Ice swimmer clocks

two world records

WORLD RECORDS: Hannah Drury won two gold medals at the world ice swimming championships in France.

• By Susan Sandys

THE COMPETITION was as

hot as the water was cold, but

Hannah Drury still managed to

swim her way to world record

success.

The Rolleston 44-year-old

said four months of bathing

in her garage chest freezer had

paid off, as she arrived home

last week with two gold medals

from the world ice-swimming

championships in Samoëns,

France.

The medals were for the 100mbutterfly,

where she recorded an

age-group world record time of

1min 33.69sec, and the 100m

individual medley, where she

recorded an age-group world

record time of 1min 33.07sec.

“I am really proud of what

I achieved and I didn’t think

I would swim as fast as I did.

I certainly never expected to

win two gold medals in record

times,” Drury said.

Her training regime involved

sitting in the freezer filled with

ice-cold water for up to six

minutes a day.

Eleven per

cent rent

hike leaves

tenants

struggling

• By Susan Sandys

TENANTS throughout the

district are feeling the pinch as

landlords hike up rental prices.

Trade Me property spokesperson

Gavin Lloyd said latest figures

showed the median rental for

Selwyn was $600 in December,

which was 11 per cent higher than

December 2021.

Rolleston residents have reported

on social media in recent

weeks of being told their annual

rent increase was up by $80 a

week.

One single mum was searching

for a two-to-three bedroom home

after she heard that day her rent

was going up $70.

“I have talked to the property

manager and was just told it’s due

to interest rate hikes and in line

with the market,” she said.

Another woman commented

her rent had increased $80 a week.

She also understood it was in line

with the current market rental

rate.

“Absolutely disgusting that

this is how things are for tenants

now,” she said.

SELWYN WILL get a social

agencies hub as part of a

nationwide network.

Social Development Minister

Carmel Sepuloni has confirmed

a tender process for a Heartlands

hub is under way.

It will be one of four new hubs,

part of a 23-hub network across

rural and isolated communities

in New Zealand. The other new

hubs will be in Taumarunui,

Taihape and Tūrangi.

It comes after Selwyn MP

Nicola Grigg wrote to Sepuloni

late last year, saying the district

urgently needed a social agencies

office that could be easily

accessed by people in the district.

“With the size and rapid

growth of our region, it is

unacceptable that people must

travel to Christchurch to talk to

anyone in person,” said Grigg.

“Selwyn is the fastest growing

region in the country, and the

minister has completely failed to

consider the size of our region.”

Grigg’s request to Sepuloni

was backed by social agencies in

Selwyn.

A survey she carried

out showed 86 per cent of

respondents believe there is a

need for a Government-funded

multi-service agency in the

district.

Grigg said this

week that while a

Heartlands hub

was a good place

to start, what

the Government

planned fell well

short of what was

needed.

The hubs are Ministry of

Bid to open up land for

1670 homes likely to fail

• By Susan Sandys

CARTER GROUP’S plans for

1670 residential sections on

the undeveloped side of Dunns

Crossing Rd in Rolleston are

likely to be rejected by the

district council.

Hearing commissioner Paul

Thomas has recommended the

district council decline Plan

Change 81 and Plan Change 82

which, if approved, would push

Rolleston’s town boundary out

to the west.

It follows the district council

last year adopting an earlier

hearing commissioner recommendation

to decline Carter

Group’s application of Plan

Change 73, for about 2100

homes in two blocks on Dunns

Crossing Rd.

PC81 would impact 28ha

west of Dunns Crossing Rd and

north of Selwyn Rd. It would

allow for about 350 homes.

PC82, which impacts 109ha

on Dunns Crossing Rd, Brookside

Rd and Edwards Rd, would

allow for about 1320 homes.

Thomas said in a joint recommendation

for the applications

released on Friday the plan

changes did not meet all the

requirements of the National

Policy Statement on Urban Development,

including that they

did not “form part of a wider

growth and development capacity

strategy.”

“In terms of the statutory

assessment of the plan changes,

I find that approval of the plan

changes would not assist the

council in achieving integrated

management of the effects of

use, development or protection

of land and associated natural

and physical resources of the

district,” Thomas said.

The district council will consider

the recommendation at a

forthcoming meeting. Generally

such recommendations are automatically

adopted. But Carter

Group may appeal the decision

at the Environment Court, as it

did for PC73. This decision was

still pending.

Long recovery for 10-year-old after

• By Susan Sandys

A SOUTHBRIDGE boy faces

a slow recovery after being

seriously injured by a lawn

irrigator while playing at

Southbridge Domain.

The district council has removed

all of its travelling roto

rainer irrigators from operation

and is investigating the accident.

Ten-year-old Jayden sustained

a depressed skull fracture and

bleed on the brain after being hit

on his head by a rotating arm of

the machine.

He was visiting the domain

playground with his grandmother

Angela Slade and eightyear-old

cousin Emily.

Angela said the lunchtime visit

to the park suddenly became a

life-and-death situation after

Jayden was attracted to water

around the travelling roto-rainer

irrigator in hot weather. He was

struck as he stood up after slipping.

Angela said at first she had not

noticed Jayden had wandered

about 15m away to play under

the irrigator on an adjoining

rugby field. As she unpacked

food onto a picnic table, she

heard “a horrible, horrible

scream”.

“That’s when I turned around,

he was just getting back up again

and the bar nearly got him again,

I’m like ‘Get out, get out!’”

Angela said while she had earlier

pointed out to the children

a single caution sign nearby

saying ‘Potentially Dangerous

Equipment’, this had obviously

not been enough to keep Jayden

away.

She had phoned the district

council to tell them about the

accident, and staff removed the

irrigator from operation. It was

now parked up in bushes nearby.

Jayden was in extreme pain

after the accident and began

vomiting. He was taken to

Christchurch Hospital by ambulance.

Mum Sarah Whittaker said

doctors at first thought he had

severe concussion, but they were

as surprised as she was when a

CT scan showed a depressed skull

fracture and bleed on the brain.

Last week he had a craniotomy,

where a 10cm long piece of bone

from his forehead was removed

and replaced with a plate. He

may have to have more surgeries

to replace the plate as he grows.

He was discharged at the

weekend, and is expected to

make a full recovery. But that

recovery will be slow as he

suffers the head injury effects of

fatigue, headaches, irritability

and light sensitivity. He will

be at school only part-time

throughout term one.

SERIOUS INJURY: Jayden was taken

by ambulance to Christchurch Hospital

after being hit by the arm of a roto rainer

irrigator at Southbridge Domain. A scan

revealed a depressed skull fracture. The

district council has since parked up the

irrigator (below).

irrigator accident

Whittaker said she was glad

to hear the district council had

removed all such irrigators from

operation in parks and reserves.

She said while the caution sign

had been pointed out to Jayden,

he would not have absorbed the

information due to a learning

disability and dyslexia.

“I don’t want it to happen to

anybody else,” she said.

District council group manager

infrastructure and property

Murray Washington said while in

operation the irrigator had three

caution signs “placed at different

points around the reserve to

alert people approaching from

different directions”

Washington said the district

council had the irrigators in three

locations, but had now removed

them. The other two locations

had been the Dunsandel and

Leeston reserves.

“This type of irrigator is

common in rural areas and has

been used by the council for

around 30 years without incident

to our knowledge,” Washington

said.

“We plan to replace them

with modern technology water

cannon type irrigators, which

will minimise any future risk to

the public.

“We are really sorry to

hear about the incident at the

Southbridge reserve. We will

investigate it thoroughly and this

will also inform a further review

of our maintenance activities in

our parks and reserves.”

He also said the council had

notified WorkSafe of the incident,

and WorkSafe advised it has

recorded the notification and

does not intend to investigate.

A sign at the site warned

people to stay away.

West Melton resident Meg

Knowler told the Selwyn Times

she and her partner, who worked

in Dunsandel, had been looking

for a rental property for the last

six weeks after returning from

Australia. They were living with

her partner’s parents but wanted

to get their own place before they

had their baby, due in July. They

were wanting a rental property

for about six months as they

looked around for a home to buy.

Knowler said their budget was

$450 a week. Prices in Rolleston

were too high, at around $540 for

a small house and $670 for three

to four bedrooms. So they were

looking further south; however,

they had not been successful with

the three places they had applied

for so far.

Knowler believed landlords

were favouring tenants who

could stay for a year or more.

Trade Me’s December rental

price index released last week

shows the $600 weekly median

rent for Selwyn in December

was higher than the median for

Canterbury, which was $520, and

higher than the national median

of $580.

The index shows, with the

exception of Wellington, every

region saw rents climb in 2022.

