BAFFLING: Motorists say the array of different signs at<br />
the State Highway 73, Dawsons and Chattertons Rds<br />
intersection in West Melton is confusing.<br />

TRAFFIC SIGNS and road<br />
markings continue to confuse<br />
people in the district.<br />
The intersection of State<br />
Highway 73, Dawsons and<br />
Chattertons Rds in West Melton<br />
is baffling motorists who say<br />
there are too many different<br />
signs.<br />
Motorists also appear to be<br />
confused about where they can<br />
park outside The Famous Grouse<br />
Hotel after the district council<br />
removed two parks on Gerald St<br />
last year to improve safety at the<br />
pedestrian crossing.<br />
The West Melton intersection<br />
features four different speed limit<br />
signs, a no entry and two stop<br />
signs.<br />
West Melton resident Cherryl<br />
Davis called it a “mess of signs,”<br />
which has been confusing her for<br />
quite a while.<br />
“Navigating that intersection is<br />
extremely confusing, especially<br />
if you’re from out of town,” she<br />
said.<br />
Mrs Davis took to Facebook<br />
to share her frustrations on the<br />
West Melton Community Page.<br />
Within a day, there were more<br />
than 30 comments on the post.<br />
One comment said the stop<br />
sign was difficult to see. “It gets<br />
hidden by the lamp post with the<br />
100 sign on it. If you don’t use it<br />
often I could easily see why you<br />
could miss the stop or only see it<br />
at the last minute, especially as<br />
there are so many other signs in<br />
your view,” it said.<br />

ROAD SIGNAGE continues to be a source<br />
of confusion in the district.<br />
We’ve reported on the issue before, and<br />
we have more again today.<br />
New concerns have been raised on<br />
the West Melton Community Page on<br />
Facebook (see page 1).<br />
The district council says 68 traffic management plans are<br />
submitted to the council each month, a reflection of the large<br />
amount of development.<br />
So mistakes can happen. But some things just don’t add up.<br />
Take the two former car parks outside The Famous Grouse<br />
in Gerald St, Lincoln. They are car parks no more for safety<br />
reasons. But people still park there because the white car park<br />
lines remain. A reasonable defence if the constabulary decide to<br />
issue a ticket.<br />

Former mayor to<br />
stand again in elections<br />
• By Devon Bolger<br />
A CONTEST has begun with<br />
former mayor Bill Woods<br />
announcing he is running for<br />
the top spot in October’s local<br />
body elections.<br />
Mr Woods and Mayor Sam<br />
Broughton are the only two currently<br />
running in the race with<br />
nominations closing this Friday.<br />
Mr Woods said he’s excited to<br />
be running and looking forward<br />
to campaigning again.<br />
“It’s going to be a challenge for<br />
the people of <strong>Selwyn</strong> to decide<br />
whether to replace one of the<br />
country’s youngest mayors to<br />
one of the oldest.”<br />
The 76-year-old was the second<br />
ever mayor in the district<br />
and served one term from 1992-<br />
1995.<br />
He unsuccessfully ran against<br />
Mr Broughton in 2016 and<br />
received 1352 votes.<br />
Mr Woods said it was the<br />
recent rate hikes that led to him<br />
deciding to run again.<br />
“The council is out of control<br />
and it needs somebody to bring<br />
it back into line, that person is<br />
me,” he said.<br />
The first thing he would<br />
change is to put the elected<br />
councillors back in control of<br />
things, he said.<br />
“Township committees, hall<br />
committees and community<br />
committees are taking away<br />
people’s rights and I would like<br />
to give that power back.”<br />
Mr Woods said he will be<br />
campaigning on splitting the<br />
district in two for rates purposes.<br />
“That means the major populous<br />
area would be one and the<br />
rural area would be another.”<br />
The populous areas that<br />
<strong>2019</strong><br />
CAMPAIGNING: Bill Woods is having another attempt at<br />
becoming mayor of the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District.<br />
should be split are Lincoln,<br />
Prebbleton and Rolleston,<br />
he said.<br />
What he brings to the<br />
table is his reputation,<br />
Mr Woods said.<br />
“I challenge you to<br />
find something I have<br />
taken on and failed at<br />
or not followed through<br />
with.<br />
“I built the Springfield<br />
doughnut off my own<br />
back, I’ve raised funds<br />
for St John including $60,000 for<br />
a new ambulance, I really care<br />
about this community.”<br />

CRASH PAIR HOSPITALISED<br />

Clausen said they were able to<br />

moderate condition.<br />

Leeston dump<br />
station ready<br />
this week<br />
• By Devon Bolger<br />
THE LEESTON community is<br />
celebrating the installation of a<br />
long-awaited wastewater dump<br />
station.<br />
It was installed in Station St<br />
and will be up and running this<br />
week.<br />
Leeston Community<br />
Committee chairman Lloyd<br />
Clausen said they first brought<br />
up the idea 10 years ago.<br />
“We’ve been trying for ages<br />
to get one and the idea is that it<br />
will, hopefully, be just another<br />
point of call for motor caravans<br />
to stop and have a look around<br />
Leeston,’’ he said.<br />
The station is part of the work<br />
started from the $267,800 the<br />
Government awarded the district<br />
council last year in round<br />
two of funding from the Tourism<br />
Infrastructure Fund.<br />
The other projects include new<br />
dump stations in Tai Tapu, Lake<br />
Coleridge and Glentunnel. In total,<br />
the stations will cost $90,000.<br />
The community committee<br />
requested the dump station as<br />
part of the district council’s<br />
2017-2018 Annual Plan.<br />
Glentunnel’s new dump<br />
station should also be operating<br />
this week.<br />
Business success earns Chile trip<br />
• By Devon Bolger<br />
ALLI KENNEDY has<br />
dreams of being the boss of a<br />
mega-corporation one day.<br />
“I remember, probably 10<br />
years ago, I asked my dad how<br />
to make the most money, how<br />
to become rich and he said you<br />
start a business. That really stuck<br />
with me,” the 17-year-old Lincoln<br />
High School student said.<br />
Alli was eight-years-old when<br />
she first thought of owning a<br />
business when she grew up.<br />
“It just went from there. I got<br />
into high school and started<br />
taking business studies and<br />
realised it was the path I want to<br />
go down.”<br />
The year 13’s potential as a<br />
budding entrepreneur has been<br />
recognised by national business<br />
leaders.<br />
She has been selected as one of<br />
eight students to travel to Chile<br />
in October after competing in<br />
the Entrepreneurs in Action<br />
business competition last month.<br />
She was chosen to compete at<br />
the competition in Wellington<br />
from the 4000 participants in<br />
the young enterprise scheme<br />
across the country.<br />
Her eight-person team won<br />
both challenges at the event,<br />
winning each member a total of<br />
$7000 from Massey University<br />
SKILLS: Alli Kennedy is going to Chile after a team she was<br />
in successfully won the Entrepreneurs In Action business<br />
competition last month.<br />
and the trip to Chile.<br />
On the trip, the students will<br />
learn about local culture and<br />
business and meet local entrepreneurs.<br />
They will experience site visits<br />
to established companies and<br />
start-ups and they will work<br />
with local students on business<br />
challenges.<br />
Going to Chile will really<br />
help to build on her business<br />
skills, Alli said.<br />
“At the business competition,<br />
I discovered the importance of<br />
knowing the culture of a company<br />
when working in business.<br />
I think working with students in<br />
chile and businesses there is really<br />
going to improve my skills.”<br />
Alli is also a part of the Lions<br />
Foundation Young Enterprise<br />
Scheme through Lincoln High<br />
School.<br />
Her team’s business Suck It<br />
Straws created designer stainless<br />
steel straws to reduce plastic.<br />
They won the YES regional<br />
marketing award last month.<br />
Starting her own business and<br />
seeing it succeed was a great moment,<br />
Alli said.<br />
“Being able to work with a real<br />
business in school and seeing<br />
what it’s like to work with people<br />
and having success has been<br />
really fun.”<br />
Alli said all of this has led<br />
to her deciding business is the<br />
career for her.<br />
“I’m going on to study entrepreneurship<br />
and strategy at<br />
Canterbury University next year<br />
to get a Bachelor of Commerce.<br />
“I’m excited to be going down<br />
that path with my tertiary studies<br />
and then, hopefully, after that<br />
I’ll be getting experience and<br />
eventually, I’ll own a business.”<br />

District council has<br />
‘no plans to change’<br />
confusing road signs<br />
•From page 1<br />
District council<br />
transportation team leader<br />
Mark Chamberlain said<br />
the council is responsible<br />
for putting in the<br />
speed limit signs at the<br />
intersection, but the stop<br />
signs are the New Zealand<br />
Transport<br />
Agency’s<br />
responsibility.<br />
“There are no<br />
plans to change<br />
the signs that<br />
we are aware of,”<br />
Mr Chamberlain<br />
said.<br />
He said on<br />
average 68 traffic<br />
management<br />
plans are<br />
submitted for the<br />
district each month.<br />
A NZTA representative<br />
was on leave and could<br />
not comment.<br />
Meanwhile, The Famous<br />
Grouse Hotel owner Lynn<br />
Townsend, who opposed<br />
the removal of the Gerald<br />
St car parks, said he is not<br />
Mark<br />
Chamberlain<br />
surprised people are still<br />
parking there.<br />
“I told the council that<br />
Lincoln needs every park<br />
it can get so it is a bit of<br />
an I told you moment for<br />
me.”<br />
Yellow no parking lines<br />
were put in last year but<br />
the white<br />
lines that<br />
used to mark<br />
the parks are<br />
still visible<br />
and people<br />
continue to<br />
park there.<br />
The Lincoln<br />
Community<br />
Committee<br />
has also<br />
written to<br />
the district<br />
council, urging it to<br />
remove the white lines.<br />
Mr Chamberlain<br />
said the old lines were<br />
initially blacked out when<br />
the yellow lines were<br />
painted.<br />
“The blacking out<br />
has been worn and the<br />
removal of the old lines is<br />
being arranged.”<br />
The penalty for parking<br />
on the yellow lines is<br />
$60.<br />
Lincoln resident of<br />
13 years Kim Eccleston<br />
has also been asking the<br />
district council to improve<br />
confusing road<br />
signs.<br />
He said road<br />
works in the<br />
district are<br />
riddled with<br />
mistakes, such<br />
as the wrong<br />
speed limit<br />
signs.<br />
A road<br />
works site near<br />
Rolleston on<br />
Weedons Rd<br />
recently had a 100km/h<br />
sign in an 80km/h zone.<br />
The sign was kept up for<br />
three days before being<br />
changed to the correct<br />
80km/h.<br />

