HARD WORK: Rolleston firefighters Sam Jonhstone, Matt Hadler, Phil Glen, Mark Bamber, Alana Adams and Rex Macpherson
have been battling the wildfires in Tasman.
• By Anan Zaki
FIREFIGHTERS from across
Selwyn have been called up to
battle the wildfires near Nelson.
Fifteen volunteer firefighters
from Darfield, Lincoln and
Rolleston travelled north, while
many other stations across the
district were on standby.
Rolleston chief fire officer
Nigel Lilley said six members
of the Rolleston Volunteer Fire
Brigade crew had worked “long
and gruelling” 12-hour night
shifts, dealing with hot spots and
preventing flare-ups.
Darfield chief fire officer Alan
Kittelty said five firefighters
travelled from the town. He was
yet to hear an update from the
Darfield crew.
Lincoln sent four firefighters
and chief fire officer Jeremy
Greenwood said he was waiting
to hear updates from the crew.
The wildfires forced the
evacuation of 2500 to
3000 people in the Tasman
district.
The fires were first reported
last week in Pigeon Valley,
Tasman, and covered more than
2300ha.

Firefighters answer the call of duty in Tasman Car thief

with
elderly
man’s
‘CHICK’
• By Anan Zaki
ELDERLY PEOPLE leaving
keys in cars and doors unlocked
are becoming prime targets for
burglars and thieves.
Police say the issue is happening
more across the district because
the population is growing, bringing
new people into the area.
Leeston Constable Herb Inwood
said it was brought to his attention
after an elderly man’s unlocked
ute was stolen while he did the
grocery shopping.
Constable Inwood says Leeston
is not alone for elderly being
targeted and similar incidents
are increasing in Darfield and
Lincoln.
The man, in his mid-70s, left
his red Nissan Navara, with
the personalised number plate
‘CHICK’, unlocked with the
engine running at the Leeston
FreshChoice car park on High
St at 12.23pm on February
1, Constable Inwood said.

IT’S THAT time of the year again – the
countdown to the City2Surf.
This year’s instalment will be the 45th
time the iconic event has been held.
Thousands upon thousands of
Cantabrians have ran, walked, skateboarded, pushed prams
and hobbled to the line over the decades.
On pages 10-11 today, we talk to some of the people who will
take part this year.
The City2Surf is not a race – but many do consider it that,
and that’s fine. Being first across the line is a great incentive.
For others, taking on the City2Surf can be the start or end
of a personal goal from a fitness perspective or just to say I’ve
done it.
With two distances, it’s an event for everyone.

Drink driving excuses – why they
A United States woman
who said she failed
a drink driving test
because she had been
nibbling on her coat
went viral last month.
So what excuses do
Canterbury motorists
use? Sophie Cornish
reports
PETE STILLS has heard many
drink driving excuses during his
long career in the police.
Yet the Rolleston-based Senior
Sergeant has never known one to
work.
“I’ve never seen anything yet
that has successfully overcome
the machines,”
he said.
Senior
Sergeant Stills
was once even
offered a bribe if
he would ‘look
the other way.’
“He then
Pete Stills
went on to say
he was friends
with my boss, when I asked him
which boss, he couldn’t give me
a name.”
He’s also never seen the old
wives’ tale of putting a coin in
your mouth work either. The
method comes from a legend that
a coin can interfere with your
saliva’s composition.
The zinc and copper in the coin
supposedly neutralises or masks
the actual level of alcohol by
inducing a chemical reaction or
coating the inside of the mouth.
“It didn’t work for the guy I was
dealing with a long time ago. He
put the coins in his mouth right
in front of me,” he said.
In 2011, prominent West Coast
lawyer Doug Taffs put coins in
his mouth to try and outwit a
breath test, but the method failed.
Senior Sergeant Stills has seen
people take deep breaths in an
effort to control their breathing.
“People will tend to minimise
what they have drunk and often
people might stall for time,
thinking time will be their
saviour. But it’s not, sometimes
stalling for time could show up a
higher reading.”
After three years on the team
that targets alcohol and drug
impaired drivers, Sergeant Stu
Martindale has also heard it all.
“The most common thing we
hear is: ‘I’ve only had two drinks,’
and we always ask: ‘How big were

excuses from
drivers over the

limit – the most
common being,

two drinks.”
the drinks? Were they crates or
kegs?’” he said.
It’s a classic line that veteran
officer, Sergeant Colin Stewart,
has heard many times.
“You have to think, were
they drinking out of buckets?” he
said.
Another excuse is that they’ve
been eating liqueur chocolates.
“I don’t think they actually
have any alcohol in them, it’s
just the flavouring,” Sergeant
Martindale said.
He remembers one driver who
went to court for drink driving
changing his tune – slightly.

“He said that he’d been eating

A woman once told Sergeant
Martindale she had alcohol on
her breath because she had been
drinking Listerine.
“But it actually transpired
this lady was addicted to
drinking mouthwash. She was
drinking it in such volumes,
it was enough to show in our
evidential test.”
Another woman said she
had been eating Kurols, a
mentholated throat lozenge.

don’t get you off the hook
“To eat the amount you would
need to fail a breath test, you
would be physically sick before
you were able to do that,” he said.
Many drivers of course say
they haven’t been drinking, but
when they are
sprung then
question the
validly of the
breath test.
“All our
devices are
calibrated
annually, by
Stu Martindale
Colin Stewart
a specialist.
The modern
machines
always purge
themselves of
any traces of
alcohol before
any test,”
said Sergeant
Martindale.
Many
people make a
stupid excuse
initially, then realise how stupid
it was, then roll with it for awhile,
then towards the end they say,
well, actually I’ve had this
much . . .’’
The “two drinks” excuse comes
from a “major misconception”
with our legal drink driving
limit, said Sergeant Martindale.
“When the lower limit was
introduced, it suggested a
couple of drinks, but that is one
standard drink per hour with
food and the theory is that every
person is the same, but it is not.”
“Every person is different, for
some people two drinks will
have zero effect, whereas for
other people the effect could be
dramatic.”
Factors which play a role in
this include age, body size, your
body’s chemical imbalance at the
time, how much sleep a person
has had and how fit or unfit they
are.
“Ultimately the biggest
message is if you think you are
going to drink alcohol, find a
sober driver or an alternative way
home,” said Sergeant Martindale.
The worst excuse police hear
is people telling them to “go and
do some real policing and catch
some criminals,” he said.
WHAT ARE THE LIMITS?
•From December 2014,
the alcohol limit for
drivers 20-years-old
and over lowered from
400mcg of alcohol per
litre of breath to 250mcg.
The blood alcohol limit
lowered from 80mg of
alcohol per 100ml of
blood (0.08), to 50mg
(0.05)
•For drivers under-20, the
limit is zero
•Guidance from the
Institute of Environmental
Science and Research
indicates most adults
may be able to drink two
standard drinks over two
hours and are likely to
remain under the drink
driving limit for adults.
•A standard drink contains
10g of pure alcohol. This
is about 330ml of beer,
100ml of wine or 30ml of
straight spirits
Sergeant Martindale believes
for every drink driver caught,
one innocent life has been saved
on the roads.

‘Drown him’
offender gets
community
service
• By Sophie Cornish
SEVENTY hours of community
service will be carried out by one
of the offenders found guilty in
the highly-publicised Rolleston
“drown him” case.
Judge Stephen O’Driscoll
approved a plan for one offender’s
punishment last week, which
was formed at a family group
conference.
In December, following a twoday
Youth Court hearing, two
17-year-olds were found guilty of
assault with intent to injure.
They were 16 at the time of
the attack in November 2016,
when the 16-year-old victim was
confronted by a group of youths
in Tennyson St, Rolleston, after
the annual fireworks event.
It was alleged the victim was
assaulted and pushed into a water
race, where he had his head held
under water while other youths
yelled “drown him.”
At the sentencing last week,
the other offender was remanded
on bail and will reappear before
Judge O’Driscoll on March 5.
An agreement over punishment
was not reached at the family
group conference.

