Residents<br />

caught<br />

off guard<br />

by fines<br />

• By Daniel Alvey<br />

PEOPLE ACROSS the district<br />

have been hit with parking<br />

fines as the council ramps up<br />

enforcement.<br />

Since September the council<br />

has issued 493 infringement notices<br />

across the whole district.<br />

The council started monitoring<br />

parking in October 2022, but<br />

until September this year did not<br />

have a dedicated staff member<br />

focused on parking.<br />

In the first six months from<br />

October 2022 to April, the<br />

council issued 100 infringement<br />

notices, adopting the educationfirst<br />

approach, mostly giving out<br />

warnings initially.<br />

A Leeston resident told <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

<strong>Times</strong> he got a parking ticket for<br />

his campervan sticking out over<br />

part of the footpath.<br />

He said this was the first time<br />

in six and a half years he had<br />

been told he was doing something<br />

wrong.<br />

“The only thing that upset me<br />

was how they went about doing<br />

it,” he said.<br />

The resident said he would<br />

have liked to have seen a warning<br />

given first, rather than the $40<br />

fine.<br />

Senior council manager resigns<br />

• By Daniel Alvey<br />

THE COUNCIL has lost a member of<br />

its senior leadership team.<br />

Enabling services group manager<br />

Kelvin Mason resigned earlier this<br />

month.<br />

In his role he oversaw a range of<br />

departments, including financial<br />

management, legal, human resources,<br />

and programme and performance<br />

management.<br />

Council chief executive Sharon<br />

Mason (not related) would not<br />

comment on why he left, stating it was<br />

a “private matter”.<br />

He left the job two days after he<br />

handed in his resignation.<br />

“Kelvin gave his resignation on<br />

<strong>November</strong> 8 and requested to take<br />

some time off to recharge after a busy<br />

three years here at the council. We<br />

agreed to that and he completed his<br />

time in the office on <strong>November</strong> 10,”<br />

she said.<br />

His resignation comes as the<br />

council is being audited and prepares<br />

for the 2024-34 Long-Term Plan.<br />

Sharon Mason said those processes<br />

will not be affected. Tim Harris,<br />

who is also on the executive<br />

MUCH OF THE district has<br />

significantly elevated nitrate<br />

levels.<br />

An interactive map that enables<br />

people to monitor nitrate<br />

levels in their drinking water was<br />

launched on Monday.<br />

Greenpeace Aotearoa’s Know<br />

Your Nitrate map allows users to<br />

search for information on local<br />

levels.<br />

Greenpeace has been undertaking<br />

free nitrate testing for two<br />

years, which has allowed the organisation<br />

to create a dataset that<br />

shows nitrate levels in household<br />

bore water supplies.<br />

According to Otago University<br />

scientists, 800,000 New Zealanders<br />

are at risk of drinking<br />

hazardous levels of nitrates.<br />

In <strong>Selwyn</strong>, two areas have high<br />

enough nitrate levels to make<br />

drinking groundwater unsafe.<br />

The banks of the Rakaia River<br />

near Southbridge have a nitrate<br />

level of 13.82mg/l, while part of<br />

Saunders Rd near Hororata has a<br />

level of 12.6mg/l.<br />

The data underlying the<br />

Greenpeace map is mostly selfsupply<br />

bore users in rural areas<br />

at risk of high nitrate exposure,<br />

but it also shows a number of<br />

substantial public water supplies<br />

exceeding health risk limits.<br />

Rolleston’s main water supply<br />

has a nitrate level of 3.15mg/l,<br />

higher than the mean of public<br />

supplies of 2.52 mg/l.<br />

Greenpeace Aotearoa executive<br />

director Russel Norman said the<br />

map was designed to inform and<br />

warn the public of the potential<br />

health risks of nitrate in drinking<br />

water.<br />

“Nitrate has no odour, taste or<br />

colour and is the most pervasive<br />

water contaminant in New Zealand,”<br />

he said in a statement.<br />

People living in rural areas<br />

were the most likely to be unaware<br />

of their exposure to hazardous<br />

levels of nitrate, he said.<br />

“Many rural New Zealand<br />

families in high-risk areas are<br />

drinking water from their kitchen<br />

taps without knowing whether it<br />

is contaminated with nitrates or<br />

how high those contamination<br />

levels are. Unless they pay to get<br />

it tested themselves, they have no<br />

way to know.”<br />

People using bore water should<br />

get it tested because a direct test<br />

of tap water was the only way<br />

of truly find out your potential<br />

nitrate exposure, Norman said.<br />

In addition to data already<br />

available, Greenpeace had done<br />

testing itself, Norman told Morning<br />

Report.<br />

“So there’s over 1200 tests that<br />

we’ve added . . . to the existing<br />

data and brought it all together<br />

in one place.”<br />

He said the public health risk<br />

of nitrates was an “emerging area<br />

of science”.<br />

“There are some very large<br />

studies which show that you can<br />

get colorectal cancer, there can<br />

be impacts if you are pregnant in<br />

terms of pre-term and low birth<br />

weight at much lower than the<br />

. . . World Health Organisationset<br />

standards we have.”<br />

Norman said the largest<br />

sources of nitrate contamination<br />

in New Zealand were cow urine<br />

and synthetic nitrogen fertiliser.<br />

Greenpeace was calling on all<br />

political parties to cut the use of<br />

synthetic nitrogen fertiliser and<br />

lower dairy cow stocking rates in<br />

order to protect drinking water<br />

from nitrate contamination, he<br />

said.<br />

Entrepreneur pays grandma’s $3k<br />

• By Sam Sherwood<br />

AN ENTREPRENEUR has paid<br />

the majority of a near-$4000<br />

fine a grandmother faced for<br />

a chicken sandwich she forgot<br />

she had in her backpack when<br />

arriving in Australia to visit<br />

family.<br />

Rolleston resident June<br />

Armstrong spoke with the NZ<br />

Herald on Tuesday last week<br />

about her ordeal when she<br />

arrived at Brisbane Airport with<br />

a sealed chicken sandwich in<br />

her backpack she purchased at<br />

Christchurch Airport.<br />

Following the article, a New<br />

Zealand entrepreneur, who<br />

wished to remain anonymous,<br />

contacted the Herald and said he<br />

wanted to cover June’s fine.<br />

In a message to June, the man<br />

said he had read the Herald’s<br />

story and was “shocked”. He<br />

asked for her bank account<br />

number and said he would send<br />

her the money for the fine –<br />

$3300.<br />

“No one should have to go<br />

through that stress for no reason.<br />

Happy to help take that off you.”<br />

June replied thanking the man<br />

for the “wonderful gesture”.<br />

She was in tears when she<br />

spoke with the Herald and said<br />

she was “overwhelmed”.<br />

“I never did it to get the money<br />

back, the money was gone and<br />

BENEFACTOR: Following a NZ Herald article early last week, an anonymous entrepreneur<br />