Petition under way in a<br />
bid to improve safety at intersection<br />
• By Devon Bolger<br />
WEST MELTON residents<br />
are taking their fight for safety<br />
improvements on a controversial<br />
intersection to Parliament.<br />
The West Melton Residents’<br />
Association is collecting signatures<br />
for a petition to urge the<br />
Government to approve funding<br />
for immediate action on the State<br />
Highway 73 and Weedons Ross<br />
Rd intersection.<br />
So far the<br />
petition has<br />
more than 650<br />
signatures.<br />
Association<br />
chairman Tim<br />
Schurr said they<br />
Tim Schurr<br />
decided to start<br />
the petition<br />
after proposed improvements<br />
to the intersection were pushed<br />
back.<br />
“As a committee, we figured<br />
that is not good enough and we<br />
started looking at the options of<br />
what we could do to cast a light<br />
on the situation,’’ he said.<br />
“Our only hope is to keep putting<br />
a spotlight on this because<br />
nobody else in Canterbury is<br />
going to do it. It’s up to us and a<br />
petition is one of the ways we can<br />
do that.”<br />
CAMPAIGN: The West Melton Residents’ Association is<br />
collecting signatures for a petition wanting immediate action at<br />
the intersection of State Highway 73 and Weedons Ross Rd. <br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> MP Amy Adams has<br />
also been advocating for an upgrade<br />
of the intersection and said<br />
she supports the petition.<br />
“A member of the residents’<br />
association met with me a few<br />
months ago and sought my advice<br />
on how she and other West<br />
Melton residents could continue<br />
to raise the profile of this issue,”<br />
she said.<br />
Mrs Adams will personally<br />
deliver the petition to Parliament<br />
in November.<br />
“I am very supportive of the<br />
petition and have shared it on<br />
my Facebook page in order to<br />
encourage local residents and<br />
concerned road users to sign it.”<br />
The residents’ association has<br />
been campaigning for more than<br />
10 years for something to be<br />
done about the intersection.<br />
“That whole roading corridor<br />
was due to be updated from<br />
Yaldhurst right through to Aylesbury<br />
and part of that upgrade<br />
included the intersection,’’ Mr<br />
Schurr said.<br />
“That all changed last year,<br />
budgets were adjusted and the<br />
New Zealand Transport Agency<br />
Tickets<br />
7 MARCH<br />
On Sale<br />
LINCOLN<br />
Now<br />
www.selwynsounds.co.nz<br />
withdrew the project. We were<br />
left without a plan.”<br />
It was revealed last October<br />
that safety improvements at<br />
Weedons Ross Rd and SH73<br />
weren’t included in the NZTA’s<br />
National Land Transport Programme<br />
for 2018-21.<br />
The improvements had been<br />
recommended for inclusion in<br />
both the 2018/21 Regional and<br />
Land Transport programmes.<br />
NZTA figures show there have<br />
been 11 crashes at the intersection<br />
since 2006. One was serious<br />
and 10 were minor or didn’t<br />
cause injury.<br />
NZTA director regional relationships<br />
Jim Harland said the<br />
intersection didn’t meet the new<br />
threshold for funding under the<br />
investment assessment framework.<br />
“Using this framework, it was<br />
assessed as a medium crash risk<br />
and safety alignment, with a low<br />
benefit cost ratio,’’ he said.<br />
Mr Schurr said he hopes<br />
the petition leads to traffic<br />
lights being installed at the<br />
intersection.<br />

Delay over<br />
quarry information<br />
INFORMATION requested from<br />
Fulton Hogan over its application<br />
to open a quarry in Weedons has<br />
been delayed.<br />
The district council and<br />
Environment Canterbury had<br />
requested information on the<br />
volume of groundwater which<br />
would be extracted from the<br />
quarry, bird strike mitigations,<br />
and an update on draft<br />
conditions.<br />
Fulton Hogan has also<br />
been asked to provide more<br />
information on how its mobile<br />
processing plant will be used.<br />
The information was due back<br />
on Friday but due to ECan and<br />
the district council asking for<br />
further information on traffic,<br />
noise and landscape, Fulton<br />
Hogan has more time.<br />
The information will now be<br />
released on <strong>August</strong> 16.<br />
Weedons Residents’ Association<br />
committee member Simon Moore<br />
said it’s a continuation of the<br />
process bending over backward<br />
for the applicant.<br />
“It’s just another example of<br />
‘we’ll give you whatever time you<br />
want to get yourself sorted out,<br />
don’t worry it’s not a problem and<br />
again no consultation with those<br />
affected.”

Christine Cassin<br />
Watching out for fair play in the fast lanes<br />
Lincoln’s Christine Cassin<br />
has spent 15 years with<br />
her eye on the fast<br />
lanes at national and<br />
international swimming<br />
competitions as a<br />
International Swimming<br />
Federation accredited<br />
official – only one of six in<br />
New Zealand. She talks<br />
to Jacob Page about the<br />
role<br />
How did this all start for you?<br />
Both my children were swimming<br />
at Halswell and the club<br />
asked me to help out.<br />
When I joined the Swimming<br />
Canterbury West Coast management<br />
committee in 2005, I<br />
joined because I felt I had skills<br />
that were valuable and the other<br />
members of that committee were<br />
all qualified referees at the time.<br />
They ran junior carnivals so I<br />
started helping them and I felt<br />
if they were going down to help<br />
that I should go as well because I<br />
was on the committee.<br />
When did it start to become a<br />
serious pursuit?<br />
That was when I started refereeing<br />
at national competitions<br />
and that’s when the international<br />
opportunities started. It’s really<br />
TALENT: International swimming official Christine Cassin.<br />
grown on me.<br />
I first qualified as an inspector<br />
of turns in 2005 but when<br />
I started refereeing nationally<br />
that’s when I really started to<br />
gain a passion for what I was<br />
doing. We are there to make sure<br />
the swimmers have a fair and<br />
equal opportunity.<br />
Any benefit of the doubt goes<br />
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER <br />
to the swimmer so if there is any<br />
doubt you have to be 100 per cent<br />
clear on what you saw before you<br />
disqualify someone.<br />
I’m one of six FINA registered<br />
officials in New Zealand and I’m<br />
incredibly proud of that achievement.<br />
Each term is four years and<br />
I just got another four year<br />
term which started this year.<br />
It’s a form of validation to get a<br />
second term, like you’re doing<br />
something right.<br />
Reaction time is important<br />
because the speed and touch at<br />
which the swimmers are turning,<br />
you do really need to be on<br />
your game. The age of 65 is the<br />
cut-off age and that makes sense,<br />
you have to give younger people<br />
an opportunity.<br />
Can you talk about your time<br />
at the World Championships<br />
at Gwangju, South Korea last<br />
month.<br />
That’s been a real highlight,<br />
there’s a lot of pressure and you<br />
have to be at the top of your game<br />
because there’s a lot going on but<br />
to be that close to the best swimmers<br />
in the world is a real thrill.<br />
Did you ever think that you<br />
would end up at an event like<br />
that when you started out 15<br />
years ago?<br />
Absolutely not, I came into<br />
this relatively late in life, I wasn’t<br />
a competitive swimmer, and I’ll<br />
be the first to admit I’ve sort of<br />
done things backward to get to<br />
this point.<br />

