Business operators forming 

group to fight flyover plan 

• By Susan Sandys 

INDUSTRIAL and retail 

businesses along Jones Rd at 

Rolleston are forming an action 

group to fight the town’s proposed 

overbridge plans. 

Representatives of businesses along 

the road plan to meet tomorrow 

to form the group and collate an 

alternative proposal. 

Waka Kotahi NZ Transport 

Agency is seeking the views of the 

public on highway improvements, 

including the plans for a flyover 

bridge between Rolleston township 

and the industrial hub. 

THe $125 million project for 

Rolleston is part of the 

Government’s $12 billion New 

Zealand Upgrade Programme 

launched last year, which includes 

a $300 million package for 

Canterbury. 

THe two-lane overbridge is 

proposed to cross State Highway 1 

from Rolleston Drive to Hoskyns Rd. 

Tailored Energy Solutions on Jones 

Rd will be hosting the meeting, to be 

at 4pm. 

Project manager Stew Clouston 

said the first Tailored Energy 

Solutions and the other businesses 

on Jones Rd knew of the flyover, was 

when NZTA announced the plans on 

Tuesday last week.

SPRINGSTON was so close 

to a golden moment in their 

rugby history on Saturday 

(see page 21). 

Tasked with beating 

Southbridge to make the 

Coleman Shield final, they 

buckled right at the end, 

a penalty try denying 

them a crack at the 

championship title. 

The automatic seven

enabled defending champs 

Southbridge to go into this 

weekend’s final against 

Prebbleton. 

Full credit to Southbridge, 

who didn’t relent. 

Said Southbridge manager 

Wayne Palmer: “We were 

on attack for the last three 

to four minutes. There were 

repeated infringements and 

the ref called a penalty try, 

we didn’t argue. 

“We got down that end 

and managed to stay down 

there and we got the job 

done. It was pretty lucky.”

Thieves strike at building sites 

NEWS 3 

In Brief 


BRAZEN THIEVES got away 

with about $14,000 of items from 

two neighbouring residential 

building sites at the new Wilfield 

subdivision in West Melton. 

Master Builders says the threat 

of such thefts is increasing as 

building materials become more 

expensive and in shorter supply. 

The thieves struck overnight 

Tuesday last week, stealing an 

outboard motor from a boat, and 

building materials. 

Builder Jessie de Wys said 

about $5000 of materials, including 

30 sheets of plywood, six 

sheets of 6m roofing iron, about 

30m of 6 x 2 timber framing and 

fixing componentry, was stolen 

from the site where his company 

JD Homes was building a house. 

“How do I feel about it? I don’t 

think you can put that in the 

paper,” de Wys said. 

He believed the thieves had 

been opportunist, taking the 

items from the site as they 

burgled the one alongside, 

which they had accessed after 

lifting a gate from its hinges on a 

neighbouring farm property off 

West Coast Rd. Tracks could be 

seen in the mud, suggesting the 

thieves had driven in with a ute 

and a trailer. 

While de Wys believed thefts 

from building sites were increasing, 

police say they are not. 

David Swain owns the neighbouring 

home under construction 

that was targeted. He had 

the outboard motor from his 

boat, which had a replacement 

value of about $5500, stolen. 

“They have obviously scoped 

it out to avoid cameras,” Swain 

said. 

The site’s builder is Carl, who 

only wanted to give his first 

name. 

Carl said an entire delivery of 

materials for the pre-clad stage 

of the home had been stolen, 

costing about $3500. The items, 

including building paper, cavity 

batons, surfeit sheets, PVC 

mouldings and timber, had been 

taken from where they were 

stored in the home’s uncompleted 

garage. 

Senior Sergeant Dean Harker 

said police 

were following 

up on a vehicle 

seen in the 

area. Thefts 

from building 

sites had not 

increased in 

John 

Hamilton 

the district. 

Canterbury 

branch Master 

Builders New Zealand president 

John Hamilton said the threat 

of theft was increasing with the

market for building materials 

being affected by rising costs and 

supply issues. 

“It’s always been around, but 

now the materials are becoming 

very expensive. Before it 

was whiteware and tools, but 

now everything is on the table,” 

Hamilton said. 

He urged builders to make 

things difficult for opportunist 

thieves. They could invest in 

a portable security camera 

system, tie up or bolt down 

packs of timber on site, or pick 

up building materials in smaller 

portions from the merchant and 

use them as they went. 

AMBULANCES BUSY 

High demand for emergency 

ambulances in the district, 

reflects a nationwide trend. 

From the first week of June to 

the third week of July, demand 

across the mid-Canterbury St 

John district, which Selwyn 

is part of, was up 14 per cent 

on the same period last year. 

Ambulances have responded 

to 1058 incidents, compared 

to 927 incidents last year. St 

John mid-Canterbury territory 

manager Charlotte Broms said 

in the case of emergency, people 

should still phone 111. “If their 

condition is not immediately 

life threatening, there may be a 

significant delay in responding 

an ambulance,” she said. 

DOG BITES INCREASE 

The number of incidents of dogs 

biting people has increased. 

There were 20 incidents of dogs 

biting people recorded by the 

district council for the 2020/21 

year, compared to 15 in 2019/20, 

17 in 2018/19 and 18 in 2017/18. 

The corresponding number of 

incidents for dogs biting other 

animals are 67 for 2020/21, and 

68, 83 and 60 for the previous 

three years. A district council 

spokesperson said the figures 

showed the number of dog bites 

remaining stable in the last four 

years.

GEOFF BOOTH fears he will 

not get the answers he needs 

as the coronial inquiry into his 

son’s death drags on. 

It is coming up to four years 

since the Greendale man lost 

Liam, at the age of 21, in a suspected 

suicide. 

Booth said the approach 

to the October 2 anniversary 

was all the more difficult as he 

considered this could be marked 

without the inquiry having been 

completed. 

“To me, it’s almost disrespectful 

to Liam’s life,” Booth said. 

Booth is among bereaved 

family members calling for 

a reduction to the years-long 

delays. They want more coroners, 

access to free legal representation 

and medical experts during the 

inquest process, as well as more 

support. 

His friend 

and fellow 

parent Corinda 

Taylor is still 

waiting after 

more than eight 

years since she 

lost her son 

Ross to suspected 

suicide.

Liam Booth 

don’t know what the date is. You 

don’t know how long you have to 

wait, you don’t know whether it’s 

next week, next month or next 

year,” Booth said. 

Booth fears there is so much 

backlog in inquiries, the coroner 

will make a finding on Liam’s 

death following a hearing “on 

the papers.” These are not public 

hearings, and family members, 

witnesses and other parties do 

not attend. 

Booth wanted the hearing, 

which happens towards the end 

of the inquiry, to be an inquest. 

Inquests are generally held in 

court and the coroner can hear 

from witnesses in person. 

He said this would give him 

the opportunity to question 

health authorities and personnel 

about what he believed was a 

failure in their duty of care. 

“I want to look them in the 

eye, so they can see the end 

result of not doing their job correctly,” 

Booth said. 

The coroner’s office was not 

able to provide reassurance to 

Booth via the Selwyn Times on 

whether the hearing would be 

an inquest or a hearing on the 

papers. However, it gave some 

indication of what may be contributing 

to the delay in Liam’s 

case. 

Coroner Bruce Hesketh said 

every death reported to the coroner 

was different, and coroners 

must consider evidence from a 

range of sources. 

“While a coroner will also 

typically seek medical information, 

they may put their inquiry 

on hold pending the outcome of 

another agency’s investigation,” 

Hesketh said. 

This was the case for Liam’s 

death, where the Health and 

Disability Commissioner is conducting 

an investigation. 

“Once the investigation is 

complete (in these sorts of cases), 

a decision can be made about 

whether an inquest will be held,” 

Hesketh said. 

Chief coroner 

Judge Deborah 

Marshall also 

responded to 

the Selwyn 

Times, outlining 

moves that 

were being 

Deborah 

Marshall 

made to reduce 

waiting times. 

She said a programme 

of work was under way 

to address average time frames 

for the completion of coroners’ 

inquiries.

death 

“Other initiatives are also being 

planned to address the high number 

of deaths by natural causes 

that are referred to the coroner,” 

Marshall said. 

In addition, she expected the 

length of time would reduce once 

the coronial bench was up to full 

strength for a sustained period of 

time, with 18 full-time coroners 

and eight relief coroners. 

Booth welcomed the work 

under way and initiatives being 

planned. He suspected waiting for 

the ruling from the commission, 

to which he had complained 

a long time ago, was just one 

contributing factor to the delay. 

He added that there had been a 

deficit in coroners for many years, 

and the law needed to be changed 

so the maximum number could 

be increased from 18. 

“Some days I have a: ‘Could I, 

should I, would I? What would I 

have done differently? How could 

I have foreseen what was going to 

happen?’ It’s those sorts of things 

that play on my mind going 

forward, and until I get that day 

in court or ruling on papers, I’m 

in the dark, I still don’t know,” he 

said. 

“Nothing is ever going to 

bring Liam back, but at the end 

of the day I don’t want other 

people to go through the same 

heartache that I have gone 

through.”

Bovis claimed 1200-plus cows 


STRINGENT biosecurity 

measures and practices remain 

in place on Lincoln University’s 

dairy farms after more than 

1200 cows were culled as a result 

of Mycoplasma bovis infection. 

This month marks four years 

since the bacteria was first found 

in New Zealand cattle. Currently, 

only three active properties 

remain, all in mid-Canterbury, 

which has encouraged “cautious 

optimism” among scientists that 

the Government will meet its 

goal of eradication. 

A Lincoln University spokesperson 

said restrictive place 

notices applicable to the farms 

were lifted last month. 

This followed the university 

having earlier adhered to the 

process of depopulating and decontaminating 

both its Lincoln 

University Research Dairy Farm 

and Ashley Dene Farm. 

“This involved more than 1200 

animals,” the spokesperson said. 

