Maddie loses<br />

Fast food junkie’s<br />
dramatic weight<br />
loss<br />
• By Devon Bolger<br />
JULIET SHERRIFF used to spend<br />
about $150 a week on takeaways. Now<br />
she is 46kg lighter after using a mobile<br />
phone app to lose weight.<br />
At her heaviest, she was 115.3kg and<br />
now two years later she is maintaining<br />
her goal weight for the first time and<br />
now weighs 69kg.<br />
The 35-year-old said she was<br />
always slim as a child, but after a<br />
busy professional life had her eating<br />
takeaways on the run for breakfast,<br />
lunch and dinner, the weight soon<br />
began to creep on.<br />
“After my pregnancy, I got up to<br />
a really high weight. It was hard<br />
mentally, as I used to be so slim<br />
growing up. I remember going to a<br />
market and pulling open my wallet,<br />
the stallholder saw my ID from when I<br />
was slimmer and said: “Oh my God, is<br />
that you?”<br />
“This journey was never about what<br />
other people thought of me, I wanted<br />
to do this for me and do this for my<br />
daughter, Zoey who is four, but that<br />
really, really sucked to hear,” she said.<br />
Sherriff said she started using the<br />
myWW wellness app in 2018 and<br />
was able to change her mindset and<br />
embrace a more holistic approach to<br />
her health. • Turn to page 4<br />

Former<br />
council<br />
employee<br />
back in<br />
court<br />
• By Devon Bolger<br />
THE WAY has been cleared for a<br />
community group to try and get<br />
back about $18,500 stolen by a<br />
former district council employee<br />
they trusted.<br />
Lisa Elaine Larkin, 51, will be<br />
sentenced in the Christchurch<br />
District Court in late October<br />
after pleading guilty to two<br />
charges of theft by a person in a<br />
special relationship and one of<br />
forgery with intent to obtain a<br />
benefit.<br />
Last week, Larkin abandoned<br />
a legal bid in the district court<br />
where she had intended to dispute<br />
the amount it was claimed<br />
had been stolen from <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
SeniorNet’s bank account.<br />
The former district council<br />
community development adviser<br />
was convicted in May of stealing<br />
about $18,500 from the <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
SeniorNet’s bank account.<br />
The group says it has affected<br />
their ability to help elderly in the<br />
district.<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> SeniorNet chairman<br />
Terry Pierson said reparations<br />
would be sought from Larkin<br />
when she is sentenced on<br />
October 28. • Turn to page 6<br />

Maddie recovering<br />
after removal of second transplanted kidney<br />
• By Devon Bolger<br />
WEST MELTON teenager<br />
Maddie Collins has had her<br />
second transplanted kidney<br />
removed after her body rejected<br />
it.<br />
The 16-year-old is now reliant<br />
on dialysis to keep her alive.<br />
She has<br />
been battling<br />
the<br />
kidney<br />
disease,<br />
nephrotic<br />
syndrome<br />
for several<br />
years.<br />
Sarah<br />
Manson-Collins<br />
Maddie’s<br />
mother,<br />
Sarah<br />
Manson-Collins, said the kidney,<br />
which was transplanted in<br />
2018, was removed on July 28<br />
following a steady decline in its<br />
function.<br />
“She has really improved with<br />
the kidney gone, we don’t have<br />
any temperatures anymore.<br />
We just have the pain from the<br />
surgery. I think it was the best<br />
decision,” she said.<br />
Manson-Collins said Maddie<br />
now has to continue with fivehour<br />
hemodialysis sessions three<br />
times a week for the next month.<br />
“We can’t use her peritoneal<br />
dialysis tube for another month<br />
because shes had surgery.<br />
“It is a better treatment<br />
because she can just hook<br />
herself up overnight and<br />
sleep while it’s happening and<br />
disconnect herself from it in the<br />
morning.”<br />
The best way forward for<br />
Maddie now is to have a period<br />
of stability on overnight dialysis<br />
before the search for another<br />
transplant begins again, she said.<br />

Maddie, the family still has<br />
hope.<br />
“We have a new paired exchange<br />
programme between<br />
New Zealand and Australia<br />
now. There is starting to be more<br />
awareness around people being<br />
donors so as long as we can keep<br />
pushing that message then we<br />
have hope.”<br />
Maddie received what was<br />
termed a ‘miracle’ second kidney<br />
transplant in 2018 after being<br />
told there was only a two per<br />
cent chance of finding a match in<br />
New Zealand.<br />
The first was donated six years<br />
ago by her father Adam but her<br />
body rejected it as well.<br />
There have been a series of<br />
ups and downs since the transplant.<br />
In December last year the<br />
declining function of the kidney<br />
became clear through blood tests<br />
showing high creatinine levels.<br />
The family didn’t expect to be<br />
able to find the second kidney<br />
match and were planning a trip<br />
to The John Hopkins Hospital in<br />
Baltimore, United States, to find<br />
one when they were notified an<br />
organ had been found.<br />

Arrests after<br />
gate thefts<br />
• By Devon Bolger<br />
POLICE HAVE made a major<br />
breakthrough over farm gate<br />
thefts in the district, arresting a<br />
man and a woman from Oxford.<br />
A police patrol stopped a vehicle<br />
in the Darfield area about 3.30am<br />
last Wednesday which led to the<br />
arrest of a 37-year-old woman<br />
and a 38-year-old man. A large<br />
number of stolen farm gates were<br />
found on their property, said<br />
Senior Sergeant Harker.<br />
He said the gates were being<br />
sold on social media.<br />
The arrested pair will face a<br />
number of charges in the Christchurch<br />
District Court on <strong>August</strong> 24.<br />
“It was the great work of<br />
Constable Hamish Caird of the<br />
Darfield Police that led to these<br />
arrests.”<br />
Police were patrolling the area<br />
specifically looking for those<br />
responsible for the gate thefts.<br />
Harker said anyone who has<br />
had gates stolen but have not<br />
reported it should phone the Darfield<br />
Police.<br />
There have been about 20-30<br />
incidents of gates and fencing being<br />
stolen across <strong>Selwyn</strong> over the<br />
last few weeks.<br />
This includes seven incidents<br />

School options open for consultation<br />
• By Devon Bolger<br />
A SECOND Rolleston College<br />
campus or entirely new school<br />
are the options being considered<br />
for future secondary school<br />
education in the area.<br />
The Canterbury National<br />
Education Growth Plan 2030<br />
predicts the area’s current high<br />
school could reach its capacity of<br />
1800 students by 2027/28. It currently<br />
has 976 students.<br />
It is anticipated an additional<br />
600-800 secondary-aged students<br />
will require access to a<br />
local state school in the area by<br />
2030.<br />
It comes as the Ministry of<br />
Education releases proposed<br />
new primary school zones for<br />
Rolleston.<br />
The community will get a<br />
chance to have their say on the<br />
amendments.<br />
“This will minimise the risk<br />
of overcrowding at each school,<br />
as well as determining the<br />
enrolment scheme boundaries<br />
for the new school in East<br />
Rolleston when it opens in<br />
2022,” it said in the consultation<br />
document.<br />
Public consultation is also<br />
under way, through D & G Consulting,<br />
on the options to ensure<br />
future high-schoolers are catered<br />
for in the area.<br />
One of the options being<br />
considered is a second Rolleston<br />
College campus on a different<br />
site.<br />
“This second campus<br />
would have the same<br />
board of trustees and<br />
management team. There<br />
would also be a single vision<br />
and identity for the<br />
school,” the consultation<br />
document says.<br />
Different ways this option<br />
could work are also<br />
being considered including<br />
students being separated into<br />
junior and senior campuses.<br />
Rolleston College principal<br />
Rachel Skelton said she supports<br />
the idea of a second campus.<br />
“A second campus would allow<br />
Rachel<br />
Skelton<br />
cohesion and avoid our town<br />
being divided into two separate<br />
zones.<br />
“There are a number of<br />
possibilities for the community<br />
to consider in<br />
terms of what that could<br />
look like.”<br />
The search area for a<br />
potential site is in the<br />
south of Rolleston, about<br />
1.5-2km from the college.<br />
A Ministry of Education<br />
spokeswoman said<br />
it was unable to provide detail on<br />
the sites being considered at this<br />
stage, so as not to prejudice or<br />
disadvantage our ability to carry<br />
out commercial negotiations.<br />
The other option being<br />
PLAN: Options<br />
for additional<br />
high school<br />
facilities in<br />
Rolleston<br />
include a second<br />
campus of the<br />
current school or<br />
an entirely new<br />
one.<br />
considered by the ministry is a<br />
completely new high school.<br />
“It would have its own<br />
identity, own governance and<br />
own uniform. The design of<br />
such a school would be<br />
developed with input from the<br />
community.”<br />
Public meetings have been<br />
planned at Clearview School<br />
on <strong>August</strong> 10 and 11, 7-8pm to<br />
gather further feedback on the<br />
issues.<br />

