Losses<br />
hit hotel<br />
as buyer<br />
looks to<br />
swoop<br />
• By Daniel Alvey<br />
THE FUTURE of the Lincoln<br />
Club is up in the air after<br />
members were told the Famous<br />
Grouse Hotel is likely to be sold.<br />
The club operates the hotel<br />
through its company Famous<br />
Grouse 2009 Ltd – and is known<br />
as ‘the club in the pub’. It has<br />
about 500 members, which are<br />
drawn from across the district.<br />
The hotel has traded at a loss<br />
for the past two years because of<br />
increasing costs and the downturn<br />
in hospitality businesses due to the<br />
pandemic, club president Brian<br />
Humm told members in an email.<br />
Also hitting the business was a<br />
legal bill from the fight to keep its<br />
liquor licence, after it was opposed<br />
by the police and other authorities.<br />
“This last year, the figures<br />
include a substantial legal bill<br />
incurred defending the police<br />
opposition to our liquor licence<br />
renewal,” Humm said.<br />
“All this has led to the simple<br />
reality that it is becoming more<br />
and more difficult to post a profit<br />
from these businesses.”<br />

MURMURS circulating in<br />
the past couple of months<br />
about the future of the<br />
Lincoln Club have proven to<br />
be correct (see page 1).<br />
It has been no secret<br />
another hotelier, potentially<br />
with partners, has had eyes<br />
to take over The Famous<br />
Grouse Hotel, which the<br />
club operates through its<br />
company Famous Grouse<br />
2009 Ltd.<br />
The pub has lost money<br />
for the past two years and<br />
the future looks bleak. So<br />
the Famous Grouse 2009 Ltd<br />
directors, key office holders<br />
of the club, have indicated<br />
it is time to sell the business<br />
– to save the club itself, I<br />
suspect.<br />
news<br />
Page 5<br />
The pub’s landlord has also<br />
clearly indicated he wants<br />
the club out because of liquor<br />
licensing issues last year.<br />
The matter will be put to<br />
members later this month.<br />
The big question is where<br />
will the club go.<br />

Mediation to decide way forward for college<br />
• By Daniel Alvey<br />
ROLLESTON College has now<br />
entered mediation with the<br />
Ministry of Education in a bid to<br />
get the second campus it wants.<br />
The college has been pushing<br />
the ministry for a resolution<br />
since early last month after major<br />
cuts were made to its second<br />
campus under construction<br />
on the corner of <strong>Selwyn</strong> and<br />
Springston Rolleston Rds.<br />
This week the college and<br />
ministry will be face-to-face<br />
again, but this time with<br />
independent mediators in the<br />
middle.<br />
Principal Rachel Skelton said<br />
the school is still waiting for<br />
the specific triggers from the<br />
ministry which will mean stages<br />
two and three of the second<br />
campus will be built.<br />
“The biggest thing I’d like to<br />
see come out of meditation is a<br />
firm commitment to completion<br />
of the entire campus over time,”<br />
Skelton said.<br />
She said mediators have<br />
worked with the college and<br />
ministry separately, with this<br />
week being their first joint<br />
meeting.<br />
“I’m hopeful it can bring us<br />
closer together because what<br />
we don’t want to do is halt<br />
construction or progress.<br />
“We need to get the science<br />
and technology building that’s<br />
PLAN: An artist’s impression<br />
of what Rolleston College’s<br />
new three-stage senior<br />
campus was set to look like<br />
before it was significantly<br />
cut back by the Ministry of<br />
Education. Site works on<br />
the corner of <strong>Selwyn</strong> and<br />
Springston Rolleston Rds<br />
are already under way,<br />
been agreed on under way.<br />
“We need to get what they’ve<br />
agreed on for the gymnasium<br />
under way and then at the same<br />
time we can fight that middle<br />
ground (for further stages).”<br />
Ministry head of property Sam<br />
Fowler said: “We have agreed<br />
with the school to appoint an<br />
independent educational advisor<br />
to support the project as we work<br />
through and finalise the details<br />
of the stage one project scope<br />
with the college.<br />
“This is intended to make<br />
sure what is delivered through<br />
this first stage of development<br />
supports the needs of the school<br />
while achieving overall value<br />
for money. This role is ministry<br />
funded.’’<br />
Stage one was due to be completed<br />
in mid-2025, but has been<br />
pushed out to the beginning of<br />
2026.<br />
In March, the ministry costed<br />
the stripped-back campus plan<br />
at $52 million – and told Skelton<br />
further savings would be needed<br />
in addition to the cuts it had<br />
announced.<br />
The plan agreed in December<br />
was to cater for years 11-13 in a<br />
senior campus 2.5 kilometres<br />
from the main site, envisaging<br />
the roll would grow to 2100<br />
senior students.<br />
The site works were already<br />
done, and billboards had gone<br />
up promoting what had been a<br />
three-stage build.<br />
Under the revised plan, the<br />
ministry has proposed makeshift<br />
portacom buildings instead of<br />
permanent classrooms, with no<br />
purpose-built fit-outs.<br />
The science and technology<br />
block would also undergo<br />
minimal alterations, and a gym<br />
redesign eliminated all classroom<br />
space, spaces for nurses,<br />
counsellors and a staffroom.<br />
Fowler said it has advised the<br />
college that further stages of<br />
development will continue to<br />
grow the campus over time as<br />
the roll grows.<br />
“The timing of the delivery<br />
of those stages will be subject<br />
to the student numbers and the<br />
funding we receive through<br />
future budgets.”<br />
Recently the college sent 130<br />
individual letters of support<br />
for the campus expansion<br />
to Education Minister Erica<br />
Stanford, which she has<br />
responded to.<br />
Skelton said that the Stanford<br />
letter, while supportive of<br />
the college offered no new<br />
information.<br />

Farmer, car wrecker neglects<br />
to comply with council notice<br />
• By Daniel Alvey<br />
A FARMER WHO operates a<br />
car wrecking business has failed<br />
to comply with a district council<br />
abatement notice.<br />
The district council is refusing<br />
to disclose the specific reason<br />
for the notice, but <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong><br />
understands it may relate to the<br />
car wrecking operation.<br />
Lawton Giltrap farms and operates<br />
his car wrecking business,<br />
Giltrap Spares Ltd, on his Curries<br />
Rd, Springston South, property.<br />
In <strong>April</strong> last year Giltrap was<br />
served an abatement notice by<br />
the district council, for breaching<br />
the District Plan. He had until<br />
March 31 to comply, but has<br />
failed to do so.<br />
“The abatement notice has not<br />
been complied with at the current<br />
time so the matter is being<br />
reviewed as an active case,” a district<br />
council spokesperson said.<br />
“The investigation is ongoing<br />
and while we are still reviewing<br />
the matter we can’t comment on<br />
the specifics.”<br />
Generally the penalty for not<br />
complying with an abatement<br />

notice is a fine up to $1000 under<br />
the Resource Management Act<br />
1991.<br />
The district council said it has<br />
been in contact with Giltrap<br />
since the end of last month.<br />
“Council have communicated<br />
with Mr Giltrap since March<br />
31. As mentioned, the matter is<br />
currently under investigation,<br />
and it would be prejudicial to<br />
discuss the matter.”<br />
The district council would not<br />
say what its next steps are now<br />
Giltrap has failed to comply with<br />
the notice.<br />
When <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> phoned<br />
Giltrap to ask him about the<br />
abatement notice, he hung up<br />
before any questions could be<br />
asked.<br />
His failure to comply with the<br />
abatement notice comes after he<br />
pleaded guilty to two unrelated<br />
charges brought by Environment<br />
Canterbury in the Christchurch<br />
District Court in February.<br />
The first charge was for<br />
using land in a manner that<br />
contravened the Canterbury<br />
Land and Water Regional Plan.<br />
Giltrap had allowed stock<br />
unrestricted access to the bed<br />
and banks of a river within the<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> Te Waihora sub-region<br />
and any associated discharge<br />
that was not at a permanent<br />
stock crossing point, resulting<br />
in pugging, devegetation and<br />
exposed bare earth in the bed,<br />
including the banks of the<br />
river.<br />
The second charge was for<br />
permitting the discharge of dairy<br />
effluent from a cow onto land<br />
which may have resulted in<br />
that contaminant entering the<br />
water.<br />
Giltrap was due to appear in<br />
court on Friday for sentencing,<br />
but the date has now been pushed<br />
back to May 10.<br />

Uncertain future for community board<br />
• By Daniel Alvey<br />
MALVERN residents believe<br />
they still need a community<br />
board despite the council<br />
recommending it goes.<br />
The Malvern Community<br />
Board is at risk of being<br />
disestablished at the next local<br />
elections as part of the council’s<br />
representation review. The<br />
council is seeking<br />
the community’s<br />
views on its<br />
future.<br />
The board<br />
fell apart last<br />
year when a<br />
feud between<br />
chair Ken May<br />
and member<br />
Sean Ellis led to<br />
Bruce<br />
Russell<br />
both resigning, triggering a byelection.<br />
Since its rebuild at the start<br />
of the year with the help of<br />
chief executive Sharon Mason,<br />
chair Bruce Russell said the<br />
community board has been<br />
operating better.<br />
“That’s all behind us now,”<br />
Russell said.<br />
“We’ve had a lot of feedback<br />
from Malvern people saying we<br />
definitely need a community<br />
board.”<br />
The council is consulting on<br />
the new ward structure for the<br />
district which could see major<br />
AT RISK: The Malvern Ward, which includes Darfield, could lose its community board at<br />
the next election.<br />
changes made including merging<br />
the Ellesmere and Malvern wards.<br />
Russell said if the Ellesmere and<br />
Malvern wards merged, it could<br />
mean the Malvern area might not<br />
get a locally based councillor.<br />
The ward structure is based<br />
purely on population, not a<br />
geographical area.<br />
Council executive director<br />
enabling services Tim Harris said<br />
in his report to the representation<br />
review not having community<br />
boards would reduce rates and<br />
the layers of bureaucracy.<br />
“A community board is another<br />
level of bureaucracy and if it is to<br />
be retained it must deliver value<br />
to ratepayers that exceeds its<br />
costs,” Harris said.<br />
Currently, the board costs<br />
$189,000 a year to operate<br />
which equates to $24 of<br />
rates in Malvern.<br />
In the 2022/23 financial<br />
year each member was<br />
paid $6423 while the chair<br />
received $15,541.<br />
Harris said people<br />
tended to go to their local<br />
councillor instead of the<br />
board.<br />
“Findings from the research<br />
last year indicated residents<br />
tend to lean more towards their<br />
councillor or the council itself<br />
Tim<br />
Harris<br />
for representing their views<br />
and opinions rather than the<br />
community board.<br />
“In fact, of the 401<br />
respondents to the<br />
question ‘Who is<br />
primarily responsible for<br />
representing residents’<br />
interests and opinions’<br />
only 7 per cent answered<br />
‘the community<br />
board’ with 33 per cent<br />
answering ‘the councillor’.<br />
“When you further<br />
separate the respondents out into<br />
their respective wards, only 9 per<br />
cent of the Malvern respondents,<br />
where there is a community<br />