Both farms had been cleaned, 

disinfected and restocked in accordance 

with the Ministry for 

Primary Industries eradication 

programme, and were operational. 

The university had been able 

to complete some of the research 

that was under way at the time 

the infection was confirmed, 

such as milking frequency stud-

restocked after herds were culled due to a Mycoplasma bovis infection. 

ies. 

While there had been a loss 

from a genetics stance, one of 

the advantages of having no 

animals on the farm for 60 days 

while it was disinfected was that 

paddocks could be prepared 

for future research. Hundreds 

of suction sample cups were 

installed to allow nitrate concentrations 

to be recorded in a range 

of pastures. 

Massey University cattle 

reproduction specialist Professor 

Scott McDougall said that with 

only three active properties, 

there was cautious optimism 

that eradication may be achievable. 

“However, long-term surveillance 

will be required before 

freedom from infection can be 

declared,” McDougall said. 

More than $200 million has 

been paid out to farmers in 

compensation and more than 

170,000 cattle culled throughout 

the programme. 

MPI M bovis programme director 

Stuart Anderson acknowledged 

farmers’ personal efforts 

and sacrifices. 

“We are on track towards 

eradication and owe a debt of 

gratitude to all farmers who have 

worked with us along the way,” 

Anderson said. 

He anticipated the usual increase 

in detect results from bulk 

tank milk screening this spring 

as MPI actively looked for the 

“last pockets of infection.” 

“We are looking harder than 

ever and finding fewer instances 

of infection. This indicates we 

are getting in front of the disease,” 

Anderson said. 

When buying stock, farmers 

should always check the source 

of cattle and their health history 

with their stock agents. It was 

also important to keep national 

animal identification and tracing 

records up to date, he said.

Concern Jones Rd 

would be less accessible 

• From page 1 

“THey have just made a plan 

and said: ‘This is what we want 

to do,’ without consulting 

anyone. Their answer to that is: 

‘We are consulting now,’ but they 

are actually doing it too late,” 

Clouston said. 

He said if the proposal went 

ahead as it stood, it would 

result in the closure of the 

State Highway 1/Hoskyns Rd 

intersection and the Hoskyns 

Rd/Jones Rd intersection. 

THis would make Jones Rd less 

accessible and result in a loss 

of business for at least some of 

the premises there, as well as a 

potential reduction in their real 

estate value. 

However, not all 

representatives from the more 

than 40 businesses on Jones 

Rd are concerned about the 

consultation process. 

Canterbury Cranes Ltd 

director Blair Keating said he 

also did not want to see access to 

Jones Rd cut off from Hoskyns 

Rd. 

He said he was among more 

than 30 people who attended 

an NZTA consultation session 

at the district council offices on 

Saturday. 

Most people had walked away 

with the feeling they were being 

listened to. 

“THis is what consultation

looks like, they are holding 

community meetings, they are

NZTA director of regional 

relationships James Caygill 

said, when the proposal was 

announced, that the flyover, 

alongside intersection changes 

and a new service lane, would 

mean safer and more efficient 

commuter and freight routes and 

a freer flowing highway. 

Meanwhile, NZTA is also 

consulting on reducing the 

80km/h and 100km/h State 

Highway 1 speed limits from 

Hoskyns Rd to Dunsandel. 

Between 2010 and 2019, 139 

people were either killed or 

injured in crashes on this stretch 

of road. 

Following last week’s 

announcement, NZTA held 

consultation sessions on 

Wednesday and Saturday. It 

has at least two more planned – 

August 1, 9-11am, at Rolleston 

Farmers Market, and August 11,

everything from art and colourful 

socks to antiques and pottery, 

while workshops include kokedama, 

origami, felting and trap 

building. There will be lantern 

making for children preceding 

an early evening lantern walk 

around the village following the 

festival. 

“The whole idea is to bring 

the community a lovely day, and 

celebrate connection, the tiny 

wonder of warmth and light during 

these dark winter evenings, 

and a magical time for everyone 

to enjoy,” Irsigler said. 

She said the idea of holding 

Winter Magic took hold when 

she was herself in Katoomba 

enjoying the festival there. 

“It’s a big community event 

and I absolutely miss it,” she said. 

Keogh has also been inspired 

by the Katoomba event after 

spending time in the Blue Mountains 

town. 

Irsigler and Keogh have a lot 

in common. They were both 

attracted to Springfield by its 

mountainous beauty after coming 

to New Zealand from the 

Northern Hemisphere originally, 

Irsigler from Austria and Keogh 

from England. However, the pair 

said they had capitalised on their 

differences when it came to planning 

Winter Magic. 

Irsigler trained as an art 

therapist and photographer, 

while Keogh’s background is in 

finance, logistics planning and 

infrastructure projects. 

“We have been brimming with 

Organisers Tara Keogh and 

Isabella Irsigler. 

ideas, respectively leaning on 

our skills to share the organising 

which has made the journey 

fun,” Keogh said. 

The pair hope the festival will 

become an annual event. 

Money raised will go to 

Springfield School.

THE SEA-RUN salmon bag 

limit has taken a dramatic dive, 

from one per day to just two per 

season. 

When an angler reaches their 

season bag limit, they will have 

to stop fishing for the remainder 

of the season. It is possible that 

even fishing with the intention 

of throwing the salmon back will 

not be allowed. 

The Central South Island and 

North Canterbury fish and game 

councils have introduced the 

new bag limit to help save New 

Zealand’s wild Chinook salmon 

species. It follows consulting 

with anglers last year and jointly 

seeking government approval. 

North Canterbury Fish and 

Game Council chairman Alan 

Strong said the wild sea-run 

salmon fishery had been in 

decline for more than 20 years. 

“Traditional regulatory 

options haven’t been working for 

fish and game, so new techniques 

were required,” Strong said. 

The spawning runs now see 

less than 10 per cent of the 

numbers seen in the 1990s. 

Strong has a hut at the Lower 

Selwyn Huts and fishes for searun 

salmon in the Rakaia and 

Waimakariri rivers. 

He himself had not caught any 

in the last few years. 

He said the season limit is 

expected to affect only about five 

per cent of salmon anglers, who 

catch more than two per year. 

Strong said the detail had not

yet been worked out on whether 

anglers who had caught more 

than two fish could still fish 

and then throw back what they 

caught. 

However, his understanding 

was that anglers who had 

reached their bag limit would

need to protect the fishery. The 

regulations were “adaptive” and 

the bag limit could increase 

again in coming years. 

Fish and Game says the fishery 

decline could be caused by a host 

of factors, such as hydropower 

development, irrigation 

practices, and those associated 

with ocean temperatures, habitat 

and water quality. 

Overseas research had shown 

the advantages of limiting season 

bags. 

Angler catch surveys indicate 

that after spending up to 

three years at sea, between 40 

per cent and 60 per cent of 

salmon returning to spawn in 

Canterbury rivers are caught by 

anglers. 

It is estimated that a season 

limit bag of two fish will reduce 

total catch by about 35 per cent, 

directly increasing the number 

of fish that can spawn and 

sustain future generations 

of salmon.

Feeding your cats and dogs 

raw and natural food is now 

even easier as local business 

Di’s K9 Grooming in Goulds 

Road launches a new sideline 

to the business. 

Owner Diane Wheeler 

has long been a passionate 

advocate for raw food. 

“As a groomer I have seen 

how this helps dog with skin 

and other health issues over 

the years, along their general 

wellbeing,” says Di. 

Cats are often the hardest to find 

a great food for as they can be fussy 

eaters and Diane’s cat is now also a 

raw food advocate along with her two 

pet dogs. 

The raw food is available in frozen 

medallions or chunks of beef, 

chicken, rabbit, venison, wallaby and 

salmon and have no hidden additives. 

Di’s K9 also stocks chicken necks 

to keep your dog’s teeth clean along 

with canon and brisket bones, beef 

necks, deer antlers and rabbit ears. 

Advocates of raw food diets see the 

benefits of shinier coats, improved 

dental health, increased energy and 

healthier coats. 

Her range of Ziwi Peak products for 

both cats and dogs are also natural 

and New Zealand grown. 

“I can’t speak highly enough 

of this top quality food that 

is gently air dried to protect 

the nutrients. It’s also clean 

and convenient to handle, 

has no hidden hormones or 

growth promotants and no 

fillers like grains, rice, soy or 

potatoes,” says Diane. 

Di’s K9 Grooming also 

sells a range of supplements 

including green lip mussel 

treats and flax seed oil which is a 

source of Omega 3 and can help with 

joint and mobility issues such as 

arthritis, as well as for dry itchy skin, 

and supporting health and wellbeing. 

With 14 years of experience, Di 

continues to provide grooming 

services alongside the raw food retail 

area which is open from Tuesday to 

Friday from 11am until 5pm and on 

Saturdays from 11am until 2pm.

Real Estate with 

a Difference: The 

Personal Touch 

A new Lincoln office of Mike Pero 

has recently opened in the Vernon 

Road complex. It’s the kind of office 

where you can walk into any time 

just to have a chat about anything 

real estate. Eddie and Jolene Eagar, 

the franchise owners, are excited 

to become an integral part of the 

close-knit Lincoln community, to 

meet locals through providing a 

quality service and one-on-one real 

estate advice. 

Eddie and Jolene have lived in the 

area for over 14 years with their 

two daughters. They have raised 

their daughters to see the value 

of hard work, dedication and 

ambition while teaching them the 

importance of caring. Principles that 

are reiterated in their work ethic. 

This husband and wife team are 

passionate about the industry and 

love helping people. They have 

crafted an environment which is 

the antithesis of a busy real estate 

office, where their clients can feel 

relaxed; committed to taking the 

stress out of selling for their clients. 

Eddie and Jolene believe that what 

is best for their clients takes priority 

over their commission. “We believe 

in this industry that trust is your 

currency. We are in the business of 

building relationships. We create 

wealth for our clients, our focus 

always remains on maintaining 

these relationships, we believe 

money has to become a bi-product. 

