‘Drown him’ case: Suspects named<br />

• By Andrew King<br />

POLICE HAVE been given<br />

names of suspects who chanted<br />

“drown him” during a brutal<br />

assault on a teenager.<br />

The 15-year-old was attacked<br />

by a group in Rolleston after the<br />

fireworks display on <strong>November</strong><br />

4. They dragged him to a water<br />

race and held his head under water.<br />

Some in the group chanted<br />

“drown him”.<br />

The victim is a talented sportsman<br />

and was back on the sports<br />

field at the weekend, his mother,<br />

who did not want to be named,<br />

said yesterday.<br />

Many people have posted<br />

about the incident online,<br />

including friends of the victim<br />

who believe they know who the<br />

attackers were, his mother said.<br />

Names had been given to the<br />

police.<br />

A friend of the family posted<br />

a message on their behalf, which<br />

received more than 600 reactions<br />

and a number of comments offering<br />

support and condemning<br />

the attack.<br />

The 15-year-old’s mother said<br />

the support has been amazing.<br />

It took more than an hour-anda-half<br />

to finish shopping at the<br />

supermarket because people kept<br />

stopping her.<br />

“It was amazing to see how<br />

many people came up to us,” she<br />

said.<br />

But police are saying little publicly<br />

about finding the offenders.<br />

Detective Senior Sergeant<br />

Mike Ford told the <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong><br />

yesterday there was no update.<br />

Inquiries are ongoing, he said.<br />

The four alleged offenders are<br />

all teenagers, the <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong><br />

has been told.<br />

The attack appears to have<br />

been robbery-motivated.<br />

Four youths approached<br />

the teenager on Tennyson St,<br />

Rolleston, at about 10.30pm and<br />

demanded his cap.<br />

When he refused to hand it<br />

over, he was attacked. The group<br />

repeatedly punched him and<br />

kicked him on the ground.<br />

They dragged him to a nearby<br />

water drain and held his head<br />

under the water.<br />

He eventually broke free and<br />

attempted to run home.<br />

His mother said he collapsed<br />

near their house and caught the<br />

attention of the neighbour’s who<br />

brought him home.<br />

“I didn’t recognise him, I<br />

thought ‘who the hell are you’,”<br />

she said.<br />

“He couldn’t talk and his<br />

mouth was full of blood.”<br />

They called 111 and he was<br />

taken to Christchurch Hospital.<br />

The teenager was discharged<br />

from hospital the following day.<br />

giants who competed to lift these<br />

massive stones at the Hororata Highland<br />

Games on Saturday. More than 10,000<br />

attended the Scottish festival which<br />

is one of the largest of its kind in the<br />

Southern Hemisphere.<br />

FROM<br />

THE<br />

EDITOR’S<br />

DESK<br />

PEOPLE ARE sometimes no<br />

better than a pack of dogs.<br />

When a pack of dogs chance<br />

across a lone animal, or person<br />

for that matter, they instinctively<br />

grow in confidence and aggression.<br />

Usually all it takes for the attack<br />

button to be pushed is for<br />

one or two of the dogs to push<br />

the envelope a bit further than<br />

normal, particularly when the<br />

lone animal shows fear or is<br />

pushed to the ground.<br />

The same can be said of the<br />

teenagers (see page 1) who<br />

attacked a 15-year-old in Rolleston.<br />

Not satisfied with giving him<br />

a towelling, he was dragged to a<br />

drain and had his head held under<br />

water. The others watching<br />

chanted “drown him’.<br />

That’s pack mentality. The<br />

good news is it seems the offenders<br />

have been identified.<br />

Council takes action<br />

to ensure playgrounds are safe<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

Sam<br />

Broughton<br />

A CRACKDOWN on the safety<br />

of playground equipment across<br />

the district is to get under way<br />

to ensure health and safety<br />

standards are met.<br />

More than 70 playgrounds are<br />

managed by the<br />

district council.<br />

A report was<br />

put forward to the<br />

district council’s<br />

audit and risk subcommittee<br />

recently.<br />

In the report,<br />

bench-marking<br />

tool Yardstick<br />

measured <strong>Selwyn</strong> as having<br />

about eight playgrounds per 1000<br />

children under the age of 15.<br />

This compares to the rest of<br />

the country which has a median<br />

of three playgrounds per 1000<br />

children.<br />

It said, while this provides<br />

a high level of services for the<br />

district, it comes with increased<br />

inspection, maintenance, compliance<br />

and management costs.<br />

Greendale Domain and<br />

Glentunnel Holiday Park were<br />

identified as high hazard level<br />

playgrounds.<br />

Council staff are working<br />

PROBLEMATIC: Greendale Domain, along with the Glentunnel<br />

Holiday Park playground, have been identified as a high hazard<br />

in a district council report.<br />

with the Greendale Recreation<br />

Reserve management committee<br />

to replace the play equipment.<br />

The playground at Glentunnel<br />

is not owned by the district<br />

council but installed on its land.<br />

Concerns over the equipment<br />

will be raised with the campground<br />

lessee – issues were first<br />

raised in 2010 but have not been<br />

addressed.<br />

Glentunnel Holiday Park owner<br />

Noel Langridge said he could<br />

not comment because the district<br />

council had not yet addressed the<br />

problem with them.<br />

The committee approved all<br />

district council-owned playgrounds<br />

and flying foxes are to<br />

have monthly safety and operational<br />

inspections.<br />

Changes approved include<br />

independent inspections by the<br />

Royal Society for the Prevention<br />

of Accidents each year.<br />

Inspections of flying foxes will<br />

occur annually, while outdoor<br />

fitness equipment inspections are<br />

ON THE DOMAIN LINCOLN 3 MARCH 2018<br />

to be established in the district<br />

council’s reserve contracts.<br />

Mayor Sam Broughton said<br />

playgrounds in the district and<br />

the number of people using them<br />

has increased.<br />

“I think where we have infrastructure<br />

we have built as a<br />

council we need to make sure it<br />

is safely used,” he said.<br />

Lincoln hospitality scoops top award<br />

LINCOLN Hospitality Ltd –<br />

Catering has been recognised as<br />

the overall winner for the <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

Responsible Business Awards.<br />

The Lincoln Envirotown<br />

Trust held its awards celebrating<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> businesses’ commitment<br />