‘I’d have the best seat in the house at times’<br />
•From page 9<br />
Do you have future goals that<br />
you would like to achieve?<br />
Obviously the Olympics next<br />
year would be great, but since<br />
I’ve just been to World Champs,<br />
the chances that I’m selected for<br />
that might not be high.<br />
How come?<br />
Speaking with other officials at<br />
South Korea, the feeling was that<br />
if you were picked to officiate at<br />
the World Championships that<br />
you wouldn’t be picked to go to<br />
Japan next year.<br />
That’s only the perception, we<br />
haven’t been told anything official<br />
but if that’s how it pans out then<br />
I’m absolutely fine with that. I<br />
have an idea of who may go from<br />
the six of us (in New Zealand)<br />
and if my feeling is correct then<br />
that person deserves to go and I’ll<br />
be very happy for them.<br />
I’m absolutely fine with<br />
how things have turned out,<br />
it was just the talk of the people<br />
in Korea that if you’ve done a<br />
World Champs this year that<br />
the Olympics may go to<br />
someone else and that seems<br />
logical and I’m comfortable with<br />
that.<br />
I would love to do something<br />
every year but all six of us will<br />
get an equal opportunity over<br />
the next four years.<br />
WATCHFUL: Christine Cassin has her eyes on a swimmer at the start of a FINA World<br />
Championship event in South Korea last month.<br />
I’ve been lucky enough to have What is it like waiting for<br />
three FINA competitions in five that opportunity?<br />
years and I would expect I’ll get I had no expectation that<br />
another final appointment in the I’d be appointed to the World<br />
next three years but maybe only Champs this year so it was a<br />
one.<br />
complete surprise to me. The<br />
appointments are made by FINA<br />
and it tells Swimming New<br />
Zealand that then informs me.<br />
Do you ever have any<br />
pinch yourself moments while<br />
you’re trying to do the job?<br />
I’d have to say yes, to be<br />
three feet from the best<br />
swimmers and some of the best<br />
athletes in the world, sometimes<br />
you have to look around and<br />
enjoy that.<br />
I guess I’d have the best seat in<br />
the house at times.<br />
Is there a feeling that, like in<br />
a game of rugby, you’ve done<br />
a good job as an official if you<br />
don’t become the centre of<br />
attention?<br />
Yes, I’m there to observe what<br />
the swimmers are doing and<br />
report any infringements but<br />
I’m certainly happy when there’s<br />
nothing to report.<br />
Have there been other<br />
highlights?<br />
Being honoured by<br />
Swimming New Zealand as<br />
Technical Official of the Year<br />
in 20<strong>14</strong> and then the Sport<br />
Canterbury Sports Awards<br />
in 2016 was a real highlight as<br />
well.<br />
Are your children still<br />
involved in the sport?<br />
Holly swam at Jasi Swim<br />
Club when she was at high<br />
school and university and<br />
now she does open water<br />
swimming while my son<br />
Ashley does iron man<br />
competitions so they’re still<br />
involved in their own way.<br />

New energy<br />
business comes<br />
to Darfield<br />
Yard Supervisor Steve James will attend to<br />
all your needs at the Birchfield Energy and<br />
Resources Ltd Creyke Road depot.<br />
Keeping warm this winter just got easier with<br />
the establishment of a new company in Darfield,<br />
Birchfield Energy and Resources Ltd. The new<br />
company offers firewood and coal direct to the public.<br />
Sales and Transport Manager and Darfield local<br />
Mark Wisdom says the business is an energy<br />
company supplying to the industrial and domestic<br />
markets. The company has spent the last few months<br />
developing the depot, complete with dry storage,<br />
offices and a public weighbridge, on Creyke Road<br />
just outside the township.<br />
Mark says “We also plan to add a landscape<br />
supplies service to the public and currently have<br />
railway sleepers in 1200 mm lengths and Paparoa<br />
Red Rock available in three grades - - 4 mm, 12.25<br />
mm and 25 mm plus”.<br />
The depot is open to the public and also offers a<br />
delivery service around the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District for all coal,<br />
firewood and landscaping orders.<br />
Sourcing firewood that is split and dry is a yearly<br />
concern for homeowners. Mark says Birchfield<br />
Energy and Resources has 5000 cubic metres of<br />
beech firewood available for immediate sale. Beech is<br />
ideal for wood burners as it is a hardwood with a long<br />
burn time and is clean with little spark.<br />
“We have a years worth of wood ahead of us that<br />
is clean, dry, split and ready to burn. Our truck can<br />
deliver one bulk load or two four cubic metre loads<br />
where customers in the same area could share<br />
delivery costs.”<br />
Birchfield Energy and Resources offers West Coast<br />
sub-bituminous coal with low ash, low sulphur –<br />
which provides clean burning. Coal is available from<br />
the Creyke Road depot in 20 kg bags for the average<br />
consumer or half ton bags for those that live out of<br />
town or have larger storage capacity. Half ton bags<br />
can be loaded as is or dumped loose onto a trailer.<br />
The large public weighbridge, that is located within<br />
the depot, caters for all sized vehicles from cars with<br />
trailers to truck and trailer units.<br />
Birchfield Coal Mines Ltd is the parent company<br />
of Birchfield Energy and Resources Ltd and has<br />
45 years of industry experience, which means all<br />
firewood and coal comes directly from the source and<br />
is offered at competitive prices “direct to the public.”<br />
Customers who purchase 3 cubic metres of<br />
firewood receive free delivery. (Darfield township only)<br />
As an introductory offer, fire wood orders within 15<br />
km of the depot will be delivered free of charge until<br />
31 <strong>August</strong> <strong>2019</strong>.<br />

Ellesmere show class in the wet<br />
• By Jacob Page<br />
A COUPLE of tries, a penalty<br />
and some resolute defence in<br />
wet conditions helped Ellesmere<br />
earn a 15-0 win over the<br />
Cantabrians at Springston on<br />
Saturday.<br />
Their Tane Norton Cup<br />
campaign will continue against<br />
Canterbury Maori in Kirwee<br />
on Saturday. Canterbury Maori<br />
beat North Canterbury 21-<strong>14</strong> in<br />
the other competition game.<br />
Tries to Ellesmere centre<br />
Cameron Hay and wing James<br />
Wilkins proved vital, while<br />
Ashton Mulloy added a penalty<br />
to help them ease past the<br />
Cantabrians, which were made<br />
up of Christchurch-based club<br />
players.<br />
It was a confidence boost<br />
for the new-look team, which<br />
are preparing for their annual<br />
Southbridge Shield game against<br />
North Canterbury in a fortnight.<br />
Team manager Michael<br />
Sheat said the wet and muddy<br />
conditions made the game “a bit<br />
of a dog fight at times,” but there<br />
were plenty of positives to take<br />
away.<br />
“I thought our lineout was<br />
much-improved on the first-up<br />
performance and we got some<br />
dominance at scrum time too,”<br />
he said.<br />
“When you’re faced with<br />
conditions like that, it can be<br />
easier to play without the ball at<br />
times.<br />
“I thought we adjusted well<br />
and got our kicking game<br />
going and really tried to control<br />
territory as much as we could.”<br />
Sheat said the performance<br />
was a big improvement on<br />
their loss to Mid-Canterbury<br />
the previous week, and their<br />
defensive energy was much<br />
better.<br />
“Clearly we leaked a few points<br />
against Mid-Canterbury, so<br />

for the guys to come together<br />

especially when they were under<br />
pressure at times, was very<br />
pleasing.”<br />
Sheat said he expected<br />
Canterbury Maori to have a big<br />
forward pack, which will look to<br />
dominate physically.<br />
“We’ll certainly look at some<br />
film during the week to see<br />
how (Canterbury Maori) went,<br />
but I know they have a number<br />
of players on the fringes of<br />
Canterbury B, so they’ll be a<br />
tough proposition for us this<br />
Saturday.”<br />

Colts tested<br />
in warm-up<br />
ahead of<br />
shield game<br />
• By Jacob Page<br />
THE ELLESMERE colts suffered<br />
a 24-12 loss to the Ellesmere<br />
Keas in the curtain-raiser to the<br />
senior match at Springston on<br />
Saturday.<br />
The Keas were a composite<br />
side of Ellesmere club players,<br />
which aimed to give the colts<br />
a test before their Southbridge<br />
Shield game against North<br />
Canterbury in a fortnight.<br />
Team manager Dave Beatty<br />
said the colts did well to race<br />
out to a 12-0 lead, thanks to two<br />
tries from halfback Tyler Power.<br />
However, once the bigger Keas<br />
forward pack started to get their<br />
hands on the ball, they started to<br />

Young Sewlyn futsal side<br />
show potential on world stage<br />
• By Jacob Page<br />
THE SELWYN United Red<br />
and White Stripes finished<br />
11th in the under-13 age-group<br />
at the Futsal Club World<br />
Championships in Florida.<br />
The team won their opening<br />
pool game but were beaten in<br />
their next three games before<br />
finishing the tournament with<br />
a confidence-boosting 6-0 win<br />
over Ethiopian club side Jinka.<br />
Coach Ben Lapslie said he felt<br />
the team could have finished<br />
higher but conceding goals at the<br />
wrong time cost them when it<br />
mattered most.<br />
“I said to the boys before our<br />
last game that we needed to<br />
make a statement and prove that<br />
we belong with the best teams<br />
here,” he said.<br />
“We played well in patches<br />
up until then but we put it all<br />
together against Jinka, which<br />
was good to see.<br />
“That’s tournament football, if<br />
you don’t turn up one day, then<br />
you put yourself behind and<br />
that’s what happened to us after<br />
our first win.<br />
“I felt like we could compete<br />
with any team there but we made<br />
some errors, which cost us a<br />
higher place finish.”<br />
Lapslie said the team have<br />
had a busy six months after they<br />
won the Australasian qualifying<br />
tournament on the Gold Coast<br />
in January.<br />
“The boys will now take a term<br />
off futsal just to refresh and we’ll<br />
see where they go from here.”<br />
Lapslie, who is also a national<br />
futsal player, said he enjoyed<br />
coaching on the big stage.<br />