got in contact with June Armstrong and offered to cover the $3700 fine.<br />

there was nothing I could do<br />

about it, but it was just eating<br />

me up. I just felt it was unfair<br />

and that other people should be<br />

warned.<br />

“I’m absolutely dumbfounded<br />

. . . I can’t believe people are that<br />

kind.”<br />

She said the generosity made<br />

her “believe in people again”.<br />

“I just cannot believe that<br />

someone would do that for a<br />

stranger.<br />

“He must be the nicest man.”<br />

The entrepreneur was not the<br />

only anonymous benefactor,<br />

however, with another man<br />

stepping forward upon hearing<br />

she had further fees incurred,<br />

and offered June a further $1000.<br />

June arrived at Christchurch<br />

Airport on May 2 about 4am<br />

for an early morning flight to<br />

Brisbane to spend three months<br />

house-sitting and visiting family.<br />

The 77-year-old was supposed<br />

to fly with her husband a few<br />

days earlier but changed her<br />

flight after she made her first<br />

bowls final.<br />

When she got to the airport,<br />

she bought a muffin and a<br />

gluten-free chicken and lettuce<br />

sandwich, which was sealed.<br />

“I sat down and ate some of my<br />

muffin and I really didn’t feel like<br />

it so I threw the rest away, but<br />

I put the sandwich in my small<br />

backpack,” she said.<br />

“I just clearly forgot. I am<br />

very forgetful, but not forgetful<br />

enough to be diagnosed with<br />

dementia.”<br />

June, who initially intended to<br />

eat the sandwich on the plane,<br />

fell asleep once on board. She<br />

then filled out a declaration<br />

form and said she had some<br />

prescription medication.<br />

Once in Australia, she went<br />

through border patrol, where<br />

her suitcase and backpack were<br />

checked.<br />

As the official went through<br />

her backpack, he found the<br />

chicken sandwich.<br />

“I said, ‘Oh, I forgot about that,<br />

I’m sorry. Could you throw it<br />

away for me?’. He just kept going<br />

through my bag.”<br />

June then emptied her bag on<br />

the table while the man went<br />

away. While she waited, a couple<br />

she saw in Christchurch walked<br />

past.<br />

“I said, ‘Oh, I might be on TV’,<br />

never thinking anything was<br />

wrong.”<br />

chicken sandwich fine<br />

A short while later the man<br />

returned and said, “Twelve<br />

points, 3300”.<br />

“I said, ‘What does that mean?’<br />

and he said, ‘Twelve points,<br />

$3300’.”<br />

June asked if he was joking.<br />

Once she realised he was not, she<br />

began crying.<br />

“I was just sobbing and said<br />

‘$3300 for a little sandwich?’”<br />

Another staffer went over and<br />

offered her some water and a<br />

chair to sit on.<br />

A short while later, June called<br />

her husband, who was waiting<br />

to pick her up. She began telling<br />

him what had happened when<br />

her phone was taken off her, and<br />

the staffer told her husband she<br />

would be out shortly.<br />

Another staffer informed her<br />

she could appeal the fine and<br />

“strongly advised” she did.<br />

June said she tried to appeal<br />

within the 28-day payment<br />

period, only to get automatic<br />

replies.<br />

“My husband kept saying, ‘Just<br />

pay it’. I said, ‘It’s our pension, we<br />

can’t afford this’.”<br />

June paid the fine before the<br />

deadline, incurring a fee of<br />

$3700.<br />

After paying, she sent<br />

another email asking why she<br />

was fined when it was her first<br />

infringement, why the fine was<br />

so high, and mentioning that the<br />

sandwich was sealed.<br />

She also sent an email one<br />

month later to say the fine was<br />

having a significant impact on<br />

her life.<br />

“I think of it night and day, I<br />

now am on sleeping tablets,” she<br />

wrote.<br />

“I am consumed by how much<br />

this fine was and how much it<br />

will affect our lives.”<br />

June said she and her husband,<br />

who have been married for 47<br />

years, had about $30,000 in<br />

savings as well as their pensions.<br />

“That’s all we have. Everything<br />

we’ve got is freehold. I never buy<br />

anything that we can’t have.<br />

“We’ve worked bloody hard all<br />

our life for what we’ve got . . . we<br />

live from week to week.”<br />

The couple had considered<br />

selling their caravan, as well<br />

as giving up bowls which costs<br />

about $220 a year.<br />

“He’s persuaded me not to, it’s<br />

the only thing we do. It’s the only<br />

entertainment we have and we do<br />

it quite a few days a week.”<br />

A spokeswoman for Australia’s<br />

Department of Agriculture,<br />

Fisheries and Forestry said June<br />

would have needed an import<br />

permit to bring the chicken<br />

sandwich into the country.<br />

“Meat has strict import<br />

conditions which can change<br />

quickly based on disease<br />

outbreaks,” the spokeswoman<br />

said.<br />

“Uncanned meats, including<br />

vacuum-sealed items, are not<br />

allowed into Australia unless<br />

accompanied by an import<br />

permit.”<br />

June didn’t declare the<br />

sandwich, having forgotten it,<br />

but did declare the prescription<br />

medication she was carrying.<br />

“Where travellers fail to declare<br />

risk items,” the department<br />

spokeswoman said, “they may be<br />

given an infringement notice, up<br />

to AU$6260 ($6790).<br />

“All food products must be<br />

declared on arrival and may be<br />

inspected to ensure they comply<br />

with import conditions. Items<br />

that do not meet these conditions<br />

are not permitted into Australia.”<br />

The department spokeswoman<br />

pointed to biosecurity<br />

announcements on flights<br />

which told travellers what their<br />

declaration obligations were, as<br />

well as signage about it around<br />

arrivals areas in Australian<br />

airports.<br />

June has now fully paid off the<br />

fine, thanks to the anonymous<br />

benefactors’ donations, and<br />

thanked everyone for their<br />

support with the story making<br />

the headlines across the world.<br />

Said the resident: “I feel like<br />

they should have come and<br />

spoken to me about it.”<br />

The resident spoke with council<br />

staff but they would not waive the<br />

fine.<br />

Ellesmere Ward councillor<br />

Shane Epiha said he has received<br />

a lot of messages about fines.<br />

“It seems people have been<br />

caught off guard by the adjustment,”<br />

Epiha said.<br />

Council head of regulatory<br />

Susan Atherton said the change<br />

had been driven by residents’<br />

concerns.<br />

“Due to the volume of requests<br />

we are receiving from residents,<br />

we added an additional staff<br />

September to assist with responding<br />

to residents’ requests around<br />

parking safety.”<br />

Between August last year and<br />

the end of July this year, the<br />

a total of 1464 complaints of<br />

which 844 were vehicle-related<br />

complaints, including parking<br />

Boy racers wreak havoc,<br />

caught on camera<br />

• By Daniel Alvey<br />

RESIDENTS IN a quiet street<br />

are fed up with boy racers using<br />

a reserve as their personal<br />

playground.<br />

A man who lives in Liffeyfields<br />

Dr, Lincoln, told <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong><br />