to environmental sustainability<br />

and community involvement<br />

Lincoln University Early<br />

Childhood Centre won the new<br />

special “educators” trophy donated<br />

by the Biological Husbandry<br />

Unit Organics Trust.<br />

While the award ceremonies<br />

had been previously held in different<br />

areas, it was the first time<br />

the whole district came together<br />

to receive recognition for their<br />

work.<br />

The event was held at the<br />

Rolleston Community Centre<br />

lounge.<br />

Lincoln Envirotown trustee<br />

Sue Jarvis said there were two excellent<br />

presentations to encourage<br />

businesses to do more.<br />

Presentations were made by<br />

James McDonald of Yealands<br />

Wineries and Martin and Lisa<br />

Bennett of The Laboratory in<br />

Lincoln.<br />

Mr McDonald gave an insight<br />

into the myriad of steps that they<br />

have taken to become a sustainable<br />

enterprise.<br />

There were hurdles along the<br />

way – the attempt to use guinea<br />

pigs to be non-fuel burning<br />

“mowers” was met with glee by<br />

the hawk population.<br />

The guinea pigs had to be<br />

replaced with miniature sheep<br />

imported at great expense.<br />

The Laboratory Lincoln discussed<br />

how they had built their<br />

establishment using materials<br />

from buildings condemned by<br />

the Canterbury earthquakes.<br />

Rangi Ruru Girls’ School staircases<br />

and the former Hororata<br />

pub’s bar are part of The Laboratory’s<br />

establishment.<br />

Dr Jarvis said all participants<br />

were winners and the trust<br />

would like to congratulate everyone.<br />

Many schools have waste-free<br />

lunch boxes, some enterprises<br />

are re-using water, others have<br />

“fill your own bottle or container<br />

schemes” and native tree planting<br />

is becoming a common<br />

RECOGNISED: : Assessor<br />

Darryl Griffin with Lincoln<br />

Hospitality Ltd catering<br />

also like to thank Dave Fitzjohn<br />

and the trust for all their hard<br />

work and the district council for<br />

its financial support.<br />

“It was a true celebration of<br />

the wonderful things businesses<br />

are doing alongside providing us<br />

with our goods and services,” Dr<br />

Jarvis said.<br />

Hearing clinic to host free talks on tinnitus<br />

Do you have constant buzz or ringing in your<br />

ears or head? Tinnitus affects up to 15 per cent<br />

of the population yet there is a persistent myth<br />

that nothing can be done to treat it, says audiologist<br />

Brenna Sincock.<br />

it differently, although common manifestations<br />

include hearing buzzing, whistling, roaring or<br />

hissing sounds. Its exhausting and frustrating<br />

and it is important that people are aware that<br />

there are solutions and relief is achievable.<br />

To dispel that notion and share with people the<br />

latest developments in treatment, her clinic,<br />

Brenna Sincock Hearing will this month host<br />

free seminars with international guest speaker<br />

Dr Jill Benner.<br />

Benner’s doctorate in audiology from Pennsylvania’s<br />

Bloomsburg University is complemented<br />

by specialist work in neurological disorders of<br />

the ear, and seats for the <strong>November</strong> 20 and 21<br />

seminars are expected to fill quickly. Tinnitus,<br />

characterised by noises heard in the ear or head,<br />

is for a minority of sufferers extremely bothersome.<br />

Unfortunately, many people delay seeking<br />

help due to a perception there is no way to<br />

alleviate the condition, Brenna says.<br />

“People need to know there are solutions,” she<br />

says. “The technology has come so far and a<br />

great percentage of people experience huge<br />

relief now due to this.” While tinnitus is often<br />

associated with hearing loss – particularly<br />

noise-related hearing loss – it can also present<br />

in otherwise unaffected people, Brenna says.<br />

It is not a disease but a symptom, she notes,<br />

adding that regardless of the cause, the sooner<br />

treatment is provided, the more effective it is.<br />

A small hearing aid can sometimes put an end<br />

to tinnitus on the spot, while in other cases<br />

strategies can be learned to minimise the noises<br />

heard. These techniques can result in marked<br />

improvements and a better quality of life. Brenna<br />

says every person with tinnitus experiences<br />

In addition to noise-induced hearing loss, tinnitus<br />

can also result from buildup of earwax, ear<br />

infections, temporary exposure to loud sounds,<br />

and age-related hearing loss.<br />

Dr Benner’s expertise in neurotology follows<br />

from a long tenure at an ear, nose and throat<br />

practice in the United States. She is passionate<br />

about helping people with their hearing and her<br />

seminar is sure to inform attendees.<br />

“Knowledge is key”, says Brenna. “Our aim is to<br />

inform people of their options so they can live<br />

without the impact of tinnitus. “<br />

> To secure a place at the free-of-charge<br />

seminars on tinnitus, being held at Lincoln &<br />

Rolleston Community Cenrtres on <strong>November</strong> 20<br />

and 21, contact the clinic on 03 390 2332.<br />

at 36 TennysonStreet, Rolleston and more<br />

Water races set to close<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

THE CLOSURE of water races<br />

in Sheffield and Springfield has<br />

been described as “death by<br />

a thousand cuts” by a district<br />

councillor.<br />

Debra Hasson<br />

is concerned the<br />

closure of water<br />

races in Malvern<br />

to make way for<br />

the Central Plains<br />

Water scheme is<br />

short-term capital<br />

Debra<br />

Hasson<br />

Craig<br />

Watson<br />

gain.<br />

Her concerns<br />

were raised at the<br />

district council<br />

meeting last week.<br />

The closures were<br />

approved by the<br />

district council<br />

with Cr Hasson’s<br />

vote recorded<br />

against the decision.<br />

“We are potentially<br />

losing a water<br />

resource for our farming community<br />

long-term,” Cr Hasson<br />

said.<br />

She told <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> the<br />

district council needed to take<br />

into account the impact CPW’s<br />

CHANGE: Water races in Springfield and Sheffield are closing<br />

because of the CPW scheme. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<br />

pipes will have on cropping and<br />

biodiversity in the future.<br />

“It is not all going to be<br />

transferred to dairy, it needs<br />

to be transferred to cropping.<br />

Cropping requires fertilisation<br />

of seeds. If you are going to pipe<br />

everything and deliver it by the<br />

irrigation scheme, how is the<br />

biodiversity going to survive?”<br />

she said.<br />

But her concern received little<br />

support from other councillors.<br />

Cr Craig Watson said while it<br />

could be argued the closures are<br />

interfering with future farming,<br />

the district council is only closing<br />

down rats and mice, leaving<br />

the district with the overall<br />

boom of the water race.<br />

“We lessen our takes but we<br />

increase, maintain our costs . . .<br />

This is the right thing to do,” he<br />

said.<br />

His views were backed by Cr<br />

Pat McEvedy who said the decision<br />

hasn’t been reached lightly<br />

and council has already agreed<br />

to this process by helping fund<br />

CPW.<br />

In June, a report went to<br />

the sub-committee to approve<br />

consultation over the water race<br />

closures.<br />

The closures received 100 per<br />

cent support and no submissions<br />

were received.<br />

The report put to the district<br />

council highlighted the Department<br />

of Conservation did not<br />

have the resources to go collect<br />

the species from the water races<br />

free of charge.<br />

The water races potentially<br />

have longfin eel, Canterbury<br />

galaxias, upland bully and freshwater<br />

mussels.<br />

Cr Nicole Reid said it needs to<br />

find a suitable way to collect the<br />

fish to protect the species.<br />

“That should be a requirement<br />

of being able to close that down,”<br />

she said.<br />

But the district council’s water<br />

asset manager Murray England<br />

said if DOC can’t do it, a ecologist<br />

will, meaning the ratepayer<br />

has to fund the fish removal.<br />

The report said companies<br />

equipped to undertake electrofishing<br />

are likely to attract a<br />

significant cost.<br />

DRAFT CEMETERY BYLAW<br />

The district council has approved<br />

a draft Cemetery Bylaw for public<br />

consultation. The draft bylaw,<br />

which updates the existing 2011<br />

bylaw, regulates the use and management<br />

of district council cemeteries<br />

and provides guidance for<br />

the public on information such as<br />

the purchase of plots, provisions<br />

for interments, requirements for<br />

placing memorials and keeping<br />

graves in order. The district council<br />

maintains 19 cemeteries. The<br />

proposed bylaw includes some<br />

changes to ensure legislative compliance<br />

to provide for the comfort<br />

and well-being of visitors and to<br />

reflect current community needs.<br />

Consultation will be open until<br />

December 11, with hearings to be<br />

held in February next year.<br />

LAKE COLERIDGE WATER<br />

A boil water notice is in place for<br />

levels were above recommended<br />

levels. E. coli was detected in the<br />

post-UV area of water treatment<br />

and no e. coli has been detected in<br />

the reticulation zone. The scheme<br />

is currently being chlorinated.<br />

However, residents are advised<br />

RELIEF:<br />

Residents in<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> may<br />

not have<br />

restrictions on<br />

the amount of<br />

water they use<br />

over summer.<br />

High rainfall may mean<br />

no water restrictions<br />

HIGH rainfall throughout<br />

the year may mean<br />

properties in <strong>Selwyn</strong> will<br />

not have to go on water<br />

restrictions over summer.<br />

The district council<br />

wants to ensure properties<br />

connected to its water supplies<br />

can have good water<br />

service.<br />

Asset manager Murray<br />

Washington said high<br />

rainfall during winter<br />

meant the district council<br />

is in a good position to<br />

meet the increased water<br />

demand during summer.<br />

“There is no immediate<br />

need for mandatory water<br />

restrictions,” he said.<br />

But Mr Washington<br />

said it is asking residents<br />

to consider changing their<br />

lawn irrigation timing to<br />

help keep the water networks<br />

stable.<br />

“Water supplies are<br />

placed under pressure<br />

during summer as many<br />

people decide to water<br />

their lawns and gardens at<br />

the same time,” he said.<br />

Residents on district<br />

council water supplies<br />

are encouraged to water<br />

lawns between 9pm-6am<br />

or 9am-4pm, as these are<br />

times when households use<br />

the least water. Residents<br />

should avoid irrigating<br />

between 6-9am or 4-9pm<br />

and check the weather conditions<br />

before watering.<br />

A district council media<br />

release said watering lawns<br />

during the middle of the<br />

day, during hot days or<br />

when a nor’west wind is<br />

blowing, result in a lot of<br />

water evaporating.<br />

Watering on a cooler<br />

overcast day is a better<br />

option as it has the opportunity<br />

to soak into lawns<br />

and gardens.<br />

If demand for water<br />

increases over summer,<br />

water restrictions may<br />

be introduced requiring<br />

households to avoid watering<br />

lawns at specific times.<br />

Summer water<br />

restrictions are commonly<br />

used in New Zealand as a<br />

way to manage demand for<br />

water.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

Street names causing friction<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

