Carter makes surprise return 

Southbridge superstar 

does promotional 

video for TAG Heuer 

• By Gordon Findlater 

DAN CARTER made a 

flying, hush-hush trip back to 

Southbridge late last week to 

make a promotional video for 

Swiss luxury goods maker, TAG 

Heuer. 

Filming for the video included 

Carter’s visit to the school, 

returning to the Southbridge 

Rugby Club to kick goals, as well 

as kicking goals over the posts at 

his parents Neville 

and Bev’s home. 

The promotion 

is earmarked for 

social media. The 

visit on Thursday was the first 

time Carter had been back to 

Southbridge in two years, 

“Not a lot changes. I didn’t tell 

anyone I was coming into town. 

I’ve already seen some old mates 

down the main street. I popped 

in to get a coffee and saw Sam 

Broomhall, another All Black, in 

there getting his lunch,” Carter 

told Selwyn Times. 

“That’s what I love about this 

small community . . . it’s a 

pretty special place. Obviously 

I’ve travelled all around the 

world but Southbridge is well 

Watch the video 

at www.star.kiwi 

and truly my home.” 

Carter has been in France for 

three years playing for Racing 

92. 

The two-time World Cup 

winning first-five and TAG 

Heuer ambassador also talked 

at his old school, Southbridge 

Primary, on Thursday, and 

took a tour around the school 

grounds with principal Tamara 

Bell. 

He kicked a 

ball around with 

pupils and also 

met the school’s 

pet kunekune pig 

Rawhiti. 

He spent Thursday night at 

his parents Southbridge home 

before returning to Auckland, 

where he is based, on Friday. 

But home is always home. 

Said Neville Carter: “He’ll 

have a look in the fridge 

and see what fruit’s in there, 

what’s edible and if there’s any 

chocolate in the corner. That’s 

about all he does really.” 

Carter replied: “It’s the first 

thing I do actually. It’s quite 

funny. Mum says I just keep 

going there and looking in the 

fridge.” •Turn to page 4

I’M SURE the kids at Southbridge School 

will remember Dan Carter’s visit well into 

their ageing years. 

Carter was back home to film a 

promotion for TAG Heuer (see page 1), the 

Swiss luxury goods company. 

It will be posted on social media and no doubt will go viral. 

It was meant to have been kept quiet, but it’s hard to keep 

things under wraps when journalistic radars are on 24/7. 

Having said that, Carter didn’t try to duck when tackled by 

the Selwyn Times, playing ball like the good guy he is. 

As they say, you can take the boy out of Southbridge but you 

can’t take Southbridge out of the boy.

$2.7m budget increase 

likely for aquatic centre extension 

• By Emily O’Connell 

AN EXTRA $2.7 million may 

be allocated to get the Selwyn 

Aquatic Centre extension under 

way. 

The district council discussed 

the budget increase at its meeting 

last week. 

District 

councillor 

Murray Lemon 

said it decided 

to delay making 

a call on the 

budget increase 

Murray 

Lemon 

“to get a better 

grip on the 

process going 

forward.” 

Cr Lemon said the changes 

follow consultation on the district 

council’s Long Term Plan. 

“If we’re going to give any 

credence to consulting and give 

it any weight and not just box 

tick, then we need to listen to 

what came back from the consultation 

from the submissions,” 

he said. 

Three options were presented 

to the district council. 

Option one is what was adopted 

in the district council’s Long 

PLANS: The Selwyn Aquatic Centre extension could cost an 

extra $2.7 million if the district council approves the increase 

in budget at its meeting next month. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN 

Term Plan, it costs $11.7 million 

and includes an additional 25m 

eight-lane programme pool to 

north of the building. 

Option two includes an addition 

of permanent seating for 

about 200 people, an extension 

of the foyer space, changing the 

positioning of the additional 

25m eight-lane programme pool 

to the west and changing the use 

of current eight-lane lap pool to 

a 1m deep programme pool at a 

cost of $13.2 million. 

The third and preferred option 

includes having 10 lanes in 

2019 

ON THE DOMAIN LINCOLN 2 MARCH 2019 

the additional 25m programme 

pool and refurbishing some 

pool storage to include toilets. It 

comes at a cost of $14.4 million. 

If it was approved, option two 

would see the targeted rate for 

the facility increase by four per 

cent and option three, eight per 

cent. 

Cr Lemon said option three 

is “the best reflection of where 

they’ve come to.” 

At the meeting Mayor Sam 

Broughton was supportive of 

option one due to the cost of 

the facility and “thinking about 

protection from the easterly for 

any future development of an 

outdoor swim space.” 

However, he told Selwyn 

Times “any change is always 

possible.” 

District councillor John 

Morten said he has not made up 

his mind yet on what the best 

option would be. 

“We needed time to digest 

those options . . . we’re not 

prepared to make a decision just 

straight off the cuff out of what 

was in those papers,” he said. 

Construction on the aquatic 

centre is expected to be completed 

halfway through 2020. 

In Brief 

CHURCH REPAIRS 

More than $1000 of the estimated 

$20,000 needed has been raised 

towards repairing Springfield’s 

St Peter’s Community Church. A 

film evening was held to raise 

funds. The church had its roof 

repainted with the next step 

being to repair woodwork on the 

exterior. The evening featured 

films by late Waddington resident 

Fred Bull showcasing Malvern in 

the 1930s.

Carter’s surprise return 

SELWYN TIMES 

•From page 1 

“I’m not sure if it’s an old habit 

or some of mum’s good cooking 

that I’m looking for.” 

In Auckland on Friday, Carter 

attended a TAG Heuer event at 

St Paul’s College where he raised 

$10,000 for the iSport foundation, 

which he and former All Blacks 

captain Richie McCaw founded. 

Carter’s next career move will 

see him move to Japan to start a 

two-year contract with the Kobelco 

Steelers later this year. 

He will link up with some 

familiar faces in Kobe, including 

former Crusaders and All Blacks 

teammate Andy Ellis. 

“It will be good to connect with 

him again and get that old nine- 

10 partnership working again,” 

Carter said. 

“Wayne Smith [former Crusaders 

and All Blacks coach] does 

a bit of coaching there as well 

so that was a big reason why I 

decided to play there.”

E.coli forces chlorination early 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

PERMANENT chlorination of 

the Sheffield Waddington water 

supplies have been fast tracked 

because of E.coli. 

A decision was made by the 

district council in consultation 

with the Canterbury District 

Health Board to continue 

chlorinating the scheme after 

the E.coli boil notice expired 

last month. 

A boil notice was issued 

on June 7, commencing the 

temporary chlorination and 

expired on June 14. 

The district council previously 

confirmed it would permanently 

chlorinate the water supplies 

this month and August. 

The decision was a result of 

pipe breaks, backflow, illegal 

connections and reservoir 

failures in the supplies. 

It received backlash from 

residents living in the Sheffield, 

Waddington, Glentunnel, 

Coalgate and Whitecliffs areas. 

The district council’s assets 

manager Murray Washington 

said the Sheffield Waddington 

supplies will also be upgraded 

with UV treatment, additional 

filtration and chlorine 

equipment. 

Work is expected to be 

completed in September. 

Waddington resident Casey 

de Bruin said wasn’t he aware 

the district council was still 

chlorinating the water supplies. 

He said the residents should 

have been notified and believes 

when the issue of the E.coli is 

resolved the chlorination should 

not be continued. 

Mr Washington said the 

Malvern Hills Hartleys Rd 

scheme could be temporarily 

chlorinated now, as has been 

FAST-TRACKED: The 

Sheffield-Waddington water 

supplies were permanently 

chlorinated last month as a

done on a temporary basis as a 

result of transgressions. 

He said the district council 

will provide consumers 

with maximum advance 

notice possible prior to the 

commencement of permanent 

chlorination. 

Brian Thompson, who 

previously organised a public 

meeting in Glentunnel over the 

permanent chlorination, said 

had not had an update from the 

district council. 

