THIS IS what Rolleston’s new<br />

$22.2 million library and<br />

community centre, Te Ara Ātea,<br />

will look like from Tennyson St.<br />

THe district council has been<br />

gifted the name for the facility<br />

by Te Taumutu Rūnanga.<br />

THe name means “the<br />

unobstructed trail to the world<br />

and beyond” and reflects the<br />

role of the new facility as a<br />

place for learning, gathering,<br />

connecting, exploring and<br />

celebrating the district’s heritage<br />

and people.<br />

Te Taumutu Rūnanga<br />

chairwoman Julie<br />

Robilliard said the<br />

rūnanga is delighted to<br />

be supporting the <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

community with the new name.<br />

“It is with great pleasure that<br />

Te Taumutu Rūnanga gifts<br />

the name of Te Ara Ātea to<br />

the new Rolleston library and<br />

community centre,” she said.<br />

“Meaning the<br />

unobstructed trail<br />

to the world and<br />

beyond, Te Ara<br />

Ātea is particularly<br />

appropriate because the<br />

Rolleston area was part<br />

of a network of ancient<br />

trails.”<br />

council has been working<br />

the new centre represents the<br />

breadth and depth of <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s<br />

heritage and community,” he<br />

said.<br />

“We’re privileged that the<br />

rūnanga has gifted the name<br />

Te Ara Ātea – which is so<br />

appropriate for a community<br />

facility where we will celebrate<br />

our history but also look<br />

confidently to the future.<br />

Masefield<br />

Drive<br />

• By Emily O’Connell<br />

THE DISTRICT council won’t<br />

say if ratepayers are picking<br />

up the tab for roadworks in<br />

Masefield Drive, Rolleston.<br />

The footpath and cycleway<br />

outside The Warehouse in<br />

Rolleston ends as the road<br />

narrows around a bend.<br />

The district council and the<br />

developers of Rolleston Square,<br />

where The Warehouse is sited,<br />

have been at odds over which one<br />

should pay to fix the problem.<br />

District council asset<br />

engineer transportation Mark<br />

Chamberlain said work was done<br />

last week to patch potholes and<br />

widen an area at the entrance to<br />

the shopping centre.<br />

“It is to hold the seal until the<br />

kerb and channel, seal widening<br />

and other needed work is done<br />

after Christmas,” he said.<br />

Mr Chamberlain said there will<br />

also be an edge line painted to<br />

give better delineation for drivers.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> has repeatedly<br />

asked the district council whether<br />

ratepayers or developers are<br />

paying to fix the patch of road.<br />

from the editor’s desk<br />

AS FAR as questions go, it’s a fairly simple<br />

one. But for some reason the district<br />

council won’t give us an answer.<br />

I’m referring to our ongoing coverage<br />

of the patch-up job needed on Masefield<br />

Drive after the footpath and cycleway stopped abruptly during<br />

the development outside Rolleston Square.<br />

The district council and developers have been at odds over<br />

who should pay to have the work completed.<br />

We’ve repeatedly asked the district council who is paying.<br />

They keep telling us they’ve got nothing more to add than what<br />

they said a coupe of weeks ago, which really didn’t tell us much.<br />

My money is the ratepayers will be paying for it. Hopefully,<br />

the council will let us know – and then we will let you know.<br />

Wealthy backer<br />

wanted to join quarry battle<br />

• By Anan Zaki<br />

A RESIDENT involved in<br />

the fight against the planned<br />

quarry near Weedons hopes a<br />

wealthy backer will support the<br />

campaign against it.<br />

Weedons Residents’<br />

Association committee member<br />

Simon Moore says people living<br />

near the site don’t have the<br />

money to fight the proposed<br />

Fulton Hogan quarry.<br />

Mr Moore expects the fight<br />

against the quarry to cost at least<br />

$100,000.<br />

A resource consent lodged<br />

with Environment Canterbury<br />

shows Fulton Hogan wants to<br />

operate a quarry 6am-6pm,<br />

Monday-Saturday.<br />

Fulton Hogan has also<br />

proposed running night<br />

operations 150 days of the year.<br />

Full quarry activities would<br />

operate from 6pm-10pm and<br />

truck movements would be<br />

carried out from 10pm-6am.<br />

“What you need is what the<br />

Yaldhurst people got, a nice<br />

person to donate some money,<br />

like Kypros Kotzikas. It would<br />

be nice if someone was willing to<br />

do that,” Mr Moore said.<br />

FUND: Weedons Residents’ Association committee member Simon Moore hopes a wealthy<br />

supporter could help fill funding shortfalls in the fight against the Fulton Hogan quarry.<br />

Mr Kotzikas, who backed<br />

opponents of the Road Metals<br />

quarry in Yaldhurst, is the<br />

owner of United Fisheries.<br />

But regardless of the money,<br />

the residents will not stop their<br />

campaign against the quarry, he<br />

said.<br />

The quarry will be on a 170ha<br />

site at Curraghs, Dawsons, Jones<br />

and Maddisons Rds.<br />

“This is the problem with<br />

David and Goliath – you’re<br />

fighting somebody who is<br />

making record profits,” Mr<br />

Moore said.<br />

“What most of us intend to<br />

do is donate to the Templeton<br />

Residents’ Association<br />

[individually],” he said.<br />

Fulton Hogan says the total<br />

life of the quarry is expected to<br />

be about 30 to 40 years and rock<br />

will be taken from a depth of<br />

2019<br />

ON THE DOMAIN LINCOLN 2 MARCH 2019<br />

10m below ground.<br />

The quarry activities are<br />

anticipated to start in 2020,<br />

should Fulton Hogan receive the<br />

necessary resource consents.<br />

Environment Canterbury and<br />

the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District Council have<br />

until tomorrow to check the<br />

resource consent application for<br />

completeness. A further update<br />

on the application is expected<br />

after tomorow.<br />

$195m mammoth motorway<br />

It’s set to make<br />

commuting safer and<br />

easier by halving travel<br />

time and reducing fatal<br />

and serious crashes by<br />

40 per cent. Julia Evans<br />

checks in to see how<br />

work is progressing on<br />

the Southern Motorway<br />

upgrade<br />

MORE THAN 500,000 cu m<br />

of earth and $195 million is<br />

being poured into upgrading the<br />

Southern Motorway.<br />

The new 7.5km motorway will<br />

extend from Halswell Junction<br />

Rd to near Robinsons Rd on State<br />

Highway 1 so commuters can<br />

bypass Hornby and Templeton.<br />

From Robinsons Rd to Rolleston,<br />

Main South Rd will double to<br />

four-lanes for 5km.<br />

The project should halve time<br />

between Christchurch and<br />

Rolleston from 30min to 15min.<br />

It is also expected to reduce<br />

fatal and serious crashes by 40<br />

per cent by upgrading the third<br />

and seventh most dangerous<br />

intersections in Canterbury –<br />

Weedon Ross Rd and SH1, as well<br />

as Shands and Marshs Rds.<br />

Those are just the two key<br />

features of the mammoth project<br />

that has more than 20 components<br />

and is on track for its<br />

February 2020 opening.<br />

New Zealand Transport<br />

Agency principal project<br />

manager Geoff Griffiths said<br />

the most recent milestone was<br />

northbound traffic on Main<br />

South Rd switched onto the new<br />

SH1 lanes last month.<br />

Southbound traffic also made<br />

the move last month.<br />

“The traffic switch on SH1<br />

will see some local road closures<br />

in place from this week.<br />

Larcombs Rd at Main South Rd<br />

will be closed for around four<br />

weeks and Berketts Rd will be<br />

closed at Main South Rd until<br />

NZTA senior<br />

project<br />

manager<br />

Geoff Griffiths<br />

says the<br />

Southern<br />

Motorway<br />

upgrade is on<br />

track.<br />

the new southbound lanes on<br />

SH1 are opened in 2019,” he<br />

said.<br />

“That will be the next biggest,<br />

most visible stage of work when<br />

we move all the two-way traffic.”<br />

After that, work will start<br />

on moving 10 58-tonne bridge<br />

beams will be craned into place<br />

at the Weedons Rd interchange.<br />

They will complete the bridge,<br />

which already has 10 beams in<br />

place.<br />

“At the other end of things,<br />

we’ll be starting on Springs Rd,”<br />

Mr Griffiths said.<br />

That work will take the project<br />

into its final year.<br />

“A new roundabout is being<br />

constructed at the intersection of<br />

Weedons Ross/Jones Rd, which<br />

is due to be completed in the first<br />

half of 2019.”<br />

This year, work largely concentrated<br />

on the Shands Rd<br />

interchange. But there was also<br />

considerable work at the Halswell<br />

Junction Rd end of the project<br />

with 16 piers installed for the<br />

interchange.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

Mr Griffiths said the biggest<br />

challenge of the project has so far<br />

been the “unknown.”<br />

“Weather has been wetter than<br />

average for the last couple of<br />

years,” he said.<br />

“And just dealing with the<br />

unknown. We’ve found a few<br />

old dumps that have been<br />

contaminated with asbestos.”<br />

But in spite of the weather<br />

and unearthing of old dumps<br />

that no one knew about, he said<br />

everything was on track for the<br />

early 2020 deadline.<br />

“We’ve got this summer and<br />

half of next summer, which is<br />

a good thing. Not only is it the<br />

rain we have to worry about, the<br />

weather does need to be warm<br />

and dry for the type of work we’re<br />

doing.”<br />

Plus Mr Griffiths said there<br />

should be no more former<br />

rubbish dumps to discover.<br />

While the project will reduce<br />

time and crashes, it will support<br />

the south-west’s economic<br />

growth with more than 35,000<br />

people expected to move there in<br />

the next 30 years.<br />

As well as improving access<br />

between Lyttelton Port, the city<br />

centre and the industrial south.<br />

During the project, more<br />

than 570 southern grass skinks<br />

UPGRADE: Building is progressing on the new Weedons Ross<br />

Rd bridge, which is part of the $195 million Southern Motorway<br />

project.<br />

are also being recovered and<br />

rehomed.<br />

Its opening will coincide with<br />

the completion of the Northern<br />

Corridor.<br />

“This job and the<br />

Northern Corridor are the last<br />

two big jobs in Christchurch that<br />

we’re working on,” Mr Griffiths<br />

said.<br />

The project was mooted in<br />

2002. It was part of a study that<br />

looked at the long-term transport<br />

needs for the south-west of the<br />

city.<br />

But it wasn’t until 2010 when<br />

the concept was open for public<br />

consultation. After design<br />

and detailed design stages,<br />

construction began in November<br />

2016.<br />

It is part of the Government’s<br />

roads of national significance<br />

programme.<br />

No word on<br />

who will pay for<br />

Masefield Drive<br />

•From page 1<br />

Two weeks ago, district<br />

council chief executive David<br />

Ward said discussions are<br />

continuing between the council<br />

and other parties involved about<br />

who is responsible and which will<br />

pay.<br />

When asked last week who was<br />

paying for the just-completed<br />

repairs, the district council<br />

wouldn’t say.<br />

Rolleston Square director Lloyd<br />

Bathurst did not want to comment<br />

on the issue.<br />

Mr Ward has told <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong><br />