SELWYN’S POLICY for naming<br />

newly built roads has come<br />

under scrutiny after more effort<br />

than usual went into deciding a<br />

name for a road in Rolleston last<br />

week.<br />

The district council was tasked<br />

with approving a new name for<br />

a road in the<br />

Twyn Visions<br />

Ltd subdivision<br />

at its meeting on<br />

Wednesday.<br />

The three<br />

names to choose<br />

from were Ruby<br />

Jean Drive, Jean<br />

Mark<br />

Alexander<br />

Grant Miller<br />

Archie Drive<br />

and Twyn Visions<br />

Drive.<br />

The options<br />

were approved<br />

by Land Information<br />

New<br />

Zealand.<br />

But not everyone<br />

was on<br />

the same page<br />

when it came to<br />

choosing their<br />

preferred name.<br />

Councillor Mark Alexander<br />

was the first to raise concerns<br />

over the name of Ruby Jean<br />

Drive due the township already<br />

GROWING PAINS: How streets are named in new subdivisions is causing friction around the<br />

district council table.<br />

having a road called Ruby Drive.<br />

“Two roads beginning with<br />

Ruby in the same township has<br />

potential for confusion of emergency<br />

services and if we can do<br />

our best to avoid that confusion<br />

we should,” he said.<br />

He said it should be named<br />

Jean Archie Drive.<br />

His stance was supported by<br />

district councillor Craig Watson.<br />

Councillors Nicole Reid and<br />

Debra Hasson raised concerns<br />

about the lack of information<br />

provided on the background<br />

behind the names.<br />

Cr Hasson suggested the<br />

district council may need to look<br />

into its naming policy.<br />

“We are starting to get lots<br />

of double barrel names . . . I<br />

understand it is named after a<br />

subdivision. Why couldn’t it just<br />

be Twyn Drive or Vision Drive,<br />

something more simple,” she<br />

said.<br />

But Cr Alexander said he was<br />

not a fan of Twyn Visions Drive.<br />

He said the spelling would always<br />

create confusion and he did<br />

not favour developers naming<br />

roads after themselves.<br />

But councillor Grant Miller<br />

said these are significant subdivisions<br />

adding a lot to the community.<br />

“It is the least we can do if it<br />

suits them,” he said.<br />

Cr Miller said while it would<br />

be good to get an explanation on<br />

the background on the names,<br />

developers are usually trying to<br />

honour a significant relation or<br />

person.<br />

But Deputy Mayor Malcolm<br />

Lyall said: “I would just like to<br />

remind Cr Miller the developers<br />

might put a lot of money into our<br />

subdivision but they also take a<br />

lot of money out.”<br />

But the argument brought a<br />

splash of humour to the table<br />

with councillor Pat McEvedy<br />

describing the debate as “turning<br />

into a farce” and Mayor Sam<br />

Broughton joking it was good<br />

to see what items on the agenda<br />

were most hotly debated.<br />

The district council approved<br />

Jean Archie Drive.<br />

Drivers should stop<br />

at busy Tai Tapu<br />

intersection<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

MOTORISTS ARE being urged<br />

to stop at a busy intersection in<br />

Tai Tapu.<br />

Police have assessed the<br />

intersection of Old Tai Tapu Rd<br />

and Christchurch Akaroa Rd<br />

following complaints of poor<br />

visibility and motorists failing<br />

to stop.<br />

Senior Sergeant Pete Stills recently<br />

drove to the intersection<br />

to observe.<br />

“My attitude was if you stop<br />

and look, the visibility was<br />

sufficient. One of the issues of<br />

not coming to a complete stop<br />

is you cut down your time, you<br />

cut down your ability to have a<br />

good look,” he said.<br />

The Tai Tapu Community<br />

Association has been working<br />

to resolve the issues for more<br />

than a year.<br />

But the committee’s chairman<br />

Gerald Carter said he<br />

could not comment on the<br />

resolutions as it is for the New<br />

Zealand Transport Agency and<br />

the district council to comment<br />

on.<br />

The district council’s asset<br />

engineer Mark Chamberlain<br />

said it was not aware of any<br />

submissions made in the past 12<br />

months on the intersection.<br />

It previously had a speed indicator<br />

on Lincoln Tai Tapu Rd<br />

which turns into Old Tai Tapu<br />

Rd at the intersection as part of<br />

four signs rotated throughout<br />

the district.<br />

But it does not have plans to<br />

install more.<br />

NZTA traffic safety engineer<br />

David Scarlet said there are<br />

already speed indicator devices<br />

within the township at the approaches<br />

to the school.<br />

It comes as concerns were<br />

raised over the safety of large<br />

groups of cyclists in the area are<br />

assembling near The Store before<br />

embarking on their cycle<br />

trip.<br />

A resident, who did not wish<br />

to be named, said on a recent<br />

Sunday morning there were cyclists<br />

scattered across the road<br />

and they did not seem to have<br />

consideration for other people<br />

using the road.<br />

But police had not received<br />

complaints about cyclists at the<br />

intersection.<br />

SAFETY FIRST: Springston School pupils are learning how to operate their school patrol<br />

Pupils make crossing the roads<br />

around Springston School safer<br />

SPRINGSTON SCHOOL pupils<br />

have taken to the street to learn<br />

more about road safety.<br />

Police school community<br />

officer, Constable Rick Groen,<br />

was instructing pupils on road<br />

safety at a kea crossing outside<br />

the school recently.<br />

Pupils have been learning how<br />

to operate patrols across kea<br />

crossings. Taking part in the<br />

school patrol involves members<br />

to extend stop signs onto the<br />

road in both directions, which<br />

signal approaching drivers to<br />

stop.<br />

Once the traffic is slowing or<br />

has stopped, the patrol signals to<br />

waiting pedestrians that it’s safe<br />

to cross the road.<br />

Patrol members undergo a<br />

full day’s training, comprising<br />

of theory in the classroom<br />

followed by practical work on<br />

the street.<br />

Once qualified, patrollers are<br />

given a refresher course after<br />

two to three months and stay<br />

with the patrol for a minimum<br />

of one, and up to three, years.<br />

It just makes<br />

Water Sense!<br />

Summer is on its way, and we want to ensure properties connected to Council water supplies can<br />

enjoy good water service during the warmer time of year.<br />

High rainfall during winter means the Council is in a good position to meet increased water<br />

demand during summer, with no immediate need for mandatory water restrictions.<br />

However, we do ask residents to consider changing their lawn irrigation timing to help keep the<br />

water networks stable. Water supplies are placed under pressure during summer as many people<br />

decide to water their lawns and gardens at the same time.<br />

So that we can continue to supply households with water over summer, and to help conserve water,<br />

we are recommending that residents on Council water supplies try to water lawns between 9am–<br />

4pm and 9pm–6am (most recommended). These are times when households use the least water.<br />

If demand for water increases over summer, water restrictions may be introduced requiring<br />

households to avoid watering lawns at specific times. Summer water restrictions are commonly<br />

