GRANDPARENTS are helping

The Grandparents Reading

at the beginning of the term
and, so far, 10 grandparents
have signed up.

provide the children with opportunities
for practising their
reading.”
She said it also gives pupils
the opportunity to form positive
relationships with the grandparent
they read with.
Miss Sutherland said the idea
for the programme came from
other schools.
“We were thrilled by the number
of offers of help, and were
able to set up the programme
across two teams,” she said.
Pupils like it when grandparents
read a story to them at the
end of the session, she said
“It provides children with
a model of how good reading
sounds. Some of the grandparents
even bring their own
special books along with them
to share.”
However, Miss Sutherland

District
escapes
blanket
use of
chlorine
– for now
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
MOST OF Selwyn has escaped
having chlorine put into its
drinking water.
The district council has backtracked
on its original plan to
chlorinate the district’s water
supplies.
The Canterbury District Health
Board had endorsed that proposal.
However, parts of Malvern
have not escaped the permanent
chlorination.
Pipe breaks, backflow, illegal
connections and reservoir failures
in the supplies had led to
the permanent chlorination of
the Sheffield -Waddington and
Malvern Hills Hartleys Rd water
supplies.
The district council confirmed
it will proceed in its plans to
chlorinate the supplies in July and
August.
It has prompted backlash
from affected residents in the
Long Term Plan 2018-2018 submissions.

THE CHLORINATION drum is starting
to beat and I don’t like the sound of it.
Parts of Malvern will be chlorinated
(see page 1) and the district council is ready
to move should other parts of the district
need attention.
Star Media’s office (publisher of the Selwyn Times) is in Addington.
The water coming out of the tap in the cafe sometimes
smells like a swimming pool. I don’t drink it.
I live in Selwyn and continue to enjoy great tasting water from
the tap. But for how long?
The district council is to be applauded for backtracking on its
original plan to blanket chlorinate across the district.
It is a sensible decision but what happens in the future may not
be so rosy.
But you have to feel sorry now for those affected in Malvern.

SKATE PARK
An upgrade to install new steps, a
path, and seating at the West View
Skate Park in Darfield is expected
to be completed by the end of next
month. Consideration was given to
installing a ramp instead of steps on
the far end of the skate park. But a
Malvern Community Board report
said the ramp was not favoured
because if skateboarders lost control,
they could end up “colliding” with
patrons of the Darfield public toilets.
BASKETBALL COURT
The Springfield Township Committee
has requested a new basketball
court be built in the area as part of
their submission to the Long Term

said there are more than 30 young
people aged between 10 to 15 in
Springfield with no real area designed
for their needs. “A basketball
court would go a long way to rectifying
this as it could double up to be
used as a skate park area,” it said.

Big ticket items approved in
At its Long Term Plan
deliberations last week,
the district council
approved several key
projects in the area.
The decisions will be
finalised at its meeting
on June 20. Emily
O’Connell reports
Selwyn Aquatic Centre
extension
The district council has approved
an extension of the
Selwyn Aquatic Centre. It was
agreed a 25m pool, as opposed to
a 50m pool, would be included
in the extension. As well as the
$9.3 million pool, the extension
will include a $1.1 million cafe
and courtyard and a $1.6 million
fitness and well-being space.
Weedons Residents’ Association
secretary Gary Doyle believes
the decision to have another 25m
pool rather than a 50m pool is
“stupid and short-sighted.” However,
he says he wasn’t surprised.
Indoor sports complex at
Foster Park
The district council has approved
a proposal to build a $21
million indoor sports facility
PLANS: The district council will extend the Selwyn Aquatic
Centre but Weedons Residents’ Association secretary Gary
Doyle (inset) says it is “stupid” the extension does not include a
50m pool.

at Foster Park in Rolleston. The
proposal includes four indoor
courts and four covered courts
for sports such as netball, tennis,
basketball and futsal, a reception,
administration and event
management areas, as well as an
indoor mezzanine walkway.
Water race rating review
The district council has approved
a proposal to adopt
a revised water race rating
structure. It has been operating
a water race system in parts of
the district for about 130 years,
supplying water to rural properties
primarily for livestock. The
new rating structure provides
three standardised rating factors
to replace the existing 10 rating
factors.
Community grants
scheme
The district council has approved
the establishment of
a community grants scheme
which will provide new, contestable
grant funding of $140,000.
IMPROVEMENT: With the Prebbleton Hall struggling to meet
the needs of the community, the district council has approved
a proposal to build a larger, more flexible facility.
The scheme is intended to be
available district-wide to assist
community-focused initiatives
which are undertaken by notfor-profit
groups and clubs and
communities of interest working
for the well-being of residents in
the district.
New community facilities
in Hororata, Leeston and
Prebbleton
The district council has approved
new community facilities
in several areas. The Hororata
facility will be a modern, multipurpose
facility, and is proposed
to be located on Hororata
Reserve. The district council is
proposing to allocate an initial
budget of $4.6 million for it. It
is also proposing to construct a
new facility in Leeston at a cost
of $6 million. The proposed
Prebbleton facility’s location
is still to be confirmed, but it
would be a hub for community
activity.
The Selwyn District Council would like to thank all of
our Gold sponsors for their generous support.

Whitecliffs Township
Committee chairwoman
Jodie Thompson said the
water supplies do not need
to be chlorinated, it is the
infrastructure which needs to
be upgraded.
The CDHB supported the
permanent chlorination of the
two Malvern water supplies.
It said both supplies have
extensive reticulation networks
and on site storage and the
district council must ensure the
water is safe to drink.
But residents elsewhere
in Selwyn are pleased the
district council decided against
its proposal for universal
chlorination of all its water

The proposal was originally
opposed by residents and
organisations including
the Leeston and Lincoln
community committees.

But the CDHB backed the

universal chlorination saying it
could be introduced in a phased
approach with a risk assessment
tool.
Last year Selwyn Times
reported the New Zealand
Water Industry Operators
Group conference chose
Darfield as having the best
tasting water in the country.
“It’s the old story, if it is
working right, don’t touch it,”
Mr McKay said.
Prebbleton Community

chairman Peter Hunter said the
district council has made the
right decision for now.
“I am keen for it not to
happen for as long as
practically possible . . . while
there is no risk I don’t think it
should be arbitrarily added,” he
said.

