Fate of 

teenagers 

charged in 

‘drown him’ 

case known 

this week 

• By Sophie Cornish 

THE OUTCOME of the longrunning 

“drown him” court case 

will be known on Friday. 

Two teenagers charged over the 

alleged attack after the Rolleston 

fireworks display in November 

last year appeared in the Youth 

Court last week. 

The now 17-year-olds were defending 

a charge each of causing 

injury with intent to injure. They 

were 15 and 16 at the time. The 

case grabbed headlines after the 

15-year-old victim (now 16) was 

allegedly attacked on Tennyson St 

after leaving the fireworks display. 

He was pushed into a water race 

and had his head allegedly held 

under water, while others in the 

group watching yelled: “Drown 

him, drown him”. 

Judge Stephen O’Driscoll heard 

evidence over two days last week. 

He reserved his decision which 

will be released on Friday. The 

Selwyn Times was prohibited from 

covering the case last week. 

The teenagers who appeared 

in court were originally charged 

with aggravated robbery, but had 

their charges amended in August. 

The victim was left with a gash 

on his face that required stitches 

and a night in hospital.

THAT MUST be one mean so and so who 

put a slug into Kylo the cat (page 3). 

And now Kylo’s family is having to pick up 

the tab for most of the vet bills, which don’t 

come cheap. 

Already the bill is up to $2500, but luckily help has arrived in 

the form of a Givealittle page. This online fundraising tool, which 

has rendered things like Telethon redundant, has raised more 

than $700 to help pay for some of the costs. 

That is a huge relief for Kylo’s family, and no doubt Kylo too, 

because it means there’s likely enough money around to repair the 

damaged cat. 

But it’s one very expensive slug. 

Great feat on page 1 today with David Beatty’s hat-trick. Top 

stuff.

Fundraiser to pay for

RECOVERING: Lachlan Sewell with the family’s cat Kylo, who 

was shot with an air rifle. (Right) – Kirsty Sewell with Kylo. 

MORE THAN $700 has been 

raised to help with a Prebbleton 

cat’s veterinary bill after he was 

shot with a high-calibre air rifle. 

Kylo, 2, left his house on 

Conductors Rd on November 27 

and didn’t return home for three 

days. His owner Kirsty Sewell 

said it wasn’t unusual for him to 

stray away from their house but 

she did become concerned as 

time went on. 

When Kylo returned, Mrs 

Sewell picked him up and placed 

him on her eight-year-old son 

Lachlan’s bed. 

“I didn’t realise he was hurt 

until I put him down and I was 

like ‘oh, no.’ He was limping and 

he had a big lump in his back,” 

she said. 

Mrs Sewell took Kylo straight 

to the vet where X-rays determined 

he had been shot and had 

a “major fracture” in his front 

leg. 

“We now know, post-surgery, 

the bullet went into the front of 

his shoulder, so somebody was 

taking a kill shot,” she said. 

Mrs Sewell said what had 

happened to Kylo made her feel 

“sick” and she could not understand 

why someone would want 

to hurt him. 

Kylo had surgery last week 

to remove the pellet and has a 

brace around his leg. 

It’s possible his leg may have 

to be amputated, but Mrs Sewell 

said they will have to wait to see 

if it heals first. 

Mrs Sewell’s friend has set-up 

a Givealittle page to help with 

Kylo’s vet bill, which is currently 

about $2500.

there has been one other reported 

incident of an animal, also 

a cat, being shot in Prebbleton

“It’s possible some cases are 

only reported to police and some 

are not reported at all, but we 

know this is a widespread problem 

throughout Canterbury,” 

she said.

Senior Sergeant Pete Stills said

not okay in a residential area 

to shoot cats, and if you were in

Leeston firefighters were called to 

a crash on Leeston Rd about 11pm 

on Saturday after a car hit a bank

Maddie back in Starship 


KIDNEY transplant recipient 

Maddie Collins is undergoing 

further testing in Starship 

Children’s Health in Auckland 

following a kidney scare. 

Tests results last Tuesday 

showed her kidney function 

“wasn’t great” and she had to 

be admitted to Christchurch 

Hospital. 

Maddie, 14, of West Melton 

was on route to Nelson with 

her grandmother Elaine Manson 

when her mother Sarah 

Manson-Collins received the 

results. 

The pair drove back immediately 

and Maddie was admitted 

to Christchurch Hospital for 

two nights before being flown to 

Auckland on Thursday. 

Maddie, who suffers from the 

kidney disease nephrotic syndrome, 

underwent a successful 

kidney transplant in January. 

Mrs Manson-Collins said they 

are unsure what is going on with 

her kidney and they hope they 

will be able to “get to the bottom 

of it” at Starship. 

“She’s great, she’s a wee bit 

scared if I was honest,” she said. 

Mrs Manson-Collins is unsure 

of how long they will be in 

Auckland for but says Maddie is 

HEALTH: Maddie Collins, 14, is back at Starship Children’s 

Health in Auckland after tests showed her kidney function 

“wasn’t great.” 

undergoing further testing and 

might also need a biopsy. 

Maddie’s ongoing health 

issues have meant she will be 

going back to Southern Health 

School next year. 

It comes after she has spent 

the past six months or so studying 

at St Margaret’s College, 

having been at health school 

prior to that. 

Mrs Manson-Collins says 

Maddie will have a “dual 

enrolment,” where she remains 

enrolled at St Margaret’s College 

but she will be attending health 

school and will have a health 

school tutor. 

“She’s missed so much school 

and something’s going on in her 

gut and it’s affecting her kidney 

and her well-being and we 

need to get on top of that. She’s 

just not managing full days of 

school,” she said. 

Health school is a school for 

year 1 to 13 students who are too 

unwell to attend full-time education. 

It offers tutoring at home, 

hospital or one of its learning 

centres. 

Although Maddie was initially 

“a bit hesitant” about going to 

health school instead of St Margaret’s, 

Mrs Manson-Collins 

says Maddie is looking forward 

to focusing on her core learning. 

Maddie and her family were 

told on January 16 their five-year 

wait for a kidney match had 

been found. 

They flew from Christchurch 

to Auckland early the following 

day and Maddie underwent an 

initial operation and then a second 

operation to reposition the 

kidney hours later at Starship. 

Mrs Manson-Collins said 

Maddie had an “amazing recovery” 

in spite of the first 48 hours 

not going to plan. 

Maddie received a kidney 

transplant from her father 

Adam Collins five years ago but 

her body rejected it. 

With only a two per cent 

chance of finding a donor match 

in New Zealand, the family 

did not expect to find another 

kidney in the country.

Youth aid officer for Selwyn 


SELWYN WILL have its own 

youth aid officer from next year. 

The officer will work with 

schools in preventing children 

and young people reoffending 

and will be based at the Rolleston 

Police Station on Tennyson 

St from March. 

The decision 

is part of the 

nationwide 

boost of 1800 

police officers 

over the next 

three years. 

Currently, 

Lane Todd 

the district is 

covered by the 

Hornby youth 

aid officer. 

Canterbury Metro Area Commander 

Superintendent Lane 

Todd said the community policing 

team at Hornby is “pretty 

full at the moment.” 

Hornby and Selwyn police 

youth aid officer Senior Constable 

Bruce Ward welcomed the 

announcement. 

“It’s a big thing and I think 

what you’ll see is a real proactive 

approach because what we want 

to do is prevent youth offending,” 

Senior Constable Ward said. 

He said the position was needed 

because of the high rate of 

youth and schools in the district 

along with the youth offending 

age set to increase. 

“With the increase in [youth 

offending] age to 17, their offending 

will be dealt with youth 

aid officers,” Senior Constable 

Ward said. 

“At the moment, if you’re 17, 

you’re dealt with the district 

court,” Senior Constable Ward 

said. 

