Sophisticated burglary
shocks store owner
• By Susan Sandys
BURGLARS CUT through the
roof of Southbridge Superette
to steal more than $20,000 in
cigarettes and about $6500 cash.
Store operator Ankit Gandhi
was shocked and dismayed after
the theft overnight Saturday on
Labour Weekend.
“It’s lots of hassle for me, it’s not
easy for me to deal with, this one,”
Gandhi said.
The offender or offenders had
cut through the internet cable
outside the store and ripped off
a burglar alarm, so the security
company could not be alerted to
the break in. Once inside, they cut
wires to interior security cameras
and took the camera hard drive,
leaving no CCTV images.
They also left no fingerprints.
Until security cameras were restored
late last week, Gandhi was
remaining in the shop overnight
to make sure no one else broke in.
“I’m staying the nights here, I
don’t sleep much.”
Locked cigarette cabinet doors
had been wrenched open and
their shelves emptied, while a safe
with a full week’s takings had
been broken into and the cash
inside stolen.

Grigg seeks re-selection for Selwyn
• By Susan Sandys
SELWYN MP Nicola Grigg is seeking
re-selection as the National Party
candidate for the electorate.
Nominations for the seat close today.
“As far as I understand there are
no other nominees,” Grigg said on
Monday.
“I want to be reselected to continue
the work I am doing in Parliament on
behalf of our district,” Grigg said.
Grigg is a former radio journalist and
National Party press secretary. She beat
off two rivals prior to the last election
to win the National selection,
replacing retiring
Selwyn MP Amy Adams.
She won the seat with
18,578 votes; Labour’s
Reuben Davidson trailed
4943 votes behind on

DEVELOPERS AT Rolleston have
appealed a district council decision to
refuse their rezoning application for land
in the Christchurch International
Airport air noise contour.
The land is in the middle of
their proposed 660-section subdivision
on 53ha, bounded by Levi
Rd, Lincoln Rolleston Rd and
Nobeline Drive.
Four Stars Development Ltd
and Gould Developments Ltd
have appealed to the Environment
Court a decision by the
district council in August to not allow
deferred rezoning of the land, for about
220 sections, which they requested in
their plan change application, Plan
Change 71.
The district council declined the
request as the land is in the airport’s 50
decibal (dB) air noise contour. Air noise
contours restrict residential development
due to the risk of home owners being affected
by aircraft noise.
However, this particular air noise contour
is under review and will move from
Rolleston to West Melton, if remodelling
is confirmed.
The developers’ lawyer Gerard Cleary
has told the Environment Court in
the appeal document, the remodelled
contour no longer took in this part of
Rolleston. While the remodelled contour
was subject to review by a Canterbury
Regional Council panel of experts,
which would issue a final
report next month, it was likely
to be confirmed.
“It is practically inevitable
that the final report by the panel
of experts will confirm that the
land is no longer affected by the
50 dB contour,” Cleary said.
The hearing commissioner,
who had advised the district council
not to allow deferred rezoning – that
is rezoning to kick in once the contour
shifted – had failed to give regard to “the
most up to date technical information on
the location of the air noise contours”.
Meanwhile, the district council will
soon schedule a hearing for Plan Change
74, a rezoning application from Hughes
Development Ltd for 20ha at West Melton.
Christchurch International Airport
is among submitters opposing the
development, for up to 130 sections
on land bounded by Halkett Rd and
West Coast Rd, due to it being in the
remodelled air noise contour.

SELWYN continues to be the
fastest growing place in the
country, with more new residents
in Selwyn in the past year than
anywhere else in New Zealand.
The latest population estimates
from Statistics New Zealand show
Waikirikiri Selwyn’s population
grew by 3600 new residents to
79,300, which was the largest
total number of new residents of
anywhere in the country. Selwyn
also had the biggest proportional
growth at 4.5 per cent.

by 200 (0.6 per
cent) and Christchurch
city’s
population fell by
700 people (-0.2
per cent) in the year to June 2022.
Selwyn’s population growth
was backed by a continuing strong
economy, with the most recent
figures from economic analysts
Infometrics showing Selwyn’s
economy grew by 6.2 per cent in
the year to June against a national
average of 0.9 per cent.
Selwyn’s economy was supported
by strong dairy payouts,
along with the ongoing housing
boom, strong consumer spending
and tourism bouncing back from
the impacts of the pandemic with
tourism spending growing by 10.7
per cent in the year to June.
Mayor Sam Broughton says
Selwyn is benefiting from a combination
of great natural attractions,
good planning and a strong

Councillor
to propose

street corner
ELLESMERE WARD district
councillor Shane Epiha has
met with residents concerned
about road safety on the corner
of Market St and Pultney St,
Leeston.
Epiha told social media followers
he would be asking the
district council to consider
speed calming options and
make the corner safer.
He said drivers “flying”
around the corner, near Leeston
School, often had to suddenly
hit their brakes when they saw
children crossing.
There was also boy racer
activity in the area.
He said Manse St had also
seen an increase in speeding.
“Burnouts are great on a skid
pad, but not in a residential area

of serious harm,” Epiha said.

District council animal control
team leader Steve Clarke said the
dogs, one male and one female,

not microchipped.
“The dogs could do with a

“We haven’t had any success in

had a number of generous offers
from people in the community to

The district council first put

being in a “sad way,” in need of
“summer grooming” and “TLC.”
There were also offers from

ELLESMERE HOSPITAL has
re-opened this week, while
Darfield Hospital is expected
to open next week, after the
facilities have been closed for
seven months.
“It’s been a long time, no-one
can understand why it has been
so long,” said Tom Tyler, husband
of Helen, who is a patient at
Ellesmere Hospital.
Helen was forced to move to
an Ashburton rest home when
the hospitals closed in March.
The closure was due to health
staff pressures in the Covid pandemic,
and was expected to last
just six weeks.
Tom said he had only been able
to see his beloved wife, who is
bedridden due to having suffered
a stroke, once or twice a week
when she was in Ashburton.
But now she is back in Leeston
near their marital home, he had
returned to seeing her every day.
He said the joy of seeing Helen
return had overshadowed the past
sadness of having her so far away.
“We will forget about it pretty
quick, you just move on don’t

Design for Coes Ford
wetland almost completed
AN AMBITIOUS project that
will see a wetland constructed
near Coes Ford is approaching
the end of its design phase.
Coes Ford is a popular swimming,
picnicking and camping
area south of Springston. At
times during summer, the water
quality is below standards set for
swimming.
Silverstream, a spring-fed
catchment, is the main contributor
of contaminants to the
Waikirikiri/Selwyn River at the
site. Three years ago, a feasibility
study that we commissioned
determined that a constructed
wetland could improve the water
quality of the Silverstream before
it reaches the Waikirikiri.
Last year, the project took a
significant step forward when
Selwyn District Council secured
a key parcel of private land near

the Coes Ford camping ground.
This land will form part of a
planned 26ha (approximately)
biodiversity, mahinga kai and
recreation development – of
which the proposed 4ha wetland
will be a part of.
The cost of the design was
partly funded by Fonterra’s Sustainable
Catchments fund, with
Environment Canterbury making
up the difference.
Environment Canterbury land
management adviser, Sylvia
McAslan, said the site will be
made up of two wetlands.
“They’ll act like a couple of
kidneys, in that they’ll take water
from Snake Creek and Silverstream
and will remove some of
the contaminants through special
plants and sediment traps.”
It’s hoped construction can get
under way in summer 2023/24.

Lucerne key in gaining more punch
A pasture project that
has helped farmers on
dryland hill properties
has another important
role to play, writes Tim
Cronshaw
PROF DERRICK Moot plucks off
a fresh stalk of lucerne which he
fondly calls “God’s own plant”.
The nitrogen-fixing legume
is nestled in six fields within
the Lincoln University grounds
where the academic and his small
team are looking at gaining more
punch from its feeding rotation.
Lambs contentedly munch
on the perennial, oblivious that
they’re contributing to important
science.
Once a minority player, lucerne
– known as alfalfa in other
parts of the world – has gained
a following among dryland
farmers because of its high
energy, yield and resilience.
A large tap root reaches deep
into the soil to access nutrients
and water.
More commonly grown for
grazing here, as opposed to
being used as hay forage in other
areas such as North America,
it’s become a pivotal part of the
university’s dryland pastures
research programme.
Initially a climate change
project, the focus is on feeding