He said he is continuing 

fight against the permanent 

chlorination and to get more 

information.

Providing fire 

wood for 

people who 

can’t afford it 

THE DISTRICT council is 

working with a community group 

to help it supply firewood to those 

in need. 

It leases part of a gravel pit at 

Broadfield near Prebbleton to the 

Firewood Mission, which uses the 

space to split and cut the wood to 

prepare it for delivery. 

The Firewood Mission, which 

was set up 17 years ago by Al 

Fone, delivers firewood to those 

who can’t afford it, helping keep 

their households warm during 

winter. 

District council acquisitions 

disposals and leasing manager 

Rob Allen said a resource consent 

allows the charity to use part of 

the pit to prepare the wood. 

He said it’s fantastic for the 

district council to give back to a 

charitable organisation working 

to help those in need. 

Last year the Firewood Mission 

delivered 333 cu m of wood to 

111 households. Each household 

receives three cubic metres. 

Mr Fone said his team of about 

30 volunteers has worked tirelessly 

felling, splitting, sorting and 

delivering wood.

Weedons 

School’s 

new name 


WEEDONS SCHOOL has a new 

name. 

The school will now be known 

as Weedons School Te Kura o 

Karamu. 

It has been named after the native 

coprosma plant - coprosma 

robusta. The large bushy shrub 

is believed to be typical of the 

Weedons’ area in early Maori 

times. The name was gifted by 

Ngati Moki Marae of Te Taumutu 

Runanga, based in Southbridge. 

Principal Kathy Bell said the coprosma 

robusta is a resilient plant 

that thrives in all conditions. She 

said the idea of marae gifting the 

name was wanting its pupils to be 

resilient, rise to the challenges and 

overcome obstacles. 

It is planned the school is going 

to give each pupil a karamu plant 

when they leave the school to keep 

at home with an idea to create a native 

corridor from the mountains 

to the sea. 

The naming ceremony was attended 

by teachers, parents and 

members of the community. It 

featured a hangi, a kapa haka performance 

and waiata. 


SIX YEARS ago Abigail Curd 

was a shy 13-year-old who 

struggled by being “quiet” and 

“awkward.” 

Now the 19-year-old will be 

walking in front of crowds at 

the Miss Universe New Zealand 

final next month. 

Miss Curd, who is from 

Rolleston, is one of 20 women to 

be selected for the finals. 

The winner will go on to 

represent New Zealand in the 

international Miss Universe 

competition in America. 

Although modelling was initially 

her mother Rachel’s idea, 

Miss Curd is glad she got into it. 

“I used to be quite shy and 

awkward and it’s like really 

given me a lot of confidence,” 

she said. 

The former Lincoln High 

School student has been modelling 

for about six years and says 

her reasons for entering the 

competition were to “explore a 

little bit” and see what good she 

could do with what she’s learnt. 

“Previously with all the work 

that I’ve done it’s all been about 

looks and beauty and there’s 

nothing really intricate to it,” 

she said. 

Miss Curd didn’t think she 

would make the finals after 

meeting the other women who 

had entered. 

“Pretty overwhelming, like I 

wasn’t expecting it at all,” she said. 

Miss Curd said she enjoys 

doing bridal modelling due to its 

“elegance and beauty.” 

She’s “really excited” about the 

finals but she is nervous about 

how it’s going to go. 

“It’s been really cool to see

Bottle store application withdrawn 


A COMPANY wanting 

to set up a bottle store in 

a Lincoln subdivision has 

now pulled out. 

Balhae Ltd had applied 

for an off licence to set up 

the Lincoln Liquor Centre 

in a new commercial development 

in Rosemerryn 

on Eastfield Drive.

A $3.5 million wetland 

project is under way in 

the Ahuriri Lagoon and 

downstream Halswell 

River/Huritini. 

The co-governors of Lake 

Ellesmere/Te Waihora, 

Environment Canterbury, 

Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu, 

the district council and the 

city council, announced 

the beginning of the project 

on Thursday. 

The project is funded by 

the Government’s Freshwater 

Improvement Fund, 

Environment Canterbury 

and NIWA. 

Co-chairs Environment 

Canterbury’s Steve Lowndes 

and Ngai Tahu’s Lisa Tumahai 

said the project would 

improve water quality, 

biodiversity and mahinga 

kai values in the area. 

They said it would also 

provide a pathway to improve 

the water quality of 

the associated catchments 

feeding Lake Ellesmere/Te 

Waihora. 

“This will be achieved 

by constructing a wetland 

fed by the Halswell River/ 

Huritini that will improve 

water quality by reducing 

nutrient and sediment 

passage and creating an 

open water area designed 

for mahinga kai,” the cochairs 

said. 

The design of the constructed 

wetland has been 

developed with input from 

rūnanga, the Ahuriri Lagoon 

Steering Group, consultants, 

hearing. However, the 

hearing has since been 

cancelled. 

Balhae Ltd could not be 

reached for comment. 

Lincoln resident Dave

the outcome.

The project also has 

a Mātauranga Māori 

monitoring programme to 

gauge the changing value 

of the site for iwi, and an 

applied research component 

to measure improvements 

in water quality. 

The wetland is being 

set up as a demonstration 

site to show what can be 

achieved with constructed 

wetlands for nutrient 

“stripping,” meaning

Battle lost for Waddington stop sign 



WADDINGTON residents have 

lost a battle for a stop sign at an 

accident prone intersection. 

The New Zealand Transport 

Association has turned down a 

plea for the stop sign at the intersection 

of State Highway 73 and 

Waimakariri Gorge Rd. 

In a letter to the district council’s 

road safety sub committee, 

NZTA lead strategic interventions 

adviser Jenny Dickinson 

said a stop sign is normally used 

where there is limited visibility 

approaching the intersection. 

“For drivers on Waimakariri 

Gorge Rd there is good visibility 

in both directions on SH73, 

which normally means a give 

way sign is an appropriate tool 

for drivers,” she said. 

But Ms Dickinson said NZTA 

will talk to police to see if there 

are other helpful interventions 

or changes that could be made to 

the intersection to make it safer. 

It comes after a letter was presented 

to the Sheffield-Waddington 

Community Committee in 

February by resident Bob Scott. 

The letter discussed concerns 

the current give way sign is 

difficult for people to see when 

they pull up to the intersection 

and the corner is busy with 

signage. 

Already two serious crashes 

have been recorded at the intersection 

this year, one a fatal. 

Three other crashes that resulted 

in both serious and minor 

injuries were recorded at the 

intersection between 2014-2016. 

Mr Scott said he was disappointed 

but would like to think 

they had actually considered improving 

it. “The corner does need 

tidying up . . . are they going to 

do anything about the corner or 

are they going to wait until there 

is another fatality,” he said. 

District councillor Bob Mugford 

said a driver can “see both 

ways for miles” and he couldn’t 

see how accidents happen, but 

they do. He said he didn’t think 

a stop sign would make a lot of

difference, but the community 

could continue to take it up with 

the road safety committee, which 

he is a member of. 

Nearby resident Casey de 

Bruin said while he is convinced 

it is a driver issue, if something 

needed to be done a stop sign 

would be the answer. 

Senior constable Andy 

Grant said whether there is a give 

way sign or stop sign, drivers still 

need to give way to the traffic on 

State Highway 73. 

He said there are a lot of signs 

at the intersection which may 

make it difficult for drivers, 

particularly tourists, to take in, 

and the signage could be made 

clearer.

Castle Hill villagers dress up 

up to celebrate solstice 

Castle Hill 

Community 

Association 

chairman Rob 

Murfitt talks 

about what’s 

happening in 

the area 

WHAT A sudden change of 

season. June saw winter arrive in 

no uncertain fashion. 

Snow showers in the village, 

cold nights and we are gearing 

up for a good season in the Craigieburn 

ski fields. 

Castle Hill villagers celebrated 

the solstice with a themed dinner, 

South of the Border. 

