THE COMBINED Country rugby
competition is heating up (page 19).
Ellesmere teams didn’t fare too well at the
weekend against their North Canterbury and
Mid-Canterbury opponents as the play-offs
get closer.
But there were good points.
Lincoln continues to improve and had a good win over Saracens
at Rangiora. The shire (Lincoln that is) was quiet on Saturday
afternoon, with many supporters marching north. No doubt their
presence must have helped.
Veteran halfback Jason Pietzner came off the bench to record
his 297th appearance for Lincoln. The magic 300-mark may only
be weeks away.
At Tai Tapu, Burnham Dunsandel Irwell provided the upset
of the round over reigning champions Waihora. A 13-point haul
from Marshall Van Jaarsveld proved crucial.
The season is heating up.

Water meeting venue too far away
It must be at
Arthur’s Pass,
say residents
• By Anan Zaki
RATEPAYERS IN Arthur’s Pass
are infuriated they will have to
travel to Darfield to meet the
district council about proposed
water chlorination in the area.
In a letter sent to the Arthur’s
Pass community on April 18,
district council asset manager –
water services Murray England
said a meeting to consult about

held in Darfield –

owners Pete and

issue with the location of the
meeting, saying ratepayers want
it to be held in the village.
“A lot of parts about the
district council are really good
. . . it’s just the water thing that’s
making people unhappy,” Mr
Neale told Selwyn Times.
He wrote a letter to the district
council on Thursday, saying it
had told him two weeks ago that
the consultation location was
yet to be confirmed, allowing
ratepayers to discuss where
the meeting could be held over
Easter. “I did this [discussion]
and the overwhelming consensus
was ‘this is about Arthur’s Pass
water, so any meetings should be
held in Arthur’s Pass’.”
The district council said it
could not respond to questions
about the chlorination
consultation before Sewlyn
Times’ deadline due to staff being
off site.
Mr Neale also believes the
district council may have to
send out another letter, as it
incorrectly stated the meeting
on May 16 will be on a Tuesday
when it is actually a Thursday.
He said the consultation
should be held on a weekend,
rather than a weekday.

District councillors voted
to permanently chlorinate the

in December last year –
subject to consultation. The
consultation will be carried out
at the meeting with the Arthur’s
Pass community. As well as
chlorination, water treatment at
Arthur’s Pass may also include
improved filtration and a new

The Collins family
celebrated 150 years of
farming in Springston
on Saturday. Julia Evans
speaks to Murray Collins
about the family who
has lived and worked the
land and their roots in
newspapers
SELWYN TIMES
News
Collins family’s long history of dairying
THERE’S MURRAY and
Judy, their daughter Jenny and
grandchildren Elsie, Henry and
Leila.
Those are the three generations
of the Collins family currently
living on Springston’s Pendah
Farm, which has celebrated 150
years of operation.
But before them there was
William, Walter, Leslie and Jack
Collins.
William was a typographer
who sailed to New Zealand from
the United Kingdom in 1850,
after working for the London
Morning Post.
Though he did not settle in
Canterbury.
“When they came out from
England, he was with his second
wife and five children. His first
wife was his second wife’s sister,
who died in child birth.”
Their first stop was New
Plymouth, Murray said, where
William established the region’s
first newspaper - the Taranaki
Herald.
It’s first paper was printed on
August 4, 1852.
“He only did that for about
three years and then went farming
in Taranaki,” he said.
In 1858 one of William’s sons,
14, died. But as the Māori Wars
were fought in the region, ultimately
killing more than 3500
people, Murray said his greatgreat
grandfather was driven
away.
Murray said there isn’t much
information as to why the family
left the North Island.
“This is only an assumption but
the fact that his fourteen-year-old
son was killed during this time
may have had some bearing on
why he moved so far away,” he
said.
“When he got to Canterbury,

he was the printer for The Press
when it first became a daily, the
first printer in 1863,” he said.
“So he would have worked in a
little room with James FitzGerald.”
With four years of working side
by side with one of the city’s most
influential figures in FitzGerald,
William decided to move south.
“In 1867 he only worked for
The Press part-time and came out
to start farming in Springston.”
The farm wasn’t fully established
with dairy until 1869,
when Collins Rd where it sits was
also given its name.
William worked the farm until
his death in 1895.
It was then one of his sons,
Walter who took over ownership
of the 67ha farm.
“He had a son and a daughter
and his son, Leslie, stayed on the
farm.”
Leslie was Murray’s grandfather,
but died before he was born.
He didn’t know much about
the farm at this time because it
wasn’t discussed by the family.
“I didn’t know them, he was
dead before I was born. He was
only 57 when he died,” he said.
“The land would have still been
worked with horses, up until my
grandfather’s day. My father was
the first one to have a tractor on
the land.”
Leslie’s son and Murray’s
father John, commonly known
as Jack, took over in the late
1940s – where he worked his
entire life.
But Murray said it was hard to
get information on the family.
“Dad told us a few things, but
my grandmother who would’ve
known a bit more didn’t tell us
anything.”
Jack was 25 when Murray was
born, his older sister and younger
brother haven’t had much to do
with the farm since.
“It was about 1971 when I
was 19 when I started working
full-time on the farm and then
I bought it from my parents in
about 1986.”
Sixty-seven-year-old Murray
has lived his whole life on the
farm – though not in the same
house as the rest of the Collins
family.
“Five generations of family have
lived in the little cottage the first
guy built it when he got here, then
when I was a child, about eight,
we bought a piece of land further
up the road and lived there.”
In 1976, his parents bought
the property across the road and
built the house where Murray
and his family live today.
“It was just a daily grind
milking cows, but it was what I
wanted to do,” he said.
Every day started at the crack
of dawn, 5.30am, Murray said.
“There was milking all year
round, not a lot of time for a
break.”
He met his wife Judy on a blind
date when he was 25, which
“went well.”
Two years ago, Murray leased
the majority of the farm to his
neighbours, who continue to run
the land as a dairy farm, but kept
a small portion of the land to use
for beef cattle.
“I’m retired, but I’ve still got
16ha I work myself, the rest of
the farm is leased to a neighbour
now,” he said.
“I gave up dairy only a couple
of years ago and then on the

FAMILY TIES:
Judy and Murray
Collins with their
daughter Jenny
Broomhall and
grandchildren
Elsie, 3, and
19-month-old
twins Leila and
Henry, have
celebrated 150
years farming on
the Springston
property.
15ha I’ve kept to work myself, it
was more sensible to run a few
beef cattle. It’s not a massive beef
enterprise.”
He said he’s got “a lot of catching
up to do” when it comes to
relaxing and going on holiday in
his retirement.
“We’ve got a few vintage cars
that we take our for runs every
now and then.”
Murray’s daughter Jenny and
her three children – Elsie, 3 and
18-month-old twins Henry and
Leila – also live on the farm.
But the children aren’t quite
old enough to start milking cows
yet.
“They’ve got tractors in their
toy box though,” Murray said.
The Collins family will still
have a long connection with the
farm, even though Jenny doesn’t
see herself farming it.
“She doesn’t want to sell the
property, but she won’t farm it
herself,” Murray said.
There have been moments
over the last 30 years where he
has considered packing it in and
selling it himself.
“But never seriously.”

