Student drivers in police spotlight 

CLAMPDOWN: Police will be monitoring student drivers near schools in the district as part of a campaign on driver 

licence conditions.

YOUNG DRIVERS who 

are flouting their driver licence 

conditions will be in the police 

spotlight starting this week. 

A new campaign is being 

launched which will focus on 

students driving near schools in 

the district. 

Senior Constable Scott 

Mclachlan said the aim is to 

stop drivers who are breaching 

the conditions of their licences. 

“The learner and restricted 

licences have certain 

restrictions around carrying 

passengers and the times they 

can drive and that sort of thing.

Boozed 

former 

Crusaders 

staffer 

crashes 

into bridge 

• By Barry Clarke 

A FORMER Crusaders staff 

member, more than three times 

over the drink-driving limit, 

crashed into a Tai Tapu bridge 

– the day before he was due 

to return the work car to the 

franchise. 

The motorist, who had lost 

his job in a restructure just days 

before the crash, miraculously 

walked away unhurt. 

He recorded a breath alcohol 

reading of 1068mcg/l, more than 

three times the legal limit of 

250mcg/l. 

The Crusaders vehicle was written 

off and $6000 damage was 

caused to the bridge. 

It is likely he will face a bill for 

both, as well as a potential lengthy 

suspension from driving. 

The man had been drinking in 

Lincoln after watching a rugby 

match earlier in the day. The crash 

happened on Sunday, July 27, 

about 1am.

JASON PIETZNER reached 

the magic 300 division one 

games (for Lincoln) a few 

weeks ago (see pages 16-17). 

Pietzner is a personable 

character who has been a 

much needed spare part 

player for the Lincoln 

division one side this season 

as it battles a string of 

injuries. 

That has worked in his 

favour in getting to the 

300 game mark. You have 

to applaud him for his 

longevity, which he credits 

to his wife Nicole, a personal 

trainer. 

Sporting success is in the 

family genes too. Pietzner’s 

mother Christine played 

netball for New Zealand and 

uncle Wayne Cottrell was an 

All Black. 

And brother Gareth, who 

plays for arch rival Waihora, 

is also closing in on 300 

games. They have a great onfield 

rivalry.

for ratepayers owing $3.4m to council 

[ R18 ]

Ben Hurley 

Jarred Fell

The Fan Brigade 


FINANCIAL hardship brought 

on by Covid-19 is one of the 

reasons more than $3.4 million 

in rates have yet to be paid. 

A total of $3,457,199 is still 

outstanding which represents 

3.94 per cent of the total rates. 

This is 

compared to 

the 2018/2019 

financial year 

which had 

$2,616,986 or 

3.38 per cent 

still to be paid. 

Craig Moody 

Said district 

council accounting 

manager Craig Moody: 

“The council does think it 

[financial hardship] could be a 

factor. There were approximately 

40 ratepayers who have opted 

for the rates payment extension 

which amounted to around 

$50,000.” 

Under the district council’s 

economic recovery package, payments 

for the 2019/20 financial 

year can be extended until June 

next year for ratepayers who 

enter into a direct debit payment 

plan. 

In a report to the audit and 

risk sub-committee, Moody 

said the outstanding rates at 

the end of the last financial year 

increased from the same period 

last year. 

“The Covid-19 pandemic has 

had a flow-on effect on the national 

and local economies and 

has reflected in job losses. 

“This has had a negative 

impact on the council’s ability to 

maintain a continuing decrease 

in outstanding debtors.” 

He said there are several factors 

contributing to the higher 

level of outstanding rates for the 

2019/20 financial year. 

This includes the due date for 

payment being changed in the 

2018/19 financial year to two 

weeks later than the previous 

year. 

“This change has led to a timing 

difference in the collection 

of rates with the due date being 

closer to June 30, a higher balance 

of rates is outstanding at 

the end of the financial year.’’ 

OUTSTANDING: 

3.94 per cent of 

the rates due in 

the last financial 

year have not 

been paid. Rates 

help to fund major 

projects such as 

the Health Hub in 

Rolleston. 

District council staff have 

also not been as active in debt 

management during and post 

lockdown, Moody said. 

“Rates arrears is a risk area 

that we are monitoring closely. 

The risk to council is that ratepayers 

will get into arrears and 

struggle to make the increased 

payments required to clear their 

accounts.” 

The district council has 

the ability to recover the debt 

through a mortgage or by a LIM

Takeaway building demolished to make way for grassed area 

Increased police presence around schools 

• From page 1 

“We want to stop and educate 

them on the risks that they 

are creating. It’s not just from 

the enforcement side in terms 

of fines and demerit points 

but there are further increased 

risks if they’re involved in a 

crash or may not be covered by 

insurance.” 

High schools in the district are 

in support of the campaign. 

Ellesmere College principal 

Ronan Bass said police had been 

in touch about the campaign. 

“I think it is a good idea, I 

think education in all its 

many varied forms is a great 

idea rather than fully 

taking a punitive 

approach. I think it will be 

really effective. 

Rolleston College 

principal Rachel Skelton 

said: “As a school we fully 

support and endorse the 

police’s commitment to 

support the education of 

young drivers. 

“The Selwyn police, 

especially Community Constable 

Bruce Ward already make a huge 

effort to engage consistently with 

schools in a proactive way. This 

is yet another great 

example of this.” 

Darfield High 

School students 

will also be focused 

on under the new

There will be an increased

starting this week and ending 

in the second week of October, 

Mclachlan said. 

Rather than being fined, 

drivers caught breaching their

‘If they attend and they take

SUMMER CONCERT

male participation in leadership 


YOUNG MEN in the district 

will get the chance to meet 

double-amputee mountaineer 

Mark Inglis in a bid to improve 

their confidence. 

The Building Awesome Young 

Men initiative was started by 

Lincoln High School and offers 

a series of events throughout the 

year which young men can take 

part in. 

Other schools across the district 

are participating, which includes 

Lincoln Primary, Ararira 

Springs, Prebbleton, Ladbrooks 

and Springston schools. 

One of the events planned for 

the initiative is the Big Breakfast 

with Mark Inglis on August 17. 

It is a chance for young men 

and their families to have a 

cooked breakfast and listen to 

guest Inglis, the only double 

amputee to climb Everest, talk 

about his life. 

Teacher Kerri Loughhead said 

they came up with the idea by 

basing it off something similar 

being done at a school in the 

North Island. 

“Kylie Horgan and I went and

Ben Hooper and teacher Kerri Loughhead launching the 

Building Awesome Young Men initiative last week. 

met with Rangiora High School 

about their leadership structure. 

We bounced ideas about how we 

can get more males involved. 

“We were told there is a school 

up north who is doing something 

similar to this initiative so 

we went and designed it to how 

we thought it would work best 

for our students.” 

Loughhead said they are seeing 

a decline in male participation 

in leadership roles at the 

school. 

“They are still wanting to be 

leaders but it depends where 

they are leaders. We still have 

students who aren’t necessarily 

interested in the positions we 

want to see them putting their 

hand up for. 

“They are still leaders in their 

own sports and things like that 

but we are just trying to show 

them they can be confident 

doing that within our school 

environment as well.” 

She said they are struggling to 

get as many year 7 and 8 students 

involved as they would like and 

encourage anyone who would like 

to participate to come forward. 

A range of other events are 

planned this year under the 

initiative including the Dress for 

Success event. 