CALLS ARE being made
for better car parking at
schools in the district.
Greendale School teacher
aide Jan Douglas wrote
a letter to the Malvern
Community Board about
the issue, saying there is
currently six spaces for
vehicles at the school and
with up to 13 staff, it’s
“unacceptable.”
She said the road is “too
narrow” for parking and
so, some staff have to park
on the grass and in winter,
their vehicles get stuck.
Community board
member Karen Meares
said it’s a problem many
schools face in the district.
She said the “parking
itself is not an issue it is the
state of the roadside kerbs
and the puddles and the
muddiness that is developing
in these parking areas.”
Mrs Meares said Hororata
and Glentunnel Schools
have problems with their
car parks also.
Hororata School principal
Martyn Gameson
made a submission on the
district council’s Long
Term Plan asking for funding
to solve ongoing concerns
with the condition
of the Bealey Rd frontage
outside the school.
In it, Mr Gameson said
the “short-term” solution

of applying substrate to
the area “looked good”
but has now resulted in it
washing over the footpaths
and stormwater drains as a
result of heavy rain.
“This matter needs to be
urgently addressed by the
council, as in its current
condition the area poses
a significant hazard to
motorists, pedestrians and
our school,” he said.
District councillor John
Morten said the Ministry
of Education is given funding
to provide facilities
which included the building
of schools and the
provision of car parks.
Mrs Meares suggested
schools in the district
make a collaborative effort
to raise the issue with the
ministry and apply pressure
on it.

Helping kids to get active
A TEAM that aims to promote physical
activity is making a difference in schools
across the district.
“Selwyn physical activity activators are
working with existing community
leaders to influence change and create
opportunities,” Selwyn Sports Trust’s
Mike Wilson said.
To find out what the community
wanted, the project started by engaging
pre-schools and parents, primary and
secondary schools, Lincoln University’s
sport scholarship programme, clubs like
Waikirikiri Sport and the district council.
The pilot programme began
at Clearview Primary and Rolleston
Christian School in 2016, engaging more
than 700 pupils with a variety of physical
activity opportunities.
Four ‘activators’ are currently engaging
with 7700 students across 27 schools
in the district. Mr Wilson says the
Jacqui Gibbs
Chamberlain
– Leap of Faith
In these works I challenge my doubts and beliefs
that anything is possible, that dreams really do come
true. There is also a plunge into the unknown subtly
represented in these paintings, a leap of faith into what
cannot be seen, what lies beneath, what hides around the
corner.
All we need to do is to take that risk, the first step, and
surrender to the unknown. Then the real adventure
begins.
My studio overlooks the sea and influences the way
I think and create. Its forever changing moods, one
moment calm and serene, the next rough and unforgiving,
always with the freedom to do as it pleases, being

Electric barrier to protect mudfish
A $120,000 project to protect
the nationally threatened
Canterbury mudfish in the
district using an electric barrier
is the first of its kind in the
country.
Environment Canterbury,
Department of Conservation and
local landowners near Haldon
Pasture Springs near Hororata
met with American hydrological
engineer Jason Kent recently to
begin planning the logistics.
ECan biodiversity officer
Johannes Welsch said the pilot
project could be a significant step
forward in native fish conservation
at sites threatened by trout.
“This is a unique opportunity
to showcase how biodiversity,
species protection and agriculture
can work together –
delivering sustainable farming
and conservation in the diverse
agricultural landscape of Canterbury”
he said.
The Canterbury mudfish
protection project will utilise an
approximate 6m to 7m canvas
array, think “permanent electric
fishing with an electric fence”,
covering the full stream bed.
This will send out electric
pulses discouraging trout and
eel from swimming upstream
into the tributaries but rather
continue up the main stem of the
Hororata River.
The Selwyn Waihora catchment
has the largest remaining
fragments of Canterbury
mudfish of any other zone in the
region.
The Haldon Pasture Springs
site is particularly significant as it
is one of only a few, where mudfish
in the Hororata catchment

$120,000 project to protect Canterbury mudfish in

managed to survive during the
2015-16 drought.
Mudfish from there have
begun expanding into areas
downstream where populations
were particularly affected by
the drought. It is expected the
project would lead to a 10-fold
increase of habitat from 820m2 to
8200m2 in the Selwyn Waihora
catchment by allowing mudfish
to expand their movements into
the lower reaches of the springs.
This could also lead to the
area being used as a nursery
where mudfish are transplanted.
Plans for the barrier are
expected to be prepared by
July.

In Brief
RECYCLING POPULAR
Two community recycling
drop-off Days in Malvern and
Ellesmere recently resulted in
the collection of more than 25
tonnes of garden waste. This will
now be composted, along with
more than 6.5 tonnes of scrap
metal and almost 160 tyres for
recycling. The two drop-off days
were held near Leeston and
Darfield providing residents
with an alternative drop-off
point for their garden waste
and some types of recyclables.
Over the two days, 190 vehicles
dropped off their garden
waste, scrap metal and other
recyclables for a small charge.
The events were managed by
the district council’s contractor
Sicon Ltd.
KIDSFEST TO RETURN
KidsFest is returning to the
district in the July school
holidays, with bookings now
open. About 70 events will be
held in the district as part of
KidsFest between July 7-21.

•From page 1
The committee is using its
discretionary fund to deal with
the issue but would like the
council to cordon off vehicle
access, clear a small area for off -
-road parking and supply picnic
tables.
Whitecliffs ratepayers are
currently subsidising the domain
at a projected cost of $17,664 for
2017/18.
Miss Thompson said residents
are paying for services “exclusively
used by non -residents”.
The district council approved
its proposed district-wide rating
for community centres, halls and
reserves at its Long Term Plan
2018-2028 deliberations last week.
All Selwyn ratepayers will now
pay a reserves rate of $125 a year,
increasing to $155 by 2027/28.
But district councillor John
Morten said he did not think it
was a “significant issue.”
“That is no different than you
and I going to a Christchurch
camping ground . . . they might
pay for your camping rates and a
Christchurch person might not be
able to get in,” he said.
The domain was handed over
to the district council from the
committee about five years ago.
Keeping our waterways healthy
Selwyn
Waihora
Zone
Committee
chairman
Allen Lim on
the Selwyn
river and its
challenges
IT’S BEEN a good year for the
Selwyn River/Waikirikiri so far,
with healthy river flows and new
projects under way.
A major challenge has been
to cater for multiple values of
the river system at the same
time. Good examples of this are
contact recreation, native fish
populations, the trout fishery,
and mahinga kai – all of which
can be adversely affected by
droughts.
Two projects are under way
to address this – the Targeted
Stream Augmentation project
which uses a solar powered
pump to supply groundwater
to a spring-fed tributary of the
river when the spring stops
flowing.
This tributary, just upstream
of Chamberlains Ford, has been
a stronghold for native fish due
to a natural barrier keeping
trout out.
The Selwyn Near River Recharge
project is constructing
RESEARCH: Selwyn Waihora Water Zone Committee
chairman Allen Lim talks about the electric fish barrier

