DEPUTY MAYOR SAVES<br />
BEST MATE’S LIFE<br />
• By Daniel Alvey<br />
MALCOLM LYALL is imploring<br />
people to skill up on first aid after<br />
he had to use his training to save<br />
his father-in-law.<br />
It was Lyall’s 67th birthday on<br />
Saturday, <strong>May</strong> 11. To celebrate, he<br />
held a dinner with close friends<br />
and family at his Prebbleton<br />
home.<br />
Lyall, who is <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s deputy<br />
mayor, was in the kitchen carving<br />
meat when he heard his 92-yearold<br />
father-in-law Eddie Willett<br />
coughing.<br />
Eddie was choking on his dinner.<br />
Lyall said it wasn’t unusual<br />
for Eddie to have the odd minor<br />
choking incident, but he was always<br />
able to pull himself out of it.<br />
But then Lyall’s wife Nicola<br />
called out to Lyall and said her<br />
dad was not coming right.<br />
“By the time I turned around,<br />
his lips were blue,” Lyall said.<br />
Lyall rushed over to Eddie<br />
and gave him a hard slap on the<br />
back, hoping that would clear the<br />
blockage. It did not work.<br />

IF YOU HAVE ever choked<br />
before, you will know exactly<br />
how Eddie Willett felt at his<br />
son-in-law’s birthday party<br />

You go downhill very<br />
quickly, and you desperately<br />
want what is stuck down<br />

When that doesn’t happen,<br />
the potential life-and-death<br />
fight you are in is very, very<br />
frightening.<br />
Eddie choked while eating<br />

• By Daniel Alvey<br />
A COMMUNITY advocacy<br />
group is calling for more safety<br />
measures at intersections.<br />
Lincoln Voice has launched<br />
a petition to get flashing stop<br />
signs installed at dangerous<br />
intersections.<br />
In the five years to 2023,<br />
10 people died and 78 were<br />
seriously injured due to drivers<br />
failing to stop or give way at<br />
intersections in the district,<br />
New Zealand Transport Agency<br />
Waka Kotahi data shows.<br />
Said Lincoln Voice<br />
spokesperson Denise Carrick:<br />
“We propose the installation<br />
of flashing stop signs at all<br />
major junctions. These signs<br />
are proven to draw drivers’<br />
attention more effectively than<br />
standard stop signs, particularly<br />
at night or during adverse<br />
weather conditions.”<br />
In recent years, Lincoln Voice<br />
has focused on fighting the<br />
1710-home Lincoln South subdivision,<br />
which it officially gave<br />
up earlier this year. It has now<br />
turned its focus to other issues<br />
in the community.<br />
In 2016, former <strong>Selwyn</strong> police<br />
sergeant Dan Harker helped<br />
get the flashing warning signs<br />
installed on four intersections,<br />
after being prompted by fatal<br />
crashes he had attended.<br />
Lincoln Voice launched the<br />
petition for road safety week last<br />
Monday. It also teamed up with<br />
the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Community Patrol<br />
and the Lincoln Volunteer Fire<br />
Brigade to make a video.<br />
Said firefighter Andy George<br />

Lincoln Voice shifts focus<br />

LUCKY ESCAPE: In February, a driver pulled out in front of<br />
a bus at the intersection of Robinsons Rd and Birchs Rd,<br />
hitting the bus before flipping into a ditch.<br />
HAVE YOUR SAY Have you<br />
had someone run a stop<br />
sign in front of you? Send<br />
us your story in 200 words<br />
or less to daniel.alvey@<br />

in the video: “We have seen it all<br />
and while we agree one crash is<br />
too many, a majority of them are<br />
completely avoidable.”<br />
Lincoln Voice also wanted<br />
measures to reduce speed<br />
installed on the approach to<br />
intersections, and better maintenance<br />
around them.<br />
“Implementing speed bumps<br />
or rumble strips before the stop<br />
signs can help reduce vehicle<br />
speed, ensuring drivers approach<br />
these intersections with<br />
caution,” said Carrick.<br />
The petition also advocates<br />
for regular trimming of trees,<br />
hedges and bushes to improve<br />
visibility and safety.<br />
“The council has a fundamental<br />
obligation to ensure the<br />
safety of its residents and road<br />
users. Unfortunately, the current<br />
state of the roads between<br />
Lincoln and Christchurch does<br />
not meet this obligation,” Carrick<br />
said.<br />
The petition has been sent to<br />
the council.<br />
Said a council spokesperson:<br />
“We have received the petition<br />
from Lincoln Voice and would<br />
like some time now to review<br />
this before we respond.”<br />
The petition had 455<br />
signatures as of 3pm Monday.<br />

‘When he choked I clicked straight<br />
“I was saying: ‘Come on<br />
Eddie, come on’.”<br />
– Malcolm Lyall<br />
•From page 1<br />
Lyall asked Eddie to stand, and<br />
as he did, Eddie collapsed.<br />
The two people sitting either<br />
side of Eddie held him up while<br />
Lyall performed lifesaving abdominal<br />
thrusts.<br />
“I applied the Heimlich<br />
manoeuvre multiple times over<br />
a few minutes and managed to<br />
clear the blockage and get some<br />
air flow.”<br />
Lyall said he did not think<br />
when it happened – he just<br />
kicked into gear.<br />
“When dear old dad choked<br />
I clicked straight into first aid<br />
mode. I was saying: ‘Come on<br />
Eddie, come on’.”<br />
After clearing Eddie’s airway,<br />
they carried him to the kitchen<br />
to put him into the recovery<br />
position.<br />
Nicola and another friend had<br />
already called 111, one using a<br />
cellphone and the other on the<br />
landline.<br />
About 30 seconds before<br />
St John and a fire crew from<br />
Wigram arrived, two volunteer<br />
firefighters from Cromwell,<br />
who had been visiting family in<br />
Prebbleton, came through the<br />
back door to help.<br />
“They (paramedics) in and<br />
found he had gone into cardiac<br />
arrest. On my kitchen floor, they<br />
cut his clothes off and did what<br />
they had to do.”<br />
The paramedics cleared everyone<br />
from the kitchen so they<br />
could work on Eddie.<br />
“As I got up to leave, they<br />
were performing CPR on him,”<br />
said Lyall.<br />
He and the others waited<br />
nervously as the minutes ticked by.<br />
“It was all a jumble; I sat down<br />
on the couch and took a few<br />
deep breaths because I was<br />
exhausted.<br />
“I heard one of them say<br />
‘We’ve got a pulse’ and that’s<br />
when a sigh of relief went<br />
BEST MATES: Malcolm Lyall and his father-in-law Eddie<br />
Willett on holiday on Waiheke Island in February 2023.<br />
When Eddie choked at Lyall’s home recently, Lyall used his<br />
first aid training to perform the Heimlich maneouvre.<br />
through me.”<br />
After the paramedics stabilised<br />
Eddie, he was transported to<br />
Christchurch Hospital, with<br />
daughter Nicola accompanying<br />
him in the ambulance.<br />
Lyall and his other guests<br />
stayed at the house, had dessert<br />
and some tea and chatted about<br />
what had unfolded, while Nicola<br />

