“We had a wish list for the type of property
we wanted – character, appeal, close to a
main route, close to population centres,
business potential and land. The only box it
didn’t tick was a greater area of land but the
ceiling roses and other features made up for
it. We just had to buy it,” says Bruce.
While it wasn’t exactly the timeline
they had discussed, the deal was settled by
February 2014 and John moved over to begin
the landscaping and readying the property
for their new venture. Bruce had the task of
tidying up the Perth businesses and settled

landscaped courtyards, as well as browsing
in the garden centre. The garden centre is
housed in the old stables and apart from a
range of garden supplies has a large selection
of plants, ornaments, garden features and
items suitable for gifts or decoration. “While
John looks after the café, we are both
passionate gardeners. I stock the type of
plants that grow well here such as rhodos,
camellias and other cottagey plants and I am
incredibly passionate about them for their
range of ongoing colour. Western Australian
flowers and plants are generally quite bland
until they flower,” Bruce says. Their home
in Australia was in the hills so the altitude
allowed them to grow a diverse range of
plants including ones he sees here, but he
has had to refresh his knowledge on English
trees and New Zealand natives.

Paddon pleased
with fifth place
at Rally Australia
Local rally driver Hayden Paddon says “Our 5th overall
at Rally Australia rates higher than our podium in Sardegna.
We showed good speed and were more consistent. Last
year we finished over three minutes behind the winner.
This year the gap was 55 seconds.
“While we had a mainly trouble-free rally, it was not
all plain sailing. The conditions on Friday morning caught
us out a little with our tyre decision. On Friday afternoon
the car was handling very strangely and we discovered
that we were carrying a front diff problem. With a new
diff fitted, some setup changes and the correct tyre
decision for Saturday morning, we won both the morning
stages– climbing to 5th, within 10 seconds of the lead.
On the repeat run, the road had swept off to become
the hardest and most abrasive I have seen. In the past I
would have taken it a little easier to look after the tyres,
but this time I forgot about the tyres and pushed. At the
30km point, we were only 1.5 seconds down on leader
Sebastion Ogier. Unfortunately with 15-20km to go, our
front tyres were down to the canvas on the inside. We
then dropped 10 seconds but I’m proud that we had the
speed to that point and that we at least tried. We started
Sunday 20 seconds back in 5th, but we were never going
to catch the leaders so we ended up 5th, a result we can
be happy with.”
“We now have three days in New Zealand before
leaving for Corsica. With two tarmac rallies in a row,
we need to improve on this surface to become more
competitive. Ultimately we have to be fast on all surfaces
if we ever want to fight for the world title.”

Yens returns after partial gap
year as US camp instructor
Former Geraldine High
School student Yens Van der
Sanden recently returned
from a trip to the United States
where he worked at Camp
Becket in Massachusetts for
three months.
Yens applied for various
positions at American
camps at the end of last
year, receiving three offers
of employment. After an
interview at Camp Becket in
Massachusetts he chose to
work there as a ropes-course
instructor. “There wasn’t one
thing I didn’t enjoy while
I was there,” says Yens. “It
really was the opportunity of
a lifetime.”
Camp Becket is a camp
for boys aged eight to 15 and
offers a variety of activities and
a positive environment that
reinforces respect, teamwork
and friendship.
“It’s a real boys-to-men
kind of camp. By the time the
boys leave they’ve earned the
title of Becket Man.”
Yens was in charge of
ropes course lessons for
groups of around eight boys
at a time. “A lot of it was
helping the kids to challenge
themselves and push past
their own limits.”
Overseas travellers such as
Yens an der Sanden at Camp Becket, Massachusetts. Photo: Supplied.
Yens ran most of the activities, while the camp
counsellors were mostly American youth who
had attended the camp themselves.
Yens heard about the opportunity to
become a camp instructor through word of
mouth and began to do some research in
2014. He found further information on online
site, campamerica.co.nz, and began to apply
for positions. Yens was hired for his particular
skills in ropes course.
“Everybody who got hired was chosen
because they had skills in the area they were
looking for employment in, whether it was
watersports or creative arts, or ropes course
like me. It’s important if you’re applying to
play to your skills.”
The job provided Yens with a way to travel
overseas without spending as much money, as
he was able to pay off some expenses with the
pay he received for his work. “It’s important
to remember that it’s a job. I had so much fun
over there but I was still there to work.”
Yens graduated from high school in 2014
and chose to spend 2015 as a partial gap year,
in order to return home, resume working and
save money. “I really want other teenagers to
know that this is an option. There’s so much
pressure in your final years of high school to
figure out what you want to do with your life.
Sometimes it comes across like going straight
to university is your only option, when really
there’s distance learning or going straight into
the workforce; there’s the option of a gap year
or even a partial gap year like I chose.”
After using 2015 to cement his plans, Yens
has decided to attend Victoria University in
2016 to study commerce.

