GARDEN PARTY A GONER 

Concern students will party 

in neighbourhoods 

• By Daniel Alvey 

LINCOLN University students’ 

annual Garden Party has been 

called off, leading to fears they 

will party up in flats throughout 

the town. 

The October 20 party at the 

campus was to be scaled down 

this year, but now it has been 

called off altogether due to 

slow ticket sales. The party is to 

celebrate the end of lectures. 

Lincoln residents are 

concerned students will use flats 

to party hop. 

“So now we have the risk 

of students and their friends 

celebrating in the community 

with no support of St John and 

Red Frogs, no one managing 

the amount of alcohol served/ 

consumed and we just have 

to keep fingers crossed that 

the day passes without 

incident,” a poster said on the 

Lincoln Community Facebook 

page. 

Red Frogs is a volunteer 

Christian youth charity that 

has assisted the university in 

running the event, along with 

other security measures. 

The event has been largely 

trouble free and has kept the 

large number of students who 

attend on campus grounds, 

away from the rest of the 

community. 

Another Facebook poster said 

she was “so sad for the students”. 

“I hope that Garden Party 

comes back next year bigger 

and better than ever. So 

short-sighted of whoever 

made the decision to change 

it, simply takes the end-ofyear 

celebrations away from a 

controlled environment.”

NOTE OCTOBER 20 in 

your diary. There may be 

a student party coming to 

your neighbourhood. 

That’s the likelihood 

following the cancellation 

of the Lincoln University 

Student Association annual 

Garden Party (see page 1). 

The party has been held at 

the university campus for a 

number of years, a win-win 

for students and Lincoln 

residents alike. 

It has been a great event, 

where students can party up 

in their own space until they 

peter out by about 6pm. Not 

a bad effort given many start 

the annual festivity 12 hours 

news 

earlier. 

But slow ticket sales have 

apparently torpedoed it, 

meaning students will party 

hop from flat to flat in the 

town. 

But that may not be a 

good outcome for residents.

Campus construction 

NEWS 3 

to start after delays 

GROWING PAINS: The current Rolleston College campus has had to be expanded to 

manage growth. 

CONSTRUCTION work will 

be starting on the new senior 

campus for Rolleston College 

this month, but the completion 

will be half a year late. 

The second campus on 

the corner of Selwyn Rd and 

Springston Rolleston Rd will be 

completed in three stages. It is 

expected to bring the school roll 

up to 3400. 

The first stage was due to 

be completed by the start of 

2025, but processing delays 

from the Ministry of Education 

have pushed the scheduled 

completion date out to mid- 

2025. 

Rolleston College principal 

Rachel Skelton said while it 

was disappointing that the 

opening of the second campus 

has moved out a few months, it 

was exciting that work will be 

underway very shortly. 

“We are aware of the impact 

the delay will have on our 

school community, learners, 

future learners and the wider 

community. 

“The design 

process 

was almost 

complete, and 

we will be 

able to share 

some building 

Rachel 

Skelton 

plans with the 

community 

as they are 

finalised,” Skelton said. 

They have been assured by the 

Ministry that the new campus 

is still a top priority. 

Stage one features a 

gymnasium, science and 

technology building and 

some modular buildings to 

accommodate general teaching 

areas while stages two and three 

are constructed. 

Ministry of Education head 

of property Sam Fowler said 

starting the works on the 

second campus is an important 

milestone for the college. 

“With the expansion works 

and temporary buildings on the 

current site and the necessary 

planning for the new campus, 

this is a challenging time for 

the college and I am grateful 

to the board, principal, and 

the community for both their 

patience and resilience,” Fowler 

said. 

The winning Stone 

• By Jaime Cunningham 

FOR SOME, rugby tours aren’t 

all about rugby. That’s the case 

for Southbridge player Adam 

Stone, who proposed to partner 

Yvette Dalley after his team’s win 

against Melrose in Scotland last 

week. 

It was a special place for the 

couple; Stone had previously 

played for Melrose a few years 

ago. 

The clubroom proposal added 

to Southbridge’s 33-21 win to 

end their three-week tour of the 

United Kingdom, a game Stone 

managed to score in. 

Fitting celebrations followed, 

with the club’s rugby development 

manager Chris McMillan 

also celebrating his birthday on 

the same day.

Young

TOUCH THE SKY: 

Olivia Russell, 

Tamison’s dance 

instructor, has ‘helped 

her get to where she 

is today’. 

faces 

decision of 

a lifetime 

EN POINTE: Tamison Soppet has gained a scholarship to some of the world’s best ballet 

schools after winning a major competition in Sydney. 

• By Sasha Watson 

TAMISON SOPPET might only 

be 13, but she has what could be 

a life-defining decision to make. 

The year 9 Lincoln High 

School student has been offered 

scholarships to the Royal Ballet 

School in London, John Cranko 

Ballet in Germany, Princess 

Grace Dance Academy in 

Monaco and the Australian 

Ballet School in Melbourne. 

Tamison has the opportunity 

to follow in the footsteps of 

Italian Alessandra Ferri, who 

attended the Royal Ballet School 

in the early 1980’s; or Queen 

Elizabeth II’s appointed prima 

ballerina assoluta of the school, 

Dame Margot Fonteyn; or even 

the famous Rudolf Nureyev. 

“Tamison has been competing 

all her life and dancing since 

she was four. Her dream is to 

become a professional dancer,” 

said her mother, Toni Soppet. 

“Now, she has an opportunity 

to travel the world, experience 

dancing at different schools, and 

see what is out there for her.” 

Tamison, from Convergence 

Dance Studios, competed at the 

Youth America Grand Prix ballet 

competition, held in Sydney late 

last month, against more than 

200 dancers aged 12-14. 

After three days of performing 

and attending masterclasses, 

Tamison was called back for 

further judging, where the junior 

grand prix title was officially 

awarded to her by consensus of a 

four-judge panel. 

The scholarship enables her 

to attend one of four top ballet 

schools in the world for a period 

of up to four weeks. 

“Winning is one thing and 

absolutely something to be proud 

of, but the scholarships and 

exposure is where the ‘excel’ part 

starts,” said Soppet. 

“Tamison is over the moon to 

have such an accomplishment 

under her belt. This is the 

first time she’s been overseas 

to compete - which is pretty 

incredible.” 

She said Tamison was judged 

for her ‘artistry, technicality, 

musicality, and performance’ in 

both classical and contemporary 

categories. 

“We moved to Convergence 

Dance Studios a couple of years 

ago and I cannot give Olivia 

Russell, her dance instructor, 

enough credit,” said Soppet. 

“Her incredible nurturing, 

time, effort and training has 

helped Tamison get to where she 

is today.” 

Outside of dancing, Soppet 

said Tamison enjoys swapping 

her ballet shoes for gumboots 

while hanging out at her friend’s 

alpaca farm, and doing ‘normal 

kid’ things.

Official student party canned 

NEWS 5 

In Brief 

• From page 1 

The Garden Party traditionally 

hosted students from Lincoln 

and Canterbury universities, 

but it was scaled back to allow 

Lincoln students only this year 

and given the new name of Lawn 

Party before being cancelled 

entirely. 

The party is 

a Lincoln University 

Students 

Association 

(LUSA) event. 

President Amy 

Wells did not 

respond to 

Amy Wells 

questions from 

the Selwyn 

Times, despite 

repeated requests. 

The Selwyn Times wanted to 

ask LUSA if it could give Lincoln 

residents an assurance students 

would behave themselves. 

Lincoln University would also 

not respond to that question, 

saying it was a LUSA event and 

questions needed to be answered 

by them. 

In a statement to students 

on Facebook LUSA said: “We 

explored various options to 

keep the event viable, but unfortunately 

the low ticket sales 

made it financially unfeasible 

to proceed. We understand that 

many of you were excited about 

attending the original Garden 

POPULAR: Lincoln University students’ Garden Party has attracted sell-out crowds in the 

past, but this year it has been cancelled. 

Party and we are sincerely sorry 

that we couldn’t make it happen 

this time.” 

But LUSA is expecting students 

to celebrate in Lincoln. 

“We expect an increase of 

students coming into the area, to 

continue with their tradition of 

celebrating the end of lectures. 

However, instead of coming to 

our event, students may choose 

to host their own small-scale celebrations 

within the community.” 

Police have been in contact 

with LUSA, but won’t say if 

they will have extra officers 

in Lincoln for “operational 

reasons”.

DRIVER CUT OUT OF CAR 

IN SH73 CRASH 

A person had to be cut out of their 

car after they collided with a ute 

at the State Highway 73/Station 

Rd intersection near Kirwee on 

Sunday about 10am. Kirwee and 

Darfield fire brigades attended 

the crash. Kirwee chief fire officer 

Stuart Jones said despite having 

to be cut out of the car the driver 

was not seriously injured. He said 

the crash was caused after the car 

failed to give way to the ute. 

CAUSE OF CAR FIRE 

UNKNOWN 

The cause of a car fire in Dunsadel 

in the early hours of Saturday 

morning is still unknown. The 

Dunsandel Volunteer Fire Brigade 

responded to the call in the 

township at 2.45am. Firefighter Al 

Sheppard said when they arrived 

the car was fully on fire with no 

one around. Sheppard was unsure 

if the car was stolen. 

LABOUR PARTY VOTE 

In last week’s Selwyn Times 

article on the upcoming elections, 

Labour’s 2020 party vote result 

was omitted from the fact box. In

Selwyn at 41.9 per cent, 18,102

Council unlikely to sell assets 


IT SEEMS unlikely the district 

council will be selling any 

of the silverware as it begins 

formulating its financial future. 

The district council currently 

has an AA credit rating (very 

strong) as it heads into the 

planning of its economic and 

investment strategy. 

Currently, the district council 

own $132,224,000 of shares in 

different companies. 