texted Lyall updates from the<br />
hospital.<br />
Lyall said it took a while for the<br />
adrenaline to subside.<br />
Later that night, he joined<br />
Nicola at the hospital.<br />
Eddie is now recovering<br />
in Burwood Hospital and<br />
remembers little from the<br />
incident.<br />
Drinking? Don’t drive.<br />
It’s time to get our<br />
heads around it.<br />
SELWYN DISTRICT COUNCIL<br />
We’re continuing to get behind the<br />
wheel after drinking, with alcohol<br />
being a major factor contributing<br />
to deaths and serious injuries<br />
crashes in <strong>Selwyn</strong>.<br />
In 2023, alcohol was suspected<br />
in 19% of total <strong>Selwyn</strong> crashes,<br />
which resulted in 2 fatalities and<br />
13 serious injuries.<br />
In response, NZ Police, NZTA and<br />
partners are coming together this<br />
June to collectively target people<br />
in Canterbury who continue to<br />
think it’s ok to drink and then<br />
drive.<br />
People will be reminded of the<br />
consequences through education<br />
and advertising, backed up on the<br />
ground by Police vehicle checks,<br />
enforcement and driver education.<br />
<strong>May</strong>or Sam Broughton says, it’s<br />
good to see our community take<br />
a responsible approach to sober<br />
driving.<br />
“Together, we are shifting beliefs<br />
and behaviours about drink<br />
driving. This is being led by our<br />
young people and a generational<br />
change in attitudes to drunk<br />
drivers’.<br />
“Our <strong>Selwyn</strong> community is well<br />
aware of the expectation to<br />
arrange a safe ride home. This<br />
June, <strong>Selwyn</strong> District Council is<br />
joining forces with our road safety<br />
partners to focus on the risk<br />
drunk drivers place on all other<br />
transport users.”<br />
Drink driving has a significant<br />
impact not only on the driver<br />
themselves, but on passengers<br />
and people using the road around<br />
them.<br />
Around 40% of people injured in<br />
crashes involving alcohol were<br />
not the drink driver behind the<br />
wheel.<br />

SKILLS: Lyall has been trained in first aid for 50 years, and encourages others to do a course.<br />
“I remember going over for<br />
dinner then nothing after that<br />
until I was in the ambulance,”<br />
said Eddie.<br />
“I’m just thankful to be here.”<br />
Lyall, who lost his father at 19,<br />
said he treats Eddie like his<br />
dad.<br />
“He’s my best mate,” Lyall said.<br />
Eddie lives by himself just<br />
around the corner from the<br />
Lyalls, after moving north from<br />
Oamaru. Lyall visits him every<br />
day for a cup of tea and sometimes<br />
a whisky.<br />
“I take him to the pub and he<br />
has a couple of pints every Friday<br />
night and if he doesn’t get to go<br />
the pub he gets very sad-faced,”<br />
Lyall joked.<br />
Lyall has had regular first aid<br />
training for 50 years. Now he<br />
is encouraging others to do a<br />
course.<br />
“I’ve spent 50 years as an electrician<br />
and for the first 15 years<br />
PHOTO: GETTY<br />
I had regular first aid training<br />
every six months and in the last<br />
35 years I’ve had regular first aid<br />
training every two years.<br />
“I would like to encourage<br />
people to train and do their first<br />
aid because you never know, it<br />
might be your relative, it might<br />
be somebody sitting across from<br />
you in a cafe,” Lyall said.<br />
“I feel privileged to have been<br />
able to clear his airway and keep<br />
him alive.”<br />

Destructive blaze<br />
caused by ashes<br />
• By Isabella Adams<br />
ASHES FROM an indoor heating appliance<br />
sparked a blaze on a Rolleston property last<br />
week.<br />
Crews from Lincoln and Leeston were<br />
called out to battle the fire in Goulds Rd<br />
about 1.30pm on Thursday.<br />
Five day old embers from the fire place<br />
had been put outside to cool but they blew<br />
into a nearby hedge, causing it to catch fire<br />
which then spread to a double garage.<br />
Lincoln fire brigade chief Richie Bee said<br />
the blaze took about 20 minutes for the<br />
crews to contain.<br />
Bee also said the owner’s quick-thinking<br />
prevented the fire from spreading to the<br />
house on the property.<br />
The garage was destroyed and about 20<br />
metres of hedge damaged.<br />

Big project focus means no rates relief<br />
• By Daniel Alvey<br />
RATES WILL likely remain<br />
the same after more than<br />
1500 submissions, four days<br />
of hearings and two days of<br />
deliberations.<br />
While the final figure is yet<br />
to be calculated, it is unlikely to<br />
vary much from the proposed<br />
15.6 per cent rise the council<br />
consulted the community on.<br />
Councillors spent two days<br />
making changes to its <strong>2024</strong>-34<br />
draft Long Term Plan based on<br />
the submissions.<br />
Feedback ranged from asking<br />
the council to cut costs or to<br />
build new facilities.<br />
During deliberations,<br />
councillors generally followed<br />
the recommendations of council<br />
staff with no major projects cut<br />
from budgets.<br />
It is anticipated double-digit<br />
rises will continue for the next<br />
three years, but rates will go no<br />
higher than 16 per cent after<br />
councillors decided that would<br />
be the maximum.<br />
The maximum rates rise for<br />
the last LTP was set at 6 per<br />
cent.<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong>, along with all other<br />
councils, is battling cost<br />
increases.<br />
Since the last LTP, interest<br />
rates have gone from 2.5 per<br />
cent to 6 per cent, roads are<br />
27 per cent more expensive to<br />
NO SALE: The council will not buy Broadfield Gardens after it was asked to by residents.<br />
build, sewage systems are 30 per<br />
cent more expensive, and the<br />
cost of bridges is up 38 per cent<br />
Council staff will now make<br />
the changes before the final<br />
version is signed off on July 3.<br />
The Big Decisions<br />
Councillors had three big<br />
decisions to debate.<br />
Big decision one is to build<br />
three new park-and-ride facilities<br />
in the district, two in Rolleston<br />
and one in Lincoln which will<br />
cost $11.6 million for all three<br />
sites. But construction will rely on<br />
co-funding from NZ Transport<br />
Agency Waka Kotahi which will<br />
fund 51 per cent of the cost.<br />
The plan will add $4.67 to rates<br />
in 2025 and $17.73 from 2027<br />
onward.<br />
Big decision two was broken<br />
into two parts – a new community<br />
facility and library for Leeston<br />
and upgrades to Leeston Park.<br />
The council decided it<br />
would retain $19m to build the<br />
community centre and library, but<br />
construction would not start until<br />
more consultation was done.<br />
During the submission process,<br />
council executive director of<br />
community services and facilities<br />
Denise Kidd said there were some<br />
interesting submissions which<br />
needed further investigation.<br />
To do that, the council will<br />
establish a working group with<br />
community members. The impact<br />
on rates will be $33.41 per year.<br />
For Leeston Park, council<br />
decided to continue with<br />
landscape improvements which<br />
will cost $3.4m, adding $117.18 to<br />
rates over 10 years.<br />
The council will also look<br />
at a rifle range building at the<br />
park and explore options for a<br />
multi-use facility for small-bore<br />
shooting and archery, but neither<br />
has any funding committed.<br />
Big decision three will see a<br />
recreation facility with two indoor<br />
courts built in Darfield. It will cost<br />
$11.28m and will be built in 2027<br />
and add $18.18 to rates per year.<br />

