$9000 

pay 

increase 

for mayor 

• By Devon Bolger 

MAYOR SAM Broughton has 

received a pay increase of just over 

$9000. 

He now gets $136,500, a seven 

per cent increase 

on his 

previous salary 

of $127,364. 

It comes 

on the back 

of increases 

for district 

councillors 

after the recent 

Sam Broughton 

local body 

elections. 

But unlike district councillors, 

whose increases were set by 

themselves from a pool of money, 

Mr Broughton’s increase was 

determined by the Renumeration 

Authority, an independent body 

which sets the salaries of key office 

holders. 

“Population is one factor the authority 

uses to set the salary, along 

with asset size and deprivation,” 

he said. 

Mr Broughton said growth in 

the district does have an impact 

on his workload.

I DETOURED to the Lincoln farmers’ 

market on Saturday with our ageing but 

still relatively active lab. 

The royal visit had been kept quiet, but 

the crowd, many with their dogs, indicated 

the cat was already out of the bag. 

I found a spot where I might get a decent look at Charles and 

Camilla. Then the girl spotted a german shepherd, a sight she 

is wary of, and let out a ‘stay away’ warning. It didn’t go unnoticed. 

I moved to another spot, but the pastry table was within paw 

shot. 

Then a James Bond-looking royal security man accidentally 

stepped on the girl’s foot. “I’m so sorry, is she okay? I have one 

like her,” he said apologetically. 

She was fine but clearly it was time to go home.

LINCOLN 

Hotel fundraiser 

puts Leroy’s beard in jeopardy 

In Brief 

Christmas 

Gift Idea! 

www.selwynsounds.co.nz 


LEROY BROWN’S beard is very 

much an institution at a certain 

drinking establishment in the district. 

But it could change very soon. 

Mr Brown, a staff member at the 

The Famous Grouse in Lincoln, is trying 

to help raise $5000 as part of the 

Movember campaign. About $2500 

has been raised so far. 

If that target is met, his beard of three 

years will come off. 

It has taken a little while, 

but as a potential D-Day 

looms, it is starting to sink 

in he may lose it. 

“I am actually a little 

frightened to see my own 

face to be quite honest. I 

haven’t seen my neck in 

about three years and I’m 

not sure how many chins 

I’ve got under there,” said Mr Brown. 

Movember, the annual men’s health 

fundraiser, was worth it. 

“It’s always been a good cause to get 

behind and I thought well if my involvement 

can help raise more money 

then why not?,” he said. 

Mr Brown said he has received a lot 

of support from the community since 

the fundraising campaign began. 

“I get asked about it every day. I 

think it is good because it’s a big push 

‘I haven’t seen 

my neck in 

about three 

years and I’m 

not sure how 

many chins I’ve 

got under there’ 

– Leroy Brown 

• You can donate to The Famous 

Grouse Hotel’s Movember 

movement in-house or 

online at nz.movember.com/ 

mospace/14036180 

for the whole Movember thing you 

know and they don’t just ask about the 

beard they ask about how the fundraising 

is going and how everything is 

panning out. 

“It just keeps that conversation 

going and I think 

that’s what it is all about. 

“I feel like it is just a 

great thing to be a part of 

and really important to get 

behind.” 

The Movember campaign 

is an international 

movement that focuses on 

men’s health issues such as suicide, 

anxiety, prostate and testicular 

cancers. By 2030, it aims to reduce the 

number of men dying prematurely by 

25 per cent.

PLAQUES REPLACED 

More than 40 stolen plaques have 

been replaced on the graves of 

veterans in Springston Cemetery. 

About 180 people were at the 

cemetery on Saturday for the 

unveiling of the 46 new plaques. 

They were stolen between late April 

and May this year. The plaques 

were replaced by Veterans’ Affairs. 

INDOOR COURTS UNDER WAY 

Work has officially begun 

on the building of the Foster 

Park indoor courts. An official 

groundbreaking ceremony was 

held last Wednesday. The $21.5 

million building is expected to be 

ready for the winter sport season 

in 2021. The facility includes 

eight courts and a 240m indoor 

walking track. 

PREBBLETON PLANS 

Residents are being asked to have 

their say on the plans for a new 

reserve development in Prebbleton. 

Last year the district council carried 

out community consultation and a 

concept design has been completed. 

Plans include an off-leash dog area 

and a bike track. Consultation on 

this part of the project closes on 

December 13. Go to https://yoursay.

“As the number of people a

the complexity of representation 

and responsibility to carefully ensure 

that public money is applied 

well by the council.” 

The authority sets the salary 

of mayors based on independent

council. 

The base salary for councillors 

is now $42,789, up from $39,089

A new salary of $51,342 was

That is an increase of $6770 from

Nora Guise’s

0800 ACLAND 

Canterbury’s fastest selling 

new subdivision 

chance for a cure begins 


SIX-YEAR-OLD Nora Guise has 

begun the treatment that will 

potentially save her life. 

The Rolleston girl was 

diagnosed with Hepatoblastoma, 

a rare cancer of the liver, that was 

also found to be in her lungs. 

She exhausted all of the 

curative treatments available in 

New Zealand but was accepted 

into a CAR-T cell trial in the 

United States that could be her 

last chance fo a cure. 

She is recovering after the 

cells were implanted at Texas 

Children’s Hospital last week. 

THey were made from Nora’s 

blood that was taken during her 

first trip to the United States last 

month. 

Her mother, Elyse Guise, said 

Nora is doing very well and there 

have been no side effects since 

the cells went in. 

“My heart was beating quite fast 

and my hands were shaking as 

the infusion happened. It was all 

just fear of the unknown. This 

has now disappeared and I feel a 

huge relief,” she said. 

The family has raised the 

$210,000 needed for the 

treatment, with help from 

Clearview School and the 

community. 

Mrs Guise said they are truly 

grateful and humbled. 

The treatment works by 

starting with lymphodepleting 

chemotherapy which lowers the 

white blood cell count. 

When the T cells are inserted 

they attack the cancer cells and 

boost the white cell count back 

up. 

The family will stay in Houston 

until December 11 while 

Nora has weekly appointments at 

the hospital. 

“We have to still be cautious

Hospital 

where she is 

undergoing 

potentially 

life-saving 

treatment. 

of any complications. A fever or 

illness would mean a trip to the 

emergency room,” Mrs Guise said. 

Nora has gone through nine 

rounds of chemotherapy and 

three surgeries which included 

removing 60 per cent of her liver, 

her gallbladder and half of one 

lung. 

The chemotherapy has caused 

permanent 

hearing loss 

and impacted 

her ability to 

hear highfrequency 

sounds to 

the point she 

must wear 

hearing aids. 

“Nora can’t 

hear things 

Nora Guise like birds and 

whistles. She 

struggles day to day with S and P 

and F sounds unless she has her 

hearing aids,” said Mrs Guise. 

Nora’s liver remains cancerfree 

but the disease in her lungs 

is proving to be stubborn. 

She has now exhausted all of 

the curative treatments available 

in New Zealand but has been 

accepted into a CAR-T cell trial 

in Texas which is her last chance 

for a cure. 

It was found the likely cause of 

Nora’s cancer was a TP53 gene 

mutation. 

This now makes her 

susceptible to a large number of 

cancers at a much higher risk.

Royal visit 

Lincoln’s worst kept secret: Royals 

FOUR MONTHS ago Gary 

Miller was told VIPs would 

attend the Lincoln Farmers and 

Craft Market on Saturday. 

Who they were was a mystery. 

In September Mr Miller, who 

is chairman of the market, was 

told by authorities it was Prince 

Charles and Duchess Camilla 

but it still had to be kept under 

wraps. 

But it appears many people in 

Lincoln knew exactly who was 

going to turn up – the market was 

crowded on Saturday morning 

and most were there to see the 

Royals. 

The royal couple were greeted 

at the market by Mayor Sam 

Broughton, his wife Liz and their 

daughter Elliott. 

It was a once in a lifetime 

experience for the Lincoln Girl 

Guides who got to meet the 

royals. 

There were seven girls and 

four leaders at the market 

when Prince Charles and 

Duchess Camilla showed up on 

Saturday. 

Member Stacey Skill said the 

girls were quite excited once they 

found out they were there. 

“They had lots of questions 

about royal etiquette and were 

quite excited about being able to 

meet them and shake their hands 

and afterwards they said that 

Prince Charles had a very firm 

handshake,” she said. 

Mr Miller said it was a great 

day and fantastic to see the big 

crowd that turned out to meet 

the Prince and Duchess of Cornwall. 

Just after the Royals arrived 

a nearby fire station’s siren was 

activated. But there was nothing 

to be alarmed about. 

Lincoln chief fire officer Jeremy 

Greenwood said the brigade was 

responding to a vehicle crash in 

Little River. 

COMMUNITY: A big crowd attended the Lincoln Farmers and 

Craft Market on Saturday, Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla 

paid a surprise visit. Shelley Bakker’s Recycle Recreate stall was 

one of the many they stopped at.