Two young men will win a 

day with comedian Leigh Hart 

where they will be fitted into a 

suit sponsored by Sergios, then 

visit Shaka Bros for some lunch 

and then to Benny’s Barber shop 

where the owner, Ben Scott, will 

give them tips and tricks on how 

to present themselves. 

Deputy head student Ben 

Hooper said: “The building awesome 

young men campaign has 

been introduced to bring more 

opportunities and leadership 

experiences to the young men in 

our community.” 

He said they are grateful to 

have support from The Laboratory,

A MAN in his 20’s held 

off a group armed with 

pool cues and wrenches 

who tried to break into his 

caravan on Sunday night. 

Senior Sergeant Dean 

Harker said the man 

heard a knock on the 

door of his caravan on 

McLaughlin St, Darfield. 

When he opened the 

door five people tried to 

try and enter the caravan. 

“The man was trying to 

hold the door closed at the 

same time. A struggle occurred 

and they ended up 

out on the footpath. The 

victim was able to call the 

police,” said Harker. 

SELWYN TIMES

The victim was not injured. 

Nothing was taken

“We are still working to

knew each other. We’ve got 

some good leads that we are 

going with,” said Harker.

Crusaders chief executive 

Colin Mansbridge said 

he was limited in what he 

could say as it is a private, 

employment-related matter 

involving a “now former” 

Crusaders employee. 

He would not say if 

the former employee 

would be liable for the 

vehicle. 

Asked if he was on 

Crusaders-related 

business on the 

weekend of the crash, 

Mr Mansbridge said: 

“Absolutely not.” 

“It goes without saying 

that the Crusaders do not 

condone driving under the 

influence, irrespective of 

whether someone is in a 

company vehicle or not. We 

are unable to comment further 

on the specific details 

relating to this incident.” 

Police would not discuss 

the driver but said he was 

“incredibly lucky” he didn’t 

kill himself or an innocent 

party. 

“He was incredibly 

remorseful and understood 

the consequences of what 

he had done,” said Senior 

Constable Andy 

Williamson, who 

attended the crash. 

As a result of 

the crash, Williamson 

had been 

invited to give a 

talk to Lincoln 

Rugby Football 

Club members. 

The drink-driver had been 

watching a game at Lincoln. 

It is understood he is 

not a member of the club. 

Williamson said talking

to hotel patrons was part 

of a Selwyn-wide police

– about the perils of drink

Over and above the 

carnage drink-drivers 

caused on the road, losing 

a driver licence could have 

far-reaching consequences, 

said Williamson. 

A number of countries 

still refused entry to people 

who had a drink-driving 

conviction. Young rugby 

players wanting to further 

their careers in Canada for 

example, or work there, 

would not be able to get in 

if they had a drink-driving 

conviction, he said. 

The crash came during 

a Canterbury-wide police 

crackdown on drink driving 

in July. 

Police tested 14,042 motorists

School programme to 

end tall poppy syndrome 

A PILOT programme aiming 

to end tall poppy syndrome 

that first launched at Rolleston 

School is proving successful. 

The E Tu Tangata programme 

was created by 24/7 youth work 

and started last month. 

Rolleston 

School principal 

Simon 

Moriarty said 

it has had a 

massive impact 

on the school 

so far. 

Simon 

Moriarty 

“For us, we 

are really trying 

to establish 

an E Tu Tangata mindset. It is 

how we want our students, staff 

and community to see themselves 

and others. That’s opened 

a lot of doors for us. 

“It is about our students seeing 

the value they have within 

themselves, through their skills, 

through their talents. It is shown 

in the school in small acts of 

kindness through to looking at 

organisations or individuals that 

are in need.” 

The three values of the 

programme are: You have value, 

we succeed together and others 

matter. 

Moriarty said an example of 

how the programme is working 

in the school is through its 

student leaders. 

“We have 15 student leaders 

this year and they have been 

divided into three groups, one is 

driving ‘you have value’ and is 

looking at how we can celebrate 

the success of students. Our 

second group is looking at 

‘we succeed together’ and 

is organising different sport

“The third group is leading

for ways that we can be present 

in our community whether that 

be through fundraising or giving 

our time.” 

About 50 schools across the 

country have signed up for the 

E Tu Tangata programme since 

it was launched.

The gardens will be judged 

on basic design principals such 

as balance, colour, unity and 

harmony. 

What type of plants have been 

chosen to enhance the garden such 

as trees, climbers, perennials and 

bulbs will also be judged. 

Dunlop said the organising

Your Local Views 

Selwyn Huts 

I don’t think the hut owners 

should pay for the water or sewer. 

I’m assuming they have paid 

rates for these huts for many 

years. 

Why is it councils are trying to 

get rid of huts and baches saying 

because of environmental issues? 

Have they worked out how 

much they will lose in rates each 

year? And who will have to pay 

more if they get rid of more huts 

and baches? Are the Rakaia Huts 

next to go? 

As the Selwyn District Council 

are saying the sea levels are 

rising. – Maureen Flattery 

Halkett Pool 

We are very gutted to hear that 

it will be closing. We use the pool 

every summer after school, in the 

school holidays and especially 

over the New Year period. 

We have never seen the Halkett 

Pool unclean, it had always been 

run at a high standard. 

We have four children, all of 

which have learnt to swim there, 

as did I, Amy, as a child. 

The council have already 

closed the Courtenay Pool on us, 

as we previously used it. 

The alternative locally is the 

river/intake which is very unsafe 

for children as there has already 

been a death there. 

Why did the council spend 

thousands of dollars upgrading 

the playground last year, to then 

go and close the pool which is the 

FIGHT: Upper Selwyn Huts 

residents have formed an 

incorporated society to fight 

the district council over its 

change in licensing fees. 

Halkett community centre’s biggest 

draw card. Please don’t close 

our pool. – Amy, Sam, Tom, 

Zoe, Anna and Frankie 

Truscott 

I am a Halkett resident and am 

deeply saddened to hear of the 

possible permanent closure of 

the pool. 

Our family, including two 

children, have enjoyed many 

summers swimming there. 

In fact, we were swimming

and safety concerns. But the committee which manages it has said it is not their fault. 

most days from December 29 

through to early January last 

summer and there never appeared 

to be an issue with the 

water quality. 

It certainly wasn’t cloudy to the 

point where we couldn’t see the 

bottom of the pool, as mentioned 

in the article. 

We witnessed committee 

members checking the water 

quality while we were there also 

ensuring we were following the 

health and safety guidelines. 

It would be a huge loss to the 

community to close the pool. –

Novice takes big photo prize 

ROLLESTON resident Jaymie 

Challis’s photo of her brother 

Trent fishing with her three-yearold 

son Nixon will be used as 

the image for this year’s fishing 

licence. 

The photograph was one of 

four monthly winners that went 

to a public vote to decide which 

would win the Fish and Game 

photo competition. 

Winning by a margin of 481 

votes, Challis said she was over 

the moon at scooping first place. 

She has only started taking 

photos a year ago and has the 

goal of becoming a professional 

photographer in the future. 

The photo was taken during 

a family holiday to Central 

Otago late last year and they had 

decided to have a day out fishing 

at the popular fishing spot of 

Butchers Dam about 10min from 

Alexandra. 

“The guys were out enjoying 

themselves and everything just 

lined up, and with a spectacular 

backdrop it made for a great 

photo,” Challis said. 

