Review under way after<br />
house fire reignited<br />
• By Matt Slaughter<br />
FIREFIGHTERS say they<br />
did all they could to<br />
prevent horse trainers Tony<br />
and Lyn Prendergast’s West<br />
Melton house going up in<br />
flames.<br />
The Weedons Ross Rd<br />
property was destroyed a few<br />
hours after fire crews thought<br />
they had put out an initial<br />
blaze.<br />
Prendergast, 84, who was<br />
terminally ill with cancer, was<br />
pulled out of the house by Lyn<br />
when the first fire started about<br />
5pm on <strong>August</strong> 9.<br />
Firefighters arrived, contained<br />
the blaze and thought they had<br />
put it out. Lyn was allowed to go<br />
back in and retrieve her phone<br />
and wallet.<br />
But at 1.30am insulation and<br />
bird nests in the ceiling space<br />
reignited destroying the house<br />
and all of the Prendergast’s<br />
horse racing trophies and<br />
memorabilia.<br />
Prendergast succumbed to<br />
his cancer a week after the fire.<br />
His family decided to keep the<br />
second blaze and loss of trophies<br />
from him.<br />

THERE’S a potential powder<br />
keg ticking away in Hororata<br />
in the form of its planned<br />
new community centre (see<br />
pages 9-10).<br />
The $4.6 million centre will<br />
be funded from a variety of<br />
sources if it goes ahead.<br />
The planned centre is<br />
causing division to the point<br />
people are frightened to go<br />
public with their viewpoint.<br />
There is concern over who<br />
will pay for the ongoing<br />
running costs if the district<br />
council gives it the tick,<br />
and why several hundred<br />
thousand dollars sitting in a<br />
community fund should be<br />
used to help build it.<br />

District’s economy<br />
buoyant in spite of pandemic<br />
SELWYN’S ECONOMY is<br />
showing positive signs in spite<br />
of the impacts of the Covid-19<br />
pandemic.<br />
The district was one of the few<br />
in the country whose economy<br />
grew in the year to June according<br />
to economic profile figures<br />
released by analysts Infometrics.<br />
The figures show <strong>Selwyn</strong> was<br />
one of only 11 districts where<br />
gross domestic<br />
product grew<br />
over the past<br />
year. It is up 1.3<br />
per cent over the<br />
year to June.<br />
Across<br />
Sam<br />
Broughton<br />
Canterbury,<br />
GDP fell by 2.3<br />
per cent and<br />
by 2.1 per cent<br />
nationally.<br />
The district also saw an<br />
increase in consumer spending<br />
in the past year, it is up three<br />
per cent due to strong spending<br />
in the first three quarters of the<br />
year.<br />
House sales rose by eight per<br />
cent and house prices by two per<br />
cent.<br />
Infometrics data shows the<br />
STABLE: The district’s economy has fared well compared<br />
to the rest of the country with a 1.3 per cent jump in gross<br />
domestic product over the last year. <br />
number of residential building<br />
consents issued in the district increased<br />
by 45.2 per cent during<br />
the year to June.<br />
The number of consents in<br />
New Zealand increased by 8.1<br />
per cent over the same period.<br />
Tourism spending was down<br />
by 7.6 per cent, though the drop<br />
was significantly less than the 12<br />
per cent fall across Canterbury<br />
and nationally.<br />
The number of people receiving<br />
Jobseeker support rose by<br />
41.9 per cent with 860 people<br />
receiving it and 124 people<br />
comedy night<br />

receiving the Covid-19 income<br />
relief payment in the district.<br />
This is up from 421 people<br />
receiving Jobseeker support in<br />
June last year.<br />
However, the unemployment<br />
rate in <strong>Selwyn</strong> remained unchanged<br />
from the same time last<br />
year, at 2.3 per cent.<br />
Mayor Sam Broughton said<br />
the figures give some comfort,<br />
but the full impacts of the<br />
pandemic show the need for<br />
caution.<br />
“<strong>Selwyn</strong> is well placed, based<br />
on our strong community and<br />
diversified economy and the figures<br />
back that up. However, they<br />
also show signs that many of our<br />
households and businesses are<br />
hard-pressed and we face challenging<br />
times ahead.<br />
“Our council is continuing<br />
to support local New Zealand<br />
businesses, and we will all need<br />
to keep supporting each other as<br />
things continue to change over<br />
the coming months.”<br />

‘I believe they<br />
did it right’<br />
• From page 1<br />
Area fire commander Dave<br />
Berry said firefighters had done<br />
all they could have to ensure<br />
the fire did not flare up. An<br />
operational review of what had<br />
happened was under way.<br />
“What the crews did, they had<br />
thermal imaging cameras and<br />
they went through the whole<br />
place three times with the cameras,”<br />
said Berry.<br />
“They then hung around and<br />
had a debrief and then went back<br />
with the cameras. I believe they<br />
did it right.<br />
“We have what we call an<br />
operational review. We just look<br />
at the actions and active strategies<br />
and what our learnings can<br />
be from there and training or<br />
response needed.”<br />
The cause of the first fire is<br />
still being investigated but it is<br />
believed to have been started by<br />
an electrical appliance.<br />
The Prendergast’s son-inlaw<br />
Dean Lory said while he<br />
understands fires can reignite, it<br />
was “bizarre” it happened<br />
just hours after crews left the<br />
scene.<br />
“Whether their thermal<br />
imaging camera was actually<br />
working properly, you don’t<br />
know.”<br />

Two more sought over<br />
caravan break-in<br />
• By Devon Bolger<br />
TWO MEN have been arrested<br />
and another two are being sought<br />
over an alleged attack on a man in a<br />
caravan in Darfield.<br />
A group of men, allegedly<br />
armed with pool cues and<br />
wrenches, forced their way into a<br />
caravan on McLaughlin St about<br />
10pm on <strong>August</strong> 9.<br />
The occupant, a man in his<br />
20s, suffered minor injuries. He<br />
managed to fight the group off.<br />
Two men from Darfield are<br />
facing charges of burglary with a<br />
weapon in relation to the incident.<br />
Detective Sergeant Michael<br />
Varnam said police are asking the<br />
public to help them identify two<br />
other men who may be able to<br />
assist with the investigation.<br />
They are not believed to live in<br />
the district, but spend time in the<br />
area, he said.<br />
“One of the people who has been<br />
arrested is a previous associate of<br />
the victim so it wasn’t just random,<br />
there is some sort of bad blood<br />
there but we don’t know the actual<br />
motive,” said Varnam.<br />
Nothing was taken from the<br />
caravan.<br />
HELP: Police are asking<br />
for the public’s help in<br />
identifying these two men,<br />
who may be able to assist<br />
with inquiries into a caravan<br />
break-in in Darfield. <br />
If anyone has any<br />
information or is able to<br />
identify the males, please<br />
phone Detective Sergeant<br />
Michael Varnam of the<br />
Christchurch Police on<br />

Community patrol<br />
helps police; group gets new vehicle<br />
• By Devon Bolger<br />
VOLUNTEER community<br />
patrollers will help police combat<br />
car and building site thefts.<br />
The <strong>Selwyn</strong> Community<br />
Watch has been tasked with<br />
door-knocking in the district to<br />
educate people about keeping<br />
their possessions safe.<br />
Senior Sergeant Stephen<br />
McDaniel said the new strategy<br />
will involve the community<br />
watch and possibly other similar<br />
groups.<br />
“It is a three-pronged approach,<br />
one is going to be approaching<br />
areas where car theft<br />
has happened. We will drop<br />
flyers and door-knock to give<br />
them information on why it is<br />
happening,” he said.<br />
“We will be also going to<br />
building sites and having<br />
face-to-face meetings with site<br />
managers.”<br />
Lastly, police and the community<br />
watch will be trying to identify<br />
householders with security<br />
cameras who can be contacted if<br />
crime occurs in the area.<br />
McDaniel said they are still<br />
determining exactly where<br />
they will be door-knocking but<br />

it will be areas that are prone to<br />
thefts.<br />
In May <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> reported<br />
residents in the Rosemerryn subdivision<br />
in Lincoln were sharing<br />
security camera video in a bid to<br />
catch thieves.<br />
The move came after burglars<br />
struck at a house under construction,<br />
stealing whiteware.<br />
Resident Simon Bennett said<br />
the footage, shared amongst a<br />
residents’ Facebook group, had<br />
been sent to police.<br />
The new police strategy<br />
comes as the community watch<br />
purchased a new $30,000 patrol<br />
vehicle which will help them<br />
keep the streets safe.<br />
Community watch member<br />
Murray Allison said it is good to<br />
have the new Mazda CX-5.<br />
“It is absolutely brilliant to<br />
have a modern car with all of the<br />
safety features. It has all the bells<br />
and whistles.<br />
“It is a very safe car and that’s<br />
paramount for us. It is great we<br />
have a car we can connect with<br />
police through, it is linked in to<br />

The car was purchased with<br />

The patrol is run by volunteers,<br />
who work along with police.<br />
There are 39 active patrollers and<br />
seven more in training currently.<br />

Open day<br />
for new<br />
rugby<br />
clubrooms<br />
THE ROLLESTON Rugby Club<br />
is holding an open day this Friday<br />
to mark the relocation of their<br />
clubrooms to Foster Park.<br />
The clubrooms have also<br />
undergone a full refurbishment of<br />
the inside and outside.<br />
Said club vice president Mark<br />
Leonard: “We’ve put a huge<br />
amount of time and effort into<br />
this and we would like to show<br />
it off to the wider community as<br />
best we can.”<br />
Sponsors, committee and life<br />
members will meet for a ribboncutting<br />
ceremony at 6pm while<br />
the public is welcome from 7pm.<br />
Free membership will also be<br />
on offer for the next 12 months.<br />
The club had to vacate its<br />
Rolleston Reserve site to make<br />
way for the Rolleston Town<br />
Centre development.<br />
The clubrooms were moved into<br />
two sections in February this year<br />
by Laing Properties before the<br />
refurbishment work started.<br />
The district council has also<br />
provided new changing rooms at<br />
Foster Park.<br />