Residents reject Wards Rd report 


A DARFIELD resident battling 

the district council over the road 

he lives on says a report into 

potholes is misleading. 

Grant Prescott represents 14 

residents on Wards Rd, who have 

been lobbying for the road to be 

sealed. 

They say it is in poor condition. 

But a district council report 

into the road says its condition 

is “average” and there were no 

potholes. 

Mr Prescott says that statement 

and data is “misleading” 

and “incorrect.” 

“I am absolutely shocked and 

appalled at the comments in it. It 

appears to be a selective partial 

report which is abhorrent,” he 

said. 

“The report says there are no 

potholes, this is absolute rubbish. 

I have just walked past 2144 

Wards Rd and we have a line of 

potholes approximately 25m in 

length, one after another.” 

Selwyn Times asked the district 

council to respond to Mr 

Prescott’s claims. 

Team leader transportation 

Mark Chamberlain said the information 

in the report was from 

an assessment that was carried 

out by an experienced contractor 

in September. 

“On the day he assessed the 

road he did not note any potholes. 

On another day there may 

have been potholes, because of 

the changing of the condition 

REJECT: A soak hole Mr Prescott says is placed incorrectly and 

dangerous. 

of unsealed roads, which is why 

we encourage people to let the 

council know about potholes 

when they appear so we can get 

them fixed,” he said. 

Mr Prescott said there was also 

no mention in the report of what 

he says are dangerous soak holes. 

Mr Chamberlain said they 

are aware of the soak holes 

positioned at the edge of the 

carriageway and will work with 

the contractor to have new ones 

located further away. 

Mr Prescott said he also takes 

issue with the traffic counts in 

the report. 

“They say 79 vehicles used the 

road in March this year. I can 

prove this is complete and utter 

rubbish as we have a minimum 

of 40 residential movements a 

day, and that is just residents.” 

Mr Prescott has laid a formal 

complaint with the district council 

over the report. 

He says if no resolution is 

reached he will be contacting the 

Ombudsman. 

$1.2 million cost to strengthen Leeston building 


SEISMIC strengthening and

Leeston Library and 

Medical Centre is expected to 

cost $1.2 million. 

A recent engineering report has 

shown parts of the building are 

below 34 per cent of the required 

standards of the building code.

the engineering report was done 

as part of the process of replacing/ 

renewing the roof of the building. 

The work has now been 

brought forward to the 2020/21

Your First Choice for delivering outstanding service to 

our customers and community through highly valued and skilled staff 

Markham Junction in Rolleston and the 

Torlesse Estate in Darfield are two of the 

recent civil contracting projects taken on 

by Ashburton Contracting Limited. Above 

from left: Greg Strowger (Construction 

Manager) and Steve Adam (Civil Operations 

& Business Development Manager). 

“There are no hidden 

costs and all their 

staff take personal 

ownership and pride 

in what they do.” 

asy to deal with’ and ‘nothing is too much 

‘Etrouble’ is just a couple of comments from 

clients of Ashburton Contracting Limited (ACL). 

Mr JP Singh, developer of the Tennyson Street 

Markham Junction development, says ACL is a 

highly professional company with an excellent 

combination of people who have the right skills 

and work ethic. 

ACL is currently working on Mr Singh’s second 

project, a subdivision in East Maddison’s Road, 

creating the entire horizontal infrastructure 

needed including section platforms, water, sewer, 

roading, lighting and footpaths. 

‘The company is upfront with a straight up and 

down approach; there are no hidden costs and all 

their staff take personal ownership and pride in 

what they do,’ says Mr Singh. ACL is due to start 

on stage two of Mr Singh’s Markham Junction 

development in Tennyson Street. 

Roger Crozier, developer of the Torlesse Estate, 

echoes Mr Singh’s sentiments. ‘Ashburton 

Contracting Limited was our main contractor 

for the subdivision including removing trees and 

sealing 2km of road leading to the entranceway. 

As with many projects on this scale, there can be 

things unforeseen but if there were any issues, we 

just sat down together and talked them through.’ 

Mr Crozier, like Mr Singh, says they were happy 

with the finished product and give the company 

full marks for their expertise and quality service. 

Ashburton Contracting Limited specialises in 

civil contracting and construction and now has 

an office in the Rolleston IZone. The company 

has a number of projects on the go around the 

Rolleston/Christchurch area including laying 

the pipework for Kraft Heinz-Wattie’s NZ Ltd at 

Hornby. 

ACL Civil Operations and Business 

Development manager Steve Adam says, ‘we 

do the unglamorous stuff when it comes to civil 

contracting. We have the capabilities to take 

on the largest development or the smallest like 

putting in a driveway and offer a multi-skilled 

team that produces quality results for our clients.’ 

Other high profile projects in the Selwyn 

District include The Warehouse South Island 

Distribution Centre Extension, the new Darfield 

4 Square, Markham Junction Commercial 

development, the Prebbleton Main trunk 

Sewer upgrade to rural and urban residential 

subdivisions, carparks, footpaths, driveways and 

entranceways, rural track and laneways work. 

Mr Adam says ACL has become the ‘people’s 

best choice’ and with over 120 staff and a modern 

fleet of excavators, trucks, graders, loaders and 

specialised plant as well as light vehicles and 

construction equipment, the company is well set 

up for future developments in the area.

Dancer excited for Arts Centre 

residency programme 

A DANCER who grew up in 

Rolleston, has been chosen to 

create her own dance work at The 

Arts Centre. 

Olivia 

O’Brien, 21, 

who trained at 

the Garmonsway 

School 

of Dance and 

Hagley Dance 

Company has 

Olivia O’Brien 

been the first 

to be selected 

for the 2019 

DANZ Dance Residency. 

The programme is being delivered 

for the first time in city by 

DANZ in partnership with The 

Arts Centre and Movement Art 

Practice. 

O’Brien said the residency is 

a chance for her as a choreographer 

to grow and develop her 

skills as a dance artist. 

“The residency has given me 

time and space to experiment 

with ideas and processes to see 

how I create as freelancer,” she 

said. 

DANZ executive director Sheryl 

Lowe said The Arts Centre was 

an exciting place to host its third 

dance residency. 

EXCITED: Olivia O’Brien (right) has been chosen to create her 

own dance work at The Arts Centre. 

“We hope this residency will 

contribute to the reinvigoration 

of the arts and dance community 

in Christchurch and help to 

build on the wonderful progress 

already being made.” 

In an exciting new collaboration 

between DANZ, The Arts 

Centre and Movement Art Practice, 

the residency will be hosted 

over two weeks in Christchurch. 

The residency is set to take 

place in alignment with the 

Ōtautahi Tiny Performance 

Festival on November 30 curated 

by Movement Art Practice. 

The DANZ Dance Residency is 

aimed at an independent dance 

artist seeking to develop their 

practice and is part of DANZ’s 

strategy to further expand its 

support to new graduates in the 

professional dance sector. 

O’Brien will be based at The 

Arts Centre until November 29 

and will have the opportunity to 

work with assigned dancers and 

to have access to a dance mentor 

throughout the two-week period 

of the residency. 

At the end of the residency, 

she will present the work she 

has created at a showing at the 

festival. She will also facilitate a 

workshop at The Arts Centre. 

O’Brien is in her final year at 

Unitec in the Bachelor of Performing 

and Screen Arts (Contemporary 

Dance) in Auckland. 

“I am excited for the opportunity 

to return to my hometown, 

Christchurch, for this residency 

to develop my practice. For me, 

this residency will allow me to 

come home and re-establish old 

connections and relationships”, 

she said. 

O’Brien residency project, 

From Residence, will be developed 

as a duet on her residency 

dancers, and will explore her 

interest in making work that 

pushes boundaries, provoking 

and subverting expectations 

through well crafted, dynamic 

and virtuosic movement. 

Dangerous 

dogs double 

in numbers 


THE NUMBER of registered dogs 

in the district has reached more 

than 14,000. 

The district council’s registration 

database now includes 14,407 

dogs for the period ending in 

June. That is 883 more than last 

year’s total of 13,524. 

The number of dogs that have 

been classified as dangerous has 

increased by seven in the last year, 

bringing the total register to 14. 

All were classified as dangerous 

because of the owner admitting so 

in writing. 

Two more dogs were classified 

as menacing in the last year, taking 

the total number to 78. 

The number of them classified 

menacing by deed was 53, 16 for 

their breed and nine for breed 

characteristics. 

Meanwhile, the district council 

received 1582 complaints relating 

to dogs barking, wandering, fouling, 

rushing, attacks on domestic 

animals and unregistered dogs. 

There were 100 complaints 

about attacks on people. 

Also in the last year, the district 

council issued 535 infringement 

notices for breaches against the 

Dog Control Act.