This keeps us honest.” 

Before Real Estate Eddie was 

employed by the Department of 

Corrections and Jolene worked 

in the business sector and as an 

operations manager. Working 

together as a team they bring 

a great mix of skills. “We know 

and understand the real estate 

market and enjoy sharing our local 

knowledge and are committed to 

working hard to generate value for 

our clients.” 

“It’s been our dream to create a real 

estate business with a difference” 

said Jolene. “So many agents out 

in the market place are sowing 

the same seeds, walking the same 

walk and talking the same talk. 

Our focus is on offering our clients 

a service that is well ahead of our 

competitors. We really care about 

people, we don’t just sell houses, 

we sell homes, for us it’s personal.” 

Eddie and Jolene look forward 

to welcoming you into their new 

office at 8 Vernon Drive, Lincoln,

CDBH staff slow on uptake 

Free flu jab 

target falls 

well behind 


FEWER THAN 20 per cent 

of Canterbury District Health 

Board staff have so far taken up 

free flu vaccines. 

The figure suggests the CDHB 

is well behind the 80 per cent 

target that the Ministry of 

Health has for district health 

board health care workers. 

The revelation comes 

following news last month the 

CDHB remains among nine 

in the country that does not 

know which of their staff are 

vaccinated against Covid-19. 

Chief people officer Mary 

Johnston said about 2000 

staff had received their influenza 

vaccination at the health 

board’s free clinics. This number 

did not include staff who may 

have chosen to receive the 

vaccine from their own GP or 

pharmacy. 

The CDHB employs about 

11,500 people. 

The roll-out of the free flu 

vaccinations for staff was made 

available from July 8. 

Johnston said she could not 

draw comparisons on the level of 

uptake compared to the general 

population at this early stage. 

“We are in the very early 

stages of the roll-out. It is far 

too early in the roll-out to make 

judgement or comment on the 

uptake so far,” she said. 

A Ministry of Health 

spokesperson said about 62 per 

cent of the general population 

of over 65s on the National 

Immunisation Register had been 

vaccinated as of July 16. There 

was no number for under 65s, as 

many of these vaccinations were 

not recorded in the register. 

However, more than 1.4 

million doses of the 2.4 million 

available had been distributed 

nationwide, representing a 

higher demand than in 2019. 

CDHB chief executive Peter 

Bramley has urged staff to take 

advantage of the free flu clinics. 

“Flu is prevalent in 

Australia, along with Covid-19 

unfortunately, but with borders 

still semi-permeable at the 

moment, the reality is, it’s quite 

likely to come 

to New Zealand 

at some stage, 

so please 

book your flu 

vaccination 

and get yourself 

protected,” 

Peter 

Bramley 

Bramley told 

staff. 

He also 

urged staff who 

had not already had both their 

Covid-19 vaccinations, to book 

themselves in. 

“It’s really important we get 

our health workforce protected,” 

he said. 

As of August 31, all 20 district 

health boards will have to ensure 

all staff working in Covid-19 

designated workstreams are fully 

vaccinated. 

A district health boards’ 

spokesperson said national 

guidance distributed in late 

June made clear that any DHB 

worker in a designated Covid-19 

workstream would need to 

provide proof of vaccination by 

this time. 

The CDHB cared for 

two patients who were 

confirmed as having Covid-19 

in January, prior to vaccines 

being available.

OUR PEOPLE – DEAN ROCKHOUSE 

Building pot people one of the ways 

Dean Rockhouse of 

Rolleston suffers from 

depression. The 47-yearold 

truck driver and 

craftsman has found 

a way to deal with it. 

He has a message for 

anyone else falling 

victim to the mental 

illness – talk about your 

feelings and be your 

own strongest advocate 

when it comes to 

seeking help. He talks 

to Susan Sandys 

Tell me a little bit about 

yourself 

I have a family of three – two 

beautiful teenage kids, one boy, 

one girl, and a lovely wife. I work 

five days with Mini-Tankers, 

it is an onsite diesel refuelling 

business. I go round to all the 

subdivisions and fill earthworks 

machinery, like diggers and 

rollers. They can’t go to the 

petrol station down the road, 

that would upset a lot of people, 

breaking up the roads. 

So your weekdays are busy? 

I start at five in the morning 

and I finish about three o’clock 

in the afternoon. I come home, 

have a coffee, say hi to all the 

animals. It’s like the Rolleston 

CRAFTSMAN: Dean Rockhouse enjoys life as long as he is keeping busy. 

zoo out here. We have got three 

aviaries. We’ve probably got 

between 20 to 30 birds – budgies, 

cockatiels and ringnecks. We 

have 16 guinea pigs. Oh my god, 

and he won’t be able to help me, 

five are in each aviary and we’ve 

got one that’s running around 

enjoying life. We have got two 

cats and two dogs and ponds full 

of goldfish. 

What do you do after your 

tour of the zoo? 

In the afternoons, until about 

six or seven o’clock, I make my 

little woodworking pot people. 

Millgate Woodworks Garden 

Pot People – it’s only a small 

business, where it’s rewarding. 

I only sell local, I go to the 

markets. I would probably sell 

two or three a week. 

That’s a huge day 

I like keeping busy, it 

actually keeps your mind off 

these horrible thoughts and 

it gives you the will to carry 

on. Your mind is constantly 

on something, instead of 

sitting down watching TV 

and becoming really down, 

bored and agitated. I have 

been diagnosed with severe 

depression, where I have suicide 

thoughts. 

How did you come upon the 

idea of making pot people? 

I started making indoor 

furniture. It got to a point where 

I wasn’t selling anything. I had a 

friend coming to me and saying 

they needed something for their 

garden, and asked if I could 

make them a little man. When 

you are a truck driver by day, 

your mind is constantly ticking 

over about what sort of design 

you can actually do. That’s why 

I’ve got 78 designs in pot people. 

And people love them. I get very, 

very busy at Christmas. 

How do you make them? 

I Googled imaged garden men, 

and I found one and it all built 

from there. I’ve just redesigned, 

they are unique. I think nobody 

in this country actually makes 

them other than me. They are 

pretty much made out of round 

wood, Mitre 10 and Bunnings 

sell the stuff for firewood. I 

buy the pots from the garden 

centre. For the arms and the 

legs, I get them from sites I go to. 

So instead of the timber going 

into landfill, or going into a pile 

where it is going to get burnt, I 

like to recycle. As they say, there 

is only one planet that we live on. 

How long have you suffered 

from depression? 

Five years now.

to help deal with depression 


OUR PEOPLE 13 

What were your first 

symptoms? 

Just feeling down. Some 

people are different, they are 

just having a bad day. But if it’s 

in you – mood swings, feeling 

down, wanting to be by yourself 

all the time – don’t let it build 

up. I made that mistake. I let it 

build up for about half a year, 

where it got to the point where I 

was getting suicide thoughts, and 

then I went to get help. I went to 

the doctor. 

Was it hard for you to seek 

help? 

I felt ashamed. I felt like: ‘Oh 

s**t, what are people going 

to think of me?’ With mental 

illness, you don’t want to feel 

ashamed. I mean I would have 

a small cry. Men cry, you feel 

a lot better. It relieves a lot of 

the horrible stuff. I don’t feel 

ashamed anymore. I feel good. If 

people want to get nasty, if they 

want to talk behind your back, 

they can go back and crawl under 

the rock they came out from. 

Was there a particular cause 

for your depression? 

Pressure of life, I think it 

was just how people treat you, 

I have grown up without a 

dad. Depression runs through 

my family. I don’t want to do 

the same to my family and do 

something stupid. It’s going to 

affect them in life, I don’t want 

them to go through what I am 

going through. 

What are some of the ways 

you have dealt with your illness? 

I’m not a quitter, be strong, 

fight your inner demons, just 

open up, get help and talk. I 

found talking to someone 

is good. If somebody isn’t 

interested in your problems, 

then they are not worth it. It’s 

easier to talk to a friend, family 

member, somebody who has 

got depression already. I find 

that a lot easier than talking to a 

complete stranger, because they 

don’t know you. Don’t over do 

it, but do something you enjoy. 

Taking up a hobby like I am 

doing, it works wonders. I am 

going to have depression all my 

life. That is one thing that I have 

to accept. I have to accept I am 

going to be on my medication all 

my life. 

Is it a hidden illness? 

It can be. If someone comes 

to you, and they are quite rude 

and look a little bit down, don’t 

judge. Don’t judge until you have

done your homework. If you 

know somebody who is feeling 

down and has the symptoms 

of depression, talk to them, ask 

them how has their day been, or 

are they okay. ‘Are you okay?’ are 

the words to actually start talking 

to somebody with depression. 

Your mental health message 

is similar to that of rugby great 

John Kirwan. What do you 

think of him as a role model? 

He is great, because he cares. 

I think, as a whole country, we 

are realising what mental illness 

is. I mean, years ago if you got 

a tattoo, people would think of 

you as Satan’s son. Tattoos now 

are just a way of life. More people 

are doing it, and more people are 

understanding depression. 

Do you have tattoos? 

I have a whole arm. 

How old when you got your 

first tattoo? 

I would have been 16. I was 

young and stupid. I got a skull 

with a snake going through it, 

on my arm. But the tattoos now 

are things that are meaningful 

to you, like I have got my kids’ 

names on my arm. 

Do you have any regrets with 

any of your tattoos? 

No, I don’t have any regerts! 

My tattoos are things that mean 

something to me. 

Where did you grow up? 

Upper Riccarton. My 

grandparents brought me up 

as their own. As a child, I was 

sent to two different locations 

in state care, which didn’t really 

help the cause of a good life. 

My grandparents were so hurt 

every time they came to see me, 

they decided to pull me out of 

state care. They were concerned 

about what sort of person I would 

become, or where I would end up 

at. It was awesome being brought 

up by them, I see them as more 

of a mum and dad than as my 

grandparents.