cars had been doing skids on the<br />

reserve at least three times in the<br />

last month.<br />

Last Monday the resident was<br />

putting out his bins at about<br />

10pm when he saw two cars in<br />

Duncan Reserve doing skids.<br />

Thinking quickly, he pulled<br />

out his phone and started filming<br />

them. Shortly after he pressed<br />

record, the two cars sped up the<br />

bank and back onto Liffeyfields<br />

Dr, speeding off into the night.<br />

“The theory being in the world<br />

of idiots that race around in cars<br />

at night, it probably got a bit of a<br />

reputation of a place to play,” the<br />

resident said. “It’s our ratepayers’<br />

money that is used to fix it up.”<br />

The resident said he reported<br />

the vehicles to police via the 105<br />

number, and was told police in<br />

the area would be on the lookout.<br />

A police spokesperson said<br />

they have been unable to locate<br />

either of the vehicles.<br />

The resident now wants the<br />

spokesperson said.<br />

Firefighters move<br />

for Movember<br />

• By Daniel Alvey<br />

A GROUP of firefighters walked<br />

from Southbridge to Leeston to<br />

raise money for men’s mental<br />

health on Saturday.<br />

Leading the group were senior<br />

Dunsandel firefighter Matt<br />

McIntyre and Leeston firefighter<br />

James Eckersley.<br />

For McIntyre, this was his<br />

18th year of raising money for<br />

the Movember Foundation.<br />

The group started at<br />

Southbridge at 8am, passing<br />

through Leeston, with a halfway<br />

break at Killinchy. They finished<br />

at Dunsandel fire station by<br />

2.30pm.<br />

McIntyre said it is all about<br />

removing the stigma and the<br />

“she’ll be right” attitude.<br />

“There was a lot of good<br />

conversations had about mental<br />

health . . . and raising awareness<br />

about Movember,” McIntyre<br />

said.<br />

So far, the pair have raised a<br />

total of $6614 for Movember.<br />

Cowboys in Canty: Bringing<br />

• By Daniel Alvey<br />

A MOCK western film made by<br />

high school students that went<br />

global in the 1980s is ready for a<br />

relaunch.<br />

Lincoln County Incident is a<br />

western set in the US state of<br />

New Mexico in 1881, starring<br />

students and staff from Lincoln<br />

High School.<br />

The film was written and<br />

directed by then head of art Tony<br />

Brittenden and was filmed by<br />

his brother Rob, with about 100<br />

students and staff involved in its<br />

filming.<br />

The film featured at the<br />

Cannes MipTV Festival in<br />

France in 1980 after it was picked<br />

up by the New Zealand Film<br />

Commission.<br />

“They took it to Cannes and it<br />

immediately sold to three countries<br />

and over the next two years it<br />

sold to about 18,” Brittenden said.<br />

The film made a gross profit<br />

of about $80,000, which was just<br />

enough to break even.<br />

In the 47-minute film, Samson<br />

Peabody-Jones, played by Shane<br />

Simms, set out to conquer the<br />

untamed west in 1881.<br />

The film follows Peabody-<br />

Jones’ escapades as he braves the<br />

frontier in search of adventure<br />

and finds a life of danger and a<br />

ON SET: Much of the Lincoln County Incident – which screened in 18 different countries<br />