it considers the developers have<br />

responsibilities to resolve the<br />

current situation to avoid costs<br />

having to be met by ratepayers.<br />

Rolleston Residents’ Association<br />

chairwoman Leonie MacLachlan<br />

said her personal view was that the<br />

“progress was minimal.”<br />

“Keeping up with the filling of<br />

potholes hasn’t been done in a<br />

timely manner,” she said.<br />

Mrs MacLachlan said the area<br />

is “such an eyesore” and for road<br />

users and residents’ safety, “it<br />

needs to be addressed as soon as<br />

possible.”<br />

Mr Ward said the work on<br />

Masefield Drive is planned to be<br />

completed by the end of February.<br />

Cancer battler ‘determined to live’<br />

• By Emily O’Connell<br />

A ROLLESTON mother is<br />

hopeful alternative treatments<br />

could help save her life.<br />

Nina Rodger, 36, was<br />

diagnosed with breast cancer<br />

almost three years ago and has<br />

since received chemotherapy,<br />

radiation, undergone a<br />

mastectomy and numerous<br />

operations.<br />

In spite of this, the Stage 4<br />

cancer continues to spread in<br />

her body and so she’s turned<br />

to alternative methods to help<br />

– including a change of diet,<br />

natural treatments, supplements<br />

and oils.<br />

Last week Mrs Rodger aslo<br />

started Intravenous vitamin C<br />

treatments, which aims to boost<br />

the immune system.<br />

The mother-of-two’s journey<br />

with cancer started about three<br />

years ago when she noticed some<br />

differences in her left breast.<br />

Having had cysts on her breast<br />

10 years earlier, Mrs Rodger<br />

didn’t think much of it.<br />

But after speaking to her husband<br />

Bruce, she decided to get it<br />

checked out by her doctor.<br />

When she was told it was<br />

cancer, Mrs Rodger went home<br />

to her husband who was looking<br />

after their two children and recalls<br />

saying: “I’m going to live.”<br />

Determined to do just that,<br />

Mrs Rodger has dramatically<br />

changed her diet, initially<br />

cutting out meat and sugar and<br />

now she’s “juicing constantly”<br />

and eating “mostly” raw food.<br />

“I’m just determined. I don’t<br />

care what they [doctors] say,<br />

people make it through even at<br />

stage 4. I’m doing everything<br />

I can with supplements and<br />

alternative therapies and diet,”<br />

she said.<br />

Mrs Rodger says both her<br />

“strong faith” and “amazing”<br />

husband have helped her<br />

through the difficult times over<br />

the past few years.<br />

The different treatments she<br />

is using cost about $800-$900 a<br />

week and although her parents<br />

have been helping where they<br />

can, she says finances are “super<br />

tight.”<br />

“There’s a lot of money raised<br />

for breast cancer and research<br />

and support for families, and I<br />

didn’t see anything, I wasn’t offered<br />

anything, I think the only<br />

thing I was offered was the Look<br />

NEEDING<br />

HELP:<br />

Rolleston<br />

mother Nina<br />

Rodger, with<br />

her four-yearold<br />

daughter<br />

Valentina,<br />

is hoping<br />

alternative<br />

methods will<br />

help in her<br />

battle with<br />

breast cancer. ​<br />

Good Feel Better, which was<br />

amazing,” Mrs Rodger said.<br />

In the last couple of weeks,<br />

her friends set-up a Givealittle<br />

page to help with the ongoing<br />

costs.<br />

So far, more than $4100 has<br />

been donated.<br />

“It’s so humbling. I think what<br />

you don’t realise is how loved<br />

you are,” Mrs Rodger said.<br />

$9500 donated<br />

to nurse<br />

• By Emily O’Connell<br />

MORE THAN $9500 has been<br />

donated through a Givealittle<br />

page to Rolleston oncology nurse<br />

Anna Philips.<br />

The 36-year-old, pictured with<br />

her family above, was diagnosed<br />

with bone cancer while on maternity<br />

leave after having her third<br />

child.<br />

Test results show Mrs Philips’<br />

cancer is contained within her<br />

left femur. But a surgical biopsy<br />

confirmed it is the “more aggressive<br />

type.”<br />

Mrs Philips is currently undergoing<br />

10 weeks of chemotherapy<br />

treatment.<br />

Once completed, she will have<br />

a surgery to remove the cancer<br />

from her left femur followed by 20<br />

more weeks of chemotherapy.<br />

SELWYN RESIDENTS are<br />

more positive about their quality<br />

of life than people living in<br />

Christchurch and Waimakariri,<br />

according to the latest Wellbeing<br />

Survey.<br />

But they are the least satisfied<br />

with their ease of access to the<br />

natural environment.<br />

The Canterbury District<br />

Health Board released its survey<br />

from May, done every six<br />

months, to measure earthquake<br />

recovery across the region.<br />

It found 90 per cent of people<br />

living in the district rated<br />

their quality of life positively,<br />

compared with 82 per cent in<br />

Waimakariri District and 79 per<br />

cent in Christchurch.<br />

“<strong>Selwyn</strong> District residents<br />

generally have more positive<br />

findings in key well-being indicators,”<br />

the survey said.<br />

Rolleston youth worker<br />

Courtney Forrest, who has lived<br />

in <strong>Selwyn</strong> for almost six years,<br />

says he would rate his quality of<br />

life positively also.<br />

He believes the district<br />

provides lots of “amazing” opportunities.<br />

“People feel a bit more freedom<br />

to make their mark . . . whether<br />

that be sport, recreation, I think<br />

there’s something out here for<br />

everybody,” he said.<br />

Mr Forrest said the “majority”<br />

of the people he interacts with<br />

are also positive about their<br />

quality of life in <strong>Selwyn</strong>.<br />

“You always get the odd one<br />

that doesn’t like the growth and<br />

the busyness of it but I think that<br />

statistic is really true,” he said.<br />

Mayor Sam Broughton said<br />

the district council is “very<br />

happy” to see residents enjoy a<br />

high quality of life.<br />

“We have worked hard in our<br />

communities to deliver facilities<br />

and events that encourage<br />

Survey finds <strong>Selwyn</strong> residents positive about<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

community engagement and<br />

Greater Christchurch<br />

Psychosocial Governance Group<br />

chairwoman Evon Currie is<br />

wanting “local decision makers”<br />

to explore the data and use it<br />

to positively influence the wellbeing<br />

of its population.<br />

Mayor Broughton said its<br />

operational team will be looking<br />

at the survey results and working<br />

on ways to continue to enhance<br />

the lives of residents.<br />

Seventy-eight per cent of<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> residents are satisfied<br />

with their ease of access to the<br />

natural environment. This falls<br />

behind Waimakariri on 87 per<br />

cent and Christchurch at 80 per<br />

cent.<br />

When it came to emotional<br />

well-being, on average <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

residents rated themselves “significantly<br />

higher” than Christchurch<br />

City and Waimakariri<br />

residents.<br />

The survey also found <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

residents are the most satisfied,<br />

90 per cent, with the overall<br />

quality of their houses in terms<br />

of warmth, insulation, heating,<br />

moisture levels and weather<br />

tightness, when compared with<br />

Waimakariri, 85 per cent, and<br />

Christchurch 77 per cent.<br />

Just under 70 per cent of<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> residents said they were<br />

satisfied with the ease of access<br />

to suitable transport to daily<br />

activities. This is lower than<br />

the 74 per cent of Christchurch<br />

residents who said they were<br />

satisfied, but higher than<br />

Waimakariri on 64 per cent.<br />

I’M INTO week two of my stayat-home-dad<br />

adventure and I’ve<br />

Vittoria saw her first live crab<br />

turned up.<br />

If you have zero clue of what<br />

being the odd one out feels like,<br />

being a dad at a baby activity is<br />

normally a great introduction.<br />

In my experience, outside of<br />

weekends and public holidays,<br />

dads at said events are proverbial<br />

unicorns; rare and naturally herd<br />

animals.<br />

Recently I took Vittoria to our<br />

first Toes and Giggles session<br />

as the stay-at-home parent. It’s<br />

a music and movement thing;<br />

songs, toys, other babies with<br />

coffee and biscuits after.<br />

I was pleased to see two other<br />

dads (also in their first couple<br />

of weeks on the job so to speak)<br />

come in. It will be cool to have<br />

some contemporaries at some of<br />

the same events to share stories<br />

and compare notes with.<br />

chat, Vittoria made multiple<br />

beelines for the door, so I’m<br />

looking forward to the next<br />

session to talk about the stay-athome-dad<br />

role.<br />

As for Vittoria’s first Santa<br />

photo, that brought a small<br />

revelation to light.<br />

When I was a kid, I remember<br />

being excited about Santa photos<br />

and getting a chance to get<br />

my order in before Christmas.<br />

Going by Vittoria’s face when<br />

jolly St Nick walked out for<br />

the photo, I’ve discovered that<br />

excitement is something you have<br />

to work up to.<br />

She looked terrified and<br />

fascinated all at once and flat out<br />

refused to be too close.<br />

Upgrade proposed<br />

for Kirwee reserve<br />

• By Emily O’Connell<br />

A NEW or updated playground,<br />

dog exercise area and a shared<br />

walkway and cycleway are just<br />

some of the proposals being<br />

considered for the redevelopment<br />

of the Kirwee Recreation Reserve.<br />

The reserve, which includes<br />

sports fields and a bowling green,<br />

is set to be redeveloped over the<br />

next 10 years.<br />

The district council’s Long<br />

Term Plan has allocated $200,000<br />

from 2019 for the project.<br />

A working party, consisting of<br />

three reserve management committee<br />

members, three Kirwee<br />

Community Committee members,<br />

a representative from the<br />

Malvern Community Board and<br />

district council, was set up about<br />

18 months ago.<br />

Working party chairman<br />

Raymond Williams said it is currently<br />

looking at everything in<br />

the reserve and considering what<br />

would be beneficial for the community<br />

in 20 to 30 years’ time.<br />

Mr Williams said they are<br />

planning to plant natives around<br />

the boundary of the reserve next<br />

year.<br />

“That’s cemented in, I suppose.<br />

Hoping to have that planted by<br />

May,” he said.<br />

Mr Williams said it set-up<br />

a display board at the recent<br />

Courtenay A&P Show for<br />

members of the public to place<br />

their ideas on.<br />

So far, suggestions include<br />

a new or updated playground,<br />

youth area, community area,<br />

dog exercise area, more sporting<br />

facilities, shelter and a walkway<br />

and cycleway around the reserve’s<br />

boundary.<br />

Mr Williams said once it has a<br />

better idea of where everything<br />

could go, and the district council’s<br />

“reasonably happy,” it will<br />

consult with the community.<br />

He’s hopeful consultation will<br />

take place “by autumn next year.”<br />

The project will also include<br />

irrigating the reserve using the<br />

Central Plains Water Scheme. It<br />

is currently irrigated from the<br />

township water supply, sourced<br />

from underground wells but<br />

exceeds its allocated amount<br />

under Kirwee’s water metering<br />

system.<br />

• If you have a suggestion<br />

for the reserve<br />

redevelopment, email it to<br />

the reserve management<br />

committee’s secretary<br />

Ngaire Kent at kirwee.rrmc@<br />

THE $808,000 new community<br />

pavilion at Weedons Reserve has<br />

been completed.<br />

Construction started on<br />

the project in May following<br />

the demolition of the existing<br />

clubrooms.<br />

District<br />

council major<br />

projects<br />

manager John<br />

Reid said<br />

final tidy-up<br />

is progressing<br />

and the centre<br />

should be<br />

available for<br />

Julie Cockburn full use in<br />

about a week.<br />

Mr Reid said a date has not<br />

been finalised for an official<br />

opening but it’s expected to be in<br />

the new year.<br />

He said the building cost<br />

$750,000 including consenting,<br />

architectural and professional<br />

consultancy costs.<br />

“In addition a power upgrade,<br />

$26,000, and new sewerage<br />

system, $32,000, were added to<br />

future-proof the building,” Mr<br />

Reid said.<br />

The building includes a<br />

lounge, a small kitchen, two<br />

dressing rooms and some public<br />

toilet facilities.<br />

Weedons Tennis Club<br />

secretary Julie Cockburn said<br />

it was “absolutely marvellous”<br />

that it has received the code of<br />

compliance.<br />

“It will be nice to have the<br />

pavilion with all the facilities<br />

back up and going again,” she<br />

said.<br />

The tennis courts were<br />

moved and realigned to allow<br />

for a larger cricket oval for the<br />

Sustainability key<br />

to organic farming<br />

There’s something for<br />

everyone in the realm of<br />

organic farming but as far<br />

as Bill Martin is concerned,<br />

it’s all about sustainability.<br />

The Training College<br />

Manager at Lincoln<br />

University’s Biological<br />

Husbandry Unit Organics<br />

Trust (BHU) is happy to see<br />

a surge in enthusiasm for<br />

organic food production<br />

as younger generations<br />

become more aware of<br />

environmental concerns.<br />

He says the growing<br />

popularity of organic<br />

production in recent years<br />

means that graduates are<br />

now taking what they have<br />

learned into a broader<br />

range of sectors.<br />

“It’s not just about<br />

growing, wholesaling<br />

and retailing food anymore. They’re<br />

going into schools and teaching primary<br />

and secondary schoolers about the<br />

importance of sustainable farming and<br />

gardening and really starting to embed the<br />

philosophy into the education system.”<br />

As far as conventional agricultural<br />

practices are concerned, he says farmers<br />

should be encouraged to optimise their<br />

production, rather than maximise it at the<br />

expense of the environment.<br />

“We need to change our agricultural<br />

paradigm and re-evaluate our priorities.”<br />

Mr Martin says those interested in a<br />

career in organics should enrol in the<br />

one-year Diploma in Agri-Food Production<br />

course, which is open to students either<br />

with or without university entrance.<br />

Introduced last year, it includes Tikanga<br />

and Mahinga Kai components and can<br />

lead to employment in organic primary<br />

production or other sectors related<br />

to organics, especially education and<br />

hospitality.<br />

“The course offers a good grounding<br />

in the principles of organic agriculture,<br />

teaching the philosophies and histories<br />

of organics and providing practical<br />

knowledge of how they are applied,” Mr<br />

Martin says.<br />

Apply now for the Diploma in Organic<br />

Agri-Food Production and begin studying<br />

in February 2019.<br />

Your Local Views<br />

Weedons<br />

resident<br />

Gary<br />

Doyle<br />

responds<br />

to the<br />

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

<strong>Times</strong><br />

article on a proposal<br />

for <strong>Selwyn</strong> residents<br />

to contribute to the<br />

operating costs of the<br />

planned Christchurch<br />

stadium<br />

I was rather surprised at<br />

the comments from Gerald<br />

Carter on page 8 of the<br />

November 28 edition.<br />

To suggest that parts of<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> should be amalgamated<br />