Up until the middle of this year, the New Zealand share
market along with many international markets had enjoyed
a prolonged period of strong performance. However,
uncertainties about the refinancing of Greece’s public debt in
June, followed by increasing concerns about market stability
in China, led to a sharp change in investor sentiment. Over
the last eight to ten weeks, negative days in the markets have
outnumbered positive days for the first sustained period since
the second half of 2011.
Hand-in-hand with the deteriorating market climate,
the media has been quick to whip up the usual emotive
headlines accompanying concerning forecasts about what
might possibly lie ahead. Scary headlines might help sell
newspapers because they confront our emotional insecurities
but, the truth is, no-one knows what lies ahead.
In a world of seasonal cycles, business cycles, economic
cycles and election cycles, periodic market weakness is as
inevitable as night following day. So it’s unfortunate that as
soon as the market outlook starts to look the least bit cloudy,
the doom-merchants are given so much airplay.
Given the propensity for the media to overstate or
overemphasise the prevailing market issues, here are some
thoughts in relation to recent events which will hopefully
provide some balance:
• According to Google, “global jitters” was used in the
international media 933 times last week to describe why
the market is weak. That’s astonishingly uninformative. It’s
the equivalent of a doctor diagnosing you with “general
ill health”.
• The odds of dying in a car accident during your lifetime
in New Zealand are approximately 1 in 175. That rarely
makes headlines. The odds an investor will experience
a significant market crash in their lifetime is 100%.
However, when markets fall, the media portray it as
something incredibly rare and dangerous.
• President Obama was briefed after the US market fell
10%. What the?!! I guarantee he is not briefed whenever
it rises 10%. Asymmetric emotional responses provide
tremendous insight as to why investing is so difficult.
• If the current market decline keeps up, it could be as bad
as the 2011, 2010, and 2004 downturns that no one now
remembers or cares about.
• When no one knows what the economy or share market
will do next, people say there’s high uncertainty. This
differs from low uncertainty, when people just think they
know what the economy and share market will do next.
Unfortunately they are invariably proven wrong, which
they subsequently blame on high uncertainty.
• “Be greedy when others are fearful” sounds obvious during
bull markets, smart during small pullbacks, still reasonable
during medium downturns, and downright impossible
during big downturns.
• S&P 500 companies earned an approximate US$38 billion
in profits over the last fortnight. Over time, that number will
matter far more than the market returns delivered during
the last few weeks.
• The New Zealand share market is down a lot in the last
month, up a little in the last year, up a lot over the last
six years, and up a little over the last ten years. Pick your
narrative and you can tell a persuasive story, either good
or bad.
• Daily market prices are recorded by computers fighting to
be a split second closer to market exchanges than other
computers. However, business values are determined by
7.4 billion people waking up every morning trying to make
a better life for themselves and their families. If you bet
on the latter and ignore the former, you’ve got half this
game figured out.
The biggest impediments to a comfortable retirement are
impatience, pessimism, gullibility, the self-interest of agents
and salespeople, ignorance of the power of compounding
returns, and overconfidence. All six come out in full force
during market downturns.
Market weakness is never fun. It tests us emotionally and
it erodes our confidence. But it is also a natural and recurring
fact of markets. We can’t expect the benefits of market highs
without experiencing some market weakness along the
way. We need to accept and understand this fact so that
when markets do take an occasional and inevitable turn for
the worse, we don’t let our short term fears and insecurities
override the soundness of our long term strategic planning.

John Hayhoe: from Grenadier Guard
and Savoy chef to Geraldine vicar
“When I was 14, I told my
family and school I wanted
to become a vicar. No one
thought it strange because of
who I was. But it took some
30 years to get there – to get
the confidence to do it.”
John Hayhoe’s route to
serving the Anglican parish of
Geraldine was meandering,
but it helped him to build his
bent for leadership and love
of community.
His father’s naval career
meant a peripatetic childhood
– England’s south coast,
Sydney, Takapuna, Rome –
until boarding school gave
seven years’ anchorage. The
Royal Hospital School by
the River Stour in Suffolk,
with a strong seafaring
tradition, focus on chapel and
choral prestige, fostered his
temperament and interests.
“By eighteen, I hadn’t
changed my mind [about
studying theology], but I
wasn’t ready,” John says.
So at 19 years, “I was
commissioned into the
Grenadier Guards, an infantry
regiment that, in addition to
the ordinary infantry roles,
has public service, which
includes the ceremonial
guard for Buckingham
Palace, St James’s Palace,
Windsor Castle and the
Tower of London. Guarding
Buckingham Palace was my
first duty.
“I served a total of 17
years: in the Middle East
twice, in Jordan and Oman;
in Northern Ireland five times;
and West Germany twice,
in counter-insurgency.” By
age 25, he was a major,
commanding a company
of 500 in South Oman and
had received two campaign
medals.
Then, still not ready for
the church, John entered

but I didn’t have the confidence to join the near the first place he’d had a settled life.

