amount of rain we received<br />

on the Friday with surface water<br />

draining away by the time the<br />

gates opened on Saturday,” she<br />

said.<br />

BIG DAY: More than 9000<br />

people attended the eighth<br />

annual Hororata Highland<br />

Games.<br />

Mrs Driscoll said with Kiwi<br />

ingenuity and teamwork the event<br />

“went off without a hitch” and<br />

many visitors were pleasantly surprised<br />

with how good the grounds<br />

were.<br />

The event was opened by<br />

Chieftain Patrick Hellier, New<br />

Zealand’s highest achieving Highland<br />

Games heavy athlete.<br />

“It was great for me to experience<br />

the full festival surrounding<br />

the heavy arena where I normally<br />

spend most of my time,” he said.<br />

Mr Hellier said being welcomed<br />

onto the stage by local kapa haka<br />

group and saluted by the bands<br />

was an experience he would never<br />

forget.<br />

More than 500 competitors<br />

competed in 12 competitive<br />

events, including the tug of war,<br />

sack carry and small-bore rifle<br />

shooting.<br />

The Gough CAT Oceania<br />

heavyweight championship was<br />

won by Jono McFarlane.<br />

Julie Stechmann won the<br />

amateur heavy women’s championship<br />

and Brian Reeves won the<br />

men’s.<br />

The champion highland dancer<br />

was Danielle Joy and champion<br />

pipe band was Canterbury Caledonian<br />

Society’s Highland Pipe<br />

Band.<br />

The Darfield High School team<br />

won the Harraways junior warriors<br />

inter-school competition and<br />

the Average Joes from Christchurch<br />

took out the trophy pull in<br />

the Southfuels tug of war.<br />

Hororata’s 15-year-old Harry<br />

Cookson won the <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

<strong>Times</strong> kilted mile. This running<br />

race is not the normal mile as<br />

competitors have to jump over<br />

obstacles, eat, drink and run.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> Sounds<br />

HOMECOMING: Jon Stevens will perform at <strong>Selwyn</strong> Sounds in March.<br />

Stevens coming home<br />

to play in NZ for first<br />

time in five years<br />

One of New Zealand’s most successful musical exports Jon Stevens<br />

will perform in the country for the first time in four years at <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

Sounds. Matt Salmons caught up him about coming home and<br />

supporting rural Australia<br />

JON STEVENS will not be in his<br />

homeland long for his performance<br />

at <strong>Selwyn</strong> Sounds – but his first New<br />

Zealand gig in five years will recharge<br />

him, he says.<br />

The Upper Hutt-born rocker will fly out<br />

the day after <strong>Selwyn</strong> Sounds to meet commitments<br />

at the Red Hot Summer Tour in<br />

Australia.<br />

Stevens said the Australian tour organisers<br />

had tried to convince him to pull out<br />

of <strong>Selwyn</strong> Sounds.<br />

“I said ‘no way’. I’m not going to opt out<br />

of a New Zealand show, sorry boys,” he<br />

said.<br />

As well as a “frantic” live performance<br />

schedule this year, Stevens said he started<br />

work on his 11th album in January, with a<br />

view to release it in mid-2019.<br />

It will feature his latest song, Rain Down<br />

On Me, released on October 26 to support<br />

drought-stricken farmers in Australia.<br />

He also performed at the Hay Mate concert<br />

on October 27, which raised money<br />

for Australian charity Rural Aid.<br />

“It was great to be a part of it and help<br />

people,” Stevens said.<br />

He said the song, written in January,<br />

fitted the situation as it spoke of a struggle,<br />

but also of hope on the horizon. All proceeds<br />

from the song go to Rural Aid.<br />

“I’m just going to give it to the farmers<br />

and they can have every single cent that<br />

comes from it. That’s my way to help.”<br />

Although he visited family in Queenstown<br />

last year, the last time he performed<br />

in New Zealand was 2013 when he opened<br />

for Aerosmith in Dunedin as part of the<br />

Global Warming Tour.<br />

Stevens said he was most looking<br />

forward to “recharging” himself by reconnecting<br />

with his homeland.<br />

“Just putting my feet on the soil again,<br />

you know?”<br />

The youngest of 11, Stevens said he had<br />

“I’ve got a few cousins in Christchurch,<br />

so I’ll catch up with them, get a boil up<br />

Stevens’ career launched at the age of 16<br />

in 1980 with the release of Jezebel, which<br />

topped the New Zealand charts at the<br />

time.<br />

Since then, the performer has released<br />

10 studio albums, including band and solo<br />

work, working alongside some of the most<br />

well-known names in the music industry.<br />

Stevens said he found it “cute” that<br />

New Zealand fans still asked to hear his<br />

early releases “from my teenage era” and<br />

planned to keep his set list fluid and respond<br />

to the crowd.<br />

“Of course, we’ll play what the<br />

people want. I might play one new song.<br />

I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it,” he<br />

said.<br />

Our People<br />

Vanessa-Amy Greenwood<br />

was named the supreme<br />

winner for her design<br />

Pteraon at the Art<br />

Couture NZ wearable arts<br />

competition last month. The<br />

Southbridge mother keeps<br />

busy with art, gardening and<br />

working at the Rakaia Island<br />

dairy farm. Emily O’Connell<br />

talks to her about her<br />

passions<br />

Can you tell me a bit about<br />

entering the wearable arts<br />

competition?<br />

I decided to enter about a<br />

week before the due date and<br />

it was more a case of why not?<br />

I had made the garments and<br />

they were just sitting in the shed<br />

collecting bird poo so I thought<br />

why not, someone might enjoy<br />

them.<br />

Had you made the garments<br />

for the competition or was<br />

there something else you had<br />

used them for as well?<br />

I had made them originally for<br />

WOW but they wouldn’t have<br />

got in WOW.<br />

You didn’t end up entering<br />

WOW?<br />

No, I wimped out.<br />

Can you tell me about the two<br />

garments you made?<br />

Elixir is the one made from<br />

Nespresso coffee capsules. It<br />

was based on one of the old<br />

World Vision advertisements<br />

where they said for $1 a day we<br />

could help save a life and each<br />

coffee capsule costs about $1.<br />

So it was a food for thought<br />

sort of concept that we have our<br />

luxuries and other people don’t.<br />

And Pteraon is made out of<br />

inner tubes and paint, she was<br />

about something from out of<br />

this world. If there was another<br />

world it’s what I would like it to<br />

look like. The wings on her are<br />

more about me and how it would<br />

be nice to be able to spread your<br />

wings and sort of step out of<br />

comfort zones.<br />

How long did you spend on<br />

both of the entries?<br />

Pteraon, from the moment<br />

I started making her, took<br />

about 12 months. Elixir took<br />

18 months but that includes<br />

CREATIVE: Vanessa-Amy Greenwood standing in front of the mural she is painting for<br />