board, considered the community<br />
board as having primary responsibility<br />
for representing their<br />
issues and opinions,” Harris said.<br />
Russell said if the board is<br />
retained it should also be given<br />
more responsibility as it would be<br />
more useful.<br />
“There are certain things the<br />
council could give us, but the<br />
council has chosen to give us one<br />
delegation, basically, which is<br />
the naming being created in new<br />
subdivisions.”<br />
Supporting the community<br />
board’s future was Darfield<br />
Residents Association chair<br />
Harvey Polglase.<br />
“We are extremely concerned<br />
about the proposals to<br />
disestablish the community<br />
board.”<br />
Polglase said they will be<br />
holding a petition in Darfield in<br />
support of the board.<br />
Hororata Trust chief executive<br />
Cindy Driscoll also supported the<br />
community board remaining.<br />

Pub’s future to<br />
be decided by<br />
member vote<br />
• From page 1<br />
The Grouse kept its licence<br />
with conditions over the duration<br />
of its licence renewal.<br />
Humm told members its lease<br />
on the Famous Grouse site in<br />
Gerald St did not expire till 2029,<br />
but it is unlikely to be renewed<br />
after that.<br />
“Earlier this year we were advised<br />
by email that the landlord<br />
would not consider renewing<br />
the lease for us in 2029 because<br />
we had ‘brought the hotel into<br />
disrepute’ because of the opposition<br />
by police to our licensing<br />
renewal application.”<br />
Humm said “foe” of the club<br />
had fed the landlord misinformation.<br />
“Clearly some ‘foe’ of the club<br />
has been feeding him malicious<br />
information which is most unfortunate.”<br />
When asked by <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong><br />
what it means for the future of<br />
the club, Humm said: “That’s<br />
for the members to decide at the<br />
special general meeting.<br />
“I’m in no position to talk<br />
about anything like that at all<br />
until the members decide what<br />
happens.<br />
“The members decide not one<br />
person. It’s a club you know.”<br />
Humm said it will be up for<br />
the members to decide the future<br />
and if the club rejects or accepts<br />
the offer to sell the hotel.<br />
A special general meeting will<br />
be held on <strong>April</strong> 28.<br />
In the email to members,<br />
Humm said: “In order to protect<br />
the assets of the club that have<br />
been created during the last 15<br />
years of trading, we should divest<br />
of the Hotel (Club in a Pub) business,”<br />
he told members in the<br />
email.<br />
An issue for the club was finding<br />
committee members.<br />
“Another matter of concern is<br />
the lack of people willing to offer<br />
their services for committee and<br />
other voluntary roles within the<br />
club.<br />
“This, of course, is not unique<br />
to our Club but does make the<br />
future of business enterprises<br />
like ours rather cloudy.”<br />

close as part of<br />
community shift<br />
THE CANCER Society is preparing to<br />
close its Rolleston centre in favour of a more<br />
localised approach.<br />
The society has decided to not renew its<br />
Kidman St lease and the centre will close in<br />
May, to be replaced with community clinics<br />
in Rolleston, Darfield, Leeston, and Lincoln.<br />
Cancer Society Canterbury West Coast<br />
head of cancer services, Craig Watson<br />
said the move was in response to the<br />
increased need for cancer services<br />
across the district.<br />
Watson said the supportive care<br />
team will now have regular clinics<br />
available across the four areas.<br />
“The move will enable a greater<br />
presence in the community, allowing<br />
all the team to meet face to face<br />
with locals needing their support,<br />
rather than taking one of the team off<br />
the road everyday to keep the doors of the<br />
Rolleston centre open.<br />
“We believe it’s a better use of resource<br />
to invest in getting our team out into the<br />
community.”<br />
The supportive care team role includes<br />
practical support in navigating the healthcare<br />
system and associated documentation,<br />
emotional support and advice and provision<br />
of digital and printed resources specific to<br />
the cancer journey.<br />
Watson said it would help remove the<br />
barrier of travel.<br />
“It enables greater access to our support<br />
services by reducing the need for clients to<br />
travel to us. Instead, we’ll be bringing our<br />
services to them. Removing the need to<br />
travel for an appointment is just another<br />
small way we can help ease the burden on<br />
our clients undergoing a cancer<br />
journey.”<br />
The society is currently working<br />
with local community groups and<br />
the council to find the most appropriate<br />
locations to hold the regular<br />
clinics in each area and hopes to<br />
have these finalised within the next<br />
three weeks.<br />
Craig In addition to regular clinics held<br />
Watson across the four areas, the supportive<br />
care team will still make home visits<br />
as required and provide all the support<br />
services previously on offer.<br />
The Cancer Society can also assist with<br />
referral to, and connection with, additional<br />
support groups and workshops, counselling<br />
services, peer to peer support and rehabilitation<br />
and nutritional services.<br />

School bids farewell to beloved<br />
advocate for sporting activities<br />
Bill Whelan has ended<br />
an 18-year tenure<br />
helping teach school<br />
pupils the importance<br />
of keeping active.<br />
Reporter Daniel Alvey<br />
finds out what else he<br />
gets up to<br />
“THERE’S BILL!” came the<br />
excited shouts from children at<br />
Leeston Consolidated School<br />
when Bill Whelan walked<br />
through the playground.<br />
For about 18 years Bill has<br />
been spending half an hour,<br />
four days a week, with the pupils<br />
at the school showing them<br />
sports activities from hot potato<br />
to cricket and everything in<br />
between.<br />
“You’d take the five-year-olds<br />
and play hot potato or something<br />
like that or skipping or football,<br />
hockey, cricket or league for the<br />
older kids.<br />
“I just try and get the kids<br />
interested and give them the<br />
basic ideas of what the sport is<br />
and how to play,” Bill said.<br />
While the 78-year-old Leeston<br />
resident has now retired from<br />
the role, it will not mean an end<br />
to him helping out at the school.<br />
He will return for big events like<br />
cross country and athletics day.<br />
“I was probably the smallest<br />
paid person on the ministry<br />
payroll in the whole country . . .<br />
not that I did it for the money, I<br />
did it because I wanted to do it.”<br />
Bill said he was overwhelmed<br />
with the response at his<br />
farewell assembly.<br />
“I thought I would just<br />
be mentioned at the end,<br />
but the whole 40 minutes<br />
was about me.”<br />
Pupils gave Bill several<br />
messages.<br />
“One kid said ‘Thank<br />
you for being with the<br />
lonely kids.’ Another said<br />
‘You always find a way to<br />
make the children happy’<br />
. . . One kid said ‘You are the<br />
school’s best teacher’.”<br />
For 15 years Bill has been<br />
working alongside the school’s<br />
sports director and assistant<br />
principal Carol Davison.<br />
“Carol has been wonderful to<br />
work with,” he said.<br />
Bill has always been involved<br />
in sports across a range of codes<br />
from playing rep cricket and<br />
rugby in Ashburton to coaching<br />
and refereeing basketball.<br />
“I played rugby for Mid<br />
Canterbury . . . I scored 1000<br />
points for Celtic and that was in<br />
the days of three-point tries.”<br />
While he did play basketball<br />
at school, Bill said he wasn’t<br />
significantly involved until he<br />
started coaching and refereeing.<br />
“I did play basketball but I<br />
Carol<br />

POPULAR: Bill Whelan may<br />
have only spent about two<br />
hours a week at Leeston<br />
Consolidated School but<br />
he became one of the<br />
most popular teachers after<br />
teaching pupils a range of<br />
sports and activities for 18<br />
years.<br />

