Hundreds<br />
of birds<br />
found<br />
dead in<br />
cemetery<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-<br />
Harding<br />
MYSTERY surrounds hundreds<br />
of birds found dead in a Leeston<br />
cemetery.<br />
But authorities will not be investigating<br />
what caused the birds to<br />
die.<br />
Resident Myles White was out<br />
walking his dog when he found<br />
rings of dead european greenfinches<br />
around the trees at the Ellesmere<br />
Public Cemetery recently.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y were in the process of<br />
dying, squeaking and stuff. It was<br />
bloody gross,” he said.<br />
Environment Canterbury, the<br />
district council, the Department of<br />
Conservation, Forest and Bird and<br />
Green Party MP Eugenie Sage were<br />
contacted by Mr White.<br />
But because the birds are an unprotected<br />
species, the incident has<br />
been deemed a forgotten case.<br />
<strong>The</strong> district council referred the<br />
matter to DOC.<br />
A DOC spokeswoman said it was<br />
not appropriate for it to investigate<br />
because it did not involve public<br />
conservation land or protected<br />
species.<br />

THE<br />
EDITOR’S<br />
DESK News............................. 3-15<br />
A POISONING or a simple case of<br />
diseased birds?<br />
That’s probably the only two<br />
scenarios for the hundreds of dead<br />
and dying birds found in a Leeston<br />
cemetery (see page 1).<br />
<strong>The</strong> authorities don’t seem to<br />
want to know about it, passing<br />
Selwyn Times inquiries onto each<br />
other.<br />
That’s probably because there’s<br />
no carcasses to take samples from<br />
to rule in or rule out the above<br />
theories.<br />
A real whodunnit, you might say.<br />
I suspect we will never know.<br />
But on a positive note, it will be a<br />
big game this Saturday for Darfield<br />
rugby prop Scott McIlroy, who is<br />
playing his 200th game (see page<br />
24).<br />
He was a No 10 in his younger<br />
days but after starting work in a<br />
bakery he progressed to the front<br />
row. I rest my case.<br />

Shocking find in Leeston<br />
•From page 1<br />
However, DOC did do a site<br />
visit at the cemetery.<br />
An Environment Canterbury<br />
spokesman said its jurisdiction<br />
does not cover this type of<br />
incident unless contaminants<br />
reached waterways.<br />
Forest and Bird could not<br />
respond in<br />
time for publication.<br />
Mr White<br />
found the<br />
birds on<br />
Friday, May 27,<br />
at 5.18pm, in<br />
Eugenie<br />
Sage<br />
the cemetery<br />
where they<br />
were roosting.<br />
But when he<br />
came back the following Monday,<br />
the birds had mysteriously<br />
disappeared from the cemetery.<br />
“Everyone has been like, ‘oh,<br />
that’s horrible’ but nothing has<br />
been done,” Mr White said.<br />
He suspected the birds had<br />
died from poison to protect<br />
crops in the area.<br />
Ms Sage said there was a high<br />
chance the birds were poisoned<br />
with alphachloralose, which the<br />
Auckland SPCA has been calling<br />
to be banned from public<br />
sale since 2002.<br />
“It is too readily available<br />
and potentially someone has<br />
poisoned all these birds without<br />
thinking about the impacts on<br />
them,” she said.<br />
European greenfinches were<br />
introduced into New Zealand<br />
from Britain between 1862 and<br />
1868.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y feed mostly on seeds, including<br />
crops and are regarded<br />
as a pest in some districts.<br />
But Leeston farmer Alastair<br />
Barnett said it would be unusual<br />
for anyone to poison birds<br />
at this time of the year.<br />
“All the crops are generally<br />
established. <strong>The</strong> only time you<br />
poison birds is when crops are<br />
planting so it shouldn’t be happening<br />
this time of the year,”<br />
he said.<br />
SADDENING:<br />
Hundreds<br />
of european<br />
greenfinches<br />
were found<br />
dead at the<br />
Ellesmere<br />
Public<br />
Cemetery.<br />
Mr Barnett said it is possible<br />
the birds were under stress with<br />
the winter weather and may<br />
have got a disease.<br />

Third offence<br />
for drink driver<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
A MAN caught driving at<br />
164km/h while four times the<br />
legal limit in May has been caught<br />
drink driving before.<br />
Brett John Owen, 41, recorded<br />
1025mcg/L after he was pulled<br />
over for speeding on May 20 near<br />
Motukarara at about 5pm.<br />
<strong>The</strong> legal limit is 250mcg/L.<br />
Yesterday, in the Christchurch<br />
District Court he pleaded guilty<br />
to driving with excess breath<br />
alcohol and driving at excessive<br />
speed.<br />
He was sentenced to six months<br />
loss of licence, fined $1800 plus<br />
court costs and sentenced to nine<br />
months supervision.<br />
His lawyer applied for him to<br />
have an alcohol interlock device<br />
fitted to his car after the six<br />
months suspension, which the<br />
judge granted. It will be fitted for<br />
12 months.<br />
He had previously been convicted<br />
twice for drink-driving,<br />
most recently in September 2013,<br />
where he recorded 1214mcg/L.<br />
When asked what his excuse for<br />
driving so recklessly, Owen said:<br />
“I just put my foot down.”<br />
Senior Sergeant Pete Stills said it<br />
was one of the highest readings he<br />
could remember.<br />
“It is complete stupidity,” he<br />
said<br />

Chance to eat like the mayor<br />
• By Amelia Christensen-Rose<br />
MEALS EATEN by Sam Broughton and<br />
Amy Adams, as children, will be put to the<br />
test in a MasterChef-style competition.<br />
<strong>The</strong> competition is to help launch a cookbook<br />
created by the year 13 commerce class<br />
at Darfield High School.<br />
Mayor Broughton’s mother made him<br />
and his two other brothers chicken<br />
enchiladas when they were kids. It’s a<br />
“really yummy” recipe that he remembers<br />
quite vividly. It was full with tomatoes, a<br />
food the mayor didn’t like, and it got him<br />
thinking about foods he likes and doesn’t<br />
like.<br />
ENTERPRISE: Students from Darfield High School’s commerce class who created<br />
the cook book. (Left to right) – Brett Langlands, Stephanee Lomas, Caitlin Fraser, and<br />

Sometimes the dinner could create a divide.<br />
“I remember sitting around the table and being<br />
pleased when there was more than one serving,”<br />
he said.<br />
With no kitchen at the moment, Mayor<br />
Broughton hasn’t cooked the enchiladas in a while<br />
but they will definitely be made once it’s built.<br />
For Selwyn MP Amy Adams a cookbook isn’t<br />
complete without something sweet so she supplied<br />
her favourite lemon slice recipe that she<br />
came across in a newspaper.<br />
Her favourite memories attached to the slice is<br />
making it with her two kids who she has shared<br />
the recipe with.<br />
Darfield High School students Stephanee<br />
Lomas, Caitlin Fraser, Christopher Moffat,<br />
Tane Nikora, Brett Langlands and Bilgun<br />
Norjinkhand chose to create the Secret Family<br />
Recipes cookbook as part of the Young Enterprise<br />
Scheme after finding out that traditional<br />
family recipes are being lost and forgotten over<br />
the years.<br />
“This can be linked to there not being a hard<br />
copy of the recipes your grandparents made, as they<br />
know them off by heart,” Stephanee said: “Another<br />
reason is because in modern day society we can<br />
easily look up a recipe online instead of dusting<br />
off grandmas old recipe book and looking for the<br />
rainy-day casserole you remember getting as a kid<br />
whenever you visited.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> book includes recipes from the students<br />
families, family friends and members of the community<br />
along with photos from the Selwyn and<br />
Canterbury area taken by Stephanee.<br />
“We have tried to capture the beauty of the<br />
Selwyn and Canterbury areas,” Stephanee said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> launch is in the Darfield High School food<br />
room tomorrow from 6.15 to 8.15pm.<br />

In Brief<br />
NEW FIRE SERVICE<br />
<strong>The</strong> district council along with<br />
other councils will no longer<br />
be responsible for issuing fire<br />
permits or responding to rural<br />
fires. Volunteer fire brigades<br />
will continue to respond to fires<br />
but they will now be part of the<br />
new national organisation Fire<br />
and Emergency New Zealand<br />
FENZ. One function that will<br />
continue to be carried out by<br />
the district council until <strong>July</strong>, 1,<br />
2018, is investigating complaints<br />
about vegetation which creates<br />
a fire risk. If you need to<br />
apply for a fire permit you can<br />
email firepermit.enquiry@<br />
fireandemergency.nz or phone<br />
0800 658 628. Residents<br />
reporting a fire will still phone<br />

two sessions of the water<br />
management seminar the<br />

and the level of interest<br />
shown.<br />

how we got to the current<br />

on <strong>July</strong> 6, Dr Tim Davie,<br />

look forward to more community<br />
discussion on these<br />
important issues.<br />
<strong>The</strong> seminars are being<br />
held every second Thursday<br />
until September. I encourage<br />
you to attend this one,<br />
tell your family and friends,<br />
and diary the next seminar<br />
for <strong>July</strong> 20. That one will<br />
cover water quality, another<br />
topic our community and<br />
the zone committee cares<br />
about greatly.<br />
Also look out for the<br />
booklet we are preparing<br />
that will cover the Selwyn<br />
Te Waihora water management<br />
story and many of the<br />
points made in the seminar<br />
series.<br />
<strong>The</strong> zone committee is<br />
strongly focused on solutions<br />
to the water management<br />
challenges we face.<br />
However, we don’t have all<br />
the answers and forums<br />
like these seminars and the<br />
Coes Ford workshop some<br />
time ago will help us all get<br />
to where we want to go.<br />