into Christchurch<br />

while leaving other areas<br />

out is an extremely short<br />

sighted view of the situation.<br />

Christchurch would<br />

dearly love to include Tai<br />

Tapu, Lincoln, Rolleston<br />

and West Melton into a<br />

greater Christchurch area.<br />

This would give<br />

Christchurch a huge rating<br />

area to help pay for any<br />

enterprises they may have,<br />

and totally to the detriment<br />

of those ratepayers in<br />

the areas mentioned. Then<br />

of course the outer areas<br />

would be of no interest, to<br />

big, not enough revenue so<br />

just dump them.<br />

Leave the boundaries<br />

exactly as they are, let<br />

those who will profit from<br />

development put their<br />

hands into their pockets.<br />

Hotels, motels, cafes,<br />

bars, eateries etc. The<br />

country areas are not a<br />

cash cow to be exploited.<br />

Southbridge<br />

resident John<br />

Summers responds<br />

to <strong>Selwyn</strong> MP Amy<br />

Adam’s column<br />

on four-laning the<br />

highway between<br />

Christchurch and<br />

Ashburton.<br />

One of Amy Adams’<br />

first utterances, early in<br />

the term of the coalition<br />

Government was “it’s a tax<br />

and spend Labour Government.”<br />

A bit silly I thought at<br />

the time because taxing<br />

and spending is what<br />

Govenments of all persuasions<br />

do. Now though, Mrs<br />

Adams thinks the Government<br />

should be spending<br />

SELWYN TIMES<br />

on upgrading and four<br />

laning state highway one to<br />

Ashburton as National had<br />

planned to do.<br />

Apparently spending<br />

is okay. If it is on her pet<br />

projects.<br />

I recall many roading<br />

and bridging improvements<br />

promised by National<br />

prior to the Northland<br />

by-election but not one of<br />

them was even consented.<br />

Besides this it is at least<br />

arguable wether more motorways<br />

contribute to safer<br />

motoring.<br />

Our road toll rises<br />

inexorably, in spite of continuous<br />

roading improvements,<br />

because of our poor<br />

driving habits.<br />

Personally, I applaud<br />

the spending priorities of<br />

the coalition Government<br />

giving attention to our run<br />

down public health system<br />

and what National now<br />

agrees is a housing crisis,<br />

to name but two.<br />

What’s involved in being a Freemason<br />

Former<br />

master of<br />

Lincoln<br />

Masonic<br />

Lodge<br />

Michael<br />

Lavender<br />

writes<br />

about what<br />

Freemasonry is and what the<br />

lodge does<br />

Freemasonry as we currently<br />

know it has been around for<br />

300 years, prior to that the stone<br />

masons had their own “labour<br />

entity.”<br />

What is Freemasonry? It’s an<br />

organisation, open to men, 18<br />

years and older who share beliefs<br />

of community standards and values,<br />

who recognise an obligation<br />

to support those less fortunate<br />

than others, to support medical<br />

and scholastic merit and live lives<br />

of which they are proud.<br />

There is a “hand shake,” this<br />

simply carrying on the centuries<br />

old tradition of recognition of<br />

a fellow [previously worker]<br />

member. Prior to written word, a<br />

hand shake, given in a particular<br />

format indicated the skill level of<br />

the worker concerned.<br />

Is there a goat? Only to keep the<br />

grass down in days of yore.<br />

Can any man join? Any man<br />

with a belief of a supreme being.<br />

So it’s a religious group then?<br />

No, not at all. Two topics which<br />

for centuries have caused strife<br />

worldwide are politics and religion,<br />

neither of these are acceptable<br />

discussion in a Freemasons<br />

lodge.<br />

I’ve heard it’s a secret society?<br />

Not really, no more than a<br />

sports team practising game<br />

moves in private. Check us out on<br />

the web.<br />

Is it expensive to join? Here at<br />

Lincoln we currently pay $4 a<br />

week. This covers dues to our local<br />

lodge, to the national governing<br />

body, plus a contribution to<br />

benevolence.<br />

What do you do at your meetings?<br />

We pay the bills, approve<br />

the minutes of the previous<br />

monthly meeting, then if we have<br />

a new member to bring into the<br />

lodge, there is a three-part education<br />

introduction, each separate<br />

and spread over a number of<br />

meetings. The purpose of these<br />

introductions is to allow the<br />

member an understanding of<br />

the historical significance of the<br />

workings of the “craft,” as it’s<br />

known.<br />

How long have you been in<br />

Lincoln? We came to Maurice St<br />

in 1880 and are still there.<br />

How would I recognise some of<br />

these benevolent works you do?<br />

If you have a need of the new<br />

Akaroa medical facilities, check<br />

us out there. The chair of Geriatrics<br />

in Auckland was established<br />

by a $1,000,000 grant, the chair<br />

of Paediatrics in Dunedin with a<br />

$500,000 grant, with paediatrics<br />

annually funded. Brain research<br />

is currently the recipient of funding.<br />

If you pay a visit to the<br />

Christchurch charity medical<br />

facilities you will be lying on the<br />

operating table provided by us.<br />

Previously we have given considerable<br />

three-year support here<br />

in Canterbury to junior lifesaving,<br />

breast cancer research and<br />

prostate cancer research. Currently<br />

bursaries at both Lincoln<br />

and Canterbury universities are<br />

available.<br />

If you feel you would like to<br />

share with us the responsibility<br />

of overseeing the good of society<br />

as it comes our way, we would be<br />

delighted to chat with you.<br />

SELWYN TIMES<br />

Lloyd Clausen<br />

Clocking up nearly half a century<br />

Leeston Volunteer Fire<br />

Brigade chief fire officer<br />

Lloyd Clausen, 64, has<br />

been part of the brigade<br />

for 49 years. Emily<br />

O’Connell spoke to him<br />

about his family history<br />

with the brigade, being<br />

a firefighter and his most<br />

memorable call-out<br />

How did you come to being a<br />

firefighter?<br />

I was pretty young obviously. It<br />

was probably because the family<br />

had been involved for a long time<br />

in the brigade. Like a lot of brigades<br />

in small rural towns you’ll<br />

find lots of family connections.<br />

Just one of those things you did<br />

to help the community.<br />

How old were you when you<br />

joined?<br />

Sixteen.<br />

Were you still at school or<br />

working at the time?<br />

No, I was still at school. I<br />

obviously couldn’t turnout<br />

when I was at school because<br />

the school wasn’t in Leeston. I<br />

turned out all the other times.<br />

What school were you going<br />

to?<br />

I was going to Southbridge<br />

District High School.<br />

Who in your family was<br />

SERVICE: Leeston Volunteer Fire Brigade chief fire officer Lloyd Clausen has spent 49 years in the<br />