PRESSURE FROM the<br />
community appears to have<br />
led to a U-turn on a proposal<br />
to expand a waste facility near<br />
Prebbleton.<br />
Waste Management Ltd applied<br />
for resource consent to<br />
operate a new hazardous waste<br />
treatment and stabilisation plant<br />
at its site on Marshs Rd.<br />

MOWING<br />
residents began<br />
fighting the planned expansion<br />
earlier this year, a trust was set<br />
up to help manage the $11,500<br />
that was donated to the cause.<br />

Pak’N Save could replace New World<br />
• By Devon Bolger<br />
THE NEW World supermarket<br />
in Rolleston may become a<br />
Pak’N Save.<br />
The proposed move was included<br />
in the draft Master Plan<br />
for the town centre which was<br />
adopted last week.<br />
In the plan it also states if<br />
the supermarket is to become a<br />
Pak’N Save, the New World will<br />
be demolished.<br />
District council group manager<br />
property Douglas Marshall<br />
said a resource consent application<br />
from Foodstuffs for a possible<br />
Pak’N Save on their site had<br />
been granted.<br />
“No further applications from<br />
Foodstuffs have been lodged<br />
with council. As with any resource<br />
consent, the applicant has<br />
up to five years to exercise this<br />
consent.<br />
“With regards to the council’s<br />
planning for the Rolleston Town<br />
Centre, it was important for the<br />
council to consider what impact<br />
possible developments nearby<br />
would have.”<br />
Hence why the proposed<br />
Pak’N Save is included in the<br />
Master Plan even though the site<br />
is outside of the Rolleston Town<br />
Centre, Marshall said.<br />
FoodStuffs head of corporate<br />
CHANGE: The New World supermarket may become a Pak’N Save with the district<br />
council’s Douglas Marshall (inset) saying it has granted resource consent for the move.<br />
affairs Antoinette Laird would<br />
not confirm whether the change<br />
is going ahead.<br />
“Foodstuffs is currently evaluating<br />
the design proposal for the<br />
Rolleston Town Centre and is<br />
yet to decide on an outcome that<br />
can best service the Rolleston<br />
community,” she said.<br />
Another interesting feature of<br />
the plan is space for a cinema.<br />
“The community has been<br />
keen on a cinema in Rolleston<br />
for a number of years and we are<br />
keen to be able to deliver on that<br />
if we can.<br />
“The council is continuing<br />

bolger@starmedia.kiwi<br />
to work with various parties to<br />

in the best possible way for<br />
the community.”<br />
The New World supermarket<br />
in Rolleston has been operating<br />
since 2000. Countdown opened<br />
in 2011.<br />
The Rolleston Town Centre<br />
project has been the subject of<br />
significant discussion over the<br />
past 10 years.<br />
The draft Master Plan includes<br />
a preliminary concept for the<br />
reserve including passive recreational<br />
areas as well as youth and<br />
sensory spaces.<br />
A sensory garden is planned<br />
to be a space that is accessible to<br />
all residents including those with<br />
diverse needs.<br />
A district council spokesman<br />
said public consultation on the<br />
plan will begin shortly.<br />
Lincoln manse<br />
building<br />
still up for sale<br />
NOBODY APPEARS interested<br />
in buying Lincoln’s old manse<br />
building for $1.<br />
The building is owned by the<br />
Lincoln Union Church. Member<br />
Alex Dunlop said they have had<br />
nine interested parties so far but<br />
none have progressed toward taking<br />
it.<br />
He said the building has now<br />
been advertised on Trade Me and<br />
they are feeling hopeful this will<br />
lead to a sale.<br />
The manse, which was built in<br />
1889, is being offered up for relocation<br />
as the church can no longer<br />
afford to maintain it.<br />
“We have built a new hall next to<br />
our church and will no longer require<br />
the old Manse. We are keen<br />
for someone to remove the manse<br />
to make a new life for it.”<br />
Mr Dunlop said they are offering<br />
the building for $1 in the<br />
hope that someone will appreciate<br />
the history and the architectural<br />
significance of the building.<br />
Demolition had been planned<br />
for March this year but has been<br />
deferred.<br />

Rolleston Costume and Event Hire<br />
expands with a move to Iport<br />
Rolleston Costume and Event Hire<br />
has just moved into new purposebuilt<br />
premises in Freight Drive in<br />
Rolleston’s Iport industrial zone to<br />
accommodate their expanding<br />
range of services.<br />
Costume hire has always been the<br />
core of Deborah and Kirk’s business.<br />
They started hiring costumes out<br />
of their garage and grew into a<br />
purpose-built building at home<br />
before outgrowing that too. “After<br />
eight years we now have more than<br />
3,000 costumes available for hire,<br />
plus a range of accessories for hire<br />
or sale,” says Deborah.<br />
Rolleston Costume and Event<br />
Hire has just about every type of<br />
costume you can imagine, and<br />
caters for both children and adults,<br />
with a size range that goes from<br />
small to plus sizes.<br />
If you want to make a statement at<br />
the next themed party, check out<br />
Rolleston Costume and Event Hire’s<br />
new website. The hire cost is $20 for<br />
children or $35 for adults.<br />
The company is excited to have<br />
expanded the business with a<br />
growing range of items for events.<br />
This includes the basics like tables<br />
and chairs, as well as themed<br />
backdrops (think Halloween,<br />
the 1980s or 1950s), mobile bars,<br />
gangster car and Kombie van<br />
props, wedding archways, flower<br />
and greenery walls and creepy<br />
Halloween or wild Western props.<br />
“We also have an amazing photo<br />
booth, candy floss and popcorn<br />
machines, as well as snow, fog and<br />
bubble machines, donut walls and<br />
so much more! If we haven’t got<br />
what a customer is looking for we’ll<br />
do our best to get it if it augments<br />
our hire range,” says Deborah<br />
Boutique dress hire is a new service<br />
that they have just introduced.<br />
“We have a growing range of good<br />
quality dresses to hire for $60 – the<br />
type you would wear to the races<br />
or a wedding or special occasion –<br />
in a wide range of styles, available<br />
in everything from size 4 to 22. We<br />
have fascinators and accessories<br />
to go with them,” she says. Why buy<br />
when you can hire for the day?<br />
Rolleston Costume and Event Hire’s<br />
website has the option to book<br />
items online, but Deborah says it<br />
is a work in progress with so many<br />
items to add, so it is best to call<br />
Rolleston Costume and Event Hire<br />
to check if something isn’t listed.<br />
You can find Rolleston Costume<br />
and Event Hire at 18 Freight Drive,<br />
Rolleston Iport – via their website<br />

Division over community centre<br />
Hororata was badly<br />
affected by the<br />
September 4, 2010,<br />
earthquake and a<br />
community group<br />
is trying to revitalise<br />
the township, but not<br />
everyone agrees a new<br />
community centre is<br />
the right way forward.<br />
Devon Bolger reports<br />
DISTRICT COUNCIL staff<br />
are recommending a review<br />
be undertaken on the cost<br />
to upgrade the Hororata<br />
Hall following feedback on a<br />
proposal for a new $4.6 million<br />
community centre.<br />
Group manager Douglas<br />
Marshall said they have reviewed<br />
the responses from public meetings<br />
held in Hororata in July as<br />
well as a number of comments<br />
received as part of consultation<br />
on the Hororata Reserve Master<br />
Plan.<br />
“These comments indicated<br />
continued support among the<br />
community for the proposed<br />
new community centre, but also<br />
asked the council to take into<br />
account retaining the existing<br />
community hall due to its lower<br />
upgrade cost.”<br />
Marshall said all plans for the<br />
facility will be reviewed and consulted<br />
on as part of the 2021-2031<br />
Long-Term Plan.<br />
The plans for the community<br />
centre appears to be dividing the<br />
township.<br />
On one side of the fence are<br />
those who think the proposed<br />
$4.6 million facility will be<br />
under-used and a financial<br />
burden on the 1000 or so people<br />
who live in the Hororata area.<br />
On the other side are those<br />
who say the community centre<br />
will help revitalise the area and<br />
attract people.<br />
Hororata suffered badly in the<br />
September 4, 2010, earthquake.<br />
Its well-known pub, a favourite<br />
stopover for skiers on the way<br />
to Mt Hutt was destroyed, the<br />
historic church went and the<br />
area slumped.<br />
Some people liked it that way;<br />
others saw the need to get the<br />
area back on its feet.<br />
The Hororata Community<br />
Trust was set up in 2011 and has<br />
had outstanding success with<br />
the annual Highland Games,<br />
attracting a crowd of 10,000, and<br />
more recently the Night Glow<br />
hot ballooning – which draws in<br />
14,000.<br />
They have become an integral<br />
part of Hororata, self-funding<br />
and not a drain on the community.<br />
But many are worried the<br />
$4.6 million community centre<br />
will.<br />
Go Hororata is behind the plan<br />
for the community centre.<br />
The group is made up of representatives<br />
from the Hororata<br />
Reserve Committee, citizens<br />
committee, tennis club, Scouts,<br />
rifle club, play centre, Hororata<br />
Primary School, the Hororata<br />
Parish and Hororata Community<br />
Trust and three independent<br />
members elected at a public<br />
meeting.<br />
But the plan for the new facility<br />
is a touchy subject.<br />
Some people mistakenly<br />
think the cost of the community<br />
centre will fall directly on those<br />
who live in the area. But that is<br />
H<br />
Bob Mugford<br />
not the case.<br />
The $4.6 million cost will be<br />
funded by $2 million from the<br />
Hororata Community Trust,<br />
$624,000 reserve development<br />
funds, $576,000 from the district<br />
council and $400,000 from the<br />
sale of the existing hall and<br />
land.<br />
The remaining $1 million will<br />
come from a district council loan<br />
paid back through rates across<br />
the <strong>Selwyn</strong> district.<br />
A community meeting was<br />
held late last month to discuss<br />
the concerns of residents with<br />
about 60 people in attendance.<br />
A ballot conducted at the<br />
meeting showed attendees are<br />
largely in opposition of the development.<br />
The results were 75.92<br />
per cent in favour of<br />
upgrading the existing<br />
hall and 24.08 per cent<br />
in favour of the new<br />
community centre.<br />
The current hall needs<br />
modernising but is not<br />
expected to need any<br />
seismic strengthening if<br />
it is to be retained.<br />
Malvern Ward councillor Bob<br />
Mugford said he is not convinced<br />
the results of the ballot accurately<br />
represent the views of the<br />
community.<br />
“Honestly, I don’t know, it<br />
depends on who turns up on the<br />
night. There are more people opposed<br />
to it than I thought there<br />
would be.<br />
“We had several earlier<br />
meetings and I honestly<br />
thought the whole<br />
community wanted this<br />
development.”<br />
The district council<br />
has not yet started formal<br />
consultation on the<br />
plans for the community<br />
centre.<br />
A possible site for<br />
the facility was merely included<br />
in the draft development plans<br />
for the Hororata Domain so<br />
DEVELOP:<br />
The Hororata<br />
Domain Master<br />
Plan with the<br />
proposed<br />
location of a<br />
new community<br />
centre which<br />
is marked<br />
as H. Many<br />
residents say it<br />
is unnecessary<br />
and there are<br />
fears it would<br />
reduce the size<br />
of the race track<br />
(below).<br />
it matches with what is in the<br />
Long-Term Plan.<br />
But getting people to commit<br />
to what they think about the<br />
community centre is tricky.<br />
Go Hororata Chairman Craig<br />
Blackburn refused to answer<br />
questions by the <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong>.<br />
“At this point in time I don’t<br />
want to put anything to press.<br />
That is probably the best way<br />
of putting it. There is a council<br />
process in place and at the time<br />
the results of that survey will<br />
be presented in the appropriate<br />
manner. “<br />
So what are his views on<br />
the feeling of the community?<br />
Blackburn said he would not<br />
comment.<br />