District council enabling 

services group manager Kelvin 

Mason said all options will be 

considered 

when working 

through the 

Long-Term Plan 

next year. 

“As far as 

asset sales, we 

have not had 

Kelvin 

Mason 

any discussion 

around asset 

sales, but 

we are only just starting the 

conversations around the Long- 

Term Plan.” 

Mason said the district council 

has earned its strong credit 

rating due to good financial 

management meaning the 

district is in a positive financial 

position for the future. 

It comes as Christchurch 

Mayor Phil Mauger supports 

selling assets to keep rates down. 

The city’s assets are managed 

by Christchurch City Holdings 

Ltd. Included in its portfolio is 

all of Lyttelton Port Company, 

75 per cent of Christchurch 

International Airport, and 89.3 

per cent of lines provider Orion 

New Zealand 

Ltd, of which the 

district council 

owns the other 

10.7 per cent. 

Mayor Sam 

Broughton 

wouldn’t be 

drawn to 

comment on 

Mauger’s position.

“That’s really a question for

“Each council has its own

portfolio.” 

Broughton said the district 

council is always looking at 

alternative revenue sources to 

keep rates down. 

Unlike the city council, 

Selwyn does not have a separate 

company for investments. 

Included in Selwyn’s portfolio

The district council also 

owns 3 per cent of Transwaste

It is a minority shareholder 

in Central Plains Water Ltd 

($437,000) and has 0.83 per cent 

ownership in New Zealand Local 

Government Funding Agency 

Limited (NZLGFA), at $187,000. 

The district council’s 

investments provide $6.296 

million in returns with Orion 

bringing back the most at $3.432 

million, followed by CORDE 

with a $2.25 million dividend. 

Smaller returns are made from 

Transwaste, at $605,000, and 

$9,000 from NZLGFA. 

Broughton said the district 

council investment brings in 

more than money. 

“Benefit is not measured in 

simply monetary terms. 

“The social and wellbeing 

benefits of assets are considered 

carefully when managing our 

portfolio.”

Firefighters focus on preventing fires 


THE DISTRICT’S volunteer 

firefighters are normally focused 

on putting fires out, but now 

they are more prepared to 

prevent them before they start. 

Fire and Emergency New 

Zealand community risk 

manager Dean Harker held a 

training session with volunteers 

in Rolleston recently covering 

a range of topics to help reduce 

fires. 

Those volunteers are tasked 

with upskilling their colleagues 

and the public. 

“What we’re doing is educating 

them on readiness and recovery 

resources that the community 

risk management team have. The 

purpose behind it is so that we 

can upskill them, so they can 

educate the public moving into 

summer,” Harker said. 

Fire chiefs in the district are 

concerned about the predicted 

dry conditions that will prevail 

with the El Niño weather pattern 

and the influence it will have on 

fires over summer. 

Harker is expecting a busy fire 

season with a very hot, dry summer 

approaching. 

“We want to get as much education 

out there to the members 

of the public and the communities. 

So by upskilling the volunteers, 

it’s another way that we

can get that messaging out.” 

He said a common cause of 

scrub fires they have seen recently 

is burn piles either getting 

out of control or reigniting due 

to embers not being dampened 

down. 

“The fire’s finished and then 

it hasn’t been extinguished 

properly. So what happens is the 

strong nor’easters come and they 

blow the top off the remaining 

ashes, and then that ignites the 

embers and they get blown into 

other vegetation,” said Harker. 

Sometimes it can take up to 

three weeks for the ground to be 

fully dampened down. 

Harker said it is important 

to use www.checkitsalright.nz 

to find out about restrictions in 

place and whether conditions 

are okay for fire lighting. The 

site is able to suggest a better 

day, where the weather might be 

more appropriate. 

He said it’s also helpful for 

people to ring fire communications 

to inform them they are 

having a fire to ensure they are 

EDUCATION: Volunteers learning how to prevent fires. 

aware of it. 

The volunteers were also 

shown examples of lowflammable 

planting, which is 

part of an education programme 

run in conjunction with Lincoln 

University. 

Something like gorse will burn 

much quicker than broadleaf. 

“The low flammable planting 

is plants that will burn, but at 

a very, very slow rate. So what 

we’re encouraging people to do 

around their home is to use that 

sort of planting to stop a fire if 

it does come, to actually slow it 

down to give them time.” 

Other key steps to protecting 

properties from the risk of 

wildfires include keeping the 

grass around buildings short and 

clearing gutters of dead leaves 

and debris. 

Harker said access to a 

property can also be challenging. 

Property owners need to be 

aware of how much space is 

required to get a fire truck down 

a driveway, which ideally is 4m 

by 4m. 

Other prevention measures 

included in the training were 

fire safety home visits, where 

volunteers can check whether 

smoke alarms are working and 

their placement inside the house, 

as well as escape plans if there is 

a fire.

The Sheffield Volunteer Fire Brigade hosted its Wings 

and Wheels fundraiser on Sunday. There was a 

range of cars and planes on show – and everything 

in between. The event raised about $7000 for the 

brigade. Said organiser Neville Croy: “This year the 

weather was not the kindest to us with the strong, 

cold wind being a nuisance. Our show car and plane 

numbers were down a lot from the last one we ran. 

Saying that, we still had a fair number of people 

come along.” Croy said there were about 130 cars, 

tractors and trucks on display. He thanked everyone for 

supporting the event. PHOTOS: DANIEL ALVEY

SERVICE: Former Sheffield brigade chief fire officer Neville Croy with his pride and joy, a

LINE-UP: The range of vehicles included classic cars. 

STATE OF THE ART: Christchurch Airport fire trucks were on display, as well as various small aircraft. Riding on the back of Darfield Fire Brigade’s Bedford 

was a good way to see the show.

steps down 


AFTER MORE than 50 years of fighting 

fires, Sheffield chief Neville Croy has 

decided to call time on his service. 

Croy has been in the Sheffield Volunteer 

Fire Brigade for 51 years and for 40 of 

those has been in charge, both as chief 

and, when it was a division of the Darfield 

brigade, as senior station officer. 

The 72-year-old said he has decided the 

time has come to pass the role onto the 

next person. 

“I’ve had my day at it, time to pass it on, 

and technology and age catches up with 

us all. 

“I’m leaving the brigade in a better 

position than when I started, but that’s a 

brigade effort, it’s not just one guy,” Croy 

said. 

Alan Mathewson will take over from 

Croy. He joined the Sheffield brigade just 

over a year ago. He served 19 years in the 

Kirwee brigade, 10 of which were as a station 

officer. 

Croy said he will miss being part of the 

brigade. 

“I will certainly miss it and I’ll miss the 

camaraderie of the guys and their support.” 

He has seen a lot of change in his time 

in the fire service; when he started, the 

brigade was running an old Ford v8 fire 

truck. 

“The equipment we’ve got now is so 

much better, the stuff FENZ (Fire and 

Emergency New Zealand) supply is stateof-the-art 

stuff.” 

Before holding the title of chief, Croy 

had also been the secretary, station officer, 

and then senior station officer at the 

brigade. 

Croy has attended many callouts, and 

said the first structural fire he attended 

was a small fire Sheffield Hotel. 

The same premises would become the 

scene of the biggest fire he was in charge of 

when it caught fire in 2021. 

During his time he has also been a main 

instigator for setting up multiple events 

that have raised funds for the brigade and 

community groups. One was Wheels and 

Wings, held at the weekend. 

“It’s been going for years, I can’t even 

remember when it started.” 

Croy said his family had to deal with a 

lot of disruption, especially his two daughters 

Amy and Michelle. 

“My two daughters . . . had a lifetime 

of disruption with me going to calls and 

(my) partner Heather has had 25 years of 

getting dressed up to go somewhere, then I 

have to go to a fire call.” 

Croy wanted to thank all past and 

present brigade members for their support, 

as well as the community who supported 

both him and the brigade.

Lincoln University Waimarie building 

to become ‘epicentre for education’ 

A NEW multimillion-dollar 

science building at Lincoln 

University will provide state-ofthe-art 

research facilities for the 

future. 

The building, named 

Waimarie, celebrates kā puna 

Waimarie – the bountiful lakes 

– and is identified as a facility 

that will foster great leadership, 

inspire productivity and become 

a nexus for the transmission of 

intergenerational knowledge. 

The $92 million facility, which 

included $80 million of Crown 

funding, was opened last week 

by Minister of Agriculture 

Damien O’Connor. 

“Global tensions and 

disruptions, from the likes of 

climate change, are going to 

be a part of our future as far as 

we can see. More than ever, we 

need science to deliver creative, 

innovative and smart solutions 

to managing our food security, 

resources and waste,” said 

O’Connor. 

“People need to be at the heart 

of finding these solutions and 

Lincoln University is creating 

the environment for people 

to come together to overcome 

these challenges through 

collaboration.” 

NEW: Waimarie was opened last week by Minister of Agriculture Damien O’Connor (inset). 

Waimarie replaces the 

university’s former earthquakedamaged 

science buildings. 

The 9450m 3 building 

features teaching, research 

and collaboration spaces, 

complemented by multi-use 

adjustable workstations and 

social zones. It will be home 

to the Department of Pest 

Management and Conservation, 

the Department of Soil and 

Physical Sciences, and the 

Faculty of Agriculture. 

The 417 roof and wallmounted 

solar panels on the 

building bring the University’s 

total annual solar generation 

up to 802,000 kWh, equivalent 

to the annual electricity 

requirement of 110 average 

Kiwi households. The building 

is insulated with 10 tonnes of 

locally-grown wool. 

Recycled materials were 

used wherever possible in 

the building’s construction, 

including Pulverised Fuel Ash in 

the concrete pours. Oak beams 

installed in the ground floor 

teaching spaces were milled from 

oak trees which had to be felled 

on the Lincoln campus in 2018. 

University vice-chancellor 

professor Grant Edwards said 

Waimarie will be a science 

facility for the ages. 