Southbridge School.<br />

collecting all the capsules as well<br />

because I didn’t drink all that<br />

coffee.<br />

Do you think you’ll enter it<br />

again next year?<br />

Yes.<br />

How did you feel when you<br />

were announced as the supreme<br />

winner?<br />

I was shell shocked. I really<br />

was. When I saw the calibre of<br />

work that was there I was really<br />

amazed. I couldn’t quite believe<br />

that they stood up against<br />

everybody else’s work. I didn’t<br />

believe it.<br />

Have you always been into<br />

design and fashion?<br />

If you saw what I wear every<br />

day you would know I’m not<br />

into fashion at all. I am very<br />

practical with what I wear, it’s<br />

all about comfort and what I’m<br />

doing but I love art and it’s just<br />

another form of art for me. I’ve<br />

got no skills in dressmaking or<br />

anything. I had to teach myself<br />

boning while I was going, just so<br />

Vanessa-Amy Greenwood<br />

For the love of art – a Southbridge mother’s<br />

I could achieve it.<br />

How did you learn the<br />

different arts skills you have?<br />

Trial and error. I failed art at<br />

school. In some respects I feel<br />

like “yeah see, you said I couldn’t<br />

do it.” I picked up a paintbrush<br />

after my daughter Bronte was<br />

born and she is 10-yearsold<br />

now. I’ve just practised I<br />

suppose.<br />

Would you say art is your<br />

passion?<br />

Yes. It’s sort of a bit like the<br />

SELWYN TIMES<br />

air that you breathe, if I’m not<br />

doing art, I don’t really feel like<br />

I’m living.<br />

What are some of the<br />

different forms of art you do?<br />

I paint backdrops and murals,<br />

I do topiary, like my garden is<br />

all topiary, I do resin work and<br />

I do oil painting. I’m teaching<br />

myself a bit of sculpture at the<br />

moment. I haven’t really stuck to<br />

one thing.<br />

Can you tell me about the<br />

mural you’re painting for<br />

Southbridge School?<br />

Well the school has its 150th<br />

jubilee coming up so they<br />

wanted a mural to go on one of<br />

their walls outside, they wanted<br />

it to include their five values . . .<br />

I’ve had to move away from what<br />

my normal type of art is which<br />

is all very freehand and this one<br />

is very bold, bright colours but<br />

in blocks and more symbolism<br />

to go with the silhouettes of<br />

children’s face as well.<br />

How long have you lived in<br />

Southbridge?<br />

15 years.<br />

Why did you move to<br />

Southbridge? Where did you<br />

come from?<br />

I grew up at Living Springs<br />

and I changed from being a<br />

hairdresser to dairy farming and<br />

met my husband Mike who was<br />

from Sedgemere.<br />

How do you find living in<br />

Southbridge? Do you enjoy it?<br />

Yes, actually I really do.<br />

I miss the hills but living in<br />

Southbridge is such a lovely,<br />

tight-knit community. There’s<br />

also someone you can count<br />

on. It’s a safe place for children,<br />

people look out for them.<br />

Why the change from<br />

hairdressing to farming?<br />

I wanted to be outdoors. I’m<br />

not very good at being indoors.<br />

How did you find the<br />

change?<br />

It had its challenges. Like in<br />

my first week it rained and you<br />

know, I had to get wet weather<br />

gear for the first time in my life.<br />

But being able to get up and see<br />

the sunrise was probably the best<br />

thing about it, even now I still<br />

love being able to watch the sun<br />

rise.

creative journey<br />

Can you tell me a bit about the<br />

work you do now on the Rakaia<br />

Island dairy farm?<br />

I don’t actually work with the<br />

livestock any more. I plant and<br />

maintain the native plantings<br />

they have there for environmental<br />

advancement.<br />

What made you get into<br />

planting?<br />

I’m very passionate about our<br />

environment and recycling. I<br />

know that a lot of the plants I’m<br />

putting in now I will never see<br />

them at their full glory but my<br />

child will and her children will. To<br />

know that we’re sort of helping the<br />

environment for our children and<br />

future generations is what really<br />

drives me to do it. And I get to see<br />

all the bird life which I love.<br />

Obviously art’s a huge passion<br />

of yours, what are some of your<br />

other hobbies?<br />

Gardening is probably my other<br />

main hobby.<br />

How long do you spend in the<br />

garden?<br />

It’s a bit embarrassing. I can<br />

forget that it’s dinner time. My<br />

husband asked me to start wearing<br />

a hi-vis so he can find me in the<br />

garden because I just stay out<br />

there. It’s nothing for me to end<br />

up with a head lamp on my head<br />

and keep going. But I’m like that<br />

when I’m doing any of my art,<br />

time disappears on me. I have<br />

no concept of it at all. You sort of<br />

get lost in your own world while<br />

you’re doing it.<br />

Are there any goals you’re<br />

wanting to achieve with your<br />

design or your garden?<br />

I would love to see a garment get<br />

to WOW. Win or lose I wouldn’t<br />

mind, I just want to see it come to<br />

life on-stage. My art, I would love<br />

to paint murals and backdrops for<br />

the rest of my life and I would be<br />

happy. If I could paint every day<br />

for the rest of my life I think that<br />

would be the happiest life I could<br />

have.<br />

Is there anything you would<br />

like to add, which I haven’t<br />

asked?<br />

I have depression and I’ve had<br />

depression for 10 years and for me<br />

to step outside of my comfort zone<br />

has been the biggest challenge I’ve<br />

ever faced particularly with the<br />

Art Couture. That was terrifying.<br />

I had people to support me and<br />

people who say: “You can do it.”<br />

If I hadn’t had people around me<br />

that were so supportive I would<br />

never have managed to do it but<br />

the feeling you get from achieving<br />

it, it was well worth the panic<br />

attacks.<br />

What’s your advice to other<br />

people who have depression?<br />

Some days are a big struggle but<br />

celebrate every small achievement.<br />

Sometimes getting out of bed is<br />

the biggest achievement of the day<br />

but you did it.<br />

Do you find your art helps with<br />

your depression?<br />

Absolutely. I honestly think it’s<br />

a form of therapy. I would love to<br />

be able to do something like that<br />

with people and help them. It just<br />

frees your mind up and you stop<br />

thinking about all your problems.<br />

INTEREST: Six <strong>Selwyn</strong> schools attended the <strong>Selwyn</strong>-Waihora zone committee meeting last week. ​<br />