THE THREE most consistent<br />
teams in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> premier<br />

why they will likely be in the<br />

convincing wins on Saturday at<br />
the Lincoln Event Centre.<br />

Greenpark B all earned valuable<br />
competition points in week two.<br />
Greenpark A beat Southbridge<br />

before their<br />
game against<br />

a muchimproved<br />
Southbridge<br />
A team, but they put in a<br />
composed performance.<br />
“It was goal-for-goal for the<br />
first quarter, but we put in a<br />
strong second quarter,” she said.<br />
“We looked after the ball that<br />
we turned over and built a good<br />
lead. It was pleasing because we<br />
have girls coming back from<br />
injury so it was a good result.”<br />
Greenpark A are getting ready<br />
to face Broadfield A on Saturday.<br />
Broadfield A bounced<br />
back from their draw<br />
against Southbridge with a<br />
commanding win against<br />
Lincoln A.<br />
Coach Yvonne Crichton-Hill<br />
said it was a much more settled<br />
effort from her team as they<br />
build up to the finals. “We were<br />
intense and focused across all<br />
four quarters and through the<br />
court. We got turnover ball and<br />
converted it. I was pleased with<br />
how the team picked themselves<br />
up and improved.”<br />
Crichton-Hill praised defender<br />
Kayla Williams and injured<br />
goal-keep Georgie Bolton, who<br />
both had strong games.<br />
Lincoln A coach Dawn Dalley<br />
said with eight squad members,<br />
her team looked a little flat and<br />
they will need to address this<br />
ahead of their next game.<br />

Mechelle Barltrop said it was<br />
a case of job done against<br />
Prebbleton. “The margin should<br />
have been more but we certainly<br />
threw away a lot of ball and<br />
generally we played poorly once<br />
we got a big lead and got a little<br />
complacent.”<br />
A win against Southbridge A<br />
will all but confirm Greenpark<br />

Tai Tapu whizz-kids take out ODT quiz<br />
• By Claire Booker<br />
TAI TAPU School pupils took<br />
out the year 5 and 6 section of<br />
the Otago Daily <strong>Times</strong> Extra!<br />
Canterbury current events quiz<br />
at Cobham Intermediate.<br />
Young quizzers from across<br />
Canterbury were tested on<br />
topics, including who am I,<br />
what am I, New Zealand places,<br />
around the world mapping and<br />
famous faces.<br />
The Tai Tapu School team won<br />
their section with 82 points out<br />
of a possible 100.<br />
Closely following in second<br />
SCHOOLS<br />
was Fendalton Open-Air School,<br />
only two points behind the<br />
champions with 80 points.<br />
Prebbleton School secured<br />
third, with a score of 79.<br />
Tai Tapu champions Ethan<br />
Garrett-Burke, 9, Edward Bull,<br />
10, and Caleb O’Leary, 10, were<br />
pleasantly pleased with their<br />
win.<br />
Edward said he “didn’t like the<br />
faces” questions, but the team<br />
enjoyed the challenges.<br />
The North Loburn School<br />
team won the year 7 and 8 quiz<br />
with 89 points.<br />
William Hassall, 12, Charley<br />
Ward, 13, and Harry Witt, 12,<br />
said they were happy to win the<br />
quiz, but “it wasn’t planned.”<br />
“The newspaper was the<br />
hardest part,” Charley said.<br />
The teams had to find answers<br />
to questions from an Otago<br />
Daily <strong>Times</strong> newspaper, which<br />
caught them off guard.<br />
Two Hillview Christian School<br />
teams took second and third<br />
with 88 and 87 points.<br />
Extra! editor Tricia Rowe was<br />
pleased the event went smoothly.<br />
“The year 7 and 8 group were<br />
really lively, which made the<br />
quiz go fast,” she said.<br />
“The lead-up to the event has<br />
been stressful, with balancing<br />
writing papers and writing the<br />
quizzes, but I’ve got a really good<br />
team.”<br />
The quiz was run by the<br />
Otago Daily <strong>Times</strong> through<br />
Extra! – its monthly Newspapers<br />
in Education publication for<br />
primary, intermediate and<br />
junior secondary school pupils.<br />

AS I SAID in my last column,<br />
we’ve travelled to Italy so Vittoria<br />
can meet the family. And what a<br />
journey it’s been.<br />
Before we even left, Vittoria<br />
caused her parents a heap of stress<br />
with her first ambulance trip to<br />
the emergency department, starting<br />
on a course of antibiotics for<br />
pneumonia, setting us back a day<br />
on doctor’s orders.<br />
It sounds bad, and it wasn’t<br />
ideal, but it was all okay apart<br />
from unsettling our sleep patterns.<br />
So we were lucky, our pre-dawn<br />
flight on Saturday went swimmingly.<br />
Vittoria was happy to nap,<br />
draw or watch cartoons all the<br />
way to Brisbane where we stayed a<br />
night with my sister-in-law Sarah.<br />
The only niggle was that she<br />
leaked on me because her nappy<br />
was askew but, like for most parents<br />
I think, that’s a non-event.<br />
It looked like either the antibiotics<br />
or time were working a treat<br />
on Vittoria, so we were quietly<br />
confident going into the <strong>14</strong>-hour<br />
leg to Dubai on Sunday night.<br />
And again, it went pretty good.<br />
Fourteen uneventful hours.<br />
Arriving in Dubai we were all<br />
tired, dishevelled, probably smelly<br />
and definitely over trying to sleep<br />
in an aircraft seat with a fidgety<br />
toddler. Between us and relaxation,<br />
were only four hours in an<br />
airport and a six-hour flight. Easy<br />
right? Spoiler alert – no.<br />
Our luck ran out 20 minutes before<br />
boarding started for our flight<br />
to Venice when Vittoria vomited<br />
all over the floor in the middle<br />
of a packed terminal. And a little<br />
on my shirt and shoes. Honestly,<br />
what’s the protocol for that?<br />
I just floundered in surprise for<br />
a bit until Laura went into nurse<br />
mode and sent me off to clean<br />
Vittoria up while she “dealt with<br />
it” in the splash zone.<br />
Once we were as “fresh” as possible<br />
and a suddenly exhausted<br />
toddler crying in my arms, we<br />
made our way to the gate where<br />
we were told we could get Vittoria<br />
checked up for free at the airport<br />
clinic and wouldn’t miss our flight.<br />
However, once the “ambulance”<br />
arrives (literally a push trolley)<br />
we were told that a full check at<br />
the clinic might make us miss our<br />
flight – great.<br />
With all the vitals coming back<br />
healthy, and Vittoria totally out to<br />
it asleep, I was offered a difficult<br />
choice; do further checks and<br />
miss the flight or sign a waiver<br />
saying “refused treatment” and<br />
that if it gets worse it’s all on you.<br />
Although I was confident to<br />
sign away and just get to the flight<br />
so we could be done with it, I felt<br />
terrible anyway. So for three long<br />
and stressful hours of the last flight<br />
we thought of all the worst things<br />
it could be – dehydration, gastro,<br />
some sort of never-wake-up disease.<br />

CONFIDENT: In Dubai,<br />
unaware of what was coming<br />
next.<br />
And what does Vittoria do when<br />
she finally wakes up? Sits up, laughs<br />
and becomes the flight staff’s<br />
darling by running laps around the<br />
plane with a huge grin on her face<br />
for the duration of the flight.<br />
Anyway, we’re in Italy now and<br />
ready for family time.<br />

BACKYARD CRITTERS<br />
Feasting on kawakawa leaves<br />
Mike Bowie is an ecologist who specialises in<br />
entomology (insects and other invertebrates).<br />
Each week he introduces a new species found in<br />
his backyard at Lincoln. His column aims to raise<br />
public awareness of biodiversity, the variety of<br />
living things around us. Check out the full list of<br />
invertebrates found at http://naturewatch.org.nz/projects/<br />
backyard-biodiversity-bugs-in-lincoln<br />
ANYONE WHO knows<br />
kawakawa, or Piper excelsum,<br />
will be familiar with the holey<br />
nature of its leaves.<br />
The main herbivore causing<br />
damage on these peppery leaves<br />
is the native kawakawa looper,<br />
Cleora scriptaria. The moths<br />
are found throughout the year,<br />
but mostly in the hotter months<br />
throughout the North and<br />
South Island.<br />
The moths are extremely<br />
variable in size and colour, but<br />
often have a 30-55mm wingspan<br />
and are brown in colour. The<br />
wings have scalloped edges and<br />
have a distinctive spot in the<br />
middle of the forewings.<br />
Newly-emerged females<br />
produce pheromones to attract<br />
male moths with feathery<br />
antennae adapted for sensing<br />
SELWYN TIMES<br />
DISTINCTIVE:<br />
The<br />
kawakawa<br />
looper moth<br />
varies in size,<br />
but often has<br />
a 30-55mm<br />
wingspan.<br />
these chemicals. Pale green<br />
cylindrical eggs are laid on<br />
leaves of host plants in clusters<br />
of three to 12. As well as<br />
kawakawa, other hosts include<br />
horopito, wineberry, ramarama<br />
and akeake.<br />
Young larvae are green but<br />
usually turn browner as they get<br />
older, reaching a length of up to<br />
40mm.<br />
The fully developed larvae<br />
then descend to the leaf litter on<br />
a silk thread and pupate close to<br />
the soil.<br />
Interestingly, herbalists like to<br />
use the holey kawakawa leaves<br />
rather than the undamaged<br />
ones, as the damage caused<br />
by the caterpillars stimulates<br />
the production of defensive<br />
chemicals that are beneficial for<br />
medical creams.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> Libraries Edge Connector<br />
service hits the road<br />
A new library service bringing popular programmes and resources to those who don’t have easy<br />
access to a library had its first outing last week.<br />
Residents of Castle Hill and Arthur’s Pass were the first to try out the Council’s new Edge<br />
Connector service in its specially kitted out vehicle.<br />
The service is designed to bring targeted library resources, programmes and services to communities,<br />
schools, pre-schools and community groups not within easy reach of one of the district’s four libraries.<br />
Its main focus is on communities 15 kilometres from a library.<br />
Community Services and Facilities group manager, Denise Kidd, says the service has been<br />
designed to be cost effective, efficient and flexible so it can bring things the whole community<br />
want, but would otherwise be difficult to access. “We want to make sure those communities<br />
across the district without easy access to a physical library have similar opportunities to others,<br />
whether that’s through education on our online resources or bringing a specific programme that<br />
caters to a group of residents of the particular community.”<br />
It is expected regular visits to communities such as Windwhistle, Springfield, Dunsandel,<br />
Southbridge, Hororata, Greendale, Glentunnel and Sheffield will begin in the next few weeks.<br />
Other visits are being planned as the service assesses the needs and interest levels in particular<br />
communities, and continues to work on logistics and opportunities.<br />
The Edge Connector is fitted with wifi, computers, a touch screen online catalogue, printer<br />
and scanner. It will bring a selection of books, magazines and DVDs along with tech kits that<br />
can include microscopes, telescopes, robotic kits and entry level VR equipment, which can be<br />
browsed or borrowed.<br />
It will also be able to carry resources such as a 3D printer and sewing machines to allow for<br />
specific programmes.<br />
The newly purchased vehicle has a focus on cost effectiveness and environmental sustainability<br />
with the electronics powered by two auxiliary batteries that charge while the van drives, or by a<br />
solar panel on the roof. It also has low energy LED lighting and furniture designed to maximise<br />
space, with reading spots for children and adults.<br />
Council supports <strong>Selwyn</strong> students to advance in life<br />
Council is offering scholarships for up to six senior local high school students to pursue their passion<br />
and aspirations beyond school.<br />
Applications for the tertiary scholarships have opened for year 12 and 13 students who live and study<br />
in <strong>Selwyn</strong> and are planning to undertake full-time post-secondary school education or training at a<br />
recognised New Zealand university, polytechnic or training institution next year.<br />
The scholarships of up to $3000 will be available for students from Darfield High School, Ellesmere<br />
College and Lincoln High School who have achieved outstanding success in academic, sports, cultural,<br />
arts, social responsibility or other areas. Those who have overcome barriers or hardships to achieve are<br />
also encouraged to apply.<br />
The scholarship provides payment towards fees and costs associated with the purchase of books and<br />
equipment required for their study or training.<br />
Council Community Services and Facilities Group Manager Denise Kidd says the scholarships are<br />
intended to help local young people pursue their dreams.<br />
“The Council recognises that it benefits all of us when we encourage the outstanding young people we<br />
have. These scholarships are not limited to academic achievements, but are open to supporting local<br />
senior students who have achieved success in sports, culture, arts pursuits or who have represented us<br />
well despite the obstacles in their way.”<br />
Applicants can include a statement of support from a teacher, school coach or other person who is<br />
relevant to their application such as a regional or national coach.<br />
Applications close at the end of September and shortlisted applicants will be interviewed as part of the<br />
selection process. Council will liaise directly with schools before making its final decision. Successful<br />
applicants are expected to be announced at the end of year school prize giving awards.<br />
To find out more about the scholarships, including application forms, students can visit selwyn.govt.nz/<br />