Award-winning news photographer 

Peter Meecham, who was 

one of three judges that decided 

the monthly winners, said “a really 

beautiful shot, that all three 

judges said we would have been 

proud to have taken ourselves.” 

As well as her image being 

WINNER: Jaymie Challis’s 

photo of her brother Trent 

fishing with her three-yearold 

son Nixon at Butchers 

Dam in Central Otago. 

used for the 2020/21 fishing 

licence, Challis receives $2000 

from Kilwell Sports. 

A total of 276 photos were considered 

by a judging panel over 

four months. 

Outdoor wholesaler Kilwell 

Sports sponsored the competition 

offering $4000 in prizes 

making it one of the biggest 

photo competitions in New Zealand 

for prize money. 

Challis was also presented with 

the David Hallett Trophy for the 

Fish & Game NZ licence photo 

competition. 

Hallett, an internationally 

renowned and award-winning 

news and wildlife photographer, 

was one of the first photographers 

for Fish & Game magazine and 

passed away unexpectedly in 2016.

event 

A SECOND event for residents to 

meet the district’s candidates has 

been planned for 10 days before 

the general election. 

The event will be held by the 

Lincoln Rotary Club and will take 

place on September 9. 

Organiser Pat Nicholas said: 

“This is the third time that Lincoln 

Rotary have organised this event, 

and being so close to the election it 

will be a lively meeting as the five 

candidates that have so far agreed 

to come along state their positions 

on the hot political topics.” 

Each candidate will be given a 

5min time slot to let the members of 

the public know where they stand 

on issues in the district. 

There will then be a further 

5min of questions from the public 

directed to the candidate. 

There are five candidates currently 

confirmed to attend. 

They are Act’s Stuart Armstrong, 

Abe O’Donnell (Green), Reuben 

Davidson (Labour), Nicola Grigg 

(National) and Bronnie Lyell (New 

Conservative Party). 

• Meet the candidates will be 

held on September 9, 7.30pm, at 

the Lincoln Event Centre.

Celebrate Daffodil Day 

ORGANISATIONS and 

businesses in the district are 

being asked to help celebrate 

Daffodil Day by decorating their 

facilities in yellow. 

Cancer Society Selwyn Centre 

co-ordinator Jackie Claridge 

said she has been blown away by 

the response to her Paint Selwyn 

Yellow campaign. 

“It would be fantastic to get 

our whole area behind such 

an important cause, every day 

across New Zealand 65 kiwis are 

diagnosed with cancer. 

“We hope businesses and 

organisations in Rolleston, 

Darfield, Leeston, Lincoln, 

Prebbleton and West Melton 

will come on board to not only 

raise funds, but raise awareness 

of the Cancer Society and the 

service we provide to Kiwis in 

our communities.” 

The Cancer Society will 

provide a small start-up pack of 

Daffodil Day-themed items but 

they encourage each business or 

organisation to add their flair. 

“Decorate their workplaces, 

dress their staff, colour their 

windows, all to celebrate and 

raise awareness of the 30 th 

anniversary of Daffodil Day,” 

Claridge said. 

The winning entrant in each 

township will receive a trophy. 

SUPPORT: The giant daffodils outside of the Cancer 

Society Selwyn Centre in Rolleston.

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 aims

Long-legged spider 

doesn’t build webs 

SIDYMELLA IS a genus of 

square-ended crab spiders found 

in Brazil, Australia, Uruguay, 

Colombia, Argentina and New 

Zealand. 

They have a 

characteristic 

square-ended 

abdomen and long 

front legs. They are 

not web-builders 

and instead use 

their front legs to 

grab prey before 

delivering a bite. 

Sidymella 

angulata found in 

my garden is one 

of at least four endemic species 

found in New Zealand. 

This species is about 4-8mm 

in length and is quite variable 

in colour, ranging from cream 

to red-brown, to blend with 

surroundings. Even if they 

don’t make webs, they still use a 

dragline as they move around. 

If disturbed, they drop to the 

ground staying motionless with 

their legs wrapped around their 

SELWYN TIMES 

bodies until it is safe to move 

again. 

THis species is common 

throughout much of New 

Zealand. 

Males are much 

smaller than 

females. Soon after 

mating the female 

crawls under a dead 

leaf and lays down a 

sheet of silk. 

She then deposits 

an egg mass and 

covers it with more 

silk. The mother 

guards the egg sac 

for the early stages 

of incubation. 

THere are also two Australian 

species here and both are likely to 

have dispersed naturally to New 

Zealand by ballooning (floating 

on strands of webs). 

Sidymella longipes is 

particularly long-legged and is 

found in the northern North 

Island and Sidymella trapezia 

is known from Christchurch 

northwards.

Our People 

SELWYN TIMES 

Jason Pieztner 

Rugby boots and safety boots 

Veteran half-back Jason 

Pietzner, 39, played 

his 300th division one 

match for Lincoln last 

month. Matt Slaughter 

spoke to him about his 

career 

What have been your most 

memorable moments playing 

for Lincoln? 

I think all championships are 

memorable. We had a couple 

that probably stand out. We had 

a combined final at Waihora in 

2014 and that stood out because 

we had been runners up and 

semi-finalists the previous sort 

three or four years without going 

the full distance, so that one 

there, it was almost a relief that 

we’d won that game. 

We had a run through the late 

2000s into the early teens with 

the Murray Cooper [Memorial] 

Shield, which is the shield you 

play for at home against other 

Ellesmere sides. So, we had that 

for 10 years, which basically 

meant we were unbeaten at home 

for 10 years against other Ellesmere 

sides in round-robin play. 

Who are some of the best 

players you have played against 

or with? 

I’ve played with All Black Joe 

Moody, obviously, at Lincoln. I 

played with Joe at the club for 

a number years before he went 

further up the chain of representative 

levels. 

I would have played against, 

probably earlier in the days, the 

likes of Scott Hamilton. He was a 

Crusader, obviously. 

We played Sonny Bill Williams 

once, that was great. That was 

back for Canterbury Country. It 

might have been his first game 

of rugby union way back, that 

might have been in 2006 or 2007, 

or maybe later. I think I might 

have been on the end of a fend at 

one stage, but there was a great 

photo of some of the boys, a 

couple of the country boys who 

lifted him up in a tackle and basically 

got him up-ended, so that 

BOOTS OFF: Jason Pietzner pictured in his job as national 

sales manager for Safety & Apparel in Islington.

was their claim to fame. That was 

Scott McIlroy out of Darfield, he 

got him in a good tackle. 

What are some of the best 

team performances you have 

been a part of? 

Back in 2011, I think we got 

on a bit of a run in the combined 

competition. We mucked our 

way through the round-robin but 

in the quarter-finals, semi-finals 

and finals we got a bit of a roll on 

and we ended up playing the final 

at home against Methven and 

pretty much steamrolled them. 

Probably a memorable year 

was back in 2015. We won the 

competition in 2014, we had a lot 

of player turnover that summer. 

Guys finishing or moving on, or 

whatever it might have been. 

Come pre-season the next 

year, the guys were only getting 

four or five guys turning up to 

training, so it was almost a call 

to arms. A lot of the older players 

who had been retired for maybe 

three of four years all put their 

hand up to come back to play. 

So, we had guys who hadn’t 

played for three or four years 

come back and play senior rugby 

and kind of, in a way, we saved 

the side from going to relegation 

or not putting a team together. 