Said Drury: “I definitely think

it helped, because once I got into

the lake, which was about three

degrees, I didn’t bat an eyelid

at the cold. It was more about

getting on with fast swimming.”

The competition was “fierce”

with more than 350 swimmers

from about 40 countries.

The lake water temperature

had been “perfect” at 3-4 deg C,

in spite of unseasonably mild

weather across Europe.

The New Zealand team of

eight swimmers finished ninth

on the medal table, bringing

home 10 golds, four silvers and

two bronzes.

Drury said she and her team

members had an “awesome

time” in Samoëns and enjoyed

the supportive and friendly

atmosphere in “the frozen

Some races were held at night

under spotlight to the sound of a

live brass band playing.

“The New Zealand team were

well recognised, and the other

teams loved how we were so

tight-knit and had travelled so


far to be there.”

A memorable moment for the

team was their 4x250m relay on

the last day of the event, when

supporters crowded on the

hillside overlooking the lake as

heavy snow was falling.

“The camaraderie and team

spirit was awesome, the team

were always there supporting

each other, whether it was

ceremony.”

was when one of the team

EARLY DATA has revealed

the new trap library launched

by Ellesmere Sustainable

Agriculture Inc is already

making a dent in the local pest

population.

The trap library is part of

ESAI’s Tinaku project. In the

first three months, it has already

removed 83 rats, 36 possums,

24 hedgehogs, a weasel, a stoat

and some mice from Ellesmere

farms.

The automatic AT220 traps

have proven to be hugely

effective, with one single trap

removing 15 possums from Ian

Lochhead’s farm.

Lochhead says the trap has

wildlife and plants in those key

areas.

He has been using an

irresistible combination of dried

rabbit, peanut butter and eggs

to attract the pests, as well as

specialised possum bait and

visual flour/cinnamon mix to

entice the possums.

Fearn says the library is also

grateful for the support from

experienced trapper Dave Tilson,

who is well known in the district

for his pest control efforts.

Tilson has traps out around

his property, as well as five

neighbouring farms.

The ESAI trap library launched

in September last year with a

workshop and information day.

ESAI partnered with Pest

awareness of pest problems

in the area and to try and

encourage local farmers to get

PFBP aims to create a pest-free

buffer around the Taumutu area

to minimise pests moving along

Kaitoreti Spit to reinfest Banks

The trap library includes

Suspected murder suicide of elderly

Three years after his

parents died in a

suspected murdersuicide,

one question

still haunts their

youngest son. Sam

Sherwood reports

SEAN FEARY was sitting at

home in Washington when his

29-year-old daughter called from

Christchurch. Clearly distressed

she immediately said, “Grandma

and Granddad have been

murdered”.

Feary tried to reassure her

and said she was wrong and that

they were fine. She then told him

about news articles that showed

his parents’ home in Christchurch

and reports that two bodies

had been found.

He told her to head straight to

the scene and talk to the police officers

there. When she arrived, she

called her dad again and he spoke

with a police officer at the scene.

The officer explained how

Feary’s father, Bill Feary, 80, had

called the police about 4am on

September 30, 2019, and told the

operator he had killed his ailing

77-year-old wife Jill, and was

intending on self harming.

A police negotiation team and

armed offenders squad rushed

to the property immediately.

After breaking in they found the

couple dead.

The district’s top police officer

said at the time the deaths were

an “absolute tragedy”.

Feary, speaking to the Herald

on Sunday for the first time,

says he has no doubt the couple

planned their deaths.

“To me it’s like a Romeo and

Juliet story. Mum couldn’t take

anymore and he couldn’t live

without her. She was his whole

life.

“I couldn’t have asked for

better parents.”

Sean Feary was born in

Wellington but the family,

including his older brother,

soon moved to Christchurch.

Bill Feary, who was the boys’

stepfather, raised them from

when Feary was about eight.

“Dad made me the man I am

today, he was awesome,” Feary

says.

“They always took us on little

holidays and things like that,

it was just normal Kiwi life. It

MISSED: Sean Feary (above)

and Bill Feary planned their

deaths.

was great.”

Bill Feary spent most of his

career in broadcasting as a rigger,

before moving to Christchurch

and working for a flooring

company and then taking up a

job as a bus driver before retiring.

Jill Feary worked at a local

clothing apparel company until

she retired.

Sean Feary moved to the US

when he was 30, but kept in constant

contact with his parents.

Jill Feary’s retirement was

marred by health issues including

chronic obstructive pulmonary

disease – an inflammatory lung

disease that causes obstructed

airflow from the lungs – as well

as a virus that injured her heart.

This was followed by breast cancer,

which required her to have a

mastectomy in her mid-60s.

Despite the major operation,

she made sure she was able to

travel to see her son and celebrate

his 40th birthday.

However, she never fully healed

from the surgery, with complications

that would continue for the

last 12 years of her life. Near the

end, she had pneumonia.

Feary says his mum was too

stubborn to have someone come

and care for her.

“There was no way that mum

was going to have someone

changing a nappy or bathing her

because she went through it with

my grandmother and there was

no dignity in that,” he says.

“She was definitely suffering,

and I could tell when I spoke to

her she was in a lot of pain.”

Her health issues continued

to worsen and she had to visit

the hospital two or three times a

week.

“She loved the Christchurch

Hospital staff,” her son says.

“They did nothing but take

care of her.”

Sean Feary is adamant his parents

planned their deaths.

Bill Feary, who took on the

role of caring for Jill, became

more protective of his wife as her

condition worsened.

couple ‘a Romeo and Juliet story’

“He didn’t want her stressing

out, didn’t want her doing too

much. He did all the cooking,

he babied her, and he really took

care of mum a lot, above and

beyond.

“He adored her, she was his

soulmate.”

Bill Feary would often email

him with updates about his

mother’s health. The last email

was to inform him she had

pneumonia.

Feary got a call from his mum

in March 2019 asking him to

come home as she missed him

and wanted to see him. He did

so, spending a few weeks with

the couple, and he said aside

from the health issues the couple

appeared to be fine.

“Dad was still goofy as ever.”

Feary’s last conversation

with his parents – who had

10 grandchildren and nine

great-grandchildren – was just a

“normal phone call”, he recalls.

“Mum and Dad were just

joking around.”

He was supposed to call them

the following weekend but

forgot. The next day he was on

the phone with the policeman

who was telling him about his

parents’ deaths.

“It was such a shock; I just

went numb.”

After consoling his wife and

children, he booked flights and

was in Christchurch within two

days.

Immediately after touching

down, he went to identify his

parents at Christchurch Hospital

before going to their home.

“The police were brilliant. I

got there and it was like nothing

had happened; they repaired the

house.”

In the bedroom Feary would

stay in when he visited was a

large bag on the bed. Inside

was his children’s favourite

chocolate, jet plane lollies for

him, socks for his wife, and

photos of his children. He is

convinced his mum left it all for

him shortly before she died.

“I know Mum knew what

was going on. Dad wouldn’t

have done that, that was Mum

through and through.”

A will was also left in the

living room.

Feary spent about a month

in Christchurch, dealing with

police and lawyers and sorting

the family home.

“I didn’t really have time to

grieve. My whole time there

was just dealing with what had

happened.”

He credits Victim Support

staff for helping him come to

terms with his parents’ death

while he was in the country.

Three years on, Feary, now

54, is still coming to terms

with what happened. A private

person, he does not like

speaking about it too often

and tries to stay busy, but

admits there are times when

the emotions just come to him,

seemingly out of nowhere.

“I miss them every day. I

will be driving to work in my

van and it’ll just hit me again.

Sometimes I have a tear and a

wee bit of a cry and I’ll be like

why? Just out of the blue. It’s one

of those things,” he says.

“I’m just grateful that I’ve got

great kids and my wife has been

nothing but supportive.”

Asked how he feels towards

his father, he says he loves him

and holds no ill will for what

happened.

“Dad was pretty healthy and

he just would not want to live

without Mum. I don’t know

many men that would’ve gone

through what he went through

and completely stick behind

Mum 100 per cent in the way he

took care of her.

“They loved each other so

much.”

There are still some

unanswered questions for Feary,

which he hopes a coroner’s

report will one day solve.

But the most important

question, that still haunts him, is

about his mum.

“I want to make sure my mum

never suffered and that she was

at peace.

“It would be closure because I

keep thinking about it.”

Farm worker murder: Chef appeals

• By Kurt Bayer

A CHEF FOUND guilty of

murdering his cousin’s husband

while he slept is appealing his

conviction.

Tony Grant Waldron, 29, was

found dead at his Gardiners Rd,

Rakaia, home, on September 18,

2019, after failing to show up for

5.30am milking.