“Waimarie will be an epicentre 

for education and research in the 

land-based disciplines, as well 

as a hub for inter-organisational 

partnerships, industry-wide 

collaborations and centres of 

excellence,” Edwards said. 

The new science facility is part 

of the University’s wider 

campus development 

programme which has delivered 

major projects such as a new 

student hub, the redevelopment 

of the gym and the opening of an 

agricultural science building in 

July 2021. 

Further campus projects 

include a decarbonisation 

programme which supports 

the University’s goal to be 

carbon neutral by 2030 and to 

cease the combustion of coal 

by 2025, the restoration of 

Ivey West and Memorial Hall 

and an overarching visionary 

landscaping masterplan, 

which are in various stages of 

development.

LAYBY WELCOME 

Mayor Sam Broughton 

outlines what the 


wants from the next 

government 

AS OUR country prepares 

for election day and we await 

the result of conversations 

between parties following 

coalition talks, our council has 

pulled together a list of five 

priorities we know we need 

the new government, 

regardless of party, to 

prioritise for Selwyn. 

Locally, we have had a very 

successful decade with GDP 

growth the highest in the 

country, job creation very 

high and consumer spending 

again well above New Zealand 

averages. In our fast-changing 

community, there is a lot we 

can, and have had to do for 

ourselves. 

This has been paid for 

through rates, contributions 

from developers, council 

investments and some 

borrowing. However, the 

responsibility for many of the 

big projects required to be 

delivered sits with the New 

Zealand Government and 

needs national funding. 

Aotearoa is one of the most 

centralised countries in the 

OECD, meaning that most 

Sam 

Broughton 

Selwyn Mayor 

of the decision-making and 

money sits in Wellington. 

Councils combined have 

less than 10 per cent of 

total central government 

spending. I think this stifles 

New Zealand’s ability to 

serve the needs of our local 

communities, overlooks 

valuable local knowledge and 

often results in decisions that 

support short-term political 

interests rather than good 

long-term local outcomes. 

I want whoever wins 

the election in October to 

focus beyond their tenure, 

implement a four-year election 

FLOODING: The 


is calling 

for serious 

government 

investment 

in flood 

prevention as 

one of its five 

priorities. 

cycle, and prioritise future 

generations while delivering 

the necessities of today. 

I’m not standing about 

and hoping for the best. Our 

council has put together what 

we consider to be the top five 

priorities for our district, 

and I’ve been talking them 

through with the Selwyn 

candidates. I’m pleased that 

they have been so receptive. 

I have always been big on 

partnerships, and we know 

from experience that this 

is the best way to achieve 

our desired outcomes; our 

priorities are calling on the 

next government to work with 

us and build on existing work. 

Our list calls for a 24/7 

health service provision 

and improved access to 

mental health services in 

Selwyn, especially for our 

young people and in rural 

communities. We want 

serious co-investment with the 

regional council to tackle flood 

prevention. We need at least 

200 publicly owned homes 

across the district to meet the 

needs of our rapidly growing 

population. We’re also seeking 

improved co-investment to 

fix our roads and for more 

frequent public transport, 

including new routes between 

our townships. Finally, we 

want an intergenerational 

approach to restoring Te 

Waihora Lake Ellesmere to a 

healthy state. 

There are also many other 

areas of investment where we 

welcome government support, 

including education, defence, 

corrections, and policing. 

I have sent our list to all 

major political party leaders 

and welcome discussion with 

them following October 14 

to ensure the best long-term 

local outcomes for our Selwyn 

community as a growing 

influence for good on the rest 

of New Zealand.

Sex ed book continues to cause division 

Readers respond to the 

continuing controversy 

surrounding the 

sex education book 

Welcome to Sex: Your 

no-silly-questions 

guide to sexuality, 

pleasure and figuring 

it out. Written by Dr 

Melissa Kang and 

TV personality Yumi 

Stynes, the book’s 

place in libraries is 

being reviewed by the 

district council after a 

Selwyn resident raised 

issue with it in a public 

forum at the district 

council meeting 

Libraries are places where information 

is freely available for 

people to access if they choose 

to. The views of one individual 

should not dictate what others 

in the community have the right 

to read. 

There is a proliferation of 

freely available online pornography 

promoting unhealthy 

and unrealistic views of sexual 

relationships, so books about 

sexual education are necessary 

now more than ever. 

Welcome to Sex is written by 

a doctor and a journalist and 

offers factual, medically based 

information for young people 

who are seeking guidance about 

a potentially confusing phase of 

their lives. 

Welcome to Sex should be 

available for those who may feel 

more comfortable researching 

this subject on their own, or for 

parents and children to explore 

together. 

Portraying sexuality as 

something ‘disgusting’ can only 

lead to even more confusion for 

young people discovering their 

own sexuality. 

TEEN BOOK: 

Welcome to 

Sex: Your nosilly-questions 

guide to 

sexuality, 

pleasure and 

figuring it out 

has divided 

readers on 

both sides of 

the Tasman 

since it was 

published in 

May. 

There is no compulsion for 

anyone to look at books on sexuality, 

but they should be available 

for those who (want to). I trust 

the experience and expertise of 

librarians to choose books that 

will benefit young people and 

strongly oppose the request of 

one individual to make book 

content decisions on behalf of 

the rest of the community. 

-E Claire Weir 

Welcome to Sex should not be

Leave the teaching of sex 

education to parents. Schools 

should not take the place of

Western Australia pulled the 

book off shelves and only made

TM Dance World team heads to 

international competition 

Dreams and dedication are a powerful 

combination is the mantra of Darfield 

based TM Dance World. 

This inspiration has seen 10 students set their 

sights on travelling to the Showcase National 

Dance Championships, held on the Gold Coast 

in Australia next January. Dancers from all over 

the world will travel to perform at this elite 

level competition. 

TM Dance World Showcase Team at 

What Now TV Studio 

— TM DANCE WORLD SHOWCASE TEAM — 

Abigail Driscoll 

Alyssa Collings 

TM Dance World Studio Director, 

Tara McKeown, will travel with the 

team. 

“The dancers are all working hard 

to prepare for this competition. 

It takes a considerable amount 

of personal commitment from 

each of them. Seeing our dancers 

compete on an international stage 

will bring huge pride to our studio 

and community. This is a special 

opportunity as we do not travel to 

this competition regularly, the last 

time we took a team was 2015.” 

TM Dance World will compete in team and solo 

competitions over 7 days. Categories include 

jazz, contemporary and lyrical. All of the dances 

have been choreographed in the Darfield 

studio by Tara and teacher Teresa Barnhill. The 

studio had to submit videos online for judging 

to qualify for the Showcase Championships. 

“The team is so excited to be going to 

Showcase,” said dancer Abigail Driscoll. 

“We appreciate all the support we have 

received from our families, friends, local 

businesses and the wider community. I love 

dancing at TM Dance World. This opportunity 

Brianna Riddle 

Dancing at the Hororata Glow Festival 

would not be possible without Tara, her 

dedication is an inspiration and shows us 

dreams can come true if we work hard.” 

The team have competed together for nearly 

seven years and take part in competitions 

throughout the South Island each year. This 

year they have had two fabulous opportunities 

to perform in front of large audiences, including 

at the Hororata Glow Festival and on live TV 

show What Now.

DRIVER EDUCATION 

GROWING: Rotary Club 

of Lincoln members and 

Lincoln Primary School 

pupils combine forces to 

plant the school’s new 

garden beds. 

School gets garden beds 

LINCOLN PRIMARY School pupils will 

now be able to learn about growing their 

own vegetables. 

Organised over the past few months, 

Lincoln Rotary Club member David 

Boustead designed, purchased materials 

for and built the raised garden beds. Then 

rotarians installed them. 

Both rotarians and pupils filled the 

beds and planted the seeds. 

Teacher Georgie Willets said the 

students were excited about the 

opportunity. 

“The students are buzzing with 

excitement about all the things they can 

grow and learn about,” she said. 

The pupils said they can now grow 

some “yummy food”. 

The project will benefit pupils, now 

and into the future, by allowing them to 

acquire gardening skills and learn about 

plants and the environment. 

The plan going forward is that the 

project will be both financially and 

environmentally sustainable and will 

continue for many years. 

Lincoln Rotary has other projects 

for the environment, like providing an 

Environmental Seed Fund to assist local 

youth environmental projects. 

Grants of $200 have been awarded 

so far to several schools in the area to 

support their garden projects.

Principal’s Message 

Term 3 has been such an exciting term for 

Horoeka Haemata! 

Seniors have been working hard on their 

practice/derived grade examinations. 

These are important opportunities to look 

at what areas they need to improve upon 

before the NCEA external examinations at 

the end of the year. We also had the our Yr 

12 mock interviews this term and thank all 

of the local and regional businesses that 

assisted with helping our year 12 learners to 

practice their interview skills. 

In the sporting arena tournament week 

was a huge highlight of the term with some 

very pleasing results. We were particularly 

proud of the outstanding results from our 

Senior Netball and Under 15 Rugby team 

who took out their respective competitions. 

These types of events do not occur without 

a huge amount of support 

and planning and we are 

grateful to all of the 

coaches, managers and 

supporters who give 

up their time to support 

our learners. We are 

also delighted for Shaun 

Kempton with his selection 

into the New Zealand Secondary Schools 

Rugby team. 

Term three also saw the announcement 

of our 2024 school leaders. It is exciting 

to know we will be in very good hands 

in the leadership space next year with 

an outstanding group of young leaders 

appointed to the positions. 

Two of the largest events of the cultural 

calendar also occurred in term three. 

Our Kahui Ako Culturefest and the inter 

whanau Haka Competition where both 

outstanding. These events showcased a 

sense of belonging and pride in culture 

both within our school and as a part of our 

wider community. It was fantastic for these 

events to fall within Te Wiki o te Reo Māori 

this year. 