New office aims to<br />
meet growing demand<br />
Already well established in Rolleston,<br />
real estate company Harcourts Four<br />
Seasons has opened a brand-new office<br />
in Rolleston’s new village.<br />
Demand for the company’s services<br />
has increased with the continuing<br />
residential growth across the whole<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> area, so they are excited to be<br />
opening larger premises with more<br />
salespeople, branch manager Richard<br />
Tait says.<br />
“Our spacious new office is located<br />
in Tennyson Street next to Te Ara Atea,<br />
the new civic centre. It has two floors,<br />
and with the extra space we are looking<br />
forward to increasing our sales staff<br />
from 12 to 20,” Richard says.<br />
Meanwhile, he says, the original<br />
office at Rolleston Square will have a<br />
greater focus on property management,<br />
a strategic shift that aims to address<br />
the increased demand and enhance the<br />
quality of service for both tenants and<br />
property owners.<br />
“We have been in Rolleston for 15<br />
The Harcourts Rolleston team.<br />
years providing excellent service for<br />
our clients, which will continue with<br />
our current experienced staff and new<br />
people that join us.<br />
“Our staff are all locals, and we hope<br />
to employ more local people, so we<br />
are looking for bright, enthusiastic<br />
individuals that may be looking to<br />
start a new career or want a change<br />
from their present position. We have a<br />
great culture amongst our team, which<br />
everyone enjoys.”<br />
Richard says with ongoing subdivision<br />
development, Rolleston is<br />
continually attracting new families,<br />
with many relocating from the North<br />
Island. Even with that demand, he says,<br />
Christchurch and the <strong>Selwyn</strong> district are<br />
still among the most under-valued areas<br />
of New Zealand.<br />
“The median sale price for a<br />
property with three to four bedrooms<br />
is $771,000 and prices generally range<br />
from $650,000 to $850,000. There’s<br />
everything from first homes to luxury<br />
The bright and<br />
welcoming reception area.<br />
Harcourts Rolleston’s stylish new<br />
office in the new Rolleston village.<br />
properties, so there are opportunities<br />
for everyone.”<br />
While the real estate market across<br />
New Zealand has been slower in recent<br />
months, this trend has not affected<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong>, and demand for local Harcourts<br />
properties is described as excellent.<br />
“It’s all go,” says Richard.<br />
“It’s a good time to buy or sell. Buyer<br />
confidence is high and seller confidence<br />
is excellent, keeping our sales team busy.<br />
“Among our new Rolleston residents,<br />
we are also seeing a more ethnically<br />
diverse group of people, which makes<br />
ADVERTORIAL<br />
the community more vibrant.”<br />
So, for anyone looking for a quality<br />
family home at a reasonable price,<br />
among other quality homes and in an<br />
attractive environment with plenty of<br />
amenities, Richard believes Rolleston<br />
has a lot to offer.<br />
“In addition to Te Ara Atea, which<br />
includes the library and other excellent<br />
community facilities, there are several<br />
early childhood centres and primary<br />
schools, and there is a new high school,<br />
with plans for a second one.<br />
“The swimming pool has been<br />
extended and we have baseball and<br />
softball fields. Also, a lot of new<br />
restaurants, fast-food outlets and shops<br />
have opened - in fact there are around<br />
15 to 20 new businesses close to our<br />
new office.”<br />
Harcourts Four Seasons’ new office<br />
is now open and they look forward<br />
to bringing sound results for clients<br />
buying or selling properties, not just<br />
in Rolleston, but right across the<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> District. Give them a call on<br />
(03) 347 4711.

Sheffield Pool<br />
The Sheffield Pool has been<br />
thrown a lifeline after being up<br />
for demolition due to its age and<br />
condition – the pool tub is 70<br />
years old and is leaking.<br />
While 61.2 per cent of<br />
submissions supported the<br />
closure, submissions from the<br />
Sheffield area wanted the pool to<br />
remain, but it will be handed over<br />
to the community to be run and<br />
funded by a community-run legal<br />
entity.<br />
The council will keep the pool<br />
open for this summer while the<br />
group is established. But there<br />
is still a clock on the pool, if no<br />
agreement is decided by June<br />
30 next year, the pool will be<br />
demolished.<br />
Broadfield Gardens<br />
Despite interest from the<br />
community, the council will not<br />
buy Broadfield Gardens.<br />
The highly rated garden on<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> Rd is currently on the<br />
market. Despite 13 submitters<br />
asking the council to buy the<br />
gardens and keep them publicly<br />
owned, council staff said it would<br />
be too costly.<br />
It is understood the gardens<br />
have a sale price of about $2m,<br />
with the council estimating it<br />
would cost about $200,000 per<br />
year to run.<br />
Staff recommended that those<br />
who want the gardens retained<br />
form a trust to buy the site and<br />
retain community ownership.<br />
Strategic partnerships<br />
Some community groups have<br />
received boosts in their funding<br />
as part of the council’s strategic<br />
partnerships.<br />
Over the next three years, the<br />
following groups will receive<br />
funds from the council: <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
Sports Trust ($140,000), Lincoln<br />
EnviroTown Trust ($150,000),<br />
Te Ara Kākāriki Greenway<br />
Canterbury Trust ($130,000),<br />
24/7 Youth ($100,000), Waihora<br />
Ellesmere Trust ($60,000),<br />
Summit Road Trust ($60,000).<br />

Some submitters asked the<br />
council to install water fountains<br />
in townships which would filter<br />
out chlorine.<br />
Council staff estimated each<br />
installation to cost $20,000 to<br />
build and $20,000 each year to<br />
maintain. This was deemed not<br />
cost-effective.<br />
Council office extension<br />
The council will spend $3.7m over<br />
the next two years to upgrade<br />
its Rolleston office. The upgrade<br />
will include an extension to<br />
accommodate more staff, EV<br />
charging for council vehicles, and<br />
cultural improvements to the<br />
council chambers and entrance<br />
way. Council currently rents an<br />
office space in Rolleston town<br />
centre for 30 staff.<br />
Arts strategy<br />
The council will develop an arts<br />
strategy over the next year to<br />

in motorcycle crash<br />
TRIBUTES HAVE been paid to<br />
a motorcyclist killed in a crash<br />
in Rolleston.<br />
Shafie Bin Sulaiman, 52, died<br />

Readers blame council<br />
for event parking woes<br />
Readers respond to<br />
the parking issues<br />
near Foster Park. In<br />
the <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong>, the<br />
Rolleston Rugby Club<br />
called for leniency over<br />
parking restrictions<br />
on busy periods like<br />
Saturday mornings<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> District Council states<br />
there is also adjacent parking at<br />
the pool for the multiplicity of<br />
sports events happening at the<br />
same time on said lucrative ‘fine<br />
day’ Saturday.<br />
No, there isn’t. I was at the pool<br />
on Saturday. The 20-metre pool<br />
was closed to swimmers bar two<br />
lanes for all the kids’ coaching.<br />
Remember that complex has<br />
also been expanded substantially<br />
since the new pool – about 50 per<br />
cent – (with) no extra parking<br />
provided, so to say there’s pool<br />
complex parking available for<br />
football, netball, rugby etc but<br />
still available for families at the<br />
playground is rubbish.<br />
Also, how has the council<br />
measured the ‘largely positive’<br />
feedback? Easy throwaway<br />
comments to advantage a<br />