There was Mexican-South 

American cuisine, themed dress, 

music and dance. This continues 

a tradition in the village helped 

by the fact no one needs to drive 

home. 

The community hall is a focus 

of village life, used regularly for 

community gatherings for rugby 

match viewing, as well as special 

family events. 

In the village, a lot of effort 

has been put into consulting the 

community as to the future environmental 

goals in relation to the 

management of reserves. 

Trees once planted for diversity 

and character have grown over 

the last 40 years to the extent 

there is, for some, undue interference 

with views and light. 

As always, there are 

countervailing views and a 

balanced review is important. 

Of course, the need to manage 

pest species of trees needs to be 

achieved in tandem with the 

district council and Environment 

Canterbury. 

FESTIVITY: 

Castle Hill 

village 

marked the 

solstice with 

a South of 

the Border 

dinner. 

Playground features developed 

over the years are under review, 

too. 

The villagers value the planned 

informality of the play sites in 

the village, where children can 

“happen upon” various activities. 

We need to ensure the basic 

demands of safety do not destroy 

the opportunities for adventure 

and fun, which the children so 

enjoy at present. 

The village continues to grow 

and prosper, and new construction 

continues apace. 

This is a place which has the 

ability to blow one’s mind with 

the views, the sunsets, the recreational 

activities, and the serenity 

which comes from being in the 

heart of the high country.

To combat

To promote further safety 

awareness, maybe a continuance 

of this signage should be at the 

entrance to Prebbleton School 

from the Lincoln side, and at any 

other juncture that Mr Hunter or 

Cr Lyall would deem necessary. 

This would hopefully ensure 

the necessity that all entering 

Prebbleton observe the speed 

limits of this rural town. 

Readers respond to 

an article on plans for 

a walkway/cycleway 

between Glentunnel and 

Whitecliffs 

Lyn Gallagher – Having 

moved to Whitecliffs after the 

2011 earthquake, I’ve been aware 

of a growing population out here, 

many of them younger families. 

From conversations with other 

locals, and my own experience, 

this proposal has been long 

awaited. A walkway/cycleway 

would mean families could walk 

or bike to the local Glentunnel 

store, cafe, pre-school and 

school safely without having to 

be ‘looking over their shoulder’ 

constantly at the threat of a 

truck or car coming up behind 

them. One mother and her two 

pre-school children had a very 

close shave with a truck recently. 

A walkway would also be an 

incentive for young mothers or 

fathers to take their babies out in 

a pram, something that would 

be unsafe at present. I feel the 

HEADLINERS: The Little River Band will play at Selwyn Sounds in March. 

walkway/cycleway would add a 

quality of life out here, and I feel 

a growing sense of excitement 

that this incentive may finally 

come to fruition. 

Sue Wragg – As a resident 

I strongly support a walkway/ 

cycleway between Glentunnel 

and Whitecliffs. I have cycled 

with my young grandson and 

often walked it. Certainly fast 

traffic and narrow corners to 

contend with. 

It would be used a great deal 

in summer when the camping 

ground is very popular, especially 

since there is both a shop and 

cafe in Glentunnel. 

Liana Pasco – I support 

the need for a track from 

NEW: The Flaming Rabbit manager Byron Mann at the recently 

opened bar and restaurant. PHOTOS: MARTIN HUNTER 

Whitecliffs to Glentunnel. We 

live on Whitecliffs Rd (up on the 

hills) and we have two young 

children. Our eldest is five and 

he quite often bikes all the way to 

Coalgate with his nan. It scares 

me that he is riding on the road 

and going around the sharp 

corners. 

Graham Burnip – I live in 

Glentunnel and drive to visit 

friends in Whitecliffs. I could 

easily bike this distance, but the 

traffic and winding road make it 

scarily dangerous. 

So I’d favour a path adjacent 

to the road sooner rather than 

later. While a formed track would 

be a good first step, an eventual 

bitumen surface would be ideal.

Danella Friend – No. I’ve 

been waiting so long to see Leo 

Sayer and now we are going 

to still be in Malaysia in 2019. 

Hopefully he can come back in 

2020. 

Yvonne Stubbs – Jon Stevens 

why did you retire in the

Good news for first home buyers 

Selwyn MP Amy Adam 

writes about how the 

district has become more 

affordable for first home 

buyers 

Amy Adams 

Selwyn MP 

WHILE WE continue to hear 

stories about the rising cost of 

housing and difficulties for first 

home buyers in other parts of 

New Zealand, here in Selwyn 

housing has gradually become 

more affordable since 2009, 

according to figures from the 

Ministry of Business, Innovation 

and Employment. 

Unfortunately, MBIE figures 

are not yet available for 2017, 

but housing affordability in the 

region dropped from a peak of 

74.5 per cent in 2009 to 55.4 per 

cent – well below the overall New 

Zealand figure of 77.5 per cent 

for 2016. 

The percentage relates to the 

number of renting households 

that would have a residual 

income after housing costs of 

below the national median, so 

(while it is a little tricky to get 

your head around) the higher 

the percentage figure, the less 

affordable housing is in that 

region. 

From my perspective, the 

availability of land and large 

number of new homes being 

constructed in Selwyn since 

2009 have all contributed to this 

situation. 

It is a classic case of supply and 

demand working well. 

Another factor that has 

contributed to housing 

affordability in the region is the 

previous Government’s policy 

of making grants available for 

first home buyers through the 

Kiwisaver Homestart Grant 

scheme. 

SOLD: Selwyn MP Amy Adams says houses in the district are 

more affordable for first home buyers. 

During the period of January 

to March 2018, a total of 118 

Kiwisaver HomeStart Grant 

applications were approved in 

the Selwyn district and 93 grants 

totalling $690,000 were paid 

out. These grants enabled the 

purchase of 59 properties. 

This trend of more first time 

buyers getting into the market 

has been seen across New 

Zealand. According to the 

Property Institute, over a third 

of those securing mortgages 

in March 2018 in the greater 

Christchurch area were first 

home buyers. This makes 

first home buyers by far the 

largest group of new mortgage 

customers locally, compared 

with those refinancing at 19.4 per 

cent; investors at 17.7 per cent 

and those moving house at 11.3 

per cent. 

For those looking to use 

Kiwisaver to secure their first 

home, it is important to note 

that there are two KiwiSaver 

products available for first 

home buyers. The KiwiSaver 

HomeStart Grant is 

administered by Housing New 

Zealand, while the ability to 

withdraw KiwiSaver funds for a 

deposit through the Kiwisaver 

FirstHome Savings Withdrawal 

scheme is administered by 

Kiwisaver providers. 

ANZ reports that it has seen 

a near five-fold increase in the 

number of borrowers using 

KiwiSaver funds for a home 

deposit, with about 40 per 

cent of first home buyers using 

KiwiSaver to finance a deposit in 

the year to September 2017.

Harcourts for Lincoln 

Local 

News 

Now 



LINCOLN’S growing population 

has attracted another real estate 

company – Harcourts. 

Harcourts Four Seasons Realty 

will open an office in the former 

Westpac bank site in Gerald St in 

September. 

Four Seasons principal officer 

James Twiss said they are “really 

excited” about the opportunity 

and they’re keen to be part of the 

community and do their part to 

help out. 

Mr Twiss 

said they made 

the decision to 

open an office 

in Lincoln 

following 

district council 

statistics which 

showed the 

predicted 

James Twiss 

growth in the 

area. 

“Seven thousand five hundred 

people with a reasonably active 

real estate market was an obvious 

place to put an office, but the fact 

there’s potential growth in there 

also was something that sort of 

interested us,” he said. 

The average sale price of 

a house in Lincoln over the 

past year ending in June was 

$601,000. 

Mr Twiss said most house 

hunters tend to be families who 

are looking for are looking for 

four-bedroom, two-bathroom 

houses. 

However, he said there is still 

a market for smaller units with 

developments in Barton Fields 

which has a precinct for people 

aged over 55-years-old. 