used in New Zealand as a way to manage demand for water.<br />

When to water your lawn or garden<br />

The best time to irrigate is between 9pm–<br />

6am, or alternatively between 9am–4pm.<br />

Avoid irrigating between 6–9am<br />

or 4–9pm.<br />

Check weather conditions before<br />

watering. Watering your lawn during the<br />

middle of the day, during hot days or<br />

when a Nor’ West is blowing results in a<br />

lot of water evaporating. Watering on a<br />

cooler overcast day is a better option as<br />

water has the opportunity to soak into<br />

your lawn or garden.<br />

Garden waste and scrap<br />

(not commercial volumes). Scrap metal drop off is free.<br />

Garden waste costs $5 per car, $10 per ute or single axle trailer or<br />

gate fees will be donated to the Ellesmere Heritage Park. For more<br />

information phone 347 2800 or email admin@selwyn.govt.nz.<br />

Baleage on roadsides<br />

We have been made aware of baleage being stored on roadsides<br />

across the district.<br />

We would like to remind farmers that it is an offence under the<br />

Traffic and Parking Bylaw to store baleage on road verges.<br />

Failure to comply with this can result in a fine of up to $1,500. For<br />

enquiries please contact Joanne Harkerss on 347 2800.<br />

Book identifies Polynesian origins<br />

A topic at Pan Pacific conferences has been<br />

where Polynesian people originated and<br />

a number of scientists have explored this<br />

question.<br />

By 1961, solid evidence backed Polynesians<br />

as the first people to live in the Pacific. Part<br />

of the Austronesian family, Polynesians have<br />

been linked indigenously and genetically<br />

to the people of Southeast Asia, Taiwan and<br />

Madagascar.<br />

Recent research carried out, including<br />

that by local Historian Cedric Livingstone,<br />

points to a strong connection between the<br />

Polynesian people and South Africa, Egypt and<br />

Madagascar.<br />

As a child, Cedric lived on the other side of the<br />

fence from the Porangahau Pa and became<br />

inextricably linked to its people through a<br />

Tapu placed over him that protected him and<br />

his family, and bestowed the role of keeper<br />

of the secrets and Māori history. Māori elders<br />

later requested him to find their homeland.<br />

In researching where New Zealand Polynesians<br />

originated, Cedric believes the journey began<br />

on the veldt of South Africa. Indications of this<br />

are: the Poi food paste eaten there, which is<br />

a traditional dish of Polynesians; language<br />

similarities; Lapita pottery; canoe design; and<br />

similarity between Māori Tukutuku panels and<br />

clothing of the time.<br />

In his research, Cedric has found many similar<br />

representations which are recorded in his<br />

book ‘The Origin of the Polynesians’. The book<br />

explores the discovery of the Polynesians’<br />

homeland and the route the pre-Polynesians/<br />

Austronesian Māoris used to get to the Pacific<br />

some 3,300 years ago.<br />

Starting with the realisation that a Māori<br />

woman in New Zealand was called Titihuia,<br />

named after a little insect eating bird only<br />

found on the veldt of South Africa – the<br />

Titihuia, Cedric believes a catastrophic event<br />

on the veldt caused various tribes to flee to the<br />

island of Madagascar where they developed<br />

a common language. He suggests there was<br />

further migration north to Egypt where words<br />

of that language correspond with Māori, for<br />

example Ra meaning sun or the term for great<br />

prestige, ah-mana (shortened to mana).<br />

One of these refugees was a woman called Kea,<br />

who when the tribes left Madagascar to travel<br />

north along the East Coast of Africa, married<br />

the Egyptian Pharaoh of the day. Kea’s remains<br />

are the only known remains of an Austronesian<br />

– the ancestors of the Polynesians. Her 3,300<br />

year old mummified body is in the cave of<br />

Cairo Museum, which undertook the DNA<br />

testing.<br />

‘The Origin of the Polynesians’ presents many<br />

interesting arguments to support the scenario<br />

that Polynesian roots go back to the veldt of<br />

South Africa.<br />

Cedric Livingstone’s book ‘The Origin of the<br />

Polynesians’ makes interesting reading. It<br />

can be purchased at The Little Book Company<br />

Bookshop in Rangiora, which you contact via<br />

Facebook.<br />

“The Origin of the<br />

Polynesians”<br />

The two outside idols are Egyptian, the centre one is Polynesian. The<br />

Egyptian idol Bes is the God for the protection of women and infants<br />

during childbirth.<br />

A 100% match for the Maori Tiki, “The traditional meaning of the Tiki<br />

being the God of protection of women and infants during childbirth<br />

- a meaning too complicated be a coincidence”.<br />

This is the PROOF that the Egyptians came to New Zealand .<br />

The Origin of the Polynesians is available at the Little Book Company<br />

bookshop in Rangiora.<br />

Canterbury will still have a<br />

strong voice in Parliament<br />

MP for <strong>Selwyn</strong> Amy<br />

Adams writes about<br />

how small business<br />

owners in <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

may be affected if the<br />

Government abolishes<br />

its 90-day trial period<br />

for new employees<br />

This week Parliament<br />

sits again for the first time<br />

since the election with a<br />

new minority Government<br />

in place.<br />

While it is a new experience<br />

sitting in the opposition<br />

benches, I remain<br />

incredibly proud to be<br />

representing <strong>Selwyn</strong> once<br />

again and will continue<br />

to focus on the issues that<br />

matter to our communities.<br />

Canterbury was wellrepresented<br />

under the<br />

previous Government<br />

with a number of cabinet<br />

ministers hailing from this<br />

region.<br />

Furthermore, both Sir<br />

John Key and Leader of the<br />

Opposition Bill English<br />

grew up in the South<br />

Island.<br />

Unfortunately, the new<br />

Government has only one<br />

Canterbury-based minister<br />

in the new Cabinet, which<br />

is where the key decisions<br />

Amy Adams<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> MP<br />

in Government are made.<br />

Our region will still have<br />

a strong voice in Parliament,<br />

however, as I am<br />

joined by many National<br />

colleagues in the Opposition<br />

who are based in<br />

Canterbury electorates and<br />

have a strong understanding<br />

of what matters to<br />

Cantabrians going about<br />

their daily lives, whether in<br />

a small rural settlement or<br />

in our larger urban centres.<br />

In my own role as the<br />

Opposition spokeswoman<br />

for justice and workplace<br />

relations and safety I am<br />

already concerned at the<br />

direction that the new<br />

Government is taking in<br />

announcing its intention<br />

to abolish the 90-day trial<br />

period for new employees.<br />

I have spoken to many<br />

small business owners<br />

around <strong>Selwyn</strong> over the<br />

past few years and they<br />

have told me that this<br />

legislation has encouraged<br />

them to take a risk in hiring<br />

a new staff member,<br />

EMPLOYMENT:<br />

Concern is<br />

raised at the<br />

direction<br />

that the new<br />

Government<br />

is taking in<br />

announcing<br />

its intention<br />

to abolish the<br />

90-day trial<br />

period for new<br />

employees.<br />

particularly a young and<br />

inexperienced one.<br />

In most cases, the new<br />

staff member has worked<br />

out well and proven to be<br />

an asset to their business.<br />

However, if the staff<br />

member does not perform<br />

satisfactorily, the employer<br />

is able to end the employment<br />

relationship with<br />

notice and after having<br />

given the employee appropriate<br />

feedback and the<br />

opportunity to improve.<br />

The 90-day trial period<br />

is not just a useful tool for<br />

small business owners but<br />

is also appreciated by many<br />

employees because it gives<br />

them the opportunity to<br />

decide if a new job is really<br />

suited to them before committing<br />

to it long-term.<br />

GOOD IDEA: Mayor Sam Broughton is offering to give $10 to any 10-year-old<br />

living in the district with a good idea they want to get off the ground. If you<br />

have an idea, email it in under 200 words to bernadette.ryan@selwyn.govt.nz<br />