“The funding has enabled

Feeding damages leaves 

IT IS easier to detect whether 

some insects are present by their 

foraging damage rather than 

seeing the actual insect itself. 

For example, cabbage tree 

moth, flax notcher moth, flax 

window moth and kaka-beak 

leaf-miners all have tell-tale 

feeding damage left by larvae of 

their species. One species found 

recently that I have not written 

about is the ragwort leafminer 

(Chromatomyia syngenesiae). 

The leafminer is a small, 4mm 

long fly from Europe whose 

larvae feed on a variety of herbaceous 

plants in the daisy family 

(Compositae) but especially on 

the ragworts and groundsels. 

Female flies oviposit single eggs 

onto leaves that develop into a 

4mm larvae that graze the leaf 

surface in random meandering 

trails called mines, which are 

lighter coloured than the leaf. 

By looking closely at the mines, 

larvae can sometime be seen as a 

creamy to darkish grey, whereas 

pupae are an oval dark blob. 

As many as 15 complete 

generations have been recorded 

in this species.

Two of the New Zealand Defence Force’s 

front-line operational helicopters visited 

the former RNZAF base at Wigram 

last week, as part of a helicopter fun 

day run by the Air Force Museum of 

New Zealand. The event was part of 

Kidsfest, and attracted more than 3600 

people. Helicopter-themed activities 

in the museum included camouflage 

face painting, craft activities and a 

helicopter hunt. Members of the public 

got the opportunity to get up close to 

the NH90 and A109 helicopters from 

No 3 Squadron Royal New Zealand Air 

Force, and chat to the air and ground 

crews.

Tobogganing on real snow captivated the youngsters at last year’s festival. 

Winter-themed festival offers family fun in the city 

WHILE WE may be experiencing 

a very chilly winter this year, that’s 

all the more reason to get the 

family together and head into the 

city for this year’s Winter Festival 

‘Chill in the City’. 

Run by the Central City 

Business Association with 

support from the Christchurch 

City Council and many of the 

city’s businesses, it follows last 

year’s very successful event, 

which attracted thousands to 

the central city with a range of 

exciting winter-themed events and 

activities. 

This year there will be even 

more to enjoy, from ice skating, 

hug a husky and Hagglund rides, 

to Disney’s frozen bouncy castle, 

tobogganing on real snow, and 

Hillary’s Hutt VR Experience, all 

taking place in and around the 

City Mall area. Real-life winter 

fairies will be there for the kids, 

along with activities for everyone 

to enjoy. 

These include ice skating 

starting tomorrow and running 

right through the weekend, with 

all other winter activities running 

on Saturday and Sunday from 

10am to 5pm daily. 

Hagglund rides should again prove a popular attraction at this year’s event. 

There is a small donation cost 

for some of the activities and all 

money raised is being donated to 

the Christchurch City Mission. 

Last year’s festival raised just 

over $12,000 and the business 

association hopes with the 

community coming in to support 

the festival, it can do more this year. 

While most of ‘Chill in the 

City’ activities are aimed at 

family enjoyment, Saturday night 

offers something a little different, 

with ‘Chill in the City’ After 

Dark on New Regent St starting 

early evening and featuring live 

entertainment, mulled wine, hot 

toddies and delicious food.

Southbridge scrape into shield final 

• By Chris Barclay 

SOUTHBRIDGE ARE a step 

away from defending the 

Coleman Shield after a lastminute 

penalty try secured a 

spine-tingling semi-final win 

over a gallant Springston. 

The automatic seven-pointer 

enabled the Ellesmere division 

1 benchmark to pip the fourthranked 

play-off qualifiers 17-16, 

thanks to exerting concerted 

pressure as the clock wound 

down at Southbridge Domain. 

Referee Hayden Cook marched 

under the crossbar after Southbridge 

dominated a scrum on the 

Springston line in the last minute, 

midway between the sideline 

and posts. 

Springston had lost a player to 

the sin-bin before the definitive 

set piece. 

“We were on attack for the last 

3-4 minutes. There were repeated 

infringements and the ref called 

a penalty try, we didn’t argue,” 

said Southbridge manager 

Wayne Palmer. 

“We got down that end and 

managed to stay down there and 

we got the job done. It was pretty 

lucky.” 

Fortunately Southbridge did 

not score a regulation try off the 

shove because kicker Shannon 

Donald was down injured. 

“He was lying down in pain, 

FINAL SAY: 

Holders 

Southbridge 

advanced to 

the Coleman 

Shield final 

after a 

last-minute 

penalty try 

eliminated 

Springston 

from title 

contention.

HAPPER 

he’d have been no good for kicking 

a goal if he had to,” Palmer 

said. 

The victory margin was 

Southbridge’s tightest of a season 

where they have only suffered 

one defeat, to Ashburton’s Southern 

in the Luisetti Seed Cup 

decider. 

Prebbleton are tasked with 

ending Southbridge’s reign at 

Lincoln Domain on Saturday 

after beating Darfield 28-22 in 

last weekend’s other sudden 

death clash. 

They were also pressed hard 

before advancing to the final, recovering 

from a 5-0 deficit before 

shading the second half. 

“It was a really even game. We 

managed to hold them out at the 

end,” said Prebbleton head coach 

Dave Kettles. 

Prebbleton, who are seeking 

their first Coleman Shield title 

since 1974, have recent history 

with Southbridge, having lost 

28-20 in the final round of the 

regular season on July 17 when 

both sides were assured of making 

the play-offs. 

“They were a bit too good for 

us. We need to improve on that 

effort to challenge them. They’ve 

been the benchmark for 4-5 

seasons out here.” 

Victory would allow Prebbleton 

to avenge a 42-39 semi-final 

defeat last season to a Southbridge 

side featuring Dan Carter. 

Kettles took no comfort from 

the legendary All Black now 

enjoying retirement. 

“They’re a fantastic side 

anyway, they don’t need a lot of 

help,” he said.

More than 10,000 new members have signed up to Selwyn Libraries in the past year. 

Both memberships and loans grew, with library members increasing to over 28,000 people, an 

increase of 39%, compared to around 17,000 in the previous year. 

Digital and physical loans were also up by 27.5% over the same period, with over 500,000 issues. 

Manager Arts, Culture and Lifelong Learning, Nicki Moen attributes the result to providing welcoming 

spaces, inclusive programming and a growing focus on digital content. 

“We’ve focused on being good hosts regardless of whether our members are visiting us online or 

within our spaces,” says Nicki. 

“It’s nice to see more people using our libraries, which is heartening considering the Covid-19 

lockdown and the associated restrictions it placed on our service. It really confirms the importance 

of libraries as places to come together as a community. Our diverse and talented team provide a 

wonderful service.” 

Despite the lockdown, the Libraries team ran over 2,500 programmes at its four libraries and in 

outlying communities via the Edge Connector Vehicle. 

“The result also reflects our commitment to reaching all corners of our district and bringing 

newcomers into our spaces. We’re also very keen to welcome people back that haven’t visited us in 

a while. We’re currently working to remove some historic fines to make this easier too,” says Nicki. 

Selwyn Libraries are located in Rolleston, Leeston, Lincoln and Darfield. Rolleston Library will close 

in November this year to coincide with the opening of Te Ara Ātea on Tennyson Street—which will 

house the new library as part of its services. 

To become a Selwyn Libraries member or talk about clearing historic fines, visit selwynlibraries.govt.nz 

or pop in to your local library. 

Support to help young people follow their dreams 

Support is available once again for Selwyn young people to achieve in higher education. 

Applications are open for the Council’s annual Tertiary Education Scholarships, supporting Selwyn 

young people who are leaving school and heading into higher education or training next year. 

Scholarships of up to $3000 provide payment towards fees, and costs associated with buying books 

and equipment required for their study or training. 

The scholarships are available for year 12 and 13 students who live and study in Selwyn and are 

planning to undertake full-time post-secondary school education or training at a recognised New 

Zealand university, polytechnic or training institution next year. 

Applications are encouraged from students who have achieved outstanding success in academic, 

sports, cultural, arts, social responsibility or other areas, either at school or in their community. Those 

who have overcome barriers or hardships to achieve are encouraged to apply. 

Applications are open until the end of September. 

For the first time this year, young people will have the option to make a video submission talking about 

their passion and goals. 

To find out more about the scholarships, including application forms, students can visit 

selwyn.govt.nz/tertiaryscholarships.

Selwyn launches Flood 

Relief Fund 

Selwyn residents who suffered hardship or damage to their 

property during the recent floods can apply to the Council for 

financial support. 

The Council has opened the Mayoral Relief Fund for Selwyn 

residents affected by recent flooding who have not been able to 

access other support such as insurance or government funding. 

A funds allocation panel, including Mayor Sam Broughton and 

Selwyn Recovery Manager Al Lawn, will assess new applications 

and allocate funding through August. The fund will close once the 

total has been allocated. 

Mayor Sam Broughton says the fund is a further way for the Council 

to help those affected by the flooding. 

“Our Civil Defence teams and local volunteers did a fantastic job of 

looking after people during the flooding and afterwards. We have 

also seen government and other agencies providing support. This 

fund is limited but will support those who have suffered hardship." 

The $4 million Canterbury Flood Relief Fund has also opened to 

support farmers through the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI). If 

you believe you are eligible, please apply. 

For more information, criteria and application forms, visit 

selwyn.govt.nz/floodrelief or email mayoral.relief.fund@selwyn.govt.nz. 

Sharing space on shared paths 

You may have noticed more of these signs popping up on certain 

paths around the district. This sign shows that the path is a 

‘shared path’. 

A shared path is a path that can be used by pedestrians, cyclists, 

mobility devices and wheeled recreational devices (such as 

skateboards and scooters). 

Shared paths are wider than 

a standard footpath to safely 

accommodate more user 

types. Next time you are 

using a shared path please be 

considerate of others using the 

path. It is important that you 

look out for others, slow down, 

and pass with care. 