Pupils look to nature at water<br />

zone committee meeting<br />

SELWYN-WAIHORA water<br />

zone committee’s meeting took<br />

on a decidedly youthful look<br />

last week.<br />

In a first for Canterbury –<br />

and possibly New Zealand<br />

– school pupils were invited to<br />

participate fully in the proceedings<br />

of a water zone committee.<br />

Welcoming the pupils, committee<br />

chairman Allen Lim said<br />

it was “great” to see so many<br />

young people coming together<br />

to discuss the important issues<br />

of freshwater management and<br />

biodiversity.<br />

“These face-to-face conversations<br />

and the people element<br />

are critical in a collaborative<br />

process like this,” he said.<br />

The participating schools,<br />

Burnham, Ladbrooks, Lincoln<br />

Primary, Prebbleton, Rolleston<br />

Christian and Springston,<br />

are all Enviroschools. This<br />

means they have committed to<br />

creating a healthy, peaceful and<br />

sustainable world via “action<br />

learning”, where generations<br />

work with and learn from<br />

nature.<br />

Enviroschools facilitator Matt<br />

Stanford and Lou Drage from<br />

Te Ara Kakariki shared their<br />

collaborative Kids Discovery<br />

Plant-outs initiative, working<br />

with nearby Enviroschools to<br />

connect them with restoration<br />

projects close to their schools.<br />

Key to their success is the authentic<br />

contexts for learning the<br />

programme provides. One example<br />

was Rolleston Christian<br />

School supporting dairy farmer<br />

Adele Well to restore a riparian<br />

margin on her farm.<br />

The pupils and parents helped<br />

plant 420 eco-sourced native<br />

plants beside the Hororata<br />

River. The pupils are now keen<br />

to learn how to fence.<br />

Each school had an opportunity<br />

to share information about<br />

their freshwater and biodiversity<br />

projects and discuss issues<br />

that are important to them.<br />

Ladbrooks School gave the<br />

example of a bug hotel and<br />

bird and bug forest, Prebbleton<br />

School talked about recycled<br />

tyres being used as seats and<br />

Rolleston Christian School<br />

discussed hydroponics and<br />

beeswax wraps.<br />

Environment Canterbury<br />

Programme manager Caroline<br />

Hart applauded the initiative<br />

and hoped it could be transferable.<br />

“They’re at the heart<br />

of effective community<br />

participation in decisions<br />

affecting water in their areas.<br />

It’s critical that the youth voice<br />

is heard – they’re the ones<br />

who will carry our plans and<br />

aspirations into the future,” she<br />

said.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

Tsunami test for emergency services<br />

• By Emily O’Connell<br />

A TSUNAMI exercise has been<br />

role-played in <strong>Selwyn</strong>.<br />

Emergency services, civil<br />

defence response team, community<br />

response team and welfare<br />

volunteers spent an evening recently<br />

“evacuating” areas within<br />

the tsunami zone and setting up<br />

emergency centres.<br />

District council<br />

property and commercial<br />

manager<br />

Douglas Marshall<br />

said the exercise<br />

was held to test its<br />

field resources in a<br />

Douglas<br />

Marshall<br />

tsunami situation.<br />

He said it runs different<br />

scenarios for<br />

its exercises such as earthquakes<br />

and snowstorms.<br />

“We generally run one exercise<br />

per year, sometimes more,” Mr<br />

Marshall said.<br />

As it was only an exercise,<br />

the public was not asked to<br />

evacuate.<br />

Environment Canterbury<br />

earthquake and tsunami hazard<br />

scientist Helen Jack said the “vast<br />

majority” of tsunamis <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

would experience are small and<br />

don’t inundate land.<br />

“The biggest impact for<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> then is that you could<br />

get the strong and unpredictable<br />

currents happening along the<br />

coast and especially at the river<br />

mouths,” she said.<br />

In the case of a very large<br />

tsunami, Ms Jack said fields<br />

could be flooded with saltwater<br />

and it could overrun low lying<br />

areas such as the Rakaia Huts or<br />

Taumutu.<br />

“Most tsunamis are small. . .<br />

but they still need to be taken<br />

seriously because if you’re in the<br />

water or on the beach, you can<br />

still get knocked off your feet,”<br />

she said.<br />

When it comes to a tsunami<br />

occurring along the coast of<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong>, south of Banks Peninsula,<br />