their pharmacy and get tested for<br />
OSA straight away.<br />
The overnight home sleep test<br />
allows a person to sleep in the<br />
comfort of their own bed. No doctor<br />
referral is required. The results of<br />
the home sleep test are assessed<br />
by a sleep physician and provided<br />
7-10 days later. If a person’s results<br />
show they have OSA they can begin<br />
a 4 week trial of CPAP therapy.<br />
If you think you’re at risk of sleep<br />

sleep test.<br />

“It has had a real affect. It<br />
means we haven’t been able<br />
to expand our teaching materials<br />
or other resources,”<br />
he said.<br />
“We used to own all of<br />
the computers we use but<br />
today if the person hasn’t<br />
got a computer then we are<br />
in trouble. We just don’t<br />
have the funds to go and<br />
buy new equipment.”<br />
The group, which is run<br />
by volunteers, teaches<br />
people over the age of 50<br />
about technology and how<br />
to use it.<br />
Pierson said part of the<br />
money stolen came from a<br />
$7000 term deposit.<br />
“One day she [Larkin]<br />
said she could get a much<br />
better return for our term<br />
deposit by shifting it from<br />
BNZ to Kiwibank. We said<br />
well if you think you can<br />
get a better return then go<br />
ahead. Little did we know it<br />
would last two days before<br />
being transferred out of the<br />
new account.”<br />
Terry Pierson <br />
Other money stolen was<br />
funding given to the group<br />
by the Federation of New<br />
Zealand SeniorNet Societies.<br />
“Every term we submit<br />
an attendance register of<br />
those that have been in<br />
and the hours they have<br />
worked. It adds up over a<br />
term, we put something<br />
like 50 hours in.<br />
“The federation then<br />
pays us back $1.25 an hour<br />
per person. Little did we<br />
know Lisa had changed the<br />
account with the federation<br />
from our usual BNZ<br />
account to the Kiwibank<br />
one.”<br />
Pierson said the Kiwibank<br />
account was set up<br />
with two signatories but<br />
only one was required to<br />
make a withdrawal.<br />
Pierson said Larkin’s<br />
deception began to unravel<br />
when the district council<br />
called questioning Prezzy<br />
cards associated with the<br />
group.<br />
“We said: ‘What Prezzy<br />
cards?’ It turns out some<br />
of our funds had been converted<br />
into the cards.<br />
“They started to dig<br />
and of course that put our<br />
antennas up and we started<br />
backtracking on what the<br />
hell was going on. We were<br />
lucky to have a fantastic<br />
police officer who investigated<br />
everything very<br />
thoroughly.”<br />

responds to pool closure claims<br />
• By Devon Bolger<br />
THE COMMITTEE responsible<br />
for running the Halkett Pool<br />
is rejecting claims that poor<br />
management led to it breaching<br />
pool water safety standards.<br />
Last week <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> reported<br />
the district council voted<br />
to close the pool for the season as<br />
well as consider permanent closure<br />
under the Long Term Plan.<br />
It is due to health and safety<br />
concerns at the pool which<br />
includes having 11 days in a row<br />
of non-compliant water readings<br />
in January.<br />
A spokeswoman for the<br />
Halkett Community Centre<br />
Committee said: “Up until two<br />
years ago we had no issues with<br />
our pool, at which time the<br />
council employed a new aquatic<br />
centre manager and all of our issues<br />
have started since then.”<br />
The spokeswoman said the<br />
district council installed a new<br />
chemical dispenser two years ago<br />
without consultation or notification.<br />
“We were advised by the<br />
aquatic manager that we were<br />
REJECTED: The Halkett Pool has been closed due to health and safety concerns but the<br />
committee which manages it has said that it is not their fault. <br />
not to control or alter the new<br />
dispenser as they would take<br />
care of this and adjust as and if<br />
required. They started our pump<br />
and controller at the beginning<br />
of our season and incorrectly set<br />
the chlorine level at zero themselves.”<br />
Active <strong>Selwyn</strong> manager James<br />
Richmond said the committee<br />
was in fact allowed to control the<br />
dispenser.<br />
“Operating it is part of the<br />
day to day running of the pools,<br />
done by the pool committees.<br />
The controller committees are<br />
informed that if there are issues<br />
with the dispenser they are to<br />
follow the supplied Pool Water<br />
Risk Management Plan or contact<br />
staff. Neither occurred in<br />
this case.<br />
“A staff member did turn on<br />
the pool filtration and added<br />
chlorine to the water at the<br />
Halkett Pool last year, but did<br />
not modify the controller as it requires<br />
the chlorine to have been<br />
in the pool for 24 hours first.”<br />
One of the issues the district<br />
council had with the committee<br />
was that it had no members present<br />
at a pool operations course<br />
last year.<br />
The committee spokeswoman<br />
said: “We were not advised that<br />
more than one person could<br />
attend this course and due to<br />
unforeseen last minute work<br />
commitments at a busy time of<br />
the year the committee member<br />
could not attend, however, offered<br />
to attend another course.<br />
“Why did the council not run<br />
this course earlier in the year<br />
rather than leaving it till last minute<br />
when pools were due to open?”<br />
Richmond refutes this saying<br />
all of the committees were<br />
informed of the course five and a<br />
half weeks beforehand and multiple<br />
spaces were available.<br />
“We did not receive a response<br />
from the Halkett committee<br />
until over a month later, after we<br />
had sent them a reminder. Other<br />
pool committees had already<br />
booked, with one sending five<br />
members to attend the course.”<br />

Land could be set aside<br />
for reserve in Lincoln<br />
LAND NEAR the old<br />
Lincoln Country Club<br />
site has been set aside<br />
and could become a<br />
community reserve.<br />
The district council was<br />
considering subdividing<br />
and selling the land around<br />
and opposite the old club<br />
on Millpond Lane, adjacent<br />
to the LII River.<br />
It had proposed subdividing<br />
it into seven lots.<br />
However, taking into<br />
account feedback from the<br />
community, it has agreed<br />
to put five lots up for sale<br />
on the northern side of the<br />
property.<br />
A district council spokesman<br />
said the remaining two<br />
lots will be considered for a<br />
possible future reserve.<br />
A report on the matter<br />
will be presented to district<br />
councillors at a later date.<br />

Lot numbers<br />

Millpond<br />
Lane have<br />
been set<br />
aside by<br />
the district<br />
council for<br />
a potential<br />

reserve.<br />
The next steps for the<br />
project include appointing<br />
real estate agents to sell the<br />
five lots.<br />
“Documentation is being<br />
prepared to issue to real<br />
estate agents for the sale of<br />
the sections.”<br />
The work is a part of a<br />
plan for the district council<br />
to sell some of its residential<br />
sections over the next<br />
three months.<br />

How do you live the life you’ve always wanted?<br />
There are many things to consider when<br />
making the decision to move into a lifestyle<br />
village. Everyone has different requirements,<br />
whether it be a true community atmosphere<br />
with an inclusive social scene, or be situated<br />
in a new suburb where everything you need is<br />
close by, or well-designed quality home which<br />
supports and caters to all aging requirements..<br />
Whatever your fancy, it’s rather easy to see<br />
Woodcroft Estate as your new home. “Our<br />
residents are better off in every way,” says<br />
Manor Group CEO Adam Yates. “Here, they<br />
enjoy a warm, safe and relaxing environment<br />
within a friendly community, while the onsite<br />
manager looks after any concerns or<br />
maintenance issues. “All those jobs you had<br />
to do to maintain your old house are taken<br />
care of by the village staff.. “They manage any<br />
repairs and maintenance to your home, looking<br />
after the gardens and lawn mowing, providing<br />
security, lighting and even washing windows.”<br />
But there is something even more special<br />
about Woodcroft Estate.<br />
A model of home ownership that<br />
benefits you more<br />
“Our residents are better off financially”<br />
says Adam. “Our Next Generation model is<br />
designed to be much fairer than traditional<br />
models, allowing residents to receive the<br />
capital gain when the unit is sold, less a small<br />
fee. Our aim is to free our residents from<br />
their worries, while residents get the financial<br />
freedom that comes from retaining and<br />
building on their equity.”<br />
The Next Generation Model gives you<br />
options, enabling you to gift your chosen<br />
charity or leave a legacy to your grandchildren<br />
– contributing to their education, or<br />
even their first home!<br />
Life is for living<br />
For those who have already made the move<br />
to Woodcroft Estate – talk revolves excitedly<br />
around the brand new Pavilion. Providing<br />
a dynamic new social hub – there is much<br />
discussion of quiz nights, dances, live music<br />
and of course all kinds of exercise and craft<br />
classes. Outside a new BBQ area will be just<br />
the ticket for gathering in the sunshine.<br />
At Woodcroft Estate – you become an integral<br />
part of village life – contributing in ways you<br />
WOODCROFT ESTATE<br />
A retirement village with a difference<br />
never thought possible in a lifestyle estate.<br />
Woodcroft Estate residents have never<br />
been happier – residing comfortably in the<br />
fast growing and vibrant new township of<br />
Rolleston – where a library and community<br />
centre are close by. There is a swimming<br />
pool and two medical centres, as well as two<br />
supermarkets. There are even hearing and eye<br />
specialists! Plenty of cafes to meet friends,<br />
and delicious bakeries for that morning tea –<br />
everything you need to feel right at home.<br />