Waldron’s wife Alana Jane

Bamber, 35, and her cousin,

Joshua Morris-Bamber, 28, were

found guilty of murder by a jury

in October last year.

Now, Morris-Bamber is appealing

against his conviction

and sentence.

An appeal notice has been filed

with the Court of Appeal. No

hearing dates have yet been set.

At the trial at the High Court

in Christchurch last year, the

Crown described the story leading

up to the murder as complex.

Bamber was furious with her

estranged husband Waldron,

claiming he had been unfaithful

with one of her bridesmaids and

alleging he had “beat the s***”

out of her days before the killing.

On September 17, hotel chef

Morris-Bamber went drinking

after work and then visited

Bamber at the Gloucester St,

Christchurch, flat she was staying

at.

They chatted, the Crown said

APPEAL: Joshua Dylan Morris-Bamber is appealing his conviction and sentence for the murder of Tony Waldron (top

right). Alana Jane Bamber (right) was also convicted of the murder.

PHOTOS: NZ HERALD

during the trial, for about 15

minutes.

Then, about 11pm, Morris-

Bamber sent a Facebook message

to Bamber, which was allegedly

seen by a witness, and said:

“What is Tony’s address? I need

to get some anger out”.

The essential piece of evidence

– that Morris-Bamber denies

– was not able to be retrieved

because both offenders deleted

content from their phones.

Morris-Bamber’s brother Isak

Morris-Bamber also set off in the

night to stop him from hurting

Waldron, but after his partner

begged him to not get involved,

Isak returned home.

Bamber also told Isak to leave

his brother to it, adding “better

one life than two”.

Morris-Bamber drove for

about 45 minutes south on

SH1 to Waldron’s farm, with

cellphone data and CCTV from

NZTA cameras plotting his

movements.

His car was captured passing a

golf course going in the direction

of Gardiners Rd at 12.56am.

The same car is seen passing

the same golf course again, heading

back to Rakaia, at 1.04am.

With driving time, the Crown

said Morris-Bamber had “at

least four minutes” at Waldron’s

house, “ample time” to go inside

and fatally assault him while he

was sleeping.

A post-mortem examination

suggests Waldron was struck

by a solid weapon at least three

times on the side of his head, ear

and neck.

Waldron suffered a fractured

skull – a 4cm x 2cm fragment of

bone was dislodged - along with

multiple cracks and a broken jaw.

Morris-Bamber left at speed,

stopping briefly to hide “forensically

important items” like the

murder weapon and bloodied

clothing that he would later move

again. They were never found.

Justice Nation sentenced

Morris-Bamber to life imprisonment

with a minimum period of

imprisonment of 16 years.

He sentenced Bamber to life

imprisonment with a minimum

period of imprisonment of 13

years.

Police assisting

FENZ after youth

trigger fire alarms

• By Susan Sandys

FIRE AND Emergency New Zealand

is working with police to stop regular

malicious sprinkler system activations to

Te Puna Wai youth justice residence at

Rolleston.

Rolleston Volunteer Fire Brigade

members are potentially being diverted

from other emergency callouts when they

respond to the false alarm callouts. Over

the last five weeks there has been a high

number, including 13 so far this year to

January 29.

FENZ recently met with facility

operator Oranga Tamariki on the issue.

FENZ community risk manager

Canterbury Dean Harker said personnel

were now working with police to educate

the youth responsible.

They were also working closely with

fire alarm installation and monitoring

specialists, staff at the facility and

Rolleston brigade members.

“This includes looking at the current

fire alarm sprinkler system and how it is

activated,” Harker said.

Last month Oranga Tamariki general

manager service delivery Parani Wiki

said there were sprinklers in every room

at

Te Puna Wai, including bedrooms.

“While the sprinklers are considered

tamper proof, there have been instances

in the past few weeks where young

people have been able to activate them,”

Wiki said.

ATHLETES FROM across

New Zealand descended on

Corsair Bay on Sunday for the

Canterbury Classic Triathlon and

Duathlon.

Environment Canterbury and

independent water quality testing

leading up to the event – which

doubled as the South Island age

group championships – showed

no contamination in the bay,

giving the Canterbury Triathlon

Club the confidence to proceed,

race director John Newsom said.

“It’s well known that you

should not go open swimming

for 24 to 48 hours at any venues

after heavy rain where there

may be storm water run-off. In

the last five years, there have

only been eight tests showing

contamination in Corsair Bay

and six of them are linked to

testing done directly after rain,”

Newsom said.

A wide variety of races were

held, including the aquathon

(swim-run) for children aged 5-9

and the main Olympic distance

triathlon and duathlon, where

the hilly route to Orton Bradley

and back was covered by the

cycle leg before a punishing run

around the trails and footpaths

between Corsair Bay and

Lyttelton. Saxon Morgan and

Brea Roderick won the Olympic

triathlon while Sam Anderson

Quest for answers to the

universe’s fastest explosions

SOLVING THE mystery of

what powers the fastest

explosions in the universe

is a passion for Canterbury

University researcher Dr Ryan

Ridden-Harper.

The astrophysicist and

postdoctoral researcher’s latest

project is taking him to the

extreme ends of physics in a

quest to uncover explanations for

the universe’s fastest explosions,

which space telescopes detect as

flashes or bursts that rapidly fade

away.

These types of transient

astronomical events come and

go so quickly that they are easily

missed and difficult to observe.

Ridden-Harper says while it is

thought exploding stars, massive

neutron stars and black holes

could generate the explosions,

no-one knows for sure what

powers them.

“I’ve always been curious about

how the natural world works,”

he said.

“After I first looked out into

space, the mystery and wonder

captured me. While all aspects

of astronomy are fascinating, I

found the idea of watching stars

in galaxies millions of

light years away explode

and change before our eyes

incredible. More amazing still

is the extreme energies and

physics that are involved in these

explosions.”

Ridden-Harper has been

awarded a Te Putea Rangahau

Marsden Fast-Start grant

of $360,000 to help extend

knowledge of the phenomena.

“I’m excited to be starting this

project, which represents the

culmination of what I’ve been

working on since I was a PhD

student in 2016,” he said.

“I’ve spent a lot of time

building the tools we need,

and now we’re ready for this

next phase.” The Marsden

grant will be used to kick

start a Canterbury University

astrophysics research group,

supporting a number of students.

Using novel analysis

techniques, the research team

will delve into archival data

from two space telescopes –

Kepler and Nasa’s Transiting

Exoplanet Survey Satellite – to

find previously undetected

transient events and create a

comprehensive survey of the

fastest explosions in the universe.

“Most transient events we

know to exist last for at least a

couple of days,” Ridden-Harper

said.

“With this project, we hope to

find ones that will fade away in

brightness in a day or less down

to an hour or so.

“Working with international

collaborators, we will then sort

through our discoveries to find

fast transients that occurred in

distant galaxies.

“We can then work with our

theoretical astrophysicists to

delve deeper into what could

be powering these really fast

explosions.

“In this project we’ll use

telescopes around the world to

follow up our discoveries. These,

combined with the Kepler and

TESS data, cover large sections

of the sky over a long timeframe,

making this the most in-depth

survey of its kind to date in a

rapidly evolving area

of astronomy.”

Musical 'Month of Sundays'

hitting the stage

Sunshine and music will come together in Selwyn this month, as the district kicks

off a 'Month of Sundays'—a celebration of local musicians and bands.

The free, family friendly entertainment will be available every Sunday afternoon

from 1-2.30pm throughout February, and people are encouraged to bring a picnic to

sit and enjoy the show.

The performances will begin at the Lincoln Library Green on 5 February with the

Ministry of Sound, who are renowned for showcasing local talent. The Canterbury

Cellists will then take the stage the following weekend at the Lincoln Library,

playing everything from Disney to pop and classical.

The music will move to Te Ara Ātea on 19 February for the award-winning Rolleston

Brass. The 30-piece band will play a variety of music and musical styles for

families to enjoy.

A Month of Sundays will have its last performance on 26 February at Te Ara Ātea

with the popular trio, The Port Hillbillies playing a mixture of Bluegrass, Old Time

and Americana.

The Month of Sundays is part of the district’s action-packed Summer in Selwyn

programme, which features more than 60 different activities for residents to enjoy.

New members sought for Selwyn Emergency

Support Team

Selwyn residents who want to make a positive difference in their community during

an emergency are being urged to come to a free information evening at Te Ara Ātea in

Rolleston on Monday 13 February, 7–8pm.

The Selwyn Emergency Support Team (SEST) is looking for at least 10 new

volunteers to join the group, and is holding an information session this month to help

potential candidates learn what’s involved.

SEST is a group of community volunteers of different backgrounds and skills, with a

common commitment to supporting local communities when emergencies happen.

