Fate of<br />
teenagers<br />
charged in<br />
‘drown him’<br />
case known<br />
this week<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
THE OUTCOME of the longrunning<br />
“drown him” court case<br />
will be known on Friday.<br />
Two teenagers charged over the<br />
alleged attack after the Rolleston<br />
fireworks display in November<br />
last year appeared in the Youth<br />
Court last week.<br />
The now 17-year-olds were defending<br />
a charge each of causing<br />
injury with intent to injure. They<br />
were 15 and 16 at the time. The<br />
case grabbed headlines after the<br />
15-year-old victim (now 16) was<br />
allegedly attacked on Tennyson St<br />
after leaving the fireworks display.<br />
He was pushed into a water race<br />
and had his head allegedly held<br />
under water, while others in the<br />
group watching yelled: “Drown<br />
him, drown him”.<br />
Judge Stephen O’Driscoll heard<br />
evidence over two days last week.<br />
He reserved his decision which<br />
will be released on Friday. The<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> was prohibited from<br />
covering the case last week.<br />
The teenagers who appeared<br />
in court were originally charged<br />
with aggravated robbery, but had<br />
their charges amended in August.<br />
The victim was left with a gash<br />
on his face that required stitches<br />
and a night in hospital.<br />

THAT MUST be one mean so and so who<br />
put a slug into Kylo the cat (page 3).<br />
And now Kylo’s family is having to pick up<br />
the tab for most of the vet bills, which don’t<br />
come cheap.<br />
Already the bill is up to $2500, but luckily help has arrived in<br />
the form of a Givealittle page. This online fundraising tool, which<br />
has rendered things like Telethon redundant, has raised more<br />
than $700 to help pay for some of the costs.<br />
That is a huge relief for Kylo’s family, and no doubt Kylo too,<br />
because it means there’s likely enough money around to repair the<br />
damaged cat.<br />
But it’s one very expensive slug.<br />
Great feat on page 1 today with David Beatty’s hat-trick. Top<br />
stuff.<br />

RECOVERING: Lachlan Sewell with the family’s cat Kylo, who<br />
was shot with an air rifle. (Right) – Kirsty Sewell with Kylo.<br />
MORE THAN $700 has been<br />
raised to help with a Prebbleton<br />
cat’s veterinary bill after he was<br />
shot with a high-calibre air rifle.<br />
Kylo, 2, left his house on<br />
Conductors Rd on November 27<br />
and didn’t return home for three<br />
days. His owner Kirsty Sewell<br />
said it wasn’t unusual for him to<br />
stray away from their house but<br />
she did become concerned as<br />
time went on.<br />
When Kylo returned, Mrs<br />
Sewell picked him up and placed<br />
him on her eight-year-old son<br />
Lachlan’s bed.<br />
“I didn’t realise he was hurt<br />
until I put him down and I was<br />
like ‘oh, no.’ He was limping and<br />
he had a big lump in his back,”<br />
she said.<br />
Mrs Sewell took Kylo straight<br />
to the vet where X-rays determined<br />
he had been shot and had<br />
a “major fracture” in his front<br />
leg.<br />
“We now know, post-surgery,<br />
the bullet went into the front of<br />
his shoulder, so somebody was<br />
taking a kill shot,” she said.<br />
Mrs Sewell said what had<br />
happened to Kylo made her feel<br />
“sick” and she could not understand<br />
why someone would want<br />
to hurt him.<br />
Kylo had surgery last week<br />
to remove the pellet and has a<br />
brace around his leg.<br />
It’s possible his leg may have<br />
to be amputated, but Mrs Sewell<br />
said they will have to wait to see<br />
if it heals first.<br />
Mrs Sewell’s friend has set-up<br />
a Givealittle page to help with<br />
Kylo’s vet bill, which is currently<br />
about $2500.<br />

“It’s possible some cases are<br />
only reported to police and some<br />
are not reported at all, but we<br />
know this is a widespread problem<br />
throughout Canterbury,”<br />
she said.<br />