BUSINESS: Harcourts will open in Lincoln in September. 

“We’re seeing really strong 

growth in that two-bedroom, 

two-bathroom, over-55s market 

and the people buying in there 

tend to be coming off rural lots 

south of Lincoln,” Mr Twiss said. 

He believes that market will 

continue to grow as the population 

ages. 

Mr Twiss said it’s still to be decided 

how many people will work 

in the Lincoln office but it will be 

looking to hire local people. 

He said Westpac had been 

making its final changes to the 

building and construction by 

Harcourts started last week. 

“We’re expecting it’s probably 

going to be a two-month sort 

of fit out to get the thing up to 

where we need it to be,” Mr Twiss 

said. 

Ross Mitchell, who lives in Lincoln, 

will be managing the office. 

NEW: The former Westpac bank building in Lincoln is set to 

become a Harcourts.

Trust brings the 

community together 

Lincoln 

Envirotown 

trustee Sue 

Jarvis writes 

about the 

Lincoln 

Envirotown 

Trust 

IN 2007 the Lincoln Envirotown 

Trust, after consulting widely, 

decided to hold a community 

meeting for the Lincoln 

community to put together a 

community environmental 

action plan. 

About 45 people turned up and 

came up with many ideas as well 

as adopting various sections of 

the plan. 

This original plan, together 

with many other ideas, has guided 

how LET has worked with 

and assisted the community to 

bring about Lincoln Envirotown. 

Since then, having achieved so 

much, and definitely not run out 

of ideas (just think of the ever 

increasing issue of plastic pollution) 

LET has become involved 

in activities and communities 

Selwyn wide. 

LET is now planning an event 

to discuss the environmental 

future of the whole of Selwyn 

and so we invite people of all 

ages to come and consider 

Selwyn’s Environment – What is 

our Future? 

This will be held July 22 at the 

Lincoln Bowling Club, which is 

adjacent to Lincoln Event Centre. 

There will be speakers, displays 

and refreshments. 

So please drop in between 1pm 

and 4pm and join in generating 

and discussing ideas on how our 

community can create a sustainable 

future for the district at the 

family friendly event. 

All the feedback generated 

will form the basis of a Lincoln 

Envirotown Trust planning 

meeting later in the year, where 

we will look at how we can help 

Selwyn communities implement 

new projects encouraging 

environmental sustainability and 

community strength. 

Prior to the event tell us the issues 

that are important to you by 

completing our 15 second survey. 

This can be found on Lincoln 

Envirotown’s website, Facebook 

page or Eventbrite: https://whatisourfuture.eventbrite.co.nz. 

•If you are unable to attend 

the meeting but would still 

like to make suggestions 

then send an email to

HELPING OUT: Students from University of Florida with some 

locals showing off with the empty plant pots. 

Florida students 

help out in Lincoln 

Sue Jarvis also writes 

about students from 

Florida helping out in 

Lincoln 

STUDENTS from Florida, with 

Mark Hostetler and Meryl Klein, 

along with a number of locals 

did an amazing job planting 

about 400 native plants at the 

Mahoe Reserve Native plant 

re-vegetation project recently. 

Thanks to everyone who 

helped, especially to Lincoln 

Envirotown members and the 

Mahoe Management committee 

for all their organisation behind 

the scenes. Also to Colin Meurk 

for his usual expert demonstration. 

While we were there we found 

a young skink so he (or she – 

how do you tell with skinks?) 

was carefully put into our new 

hedgehog-proof lizard enclosure. 

We are hoping that our efforts 

to recreate the native plant community 

that would have been 

there before humans arrived 

will also provide a good habitat 

for native animals – so this is a 

great sign. 

Hedgehogs are predators on 

skinks and have been found, 

using tracking tunnels, to be 

common at the reserve. 

Students from Florida have 

been visiting the Mahoe Reserve 

in Lincoln every year for about 

10 years to help us.

Fruit sales for good cause 


FIVE TAI Tapu School pupils 

have gone fruity to raise funds 

for a 3D printer. 

Year 5 and 6 pupils Hugo 

Arthur, Max Wilson, Oscar 

Holvey, Louie Garry and Matthew 

Elliott have raised $1387 

through selling fruit boxes. 

The group, who were mentored 

by the Garry family, 

toured MG marketing and were 

able to advertise the fruit boxes 

to the school community at a 

discounted price. 

The orders were taken and 

boxes distributed by the group. 

They followed a business plan 

and have a detailed spreadsheet 

to organise costs and buyers. 

The project was part of the 

Discover, Attempt, Reflect, 

Extend programme at Tai Tapu 

School. 

The DARE programme, which 

started three years ago, allows 

pupils to design a learning 

project of their choice in small 

groups. 

The project needs to be a new 

invention, something they can 

adapt and improve or something 

which addresses a need within 

the school, community or is designed 

to give service to others. 

Pupils use a design thinking 

process and each stage of their 

project is mentored by a teacher. 

Teacher Karen Blatchford said 

the fruit group had great support 

from the community due to

their “excellent” promotion and 

advertising. 

“The school is very proud of 

their efforts and many students 

will benefit for the use of the 

printer,” she said. 

One of the pupils has registered 

the school for selling 

STEAM Kits which will be a 

further fundraiser. 

The 3D printer, which the 

group is hoping to buy next 

term, will be used for inventor 

workshops and DARE projects. 

Other DARE groups have 

raised money for welcome packs 

and soft toys for Cholmondeley 

Children’s Centre, made 

donations to the Society for 

Prevention of Cruelty to 

Animals Canterbury and the 

Christchurch City Mission, 

created carpentry tables for

Diversity across Selwyn district 

is continuing to grow 

Surinder Tandon (right) and Manish Pandey from the Christchurch Multicultural Council present Mayor Sam Broughton with a 

certificate of appreciation. 

Over the past 12 months 372 new citizens have been welcomed at 12 citizenship ceremonies. The 

new Selwyn residents, come from 40 different countries across the world. 

Over that period the four country’s providing the most new arrivals were Britain with 136, South 

Africa with 45, the Philippines with 33 and India with 25. 

While Selwyn district has also welcome news residents from Iraq, Tanzania, Afghanistan, Kenya 

and Nepal, as well as a range of countries around the world. 

Mayor Sam Broughton says it’s positive to see the district become home to a wide range of 

nationalities. 

“As a growing district it’s fantastic to see people from all over the world wanting to make Selwyn a 

permanent home. 

“Our growing diversity continues to enhance our district, and the vibrancy it has.” 

Data from the 2013 Census had Selwyn showing significant growth in terms of diversity. 

It reviewed where people had come from prior to moving to Selwyn. 

The data showed new residents had moved from the likes of South Africa, Fiji, India, the 

Netherlands, China and a range of other countries. 

Mayor Sam Broughton is looking forward to the upcoming Census to get a firm idea on how 

Selwyn is growing, and who is living here. 

“With our rapid change over the last five years, the Census will give us a strong idea about the 

true identity of our district. 

“We rely on interim data from Statistics New Zealand, but the true data from the census will help 

us in key decision making.” 

Selwyn is part of a two year Welcoming Communities pilot programme involving eight other 

councils in five regions across New Zealand. It aims to mobilise and involve local residents in 

welcoming activities. 

Previous settlement initiatives have focused primarily on supporting newcomers, the new 

approach creates bridges between members of the receiving community and newcomers. 

One part of the programme is for each council and community to produce a Welcoming Plan that 

outlines what action is needed to meet the Welcoming Communities Standard, a benchmark for 

what a successful welcoming community looks like. The Selwyn Welcoming Plan, to be launched 

in August, should be read alongside the 2015 Newcomer and Migrants Strategy. 

The work the Selwyn District Council has already done has been recognised by the Christchurch 

Multicultural Council, who thanked the Council for initiatives like the CultureFest, and other 

activities which work to welcome newcomers and migrants. 

Council helping to warm homes 

across the region 

Selwyn District Council is working with a local community group to 

help it supply firewood to those in need around the district, and the 

Greater Canterbury Region. 

