Demand for sections<br />
sees prices skyrocket<br />
• By Susan Sandys<br />
LACK OF LAND and high demand is<br />
continuing to see section prices soar in<br />
the district.<br />
The latest CoreLogic House Price Index<br />
shows the district’s average residential<br />
property prices have risen almost 10<br />
per cent in three months, compared to<br />
just 5.6 per cent in Christchurch and 4.8<br />
per cent nationwide.<br />
However, real estate agents say the<br />
main rise has been in section prices,<br />
which have in many cases doubled<br />
since prior to last year’s Covid lockdown.<br />
Chris Jones of<br />
Bayleys Realty<br />
Group <strong>Selwyn</strong> said<br />
an 800 sq m section<br />
at Lincoln that would<br />
have sold in the high<br />
$200,000s in March<br />
last year, was now<br />
selling for more than<br />
Chris Jones<br />
$500,000.<br />
Land was running out but more<br />
was set to come on stream as the<br />
district council considered zone<br />
change applications from developers.<br />
In the Lincoln, Prebbleton and<br />
Rolleston areas alone, there were<br />
potentially thousands of new sections to<br />

THERE’S generally a couple<br />
of ways to take the risk word<br />
out of youth – get them<br />
into jobs or playing sport.<br />
Preferably both.<br />
Police are trying that<br />
philosophy on a group of atrisk<br />
youths from Rolleston,<br />
launching a programme to<br />
give them a taste of the construction<br />
industry (page 5).<br />
Said Sergeant Royden<br />
van Dyk: “If you can use a<br />
PlayStation, you can operate<br />
a digger and you can get paid<br />
for it as well.<br />
“One of them might be the<br />
next CEO of a construction<br />
company in years to come,<br />
the opportunities are<br />
endless,” van Dyk said.<br />
That sounds a far better<br />
future than ending up in jail.<br />
As the district population<br />
swells, so will social<br />
problems. The police<br />
initiative should be<br />
applauded.<br />

MAYOR SAM Broughton is<br />
not supporting a call for Local<br />
Government minister Nanaia<br />
Mahuta to resign over the Three<br />
Waters reforms.<br />
While the<br />
district council<br />
will not agree<br />
to transfer its<br />
water assets to<br />
a new Government<br />
entity,<br />
without full engagement<br />
with<br />
ratepayers, it is<br />
not backing five<br />
Christchurch<br />
councillors who want Mahuta to<br />
resign.<br />
“She is thinking about the<br />
national picture and the case for<br />
change on that scale,” Broughton<br />
said.<br />
Nevertheless, the district<br />
council has reiterated its calls to<br />
pause the Three Waters reforms<br />
as it formally responds to the<br />
minister.<br />
District councillors fear the<br />
reforms will be made mandatory,<br />
however, are taking Government’s<br />
word that they will be<br />
optional.<br />
“Our council have committed<br />
to formally consult with our<br />
communities before making a<br />
decision to stay in or out. Any<br />
decision we make will be in the<br />
best interests of <strong>Selwyn</strong> and not<br />
influenced by the decisions of<br />
other councils,” Broughton<br />
said.<br />
Informal feedback with the<br />
community had indicated<br />
ratepayers were concerned about<br />
losing a local say in the running<br />
of their assets.<br />
The call to pause the reforms<br />
was first proposed by the<br />
Canterbury Mayoral Forum, of<br />
which Broughton is chairman.<br />
He said the case for change<br />
had not been proven.<br />
In its response to the reforms,<br />
the district council has asked the<br />

Government for more information<br />
to help it fully understand<br />
the issues, and for time to<br />
consult.<br />
Councillor Grant Miller said<br />
the Department of internal<br />
Affairs would now collate<br />
councils’ responses nationwide,<br />
and present the final model for<br />
them to either opt in or out.<br />
“There has been increasing<br />
concern that the reforms may be<br />
made mandatory, Government<br />
from the outset has repeatedly<br />
stated the reforms will be<br />
optional and presently there has<br />
been no change to this position,<br />
although Minister Mahuta<br />
has made strong statements<br />
in Parliament that the case<br />
for change is proven and<br />
compelling,” Miller said.<br />

Bird’s nest<br />
cause of<br />
engine fire at<br />
petrol station<br />
• By Susan Sandys<br />
THE ENGINE of a John Deere<br />
tractor burst into flames at<br />
Kirwee Challenge petrol station<br />
on Friday.<br />
Kirwee Volunteer Fire Brigade<br />
chief Stuart Jones said a bird’s<br />
nest under the bonnet ignited<br />
after the driver, a Kirwee farmer,<br />
drove onto the forecourt to refuel,<br />
around lunchtime.<br />
“Any fire on a forecourt is<br />
dangerous,” he said.<br />
However, thanks to the<br />
quick actions of staff at the<br />
petrol station dousing it with<br />
fire extinguisher and calling<br />
emergency services, it was<br />
extinguished.<br />
He reminded farmers to<br />
check the engine bays of farm<br />
machinery regularly, as birds<br />
could build a nest there in just<br />
half a day.<br />
On Sunday, the brigade was<br />
called to a grass fire at West<br />
Melton, backed up by brigades<br />
from Rolleston, Burnham and<br />
Darfield Rural.<br />
The fire spread across a<br />
paddock into a hedgeline of trees.<br />
Firefighters were at the scene for<br />
about two hours.<br />

“That won’t necessarily bring<br />
prices down, but may slow down<br />
the increase in prices,” he said.<br />
As well as a shortage of sections,<br />
there was high demand. This was<br />
coming from more people moving<br />
into Canterbury from the North<br />
Island, Kiwis returning home from<br />
overseas choosing to live here, and<br />
people wanting to upsize from their<br />
smaller homes in Christchurch.<br />
Recently there had been a lot of<br />
about 20 sections go up for sale in<br />
Lincoln, and Bayleys received more<br />
than 100 offers.<br />
The <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> reported in<br />
August that section prices had<br />
doubled in Rolleston in about the<br />
last year.<br />
Matson and Allan Real Estate Ltd<br />
director Chris Flanagan said he had<br />
not seen the market so buoyant and<br />
aggressive in the about 35 years he<br />
had been selling in the district.<br />

POLICE LAUNCHED a pilot<br />
programme on Friday to get<br />
at-risk youth into construction<br />
jobs.<br />
They took about 10 young<br />
people from the Rolleston area,<br />
aged from 16 to their 20s, to<br />
Isaac Construction<br />
at McLeans<br />
Island.<br />
Sergeant<br />
Royden van Dyk<br />
and youth aid<br />
officer Bruce<br />
Ward are getting<br />
various<br />
employers on<br />
van Dyk<br />
board and plan to take youth on<br />
similar visits each month.<br />
“One of them might be the<br />
next CEO of a construction<br />
company in years to come, the<br />
opportunities are endless,” van<br />
Dyk said.<br />
“If you can use a PlayStation,<br />
you can operate a digger and<br />
you can get paid for it as well.”<br />
Van Dyk himself has a background<br />
in construction, having<br />
been a former road surfacing<br />
manager.<br />
“There’s plenty of opportunity<br />
in construction. It’s one of New<br />
Zealand’s biggest industries,” he<br />
said.<br />
Young people were looking for<br />
work, particularly in the wake of<br />
Covid lockdowns. “A lot of stress<br />
comes down from money and<br />
income. If we can get people a<br />
steady job then that would hopefully<br />
change the stress at home,”<br />
van Dyk said.<br />
Ward said it was fantastic to<br />
see youth he was dealing with<br />
learning about the industry.<br />

Women<br />
crashes after<br />
swerving to<br />
avoid ducks<br />
• By Susan Sandys<br />
A MOTORIST came out of a car<br />
crash worse off than the ducklings<br />
she was trying to avoid.<br />
The driver told Coalgate Volunteer<br />
Fire Brigade firefighters and<br />
a nearby farmer at the scene she<br />
had over-corrected after swerving<br />
to avoid a family of ducks. The<br />
crash happened about 7.30pm on<br />
Thursday on State Highway 77.<br />
“She’s a very lucky lady,” said<br />
the farmer.<br />
He heard the sound of tyres<br />
screeching, then a loud thud. His<br />
wife phoned 111 while he put his<br />
boots on and ran to the scene,<br />
about 100m down his driveway.<br />
He arrived to find the woman<br />
standing and looking at her badly<br />
damaged car. It appeared the car<br />
had gone into the ditch on its side,<br />
but had tipped back upright. Her<br />
only injury was a small scratch to<br />
her head.<br />
It appeared the ducks had made<br />
a quick escape, as not even a<br />
feather was to be seen.<br />
Fire chief Philip Shaw advised<br />
motorists not to risk their life to<br />
avoid animals on the road.<br />
“Because sometimes they<br />
appear very quickly,” Shaw said.<br />

Road repaired but care still needed<br />
• By Susan Sandys<br />
A BOUNCY strip of Ellesmere Rd<br />
has finally been repaired.<br />
The district council has<br />
re-levelled the 400m strip between<br />
Robinsons and Leadleys Rd at<br />
Prebbleton.<br />
It comes after the road has been<br />
subject to 70km/h temporary speed<br />
limit signs for the last five years.<br />
It was the subject of complaints<br />
from motorists, concerned about<br />
trucks and large vehicles hitting<br />
areas that had sunk, and bouncing<br />
across the centre line.<br />
Lincoln motorist Andrew Tabb<br />
told the <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> in July the<br />
road made “a joke” out of temporary<br />
speed signs.<br />
“How long is temporary before<br />
it’s forever?” Tabb said.<br />
“It’s really been permanent, not<br />
temporary.”<br />
He described having close calls<br />
with traffic moving in the opposite<br />
direction, as the piece of road was<br />
getting worse every week. He said<br />
as trucks and large vehicles hit the<br />
areas that have sunk, they bounce<br />
around crossing the centre line.<br />
Now that the road, in a permanent<br />
speed zone of 80km/h, has<br />
been levelled, motorists will still<br />
have to drive with care. This is<br />
because the underlying soil of peat<br />
is expected to continue causing<br />
changes and slumping.<br />
Transportation asset delivery<br />
manager Mark Chamberlain told<br />
the <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> in July that more<br />
long-term repair of the road will be<br />
conducted as part of construction<br />
of seal widening, which is in the<br />
Long Term Plan for 2024/25.<br />
There had been no reported<br />
crashes on the section of road since<br />
September 2014.<br />