FORTY GOLFERS, some who could 

be referred to as weekend hackers, took 

part in The Annual Famous Grouse

Mike Bowie is an ecologist who 

specialises in entomology (insects 

and other invertebrates). Each 

week he introduces a new species 

found in his backyard at Lincoln. His column

SO FAR 22 spider species 

have been identified on our 

section at Lincoln. One of 

the largest of those found, 

with a body length of 

20mm, is the large brown 

vagrant spider (Uliodon 

albopunctatus). 

The genera Uliodon is 

widespread throughout 

the country and badly in 

need of taxonomic revision 

given there are about 20 

endemic species in New 

Zealand, but only three 

have been named. 

The nocturnal vagrant 

spider lives in a variety of 

habitats, including native 

forests, plantations, open 

habitat under logs and 

rocks, scree slopes 

and occasionally in 

houses. 

They are dark 

brown in colour 

with two rows of 

paler dots down 

their abdomen 

and can be incredibly 

camouflaged 

when they remain 

motionless. Males 

have orange pedipalps 

(two appendages on 

the front of head) and are 

not as large as females. 

After mating the female 

prepares a chamber lined 

with silk beneath a log, 

stone or inside a rotten 

log where they construct a

She definitely still uses 

her legs to power herself 

away from me (mostly with 

me trailing behind going 

“no, no, not there, that’s 

dangerous/dirty. Oh bloody 

heck’’), but she’s way faster 

now. 

There’s plenty of walking 

and running towards me 

to of course, but running 

is not the only milestone 

we’ve hit this year. 

GROWING UP: Vittoria (left) at the beginning of 

these columns and a year down the track. 

Looking back on a year 

as full-time parent 

TAI TAPU’S Rico 

Mannall has been named 

runner-up in the Young 

Horticulturist of the Year 

competition. 

Mr Mannall, 28, was 

representing the New 

Zealand plant producers 

category. 

The competition celebrates 

excellence in people 

aged under 30 who are employed 

in the horticulture 

industry. The winners were 

announced at a gala in 

Auckland last week. 

Hearing the odd word 

come out, or seeing her 

understand the things I 

say still give me the wee 

heart-swell of pride. Much 

as watching her try to 

cuddle the cats, her love of 

dancing and music or the 

beginnings of her playing 

pretend. 

Last week she took her 

favourite little soft-toy 

buddy Dragon and made 

him ride her rockinghorse. 

She even held the toy’s arms 

to the handles and made 

“wheee” sounds. 

We’ve had the not so 

good times too. Like her 

getting pneumonia (just 

before we left for Italy) or 

the discovery of tantrums. 

Near the start of this 

year I did a column on 

how Vittoria had pushed 

another kid and how I had 

the conundrum of what to 

do in that situation. 

I used the word bully in 

that column. Believe me, 

that did not endear me to 

the wife at all. 

But over the last 12 

months I’ve also grown in 

VITTORIA 

& Matt 

my confidence as a parent. 

Learned what to actually 

worry about, what behaviour 

to curb and how to 

respond to the tantrums 

and grumps. 

I’ve also learned how to 

play again and how to (I 

hope) stoke Vittoria’s interest 

in the world around her. 

The way she says “wow” 

all the time at the things 

she sees on our walks and 

drives gives me hope. 

All and all, this has been 

a truly unique and rewarding 

experience that I may 

never get the chance to 

have again. While I might 

not be heading back to 

work in the immediate 

future, I very much doubt 

I’ll be still doing this next 

November. 

So happy anniversary 

readers, I hope you’ve enjoyed 

the last 52 columns 

– including this one.

Headaches don’t have to be suffered in silence 

Most people experience a headache 

now and again but, although they 

are common, they do not have to be 

part of your daily life. 

Headaches can be caused by 

many different conditions and 

includes pain both in the head and 

neck. The brain tissue itself is not 

sensitive to pain as it lacks pain 

receptors. Rather, the pain is caused 

by disturbance of pain-sensitive 

structures around the brain. 

Studies have shown that roughly 

a third of all people suffer from 

headaches equaling as many as 45 

million people suffering from chronic 

or severe headaches that seriously 

interfere with their lives. 

Headaches vary in intensity and have 

different symptoms including pain in 

the head, visual impairment (blurred 

vision), nausea and vomiting, hearing 

impairment, confusion, discomfort 

and irritability. 

Headaches can be caused by a 

number of different reasons with 

spinal misalignments involved in 

up to 80% of all headaches. Other 

reasons include certain foods, 

toxic fumes, preservatives and 

alcohol are all contributing factors 

to headaches. 

Tension headaches are the most 

common type of headache for both 

adults and children. Trigger points 

include lack of sleep, emotional 

tension at home, work or school, 

second-hand cigarette smoke, 

skipped meals, poor nutrition, eye 

strain and bright lights. 

How Chiropractic care helps 

Your spine protects your nervous 

system, which starts with the brain 

and becomes the spinal cord. When 

the vertebrae in your neck can not 

move properly, this irritates or puts 

pressure on the nerves in that area, 

causing headaches. 

Chiropractic care addresses the 

cause of many types of headaches 

so can remove or dramatically 

reduce both how often headaches 

occur and how long they last. A New 

Zealand Government study finding 

the majority of people who suffered 

from spinal misalignments had their 

headache relies or their condition 

improved through Chiropractic care. 

The reason Chiropractic care 

can work is because headaches 

are usually due to what is called 

subluxations in the spine. 

Chiropractors can perform 

chiropractic adjustments to remove 

pressure on the nerves, which then 

also helps to improve nerve function. 

In today’s fast paced world, many 

people think headaches are a 

normal ailment that they just have 

to put up with so next time you 

have a headache, call Southern 

Chiropractic at 03 322 1432. 

Relief is only a phone call away.

Selwyn Sounds 

Zed reforms for the love of it 

• By Matt Slaughter 

WHEN ZED formed in the late 

1990s, they were fresh-faced 

teenagers from Cashmere High 

School. 

The band’s transition from 

the classroom to reaching 

international audiences and 

being managed by New Zealand 

music legend Ray Columbus 

happened quickly. Their first album 

Silencer debuted at number 

one on the New Zealand album 

charts in 2000 and included hit 

singles Renegade Fighter and 

Glorafilia. 

Zed lead singer and guitarist 

Nathan King said highlights 

of their young career included 

opening for Robbie Williams 

and Coldplay and touring 

Europe. 

Now, fans who want to take 

a trip down memory lane and 

hear a set filled with Kiwi 

classics can do so when Zed 

reunites after 15 years to play 

Selwyn Sounds on March 7. 

Lead singer Nathan King said 

the band is looking forward to 

playing in front of fans whose 

lives may have been impacted by 

their music. 

“We love bringing a show 

which involves the crowd. We 

will be playing all the hits but 

also there [will be] some surprises 

there and there are some 

nods to our heroes in terms of a 

cover or two that we do which 

I think people will love. We’re 

just very conscious as a band, 

we were a big part of a lot of 

people’s lives growing up.” 

The Selwyn Sounds crowd 

will be treated to Zed’s original 

line up of King, fellow Cashmere 

High old boys Ben Campbell 

and Adrian Palmer and 

the band’s only non-Cashmere 

connection Andy Lynch. 

King said the band had developed 

musically in the years 

the members had been apart 

and they are looking forward to 

showing this off. 

“Musically, I think we’ve all 

developed and matured over the 

years. We got together for our 

comeback shows that we had in 

September and as the frontman 

with essentially three guys playing 

with me, I was blown away 

by the calibre of musicianship 

ROCKERS: 

Zed members 

Ben Campbell, 

Adrian Palmer, 

Nathan King 

and Andy Lynch 

will perform at 

Selwyn Sounds 

on March 7. 

•Selwyn 

Sounds tickets

that was still there and still evident 

after all these years.” 

King said the pressure on Zed 

in its early days to make a living 

is gone. Himself and Lynch 

now run Auckland-based music 

studio Hum Studios, Campbell 

owns Akaroa restaurant Ma 

Maison and Palmer is theowner 

of Addington Coffee 

Co-op. 

Zed will play Selwyn Sounds 

purely for the love of it, said 

King. 

Pop-rock 

melodies 

from Parsons 

• By Matt Slaughter 

JED PARSONS will be taking 

his pop-rock melodies to Selwyn 

Sounds. 

The former Lincoln High School 

student will be performing songs 

from his album Midnight Feast, 

which was nominated for an award 

at the Taite Music Prize ceremony 

earlier this year. 

Parsons said he and his band 

members Moses Robbins and 

Matt Andrews will play a diverse, 

energetic set for the Selwyn Sounds 

crowd. 

“You’ll expect anything from sort 

of very mellow, acoustic folk songs, 

right through to pretty ridiculous 

and silly indie rock songs,’’ he said. 

“I think we’ll definitely look 

to kick the day off with a bang 

because we’re one of the first acts to 

play on the day. We’ll be hopefully 

playing exactly what every single 

person in the crowd wants to hear.” 