The Arts also took center stage with the 

X factor a hit again this year with a huge 

range of awesome acts. Izzy Stanners blew 

the judges away with a country number 

to take out the overall winner for 2024. We 

look forward to being able to acknowledge 

more of our artistic talents in the Arts and 

Culture award in term 4. 

Building work continues in the college 

ground with both the extension and 

covered courts. Both will further enhance 

teaching and learning facilities on the 

current campus. Work on the new site will 

begin next month. 

We thank our local community for the 

support of the college. It takes a village and 

we have a great one. 

Head Students 2024 

What a busy term filled with so many 

great events. As Head Students we are so 

fortunate to host and run so many events 

at school and in our community. 

Some highlights for us was the Kahui Ako 

Culturafest. Dakota opened the event 

with Karakia and Mihi. Followed by so 

many wonderful performances. 

Hosting the Student leadership 

announcement evening was special as 

we remember when we were Year 12s 

awaiting who would be in leadership. We 

look forward to helping the 2024 leaders 

transition in to their roles for next year, 

congratulations to you all. Next term we’ll 

take the 2024 Head Students to Methven 

for a leadership day. 

Rolleston College Xfactor was 

amazing. 19 students made the finals. 

Congratulations to all who took part, and 

Izzy for taking it out. 

Random Acts of Kindness Week and 

Mental Health Awareness week were 

amazing events too run by our R2F 

Captains. 432 

Our year is nearly at an end, we will be 

finishing off assessments and preparing 

for external assessments. In week 3 we 

celebrate with Spirit Week for all Year 

13s. Then Week 4 we have our Leavers 

Celebration followed by Prize Giving at 

the Christchurch Town Hall. 

Dakota, Gemma, Thomas, Ted and Ezra. 

Haka Competition 

Our Haka competition in 2024 saw the 

whole school pack our Selwyn Sports 

Center. It was led by Kapa Haka Ropu 

from Ako Haemata and Head Student 

Dakota Stokes. Each Whanau showed 

so much heart and mana. The placing 

this year were judged by Mrs Skelton, Ms 

Ralph and Matua Timi 

The day ended with a powerful full 

school haka to staff.

Top three the target for veteran 


BARRY Washbourne will be 

the oldest clay target shooter 

at the Oceania continental 

championships in Brisbane. 

But that won’t stop the 

Ellesmere club man from 

firing on all cylinders against 

competitors who weren’t even 

born when he took up the 

sport. 

Throughout his 40-year career, 

Washbourne has competed 

in three different disciplines, 

represented New Zealand 12 

times and travelled the world. 

This month, the two-time 

national champion will compete 

in the skeet events at the Oceania 

competition for a fourth time. 

Washbourne, 64, admits 

the competition will be tough, 

considering the majority are in 

their 20s. 

“I’m by far the oldest competitor 

there,” he said. 

“I’ve only taken on this discipline 

in the last 10 years and 

probably should’ve taken it up 

40-odd years ago.” 

But age is just a number for 

Washbourne, who goes into 

the competition as the secondranked 

New Zealander, behind 

Paul Wilson. Washbourne 

scored 299 in his best three 

events since September last year, 

while Wilson top-scored with 

322. 

Washbourne will be looking 

to improve on his best placing of 

fifth, which he achieved in 2017. 

“Obviously doing better than 

fifth is the goal, a placing like 

first, second or third would be 

the best,” he said. 

“Just as high of a result as I can 

manage.” 

He will also compete in the 

new mixed pairs event with 

Christchurch’s Chloe Tipple. 

Eleven countries from Guam 

to Norfolk Island will take part 

in the eight-day, biennial event. 

Because of Covid, it will be the 

first Oceania competition since 

2019. 

Although there is one Paris 

Olympic qualification up for 

grabs, the ins and outs of being 

able to qualify as the ‘quota’ 

makes Washbourne’s chances 

difficult. 

“It’s quite a long-winded 

process and to be picked for 

your country, you have to fly to 

compete at the world (championships) 

next year,” he said. 

“Nine out of 10 miss the quota 

to go to the Olympics due to the 

EXPERIENCE: 

Barry Washbourne 

will compete in 

his fourth Oceania 

continental 

championships, 

in Brisbane this 

month. He is 

pictured at the 

2019 event. 

certain requirements. 

“And in New Zealand, they 

expect you to finish in the top 

15 (at the Olympics) – that’s the 

standard they set.”

Oceania continental 

championships will be

results the school achieved and 

attributed them to the team’s 

parents. 

“There was a huge amount 

of satisfaction from watching 

individuals start and improve 

to the point where they can 

win championships and 

there is nothing better than 

seeing the smiles on their 

faces,” he said. 

Coaches David and brother 

Colin Miller are both very 

experienced, having represented 

New Zealand multiple times in 

Macintosh International teams 

and the Glen Eden team. 

The success of the team this 

year and over the past 8 years is 

a direct result of their efforts and 

dedication. 

This year, Lincoln also won 

the South Island secondary 

school title in Dunedin, the 

Field Family Cup for open 

Canterbury school team of the 

year, the Morris/Greig Cup for 

ladies’ Canterbury school team 

of the year, the Canterbury 

clay target club championships 

school trophy and the Timaru 

intercollegiate open and ladies’ 

team titles. 

In addition to these achievements, 

there have been a 

significant number of incredible 

individual performances and 

skeet team accomplishments. 

Several members have been 

selected for the New Zealand 

Macintosh junior team, 

Oceania team, South Island 

teams and Canterbury teams 

throughout the year. 

Lincoln’s clay target team 

and their families would like 

to thank the Waihora Clay 

Target Club, Gun City, Roper 

and Son, Summerset and all of 

the local businesses that were 

so supportive of the Ethel and 

Bethel Hamilton Trip Fundraiser. 

Without this support, the trip 

to Hamilton and subsequent 

achievements may not have been 

possible.

The 

YUMMI 

study. 

The role of cow, goat or sheep milk in 

the nutrition and health of older women. 

Milk provides important nutrients that help older people to maintain 

muscle and bone health, and low milk intake is often associated with 

poor nutrition in older adults. 

We are looking for female volunteers aged 60 to 80 years to participate 

in the YUMMI study, a 12-week research study investigating the health 

effects of consuming different types milk – cow, goat, or sheep. 

We will provide you with cow, goat or sheep milk powder to drink 

twice a day for 12-weeks, or you will be asked to eat your normal diet 

(control group). The time commitment for the study will be about 11 

hours and you will attend five clinic visits. You will receive up to $220 in 

supermarket vouchers in recognition of the actual or reasonable costs 

involved with participating in this study (e.g. parking and/or travel costs). 

If you are a woman aged 60 to 80 years and can drink milk, we would 

love to hear from you.

Just like home in the Himalayas 

Returning for its third time on air, Faces of Selwyn 2023 features six residents 

sharing their journey to Selwyn from across the globe. 

This year’s podcast episodes were recorded at PlainsFM, hosted by three 

New Zealand Broadcasting School students Charlotte Mulder, Katie Oliver 

and Davina Zimmer. 

In one episode, Davina sits down with Amulya from Nepal to hear his story. 

Listen to this story on PlainsFM https://plainsfm.org.nz/prog/facesofselwyn 

or read more below. 

Born in the southern part of Nepal, close to the Indian 

border, Amulya grew up on the flat plains of a small 

rural village, nestled in the shadows of the Himalayas. 

He’s very used to the diversity of Kiwi weather, having 

grown up in a desert-like climate with sweltering 

summers and equally chilly winters. School was 

a daily 6km cycle/walk away, and after completing 

his secondary education, he moved to Kathmandu to 

start college. 

After a few years Amulya wanted something more and 

began looking beyond the Nepalese borders. Deterred 

from Aotearoa New Zealand because he’d been told 

that no people actually live there, he moved to Australia 

where he got his Bachelor’s degree. 

Homesickness drew him back to home soil where he met the woman who would 

later become his wife. But things weren’t going so well in Nepal, and with a civil war 

making job hunting difficult they decided to make the move to Aotearoa for better 

career opportunities. Several years, plenty of challenges and one beautiful baby boy 

later, they are proud to call Selwyn their home. 

Amulya loves the people, community and the flat terrain with the southern alps 

peeking out in the distance. Amulya looks back on the rumours of no one living in 

New Zealand and laughs. 

He’s glad he took the plunge, extremely content with the life he’s built in Selwyn, 

saying it feels just like home. 

Youth Council — Be the Change 

Know a young person who would be an excellent representative for their 

community? The Selwyn Youth Council is looking for new members. 

Applications for the 2024 Youth 

Council are now open, with young 

people aged 12–24 who live in the 

district welcome to apply by 

31 October. 

The Youth Council provides a voice 

for Selwyn’s rangatahi, and delivers 

projects designed to support youth. 

It also consults with the community 

and provides advice to the 

Selwyn District Council. 

Selwyn Youth Councillor Makaira 

Halliday says the group is a great space to meet other likeminded people 

with similar passions. 

“It’s a great starting point for rangatahi who want to provide a voice for 

youth and strengthen their wellbeing. Through my time with the Youth 

Council, I’ve been part of efforts to get the new Rolleston Youth Hub up 

and running, as well as the new skate park.” 

Fellow Youth Councillor, Mackenzie Wills says, “The Youth Council has 

opened doors for me to have a real-life impact on my community. 

My experience has been nothing but positive and I would recommend 

the Youth Council to anyone who wants to share their voice and 

break stereotypes.” 

To see the selection process or apply to be a Selwyn Youth Councillor, 

visit selwyn.govt.nz/youthcouncil. Application forms must be completed 

by 31 October. 

Helping newborns and ageing well 

In just a few weeks, the SWELL Seniors' Lifestyle Expo will be taking 

place for older residents to connect with more than 100 community clubs, 

organisations and wellbeing providers and have a great day out. 