an off-take from the Central
Plains Water scheme that will
supply a leaky basin beside the
upper Selwyn River/Waikirikiri
during dry periods. Recharged
water will flow through the
groundwater system and keep
the lower Hororata, Selwyn and
Irwell rivers from running dry
as they have in the past.
A potential issue with this
project is more regular joining
of trout and Canterbury mudfish
habitat in a tributary of the
lower Hororata River. A physical
fish barrier is not possible here
as it would flood nearby land.
Canterbury mudfish have a conservation
status of ‘nationally
critical’ and they are a favourite
food for trout, so keeping the
species apart is important.
Your zone committee is
pleased to be supporting investigations
into the first electric fish
barrier in the Southern Hemisphere
to keep these populations
apart.
Further down the catchment,
a Fish & Game led project is
restoring the trout spawning
habitat of the Snake Creek
system.
At our April zone committee
meeting, we supported the formation
of a new Selwyn River/
Waikirikiri Working Group.
This group offers a wide range of
expertise to make sure all river
values can be managed into the
future in an integrated way.
I look forward to providing
updates on these projects in
future. In the meantime, don’t
hesitate to talk to your zone
committee or local zone team
members for more information

article about Weedons

fears the Yaldhurst quarry
expansion has set a
precedent
Tania Jones – 100m
from people’s homes – that is
disgraceful. I’m guessing the
owners of the quarry don’t
live in the area? Their health and
well-being is not being affected?
Their peace and quiet is intact?
Jake Ranginui – Wasn’t
the quarry already there? So the
health claims seem weird to me,
if you don’t like it being there,
why did they move there in the
first place?

on the new community
pavilion at Weedons

Kirstie Hamilton – We are
excited to have construction of
the new community pavilion
under way. This building will
provide a sporting and social
hub for our small community.
It is a wise investment for now
and the future, thanks to all
the people who have made this
happen.
Geoff Ostle – Gary Doyle is
missing the point. Facilities build
communities. Our forebears
built roads, schools, playing
fields etc. If they had not done
that, we would not enjoy and
use the facilities we do now. The
replacement of the facilities at
Weedons Reserve is long overdue
and will ensure the community
has facilities long into the future.
A reader responds to
CentreStage’s Long Term
Plan submission asking for
a performing arts facility in
Rolleston
Frances Harrison – I read
with interest the article in the
local newspaper regarding the
lack of facilities for Rolleston in
terms of the arts, especially the
performing arts.
This is a serious issue.
Rolleston caters for sports and
to a large extent families, but
little else. I would describe it
as a cultural desert and this is
not good for social cohesion or
diversity. Rolleston is exploding
in some ways in terms of growth
but risks tripping over itself if it
doesn’t provide better and wider
facilities for residents.
As someone who has spent her
life with an interest in music,
dance, singing and acting, I have
been contemplating whether
I should start up some dance
classes for adults (not ballroom
dancing, mostly for women of
all ages). The rental for space

at the Lincoln Event Centre
is very expensive and would
be prohibitive for me starting
out, with classes as $40 to hire
each time would wipe out most
earnings before tax. So yes, we
really need this new facility to
give Rolleston a bit of cultural
maturity and show there are
talented and artistic/ creative
people here. And we need
somewhere to get together to
attract professionals, as well as
amateurs, to add to the Rolleston

it also needs to be priced to
encourage the widest range of

can have such a facility in the

Our People
Manaia Davies
Ready to rock the body in the US
Glentunnel 13-year-old
Manaia Davies has been
selected to represent
New Zealand in a team
of 22 dancers in an
international competition,
Body Rock Junior, in
San Diego later in the
month. Emily O’Connell
talked with her about her
dancing, her other talents
and how she balances
her hobbies with school
Can you tell me about being
selected for Body Rock Junior
by Kiwi choreographer, Kiel
Tutin, who has worked with
stars such as Jennifer Lopez?
I’ve known Kiel for quite a
long time. He was a teacher at
this dance camp, called Motion
Dance Camp and I obviously I
go to that dance camp every year
and so I met him there. Lots of
the time I meet choreographers
my mum usually goes up to
them and she’s like ‘hi’ and so
they kind of like get to know me
and my family. He messaged
my mum one day and was like
‘would Manaia like to be in the
team?’ And before that mum had
emailed to ask if I was eligible,
like if I was the right age and
OPPORTUNITY: 13-year-old Manaia Davies, of Glentunnel, will head to San Diego later this
month to represent New Zealand in an international dance competition ​
everything for the competition,
and when he said ‘yeah’ then
mum was like ‘cool,’ and he said
‘yeah she would be a great addition
to the team. We’d love to
have her’ and so that was really
amazing.
Can you tell me about the
training you do in Auckland for
Body Rock Junior?
So we train from 11am to 5pm
every weekend and it’s really
hard out, like it’s full hands-on
training, we run the set over,
over and over again and it’s really
tiring.
How did you feel when you
were chosen?
Oh, I was quite shocked actually.
It’s kind of mixed emotions
because I was like ‘oh my gosh
that’s so exciting I get to go to
America and I get to compete in
this amazing competition with
these amazing people’ but then
at the same time it was kind of
like ‘ahh, oh my gosh’ and the
training as well, because it’s like
hard-core training, all I was
thinking was ‘how’s that going
to happen?’ Also because I’d
never trained with him before
so I didn’t know how he worked
and how he ran his trainings but
yeah, he’s an amazing person
and teacher.
So what’s your schedule like
during the week?
I train almost every day after
school. On a Monday, I teach a
lot of solos actually . . . and on
Tuesdays I teach in Springfield
because I live an hour out of
town so I teach out to all of
the local kids out there. On a
Wednesday I sing because I’m
actually a part of a programme
at school, which is the specialist
music programme, it’s this
amazing programme and so I’m
a part of that. On a Thursday I
have training from 5pm to 8pm
with my crew called Aperture
from Zion in Christchurch and
then on a Friday, I also teach
solos, it just depends.