The Council leases part of a gravel pit at Broadfield near Prebbleton 

to the Firewood Mission, which uses the space to split and cut the 

wood to prepare it for delivery for those in need. 

The Firewood Mission, which was set up 17 years ago by Al Fone, 

delivers firewood to those who can’t afford it, to help keep their 

households warm over winter. 

The Council’s Acquisitions Disposals and Leasing Manager, Rob 

Allen, says a resource consent allows the charity to use part of the 

pit to prepare the wood. 

He said it is fantastic for the Council to give back to a charitable 

organisation working to help those in need. 

Last year the Firewood Mission delivered 333 cubic metres of wood 

to 111 households. Each household receives three cubic metres. 

Firewood Mission team leader Al Fone says his team of around 

30 volunteers has worked tirelessly felling, splitting, sorting and 

delivering wood. 

He said they are grateful for the help they receive from the likes of 

the Selwyn District Council and without it the work they do wouldn’t 

be possible. 

Fone said they often encounter heart break stories, and was 

recently told of one woman who was heating her house with the 

oven, as prior to delivery of the wood it was the only source of 

heating in her home. 

Once a year the Firewood Mission comes into Council to pay its 

‘peppercorn’ rent for the pit usage.

• By Jacob Page 

BROADFIELD A have gone 

through round two of the Selwyn 

premier netball competition 

unbeaten after a 62-50 win over 

Greenpark A at Lincoln Event 

Centre. 

While round three is where 

you want to be peaking, heading 

into the playoffs, Broadfield A 

can boast bragging rights with 

their four win, one draw record. 

Coach Yvonne Crichton-Hill 

said despite her team’s best 

season in many years, she was 

confident they hadn’t hit their 

full potential just yet. 

“In the past when we got up 

by three goals, I’m not sure 

what happened but we usually 

switched off, but this year we are 

learning to keep the foot on the 

throat because we have too. “ 

“As a coach, I can feel the other 

teams breathing down my neck 

which makes for a good competition 

but it is all go,” she said. 

Crichton-Hill said she was 

thrilled with how both the attack 

and defensive ends of the court 

worked for each other during the 

win. “When we get a turnover in 

defence, our high shooting percentages 

are meaning that we are 

converting that chance and that’s 

really important.” 

She praised the work of Eboni 

PHOTOS: KAREN CASEY 

Hill and and Georgie Bolton in 

creating opportunities through 

court. “Georgie - she was relentless 

all game, she never gives up 

on the ball.” 

Lincoln A leapfrogged Greenpark

win over Southbridge B.

Trio make national deaf 

lawn bowls team 


THREE SELWYN lawn bowlers 

have made the New Zealand 

team for the International 

Deaf Bowls Championships in 

Christchurch next year. 

Barbara Herrick, Hazel 

Littlejohn and Margaret Bailey 

from the West Melton, Darfield 

and Leeston bowls clubs 

respectively will join forces to 

play triples together. 

Herrick and Bailey have 

made regular appearances for 

New Zealand in the past, while 

Littlejohn is a fourth year bowler 

and the tournament in January 

will be her first international 

call-up. 

The event is held in various 

countries around the world 

every four years and has been 

held in Christchurch, Wales, 

Scotland, South Africa, England, 

Australia, Northern Ireland and 

Ireland. 

This year the teams are from 

Australia, Wales, Scotland, 

England, Ireland and Northern 

Ireland. 

Littlejohn said she was excited 

by the opportunities deaf lawn 

bowls had offered her. 

“I first met Barbara at a 

tournament on the West Coast 

two years ago. When she found 

out that I was deaf, she asked

Littlejohn and Margaret Bailey will represent New Zealand in 

a deaf lawn bowls team at the international championships in 

Christchurch in January. 

me then if I was interested in 

trialling for the deaf world bowls 

team. 

“She introduced me to Maggie 

there, too.” 

“We had our trials the last 

weekend in May this year in 

Pukekohe, where we met other 

deaf players from the rest of New 

Zealand,” she said. 

“In order to qualify we must 

have moderately severe hearing 

loss (hearing level 55 or more). 

“We were chuffed that we 

had been selected to play in the 

triples, which is a bonus as we 

can practice when the grass 

season gets under way again, in 

local tournaments together.” 

Herrick has been playing the 

sport for 27 years, while Bailey 

has played for five and Littlejohn 

three years. 

From now until the 

tournament, the fundraising will 

begin. 

WINNERS: Ellesmere celebrate winning back the Southbridge 

Shield last year.

Ellesmere play to retain 

Southbridge Shield 


ELLESMERE WILL look to 

retain the Southbridge Shield 

on Saturday against North 

Canterbury at Prebbleton Oval. 

Ellesmere regained the shield 

last year with a 35-20 win in 

Kaiapoi. 

Ellesmere have had one win 

and one loss in their two games 

so far this season. They were 

outclassed 29-10 by a Queensland 

Country XV on June 25. 

However, Ellesmere ended their 

five-year winless stretch against 

Mid-Canterbury, toppling them 

26-24 in Ashburton last Tuesday, 

which should give them plenty 

of confidence for the weekend. 

Ellesmere coach Alex Robertson 

said the team were working 

hard on their scrums and lineouts. 

“We know if our set-piece 

goes well that will lay a platform 

for our attack,” he said. 

Ellesmere had the better of the 

scrums against Mid-Canterbury, 

even earning a penalty try for 

scrum dominance, but Robertson 

said he was expecting North 

Canterbury to make them work 

a lot harder. 

“It’s a privilege to play for 

Ellesmere and for the Southbridge 

Shield and the boys have 

formed good combinations over 

the past two games so we’re 

expecting to do the area proud,” 

he said. 

There will be six games across 

the grades between the two subunions, 

all played in Prebbleton. 

They each won three games 

last year.

Lincoln Uni demolish Brighton 

• By Jim Doyle 

LINCOLN University did 

another demolition job on New 

Brighton on Saturday, roaring 

away in the second half to win 

45-13. 

The Rams are now firmly on 

the road to securing a fourth 

successive Hawkins Trophy title 

in metro premier club rugby. 

The sandhoppers seemed to 

like the lush pasture of Lincoln 

better than the beach, even 

leading 13-10 at half-time. The 

second half was a different story. 

Brett Cameron showed great 

hands to whisk the ball off the 

deck, Sam Gilbert split the 

defence with a carving run, and 

Connor Garden-Bachop was 

across easily. Then Caleb Makene 

scored on the other side of 

the field after Jack Stratton made 

the crucial break. 

Three further tries in the last 

quarter thrust Lincoln past the 

bonus point mark and into the 

semi-finals for the Hawkins 

Trophy. 

It was a timely return by Cameron 

because Rameka Poihipi 

was seated behind the rope with 

some serious hardware on his 

right leg. 

Cameron distributed the ball 

sweetly, made the odd dab himself, 

never shirked a tackle, and 

landed all of his attempts at goal, 

some from tricky angles across a 

tricky wind. 

In the first half, fullback 

Gilbert took off on a remarkable 

angled run from his own line 

and almost got to halfway before 

meeting solid resistance. Then 

he made a slick off-load in the 

tackle. Problem was he gave the 

ball to Brighton left wing Jordan 

French, who gratefully scooted 

away to score. 

So Brighton’s only try was 

against the run of play, although 

lock Boris van Bruchem went 

close with a good break just on 

half-time. 

The visitors were severely

Brighton.

handicapped in the scrums, 

where Lincoln shunted them 

right off their own ball several 

times or at least gave Brighton 

No 8 Aaron McCoy an impossible 

task. Harrison Courtney and 

Troy Hallett were at the cutting 

edge of Lincoln’s demolition job 

and both showed up powerfully 

with ball in hand. 

Mitch Dunshea and Jack 

Stratton were late additions to 

the starting line-up after being 

cleared to play by the Crusaders. 