Ms Jack said they don’t<br />

have any evidence of recently<br />

active faults in that area and the<br />

EMERGENCY:<br />

A tsunami<br />

exercise<br />

took place<br />

in <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

recently to<br />

test field<br />

resources.<br />

chances of something happening<br />

are “very, very low.”<br />

She said most of <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s<br />

tsunamis come from other<br />

places, such as central or South<br />

America, and these would occur<br />

a few times a decade.<br />

The scenario practised recently<br />

was a tsunami generated from an<br />

earthquake off the cost of Peru.<br />

Mr Marshall said they cannot<br />

predict the exact damage a tsunami<br />

would cause to <strong>Selwyn</strong>, as<br />

each one is different, but people<br />

would need to go to the evacuation<br />

zones.<br />

“In a tsunami that inundates<br />

land there can be significant<br />

damage to buildings, crops, and<br />

infrastructure,” Mr Marshall<br />

said.<br />

Lincoln chief fire officer<br />

Jeremy Greenwood said the<br />

exercise was “really good” and it<br />

was “well done.”<br />

He said the Lincoln crew was<br />

based at both Greenpark huts<br />

and <strong>Selwyn</strong> huts and it was going<br />

through how it would evacuate<br />

the different areas, liaising<br />

with volunteers and setting up<br />

evacuation centres.<br />

“It was good to see everyone<br />

work together. Hopefully, if it<br />

does happen, we will be well prepared,”<br />

Mr Greenwood said.<br />

Leeston and Southbridge fire<br />

brigades also helped during the<br />

exercise.<br />

Mr Marshall said in the event<br />

of a tsunami or risk of one,<br />

people should evacuate “quickly<br />

and safely,” help neighbours,<br />

follow instructions from civil<br />

defence and emergency services<br />

and if possible, stay with family<br />

and friends.<br />

WELCOME TO HIRE A HUBBY<br />

BRUCE WOODGATE<br />

Bruce Woodgate is our new Hire A Hubby<br />

franchisee in <strong>Selwyn</strong>. He has joined the<br />

network of over 50 Hubby’s working throughout<br />

New Zealand and is looking forward to caring for<br />

customers from Prebbleton to Arthur’s Pass and all<br />

the areas in-between.<br />

Bruce will be easy to spot driving his distinctive<br />

black Hire A Hubby ute, and he is especially looking<br />

forward to being able to provide a good honest<br />

service and a friendly smile, as well as seeing the<br />

satisfaction of happy customers and a job well done.<br />

Bruce has always had a love of building, landscaping,<br />

home maintenance and renovation, and after an<br />

extensive career in building, scaffolding, landscaping<br />

and project management, he has decided that it is<br />

time to turn his skills into a business.<br />

Bruce is helped by his wife Sue, who is also a skilled<br />

project manager and together they enjoy solving<br />

problems and bringing great outcomes together for<br />

their customers. Bruce is able to complete a wide<br />

range of jobs to improve your property, including<br />

everything from those annoyingly tricky installation<br />

jobs, to a new deck, fence or a complete home<br />

renovation.<br />

Originally from the UK, Bruce loves living in<br />

Prebbleton and along with Sue is dedicated to<br />

building their business in the local community.<br />

Bruce plans to use his extensive DIY knowledge<br />

accumulated over the years to benefit the<br />

customers in his community.<br />

Demand for professional home maintenance and<br />

renovation services has grown significantly since<br />

Hire A Hubby started in New Zealand in 1998. These<br />

days people are time-poor or simply don’t have the<br />

range of skills or specialist equipment required to<br />

complete projects on their own.<br />

Bruce says, “My priority is to provide a top-quality<br />

service, and to back that up all Hire A Hubby work<br />

carries a guarantee. At the end of the day, it’s all<br />

about taking away the stress so that you can sit<br />

back and enjoy your home, knowing that the<br />

maintenance is taken care of!”<br />

“I want customers to enjoy the whole experience<br />

of dealing with Hire A Hubby as easy, stress free<br />

and rewarding. While some people can find DIY a<br />

difficult, time consuming process, I want people<br />

to feel confident to ask me to complete even the<br />

smallest task”<br />

We can handle it all and if any additional specialist<br />

tradesmen are needed then we can arrange them<br />

for you as well.<br />

Hundreds set to attend Southbridge 150th<br />

More than 600 people<br />

are expected to come<br />

together to mark<br />

Southbridge School’s<br />

150th jubilee next week<br />

PREPARATIONS TO celebrate<br />

the significant milestone from<br />

<strong>November</strong> 23-25 started two<br />

years ago with the forming of<br />

a committee to organise and<br />

oversee the celebratory activities.<br />

Committee chairwoman Carey<br />

Barnett said it has received an<br />

overwhelming uptake that has<br />

exceeded expectations.<br />

“It’s wonderful to have<br />

over 600 people registered to<br />

attend various events over the<br />

weekend,” she said.<br />

Southbridge School opened on<br />

April 27, 1868, after a number of<br />

Southbridge residents presented<br />

a memorial to the Board of<br />

Education and a public meeting<br />

was held at the Southbridge<br />

Hotel.<br />

At the time, householders of<br />

the area had to provide £50 per<br />

householder and the education<br />

board funded another £150 for<br />

each subscribing householder in<br />

order to provide a school room<br />

and the schoolmaster’s residence.<br />

Once the buildings were<br />

arranged, the school committee<br />

was allowed to advertise for<br />

CURRENT: Southbridge School will mark its 150 years next weekend.<br />

the schoolmaster’s position at a<br />

salary of not less than £100 per<br />

year.<br />

The education board paid £75<br />

of this amount and the rest was<br />

provided by local contributions.<br />

The opening roll of the school<br />

was 20, but this quickly rose to<br />

32 within a few months. The<br />

school roll peaked in 1891 at 389.<br />

In 1903, the school established<br />

a secondary department which<br />

initially consisted of 30-40<br />

students.<br />

The school then became<br />

known as Southbridge District<br />

High School and served<br />

secondary students from further<br />

afield until the end of 1980<br />

when Ellesmere College was<br />

established.<br />

The primary school remained<br />

and is still going today, nestled<br />

in the sumptuous surrounds on<br />

Hastings St.<br />

Steeped in history, the school<br />

still hosts pupils in classrooms<br />

that were built in 1927 but have<br />

since been modified to meet<br />

changes in schooling methods.<br />

The ‘leaver’s fence’ which<br />

adorns the front of the school<br />

grounds boosts some of New<br />

Zealand’s finest sporting figures.<br />

It includes former All<br />

Blacks Doug Bruce, Albert<br />

Anderson and Daniel Carter,<br />

Commonwealth gold medallist<br />

for shooting Graeme Ede, New<br />

Zealand volleyball and women’s<br />

rugby player Kimberley Smith,<br />

Residents say <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

still ‘a great place’<br />

Consultation opens on draft<br />

Parking Strategy<br />

Public consultation is now open for the Council’s Draft Parking<br />

Strategy which aims to manage the district’s parking in an equitable<br />

and coherent way.<br />

The Draft Parking Strategy sets out ways to manage parking for<br />

different parts of the <strong>Selwyn</strong> district, particularly in larger town centres<br />

such as Rolleston and Lincoln. It provides for both private and public<br />

parking, and links with the Council’s other transport strategies.<br />

The need for the Draft Parking Strategy is a signal of the impact<br />

of growth in the district. With that growth comes the demand to<br />

manage parking that works for growing residential communities<br />

and an expanding business sector, as well as our rural areas. This<br />

strategy is about ensuring that the parking system provides safe,<br />

efficient access to services and destinations, and allows <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s<br />

townships to thrive.<br />

The Council is inviting residents to provide their feedback on the<br />

Draft Parking Strategy from Friday 9 <strong>November</strong> <strong>2018</strong> to 5pm on<br />

Friday 7 December <strong>2018</strong>.<br />

Parks and reserves<br />

Friendly communities, good services and facilities, peaceful, open spaces, events and activities,<br />

and feeling safe – these are just a few of the reasons why most local people enjoy living in <strong>Selwyn</strong>.<br />

The Council’s <strong>2018</strong> annual residents survey shows that 91% of people surveyed agreed that<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> was ‘a great place to live’ – the same proportion as last year.<br />

A majority of residents also gave the thumbs-up to the services and facilities that the Council<br />

provides, with 69% of residents rating the Council’s overall performance as good or very good,<br />

similar to last year’s 70%.<br />

The result continues a long-term trend which has seen the overall performance rating increase<br />

steadily from 58% in 2013.<br />

Among the services that respondents rated most highly were rubbish collection (95% rated good<br />

or very good), recycling (94%), parks and reserves (85%), libraries (84%), and water supply (76%).<br />

Across the 24 different Council services surveyed, the biggest increases in satisfaction were<br />

recorded for organic waste collection (up 4%), making roads and footpaths safer (up 3%), and<br />

playgrounds (up 3%).<br />

Services which saw a significant decrease in satisfaction included water races (down 6%), public<br />

toilets (down 6%), cemeteries (down 5%), land drainage (down 5%), the resource recovery park<br />

down 5%), and sewerage and waste water (down 4%).<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> Mayor Sam Broughton says it’s no surprise that people feel positive about the district.<br />

“<strong>Selwyn</strong> has a lot to offer – thriving townships, a growing economy, good schools and services<br />

and a stunning environment right in our back yard,” he says.<br />

“It’s great to hear that most residents think the Council is doing a good job overall, but it’s also<br />

important to get feedback on the areas where need to lift our game. We do take careful note of the<br />

findings of this survey each year, and look at how we might need to shift our priorities to provide<br />

better service in key areas.”<br />

The survey was carried out in June and July by independent research company Research First,<br />

and surveyed 421 people using telephone, cellphone and online surveys to provide a statistically<br />

representative sample of <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s population.<br />

The full residents’ survey is available at: www.selwyn.govt.nz/residents-survey<br />