Successful<br />
AGM for<br />
hospital group<br />
THE FRIENDS of Ellesmere<br />
Hospital’s annual general<br />
meeting was a success with local<br />
and regional health experts in<br />
attendance.<br />
The meeting was held at the<br />
Leeston Community Centre with<br />
special guests including Win<br />
MacDonald who is the rural hospitals<br />
manager for the Canterbury<br />
District Health Board and a number<br />
of district councillors.<br />
Group member Geoff Lill said:<br />
“Councillor Grant Miller spoke<br />
on behalf of the district council<br />
and talked about the renewed<br />
focus of the council on supporting<br />
healthcare in the community.’’<br />
The guest speaker was Mike<br />
Hobbs who was, until his recent<br />
retirement, the local GP in Leeston<br />
for more than 40 years.<br />
“He spoke of his close association<br />
with the hospital as superintendent,<br />
the importance of the hospital<br />
services to our local community,<br />
and some of the changes he had<br />
seen over his time there.”<br />

A GROUP from the Malvern<br />
area are shaving their mullets<br />
to raise money for the Motor<br />
Neurone Disease Association<br />
New Zealand.<br />
Johnny Barnard, Finn Jacobs,<br />
Tobi Moore, Ryan Thomas,<br />
Todd Thomas, Cole Atutolu,<br />
Jack Barnes, William Wilson<br />
and Dylan Duffy are participating<br />
in a shave-off event at the<br />
Kirwee Rugby Club on Saturday.<br />
Motor neurone disease causes<br />
the death of nerve cells (neurones)<br />
that control the muscles<br />
enabling movement, speech,<br />
swallowing and breathing. With<br />
no nerves to activate them, these<br />
muscles gradually weaken and<br />
waste away.<br />
Tobi came up with the initial<br />
idea in memory of his, and<br />
cousin Johnny’s, uncle George<br />
Redmond who succumbed to<br />
the disease earlier this year.<br />
Finn was also interested in<br />
participating as he lost his great<br />
grandmother to MND as well.<br />
The group is hoping to raise<br />
between $5000 and $10,000.<br />
“In memory of George Redmond<br />
we invite the community<br />
to help us raise funds to assist<br />
those around the country battling<br />
this incurable disease,”<br />
organisers Jan Thomas and<br />
Vanessa Moore said.<br />
At present the group has<br />
raised $4500.<br />

To join the group and have<br />
your mullet shaved, you must<br />
either obtain more than $50 of<br />

the event, or offer your mullet<br />

TWO ROLLESTON Probus<br />
clubs have celebrated significant<br />
milestones.<br />
The Rolleston Combined club<br />
recognised 15 years providing fun<br />
and friendship to retirees.<br />
A special morning tea was held<br />
to mark the occasion.<br />
Said Probus South Pacific New<br />
Zealand representative Margaret<br />
Drake: “Members were happy to<br />
be meeting again after several<br />
months of observing lockdown<br />
restrictions. Several charter members<br />
were in attendance.”<br />
The Rolleston Central Club<br />
celebrated its first birthday a<br />
fortnight ago. A morning tea<br />

BACKYARD CRITTERS<br />
Mike Bowie is an ecologist who specialises in entomology<br />
(insects and other invertebrates). Each week he introduces a<br />
new species found in his backyard at Lincoln. His column aims<br />
to raise public awareness of biodiversity, the variety of living<br />
things around us. Check out the full list of invertebrates found<br />
at www.inaturalist.org/projects/backyard-biodiversity-bugs-in-my-lincolnsection<br />
Wood-boring insect will<br />
attack native species<br />
HOUSEHOLD borer,<br />
woodworm, or the<br />
common furniture beetle<br />
are all common names for<br />
Anobium punctatum.<br />
This wood-boring insect<br />
is found in untreated<br />
timbers and particularly in<br />
older houses or furniture<br />
in temperate parts of the<br />
world including New<br />
Zealand.<br />
Adults are brown in<br />
colour, vary from 2.5 to<br />
5mm in length and have a<br />
monk-like hood over their<br />
head.<br />
The creamy white<br />
C-shaped larval stage<br />
is the one that does the<br />
damage by boring an<br />
extensive network of<br />
holes for two to five years<br />
depending on temperature<br />
and humidity.<br />
Their presence is often<br />
detected by the 1-1.5mm<br />
diameter exit holes or the<br />
piles of fine wood dust or<br />
DAMAGE: Borer can make an extensive network<br />
of holes in timber.<br />
frass under the infected<br />
wood.<br />
In New Zealand the<br />
borer prefers sapwood<br />
but attacks a large range<br />
of exotic and native<br />
species, more commonly<br />
in radiata pine, kahikatea<br />
and rimu.<br />
Adults emerge between<br />
October and January but<br />
peak in December.<br />

Week of celebrating<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong>’s diversity<br />
Celebrations of <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s cultural diversity will expand this year with CultureFest kicking off a<br />
week of new events.<br />
The ever popular CultureFest, which draws thousands of people each year, will mark the start of<br />
the new Culture Week from 18–24 October.<br />
has been increasing demand for and interest expressed in workshops and displays that<br />
showcase traditional sports, dancing and music of different cultures. The Council and Lincoln<br />
University, who have partnered previously to deliver CultureFest, with a range of other cultural<br />
groups and clubs, have worked together to set up this new week.<br />
The success of CultureFest and the workshops that have taken place as well as the interest<br />
we have been receiving, suggest there is space in the community for a bigger celebration, that<br />
supports strong community club and group participation , Council Group Manager Community<br />
Services and Facilities Denise Kidd says.<br />
“Having Culture Week allows us to build on the huge success of CultureFest, offering<br />
opportunities to grow our knowledge of the many different, vibrant cultures that make up our<br />
people here in <strong>Selwyn</strong>. It’s an opportunity for people who haven’t been able to take part in<br />
CultureFest, as well as giving popular workshops a chance to go deeper and give people a<br />
richer flavour of their heritage.”<br />
The Council is now taking expressions of interest from people wanting to be involved in<br />
CultureFest and the wider Culture Week. Any individual, club or group interested in performing<br />
on stage or being a stallholder at CultureFest, or running a workshop, during Culture Week can<br />
find a form at selwyn.govt.nz/cultureweek.<br />