The visitors had some good 

passages of play without setting 

the world on fire. Nikos 

Cummings-Toone played his 

100 th game for the seasiders 

while Scott Pawson also hit the 

century mark as coach. 

Scorers: Lincoln University

Darfield survive 

scare to beat BDI 


DARFIELD SURVIVED an 

almighty scare from Burnham- 

Dunsandel-Irwell to hold on 

38-35 and strengthen their top 

four Coleman Shield chances on 

Saturday. 

Darfield led 38-14 in the second 

half before ill discipline and a 

surging BDI eventually made a 

game of it. 

Competition leaders Waihora 

had no trouble dispatching 

Hornby 66-19 after they raced out 

to a 40-0 lead at one point. 

Southbridge remained in third 

with a comfortable 29-7 win over 

Rolleston. Meanwhile, fourthplaced 

Prebbleton did enough 

to ease past lowly West Melton 

35-24. Springston revived their 

play-off chances, as they moved 

to fifth after an 18-13 win over 

Lincoln which saw them leapfrog 

them on the table. 

The senior competition takes a 

break this week as Ellesmere and 

North Canterbury play across 

six grades, including the annual 

Southbridge Shield game at 

Prebbleton. 

The Ellesmere seniors will be 

looking to retain the shield when 

the game kicks off at 3pm on 

Saturday. 

Results: Waihora 66, Hornby 

19; Springston 18, Lincoln 13; 

BREAKAWAY: Waihora remain 

unbeaten in the Coleman 

Shield. Pictured is Waihora’s

Lincoln Combined taste UC top four 


LINCOLN COMBINED did 

their UC Championship playoff 

hopes plenty of good with a 40- 

21 bonus point win over Waimea 

Combined at Lincoln High 

School on Saturday. 

It wasn’t always pretty but the 

five competition points kept 

them in third heading into the 

fortnight school holiday break. 

Lincoln made the most of 

home ground advantage to score 

three unanswered tries to start 

the game. Wayde van Vuuren, 

Wil Gualter and Hamish Turnbull 

all scored to have Lincoln 

Combined race out to a 19-0 

advantage 

Thoughts of an easy game 

proved incorrect as Waimea 

showed plenty of fight and Lincoln’s 

ill discipline, capped with 

a Gualter yellow card for a high 

tackle, keeping the visitors in the 

match. Once restored to 15 men 

early in the second half, tries to 

Cole Spinks and Gualter secured 

the match and a crucial four-try 

bonus point. 

Coach Mike Wilson said his 

team started the way they hoped 

but were guilty of switching off 

and not going the basics. 

“I think we stopped trying to 

do our jobs and tried to play too 

much rugby.” 

“We scored a couple of easy 

tries and I’m not sure but maybe 

that’s what caused us to get too 

loose with things,” Wilson said. 

Many of the players will go 

back and play Ellesmere representative 

rugby during the school 

holidays. The team will next play 

St Bede’s at St Bede’s College on 

July 28. A win in that game will 

go a long way to securing a semifinal 

spot.

Lincoln Combined 

Proud supporters of 

Rugby & Netball in Selwyn 

players called up for higher honours 

Captain Wil Gualter has made the Crusader 

Knights squad and blindside loosie Kenan Pluck is 

in the New Zealand Maori under-18 squad. Jacob 

Page reports 

SCINTILLATING form and 

composure under pressure has 

seen Lincoln Combined captain 

Wil Gualter named in the 

Crusader Knights training camp 

squad. 

In spite of his team challenging 

for a semi-final spot in the UC 

Championship, he is their sole 

representative in the Crusaders 

region secondary school team. 

Gualter has had his moments 

in attack, scoring a double 

against St Andrew’s a fortnight 

ago, and he has also kicked two 

match-winning penalties this 

season. 

“I think the way it is travelling, 

a few of the boys deserved to 

push their chances a little more, 

but for me it’s a great thrill to be 

picked and something that I’ll 

enjoy.” 

HARD WORKER: 

Kenan Pluck has 

been rewarded for 

a stellar season 

with Lincoln 

Combined by being 

named in the New 

Zealand Maori 

under-18 squad. 

PHOTO: FELICITY 

PLUCK 

The 17-year-old, who has 

played most of the season at 

second-five said he felt 2018 

would be a breakthrough season 

right from the start. 

“I felt last season, with a new 

coaching setup and management 

group, that something good was 

happening,” he said. 

“This year we’ve managed to 

win close games and take down 

some big rugby schools, and 

that’s given us a lot of confidence.” 

The Lincoln High School year 

12 student, who is part of the 

Waihora club, said the Lincoln 

Combined team’s chemistry has 

been a big part to their success. 

“We all get on extremely 

well and trainings are enjoyable 

and that shows on game day 

when we all work hard for each 

other.” Gualter said it had been 

hard not to think too far ahead 

about a potential semi-final. 

“It is something that we talk 

about at training quite a bit, 

probably more than we should, 

but we know there is more hard 

work to do.” 

He said making the Knights 

squad was an experience he 

was excited about. “Being able 

to match myself against players 

from bigger schools is going to be 

exciting.” 

A squad of 25 players will be 

chosen at the conclusion of the 

camp at St Andrew’s College. 

They will travel to Hamilton to 

play the Chiefs under-18 team on 

Saturday, while another Junior 

Knights Development team will 

play a Canterbury Invitational 

XV in Christchurch tomorrow. 

SELECTED: Lincoln Combined captain Wil Gualter is his 

team’s only player in the Crusader Knights squad. 


Pluck off to NZ Maori camp 

LINCOLN COMBINED flanker 

Keanan Pluck will get his first 

taste of a national rugby set up 

with the Maori under-18 squad. 

The Rolleston teen has been 

one of the best in a talented, 

yet under-sized forward pack 

which has helped their team 

to a top four spot in the UC 

Championship. 

“We try to hit the rucks hard 

and make an impact with what 

we have,” Pluck said. He said 

the team was thriving on being 

considered underdogs. 

“Teams turn up to our place 

and think we aren’t up to much 

and then we show them,” he 

said. 

The 17-year-old has made the 

40-man squad for a three day 

training camp in Rotorua from 

July 16. 

Pluck, who is in his second 

season with the Lincoln 

Combined side, but his first as 

a regular starter, said he was 

looking forward to getting in 

touch with the Maori culture 

and playing alongside some top 

players. 

“It’s a great experience for me 

to learn and grow as a player 

and since it’s my first national 

squad, it’ll be good to test myself 

against players from other areas 

including the North Island,” he 

said. Pluck started playing rugby 

after an agreement with a friend 

when he was 11-years-old. 

“I had played soccer for a 

season but then my friend said I 

should try rugby and I’ve loved it 

ever since,” he said. 

“Mum, where 

do the roads 

come from?”

Backyard Critters 

continuing education 

Moth at the window 

Mike Bowie is an ecologist who specialises in entomology 

(insects and other invertebrates). Each week he introduces 

a new species found in his backyard at Lincoln. His 

column aims to raise public awareness of biodiversity, the 

variety of living things around us. Check out the full list of 

invertebrates found at http://naturewatch.org.nz/projects/ 

backyard-biodiversity-bugs-in-lincoln 

IN MID-JUNE a common forest looper, 

pseudocoremia suavis, an endemic species 

found throughout New Zealand, was 

attracted to my window at night. 

Adults have a wingspan of 26-34mm 

and their 

forewings have 

variable patterns 

of light and dark 

brown. 

The hind 

wings are 

pale yellow in 

colour. Males 

have a longer 

and thinner 

abdomen that 

protrudes past 

the wings when 

resting. 

Moths feed 

on flower nectar 

and honeydew 

excreted by 

scale insects. 

Oval, pale green 

eggs are laid on 

vegetation but turn red after about three 

days. 

The larvae feed on a range of species, 

including southern beech, kanuka, 

podocarps, gorse, yew, pine and douglas 

fir. 

Significant defoliation sometimes 

occurs on douglas fir and radiata pine. 