Parsons said he is looking 

forward to performing in the area 

where he grew up in front of familiar 

faces. 

“Maybe they [the crowd] might 

find it quite entertaining to see 

how I’ve developed since being an 

annoying little child hogging the 

limelight in school productions.”

Building begins on 

Foster Park Indoor Courts 

Building work has begun on the Foster Park Indoor Courts after Mayor Sam Broughton broke ground. 

The ceremony last week marked the halfway point in a journey to get the sport and event facility 

built, Sam said. 

“Three years ago the Council committed to build some significant social infrastructure that the 

community had been asking for, including the indoor courts. It’s exciting to be at this point of 

providing an excellent sports facility along with the other developments we’ve made at this park, 

and for the district.” 

He thanked contractors Apollo Projects for their innovative design and construction approach. It 

was a source of pride that the design allowed the courts to be built with significantly more floor 

space and at a cheaper cost to similar new or soon to be built facilities, he said. 

The facility includes eight courts and a 240 metre indoor walking track on the mezzanine level, 

plus changing rooms and public toilets servicing the Foster Park fields. It will be able to host a 

range of events. The courts are expected to be ready for use by the winter sport season 2021. 

Building app makes consents easier 

Builders can now book inspections for building consents and view reports on a portable device at any 

time, following recent enhancements to the Council’s consent system. 

The Council is using the AlphaOne Builders App to provide the 

industry with a streamlined way to book inspections and view 

inspection reports. People can also check the status of their 

consent and any issues that need addressing. 

The app is used by a number of New Zealand councils and is 

tailored to the requirements of each authority. Council Building 

Team Operations Leader Jenny Lilley says the app aims to free 

up builders and project managers’ time on site and speed up the 

inspection booking process. 

“It’s another tool that can be used to their advantage and make the 

process simpler.” 

The AlphaOne Builders App is available through the Apple App 

Store and Google Play Store. For more information companies can 

contact bca@selwyn.govt.nz. 

The world calling Selwyn home 

People from around the world are choosing to call Selwyn home 

and become new Kiwi citizens here. 

Since February last year, 559 people of 56 different nationalities 

have taken the oath of allegiance at the Council’s monthly 

citizenship ceremony. 

British citizens were the most common taking up New Zealand 

nationality, providing 132 new citizens, followed by South Africa 

(91), India (51) and the Philippines (39). However, the figures show 

people coming here from across the globe including Argentina, 

Cambodia, Kenya, Iceland, Uzbekistan and Zambia. 

People from so many different 

countries choosing to move 

here is a sign of what a good place 

Selwyn is to live and a boost 

for the district, Council Community 

Services Group Manager 

Denise Kidd says. 

“We’re delighted to see so many 

people feel welcomed and have found 

a new place here. New migrants, 

wherever they are from, bring skills 

and stories that enrich us and help us 

grow as a community.” 

Tonnes taken at farm waste day 

Almost 7000 kg of farm waste was safely disposed of through a 

Council programme with Agrecovery Rural Recycling. 

The Agrecovery Rural Recycling day in Ellesmere offered farmers and 

growers the opportunity to safely dispose of a variety of farm waste. 

Over 60 people dropped off 6915 kg of farm waste, including 2705 

kg of chemicals that will be safely treated and disposed of, 1500 kg 

of chemical containers and over 1000 kg of fertiliser bags. 

Tom Macartney from Tai Tapu said the event was very helpful and 

he was very happy with the organisation. 

The day was part of a Rural Waste Minimisation Project to tackle 

barriers to recycling for New Zealand’s rural communities. It was 

good to see Selwyn farmers seize the opportunity, Council Solid 

Waste Manager Andrew Boyd says. 

“The turnout and quantities collected really showed the value of 

the day. We’ve indicated that the district would be keen to be 

involved in any future Rural Recycling events, with the ultimate aim 

to have it annually.” 

Coalgate road legalisation – have your say 

The Council has identified a number of undedicated roads in Coalgate township, which it intends to 

legalise. These undedicated roads are Queen Street, Station Road, High Street, Wing Street, King 

Street, James Street and unnamed roads intersecting Homebush Road and Bridge Street. A plan of the 

undedicated roads is available at Darfield Library, online at selwyn.govt.nz/coalgateroads, or on request. 

Without the status of a road, some properties adjoining the undedicated roads have no legal road 

access and future development rights cannot be confirmed. 

The parcels of land are shown as roads on survey plans, but were not legally dedicated at the time of the 

original subdivisions in 1872–1906 and are still held in the original certificates of title and owned by the 

original owners, George Roberts, Joseph Shirley Buxton and William Attwood who are long since deceased. 

Correcting this historic oversight will cater for transport, property access and development 

requirements. The Council will acquire the land using the Public Works Act 1981. 

The Council proposes some of the undedicated roads would be used to develop walking and cycling 

links and connections to the new Coalgate to Glentunnel pathway. 

The Council recognises that use or occupation of the undedicated roads by some Coalgate property 

owners has occurred over time and recognises the need to discuss what options may be available to 

resolve these situations. 

The Property Group Limited has been engaged by the Council to legalise these sections of road. 

If you have any questions or concerns about this proposal, please complete a submission at 

selwyn.govt.nz/coalgateroads or contact Emma Baker, The Property Group Limited, PO Box 7240, 

Christchurch 8240 or 03 363 5625. 

On the roads this week 

High Street in Leeston will be closed from 5–10.30pm on Friday 6 

December for the Leeston Christmas Parade. A detour will be in 

place. Footpath and drainage work is taking place on Leeston Road, 

Doyleston. Traffic management will be in place. Footpath construction 

will be taking place in Glentunnel on SH77 and in Darfield on South 

Terrace. These footpaths will be closed during construction.

CONTINUING EDUCATION 

SELWYN TIMES 

From computer 

novice to digital 

whizz 

A simple desire to become more 

confident using computers has opened up 

a world of possibilities for Thomas King, a 

co-director of a logistics business. 

“The world is rapidly changing and to 

keep pace with it, having some confidence 

and competence in computing is crucial,” 

he says. “I realised that I’d have to embrace 

this scary but exciting new tech-driven 

world sooner or later, and now here I am 

today, loving what I once feared.” 

Thomas got the skills he was looking 

for at Ara Connect, a network of 

community hubs operated by Ara Institute 

of Canterbury which 

offer free, non-assessed 

computing courses for 

anyone wanting to gain 

skills and confidence 

using digital technology. 

Thomas says the tutors 

at Ara Connect made 

learning an enjoyable 

experience and were 

very supportive. “I felt 

so inspired during my 

journey. The tutors were 

very attentive and always 

eager to assist. They want 

you to succeed and they 

encourage you to push 

your boundaries without ever throwing 

you in the deep end.” 

His advice for anyone else considering 

the computing courses at Ara Connect 

is to just go for it. “Knowing how to use 

computers in a way that delivers results can 

make life so much easier, especially in the 

world of business. I certainly wish I’d taken 

courses like these two decades ago. My 

advice is to pluck up the courage and just 

go for it.” 

Information about Ara Connect 

courses is available at ara.ac.nz or by 

calling 0800 24 24 76. 

TALENT: Jaden Ransley enters his fourth season in Toyota 86s and will start as a 

title favourite in the 2019-2020 Best Bars Toyota 86 Championship. 

Ransley to have another 

crack at Toyota 86 title 

SPORT 

ROLLESTON’S Toyota 86 

racer Jaden Ransley has 

confirmed he will run in 

this season’s championship, 

starting as one of the title 

favourites. 

It will be the 17-yearold’s 

fourth Toyota 86 

season and follows an 

impressive season in the 

Australian championship 

where he won a race and 

was almost always at the 

sharp end of the field, scoring 

numerous top ten and 

top five finishes. 

Although he is making 

no secret of the fact that 

he feels ready to move up 

to faster racing categories 

such as the New Zealand or 

Australian TCR series, the 

former KartSport national 

champion will still start the 

season as one of the firm 

favourites for the title in his 

Neale Motorsport run car. 

Ransley is particularly 

interested in the championship 

prize pool this year, 

which includes a Toyota 86 

car for the overall winner. 

“Yes, I am definitely 

looking forward to coming 

back and having 

another crack at the 86 

series, which looks very 

competitive again this year 

and I am super keen to win 

the prize car,” he said. 

“We looked over other 

classes to race in throughout 

New Zealand and Australia 

and we’ve figured the 

86 series would be the best 

category to keep my bum 

in the seat until hopefully 

something else arises along 

the lines of TCR in New 

Zealand or Australia. 

“It’s extremely competitive 

and difficult to win in, 

so you do have to be on 

your game as a driver to be 

competitive in it, let alone 

win in it.” 

His championship campaign 

begins in Pukekohe 

before heading to the South 

Island for rounds at Highlands 

Motorsport Park and 

Invercargill’s Teretonga 

Park. 