Maddie back in Starship<br />
• By Emily O’Connell<br />
KIDNEY transplant recipient<br />
Maddie Collins is undergoing<br />
further testing in Starship<br />
Children’s Health in Auckland<br />
following a kidney scare.<br />
Tests results last Tuesday<br />
showed her kidney function<br />
“wasn’t great” and she had to<br />
be admitted to Christchurch<br />
Hospital.<br />
Maddie, 14, of West Melton<br />
was on route to Nelson with<br />
her grandmother Elaine Manson<br />
when her mother Sarah<br />
Manson-Collins received the<br />
results.<br />
The pair drove back immediately<br />
and Maddie was admitted<br />
to Christchurch Hospital for<br />
two nights before being flown to<br />
Auckland on Thursday.<br />
Maddie, who suffers from the<br />
kidney disease nephrotic syndrome,<br />
underwent a successful<br />
kidney transplant in January.<br />
Mrs Manson-Collins said they<br />
are unsure what is going on with<br />
her kidney and they hope they<br />
will be able to “get to the bottom<br />
of it” at Starship.<br />
“She’s great, she’s a wee bit<br />
scared if I was honest,” she said.<br />
Mrs Manson-Collins is unsure<br />
of how long they will be in<br />
Auckland for but says Maddie is<br />
HEALTH: Maddie Collins, 14, is back at Starship Children’s<br />
Health in Auckland after tests showed her kidney function<br />
“wasn’t great.”<br />
undergoing further testing and<br />
might also need a biopsy.<br />
Maddie’s ongoing health<br />
issues have meant she will be<br />
going back to Southern Health<br />
School next year.<br />
It comes after she has spent<br />
the past six months or so studying<br />
at St Margaret’s College,<br />
having been at health school<br />
prior to that.<br />
Mrs Manson-Collins says<br />
Maddie will have a “dual<br />
enrolment,” where she remains<br />
enrolled at St Margaret’s College<br />
but she will be attending health<br />
school and will have a health<br />
school tutor.<br />
“She’s missed so much school<br />
and something’s going on in her<br />
gut and it’s affecting her kidney<br />
and her well-being and we<br />
need to get on top of that. She’s<br />
just not managing full days of<br />
school,” she said.<br />
Health school is a school for<br />
year 1 to 13 students who are too<br />
unwell to attend full-time education.<br />
It offers tutoring at home,<br />
hospital or one of its learning<br />
centres.<br />
Although Maddie was initially<br />
“a bit hesitant” about going to<br />
health school instead of St Margaret’s,<br />
Mrs Manson-Collins<br />
says Maddie is looking forward<br />
to focusing on her core learning.<br />
Maddie and her family were<br />
told on January 16 their five-year<br />
wait for a kidney match had<br />
been found.<br />
They flew from Christchurch<br />
to Auckland early the following<br />
day and Maddie underwent an<br />
initial operation and then a second<br />
operation to reposition the<br />
kidney hours later at Starship.<br />
Mrs Manson-Collins said<br />
Maddie had an “amazing recovery”<br />
in spite of the first 48 hours<br />
not going to plan.<br />
Maddie received a kidney<br />
transplant from her father<br />
Adam Collins five years ago but<br />
her body rejected it.<br />
With only a two per cent<br />
chance of finding a donor match<br />
in New Zealand, the family<br />
did not expect to find another<br />
kidney in the country.<br />