That was a cool year because 

we were a bunch of old guys 

who were probably unfit, hadn’t 

played for a long time. We sort 

of battled our way through it 

and we held onto that [Murray 

Cooper Memorial Shield] that 

year. By all means, we should 

have been beaten probably two 

or three times. 

But it was just a good year 

BOOTS ON: Pietzner dots down for Lincoln against Waihora. 

PHOTO: KAREN CASEY 

based around guys that knew 

how to play a bit of rugby and we 

just played to our strengths and 

I look back and think that if we 

didn’t have a team that year, it 

would have taken probably three 

or four years to get a div one side 

back. 

What’s your secret for how 

you have been able to keep 

playing rugby at division one 

level for so long? 

I’m lucky enough that my wife 

(Nicole) is a personal trainer. 

Having someone who has personal 

training experience and a 

qualified nutritionist probably 

helps a fair way for the diet and 

motivation to keep yourself fit. 

She’s not too shy in telling 

me if I’ve let myself go a little 

bit or haven’t been doing things 

so that always keeps me on my 

toes. And I guess I always have 

reasonably high levels of expectations 

around fitness. I always 

wanted to make sure, if I was in 

a team, I was putting my best on 

the field at all times. 

As I’ve got older, I’ve sort of 

been a leader within teams. You 

kind of want to be at the forefront 

of your fitness and strength 

or performance. You always 

want to be at the forefront of it so 

younger guys look up and kind 

of set the guidelines or set the 

expectations. 

Tell me about the serious eye 

injury in 2018 which could have 

been career ending. 

It was a pre-season game, we 

were playing Kaiapoi and it was 

literally the last play of the game. 

We could have just kicked the 

ball out and finished it but I said 

to the boys we should probably 

run it and have one last play at it. 

Long story short, we kicked it 

up the field, chased through and 

I went to tackle their fullback 

and as he went into the tackle, he 

put a fend out and unfortunately 

with the timing, one of his 

fingers just went straight into 

my left eye and in and out. Out 

of that, I left my eye for a couple 

of weeks and it wasn’t really

getting any better and something 

wasn’t quite right. I went and 

saw the local doctor here, and 

out of that, straight into pretty 

much eye surgery. I had a, not a 

detached retina, but a torn retina. 

They had basically two surgeries 

to make sure it fitted back in 

alright and I could continue 

using the eye, I guess.

return to rugby after the injury? 

It was a full year later. 

What has kept you playing 

rugby season after season? 

I guess it’s a real passion for 

the club itself. I’d hate to think 

that I’ve let someone down by 

not being available or not helping 

out when required, I guess would 

probably the main reason why. 

I still enjoy playing rugby, even 

at an older age. I still enjoy the 

physicality and the contact and 

that part of it. 

I always feel like I’ve got 

something to add and I think 

until I don’t have anything else 

to add or I can’t add any value, 

yeah, I probably will put my hand 

up as required. 

What has kept you playing for 

Lincoln? 

I think certainly friendships. 

I’ve created a lot of long-standing 

friendships in rugby, and not just 

at Lincoln, but representative 

Ellesmere rugby as well. I guess 

you tend to hang out with people 

that are like-minded. 

We create a winning culture 

and, being a competitive person, 

I play to win and we’ve been a 

pretty successful team over the 

last couple of decades. So that 

was probably another thing 

that’s probably brought us all 

together, which has kept us 

coming back, is that the fact that 

we were a pretty good team in 

that era. 

Are there any rugby players 

whose game you looked up to? 

I always liked Todd Blackadder, 

just because he was a battler. 

From a natural ability sort of 

thing, he had to really work hard 

week in, week out, I guess, on 

his own game to perform at the 

highest level and he got to the

highest level of captaining 

the All Blacks. 

What is it like playing against 

your brother Gareth, who plays 

for Waihora? 

He’s up to about 286 games 

for Waihora, he’s played a lot of 

rugby too. I guess with Gareth, 

we’ve played a lot of Ellesmere 

rugby as well. We’ve played a lot 

of representative Ellesmere [for] 

Canterbury Country together, 

so there’s a lot of mutual respect. 

Even though it was a pretty fierce 

rivalry in the days, we had to 

come out of it as brothers as well, 

I guess, we didn’t have much 

choice in that. 

Neither of us got caught up in 

like a brother on brother rivalry 

at games. We’d just turn up 

and play and play hard and play 

reasonably fair. We’d always try 

and get one up on each other, 

whether it be a late tackle or 

maybe a sneaky ruck on the 

ground, just something to have a 

little bit of bragging rights at the 

end of the day. 

What are your best memories 

of celebrations after winning 

competitions or big games? 

Most of them we’ve ended up 

at the clubrooms. You work your 

way down to the pub and then 

gather back at the clubrooms the 

next day. The Sunday session 

would be the more memorable 

part and I 

think the more fun part because, 

kind of the pressure, off and 

you’ve had a chance to drink it 

up and drink away that night 

and the next day you sort of get 

together again and you sort of 

bring stories up. 

The Sunday sessions are 

probably the most fun part. 

Generally, that was a fancy dress 

or something along those lines. 

Tell me about your family and 

how supportive they have been 

of your rugby over the years? 

Very supportive. I don’t think 

you can do it without a bit of 

support. I’ve spent a lot of time 

away from family on Saturdays 

or during the weeks too, trainingwise 

on those Tuesday and 

Thursday nights. 

I’ve got two young girls now, 

Eva has just turned one and Elyse 

is three. 

And then, Chloe, she’s my 

stepdaughter, she’s 15.

MEARES WILLIAMS

My mother Christine Pietzner

Getting creative 

for the environment 

A crafty tunnel and a short film festival, supported by the Council’s Creative Community Fund, 

are helping bring a fun twist to raising awareness about environmental issues. 

Lincoln Envirotown’s annual short film competition and KidsFest’s craft and science day aim to 

bring the Selwyn community together, while promoting environmental action. 

This year’s KidsFest event in July encouraged kids to ‘explore our wetlands’ through science 

experiments and crafts – from shoe box dioramas to dragonfly pegs made from recycled 

materials from the Creative Junk store. 

Each year, Lincoln High School Sustainability Council students organise the theme and 

activities, decorate a themed tunnel and help the children with crafts and science on the day. 

Lincoln Envirotown Project Manager Dave Fitzjohn said it was impressive how quickly the 

students planned the event after lockdown halted meetings. 

“This year the high school students were really good because there was a very short time to get 

together and work stuff out – they did really well.” 

This year’s event was amazing with over 90 participants and great helpers, he says, including 

international students from Darfield High School assisting with mask making, colouring and 

supervising the tunnel. 

In September, Lincoln Envirotown will host their Environmental Short Film Competition awards 

at the Lincoln Event Centre where people can watch the entries. 

The competition is open to people of all ages and abilities with money and environmental prizes 

to be won. 

The awards are like the Oscars, but for environmental awareness, Dave says; something he is 

very passionate about. 

“If you’re going to have a job in retirement, I guess I’ve got the perfect one. I can’t really stop 

the Amazon forests from burning down, but I can tell kids and people around Selwyn about it.” 

Applications for the Creative Community Fund are now open. Visit selwyn.govt.nz/artsfunding to 

find out more. 

Walls going up on major buildings 

The Selwyn Aquatic Centre marked its next big step as the walls began to go up around the new pool 

last week. 