of stringed instruments, with<br />
the players keen to show off its<br />
distinctive sound for the town’s<br />
music lovers.<br />
The Darfield group was formed<br />
in 2018, quickly growing to about<br />
20 members.<br />
Group leader Adele Langlands<br />
has been teaching music for more<br />
than 25 years.<br />
“We talked about having a<br />
group, making it more community<br />
style rather than just<br />
one-on-one tuition. So we decided<br />
we’ll give ukulele a go, and (it was)<br />
amazing.”<br />
She said it was all about people<br />
just having fun.<br />
“There’s all sorts of variety of<br />
backgrounds. Some of them have<br />
played classical music, the piano,<br />
cellist or whatever, and others<br />
have never touched an instrument<br />
before. But it’s the type of instrument<br />
you can learn quite quickly<br />
and join in. Even if you can’t play<br />
it perfectly it doesn’t matter.”<br />
One player reckons the ukulele<br />
is one of the easiest instruments<br />
to learn.<br />
“I’ve tried the guitar, but I just<br />

can’t get the six strings. Four<br />
strings is so much easier.”<br />
The community-friendly<br />
instrument is gaining in<br />
popularity, with more and more<br />
groups popping up.<br />
The Dugs say they’re planning<br />
to have more public outings to<br />
help inspire the next generation of<br />
‘ukulelists’.<br />

burnham country montessori – Where fun and learning go hand in hand!<br />
At Burnham Montessori we have real grass, lots of room to play and explore, and a dedicated classroom for our 4-5 yr old children.<br />
To understand what is so special about what we offer, you may be interested to know a little about Maria Montessori. She graduated in 1896 as the first woman doctor<br />
in Italy and made scientific observations of children’s almost effortless ability to absorb knowledge from their surroundings, as well as their tireless interest in manipulating<br />
materials. Every method and principle that comprises the worldwide Montessori movement today is based on what Maria observed children doing “naturally,” by<br />
themselves.<br />
So what do we do? We provide a unique country and farm environment for children to explore and discover as they start to develop a sense of wonder and make<br />
sense of the world around them. Our qualified staff facilitate these experiences to support each child in their individual learning journey.<br />
Our aim is to foster each child’s potential, while assisting children to better understand, express and regulate their emotions. We support and promote social and<br />
emotional competence, in a delightful environment that assists each child’s learning and engagement, encouraging reflection, inquiry and problem solving, with the<br />
aim of cultivating the child’s natural love of learning and their ongoing inquisitiveness.<br />
Our country setting<br />
We are on a large slice of rural land, 5km outside Rolleston and a short distance from Lincoln and the Burnham Military Camp. The large, open and well-resourced<br />
playgrounds have native plantings, vegetable gardens, and large decked areas for the children and their families/whānau to enjoy. It is one of the largest natural,<br />
aesthetically pleasing outdoor playgrounds in <strong>Selwyn</strong>, with real grass!<br />
Here, children interact with and learn to respect nature. They learn how to care for the environment through gardening and a<br />
range of outdoor experiences.<br />
Well-resourced classrooms<br />
We emphasise all aspects of the Montessori programme, including practical life skills, sensorial development, language and<br />
reading, mathematical understanding (progressing from the concrete to the abstract), music , movement and cultural activities.<br />
Children are not required to learn by heart at first, but utilise all their senses to help them with their pre reading and writing skills.<br />
The classrooms in which these explorations take place are bright, fun and well-resourced.<br />
Connection with whānau<br />
It’s crucial for us to link family with everything that is happening with children. From the first settling-in visit, your child is part of<br />
the Burnham Montessori family, and staff will talk to you about your child’s routines, needs and interests. Each classroom has a<br />
designated head teacher and staffing team, so<br />
you always have a direct line of contact.<br />
Sustainability<br />
We are committed to teaching children about<br />
how to care and respect for our environment,<br />
and cover all aspects of classroom, facilities and<br />
consumables management and nature – it helps<br />
having a food scraps-munching pig on site too!<br />
Please visit!<br />
You have to see this for yourselves. Please feel<br />
free to contact us anytime and arrange a time to<br />
come in for a visit.<br />

All to play for in competition’s final round<br />
WAIHORA REMAIN on top<br />
of pool B in the Luisetti Seeds<br />
combined country competition<br />
after a hard-fought 24-10 home win<br />
over Darfield to celebrate their club<br />
day on Saturday.<br />
The victory locked up a home<br />
quarterfinal spot for Waihora with<br />
one round of the competition left<br />
to play while Darfield dropped to<br />
fifth in the standings, outside the<br />
quarterfinals.<br />
In pool A, Prebbleton’s 59-7<br />
demolition of strugglers Hornby<br />
maintained their place in the<br />
quarterfinals but remain outside the<br />
spots for home advantage due to inferior<br />
points difference to Southern.<br />
Their clash on Saturday at<br />
Prebbleton Domain in the last<br />
round of the competition will<br />
determine the final quarterfinal<br />
spots.<br />

Dramatic change needed to fix<br />
unsustainable rugby landscape<br />
Bevan Sisson<br />
Rugby matters<br />
WHEN WILL New Zealand<br />
Rugby and the provincial unions<br />
realise the game isn’t the shining<br />
golden cloak of NZ sport. The<br />
landscape isn’t changing – it’s<br />
changed, got dressed and left the<br />
sheds.<br />
The Players’ Association<br />
has laid down an ultimatum<br />
to change the governance or<br />
they will force an even greater<br />
disruption.<br />
Its chief Rob Nichol has<br />
put the blame squarely at the<br />
provincial unions for stopping<br />
the introduction of a new model<br />
as the unions struggle to keep<br />
control.<br />
The NPC and the community<br />
game need to have a completely<br />
separate amateur body. This<br />
new body would realise it is<br />
unsustainable to fly around the<br />
country and stay in hotels and<br />
pay players, in what should be<br />
an amateur competition.<br />
The salary cap for the NPC is<br />
$1.1 million with some unions<br />
reporting spending up to $1.4m<br />
– money that doesn’t need to be<br />
spent. That excludes coaches and<br />
support staff.<br />
The crowds don’t warrant it<br />
and the viewing audiences don’t<br />
justify it.<br />
The competition format needs<br />
to change.<br />
One option could be a<br />
conference system with North<br />
and South Island conferences,<br />
with the winner of each<br />
conference playing in a final.<br />
It should have a promotionrelegation<br />
component for<br />
something to aspire to. This<br />
could also open up the door for<br />
an extra Heartland team for the<br />
South Island to be introduced,<br />
such as Canterbury Country.<br />
There will be many differing<br />
ideas on how a new format<br />
should look:<br />
• Removing payments to<br />
players.<br />
• No day training but after<br />
work sessions, with player and<br />
team reviews done online.<br />
• They bus to and from games<br />
where they can, saving money<br />
on expensive flights. Look at<br />
the situation South Canterbury<br />
ended up with, missing out on<br />
a shield challenge due to the<br />
costs of flights, stopping players<br />
having a shot at the shield.<br />
• Games played at parks with<br />
no television requirements,<br />
allowing them to be played at<br />
local domains for everyone to<br />
watch local players they identify<br />
with. The success of Canterbury<br />
v Auckland last year at Rangiora<br />
Showgrounds proved it can be<br />
done.<br />
• The Super Rugby franchises<br />
will have scouts looking at<br />
these games and there is still<br />
an opportunity for someone<br />
that has slipped through to get<br />
picked up by a franchise.<br />
Now to the professional game.<br />
Let’s be honest, most of the top<br />
players have played minimal or<br />
any club rugby or even NPC.<br />
Look at the case of young<br />
Jamie Hannah, ex Christchurch<br />
Boy’s High. He is a great young<br />
player with real ability. Straight<br />
SPLIT: New Zealand Rugby Players’ Association chief Rob Nichol has threatened to form a<br />
new body, which will be established to govern the professional game if NZ Rugby doesn’t<br />
vote on governance reforms by the end of the month.<br />