and was translated into three languages – was filmed at Castle Hill.<br />

few rewards.<br />

It takes a miner’s ghost, a mysterious<br />

parcel and, finally, the<br />

US cavalry to bring the story to a<br />

happy ending.<br />

Simms never got to see the final<br />

film as he died in a car crash<br />

a year after he left school.<br />

Brittenden said Simms’ parents<br />

did see the film, and were grateful<br />

for the memories.<br />

The film’s lead actress Cornelia<br />

Schaap, now Connie van der<br />

Klei, remembers the year<br />

she spent on the film playing<br />

a bargirl.<br />

“I was interested in music and<br />

drama and I auditioned and got<br />

the role, never realising it was the<br />

lead actress,” she said.<br />

Because it was all narrated,<br />

there were no lines to learn.<br />

“It was a lot of fun. I got to<br />

see the teachers on a different<br />

Peabody-Jones in the film,<br />

level . . . you saw them more<br />

relaxed.”<br />

In her role, van der Klei helps<br />

Peabody-Jones escape from the<br />

outlaws.<br />

“There were some scary bits<br />

to Shane, who was Samson<br />

Peabody-Jones. He and I had<br />

to do a lot of jumping in slow<br />

motion, so he and I had to climb<br />

up on top of this really big rock<br />

and I almost fell.”<br />

back the school western<br />

Van der Klei said she will now<br />

be able to show her grandchildren<br />

the film.<br />

She has a copy of the film on<br />

VHS, but doesn’t own a player.<br />

After leaving school, van der<br />

Klei went on to sing as part of<br />

Brittenden’s bluegrass band in a<br />

range of bars.<br />

“Tony is such great guy, so<br />

funny,” she said.<br />

Now the movie is in the process<br />

of being converted from 16mm<br />

film to a digital version by Park<br />

Road Post, a Wellington-based<br />

studio owned by Sir Peter Jackson.<br />

Brittenden said he had been<br />

thinking about digitising the film<br />

for several years.<br />

As the head of arts at Lincoln<br />

High, Brittenden was in charge<br />

of directing the school shows and<br />

thought it would be a good idea in<br />

1974 to make a movie.<br />

“The movie grew to the extent<br />

that we forgot about doing the<br />

concert that year and just stuck<br />

with the movie.”<br />

Brittenden said filming took<br />

about a year, but it then took<br />

another five years to be completed,<br />

with all the audio and sound effects<br />

having to be added afterwards.<br />

Many of the outdoor scenes<br />

were shot at Castle Hill, but the<br />

saloon itself was a bit closer to<br />

home. The school assembly hall<br />

was repurposed as the film’s set,<br />

becoming a fully-fledged saloon,<br />

meaning assemblies had to be<br />

held elsewhere during the year of<br />

filming.<br />

with posters, replica guns and<br />

He has been a fan of the genre<br />

since he was young.<br />

“In those days there was no<br />

Marvel, there was some Disney, but<br />

it all was pretty much westerns,”<br />

he said.<br />

Through the years he has built<br />

up his collection, and once he<br />

retired from St Andrews College<br />

in 2018, he started building out<br />

the downstairs room.<br />

“It’s finished now because I’ve<br />

run out of space,” he joked.<br />

Of all the westerns he has seen,<br />

Brittenden could whittle his<br />

favourites down to two American<br />

films: Dance With Wolves, a 1990<br />

film that tells the story of Union<br />

Army Lieutenant John J. Dunbar,<br />

and The Last of the Mohicans,<br />

shot in 1992 and set in 1757<br />

during the French and Indian<br />

War.<br />

Both films star his favourite<br />

actor Wes Studi.<br />

Potential<br />

upgrades<br />

outlined for<br />

Leeston Park<br />

• By Daniel Alvey<br />

LEESTON PARK could receive a<br />

$9 million upgrade as part of the<br />

next Long-Term Plan.<br />

Alongside the new community<br />

centre and library, the council has<br />

voted to include four options for<br />

the park in the 2024-34 LTP.<br />

The first option was to do nothing<br />

apart from the required safety<br />

upgrades. Option two was to<br />

make a low-level enhancement to<br />

the park with LTP-funded items<br />

only, offering limited or partial<br />

improvements to key features<br />

such as toilets, parking and the<br />

sports field at a cost of $2,391,080.<br />

Option three was to make essential<br />

improvements to the park<br />

in line with specific items from<br />

the master plan, including a fully<br />

upgraded and extended sports<br />

field at the Carrodus site with<br />

irrigation and lighting, enhanced<br />

carpark works, and improved<br />

infrastructure at a total cost of<br />

$6,232,943.<br />

The final option is to complete<br />

the full master plan which<br />

includes extensively upgrading the<br />

playground area and footpaths,<br />

with additional park furniture,<br />

signage, and landscaping<br />

throughout at a cost of $9,493,930.<br />

• By Daniel Alvey<br />

LEESTON IS ONE step closer<br />

to getting a new community<br />

centre and library.<br />

It will now be up to the community<br />

to decide which option it<br />

wants.<br />

Councillors were presented<br />

with seven options for the new<br />

facility, Whata Rau, with two<br />

recommended by staff to go into<br />

the 2024-34 Long-Term Plan.<br />

After debating the use, size,<br />

and cost to ratepayers, councillors<br />

decided to put four options<br />

forward.<br />

Option one was to keep the<br />

existing library and have no new<br />

community space. Option two<br />

was the construction of a new<br />

building at Leeston Park with<br />

the possibility of an increased<br />

community space. Option three<br />

was the same new building<br />

with an extended sports space,<br />

while option four was to use a<br />

standardised design that would<br />

be cheaper to build but offer less<br />

cultural significance.<br />

Before councillors debated the<br />

options they heard from longtime<br />

Leeston resident and former<br />

community committee chair,<br />

Residents to choose from<br />

community centre options<br />

DEVELOPMENT: A concept design of what the new Leeston<br />

community centre and library could look like. PHOTO: SDC<br />

Gwynn Thomson.<br />

Thomson said the community<br />

would support the new facility<br />

with the addition of an increased<br />

community space; option two.<br />

“New public facilities need to<br />

cater for expected growth in the<br />

district over the next 50 years of<br />

development.<br />

“There are 38 houses under<br />

construction in the Leeston<br />

township . . . and pre-sold<br />

consented subdivision sections<br />

will result in up to 70 more over<br />

the next 12 months,” Thompson<br />

said.<br />

As part of the 2021-31 LTP the<br />

council committed to delivering<br />

a 900 sq m building and allocated<br />

a budget of $9.19 million.<br />

But that cost has now increased<br />

by about $7 million<br />

with the current concept design<br />

expected to cost $16,016,092, at a<br />

cost of $65 per year to ratepayers.<br />

Council has yet to do any detailed<br />

design beyond a concept,<br />

meaning the project has a contingency<br />

budget to compensate<br />

for the uncertainty.<br />

The current library space has<br />

weather tightness<br />

issues and needs<br />

earthquake<br />

repairs to remain<br />

in use.<br />

Ellesmere Ward<br />

councillor Shane<br />

Epiha said without<br />

a community<br />

space, the town<br />

had no heart.<br />

Shane<br />

Epiha<br />

“When we decided to adopt a<br />

community centre for Leeston in<br />

the last Long-Term Plan we<br />

committed to a development,<br />

we committed to giving a heart<br />

to a community that doesn’t<br />

have one and has never had<br />

one,” Epiha said.<br />

All residents will soon be able<br />

to have their say on the options<br />

as part the LTP consultation.<br />

Partnership with<br />

mana whenua<br />

questioned<br />

Re. Mayor Sam’s comments (Mayor<br />

Sam’s News, <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong>, <strong>November</strong><br />

15). We note that he is “delighted” to<br />

welcome the first of two un-elected people<br />

to the council. These, according to Sam,<br />

will take part in all council meetings and<br />

committees. They will have speaking and<br />

voting rights. By what democratic system<br />

has this been allowed to happen?<br />

I am sure us residents will not be<br />

“delighted” when people who have access<br />

to information not available to the general<br />

populace could have deciding votes on<br />

important issues. Would it not be more<br />

democratic to have these people stand<br />

for council and have to answer questions<br />

like any other candidate? What other<br />

agreements has our “delighted” Mayor<br />

signed?<br />

-Les Wade, Rolleston<br />

Response From Sam Broughton:<br />

Appointing representatives with<br />

appropriate skills and qualifications<br />

to decision making bodies is common<br />

practice for councils across Aotearoa, and<br />

something our council has been doing<br />

with great success for many years.<br />

Fireworks<br />

I, as well as a lot of other New<br />

Zealanders, have been concerned and<br />

worried for a long, long time as to the<br />

reason why the Government has not<br />

stepped up and done anything about the<br />

sales of fireworks to the general public.<br />

We all know that fireworks in the wrong<br />

hands are extremely dangerous to people<br />

and animals and cause lots of injuries to<br />

both, which of course leads to enormous<br />

amounts of money being paid out by ACC,<br />

money which could be put to better use.<br />

Then there is the damage to property etc.<br />

Have organised displays by all means,<br />

but stop the idiots with too much cash,<br />

and no thought for what damage or injury<br />

is caused by these dangerous fireworks to<br />

create havoc not just on important days<br />

like celebrating Guy Fawkes or Halloween<br />

or any other in the year that they pick to<br />

be able to purchase such things.<br />

I write this with very little hope that the<br />

people who could change the law and ban<br />

public sale of fireworks will do anything<br />

at all.<br />

-Shirley Fisher<br />

Fireworks should be banned. The risk<br />

to people, property and animals is awful.<br />

Traumatised animals every time. I am sure<br />

the fireworks are louder than they used to<br />

be and people can’t even make sure their<br />

animals are inside as the fireworks are<br />

going off before and after the day. Get rid.<br />

-Julie Manera<br />

For many years I have believed that<br />

there is a place in New Zealand for public<br />

fireworks displays only.<br />

My dog believed people were shooting at<br />

her. When we lived in Rolleston, fireworks<br />

were a random occurrence for months<br />

after they were for sale. As responsible dog<br />

owners, we were unable to predict when<br />

we would need to keep her inside to prevent<br />

the extreme distress she experienced<br />

whenever we heard fireworks.<br />

A friend also had her horse entangled in<br />

a fence due to panic as neighbours of her<br />

leased paddock exercised their rights to<br />

let off fireworks in early December – over<br />

$1500 in vet bills. Nice eh.<br />

The time has come to ban the sale of<br />

fireworks to the public.<br />

-Rowena Holder<br />

PYROTECHNICS: Readers say the<br />

sale of fireworks to the general<br />

public should be banned, with<br />

organised displays only.<br />

Motoring fun had by all at festival<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> Motorfest had its biggest turnout yet. The<br />

vehicle show had more than 700 vehicles of all<br />

makes, models and eras on display. Sunday bloomed<br />

with blue skies and sunshine, and the notorious<br />

Rolleston winds stayed away. Along with the vehicles,<br />

there were more than 30 market stalls. The children’s<br />

area was a massive hit with bouncy castles, balloons<br />

and the McLenaghan excavator for them to have a<br />

go on. There were still kids playing well after the 3pm<br />

closing time.<br />

ALL ROADS LEAD TO FUN: The free family fun zone was organised by Rolleston Rotary<br />

Club and offered kids the chance to join in the motoring excitement with ride-on cars.<br />

said, “over the coming months, we will be inviting continued conversations with<br />

local businesses and key partners, building on the momentum from the forum”.<br />