New tsunami plan effective<br />

Council’s new tsunami plan was tested during a scenario exercise<br />

held recently.<br />

The exercise was an opportunity to test the Council’s recently<br />

updated <strong>Selwyn</strong> Tsunami Plan. The tsunami scenario, run by the<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> Civil Defence Emergency Management, involved testing<br />

how emergency services and community volunteers would evacuate<br />

people from a specific zone (Orange Zone). No one was actually<br />

told to leave their homes during the exercise.<br />

The exercise also tested Civil Defence and emergency services’<br />

processes and procedures during such an event as well as that of<br />

the <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s Response Team, Welfare Team and local community<br />

response volunteers from all over the district.<br />

Council Emergency Management Officer Ryan O’Rourke says the<br />

exercise proved that the plan is effective, and also helped to identify<br />

a number of small improvements.<br />

“This was a great example of community involvement in Civil<br />

Defence and of residents looking after their neighbours,” Mr<br />

O’Rourke says. “It’s the second tsunami exercise we’ve run in the<br />

last few months – the previous exercise involved the Emergency<br />

Operations Centre (EOC) only. This one involved the EOC<br />

coordinating with resources out on the ground, such as Fire and<br />

Emergency NZ local brigades.”<br />

SPEED LIMIT BYLAW REVIEW<br />

Public consultation is now open<br />

set and managed.<br />

As part of the consultation,<br />

the Council is also proposing<br />

changes to School Zones speed<br />

limits, and changes to some 100,<br />

80 and 70km/hr speed limits in<br />

other areas. Submissions are<br />

invited which will be considered<br />

by Council prior to adopting the<br />

proposed Bylaw.<br />

Time to report potholes<br />

Weedons<br />

Residents’<br />

Association<br />

secretary<br />

Gary Doyle<br />

writes<br />

about<br />

potholes in<br />

the district<br />

and what<br />

residents should do about<br />

them<br />

POTHOLES ARE the bane<br />

of every driver or cyclists life.<br />

They are surely one of the most<br />

hated things that we all have to<br />

endure.<br />

However, what can we or even<br />

what do we do to try and eradicate<br />

these annoying obstacles to<br />

our daily life?<br />

For the most part we do nothing,<br />

they need fixing, the council<br />

should do something about<br />

them, but they do nothing. That<br />

is the cry you hear again and<br />

again, but I will ask the question,<br />

what do you do, or for that<br />

matter what should you do?<br />

Over the past few years I will<br />

readily admit that I have been<br />

slack in this area of reporting<br />

potholes. The answer to can we<br />

get them fixed is not all that<br />

difficult, a quick phone call to<br />

council and the relevant pothole<br />

can be logged into the system for<br />

PROBLEM: Weedons Residents’ Association secretary Gary<br />

Doyle is encouraging residents to report potholes rather than<br />

just complain. ​<br />

remedial action.<br />

But how many people do this,<br />

very few, unfortunately, me included<br />

I am sorry to say, time to<br />

change that. To report a pothole<br />

or any other issue, phone 347<br />

2800 and ask for the help desk.<br />

Remember that we all live in<br />

the district and it is beholden<br />

on all of us to try and make<br />

the experiences as pleasant as<br />

possible. The attitude of “not my<br />

problem” is also not helpful.<br />

The old saying of “a stitch in<br />

time saves nine” is very relevant<br />

when dealing with these issues.<br />

A simple quick fix on a small<br />

pothole may well actually save a<br />

vehicle from serious damage or<br />

even a life.<br />

We pay rates to have these issues<br />

along with other remedied,<br />

but if we do nothing and just sit<br />

back then we have no grounds<br />

to complain if something goes<br />

wrong.<br />

So okay, let’s get a little active<br />

and report these blasted potholes<br />

and at least get rid of one<br />

hazard from our daily lives.<br />

BACKYARD CRITTERS<br />

Mike Bowie is an ecologist<br />

who specialises in<br />

entomology (insects and<br />

other invertebrates). Each<br />

THE KOWHAI moth, Uresiphita<br />

maorialis, is a native species<br />

found throughout New Zealand<br />

from October to March.<br />

It is also found in Africa,<br />

Europe, Sri Lanka, and the<br />

Pacific, including Hawaii.<br />

The moths are triangular in<br />

shape when resting and have a<br />

pointed head. The forewings are<br />

variable in markings and colour<br />

but are usually brown, and have a<br />

wingspan of 27mm.<br />

with black spots and feed on<br />

Kirkwood Opportunities<br />

‘Schooling for the Whole Child’<br />

At Kirkwood we are very proud of our children and their achievements. Our pupils have many opportunities to participate<br />

in a wide range of education activities including Technology; ICT; Music; Drama; Education Outside The Classroom;<br />

Leadership roles; Camps; Academic challenges; and Sports. Our pupils develop a wide range of skills which helps them<br />

develop educationally, socially, emotionally and physically during their time with us. Just a few of the opportunities our<br />

pupils have experienced this year are as follows:<br />

Education Outside the<br />

Classroom<br />

We visit many different places within our community<br />

such as Canterbury Museum, Riccarton House<br />

and the Art Gallery. We also offer class camps for<br />

our Year 7 and Year 8 pupils. This year our Year<br />

7’s camped at Purau Bay where they experienced<br />

canoeing, abseiling and camping skills, along<br />

with getting to know their class and developing<br />

friendships.<br />

Our Year 8 pupils are currently enjoying their<br />

Wellington camp. These camps provide<br />

great opportunities for learning and personal<br />

development.<br />

China Trip<br />

Part way through the July school holidays, Ethan, Brooke, Aaliya, Casper,<br />

Mackenzie, Lauren, Ryan, Alexander, Katie and Grace and two teachers<br />

had the opportunity to explore China. This was the first Panda camp we<br />

have attended.<br />

The following article was written by Katie and Alex:<br />

‘The Temple of Heaven, the Pearl Markets, the Summer Palace and<br />

seeing the general lifestyle of the Chinese people. They were able to see<br />

some beautiful buildings with long, rich histories of emperors and different<br />

dynasties. Haggling is common at the Pearl Markets and was a very<br />

different experience for us, which encouraged us to quickly learn about<br />

converting yuan into New Zealand dollars to get a good price. We also<br />

really enjoyed the boat ride across the Emperor’s lake; there have been<br />

many great memories made as a group.<br />

Our days at the Chinese school were busy - making new friends, teaching<br />

rakau and the cup song, learning Chinese calligraphy and songs as well as<br />

experiencing a huge school cafeteria, which was a very different experience!<br />

It was a great opportunity to see how school works in a different country<br />

and try new things. We all enjoyed teaching physical education games such<br />

as elastics and a football/badminton game that we pretty much invented.<br />

Duck, duck, goose was also a favourite amongst the pupils in China!<br />

We were fortunate to continue to travel and see incredible sights such as<br />

The Great Wall of China, where we were all able to walk a section. Another<br />

highlight was the Beijing Zoo, it was a great chance to see some rare<br />

animals but the living conditions were very sad. In addition to these places<br />

we also visited the 2008 Olympic venues, the Water Cube and the Bird’s<br />

Nest, as well as the Olympic torch and Olympic Village areas which we<br />

found to be interesting. Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City also<br />

hold important places in Chinese history and often we were in awe of how<br />

immense these places are in addition to hearing about the incredible history<br />

behind the building of these structures. The National Museum of China was<br />

also very impressive in both the artwork and size of the building!<br />

We will all recall some amazing chances to explore a different culture, some<br />

interesting memories for us as Kirkwood United and the opportunity to<br />

represent Kirkwood with pride as global youth ambassadors. We would like<br />

to say a huge thank you to Miss Toaolamai and Mr Gaut for their support<br />

on the trip. Thank you to our parents for encouraging us to take up such an<br />

awesome opportunity. We all had an amazing time and hope to see more<br />

Kirkwood students exploring the world in years to come!<br />

Sports<br />

We participate in a large variety of sports including: Netball, Football, Cross<br />

