ROLLESTON TOILET TAGGING
Police want to identify these people
• By Emily O’Connell
POLICE ARE appealing to the
public to help identify three people
after toilets were tagged in two
Rolleston parks.
Graffiti was drawn on toilets
in Brookside Park between 5.32-
5.36pm on January 3 and on toilets
at Rolleston Reserve between 12.03-
12.19am on January 5.
Sergeant Alex Pickover appealed
for the public to help identify those
in the photos (right).
Hundreds of dollars were spent on
removing the graffiti.
The Rolleston Reserve Management
Committee is responsible for
both parks and its chairman Jens
Christensen said it was disappointed
with the tagging incidents.
“The committee has a policy of
zero tolerance of crime including
vandalism and all offending
is reported to the police,” Mr
Christensen said.
He said along with the committee
spending hundreds of dollars on
the materials to remove the tags,
caretakers have spent “quite a bit
of time” removing the graffiti and
searching recorded footage for
suspects.
Mr Christensen said there are 22
cameras in Rolleston Reserve and
several in Brookside Park.

IF YOU have a Toyota Hilux and you don’t
happen to be driving it, make sure it’s
locked.
They have been disappearing at a
concerning level in the district (see page 3).
Selwyn police don’t have a tally as
to how many were stolen in the district during 2018, but in
Christchurch 133 were whisked away by thieves.
In 2017 and 2018, the Hilux was the second best selling new
vehicle in the country.
Older models are being stolen for parts.
So if you have a Hilux, make sure it’s in the garage at night.
Police have gone proactive in their bid to clamp down on
tagging in Rolleston (see page 1).
They have released photos of three gentlemen they’d like to
have a word with.

Theft of Toyota Hiluxes
a ‘constant issue’ in the district – police
• By Anan Zaki
A POPULAR ute has caught the
attention of thieves.
Toyota Hiluxes are being
stolen in large numbers across
Canterbury.
In Christchurch last year,
133 were stolen and more were
taken in Selwyn
and North
Canterbury.
Rolleston
Senior Sergeant
Pete Stills
said the theft
of Hiluxes
Pete Stills
has been a
“constant issue”
in Selwyn.
He recommends people secure
their vehicles in a garage or fit
them with an immobiliser or
alarm.
Acting Canterbury district
commander Inspector
Peter Cooper said due to its
popularity, the ute is being
“routinely targeted.”
Older models may also be
stolen for parts, he said.
In 2017 and 2018, the
Hilux was the second best
selling new vehicle in New
Zealand. The top selling vehicle
was the Ford Ranger ute.
Rangiora Sergeant Colin
Stewart said there was a
“significant increase” in Hilux
thefts in the area about two
months ago.
“We go through stages where
it appears they target Hiluxes.
There is a market out there – it’s

said.
But the situation has improved

MASEFIELD DRIVE WORK
Work is expected to start on
the footpath and cycleway
along Masefield Drive,
Rolleston, at the end of
the month. The footpath
and cycleway outside The
Warehouse currently ends as
the road narrows around a
bend. The district council and
the developers of Rolleston
Square, where The Warehouse
is sited, have been at odds over
which should pay to fix the
problem. District council assets
manager Murray Washington
said it does not have a specific
day scheduled for the work to
start. It will include kerb and
channel work, seal widening
and edge line painting.

An overturned trailer attached

Man seriously
injured after
tractor ignites
• By Anan Zaki
A MAN was taken to hospital
with smoke inhalation after
a tractor fire near Leeston on
Sunday.
Two fire trucks from Leeston
and Dunsandel were called to a
property on Allens Rd at about
1.55pm.
Firefighters saw a middle-aged
man sitting on grass near a shed
where the tractor was stored.
He was taken to Christchurch
Hospital in a serious condition, a
St John Ambulance spokesman
said.
The shed was not
damaged from the fire, Leeston
chief fire officer Lloyd Clausen
said.
“It was contained in probably
about 10 minutes,” he said.
“The initial call was that there
was a tractor inside a shed and
we expected to see the shed fully
engulfed in flames. But luckily it
was just the tractor.”
The cause of the fire was
unknown at this stage, he
said.
The tractor had not been
used for four days when the fire
started.
Library ready for more users
• By Emily O’Connell
AMONG THE new
developments in Tai Tapu is
a historic building that needs
people – the library.
The library, which has a long
history in the area, was opened
at its Old Tai Tapu Rd site in
1932.
Head librarian Marian
White is wanting more people
to make the most of the library
and says it could be used as
a meeting place for different
groups, such as a children’s
play group or craft group.
“We just thought we’d like
to let people know that the
building was available for
other things beside being a
library,” Mrs White said.
The library, which is run by
volunteers, has a small kitchen,
a computer, WiFi, a large table
which could be used for craft
work and group sessions and
a big lawn suitable for outdoor
activities.
Mrs White said the library
has a “particularly good”
children’s area and “the best”
collection of non-fiction books
about New Zealand in the
district.
She said it has “at least” 200
books about New Zealand,
from very historic ones to the
latest reads.
Popular genres in the library
include modern and historic
fiction along with children’s
books, Mrs White said.
She said the library has
a lot of “local books and
information” and librarians
can assist people in finding
out more about their family
history.
There is no charge for
people or groups wanting
to use library and it’s open
from 2-4pm on Tuesdays and
Thursdays and from 10amnoon
on Saturdays. Mrs White
said groups are welcome to
use the library outside of its
opening hours.
•If you are interested in
using the library or would
like more information
phone Mrs White on 329
6021.
HISTORY: Head
librarian Marian White
is encouraging the
community to make the
most of the Tai Tapu Library
and its facilities.

“I dream of a Pacific where this terrible disease has
been eradicated and can no longer cause fear, stigma
and discrimination in families and communities.”
Lorena and three of her children were diagnosed with leprosy.
Lorena says “Although our leprosy could be cured, we knew that
sometimes there can be serious effects from the disease, like
disabilities. I was terrified that more of my children would get sick.
But then the Pacific Leprosy Foundation started its new programme
which gives medicine to the rest of the family so that they are
much less likely to get leprosy. It was wonderful to have that
reassurance! Now I want the rest of the countries in the Pacific
to be able to take part in this programme, but I know that costs a lot
of money.”

treatment for one household contact of a

Cancer battler’s condition deteriorates
• By Anan Zaki
THE CONDITION of a Rolleston
woman using alternative
treatments to treat breast cancer
has deteriorated dramatically.
Nina Rodger’s husband Bruce
told Selwyn Times yesterday she
was taken to hospital on Sunday
and was transferred to Nurse
Maude hospice in Christchurch.
Her situation was not good.
Mrs Rodger, a mother of two,
was diagnosed with breast cancer
three years ago and her stage 4
cancer had spread through her
body.
In early December, Mrs Rodger,
36, was using alternative methods
– including a change of diet,
natural supplements and oils.
“Things were slowly going
downhill after Christmas,” he
said.
“Last Monday, she got checked
into hospital because she had fluid
in her lungs.”
Doctors drained more than two
litres of fluid from her lungs, Mr
Rodger said.
“It was in an area that was only
meant to have 2mL [of fluid],” he
said.
After draining the fluid, doctors
thought her condition would
improve and came up with a
chemotherapy plan.
“She got sent home on Thursday
and she immediately started
going downhill. Lymphangitis
just happened to take over her
lung,” Mr Rodger said.
Fluid in the body was filling
up Mrs Rodger’s lungs and made
breathing difficult.
Her family has been at her
bedside since being transferred to
the hospice.
“Nina is a fighter. The most
important part is our faith. We’re
not giving up on a miracle,” Mr
Rodger said.
“The kids took it hard. Having
to be told this [Monday] morning,
it was the hardest thing I have
ever done in my life.”
Family and friends had rallied

around for “amazing” support, he
said.
The family had also received
support from the public since the
Selwyn Times article about Mrs
Rodger last month. “People are
phenomenal. Just the messages
of hope and donations were
amazing,” Mr Rodger said.