Cyclists should use their bell 

to let others know that they 

are approaching and all users 

should keep left unless passing, 

to give other users space. 

Small Business Workshop 

Fraud can take many forms and often comes from the most 

unsuspected sources. While New Zealand often performs highly in 

international corruption ratings, our small businesses and not-for-profits 

are not immune to fraudulent activity and the disruption this can cause. 

The final of three sessions with Sidekick Selwyn Accountants and 

Business Advisors are designed to empower you with tips and tricks to 

save time and money, facilitate risk reduction and highlight the benefits 

of surrounding yourself with a good team. 

Registration is essential at selwyn.govt.nz/events.

Recreation Centre 

Continuing our occasional series putting the spot light on some of our community halls and the great 

service they provide, this week with Darfield Recreation and Community Centre. 

Darfield Recreation and Community Centre is becoming something of a star after an increase in people 

using the hall this year, including a huge Matariki event. 

The popular hall decorated in art from surrounding schools and preschools set the scene for Two Rivers 

Trust’s third Matariki in Malvern event at the end of June with 500 people enjoying kapa haka, a Matariki 

Macarena, a hāngi and hands-on activity stations. 

Organisers Kelly Maude and Kay Kala said the cost of hiring the centre was affordable and they were 

super proud of how the event went, saying it was the best of the three Matariki events they’ve had. 

“It was a fantastic turn out from a very supportive community.” 

Kay said the kitchen space at the centre worked well for the large event and there was enough room for 

the four large groups of performers to prepare before 

they went on stage. She said the layout of the stage 

helped make the night run smoothly and there was an 

easy set up and pack down. 

The Matariki event was the latest in a series of new 

events, including many from the Council, driven by a 

community survey last year, where over 200 people 

gave feedback on what they wanted to see at the hall. 

Events have caused an increase in usage of the 

centre by community members for everything from 

Zumba classes to line dancing, bowls, business 

meetings and craft days. 

Fleur Earl, one of two Malvern-wide facilities 

caretakers says the feedback she received around 

these events was really positive. 

“People said it’s nice that we can just go down to our 

local hall to these events. It’s like having a bit of your 

own open day at your local hall, getting to know 

where your local hall is and the different spaces it 

has to offer.”

Former Selwyn player 

saving goals in the US 

• By Coen Lammers 

BAILEY JORDAN is 

taking stock after a 

rollercoaster first season 

in college football in the 

United States. 

The former Selwyn United 

goalkeeper (right) has 

just finished his first eventful 

semester at Northwest 

College in Wyoming, 

dealing with Covid disruptions, 

extreme hot and cold 

weather, a new sports scene 

and team-mates from all 

corners of the globe. 

The 18-year-old was 

offered a scholarship at 

the junior US college after 

catching the eye in 2019 at 

the National U17 Tournament 

with Selwyn after 

which he was selected to 

attend a United Kingdom 

Football Academy. 

“The coach of that 

invitational team has some 

connections in the States 

and recommended me 

to a coach at Northwest,” 

says Jordan, who suddenly 

found himself in the wild 

west of Wyoming at the 

start of a bitter winter. 

“You could say that I 

wasn’t really prepared 

because when walked to 

the gym on my second day, 

I was only wearing shorts 

and jandals but stepped 

into snow that was knee 

deep, so I quickly had to do 

some shopping for better 

footwear,” laughs Bailey. 

Jordan was shocked to 

find himself in a squad 

with four goalkeepers, including 

an academy player 

from Chile’s top club, 

but after the two others 

departed for greener pastures, 

Bailey was suddenly 

the back-up to the best 

goalkeeper in the league. 

“This guy was a six foot 

four and the best player I 

have ever come across so 

I learned a lot from him,” 

says Bailey who was given 

a few opportunities in 

the first team, including a 

match against the top team 

in the conference that also 

includes teams from Nebraska 

and Colorado. 

“Usually a freshman 

does not get any game time 

in the first year and the 

game was against Casper 

who were ranked No 6 in 

the States. We only lost 

2-0 so was pretty stoked,” 

says Bailey who hopes to 

claim the No 1 jersey when 

he returns after his ‘summer’ 

holiday back in New 

Zealand. 

Much of this will depend 

on which players the college 

will recruit for their 

squad which last year was 

mostly made up of overseas 

students. 

Bailey hopes a good 

season with Northwest 

will then create a pathway 

into a strong senior college 

as well as professional opportunities 

and possibly a 

crack at the New Zealand 

squad for the next under 

20 World Cup. 

“I’m just taking it one 

day at the time, but training 

every day in a professional 

environment with 

so many good players is 

really helping me to grow 

my game,” says Bailey who 

is heading back to the stifling 

heat of the American 

north-west in August.

Sweet 16th victory 

for Pay Me Visa 

• By Jonny Turner 

IT’S NOT just his 16 wins that makes Pay 

Me Visa an exceptional horse. 

The Andrew Stuart trained veteran continued 

his remarkable career and notched 

his sweet 16th victory when bursting home 

from three deep on the pegs at Addington 

on Sunday. 

Far from a typical racehorse, Pay Me 

Visa is also a family pet and arguably 

New Zealand’s most profitable galloping 

pacemaker. 

And because of that, he wasn’t exactly 

the spearhead of Stuart’s team on Sunday. 

“I only took him and Martin John in as 

a mate for the maiden I had in (Get Outta 

Town),” the trainer said. 

“I thought he would be hard to beat but 

he ended up being held up.” 

“I thought it might have been impossible 

for Pay Me Visa from the draw (12) but he 

got a good run.” 

Pay Me Visa shows no signs of slowing 

down as his ten-year-old birth date approaches, 

having brought up his third win 

for the season on Sunday. 

Though his retirement has already been 

FORMER TOP New Zealand driver 

Dexter Dunn starred at the Meadowlands 

in the United States, with his fourth haul 

of seven race wins on the one night. 

On Friday the 31-year-old took out more 

than half the 13-race 

programme. It’s the 

third time he has won 

seven races on the 

same card at the Big 

M. He also won seven 

races at Forbury Park 

in May 2015. 

“I knew I had some 

chances,” Dunn told 

the US Trotting Association, 

“They just worked out and got 

nice trips. I just think I had the right stock 

on the right night.” 

It was the second time in six weeks that 

planned out, Pay Me Visa still has plenty 

of racing in front of him. 

“He is fully sound, there is nothing 

wrong with him at all,” Stuart said. 

“He gets his joints looked at now and 

then but then he’s good to go. 

“He has got a home here for life, he is the 

family pet and everyone loves him. 

“But he won’t be retiring for a while yet. 

“He is our galloping pacemaker, we use 

him to teach the babies, he’s a great GP. 

“There wouldn’t be a better one than 

him in the country, I wouldn’t think.” 

Pay Me Visa came to Stuart’s stable as a 

yearling and has raced and won in every 

season since beginning his career as a 

three-year-old. 

The pacer was originally raced by Ross 

Dougherty and Dave Kennedy but is now 

leased by his trainer. 

Pay Me Visa helped driver Robbie Close 

continue his outstanding season in the 

sulky. 

Their victory was the reinsman’s 64th 

win this term, extending his new personal 

best following the 51 wins he notched last 

season.

he’s achieved the feat and the third overall 

at the Meadowlands. The first was in January 

2020, the second on June 18 this year. 

“It’s awesome for sure,” he said, “I’m 

driving for the top trainers, driving good 

horses. It makes my job easy.” 

The winning trainers were ex-pat Kiwis 

Nifty Norman (2), Chris Ryder (1) as well 

as Nancy Takter (2) and Tony Alagna (2). 

Dunn now has 114 at the Big M in New

Flame grill or use a frying pan to cook your steak. Short, hard cooking 

should produce tender meat. 

Winter salads sit well 

with cooked meat 

There’s nothing 

like a thick 

porterhouse on 

the grill, instead 

of sharing it with 

vegetables try 

our salads as 

sides 

Grilled beef 

porterhouse steak 

with mustard, 

mayonnaise and 

broccoli salad 

Serves 4 

Ingredients 

800gm porterhouse or 

rib eye steaks, 4 x 200gm 

pieces 

1 to drizzle vegetable oil 

1 to taste salt and freshly 

ground black pepper 

3 tsp dijon mustard 

4 tbsp mayonnaise 

Broccoli, almond and 

tomato salad 

2 broccoli heads 

2 tomatoes 

1 clove garlic 

2 tbsp tarragon 

2 tbsp chives 

3 tbsp extra virgin olive 

oil 

3 tbsp lemon juice 

50gm slivered almonds 

1 to taste salt and freshly 

ground black pepper 

Directions 

Heat a grill, ridged grillpan 

or frying pan. Use a 

sharp knife to make several 

cuts through the fat and 

slightly into the meat as 

this will stop it curling as it 

cooks. 

Lightly oil the steaks 

before putting them onto 

the heat. For juicy and 

medium rare steaks, cook 

them for about seven minutes 

per side, turning once 

and seasoning with salt 

and pepper once you have 

done so. 

Remove from the heat, 

wrap loosely in foil and 

leave them to rest for five 

minutes. 

Mix the mustard and 

mayonnaise, then spread 

across the upper side of the 

meat. 

Salad: Cook the broccoli 

in boiling salted water for 

about four minutes, then 

drain and set aside in a 

warm bowl. 

Chop and seed the 

tomatoes, then add to the 

broccoli. Chop the garlic 

and tarragon finely, then 

chop the chives into 2cm 

lengths. 

Mix the herbs with 

the oil, lemon juice and 

almonds, then gently toss 

through the broccoli and 

season with salt and pepper. 

Serve warm. 