Country, Skiing, Swimming, Rugby, Basketball, Waterpolo, Touch Rugby, Korf<br />

Ball, Table Tennis, Badminton, Athletics and Gymnastics. We also compete in<br />

the Canterbury Association of Intermediate and Middle Schooling competitions.<br />

Our school is well known for the courtesy, co-operation and sportsmanship<br />

of our teams and we value this highly. Some of the highlights this year are as<br />

follows:<br />

Example from last year:<br />

Korfball Tournament - We sent two teams to the Canterbury Korfball<br />

Tournament. Bowls Tournament - we had 12 successfully compete at the<br />

Canterbury Bowls Tournament. Table Tennis - 4 of our Table Tennis teams<br />

were placed in the top 3 of their weekly competition. Girls’ Basketball team<br />

were placed third in their Friday evening competition.<br />

Many of our pupils have been selected to represent Canterbury and/or have<br />

been selected for the Nationals in various sports which makes our school proud.<br />

Technology<br />

Our on-site technology centre provides our pupils<br />

with a range of creative learning experiences in<br />

different areas: Foods, Electronics, Robotics and<br />

Materials (metal, wood, fabric and plastic). Our<br />

pupils have created a large variety of work this<br />

year. We also participate in Robofest, Future in<br />

Tech programmes, EPro8 and 3D printing.<br />

Programmes focus on Planning for Practice, Brief<br />

Development and Outcome Evaluation.<br />

ICT: We have pods of touch screen laptops,<br />

ordinary laptops and Chromebooks<br />

for classroom use to enable pupils<br />

to develop their skills. Pupils are<br />

also welcome to bring their own<br />

technology. More pupils are doing<br />

this each year. We recommend that<br />

parents check which devices are<br />

used at the High School they think<br />

their children will be attending.<br />

Blues Awards<br />

Outstanding achievements, whether they<br />

are personal or at school, are celebrated<br />

via our Blues Awards system. Our<br />

students can achieve a Blues Award in<br />

various areas such as Cultural, Sports<br />

and Academic.<br />

An Outstanding Elite Blues Award may<br />

be achieved if a student has achieved an<br />

Academic, Cultural and a Sporting Blue.<br />

There are quite strict criteria for receiving<br />

a Blue and these are outlined on our<br />

website www.kirkwood.school.nz<br />

School Production<br />

Every second year we produce a school<br />

performance for all interested pupils. Our<br />

next School Production will be in 2019.<br />

Don’t forget, there are still some places available for Year 7 and Year 8 for 2019.<br />

New coaches eye up more titles for Lincoln Uni<br />

• By Gordon Findlater<br />

Wednesday <strong>November</strong> <strong>14</strong> <strong>2018</strong><br />