Police want
help to
find taggers
•From page 1
District council property
and commercial manager
Douglas Marshall said the
tagged toilets at Rolleston Reserve
were installed in January
last year and cost $170,709.
Mr Marshall said there has
been an increase in the cost of
graffiti clean-up in Selwyn this
financial year compared to the
last year.
“In the period from June
to November 2018, tagging
removal has cost the district
council about $14,000, compared
to $6000 for 2017/18
financial year,” he said.
“In addition to the above
costs, graffiti is also removed
by local caretakers or via
members of the local volunteer
reserve committees,” he
said.
Sergeant Alex Pickover believes
the tagging at the parks
was done out of boredom.
He wants anyone who
recognises the tags or
the people to phone the
Rolleston Police Station
on 363 7400 and quote the
reference 190107/9848 for the
Rolleston Reserve incident
and 190104/1753 for the
Brookside Park incident.

Vehicle involved in head-on
crash had baby on board
• By Anan Zaki
A BABY and three others
escaped unharmed after
a head-on crash at
Waimakariri Gorge
Rd on Saturday.
The crash
happened about
10.20pm, Sheffield
chief fire officer

woman and a baby – and
a gold Kia Sportage sport

involved in the
crash.
The vehicles
were travelling at
about 40km/h near
the Waimakariri
Gorge bridge when
they crashed, Mr
Croy said.
“It was enough to get the
two vehicles damaged. The
airbags had gone off in the
Kia and the front wheels
had gone off in the Nissan
ute,” he said.

Further work
for Sparks Rd
• By Anan Zaki
WORK HAS started on a new
cycleway and infrastructure
upgrades in Halswell and Hoon
Hay.
The city council project will
take place on Sparks Rd, between
Victors and Hendersons Rds.
Work started last week.
Construction of the water main
will take several months, the city
council said.
Contractors from Fulton Hogan
will first trench the intersection,
place in the water pipes and then
backfill the area.
The new cycleway – part of the
Quarryman’s Trail route – will
also take several months to complete.
Work on both the cycleway and
water main is expected to finish
by the end of July and work will
be carried out between 7am and
7pm every day.
Lane shifts and shoulder
closures will be in place while
the work is being carried out and
residents will have access to their
properties at all times, the city
council said.
Last year, the city council
completed work on the first
stage of the Quarryman’s Trail
between Moorhouse Ave and
Victors Rd.

in a not-so-traditional feast of
fish ’n’ chips.
Now we’re back into the swing
of first birthdays.
It started on Saturday with the
most important one (for me and
Laura anyway) – Vittoria’s.
No one tells you how many
first birthday parties you end up
going to after you have a kid, but
it makes a whole heap of sense
when you actually think about it.
It’s seemed like we’ve had one
at least every second weekend
over the last couple of months.
It’s great, they’re not quite
completely for the kids yet, so
they still have plenty to keep the
adults entertained too.
They’re the perfect blend of
your favourite finger foods from
childhood, kids party games and
the opportunity for extremely
responsible drinking.
I kind of feel like we cheated

Fire rages, homes at risk
year, we prepared for her arrival
via caesarean at 10.31am on
Friday, January 12.
I’m not ashamed to admit that
in spite of my unflappably stiffupper-lipped
support of Laura
through the operation, I was a
blubbering wreck as soon as I
saw Vittoria.
Just under a week later we
brought her home. She was
such a quiet wee thing, mostly
sleeping.
It was terrifying and exciting.
I feel like I’m getting pretty
good at parenting, which is good
because she is no longer quiet or
prone to sleeping.
In fact over the last few days
she decided she didn’t need three
naps a day anymore, as she is a
big girl now. She also worked on
polishing her tantrum abilities
and showed signs of getting
picky with food (shudder).
But she’s still just as keen on
cuddles as she’s ever been, is
laughing a lot and is always
curious about the world around
her.
I hope those things don’t
change for a long time to come.

Sustainability key
to organic farming
There’s something for
everyone in the realm of
organic farming but as far
as Bill Martin is concerned,
it’s all about sustainability.
The Training College
Manager at Lincoln
University’s Biological
Husbandry Unit Organics
Trust (BHU) is happy to see
a surge in enthusiasm for
organic food production
as younger generations
become more aware of
environmental concerns.
He says the growing
popularity of organic
production in recent years
means that graduates are
now taking what they have
learned into a broader
range of sectors.
“It’s not just about
growing, wholesaling
and retailing food anymore. They’re
going into schools and teaching primary
and secondary schoolers about the
importance of sustainable farming and
gardening and really starting to embed the
philosophy into the education system.”
As far as conventional agricultural
practices are concerned, he says farmers
should be encouraged to optimise their
production, rather than maximise it at the
expense of the environment.
“We need to change our agricultural
paradigm and re-evaluate our priorities.”
Mr Martin says those interested in a
career in organics should enrol in the
one-year Diploma in Agri-Food Production
course, which is open to students either
with or without university entrance.
Introduced last year, it includes Tikanga
and Mahinga Kai components and can
lead to employment in organic primary
production or other sectors related
to organics, especially education and
hospitality.
“The course offers a good grounding
in the principles of organic agriculture,
teaching the philosophies and histories
of organics and providing practical
knowledge of how they are applied,” Mr
Martin says.
Apply now for the Diploma in Organic
Agri-Food Production and begin studying
in February 2019.

WILD: Feral cats have come under the spotlight after the
Springfield Township Committee presented a deputation on
them to the district council at its meeting last month. ​
RAID: Cigarettes
and cash were
stolen in a
break-in at
Lincoln’s
Robert Street
Convenience
Store.
A reader responds to a
Selwyn Times article on a
call to eradicate feral cats
Rob Anderson – I’m in favour
of this but with some reservations.
The whole project needs
to be managed in such a way that
the residents are given plenty of
notice that a culling programme
is planned. We need dates, times
and locations of the eradication
programme so that people who
are cat owners living in proximity
to bushland, reserves and
associated areas planned for
culls can take precautions like
microchipping their pets and/or
keeping them out of harm’s way.
How about offering cat owners a
rates rebate in return for having
their pets microchipped – just a
nominal amount of $10 or $20
per cat would be an incentive and
help the council get to grips with
the real problem?
Readers respond to a
Lincoln dairy being ramraided