Bid to reinstate<br />
Darfield Xmas event<br />
• By Amelia Christensen-Rose<br />
IT’S BEEN two years since the Country<br />
Christmas in the Park was held at<br />
Darfield. But now people are wanting to<br />
bring it back.<br />
After a change in personnel, it became<br />
too hard for the small number of those<br />
involved, to stage it.<br />
At last Monday’s meeting, the Malvern<br />
Community Board was asked if it could be<br />
involved in planning another event.<br />
Deputy chairman Kerry Pauling said<br />
the board was still in discussion about it<br />
but they are “reasonably keen” to help out.<br />
“It’s a worthwhile family outing,” Mr<br />
Pauling said.<br />
However, Mr Pauling thinks a few<br />
things need to be changed. “It needs to be<br />
an event for all ages,” he said.<br />
Mr Pauling also said the event needs to<br />
be more about Christmas and less of a<br />
fair.<br />
Mayor Sam Broughton is on board with<br />
bringing back Country Christmas in the<br />
Park too.<br />
“It’s a great event and it would be really<br />
cool to have it back again.”<br />

Police armed with more guns<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
FRONTLINE POLICE in<br />
Canterbury now have more<br />
weaponry to deal with dangerous<br />
incidents.<br />
<strong>The</strong> number of rifles and handguns<br />
have increased in police<br />
vehicles to give officers more fire<br />
power.<br />
<strong>The</strong> initiative is being rolled<br />
out across New Zealand in response<br />
to the increasing number<br />
of armed incidents.<br />
It comes at a time when the Police<br />
Association – the police officers’<br />
union – released a 30-page<br />
document last week supporting<br />
the general arming of police.<br />
<strong>The</strong> NZ Police don’t support<br />
the general arming.<br />
<strong>The</strong> report has been distributed<br />
to political parties to let them<br />
know of rank and file police<br />
views on arming.<br />
Police Association president<br />
Chris Cahill said last week the<br />
increase in criminals confronting<br />
officers with firearms means police<br />
should be armed all the time.<br />
“If there isn’t something done<br />
around the proliferation of firearms<br />
in the hands of criminals,<br />
then it is inevitable police will<br />
have to carry firearms on them<br />
(at all times) as well,” he said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> increase in the number of<br />
guns available to frontline police<br />
was an indication full general<br />
arming like in Australia could be<br />
a reality in the future, he said.<br />
Last year, it was revealed firearms<br />
were being stolen to order<br />
in Canterbury and falling into<br />
the hands of hardened criminals.<br />
Handguns were being sold for<br />
$1000 on the black market.<br />
Police are now regularly finding<br />
firearms in vehicles they stop.<br />
But police national manager of<br />
response and operation, Superintendent<br />
Chris Scahill, last week<br />
said the current environment<br />
does not support officers being<br />
armed.<br />
“Who knows what the future<br />
will hold, but right now we don’t<br />
feel there is a need. But like anything,<br />
we will continue to review<br />
and assess the environment and<br />
society’s expectations,” he said.<br />
Replied Mr Cahill: “We will<br />
continue to lobby for officers to<br />
carry firearms all the time,” he<br />
said.<br />
Superintendent Scahill said the<br />
initiative to increase the amount<br />
of weaponry was based around<br />
having more police available to<br />
deal with armed incidents.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> whole idea is to increase<br />
the number of sworn staff who<br />
can respond to armed scenarios.<br />
<strong>The</strong>n we needed to increase the<br />
number of weapons available to<br />
those officers,” he said.<br />
“This allows any response officer<br />
on duty to be able to have<br />
access to those weapons,” he said.<br />
Canterbury-based Inspector<br />
Bryan Buck said: “Criminals<br />
have more access than ever to<br />
firearms and we need to be able<br />
to deal with situations like that<br />
safely for the staff involved and<br />
the public.<br />
“This enables us to react<br />
quickly to worst-case scenarios.”<br />
Officers have been undergoing<br />
training in the past 12 months to<br />
prepare for the increased number<br />
of firearms, he said.<br />
Police have dealt with a number<br />
of serious armed incidents in<br />
recent times.<br />
In February Murray James<br />
Allan was shot in the face after<br />
he pointed a blank firing pistol at<br />
police in Woolston.<br />
Douglas Anderson Roake<br />
recently pleaded guilty to six<br />
armed robberies of bars and the<br />
MORE GUNS:<br />
Each frontline<br />
officer will have<br />
access to a<br />
Bushmaster<br />
XM15 M4A3<br />
Patrolman and<br />
Glock 17 pistol.<br />
Officers could be<br />
armed full-time<br />
in the future.<br />
shooting of two women near<br />
Rolleston on April 19.<br />
A task force was formed to<br />
catch Roake, who amassed more<br />
than $115,000 in his one-man<br />
crime wave. He will be sentenced<br />
on August 23.<br />
Since August 2016 nine bars<br />
have been robbed at gunpoint,<br />
while dairies, petrol stations and<br />
bottle stores have been the targets<br />
of armed robberies also.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Police Association believes<br />
the time is right to have all officers<br />
carrying firearms, but police<br />
say it is not needed.<br />
Wouldn’t you<br />
rather be in demand<br />
around the world?<br />

Restaurant and bar boom<br />
CHEERS: <strong>The</strong> Laboratory<br />
owner Martin Bennett thinks<br />
the Lincoln township will<br />
be able to support more<br />
hospitality outlets in the area.<br />
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
A HOSPITALITY boom is fast<br />
tracking Lincoln into a social<br />
hot-spot with two new bars and<br />
restaurants set to add to the<br />
growing area.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Black Door Bar & Eatery<br />
along with a new Monteith’s<br />
Brewery Bar will be two of four<br />
hospitality outlets to be established<br />
in the township over the<br />
next year.<br />
Black Door is set to<br />
open in <strong>July</strong> while the<br />
Monteith’s Brewery Bar<br />
is expected to open in<br />
December or January.<br />
Merryn Group Ltd<br />
has put a resource consent<br />
application to the<br />
district council to open<br />
a mixed use commercial<br />
development on<br />
the corner of Edward<br />
St and Eastfield Drive which will<br />
include a restaurant.<br />
Winnie Bagoes is also considering<br />
opening up a new pizza<br />
restaurant in Lincoln.<br />
But in spite of the competition<br />
the businesses are confident the<br />
township will have the population<br />
to support its businesses.<br />
<strong>The</strong> town’s population sits at<br />
about 6500 and is projected to<br />
grow to about 9400 by 2025.<br />
Lynn<br />
Townsend<br />
Lincoln’s existing bars are the<br />
Famous Grouse Hotel, operated<br />
by the Lincoln Club, and <strong>The</strong><br />
Laboratory, operated by Martin<br />
and Lisa Bennett.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Laboratory owner Martin<br />
Bennett said he would like to<br />
think his casual dining and<br />
drinking place will hold its own<br />
against any future competition.<br />
“Our building is unique and<br />
offers an environment that would<br />
be impossible to duplicate.<br />
<strong>The</strong> building is the result<br />
of many years of collecting<br />
recycled materials,” he<br />
said.<br />
Mr Bennett said he<br />
thinks Lincoln is large<br />
enough to support more<br />
hospitality outlets and<br />
more places will make it a<br />
destination for people from<br />
outside the town to travel<br />
to.<br />
Lincoln Club president Lynn<br />
Townsend said while the township<br />
is possibly becoming a little<br />
over-supplied he is confident it<br />
can retain market share.<br />
Christchurch-based Monteith’s<br />

wife Tessa, are opening a new<br />
bar as part of the Broadfield<br />

hits Lincoln<br />
While the bar will be under the<br />
Monteith’s brand, a name is yet to<br />
be decided.<br />
Construction began about a<br />
month ago.<br />
Mr Goodwin described the bar<br />
as likely to be middle-of-the-road<br />
dining, serving gastropub food<br />
with an emphasis on family and<br />
supporting the communities.<br />
While opening hours are yet to<br />
be established, Mr Goodwin said<br />
it will likely be between 8.30am<br />
and 9am to 11am and midnight.<br />
“We are not trying to replicate<br />
what others are doing, we want<br />
to do our own thing and we will<br />
bring our own uniqueness to<br />
Lincoln and then people will have<br />
a choice,” he said.<br />

