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 />
or enforcement as a way to<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 />

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 />
“whanau for days” and hoped to fit in a<br />

“I’ve got a few cousins in Christchurch,<br />
so I’ll catch up with them, get a boil up<br />
going. I’ll be sweet.”<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 />

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 />
on the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District Council<br />
Draft Speed Limits Bylaw <strong>2018</strong>.<br />
The proposed Bylaw is an update<br />
to the existing 2006 Speed Limit<br />
Bylaw, and references the latest<br />

of Speed Limits Rule which<br />
regulates how speed limits are<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 />

THE KOWHAI moth, Uresiphita<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 />

usually don’t kill trees.<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 />

them to achieve in rugby and<br />
in life,” he said. Dunlea played<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 />

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 />
council.”<br />

THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave<br />
Rock Apartments ar expecting the<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 />

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