animals well in tough dryland
country typically on the East
Coast from Central Otago to
Gisborne.
The goalposts shifted last
month with its genesis becoming
even more valid, as the Government
announced that farmers
face paying a price for their agricultural
emissions from 2025.
Moot says the sheep and beef
sector has reduced its methane
emissions by 30 per cent and its
emissions per kilogram of meat
over the past 30 years.
Total emissions have gone
down because dairying
expanded, but better feeding of
animals is behind productivity
gains going from about one
kilogram of methane per 1kg of
meat to now 0.7kg of methane for
1kg of meat, he says.
Fewer ewes with a higher
lambing percentage have
contributed to this with a faster
growth rate of lambs to heavier
kill weights.
He says more improvement
needs to come from productivity,
with lucerne playing its part on
dryland farms by better feeding
of ewes and lambs during the
vital lactation phase.
“That’s what we’ve done and we
need to continue to do that, but
that’s not part of the conversation
at the moment.
“There’s a lot of conversations
of other forms of trying to reduce
our emissions predominantly
cutting numbers, lower-emitting
sheep, vaccines, seaweed, a number
of things experimental.
“How does a farmer do it right
now? The only way of doing it is
feeding your animals better and
getting rid of your lambs and
cattle quicker and having fewer
of them because they’re more
fecund. If you have fewer ewes
during the winter then you will
have reduced methane as well.”
He says the jury might be out
whether other countries will
follow our world-first legislation,
but it’s going to land here so we
have to deal with it.
An educated guess is that 20
years ago few dryland farmers
would have got rid of lambs at
weaning at 90 to 100 days so just
about all of them were going
through into December, January
and February.
Some of those farmers would
now be getting rid of 60 to 70 per
cent of their lambs at weaning
and take another big cut a month
later.
Another productivity gain
is that their ewe lambs will be
growing better so they can be
mated as hoggets, rather than
them being merely a grazing
expense for a year – “not a great
methane emission reducer”.
The dryland pasture studies
started when Moot arrived back
from the United Kingdom in the
1990s, after working on climate
change.
He got a position at Lincoln
University and thought who’s
going to be most affected “if”
climate change happens.
“Climate change was on the
agenda and I’d been working on
wheat yields in different parts of
the United Kingdom.
“It was [in the minds] of the
agricultural science community
here in New Zealand, but there
wasn’t a lot of conversations
outside of the science
community. Indeed, when I
first started talking to farmers,
I didn’t mention climate change
and just said you are dealing with
climate variability and how can
we create an insurance policy for
you.”
There wasn’t a lot of acceptance
from either the public or the
rural community then, hence the
diplomacy.

from feed, research team finds
“In fact my first lectures at
Lincoln University were on
climate change and a couple of
people have told me they actually
put my lecture notes in the bin
because they thought they were
nonsense because I was bringing
back this information, the data
and the models from the UK.
They laughed about it afterwards,
but that’s how it started.”
A few years followed as he put
together a research project with a
focus on lucerne after wondering
why more use wasn’t being made
of the plant in farming.
Lucerne had fallen out of
favour as irrigation gained pace
and because of its limiting reputation
as a cut-and-carry forage.
A survey found that farmers had
lucerne, but made it into hay or
silage and fed it to stock in the
summer.
Prof Moot began questioning
why lucerne wasn’t being
grazed. The answer didn’t arrive
immediately, but eventually was
straightforward.
Farmers had been told to wait
until it got to 10 per cent flowering,
by which time it was 70-80
centimetres tall and virtually a
“tree trunk”.
That management advice
had come from a cut-and-carry
system in the United States for
providing feed for dairy cows in
feedlots – a foreign scenario to

hill country sheep and beef farming
here.
The problem with this was that
the plant wasn’t useful when it
was needed most at the busiest
time of the farming year when
animals were lactating. Augustborn
lambs need feeding that
month, not by late October to
mid-November when lucerne had
reached 70cm.
Weaned lambs would go on
the harvested lucerne around
Christmas, but the animals’ guts
took a few weeks to adjust and
the timing of the system was out
of kilter as the plant’s growth
rate slowed in summer when the
lambs started growing quickly.
The first step was to “pick the
plant to pieces” and get the science
to stack up to try to make it
more useful. Lucerne essentially
works like a poplar or willow
tree, storing nitrogen and carbon
in the ground in autumn before
bursting back into life in spring.
Understanding its life-cycle,
the researchers realised they
could change its management so
ewes and lambs could graze on
high-quality feed around lambing,
assisting ewe lactation and
helping them keep their condition
to get back into cycle more
easily later on.
Stock are now grazed from early
August at Lincoln University.
They then move on to subterranean
clover to work out a more
robust package for growing it.
This clover is grown in some of
the driest parts of North Canterbury
and Hawkes Bay, where
animals in the lactation period
are vulnerable on farms with two
to three months of summer-dry
weather.
The self-seeding annual germinates
in the autumn, producing a
rosette about the size of a saucer
in the winter and then runs
as the days get longer in early
spring, a growth period that’s a
month earlier than white clover.
Moot said the key part of that
study was working out how to
turn 10kg of seed in the first paddock
to 1000kg for the farmer.
That involved letting the first
paddock set seed with grazing
only by cattle initially and concentrating
on a small area first.
So the second step was to apply
the lessons on farms and the
last part of the DPR study the
past five years has been writing
up some of the case studies
in the Hill Country Futures
programme with Beef+Lamb
NZ and making them visible to
people and showing their impact.
Moot says the farm data has
given scientists confidence and
the case studies have given farmers
confidence.
Early adopters such as Doug
Avery, at Marlborough’s Bonavaree
Farm, acted as a catalyst for
others to follow.
Once the DPR team could
prove the model worked the challenge
was to evolve the principles
to other parts of the country and
environments beyond summerdry
farms.
Banks Peninsula’s 5500ha
Willesden Farm, managed by
Matt Iremonger, has gone from
five to 350ha in lucerne the past
five years.

• From page 9
Lucerne is being used in a
specialist way on the property
for hoggets rearing their first
lambs to make sure they’re well
fed during lactation and provide
a boost for the still-growing
animals.
A Hill Country Futures study
has measured this to be two and
a-half to three times better than
the grass yield over contrasting
average, dry and wet seasons
the last three years. Lucerne’s 14
tonnes of dry matter a hectare
on average compares with the
resident pastures’ 6t/ha.
Lincoln University studies
have shown twin lambs grazing
on lucerne before weaning
routinely put on 300 grams per
head a day.
“That’s what you need,” Moot
said.
“If you’ve got a dry farm you’ve
got to get from a 5kg animal
to a 35kg animal in 100 days.
The maths says you have to
grow 300g per day. The average
growth rate is probably 150g per
head a day and the difference for
those on grass-based pastures
is that the ryegrass is absolutely
fine when you start in spring but
then goes to seed just as you’re
getting large lambs starting to
eat themselves and your ryegrass
quality starts to drop.
“Animals will always do well
in lactation because they can
feed on mum, and mum will lose
condition so the advantage of
lucerne or red clover, or whatever
herbs with legume it might be,
is that you can maintain mum’s
condition as well as growing
the animals quickly during that
lactation period.”
By the same token, cull ewes
fed on lucerne can get off the
farm earlier and avoid freezing
works bottlenecks.
The animals are generally fed
on mono-cultures of lucerne
in the likes of Central Otago,
Mackenzie district, North Canterbury,
Blenheim or Hawkes
Bay, but systems vary depending
on the location of a farm and its
moisture levels.
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
Dryland pastures research helping farmers
PACKING A PUNCH: Once a minority player, lucerne has
gained a following among dryland farmers because of its
high energy, yield and resistance.
Red clover is sometimes
exclusively fed on farms such
as John Chapman’s Inverary
Station – partly to also help him
take control of weed grasses –
before being replaced by Italian
ryegrass after a few years or put
in permanent pasture with timothy
grass.
Inverary continues to get rain
through winter to summer most
years, but the principles of the
lucerne lessons still apply.
Prof Moot says hill country
grass is usually nitrogen deficient
as can be seen comparing urine
patches with nearby pasture.
Many hill country farmers
don’t put on nitrogen fertiliser
because of the cost of applying
it by aircraft and if they do, it’s
usually 100kg of nitrogen in the
spring, he says.
He says putting nitrogenfixing
legumes in can fix this,
with the likes of lucerne, red and
white clover providing about
30kg of nitrogen per tonne of
legumes grown. Summer-dry
farmers without the large rainfall
of other farming areas don’t have
to deal with nitrate leaching as
the nitrogen stays in the soils to
be used by grasses and legumes
later.
A lucerne stand will generally
last five to 10 years. The former
might be in an irrigated paddock
where weeds might sprout
up, while dryland properties
working with the DPR team
last seven-plus years. After that
grazing period Italian ryegrass
or another crop might be planted
to mop up nitrogen in the soil,
lasting 18 months to two years
after lucerne is removed.
Farmers can concentrate on removing
weeds then and go back
to lucerne.
Another Hill Country Futures
study at Inverary found 30t/ha of
Italian ryegrass dry matter was
grown without nitrogen following
three years of it being in red
clover pasture.
Similar dryland studies have
shown good gains after lucerne is
grown at Lincoln University.
The DPR team is by no means
large with the core of the group
including Moot as its frontman,
a research associate and a field
technician. But it has been able
to call on academics inside and
outside of the university and
many PhD, masters and visiting
students.
Their grazing management has
been picked up in South American
nations such as Chile and
Argentina for beef cattle grazing
and in Australia, with interest
extending to rangelands farming
in the United States.
Moot says the difference between
now and when the project
first started is that East Coast
farmers have hope.
Lucerne has become part of
their system rather than an oddball,
he said.
Looking ahead, there’s a
research application in with the
Ministry for Primary Industries to
go back and profile the economic
and environmental footprint of
farms involved with DPR.
“Climate change was always
there in the beginning of the
project. I never thought we
would be trying to reduce methane
emissions out of animals.
“When I did climate change
30 years ago it was always about
carbon dioxide in energy and
still is in my opinion, but New
Zealand has decided we are
going to do methane so now we
have to measure it.”