Cash offer among<br />

mayor’s initiatives<br />

Mayor Sam Broughton<br />

writes about three<br />

quirky initiatives he<br />

has been working on<br />

to help the creative<br />

minds in <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

Sam<br />

Broughton<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> Mayor<br />

THERE ARE three new<br />

initiatives that I have been<br />

working on with others to<br />

support participation in<br />

our community.<br />

They are 10TEN10, $500<br />

community solution, and<br />

the ‘Largest Pumpkin’<br />

growing competition.<br />

Ten dollars for 10<br />

10-year-olds is a way to<br />

support new ideas that<br />

our young people have.<br />

In my role, I am privileged<br />

to meet lots of great<br />

people who need a helping<br />

hand to get an idea off the<br />

ground.<br />

I know $10 isn’t much<br />

but <strong>Selwyn</strong> is full of<br />

10-year-olds with entrepreneurial<br />

skills who are<br />

excited about multiplying<br />

those dollars into two or<br />

three times that amount.<br />

Posters and opportunities<br />

for this have been<br />

distributed through our<br />

schools.<br />

The $500 community<br />

solution is about getting a<br />

solution completed.<br />

The district council is<br />

involved in lots of great<br />

projects but, by our<br />

nature, sometimes things<br />

can take a while or cost<br />

more that what might be<br />

expected.<br />

If you’re thinking “why<br />

doesn’t the district council<br />

get onto doing . . . I know<br />

I could do it for $500”,<br />

then I want to hear from<br />

you.<br />

You can email your idea<br />

in under 200 words to<br />

bernadette.ryan@selwyn.<br />

govt.nz<br />

The pumpkin growing<br />

competition is a joint<br />

initiative with our <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

Waihora Zone Committee<br />

chairman Allen Lim.<br />

We want to see who can<br />

grow the biggest pumpkin<br />

this summer.<br />

Mr Lim has grown<br />

a number of seedlings<br />

which are being<br />

distributed to schools and<br />

individuals over the next<br />

week.<br />

Our hope is that this is<br />

also a good opportunity to<br />

talk about the use of water<br />

and nutrients as we grow<br />

food to feed the world.<br />

I’ll be growing<br />

a pumpkin at the<br />

district council offices<br />

in Rolleston over the<br />

summer.<br />

the above initiatives feel<br />

Backyard Critters<br />

Harvestmen – alien-like arachnids<br />

Mike Bowie is<br />

an ecologist<br />

who<br />

specialises in<br />

entomology<br />

(insects and<br />

other invertebrates).<br />

Each week he<br />

introduces a new<br />

species found in his<br />

backyard at Lincoln.<br />

His column aims to<br />

raise public awareness<br />

of biodiversity, the<br />

variety of living things<br />

around us<br />

COMMON: Gardeners only<br />

need to pull a few weeds<br />

out and Harvestmen will be<br />

scuttling for cover.<br />

HARVESTMEN are arachnids<br />

along with spiders, scorpions,<br />

pseudoscorpions, ticks and<br />

mites.<br />

As many as 6500 species of<br />

harvestmen are known worldwide.<br />

Harvestmen differ from<br />

spiders, having only two eyes,<br />

as opposed to six or eight in<br />

spiders.<br />

Spider abdomens are easy to<br />

differentiate from the rest of<br />

the body, whereas in harvestmen,<br />

the abdomen is fused and<br />

difficult to distinguish.<br />

Harvestmen also lack the<br />

silk-producing organs and<br />

poison glands that are present<br />

in spiders.<br />

The European harvestmen<br />

(Phalangium opilio), sometimes<br />

called daddy-long-legs, is<br />

the most common harvestmen<br />

worldwide and one of the more<br />

common invertebrates found<br />

in New Zealand vegetable<br />

gardens.<br />

You only need to pull a few<br />

weeds out and these longlegged<br />

critters will be scuttling<br />

for cover.<br />

The adult European harvestmen<br />

body is 4-9 mm in length<br />

and grey to brown in colour.<br />

They have eight very long<br />

UNIQUE: Harvestmen differ from spiders, having only two<br />

eyes, as opposed to six or eight.<br />

legs below their small ovalshaped<br />

bodies, resembling the<br />

fictional War of the Worlds<br />

martian creatures.<br />

Their two eyes are located<br />

in a raised eye mound making<br />

them truly alien-like.<br />

Harvestman are omnivores<br />

feeding on a range of dead and<br />

organic matter, but are also<br />

useful predators of small pest<br />

invertebrates including mites,<br />

aphids, caterpillars, snails and<br />

slugs.<br />

Get involved<br />

in sister city<br />

projects<br />

THE DISTRICT council and the<br />

Malvern Community Board are<br />

encouraging residents to get involved<br />

in sister city projects.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> has five international sister<br />

city relationships with opportunities<br />

for <strong>Selwyn</strong> residents to be involved<br />

in China, Japan, Indonesia and the<br />

United States.<br />

Sister cities projects include Rewi<br />

Alley celebrations in Springfield in<br />

December as well as visits to China,<br />

Japan and Indonesia next year.<br />

Sister city committee chairwoman<br />

Allison Rosanowski said a celebration<br />

is planned at Springfield in<br />

December, to mark the 120th anniversary<br />

of Rewi Alley’s birth.<br />

“We’re delighted to be welcoming<br />

more than 80 guests from China,<br />

including six from our sister city, at<br />

the celebration,” she said.<br />

The commemorative event will be<br />

held at the Rewi Alley Memorial in<br />

Springfield on Saturday, December<br />

2 at 2pm. To register an interest<br />

in attending, email rewi.alley.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

Patrolling the community<br />

Malvern Community Patrol<br />

Committee member Ian<br />

Dampier writes about what<br />

the committee has been up<br />

to in the last few weeks and<br />

road safety issues in the<br />

area<br />

AS WE rapidly come towards<br />

the end of our fourth year<br />

of operation, the Malvern<br />

Community Patrol continues to<br />

patrol the wider communities of<br />

the Malvern district responding<br />

to various situation as we find<br />

them.<br />

We continue to mount both<br />

rostered and irregular patrols<br />

day and night and respond<br />

to situations throughout the<br />

Malvern district as required.<br />

The vast majority of the<br />

community continue to be<br />

overwhelmingly supportive<br />

of our organisation and its<br />

activities and the detractors are<br />

very much in the minority, and<br />

often our target audience.<br />

To those individuals who<br />

would say that our activities<br />

should be the area of the<br />

police, and only the police, we<br />

would respond by saying that<br />

community problems require<br />

community initiatives and<br />

community solutions. Operating<br />

under the umbrella of the police,<br />

CPNZ provides that structured<br />

community response.<br />

That said, we do not see<br />

ourselves as anything other than<br />

what we are, nor are we setting<br />

ourselves up as something we<br />

are not.<br />

We simply see ourselves as<br />

a community-based volunteer<br />

service that assists where possible<br />

and liaises with other agencies<br />

to provide additional and,<br />

when necessary, a professional<br />

response.<br />

Two weeks ago, the patrol<br />

founds itself assisting the<br />

Darfield police and two locals<br />

to move half a dozen Aberdeen<br />

Angus calves off State Highway<br />

73 in the hours of darkness<br />

that were causing chaos and<br />

represented a serious risk to<br />

traffic.<br />

The previous week the patrol<br />

EYES AND EARS: The Malvern Community Patrol vehicle.<br />

responded in support of the<br />

Darfield police to reports of<br />

youths throwing stones at trains<br />

as they passed through Darfield.<br />

On the issue of road safety,<br />

while a significant element of<br />

road users continue to decry the<br />

police for issuing infringement<br />

notices and fines for breaches<br />

of the road traffic regulations<br />

and labelling this as “revenue<br />

gathering”, the Malvern<br />

Community Patrol is alarmed at<br />

the poor standard of driving on<br />

the districts roads.<br />

There is little wonder that<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> road accident statistics<br />

feature among the highest in the<br />

country as drivers continue to<br />

fail to acknowledge the formula<br />

of factors contributing to road<br />

accidents and blatantly ignore<br />

the traffic regulations.<br />

This includes failure to stop,<br />

failure to give-way, and cellphone<br />

use while operating a motor<br />

vehicle.<br />

Five minutes of observation<br />

at any of the intersections<br />

controlled by stop signs in<br />

Darfield should lead any casual<br />

observer to wonder how much<br />

consideration his or her fellow<br />

road users have for the safety of<br />

other road users.<br />

At least 50 per cent of drivers<br />

fail to abide by the letter of the<br />

law, instead preferring to<br />

treat the intersection as a “giveway”.<br />

One of the other causative<br />

factors in road traffic accidents is<br />

cellphone use.<br />

A prime example is the<br />

number of parents arriving to<br />

drop off their children at the<br />

pre-school on South Tce or at<br />

Darfield Primary School on Ross<br />

St. In the family motor vehicle<br />

while on the phone defies belief.<br />

Why would you?<br />

What on earth would<br />

possesses any adult to be driving<br />

their most treasured and<br />

vulnerable family members to<br />

day care while text messaging or<br />

talking on a mobile phone?<br />

Christchurch’s new Memorial Avenue Gateway Bridge<br />

is open to traffic but we are not finished yet!<br />

There will be speed restrictions and other traffic management on and around the bridge<br />

over the next few months while the project team lay the final road surface and carry out<br />

other work to complete the Russley Road Upgrade.<br />

Please drive with extra care and pay close attention to the signage to ensure you are in<br />

the correct lane to get to your destination. Thanks for your patience and understanding.<br />

