THE 13TH HORORATA Highland
Games on Saturday was one of the
busiest ever, with 700 competitors, 140
stallholders, 23 clans and more than
10,000 visitors.
Chieftain Richard Lang, who has been
involved since its inception, said the
games have become a major highlight of
the Canterbury event calendar.
“I have witnessed the growth of the
Hororata Highland Games into what can
truly be described as a world-class festival
in every aspect.
“It was humbling to see the joy this
event brings to our community.”
The Oceania heavyweight
championship was fiercely contested
throughout the day and culminated in an
exhilarating showdown at the Hororata
stones, where athletes raced against the
clock to lift five stones weighing between
90-140kg onto barrels. • Turn to page 2

THE PUBLIC may not be able

The council is forecasting a 14.2
per cent average rates increase,
following this year’s 14.9 per cent.

Council staff have
recommended an
“engage and inform”
approach is taken instead.
This means the council would
tell people what it is planning to
do, but people would not have an
opportunity to give feedback.
Darfield Residents Association
chair Harvey Polglase was surprised
by the proposal.
“We’re basically being told
this is what is going to happen
take it or leave it . . . This is not
democracy,” he said.
Double digit rates rises are set
to continue until the 2027/28
financial year.

A HEALTH hub in Ellesmere is
one of the ideas to come out of a
feasibility study which looked at
health services in the area.
The study began in 2022
after the Friends of Ellesmere
Hospital received a grant from
the council. It finished in March
and was presented to council
last week.
Friends of Ellesmere Hospital
chair Murray Lemon said the
study’s purpose was to ensure
health services in the area were
retained and increased.
“The feasibility study was
looking at what could be
achieved with health in general
across Ellesmere.”
One of the potential outcomes
was establishing a health hub for
Ellesmere where specialists who
do not have permanent home
in the area come out and lease a
space for a day, Lemon said.
“There’s the opportunity for
perhaps one or two clinics,
one day a week for the likes of
audiology – private practices to
come out and utilise whatever
that new space may be.”
The idea was supported by
people spoken to by Selwyn
Times.
Leeston Pharmacy owner
Lynne Stevens said she liked the
idea as long as it could be sustained
over an extended period
of time.
She does not get many complaints
about the current health
services.
Stevens said people who have
lived in Leeston for some time
are used to travelling for health
services, but newer residents
might expect services in the
area.
Jan McKay, who runs a
motion class for the elderly in
Leeston, said it is better if people
can access the services they need
locally.
“Our clients enjoy us being
local,” McKay said.
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
Health hub could be an option
IDEA: A health hub for Ellesmere, like Rolleston’s (pictured) but on a smaller scale, is one
of the suggestions to come out of a feasibility study. ​
A similar health hub set up in
Rolleston has proved popular,
with the council providing the
building and leasing it to a range
of health providers.
The feasibility study cost
$80,720 and was paid for by the
better off funding the council
received from the previous
government as part of the three
waters policy.
Lemon said the friends-led
study was conducted by an
external consultant, and was
designed to be a starter for a
conversation the friends have
now passed back to council.
Apart from the hub, Lemon
said Ellesmere Hospital, which
has capacity for up to 10 patients,
could be better utilised.
“It would be great to see that
facility fully utilised. You’ve got
capacity there that is not necessarily
being used.”
The council has not made any
decisions about the hub.
Said council community
services and facilities executive
director Denise Kidd: “A
presentation will be made to the
council’s economic development
strategic priority subcommittee
in the new year to consider
the next steps and any further
council involvement.”

“As well as housing being provided
through this development,
we expect Government investment
into its responsibilities

community including education,

increases were already affecting
people with fixed incomes.
“I’ve heard of some people on
fixed incomes who are struggling
to afford the rates increases.
“There has been a 30 per cent
increase over two years. This is
not what the public wants.”
Rolleston Residents Association
chair Mark Alexander said
the association disagreed with
the council recommendation.
“Councils owe their community
a consultation,” the former
councillor said.
“The most important thing
the council does in the year is
consult its community on its
expenditure.”
At its October meeting, the
Rolleston Residents Association
joined the Darfield Residents
Association in asking the council
to review all of its projects, and
council assets which could be
sold to reduce rates.
Alexander said by not having
a consultation, the council appeared
to be making no effort to
reduce rates.

This year the council signed

with the next due in 2027. Annual
plans are used as checkpoints

More than 1500 people submitted

The council is legally required
to produce an annual plan, but
not required to consult the public
as long as there has not been any
significant or material change.
The report to councillors
said management has assessed
any changes and found none

The report states the main
impact of having a consultation
would be on redirecting

is a $27 million reduction in

“We always get the blame
when things go wrong, and subconsciously,
that puts pressure

she said.
However, Mason did not agree
with the Government’s idea of
building consents being handled
at a regional level instead of
individual councils doing their
own work, as happens now.
“In the case of Selwyn, our
team has the right size to have

Builders snapping up subdivision
land as interest from buyers surges
• By Daniel Alvey
ONE OF THE district’s biggest
home builders has returned
to the market, buying up land
in new subdivisions as buyer
interest increases.
Today Homes director Jon
Sanders said it has been buying
sections on a larger scale for the
first time in recent years.
“We’ve started buying up a lot
more in the last three-to -four
months than what we’ve probably
done in the last couple of years,
which have been a little more
conservative,”
Sanders said.

in Arbor Green in Rolleston and
Earlsbrook in Lincoln, two new
subdivisions in the district.
“They are definitely going to
be some major spots in the next
couple of years.”
Another builder, Oakridge
Homes, has continued to buy
land, but has seen a recent uptick
in enquiries from buyers.
“My purchases are pretty
consistent over the past couple of
years, we tend to buck the trend
a bit. A lot of the
other builders
got quiet, but
we’re on for our
biggest year ever,”
director James
Parker said.
Oakridge is on
track to be the
first builder to
complete a home in Arbor Green
before Christmas.
Chris Jones, the Bayleys
agent selling Arbor Green and
Earlsbrook, said interest in both
has been high.