brigade and isn’t looking to retire anytime soon.<br />

involved in the brigade?<br />

My grandfather Frank and my<br />

father Bertram. My grandfather<br />

was in the brigade going back<br />

during the 1912 period, around<br />

that era. He was also on the<br />

town committee and he was<br />

the fire inspector for the town<br />

committee, so he did a few years<br />

doing that. When dad was in<br />

the brigade, he ended up doing<br />

42 years when he retired. My<br />

brother Grant also joined the<br />

brigade and he’s done close to<br />

40 years. I also have two distant<br />

cousins and one of their son’s in<br />

the brigade.<br />

What was your first call-out?<br />

Our fire engines were entirely<br />

different to what we have now<br />

obviously. So we sat up on the<br />

back and we had a canvas cover<br />

over the back and it was hailing<br />

like hell and we went to a chimney<br />

fire in Brookside.<br />

How did you feel?<br />

Excited and apprehensive. I<br />

think I was probably a bit lucky<br />

that the call was a chimney fire<br />

and nothing really major. Well<br />

it was major to the people, obviously.<br />

It wasn’t as though it was<br />

a house fire or a big property fire<br />

or something like that. It was<br />

probably a good type of call to<br />

have as your first call.<br />

What’s been the most<br />

memorable call-out you’ve been<br />

to and why?<br />

Oh, so many. It’s hard really<br />

to pick one out. There was a big<br />

fire up in Nimmo’s in 1990 on<br />

Waitangi Day. Massive big fire<br />

up there that went on for over<br />

a month. We had an appliance<br />

there for over a week, running<br />

24/7. I personally didn’t go to the<br />

Port Hills fires. Probably assisting<br />

in the earthquakes for a time<br />

in Christchurch. We were driving<br />

a tanker around and we were<br />

supplying water to firefighters so<br />

my role wasn’t very glamorous<br />

but it had to be done. Then of<br />

course, we were still operating<br />

Wednesday <strong>December</strong> 5 <strong>2018</strong> 15<br />

as a volunteer firefighter<br />

We took lots of chimneys down<br />

and stuff like that, assisted people<br />

were we could. We had flooding<br />

in Leeston in 2013 where we<br />

probably responded to about<br />

80 calls in a 24-hour period.<br />

All sorts of things. Just getting<br />

someone out of a car and getting<br />

them off to hospital, knowing<br />

that they’re going to make a good<br />

recovery is a pretty major thing<br />

as well.<br />

Of the call-outs you’ve<br />

attended have there been ones<br />

you haven’t been able to forget?<br />

There’s always calls that will<br />

leave a mark on you and we do<br />

get really good psychological<br />

through Fire and Emergency<br />

New Zealand. But yeah, whilst<br />

you learn to cope and deal<br />

with it, and I don’t see I have<br />

any issues around it, you still<br />

remember them.<br />

How did you become the chief<br />

fire officer and when did that<br />

happen?<br />

I’ve been chief for about four<br />

years I think. I’ve been an officer<br />

since 1980 in the brigade and<br />

just slowly worked my way up<br />

the ranks from station officer,<br />

to third officer to deputy to fire<br />

chief.<br />

How have you found it being<br />

fire chief?<br />

Good, I’m really enjoying it.<br />

ACKNOWLEDGED: Lloyd Clausen receiving his Gold Bar for 49<br />

years service from area manager Mike Johns.<br />

You don’t jump in the truck unless<br />

you really have to like I did<br />

this morning. As the calls get<br />

bigger, the rank required to take<br />

command is bigger. So we had<br />

the honey factory fire last year I<br />

think, I took command of that in<br />

the end. We had about seven to<br />

eight appliances there. You’re not<br />

so much the frontline firefighter<br />

when you’re the chief.<br />

How do you process some<br />

of the devastating things you<br />

see?<br />

After you’ve been there a while<br />

you have a bank of memories and<br />

ways of coping. We have debriefs<br />

within the brigade. People will<br />

come out from FENZ and assist<br />

with the debriefs and we have the<br />

back-up of help if you need it and<br />

that’s all highly confidential.<br />

What would you say is<br />

the hardest part of being a<br />

firefighter?<br />

I’ve talked to a few families<br />

who have had a death in the family,<br />

yeah, that’s pretty tough. If it’s<br />

a young person it’s that loss the<br />

of the life that’s not going to be<br />

fulfilled.<br />

What’s the most rewarding<br />

part of the role?<br />

To be able to help someone<br />

out. We went today to where a<br />

lady had a fire in her kitchen,<br />

her dishwasher was on fire. She<br />

did all the right things, we got<br />

around there and got the fire<br />

extinguished, there was plenty<br />

of black smoke coming out of<br />

the door when we went there.<br />

The guys went in with breathing<br />

apparatuses, got the fire out, no<br />

other damage to the property<br />

apart from the smoke and a bit of<br />

water damage.<br />

Do you have any plans to<br />

finish up with the brigade?<br />

Don’t let the cat out of the bag,<br />

no. I have no immediate plans to<br />

resign from FENZ, no.<br />

How long have you lived in<br />

Leeston for?<br />

My whole life. My grandfather<br />

was a saddler, he was here as a<br />

young fella in 1890 working for<br />

one of the local saddlers and<br />

then in 1912 when the business<br />

came up for sale, he bought the<br />

business. My father took over the<br />

saddler business and my brother<br />

took over from him. I’ve been<br />

overseas, done an OE and all that<br />

sort of stuff, but I’m half an hour<br />

from Hornby if you need to go,<br />

you’ve got everything in the town<br />

within reason.<br />

Do you have a partner and/or<br />

children?<br />

Yes, I’ve got a partner named<br />

Kathryn. She has a daughter<br />

in Hamilton and I have a son<br />

in Nelson and a daughter in<br />

Leeston. We have a couple of<br />

grandchildren.<br />

What are some of your<br />

hobbies?<br />

Well I don’t do a lot of hobbies<br />

as such. In the summer months<br />

I manage one of the swimming<br />

pools in Leeston . . . I’m on the<br />

council committee, I’m chairman<br />

of the Leeston Community<br />

Committee, I’m on the area<br />

committee for St John. I suppose<br />

those sorts of things with the fire<br />

brigade keep you reasonably<br />

busy so I don’t do a lot of fishing<br />

or anything like that these days.<br />

I enjoy reading a book<br />

occasionally if I get time<br />

Family is a big hobby. Yes,<br />

they’re the most important<br />

thing in your life really.<br />

Fun and exercise<br />

all year round<br />

Open between<br />

Christmas<br />

and New Year<br />

Backyard Critters News<br />

I see you: Jumping spider’s<br />

excellent eyesight<br />

Mike Bowie is<br />

an ecologist<br />

who specialises<br />

in entomology<br />

(insects<br />

and other<br />

invertebrates). Each<br />

week he introduces a<br />

new species found in<br />

his backyard at Lincoln.<br />

His column aims to raise<br />

public awareness of<br />

biodiversity, the variety<br />

of living things around<br />

us. Check out the full list<br />

of invertebrates found at<br />

http://naturewatch.org.<br />

nz/projects/backyardbiodiversity-bugs-in-lincoln<br />

A COMMON spider around the<br />

house these days is the bronze<br />

jumper helpis minitabunda.<br />

This eastern Australian<br />

species, also found in Papua<br />

New Guinea, was first seen<br />

in Auckland in 1972, but has<br />

since expanded its range south<br />

through both islands.<br />

The species has a skinny body,<br />

is pale brown in colour and is<br />

8-10mm long.<br />

The male is the larger of the<br />

two sexes, which is quite unusual<br />

INQUISITIVE: The bronze jumper, helpis minitabunda, has a<br />

skinny body, is pale brown in colour and 8-10mm long. ​<br />

in the spider world. Males have<br />

much longer and darker front<br />

legs, which distinguish them<br />

from females.<br />

Like other species of jumping<br />

spiders, the bronze jumper has<br />

large forward-facing eyes that<br />

give them excellent eyesight.<br />

This trait, combined with their<br />

agility and speed, enables them<br />

to ambush insects by leaping on<br />

them.<br />

They are very inquisitive<br />

spiders and often jump on your<br />

camera lens when you are trying<br />

to photograph them.<br />

The spider often makes web<br />

retreats on leaves, where the<br />

female will lay the eggs while the<br />

male stays guard.<br />

Chorus to put<br />

on festive show<br />

• By Ashleigh Monk<br />

THE Christchurch City Chorus<br />

will be putting on a festive<br />

show to get everyone into the<br />

Christmas spirit.<br />

On <strong>December</strong> 15 the choir will<br />

take the stage to perform The<br />

Magic of Christmas.<br />

Musical director Virginia<br />

Humphrey-Taylor said the show<br />

would include Christmas carols,<br />

skits, poems and dancing.<br />

“We want to share the joy and<br />

music of Christmas with people,”<br />

she said.<br />

“We want everyone to come<br />

and sing carols with us. It’s<br />

something for the whole family<br />

to get everyone excited for<br />

Christmas.”<br />

She said about 80 members of<br />

the choir would be performing.<br />

“We’ve got quartets singing,<br />

we’ve got small groups singing,<br />

we’ve got about 20 children who<br />

will be performing,” she said.<br />

“We’ll sing a lot of the classic<br />

Christmas carols, but there will<br />

also be a few songs that people<br />

won’t know; songs from around<br />

the world about Christmas.”<br />

The show would give members<br />

a chance to get some practice<br />

in before the Christchurch City<br />

SELWYN TIMES<br />

Chorus heads to New Orleans<br />

for a performance in September.<br />

“We’re doing as many shows<br />

as we can so we are prepared,”<br />

she said.<br />

She said she hoped to showcase<br />

the group and encourage<br />

new members to join.<br />

“We’re looking for new members<br />

all the time. There’s always a<br />

turn over of membership because<br />

people move away or their lives<br />

change, so this is a chance for<br />

people who might be interested in<br />

joining to see what we do.”<br />

The Magic of Christmas will<br />

be performed on <strong>December</strong> 15,<br />

with a matinee at 2pm and an<br />

evening show at 7pm.<br />

•Tickets will be $25 for<br />

adults, $20 for seniors and<br />

$10 for children, and can<br />

be purchased at www.ccchorus.co.nz<br />

Rolleston pupils’ music video<br />

wins award<br />

SELWYN TIMES<br />

ADVENTURE: A group of 30 Lincoln High students left for a three week trip to Nepal on Sunday. ​<br />

Rolleston School year 6 pupils Olly Preston, Fletcher<br />

Brosnahan, Jayden Paterson and James Mills were fourth in<br />

the music video year 4-6 category at the Movie and Digital<br />

Excellence Awards. The group rewrote a song, recorded<br />

it and made a music video using their scooters. The pupils<br />

even held a cover shoot (below) for the video which they<br />

called Kick, Push, Pull. To watch it, visit www.youtube.com/<br />

From Lincoln to Nepal<br />

Lincoln High School year 13 student Caelum Betteridge writes about the school’s<br />

involvement in the World Challenge and trip to Nepal<br />

ON SUNDAY a group of 30<br />

Lincoln High School students<br />

started an exciting, three-week<br />

adventure in Nepal with World<br />

Challenge.<br />

After nearly two years of<br />

planning, fundraising and team<br />

building, everything has finally<br />

come together.<br />

When we arrived in<br />

Kathmandu, we split into two<br />

smaller groups – team Aoraki<br />

and team Everest – each with<br />

two teachers, one World<br />

Challenge leader and a cute yak<br />

or yeti mascot to accompany us.<br />

We, the students, will receive<br />

a lot of flexibility in all our<br />

activities. We are planning and<br />

managing our own meals and<br />

accommodation, and finding<br />

our own balance of trekking and<br />

community-focused work.<br />

Both teams will have a<br />

very rewarding opportunity<br />

to interact with some of the<br />

local children as we spend<br />

several days supporting small<br />

communities by improving the<br />

facilities at their schools.<br />

Team Everest will repair the<br />

walls of the compound and<br />

renovate and paint the toilet and<br />

classrooms at the Shree Aatma<br />

Bikash Basic School.<br />

Team Aoraki will help build<br />

a new block, dismantle and<br />

build the toilet block and play<br />

sports with the children at Shree<br />

Chandrajyoti Basic School.<br />

These few days will definitely<br />

be one of the highlights of the<br />

trip and an awesome way<br />

to meet some of the local<br />

people.<br />

A large portion of our time<br />

in Nepal will be spent trekking<br />

through the Himalayas to<br />

challenge ourselves and gain a<br />

whole new perspective of the<br />

country.<br />

Team Everest will walk the<br />

Poon Hill track, which is six<br />

days in duration and reaches<br />

an altitude of 3300m at its<br />

highest. Team Aoraki will have<br />

a one day acclimatisation trek<br />

above Kathmandu before a<br />

seven-day hike along the<br />

Mardi Himal track which,<br />

weather permitting, will provide<br />

us with amazing views from<br />

4500m.<br />

Kindness the ‘embodiment of the Rolleston<br />

Rolleston College year 10 student Dylan Evans won the school’s speech<br />

competition recently. His speech is below<br />

IT’S THE embodiment of the<br />

Rolleston spirit. It’s the focus of<br />

a blog post by our principal.<br />

K-I-N-D-N-E-S-S.<br />

Kindness . . . why? Why<br />

should we be kind? Why does it<br />

matter? I will be answering all<br />

of those questions in a stunning<br />

display of excellence that will<br />

leave no question as to the<br />

best whānau. It’s Koanga.<br />

Uh ah.<br />

Kindness is an eminent<br />

avenue for development of self.<br />

Being the recipient of kindness<br />

boosts faith in yourself, in your<br />

abilities and when you trust<br />

yourself, you trust your abilities,<br />

you open yourself to failure and<br />

by extension, success.<br />

When you are certain you can<br />

prevail, you take your failures in<br />

stride and as lessons. You build<br />

your arsenal of knowledge, gunby-gun,<br />

knife-by-knife, until you<br />

have the competence to assault<br />

any challenge, any problem.<br />

Kindness also ‘creates an<br />

environment where it is okay to<br />

make mistakes, learn from them<br />

and become a better person,’<br />

according to Kindness<br />

. . . Why, a blog post by Mr<br />

Saville. An environment in<br />

which a person can make<br />

mistakes, a person can learn<br />

from their mistakes, is an<br />

environment which can culture<br />

a person with a desire for<br />

learning, because they are able<br />

to take risks in their learning<br />

and develop unconventional,<br />

fresh ideas without the<br />

possibility of discouragement.<br />

When kindness is a major<br />

factor in a person’s life, they can<br />

be resilient by using failure as a<br />

method of education, they can<br />

be curious by taking risks in<br />

their learning, they can be joyful<br />

by seeing failure as progress, not<br />

a stand-still or dead-end, and<br />

they can be confident in their<br />

learning, their<br />

capabilities, so<br />

they can push<br />

themselves to<br />

the limits they<br />

set, to achieve the<br />

goals they hope they<br />

can attain.<br />

Kindness is an<br />

effective instrument<br />

in the building<br />

of communities.<br />

Displaying<br />

kindness<br />

to other people<br />

and groups of<br />

people not only<br />

builds bridges<br />

and relationships<br />

between people,<br />

schools,<br />

communities, and<br />

SHARING IDEAS:<br />

Year 10 student<br />

Dylan Evans<br />

performing his<br />

winning speech<br />

at Rolleston<br />

College.<br />

SCHOOLS<br />

countries, but solidifies those<br />

relationships. Relationships<br />

pop when there is an absence of<br />

kindness and respect because<br />

relationships require mutual<br />

respect and kindness in order<br />

for both parties to feel satisfied;<br />

you need to appreciate and<br />

reciprocate kindness if you<br />

want a long-lasting relationship.<br />

No one would want to be in a<br />

relationship where they feel they<br />

are doing most of the work, and<br />

aren’t appreciated.<br />

To have a friend, is to be a<br />

friend.<br />

Being kind to build<br />

communities means being<br />

inclusive when you spread<br />

unconditional kindness,<br />

be collaborative in your<br />

attempts to build bridges<br />

of kindness between<br />

communities, be able to<br />

communicate and connect<br />

kindness in your interactions<br />

with your communities, and<br />

be bi-culturally competent and<br />

confident by communicating<br />

with a diverse group of people to<br />

challenge your ideas and grow<br />

your kindness skill-set.<br />

spirit’<br />

And in that same vein, I<br />

fundamentally believe gestures<br />

of kindness can swirl and<br />

tumble and transform futures. A<br />

small act a kindness, a random<br />

act of kindness, even a small,<br />

random act of kindness can do<br />

unimaginable good. Sometimes<br />

we do not know what is happening<br />

inside the life of another person,<br />

their struggles and doing a kind<br />

thing can boost the spirit of<br />

someone in need, give them an<br />

extra spring in the step when they<br />

are feeling weighed down. And<br />

in a school environment, being<br />

kind, generous, and respectful<br />

can change futures. A teacher<br />

encouraging an understanding<br />

in a subject can cultivate a love<br />

and a drive for lifelong learning.<br />

A teacher displays kindness to a<br />

student in need, and the student<br />

has the power to change the world.<br />

A small ripple, an insignificant<br />

current, can grow into a tsunami.<br />

Futures can be transformed<br />

by encouraging being creative,<br />

encouraging learning and creating<br />

the map to direct their own<br />

learning, not following a pre-made<br />

one. Enforcing the need to be<br />

environmentally aware, care for<br />

the future generations and instil<br />

kindness into the fabric of society<br />

and be adaptive by altering your<br />

kindness to fit into any situation.<br />

Use kindness as a tool, as<br />

weapon to develop self, build<br />

communities, and transform<br />

futures.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong><br />

West Melton Community and Recreation Centre<br />

official opening<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> District Council is hosting an official opening of the West Melton Community and<br />

Recreation Centre on Friday 7 <strong>December</strong> at 3pm.<br />

The community celebration of the opening will be attended by representatives of Te Taumutu<br />

Rūnanga, Hon Amy Adams, Mayor Sam Broughton, members of the West Melton Residents’<br />

Association and Council staff. Members of the public are warmly invited to attend the event where<br />

students from West Melton School will perform a kapa haka.<br />

West Melton Community and Recreation Centre committee chair Bruce Russell says the opening<br />

is a chance for everyone in the community to have a look at the new facility.<br />

“This is brilliant new facility which will greatly enhance the social and recreational opportunities<br />

available to the West Melton community. The organising committee and the Council are extremely<br />

proud of this facility,” Mr Russell says.<br />

Council Major Projects Property Manager John Reid says the new facility, which took about 13<br />

months to complete*, will cater to the future demands of the West Melton residents as well as the<br />

wider <strong>Selwyn</strong> community.<br />

“This modern, high quality community facility will serve the needs of the West Melton area, but it<br />

will also add a significant asset to the growing network of community facilities across the <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

district,” Mr Reid says.<br />

The $8.5 million facility has community meeting spaces, indoor sport and recreation (including<br />

an indoor court), a scout hall, a Plunket room and Playcentre. There is also space for community<br />

group activities such as service, gardening and film clubs.<br />

The facility has a new pedestrian promenade which connects to the entrance of the building and<br />

is lined with trees. There are also a number of native and exotic plant species.<br />

West Melton had an existing outdated and earthquake damaged hall located on the same site as the<br />

new facility. The West Melton Community and Recreation Centre is a much larger and more modern<br />

facility, designed to better meet the needs of a population that has grown rapidly in recent years.<br />

*As the carpark is planned to be completed in late <strong>December</strong>, people who attend the opening<br />

event are encouraged to park at the West Melton Tavern.<br />

More public toilets for <strong>Selwyn</strong> district<br />

New public toilets are being installed across the district in response to demand from visitors and<br />

residents.<br />

With funding from the government’s Tourism Infrastructure Fund, the Council is currently installing a<br />

new three-pan public toilet at Castle Hill at a cost of $166,300. Early next year, new single pan toilets<br />

will be installed at Lake Georgina ($54,800) and Lake Selfe ($54,800) as well as another four-pan toilet<br />

at Dunsandel ($185,700).<br />

The installation of new non-funded toilets in the district include one at Ryton Bay ($57,625) which was<br />

opened last November, and a new four-pan toilet will be installed at Lincoln Domain ($186,800) early<br />

next year.<br />

Community Projects Manager Cam Warr says the funding from the government has allowed the Council<br />

to quickly provide more toilet facilities across the district to meet demand.<br />

“The government funding has allowed us to increase the number of available toilets at sites that have<br />

large numbers of visitors.<br />

We’ve also been able to replace older and less environmentally friendly toilets. It’s important to provide<br />

quality facilities, especially if we want people to use them,” Mr Warr says.<br />

The purpose of the Tourism Infrastructure Fund is to provide financial support for local tourism-related<br />

infrastructure where tourism growth (domestic and international) is placing pressure on, or potential<br />

growth is constrained by, existing infrastructure and the local community is unable to respond in a<br />

timely way without assistance.<br />

The fund provides up to $25 million per year for the development of tourism-related infrastructure such<br />

as carparks, freedom camping facilities, sewerage and water works and transport projects.<br />