‘A bit of a waste of money’<br />
• From page 9<br />
The start of consultation on the<br />
Hororata Domain draft master<br />
plan seems to have created a<br />
sense of fear and suspicion.<br />
A resident representing 12<br />
people in the Hororata area approached<br />
the <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> with<br />
concerns over the community<br />
centre.<br />
All wanted to remain anonymous<br />
out of fear over backlash<br />
from people who want the community<br />
centre.<br />
She said the concerns include<br />
wanting the current hall to be<br />
retained and not wanting an “eye<br />
sore” in the domain.<br />
Another concern is the size of<br />
the racetrack would be reduced if<br />
the proposed site is chosen.<br />
During a trip to Hororata to<br />
gauge the feelings of the community,<br />
it became clear the new<br />
community centre is a very<br />
contentious topic.<br />
Resident David was filling his<br />
car up with petrol on the quiet<br />
Wednesday afternoon.<br />
He said he was happy to talk<br />
but only wanted his first name<br />
used as he feared repercussions<br />
for sharing his opinion.<br />
“I want the current hall<br />
upgraded. It [new community<br />
centre] is too expensive for the<br />
people here. There are only about<br />
300 residents in Hororata. Why<br />
would you spend that money on a<br />
hall that won’t be used?<br />
“It is better to be used on fixing<br />
the flooding out here or the hall<br />
we’ve got. You could spend maybe<br />
$1 million to upgrade the hall.”<br />
Not everybody in the township<br />
is echoing opposition to the<br />
development.<br />
Phillipp and Loma Booker<br />
A resident said they think the<br />
proposal for the new community<br />
centre is a good idea.<br />
They asked to remain completely<br />
anonymous as they have<br />
only lived in the township for<br />
a short time and said it felt like<br />
they were one of the only people<br />
in favour of the project.<br />
“It could bring more people<br />
and they have planned it to accommodate<br />
offices and open<br />
spaces for hundreds of people.<br />
“I have only lived here a short<br />
time and didn’t even know<br />
we had a hall. It is a short<br />
term investment for a long<br />
term gain.”<br />
Nicky answered her<br />
door with a suspicious<br />
look but when asked about<br />
her view on the community<br />
centre she did not<br />
hesitate to share.<br />
“I don’t think that we<br />
need a great big hall for the size<br />
of the community. Who would<br />
use it? There are lots of other issues<br />
out here to be fixed.<br />
“It’s a huge amount of money<br />
and it would leave the race track<br />
smaller. We moved here because<br />
of the wide-open spaces. I would<br />
definitely like to see our hall<br />
upgraded.’<br />
When asked for her name and<br />
if a photo could be taken, Nicky<br />
recoiled providing only her first<br />
name and refusing the photo.<br />
A number of residents spoken<br />
to by the <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> were on<br />
the fence about the proposal.<br />
Charlie Fenwick was walking<br />
to his car when asked about his<br />
opinion.<br />
He said he was unsure how he<br />
felt about the project.<br />
Charlie<br />
Fenwick<br />
“It does sound like a lot of<br />
money to spend. It is a hard one,<br />
it all depends. You would be<br />
lucky to see one person around<br />
here on a Friday night.<br />
“I mean a new community<br />
centre could be<br />
a good thing but also<br />
a bit of a waste of<br />
money.”<br />
Loma and Phillipp<br />
Booker were out celebrating<br />
Mr Booker’s<br />
birthday with lunch at<br />
the Hororata Village Bar<br />
and Cafe,<br />
They both said they were on<br />
the fence about what they would<br />
like to see happen.<br />
“The current hall has been<br />
there for a long time. I haven’t<br />
used it or had a need for it since<br />
about 30 years ago. The last time<br />
we were in the reserve was for the<br />
highland games.<br />
“I know you need to upgrade<br />
these things but I think you<br />
should compare the populations<br />
and how each facility is used and<br />
consider it from there,” said Mrs<br />
Booker.<br />
Following the visit to Hororata,<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> received a call<br />
from the resident representing<br />
the group of 12 who said more<br />
damage than good had been done<br />
by the visit to the township.<br />
Advertorial<br />
neighboring building now gives the<br />
business an open-space reception area,<br />
ample customer parking and an efficient<br />
collision repair area, a spacious and<br />
well-equipped vehicle assembly and<br />
refinishing area, as well as a car valet<br />
area and ample safe storage for cars<br />
waiting for repairs.<br />
Top award for local collision repair business<br />
Perfect Auto Body in Main South<br />
Road in Sockburn recently won the<br />
Overall Best Business award from the<br />
Collision Repair Association affirming the<br />
Christchurch-based business as one of<br />
New Zealand’s leading vehicle collision<br />
repair specialists.<br />
When presenting the top annual award<br />
from the association the judges said that<br />
that Perfect Auto Body is an extremely<br />
well presented, well oiled, and a highly<br />
efficient and productive collision repair<br />
facility that scored highly in almost every<br />
award category.<br />
Perfect Auto Body last won the coveted<br />
Overall Best Business award back in<br />
2009. Since then, managing director<br />
Wayne Houghton has acquired two<br />
additional directors and they have<br />
continued to grow and expand the<br />
business with a focus on work quality<br />
and efficiencies and providing an<br />
exceptional customer service.<br />
Garry Williams, a panel beater by<br />
trade, looks after the collision<br />
repair side of the business and<br />
Paul Choat, with his experience<br />
as a vehicle painter, looks<br />
after the refinishing – helping<br />
to create a market-leading<br />
collision repair facility.<br />
Recent expansion into the<br />
Perfect Auto Body is a full-service<br />
collision repair facility that handles all<br />
aspects of the repair in-house and they<br />

of the major insurance companies,<br />
including holding status as an ‘IAG<br />
Gold Repairer’.<br />
“Our staff are I-CAR trained and<br />

repair methods and technology and<br />

your car is returned to you in preaccident<br />
condition,” says Wayne.<br />

Rolleston pupil bowls<br />
the opposition over<br />
Rolleston School pupil Millie (middle) won the Canterbury Boccia<br />
Championship tournament last week. Three pupils from the school took<br />
part in the tournament at the Bishopdale YMCA. The other pupils are<br />
Lochlan (left), who was fifth, and Emma (right), fourth. Boccia is a game<br />
adapted from bowls and petanque. <br />
Planting for a greener future<br />
West Melton School pupils, including Sarah and Millie (above), got<br />
out their shovels to plant native trees at Kowhai Sanctuary. The event<br />
was held as part of the Kids Discovery Plantout programme. They<br />
planted Totara, Tī Kōuka and Kanuka trees. They also engaged in insect<br />
monitoring and were challenged to create something out of the natural<br />
resources that resembled the Māori legend Rūaumoko. <br />