That will increase the number 

of cases handled by youth aid officers 

by about 20 to 30 per cent, 

he said. 

Including 17-year-olds as 

youth offenders is also “positive” 

Senior Constable Ward said. 

Many teenagers at that age are 

enrolled in secondary schools, 

he said. 

“So you might have a stolen 

car before that is stopped that 

had three 16-year-olds and a 

17-year-old, all going to the 

same school,” Senior Constable 

Ward said. 

“The 16-year-olds will get 

taken home and the 17-year-old 

gets arrested. So now as soon as 

you turn 18, you’re in the district 

court.”

DISHWASHER FIRE 

It took Leeston and Southbridge 

firefighters about five minutes to 

extinguish a dishwasher fire on 

Market St in Leeston at 9.20am 

on Thursday. Leeston chief fire 

officer Lloyd Clausen said the fire 

was caused by an electrical fault

right” by phoning 111, evacuating 

the house, explaining what had 

happened and having working 

smoke alarms. He said other 

than burns to the dishwasher and

smoke damage” to that part of the 

house.

Our People 

SELWYN TIMES 

Claire Howison 

New school’s principal highlighting the 

Staff are set to move into 

Lincoln’s newest school, 

Ararira Springs Primary 

– Te Puna o Ararira, next 

month before it opens 

its door to pupils in 

February. Principal Claire 

Howison, 50, has spent 

the year planning for the 

new school and getting 

to know the community. 

Emily O’Connell spoke to 

her about the new role 

How and when did you get 

into teaching? 

I started teaching in 1991 and 

I’ve just always wanted to be a 

teacher. 

Why did you always want to 

be a teacher? 

I guess I had inspiring teachers 

when I was a child, who had an 

impact on my life and I decided I 

wanted to leave that impact and 

have that impact on others. 

How have you found your 

time teaching? 

I’ve absolutely loved them 

and hand on heart can say that 

there has been only a handful of 

days in an up to 30-year career 

where I’ve not ever wanted to 

go to work. I’ve just loved every 

moment of it. 

What have you learnt through 

teaching? 

That learning never stops and 

just the impact of learning in 

every aspect of your life. You 

possibly initially think that 

learning is only related to your 

school years but you just know 

it happens if you are taught to 

learn rather than knowledge that 

it will have an impact on you for 

the rest of your life. 

What would you say has been 

the most rewarding part of 

your career? 

There’s been many things, 

I’ve worked in quite a few 

different schools. I have 

worked in another school in 

the North Island where I was 

a foundation staff member 

so that was exciting. I guess 

connecting with people and 

quite real connections, both with 

colleagues and children and 

their families, that would be the 

most rewarding part. 

How has teaching changed in 

the time you’ve been doing it? 

That’s an interesting question. 

I’ve had this discussion with 

colleagues because people have 

said that it’s just got so busy and 

that we are working long, long 

hours. I’ve always worked like 

that. But teaching for me has 

never been a job, it’s always been 

a lifestyle. And while it is long 

and hard, it is rewarding. I’ve not 

noticed the change but maybe it 

has changed for other people. 

How did you come to being 

a foundation principal of this 

school in Lincoln? 

I’ve lived in Christchurch for 

20 years and have been a deputy 

principal of a large school for 

a good portion of that time. 

So I have worked with great 

leaders in the past and been 

involved in leadership but in 

that second tier of leadership. 

The opportunity came up and it

school, Ararira Springs 

Primary. (Left) The school

year. 

was advertised. The establishing 

board’s emerging vision for the 

school and my philosophy of 

education were really the perfect 

match. They were brave enough 

to appoint a first-time principal 

to the role and it was just the 

right thing and the right time for 

me as well. 

What was the large 

school you were deputy 

principal of? 

I have been deputy principal 

of both St Albans School and 

Fendalton Open Air School. 

What was the first school you 

taught at? 

My first school was Tawhai 

School in Stokes Valley in Lower 

Hutt. 

How was that experience? 

I think I was only 20-years-old. 

I was probably very fresh-faced 

and naive but had ideas of the 

kind of teacher I wanted to be. 

Did you go into teaching as 

soon as you could after high 

school? 

I did. I went straight from 

high school to university and 

what was teachers college then. 

I attended concurrently Victoria 

University and Wellington 

teachers college. 

Did you grow up in the North 

Island? 

I did, in Lower Hutt in 

Wellington. 

What made you move to 

Christchurch? 

I moved to Christchurch in 

1998 and I was flexible and just 

thought I would love to have the 

opportunity to live and work in 

the South Island before I settled 

somewhere permanently. And 

then not long after moving here, 

I met my husband Steve who is a 

Cantabrian. 

What do you live now? 

I live in St Albans. 

Do you think you will move 

to Lincoln or somewhere else in 

Selwyn? 

Probably not. I will continue 

to commute. Just because my 

husband and children’s, Jacob, 

15, and Eva, 13, lives are here. 

They both go to Boys’ and 

Girls’ High respectively and 

my husband does the bulk of 

his work as a builder over this 

side of town. My whole family 

are also avid beach people so 

they surf and windsurf and 

things and being in Selwyn 

would make that just a little bit 

trickier. I’m not surprised but 

I have really enjoyed getting to 

know more about the Lincoln 

area and particularly where our 

school is, it’s just beautiful. Just 

feel so lucky to have a school in 

such a gorgeous area but also 

finding out about Lincoln and 

the education fraternity always 

talk about contextualising your 

curriculum but I’ve known 

that to be more true than this 

setting because it’s the impact 

of teaching in Lincoln has just 

added a very special dimension 

to our curriculum.

impact of learning 

Have you ever taught 

your own children? 

So when I was at St 

Albans School, we were 

all at St Albans School 

together. But I wasn’t a 

classroom teacher there 

I was what’s called a 

walking deputy principal. 

While I taught them in 

various classes, I didn’t 

ever have them in my own 

class. I taught maths, or I 

taught gifted and talented 

programmes and they may 

have been in the odd class 

but I wasn’t a classroom 

teacher as such. 

What was it like on the 

odd occasion to teach your 

own children, was it a bit 

strange? 

Not really. It was really 

nice for us all to be at the 

same school. 

Can you tell me a bit 

about the new school 

and when it is opening 

officially? 

So it will officially open 

on February 5. The blessing 

will take place on January 

15, so we will be on-site 

in the three weeks prior 

to opening. It’s built for 

450 students but with a 

future capacity of 750, so 

they will build another 

block in the future if the 

roll increases. The hall and 

administration building 

though are for a capacity of 

750. It is modern learning 

environments with spaces 

designed for two or three 

classes to work together 

but complemented by 

lovely breakout spaces, 

kitchen and making and 

art facilities... It’s got 

two playgrounds and an 

internal courtyard and 

lots of landscaping with 

vegetable gardens and a 

wee orchard planned. 

How many pupils are set 

to attend next year? 

It’s variable . . . but at 

the moment we have 90 

children expected on day 

LEARNING: Claire Howison, pictured with her 

daughter Eva, 13, and son Jacob, 15, has been 

teaching for about 30 years. 

one. But I would imagine 

that would get up to 100 by 

February. 

Can parents still enrol 

their children? 

Yes, so all our enrolment 

procedures and links are 

on our website http:// 

ararira.school.nz/. 

What’s it been like being 

a foundation principal? 

It’s been an honour 

really but I’ve also felt the 

responsibility of it 

. . . you’re not given a 

blank canvas but you are 

given the opportunity to 

create something that fits 

within the constraints of 

the ministry’s systems but 

is what you believe about 

teaching and learning. And 

that opportunity doesn’t 

come up very often. The 

easy option would have 

been to have recreated 

things that you know work 

but we’ve tried to stay true 

to the visions and values of 

the school . . . everything is 

centred around developing 

caring, curious and capable 

learners. 