wasn’t much good.<br />
“I started coaching basketball<br />
at Rangi Ruru in 1975 and now<br />
basketball is the most popular<br />
sport at Rangi.<br />
“I coached them and<br />
then I coached the<br />
Canterbury junior girls,<br />
the Canterbury B girls<br />
and then the Canterbury<br />
A women in the national<br />
league.<br />
While coaching, Bill<br />
was also refereeing.<br />
“I think I went 15<br />
odd-years refereeing at<br />
the national women’s<br />
champs. Then I refereed for the<br />
national men’s league.<br />
“You’d fly to Auckland and<br />
do a Friday game and then a<br />
Saturday game in Hamilton.<br />
“I refereed Australia versus<br />
New Zealand (in 1978). That was<br />
probably the highlight of my<br />
career.”<br />
His involvement in basketball<br />
earned him a life membership<br />
with Canterbury Basketball.<br />
These days, Bill keeps fit by<br />
playing golf twice a week at the<br />
Ellesmere Golf Club, of which<br />
he is a life member and former<br />
president.<br />
“I’m not a very good golfer. I<br />
play a lot, twice every week.”<br />
Bill said his goal was to shoot<br />
under his age.<br />
“I’m going to have to live for<br />
another 10 years for that to even<br />
be possible because I don’t shoot<br />
under 90 now, so I’d have to live<br />
till I’m at least 90,” he joked.<br />
Throughout his life, Bill has<br />
moved up and down Canterbury<br />
before settling in Leeston.<br />
“I was in Christchurch till<br />
I was 10 then in Ashburton<br />
till I was 26. Then we went<br />
to Amberley in ‘72, back to<br />
Christchurch then back to<br />
Ashburton for a year and in 1991<br />
we moved to Leeston.”<br />
When Bill and his wife Sue<br />
moved to Leeston, they made a<br />
career shift. Bill was in the grain<br />
and seed industry while Sue<br />
was a nurse – they then became<br />
business owners.<br />
“We bought the dairy in<br />
Leeston, then we bought the<br />
dairy in Lincoln, then we bought<br />
the dairy in Springston, then we<br />
bought the bookshop in Leeston<br />
and a horse float business,” Bill<br />
said.<br />
Of all the businesses, they had<br />
the dairy in Leeston for about 15<br />
years before selling in 2005.<br />
“We were working about 60 or<br />
70 hours a week.”<br />
Bill is also involved in the<br />
Ellesmere Lions Club and is on<br />
the Friends of the Ellesmere<br />
Hospital committee.<br />
“I’ve been in Lions for 30 years<br />
and for the last 20 I’ve been in<br />
charge of the fundraising golf<br />
tournament.<br />
“The last couple of years we<br />
have made about $40,000 on the<br />
day.”<br />
He said while he is great<br />
at organising and helping<br />
in the community he’s not a<br />
handyman.<br />
“I’m not a handyman at all. I<br />
could run a golf tournament and<br />
make $40,000, but I struggle to<br />
fix the garage door.”<br />
Bill said if he stops, he will<br />
freeze up.<br />
“I’m useless sitting doing<br />
nothing. If I pick a book up I will<br />
read and if I enjoy it I will finish<br />
it in a day, I’ll just keep reading.”

School says goodbye<br />
to outgoing principal<br />
LINCOLN HIGH School principal Kathy<br />
Paterson has been farewelled after more<br />
than 40 years in education.<br />
After studying at Otago University, she<br />
graduated in 1980 and has worked in the<br />
education sector ever since, spending the<br />
last 10-and-a-half years as principal at<br />
Lincoln.<br />
Paterson was farewelled at the school’s<br />
final assembly for the term last week.<br />
APPRENTICE NICO Portland has<br />
claimed the title of Canterbury champion<br />
at the recent regional heats of the annual<br />
New Zealand Certified Builders (NZCB)<br />
apprentice challenge.<br />
Portland, 20, is undertaking his building<br />
apprenticeship at Leeston’s Craft Specialist<br />
Builders. As well as winning the title of<br />
regional champion, he also won a $500<br />
ITM gift voucher and earned a place in the<br />
national final representing Canterbury.<br />
In the competition, apprentices were<br />
given just eight hours to build a picnic<br />
table following specific design plans and<br />
meeting minimum safety standards.<br />
The picnic tables were assessed by<br />
a panel of expert judges who looked<br />
at technical aspects such as quality of<br />
workmanship, measuring, cutting and<br />
assembly, as well as other essential skills<br />
while working against the clock, with<br />
Portland receiving the top score overall.<br />
In the final, he will compete against<br />
19 other regional winners from across<br />
New Zealand for the Ken Read Memorial<br />
Trophy and $50,000 worth of prizes. The<br />
national final will be held at the NZCB<br />
national conference in June.<br />
“I stayed focused on my project and<br />
paid close attention to detail with what<br />
mattered.I put everything into it. I can<br />
now look forward to the next step.”<br />
Portland said.<br />
She is hoping to spend more time on her<br />
hobbies such as golf and cycling.<br />
Cashmere High School deputy principal<br />
Adrian Fastier will replace her. He said he<br />
was excited about the role.<br />
“I am very much looking forward to<br />
joining the Lincoln community and<br />
continuing to build on the fantastic<br />
contribution Lincoln High School makes to<br />
the local area and its people,” Fastier said.<br />

NZCB Industry Pathways and<br />
Apprenticeship Manager, Nick Matthews,<br />
said the competition demonstrated the<br />
outstanding quality and diversity of<br />
apprentices currently training in the<br />
industry.<br />
“It’s really encouraging for the building<br />
sector to see the talent and motivation<br />
displayed by the next generation of<br />
Kiwi builders at this year’s apprentice<br />
challenge.”<br />

Design flaw sees brigade use old truck<br />
• By Daniel Alvey<br />
FIREFIGHTERS appear to be<br />
making headway in their battle<br />
to get Fire and Emergency New<br />
Zealand to put a key piece of<br />
equipment back on their trucks.<br />
The district’s firefighters rely<br />
on water spray bars, fitted to the<br />
front of tanker trucks, to combat<br />
outbreaks such as stubble fires.<br />
However, the latest batch of<br />
trucks delivered by FENZ lacked<br />
the feature. Without the bar, the<br />
new trucks cannot be driven<br />
around while putting out fires.<br />
Southbridge<br />
Volunteer Fire<br />
Brigade chief<br />
Shane King said<br />
it has opted to<br />
use a 26-year-old<br />
truck with the<br />
bar, in place of<br />
Shane King<br />
its new truck.<br />
“Southbridge<br />
received a new 2023 Hino<br />
medium tanker late last year to<br />
replace the 1998 current truck.<br />
The new truck doesn’t have the<br />
spray bar or the side delivery<br />
our current truck has got,” King<br />
said.<br />
“The brigade late last year<br />
voted to turn down that truck<br />
until we can find a resolution to<br />
get the equipment we need to<br />
serve our community.”<br />
King said bars are invaluable<br />
to brigades in fighting stubble<br />
RELIABLE: Southbridge Volunteer Fire Brigade has opted to use its old truck because it has a spray bar fitted (black bar<br />
below yellow bumper), unlike its new vehicle, which it has parked up.<br />

fires and containing them<br />
quickly.<br />
“It also makes our mop up . . .<br />
a lot quicker so we get volunteers<br />
back to work.”<br />
A FENZ spokesperson said 52<br />
of the 2023 Hino 5000 trucks<br />
have been built, with two in<br />
operation in <strong>Selwyn</strong> at Leeston<br />
and Hororata. Each truck costs<br />
about $350,000.<br />
Leeston Volunteer Fire Brigade<br />
chief Matt Walker said the new<br />
truck lacks capability.<br />
“We have definitely lost<br />
capability, but it hasn’t been an<br />
issue this year due to the jobs<br />
we’ve had.”<br />
Hororata Chief Fire Officer<br />
Bruce Sayer said they were also<br />
missing the spray bar.<br />
“Our old truck (which had the<br />
bar) went to Nelson, and I know<br />
of three incidents where the<br />
spray bar has helped,” he said.<br />
The council is supporting<br />
the addition of spray bars, with<br />
Mayor Sam Broughton, chief<br />
executive Sharon Mason and<br />
head of emergency management<br />
Al Lawn sending a joint letter of<br />
support to FENZ in November.<br />
FENZ Mid-South Canterbury<br />
district manager Rob Hands<br />
said he is now part of a national<br />
working group looking at<br />
designs for retrofitting bars to<br />
the new fleet.<br />
“I think the frustration from<br />
the ground up is that it has taken<br />
so long to implement.<br />
“Because of the actions of<br />
the volunteers highlighting the<br />
importance of this feature on<br />
their vehicles, there is a national<br />
working group now that has<br />
drawn on people within the<br />
industry to contribute to that,<br />
help design it, help ensure that<br />
we’re safe in regard to our health<br />
and safety responsibilities, and<br />
ensure that going forward we<br />
can install this feature,” Hands<br />
said.<br />
He said the bars are somewhat<br />
unique to Canterbury.<br />
“The Canterbury area is the<br />
biggest arable farming sector<br />
and it is a key for us to get into<br />
a paddock, get into the black<br />
pump and roll, get into the edges<br />
and catch any fire that might<br />
have escaped.<br />
“We believe it’s safer for man<br />
and machine to use the spray bar<br />
process.”<br />
FENZ said when designing<br />
new trucks it consults with<br />
firefighters.<br />
“Fire and Emergency takes<br />
feedback from brigades into<br />
consideration. The United Fire<br />
Brigades’ Association, which<br />
represents volunteers, is involved<br />
in all major projects,” the spokesperson<br />
said.<br />
Hands said it will be a learning<br />
process for FENZ as it looks to<br />
improve its merging of differing<br />
requirements for the urban and<br />
rural environments.<br />
“Because it was maybe three<br />
districts out of <strong>17</strong>, obviously it<br />
wasn’t highlighted well enough<br />
for the national fleet team which<br />
has then delayed the process for<br />
getting the right tools for the<br />
right job.”<br />