Electoral<br />
process<br />
review<br />
under way<br />
• By Devon Bolger<br />
THE FIRST meeting to begin<br />
the review of the district<br />
council’s electoral process ahead<br />
of the next local body election<br />
was held last week.<br />
The next district council<br />
election will take place in 2022.<br />
All councils must undertake a<br />
review every six years.<br />
“The purpose of the meeting<br />
is for subcommittee members<br />
to gain further understanding<br />
of the process that council is<br />
statutorily bound to follow in a<br />
representation review process,”<br />
chief executive David Ward said<br />
in a report.<br />
A meeting schedule for the<br />
subcommittee going forward<br />
will now be prepared.<br />
The aim of the review is to<br />
consider matters such as the<br />
electoral system and whether to<br />
use first past the post or single<br />
transferable vote and effective<br />
representation of all people in<br />
the district.<br />
A potential change in the<br />
electoral system could be made<br />
under the review.<br />
Treatment plant upgrades<br />
will improve water quality<br />
FOUR WATER treatment<br />
plants have been upgraded<br />
as part of a wider project to<br />
improve the district’s water<br />
systems.<br />
Upgrades have been completed<br />
on treatment plants at Rakaia<br />
Huts, Tai Tapu, Claremont,<br />
Veuve Drive in Lincoln and<br />
Gallipoli St in Leeston adding<br />
treatment options such as ultra<br />
violet light.<br />
UV treatment is an effective<br />
method of disinfecting bacteria<br />
and is widely used around the<br />
world.<br />
The UV rays attack the<br />
genetic code of harmful<br />
pathogens rendering them<br />
unable to reproduce.<br />
As well as improving water<br />
quality, the plants will also<br />
provide additional storage as the<br />
district’s population grows.<br />
The work is part of a $23 million<br />
district-wide programme of<br />
59 projects to build and upgrade<br />
pump stations and water treatment<br />
plants, to increase capacity<br />
and improve water quality and<br />
safety.<br />
Work is also under way<br />
on treatment plant upgrades<br />
at Arthur’s Pass, Castle Hill,<br />
Dalethorpe, Springston, West<br />
Melton and Te Pirita.<br />
QUALITY: An<br />
upgrade to<br />
the Rakaia<br />
Huts water<br />
treatment<br />
plant has been<br />
completed.<br />
A further seven upgrades are<br />
planned over the next two years<br />
in Kirwee, Lincoln, Hororata,<br />
Darfield, Prebbleton, Springfield<br />
and Taumutu.<br />
District council group<br />
manager infrastructure Murray<br />
Washington said it is a part<br />
of a significant long-term<br />
commitment to keep improving<br />
the service to keep up with<br />
growth and health requirements.<br />
“Clean, safe drinking water<br />
is an essential service and we’re<br />
committed to providing the best<br />
service possible to make sure<br />
that people have access to a safe<br />
and sufficient supply.”<br />

THE ELLESMERE College<br />
student council is planning a<br />
drive-in movie night at the<br />
school to raise money for future<br />

The event in September will be<br />
Disney movie Up playing first for<br />
the younger audience followed by<br />
a screening of Grease.<br />
Said student council member<br />
Margarida Diaz: “The movies<br />
will be projected on to a large<br />
screen set up on a truck, and<br />
audio will be heard on your car<br />
radio through a supplied radio<br />
frequency.<br />
“Food and drink will be<br />
available for purchase.”<br />
Spaces for stalls to be set up will<br />
be available.<br />
The cost per car for one or<br />
both movies is $35 and tickets<br />
can be purchased through<br />

Tadpole snail handy<br />
in ponds and tanks<br />
PHYSELLA ACUTA, the<br />
acute bladder snail or<br />
tadpole snail is an invasive<br />
global species.<br />
This freshwater snail is<br />
a 6-10mm long sinistral<br />
species, meaning the<br />
aperture (opening) is on<br />
the left-hand side when the<br />
spire is pointing up and<br />
the aperture is facing the<br />
observer.<br />
The snails have four to<br />
five whorls in the shell<br />
and vary in colour from<br />
light honey to brown with<br />
yellow-orange spots on the<br />
shell.<br />
Unlike many other<br />
land and freshwater snails<br />
Physella acuta does not<br />
have an operculum, the<br />
trap-door structure used<br />
for defence. Instead it<br />
flicks its shell rapidly<br />
back and forth to avoid<br />
predation.<br />
The species has a wide<br />

The snail lives for 3-12<br />
months depending on the<br />

ADVERTORIAL<br />
Free Lincoln diplomas meet<br />
food and fibre employment needs<br />
A raft of food and<br />
fibre industry focused<br />
diplomas are now free<br />
at Lincoln University,<br />
helping meet growing<br />
employment demands<br />
in the thriving sector.<br />
Lincoln is the only New Zealand<br />
university included in the<br />
Government’s Targeted Training<br />
and Apprenticeship Fund, which is<br />
covering course costs for six diploma<br />
programmes from July <strong>2020</strong> until<br />
December 2022<br />
Diplomas in Horticulture, Agriculture,<br />
Farm Management, Organic Agri-Food<br />
Production, Horticultural Business,<br />
and Horticultural Management are all<br />
included in the scheme announced to<br />
support domestic students into jobs<br />
in the food and fibre sector.<br />
Lincoln University Acting Vice-<br />
Chancellor, Professor Bruce McKenzie,<br />
was thrilled about being included in<br />
the scheme.<br />
“There are urgent industry demands<br />
for skilled workers in areas such as<br />
agriculture and horticulture, and<br />
these practical-based courses will<br />
assist with that, producing graduates<br />
who have the skills to hit the ground<br />
running and help drive the New<br />
Zealand economy.”<br />
“It’s very encouraging to know the<br />
Government values our contribution<br />
to the sector.”<br />
Rob Hewett, Lincoln University<br />
Council member and co-chair of<br />
Silver Fern Farms Limited, said the<br />
free diplomas allowed people who<br />
may not have seriously considered<br />
working in the sector to “dip a toe in<br />
the water without as big a financial<br />
cost of doing so”.<br />
“It is attractive to many, and the<br />
sector is crying out for the right sort<br />
of staff. Free diplomas are attractive,<br />
and likely to attract larger numbers<br />
of prospective students and<br />
ultimately, employees.<br />
“The future is really bright for people<br />
in this sector. It is New Zealand’s<br />
leading economic light and needs<br />
to be considered as such in terms of<br />
employment opportunity.”<br />
The funding is separate from the<br />
Government’s Fees Free scheme,<br />
which students are still able to access<br />
at the end of their programme.<br />
No previous tertiary study experience<br />
is necessary and the courses enhance<br />
employability by teaching specific<br />
skills for the industry.<br />
Alongside offering qualifications<br />
designed to meet the future<br />
employment requirements of the<br />
food and fibre sector, Lincoln<br />
has also taken the move to help<br />
with the immediate needs of the<br />
industry by modifying its rules<br />
around compulsory practical work<br />
requirements in courses to include<br />
rural contracting.<br />
Rural contractor work could include<br />
hay baling and silage baling, as<br />
well as spraying, muck spreading,<br />
shearing, ploughing and other tractor<br />
operation and bulk supplementary<br />
feed production.<br />
Professor McKenzie said Lincoln was<br />
strongly connected to the sector, and<br />
“There are urgent<br />
industry demands for<br />
skilled workers in areas<br />
such as agriculture and<br />
horticulture, and these<br />
practical-based courses<br />
will assist with that,<br />
producing graduates<br />
who have the skills to<br />
hit the ground running<br />
and help drive the<br />
New Zealand economy.”<br />
the change followed a discussion with<br />
Agriculture Minister Damien O’Connor<br />
about how to meet industry demand<br />
for skilled employees.<br />
“We are happy to be able to do<br />
something practical which will assist,<br />
while also giving our students wider<br />
experience. We are being innovative<br />
in our course offerings to meet the<br />
future and current needs of the food<br />
and fibre sector.”<br />
Lincoln is ranked in the world’s top<br />
100 universities in agriculture, and<br />
is already waiving tuition fees for a<br />
number of postgraduate courses to<br />
lead skilled people into rewarding<br />
careers in the sector, essential to<br />
generating export income after the<br />
impact of Covid-19 on the economy.<br />
Lincoln University graduates<br />
completing diplomas, certificates<br />
and degrees represent about 10% of<br />
the ‘replacement rate’ (assuming 2.5%<br />
annual turnover) in the primary<br />
sector workforce.<br />

variety of course options and<br />

A dancing dream<br />
comes true<br />
Assistant librarian and former teacher Jade Bell with her ex-students Bradley Ward, Matt Bool and Noah Yates and one of their<br />
dancing sculptures in Brookside Park<br />
The dreams of a class of children at Rolleston School to make their community beautiful is coming<br />
true through a huge community effort.<br />
Three statues of dancing children have been installed at Rolleston’s Brookside Park – the first of<br />
21 statues to be installed around Rolleston as an eight-year dream is realised.<br />
It all started in 2012 with an art project by a group of Year 2 students at Rolleston School, then<br />
teacher and now <strong>Selwyn</strong> Community Library Assistant Jade Bell says.<br />
“We used the idea of dancing in a circle, to explore observational drawing skills, the students then<br />
used their drawings to design and create sculptures of dancing figures made out of wire. While<br />
working through this process the students decided that they wanted to do something to bring<br />
some beauty to their community. At that stage, what they were seeing was a lot of building sites.”<br />
After eight years hard work a huge community effort has finally seen the statues in place.<br />
The Rolleston Men’s Shed came on board, offering to build the statues for free. Businesses<br />
around the town have sponsored the materials for each statue, and the combined efforts of<br />
landscapers Morgan and Pollard and engineering firm Lumen will see the sculptures professionally<br />
installed at no cost.<br />
Jade has also worked with the Council and the local Reserve Committee, which is providing<br />
locations for the sculptures.<br />
“Initially the plan was to have a circle, but we’ve got 21 statues each representing one of the<br />
children, so we’ve identified a series of sites. The plan is, eventually we will create a trail for them<br />
and people will be able to visit them using the Township Trails <strong>Selwyn</strong> App.”<br />
Bradley Ward, who designed the red sculpture installed at Brookside Park this week, says he<br />
felt very proud of the sculpture and that something he made was going to be in the park near his<br />
house for many years.<br />
The experience was made more memorable by seeing his sculpture with two made by his<br />
friends, Noah and Matt. He is looking forward to seeing the sculptures everyday on his way to<br />
and from school.<br />
Join a world of food, dance and games<br />
Food, dance and games from Aotearoa to Scotland and everywhere in between will be a part of this<br />
year’s CultureFest.<br />
Expressions of interest to be a part of the popular annual festival in Lincoln on Sunday 18 October,<br />
close this Friday 28 <strong>August</strong>—with food, games and dance already in the planning.<br />
People will have an opportunity to try out traditional Māori games and learn belly dancing, while the<br />
team behind the Hororātā Highland Games says it will be ‘bringing the Scottishness’.<br />
Highland Games Event Manager Cindy Driscoll says this will be the third year that volunteers from the<br />
games will take part in CultureFest and they’re excited to be<br />
involved.<br />
In the past they have brought a tugging rig, taught highland<br />
dance and helped people trace their Scottish lineage, she says.<br />
The team is planning a hands-on set of activities that people<br />
can get involved in that could range from games, to dance<br />
depending on the volunteers available, she says.<br />
“It’s a really fun festival. It’s really cool to see all the cultures<br />
showcased from across the world. <strong>Selwyn</strong> has a lot of multicultural<br />
aspects and people and it’s good to see that all in<br />
one place.”<br />
Any individual, club or group interested in performing on stage<br />
or being a stallholder at CultureFest, or running a workshop,<br />
during the week of 18-24 October can find a form at<br />