Youth aid officer for <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
• By Emily O’Connell<br />
SELWYN WILL have its own<br />
youth aid officer from next year.<br />
The officer will work with<br />
schools in preventing children<br />
and young people reoffending<br />
and will be based at the Rolleston<br />
Police Station on Tennyson<br />
St from March.<br />
The decision<br />
is part of the<br />
nationwide<br />
boost of 1800<br />
police officers<br />
over the next<br />
three years.<br />
Currently,<br />
Lane Todd<br />
the district is<br />
covered by the<br />
Hornby youth<br />
aid officer.<br />
Canterbury Metro Area Commander<br />
Superintendent Lane<br />
Todd said the community policing<br />
team at Hornby is “pretty<br />
full at the moment.”<br />
Hornby and <strong>Selwyn</strong> police<br />
youth aid officer Senior Constable<br />
Bruce Ward welcomed the<br />
announcement.<br />
“It’s a big thing and I think<br />
what you’ll see is a real proactive<br />
approach because what we want<br />
to do is prevent youth offending,”<br />
Senior Constable Ward said.<br />
He said the position was needed<br />
because of the high rate of<br />
youth and schools in the district<br />
along with the youth offending<br />
age set to increase.<br />
“With the increase in [youth<br />
offending] age to 17, their offending<br />
will be dealt with youth<br />
aid officers,” Senior Constable<br />
Ward said.<br />
“At the moment, if you’re 17,<br />
you’re dealt with the district<br />
court,” Senior Constable Ward<br />
said.<br />
That will increase the number<br />
of cases handled by youth aid officers<br />
by about 20 to 30 per cent,<br />
he said.<br />
Including 17-year-olds as<br />
youth offenders is also “positive”<br />
Senior Constable Ward said.<br />
Many teenagers at that age are<br />
enrolled in secondary schools,<br />
he said.<br />
“So you might have a stolen<br />
car before that is stopped that<br />
had three 16-year-olds and a<br />
17-year-old, all going to the<br />
same school,” Senior Constable<br />
Ward said.<br />
“The 16-year-olds will get<br />
taken home and the 17-year-old<br />
gets arrested. So now as soon as<br />
you turn 18, you’re in the district<br />
court.”<br />
FAST FACTS:<br />
DECISION: A<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> youth<br />
aid officer will<br />
be based at<br />
the Rolleston<br />
Police Station<br />

DISHWASHER FIRE<br />
It took Leeston and Southbridge<br />
firefighters about five minutes to<br />
extinguish a dishwasher fire on<br />
Market St in Leeston at 9.20am<br />
on Thursday. Leeston chief fire<br />
officer Lloyd Clausen said the fire<br />
was caused by an electrical fault<br />
and the woman who was in the<br />
house at the time “did everything<br />
right” by phoning 111, evacuating<br />
the house, explaining what had<br />
happened and having working<br />
smoke alarms. He said other<br />
than burns to the dishwasher and<br />
joinery, there was “just a bit of<br />
smoke damage” to that part of the<br />
house.<br />