He said about another 60
sections in Arbor Green will
be released this week, ahead of
schedule.
“They were originally slated to
be on the market ahead of next
winter, but the uptake has been
good so they’ve decided to pull
that stage forward.
“A lot of buyers that came to
buy are keeping their Farrington
home and building a new one,”
Jones said.
In Earlsbrook, more than 100
of the 178 sections in stage one
have been sold.
Jones said there had been
a mix of buyers in both
developments, but the highest
proportion of sales were going to
building companies.
Harcourts agent James
Twiss said builders returning
to the market was a good sign
everything was improving.
“That means they’re seeing
positives in the future. Because
they’re not silly, they tend to be
the guys thinking further down
the track,” Twiss said.
“The builders are often the first
to slow down because they are
more sensitive, but they are also
the first to come back because
they need to get
going.
“The outlook
is more positive.
We’ve got
stock, we’ve got
positive interest,
rates reductions
occurring, we’ve James
got value.”
Twiss
Twiss said a lot more buyers
are also opting for newer
property.
“In a traditional sense, a lot of
first home buyers would buy an
older place and do it up. These
days, people coming to us want a
new house and don’t necessarily
want to spend the time and
energy doing a house up.”
Jones said interest has risen
across the board after a “tough”
18 months.
“I think now there is a general
consensus things are going to
improve, so people are now
making that move.”

The town was 14th overall,

townships.
Rolleston was rated for its high
number of building consents,
ownership mix, population

only area in Selwyn on the list.
OneRoof and its data partner
Valocity used a range of measures
including an emphasis on
affordability, resilience over the

amenities, employment proximity,
property prices and population

Said Bayleys agent Chris Jones:
“You can see why people do it,
right? Everything you need is
within five minutes and they
can get a brand new house for
anywhere from $600,000 to $2

He said more companies setting
up in the district were having a
flow-on effect on sales.
“There are more and more
jobs right across the motorway.
Every time someone builds a new
commercial or industrial building,
there’s jobs on day one.”
Four Auckland suburbs made
up the top five with East Tamaki

Sanders said Rolleston’s growth
was having a flow-on effect to

Better education leads to
higher income in Selwyn
Waikirikiri Selwyn residents on average have
higher qualifications, hold more professional
and managerial roles and are earning more
money than ever before, according to the
latest data released from the 2023 Census.
Glentunnel Campground open just in time for summer
Council staff and contractors have been working
hard to get Glentunnel Campground back up and
running in time for the summer season.
This comes after the Council took back possession
of Glentunnel Holiday Park from the previous
leaseholders when their lease was cancelled in
July this year.
The campground will be opening from mid-
November, and the Council will be managing the
campground over the upcoming summer period,
with a caretaker on site.
This lush green campground is located next to the
Hororata Golf Course and the Selwyn River, and is
only a 45 minute drive from Christchurch.
To celebrate the opening of Glentunnel
Campground, the Council is offering free camping
this Canterbury Anniversary weekend for families
to try out the campground. If you haven’t made
any plans for the long weekend, this is a great
last-minute opportunity to brush off your summer
camping gear and make the most of the long
weekend in tranquil, rural Selwyn.
To camp at Glentunnel this long weekend,
email reserves@selwyn.govt.nz and
request a site number (see map online at
selwyn.govt.nz/glentunnelcampground).
Keen campers should send through their name,
address, and vehicle registration and will be
emailed a gate code for entry. Free camping
applies from Thursday 14 to Sunday 17 November
only and is subject to availability.
For any future bookings, campers can book online
from Monday 18 November.
Council have implemented a new pricing structure,
which is a reduction from previous years.
Executive Director of Infrastructure and Property,
Tim Mason says he hopes that the lowering of fees
will enable more families to come camping and
enjoy the Council’s reserve.
“Glentunnel Campground is the perfect spot to
take your whānau camping this summer, to take
some time out in nature and really experience
Selwyn’s wonderful backyard.”
“Continuing to learn new things and grow
ourselves is a characteristic I see in people all
over Selwyn. This continuing education leads to
more career options, higher incomes, and more
choices in life,” says Mayor Sam Broughton.
The latest detailed statistics from the 2023
Census shows that the proportion of Selwyn
residents holding a bachelor’s degree or Level
7 qualification grew by 2.3% since 2018,
following the nationwide trend of a greater
proportion of the population gaining post
school qualification.
The latest Census data shows the percentage
of Selwyn residents over 15 years of age with
no formal qualifications after high school
decreased from 47% to 44%, while the
amount of school leavers with no high school
qualifications also dropped to under 17% from
22% a decade earlier and less than the national
average of 20%.
“The increase in qualifications is likely due to
families moving into the district with tertiary
qualifications, as well more locals staying in
school or seeking further opportunities to
educate and upskill themselves, which is great
for their future and for the future of our district,”
says Broughton.

Mayor Broughton says that the most pleasing

68.9% of employed residents of Selwyn working
within Selwyn in 2023, an increase of 5.3%
since 2018.
“An increasing number of businesses in the
district allow our people to live, work and play
in Selwyn, creating more diverse and lively
town centres during the week and reducing
the proportion of residents commuting to
Christchurch or other areas outside the
district for work,” says Broughton.

manager Jack Swannell.
“The programme empowers
tamariki (children) aged seven
to 14 to engage in a range of
exciting and innovative learning
experiences that take place
outside of the classroom.”
Said Helen Schulte, acting
principal at Tai Tapu School:
“Bringing Children’s University
to our school has been an
incredible opportunity to
unlock potential in every child.
“It’s about sparking curiosity
beyond the classroom walls,
encouraging them to explore,
learn, and build confidence in
new areas,” she said.
“Through Children’s
University, our students don’t
just gain skills, they find a love
for learning that sticks with
them for life. Watching them
discover, achieve, and take pride
in their accomplishments is
what makes this program truly
invaluable.”
TMMCU offers a range of
opportunities, including access
to 122 learning destinations
(community organisations that
provide learning experiences
for pupils during holidays and
weekends), 500-plus online
portal activities, in-school
experiences, and even a campus
experience day held at UC or

to experience the university

The success of the programme
is evident in its growth. In 2019,
192 students from seven schools