Punch costs prop $10,000<br />

• By Rob Kidd<br />

A PROMISING Lincoln<br />

University and Canterbury<br />

rugby player has been ordered<br />

to pay a student $10,000 after a<br />

brawl.<br />

Joel Nikoli Hintz, 21, pleaded<br />

guilty to a charge of injuring by<br />

unlawful act when he appeared<br />

before the Dunedin District<br />

Court last week.<br />

In August, the big front-rower<br />

was named in the Canterbury<br />

squad which successfully<br />

defended the Ranfurly Shield in<br />

two pre-season games against<br />

Wanganui and Mid-Canterbury.<br />

He’s also a former weightlifting<br />

world champion and played for<br />

the Hawkins Trophy winning<br />

Lincoln University side.<br />

But hanging over him during<br />

those matches was the prospect<br />

of a conviction that could limit<br />

his future sporting endeavours.<br />

On April 4, Hintz and friends<br />

went to Dunedin as part of their<br />

course at Lincoln University.<br />

They were socialising at a<br />

student party in Queen St.<br />

The defendant saw two men<br />

wrestling in the backyard of the<br />

property.<br />

‘’Without warning he punched<br />

the victim once in the mouth<br />

with a closed fist,’’ a police<br />

summary said.<br />

Counsel Anne Stevens said her<br />

client had not attacked the man<br />

completely out of the blue, as<br />

court documents suggested.<br />

‘’He genuinely thought he was<br />

helping someone, but he misread<br />

the situation,’’ she said.<br />

Hintz told police he thought<br />

the men were fighting, and as<br />

he tried to separate them, the<br />

victim threw a punch at him to<br />

which he reacted.<br />

However, the injured man<br />

denied that was the case.<br />

IN COURT:<br />

Canterbury<br />

prop Joel<br />

Hintz has<br />

been ordered<br />

to pay<br />

$10,000 after<br />

injuring a man<br />

at a student<br />

party. ​<br />

The victim – an Australian<br />

man who was in the country<br />

studying, and also played rugby<br />

– suffered damage to an incisor<br />

tooth, which caused the tooth<br />

to die.<br />

He required a titanium<br />

implant and a false tooth to be<br />

fitted, Sergeant Chris George<br />

said. The estimated cost of the<br />

dental work was $12,000.<br />

The figure surprised Mrs<br />

Stevens, who had previously<br />

been informed of a smaller sum.<br />

A final cost would only be<br />

known in March next year, the<br />

court heard.<br />

Judge John Macdonald first<br />

indicated the sentencing should<br />

be adjourned for the issue to be<br />

clarified but was later persuaded<br />

to continue.<br />

Mrs Stevens said Hintz had<br />

$5000 available for the victim<br />

but could borrow more.<br />

He would suffer significantly<br />

with a conviction on his record,<br />

she said, through the inevitable<br />

hurdles it would place for<br />

overseas travel. As well as rugby,<br />

Hintz had also tasted success<br />

in weightlifting when he went<br />

to the world championships<br />

in Johannesburg in 20<strong>14</strong> as a<br />

teenager.<br />

He blitzed the competition and<br />

set a record in his weight class,<br />

according to reports at the time.<br />

Judge Macdonald acknowledged<br />

the defendant was ‘’a man of<br />

promise’’ and the conviction was<br />

the first blemish on his record.<br />

Hintz was ordered to pay the<br />

victim $10,000 (half now, half in<br />

a month) as well as court costs of<br />

$130. - Otago Daily <strong>Times</strong><br />

Darfield High come close<br />

to ultimate frisbee title<br />

• By Andrew King<br />

DARFIELD HIGH finished<br />

second in the inaugural South<br />

Island secondary school ultimate<br />

frisbee championships.<br />

Competing against five other<br />

teams at Centennial Park in<br />

Spreydon, Darfield met Cashmere<br />

in the final of the compeititon<br />

known as the ‘Ultimate<br />

Champs’.<br />

Shirley Boys’ High, Riccarton<br />

High, a combined team and a<br />

second team from Darfield were<br />

also involved in the competition.<br />

Cashmere’s Gordon Forrest<br />

was named the most spirited<br />

player in the compeititon, Riccarton’s<br />

Ben Cruse was the men’s<br />

MVP and Darfield’s Stephanie<br />

McKenzie was the women’s<br />

MVP.<br />

Shirley Boys’ High coach Scott<br />

Edwards also helped coach the<br />

Cashmere side and said it was a<br />

fantastic event and great to grow<br />

the sport.<br />

“In the last two years, the high<br />

school scene has grown a lot.<br />

There were a lot of parents that<br />

came down to watch and all the<br />

players hung around to watch the<br />

final,” he said.<br />

He said with no official tournament<br />

in the South Island, it was<br />

good to get something like this<br />

off the ground to keep up with<br />

their North Island counterparts.<br />

So what is ultimate<br />

frisbee?<br />

•Normally, it is played on a<br />

70m x 50m field with seven<br />

players on each team.<br />

•The goal is to get the<br />

frisbee into the opposition’s<br />

‘end zone’ to score a point.<br />

•The first team to 13 wins.<br />

•Teams can be made up<br />

of both men and women.<br />

•Each game runs for 45min.<br />

•The Ultimate Champs<br />

were played with<br />

only five-aside, so the<br />

field dimensions were<br />

shortened to 50m x 20m,<br />

with 30min pool games<br />

and 45min semis and finals.<br />

SECOND: A<br />

Darfield High<br />

team made<br />

the final of<br />

the inaugural<br />

South Island<br />

secondary<br />

school ultimate<br />

SELWYN UNITED will begin<br />

their first season in the mainland<br />

premier league with a new club<br />

badge.<br />

With the club now on the verge<br />

of being New Zealand Football<br />

licensed, they felt it was timely to<br />

revisit how they represent their<br />

philosophy and values.<br />

The new badge design aims to<br />

capture the local environment,<br />

which is represented by the alps<br />

and the <strong>Selwyn</strong> River, both a part<br />

the previous badge, while simplifying<br />

the colour scheme. The imagery<br />

was retained to represent<br />

the relationship between the club<br />

and local community.<br />

The introduction of the horse is<br />

a nod to the new and recognises<br />

the development of the club<br />

SPORTS<br />

NEW: <strong>Selwyn</strong> United have replaced their<br />

old club badge (above) with a new design<br />

(right).<br />

New look, new league<br />

for <strong>Selwyn</strong> football<br />

which is now known as the stallions.<br />

The horse is symbolic of freedom<br />

without restraint, of pace<br />

and beauty, and of the instinctive<br />

and the controlled. The club<br />

felt it captured their football<br />

philosophy which is built around<br />

playing attacking, free-flowing<br />

and passing football.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong>’s premier team won<br />