The team is part of the Selwyn Civil Defence response and is managed by the Council

Emergency Management Team.

Deputy Team Leader Angie Milner says SEST is looking for adults of all ages

and backgrounds.

“The most important things are that you are a people person and can stay calm under

pressure. We provide all the training, so you don’t need previous experience. If you

think you’d like to be a part of SEST, this information evening is for you.”

SEST has been running for almost five years and has been deployed to a variety of

emergencies. This included opening a Civil Defence Centre during recent flood events

in Selwyn, conducting welfare checks on the West Coast, and helping other agencies

during the pandemic to deliver meals and make telephone welfare calls to elderly and

vulnerable residents.

“We train every fortnight on Monday evenings from 7 to 9pm,” Angie says. “We’re a

very community-minded team and we’d really like more volunteers to join us.”

To register for the evening and find more information, visit selwyn.govt.nz/events

The invoice covers the period from 1 January 2023 to 31 March 2023, and is

due for payment (without penalty) by 15 March 2023.

If you do not receive your invoice, please contact our Customer Services team

on 0800 SELWYN (735 996) or email contactus@selwyn.govt.nz.

Helpful tips to manage your rates

1. Check your eligibility for a rates rebate

If your income has recently changed, you may be eligible for a rebate

through the Government’s Rates Rebate Scheme.

The scheme provides a rebate of up to $700. It is calculated on your

household income, the amount of rates you are charged, and the number of

dependents you have. You must have lived at the property at the start of the

rating year (1 July 2022).

To apply for the Rates Rebate Scheme, visit Council’s main office in

Rolleston, or arrange an appointment at the Darfield, Leeston or Lincoln

Library and Service Centres.

2. Pay by direct debit

Never miss a payment deadline by setting up direct debit payments for your

property and water rates. Direct debit allows the Council to deduct regular

payments from your bank account to pay your rates, on a schedule that

suits your budget. You can arrange your payments to be weekly, fortnightly,

monthly or quarterly.

To set up direct debit, visit selwyn.govt.nz/rateseasypay (for property rates)

and selwyn.govt.nz/watereasypay (for water rates). Alternatively, pick up a

direct debit form from the Council offices or our Library and

Service Centres.

3. Get your rates by email

Reduce paper and be more environmentally friendly by signing up to

receive your rates invoices by email. Setting it up is easy. Just visit

selwyn.govt.nz/change-your-details to update your preferred method.

Driver Mentor programme celebrates

students’ success

The Community Driver Mentor Programme (CDMP) has celebrated the

success of eight Selwyn students receiving their restricted licence.

The programme helps new drivers obtain their restricted or full licence, by

overcoming barriers stopping them from learning how to drive, such as cost

and access to a vehicle or lessons.

The Council provides funding for Proactive Drive Charitable Trust to run the

programme in Selwyn.

The CDMP matches a learner driver with a mentor to practice driving skills

taught at Proactive Drive.

Tim Hartnell, Proactive Drive’s Programme Manager says, “Mentors are

integral to the success of CDMP and we are very grateful for the time and

personal cost our mentors donate so learner drivers can become better, safer

drivers for life.”

The bond between learner and mentor is special and friendships are

often forged.

At the Selwyn graduation at Te Ara Ātea, the students showed their

appreciation for the programme and thanked their mentors.

Graduate, Frederick Toetoe says getting his restricted licence has improved

his self-esteem, motivation and given him more freedom. Having moved from

the North Island, he says the experience helped him to navigate different areas

in Selwyn and Christchurch.

“It has increased my ability to get a job and go to seminars. It is so much

quicker and easier to get to places as I don’t have to wait for buses and it also

means that I can spend more time with my whānau.”

BACKYARD CRITTERS

Legal Matters

It’s a matter

of Minutes vs

Resolutions

Mike Bowie is an ecologist who specialises in entomology

(insects and other invertebrates). Each week he introduces

a new species found in his backyard at Lincoln. His

column aims to raise public awareness of biodiversity, the

variety of living things around us. Check out the full list

of invertebrates found at www.inaturalist.org/projects/

backyard-biodiversity-bugs-in-my-lincoln-section

Larvae of the

large Bityla

defigurata moth

have been

feeding on the

Muehlenbeckia

complexa vine,

planted to

attract copper

butterflies.

While some see a subtle semantic

difference, others see the

important distinction between

minutes and resolutions. Accurate

resolutions are essential in

demonstrating appropriate

standards of trust management

and therefore where a resolution

is inaccurate, the trustees’ position

can be compromised.

In the context of Trusts, the term

minutes and resolutions are often

used interchangeably. However,

there is a difference that trustees

should be aware of:

Minutes, more commonly referred

to in the context of companies,

generally provide a formal

record of the meeting, including

the attendees, the documents

presented, and what was decided.

In comparison, resolutions are

a record of the decision that the

trustees have made regardless of

whether the decision was made at

a formal meeting.

It is likely that at the time your

Trust was established, the lawyer

acting for you recommended that

the Trustees of the Trust hold

an annual trustee meeting. The

minutes of this meeting should be

recorded, and any decisions made

at the annual trustee meeting

should be recorded in Trustee

resolutions. These resolutions may

be useful evidence if the Trust’s

validity is ever questioned.

With a growing number of

challenges brought against trusts,

and the Trusts Act 2019 bringing

increased responsibility for

trustees, the need to demonstrate

proper decision making is

increasingly valuable.

Where our specialist Trust

Management company, TP

Trustees, is working with you, you

have nothing to worry about in that

we will be in contact regarding an

annual trustee meeting, and will

prepare all required documents

for you. If TP Trustees is not a

trustee of your Trust, we can

still help run the annual trustee

meeting, prepare the required

documentation, provide advice,

and assist with any other Trust

related matter that arises.

We provide critical support to

trustees, enabling them to perform

their duties confidently to best

practice standards. We are always

able to answer your ongoing

questions and offer additional

services as required. Get in

contact with us for a no-obligation

consultation

Like a moth to the vine

I LIKE growing native plants in my

backyard because most native plants

attract one or more species of native moth

or butterfly that rely on them for food.

I have been growing a few specimens of

Muehlenbeckia complexa, an attractive

small creeping vine that can be observed

growing outside the Lincoln Library on

Gerald St, to attract the beautiful copper

butterfly.

Unfortunately, I have not observed a

single specimen of the copper butterfly

at home yet, but have seen several on the

outskirts of Lincoln.

The good news is that I have attracted a

large moth called Bityla defigurata whose

larvae also feed on the vine. This is an

endemic moth found throughout New

Zealand where Muehlenbeckia complexa

or Muehlenbeckia australis grows.

The moth is 20mm long, brown with

darker brown head, long mane-like hair

on the thorax and usually striped legs.

So, plant some Muehlenbeckia

complexa and you may be luckier than

me in attracting copper butterflies, but

you will be creating a stepping stone to get

them into our gardens.

Bioblitz on 18 February is almost upon us.

‘This is it’ – Sprintcar drivers rapt to

• By Allan Batt

THIS WEEKEND’S

New Zealand Sprintcar

Championship at Ruapuna

Speedway has attracted 46

competitors – the second largest

in the 52-year history of the

event – with Selwyn drivers

poised to make an impact.

Former winner Jamie Duff has

been somewhat inconsistent this

summer, showing lightening fast

pace but having a string of minor

mechanical issues. Last weekend

the Halswell resident returned

to form, finishing second in the

New Zealand Sprintcar Grand

Prix at Cromwell, but he is under

no illusions how tough this

weekend’s racing will be.

The 32-year-old is keen to grab

another national championship

win, but said it’s a tough proposition.

“You really need everything to

go your way. The 10-lap heat races

will be tough, and every point

on offer is vital. One mechanical

issue, an untimely flat tyre or

getting caught up in someone

else’s crash can make it a tough

road into the finals, but we have

found plenty of speed in the car,

and with the next nationals in

Christchurch being six or seven

years away we really want to give

this a good crack.”

A 30-year veteran, Southbridge

Speedway driver Dave Kerr has

made the switch to sprintcars

and is upbeat about taking part.

Said Kerr: “(Sprintcars) are

big fields, they are big powerful

cars to drive, and a hell of a buzz

too. There is a real neat bunch of

people involved in the class too.

Most of my team were ready for

a change and a challenge – this

is it.”

Early in his career Kerr won

the national minisprint championship,

before moving up into

the powerful midget cars. He

went on to become the most

successful South Island driver in

that section of all time.

Ruapuna club president Rob

Roxburgh is confident that

despite only two South Islanders

winning the championship in

the past 37 years – Bruce Hobbs

in 1986, and Duff in 2015 – there

is enough ability in the mainland

ranks to get onto the podium.