Future of community garden still uncertain<br />
• By Susan Sandys<br />
LINCOLN Envirotown founder<br />
Sue Jarvis is disappointed that<br />
a public notice to dispose of<br />
Lincoln Maternity Hospital<br />
does not mention the site’s<br />
community garden.<br />
“They might think the community<br />
no longer wants the hospital,<br />
although that is debatable,<br />
but the community certainly<br />
wants the community<br />
garden,” Jarvis (right)<br />
said about the Canterbury<br />
District Health<br />
Board’s notice.<br />
Lincoln Envirotown<br />
was grateful to the<br />
CDHB for allowing its<br />
community garden be<br />
established at the site in 2008,<br />
and did not want to lose the<br />
facility now.<br />
The CDHB is required<br />
by the New Zealand Public<br />
Health and Disability<br />
Act to consider any public<br />
views on disposal of land<br />
prior to proceeding with<br />
the disposal process.<br />
The 5401m2 property<br />
contains the original 1926 maternity<br />
building, as well and a<br />
2011 dental building which may<br />
be relocated to another CDHB<br />
site.<br />
The services provided from the<br />
property are being relocated to<br />
the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Health Hub at Rolleston,<br />
which is due for completion<br />
in December.<br />
The proposal and summary of<br />
submissions will be presented to<br />
the Minister of Health for final<br />
approval before any disposal of<br />
land goes ahead.<br />
Jarvis urged residents to be<br />
part of the submission process by<br />
the closing date of November 5.<br />

FIRE READY: Prebbleton residents Judith and Vincent Kearns<br />

Residents being informed of fire risk<br />
• By Susan Sandys<br />
PREBBLETON residents near a<br />
fire on Tosswill Rd are making<br />
their homes safer after a friendly<br />
visit from Fire and Emergency<br />
New Zealand personnel.<br />
Senior adviser community<br />
readiness and recovery Wayne<br />
Hamilton and community risk<br />
manager Dean Harker went door<br />
to door on Thursday, providing<br />
reassurance to residents<br />
following the September 25<br />
blaze.<br />
The vegetation fire was fanned<br />
by strong northerly winds. It<br />
was brought under control by<br />
noon as multiple crews and at<br />
least 10 fire tankers responded.<br />
It followed a fire in January 2013<br />
in Prebbleton, which destroyed<br />
a poultry farm and razed three<br />
homes.<br />
Hamilton said he and Harker<br />
talked to residents or left<br />
information packs in letter boxes<br />
of about 200 homes.<br />
“It’s a great way to provide<br />
information for the coming<br />
summer from a prevention side<br />
of things,” he said.<br />
Stationmasters Way resident<br />
Judith Kearns said she and<br />
husband Vincent appreciated the<br />
visit.<br />
They would now be installing<br />
more smoke alarms, additional<br />
to the two they already had.<br />
“It’s awareness, you don’t<br />
think about it until something<br />
like a fire happens,” Kearns<br />
said.<br />
They would also draw up an<br />
escape plan and put it on the<br />
fridge, so visitors to their home<br />
could see it.<br />
“We have lots of grandchildren<br />
who come to see us, we are<br />
going to get that organised,” she<br />
said.<br />
New sign to<br />
protect eels<br />
removed<br />
MORE SIGNAGE will be put in<br />
to protect tame eels people feed in<br />
Lincoln.<br />
One of two signs warning<br />
people not to fish for the longfin<br />
eels in Liffey Springs Reserve was<br />
ripped out within two weeks of<br />
going in.<br />
A district council spokesman<br />
said it would be replaced on a<br />
stronger post, and a third sign<br />
would also be put in.<br />
Teenagers have been seen by<br />
people in the area harassing<br />
and trying to catch the 20 or so<br />
protected tame eels, causing an<br />
outcry on Facebook.<br />
The eels at the reserve are<br />
protected by the district council’s<br />
parks and reserves by-law and<br />
also the Reserves Act.<br />
They have been a feature of the<br />
stream for decades.<br />

THE LATEST Nielsen annual<br />
readership report shows big<br />
increases in readership for<br />
Star Media newspaper titles.<br />
Starmax is now read 199,000<br />
times a week, up 16,000 readers<br />
on the last report.<br />
Star Media regional manager<br />
Steve McCaughan said it<br />
confirms what has been<br />
known for a while – free local<br />
newspapers and the printed<br />
word are trusted more than<br />
ever.<br />
“Readers want local news<br />
that’s relevant to them that they<br />
can trust and that’s exactly what<br />
we aim to deliver – you just<br />
can’t get that anywhere else and<br />
certainly trust has been lost on<br />
social media,” he said.<br />
“Plus, there’s the tactility<br />
factor of newspapers, it’s<br />
back in and people like reading<br />
a physical product in their<br />
home. It’s extremely pleasing<br />
to see all the titles we survey<br />
had excellent readership results<br />
– with The Star at 97,000,<br />
North Canterbury News, 48,000,<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong>, 45,000 and<br />
Bay Harbour News, 9000<br />
readers.<br />
Said McCaughan: “This is<br />
great news for our advertisers<br />
where placement of just one ad<br />
in Starmax will be seen 199,000<br />
times. That’s a larger audience<br />
with one ad than any other<br />
media option can offer.<br />
“The Press readership has<br />
fallen (in line with their<br />
circulation decline) and The<br />
Star now has 15,000 more<br />
readers each issue than The<br />
Press. With our increasing<br />
readership we are seeing<br />

A LINCOLN University student is<br />
backing calls for a cycleway to be given<br />
urgency on the township’s busy Gerald<br />

Ye Yuan was lucky to escape serious injuries<br />
when she was knocked off her bike<br />
two years ago by a motorist who failed to<br />
stop for her as he was turning right into<br />
Challenge Lincoln.<br />
Now Lincoln University ecologist Mike<br />
Bowie has suffered the same fate as he<br />
biked to work. He was left with a cracked<br />
helmet and suspected broken rib.<br />
But work on a dedicated cycleway<br />
won’t start until the 2027/28 financial<br />
year which Bowie and Yuan say is<br />
“absurd.”<br />

Plea for the return of<br />
puppets stolen with car<br />
• By Bea G oding<br />
A VETERAN children’s<br />

their car stolen last w ek in New<br />
Brighton are wo ried thieves<br />
don’t kno wha they’ve driven<br />
away with.<br />
Natural Magic Pirates pu peters<br />
Ke ry and Mary McCa mon<br />
woke up on Saturday to discover<br />
their 1 98 Subaru Impreza had<br />
vanished from their Marine Pde<br />
driveway, along with their life’s<br />
work inside.<br />
The stolen vehicle was ca rying<br />
a Magic Pu pet Box containing<br />
i replaceable handmade pu pets<br />
the pair have used to entertain<br />
children for the last four decades.<br />
Mary feared the box wi l be<br />
carele sly dumped. Having the<br />
car back would be a bonus, but<br />
returning what was inside was<br />
what ma tered most.<br />
“We’re hoping someone wi l find<br />
it and trace it back to us,” she said.<br />
“We recognise the people who<br />
t ok the car didn’t want our puppets,<br />
but it’s hugely inconvenient<br />
and sad for the children that we<br />
like to do shows for.”<br />
The McCa mons have b en<br />

city since moving here in 1983.<br />

CDHB<br />
staff<br />
slow to<br />
take up<br />
free flu<br />
vaccine<br />
• By Susan Sandys<br />
FEWER THAN 20 per cent of<br />
Canterbury District Health Board<br />
staff have so far taken up free flu<br />
vaccines.<br />
The figure suggests the CDHB<br />
is well behind the 80 per cent<br />
target that the Ministry of Health<br />
has for district health board<br />
health care workers.<br />
The revelation comes following<br />
news last month the CDHB remains<br />
among nine in the country<br />
that does not know which of<br />
their staff are vaccinated against<br />
Covid-19.<br />
Chief people officer Mary<br />
Johnston said yesterday about<br />
2000 staff had received their<br />
influenza vaccination at the<br />
health board’s free clinics. This<br />
number did not include staff who<br />
may have chosen to receive the<br />
vaccine from their own GP or<br />
pharmacy.<br />
The CDHB employs about<br />
11,500 people.<br />
The roll-out of the free flu<br />
vaccinations for staff was made<br />
available from July 8.<br />

Massive<br />
effort to<br />
get meals<br />
to those<br />
in need<br />
• By Samantha Mythen<br />
VOLUNTEERS ARE working<br />
through lockdown to get meals<br />
to people in need around the<br />
harbour basin.<br />
Lyttelton Community House,<br />
which is operating as an essential<br />
service, is delivering its normal<br />
20-30 meals a week.<br />
Community house social<br />
worker Claire Coveney, who has<br />
worked with the organisation for<br />
two years, said it was “a massive<br />
community team effort.”<br />
The service began after the<br />
earthquakes, which resulted in<br />
the community house bringing in<br />
a commercial kitchen.<br />
Coveney said most of the people<br />
they help are those who are older,<br />
have disabilities or have health<br />
issues. The meals cost $8.50.<br />
“They may have difficulties<br />
cooking or food shopping, or they<br />
need legitimate rest or have been<br />
unwell in hospital,” she said.<br />
The organisation helps people<br />
with both short and long-term<br />
issues, for however long they<br />
need, Coveney said.<br />