Taking water from fire hydrants<br />

The Council is reminding commercial water users about restrictions<br />

on extracting water from fire hydrants.<br />

The Council does not provide a permit system for contractors to<br />

extract water from fire hydrants on the public potable (drinking<br />

water) network and contractors must not connect any equipment to<br />

the network.<br />

The only exception to this is on development subdivision sites<br />

where the Council permits developers to apply for a single<br />

connection point, which has a range of conditions including<br />

payment for the use of the water.<br />

Council Asset Manager Murray Washington says this policy is<br />

different to neighbouring authorities, but is needed to reduce the<br />

level of potential risk.<br />

“We take a cautious approach to protecting the health of our<br />

residents, and this has to take priority over the convenience of<br />

contractors,” he says.<br />

“The Council has considered the potential risks of contractor<br />

equipment being connected to the public supply, and decided there<br />

is potential for the equipment being unsterilised – and this is too<br />

great a risk.<br />

Mr Washington says contamination events have occurred in the past<br />

after contractors connected to the public supply to extract water.<br />

The Council is getting in touch with contractors across the district<br />

to make them aware of the policy.<br />

Any contractors who need further information should contact the<br />

Water Services Team on 347 2800.<br />

Takeaway coffee cups go<br />

into the red bin<br />

Disposable takeaway coffee cups go in your red lid rubbish<br />

bin. They are lined with plastic to make them waterproof so<br />

your drink doesn’t leak, but unfortunately this makes them<br />

unable to be processed through the recycling plant.<br />

Coffee cups can’t go in your organics bin<br />

either, even if it’s marketed as ‘compostable’<br />

or ‘biodegradable’. We cannot currently<br />

accept these in our composting process.<br />

Better yet, why not get a keep cup.<br />

Good news for the weekend tidy-up - the Pines Resource Recovery Park will now be open from 9am to<br />

4.30pm on Saturdays and Sundays.<br />

The new extended hours bring the weekend opening hours in line with weekday hours at the Recovery<br />

Park, in Burnham School Road near Rolleston.<br />

Council Solid Waste Manager Andrew Boyd says the longer weekend opening hours should be a bonus<br />

for residents.<br />

“With many of our residents working Monday to Friday, the weekend provides a good opportunity to<br />

catch up on work around the home, and chores such as taking rubbish to the Recovery Park.”<br />

Mr Boyd is hopeful the new closing time will also give users the opportunity to plan their days, allowing<br />

them make sure their rubbish runs are done with plenty of time to spare.<br />

For more information on Pines Recovery Park please head to selwyn.govt.nz/pines<br />

The revised opening hours are now in place.<br />

Leeston-Southbridge, Weedons<br />

open twenty20 season with wins<br />

LEESTON-Southbridge and<br />

Weedons both had perfect starts<br />

to their Canterbury country<br />

premier twenty20 campaigns on<br />

Saturday with two wins each.<br />

The opening round of the<br />

competition saw all eight topflight<br />

sides play two games each.<br />

Leeston-Southbridge batted<br />

first in their opening game<br />

against Oxford-Rangiora and<br />

racked up 132 runs in their 20<br />

overs. Opener Ben Chamberlain<br />

anchored the innings with 37<br />

off 46 balls, while Rupert Young<br />

contributed 36 off 29.<br />

They defended the total well,<br />

restricting the Oxford-Rangiora<br />

run chase and picking up timely<br />

wickets. Robert Clifford was the<br />

key man with the ball, picking<br />

up four wickets and conceding<br />

just 24 runs from his four overs.<br />

Oxford-Rangiora fell 14 runs<br />

short.<br />

Leeston-Southbridge then<br />

backed up the win, tipping over<br />

• By Allan Batt.<br />

Southbrook by eight wickets.<br />

After being set 156 to win,<br />

Young coolly went about<br />

knocking off the total. He<br />

opened the innings with an<br />

unbeaten 64 to guide Leeston-<br />

Southbridge home with five balls<br />

to spare.<br />

Meanwhile, in a thriller at<br />

Kirwee, Darfield and Weedons<br />

were unable to be separated in a<br />

rare twenty20 draw.<br />

However, with 140 runs each,<br />

Weedons took the win because<br />

they lost fewer wickets. Weedons’<br />

James Richards scored 40 to lead<br />

his team to a solid score of 140/7,<br />

with Anoop Surendran snaring<br />

three wickets for Darfield.<br />

Darfield’s Chris Warner led<br />

the reply with a blistering 61<br />

off 44 balls, with five sixes. But<br />

Weedons hung in the game with<br />

wickets at the other end. Lachie<br />

Stove was the chief destroyer<br />

with three key wickets, including<br />

Warner in the 16th over. The<br />

LINCOLN SPEEDWAY racer<br />

Jeremy Webb had no intention<br />

of racing both his TQ<br />

midget and his midget<br />

on the same night this<br />

summer at Ruapuna.<br />

But he has a burning<br />

desire to pay tribute to<br />

the late Ryan Stone, an<br />

early mentor of his on<br />

Saturday.<br />

Webb, the current<br />

New Zealand TQ<br />

champion has decided<br />

to enter the Ryan Stone Tribute<br />

race in his 750cc suzukipowered<br />

TQ, as well as<br />

contest a round of the Southern<br />

Midget Series on the same<br />

night in his 2700cc esslinger<br />

engine midget.<br />

“I guess it’s as<br />

good a time as any to<br />

start my preparation<br />

for February’s<br />

New Zealand TQ<br />

championship at<br />

Ruapuna this Saturday.<br />

If it wasn’t the Stoney<br />

race, I’d leave the TQ in<br />

the shed and focus on<br />

the midget, but Ryan<br />

means a heck of a lot to many<br />

of the TQ racers and his race is<br />

wickets proved pivotal with<br />

Darfield finishing on 140/9.<br />

In their second match, Sandeep<br />

Singh and Josh Watson both took<br />

three wickets as Weedons bowled<br />

Sefton out for 118 in 18.2 overs.<br />

Richards then had another fine<br />

knock of 47, while fellow opener<br />

Shannon Dunnett piled on 57 as<br />

Weedons secured an eight-wicket<br />

win with more than eight overs<br />

to spare.<br />

Darfield went on to beat<br />

Kaiapoi in their second game,<br />

while Cheviot got back on track<br />

with a victory over Oxford-<br />

Rangiora.<br />

KEY MAN: Josh Watson took<br />

five wickets in Weedons’ two<br />

wins at the weekend: PHOTO:<br />

KAREN CASEY<br />

Webb to honour late friend in midget race<br />

Jeremy Webb<br />

one of those got-to-win deals,”<br />

said Webb.<br />

Stone passed away in 2012<br />

after a battle with cancer and,<br />

although Webb is a two-time<br />

winner of the race held in<br />

memory of his good friend, he<br />

says that it goes deeper than<br />

that.<br />

“My father Dick was,<br />

like many others, a good<br />

mate of Ryan’s. Stoney put<br />

in a huge effort getting the TQ<br />

class to adapt the water-cooled<br />

750cc engines that made the<br />

class a lot more affordable than<br />

the air-cooled machines,” Webb<br />

said.<br />

“The fact that TQs remain<br />

relatively strong numberswise<br />

is largely due to Ryan’s<br />

perseverance,” said Webb.<br />

Not only is Webb having to<br />

crank-up his preparation to<br />

defend his national TQ crown,<br />

but he is again returning<br />

to Auckland to contest the<br />

international midget car series<br />

at Western Springs over the<br />

Christmas break.<br />

Last season, Webb’s efforts<br />

saw him win the Presidents Cup<br />

at the New Zealand Speedway<br />

Awards in recognition of his<br />

prowess in the two classes at a<br />

national level.<br />

West Melton Forest<br />

The pine trees in West Melton Forest were originally planted as a flood protection measure,<br />

now they continue to do their job whilst providing scenic tracks for horse riders of all abilities.<br />

There is a picnic area with hitching<br />

posts for horses. Walkers and runners<br />

are welcome, but it’s the horses that have<br />

the right of way here.<br />

The West Melton Forest is a section of<br />

the Waimakariri River Regional Park,<br />

covering approximately 350 hectares<br />

of pine forest between Chattertons and<br />

Weedons Ross Roads. The park entrance<br />

is off Chattertons Road, where a night<br />

gate is opened at 7am daily. During<br />

daylight savings the gate is locked at<br />

10pm, outside of this time it is locked at<br />

7pm. Background, the pine trees of West<br />

Melton Forest were originally planted<br />

as a flood protection measure, giving<br />

the stop banks a first line of defence<br />

against a flood. The development of<br />

the forest as a park was undertaken<br />

due to the increasing demand for safe<br />

horse riding facilities in the <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

District. Environment Canterbury<br />

worked in partnership with the <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

District Council to create an area where<br />

recreational horse riding is possible<br />

away from motorised activity while still<br />

maintaining flood protection.<br />

Lots of choices to participate in at the<br />

West Melton Forest.<br />

• Horse trails - 10km marked trail<br />

which is suitable for most levels<br />

of riding ability<br />

• Walks - although horses have the<br />

right of way<br />

• Picnics<br />

• Gas BBQ’s<br />

Water results for West Melton<br />

What does the Christchurch West<br />

Melton water zone committee do?<br />

The committee works with an on-the-ground<br />

team made up of Environment Canterbury<br />

staff and other Canterbury Water Management<br />

Strategy partners to implement work<br />

programmes in the Christchurch West Melton<br />

area.<br />

What are they aiming to achieve by<br />

2020?<br />

They’ve agreed on several areas of priority<br />

and outcomes to budget for and then act on<br />

in the Christchurch West Melton water zone,<br />

which they will measure progress against to<br />

2020.<br />

Boundaries With Other Water Management<br />

Zones The Zone shares boundaries with<br />

Banks Peninsula, <strong>Selwyn</strong> Waihora, and<br />

Waimakairiri Zones, with water moving into<br />

and out of the Zone: • The Waimakariri River<br />

flows through the Christchurch West Melton,<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong>-Waihora, and Waimakariri Zones of<br />

The Waimakariri upper catchment is in the<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> Waihora Zone of Christchurch, West<br />