Weed control project to
protect gorge’s biodiversity
AN INTENSIVE weed control
project in Rakaia Gorge is
helping to protect the area’s rare
and precious native plants and
trees.
The project is being carried
out over four years, and after the
district council, Environment
Canterbury and landowners
undertook an assessment of the
gorge’s ecological values, and the
weeds that threaten them.
The gorge is rich in native
biodiversity, with diverse mixed
hardwood species, bluff shrublands,
tussock land, grasslands
and two large wetlands.
At least 16 threatened and
at-risk native plant species
have been recorded – including
Canterbury pink broom, and
rōhutu/myrtle – both nationally
critical, along with others that
are regionally uncommon.
According to the district
council’s senior biodiversity advisor
Andrew Spanton, the project
recognises Rakaia Gorge’s
special role in maintaining local
biodiversity.
“Because of its steep banks
and high cliffs Rakaia Gorge has
been relatively free of grazing
and fires, making it something
of a safe haven for native plants,”
he says.
Along with sycamores,
cherry, cotoneaster and wilding
conifers have been identified as
causing significant issues in the
gorge.
“These species are highly
competitive and will usually
out-compete our native plants.
In our first year of work we
were playing catch up to remove
the most obvious and harmful
weeds,” he says.
A contractor is now being
engaged to start on the second
year of weed control.
“While weed eradication is
our top priority, there are also
complementary trapping and
planting projects under way,”
Spanton says.

suspicious
activity at
Foster Park
• By Susan Sandys
ROLLESTON Volunteer Fire
Brigade chief Cam Kenyon is
urging people to keep an eye
out for any suspicious activity at
Foster Park.
Kenyon said the brigade had
responded to several callouts
of small vegetation fires in and
around the park in the past fortnight.
The last one was Sunday 6pm,
which had been in the vicinity of
Fosters Homestead, located in the
park.
He said the abandoned homestead
was at threat of catching fire
in such incidents, particularly as
temperatures climbed heading
into summer.
“With the warmer weather and
the dry nor’westers, vegetation is
starting to dry out,” Kenyon said.
Thankfully to date the fires
had been observed by passersby
and called in early. The fires were
unexplained.
“Possibly kids (lighting them), if
anyone sees anything suspicious,
phone 111,” he said.

Swimmer Bella is bound for Berlin
SELWYN SWIMMER Bella
Lammers has been named in the
New Zealand squad to compete
in the 2023 Special Olympics
World Summer Games in Berlin.
She will be part of a 40-strong
squad that will compete in
the German capital from June
17-25, and also includes fellow
Cantabrians Nathan Winkelman
(basketball), Haven Drinnan
(swimming), Ryan Gourdie
(powerlifting), Samantha
Shepherd (equestrian) and Blair
Smith (Bocce).
Over 7000 athletes with an
intellectual disability from 190
countries will compete in Berlin
across 26 sports in the world’s
largest inclusive sporting
event.
Bella is super excited to be
named in the New Zealand team
and travel to Germany.
“It’s awesome! And I’m going
be on TV,” says the Rolleston
swimmer, who just celebrated
her 21st birthday.
Bella has been part of the
Selwyn Special Olympics
swimming squad for eight years
and in 2017 competed in the
National Summer Games in
Wellington.
“Wellington was awesome. I
won a gold, silver and bronze
medal,” says a proud Bella,
whose room is covered in medals
and ribbons from her swimming
exploits.
“We are really excited for these
athletes, their coaches and their
families, as the World Summer
Games will be the pinnacle
of their sporting careers with
Special Olympics,” Special
Olympics New Zealand chief
executive Carolyn Young said.
Young says that the full team
will head into their first training
camp next weekend (November
4-6) to get to know each other
and their coaches in Wellington.
In Berlin, the New Zealand
team will be supported by 19
coaches and other support staff,
under the guidance of head of
delegation Rowena Massey.
Massey said the selection
process included a complex
set of considerations, not just
the sporting ability, as Special
Olympics athletes have different
intellectual disabilities or
additional health challenges.

Special

Summer
Games in

“Flying around the world
to compete and live in an
unfamiliar environment can
be really challenging for our
athletes,” Massey said.
“We had to consider how
independent the athletes are,
if they can travel without their
family, if their health situation
allows them to travel, but
also how long have they been
part of Special Olympics or if
they have attended previous
World Games.”
Young says that the World
Summer Games are the global
pinnacle event, but all New
Zealand athletes will first
be focusing on the National
Summer Games in Hamilton,
starting on December 8, when
around 1400 athletes and
coaches will compete in 10
sports across eight venues.
“Our athletes have been
training five years for these
games, so we can’t wait for our
national games to start.”
Bella is currently training
several times each week with
the Selwyn swim school, and
by herself, as well as her regular
Wednesday Special Olympics
training session, to prepare for
Hamilton.
“Breaststroke is my favourite,
but I also swim freestyle and
butterfly races in Hamilton,”
Bella said.
Aside from her regular
swimming sessions, Bella is
also busy training for her karate
grading to earn her green belt,
is part of a dance group, has
a part-time job at Rolleston
Costume Hire, and is about to
move into her first flat with two
flatmates.
But the 21-year-old seems to
take it all into her stride. “I love
my life,” she said.

Getting to the Heart of What Matters
Parry Field Lawyers say having the trust of clients is
of paramount importance for their community-minded
legal practice.
The firm, which has several partners who live locally, is
celebrating six years of being based in the Selwyn district
with the opening of a new office at 80 Rolleston Drive.
Partnership chair Kris Morrison says the region’s benefit is
that Parry Field has a large team across several offices and
many areas of specialty. It’s been in successful practice in
Canterbury since 1948.
“Having the opportunity to firmly set down roots in Selwyn,
it’s definitely great to have a larger new dedicated office,
and we’re looking forward to working with existing and
new clients.”
The official opening of the new office on October 28 by
Mayor Sam Broughton was attended by several other
Selwyn businesspeople.

Solicitor Cora Granger in the Selwyn team advised,
“We get to know our clients and gain a deeper
understanding of their issues. This approach builds solid
relationships, and we think it leads to quality service.”
“We are always looking to provide innovative and practical
solutions for our clients”, Ms Granger says. Life can provide
you with opportunities but sometimes also challenges. For
example, you may need legal assistance, including issues
with divorce or separation, wills or Power of Attorneys,
incorporating a society or help with a work visa.
“It signifies our commitment to the Selwyn district and
our wish to provide excellent local legal services to clients,”
Mr Morrison said.
Operating with a staff of 80 people across three South
Island sites, the Parry Field Lawyers team in Selwyn has
grown with the district, and there are now seven staff at
Rolleston Drive, which ensures there’ll always be someone
on hand at the office.
The approachable and knowledgeable team offers a wide
range of affordable legal services, including Trust and Asset
Planning, Charities and Social Enterprise and Immigration,
with a focus on Property, Advisory and Disputes.
The business is big enough to handle significant issues but
small enough to ensure that the experienced service clients
receive is cost-effective, efficient and gets to the heart of
the matter quickly.

CELEBRATION: Jack Stewart (left), Glen Innes, Mary McIntre and Gary
Hopkinson at the opening of Across the Divide exhibition. ​
Exhibition hones in
on east-west link
A VIBRANT group gathered at the Te
Huanui Art Gallery in Darfield on Friday
night for the opening of Across the Divide.
The exhibition features the work of
three West Coast artists, Rae Eder, Sarah
Godfrey and Gary Hopkinson.
Said Eder: “We used to call into the
gallery, were asked to join the gallery
and place work in the shop. That lead to
an invitation to exhibit with other West
Coast artists.”
What was initially a larger group show
became four artists, then three.
Much of the artwork depicts the mountain
ranges connecting the east and west
coasts.
Both Eder and Godfrey are landscape
painters, while Hopkinson, a former
architect, incorporates buildings into
watercolour-and-ink artworks.
“I could draw but not paint,” he said of
his decision to pick up a paintbrush.
“A desire to artistically document
structures and buildings started with pen
and washes, then more complex work,
initially using the watercolour set gifted to
me 50 years before.”
Eder had taught art and craft as a
primary school teacher.
“In my fifties I had the time to develop a
serious interest and attraction to making
art,” she said.
Godfrey, meanwhile, studied fine art at
Dunedin School of Art before returning
to the West Coast in 2013. Since then she
has created her uniquely circular paintings
in her studio on the family farm near
Kowhitirangi.
• Across the Divide is on at Te
Huanui until November 24.