Rates accounts and<br />
payment options<br />
Rates invoices for the period 1 July <strong>2020</strong> to 30 September<br />
<strong>2020</strong> should have arrived in your letterboxes or inboxes.<br />
You can check out the changes in your rates, by visiting<br />
selwyn.govt.nz/rates and clicking on property search.<br />
If you pay by direct debit you will receive information on<br />
your new direct debit in a separate letter. If you’re on direct<br />
debit then, as long as you have sufficient funds in your bank<br />
account to cover the payments on the due dates, you will not<br />
be charged penalties.<br />
For ratepayers not on a direct debit, rates are payable in four<br />
instalments – 15 September, 15 December, 15 March and 15<br />
June. Penalties are charged on instalments not paid in full by<br />
the due dates and there is a further penalty if rates are not<br />
paid by 30 June.<br />
Your rates invoice details the rates assessed for your<br />
property for both the Council and Environment Canterbury.<br />
The Council assesses a general rate, based on your<br />
property’s capital value, district-wide targeted rates, plus<br />
other targeted rates based on where you live, or the services<br />
you receive. We also act as agent for the collection of<br />
Environment Canterbury rates within <strong>Selwyn</strong> district.<br />
The average rates increase for the <strong>2020</strong>/21 year is 1.6%,<br />
however this will vary for individual properties. Rates take<br />
account of capital values, as well any changes to your<br />
property, for example if you have built a house on your<br />
section, or if you have changed your wheelie bins.<br />
Ratepayers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic can<br />
apply for a rates payment extension, which is available for<br />
<strong>2020</strong>/21 rates.<br />
For more information about rates, including forms, payment<br />
options and extensions, visit selwyn.govt.nz/rates or phone<br />
0800 SELWYN (735 996).<br />
Apply for a<br />
rates rebate<br />
Ratepayers who are on a low income and who pay rates<br />
on the property they live in may be eligible for a rates<br />
rebate.<br />
If your gross household income to 31 March <strong>2020</strong> was<br />
$26,150 or less, and you pay rates on the property where<br />
you live, you may qualify for a rebate. If your income was<br />
more than this, you may still be eligible, depending on the<br />
total cost of your rates and the number of dependents in<br />
your family.<br />
To find out if you are eligible for a rates rebate, and to<br />
download forms, visit ratesrebates.govt.nz. Forms are<br />
also available from Council service centres.<br />
If you received a rates rebate last year you will<br />
automatically be sent an application form.<br />
To apply, you will need to provide accurate details and<br />
copies of your gross income, and that of any partner/<br />
spouse/joint homeowner who lives with you, for the tax<br />
year ended 31 March <strong>2020</strong>.<br />
You can apply for your rebate at any Council service centre.<br />

A shared cycle and car lane has been introduced<br />
on Tennyson Street, Rolleston, at the Tennyson<br />
Street and Lowes Road intersection. The shared<br />
lane, marked by a share arrow or sharrow, is for<br />
left-turning traffic and for all cyclists travelling<br />

road space and let drivers know that cyclists have<br />
access to the entire lane if necessary, to avoid<br />

FOCUS FOR<br />
FUTURE<br />
The Focus for Future -<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> Environmental Film<br />
Competition was ‘launched’<br />
in May for those who might<br />
want to start thinking about<br />
their production as we<br />
experienced various levels<br />
of lockdown. At the time we<br />
thought that we may even be<br />
looking at a “zoom” awards<br />
evening. We are very happy<br />
that with New Zealand’s rapid<br />
return to normality, it looks<br />
as if we will be again enjoying<br />
the Oscar like awards evening<br />
in September.<br />
Logan Edwards receives the 2019 Kea Trophy<br />
on behalf of his production team from<br />
Courtney Sheat from the Rata Foundation<br />
Invitations were sent out to schools and to others who might be interested in making<br />
a short film about their environmental concerns. In the past we have seen some<br />
amazingly creative and thought provoking productions and tremendous effort made by<br />
people of all ages to showcase their ideas about our world.<br />
There is still plenty of time left to plan and produce a film. People are also welcome to<br />
enter films they have previously made as long as they fit the criteria.<br />
In the past, the Awards Evening has always been an exciting event. Young and old<br />
enjoy watching all the short films before hearing from the judges. All film makers are<br />
presented with worthwhile prizes and there are special prizes for different categories,<br />
and for the winners of the Kea Trophy.<br />
All details of the competition, previous entries and the Awards’ Night<br />
in September, can be found on Eventbrite, or Lincoln Envirotown’s<br />

Tasty Bites<br />
Chicken drumsticks are hard to beat<br />
This recipe is a healthier<br />
way to make chicken<br />
drumsticks taste<br />
delicious – they are<br />
marinated in buttermilk<br />
and garlic for 24 hours<br />
before roasting. This<br />
ensures the chicken<br />
tenderises and gets<br />
infused with delicious<br />
flavours<br />
Buttermilk roast<br />
chicken with garlic<br />
6 servings<br />
Ingredients<br />
2 cup buttermilk<br />
2 tbsp olive oil<br />
10 garlic cloves, minced<br />
1 cup fresh parsley, minced<br />
1 tsp salt<br />
1 tsp black pepper, freshly ground<br />
12 chicken drumsticks<br />
Directions<br />
Combine buttermilk, olive<br />
oil, minced garlic, minced fresh<br />
parsley, salt and black pepper in a<br />
small bowl and whisk really well.<br />
Place chicken drumsticks in<br />
60<br />
a large freezer bag, pour %<br />
the<br />
buttermilk marinade over the<br />
chicken and distribute evenly over<br />
all chicken drumsticks. Squeeze as<br />
much air out of the freezer bag as<br />
FLAVOURFUL: Buttermilk roast chicken with garlic. Sticky sweet chilli drumsticks.<br />
possible and seal the bag.<br />
Refrigerate the marinated<br />
chicken for 24 hours.<br />
After your chicken has been<br />
marinated, preheat oven to<br />
200 deg C. Place chicken in<br />
a medium-sized casserole<br />
dish – and pour all of the<br />
marinade on top and around<br />
the chicken. Roast for 30-45min<br />
(depending on your oven), until<br />
chicken juices run clear and the<br />
drumsticks are browned and<br />
scorched in spots.<br />
If needed, grill for about<br />
5-10min to get more color.<br />
Serve immediately, use the<br />
sauce from the pan.<br />
Sticky sweet chilli<br />
drumsticks<br />
4 servings<br />
Ingredients<br />
¼ cup sweet chilli sauce<br />
3 tbsp sweet soy sauce<br />
1 tbsp garlic, minced<br />
½ tbsp ginger, minced<br />
½ tbsp onion powder<br />
½ tbsp smokey paprika<br />
1 tsp salt<br />
1 tsp pepper<br />
1.5kg chicken drumsticks<br />
To Serve<br />
Bok Choy<br />
Rice<br />
Directions<br />
Preheat oven to 180 deg C and<br />
line a baking tray with baking<br />
paper.<br />
Mix the marinade ingredients<br />
together in a bowl.<br />
Pour over the drumsticks and<br />
massage all over.<br />
Place the chicken drumsticks<br />
onto the lined tray. Pour over any<br />
excess marinade.<br />
Bake in the oven for 45-<br />
50min or until the outside of the<br />
drumsticks are caramelised and<br />
cooked through. Remove and let<br />
cool slightly.<br />
Lightly saute the bok choy in a<br />
pan with a little sesame oil. Serve<br />
immediately with rice.<br />

Gardening<br />
It’s not too early to plan for summer<br />
DEPENDING ON the weather<br />
in a particular year, <strong>August</strong><br />
can either feel like the depth of<br />
winter or the first hint of spring.<br />
Flowering annuals, camellias,<br />
rhododendrons and cherry trees<br />
brighten up gardens in this cold<br />
month. It’s an excellent time for<br />
planning your summer garden.<br />
Fruit trees<br />
Harvest time for citrus coming<br />
in warm, sheltered sites; late<br />
mandarins, lemons, limes, navel<br />
oranges and grapefruit.<br />
Spray pip and stone fruit trees<br />
with a final application of a<br />
copper compound before new<br />
season growth appears. This will<br />
also help prevent the outbreak of<br />
fungal diseases in spring.<br />
Feijoas can be ‘thinned out’<br />
now. These trees respond to careful<br />
pruning so they will produce<br />
more regular crops each year.<br />
Named variety feijoas eg Apollo<br />
are cutting grown, producing a<br />
more open, large bush.<br />
The traditional seedling grown<br />
feijoas are very dense growth<br />
habit. Remove any inward growing<br />
branches and where branches<br />
overlap. Maintain the ultimate<br />
height of the feijoas at 2.5-3m<br />
to allow for easier care of the<br />
tree while ensuring more than<br />

Towards the end of the month,<br />

Bring on SPRING<br />
The daylight hours are getting slightly<br />
longer which means the warmer,<br />
sunnier months aren’t too far away.<br />
Preparation is key this month. Here are<br />
a few things you can do<br />
• Dig through compost of existing<br />
gardens to give them a boost<br />
• Decide what veggies you want to<br />
grow<br />
• Pick your location and what you will<br />
plant in e.g. raised bed, patch, Vegepod<br />
• Get your growing mix – the quality<br />
of your mix determines the quality of<br />
plants you get<br />
Not sure where to start?<br />
We are here to help!<br />
lettuce, peppers, and tomatoes.<br />
Always use fresh, good quality<br />
seed mix. It provides all the nutrients<br />
growing seedlings need.<br />
Strawberries<br />
Young plants are now in active<br />
growth. As tempting as it is to<br />
leave them, remove any early<br />
flowers as they will not form edible<br />
fruit.<br />
A light mulch of pea straw or<br />
finely crushed bark helps reduce<br />
the impact of heavy downpours<br />
of rain and keeps the young<br />
plants ‘clean’ and healthy.<br />
Ornamental trees and<br />
shrubs<br />
Azaleas, camellias, daphnes,<br />
early rhododendrons and flowering<br />
cherry trees along with other<br />
winter flowering species are all at<br />
their best in <strong>August</strong>.<br />
Garden centres are well<br />
stocked right now with new<br />
specimens, so it’s an excellent<br />
time to purchase.<br />
Lawns<br />
A quiet month in lawn care with<br />
little grass growth in <strong>August</strong>.<br />
Note areas that have become<br />
excessively wet during winter.<br />