Younger caterpillars feeding on exotic 

conifers make 

the needles 

droop or 

die, giving 

a scorched 

reddy-brown 

appearance. 

When 

disturbed or 

attacked by 

insect predators, 

the larvae can 

drop down on 

threads of silk. 

They usually 

pupate on the 

ground under 

litter, dead wood 

or stones, but 

sometimes in 

branches of 

trees. 

Large populations can collapse 

when infected by a virus. Thirteen 

parasitoids have been recorded from this 

species. 

Christchurch 

School of Music 

The Christchurch School of Music is 

a family-oriented community aimed at 

providing quality music education in and 

around Christchurch. The school has been 

an important part of the Christchurch 

music education scene for 62 years so why 

not come along and join us? 

CSM is a not-for-profit organisation with 

a strong focus on community. From ages 2 

to 92 we have something for everyone. On 

a Saturday morning the whole family can 

find something to suit. 

For the young ones there are pre-school 

and junior school classes, “Take Off with 

Music”, 41/2 year olds can start on Suzuki 

strings and at 6 the recorder is a great 

instrument to learn 

Older children and 

adults may opt for group 

or individual lessons on 

a specific instrument 

(including voice). With 

six orchestras, two 

concert bands, a Big Band, 

a jazz combo, 6 wind 

ensembles, rock bands, 

two choirs, chamber 

groups, a samba band and 

a guitar ensemble there 

is an ensemble to suit all 

levels and all ages. 

The UC Christchurch 

Youth Orchestra, CSM’s top orchestra, 

generously sponsored by the University of 

Canterbury Foundation, has an exciting 

concert series throughout the year. 

The School also runs an extensive 

Outreach programme in local schools 

incorporating a band programme, ukulele, 

recorder and percussion teaching. 

If affordability is an issue, CSM may be 

able to offer a discount through funding 

provided by the Rata Foundation. 

Enrolments are open for Semester 2 so 

please contact us via our website www. 

csm.org.nz and let us start you on a 

musical journey that will bring pleasure 

for a lifetime.

SELWYN TIMES 

CWEA - More 

than just a course! 

The WEA opposite the Christchurch Art 

Gallery on Gloucester St, has been offering 

affordable adult education for over 100 

years. A recent survey of participants and 

tutors shows that it is about more than just 

the courses it runs. Kazuko who teaches 

Japanese arts and culture says “It’s my home 

away from home, a home of learning”. The 

homely feel and warm welcome you get 

on stepping through the door indicate an 

inclusive, caring culture - values which 

have long been held high at the WEA. With 

discussion clubs like “The Thinkers Group”, 

courses on Women’s Suffrage and Armchair 

travel as well as regular speaker slots called 

“The Social Issues Soap Box”, a community 

of learners are being encouraged to explore, 

analyze and expand their horizons. 

As our emerging city seeks to position 

itself as progressive and forward thinking it 

is clear that this centrally located education 

hub has a key role to play: it gives us space 

to reflect on, learn about and challenge the 

world we see around us - whilst nurturing 

community both in and outside the 

classroom.

FREE digital 

media course, 

with NCEA built in 

For those looking for a role that 

combines artistic and digital talents, then 

this outstanding, FREE, entry level course 

has just been announced by local Training 

Provider Trainme, for those wishing 

to pursue animation, graphic design, 

photography or digital media as a career. 

The course covers introduction to 

multi-media techniques such as video 

production, drawing, animation and 

photography. Students will create their own 

design concepts and collaborate with other 

students on creative projects. 

This course is FREE to students aged 16 

to 19 and they only have to have NCEA 1 

to join. Students without NCEA 1 can be 

admitted, if they show artistic or digital 

aptitude. 

“Many feel that school is not working for 

them or they left without qualifications,” 

says Rhys Pollard, Marketer with tertiary 

educator Trainme. “While not necessarily 

academically minded, they do have artistic 

talents and are very much into digital 

technology.” 

“This FREE six-month Trainme course, 

combines these in a very hands-on,

practical way, giving them an intro into 

various digital media. This way, they can 

decide which direction to pursue as their 

career focus.” 

“As an NZQA approved programme, 

NCEA credits are built in, so if they apply 

themselves, they can graduate with a New 

Zealand Certificate in Arts and Design 

Level 2, as well as gaining credits towards 

NCEA level 1 or 2,” says Pollard. 

“NCEA results will depend on how many 

credits they bring to the course to start 

with, but as it’s a fun subject, it won’t feel 

like school at all.” 

Successful graduates from this 

programme could pathway into higher 

study in media arts, which could include 

graphic design, video production, 

photography or one of the many emerging 

digital-based careers. Places are limited, so 

students are encouraged to apply as soon as 

they can.

SELWYN TIMES 


CONTRASTING COLOURS: Citrus production should be in full swing during winter. Winter flowering annuals such as primulas and azaleas should be blooming. 

Tasks to tackle the winter blues 

THE MIDDLE of winter is upon 

us; air and soil temperatures are 

low and prevailing winds make it 

a challenging time in the garden. 

However, it’s not all doom and 

gloom with the colourful appearance 

of blooming azaleas, 

camellias, daphne, early flowering 

rhododendrons and flowering 

cherries brightening any gardening 

blues. 

Flower and rose gardens 

Winter flowering annuals 

will be at their very best in July, 

with primulas, violas, pansies, 

calendulas and cineraria’s in full 

bloom. Regularly snip off finished 

flowers (deadheading) on these 

plants to encourage continual 

flowering. 

Your hydrangeas may be starting 

to look a little worse for wear. 

They grow very large and do require 

heavy pruning and thinning. 

Remove old wood completely as 

there will be ample new growth 

in spring. Make sure you cut just 

above a node as it is from here that 

spring growth will appear. 

If you have roses, complete 

your annual pruning, especially 

on bush or standards that produce 

flowers late into early winter 

such as Iceberg. Remove all dead 

and weak growth, clean out the 

GET CUTTING: Hydrangeas need heavy pruning and thinning. 

centre of plants and prune to 

outward facing buds. Add fresh 

compost to the soil around the 

rose plant, but do not fertilise 

until spring arrives. 

Vege patch 

In the vege patch, continue 

planting and harvesting broccoli, 

brussels sprouts, cabbages, cauliflower, 

silverbeet and spinach. 

Where soil conditions allow, you 

can start preparing the soil for 

spring planting. In late July, chop 

up and dig in green manure crops 

like lupins or mustard. 

Spraying fruit trees 

In warmer, sheltered areas, 

citrus production should be in 

full swing, with clementine mandarins, 

lemons, limes and navel 

oranges all now maturing. Check 

your trees while picking fruit 

for any overcrowding or weak 

branches that should be removed. 

Check for any rootstock growth 

and prune where required. For 

colder climates, use frost cloths to 

protect frost-tender citrus. 

Give fruit trees a second winter 

clean up. Spray with a copper 

compound or lime sulphur to 

kill any overwintering fungal 

diseases. 

Berries 

Prune your blackberries, boysenberries, 

loganberries, or raspberries. 

Cut out all old canes and 

any weak spindly growth. New 

season strong canes should then 

be tied up on wires or fences to 

help support this summer’s crop. 

Finish your strawberry plantings 

this month. Purchase new 

plants or obtain young plants 

(runners) from the previous 

season strawberry plants. For 

the home garden, plant at least 

20 strawberry plants to ensure 

plenty of fresh strawberries for 

the whole family.

Incorporating show homes 

in your planning process 

There are many things to think about when you’re 

considering building a new home. 

9 

Browsing show homes is a fantastic way 

to get you thinking about practicalities, 

needs, aesthetics and your wish list! Here 

are a few consideration’s to help spark your 

planning process. 

• What is your exterior style? What kind 

of homes do you like? Look around and 

take a mental note of what you are drawn 

to most. 

• What kind of exterior materials do you 

like? Once you’ve worked out the look 

you like, research what materials are 

available and find out about durability. 