out of high school and into the<br />
Crusaders Academy via Lincoln<br />
University.<br />
His path has been Crusaders<br />
U20s, NZ U20s and then into<br />
the Crusaders. No NPC pathway<br />
for that young fella. Aaron<br />
Webb, the Crusaders Academy<br />
and talent ID manager,<br />
identified his class early,<br />
enabling him to be fast-tracked.<br />
It does raise questions though.<br />
What happens to the<br />
professional players between<br />
Super Rugby seasons? Could<br />
the Crusaders do a longer offseason<br />
tour to generate income,<br />
enabling them to trial fringe<br />
players and keeping those not<br />
involved in the ABs, NZ XV<br />
and U20s in meaningful rugby<br />
before the next Super season,<br />
while also creating much needed<br />
income?<br />
With any change there will<br />
be issues, like where does the<br />
Ranfurly Shield fit in. Does<br />
it become an FA Cup style<br />
competition? Is a new format<br />
going to be manageable? Where<br />
does the women’s professional<br />
game sit? There are more<br />
questions than answers and<br />
many things that need to be<br />
solved, but change needs to<br />
happen and staying with the<br />
status quo is not the answer.<br />

A win to savour in a season of struggles<br />
SOLID: Crusaders lock and Lincoln High School product<br />
Antonio Shalfoon put in a big performance in Saturday<br />
night’s victory over the Blues.<br />
PHOTO: GETTY<br />
THE CRUSADERS have<br />
stumbled and bumbled through<br />
the season. With one highlight<br />
being the win over the Chiefs<br />
in round six and a low light in<br />
round 9 being well beaten by the<br />
Force.<br />
They can now add another<br />
highlight to a struggling season<br />
with the win over the Blues.<br />
Both sides had motivation for<br />
the game – the Blues cement<br />
themselves at the top, and the<br />
Crusaders need to get themselves<br />
away from the bottom.<br />
The Crusaders showed real<br />
grit with a plan to take it to the<br />
Blues at scrum time and in the<br />
tight with the backs starting to<br />
show some real direction in an<br />
up tempo game plan.<br />
What a great story seeing Antonio<br />
Shalfoon previously from<br />
Lincoln High School. A few<br />
weeks ago his game time was<br />
running out for Springston in<br />
the combined country competition.<br />
He played well and showed<br />
the need for a big tight head lock<br />
in that Crusaders pack.<br />
Does Saturday night’s win<br />
smooth over the lumps of the<br />
season? Definitely not and a<br />
robust review will be needed<br />
from their training (why do<br />
they have so many non-contact<br />
soft tissue injuries?) to the make<br />
up of the coaching group and<br />
management.<br />
But let’s enjoy the moment<br />
and that can be sorted later on.<br />
Rob Penney may have woken up<br />
on Sunday with a headache, but<br />
hopefully because he has had a<br />
couple of celebratory beers and<br />
not over the issues of the past<br />
week.<br />
The Crusaders still require a<br />
lot of results to fall their way to<br />
make the eight so they will need<br />
to fight like they are the third<br />
monkey on the ramp to Noah’s<br />
Ark, and brother it’s starting to<br />
rain.

GARDENING 25<br />
How to cultivate<br />
the best beans<br />
THERE ARE three things in life<br />
you can count on: Death, taxes,<br />
and broad beans. Here’s how<br />
to cultivate the great gift of the<br />
garden.<br />
Vegetables<br />
Traditionally, broad beans are<br />
sown from March until mid-<br />
<strong>May</strong>, to stand through the winter<br />
and bear crops in early summer.<br />
Renowned for their hardiness,<br />
broad beans are a favourite<br />
vegetable with many southern<br />
gardeners, as not only do seeds<br />
germinate in cold ground but the<br />
plants prefer heavier soils.<br />
The soil for broad beans should<br />
be well drained and enriched<br />
with plenty of compost. Phosphates,<br />
supplied by adding bone<br />
dust or superphosphate, will<br />
encourage healthy growth. Applying<br />
lime at the rate of 50g per<br />
square metre some time before<br />
sowing sweetens sour, acid soils.<br />
Tall broad bean plants need<br />
to be supported, and they can<br />
provide excellent windbreaks for<br />
tender spring crops. Site the rows<br />
where they will be useful shelter<br />
for the likes of lettuce, outdoor<br />
tomatoes and French beans.<br />
Sow broad beans in double<br />
rows, about 20cm apart, with the<br />
seeds placed about 10cm apart<br />
and 5cm deep. Sow a few extra<br />
seeds at the end of rows to transplant<br />
into any gaps.<br />
If you are growing redflowered<br />
or other heritage broad<br />
beans and want to save seeds, be<br />
aware they will cross-pollinate<br />
with other broad beans within<br />
bee-flying distance and may not<br />
breed true.<br />
Flowers<br />
Gladioli should be lifted this<br />
month, even if the tops still look<br />
a bit green. Lift them and trim<br />
the tops, but do not cut them<br />
off completely. Put the corms<br />
in paper – not plastic – bags on<br />
which the colour or variety is<br />
written and hang in a cool, dry<br />
place to ripen. When the foliage<br />
is completely dry, it can be<br />
removed and the gladioli stored<br />
in boxes or paper bags, but that<br />
is not essential.<br />
Hyacinths can still be planted,<br />
but do not delay if you want<br />
spring blooms. For good spikes<br />
of flowers, the bulbs should be<br />
in rich soil with some bone dust<br />
added to promote bulb growth.<br />
Snowdrops and crocuses can<br />
be planted for a spring display,<br />
too.<br />
Tulips give good results when<br />
planted later in autumn than<br />
other bulbs. They like a rich soil,<br />
with fine river sand under each<br />
bulb to improve drainage.<br />
Hardy annuals, biennials and<br />
perennials can still be planted for<br />
late spring and summer displays<br />
but, as with bulb planting, it is<br />
important to get on with it.<br />
Sweet peas may still be sown<br />
in pots or boxes under shelter.<br />
If this cannot be provided, wait<br />
until spring and place where the<br />
plants will flower.<br />
For those serious about their<br />
sweet peas, trenches for them<br />
can be prepared now. Make them<br />
1m wide and two spades deep.<br />
Mix garden compost, autumn<br />
leaves, seaweed, stable manure or<br />
other organic material into the<br />
subsoil. Replace topsoil, enriched<br />
with bone meal or superphosphate<br />
and crushed limestone<br />
(50g per m each).<br />
Annuals sown earlier for<br />
spring flowering can be thinned<br />
as soon as they can be handled,<br />
leaving 5cm divisions. Further<br />
thinning is necessary as the<br />
plants become larger until they<br />
are finally 20cm or more apart.<br />
Chrysanthemums which have<br />
finished flowering should be<br />
cut down to within 15cm of the<br />
ground to encourage growth<br />
from the basal shoots.<br />
Dahlias left in the ground from<br />
year to year usually produce the<br />
earliest blooms, but unless your<br />
garden is very sheltered this is<br />
not recommended, because hard<br />
frosts can kill the tubers, turning<br />
them to a slimy mess.<br />
Lift them carefully and store<br />
in damp sawdust for the winter<br />
under shelter, ideally in temperatures<br />
between 2 and 5 degrees<br />
Celsius.<br />
If you must leave dahlia tubers<br />
in the ground, they can be protected<br />
from frosts by piling extra<br />
soil over them or covering the<br />
ground with bracken or scrub.<br />
Make a note on the calendar to<br />
lift them in early October and<br />
replant single pieces with a bud<br />
attached.<br />
Fruit<br />
Fruit trees will start appearing<br />
in nurseries soon, and many garden<br />
centres supply a list of what<br />
they will be stocking. If you<br />
want particular varieties, it pays<br />
to get in early.<br />
That applies particularly to<br />
double and triple-grafted apples,<br />
pears, plums and apricots. Check<br />
with fruit trees need pollinators<br />
and choose accordingly.<br />