Balloons to return for
another night glow
HOT AIR balloons from
all over New Zealand will
descend on the district for
the Hororata Night Glow
this month.
Ballooning Canterbury
co-founder Michael
Oakley said balloonists
who took up the invitation
at last year’s event are all
returning on May 18.
“Many of the pilots and
crews are from the North
Island,” Mr Oakley said.
“In the week leading
up to the Hororata Night
Glow the balloonists enjoy
a social week of flying
together. Exactly when and
where we fly will depend
on the weather but we
hope to be in the sky as
much as possible, which
will be a spectacular
sight for those on
the ground,” Mr
Oakley said.
The Night Glow
will also hold onto
small traditions
throughout the history
of ballooning –
which originated in
France, he said.
One of these traditions
is for the pilot to present
the landowner on whose
property the balloon
makes its final landing
with a ceremonial bottle of
champagne.
“Hot air balloons are

at the mercy of the wind
somewhat so when and
where we fly early in the
mornings will only be decided
just prior to launching.
We will always endeavour
to respect people’s
property, especially when it
comes to landing,”
Mr Oakley said.
The balloon
crews will be
hosted with local
families which
adds to their feeling
of being part
of the community.
“It would not be
possible to have
this many visiting pilots
and crews without the support
of all the hosts and the
team who have volunteered
to cater for them,” Mr
Oakley said.
The Night Glow at the
Hororata Domain will also
see hot air balloons glowing
in unison to music.
“The balloons do not
leave the ground at the
Night Glow, instead we
light them up like giant
lanterns. The Night Glow
could happen anytime from
5.30pm,” Mr Oakley said.
He urged people to get to
the domain early to make
the most of all the food
and entertainment.
•The Hororata Night
Glow will be held
Saturday, May 18, at
the Hororata Domain,
3pm – 8.30pm.
Postponement date
is May 19. Discounted
tickets are available

Troublemaking teens move out of Rolleston
•From page 1
Police suspect that the
teenagers were being supplied
alcohol and drugs
by adults, who have also
moved into Christchurch.
“They congregate [in
Riccarton and the central
city] and are smoking cannabis
and stuff like that.
Minor offending as well,
like shoplifting at Westfield
Riccarton,” Senior Constable
Ward said.
The situation in Rolleston
is “positive,” but as the
teens were from Rolleston,
Senior Constable Ward
believed they could return
to the town.
Last month, Selwyn
Times reported that the
teens carried out similar
crimes in Rolleston, such
as shoplifting and smoking
cannabis.
Some of the teens had
also been sleeping rough in
Rolleston.
Police said the main
concern was that petty
crimes could lead to serious
crimes.
Senior Constable Ward
said he is planning more
family group conferences
with the families of the
teens, to try and control
their behaviour.

Balancing sugar intake
I HOPE you’ve all had an
awesome Easter break and ate
more chocolate than I did.
Not that I didn’t have heaps, I’m
just generous with my hopes.
Maybe it’s because she’s our first
child but Laura and I are pretty
strict on how much sugar we
let Vittoria have. If we’re having
something sweet to eat in front
of her, she’ll get a wee bit to taste,
but we don’t normally give her
one of her own.
Secretly, I think we limit it so
that she might continue being
a healthier eater than us for her
lifetime.
Long story short, Vittoria did
not get an Easter egg.
However, she did eat a lot of
good food at multiple family
meals and even scoffed a
few pieces of Laura’s mum’s
famous italian prune cake
(once erroneously translated as
“mum’s sweet affair of prunes” by
Facebook).
Her other little Easter treat was
getting to take one of mum’s new
dogs for a walk to work off the
meals. She was super cute leading
the wee pooch about with the
lead.
Didn’t last a whole walk, she
eventually just got over it and
dropped the lead.
Recently, we’ve begun noticing
a new behaviour in Vittoria;
jealousy – especially of Laura.
If I’m holding Vittoria and
Laura comes up for a hug too,
Vittoria pushes her hand into her
face to shove her away.
Last week, Laura and I were
sitting and chatting, Laura leaning
into me. All of a sudden, Vittoria
gets all whingy, runs over,
jumps onto me and starts shoving
Laura away all over again.
It’s pretty cute and funny for

must hurt Laura a little.
Hopefully, Vittoria start
realising that her mum isn’t
stealing her daddy away from
her.
Or at least stop shoving her in
the face.

Have your say on Rolleston
and Leeston facilities
CONSULTATION has begun
on the design for the Rolleston
town centre.
The district council is asking
for feedback on the plans for the
streets and pedestrian spaces,
which will surround the centre.
This will involve the
construction of the $22.2
million Te Ara Ātea Library and
Community Centre and the
completion of associated roading
projects.
The community centre will
open onto a town square, which
will be built to include areas for
community gatherings, markets,
events, performances and community
interaction.
People have the chance to
give feedback on many aspects
of the town centre including
a proposed 30km/h speed
limit between Tennyson St and
Wordsworth St, the layout of
the town square, car parking,
the bus stop and loading bays,
pedestrian features such as outdoor
furniture and planting and
the layout and features of the
proposed promenade.
Mayor Sam Broughton said
the consultation period was a
chance for people to add their
own touch to the town centre
and an exciting sign the project
was close to getting under way.
Public submissions will be
received from now until 5pm
on May 24, with work on the
project planned to begin in
August.
The community centre is
expected to be completed by November
next year, with the town
square scheduled for completion
in early 2021.
Meanwhile, feedback is being
sought on a new community
facility for Leeston and the best
ways it can be best utilised.
The district council’s 2018-
2028 long-term plan process
indicated a community facility
was required to meet the
growing needs of the Leeston
community.
District council open space
and property manager Mark
Rykers said the project was at its
very early stages.
Mr Rykers said it was speaking
with the community to understand
its needs.
“In this first stage of public
feedback, we’re wanting to
know the types of activities
which people in the community
see themselves doing
in the facility,” Mr Rykers said.
The consultation period
finishes at 5pm next Monday.

Act, to better ensure that it supports New Zealanders’ wellbeing.
A consultation document has been released which outlines a
range of options. These options explore issues related to: what
investment is screened, who is screened and how screening occurs.
This is an important topic for all New Zealanders, so the Treasury
is holding a public meeting so that individuals and organisations
can share their views.
Choosing a high school which gives you the opportunity to be
motivated, happy, challenged and supported is essential in your
years as a young adult to set you up for a full and enriched life.