Ride-on electric<br />
mowing a reality<br />
Pure education is a big part of the job<br />
for Bruce Scott from Mean Green Mowers<br />
and that makes sense when introducing<br />
new technology to the market place.<br />
“People often have the image of a small<br />
mower with a power cord hanging out the<br />
side, and the odd jaw does drop when I<br />
tell them we have mowers with a 74 inch<br />
(1.88m) deck that can mow for up to eight<br />
hours continuously.”<br />
Uptake of the Mean Green brand has<br />
been encouraging in New Zealand, with<br />
mowers operating from Kerikeri to<br />
Invercargill. Most large contractors have<br />
a machine, as do many councils. One<br />
contractor uses a couple of Mean Green<br />
machines to mow Lincoln University<br />
where low-noise operation is really<br />
appreciated.<br />
“I mow our lifestyle property in Tai Tapu<br />
with a Nemesis 48 inch machine, and I<br />
always tell my partner I’m off to mow the<br />
lawns. She can’t hear the mower operating<br />
from inside, so if I disappear I want to<br />
avoid accusations that I slipped off down<br />
to the pub,” says Bruce.<br />
The mowers operate at less than half<br />
the noise levels of petrol mowers so you<br />
won’t bother the neighbours mowing on a<br />
Sunday morning.<br />
Imported from the United States Mean<br />
Green mowers are extremely well built<br />
and have plenty of instant mowing power<br />
available at the flick of a switch<br />
When considering the purchase of an<br />
electric mower, Bruce says it is important<br />
to have a close look at the numbers. A<br />
petrol machine could cost up to $16,250<br />
over a 10-year period on fuel alone. So<br />
this number needs to be added to the<br />
purchase price of a standard mower to<br />
compare apples with apples and it is an<br />
even wider gap when taking into account<br />
the low maintenance requirements of<br />
electric machines.<br />
“Everyone’s situation is different so I<br />
encourage clients to call for a chat. And,<br />
pop up and see a machine, we’re just in<br />
Tai Tapu.”<br />
For more information contact Bruce<br />
either by phone on 027 223 0<strong>05</strong>4 or<br />

Farm vehicle maintenance saves<br />
Farm vehicles can get a hard life,<br />
being driven around the paddocks and<br />
over rough roads. With so much work<br />
to be done on the farm their regular<br />
maintenance can get overlooked.<br />
The effect of ignoring regular motor<br />
vehicle servicing is more serious issues<br />
can arise, resulting in costly repairs, which<br />
might otherwise have been avoided. A<br />
reliable vehicle also means you’re not<br />
stranded on a country road or the back<br />
paddocks of the farm.<br />
Vehicle servicing should be carried out<br />
every 5,000-10,000 kilometres, whether<br />
a newer or older model, and by a reliable<br />
and competent specialist in automotive<br />
repairs. Regular servicing ensures a<br />
vehicle is roadworthy between Warrant<br />
of Fitness checks. This is important no<br />
matter what the age of the vehicle, as even<br />
new vehicles can breakdown.<br />
Simon, Hayden and Vince at Rolleston<br />
Diesel & Petrols take care of a lot of farm<br />
utes, 4WD’s, farm bikes and the odd<br />
tractor, as well as the family car. They have<br />
considerable experience and expertise in<br />
automotive servicing and repairs.<br />
“Two problems we regularly see<br />
occurring, is vehicle maintenance being<br />
overlooked and where the farm’s fuel<br />
supply has become contaminated. This<br />
can lead to poor vehicle performance,<br />
black smoke belching out, high fuel<br />
usage and potential breakdowns,” advises<br />
Simon, owner of Rolleston Diesel &<br />
Petrols.<br />
If you are having problems with any of<br />
your vehicles, it may well be worth having<br />
a chat to one of the team at Rolleston<br />
Diesel & Petrols. They are only too keen<br />
to help. You can be assured they will<br />
offer honest advice on the state of your<br />
motor vehicle. Whether there is a noise<br />
coming from under the bonnet, a smell of<br />
oil, tyres looking suspiciously worn, or a<br />
battery which is slow to start, sorting any<br />
problem early may avoid being without<br />
the vehicle for a period of time, as well<br />
as the cost of any necessary repairs. It<br />
will also help ensure the vehicle is safe to<br />
drive.<br />
Rolleston Diesel & Petrols is wellequipped<br />
with sophisticated diagnostic<br />
equipment, and they only use reliable<br />
quality components, oils and original<br />
specifically manufactured equipment<br />
parts.<br />
“I believe in regular vehicle maintenance<br />
and carrying out proper repairs, using<br />
parts which will last,” says Simon.<br />
Whether a ute, 4WD, car, van, light<br />
commercial (up to 12 ton), motorhome,<br />
bus, motorcycle, jet ski, boat, horse<br />
float or ride-on lawnmower, the team at<br />
Rolleston Diesel & Petrols will service and<br />
repair it, as well as take care of any WOF<br />
checks when due.<br />

best big Site following the ‘Oscars of<br />
Manufacturing’, Fonterra’s best site<br />
cup awards. Darfield picked up the<br />
hotly contested award ahead of the 25<br />
other Fonterra<br />
manufacturing sites<br />
throughout the<br />
country.<br />
Darfield site is<br />
starting to ramp<br />
back up after winter<br />
shut so it was great<br />
for the teams to come together, virtually<br />
this year, to celebrate the year that’s been.<br />
The site had a great year making<br />
progress against their goals. One of those<br />
is the target set by the Co-op last year to<br />
reduce water use by 30% by 2030.<br />
Harriet Van Genne-Knape, General<br />
Manager of operations at Darfield says,<br />
“We are very proud of this result and<br />
the awesome recognition for our entire<br />
Darfield team. Everything came together<br />
quite nicely in FY20 for us. We had<br />
a clear vision, strategy, set ourselves<br />
ambitious targets and we passionately<br />
worked hard on these every day.<br />
“I think the key to our success is that<br />
we strongly believed that we could do it<br />
and that we followed the Darfield way of<br />
doing things which is sometimes a little<br />
bit different. We are always focussed on<br />
how we could do things better, and all of<br />
you have worked tirelessly over a number<br />
of years to be rewarded with this result.”<br />
Fonterra’s Darfield site employs<br />
more than 280 people from around<br />
Canterbury, all of them work to turn<br />
Fonterra farmers milk into milk powder<br />
and cream cheese that ends up in more<br />
than 40 markets around the world.<br />
Fonterra’s manufacturing sites employ<br />
close to 7,000 people throughout<br />
the country in a range of roles from<br />
factory processors to tanker operators,<br />
food safety and quality experts and<br />
environmental managers, all of them<br />
working to turn farmers milk into<br />
products that end up in more than 140<br />
countries around the world.<br />