BUSY:<br />
A large<br />
group of<br />
people<br />
lined up<br />
recently<br />
for the<br />
Covid-19<br />
jab at a<br />
pop-up<br />
clinic at<br />
Rolleston.<br />
Helping set-up vaccination<br />
clinic prompted by<br />
sister’s Covid experience<br />
• By Susan Sandys<br />
BLADE LAZO knows first<br />
hand why people should<br />
be vaccinated against<br />
Covid-19.<br />
The Lincoln resident is<br />
chairman of Pinoy<br />
CARES Canterbury,<br />
which recently<br />
organised a pop-up<br />
clinic at Rolleston.<br />
Three weeks ago<br />
he got devastating<br />
news that his sister<br />
contracted Covid-19<br />
in the family’s home<br />
city of Manila in the<br />
Philippines.<br />
Pinoy CARES is a<br />
non-profit organisation<br />
promoting Filipino culture<br />
and values. He said it had<br />
been fantastic to have<br />
Pegasus Health and other<br />
organisations, including<br />
the Philippine Chaplaincy<br />
Dioceses of Christchurch,<br />
the district council and the<br />
Canterbury District Health<br />
Board, come on board to<br />
offer the pop-up clinic.<br />
It was held last month at<br />
the Rolleston Community<br />
Centre. A second one will<br />
be held <strong>October</strong> 28.<br />
Lazo said the first clinic<br />
had gone well, with about<br />
120 people getting jabbed<br />
after making a booking,<br />
and about 15 extra people<br />
getting jabbed after walking<br />
in.<br />
Now that he had the<br />
experience of having a<br />
close family<br />
member contract<br />
the virus, it made<br />
him even more<br />
aware of just how<br />
important vaccination<br />
was.<br />
“I keep telling<br />
my story for<br />
my community<br />
here. If you get<br />
the Covid virus you don’t<br />
know if you are safe. Being<br />
vaccinated is a support, not<br />
just for you, but for your<br />
loved ones,” Lazo said.<br />
His sister Jacqueline fell<br />
ill two weeks after receiving<br />
her second Covid-19<br />
jab.<br />
“She said: ‘Pray for me,<br />
I’m really worried, I think<br />
I have got Covid’,” Lazo<br />
said.<br />
This was in the family<br />
chat group, incorporating<br />
Lazo and other family<br />
members. She reported<br />
symptoms including a dry<br />
throat, body pains and<br />
feeling weak. He said they<br />
Blade Lazo<br />
tried to boost her spirits<br />
with kind words and<br />
telling her to stay strong.<br />
However, they could not<br />
help but become upset,<br />
particularly as they found<br />
out the results of her Covid<br />
test five days later. It was<br />
positive, for the Delta variant.<br />
The 46-year-old continued<br />
self-isolating at<br />
home, where she lives with<br />
her daughter and granddaughter.<br />
She temporarily<br />
lost her sense of taste and<br />
smell. She recovered and<br />
returned a negative test last<br />
week.<br />
Lazo said he was grateful<br />
that Jacqueline was vaccinated,<br />
as he believes this<br />
saved her from becoming<br />
seriously ill with the virus.<br />
She suspects she caught it<br />
from her cousin who had<br />
recently attended a funeral<br />
service.<br />
Prior to hearing about<br />
his sister’s Covid-19<br />
symptoms, Lazo and<br />
fellow members of Pinoy<br />
CARES Canterbury had<br />
approached Pegasus Health<br />
to find out about holding<br />
the pop-up vaccination<br />
clinic at Rolleston.<br />
Legal Matters<br />
Caveat Emptor – Buyer Beware<br />
when Purchasing at Auction<br />
Sale by Auction is prevalent in the<br />
current property market. Buyers<br />
should be aware that on the<br />
fall of the hammer the Auction<br />
Agreement is unconditional, and<br />
they are essentially “locked in”<br />
and legally obliged to complete<br />
settlement of their purchase.<br />
We summarise some of the key<br />
steps potential purchasers can<br />
take to ensure they are ready to<br />
bid:<br />
1. Register your interest in<br />
the property: A seller (Vendor)<br />
can withdraw a property<br />
from sale at any time prior to<br />
the auction date. If you are<br />
particularly keen to secure a<br />
property you may consider<br />
submitting a pre-auction offer<br />
to the Vendor. If another party<br />
submits a pre-auction offer, and<br />
the auction is brought forward,<br />
you will then be notified if you<br />
have registered your interest<br />
with the agent.<br />
2. Review the Property<br />
Information Pack: Another<br />
reason to register your interest<br />
with the agent is to obtain a<br />
copy of the Property Information<br />
Pack. This is likely to contain<br />
the Auction Agreement, Record<br />
of Title and Land Information<br />
Memorandum. It may also<br />
contain details of the current<br />
insurance policy, a market rental<br />
appraisal and a builder’s report.<br />
3. Obtain unconditional<br />
finance approval: If you reliant<br />
on a loan, ensure you have<br />
unconditional approval from<br />
your finance provider. A general<br />
pre-approval may not suffice<br />
as often the bank will want to<br />
approve the specific property<br />
being purchased. The bank<br />
may also require a satisfactory<br />
valuation prior to the auction<br />
date.<br />
4. Deposit: If you are<br />
successful at auction it is<br />
common for a deposit of 10% of<br />
the purchase price to be payable<br />
on the day. You should be<br />
aware that you cannot use your<br />
KiwiSaver funds for payment of<br />
the deposit when purchasing at<br />
auction.<br />
5. Do not overspend: Set<br />
yourself a limit and do not bid<br />
over the maximum price you<br />
can afford. There are no legal<br />
remedies available to you if you<br />
overbid and are subsequently<br />
unable to afford to complete<br />
settlement.<br />
6. Advise your Solicitor you<br />
intend to bid: We often review<br />
Auction Information Packs, can<br />
ensure all is in order and are<br />
here to guide you through the<br />
process.<br />

Purchaser, we are here to assist.<br />

CENTRESTAGE Rolleston’s latest<br />
show LegallyBlondeJR opens on<br />
Friday.<br />
Based on the hit movie Legally<br />
Blonde, the production starring<br />
talented youngsters follows<br />
protaganist Elle Woods on her journey<br />
through Harvard to impress her exboyfriend.<br />
Pictured is the cast with<br />
choreographer Shannon Nuttall<br />
(second row far left), musical director<br />
Caelan Thomas (second row far right)<br />
and director Nickie Hughes (top row<br />
far right).<br />
Spokeswoman Courtney Hyde said<br />
the cast and crew was preparing for<br />
a full-on weekend of performance,<br />
featuring five shows, after two shows<br />
were added to meet demand.<br />
Tickets are limited with<br />
100-capacity limits in accordance with<br />
alert level 2 guidelines, and the first<br />
shows sold out in a week.<br />
“Rehearsals were humming along<br />
before the latest lockdown,” Hyde<br />
said.<br />
However, while they lost several<br />
weeks, cast members had “loved playing<br />
catch up.” It is CentreStage Rolleston’s<br />
third show this year, following<br />
Chicago and BlackAdder II.

Milestone celebration for artists<br />
DARFIELD ARTWEEK organisers<br />
will celebrate 40 years of annual art<br />
exhibitions this weekend.<br />
Malvern Community Arts Council<br />
chairman Philip Baldwin said Darfield<br />
Artweek began as a weekend exhibition<br />
by local artists.<br />
“It has grown to a 10-day celebration of<br />
art that attracts entries from as many as<br />
160 artists in <strong>Selwyn</strong> District, the city of<br />
Christchurch, and countrywide,” Baldwin<br />
said.<br />
There would be more than 300 artworks<br />
by at least 130 artists at the exhibition, at<br />
Darfield Recreation Centre. These numbers<br />
compared favourably with last year’s<br />
351 works by 160 artists, considering the<br />
uncertainty that the August lockdown<br />
had caused, Baldwin said.<br />
At the same time, the arts council would<br />
showcase artworks at Te Huanui Art Gallery<br />
in Darfield by outstanding artists who<br />
had exhibited at Darfield Artweek and the<br />
gallery over the last 40 years.<br />
Judge Shirin Khosraviani, curator of the<br />
Ashburton Art Gallery, will announce the<br />
CULMINATION:<br />
Artists bring in<br />
their hundreds<br />
of art works<br />
each year for<br />
exhibition at<br />
Darfield Artweek.<br />
winner of the $2000 Malvern Community<br />
Arts Council premier award at the opening<br />
night gala on Friday.<br />
An array of additional awards, donated<br />
by local sponsors, will also be presented.<br />
“We are thrilled at the level of sponsorship<br />
from local businesses and donations<br />
from individuals which make it possible<br />
for us to offer a generous list of awards,”<br />
Baldwin said.<br />
“This will allow everyone to visit and<br />
appreciate the breadth of artistic talent<br />
that Artweek attracts,” Baldwin said.<br />

IT’S BEEN a hard<br />
day’s night for Lincoln<br />
University entomology<br />
research collection curator<br />
John Marris and his team.<br />
They recently completed<br />
the mammoth task of<br />
adding 14,000 new beetle<br />
specimens to the university’s<br />
collection.<br />
The beetles, gifted by the<br />
University of Canterbury,<br />
represent the single largest<br />
donation of specimens in<br />
the collection’s 50-year<br />
history.<br />
Numbering almost 1000<br />
species, many of which are<br />
new to science, the specimens<br />
add significantly<br />
to the overall coverage of<br />
insect biodiversity within<br />
the Lincoln collection.<br />
As such, they are a large<br />
addition to the existing<br />
250,000 pinned insects<br />
already held.<br />
Lincoln University<br />
houses one of the country’s<br />
largest entomology collections<br />
and is the only<br />
university-based collection<br />
in New Zealand.<br />
The collection is used by<br />
Lincoln staff and students,<br />
as well as national and<br />
international researchers,<br />
as an identification<br />
reference library and as<br />
a source for new species’<br />
descriptions.<br />
Marris said the beetle<br />
donation came from a<br />
large study on the impact<br />
of forest changes on the<br />
invertebrate fauna in<br />
the Hurunui District. It<br />
focused on topics such as<br />
BUG INVASION: Thousands of new beetle<br />
specimens at Lincoln University will be an<br />
important resource for future research, says<br />
entomology research collection curator John<br />
Marris.<br />
declining forest cover and<br />
edge effects from adjacent<br />
pastoral land.<br />
“It will be an important<br />
resource for future<br />
research on the impacts<br />
of changes to our forests,”<br />
Marris said.<br />
The project took<br />
research technician<br />
Sally Ladbrook around 700<br />
hours to complete.<br />
It was was supported<br />
by funding from the<br />
Brian Mason Scientific and<br />
Technical Trust, which<br />
provides grants for science<br />
and technology in the<br />
Canterbury and Westland<br />
regions.<br />
The New Zealand insect<br />
fauna consists of 10,000<br />
described (named) species,<br />
but it is estimated that<br />
another 10,000 species are<br />
yet to be described.<br />
Beetles account for 40<br />
per cent of all insect species.<br />
The overwhelming<br />
majority of New Zealand<br />
insect species, more than<br />
90 per cent, are endemic to<br />
New Zealand.

Fastball45 tournament<br />
Razorbacks warm up<br />
for softball season<br />
• By John Cosgrove<br />
THE ROLLESTON<br />
Razorbacks had a good<br />
hit out at the two-day preseason<br />
Halswell Fastball45<br />
softball tournament held<br />
over the weekend.<br />
Five women’s and seven<br />
men’s teams lined up for<br />
the fast-paced round-robin<br />
tournament.<br />
Each game starts with<br />
two runners already on<br />
bases and lasts for 45min<br />
or four innings, which<br />
ever comes first.<br />
While fast-paced,<br />
the game is also a very<br />
tactical one with lots of<br />
bunts, hits and runs, and<br />
squeeze plays called by<br />
coaches.<br />
Parklands Christchurch<br />
United Devils men’s team<br />
were on the winning side<br />
of the action at the end of<br />
the two days, taking the<br />
outright win after a close<br />
fought final against ELE<br />
Papanui.<br />
With the final score tied<br />
at 7-7, the Devils took the<br />
win on a countback, beating<br />
ELE Papanui in the<br />
first three countback criteria<br />
of double plays, squeeze<br />
play runs and power play<br />
runs.<br />
The Kaiapoi Queens<br />
premier women took out<br />
the womens trophy while<br />
runners up Sydenham<br />

Next stage of town centre<br />
under way<br />
With Te Ara Ātea and the Sensory Space nearing completion,<br />
the next stage of work on the Rolleston Town Centre has begun.<br />
Council contractors are installing new services, car parks and<br />
completing the new slow speed road connecting Moore Street and<br />
Rolleston Drive. The work is due to be completed in May 2022.<br />
A section of the Rolleston Reserve greenspace is closed to allow<br />
work to occur, and the playground and skate park will be closed at<br />
times during construction, when work is required in those areas.<br />
Access will remain for the Scouts Den, Playcentre, tennis courts and<br />
Rolleston Community Centre.<br />