Safe crossing bid<br />
for Sheffield School<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
RED TAPE appears to be<br />
holding up a safe crossing over<br />
a railway line near Sheffield<br />
Primary School.<br />
A request to enhance the<br />
safety of pupils, who cross the<br />
line on foot to get to the township’s<br />
swimming pool, was first<br />
made to KiwiRail in <strong>July</strong><br />
2015.<br />
In summer, the pupils<br />
are required to walk<br />
from the school, based<br />
on Curve Rd, across<br />
the railway line to the<br />
Sheffield Memorial Pool,<br />
situated on State Highway<br />
73.<br />
KiwiRail responded to the<br />
school in August 2015 informing<br />
it they would meet with<br />
the district council to discuss<br />
concerns.<br />
But the district council says<br />
the project has had to be carried<br />
forward to the <strong>2017</strong>/18 financial<br />
year.<br />
It was determined by KiwiRail<br />
that the district council was the<br />
local roading authority, and any<br />
request for a crossing would<br />
need to come from it. An application<br />
was yet to be received.<br />
But a district council spokesman<br />
said the project is complex<br />
due to it needing approval from<br />
the New Zealand Transport<br />
Agency and KiwiRail, and it<br />
was still planning to lodge an<br />
application.<br />
He said not only will the project<br />
require a pedestrian crossing,<br />
but a footpath to the school.<br />
Costs for the project have not<br />
been finalised.<br />
Principal Nick Pratt<br />
(left) said he would not<br />
have his pupils crossing the<br />
line if he was not 100 per<br />
cent confident it was safe.<br />
But he said in a perfect<br />
world the school would<br />
like to see a level crossing and<br />
work to get one installed by<br />
KiwiRail is a “revolving door.”<br />
“It is very hard to contact<br />
anybody to voice your concerns.<br />
You don’t know where your<br />
concerns are going,” he said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> system the school has in<br />
place to get its pupils across the<br />
line, involves two teachers, two<br />
teacher aides and Mr Pratt.<br />
Mr Pratt said swimming<br />
is taken very seriously at Sheffield.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> children drowning<br />
statistics in New Zealand are<br />
phenomenal and our country<br />
kids are some of the most at risk<br />
of drowning,” he said.<br />

Work-shop upsets residents<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
ROLLESTON residents who<br />
chose the rural lifestyle for its<br />
peace and quiet have been left<br />
angered after an engineering<br />
work-shop has been given the<br />
green-light to set up in their<br />
backyards.<br />
<strong>The</strong> district council gave the<br />
go-ahead for Fraser Engineering<br />
Ltd owner Donald Fraser to<br />
establish a 512m sq farm shed<br />
on his rural property at 156 Two<br />
Chain Rd on June 12.<br />
But neighbouring residents are<br />
looking to appeal the decision<br />
made by commissioner Mike<br />
Garland to the Environment<br />
Court after concerns over loss<br />
of rural amenity, noise, traffic<br />
affects and impact the shed will<br />
have on the environment.<br />
A limited notification was sent<br />
out in March and drew opposition<br />
from immediate neighbouring<br />
properties.<br />
Three people objected.<br />
But a decision was approved<br />
in spite of the affected area being<br />
zoned as “rural inner plains” in<br />
the district plan.<br />
“Rural inner plains” means it<br />
is anticipated residential density<br />
is one dwelling per four ha.<br />
It was identified in Mr Fraser’s<br />

application he may require the<br />
shed for what is defined as “industrial<br />
activity”.<br />
Rural lifestyle blocks will be as<br />
close as 250m from the shed.<br />
<strong>The</strong> shed was approved on a<br />
number of conditions including<br />
no more than two staff on the<br />
property at a time.<br />
Noise generated from the<br />
activity in the daytime cannot<br />
exceed 60 db and 45 db at nighttime.<br />
Resident Sarah Taylor said it<br />
was a rural area, not industrial,<br />
and she cannot even take her<br />
horses down the road in fear of<br />
spooking them.<br />
Resident Lisa Hanson said she<br />
is absolutely disgusted by the<br />
decision and concerned only immediate<br />
properties were notified.<br />
“We want a rural comfortable<br />
life . . . we don’t want to see some<br />
industrial bloody noisy thing<br />
come up next to us and have<br />
horrendous noises and grinding,”<br />
she said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> reasoning behind the<br />
shed was for overnight storage<br />
of heavy vehicles, maintenance<br />
and the repair of agricultural<br />
machinery and heavy vehicles on<br />
Mr Fraser’s private property.<br />
This was due to his existing<br />
business at the Izone Business<br />
Hub not having the capacity<br />

JoSH BaSHford<br />
<strong>The</strong> imagery in Josh Bashford’s new body of work was inspired by last summer’s<br />
early morning and late evening fishing adventures. Adventures such as heading<br />
40km offshore to fish for Groper off Banks Peninsula, or ducking down to<br />
Birdlings Flat for a relaxing evening surf casting on the beach, fishing the Rakaia<br />
River or Hurunui river mouth early morning for the elusive Chinook salmon.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se places are of great significance for Josh Bashford. <strong>The</strong>y provide him with<br />
not only a harvest of fresh kai for friends and family, but also the visual material<br />
for his art making.<br />
This visual material is sometimes captured on<br />
a GoPro camera, but more often it’s caught by<br />
simply being physically present in these very<br />
special places. It’s the way a bird may move<br />
through the air, a sudden glimpse of a fish<br />
breaching, or the excitement of hundreds of birds<br />
and kahawai chasing after small bait fish along<br />
the beach. All this strong imagery settles itself<br />
in Josh’s mind and has allowed him to produce<br />
this new body of limited edition woodcut prints<br />
on canvas.<br />
Josh’s latest exhibition named ‘Home, Sea &<br />
Between’ takes place at Little River Gallery from<br />
<strong>July</strong> 8th until August 2nd.<br />

hearing loss. <strong>The</strong>se losses mainly occur<br />
gradually over many years, mostly starting with<br />
a reduction in speech clarity. This can be<br />

clear) and social situations can become a pain!<br />

Sealing<br />
gravel roads<br />
too costly<br />
COMPLETE: <strong>The</strong> cold weather didn’t keep the community away from celebrating the opening<br />
of the new meeting place.<br />
Birdlings Flat gets new centre<br />
• By Caitlin Miles<br />
AFTER BIRDLINGS Flat<br />
residents lobbied for years for a<br />
community centre they now have<br />
one.<br />
<strong>The</strong> community centre was<br />
opened recently and was blessed<br />
by wairewa kaumatua James<br />
Robinson. <strong>The</strong> building’s name, <br />
Te Whare o te Mata Hapuku, was<br />
gifted by the wairewa runanga.<br />
Residents have wanted a centre<br />
since 2008 to provide a community<br />
facility in the area so people<br />
would have a meeting place and<br />
spot to use for various different<br />
events and for some health<br />
services.<br />
In 2014, the city council provided<br />
$180,000 to help get a community<br />
centre built. <strong>The</strong> budget<br />
was also topped up by a Lotteries<br />
Grant of $200,000.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Little River Wairewa Community<br />
Trust took charge of the<br />
project, it managed the construction<br />
and assigned local builder<br />
Callum Schenkel to do the work.<br />
Trust chairman Robert Burch<br />
said the trust took on the project<br />
because they could see the longterm<br />
benefits the new centre<br />
would bring to the community.<br />
CHEERS: Deputy Mayor<br />
Andrew Turner raised a glass<br />
to celebrate the long awaited<br />
opening of the centre.<br />
• By Amelia Christensen-Rose<br />
SHINGLE ROADS in the<br />
Darfield area won’t be tar-sealed<br />
because of the cost.<br />
Mayor Sam Broughton told<br />
the Malvern Community Board<br />
that would be the case after it<br />
was raised at a board meeting<br />
last week.<br />
<strong>The</strong> matter was raised by<br />
board member Karen Meares<br />
after members of the public had<br />
raised their issues with her.<br />
Mrs Meares brought the road<br />
maintenance to the committee<br />
after people had gone to her to<br />
complain about how the roads<br />
were being managed in the icy<br />
weather.<br />
Mrs Meares also acknowledged<br />
people have been having<br />
issues with dust on gravel roads.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> roads are easier to manage<br />
if it hasn’t been sealed,” Mrs<br />
Meares said.<br />
Mr Broughton said that if the<br />
road sealing was a community<br />
expectation it would mean an<br />
increase in rates.<br />
He said the priorities of the<br />
district council are not on<br />
sealing the gravel road but on<br />
resealing and widening<br />
roads.<br />
Mrs Meares said: “We have<br />
to be realistic” when it comes to<br />
funding. “<strong>The</strong>re are lots more<br />
things that require funding.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> cost of sealing the gravel<br />
roads is between $100,000 and<br />
$200,000 per kilometre depending<br />
on the location of the road<br />
and the amount of work that<br />
needs to be done.<br />
<strong>The</strong> district council is in<br />
charge of 1116km of unsealed<br />
road. Sealing all of them is a<br />
cost Mr Broughton said the<br />
district council cannot afford.<br />