Bruce Sayer
From farming crocodiles to fighting fires
Hororata fire chief
Bruce Sayer has been a
volunteer firefighter for
14 years. He talks to
Anan Zaki about his
role at the brigade and
adjusting to life in
New Zealand
Why did you join the
volunteer firefighter brigade?
I think it’s because everyone
says the same thing about
helping the community. But we
[my family] immigrated from
Zimbabwe and we came from
a small town where everyone
knew everyone. When I was
approached by one of the brigade
members to join, I put my hand
up and came down [in 2004].
Did you have any firefighting
experience before that?
Yes, I had a bit of experience
working for an Anglo-American
company in Zimbabwe. We set
up an in-house brigade. So a
little bit, but nothing obviously
as regimented and as well
trained as this.
You’ve been in the brigade
since 2004, what have been your
hardest moments?
From a personal point of
view, I think house fires are the
EMOTIONAL TOLL: Bruce Sayer says house fires are difficult to deal with because they have a
big impact on people who live in the community.
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER
hardest to deal with, because
you’re dealing with people
within your community. They’re
very devastating – not just
financially, but emotionally,
for the homeowners because
they’re people you know within
the community. So probably
house fires are the hardest, but
obviously followed by medicals
with children involved and
motor vehicle accidents with
children involved – I think that’s
where brigades really struggle.
People with children struggle a
lot at these types of calls because
they can relate to it.
So it’s that sort of thing and, as
times go by cars go faster, they’re
made of lighter materials and the
damage done to the occupant is
more severe.
How do you deal with
traumatic situations within the
brigade?
In years gone by, I think most
people would take it on-board
and deal with it internally. But
as time has gone by, I think it’s
something that needs to be dealt
with and is being dealt with. The
Fire Service has started a really
good peer support programme
now. Counselling is fully
available to any crew member at
any time.
Not just after an accident, if
they have an issue at home there
is facilities for them to be able to
talk to someone.
This is probably a wrap
around approach by Fire and
Emergency New Zealand, which
I think is great. It’s not just
sending you out to fight a fire or
go to a motor vehicle accident.
They’re actually looking out for
your health and well-being at the
same time.
I chose ‘The Anatomy of Melancholy’
as the title for the trilogy because I
feel that it best represents my work
and the person I am.
*Melancholy: a feeling of pensive
sadness, typically with no obvious
cause.
Part I: Identity 2018
Part II: Dissectum 2019
Part III: Lost & Found 2020
Dissectum means ‘deeply cut’ and
in its original meaning refers to the
deep cuts in foliage. For me the
deep cuts are not just the ones we
need to make to understand the
workings of an organism but also
the potential deep cuts we need to
consider when we have to make
big decisions (as in: ‘Murderous
Intent’). To be deeply cut can also
be the result of our experiences in
life. And with deep cuts comes the
need to heal, to find ways to put
what is left back together again or to
form a ‘new’.
The exhibition is in two parts –
the front of the gallery is ‘The
Wunderkammer*’ where various
objects, boxes and other curios are
shown.
*Wunderkammer: A cabinet of
scientific curiosities, especially
during the Renaissance
In the back of the gallery I am
exhibiting a series of, mainly
charcoal drawings, all working with
or referring to ‘Dissectum’, plus
4 small bird paintings embellished
with embroidery.
Simon van der Sluijs is an artist
of Dutch descent and traditional
painting and drawing training.
His themes are deeply personal,
unconventional, dark, humorous and
disturbing.

CRASH: Bruce Sayer says car crashes have the biggest impact on the
well-being of firefighters.
Because if your mind is
in the right place, you’ll
perform better, and I think
in the long-term it will
help in keeping brigade
members.
So you believe crash
injuries are worse now?
I think they are, because
of speed and people not
wearing seat belts and
probably one of the worst
is inattention to driving.
There’s so much going on
now, there’s loud music
and other distractions –
whether it’s a cell phone
or something like that.
You look at a lot of these
accidents where people
are running stop signs
and give way signs, it’s just
not concentrating on the
job at hand and they have
traumatic consequences
for all concerned.
Do car crashes take a lot
of your time?
Out here in Hororata not
as much. We’re in a bit of a
quiet zone here.
When we normally go to
accidents Rakaia Gorge is
where we would normally
be called. For us, it’s more
scrub fires, general medical
events.

TERRIFYING: Bruce Sayer saw the Port Hills fire from a rooftop in Hororata
before he was called in to fight the blaze at night.
Port Hills fire ‘a little
bit like Armageddon’
•From page 9
You went to the Port
Hills fire of 2017, would
that rank as the biggest
fire you’ve been called to?
Definitely. Just the scope
of it, you know, we could
see it burn from out our
way [in Hororata] and we
were called that night. So
we went in at night and
it probably looks more
terrifying at night because
everything is glowing,
everything is on fire, you’re
in unfamiliar places where
you don’t know where the
road goes to and you don’t
know which way the wind
is going.
What was it like on the
ground at the Port Hills?
It was quite surreal. You
don’t expect that, your
training is what you sort of
base all your assumptions
and ideas on. But when it
comes to something like
that burning so great and
fast and fires everywhere,
it’s a little bit like
Armageddon. There was
just so much going on.
Did you ever think your
life could be in serious
danger during the Port
Hills fire?
There were times like
that when appliances
were down a one-way
road and it’s dark and
you don’t know where the
fire is coming from. You
just wonder if the fire did
come, how would you
turn everything around?
Or would you be able to
out run it? But the officer
in charge in the zone we
were located in was really
good. Everyone was wellinformed
and I don’t think
there was ever from this
station’s point of view a
time that we were put in
extreme danger.
What are the challenges
of being a volunteer?
I think with the
changeover from the
volunteer service to FENZ,
a lot of the challenges and
constraints we were under
before have been sort of
alleviated. We’ve got the
opportunity now where
we can bring in people
to the brigade to assist us
with on-station activities,
whether it’s an office-type
job or secretary within the
brigade or other tasks. So
it’s relieved the pressure on
brigades and the officers
themselves by having
people in it for operational
support. Before the officer
in charge basically had to
do all the paperwork, and
as a volunteer brigade, you
don’t get much time to do
that. Whereas if you’re a
paid staff member you’re
on station. At the moment,
the way it’s going with
FENZ is positive. With
FENZ now, we as a brigade
have been able to bring
on an operational support
person to do all our risk
reduction work. So they’ll
go out and do all the smoke
alarm and fire safety talks.
We’ve also started a cadets
course so we’ve got six
cadets on the course now,
so there’s a lot of changes –
which is good.
You must have seen
some silly incidents over
the years and wondered
how it happened?
There’s always things
like that when people light
fires with a total fire ban on
because it rained the night
before. And you just can’t
understand how someone
can think because it rained
they can burn.
Outside of volunteer
firefighting, what’s your
day job?
I’m a farm manager in
a mixed dairy grazing
and cropping farm. That’s
what I’ve always done in
New Zealand. I’ve had a
bit of a mixed career, I did
sugar cane and crocodile
and ostrich farming in
Zimbabwe. It’s definitely
something not seen in New
Zealand.
When did you move to
New Zealand?
We immigrated in 2002.
Any particular reason
why you chose this part of
the world?
I had family here already.
For me, it was important
as we had two small kids
and I wanted them to them
in a country where they
had scope and they were
able to achieve their goals
and not have to emigrate
themselves in the future.
Did you consider any
other part of New Zealand
to live in?
When we came, we
stayed with my sister in
Christchurch while I was
looking for work. And
I got the opportunity to
join a company out here
and we moved out here [to
Hororata] and never left.
It’s a good community, a
really good brigade with a
lot of good crews and I’ve
loved every minute.
Do you have your family
still with you in Hororata?
I’ve got two kids, my
daughter lives in Rolleston
now and my son is at the
moment overseas on a
two-year OE. He comes
back in a two months and
he’s part of the brigade. Just
me and my wife here at the
moment.