Council calls for time out on Government’s<br />
water reform proposal<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> District Council has called for a pause in the Government’s water reform proposal, and<br />
will not agree to transfer any water assets to a new entity without full engagement with the<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> community.<br />
The Council has sent its formal response to Minister for Local Government Nanaia Mahuta on the<br />
Government’s proposed three waters reform proposals.<br />
The Council has reiterated calls for a pause in the water reform process, first proposed by the<br />
Canterbury Mayoral Forum chaired by <strong>Selwyn</strong> Mayor Sam Broughton.<br />
“As yet, we do not believe the case for change has been proven for <strong>Selwyn</strong>. In our response we<br />
have asked the Government for more information to help us fully understand certain issues and for<br />
time to consult with our community before making any decisions,” Mayor Broughton says.<br />
The Council has committed to consult with <strong>Selwyn</strong> residents before opting in or out of the reforms.<br />
It is essential the public has a voice and is heard both in the reform proposals and the ongoing<br />
governance of our most essential service, Mayor Broughton says.<br />
“Informal feedback has indicated that our communities’ primary concern is about losing a local<br />
say in the running of their assets."<br />
The response also calls on the Government to answer important questions about the detail of<br />
how the reform would work, before the Council and the public can make an informed decision.<br />
Among its questions the Council has asked for more information about how projected future costs<br />
have been calculated, how the partnership with mana whenua will work, how local community<br />
input into decision making will be retained, and how local planning priorities will be protected<br />
under the proposed changes.<br />
The Council’s focus is to make sure communities continue to have secure, safe access to<br />
affordable water services, Mayor Broughton says.<br />
Partnership to better manage <strong>Selwyn</strong> Crown<br />
pastoral leases<br />
A first-of-its-kind agreement has been made as part of efforts to better manage Crown pastoral leases<br />
in <strong>Selwyn</strong>, and protect the native plants and animals that call them home.<br />
The Council and Toitū Te Whenua Land Information New Zealand have signed a memorandum of<br />
understanding (MOU) to share consent information on these unique landscapes.<br />
Toitū Te Whenua is responsible for managing eight Crown pastoral leases in <strong>Selwyn</strong> and these cover<br />
85,000 hectares, including areas of native biodiversity.<br />
To carry out certain activities on the land, leaseholders need to apply for consent to Toitū Te Whenua,<br />
the council, or sometimes both.<br />
Toitū Te Whenua Chief Executive Gaye Searancke says both agencies saw an opportunity to work more<br />
closely together to achieve better outcomes for the land and make the process easier for leaseholders.<br />
“We were already sharing consent information case-by-case. This agreement will take that to the next<br />
level. We will now share information on consents relating to land-use change and development, such<br />
as cultivation, earthworks, tracking and removal of native vegetation. It will also make things simpler for<br />
leaseholders.”<br />
Ms Searancke says the MOU is the first of its kind for Crown pastoral leases in New Zealand.<br />
Council Chief Executive David Ward says the Council<br />
is looking forward to working more closely with Toitū<br />
Te Whenua and the leaseholders to ensure <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s<br />
indigenous fauna and flora is protected and well managed.<br />
“We know indigenous biodiversity in Aotearoa New Zealand<br />
is under threat, and this MOU is a small step in ensuring<br />
our district continues to protect its outstanding and unique<br />
natural environment.<br />
“As a council we are required by law to ensure these<br />
special features can be enjoyed by future generations and<br />
continue to be part of our identity.”<br />

Faces of <strong>Selwyn</strong> – A connection to <strong>Selwyn</strong> and art<br />
Living in <strong>Selwyn</strong> came as a bit of a surprise for Malvern artists, Soon-Lee Spicer and Asako Ridgen.<br />
The pair met through their shared passion for art.<br />
“Asako didn’t know any artists in <strong>Selwyn</strong> and I only knew one – so we started up the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Artists<br />
Collective and I think we’ve got about 50 members now. It’s just this really vibrant, exciting thing,” says<br />
Soon-Lee.<br />
After joining the group in August 2020, Asako says she made lots of friends, often bumping into them at<br />
the fish and chip shop or kindergarten.<br />
“It’s just so easy to connect to people [in <strong>Selwyn</strong>] and wherever you go there’s familiar faces and I love<br />
that,” says Soon-Lee.<br />
Asako is from Japan and Soon-Lee grew up in Malaysia and has lived around New Zealand.<br />
“When I was a little girl living in Malaysia, if you’d ask me, I probably wanted a metropolitan lifestyle of<br />
high rise apartments and lots of glamour, and bright city lights,” says Soon-Lee.<br />
But after studying mathematics and law in Dunedin, where she met her husband, and working as a<br />
lawyer in Auckland, Soon-Lee found herself living in Darfield with her husband and two kids, working as<br />
an artist and art teacher.<br />
“We have a lifestyle property with cows, chickens and sheep, just nowhere near where I thought I’d be,<br />
but what a cool surprise to have ended up here!”<br />
As a teenager, Asako dreamed of being an animator in America because of her love for Disney movies<br />
and drawing. She first came to New Zealand aged 15 as an exchange student studying at Darfield<br />
High School.<br />
“The first time I lay down on the lawn in bare feet, it was just an<br />
amazing experience. I still remember that as my highlight in my<br />
exchange student memory.”<br />
Asako attended art university in Japan for two years but found it<br />
hard, especially the 13-hour art exam.<br />
Instead she moved to Dunedin for three years, before coming<br />
back to Greendale with her Kiwi husband and their two children,<br />
where she continues her art journey in linocut printmaking.<br />
Tune into PlainsFM on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday this<br />
week at 5pm to listen live and hear Soon-Lee Spicer and Asako<br />

PREBBLETON Touch members<br />
are launching into the new<br />
season in spite of alert level 2.<br />
Convener Dave Forrester<br />
said the module’s main focus<br />
had been on contact tracing,<br />
bubbles and sanitising equipment.<br />
“We have had to spend a huge<br />
amount of time, and quite a lot<br />
of money, preparing a plan that<br />
will enable us to run touch at<br />
Prebbleton within the level 2<br />
rules,” Forrester said.<br />
“We have re-arranged our field<br />
locations so that we maintain a<br />
clear bubble for each field, and<br />
have increased the time between<br />
games to enable entry and exit<br />
without contact.”<br />
Prebbleton Touch will start<br />
for open grades next week, on<br />
<strong>October</strong> 14, and junior grades the<br />
following week, on <strong>October</strong> 21.<br />
The module has about 1100<br />
players, ranging from school new<br />
entrants to adults.<br />
This season there is an under<br />
19 grade aimed at bridging the<br />
gap between youth grade and<br />
open grades, while a popular social<br />
grade introduced last season<br />
has 50 per cent more players than<br />
last season.<br />
The men’s open grade is set to<br />
once again feature several Touch<br />

“Many of our young referees<br />

on to selection for national and<br />
international tournaments, and<br />
at the last Touch World Cup in<br />
Malaysia we had four referees<br />
from the Prebbleton module officiating.”<br />

Double ton for Mariu<br />
RISING STAR Rhys Mariu<br />
wasted no time getting into<br />
form for the new country<br />
cricket season as the former<br />
New Zealand under-19 captain<br />
slugged an unbeaten double<br />
ton to power Ohoka to a<br />
commanding win over<br />
Lincoln.<br />
The opener’s stunning<br />
202 from just 128 deliveries<br />
set up a whopping<br />
214-run victory during<br />
Saturday’s opening<br />
round of the premier one<br />
day competition.<br />
Mariu’s assault at Mandeville<br />
included a century’s worth of<br />
boundaries and a half dozen<br />
sixes as Ohoka amassed 368/4<br />
from their allotted 45 overs.<br />
He also combined with Will<br />
Hamilton (68 from 60) to add<br />
138 for the second wicket. In<br />
reply Lincoln could only muster<br />
154 before they were dismissed<br />
in the 39th over.<br />
In other games defending<br />
champion Weedons secured a<br />
hard-fought win over Sefton<br />
while Darfield and Cheviot also<br />
started successfully.<br />
At Weedons Domain the hosts<br />
were limited to 135 as their innings<br />
lasted just 30 overs, but a<br />
run-a-ball 87 from opener Todd<br />
Inness enabled them to post a<br />
defendable total after veteran<br />
Jeff Jones snared four wickets.<br />
Set a seemingly attainable<br />
chase, Sefton’s innings faltered<br />
as Blake Coburn, Charlie Robson<br />
and Sam Clarke took three<br />
wickets apiece before Sefton fell<br />
22 runs short.<br />
Cheviot cruised to a six-wicket<br />
win over Southbrook at<br />
Rangiora’s MainPower<br />
Oval in spite of an unbeaten<br />
century by Canterbury<br />
star Jack Boyle.<br />
Boyle’s 109 lifted<br />
Southbrook to 208/4,<br />
but Cheviot overhauled<br />
Rhys Mariu the target with 20 balls to<br />
spare,thanks to a classy<br />
unbeaten 86 by Archie Redfern.<br />
Darfield defended 195 on their<br />
home track against Oxford-Rangiora<br />
through a solid team effort<br />
to prevail by 40 runs.<br />

Falling trees and branches<br />
caused by last month’s two<br />
wind storms damaged power<br />

Mike Bowie is an ecologist who specialises in entomology<br />
(insects and other invertebrates). Each week he introduces a<br />
new species found in his backyard at Lincoln. His column aims<br />
to raise public awareness of biodiversity, the variety of living<br />
things around us. Check out the full list of invertebrates found at<br />
www.inaturalist.org/projects/backyard-biodiversity-bugs-in-mylincoln-section<br />
Many species of beetles<br />
BEETLES ARE the most<br />
diverse of all insect orders,<br />
constituting almost 40 per<br />
cent of described insects<br />
and about 30 per cent<br />
of all known animal life<br />
forms.<br />
THey are identified by a<br />
pair of hard forewings and<br />
a membranous hindwing.<br />
In New Zealand there<br />
are more than 5220 beetle<br />
species, some less than a<br />
millimetre, through to a<br />
whopping 70mm for the<br />
male giraffe weevil.<br />
One family of beetles<br />
called Chrysomelidae are<br />
known as the leaf beetles.<br />
This family includes<br />
several biocontrol agents<br />
deliberately introduced<br />
into New Zealand to control<br />
invasive weeds such as<br />
alligator weed, ragwort, St<br />
John’s wort and broom.<br />
One native genus in this<br />
family is Eucolaspis which<br />
is commonly found, but<br />
more taxonomic work<br />
is needed to help with<br />
identification. Past species<br />
numbers in this genus<br />
were thought to be as high<br />
as 15. But more recent<br />
publications suggest this<br />
is highly inflated, and that<br />
only three species occur in<br />
mainland New Zealand.<br />
By far the best known of<br />
these is the bronze beetle<br />
(Eucolapsis brunnea), a<br />
medium-sized beetle 4.8-<br />
5mm in length. Its colour<br />
varies from yellow brown<br />
to dark brown and its<br />

upper surface is shiny and<br />
pitted.<br />
It is commonly found<br />
on manuka, particularly<br />
when flowering, but feeds<br />
on many other species<br />
including apples and stone<br />
fruit from early December<br />
to January.<br />
Bronze beetle larvae<br />
are subterranean and<br />
feed on roots but are not<br />
considered as much of<br />
a pest compared to the<br />
adults.<br />