Melton shares a boundary with the Waimakariri<br />

Zone along the lower parts of the catchment<br />

• The aquifers in the Zone are part of a larger<br />

groundwater system on the Canterbury Plains,<br />

with water moving both into and out of the<br />

Zone • The Halswell River/Huritini catchment<br />

flows from the Zone into <strong>Selwyn</strong>-Waihora<br />

Zone (towards Te Waihora/Lake Ellesmere) •<br />

The reticulated public water supply to Lyttelton<br />

Harbour/ Whakaraupō is supplied from<br />

groundwater in the Zone In addition, there is a<br />

Regional Committee for the Canterbury Water<br />

Management Strategy (CWMS) that considers<br />

crossboundary matters from a regional<br />

perspective. The Zone Committee will seek to<br />

ensure that an integrated approach to water<br />

management is taken that reflects catchments<br />

rather than administrative boundaries.<br />

Agri Magic farm environment<br />

plan template approved<br />

Environment Canterbury confirmed last<br />

week that Agri Magic’s farm environment<br />

plan template meets the requirements of<br />

the Canterbury Land & Water Regional<br />

Plan (LWRP).<br />

Under the LWRP, all farms requiring<br />

a land use consent to farm must produce<br />

an environmental plan to support it.<br />

Environment Canterbury chief executive<br />

Bill Bayfield said the Agri Magic template<br />

met the criteria of Schedule 7 of the LWRP,<br />

as modified by the Nutrient Management<br />

and Waitaki Plan Change (Plan Change 5),<br />

yet to be made operative.<br />

“Like the Farm Environment Plan<br />

Assessment Group, I was impressed with<br />

the explanation provided setting out<br />

how the template could be used as part<br />

of a package helping Agri Magic clients<br />

navigate through and comply with their<br />

environmental obligations,” Mr Bayfield<br />

said.<br />

“The template is comprehensive and<br />

focused on making sure clients are clear on<br />

risks and priorities for action.”<br />

Agri Magic director Charlotte Glass said<br />

the template was developed to help farmers<br />

identify the great things they already<br />

do and identify areas where they could<br />

improve.<br />

“Then we support them to develop<br />

practical, long-term, on-farm solutions,”<br />

she said.<br />

“We guide them to focus on practical<br />

changes that will result in resource use<br />

efficiency first, and then look at different<br />

SELWYN TIMES<br />

practices and technology that will be right<br />

for them.”<br />

The Land & Water Regional Plan is<br />

a primary delivery mechanism of the<br />

Canterbury Water Management Strategy.<br />

“It is reassuring to see in the Agri Magic<br />

template a methodology that will enable<br />

updating of plans and to identify and<br />

address actual and potential environmental<br />

effects and risks,” Mr Bayfield said.<br />

“We encourage all farmers to prepare<br />

farm environment plans, regardless of<br />

whether they’re needed by regulation.<br />

International markets are increasingly<br />

demanding proven sustainability, and<br />

farm environment plans are one way to<br />

demonstrate this.”<br />

Under Schedule 7 of the LWRP, FEPs<br />

can be prepared either by landowners<br />

themselves using guidance in the LWRP<br />

or via industry-prepared templates and<br />

guidance material.<br />

A minimum content is required, and all<br />

FEPs must include an assessment of the<br />

risks associated with the farming activities<br />

and how those risks will be managed.<br />

This includes irrigation, application of<br />

nutrients, management of effluent, stock<br />

exclusion from waterways, offal pits and<br />

farm rubbish pits. FEPs must be audited<br />

at regular intervals by Environment<br />

Canterbury-approved auditors.<br />

Magic’s work, go to www.agrimagic.co.nz.<br />

SELWYN RURAL LIFE<br />

Taking our agri message<br />

to Latin America<br />

Farmers, dairy product manufacturers<br />

and trade representatives in Uruguay<br />

and Argentina have been hearing a New<br />

Zealand take on current agricultural<br />

issues.<br />

Late last month Federated Farmers of<br />

NZ President Katie Milne was engaged in<br />

a busy schedule of speaking and meeting<br />

engagements in Montevideo and Buenos<br />

Aires in a programme put together by the<br />

Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI), the<br />

Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, and<br />

New Zealand’s Ambassador to Argentina,<br />

Paraguay and Uruguay, Raylene Liufalani.<br />

Ms Milne’s engagements in Uruguay<br />

included giving an address to a conference<br />

with the theme ‘Social innovation for a<br />

country with agricultural conscience’,<br />

a meeting with Uruguay’s Minister<br />

for Agriculture and Livestock, Enzo<br />

Benech, and visiting the PGG Wrightson<br />

Pas Research Centre to witness their<br />

operations in Latin America.<br />

The Argentine Congress on November<br />

22 included a Q&A session with Argentine<br />

Deputies and Senators, at which her topics<br />

included future farming challenges,<br />

the importance of co-operatives in<br />

New Zealand agriculture (dairy in<br />

particular) and the role of women in rural<br />

communities.<br />

Among other events, she also had<br />

discussions with CIL (Argentina’s dairy<br />

industry body) and spoke at a symposium<br />

of La Serenisima, a dairy product maker<br />

with more than 5000 employees and<br />

annual revenue of more than<br />

$NZ2 billion.<br />

During her visit she also met Uruguayan<br />

and Argentine farmers, including her<br />

counterparts, to hear first-hand the<br />

challenges they are facing in the region.<br />

While New Zealand has a much higher<br />

level of trade with Asian nations than<br />

those in Latin America, the latter is seen<br />

as offering significant opportunities –<br />

especially with Chile and Peru being<br />

signatories to the CPTPP. New Zealand is<br />

also exploring deeper trade engagement<br />

with MERCOSUR (Argentina, Brazil,<br />

Paraguay and Uruguay).<br />

With Argentina and Uruguay New<br />

Zealand has a long history of agricultural<br />

co-operation, including advocacy for<br />

freeing up global agricultural trade<br />

and promoting sustainable agricultural<br />

production. The three countries work<br />

together on global issues such as<br />

protecting Antarctica and the Southern<br />

Ocean, international security challenges<br />

and climate change solutions.<br />

According to Statistics NZ, in the year<br />

to September 2017, New Zealand gained<br />

export revenues from goods and services<br />

to Argentina of $134 million (with imports<br />

from Argentina at $222.6m). The figures<br />

for Uruguay for the same period were<br />

$27.6m and $8.9m.<br />

People to people links are strong and<br />

growing as a result of the direct Air New<br />

Katie Milne in<br />

Uruguay <strong>2018</strong><br />

Kaleidoscope of colourful capsicums<br />

• By Henri Ham<br />

SUMMER IS knocking on the<br />

door (well it should be), which<br />

means it’s now the perfect time<br />

to start planting capsicums in<br />

your garden.<br />

Capsicums, known in other<br />

countries as sweet bell peppers,<br />

are surprisingly easy to grow.<br />

Their main need is for a warm<br />

sunny environment. Once<br />

you’ve ticked off that, they’re<br />

really plant-and-forget veges –<br />

requiring little maintenance.<br />

But what I really love about<br />

capsicums is the way they<br />

change their colour as they<br />

ripen – showing off their<br />

kaleidoscope of colour.<br />

They all start out<br />

green and then<br />

change colour<br />

to yellow, then<br />

orange, and lastly<br />

red. And the<br />

longer they’re on<br />

the plant, the<br />

sweeter they will<br />

become.<br />

Another great<br />

thing about<br />

capsicums is that<br />

they cope well in<br />

confined spaces with<br />

little watering. This means<br />

they thrive well in a pot. Planting<br />

them in a pot also allows you to<br />

shift them around to maximise<br />

the sun, and also really show<br />

them off to your friends and<br />

curious neighbours.<br />

Green, yellow, orange, red and<br />

purple capsicum seedlings are all<br />

available now. And if you want<br />

a head start on your growing,<br />

there are also a toro (sweet red)<br />

variety available as an established<br />

plant. The toro (sweet red) has<br />

a distinctive horn shape to it.<br />

It differs from the classic red<br />

capsicum by being thinner,<br />

sweeter and taking less time to<br />

ripen.<br />

Capsicums like similar<br />

growing conditions to your<br />

tomatoes. They like a warm,<br />

sunny, sheltered and welldrained<br />

spot. Before planting,<br />

prepare your soil by digging in<br />

some compost, sheep pallets or<br />

general fertiliser. The richer the<br />

soil, the more generous your<br />

plant will be with its crop.<br />

Once you’ve prepared your<br />

ideal capsicum planting spot, dig<br />

holes about<br />

3cm<br />

deep,<br />

spacing them 40cm apart. Place<br />

the seedlings inside and<br />

lightly pack down with<br />

soil. I like to stake my<br />

seedlings at this point.<br />

‘If you stake it, they will<br />

grow,’ is my positivethinking<br />

attitude to<br />

capsicum growing.<br />

Add mulch to help<br />

keep the weeds down.<br />

Newspaper covered with<br />

pea straw can also<br />

work really well.<br />

And watch out for<br />

slugs, who are<br />

also big fans of<br />

capsicums. Lay<br />

down some<br />

bait or an<br />

organic option<br />

is to check out<br />

our beer bait,<br />

which you can<br />

make at home.<br />

From here, keep them<br />

SWEET: Capsicums like<br />

similar growing conditions<br />

to tomatoes. In two to<br />

three months you can start<br />

harvesting them.<br />

watered (more so for those in<br />

pots) and give them a feed of<br />

liquid fertiliser every fortnight<br />

to ensure a bumper crop. But try<br />

not to water the leaves of your<br />

capsicums, as this can encourage<br />

disease.<br />

In two to three months<br />

you can start harvesting your<br />

capsicums. Some cooks may say<br />

a watched pot never boils; well<br />

I say a capsicum never ripens<br />

when you check it every day.<br />

Well of course they do – but<br />

they quickly become the most<br />

inspected plant in my vege<br />

garden, while I’m waiting for<br />

them to really ripen up.<br />

Sunflowers bring out the inner child<br />

• By Henri Ham<br />

SUNFLOWERS ARE pure fun<br />

in the garden. They’re bright,<br />

cheery and bring out the inner<br />

child in us all.<br />

For me, they also release my<br />

competitive streak – where I<br />

can’t help but check out other<br />

people’s sunflowers and mentally<br />

compare them to ones I’m<br />

growing.<br />

After the erratic spring<br />

weather we’ve been having lately,<br />

<strong>December</strong> is the perfect time<br />

to start thinking about planting<br />

some sunflowers in your garden.<br />

Sunflowers come in all shapes<br />

and sizes. Varying in height<br />

(from to 60cm to 3m tall),<br />

and flowering in colours from<br />

crimson to orange, yellow and<br />

even stripes. Most sunflowers<br />

each produce a single flower<br />

head, although some branching<br />

varieties grow multiples. And<br />

the largest heads can grow up to<br />

50cm wide.<br />

Sunflowers are heliotropic,<br />

meaning they turn their heads<br />

throughout the day to gain maximum<br />

sun rays on their faces.<br />

So factor this in when you’re<br />

working out where to plant them<br />

in the garden. If you place them<br />

on the western border to your<br />

house, they’ll be facing away<br />

from you in the afternoon sun.<br />

When it comes to growing<br />

sunflowers, they are pretty easy.<br />

They require a sheltered, welldrained,<br />

but only moderately,<br />

fertile soil. However, it’s key that<br />

they’re planted in a super sunny<br />

spot that gets at least six to eight<br />

hours of daily sun.<br />

Try a classic, bright yellow<br />

flowering, single stem sunflower<br />

– the Russian giant. It definitely<br />

lives up to its name and can<br />

reach up to 3m high.<br />

I personally love the group impact<br />

they can make when grown<br />

in a bunch together or along a<br />

fence line.<br />

Dig holes around 3cm deep<br />

and plant your seedlings approximately<br />

30cm apart. Sunflowers<br />

can really suck the nutrients and<br />

water out of the ground around<br />

VIVID: Sunflowers can reach up to 3m<br />

high, like this Russian giant.<br />

them, so make sure any nearby<br />

annuals are around 30cm away<br />

from the sunflower stem.<br />

Now is also the time to stake<br />

them to ensure they don’t topple<br />

over later on. You’ll be amazed at<br />

how quickly they can shoot up,<br />

so its important to stake early<br />

before you risk damaging the<br />

root systems.<br />

Water your sunflowers in<br />

the morning to avoid root rot<br />

overnight. Once established they<br />

don’t really need any fertiliser,<br />

but adding some every few<br />

weeks is a good idea if you’re entering<br />

them in a tallest sunflower<br />

competition or just really want<br />

to show off.<br />

You can also grow sunflowers<br />

in pots. I recommend at least a<br />

30-litre pot, as you don’t want<br />

the sunflower to get top heavy<br />

and topple over. Again, stake it<br />

right from when you plant the<br />

seedling so you keep the root<br />

systems intact. Having them near<br />

a fence or wall where you can<br />

secure them to something else<br />

is also recommended to ensure<br />

their stems don’t break under<br />

their own weight.<br />

In two to three months your<br />

sunflowers should have risen and<br />

be shining proud in your garden.<br />

Later, when the heads begin<br />

to droop you can harvest their<br />

heads for seeds.<br />

Once harvested, soak the seeds<br />

over night in a lightly salted<br />

water. Then slow roast them<br />

for 40min at 150° deg C. Once<br />

cooled, store in an airtight jar<br />

in the fridge for two months or<br />

freezer for up to a year. Enjoy<br />

them added to salads or savoury<br />

baking for many months to<br />

come. Delicious.<br />

BRING oN<br />

summer<br />

Contrary to what we have had weather-wise of late, Summer is here so we need to<br />

look to protect our gardens for the long hot days ahead. As the year draws to a close,<br />

we will also be looking to prepare for the festive season full of entertaining friends<br />