Big first-up test for Lincoln Combined
• By Jacob Page
Tom
Hooper
LINCOLN COMBINED will
start their UC Championship
rugby campaign with a tricky
home assignment on Saturday.
Under new coach Tom Hooper,
they will take on last year’s semifinalists
Rangiora High School.
Lincoln Combined had their
most successful season in the
competition last year, finishing
seventh but challenging for a
top-four spot over
the majority of the
season. They were
also undefeated
at their Lincoln
High School-base
during the roundrobin.
Lincoln
Combined beat
Waitaki Boys’
High School 17-7 on Saturday in
their final preseason game.
Hooper, who takes over from
Mike Wilson, said he is happy
with the squad’s preseason
work, which has seen them train
together for the past eight weeks
and get a 37-0 win over Mid-
Canterbury Combined.
The squad has 15 players
returning from last season,
including captain and playmaker
Wil Gualter.
Hooper said with the cyclical
nature of secondary school rugby
teams, he is keen to focus on
what his team does well to get off
to a strong start this season.
TEAM: Lincoln Combined are looking to improve on last year’s UC Championship rugby
campaign in which they finished seventh.
“Overall, I’m really pleased
with how the preseason has
gone,” he said.
“The squad is fit and any
preseason niggles we had are
clearing up and we have a good
base of players in our squad to
start the season,” he said.
He said it will be important
for his team to make the most of
their home games this season.
Hooper said if any teams
underestimate them, particularly
in the forwards where they have
been traditionally under-size, he
will welcome the challenge.
“We’ll be going into every
game respecting the teams we’re
playing and expecting to come
up against some really good
sides. We wanted to have a squad
that we felt could go the full
70min and we are confident we
have that.”
Hooper said he hopes the
boys who have returned from
last season have learnt from
their experiences playing
against traditional competition
heavyweights, like Christchurch
Boys’ High School and Christ’s
College, to improve their play in
crucial moments.
The team will face several
road trips this season with two
to Timaru to take on Roncalli
Combined on May 18 and
Timaru Boys’ High School on
July 6.
They’ll also head to Ashburton
to play Mid-Canterbury
Combined on June 1, and play
their penultimate round-robin
fixture in Nelson against Waimea
Combined on July 27.
Saturday’s game against
Rangiora High School at Lincoln
High School kicks-off at 2:30pm.

Unconventional Greenpark A
eye up another netball title
• By Jacob Page
DO NOT expect Greenpark A
to change their unconventional
approach when they start their
defence of the Selwyn premier
netball title on Saturday.
Last season’s champions,
who relied on their experienced
heads and did not train between
games, will be the team to beat
but all the coaches agree it is
hard to pick a favourite on paper.
Greenpark A co-coach Zaylie
Sullivan believes it will be “a very
even season.”
The 2018 competition was
one of the most competitive in
recent years, with Greenpark
A upsetting top-qualifiers
Broadfield A by one goal in a
thrilling final.
Five of the six teams return
this season, with Prebbleton
the new team after the grading
weekend a fortnight ago. They
take Rolleston A’s spot in the top
grade.
Sullivan said her team will
remain largely unchanged. “We
are all competitive during the
game, but once it’s done, we just
go home and get on with it,” she
said.
“We want to maintain that
balance with life. We always
want to make the top four, but
I get the feeling it will be a very
even season.”
Sullivan hopes to play less now

she is in the coaching role so she
will be able to see more tactically
from the sideline.
Broadfield A are looking to
go one step further this year
and started with four wins at
a preseason tournament in
Ashburton where they were
unbeaten. Coach Yvonne
Crichton-Hill said it was a
chance for her team to get used
to combinations again and she
was happy with what she saw.
They will have the services
of experienced and accurate
shooter Maia Hill, while
defender Shan Hunt will also be
one to watch.
Greenpark B improved
immensely last season,
managing to earn a semi-final
spot.
Player-coach Mechelle
Harrison expects a competition
where even bonus points are
fought over.
“We have the core of our squad
back again and we’ve brought in
a few others to plug the gaps.”
she said.
“We feel our shooting circle
will be a work in progress, but
we have the time for that and we
believe that our combinations
as a whole will get better as the
season goes on.”
Lincoln coach Dawn Dalley
said there will be a youthful look
to their squad this year.
“We have five players who

returned from last year and four
new ones to the team,” Dalley
said.
“It’s quite a different looking
team to the ones we have had in
recent seasons.
“We have new players in
all areas of the court so those
combinations will take time.”
Shooter Hannah Wilson will
be vital for Lincoln, as will
Leesa Anderson in winning
turnovers in the mid-court.
“Defensively, we have a bit
of height, but that’s our most
inexperienced part of the
court.”
Dalley said the top four is still
their goal, but with no dominant
team, she expects a close
competition from top to bottom.
Southbridge coach Sarah
Ormandy believes she has
enough experience in her squad
to challenge for a semi-final spot
this year.
They will rely on experienced
mid-courters Kath Palmer and
Tylie McMillan.
“We’ve also got some height at
the defensive end so hopefully
we can be a contender,”
Ormandy said.
Meanwhile, Prebbleton
may be the newcomers, but
several squad members have
played together in the North
Canterbury ranks and they
certainly won’t be there to make
up the numbers.

Cammock won the 4* class,

the carousel equestrian CCI3*
class.
Cammock said it wasn’t the
perfect round. “It was a tough
track with lots of different
questions and he had the
answers.”
Cammock also had a win her

Hygain CCN95 class.

“He was a bit spooky, but felt

The Carousel Equestrian

on Astek Victor. She produced a
very accomplished final round in
the cross-country. “Honestly, he
felt awesome,” Turner said.
“He gave me a really good
ride, he went straight and felt so
confident. I am stoked.”
The pair have been selected on
the long list for the New Zealand
young rider team to compete
against the Australians at Taupo.
Another promising young rider
is Prebbleton’s Jamie Atkinson.
On Cluedo he won the Rangiora
Equestrian Supplies CCN95
class. The combination have only
been together a year. “He’s been
out with an injury for a while
too,” said Atkinson. “He hasn’t
done a lot of eventing, more show
jumping, but I plan on taking
him to the Rangiora Pony Club
event shortly.”

James Morris
Principal
Darfield High School
Community News—Term 1, 2019 Review
Principal’s Message
Welcome to our first
community newsletter for
2019. We communicate
regularly to our students
and families during the term
but we also want to share
with our wider community
some of the celebrations and
activities from the last term.
The educational success of
our children is based on the
partnership between school,
family and community so it is
important to keep in touch.
Cultural diversity and our acceptance of it, have
been an important topic of discussion over the last
few weeks. It is important that we give our students
opportunities to interact with a range of other
cultures so they will be equipped to be fully confident
participating in today’s NZ society and the rest of the
world. If students are unable to do this they will be at
a significant disadvantage in most workplaces in NZ.
We support students to experience diversity through
bicultural activities such as kapahaka, mihi whakatau
and opportunities to learn Te Reo. Multicultural
activities such as international exchanges and
the international student programme, mean that
students can interact and learn from a range of other
cultures too.
When we initially developed our school
expectations, one of these was to ‘Accept’ diversity.
On reviewing our expectations a couple of years
later we recognised that ‘acceptance’ of other
cultures is a low aspiration for ourselves and our
students. We reworded the expectation to ‘celebrate’
diversity to reflect more than just putting up with
diversity we aspire to see the value in it. Perhaps
the next step beyond this is to ‘embrace’ diversity.
This may lead us to a point where we don’t just see
the value in diversity we actively seek to learn from
other cultures and interact openly with them.
Congratulations to our students for their successes
with NCEA last year. Darfield High School had a
higher percentage of certificates achieved than the
NZ Decile 8-10 average for NCEA Level 1, 2 and 3.
There was also a big increase in University Entrance
attainment. A special assembly was held to present
certificates and badges to students who attained
merit and excellence endorsements.
In recent property developments our computer labs
have been moved to be a part of the Technology
block and two new science laboratories have been
developed. We have also commenced the design
phase of the refurbishment of E block – the oldest
block still remaining in the school and well overdue
for modernisation.