Roasted tomato, 

butter bean and 

watercress salad 

Serves 4 

Ingredients 

2 tsp salt 

8 tomatoes 

2 cloves garlic 

1 tbsp Olive oil 

1 tsp brown sugar 

2 sprigs fresh rosemary 

1 freshly ground black 

pepper, to season 

1½ cups butter beans 

4 handfuls watercress, 

100gm almonds, roasted 

and salted 

2 tsp lemons, juice 

1 tbsp fresh herbs, such 

as parsley, oregano, marjoram, 

finely chopped 

1 cup creme fraiche 

Directions 

Preheat the oven to 220 

deg C. Arrange the tomatoes 

in a dish. 

Drizzle over the oil, 

sprinkle the salt, pepper 

and brown sugar. 

Finely slice the garlic 

and add with the rosemary. 

Bake for 20min then let 

cool. 

Combine the butter 

beans with the watercress. 

Arrange on a platter or 

individual dishes then 

add the tomatoes and the 

almonds. 

Mix together the creme 

fraiche, lemon juice and 

herbs. Spoon over the 

salad before serving. 

Roast chicken legs 

with stuffed green 

olives and lemons 

Serves 4 

Ingredients 

1 tbsp olive oil 

4 chicken legs 

½ tsp cinnamon 

½ tsp Turmeric 

1 tbsp liquid honey 

1½ cups chicken stock 

2 lemons, thinly sliced 

3 bay leaves 

1 cup stuffed green 

olives 

Directions 

Heat oven to 190 deg C. 

Separate the chicken legs 

into drumsticks and 

thighs. 

Rub the pieces all over 

with olive oil, then with 

cinnamon and turmeric 

and season well with salt 

and pepper. 

Place the chicken in an 

oven pan and drizzle with 

liquid honey. 

Arrange the lemon slices 

over the chicken pieces. 

Surround the chicken 

pieces with the chicken 

stock, bay leaves and olives. 

Cover with foil and bake 

for 40min. Remove covering 

and bake for a further 

40min until the chicken is 

golden brown and cooked 

through. 

Test by putting a sharp 

knife into the thickest part 

of the thigh to the bone – if 

the juices run clear, then 

the chicken is cooked. 

BOARDING SCHOOL

The experience of a lifetime 

Sammy Hood is a keen advocate of all 

that boarding has to offer. 

She’s been boarding at St Margaret’s 

College since she started in Year 9. Now 

in Year 13, Sammy is the school’s Head of 

Community Relations. 

“I was buzzing with excitement to start 

boarding at SMC. It was a whole new 

experience but it didn’t take me long to 

get used to the boarding life. The friendly 

and compassionate staff definitely made 

the transition from home in Ashburton to 

boarding much easier. They helped us all 

adjust to the new rules and to living with 

other girls. 

“Living in the dorms during my first 

two years made it very easy to form 

new friendships and these connections 

definitely helped when I did feel home 

sick.” 

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. 

The three boarding houses are arranged 

in year groups and structured to the 

specific needs of each developmental 

stage. In Julius House (Years 7-10) the 

environment is structured and nurturing 

for the girls to make the transition into 

boarding. Kilburn House (Years 11-12) 

encourages the girls to begin personally 

integrating these skills. Cranmer House 

(Year 13) 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. 

Sammy says boarding at SMC has 

helped her to become more independent. 

“As you progress through the year 

levels, your independence grows. The 

connections and relationships you 

build in the SMC boarding community, 

whether it be girls in your year group or 

the staff, are all valuable and also help you 

grow as a person. The academic support 

and pastoral care provided by staff is 

exceptional. It helps the girls to strive to 

their full potential. At the same time, staff 

are always keeping a close eye on each 

girl’s wellbeing. 

“I’ve built strong friendships that will 

last a lifetime, and it’s a lot of fun! You get 

to meet a diverse range of people from all 

backgrounds and everyone is treated as 

equals.”

GARDENING 


Tips to establish your container plants 

EVEN IN THE depths of winter, 

it’s not too early to be thinking 

about your summer garden, or 

getting a burst of colour in pots or 

containers. 

A bit of quick colour can 

do wonders, so fill bowls with 

flowering plants like petunias, 

geraniums or lobellias. 

Container plants are popular 

but when it comes to potting 

mix, confusion reigns. Is potting 

mix really necessary? Won’t soil 

do the same job? 

And is it true that potting mix 

can be dangerous to handle? 

Here are some answers to these 

common questions: 

Why should I use a quality 

potting mix? 

A quality potting mix provides 

the best growing medium for 

container plants. 

Quality potting mixes, unlike 

soil, maintain a proper balance 

between holding moisture and 

draining well. 

This means that plant roots 

can have access to sufficient 

water without the risk of 

drowning or dying from lack of 

oxygen. 

Soil, because its texture varies 

so greatly, isn’t always suitable 

to use in pots. Potting mixes are 

based on organic materials and 

don’t contain any soil. 

Potting mixes can be 

specifically formulated for special 

purposes and situations. 

This means you can provide 

plants with the most suitable 

conditions for healthy growth. 

Find mixes that are specially 

blended for cacti and succulents, 

bulbs, orchids, African violets 

and cyclamens and hanging 

baskets, as well as the more 

general-purpose mixes.

Tips for re-potting 

Start by watering thoroughly. 

Invert the pot and carefully 

remove the plant. Don’t pull it 

by the stem. Sometimes it helps 

to roll the pot on its side and 

squeeze gently to loosen the 

roots. 

In extreme cases it may be 

necessary to break the old pot 

or cut it away from the root ball. 

Remove some of the old potting 

mix and check the roots for 

damage or disease. Trim these 

back to a healthy section. 

Re-pot into (preferably) a 

slightly larger pot. Firm into 

place but don’t press too hard or 

you’ll risk damaging the roots. 

Leave at least 2cm of space at 

the top of the mix for watering. 

Water thoroughly. 

Looking for 

some backyard 

inspiration? 

We’ve got the scoop. 

Speak to us for quality landscaping supplies, 

expert advice and superior service. 

This settles the mix into place 

and removes air pockets. A few 

weeks later, feed with a fertiliser 

that suits container plants. 

Don’t use dry, granular 

fertilisers – such as rose food – 

because there’s too great a risk of 

burning roots. Instead stick to 

controlled release or liquid plant 

foods. 

Is potting mix dangerous? 

Like soil and organic matter, 

potting mixes may carry any 

one of a range of beneficial or 

harmful bacteria. 

To avoid problems it’s best to 

follow some simple precautions 

when handling any of these 

materials. 

Keep potting mix moist, avoid 

breathing dust from potting 

mix, wear gloves and, most 

importantly, wash your hands 

with soap and water when you’ve 

finished potting, or working with 

soil or organic matter. 

Water wise 

When watering potted plants, 

always check that the water can 

drain freely from the pot. 

Don’t leave water sitting in a 

saucer. 

If the saucer must stay beneath 

the pot at all times think about 

putting a layer of gravel in its 

base so that the plant sits well 

above the water.

Quality farrier supplies 

all year round 

With the excitement of the race and 

show season approaching, Austin’s Farrier 

Supplies deliver a comprehensive range 

of quality farrier supplies and products to 

serve the needs of all farriers and horse 

owners. 

The COVID disruption 

last year created a strange 

year for the racing and 

show season. This year, 

the expectation and hope 

is for everything to able to 

get back to normal with 

the A&P shows up and 

running again. 

Austin’s Farrier Supplies 

has been in operation for 

the last three years and 

is owned and operated 

by Rodger and Debbie 

Austin, with help from Ian 

Rodgers three days of the 

week and Barry Jones on 

call when needed. Rodger 

is a farrier by trade and is 

still shoeing but spends most of his time 

in the shop these days. Ian and Barry have 

the combined experience of over twenty 

years in the business. The staff are open 

and friendly and only too willing to help 

anyone who walks in. 

With the breeding season imminent 

Super Bond is a very popular product 

for correcting foals legs. Part of the 

Comfort Mix range it is a super 

bonding adhesive which sets quickly 

to the hoofs and helps straighten foal’s 

legs when it is applied when they are 

young. 

Austin’s Farrier Supplies caters 

for all your horse’s hoof care and 

rehabilitation needs with tried and 

true products, such as Mustad, Kelato, 

Hawthorne, World’s Best Hoof Oil 

and Swelldown. Swelldown is great for 

reducing inflammation in joints and 

ligaments and is very popular with 

horse people. 

The company stocks a wide range of 

Mustad shoes to suit most horses and is 

the South Island agency for Mustad, one 

of the largest brands of farrier supplies in 

the world. They also have a comprehensive 

range of nails by Mustad and Derby 

plus a range of Heller rasps to suit any 

conditions. Austin’s Farrier Supplies stock 

quality tools at affordable prices, which 

range in price and quality with tools to 

suit the full-time farrier down to the 

person that decides to trim their own 

horses’ hooves.

MY PRIDE AND JOY 

Bitten by the bike bug 

Jimmy’s eyes light up and his voice 

becomes animated as he talks about his 

motorcycle collection. From a young age, 

he dreamed of owning a Harley-Davidson. 

However, it took until his thirties before he 

bought that first bike. It was a new 1200cc 

Harley-Davidson Sportster. From that day 

forward, Jimmy’s had the bike bug, and 

his collection of motorcycles has grown. 

He now has an assortment of six Victory 

motorcycles and one Indian motorcycle. 

All are immaculately groomed, stored with 

care beneath protective wraps under the 

ever-watchful eye of their proud owner. 

Loving the brand and story, Jimmy 

started collecting Victorys for their 

appearances and easy maintenance. 

Victorys are well built and provide a 

smooth ride with Jimmy enthusing, 

“Everything about Victory rates ‘10 out 

of 10’, and I would pick a Victory over a 

Harley anytime. So you can say I am a 

victory convert.” 

Polaris produced Victorys from 1998 

until 2017, intending to compete against 

Harley-Davidson. However, as they are 

no longer in production, Jimmy’s hoping 

his investment may be worth something 

but states, “I’m quite happy just looking 

at them. It’s a private collection for my 

enjoyment, and I don’t show them.” 