In 2024, this has grown to more

Huts residents
pleased with
council efforts
• By Daniel Alvey
UPPER SELWYN Huts residents
are on track to have their future
decided by June.
Residents of the
settlement and the council
have been engaged in
extensive consultation
since July when the
council agreed to hit pause
on a process which would
see residents given a 15-
year sunset lease.
As part of the process
the council hired
facilitator Chris Mene and
consultant Monique Eade to work
with residents on developing a
new deed of licence.
Last week, Eade told councillors
Graham
Evans
the process was on track to be
completed by the June 2025 date
set by council.
Selwyn Hut Owners Association
chair Graham Evans was pleased
with the work the council
was putting in.
“What they’re doing I
believe, is the fairest way
they can handle it,” he said.
Evans said there are
some residents “in denial”
and are not engaging in the
process.
As part of the
consultation process,
the council has held two
community meetings, and four
drop-in sessions. A further two
community meetings will be
held before the end of the year.
END NEAR: The council consultation process to decide the
future of Upper Selwyn Huts will be completed by June.
Selwyn’s Diwali Festival lit up Lincoln Domain on Saturday night, as several thousand
people enjoyed the traditional ‘Festival of Lights’ which featured a record number of
performers. “We enjoy sharing our culture with the wider community, and Selwyn
continues to be very supportive of this festival,” said organiser Archna Tandon, chair
of the Canterbury Indian Women Group Trust. “We are incredibly grateful for this
beautiful community and cannot wait to celebrate with you again next year.’’

Flyover proposal sparks strong debate
I WAS INTERESTED to see
Jens Christensen’s proposal for
the alternative flyover in Selwyn
Times.
This is a similar concept to
what I understand others put
forward during the consultation
period to move the intersection
to the south of Dunns Crossing
Rd. The purpose being, there is
much more space to design an
interchange that can be upgraded
to have greater traffic capacity
in the future, to avoid creating
significant traffic flows past
West Rolleston School, directly
connecting to Lowes Rd which is
planned to be the main arterial
route through Rolleston.
Jens’ proposal looks good, but
NZTA is probably right that there
isn’t sufficient traffic volumes to
justify it (yet). However, with the
proposed and actual growth of
Rolleston, it would be extremely
short-sighted of NZTA not to
allow space for this interchange
to be constructed before the
neighbouring land is developed.
Traffic volumes at the
intersection will increase
significantly in the coming
five years due to the volume of
housing being built on the southwest
side of Rolleston. Residents
on the western side of Rolleston
will use the intersection as their
main access to and from the
motorway, rather than through
the middle of the town centre or
via the Weedons interchange five
kilometres away.
To allow for future capacity
and reduce costs at this point in
time, NZTA should create two
roundabouts side-by-side for
each traffic direction (as shown
on Jens’ proposal) and similar
to the Curletts Rd and Southern
Motorway (intersection).
- Darren Hocken
Why don’t they copy the
airport flyover? Plans done and
certified. The cost will keep
increasing the more they muck
about.
- Trevor Hayward
I think “alternative” is the right
word for Christensen’s proposal.
ALTERNATIVE: Jens Christensen’s plan for a different flyover in Rolleston, similar to the Memorial
Ave Gateway bridge, has drawn a mixed reaction from Selwyn Times readers.
The idea would see the demolition
of more than 20 residential
homes on Joy Pl, Fountain Pl,
and Dunns Crossing Rd, not to
mention making the surrounding
properties unliveable.
- Sam Millar
Jens Christensen responds:
The ‘alternative’ design
submitted with the proposal
to take heavy traffic off Dunns
Crossing Rd is to create a
SH1 flyover as per the end of
Memorial Ave (in Christchurch).
The flyover should not take
any homes from any of the
correspondent’s named three
streets and, if in fact it did
threaten any existing homes, the
flyover could be shifted slightly
further south.
The NZTA-proposed two lane
roundabout will necessitate
the purchase of existing houses
anyway. I am however saddened
that NZTA’s principal project
manager (Selwyn Times October
30) dismisses my request for
Selwyn District Council and
NZTA to hit pause, lift the
helicopter and reassess the
roundabout proposal in light
of the approval of some 3500
new sections affecting Dunns
Crossing Rd.
He might also advise what
the proposed traffic volumes on
this stretch of SH1 will be when
compared to the part of SH1 that
passes over Memorial Ave.
Having read with interest
the alternative flyover article as
proposed by Jens Christensen, it
comes as no surprise to read the
dismissive response from Geoff
Griffiths of NZTA.
As with all their projects, their
minds are firmly set before the
designs go out to consultation.
At best there is some peripheral
tinkering, for the most part they
hide behind their unimaginative,
inflexible, hidebound standards
The current design would seem
intent on dramatically increasing
traffic flow into Rolleston from
the south via residential streets
such as Granite Dr, Burnham
School Rd, Brookside Rd and
Lowes Rd, including past West
Rolleston School.
Dunns Crossing Rd was never
designed for this sort of traffic
level. For southbound traffic in
particular, there is still a section
between Lowes Rd and Monarch
Dr that was built as a ‘minor
local road’, the council have
surreptitiously re-designated
the road as an ‘arterial collector’
without bringing the whole
road up to the required width
or safety standard for the traffic
volumes it is carrying.
With no off-ramp in the centre
of Rolleston to allow traffic an
alternative exit, anyone not
wanting to drive down these
streets will be forced to carry on
until they are well past the town.
With the eventual Carter
Group development happening,
the traffic attempting to
get on to SH1 to access the
motorway as the fastest route
into Christchurch will cause
bottlenecks and traffic jams.
Again, something the NZTA
can’t envisage. One only has to
drive the roads at current traffic
levels to see how it will be in the
future.
They use the term ‘foreseeable
future’, yet their designs don’t
seem to be capable of working in
the present.
- Chris Barrett
Lincoln plan
Yes to speed reduction
from Kildare Tce to West Belt
regarding the Lincoln town
centre plan (Selwyn Times
November 6).
I have always wondered why
North Belt can’t be the main
cycle route, with some traffic
management by the Catholic
church to enable cycles to cross
over Gerald St there. Then,
make a cycle lane from there to
the university.
Yes, some extra parking
areas would be helpful – need
to be both sides of Gerald St,
to enable less-mobile people to
access both sides for Lincoln
Pharmacy and/or the Post Shop.
I wouldn’t agree to overspending
to make fancy paving
on extra-wide footpaths. Convenience
is still the priority, and
economy!
- Miriam Pascoe
Driving through Prebbleton
at 40km/h is ridiculous so I
can’t imagine the main street
in Lincoln reduced to a 30km/h
speed limit.
I can just imagine a tradie
going to work at 5.30 in the
morning and having to go
30km/h . . . why?
It’s also my understanding
the Government is bringing all
those streets with reduced speed
limits back to original, so how
does this work here?