John Charles<br />
At one with nature in small<br />
Having a passion for<br />
the outdoors, John<br />
Charles, 75, has lived in<br />
Arthur’s Pass for nearly<br />
60 years. He spoke<br />
to Georgia O’Connor-<br />
Harding<br />
How did you end up in the<br />
township?<br />
I was a trainee ranger at<br />
the Arthur’s Pass National<br />
Park. That was when the<br />
national parks were run by the<br />
Government’s land and survey<br />
department before it went to the<br />
Department of Conservation.<br />
<strong>The</strong> land and survey department<br />
decided they should try a trainee<br />
ranger scheme. That was the first<br />
organisation to start a trainee<br />
programme. I was 17 and living<br />
at Coalgate at the time before<br />
moving.<br />
Where did your love of the<br />
outdoors start?<br />
In 1957. I was about 14 when<br />
I got selected to go to a scout<br />
jamboree in England. Scouts<br />
all over the world gathered and<br />
camped for a fortnight. It was 50<br />
years since they started. <strong>The</strong>re<br />
was 30,000 scouts around the<br />
world all gathered in Britain. We<br />
NATURE: John Charles, 75, has spent a life outdoors at Arthur’s Pass.. <br />
went by ship and was away for<br />
six months.<br />
How did you find travelling<br />
all that way by ship?<br />
Brilliant, there were 140<br />
New Zealand scouts that went<br />
including scoutmasters. I went<br />
back to Darfield High School<br />
for a year which I didn’t take to<br />
very much. After an exciting six<br />
months it was pretty hard to go<br />
back to school. We did various<br />
things on the way home like a<br />
concert. <strong>The</strong> ships in those days<br />
had swimming pools and deck<br />
games.<br />
What did you do over in<br />
Britain?<br />
We were there for about three<br />
weeks before the jamboree<br />
started camping at a place called<br />
Gilwell Park – it is the official<br />
sort of British place where<br />
scouting started. <strong>The</strong>n we went<br />
to the jamboree in Birmingham<br />
before having a month to do<br />
whatever we wanted. Three of us<br />
from Canterbury knew this guy<br />
who used to be a scoutmaster in<br />
Christchurch but from England.<br />
He had gone back to Britain. He<br />
offered to take us round Britain<br />
in his car. We did this camping<br />
trip and had a tent in the back<br />
of the car going from Scotland<br />
through to Wales. Last month<br />
we had a 60-year anniversary<br />
celebration in Wellington since<br />
the trip. <strong>The</strong>re were about 80<br />
there for the weekend.<br />
Must have been tough going<br />
back to Darfield High.<br />
I couldn’t decide what to do<br />
when I left school so I joined<br />
the Forest Service and did<br />
one season deer culling at the<br />
Harper/Avoca River above<br />
Lake Coleridge. <strong>The</strong> country<br />
was dry. But from the tops of<br />
Harper/Avoca you could see into<br />
Arthur’s Pass National Park and<br />
there was this huge green bush<br />
and I thought I would love to be<br />
over there. I applied for a job to<br />
work at the park. I was working<br />
on the tracks I had been there<br />
six months before they offered<br />
me a permanent role as a trainee<br />
ranger. I was a ranger until<br />
it went to the Department of<br />
Conservation in 1988. I got made<br />
redundant then. I put my hand<br />
up because I couldn’t see myself<br />
working under the new regime.<br />
It is much different to the old<br />
land and survey days. Prior to<br />
DOC it was run from Arthur’s<br />
Pass, but now this whole area is<br />
run from Rangiora.<br />

Arthur’s Pass community<br />
What did you do then?<br />
I did whatever came along. I<br />
did some work on the railway for<br />
about two years. I worked on the<br />
road, building gabion crates on<br />
State Highway 73, various building<br />
projects around the township<br />
and work around the Otira<br />
Viaduct. I also went to Antarctica.<br />
When I was a ranger I put in<br />
leave to go to Scott Base for the<br />
summer season. That was 1976,<br />
I got appointed as deputy officer<br />
in charge for the summer season.<br />
After I was made redundant<br />
I saw an advertisement in the<br />
paper they wanted someone to go<br />
down and work on the historic<br />
huts at Antarctica. We worked<br />
on Scott’s Hut at Cape Evans and<br />
Shackleton’s Hut at Cape Royds<br />
for about six weeks. I loved it. I<br />
think I went down there six years<br />
a row over the summer season.<br />
<strong>The</strong> best trip I had was when I<br />
was phoned and asked if I could<br />
shift some material up to Cape<br />
Bird. I went on the first flight<br />
they had in the winter which was<br />
about 1989. It was still dark but it<br />
was magic and there were fewer<br />
people there. It was the time<br />
when Greenpeace was camped up<br />
at Cape Evans. On some Sundays<br />
we would get on the Skidoos and<br />
go have lunch with them.<br />
What is the community like at<br />
Arthur’s Pass?<br />
It is pretty small. Since I have<br />
been here there have been fantastic<br />
changes. When I first came<br />
here it was a railway town. That<br />
is what put us there – the digging<br />
of the Otira tunnel. Prior to them<br />
putting a railway through here it<br />
was just known as Bealey Flats.<br />
We had a station master and<br />
because the line was electrified<br />
between Arthur’s Pass and Otira<br />

Charles (middle)<br />
with fellow<br />
scouts on-board<br />
the Orontes en<br />
route to a scout<br />
jamboree in<br />
England in 1957.<br />
the steam trains used to come up<br />
from Springfield to collect the<br />
wagons that the electric trains<br />
pulled up through the tunnel<br />
because they couldn’t put steam<br />
trains through the tunnel. Arthur’s<br />
Pass was a huge marshalling<br />
yard. <strong>The</strong>re were probably 12<br />
to 14 railway families here. <strong>The</strong><br />
store used to be a proper country<br />
grocery store.<br />
Where do you go to get groceries?<br />
Most people go to Christchurch<br />
and shop in bulk and put it in<br />
deep freezers. We do have a truck<br />
that comes through with veges.<br />
<strong>The</strong> road is good and there is a<br />
courier twice a day.<br />
Are there any key projects<br />
you would like seen done in the<br />
township in the future?<br />
It is one of those funny places.<br />
If it had a glacier like Franz<br />
Josef the place would be groaning<br />
with tourists which would<br />
be terrible. <strong>The</strong>re is a fantastic<br />
amount of stuff here you can do<br />
but we haven’t got those amazing<br />
features that makes people stop.<br />
<strong>The</strong> most popular thing here is<br />
the Devils Punchbowl Waterfall<br />
which is only a short walk but<br />
the water falls about 122m. One<br />
of the other most popular trips<br />
is Avalanche Peak above the<br />
township. <strong>The</strong>re is a constant<br />
stream in the summer of people<br />
going through.<br />
You have your own track too?<br />
Down on the other side of the<br />
railway there is a swimming hole<br />
there. Kids used to wander down<br />
and swim. About four years ago<br />
KiwiRail fenced all the railway<br />
yards so you are not allowed to<br />
walk across the railway. It blocked<br />
access off to the swimming hole.<br />
I just put a track under Rough<br />
Creek Bridge so people could get<br />
round to the river without crossing<br />
the railway line. It became<br />
known as JC’s track.<br />
Are you going to write a history<br />
book?<br />
I got quite excited about it<br />
because I have all these pictures.<br />
But you realise what a daunting<br />
task it is. I have trouble sitting<br />
down spending time inside if it is<br />
a fine day.<br />

School play to raise funds<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
A SCHOOL hall will be<br />
transformed into a fairytale<br />
wonderland to help fundraise for<br />
children in need.<br />
With a goal of raising $1000<br />
for charity KidsCan, Lincoln<br />
High School will present a varied<br />
show featuring three short tales<br />
at its school hall.<br />
A Cinderella-inspired tale, a<br />
story about an “amazing cake<br />
shop”, and a surprise story will<br />
be performed by the students.<br />
Head of learning, arts and<br />
drama Sandra McLean said the<br />
show aims to engage pre-schoolers<br />
getting them to participate<br />
throughout the show.<br />
“Generally we do three little<br />
shows – one based on a book,<br />
one based on a fairytale and<br />
something popular to kids,” she<br />
said.<br />
Mrs McLean said the school<br />
is open to all pre-schoolers, new<br />
entrants as well as those “young<br />
at heart.”<br />
KidsCan aims to provide food,<br />
clothing and basic healthcare in<br />
schools to enable disadvantaged<br />
children to be more engaged in<br />
their education.<br />
<strong>The</strong> school produced another<br />
show early in the year, it raised<br />
more than $400.<br />
MAGICAL: Lincoln High School students are fundraising to<br />
help give other children a better start in life. (From top left) –<br />

<strong>The</strong> new show will be held at<br />
Lincoln High School’s school<br />
hall on <strong>July</strong> 10, at 9.30 and<br />