Keep rates rises in sync with inflation<br />
WE NOW have our mayor<br />
taking a shot at our rating<br />
system, claiming it is at least<br />
part of the cause for the huge<br />
increases in rates. The system,<br />
as far as I am aware, has not<br />
changed in the recent past so<br />
nothing has changed in that<br />
space.<br />
Added to that our council<br />
chief executive claims we have<br />
significantly lower staff numbers<br />
per head of population than<br />
councils of similar population,<br />
without any detail or context and<br />
expects us to pay up on the basis<br />
of that fact.<br />
Both our mayor and our chief<br />
executive need to get to grips<br />
with their responsibility to<br />
do their job and stop making<br />
excuses for their abysmal performance.<br />
We, as ratepayers, have no<br />
alternative but to pay up so I<br />
suggest we insist that rates do<br />
not increase in any year beyond<br />
the rate of inflation and that stall<br />
numbers do not increase by 25<br />
per cent over four years.<br />
Our council is out of control<br />
and must be called out for what<br />
it is by residents<br />
-Nigel Humphries<br />
Sam’s a fine mayor, and he<br />
is quite correct when he says<br />
the rates system is broken. It<br />
is fractured internally because<br />
PHOTO:<br />
ALAN<br />
PEACOCK<br />
councils put themselves above<br />
the residents.<br />
You or I have to face the costs<br />
of inflation and cope within our<br />
household budgets, yet councils<br />
don’t. They know damn well they<br />
can simply slap a bigger rates rise<br />
on year after year.<br />
If finance minister Nicola<br />
Willis wants to serve our nation<br />
well, perhaps she would sponsor<br />
a law change that councils<br />
are required to hold their<br />
spending to a figure at or below<br />
the current rates of inflation<br />
– the same as every home and<br />
business in the country has to<br />
manage with.<br />
If we want to see why our rates<br />
bills are so high – just look at the<br />
waste and extravagance – councils<br />
all around the country are<br />
guilty of this.<br />
Have you asked yourself how<br />
many extra tens of thousands<br />
of extra dollars were spent on<br />
the council building adding the<br />
greywacke cladding, or those<br />
ghastly offset window boxes<br />
around the new library building<br />
in Rolleston? Architectural waste<br />
runs rife in this country.<br />
But then there is my favourite<br />
bugbear, the council library and<br />
service centre at Darfield has<br />
four signs showing where it is –<br />
all on the same corner.<br />
Put the proposed army<br />
museum on the NZDFowned<br />
land at the back of the<br />
(Burnham) camp. At least then<br />
ratepayers will not be called<br />
upon to buy it. They might even<br />
ask the army engineers to handle<br />
the bulk of the construction<br />
work.<br />
-Alan Peacock, Darfield<br />
The mayor and council are<br />
vandals with ratepayers money,<br />

Raw Sisters bringing food positivity<br />
message to Pink Ribbon campaign<br />
MARGO AND Rosa Flanagan<br />
are encouraging their fellow<br />
Cantabrians to host a Pink<br />
Ribbon Breakfast this May, after<br />
teaming up with Breast Cancer<br />
Foundation NZ for its annual<br />
fundraising campaign.<br />
The Prebbleton-raised bestselling<br />
cookbook authors, known<br />
as Two Raw Sisters, are using their<br />
passion for tasty and nutritious<br />
food to inspire Kiwis to tuck in for<br />
a good cause.<br />
“We often have the mindset<br />
that ‘it will never happen to me’<br />
but breast cancer is a lot more<br />
common than we think,” says<br />
Margo.<br />
“For us, hosting a Pink Ribbon<br />
Breakfast is more than sitting<br />
round a table with a bunch of<br />
women eating delicious food.<br />
Without the funds raised, Breast<br />
Cancer Foundation NZ can’t<br />
continue their amazing job of<br />
breast cancer education and<br />
helping those affected by the<br />
illness.”<br />
For Rosa, the role of diet in<br />
breast cancer prevention and<br />
recovery matches the sisters’ food<br />
philosophy.<br />
“We love making and sharing<br />
recipes that make you feel great.<br />
We want to make it easy for<br />
individuals to love food and<br />
experience the positive impact<br />
good food has on our overall wellbeing.”<br />
Breast cancer is the most<br />
common cancer for Kiwi women,<br />
with around 385 diagnosed in<br />
Canterbury every year.<br />
Pink Ribbon Breakfast is<br />
Breast Cancer Foundation NZ’s<br />
largest annual fundraiser, where<br />
tens of thousands of Kiwis host<br />
special events throughout May<br />
in their homes, workplaces<br />
and communities. The money<br />
raised goes towards the charity’s<br />
life-saving work in education,<br />
research, advocacy and patient<br />
support.<br />
Registrations for the event are<br />
now open at pinkribbonbreakfast.<br />
co.nz.<br />
RAW SISTERS: Margo and Rosa Flanagan are using their<br />
passion for food to encourage other New Zealanders to host<br />
a Pink Ribbon Breakfast for the Breast Cancer Foundation’s<br />
annual fundraising campaign.<br />
“Pink Ribbon Breakfast is the<br />
ultimate show of support for the<br />
3500 Kiwi women diagnosed with<br />
breast cancer every year,” said<br />
Ah-Leen Rayner, foundation chief<br />
executive.<br />
“Hosting is easier than ever<br />
before, thanks a new website that<br />
supports people to register, plan<br />
and track their fundraising goals.<br />
“As a charity that doesn’t<br />
receive any government funding,<br />
it’s only thanks to the generosity<br />
of New Zealanders that allows<br />
us to do whatever it takes to stop<br />
women of dying from breast<br />
cancer.”<br />
To help inspire Kiwis to get<br />
involved this May, Two Raw<br />
Sisters are offering Pink Ribbon<br />
Breakfast Club members a<br />
limited-time free subscription to<br />
their app and sharing a number of<br />

Paparua Templeton RSA Charitable<br />
Poppy Trust Annual Appeal<br />
The Paparua Templeton RSA Charitable Poppy<br />
Trust Annual Appeal is an initiative that aims<br />
to raise funds through annual collections. The<br />
bright red poppy is a well-known ANZAC<br />
symbol that serves as a reminder of war and<br />
the sacrifices made by those who have lost<br />
their lives in service of the armed forces,<br />
both now and in the past. The funds are then<br />
distributed to serving personnel, veterans, and<br />
their families who need a helping hand.<br />
The Paparua Templeton RSA Charitable Poppy<br />
Trust is a financially independent organisation<br />
that operates separately from the RSA Club to<br />
ensure that public money collected each year is<br />
accounted for and that the Trust is accountable<br />
for the distribution of funds. It comprises five<br />
trustees from diverse backgrounds, not just<br />
the military, to provide a fair and balanced<br />
approach when determining fund requests.<br />
Bevin Godfrey, the Trust Chairperson, confirms,<br />
“We work to a set of criteria to make sure we<br />
are spending it the right way” and “It’s the<br />
public’s money, and it was given to us to assist<br />
with welfare.”<br />
The Poppy Trust works closely with the RSA<br />
welfare system. The system can tap into<br />
Veterans Affairs and other welfare agencies to<br />
offer various services and support personnel,<br />
ex-servicemen, veterans, and their families.<br />
The Poppy Trust provides another stream<br />
of support, and Bevin confirms that they are<br />
always looking out for each other, including<br />
other regions, when required. From information<br />
supplied by the RSA welfare network, each<br />
claim is treated on its own merits and with<br />
confidentiality, including assistance for glasses,<br />
dental work, funerals, hardship grants, and<br />
ongoing medical issues attributed to their<br />
service. There is no fixed amount for assistance,<br />
and the funds are typically released within 24<br />
to 36 hours of approval.<br />
Of course, money is not guaranteed from one<br />
year to the next, so all donations are greatly<br />
appreciated, especially during tough economic<br />
times. The Poppy Trust provides EFTPOS and<br />
QR codes for donations, as cash is carried<br />
less often. With expanding areas and growing<br />
populations, the Poppy Trust is always looking<br />
for collectors. Regulars usually help for an hour<br />
or two, including old campaigners who spend<br />
half a day collecting money and sharing stories.<br />
However, more collectors are welcomed to<br />
ensure popular collection points are covered.<br />
The need for the Poppy Trust and welfare<br />
assistance is ongoing as people experience<br />
hardship and are living longer. Current soldiers,<br />
airmen, and navy deployed overseas are<br />
coming back with the same illnesses and posttraumatic<br />
stress that old campaigners did, and<br />
as the Chairperson states, “I like to think our<br />
support covers all aspects of welfare.”<br />
Please donate to our Poppy collectors across <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
and help support our veterans<br />

Urban farm inspiration<br />
• By Isabelle Teresa<br />
Farming comes in many shapes<br />
and sizes. Sometimes it starts small<br />
– microscopically small, in this case.<br />
The Esporium has recently opened in<br />
Southbridge, specialising in homegrown<br />
mushrooms that are grown from culture<br />
and spawn.<br />
The Esporium also started small<br />
in another sense – because of a cute,<br />
feisty two-year-old running round the<br />
house. Alexis left her job to become a<br />
stay-at-home Mum, but wanted to start<br />
a home business. Fortunately husband<br />
George trained at Otago University in<br />
food science, so they started exploring<br />
options. Having both been raised in<br />
families that were keen foragers, it<br />
was an easy choice to specialise in<br />
mushrooms.<br />
After that decision at Christmas,<br />
some rapid trial and error went on –<br />
mushrooms are both easy and hard<br />
to grow at home. Strict sterilisation<br />
and pasteurisation processes must be<br />
followed.<br />
However, now Alexis’ and George’s<br />
laundry and garden shed are brimming<br />
with mysterious-looking buckets. Their<br />
first harvest of Pink Oysters sold out<br />
quickly in March, sparked by stunning<br />
photography on the newly created<br />
Facebook page. They’re currently<br />
offering the equally beautiful Grey<br />
Oysters, freshly harvested daily.<br />
Alexis is<br />
passionate<br />
about selling<br />
locally, to<br />
families like hers. “<strong>Times</strong> are tough for<br />
so many, and it’s a real challenge to keep<br />
eating healthy. You can’t buy Oyster<br />
mushrooms in most supermarkets but<br />
we still price ours to match what people<br />
expect, because everyone deserves to eat<br />
gourmet, healthy treats!”<br />
While it’s early days for this<br />
home grown business, their story is<br />
inspirational for others who might want<br />
to carve out their own niche and grow<br />
or create from home.<br />
In <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s rural setting, people<br />
genuinely respond to local initiative<br />
from creators and producers and avidly<br />
support roadside stalls, markets and<br />
local sellers.<br />
Online tools are<br />
easy to teach<br />
yourself: Alexis<br />
created her own<br />
logo and set up<br />
the Facebook<br />
page for free.<br />
AI is also a free<br />
text-creation<br />
tool, although<br />
in the end it<br />
was Alexis’s<br />
Mum who came up with the genius<br />
name “Esporium”!<br />
As to how this urban farm will<br />
develop, there are multiple ideas<br />
brimming – everything from market<br />
stalls to workshops to selling “grow your<br />
own” bucket packs. Like any farm, it’s<br />
a business, and needs proper planning<br />
250 grams of Grey Oyster beauties!<br />
and resources. But first and foremost<br />
businesses need customers – so if<br />