Foulkes in form
• By Sam Coughlan
DARFIELD’S ZAK Foulkes
has excelled for the Black Caps
during their two-match T20
international series in Sri Lanka.
Foulkes earned a recall for the
team in the absence of a number
of regulars, but pushed his case
for more regular inclusion after a
spell of form with bat and ball.
The 22-year-old starred in the
first match on Sunday (NZT),
top-scoring with the bat with 27
not out, before taking three wickets
with the ball, but was unable
to prevent Sri Lanka from claiming
a four-wicket victory. He
scored just six and took a wicket
in the second match, which was
won by the Black Caps.
Foulkes was one of only five
players to take four or more wickets
in the series, and his batting
strike-rate of 150 was by far the
highest on both sides.
The Black Caps defended 108 in
the second match by five runs – the
lowest total they had ever defended
in T20s – with Lockie Ferguson
taking a hat-trick.

Tai Tapu have beaten Hororata Black in an exciting final
at the Canterbury central golf masters championship. The
final, which was played at the Tai Tapu Golf Club, came
down to the last hole, the home side eventually coming
away with a 5½-3½ win. Tai Tapu’s team (from left) was

WEEDONS AND Leeston-
Lincoln-Southbridge have
claimed victories to boost their
Canterbury Country one-day
competition standings.
Weedons held on for victory
over league leaders Ohoka,
successfully defending 221 to win
by 27 runs.
Player-coach Jeremy Benton
starred, scoring 53 not out
and taking four wickets, with
contributions from Akhil Pant
(41), Harry Passenger (35), and
Tom Cross (three for 29).
Leeston bowled out Selwyn
rivals Darfield for just 89 and
chased it down quickly, Harry
Mowat (33 not out) and Harry
Chamberlain (29 not out) getting
the job done.
Darfield were missing standout
batter and wicket-keeper
Jesse Frew, who has been called
up to make his Canterbury
debut against Northern Districts
in the Plunket Shield this
week.
Sefton and Cheviot had wins
over Oxford and Kaiapoi respectively.
The win sees Weedons in third,
level on points with second-placed
Sefton – who have a better net
run-rate – and just one point
behind Ohoka, with a game in
hand.
There is no action this
Saturday, the competition taking
a break for show weekend.

ELLESMERE COLLEGE student
Liam Stoliker will be heading to
Australia with the New Zealand
under-18 baseball team in two
weeks’ time.
He has been selected in the
squad for the world cup qualifiers
against Australia – a five-match
series at Sydney’s Blacktown
International Sports Park from
December 5-8.
Before then, the team will have
two training camps at the Gold
Coast and Sydney, starting on
November 26.
The winner of the series will
compete at the U-18 Baseball
World Cup in Japan next year.
Stoliker, who was a part of
the Selwyn Brave side that won
the Canterbury Baseball Open
League in March, said he hadn’t
been sure if he’d done enough
to be selected after a camp in
Hamilton in July – but selection
meant a lot.
“I’m so excited. I wasn’t sure
if I was in or if I wasn’t, but I felt
confident with how I performed
out there.
“It means so much. I wouldn’t
have thought of having this
experience three years ago, but
here I am.”
The year 12 student won the
school’s knops dux ludorum
award for excellence in sport.
He’s hoping his performance

at the World Cup qualifiers –
and potentially the World Cup
– could put him in the eyes of
United States college scouts.
“I hope to take baseball as far
as I can, that I get as far as college
or professional if I could.
“(Hopefully) in two years, I’ll
be in the US, working towards it
still.”
He describes himself as a utility
player – able to bat, pitch and
catch – but his favourite role is
catcher.
“I’ve grown more into catching,
I’ve done a lot of work in that
position and it’s kind of stuck
with me a lot more.
“I’m not too sure just yet what
I’ll be doing in Australia.
“But I’m looking forward to it
so much, I can’t wait.”

won their schools a bag

measure.
Ellesmere College’s
Andrew Morton, Sheffield
School’s Jayde
Mayberry and Darfield
High’s Pip Deans were
nominated by their students
for the prize from
Westpac and the iSport
Foundation. They were
among 40 recipients
nationwide.
Deans said while she
was happy to win, she
was in two minds about
the honour.
“It’s really awesome,
but I just love doing my
job really, and that’s part
of it. If you get recognised
for doing it, then
that’s cool.”

“It doesn’t ever happen
without a good
team around you. It
might be that I can do
these initiatives and
be proactive for sport
in our school, but it
happens because other
people are picking up
other areas and it’s a
team environment,” she
said.
Morton said it was
special to win – and that
the bag of balls would
go to a good, student-led
cause.
“Our senior leaders at
Ellesmere College have
come up with a sports
shed initiative that allows
students to borrow
sports gear at lunchtime
and interval.
“It has become very
popular at our school
and gets the students
out moving and playing
sports on their breaks,
so I will donate the
extra gear there,” he
said.