Stylish, smooth EV ticks all the right boxes<br />
THE ID.4 IS A milestone on<br />
the road to full electrification<br />
for German automotive giant<br />
Volkswagen, clocking in as the<br />
company’s first vehicle built on a<br />
dedicated EV platform.<br />
Volkswagen put a tentative toe<br />
into the pure EV pool three years<br />
ago with an all-electric version of<br />
their iconic Golf hatch.<br />
However, it failed to spark a<br />
lot of interest and was hardly<br />
ground-breaking, sharing<br />
the same platform as internal<br />
combustion engine Golf variants.<br />
It was also held back by a<br />
mediocre real world EV range of<br />
around 200km, before needing<br />
to be tethered to an electric fast<br />
charger to get amped up again.<br />
The first version of the larger<br />
ID.4 mid-sized SUV debuted in<br />
Europe in 2021, with the iteration<br />
sold here launched in 2022.<br />
Covid and supply issues saw it<br />
make a belated arrival in this<br />
part of the world towards the end<br />
of 2023.<br />
There’s plenty going for the<br />
ID.4 in terms of space, technology,<br />
performance, and versatility.<br />
Motoring with Bob Nettleton<br />
For our market, it’s a two<br />
model show comprising the<br />
generously appointed PRO for<br />
$74,990 that’s under scrutiny<br />
in this road test, or the more<br />
lavishly appointed $79,990 PRO+.<br />
Both go the EV distance better<br />
than most, with a real world<br />
electric ranges of 519km.<br />
The ID.4 has the standard<br />
SUV body shape, with its<br />
sibling the ID.5 opting for<br />
a more sophisticated coupe<br />
like appearance. Personally, I<br />
preferred the clean-cut and less<br />
intricate styling of the ID.4.<br />
Getting behind the wheel of<br />
the ID.4 is a tad surreal with the<br />
vehicle sensing your presence<br />
and automatically starting when<br />
you sit in the driver’s seat using<br />
the smart key.<br />
The test car had heaps of heft<br />
from a beefy 77kWh battery<br />
and an electric motor producing<br />
150 kW of power and 310 Nm<br />
of torque. This is more than<br />
enough and with some to spare,<br />
to shift this decent sized SUV<br />
with genuine zip, cocooning<br />
you in silence, whether it’s a laid<br />
back around town excursion, or a<br />
lively open road dash.<br />
Throttle response is<br />
exhilarating and addictive.<br />
Standing start acceleration<br />
provided by the electrified system<br />
makes most conventional engines<br />
look like slouches.<br />
A single speed automatic is<br />
super efficient and its computer<br />
brain’s task of choosing what gear<br />
to select is about as easy as it gets.<br />
The ID.4’s exceptional brake<br />
energy recovery system is among<br />
the best in the EV class.<br />
An electric motor acts as<br />
a generator to make braking<br />
more efficient. Energy released<br />
during braking is converted<br />
into electricity and fed into the<br />
battery.<br />
Using the steering wheel<br />
paddles, you can adjust the<br />
amount of energy recuperation,<br />
and soak up a truly empowering<br />
experience.<br />
A roomy and welcoming cabin<br />
has an abundance of usable<br />
passenger and cargo space.<br />
Instruments and controls<br />
are designed with meticulous<br />
Germanic attention to detail, and<br />
are easy to read and use.<br />
There’s a 12-inch central touch<br />
display, multifunction steering<br />
wheel, push button start, heated<br />
front seats and steering wheel,<br />
Ratings out of 10: Performance 8; Handling 8; Build Quality<br />
8; Comfort 7; Passenger and Load Space 8; Value for<br />
money: 7; Safety – Five Star ANCAP rating.<br />
Overall points out of 10: 8<br />
with the latter adjustable for<br />
height and reach.<br />
A 30-colour ambient light<br />
palate lets you have a lot of fun<br />
around choosing the mood of the<br />
cabin, from bright and bouncy to<br />
laid back and chilled.<br />
Safety is paramount, and the<br />
ID.4 delivers in emphatic fashion<br />
with a coveted 5-Star ANCAP<br />
safety rating. This was earned<br />
through leading-edge safety<br />
tech such as front assist with<br />
predictive pedestrian and cyclist<br />
protection. side assist with rear<br />
traffic alert warns the driver of<br />
collisions with other vehicles,<br />
cyclists, pedestrians and static<br />
obstacles. New assistance systems<br />
are also at play to increase safety.<br />
For example when a door is<br />
opened, exit warning alerts you<br />
if another vehicle or a cyclist is<br />
approaching from behind. It does<br />
this with sound, and visually via<br />
a light signal on the inside of the<br />
exterior mirror housing<br />
All the excellent ride and road<br />
holding traits associated with<br />
Volkswagen are embodied in the<br />
ID.4.<br />
The suspension sees<br />
Macpherson struts fitted at the<br />
front and a multi link set-up<br />
at the rear. Both work their<br />
magic to deliver an immensely<br />
satisfying drive, that’s right out of<br />
the top drawer.<br />
Rear-wheel drive offers<br />
effective traction over most<br />
road surfaces from the good,<br />
the bad, and the down right<br />
hideous. It confidently moves<br />
over these with the electric drive<br />
system expertly transmitted<br />
power across a raft of different<br />
driving situations. Because of the<br />
intelligent electric motor design,<br />
maximum torque is available in<br />
almost an instant.<br />
The high-voltage battery fits<br />
snuggly into the floor of the<br />
ID.4 between the axles, with its<br />
low centre of gravity giving the<br />
vehicle exceptional agility and<br />
balance during brisk cornering.<br />
With its solid and compact<br />
European feel, the test ID.4, had<br />
a genuine and desirable point of<br />
difference over many of its peers.<br />
This is decidedly advantageous<br />
in one of the fastest growing and<br />
most competitive segments of<br />
our new car market.<br />
The test vehicle was subjected<br />
to an unrelenting assortment of<br />
bruising bumps and potholes,<br />
on a couple of lengthy drives on<br />
rural roads, that didn’t show a<br />
shred of country hospitality. I<br />
emerged from this experience<br />
with a deeper respect of the ride<br />
comfort and handling talents of<br />
this outstanding EV.<br />