NEW HEAD coach Alex<br />

Robertson and assistant Craig<br />

Dunlea will look to guide<br />

Lincoln University to a fifth<br />

straight metro rugby title next<br />

year.<br />

The pair come to Lincoln with<br />

some country rugby flavour,<br />

having both been involved in<br />

Canterbury Country’s rugby<br />

programme in recent years.<br />

Robertson and Dunlea take<br />

over from Bevan Sissons and<br />

Ben Blair who guided the side to<br />

victory this year.<br />

“Ben and Bevan didn’t want to<br />

continue. They’ve served Lincoln<br />

very well over the last few years,”<br />

said Lincoln University sport<br />

scholarship manager Peter<br />

Magson.<br />

Sissons has taken up a<br />

coaching role with Burnside,<br />

while Blair has done the same at<br />

Marist Albion.<br />

Robertson has spent the last<br />

two years as co-coach at Darfield<br />

and head coach of the Ellesmere<br />

senior side. Last year he was also<br />

an assistant coach at Canterbury<br />

professional rugby in New<br />

Zealand and overseas before<br />

becoming involved in coaching<br />

at Mid-Canterbury.<br />

He has also coached the New<br />

“The bar is already set very<br />

be a lot of pressure to keep this<br />

going. But with some great<br />

foundations already in place, it<br />

is important that we keep the<br />

momentum going and keep<br />

trying to add to that success in<br />

the future,” said Dunlea.<br />

“I really like the challenge<br />

of developing the players to<br />

become better, which will put<br />

them in contention for higher<br />

achievements.”<br />

Motoring<br />

• By Ross Kiddie<br />

VOLKSWAGEN’S Golf GTi<br />

has had a strong following from<br />

those who like to be driving a hot<br />

hatchback.<br />

The legendary sports car has<br />

an enviable reputation for performance<br />

and is certainly on my list<br />

of desirables but at almost $60k it<br />

is probably out of reach for many<br />

– including me.<br />

However, Volkswagen has<br />

another desirable hot hatch in its<br />

books – the Polo GTi. The Polo<br />

in this form is a vibrant, fivedoor<br />

modelled on the lines of<br />

its Golf stablemate, albeit with a<br />

$21,000 price difference.<br />

Of course, you don’t get all<br />

the trick stuff of Golf GTi, but<br />

the Polo equivalent is still well<br />

specced, powerful and light, the<br />

combination providing the ingredients<br />

for sporty ability.<br />

Under the bonnet of the Polo<br />

GTi sits a 2-litre, turbocharged<br />

engine which develops <strong>14</strong>7kW<br />

and 320Nm. While they may seem<br />

average outputs compared to many<br />

of the high performing models<br />

which make up this part of the<br />

market, the Polo GTi is a quick<br />

car. It develops a lot of torque low<br />

down (1500rpm-4400rpm), these<br />

figures meeting the low point of<br />

maximum power at 4400rpm.<br />

Consequently, it is swift off the<br />

mark and will lunge to high speeds<br />

quickly. For the record, it will<br />

make 100km/h from a standstill<br />

in 6.7sec, and will scorch through<br />

a highway overtake in 4.4sec<br />

(80km/h to 120km/h).<br />

The test car was fitted with a sixspeed<br />

direct shift gearbox, effectively<br />

that means it’s an automatic.<br />

It is a quick-shifting transmission<br />

with ratios that enhance engine<br />

performance, they are low in the<br />

first three or four slots, broadening<br />

to provide relaxed highway motoring<br />

and fuel usage savings.<br />

Volkswagen claim a 5.9-litre<br />

per 100km/h (48mpg) combined<br />

cycle fuel usage rating, which<br />

sits well with the 7.2l/100km<br />

(39mpg) showing during testing<br />

time. Considering I was aggressive<br />

with the throttle, exploring<br />

its acceleration and performance<br />

potential frequently, those<br />

figures are commendable. At<br />

100km/h the engine is relaxed at<br />

just 1750rpm, returning a fabulous<br />

instantaneous readout of<br />

4.5l/100km (63mpg).<br />

However, such is the freerevving<br />

nature of the engine, fuel<br />

economy often gets ignored, the<br />

Polo has decisive response to<br />

accelerator input, it is feisty and<br />

downright keen to pull hard.<br />

The excitement from under the<br />

bonnet is matched by a firm-riding,<br />

sport-orientated suspension.<br />

The Polo’s set-up isn’t as sophisticated<br />

as that of the Golf GTi, and<br />

as its simplicity shows, the ride is<br />

a little harsh, there’s not a lot of<br />

compliance, but it is engineered<br />

towards a positive handling experience,<br />

and to that end it excels.<br />

However, the Polo GTi points<br />

and turns into a corner with decisive<br />

steering feel and kart-like<br />

stability. It is extremely nimble<br />

and agile, a lot of that thanks<br />

to the light weight of the car in<br />

total. At 1355kg it isn’t dragging<br />

around any excess, which means<br />

a high power-to-weight ratio,<br />

and with its angry engine sound<br />

and lovely, but subdued, exhaust<br />

crackle on gearshifts, the Polo<br />

GTi lures and entices the driver<br />

to explore its potential.<br />

I took the test car on a route<br />

which takes in a raft of corner<br />

types, and I couldn’t fault its<br />

poise and balance, it is a car<br />

which you just don’t want to get<br />

out of, such is its all round ability.<br />

• Fuel usage – 5.9l/100km<br />

At around $39k the Polo GTi<br />

also comes in with a good level of<br />

kit. I particularly like the tartan<br />

seats, they are very much a match<br />

for Golf GTi, alongside that, the<br />

Polo GTi also encapsulates a lot<br />

of what Volkswagen represents as<br />

a performance brand.<br />

The Polo has been used with<br />

considerable success in the World<br />

Rally Championship, and the<br />

GTi branding benefits from that<br />

exposure. With the way the Polo<br />

GTi looks and the inclusion of<br />

features such as a built-in stopwatch<br />

you could almost believe it<br />

is meant for competition.<br />

It’s most certainly an exciting<br />

car to be behind the wheel of,<br />

and at its price point it is also a<br />

realistic opportunity for those<br />

who like something different in a<br />

sports car.