Leaving the car running was
common in years gone by, but it
should not be done today, he said.
CCTV picked up footage of
a person wearing a grey hoodie
entering the red ute but the identity
of the person was unclear, he said.
A phone with a GPS tracker
was left in the vehicle but the
signal was lost at Harmans Rd, near
Drain Rd, Constable Inwood said.
“It’s just the sort of thing [leaving
cars unlocked] that the older
people seem to do. They go: ‘Oh,
it’s only Leeston, it’ll be alright’.
But things are changing unfortunately,”
he said.
The elderly man was “pretty
embarrassed” about the incident,
he said.
“I’ll guarantee that it’s not the locals
like the 20 or 30-year families
who are doing the dishonest stuff,”
Constable Inwood said.
“It’s the people who have come
into the district or their associates.”
He said it was “the same” in
Lincoln and Darfield.
Selwyn’s population has grown
from 44,595 in 2012/13 and is

Marae ceremony for new citizens
WAITANGI DAY was a day
to remember for 30 new New
Zealanders.
They became citizens at the
first ever citizenship ceremony
held at Ngāti Moki Marae,
Taumutu.
Te Taumutu Rūnanga and
the people of Ngāi Te Ruahikihiki
hosted the ceremony at
the marae, which sits close to
the shores of Te Waihora/Lake
Ellesmere.
The 30 new citizens represented
12 different nationalities,
some from near neighbours
such as Australia and Tonga,
and other from as far afield as
the Seychelles, India and the
Netherlands.
One of the new citizens,
Marise Bergmann, of South Africa,
said that for her family the
marae setting was a highlight,
with the calling on to the marae
and the use of te reo.
For her, gaining citizenship
was a family affair, after her
mother and sister became
citizens five years ago, and her
brother last year. “I just want to
be a Kiwi – I really love life in
Christchurch and enjoy the outdoors
and Selwyn,” she says.
The family moved out
from Christchurch after the
earthquakes and are enjoying
the semi-rural way of life in
Prebbleton.
“The people are beautiful
here, and we love having the
country feel and being a bit
more rural – there’s not all the
hustle and bustle of city life,” she
said.
The district council usually
holds its monthly citizenship
ceremony at the council chambers
in Rolleston, but chose
to hold a special ceremony on
Waitangi Day at the Taumutu
marae, which was attended by
around 140 people.
Mayor Sam Broughton says
the event marks a first for the
district. “This is the first time
that a citizenship ceremony has
been held at Ngāti Moki Marae,
a change that I am proud of
leading, and is an example of
our close relationship with Te
Taumutu Rūnanga,” he says.
“We work together on

district planning, and numerous

other areas.
“The occasion holds extra
significance due to being held

for those attending to

“The 30 people who became
citizens have come from

to make their home with us

I HOPE everyone enjoyed
their Waitangi Day break
– our only truly national
holiday. That is until we all
realise that a national holiday
in winter – like, say, for
Matariki – would actually be
quite nice.
I’ve lost my mouse. My
computer mouse that is.
Well, I say ‘I lost it’, but
really someone small and
cute found it, took it, and
put it somewhere safe. Or
under something. Or behind
something. Or in something.
I mean, she can’t eat it, I
don’t think. Turn your back to
Vittoria’s actions and she’ll get
up to some sort of mischief
without fail. Age and stage,
right? Either way, it’s made
writing this slightly difficult. I
use a laptop and am the kind
of person who can accidently
wipe his computer by
touching that bloody mouse
pad. Just got to persist and
deal without it for now.
That’s one way to remind
me to be on my toes as to
things around Vittoria.
Considering her mischief
abilities, I’m equally
impressed by Laura’s and
my persistence in keeping all
her pyjamas, bibs and socks
neatly folded and stacked on
GUILTY: Vittoria caught in
the act of mischief.
VITTORIA
& Matt
a shelf in direct line of fire.
I think we’ve both re-folded
and re-stacked that shelf
100 times. She’ll grow out of
it eventually, either that or
we’ll buy another drawer or
something.
It’s hilarious when you catch
her in the act of mischief, she
usually shoots over a sly look
while slowly continuing to do
whatever it is you’re telling
her ‘no’ about. If you catch
her “borrowing” something,
she generally giggles, tries
to hide it behind herself and
then runs off. Sometimes too
fast and she falls over, making
it funnier. Or immediately
sadder.
She is so adorable that it’s
hard to be angry mostly.
Unless it’s the 10th time
that day. Then it’s time for a
recharging cuppa.
Beyond renewed assaults
on folded clothing, this week
also saw Vittoria and I start
at her first toddler-focussed
activity, Shimmy Shakers, at
the Phillipstown Community
Hub on Monday. She really
enjoyed herself, I could tell
because even though she
abandoned me to go play with
the cupboards with a new
friend as it started, she came
back all smiles soon after and
stayed for the rest.

Council to
consider
another
West Melton
housing
development
• By Anan Zaki
MORE HOUSING is on the
cards for the growing district.
The district council will
today consider an application
to change the District Plan
for another residential
development in West Melton.
Developer GW Wilfield Ltd
wants to change the District
Plan at a 73.5ha site on West
Coast and Weedons Ross Rds
from Living 2 and 2A to a
Living WM South Zone.
In a Living 2A zone in West
Melton, the maximum number
of allotments is 10. In Living 2
zones, allotments must be no
less than 5000m 2 .
GW Wilfield is proposing
70 lots under the changed
plan.
District council staff are
recommending councillors
accept the request to change the
District Plan.
Councillors will vote on
the plan change at the district
council meeting at 1pm.
“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.”
Your gift of $35 will provide preventative
treatment for one household contact of a
leprosy patient.
A gift of $420 enables the treatment of an
average household in Kiribati, Samoa or the
Solomon Islands.

These people are all up for it –
Thousands will turn out
for the 45th anniversary
of the City2Surf on
March 24. Reporter
Sophie Cornish spoke
to some of the people
who have entered the
fun run
Karen Young – This year’s
City2Surf will be the first ever
running event Mrs Young has
participated in.
In June last year,
she joined the
Energise Health
and Fitness
running club and
has been training
for the 6km
event through
a 12-week
Karen Young programme.
Mrs Young runs with her club
once a week while trying to fit
in her own training. “I think it
will be achievable (the 6km),” she
said.
Mark Winsley, 49 – Mr
Winsley has tackled the 14km
City2Surf event before, but this
year he will run the 6km. That’s
because his nine-year-old son,
Felix, will be running with him,
along with his partner, Janelle
Clark. The father and son have
been “hiking
around the
hills and
jogging around
the parks” to
prepare for the
event. Felix is
not a novice
when it comes
Mark Winsley to running
events, having participated in
the Kids’ Mara’Fun race before,
which is part of the Christchurch
Marathon.
“I took my neighbours son
to do it (City2Surf) a few years
ago – he was a bit older. Felix
watched it and said I’m going
do that papa,” said Mr Winsley.
The pair have been training two
to three times a week. Their
training includes a hike in the
weekend and a couple of runs
accompanied by “kicking the ball
around and playing cricket,” said
Mr Winsley.