Expressions of interest close on Friday 28 <strong>August</strong> at 5pm.<br />
Economy remains strong<br />
despite COVID<br />
The district’s economy is showing positive signs despite the<br />
impacts of the COVID-19 global pandemic.<br />
New figures from analysts Infometrics show <strong>Selwyn</strong> was one of only<br />
11 districts where gross domestic product (GDP) grew over the past<br />
year, up 1.3% over the year to June <strong>2020</strong>. Across Canterbury GDP<br />
fell by 2.3% and by 2.1% nationally. Consumer spending was also<br />
up by 3%.<br />
House sales rose by 8% and house prices by 2%, backing the<br />
record number of building consent applications the Council has<br />
received since the Level 4 lockdown. Infometrics data shows<br />
residential building consents issued increased by 45.2% during the<br />
year, compared with the same period a year ago. The number of<br />
consents increased nationally by 8.1% over the same period.<br />
Tourism spending was down by 7.6%, though the drop was<br />
significantly less than the 12% fall across Canterbury and nationally.<br />
The figures show the impacts of the Level 4 Lockdown, as GDP<br />
declined by 11% in the district during April, May and June and<br />
consumer spending fell by 9.7%.<br />
The number of people receiving Jobseeker support rose over the<br />
year by 41.9% with 860 people receiving the Jobseeker Support<br />
and 124 people receiving COVID Income Relief Payment in the<br />
district. This was up from 421 people receiving Jobseeker Support<br />
in June 2019.<br />
However, the unemployment rate in <strong>Selwyn</strong> remained unchanged<br />
from the same time last year, at 2.3%, and almost half the national<br />
unemployment rate of 4.1%.<br />
Mayor Sam Broughton says the figures give some comfort, but the<br />
full impacts of the pandemic show the need for caution.<br />
“<strong>Selwyn</strong> is well placed, based on our strong community and<br />
diversified economy and the figures back that up. However they<br />
also show signs that many of our households and businesses are<br />
hard-pressed and we face challenging times ahead. Our Council is<br />
continuing to support local New Zealand businesses, and we will all<br />
need to keep supporting each other as things continue to change<br />
over the coming months.”<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> libraries supporting<br />
mask making<br />
With people encouraged to wear masks at COVID-19 Alert Level 2,<br />
the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Libraries are helping out.<br />
Each of the four libraries has a sewing machine, which is being<br />
made available for people to make their own masks. The libraries<br />
are supplying patterns and thread at each library for people who<br />
bring their own fabric to make a mask. Patterns are available at<br />
each library and through the libraries’ Facebook page for people<br />
with their own machines to make masks at home.<br />
Picking up mask patterns has proved very popular with library<br />
users, District Arts Culture and Life-long Learning Coordinator Mat<br />
Logan says.<br />
The libraries are always on the lookout for ways to support the<br />
community and help people build skills. Past sewing and craft<br />
initiatives at the libraries have proved very popular and masks filled<br />
an immediate need, he says.<br />
“With the advice for people to wear facemasks we can provide<br />
the opportunity to people and the plans to make them quickly and<br />
cheaply at home.”<br />
It also gives people the chance to help others by making masks for<br />
whanau and friends, Mat says.<br />
Anyone wanting a mask pattern can collect one from the libraries or<br />
visit Facebook.com/<strong>Selwyn</strong>Libraries to find a download link.<br />

Leeston flood protection takes next steps<br />
The next stage of the Leeston flood bypass works has been confirmed to start soon, with both stages 3<br />
and 4 planned to progress this summer.<br />
The project to construct the bypass began in 2014 to address long-term flooding issues with the<br />
Leeston Creek and is due to be completed in 2023.<br />
Stages one and two of the four stage project have already been completed and work on stage three<br />
of the project, to replace the High Street culverts and connect the new culverts to the Volckman Road<br />
drain is due to begin on site in October. The contract for this work has been awarded to SICON Ltd.<br />
Detailed design work for stage four, connecting the Leeston creek with the flood bypass channel is<br />
under way and the Council is making progress to begin construction in February 2021.<br />
Further work and refinements to the overall bypass have been identified and will be considered in the future.<br />

Racing identity leaves enviable legacy<br />
CANTERBURY’S racing<br />
industry has lost one of its<br />
long-time servants, trainer Tony<br />
Prendergast.<br />
The popular 84-year-old<br />
trainer died after a short illness<br />
on <strong>August</strong> 16.<br />
Prendergast, who trained in<br />
partnership with his wife, Lyn,<br />
from their West Melton property,<br />
had been suffering from<br />
cancer after being diagnosed a<br />
few months ago. His death came<br />
after a shattering week for the<br />
family – with their home being<br />
gutted by fire and with it the loss<br />
of all their possessions, including<br />
all their prized racing trophies<br />
and photographs.<br />
Kylie Williams, who completed<br />
her apprenticeship with<br />
the Prendergast stable and had<br />
remained a life-long friend and<br />
helping hand, had hoped to<br />
provide a ray of sunshine last<br />
Saturday for the family with a<br />
win in the final event aboard<br />
the Prendergast-trained Queen<br />
Jetsun.<br />
It was on Queen Jetsun last<br />
September that Williams celebrated<br />
a career highlight with<br />
her 700 th career win, but last<br />
weekend the mare had to settle<br />
for second, the same placing<br />
registered in the first race by<br />
stablemate Volvik.<br />
“It would have been good to<br />
get that last winner for Pop,”<br />
Williams said.<br />
“He (Prendergast) was like a<br />
father to me and I always called<br />
him Pop. The best pop a girl<br />
could ask for.<br />
“I signed up with Pop and Lyn<br />
when I was 17 and he taught me<br />
so much. I’ll never forget some<br />
of the pranks he pulled and<br />
his laughter when you got him<br />
back. He was one of racing’s true<br />
gentlemen.”<br />
Prendergast was a selfconfessed<br />
battler who became a<br />
well-known and popular figure<br />
around the South Island racetracks.<br />
It would be common to see<br />
him give someone a flick with<br />
his race book or a friendly punch<br />
on the arm as he walked by, his<br />
cheeky way of acknowledgement.<br />
And there was hardly a more<br />
popular occasion on course than<br />
when his stable got a winner. The<br />
delight on Prendergast’s face told<br />
it all, he was loving what he was<br />
doing and not about to stop.<br />
Prendergast chipped in working<br />
alongside Lyn right up until<br />
his illness took over in recent<br />
months, belying his age as he<br />
continued to play his role in a<br />
career in racing which stems<br />
back to his youthful days as an<br />
amateur rider.<br />
The final win for the Prendergast<br />
stable came last December<br />
in the Timaru Cup with stable<br />
star Who Dares Wins, who<br />
finished fourth in last Saturday’s<br />
Winter Cup at Riccarton.<br />
In April last year Who Dares<br />
Wins provided the Prendergasts<br />
with a notable double, in the<br />
Easter Cup and Canterbury Gold<br />
Cup a week apart, then completed<br />
a hat-trick at Riccarton.<br />
Prendergast put paid to any<br />
thoughts of his retirement in a<br />
Love Racing interview after that<br />
double.<br />
“I’ve got no plans to stop. We<br />
will keep going while we can. I<br />
can still jump in the [harness]<br />
cart and jog a horse for 40 minutes.<br />
That keeps you fit.<br />
“Training has never been an<br />
easy game, and the overheads<br />
now have made it harder, though<br />
we are fortunate that we own<br />
our own property and have good<br />
facilities.<br />
“You always have your lean<br />
patches, then you win a couple,<br />
and away you go again.<br />
“We have never trained a big<br />
team. We have usually had 12-15<br />
horses in work, never more than<br />
20, and every time we have a big<br />
win, we really savour it.”<br />
“I’ll never forget some of<br />
the pranks he pulled and<br />
his laughter when you got<br />
him back. He was one of<br />
racing’s true gentlemen.”<br />
– Kylie Williams<br />
From a family of six boys,<br />
Prendergast was brought up in<br />
Central Otago, and has been involved<br />
with horses all his life. His<br />
father raced standardbreds and<br />
a brother, Dick, had considerable<br />
success as a harness trainer.<br />
After working on farms when<br />
leaving school then becoming an<br />
amateur rider, Prendergast took<br />
LONG CAREER: Tony Prendergast lost a<br />
battle with cancer on <strong>August</strong> 16. He died<br />
a week after his home was gutted by fire.<br />

