‘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 />

is one of the largest of its kind in the<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 />
manager Heather Watson<br />
and Lincoln Envirotown Trust<br />
chairwoman Sam Rowland.<br />
feature. Dr Jarvis said she would<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 />

on the night:<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 />
Brenna Sincock Hearing’s usual clinic is located<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 />
properties connected to the Lake<br />
Coleridge water supply. The notice<br />
was issued on Friday after test results<br />
were received showing e. coli<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 />
to continue boiling water until<br />
further notice.<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 />

Baleage on roadsides<br />
We have been made aware of baleage being stored on roadsides<br />
across the district.<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 />
free to share them or<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 />
frisbee champs.<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 />
causing<br />
them health<br />
issues.<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 />
the other six are part<br />
of the south release,<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 />

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 />