Show focuses on youth for its future
• By Tim Cronshaw
A HEAVY youth focus
with a splash of art is being
introduced for this month’s New
Zealand Agricultural Show in
Christchurch, after two years of
cancellation due to Covid-19.
A long list of challenges
has failed to derail the event,
including general manager Tracy
Ahern recovering from falling
down a bank while tramping
in June and being airlifted to
hospital.
There has also been staff
illness, price hikes and
supply delays, as well as a
new team finding its feet and
the challenges of securing
sponsorship to cushion the A&P
Canterbury Association’s $1
million loan over 10 years by the
Christchurch City Council.
Ahern said the setbacks
had forced them to bring
in innovation to ensure the
longevity of New Zealand’s
largest agricultural show.
“Our board is focused on a
new future-proofed strategy. We
definitely had to rethink because
it just wasn’t financially viable
to keep relying on two weeks of
income a year to keep the show
alive, yet alone grow it.”
She said they had brought in a
youth focus linked to showcasing
pathways to rural employment.
“They are who we need to keep
this 159-year-old organisation
going and if we are to be the
world’s farming leaders we need
youth leaders.”
Gate fees are being dropped
for children under 18 years and
the Clash of the Colleges is a new
15-module competition open to
secondary schools.
Teams face tasks such as
identifying animal anatomy,
condition scoring of sheep, wool
classing, identifying seeds and
weeds, applying drench, tying
knots, safety, aspects of fencing,
and putting together a shearing
hand piece.
Another addition is a Cows
in the Park competition with
mostly young artists aged under
25-years-old taking their artistic
flair to life-size fibreglass cows
measuring 1.5m tall. The painted
cows will be auctioned with the
winner producing the highest
bidding art work.
Graffiti artists have also been
brought in to liven up electric
boxes and add “vibrancy” to the
site.
Ahern said the competition
was part of uplifting the rural
sector with art and all the
designs entered by the art
finalists had a rural theme.
Traditional events had not
been ignored and livestock
exhibitor numbers were at record
levels, with another marquee
added to cater for increased
cattle numbers, she said,
New sponsors and corporate
hosting have been brought
on board, and evening
entertainment introduced for the
first time at the Cassels BaaBaa
Bar.
The brewery’s unspecified
anchor contribution is among
new and existing sponsors
supporting the show after forced
cancellations.
Ahern said this showed the
strength of support for the show.
She said organisers were
determined to halve waste at the
event, with sustainable sourcing,
reducing or re-using materials,
a bus service and encouraging
cycling with more cycle racks.
“Materials will be measured,
tracked, and reused or donated
to community organisations and
schools at the conclusion of the
event.”
The show was one of the few
events where people could go for
old fashioned, inter-generational
family fun, she said.
“We want to help every
child get a taste of rural life
– many kids don’t have that
opportunity.”
• The three-day
agricultural show starts on
November 9.

CROWD PLEASER: Organisers want to build on the success
of the pig competition with more youth events at the
upcoming New Zealand Agricultural Show. ​

MESSAGE: White Ribbon Riders will stop at schools throughout the South Island, including at Rolleston.
Riding bikes for healthy relationships
• By Susan Sandys
HIGH SCHOOL students in
the district will be given tips for
healthy relationships when they
are visited by the White Ribbon
Riders this month.
About 12 motor-cyclists will
be rumbling into the district as
part of the lead up to White Ribbon
Day on November 25, the
international day when people
wear a white ribbon to show they
do not condone violence towards
women.
They will be aiming to shatter
stereotypes of toxic masculinity,
and share their own stories of
domestic violence, as they go on
a South Island tour.
The tour will include a free
community evening hosted by
Selwyn Safer Families Trust, at
Rolleston Community Centre on
November 14, along with visits
to Rolleston College, Ellesmere
College and Darfield High
School, and Burnham’s youth
justice residence Te Puna Wai on
Tuhinapo.
The co-ordinator is Rolleston
retired teacher and artist David
Ellena, who is a White Ribbon
ambassador and chair of the
trust. He is also a keen motorcyclist,
but his bike will be
parked up for the tour as he
drives a support vehicle.
Ellena said New Zealand statistics
for domestic violence, and
in particular violence against
women, were some of the worst
in the world.
For example, police attended
a family violence episode every
four minutes, yet only an estimated
33 per cent of cases were
reported.
He referred to the concerning
results of a 2021 survey at
Christchurch Girls’ High School,
that one third of respondents
had been sexually harrassed or
abused.
“This lines up with other surveys,”
Ellena said.
His comments preceded the
release last week of survey results
from Avonside Girls’ High
School and Shirley Boys’ High
School, revealing thousands of
instances of sexual harassment
between both schools, which
share a campus. There were also
21 cases of rape or near-rape at
Avonside Girls’.
Ellena said when it came to
talking to school students, he
and the riders shared their stories.
While he himself had been
fortunate in his life not to have
lived in a home with domestic

violence, he had encountered
bullying at school.
“It’s something now, looking
back, I can see how it made me,
now I know I can share with the
kids from experience, it’s not
just telling a story, it’s my experience,”
Ellena said.
“When a group of folks wearing
leathers and riding motorbikes,
some of whom have been
through this, share their stories
and suggest possible answers,
people tend to listen.”
He said one of the messages
they imparted to boys was having
the courage to show a softer
side, and how to treat girls with
respect. For girls, they shared
the importance of being able to
stand up for themselves in the
face of poor behaviour.
“Often some of these kids are
coming out of homes that are in
cycles of family violence, they
want a way out of it. We talk
about how one of the most important
things is to have respect
for themselves.”
The White Ribbon Riders will
begin the tour in Christchurch
on November 13, before going
to Selwyn. They will then head
north before travelling down
the West Coast. They will be in
Oamaru for White Ribbon Day
before heading back to Christchurch.
The riders are mostly from
Christchurch, Nelson, the West
Coast and the North Island.
Extra riders will be joining in
for the ride to the community
centre for White Ribbon Event.
Selwyn motorcyclists can apply
to join White Ribbon Riders for
their tour at whiteribbon.org.nz
• The free White Ribbon
Event will be held on
November 14, 6.30pm,
at Rolleston Community
Centre. Visitors will be
able to view White Ribbon
Riders’ bikes, and listen
to guest speaker former
professional rugby league
player Richie Barnett.

Springfield turns out for Rewi Alley's
125th anniversary
Springfield’s Rewi Alley Memorial Park was abuzz with activity on Friday
21 October, as Malvern community came together with special guests to
celebrate the 125th anniversary of Rewi’s birth in Springfield.
Annual art festival
kicks off in Selwyn
An impressive array of artworks, art history and creativity will be celebrated in
Selwyn from 4 November, as part of the district’s annual Art Series.
The Series will feature exhibition tours, workshops, art history presentations,
and a behind-the-scenes look at what goes into maintaining Lincoln University’s
enviable collection of New Zealand artworks.
The Series will begin with a tour of Pahū exhibition on Friday 4 November at
Te Ara Ātea, where the works of New Zealand artists Judy Darragh, Janna van
Hasselt, Turumeke Harrington, Miranda Parkes and Clara Wells are on display.
Exhibition curator Chloe Cull says the tours are an opportunity for people to learn
more about the incredible artworks which were made especially for Te Ara Ātea.
“Clara Wells’ projection ‘The Search and the Return’ in particular is quite
appealing to visitors as they love the moving elements. It’s quite extraordinary at
different times of the day when you see the colours coming through.”
The Series will feature an insightful art history talk on Springfield-born writer,
Rewi Alley, by University of Canterbury Associate Professor, Richard Bullen
focussing on Rewi’s special relationship with Selwyn’s Sister City, Shandan
County, and his Chinese art collection.
Two hands-on workshops will be hosted on how to make your own flip book
animation, and the joys of still life watercolour painting.
Aspiring artists will have the chance to learn the best ways of writing about their
work for funding proposals, and how to receive feedback or engage with criticism,
thanks to curator and arts advisor Jamie Hanton.
“I’d really encourage local artists to attend Jamie’s presentation. You’ll learn some
tips and tricks for talking and writing about your work, and have an opportunity to
engage with others in the Selwyn arts community,” Chloe says.
To end the Series, bespoke shoemaker Louise Ayling will visit Te Ara Ātea on 8
December to share how she has combined shoemaking and photography to create
powerful pieces.
Bookings are essential for many of the Selwyn Art Series events. To learn more
and to book, visit selwyn.govt.nz/events.
Spring building maintenance
tips – smoke alarms
A home is usually the biggest single investment most people make. So it makes sense
to protect that investment by carrying out regular maintenance to keep it in good
condition. Our building team provide some seasonal advice throughout the year to help
you keep on top of maintaining your home.
As the days heat up it’s a good time to make sure things don’t get too hot in your
home over spring and summer by testing your smoke alarms to ensure they are
still working.
Like most devices, smoke alarms don’t last forever, so if you find they are not working,
or the batteries have run out, buy replacements and get them fitted without delay –
your life could depend on it. Always make sure you buy good quality smoke alarms
with a test button so you can regularly check that they are still functioning to protect
your family.
Retrofitted smoke alarms are often installed in locations that are not compliant and
can lead to false alarms, so if your fitting new detectors here’s some simple rules
to follow:
• Ensure they are either located in all bedrooms or within three metres of bedroom
doors so that they can be heard at the bed head.
• They are best installed flat on the ceiling at the highest point and at least 300mm
away from wall/ceiling junctions.
• If you have a two-storey house, ensure you have an alarm located at the top of
the stairwell.
• Don’t install detectors in the kitchen or next to log burners where they will
regularly trigger false alarms.
• If your smoke alarms are hard wired into your security system, follow the security
system manual instructions on how to test them – this is usually easily done with
a magnet.
Members of the Malvern Community Board, Springfield Township Committee,
Sister City Committee, and students and principals from Springfield School
and Darfield High School were joined by the Chinese Ambassador to New
Zealand Wang Xiaolong and Chinese Consul General Madame He Ying to
unveil a new plaque at the memorial park.
Alley, born in 1897, remains one of China’s best-known and loved foreigners,
setting up cooperatives and schools in the country. He is also the reason for
Selwyn’s Sister City relationship with Shandan in northwest China.
Sister Cities Committee Chair, Allison
Rosanowski says the day was a great
opportunity to remember
Rewi’s contributions.
“It was a moving celebration and it
was wonderful to have young people
involved, given the legacy
Rewi started.”
“He spent many years in China,
working first in the fire brigade and
then as a factory inspector in Shanghai
where he witnessed child labour and became concerned about the plight of
young children working in factories,” she says.
“Rewi would go on to establish the Shandan Bailie School, which is now a
large vocational college.”
The Chinese Ambassador spoke of Rewi’s time in China, and explained that
the primary focus of the celebration was to share the Rewi Alley legacy with
young people. He then unveiled the new memorial plaque with the assistance
of Springfield School and Darfield High School students. The plaque was
made in China and donated by the Christchurch Chinese Consulate.
Members of Rewi’s family, as well as the artist who sculpted the Springfield
statue, Lu Boa and her husband also attended the ceremony.
“I’d really like to acknowledge the Springfield community who for 25 years
now have kept the legacy of Rewi Alley alive,” Allison says.
Following the ceremony, the guests travelled to Amberley where Rewi spent
time as a child.
Transforming drains into streams
An ambitious project to transform drains across the district into thriving
streams is making an impact in Selwyn.
Work started in 2013 by Living Water, a partnership between Department of
Conservation (DOC) and Fonterra, to improve the ecology and management
of drains in the Ararira/LII river catchment, has grown into a partnership
with councils and mana whenua to improve drainage, water quality and
biodiversity, and restoring mahinga kai.
There are about 76kms of council drains and a similar length of private drains
in the Ararira/LII catchment. These drains were built from the mid 1800, to
drain the wetlands around Te Waihora to enable farming and land settlement.
These drains have mainly been managed through diggers digging out built
up sediment. However, the drains are some of the only remaining habitats for
indigenous freshwater biodiversity in Canterbury, and this process has often
meant a trade off with indigenous biodiversity, ecosystem health or Māori
cultural practice.
In 2020, a Memorandum of
Understanding was signed between
the Living Water partners, the
Council and Te Taumutu Rūnanga
to apply what’s been learnt from the
Living Water project to the
wider catchment.
The group formed a working party
in 2021 with the LII Drainage
Committee and Environment
Canterbury to co-design a plan
for managing the whole catchment to meet biodiversity outcomes, restore
mahinga kai, improve water quality and continue to provide land drainage.
The plan could help the river catchment and wider drainage in the district
and become a national example, Selwyn District Council Group Manger
Infrastructure and Property Murray Washington says.
“It’s a really positive and innovative partnership getting all these partners
round the table to make something that’s great for Selwyn, for farming, for
water quality, for biodiversity and transforming these drains into new streams."