Can you tell me about 

what you’ve been this 

year? 

We rented space off 

Lincoln University so 

we’ve been on Ellesmere 

Junction Rd just down by 

the football grounds. So the 

year has been spent 

just preparing and 

working through the 

ministry’s requirements for 

opening a new school 

. . . it’s also been 

connecting with the 

community, researching 

and reading and just 

establishing all the 

documentation and 

philosophy that underpins 

great teaching and 

learning. 

What are you most 

looking forward to when 

the school opens? 

Children. We’ve had 

a year I guess without 

children although some of 

this term we have 

spent getting to know 

families. 

What do you like doing 

outside of work? 

I’m an avid reader and 

I also enjoy keeping fit I 

run a community exercise 

group three mornings a 

week at 6am before I go 

to work and just really 

spending time with family 

and friends.

Confidence in your Vehicle’s Safety 

Many vehicles only have a warrant 

of fitness check every 12 months so 

mechanical issues can go undetected. 

Given recent publicity around some poor 

WOF inspections undertaken further north, 

some people may be reflecting on their own 

vehicle’s roadworthiness. 

If you have concerns then why not have 

your vehicle looked over before the 

Christmas/holiday period. A quick look now 

by an experienced and capable automotive 

engineer will ease your mind by ensuring 

any potential issues are spotted while there 

is still time to have 

any needed repairs 

completed before 

heading away on 

social or holiday 

jaunts. 

The team at Rolleston 

Diesel & Petrols are 

always happy to 

check any vehicle 

and make repairs 

where needed. 

Their expertise and 

efficiency instils 

confidence that a 

proper inspection 

has been carried out, 

leaving you feeling 

relaxed about your 

vehicle. 

Allen & Hayden on the job at 

Rolleston Diesel & Petrols. 

“We conduct all warrant of fitness checks 

by the book and don’t cut corners when 

inspecting a vehicle. It includes examining 

the brakes, suspension and steering,” says 

Simon Wilson, owner of Rolleston Diesel & 

Petrols. 

Rolleston Diesel & Petrols 

has a high-tech facility, 

equipped with new and older 

equipment so they can cater 

for all vehicle makes and 

models whether the latest 

or one that has been around 

for a while. They work on 

cars, Utes, 4WDs, vans, 

light commercials (up to 12 

tons), motorhomes, buses, 

motorcycles, jet skis, boats, 

ride-on lawnmowers and even 

horse floats. 

Simon insists 

on using the 

best quality 

components and oils, 

and original specifically 

manufactured equipment 

parts. As a member of the 

Motor Trade Association you 

can be completely assured 

your vehicle is being worked 

on by professional 

automotive experts 

who will deliver 

quality service and 

repairs.

SUMMER 

FUN: Band 

Storm Breaker 

performing at the 

Selwyn Youth 

Council’s last 

event for the 

year, BOOST 

OUT, at Rolleston 

Reserve on 

Friday. About 150 

people attended 

the event which 

had food trucks, 

a skate jam, 

graffiti and live 

entertainment 

from youth 

bands. 

Right – Leeston 

skateboarder 

Isaiah Godfrey, 

14, gets airborne 

at the event. 

OF ALL THE things I expected 

to deal with as a stay-at-homedad, 

Vittoria being mean to 

another baby was not one of 

them. 

Maybe that was a foolish assumption, 

I don’t know, I’ve only 

got the one kid remember. 

What are you supposed to do 

in that situation? And what is the 

other parent supposed to do? 

Is there a book on this? 

On Tuesday I took Vittoria to a 

Plunket playgroup in Papanui on 

the advice of a fellow full-time 

dad. 

It was an enjoyable morning, 

the sun was out and there was 

plenty of toys and other kids for 

Vittoria to play with. 

During the course of her rambling 

about exploring, she went 

inside and sat next to another 

wee lass, only a couple of months 

younger than her who was playing 

with a book. 

So, naturally, she steals said 

book off the poor kid. 

The other baby’s mum was 

really good about it, even told her 

daughter to share. 

However, Vittoria was not satisfied 

with just taking her book. 

Oh no, she started grabbing 

anything this kid was holding, 

ignoring my vain pleas for her to 

desist or share. 

VITTORIA 

& Matt 

ELEVATED: Vittoria getting a 

unobstructed view of Mother 

Goose and other classic floats 

at the recent Santa Parade. 

Eventually the other baby got 

sick of Vittoria’s shtick and went 

to grab her book back. 

Vittoria promptly hit her in the 

head with it. 

I was mortified, I’d never seen 

her hit anyone else before (she’s 

hit me heaps, but not in anger). 

The wee lass started crying 

and I profusely apologised to the 

mum and told Vittoria off – but I 

don’t know if I did enough? 

Vittoria’s had bigger kids do 

similar to her and I didn’t know 

what I should have done then 

either. Other people’s kids seem 

like a minefield topic. 

Either way, I took Vittoria back 

outside to where there were older 

kids than her so she couldn’t 

cause any more grief. 

I suppose I’ll get better at this, 

I really don’t think I want a bully 

for a daughter, regardless of how 

dang cute she is. 

In a much nicer update, we 

took Vittoria to the recent Santa 

Parade in the city. 

I’m stoked the old floats like 

Mother Goose and the Haunted 

House are still about. I haven’t 

been to a parade in quite a few 

years so it was cool to see the 

old classics and share them with 

Vittoria.

Subdividing attracts interest 

District 

councillor 

Debra 

Hasson 

writes 

about 

subdivision 

rules in the 

District Plan 

THE DISTRICT council is 

undertaking a review of it’s 

District Plan. Subdividing 

always attracts a lot of interest 

due to its capital gain. 

Developing proposed subdivision 

rules for public submission 

is challenging. Generally, 

the process requires council 

to monitor trends, assessing 

them against the principles 

of the Resource Management 

Act, to see if a zone needs to be 

changed, created or protected. 

So, what’s changed since the 

last District Plan was adopted? 

Urban growth patterns 

Created by the Greater 

Christchurch Urban Development 

Strategy was forward 

thinking. This agency, developed 

an urban infrastructure 

plan for future growth in and 

around existing towns. 

The February 22, 2011, 

earthquake saw growth migrate 

to Selwyn. Thankfully, 

the strategy rezoned land 

prior, meaning deferred zones 

could be brought forward 

and released for development. 

The idea then allows suitable 

adjacent land to be rezoned as 

required. 

Rural subdivisions 

Envisaged 4ha inner plains 

and 20ha outside. 

However, a disparity allowing 

outer plains landowners 

owning 40ha plus to subdivide 

a minimum 5000m 2 enabling 

a dwelling and a no build 

covenant over the remaining 

19.5ha, retaining a residential 

density of one house per 20ha, 

has seen the same argument 

for subdivision in the inner 

plains enabling the creation of 

1ha lots scattered throughout 

both rural zones. 

Purchasing a small 

rural lifestyle block is popular 

and the recent Selwyn 

revaluation saw the average 

capital value of these blocks 

valued at $927,000 for rating 

purposes. 

This issue aside, over time 

lifestyle blocks have also be 

subjected to ongoing amenity 

challenges. 

For example, Christchurch 

City’s industrial growth on 

the boundary with Selwyn has 

seen the erosion of the green 

belt concept with only a thin 

line of 4ha blocks remaining, 

some divided by the new motorway 

and I would be right 

in suggesting the residents 

of Prebbleton do not want 

industrial-zoned land on their 

doorstep. 

And as zoned industrial 

land is costed per square metre, 

many businesses have 

found the purchase of 4ha and 

applying for a resource consent 

a cheaper option however 

when granted, often generate 

complaints from neighbours. 

As you can see rural subdivision 

has more challenges 

than urban. 