Community helps shape Kirwee<br />
Reserve extension<br />
A community-led project is helping to create an exciting new<br />
recreation and sports hub for the Kirwee area.<br />
Working alongside the Council, a community working party<br />
has been gathering ideas and input from residents, sports clubs<br />
and organisations to plan a major extension to the Kirwee<br />
Recreation Reserve.<br />
The project will add 6.5 hectares to the reserve, and provide space<br />
for additional sports fields, recreation areas and community facilities.<br />
Proposals include realigning one of the rugby fields, adding a<br />
second junior field and providing a second dedicated cricket oval.<br />
A new open space area will be set aside for off-leash dog exercise,<br />
along with walkways and fitness trails, a BMX/Pump track and<br />
informal play areas.<br />
A central community area will be developed with seating, picnic and<br />
barbeque areas, playground, a basketball half-court and amenities<br />
including public toilets. Additional car parking will be included.<br />
Council property and open space planner Derek Hayes says the<br />
proposed extension, guided by community input, aims to provide<br />
for both active and passive recreation, and will help meet growing<br />
demand for sports and community space.<br />
“The extension will be a huge asset to Kirwee, with additional<br />
sports capacity, recreation areas and facilities that will serve the<br />
community as a central hub now and into the future.”<br />
Residents are invited to view the plans and provide feedback<br />
throughout this month. A drop-in session will be held on Saturday<br />
24 <strong>August</strong>, at the Kirwee Reserve Pavilion. Residents can view the<br />
master plan and provide feedback at selwyn.govt.nz/kirweereserve.<br />
Feedback on the reserve extension closes at 5pm on<br />
Thursday 29 <strong>August</strong>.<br />

A round of employment speed dating has helped <strong>Selwyn</strong> teens with<br />
opportunities for work.<br />
The Council organised event at the end of June saw 29 year 12 and<br />
13 school leavers meet with 12 employers in a speed-dating style<br />
event, with Council staff matching up those who indicated interest<br />
in talking further.<br />
A month on its already opening doors for students and their parents.<br />
McClenaghan Contracting owner Hamish McClenaghan says the<br />
company was impressed by the calibre and motivation of the young<br />
people and had already given one teen a week’s work experience<br />
over the school holidays in their landscaping team.<br />
“The team really enjoyed working with him and said he had good<br />
aptitude. He sent us an email afterwards thanking us and he will<br />
probably be back next holidays for us.”<br />
They are hoping to take on two other students from the day for<br />
experience and had made an unexpected connection with a parent<br />
through the day, he says.<br />
“The mother of one of the students we interviewed now works with us<br />
two days a week. She came to talk to us and said from her daughter’s<br />
conversation we sounded like a great place to work. Her daughter is<br />
one we will probably try and get in over the holidays or summer, along<br />
with another student from out Darfield way.”<br />
Sicon Ltd has also been in touch with two students aiming to<br />
provide them with work experience over the summer.<br />

The Kugels play Klezmer<br />
Malvern residents have a unique<br />
opportunity to enjoy the unique sound of<br />
Klezmer music on Thursday, 29 <strong>August</strong>,<br />
when a Wellington band named The<br />
Kugels will perform at Trinity Church<br />
Darfield.<br />
‘If you have experienced “Fiddler on<br />
the Roof”, you have already had an<br />
introduction to the culture around<br />
Klezmer, the celebratory folk-music idiom<br />
of the Jewish people’, explains Philip<br />
Baldwin, Chair of the Malvern Community<br />
Arts Council. ‘Four prominent NZ soloists<br />
have a love for this music and play<br />
traditional Klezmer, along with original<br />
compositions by accordionist/NZ Arts<br />
Laureate Ross Harris.’<br />
The band features the highly expressive<br />
sounds of violin, clarinet, accordion and<br />
bass, supplemented by the multi-talented<br />
performance of Debbie Rawson who<br />
sometimes trades her clarinet for soprano<br />
sax, bass clarinet, or the Maui Xaphoon.<br />
Rounding out the band are fiddler<br />
Robin Perkins and bass player Jaqueline<br />
Norden.<br />
Klezmer originally grew out of music<br />
for Jewish celebrations, dances, and<br />
weddings. Samples of the Klezmer<br />
repertoire abound on Youtube.<br />
Sponsored by NZ Arts on Tour, The<br />
Kugels toured NZ to widespread acclaim<br />
in 2016, and are travelling again this year,<br />
demonstrating the huge appeal that<br />
Klezmer has for a variety of audiences. As<br />
part of the concert, the musicians provide<br />
commentary which is informative,<br />
entertaining, and engaging.<br />
The Kugels will share their passion and<br />
skill for this music at Trinity Church<br />
Darfield on Thursday, 29 <strong>August</strong> at<br />
7.00pm. Tickets — $20/adult and $10/<br />
student — are available at the <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
Gallery or at the door.

Wednesday <strong>August</strong> <strong>14</strong> <strong>2019</strong> 21<br />
Senior A<br />
Netball<br />
The Ellesmere College Senior A team are attending<br />
South Island Secondary Schools netball tournament<br />
which is being held in Nelson, 2-5 September. The<br />
tournament involves over 80 school teams and more<br />
than 1200 players, coaches, managers and umpires.<br />
Ellesmere College has competed in this event for<br />
many years now in B grade which is the middle pool<br />
of the competition. Previous teams have placed as<br />
high as 4th in B grade but to be able to move up<br />
you need to place in the top 3 of your grade. Last<br />
year was where the magic happened, we placed<br />
3rd overall in B grade which gained us the spot in<br />
A grade for the <strong>2019</strong> SISS tournament. This is the first<br />
time any Ellesmere team has been in A grade which<br />
is a huge achievement on its own.<br />
This year our team consists of young exciting<br />
talent as well as older more experienced players<br />
which we believe is a perfect make up of a team.<br />
Our Captain Janaya Clark, Vice-captain Emily<br />
Skilling, Emily Carter and Ione Dennis make up our<br />
leadership team. These girls are about to compete<br />
in their third SISS tournament which is something<br />
special in itself and for Janaya and Emily this is going<br />
to be their last. The experience and talent these<br />
players bring to court will be so important this year<br />
especially because we are leading such a young<br />
team. These four are fortunate to be joined by<br />
the exciting new talents of year 12 Merryn Wellby,<br />
year 11's Amber lemon, Lana McCartin and Emma<br />
Johnson and finally our year 10's Ella Gibson and<br />
Mikayla Lemon. The inclusion of these players into<br />
our team brings a whole new skill level and vibe to it<br />
which we all love being a part of.<br />
Playing in super reserve on a Wednesday allows<br />
our team to build together and make a connects<br />
on court weekly in the build up to the tournament.<br />
Week to week we see the improvements in our team<br />
as we are really starting to work together and form a<br />
unit which has actually resulted in us beating top of<br />
the table two weeks in a row.<br />
This year we are also so lucky to have the return of<br />
our amazing, knowledgeable, fun loving coach Jan<br />
Roberts. The knowledge, passion and determination<br />
Jan has for netball is amazing. The team are very<br />
fortunate to have Jan as their coach again this year.<br />
Joining Jan is Assistant coach, Anna McCormick.<br />
Anna was a member of the Ellesmere college senior<br />
A team for many years, captaining it in 2016 and<br />
being involved in the SISS tournament herself. Having<br />
someone who is experienced with the tournament<br />
as well as being extremely knowledgeable about<br />
netball will be a huge asset to the team. We are also<br />
fortunate to have the return of our super manager<br />
Susan Stewart who has been involved with this team<br />
for numerous years. Susan does an amazing job<br />
whether it is making sure we always have handy<br />
towels to wipe away the sweat, continuing to fill up<br />
the lolly bag, making sure we get to places on time,<br />
being our tournament mum and just being there to<br />
support us all. Maree Lemon will be accompanying<br />
the team as their umpire. The continuous support she<br />
shows towards our team is truly outstanding and we<br />
are so grateful. The amount of times she has helped<br />
us out by driving the van to and from our game as<br />
well as being the amazing umpire she is doesn't go<br />
unnoticed. Rounding off the support team is Sarah<br />
Anderson; our staff rep. Sarah has a love of netball<br />
and our team are very excited about her being able<br />
to come with us.<br />
Lastly, we need to say a massive thanks to our<br />
amazing sponsors. Travelling to tournament is a huge<br />
expense so your support is great appreciated.<br />