“This forum is the first step in partnering with local businesses on our strategy,<br />

and its success opens the door to more opportunities as we work towards a more<br />

vibrant and prosperous <strong>Selwyn</strong>”.<br />

Celebrating 20 Years of Friendship<br />

with Yubetsu<br />

The Malvern Community Board, with support from the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Sister Cities<br />

Committee, were delighted to host a delegation from Yubetsu, their Japanese<br />

Sister City, to mark two decades of friendship.<br />

Yubetsu, a region on the northern coast of Hokkaido, is a major fishing port<br />

but shares many similarities with the Malvern area, known for intensive<br />

cropping and dairy farming.<br />

Yubetsu Mayor Mr Karita led the delegation, with Council Chairperson<br />

Mr Murata, Sister City Committee Chair Mrs Uchino and Council officer<br />

Mr Nakagawa.<br />

The four-day visit explored different aspects of the <strong>Selwyn</strong> community,<br />

including a day in the Lake Coleridge and Hororātā areas, visiting dairy and<br />

sheep-milking farms and watching the traditional sheep-shearing.<br />

The delegation also visited the Council Rolleston offices and Te Ara Ātea.<br />

Mr Bruce Russell, Acting Chair of the Malvern Community Board provided a<br />

garden visit to his home in West Melton.<br />

The delayed twenty-year visit was marked by a tree-planting ceremony in<br />

Tussock Square in Darfield, followed by a formal welcome at the Darfield<br />

Service Centre and Library.<br />

A dinner on the final night of the visit gave members of the wider community<br />

who have visited Yubetsu or have hosted Yubetsu visitors, an opportunity to<br />

meet the visitors and renew friendships.<br />

During the evening Sister Cities Chairperson, Allison Rosanowski and Avis<br />

Hewson were presented with special awards from the Yubetsu Town Council<br />

to mark their contributions to the relationship.<br />

Allison said “our enduring connection with Yubetsu is a testament to the<br />

strength of international friendships. It's an honour to be recognised by the<br />

Yubetsu Town Council, and we look forward to fostering this relationship for<br />

years to come”.<br />

A group of Yubetsu High School students arrived after the delegation to<br />

spend 10 days at Darfield High School, a reciprocal relationship that has been<br />

ongoing for over 23 years.<br />

A delegation from the Malvern Community Board and the wider community<br />

plan to visit Yubetsu in 2024 or 2025, to celebrate 25 years of friendship.<br />

GET HOME<br />

SAFE<br />

THIS SUMMER<br />

Step up this summer and get home safe<br />

It’s that time of year again, the season of parties, work do’s, beach days and barbecues where we<br />

break out the drinks. We all know what to do, or what not to do, we have all heard the different tag<br />

lines over the years:<br />

· If you drink and drive, you’re a bloody idiot<br />

· Stop a mate from driving drunk, bloody legend<br />

· Sorry, that’s a fail<br />

And yet our family and friends are still crashing and being killed on <strong>Selwyn</strong> roads due to impaired<br />

driving. There is no excuse for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. It’s time to step up<br />

and save lives.<br />

Driving impaired simply isn’t worth the risk, to life, to family, to friends, to work. Plan ahead and<br />

sort out how you, your family and your friends are going to get home safely.<br />

There are plenty of options available, if you take some time to sort your safe ride home before you<br />

head out. Stay alert to your family and friends’ intoxication levels — if they look like driving, be<br />

brave, save their lives or potentially the lives of others, get them to use another option to get home.<br />

It can be hard to step up and question others, but what’s a little discomfort if it saves a life? Think<br />

about the risks, don’t do it, and stop others from doing it. Get home safe this summer. For other<br />

useful tips on keeping you and your family and friends safe visit selwyn.govt.nz/gethomesafe.<br />