that’s what happens when the
Government makes it more

no matter what they do they will

Our People
SELWYN TIMES
Fire chief and rural postie has a
Sheffield chief fire officer
Neville Croy, 67, has been
firefighting for 47 years.
Emily O’Connell talks
to him about why he
became a firefighter, his
most memorable call-out
and his love of cars
How long have you been a
firefighter?
Since 1971.
Why did you join?
Most probably to help people
in need, because every time the
siren goes someone is needing
some help. And to help the
community out.
Is anyone in your family also
a firefighter?
Yes, my dad Wilfred was one
of the foundation committee
members when it was the
Sheffield Volunteer Rural
Firefighting Committee. That
was from 1956 to 1964 he did
that, before it became part of
the fire service. Him and a
chap with name of Pat Keating
bought the local service station,
they had this local garage, the
Sheffield Garage. There was a
new garage built in about 1951 I
think and when they got the fire
engine in 1956, it was stored in
what used to be the old garage.
They bought it from the New
Brighton Fire Brigade and it was
a 1922 Leyland and that’s now
in Ferrymead Heritage Park. My
younger brother David was also
a firefighter but he moved over
to Australia. He was in it for six
years.
Do you remember what your
first call-out was?
The first one of any recognition
was the Springfield Hotel.
What happened there?
It just caught fire, where they
used to store the kegs of beer. We
were sitting on the back of an old
Ford V8 and I had just got home
from town so it was about 2am
or 3am and it was a freezing cold
winter’s morning and we had
to sit on the back all the way to
Springfield.
How did you feel going to that
call-out?
Nervous because you don’t
know what you’re going to and
that. I was young and fearless,
and you didn’t seem to think
about it, you just did it.
How and when did you come
to being the chief firefighter?
I think I’ve been a fire chief
for 36 or 37 years now . . . you
went from fireman, then you
were secretary, then you were
treasurer, then you were station
officer, then senior station officer,
you went through the ranks.
What are your
responsibilities as chief?
As chief, the main one these
days is fireman health and safety
and well-being. And just to
make sure the brigade is running
alright, and your finances are
kept right, it’s just like running a
business.
What has been your most
memorable call-out and why?
Oh there have been so many.
I was working up at Springfield
at the time, and we had a
motor vehicle accident call to
Windwhistle which is miles away
and it was a load of Japanese
people and the person who
passed away was the only one
who could speak English. That
was my first MVA. I was in the
Sheffield brigade but Springfield
got called out and when I was
working up in the garage there, I
would go with them.
What do you enjoy about
firefighting?
The camaraderie and being
with 16 guys who you can totally
trust in and go into a lot of
situations where most people
would walk away from, knowing
that those guys would stick
right behind you . . . and you’re
helping people out.
What is the hardest part
about being a firefighter?
The hardest part would be
commitment to the fire service
to do your job properly and
yet still have a home life. The
hours that sometimes are
expected of you and that you do,
your children and partner can
go to lots of things or do things,
that you should be part of and
can’t because you’re out doing
something else. Which is
a totally voluntary thing, it’s
your call to do that but that’s
the hardest thing I suppose as
well as telling someone their
loved one has been hurt, things
like that, that’s not the nice side
of it.
Were you helping out during
the Port Hills fire and/or
earthquakes?
Yes we had crews going to the
earthquake and the Port Hills
fire.
How were those experiences?
I suppose it was just the same,
a fire is a fire, it was hilly and
we have hills out here with
Porters Pass and all that. Local

HUNTER
knowledge of where to go was
a big thing. Country guys in
that town area, it takes a bit to
get your bearings. It went well.
I was pleased with our brigade’s
performance anyway.
How do you process the
tragedy you experience as a
firefighter?
The fire service has got a really
good support system with Fire
and Emergency New Zealand
now. It’s improved ten-fold over
the years. Normally, we sit down
the guys at the station and we
can have a yarn. For a while I
was a solo dad and the support
system wasn’t as efficient as it is
now. You used to just put it out
of your mind and just think of
the next one. But I’ve got a really
good partner now, Heather, and
so if I have to say something,
she’s there and it stays there, it
stays in-house . . . you don’t get
hardened to it, but unfortunately
it’s a part of life.

children?
My own two daughters are
Michelle and Amy, they both live
at Kirwee. And I’ve got two stepdaughters,
one lives in Australia,
Sarah, and Rach lives in Kaiapoi.
How many call-outs would
Sheffield get a year?
I think the last few years, it’s
been between 80 and 87 a year.
How long have you lived in
Sheffield?
Sixty-fours years. I had three
months away flatting as a

the rest of your life?
I was born in Rangiora and we
moved over here when I was two
or three-years-old.
What do you do or have you
done for work?
I had my very first job when
I was 17-years-old was on the
toll exchange at the post office. I
managed Apex Tyres in Darfield
for a while, I got the sack from
Dunlop because I wouldn’t join
the union and then I bought the
rural mail run . . . and then when
I got married I went and worked
for Bandag and my wife Rosie
did the mail. And then when we

took the garage over from dad,
he took over the mail run. We
had the garage for about seven or
eight years and when we sold that,
I bought the mail back off him . .
. I’ve got the combined Sheffield
and Springfield rural mail run
now. When I’m not doing the
mail, I’m trying to sell cars.
What schools did you go to?
Sheffield Primary School and
Darfield High School.
What are some of your
hobbies?
Cars, going to car shows,
family and our wee dog Sophie
the bichon. Heather, who is
now into cars as well, and I are
members of three different car
clubs, the Canterbury Vintage
Car Club, the American Classic

Fire rages, homes at risk
SMALL GRASS FIRE
It took Rolleston and Burnham
firefighters a few minutes to
extinguish a small grass fire
in Rolleston at about 8pm on
Thursday. Senior station officer
Graham Petersen suspects the
blaze, on the corner of Two
Chain and Aylesbury Rds, was
caused by a bird striking a
power line. He said the fire did
not cause any damage.
RATA FOUNDATION GRANT
The Mt Cheeseman Ski Club
has received a $5000 grant from
the Rata Foundation. The grant
will go towards earthworks for

There were 19 gaming venues
which contributed to the grants,
including the Prebbleton Tavern

I was announced as the winner.”
As a physical trainer in the health
and fitness industry for over 20
years, with 17 of those years in the
Army, Kaz has worked with people
of all fitness levels, life experiences
and challenges. “Whether I’ve
been training Army enlistees, elite
sportspeople and teams, or males
and females of all ages and stages of
life, one thing has remained the same
- my determination to help them
become physically the best versions
of themselves.”
When she left the Army, Kaz’s health
and fitness suffered. “Even with all
my knowledge and experience I still
managed to fall into an unhealthy
eating trap, so I know how easy it is
to let bad habits creep in.”

Positive impact
from youth council
Former
Selwyn
Youth
Council
chairwoman
Paige
Sullivan reflects
on some of its
achievements last
year
THE SELWYN Youth
Council finished the year
in high spirits with the
success of Boost Out, the
youth council’s final Boost
2018 event. It included
a skate jam, live mural
paintings, food trucks,
and live youth bands.
There is the possibility of
the 2019/20 youth council
to continue this now
established set of events.
The youth council is
appreciative of the support
the community has shown
us through these events,
specifically through a large
turnout at Boost Spook, a
haunted house maze.
The 2019/20 youth council
has now been selected. I
am excited to see what this
group will bring to the table,
with a large diversity of
ages and experiences that
will represent the youth
of Selwyn for the next two
years.
Selwyn Link has proven
to be successful in pushing
for change in our public
transport. There are currently
two trials proposed
by Metro and Environment
Canterbury – Leeston
to Christchurch and
Darfield to Christchurch.
Surveys were collected via
the Metro website and also
through letterbox drops
in the relating townships.
Survey responses closed
last month.
The youth council also
recently distributed a
Selwyn Youth Residents
Survey. The results of these
have been collected, and
have shown that:
•97 per cent of young
people feel safe, secure and
comfortable in their community
•93 per cent of young
people feel that they can be
themselves in Selwyn
•94 per cent of young
people believe that council
facilities are good
There were also lots
of new ideas and also
concerns presented
through the survey
responses, which gives the
2019/20 youth council a
solid foundation to build
from. This will help them
to ensure they are meeting
the wants and needs of
young people living in
Selwyn.
•If you would like
to get in touch with
the youth council,
email youth.council@
selwyn.govt.nz, or
you can message @
SelwynYouthCouncil
on Facebook. The
Facebook page is also
a great place to keep

your community.