It then moves to the 

North Island for the New 

Zealand Grand Prix meeting 

at Manfeild – Circuit 

Chris Amon and then 

onto Hampton Downs 

before concluding with a 

non-championship race 

weekend at the Virgin 

Australia Supercars event 

at Pukekohe Park in April.

SELWYN TIMES 

West Melton continue strong 

start to the tennis season 

• By Jacob Page 

WEST MELTON’S positive 

start to the Canterbury Country 

tennis season continued with a 

15-5 win over Kirwee-Springston 

to start round two, at Kirwee, on 

Saturday. 

They dominated the contest 

winning 11 of the 16 matches. 

West Melton’s victory came on 

the back of taking the Ian Jones 

Trophy for winning round one of 

the competition. 

In the other two fixtures, 

Rolleston-Killinchy and Tai Tapu 

were locked at eight wins each 

with Tai Tapu winning by three 

games, at Rolleston. 

Prebbleton-Lincoln easily 

accounted for Fernside 16-0, at 

Fernside. 

West Melton 16-year-old and 

No 1 Luke Tanner remained unbeaten 

in singles so far this year. 

It was Tai Tapu’s women who 

pulled them back into their 

contest with Rolleston-Killinchy 

with Pieta Aitken and Jo Christie 

both unbeaten after the Rolleston-Killinchy 

men had won three 

of the four singles games. 

Week two will see Tai Tapu 

host Prebbleton-Lincoln, Kirwee- 

Springston welcome Fernside to 

Kirwee and Rolleston-Killinchy 

travel to West Melton. 

The competition is likely to run 

through to March. 

There will be a weekend break 

when senior representatives 

compete for the Browning Shield 

at Wilding Park on February 22 

and 23. 

The competition sees teams 

from Ellesmere, Mid Canterbury, 

North Canterbury and Malvern 

compete for the coveted piece of 

silverware. 

The shield was won by Mid 

Canterbury last year. 

Ellesmere Tennis president 

Jason McKenzie said it was important 

for the game in the area 

that both Saturday tennis and the 

representative fixtures remained 

in place despite occasional lack of 

playing numbers. 

“The standard of the Browning 

Shield is still very high and 

Canterbury Tennis have been accommodating 

in freeing up their 

schedule to allow our top players 

to compete in it.” 

Mr McKenzie said it was 

important the pathway for upand-coming 

Country players was 

maintained through Saturday 

tennis. 

The Ellesmere junior tennis 

team beat North Canterbury by 

winning three of the four age 

grades. 

Ellesmere won the 10s eight sets 

to six, the 14s 152 games to 120 and 

the 16s 10 matches to six. 

North Canterbury won the 12s 

nine matches to seven.

Title-holders in trouble 


LEESTON-Southbridge’s defence 

of the Canterbury Country 

premier twenty20 cricket title is 

in early trouble after two losses 

on Saturday. 

With all teams missing the 

Canterbury Country representative 

players who were playing 

Otago A, both Southbrook and 

Sefton were able to take advantage 

to topple the competition 

favourites. 

Southbrook and Weedons were 

the two teams who won both 

matches on Saturday. 

Southbrook won their encounter 

by five wickets while Sefton 

won by one run. 

Thirty-seven from Luan Blom 

helped Southbrook to 118 for 

nine, which proved too much for 

Leeston-Southbridge who could 

only muster 88 for six in reply. 

Sefton were able to defend 112 

for seven by the narrowest of 

margins with Leeston-Southbridge’s 

Kirk Doyle run out for a 

duck off the final ball. 

Leeston-Southbridge captain 

Toby Doyle said with the team 

missing eight players from their 

previous match against Darfield, 

they struggled for momentum 

with the bat in particular. 

Southbrook won both their 

games, as they added a win over 

Oxford in their second round 

fixture. 

Weedons also went two for 

two after a five-wicket win over 


BATTING will be 

Canterbury Country’s 

major focus ahead of their 

first Hawke Cup game next 

month after a tough two 

games against Otago A at 

Rangiora’s Main Power 

Oval over the weekend. 

Otago A got the better 

of Canterbury Country 

across the two matches, 

winning the 50-over encounter 

on Friday by four 

wickets and controlling the 

drawn two-day fixture on 

Saturday and Sunday. 

Canterbury Country 

will start their Hawke Cup 

campaign against Buller in 

Westport on December 8 

and 9. 


coach Michael Sharpe said 

his team did not make the 

most of the opportunities 

created with the bat but 

believed the preparation 

was excellent ahead of the 

Hawke Cup campaign, 

“We had guys make 

starts, but we just didn’t 

carry on with it or get the 

big contributions we were 

looking for. 

“I thought we bowled 

well at times on a flat track 

but we just didn’t get the 

runs we needed.’’

most of the platform as 

they only managed 60 runs 

from the final 17 overs as 

Otago A kept chipping 

away with regular wickets

Otago A openers Camden 

Hawkins (62) and Brad 

Kneebone (80) shared in a 

143-run opening stand.

Brad Nightingale made 62 to 

against Darfield to anchor their 

pursuit of 129 for victory. 

It was a tough day for Darfield 

who also lost to Lincoln by seven 

wickets. 

It was a bounce-back win for 

Lincoln who had lost their round 

one fixture to Cheviot by seven 

wickets. 

Southbrook beat Oxford by five 

wickets to be unbeaten for the 

day.

Tough weekend for karter 


LINCOLN KARTER Jacob 

Douglas had lady luck desert 

him at the USA Super Nationals 

in Las Vegas last weekend. 

The 14-year-old was considered 

one of the favourites before 

the weekend, but qualifying 

issues and a disqualification 

hampered his charge. 

The event, in its 23rd year, is 

the most prestigious of its kind 

in North America. 

Jacob drove for the factory 

Aluminos team in two classes, 

KA100 and X30 junior classes. 

The X30 started in rough 

fashion with rain falling on the 

circuit making practice challenging. 

Teams and drivers had to 

choose between wets or slicks 

for qualifying and Douglas and 

his team chose wet tyres. 

Unfortunately, a delay on the 

grid meant the track had time 

to dry and with the extra grip 

no longer needed, Jacob had to

settle for 35th on the grid for the 

heats. 

He consistently made his way 

through half the field in the 

three heats but was disqualified 

in the third heat which ended 

his chances of making the final. 

Qualifying proved just as 

difficult in the KA100 where he 

managed 29th out of 46 cars but 

the quest for clean racing air 

was difficult and his chance of a 

podium spot dashed. 

Jacob’s father, Craig Douglas 

said it had been a challenging 

weekend but that was the nature 

of motorsport. 

“We’ve had such a dominant 

season, but that’s how luck can 

go at times and we will just 

have to come back stronger next 

year.” 

Mr Douglas said his son 

was likely to spend half the 

year overseas next year as they 

looked to race in Europe on top 

of the Junior Australian Kart 

Championships which begin in 

January.

Kirkwood Intermediate 

Opportunities 

At Kirkwood we are very proud of our children and their achievements. 

Our pupils have many opportunities to participate in a wide range of education activities including Technology; ICT; 

Music; Drama; Education Outside The Classroom; Leadership roles; Camps; Academic challenges; and Sports. 

Our pupils develop a wide range of skills which helps them develop educationally, socially, emotionally and physically 

during their time with us. Just a few of the opportunities our pupils have experienced this year are as follows: 

Education Outside the Classroom 

We visit many different places within our community such as Canterbury Museum, 

Riccarton House and the Art Gallery. We also offer class camps for our Year 7 and 

Year 8 pupils. This year our Year 7’s camped at Purau Bay where they experienced 

canoeing, abseiling and camping skills, along with getting to know their class and 

developing friendships. 

Sport at Kirkwood Intermediate 

We participate in a large variety of sports including: Netball, Football, Cross Country, 

Skiing, Swimming, Rugby, Basketball, Waterpolo, Touch Rugby, Korf Ball, Table 

Tennis, Badminton, Mountain Biking, Athletics and Gymnastics. We also compete in 

the Canterbury Association of Intermediate and Middle Schooling competitions. 

Our school is well known for the courtesy, co-operation and sportsmanship of our 

teams and we value this highly. 

Some of the highlights this year are as follows: 

Tuesday Sport - Our A Football 

team came second in their 

competition. 

Indoor Tournament - We took 

two basketball teams, two Volleyball 

teams and five Badminton teams. 

Many of our pupils have been 

selected to represent Canterbury 

and/or have been selected for the 

Nationals in various sports which 

makes our school proud. 

Wellington camp 

This year the Year 8 students attended a school camp in Wellington. 

Going on camp was a wonderful experience for the Year 8 students and 

they made memories to last a lifetime. 

We spent four days in Wellington and the timetable was packed with activities that 

related to our school curriculum. We flew to Wellington by plane and spent our first 

afternoon at the Beehive, where we had a tour and even had the chance to see 

Parliament in session! Following that was a visit to National Library of New Zealand 

where we saw the Treaty of Waitangi, the Declaration of Independence and the 

Women’s Suffrage Petition. 