International Department
This year we welcomed 18 new international students in Term 1, joining our
15 returning international students. This takes us to 33 in total, which is our
highest number in recent times. These students have come from Japan, Austria,
Germany, Brazil and China.
At the beginning of each year the
International Department holds a
Picnic in the Park event at the Darfield
Domain for all the international
students and their host families.
Holding this event at the start of the
year is a great way for the international
students to spend some fun time
together, sharing food, playing games
and getting to know one another along
with their host siblings. Host parents
enjoy getting to know one another, and
catch up with the other host families
who have been hosting for several
years.
A big thank you to all the DHS buddies
who look after our new students so
well, and our staff, host families and the
community for warmly welcoming them.
For the last four weeks of Term 1, we have been hosting a group of ten students
from our partner Thai study abroad agency, Kiwicentre. During their programme,
the Thai students have experienced a range of outings and activities, as well
as studying in classes with their Darfield High School buddies. It has been
great to see the friendly way Darfield students have interacted with them, with
one student even greeting her buddy in Thai language – something that really
impressed the Thai students. At intervals and lunchtimes, they have loved joining
in basketball on the quad, as well as chatting with their new friends.

Shave for a Cure
Each year students and a brave teacher or two, take part in raising money for
Shave for a Cure, this year being no exception. An auction, was held for the
privilege of shaving or cutting a fellow students or teachers hair. Students paid
a gold coin to watch, and sponsors gave generously towards the Leukemia
and Blood Cancer Foundation. Well done to the students and staff who gave to
Shave for a Cure.
The event raised over $3000.
Arrowtown History Trip
The Year 13 History trip is an opportunity
for students to do practical research into
a founding part of New Zealand History,
the Otago Gold Rush. On the trip down to
Arrowtown the students had an opportunity
to walk around the historic Bannockburn
mining site, allowing them to gain insight
into how gold mining methods, such as
sluicing, impact the environment.
They then spent three nights in Arrowtown,
travelling around the district to visit sights
of relevance to the Gold Rush. Time was
spent at the Lakes District Museum, using
the Museum’s extensive archives and
wealth of unique resources, including old
newspaper articles, photos, diaries, original
documents, books, and more.

Marae Learning Experience
During week 6 the Year 10 Social Studies students
went on an overnight field trip to Onuku Marae and
Akaroa. On the way to the Marae, the students looked
around the Okains Bay Museum, and listened to Pere
Tainui (a descendant from Onuku Marae) talk about
the massacre that happened at the historical site of
Takapuneke.
They were welcomed onto the Marae with a traditional
Maori welcoming ceremony, slept in the Wharenui and
spent the next day experiencing cultural activities.
The trip was a great experience. Learning about the
history of New Zealand and a lot about each other.
Year 12 Leaders
Each Wednesday, our Year 12 Peer Support leaders
are working with our Year 7 students, helping them to

Feast Catering provided caramel oat squares and
Anzac biscuits for all our students. Students also got
to have a go at tossing a caber, farmer’s walk and tug
o’ war. This was an event enjoyed by all.

CRUNCH: BDI’s Elliot Dodge’s puts a well timed tackle on Mark Maitland
during BDI’s 25-24 win over Waihora.
TRY TIME: Waihora centre Matthew Saunders crosses the line.
Rough weekend for Ellesmere rugby teams
• By Jacob Page
MOST OF the Ellesmere
teams will be looking for a
level of revenge on their North
Canterbury and Mid-Canterbury
rivals during round six of the
Combined Country competition
this Saturday.
Round five of the competition
saw upsets aplenty with Ellesmere
teams winning just two of seven
games against their sub-union
neighbours.
THe competition remains so
tight that with two rounds to go,
no team is yet guaranteed a playoff
spot.
THe biggest upset was perhaps
Burnham Dunsandel Irwell’s
25-24 win over defending
champions Waihora at Tai Tapu.
Waihora led by double digits
late in the game, however, 13
points from BDI’s Marshall Van
Jaarsveld proved crucial.
Waihora have now lost twice
this season, the same number of
defeats they had in the whole of
2018.
Lincoln further strengthened
their grip on top spot in pool C
after a 38-24 win over Saracens.
Lincoln coach Kris Partridge
said his team’s composure and
desire was the biggest plus during
the bounce back win after the
loss to Prebbleton the previous
weekend.
“We’re seeing improvement
game-on-game and results went
our way this weekend which
makes us look stronger but
certainly we are happy with how
we are going,” he said.
Veteran halfback Jason
Pietzner came off the bench for
game 297 in the six-try victory.
Not to be undone, Darfield
beat the previously undefeated
Southern 28-26 to leapfrog both
them and Waihora to the top of
pool A.
Two tries from experienced
prop, Scott McIlroy, including
the match-winner late, helped
Darfield come back from 21-7
down at half-time.
Prebbleton, fresh off their
centenary win over Lincoln, were
tipped-up by a resurgent West
Melton 22-19 in their pool C
clash thanks to a long-range drop
goal by Ashton Mulloy.
SPEEDSTER: BDI’s Visori Vanavana turns on the afterburners as he finds himself
in space.
West Melton had led 19-0
during the second half before
Prebbleton fought back late to tie
the game heading into the final
few minutes.
Mid-Canterbury teams got
the better of their Ellesmere
opponents in three close pool B
encounters.
Springston remain in second
in that pool in spite of a 25-24
loss to Methven in what was
a back-and-forth encounter
throughout.
THe result came in spite of
Springston scoring three tries to
two.
Top ranked Glenmark Cheviot
outlasted Southbridge 23-20 and
Ohoka edged Rolleston 32-29 in
spite of Rolleston’s impressive
comeback from 24-0 down at
the break with the wind at their
backs.
Hornby put in a much
improved performance but still
remain winless in pool C after a
34-31 loss to Ashley.
Rakaia beat Oxford 32-24 in
the pool B and C crossover game
and Celtic outlasted Hurunui
22-11 in pool C and Kaiapoi
thrashed Hampstead 66-26.
Key matches this Saturday
include BDI and Kaiapoi in
pool A, Springston Glenmark-
Cheviot for top spot in pool B
and Lincoln v West Melton in
pool C.