Our People<br />
SELWYN TIMES<br />
Claire Howison<br />
New school’s principal highlighting the<br />
Staff are set to move into<br />
Lincoln’s newest school,<br />
Ararira Springs Primary<br />
– Te Puna o Ararira, next<br />
month before it opens<br />
its door to pupils in<br />
February. Principal Claire<br />
Howison, 50, has spent<br />
the year planning for the<br />
new school and getting<br />
to know the community.<br />
Emily O’Connell spoke to<br />
her about the new role<br />
How and when did you get<br />
into teaching?<br />
I started teaching in 1991 and<br />
I’ve just always wanted to be a<br />
teacher.<br />
Why did you always want to<br />
be a teacher?<br />
I guess I had inspiring teachers<br />
when I was a child, who had an<br />
impact on my life and I decided I<br />
wanted to leave that impact and<br />
have that impact on others.<br />
How have you found your<br />
time teaching?<br />
I’ve absolutely loved them<br />
and hand on heart can say that<br />
there has been only a handful of<br />
days in an up to 30-year career<br />
where I’ve not ever wanted to<br />
go to work. I’ve just loved every<br />
moment of it.<br />
What have you learnt through<br />
teaching?<br />
That learning never stops and<br />
just the impact of learning in<br />
every aspect of your life. You<br />
possibly initially think that<br />
learning is only related to your<br />
school years but you just know<br />
it happens if you are taught to<br />
learn rather than knowledge that<br />
it will have an impact on you for<br />
the rest of your life.<br />
What would you say has been<br />
the most rewarding part of<br />
your career?<br />
There’s been many things,<br />
I’ve worked in quite a few<br />
different schools. I have<br />
worked in another school in<br />
the North Island where I was<br />
a foundation staff member<br />
so that was exciting. I guess<br />
connecting with people and<br />
quite real connections, both with<br />
colleagues and children and<br />
their families, that would be the<br />
most rewarding part.<br />
How has teaching changed in<br />
the time you’ve been doing it?<br />
That’s an interesting question.<br />
I’ve had this discussion with<br />
colleagues because people have<br />
said that it’s just got so busy and<br />
that we are working long, long<br />
hours. I’ve always worked like<br />
that. But teaching for me has<br />
never been a job, it’s always been<br />
a lifestyle. And while it is long<br />
and hard, it is rewarding. I’ve not<br />
noticed the change but maybe it<br />
has changed for other people.<br />
How did you come to being<br />
a foundation principal of this<br />
school in Lincoln?<br />
I’ve lived in Christchurch for<br />
20 years and have been a deputy<br />
principal of a large school for<br />
a good portion of that time.<br />
So I have worked with great<br />
leaders in the past and been<br />
involved in leadership but in<br />
that second tier of leadership.<br />
The opportunity came up and it<br />
KNOWLEDGE: Claire<br />
Howison is the principal of<br />
Lincoln’s newest primary<br />
school, Ararira Springs<br />
Primary. (Left) The school<br />
under construction, it is set<br />
for opening early in the new<br />
year.<br />
was advertised. The establishing<br />
board’s emerging vision for the<br />
school and my philosophy of<br />
education were really the perfect<br />
match. They were brave enough<br />
to appoint a first-time principal<br />
to the role and it was just the<br />
right thing and the right time for<br />
me as well.<br />
What was the large<br />
school you were deputy<br />
principal of?<br />
I have been deputy principal<br />
of both St Albans School and<br />
Fendalton Open Air School.<br />
What was the first school you<br />
taught at?<br />
My first school was Tawhai<br />
School in Stokes Valley in Lower<br />
Hutt.<br />
How was that experience?<br />
I think I was only 20-years-old.<br />
I was probably very fresh-faced<br />
and naive but had ideas of the<br />
kind of teacher I wanted to be.<br />
Did you go into teaching as<br />
soon as you could after high<br />
school?<br />
I did. I went straight from<br />
high school to university and<br />
what was teachers college then.<br />
I attended concurrently Victoria<br />
University and Wellington<br />
teachers college.<br />
Did you grow up in the North<br />
Island?<br />
I did, in Lower Hutt in<br />
Wellington.<br />
What made you move to<br />
Christchurch?<br />
I moved to Christchurch in<br />
1998 and I was flexible and just<br />
thought I would love to have the<br />
opportunity to live and work in<br />
the South Island before I settled<br />
somewhere permanently. And<br />
then not long after moving here,<br />
I met my husband Steve who is a<br />
Cantabrian.<br />
What do you live now?<br />
I live in St Albans.<br />
Do you think you will move<br />
to Lincoln or somewhere else in<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong>?<br />
Probably not. I will continue<br />
to commute. Just because my<br />
husband and children’s, Jacob,<br />
15, and Eva, 13, lives are here.<br />
They both go to Boys’ and<br />
Girls’ High respectively and<br />
my husband does the bulk of<br />
his work as a builder over this<br />
side of town. My whole family<br />
are also avid beach people so<br />
they surf and windsurf and<br />
things and being in <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
would make that just a little bit<br />
trickier. I’m not surprised but<br />
I have really enjoyed getting to<br />
know more about the Lincoln<br />
area and particularly where our<br />
school is, it’s just beautiful. Just<br />
feel so lucky to have a school in<br />
such a gorgeous area but also<br />
finding out about Lincoln and<br />
the education fraternity always<br />
talk about contextualising your<br />
curriculum but I’ve known<br />
that to be more true than this<br />
setting because it’s the impact<br />
of teaching in Lincoln has just<br />
added a very special dimension<br />
to our curriculum.<br />