Direction. PHOTOS: RACE IMAGES<br />
out an owner-trainer’s licence<br />
and made a remarkable debut<br />
in the 1964-65 season when<br />
preparing Rutanui, a nine-yearold<br />
maiden, to win fresh-up at<br />
Cromwell over 1700m at odds of<br />
67/1. He then backed Rutanui up<br />
two days later for another win,<br />
over 2000m.<br />
Rutanui was ridden in the<br />
maiden victory by Prendergast’s<br />
life-time friend, Brian Anderton,<br />
who still remembers the occasion<br />
clearly.<br />
“We tried him out and he was<br />
one-paced and not much good.<br />
Tony got him sorted out and decided<br />
to race him. He had a real<br />
knack with horses,” Anderton<br />
said.<br />
Prendergast got the former<br />
slowcoach Rutanui into winning<br />
trim through farm work,<br />
including cattle mustering, on<br />
the East Otago farm he was then<br />
managing.<br />
“That also convinced me<br />
that horses don’t need to do a<br />
lot of galloping and I’ve never<br />
been a great one for galloping,”<br />
Prendergast said last year when<br />
recapping his early days.<br />
Prendergast worked as foreman<br />
for Anderton’s astute father,<br />
renowned Wingatui trainer<br />
Hec Anderton, who had more<br />
winners in the 1950s than any<br />
other New Zealand trainer and<br />
won three New Zealand trainers’<br />
premierships.<br />
“I spent about four years with<br />
Hector and learnt a hell of a lot<br />
from him,” Prendergast recalled.<br />
Prendergast recorded his first<br />
win as a professional trainer with<br />
Isalei, at Omakau in 1971 and<br />
boosted his income in those early<br />
days working night shift at the<br />
Mosgiel Woollen Mills.<br />
An early star for Prendergast<br />
was Lomond Queen, who became<br />
the dam of Queen’s Pal, one of the<br />
best horses for the stable. Queen’s<br />
Pal won 14 races. Eleven of her<br />
wins were in black-type races,<br />
including a third in the Group 1<br />
New Zealand 1000 Guineas.<br />
St James was another stable<br />
star, winning 11 races, including<br />
five stakes races, and he gave<br />
Prendergast a big thrill when<br />
finishing third in the 1989 Hong<br />
Kong Cup.<br />
However, Prendergast rated Mr<br />
Ay Bee, whom he part-owned, as<br />
the best horse he trained “by a<br />
country mile.”<br />
In spite of being hampered by<br />
injuries, Mr Ay Bee won 19 races<br />
from 1225m to 2500m and took<br />
six consecutive races as a fiveyear-old,<br />
including a fresh-up<br />
win over 1225m at Beaumont,<br />
when ridden by Lyn Prendergast.<br />
In a bid to reduce travelling<br />
from Wingatui, Mr Ay Bee was<br />
transferred to Takanini trainer<br />
Ray Verner in 1979 after his<br />
Brisbane campaign, in which he<br />
finished second in the Group 1<br />
Brisbane Cup (3200m), and for<br />
Verner he won the 1979 Group<br />
1 Avondale Cup (2200m) then<br />
the Listed King’s Plate (1600m)<br />
before breaking down in preparation<br />
for the Group 1 Auckland<br />
Cup (3200m).<br />
Prendergast trained the<br />
winners of 386 races and he<br />
was proud of his record with<br />
apprentices, including Williams,<br />
Jan Cameron and Charlie<br />
Brough, while his daughter Kerry,<br />
also rode winners during a brief<br />
career as an apprentice and has<br />
had some success as a trainer.<br />

SOUTHBRIDGE scored a<br />
good late-season psychological<br />
advantage over Waihora at Tai<br />

Southbridge is third on<br />

adrift of competition leader<br />
Darfield.<br />
The match was significant for<br />
Waihora fullback Mark Maitland,<br />
who played his 200th match for<br />
the first division side. He was<br />
cheered onto the field with his<br />
son, Albie, 3.<br />
Darfield accounted for fourth<br />

Exciting franchise<br />
opportunity for dog<br />
lovers in <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
Jim’s Dogwash groomers are passionate animal-lovers<br />
who have been trained by some of New Zealand’s<br />
best dog grooming instructors to become part of Jim’s<br />
extended family.<br />
Jim’s Dogwash trailers are specially designed mobile<br />
salons built to facilitate your dog’s ultimate comfort.<br />
Instantly recognisable by their iconic red doggie<br />
salons, Jim’s Dog Wash’s groomers are dedicated and<br />
experienced with a deep love and respect for dogs and<br />
passion for the industry. They will always conduct<br />
themselves with integrity, providing empathic care<br />
and lots of cuddles; leaving your best friend looking<br />
gorgeous and smelling delicious.<br />
Jim’s Dog Wash has become increasingly popular and<br />
now has four new trailers on the road. The exciting<br />
growth of the business is due to popularity of the<br />
service they offer dogs and their owners.<br />
The fact that they come to you is a key to the success<br />
of the business as it takes the pressure off droppingoff<br />
and picking-up dogs from groomers, the dogs are<br />
more relaxed in their own environment. It also gives<br />
groomers the chance to gain a close relationship with<br />
the pet and their owners, getting to know them on a<br />
more personal level.<br />
Being a franchisee opens a world of opportunities<br />
with an extensive network of support at your fingertips,<br />
sharing knowledge both as groomers and business<br />
owners. “We now need more Franchisees on the road,”<br />
said Jill Smolenski, Regional Franchisor for Jim’s Dog<br />
Wash in the South Island. “We are all so busy at the<br />
moment. We currently have two groomers in <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
and we can’t keep up with the inquiries.”<br />
The purchase of a franchise includes, one-on-one<br />
grooming training with a master groomer, business<br />
training, uniforms, grooming kit and shampoos,<br />
business stationary, a territory of 4000 households,<br />
insurance and more. Owning your own business allows<br />
you to be your own boss, set your own hours and do<br />
something that you love.<br />
Jim’s Dog Wash has a great support system for<br />
all franchisees so you will never be on your own.<br />

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />
SELWYN TIMES<br />
Use daylight to boost your time outside<br />
DAYLIGHT HOURS are on the<br />
increase and there is more time to<br />
devote to the garden.<br />
For gardens with poor<br />
drainage, soils are as wet as<br />
they’ll ever be, and wet cold soils<br />
are not very inviting for new<br />
plants.<br />
However, for re-vegetation<br />
planting (where plants will be left<br />
to survive on their own eg: trees,<br />
shrubs etc), this is the last month<br />
for safe planting.<br />
Citrus fruit trees should be<br />
cropping heavily this month.<br />
Keep feeding them throughout<br />
the growing period with a good<br />
quality citrus fertiliser.<br />
Remember citrus trees are frost<br />
tender, so position any new trees<br />
carefully when planting and take<br />
protective measures when frosts<br />
are occurring.<br />
For stone/pip fruit trees, now<br />
is an excellent time to do the<br />
last preventative fungal spray of<br />
copper oxychloride. It must be<br />
applied before bud burst as buds<br />
will be swelling on these trees in<br />
late <strong>August</strong>.<br />
Continue to harvest your<br />
winter crops in the vege garden.<br />
It is still too early to plant<br />
your summer salad vegetables;<br />
however, you can begin sowing<br />
MAINTENANCE: Now is the time to apply a preventative fungal spray to your stone/pip<br />
fruit trees.<br />
seeds of beans, cucumber,<br />
lettuce, pumpkins, peppers and<br />
tomatoes indoors. Prepare soil<br />
for the planting of early variety<br />
potatoes to be ready in time for<br />
Christmas.<br />
Winter flowering annuals such<br />
as cinerarias, pansies, primulas<br />
and violas will be at their very<br />
best. Summer annuals are better<br />
to be planted in September as<br />
daylight hours increase and soil<br />
temperatures rise.<br />
Bulbs should be in bloom soon<br />
– depending on the weather of<br />
course.<br />
Daffodils, hyacinths, muscari,<br />
jonquil and lachenalias all<br />
produce beautiful displays of<br />
colour at this time of year. Take<br />
note and mark the best flowering<br />
varieties in your garden as you<br />
may wish to lift and divide them<br />
later in the season.<br />
With roses, in many areas<br />
new growth should have<br />
commenced. Usually, new<br />
growth is ‘clean’ and not infected<br />
with the typical diseases that<br />
attack roses.<br />
Inspect your rose bushes<br />
regularly for early signs of any<br />
problems. It is still a little too<br />
early to apply fertiliser, so leave<br />
that until next month. However,<br />
you can apply fresh compost<br />
around the base of the rose<br />
bushes.<br />
For some, moss may well<br />
be appearing in parts of the<br />
lawn that are either shaded or<br />
particularly wet. These areas may<br />
require over-sowing in spring.<br />
The moss will slowly disappear<br />
as soil temperatures rise and<br />
the soil drains in the summer<br />
months.<br />
Protect your plants from the weather<br />
IT’S TIME for gardeners to<br />
celebrate.<br />
Temperatures are on the<br />
rise, producing signs of spring<br />
throughout the garden.<br />
September can be a wet and<br />
windy month so ensure you still<br />
protect plants where need be. It’s<br />
a busy but very enjoyable time,<br />
with colour and scents slowly<br />
coming back into the garden.<br />
Final harvesting and removal of<br />
winter maturing vegetables gives<br />
plenty of material for the compost<br />
bin. By staggering planting times,<br />
hopefully these vegetables have<br />
supplied you with continuous<br />
supplies over winter.<br />
Where conditions allow, ie soil<br />
not too wet and temperatures rising<br />
in your area, you can plant the<br />
Are you ready to grow?<br />
Kiwi Gardener is your<br />
practical guide to gardening<br />
in New Zealand.<br />
hardier vegetables for summer<br />
harvesting. Remember the more<br />
traditional summer vegetables<br />
will be planted in October.<br />
Those veges can include<br />
asparagus, beetroot, cabbage,<br />
cauliflower, carrots, onion, radish,<br />
silverbeet and spinach. Improve<br />
existing vege plots with plenty<br />
of compost before planting the<br />
new seasons vegetables. Keep a<br />
wary eye for slugs and snails as<br />
they emerge when temperatures<br />
increase.<br />
Time for preparing your summer<br />
flowering garden. Winter annuals<br />
are now coming to an end<br />
of their flowering. While it’s still a<br />
little early for planting traditional<br />
summer annuals, there are some<br />
that ‘transcend’ the typical grow-<br />
ANNUALS: If you are<br />
planting bulbs, identify the<br />
area.<br />
ing seasons and are very useful at<br />
this time of year.<br />
These include alyssum, calendulas,<br />
cornflower, lobelia, pansies<br />
and violas. If you wish to grow<br />
your own summer flowering<br />
annuals, seed should be sown<br />
now either in a glasshouse or in<br />
a warm, north facing enclosed<br />
patio.<br />
Sow and water regularly to ensure<br />
even germination. Seedlings<br />
should be ready for transplanting<br />
into the garden six to eight weeks<br />
after sowing.<br />
Carefully mark the position of<br />
your winter and spring flowering<br />
bulbs as you may wish to grow<br />
other plants in the same area over<br />
summer months.<br />
Where the bulbs have performed<br />
well, allow them to<br />
naturalise where they are growing.<br />
This applies especially to<br />
crocus, freesias, hyacinths, iris,<br />
lachenalias, muscari, narcissus,<br />
and watsonias.<br />
Stone fruit such as apricots,<br />
cherries, nectarines, peaches and<br />
plums are all in bloom now, as are<br />
pip fruit such as apples and pears.<br />
Hopefully, weather conditions<br />
allow for pollination by bees. Last<br />
year’s heavy rainfall had a major<br />
impact on pollination.<br />
Rose growth is finally under<br />
way. Spring/early summer is the<br />
best time for roses with masses of<br />
blooms and plants usually disease<br />
free. The addition of compost<br />
around the base of existing plants<br />
is beneficial for plant health.<br />
Start feeding roses from October<br />
onwards with fertiliser.<br />
Cut lawns regularly in early<br />
spring, avoiding close mowing<br />
initially. First lawn fertiliser can<br />
be applied in late September/early<br />
October.<br />