Super simple chicken curry<br />
Serves 4<br />
Prep time 5min<br />
Cooking time 30min<br />
Ingredients<br />
Low-calorie cooking spray<br />
1 large onion, sliced<br />
450g chicken breast (skin and<br />
visible fat removed), diced<br />
3 garlic cloves, crushed<br />
400ml water<br />
3 Tbsp curry powder<br />
1 Tbsp ground turmeric<br />
1 Tbsp tomato puree<br />
Sea salt and freshly ground black<br />
pepper<br />
To serve (optional)<br />
Samosas (see previous recipe)<br />
Cooked rice<br />

Spray a large frying pan with<br />
low-calorie cooking spray and<br />
place over a medium heat.<br />
Add the onion and cook for<br />
2min until softened slightly,<br />
then add the diced chicken to<br />
the pan and cook for 5min until<br />
browned.<br />
Add the garlic to the pan and<br />
cook for 1min, then add all the<br />
other ingredients. The water<br />
should just about cover the<br />
chicken – you may need a little<br />
more or less depending on the<br />
size of your pan.<br />
Leave to simmer gently for<br />
20min.<br />
Turn the heat up and boil the<br />
curry for another 5min, stirring<br />
frequently to ensure it doesn’t<br />

this will reduce and thicken the<br />
sauce slightly.<br />
Serve the curry with your<br />
choice of accompaniment.<br />
Tip: This curry recipe works<br />
well with lean diced lamb (all<br />
visible fat removed) too.<br />

High build quality for Toyota RAV4<br />
Motoring<br />
Ross Kiddie<br />
IT HAS TO be said – Toyota has<br />
really upped the ante with its new<br />
RAV4.<br />
I remember writing about the<br />
interior of the previous generation<br />
model, referencing the hard plastic<br />
trim and low grade materials<br />
which formed the cockpit.<br />
That has all changed, the new<br />
RAV4 is a quantum leap, premium<br />
linings have been used,<br />
soft-touch surfaces have been<br />
included, and the layout of the<br />
controls is comprehensive but<br />
simplistic to understand.<br />
All this from a model which<br />
isn’t graded as high-specification.<br />
This evaluation surrounds the<br />
GXL model which still gets cloth<br />
seat trim – yet I believe these are<br />
the seats for Christchurch. Every<br />
morning the RAV4 was in my<br />
care the temperature was below<br />
0 deg C and freezing. It was nice<br />
to get into the relative warmth of<br />
cloth as opposed to leather.<br />
The <strong>2019</strong> RAV4 lands in eight<br />
variants. I evaluated the rangetopping<br />
hybrid in July, and<br />
reported that it was the most<br />
sensible model in the series. However,<br />
there are petrol-only models<br />
for those who don’t want to go<br />
down the hybrid road. There are<br />
three models with 2-litre engines<br />
driving through the front wheels<br />
only, and two 2.5-litre all-wheeldrive<br />
variants – the GXL and<br />
Adventure.<br />
The GXL 4WD lands at $41,990<br />
($48,990 Adventure), which to<br />
me represents good buying and,<br />
as my introduction suggested, it<br />
is now a car which borders on the<br />
luxury car class such is its build<br />
quality and drive comfort.<br />
A lot of the latter has to do with<br />
a brand new platform, the RAV4<br />
is totally fresh from the ground<br />
up, and it’s something Toyota has<br />
put a big effort into. Well, when<br />
the car you are marketing sits<br />
in the one of the busiest market<br />
segments, then it has to be good<br />
to compete.<br />
Yes, the mid-size sport utility<br />
market is crowded, but the RAV4<br />
has a healthy reputation and solid<br />
grounding.<br />
Under the bonnet sits a revised<br />
version of the four-cylinder<br />
2487cc engine that has served<br />
Toyota well for several years.<br />
While its basic construction<br />
hasn’t changed a lot, it has been<br />
refined for higher power outputs<br />
and greater efficiency. Toyota rate<br />
it with 152kW and 243Nm, both<br />
outputs peaky at 6600rpm and<br />
4000-5000rpm respectively.<br />
TOYOTA RAV4 GXL: Significant off-road capability.<br />
That matters little, the specific to be honest, I felt it a little unnecessary,<br />
but it’s there for when<br />
outputs are high enough to provide<br />
solid performance, an 8.5sec maximum performance is needed<br />
standstill to 100km/h time can be and/or that quick hill burst over to<br />
expected, along with a highway the peninsula bays.<br />
overtake of 5sec (80-120km/h), Interestingly, the 2.5-litre<br />
and there are drive modes which engine is coupled to a traditional<br />
you can choose from to suit every six-speed automatic transmission;<br />
driving journey – normal, sport or there are no surprises there,<br />
economical.<br />
but I’ve mentioned it because<br />
When in the latter, there’s a the 2-litre variant utilises a<br />
good chance you could meet continuously variable automatic.<br />
Toyota’s combined cycle fuel usage<br />
claim of 6.7-litres per 100km 2.5 has smooth shifts and can be<br />
The conventional gearbox on the<br />
(42mpg). During my testing time manipulated through a sequential<br />
the average readout was listing shifting system at the main<br />
at around 9l/100km (32mpg) gearshift lever.<br />
with 6l/100km (47mpg) available<br />
instantaneously at 100km/h, certainly excels. and that is a trib-<br />
In terms of handling, the RAV4<br />
the engine just loping over at ute to the way the new platform<br />
1600rpm.<br />
is designed. It is a true driver’s car<br />
Even in normal mode the engine with solid turn-in and fabulous<br />
feels free and lively, there’s a lot of suspension control. The fullyindependent<br />
front-strut/rear-<br />
reciprocating mass, but it is smooth<br />
in its delivery and responsive to wishbone system has spring and<br />
throttle request. In sport mode damper rates beautifully compromised<br />
between handling there is a constant eagerness and,<br />

• Price – Toyota RAV4 GXL,<br />
$41,990<br />
• Dimensions – Length,<br />
4600mm; width, 1855mm;<br />
height, 1685mm<br />
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,<br />
four-wheel-drive,<br />
2487cc, 152kW, 243Nm,<br />
six-speed automatic.<br />
• Performance –<br />
0-100km/h, 8.5sec<br />
• Fuel usage – 6.7l/100km<br />
comfort. Sure, at almost 1.7m tall<br />
the body does have some gravitational<br />
movement, but it is well<br />
arrested and handling balance is<br />
unaffected.<br />
Bear in mind too, the fourwheel-drive<br />
RAV has several offroad<br />
drive modes which provide<br />
the model with serious off-road<br />
potential.<br />
As much as I enjoyed the GXL’s<br />
traditional driveline, I’m sticking<br />
by my comment that the hybrid<br />
is the pick of the range and would<br />
certainly be my choice.<br />
Yet, I’m fully aware that RAV4<br />
buyers want just that little point<br />
of difference to other SUV owners<br />
and, I guess, that’s what Toyota<br />
was thinking of when it included<br />
an Adventure model into the<br />
range. It has body kits and an<br />
interior colour contrasts which<br />
are vivid and striking.<br />
I’m due to evaluate it soon and<br />
from what I’m hearing it is the<br />
go-to model. Just as well, then,<br />
Toyota has a RAV4 for all tastes.