impact of learning<br />
Have you ever taught<br />
your own children?<br />
So when I was at St<br />
Albans School, we were<br />
all at St Albans School<br />
together. But I wasn’t a<br />
classroom teacher there<br />
I was what’s called a<br />
walking deputy principal.<br />
While I taught them in<br />
various classes, I didn’t<br />
ever have them in my own<br />
class. I taught maths, or I<br />
taught gifted and talented<br />
programmes and they may<br />
have been in the odd class<br />
but I wasn’t a classroom<br />
teacher as such.<br />
What was it like on the<br />
odd occasion to teach your<br />
own children, was it a bit<br />
strange?<br />
Not really. It was really<br />
nice for us all to be at the<br />
same school.<br />
Can you tell me a bit<br />
about the new school<br />
and when it is opening<br />
officially?<br />
So it will officially open<br />
on February 5. The blessing<br />
will take place on January<br />
15, so we will be on-site<br />
in the three weeks prior<br />
to opening. It’s built for<br />
450 students but with a<br />
future capacity of 750, so<br />
they will build another<br />
block in the future if the<br />
roll increases. The hall and<br />
administration building<br />
though are for a capacity of<br />
750. It is modern learning<br />
environments with spaces<br />
designed for two or three<br />
classes to work together<br />
but complemented by<br />
lovely breakout spaces,<br />
kitchen and making and<br />
art facilities... It’s got<br />
two playgrounds and an<br />
internal courtyard and<br />
lots of landscaping with<br />
vegetable gardens and a<br />
wee orchard planned.<br />
How many pupils are set<br />
to attend next year?<br />
It’s variable . . . but at<br />
the moment we have 90<br />
children expected on day<br />
LEARNING: Claire Howison, pictured with her<br />
daughter Eva, 13, and son Jacob, 15, has been<br />
teaching for about 30 years.<br />
one. But I would imagine<br />
that would get up to 100 by<br />
February.<br />
Can parents still enrol<br />
their children?<br />
Yes, so all our enrolment<br />
procedures and links are<br />
on our website http://<br />
ararira.school.nz/.<br />
What’s it been like being<br />
a foundation principal?<br />
It’s been an honour<br />
really but I’ve also felt the<br />
responsibility of it<br />
. . . you’re not given a<br />
blank canvas but you are<br />
given the opportunity to<br />
create something that fits<br />
within the constraints of<br />
the ministry’s systems but<br />
is what you believe about<br />
teaching and learning. And<br />
that opportunity doesn’t<br />
come up very often. The<br />
easy option would have<br />
been to have recreated<br />
things that you know work<br />
but we’ve tried to stay true<br />
to the visions and values of<br />
the school . . . everything is<br />
centred around developing<br />
caring, curious and capable<br />
learners.<br />
Can you tell me about<br />
what you’ve been this<br />
year?<br />
We rented space off<br />
Lincoln University so<br />
we’ve been on Ellesmere<br />
Junction Rd just down by<br />
the football grounds. So the<br />
year has been spent<br />
just preparing and<br />
working through the<br />
ministry’s requirements for<br />
opening a new school<br />
. . . it’s also been<br />
connecting with the<br />
community, researching<br />
and reading and just<br />
establishing all the<br />
documentation and<br />
philosophy that underpins<br />
great teaching and<br />
learning.<br />
What are you most<br />
looking forward to when<br />
the school opens?<br />
Children. We’ve had<br />
a year I guess without<br />
children although some of<br />
this term we have<br />
spent getting to know<br />
families.<br />
What do you like doing<br />
outside of work?<br />
I’m an avid reader and<br />
I also enjoy keeping fit I<br />
run a community exercise<br />
group three mornings a<br />
week at 6am before I go<br />
to work and just really<br />
spending time with family<br />
and friends.<br />

Confidence in your Vehicle’s Safety<br />
Many vehicles only have a warrant<br />
of fitness check every <strong>12</strong> months so<br />
mechanical issues can go undetected.<br />
Given recent publicity around some poor<br />
WOF inspections undertaken further north,<br />
some people may be reflecting on their own<br />
vehicle’s roadworthiness.<br />
If you have concerns then why not have<br />
your vehicle looked over before the<br />
Christmas/holiday period. A quick look now<br />
by an experienced and capable automotive<br />
engineer will ease your mind by ensuring<br />
any potential issues are spotted while there<br />
is still time to have<br />
any needed repairs<br />
completed before<br />
heading away on<br />
social or holiday<br />
jaunts.<br />
The team at Rolleston<br />
Diesel & Petrols are<br />
always happy to<br />
check any vehicle<br />
and make repairs<br />

proper inspection<br />
has been carried out,<br />
leaving you feeling<br />
relaxed about your<br />
vehicle.<br />
Allen & Hayden on the job at<br />
Rolleston Diesel & Petrols.<br />
“We conduct all warrant of fitness checks<br />
by the book and don’t cut corners when<br />
inspecting a vehicle. It includes examining<br />
the brakes, suspension and steering,” says<br />