Leeston pupils help
SCHOOLS
SELWYN TIMES
restore choked creek
ABOUT 70 Leeston
Consolidated School pupils were
put to work last month helping
to restore Selwyn’s Snake Creek.
The creek, a tributary of
the Silverstream River, is an
important trout spawning
stream and home to native
species, such as the endangered
long fin eel.
The stream becomes choked
every year with water weeds
which means it has to be cleared
out with a digger. The weeds also
lead to the build up of sediment
on the streambed which is not
good for stream life.
This was the problem the
Leeston pupils were tasked with
solving.
To do this they visited the
site and made a plan to create
shade that would suppress the
weeds.
The plan involved reshaping
the banks which were too steep
to plant on, designing a planting
plan and also the addition of
features in the stream, such as
boulders and wood for habitat.
Fulton Hogan donated the
earthmoving equipment and
operators, and, armed with the
pupils’ plan, reshaped the bank
as they had designed it.
Leeston pupils did the planting

it was happy to be part of a
restoration project that involved
the school and would lead to
improvements downstream in
the Selwyn/Waikirirki River.
The pupils were guided
by Matt Stanford from
Enviroschools, who said the
project was an opportunity to
connect young people to a local
waterway so they can learn
about its issues and how to care
for it. “What was particularly
great about this project was the
students were involved right
from the beginning with all the
planning and design and then
they got to see it to fruition,” he
said.

Newest generation
well catered for
Lincoln University Childcare and Preschool
has now been around for 30 years and former
pupils could be bringing their own children
to experience what they had before.
It was opened in 1988 to provide education
and care for the children of families of the
staff and students of Lincoln University,
local research organisations and the Lincoln
community.
The centre has a separate under-two area
that allows the children to play and learn
in a safe and developmentally appropriate
environment.
New under-twos can now also get their first
month free.
All children have a primary caregiver who
is responsible for ensuring that children’s
individual needs are being met, for example
in feeding, settling in and feeling secure in the
centre. Having a primary caregiver enables
infants and toddlers to build a sense of trust
with the people who care for them.
The centre can take up to 12
children on the under-two side
to ensure providing care and
education of the highest quality.
The teachers all have extensive
training and experience in
working with children of this age
group.
Staff are observant and
responsive to children’s needs,
strengths and interests and
promote positive relationships
among children that promote
cooperative play.
Advertising Feature
They also employ good-quality individual
assessment and planning that helps teachers
respond to and build on children’s interest
and strengths.
Each child’s progress is recorded in their
profile books and their individual learning
programmes are recorded there too. Parents
are invited to contribute their knowledge and
ideas for the development of their children’s
learning opportunities.
Children have access to a wide range of
learning experiences that include individual,
small and large groups, based on Te Whāriki
(the Early Childhood curriculum).
Te Whāriki, expresses the centre’s
philosophy, supporting every child to be
confident and competent learners, strong
in their identity, language and culture, and
forming strong partnerships with families.

Backyard Critters
When the caterpillar
becomes a moth
A RECENT find in my
garden was the common
bag moth liothula
omnivora.
The caterpillar of this
species lives within a
tapered silk bag that it
constructs a few days after
hatching.
The larvae continue to
enlarge the bag as they
grow in size, with the bags
reaching 50mm in length.
The silk bags are
camouflaged with small
twigs, bark and leaf
fragments attached to the
external surface.
Bags containing females
have the fragments
placed near the sharp end
only, whereas the more
industrious male adorns its
entire bag with fragments.
The larvae are nocturnal
and poke their heads
and legs out of the wide
end of the bag to feed on

vegetation and move along
the branch.
If disturbed, larvae
will retreat into the bag.
During the day, the bag is
attached to a branch with
very strong silk.
Pupation occurs during
winter when the bag is
securely tied to vegetation.
Only the adult males form
wings and fly, while the
females remain in their
bags and resemble a more
larval, rather than adult,
form.
Male moths mate with
females by extending
their telescopic abdomen
through the narrow end of
the bag.
The female lays the eggs
within the bag and dies
soon after.
When larvae hatch, they
emerge from the narrow
end of the bag, sometimes
on silk to disperse in the
wind.
Several parasitic flies and
wasps are known to attack
the bag moth larvae and

Big T20 wins for Southbrook
and Leeston-Southbridge
SOLID: Ben Donkers helped
Leeston-Southbridge chase
down Weedons’ paltry total of
96 on Saturday.
THE HOLIDAYS did nothing
to stem the dominance of
Southbrook and Leeston-
Southbridge, which both notched
their first country cricket wins of
the year on Saturday.
In a weather-affected
‘nearest neighbour’ round of
the CRV Ambreed country
premier twenty20 competition,
the Cheviot v Kaiapoi and
Oxford-Rangiora v Darfield
fixtures were rained off.
A bizarre low-scoring grind
was played out at Southbrook
Park. On what appeared to be a
pitch devoid of demons, the home
side was rolled by the visiting
Sefton for a paltry 63 runs.
But any thoughts of an easy
Sefton victory were quickly
erased with a stunned Seals squad
reduced to 26/9.
After dropping a catch on the
first ball of the innings, the tight
Southbrook fielding outfit then
caught anything struck above the
ground.
Rising young paceman Anthony
Tavendale was the chief destroyer,
returning the impressive
figures of 4-6 off four overs.
Sefton spluttered through to
43/9 in their 20 overs, recording
a frustrating 20-run defeat.
Weedons won the toss and
elected to bat against competition
leaders Leeston-Southbridge.
The combined side soon had
them under pressure, removing
Weedons stalwart Shanan Dunnett
cheaply.
Fringe Canterbury Country
representative James Richards
made a run-a-ball 28, but a great
over from young off-spinner Will
McFarlane changed the game.
He removed Richards and Sam
Wilson in the same over.
All of the Leeston-Southbridge
bowlers performed well, supported
by some tidy fielding. They
restricted Weedons to just 96/7 in
their 20 overs.
In reply, Leeston-Southbridge
coasted to victory, thanks to
some classy batting from Rupert
Young, Ben Chamberlain and
Ben Donkers. All three were back
in form after the festive break.
Leeston-Southbridge chased
the total down in 15 overs. They
only lost Young, who was run out
attempting a risky single.
Scholarship helps Ella
achieve goals in the pool
• By Emily O’Connell
A ROLLESTON teenager
has been awarded one of the
first ever ISPS Handa talent
scholarships for her efforts in
the pool.
Ella Benn, 15, was one of
two people to receive the
scholarship, which is for
budding young disabled athletes
who want to compete at an
international level.
The Rolleston College student
had her leg amputated in 2014
after being diagnosed with bone
cancer.
Her cancer has relapsed
twice since and she has had to
undergo further treatment.
Ella, who is currently
cancer-free, says she was “really
shocked” to be awarded the
scholarship.
“I’m really, really happy about
it and I’m proud of myself and
what I’ve achieved to be able to
get that,” she said.
The scholarship will help
Ella get to the Paralympics