The new pool hall’s giant 30 metre wooden roof beams will begin to be craned into place this week. The 

new pool and its infrastructure has been completed and with the walls going up it is well on track to be 

open in March 2021. 

The Foster Park Indoor Courts build is also moving to 

the next stage, with the courts’ innovative wall cladding 

starting to go up this week. The Kingspan panelling 

provides both high quality insulation and removes the 

need for internal cladding. 

Sports equipment for the centre is also on its way, 

having set sail from Australia last week. 

Once the panelling is in place work will begin on the 

roof and internal fit out ahead of the building’s planned 

Wall columns installed at the Selwyn Aquatic Centre. 

opening in time for the next winter sports season. 

Support for migrants affected by COVID-19 

Support is being offered to people on temporary visas who are experiencing hardship due to COVID-19. 

The Council, Citizens Advice Bureau and Red Cross are putting on a free evening for migrants to find 

about the support available. 

It will include information on Manaaki Manuhiri, a programme run by Red Cross and backed by 

Immigration New Zealand, to help people on temporary visas meet basic needs. 

It will also include information on accommodation, food and transport. Immigration New Zealand will 

provide the latest details about visas and immigration information updates. 

The workshop will be held on Monday 17 August, 7–8.30pm, at Lincoln Event Centre, 15 Meijer Drive Lincoln. 

Certificate of attendance and light refreshments provided. RSVP to Sally on migrant.cabchch@gmail.com 

or 022 656 3744, or Amy on amy.penketh@selwyn.govt.nz or 027 250 9031. 

Plan ahead – consent numbers 

continue to climb 

Building consent applications in Selwyn are continuing at record 

levels, and the Council is encouraging builders to be patient. 

Consent applications have rapidly increased since the end of the 

Level-4 lockdown, with 267 consents issued and 1900 inspections 

completed in July and over 2,200 inspections expected in August. 

The Council is grateful to Napier City Council, Christchurch City 

Council, Waimakariri District Council and New Zealand Building 

Training and Compliance for providing staff to help. “They’ve been 

invaluable in helping us keep up with this demand. It’s been great to 

see the collaboration to keep staff employed and support the post- 

COVID recovery. We continue to talk to contractors to source more 

resources where we can,” Building Manager Vanessa Mitchell says. 

She says customers can also help us manage the workload 

efficiently by: 

· loading documents correctly into AlphaOne 

· ensuring sites are ready from 7.30am on the day of inspections - 

inspections will still be charged if the site is not ready for a booked 

inspection 

· using AlphaOne to check the status of consents and inspections 

· letting us know early if you need help with your application 

· paying for consents when they’re issued, or letting us know if your 

project is not going ahead 

· ensuring all required documents are uploaded at least the day 

before the relevant inspection – this is particularly important for 

final inspections to streamline the code compliance process 

While it is difficult to know how the pandemic might impact on 

consents in the coming months, at the current rates, the Council is on 

track for a record year of up to 2600 consents and 20,000 inspections.

Help teach Selwyn kids safe road crossing skills 

Drivers can help children learn safe road crossing skills by only stopping for pedestrians at kea 

crossings when the stop ‘lollipop’ signs are out. 

The Council is reminding people that the only time they must stop for pedestrians at a school road 

patrol (kea crossing) is when the stop lollipop signs are out. Otherwise it is a normal section of road 

where drivers have right of way. 

Stopping for children crossing at other times can be dangerous and can increase the risk of children 

being injured, School Road Safety Coordinator Stephanie Hautler says. 

“I often see drivers stopping to let children cross at cross points. Although drivers may think stopping is 

courteous, it’s incredibly dangerous. Slow down for sure, as children are unpredictable, but please don’t 

wave them across” 

“Children may develop the false expectation that all vehicles will stop for them, which increases the risk 

of them being injured. Even if you stop, a driver in the other direction may not. It’s unsafe to stop in a 

live lane of traffic and you run the risk of being rear-ended or worse, being shunted into the pedestrian 

you were trying to help.” 

It’s important that pedestrians stop, look and listen before crossing the road at a location with 

pedestrian facilities, and just like any other section of road, vehicles have the right of way. 

If a vehicle stops on a crossing point, pedestrians should wave them on and 

wait for a gap in the traffic to cross safely. 

Some handy hints for parents to teach their children: 

· Wave traffic on and wait for a safe gap to cross. 

· Be bright, be seen on your way to school, ask your school for a safety vest. 

· Cross at the kea crossing when it is operating, this goes for parents too, 

young people are watching you!

from Selwyn District Council. Email roadsafety@selwyn.govt.nz

BOARDING SCHOOL 

“The House” – The perfect 

combination of family environment 

with educational success 

Timaru Girls’ High School has 

been supporting young women to be

area to benefit from the high-quality 

education available at Timaru Girls’ 

High School. Boarders and their families 

bring a special dimension and play a 

very important part in the life of the 

school. 

“All staff maintain a good rapport with 

our girls, and balance their individual’s 

need for a caring, homely environment 

with the systems and processes needed 

to manage a home of teenage girls. 

Seniors and individual students also play 

an important role in the care of their 

peers and younger girls”, Director of 

Boarding, Elle Bradley says. 

We provide a supportive extended 

family environment that encourages 

young women to experience personal 

growth and excellence, and we offer a 

unique opportunity to learn life skills 

and responsibility in a structured and 

caring environment.

St Bede’s College 

Boarding School 

St Bede’s is a Catholic College for boys 

founded by the Society of Mary in 1911 

and it is also the only Catholic boarding 

school for boys in the South Island. 

Catholic, Marist and Bedean 

principles and values form the basis of 

a holistic education at the College. We 

aim not to make the College great but to 

ensure every boy has the opportunity to 

be great, and we endeavour to develop 

young men of Catholic hearts and 

minds through the experiences the boys 

have in their time here at the College. 

St Bede’s is a College for all…a place 

where gospel values are practised to 

help form principled men; a learning 

environment where everyone achieves; 

a place that teachers want to come 

to because of the strength of the 

community; a place also, where boys 

can embrace spiritual, sporting, cultural 

and community activities, which all 

combined shape boys into men. That’s 

the priority and that is in our DNA. 

Boarding at St Bede’s College is a 

tradition that goes back to the 1920s. 

Our rich history and tradition provides 

an excellent foundation to embrace 

the challenges of the modern era and 

prepare our boys to be Catholic leaders 

wherever life takes them. 

Like many other organisations in 

Christchurch, our campus has been 

broken and tested. The demolition of 

the Chapel seriously challenged us. It 

was the single most important building 

at St Bede’s College, and had symbolised 

the heart and soul of the College ever 

since the third Rector, Father Gilbert, 

converted it from the gymnasium in 

1929. 

In the last two years, the College has 

completed a $16m building project; 

stage two of the Gymnasium, a new 

Food Technology and Art Block, a 

renovated Performing Arts Centre 

and significantly, the new Chapel of St 

Bede, which have greatly enhanced the 

campus facilities. 

Boarders at St Bede’s College benefit 

from these and other facilities on site, 

and a self-development programme 

involving a number of different 

activities where boys are given 

opportunities to learn a variety of skills, 

are offered in the evenings as well as 

study. 

Preference and non-preference 

applications are available and 

personalised tours of the Boarding 

School and the College can take 

place on request. We look forward to 

introducing you to the St Bede’s College 

boarding hostel. 