Charity gifted<br />

spot on new<br />

Crusaders jersey<br />

THE CRUSADERS have<br />

revealed a new jersey for the<br />

upcoming season – and it<br />

aims to help lift children out of<br />

poverty.<br />

The franchise has gifted the<br />

front sponsor’s mark on their<br />

new 2024/2025 Super<br />

Rugby Pacific retail<br />

jerseys to KidsCan.<br />

The jersey was<br />

launched on Thursday at<br />

West Spreydon School.<br />

It is available for fans<br />

to purchase in store or<br />

online, with $5 from<br />

every one sold through<br />

the Crusaders shop going<br />

to KidsCan.<br />

The jersey the team will wear<br />

on the field next season is set<br />

to feature the same design and<br />

pattern, but the front sponsor<br />

will be announced in the new<br />

year.<br />

Crusaders players and staff<br />

headed to West Spreydon<br />

School to promote the<br />

KidsCan jersey and serve<br />

breakfast to 270 pupils.<br />

All of the pupils<br />

will be given the<br />

chance to attend a<br />

Crusaders game in<br />

2024.<br />

KidsCan is just<br />

one of the good<br />

causes supported by<br />

the Crusaders. The<br />

franchise also started<br />

the Crusade with<br />

Heart Foundation,<br />

and holds community, alumni<br />

and corporate events across<br />

the region to raise money for<br />

worthwhile causes.<br />

Colin<br />

Mansbridge<br />

Said Crusaders chief<br />

executive Colin Mansbridge:<br />

“Our partnership with<br />

KidsCan is about doing our<br />

part to address the challenges<br />

faced by children in need. By<br />

dedicating the front of our<br />

retail jerseys to KidsCan, we<br />

aim to inspire our fans to be<br />

part of something bigger – a<br />

movement that champions the<br />

well-being and future of every<br />

child. Together with KidsCan,<br />

we aim to contribute to a<br />

brighter, more equitable future<br />

for all.”<br />

GOOD CAUSE: Crusader<br />

new retail jersey featuring<br />

Velcro dogs at Adobe Kennels<br />

Have you ever heard of a Velcro dog?<br />

Erika at Adobe Kennels (Great Mates<br />

Kirwee) uses this term to describe<br />

greyhounds, suggesting, “They stick<br />

to you and want to be everywhere you<br />

are.” Located in Kirwee, Adobe Kennels<br />

is owned by experienced greyhound<br />

trainers and owners Sarah Clausen and<br />

Matt Roberts. Greyhound Racing New<br />

Zealand (GRNZ) fully funds the kennels<br />

where 17 greyhounds are housed while<br />

one foster dog is housed inside. With<br />

a blanket “no-kill” policy on retired<br />

racing greyhounds, the purpose is to<br />

transition greyhounds so they are ready<br />

to be rehomed into suburban life.<br />

Working from a waitlist, the dogs<br />

arrive at the kennel, where they receive<br />

health and dental checks. Vaccinations<br />

are checked to be up-to-date, and dogs<br />

are desexed if not already done. The<br />

dogs are then assessed on being around<br />

a small dog. The hero is Pippa- a tiny<br />

Sydney Silky. Erika says, “She’s the<br />

hardest-working dog on the property!”<br />

From there, they also meet Wolfie the<br />

cat for more socialisation with other<br />

animals. Many greyhounds are very<br />

successfully cat-trainable! However,<br />

if further training is needed, they are<br />

trained by Karen<br />

de Wit of Goodogz<br />

Training.<br />

Erika and coworker<br />

Shane<br />

provide daily<br />

enrichment,<br />

crate assessment,<br />

socialisation<br />

and behaviour<br />

training where<br />

they experiment<br />

with the dogs so<br />

they will get the<br />

best outcome in<br />

their new home.<br />

With a key focus<br />

on transitioning<br />

into suburban life,<br />

Erika says,” We pride ourselves on the<br />

transition from kennels to the home, to<br />

make it as smooth as possible.” Part of<br />

this training sees them taking the dogs<br />

into the West Melton township, walking<br />

around busy school areas, and going to<br />

local market days. These interactions<br />

enable them to assess whether the dog is<br />

good around noise, kids, wheelchairs,<br />

prams, bicycles, and traffic.<br />

Greyhounds make loving<br />

and loyal pets. People often<br />

think greyhounds need a<br />

lot of exercise, but Erika<br />

says they are relatively lazy<br />

and low maintenance with<br />

few health issues. They<br />

love nothing more than a<br />

nap. Many are quite happy<br />

chilling at home when their<br />

people are out and about at<br />

work. There is a greyhound<br />

for everyone and one that<br />

will fit in with your lifestyle.<br />

Four rehoming agencies<br />

in New Zealand are fully<br />

funded by GRNZ, including<br />

Nightrave Greyhounds and<br />

GAP, which helps adopt out<br />

greyhounds. They will go<br />

through a careful process,<br />

including a trial placement,<br />

to ensure the dog finds the<br />

perfect home.<br />

Why not consider an elegant,<br />

magnificent and highly intelligent<br />

rehomed greyhound who loves to cuddle<br />

as an addition to your family? For<br />

more information, see Adobe Kennels<br />

on FB or visit lovegreyhounds.org.nz,<br />

nightrave.co.nz and greyhoundsaspets.<br />

org.nz.<br />

Shetland<br />

Dog available for adoption through Nightrave Greyhounds<br />

Shetland (Reddy Moth) is giant goofball of a<br />

dog with an absolute heart of gold. A kennel favourite Shetty<br />

as he is affectionately known adores people and will be an<br />

incredibly loyal dog when he finds his family. He is sociable<br />

with other dogs although sometimes forgets his size so is best<br />

suited to medium sized up playmates. We can’t say enough<br />

good things about this boy and are so excited for him to<br />

continue his rehoming journey. Shetty has previously had a leg<br />

injury and whilst this is now well healed and he enjoys his walks<br />

big hikes will never be his thing!<br />

Dog available for adoption through Greyhounds As Pets<br />

Khan (Thunder Hallows) is a happy go lucky boy with a big heart<br />

and lots of love to give. He is extremely snuggly and will jump<br />

up for cuddles. He loves the couch and will try to sit on your lap,<br />

despite his size! Khan is strong on lead but he is treat-motivated<br />

and very trainable and will walk nicely with positive reinforcement.<br />

He loves his walks and would suit an active home where he can go<br />

on hill walks and day tramps. He is great with larger dogs, but not<br />

so keen on the small fluffies. He cannot live with cats.<br />

An all-round cool dude with a love for life and his people, Khan will<br />

make a great mate to go on adventures with, as well as to snuggle<br />

up with at the end of a busy day together.<br />

GARDENING 31<br />

Plant spinach, broccoli,<br />

cucumber seedlings now<br />

Vegetables<br />

Not a true spinach, New<br />

Zealand spinach (Tetragonia<br />

expansa) is invaluable for gardens<br />

that dry out in late summer.<br />

Allow 60cm between each plant<br />

and sow in groups of two or<br />

three seeds, thinning later. This<br />

plant prefers a hot, dry, sunny<br />

situation. Growth is rapid and<br />

when plants begin to spread, the<br />

growing tips should be nipped<br />

out so leafy shoot tips will grow.<br />

Cut these frequently and cook<br />

before eating.<br />

Celery can be planted during<br />

the next three or four weeks. The<br />

old method of digging a trench<br />

and filling it with compost or<br />

manure mixed with soil before<br />

planting has much to recommend<br />

it, but celery will grow well<br />

in any good soil. Keep the plants<br />

well watered to prevent them<br />

running to seed.<br />

Outdoor cucumbers also need<br />

rich, moist soil. Raised beds are<br />

best if the soil is heavy. This does<br />