SELWYN TIMES
Kids getting active
this autumn
Over 4000 young people from 10 Selwyn schools will be getting active on their way to school for
the second annual ‘Active Autumn’.
Council’s Road Safety team are running the campaign in term two to encourage children at 10
schools to use an active mode of transport such as walking, skating, biking or scootering to get to
and from school.
Schools are provided with Active Autumn packs to educate families about active transport. While
children can take part in the W.o.W challenge, where they get a card stamped each time they walk
or wheel to or from school.
A colouring competition is also being held, with children challenged to develop their own road
safety message.
School Road Safety Coordinator Stephanie Hautler says there are physical and mental benefits for
children from active transport including better road safety awareness, independence, friendships
and physical fitness.
“Skipping the car ride also means less noise, less congestion, less visual pollution and cleaner air.
Burning less fuel saves money too,” Ms Hautler says.
Active travel can be a challenge to fit into an already busy day. Below are some ideas that you
may be able to utilise to get your child active:
· Park and stride – drop your child a short distance from school instead of at the gate. Scout out
a location where they can safely walk without crossing any major roads or entranceways. Make
this your meeting point after school too.
· Pick a route and get to know it – find a walking route that minimises the number of roads to be
crossed and avoids busy intersections, and get to know it together. Point out hazards such as
blind corners and discuss where to cross.
· Find some buddies – you may be able to take turns with other parents escorting a small group to
school. Better yet, organise a walking school bus or scooter train. Talk to your school about how
to set up a walking school bus.
Check out selwyn.govt.nz for more information about Active Autumn.
Rolleston town centre upgrades –
roading layout changes proposed
We’re seeking feedback on proposed changes to the roading layout
of Tennyson and Wordsworth Streets, which are planned as part of
the Rolleston town centre upgrade project.
The proposed roading designs for the Tennyson Street upgrades
and the Wordsworth Street extension are now available for the
public to view. For more information and to complete a feedback
form go to selwyn.govt.nz/rtc-design.
Tennyson Street upgrades overview
It’s proposed that Tennyson Street has a 30km/h speed limit
with 3.2m-wide traffic lanes, regular kerb extensions and raised
platforms. This design creates a safe environment for cyclists when
sharing the road with motor vehicles.
Some key design features include:
· capacity for forecast peak hour traffic volume of 500 to 600
vehicles per hour
· footpaths on each side of the road are wide while still providing
space for traffic lanes and parking. The paths on each side of
the street can also be used by cyclists (cycle lanes have not
been proposed).
Wordsworth Street extension overview
A pedestrian-friendly, slow speed environment is also proposed in
Wordsworth Street, which will be extended through to Tennyson
Street as part of the town centre project.
The configuration of the road has been designed to encourage
slow vehicle speeds and incorporates a narrow carriageway and
raised platforms at the primary pedestrian crossing points. The
existing cul-de-sac turning head will be removed because the road
will ultimately connect to the town centre. The street cross-section
provides space to accommodate two-way vehicle movement and
on-street parking. As with Tennyson Street, the design provides
footpaths that are a minimum of 3.5m wide.
The proposed configuration for the southern section of Wordsworth
Street has a 6m wide road with kerb and channel, a 1.8m wide
footpath on one side of the road and 2.5m wide shared path on the
reserve side of the road.
Some key design features include:
· designated space for vehicles, while pedestrians and cyclists will
be free to travel anywhere
· 33 parking spaces for users of the tennis courts, reserve and
Scout den along the road in a mix of parallel parking bays and
right-angle bays
· separate off-road car park with 12 spaces near the Playcentre.

Selwyn has a top team ready to respond in the case of any emergencies, the district’s new Civil
Defence Manager says.
Al Lawn, who took over as the council’s Civil Defence Manager in April, says he’s aiming to build on
the work done by the team recent years under former manager Ryan O’Rourke, former Emergency
Management Officer Tasha Black and current team members Sue Jenkins and Jason Flewellen.
“They have helped to create a Civil Defence team that is the envy of many in New Zealand. They have
done a brilliant job so I’m just following on their coat tails.”
A former policeman and volunteer firefighter Mr Lawn has worked extensively for Civil Defence in the
past five years including as the district’s Civil Defence Controller and as Recovery Manager after the
Port Hills Fire. He spent three weeks assisting with the management of the Civil Defence response
to the Kaikōura earthquakes and 10 months as a response manager in the northern South Island
overseeing the Ministry of Primary Industries response to the Mycoplasma bovis outbreak.
Having farmed near Lincoln for the past 20 years and serving
as a District Licensing Commissioner for five years he says he
enjoys living and working in the district.
His work includes ensuring the district is as resilient and
prepared, as best it can be, to respond to any adverse event.
That includes making sure resources are in place to enable
communities to respond through their Community Response

Help keep our drains flowing
With autumn here and wind and rain on the way, drains can quickly become blocked with leaves. You
can help avoid flooding around your property and street by removing any leaves that are clogging
drains. Council contractors do regularly clear drains, but leaves can quickly build up especially in windy
conditions at autumn time.

Towards an environmental
diamond
Giving up 20ha of grazing land to protect
the headwaters of the Selwyn River /
Waikiriri was a price well worth paying,
says Quartz Hill Station’s Dan Harper.
“We can’t put cattle in there now but the
positives outweigh the negatives by a long
way. We all have to give up a little for the
environment so for us it wasn’t a major,”
Harper says.
The Selwyn River/Waikirikiri starts in the
alpine foothills to the west of Glentunnel
and its upper reaches, barely more than a
stream, flow through Quartz Hill Station.
Looking after the environment has long
been important on the station. Before
Harper came on the scene, his father-inlaw
Colin Guild had bought a 20-ha block
of tussock land, protected under QEll
covenant, which he looked after and kept
weeds under control.
“Colin has always been aware of the
environment and tried to do things the
best way possible and we’re proud to be for advice.
associated with the covenants,” says Harper.
But it was Colin’s brother James, who
farms neighbouring station High Peak and
who is chairman of the QEll National Trust,
who suggested there was more that could
be done.
“They’ve done a lot of work down on High
Peak fencing off waterways, and James said
it would be good to carry on the work in the
upper reaches of the Selwyn. I just heeded
what he said and the penny dropped for
me that we do need to be looking after the
environment and doing our bit.”
Harper contacted Environment
Canterbury and then QEll’s Rangiora
office. It was agreed that fencing off a two
kilometre stretch of the river and excluding
stock would be a valuable way to protect
water quality.
“The whole process was very simple. The
three of us had a meeting, looked at the
area, decided what was best to do and we
went ahead and did it,” says Harper.
“The fence was quite a technical build
because there were a lot of little streams it
went across. Our contractor Warren Blue
did a really good job.”
Today Harper and his wife Georgie
run Quartz Hill and are part owners but
her parents Colin and Hillary still live on
the 3000-ha property and are available
Dan and Georgie have three
children, Flossie, 5, Marlow, 3, and Ardie, 1.
The station runs 1200 red deer hinds,
450 velveting stags, 5000 ewes and 600
cows. Another property, a 330-ha irrigated
farm, 10 km away on the plains, is used
for finishing the sheep and cattle bred on
Quartz Hill.
“It’s a big operation so it has taken me a
few years to get my head around the whole
thing,” says Harper. “There’re so many
classes of stock and getting your timing
right especially in here where the weather
can be quite harsh, is vital.”
But while running the business is a
demanding job, caring for the environment
in which they live has become more and
more important to Harper.
“I do love fresh water and fishing and eels
and all that sort of stuff, so one of the things
that really appealed to me is trying to make
sure this waterway is going to be here for
generations to enjoy.
“My children and their children will
hopefully see some benefit and I will too,
but if ECan and QEll weren’t there we
‘Looking after the environment
is important.’ Dan Harper of
Quartz Hill Station is helping
to protect the headwaters of
the Selwyn River.
wouldn’t have done it, well not for a few
more years anyway, because we’re just
getting going now in terms of production
so there’s not $80,000 just lying round.”
But that hasn’t stopped them from
extending the fenced area and soon another
200m will be fenced off, at Quartz Hill’s
expense.
Freshwater mussels have been found in
the waterway, but Harper is disappointed
not to have found freshwater crayfish
(kōura) which he remembers being
abundant in streams on the Hawke’s Bay
farm he grew up on.
“I’m working on trying to reintroduce
them and it might not be easy. Don’t ask
me why they’re not here but the first thing
I can do is fence off the waterway and that’s
got to be a start.”
Harper is well aware that out on the plains
the Selwyn River / Waikiriri, which flows
into Te Waihora / Lake Ellesmere, has more
than its share of environmental concerns
over water quality, but believes that doesn’t
apply in the hills.
“I think all the stations up here have done
a great job and we’re trying to carry that
on. We’re all very proud of the water that
enters the Selwyn – it’s pristine and we’re
very proud of that and we’ll keep doing it
that way.”