Feisty yet frugal Volvo station wagon<br />
VOLVO HAS HAD a long and<br />
notable motorsport heritage.<br />
I became familiar with some<br />
of that during my many visits to<br />
Wellington to watch the Nissan<br />
Mobil 500 street race in the late<br />
80s and early 90s. While the<br />
Volvo T5 wagon looked a little<br />
out of place on the race track,<br />
it certainly had speed, and it<br />
clocked up much success globally,<br />
especially in European touring<br />
car championship races.<br />
The T5 had a square, boxy<br />
shape that earned it the nickname<br />
Swedish taxi, but the point is it<br />
was amazingly successful, and<br />
when I first drove it in road going<br />
form in 2004 I was blown away<br />
with its power and performance.<br />
Since then Volvo has marketed<br />
many fine wagons and has<br />
impressed with its power plants,<br />
feisty engines which also double<br />
as being frugal.<br />
Enter <strong>2020</strong> and another Volvo<br />
wagon has landed – the V60 T8<br />
R-Design, another very quick<br />
station wagon, yet also amazes<br />
with its 2l/100km combined cycle<br />
fuel usage claim.<br />
That’s down to hybrid<br />
technology, today’s V60 has a<br />
turbocharged and supercharged<br />
four-cylinder petrol engine. The<br />
1969cc unit develops a hearty<br />
246kW and 430Nm, if that’s not<br />
enough, add into the equation<br />
a rear-mounted electric engine<br />
which adds 65kW and 240Nm,<br />
it’s no surprise then the V60 is<br />
swift when the accelerator is<br />
given a nudge.<br />
Volvo claims a 4.5sec standstill<br />
to 100km/h acceleration time,<br />
that’s quick, and what’s more,<br />
the V60 feels fast, it is fully<br />
responsive and delivers in a fluid,<br />
decisive manner, typical of both<br />
turbocharging and supercharging<br />
techniques.<br />
While its performance is every<br />
bit as exciting as its predecessors,<br />
it must be remembered that<br />
hybrid technology is there for<br />
a reason, and in this age where<br />
caring for the environment has<br />
become a major priority, the V60<br />
also addresses that with plug-in<br />
electric storage capability. The<br />
system isn’t as generous as you<br />
would get from a fully electric<br />
vehicle, but it definitely has<br />
purpose.<br />
Volvo also claims and electric<br />
range of around 30-40km,<br />
which would satisfy for a daily<br />
commute; however, there’s no<br />
driver-selectable EV mode,<br />
what happens is that the V60<br />
VOLVO V60 T8: Hybrid system allows up to 30km of<br />
motoring on one charge.<br />
will happily run all the time on<br />
electric power only, but if you<br />
are forceful with the throttle the<br />
engine will burst into life and give<br />
you immediate acceleration.<br />
I was determined to allow<br />
the V60 to work electrically for my<br />
commute, it does so willingly, but<br />
there were a couple of times when<br />
keeping pace with traffic meant<br />
petrol power cut in, however, the<br />
end result is that massive fuel<br />
savings can be achieved.<br />
During my time in the<br />
evaluation car the fuel usage<br />
displays were listing between<br />
3-4l/100km with 2.2l/100km<br />
showing instantaneously at<br />
100km/h, the engine turning<br />
over well below 2000rpm in<br />
eighth gear. Yes, the V60 has<br />
a traditional torque converter<br />
gearbox and, as you would<br />
expect in a luxury car, the<br />
transition of ratios is almost<br />
seamless.<br />
You need no special technique<br />
to drive the V60, it is very<br />
orthodox and is built with<br />
the sophistication we have<br />
come to expect from this great<br />
Scandinavian car maker. It also<br />
gets a five-star safety rating, no<br />
surprises there, Volvo is sold<br />
universally as being one of the<br />
world’s safest car manufacturers.<br />
I’ve made no secret over the years<br />
of my affection for the traditional<br />
station wagon, and the V60 really<br />
appeals to me. In practical terms,<br />
the rear cargo section can hold<br />
up to 529-litres and loading it is<br />
far from a chore, the ride height<br />
is at an easy level for lifting the<br />
groceries out of the supermarket<br />
trolley and into the vehicle. That<br />
load space doesn’t compromise the<br />
rear seating area either, the V60 is<br />
comfortable and spacious.<br />
On the road it is quiet and<br />
extremely comfortable, the spring<br />
and damper rates are biased<br />
towards comfort, which is no<br />
surprise, the V60 is a true touring<br />
• Price – Volvo V60 T8,<br />
$121,400<br />
• Dimensions – Length,<br />
4761mm; width, 1850mm;<br />
height, 1427mm<br />
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,<br />
four-wheel-drive,<br />
1969cc, 246kW, 430Nm,<br />
eight-speed automatic<br />
• Performance –<br />
0-100km/h, 4.5sec<br />
• Fuel usage – 2l/100km<br />
car and it needs to cocoon the<br />
occupants.<br />
It gets a load of kit for its<br />
$114,900 price tag (evaluation<br />
car $121,400). The controls are<br />
laid out for ease of use, many<br />
functions are operated through a<br />
large central touch screen display,<br />
which is very intuitive.<br />
Two Star Media employees<br />
drive Volvos. I’m always being<br />
reminded of the safety criteria<br />
which influenced the decision<br />
to buy into the brand. Nothing<br />
has changed, Volvo has set the<br />
benchmark in this area, and<br />
when you are inside the car you<br />
feel that quality build.<br />
The V60 is a remarkable car<br />
in terms of what it represents, its<br />
speed puts it most definitely in<br />
the performance car category, but<br />
it is also a thrifty fuel miser. Add<br />
in the wagon effect and you’ve got<br />
many cars in one.<br />
That’s just as you would expect<br />
from Volvo, it is something just<br />
that little bit different all round,<br />
but spectacular nonetheless.<br />

Hello<br />
I’m Reuben Davidson and it’s my privilege to be your Labour candidate for <strong>Selwyn</strong>.<br />
I am asking for your support to elect me as your Member of Parliament to be <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s voice<br />
in Wellington.<br />
Canterbury born and bred and proud of it — over the past twenty years I’ve worked hard as a<br />
producer in television and more recently as a Community Board Member for Banks Peninsula.<br />
Now I want to work hard for you.<br />
Our nation’s response to COVID-19 has been outstanding but there are still challenges ahead.<br />
Together our team of five million can work to recover and rebuild for a smarter, safer even better<br />
New Zealand. With the leadership of Jacinda Ardern, Labour has the plan to protect local families<br />
and jobs by backing our businesses and supporting our local industries.<br />
As your candidate I am keen to hear from you. I’m in the electorate and available to catch up<br />
anytime or meet you at one of our street corner meetings. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch.<br />
Thank you<br />
Reuben Davidson<br />

SELWYN TIMES<br />
Labour in <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
Supporting Farmers<br />
Our farming sector drives our local and<br />
national economy. Labour created the<br />
Primary Sector Council, a group<br />
of farming, agribusiness and export<br />
leaders to represent the needs of this<br />
vital industry. Recently they have<br />
launched Te Taiao, a world leading<br />
initiative that bridges the gap between<br />
protecting our environment and<br />
growing our rural economy.<br />
The initiative’s aim is that the industry<br />
can work as one to make best use of<br />
our resources and sustain our<br />
prosperity, ensuring skilled jobs<br />
for our local <strong>Selwyn</strong> economy.<br />
Keeping People Working<br />
The Wage Subsidy Scheme is part of<br />
our government’s response to the<br />
immediate and mid-term challenges<br />
presented by COVID-19.<br />
Businesses in Canterbury have reported<br />
the Wage Subsidy having the highest<br />
positive impact, enabling them to keep<br />
people in work.<br />
The uptake across Canterbury and<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> has been high, and has allowed<br />
many local small businesses to continue<br />
trading through challenging times.<br />
Boosting Connectivity<br />
The rural communities of <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
need better broadband connectivity.<br />
In Government, Labour has made it a<br />
priority to upgrade mobile towers in<br />
places like Southbridge and Windwhistle<br />
that have high numbers of school-age<br />
children living in households without<br />
internet access.<br />
COVID-19 has shown us the importance<br />
of being digitally connected, allowing<br />
people to work and learn from home and<br />
eliminating our black spots for essential<br />
services.<br />
Gebbies Valley was recently the 100th<br />
4G Cell Tower site in this scheme. The<br />
second phase of our plan will continue to<br />
boost connectivity across remote rural<br />
areas like <strong>Selwyn</strong>.<br />

Funding Darfield Fire Station<br />
A recent funding boost of $1 million will<br />
fast-track construction of the Darfield<br />
Fire Station expansion.<br />
This important local investment will bring<br />
urban and rural services together and<br />
provide a co-located hub for fire and<br />
emergency response services in Darfield<br />
for the surrounding areas.<br />
This is a direct investment into an<br />
important local lifeline and continues<br />
work in keeping our community safe.<br />
Empowering our Community<br />
The Resource Management Act (RMA)<br />
is the framework legislation to guide local<br />
Councils on rules for resource use and<br />
environmental controls.<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> has recently been in the news with<br />
regards to the new Roydon Quarry near<br />
homes in Templeton, and the toxic waste<br />
treatment plant on Prebbleton’s doorstep.<br />
Under the National government, the<br />
community was locked out of decisions<br />
and had their views ignored. Labour is<br />
working to reinstate this fundamental<br />
community voice into decisions that<br />
affect you. Our team are committed<br />
to repealing and replacing the RMA<br />
to ensure greater local community<br />
involvement to deliver better<br />
environmental outcomes.<br />
Investing in our Future<br />
Investing in Research and Development<br />
is vital to maintain our position as world<br />
leaders in innovative and sustainable<br />
farming practice.<br />
I’m really proud that we’ve recently made<br />
a $45 million investment into a fit-forfuture<br />
scientific research facility at Ag<br />
Research in Lincoln. The build will be a<br />
boost to the <strong>Selwyn</strong> economy, a future<br />
asset for Lincoln and provide a centre of<br />
excellence for land-based science and<br />
farming research.<br />
It is vital that we back our brightest<br />
thinking to ensure our primary industries<br />
can innovate and thrive in <strong>Selwyn</strong>.<br />
Let’s keep moving