John Bertrand Collectables
Buying in Selwyn &
Christchurch Next Week
Once again, the gold and collectables buyers from
Wellington company John Bertrand Collectables are
visiting Selwyn and Christchurch next week. Mr Tony
Grant from the company says, “If you are downsizing
or wanting to dispose of things because they no
longer serve any purpose to you or your family bring
them in”. “Next week will be a great opportunity
to have any items you want to sell assessed by our
buyers” said Mr Grant. Particularly wanted are Gold
and Silver (in any of its forms) and Collectables
such as Coins, Banknotes, War
Medals, Old Wind-up Watches
and other interesting Small
Collectables.
“We are keen buyers,
especially of the items in the
list below” said Mr Grant.
“Nothing is too small for our
consideration. We are just
as happy buying 1 item as
we are buying 1,000 items”
he said. The buyers will be
in Selwyn and Christchurch
next week (see details below).
As Tony Grant points out “If
you are in doubt about any
items you may wish to sell,
bring them along for an instant
appraisal.”

of New Zealand Incorporated
Director and Buyer
John Bertrand (Collectables) Ltd
Author of the John Bertrand
NZ Coin & Banknote Catalogue
Gold & Silver
At Near Record
Prices
D uring these
uncertain times
we have seen a sharp
increase in the price of
precious metals. The gold price in New
Zealand is at near record levels so gather
up all your unwanted items and take them
along to the buyers. Tony Grant says “We can
buy old gold items in all forms, including
Jewellery (Rings, Chains, Brooches etc),
Coins (Sovereigns and the like), Alluvial
(River Gold), virtually anything, even
Gold Teeth! We also need all Sterling Silver
including Cups, Tea Services, Cutlery and
Old Coins” he said.
Some Big Dollars in Early Banknotes
arly New Zealand Banknotes dated
Ebefore 1932 are currently fetching
big money! This is according to Mr Tony
Grant, author of the John Bertrand New
Zealand Coin & Banknote Catalogue. Mr
Grant is in Selwyn and Christchurch next
week on a buying trip for John Bertrand
(Collectables) Ltd and would be very
keen to see any of these issues. “We will
pay at least $300 for any undamaged

Interesting Small
Collectables Wanted
he buyers from John Bertrand
(Collectables) Ltd, visiting Selwyn
and Christchurch next week, are happy to
look at any interesting items, for example
vintage pocket and wristwatches such
as Rolex, Men’s Omega, Breitling and
gold watches etc. Also wanted, pre 1950’s
picture postcards, Maori and Pacific
artefacts, old fountain pens and other
small antique or historical items.
“If you have something unusual
which you would like to sell, please
bring it into one of our venues, we would
like the chance to at least have a look at it”
said Tony Grant, buyer for the Company.
“We will consider anything which may be
of interest to a collector” he said.
from a New Zealand trading bank dated
1932 or before.
Denominations of five pounds and
higher would be worth from $700. “Any
banknote dated prior to 1900 would be
worth at least $1000” said Mr Grant.
Also purchased are any Reserve Bank
of New Zealand pre-decimal issues,
especially 50 Pound notes. All overseas
banknotes are also wanted, especially
early Pacific Island issues.

Collectors Need War Medals
urrently, throughout NZ and the world there is a big
demand by collectors for war medals. These cover all
wars right through from the New Zealand Land Wars and the
Boer War, to the First and Second World Wars and the later
Korea and Vietnam conflicts. New Zealand Servicemen and
Women first served overseas in the Boer War in South Africa
around 1900 and the war medals awarded for this service are
needed by the buyers, as are any other Medals from early
New Zealand and the New Zealand Wars.
General service medals from both the First and Second
World Wars will also be purchased, but as can be imagined
these were awarded in fairly large numbers. “If a group
of medals has any special award for bravery such as the
Military Medal, Military or Flying Cross or other medals for
Distinguished Conduct or Meritorious Service, these can
add great value to a group” stated Mr Tony Grant, buyer
for John Bertrand (Collectables) Ltd. “Many families have
old medals, some dating back to early Imperial days, that
they are not sure what to do with. These are better off in
the hands of collectors who will look after them. We will be
happy to look at any war medals whatsoever, just bring them
in to venues” he said.
Old Coins Can Toss Up a Rarity
o you have a bunch of old coins sitting around in your
drawers and cupboards? You just never know what
rarities may be lurking there. The advice from Tony Grant
from John Bertrand (Collectables) Limited is to “bring
them in and let us have a look”. “No need to sort anything
out just bring them in ‘as is’ and please don’t clean them!
We can go through coin accumulations and collections
fairly quickly” he said. The buyers are particularly keen
to buy pre 1946 New Zealand Silver Coins for at least 20
times their face value (more for quantity). “In any event
we will buy All Coins,” said Mr Grant.

Choosing to shop locally
Why should you shop locally? Opting
for local businesses offers various
benefits that can enhance your shopping
experience. As Rolleston grows with
its diverse population and needs, so do
the numerous eateries, services, and
businesses. Shopping locally allows you to
support the local economy, foster a sense
of community, and potentially save time
and money.
Shopping locally in Rolleston helps
to sustain the local economy. When
you spend money at local businesses, it
circulates within the community, which
promotes economic growth and stability.
New job opportunities are generated by
shopping and using local services, local
business owners receive support, and
money remains within the area, benefiting
the residents.
Rolleston is home to a variety of small
businesses offering unique products and
services. These businesses include health
and beauty, cleaning, dog grooming,
cafes, retail, landscaping, fitness centres,
hair salons, and automotive repair and
maintenance. Your support for these
businesses significantly shapes Rolleston’s
character and community. Local business
owners often form close relationships with
customers, providing a level of service and
familiarity that is not matched by stores
outside of the area or larger chain stores.
These local businesses are run by people
who are invested in the community’s wellbeing.
Buying locally often means you are
also supporting neighbours and members
of the Rolleston community.
Numerous eateries in Rolleston provide
a wide range of dining options. Many
of these local restaurants source their
ingredients from nearby farms and
producers to create fresh, high-quality
meals. The local dining scene features
cafes and restaurants offering Thai,
Indian, Chinese, Mediterranean, Mexican,
Italian, Japanese, family-dining takeaways,
pub-style cuisine, and others. By dining
locally, you not only enjoy diverse and
delicious food but also experience cuisine
from various cultures while supporting
the local food industry.
Shopping locally also helps reduce
environmental impact, as many stores
are within walking distance or a short
drive away. By minimising the need to
use a motor vehicle, you can save money
on fuel, electricity charges, and car
maintenance. Shopping close to home
offers both convenience and reliability,
saving you time.
As Rolleston businesses continue to
expand, they bring numerous benefits,
from economic growth to a wider array
of products and services within easy
reach. With ongoing support, the number
of eateries, services, and businesses in
Rolleston will increase, offering more
choices and meeting the needs of this
thriving community.