Rebecca
Barrell, 44
– In the past
Ms Barrell has
completed the
Buller Gorge
Half Marathon.
Now she wants
to get back into
running. Ms
Barrell has set
herself the goal of completing
the 14km event this year and has
been training using the 10-week
programme offered by City2Surf.
“I walk a lot up the hills, but I
wanted to improve my running
again and I thought this was a
good goal . . . I’ve done 10km
in the past, years ago. I did the
6km last year with the dog,
so I thought this was a good
progression,” she said.
The registered nurse has been
running around Hagley Park for
her training.

describes
himself as a
“little bit of a
runner” but it
will be his first
time doing the
City2Surf. “A
Ed Hogbin
few years back I
did a half marathon and thought
I’d have another crack at one this
year.” He will use the City2Surf
14km event as a “halfway
gauge” while training to see how
on-track he is for his next half
marathon. Hagley Park is his ‘goto’
spot for training two or three
times a week.
Judith McInnes, 77 –
Mrs McInnes, who is retired, says
her participation in the 14km
event is “not a hardcore thing,
but just for fun.” It will not be
her first time in the City2Surf,
having completed the event six
or seven times previously, both
walking and jogging. “I do both
walking and jogging and it’s just
a challenge.” Mrs McInnes goes
jogging twice a week. She likes to
explore the Harry Ell Walkway,
Sign of the Kiwi, Sign of the
Takahe and Godley Head tracks.

completed the event a handful
of times previously, but it will
be Ezra’s first time doing the
14km. “He’s just brought some
new running shoes especially for
it,” said his older brother Josiah,
who has run up the Rapaki Track
a couple of times to prepare. “I
think I’ll really get started on my
training next month.”

Angela Penn, 49,
and Geoff Sutton, 42
– The brother and sister
duo aren’t letting the fact
they are getting older slow
the down. The pair are
running the 6km event
in the City2Surf together.
“I’m going to be 50-yearsold
soon, I might as well
keep going while I am still
standing and don’t have
many injuries,” said Mrs
Penn. Back in October,
the pair ran in the Pegasus
Fun Run 6km event and
hope to run the 10km
event at the Christchurch
Marathon in June. They
are both driven by the
hope that one day they
might have grandchildren,
who they would like to
be fit and healthy for. “It’s
more about getting out
there and enjoying it. I am
really looking forward to
spending some time with
my brother, it’s good to
hang out,” Mrs Penn.

Mr Comber took part in

PREPARED: Geoff Sutton
and Angela Penn.
as an english teacher, he
said he has decided to get
back into running. He
enjoys running around the
streets near where he lives
and often goes to Les Mills
gym to stay in shape. “I like
the City2Surf because it is
an easy distance and it’s a
popular run to take part
in.”
James Ferguson,
32 – Mr Ferguson will
take on the 14km event
in the City2Surf. It will
be his first time doing the
event and he admits he’s a
“first-time runner,” opting
to keep fit through rugby
and other sport. The event
will help him prepare for
more running later in the
year when he takes on the
Buller Gorge half marathon
and the Saint Clair
Vineyard half marathon in
Blenheim. He is enjoying
his training – somewhat.
“It’s a fair distance the
14km, but I’ve got to get
fit somehow.” Before and
after work a couple of times
a week, Mr Ferguson has
been challenging himself
to run distances between
10km and 14km. He will
accompanied by a group of
friends who will also run in
the event next month.
Pauline De Wit, 66 –
Mrs De Wit isn’t keen to
slow down anytime soon.
Previously, she has run the
6km event in the City2Surf
but next month she decided
to “push the boat out” and
do the 14km run. “I felt I
could have gone further so
I am keen to try the 14km.
I have seen the wonderful
sense of achievement
gained from an event such
as this and wanted to be
part of it . . . I am getting
older and I want to achieve
something like this before
age takes me over.” She is
training with her friend Jill,
who she has done the event
with before.

Salt and Pepper take down
McCaw in Coast to Coast
• By Jacob Page
IT’S NOT everyday you get
bragging rights over a retired All
Blacks captain.
But that’s what Southbridge’s
Warwick Tuffnell and Leeston’s
Nigel Robertson claimed in their
Coast to Coast race over the
weekend.
“We didn’t really have a time
in mind but we wanted to beat
Richie McCaw – which we did.
Not too bad for a couple of
45-year-olds,”
Robertson said.
The pair raced
under the team
name Salt and
Pepper in the
two-day tandem
event, completing
Richie
McCaw
the 233km run,
cycle and paddle
in 14hr 32min
51sec – 17min faster than McCaw
and his partner Rob Nichol.
Tuffnell and Robertson
admitted they spent more time
with each other than their
families during the nine-month
preparation, but they both relied
on each other for motivation.
“I started doing a couple
of triathlons, like Challenge
Wanaka, and we realised we were
doing a few of the same triathlons
so we thought why not give
(Coast to Coast) a go,” Robertson
said.
Tuffnell took part in the
JOB DONE: Warwick Tuffnell and Nigel Robertson celebrate
after completing the Coast to Coast tandem event on Saturday.

individual one-day race three
years ago, but it was a new
experience for Robertson.
“The last 40km into the
head wind coming into
Christchurch was quite gruelling.
I’m a better runner and Warwick
is better on the bike so we were
able to work hard for each other,”
Robertson said.
Said Tuffnell: “My arms could
barely hold on to the bike in the
last 15km because the paddle
had taken it out of me. The
whole thing was a warm-up for
Nigel to do the one-day event
next year. It’s one of those kind
of events which can be addictive
so we’ll wait and see what
happens.

SELWYN’S FIRST ever
combined secondary school
athletics day will be held this
month.
More than 300 students from
Ellesmere College, Lincoln High
and Darfield High are set to
compete at Ngā Puna Wai Sports
Hub on February 26.
The idea is the
brainchild of
Ellesmere College
head of sport Chris
O’Connell and has
support from the
Selwyn Sports Trust.
O’Connell said it
was an alternative
to the annual school
athletics day.
“After last year,
we had a post event
meeting and came
to the conclusion that the usual
approach, where every student
and teacher was involved for a
whole day, wasn’t working,” he
said.
“We floated the idea of doing a
Selwyn-wide thing, while using
the Nga Puna Wai facility, and
all the secondary schools were
really encouraging of the idea.
SPORTS
Combined high school
athletics day to get
out of starting block
Hopefully it’s a way Selwyn
athletes can test themselves
against strong competition
without the need to go to
Christchurch.”
O’Connell said the inaugural
event will see year 9-13 students
compete in traditional track and
field events. “It’s the first year of
a new idea so there
will be trial and error,
but like anything, you
hope it’ll be around
in five years and
thriving,” he said.
Selwyn Sports
Trust chief executive
Michael Wilson said
the organisation is
behind the event as it
encourages people to
be more active.
“Hopefully it’s a
Chris O’Connell sign of more events
like this in Selwyn,” he said.
O’Connell hopes it will open
up communication between
schools when it comes to sports
events. “We’ve already had talks
with schools around having
games against each other in
various other sports, which is a
positive,” he said.

a sanctuary
to call home
Creating a peaceful life,
where we put our wellness and
wellbeing first, can be a difficult
task in this day and age.
With the pressures of work, families and other commitments, it can
all lead to stress and fatigue and we find the need to recharge
even greater.
It is nice to seek solace in our surrounds. If we can find that peace
in the place we choose to live, then coming home means we can
instantly gain that calm and wellness – creating a better life for
ourselves and our loved ones.
At Te Whariki subdivision situated in Lincoln, you can find that oasis.
A restful surrounding, where nature and everyday life combine to
create a wonderful place to call home.
This sanctuary comes complete with wetlands dispersed throughout
– where Pukeko, Black Swan, frogs, ducks and a variety of other
wildlife all reside. These wetlands have a myriad of walkways and
cycle tracks so that you can meander or cycle your way around
while taking in the wonderful nature which inhabit here. This is a
great way to start or finish your working day, or to make the most of
your free time at the weekend.
The wide, curved roads also create a sense of space and freedom,
and with the nearby Lincoln University and all the amenities of
Lincoln Village only minutes away, you really will be living the
perfect life.
Te Whariki has been developed with care and thought by
Ngai Tahu Property in joint collaboration with Lincoln University. Te
Taumutu Runanga have worked closely with Ngai Tahu Property to
establish the wetlands, re-establish native plants and bring to life,
through street and reserve names, a number of place and species
names associated with Te Waihora (Lake Ellesmere).