“There is no doubt that the

North Islanders have a slight upper

hand in equipment, and they

are all battle hardened following

an international series up there

in December, but our guys have

also been primed by recent War

of the Wings Series races and I

think it’s going to be a very tight

contest.”

One driver who has returned

‘home’ after spending most of

the summer racing in Auckland

is Prebbleton’s Matthew Leversedge.

He says the northerners

may not have the advantage

they normally do.

PSYCHED: Hometown hero

Jamie Duff is keen to wow

a big Ruapuna crowd again

this weekend.

PHOTOS: MOTORSPORT

FILES

“The weather up north has

made it a really disrupted campaign.

We are rapt to be back

at Ruapuna. I’m pretty familiar

with how the track changes as

the two nights of racing go on.

“A national championship is a

real step up from all other races

in the country. Every time you

hit the track at a nationals is important.

You have to put in five

good heat races, and then be on

top of your game in the feature

to have a shot at it.”

Duff, and Jayden Dodge

and Connor Rangi from

Christchurch.

Roxburgh said that all have

a great chance of making the

finals.

“They are all young and

fast. Several years ago Connor

was the second top qualifier

for the championship at

Cromwell. He registers to his

old hometown of Nelson but

he’s put in plenty of laps at

Ruapuna.

“I think he has the

temperament to do well and

he is being mentored by

American Jonathan Allard.

He’s really talented. We know

that Caleb and Steve won’t be

left wondering. They will give

it there all while Jayden was

very unlucky to be stripped of

third place in last weekends

Grand Prix on a technical

issue. I wouldn’t write these

guys off.”

Roxburgh said three years

of planning has gone into

making it a memorable

occasion.

“We are lucky enough to

have two Americans and 18

North Islanders headed our

way. The V8 powered class

is gaining momentum all

around New Zealand - the

fans love seeing these 800-900

horsepower cars battling

around the 400-metre track.

“We are the only track in

the country where sprintcars

are considered to be ‘the main

class’ and I think that’s why

our championship has such a

strong draw with the teams,”

he said.

• The championship will

be held on Saturday and

Sunday, starting at 6pm.

Folklore causes

upset in the

Premier Mares

• By Joshua Smith

IT WAS A night of upsets at

Addington Raceway on Friday,

headlined by Folklore in the

Gr.2 Garrards ‘Premier Mares’

Championship Mobile Pace.

The Jonny Cox-trained and

driven seven-year-old paid $44.10

to win the night’s 1980m feature

and did it in emphatic style, cruising

away to a comfortable 6-1/4

length victory.

“She has got a good turn of foot,

but it just helps when they are

going hammer and tongs up front

and she was able to sit off the speed

and had one run at them,” Cox

said.

“She got the run to suit and

everything worked out with the favourites

going pretty hard up front.

We were just in the right spot at the

right time. You never expect to win

those sort of races like that, but

everything played into our favour.”

It was Folklore’s first group

victory and Cox said it was just

reward for the consistent pacer.

“She has raced the nicer mares

over the last couple of seasons and

she always tries so hard,” he said.

Cox has now set his sights

on loftier targets, with Folklore

returning to Addington in a

fortnight to contest the Gr.1 Fahey

Fence Hire (51st) NZ Standardbred

Breeders’ Stakes (2600m).

WHEN BEN Waldron reached

the biggest milestone of his

career at Methven on Sunday he

could see the funny side of it.

“That was the slowest century

since Geoff Boycott,” said

Waldron of his 100th career

training success.

Boycott is a famous former

England cricketer, known for

his notoriously slow scoring

rate, and Waldron has taken 27

years of training to get to three

figures.

But in reality it is a heck of an

effort as he has rarely trained

big numbers or lined up a lot of

horses in a season.

And he started 2023 with a

roar. Penny Weight’s win in the

third race at Methven was his

third winner from just 10 starts

so far this term.

“Things are going pretty

well at the moment,” said the


Waldron notches up a century

likeable 50-year-old.

“And I reckon this mare can

continue that. She has a bit of

ability and she isn’t finished yet.”

Waldron says driver Matty

Williamson shares that opinion

and you can see why after Penny

Weight overcame missing

away early to run down leader

Beaudiene Quick Step for her

first career win.

Waldron trains 12 horses at

present and, with his flying start

to the year, could be on track

to challenge his personal best

seasons of 12 wins in 2008 and

MILESTONE:

2009. He rates his best horse

as Mr Molly who won 14 of

his 57 starts to make it to open

class.

“He was my best and was a

really good horse but I am still

enjoying the training so I’ll keep

at it.”

Waldron’s milestone was the

highlight of a Methven meeting

that saw the handy mare

Champagneandwine bolt away

with the main fillies and mares

handicap pace.

The big trot saw the Lawrence

FOOD 27

Diversely delicious Buddha bowls

To have a healthy body we

need a diet of different

foods. Hagar Ozri gets

creative with Buddha

bowls, an easy way to

bring your ingredients

together for a taste delight

Job’s tears, shiitake and

tofu Buddha bowl with

tamari and ginger sauce

Ingredients

1 cup Job’s tears

200g block of tofu (firm or soft,

but not silky tofu)

1 packet of sliced dried shiitake

or 8 whole fresh — sliced, (2

mushrooms per serve)

1 broccoli, divided into florets

3cm finger of fresh ginger

Fresh coriander

Tamari (wheat-free naturally

brewed soy sauce)

Sprouts (Mung bean, alfalfa,

broccoli or pea sprouts)

Chilli (optional)

Directions

To cook Job’s tears, place in a

medium-sized pot, rinse in cold

water then toast the grains in the

pan, top up with water at least

1cm above the grains and bring

to the boil with the lid on.

Once boiling, turn heat to

med/low (check that it is not too

low, so the grain is still cooking).

ORGANIC: To prepare the Buddha bowls, cook and chop

all the different components and ingredients in advance

then put it all together. PHOTOS: GERARD O’BRIEN

Continue to cook on low for 40-

50 minutes until the grains are al

dente.

To prepare the tofu, take the

tofu out of its packet, drain the

water, wrap in a tea towel and set

aside.

Prepare the marinade by

combining ⅓ cup of water, ⅓

cup tamari soy sauce, 4 slices of

fresh ginger and 1 clove garlic.

Cut the tofu into cubes and

shallow-fry in a hot pan. When

crispy on all sides pop tofu into

the marinade while still hot.

Drain the shiitake, conserving

the water, and place in the pan

you used for the tofu. Add the

soak-water a little at a time,

keeping the mushrooms covered.

Cook until tender and set aside.

Prepare the sauce by using the

marinade from the tofu, whisk it

with a little sesame oil.

Dry-roast sunflower seeds,

pumpkin seeds and sesame seeds

for toppings.

Cut the broccoli into

individual florets, steam, and set

aside.

Now assemble the Buddha

bowl. First place the grain on

the bottom of the bowl and pile

it a little more in one half of the

bowl so it is visible when all

other ingredients are added.

Place the broccoli next to

the mound of grain, then place

the tofu and shiitake. Top with

sprouts and the seeds, drizzle

with some sauce, saving some

extra to top-up as you eat at the

table.

Broad bean and millet

Buddha bowl with harissa

tahini sauce

Ingredients

1 cup hulled millet

⅔ cup broad beans – shelled

and steamed

⅔ cup steamed edamame

⅛ cup olive oil

1 tomato cubed, 1 avocado

peeled and cubed, ½ red onion

thinly sliced. Mix and season

with olive oil, salt and pepper.

2 Tbsp tahini

1 Tbsp of lemon juice

½ tsp salt

1 tsp harissa

Some fresh basil, chopped

Directions

Cook the millet: Place in a

medium sized saucepan, cover

with water (1cm over the grain)

and bring to the boil. Turn the

heat down and simmer with the

lid tilted until water has been

soaked up. Turn heat off, place

the lid on and set aside for 10

minutes.

Mix the edamame and broad

beans with a little olive oil and

salt and pepper.

To make the sauce, place

tahini and lemon juice and

salt in a small bowl, add ⅛ cup

water and whisk to make a

paste. Keep adding spoonfuls of

water to create a smooth sauce

consistency. Add the harissa and

taste – add salt if needed.

Assemble the bowl, starting

with the millet. Add the beans

on one side and the avocado and

tomato salad on the other. Top

with tahini sauce and sprinkle

with fresh basil.

Create an emergency plan for

your farm and livestock

Summer is a time where fire risk is at

its highest. Do you have a plan in place

to evacuate your livestock in case of

emergency?

Fire and Emergency NZ’s website,

www.checkitsalright.nz, says that it’s

important to include pets, domestic

animals and livestock in your planning for

emergencies, including fires.