The expo will be held on Monday 16 October from 9am–2pm at the Lincoln 

Event Centre. SWELL celebrates the wellbeing and inclusion of Selwyn’s 

older residents, who can listen to insightful guest speakers, participate in 

fun activities, and enjoy a variety of food vendors and local market stalls. 

One of this year’s stallholders is Lisa Paget, who runs a programme in the 

Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Christchurch Women's Hospital for 

babies/pēpi, called Cuddle Hearts. It works by having the mother and baby 

wear a fabric heart and swap them over at the end of the day, so they have 

each other’s scent. This can help reduce anxiety and increase bonding. 

“Some of our older folks would know someone or would have had family go 

through NICU and understand how tough that journey is,” says Lisa. “We’ve 

had a lot of grandparents wanting to help by making Cuddle Hearts, the 

stitching is easy to follow and it’s something positive to do. The feedback 

that we get from parents is overwhelming.” 

“People can pick up a pack with fabric, a pattern and instructions from any 

of the libraries in Selwyn, and we plan to have some made up for the 

SWELL Expo. I’m really looking forward to participating.” 

The Cuddle Heart programme needs about 3000 hearts every year. 

Volunteers also help Lisa to sanitise, iron and package the hearts before 

they get delivered to the hospital. To find out more about Cuddle Hearts, 

email nicucuddlehearts@gmail.com or call Lisa on 0275210320. 

A two-week series of fun activities called The SWELL Series is also 

happening after the expo, running from 17–26 October 2023. From high tea 

and fitness classes to walks and bingo — there is something for everyone. 

You can find more information at selwyn.govt.nz/swell or pick up a copy of

All-time team a nod to golden era 

LINCOLN CRICKET Club’s alltime 

team was the high-point of 

75th anniversary celebrations on 

Friday night. 

Wal Scott was named captain 

and No 1 in the batting order, 

while a special presentation was 

made to all-time player Eion 

Barclay who had the distinction 

of claiming all 10 wickets in 

an innings against Tai Tapu on 

October 26, 1968. 

Committee member Andrew 

Morris said Lincoln had come a 

long way since its debut competition 

match again Druids in 1947. 

“Lincoln enjoyed a golden 

period through the 70s and 80s, 

winning 12 of 14 Ellesmere competitions 

and numerous other 

titles. It was no surprise that 

players from that era dominated 

the all-time team selection.” 

The all-time in batting order: 1 

Wal Scott (captain), 2 Bob Kerr, 

3 Mike Allen, 4 Thomas Frey, 5 

Greg Lewis, 6 Jeremy Benton, 

7 Murray Page, 8 Wyn Jones, 9 

Brent Lewis, 10 Dean Judson, 11 

75TH ANNIVERSARY: Wal Scott (left) presenting a framed record to Eion Barclay for his ‘10-for’ against Tai Tapu in 1968. 

Attending all-time 11 selected players, top row: Thomas Frey (left), Jeremy Benton, Greg (son of the Late Wyn) Jones, 

Dean Judson, Brent Lewis. Front row: Eion Barclay, Murray Page, Wal Scott, Bob Kerr. 

Eion Barclay. 

Said Morris: “Another reason 

for the club to celebrate is the 

re-emergence of the Lincoln premier 

team. After being unable to 

field a team last season and combining 

with Diamond Harbour, 

the team through the efforts of 

new captain, Tom Cross, and his 

lieutenants are back and already 

have a pre-season win under 

their belt.” 

The competition starts this 

weekend; Lincoln has the bye. 

Club president Tony McKenzie 

said Friday was a great night. 

“It was a fantastic night, 

not only in celebrating the 

achievements and stories of 

players past, of which there 

were many, but also with several 

of our young premier team in 

attendance, to welcome in 

the future.” 

Southbridge finishes tour on top 

WIN: Southbridge 

beat Melrose 33- 

21 on 4G turf to 

close out their 

international tour. 

Right – Many of the 

Southbridge tour 

group travelled to 

Paris for the day 

while in London. 


SOUTHBRIDGE beat Scottish 

club Melrose 33-21 in a tight 

battle to end their United 

Kingdom tour with a 2-1 record. 

For the club’s rugby 

development manager Chris 

McMillan, the highlight of the 

tour was beating Melrose at the 

‘greenyards’ – the place where 

rugby sevens was born. 

“The tour has been a great 

success, winning two from three, 

and getting a win in our last 

game versus Melrose was a great 

way to finish,” he said. 

“The real success of the tour 

was the bonds the whole tour 

group has made, which will be 

life-long.” 

The clash against Melrose was 

a special game for Southbridge, 

as eight players from the Scottish 

club had played for Southbridge 

in recent years. 

“Our connections go back 

over 10 years with Melrose,” 

McMillan said. 

“It was the first time for all 

our players playing on a 4G turf. 

The game was very fast and very 

physical and a fantastic game 

to watch, which kept the crowd 

on the edge of their seats all 

game.” 

However, Southbridge got out 

to a blitzing start. 

Hamish Maw, Adam Stone 

and Jone Taufaga all managed 

to dot down with Jack Johnston 

converting the three tries to see 

Southbridge go out to an early 

21-0 lead. 

Melrose were able to fight back 

with a try of their own before 

wing Cowan Estall scored at the 

end of the first half. 

Despite two more tries to 

Melrose in the second half, lock 

Daniel Michael was able to put 

the game out of reach for the 

Scots, scoring in the latter stages 

of the match. 

The tour took two years of 

planning. McMillan hopes to 

run another one in the future. 

“I hope in the future we could 

have a tour like this every six 

years, if possible. 

“I think everyone . . . would 

agree this tour has been very 

special.” 

His advice to other clubs 

wanting to take a team outside 

of New Zealand was to start 

planning early. 

“It takes a lot of dedication and 

commitment to pull a tour like 

this off. 

“It is also important to have 

good connections with the 

clubs you are looking at playing 

against to make life easy.” 

McMillan said the accompanying 

team management was 

“extremely proud” of the efforts 

of the players and how they 

embraced the Barbarians 

theme. 

“A special thanks goes to all 

our supporters that joined us 

for the tour, of which we had 

around 40. I am sure they all 

enjoyed it very much and they 

certainly added a lot to the 

tour. 

“Finally I would like to thank 

all our sponsors that made 

this trip possible, without your 

support it would never had 

happened.”

Kempton takes top sports award 


SHAUN KEMPTON’S stellar 

season – which resulted in 

selection for the New Zealand 

Schools rugby team – has seen 

him claim Rolleston College’s 

sportsperson of the year award. 

The Selwyn Schools first XV 

captain was also awarded rugby 

player of the year at the school, 

while Kempton’s mum Nicola 

took home the JF Reid Memorial 

Cup for her services as team 

manager. 

In the last week, Kempton 

played for NZ Schools against 

the Australia under-18 side in 

Canberra, demolishing the Australians 

34-3 in the first of two 

matches. 

Awards recognition also went 

to Rolleston’s senior A netball 

side, who were promoted to 

SuperNet Reserve and won the 

South Island secondary schools’ 

B grade this year. 

The team’s 35-26 win over 

Burnside High claimed the 

director of sport’s moment of the 

year award, while coach Denise 

Keno took out the coaching accolade. 

Meanwhile, the school’s mixed 

touch team, which won the 

national schools title in 2022, 

was named team of the year. 

They will look to defend their 

title in Rotorua in December.

Republican Party heads to NZ Cup 

• By Michael Guerin 

TEAM DALGETY’S dream 

double at Addington may have 

left them looking for a New 

Zealand Cup driver. 

West Melton husband and wife 

training team Cran and Chrissie 

Dalgety combined to win the 

two pacing features on Friday 

night with Republican Party 

downing many of the best pacers 

in the Lamb and Hayward 

Canterbury Classic after Coney 

Island Lou won the Kennard 

Bloodstock Lazarus Stakes. 

Both used the passing lane to 

beat more favoured rivals who 

had harder runs, but both wins 

were arrivals in the big time that 

showed the pair deserve to be 

in our biggest races, which for 

Republican Party means the IRT 

NZ Cup and the NZ Derby for 

Coney Island Lou. 

The only slight issue for 

Republican Party is that Blair 

Orange drove him on Friday 

night and he will be busy at cup 

time trying to three-peat with 

Copy That. 

The stable’s usual driver Carter 

will likely be sticking with Krug, 

WINNERS ARE GRINNERS: Driver Blair Orange with trainers Chrissie and Cran Dalgety

who placed a slightly luckless 

fourth, not getting much room 

down the home straight last 

night. 

“We will worry about that one 

a week or two out from the cup,” 

says Cran about the musical 

sulky seats. 

“He has always been a good 

horse so there will be a few keen 

to drive him, but the cup will 

now be his aim because he has 

earned his shot.” 

The win was revenge for 

Republican Party over his derby 

conqueror last season in Akuta, 

who was a brave second on 

Friday after sitting parked, while 

Macandrew Aviator is also into 

the cup after his big-finishing 

third, adding some feelgood to 

the great race. 

A little further back, Bach was 

good, Mossdale Ben unlucky, 

Self Assured looked in need of 

the run and Aardie’s Express 

gave the best indication yet after 

leading that this year’s cup might 

not be her best target. 

Her stablemate B D Joe was 

knocked out of the race in an 

early skirmish. 

Dalgety said a largely 

unsuccessful trip to Menangle 

earlier this year has proved the 

making of Republican Party. 

“I don’t think it matters where 

you travel them, getting them 

out of their comfort zone helps 

them mature and it definitely has 

for him.” 

His immediate plans are 

unsure but Dalgety hints the 

Kaikoura Cup could be a good 

target for Republican Party on 

his way to the IRT NZ Cup. 

Coney Island Lou held out 

the large charges from Who’s 

Delight and Charlie Brown 

to win the Lazarus, with hot 

favourite Don’t Stop Dreaming 

very close up in fourth after 

being parked in the 55.2 last 

800m. 