Increase in men’s sheds<br />
• By Amelia Christensen-Rose<br />
MEN’S SHEDS are popping up<br />
everywhere and Lincoln and Darfield are<br />
no exceptions.<br />
A men’s shed brings men together<br />
in one community space to share their<br />
skills, have a laugh and work on<br />
practical skills both individually and as<br />
a group.<br />
Although called a men’s shed, many<br />
also welcome women members or have<br />
courses for women.<br />
Progress for the Lincoln Men’s Shed<br />
has been slow according to secretary<br />
Myles Rea, but it’s getting there.<br />
“We waited for a consent process for<br />
the lease of the land at the north end of<br />
the Event Centre. With there being no<br />
objections a lease has been signed with<br />
the Selwyn District Council,” Mr Rea<br />
said.<br />
With the help of funding from Pub<br />
Charity the Lincoln Men’s Shed has<br />
ordered a kit set shed from Wide Span<br />
Sheds.<br />
Meanwhile, in Darfield, two public<br />
meetings have been held to start planning<br />
their men’s shed. <strong>The</strong> first meeting<br />
brought 38 men and the second brought<br />
68.<br />
Councillor Jeff Bland who chaired the<br />
meeting said it was very positive and it<br />
would be a “real shame” if they can’t find<br />
a place to put their shed.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> general feeling was that the<br />
guys worked hard all their life and now<br />
they’re retired their skills are wasted,” Cr<br />
Bland said.<br />
“If the community needs things done,<br />
they’ll be happy to do it.”<br />
Cr Bland said he’s a great believer in<br />
men’s sheds and called it a “real fellowship.”<br />
Cr Bland said although he won’t be<br />
joining the men’s shed just yet because<br />
of how busy the district council keeps<br />
him, he would like to go out there and<br />
learn skills such as welding and butchery.<br />
Menzshed NZ chairman Ray Hall said<br />
they would be happy to address a public<br />
meeting on what a shed is and other<br />
things people need to know about setting<br />
up a shed but there needs to be local<br />
champions.<br />
10 years of youth work<br />
A SPECIAL afternoon<br />
tea hosted by the Selwyn<br />
Wairewa Youth Trust has<br />
been held to celebrate 10<br />
years of 24-7 youth work at<br />
Lincoln High School.<br />
Mayor Sam Broughton<br />
and Lincoln High<br />
School principal Kathy<br />
Paterson attended<br />
the event held at the<br />
Lincoln Baptist Church<br />
recently.<br />
Mrs Paterson said the<br />
school was excited to have<br />
celebrated 10 years and<br />
CELEBRATION: Alan Aitken and Marie Reveley. <br />
the youth workers were<br />
a valuable asset to the<br />
school.<br />
She said the school was<br />
delighted to be presented<br />
with a piece of artwork by<br />
youth worker and former<br />
student Josh Bashford.<br />

Local firm leads the way in electrical harnessing<br />
Harness Master Ltd imported<br />
this electrical harness loom.<br />
Earlier this year, Harness Master Ltd<br />
imported a specialised machine for<br />
producing electrical harnessing to<br />
encase wiring.<br />
Owner, Michael Court who is a<br />
qualified mechanic ,auto electrician<br />
and skilled electrical harness machine<br />
operator has worked on European<br />
cars, excavators, John Deere Cats<br />
and other heavy machinery including<br />
mining and earth-moving equipment<br />
in Australia.<br />
Electrical harnessing is used in<br />
equipment and machinery in a<br />
wide range of industries including<br />
automotive, marine, construction and<br />
farming. Michael observed that<br />
wires encased in standard imported<br />
harnessing would slip causing chaffing<br />
and this led to internal breakage and<br />
wires shorting.<br />
Custom made electrical harnessing<br />
protects wiring from heat, fuel, wear<br />
and tear, antifreeze, motor oil, battery<br />
acid, antifreeze and hydraulic fluid<br />
(up to 138 degrees with a low cold<br />
flex tolerance to minus 54 degrees<br />
Celsius). This type of braiding<br />
technology is new to New Zealand and<br />
Harness Master Ltd is leading the way<br />
in its production.<br />
<strong>The</strong> company produces two sizes with<br />
tensile strengths of 6.8kg and 9.17kg,<br />
combining to a total strength around<br />
220kg.<br />

PReschool in lincoln’<br />
Melodies Preschool is a small boutique<br />
preschool of only 30 children per day nestled<br />
in the heart of Lincoln township that provides<br />
high quality care and education for boys and<br />
girls aged 2-5 years.<br />
Our unique daily programme incorporates<br />
specialist music, dance, gym and art sessions<br />
using the Carl Orff approach and Gill<br />
Connell’s Moving Smart programme.<br />
<strong>The</strong> children enjoy discovering, creating<br />
and exploring our indoor environment which<br />
includes a spacious music room and art room.<br />
<strong>The</strong> natural outdoor environment is designed<br />
with your child’s creativity and physical<br />
hoW childRen<br />
leaRn and develoP<br />
90% of a child’s brain develops in the first<br />
5 years. Quality experiences and interactions<br />
help shape your child’s future during this time.<br />
Music develops a separate part of the brain that<br />
is linked to memory and awakens the senses,<br />
develops language and promotes confidence<br />
and creativity. Children learn through movement<br />
and real sensory experiences.<br />
High Quality Preschool Education is the<br />
smallest most important investment you could<br />
make to your child’s future.<br />
development in mind. Static equipment is<br />
limited so that children are able to create<br />
their own huts, games, obstacle courses and<br />
always be physically challenged. Every day<br />
the outdoor environment is different.<br />
Our low child to teacher ratio of 7 children<br />
to 1 teacher (Ministry Regulations are 10:1)<br />
provides a nurturing attentive atmosphere<br />
where children are engaged in meaningful<br />
play where there is always a teacher to care,<br />
support and extend on your child’s interest.<br />
It also allows teachers to provide amazing<br />
activities, lessons and interactions that would<br />
not otherwise happen in a higher child to<br />
teacher ratio environment.<br />
We also provide an exceptional<br />
Transition to School programme for 4<br />
– 5 years olds that is highly regarded<br />
by local New Entrant teachers and<br />
Principals.<br />
Children at Melodies become<br />
happy creative, confident, innovative<br />
learners. Here are some facts about<br />
how children develop.<br />

Virtual invasion at<br />
Lincoln Domain<br />
Lincoln Domain is coming to life with animated dinosaurs, kittens and alien invaders during the<br />
<strong>July</strong> school holidays.<br />
<strong>The</strong> reserve is the second park in Selwyn to become a ‘Magical Park’ where children are guided<br />
by an app that allows them to herd kittens, see dinosaurs brought back to life, and witness an<br />
alien invasion.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> app involves children in a number of fun tasks at parks such as finding dinosaur eggs, which<br />
provides a great workout,” says Selwyn District Council Senior Events and Recreation Advisor<br />
Dave Tippett.<br />
“Rolleston Reserve became our first Magical Park in April and the app has been popular with local<br />
kids since then. We are excited to share the magic by launching the app at Lincoln Domain.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> ‘Magical Park’ app is designed for kids aged 6–11. It can be downloaded free from Google<br />
Play or the iTunes App Store. It is compatible with iPhone 5 and above, iPad 3 and above, or<br />
android devices with a compass, gyroscope, accelerometer and GPS.<br />
<strong>The</strong> average playing time for kids using the app is 30–60 minutes and in this time kids typically<br />
cover between 700 metres and 2 kilometres.<br />
Magical Park will launch at Lincoln Domain on Wednesday 5 <strong>July</strong> and will be active in the<br />
domain’s eastern area near the entrance to Lincoln Event Centre. Kids can also explore Rolleston<br />
Reserve as a Magical Park – look out for signage near the skate area for information on how to<br />
use the app.<br />
Prebbleton sewer pipeline progress<br />
Good progress is being made on a new 10km sewer pipeline linking Prebbleton to the Selwyn Road<br />
pump station. <strong>The</strong> pipeline has been designed to carry wastewater flows from Prebbleton village once<br />
fully developed (based on current land use planning projections). <strong>The</strong> pipeline connects to the existing<br />
network at the intersection of Springs and Hamptons Roads. From there it travels alongside Hamptons<br />
and Shands Roads to Selwyn Road and to the Selwyn Road pumping station. From Selwyn Road<br />
wastewater is pumped to the Pines Wastewater Plant for treatment. <strong>The</strong> new pipeline is on track to be<br />
completed in early August.<br />
Both Prebbleton’s and Lincoln’s populations have been growing rapidly and in the future the existing pipe<br />
network won’t have enough capacity to service both areas. Lincoln and West Melton, which also connect<br />
to Pines Wastewater Treatment Plant, all have their own pipes linking directly to the Rolleston network.<br />
Prebbleton’s wastewater currently flows to Lincoln and from there both the Lincoln wastewater (which<br />
also services Springston) and Prebbleton wastewater are pumped to the Selwyn Road pumping station.<br />
<strong>The</strong> new network arrangement caters for expected growth in Prebbleton and also avoids double<br />
pumping of Prebbleton flows to two locations.<br />