The Ministry for Primary Industries

(MPI) offers a checklist to help create an

emergency plan for pets and livestock. Your

emergency plan should cover any major

disasters that could affect your family, farm

or workplace.

MPI’s website, www.mpi.govt.nz, suggests

you discuss your plan, record it, and

practice it with your family and co-workers,

and keep it where it can easily be seen in

the home and/or in a dairy shed, stable or

shearing shed. The site also offers a series

of PDF checklists for varying emergency

events such as a plan for pets and animals

affected by fire, earthquake, flood,

snowstorm, heat wave, volcanic eruption

and drought.

During times of emergency, you can

also contact your local Civil Defence or,

for farmer support, contact the Rural

Support Trust on 0800 787 254

(0800 RURAL HELP).

Fire safety tips for livestock

• For housed animals, maintain a safety zone around structures, including regular

mowing, removing dead trees and clearing brush.

• Protect your assets by keeping flammable materials away from farm buildings.

• Protect your fences from fire by keeping grass away. Spray herbicide in late winter up to

a metre either side of the fence, stifling grass growth and reducing fire-risk.

• Never store damp hay, and regularly check it between 2-7 weeks after baling. Damp or

incorrectly cured hay can spontaneously combust. Don’t store it next to animals or farm

equipment.

• Have a livestock evacuation plan ready in advance.

• In case of fire, if you can stay on your property, check all animals are contained and that

fences have not been destroyed by fire. Consider opening gates within your property to

allow stock easy access to safe ground. Do not open gates onto roadways or cut roadside

fences. Make sure your animals have access to clean feed and water in their new contained

space until they can be returned to their paddocks.

GARDENING


Time to add compost and manure

Vegetables

In all but the coolest areas,

radishes sown now will not

thrive, tending to bolt to seed,

even when the soil is kept moist,

and those that do mature being

unacceptably sharp in flavour.

To add a little bite to salads, use

nasturtium leaves and flowers,

or grow some mustard streaks

(Brassica juncea), which grow

very rapidly and if to be eaten

fresh are best young. Older plants

can be used in stir-fry mixes.

Onion plants can have their tops

bent over to assist bulb swelling.

Crops sown in autumn will

be almost ready for pulling. If

harvested in hot, settled weather,

they should be well-ripened and

suitable for long storage. Thickstemmed

bulbs will probably not

keep well, so keep them aside for

immediate use.

Liquid manure assists most

crops. Make your own by tying

a sack filled with sheep, horse,

cow or poultry manure and

suspending it in water for a few

days. One kilogram of fresh

manure to five litres of water

is a suitable mixture. Excellent

liquid manure can also be

made with seaweed and is good

for silverbeet, asparagus and

cabbages.

Nitrate of soda and sulphate of

ammonia (two tbsp to 20 litres

of water) promotes leafy growth

in salad crops and any winter

SPUDS: Potatoes can be dug now as the foliage yellows.

greens not growing as fast as they

should.

Early potatoes can be lifted as

the foliage yellows. Once potatoes

are well-matured, a combination

of rain and warm soil could

prompt new growth, spoiling

the crops quality and storage

properties. Brussels sprouts may

need to be staked to prevent those

in exposed positions twisting in

the wind.

Spring cabbages are best

when harvested early. Make one

sowing at the end of January and

another two weeks later. Grow

in a seed tray or make a seed

bed in a sheltered spot in semishade.

Enrich the soil with some

fine compost. Sow seed thinly

in 50mm-deep drills and cover

firmly. Transplant the seedlings

when big enough to handle.

Cabbage aphis and white

butterfly caterpillars go on the

attack at this time of year. Protect

seedlings with derris dust or spray

with soapy water.

Flowers

The madonna, or true

christmas lily (Lilium candidum),

will have finished flowering by

now. Cut the old flower stems

off at ground level and destroy

to prevent the spread of botrytis.

Unlike almost all other lilies, L.

candidum has no resting period.

Fresh growth develops from the

bulbs as soon as the flowering

period is over so, if bulbs are to

be divided or shifted, the work

is best done now. Also, unlike

other lilies, the bulb should not

be covered but the top third left

above the ground. They like hot,

dry spots and will tolerate some

lime.

Multiply all lily bulbs

by detaching scales and

inserting them point upwards

in boxes of sandy soil with the

base of each scale just below the

surface. Keep the boxes moist and

plant the scales out when they

have rooted. Plants propagated

this way should flower in the

second season.

Violas and pansies may be

looking straggly and producing

smaller flowers. Cut them back to

new growth just above the ground

and they will spring away.

Tulips and hyacinths can be

lifted and cleaned when the tops

have died down. Place the bulbs

in shallow trays in a dry, cool,

airy place. Never expose them

to full sunshine. Anemones

and ranunculuses can be lifted

and stored for a month or two,

until planting space is available.

For winter blooms, plant some

anemone bulbs now in a warm

place. Like all bulbs, narcissi,

crocuses and snowdrops suffer

if kept out of the soil for any

length of time. Lift only when

overcrowding makes it necessary

and replant without delay.

THRIVE: Strawberries like

plenty of compost, leaf

mould and well-rotted

manure.

Fruit

Strawberry plants can be

increased readily from the rooted

runners the plants are now

producing. Use only the strongest

on any vine and after it has

established roots, set it out in rich

soil in early March. This summer

propagation allows the plant

to develop before cold weather

sets in and bear a fruit crop next

summer. If planting is delayed

until winter or spring, no fruit

should be allowed to develop in

the first season.

Being of woodland origin,

strawberries like plenty of

compost, leaf mould and wellrotted

manure. Superphosphate

applied when planting will supply

the phosphates important to

full growth. Do not use lime, as

strawberries prefer a slightly acid

soil.

Are you ready to grow?

to get their hands dirty.

THE LEAD into summer may

have been a bit gloomy but it

did provide conditions that have

given us lush, healthy roses with

an abundance of flowers.

There are several practical tasks

to help maintain roses at their

best – applying mulch around the

base of the rose helps maintain

moisture, protects the soil surface

and reduces weed growth;

watering well during the growing

season, noting that roses shifted

or recently planted may require

more watering; and feeding roses

with fertiliser by apply around

the drip line a little and often,

but only when the soil is moist.

To encourage new growth and

repeat flowering, remove or

dead-head old flowers. This is

simply achieved by removing

the old flower or flowering

stem by cutting back to the first

complete leaf with five leaflets,

or to any new actively growing

side shoots. In roses that have

multi-headed blooms, pinch out

each individual flower as they age

until the entire head has finished,

then remove the stem.

When selecting new roses

look for good healthy bushes.

Many newer varieties are bred


to be more resistant to pests and

diseases. The Dunedin Botanic

Garden, neighbours’ gardens

and membership of a local rose

grower group are good places to

observe and get advice as to what

grows well locally.

Pests and disease are always

a possibility and there are any

number of treatment options

available. Good hygiene is one

of the best management options,

though, with dead-heading,

cutting out damaged stems and

removing old fallen flowers and

rose leaf litter from the base of

the bushes.

Everything is coming up roses

ABOUT HALF of Canterbury

households feed birds in their

backyards – but are we feeding

them the right kinds of food?

Dr Margaret Stanley, a professor

of ecology, says most of us

feed birds with bread and seeds,

which is unlikely to attract

our native species who prefer

sweeter treats.

“We take what’s happening

overseas and kind of plonk it on

the New Zealand context, which

doesn’t really work,” she says.

“In the UK and in the US,

places like that, they have a

lot of species that eat seed and

grain, what we call granivores,

and in (Canterbury) our native

Margaret

Stanley

species just don’t

eat those things,

we’ve got a lot of

the honey-eaters

– things that eat

nectar and fruit.

“So when we

put out this seed

and this grain and

bread, then all we

do is attract large numbers of

sparrows and pigeons and things

like that and it tends to push out

our little native species.”

To attract and support native

birds like bellbirds and tui some

people put out sugar water for

them to feed on, which Stanley

says can be helpful for the birds

in winter, but at other times

could prove a distraction.

“There are some concerns

about it, that perhaps there

might be more disease if birds

are hanging around feeders, perhaps

they’re not spending that

time pollinating native flowers

and dispersing seeds and doing

their job they should be.”

She suggests that rather than

feeding them all year round,

save the sugar water for winter

– but be sure to keep the

feeder clean. Stanley’s research

found that birds in gardens with

feeders had about four-and-ahalf

times more coccidia, an

organism that causes severe

flowering remove old rose flowers now.

How to attract native birds to your backyard


digestive problems in birds. She

recommends cleaning backyard

feeders at least twice a week by

scrubbing them with hot water.

The type of feeder used can

also help prevent the spread of

disease. Stanley recommends

a specialised feeder with holes

designed for honey-eaters with

long tongues, as it’s less likely

that faeces will make it inside.