Victorian championships in
Melbourne where she hopes to
gain international classification.
Ella, who has been swimming
competitively for four years,
trains at the Canterbury Swim
School in Yaldhurst five days
a week, as well as going to
the gym twice a week. Her
“ultimate” goal is to win a medal
at the Paralympics, but right
now she is focused on doing well

get to the next Commonwealth

Motoring
• By Ross Kiddie
AS AGE HAS caught up with me,
it must be said understanding
the electronics and finer points
of any new car is becoming more
and more challenging.
That being the case, I find
it quite a conquest when I can
climb in and instantly set the air
conditioning to my preferred settings,
find the Sound FM radio
station and zero the trip meter.
That doesn’t always happen
quickly, in some cars it takes time
to work through the complexities
of the operating systems. Not so in
the Skoda Octavia Scout, I jumped
in and had those three prerequisites
mastered in less than a minute,
which sent a clear message that
the car is intuitive and user-friendly
to operate, and I like that.
That’s not the only reason I
warmed to the Octavia Scout, it
is the quintessential mid-size station
wagon. I once had a Mazda
323 wagon as a work car, and I
found it one of the most useful
forms of transport I could have
on a daily basis.
Sadly, only a few manufacturers
still produce the traditional wagon
and fewer still that make smallish
wagons. That aside, the load space
in the Scout is amazing. It measures
610-litres to 1740-litres with
the rear seats folded flat.
In real terms I can report it
came in very handy during the
time my daughter was in the process
of moving abode. I used the
Scout to transport many of her
belongings and found it incredibly
practical, a lot of the latter
due to the small recess on the
boot floor which creates just that
bit extra load space.
The Scout lands here with three
engine options; well, the 2-litre
diesel model has the same engine
but with different power outputs
– 110kW or 135kW – the other
engine is a 1.8-litre petrol unit.
The evaluation car was the
lower powered diesel but, while
I say that, it’s my belief it is perfectly
adequate for the role, I can’t
imagine that any more power is
necessary. In true turbocharged
diesel fashion, the 1968cc engine
develops a hearty 340Nm available
all of the way from 1750rpm
to 3000rpm.
As a consequence, the Scout
in this form still develops strong
performance. Acceleration is crisp,
and throttle response is instant,
there’s no sign of turbo lag and
with it coupled to a seven-speed
direct shift transmission there is
direct drive and quick shifts.
That’s one of the advantages
of direct shift transmission, it
doesn’t eat away at those precious
power figures.
Against the clock the Scout will
reach 100km/h from a standstill
in 9.3sec, and will make a
highway lunge to 120km/h from
80km/h in 6sec, the latter a result
of the healthy mid-range performance
of the modern diesel and
it is a hugely rewarding feeling.
As you would expect, the Scout
also has amazing fuel economy.
The manufacturers claim a 5.2-
litre per 100km (54mpg) combined
cycle rating. That sits well
with the 6.8l/100km (41mpg)
showing on the test car’s trip
computer, along with a frugal
4l/100km (70mpg) instantaneous
readout at 100km/h, the engine
just loping over at 1400rpm.
These figures are no surprise,
I’ve driven with this engine many
times before in other Skoda and
Volkswagen product, it is a beauty,
with quiet operating manners
and efficiency as good as it gets.
I took the test car on one of my
normal routes through the Selwyn
District – Dunsandel to Hororata
– and enjoyed its quiet operating
manner and the comfortable way it
treats its occupants over a distance.
The Scout is no racer, nor is it
intended to be; it is honest everyday
transport. I pushed it hard
into a couple of quick corners
and it responds with accuracy
through the front end and strong

steering feel. Providing the
grip are high quality Michelin
Primacy tyres (225/50 x 17in),
and they have a solid footprint
with the road surface.
Skoda has sprung the Octavia
Scout with softish settings, but
because there is little weight in the
vehicle and with a low centre of
gravity – the Scout is only 1.5m
tall – there is little handling tradeoff,
comfort and ability has been a
high manufacturing criteria.
Yet there is another surprise
with the Scout, it has fourwheel-drive.
With just 171mm
of ground clearance, it can’t be
considered an off-road vehicle,
however, I took the test car onto a
cross-country track to take photos
and was impressed with its
suspension control and in-cabin
comfort over some gnarly bumps
and ruts. I can see it as a good
alternative to the mainstream cars
which tackle the skifield access
roads over winter.
Not only did I put the Scout to
good use during the time it was in
my care, but it also reinforced my
desire for the 2-litre diesel engine.
Sadly, not enough Kiwi buyers
warm to diesel, and I still can’t
quite figure that out. The Scout
in this form would certainly
be a car I would consider as a
functional form of daily transport
and at $48,990 how could you go
wrong?

Tips for easing
into school life
Those first days at school as a new entrant can be an anxious time for
parents, caregivers and your child. There are some simple steps that can
help to ease those first day worries and ensure a smooth transition for
everyone.
Never underestimate the very simple idea of talking with your child –
about what the day will be like, how they will get to school, the teacher’s
name or what they will do. Go shopping together to buy their new lunch
box or back pack and put them aside until their first
day arrives.
Establish a sleep schedule before school starts,
especially if they have had a long holiday or break
from pre-school. The ideal is nine to 10 hours every
night, starting at least a week before school starts so
that you both adjust to the routine.
Plan ahead for ways to make things easier such
as laying out their clothes the night before or prepreparing
week night meals so there is less stress on
everyone and a tired child gets fed quickly if needed.
Think about whether to introduce healthy snacks
and lunches before school starts, particularly if your
child is a fussy eater. Try some new vegetable or fruit
with a dip that can be put in a container in their lunch
box or cut sandwiches in fun shapes.
While it is tempting for your child to be involved in lots
of activities, children need to have downtime, particularly
when they are starting school and dealing with a lot of things
that are new to them. Keep the schedule light until everyone is
settled in to their new routine.
Getting to know the school is also a great idea by playing there during
the weekends or holidays or catching up with friends who will also be
starting school at the same time.
Keep an eye out if you live in Lincoln for all the learners starting at
the new Ararira Springs Primary. They, too, no matter whether they
are new entrants or in Year 8, will be getting used to being at a new
school and new routines.

Ararira Springs opens doors
Lincoln south children will be looking
forward to not only a new school year but
a new school as the doors open for the first
time at Ararira

New families will
be welcomed to
the school with a

Catering to learners from new entrants to
Year 8, Ararira Springs Primary is located
at 18 Russ Drive in Lincoln South and was
established to cater for anticipated growth in
the area and an eventual role of 750.
Core values at the new school are caring,
curious and capable, says Principal Claire
Howison.
“We want to encourage kind children who
care about each other, build on their natural

curiosity about the world
around them and for them
to also show leadership and
responsibility for their own
actions,” she says.
“The mantra of “it starts with
me” reflects the school’s belief that all
learners need to be active and know they
have a part to play in their own learning.”
As Lincoln is an Envirotown, Ararira Springs
Primary is also an Enviroschool which aims
to foster a generation that thinks and acts
sustainably.
As 2019 gets underway, the Ararira Springs
Primary team is looking forward to opening
its doors of after many months of hard
work. The office opens with limited hours
on Monday 21 January 2019 and more