Lincoln Rail Trail link under way<br />
A new off-road link to connect Lincoln to the Little River Rail Trail is<br />
now under construction. <strong>The</strong> new shared cycleway/pathway will link<br />
Lincoln to the existing Rail Trail at Ellesmere Road through a mainly<br />
off-road route.<br />
<strong>The</strong> link will be developed in two stages. <strong>The</strong> first stage will run<br />
from Liffey Springs Park to the Lincoln Stormwater Wetland and is<br />
now under construction with a new pedestrian/cyclist bridge over<br />
the L2 River at Liffey Springs Park recently lifted into place. A new<br />
water crossing point will also be added at the wetlands.<br />
<strong>The</strong> second stage of construction is being financed by the Little<br />
River Rail Trail Trust, with a construction date for this work to be<br />
confirmed. This will see a new section of pathway added from<br />
south of the wetlands along the L2 River to connect to Moirs Lane<br />
and the start of the existing pathway at Ellesmere Road.<br />

McIlroy to<br />
play 200th<br />
club game<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
SATURDAY’S TOP of the table<br />
Ellesmere rugby clash will be a<br />
special occasion for Darfield prop<br />
Scott McIlroy.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 33-year-old will play his<br />
200th game for the division 1 side.<br />
McIlroy has played for the club<br />
since he was in the under-7 midget<br />
grade right through to the division<br />
1 side.<br />
He spent a large chunk of his age<br />
group days playing in the backs<br />
until making the move to prop in<br />
his late teens.<br />
“Originally, he was a first-five<br />
until he got a job at the bakery and<br />
then moved to prop,” said Darfield<br />
co-coach Alex Robertson.<br />
Said McIlroy: “I started working<br />
at the Darfield Bakery after school.<br />
I did my baker’s apprenticeship<br />
and that’s when the guys at the club<br />
started calling me ‘scones’.”<br />
His days at the bakery are over,<br />
though, and he now works as an<br />
agronomist for Hazlett Rural Ltd.<br />
With the team chasing a home<br />
semi-final, McIlroy could have<br />
picked a bigger game to bring up<br />
the milestone.<br />
“When I first started playing, we<br />
used to beat Southbridge quite regularly.<br />
Over the last few years, we’ve<br />
come quite close but not managed<br />
to beat them,” said McIlroy.<br />
SPORTS<br />
CHARGE DOWN: Ben Clare got smashed between Richard Catherwood and Scott Mitchell. Shaun Beatty attempted to stop<br />
the kick of Kris Wilder. Harry Pankhurst looked to spread the ball.<br />

• By Gordon Findlater<br />
DARFIELD WILL put their<br />
unbeaten record on the line<br />
against Combined Country<br />
champion Southbridge on<br />
Saturday.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y took their unbeaten<br />
record to six games at the<br />
weekend, accounting for Lincoln<br />
20-13 and recording their first<br />
win at Lincoln in 12 years.<br />
Tries to Harry Pankhurst,<br />
Blair McIlroy and Mike Robinson<br />
helped Darfield on their way<br />
to the victory.<br />
“We lost to them recently in<br />
the third and fourth play-off<br />
game in the combined competition,<br />
so we had some intel, but it<br />
was always going to be a tough<br />
game,” said Darfield co-coach<br />
Alex Robertson.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y will now look to cement<br />
a home-semi-final with a win<br />
over Southbridge.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y have some really good<br />
ball runners and strong characters<br />
within their team,” said<br />
Robertson.<br />
“Having a home semi-final at<br />
the Duck Pond would certainly<br />
be a big advantage.”<br />
For Lincoln, the weekend’s<br />
result means they will now need<br />
to win Saturday’s match against<br />
rivals Waihora to keep their<br />
play-off hopes alive.<br />
Prebbleton gained the ascendancy<br />
in the race for one of<br />
the final top four spots with a<br />
dominant 56-17 win over West<br />

<strong>The</strong> season of fur<br />
Nothing says winter like a cosy fur garment to keep you<br />
warm and to look stylish.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re is an abundance of fur around fashion<br />
stores at present, both real rabbit furs<br />
and faux furs. Fur is being used as<br />
a trim on all kinds of accessories<br />
and garments to give a little extra<br />
interest and style.<br />
<strong>The</strong> beauty of genuine fur is that it<br />
is not only supremely warm<br />
but it is also very light to<br />
wear, so is comfortable<br />
and ideal to leave on<br />
when indoors.<br />
We have pictured one of our<br />
fabulous rabbit fur vests in silver<br />
grey tones ($229). <strong>The</strong>se vests<br />
are one size only and come in<br />
navy, chestnut, black and silver.<br />
We have also pictured a more<br />
classic style quilted vest by<br />
Random fashions in navy which<br />
features a fur trim ($169). This style<br />
can be quite a casual piece and<br />
doesn’t look out of place worn<br />

LINCOLN HIGH will<br />
have an opportunity to put<br />
some serious silverware<br />
in their cabinet this year<br />
after making the cut for a<br />
national secondary schools<br />
football tournament.<br />
<strong>The</strong>ir Connetics first XI<br />
competition record of five<br />
wins from nine games and<br />
third position on the table<br />
was enough to qualify<br />
them for the 32-team tournament<br />
in Napier in<br />
September.<br />
Lincoln’s influential<br />
captain Mason Stearn will<br />
lead the side in his third<br />
national tournament in<br />
four years and manager<br />
Richard James said he is<br />
ahead of the inaugural<br />
club day, as the Rolleston<br />
Warriors look to continue<br />
their growth in the<br />
community.<br />
<strong>The</strong> day featured five<br />
junior matches in the<br />
build-up to the big game<br />
of the day, which saw<br />
the Burnham Chevaliers<br />
– who have a strong<br />
association with the<br />
pumped to do so.<br />
“He was ecstatic when<br />
he heard we were in the<br />
tournament on Monday<br />
morning. He is a really<br />
good player who leads by<br />
example on and off the<br />
field,” James said.<br />
Lincoln is joined by top<br />
of the table St Andrew’s,<br />
St Thomas and Cashmere<br />
High. Burnside High is<br />
also in the mix after they<br />
applied for a wildcard spot.<br />
“We have four tough<br />
league games coming up,<br />
an exchange with Ashburton<br />
and Nelson, so that<br />
will get us sharp,” James<br />
said.<br />
He said they will have<br />
to turn up with their “A<br />
Rolleston Warriors – go<br />
down to the Woolston<br />
Rams 32-16 in their<br />
division 1 match.<br />
<strong>The</strong> club day also<br />
featured a barbecue<br />
fundraiser, bouncy<br />
castles and children’s<br />
entertainment throughout<br />
the day, as well as a<br />
hydration station and<br />
sponsors’ stalls<br />

some cute little sportwatching<br />
or weekend-outing<br />
gumboots pictured in grey and<br />
black lace print with grey fur trim.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se little cuties are on sale now<br />
and are a steal at $35.<br />
A fur coat is the ultimate<br />
in luxury and decadence<br />
and is especially suited to going out in<br />
the evening over pants or dresses and<br />
skirts. <strong>The</strong> ivyblu Kirsten jacket is the perfect<br />
example of this and is a beautiful navy<br />
colour shot with black ($415), styles<br />
like this just never date so are a useful<br />
addition in the wardrobe.<br />
Fur can be ideal for winter occasions<br />
as it looks perfect over dresses<br />
and doesn’t dull down a<br />
beautiful dress when off to a<br />
wedding, ball or other event.<br />
Come on down to Viva La Moda<br />
and see all of the cosy fur options available.<br />

CLEVER CREATURES: <strong>The</strong> megadromus antarcticus, known as the alexander<br />
beetle are helpful for controlling slugs in the garden.<br />
Control garden pests<br />
by encouraging beetles<br />
Mike Bowie is<br />
an ecologist<br />
who specialises<br />
in entomology<br />
(insects and other<br />
invertebrates). Each<br />
week he introduces a<br />
new species found in his backyard<br />
at Lincoln. His column aims to raise<br />
public awareness of biodiversity,<br />
the variety of living things around us<br />
MEGADROMUS antarcticus, commonly<br />
known as the Alexander beetle, is a<br />
distinctive iridescent green-black ground<br />
beetle between 25 and 30mm long.<br />
It is an endemic found between Cave in<br />
South Canterbury to Waikari in North<br />
Canterbury.<br />
<strong>The</strong> species is common in undisturbed<br />
areas such as gardens under rocks, pots<br />
and logs.<br />
<strong>The</strong> female lays eggs in a soil cavity<br />
where it incubates them for three to four<br />
weeks. Parental care continues after the<br />
larvae hatch and mature.<br />
Predators of the beetle species include<br />
hedgehogs, harrier hawks and morepork.<br />
Alexander beetles are often found with<br />
one or more mites clinging to their body.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se are often not parasitic, but simply<br />
hitching a ride.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Alexander beetle is a generalist<br />
predator that prey on soft-bodied invertebrates<br />
including pests such as the exotic<br />
grey field slug.<br />
So look after this useful beetle by placing<br />
wooden refugia in your garden and it<br />
will help you control the slugs.<br />