Our next day began with the filming of a live TV show at Capital E. Our students 

took on every role from Director to Sound Technician to News Anchor and worked 

together to get the show done. We spent the rest of the day at the Wellington 

Museum and Te Papa in the care of two fantastic educators. After dinner, we took an 

evening stroll down the water front to Ferg’s Rock where we did some rock-climbing. 

On the third day, we walked through the 

Wellington Botanical Gardens to get to 

Zealandia – a predator-free native bird 

sanctuary in the Karori Valley. It was 

incredible to see Kaka, Saddlebacks, 

Takahe and even Tuatara up close. This 

visit related closely to our Term Four 

Science topic – New Zealand Birds. In 

the afternoon we went to the Wellington 

Zoo and had a tour. It was interesting to 

compare the lives of animals in the Zoo 

with those in the Sanctuary. 

Our final day was mostly a travel day as 

we took the ferry to Picton and then the 

train back to Christchurch. We had a 

wonderful time in Wellington. It was so 

special to make such amazing memories 

with our school friends before we all 

leave to high school next year.

Gardening 


SELWYN TIMES 

It’s all happening in the garden 

NOVEMBER IS a wonderful 

month in the garden. 

There are masses of lush green 

growth, new season vegetables 

are growing at a rapid rate and 

summer flowering annuals and 

roses are bursting with colour. 

It’s a joy to be outside and this 

month’s tasks will keep you active 

in the sunshine. 

Vegetable garden 

The practice of ‘succession 

planting’ is important when it 

comes to vegetable gardening. It 

means you stagger your plantings 

or planting varieties so you do not 

have them all cropping at once, 

for example if you plant a couple 

of lettuces every two to three 

weeks. 

Continue to plant summer 

vegetables including beans (dwarf 

and runner), beetroot, cabbage, 

celery, corn, cucumber, courgettes, 

lettuce, pumpkin, radish, 

tomatoes, and kumara. Water 

your vegetables regularly but not 

excessively. Tie up tomatoes and 

remove lateral growth. Apply side 

dressings of vegetable fertiliser, 

especially to those gross feeders, 

for example sweet corn. 

Flowering annuals 

Spring flowering annuals 

should now be in full bloom. 

Continue planting seedlings 

of alyssum, ageratum, asters, 

cornflowers, cosmos, livingstone 

daisies, marigolds, nemesias, 

HARVEST: To ensure your strawberries are the best possible 

quality, cover with bird netting. 

phlox, petunias, salvias, strawflowers 

and zinnias. Dead head 

(removal of dead flowers) the 

annuals throughout the growing 

season to encourage continuous 

blooming. 

Fruit trees 

All fruit trees are in active 

growth in November and young 

fruit are forming on pip and 

stone trees. Fertilise with fruit 

tree fertiliser to encourage strong, 

healthy growth – and don’t forget 

to water it in well. Citrus trees, 

tangelo seminole and harwood 

late orange are now ripe and 

ready for harvesting. 

Strawberries 

November is an excellent 

month for harvesting strawberries 

in the home garden. Plants 

require minimal care but maintain 

a ‘bed’ of pea straw or hay 

around the plants as this helps 

reduce possible attacks of botrytis 

(grey mould). Cover the strawberry 

beds with bird netting 

where birds are a problem. 

Herbs 

As temperatures rise, herbs 

thrive. Trim herbs even if they 

are not required for the kitchen 

as this encourages fresh new 

growth. Basil can now be planted 

in southern districts as the risk of 

late frosts has passed. 

Roses 

November is a glorious time 

for cultivating roses. Bushes are 

usually covered in blooms and 

are typically disease-free. As with 

your flowering annuals, remove 

finished flowers (dead heading) 

to encourage further flowering 

of your roses. Feed with fertiliser 

from now until Christmas, 

add extra mulch and enjoy your 

blooms. 

Container gardens 

A very simple way to beautify 

decks, entranceways, balconies 

and courtyards is to include punnets 

of flowering annuals. These 

are a very economical way of producing 

colour in your containers. 

TIDY: Use pots and flowering 

annuals to create a visually 

pleasing entrance to your 

home. 

Hedges 

The spring flush on hedges 

should now be finished so it’s 

an ideal time to trim and shape 

hedges. By trimming ‘a little and 

often’ hedges can be maintained 

in excellent health and form. 

With newly-planted hedges, water 

and fertilise regularly to encourage 

strong healthy growth. 

Lawns 

Lawns are at their very best and 

it definitely feels like Mowvember 

with all the new growth. This 

is the last month to ‘safely’ sow 

new lawns or ‘patch up’ parts of 

existing lawns. Fertilise with lawn 

fertiliser, watering immediately 

after applications. Where ‘ready’ 

lawn is to be laid, preparation of 

the site is critical to success, as 

is regular watering after installation 

until the new lawn is well 

established. 

Ornamental trees and 

shrubs 

Care of these plants includes 

fertiliser applications (every five 

to six weeks), mulching to help 

retain soil moisture and suppress 

weeds, and pruning after flowering 

has finished to maintain 

healthy, sturdy plants. 

Attempt to create an ‘all year 

round’ garden by planting trees 

and shrubs that flower at different 

times of the year.

this has brought about a change 

in how our loyalty programme

and use them before they expire! 

preparing your 

garden for the heat 

Get in before the summer heat and apply bark mulch 

to your gardens. Your plant’s roots won’t like the hot 

weather so a layer of bark will help to protect them 

through the summer. Apply at a 10cm depth as this 

will help to protect your plants, but will also help to 

suppress weeds. 

outdoor entertaining 

safety in the garden 

Spring brings the risk of catching Legionnaires Disease 

if you don’t handle potting mixes and compost 

correctly. The bacteria that cause Legionnaires 

Disease are present naturally in the environment 

and there is no method available to eliminate the 

bacteria. So, we must work with protecting ourselves 

from the harmful effects of these bacteria, in much 

the same way as we protect ourselves from the 

damage caused to us by exposure to the sun. Below 

are some precautions you can take to reduce the risk 

of contracting Legionnaires. 

juicy lemons need plenty of water 

To ensure you have enough juicy lemons, keep the water up to your 

plants while they are in flower now. Dry lemons are directly related 

to a lack of water as the crop develops over summer. 

A layer of mulch works wonders, apply mulch after watering the soil. 

A top up of fertiliser will be beneficial for them now too. 

We love entertaining outdoors here in NZ, and now 

is a great time to get sorted in time for Christmas. A 

fresh layer of bark will tidy up the garden wonderfully, 

and some decorative stones will add a touch of 

something different around patios or pavers. If you 

are looking to create a new space, we have a great 

range of bark nuggets, mulch, chips, pavers and 

stones to help with your DIY projects. 

» Open bags with a 

sharp knife - away 

from the face - in open 

spaces, not in enclosed 

areas like sheds or 

greenhouses 

» Remember to use 

gloves and masks when 

handling the mix 

» Dampen any dry mix - 

being care not to 

inhale dry, dusty mix 

» Store bags out of direct 

sunlight 

» Always wash your 

hands after gardening, 

and before eating or 

drinking 

If you develop any flu-like symptoms after working in 

the garden head to your Dr immediately. Make sure 

you let them know you have been gardening and 

need to get tested for Legionnaires. 

If you have any queries 

about Legionnaires,

MY PRIDE AND JOY 

SELWYN TIMES 

A rare British automobile marque 

Captain Noel Macklin was behind the Eric-Campbell 

and Invicta cars, both light and sporty. The 2-litre 

Meadows engine gave Macklin the power he sought 

and his sister-in-law, Violette Cordery won a number of 

races in the Invicta. 

When Macklin sold the Invicta motor vehicle 

company in 1933 he started the Fairmile Engineering 

Company producing Railton cars from 1933 to 1940. 

Named after Reid Railton, designer of the world speed 

record car, four Railton models were produced: the 

1933 Railton Terraplane, 1935 Railton 8, 1937 Railton 

Cobham, and 1938 Railton 8. 

John, who is a Selwyn local, bought his 1935 Railton 

around 50 years ago but is yet to drive it on the road 

with it being carted between homes, travelling more 

miles on a trailer than on wheels. 

“The car has been fully restored. It’s been well painted, 

every nut and bolt in the engine has been rebuilt and 

the engine turns over freely and runs like a watch,” says 

John who hopes to soon have it registered. 

John says the Railton basically comprises a Hudson 

Straight 8 engine, gearbox and chassis with an English 

body similar to a Bentley. Its top speed is 70mph which 

was very fast for its day and comparable to a Bentley on 

both speed and road handling. John’s car was raced on 

the Dunedin wharf racing circuit. 