BACK TO SCHOOL 2018
9,500 learners on
the move again!
Pack a yummy,
healthy lunchbox
From Monday 28 January, over 9,500
Selwyn children will be travelling to school,
that’s nearly 20% of our population on the
move!
Selwyn School Road Safety Co-ordinator
Stephanie Hautler is reminding everyone to
keep their eyes peeled for our young people
heading back to school by bus, bike, car,
scooter and on foot.
With summer finally arriving it’s a great
opportunity to get active with your child.
Even if you are pushed for time, park a
block back from school so that your child
can scoot or walk. It is good for them both
physically and mentally, develops their
road safety skills and helps with overall
congestion at the school gate.
“Road safety awareness is a pretty
important life skill and starts developing
when you are young. Take every
opportunity to educate children on how to
cross a road and watch for cars coming out
of sneaky driveways” says Mrs Hautler.
“The safety of all children is paramount,”
says Senior Sergeant Pete Stills of the New
Zealand Police. “Police will be patrolling
outside schools and pre-schools so as to
reduce the risk posed by speeding vehicles,
illegal parking and dangerous driving
manoeuvres whilst everyone gets used to
children being back at school.”
Road safety resources for parents
and children are available from Selwyn
District Council by emailing stephanie.
hautler@selwyn.govt.nz or phoning
347 2705.
School travel safety tips:
• Be bright be seen, ask your school
for a safety vest.
• Tackle the routes together
talking about sneaky driveways
and blind corners.
• Get out and active together to
reduce the chaos at the school gate.
• Wear your helmets, this goes for
caregivers too, young people are
watching you
School’s back
in Selwyn
Get the new school year off to the right
start with some healthy lunchbox ideas.
And better still get the kids involved.
It will help them learn to make healthy
choices, there will be less food wastage and,
hopefully, they will come home with empty
lunchboxes, too!
Certain foods boost energy and learning
while others impede the thinking process.

Healthy foods are brain foods as they help
to increase a child’s attention span and
ability to remember.
In contrast, many processed snack foods
are high in carbohydrates and sugar. These
drain the brain and body, having a negative
effect on mental capacity and energy levels
by tiring a person. The same applies to
fatty foods. Even energy drinks can have
a negative effect on your child’s ability to
focus.
Filling lunchboxes with
healthy snacks is easy
Seedy grainy wafers or breads, nuts, fruits
and vegetables are the optimum. Carrot
sticks, cheese, cucumber, celery, snap
peas, boiled eggs and crunchy lettuce cups
filled with cream cheese or peanut butter
are perfect. For a sweet treat, pop in some
blueberries, grapes, strawberries, apple,
banana, segments of orange, mandarins
and dried raisins. They will all be popular.
When thinking beverages, water is the best
while any juices should be natural with no
added sugar or preservatives, remembering
to limit the amount of natural sugars too.
A healthy school lunchbox will ensure
there is plenty of brain food to assist
concentration, learning and overall positive
behaviour.

Being the best of you, as you at Lemonwood Grove
Lemonwood Grove is a new school situated in Rolleston’s popular Faringdon
subdivision.
With a vision of ‘The best of you, as you’, learners experience a personalised
education based on their needs, interests and passions.
As part of the Ministry of Education’s Innovation Programme, the school’s
curriculum is based on sound educational research around the conditions
learners need to be successful in the 21st century.
Foundation Principal Sean Bailey is justifiably proud of his school, backed
up by a very positive report from the Education Review Office. He also has
the support of his team of passionate educators, support staff and board
members who realise how important it is to collaborate and work together to
achieve desired outcomes.
Lemonwood Grove School will start the 2019 year with around 250 learners
up to Year 8. The school has a current capacity for 450 with an eventual
capacity of 750.
New learners
come from
throughout
Canterbury,
New Zealand
and overseas
contributing to the school’s richness and diversity.
One of the special features of Lemonwood Grove is that it shares its site with
special education school Waitaha.
“This is the first time the Ministry of Education has ever built two schools
together and although we have separate principals and boards, there are many
opportunities for us to collaborate together for the benefit of all our learners
as part of an inclusive education,” says Sean.
Lemonwood Grove School opens for Term 1 on Wednesday 30 January 2019
and the school office will be open from Wednesday 23 January 2019 for any
enquiries. More information is available at www.lemonwoodgrove.school.nz.

Lincoln High School students are
benefitting from new courses reflecting the
school’s focus on innovative ways to learn.
Print Media Production and English in
the Outdoors are just two of the courses
introduced last year offering students
options to learn new skills and engage in a
different way of learning.
The production of a 144 page magazine
called Ensemble filled with creative
articles about fashion, travel, food and
entertainment targeted at teenagers is the
end result of a year of hard work by 13 Year
13 students in the course.
Led by student Libby Duncan, Ensemble
is a compilation of articles, reviews
and recipes written by the students and
featuring their own artwork.
“Each student played to their own
strengths and wrote about what they
were passionate about. The end result is
a massive achievement and testament to
their hard work,” says teacher Alisha Wyke.
Learning a conventional subject in a
different way is behind the introduction
of last year’s new English in the Outdoors
course for Year 11 students.
Teacher Kerri Loughhead says the course
was introduced to engage students who
may not do as well in traditional English
classes and features outdoor-themed
books, movies and plays alongside a wide
range of activities such as overnight tramps
incorporating creative writing, visits to the
local reserve and orienteering.
Kerri and her fellow teachers have
enjoyed being able to bring their own love
of outdoors to the students and the course’s
success has led to the addition of a Year 12
course this year.
The office will be open 1st February 2019

The opportunities continue to grow as
Rolleston College heads into its third year,
from sports and technology to community
leadership and arts and culture.
Overseas trips will include Vietnam and
Cambodia along with French, Spanish and
Chinese exchanges.
Rolleston College offers a huge range of
sports options including touch, football,
futsal, cricket, basketball, volleyball,
hockey, athletics, swimming, table tennis,
rugby, mountain biking and korfball
giving students plenty of choice. Last year
the college also hosted the Invictus team
giving them the opportunity to work with
these remarkable athletes and hear their
inspirational stories before they went off to
their World Games.
The school’s technology students had
the opportunity last year to meet local
professionals at a high tea and also had
the opportunity to find out more about the
Sphero, Edison, and Vexx and Mechanoid
robots.
Community leadership plays an
important role at the college with SADD
(Students Against Drunk Driving) actively
with the NZ Police and Selwyn District
Council to promote safe driving messages
and being a responsible passenger.
As a new initiative Year 10 learners
organised to spend the day at a workplace
that was related to their future vocational
goals.
Arts and culture students also enjoyed
school musicals, performing at local primary
schools and competing in language, speech,
singing and calligraphy competitions.
Highlights for 2019 include hosting the
BP Young Enterprise Business Challenge
for Selwyn along with the inaugural Selwyn
secondary school athletic championships,

Fire rages, homes at risk
Tarragon is a handy, hardy herb
• By Henri Ham
A KEEN vege gardener will often
try to grow a few new veges each
year.
And I believe the same
should apply to herbs. The
classics of parsley, chives and
basil will always have a place in
gardeners’ kitchens. But how
about testing your green-fingers
out on some russian tarragon this
summer?
Russian tarragon is a hardy
perennial herb. Its taste can
be likened to a cross between
parsley and chervil (french
parsley).
It’s quite a lanky plant and
can grow up to 80cm tall. It has
slender stems, covered in skinny
green leaves.
Often confused with french
tarragon, the Russian variety is
hardier and more vigorous. Both
types have a distinctive sweet
aniseed flavour, but the Russian
variety is milder. And most
importantly (well, arguably), the
Russian type is easier to grow as
well.
Tarragon flavour is suited to
chicken and fish. Sprinkle over a
whole roast chicken, or fresh fish.
Also use sparingly to shake over
poached eggs, fresh asparagus
and roasted potatoes.
FLAVOURSOME: Tarragon has a sweet aniseed taste, suitable for giving chicken
and fish some zest. It can be grown in a fertile, sunny and well-drained spot in
your garden, or it is particularly successful in a large pot.
Tarragon is the key herb ingredient
in bearnaise sauce – and
is also a popular herb used in
flavouring vinegars. You’ll also
find tarragon in tartare sauce,
alongside capers.
Tarragon likes a fertile, sunny
and well-drained spot in your
garden. Because it grows higher
than most edibles, place it at
the back of your vege or herb
garden.
Once you’ve found your perfect
spot to plant your seedlings,
dig in some compost
and blood and bone fertiliser.
Now you’re ready to plant.
Dig holes roughly 3cm deep and
space the seedlings in them, 45cm
apart. Give them a good initial
watering. But don’t over fertilise,
as this can makes the leaves thicker,
which reduces their flavour.
You can also plant tarragon in
pots. Use a large pot to avoid the
tarragon becoming root bound –
as this can reduce the flavour of
the herb.
Use your outdoor living areas

