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 />

FROM<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 />

experiencing recently. We<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 />

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 />

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 />

gradually over many years, mostly starting with<br />

a reduction in speech clarity. This can be<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 />

A young John<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 />

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 />

ADVERTORIAL<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 />

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 />

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 />

FUTURE: A match between<br />

Rolleston and Papanui was<br />

one of five junior games in<br />

Rolleston’s recent inaugural<br />

club day. ​<br />

Kim’s<br />

Fashion Quarterly<br />

from Kim Taylor —Viva La Moda<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 />

Rolleston Warriors<br />

hold first club day<br />

THE Rolleston Warriors<br />

are looking to build a<br />

strong future after a<br />

successful inaugural rugby<br />

league club day.<br />

Mayor Sam Broughton<br />

ceremony to unveil<br />

the new goalposts at<br />

Brookside Park.<br />

<strong>The</strong> addition of the goal<br />

posts was a major aim<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 />

<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 />

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 />

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 />