Farmers focused on
climate change
New recently released research shows
farmers are focused on sustainability and the
impacts of climate change more than ever.
The survey, by Nielsen Research, was
commissioned by the Ministry for Primary
Industries through the Sustainable Land
Management and Climate Change Research
programme.
“These latest results show that 92 percent
of farmers are focused on making their farm
more environmentally sustainable, up from
78 percent in the last survey of 2009. That’s
really heartening,” says Agriculture Minister
Damien O’Connor.
“Some of the specific actions farmers
mentioned were riparian/shelter planting,
waterway control, improved fertiliser
management and more efficient irrigation
systems. This gives us a really valuable
understanding of what is front of mind for
farmers.
“Slightly disheartening is that only 23
percent of farmers anticipate an increased
focus on reducing their greenhouse gas
emissions in the next five years, so that’s
something for us all to work on.’’
Minister for Climate Change James
Shaw says that the results of the survey are
consistent with expectations.
“The survey shows that farmers have a
better understanding of what they are able
to do on-farm to be more environmentally
sustainable, with the exception of
greenhouse gas emissions reduction – an
area where we know farmers feel they need
more information and advice.
“The Biological Emissions Reference
Group (BERG) report told us that there
are lots of solutions emerging, but that the
situation varies from farm-to-farm and so
solutions need to be tailored.
“That’s why we are now investing in
developing that advice and integrated farm
planning tools. We need to support farmers
and growers to transition to sustainable
land-use through planning and informed
decision-making.
“Last year the government consulted on
the Zero Carbon Bill, which showed the
need to give certainty and direction on the
pathway to a low-emissions economy. We
will also soon receive the recommendations
of the Interim Climate Change Committee
on addressing agricultural emissions. This
will help us move forward and provide the
certainty that will enable rural communities
to make long-term decisions,” Minister Shaw
says.
Minister O’Connor says farmers face a
changing climate.
“They need to prepare to cope with the
intensifying weather effects of climate
change and at the same time reduce their
environmental footprint – that takes
investment in infrastructure, and means
you need to be financially viable.
“The Coalition Government is scoping the
development of resources and information
for farmers to fill the knowledge gap in
ways to reduce emissions, working with
the sector to develop practical on-farm
knowledge.”
The full report is available at www.mpi.
govt.nz.
Key statistics
92% focus on making their farms more
environmentally sustainable. Specific
actions mentioned show an increase,
notably riparian/shelter planting, waterway
control, improved fertiliser management
and more efficient irrigation systems (up
from 78% in 2009).
63% of farmers express interest in
further information or advice about
improving resilience to climate change.
Managing severe weather events such as
droughts, floods, and harsh winters is most
commonly mentioned.
Half of farmers think their farm and
business is moderately or majorly impacted
by current climate or severe weather
patterns – this has not changed since
2009 (52% vs 51%). But the proportion
of farmers reporting no impact at all has
halved, from 19% to 10%.
59% anticipate a moderate or major
impact over the next 20 years.
46% saying that clear government policy
guidelines will help them take action.
27% of farmers have placed a moderate
or major focus on reducing their GHG
emissions in the past 5 years (compared
with 31% doing so in 2009).
46% of farmers have actively sought
information about land management
practices or climate change issues in the
last 12 months than in 2009 (down from
62%).
58% said financial assistance, incentives
or subsidies are most likely to encourage
action to make their farms more
environmentally sustainable. Seeing
initiatives work on other farms/businesses
similar to theirs increases farmer
confidence that actions will be effective.

Nothing prickly about Citroen’s Cactus
SELWYN TIMES
Motoring
Ross Kiddie
WHEN CITROEN’S Cactus first
made its way onto the global market
it raised eyebrows everywhere
with its styling.
The cheeky five-door hatchback
was unorthodox, to say the least,
with its heavy frontal styling and
controversial bubble wrap-type
Airbumps on the doors which
protected the bodywork from
damage. Nevertheless, buyers
warmed to the Cactus, and it has
been pretty much a success in all
of the markets it’s been sold in.
In New Zealand Citroen isn’t
a big player, but if you study the
product line-up you’ll find practical,
affordable vehicles which are
thoroughly appealing through
design flair. I guess, you’d expect
nothing less from this French car
maker which has had a reputation
for bold styling cues as they are a
considerable part of the appeal.
A new Cactus has just been
released, and while it incorporates
the styling elements of its predecessor,
it is a little more orthodox
and gone are the Airbumps which
were a major talking point on the
original.
That’s a bit of a disappointment
to me, I liked the concept,
and anything practical on a car
that keeps it looking fresh and
dent-free certainly finds favour
with me.
Gone, too, is the predecessor’s
diesel engine, the Cactus arrives
here in just one specification and
it gets a 1.2-litre turbocharged
three-cylinder engine which is also
used in Citroen’s C3 and Peugeot’s
2008. I’ve experienced this engine
before in both those cars and can
safely say it is one of my favourite
engines of this design, it is quiet,
smooth, and doesn’t overly let
the occupants know of its design
through the harmonics often associated
with its three-pot layout.
The twin-camshaft petrol
engine is listed with a 81kW
and 205Nm rating, these are
healthy outputs, and if you take
into account the light weight of
the Cactus at just 1090kg, it is
a lively model under acceleration.
Citroen claim a standstill to
100km/h time of 10.9sec which
is all the acceleration you need in
today’s motoring environment.
Drive is channelled through a
conventional six-speed automatic
transmission, together there is
reasonable harmony and gearing
CITROEN CACTUS: Economical three-cylinder engine.
which manufactures that lively
performance along with healthy
fuel economy.
The latter is listed by Citroen
at 5.3-litres usage per 100km
(53mpg) on a combined cycle
average. The evaluation car’s dash
display was constantly sitting
around 6.7l/100km (42mpg).
If you also take into consideration
the Cactus’ weight, then it
has benefits in all areas, the engine
isn’t working hard to maintain
momentum, hence the light fuel
load, and there is a feel through
the chassis and suspension that
promotes a sporty sensation.
The suspension deserves a worthy
mention. Anyone familiar with
Citroen product will relate to the
hydropneumatic and air suspensions
systems of eras gone by.
The Cactus doesn’t get anything
quite to sophisticated; however, it

In effect, the ride is well cushioned,
I had an errand to run
over the far east side of the city,
and broken roads on that journey
were a good test for the suspension,
the Cactus has a controlled,
comfortable ride. It can also
attack corners, there is strong
steering feel, turn-in is also direct
and precise.
In my introduction I mentioned
the Cactus’ styling. It isn’t
radical as it could be, but it is a
departure from the norm. The
interior is modernistic and minimalist
in its detailing, however,
it all works cosmetically. You can
also mix and match with interior
trim colours and materials.
I particularly like the permanently
exposed panoramic roof
which is out-of-the-ordinary but
also adds to the character of the
car, it was a $1500 option, but it
represents the ideology of Cactus.
In terms of specification, the
Cactus is also well appointed. You
get all of the kit you’d expect on a
$35k car with many of the functions
operated by voice recognition
technology. I guess one omission
is the lack of tachometer.
That aside, the Cactus incorporates
all things practical in a
modern, stylish package. It’s a
compact five-seater, but also a
funky purchase for anyone who
dares to be different. The last
model sold well in New Zealand,
and I’m expecting the newcomer
to be just as popular.