Another way to support your

neighbourhood bird population

is to install a bird bath, particularly

doing long dry summers

where water sources are limited.

“It’s definitely a great idea to

have a water bath and often you

can see some really good behavioural

interaction and have that

connection instead of the effort

of putting out those feeders,”

Stanley said.

They also must be cleaned

frequently. Feeders and

birdbaths should also be kept

away from trees, preferably on

a tall post, to keep birds safe

from predators like cats. While

we tend to focus on flowers and

fruit when thinking about food

for birds, Stanley says insects

are also an important protein

source, particularly during

breeding season. So consider

planting some native plants that

attract a lot of native insects,

such as manuka. – RNZ

TAKE CARE: Watch out for poisonous potato ‘apples’, toxic rhubarb leaves and parsnips which can give you a rash if touched with bare hands.

Avoiding hidden poisons in your garden

Gillian Vine urges people

to take a little caution in

their vegetable plots and

highlights the potential

dangers of the fruit of

potatoes, rhubarb and

parsnips

I DON’T LIKE the common

name “potato apple” for the fruit

which looks like a green tomato,

as it implies that it is edible.

In fact, it is horribly toxic,

thanks to the presence of

solanine, a glycoalkaloid toxin

which induces symptoms

including dizziness, vomiting,

diarrhoea, paralysis and even

death.

Removing the flowers of

potatoes stops the fruit forming

and doesn’t harm the crop.

The chemical is found in the

foliage and green potatoes, too,

although chlorophyll may be the

cause of greening.

Play it safe and don’t eat green

spuds. Rather than waste them,

pop them in the ground for a late

crop of new potatoes, which will

be quite normal and a treat for

Easter.

Potatoes belong to the

nightshade family (solanaceae),

which includes tomatoes,

aubergines, chilli peppers and

even tobacco.

In some species, such as deadly

nightshade (Atropa belladonna),

the entire plant is toxic.

Fortunately, deadly nightshade

is rare in this country but black

nightshade (Solanum nigrum),

which is not as poisonous but

still potentially harmful, is

extremely widespread.

Another nightshade, poroporo

(S. aviculare), has large berries

that are poisonous when green,

but the fully ripe fruit is edible.

If you plan to eat poroporo,

be certain of its identity as it can

easily be confused with harmful

nightshades.

Tomatoes also contain

solanine, especially in foliage,

stems and green fruit. Cooking

reduces the risk, so green tomato

chutney is a good way to use

unripe fruit.

Solanine is not the only poison

lurking in the vegetable plot. The

oxalic acid in rhubarb is wellknown

and the leaves – where

most is stored – are often used

for a natural insect killer.

For a spray to zap chewing

insects, such as aphids,

caterpillars and spider mites, put

rhubarb leaves in a pot (ideally

an old one no longer used for

food), cover with water and boil

for about 20 minutes.

Allow it to cool, then remove

the leaves. Add a tablespoonful

of dishwashing liquid, mix well

and pour into a spray bottle.

Clearly label the bottle “poison”.

If you are thinning parsnips

on a sunny day, make sure you

wear gloves, or you risk getting

parsnip rash – also known as

phytophotodermatitis – an

unpleasant skin ailment that

causes itching and blistering,

usually about 24 hours after

handling the vegetable.

The reason for the rash is the

presence of furocoumarins in

the foliage and skins of parsnips,

which in sunny weather interact

with UV rays and set up the

irritation.

It is recommended that

parsnips be peeled before

cooking. Celery and parsley have

been known to cause parsnip

rash, but seem to do so only

occasionally. But don’t let this

doom and gloom put you off

growing vegetables, as nothing

tastes better than home-grown

potatoes or ripe tomatoes warm

from the sun.

Precautions

•Teach children that if

any plant or berry tastes

nasty or makes the lips

or mouth sting, they

should spit it out at once

– never swallow it – and

immediately tell an adult.

•Keep the number of the

National Poison Centre,

0800POISON (0800 764

766), handy and contact

NPC if poisoning occurs or

is suspected.

Touch of French Riviera in Skoda Fabia

MONTE CARLO is one of the

most fascinating places I’ve had the

good fortune to visit.

In terms of major motorsport

events, it is also home to the iconic

formula one grand prix and has

long been host to a round of the

World Rally Championship.

Skoda has had regular

contenders with the latter. It

entered the competition in 1999

and has had a lot of success in both

it and WRC-2, mostly with its

Fabia.

Capitalising on that success, the

company has launched a couple

of Monte Carlo models – Kamiq

and five-door Fabia hatchback.

The Monte Carlo is the only Fabia

variant available now and it has had

a major lifecycle change, arriving

here at tempting price of $39,990,

and squeezes into the low emission

zone rewarding a buyer with a

$2181 NZ Government Clean Car

Programme rebate. Bear in mind,

though, if you want the bright red

paintwork, as in the evaluation car’s

case, it will set you back an extra

$1000.

In true sports hatch fashion, the

stroppy Fabia has a tight feel on

the road, and while the spring and

damper rates are on the firm side,

there is compliance and onboard

comfort isn’t jeopardised.

Amidst the few specification

options are 18in wheels, the

evaluation car wasn’t fitted with

them, but such is its feel and

presence on the road with the

standard 17in (215/45) Michelin

tyres the Fabia affords an involving

feel and strong connection with the

road.

Given the suggestion there are

motorsport links to the Fabia

Monte Carlo, I eked out some

tight and twisty high country

roads. It has definite composure

and accuracy into a turn, steerage

is sharp and body balance is well

controlled.

Under the bonnet is an

interesting four-cylinder engine

of 1.5-litre. It’s a strong engine

thanks to some fairly healthy

outputs – 110kW and 250Nm,

both generated by turbocharged

forced induction. What makes this

engine so special is the area where

the power is developed. Skoda

claim maximum torque is available

all of the way from 1500rpm to

3500rpm, almost meeting the point

of peak power which comes in at

5000rpm.

The result is a smooth, progressive

flow of energy, and that is the

essence of the modern engine;

power arrives smoothly and is

linear. Drive is sent to the front

wheels through a seven-speed direct

shift (dual clutch) gearbox. It is the

Volkswagen group’s preferred design

for automatic transmission and it

works effectively with quick, clean

shifts and ratios that complement

the power outputs. There are also

four drive modes that can be

implemented, depending on the

type of journey ahead.

The entire driveline is strong,

willing and silent. If you are a

SPORTY APPEARANCE: Red and black paint colours will

SKODA FABIA MONTE CARLO: Just one variant for New Zealand.

small hatchback buyer and want

to reap the reward of minimal fuel

use then this is the car for you. A

work colleague has just purchased

a Fabia Monte Carlo and he says

he gets a 6.3-litre per 100km fuel

usage average – even during a

consistent inner-city commute.

That relates well to Skoda’s

5.3l/100km claim and the 7l/100km

figure that was showing on the

readouts when I returned it to

the dealership. For the record, a

4.5l/100km figure registers at a

steady 100km/h, the engine loping

over gently at just 1800rpm.

On the subject of figures, the

Fabia in this form is also quite

sprightly, it will launch to 100km/h

in 8sec and will complete a

highway overtake (80-120km/h) in

5.3sec.

The turbo boost is quite strong

and, as such, there is a certain

urgency if you give the accelerator

pedal a bit of a nudge, it isn’t vividly

fast but it has punch nonetheless.

Elsewhere the Fabia carries all of

the virtues that make Skoda such an

interesting manufacturer in terms

of functionality, right from the

clever door-located umbrella holder

to the rubbish bin-type container

inside the driver’s door pocket.

There’s also a parking ticket holder

• Price – Skoda Fabia Monte

Carlo, $39,990

• Dimensions – Length,

4125mm; width, 1954mm;

height, 1461mm

• Configuration – Fourcylinder,

front-wheeldrive,

1498cc, 110kW,

250Nm, seven-speed

direct shift automatic

• Performance –

0-100km/h, 8sec

• Fuel usage – 5.3l/100km

on the windscreen, pen holder in

the centre console and cellphone

holders on the back of the front

seats. Add in wireless cellphone

charging it all adds up to a userfriendly

manufacturing philosophy.

It also gets a bit of sporty treatment,

seat stripes, carbon-coloured trim

details, red accent flashes and

aluminium pedals. I particularly

liked the red door grab handle, it

is easy to spot and very practical,

which means if you are in and out

of the car often closing the door is

significantly easier.