not need to be sophisticated.<br />

Make a flat-topped heap, starting<br />

with a couple of sacks of horse<br />

manure to a depth of 15cm to<br />

20cm, then well-rotted lawn<br />

clippings or compost and a layer<br />

of soil. A heap about 30cm high<br />

is sufficient. Sow seeds in groups<br />

of three at 60cm intervals along<br />

the middle of the bed. Covering<br />

with a mini-cloche — a plastic<br />

soft-drink bottle with the top<br />

removed is ideal — will speed<br />

germination and shelter seedlings<br />

from cold winds. Once they<br />

are growing, remove the covers<br />

and control growth of side shoots<br />

by cutting them off, one leaf<br />

beyond a fruit.<br />

Gardens benefit from regular<br />

hoeing, especially as ground<br />

starts to dry after heavy rain at<br />

this time of year. Stirring soil<br />

thoroughly allows air and sun to<br />

enter and keeps weeds down. It<br />

also reduces the amount of water<br />

required as the loose soil acts as<br />

mulch, reducing evaporation of<br />

moisture in the soil.<br />

Broccoli is hardier than its<br />

close relative, cauliflower, and<br />

is easier to grow. Broccoli seed<br />

can be sown now to mature in<br />

the coldest months of the year.<br />

Varieties include Shogun, Purple<br />

Sprouting and the decorativelooking<br />

Italian Precoe. Ground<br />

cleared of early potatoes, broad<br />

beans or peas can be used for<br />

broccoli. Plant seedlings out at<br />

the end of December and during<br />

January.<br />

Fruit<br />

Gooseberry bushes put in this<br />

year should be summer-pruned<br />

soon, to allow sun and air to<br />

penetrate to the centres of the<br />

bushes. Shoots growing into the<br />

centre or crossing other stronger<br />

ones should be removed close to<br />

the branch from which they have<br />

sprung. Mulch gooseberries with<br />

compost or stable manure and<br />

keep the bushes well watered.<br />

Raspberry canes may have<br />

young sucker growths around<br />

their base. It is a good sign,<br />

showing the plants are strong<br />

and virile, and promises well for<br />

next summer’s fruit. The new<br />

shoots are next year’s fruiting<br />

canes and should be thinned and<br />

allowed to grow 1m or more.<br />

Plums, apples, pears, peaches<br />

and nectarines on heavily laden<br />

trees should be thinned. Unless<br />

this is done thoroughly, the crop<br />

will be plentiful but small-sized<br />

and often misshapen because of<br />

the pressure from neighbouring<br />

fruit. Remove the centre (king)<br />

fruit first.<br />

Flowers<br />

Roses appreciate heavy manuring.<br />

This can be done by mulching,<br />

watering with liquid manure<br />

or top-dressing with commercial<br />

rose fertilisers.<br />

Chrysanthemums can have<br />

their centres pinched out, encouraging<br />

them to send out three<br />

or four strong side shoots for<br />

good flowers in autumn.<br />

Half-hardy annuals such as<br />

asters, French marigolds and<br />

zinnias can be planted out now,<br />

ideally in rich soil.<br />

Nasturtiums will thrive and<br />

produce more flowers than leaves<br />

in the poorest soils, provided<br />

they are in a warm, sunny position.<br />

There are two types, trailing<br />

— which can cover a large area<br />

and will climb shrubs and fences<br />

— and the compact varieties,<br />

such as the Whirlybird strain,<br />

sold in individual colours, as<br />

well as mixes. Salmon Baby is a<br />

semi-double variety suitable for<br />

hanging baskets, while Alaska<br />

and Jewel of Africa have variegated<br />

foliage.<br />

Fuchsias will benefit from a<br />

top-dressing of compost or old<br />

animal manure applied in early<br />

summer to keep the soil in good<br />

condition and retain moisture.<br />

Gladioli should be growing<br />

strongly now. Stake the plants if<br />

strong winds are expected.<br />

GROWTH: New Zealand spinach can be planted now.<br />

Pot plants don’t<br />

have to be a pain<br />

IF YOU ARE planning on go<br />

away for a Christmas holiday<br />

break, the prospect of watering<br />

the garden – container plants<br />

in particular – can put a real<br />

dampener on your summer.<br />

The easy answer would be to<br />

just put all container plants into<br />

the garden and be done with the<br />

fussing.<br />

However, as plant accommodation,<br />

rather than providing a luxury<br />

getaway, pots and containers<br />

are more like a prison sentence,<br />

with water and food limited and<br />

excess sun and wind in exposed<br />

locations.<br />

This means you need to be<br />

cunning with your compost and a<br />

wizard with your choice of green<br />

matter.<br />

Why is it that weeds can abseil<br />

their way into a pot and look<br />

so healthy, while the plant you<br />

intended for the limelight looks<br />

anaemic and spindly?<br />

It’s because most of us are unrealistic<br />

about the level of maintenance<br />

we will need to lavish on<br />

our charges.<br />

It’s tempting to go for multicoloured<br />

pot plants but such<br />

high-octane performance demands<br />

the pampering of a movie<br />

star – weekly deadheading and<br />

feeding and almost daily watering,<br />

so it’s really only for the keenest<br />

enthusiast.<br />

Spring bulbs are another classic<br />

disaster area – irresistible when<br />

we see the pictures at the garden<br />

centre but a disaster a fortnight<br />

later when we fail to follow up<br />

after the leaves and flowers have<br />

flopped and faded.<br />

Stick them in plastic containers<br />

before sinking them inside a<br />

classy bit of earthenware. Later,<br />

out they go to make way for a<br />

more permanent successor. It is<br />

a mistake to assume special new<br />

plants somehow deserve a prime<br />

spot in a container. Instead, plant<br />

them in the ground where they<br />

will get their roots down and<br />

draw deep for summer moisture.<br />

And if you want to see them, go<br />

out to the garden and look.<br />

If your soil is heavy, spend some<br />

effort planting them on mounds<br />

and improve soil structure with<br />

plenty of grit and compost.<br />

The most successful pot plants<br />

are tried and tested toughies that<br />

will survive on neglect. Essentials<br />

include succulents, flaxes, native<br />

xeronema and epiphytic plants,<br />

which are used to hanging out like<br />

a shoestring.<br />

Epiphytes include spiky astelias<br />

as well as other native foliage<br />

plants such as Griselinia lucida<br />

and pseudopanax – both of which<br />

are amazingly drought-tolerant.<br />

Don’t mingle too many specimens<br />

in one confined space<br />

because fights are bound to break<br />

out. Instead, give each its own<br />

home but herd pots together to<br />

create communities of contrasting<br />

forms and textures.<br />

Choose the dramatic ones such<br />

as aloes and softer euphorbias or<br />

those, such as sedum morganianum<br />

with its waxy grey dreadlocks,<br />

which are able to bungy<br />

over the sides of even the tallest of<br />

drums.<br />

Neat topiary balls, cones and<br />

humps, whether it be box or<br />

native coprosma and corokia,<br />

have minimal water requirements,<br />

but don’t discount conifers which<br />

are surprisingly drought-tolerant.<br />

Bromeliads never outgrow their<br />

place in a pot if sited sensitively.<br />

MY PRIDE AND JOY<br />

Advertising Feature<br />

Motocross challenges<br />

New Zealanders and motorsport<br />

seem to go hand in hand. Some<br />

inspiring females include New Zealand’s<br />

Courtney Duncan, four times winner<br />

of the Women’s Motocross World<br />

Championship title. In the <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