Our People
Singing and dancing a way to
How long have you been
dancing for?
I’ve been dancing since I was
three-years-old.
Why did you start?
It was one of those things
where my mum was like ‘let’s
put my daughter in ballet,
she’d be cute.’ And then, yes, it
progressed, when I was four and
five-years-old I started doing
hip-hop and then . . . I had a
scholarship to a dance studio in
Australia, because I used to live
in Australia, and I did all kind of
styles. So I did tap, jazz, lyrical,
contemporary, I did everything.
When did you move to New
Zealand?
On my ninth birthday, I think.
How does dancing make you
feel?
It’s just a way to express myself
I think. Whenever I turn on
music, or even when I’m just by
myself in the kitchen, I’m always
dancing.
How long have you been
singing for?
I was kind of like an on and off
singer. I started singing when I
was around 11 I think. But then I
stopped and then I started again
for the SMP, because I live out of
zone, but I really wanted to go to
Burnside High School, so I was
FLEX: Manaia competing in the Gold Coast at six-years-old and getting some practice in before
her trip overseas.
like ‘maybe if I just try out for
this and just see what happens,
then I can get into the school.’ So
I just rocked in there, I was just
like sick the whole audition, so
it really wasn’t my best voice . . .
Then I got an email back saying
I was in and I was like ‘ah, now
what am I going to do?’ But it’s
amazing, like I’m learning to read
music and stuff.
Are there other dancers and
singers in your family?
My mum, she was a salsa
dancer when she was younger.
She was actually an instructor for
salsa and my dad’s a singer so he
writes and sings songs.
What’s been your dancing
highlight?
Well there was a Motion Dance
Camp, when it first started, I
think it was two years ago, I
went to it. I did it in Wellington
and Auckland. I was actually in
quite a bad spot at the time, not
really bad but I had just come
out of a bad studio, and I kind
of was just finding my place and
finding where I was with dance
and where I was with myself and
if I wanted to continue dancing
because it was really hard. And
that was when I found myself
at that dance camp and it was a
long process and a very, very hard
process like long, crying talks
in the car with mum. Yes, it was
definitely a highlight, because I
feel like that was the time I actually
realised ‘wow I love this and
I’m never going to stop doing it.’
How do you balance school,
dance and life?
I actually don’t know. Because
when my report cards come
back, and they are really good,
my mum is like ‘how did you do
this?’ I just do the best that I can.
What’s your favourite thing
to do beside dancing and singing?
I act as well. So I used to take
drama classes in Darfield and I
kind of cut that off just for this
time because of going away and
because it’s a lot with everything
I’m doing at the moment.

But I’m going to start it back
up again, and I love it, I’ve done
three Trinity College London
exams and I’ve passed with Distinction
all three times. And also,
spending time with my family
because when you do as much as
I do, it’s really rare to have that
quality time with your family.
What’s your dream?
I think, I just want to take it
step by step. I want to take every
opportunity that I can but my ultimate
goal is to open up a dance
studio in New Zealand and share
all my knowledge with everyone.
Of course first, I want to go and
travel the world and I want to
learn off different people and
maybe like, do big performances,
but then I want to bring it back to
my home and teach everybody.
Can you tell me about how
you started teaching dance?
So I started teaching when I
was 10. And I got this amazing
opportunity from this lady,
amazing lady, called Lisa Yaxley,
and she saw all the students in
Springfield, which is about 10
minutes away from where I live,
she saw they didn’t have much
to do and they just sat at home
and played on their devices. And
she was like ‘we need to make a
change, so she started up a dance
studio, it’s called Danz Fit . . . she
charges her dancers like $5 per
class, it’s really, really cheap. So
she was like ‘do you want to come
and teach hip-hop?’ because she
can’t do hip-hop herself but she
wanted to have that as an option
for her students . . . I’ve been
teaching there for three years
now, so yeah, it’s pretty awesome.
Who do you look up to?
There is a couple called Keone
and Mari Madrid . . . and they’re
amazing dancers and I love them
so much. And when I’m in San
Diego, I have the opportunity to
take a class from them. Oh my
gosh, mum surprised me with
SKILLS: Manaia being
lifted up during a
dance performance.
the news, I was just freaking out,
I actually started crying because
I was so happy and yeah, they
inspire me so much. It’s just the
way they move and the people
that they are as well – because I
really value good people.
What’s the biggest lesson
you’ve learnt in dancing?
Through teaching dancing, I
think patience . . . and for dancing,
perseverance.

Event for church fundraiser
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
A FILM evening showcasing
Springfield and the wider
Malvern area in the 1930s will
be held to fundraise for the
township’s historic church.
Films taken in the 1930s
by late Waddington resident
Fred Bull will be displayed as
the community continues its
ongoing fundraising efforts to
repair the St Peter’s Community
Church.
Built in 1885, the church’s
congregation is planning to
undertake repairs to the woodwork
on the exterior.
Work on the exterior includes
replacing rotten weatherboards,
the window sills and the surrounds
of the window.
The committee’s chairman
Graeme Dawson said it is a
good way to attract people into
the church because the interior
is “quite impressive for a little
country church” and is different
to the exterior.
Mr Dawson said while a finish
date is not yet set for when
the repairs will be complete,
there has been a lot of interest
locally along with a lot of offers
of assistance.
“Its ticking away well but we
are not setting ourselves silly
targets and goals,” he said.
While the interior of the
church was damaged in the
earthquake, repairs were covered
by insurance.
•The event will be held
Saturday, June 23, 7pm, at
the St Peter’s Community
Church on the West Coast
Rd, Springfield.

Selwyn Kids’ Market, and fun water activities at the Selwyn Aquatic Centre with aqua volleyball

some events. KidsFest has been running for over 25 years.