SKILL: Prebbleton’s Jeremy Webb sideways in his Suzuki
GSXR-powered TQ.
Second TQ title for Webb
• By Allan Batt
PREBBLETON’S Jeremy Webb
won his second consecutive
New Zealand TQ midget car
championship at Ruapuna
Speedway on Saturday night.
Webb dominated the
qualifying heats, winning four of
his five races and then led from
the start to take out the honours
in the 25-lap final. Aucklanders
Peter Hunnibel and Ryan Baker
finished second and third
respectively while Belfast’s Liam
McCoubrey and Kyle Glover from
Rolleston were fourth and fifth.
THe event attracted 45 entries
from throughout New Zealand,
including 13 North Island teams.
Webb joins his father Dick as a
two-time winner of the event.

Jaden
Ransley
A SUPERB weekend for
Prebbleton racer Jaden Ransley
means he will head to the
final round of the Toyota 86
Championship with the points
lead.
Ransley, 17, had two wins
and a second place finish from
three races at the penultimate
round of the championship at
Manfeild in
Feilding.
After coming
into the
round 13
points off the
championship
lead, Ransley’s
win in race
one on Saturday
elevated
him to the top.
He was then
able to extend
his buffer with a tough-fought
win in race two on Sunday,
holding off championship
rival Callum Hedge and Arran
Crighton.
At the race start, it was
Crighton that got the better
jump out of those on the front
row. It looked like Ransley
might have been able to use
his inside line to take the lead
into turn one, but Crighton was
determined to lead and by the
turn-four hairpin he had the top
spot.
TITLE SHOT: Jayden Ransley (No 53) will head to Hampton
Downs in the lead of the Toyota 86 Championship following
two wins at Manfeild.
SPORTS
A lead change looked imminent
on lap three. Ransley
had been all over Crighton’s tail
after getting edged on lap one,
culminating in a big lock-up. By
turn one on the following lap,
Ransley was by.
“I had a terrible start, which
put me into second. We had
a good battle with Arran
[Crighton] and then managed
to get past him,” said Ransley
afterwards.
“Callum [Hedge] was really
coming along good too. Our car
went off a bit at the end there, so
there was bit of a fight to keep
Callum behind me.”
Ransley finished second in the
final race of the weekend behind
Hedge, who is now second in
the championship. The series

SELWYN TIMES
New citizens welcomed at
Waitangi Day ceremony
Waitangi Day 2019 was an extra special celebration for 30 Selwyn residents, who became New
Zealand citizens at the first ever citizenship ceremony to be held at Ngāti Moki Marae, Taumutu.
Te Taumutu Rūnanga and the people of Ngāi Te Ruahikihiki hosted the ceremony at the marae,
near Te Waihora/Lake Ellesmere.
The 30 new citizens represented 12 different nationalities, from near neighbours like Australia and
Tonga, and others from as far afield as the Seychelles, India and the Netherlands.
Selwyn mayor Sam Broughton says the event, attended by around 140 people, marks a first for
the district. “This is the first time that a citizenship ceremony has been held at Ngāti Moki Marae,
and is an example of our close relationship with Te Taumutu Rūnanga,” he says.
“The occasion holds extra significance due to being held on Waitangi Day and is an opportunity
for those attending to gain a better understanding of local history.
“The 30 people who became citizens have come from countries all over the world to make their
home with us in Selwyn, and our growing diversity is great to see.”
Ioannis Delikostidis, from Greece, was one of the citizenship recipients, and said he enjoyed the
experience of being on the marae. “It was nice to have it here instead of in a formal place,” he said.
“I sought citizenship because I have been here many years and feel like I’m already part of the
society and the country,” he says. “Citizenship is something that helps you feel like you are
integrated and part of the whole.”
Mr Delikostidis and his wife only recently moved to Selwyn, but says it’s a really amazing place to
live. “The people are friendly and although it’s close to the city, it’s still a bit out of the way. It’s a
nice, safe, quiet, peaceful place with lot of young families.”
Get fit and active in 2019
We have released the term one brochure for all Council-run fitness
and recreation classes in Selwyn.
The programmes at Rolleston Community Centre and Lincoln
Event Centre have had huge growth over the past few years and
following the growth in other communities, the Tai Tapu Community
Centre and West Melton Community and Recreation Centre are also
running classes.
The centres offer classes for a range of people including fitness
and weights classes such as Pump, Spin and HIIT, Yoga classes,
activities for young adults like Get Your Skates On and Basketball,
sessions to get the toddlers moving such as Mini Gym and classes
for more mature residents.
The influx of people into Selwyn over the past few years means we
have had to ensure that our new programmes met the needs of our
whole community. We aim to make all our programmes affordable to
the whole community – from young people to older adults.
If you prefer to exercise in the pool the Selwyn Aquatic Centre is the
place for you!
Our Aquafit timetable offers the benefits of aquatic exercise targeting
balance, endurance, toning, cardiovascular fitness and more.
This year the programme has nearly doubled in the number of total
classes from 7 to 12 per week, adding in extra classes both during
the day and in the evening. We also introduced two new intensities:
Hydro Health (low intensity, rehab and recovery focused class) and
Aqua HIIT (high intensity interval training).
It is the enthusiasm, friendliness and motivation of the instructors
that keep our participants coming back week after week, come
along and see for yourself.
Pick up a brochure today from your closest centre or check it out
online at selwyn.govt.nz.

Get emergency alerts through
Selwyn Gets Ready
Did you know you can sign up to receive texts or emails warning
you of events like strong winds, uncontrolled fire, snow or messages
from local police?
This free service is provided through a website text and email service
operated by our Emergency Management team.
The Selwyn Gets Ready website is a database which contains
contact information for local residents. This information is used by
local community response teams to identify who needs assistance
in an emergency and who has skills or resources (like first aid skills
or generators) that could help in a disaster.
In a disaster a network of community response teams operates in
Selwyn checking on the welfare of their community, identifying what
needs to be done in their area and requesting assistance if needed.
Access to household information is restricted to local community
response teams and can’t be viewed by the public.

Humble identity still
STAR: Ben Donkers made a significant contribution with bat
and ball to lead his team to victory.
Donkers paves the way for
Leeston-Southbridge win
BEN DONKERS proved to be
a one-man match-winner for
Leeston-Southbridge in round
11 of the Canterbury country
premier one-day cricket
competition on Saturday.
Donkers hit a brisk 60 with
the bat and then took 5-29
as his team defended 197,
bowling Oxford out for 85. The
112-run victory keeps Leeston-
Southbridge second on the
table. In spite of being on the
losing side, Oxford off-spinner
Mark Murphy took 5-28 from
his 8.1 overs.
Weedons’ batsmen looked
to have posted a defendable
total when they amassed 198
all out against Southbrook at
Southbrook Domain.
Opener Shannon Dunnett
made 69, and captain Sam
Wilson made 64 – his third half
century in a row.
However, the competition
leaders proved why they are the
team to catch, chasing down
their target for the loss of just
two wickets with 14 overs to
spare. Southbrook wicketkeeper
Matt Brine made 83, while
Shannan Stewart added an
unbeaten 47. Kaiapoi overcame
Darfield by three wickets in
a low-scoring game. Darfield
needed their tail to wag to post
147 for nine.
Darfield were 21-6 before
Patty Readon made 40 and
Alister Collins contributed
27. Raj Saini was the chief
destroyer, taking 5-31. Kaiapoi
got home with an over to spare
thanks to an unbeaten 41 from
Wayne Bell.
Sefton beat Cheviot by 17
runs after defending 151 all out.
Sefton opener Tim Harrison
made 52 to anchor the innings.
Opening bowler Brendon
Wellington ensured that was
more than enough after he took
4-22.
•On Saturday, Weedons
will host Kaiapoi; Darfield
will welcome Oxford;
Leeston-Southbridge will
face Sefton at Leeston Park
and Southbrook will travel
to play Cheviot.