• How will you use your house? It’s 

important to most people to have a good 

indoor/outdoor flow and attractive, 

sheltered outdoor living. Imagine your 

home in various seasons. 

• Landscaping is important. Look around 

and consider what you like and don’t like. 

Are you a structured formal garden type 

or do you like a contemporary native 

style? 

• Sustainability and future-proofing 

aren’t just buzzwords anymore. It’s 

very important for your new home to 

be environmentally friendly. Research 

insulation requirements, solar hot water 

heating, ventilation options and new 

technology to ensure your home will be 

affordable to run. 

• Interior décor is really exciting. This is 

where show homes can really help you get 

to know current trends, colours, beautiful 

furnishings and furniture. Collect home 

magazines and figure out what you’d love 

to emulate. 

• Also, pause to give thought to 

architectural components inside. Do you 

remember a raised ceiling? What kind of 

finishing do top homes use and which 

styles are you drawn to? 

• Heating is also a consideration. Have a 

look at what show homes are offering. 

• Kitchens form the heart of the house. 

Show homes give you insight into the 

latest styles, materials and storage 

facilities available. 

• Bathrooms are another big component. 

They need to be as luxurious as you can 

make them, so start dreaming. 

Kitchens form the heart of 

the house. Show homes 

give you insight into the 

latest styles, materials and 

storage facilities available.

Presenting your home for sale? 

The presentation of your home 

doesn’t mean spending thousands 

on an upgrade either! So why 

wouldn’t you want to do everything 

possible to make it appealing to 

prospective purchasers? 

Street appeal 

The exterior of your home is the first 

thing buyers will see, so the property 

needs to look well-kept and inviting. Take 

a look at your place from the street and 

see it through a buyer’s eyes. So, cut the 

lawns, trim trees, plants and hedges, add 

some garden lights and place a nice pot or 

plant by the front door. Ensure the house 

exterior is cleaned or freshened with new 

paint if necessary, hose down drives, paths 

and fences, put stylish new numbers on 

the house and perhaps buy a funky new 

letter box! 

Make an entrance 

Even if your entrance or hallway is 

small, you can still give it some wow! A 

large mirror adds light and makes an 

entrance look twice the size. Fresh flowers, 

candles or a stylish piece of art create an 

inviting first impression. Ensure floors are 

clean whether timber, tiles or carpet. 

Create space 

Light, air and space are three key 

factors in presenting a home to the 

best advantage. Open up curtains 

and windows and use lamps and light 

fittings for mood and ambience. Arrange 

furniture to maximise space and remove 

items that make the room appear 

cramped. 

Fresh feel 

Freshen rooms with new paint if 

necessary, but aim for neutral tones which 

are more versatile for buyers. Add a splash 

of colour in cushions, throws, artwork or 

a vase of flowers. Invest in a new duvet or 

bedspread and always make the bed! 

Clear out clutter 

Storage space sells but clutter 

complicates! Clean out your cupboards, 

shelves and garage, and get rid of 

unnecessary clutter. Buyers inspect 

wardrobes and cupboards so tidy them up 

and reduce the number of photos, books, 

nicknacks on display – they distract 

buyers, too! 

Beautify the bathroom 

Replace or resurface fittings if necessary, 

but otherwise you can simply beautify 

your bathroom with thorough and 

fastidious cleaning, thick opulent towels, 

a tray of beautiful soaps and some lush, 

green plants. Invest in a new shower 

curtain or laundry hamper, and maybe a 

sleek, modern towel rail. 

Clean clean clean 

Cleaning is a mandatory part of 

selling your home: have carpets, rugs 

and upholstery commercially cleaned 

and sanitised, clean drapes and blinds to 

look like new, polish glass and furniture, 

wash down all surfaces and fittings in 

the bathroom and kitchen, clean all light 

fittings, wash windows inside and out, 

deodorise your home to eliminate any 

odours from pets, cooking or smoke. 

Outdoor spaces 

Even a small patio, deck or terrace 

can be enhanced with a café table and 

chairs. Add some colourful accessories – 

placemats, candle lamps, pots and plants, 

and there you have an extra living area. 

If space is not limited, hang a hammock, 

string some outdoor lights, position a 

garden sculpture or create a water feature 

that buyers will love. 

Hire a handyman 

Squeaking doors, dripping taps, cracked 

tiles, broken fences, leaking toilets or 

appliances that don’t work are a turn-off 

for buyers. If you can’t repair or replace 

things yourself, then hire a handyman to 

make sure everything in your home works 

as it should. 

Finish it first 

Buyers want to see a finished home, 

not one that’s still being fixed! So finish 

everything before you list your home 

for sale, then launch it onto the market 

when it looks its absolute best – you have 

nothing to lose and everything to gain!

[Edition datE] 

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections 

in the Selwyn District 

Get your home noticed 

It takes more than good photography to help sell a 

home. You’ll want your home to look attractive and 

appealing for a potential home buyer so check out 

these following tips to get your home ready for real 

estate photography and open homes... 

• First impressions count: Clear away 

shoes, coats and other items to make your 

front entrance look clean and welcoming. 

• Create natural light: Open all curtains 

and/or blinds; turn on lights for open 

home days. 

• Keep it clean: A clean house and 

well cared for section will be far more 

appealing to a buyer; get rid of cobwebs; 

shine the taps; polish the windows and 

doorknobs; wash and vacuum the floors. 

• Stay fresh: Don’t allow stale cooking 

and living smells to linger – open windows 

daily, display a vase of sweet smelling 

flowers, and if need be an occasional spray 

with a can of air freshener. Don’t burn 

incense as the buyer may wonder what you 

are trying to cover up. 

• De-clutter every room: This is the 

most important. Clean counters, tables, 

coffee tables and wall units. Clutter really 

attracts the eye and takes away from the 

beauty of the home. 

• Kitchen/Dining: Remove all 

unnecessary items; keep the benches clean 

and clear; remove all used tea towels and 

dishcloths; use flowers to brighten up the 

dining table. 

• Bathroom: We all have clutter in 

the bathroom – toothbrushes, creams, 

toothpaste etc. Before the photographer 

arrives (or potential buyers) put all the 

clutter into a small box, which can easily 

be stored out of sight. Place clean colour 

co-ordinated towels, neatly folded, onto 

the towel rail. 

• Bedroom: Use colour coordinated 

bedcovers and linen; plump up your 

pillows; straighten the valance; put all 

clothing and person items out of sight. 

• Office: It’s often hard to keep this room 

perfectly tidy but try to keep it as orderly 

as possible. 

• Keep corners free of clutter: This 

helps make a room look bigger and 

therefore more spacious. 

• Make your room look bigger: 

rearrange furniture to create more floor 

space. 

• Add colour: If your house is neutral 

in colour, try adding small touches of 

colour with fresh flowers. Another quick 

color fix is to use cushions but don’t go 

overboard. Red works well against neutral 

backgrounds as do bright blues and 

greens. Just remember to keep it minimal, 

pick one colour per room, and it will work. 

• Move toys out of living areas: Keep 

them in the rumpus room or the children’s 

bedrooms. 

• Boxes or small storage units: Stack 

them in one area or the spare bedroom. 

Better not to take a picture of the spare 

bedroom than have boxes or storage 

boxes in each room. Better yet – stack 

them against one wall and this way the 

photographer can avoid that wall when 

taking the picture. 

• Check your cords, cables and wires: 

Tuck and hide those cords away or simply 

unplug them. 

• Keep pets out of sight: Prospective 

buyers don’t want pets leaping at them 

or they may be even allergic to pet hair, 

so keep them out of sight or away for 

photography and open home days. 

• Clean up your section and garage: 

Keep lawns mowed, gardens weeded, hoses 

and wheelbarrow stored out of sight; take 

excess rubbish to the tip; and arrange your 

garage to look as spacious and orderly as 

possible. 

Don’t burn incense as the 

buyer may wonder what you 

are trying to cover up.