Choosing a favourite bike isn’t easy 

for Jimmy, but he usually rides his 2007 

Hammer S Sport due to the comfort and 

how it handles around town and on longer 

rides. He also has a Victory Magnum for 

longer journeys for the ultimate comfort 

with lots of power and “all the bells and 

whistles”, including heated handgrips, 

Bluetooth and a high-performance sound 

system. With a grin, Jimmy declares, “It’s a 

car on two wheels with freedom.” 

Jimmy’s collection isn’t complete 

without one particular motorcycle. His 

most collectible bike is a 2008 Victory 

Jackpot Limited Edition designed by Cory 

Ness with the edition number and his 

signature imprinted. Cory is the son of the 

legendary Arlen Ness, known in the bike 

world as the “king of customised bikes”. 

Jimmy only knows of two 2008 Cory Ness 

Jackpots in New Zealand. With a unique 

paint job and specialised components, it is 

a real eye-catcher in iridescent purple and 

orange. 

After seeing the joy this collection of 

motorcycles brings to Jimmy, you can 

only imagine this won’t be the end of this 

Rolleston resident’s acquisitions.

KATS (Kaiapoi Alignment & 

Tyres Ltd) Rolleston 

With the expansion and ever-growing population in 

the Selwyn district, having a local one-stop shop for 

mechanical servicing with a broad range of services 

is vital. All vehicles require ongoing maintenance,

absorbers, suspension adjustment, wheel alignments, 

and tyres.

background is tyres, wheel alignments and suspension 

repairs. Since KATS Rolleston opening in March 

2020, just before the lockdown, business is now 

growing exponentially to meet the need of motorists 

in the Selwyn district. Phil has now taken on another 

team member to bring the total number of staff to 

six as they are extremely busy. Apart from the other 

services offered, they are completing 140-to-150-wheel 

alignments a month.

Palisade makes all the right sounds 

EVEN THOUGH my wife 

entertains me with a piano 

recital nearly every evening, I’m 

not really into classical music, 

nor am I a big fan of television 

advertisements. 

With a combination of those 

two factors it’s a wonder then that 

I spotted the clever advertisement 

for Hyundai’s new sport utility 

vehicle – the Palisade. 

The advertisement goes 

something like this – a group of 

musicians playing instruments 

slowly climb into the Palisade 

demonstrating how spacious 

it is on the inside. It’s a simple 

message that illustrates perfectly 

the capability of the Palisade, it is 

a big vehicle – seven or eight seats 

– all with armchair-like comfort. 

Hyundai has made no secret 

of its target market for Palisade, 

it’s largely destined for theUnited 

States where I would expect it 

to sell very well. Downunder, 

well that’s a different story, the 

Palisade will only appeal to a 

small number of buyers, those 

who like big and are comfortable 

driving something that stretches 

to almost 5m and weighs over 

two-tonne. 

In New Zealand the Palisade 

comes in five variants. If you 

want eight seats then you have no 

choice but to purchase the Elite, 

it comes with either a 3.6-litre 

petrol-powered V6 driving 

through the front wheels, or an 

all-wheel-drive model powered 

by a 2.2-litre four-cylinder diesel 

engine. The Elite lists at $99,990 

and $106,990respectively. 

If you are satisfied with seven 

seats, then Limited specification 

is the model for you, the same 

engine options are available and 

you have got an extra choice of 

nappa leather. The Limited V6 

sits at $107,990, while the diesel 

is priced at $114,990 (nappa adds 

$5k). The evaluation car was the 

latter, sans nappa. 

It must be remembered both 

engines are similar to those that 

power one of Hyundai’s bestselling 

models, the Santa Fe, and 

whereas I expected the weight of 

the Palisade to burden the diesel, 

I’m happy to report that that is far 

from the case. That is one of the 

reasons why I’ve been so smitten 

with the big four-potter over the 

years, it’s largely a continuation 

of the R-Series diesel that I have 

a lot of affection for. It is strong, 

smooth and silent and powers the 

big Palisade with gusto. 

Saying that, the Palisade is not 

a vehicle that you should expect 

to do things quickly, while it does 

cover distance capably, it does so 

with relaxed motion, it performs 

in a subdued manner, and that 

is the measure of a good vehicle, 

something that carries out its 

purpose without strain or fuss. 

Hyundai rate the turbocharged 

oil burner with 147kW and 

HIGH COMFORT: The Palisade comes with the choice of 

seven or eight seats. 

HYUNDAI PALISADE LIMITED: Sport utility vehicle with large car luxury. 

440Nm, both outputs realised 

very low in the rev band (3800 

and 1750rpm). It feels strong 

beneath the accelerator, powerful 

enough to surge to 100km/h in 

9.5sec and will lunge through a 

highway overtake in 6sec (80- 

120km/h). 

The engine is also rated with 

a 7.3-litre per 100km combined 

cycle fuel usage average. That’s 

a bold claim and one that I 

couldn’t replicate, however, my 

evaluation average of 8.8l/100km 

wasn’t that far distant and was 

helped by an amazing 6.3l/100km 

figure showing instantaneously at 

100km/h, the engine very relaxed 

turning over at just 1600rpm. 

Both engines drive through a 

fabulous eight-speed automatic 

transmission. There’s a paddle 

shift mechanism should the 

driver so desire, but I far 

preferred just selecting the drive 

button and letting the engine 

and gearbox do its own thing, 

something that delivers smooth 

shifts through a seemingly 

endless supply of ratios. 

The push-button gear selection 

process is part of an intuitive yet 

comprehensive array of controls 

the driver has command over, 

the all-wheel-drive Palisade has 

genuine off-the-seal capability, it 

has 203mm of ground clearance 

and the drive to all corners will 

get you in an out of very sticky 

situations. My first thought was 

how capable it would be on the 

skifield access road, although 

• Price – Hyundai Palisade 

Limited, $114,990 

• Dimensions – Length, 

4980mm; width, 1975mm; 

height, 1750mm 

• Configuration – Fourcylinder, 

four-wheel-drive, 

2199cc, 147kW, 440Nm, 

eight-speed automatic 

• Performance – 0-100km/h, 

9.5sec 

• Fuel usage – 7.3l/100km 

finding a spot in a crowded car 

park may be a bit more of a 

challenge. 

Mid-winter meant it was 

another wet weekend highway 

evaluation, however, the Palisade 

imparts a well-connected feeling 

on drenched roads. 

That has a lot to do with the 

way the four-wheel-drive system 

works. While there are a host 

of driver-selectable individual 

terrain control modes, in 

standard drive mode power will 

be distributed proportionally 

between front and rear, and 

individual wheels depending on 

how grip is best determined. 

On that subject, huge 

Bridgestone Dueler sport 

specification tyres (245/50 x 20in) 

offer prodigious grip in the first 

instance, they are both quiet and 

informative, just what you want 

in a large luxury car. 

The driveline systems work 

seamlessly and are part of an 

extensive safety network both 

passive and active. It’s not only 

the safety features that make 

the Palisade attractive, it’s got 

everything on-board that will 

satisfy all occupants. A multitude 

of clever devices provide 

individual settings between front 

and rear, all designed so that each 

occupant can have his/her own 

freedom. 

If you don’t need the rear row 

of seats upright, they fold down 

to provide a cavernous load area. 

There’s no shortage of choice in 

New Zealand’s seven-seat SUV 

market. Where the Palisade has 

a point of difference is that it is 

not utility-based, it doesn’t have a 

body over ladder chassis design, 

instead the fully monocoque 

structure has a platform 

engineered for one purpose 

from the ground up and that is 

occupant comfort. Stability and 

capability are additional benefits 

that are a by-product of that type 

of design. 

That being the case, the 

Palisade will conquer sales 

with its all-round functionality 

and, dare I say it, its luxury 

features blending with all-road 

capability sets it apart from the 

competition. 

Not forgetting that if you don’t 

need four-wheel-drive and want 

the benefit of that extra seat, 

the Palisade is a people-mover 

that will transport those from 

all walks of life, including the 

orchestra.

space for toys, a yard for the kids and an entertaining area for the 

adults. A large wooden deck off the dining & living areas is the perfect 

place to host a bbq, sit back & relax after work, or watch the children 

run around & enjoy the kids play house. Set in warm neutral colours, 

the separate lounge & open plan living areas are great for everyday 

living, whilst the functional kitchen will make cooking family meals a 

breeze.

What to watch for when 

the mode of sale changes 

Buying a property is rarely straightforward, 

which is no surprise given that it’s the 

biggest financial commitment most people 

ever make. When you combine big sums of 

money and a considerable level of emotional 

investment, even the simplest transaction 

can be stressful. We hear a lot about the need 

for buyers to do their homework, but there 

are plenty of reasons for sellers to be careful 

too. 

If you’re selling a property with a real estate 

agent, you must sign an agency agreement 

that sets out all the terms and conditions 

of your contract with them, including how 

much commission they will earn from the 

sale and how the property will be marketed. 

That’s why it’s so important to get legal advice 

before you sign an agency agreement. If it’s a 

standard agreement, you usually retain the 

right to sell the property privately but it’s a 

good idea to check this. If you have signed 

an agreement with an agency but decide for 

whatever reason to opt for a DIY private 

sale, you should double and triple-check 

whether the agency agreement requires you 

to pay commission to the real estate agent or 

agency. 

Most agencies use the Real Estate Authority 

(REA) standard clauses in agency 

agreements, which set out certain terms 

and conditions for the contract and the 

payment of commission. According to the 

standard clauses, commission is payable if 

the property is sold within the active term 

of the agreement (normally 90 days) or if it 

is sold privately within six months after the 

end of the term to a buyer that the agent had 

earlier introduced to the property. In other 

words, if the buyer visits an open home run 

by the real estate agent, and then enters into a 

private sale with the seller within six months 

after the end of the agreement, the seller is 

still obliged to pay commission to the agent. 

This can vary depending on whether it is 

a sole or general agreement – talk to your 

lawyer before you sign up. 