Hurunui Garden Festival<br />
29th October<br />
to<br />
1st November<br />
A bounty of gardens to admire and inspire, will<br />
be on show in the Hurunui district this Spring.<br />
The Hurunui Garden Festival has 17 gardens<br />
on offer, two self-driven tours off the beaten<br />
track and garden-based events to educate and<br />

It runs from Thursday, October 29 to Sunday,<br />
November 1. Visitors wanting to attend have<br />

garden owners to help the Hurunui district<br />
recover from the impact of the devastating<br />
earthquake of November 2016, the festival<br />
has become a popular event. Many visitors<br />
make it a long weekend so they can enjoy the<br />
many attractions the district has on offer.<br />
Hurunui Garden Festival Incorporated (HGF), is<br />
committed to investing back in its community.<br />
The committee will give a student, graduating<br />
from a Hurunui secondary school, a scholarship<br />
to the value of $2000 towards study in<br />
horticulture at their choice of University or<br />
Institute of Technology, on the occasion of<br />
HGF making a reasonable profit.<br />
Seventeen gardens, five of them new to<br />
the event, feature on this year’s festival<br />
programme. They are in six clusters and<br />
garden owners will be ready to greet you and<br />
share their stories of how they have created<br />
their gardens.<br />
A new tour, Mysteries of the Waipara Gorge,<br />
complete with iron sculptures, concretions<br />
and moa bones, has been introduced, while<br />
the Hidden Gems from the Lowry Hills to the<br />
Sea, makes its return.<br />

MY PRIDE AND JOY<br />
SELWYN TIMES<br />
Cruising on a Honda Goldwing<br />
When Robert Gravener lost his Harley-<br />
Davidson in a crash, he vowed he would<br />
not own another motor-cycle, then he saw<br />
his 1991 Honda GL 1500 Goldwing for sale<br />
in Belgrave (just out of Melbourne).<br />
“The bike’s maintenance hadn’t been<br />
kept up so it wasn’t in great condition,” says<br />
Robert.<br />
Robert says the Honda Goldwing is<br />
a general all round cruiser. It has cruise<br />
control, a radio, an intercom system,<br />
cigarette lighters and a tow bar.<br />
“You can sit at 100km/h and it glides<br />
along,” explains Robert.<br />
Honda’s Goldwing series was introduced<br />
in 1974, becoming a popular touring<br />
motor-cycle in North America, Western<br />
Europe, Australia and Japan, with the most<br />
sales in the United States.<br />
1991 Goldwings all had a numbered<br />
plaque and anniversary edition insignia,<br />
marking 10 years’ US production; they<br />
were manufactured in Marysville, Ohio,<br />
from 1980 until 2010, then produced in<br />
Japan from 2011. In 1991, there were three<br />
models, the: Aspencade (regular GL1500<br />
model), Special Edition (luxurious model),<br />
and Interstate (stripped-down model).<br />
Robert’s fourth generation Goldwing has<br />
a shaft drive and flat six-cylinder engine.<br />
It has 159,000km on the odometer, which<br />
Robert says is reasonable for a touring bike.<br />
He says it is not uncommon for Honda<br />
Goldwings to have done 300,000km and<br />
still run well.<br />
After Rob purchased his Goldwing,<br />
he took an extended holiday. With his<br />
trailer on the back, he rode up to Cairns,<br />
camping along the way. He enjoyed the<br />
trip so much, he decided to buy a 4WD in<br />
the Atherton Tablelands so he could travel<br />
round Australia with his caravan.<br />
These plans were cut short due to the<br />
rainy season, forest fires and meeting New<br />
Zealander, Kerry who was holidaying north<br />
of Cairns.<br />
“We started chatting in a coffee shop then<br />
the next day, met up again,” explains Kerry.<br />
Romance was in the air so Robert<br />
cancelled his plans for touring Australia<br />
and headed to New Zealand for a holiday<br />
instead. One year later, he and Kerry were<br />
engaged and Rob shifted to New Zealand,<br />
bringing his Honda 1500cc Goldwing with<br />
him.<br />
Rob has now owned his Honda<br />
Goldwing for seven years. He says it is a<br />
bike for those who enjoy long trips and all<br />
weather riding.<br />
“I spent more than eight hours a day on<br />
the bike when travelling from Melbourne<br />
to Cairns and even towing a trailer, it did<br />
the trip effortlessly. The air shockers mean<br />
you don’t feel the road, it just glides.”<br />
Robert has yet to explore New Zealand.<br />
He has joined the Honda Goldwing Riders’<br />
club. He and Kerry also hope to take the<br />
bike camping over summer, with long-term<br />
plans to travel around the North and South<br />
Islands.<br />
“When I can’t ride the Goldwing<br />
anymore, I might give it to a family<br />
member though it would mean sending the<br />
bike back to Australia.”<br />

Putting tyres on your wheels<br />
While this year may not have been the best time to open a business,<br />
there has been considerable local support for one of Rolleston’s newest.<br />
“We’ve been really busy, before and after Covid lockdown,” says Phil<br />
Glen, owner of Kats Tyres, Rolleston.<br />
Phil has lived in Rolleston for 19 years. He has watched the town<br />
grow and always had the dream of opening a second branch of Kats<br />
Tyres there.<br />
A recognised name for over 35 years in Kaiapoi, Kats Tyres<br />
Rolleston opened on the 1st March, this year.<br />
“We’d always talked about locating in Rolleston but struggled to<br />
find the right piece of land. The timing was right when we found the<br />
Hoskyns Road site,” explains Phil.<br />
Kats Tyres supply tyres for all makes and model of vehicle. They also<br />
sell Mag wheels, complete wheel alignments, and sell and install lifting<br />
and lowering kits. In addition, they have an experienced mechanic on<br />
site to take care of vehicle servicing, mechanical repairs and WOFs<br />
needs. The latter is by appointment so you do not have to wait.<br />
Phil has a long history of working with tyres and specialising in<br />
wheel alignments and chassis straightening. If you are unsure about<br />
the best tyres for your vehicle, Phil and his team are happy to advise<br />
you.<br />
Kats Tyres supply all brands of tyre and have a massive 400 tyres<br />
in stock. They deal with almost every tyre imaginable, from top of<br />
the line brands like Michelin, Pirelli, Cooper and Goodyear through<br />
to budget tyres. You are assured, they can supply a tyre to meet your<br />
needs and budget.<br />
If you take your vehicle in for a warrant of fitness and the tyres or<br />
any part of the vehicle is not up to standard, they can fit new tyres<br />
and undertake repairs where needed. This will save you time and the<br />
hassle of having to take your vehicle away to sort any issues for the<br />
completion of the warrant.<br />
When not on the job, you may find Phil at the Rolleston Fire Station<br />
where he has been a member for 17 years. He is currently the local<br />
station officer.<br />
When you next need tyres, a WOF or have a problem with your<br />
vehicle, look for the bright yellow and red colours of Kats Tyres.<br />

Located in the desirable Preston Downs with an easy commute<br />
to the city is this architecturally designed home by Art House<br />
Architects. Assisted by Frobisher interior design with an<br />
emphasis on quality fittings and furnishings the home is a delight<br />
to present to the market.<br />
The striking formal entrance welcomes you into a home that<br />
accommodates family and guests with its bedrooms at one wing and<br />
family living the other. Capturing natural sunlight the home offers a<br />
well proportioned open plan kitchen, dining and living space, further<br />
supported by the separate family lounge, office and guest toilet. The<br />
kitchen will impress with its walk-in pantry, engineered stone bench<br />
tops, induction hobs and quality finishings while the living spaces<br />
both enjoy access to the outdoor patio area via stacker doors and are<br />
warmed by a combination of heat pumps while enjoying the ambience<br />
of the log burner.<br />
Family bedrooms are located at a separate wing of the home allowing<br />
the family members privacy, and are all generous sizes with quality<br />
drapes and fittings. The master sits north west facing and basks in<br />
sun with the indulgence of the walk through robe, dressing area and<br />
tiled ensuite bathroom.<br />
Outdoor entertaining transitions seamlessly from the living spaces<br />
and provides a private, sheltered space overlooking the garden area.<br />
Utility areas have been well thought out and accommodate the raised<br />
vege gardens, garden shed and utility area.<br />
Hide the boat/trailer behind the purpose built fence and still enjoy double<br />
car garaging and off street parking for a further three vehicles.<br />
Having loved this property, new plans are on the horizon and it is with<br />
pride the owners present this lovely home to the market for genuine sale.<br />