It was Coney Island Lou’s 

second major win on end and 

third lifetime, but Dalgety says 

he hasn’t been the easiest equine 

project. 

“He used to be a crazy thing,” 

he laughs. 

“When we started with him 

he was a ball of nervous energy 

and hard to control but he is very 

good now. 

“He has got to the stage with 

his last two wins, he deserves 

his shot at the derby – so that is 

where we will aim him.” 

There was plenty to like about 

the second and third horses 

while both feature paces showed 

trainer Mark Purdon was right 

this week when he warned 

punters his returning superstars 

would be vulnerable. 

Earlier in the night Muscle 

Mountain reminded everyone 

who the best trotter in the South, 

and maybe the most talented in 

the whole of Australasia, is when 

he overcame his 20m handicap 

with ease in the Paul Renwick 

Trot. 

He was patiently driven by Ben 

Hope and went from sixth to 

leading inside 200m on the home 

bend and bolted clear jogging 

57.2 for his last 800m. 

– Harness Racing Desk 

Orange to follow in mum and dad’s footsteps 

• By Brigette Solomon 

BLAIR ORANGE is a five-time 

winner of the New Zealand 

drivers premiership. 

And now another Orange is 

getting closer to joining the race 

day driving ranks – his son Harrison. 

The 16-year-old earned his trials 

licence in April and started to 

work for the successful Purdon 

and Phelan Racing Stable at 

Clevedon in May. 

“I’ve competed in kidz kartz 

from about age 10 and have spent 

every school holidays since I was 

12 helping out at the Dunn’s stable 

in Woodend,” said Harrison. 

“I’ve always wanted to pursue a 

career in harness racing so when 

I finished school this year it was 

mum and dad that suggested 

Barry Purdon and Scott Phelan’s 

stable might be a good fit for 

me.” 

His mother Lisa Godsall had 

success as a junior driver. 

“I’m loving it here,” said Harrison. 

“Barry and Scott are great to 

work for and I’m learning heaps 

and working with some nice 

horses.” 

The Purdon/Phelan stable has 

long been associated with producing 

talented junior drivers, 

including current leading North 

Island junior driver Crystal 

Hackett. 

Phelan has been impressed 

with Harrison’s work ethic. 

“He’s a really good kid, he sits 

nicely in the cart and they seem 

to run for him too which is a 

very good start.” 

Godsall said as parents they 

were “apprehensive” about him 

driving. 

“John Dunn was amazing in 

helping him achieve his trials 

licence,” she said. 

“Bob Butt was also good 

enough to take his trotter Heston 

Hall to the Hurunui Picnic Races 

in February for Harrison to drive 

and he won the race which was 

pretty awesome!” 

Said Blair Orange: “We’ve 

always told Harrison it doesn’t 

matter who his parents are, he 

has to walk his own footsteps 

and write his own story – there 

will be no expectations around 

driving from us”. 

Orange said he does not feel

any pressure to live up to his dad. 

“No, definitely not at this stage. 

I’m pretty close with dad and he 

told me he wasn’t the top Junior 

Driver out there when he started 

driving.” 

“For now my goals are to keep 

getting experience driving at the 

trials, learn as much as I can and 

get my junior driver’s licence 

next year.”

GARDENING 


Prepare soil before it’s too late 

FOR MANY years, Labour 

Weekend has been the traditional 

time for planting out a full range 

of summer vegetables and flowers. 

Hopefully you have planned 

ahead and prepared your soil 

ready for planting. If not, then 

add in plenty of compost or 

garden mix and combine well 

with your existing soil before you 

plant out. 

There is something special 

about growing your own vegetables 

– watching them grow from 

seed/seedling to a scrumptious 

crop through your own tender 

loving care might be why they 

taste better! 

No matter how big or small the 

space available; you can successfully 

grow veges in regular garden 

beds, raised beds or in pots and 

containers. 

Tasty vegetables to plant now 

include beans, beetroot, carrots, 

celery, corn, cucumber, onions, 

peas, pumpkin, radish, potatoes, 

spinach, tomatoes and zucchini, 

not to mention the great range of 

lettuces available. 

If space really is an issue, 

there are plenty of dwarf 

varieties you can grow. For 

plants that need support like 

tomatoes or beans, put your 

support stakes/structures in place 

before you plant your young 

plant – so you don’t disturb the 

roots later on. Use old pantyhose 

to tie plants to support structures 

– they are soft, so won’t damage 

the stem. 

Summer flowering annuals 

can also be planted now in either 

beds or large containers. Flower 

varieties to grow are alyssum, 

aster, cornflower, cosmos, livingstone 

daisy, lobelia, marigold, 

nemesia, portulaca, petunia, statice, 

salvia, stock, sunflowers and 

zinnia – to name just a few. 

Also, think about planting 

some varieties in your vegetable 

garden to help attract bees and 

other beneficial insects to aid 

pollination. 

Fresh herbs can also now be 

safely planted, such as basil, 

chives, dill, marjoram, mint, 

oregano, parsley, sage, tarragon, 

thyme and rosemary. 

They can be grown successfully 

in containers or in the garden, 

preferring a hot, free-draining 

site. 

As trees and shrubs come 

into spring growth use fertiliser 

include your fruit and citrus 

trees. 

Do not apply fertiliser in very 

dry hot conditions such as the 

peak of summer when plants 

can suffer from heat or moisture 

stress.

SELWYN RURAL LIFE 

Advertising Feature 

Did you know? 

About the Show 

• By Isabelle Teresa 

Did you know… 

1) Ellesmere A&P is one of the first 

shows of the season. Ellesmere A&P 

is excited to be part of a new series 

competition this year, in conjunction 

with Northern, Ashburton and NZ 

Agricultural Shows. This competition 

is a points-based series, designed to 

encourage competitors to enter all four 

Shows. The winners will be announced 

at the NZAG Show in Christchurch, 

November 15–17. 

2) An exciting feature this time round 

is that the Selwyn Heritage Park is 

holding an open day in conjunction with 

the Show. The entrance will be signposted 

through the Showgrounds only. The 

trust committee is thrilled to show the 

fascinating and thoughtfully created 

displays that have been put together by 

volunteers over the last 12 months. You 

will also be able to visit Carroll Cottage, 

with its charming plantings of herbs, 

catmint, lavender and geraniums, all 

old-fashioned plants that would have 

been around in 1900. Donations will be 

welcome. 

3) The vast variety of events and 

experiences at the Show means 

that there’s something to appeal to 

everybody. Check out the Wearable 

Arts competition, the BBQ competition 

called Smoke @ the Lake, the Selwyn’s 

Got Talent stage, fantastic hospitality and 

retail stalls and the large side-show alley. 

4) Essential info – it is cash only at 

the gate. There is an ATM at the BNZ 

on Leeston High Street, a two-minute 

drive or a 16-minute walk from the 

Showgrounds. Eftpos facilities will be 

available on the grounds. 

5) If you need to nip into Leeston, 

this is easily done via the tail-end of 

the Doyleston to Leeston walk/cycle 

path, which opened in 2020, and goes 

right past the Showgrounds. It is fully 

accessible. 

6) Although our eyes will all be on 

Selwyn on October 14, the rest of the 

country is having this little thing called, 

mmm what is it again, oh yes The 

General Election. If you need to vote 

on the day, your closest option to the 

Showgrounds is at Leeston Consolidated 

School, at 19 Selwyn Street. This is a twominute 

drive or a 14-minute walk from 

the Showgrounds. The polling booths will 

be open there from 9am to 7pm, and the 

building is fully accessible.

Reduction Water Filter Solution 

If you want to reduce chlorine in your water we have a solution, be it 

under bench single tap or whole house. 

Whole house chlorine reduction makes more sense than just treating 

one tap in the kitchen. You only need to use one 20” large housing and 

a 20” carbon filter cartridge. 

What ever the issues is with your water we will have a solution that fits 

your requirement, so call into our shop at Pumps & Filters, 551 Halswell

In praise of the humble barn cat 


If you have a barn, you have cats. The 

decision is, whether to have a succession 

of feral aggressive ones or the stable, 

friendly presence of barn cats. 

All cats are born wild. If lovingly 

handled by the age of four weeks, 

a kitten becomes domesticated. If 

respectfully cared for from around 6–12 

weeks old, it becomes tolerant of human 

presence, and probably far friendlier 

than that. If a kitten has no early human 

interaction, or negative ones, it stays 

wild. 

To turn a wild/feral cat into a barn 

cat, you must get it neutered to keep it 

calm, healthy and safe. Many pet rescue 

agencies and local vets do this for free, 

although they are overburdened in 

Spring kitten season so ring around. 

It’s the internationally-used TNR 

method – trap, neuter, return. The cat 

must be released back to where it knows 

as home. One ear will be (painlessly) 

tipped, so it can be identified from a 

distance as de-sexed. 

From here it’s up to you – keep the 

cat in the cage for one night, and start 

giving it a few biscuits each night. This 

ensures that the cat has a baseline level 

of survival food, and that it will also 

start to appreciate you. 

We did this with three wild kittens, 

who are now a fun aspect of our wider 

family. The boy has a large roaming 

circuit, and only drops by for cuddles 

and biccies a couple of nights every few 

weeks. One girl bonded to my husband 

who works regularly in the barn. On 

his non-barn days, she waits on our 

doorstep for attention. The other girl is 

independent by day, but loves walking 

round the property with us at night. 

Now they know they love stroking, 

they purr enthusiastically but are 

(cutely) unrefined – they’ll head-boomp 

too hard, and thrust into strokes off 

balance. 

They love outdoor life and have no 

interest in coming into the house, so 

there have been no issues with our 

spoilt, floofy domestic cats. The barn 

cats are tougher but younger, so know 

their place. Our oldest cat – who is also 

the smallest! – sets the boundaries for 

the lot of them. 