Both sole agency agreements and general 

agency agreements provide for commission 

payments after the agreed period ends. If a 

seller enters into a sale within six months of 

the agency agreement ending with a buyer 

who was introduced by the real estate agent 

(or the agent facilitated the sale), then the 

seller must pay the agent commission just as 

they would have done when the agreement 

was still current. So, if the agent brings a 

potential buyer to a property in March, the 

agency agreement expires in April, and the 

seller and purchaser enter into a private 

sale agreement in May, the seller will have 

to pay the agent commission. The sale must 

become unconditional (which is when all 

the conditions of the sale and purchase 

agreement have been met), but it doesn’t 

matter whether it goes unconditional during 

or after the agency period, or during or after 

the six months following expiry, so long as 

the sale and purchase agreement is entered 

into within those timeframes. So, before you 

sign an agency agreement, ask the agency 

if it uses standard REA clauses. If it doesn’t 

you may be exposed to more complicated 

commission risks and you should seek legal 

advice. 

Generally, any issues arising from the agency 

agreement/arrangements between the seller 

and the real estate agent won’t have a direct 

effect on the separate sale and purchase 

agreement between the seller and the buyer. 

However, the wrangling involved may create 

headaches or delays that you as a buyer 

wouldn’t want to be troubled with. 

If you do decide that you’re really keen on a 

property in this situation, seek legal advice 

before getting involved (and especially 

before signing anything). Remember too 

that the REA can help you with questions 

and complaints about sales involving 

licensed real estate agents, but it’s unable to 

step in if you have a problem with a private 

and unlicensed seller.

Can I offer on more than 

one property at a time? 

Some people fall in love at first sight 

when they’re looking to buy a property, 

but many like to keep their options until 

the last minute. This is understandable, 

because it can be scary signing up to such 

a major financial commitment if you think 

something better might come along. But 

it can also be hard to know what to do if 

you’re not sure if your offer on a property 

will be accepted and you are worried about 

2 


missing out on the other ones on your 

wishlist. 

“Every time you make an offer on a 

property you are saying you are committed 

to buying it, subject to whatever conditions 

you include in the offer,” says the Real Estate 

Authority (REA). “These conditions might 

be things like getting a satisfactory property 

inspection, or confirming insurance, or 

having finance approved. It would be 

extremely unusual to add ‘we want the 

right to change our minds in case we see a 

property that we like more’.” 

Remember that a sale and purchase 

agreement – the document that you and the 

seller sign that lays out all the particulars 

of the property and any chattels being sold 

with it, the price you are prepared to pay 

and the date that it will take place – is a 

legally binding contract. 

“Whether you can make offers on other 

properties will depend on how your 

conditions are written. This is why it’s 

crucial to get legal advice before making 

the offer, which becomes legally binding 

as soon as it’s accepted. If you offer on a 

property while you’re waiting to hear back 

on another one, you could end up with two 

accepted offers and two legally binding 

contracts.” 

The REA says a seller doesn’t have to 

respond to your offer within a certain time 

frame unless there is a strict deadline, such 

as in a tender or deadline sale. If you are 

making an offer on a property that is for 

sale by negotiation or by advertised price, 

and you think you might want to keep your 

options open, talk to your lawyer about 

adding an expiry time to it. 

Alternatively, if the deadline for offers has 

not passed and you have a change of heart, 

you could consider asking the agent about 

withdrawing your offer. In this situation we 

recommend you have the agent confirm in 

writing that your offer has been withdrawn. 

“Keep in mind too that making a 

conditional offer on a property, such 

as having finance approved, will not 

necessarily provide you with a ‘get out of jail 

free card’ if you subsequently decide you 

don’t want to go through with the purchase. 

In this situation you could be required to 

prove you weren’t able to get finance. The 

better option is simply to arrange for your 

offer to be withdrawn promptly.” 

Buying a property is a 

complex process whether 

you’re doing it for the first 

time or not 

Buying a property is a complex process 

whether you’re doing it for the first time 

or not – but it’s important to take every 

decision seriously. If you’re finding it hard 

to keep going on your property search, or 

to commit to making an offer, it might be 

helpful to remind yourself about why you 

want to buy a home and to identify your 

must-haves. Writing these things down can 

help keep you on track and make it easier to 

stay focused.

What do you have to tell potential 

buyers when selling your house? 

When you’ve lived in a property for a 

while it’s easy to forget some of its quirks. 

You might be used to the fact that the 

front gate doesn’t shut properly, or that 

the bathroom windows need fixing. Any 

potential buyers will be able to spot issues 

like this when they inspect the property – 

and can choose to fix them if they purchase 

it. But it’s a lot harder for them to identify 

other things you might have forgotten 

about, like the fact that you didn’t bother 

getting the appropriate consents from the 

council when you built the deck 25 years 

ago. 

You might think the deck is fine, but you 

need to front up about the consent issue, 

not least because it’s the decent thing to do. 

“When you’re selling a property you are 

legally obliged to share all the relevant 

information about it,” says the Real Estate 

Agents Authority (REAA). 

“If work has been done on the property 

during your ownership, either by you or 

someone else, the standard terms of the 

sale and purchase agreement require the 

seller to warrant that any legally required 

permits or consents were obtained. If you 

knowingly fail to disclose unconsented 

works, you are in breach of contract. This 

means there is a risk that the sale could fall 

over or that you could run into problems 

prior to settlement. Even worse, the buyer 

could take you to court for breach of 

warranty.” 

Your first step should be to discuss the 

issue with your licensed real estate agent 

and your lawyer, Lampen-Smith says. They 

are likely to advise that you are better off to 

disclose anything unconsented, or to strike 

out the applicable vendor warranties clause 

in the sale and purchase agreement. 

“Once the real estate agent is aware of the 

situation, they are bound by their Code of 

Conduct to disclose it to any prospective 

buyers. If you tell them about the deck or 

any other issues to do with the property, 

but ask them not to tell anyone, they are 

required to stop working for you.” 

Similar disclosure issues can arise over 

more sensitive matters. Some sellers worry 

about whether or not to tell an agent or 

prospective buyers about an issue that 

doesn’t relate to the physical state of the 

property – such as it being the scene of a 

murder, suicide or violent crime. 

Here, deciding what to disclose is less 

straightforward, Lampen-Smith says. 

“The REAA advises agents to take a 

cautious approach and to consider each 

situation on its facts, while recognising the 

individual circumstances.” 

The High Court has said that a more 

recent event, especially one that might 

have gained some notoriety in the local 

neighbourhood, may have more bearing on 

a prospective buyer’s view of the property 

than a historic one. The location of the 

event (whether it took place in the grounds 

of the property or inside the house) and 

whether the property has been lived in since 

it happened, as well as the likely reaction 

of potential buyers, should also be taken 

into account. The death of someone from 

natural causes at the property does not 

need to be disclosed, as this is considered 

an everyday occurrence. 

“If you are in this situation as a seller, it’s 

best to discuss what to do with your real 

estate agent.” 

“They cannot tell prospective buyers 

without your consent – and if they decide 

that a sensitive issue should be disclosed 

but you don’t agree, then they must cease 

to act for you.” 

Whatever the situation, whether it’s 

unconsented work or a tragic event, honesty 

is the best policy. Talk to your agent about 

how the disclosure will be handled. There 

is no need to advertise the information 

or tell everyone who wanders along to an 

open home, but potential buyers who have 

indicated an interest in making an offer 

must be told.

buying or selling property, check

Homes with Absolute 

Assurance 

Building a new home or even a second 

home can be an overwhelming process. 

Selwyn is experiencing extraordinary 

growth in the housing sector, and 

new builds are flourishing. However, 

deciding which company to trust with 

your hard-earned dollars can be a 

stressful and difficult decision. 

Absolute Homes, which began in 

2020, is a Selwyn-based building 

company that prides itself on assuring 

customers they will deliver a trustworthy 

and dependable quality service in design 

and build from start to finish. Hands-on 

owner and director Chris Cawthray is a 

master builder with close to 30 years of 

experience and has an extensive range of 

skills in design project management and 

full build contracts, including land and 

house packages. Absolute Homes has a 

focus on the Selwyn market and is keen 

to support other local businesses. 

After having a commercial 

construction business, Chris realised 

this was not where his passion lay. Chris 

loves helping people, and he states, 

“With first home buyers, there is so 

much gratitude and buzz about building 

a first home.” Chris’s wife Ange takes 

care of the business administration and 

marketing for the growing business. As 

a smaller family-orientated company 

Absolute Homes can offer a free service 

to work with the architect to personalise 

and customise plans to meet individual 

needs. All sub-contractors are Licenced 

Building Practitioners to ensure quality 

and commitment. By building solid 

relationships with their clients, Absolute 

Homes enables the owner to be more 

involved and put their own touch on 

their homes. As Chris states, “With low 

overheads, the client can get more bang 

for their buck.” 

Due to the current market, Absolute 

Homes explains clients should be aware 

of several important aspects. At this 

time, the consent process may take 50-60 

days. However, as Absolute Homes is 

a professional partner with the Selwyn 

District Council, this process has been 

significantly streamlined to 10-20 days. 

While there are current supply issues 

for building materials, planning is 

critical, and building timeframes may be 

extended. 

Absolute Homes is always there to 

advise clients and is ready with solutions 

and answers. Chris and Ange are both 

down-to-earth people who exhibit 

good-old-fashioned values and who do 

what they say. Absolute Homes realise 

customers invest a large amount of 

money, so do not take them for granted. 

Chris and Ange have a passion for 

building and helping people into their 

own homes and appreciate the process 

and journey they are on with their 

customers.

SELLING YOUR HOME? 

Potential buyers are 

likely to be living in your 

neighbourhood, it’s an 

area that they already love 

and are actively seeking 

to stay in. That’s why it 

makes sense to advertise 

your property in the 

Selwyn Property Guide. 

We are the only media 

that reaches across the 

entire Selwyn District.