Having my say on your 

behalf, perhaps clearer zones 

and rules would alleviate some 

of these issues.

PROJECT: Dancing figure sculptures and the year 8 pupils with arts teacher. 

School sculptures come alive 


A SIX-YEAR project, creating 

23 life-sized dancing figure 

sculptures, is coming to an end 

at Rolleston School. 

The project started in 2012 

with the then year 2 pupils 

drawing a picture of the class 

dancing in a circle. 

Teacher Jade Bell said when 

reflecting on the drawings the 

pupils identified there were a 

number of things they needed 

to learn in order to complete an 

observational drawing. 

“So we explored people dancing 

through drawing and then it 

moved onto photography, painting 

and sculpture,” she said. 

Six years on, the pupils are 

now in year 8 and nine of their 

sculptures have been finished 

and will be placed in Rolleston 

in the new year. 

The remaining 14 sculptures 

will be installed in the community 

when they are completed, 

which Miss Bell said is “an 

ongoing process.” 

She said the sculptures are 

going to be installed in various 

spots including Rolleston 

Square, Rolleston dog park, 

Brookside Park, the school 

and outside New World Rolleston. 

“I was notified last week that 

four of our sculptures which 

were designated for Rolleston 

Reserve will need to find new 

homes, as planning is under 

way for the new Rolleston Town 

Centre,” Miss Bell said. 

Pupil Thomas Preston said 

installing the sculptures will 

mean a lot to the class. 

“We have been working on it 

for such a long time and it’s going 

to be nice to share our work 

with the community,” he said. 

The finished pieces looked 

“better than expected” to pupil 

Sean Bennett, who said it was 

great to be completing the 

project. 

For pupil Ashtyn Steele, the 

sculptures reflects the school’s 

values. 

“I feel that there has been a lot 

hard work gone into them and it 

shows our school attributes, we 

have been persistent and now we 

are successful,” she said. 

Rolleston Men’s Shed has been 

helping the pupils create the 

sculptures and Morgan and Pollard 

will install them.

FACILITY: Go Hororata gathering ideas for the new Hororata 

Community Centre while visiting others in the district. 

Ideas sought for 

new Hororata centre 


A SPORTS floor, covered 

outdoor area and a stage. 

These are just a few of the 

features which could be included 

in the new $4.6 million Hororata 

Community Centre. 

A survey has been developed 

for people to have their say on 

what they would like to see included 

in the centre. 

It asks participants to rate 

the importance of a number of 

features such as having a lounge, 

a duty manager and kitchen. 

This will help Go Hororata, 

the group behind the new centre, 

develop conceptual plans. 

Go Hororata is formed from 

nine different community groups 

and elected members of the 

public. 

The district council has included 

the project in its Long Term 

Plan, it is planned to be built on 

Hororata Reserve in 2023/4. 

It will be funded through a 

mix of fundraising, development 

contributions, insurance, other 

funds and targeted rates. 

Hororata senior station officer 

Roger Parsons said he didn’t 

have any “special” ideas for the 

new centre but he will fill out the 

survey and see what happens. 

“I think there’s a group trying 

to keep the old hall, take it back 

to its original [state] and use it 

for a museum . . . which would 

be a good idea,” he said. 

Mr Parsons believes the new 

centre will be used more than 

the hall as “it’s not very inviting 

at the moment.” 

Go Hororata chairman Dave 

Sligh said Go Hororata is committed 

to developing a multi-use 

community centre which is an 

asset to residents, the district 

“and beyond.” 

“It is important at this point 

that all community groups and 

businesses express their interest 

in being involved in the project,” 

he said. 

Go Hororata has appointed 

Octa Associates to work with 

the community to develop a 

detail brief for the community 

centre and to engage with architects. 

In October, the group visited 

the Dunsandel, Greenpark, Tai 

Tapu, Templeton, West Melton 

and Glentunnel community 

centres to gather ideas. 

•To complete the survey, 

visit http://go.hororata.com, 

Facebook or at Hororata 

Motors. The survey closes 

on Sunday.

New safety vests keep 

Weedons pupils safe 

WEEDONS SCHOOL pupils 

will be a lot safer when they 

bike or walk to school thanks to 

new safety vests provided by the 

Selwyn Business Group. 

The group provides a network 

for small and medium-sized 

businesses which support 

other companies, charities 

and community groups in the 

district. 

Providing safety vests for 

Weedons School pupils was a 

low-cost idea with a big impact. 

It was suggested by Shona 

Cottrell, who runs the sewing 

school, Creative Edge Studio, 

and has children at the school. 

During her school runs, Mrs 

Cottrell noticed many pupils 

walking or biking around 

high-speed rural roads who 

were often not that visible to 

motorists. 

Principal Kathy Bell said the 

school has a number of pupils 

who catch buses to and from 

school on busy roads and some 

who cycle along 80-100km/h 

roads. “The new shiny vests will 

make them a lot more visible 

and will be greatly appreciated 

by these pupils and their 

families,” she said. 

Mrs Cottrell presented 25 

vests at a school assembly and 

said it was a great pleasure, as

West Melton School 

year 7 and 8 pupils took 

a dip in the school pool 

after completing their

The challenge 

involved tramping to 

the Woolshed Creek

Somers. Bad weather 

didn’t stop the pupils 

from completing the 

challenge and staying 

a night in the hut. The 

challenge required 

them to engage in

get out and about and enjoy the great locations and activities around Selwyn.” 

With ideas like going fishing, visiting some of the great summer spots, jumping on the 

TranzAlpine, heading out to Darfield, Leeston and Chamberlains Ford, visiting a winery and 

dozens more, there should never a day of head scratching – so residents should keep their 100 

Days of Summer list handy. 

Mayor Broughton says whether you’re new to Selwyn or have lived here for some time, he hopes 

you use this guide as a tool to relive your favourite memories or create some new ones. 

The 100 Day of Summer flyer should be arriving in letterboxes across the district this week.

Enjoy the holidays and reduce your waste 

Summer is the season of parties and barbeques - and the Council is encouraging residents to help the 

environment and reduce the amount of waste going to landfill by making sure they dispose of holiday 

season recyclables responsibly. 

Christmas gift wrapping paper can be recycled as long as it’s not foil wrap. With gifts such as kids 

toys, please ensure that the different packing material types are separated. Toys, clothes, polystyrene, 

drinking glasses or crockery cannot go in the recycling bin. Remember, if it is not on the sticker 

underneath your bin lid, then don’t put it in the bin! 

For a full list of what you can and can’t recycle please visit selwyn.govt.nz/rubbish, or you can request a 

free sticker for your recycling bin with this information by contacting us on 347 2857. 

Rubbish and recycling collections scheduled for Christmas Day (Tuesday 25 December) will take place 

the prior Saturday 22 December. Collections scheduled for New Year’s Day (Tuesday 1 January) will 

take place the prior Saturday 29 December. All other collection days will proceed as normal. 

The Pines Resource Recovery Park at Rolleston is also open most days over the holidays including 

weekends and has a drop-off area where most recyclables can be dropped off at no cost. Check 

selwyn.govt.nz/pines for opening hours information.

BACKYARD CRITTERS 

A vehicle 

crashed into the 

maintenance 

cupboard of 

Snap Fitness 

in Rolleston 

Square, at noon 

last Wednesday. 

There was 

nobody near 

the cupboard 

at the time. A 

Snap Fitness 

spokesman said 

the sole occupant 

of the vehicle, 

a woman, was 

uninjured from 

the crash. He 

was unsure what 

caused the car to 

hit the building.

Advertising Feature 

Newest generation 

well catered for 

Lincoln University Childcare and Preschool 

has now been around for 30 years and former 

pupils could be bringing their own children 

to experience what they had before. 