And as for the barn – well it is rodentfree, 

and the in-barn crew keeps all 

ferals away. Win win.

River flow alerts 

to your phone 

Email daniel.alvey@starmedia.kiwi by 

5pm each Wednesday 


With Queenstown’s recent, sudden 

and severe flooding in mind, it’s timely 

to ensure that you are set up to receive 

correct information as and when you 

could need it, if (or when!) flooding hits 

the Selwyn District again. 

Environment Canterbury (ECan) 

offers a free text alert system via text 

message. To register, just text “Selwyn” 

to 3730. It is free to register and to 

receive the texts. You can opt out 

anytime by texting “Cancel” to the same 

number. 

Across the district, ECan is regularly 

measuring river flow, and water levels 

at multiple rivers and lakes. Once you’re 

registered, you’ll get a text when certain 

high-flow river levels are met. There are 

three levels of alert. 

It’s important to note that receiving 

an alert text is not an instruction to 

evacuate – what you should do in 

response is go on to ecan.govt.nz/ 

riverflow to monitor river flows that 

could affect you, and take appropriate 

action for your property. 

You may also be interested in 

receiving even more detailed and regular 

information. ECan can send daily river 

flow information to your mobile, for 30 

cents per message, which is charged by 

your carrier, not by ECan. In that case, 

you need to be more specific, and select 

what they refer to as the “shortcode” for 

the river that you want to monitor. The 

list of shortcodes is also on ecan.govt.nz/ 

riverflow. 

ECan will not share your phone 

number or use it for promotional 

purposes. 

Whether you have emergency or 

ongoing needs, receiving the correct 

information in a timely way is 

invaluable.

Electric Ford Mustang worthy of the badge 

Motoring with Bob Nettleton 

THE MACH-E is a truly 

transformational EV that is 

sending Ford’s iconic Mustang 

charging into an exciting fully 

electrified future, complete with 

similar performance to the burly 

V8 models associated with this 

famous US muscle car. 

This is the first production 

Ford developed from the groundup 

to deliver pure-electric, 

zero-emission driving. There is a 

choice of single-motor rear-wheel 

drive and dual-motor all-wheel 

drive performance. In GT AWD 

form it has a claimed 0-100km/h 

sprint time of just 3.7 seconds. 

From the outside, the Mach-E 

is instantly recognisable as a 

Mustang with signature elements 

such as its long, sculptured 

bonnet, rear-haunch design, 

aggressive headlights and 

trademark tri-bar tail lamps. 

Three models are sold here 

starting with a 198kW rear-wheel 

drive priced at $79,990, allowing 

it to sneak, by the skinniest 

of margins, under the $80k 

threshold for the government’s 

$7,015 clean car rebate for full 

electric vehicles. From there it’s 

a sizeable step up to the 258kW 

AWD retailing for $109,990 and 

the subject of this review. Those 

wanting even more hyper-amped 

performance, get it in spades 

with the 358kW GT AWD. 

All this performance 

aggression comes at a cost with 

a real world all-electric driving 

range of 490km, compared to the 

550km for our test drive vehicle. 

The entry-level rear-wheel drive 

has a respectable all-electric 

driving range of 440km. 

The Mach-E features Ford’s 

Next-generation SYNC, enabling 

owners to select more than 

80 vehicle settings from cabin 

temperature and seat position to 

ambient lighting. An intelligent 

range feature accurately 

estimates your remaining electric 

driving range based on past 

driver behaviour and forecasted 

weather conditions. This feature 

goes a long way to de-stress 

range anxiety sufferers worrying 

about running out of battery and 

being stranded on some remote 

country road. 

An all-new platform has been 

developed to take full advantage 

of the performance-enhancing 

weight distribution and torque 

delivery of an all-electric power 

train. The lithium-ion battery 

is located centrally between the 

axles and beneath the floor for 

a low centre of gravity for better 

handling. 

Recharging is fast and easy. 

Ford offers an optional wall box 

to make charging from home 

faster and more convenient. 

Available in 7.4kW and 11kW 

versions, the wall-mounted 

charger can top up the Mach-E’s 

battery from 10 to 80 per cent in 

approximately 6 hours. 

There’s 1 pedal drive to help 

return more kinetic energy to 

the battery. Acceleration and 

deceleration are controlled by 

pressing or lifting-off the throttle 

for a genuine all-electric driving 

experience. The brake pedal 

remains active in case greater 

braking power is required. 

The 258kW of power produced 

by the test vehicle is plenty for 

delivering an ultra smooth 

and responsive drive that will 

win this car plenty of fans. 

Driving aggressively, which is 

tempting given the exhilarating 

performance at your disposal 

that materializes in an instant 

even with a modest prod of 

the accelerator, is a sure fire 

way to burn off a lot of battery 

quickly. Making smart use of 

the 1 pedal system goes some 

way toward replenishing the 

battery. If you want to amp up 

the excitement you can switch to 

untamed mode. This unleashes 

the full potential of the Mach-E; 

sharpening the steering, 

enhancing throttle response 

and even giving you the feel of 

downshifting on deceleration. 

Whisper mode is the most 

relaxing way to enjoy this 

revolutionary Mustang. It 

makes intelligent use of the 

brake traction control system to 

provide extra grip on wet and 

slippery surfaces. A clever single 

speed automatic adds a more 

assertive feel and appeal to the 

drivability of the test vehicle. 

Practicality is one area 

where the Mach-E trounces its 

traditional two-door Mustang 

siblings. Ford engineers and 

designers have in a master stroke 

created a vehicle that’s not only 

true to the Mustang brand, but 

offers plenty of space for five 

passengers and their luggage. 

There’s a generous 402 litres of 

load area behind the rear seats. 

A front trunk storage unit, made 

possible by the absence of a 

conventional petrol engine under 

the bonnet, offers an additional 

81 litres of storage space. It’s 

drainable, making it the perfect 

repository for wet or muddy 

sports clothing. 

On board is a host of advanced 

driver assistance technologies 

to keep you safe. Heading an 

exhaustive list is Intelligent 

Adaptive Cruise Control with 

Stop & Go and Lane Centring. 

This maintains a comfortable 

distance from traffic ahead and 

helps keep the vehicle centred 

in its lane. Park Assist takes 

the guesswork out of parking 

by automatically manoeuvring 

the vehicle into parallel parking 

spaces. 

Pre-Collision Assist with Auto 

Emergency Braking can detect 

pedestrians and cyclists in or 

near the road ahead, or who may

A backup code can be entered 

into a keypad on the B-pillar to 

unlock the vehicle. It can also 

apply your preferred vehicle 

settings before you enter by 

identifying smartphones and key

tailgate simplifies access, 

opening the rear hatch with a 

simple kicking motion under the 

rear bumper. 

The All-wheel drive system 

applies torque independently 

to the front and rear wheels 

for improved acceleration 

and handling. Unique shock 

absorbers, springs and anti-roll 

bars settings are tuned to take 

charge on our plethora of twisty 

undulating roads, and they do 

the job with aplomb. There’s 

a nice balance between ride 

comfort and handling, although 

the ride may be a bit firm for 

some tastes in low speed urban 

driving. Nicely weighted steering 

with a decent measure of road 

feel, make a good driving vehicle 

great. Poised and polished road 

holding makes the Mach-E a 

worthy bearer of the legendary 

Mustang badge.

Mission Without Borders 

visit the Sechka’s house 

with support to lift them 

out of poverty. 

Families in Ukraine 

need your help! 

The Sechka family live in a rural area 

of Sarny region, western Ukraine, in 

an old dilapidated house. Mykhailo, 

40, and his wife Nadiya, 31, work hard to 

provide for their family. They face a massive 

challenge as three of their five children have 

severe disabilities. One of their daughters 

is unable to walk at all. The health of 

their children means they need medical 

examinations, check-ups, and treatment. 

Which costs money. 

Mykhailo used to work in forestry, but 

when the war began, he lost most of his 

wages then he had to quit. Since then, he 

has focused on farming and keeps cows, 

pigs, geese, and poultry to survive. 

Son Mieko loves his parents and sees they 

are hardworking. Mykhailo must cultivate 

a lot of land to grow forage for the animals, 

and vegetables and grain for the family. He 

was using an old tractor that he bought 15 

years ago. The tractor is 50 years old and 

required constant repair. Mykhailo says that 

after each working day he had to repair it 

and it wasn’t worth the money. Since then, 

the old tractor became a place where Mieko 

and his siblings play. 

Despite Mykhailo and Nadiya’s efforts, 

the family’s situation became very difficult. 

The loss of income, health issues and the 

ongoing war has taken its toll. 

Mieko’s family need help with resources, 

such as tools and machinery, so they can 

grow food for themselves. 

Right now, the Ukrainian economy 

is shrinking, and inflation is rising. So, 

supporting families just like Mieko’s with a 

self-sufficiency project will be a lifeline. 

Mieko’s anxiety and uncertainty and have 

resulted in physical and psychological 

issues. There is no doubt that the impact 

of war will be felt by his family and many 

others for years to come. 

Support MiSSion Without BorderS 

At Mission Without Borders, we regularly reach 

out to Kiwis who respond by giving, praying, 

and offering their unwavering support. 

If you would like to help, here are 

some ways we can make a difference 

together: 

1. A gift of $30 will supply an emergency 

food and hygiene parcel to help 

displaced and vulnerable people in the 

Ukraine. 

2. Sponsor a family: we have families 

in Ukraine waiting right now for 

sponsorship. You can enable and 

encourage a whole family to lift 

themselves out of poverty and become 

self-sufficient for $45 a month. 

3. Consider donating towards a selfsufficiency 

project for a family like 

Mieko’s. This will give them the 

opportunity to not only survive but 

thrive ‒ $25 will provide a packet of 

seeds to grow life-sustaining fruits 

and vegetables. 