The 1935 Railton is quite a light car as it is made of 

wood and aluminium, hence the speed. It is a fourseater 

and unique in look with a 5 foot 6 inch long 

bonnet. While spacious inside, including in the rear, it 

has a very small boot. 

John thinks his is probably the only Railton Sedan in 

New Zealand though there are others which have a drop 

head canvas roof. 

The car has extremely comfortable upholstered leather 

seats (front and rear) with a small tray fitted into the 

back of the front seats, which folds out to provide a shelf 

for drinks. 

Only 1460 Hudson based Railton cars were 

produced. They were popular with the constabulary; 

the Manchester police force used them for police 

work while Berkshire Constabulary had two 1936 

sports tourers. From 1937 to 1939, Scotland Yard had 

a number of eight-cylinder Sandown saloons in their 

fleet, adopting the practice of transferring bodies 

between chassis when vehicle engines wore out. 

“I paid $750 for my 1935 Railton in 1971. It was 

advertised in the Otago Vintage Car Club magazine 

and a friend told me to buy it. It’s a nice looking car,” 

explains John.

SELWYN TIMES 

Mercedes-Benz wagon packs a punch 

Motoring 

Ross Kiddie 

IT WAS ONLY a rumour but I’m a 

little worried. I was in conversation 

with a colleague about cars and he 

told me that Mercedes-Benz was 

engineering the sound out of all of 

their models. 

Well, most Mercedes-Benz cars 

are well hushed, and you would 

expect that, the engineering is 

such that when you are paying for 

a luxury car you wouldn’t want 

the travelling experience to be 

ruined by loud noise. 

However, there are some Mercedes-Benz 

cars which are loud, 

and the company would make no 

apology for that, sound is a large 

part of their appeal. 

The cars I’m talking about are 

the performance models, those 

with AMG badging and those 

with high performance engines, 

there are too many to list individually, 

but almost all of those have 

the 63 S engine, the 4-litre V8 that 

characterises the AMG range is 

especially loud and I would hate it 

if that beautiful exhaust note was 

ever stifled. 

The latest car to come my way 

with that twin-turbocharged V8 

was the C 63 S estate, or station 

wagon as we have come to know 

them down under. 

It’s fair to say I was in heaven 

with this car, I love wagons and, 

of course, that howling V8 up 

front is something absolutely 

special. 

Mercedes-Benz rates the 

quad-camshaft unit with a 

massive 375kW and a staggering 

700Nm of torque, the latter 

available all of the way from 

2000 to 4500rpm. Hence the C 

63 S is a vibrant, lusty vehicle, it 

will lunge to 100kmh in 4.1sec 

and will complete an 80km/h to 

120km/h overtaking manoeuvre 

in 3.8sec. They are quick figures 

and ones which will satisfy the 

sports car buyer immensely. Such 

is the strength of the engine, the 

traction control network is challenged, 

under hard acceleration 

you can hear the rear tyres chirping 

as they eke grip. 

Yes, the C 63 S estate drives 

through a nine-speed transmission 

to the rear wheels only, to my 

way of thinking that’s also a benefit, 

while I like the 4Matic system 

that is fitted to other Mercedes- 

Benz product, the weight saving 

and pure driving feel you get 

through rear-wheel-drive only is 

something rather special. 

Of course, the driveline is engineered 

for safety and there is little 

chance of rear-end breakaway, but 

MERCEDES-BENZ AMG C 63 S: Performance car with handy 

wagon section. 

if you are tackling the back roads 

at speed, you can ask the 

C 63 S to be a little playful. 

Time was a little against me 

during testing so I didn’t get all 

of the way to the Lake Coleridge 

Village, that road is my favourite 

for cars of this ilk, but I did get to 

Terrace Downs and I was thrilled 

with the zest and vibrancy of the 

engine, and chassis package. 

In terms of sound, there is a 

button which amplifies exhaust 

tone and I had that activated all of 

the time, there’s a bark out of the 

pipes when the gears change up 

and it is absolutely tantalising. 

There are also a multitude of 

drive modes and they can be 

individually tailored, or you can 

use either of the many pre-programmed 

settings. 

You won’t get away with driving 

the V8 C-Class quickly without 

• Price – Mercedes-Benz 

AMG C 63 S estate, 

$172,700 

• Dimensions – Length, 

4702mm; width, 1810mm; 

height, 1457mm 

• Configuration – V8, 

rear-wheel-drive, 3982cc, 

375kW, 700Nm, ninespeed 

automatic. 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 4.1sec 

• Fuel usage – 10.7l/100km 

noticing a corresponding effect 

on fuel use, after my long highway 

burst, the readout was showing 

a 12.9- litre per 100km (22mpg) 

fuel burn, that’s somewhat higher 

than Mercedes-Benz’s combined 

cycle claim of 10.7l/100km 

(27mpg), but if that target is 

achievable then it deserves 

credit. For the record, on an easy 

100km/h cruise the dash panel 

readout sits at 7l/100km (40mpg), 

the engine largely unstressed at 

1400rpm. 

Personally, I was too preoccupied 

having fun in the estate 

to concentrate too much on 

economy, it’s an absolute blast to 

drive, everything it does it does so 

competently. 

I guess at $172,700 you would 

want that to be the case, but you 

do get a lot of car for the money 

and it is fully loaded with everything 

for comfort, convenience 

and safety. 

The C-Class isn’t big in statute 

but it is a capable five-seater, and 

in estate form it adds just that little 

bit of practicality, the load space 

will take in up to 490-litres and 

that easily translates into a multitude 

of cargo carrying options. 

The face of motoring is changing 

rapidly, there’s a global ground 

swell of rhetoric calling for greater 

emphasis on alternative fuels as 

opposed to the oil we pump out of 

the ground - electric and hydrogen-based 

alternatives are fast 

becoming the buzz words. 

That being the case, if there are 

buyers out there like me, who like 

the pumping sound that is only 

available from V8 power, then 

now is the time to buy. I’ll never 

be able to afford one, but I am 

certainly delighted for those who 

can find their way into one of 

the greatest driving experiences 

available in the market today.

New car care products on market 

A PREMIUM car care brand that has 

Royal approval is now on sale in New 

Zealand. 

Autoglym is offering a retail range of 18 

products, available in all Supercheap Auto 

stores across New Zealand. 

The product range includes the new 

Polar Series, a three-step, pressure washerapplied 

pre-wash, wash and protective 

coating system, along with other options 

for cleaning and protecting bodywork, 

and specialist treatments for glass, interior 

finishes and wheels and tyres. 

Autoglym was founded in the United 

Kingdom in 1965 with the tagline ‘passion 

for perfection’ and has lived up to that ever 

since, gaining an international reputation for 

high quality products that are sold in more 

than 45 countries. 

The company’s original range was an 

offering of 11 products including polishes, a 

sealant, a paint renovator and glass, interior 

and wheel cleaners. 

Initially, they were only available to 

professional detailers working in garages, 

workshops and valet operations. Now, 

while still the chosen option for the car care 

industry, Autoglym has extended its range 

to more than 65 specialty retail products. 

The result of more than 40 years of 

research and development – and with 

several patents for all-new technology – 

Autoglym products combine ease of use, 

value and reliability with excellent aftersales 

service. 

The company also boasts a royal 

connection, with Royal Warrants from Her 

Majesty, the Queen, and HRH, The Prince 

of Wales. 

Look closely and you will see two coats of 

arms on the company’s product labels. These 

are the marks of a Royal Warrant, an official 

seal of sovereign approval, which is a mark 

of recognition for those who have supplied 

goods or services to the households of the 

senior royals for at least five years, and who 

have an ongoing trading arrangement. 

Autoglym is the sole supplier of car care 

products to the Royal household, which 

means the company’s products are used on 

all vehicles in the Royal fleet including state 

cars, Royal estate vehicles and state coaches. 

As a result, the Autoglym range gets put to 

the test on vehicles that are both brand new 

and hundreds of years old and is relied upon 

to give the best results every time. 

Around 800 companies currently hold 

Royal Warrants, which come up for renewal 

every five years. At that point it has to be 

proved that the business still meets all 

the criteria set by the Warrant Holders 

Association and the individual royal 

household – and Autoglym has continued to 

do this since its first appointment in 1991. 

Autoglym is distributed in New Zealand 

and Australia by Sydney-based company, 

GnG Sales. “There has been a very limited 

distribution of retail packaged Autoglym 

products into New Zealand. Mainly it’s 

been our professional range though, which 

means it has been used by pro detailers, 

amongst others and until now customers 

have generally only seen the brilliant end 

result,” says GnG Sales’ head of marketing, 

David Turney. 

“Now any New Zealander who is 

passionate about their car can buy the 

products appropriate to their need.’’ 

Mr Turney says GnG will be working to 

expand and leverage greater awareness of 

the brand through the country.

[Edition datE] 

Buying a lifestyle block 

City life getting you down? Dreaming of 

living in the country, where you ‘commute’ 

from the breakfast table to a barn or your 

home office? It might look like an easy life but 

buying a lifestyle property can be a complex 

business. 