Poppy Places<br />
• By Isabelle Teresa<br />
With ANZAC Day on the horizon, war<br />
memorials will again be front and centre<br />
in the nation’s consciousness as our<br />
symbolic and emotional manifestation of<br />
commitment to family, history, service,<br />
and global connection.<br />
While all cities have them, war<br />
memorials are particularly visible – and<br />
meaningful – in rural life. In even the<br />
smallest villages across <strong>Selwyn</strong>, their<br />
presence is an important focus of local<br />
civic pride. More importantly, the names<br />
on the memorial are the names of local<br />
families, with descendants often still<br />
living there or nearby. In other words, the<br />
memorials are very personal and real in<br />
the present, not only the past.<br />
Across the district, memorials take<br />
many forms: monuments, statues, halls,<br />
gates, stained-glass windows, boards and<br />
plaques. And for the last 10 years, there’s<br />
been an additional way of marking an<br />
official place of remembrance, through<br />
the New Zealand Poppy Places Trust.<br />
Established in 2014 by former<br />
servicemen, the Trust offers a process<br />
to enable local communities to propose<br />
to their council that it marks relevant<br />
locations with a red poppy. This can be<br />
for the signage of new locations, or for<br />
modifying existing signs.<br />
Importantly, the Poppy Places website<br />
also sets out to record the background<br />
story to each location to ensure that these<br />
stories are not lost over time. While the<br />
execution of this aspect needs further<br />
development, it’s a core objective. As a<br />
Founding Trustee, Major (Retired) Joseph<br />
(Joe) Seymour Bolton III RNZAOC, said:<br />
“Many of our street names and places<br />
are directly related to people and events<br />
from overseas military service, but<br />
often that’s only known by a decreasing<br />
number of people. The Places of<br />
Remembrance Project is about ensuring<br />
we all never forget.”<br />
Poppy Place status has so far been<br />
rolled out in four locations across <strong>Selwyn</strong>:<br />
• Messines and Gallipoli streets,<br />
flanking the Leeston War<br />
Memorial Cenotaph<br />
• Springs Memorial Cycle Way<br />
1915–2015, relating to the former<br />
Springs County Council (1911–<br />
63), and commemorating soldiers<br />
from the Springston and Lincoln<br />
areas<br />
• Lakeside Soldiers Memorial Hall<br />
– the post-quake rebuild of the<br />
original 1916 Hall<br />
While not every settlement can muster<br />
a stand-alone memorial, the Poppy<br />
Places Trust offers a method for citizens<br />
to create local meaning and connection<br />
on something as simple as a street sign.<br />
These red poppies are daily reminders of<br />
past realities that still run deep.<br />

Autumn leaves: beautiful yet damaging<br />
No one denies the beauty of autumn<br />
leaves – and leaf-scuffing is a timehonoured<br />
pleasure for all people, young<br />
and old! But if falling leaves get clogged<br />
into your guttering, the situation can<br />
quickly become quite a different story.<br />
Leaves in the guttering lead to leaves in<br />
the spouting and down pipes. This can do<br />
significant damage to your costly spouting,<br />
due to the acidity of the leaf litter.<br />
Worse, if the spouting and down pipes<br />
become blocked, flooding into the eaves<br />
and soffit (overhanging section of roof),<br />
and from there, into the house, is a<br />
common – and costly – consequence.<br />
Local company Gumleaf Gutter Guard<br />
is well known across the region for its<br />
innovative yet simple gutter guards that<br />
protect your spouting, eaves and house.<br />
The guards keep out everything from leaf<br />
litter to hail to snow to nesting birds and<br />
even rats.<br />
The Gumleaf Gutter Guard was<br />
developed in Australia more than 20 years<br />
ago, and has been providing a quality and<br />
effective solution in New Zealand for the<br />
last decade. Having these guards installed<br />
is a huge benefit – quite simply, they<br />
extend the life of the spouting to the life of<br />
the roof.<br />
Gumleaf is happy to install the guards<br />
themselves, although the ease of the design<br />
is such that the installation is 100% DIYfriendly.<br />
Gumleaf has now partnered with<br />
Alps Continuous Spouting to provide<br />
a comprehensive service for all your<br />
spouting needs. This means that you can<br />
Before<br />
now access a coordinated design and<br />
install of any aspect of quality spouting<br />
and guttering, Gumleaf gutterguarding,<br />
fascia, downpipes and any other weather<br />
protection that you may need, with<br />
professional installation to ensure a great<br />
looking finish.<br />

Autumn: the perfect garden planning season<br />
In the gentler weather of autumn,<br />
it’s the ideal time to be clearing away<br />
the spent growth from summer, and<br />
indulging in the pleasure of planning<br />
ahead.<br />
Sharon Crofts advises that this is the<br />
perfect time to clean up and reinvent<br />
whole areas of your garden – not only<br />
because the soil is now easier to work, but<br />
also because the nurseries are set to reveal<br />
their best range of trees in the winter<br />
months.<br />
“What people may not realise is that<br />
winter is an excellent time to be buying<br />
trees. Typically, Plant Centres will have<br />
new tree stocks arriving in winter, so<br />
you have the best selection, and planting<br />
conditions are good. So it’s really<br />
important that you use autumn to clear<br />
out new sections and plan ahead.”<br />
Sharon Crofts Landscape Design, of<br />
Tai Tapu, is on hand to assist. Sharon has<br />
been sharing her expertise with <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
residents for over 30 years. She says: “One<br />
of the things I love about my job is getting<br />
to know my clients and help them bring<br />
their dreams to fruition.”<br />
A good way to start is with an on-site<br />
consultation to discuss your ideas. From<br />
there, Sharon will produce a design<br />
concept and a planting schedule to<br />
create a garden that’s unique to you and<br />
your lifestyle. Working to a landscape<br />
plan is the best guarantee of success:<br />
plantings will be placed in conditions<br />
where they will thrive, and the aesthetics<br />
and usability of your garden space will<br />
be maximised to meet your personal<br />
preferences.<br />
When you call on a professional<br />
designer, you’re accessing their<br />
experience, design flair, and knowledge<br />
and connections. Those who live and<br />
breathe this work every day often have<br />
design and planting ideas or innovative<br />
landscape options that the home gardener<br />
hadn’t considered, Sharon says.<br />
Homeowners have the option of<br />
implementing the plan to fruition<br />
Wednesday <strong>April</strong> <strong>17</strong> <strong>2024</strong> <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> 25<br />
themselves, or alternatively, Sharon can<br />
recommend contractors from her trusted<br />
network who will come to the property<br />
and offer quotes for the work.<br />
So, there’s no better time than autumn<br />
to contact Sharon Crofts Landscape<br />
Design to arrange for a consultation. She<br />
will provide prompt service, a garden<br />
design to suit your individual tastes and<br />
requirements and all the practical helps<br />
and supports that you require.<br />

Book your irrigation session now<br />
Autumn is a critical time<br />
in irrigation installation and<br />
maintenance. If you already have<br />
irrigation installed, this is when it<br />
needs to be checked, serviced and<br />
shut down before the frosts.<br />
If you’re looking ahead to install<br />
irrigation for next spring and<br />
summer, then late autumn/winter is<br />
the time to be doing it – the ground<br />
is soft and installation is a breeze.<br />
At Freeman Irrigation, we’re<br />
encouraging people to get prepared.<br />
If you already have an irrigation<br />
system, we can service it to ensure<br />
all is working as it should, shut it<br />
down professionally over winter,<br />
and issue your annual WOF.<br />
If you don’t yet have irrigation,<br />
we are your local experts. And don’t<br />
worry about the project being timeconsuming<br />
and messy – we install<br />
our systems by mole ploughing<br />
the pipework underground,<br />
minimising damage to your existing<br />
lawns, gardens and landscapes and<br />
creating the no mess solution.<br />
When it comes to managing your<br />
watering, you may not be aware<br />
that there’s been a quiet revolution<br />
in controlling technologies. No<br />
more fiddling with awkward,<br />
temperamental manual timers.<br />
We can set you up with the perfect<br />
solution for your circumstances,<br />
from automated to rain sensor to<br />
a WiFi system that runs from your<br />

your irrigation system’s timing and<br />
flow. For example, if rain is forecast,<br />
the irrigation won’t come on. What<br />

luxury – it is a practical approach<br />
that’s good for the planet as well as<br />
for your wallet.<br />

Moving house: tips to stay sane<br />
• By Isabelle Teresa<br />
While the thought of moving house fills<br />
most people with dread, here’s some tips to<br />
help you feel more on top of the process,<br />
both practically and emotionally.<br />
Old place – prep the LAST thing<br />
you take<br />
If you’re a bit of an organisational nerd,<br />
moving house is the perfect time to geek<br />
out. The first thing you organise, and the<br />
last thing you take, should be your Moving<br />
Kit. This is one box of indispensable stuff<br />
that stays in the house until the very end.<br />
Label it “Leave Here!!!”, to stop any helpful<br />
moving companion packing it up earlier.<br />
You will need:<br />
• packing tape, scissors, sharpie pens,<br />
post-its and paper<br />
• pared-down toolkit for last-minute<br />
dismantling: screwdriver, allen key,<br />
spanner<br />
• little sealable plastic bags for random<br />
bits of things<br />
• all-scenario cleaning products like<br />
white vinegar and a generic kitchen/<br />
bathroom multipurpose<br />
• dustpan and brush, rubber gloves,<br />
rubbish bag<br />
• lots and lots of old rags for dusting,<br />
wiping and cleaning – plan to throw<br />
these away, so that trying to wash<br />
them doesn’t become a stress<br />
• basics to keep yourself going as your<br />
possessions are stripped away from<br />
around you – soap, handtowel, one<br />
roll of toilet paper, a spare kettle or<br />
a thermos of boiling water, tea bags<br />
or cuppa soup, a glass or cup, basic<br />
plate and cutlery in case you get<br />
takeout<br />
• And now the fun stuff – this is your<br />
personal survival kit, so what wee<br />
treats will help you through stressful<br />
emergencies? Chocolate, scented<br />
candle, wine?<br />
New place – prep the FIRST thing<br />
you take<br />
You need to start feeling at home in<br />
your new place as soon as possible, so<br />
make it visibly yours from the moment<br />
you arrive. In the car boot, have outdoor<br />
items that are meaningful for you. These<br />
can be really simple – a pot plant, a<br />
garden ornament, a sign to hang up, your<br />
gumboots.<br />
Get out of the car and put your special<br />
items out first, before you use that new,<br />
exciting door key! Claiming your space<br />
straight away creates an excellent first<br />
memory. And from that day onwards,<br />
these reassuring things will welcome you,<br />
each and every time you come home.<br />