this year’s Canterbury championship<br />

league to gain promotion<br />

into the MPL for the first time in<br />

the club’s history.<br />

They will also have a chance to<br />

qualify for the newly reinstated<br />

South Island league, which will<br />

feature eight teams – five from<br />

the MPL and three from the<br />

southern premier league.<br />

Weedons move up country cricket table<br />

WEEDONS MOVED into the<br />

top four of the premier one-day<br />

country cricket competition<br />

with a win over Lincoln at<br />

the weekend, while Leeston<br />

Southbridge also took victory<br />

to remain unbeaten after six<br />

rounds.<br />

Lincoln struggled batting first<br />

for the second week running<br />

at Lincoln Domain, this time<br />

against Weedons, which went on<br />

to win the match by two wickets.<br />

Jeremy Benton played well for<br />

46 off 92 balls, and Dave<br />

McClelland chipped in with 25,<br />

but there were no other substantial<br />

contributions and Lincoln<br />

were all out for 126 in the penultimate<br />

over.<br />

Opener James Richards<br />

anchored the Weedons chase<br />

with 38 off 100 balls. But when<br />

Richards was removed by Arthur<br />

Paterson in the 35th over, they<br />

still needed 23 runs to win, with<br />

four wickets in hand.<br />

Batting at No 8, Tom Suyker<br />

came in to strike some lofty balls<br />

and carry Weedons over the line<br />

for a two wicket win.<br />

Leeston-Southbridge maintained<br />

their unbeaten record this<br />

season after clinically dispatching<br />

defending champions Sefton.<br />

Leeston-Southbridge won the<br />

toss at Sefton Domain and opted<br />

to bowl on what was described<br />

as a ‘tennis ball bouncy’, uneven<br />

and slow pitch. The outfield was<br />

also long, making it a good day<br />

to be a bowler.<br />

Sefton started well with consistent<br />

opening pair Lance Taylor<br />

and Tim Harrison putting on 83<br />

runs before Tim Field made the<br />

first breakthrough by removing<br />

Harrison for 27.<br />

The home side then lost<br />

wickets at regular intervals, with<br />

Taylor top-scoring with 53, as<br />

they struggled to be all out for<br />

132 in the 45th over.<br />

Field ended with the tidy<br />

figures of 3-25 and all-rounder<br />

Liam O’Sullivan bowled well<br />

to also be rewarded with three<br />

wickets. In reply, Leeston-<br />

Southbridge lost their openers<br />

early. Batting at No 3, ex-Dutch<br />

international Tim Gruijters<br />

compiled a good partnership<br />

with former Canterbury hockey<br />

representative Matt Ling to get<br />

their side through to the total in<br />

the 41st over.<br />

Darfield-South Malvern picked<br />

up their first win of the season at<br />

Darfield Domain over Oxford-<br />

Rangiora.<br />

The visitors made 174 all out<br />

after being 109/2 before David<br />

Beatty struck twice in the space<br />

of three deliveries to force a<br />

collapse in the Oxford-Rangiora<br />

innings.<br />

Darfield-South Malvern batted<br />

well in reply to secure their first<br />

win, with all of their top-order<br />

firing.<br />

Sean Carston and Simon Edwards<br />

both finished unbeaten as<br />

they steered their team home for<br />

a comfortable eight-wicket win.<br />

Meanwhile, Cheviot continued<br />

its enjoyable return to the<br />

premiership after destroying<br />

RED CROSS<br />

Ensuring a safe work place<br />

Learning first aid is not only a part of ensuring a safe<br />

work place, but also an integral part of our engagement with the<br />

wider community. We all learn the necessary skills to ensure that<br />

in times of emergency we are able to assist our work colleagues,<br />

but are we able to take these skills home, into the community or<br />

on to the sports field?<br />

not all work places are the same and the injury risk for each place<br />

can be wide and variable. The office attended by administrators<br />

does not carry the same risk as those people working with heavy<br />

machinery, or perhaps at some distance from a regular ambulance<br />

service. it is therefore essential that you pick the right first aid<br />

course to suit all of your activities – both professional and social.<br />

take, for example, an office worker who does not have a high<br />

risk work environment and whose concern might be to ensure that<br />

they can deal with minor cuts and superficial injuries, or the ability<br />

to perform effective CPr. These skills can be achieved on a course<br />

of eight hours duration and would generally fit into low to medium<br />

risk area. But take this same person on to a sports field either as a<br />

spectator or player when a higher level injury occurs. The eight<br />

hour course covering unit standards 6402 and 6401 (or 26551 and<br />

26552) does not cover head neck and spinal injuries, eye injuries,<br />

hypothermia and poisonings.<br />

The majority of injuries occur outside of the work place, in<br />

fact one in three injuries occurs in the home, making it the most<br />

common place for injuries to happen. new Zealand children<br />

are twice as likely to die through injury as children who live in<br />

australia. They mostly die as a result of motor vehicles accidents<br />

or falls in the home. fatalities from leisure and sport are not far<br />

behind those in the workplace.<br />

The wider 12 hour course teaches the additional unit standard<br />

6400 and provides a wide knowledge base for medium to high risk<br />

environments. This course covers many of the skills required to<br />

deal with the most common injuries, such as falls (which can result<br />

in head, neck and spinal injuries) and dealing with complex scenes<br />

such as motor vehicle accidents.<br />

if you are not sure on the course best suited to your needs, ask<br />

your accredited first aid training provider. They can explain the<br />

course content and give you options that will best suit your needs.<br />

Look beyond the workplace and consider your family and your<br />

location. Check that you have a good quality first aid kit that is<br />

up-to-date with replenished items, and that everyone knows where<br />

it is located.<br />

Real meat<br />

for real pets<br />

Need a Professional<br />

Taking care of your pet includes<br />

feeding them the right food. For cats and<br />

dogs, this means feeding them real meat.<br />

“Puppies, dogs and cats naturally eat<br />

meat so biscuits, which are made from<br />

various grains rather than meat, are no<br />

substitute for the real thing,” advises<br />

Bernie who owns Real Petfood in<br />

Rolleston.<br />

Feeding your pets the right food will<br />

help keep them healthy and looking<br />

good. It is also important not to feed<br />

your cats<br />

and dogs<br />

cooked<br />

bones as<br />

they can<br />

splinter,<br />

them health<br />

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections<br />

in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District<br />

Demand high for quality<br />

affordable housing in Rolleston<br />

A new concept in housing for Rolleston has been<br />

Devon Green where uptake has been high for the<br />

boutique affordable housing built there.<br />

Already a sense of community has formed in the<br />

innovative Devon Green, the initiative of Generation<br />

Homes who have just released the last two of eight<br />

stages.<br />

The success of Devon Green has led to the company<br />

deciding to become involved in further developments<br />

of this kind in Rolleston.<br />

“We’re building on Devon Green’s success where<br />

people can have an affordable home that is attractive<br />

and part of a solid community,” says Evan Beker who<br />

with his wife Nadja, own and operate Generation<br />

Homes Christchurch South.<br />

In creating Devon Green, Generation Homes worked<br />

through a robust urban design process and they will<br />

be observing a similar approach with their sister<br />

developments in two new developments in Branthwaite<br />

and East Maddisons Estate.<br />

At Devon Green, the ‘lucky last 11’ as Evan describes<br />

this final phase, supplement the previous 31 house and<br />

land packages. These premium sections immediately<br />

border or overlook the planned Devon Green park area<br />

on Haymakers Crescent.<br />

Five of the sections are<br />

in the north release with<br />

Gardening<br />

Consider growing cucumbers<br />

• By Henri Ham<br />

I OFTEN hear gardeners<br />

say nothing beats eating<br />

home-grown fruit and<br />

vegetables.<br />

In fact, I say the same thing<br />

myself. And if I had to pick one<br />

plant that this really rings true<br />

for – I would pick cucumber.<br />

The cucumbers we have<br />

grown in the last few seasons<br />

have been crisp, juicy, cool,<br />

delicious and would, no<br />

question, beat store-bought<br />

cucumber by miles any time.<br />

So, if you only plant one<br />

vegetable this season, though<br />

technically a fruit, I strongly<br />

recommend you consider<br />

cucumber. And don’t stop with<br />

just telegraph cucumber (the<br />

long, skinny one most commonly<br />

found in the supermarket),<br />

try growing a selection<br />

of cucumbers. Lebanese has<br />

tender, edible skin with sweet,<br />

mild-tasting flesh.<br />

Short-green is great for<br />

growing in smaller gardens as<br />

it produces a lot of fruit but<br />

only requires one third of the<br />

space of other cucumbers. And<br />

apple looks much like an apple<br />

(opposed to the long look of<br />

a telegraph cucumber) and it<br />

grows really nicely along the<br />

ground.<br />

Once you’ve got your plants,<br />

it’s time to find a place to plant<br />

them. They like a warm, dry<br />

and sunny spot to grow in. And<br />

most varieties will need a bit of<br />

space.<br />

Telegraph and short green<br />

cucumbers will need to either<br />

be staked or grown next to<br />

something they can grow up –<br />

like a trellis. Plant these varieties<br />

around 1m apart so each<br />

plant has its own trellis/area to<br />

spread over.<br />

• By Henri Ham<br />

THERE ARE a couple of plants<br />

where growers regularly report<br />

that they find a little tricky to<br />

grow. Coriander is one. Watermelon<br />

is another. And the<br />

one that always surprises me is<br />

basil.<br />

Basil is such a great plant<br />

to have on hand. And there<br />

are so many different varieites<br />

available to try, I thought this<br />

month I’d share my advice on<br />

how to get the best out of your<br />