While living in the country has much 

to recommend it, you need to do more 

preparation for buying a place there than 

buying a pair of gumboots and comparing 

the merits of ride-on mowers. 

“We recommend comprehensive due 

diligence when buying any kind of property, 

but rural ones come with a whole extra set of 

things to think about compared to buying a 

straightforward stand-alone home in town,” 

says Kevin Lampen-Smith, chief executive of 

the Real Estate Authority (REA). 

Lampen-Smith says that while it’s tempting 

to focus on the dream wish list for your 

bucolic bolt-hole, but you should also 

compile a list of issues to be aware of (and 

people who can help you learn about them). 

“If the property you like is being sold by a 

licensed real estate agent, remember that you 

can ask them anything you like about it,” he 

says. 

“Rural real estate agents have special skills 

in this area and they’ll be able to help you 

figure out what information you need to 

make a well-informed decision. It’s also a 

good idea to get your lawyer onboard early to 

check titles, consents and other information 

that you gather in the process.” 

It might feel like you’re getting away from 

it all when moving out of town, but rural 

developments can be subject to rules that 

restrict what you can do. Lampen-Smith 

recommends getting your lawyer to check if 

there are any covenants on the property that 

might have an impact on a future business 

you may run there, or any planned building 

projects. You don’t want to invest in an 

alpaca herd for your new dream property 

only to find that it’s not allowed to carry any 

livestock. Similarly, it would be tough to 

discover that your subdivision plans are not 

permitted by council rules. 

Be aware that there may be tax implications 

if you’re planning to use the property as a 

business, Lampen-Smith says. 

“In general, if it is currently being used for 

a business that is tax-registered – whether 

that’s selling organic eggs, grazing stock 

or running a B&B – then the seller will 

probably add GST to the price. This means 

you’ll pay an extra 15 per cent, unless you are 

also registered for GST. Ask your lawyer or 

accountant to check if the house or any other 

buildings on the property are GST-exempt. 

They will also be able to advise you on 

whether you need to be GST-registered.” 

A good place to start when trying to figure 

out what tax obligations might attach to your 

purchase of the property is Inland Revenue’s 

property tax decision tree (available at 

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

but keep in mind that it is always best to 

seek professional advice before you make a 

decision. 

Rural properties (like all properties) can 

also have easements on the title that relate to 

access, water or power. Lampen-Smith says 

you should ask your lawyer to check the title 

and work out what the easements are, and 

how they will have an impact on your rights 

and responsibilities as an owner. 

“For example, if the title allows a neighbour 

access to a piece of their land through your 

property, do you have any right to limit the 

type and frequency of that access if you buy 

it?” 

Be aware too that there may be ‘unofficial’ 

easements operating; the incumbent owners 

may have an informal arrangement with their 

neighbours, but this may not remain when 

the property passes into new ownership. 

Things that we take for granted when living 

in urban environments, like water, sewage 

and access, can require more involvement in 

rural areas. Check the water sources for the 

property – if it has its own bore, are there 

limits on the amount of water you can draw 

from it? What is the process for ensuring it is 

safe to drink? What happens to wastewater 

and sewage? Are you prepared for life with 

a septic tank? Will the current owner ensure 

the tank is empty as a condition of sale? 

When it comes to access, will you share 

a private road or right of way with other 

properties? What will be your responsibilities 

and potential costs for maintaining it? Don’t 

forget that your neighbours may be involved 

in unglamorous activities at ungodly hours – 

check the zoning rules for nearby properties 

if you’re worried about noise, smells or traffic. 

You might think it’s lovely to have stock 

grazing out the window, but are you ready for 

a milk tanker driving past every morning? Be 

aware that the LIM will not always alert you 

to any pending or current NZTA decisions 

regarding local highway linkages that often 

divert traffic away from urban centres in 

favour of immediate rural areas on the town 

boundary. Check with NZTA if you think 

your property could be affected by road 

changes. 

“Like all property purchases, buying a place 

in the country requires careful, objective 

consideration,” Lampen-Smith says. 

“There are lots of great things about living 

on the land, but it’s best to be realistic about 

it. You don’t want to be like the former townie 

I met a few weeks ago, who mournfully told 

me that their lifestyle block had become “a 

life sentence”. Do your homework and you’re 

far more likely to live happily ever after in 

rural bliss.”

Buying a property at 

auction 

If you’re keen on a property that’s going 

to auction, preparation is everything. A 

successful bid means you are immediately 

committed to buy the property; you cannot 

seek legal advice, arrange finance or even get 

the property valued or inspected when the 

auction is over. 

That means you need to do all your due 

diligence in advance of auction day. Before 

the auction (usually after you’ve viewed the 

property), the real estate agent working for 

the seller should provide you with a copy of 

the terms and Contract of Sale, which sets 

out what chattels will be included with the 

property. This document will also tell you 

the amount of the deposit to be paid by the 

successful bidder, and when the balance of 

the payment must be made. These documents 

should be checked by your lawyer. 

You should consider having the property 

checked (preferably by a qualified inspector 

who has professional indemnity insurance 

and carries out their work in accordance 

with the New Zealand Property Inspection 

Standards and obtain an up-to-date Land 

Information Memorandum (LIM) from the 

local council. It’s a good idea to get a valuation 

of the property, especially as you are likely to 

require one if you need a loan. Some websites 

provide free estimated market values that may 

be useful. 

There’s a lot to take in at an auction and 

it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. If you can, go 

along to one as an observer to see how the 

process works before you actually want to 

buy. Remember that the auctioneer is working 

for the seller and they want to get the highest 

price possible for the property. 

At an auction, the auctioneer will read the 

terms and conditions of the sale aloud and 

announce if a reserve price has been set. They 

must also state whether the seller has reserved 

the right to bid during the auction. This is 

called ‘vendor bidding’ and it is only allowed 

under strict circumstances, such as when the 

property being auctioned has a reserve price; 

when the reserve price has not yet been met; 

and the auctioneer has made it clear that the 

bid being made is a vendor bid. They must do 

this by saying, ‘this is a vendor bid’ rather than 

using any jargon. 

Auctioneers sometimes use vendor bids 

as a way to start off the bidding, or to move 

the bidding towards the reserve price. 

Vendor bids can be made by the auctioneer, 

or another person working on behalf of 

the seller, such as a real estate agent. An 

auctioneer can also use a pre-auction offer to 

start the bidding. 

The auction continues until there is only 

one bidder left. At that stage, if the reserve 

price is reached or beaten, the highest bidder 

will be the successful buyer. If the reserve 

price isn’t reached, the seller can tell the 

auctioneer to stop the auction without selling 

the property. 

If the auction is stopped without a sale, the 

highest bidder may have the opportunity to 

negotiate with the seller (via their agent) after 

the auction. If this happens, the terms and 

conditions of the auction no longer apply and 

you can negotiate new ones.

Property Market Update 

with Harcourts Four Seasons 

Real estate sells 

during holidays 

It might seem a quiet time of the year when everything grinds to a halt yet 

properties do sell over the Christmas and New Year holiday period. 

“Sales in the holiday period can be good,” says 

Ross Mitchell, manager of Harcourts Four Seasons in 

Lincoln. 

Property sales for December and January are always 

very good and just slightly behind other months. 

For the eight Harcourts Four Seasons offices across 

Canterbury, sales written up in January have been 

trending upwards over recent years with January 2019 

registering a slightly higher figure than for January 

2018, which was also above the figures for January 

2017. 

At this time of year most properties are looking 

their best making it a great time to sell. Ross also 

says there are always people looking to buy and the 

holiday period gives them time to research and view 

properties. 

“People go away on holiday and sit around and 

discuss their future plans. Mums and dads have more 

time to sit down and chat about what they want to 

do. It is not uncommon for them to come back from 

holiday and immediately put their plans into action. 

They start looking or put their house on the market,” 

explains Ross. 

With daylight saving there can be more time and 

energy both for looking at properties and keeping the 

one you are selling tidy. 

“I’ve personally written up contracts in the days 

between Christmas and New Year and all the agents 

at our branch have made a sale in the first week in 

January,” says Ross. 

Unlike other businesses, there are always real 

estate agents available over the Christmas and New 

Year period to help people looking to buy or sell a 

property. With cell phones and portable laptops, 

agents are accessible even when on holiday. Most 

check their phones and emails daily and respond 

promptly. 

If thinking of selling your property, why put it off 

at this time of year because you have the idea no one 

will be looking over Christmas and New Year. Ross 

says, many of their agents do not take an official 

holiday at this time of year, and there is still plenty of 

activity in the market. 

Serious buyers may be people wanting to get their 

children into a certain school zone or on transfer 

with their job. Lincoln University personnel on 

secondment may be looking for a home or people 

who have children who will be attending Lincoln 

University in the coming year might be aiming to 

relocate closer to the institution.