Terrific T-bucket<br />
You’ve likely seen the eye-catching<br />
1923 Model T hot-rodded out as a<br />
T-bucket with the number plate “Katys<br />
1” over the last 3–4 years, joining local<br />
Christmas parades, including Leeston<br />
and Lincoln. Apart from owners Katy<br />
and Trev, one of its regular passengers—<br />
Koopa the dog—with his leather jacket,<br />
flying helmet, and goggles also catches<br />
everyone’s attention!<br />
In 1978, starting with the body,<br />
windscreen, and various pieces, Trev,<br />
with his boilermaker/welding experience,<br />
drew up the chassis on butcher paper<br />
on the lounge room floor. Constructed<br />
from tube steel, only two T-buckets in<br />
New Zealand are known to have this<br />
type of chassis rather than box steel. This<br />
project was a labour of love, taking many<br />
months to hand tool the chassis.<br />
The key was first turned in 1980,<br />
and the day was memorable as the<br />
house nearly burned down due to<br />
an unattended oven pot roast. In the<br />
excitement of the occasion and hosting<br />
drag racing legend Ron Colett, who built<br />
the engine, the pot roast was forgotten,<br />
and the pan caught fire.<br />
Over the years, Trev and Katy used it as<br />
a drag racing car with slicks, a roll cage,<br />
and differential gearing. Katy raced for<br />
5–6 years at Ruapuna in the Street Class<br />
and said she enjoyed “giving the young<br />
boy racers a bit of a fright” off the start.<br />
The car was tuned to get off the line fast,<br />
and Katy could hold her own, achieving<br />
a 12.2-second quarter mile. With family<br />
involvement in drag racing, their son<br />
Morgan did a 10.04-second quarter<br />
mile. In the late 1990s, the T-bucket<br />
had a complete motor rebuild and was<br />
returned to the road as a hot rod. It now<br />
features a Chev 305 engine, 3-speed auto,<br />
9” diff, and Hoosier Quick Time tyres on<br />
the back.<br />
Katy’s T-bucket stands out with its<br />
unique features. It boasts a vertical fuel<br />
tank, a creation of Trev’s, positioned<br />
behind the seat, allowing a spacious boot<br />
to accommodate all the essentials. Katy<br />
proudly states, “I can fit a full week’s<br />
groceries in that car.” This is not just a<br />
show vehicle; it serves as a daily driver.<br />
It also comes equipped with a full hood<br />
and curtains, stowed under the seats and<br />
ready to be pulled out when needed.<br />
The T-bucket has become a familiar<br />
sight at most Canterbury events, often<br />
seen cruising around the region and<br />
even used for daily commutes. Katy<br />
asserts, “It’s not some precious little<br />
vehicle hidden in a garage, and every<br />
stone chip on it has been earned.” Last<br />
year, it made a memorable appearance at<br />
the Whangamata Beach Hop. It’s been a<br />
car that the whole family has cherished,<br />
with the four children using it on special<br />
occasions, including taking their friends<br />
for a ride, picking up the grandkids from<br />
school, and even serving as a wedding<br />
car.<br />
It’s great to know that a car from 1923<br />
is still an everyday runabout, grabbing<br />
attention and causing a stir<br />

Advanced Upholstery<br />
Advanced Upholstery is owned and<br />
operated by husband and wife team, Brian<br />
and Sue Stockdale.<br />
Brian has 30+ years of experience as an<br />
Auto & Marine Upholsterer. Sue manages<br />
the office and showroom and will walk<br />
you through the process of transforming<br />
your ideas into reality. Once your job is<br />
booked in, she will order your materials<br />
ready for Brian to complete your job on<br />
schedule.<br />
Sue and Brian have noticed an increase<br />
in motorhomes and caravans in the last<br />
few years with owners wanting to put<br />
their own style into their home away from<br />
home. Whether it’s a small retro caravan,<br />
fifth-wheeler, or anything in between,<br />
Brian has the expertise to transform them<br />
into a comfortable and stylish living space.<br />
Whether you’re making a sitting area<br />
from scratch or recovering existing<br />
squabs, Advanced Upholstery has a great<br />
range of colours and patterned fabrics to<br />
choose from in their showroom. These<br />
include samples from Charles Parson and<br />
Warwick fabrics that are made to last. If<br />
you’re looking for a leather look, they<br />
have a range of leather and leatherette,<br />
as well as vinyl samples. They use a local<br />
Christchurch-based foam factory to meet<br />
your specific needs.<br />
If you also need help with seating<br />
frames, Brian can discuss different<br />
layouts and designs to customise your<br />
requirements.<br />
Complete your RV with a Cvana<br />
Awning. Advanced Upholstery has been<br />
the trusted agent for the South Island for<br />
over 10 years and has installed them on<br />
caravans, motorhomes, buses, and horse<br />
floats. Brian says he won’t sell or install<br />
any other brand as they are the strongest<br />
awning in New Zealand.<br />
Cvana Awnings are quick and easy to<br />
use - just pull out for instant shade with<br />
no outside struts to bang your head on.<br />
Enclosers or walls have replaced the older<br />
style awning making them incredibly fast<br />
to put up.<br />
At Advanced Upholstery, all enclosures<br />
are custom-built to your specifications.<br />
You can choose where you’d like to<br />
place your 3-way windows and doors<br />
and select from a wide range of plain<br />
or patterned canvas in their showroom.<br />
Plus, they stock a range of Cvana parts,<br />
ensuring that any repairs can be done<br />
quickly and easily.<br />
Advanced Upholstery can also<br />
spruce up your RV by recovering<br />
headboards, line walls, lay carpet,<br />
and recover captain chairs seats. They<br />
are open late night Thursdays until<br />
6:30pm, Saturdays 8:30am – 12pm, and<br />
Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays<br />
from 8:00am – 4:30pm at 3967 West<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 17 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 />

Sizing up a house design<br />
Those looking to build a new<br />
home are likely to tour show homes,<br />
checking features, noting the number<br />
of rooms and spaciousness of each,<br />
and making mental comparisons<br />
with their existing living quarters<br />
and what they perceive they will need<br />
in their home.<br />
There is no one ideal house size.<br />
Determining square metre size<br />
depends on one’s stage in the family<br />
life cycle and lifestyle. Young couples,<br />
older people downsizing and those<br />
living on their own may want smaller<br />
homes whereas families often seek<br />
space.<br />
Visiting show homes is a good way<br />
to get a spatial impression.<br />
Many building companies have<br />
more than one show home. This<br />
allows them to demonstrate the<br />
range of work they do, the quality of<br />
their workmanship, and to feature<br />
house designs they have on their<br />
books. These homes also provide<br />
examples of the features that can be<br />
incorporated into a new home.<br />
Show homes vary in size. Some are<br />
less than 200 square metres, others<br />
may be around 210m², 220m² or<br />
closer to 240m². A smaller home<br />
may not always feel less spacious.<br />
It depends on design and layout.<br />
A larger home may offer the<br />
opportunity for extra living area in<br />
a separate lounge, a laundry room<br />
inside the house rather than in the<br />
garage, wider entry and hallways, and<br />
larger rooms overall. Extra features<br />
such as walk-in pantries, ensuites and<br />
walk-in robes in the main bedroom,<br />
and additional storage cupboards can<br />
also be accommodated as the square<br />
metres increase.<br />
Building smaller will not<br />
necessarily equate to a significantly<br />
cheaper price. While building<br />
companies work on a square metre<br />
build figure, certain costs are still<br />
incurred such as for the drain laying,<br />
plumbing, kitchen, bathroom, toilet,<br />
and garage with the latter less costly<br />
to build. Adding extra bathrooms<br />
and the like will add more to the final<br />
price however, if the square metres<br />
are taken up in living and bedroom<br />
space or a wider hallway then the<br />
cost is proportionately less. Higher<br />
specified features will certainly<br />
increase the cost of the build.<br />
Making comparisons in both size<br />
and features when viewing show<br />
homes and house designs will help<br />
you determine the size of home to<br />
build. Weigh your needs and wants<br />
against any budgetary constraints,<br />
ensuring you have all the facts and<br />
a clear idea of costs before making<br />
your final decision.<br />
Selling your home?<br />
Potential buyers are likely to be<br />
living in your neighbourhood, it’s<br />
an area that they already love<br />
and are actively seeking to stay<br />
in. That’s why it makes sense to<br />
advertise your property in the<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> Property Guide.<br />