It was opened in 1988 to provide education 

and care for the children of families of the 

staff and students of Lincoln University, 

local research organisations and the Lincoln 

community. 

The centre has a separate under-two area 

that allows the children to play and learn 

in a safe and developmentally appropriate 

environment. 

New under-twos can now also get their first 

month free. 

All children have a primary caregiver who 

is responsible for ensuring that children’s 

individual needs are being met, for example 

in feeding, settling in and feeling secure in the 

centre. Having a primary caregiver enables 

infants and toddlers to build a sense of trust 

with the people who care for them. 

The centre can take up to 12 

children on the under-two side 

to ensure providing care and 

education of the highest quality. 

The teachers all have extensive 

training and experience in 

working with children of this age 

group. 

Staff are observant and 

responsive to children’s needs, 

strengths and interests and 

promote positive relationships 

among children that promote 

cooperative play. 

They also employ good-quality individual 

assessment and planning that helps teachers 

respond to and build on children’s interest 

and strengths. 

Each child’s progress is recorded in their 

profile books and their individual learning 

programmes are recorded there too. Parents 

are invited to contribute their knowledge and 

ideas for the development of their children’s 

learning opportunities. 

Children have access to a wide range of 

learning experiences that include individual, 

small and large groups, based on Te Whāriki 

(the Early Childhood curriculum). 

Te Whāriki, expresses the centre’s 

philosophy, supporting every child to be 

confident and competent learners, strong 

in their identity, language and culture, and 

forming strong partnerships with families. 

To learn more, call Ruta on 03 325 2287, 

email ruta.mckenzie@lincoln.ac.nz or

Marsupial of the bug world 

Mike Bowie is 

an ecologist 

who specialises 

in entomology 

(insects and other 

invertebrates). Each 

week he introduces 

a new species found 

in his backyard at 

Lincoln. His column 

aims to raise public 

awareness of 

biodiversity, the 

variety of living things 

around us. Check 

out the full list of 

invertebrates found at 

http://naturewatch. 

org.nz/projects/ 

backyard-biodiversitybugs-in-lincoln 

ROLY-POLY, pillbug and 

wood louse are all names 

used for the cosmopolitan 

species Armadillidium 

vulgare. 

This introduced 

invertebrate from Europe 

rolls up to resemble a pill, 

hence the common names. 

Its genus name also gives 

a clue to its plate-like form 

used in its defence, much 

like the armadillo. 

Pillbugs can often be 

confused with rough slaters 

Porcellio scaber, however 

the latter cannot roll up, 

are flatter in appearance 

BUG: Roly-poly, pillbug and wood louse are 

all names used for the cosmopolitan species 

Armadillidium vulgare. 

and have appendages out 

their rear end. 

Pillbugs range in length 

from 9 to 18mm when 

mature, have a thorax 

which consists of seven 

segments, each with a pair 

of legs. They live for two to 

five years. 

These unusual bugs 

are nocturnal, so during 

the day are usually found 

under logs or dead plant 

material so as not to desiccate. 

They are detritivores, 

playing an important 

ecosystem service role of 

breaking down organic 

plant material to nitrogen, 

potassium and phosphorus. 

Females have a brooding 

pouch called a marsupium 

when they are pregnant. 

Females can produce up to 

three broods per year made 

up of 100-200 eggs. 

When the 0.5mm eggs 

hatch, they remain in the 

pouch for one to two weeks 

feeding on marsupium 

fluid. 

This truly is the 

marsupial of the bug 

world. 

Enrol now and get 4 weeks 

of childcare for under-2s 

Lincoln University Childcare & Preschool 

offers a caring environment for children 

aged 3 months – 5 years. 

From January 2019, parents with under-2s not 

previously enrolled at the centre can get their 

first four weeks of childcare FREE. 

Conditions 

• You must book six 4.5-hour sessions 

for the first four weeks 

• Subject to availability 

• No tie-in clause 

• Offer starts from 14 January 

Your child will enjoy a wide range of 

learning experiences based on Te Whāriki 

(the Early Childhood curriculum).

Prebbleton frustrated over Punivai decision 

SPORTS 

STAR: Prebbleton have lost out to Burnside in the pursuit of their 

former junior player Isaiah Punivai for the 2019 senior rugby 

season. 

Young star opts to play for metro club 


PREBBLETON’S hope of 

securing the services of one of 

the country’s most promising 

rugby prospects has been dashed 

after they lost out to metro club 

Burnside. 

Isaiah Punivai made headlines 

earlier in the year when he left 

Christ’s College to take up a 

scholarship with St Kentigern 

College in east Auckland. 

The 18-year-old played junior 

rugby for Prebbleton. 

The country club understood 

Isaiah and his father, Vai, were 

open to a potential return to his 

former club due to it being their 

centennial year. 

However, Punivai has opted to 

continue his development with 

Burnside. 

“You can’t limit your own 

options so it [Prebbleton] was 

something to look at, but I guess 

what’s done is done now, my 

next few years are already set,” 

said Punivai. 

“Burnside just kind of ticked 

all the boxes for me.” 

Prebbleton are disappointed to 

miss out on the potential return 

of possibly the most high-profile 

junior player to come out of the 

club. 

“My understanding from 

those discussions are that he was 

keen and the family was keen 

to have a year with us for our 

centennial year,” said Prebbleton 

coach Derek Todd. 

“He’s a player that we were 

really looking forward to having, 

not just because of his ability, but 

about promoting the pathways 

that are available within our 

club.” 

Punivai is contracted to the 

Crusaders academy. 

It’s understood Prebbleton 

were due to have a meeting with 

Punivai following a meeting 

between him and the academy. 

“The outcome from that 

meeting, as I understand it, is 

that he was told he was playing 

for Burnside,” said Todd. 

“That’s fine, but why wasn’t 

that offered to anyone else or 

offered to us as his homegrown 

club?” 

“If we’re talking about country 

rugby and development, here’s 

a kid that could have done 

wonders for our community.” 

Punivai said he was not 

pushed towards Burnside 

by Canterbury Rugby or the 

Crusaders Academy. 

SUCCESS: Jack 

Rodgers, Maia 

Broughton and 

Luke Barrett 

show off their 

medal haul 

at the NZ 

secondary 

schools track 

championships. 

Selwyn club runners 

bring home medals 

A TRIO of Selwyn Athletics 

Club members took out medals 

at the recent New Zealand 

secondary schools track 

and field championships in 

Dunedin. 

The championships, held earlier 

this month, were attended 

by 1200 pupils from more than 

200 schools. 

Maia Broughton, who competed 

for St Andrew’s College, 

won two gold medals in the senior 

girls 100m and 200m events. 

The 16-year-old won the 100m 

final by just 0.02sec in 12.39sec. 

She followed the effort up in 

the 200m with a winning time 

of 22.19sec. 

Jack Rodgers, competing 

for Christchurch Boys’ 

High School, won gold in the 

junior boys 400m, bronze in 

the 100m and bronze in the 

4x400m. 

He also finished fifth in the 

long jump with a new personal 

best of 6.12m. 

Rodgers’ win in the 400m was 

emphatic, finishing in 52.30sec, 

nearly 2sec clear of his nearest 

rival. 

Behind Rodgers was Rolleston 

College’s Luke Barrett who took 

silver in a time of 54.24sec. 

All three athletes are coached 

by former Commonwealth 

Games runner Bev Peterson. 

Beatty’s hat-trick doesn’t 

stop Leeston-Southbridge 

•From page 1 

“It pitched on middle and hit 

the top of off stump, so it was 

almost the perfect delivery. It 

was pretty exciting, really,” said 

Beatty. 

He came into his hat-trick on 

on the back of being walloped 

for two sixes by Leeston- 

Southbridge’s Ben Donkers. 