community, young female riders have<br />

also embraced motorsport and gained<br />

National titles. One rider is Avey Smith, a<br />

National motocross title holder in 2019.<br />

Now nearly 19, she has competed in<br />

motocross for over 15 years.<br />

Avey has been encouraged and<br />

extensively supported by her father,<br />

who is a two-time National Junior title<br />

holder. She is grateful to him for paying<br />

her entry fees and other riding expenses<br />

while competing. Apart from being<br />

her mechanic, he now coaches other<br />

riders who are her “brothers”. They are<br />

doing exceptionally well in motocross,<br />

competing around New Zealand.<br />

Although a die-hard Kawasaki fan, after<br />

racing her bike at one meeting, she was<br />

allowed to ride a Husqvarna TC 85. With<br />

results proving she was six seconds faster<br />

on the Husqvarna, her father bought her<br />

one. For the last two years, she has been<br />

riding a Husqvarna TC125.<br />

Motocross is a physically demanding<br />

sport, and with a more powerful<br />

bike, Avey says she noticed the power<br />

difference. She had to learn how to control<br />

it, which meant getting back into the gym<br />

and working on upper body<br />

strength to control it. The<br />

best training is “seat time”<br />

on a bike, practising corners,<br />

jumps, starts and straights.<br />

On the track, Avey advises,<br />

“The rider also needs always<br />

to be thinking ahead, looking<br />

ahead and preparing for<br />

what’s going to come next.<br />

You might know the track<br />

well, but the track can always<br />

change.”<br />

When Avey started racing,<br />

she had to enter the boys’<br />

junior class. She claims, “They<br />

looked at me as another guy,<br />

which wasn’t bad as they<br />

didn’t treat me any different.”<br />

Riding against faster riders in<br />

the class was challenging, as<br />

they would still “come at me quite hard”.<br />

She needed to accept that the boys ride<br />

aggressively in a male-dominated sport.<br />

She is now able to race in the women’s<br />

class. However, not all issues are on the<br />

track. It appears some race committees<br />

still treat female riders differently, as<br />

male race classes appear to take priority<br />

over the female classes. There’s no lack<br />

of females willing and keen to compete,<br />

as the last event Avey raced at was the<br />

all-female MX Ladies Champs, with<br />

approximately 18 females in the Senior B<br />

class.<br />

Only racing at specific events now, Avey<br />

aims to have fun. When she was heavily<br />

involved in the sport, her goal was to win<br />

and “trophy hunting. Competing is now<br />

about having fun, enjoying the day and<br />

being with friends.<br />

Not wanting her years of knowledge<br />

and experience to go to waste, she invites<br />

young girls to contact her for training.<br />

She advises young female riders, “Don’t<br />

let the pressure from anyone get to you,”<br />

and “focus on yourself and your racing.”<br />

With a mature attitude, she suggests, “Set<br />

goals, reach one and then set another.”<br />

Stress-free road trips<br />

The glorious days of summer and<br />

rising temperatures are here; it’s the<br />

perfect time to plan an exciting summer<br />

road trip. Whether heading to the beach<br />

or lakes, camping or spending time at<br />

the bach, proper preparation is key to<br />

ensuring a smooth and enjoyable journey.<br />

To make the most of your summer road<br />

trip and save money, visit Jones Road<br />

Auto at 131 Iport Drive, Rolleston, for<br />

expert advice and services.<br />

Vehicle Check-Up: Ensure your<br />

vehicle is in tip-top condition before<br />

hitting the road and avoid a breakdown.<br />

Preventative maintenance can save<br />

money by dealing with minor issues<br />

before they become more serious and<br />

ensuring better fuel efficiency. Schedule<br />

a comprehensive check-up at Jones Road<br />

Auto, where skilled technicians can<br />

inspect your car’s essential components,<br />

such as brakes, tyres, fluid levels, and<br />

battery health.<br />

Fluid Checks and Changes: During the<br />

hotter days of summer, your car’s engine<br />

and cooling system will work harder.<br />

Ensure all essential fluids, including oil,<br />

coolant, and brake fluid, are optimal.<br />

Check your cooling systems are working<br />

correctly, as windy roads can easily cause<br />

the car’s cooling system to overheat.<br />

Tyre Care: Keep everyone safe with<br />

proper tyre maintenance. Have your<br />

tyres inspected, rotated, and properly<br />

inflated to prevent blowouts and ensure<br />

even wear and a smoother ride. Underinflated<br />

tyres use more fuel, costing more<br />

money. Also, check your spare tyre is in<br />

good condition and that you have the<br />

necessary tyre-changing tools.<br />

Towing: If intending to tow a trailer,<br />

boat or caravan, check the wheel<br />

bearings to ensure they’re not loose or<br />

noisy. Check all lights and indicators are<br />

working correctly and that couplings are<br />

adequate. Remember to carry a spare tyre<br />

for the towed vehicle.<br />

EV Vehicles: EVs still require some<br />

maintenance and servicing, including<br />

checks on tyres, batteries, suspension,<br />

and brakes, so have your vehicle serviced<br />

before going on a road trip. Plan your<br />

trip around public charging points and<br />

download apps to ensure you don’t find<br />

yourself stranded somewhere without a<br />

charge. Be aware that your mileage can<br />

be affected by using the air con, cold<br />

weather, speed, rapid acceleration or<br />

deceleration, etc.<br />

Emergency Kit: Be prepared for<br />

unexpected situations. Have an<br />

emergency kit with essentials like a first<br />

aid kit, torch, jumper cables, and basic<br />

tools.<br />

A well-maintained vehicle is the<br />

key to a memorable and stress-free<br />

road trip experience. Before starting<br />

your road trip, visit Jones Road<br />

Auto, 131 Iport Drive, Rolleston,<br />

for a comprehensive vehicle check,<br />

professional care and expert advice.<br />

The team at Jones Road Auto thank their<br />

customers for their wonderful support<br />

throughout the year and wish them a safe,<br />

happy, and fun-filled Christmas and New<br />

LICENSED UNDER THE REA ACT 2008<br />

As most New Zealanders’ homes are<br />

their biggest investments it’s important to<br />

protect them. Good maintenance will:<br />

• Keep your home safe and secure<br />

• Keep you and your family healthy<br />

• Save you money by allowing you to fix<br />

problems before they get bigger<br />

• Protect your financial investment<br />

What’s the best way to<br />

approach maintenance?<br />

Carry out regular preventative<br />

maintenance to prevent some problems<br />

from occurring.<br />

Maintaining your home<br />

Plan ahead for major maintenance tasks.<br />

Be prepared for emergencies – know<br />

where and how the water, gas and power<br />

supplies turn off.<br />

DIY or professional?<br />

You need to be realistic about your limits.<br />

It is better to hire a tradesperson and<br />

get the job done properly than to make<br />

costly mistakes. By law, some jobs need<br />

to be done by a professional, such as gas,<br />

plumbing, drainage and some electrical<br />

work. Major maintenance matters.<br />

Moisture<br />

Damp homes are unhealthy and harder<br />

to heat. Combat persistent damp in your<br />

home by:<br />

• Insulating (under the floor, in the<br />

ceiling and walls).<br />

• Ventilating (including extractor fans<br />

in bathrooms and kitchens, opening<br />

windows, using a dehumidifier or forced<br />

ventilation system and keeping vents<br />

clear).<br />

• Heating (aim to keep the indoor<br />

temperature at a minimum of 16C).<br />

• Replacing unflued gas heaters with<br />

Your guide to all things Real Estate<br />

in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District<br />

New house peace of mind<br />

23<br />

So your dream has come true, you’ve<br />

bought your house, and you’re excited<br />

to move in. The paperwork is signed,<br />

the money paid, and it’s nearly moving<br />

time. But that shouldn’t be the end of<br />

your house-buying journey, as there are<br />

various financial responsibilities and<br />

potential risks. Now it’s time to focus<br />

on life’s “what ifs”. What if you can’t<br />

work due to illness or a disability? What<br />

if one of the mortgage holders passes<br />

away? As your home is one of your<br />

most significant assets, protecting your<br />

family’s financial future and the new<br />

home you’ve worked so hard to get is<br />

essential.<br />

Nick Hau, Director and What If<br />

Adviser from Moneta Insurance and<br />

Investment Advisers, suggests there<br />

are several personal insurance options<br />

to consider when you’ve bought your<br />

new or first home to safeguard your<br />

investment:<br />

Income replacement insurance<br />

There are many ways to address<br />

this, via an income protection policy,<br />

a mortgage repayment policy or a<br />

combination of both. Your income<br />

will be replaced when you can’t work,<br />

including job loss, illness, or disability,<br />

so you can continue to service your<br />

mortgage repayments and lifestyle and<br />

stay in your new home. It will provide a<br />

financial cushion during difficult times.<br />

You need to decide the amount you’ll<br />

receive per month, the wait period, and<br />

the time you’ll receive the payment.<br />

Life insurance<br />

This insurance offers peace of mind<br />

and will provide a lump sum should<br />

you lose your life. The amount can be<br />

enough to repay your mortgage in full<br />

or in part so the mortgage repayments<br />

don’t burden those you leave behind<br />

after they’ve lost you and your income.<br />

Trauma or permanent<br />

disablement insurance<br />

These are also lump sums payable<br />

when you’re diagnosed with certain<br />

conditions or deemed permanently<br />

unable to return to work. They can<br />

provide enough to repay your mortgage<br />

in full or in part to alleviate the financial<br />

strain of the condition you’re recovering<br />

from or from being permanently unable<br />

to work again. It can also cover medical<br />

bills, necessary home modifications, and<br />

ongoing living expenses.<br />

It’s a wise decision to include<br />

these insurance options in your<br />

homeownership plan. Be protected<br />

from unforeseen circumstances and<br />

enjoy your new home without financial<br />

worries. It’s important to talk to an<br />

adviser who can guide you through<br />

the options; they’ll get to know your<br />

situation and advise what insurance<br />

options will best meet your needs and<br />

budget.<br />