The Council has completed deliberations on its Long-Term Plan 2018–2028 and expects to adopt the
final plan on Wednesday 20 June.
Councillors spent two days last week analysing all public submissions, considering staff comments and
recommendations, and beginning the decision making process on major projects and budgets for the
next 10 years.
A total of 436 submissions were received on the plan, with more than 100 individuals and organisations
presenting their submissions to councillors in person at public hearings earlier in May. In addition more
than 1300 people participated in online feedback on the draft plan.
Dog registration starts in July
The Selwyn District Council is encouraging dog owners to get their
furry friends registered once notices arrive in letterboxes around the
start of July. All dogs older than three months must be registered
every year (July-June) under the Dog Control Act 1996.
The owner of an unregistered dog can be fined $300.
Registration fee:
The 2018/19 fees are due on Sunday 1 July 2018, and may be paid
throughout July.
This may be done via a payment link when the form is emailed, by
internet banking, at the Rolleston Headquarters or at the Service
Centres in Leeston, Darfield or Lincoln.
Alternatively, you can use the prepaid return envelope provided with
your registration form.
If paid by Tuesday 31 July 2018, the discounted registration fee
applicable is:
· $10 Administration/Owner fee
· $30 for each dog owned by the same person and held at the
same locality.
Payment after Tuesday 31 July 2018 the full registration fee
applicable is:

Everything Selwyn website
launched
A group of community agencies in Selwyn, supported by the Council,
have launched a one-stop shop with information on everything
residents and newcomers need to know about the district.
The Everything Selwyn website will become a comprehensive online
directory of services in the Selwyn district, offering information
about everything from local schools and sports teams to special
interest groups and events. It also provides practical information for
those new to Selwyn and New Zealand, including information about
banking, the IRD and health care.
Jason Flewellen, Selwyn District Council’s Community Development
Advisor says Everything Selwyn is an easily accessible community
database for anything of interest to Selwyn residents, those who
have been here a while, as well as those brand new to the area.
“The website is a go-to for the community to find out the latest, and
also let others know about their own events and services. Adding a
listing is super easy and free,” he says.
The concept for the website was developed out of the research
findings from the Selwyn District Council’s Migrants and
Newcomers Strategy.
The website has been developed by Council in conjunction with
Selwyn’s four community care groups.
Beverley Elder of the Malvern Community Care Group says
Everything Selwyn will enable all newcomers to Selwyn to learn
about the area.
“The more people use the website, the more useful it will be as
a constant flow of information to help people find what they are
looking for,” Mrs Elder says.
Members of the Selwyn community are encouraged to upload their
own events and services, to populate the website.
The Everything Selwyn website can be accessed at www.
everythingselwyn.co.nz to view and add listings.

Live in Lincoln bigger
and funnier than ever
LIVE IN Lincoln will once again
bring laughter to the area with
its third annual comedy night.
The first two were successful,
with comedy lovers from near
and far making each event a sell
out.
A look at the line up for this
year indicates the event may sell
out even quicker than its predecessors.
Live in Lincoln promoter David
Parlane has cast his net even
wider than before this year.
“An enjoyable night in Lincoln
listening to some of New Zealand’s
best comedians and our
international comedians as well,”
he said.
They include international
comedian and head writer for
Seven Days Nick Rado, recent
Billy T Award winner Melanie
Bracewell, Melbourne-based
comedian Rhys Nicholson and
United States comedian Wilson
Dixon from Cripple Creek,
Arizona.
They will be under the watchful
eye of equally humorous
master of ceremonies, Ben
Hurley.
A past recipient of the Billy T
Award, Hurley features regularly
on Seven Days and tours extensively
both here and overseas.

A NEW children’s book has been
launched to tackle bullying head
on – and it tells the story of some
familiar Canterbury icons.
Bayleys Canterbury and the BNZ
Crusaders have teamed up to launch
Ace: A Horsey Tail of Courage.
Aimed at school children aged
five to eight, it tells the story of
Ace, a young horse who is being
bullied by his peers. He dreams of
becoming one of the six Crusaders
Bayleys Horses which ride out at
the start of every home game.
The story ends well for Ace who
achieves his dream, just as his
real-life character did.
Ace, a four-year-old
thoroughbred mare was in
training when the book was being
written. He made his debut on the
field on May 12 at AMI Stadium
when the BNZ Crusaders beat the
Waratahs 31-29.
Holly, another character in the
book who stands up for Ace, is
the horse that sets the pace for the
others and keeps them on track,
even though she’s third in line.
Ace: A Horsey Tail of Courage
aims to encourage children to
speak-up and report incidents
of bullying whether they are the
victims or witnesses. It has already
been received well.
Last year the OECD programme

tackle school bullying
assessment produced a report on
students’ well-being.
Fifteen-year-old students in 51
countries were surveyed about
perceived bullying. New Zealand
students reported the secondhighest
rate of bullying in the
OECD.
Bayleys Canterbury general
manager Pete Whalan said he was
proud to be working
with the Crusaders to deliver
an important message to Kiwi
kids.
“The Crusaders sporting
prowess, combined with the
team’s reputation in the wider
community and the easilyapproachable
persona of the
Crusaders horses, will enable
the anti-bullying message to be
spread among the key audiences
throughout the country.”
The book has been written by
Friday Creative’s Katy Clook, and
illustrated by Kophie Hulsbosch.
There is also advice in it for
parents.
The books can be pre-ordered
on the BNZ Crusaders website,
and will be sold for $20 at the
Crusaders home games against
the Highlanders on July 6 and the
Blues on July 14.
Proceeds go to Bayleys’
principal charity, Make-A-Wish

pitcher Jacob Davidson throws
the ball so hard, he hurts his
dad’s hand in practice.
The talented 15-year-old will
be part of the New Zealand
under-15 team to tour Taiwan
next month.
Jacob, who attend Riccarton
High, has been clocked at
112km/h off the mound and his
dad Neil admits his pitches can
sting when they hit his mitt.
“He throws pretty hard,” he
said.
“I certainly feel it on my hand
after a while.”
Neil was a key part in setting
up the Selwyn baseball club
in Rolleston, with many of the
teams known as the Selwyn
Braves.
Jacob has already been
mentored by former New York
Mets Major League Baseball
pitcher DJ Corasco and that
trend looks set to continue.

Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher
Josh Collmenter travels with the
national age-group team.
TALENT: Jacob Davidson (left) with his mentor DJ Corasco
and DJ’s wife Autumn Lopez. Jacob is off to Taiwan next

PHOTO CARMEN DAVIDSON
Collmenter, 32, spent seven
years playing in the major
leagues, with a 38-35 win-loss
record and starting in a third of
his 214 MLB games.
Davidson has already spent
time in the national setup,
earning a silver medal at the
Oceania championships in
January.
It was there he formed a bond
with Corasco and his wife
Autumn Lopez
“I look up to DJ, not only for
what he has achieved but how
cool he was to me,” he said. “He
showed me so much and gave
me a lot of advice on how to deal
with pressure situations.”
Davidson, who is already
185cm tall, used to be a catcher,
and still catches occasionally
when he plays softball.
“Autumn showed him
skills to be a better catcher
but at his height he’s probably
better suited to pitching,” Mr
Davidson said.
Jacob said he was eager to
improve his four-seam fastball,
two-seam fastball, curve ball
and change-up, to become a
more dominant pitcher.
“I don’t know how far I want
to go, but I just want to play as
much as possible,” he said.

Are you ready for another big quake?
• By Julia Evans
CANTABRIANS have become
complacent over being prepared
for another big disaster.
Civil Defence has released its
latest survey on how ready we
are if another big natural disaster
strikes.
And it doesn’t make overly
good reading.
The results show 47 per cent of
Christchurch households have
enough water stored, compared
to 79 per cent in 2011.
Overall 12 per cent of Cantabrians
surveyed said they feel
“very well” prepared, compared
to 31 per cent
in 2011.
And those
who consider
being prepared
“very
important”
has dropped
since 2011
from 76 per
cent to 65
John McClure
per cent.
The result
has left the
Canterbury Civil Defence Emergency
Management Group “surprised”
and “a bit disappointed,”
welfare manager Jessica Petersen
said.
Ms Petersen said as time
moves on from major emergency
events like 2010 and 2011 people
become less prepared. She said
new residents moving to the city
also has an impact on figures.
Psychologist John McClure
said people become “complacent”
as their “sense of risk”
fades.
“If people had not been
harmed or directly affected,
memory tends to fade . . . but being
prepared is very important,
you never know what might happen
and when.”
However, both said there was
more that could be done to improve
awareness.
“One thing that might help is

you’re encouraged to change
your smoke alarms during daylight
saving,” Prof McClure said.
He said another way would be
through Government legislation.
“It applies to building standards,
but not emergency kits.
Building standards are more immediately
important, but these
other things could also be saving
lives.”
Civil Defence has launched
the ‘Never Happens? Happens’
campaign to get preparedness
back on people’s radars.
“We want people to talk to
each other – family, friends,
workplaces, community – and
consider different situations they
might face and develop a plan for
them,” Ms Petersen said.
She said people needed to be
thinking long term. It comes
at the same time as the release
of the ProjectAF8 report. ProjectAF8
lays out what would
happen in the South Island in
the event of a magnitude 8 earthquake
from the Alpine Fault. On

Gardening
Plant strawberries for summer
• By Henri Ham
IN MY opinion, strawberries,
like many fruit and veg, just seem
to taste juicier and better when
you’ve grown them yourself.
So, every winter I like to
ensure we have a good strawberry
patch set up to enjoy in summer.
Sometimes that means creating
a whole new strawberry patch
and other years I just top up my
existing patch with new plants.
Three popular varieties of
strawberries are Chandler,
Camerosa and Ventana, they
can be described as good homegarden
varieties that produce
sweet, medium-sized fruit but the
Ventana strawberries have more
of a conical shape to them.
Some gardeners like specific
varieties, but if you’re starting out
and have no preference I would
recommend any of these varieties.
Each regular-sized bundle
has around four plants which
should produce between 60 -100
strawberries come Christmas.
I recommend planting as many
strawberry plants as you can fit –
I don’t think you can never have
too many strawberries.
Once you’ve got your plants
you need to decide where to
plant them. The great thing about
strawberries is they can be grown
in pretty much any sized garden.
Maybe you’re lucky enough
to have a big raised garden box
you can grow them in. But if
you’re not, there are still plenty of
options for growing strawberries.
They grow well in hanging
baskets, cut-off drain pipes, pots,
wooden pyramids and more.
As long as they can see the sun,
VERSATILE: A raised garden is perfect for growing strawberries.
and where you’re planting is welldrained,
you can expect healthygrowing
plants that produce lots
of fruit.
When you’ve found just the
right spot or spots, prepare
the soil by digging in a general
fertiliser that’s rich in potassium.
This will help stimulate plant
growth and big, juicy fruit.
If you’re planting in a pot
or hanging basket, use a good
potting mix and an extra boost of
liquid fertiliser.
Before planting in the garden
raise your bed by mounding
the soil. This will encourage
circulation, drainage and can add
depth to shallow soil.
Plant your seedlings around

when you

them in your
own garden.
the edges of your garden or pots
to encourage the strawberries to
hang over the sides and prevent
the fruit from touching the
ground and rotting.
Dig a hole 10cm deep and place
the seedling inside. A deep hole is
required to give the roots plenty
of room to spread out and grow
but be careful not to bury the
plant.
Pack the soil firmly around
each seedling and surround with
peastraw or newspaper to help
keep away weeds.
Place netting or wire over
you plants when they begin to
produce fruit. This will block out
birds and ensure you get to eat the
strawberries yourself.
In spring, add another dose of
general fertiliser or strawberry
food to your strawberries to
encourage sturdier plants that are
more disease resistant heading in
to the warmer months.
Come Christmas you’ll be
able to put your strawberries to
the test and decide for yourself
whether home-grown really does
taste better.
And remember your strawberry
plants will be most productive in
their second year.
IF YOU’RE after a cottagegarden
or wildflower vibe in your
garden then look no further than
cornflowers.
Their ruffled and colourful
flowers will add an easy-care,
pretty look to any home and
garden.
Typically cornflowers are blue
but you can get mixed bundles
of seedlings which includes pink,
lilac, white, purple and blue
flowers.
Other flowers that also grow
nicely with cornflowers and will
create a lovely effect when grown
together in your garden are
delphiniums, poppies, lavender
and roses.
If you don’t have much of a
garden, never fear, cornflowers
also grow very well in pots

Cute and cottagey
cornflowers

and look particularly nice when
grown with lobelia in containers.
If you’re planting in the
garden, look for a sunny, welldrained
spot with soil that isn’t
too sour. Before you start, I recommend
adding a good general
fertiliser or blood and bone to
help give the seedlings a good
kick-start. If you’re growing your
cornflowers in a pot, as always, I
recommend tipping out any old
soil and replacing with new potting
mix.
Then dig a little hole and plant
each seedling around 10cm apart.
They’re quite upright growing
plants and planting at this space
apart will allow them to support
the weight of each other.
In around six to eight weeks
your cute and cottagey plants
will start to flower and provide a
splash of colour to your garden.