BESIDE RE/MAX ECLIPSE<br />
Local travel business<br />
bucks the trend<br />
For the last 18 months, during the most tumultuous<br />
period that they have ever experienced, local<br />
Helloworld Rolleston business owners Paul and Sue<br />
Robinson have remained committed to their extensive<br />
client base in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> region. When their lease<br />
expired in Rolleston Square, and with no immediate<br />
sign of a managed opening of the border, Paul and Sue<br />
decided to kit out a smart portacom on-site beside<br />
their other business RE/MAX Eclipse at 6 Tennyson<br />
Street Rolleston as a temporary means of business<br />
continuation.<br />
Undoubtedly, the travel industry has had the biggest<br />
effect from Covid with very little income for the past<br />
18 months. However, the team at Helloworld have been<br />
feverishly busy assisting their clients and families return<br />
to New Zealand through a maze of regulatory changes,<br />
collapsed cruise lines, continued flight cancellations,<br />
and re-bookings.<br />
“We simply couldn’t close up, despite the financial<br />
pressure we had as we had a multitude of people we<br />
needed to help with refunds and re-bookings,” says Sue.<br />
“We feel the frustration of our clients. We have had<br />
people in tears after cancellations of once-in-a-lifetime<br />
trips, while others, due to health reasons, will never<br />
experience their dream holiday. And that’s been so sad<br />
to deal with. The saving grace was our decision to open<br />
RE/MAX Eclipse Real Estate, which has subsidised<br />
Helloworld and its fixed costs to keep the store open<br />
and some local staff in employment.”<br />
Paul and Sue are now beginning to feel that the<br />
light at the end of the tunnel is starting to emerge<br />
with the UK, USA and other countries opening up for<br />
vaccinated travellers. There is a growing hope that NZ<br />
will have some form of managed opening as soon as<br />
vaccination levels rise.<br />
“We are here for the long term and simply can’t wait<br />
to see the world re-open, and with the pent-up market<br />
waiting for the gears to change, we get the feeling that<br />
people will want to travel with less delay and enjoy<br />
smaller and more unique experiences,” says Sue. “We<br />
can’t wait to be part of this again.”<br />

SELWYN RURAL LIFE<br />
Majestic creatures to feature<br />
The Ellesmere A&P Association once had<br />
a role in advocating for improved draught<br />
horse bloodlines in the district. In 1935 a<br />
Clydesdale stallion – from Henley, Otago<br />
- was chosen to travel <strong>Selwyn</strong> under the<br />
auspices of the association. This scheme<br />
was short-lived. By 1937 the scheme was<br />
expected to make a loss, in view of the<br />
price of horses and the market trend,<br />
and less than whole-hearted support by<br />
members, so the scheme was discontinued.<br />
Horse and Stallion Parades, organised by<br />
the association and held in late September,<br />
were an opportunity for stud owners to<br />
show off their finest bloodlines. Something<br />
akin to the modern-day reality tv series<br />
‘The Bachelorette’, the annual parade was<br />
held prior to the annual Show, allowing<br />
farmers to compare stallions ‘in the flesh’<br />
before mating season began.<br />
Annual ploughing matches, run by the<br />
association from 1920 to 1927 (ploughing<br />
matches were held prior to 1920 and<br />
organised by an independent Ploughing<br />
Match Committee) were a marvellous<br />
spectacle of working horsepower – teams<br />
of beautifully groomed and ribbon<br />
bedecked Clydesdales with polished<br />
harness and sparkling nickel plate.<br />
The abandonment of the ploughing<br />
matches heralded the decline of the role<br />
of the Clydesdale. Show competitors<br />
dwindled as a result. The Ellesmere<br />
Guardian of May 1944 commented that<br />
the 1943 Ellesmere Show was the first<br />
time on record that Clydesdales were<br />
deleted from the programme and ‘many<br />
expressions of regret were voiced that<br />
such a course has been necessary by the<br />
development of mechanical power in<br />
agricultural pursuits’.<br />
In the intervening years the number of<br />
Clydesdale breeders declined and hence<br />
numbers being exhibited at local shows.<br />
That makes it more exciting having the<br />
Clydesdale Association supporting the<br />
special 150th Ellesmere A&P Association<br />
Show this year.<br />
Ploughing matches were run by<br />
the Ellesmere A&P Association<br />
from 1920-1927<br />

Wednesday <strong>October</strong> 6 <strong>2021</strong> <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> 31<br />
Digits crossed for <strong>Selwyn</strong> show<br />
The Ellesmere A & P Committee has its<br />
fingers firmly crossed that the Government<br />
will lift the Level 2 COVID restrictions<br />
in time to allow for the public to attend<br />
the Show’s 150th anniversary at this year’s<br />
‘<strong>Selwyn</strong> Spring Show’ under Level 1. A<br />
decision will be made by the Committee in<br />
early <strong>October</strong> as to what level the <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
Spring Show will run at. This could result<br />
in a Level 2 set Show even if a late change<br />
to Level 1 occurs before 16 <strong>October</strong>. This<br />
special show setting will<br />
over-ride any subsequent<br />
Government determined<br />
late Level 1 changes. If<br />
we remain at Level 2, or<br />
there is a late Government<br />
change to Level 1 just<br />
before the show, then the<br />
show will only be open to<br />
exhibitors with no public<br />
and under tightly managed<br />
conditions. This is because<br />
there simply would not be<br />
enough time to facilitate<br />
the requirements to cater<br />
for an open public event.<br />
Everyone is hoping though<br />
that we can celebrate<br />
under Level 1 with our<br />
gates open to all. The<br />
Association would like to<br />
thank everyone for their<br />
continued support through<br />
these uncertain times and<br />
acknowledges those who<br />
The oldest trophy held by<br />
the Association was first<br />
presented in 1876<br />
to John McKellar’s<br />
Prince Royal.<br />
have entered all the classes with pleasingly<br />
high numbers.<br />
If this happens then everyone will be<br />
delighted to see the mighty Clydesdales<br />
back. Arguably the most majestic of all the<br />
farmed animals and the perennial Show<br />
favourite, the Clydesdale played an integral<br />
role in the development of farming in<br />
Ellesmere. This role will be celebrated at<br />
this year’s show, where the Clydesdales<br />
will be competing for two 150th Show<br />
medallions – Supreme Clydesdale and Best<br />
Clydesdale Handler.<br />
The oldest silverware still<br />
retained by the Association<br />
is an ornate cup first<br />
presented in 1876 to John<br />
McKellar’s ‘Prince Royal’ for<br />
the Ellesmere Agricultural<br />
Association’s Publican’s<br />
Cup Best Draught Entire<br />
travelling the District. John<br />
McKellar was Scottish<br />
born, residing firstly in<br />
Otago upon arrival in New<br />
Zealand, before moving to<br />
Ellesmere. He originally<br />
farmed in Doyleston and<br />
later farmed Oak Farm in<br />
Southbridge until retiring<br />
into Southbridge in 19<strong>06</strong>.<br />
He was an exhibitor and<br />
prize winner at the first<br />
Ellesmere Show. John was<br />
on the A&P Committee<br />
from 1879-1892 and was<br />
Vice President in 1889.<br />
The 1912 Christchurch Press obituary for<br />
Mr McKellar notes ‘he was well respected<br />
in the stud draught horse business, owning<br />
a number of high-class horses at different<br />
times, several of which were recognised as<br />
the best in Canterbury in their day.<br />
In 1927 the trustees of his estate<br />
presented the Association a mounted<br />
collection of medals won by his horses in<br />
show competition’.<br />
Entries for the Clydesdale sections this<br />
year are looking very robust so let’s hope<br />
the Government gives the South Island<br />
the green light just in time to see these<br />
wonderful horses back in the show ring.<br />

Foul water more<br />

FOOD<br />
Many projects are underway in<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> to protect and improve<br />
freshwater, including attempts<br />
to limit damaging sediment and<br />
stormwater.<br />
Sediment is fine particles of<br />
soil that when it rains, flows<br />
through stormwater drains or<br />
down hillsides, into streams<br />
and rivers. It’s harmful to many<br />
aquatic species, including kōwaro<br />
(Canterbury mudfish), tuna (eel)<br />
and pātiki (flounder).<br />
“Stopping sediment from<br />
entering waterways is crucial, as<br />
sediment smothers fish habitat, makes it<br />
hard for them to see their food, and once<br />
it’s in the waterway, is extremely difficult to<br />
remove,” <strong>Selwyn</strong> Waihora Zone Delivery<br />
Lead Gill Jenkins said.<br />
Earthworks near waterways and land<br />
developments pose some of the biggest<br />
risks when it comes to sediment in<br />
In <strong>Selwyn</strong> Waihora zone waterways.<br />
Knowingly allowing sediment to runoff<br />
into waterways can sometimes result in<br />
fines for those responsible.<br />
During a rain was the best time to see<br />
where sediment was coming from both<br />
in urban and rural areas, Jenkins said.<br />
Anyone seeing sediment or erosion<br />
issues during heavy rains, or at building/<br />
construction sites, could call the council’s<br />