Quality parts can mean safer driving<br />
There is a plethora of motor vehicle parts<br />
and brands available on the market yet not<br />
all are equal. The same is true for vehicle<br />
servicing.<br />
Simon Wilson, owner Rolleston Diesel &<br />
Petrols reminds that an oil change is not a<br />
full vehicle service.<br />
“Some people don’t realise cheaper<br />
service centres sometimes carry out cheap<br />
servicing jobs. What you think you’re<br />
getting in a service may be nowhere near<br />
what your vehicle actually receives. It<br />
could be as brief as a 15 minute check<br />
over, which can affect the manufacturer’s<br />
warranty so be clear about what you want<br />
for your vehicle,” says Simon.<br />
Simon, Hayden and Allen at Rolleston<br />
Diesel & Petrols are all fully qualified<br />
automotive technicians. They are always<br />
happy to check your vehicle where you<br />
have a concern. When they carry out<br />
a service they thoroughly inspect your<br />
vehicle’s brakes, suspension and steering,<br />
leaving you more confident about your<br />
vehicle’s roadworthiness.<br />
Also important is choosing quality filters<br />
and recognised brands with a reputation<br />
for reliability.<br />
“Choosing quality parts goes a long way<br />
towards safe motoring. You don’t want<br />
someone close to you driving around in a<br />
vehicle fitted with cheap parts which might<br />
fail,” adds Simon.<br />
The expression ‘you get what you pay<br />
for’ is equally true when it comes to motor<br />
vehicle servicing and repairs. Simon<br />
says it is simply not worth scrimping on<br />
cheap parts, which may not last as long or<br />
offer the same level of confidence for safe<br />
motoring.<br />
Regular servicing carried out by<br />
competent specialist automotive repairers<br />
is a must for all types of vehicles from<br />
older to new models. If this is carried<br />
out every 5,000-10,000 kilometres, it will<br />
help extend the life of a vehicle and go a<br />
long way towards hassle-free motoring. In<br />
wintertime, a vehicle’s battery is also under<br />
more strain and the windscreen wipers<br />
generally operate more so these should be<br />
checked too.<br />
Rolleston Diesel & Petrols has a fully<br />
equipped modern workshop, fitted with<br />
sophisticated diagnostic equipment.<br />
They service and repair personal and<br />
commercial vehicles, from cars, utes, and<br />
4WDs, through to vans, light commercials<br />
(up to 12 tons), motorhomes, buses<br />
or motorcycles, jet skis, boats, ride-on<br />
lawnmowers and even horse floats.<br />
Simon insists on using only original<br />
manufactured equipment parts, reliable<br />
quality components and high quality<br />
lubricants, and they do not skimp when it<br />
comes to a vehicle’s service.<br />
As well as being accredited to carry out<br />
warrant of fitness checks, Rolleston Diesel<br />
& Petrols is a member<br />
of the Motor Trade<br />
Association.<br />
This is a locally owned<br />
and operated business,<br />

West Melton Country Fete<br />
In April the West Melton Country Fete was attended by over 5000 people from across the district.<br />
The Fete hosted two international food courts, over 100 stalls, a large kids entertainment area<br />
and all of the great fun you’d expect at a local fete like ‘dunk the teacher’ and a petting zoo.<br />
Run by the Friends of West Melton<br />
School (FoWMS) the Fete was generously<br />
supported by a number of local companies,<br />
of note were Gold Sponsors McLenaghan<br />
Contracting, Ray White West Melton<br />
and Your Section / Wilfield. Through this<br />
amazing support and a lot of hard work<br />
FoWMS were able to raise a massive $40,000<br />
they could use towards school upgrades not<br />
funded by the Ministry of Education.<br />
During the July school holidays two<br />
outdoor areas were upgraded, the first<br />
project created an outdoor classroom space<br />
with decking and seating outside the Ti<br />
Kouka Block. The work was undertaken by<br />
Chris Fifield Building Ltd – a local builder<br />
whose three children attend the school.<br />
The second project was an extension of<br />
the playground area previously built using<br />
funds from the 2017 Fete. This extension<br />
includes a slide, tussock garden and wooden<br />
amphitheatre that can be used as an outdoor<br />
learning space.<br />
This project was undertaken by local<br />
company McLenaghan Contracting who<br />
have supported the school in numerous<br />
ways for over 30 years. Andy and Carol<br />
who founded the company in 1989, sent<br />
all four of their children Jeremy, Hamish,<br />
Simon, and Kylie to West Melton School.<br />
Now Kylie’s daughter Amelia has joined the<br />
school – her first day at the start of Term 3<br />
this year.<br />
Both contractors went above and beyond<br />
expectations, using their skills and resources<br />
to make the outcomes more incredible than<br />
imagined. FoWMS wish to thank everyone<br />
who attended or sponsored the Fete and<br />
look forward to seeing the community use<br />
these new spaces for years to come.<br />

Seeing stars at West<br />
Melton’s observatory<br />
Stargazing has been a fascination for<br />
humans since time began. For centuries,<br />
stars guided sailors to their destination,<br />
and they were also used to create early<br />
calendars. But it wasn’t until the early 17th<br />
century, with the invention of the telescope<br />
by Dutchman Hans Lippershey, that stars<br />
could be observed more closely than just<br />
with the naked eye.<br />
As telescopes improved, astronomers<br />
were able to explore further into the<br />
depths of space, until today, when highly<br />
sophisticated telescopes allow us to see<br />
not just the Milky Way, but many more of<br />
the billions of galaxies that make up the<br />
Universe.<br />
For local stargazers, the Canterbury<br />
Astronomical Society’s RF Joyce<br />
Observatory in West Melton offers the<br />
opportunity to observe the wonders of<br />
the night sky every Friday night from the<br />
end of April through to mid-September.<br />
The observatory is equipped with five<br />
fixed telescopes and a number of portable<br />
telescopes, and the dark site has the benefit<br />
of minimal light pollution, which is<br />
supported by the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District Council’s<br />
light pollution control policy.<br />
Doors open at 7.30pm and the<br />
evening starts with a brief talk about the<br />
observatory and its history, followed by a<br />
description of what people are likely to see<br />
that night, and a health and safety briefing.<br />
“We usually get 80 to 90 people coming<br />
each time,” says CAS membership<br />
secretary Simon Lewis. “Tickets can<br />
be purchased through the Eventbrite<br />
website.”<br />
The Canterbury Astronomical Society<br />
(CAS) is a charitable organisation and<br />
funds raised through these evenings are<br />
used to run the observatory.<br />
CAS has a strong relationship with<br />
Canterbury University and organises<br />
lectures on the third Tuesday of the month<br />
at the university.<br />
“These are free and open to the public<br />
and cover a range of academic and<br />
scientific topics,” Simon says.<br />
The society also has a relationship with<br />
NASA, which brings its Stratospheric<br />
Observatory for Infrared Astronomy,<br />
SOFIA, a Boeing 747 aircraft, to<br />
Christchurch every year to observe celestial<br />
bodies in the Southern hemisphere. During<br />
its stay, the public have the opportunity to<br />
go on board and see the infrared camera<br />
and other equipment.<br />
CAS welcomes new members and<br />
offers a range of activities including<br />
an education programme, monthly<br />
members’nights and social events. For<br />

Leggett says. “It is really great that people<br />
are supporting not just us, but all the<br />
shops in West Melton”.<br />
Having a close relationship with the<br />
Doctors next door is really important. It<br />
allows effective communication if any<br />
issues arise that may impact the patient.<br />
The team at the Pharmacy can nip in<br />
to talk to the Doctors if there are any<br />
questions, and they regularly talk to run<br />
ideas past each other and to clarify any<br />
queries that come up.<br />
Experienced Pharmacists are always<br />
happy to help with any difficult or<br />

12/736 Weedons Ross Road, West Melton<br />
Phone 03 347 0777<br />
come on in and chat to Chris or Natalie.<br />
They have seen a lot over the years in<br />
pharmacy, and will strive to find the<br />
answers for your concerns.<br />
The Pharmacy is also pleased to have<br />
Pharmacy Technician Aarzou Turkmani<br />
join the team. She has worked at several<br />
Pharmacies in Christchurch. She currently<br />
works at West Melton, and also during the<br />
week at Templeton and Aranui.<br />
At this time of year, getting through the<br />
colder winter months may seem like<br />
the only thing on people’s minds, but<br />
keeping well can mean lots of things for<br />
different people. “We have already seen<br />
a few people in suffering from allergies,<br />
and I’ve noticed on my car a thin film of<br />
pollen” Chris says. The pharmacy always<br />
has a wide range of products designed<br />
to help in all four seasons, as well as a<br />
large gift range to suit different tastes<br />
and budgets. Jo has ordered in a large<br />
exciting range of gifts leading into<br />
Christmas, and this will start to arrive<br />
soon. Be quick, they usually fly out the<br />
door<br />
The team at West Melton are experts in<br />
not only your Pharmacy needs, but also<br />
can help you with sending parcels over<br />
NZ and the world. They can also get you a<br />
passport photo for almost any country in<br />
the world.<br />