Be part of the Nelson 

College boarding family 

Nelson College Boarding is known for its 

welcoming family environment. This was 

highlighted when the COVID Lockdown 

occurred. Most of our international students 

chose to stay, along with staff, and form a 

safe bubble of 80. This included Year 13 kiwi 

student Mac Harris, whose parents live in 

Japan. When the lockdown happened, Mac 

thought about going home, but decided it 

was safer to stay. “I wanted to stay in case 

things got worse and I couldn’t come back” 

Mac said. “Being in lockdown with all the 

international students also meant I got to 

know everyone really well. They’re pretty 

awesome.” 

Nelson College is a progressive and 

innovative boys’ school. Our learning 

environment focuses on ‘inspiring young 

men to take their place in the world by 

fostering the values of manaakitanga 

through quality education’. We take great 

pride in nurturing each boy’s individual 

interests and potential across all areas 

SELWYN TIMES 

of academia, sport, arts, culture, and 

leadership. 

“Our Boarders are at the heart of the 

school and we’re incredibly proud of 

them,” says Director of Boarding Samme 

Hippolite. “We know how formative these 

years are, and we want the boys to have 

every opportunity to develop their interests. 

We also want them to have fun, make 

lifelong friendships and create unforgettable 

memories within the context of a clear and 

safe structure.” 

Set alongside the main college campus, the 

college’s two boarding houses – Rutherford 

and Barnicoat – are impressive heritage 

buildings that have recently had major 

refurbishments. “Our experienced staff are 

committed to creating a strong and caring 

community within the boarding fraternity,” 

says Mrs Hippolite. “We ensure that our boys 

are supported throughout their educational 

endeavours, and we also make sure that they 

get to experience everything our beautiful 

Nelson region offers.

Nelson College offers the very best in boarding. With a welcoming 

family environment, our school has consistently high-level academic, 

sporting and leadership programmes.

Home away from home at St Margaret’s College 

With its warm, caring home-awayfrom-home 

atmosphere, boarding at St 

Margaret’s College combines a worldclass 

education with building strong 

relationships and learning lifelong 

values. 

When school finishes at the end of 

each day, the boarding houses come 

alive with the sounds of many voices 

and laughter and because the boarding 

school is an integral part of the school 

campus those who chose to can attend 

extra circular and after-school activities 

without disruption. 

The boarding community is at the 

heart of St Margaret’s and the culture is 

closely aligned with the school’s vision 

of a holistic education, embracing the 

spiritual and emotional wellbeing of the 

girls, as well as their academic growth 

and their development in sport and 

the arts. St Margaret’s is a place where 

girls are believed in and become strong 

women of the future and where great 

boarding friendships last a lifetime. 

The three boarding houses 

are arranged in year groups and 

structured to the specific needs of each 

developmental stage. In Julius House 

(Y7-10) the environment is structured 

and nurturing for the girls to make 

the transition into boarding. Kilburn 

House (Y11-12) encourages the girls to 

begin personally integrating these skills. 

Cranmer House (Y13) allows for more 

freedom to help them develop life skills 

and become driven, self-managed young 

women, all in a monitored setting. These 

senior girls thrive as they become the 

leaders of the boarding school and the 

‘older sisters’ of the younger girls. 

The boarding staff take pride in having 

the privilege of watching the girls grow 

into incredible young women and 

treasure the moments they capture with 

them. Warm, open relationships develop 

over the years as they share the girls’ 

highs and lows, encourage, celebrate and 

nurture as they all journey through life 

together.

Gardening 

Don’t put the gumboots away just yet 

IT’S THAT time of the year when 

gardeners are yearning for spring 

– and it’s just around the corner. 

In many areas, it’s still very cold 

and soils are wet so you may need 

to don the gumboots before you 

head out to the back yard. 

August is an excellent time for 

planning your new season garden 

and completing your planting of 

deciduous ornamental and fruit 

trees. 

Continue to harvest winter 

maturing vegetables and 

where the soil is friable (easily 

crumbled) and not too wet, sow 

seeds of beetroot, carrots, onions, 

peas, radish and spinach. 

Continue to cultivate soil in 

preparation for early spring 

planting by chopping up and 

digging in any green manure 

crops. This will significantly 

improve the organic content of 

the soil. If you haven’t grown any 

green manure crops, then add 

in compost and mix well with 

existing soil. 

If possible, try and raise the 

planting areas to 100-120mm 

above the existing ground level. 

Drainage will be improved and 

soils will warmer quicker in 

spring if you do this. 

Winter flowering annuals will 

be at their best and late flowering 

annuals such as cineraria are now 

beginning to bloom. Continue 

last plantings of alyssum, 

calendulas, cornflower, larkspur, 

lobelia, pansy, snapdragon, 

stock, violas and wallflowers. 

These flowering annuals are also 

perfect for growing in containers 

and provide instant colour in 

the garden. Start preparing your 

summer flower beds as they can 

be planted out towards the end of 

next month. 

It’s cropping time for 

many citrus; late mandarins 

(clementine), lemons, navel 

oranges, grapefruit and limes. 

While seminole tangelos look 

very attractive on trees, you will 

need to be patient as they won’t 

be sweet enough for eating until

Give pip and stone fruit trees 

a spray of copper oxychloride so 

they start the new growing season 

in a healthy state. Complete 

pruning of kiwifruit as they will

Feijoas should be pruned 

to “thin cut” their typical 

dense branch growth. This 

enables better light penetration 

throughout the bush and 

ultimately increased fruit 

production next season. Young 

strawberry plants will be in active 

growth already. 

Pinch out any flowers that may 

appear as plants will not form 

healthy berries until well into 

spring. Apply copper oxychloride 

MAINTENANCE: 

It’s time to 

sharpen the 

blades of your 

mower so that 

your lawn gets 

an even cut. 

Do the last of 

your pruning, 

especially roses. 

to help maintain plants in a 

healthy state. 

Complete the pruning of rose 

varieties that were very late 

dropping their leaves. While 

plants are dormant, apply a 

copper oxychloride and/or 

horticultural oil spray to ‘clean 

up’ any overwintering pests or 

diseases. The addition of fresh 

compost around existing plants 

will greatly benefit early spring 

growth. 

In most parts of New Zealand 

there is little grass growth in 

August. However, it is not too 

far away. Get your mower blades 

sharpened and identify any 

problem areas in the lawn to be 

rectified in spring/early summer. 

In wet shady areas, there is often 

significant moss growth which 

will usually disappear over the 

hot dry summer months. 

However, you may want to over 

sow these areas with fresh law 

seed from October onwards. 

Continue to plant out 

ornamental shrubs and trees. 

Site preparation is critical to the 

success of these plantings so avoid 

areas that are exceptionally wet, 

unless you are planting specimens 

that specifically grow in these 

conditions. 

Add compost to all planting 

sites and cultivate soil thoroughly 

before planting. Allow enough 

space between new trees and 

shrubs for full development. Be 

guided by local plantings in parks, 

friends and neighbours gardens 

when considering what to plant. 

Weather dependant, August 

can be an outstanding month 

for bulbs in the home garden. 

daffodils, hyacinths, jonquil, 

lachenalia and muscari, should be 

either in bloom or not far away. 

A good trick is to mark the best 

performing varieties with small 

bamboo stakes as you may wish 

to lift and divide those once bulbs 

are dormant.

SELWYN TIMES 

Impreza still carries bargain price 

FOR AS LONG as there has been 

a Subaru Impreza, there’s also been 

an affordable way into buying one. 