Marketing your property –<br />
what does it mean?<br />
Marketing a property is more than presentation and advertising.<br />
Conceptually, marketing is identifying<br />
what prospective buyers are looking for<br />
then providing this. For example, larger<br />
homes and sections may appeal more<br />
to families. Young couples starting out,<br />
generally have tight budgets leading<br />
them to smaller properties, while older<br />
people may be looking to downsize.<br />
Brand new has a particular appeal<br />
however there will always be a market for<br />
established homes. Having a picture in<br />
your mind of the type of buyer will help<br />
in determining the features to emphasise.<br />
If repairs and maintenance need to be<br />
carried out before putting the property<br />
on the market, seek the advice of a real<br />
estate agent. They can advise on what<br />
tasks are worth completing and what<br />
might be unnecessary expense.<br />
Installing a new kitchen or changing<br />
the carpet may lift the house but will<br />
the expense be recouped in the sale<br />
price? On the other hand, modernising<br />
an outdated kitchen or bathroom could<br />
make a huge difference to the look of<br />
the place. Avoid going overboard unless<br />
the capital value of properties in the area<br />
justifies this.<br />
Real estate agents are in contact with<br />
prospective buyers so aware of what they<br />
are looking for. Draw on their expertise<br />
and advice to help make the most of the<br />
selling opportunity.<br />
Establishing a relevant and fair price<br />
for a property is important. Most<br />
agents calculate this based on the price<br />
properties in the area have sold for, and<br />
what a particular property has to offer.<br />
A unique or exceptional property may<br />
justify a higher price, though run-down<br />
properties can gain more than they<br />
appear to merit. This might be due to the<br />
area or other factors that suggest a good<br />
investment.<br />
When promoting a property, mix it up<br />
and be creative so your property stands<br />
out from the rest. TradeMe is a must;<br />
checked by most people looking to buy.<br />
Present the features the property offers as<br />
benefits to potential buyers.<br />
Erect a sign outside the property.<br />
People stop and look at photographs and<br />
this might spark sufficient interest for<br />
them to visit an open home. Spending<br />
a fortune on massive advertising<br />
campaigns in every media might seem a<br />
way to attract potential buyers but may<br />
be an unnecessary expense without the<br />
return. A better philosophy could be a<br />
little often. This will depend on the value<br />
of the property, your budget and how<br />
best to reach target buyers.<br />
Buyer perception is also significant.<br />
For example, properties that sit for a<br />
while can become stale. Resting the<br />
property by taking it off the market for<br />
a short time, then relisting perhaps in<br />
spring or when sales in the area appear<br />
to lift a little, can make a difference.<br />
However, if a property does not sell<br />
immediately there is no need for panic or<br />
dropping the price. It may simply be that<br />
the right buyer has not yet come along. If<br />
the mix is right your property will sell.

Kiwi homes contain hidden health<br />
dangers. Yet first aid for unhealthy<br />
homes needn’t cost a fortune. It can<br />
make a home more saleable as well as a<br />
healthier place to live.<br />
Many older homes are cold and damp<br />
and sometimes have other hazards such<br />
as lead-based paint and asbestos.<br />
There are a number of steps to take to<br />
make your home more healthy.<br />
They include behavioural change,<br />
the cheapest way to make your home<br />
healthier is to open windows to<br />
ventilate.<br />
If you’re out a lot, but want to increase<br />
natural ventilation buy some security<br />
window stays or locks that allow you<br />
to leave windows slightly open when<br />
you’re out. This can be a lot cheaper to<br />
buy and run than high-tech systems.<br />
If nothing else, insulate the ceiling<br />
and under the house. The Energy<br />
Efficiency and Conservation Authority<br />
(EECA) has information on its website<br />
about funding grants available through<br />
the Warm Up New Zealand campaign.<br />
A heat pump will warm and ventilate<br />
rooms in the winter and cool them in<br />
the summer.<br />
EECA suggests a number of different<br />
options for secondary glazing, which<br />
is cheaper than retrofitting double<br />
glazing.<br />
Alternatives include DIY window<br />
insulation, aluminium framed<br />
secondary glazing on the inside of<br />
the existing glazing, or acrylic sheets<br />
attached internally.<br />
Healthy homes aren’t just about<br />
insulation and moisture removal.<br />
Using fewer toxic chemicals can make<br />
your home healthier to live in. Parents<br />
of young children sometimes worry<br />
about exposure to chemicals as do<br />
asthma sufferers.<br />
Dust mites can make a home<br />
unhealthy to live in. Use a hepa filter on<br />
your vacuum cleaner or at least vacuum<br />
more often and empty the bag between<br />
cleans.<br />
Decluttering as well reduces the<br />
places that dust can build up.<br />

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections<br />
in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District<br />
Effectively siting<br />
your new home<br />
Capitalise on park settings.<br />
Add in off-street parking.<br />
Position outdoor living north/north-west.<br />
The way a house is sited on a section<br />
influences the amount of sun entering<br />
the home and whether there is a warm,<br />
outdoor living area.<br />
For maximum free energy from the sun<br />
(especially in winter) and sunny outdoor<br />
living spaces, the house should be north/<br />
north-west orientated. Direction of<br />
prevailing winds is also valid, especially<br />
when determining distances from<br />
boundary fences. An area not so pleasant<br />
in winter might be a refuge from the hot<br />
north-west winds in summer. Future use<br />
of the outdoor space for entertaining or al<br />
fresco dining might also mean choosing<br />
a spot close to the kitchen. Clever design<br />
can achieve a sheltered sunny living area.<br />
If having an outlook from each room<br />
is important, siting back from boundary<br />
fences will allow a garden to provide a<br />
green outlook. If the section offers a view<br />
over a park or reserve, outdoor living<br />
spaces might capitalise on this, with a<br />
pleasurable setting created while adding<br />
capital value to the home.<br />
Council land zoning determines the<br />
percentage of a section allowed to be built<br />
on, and the distance a building must be<br />
from each boundary. This is determined<br />
by the recession plane; determined by the<br />
house roof height and how this impacts<br />
on the sun received in a neighbouring<br />
property. Garages generally can be built<br />
closer to a fence and the front of the<br />
section.<br />
Ideally, the garage will be sited on<br />
the south/south-east side of the house,<br />
depending on the section’s orientation.<br />
Whether the garage door faces the street<br />
or yard will be influenced by the house<br />
plan and personal preference. Increasing<br />
the size of the driveway provides more offstreet<br />
parking though costs more.<br />
Remember too, that a house with<br />
street appeal can be easier to sell. Large<br />
windows, variation in cladding and<br />
landscaping can all add to its appeal.<br />
It is wise to gain the developer’s approval<br />
before applying for building consent<br />
and construction begins as sub-division<br />
covenants must also be observed. These<br />
address house size permissible given a<br />
section’s size, the home’s architectural<br />
elements, driveway accessibility, front<br />
of section landscaping, and caravan/<br />
motorhome parking. The latter is usually<br />
not permitted to be on view from the<br />
street, leading to the need to allocate<br />
parking for such, behind an internal fence.<br />
When choosing a section, as well as<br />
determining the size of home to be built<br />
on it, consider the amount of outdoor<br />
living space you want as well as what you<br />
need space for on your land. Work with<br />
your designer and builder. Walk round<br />
your section with them, and discuss how<br />
the house design you want could best be<br />
positioned.<br />

economy, comfort, and safety are cornerstones<br />
of the technological advancements that are<br />
constantly being imagined and developed to<br />
make our homes a haven from, and connected to,<br />
the outside world.<br />
Biometric fingerprint security systems, key<br />
cards, and voice-activated lighting were once<br />
only seen on the seemingly fantastical movies<br />
of 20 years ago. Today, however, they have all<br />
come to fruition on the home front, the realm<br />
of possibilities seems limited only by one's<br />
imagination.<br />
Smart home technology has filtered through<br />
all aspects of our lives, which promises greater<br />
comfort, safety, economy, efficiency, and overall<br />
enjoyment of the world in which we live.<br />
Smarter building materials, smarter<br />
architectural design, smarter appliances,<br />
Smarter homes<br />
and smarter software systems that offer fully<br />
integrated multi-sensory platforms are being<br />
envisioned and created faster than we can get our<br />
heads around how to operate them.<br />
So, what is your home missing that could<br />
deliver optimal comfort beyond your wildest<br />
dreams? For those of us who spend long periods<br />
away from home on business, remote-access<br />
security cameras are becoming a popular<br />
commodity.<br />
Cameras placed in and around your home<br />
can be controlled and viewed via a remotely<br />
connected device so no matter where you are in<br />
the world you can have peace of mind that when<br />
you return everything will be just as you left it.<br />
Home security systems can also welcome you<br />
home at the end of every day with intelligent<br />
preset computer modules. On your approach the<br />
garage door opens, the driveway is sufficiently<br />
illuminated and the alarm system is deactivated.<br />
When receiving visitors, automated lighting<br />
Call Andrew on 027 220 6558<br />
www.touchstonehomes.co.nz<br />
can be activated above the door when the buzzer<br />
is pressed and crystal-clear video monitors now<br />
give you the ability to zoom in with touch-screen<br />
controls and developments in sound technology<br />
are able to negate background noise for optimal<br />
audio communication.<br />
Automated lighting is another smart feature<br />
that is becoming more and more commonplace<br />
in households around the world. Easily integrated<br />
into existing homes, most automated lighting<br />
systems are controlled from a central panel or via<br />
a smart mobile device.<br />
LED lights enable you to control colour,<br />
brightness, and efficiency, depending on the<br />
mood and task at hand, while automated controls<br />
can even make adjustments based on changing<br />
conditions like occupancy or daylight availability,<br />
saving money in the long run.<br />
Whatever the future holds, it promises to<br />
change the world as we know it.<br />