The fight against Mycoplasma bovis is escalating
with 50 more staff, a new field HQ and the
appointment of a science adviser, says
Agriculture Minister Damien O’Connor.
“Today 25 new Incident Control Point
managers enter the field after completing
training yesterday.
“These case managers are appointed to work
one-on-one with affected farmers under movement
controls. They support farmers with information and advice on
the practical aspects of the controls.
“A further 25 will undergo training in coming weeks, greatly
boosting capacity to help those farmers affected by the disease.
“The 50 new Incident Control Point staff are on top of the
250 at the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) already
undertaking this work. MPI’s compensation team was also
recently increased from 22 to 30 and is expected to double
in size as the response progresses.
“MPI has also opened a new Field HQ in Cambridge.
“Newly appointed science adviser Dr John Roche has
been tasked with researching new tools for the fight
against Mycoplasma bovis.
“Dr Roche has a PhD in ruminant
nutrition from the National University of
Ireland and has most recently worked as a
principal scientist at DairyNZ and adjunct
professor in animal science at Lincoln
University.
“He will provide strategic science advice
across MPI and his first task will be to
head up a new Mycoplasma bovis Science
Strategic Advisory Group.
“There has been little international
investment in science around this disease
so the group will look into testing
developments to detect Mycoplasma bovis
in individual cows, grow understanding
of the disease and identify opportunities
to support the New Zealand eradication
operation.
“With his background in Ireland, where
Mycoplasma bovis is widespread, Dr Roche
will be ideally placed to lead this work,”
says Damien O’Connor.

Practical firearms
licence component
given thumbs up
Federated Farmers supports changes
to New Zealands firearms licensing, in
particular the new requirement for a
practical, hands-on component of testing
alongside the theory.
“To own and use a gun is a responsibility
no-one should take lightly,” Feds National
President Katie Milne says. “If the changes
that come in from July 1 boost people’s
understanding of the Arms Code and how
to stay safe with firearms, that has to be a
good thing.”
Police have announced that as well as
needing to pass a computer-based multichoice
theory test to gain a firearms
licence (similar to that used in driver’s
licence tests), applicants will be required
to participate in a practical training
session run by firearms instructors
from the Mountain Safety Council, and
demonstrate their understanding of safe
handling of firearms.
“Federated Farmers does want to see
an adequate number of venues for these
practical sessions and tests, with plenty of
venues in provincial areas,” Katie said.
Feds is also pleased to see Police
acknowledge that even after the theory test
and practical training, there is still a vital
role for hunting clubs and experienced
firearms users – including farmers – to
mentor those with less experience with
guns.
“Back in the day, when many more
New Zealanders had contact with rural
people who use firearms, or contact with
other hunters, it was more common for
people to be coached through firearms
use. They’d go out with those who had
experience, and probably start with a
pellet gun, graduating to a .22, etc.
“These days the firearms culture has
changed, and there are probably more
people – particularly urban people
– who like the idea of going hunting
at the weekend. They often have little
previous experience, and start by buying
a large calibre rifle and going into the
bush hunting big game such as deer
without a hunting ‘apprenticeship’ with
the traditional small game and family
guidance.
“Hopefully the practical training will
assist with this issue,” Katie said.

Rural health
review welcome
The New Zealand Rural General Practice
Network (NZRGPN) has welcomed an
announcement of a comprehensive review of
health services in New Zealand.
The NZRGPN is the national network
representing the staff of rural medical
practices across New Zealand.
“A comprehensive review of the delivery of
health and disability services is timely,” said
NZRGPN chief executive Dalton Kelly.
“This review must be comprehensive and
wide-ranging, taking into account the full
range of communities and health service
providers across New Zealand.
“We welcome the review and will look to
participate fully in it on behalf of the medical
professionals who are delivering outstanding
health services to rural communities, often
under increasingly difficult conditions.”
Kelly said the NZRGPN would be looking
to ensure core rural health issues were
well-represented in the review, including
adequate training of sufficient volumes of
rural doctors and nurses, adequate funding
of rural emergency first responder services,
and the provision of palliative care in rural
communities.
“It’s easy for people to forget that rural
communities are struggling to access
equitable health care services relative to
urban centres. It’s harder to attract doctors
and nurses to rural communities, doctors
on average are closer to retirement age
than doctors in urban centres and they are
generally working longer and increasing
hours.
“The boom in tourism is also something
which absolutely must be reflected in the
review. While a great thing for the New
Zealand economy, it is projected that five
million tourists per annum will visit in New
Zealand by the middle of next decade with up
to half visiting a national park.
“The classic New Zealand tourism
experience is accessed through rural New
Zealand and already booming tourism
numbers are placing great strain on already
stretched rural health services,” he said.
“This review is a very positive development
that we fully support. It has started to feel as
though the country’s health needs, particularly
in a rural context, were in competition with
each other. A comprehensive review should
deliver clarity around the health services
all New Zealanders need, including in the
engine room of the New Zealand economy –
rural New Zealand.”

Gala 40th Anniversary
Celebration for Malvern
Community Arts Council
The Malvern Community Arts Council
(MCAC) is throwing a party on Saturday,
23 June and invites you to come along.
This Gala Anniversary Celebration
will be held at the Darfield Recreation
Centre to mark the 40th anniversary of
the founding of MCAC in 1978. “We are
inviting the Malvern community, along
with volunteer committee members
(past and present), artist members,
and local dignitaries to join us for a
celebratory evening of music, short
congratulatory speeches, finger food
and refreshments”, MCAC Chairperson
Philip Baldwin said.
“We are celebrating the Malvern
Community Arts Council’s work over
the past 40 years. It is also important
for us to thank the legion of local
volunteers for their tireless efforts in
this work, and the community that has
supported us”, Mr Baldwin added.
“More than just celebrating that past,
though, this event will highlight our
ongoing commitment to providing
engaging exhibitions at the Selwyn
Gallery, putting on Darfield Artweek,
and sponsoring entertaining concerts.”
Gala organisers found the minutes
of the first Malvern Community Arts
Council AGM in 1979, which conclude
with the following vote of thanks: “Mrs
N. Pearson expressed thanks to the
chairwoman and council for all the
work they had done during the past
year, believing that this had laid a good
foundation for cultural life in the county
in the years ahead”. Commenting
on this entry, Mr Baldwin said, “The
success of the MCAC for the past 40
years is due to the initial work of a small
group of community-minded people
and the broad community support it
has enjoyed. We invite the people of
Malvern to join us in celebrating the
cultural life in our district”.