“It wasn’t ideal but he got out 

the following over. For my next 

over I was just trying to bowl 

yorker length and had a field set 

for it,” said Beatty, who is also the 

club’s president. 

Earlier Beatty also claimed the 

wicket of Toby Doyle to finish 

with 4/22 from his four overs. 

However, Beatty’s remarkable 

spell wasn’t enough to get his side 

across the line against Leeston- 

Southbridge. 

Their 95-run win means 

Leeston-Southbridge keep 

their place at the top of the 

competition. 

After two wins on the opening 

day of the competition, Leeston- 

ATTACK: Ben Donkers scored 

45 from just 19 deliveries for 

Leeston-Southbridge. 

Southbridge suffered their first 

loss on Saturday morning at 

Dudley Park, going down by 

seven wickets to Cheviot. 

Cheviot reached their target of 

96 with just one ball remaining. 

But Leeston-Southbridge 

bounced back in their second 

match of the day against 

Darfield. 

Batting first, Leeston- 

Southbridge made 157/7. The 

charge was led by Donkers – who 

has returned home from Otago 

University – and Chris Beatson. 

Donkers, batting at No 3, 

scored 45 from just 19 deliveries. 

His knock included five sixes and 

two fours. 

Beatson, batting at No 5, then 

steered the innings home with an 

unbeaten 46 off 31. 

The hat-trick was the only 

highlight for Darfield as they 

were bowled out for 62 in the 

19th over. 

Earlier in the day, they lost to 

Sefton on the final ball of the 

match. 

Sefton scored a boundary, 

needing three runs from the last 

delivery.

Motoring 

• By Ross Kiddie 

MY WIFE will tell you I’m not a 

big fan of supermarkets, and she 

is right, I see them as a necessary 

evil. 

However, there is one thing 

that I find favour with, and that is 

when it comes to pay, the item is 

scanned through the barcode and 

that is what it costs. 

It should be that simple when it 

comes to buying cars – one price, 

no discounts, what you see on the 

price tag is what you pay. 

Honda has utilised that price 

promise concept for several years, 

and it’s been very successful for 

the company, people rock up and 

there is no need to talk turkey 

over the price. 

Toyota, too, have just incorporated 

that method of selling and 

judging by recent sales figures it’s 

keeping Toyota in a comfortable 

position as the end-of-year sales 

figures roll in. 

Toyota’s success this year has 

also been buoyed by the arrival 

of a new Corolla, a car which 

doesn’t look that much different 

to that of the previous generation, 

but underneath it has had some 

significant changes for comfort, 

safety and driveability. 

The Corolla lands with a choice 

of five different models, two of 

those are hybrid. Regular readers 

will recall my hybrid evaluation 

at the beginning of last month, 

and it served to convince me that 

hybrids are a viable future as we 

head into the electric revolution. 

However, this evaluation surrounds 

the mid-spec SX model 

which has a traditional power 

plant, a 2-litre four-cylinder 

petrol engine. Gone is the 1.8-litre 

unit of the previous generation; 

in the name of progress, the new 

power plant is more refined than 

before, has more power and marginally 

greater fuel economy. 

Toyota rates the new engine 

with 125kW at the top end and 

200Nm of torque, up 21 per cent 

and 15 per cent respectively. The 

points of delivery are quite tall 

in the rev band – 6600rpm and 

4800rpm, however, such are the 

overall outputs there is still a 

broad spread of power. Take into 

account as well, the engine drives 

through a paddle-shift continuously 

variable transmission which 

is stepped through 10 points, 

which means the engine isn’t 

loaded. 

Together there is good harmony 

and fluid response to accelerator 

input. The engine feels quite zingy 

and strong, it works the rev band 

freely and, I guess, you’d expect 

nothing less, Toyota has built millions 

of Corolla engines and I’d be 

surprised if it didn’t feel right. 

It is also an engine which is 

light on fuel use. That’s a necessary 

criteria in these days of wayward 

fuel prices. Toyota claims 

a six-litre per 100km (47mpg) 

combined cycle average, which 

sits well with the fuel usage readout 

in the test car. It was showing 

a constant 7.2l/100km (39mpg) 

• Price – Toyota Corolla SX, 

$32,490

Local 

News 

Now 

Nothing has changed in Corolla – except everything 

TOYOTA COROLLA SX: No-haggle price of $32,490 

SELWYN TIMES 


during a mix of pre-Christmas 

inner-city driving and a Port Hills 

loop. At 100km/h the engine 

is working over slowly at just 

1500rpm, returning an instantaneous 

fuel usage consumption of 

just 4.5l/100km (63mpg). 

My wife had a work Christmas 

function to attend in Barrys Bay, 

so the Corolla was used to travel 

to that event. 

The Christchurch/Akaroa 

Highway isn’t my favourite piece 

of road given the volume of traffic, 

but the Corolla responded 

well on the few overtaking 

opportunities that presented 

themselves. An overtaking time 

of 6.8sec is possible (80km/h- 

120km/h), while from a standstill 

it will also launch to 100km/h in 

9.2sec. 

Those figures give you some 

indication of its zest and ability. It 

also handles nicely with beautiful 

steering and strong steering 

feedback. That’s no surprise, 

over the years Corollas destined 

for our market have had chassis 

engineering developed for our 

roads and that certainly showed 

on the twists and turns of the 

Akaora hill. 

Add in the development 

work Toyota has done with the 

chassis in the latest generation 

car and you have a dynamic 

handling vehicle, one which 

belies its role as a mainstream 

hatchback. 

Elsewhere, the Corolla stands 

out for its quality of build and 

high amount of fitment. At the 

new no-haggle price of $32,490, 

the SX includes all the features 

you need for convenience and, of 

course, comfort has been a high 

manufacturing priority. 

On the subject of prices, an 

entry-level base model Corolla 

is available for $29,990, and that 

would be the car for me, but if 

you want all the bells and whistles 

then the ZR at $37,490 is also 

there to tempt. 

According to Toyota’s 

advertising slogan, nothing has 

changed for the new generation 

Corolla – except everything. Sure, 

it looks like the Corolla we have 

come to know and love, and it 

certainly drives like a Corolla 

should, the only thing is that it is 

much better in every respect.

SELWYN TIMES 


DIVERSE: It’s time to harvest summer salad vegetables. (Centre and below) – Flowering annuals should be providing a wealth of colour. Only irrigate your lawn in 

cooler temperatures. 

Control the growth in your garden 

SUMMER IS here. It’s a hugely 

busy time in the garden with 

vigorous growth on most plants, 

harvesting of early maturing 

summer vegetables and preparing 

the garden if you are planning on 

heading away. 

Vege garden 

Summer salad vegetables will 

be maturing mid/late December. 

Regularly apply side dressings of 

fertiliser to enhance the growth of 

these plants. With quick maturing 

crops such as radishes, dwarf 

beans and lettuce, use succession 

planting (every two to three 

weeks) to avoid them all maturing 

at the same time and ensuring 

you have a constant supply. 

Plan you watering or irrigation 

programme to encourage strong 

plant growth while avoiding 

wasting any water. Apply mulch 

to reduce water loss and help prevent 

weed growth. Early planted 

potatoes should be ready to be 

harvested for Christmas Day. 

Continue to remove the lateral 

growth on your tomato plants 

until they reach around 1m, and 

tie up to stakes at regular points 

(every 100–150mm). 

Summer flowers 

With little effort, summer 

annuals can provide masses of 

colour and beauty in the garden 

or containers. Summer flowers 

include; ageratum, cornflower, 

cosmos, marigolds, petunias, 

portulacas, salvias, strawflowers 

and zinnias. Deadhead old finished 

flowers to encourage more 

flowering. 

Fruit trees 

Early stone fruit such as plums 

start to ripen towards the end 

of the month. You may need to 

remove some excess new growth 

and thin laden bunches of fruit 

to help promote heavy cropping. 