Vegetables
As the days get longer and soil
temperatures rise, established
plants and young seedlings grow
faster, while seed sown now is
almost certain to germinate.
French and butter beans can be
sown in the open. Place the seeds
about 15cm apart and 5cm deep.
Runner beans for growing up
trellises or on frames can also be
sown now in a sunny spot. .
Smaller cucumber varieties
can be sown in rich soil but, in
cooler areas, these and other
cucurbits, including zucchini
(courgettes), are better grown
from plants bought from a
garden centre.
Main-crop beetroot can be
sown, to mature in autumn and
stand over winter. Sow beetroot
seed about 1cm deep. A beetroot
seed is actually a cluster of
three or four seeds, so when the
seedlings appear, thin them to
15cm apart. The thinnings can
be used to fill gaps in rows.

Hybrid S-Cross a mild, not wild drive
THESE DAYS, the Suzuki
S-Cross compact SUV is
charting a cleaner, greener and
more fuel-efficient course as a
hybrid only model.
Almost two years ago, a
heavily revised version of the
S-Cross arrived here. Suzuki
did a fine job of reinventing and
modernising a model that has
been part of their SUV catalogue
for more than a decade.
A major overhaul of the
styling ensured a convincing
start in getting this model back
on the radar of compact SUV
buyers.
There was decent dash of
sophistication added to the
visual mix with a raised bonnet,
and glossy piano-black grille.
While the appearance of the
previous model and the current
one are vastly different, beneath
the surface little has changed,
with the chassis and drivetrains
carried over.
A big effort and plenty of
attention to detail has gone into
ensuring this vehicle makes
a strong statement with autolevelling
LED headlights with a
light sensing function, turning
on in low-light situations.
Motoring with Bob Nettleton
While the current S-Cross sits
on much the same footprint as
its predecessor, Suzuki have been
both resourceful and smart in
conjuring up some small, but
worthwhile, increases in both
passenger and load space.
Against the tape measure these
are modest at best, but enough
to push the space envelope far
enough for this generation of
S-Cross to take the gong as the
largest vehicle in the Suzuki
lineup.
Engineered in Japan and built
in Hungary, the S-Cross, in its
pre hybrid days, was offered in
price leading JX trim and the
more up-market JLX grade.
Now with both feet firmly
planted in the hybrid camp,
Suzuki’s range has been trimmed
to back to a couple of generously
appointed JLX variants – a
$43,990 2WD model with
another $3k for the AWD version
provided for this road test.
The AWD model features
Suzuki’s proven, and rather
good, electronically controlled
AllGrip Select four-wheel-drive
system.
There are four selectable
driving modes available which
are activated by an easy-to-use
push-and-turn dial.
After a short time behind the
wheel of the test vehicle, I soon
realised Auto mode provided the
best all-round performance for
every day driving. It prioritises
fuel economy and switches
to AWD when it senses any
loss of traction. Sport mode
adjusts the throttle and torque
characteristics to unleash the
engine’s more playful and fun
side.
Everything goes to script
under the bonnet, with the
S-Cross inheriting the same
hybrid system Suzuki developed
for its smaller sibling, the Vitara.
This smartly engineered,
compact hybrid system
comprises an integrated starter
generator, engine control
module, and an auxiliary
power module using a lithiumion
battery and sensors plus a
DC/DC (48V to 12V) power
converter.
At the beating heart of this
power is a 48V self-charging
mild hybrid system that works
in unison with Suzuki’s nippy
1.4-litre direct injection turbo
engine.
In its hybridised form, the
system’s combined output is 95kW
of power at 5500rpm and 235Nm
of torque ready to apply its lowspeed
heft at 2000-3000rpm.
Automatic stop/starting saves
Ratings out of 10: Performance 7; Handling 7; Build Quality 6;
Comfort 6; Passenger and Load Space 6; Value for money: 7;
Styling 6; Safety – Five star ANCAP crash rating.
Overall points out of 10: 7
fuel while the lithium-ion battery
powers all the electrics.
In spite of the improvement
in fuel consumption and
emission levels, the hybrid turbo
is energetic with good lowspeed
pulling power tuned to
flourish over our hilly roads and
debilitating climbs.
It’s smoother and more refined
than the now-departed 1.4-litre
turbo motor on its own. A quick,
accurate and sweet shifting sixspeed
automatic is an agreeable
gear-changing companion for
this hybrid power plant.
The front seats offer a generous
929mm of legroom and 814mm
in the rear – excellent for a
smallish SUV.
Up to 440 litres of boot space
is available with the 60/40 split
folding rear seats upright – very
impressive and sure to take a
load off owners’ minds. You can
set the rear seats at two different
angles to increase load space
while the luggage board lowers
into the floor to provide even
more room for transporting
items.
The test vehicle has a view
camera system with four
cameras linked to a nine-inch
display, the largest ever factory
head unit offered on a Suzuki
passenger car. This provides
a 360-degree view and 3D
opening view for you to check
the vehicle’s surroundings, while
the fascia runs Android Auto,
wireless Apple CarPlay, and voice
recognition.
A host of ever-vigilant safety
tech is constantly working
to keep you safe, including
autonomous emergency
braking. This assesses the risk
of a collision with an obstacle
in front of the vehicle, while
forward collision mitigation
brake assist increases the driver’s
braking force and automatic
braking.
The rear cross traffic alert
system helps you avoid a ding in
the vehicle when reversing out
of angled carparks with limited
vision.
When reversing at speeds of
up to 8km/h, a couple of rearmounted
radar sensors alert you to
hard-to-see vehicles approaching
on either side. This is in the
form of a visual alert on the car’s
multi-information display plus a
warning sound.
The suspension is fairly low-tech
but does a good job and seems well
set up to see off most challenges
served up on our demanding
roads, terrain, and weather.
It is sufficiently compliant with
solid bump-absorbing qualities to
take care of broken and uneven
road surfaces, with minimal
suspension noise. Suzuki has
played it safe with the suspension
tune, opting for comfort over
outright road holding.
The handling is competent,
and well balanced. At higher
speeds over undulating roads, or
when pushed hard through more
exacting corners, the suspension
sheds some of its composure.
However, you soon learn this
isn’t the vehicle’s happy place,
and adjust your driving tempo
accordingly.