Selwyn still the most popular place to live in
the country
Selwyn continues to be the fastest growing place in the country, with more new residents in
Selwyn in the past year than anywhere else in New Zealand.
The latest population estimates from Statistics New Zealand show Waikirikiri Selwyn’s population
grew by 3,600 new residents to 79,300, which was the largest total number of new residents of
anywhere in the country. Selwyn also had the biggest proportional growth at 4.5%.
In the surrounding Council areas Waimakariri grew by 1,300 people (1.9%), Ashburton by 200
(0.6%) and Christchurch City’s population fell by 700 people (-0.2%) in the year to June 2022.
Selwyn’s population growth was backed by a continuing strong economy. The most recent figures
from economic analysts Infometrics showing Selwyn’s economy grew by 6.2% in the year to June
against a national average of 0.9%.
Selwyn’s economy was supported by strong dairy payouts, along with the ongoing housing boom,
strong consumer spending and tourism bouncing back from the impacts of the pandemic with
tourism spending growing by 10.7% in the year to June.
Mayor Sam Broughton says Selwyn is benefiting from a combination of great natural attractions,
good planning and a strong community.
"When people are looking for an awesome place to bring up their whanau or grow a business
Waikirikiri Selwyn ticks all the boxes.
“Since the pandemic we’ve seen people all around the world reassessing what lifestyle they want.
Here in Aotearoa, people have been moving away from the big cities and in Selwyn they’re seeing a
beautiful region, with a young, welcoming population, great social amenities, a balance of rural and
urban lifestyle, and a good economy.
“The challenge for us now is meeting the natural growing pains that come with increasing
population. We’re working hard to keep those things that make Selwyn attractive, to protect what
we have while embracing the change.”

Check for birds before firing up your tractor
FIRE CHIEFS ARE asking the
public to be extra careful after a
number of reignited vegetation fires
in recent weeks.
Brigades had attended incidents
where land and property owners
had previously lit a fire but it had
not been extinguished properly and
so had ignited again.
When strong winds occur, fires
can be fanned back to life and
transfer embers which create unwanted
fires elsewhere.
Piles of vegetation can also
hold heat for months after burning,
so here are some helpful tips to
keep safe when lighting your next
fire.
• After the flames have been put
out, check the burn in the days
and weeks following to ensure it
is completely out and cannot
escape.
• Check any piles or windrows as
well to ensure they are cold in the
centre, and make sure to turn them
to ensure the material is completely
burned.
Preventing fires
With Dean Harker FENZ
community risk manager
• Do not restock any piles with
fresh fuel for a later burn as there is
a risk of the fire reigniting.
For further information visit:
https://www.checkitsalright.nz/
reduce-your-risk/fire-for-landmanagement
Remember to also stop and pop
the bonnet when starting machinery
as bird nesting is a common
cause of machinery fires around
New Zealand.
Birds are determined and continue
to nest. They love to do so in
tractor engines and exhausts because
it’s warm and protected from
the weather.
• All operators should check their
tractor engines and other farm machinery
before starting or getting
back to work.
• Birds are known to create nests
in engines in less than an hour so
make sure to check even between
morning and afternoon tea breaks
and especially if the tractor has not
been used in a while.
A nest caused a tractor fire in
Darfield about this time last year, so
make sure to check first. That way
you’ll be firing up your engine, not
setting your engine on fire.

GARDENING
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
Keep on top of strong spring growth
THE LAST WEEK of October
is possibly the biggest in the
gardening calendar, it is certainly
one of the most interesting.
Spring growth is occurring in
all parts of the home garden and
roses are bursting into flower.
It’s now
time to feed
lawns and
tackle any
problems.
House plant care
Check the position of your
houseplants, summer sun can impact
on the health of some plants
– they can get too hot in the sun.
Extra watering will be required
as temperatures rise. This is an
excellent time to purchase some
new houseplants to ‘brighten’ up
your home.
Vegetable garden
Vegetables that can be planted
now include beetroot, cabbage,
cauliflower, celery, leeks, lettuce,
onions, peas, potatoes, radish, silver
beet and spinach. The following
can be added to the garden in
the next few weeks – cucumbers,
aubergines, beans, sweet corn,
tomatoes and zucchini. Always
rotate crops in different parts of
the vegetable garden and add
fresh compost to the existing soil
prior to planting.
In the flower bed
Remove all late winter, spring
flowering annuals, straight into
the compost bin. Add fresh
compost before planting your
summer flowering annuals. These
could include; alyssum, cornflower,
californian poppy, lobelia,
Livingstone daisy, marigold, nemesia,
petunias, phlox, portulacas,
salvias and zinnias.
Blooming bulbs
In most areas flowering is
now almost over. Many like
daffodils can be left undisturbed
to naturalise where they are
growing. Where there is
overcrowding, they can be lifted
later in the season and replanted
in autumn.
Strawberries
The first strawberries begin
to ripen towards the end of the
month. Maintain a ‘layer’ of clean
crushed bark or pea straw around
the plants to provide a clean ‘bed’
for the strawberries. Cover the
plants with bird netting if birds
are a problem.
Fruit trees
Pip and stone fruit are in full
blossom during October (some
stone fruit may have flowered
in late September). Do not be
discouraged by the early loss of
small fruit, it is quite common
for only five to 10 per cent of the
blossom to develop into mature
fruit. Most citrus fruits have finished
‘cropping’ for the year, only
the Seminole tangelo remains to
ripen in November. Fertilise all
fruit trees with fruit tree fertiliser,
starting in early October.
Rose care
October and November are
two of the ‘best’ months for roses.
Plants are still disease free, grown
Plant your
seedlings
into well
prepared
soil.
rapidly and produce abundant
displays of flowers. Rose and
flower fertiliser can be applied
starting in early October and
repeat every six weeks up until
mid-December. Dead head (the
removal of finished flowers) regularly
to encourage more blooms.
Lawns
As the air and soil temperatures
increase, so does the grass
growth. Mow lawns regularly,
slowly lowering the height of cutting.
Lawn fertiliser can be safely
applied in October, to encourage
the development of a healthy
and durable lawn. October is
the perfect time for re-sowing
patches of the lawn that are struggling.
Add clean topsoil before
sowing fresh grass seed. Attend to
areas that were particularly wet in
winter, additional drainage may
be required.
Herbs
Almost all herbs can now be
safely planted, with the possible
exception of basil (to be planted
in November). Plant mint in a
large container or separate from
other herbs otherwise the mint
will smother other herbs and
literally take over you garden.
Plant additional specimens or
the most frequently used herbs,
for example, parsley and chives.
Note, most herbs thrive when
grown in containers.
Ornamental shrubs
Almost all shrubs in the
garden will respond to compost
being spread around the plants
and general garden fertiliser
applied around the base of the
shrubs. Some may require some
light pruning to remove unhealthy
growth or misshapen
branches.