Water newly planted fruit trees 

and mulch as soils begin to dry. 

Berries and strawberries 

Boysenberries, blackcurrants, 

gooseberries and raspberries can 

be harvested in late December. 

They will be developing new 

canes that should be tied down 

or removed when there is 

excessive growth. 

It’s a great month for harvesting 

strawberries. Protect plants 

with bird netting so they don’t 

eat the fruit before you do. Place 

pea straw or crushed bark around 

plants so fruit are sitting on a 

‘clean bed’. Water as required and 

with the minimum of maintenance 

you should be harvesting 

delicious, juicy strawberries well 

into January. 

Roses 

It’s an excellent month for rose 

before the difficult months of 

January and February. It’s important 

to continue to deadhead finished 

flowers to encourage more 

blooms. Apply regular side dressings 

of rose fertiliser to encourage 

strong healthy growth. Carry out 

summer pruning to promote further 

flowering. Inspect your roses 

regularly for signs of blackspot 

and rust and instigate a regular 

spraying programme to control 

these diseases. 

Lawns 

Depending on specific summer 

weather conditions, lawns 

should either be in peak condition 

or beginning to dry out. 

Avoid mowing too low over hot 

summer months and do not 

apply fertiliser. If water supply allows, 

irrigate lawns in the cooler 

parts of the day. If you have 

bare patches appearing, you will 

need to be patient and wait until 

TASTE: Late December is the 

normal time to be picking 

berries. 

autumn before carrying out any 

repair work. 

Preparing the garden for 

summer holidays 

Because we traditionally 

holiday in the Christmas/January 

period, “deserting” the garden at 

this time can lead to problems. 

It’s better to plan ahead and be 

prepared. Avoid problems by not 

having your vegetable crops maturing 

during this time, applying 

a good layer of mulch and installing 

a timer or asking a neighbour 

to water your garden while you 

are away. This is especially important 

with plants in containers. 

Have a blooming fantastic 

Christmas and enjoy the holidays.

WORKSAFE NEW Zealand 

has b en a proached in a bid to 

fina ly repair the potholes in New 

Brighton’s Hawke St car park. 

Coastal-Burw od Ward city 

counci lor David East wants 

WorkSafe to pre sure the car 

park’s private owners into 

repairing the potholes which are 

a “trip and vehicle” hazard. 

WorkSafe chief inspector 

a se sment southern Da ren 

Handforth said it may be able to 

take action under the Health and 

Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a 

person conducting a busine s or 

undertaking.” 

Mr Handforth said WorkSafe 

is aware of the concerns raised by 

Cr East abou the car park. 

“WorkSafe has completed 

an a se sment visi to the site 

and is engaging with the owner 

to advise them that it is their 

responsibility to manage their 

risks a propriately.” 

Different parts of the car park 

are owned by various people 

and the Coastal-Burw od 

Community Board recently 

wrote to them about its concerns 

around health and safety. 

Cr East said the bi gest i sue 

in the past has b en ge ting in 

touch with the landlords and 

owners and ge ting them to 

agr e to anything. “The board 

a preciates that multi-ownership 

of the parking space may present 

a difficulty in co-ordinating 

repair/resurfacing but felt obliged 

to pa s these concerns onto you,” 

said the le ter. 

One reply has b en received so 

far from an owner who is wi ling 

to discu s the i sue. However, a l 

the owners would have to agr e 

to undertake work. 

Cr East said there had b en 

a “number of incidences” in 

the car park of people injuring 

themselves which had gone 

unreported. 

“I’ve always though that it 

has b en quite amazing that we 

haven’t had any serious a cidents 

or senior citizens perhaps 

tri ping in those potholes and 

doing themselve some damage.” 

He is confiden the new 

a proach wi l bring results. 

“I think the WorkSafe 

involvement may prove to be the 

lever that we are l oking for.”

Community Board has taken the 

rare step of starting a petition 

to figh the city council over 

funding. 

Signatures are being co lected 

in a bid to get funding for a community 

facility in Shirley. 

It comes after the city council 

removed funding for the centre 

pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the 

intersection with Hi ls Rd. This 

was the site of the former community 

centre, which was badly 

damaged in the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. 

The removal o funding 

prompted community board 

chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten 

to stan down, citing it as her “die 

in the ditch” project. 

Ms Jone said the board’s role 

is to represen the community, 

and by gathering signatures from 

residents, it was fulfi ling that 

role. 

“One of the roles of a community 

board is to represent and act 

as advocate for the interests of its 

community and this is what we 

are doing. The LTP and a nual 

plans are a l about lo bying the 

council.”

Cave Rock 

Apartments’ 

owners 

expect EQC 

sign-off 

this week 

• By Sarla Donovan 

THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave 

Rock Apartments ar expecting the 

Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off 

on a se tlement agr emen this w ek. 

Body corporate chairman Mike 

White said the group had gone 

into mediation with IAG and EQC 

on February 20, and signed off 

on a deal with IAG on February 

2 – coincidenta ly seven years 

to the day after the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. However, they 

are waiting for EQC to sign the 

agr ement. 

“Given that EQC actua ly drafted 

the agr ement, there’ l be no 

problem with them doing that.” 

The apartment suffere damage 

in the February and June, 20 1, 

earthquakes and were demolished in 

late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the 

difference betw en indemnity value, 

$10 mi lion, and the sum insured, 

$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body 

corporate. 

The mediation agr ement 

prevented Mr White from disclosing 

the se tlement amount, but he said it 

involved the two parties paying “a bit 

more money than they’d wanted to 

earlier.”

international competition. 

New World Fe ry Rd butcher 

Jeremy Garth and his team, the 

Pure South Sharp Blacks, recently 

came second a the World 

Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern 

Ireland. 

It was the firs time Mr Garth 

had competed in the cha lenge 

and he was “rea ly proud” of 

how the team performed. 

“We produced some top quality 

products and came away 

with a g od result so we’re very 

ha py,” he said. 

The preparation for this year’s 

World Butchers’ Cha lenge was 

intense as the team members 

met in Auckland every two 

months for lengthy w ekend 

practices. 

Mr Garth, who has b en a 

butcher for 14 years, said the 

competition brought back his 

pa sion for the job. 

“Doing a l thi stuff and 

m eting new people, s eing new 

ideas, it just brings that flair 

back for you,” he said. 

Mr Garth hopes t own a 

butcher shop of his own someday 

but says for now he wi l focus 

on ge ting mor experience 

and on the 2020 cha lenge. 

“In two years’ time, we’ l be

AN U PER Ri carton butcher 

has proven himself to be a cut 

above his Au sie rivals at an 

international competition. 

Elite Meats owner Corey 

Winder was named in the a l 

star team a the World Butchers’ 

Cha lenge in Northern Ireland. 

Mr Winder and his team, the 

Pure South Sharp Blacks, which 

includes W olston butcher 

Jeremy Garth, finished second 

in the competition. 

He said the cha lenge started 

as a “transtasman test match” 

seven years ago. 

The preparation for this 

year’s World Butchers’ Challenge 

was intense as the team 

members met in Auckland 

every two months for lengthy 

w ekend practices. Mr Winder 

said coming second against 1 

other countries was a “fantastic” 

result. 

“To get second behind Ireland 

was a huge achievement and to 

be ahead of Australia is an 

even bi ger thing for us,” he 

said. 

But Mr Winder admires the 

Australian team. 

“Those guys over there 

[Australia] are on top of their 

game, they do a g od job,” he 

said. 

“And it just showcases that 

New Zealand has got some 

of the best butchers in the 

world,” he said.

THE PAPANUI-I nes 

Community Board has taken the 

rare step of starting a petition 

to figh the city council over 

funding. 

Signatures are being co lected 

in a bid to get funding for a community 

facility in Shirley. 