and family and hopefully some relaxing.<br />

watering your gardenS<br />

Much the same as when watering your lawn, your<br />

garden will benefit from a watering for an hour or more<br />

every few days rather than a light sprinkling every day.<br />

This will ensure the moisture gets down deeper, and<br />

encourage the plant’s roots to go further down in the<br />

soil. This creates a stronger plant with well-established<br />

roots. Remember to water early in the morning or later<br />

in the evening to<br />

stop your plants<br />

drying out during<br />

the heat of the<br />

day. If you are<br />

unsure how much<br />

water your plants<br />

need, grab a handy<br />

moisture metre.<br />

Lawn Care through Summer<br />

Move your mower up a notch so you aren’t cutting it<br />

too short. Leaving a bit of height will help to protect<br />

your lawn from drying out so quickly. Water your lawns<br />

early in the morning and later in the evening, not in<br />

the heat of the day. Where possible, water for an hour<br />

or more to give it a good soak rather than a quick<br />

watering. A handy tip is to set a water timer and you<br />

can let it do its thing! Grab one in store or online today.<br />

entertaining outdoorS<br />

We love entertaining outdoors here in NZ, and<br />

now is a great time to get sorted in time for<br />

Christmas. A fresh layer of bark will tidy up the<br />

garden wonderfully, and some decorative stones<br />

will add a touch of something different around<br />

patios or pavers. If you are looking to create a new<br />

space, we have a great range of bark nuggets,<br />

mulch, chips, pavers and stones to help with your<br />

DIY projects.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

Equinox boosts Holden’s SUV range<br />

• By Ross Kiddie<br />

HOLDEN HAS gone big with its<br />

sport utility vehicle range. Not<br />

only is there a comprehensive<br />

array of models to choose from,<br />

they go from small to large –<br />

Trax to the new Acadia.<br />

While Acadia is the SUV of the<br />

moment, there’s another relatively<br />

new wagon in Holden’s book –<br />

the Equinox – a Mexican-sourced<br />

mid-size car which impresses<br />

more and more each time I’m in<br />

it.<br />

The Equinox lands here in a<br />

wide variety of models, it is a<br />

complete range starting from<br />

$35,990 and ending at $59,990, all<br />

with four-cylinder engines, and<br />

all turbocharged. Base models<br />

land with a 1.5-litre petrol unit,<br />

there is a 2-litre petrol and a 1.6-<br />

litre diesel.<br />

I’m yet to drive the diesel, but<br />

I can report that even in basemodel<br />

form the power plant is far<br />

from disgraced; it is a real honey<br />

and would probably be my choice<br />

if I was an Equinox buyer.<br />

However, this evaluation<br />

focuses on the range-topping<br />

2-litre LTZ-V petrol, which lists<br />

at $56,990 and is fully loaded<br />

with specification. It gets all the<br />

traditional SUV kit, but there are<br />

also many niceties that would<br />

please the South Island buyer –<br />

heated steering wheel and heated<br />

HOLDEN EQUINOX LTZ-V: Four-wheel-drive for gnarly<br />

off-road tracks.<br />

seats for the cold winters, dual<br />

sunroof, and cooling seats. Other<br />

major items include satellite<br />

navigation, cruise control, Bose<br />

premium audio, wireless mobile<br />

phone charging, hands-free<br />

tailgate and hill descent control.<br />

The latter works on four-wheeldrive,<br />

obviously, and while not<br />

all models have drive to all four<br />

wheels, the LTZ-V does, and it<br />

is usual SUV fare, not so much a<br />

device to tackle gnarly off-road<br />

stuff, but easily a mechanism so<br />

that cross-country tracks and<br />

trails can be conquered.<br />

On the media launch for the<br />

Equinox, Holden New Zealand<br />

incorporated an adventurous<br />

route out of New Plymouth,<br />

taking in Whangamomona<br />

through the Forgotten World<br />

Highway. The washboard<br />

roads were a real test for the<br />

suspension and driveline of<br />

the Equinox, but even those<br />

without four-wheel-drive coped<br />

admirably. The vehicle is capable<br />

and honest, it does well under<br />

testing conditions and does so<br />

without compromise. Occupant<br />

comfort is high, and the driveline<br />

mechanicals are well suited to<br />

tough conditions.<br />

Holden rates the 2-litre model<br />

with 188kW and 353Nm; for<br />

interest’s sake, the 1.5 gets 127kW<br />

and 275Nm, reinforcing my<br />

comment earlier that it doesn’t<br />

miss out on much.<br />

Quite obviously, the 2-litre<br />

doesn’t work quite as hard, and<br />

• Price – Holden Equinox<br />

LTZ-V, $56,990<br />

• Dimensions – Length,<br />

4652mm; width, 1843mm;<br />

height, 1697mm<br />

• Configuration – Fourcylinder,<br />

four-wheel-drive,<br />

1998cc, 188kW, 353Nm,<br />

nine-speed,automatic.<br />

• Performance –<br />

0-100km/h, 8.8sec<br />

• Fuel usage – 8.4l/100km<br />

it has more than enough power,<br />

it competes in the mid-size SUV<br />

market admirably. Against the<br />

stopwatch it will easily make a<br />

standstill to 100km/h sprint in<br />

8.8sec.<br />

More importantly, it is an engine<br />

that is gentle with fuel use. Holden<br />

claims an 8.4-litre per 100km<br />

(34mpg) combined cycle average.<br />

That sits well with the 9.8l/100km<br />

(29mpg) figure showing on the<br />

fuel usage readout during my<br />

time with the test car. At 100km/h<br />

the instantaneous readout sits at<br />

6.6l/100km (42mpg).<br />

Drive is channelled through a<br />

nine-speed automatic gearbox,<br />

the benefit of so many gears is<br />

the smooth and fluid way in<br />

which transmission is delivered.<br />

It’s almost impossible to pick<br />

shifts and determine which gear<br />

is actually allocated.<br />

In all circumstances the<br />

Equinox feels feisty with<br />

wonderful engine response –<br />

that’s the beauty of having such<br />

forceful low down torque, the<br />

engine constantly feels eager.<br />

I took the test car west to<br />

Hororata, and while there aren’t<br />

many corners on the roads<br />

heading to that settlement, I<br />

felt the North Island experience<br />

provided more than ample<br />

opportunity to gauge the<br />

Equinox’s potential in the tight<br />

stuff and I can report it is a<br />

champion in terms of handling.<br />

Holden New Zealand, and I<br />

guess its partner in Australia, is<br />

on a fairly solid direction in terms<br />

of marketing and promotion. The<br />

product which is arriving in our<br />

market is markedly different to<br />

what we have traditionally come to<br />

expect from the company.<br />

However, that’s a good thing,<br />

and the cars that are gracing our<br />

showrooms are aimed to satisfy<br />

families and fleet buyers.<br />

The Equinox is a car which<br />

competes well with some tough<br />

opposition. I like it, and I’m<br />

particularly looking forward to<br />

driving the diesel variant at some<br />

point, as well as getting behind<br />

the wheel of the Acadia on my<br />

home patch. They are both a<br />

breath of fresh air in the crowded<br />

SUV market.

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 />

THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave<br />

Rock Apartments ar expecting the<br />

Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off<br />

on a se tlement agr emen this w ek.<br />

Body corporate chairman Mike<br />

White said the group had gone<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 />

the agr ement, there’ l be no<br />

problem with them doing that.”<br />

The apartment suffere damage<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 />

Seven things you should ask a<br />

lawyer when buying a house<br />

Most people know that it’s a good idea<br />

to seek advice from a lawyer when buying<br />

a property. If you’re signing a binding legal<br />

document that involves the biggest financial<br />

transaction you’ll probably ever make, it<br />

makes sense to engage an expert to help.<br />

However, a lawyer or conveyancer isn’t<br />

just there to dot the i’s and cross the t’s<br />

on the contract. You should see them as a<br />

valuable source of support throughout the<br />

property buying process, not just someone<br />

to push the paperwork through at the last<br />

minute. Things can move fast in property<br />

transactions so it’s smart to start talking to a<br />

lawyer as soon as you start looking through<br />

‘for sale’ ads. Here’s what to ask them in the<br />

first instance:<br />

1. Are you a conveyancing<br />

specialist? It might seem obvious, but<br />

you really do want a lawyer that specialises<br />

in property transactions and knows the insand-outs<br />

of what you’re wanting to do. You<br />

may already have a great family lawyer, but<br />

if this isn’t an area they specialise in, then<br />

look elsewhere – you could even ask them<br />

for a recommendation.<br />

2. How much do you charge?<br />

Different lawyers and conveyancers have<br />

different fee structures, and pricing can<br />

vary dramatically, so it pays to have a clear<br />

understanding of what they will charge you<br />

from the get-go, and when it will be due.<br />

3. What clauses should I add?<br />

Your sale and purchase agreement can<br />

include clauses, such as a finance clause that<br />

means the offer is subject to you getting loan<br />

pre-approval from your bank. Talk to your<br />

lawyer about your individual circumstances<br />

and what clauses should be included in your<br />

contract, to best protect yourself. Talking<br />

about this early on will save you time when<br />

it comes to making an offer and the real<br />

estate agent or salesperson asks what clauses<br />

you’d like in the agreement.<br />

4. Can you explain the LIM to<br />

me? A LIM is a council file that includes<br />

all the information held about a particular<br />

property. These files can be chunky, complex<br />

and full of very detailed information about<br />

resource consents, zoning information,<br />

natural features that affect a property (like<br />

flooding) and more. Ask your lawyer or<br />

conveyancer to look over these documents<br />

and explain them to you, so you fully<br />

understand all aspects of the information.<br />

Your lawyer will know what to watch out for<br />

when reading through the documents and<br />

is the best person to spot any red flags for<br />

you.<br />

5. What do I need to know about<br />

a unit title property? If you are buying a<br />

unit title property, the seller must provide<br />

you with certain sets of information. Talk to<br />

your lawyer about the information you are<br />

entitled to and ask their advice on whether<br />

you should seek any further information.<br />

6. Will you check my sale and<br />

purchase agreement before I sign it?<br />

Don’t sign anything before your lawyer or<br />

conveyancer has read over it. Remember,<br />

a sale and purchase agreement is a legally<br />

binding document and there’s no going<br />

back once you have signed on the dotted<br />

line. Buying a home is a big financial<br />

decision, so it’s well worth taking the time<br />

to ensure you’ve done your due diligence<br />

and received the advice you need.<br />

7. What will happen on<br />

settlement day? Settlement day is when<br />

the property transfer goes ahead, and<br />

the house becomes yours. This day is the<br />

culmination of a lot of hard work and stress,<br />

but before you pop the champagne, several<br />

things need to happen in sequence between<br />

your lawyer, the seller’s lawyer, and your<br />

bank or lender. This can take time, so it’s a<br />

good idea not to be sitting outside the home<br />

at 9am with a moving truck. You can find a<br />

helpful settlement checklist on settled.govt.<br />

nz, the independent government website<br />

for buyers and sellers.<br />

If you’re not sure where to find a<br />

lawyer, you can ask family or friends for<br />

recommendations or check out www.<br />

propertylawyers.org.nz (part of the New<br />

Zealand Law Society) to find one in your<br />

area.<br />

For independent guidance and<br />

information on buying or selling, check<br />

Presenting your home for sale?<br />

The presentation of your home<br />

doesn’t mean spending thousands<br />

on an upgrade either! So why<br />

wouldn’t you want to do everything<br />

possible to make it appealing to<br />

prospective purchasers?<br />

Street appeal<br />

The exterior of your home is the first<br />

thing buyers will see, so the property<br />

needs to look well-kept and inviting. Take<br />

a look at your place from the street and<br />

see it through a buyer’s eyes. So, cut the<br />

lawns, trim trees, plants and hedges, add<br />

some garden lights and place a nice pot or<br />

plant by the front door. Ensure the house<br />

exterior is cleaned or freshened with new<br />

paint if necessary, hose down drives, paths<br />

and fences, put stylish new numbers on<br />

the house and perhaps buy a funky new<br />

letter box!<br />

Make an entrance<br />

Even if your entrance or hallway is<br />

small, you can still give it some wow! A<br />

large mirror adds light and makes an<br />

entrance look twice the size. Fresh flowers,<br />

candles or a stylish piece of art create an<br />

inviting first impression. Ensure floors are<br />

clean whether timber, tiles or carpet.<br />

Create space<br />

Light, air and space are three key<br />

factors in presenting a home to the<br />

best advantage. Open up curtains<br />

and windows and use lamps and light<br />

fittings for mood and ambience. Arrange<br />

furniture to maximise space and remove<br />

items that make the room appear<br />

cramped.<br />

Fresh feel<br />

Freshen rooms with new paint if<br />

necessary, but aim for neutral tones which<br />

are more versatile for buyers. Add a splash<br />

of colour in cushions, throws, artwork or<br />

a vase of flowers. Invest in a new duvet or<br />

bedspread and always make the bed!<br />

Clear out clutter<br />

Storage space sells but clutter<br />

complicates! Clean out your cupboards,<br />

shelves and garage, and get rid of<br />

unnecessary clutter. Buyers inspect<br />

wardrobes and cupboards so tidy them up<br />

and reduce the number of photos, books,<br />

nicknacks on display – they distract<br />

buyers, too!<br />

Beautify the bathroom<br />

Replace or resurface fittings if necessary,<br />

but otherwise you can simply beautify<br />

your bathroom with thorough and<br />

fastidious cleaning, thick opulent towels,<br />

a tray of beautiful soaps and some lush,<br />

green plants. Invest in a new shower<br />

curtain or laundry hamper, and maybe a<br />

sleek, modern towel rail.<br />

Clean clean clean<br />

Cleaning is a mandatory part of<br />

selling your home: have carpets, rugs<br />

and upholstery commercially cleaned<br />

and sanitised, clean drapes and blinds to<br />

look like new, polish glass and furniture,<br />

wash down all surfaces and fittings in<br />

the bathroom and kitchen, clean all light<br />

fittings, wash windows inside and out,<br />

deodorise your home to eliminate any<br />

odours from pets, cooking or smoke.<br />

Outdoor spaces<br />

Even a small patio, deck or terrace<br />

can be enhanced with a café table and<br />

chairs. Add some colourful accessories –<br />

placemats, candle lamps, pots and plants,<br />

and there you have an extra living area.<br />

If space is not limited, hang a hammock,<br />

string some outdoor lights, position a<br />

garden sculpture or create a water feature<br />

that buyers will love.<br />

Hire a handyman<br />

Squeaking doors, dripping taps, cracked<br />

tiles, broken fences, leaking toilets or<br />

appliances that don’t work are a turn-off<br />

for buyers. If you can’t repair or replace<br />

things yourself, then hire a handyman to<br />

make sure everything in your home works<br />

as it should.<br />

Finish it first<br />

Buyers want to see a finished home,<br />

not one that’s still being fixed! So finish<br />

everything before you list your home<br />

for sale, then launch it onto the market<br />

when it looks its absolute best – you have<br />

nothing to lose and everything to gain!