If you’d like to help in any way, please either 

visit our website mwb.org.nz/get-involved/ 

bring-hope or call us today on 0800 469 269.

A DARFIELD farmer has 

spoken of watching a man leap into 

the flooded Hawkins River to try and 

save himself after a helicopter winch 

rescue operation failed. 

Rod May had taken his tractor to 

the scene on Greendale Rd, to try and 

reach the middle-aged man who had 

been clinging to the branches of a tree 

in the rising waters on Sunday night. 

The man had driven into the 

flooded river, escaped from his car 

and ca led emergency services from 

his ce lphone which he managed to 

keep with him. 

Ultimately, a second helicopter 

winch operation plucked the man 

to safety after he was swept downstream. 

It was a happy ending to the 

ordeal which had lasted more than 

three hours. The rescue was among 

several in Canterbury on Sunday in 

flooded rivers. 

May said he and his family had just 

had dinner when a neighbour alerted 

them. Arriving about 8.50pm, he saw 

the floodwaters were too high for the 

tractor, however, he used its lights for 

i luminating the site where the man 

was. • Turn to page 5

Money 

taken 

after big 

pokie win 

• By Ba ry Clarke 

A BAR patron who won $1200 

on the pokies may have been 

targeted by thieves moments after 

she co lected the money. 

A group of men who were in 

the bar a the same time are the 

focus of police inquiries. It is 

believed they watched her being 

paid, and then quickly swooped. 

The incident happened at The 

Famous Grouse Hotel in Lincoln 

two weeks ago. 

After she was paid out a the 

bar, the men who had been 

si ting nearby went over and 

congratulated her. While she was 

distracted the money disappeared 

from her handbag. She only 

realised it was gone after she left 

the hotel. 

Police have taken CCTV 

security camera footage from the 

hotel which shows the men going 

over to the woman and mobbing 

her in a congratulatory way. The 

footage also captures a hand from 

one of the men going towards the 

bag. 

Police say they may have 

identified one of the group but 

aren’t saying anymore about 

the incident. The Selwyn Times 

understands the men are from 

the Amberley area.

Greyhound Racing New Zealand ‘on notice’, indicating 

tha the industry would be measured based on key 

performance indicators and a decision would be made 

in the coming months. The SPCA is now asking where 

are these indicators and what are they measuring?

animal welfare organisation accepts some uses of 

animals by humans provided their physical, health and 

behavioural needs are met. 

While SPCA has tried for years to work with the 

greyhound industry to improve greyhound welfare, 

the organisation says the industry has been unable to 

adequately address its animal welfare problems. 

The animal welfare group believes it is clear the 

greyhound industry cannot meet its animal welfare 

obligations and is no longer acceptable in New Zealand 

society. A recent survey carried out by an independent 

research company on behalf of SPCA reports that 

74% of New Zealanders would vote to ban greyhound 

racing in a referendum.

SPRING IS a time when it’s 

desirable to be working is the 

garden. 

However, there are hidden 

dangers and one of those is 

developing legionnaires’ disease. 

Here are some guidelines to 

avoid that happening 

•Minimise the amount of dust 

present when working in the 

garden. 

• Water gardens and indoor 

plants using a gentle spray. 

• Read the warning label on 

bagged composts or po ting mix. 

• Wear gloves. 

• Wear a mask so that any dust 

is filtered out before you can 

breathe it in. 

• Dampen po ting mixes before 

use. 

• Open bags of soil products 

slowly, away from the face. 

• Make sure the working area 

(for example, the glasshouse or 

po ting shed) is we l ventilated. 

• See a doctor if you develop a 

flu-like i lness that seems to be 

worsening. 

• Wash hands thoroughly 

after gardening or handling soil 

products.

4 2 2 1 2 

Built by the reputable Orange Homes in 2022, this cleverly 

designed and we l-appointed family home should meet the 

requirement of many with a floor area of approx 231m². Sited 

up a private shared drive and with living spaces north west 

facing sited off the road, this home offers a sense of privacy 

for outdoor entertaining, while being located close to local 

walkways and amenities. 

Immaculately presented with low maintenance yet attractive 

landscaping, this is a good size family home neatly devised 

with the separation of the master wing from the family 

bedrooms. The spacious master offers a walk-in robe and 

quality tiled ensuite bathroom plus benefits of outdoor 

access. The remaining three double bedrooms are connected 

by the ha lway and serviced by a beautiful tiled bathroom with 

separate toilet. 

Basking in natural sunlight is the spacious open plan kitchen/ 

dining/living area, fi led with natural light from the perfect 

window placement and the skylight above the kitchen island. 

Designed for family living, this floor plan promotes an easy 

transition for indoor/outdoor entertaining options. Attention 

to a quality build is evident throughout, and showcased in the 

kitchen with a granite bench top, walk in pantry and Bosch 

appliances. Storage options have been we l thought out and 

the home benefits from an internal access oversized double 

car garage that has a bespoke laundry area.

In a highly desirable and practical location, this beautifully 

presented, low-maintenance 150sqm (more or less) home 

will attract interest from a range of buyers including 

families, professionals, investors and those searching for 

an easy-care home nearby to township amenities. 

The clever layout and carefully designed features are 

complemented by three double bedrooms (master with 

walk-in robe), a family bathroom, a separate toilet, and 

the added convenience of a separate laundry. The wellappointed, 

open-plan kitchen has been thoughtfully 

configured and features a lovely bay window, flowing 

seamlessly to the open-plan dining/living area with a 

sunny, north-facing aspect. 

The neutral colour scheme lends a warm, inviting

[Edition datE] 

What can I do if there’s a 

problem with my new home? 

Buying something as big as a house is a big deal that can 

have a serious impact on your family and financial wellbeing. 

Real Estate Authority (REA) say this 

is why it’s important for buyers to do 

as much homework as they can before 

buying a property. 

We believe it’s much better to spend a 

few hundred dollars on an independent 

report by an accredited building 

inspector than face having to spend 

thousands of dollars on fixing any issues 

after the fact. 

It can be tempting to settle for the easy 

option of using a pre-prepared report, but 

if you haven’t paid for it yourself you have 

no way of ensuring that it’s legitimate 

or being able to take action against the 

inspector for an inadequate assessment. 

If you’re looking to buy, it’s smart to 

find out as much as you can about the 

property, including getting someone to 

help you understand the outcome of any 

report on the building or land. 

In some cases, issues are noted on 

property reports but buyers are in such a 

hurry that they miss them. 

If a report uncovers an issue, get legal 

advice first if you want to negotiate with 

the seller on price. 

If you end up buying a property and 

discover a serious issue that you think the 

seller or the real estate agent failed to tell 

you about, the first step is to write down 

what happened when you bought the 

property. 

Gather all the relevant documentation, 

such as the building report, the LIM and 

the sale and purchase agreement. 

“If the property was sold by a licensed 

real estate agent, make notes of any 

conversations you had with them. If 

the property was sold privately, make 

notes of any dealings with the seller. Add 

any new information you have about 

the property, such as a building report 

or assessment that notes the problems 

you’ve found.” 

Think too about what your best-case 

scenario outcome is: do you want an 

apology, compensation, or remediation 

(or all three)? 

It’s important to get legal advice to fully 

understand your options. 

A lawyer will advise you on whether 

you have a case against the seller and 

what your next move should be, based on 

the information you’ve gathered. 

If appropriate, they can help you 

negotiate with the seller or act against 

them. Be aware that you may not be in a 

very strong position unless you can prove 

that the seller or the real estate agent 

knowingly covered up the issue. 

If it appears that the real estate agent is 

responsible in some way, it’s best that you 

deal with them directly. 

If you can’t resolve things this way, 

the REA handles complaints against 

licensed real estate agents and we can 

also help you understand expectations 

on real estate agents regarding disclosure 

of property defects. Check out rea.govt. 

nz for more information on making 

complaints. 

For independent guidance and 

information on buying or selling, check

Your guide to all things Real Estate 

in the Selwyn District 

Show your outdoor 

furniture at its best 

23 

The sun is starting to appear more regularly, 

and temperatures hint at the warm summer 

days ahead and time spent outdoors. It’s time 

to sort and clean your outdoor furniture and be 

ready to take advantage of outdoor living and 

entertaining. Here is a simple guide to cleaning 

your furniture: 

• Remove winter covers from outdoor 

furniture or bring them out from inside 

storage. 

• Check the manufacturer’s guidelines or 

labels on your furniture for specific cleaning 

recommendations. 

• Remove any loose dirt, leaves, or cobwebs 

from the furniture’s surface using a vacuum, 

broom or brush. 

• Mix a cleaning solution of mild detergent 

with water. When cleaning, pay special 

attention to areas with stains, bird droppings, 

or mould/mildew growth. 

• Clean stainless steel furniture using a 

sponge, a soft brush and the cleaning solution. 

Metal furniture might benefit from a coat of 

outdoor metal paint or rust-resistant spray to 

prevent corrosion. 

• Wooden furniture should be cleaned with 

a damp microfibre cloth and solution. Once 

cleaned, apply a wood sealer or protective finish 

(oil) to prevent UV rays and moisture damage. 

• The best way to clean wicker furniture is to 

brush off or vacuum as much surface dust and 

grit as possible. Then, use soapy water and cloth 

to scrub away mildew. 

• For fabric outdoor furniture, vacuum first, 

then use soapy water and cloth. 

• Rinse your furniture thoroughly with a 

garden hose or the low-pressure setting on a 

pressure washer. 

• Outdoor furniture cushions should be 

removed and cleaned according to their 

care instructions, e.g., spot cleaned or gentle 

machine wash. Remove and wash covers 

separately if they can be. 

• Dry furniture completely with an old towel 

or rag; leaving iron furniture wet may cause 

rust. 

Extend your outdoor furniture’s life and 

keep it fresh and inviting to make the most of 

your outdoor living with regular cleaning and 

maintenance.