He was born, raised and lived
his whole life in the Rolleston
area and is happy to have done
so. His focus on life has been his
family, farming and giving back
to the community.
Lex was born in 1936 and at
that time his parents were running
a sheep farm on Hoskyns
Rd, near the intersection with
Maddisons Rd. His father, Alec,
who had emigrated from Scotland
and served in the NZ Rifle
Brigade during World War 1, had
purchased the property from the
Marshall family in 1929, which
the Cockburn family have owned
it ever since.
Lex recalls some of his earliest
memories as being when he
attended Weedons School on
Weedons Ross Rd. He started
school during World War 2 and
at the time there were only 18
children attending there.
Life was simple and he remembers
the female teacher riding
her motorcycle all the way from
Sheffield at a time when very
little of the roading in the district
was sealed. His parents had
decided to send him to Weedons
School instead of Rolleston
because they did not want him
crossing the railway lines and
Main South Rd when walking
to school. Three generations of
Cockburn children have now
attended the school.
In the late 1940s there was no
secondary school near Rolleston
and the students had to travel
into Christchurch by train to attend
college. Each school day Lex
would walk to the old Rolleston
railway station and catch either
the morning passenger train
from Springfield, which had old
wooden slat seats, or take the
later Timaru train that had more
comfortable seating.
Lex attended Christchurch
Technical College, which was
located on the current site of

He claims he was no scholar, but
enjoyed the practical skills he
learned in engineering. Quite
often he would skip class and
spend the day at the ‘pictures.’
Lex’s father died suddenly at
home in 1951, and as the only
child in the family, Lex had to
leave school aged 14 to help his
mother run the farm. Times were
tough and the soil was light, but
together they managed to build
the business, increase the size
of their sheep flock and build
a new house on the property.
The increasing prices paid for
wool during the 1950s helped to
achieve this.

history
WITH WAYNE STACK
Lex’s father died suddenly at
home in 1951, and as the only
child in the family, Lex had to
leave school aged 14 to help his
mother run the farm. Times
were tough and the soil was
light, but together they managed
to build the business, increase
the size of their sheep flock and
build a new house on the property.
The increasing prices paid
for wool during the 1950s helped
to achieve this.
One way Lex earned money
as a boy was by shooting rabbits,
which there were plenty
of. He initially borrowed a .22
rifle to shoot them, selling them
to the local postman (who also
delivered the bread to the farm
gate). Once he had saved enough
money he was able to buy his
own rifle and a bike.
Lex recalls his father purchasing
their first tractor in 1949,
an Allis-Chalmers, which he
learned to drive around the
farm. Before this all the heavy
work was done by horses. They
bought their first car in the early
1950s but travelled in the farm
truck before that. There were
regulations restricting imported
vehicles during the post-war
years but most farmers proved
able to negotiate to get the machinery
they needed.
He joined the Springston
Young Farmers Club in the
1950s and was a regular attendee
of the local dances that provided
an opportunity to meet young
ladies. It was at one of these that
he met a young nurse originally
from Gisborne, Annette
Mooney, who he married in
1962. By that time Lex’s mother
had died and Annette became
a partner in running the farm.
They have been happily married
for 56 years.
In 1963 their son, Paul, was
born, followed by their daughter,
Helen in 1975. Paul and his
wife Julie now run the farm,
assisted by their three children
and Helen.
Although primarily a sheep
farm, in their years of farming
Lex and Annette were able
to diversify to counter shifting
markets and at one stage had
established a sizable deer herd
that provided good returns. They
also had several house cows that
provided them milk.
Lex claims there was not much
to Rolleston when he was growing
up in the 1940s and 50s. The
railway was the main feature
of the township and the social
heart of the community was the
pub. At this time it was run by
a Mrs Robinson who would sell
ice cream and soft drink to the
children from the dining room
of the hotel, as initially there was
no grocery shop in Rolleston.
There was a butchery run by
the Willetts family situated on
what is now Tennyson St, with
the general store later being
established on the same street
opposite where KFC is now.
There was also a tile factory on
Brookside Rd (near the site of
the current vet clinic) that employed
about 15 people, which
used a traction engine to power
its equipment.
He also remembered the
generosity of Mrs Robinson who
had paid for tennis courts to be
built on George Holmes Rd, near
Jones Rd, for the children of the
township so they had something
to do. The 1956 census recorded
there were only 230 people living
in Rolleston at this time.
Lex claims that there has always
been a strong sense of community
spirit within the people of
Rolleston and Weedons, and it
was through this that they got
things done.
An example of this was the
creation of the Weedons Golf
Club in the late 1960s. He recalls
it began with support from the
Paparua County leasing out
reserve land, with a small number
of foundation members, including
himself, using their tractors
to prepare the original six-hole
course. Over time the size of the
club and the course has increased
through the efforts of the community
and both he and Annette
recall the sporting and social
benefits they enjoyed from the
club throughout the years.
Even in his golden years Lex
continues to enjoy giving his
time to the community. He is
a life member of the Rolleston
Lions Club, and along with Brian
Whittington, they are the only
foundation members of the club

who have been active every year
since it was established in 1978.
Humble by nature, Lex is
proud of the community projects
he has been involved with
through Lions, especially the
restoration of the water wheel at
Cream Can Corner and involvement
in the Rolleston 150th
Celebration in 2015.
He was honoured to be asked
to cut the cake at the opening
ceremony with local MP, Amy
Adams.
Although Rolleston is no
longer the small, close-knit
community of Lex’s youth, where
everyone knew each other, he
still enjoys living in the area
in his retirement and having
an occasional drink with the
many friends he has made in the
community over the years.

New engine for Ford Everest SUV
Motoring
Ross Kiddie
I’VE HAD JUST two Ford
Everest drives – one from the
previous generation, and the new
model for 2019.
Interestingly, both have involved
long road trips while my
wife and I have been holiday. The
first was ticking off a route I’d
long had on my bucket list – the
Great Ocean Rd from Melbourne
to Adelaide.
The most recent was to travel
to Queenstown to see January’s
Gibbstson Valley Winery concert.
Both drives served to prove
how comfortable and capable the
Everest is on a long journey.
There was one significant difference
between the two sport
utility vehicles. The original
Everest used the 3.2-litre fivecylinder
turbo diesel, the new
model for 2019 has a 2-litre fourcylinder
turbo diesel engine.
Ford is quick to point out
the new engine is more powerful
and has significantly more
torque than the five-potter, and
it is also claiming fuel economy
improvements. I’m not disputing
any of that, the 2-litre engine is
a real gem, it is refined, smooth
and uncharacteristically quiet for
diesel and, for that matter, it is a
beauty.
Total power outputs are
157kW and 500Nm, against
143kW and 470Nm for the five.
That’s a significant gain, and
when you are powering a vehicle
that weighs in at around 2500kg,
any bit of extra oomph is useful.
The Everest glides beautifully
on the open road, it is whisper
quiet, and even when the engine
is put under pressure, it flows
through the rev range unimpeded.
A lot of the latter is due to the
pairing of it to a new 10-speed
gearbox, it is also a revelation.
You could almost believe the
transmission was continuously
variable, unless you are looking
at the gearshift position lights
on the dash panel or moving
100%
Capital gain
to the resident
through the gears sequentially,
you’d have no idea what gear is
selected, except to say it works
through the transmission seamlessly,
there’s never a point where
the wrong gear is selected. I carried
out many a highway overtake,
and the engine was always
in the sweet spot.
In terms of acceleration, the
big Everest moves with adequate
pace, it will complete a highway
overtake in around 5sec, and a
9sec time to make a standstill to
100km/h can be expected. These
are good times for a bulky sevenseater.
Therein lies the concept of
Everest. Even though it is based
on the Ranger’s four-wheel-drive
system, ladder chassis and live
rear axle, it has been softened
considerably, and lends itself to
comfortable motion. There’s no
denying it is bulky, but it has
space on the inside so that comfort
levels aren’t compromised.
Sure, it’s a bit of a juggle accessing
the rear row of seats, but it
is no worse than many other
seven-seaters.
If you have the rear seats
folded the cargo area is voluminous.
My wife doesn’t travel
light, so even for just a couple