Checklist for selling
your home
Make small fixes
Inspect your home with a buyer’s eyes,
and correct the flaws that are most
egregious (if affordable) or can be
relatively easily fixed—from repairing
cracks in the walkways to repainting
dingy walls or oiling creaky hinges.
Select the best real estate agent
For a commission, an agent will take care
of many details you may not want to be
bothered with (placing ads, fielding calls,
making signs, etc.) and bring experience
to the table. To find a good one, ask
friends and relatives, then interview
several candidates.
Set a price
A real estate agent will give you a market
analysis free of charge or commitment.
Ask a few to get a broader picture of the
market. Check out
comparable listings
yourself in the real
estate section of
your newspaper or
on websites. Then
decide whether you
want a quick, easy
sale or the highest
possible price.
Clean & declutter
Weed out excess
furniture,
knicknacks, and
“stuff ”—toss it,
donate it, give
it away, sell it at a garage sale, or put
it into storage—so the house seems
more spacious and buyers can imagine
themselves in it.
Stay vigiliant about maintenance
Keep the lawn mowed, shrubs trimmed,
gardens weeded, rooms spotless and
clutter-free.
Ready your home for open days
Hide pocketable valuables, display fresh
flowers or bowls of fruit, bake a batch of
cookies for the homey smell, open the
drapes, keep pets out of sight.
Decide whether to do your own
building inspection
It may save you time, especially with
older homes, to identify—and potentially
solve—problems your buyer’s inspection
will discover later.

Your guide to all things Real Estate
in the Selwyn District
WiFi in
the home
Greg Horton
WiFi is revolutionising the way we use
electrical features in the home with people
now able to control plug adaptors and light
bulbs with WiFi fitted control modules.
This significant electrical trend has
in effect led to do-it-yourself home
automation where Smartphones and plugin
modules control lighting, power points,
security settings and other home electrics.
“The sky is the limit with almost
anything electrical able to be operated by
WiFi with control modules fitted behind
power points, light fittings and light
switches,” says Greg Horton, owner of
Juice Electrical.
External WiFi modules are now
available. These allow people to remotely
operate lights and other electrical
appliances by simply plugging them in.
WiFi controls can also be fitted behind
electrical fixtures, work which must be
carried out by a registered electrician. This
is not only for safety reasons. It is a legal
requirement that a competent licensed
professional complete such installations.
Not observing the law could threaten your
insurance cover should there be a fire or
other problem requiring a claim.
When building new, there is
considerable potential to be innovative in
your home automation. However, Greg
says WiFi operated modules can easily be
installed behind switches after the build
with a retrospective approach allowing
time to budget for this feature.
Greg says it is also a good idea to live
in your new home for a while so you can
decide where you want modules installed.
Existing lights can be configured later
to change the way they are grouped, an
approach which is more cost effective than
rerouting wires.
“Out-buildings with floodlights can be
a nuisance if sensors turn on and off all
night. With WiFi, modules can be fitted
so you can remotely control the lights via
a Smartphone or additional WiFi switches
inside the home. This is particularly
helpful for lifestyle block owners and
farmers,” explains Greg.
An added advantage of WiFi is when
away from home. Security lights can be
controlled from anywhere in the world.
Greg says outdoor speakers are also
becoming a thing of the past. Bluetooth
speakers with a permanent power supply
can be inserted in the ceiling of the living
area, bathroom or outside roof eaves. You
can then access your music playlist from
your own Bluetooth device, cellphone, or
even a friend’s cellphone, creating a type
of ceiling version of a mobile UE boom
which never goes flat.
WiFi controls can also be fitted behind electrical fixtures.

Protecting your family’s privacy and
security when holding an open home
When selling a property, many people
are uncomfortable with the idea of
strangers looking through their house
when they’re not present. However,
holding an open home is often the best
way to show off the place to potential
buyers.
Welcoming house hunters (and let’s
be honest, a few nosy neighbours) to a
property does come with privacy and
security risks that vendors should be
aware of – and plan for.
“It’s natural for sellers to have concerns
about privacy and security – after all,
you’re inviting complete strangers into
your family’s home,” says Real Estate
Authority (REA) Chief Executive Kevin
Lampen-Smith.
Lampen-Smith suggests sellers prepare
by taking note of any items of sentimental
or monetary value that should be removed
from the property.
“Think about items that could easily be
slipped into a pocket or handbag, such as
jewellery, silverware, small electronics or
even the prescription medication stored
in your bathroom cabinet. Tucking them
away in your sock drawer or under your
bed won’t do the trick,” Lampen-Smith
says.
Something that’s often overlooked by
sellers opening their house to potential
buyers is the risk of identity theft. It might
sound far-fetched, but sellers who leave
important documents like passports,
bank statements or credit card receipts
lying around are leaving themselves
vulnerable. Lampen-Smith recommends
these sorts of documents be tidied away
and stored somewhere secure.
Next, do a digital sweep of the property.
The family PC or office desktop should
be switched off and password protected.
USB sticks or hard drives that are loaded
with personal information should also be
stored securely.
“While this might sound like plain
old common sense to many, I’ve heard
of a seller leaving a post-it note with the
house alarm code right next to the alarm,
for anyone to come back and deactivate
later,” Lampen-Smith recalls.
Sellers should talk to their real estate
agent or salesperson about how the actual
open home will be conducted.
“Ask if there will be a sign-in register,
where visitors provide their name and
contact information when they arrive at
the showing. This is a helpful tool for the
agent when it comes to following up with
potential buyers, and, in the case that
something is damaged or stolen during
the open home, the information can be
passed onto police,” Lampen-Smith says.
The agent is required to be present at
the viewing and shouldn’t leave potential
buyers alone at the property. Ideally,
the agent should accompany visitors as
they tour the house, but this isn’t always
possible if the showing gets busy. Sellers
could ask that a second person from the
real estate agency be on-site during the
open home, to greet visitors at the door,
ask them to sign in and wait until the
agent is free to show them through.
Sellers who still feel uneasy about
having an open home could ask the agent
to show the property ‘by appointment
only’ to potential buyers.
“There’s no law saying you must have
an open home. Remember, it’s your
house and ultimately you don’t have to do
anything you’re uncomfortable with,” says
Lampen-Smith.