It comes after the city council 

removed funding for the centre 

pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the 

intersection with Hi ls Rd. This 

was the site of the former community 

centre, which was badly 

damaged in the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. 

The removal o funding 

prompted community board 

chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten 

to stan down, citing it as her “die 

in the ditch” project. 

Ms Jone said the board’s role 

is to represen the community, 

and by gathering signatures from 

residents, it was fulfi ling that 

role. 

“One of the roles of a community 

board is to represent and act

THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave 

Rock Apartments ar expecting the 

Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off 

on a se tlement agr emen this w ek. 

Body corporate chairman Mike 

White said the group had gone 

into mediation with IAG and EQC 

on February 20, and signed off 

on a deal with IAG on February 

2 – coincidenta ly seven years 

to the day after the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. However, they 

are waiting for EQC to sign the 

agr ement. 

“Given that EQC actua ly drafted 

the agr ement, there’ l be no 

problem with them doing that.” 

The apartment suffere damage 

in the February and June, 20 1, 

earthquakes and were demolished in 

late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the 

difference betw en indemnity value, 

$10 mi lion, and the sum insured, 

$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body 

corporate. 

The mediation agr ement 

prevented Mr White from disclosing 

the se tlement amount, but he said it 

involved the two parties paying “a bit 

more money than they’d wanted to 

earlier.”

This Christmas we are 

offering you the gift of a 

Self-Sustaining Income 

and Growth Opportunity 

Kip McGrath Education Centre, Selwyn District, Canterbury 

20 years ago my husband Mark 

Larson and I (Anne Larson) 

discovered an opportunity to use 

our teaching skills to help students 

whose learning needs were not met 

well by mainstream education. We 

bought a Kip McGrath Centre and 

gave up the classroom for one to 

one individualized tuition. This was 

the start of our journey of personal 

and professional fulfillment 

through making a real difference 

for students. 

Kip McGrath understood that every 

child learns differently and developed 

a methodology to help children to 

catch up and keep up in the core areas 

of English and Maths. Now, more than 

40 years later, Kip McGrath Education 

Centres continues to tutor primary and 

secondary students all over the world to 

help them reach their full potential. 

Early in our journey as the business 

evolved quickly our daughter Mel joined 

the team. We were all very passionate 

about providing meaningful and 

successful engagement with learning 

for all students. We have been family 

owned and operated ever since. 5 years 

ago we became local as well when we 

started a new centre in Lincoln. 

As a tuition provider we have found 

such a wide range of people that needed 

and benefited from our tuition services. 

We have enjoyed challenging extension 

learners, providing second learning 

opportunities for adult students and 

uncovering New Zealand curriculum 

to Bi Lingual Students. We have found 

the potential in at -risk alternative 

education students. We have created 

long standing relationships with 

students who perform best with 

ongoing support through their school 

life. Some students we have worked 

with for 5 or 6 years. One of the most 

rewarding things on this 20 year journey 

has been working with students who 

have never done well at school who 

experience academic success for the 

first time. 

One of our students began working with 

us 18 months ago. At the start he had a 

reading age of 10 years old even though 

he was almost 16. Over 12 months of 

tuition he raised his reading age to 15 

years with 100 percent comprehension 

understanding. He has just completed 

NCEA Level 1 which would not have 

been possible without this help. His 

mum’s emotional reaction was worth 

every minute of hard work. 

We have loved the quality lifestyle we 

have by being Centre owners as well. 

We have had the flexibility to pursue 

more than just work at the centre and 

have a balanced work and home life. 

My husband Mark has been Principal 

of a large school while we have been 

in business and continues now in 

high profile education work. I have 

continued to have a full and busy 

family life while running the centre. 

We have 11 grandchildren now that I 

still have time to read with everyday 

and frequently babysit. An enormous 

challenge for us was our 35 year old 

daughter’s battle with cancer. We 

were able to take care of her at home 

and help her husband and their four 

children intensively over the 7 months 

she was ill. We were enormously 

grateful that we could adjust our 

schedule to take time to grieve when 

we lost her. 

Big News for us! We have decided after 20 years in successful business with Kip McGrath that it is time 

to sell the centre so another passionate teacher has an opportunity to make a difference. Anne and the 

teaching team will stay on when the centre sells so there will be no disruptive changes for students and 

their families. We will keep you all updated throughout as we look for just the right person to sell to. 

In the last two years since we lost our daughter, we have been ticking 

over with an existing data base, without marketing it to its full capacity. 

We would love to herar from a qualified teacher, who wishes to step out 

of the current Education System and take charge of your own destiny, 

add your own creativity and take advantage of the current growth in the 

Selwyn area. 

The hours are flexible and students are allowed time off school to attend. 

Kip McGrath provide all the training and support you need and has a 

supportive business community throughout Canterbury. 

This business includes all the business tools and teaching components. 

There is the added opportunity of retaining myself and another teacher 

as tutors that would ensure “Business as Usual” to maintain minimal 

disruption to our students. 

We will take good care of finding the right person to sell to as we wish 

the centre to continue to contribute to our Communities future. 

We have handed over to Hannah McGowan from Harcourts Gold to 

market this opportunity. Hannah is well experienced in sales, finance 

and business operations. 

This is a business opportunity not to be missed and a 

great way to kick start your new year. 

The business must sell before the new school year. 

All offers will be presented.

Your guide to all things Real Estate 

in the Selwyn District 

Purchasing 

Choose a house design 

before finalising the section. 

the right 

section 

for you 

Aim for a sunny yard. 

Orienting a home towards the sun is 

critical when building for guaranteeing 

a warmer brighter home while adding 

value to the property. 

Before finalising the purchase of a 

section, sort out the basics of the house 

design you want and check it will work 

on that piece of land. Visit showhomes 

and look at how they are sited and talk 

to building company consultants, your 

architectural designer or architect. 

Weigh up where you want the sun to 

be at different times of the day. Once, 

kitchens and living areas were located 

on the cooler side of a home due to the 

coal range burning most of the day, 

which kept the home warm. Today, 

we look to the sun for that extra free 

heating so having sun in the rooms we 

use throughout the day is an advantage. 

For example, a sunny dining area around 

breakfast can be a nice way to start the 

day while warmth in living areas midmorning 

to late afternoon and sunny 

bedrooms later in the day can be ideal. 

With many sections there is a trade-off 

where some rooms may not get much 

sun. If possible position service areas 

like the kitchen, bathrooms, toilets and 

laundry on the south and southeast. 

Having a street view depends on 

personal taste while a sunny yard for 

outdoor living with some protection 

from prevailing nor’ westerly or easterly 

winds are also good aims. From the 

outset, work with your consultant or 

designer so you end up with the best 

possible design for your section and 

living needs. 

If building in a new housing estate 

its covenants will need to be observed. 

These rules state what is acceptable to 

the developer in keeping with the vision 

and standard for the subdivision. Some 

covenants are quite specific stating 

the type of cladding that can be used, 

acceptable roof pitch, and other design 

features, especially where they face the 

street. The types of materials and colours 

that can be used might also be required 

and a landscaping plan for the front yard 

expected. 

All details need to be provided to the 

subdivision developer and signed off, 

before the build starts. It is therefore best 

to address this before lodging building 

consent, in case critical changes need to 

be made to the design or materials. A 

bond is also often required to be lodged 

as protection against any damage to the 

roadside curbing and other aspects of the 

estate so factor this into your budget. 

The Selwyn District Council often 

requires a Geotech and soil test reports 

are included with any building consent 

application. If building in a new subdivision, 

talk to your developer’s 

representative as these may already be 

available. Of course, a due diligence 

check by you and your lawyer before 

purchasing any block of dirt will help 

avoid any issues. 

Having a street view 

depends on personal taste.