of days we had much luggage,
yet it was swallowed easily. For
the record, the rear row of seats
move forward electrically, which
is just one of the many things
the Everest can claim as a luxury
vehicle. It arrives in one specification
only – Titanium. In that
form it is loaded with goodies,
and I guess when you have a big
vehicle on a solid foundation, as
a manufacturer you can throw
everything into it.
For 2019 Ford has lowered
the price of Everest. It now sits
at $79,990, and it also gets a lot

more safety kit. Over and above
what we would generally expect
for safety, the newcomer gets
autonomous emergency braking,
and vehicle and pedestrian
detection.
For comfort and convenience
significant items include satellite
navigation, radar cruise control,
full leather trim with heated
front seats, electric sunroof, active
park assist, and keyless entry
and ignition.
Of course, the driver also has
at command the controls for the
four-wheel-drive system, there
are several settings depending
on the type of surface expected
ahead, there is a genuinely low
ratio transfer case combining
to get the vehicle easily into the
gnarly tracks our back country
has to offer.
I didn’t venture off the seal, but
I can report that from previous
experience in the Everest and
Ranger, it is a genuine off-road
vehicle, and one that I’ve felt
comfortable off-the-seal in previous
evaluations. With the type of
suspension and chassis design,
along with 225mm of ground
clearance, the Everest is formidable
off-road.
The new engine also fits well in
any slow speed situation, there’s
a lesson to be learned these
• Price – Ford Everest
Titanium, $79,990
• Dimensions – Length,
4892mm; width, 1860mm;
height, 1837mm
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,
four-wheel-drive,
1996cc, 157kW, 500Nm,
10-speed automatic
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 9sec
• Fuel usage – 7.1l/100km
days and that is not to arrive in
Queenstown on a Friday night
at rush hour, the long slow drive
into the town from the Clutha
River bridge is painful, yet the
engine and transmission was
responsive and happy to dawdle
the last 10km.
Ford dealers have long sold
Everest, and Ranger, knowing
they have long had the engines
with the highest capacity in their
respective segments of the market:
“Bigger is better,’’ has been a
catchphrase.
Now it’s time for a change of
direction, and while the 2-litre
unit is honest and up to the mark
in every aspect, buyers may take
some convincing that it’s going to
work as well as the five-cylinder
engine that has powered Ranger,
New Zealand’s best-selling motor
vehicle for the last four years.

F45 Training -
fit for everyone
F45 Rolleston’s
previous 8WC
winner, John.
F45 run 45-minute circuit training classes focused on functional
movements; movements that will benefit you in your everyday life
and in other training/sport.
Our sunniest month is the perfect time
to make the resolution to make 2019 the
year when you take control of your body,
health, and fitness.
F45 Training has been open for seven
months now and is continuing to grow its
'F45 Family’. They have welcomed a few
new casual trainers on board and are very
excited to be taking on their third 8 Week
Challenge (starting 4th Feb) since opening
in June last year.
F45 run 45-minute circuit training
classes focused on functional movements;
movements that will benefit you in your
everyday life and in other training/sport.
There are over 30 different workout
styles, all with different class names,
work-to-rest ratios and exercises. You'll
never do the same workout twice.
“We find that the variety is what keeps
members coming back,” says Xanthe. A
typical programme mixes body weight
exercises with equipment such as kettle
bells, medicine balls and free weights to
make every single muscle work. Each day
has a different focus, with the weekdays
alternating between cardio-based sessions
and strength/resistance-based sessions.
F45 Rolleston offers four eight-week
challenges per year, essentially eight weeks
on four weeks off, throughout the year.
These challenges pair their class-based
workouts with a nutritionally balanced
meal plan, to focus on fat loss and
increasing your overall health and fitness.
Daily meal plans designed by the F45
Nutrition Team are provided to you via the
F45 Challenge website and app.
There are mainstream, vegetarian and
vegan options. Before and after pictures
and body
composition
testing is done
in studio, to
help members
establish goals and maintain motivation
throughout the eight weeks.
There are awesome studio and global
prizes up for grabs for the best
transformations. In their last eight-week
challenge, the winner lost a total of 20.3kgs
of weight and 10.1%fat (16.1kg worth).
“We are really excited to see what
amazing results our members will achieve
over the next eight weeks!” The date for
the next challenge after this is 29th April -
23rd June.
F45 Rolleston is currently offering a twoweek
trial for $20 so those new to F45 can
come and see what all the fuss is about!

Section demand
remains strong
We have 40 sections available at Wilfield at present. These
range from 900m 2 to 6500m 2 and are priced from $225,000.
We also have another 10 coming to the market later this year
Demand for residential sections across
Christchurch and Canterbury remains
strong as indicated by buoyant sales for
December and January.
Hamish Wheelans, director of Gillman
Wheelans, developer of several subdivisions
across Canterbury, said the level of enquiry
and sales indicated that there were plenty of
people still looking to build new homes in
the province.
Yoursection.nz has subdivisions in West
Melton (Preston Downs and Wilfield),
Rolleston (Falcon Landing), Halswell
(Quarry Gate) and Woodend (Two Roads).
“West Melton is a case in point. We have
been developing in this area since 2010
with the launch of Preston
Downs and in more recent
years Wilfield. In Preston
Downs we only have two
sections left in our final
stage. Both of these are
1000m 2 and are priced at
$229,500.
“In Preston Downs
we have created a total
of 360 sections and
the population of the
subdivision stands at
approximately 1000.
The growth of the subdivision reflects
the growth of West Melton. Where once
the West Melton pub was the dominant
building, we now have a magnificent
new Community and Recreation Centre,
thriving primary school, plus a supermarket
and neighbourhood retail precinct. It really
is a growth community and we are heavily
committed through our sponsorship of the
primary school and rugby club,” he said.
Residential development land in West
Melton is restricted and while there is still
land to be developed at Wilfield in future
years, once those stages are complete that
is the limit of development planned for the
area.
“We have 40 sections available at Wilfield
at present. These range from 900m 2 to
6500m 2 and are priced from $225,000.
We also have another 10 coming to the
market later this year on Ridgeland Way,
off Kingdowne Drive.”
Wheelans said that the completion of the
Southern Motorway will be well received as
it is expected to sharply reduce the travel
time into Christchurch.