Gardening<br />
Plant now for<br />
strawberries<br />
• By Henri Ham<br />
EVEN THOUGH this<br />
winter has been pretty<br />
mild so far, it still seems<br />
odd to be thinking about<br />
such a summery fruit as<br />
strawberries just yet.<br />
But if you want to enjoy<br />
the fruits of your labour at<br />
Christmas now is the time<br />
to plant strawberries.<br />
I love the fact<br />
strawberries will grow just<br />
about anywhere. Google<br />
strawberry planters and<br />
you will find an array of<br />
creative places for growing<br />
this tasty fruit.<br />
Cut off drain pipes,<br />
wooden pyramids, garden<br />
beds, pots, the list goes on.<br />
I like to grow<br />
strawberries in a raised<br />
garden bed. But I’m also a<br />
fan of planting them in a<br />
paradise planter or hanging<br />
basket.<br />
As long as they can see<br />
the sun, and where you’re<br />
planting is well-drained<br />
and not prone to frost, you<br />
can expect healthy-growing<br />
plants that produce lots of<br />
fruit. When you’ve found<br />
just the right spot or spots,<br />
prepare the soil by digging<br />
in a general fertiliser that’s<br />
rich in potassium – this<br />
will help stimulate plant<br />
growth and big, juicy fruit.<br />
If you’re planting in a<br />
pot or hanging basket, use<br />
a good potting mix and<br />
for an extra boost apply a<br />
liquid fertiliser to the mix.<br />
If you’re planting in a<br />
paradise planter you’ll need<br />
32 seedlings to fill each<br />
hole.<br />
Before planting in the<br />
garden raise your bed by<br />
mounding the soil. This<br />
will encourage circulation,<br />
drainage and can add<br />
depth to shallow soil.<br />
Plant your seedlings<br />
around the edges of<br />
your garden or pots to<br />
encourage the strawberries<br />
to hang over the sides and<br />
prevent the fruit from<br />
touching the ground and<br />
rotting.<br />
Dig a hole 10cm deep and<br />
place the seedling inside.<br />
A deep hole is required<br />
to give the roots plenty of<br />
room to spread out and<br />
grow but be careful not to<br />
bury the plant.<br />
Pack the soil firmly<br />
around each seedling and<br />
surround with peastraw<br />
or newspaper to help keep<br />
away weeds.<br />
Place netting or wire over<br />
you plants when they begin<br />
to produce fruit.<br />
This will block out<br />
birds and ensure you get<br />
to eat the strawberries<br />
yourself.<br />
In spring, add another<br />
dose of general fertiliser<br />
to your strawberries to<br />
encourage sturdier plants<br />
that are more disease<br />
resistant heading in to the<br />
warmer months.<br />

Refreshed economic strategy<br />
‘highlights importance of<br />
adding value’<br />
Economic Development Minister Simon<br />
Bridges, Primary Industries Minister Nathan<br />
Guy and other Government Ministers were<br />
in Christchurch recently to co-launch the<br />
refresh of the Canterbury Regional Economic<br />
Development Strategy.<br />
<strong>The</strong> strategy aims to position the region so<br />
that economic growth can continue off the<br />
back of earthquake recovery and the rebuild to<br />
drive economic activity and employment.<br />
“Since the 2010 earthquake, Government<br />
investment in Canterbury has been significant,”<br />
Mr Bridges said.<br />
“By December 2016, the Government had<br />
spent $14.3 billion on Canterbury earthquake<br />
costs and in the six months post the November<br />
2016 earthquake centred in Kaikoura,<br />
Government has contributed to date around<br />
$850 million towards the recovery and rebuild.<br />
“As rebuild activity levels off, the strategy sets<br />
challenging targets that will need sustained<br />
collaboration with the telecommunications,<br />
primary industries, education, tourism and<br />
business sectors. Canterbury is well placed<br />
to drive the region onto the next phase of<br />
economic growth,” he said.<br />
Mr Guy said the primary industries were<br />
a cornerstone of the region’s economic<br />
development.<br />
“Canterbury has a highly productive and<br />
diverse primary sector – strong in beef, dairy<br />
and lamb exports, with the arable, forestry and<br />
horticulture sectors also very important,” Mr<br />
Guy said.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> refreshed strategy highlights the<br />
importance of adding value to what we<br />
produce. This is why the Government has a<br />
goal of doubling the value of primary sector<br />
exports by 2025 and is supporting this through<br />
research and development, irrigation, water<br />
storage, trade access and developing skills.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> strategy’s implementation is led by<br />
the Canterbury Mayoral Forum with central<br />
government support. It includes strategic,<br />
high-level proposals that advance work<br />
streams across the region as a whole.<br />
<strong>The</strong> strategy has seven work programmes<br />
including:<br />
• Integrated regional transport planning and<br />
infrastructure investment<br />
• Digital connectivity – extension and uptake<br />
of fast broadband in rural areas<br />
• Freshwater management and irrigation<br />
infrastructure<br />
• Education and training for a skilled workforce<br />
• Newcomer and migrant settlement – skilled<br />
workers, cohesive communities<br />
• Value-added production<br />
• Regional visitor strategy.<br />
Canterbury’s<br />
primary export<br />
sector is seen as a<br />
cornerstone to the<br />
region’s economic<br />
development.<br />

SELWYN RURAL LIFE<br />
World Class New Zealand<br />
Award for local scientist<br />
Dr Phil Rolston of the Foundation for<br />
Arable Research (FAR) has been officially<br />
named a World Class New Zealander.<br />
Dr Rolston was one of six people from a<br />
range of industries, who were honoured at<br />
the <strong>2017</strong> World Class New Zealand Awards<br />
in Auckland last month.<br />
Judging panel chair Phil Veal said<br />
the awards showcased the very best of<br />
this country’s talent, and focused on<br />
how individuals contributed to New<br />
Zealand’s global reputation, building<br />
global connections for New Zealand, and<br />
promoting the exchange of information,<br />
knowledge and skills.<br />
Dr Rolston’s citation referenced his<br />
scientific influence on the farming sector<br />
worldwide, from New Zealand to China.<br />
He has invested 42 years with DSIR<br />
Grasslands/AgResearch in forages and<br />
forage seed research and is currently<br />
employed by FAR.<br />
In 1996 he received China’s highest<br />
award to foreigners, the Friendship Medal,<br />
1996. In 2005 he received the NZ Institute<br />
of Agriculture Award and the Horticulture<br />
Technology Transfer Award. He was<br />
acknowledged as Researcher of the Year<br />
by the Foundation for Arable Research<br />
in 2008. He also received the China<br />
International Science and Technology<br />
Cooperation Award, 2015.<br />
<strong>The</strong> other <strong>2017</strong> winners are:<br />
Parris Goebel - Choreographer &<br />
Founder of ReQuest, <strong>The</strong> Royal Family and<br />
<strong>The</strong> Palace Dance Studio<br />
Ian Wright - Engineer & Founder of<br />
Wright Speed<br />
Dr Privahini Bradoo - Scientist, CEO<br />
and Founder of BlueOak<br />
Robert Oliver - Chef, Author,<br />
Restaurateur<br />
Sir Rob Fenwick KNZM KStJ<br />
<strong>The</strong> World Class New Zealand Awards are<br />
New Zealand’s most prestigious individual<br />
achievement awards, acknowledging the<br />
country’s top international talent.<br />
Established in 2003, the awards<br />
recognise world-leading Kiwis, whose<br />
inspiring achievements are defining New<br />
Zealand’s image internationally. While<br />
there are many awards celebrating success<br />
in New Zealand, the key point of difference<br />
for these awards is the celebration of<br />
global success, often from Kiwis that have<br />
achieved outstanding and, in many cases,<br />
world-changing success offshore.<br />