Subaru New Zealand has always 

listed a budget model, it started off 

around 2006 with a $25k figure for 

the mid-size liftback/wagon with 

permanently engaged four-wheeldrive 

and, yes, a high and low 

transfer case. 

Of course, over the years, and 

with inflation, the Impreza is now 

listed at $32,490 for the one and 

only Sport model, but that is still 

an amazing price for what you get, 

Subaru’s problem with this car over 

the years is continuation of supply. 

It’s certainly the company’s best 

kept secret, it is a package that has 

stuck with me over the years, and 

although I’ve never had the outlay 

to buy one I have been responsible 

for several sales, and I still see it 

as the first choice if I was in the 

market for new car. 

The Impreza has just undergone 

a very mild facelift, it gets a little bit 

of extra tech and has had a minor 

cosmetic facelift. 

Elsewhere it is still the 

same versatile model that has 

commanded healthy sales. Cars 

which have longevity on their side 

only get there by being desirable, 

and the Impreza over the years has 

succeeded against big odds – the 

sport utility vehicle market. 

Part of what makes the Impreza 

desirable is its driveline, even 

though the high/low gearing 

system has long since gone, it is 

still four-wheel-drive, and the 

horizontally-opposed engine layout 

is, in itself, a point of difference. 

Boxer engines have been 

Subaru’s design choice since the 

Omega/Leone of the 70s. Today, 

the company builds both fourcylinder 

and six-cylinder flat 

engines in varying capacities, and 

some with turbochargers, in the 

base model Impreza’s case it is a 

naturally-aspirated 2-litre unit with 

quad camshafts. 

It is rated by Subaru with 115kW 

(6000rpm) and 196Nm of torque 

developed at 4000rpm. While 

these figures don’t seem anything 

special you have to bear in mind 

that boxer engines are honest 

and torquey from low down and 

that’s what makes them appealing, 

they feel strong from beneath the 

accelerator pedal. Drive is delivered 

through a seven-step continuously 

variable transmission. 

Subaru have developed this 

gearbox to the point where it 

doesn’t feel like CVT. It works 

much like a traditional torque 

converter automatic, and there are 

even paddle shifters so that the 

driver can manipulate the gearing 

for every likely driving situation. 

Left to its own engine 

management protocols, the 

transition of power through the 

CVT is smooth, and seamless and 

STYLE: The Subaru Impreza has a traditional hatchback 

rear. 

SUBARU IMPREZA SPORT: Four-wheel-drive and boxer engine is a tempting mix. 

power is relatively unimpeded; of 

course, there are driver operated 

push-button intelligent drive 

mechanisms which can alter the 

flow of power – intelligent or sport. 

Sport mode does tend to keep the 

engine unnecessarily busy, while 

the intelligent setting works out 

the best engine operating pattern 

depending on accelerator pressure. 

Subaru have also been proactive 

in keeping the boxer desirable in 

terms of fuel usage. Today, the 

2-litre unit is rated with a 6.6-litre 

per 100km combined cycle average, 

that’s as good as any 2-litre petrol 

inline engine and adds desirability 

into the equation. I was relatively 

gentle with the Impreza during 

the time it was in my care, and 

it was used mostly in central 

city conditions, but with one 

lengthy open road journey west to 

Hororata. 

On the highway, the fuel usage 

readouts list at around 5l/100km 

with the engine loping over at 

just 1600rpm in the tallest part of 

the gearing. When I took the car 

back to the dealership my average 

was showing around 7.4l/100km, 

which makes Subaru’s claim quite 

realistic. 

Even though the Impreza is an 

easy car to drive at all speeds, it 

punches above its weight when it 

comes time to accepting the back 

road challenges and the twisty 

• Price – Subaru Impreza 

Sport, $32,490 

• Dimensions – Length, 

4460mm; width, 1775mm; 

height, 1480mm 

• Configuration – Fourcylinder, 

four-wheel-drive, 

1995cc, 115kW, 196Nm, 

seven-step automatic. 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 11.1sec 

• Fuel usage – 6.6l/100km 

nature of our high country corners. 

Four-wheel-drive adds an element 

of extra grip all of the time, not 

just on slippery surfaces. With 

that comes the benefit of fourcorner 

independent suspension, 

and with high grade spring and 

damper technology the Impreza 

feels nimble and agile. There is 

little body movement in a corner, 

and the suspension does a quality 

job of balancing ride comfort with 

the firming needed to control 

gravitation force. 

Directed into a tight corner, 

the front steers with direct turnin 

and solid feedback at the 

steering wheel, grip to the rear 

is pronounced as the suspension 

can be felt working dealing to any 

uneven surface. 

The Impreza also gets high grade 

Bridgestone Turanza tyres (205/50 

x 17in), and while their diameter is 

a little on the small side, you don’t 

need low profile tyres on this car, 

it handles beautifully and is kind 

to the occupants in terms of on 

comfort. 

Those on board also get the 

benefit of all the features you’d 

expect in a 2020 car. Major 

features include keyless entry and 

ignition, auto stop-start, multifunction 

displays and smartphone 

adaptability. All new Subaru’s 

sold in this country get the clever 

Eyesight technology which is a 

camera-based driver assist safety 

system which goes a long way to 

earning the Impreza a five-star 

Australasian New Car Assessment 

Program rating. 

The Impreza represents amazing 

value, and benefits from Subarus 

determination to make cars that 

are just that little bit different yet 

are engineered to capably fill many 

roles. 

There are few cars in today’s 

market that compete with the 

concept of Impreza, and they sit 

near what you would describe as a 

crossover or SUV. 

I like traditional sedans and 

liftbacks, the Impreza would suit 

me fine, I’ve always regretted 

not buying one of the entry-level 

models, I guess it’s not too late, 

but it’s a matter of lining up all the 

financial ducks in a row. 

From family cars to work trucks and 

supercars to fixer-uppers.

COMMUNITY 

NITRATE TESTING 

Over 15,000 Selwynites get their drinking water 

from a private bore. Nitrate readings are available 

for township supply via the SDC website but if 

you have a private bore you need to test your own 

water. As a community service we are offering an 

accurate test for a low cost. 

Date: Sun Aug 23 between 10am and 1pm 

Venue: Springston South Soldiers 

Memorial Hall, 433 Days Road 

Cost: $5 per test 

Please bring: at least 120ml of your drinking 

water in a clean container labelled with your 

name and contact details. 

Thanks to The NZ Federation of Freshwater Anglers

Homeownership: should you 

make a will? 

If you have just bought your first home or 

already own a property, then the answer to 

this is yes. 

Purchasing a home is one of the biggest 

investments you may make during your 

lifetime. 

It is, therefore, necessary to decide who 

will be the benefactor/s of your property 

and belongings should you suddenly pass 

away. To do this, you need to create a will. 

A will states who receives what in the event 

of your death. 

Anyone over 18 

years old can 

create a will. 

According to the Public Trust, over 50% 

of New Zealanders do not have a will. 

Young people, aged from 25 to 39 years, 

who are financially independent, feature 

highly in this area, and yet they are a group 

more likely to indulge in adventurous 

holidays and take part in risky extreme 

sports. Accumulated assets of this age 

group might include a bike, car, TV, house, 

and furniture, along with a vast range of 

electronic and digital gear. 