A great time to
plant

Choose plants that
look after themselves
IF YOU ADD up the number of
hours spent watering the garden
each summer, the number might
surprise you.
That’s why plants and flowers
that tend to look after themselves
are most beneficial. Like the
colourful gazania, for example.
This Southern-African native
prefers conditions that are hot,
dry, windy and sunny – the perfect
plant for a long New Zealand
summer.
Because of this, it’s best to position
them in a free-draining area
– along the side of your house,
near your letterbox or, if you’re
lucky enough, outside your beach
house.
Gazania will add a splash of
summer colour, producing flowers
in hot shades of orange, red,
yellow and cream – colours that
also look stunning in pots. In
fact, they’re perfect for the deck
as you can leave them to go about
the business of flowering, without
the need for watering.
Sound like the perfect plant for
you?
When planting, choose an area
with soil that is well drained,
rather than hard and wet. Dig a
hole and pop in your seedling.
Plant your seedlings quite close
together – about 200mm apart -
as they don’t tend to spread too
far outwards when they grow.
It’s also the perfect distance for
covering any gaps should any of
the plants fail to prosper.
In around six to eight weeks
you should be enjoying a flurry of
hot, summer colour that will last
the whole season. Best admired
from the patio.

NEW ZEALAND’S magazine for
gardeners who like to get their
hands dirty, Kiwi Gardener was
a finalist in two categories at the
recent Webstar Magazine Media
Awards in Auckland.
The monthly magazine, published
by Allied Press Magazines

in the coveted People’s Choice
Award, won by Dish.
“Kiwi Gardener is fortunate to
have highly engaged readers who
value the magazine for its helpful
advice for any gardener, whether
it’s their first time up the garden
path or they’re old hands. We really
appreciate all those who took
the time to vote for us,” editor

for best columnist for
her humorous Living off the Land
column. It has been chronicling
her experiences trying to be selfsufficient
on an 800 sq m section
in The Catlins for seven years.
“Readers send letters and emails
to tell me it’s the first piece they
turn to when they open Kiwi
Gardener,” she said.
“Whether, like me, they live off
the land, or simply garden in their
urban backyard, they all know
what it is to compete with nature
or to be surprised by it. And, like
me, they understand that they
sometimes have to have a laugh at
themselves to do what they do.”

Hororata Domain — 9am to 5pm
Kilts, whisky and haggis … a taste of
Scotland in Canterbury
It’s time to gather the
clan for the 11th Hororata
Highland Games on
Saturday, 5 November 2022.
It’s going to be huge!
This event will be one of the biggest
Scottish gatherings in the Southern
Hemisphere, with 20 pipe bands from
around the South Island, 29 New Zealand
and international heavy athletes, 90
highland dancers, 25 clans, 120 stalls,
230 volunteers and an expected crowd of
10,000 people!
The organisers, Hororata Community
Trust, have been blown away with the
response to this year’s festival after
missing it in 2021. “Our community just
loves converting the Hororata Domain
into the Scottish Highlands for a day, and
it is exciting to be coming back so strong,”
says event manager Cindy Driscoll. “We
have never had this many pipe bands
enter before. The massed bands marching
past at lunchtime will be powerful. And
the field of heavy athletes, both men and
women, is outstanding with competitors
from Australia and Europe travelling to
take on the Kiwis. It will be a clash of the
Titans.”
The best of the best
Current Scottish Highland Games
Association World Champion Vladislav
Tulacek will travel to Hororata from
the Czech Republic to compete in the
Oceania Heavyweight Championship.
Ashburton Kiwi athlete Craig Manson
has embarked on a rigorous training
schedule and will take on the best of the
best at the Hororata Highland Games.
“To have the likes of Vlad come to New
Zealand to take us on at our event is huge,
“ says Craig. “I dream of competing in
Scotland and was not expecting to get the
opportunity to throw against guys like
him here in my own backyard. The calibre
of the whole field is the best we have ever
seen.”
You don’t have to just sit on the sidelines
at the Hororata Highland Games- you can
have a go at tossing cabers, hurling haggis,
eating pies, Tug O’ War, running a Kilted
Mile or donning on the tartan for the
best-dressed lad and lassie.
Cindy describes what you can expect.
“Once you get through the gates, there
are heaps of free activities to have a go
at, no matter your age. Families often
say it is the one event everyone, from
grandparents to toddlers and teenagers,
can enjoy together. We also have musical
performances, Scottish Country dancing
and have-a-go bagpipes in amongst a
huge range of quality market stalls as well
as over 30 food trucks. Don’t miss the
haggis burgers or black pudding!”

Cross Hares Wines
at the Games
Fancy picking up a
locally-grown Pinot Gris
or Pinot Noir at this
year’s Hororata Highland
Games on the 5th of
November? You’ll be
in luck with Tai-Tapu’s
Cross Hares Wine, run
by Natalie and Warrick,
as they will be selling
their boutique wine on
this fun day out.
As confessed one-eyed
Cantabrians, they are all
about promoting where
they live and why they
live there. Living on the
foothills of the Port Hills
and the gateway to Banks
Peninsula, their Tai Tapu
vineyard is where they have “embraced
growing grapes and making good wine”.
Their label came about from the hares that
run wild between the vines.
Being a boutique winery in the true
sense, Natalie says, “We do everything

SELWYN RURAL LIFE
A stunning spring show!
The Ellesmere A & P Association is
beaming from ear to ear after the recent
Selwyn Spring Show was an outstanding
success, pulling in crowds of over 14,000
from far and wide to a record turnout. A
fabulous return since Covid restrictions
were relaxed.
People started pouring in when the
gates opened at 8am, staying well after the
grandest of Grand Parades while the bands
played on.
There was something for everyone with
extensive displays ranging from furry
farmyard friends to purebred sheep; kids
and their calves to gleaming state-of-theart
farm machinery; side shows to dog
trials; Clydesdales to miniature ponies;
alpacas to Victoria sponges; cooking
demonstrations to historical exhibitions;
horse shows to industry stalls; smoking
hot BBQ, shearing, Wearable Arts, and
wood chopping competitions, plus a
fantastic vintage spectacle of static and
working vehicles and machinery to
celebrate over 150 years of the Ellesmere A
& P Association.
And what better way to end the Grand
Parade than to have the majestic turnout
of a dozen traction engines steaming up
the Bayleys Main Ring and signalling
the end of the day with an orchestrated
traction whistle symphony giving
everyone present tingles of yesteryear
delight.
This year’s Supreme Animal of Show
went to P and F Williams of Omihi with
their Southdown ewe and lambs; the
Personality of the Show Cup to Wilma
Grant; the Chris Abbott Memorial Trophy
for Long Service Show Day Supporter to
Stuart Brannigan; and the Bayleys Matson
and Allan Young Achiever Award to Sam
Bailey.
Selwyn Spring Show president David
Birkett was pleased with the day. “It was
marvellous to see so many people return
to the show. After a two-year break from
public entry, it was fantastic that the show
was as popular as ever. It takes such a huge
effort by volunteers and the community to
put the day on, but it is all worth it when
you see the delight on everyone’s faces.”
The Selwyn Spring Show is the jewel in
the crown for Ellesmere, so it’s no surprise
this event has stood the test of time,
offering something for everyone; least of
all reuniting old friends and family for a
truly classic day out in the country.

50 years in the
Spinning a Woolly Yarn is available
instore at Darfield PostShop.
sheep and wool
industry
For over 100 years, sheep farming was
New Zealand’s most important agricultural
industry, with the sheep population
reaching over 70 million in the 1980s. This
industry brought many jobs, and the types
of people drawn to this work were not afraid
to do the hard yards.
It’s not surprising then that there are many
tales to be told by someone working in the
industry. The Courtnay A & P Show being
held on Saturday, 19 November 2022, at the
Kirwee Showgrounds will see Christchurch’s
David Cone launch his autobiography
“Spinning a Woolly Yarn”. This book is a
real-life look at his 50 years in the sheep and
wool industry around the globe.
David left school at 15 years of age and
began working on farms. After gaining a
Diploma in Wool Classing, his journey in
sheep stations meant he encountered many
situations and characters that left a lasting
impression on him. “Spinning a woolly
Yarn” includes anecdotes about 30 rural
characters that he came across, the ups and
downs of the industry and rural life and
tales of the shearing sheds.
David’s recount is full of laughs about
colourful characters and memorable
occasions. His association with sheep
wasn’t just in the shearing shed. He is also
renowned as a sheep racing trainer with a
team of prized sheep called the Baa Blacks
involved in numerous events.
As a ‘kiwi bloke’ and entrepreneur, David
has never been afraid to give things a go.
Encouraged by others to tell his story,
David began writing his memoirs eight
years ago. Creating the book, David says,
“Ideas are easy; the hardest part was getting
published.” However, on a shoestring budget
and with assistance with the structure and
editing, “Spinning a Woolly Yarn” was
recently published.
This outcome was a significant
achievement, and David only recommends
the process “if you’re not a quitter”. The
book will be launched at the Courtnay A &
P Show with a presentation about the book,
and former World Champion Blade Shearer
Peter Cassidy will also speak.
Christmas isn’t far away, and Spinning
a Woolly Yarn may be the perfect gift for
someone interested in rural life and who
enjoys a good laugh. The book has plenty
of photos, yarns about David’s life, and
characters he came across in his many years
in the sheep and wool industry.
So, take the time to see the informative
presentation at the Courtnay A & P Show
on 19 November, and pick up a copy of
David’s book to enjoy reading yourself or to
wrap up as a gift for Christmas.
Spinning a Woolly Yarn is also
available at Darfield PostShop. For more
information on his book contact David on
davidbcone@gmail.com.