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections
in the Selwyn District
An exquisite
family home
Trident Homes’ show home in Faringdon is a truly beautiful
home. 242 sqm of very well thought out design, this spacious
house is well appointed and suitable for anyone looking for four
bedrooms, two bathrooms and two living areas.
The layout just works. Some houses make you work your way
through them; this Trident home flows from room to room. One
can only imagine how easy it would be to live in.
Trident Homes Canterbury is owned and operated by Jason
McKenzie and Peter Nisbet. They have offices in Belfast and
Hornby, and both of them have a solid history in building and
selling beautiful homes in Canterbury.
The home at 568 East Maddisons Rd is no exception, a
wonderful example of the design and build quality Trident clients
can expect. From the entrance way, adorned with Suvi wallpaper
from the Wabi Sabi Collection, to the spacious living room, with
its own feature wallpaper. This space is easily made private with
internal sliders.
Additional doors (all doors feature negative detailing) open into
a large kitchen, separate dining area, and another spacious living
area. The kitchen features a long island, good size walk-in pantry
with ample shelving and storage space and a tiled splashback in a
matte black, hexagon design against the white, soft close cabinetry
and bench tops, all very modern and functional.
All these areas offer access to a private deck outside via sliding
doors – an entertainer’s dream.
This home design offers four very generous size bedrooms. The
master has a large walk-in wardrobe with lots of hanging, shelf,
and drawer space. The en-suite features a large, fully tiled shower
and the bedroom has access to the outside via sliding doors.
The other three bedrooms all have large wardrobes with built-in
shelves.
It is obvious the designers of this house considered practical
matters especially in the details. The footrest in and the
ventilation above each of the showers; a nice deep bath in the
family bathroom; plenty of storage space in the laundry; and a
huge storage cupboard in the hallway. Slightly higher ceilings in
the entrance and kitchen enhance the feeling of space, and more
featured wallpaper – Carousel Stripe – in the master bedroom
makes it feel even more like home.
Trident Homes has a number of home designs and house and
land packages available, to suit all budgets and requirements
(www.tridenthomes.nz). The Faringdon show home is open
Wednesday to Sunday, 12pm until 4pm and by appointment.
Drop by and see this exquisite family home.

Making the most of
show home viewing
Looking through show homes is a great way to get ideas for
features and fittings to put into a new home. It can also be helpful
for getting a spatial feel for other aspects of a house design.
Before heading out for a day’s
viewing, conduct an internet search.
identify the locations of show home
villages and the types and sizes of the
various building company’s homes on
display, noting down the square metre
size of each home.
if wanting a high end, architectural
design, focus on the larger homes that
have desirable design features. if at the
entry or middle level of the market,
earmark homes that fit this taking in
other show homes for extra ideas.
allow sufficient time when visiting each
show home, asking for a floor plan that
has room sizes before walking through.
Check also the floor to ceiling height
of the rooms and consider how this feels
and whether you prefer a cosier feel with
the standard ceiling eight of 2.4 metres or
more spaciousness created with a higher
stud or exposed ceiling beams.
if doors and windows are taller than
normal, weigh their effect in creating
a more luxurious and spacious feel,
against potential inconvenience for small
children, cleaning and maintenance.
on entering each room, take account of
how much furniture is in each room and
whether there is sufficient space for the
furniture you will have in the room and
the size needed in a walk-in robe. Look
too, at storage capacity throughout the
home and whether this is adequate.
in the living areas, consider whether a
lounge separated from the family living
room or a true open plan kitchen, dining,
living/lounge area is preferable, and
compare internal kitchens with those that
have natural light.
Look too at the layout of
the kitchen: whether to have
an island sink or breakfast
bar where a newspaper can
be read, and children can
sit and draw or complete
homework; the positioning
of appliances; and how
important having a pantry is.
for the little rooms, equate
space and features desired
with that needed, especially
if the budget needs to be
sharp. it might be nice to
have a large walk-in shower
with double shower heads
but is this just fanciful and
will the extra cleaning annoy you long
term. a laundry in the garage is also more
economical though a separate laundry
may be handier.
Bring the garage size into the equation
also. as these vary considerably, assess
the actual measurements of each garage
viewed comparing this with the space
needed for your motor vehicles and other
items to be stored there. if a good number
of toys will be housed there, it may be
sensible to increase the size of this area of
the home.
By imagining what you need, want and
will have in your new home, you will be in
a better position to confidently choose a
design that works for you.

Checklist for selling your home
MAKE SMALL FIXES
Inspect your home with a buyer’s
eyes, and correct the flaws that are
most egregious (if affordable) or
can be relatively easily fixed—from
repairing cracks in the walkways
to repainting dingy walls or oiling
creaky hinges.
SET A PRICE
A real estate agent will give you a
market analysis free of charge or
commitment. Ask a few to get a
broader picture of the market, then
ask to see listings for properties
similar to yours that have sold
in the past six months. Check
out comparable listings yourself
in the real estate section of your
newspaper or on websites. Then
decide whether you want a quick,
easy sale or the highest possible
price.
CLEAN & DECLUTTER
Weed out excess furniture,
knicknacks, and “stuff ”—toss it,
donate it, give it away, sell it at a
yard sale, or put it into storage—so
the house seems more spacious and
buyers can imagine themselves in it.
STAY VIGILIANT ABOUT
MAINTENANCE
From the moment you start
showing your house, keep the lawn
mowed, shrubs trimmed, gardens
weeded, rooms spotless and
clutter-free.
READY YOUR HOME FOR
OPEN DAYS
Hide pocketable valuables,
display fresh flowers or bowls
of fruit, bake a batch of cookies
for the homey smell, open the
drapes, keep pets out of sight.
DECIDE WHETHER TO DO
YOUR OWN BUILDING
INSPECTION
It may save you time, especially
with older homes, to identify—
and potentially solve—problems
your buyer’s inspection will
discover later.