With the arrival of a family, having a 

will in place is even more essential and yet, 

according to the survey taken in 2014, only 

30% of 25-40 year-olds, with children, have 

a will in place. 

A will not only legally takes care of the 

property, and the monetary side of things 

but can also state who will take care of 

children in the event of an untimely death. 

What happens if there is no will 

The lack of a will can create problems 

over who will benefit from the estate - this 

is especially important if there are children, 

de facto relationships, children from 

previous relationships, family 

members with addictions, or 

where a business is involved. 

Where there is no will, the 

estate goes into ‘intestacy’, 

which means a court will 

appoint an administrator, 

who does the same job as 

an executor, to manage the 

estate. The administrator has 

the authority to act on behalf 

of the deceased and applies 

to the High Court for letters 

of administration (power to 

administrate the estate). 

The Administration Act 

1969 provides a code to 

be followed that ensures the estate is 

administered in order of priority. (Check 

out Wills at www.communitylaw.org.nz) 

Save time and money 

Before meeting with your lawyer, and 

to help save time and money, decide in 

advance how you want to distribute your 

will – determine who will receive what. 

You can also create a DIY will online, 

but if the distribution of your property is 

complicated, you may need to contact a 

lawyer for additional help. 

For your will to be valid and legally 

binding it must be signed in front of two 

witnesses, who also must sign it. The 

witnesses are not in any way responsible for 

what is in the will or its execution. 

Four steps to creating a will 

1. Nominate an executor – the person 

who will manage the distribution of your 

property. 

2. Choose how you want to be buried or 

cremated, and how you want your funeral 

to be held, i.e. small and private, at a 

church, or in a garden. Make sure family or 

friends know in advance what you want to 

happen, as the reading of the will may not 

be before the funeral. 

3. Appoint a guardian/s for your 

children (if under 18) and your pets. 

Discuss this with prospective guardians, 

so they are prepared and understand their 

responsibility. 

4. Decide who will receive what and how 

much; this may include money, property, 

and personal belongings, as well as selected 

charities.

Opening 30th May 2020! 

Building blocks to a new home 

Anyone intending to build a new home 

should have the builder’s contract 

checked out by an experienced lawyer. 

A payment schedule can also minimise 

financial risks. Issues that you may have 

to deal with include: 

the deposit, guarantees and warranties 

If you want to compare building 

companies, it’s important to get down 

to finer details such as how many power 

points there are per room, the type of 

windows you are having or which paint 

finishes are included. 

Questions to ask builders: 

• Do you have a completion guarantee 

and how does it work? 

• Is there a loss of deposit guarantee? 

• Is the company a Registered Master 

Builder and does it use third-party 

written guarantees? 

• What is the schedule for payments? 

• How are the deposit and 

progress payments 

administered? 

• Are they held in a solicitor’s trust 

fund? 

• Will the master franchisor complete 

the build if the franchisee goes out of 

business 

• What are the exact specs? 

• Are the prices fixed? 

• What is excluded from the build? 

• Are there any restrictions on 

driveways or any other connections? 

• Can you speak with clients who have 

just completed a build? 

Do your homework before you decide 

on a building company and you will have 

a less stressful time once the building 

process starts.

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections 

in the Selwyn District 

Building an energy 

efficient home 

Good sized windows facing north capture heat from the sun. 

Modern homes are easier to heat yet 

greater energy efficiency can be achieved. 

The first step is to ensure there is 

opportunity for passive heat from the sun, 

achieved by having good sized windows 

and positioning the home’s living space 

towards the north/north west. This will 

lessen the need to turn on the heating to 

maintain a comfortable temperature. 

Now standard for external windows 

and doors, double glazing creates a rigid 

air barrier between two panes of glass, 

minimising heat loss through the windows. 

Where these are retrofitted however, the 

existing cavity is unlikely to be square so 

packing will be needed to align the window, 

resulting in gaps leading to the potential for 

heat loss. 

Choosing a solid internal door between 

the garage and home is a better option than 

a cavity slider, as there will be less draughts. 

Building paper is the minimum standard 

for lining a house though there are higher 

specified products like Ecoply and RAB 

Board. 

Dean McGuigan, Director of Golden 

Homes Canterbury says they use RAB 

Board on all the homes they build. 

This has a polystyrene backing, which 

provides a rigid bearing and a thermal and 

acoustic break. It creates an air barrier and 

separation of heat meaning cold air is kept 

out of the home and warm air in (with 

the reverse effect in summer). Dean says, 

RAB 

board 

provides 

rigidity & 

thermal 

benefits. 

while it may add around $3-4,000 to the 

build price, the results are phenomenal 

with tremendous power savings. 

“Using RAB Board makes the most 

difference to retaining heat in a home,” adds 

Dean. 

High quality CodeMark LED lights also 

make a significant difference. These give off 

very minimal heat so it is safe to lay pink 

batts directly over the top of these. This was 

not the case with incandescent and halogen 

lights, which became very hot. With low 

cost LED lights too, insulation must be cut 

150mm away from the light fitting, which 

leaves a gap for heat to escape and drafts to 

enter the home. 

“The heat will find the weakest link and 

escape through it,” reminds Dean. 

Garages generally have few windows and 

are usually sited on the southern/eastern 

side of a home so the living area can face 

north/northwest. Where a garage is used as 

a gym, office, children’s play area or work 

room, then the ceiling, walls and door 

might be insulated. However, insulation 

merely prevents the transference of hot or 

cold air so heat will still need to be put in 

and a heat pump might be installed for this 

purpose. 

Dean says while energy proofing your 

new home may add a little extra to the 

build cost, there are long-term economic 

benefits in lower power costs. He invites 

those keen to look at ways to make their 

new home more energy efficient, to visit 

Golden Homes’ The Borough showhome in 

Rolleston. 

Checklist for selling your home 

MAKE SMALL FIXES 

Inspect your home with a buyer’s 

eyes, and correct the flaws that are 

most egregious (if affordable) or 

can be relatively easily fixed—from 

repairing cracks in the walkways 

to repainting dingy walls or oiling 

creaky hinges. 

SET A PRICE 

A real estate agent will give you a 

market analysis free of charge or 

commitment. Ask a few to get a 

broader picture of the market, then 

ask to see listings for properties 

similar to yours that have sold 

in the past six months. Check 

out comparable listings yourself 

in the real estate section of your 

newspaper or on websites. Then 

decide whether you want a quick, 

easy sale or the highest possible 

price. 

CLEAN & DECLUTTER 

Weed out excess furniture, 

knicknacks, and “stuff ”—toss it, 

donate it, give it away, sell it at a 

yard sale, or put it into storage—so 

the house seems more spacious and 

buyers can imagine themselves in it. 

STAY VIGILIANT ABOUT 

MAINTENANCE 

From the moment you start 

showing your house, keep the lawn 

mowed, shrubs trimmed, gardens 

weeded, rooms spotless and 

clutter-free. 

READY YOUR HOME FOR 

OPEN DAYS 

Hide pocketable valuables, 

display fresh flowers or bowls 

of fruit, bake a batch of cookies 

for the homey smell, open the 

drapes, keep pets out of sight. 

DECIDE WHETHER TO DO 

YOUR OWN BUILDING 

INSPECTION 

It may save you time, especially 

with older homes, to identify— 

and potentially solve—problems 

your buyer’s inspection will 

discover later.

A large, quality home sited in a private and established 

5021m 2 park-like se ting in the sought after Claremont