Growing your own: Try new ways
Gather half-a-dozen gardeners in a room and they’ll
disagree on the best way to grow things. That’s the beauty of
gardening – there’s no right or wrong and experimentation
is one of gardening’s greatest joys. It’s exciting and builds
knowledge and confidence.
We’re always trying out new things in our backyard. If
someone tells me I won’t succeed I try anyway, just to see
for myself.
Take our lettuces for instance. I purchased lettuce seed
last year and tried letting them set and drop seed naturally
to see what would happen. I watched in wonder as my
lettuce transformed from the low-growing leafy green we
all recognise, to something long and slender that reached
toward the sky. I couldn’t believe I hadn’t properly observed
a lettuce flower and set seed before. It bore the tiniest flowers
then bent over towards the ground. From there hundreds of
fluffy seeds were let loose. I scattered some organic compost
and made sure there was plenty of bare ground near where
my lettuce lent, but I needn’t have bothered. I now have
large healthy lettuce seedlings coming up everywhere, even
among the grass.
The seeds germinated in far colder conditions than I
expected and more are continually germinating. A constant
supply of lettuce will be the outcome I hope, with little effort
from me.
Coriander, kale, parsley, silverbeet, Asian greens – are
some of our other self-seeded gems popping up everywhere.
But what if some plants set seed at a faster rate or don’t look
exactly like the original? I’m not bothered if they do; that
brings a new adventure. Plus we’ve learnt a great deal along
the way and had fun – all thanks to letting some little plants
set seed.

With a dry summer looming, now’s the time to stock up
on mulch (it provides a multitude of benefits which I’ll reveal
later) and sow plants to provide shade – such as sugar-snap
peas growing up bamboo trellis. Plant potatoes and yams.
Continue sowing your favourites such as coriander, spinach,
rocket, carrots, beetroot, lettuce and spring onions. Plant out
brassicas. Frost-tender plants (zucchini, pumpkin and tomato,
for example) can be started indoors. Fill several seed trays with
herbs (or split and transplant) – they make great companions.
Plant citrus. Sow a few extras of your favourite edibles to let

Merivale Fine Arts opens in Geraldine
Merivale Fine Arts has
relocated to Geraldine. Owner
Donald Goulter decided
to shift from the business’
namesake Christchurch
district a year ago and says, “I
love it here. What is there not
to love about it? Everything
fits.”
He recently reopened his
15-year-old business in the
Four Peaks Plaza opposite the
Berry Barn. Additional to its
art sales, Merivale Fine Arts
offers tutorials, purchasing,
valuations, conservation,
framing, crating and transport,
and restoration, including
ceramics.
Donald’s background is
stock farming and art. Both
vocations are in the blood
but art captured him. “All
generations of my family
have produced at least one
artist,” he says. As a young
man he studied drawing and
painting with graduates of
Saint Petersburg Academy
of Arts, formally named the
Russian Academy of Arts.
Donald gradually
established his companion
craft of trading new and
historic art of international,
national and local
provenance. He became a
member of the UK’s Fine
Art Trade Guild in 2007.

notified
Works by local painters such as Austen Deans and A Greathead, and other New Zealand artists
including Bill Hammond, Peter Beadle, and Tom Esplin are available at Merivale Fine Arts in

historical and contemporary works, is open at Four Peaks Plaza. Photo: Jan Finlayson.
painters and numerous others, including
Donald himself.
“We’ve got so many good art works here,”
he says. “I believe in honesty. I’ll never stock
an artwork I’d not hang in my own home.”
His views on art, distillations of years’
practising and pondering, are evident in
the gallery’s emphasis on what he calls
“traditional realism”. They are also central
to his art tuition.
“The art I teach is not modern art. It’s the
old-fashioned discipline of drawing every
day because it’s such fun. It’s painting only
in realism. It’s from realism that abstract
expression developed – but the trunk of the
tree is realism.”
He may be firm in his artistic standpoint
but welcomes casual as well as regular
attendance at his twice-weekly lessons. “Just
turn up, Thursdays and Saturdays, eleven till
two. There’s no registration. And for the first
lesson, materials are free.”