anecdotes

Students flourish and thrive at
Christchurch Girls’ High
Choosing the right school for your daughter is an
important step. With boarding another dimension
enters into the equation. Not only do parents desire
a stimulating, engaging learning environment which
challenges students to achieve personal excellence, they
also need a safe, comfortable and happy living space.
Christchurch Girls’ High School is a purpose built
school for girls which places young women at the
centre of education. Acland, the boarding hostel
associated with the school, establishes positive
relationships which create a strong sense of family.
This feeling is further enhanced by the completely
refurbished main homestead. A landscaped pool area
and access to tennis courts, complement the living
arrangements.
Boarders are supervised by a supportive, experienced
and caring team. A Director of Boarding leads her staff
in ensuring the welfare of the students is paramount.
All nutritional needs are met by a professional,
friendly, on-site food services team.
In this environment students flourish and thrive.
They learn to manage selves, relate to others and
participate and contribute. In the process, they
develop resilience, independence, a good work ethic
and lasting friendships.
Learning and living at Christchurch Girls’ High
School is tailored specifically to meet the needs of
today’s young women.

MG powering into EV market
IT WASN’T THE ideal start to an
evaluation.
Just one day into my time in
an MG HS PHEV Plus, a plug-in
hybrid electric sport utility vehicle,
I thought I’d take the opportunity
to boost the battery capacity at a
designated charge port.
However, I couldn’t get the key
fob to register and was scratching
my head wondering what to do
next when a kind Nissan Leaf
owner, who had pulled up beside
me, offered his fob to charge the
MG as well as his car. That was
fine until 50min later when it was
time for me to leave I discovered I
needed his fob to release the MG
from the charger. There was no
sign of my Samaritan and I was
trapped plugged in and attached to
the charge port.
After much detective work, I
managed to locate the Leaf owner
and he came back some time later
to release his car and the MG.
Lesson learnt there – make sure the
fob is registered to all charge point
providers.
If you’ll pardon the pun,
the long-standing brand MG
is powering into our market
with electric vehicles and plugin
hybrids, supply is relatively
plentiful and all models are priced
for affordability.
MG has the fully electric ZS,
a small sport utility vehicle that
I’m about to drive soon, it sits
alongside the HS PHEV SUV a car
one-step bigger. At 4.5m the HS sits
in the mid-size market and has all
the benefits an electric motor and
petrol engine can provide.
What’s more, the HS PHEV
is priced so that those who are
heading in the eco-friendly
direction can do so without
breaking the bank – the HS is here
in two specifications Excite and
Essence that list at $51,990 and
$55,990 respectively, the evaluation
car was the latter, and it is fully
functional and equipped with a
high range of specification.
Before you do the maths,
take into account as well the
Government will open its purse
and refund you $5750 on both
as part of its clean car rebate
programme. It gets even better
from there, MG’s prices include on
road costs, seven year warranty,
seven year roadside assistance
and seven year warrant of fitness
checks.
What’s more, you are buying into
a very well recognised brand, there
are many who will buy an MG
solely as a way of reconnecting with
the nameplate they have known as
desirable during the heady days of
English sports cars, convertibles
and reliable sedans.
Even though development
work and design is carried out in
SMOOTH LINES: The MG HS PHEV has traditional sport
utility vehicle characteristics, practicality has been a
manufacturing priority.
MG HS PHEV: Plug-in and charge up, cover a distance of 63km without using petrol.
the United Kingdom, MG today
is owned and operated out of
the giant Shanghai Automotive
Industry Corporation in China.
SAIC is a well-established
conglomerate that has had
connections with General Motors,
Volkswagen and a number of heavy
vehicle manufacturers.
Those who are working in the
Christchurch MG dealership are
passionate about the product, and
the brand has a high profile in the
city, you can tell that things are
ticking over nicely for MG here,
there are a healthy number on our
roads and the dealership is busy.
In terms of the HS PHEV’s
drive system, it is not so difficult
to explain. In EV mode the HS is
powered by a 16.6kWh lithium-ion
battery, its high rating will give you
range, according to the distributors
up to 63km between charges. In
normal EV fashion charging can
be done in two ways, but you will
need two different cables. One is a
type 2 to type 2 that I used at a DC
rapid charging point taking about
45min to charge from low to 80 per
cent.
The other is a three-pin cable
that can be plugged in from a
domestic supply, MG claims an
estimated five hours to fully charge.
The HS PHEV also has a fourcylinder
turbocharged petrol
engine. Its capacity is 1.5-litre and
is rated at 119kW and 250Nm,
healthy figures that sure provide
• Price – MG HS PHEV Plus,
$55,990
• Dimensions – Length,
4574mm; width, 1876mm;
height, 1664mm
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,
front-wheeldrive,
1490cc, 119kW
(+90kW), 250Nm
(+230Nm), continuously
variable automatic
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 6.9sec
• Fuel usage – 1.7l/100km
solid momentum. Add in the
90kW and 230Nm from the
electric motor and you have a
powerful driveline combination
that will send you to 100km/h from
a standstill in 6.9sec. It will also
complete a highway overtake in
5.6sec (80-120km/h).
The power flow is instant, when
charged, the electric motor will
give you most of the impetus,
petrol power takes on largely a
back-up role. When activated it is
rather dynamic, although it makes
its presence known in a quiet and
orderly fashion.
My daughter took ill while on a
field trip and I had to make a hasty
trip to the shores of Lake Ellesmere
to get her medical attention.
On that journey the HS PHEV
dispensed the kilometres with
little fuss, it is quiet and smooth.
None of that is a surprise given the
mechanicals aren’t under a great
deal of load.
A couple of tight corners
on those roads were dealt to
with balance and stability
underneath. The suspension is fully
independent and it is engineered
with a certain amount of firmness
that exudes a dynamic feel. The
high grade variant gets wheels
an inch in diameter larger than
the entry model, and the 235/50
x 18in Michelin tyres offer a
surefootedness and steering feel
that is quite involving.
More importantly is MG’s fuel
usage claim. Rated at 1.7-litres
per 100km, the HS PHEV can
only achieve that at best possible
usage. My sudden excursion
to Southbridge did little to
enhance economy, but I did take
the evaluation car back to the
dealership showing just 4.5l/100km
on the readout that I thought was
respectable and is something that
can surely be improved with a
light throttle and sensible driving
behaviour.
There’s no doubt about the
success of MG in New Zealand
at present, after years with little
product in our market it’s a brand
that has had major resurgence in
recent years. There’s good choice
between petrol only and hybrid
or electric, which is a part of the
market that has taken off with a
hiss and a roar in recent times.

set on 6.19ha, built in 1910 and extended in 1920 with a
sympathetic recent renovation with modernised kitchen,
bathrooms and internal access garage, thus repurposed for a
modern lifestyle.
The distinctive features from a bygone era cannot be
replicated - quality materials, high level of craftmanship,
open fires and generous stud heights and room proportions
breathes elegance.
Surrounded by spacious green lawns and mature trees, the
460sqm home consists of six bedrooms, three bathrooms,
formal dining room, drawing room, family lounge, and triple
car garaging.
An indoor heated swimming pool in the garden adds to the
appeal of the property with an elevated sunny disposition
with outstanding mountain views over a copse of redwood,
oaks, silver birch and Oregon. The ‘coup de grace is nearly
200 rhododendrons, many 80 years or older - a rare find in a
magic place just 40 minutes to Christchurch airport, and just
5 minutes from Darfield.