I care deeply about people. I am born and bred in Canterbury surrounded by a large supportive family, and received<br />
an excellent education enabling me to work in a job I love.<br />
I’ve worked my way up the ranks of television production in New Zealand, starting with making coffee. I’ve<br />
production-managed lifestyle and magazine shows for Television New Zealand and worked as a Creator and<br />
Series Producer for New Zealand’s largest children’s production company — always with an eye to increasing<br />
opportunities for business and jobs in Canterbury.<br />
As an elected Community Board member for Banks Peninsula (which until recently overlapped <strong>Selwyn</strong>) I value how<br />
much our local rural communities contribute to the national economy and have seen how they can be best served<br />
and supported.<br />
It would be my honour to serve you as the Labour MP for <strong>Selwyn</strong>.<br />
Your vote matters — choose two ticks for Labour to keep <strong>Selwyn</strong> moving forward.<br />

Get your home noticed<br />
It takes more than good photography to help sell a<br />
home. You’ll want your home to look attractive and<br />
appealing for a potential home buyer so check out<br />
these following tips to get your home ready for<br />
real estate photography and open homes...<br />
• First impressions count: Clear away shoes, coats and other items to make your<br />
front entrance look clean and welcoming.<br />
• Create natural light: Open all curtains and/or blinds; turn on lights for open<br />
home days.<br />
• Keep it clean: A clean house and well cared for section will be far more<br />
appealing to a buyer; get rid of cobwebs; shine the taps; polish the windows and<br />
doorknobs; wash and vacuum the floors.<br />
• Stay fresh: Don’t allow stale cooking and living smells to linger – open windows<br />
daily, display a vase of sweet smelling flowers, and if need be an occasional spray<br />
with a can of air freshener. Don’t burn incense as the buyer may wonder what you<br />
are trying to cover up.<br />
• De-clutter every room: This is the most important. Clean counters, tables,<br />
coffee tables and wall units. Clutter really attracts the eye and takes away from the<br />
beauty of the home.<br />
• Kitchen/Dining: Remove all unnecessary items; keep the benches clean and<br />
clear; remove all used tea towels and dishcloths; use flowers to brighten up the<br />
dining table.<br />
• Bathroom: We all have clutter in the bathroom – toothbrushes, creams,<br />
toothpaste etc. Before the photographer arrives (or potential buyers) put all the<br />
clutter into a small box, which can easily be stored out of sight. Place clean colour<br />
co-ordinated towels, neatly folded, onto the towel rail.<br />
• Bedroom: Use colour coordinated bedcovers and linen; plump up your pillows;<br />
straighten the valance; put all clothing and person items out of sight.<br />
• Office: It’s often hard to keep this room perfectly tidy but try to keep it as orderly<br />
as possible.<br />
• Keep corners free of clutter: This helps make a room look bigger and therefore<br />
more spacious.<br />
• Make your room look bigger: rearrange furniture to create more floor space.<br />
• Add colour: If your house is neutral in colour, try adding small touches of colour<br />
with fresh flowers. Another quick color fix is to use cushions but don’t go overboard.<br />
Red works well against neutral backgrounds as do bright blues and greens. Just<br />
remember to keep it minimal, pick one colour per room, and it will work.<br />
• Move toys out of living areas: Keep them in the rumpus room or the children’s<br />
bedrooms.<br />
• Boxes or small storage units: Stack them in one area or the spare bedroom.<br />
Better not to take a picture of the spare bedroom than have boxes or storage<br />
boxes in each room. Better yet – stack them against one wall and this way the<br />
photographer can avoid that wall when taking the picture.<br />
• Check your cords, cables and wires: Tuck and hide those cords away or simply<br />
unplug them.<br />
• Keep pets out of sight: Prospective buyers don’t want pets leaping at them<br />
or they may be even allergic to pet hair, so keep them out of sight or away for<br />
photography and open home days.<br />
• Clean up your section and garage: Keep lawns mowed, gardens weeded, hoses<br />
and wheelbarrow stored out of sight; take excess rubbish to the tip; and arrange your<br />
garage to look as spacious and orderly as possible.<br />
Don’t burn incense as the buyer may wonder<br />
what you are trying to cover up.<br />

Snuggle down<br />
When it comes to home heating, ‘bang<br />
for your buck’ is essential and part of<br />
this is ensuring your home is adequately<br />
insulated. Did you know that a 2% gap<br />
in insulation can result in a 20% heat<br />
loss? This can make a huge difference to<br />
the comfort of your home.<br />
Insulation works by slowing heat<br />
loss from your home, enclosing it in a<br />
thermal envelope. This is why around<br />
40% of heat is lost through the ceiling in<br />
the average uninsulated home.<br />
In addition to insulation, simple<br />
measures, such as using thermal<br />
curtains and sealing gaps and cracks,<br />
will eliminate draughts and prevent<br />
warm air escaping where it shouldn’t.<br />
It also pays to remember that heating<br />
a room to a moderate constant<br />
temperature is much more efficient than<br />
a fluctuating heat.<br />
Designed to not only be practical and<br />
functional but to enhance the décor<br />
of your home, there is a home-heating<br />
option for every home, and everyone.<br />
GAS FIRES<br />
Providing fast, convenient and<br />
easily regulated heat, gas can bring<br />
a moderate-size room to a warm,<br />
comfortable temperature in about 10-15<br />
minutes. Glass-fronted gas fireplaces<br />
are significantly more efficient than<br />
open-fronted ones, and as gas fires<br />
are cleaner than wood-burning fires<br />
they are favoured in clean-air areas,<br />
making this a popular heating option in<br />
Christchurch.<br />
Like other heating options, most<br />
modern gas fires have a timer facility.<br />
HEAT PUMPS<br />
Heat pumps come in a variety of<br />
options: high-wall, floor consoles,<br />
slimline, quiet ... the list goes on,<br />
ensuring there is a design, size and<br />
placement to suit your needs.<br />
Be smart about your energy use and<br />
ensure you have the right size heat pump<br />
for your space. If you pick one that is<br />
too small, it will have to work hard all<br />
the time, and will use more power than<br />
necessary. A unit that is the right size<br />
should heat your space in 5-15 minutes.<br />
DUCTED AIR CONDITIONING<br />
Ducted air conditioning systems work<br />
exactly the same way as a high-wall heat<br />
pump, in that there is an indoor unit<br />
and an outdoor unit, and by passing a<br />
refrigerant between them they transfer<br />
heat (or cooling) into a room.<br />
Unlike the high-wall system, where<br />
the indoor unit is visible, the ducted<br />
indoor unit is hidden away in the ceiling<br />
space and uses flexible ducts to pass the<br />
heat from room to room through vents<br />
in the ceiling, wall or floor.<br />
CENTRAL HEATING<br />
Growing in popularity in New Zealand,<br />
warm-water central heating is the<br />
even distribution of heat throughout<br />
the home from a central point or heat<br />
source. Warm water is distributed via a<br />
network of pipes connected to radiators<br />
in each room, or looped under the floor<br />
for underfloor heating. Releasing a gentle<br />
heat, no water is actually consumed,<br />
ensuring this is the ultimate in efficiency.<br />
HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEM<br />
Home heating isn’t just about keeping<br />
the house warm; it’s also about<br />
maintaining a healthy home. In the<br />
summer months we are able to throw<br />
open the windows to air the house, an<br />
option not available in cooler weather,<br />
meaning condensation is often an<br />
unhealthy side effect of winter. The<br />
installation of an effective heat-recovery<br />
or ventilation system can help solve<br />
this problem, thereby working towards<br />
creating a warmer, drier and, above all,<br />
healthier living environment.<br />
WOOD BURNERS<br />
When used properly, wood burners<br />
are a great and economical option,<br />
especially if you have access to free or<br />
cheap firewood. You do, however, need<br />
to ensure your fire is clean-air approved,<br />
especially in Canterbury. When buying<br />
a wood fire, consider efficiency rating,<br />
clean burn, emission levels and size.<br />
PELLET BURNERS<br />
Pellet fires have come a long way in<br />
recent years and most are now available<br />
as free-standing or inbuilt, offering a<br />
wider variety when it comes to selecting<br />
the right look for your space.<br />
There are many benefits to a pellet<br />
burner as they offer all the warmth and<br />
luxury of a flame without the hassle of<br />
cutting, carrying and storing firewood.<br />
Made from sawmill waste, the pellets are<br />
carbon-neutral and burn cleanly.<br />
One of the biggest limitations is the<br />
initial cost, with the price of buying and<br />
installing a pellet burner greater than<br />
that of a conventional wood burner. The<br />
burner also relies on electricity so won’t<br />
work during a power cut.<br />