[Edition datE]<br />

Buying a lifestyle block<br />

City life getting you down? Dreaming of<br />

living in the country, where you ‘commute’<br />

from the breakfast table to a barn or your<br />

home office? It might look like an easy life but<br />

buying a lifestyle property can be a complex<br />

business.<br />

While living in the country has much<br />

to recommend it, you need to do more<br />

preparation for buying a place there than<br />

buying a pair of gumboots and comparing<br />

the merits of ride-on mowers.<br />

“We recommend comprehensive due<br />

diligence when buying any kind of property,<br />

but rural ones come with a whole extra set of<br />

things to think about compared to buying a<br />

straightforward stand-alone home in town,”<br />

says Kevin Lampen-Smith, chief executive of<br />

the Real Estate Authority (REA).<br />

Lampen-Smith says that while it’s tempting<br />

to focus on the dream wish list for your<br />

bucolic bolt-hole, but you should also<br />

compile a list of issues to be aware of (and<br />

people who can help you learn about them).<br />

“If the property you like is being sold by a<br />

licensed real estate agent, remember that you<br />

can ask them anything you like about it,” he<br />

says.<br />

“Rural real estate agents have special skills<br />

in this area and they’ll be able to help you<br />

figure out what information you need to<br />

make a well-informed decision. It’s also a<br />

good idea to get your lawyer onboard early to<br />

check titles, consents and other information<br />

that you gather in the process.”<br />

It might feel like you’re getting away from<br />

it all when moving out of town, but rural<br />

developments can be subject to rules that<br />

restrict what you can do. Lampen-Smith<br />

recommends getting your lawyer to check if<br />

there are any covenants on the property that<br />

might have an impact on a future business<br />

you may run there, or any planned building<br />

projects. You don’t want to invest in an<br />

alpaca herd for your new dream property<br />

only to find that it’s not allowed to carry any<br />

livestock. Similarly, it would be tough to<br />

discover that your subdivision plans are not<br />

permitted by council rules.<br />

Be aware that there may be tax implications<br />

if you’re planning to use the property as a<br />

business, Lampen-Smith says.<br />

“In general, if it is currently being used for<br />

a business that is tax-registered – whether<br />

that’s selling organic eggs, grazing stock<br />

or running a B&B – then the seller will<br />

probably add GST to the price. This means<br />

you’ll pay an extra 15 per cent, unless you are<br />

also registered for GST. Ask your lawyer or<br />

accountant to check if the house or any other<br />

buildings on the property are GST-exempt.<br />

They will also be able to advise you on<br />

whether you need to be GST-registered.”<br />

A good place to start when trying to figure<br />

out what tax obligations might attach to your<br />

purchase of the property is Inland Revenue’s<br />

property tax decision tree (available at<br />

http://www.ird.govt.nz/property/propertyterms-and-tools/property-decision-tree/),<br />

but keep in mind that it is always best to<br />

seek professional advice before you make a<br />

decision.<br />

Rural properties (like all properties) can<br />

also have easements on the title that relate to<br />

access, water or power. Lampen-Smith says<br />

you should ask your lawyer to check the title<br />

and work out what the easements are, and<br />

how they will have an impact on your rights<br />

and responsibilities as an owner.<br />

“For example, if the title allows a neighbour<br />

access to a piece of their land through your<br />

property, do you have any right to limit the<br />

type and frequency of that access if you buy<br />

it?”<br />

Be aware too that there may be ‘unofficial’<br />

easements operating; the incumbent owners<br />

may have an informal arrangement with their<br />

neighbours, but this may not remain when<br />

the property passes into new ownership.<br />

Things that we take for granted when living<br />

in urban environments, like water, sewage<br />

and access, can require more involvement in<br />

rural areas. Check the water sources for the<br />

property – if it has its own bore, are there<br />

limits on the amount of water you can draw<br />

from it? What is the process for ensuring it is<br />

safe to drink? What happens to wastewater<br />

and sewage? Are you prepared for life with<br />

a septic tank? Will the current owner ensure<br />

the tank is empty as a condition of sale?<br />

When it comes to access, will you share<br />

a private road or right of way with other<br />

properties? What will be your responsibilities<br />

and potential costs for maintaining it? Don’t<br />

forget that your neighbours may be involved<br />

in unglamorous activities at ungodly hours –<br />

check the zoning rules for nearby properties<br />

if you’re worried about noise, smells or traffic.<br />

You might think it’s lovely to have stock<br />

grazing out the window, but are you ready for<br />

a milk tanker driving past every morning? Be<br />

aware that the LIM will not always alert you<br />

to any pending or current NZTA decisions<br />

regarding local highway linkages that often<br />

divert traffic away from urban centres in<br />

favour of immediate rural areas on the town<br />

boundary. Check with NZTA if you think<br />

your property could be affected by road<br />

changes.<br />

“Like all property purchases, buying a place<br />

in the country requires careful, objective<br />

consideration,” Lampen-Smith says.<br />

“There are lots of great things about living<br />

on the land, but it’s best to be realistic about<br />

it. You don’t want to be like the former townie<br />

I met a few weeks ago, who mournfully told<br />

me that their lifestyle block had become “a<br />

life sentence”. Do your homework and you’re<br />

far more likely to live happily ever after in<br />

rural bliss.”<br />

New Neighbourhood offers<br />

coMMUNIty & LIfestyLe close to the city<br />

An attractive new neighbourhood<br />

on the outskirts of Christchurch<br />

being developed by reputable<br />

building company Generation Homes<br />

is creating plenty of interest among<br />

new-home buyers.<br />

Comprising a limited number of<br />

sites, the Copper Ridge subdivision<br />

on Halswell Junction Road offers the<br />

opportunity to live in an exclusive<br />

residential area conveniently close<br />

to Christchurch city. New residents<br />

can enjoy all the retail and service<br />

amenities of Halswell as well as<br />

historic parks and trails for recreational<br />

enjoyment near by.<br />

Copper Ridge is ideal for people at all<br />

stages of life, including young families,<br />

with the new Knights Stream Primary<br />

School next door, and a bike track,<br />

skate park and sports field across the<br />

road. In fact, the aim of Generation<br />

Homes is to build communities,<br />

not just new builds, company<br />

spokesperson Nadja Beker says.<br />

We aim to create<br />

security for families, fun<br />

for the kids to play outside<br />

with their neighbours and<br />

friends, and for people to<br />

know each other and look<br />

out for each other.<br />

The subdivision lots are being released<br />

in six stages. Stages one and two<br />

were released earlier this year with<br />

introductory pricing and there are<br />

a small number of lots left in these<br />

stages, Nadja says.<br />

“Based on the success of stages one<br />

and two, stage three release has just<br />

been brought forward, and includes<br />

nine lots.”<br />

The lot sizes range from 250sqm<br />

duplex lots up to large 715sqm lots,<br />

with the majority being 500sqm to<br />

650sqm. Prices for the house and<br />

land packages start at $459,000,<br />

with the majority being priced<br />

between $550,000 and $700,000.<br />

“The subdivision covenants will<br />

ensure a high-quality environment<br />

and building designs throughout the<br />

development.” Nadja says.<br />

Generation Homes is an established,<br />

national home builder with<br />

considerable experience in the<br />

Christchurch market, and specialising<br />

in providing home and land packages<br />

in the most desirable locations.<br />

“We develop architecturally designed<br />

house plans for each of our sites, and<br />

can change existing plans or develop<br />

new plans to suit individual clients’<br />

requirements. “The Generation Homes<br />

team works in partnership with each<br />

of their clients to deliver their dream<br />

home and to make the building<br />

process as easy and stress free as<br />

possible.” Nadja says.<br />

“One of the key advantages for clients<br />

working with Generation Homes is<br />

that we provide people certainty<br />

by offering fully fixed prices and a<br />

guaranteed move-in date.”<br />

Generation Homes also has the<br />

services of interior designer Mark<br />

Evans of Indigo Designers to call on.<br />

Mark undertakes a complete colour<br />

consultation with every client, ensuring<br />

the décor of their new home matches<br />

their personality and lifestyle.<br />

Property Market Update<br />

with Matson & Allan Real Estate<br />

Rolleston Property<br />

Development<br />

Unstoppable<br />

Torlesse Estate<br />

Not many local businesses are as old as<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> real estate firm Matson and Allan,<br />

which dates back to the 1800s. With offices<br />

in Rolleston, Leeston and Darfield, its<br />

team is well placed to observe property<br />

trends.<br />

Owner, Chris Flanagan says Rolleston’s<br />

massive expansion seems unstoppable.<br />

Lincoln and Prebbleton have also seen<br />

considerable growth with smaller<br />

developments in West Melton, Leeston,<br />

Darfield, Kirwee and Southbridge.<br />

Chris says Rolleston is a supply and<br />

demand situation with large tracts of land<br />

still to be developed. With the current<br />

slight oversupply, buyers are taking time<br />

to decide so a property’s selling price<br />

needs to be right. As supply eases back, the<br />

market should correct itself.<br />

Buyers from Christchurch are<br />

attracted by <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s country setting<br />

and the prospect of a brand new home<br />

for the price of an older one in town.<br />

Increased amenities, industrial growth,<br />

The Warehouse, other larger businesses,<br />

and the future motorway make this area<br />

attractive. Easier, quicker access to the city<br />

may also lift house values, long-term.<br />

Some Rolleston families are upsizing<br />

as they grow, however Chris sees little<br />

downsizing with Rolleston’s make-up<br />

mainly middle-aged and young families.<br />

In contrast, West Melton has been a town<br />

where people want space for a business,<br />

their toys, or the children to play.<br />

Matson and Allan are agents for<br />

Branthwaite (Rolleston) where the bulk<br />

of the 300 sections have sold in just 12<br />

months, and the smaller newer Bellfield<br />

subdivision in Southbridge, consisting of<br />

55 affordable sections, which are selling<br />

steadily.<br />

Torlesse Estate just a kilometre from<br />

Darfield is to be released in stages. Land<br />

sizes range from 11 one hectare blocks<br />

to 170 sections of 1,000-5,000sqms and a<br />

few smaller sections in a rural setting with<br />

green space and walkways to town.<br />

Chris says people weigh up the saving<br />

on land against the cost of travel and when<br />

petrol prices rise, the market tends to slow.<br />

“The further out you go, there tends<br />

to be fewer buyers so the price must<br />

be attractive to account for a longer<br />

commute,” reminds Chris.<br />

Canterbury has such a great farming<br />

reputation and is a popular place to farm<br />

because of its versatility and productive<br />

soils so prices reflect this.<br />

“The last two dairy farms I sold achieved<br />

the highest price per hectare for dairy<br />

farm sales in New Zealand,” says Chris.<br />

“We are finding many farmers are<br />

prepared to pay more to be closer to<br />

amenities, airports, good schooling and<br />

city life,” explains Chris.<br />

Lifestyle block sales are steady in<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong>. Buyers fall away once the price is<br />

over $1million. Chris says GST can also<br />

be a key as people who purchased their<br />

blocks 15-20 years ago claimed the GST so<br />

must pay the GST when selling, pushing<br />

the price up. GST registration is now<br />

discouraged for non-productive lifestyle<br />

blocks.<br />

Matson and Allan is an independently<br />

owned and locally operated business with<br />

agents who live and work locally and sell<br />

real estate 100% of their time, they form<br />

relationships with their communities,<br />

emphasise customer service and followup.<br />

Protecting your family’s privacy and<br />

security when holding an open home<br />

When selling a property, many people<br />

are uncomfortable with the idea of<br />

strangers looking through their house<br />

when they’re not present. However,<br />

holding an open home is often the best<br />

way to show off the place to potential<br />

buyers.<br />

Welcoming house hunters (and let’s<br />

be honest, a few nosy neighbours) to a<br />

property does come with privacy and<br />

security risks that vendors should be<br />

aware of – and plan for.<br />

“It’s natural for sellers to have concerns<br />

about privacy and security – after all,<br />

you’re inviting complete strangers into<br />

your family’s home,” says Real Estate<br />

Authority (REA) Chief Executive Kevin<br />

Lampen-Smith.<br />

Lampen-Smith suggests sellers prepare<br />

by taking note of any items of sentimental<br />

or monetary value that should be removed<br />

from the property.<br />

“Think about items that could easily be<br />

slipped into a pocket or handbag, such as<br />

jewellery, silverware, small electronics or<br />

even the prescription medication stored<br />

in your bathroom cabinet. Tucking them<br />

away in your sock drawer or under your<br />

bed won’t do the trick,” Lampen-Smith<br />

says.<br />

Something that’s often overlooked by<br />

sellers opening their house to potential<br />

buyers is the risk of identity theft. It might<br />

sound far-fetched, but sellers who leave<br />

important documents like passports,<br />

bank statements or credit card receipts<br />

lying around are leaving themselves<br />

vulnerable. Lampen-Smith recommends<br />

these sorts of documents be tidied away<br />

and stored somewhere secure.<br />

Next, do a digital sweep of the property.<br />

The family PC or office desktop should<br />

be switched off and password protected.<br />

USB sticks or hard drives that are loaded<br />

with personal information should also be<br />

stored securely.<br />

“While this might sound like plain<br />

old common sense to many, I’ve heard<br />

of a seller leaving a post-it note with the<br />

house alarm code right next to the alarm,<br />

for anyone to come back and deactivate<br />

later,” Lampen-Smith recalls.<br />

Sellers should talk to their real estate<br />

agent or salesperson about how the actual<br />

open home will be conducted.<br />

“Ask if there will be a sign-in register,<br />

where visitors provide their name and<br />

contact information when they arrive at<br />

the showing. This is a helpful tool for the<br />

agent when it comes to following up with<br />

potential buyers, and, in the case that<br />

something is damaged or stolen during<br />

the open home, the information can be<br />

passed onto police,” Lampen-Smith says.<br />

The agent is required to be present at<br />

the viewing and shouldn’t leave potential<br />

buyers alone at the property. Ideally,<br />

the agent should accompany visitors as<br />

they tour the house, but this isn’t always<br />

possible if the showing gets busy. Sellers<br />

could ask that a second person from the<br />

real estate agency be on-site during the<br />

open home, to greet visitors at the door,<br />

ask them to sign in and wait until the<br />

agent is free to show them through.<br />

Sellers who still feel uneasy about<br />

having an open home could ask the agent<br />

to show the property ‘by appointment<br />

only’ to potential buyers.<br />

“There’s no law saying you must have<br />

an open home. Remember, it’s your<br />

house and ultimately you don’t have to do<br />

anything you’re uncomfortable with,” says<br />

Lampen-Smith.<br />