Behind the sporting scene: Gran West
Many followers of rugby will know of Ihaia West, the
red-headed Number 10 from Hawke’s Bay with a prodigious
boot and a reputation for acceleration and attacking nous.
However, while the Havelock North-raised player might
be firmly entrenched in the Hawke’s Bay and Auckland
Blues rugby scenes, one of his biggest supporters lives in
Geraldine.
Heather West, or Gran to Ihaia and his 12 West cousins,
came to Geraldine 60 years ago as a young bride and has lived
here ever since, raising her five children with late husband,
Tom, and now supporting her grandchildren and six greatgrandchildren.
Sport comes naturally to the West family. Mrs West was a
tennis, badminton and golf player. However, her children all
played hockey. Ihaia’s dad, Simon, was a South Canterbury
representative back in the day and is now the Napier Boys’
High School sports director; recently coaching the school’s
First XI to 11th place at New Zealand’s premier school-boy
tournament, the Rankin Cup. Another family member, Anna
Cochrane, has been hitting the sporting headlines too. Cousin
of Ihaia, she is a successful South Canterbury and Canterbury
tennis player.
A stroll down Mrs West’s hallway is a photographic tribute
to her family. Her “Rogues’ Gallery” is lined with portraits
and wedding photos. There too is Ihaia, wearing the silver
fern of the New Zealand under-20 rugby team and the Maori
All Blacks.
Mrs West is “very proud” of her grandson, although admits
to feeling “rather strange” when he is thrust into rugby’s media
spotlight. Game day is spent supporting Ihaia, regardless of
who he is playing for. Mrs West laughingly admits she even
supports the Blues when Ihaia is playing, although she doesn’t
“necessarily agree with it, especially the Blues”.
As a youngster Ihaia “was always playing with a ball of

Environment Canterbury has notified the proposed
Plan Change 4 (known as the “Omnibus” plan change) to
the Canterbury Land and Water Regional Plan for public
submission. Submissions close on 12 October.
Environment Canterbury Commissioner Peter Skelton
said the changes had been prepared to address issues
identified since the Land & Water Regional plan was
originally notified in 2012.
“Plan Change 4 proposes amendments to the regionwide definitions, policies and rules, minor changes to two
sub-regional sections and minor changes to one of the
objectives in the Land & Water Regional Plan,” Professor
Skelton said. “The amendments have been addressed in
groups to make it simpler for the public to engage in the
changes that concern them.”
The groups are: bores; contaminated land; dewatering
and drainage water; gravel extraction; groundwater and
surface water limits; group and community drinking water
supplies; inanga spawning sites and habitat; sedimentladen water discharges; sewage, wastewater and industrial
and trade wastes; stock exclusion; stormwater discharges;
surface water sampling and monitoring; Tangata Whenua
values; vegetation and earthworks in beds of lakes and
rivers and riparian margins, discharge of floodwaters, and
fine sediment removal from rivers; and water takes and
water supply strategies.
For more information, go to www.ecan.govt.nz/lwrppc4
The Land & Water Regional Plan becomes partly
operative on 1 September 2015. It sets the framework to
implement community aspirations for water through the
Canterbury Water Management Strategy, a communityled approach..
The Land & Water Regional Plan operates at two levels
– a region-wide section and 10 sub-regional sections.
The sub-regional sections implement the region-wide
objectives in the plan in the most appropriate way for
the catchment. For more information go to www.ecan.

scholarship to Hereworth School, a preparatory school for
boys in Havelock North, and later represented Napier Boys’
High School’s firsts in both rugby and cricket. Mrs West says
he “had that talent since he was a little boy”. At age six, Ihaia
“scored a try for Grandad” when he passed away.
Rugby obligations and geography means Mrs West doesn’t
have the opportunity to see much of her grandson these

him as a little boy. “He was cute. Very red-headed; beautiful

Waihi School’s production of
The Three Musketeers
Not many people get
to farewell their job on a
swashbuckling adventure,

Geraldine resident, Waihi
School teacher and annual
production director, Mel

Following 12 years at the

Fire Brigade officers teach
Brownies about home safety
Last week, as part of their
Stepping Out Challenge, the
Brownies visited Geraldine
Fire Station to learn about
safety in the home.
Brownie leader Kim
Dwyer says the Brownies
are already very switched
on about home safety as they
study it at school. However,
she adds, “It is good to go
over and over it.”
Ebony (8) says the visit will
help them get their guiding
badge about keeping safe
and Cassidy (7) now knows
to “close the door when there
is a fire in the house.”
Lily (7) adds, “If something
is plugged in, don’t put
anything metal in there,”
and Alexis (7) says, “We
learned how to light matches
safely.”

Honour roll and Gallipoli model
A model depicting the
ANZAC Gallipoli landings
and an interactive touchscreen
display is accessible to the
public for a short time at
Geraldine Library.
The touchscreen display
contains a roll of honour
of all the men and women
in South Canterbury who
served in World War One.
Liz Broom, Geraldine Library
team leader, says, “There has
been a lot of interest [in the
display].”
The model, made by Tony
Rippin, curator of document
history at South Canterbury
Museum, highlights the
places of most importance to
the South Canterbury story.
Along with the roll of
honour, the display supports
the 100th commemoration
of WWI.
The display will be at
Geraldine Library until midOctober.