Now is the perfect time<br />
to buy and sell property<br />
If you’re looking for real estate, location<br />
and value are everything. Now is the<br />
perfect time to get into the Christchurch<br />
and Canterbury property market.<br />
Great value for money, better<br />
transport connections, and an easing<br />
in lending restrictions all spell for a<br />
bright future for the city and region,<br />
says Harcourts Four Seasons franchise<br />
owner James Twiss.<br />
“We are really excited that our markets<br />
are active and attractive. The value<br />
opportunity is just outstanding.”<br />
The city and region are a great place<br />
to live, work, and play, with beaches,<br />
forests, and mountains and ski-fields all<br />
within easy reach, as well as a dynamic<br />
urban centre.<br />
Canterbury and Christchurch are a stable<br />
real estate market, offering excellent<br />
buying opportunities—for both new<br />
and established homes—compared with<br />
Auckland and Wellington.<br />
The current market is attracting Kiwis<br />
returning home from overseas, as well<br />
as local buyers keen to find good value<br />
property, and Auckland investors.<br />
Investment in better transport<br />
will benefit the entire region. The<br />
Northern Corridor, which includes the<br />
Cranford Basin bypass, will bring the<br />
city closer to town.<br />
“Kaiapoi is extremely good value, even<br />
now, and will form part of the city,” says<br />
Twiss. “Subdivision land is available,<br />
new buildings are good value, but also<br />
established property, and three and four<br />
bedrooms are well within reach.”<br />
The Southern Motorway extension will<br />
likewise benefit Rolleston and Lincoln,<br />
to the south of Christchurch. Rolleston<br />
is predicted to grow by another 5,000<br />
people in the next six years.<br />
“Access to jobs in the city and Lyttelton<br />
make these locations unbelievably good<br />
value. It’s good firm ground, postearthquake<br />
build.”<br />
It’s now got easier to buy a new house,<br />
thanks to a change in the lending rules.<br />
LVR (Loan to Value Restrictions) are down<br />
to 70 to 80 per cent. “That has created an<br />
even better opportunity for first home<br />
buyers and those looking for good buying<br />
opportunities.”<br />
A shortage of rentals benefits vendors<br />
and investors. “We have seen quite<br />
a few Auckland buyers coming into<br />
town,” says Twiss. “Average Auckland<br />
properties are $1 million. You can access<br />
10 per cent of that for investment. You<br />
have got the ability to buy a decent<br />
rental property.”<br />
Twiss says buyers can have confidence<br />
in the Harcourts brand, which has<br />
been Reader’s Digest’s<br />
most trusted brand<br />
for the eighth year<br />
running. Harcourts<br />
Four Seasons has over<br />
30 years’ experience in<br />
Christchurch real estate.<br />
“We say we’ve got you<br />
covered. Four Seasons<br />
are your local office. We<br />
live local, we support our<br />
local communities, we sell<br />
local and we understand<br />
the local and Canterbury<br />
market. We can attract the<br />
most buyers and therefore<br />
get the most for people’s<br />
properties.”<br />
Harcourts Four Seasons<br />
is the largest real estate<br />
business in <strong>Selwyn</strong> and<br />
the Waimakariri, with<br />
over 90 sales consultants<br />
operating eight branches:<br />
in Rolleston, Lincoln,<br />
Hornby, Belfast, The<br />
Palms, Kaiapoi, Rangiora,<br />
and Hanmer Springs.<br />
The company also has international<br />
reach. With a trend for ex-pat Kiwis<br />
showing an interest in returning home,<br />
Harcourts has the international network<br />
to help make the transaction smoother.<br />

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections<br />
in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District<br />
Showhome a candidate for<br />
Master Builders’ Award<br />
A new showhome in Rolleston by<br />
Clark Bros Construction, is set to<br />
impress judges in this year’s Master<br />
Builders’ Awards. It has certainly<br />
been impressing those who have been<br />
visiting the home.<br />
Clark Bros Construction was<br />
established in 2014 by brothers,<br />
Jarryd and Shannon Clark who take a<br />
hands-on approach to their business,<br />
working with clients and managing<br />
each project, to ensure a smooth and<br />
timely build.<br />
Jarryd says quality is an essential<br />
ingredient and this is evident in their<br />
showhome at The Borough. The<br />
267sqm, 4-bedroom home impresses<br />
from the moment<br />
you walk through the<br />
door. Its warmth begs<br />
you to linger.<br />
A cathedral ceiling<br />
gives the separate<br />
lounge something<br />
extra. A swing glass<br />
door connects this<br />
room to the kitchen,<br />
dining and living<br />
space. A double<br />
sided gas fire serves<br />
both lounge and<br />
living areas, adding<br />
ambience while<br />
ensuring cosy living. A box seat<br />
directly under the fire on the kitchen<br />
side, offers a charming spot to relax,<br />
or sit and chat with those in the<br />
kitchen.<br />
From the large living room, double<br />
stacking sliders open onto a large<br />
north-facing hardwood deck, making<br />
the home perfect for a family or when<br />
entertaining. Large windows ensure a<br />
bright sunny home year round.<br />
The kitchen is generous both in<br />
size and cupboard space. A walk-in<br />
butler’s pantry is tucked in behind.<br />
This has a sink and space for a wide<br />
refrigerator. Not often seen, is the<br />
switching of the sink and cooktop.<br />
A new showhome<br />
in Rolleston<br />
by Clark Bros<br />
Construction, is<br />
set to impress<br />
judges in this<br />
year’s Master<br />
Builders’ Awards.<br />
The latter, an induction hob is<br />
mounted in the centre island with<br />
built-in rangehood overhead. There<br />
is a built-in dishwasher and quality<br />
Electrolux appliances. In the lounge<br />
and kitchen, there are solar remote<br />
controlled opening Velux skylights<br />
with fitted blinds.<br />
One passes through a wide study<br />
nook when accessing the hallway<br />
from the living zone; an area which<br />
might easily serve as a home office.<br />
All bedrooms in the home are<br />
doubles. The master bedroom has<br />
a larger than usual walk-in robe<br />
with fitted cabinetry. There is also a<br />
luxurious, roomy ensuite with doublebowl<br />
wood hanging<br />
vanity, generous<br />
fully tiled shower<br />
and separated toilet.<br />
Lighting illuminates<br />
a tiled feature wall in<br />
the shower itself.<br />
Both bathrooms<br />
have underfloor<br />
heating. The main<br />
bathroom has a<br />
hanging wood vanity<br />
with white bowl,<br />
freestanding black<br />
and white bath with<br />
tiled feature wall and<br />
fully tiled shower. There is also a small<br />
washbasin in the separate toilet.<br />
Built-in joinery with space for<br />
under-bench washer and dryer can<br />
be found in the separate laundry,<br />
along with ample storage in the large<br />
walk-in storeroom (in the hall) and<br />
attic storage trusses in the 6.5x6 metre<br />
garage.<br />
The home’s external cladding is a<br />
fully vented plaster panel system with<br />
cedar and classic stone features. The<br />
roof has long-run corrugated iron.<br />
Clark Bros Construction’s The<br />
Borough showhome is open Saturdays<br />
and Sundays, 11am until 4pm, at 50<br />
Lanner Drive, Rolleston.<br />
Show homes<br />
the ultimate way to shop around<br />
Across the selwyn district, we are blessed with an<br />
extensive array of very good quality show homes.<br />
Building companies build show homes<br />
to demonstrate their workmanship,<br />
display innovative design ideas and<br />
present a snapshot into a new and<br />
luxurious lifestyle, featuring all the<br />
latest in materials, fittings and fixtures.<br />
A show home can inspire you in a way<br />
nothing else can. You can absorb the<br />
ambiance they present and admire the<br />
innovative techniques, new materials<br />
and technology.<br />
You can ask questions, take notes<br />
and compare. You can see at a glance<br />
features you would love to emulate or<br />
would avoid when building your home.<br />
Best of all, you ;will see the building<br />
companies’ attention to detail.<br />
Show homes are the perfect way to get<br />
a good idea of pricing, discover good<br />
quality and value, learn about superior<br />
use of space, future-proofing, ongoing<br />
maintenance and long-term returns.<br />
So what are you waiting for? Check<br />
out our maps, grab a notepad and<br />
pencil and begin the exciting project of<br />
building your own home.