• UV protection for summer
• Stylish & permanent

WORKSAFE NEW Zealand
has b en a proached in a bid to
fina ly repair the potholes in New
Brighton’s Hawke St car park.
Coastal-Burw od Ward city
counci lor David East wants
WorkSafe to pre sure the car
park’s private owners into
repairing the potholes which are
a “trip and vehicle” hazard.
WorkSafe chief inspector
a se sment southern Da ren
Handforth said it may be able to
take action under the Health and
Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a
person conducting a busine s or
undertaking.”
Mr Handforth said WorkSafe
is aware of the concerns raised by
Cr East abou the car park.
“WorkSafe has completed
an a se sment visi to the site
and is engaging with the owner
to advise them that it is their
responsibility to manage their
risks a propriately.”
Different parts of the car park
are owned by various people
and the Coastal-Burw od
Community Board recently
wrote to them about its concerns
around health and safety.
Cr East said the bi gest i sue
in the past has b en ge ting in
touch with the landlords and
owners and ge ting them to
agr e to anything. “The board
a preciates that multi-ownership
of the parking space may present
a difficulty in co-ordinating
repair/resurfacing but felt obliged
to pa s these concerns onto you,”
said the le ter.
One reply has b en received so
far from an owner who is wi ling
to discu s the i sue. However, a l
the owners would have to agr e
to undertake work.
Cr East said there had b en
a “number of incidences” in
the car park of people injuring
themselves which had gone
unreported.
“I’ve always though that it
has b en quite amazing that we
haven’t had any serious a cidents
or senior citizens perhaps
tri ping in those potholes and
doing themselve some damage.”
He is confiden the new
a proach wi l bring results.
“I think the WorkSafe
involvement may prove to be the
lever that we are l oking for.”

THE PAPANUI-I nes
Community Board has taken the
rare step of starting a petition
to figh the city council over
funding.
Signatures are being co lected
in a bid to get funding for a community
facility in Shirley.
It comes after the city council
removed funding for the centre
pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the
intersection with Hi ls Rd. This
was the site of the former community
centre, which was badly
damaged in the February 2,
20 1, earthquake.
The removal o funding
prompted community board
chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten
to stan down, citing it as her “die
in the ditch” project.
Ms Jone said the board’s role
is to represen the community,
and by gathering signatures from
residents, it was fulfi ling that
role.
“One of the roles of a community
board is to represent and act
as advocate for the interests of its
community and this is what we
are doing. The LTP and a nual
plans are a l about lo bying the
council.”

Cave Rock
Apartments’

expect EQC
sign-off
this week
• By Sarla Donovan
THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave
Rock Apartments ar expecting the
Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off
on a se tlement agr emen this w ek.
Body corporate chairman Mike
White said the group had gone
into mediation with IAG and EQC
on February 20, and signed off
on a deal with IAG on February
2 – coincidenta ly seven years
to the day after the February 2,
20 1, earthquake. However, they
are waiting for EQC to sign the
agr ement.
“Given that EQC actua ly drafted
the agr ement, there’ l be no
problem with them doing that.”
The apartment suffere damage
in the February and June, 20 1,
earthquakes and were demolished in
late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the
difference betw en indemnity value,
$10 mi lion, and the sum insured,
$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body
corporate.
The mediation agr ement
prevented Mr White from disclosing
the se tlement amount, but he said it
involved the two parties paying “a bit
more money than they’d wanted to
earlier.”

It was the firs time Mr Garth

“We produced some top quality

The preparation for this year’s

Mr Garth, who has been a
butcher for 14 years, said the
competition brought back his
pa sion for the job.
“Doing a l thi stuff and

back for you,” he said.
Mr Garth hopes t own a
butcher shop of his own someday
but says for now he wi l focus
on ge ting mor experience

“In two years’ time, we’ l be

A CRACKDOWN on mobile
traders acro s the districts could
be l oming.
However, the public has li tle
interest in having input into the
i sue.
Only eight submi sions were
received for a potential bylaw
aimed at regulating commercial
activities in public places.
The district council wi l be
holding a hearing for the Public
Places Bylaw and Policy on Commercial
Activities and Events in
Public Places.
A hearing i scheduled to be
held on Thursday.
The bylaw comes as an increasing
number of mobile traders
are s eking t operate in Selwyn,
especia ly during the summer
months.
In the past year, the district
council has received five inquiries
about se ting up a mobile busine s
on private or public land.
A report said there are two
str et operators in Darfield, a
coff e cart is parked beside the
railway in Ro leston, and a pi za

Pupils learn about role of war horses
GR ENDALE SCHOOL pupils
have taken a step back in time,
s eing first hand what men and
horses l oked like during war.
The New Zealand Mounted
Rifles Charitable Trust president
Mark A pleton and member
Mike Donaldson t ok their
horses to the sch ol on Monday,
in a bid to educate pupils on the
sacrifice their ancestors made in
World War 1 and World War 2.
Mr A pleton and Mr Donaldson
a rived a the sch ol dre sed
in World War 1 uniforms while
their horses Tommy and Kruze
wore 1 0-year-old sa dles donated
to the trust.
The presentation is a prelude
to the Gr endale Recreation Reserve
Management Commi t e’s
upcoming Anzac Day service.
As a tribute to those who
served, members of the trust wi l
ride horseback to the service.
Mr A pleton said it was
important children were
educated on what soldiers
wen through during World
War 1 and World War 2.
But he said the presentation
didn’t go into t o much detail
and was more of a “show and
te l” to make them aware of what
the soldiers l oked like.
Children were shown the type
of kits horses were required to
wear in the war.

AN U PER Ri carton butcher
has proven himself to be a cut
above his Au sie rivals at an
international competition.
Elite Meats owner Corey
Winder was named in the a l
star team a the World Butchers’
Cha lenge in Northern Ireland.
Mr Winder and his team, the
Pure South Sharp Blacks, which
includes W olston butcher
Jeremy Garth, finished second
in the competition.
He said the cha lenge started
as a “transtasman test match”
seven years ago.
The preparation for this
year’s World Butchers’ Challenge
was intense as the team
members met in Auckland
every two months for lengthy
w ekend practices. Mr Winder
said coming second against 1
other countries was a “fantastic”
result.
“To get second behind Ireland
was a huge achievement and to
be ahead of Australia is an

has b en given the gr en ligh to

Templeton.
Mayor Lia ne Dalziel told the
board on Thursday it had the okay
from the city council to make a

Board chairman Mike Mora
told Western News the submi sion
would likely o pose Fulton Hogan’s
plan.
“You can just about guarant e
it . because we [the community
board] don’t believe qua ries
should be so close to residential
areas,” he said.
Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if
the city council would endorse the
board’ submission.
“I’d like to think so because the
city council has had their eyes
open as we l over recent years over
the crysta line silica risk,” he said.
Mr Mora said the community
board wi l be “representing and
advocating” for the Templeton

space, plumbed for water, located in the butler’s pantry. The
kitchen opens out to the sunny & spacious living room that
interconnects, through cavity sliders, with the formal lounge.
Both rooms have stacker sliders that provide easy access to the
large patio & landscaped rear garden. The 4 bedrooms are all
good sized doubles, with the separate study also having the
option to be used as a 5th occasional bedroom, if required.
A separate laundry & large walk-in linen room complete the
floor plan. The finishing touches, which include quality tiled
bathrooms with under-tile heating, carpeting to the drive-thru
double garage, a log burner, 2 heat pumps & an alarm, further
enhance the appeal of this stunning property. Positioned on a
927m2 section, and enjoying an open aspect to mature trees
with no neighbouring homes on 2 boundaries, this is family
perfect both inside & out. Priced keenly for early interest, make
this yours sooner rather than later.