GARDENING 33<br />
Fill your garden with delicious treats<br />
• By Henri Ham<br />
OCTOBER IS probably one of<br />
the busiest months in the garden<br />
– the jobs are endless but it’s also<br />
a fun time to fill up your garden<br />
with delicious treats such as<br />
cucumbers, basil, tomatoes and<br />
pops of colour.<br />
General tidy up:<br />
• Mulch your gardens to retain<br />
moisture and suppress weed<br />
growth<br />
• Deadhead flowers to<br />
encourage more growth<br />
• Clean up dead leaves and<br />
twigs as they may be harbouring<br />
disease<br />
• Remove moss from paths and<br />
driveways<br />
• Keep on top of your weeds<br />
• Clean your tools – your<br />
garden tools will be getting a<br />
workout this season. Give them a<br />
good clean and apply some olive<br />
oil to prevent rust.<br />
• Feed strawberries and<br />
passionfruit<br />
Cucumbers, capsicums, chillies,<br />
pumpkins, tomatoes and zucchini<br />
– it’s their time to shine. If you’re<br />
new to gardening or thinking of<br />
giving it a go – now is the perfect<br />
time to dig in and get started.<br />
If you’re still experiencing cold<br />
snaps and frost in your area, we<br />
recommend holding off planting<br />
your tomatoes until the weather<br />
warms up.<br />
SUCCULENT: It’s now time to get your cucumber plants in the garden, you will be rewarded when it comes time to<br />
make those summer salads. Russian tarragon is a must-have in any garden, it has a strong anise flavour.<br />
Kumara, a Kiwi favourite<br />
wouldn’t you say? If you’re<br />
planting kumara this year, make<br />
sure your soil isn’t too acidic.<br />
Kumara prefers soil with a pH<br />
level of around 6.0 to 6.5 – to get<br />
the best of your crop make sure<br />
that the base of your soil is solid<br />
as this will prevent the roots from<br />
growing all over the place and<br />
encourage more tubers.<br />
Basil and russian tarragon are<br />
a must-have in any herb garden.<br />
Basil works well planted amongst<br />
your tomatoes to deter any bugs,<br />
apparently, it intensifies the taste<br />
of the tomato too.<br />
Russian tarragon which is<br />
actually part of the lettuce family<br />
has quite a strong anise flavour,<br />
it works well with roasts and as a<br />
garnish.<br />
Salad planting, keep planting<br />
your lettuce, spring onions so that<br />
you have plenty in the warmer<br />
months.<br />
If you’re after a berry-filled<br />
summer, start planting your<br />
raspberry, blueberry and<br />
blackberry bushes now.<br />
Just remember that slugs are<br />
still about, try using a bait to<br />
prevent these little guys from<br />
eating all your hard work.<br />
Add some colour to your<br />
garden. Cosmos, dahlias,<br />
gazanias, livingstone daisies and<br />
petunias are popular this time<br />
of year – these varieties are great<br />
for border, bedding and hanging<br />
baskets which is great for those<br />
that have smaller gardens. Plant<br />
some flowers around your vege<br />
garden too to encourage those<br />
little pollinators.<br />
It’s also time to spray your roses<br />
to prevent any fungal disease, it’s<br />
also a good time to feed them as<br />
they’ll be growing like crazy at the<br />
moment.<br />
Your lawns will be growing<br />
at a rapid rate this month, keep<br />
them looking lush by occasionally<br />
applying lawn fertiliser is a blend<br />
of nutrients that your lawn will<br />
love, the high levels of nitrogen<br />
will encourage thick, healthy<br />
growth and prevent disease.<br />
Keep an eye out for broadleaf<br />
– if you spot some make sure to<br />
spray them with weedkiller so<br />
that they don’t take over your<br />
hard work and resow any patchy<br />
areas<br />
Plant whatever takes your fancy.<br />
If you’re a beginner gardener<br />
there’s never been a better month<br />
to start experimenting.<br />
Garden<br />
In the<br />
with intelligro<br />
Growing veggies is a<br />
great way to get the<br />
whole family involved<br />
in gardening. It is very<br />
rewarding eating meals<br />
with veggies you have<br />
grown yourself.<br />
The other bonus of<br />
growing your own<br />
vegetables is that you<br />
can grow what you what,<br />
you know what they are<br />
growing in, and have<br />
confidence in knowing<br />
they are free from nasty<br />
sprays.<br />
What you’ll need...<br />
• Veggie Garden Mix<br />
• Veggie seedlings<br />
• Something to plant in<br />
– we love the Vegepods<br />
and the Birdie’s Garden Beds!<br />
Where to Start...<br />
Once you have chosen where and what you are<br />
planting in, grab your Veggie Mix and fill the area.<br />
If you have an established garden that needs<br />
rejuvenating, then mix through some organic compost<br />
and sheep pellets or veggie mix to give it the boost.<br />
Stagger your planting. For example, if you plant<br />
6 lettuces at once, they will all be ready at the same<br />
time. Stagger the planting a week or two apart so you<br />
have an ongoing supply through the season.<br />
Key tips for a bumper crop<br />
• Keep the plants pest, disease and weed-free<br />
• Establish a good watering routine. Plants will bolt to seed<br />
if they feel that they are under stress from lack of watering<br />
• Make sure they have enough nutrients to sustain healthy<br />
growth<br />

Nissan Navara comes to the rescue<br />
MY WIFE AND I have called it<br />
the week from hell.<br />
Firstly, our power went off<br />
thanks to a corroded wire from<br />
the street. While we thought we<br />
were well advanced in terms of<br />
preparedness – generator, gas<br />
cooker, torches and plenty of<br />
batteries – for 24 hours we struggled<br />
without electricity with an<br />
overnight low of a miserable -5<br />
deg C.<br />
Secondly, the fluctuating power<br />
surge as the wire arced against the<br />
house, spelt the end of one of our<br />
freezers, it was full of frozen food,<br />
quickly defrosting.<br />
Thankfully, and at short notice,<br />
we had a rental delivered until the<br />
time we could buy a new freezer<br />
and have it installed so no food<br />
was lost.<br />
That’s where Nissan’s new<br />
Navara ute comes in. We bought<br />
a new freezer and I used the ute<br />
to pick it up from the collection<br />
depot, I also used the vehicle<br />
to deliver the old freezer to the<br />
Parkhouse Rd recycling centre<br />
along with a dryer that had long<br />
been sitting in the garage unused<br />
and was well past its used by date.<br />
That’s where today’s double<br />
cab ute comes in, it’s not only the<br />
working vehicle with substantial<br />
off-road, four-wheel-drive ability,<br />
it’s the sedate and versatile carryall<br />
that will also whisk families to<br />
all those environments we travel<br />
to on a daily basis and, might I<br />
add, in comfort.<br />
Nissan has just released a new<br />
Navara, well, it’s a new shape with<br />
a major overhaul inside, but the<br />
mechanicals are largely a carryover.<br />
That’s fine, the 2.3-litre<br />
four-cylinder diesel engine is a<br />
cracker in terms of sophistication,<br />
so much so that Nissan must<br />
have the other ute manufacturers<br />
thinking hard about refinement.<br />
The Navara also has a complex<br />
rear suspension; gone are the<br />
old leaf springs that are mostly<br />
traditional with today’s pick-ups,<br />
the Navara has a coil spring,<br />
multiple-link set-up that locates<br />
the live rear axle. It eliminates a<br />
lot of the jiggle you get with utes<br />
over uneven surfaces.<br />
At the other end the twinturbocharged<br />
diesel is rated by<br />
Nissan at 140kW and 450Nm. The<br />
origins of this engine hark back to<br />
Nissan’s early alliance with Renault<br />
and that collaboration shows,<br />
there are high power outputs and<br />
a smoothness that’s hard to match.<br />
There’s no lumpy diesel throb here,<br />
it works away in a soft, silent manner<br />
and is very responsive. Not<br />
only do the power outputs impress<br />
through its 2298cc displacement,<br />
it is also a fuel miser.<br />
Nissan claims a 7.6-litre per<br />
100km combined cycle average.<br />
My time with the evaluation<br />
vehicle required a lot of inner-city<br />
running around incorporating<br />
those tasks I mentioned in my<br />
FOUR-WHEEL-DRIVE: Genuine off-road ability.<br />
NISSAN NAVARA ST-X: Home appliances are easily catered for on the ute’s deck..<br />
introduction. That being the<br />
case, I wasn’t expecting to come<br />
close to Nissan’s claims, but I<br />
did return it to the dealership<br />
with 9l/100km showing on the<br />
readout. On my long highway<br />
run to Hororata and Dunsandel,<br />
a steady 100km/h cruise had the<br />
engine sipping fuel at the rate of<br />
6l/100km instantaneously, the<br />
rev counter pointing to a lazy<br />
1750rpm in seventh gear.<br />
Yes, the ST-X has an automatic<br />
seven-speeder and it, too, is one<br />
of relative smoothness, shifts are<br />
quick and can be encouraged<br />
through a sequential shifting system<br />
at the main gearshift lever.<br />
Another interesting driveline<br />
function is the four-mode<br />
drive-type selector, it ranges<br />
from standard to sport, tow and<br />
off-road, I largely left it in normal<br />
mode, but for those who like to<br />
explore maximum efficiencies<br />
those modes are there to help.<br />
Elsewhere, the Navara is also<br />
very car-like to drive, sure at over<br />
5.2m it is a big vehicle and a trial<br />
to fit into a standard city metered<br />
car park, but it has a purpose<br />
and it’s unashamedly suited for<br />
that. On the deck you can load<br />
the traditional one-tonne, and it<br />
is rated with a 3500kg tow figure<br />
(braked).<br />
In terms of transportation it<br />
will also carry five adults, the rear<br />
seats don’t have a lot of rake but<br />
• Price – Nissan Navara ST-<br />
X, $57,490<br />
• Dimensions – Length,<br />
5255mm; width, 1850mm;<br />
height, 1815mm<br />
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,<br />
four-wheel-drive,<br />
2298cc, 140kW, 450Nm,<br />
seven-speed automatic<br />
• Performance – 0-100km/h,<br />
9.4sec<br />
• Fuel usage – 7.6l/100km<br />
they are easily as comfortable as<br />
any of the competition.<br />
Up front there are heated seats<br />
(full leather trim), and as much<br />
technology as you could expect<br />
from a modern ute. Satellite navigation<br />
is fitted in ST-X models<br />
along with cruise control and full<br />
electrics.<br />
On the highway the Navara<br />
moves quietly and with much<br />
dignity. In terms of handling it<br />
enters a corner with solid turn-in<br />
and little transition of weight. The<br />
rear is far from lively and even<br />
though part of my highway evaluation<br />
was on wet roads, I never<br />
thought the suspension would<br />
let me down in terms of keeping<br />
the tyres gripping well the road<br />
surface.<br />
Interestingly, the Navara rides<br />
on 255/60 x 18in Toyo tyres and<br />
they must be commended for<br />
their quiet operating manner and<br />
effective feedback to the driver.<br />
Nissan has a comprehensive<br />
Navara line-up – single-cab, king<br />
cab and double cab – with two<br />
and four-wheel-drive drivelines<br />
and manual and automatic transmission<br />
options.<br />
The range starts from $41,990<br />
and ends at $67,990 for the flashy<br />
Pro 4X. I drove that model prior<br />
to picking up the ST-X and it<br />
made an immediate impression<br />
on me for its body kit and chunky<br />
tyres, yet, it too, drives in the<br />
civilised manner that this series<br />
of Navara can take enormous<br />
credit for.<br />
The ST-X on the other hand<br />
doesn’t miss out on much to the<br />
Pro 4X, but it is not so in-yourface<br />
in terms of style. That being<br />
the case, I’d easily settle for the<br />
base to mid-grade models.<br />
The new Navara comes at an<br />
opportune time. The Government<br />
tax on utes is set for January<br />
and buyers are flocking to them<br />
to save the extra cost that is expected<br />
to be somewhere between<br />
$2780-$5175.<br />
Nissan assures me supply is<br />
constant and interest in the newcomer<br />
is high. I can see why, it<br />
certainly sits as one of the market<br />
leaders.<br />
I know it certainly arrived in<br />
my driveway at an opportune<br />
time. My wife and I are so<br />
grateful.<br />