Trees and Power Lines<br />
<strong>The</strong> responsibilities of tree owners and Orion under the<br />
Electricity (Hazards from Trees) Regulations 2003<br />
Orion New Zealand owns and operates the electricity distribution network in central<br />
Canterbury between the Waimakariri and Rakaia rivers and from the Canterbury coast<br />
to Arthur’s Pass. Trees touching power lines account for 10-20% of all unplanned power<br />
outages on our network. If you see a tree touching a power line, or any other hazardous<br />
tree condition, please contact us immediately on 03 363 9898 or 0800 363 9898.<br />
This advertisement provides a general notice of the Electricity (Hazards from Trees)<br />
Regulations 2003 and the dangers of trees near power lines. More detail on these issues<br />
can be found on our website www.oriongroup.co.nz or by phoning us on 03 363 9898.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Electricity (Hazards from Trees) Regulations 2003<br />
<strong>The</strong> regulations set out the responsibilities of electricity line companies and tree owners.<br />
<strong>The</strong> purpose of the regulations is to protect the safety of the public and help to ensure a<br />
secure supply of electricity. <strong>The</strong> regulations:<br />
• define safe separation distances between trees and power lines<br />
• specifies who is responsible for ensuring clearances are maintained<br />
• places potential liability on the tree owner if any damage or accident occurs due to<br />
trees touching power lines. (Note that the word “trees” includes all types of vegetation,<br />
including shrubs, hedges and climbing vines.)<br />
What are the dangers?<br />
Trees near power lines need to be trimmed or removed for the following reasons:<br />
• children like to climb trees and when trees are close to power lines there is a risk of<br />
serious injury or death<br />
• in severe weather conditions, vegetation can become electrically “live” and may<br />
electrocute anyone or anything that touches it<br />
• while a tree may not touch a power line in fine weather, branches can bend or break in<br />
wind or snow storms, causing serious damage and possibly prolonged power outages<br />
• in dry conditions, electrical sparking caused by branches or windblown debris on lines<br />
may cause fires.<br />
Minimum distances required between trees and power lines<br />
<strong>The</strong> minimum distances that must be maintained between trees and power lines, defined in<br />
the regulations, are outlined in the diagram to the right. A common sense approach, by tree<br />
owners trimming trees early, will generally prevent trees touching power lines.<br />
To maintain a safe distance from power lines some trees require cutting or trimming<br />
more frequently than other trees, but if it is determined that cutting or trimming cannot<br />
satisfactorily meet the requirement then removing the tree is recommended. Other<br />
situations may require trees to be felled because they are at a distance that is considered<br />
to be a hazard due to falling during storms or being diseased.<br />
Orion’s tree management programme<br />
Orion’s tree management programme is largely governed by the Electricity (Hazards from<br />
Trees) Regulations 2003. Our programme involves education, monitoring and the cut/trim<br />
or removal of trees that threaten to come into contact with power lines. Through this<br />
programme we work with tree owners to minimise the risk of their trees touching power lines.<br />
We currently undertake periodic cutting or trimming of vegetation within the notice zone.<br />
<strong>The</strong> intent of this cutting or trimming is to support safety and reduce the risk of power<br />
outages. This periodic cutting or trimming by us does not remove the tree owner’s<br />
responsibilities and in the case of fast growing species may not be sufficient to ensure<br />
that trees remain outside of the growth limit zone. You will be notified prior to any periodic<br />
trimming being carried out and the work will be completed by arborists carrying Orion<br />
identification.<br />
If Orion becomes aware of a tree which is within the ‘Notice zone’ (see Tree “A” in the diagram<br />
below) then we are required to issue the tree owner with a Hazard Warning notice. For trees<br />
within the ‘Growth limit zone’ (see Tree “B” in the diagram below) we are required to issue the<br />
tree owner with a Cut or Trim notice.<br />
What is a hazard warning notice?<br />
If a tree is within the “Notice zone” (see Tree “A” in the diagram), we are required to issue a<br />
hazard warning notice to the tree owner.<br />
Tree “A”<br />
Notice<br />

11kV (high voltage) 2.6 metres 1.6 metres<br />
400V/230V (low voltage) 1.5 metres 0.5 metres<br />
Note:<br />
V = Volts; kV = kilo Volts ie 1,000 Volts<br />
1) <strong>The</strong>se distances are from the power line, not the power pole<br />
2) <strong>The</strong>se distances are a minimum and apply in all conditions including high wind or snow<br />
3) In most instances the power lines that go to a house or building are low voltage power<br />
lines. Power lines that go down a street may be low or high voltage.<br />
Trimming trees near power lines<br />
Trimming trees near power lines can be extremely hazardous and the dangers should not<br />
be underestimated. Contact with a power line can cause:<br />
• injury or death to yourself, family or passers by<br />
• injury or death to livestock<br />
• damage to property and other trees<br />
• damage to electrical appliances<br />
• damage to power supply facilities<br />
• damage to third parties.<br />
We recognise that the public is not always experienced in tree trimming, so we are happy<br />
to advise you on this. We can arrange for trees near power lines to be trimmed at your<br />
cost. If, however, you prefer to arrange your own tree trimming, we recommend you hire<br />
professionals with the necessary expertise and safety procedures to competently carry out<br />
this work.<br />
If you or someone working for you intends to work within 4 metres of power lines, a close<br />
approach consent is required from Orion before you start. As a tree owner you may be liable<br />
for any damage caused by carrying out trimming or felling of trees.<br />
A hazard warning notice alerts the tree owner that the tree has encroached the notice zone<br />
and that if it encroaches the “Growth limit zone” (see Tree “B” in the diagram) a cut or trim<br />
notice may be immediately given to the tree owner (see above).<br />
<strong>The</strong> growth limit zone is the area around a power line which trees must not encroach even<br />
in windy or snow conditions. <strong>The</strong> notice zone is a distance one metre beyond the growth<br />
limit zone.<br />
What is a cut or trim notice?<br />
If we become aware that a tree has encroached on the “Growth limit zone”, we will give<br />
notice in writing to the tree owner that the tree must be cut or timed to maintain the<br />
distances prescribed in the regulations, and the timeframes for action.<br />
If no action is taken Orion may then trim the tree and seek to recover costs.<br />
Who pays for the cut or trim?<br />
Orion is responsible for the first cut of trees near power lines, where the first cut is on a<br />
property basis, not owner basis. We have already met this obligation by completing a first cut<br />
of vegetation on all our lines.<br />
<strong>The</strong> tree owner will need to organise and pay for any subsequent and future cuts or trims.<br />
We are happy to provide tree owners with a list of approved arborists who can carry out this<br />
work, and also advise the best solution given the circumstances.<br />
What fines can be imposed?<br />
A tree owner commits an offence where a cut or trim notice is given, and without reasonable<br />
excuse, the tree owner fails to have the tree cut or trimmed and/or fails to advise us of the<br />
time and location of the cut or trim.<br />
A person who commits such an offence is liable on summary conviction to a fine not<br />
exceeding $10,000. If the offence continues, that person is also liable for a further fine of<br />
not more than $500 for every day or part day during which the offence continues.<br />
Contact us if in any doubt about your tree<br />
We aim to work with tree owners to ensure safety is maintained and power outages are<br />
minimised. We will actively work with tree owners to see trees are trimmed or cut before<br />
regulatory powers are applied. However, as we wish to ensure the safety and security of the<br />
public, we will use the regulations where necessary.<br />
Please contact us or an approved Orion tree trimming contractor to help with your trees,<br />
or to discuss your options.<br />

Choosing an investment property<br />
Purchasing an investment property is one way to<br />
spread financial risk.<br />
While many buyers look for capital gain, this may not<br />
be immediate. It will depend on the real estate market<br />
with return likely to take time.<br />
<strong>The</strong> return on investment from rental income is not<br />
high and once expenses and tax are deducted, may be<br />
similar to the interest earned from money invested long<br />
term with a bank.<br />
<strong>The</strong> new rules that limit bank lending also mean people<br />
can only borrow up to 40% of the value of the equity<br />
they have in their own family home, which may limit the<br />
budget.<br />
Sarah Yeates from Property Brokers in Rolleston<br />
suggests that most investors work on a return basis and<br />
that this is narrowing; with between 5-7% currently seen<br />
as a reasonably good return for a residential property.<br />
In calculating total expenses, include rates, insurance,<br />
property management fees, an estimate for repairs and<br />
maintenance, and potential loss of rent between rental<br />
periods. This will put you in a better position to identify a<br />
realistic rental return.<br />
“Many people consider maintenance and whether a<br />
property will be easy to look after as well as if it meets<br />
tenancy regulations, such as insulation,” adds Sarah who<br />
advocates factoring a figure for maintenance<br />
into the budget when purchasing a property.<br />
“An investor needs to decide what their<br />
return strategy is on a property and whether<br />
they want a return on investment from the<br />
rental itself or a mix of this and capital gain,”<br />
suggests Mike Goatley, from One Agency in<br />
Rolleston.<br />
Mike says that capital gain is easier in a<br />
rising value market whereas rental return<br />
on capital investment is more important in a<br />
stable market with buy and hold long-term, a<br />
better approach.<br />
Sarah recommends having a rental<br />
appraisal completed on any prospective investment<br />
property to gain an understanding of the potential<br />
achievable rent. This will also identify costs that may need<br />
to be incurred upfront, such as installing smoke alarms to<br />
bring a property up to standard for renting.<br />
Sarah also believes the location of a property is relevant<br />
with people attracted to Rolleston for lifestyle reasons like<br />
having space for children to play. Many will rent before<br />
they buy so gaining an impression of likely tenants in an<br />
area and choosing properties that provide for their needs<br />
is a good idea.<br />
Mike enlists the services of a Property Manager to<br />
assess any potential investment property for a client. He<br />
lists the key things to look for in a rental property as:<br />
• permanent materials and low maintenance house and<br />
grounds without too many shrubs or greenery that need<br />
regular attention;<br />
• efficient heating and good insulation; and<br />
• positioning for sun and family living and preferably<br />
with 3-4 bedrooms.<br />
Choosing a property that will attract a wide range of<br />
tenants also helps ensure it will always be tenanted.<br />
Positioning for the sun is preferable.<br />
Sunny 3-4 bedroom rentals with space for children<br />
to play are popular in Rolleston.<br />
Property managers can assess a property’s<br />
potential as an investment.<br />
Low maintenance house and grounds are best for rentals.<br />