basil and move it off that ‘tricky<br />

to grow’ list.<br />

Basil loves the heat. So my<br />

first piece of advice, is look<br />

for the sunniest spot in your<br />

garden and that’s where you<br />

should put your basil.<br />

If the sunniest spot at your<br />

place is in your home (for<br />

example by a kitchen window),<br />

then try growing your basil<br />

there. Basil grows really well<br />

in pots and can easily be kept<br />

inside.<br />

SUCCULENT: Apple<br />

cucumbers will grow along<br />

the ground and are a good<br />

companion plant. Telegraph<br />

cucumbers (right) will need<br />

to be staked.<br />

Apple cucumbers will happily<br />

grow along the ground and are<br />

a good companion plant for<br />

zucchini as they like the same<br />

conditions.<br />

For a regular-sized bundle<br />

with three seedlings you’ll<br />

need an area around 2m x 2m<br />

and each seedling should be<br />

planted about 1m apart. I like<br />

to imagine I’m planting them<br />

in the shape of a triangle and<br />

each seedling goes on one of<br />

the points of the triangle, this<br />

way the plants are grouped<br />

together but have enough room<br />

to spread out.<br />

Dig in some compost or leftover<br />

potting mix into the soil<br />

to ensure its friable (breaks up)<br />

before you plant.<br />

To encourage fruiting it’s<br />

a good idea to plant your<br />

cucumbers (and zucchini) near<br />

some bee-attracting plants<br />

like lavender or borage. Doing<br />

this will help ensure the bees<br />

pollinate your plants and as a<br />

consequence the fruit develop.<br />

If the plants aren’t pollinated<br />

properly the flowers will fall<br />

off and no fruit will develop.<br />

If you’d like to be really sure<br />

HEAT: Basil grows well in sunny conditions. For a different<br />

taste try a cinnamon variety (right).<br />

When you’ve found the right does, just pick off any developing<br />

flower heads to encourage it<br />

spot to grow it just dig a little<br />

hole and plant. If you’re growing<br />

it in a pot I recommend us-<br />

Next, basil needs water but<br />

to stick to leaf growing.<br />

ing a good, general potting mix. its very important you don’t<br />

My second tip for successful<br />

basil is, pick it regularly. If you plant it and then water it<br />

over-water it. Water it when<br />

you don’t pick it quick enough regularly to encourage lots of<br />

it might start to go to seed. If it leaf growth. But, and here’s the<br />

they’re pollinated, try touching<br />

the pollen on each plant with<br />

a paintbrush – this will spread<br />

the pollen from one flower to<br />

the next.<br />

I was once told by someone<br />

that you could do the same<br />

with an electric toothbrush,<br />

minus the toothbrush head.<br />

I’m yet to try this approach but<br />

would love to hear from anyone<br />

who has.<br />

In around 10 to 12 weeks you<br />

should be able to enjoy the cool<br />

and juicy taste of home-grown<br />

cucumbers.<br />

Many different varieties of basil<br />

important advice, let it dry out<br />

between waterings – don’t let it<br />

stay wet.<br />

And my last piece of advice<br />

is, don’t just stick to sweet basil<br />

– try growing cinnamon, Thai,<br />

lemon, or one of the other varieties.<br />

A good way of sampling<br />

the other varieties is by getting<br />

a mixed basil bundle which will<br />

include a selection of some of<br />

the different basil varieties.<br />

If you do all of the above, basil<br />

will quickly move to your list<br />

of favourite, low-maintenance,<br />

easy-care plants.<br />

Tomato<br />

Time<br />

Show Weekend is a great weekend to get your<br />

tomato plants in. This is typically when the<br />

weather settles (despite the winter-like moment<br />

last week) enough to not worry too much about<br />

the cooler weather affecting your plants. Here<br />

are some handy tips to get you started.<br />

Preparation<br />

Getting the ground-work right is an important part of any planting you are<br />

doing. It is recommended that you don’t plant new tomatoes in the same spot<br />

as last season, or where potatoes were, as there can still be diseases in the<br />

soil that can affect the growth of your new plant. Prepare existing beds with<br />

Organic Compost and Sheep Pellets, and Intelligro Tomato Fertiliser. You can<br />

then add our South-Hort Tomato Mix to the top layer to enhance the growing<br />

environment. If you are planting in pots, use the Tomato Mix straight into the<br />

pot, no need to add fertiliser prior to planting.<br />

Planting<br />

Planting in garden beds<br />

Once you have chosen your spot, place<br />

your stakes to help give the plants support<br />

as they grow and produce fruit. By doing<br />

this step now, you won’t damage the<br />

roots once you have planted.<br />

• Dig a hole twice the size of the root<br />

ball of your tomato plant.<br />

• Loosen the root ball and gently place<br />

it in the centre.<br />

• Fill the hole with the remaining mix, and press gently around the base of<br />

the plant.<br />

• Tie the tomato to the stake using plant ties. If you haven’t got any of these,<br />

old pantyhose work a treat too. Once tied, give the plant a good watering.<br />

Planting in pots and containers<br />

• Choose a pot or container that is at least 35L.<br />

• Partly fill (roughly ¾) the pot with South-Hort Tomato Mix.<br />

Put the stake in ready for tying once planted.<br />

• Loosen the root ball of the plant and place in the centre of<br />

the pot.<br />

• Fill the rest of the pot with the remaining mix, and press<br />

gently around the base of the plant.<br />

• Tie the tomato to the stake using plant ties (or pantyhose).<br />

Once tied, give the plant a good watering.<br />

Fertilising and Watering<br />

Tomatoes need a lot of nutrients to sustain<br />

healthy growth and produce a good crop. The<br />

more nutrients available, the better the plant<br />

will grow. Intelligro Tomato Fertiliser is designed<br />

specifically for the nutritional requirements of<br />

these plants to give you a bountiful crop.<br />

Fertilising Tomatoes in<br />

garden beds<br />

Once the beds are established and the plants are in, apply 100 grams per<br />

square metre every 4 weeks during the growing season. Mix well and water<br />

after application. Keep up a consistent watering routine. They’ll need plenty of<br />

water and nutrients to produce their fruit.<br />

Fertilising Tomatoes in pots and containers<br />

Apply Intelligro Top Dressing Fertiliser at a rate of 1-2 grams per litre of pot<br />

size. Apply around the base of the plant (not touching the plant) and water in<br />

well. Re-apply every 4 weeks during the growing season. Establish a regular<br />

watering plan, a good long soak every few days should do it. Keep an eye on it,<br />

you don’t want the plant to dry out!<br />

Local<br />

News<br />

Now<br />

Keep planting vegetables for summer<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

NOVEMBER IS a great month to<br />

be working out in the garden.<br />

There are masses of new growth<br />

on most plants, new season<br />

vegetables are growing at a fast<br />

rate, summer flowering annuals<br />

are bursting into bloom – it’s all<br />

happening.<br />

Vegetables to be planted this<br />

month are beans (dwarf and runner),<br />

beetroot, cabbage, celery,<br />

corn, cucumber, courgettes, lettuce,<br />

pumpkin, radish, tomatoes<br />

and kumara. Water all developing<br />

vegetable plants regularly but not<br />

excessively.<br />

Ensure you stake and tie up<br />

tomatoes and remove lateral<br />

growth. Apply side dressings of<br />

fertiliser, especially to the “gross”<br />

feeders such as sweetcorn.<br />

Flowering annuals should now<br />

have outstanding displays of<br />

colour. Summer annuals to plant<br />

include; alyssum, ageratum, aster,<br />

candytuft, cornflower, cosmos,<br />

livingstone daisy, marigold,<br />

nemesia, phlox, petunias, salvias,<br />

strawflower and zinnias.<br />

Dead head (the removal<br />

of finished flowers) regularly<br />

throughout the growing season to<br />

encourage continuous blooming.<br />

This is one of the most rewarding<br />

months for cultivating<br />

roses. Plants are often covered in<br />

TIDY: Try to think outside the box when planting a hedge. Right – It’s time to break out the tools and harvest some early summer<br />

vegetables.<br />

wonderful blooms and are usually<br />

disease free. Remove flowers once<br />

they have finished to encourage<br />

further flowering. Fertilise with<br />

fertiliser every five to six weeks<br />

throughout spring/early summer.<br />

This will encourage strong<br />

growth and full blooms. If you<br />

notice signs of disease or pests –<br />

spray immediately. Remember<br />

that once you commit to spraying,<br />

you must follow a regular<br />

regime throughout the season.<br />

Hedges can now be trimmed<br />

(where required) after the initial<br />

spring growth spurt. Continue to<br />

trim on the ‘little and often’ principal<br />

as this will help encourage a<br />

strong dense form.<br />

When planting a hedge, try<br />

and think a little outside the box<br />

and investigate alternative plants<br />

to create an edible or flowering<br />

hedge.<br />

Ensure you do not plant trees<br />

that grow to 8m if you only require<br />

a 2m hedge.<br />

Lawns can be fertilised in<br />

<strong>November</strong> to help create a lush<br />

dense lawn.<br />

This is also possibly the last<br />

month to sow a substantial<br />

new lawn or patch up an existing<br />

lawn before the dry weather<br />

arrives.<br />

Choose grass varieties that are<br />

suitable for your site or a mixture<br />

of grasses which are useful in<br />

creating an all year-round lawn.<br />

Ornamental trees and shrubs<br />

can be fertilised with general<br />

garden fertiliser, coinciding with<br />

active late spring/early summer<br />

growth.<br />

Repeat applications every six<br />

weeks until the hot dry summer<br />

months. Further applications<br />

of mulch can be made now and<br />

throughout summer.<br />

The herb garden should be<br />

thriving in <strong>November</strong>; the<br />

warmer the temperatures, the better<br />

herbs grow.<br />

You may need to ‘thin out’<br />

some of your herbs as they can<br />

grow rather vigorously and<br />

‘swamp’ out neighbouring herbs.<br />

Continue to trim, even if not<br />

eaten as this encourages fresh<br />

new growth.<br />