Double Glazing makes<br />
a home warmer<br />
Heat is retained in winter and kept out in<br />
summer while condensation and noise from<br />
outside are reduced.<br />
Modern double glazed windows and<br />
doors are more effective than their earlier<br />
counterparts and far superior to single<br />
glazing which allows heat to escape<br />
through the glass even when there are<br />
thermal curtains.<br />
Double glazing works in much the same<br />
way as a thermos flask where the silver<br />
surface on the inner glass lining reflects<br />
back the temperature of its contents.<br />
Heat is retained in winter and kept out in<br />
summer while condensation and noise<br />
from outside are reduced.<br />
Overseas, triple glazing is very popular<br />
while double glazing is more common in<br />
New Zealand. Both have a gap between<br />
the layers of glass resulting in less heat<br />
transference. The wider the gap, the more<br />
warmth is retained in the home with less<br />
chance of condensation.<br />
The technology around double and<br />
triple glazing has advanced significantly<br />
over the years leading to greater efficiency<br />
though not all products are equal with the<br />
insulation ratings varying between the<br />
various market options.<br />
Ratings depend on the components<br />
used and how the windows and doors<br />
are constructed. Factors are the type and<br />
emissivity of the glass and width between<br />
the panes. Products with an Energy Star<br />
have better thermal performance.<br />
Low-emissivity (low-e) glass, limits the<br />
amount of ultra violet and infrared light<br />
transmitted through the glass; the lower<br />
the level, the more reflective the glass<br />
reducing heat loss by twenty to thirty<br />
percent. The result is a warmer home in<br />
winter while the sun is reflected back<br />
keeping the heat out and the home cooler<br />
in summer.<br />
The minimum air space between each<br />
pane of glass in a double glazed window is<br />
usually ten to sixteen millimetres. Twelve<br />
millimetres is recommended for warmer<br />
parts of New Zealand while the optimum<br />
for Canterbury is from fifteen to seventeen<br />
millimetres.<br />
A step up is argon gas filled windows;<br />
an economic and natural gas. Argon gas<br />
is heavier than air so affords three to<br />
nine percent greater insulation than air<br />
filled double glazing and improved sound<br />
proofing. The window or door unit is<br />
completely sealed so perfectly safe and the<br />
gas used for residential windows is nontoxic.<br />
It is also used in retrofitted windows<br />
to increase energy efficiency especially<br />
where the gap between the glass panes<br />
needs to be less than usual to fit into an<br />
existing timber window frame.<br />
Double glazing is now standard in<br />
new homes with additional options like<br />
argon gas and low-e glass filled windows<br />
becoming increasingly popular due to the<br />
increased benefits they offer, especially as<br />
the additional funds invested are said to<br />
be quickly recouped by the energy savings<br />
made.<br />
If building or renovating, it is worth<br />
investigating the options on the market<br />
and budget permitting, choosing windows<br />
and doors that not only look good but<br />
also offer high performance in terms of<br />
heat retention, noise reduction, deflection<br />
of the effects of the sun and reduced<br />
condensation.<br />

Your guide to all things Real Estate<br />
in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District<br />
Some insights into<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong>’s rental market<br />
When choosing a property to rent in<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong>, several factors to include budget,<br />
location, type of property, number of<br />
bedrooms, and pet-friendliness. Taylor<br />
Staines from Real Property Management<br />
has provided some insights into the current<br />
situation in <strong>Selwyn</strong>.<br />
What is the current market doing<br />
in <strong>Selwyn</strong>?<br />
There have been increased properties<br />
available for rent in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> area.<br />
These properties rent within a reasonable<br />
timeframe, provided landlords are realistic<br />
about rates and prepared to meet the<br />
market.<br />
What are tenants looking for in a<br />
rental property?<br />
Generally, tenants want to feel warm and<br />
safe in their homes. They seek properties<br />
with good heating and window coverings<br />
to help with cooler weather and save<br />
money on heating, and adequate storage.<br />
Privacy from the street and neighbours<br />
is also important to tenants, so landlords<br />
should consider window coverings that<br />
offer privacy while allowing tenants to open<br />
them.<br />
What do owners look for in<br />
tenants?<br />
Fundamentally, landlords want tenants<br />
who will meet their obligations under<br />
the Residential Tenancies Act, keep the<br />
property clean and tidy, and pay their rent<br />
on time.<br />
What should tenants be aware of ?<br />
When selecting a property, tenants should<br />
avoid landlords unfamiliar with the various<br />
legislation a landlord must follow, or who<br />
asks for more information than legally<br />
required (where the tenant works, for<br />
example). If a landlord does not hold smoke<br />
alarm records or complete and provide a<br />
full healthy homes statement, the tenant<br />
should consider what other breaches the<br />
landlord may commit during the tenancy.<br />
Pet bonds have not yet been introduced<br />
into law, so a landlord should not request<br />
them. During a tenancy, tenants should be<br />
aware that breaches of the Act (damage,<br />
rent arrears, low cleaning standards, etc)<br />
may prevent them from securing another<br />
rental, particularly during a tight market.<br />
Unfortunately, there are scammers out<br />
there, and tenants should never hand over<br />
any money without viewing the property,<br />
particularly when a landlord is requesting<br />
this with some urgency.<br />
What should landlords be aware<br />
of ?<br />
Landlords should be aware of the myriad<br />
of regulations to follow now – this includes<br />
the Residential Tenancies Act, Privacy<br />
Act (specific rules about what a landlord<br />
can ask a tenant and at what stage of the<br />
application process they can ask), the<br />
Health and Safety at Work Act, the Building<br />
Code, healthy homes and smoke alarm<br />
regulations. Fines for failing to comply<br />
with smoke alarm regulations carry a max<br />
penalty of $7200, and WorkSafe breaches<br />
can reach hundreds of thousands. Many<br />
clients don’t realise their insurance relies on<br />
numerous landlord obligations, including<br />
documenting evidence of quarterly<br />
inspections. When selecting a tenant, a<br />
landlord should base their decisions on<br />
a selection of facts around rental history,<br />
ability to pay rent, credit and background<br />
checking, and finding the tenant that will<br />
be the best fit for their style of property.<br />
A happy tenant is likely to stay longer,<br />
maximising their investment.<br />