From the beat<br />
to the ward<br />
After 18 years in the New Zealand<br />
Police Force, Ally Ealam has embarked<br />
on a whole new career.<br />
The former frontline senior sergeant recently graduated from<br />
Ara Institute of Canterbury with a New Zealand Diploma in Enrolled Nursing<br />
and is now working in aged care in Rangiora where she grew up.<br />
Ally says she’d “seen it all” as a police officer. “I attended some pretty horrific<br />
jobs over the years. Some of them I’ll never forget, but those experiences<br />
made me the person I am today.”<br />
Although Ally decided to step away from enforcement, she wanted to do<br />
something that drew upon her many years of work experience and her past<br />
involvement in St John Ambulance. Enrolled nursing fit the bill perfectly.<br />
“I’d heard Ara was a fantastic place to learn. I loved the whole learning<br />
environment and the buzz of learning - it reminded me of my Police College<br />
days.”<br />
During her studies, Ally had clinical placements in a variety of health<br />
settings. “I got to watch two emergency caesarean sections,” she says. “That<br />
was amazing - I cried under my facemask!”<br />
When she was in the Police, Ally loved working with the elderly. Now that<br />
she’s gained her nursing diploma, she’s thrilled to be working with seniors<br />
again – this time as an enrolled nurse at Bainswood on Victoria in Rangiora.<br />
“Ara equipped me with the skills and confidence to work with our elderly<br />
and I’m really enjoying it. I’m looking after and connecting with the residents<br />
and their families, getting experience in assessing and dressing wounds,<br />
managing medication, working with our local GPs and palliative care nurses<br />
and so much more. I feel absolutely privileged to be able to do what I do.”<br />
“<br />
There’s definitely a place<br />
for women in engineering.<br />
”<br />
Mechanical engineer<br />
Steph Crossan.<br />
Digger driver becomes<br />
design engineer<br />
Not so long ago, Steph Crosson<br />
(Ngāti Whātua) was working in the civil<br />
works industry, driving a digger all day.<br />
That was until she decided she wanted<br />
something more out of life.<br />
“<br />
I loved the whole learning<br />
experience and the buzz of<br />
learning.<br />
”<br />
Enrolled nurse<br />
Ally Ealam.<br />
“I had this overwhelming feeling that it wasn’t enough,” she says.<br />
Her job involved working around engineers and she started to become<br />
interested in what they were doing and why. “I kinda just wanted to be<br />
part of that.” So, she took the “daunting” step of enrolling in a mechanical<br />
engineering degree at Ara.<br />
Three years later and instead of driving a digger, Steph has the skills to<br />
design one. “I could design the hydraulic systems, the components within it<br />
and even the things the diggers are building.”<br />
Before coming to Ara, Steph’s last experience of education was at high<br />
school in Timaru. She never thought she’d come back to study, but once she<br />
took the plunge, she thrived in Ara’s hands-on learning environment.<br />
“Ara was great – the whole way through. I wouldn’t study anywhere else.<br />
The class sizes were perfect to me because you got to know everyone, and<br />
everybody helped each other out. The facilities were awesome, and the<br />
tutors were great, really supportive.”<br />
Steph says being a woman in engineering has been no problem. “There’s<br />
definitely a place for women in engineering because we bring a new<br />
perspective to problem solving and creativity. I never felt excluded at Ara – it<br />
was a really supportive learning space and so much fun.”<br />
International consultancy company Beca offered Steph a job as she neared<br />
the completion of her studies and she says she couldn’t have asked for a<br />
better end to her degree.<br />
“I just really want to encourage anyone – it doesn’t matter your age or your<br />
background – that study is a viable option. Life’s too short to muck around.<br />
Just own your life and make it happen. Learn more, know more, do more.”

Building skills for a<br />
brighter future<br />
Tony Siva is proudly Samoan and<br />
even prouder since he took a trades<br />
course at Ara and got himself an<br />
apprenticeship to become a builder.<br />
Why did you choose to learn a trade?<br />
To build a better future for my family by becoming a qualified builder. Also,<br />
the course was free through Ara’s Pacific Trades Training scheme.<br />
What was your experience at Ara like?<br />
I thought it would be awkward because of my age, being surrounded by<br />
kids who just finished school. But my tutors were great – they made learning<br />
relevant and fun – and I was encouraged all the way.<br />
What did you enjoy most about your course?<br />
As well as learning how to build a house and things like retaining walls, decks<br />
and fences, we learned how to interpret our culture through woodwork, so I<br />
also made a To’oto’o (Samoan chief’s staff).<br />
What kind of support did you receive through<br />
Pacific Trades Training?<br />
There’s lots of care and support provided - like bus money, petrol vouchers,<br />
food vouchers, counsellors and advisors. And Ara’s<br />
Pacific Island Students Association offers a lot too.<br />
What are you doing now?<br />
I’m doing my apprenticeship at Home NZ Construction.<br />
What are your plans for the future?<br />
I want to buy or build my own house and hopefully go back to Samoa to help<br />
rebuild my village.<br />
What advice would you give to anyone contemplating study?<br />
It’s never too late to study or change your career path. If you work hard and<br />
put the time and effort into a trade, I guarantee you’ll reap the benefits.<br />
“<br />
It’s never too late<br />
to study or change<br />
your career path.<br />

Support at the ready<br />
for all learners<br />
Ara’s dedicated Disability Services<br />
team has a simple objective: equity<br />
in education.<br />
“We aim to level the playing field to allow students with impairments to have<br />
equitable access to their chosen course and future path,” explains Ara disability<br />
advisor, Rose Edgar.<br />
Ara can help support students with almost any impairment or long-term medical<br />
condition including dyslexia, epilepsy, autism spectrum conditions, chronic<br />
fatigue, mental health difficulties (e.g. depression), traumatic brain injury, or<br />
hearing, visual and physical impairments such as spina bifida and paralysis.<br />
The team works with students to find supports or adjustments that will help<br />
reduce any barriers they face due to disabilities or health conditions. “That<br />
might be extra time for exams, finding technology which supports their learning,<br />
communicating with tutors about changes that need to be made during classes,<br />
or connecting students with other support services in and around Ara,” says<br />
student advisor, Kirstie McHale. “Once a student signs up with us, we work<br />
with them to create an individualised access plan which outlines the targeted<br />
support in place for them.”<br />
Kirstie adds that for some students, reader/writer assistance in an exam can be<br />
the difference between passing and failing. “Timed exams can be a real barrier<br />
for students with learning difficulties that affect their reading or writing. Having<br />
a support person to read questions aloud,<br />
or write down verbal answers, allows students to show what they know in an<br />
exam situation more accurately.”<br />
Support is available across all Ara campuses and Rose encourages individuals<br />
to contact Disability Services as soon as they’re thinking about studying at Ara.<br />
“We understand that people are sometimes apprehensive about asking for help.<br />
Often people attach a stigma to the word disability and won’t seek the help<br />
they’re entitled to, but we encourage anyone who could benefit from our help to<br />
get in touch. We’re here to support you in the best way we can. The smartest thing<br />
you can do for your study is to make use of all the support available to you.”<br />

Unassuming Quality!<br />
If you’re seeking style with substance, then look no<br />
further. This home’s crisp lines and interconnected<br />
living offer contemporary ambience with a<br />
distinctive personality.<br />
The timeless configuration cleverly separates<br />
public and private spaces, ensuring family harmony<br />
no matter your age or stage. Living is generous,<br />
with both open plan and separate options, while a<br />
separate study or snug offers further flexibility. The<br />
remainder of the floorplan includes four double<br />
bedrooms, master with ensuite and sought-after<br />
separate storage loaded laundry and double<br />
garaging.<br />
The living areas are complemented by a<br />
sophisticated Marantz home entertainment system<br />
and the home is heated via a ducted system<br />
keeping you cosy in winter but given the home’s sunsaturated<br />
orientation, you’ll hardly need to use it.<br />
Busy professionals will appreciate low maintenance<br />
construction and garden with ample space for<br />
entertaining friends and family. The indoor-outdoor<br />
flow to the west facing deck houses an inbuilt BBQ<br />
and fridge. Along with this, and the generous kitchen<br />
and walk-in scullery you will surely enjoy some<br />
mouth-watering meals.<br />
Located opposite a park, complete with basketball<br />
court and playground, allows plenty of outdoor<br />
activities for family fun without the upkeep a large<br />
section requires.<br />
Our vendors have secured another alternative for<br />
their family and are keen to move to the next phase<br />
of their lives.<br />

Make a list<br />
There are lots of decisions to be made when building<br />
a new home. Most need to be made before plans are<br />
lodged for consent and construction gets underway.<br />
Housing companies usually guide their clients through<br />
this process.<br />
Whether working with a housing company or<br />
calling on the assistance of an architect or architectural<br />
draftsperson there will be a lot of decisions. The process<br />
will be easier for all concerned, if you have done your<br />
homework first.<br />
Carry out your own research on building trends and<br />
choices. This will help you get a feel for what is available.<br />
Before deciding on your builder, you will want to find<br />
out whether the company will require you to choose<br />
from their existing library of house designs and a set<br />
range of features and fittings, or whether you will have<br />
the freedom to have a more bespoke plan and to choose<br />
any feature available on the market.<br />
As you research, keep records of what you might like<br />
to have in your own home. Initially, you will be idea<br />
gathering. Take photos of aspects within house designs<br />
which appeal to you along with the fittings you like.<br />
List down the key points you would like in your<br />
home:<br />
• number of bedrooms, living areas and bathrooms;<br />
• size of garage e.g. double or triple;<br />
• open plan living, or one or more separated living<br />
spaces;<br />
• kitchen dynamics including whether a pantry or<br />
scullery is a must;<br />
• wardrobes – size and type e.g. walk-in robe in master<br />
bedroom;<br />
• office or study nook needs;<br />
• laundry separate or in the garage;<br />
• cladding and roofing types;<br />
• storage facilities within the home including<br />
cupboards, storerooms and attic trusses;<br />
• type of heating and whether under floor<br />
heating, a ducted system or a log fire;<br />
• double or thermal low-emissivity windows;<br />
• spaciousness of entryway; and<br />
• indoor/outdoor flow.<br />
Think of each room in turn and consider<br />
your family requirements, noting down<br />
features you definitely want.<br />
Consider also fittings such as:<br />
• the exterior doors;<br />
• style of door and handles;<br />
• window catches;<br />
• kitchen joinery and handles;<br />
• bench top options;<br />
• positioning of sink, oven, microwave, dishwasher and<br />
refrigerator within the kitchen;<br />
• bathroom fittings such as the type of vanity, shower<br />
and bath;<br />
• size of windows and how to capitalise on the sun;<br />
• positioning of rooms to allow family interaction and<br />
also quiet areas;<br />
• whether to have a deck or patio; and<br />
• type of seal for your driveway and paths.<br />
Before sitting down with the designer, ensure you<br />
have completed your research and have a clear idea<br />
of what you want, remembering your final choices<br />
will be influenced by your budget, size of section, and<br />
product availability. There may also be design limitations<br />
influenced by building regulations and construction<br />
capabilities.<br />
Researching and making a list will help prepare you<br />
for the many decisions you will need to make in a short<br />
space of time.<br />
Research building trends & choices.<br />