Last-minute Black Caps inclusion<br />
a ‘surreal’ moment for Foulkes<br />
• By Sam Coughlan<br />
DARFIELD’S Zak Foulkes says<br />
his first Black Caps call-up was<br />
completely unexpected.<br />
All-rounder Foulkes got the<br />
nod as an injury replacement for<br />
the five-match T20 tour of Pakistan<br />
after Adam Milne suffered<br />
an ankle injury in training on<br />
the eve of the team’s departure.<br />
Foulkes said he’d had to delay<br />
his pre-existing plans following<br />
the call.<br />
“I was meant to head over to<br />
the UK, play a bit of club cricket,<br />
obviously got the call up and had<br />
to put that on hold a little bit.<br />
“It was very, very surreal. I<br />
definitely wasn’t expecting it,<br />
and yeah, stoked to be a part of<br />
it.”<br />
If he plays, Foulkes will be<br />
Darfield’s second Black Cap,<br />
after Henry Shipley made his<br />
debut in a one-dayer last year.<br />
Darfield coach Shannon<br />
McAleer said the club was proud<br />
of Foulkes and the work he had<br />
put in.<br />
“He exhibits some fine qualities<br />
as a young cricketer.<br />
“Secretly many of us discussed<br />
in private that this was always<br />
a potential for him, that if he<br />
stayed fit, that he was going to<br />
get the nod.”<br />
His Canterbury commitments<br />
mean Foulkes doesn’t play often<br />
for Darfield’s premier side, but<br />
McAleer said he is still heavily<br />
involved with the club.<br />
“I think (this season) he played<br />
three games and to his credit, he<br />
paid his subs.<br />
“He volunteers to come out<br />
and help with working bees<br />
when he can, he’s helped us with<br />
junior coaching as well. And<br />
none of this is paid, it’s all in his<br />
own time.”<br />
Foulkes had a successful<br />
season for Canterbury as a part<br />
of the side that won the Ford<br />
Trophy, and picked up 59 wickets<br />
in all formats to be named players’<br />
player of the year.<br />
He said consistent selection<br />
was a massive part of his success.<br />
“I think Fults and Donks<br />
(Canterbury coaches Peter Fulton<br />
and Brendan Donkers) had<br />
great faith in me and what I was<br />
doing to fulfil a role in the team.”<br />
The first T20 between Pakistan<br />
and New Zealand in Rawalpindi<br />
starts at 2am Friday (NZT).<br />

Hornby seeks to capitalise on shock win<br />
• By Sam Coughlan<br />
HORNBY HEAD coach Wayne<br />
Hemmingson is hopeful his<br />
side’s atypical victory can get<br />
them going this season.<br />
The Red Devils beat Lincoln<br />
18-<strong>17</strong> at Denton Park on Saturday,<br />
their first win of the season<br />
and their first over Lincoln in 24<br />
years.<br />
It was just the third time the<br />
team had won since July 2019,<br />
after going four years without<br />
a victory until last season’s<br />
triumphs over Oxford and<br />
Springston.<br />
Hemmingson said getting off<br />
the mark early in the season was<br />
important.<br />
“It’ll get the guys into the right<br />
frame of mind for this weekend,<br />
with Southern coming up to play<br />
us. We’ve got a couple of tough<br />
ones coming up, but there’s also<br />
a couple that were targeted that<br />
we think that we’ve got a good<br />
shot at.”<br />
He said celebrations after the<br />
win ran long into Sunday morning.<br />
“We didn’t have a repeat of the<br />
spa pool from last year cause we<br />
couldn’t find one, but it was a<br />
good night. I think they needed<br />
it.”<br />
Lincoln captain Caleb McStay<br />
lamented his side’s inability to<br />
get going on attack.<br />
“We just weren’t firing on all<br />
cylinders as we normally should<br />
be, we struggled to move the ball<br />
WINNERS: Hornby’s division 1 side, pictured after their previous victory at the end of last<br />
season, won their first game of the season against Lincoln. PHOTO: HORNBY RFC <br />
wide and we kind of went into<br />
our shell a bit.<br />
“Credit to Hornby, they definitely<br />
brought the game to us,<br />
but we definitely weren’t at our<br />
best on Saturday.”<br />
The loss was Lincoln’s third<br />
in a row, and their second onepoint<br />
defeat after going down 11-<br />
10 to Prebbleton the week prior.<br />
McStay said he believed the<br />
team were close to playing at<br />
their best.<br />
“We can definitely compete<br />
with some of these top teams<br />
when we show up and actually<br />
are playing our best footy.<br />
“We know where we need to<br />
improve and we’re gonna try<br />
and hone in on that these next<br />
couple of weeks, just fix our little<br />
problems and hopefully we can<br />
turn those one-point losses into<br />
wins, cause we’re close.”<br />
Lincoln will face tough opposition<br />
on Saturday hosting<br />
Methven, who have won their<br />
opening two combined country<br />
games and sit second in Pool A,<br />
while Hornby host Southern.<br />
Prebbleton host Glenmark<br />
Cheviot in a clash between two<br />
unbeaten teams while winless<br />
West Melton travel to Oxford.<br />
In Pool B, Waihora host defending<br />
champions Ashburton<br />
Celtic, while Southbridge travel<br />
to Loburn to take on Ashley.<br />
Darfield and Springston<br />
meet in the only all-Ellesmere<br />
match-up, with points from the<br />
game going towards both the<br />
combined country and Coleman<br />
Shield competitions.<br />
WATERSHED<br />
MOMENT:<br />
There was<br />
no repeat<br />
of last year’s<br />
spa pool<br />
celebration –<br />
only because<br />
the team<br />
couldn’t find<br />
one.<br />

Kirkwood Intermediate<br />
School of Choice<br />
Celebrating Kirkwood<br />
House Captains for <strong>2024</strong><br />
Year 7 Camp<br />
Our Year 7 pupils have recently<br />
attended a camp at Ōnuku. This<br />
is a great way for the children to<br />
get to get to know each other<br />
and forms the start of our NZ<br />
Histories programme.<br />
“Ōnuku marae is home to the hapū (sub-tribe) of Ngāi<br />
Tārewa and Ngāti Īrakehu. Our home has been the<br />
setting for some of the most significant and historic events<br />
seeded in the founding of our nation including the signing<br />
of the Tiriti o Waitangi (Treaty of Waitangi) by our Tīpuna<br />
(ancestors).”<br />
Back row: (from left to right): Inian, Juliet, Fergus, Pippa, Harry, Rose,<br />

House Captains for Mansfield/Hillary<br />
Juliet - Ilam Primary School<br />
I love the values that Kirkwood Intermediate School has and the way<br />
Kirkwood Intermediate School has a whole range of activities that students<br />
can take part in. I would like to encourage more activities so students can<br />
put themselves out there and showcase their talents and interests. I wanted<br />
to be a House Captain as I know I am a great leader and I always want to<br />
find solutions to any issues I can.<br />
Inian - Lincoln Primary School<br />
I like that Kirkwood has many different opportunities and there are a lot<br />
of leadership roles for students to develop new skills. I want to be a good<br />
House Captain and good role model. I will also try out new sports and<br />
achieve my academic goals. This year, I would like to encourage more<br />
spirit within the school and encourage others to participate in the many<br />
opportunities Kirkwood Intermediate School has to offer. I would also like to<br />
lead my house to victory!<br />
House Captains for Sheppard/Freyberg<br />
Pippa - Lincoln Primary School<br />
I enjoy Kirkwood Intermediate School for the smaller classes and the many<br />
opportunities that the school offers. This year I would like to make sure<br />
everyone is included and treated equally. I wanted to become a House<br />
Captain so I could be a good role model for my peers.<br />
Fergus - Clearview Primary School<br />
Kirkwood Intermediate School gives you many opportunities to grow and<br />
prove yourself which makes you become a better person. I would like to<br />
make Sheppard/Freyberg the best house in the school and I would like to<br />
encourage other students to try and gain a range of new experiences. My<br />
reason for wanting to be a House Captain is so I have an opportunity to<br />
show myself and be a good role model to others.<br />
House Captains for Britten/Te Kanawa<br />
Rose - Ilam Primary School<br />
What I like about Kirkwood Intermediate School is the relationship between<br />
students and teachers. Also, I like how the teachers have found teaching<br />
methods that everyone enjoys and understands. I would like to improve<br />
my leadership skills and be more able to help my peers by knowing what is<br />
happening within the school as well as knowing what students might need<br />
help with. Being a House Captain will give me more responsibility and will<br />
help me in high school.<br />
Harry - Broadfield Primary School<br />
I enjoy the sports opportunities Kirkwood has to offer. I also like the<br />
Blues awards you get when you work really hard. This year I would like to<br />
encourage others to become high achievers and try get in to as many teams<br />
as possible. I wanted to step out of my comfort zone and I felt like being a<br />
House Captain would be the best way.<br />
House Captains for Rutherford/Batten<br />
Xander - Clearview Primary School<br />
I like Kirkwood because there are always new things to do and learn. There<br />
are a lot of opportunities available from sporting, academic and leadership.<br />
This year I would like our students to have a productive year and I want to<br />
achieve my personal goals. I wanted to become a House Captain so I can<br />
grow and gain experience in leadership.<br />
Wenwen - Lincoln Primary School<br />
I like the single-cell classrooms, the teachers, and the way everyone is so<br />
friendly. I want to contribute to as many events as possible and represent our<br />
school well. I wanted to be a House Captain and help listen to others more,<br />
making it a better school community<br />
I enjoyed all of<br />
the camp, especially<br />
sleeping in the whare<br />
which was so much fun. I<br />
also enjoyed getting to<br />
know our class.<br />
My favourite part<br />
of camp was learning<br />
about the Māori culture<br />
and playing Māori<br />
games. The food was<br />
also delicious!<br />
My favourite part of<br />
camp was sailing on the<br />
Cansail sailing boat. We found<br />
it really interesting. Our group<br />
were given instructions then we<br />
were allowed to go up the front of<br />
the boat to help with the sails. We<br />
also got to steer the wheel and<br />
rotated the boat so we went<br />
in different directions<br />