Receptionist
Are you highly motivated, personable and enjoy working with teenagers? Can you
effectively prioritise and facilitate requests with a smile but also be able to pay attention
to the little things to ensure nothing falls through the cracks? Great, then this might be the
role for you.
Due to growth, Rolleston College seeks a full-time administration superstar to join our
fabulous team here at the College commencing Term 1, 2025. Your ability to work as part of
a team with high integrity, confidentiality and honesty are essential. While experience in a
secondary school setting and knowledge of KAMAR is preferable, it is not essential for the
right candidate as training and support will be provided.
Our Administrator/Receptionist roles are varied. However, your skills will be crucial in

role will require you to work ten additional days (approx two days, each term break) to
help with back-to-school, end-of-the-year, post and preterm preparations. Non-term hours
may require some flexibility but can be negotiated in advance, depending on school
commitments.

Landscaping makes a world of difference
to your home and street appeal
Building in a housing subdivision
invariably means the developer will require
you to submit a landscaping plan along with
your house design, to be approved before
building commences.
Just as important as considering the
features for your home will be your outdoor
setting. Indoor/outdoor requirements
will influence your choice of house design
and how it will be sited on the section for
a sunny yard and best protection from
prevailing winds like the easterly. Having a
second courtyard area offering shelter from
the north-west wind is also an advantage in
Selwyn.
A well thought out landscape plan will
also incorporate off-street parking space
for vehicles while ensuring your home is
attractive from the street. You might want to
factor in parking for a caravan, motorhome
or extra vehicles as well as a turning circle
for safe turning and exiting your property (a
legal requirement for back sections).
The developer will only want
to see a landscape outline
for the part of your property
which will be on view from
the street.
When choosing the design for your home,
address where you want hard surfaces
(driveway, paths and patios), lawn, play
areas and garden beds so it is suitably
positioned on the section.
Even if not all hard surface areas are
completed at the end of the build, knowing
where they will be located will be helpful.
If your build is nearing completion,
autumn is a good time to sow grass as the
cooler morning and evening dew assists
growth. As winter descends on us, ready
lawn is a better option at least at the front of
the section, which the developer will require
to be completed before moving in. Your
backyard could be left until spring (another
good time for seeding a lawn) if you are
happy to put up with the mud over winter.
When selling an existing
home, putting effort into
landscaping your yard could
add value by presenting a
good first impression and
attracting buyers.
Don’t forget the bees
Plant trees, shrubs and flowers
that attract bees to your property.
Bees are on the decline and new
housing developments add to
the loss of habit for pollinators as
more and more green farmland
is converted into dense housing.
However, home owners in new
subdivisions can turn this around
by creating bee-friendly gardens
and encouraging developers to
plant bee-friendly greenspaces.
You need not rip out overgrown
established plants. Selective culling and
pruning can make a huge difference to the
look of a garden. Avoid hacking everything
down low. Instead take out sprawling
branches and thin shoots, leaving a solid
trunk; planting flowers like lobelia, primula,
pansies and polyanthus underneath for
impact. Add a layer of mulch and spray the
lawn for weeds then follow up with lawn
fertiliser to give a lush green look.
The first thing people see is your home’s
exterior – the cladding, colours and
landscaping. Putting effort into these
features has the potential to add value to
new and existing properties.
Create a plant-smart garden
Planning and choosing the right plants for

Keep your cool this summer
As the temperature rises and we enjoy those
hot summer sunny days, there are natural ways to
keep the temperature down in your home without
resorting to an air conditioner. Not only can you
save money, but you can also help protect the
environment.
• Closing your blinds is one of the most
straightforward solutions. Closed blinds will
reflect heat radiating from the sun’s rays through
the windows. However, you can still allow indirect
sunlight by opening the curtains on windows
that don’t face the sun directly. Another option
is to use blackout curtains to block sunlight
and insulate the room. At the same time, solar
screens and window tints can prevent specific
wavelengths of radiation from penetrating and
reduce heat in a room.
• Using nature’s own airflow is another effective
method to keep cool in the heat. For example,
open windows can provide a cross breeze that
will direct hot air away. However, keeping the
windows shut and using ceiling or floor-based
fans may be the answer when our warm northwest
winds are blowing. These appliances require
less power to operate than air conditioning and
create an artificial breeze. For warmer weather,
many ceiling fans have a switch that changes the
direction to a counterclockwise spin which pulls
warmer air up towards the ceiling and forces
cooler air down. Placing fans exactly where you
need them also has its advantages. One trick is to
put ice or cool water in front of a fan to allow the
air to pass over the ice, become chilled and then
circulate cold air around the room.
• Close doors to unused rooms during the day.
This prevents cool air from moving into the rest
of the house, but lets air flow naturally throughout
the house at night.
• Change your lighting to LED. This simple
step will help cool a room, as incandescent lights
produce heat and waste energy.
• Shield your home by using awnings or shade
sails. Consider planting trees near windows as this
will help reduce the heat entering your home.
• Kiwis love cooking on BBQs, and this is
a great way to reduce heat build-up in your
home. Using your oven or stove in the summer
will make your house hotter, so perhaps use a
pressure cooker or a microwave.
Plan to use large appliances like
ovens, dishwashers, and washing
machines in the cooler evening
hours.
• During the day choose loose
and comfortable clothing and
drink chilled drinks to keep you
hydrated and cool. You can also
lessen the impact of warm nights
by changing your sheets to cotton
or bamboo.
Summer doesn’t have to mean
relying on your air conditioning
when there are several natural and
easy ways to be cool in your home,
saving you money and being
environmentally friendly.