Gardening<br />

• By Henri Ham<br />

LUPINS ARE one of our most<br />

popular cottage garden flowers<br />

and it’s not hard to see why.<br />

Their impressive flower spires<br />

with closed, baby bonnet-type<br />

petals will brighten up any<br />

garden. And their many shades<br />

of blues, violets, pinks and white<br />

– all enhanced by vibrant green<br />

foliage – inject fantastic colour.<br />

But what I also like about<br />

lupins is that they are relatively<br />

laid back. They don’t require a<br />

perfectly fertilised, mulched and<br />

dug-over soil to start out on. A<br />

moderately fertile (at best) bed<br />

of soil is just fine. A bit sandy<br />

– even better. In fact, I often suggest<br />

lupins to my lesser-inclined<br />

green-fingered friends as they<br />

cope well with less love.<br />

I like to plant lupins in my<br />

cottage garden flower bed. I<br />

plant them alongside hollyhocks<br />

(another much taller statuesque<br />

flower), delphiniums, marigolds<br />

and poppies.<br />

If you’re not sure on what<br />

combo you should be doing, how<br />

about a mix.<br />

While lupins are laid back,<br />

they do still like a nice, sunny,<br />

well-drained spot to grow.<br />

Plant the seedlings or plants<br />

50cm apart give them a decent<br />

watering as soon as they’re<br />

planted. After this only water<br />

every few days.<br />

Lupins grow a taproot, which<br />

is a main root growing straight<br />

down. Because of this, pots are<br />

not their first choice of growing<br />

location. And they also don’t<br />

cope well with clay, as they struggle<br />

breaking through this solid<br />

layer in the soil.<br />

Being a perennial (lasting<br />

more than one year), you might<br />

like to divide up your lupins in<br />

autumn. Dividing perennial<br />

plants while they are dormant<br />

can help expand your garden,<br />

and ensures they will be ready to<br />

bloom again come spring.<br />

When your plants start to<br />

look a bit overgrown (around<br />

autumn), first prune them back,<br />

then mulch and fertilise. When<br />

the leaves at the centre of the<br />

plant start to die off leaving gaping<br />

holes you’ll know you can<br />

divide them.<br />

To divide lupins, dig them up<br />

around 30cm past the edge of<br />

the plant. Wash the roots with<br />

water and then gently pull the<br />

plant apart. You may need to cut<br />

part of the taproot to separate it.<br />

Each new clump you’re left with<br />

Now<br />

Brighten your backyard with laid back lupins<br />

VIBRANT:<br />

Mixing<br />

up lupins<br />

in your<br />

garden will<br />

provide a<br />

wealth of<br />

different<br />

colours.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

should have around four or five<br />

new growth buds.<br />

You can now replant the<br />

healthiest segments of your<br />

lupin. Dividing and shifting your<br />

plant locations is an excellent<br />

way to freshen up your garden.<br />

This is also the time to dig in<br />

new compost to give your plants<br />

the best possible kick start.<br />

If you’re doing all this hard<br />

work in your garden, make sure<br />

you put in the extra effort and<br />

keep the weeds at bay. When it<br />

comes to weeding, a quick hoe<br />

of any weeds once a week will<br />

mean your plants don’t have to<br />

compete for vital nutrients, water<br />

and light.<br />

Apply mulch now while you<br />

can still get in between the<br />

plants, before the new growth<br />

occurs.<br />

Lupins are prone to slugs and<br />

snails, but their main foe is the<br />

aphid. So keep a close eye on<br />

aphids to ‘nip them in the bud’<br />

before the problem gets out of<br />

hand.<br />

You’ll find many sprays<br />

available at your local garden<br />

centre. Or picking them off with<br />

your fingers or blasting with<br />

water can also help. But that’s<br />

making lupins sound a bit more<br />

labour intensive than laid back<br />

now isn’t it?<br />

THE PAPANUI-I nes<br />

Community Board has taken the<br />

rare step of starting a petition<br />

to figh the city council over<br />

funding.<br />

Signatures are being co lected<br />

in a bid to get funding for a community<br />

facility in Shirley.<br />

It comes after the city council<br />

removed funding for the centre<br />

pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the<br />

intersection with Hi ls Rd. This<br />

was the site of the former community<br />

centre, which was badly<br />

damaged in the February 2,<br />

20 1, earthquake.<br />

The removal o funding<br />

prompted community board<br />

chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten<br />

to stan down, citing it as her “die<br />

in the ditch” project.<br />

Ms Jone said the board’s role<br />

is to represen the community,<br />

and by gathering signatures from<br />

residents, it was fulfi ling that<br />

role.<br />

“One of the roles of a community<br />

board is to represent and act<br />

as advocate for the interests of its<br />

community and this is what we<br />

are doing. The LTP and a nual<br />

plans are a l about lo bying the<br />

THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave<br />

Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off<br />

into mediation with IAG and EQC<br />

on February 20, and signed off<br />

on a deal with IAG on February<br />

2 – coincidenta ly seven years<br />

to the day after the February 2,<br />

20 1, earthquake. However, they<br />

are waiting for EQC to sign the<br />

agr ement.<br />

“Given that EQC actua ly drafted<br />

in the February and June, 20 1,<br />

earthquakes and were demolished in<br />

late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the<br />

difference betw en indemnity value,<br />

$10 mi lion, and the sum insured,<br />

$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body<br />

corporate.<br />

The mediation agr ement<br />

prevented Mr White from disclosing<br />

the se tlement amount, but he said it<br />

involved the two parties paying “a bit<br />

more money than they’d wanted to<br />

earlier.”<br />

A little history, a lot of appeal<br />

Nothing beats a great location and this is definitely one of the best! Properties like this one do not come to the<br />

market very often. Originally a small dairy farm, the land that includes the original dwelling, sheds and established<br />

grounds was purchased in 1921 and has remained in the family until now. In a beautiful setting with the hills as a<br />

backdrop, this prime parcel of land is ready and waiting for your lifestyle and building plans to become a reality.<br />

Offering the ultimate escape, this 7.6 hectares is located on the highly sought after Old Tai Tapu Road. Country<br />

living within the city zone. This property will provide you with all of the benefits of living next to city amenities yet<br />

still retain a country lifestyle feel. Don't let another day go by. The potential here is exciting!<br />

What to ask at an open home<br />

It’s easy to get carried away when you’re searching through<br />

property listings for the house of your dreams. But if you’re not<br />

careful, home buying can become a nightmare.<br />

“Buying a property is a complex and<br />

potentially stressful process, not least<br />

because it involves such a scary amount<br />

of money,” says Kevin Lampen-Smith,<br />

chief executive at the Real Estate Authority<br />

(REA).<br />

“It’s smart to do as much as you can to<br />

reduce the risk of unwelcome surprises or<br />

unexpected costs further down the line.”<br />

In the first instance, Lampen-Smith<br />

recommends drawing up a list of questions<br />

to ask about properties you’re interested in.<br />

“Remember that you can ask the real<br />

estate agent anything you like about the<br />

property,” he says. “They are also required<br />

to tell you everything they know and not<br />

withhold any details.”<br />

If you’re not sure what to ask, here’s a<br />

handy list of questions. Open homes can<br />

be busy, so ask the agent if you can talk on<br />

the phone, or send questions via email.<br />

- Have there been any issues with the<br />

property, such as earthquake damage or<br />

water-tightness?<br />

- Are there any offers on the property,<br />

or have any contracts been cancelled by<br />

potential buyers?<br />

- How long has it been on the market?<br />

What is the seller’s preferred settlement<br />

date?<br />

- What maintenance, repairs or<br />

improvements have been carried out? Do<br />

these have permits?<br />

- Is there a Land Information<br />

Memorandum (LIM) available or a<br />

building report prepared by an accredited<br />

property surveyor?<br />

- Is the property well-maintained? What<br />

condition are the roof, piles, wiring, and<br />

plumbing in?<br />

- Is the property insulated? If so, to what<br />

degree (eg walls, underfloor, ceiling)?<br />

- Is there any risk of methamphetamine<br />

(P) contamination?<br />

- If there is a body corporate (usually for<br />

apartments), what does that entail?<br />

- Are there any issues with neighbours<br />

or planned developments?<br />

“If you are seriously considering making<br />

an offer, you will need to do your own<br />

research and seek professional advice. It<br />

may well become your home, so you need<br />

to know as much about it as possible to<br />

save unhappy surprises later,” Lampen-<br />

Smith says.<br />

“Knowing the right questions to ask is a<br />

good starting point.”<br />

Reflecting the trend towards three<br />

bedroom homes, there is much to offer<br />

in this 201square metre showhome from<br />

bedroom placement, through to the<br />

effective living area layout. This is a home<br />

that would suit couples, families and those<br />

who might wish to downsize, especially<br />

as there is a four bedroom design also<br />

available.<br />

Sited on a landscaped 666sqm section,<br />

the home is effectively positioned for<br />

sunny indoor/outdoor living, with a<br />

generous back garden area affording the<br />

perfect setting for entertaining or play.<br />

The open plan kitchen/dining/living<br />

space allows the cook to interact with<br />

guests during food preparation, and a<br />

degree of separation where furniture<br />

placement options exist and potential<br />

for a study nook. Double doors access a<br />

separate lounge or media room offering<br />

the option for privacy to watch a movie<br />

or escape for a quiet tête-à-tête, or for<br />

opening up for a still larger living area.<br />

The Trends Kitchens’ design promises<br />

to satisfy with a double sink island where<br />

one can also sit, a beautiful white TriStone<br />

bench top, Fisher and Paykel appliances<br />

(including wall oven and ceramic<br />

cooktop), a generous supply of cupboards,<br />

and a separate walk-in scullery.<br />

There are three good sized bedrooms.<br />

The master has a spacious walk-in robe<br />

and ensuite where clever design means<br />

the 1500mm wide double hanging vanity,<br />

toilet and shower are tucked behind a<br />

wall and not immediately on view when<br />

walking into the room. Double sliders<br />

also give master bedroom access to the<br />

spacious back garden.<br />

The main bathroom has a 1200mm<br />

vanity, corner shower, and separate bath<br />

with tiled front and surrounds. There<br />

is both a separate main toilet and also a<br />

laundry room where a double cupboard,<br />

complete with shelving offers extra storage<br />

space.<br />

The showhome reflects Milestone<br />

Homes’ standard specifications with<br />

just two changes. A skylight has been<br />

incorporated into the kitchen, to add<br />

extra light and illustrate how particular<br />

spaces within a home might be made<br />

brighter. There is also an extra heat pump<br />

in the standard double garage which has<br />

also been fully insulated; illustrating the<br />

difference in warmth that can be achieved<br />

where a garage might be used for more<br />

than just storage.<br />

With Milestone Homes’ large range<br />

of cleverly designed plans and upgrade<br />

options available, reduced design time<br />

translates into a sooner build start while<br />

making it easier, especially for those who<br />

are first time building clients.<br />

The Milestone Homes’ team have<br />

received many favourable comments from<br />

visitors to their Faringdon showhome,<br />

with the general consensus that this is<br />

a home with a great feel. At a starting<br />

price of $372,340 which includes the<br />

standard specifications on view within<br />

the showhome, this is an affordable build<br />

option.<br />

Milestone Homes’ Faringdon<br />

showhome can be found at 5<br />

Lemonwood Drive and is open Fridays to<br />

Sundays from noon until 4pm. For more<br />