What to ask when you’re
asking for a home loan
Low interest rates and easing restrictions
on home loans may be making property
ownership look more attainable for some
buyers, but that doesn’t mean mortgages
are easy to get.
“If you’ve got your deposit tucked
away and you’re seriously looking for
somewhere to buy, it’s a good idea to start
shopping for a mortgage before you need
one,” says Real Estate Authority (REA)
chief executive Kevin Lampen-Smith.
“The home-buying process can move
fast, and it makes things much easier if
you’ve already got a lender on side. This is
known as pre-approval and it can take a
lot of the uncertainty out of knowing what
you can afford.”
First up, a lender will want to know
how much deposit you have. Most lenders
expect first home buyers to have at least
20 per cent of the amount they want to
borrow. With the average New Zealand
house price now at $550,000, that means
you’ll need to show that you’ve saved
$110,000 if you want to buy a property at
that price. They’ll also ask you how much
you earn and how much you spend, along
with details about any other debts or loans
you might have.
“While the bank or financial institution
needs to make sure you’re a safe risk, there
are two sides to this relationship,” Lampen-
Smith says. “It’s important that you feel
confident about what you’re signing up to
before you commit.”
He says that your first question – after
how much they will let you borrow, and
what the interest rate will be – should be
about fees: what will you have to pay for
taking out this mortgage?
For example, will you have to pay a low
equity fee if you have less than 20 per cent
deposit? Will there be any penalties if you
pay off a chunk of the mortgage early? Can
they waive your normal account fees if you
take out a mortgage?
Sometimes a lender may want to loan
you more than you’re comfortable paying
out of your weekly income.
“Remember that you must be able to
afford the repayments and you don’t have
to borrow up to your highest limits if you
don’t want to,” Lampen-Smith says.
“Ask what the best way is to structure the
mortgage based on your circumstances,
and whether this is flexible if things
change.”
For example, are you better off with a
table loan (where you sign up to make
regular payments for a set term up to 30
years), or will you be able to pay it off
faster if you have a revolving credit loan
or offset mortgage? Also, will you still be
able to afford the mortgage payments if
the interest rate goes up? If the property
needs a lot of renovation work to become
liveable, could an interest-only loan
work? Lampen-Smith says the lender or a
mortgage broker should be able to explain
all the pros and cons of these different loan
types, including how they’ll affect your
payments and the total amount you’ll have
to pay.
Most lenders will require you to have
insurance for a property when taking out
a mortgage. You may be encouraged to
get this insurance through the lender or
sign up to any number of other insurance
policies, such as mortgage protection,
income protection and life insurance.
“Look at these carefully,” Lampen-Smith
says. “Don’t feel pressured to sign up but
do think about how you’ll manage if things
change for you in the future. Life changes
don’t respect the terms of a mortgage
and you might find yourself wanting or
needing to sell the house and buy another
one. Ask the lender if the mortgage (and
its terms and conditions) is portable to
another property.”
Some lenders offer sweeteners to entice
people to sign up with them. Examine the
conditions of these deals carefully. Don’t
let the short-term ‘carrot’ of a $200 gift
voucher blind you to a higher interest rate.
“Signing up to a home loan is like
entering any long-term partnership,” says
Lampen-Smith. “Do your homework
before you commit and you’ll be a lot
better off in the long run.”

Offers Invited
As Cantabrians continue to move forward,
when building a new home, here’s a reminder
to pay attention to some of the fine details...
Anyone intending to build a new home
should have the builder’s contract checked
out by an experienced lawyer.
A payment schedule can also minimise
financial risks. Issues that you may have to
deal with include:
the deposit, guarantees and warranties
If you want to compare building
companies, it’s important to get down
to finer details such as how many power
points there are per room, the type of
windows you are having or which paint
finishes are included.
Questions to ask builders include:
• Do you have a completion guarantee
and how does it
work?
• Is there a loss of
deposit guarantee?
• Is the company a
Registered Master
Builder and does
it use third-party
written guarantees?
• What is the

Your guide to all things Real Estate
in the Selwyn District
Great results are possible
with smaller sections
Newer Rolleston subdivisions offering land sizes
upwards of 300 square metres are introducing an era of
denser living, and signalling the town is coming of age.
These more affordable smaller and medium sized
land packages are attracting a wave of first home buyers
to the town.
Currently, sections on the market are priced from
around $155,000 for 400sqm in the new Acland Park,
$165,000 for 500sqm in Goulds Estate and $175,000
for 447sqm in Faringdon, while Newman Park has a
starting price of $190,000 for 685sqm.
Before signing up, it is advisable for prospective
purchasers to determine developer requirements, in
terms of the design approval process and covenants
governing what can be constructed on a section;
checking if there are any design requirements or
dispensations relating to site coverage and building
distances from each boundary. While more site
coverage may be advantageous the downside of this is
that houses can appear crammed in.
Established companies with a history of building in
the Selwyn district have the expertise to guide clients
through these processes, helping ensure a smooth and
hassle-free build.
Less land translates to less work around the yard,
ideal for those who dislike gardening, have work
commitments which eat into their time, or where they
want their weekends free for recreational pursuits.
It is still possible to create attractive outdoor areas
for relaxing and entertaining even with a smaller yard.
Design is the key to making the most of any section,
both in terms of the house itself and landscaping of the
bare dirt outside.
“There’s lots of design options for a small section,”
suggests Evan Beker, co-owner and operator of
Generation Homes South. “It’s a case of working with
clients so they get the right house on the right section
to capture the sun while ensuring outdoor flow in a way
that suits their needs.”
When working with a smaller lot, the solution is to
choose a more compact design which still provides
all the features of a three or four bedroom home like
walk-in robes, reasonable living spaces and a good
sized functional kitchen. To achieve this, Evan and his
team assess where space can be saved, to be used more
effectively elsewhere.
“Even on a smaller footprint, buyers want all the
features of a larger home so minimising certain aspects
like hallways puts space where it counts. Outdoors, we
might subtly narrow the width of the eaves so an area is
more open or to gain more sun,” adds Evan.
With every section differing in size and orientation,
Evan says the secret is addressing how the house and
outdoor features will be used, strategically siting each
for indoor/outdoor flow with sheltered entertaining
areas close to kitchens and living room. Fencing to keep
children and animals safe, courtyards, patios, decks,
small or no lawn, decking and strategic planting may all
combine to creating a stunning setting where there is
intimacy and space for play.
Small sections can have
attractive outdoor areas.
Strategic planting can help create a
stunning setting on a smaller section.