We will be hosting groups by appointment for our Open Day<br />
sessions. Details on how to book a time will be posted on our<br />

sow some seeds. Some gardeners<br />
sow directly into garden soil that is<br />
still warm from summer. Sowing<br />
in trays of seed-raising mix for<br />
transplanting out later is the easiest<br />
option for most of us.<br />
Tomato plants will keep producing<br />
until the first frosts, but fortunately<br />
they’ll continue to ripen after picking.<br />
Pumpkins, however, must be<br />
left on their vine until fully ripe.<br />
They are ready for harvest when<br />
they have good colour and the vine<br />
begins to die off. Another test for<br />
ripeness is to gently knock them<br />
with your knuckles; a ripe pumpkin<br />
sounds hollow and has hard<br />
skin resistant to denting.<br />
What to plant in autumn<br />
A quick crop of dwarf beans,<br />
radishes or salad greens makes<br />
good use of space where late <strong>April</strong><br />
remains warm, filling the gaps<br />
between slower growing brassicas.<br />
You might also plant some herbs in<br />
containers.<br />
Brussels sprouts are cool-climate<br />
treats well-worth growing if your<br />
Japonicas need dappled light to flourish<br />
THERE IS ALWAYS plenty to do<br />
in the late autumn garden and it’s<br />
a much more pleasant time to be<br />
working outdoors than during<br />
the heat.<br />
Here are some timely<br />
tasks for late autumn:<br />
Lawn care<br />
Grasses will stay a better green<br />
if they are fed with a good quality<br />
lawn fertiliser.<br />
Many weeds establish themselves<br />
in the lawn when it’s<br />
weakened by cold. Examples are<br />
Onehunga weed, cotula, clover,<br />
hydrocotyle and creeping oxalis.<br />
Moss in lawns can be spot<br />
sprayed. The onset of winter is<br />
the ideal time to lime the lawn<br />
winter is cold enough, but get them<br />
in soon. Plant brussels sprouts<br />
where they have some shelter from<br />
strong winds, as they are tall and<br />
shallow-rooted.<br />
Cauliflower grows best in temperatures<br />
between 15 and 20°C. When<br />
it’s too hot the curds may be loose<br />
and plants may bolt, so in warmer<br />
climates, the ideal planting season<br />
is late summer and autumn. This<br />
gives young seedlings the warm<br />
conditions they need to get started<br />
in life, with cooler weather as the<br />
cauliflowers mature. Recently,<br />
however, new heat-tolerant cauliflowers<br />
have been introduced<br />
which will make planting time less<br />
critical. Most varieties are ready<br />
for picking about four months<br />
VIVID: Japonica camellias<br />
come into their own as<br />
winter approaches.<br />
to keep the soil sweet and the<br />
grasses happy.<br />
Pest and disease control<br />
Treat caterpillars on winter<br />
after planting. In a warm climate,<br />
planting a batch of seedlings each<br />
month in March, <strong>April</strong> and May<br />
should keep you in cauliflowers<br />
from June through till spring.<br />
Cabbage, broccoli and kale are<br />
easier to grow than their cauliflower<br />
cousins, but they enjoy the same<br />
conditions. Sprouting broccoli<br />
will keep producing succulent side<br />
shoots well after the main head<br />
has been picked. There is no doubt<br />
home grown broccoli is tastier,<br />
darker green and more nutrient<br />
dense than shop-bought broccoli.<br />
Kohlrabi, another member of the<br />
brassica family, is easy to grow and<br />
tastes like a mild, sweet turnip. The<br />
bulb is delicious in slaws and salads<br />
veges with low toxic sprays.<br />
Check for borers in trees. Clear<br />
away debris and spray exposed<br />
holes. Spray deciduous plants<br />
with lime sulphur after their<br />
leaves fall. This helps clean up<br />
fungal spores and some insect<br />
pests. Do the same (lime sulphur)<br />
to roses immediately after pruning.<br />
Watch for aphids on new<br />
growth in late winter.<br />
Get out your secateurs<br />
Cut out old canes from<br />
multiple-stemmed plants like<br />
abelia and buddleia. Prune<br />
deciduous plants (such as crepe<br />
myrtles).<br />
Don’t, however, prune spring<br />
bloomers or you’ll prevent them<br />
AUTUMN: There’s still time to sow brassica seedlings, such<br />
as kohlrabi and broccoli.<br />
or roasted in the oven. Kholrabi<br />
stems and leaves are edible too.<br />
There are both purple and green<br />
varieties.<br />
The onion family includes lots<br />
of interesting varieties, including<br />
leeks, shallots and spring onions.<br />
Plant seedlings or sow seed directly<br />
into the soil in autumn. Garlic, traditionally<br />
planted on the shortest<br />
day and harvested on the longest,<br />
can be planted successfully from<br />
<strong>April</strong> onwards.<br />
from flowering in spring. In<br />
late winter cut back gardenias<br />
and hibiscus. Prune most roses<br />
in mid-to-late winter. Prune<br />
hydrangeas but only cut the<br />
stems that have flowered.<br />
Camellia season<br />
A hint of winter is the height of<br />
camellia season and the camellia<br />
that is best-loved by traditionalists<br />
is the japonica camellia.<br />
There are more than 200 named<br />
varieties of japonica camellias<br />
with blooms in shades of pink,<br />
white and red.<br />
How to grow japonica<br />
camellias<br />
Japonicas need light shade<br />
Spinach grows best with cool,<br />
moist roots, good drainage and<br />
plenty of compost and fertiliser.<br />
Winter grown spinach is especially<br />
sweet.<br />
Silver beet is easy to grow for picking<br />
all year round in mild climates,<br />
and for at least six months in colder<br />
climates. A great crop for winter<br />
it thrives with ample moisture and<br />
likes fertilisers high in nitrogen,<br />
such as blood and bone.<br />
Broad beans are ready for picking<br />
three to five months after sowing.<br />
In windy areas these tall growing<br />
plants need some kind of frame or<br />
stakes and string for support<br />
Peas are grown from seed sown directly<br />
into the soil. Sowing is timed<br />
to provide the cool soil needed for<br />
germination while avoiding frosty<br />
or hot dry weather during flowering<br />
time. This translates to autumn<br />
sowing for warmer climates, and<br />
spring sowing for colder climates.<br />
to flower and grow well. In full<br />
sunlight their leaves will burn<br />
and the flowers will be very<br />
short-lived. Try to choose a spot<br />
that receives dappled light but is<br />
protected from the early morning<br />
sun. Sun striking the buds in<br />
the morning can contribute to<br />
a problem called balling which<br />
means that the flowers fail to<br />
open.<br />
Soil for camellias<br />
Camellias prefer an acidic soil<br />
that contains plenty of organic<br />
matter.<br />
A mixture of old leaves<br />
and milled cow manure can<br />
be dug into the soil before<br />
planting.<br />

each week of the school term, Monday to Friday. In addition to your core term time hours,<br />
the role will require you to work ten additional days (approx two days, each term break)<br />

We need your help to fill our beds.<br />
Cholmondeley Children’s Centre has<br />
23 beds for tamariki to stay during<br />
times of whānau stress or crisis. On<br />
average just <strong>17</strong> of these beds are filled<br />
due to resourcing constraints.<br />
Every empty bed is a missed<br />
opportunity to support a child in need.<br />
Donate today to give Canterbury<br />
tamariki a safe place to sleep.<br />
Cholmondeley Children’s Centre provides<br />
short term emergency or planned respite care<br />
for tamariki when they need extra support due<br />
to complications at home.<br />
Cholmondeley is an independent charity<br />
and costs just under $3,000,000 per year to<br />
run. 20% of this figure is met by Government<br />
funding, and the remaining 80% comes from<br />
the generous support of the Canterbury<br />
community.<br />

Issue 12 - autumn <strong>2024</strong><br />
Kia ora<br />
Here we are well into autumn, I’ve had<br />
the first frost on my windscreen and I<br />
bring my puffer jacket when walking<br />
oudoors. There is something special<br />
about the crisp air that signals the<br />
start of a season that brings out a<br />
new side of Waikirikiri <strong>Selwyn</strong>. I love<br />
the changing colours of trees and<br />
the dusting of snow on the Southern<br />
Alps. Autumn is a great time for walks,<br />
exploring places like Devils Punchbowl<br />
at Arthur’s Pass or Washpen Falls,<br />
which are stunning all year round.<br />
Grab your bike, walking poles, dog and<br />
whānau and step outside and make<br />
the most of our amazing district!<br />
One of our many school supervised kia crossings.<br />
Keeping our Community Safe<br />
Keeping our tamariki safe around schools and reducing accidents on our roads is right at<br />
the top of my priority list. I was frustrated that an eleventh-hour decision by the Government<br />
late last year forced us to put a pause on plans to reduce speeds around our schools and<br />
critical junctions. However, at a recent council meeting we voted through an interim speed<br />
management plan that is now with NZTA Waka Kotahi for approval. If the plan is given the go<br />
ahead, I hope to see work rolling out variable 30kph speed limits around our schools before<br />
the end of June. At the same time, we will be reducing speeds on the approaches to high-risk<br />
intersections that have been identified by our communities and road safety team. Drive well<br />
and stay safe.<br />