REAA - Understanding real estate jargon<br />
Every industry is full of jargon and<br />
buzzwords that make no sense to anyone<br />
who’s not part of the club. Real estate is<br />
no different, which means it can be hard<br />
to get up to speed. Here’s a handy guide<br />
to some of the most common terms<br />
you’ll come across when buying or selling<br />
property.<br />
Agency agreement: If you are using<br />
a licensed real estate agent to sell your<br />
property, you’ll need to sign one of these<br />
agreements - it sets out what the agent will<br />
do and what they will be paid. Remember<br />
you can negotiate the conditions, such as<br />
who pays for marketing and how much<br />
the commission is. Make sure you get<br />
legal advice before you sign, because it’s a<br />
binding document.<br />
BEO or BBO: This stands for ‘Buyer<br />
Enquiry Over’ or ‘Buyer Budget Over’,<br />
which means that price listed on the<br />
advertisement indicates the minimum that<br />
the seller will accept. The seller actually<br />
needs to give serious consideration to any<br />
offer over the BEO, so this figure needs to<br />
be selected carefully.<br />
Deadline Sale or Deadline Private<br />
Treaty: In this kind of sale, a property<br />
is marketed for a set period (with an<br />
advertised end date). The seller can<br />
choose to accept an offer at any stage<br />
during the listing period though it may be<br />
stated in the advertising that ‘no offer will<br />
be accepted prior’. Check the fine print.<br />
LIM: This stands for Land Information<br />
Memorandum, which contains everything<br />
that the local council knows about the<br />
property, such as any issues with drainage<br />
and plumbing, erosion or permits. It will<br />
help you identify if any additions haven’t<br />
got the right consent. A LIM will also<br />
record any unpaid rates.<br />
Sale and purchase agreement: This<br />
is a legally binding contract between the buyer and seller for the purchase/<br />
sale of a property. It provides certainty<br />
to both parties and it sets out in writing<br />
all the agreed terms and conditions. It’s<br />
essential to get legal advice before you<br />
sign an agreement – and that you read<br />
and understand what it means.<br />
Settlement: This is the end goal in a<br />
property transaction, when the sale and<br />
purchase is completed by the exchange of<br />
property and payment. Settlement occurs<br />
when the seller receives the money for the<br />
sale – the buyer will not receive the keys<br />
until this happens.<br />
RV: This stands for ‘Rateable Value’<br />
– this is a value used to calculate local<br />
body rates. It should not be assumed to<br />
be a market value for a property when<br />
it is for sale as the rating valuation may<br />
be a number of years old. It is also not<br />
responsive to local market fluctuations<br />
and may not reflect any recent renovations<br />
to a property. This was formerly known as<br />
‘Government Value’, or GV.<br />
Tender: If a property is for sale by<br />
tender, prospective buyers must submit<br />
confidential written offers by a set date.<br />
Usually there is no minimum price, but<br />
properties are often listed with a BEO or<br />
BBO price. The seller can then choose<br />
the offer that is most acceptable to them,<br />
based on the price and any attached<br />
conditions. The most attractive tender is<br />
likely to be one that combines a good price<br />
with few conditions. Sellers are allowed<br />
to negotiate with any one or more of the<br />
tenderers received after tenders close.<br />

Building a warm, energy<br />
efficient healthy home<br />
Six essentials to think about when you are building a new home<br />
1. Site position A home built with a<br />
northerly aspect to make use of the sun<br />
and protected from prevailing winds will<br />
be warmer and more efficient. If possible<br />
check your building site at different times<br />
of the day to see where and how the sun<br />
hits the property as well as looking out for<br />
any low lying areas.<br />
2. Sun According to energywise. good use of the available energy efficient<br />

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections<br />
in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District<br />
What build requirements are there?<br />
Explore what a new stage will look like.<br />
Buying in a subdivision<br />
Section availability is mostly in new<br />
housing estates and the district generally<br />
has a number to choose from, especially in<br />
Rolleston and Lincoln.<br />
Factors influencing section choice will be:<br />
the distance from your workplace, ease of<br />
travelling, services available, size and price<br />
of available sections, and where you would<br />
like to live.<br />
Ground conditions may also be a<br />
consideration. In <strong>Selwyn</strong>, the land<br />
is generally good for building with<br />
only a standard 364 foundation often<br />
required. Many people are choosing a<br />
RibRaft foundation as it offers seismic<br />
strengthening and may work out more<br />
economical.<br />
A factor which should be high on your<br />
list should be the covenants a developer has<br />
in place and whether these will present any<br />
issues for you.<br />
Any new housing subdivision is likely<br />
to have covenants stipulating what can<br />
and cannot be constructed, in terms of<br />
minimum and maximum house size on<br />
a given section, and aesthetic features<br />
like the roof pitch, acceptable claddings,<br />
landscaping and what is permitted on view<br />
from the street.<br />
The covenants will be supplied with the<br />
Purchase and Sale Agreement. Read these,<br />
asking your lawyer for advice and checking<br />
with your builder to ensure these can be<br />
met before signing on the dotted line.<br />
Before finalising your house plan<br />
with your builder and building consent<br />
application is lodged with Council, send<br />
this and a landscape plan to the developer<br />
for approval. This will avoid costly changes<br />
or problems down the line. There may<br />
be a charge associated with Developer’s<br />
Approval or a refundable bond may be<br />
incurred. This process is put in place to<br />
protect the overall look and integrity of<br />
the housing estate and ensure any damage<br />
incurred during construction is put right.<br />
Certain covenants may seem annoying<br />
however, they protect the environment you<br />
are buying into and can be accommodated<br />
with good design.<br />
The standard of builds in respective<br />
subdivisions may vary from smaller<br />
economic housing to larger sections and<br />
homes. There may also be variations in<br />
the features in each subdivision such as<br />
the street width, number of children’s play<br />
areas, walkways and beautification.<br />
Where you are purchasing off a plan for<br />
a section in a new stage of a subdivision,<br />
ask questions so you appreciate what the<br />
area will ultimately look like. Doing your<br />
homework will help give you surety that<br />
what is proposed will happen. This includes<br />
when title is due, something which can be<br />
slowed by Council consent requirements or<br />
the weather delaying earthworks.<br />
Closeness to schools, shops and public<br />
transport may also be considerations,<br />
especially if you want your children to have<br />
independence by walk to school, a park<br />
or sporting activities. Consider how each<br />
subdivision might suit your lifestyle.<br />
Consider closeness to facilities.<br />

Tips for first home buyers<br />
Struggling to get on the property ladder<br />
and feeling fed up? You’re not alone. Real<br />
Estate Authority (REA) research has found<br />
that more than half of all first home buyers<br />
– even the ones who successfully buy a<br />
property – find the process stressful and<br />
overwhelming.<br />
“We know it’s hard for people when<br />
they’re trying to buy their first home – it’s a<br />
complex legal process and a huge financial<br />
deal. We want to empower them to feel<br />
more confident and in control when they’re<br />
making such a big decision.”<br />
1. SORT OUT YOUR FINANCES<br />
You’ll already know that saving is a big<br />
part of getting ready to buy, but do you<br />
know what else you need to do?<br />
Getting financial advice from a qualified<br />
advisor could be a useful step in your<br />
planning. Owning a property means<br />
you’re responsible for all the maintenance<br />
and repairs – and for paying rates and<br />
insurance. Owning an apartment may also<br />
mean you need to pay body corporate fees.<br />
These costs can be a bit of a shock to the<br />
system if you’ve rented for a long time.<br />
“It’s also a good idea to get conditional<br />
pre-approved finance arranged so you can<br />
move quickly when you spot a property<br />
you really like. Having conditional preapproval<br />
lets you know the price range you<br />
can buy in and it shows agents and sellers<br />
that you’re a serious buyer. It’s also crucial<br />
if you’re planning to bid on a property at<br />
auction.”<br />
Don’t forget to explore ways that<br />
you might be able to get help from the<br />
Government. There are various forms of<br />
This Week’s<br />
assistance available if you’re a KiwiSaver<br />
member, buying in certain areas, want<br />
to buy a former Housing New Zealand<br />
property or are Māori and want to live on<br />
your ancestral land.<br />
2. NEEDS VS WANTS<br />
Many first home buyers discover a big<br />
gap between what they’d like to buy and<br />
what they can afford when they first start<br />
looking.<br />
“Sit down and write a tight list of what<br />
your absolute must-haves are, then work<br />
out what you’re willing to compromise on”.<br />
If you’re thinking about pets and<br />
children arriving in the short-to-medium<br />
term, think about how these will change<br />
your needs. Will you need to be near to<br />
childcare or schools? Will you need a<br />
fenced property?<br />
“If you’re the sort of person who likes a<br />
good list, we’ve got a useful ‘researching the<br />
property’ checklist on settled.govt.nz that<br />
will help you keep track of all the questions<br />
to ask about a property. This is especially<br />
useful if you’re looking at more than one<br />
property at a time.”<br />
3. DO YOUR HOMEWORK<br />
Don’t let your desperation to find<br />
somewhere blind you to a property’s faults.<br />
“Do as much research as you can about<br />
a property,” that means getting a lawyer<br />
on board to make sure all the paperwork<br />
is in order and to help you understand if<br />
there are any issues. We also recommend<br />
getting a qualified building inspector who<br />
has professional indemnity insurance to<br />
prepare a comprehensive report on the<br />
property.”<br />
If you’re worried about paying for this<br />
kind of report before you make an offer<br />
(due to a lack of time or funds), you can<br />
make them a condition of your offer.<br />
Remember that paying for good advice is<br />
an investment that will buy you more peace<br />
of mind than a quick once-over by a mate.<br />
4. RECOGNISE YOUR LIMITS<br />
Buying a ‘doer-upper’ is a Kiwi tradition,<br />
especially for first-home buyers, but we’re<br />
not all blessed with the right skills. Factor<br />
this in before you make an offer on a<br />
‘renovator’s dream’.<br />
“Be honest with yourselves about how<br />
much DIY you can really do, especially if<br />
you’ve got pets and kids”.<br />
“Getting professionals in to help will<br />
cost more, but it will also make the process<br />
faster. It may also be better in the long term<br />
when it comes to selling the property if any<br />
work has been done properly with the right<br />
consents.”<br />