Along with that, the Fabia is

extremely comfortable. At just 4.1m

it isn’t a big car, but it does have

interior space that will easily cater

for the small family. At 380-litres

(extending to 1190-litres) there is

also generous load space, it easily

catered for a supermarket load of

groceries after the Kiddie-weekly

Pak’nSave shop. What’s more, if you

lift up the spare wheel cover in the

boot you’ll find a full-size spare.

That’s something I particularly

relate to.

The Fabia in this form is a very

interesting car; sure, it misses out

on a few items that I thought would

be mandatory, it doesn’t get heated

seats, but in an unusual move it

gets a heated steering wheel. There’s

also manual handbrake lever,

however, I particularly relate to

that as I like things simple and I

like the idea of additional control

everywhere I can find it.

There’s no doubt Skoda is

going places in New Zealand, the

company has had some massive

corporate orders – police and

Corporate Cabs – and that success

has raised the profile of the brand

markedly. What’s more, the quality

of product is high grade and

interesting.

Clever features are part of the

company’s ideology; I can’t see the

Fabia Monte Carlo being anything

other than a resounding success.

Confident at Auctions

Looking confident may be all you need to be the last

bidder standing when the hammer goes down.

Does your blood pressure go sky-high at

the sight of an auction room? Chances are

some of your fellow bidders are doing all

in their power to psych you out and win

the bidding.

Securing a property isn’t just about

having the most money. Sometimes the

winning bidder is the one with the most

confidence.

They use psychology to convince

opposing bidders to give up, hoping to

make everyone else think they’ve got more

to spend than anyone else in the room.

Too often buyers have preconceived

ideas about how the auction will unfold

and have their confidence knocked when it

doesn’t go their way.

Two can play at that game. You just need

to get your strategy right.

Looking confident may be all you need

to be the last bidder standing when the

hammer goes down.

To be that person you need to do some

preparation. Make sure you go to a few

auctions first to get used to them.

Come bidding day, park yourself on

the side at the front so that you can

see everyone in the room and, more

importantly, they can see you whether

they’re at the back of the front.

It gives you a vantage point and shows

the opposition you are bidding confidently

against them.

You are hoping that the other buyers

have a plan in place.

Often that’s to start low. So if you come

in with a relatively high first bid, you may

rattle them.

“The lower the open bid the more people

can afford to bid. So you could knock out

some of the opposition before they even

place a bid if you choose the right opener.

Don’t start at $500,000 for a house you

know is going to go for at least $800,000.

Put an opening bid of $785,000.

Immediately your opposition is going to

think it will go incredibly high and might

be unnerved.

Call each bid out confidently. “It shows

you are comfortable and in control.

The more confident you seem the more

people will think you have done it before.

It’s a really good idea to vary your

bidding increments.. If it’s going up by

$2000 bids and it’s below your limit don’t

be afraid to put a $10,000 bid in..

Your competition is always thinking

about that next $2000 bid and if you

change the rhythm from $2000 to $10,000

you show you have the money and it

changes where their next bid has to be.

Instead of $4000 more it is $12,000 more.

Finally, if you’re a couple, make sure

you’ve discussed every aspect of the

auction before you get there. As soon

as you start looking at each other or

conferring, the opposition will think

you’re weak.

by an owner/occupier and you can truly feel the warm, inviting homely difference from the

moment you walk through the door.

It is a very detailed build, packed with features that makes great use of the 207sqm foot print. It

was also very carefully positioned on the site to maximise all-day sun. From the appealing street

presence right through to the oversized tiled shower this home just stands out from the crowd!

A combination of quality and functionality that you just won’t find elsewhere.

Checklist for selling your home

MAKE SMALL FIXES

Inspect your home with a buyer’s

eyes, and correct the flaws that are

most egregious (if affordable) or

can be relatively easily fixed—from

repairing cracks in the walkways

to repainting dingy walls or oiling

creaky hinges.

SET A PRICE

A real estate agent will give you a

market analysis free of charge or

commitment. Ask a few to get a

broader picture of the market, then

ask to see listings for properties

similar to yours that have sold

in the past six months. Check

out comparable listings yourself

Accelerating success.

in the real estate section of your

newspaper or on websites. Then

decide whether you want a quick,

easy sale or the highest possible

price.

CLEAN & DECLUTTER

Weed out excess furniture,

knicknacks, and “stuff ”—toss it,

donate it, give it away, sell it at a

yard sale, or put it into storage—so

the house seems more spacious and

buyers can imagine themselves in it.

STAY VIGILIANT ABOUT

MAINTENANCE

From the moment you start

showing your house, keep the lawn

mowed, shrubs trimmed, gardens

weeded, rooms spotless and

clutter-free.

READY YOUR HOME FOR

OPEN DAYS

Hide pocketable valuables,

display fresh flowers or bowls

of fruit, bake a batch of cookies

for the homey smell, open the

drapes, keep pets out of sight.

solve—problems your buyer’s

Four things you MUST

do before buying a home

Buying a home is a big deal. It’s likely to be the most expensive thing you buy,

and it can be a complicated legal process. It might be tempting to take a few

shortcuts, but failing to do things properly could cause more problems later.

Here are our top four tasks for home

buyers.

1. Research the property

The real estate agent selling the

property acts on behalf of the seller,

however they are also required to

tell you everything they know about

the property. They must respond

professionally to all your enquiries and

not withhold any details. Remember

that you still need to do your own

due diligence. That means getting a

title search so you can find out all the

facts about the property’s ownership,

boundary and access, as held by Land

Information New Zealand (LINZ). It’s

a good idea to get a Land Information

Memorandum (LIM), which shows

information held by the local council

about the property and land. For

valuable feedback on the property’s

condition, get a report done by

an inspector who has professional

indemnity insurance and carries out

their work in accordance with the New

Zealand Property Inspection Standard.

Although this all costs money, it will

save you more in the long term. Sellers

may occasionally provide some of this

information for you. If this happens,

check that it is up-to-date.

2. Get legal advice

Buying property is expensive, and it

can cost even more if something goes

wrong. That’s why it’s important to get

legal advice before you sign anything.

A lawyer will handle all the paperwork

Visit one of our stunning showhomes to gather ideas for your dream home

involved in the process, including the

title search, and offer impartial advice.

If you don’t have a lawyer, the New

Zealand Law Society can help you find

one at propertylawyers.org.nz.

3. Understand the sale process

There are several methods of buying

and selling property, for example,

tender or auction. It’s important to

understand the process for the property

you are buying. Practices can vary

between agencies so make sure you

confirm details with them. The Home

Buyer’s Guide at buyingahome.reaa.

govt.nz has more helpful advice.

4. Read the sale and purchase

agreement and understand what it

means

The sale and purchase agreement

is your contract with the seller. It is

crucial to read it very carefully and get

legal advice before you sign. You can

negotiate the terms and conditions of

an agreement, but once you sign it,

there’s no going back.

Your guide to all things Real Estate

in the Selwyn District

New Year

market overview

31

REINZ (The Real Estate Institute

of New Zealand) December’s

figures show house prices

are still declining, with a 12.2%

decrease nationally and

properties taking longer to sell.

However, it’s not all doom and

gloom in the real estate market,

even with current interest rates

and lower house prices.

Selwyn appears to retain the “place to

buy” title with the New Year starting with

a bright outlook for sales. Richard Tait

from Harcourt Four Seasons Realty says

that the end of December saw fantastic

results, which seems to be carrying

forward to the start of 2023 with good

stock and sales. The overall New Zealand

median house price was $790,000 in

December, and this month, Richard says

house prices in Selwyn range from $700-

$900 000, with sales completed in under

60 days. Open home numbers have been

excellent, and with people realising it’s

“what it’s going to be”, interest rates don’t

seem to prevent buyers from purchasing.

Richard and the staff at Harcourts

Four Seasons believe that Selwyn is an

“undervalued part of New Zealand and

represents extremely good value for

out-of-towners.” With high sale prices

in other regions, buying in Selwyn can

potentially allow some purchasers to

become mortgage free. People can buy a

new fully-insulated, ready-to-go home

on a decent-sized section that is relatively

maintenance-free to give them time to do

what they love. The continuing addition

of new facilities, services, and retail in the

area means there are even more reasons

buyers choose Selwyn to live in.

The market for lifestyle properties has

also been achieving excellent outcomes.

Richard advises, “Well-presented

properties are getting very good prices,

and there is really good competition for

them.” West Melton properties continue

to be sought-after, while throughout

Selwyn, anywhere surrounding Rolleston,

Prebbleton, and Lincoln is popular.

Having the lifestyle you want and

working in town is not an issue with easy

commuting on hand. Rural residents are

finding it easier to get what they need

locally without driving into town.

With a glass-half-full outlook, Richard

suggests that as things have stabilised in

the Selwyn property market, we will see

a steady demand that should result in a

continuous flow of business within the

area.