Brighter Business<br />
future<br />
I love keeping my finger on the pulse of what’s<br />
happening across our district and one of the key<br />
indicators of how things are going is to check in<br />
with our amazing business community. Overall,<br />
we are doing well in comparison to other districts<br />
and cities across the country. Our GDP is above<br />
the national average by a good margin and the<br />
number of businesses across <strong>Selwyn</strong> increased by<br />
over 300 in the last year which is great news. This<br />
brings more job opportunities for our fast-growing<br />
population. I had the privilege to officially open<br />
a new hair dressing business in our expanding<br />
Rolleston town centre. I’m keen that our council<br />
continues to support business growth. So far<br />
this year we have run workshops on how to be<br />
a sustainably responsible business and how to<br />
navigate the legal aspects of doing business, as<br />
well as offering one-on-one business support<br />
sessions with a Business Growth Advisor. So,<br />
whether you are starting out or you are a longtime<br />
business, come along to one of our business<br />
breakfasts, or check out our business events and<br />
workshops online.<br />
Look out for these activation stands and have your say.<br />
Planning for the next 10 years<br />
Over the past four months we’ve been reaching out to our communities to ask you<br />
what you want for a future <strong>Selwyn</strong>. You told us that you want us to continue preparing<br />
for growth, but that we need to balance that with keeping and improving the amazing<br />
services and facilities that you enjoy today. At the same time, you have said you want<br />
to see a sustainable <strong>Selwyn</strong>, a place that allows us to grow up, be educated, work,<br />
bring up a family and retire well. We’ve turned that feedback into a plan for the next<br />
decade and now we’d like to know what you think about it. Our plan has a number of<br />
big decisions that we want your view on, from public transport and a new community<br />
facility in Leeston to a potential new recreation and sports facility in Darfield.<br />
Councillors and staff have worked hard to balance affordability with the investment<br />
required. We will continue to be at events across the district to hear your views and<br />
this week I will be at Leeston market on Saturday. Come along and have a chat and<br />
let me know if the plan we’re proposing matches what you want to see for our<br />
amazing district.<br />

One of the sixty activities on offer.<br />
Holiday fun<br />
In <strong>Selwyn</strong> we love activity and supporting our young people to stay engaged and<br />
healthy. We do this by providing parks and reserves, community centres and indoor<br />
courts. We have just launched our school holiday package that runs up to the end<br />
of this month, it’s packed with more than 60 trips, sports, activities and workshops.<br />
Fancy a drumming or pottery workshop, or honing your Minecraft skill with a design<br />
and create challenge, or even the chance to be a spy for the day? This and many<br />
more activities are available across <strong>Selwyn</strong> in our libraries, Te Ara Atea and our sports<br />
facilities. We’ve also made plans for parents and caregivers to join in at a family<br />
medieval day this Saturday or an all-age sports night this Friday at our sports centre<br />
from 6–7.30pm. The sports center activity package is already underway and next week<br />
there is a special ‘Girls on the Go” holiday programme. Girls can choose a full day of<br />
different trips and activities over four separate days for just $50 a day. On offer are<br />
Hip Hop, ice skating, Box Fit or a trip to Mega Air. To find out more or to sign up, jump<br />
onto our website selwyn.govt.nz/events, or pick up a brochure in any of our libraries<br />

A DARFIELD farmer has<br />
spoken of watching a man leap into<br />
the flooded Hawkins River to try and<br />
save himself after a helicopter winch<br />
rescue operation failed.<br />
Rod May had taken his tractor to<br />
the scene on Greendale Rd, to try and<br />
reach the middle-aged man who had<br />
been clinging to the branches of a tree<br />
in the rising waters on Sunday night.<br />
The man had driven into the<br />
flooded river, escaped from his car<br />
and ca led emergency services from<br />
his ce lphone which he managed to<br />
keep with him.<br />
Ultimately, a second helicopter<br />
winch operation plucked the man<br />
to safety after he was swept downstream.<br />
It was a happy ending to the<br />
ordeal which had lasted more than<br />
three hours. The rescue was among<br />
several in Canterbury on Sunday in<br />
flooded rivers.<br />
May said he and his family had just<br />
had dinner when a neighbour alerted<br />
them. Arriving about 8.50pm, he saw<br />
the floodwaters were too high for the<br />
tractor, however, he used its lights for<br />
i luminating the site where the man<br />
was. • Turn to page 5<br />

Money<br />
taken<br />
after big<br />
pokie win<br />
• By Ba ry Clarke<br />
A BAR patron who won $1200<br />
on the pokies may have been<br />
targeted by thieves moments after<br />
she co lected the money.<br />
A group of men who were in<br />
the bar a the same time are the<br />
focus of police inquiries. It is<br />
believed they watched her being<br />
paid, and then quickly swooped.<br />
The incident happened at The<br />
Famous Grouse Hotel in Lincoln<br />
two weeks ago.<br />
After she was paid out a the<br />
bar, the men who had been<br />
si ting nearby went over and<br />
congratulated her. While she was<br />
distracted the money disappeared<br />
from her handbag. She only<br />
realised it was gone after she left<br />
the hotel.<br />
Police have taken CCTV<br />
security camera footage from the<br />
hotel which shows the men going<br />
over to the woman and mobbing<br />
her in a congratulatory way. The<br />
footage also captures a hand from<br />
one of the men going towards the<br />
bag.<br />
Police say they may have<br />
identified one of the group but<br />
aren’t saying anymore about<br />
the incident. The <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong><br />
understands the men are from<br />
the Amberley area.<br />

This approach of growing<br />
certain plants for the benefit of<br />
other plants is ca led companion<br />

around for centuries.<br />
And marigolds are probably the<br />
most famous companion plant<br />

and their roots also contain a<br />

Marigolds are said to deter<br />

While SPCA has tried for years to work with the<br />
greyhound industry to improve greyhound welfare,<br />
the organisation says the industry has been unable to<br />
adequately address its animal welfare problems.<br />
The animal welfare group believes it is clear the<br />
greyhound industry cannot meet its animal welfare<br />
obligations and is no longer acceptable in New Zealand<br />
society. A recent survey carried out by an independent<br />
research company on behalf of SPCA reports that<br />
74% of New Zealanders would vote to ban greyhound<br />
racing in a referendum.<br />

SPRING IS a time when it’s<br />
desirable to be working is the<br />
garden.<br />
However, there are hidden<br />
dangers and one of those is<br />
developing legionnaires’ disease.<br />
Here are some guidelines to<br />
avoid that happening<br />
•Minimise the amount of dust<br />
present when working in the<br />
garden.<br />
• Water gardens and indoor<br />
plants using a gentle spray.<br />
• Read the warning label on<br />
bagged composts or po ting mix.<br />
• Wear gloves.<br />
• Wear a mask so that any dust<br />
is filtered out before you can<br />
breathe it in.<br />
• Dampen po ting mixes before<br />
use.<br />
• Open bags of soil products<br />
slowly, away from the face.<br />
• Make sure the working area<br />
(for example, the glasshouse or<br />
po ting shed) is we l ventilated.<br />
• See a doctor if you develop a<br />
flu-like i lness that seems to be<br />
worsening.<br />
• Wash hands thoroughly<br />
after gardening or handling soil<br />
products.<br />
These are simple, easy and<br />
natural steps that a l gardeners<br />
can take to reduce risk while<br />
continuing to enjoy their garden.<br />

Your guide to all things Real Estate<br />
in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District<br />
Is it time to retrofit your<br />
home’s insulation?<br />
Thermal-backed drapes, check; log burner or heat pump,<br />
check, but why is my house still so cold? In New Zealand,<br />
many older homes were built with minimal insulation,<br />
resulting in heat loss, moisture buildup, and higher power<br />
bills. One way to increase energy efficiency and thermal<br />
performance while improving your comfort is to retrofit<br />
insulation. If you’re renting out your property, it must also<br />
meet heating standards.<br />
Cost can be a barrier for some homeowners, but various<br />
government initiatives and subsidies are available to make<br />
retrofitting projects more accessible and affordable. First,<br />
you must assess the existing insulation to determine the<br />
appropriate type and thickness for your home. Ceiling<br />
insulation can compress over time, underfloor insulation<br />
can sag, and wall insulation may slump, reducing your<br />
insulation’s effectiveness.<br />
For new builds, the Building Code clause H1/AS1<br />
sets the minimum standards for insulation in homes. It<br />
specifies the R-value, which measures insulation materials’<br />
thermal resistance. For rentals, Tenancy Services states<br />
that ceiling insulation over habitable spaces installed<br />
before 2016 will require a retrofit if it is below 70mm.<br />
The requirements for insulation installed after 1 July 2016<br />
are based on the R-values. It is R 2.9 in ceilings, and the<br />
underfloor is R 1.3. Most homes already have existing<br />
insulation, so this can usually be left in place and topped<br />
up to meet the required R-value. However, if you’re<br />
unsure, consult a professional installer.<br />
To install ceiling insulation, rolls or batts<br />
must be laid between ceiling joists, ensuring<br />
a snug fit without compression. Wall insulation is more<br />
costly and may involve injecting insulation into cavities<br />
or fixing insulation boards onto interior or exterior walls.<br />
If it’s possible to access the area, underfloor insulation<br />
usually involves laying insulation under the floorboards or<br />
between floor joists.<br />
While it may seem expensive, retrofitting insulation<br />
in your home can help you meet insulation standards,<br />
improve energy efficiency, and increase<br />
your overall comfort.<br />