Gardening
Inject colour into your garden with geraniums
• By Henri Ham
WANT TO inject some bright
colour into a super sunny spot in
your garden? How about planting
some geraniums?
These hardy, sun-loving plants
are perfect for those prime spots
in your garden that often get too
hot or are slightly too exposed for
other flowers.
Geraniums are a cute lowspreading
plant, with flowers that
push above its foliage – like little
posies.
Try violet and bulls eye mix
varieties, they bloom in pinks,
reds, and oranges, but if you’re
after a classic white they should
be in garden centres around
March.
Now, to plant your seedlings.
Choose a well-drained, moderately
sunny spot – geraniums like
four to six hours sun a day. I like
to dig some compost or general
fertiliser through the garden first,
to give them the best possible
start.
Dig small holes 8cm deep,
roughly 25 cm apart. If you’re
after suggestions on what to grow
with your geraniums, livingstone
daisies, lobelia and alyssum are
my top picks. They all like the
same conditions and look lovely
together.
Give your geraniums a good
initial watering, and keep this up
for the first few weeks to really
help them get established. Once
you’ve got them going, you can
relax a bit more on how much
you water.
In around four to six weeks
you’ll start to see come colour
coming through on top of their
dark leaves. Deadheading your
blooms will encourage more to
come through. And pinching the
stems will promote bushier rather
than leggier flowers.
If you’re not sure what pinching
is – it’s simply breaking off the top
2cm of the growing tip of a plant
to encourage it to grow out wider,

before it grows up. The same
way you pinch off the very top of
your basil (and other herbs) so it
doesn’t go to seed.
Geraniums make great bedding
plants, but are also perfect for
pots. If you plant in pots, always
start with a fresh, good-quality
potting mix.
Adding stones or old broken
pots at the bottom of the pot will
help with the drainage.
If your pots are in an exposed
concrete area think about how
hot they will get during the day.
You can always elevate them
onto some wooden batons or
bricks so they don’t conduct as
much heat.
Painting the inside of a
pot can also help retain its moisture.
Remember to check what
sort of paint or seal you’re using
first and whether it’s appropriate
for plants.
Geraniums also make for a
lovely indoor pot plant. Place

SAFER ACCESS TO INTELLIGRO
Heading north on Main South Road you will use the
Weedons Ross Road off ramp. Manion Road is just before
the railway lines on the left-hand side.
If you are heading south along Main South Road, then turn right into Curraghs
Road, and Manion Road is on your left just before the railway line. You cannot
miss our big green sign. Our team look forward to seeing you in store!

With the soaring temperatures it is a constant
battle to keep your plants and lawn in great
condition. It might be tempting to water them
through the day, but it is most effective to
water in the early morning or later evening.
While watering your lawn during the day
won’t harm it, it is very wasteful as the water
will mostly evaporate – your plant’s leaves
however - these may burn if the water stays on
them with the blaring sun on them all day.
Invest in a good-quality sprinkler, hose and
water timer. These will be great
for late night
watering. Simply
set the timer and
head off to bed –
easy.
We have a great
range in store so
come down and
have a look!
HANDY TIPS
• Consider getting a bird bath, or putting a container
out for them to play around in. they’ll love you for it.
• Remove tomato and strawberry laterals as they
appear. They serve no purpose so remove them so
the plant can get all of the benefits of the water and
nutrients for growing their produce.
• Remove all weeds as they appear so they don’t steal
water and nutrients from your plants
• Grab a paddling pool (the plastic clam shells are
great) for your furry friends. They will be feeling the
heat just as much as us and they will love playing in
the water.

Keep planting lettuce seedlings to ensure supply
• By Henri Ham
LETTUCE SALADS have been a
headliner in my kitchen lately.
This hot summer heat we’ve
been having has kept me busy
watering in the garden, but there’s
been a lot of harvesting taking
place too. This also means I’ve
had to replant lettuce seedlings
(every few weeks) to continue my
prolific supply.
The good thing is, even for the
most novice of gardeners, you
can’t go wrong planting a few
lettuces. They’re simple to grow,
quick to produce and take up
relatively little room.
I plant my lettuces all year
round, but really ramp it up from
August through to February. To
ensure I don’t get bored of any
one type, I like to constantly mix
up the varieties I plant.
Buttercrunch and cos are great
for picking off their loose leaves
as you need them. Drunken
woman and great lakes are a
larger, more classic-shaped lettuce,
that I remember from my
younger days.
What I also remember is, back
then you’d never consider picking
a few leaves here and there. You’d
always harvest the whole lettuce
head at once. How the times have
changed.
HARDY: Lettuce is easy to grow and makes a good companion
plant.
A new lettuce variety this summer
is tom thumb. It’s the perfect
little lettuce to pop in between
rows of other plants. It grows
small heads (about the size of a
baseball), which are ideal as a
gourmet lettuce for one. Contrary
to what I just said about picking
leaves off your lettuces as you
need them, tom thumb is harvested
all at once.
Tom thumb has a lovely mild,
sweet taste. But the reason it’s a
great lettuce to grow at this time
of year is it tolerates high temperatures
very well, and resists bolting.
And, being so small, makes it
a great candidate to plant in a pot,
or alongside other plants such as
leeks or beetroot.
Once you’ve got your seedlings,
look for a well-drained and
sheltered place to plant them. I
like to dig in some new compost
and sheep pallets at this point too.
Then dig some little holes – 3cm
deep and 15cm apart.
After this, simply water regularly
and watch for slugs. Smaller
pots need to be watered daily
right now or, if you’ve planted
in the ground test with your
finger for dryness. If you get one
knuckle deep and it’s dry, you’ll
know its time to water.
And for the slugs – I recommend
slug ‘beer bait’. That’s if
you’ve got any spare beer in the
house right now. It’s also a fun
activity to do with the kids.
In around four to six weeks
your tom thumbs should be ready
to be harvested. I recommend
suggest combining them with
grated zucchini, basil, parmesan
and your favourite dressing for a
fresh twist on your summer salad.
Bon appetite.

Looking for a Property?
What really counts
You are in the market for a new property,
scrolling the Internet, examining
properties for sale and zeroing in on
those with potential. They might be
in locations that offer cheaper land,
larger houses, or convenience to work
or school. You may have visited show
homes and open homes becoming
confused, overwhelmed or swept
away with emotional factors like having
everything new, or extra features such
as three car garaging.
To be happy with your choice, list the
features that you need, considering:
; Family space – Is there room for
the children to play indoors and
for television and entertainment
units? Should this be open plan or
separated?
; Kitchen – What needs to be in your
kitchen? How serious are you about
a butler’s pantry? Is it a whim or
something that offers a practical
solution to the way you use your
kitchen?
; Bedroom sizes – What are optimum
sizes? Smaller bedrooms may
translate to slightly lower building
costs while extra space can be
useful. When looking at existing
homes, consider whether the size of
each bedroom is sufficient.
; Garaging – A standard double
garage once two cars are parked
there offers little space for the toys.
What toys do you have and could
they live with the lawnmower in a
garden shed, a cheaper option to
three car garaging? If the budget
allows and a larger garage with
workshop is important, make it a
selection priority.
; Size of land – Lifestyle properties
offer space for children, pets,
hobbies, an expansive garden and
perhaps a home-run business but
they require work so are not for
everyone and a compact section
might be more sensible if a tight
budget or busy lifestyle.
; Bathrooms – Second and third
bathrooms are great in homes with
teenagers and a wet shower room is
ideal for young children. A bath might
be fashionable though is often not
used and its absence could mean a
more spacious bathroom.
; Laundry – Would a laundry in the
garage do the job?
; Storage – How much storage do you
need? Weigh up what can truly be
stored in the garage once vehicles
are in, a preference in winter.
Garages vary in size so check the
size to ensure your vehicles will fit.
Look also at where else the house
offers storage capacity such as in
hall cupboards, a large hot water
cylinder cupboard, wardrobes (check
their width and depth), walk-in robe,
attic storage trusses, as well as the
potential for hooks and shelving in
the garage for bikes, tools, garden
equipment and even kayaks.
; Off-street parking – How many
vehicles can be parked on the
driveway? Will this space be
sufficient?
; Garden - Is there sufficient space
for your children to play or for
entertaining?
A checklist will allow you to determine
what will suit your needs, the point of
the exercise, saving you time looking at
properties or potential house designs
while assisting you to decide whether
to buy a new or existing home with
both options having advantages and
disadvantages.

