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 />

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 />
If you are interested in<br />
the above initiatives feel<br />
free to share them or<br />
get in touch to know<br />
more.<br />