What to ask a real estate agent
Selling a home is a big life decision, both
financially and emotionally. The journey
can be a roller coaster, which is why
finding a licensed real estate agent you feel
comfortable with is so important.
“Remember, you’re looking for the
person who you’re going to trust to sell
what’s likely to be your biggest asset. Their
success (or failure) will have a marked
impact on your new life plan,” says the
Real Estate Authority (REA).
New Zealand has about 15,000 real
estate agents who help people navigate
big-deal transactions every day.
“The trick is to find the one that will be
best for your situation”.
If you’re going to get the best out of your
real estate agent – and they’re going to get
the best price and conditions for your
property – then you need
to put the work in before
you sign with anyone. That
means basing your decision
on more than gut feel or the
fact that their office was easy
to park outside.
You need someone who
understands what it takes
to sell a property like yours
and a proven track record to
show for it. You also need
to feel comfortable with
them personally – if
you don’t find them
pleasant to deal
with then buyers
may not enjoy
the experience either.
If you’re not sure how to get the ball
rolling, ask the agent the following
questions:
- What do you know about my
neighbourhood? How are sales in this area
and who is buying?
- Do you work independently or with
other agents?
- What kind of advertising or marketing
do you use – and which ones will work for
my property? What extra marketing costs
will I have to pay?
- What are your commission rates? Are
you open to negotiation?
- Do you have testimonials or references
from people whose properties you have
sold in the last three months?
- What do you recommend I do to
prepare my home for sale?
- Why should I hire you?
Asking these questions helps you
form a picture of the agent’s experience,
knowledge and how they structure their
business.
These days you’d expect an agent’s
marketing plan to have an online focus
that includes major property websites and
social media. Find out what the marketing
plan will cost and ask them to explain
their rationale – you’re the one paying for
this service, after all.
Remember that you can negotiate on
the marketing costs and commission –
don’t be afraid to ask the agents if they
are interested in an incentive-based
commission, where they will earn more
commission if they sell your property
above a certain price.
Once you’ve found the agent you think
you’d like to work with, check them out
on the Real Estate Authority’s (REA)
online public register, which will tell you
if the agent holds a current licence. This is
important because it’s illegal to carry out
real estate agency work without a licence
and if you deal with an unlicensed person
the REA will be unable to help you if
things go wrong.
When you’ve decided on an agent, the
terms and conditions of your contract will
be set out in an agency agreement that
you both sign. This is a legal document,
so make sure you get advice from a lawyer
and that you understand your rights and
responsibilities.

King-sized comfort
The sense of space this home offers is sure to impress. The huge open-plan living room will host your family and
friends with ease over the upcoming holiday season, with the equally impressive lounge providing a quiet place to
relax and unwind. Multiple doors from both rooms open onto the sizeable deck, creating a seamless indoor/outdoor
flow to the large garden. The central kitchen features stone benchtops, a 1 1/2 oven, double fridge space and a walkin
pantry. The bedroom configuration has one of the four double bedrooms situated away from the others, making
it a perfect guest room or home office. This home can be temperature-controlled by the ducted heated and cooling
system, but for that extra cosy feeling during the winter months, the log burner is a treat. The double garage has a
handy drive-thru door to the rear utility and off-street trailer parking area.

Looking for a Property?
What really counts
You are in the market for a new property,
scrolling the Internet, examining
properties for sale and zeroing in on those
with potential. They might be in locations
that offer cheaper land, larger houses, or
convenience to work or school. You may
have visited show homes and open homes
becoming confused, overwhelmed or
swept away with emotional factors like
having everything new, or extra features
such as three car garaging.
To be happy with your choice, list the
features that you need, considering:
• Family space – Is there room for
the children to play indoors and for
television and entertainment units?
Should this be open plan or separated?
• Kitchen – What needs to be in your
kitchen? How serious are you about
a butler’s pantry? Is it a whim or
something that offers a practical solution
to the way you use your kitchen?
• Bedroom sizes – What are optimum
sizes? Smaller bedrooms may translate
to slightly lower building costs while
extra space can be useful. When looking
at existing homes, consider whether the
size of each bedroom is sufficient.
• Garaging – A standard double garage
once two cars are parked there offers
little space for the toys. What toys
do you have and could they live with
the lawnmower in a garden shed, a
cheaper option to three car garaging?
If the budget allows and a larger garage
with workshop is important, make it a
selection priority.
• Size of land – Lifestyle properties offer
space for children, pets, hobbies, an
expansive garden and perhaps a homerun
business but they require work so
are not for everyone and a compact
section might be more sensible if a tight
budget or busy lifestyle.
• Bathrooms – Second and third
bathrooms are great in homes with
teenagers and a wet shower room is
ideal for young children. A bath might
be fashionable though is often not used
and its absence could mean a more
spacious bathroom.
• Laundry – Would a laundry in the
garage do the job?
• Storage – How much storage do you
need? Weigh up what can truly be
stored in the garage once vehicles are
in, a preference in winter. Garages vary
in size so check the size to ensure your
vehicles will fit. Look also at where
else the house offers storage capacity
such as in hall cupboards, a large hot
water cylinder cupboard, wardrobes
(check their width and depth), walkin
robe, attic storage trusses, as well as
the potential for hooks and shelving
in the garage for bikes, tools, garden
equipment and even kayaks.
• Off-street parking – How many
vehicles can be parked on the driveway?
Will this space be sufficient?
• Garden - Is there sufficient space
for your children to play or for
entertaining?
A checklist will allow you to determine
what will suit your needs, the point of
the exercise, saving you time looking at
properties or potential house designs
while assisting you to decide whether
to buy a new or existing home with
both options having advantages and
disadvantages.

experience”

What do you have to tell potential
buyers when selling your house?
When you’ve lived in a property for a
while it’s easy to forget some of its quirks.
You might be used to the fact that the
front gate doesn’t shut properly, or that
the bathroom windows need fixing. Any
potential buyers will be able to spot issues
like this when they inspect the property –
and can choose to fix them if they purchase
it. But it’s a lot harder for them to identify
other things you might have forgotten
about, like the fact that you didn’t bother
getting the appropriate consents from the
council when you built the deck 25 years
ago.
You might think the deck is fine, but you
need to front up about the consent issue,
not least because it’s the decent thing to do.
“When you’re selling a property you are
legally obliged to share all the relevant
information about it,” says the Real Estate
Agents Authority (REAA).
“If work has been done on the property
during your ownership, either by you or
someone else, the standard terms of the
sale and purchase agreement require the
seller to warrant that any legally required
permits or consents were obtained. If you
knowingly fail to disclose unconsented
works, you are in breach of contract. This
means there is a risk that the sale could fall
over or that you could run into problems
prior to settlement. Even worse, the buyer
could take you to court for breach of
warranty.”
Your first step should be to discuss the
issue with your licensed real estate agent
and your lawyer. They are likely to advise
that you are better off to disclose anything
unconsented, or to strike out the applicable
vendor warranties clause in the sale and
purchase agreement.
“Once the real estate agent is aware of the
situation, they are bound by their Code of
Conduct to disclose it to any prospective
buyers. If you tell them about the deck or
any other issues to do with the property,
but ask them not to tell anyone, they are
required to stop working for you.”
Similar disclosure issues can arise over
more sensitive matters. Some sellers worry
about whether or not to tell an agent or
prospective buyers about an issue that
doesn’t relate to the physical state of the
property – such as it being the scene of a
murder, suicide or violent crime.
Here, deciding what to disclose is less
straightforward.
“The REAA advises agents to take a
cautious approach and to consider each
situation on its facts, while recognising the
individual circumstances.”
The High Court has said that a more
recent event, especially one that might
have gained some notoriety in the local
neighbourhood, may have more bearing on
a prospective buyer’s view of the property
than a historic one. The location of the
event (whether it took place in the grounds
of the property or inside the house) and
whether the property has been lived in since
it happened, as well as the likely reaction
of potential buyers, should also be taken
into account. The death of someone from
natural causes at the property does not
need to be disclosed, as this is considered
an everyday occurrence.
“If you are in this situation as a seller, it’s
best to discuss what to do with your real
estate agent.”
“They cannot tell prospective buyers
without your consent – and if they decide
that a sensitive issue should be disclosed
but you don’t agree, then they must cease
to act for you.”
Whatever the situation, whether it’s
unconsented work or a tragic event, honesty
is the best policy. Talk to your agent about
how the disclosure will be handled. There
is no need to advertise the information
or tell everyone who wanders along to an
open home, but potential buyers who have
indicated an interest in making an offer
must be told.

Create your home office
space with purpose
27
Not everyone has returned to working at
an office or business space, and the benefits of
working from home are still advantageous for
some people. However, making do with a small
desk tucked away in a corner or a makeshift
office space is no longer ideal. Your home office
space’s main requirement is that it works for
you and ensures productivity. Apart from its
functionality, it must be comfortable, practical
and aesthetically pleasing as it is still part of
your home.
The location of your office space is a
significant consideration. Choose a quiet area
of your home in either a dedicated room or
a private place where you can take necessary
video calls and work uninterrupted. If possible,
place your workstation to make the most of
natural lighting or ensure there is optimal
artificial lighting.
Have your workstation arranged with all
the necessary equipment but avoid clutter and
distractions. Your work area may include room
for your desk, chair, laptop, printer and suitable
storage to keep your items organised and close
at hand.
Personalise your space but choose a simple
style with minimum décor to keep you focused
and motivated. For example, you can include
plants, wall art, shelving, colourful rugs, and
storage containers. However, be mindful that
wall art may be visible during a video call. For
those with limited space, it might be best to
choose a multifunctional desk and versatile
workstation that the family can use.
Look after your health and well-being by
choosing an ergonomic chair. Your chair can
still be stylish, but it must be comfortable
and help you to maintain good posture. Most
ergonomic chairs offer adjustable seat height
and tilt adjustment for the back and headrest. If
you are using your laptop for an extended time,
don’t be tempted to work from the couch.
Having the option to work from home can
significantly improve your work-life balance.
Therefore, as working from home continues to
be commonplace, keep up your productivity
and motivation by ensuring you have a suitable
workspace that meets your needs.