How to sell your
parents’ home
There are lots of tough things about
getting older. One of the most confronting
is realising that the people who raised you
are now in need of help themselves. Selling
the home of your parents, particularly
if they are in poor health, can be a very
fraught time if you’re not prepared for it.
If your parents are getting to the stage
where their much-loved family home is
too much for them, it’s a good idea to start
talking to them about what they want to
do before you start thinking about the
steps you need to take to help them out.
1. LEARN ABOUT THE LEGAL
STUFF You need to find out as much as
you can about your parents’ home and
legal affairs. Do they own the home, or is
it owned by a family trust? They may be
of the era when there was only one name
(usually the man’s) on the title deed – and
it may make things easier down the track
if that is updated. If the property is owned
by a family trust, you’ll need to talk to the
trust’s lawyer about how to proceed.
Are your parents’ wills up to date? Is
there a power of attorney identified in case
they become incapacitated? These can be
uncomfortable conversations to have, but
it’s far better to discuss these issues now.
It may be that your parents haven’t dealt
with a lawyer since they bought the house
– it’s a good idea to get one on the team
now. Under the Anti-Money Laundering
legislation, confirming the identity of
parties is now a more significant step in
property transactions. If your parents
don’t have a passport or other modern
forms of identification you may need to go
through a more involved process with the
lawyer. It’s a good idea to find out about
this earlier in the process so there are no
surprises later on.
2. LEARN ABOUT THE PROPERTY
It can be helpful to get an idea of the
current market value of the home before
you start planning to sell – and planning
for your parents’ next move. You can
research online, pay for a valuation by
a registered property valuer or ask local
real estate agents for a current market
appraisal. Be realistic about what can be
done to get the best price and consider
whether there are time constraints. We
recommend getting a valuation done
by a registered property valuer if you or
another family member are thinking they
might buy the property. This is also useful
if family members have differing views of
its value.
3. LEARN ABOUT THE PROCESS
Do some informal market research
about real estate agents in the area and
arrange to talk to a couple of them about
your parents’ situation. Unless they have
specifically requested otherwise, make sure
your parents are part of this conversation.
Many real estate agents will have had a
lot of experience dealing with people in
similar situations and they will recognise
this is a potentially stressful time.
Licensed real estate agents are obligated
to act in good faith and deal fairly with
both buyers and sellers. This means they
must use their good judgement when
dealing with older people. If neither you
or your siblings live close by, it can be
useful to identify a trusted person who can
accompany your parents to any meetings
with the real estate agent or lawyer. Ask for
all meetings to be documented so you are
all on the same page. This can be especially
useful if you are having to convey
information to other family members. Any
documents requiring signing, such as the
agency or sale and purchase agreement,
should be reviewed by the lawyer first to
ensure your parents are making the best
decisions.
Before you decide to proceed with an
agent, ask them how they propose to
market the property and arrange any
viewings or open homes.
4. LEARN TO TAKE ONE STEP AT A
TIME If there are minor jobs that need to
be done, or major decluttering, work out a
plan to get this done in a way that doesn’t
cause your parents undue stress. Selling a
property is a bit like eating the proverbial
elephant. Do it one little bit at a time and
you’ll get the job done.

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections
in the Selwyn District
Stylish and adaptable
Optimum indoor, outdoor flow with sun
and shelter are quintessential elements of
Today Homes’ Maddison showhome in
Rolleston.
One of two homes featured by Today
Homes in Faringdon’s showhome village,
the Maddison showhome is perfect if
wanting sun, shade and wind protection,
ensuring there’s always a place to entertain
or escape for a moment of quiet.
The layout of this 221sqm home will
have you thinking outside the square.
With scope to change size or features, this
home is a perfect option for any budget.
Many ideas have been incorporated
into this stunning French Country
showhome, unique as a residential home
or equally suited to a lifestyle property. It
is therefore not surprising Today Homes
have had many happy clients choosing the
Maddison layout.
With both living and bedroom wings,
this home is perfectly angled to capitalise
on the sun while also offering great shelter
and privacy for outdoor living.
French Country inspired décor is
evident throughout this three-bedroom
plus office (which might easily be a fourth
bedroom) spacious home. Add in the overheight
stud, higher windows and ceilings,
combination of Linea cladding, metro
tiled shape hip roof with gable features,
and unique angled design and you have a
home that stands out.
In a large part of the kitchen and dining
area there is a hardwearing and practical
floating timber floor, ideal for family
living. The French Country inspired
kitchen has a walk-in pantry, island
with basin and tower faucet along with
a specific seating area at the island and
plenty of preparation/cooking space.
Accessed through large double French
doors, the lounge offers options as a
media, reading or entertaining room and
with triple sliders out to a courtyard this
room is likely to get plenty of use. Another
seating area can be found in the living area
where sliders also access the outdoors.
Tiling and wallpaper feature throughout
this home with complete luxury as can be
seen in the main bathroom and ensuite
where wall to ceiling (as well as floor)
tiling are a feature. In the ensuite there are
double vanity bowls and a walk-in tiled
shower, which comes with a glass door
option. The generous main bathroom has a
freestanding bath taking centre stage while
allowing room to get behind.
There is plenty of storage for those
with a penchant for clothes, in the master
bedroom’s walk-in wardrobe where builtin
shelving/drawers take away the need for
furniture in the bedroom itself.
This is a bright and light home. With the
potential to increase or decrease its overall
size, the Maddison is perfect as a family
home as well as for couple or single living.
Today Homes’ Maddison and its sister
showhome the Burnham are open every
day of the week from 12 noon until 4pm,
at 576 and 578 East Maddisons Road.

What can I do if there’s a
problem with my new home?
Buyer’s remorse is a common affliction
in January, but for most people it relates
to spending too much on Christmas
festivities and presents. Regretting buying
something as big as a house is a much
bigger deal that can have a serious impact
on your family and financial wellbeing.
Real Estate Authority (REA) chief
executive Kevin Lampen-Smith says this
is why it’s important for buyers to do as
much homework as they can before buying
a property.
“We believe it’s much better to spend a
few hundred dollars on an independent
report by an accredited building inspector
than face having to spend thousands of
dollars on fixing any issues after the fact,”
Lampen-Smith says.
“It can be tempting to settle for the easy
option of using a pre-prepared report,
but if you haven’t paid for it yourself you
have no way of ensuring that it’s legitimate
or being able to take action against the
inspector for an inadequate assessment.”
If you’re looking to buy, Lampen-Smith
says it’s smart to find out as much as you
can about the property, including getting
someone to help you understand the
outcome of any report on the building or
land.
“In some cases, issues are noted on
property reports but buyers are in such a
hurry that they miss them,” Lampen-Smith
says.
If a report uncovers an issue, he suggests
getting legal advice first if you want to
negotiate with the seller on price.
If you end up buying a property and
discover a serious issue that you think the
seller or the real estate agent failed to tell
you about, Lampen-Smith says the first
step is to write down what happened when
you bought the property.
“Gather all the relevant documentation,
such as the building report, the LIM
and the sale and purchase agreement,”
Lampen-Smith says.
“If the property was sold by a licensed
real estate agent, make notes of any
conversations you had with them. If the
property was sold privately, make notes of
any dealings with the seller. Add any new
information you have about the property,
such as a building report or assessment
that notes the problems you’ve found.”
Think too about what your best-case
scenario outcome is: do you want an
apology, compensation, or remediation (or
all three)?
Lampen-Smith says it’s important to
get legal advice to fully understand your
options.
“A lawyer will advise you on whether
you have a case against the seller and what
your next move should be, based on the
information you’ve gathered,” he says.
“If appropriate, they can help you
negotiate with the seller or act against
them. Be aware that you may not be in a
very strong position unless you can prove
that the seller or the real estate agent
knowingly covered up the issue.”
If it appears that the real estate agent is
responsible in some way, Lampen-Smith
says it’s best that you deal with them
directly.
“If you can’t resolve things this way, the
REA handles complaints against licensed
real estate agents and we can also help you
understand expectations on real estate
agents regarding disclosure of property
defects. Check out rea.govt.nz for more
information on making complaints.”