Building a home? Start with a wish list
Building a home is one of the most exciting and
rewarding projects but can also be stressful with thousands
of decisions to make during the build process.
Step one should be working out what the priorities are
for everyone who is going to live in the new home and
create a wish list. There are several ways to do this so
everyone feels involved. Start with a list of every room,
including outdoor areas, and then talk through what the
priorities would be in that area.
If you both want an island or a peninsula in the kitchen
also think about the function - to add extra work space,
provide storage or a breakfast bar? This will influence the
size and shape and whether you need to add electrical
outlets.
Within your wish lists there will be items that are not
necessarily room-based but part of the whole home, for
example, storage, heating, electrical outlets or lighting.
Is there a way for storage to take up less space and make
it more accessible? Options include a walk-in linen closet,
walk in wardrobes, a full height broom cupboard in the
laundry, window seats, built-in shelving or entertainment
area, pull-out pantry, shoe racks, drawers or shelves in the
bedroom wardrobes.
The type of heating can depend on the direction that
your new house will face in terms of how much sun it gets.
Are heated floors a priority, or ducted heating rather than a
fire or heat pumps?
The number and
location of the electrical outlets is also something to think
about before your build. Gone are the days when one plug
is each room was enough. While increasing the number of
electrical outlets may seem like a small thing, but will add
flexibility when you start placing your furniture around
your home.
Lighting is another essential thing to discuss before the
build. A skylight at the front entrance can add both natural
light and drama. A skylight in the bedroom means you can
look up at the stars. All can add a huge impact to the way
you live.
Don’t forget the outdoor area. You might want space
for a trampoline or play area or prefer an outdoor kitchen
or dining area. Think about
providing shelter from the
sun or wind and what your
priorities would be – a bar,
pizza oven, fire, television,
dining table or another
seating area?
Part of the fun and
excitement of building your
home is being able to translate
your ideas and dreams into
reality. A little time now will
make sure that your home will
work for you and your family.

[Edition datE]
A happy healthy home
More than ever, we now require our
homes to be a sanctuary - a primate haven
where the cares and pressures of the world
do not intrude. The home should be an
enveloping, warm and creative environment
where family members of all ages feel
relaxed and safe.
The longer you live in your home, the
more likely you are to feel in sync with it.
As the seasons come and go you’ll have
got to know which rooms are sunny and
which ones need brightening.
You’ll have noted areas prone to damp.
You’ll have observed where different family
members like to spend their time and why.
You might have come to the conclusion
that major changes are required to make
your home as healthy as possible, or perhaps
you’ve concluded that a few simple tweaks
will do the trick. Either way, good planning
is essential, so take your time, write lots of
lists and do your research thoroughly.
MATERIALS
The ‘make-do-and-mend’ culture
that has grown during the recession
places emphasis on the satisfaction that
can be found in incorporating natural
materials with vintage items. Pieces of
driftwood, collections of shells, that lovely
moss-covered garden bench or a ‘cleverly’
revived piece of furniture all have their place
in the healthy home and its surroundings.
This trend steers away from plastics and
synthetic materials.
HEATING AND VENTILATION
A home needs to be cool in summer,
with plenty of natural ventilation, and
warm in winter. Traditional open fires are
being phased out and home owners are
discovering the joys of installing modern
wood burners, using gas for heating or
installing a heat pump. All these options are
healthy - technology has come a long way
and most choices will see you saving money
in the long run.
STORAGE
While a minimalist style might be fine for
single people or couples without kids, when
the patter of tiny feet comes along, good
storage is going to be vital at every stage of
a child’s life - be they babies or teens - they
come with clutter. The more you can contain
that clutter the better in terms of both your
mental health and general safety.
There are any number of options available,
from professionally designed cupboards
and wardrobes, to the simple lidded plastic
boxes you can buy at chain stores. While
some people claim they thrive in a messy
environment. I know from experience that a
lovely, orderly home is good for the soul.
COLOUR
Choosing the
right colours
for your home
can make a big
difference. Small,
dark rooms
can be opened
up and made
brighter simply
by choosing the
right paint. If
you can afford an
interior designer
or colour
consultant to
help, I do advise
it. Today’s
homes tend to
be more open
plan, so choose a palette of two or three
basic colours and use them throughout to
achieve cohesion and harmony.

Keeping your home
cool and stylish
this summer
The bright rays of the summer sun are
beckoning, promising heat and sunshine!
Choosing the right window treatment
can help keep your home cool, but they
also need to be practical and stylish
and enhance the look of your living
space. Here are some ideas for window
coverings.
Roller Blinds
Roller blinds are a popular choice
throughout the year, especially those made
from recycled or sustainable materials.
While offering a sleek, contemporary
look, they can be easily adjusted to control
the amount of sunlight coming in. Lightfiltering
blinds provide privacy and can
diffuse harsh; blackout roller blinds are
beneficial for areas requiring cool and
dark environments (bedrooms).
Venetian Blinds
An alternative choice for window
coverings is Venetian blinds, which
are adjustable and can be crafted from
aluminum, wood, or PVC. The slats can
be tilted to allow just the right amount
of light and air to pass through, helping
to maintain a comfortable indoor
temperature.
Cellular Shades
Cellular or honeycomb shades, known as
Thermacell, are becoming more popular
in New Zealand. They are an energyefficient
option that offers excellent
insulation as they create a barrier between
the window and your living space. The
cells trap and conserve air, retain heat, and
keep the cold out. Cellular shades range
from sheer to blackout so that you can
customise each room’s light and privacy
levels.
Curtains and Drapes
Curtains and drapes are a cost-effective
option for summer window coverings.
They are versatile and stylish. Lightweight
and breathable fabrics such as linen or
cotton are ideal for summer as they allow
adequate airflow while providing shade
from the sun.
Opting for light-coloured or reflective
materials will help reduce heat absorption
and keep your home cooler. Sheer
curtains offer a balance between privacy
and visibility. While they add a sense
of openness and allow you to enjoy the
view, they diffuse sunlight. You can create
a room environment that is bright and
inviting while maintaining a comfortable
temperature level.
Motorised and Smart Blinds
Using technology, you can include
motorised and smart blinds for
convenience and energy efficiency.
The blinds can be programmed to
automatically open and close based on
the time of day or temperature, helping
maintain indoor temperatures.
Outdoor Shades
You can also protect your indoor spaces by
using exterior roll-up blinds or awnings to
block sunlight before it hits your windows.
These outdoor shades are a practical
solution to reduce the amount of sun
entering your home and can add appeal to
your outdoor living area.
Choosing the right window coverings
allows you to manage sunlight and heat
effectively. During the hottest months
of the year, you can maintain a cool and
comfortable indoor home environment.