SELWYN TIMES<br />
Time to plan your vegetable garden<br />
AUGUST IS possibly one of<br />
the most difficult months in the<br />
home garden – the weather is still<br />
very cold with blustery winds and<br />
soils are very wet.<br />
However, it’s an ideal time for<br />
completing planting of deciduous<br />
ornamental and fruit trees, and<br />
on a positive note, plan your new<br />
vegetable garden.<br />
Vegetable garden<br />
Continue harvesting winter<br />
maturing vegetables and where<br />
soil conditions allow i.e. not too<br />
wet and the tilth (texture of the<br />
soil) is friable (easily crumbled),<br />
you can sow seeds of beetroot,<br />
carrots, onion, peas, radish and<br />
spinach.<br />
Start cultivating soil in preparation<br />
for early spring plantings<br />
by ‘chopping up’ and digging in<br />
green manure crops you sowed<br />
in early autumn such as lupins, to<br />
improve the organic matter.<br />
Raise the level of new vegetable<br />
gardens 100-120mm above the<br />
existing ground level as drainage<br />
will be improved and soil temperatures<br />
will rise quicker in early<br />
spring.<br />
Flowering annuals<br />
Winter flowering annuals<br />
should still be blooming beautifully,<br />
especially cineraria’s that<br />
are at their best in late winter/<br />
early spring. Where new plantings<br />
are required, plant ‘potted’<br />
colour. Try alyssum, calendulas,<br />
cornflowers, larkspur, lobelia,<br />
pansies, snapdragons, stock and<br />
wallflowers.<br />
Fruit trees<br />
It’s cropping time for many<br />
citrus, mandarins, lemons, limes,<br />
navel oranges and grapefruit.<br />
Seminole tangelos that appear<br />
ripe on trees are not sweet<br />
enough to eat until October/November.<br />
Pip and stone fruit trees benefit<br />
from a final copper oxychloride<br />
spray so they are in a healthy state<br />
for the new growing season. Remove<br />
all pruning’s and old leaves<br />
from the home orchard.<br />
Feijoas can now be pruned<br />
as they often flower early in<br />
spring, and thin out thick tangelo<br />
growth to allow light to penetrate<br />
through the plant, increasing fruit<br />
production.<br />
Strawberries<br />
Have already commenced<br />
actual growth, remove all old and<br />
diseased leaves. In warmer areas,<br />
flowers will appear very early. Ideally,<br />
remove all flowers at least for<br />
JUICY: If your<br />
garden has<br />
citrus, now is<br />
the time to crop<br />
back the fruit.<br />
another month as they will not<br />
form edible, healthy strawberries<br />
until well into spring.<br />
Roses<br />
While the plants are dormant<br />
apply a copper oxychloride and/<br />
or horticultural oil spray to<br />
‘clean up’ any overwatering pests<br />
or diseases. Be meticulous in<br />
removing all old leaves and pruning’s<br />
which should be burned or<br />
disposed of off the property. Add<br />
compost around existing plants to<br />
greatly benefit spring growth next<br />
month. Apply fertiliser around<br />
late September/early October.<br />
Lawns<br />
In most parts of New Zealand,<br />
there is little significant grass<br />
growth in <strong>August</strong>, however, it is<br />
just around the corner. Use this<br />
time to deal with problem areas<br />
in the lawn where it is not too<br />
wet. Installing drainage coil in<br />
wet parts of a lawn can make a<br />
significant difference for next<br />
winter.<br />
Ornamental trees and<br />
shrubs<br />
Site preparation is critical<br />
before planting. Do not plant in<br />
areas that are extremely wet unless<br />
you are planting specimens<br />
that specifically grow in wet soils<br />
e.g. swamp cypress, kahikatea.<br />
Add compost to all planting sites<br />
and cultivate thoroughly prior to<br />
planting. Allow sufficient space<br />
between new trees and shrubs for<br />
their full development.<br />
Container gardens<br />
With careful planting and planning,<br />
containers should continue<br />
to provide colour and interest<br />
throughout <strong>August</strong>. Replant<br />
where necessary with ‘potted<br />
colour’. Before planting new flowering<br />
annuals in spring, empty<br />
the containers, thoroughly check<br />
that drainage holes are adequate,<br />
clean carefully and fill with new<br />
container mix.<br />

Urszula was the standout agent of the three<br />
I met when considering selling my home.<br />
That said, she impressed me much more than<br />
I was expecting during the campaign, often doing so<br />
much more to assist me than I asked. There was<br />
never a point at which I felt pressured into changing my<br />
expectations and never had the impression that Urszula<br />
was commission focused or looking for a quick sale. In<br />
short, I believe Urszula had my best interests at heart and<br />
I guarantee that when I next come to selling or buying a<br />
home there will be no other agent<br />
I’ll consider. When you have tried the best,<br />
why employ the rest!<br />

Your guide to all things Real Estate<br />
in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District<br />
Identifying the square metre rate<br />
17<br />
The square metre rate (sqm) is the<br />
average cost of building each square metre<br />
of a house; calculated by dividing the total<br />
build price by the home’s total square<br />
metres.<br />
Sqm rates are not standard across<br />
all parts of a house with building costs<br />
varying between rooms. Garages cost<br />
considerably less than utility rooms like<br />
kitchens, bathrooms, and laundries so<br />
choosing high quality appliances and more<br />
features can ratchet up the build price.<br />
The cladding chosen is also relevant. A<br />
quoted sqm figure is likely based on brick<br />
veneer, the cheapest form of cladding,<br />
followed by plaster finish then cedar.<br />
Building a smaller house does not<br />
necessarily translate to a lower sqm rate.<br />
Certain costs are incurred regardless of the<br />
size of home. You still need an electrical<br />
switchboard and the same number of<br />
building inspections. The cost of drainage,<br />
hot water cylinder, garage door, and<br />
telephone and electricity connections will<br />
not differ significantly between larger and<br />
smaller houses. Building consent fees do<br />
vary with the size of house.<br />
Sqm figures are therefore guides,<br />
influenced by the features specified and<br />
type of build. The standard sqm figure<br />
quoted by a building company is generally<br />
based on construction of a standard<br />
house on a fully serviced section, on good<br />
ground.<br />
Ground conditions determine the<br />
type and cost of foundations. If building<br />
on TC1 land the foundations are more<br />
affordable than on TC3 land. Ease of<br />
connection of services like electricity and<br />
the internet are also a factor. For example,<br />
the distance from house to roadside is<br />
usually further on a lifestyle property.<br />
When a housing company quotes a<br />
square metre rate, it will likely refer to<br />
building the actual house, not external<br />
landscaping or other features.<br />
Some building companies offer turnkey<br />
packages where the build price<br />
incorporates an allowance for fences,<br />
driveways, paths, letterbox, some soft<br />
landscaping, and maybe a clothesline. You<br />
will want to ascertain what you will get for<br />
your money.<br />
A building company’s lowest sqm<br />
rate is likely (though not always) based<br />
on a standard stud and internal door<br />
height, and flat ceilings. Deviations like<br />
opting for over height doors or higher<br />
ceilings are usually extras with the build<br />
price increasing. Be aware of sales patter<br />
encouraging adding non-essential features<br />
you may not really want, and which might<br />
exceed your budget.<br />
The features incorporated into a new<br />
home impact on the sqm build price, a<br />
figure which can range from $1,600 per<br />
sqm for a standard house to over $3,000<br />
per sqm for an architecturally designed<br />
home.<br />
When visiting show homes, determine<br />
each company’s sqm rate and add-on<br />
features incorporated, for the home on<br />
view. Ask what is standard for each level<br />
within their range of builds. The figures<br />
will vary substantially between homes and<br />
companies. Gather plenty of information<br />
to gain an appreciation of what a quoted<br />
sqm figures represents.<br />

REA - How property buyers<br />
can spot a healthy home<br />
Purchasing a house that’s warm and dry is a<br />
priority for many property hunters, but how<br />
can buyers identify a ‘healthy’ home?<br />
Real Estate Authority (REA) chief executive<br />
Kevin Lampen-Smith says there are a<br />
handful of key traits to watch out for.<br />
“A house that’s hard to heat can make you<br />
sick and miserable. In many cases, the key is<br />
good insulation,” Lampen-Smith says.<br />
The World Health Organisation recommends<br />
a minimum of 18 degrees in our<br />
homes. Insulation is<br />
often the most practical<br />
and cost-effective way<br />
to make a house more<br />
energy efficient. An insulated<br />
home is warmer<br />
in winter and cooler<br />
in summer, which can<br />
provide health benefits<br />
like reducing mould and<br />
damp.<br />
“Ask the agent or seller<br />
if the property is insulated,<br />
the type of insulation<br />
used and when it was installed. Ask your<br />
building inspector to check the state of the<br />
insulation,” Lampen-Smith suggests.<br />
Lampen-Smith explains insulation should<br />
be replaced or topped up if it’s less than<br />
12cm thick, doesn’t cover the whole ceiling,<br />
has become wet or damp, or been damaged<br />
by rodents or birds.<br />
“If a property you’re looking at isn’t insulated,<br />
it’s a good idea to budget for the cost<br />
of doing the work, as your health (and your<br />
wallet) will thank you in the long term.”<br />
There’s support available for some buyers,<br />
such as a Warmer Kiwi Homes insulation<br />
grant. Some local councils also allow property<br />
owner to add the cost of insulation to their<br />
rates and pay this back over time.<br />
When working to identify a healthy home,<br />
Lampen-Smith says it’s important to watch<br />
out for dampness. Signs of dampness include<br />
musty smells, damp or mouldy wardrobe<br />
contents, mould forming behind paintings<br />
or furniture, or mould or watermarks on<br />
ceilings or walls.<br />
“Condensation on windows, especially in<br />
bedrooms, isn’t necessarily a sign of excessive<br />
dampness if it only happens occasionally<br />
during winter,” Lampen-Smith explains.<br />
Ideally, the house will<br />
have extractor fans in<br />
the bathroom, kitchen<br />
and laundry that are<br />
vented outside. Fans<br />
should not be vented<br />
into the roof space.<br />
Good curtains can<br />
also help a house retain<br />
warmth.<br />
“It’s important to<br />
note that curtains aren’t<br />
necessarily included in<br />
the sale of the house, so<br />
ask about this and if the answer is yes, ensure<br />
they’re included in the list of chattels in<br />
the sale and purchase agreement,” Lampen-Smith<br />
says.<br />
According to EECA, good curtains should<br />
be floor-length and fit tightly against the wall<br />
or window frame. Sill-length curtains are<br />
ineffective. Curtains should be wider than<br />
the window frame and preferably be double<br />
layered with a thick lining. If the property<br />
has ineffective curtains, or does not come<br />
with curtains, buyers should factor this cost<br />
into their budget.<br />