Petrols.<br />
Rolleston Diesel & Petrols<br />
has a high-tech facility,<br />
equipped with new and older<br />
equipment so they can cater<br />
for all vehicle makes and<br />

or one that has been around<br />
for a while. They work on<br />

light commercials (up to <strong>12</strong><br />
tons), motorhomes, buses,<br />

OF ALL THE things I expected<br />
to deal with as a stay-at-homedad,<br />
Vittoria being mean to<br />
another baby was not one of<br />
them.<br />
Maybe that was a foolish assumption,<br />
I don’t know, I’ve only<br />
got the one kid remember.<br />
What are you supposed to do<br />
in that situation? And what is the<br />
other parent supposed to do?<br />
Is there a book on this?<br />
On Tuesday I took Vittoria to a<br />
Plunket playgroup in Papanui on<br />
the advice of a fellow full-time<br />
dad.<br />
It was an enjoyable morning,<br />
the sun was out and there was<br />
plenty of toys and other kids for<br />
Vittoria to play with.<br />
During the course of her rambling<br />
about exploring, she went<br />
inside and sat next to another<br />
wee lass, only a couple of months<br />
younger than her who was playing<br />
with a book.<br />
So, naturally, she steals said<br />
book off the poor kid.<br />
The other baby’s mum was<br />
really good about it, even told her<br />
daughter to share.<br />
However, Vittoria was not satisfied<br />
with just taking her book.<br />
Oh no, she started grabbing<br />
anything this kid was holding,<br />
ignoring my vain pleas for her to<br />
desist or share.<br />
VITTORIA<br />
& Matt<br />
ELEVATED: Vittoria getting a<br />
unobstructed view of Mother<br />
Goose and other classic floats<br />
at the recent Santa Parade.<br />
Eventually the other baby got<br />
sick of Vittoria’s shtick and went<br />
to grab her book back.<br />
Vittoria promptly hit her in the<br />
head with it.<br />
I was mortified, I’d never seen<br />
her hit anyone else before (she’s<br />
hit me heaps, but not in anger).<br />
The wee lass started crying<br />
and I profusely apologised to the<br />
mum and told Vittoria off – but I<br />
don’t know if I did enough?<br />
Vittoria’s had bigger kids do<br />
similar to her and I didn’t know<br />
what I should have done then<br />
either. Other people’s kids seem<br />
like a minefield topic.<br />
Either way, I took Vittoria back<br />
outside to where there were older<br />
kids than her so she couldn’t<br />
cause any more grief.<br />
I suppose I’ll get better at this,<br />
I really don’t think I want a bully<br />
for a daughter, regardless of how<br />
dang cute she is.<br />
In a much nicer update, we<br />
took Vittoria to the recent Santa<br />
Parade in the city.<br />
I’m stoked the old floats like<br />
Mother Goose and the Haunted<br />
House are still about. I haven’t<br />
been to a parade in quite a few<br />
years so it was cool to see the<br />
old classics and share them with<br />
Vittoria.<br />

Subdividing attracts interest<br />
District<br />
councillor<br />
Debra<br />
Hasson<br />
writes<br />
about<br />
subdivision<br />
rules in the<br />
District Plan<br />
THE DISTRICT council is<br />
undertaking a review of it’s<br />
District Plan. Subdividing<br />
always attracts a lot of interest<br />
due to its capital gain.<br />
Developing proposed subdivision<br />
rules for public submission<br />
is challenging. Generally,<br />
the process requires council<br />
to monitor trends, assessing<br />
them against the principles<br />
of the Resource Management<br />
Act, to see if a zone needs to be<br />
changed, created or protected.<br />
So, what’s changed since the<br />
last District Plan was adopted?<br />
Urban growth patterns<br />
Created by the Greater<br />
Christchurch Urban Development<br />
Strategy was forward<br />
thinking. This agency, developed<br />
an urban infrastructure<br />
plan for future growth in and<br />
around existing towns.<br />
The February 22, 2011,<br />
earthquake saw growth migrate<br />
to <strong>Selwyn</strong>. Thankfully,<br />
the strategy rezoned land<br />
prior, meaning deferred zones<br />
could be brought forward<br />
and released for development.<br />
The idea then allows suitable<br />
adjacent land to be rezoned as<br />
required.<br />
Rural subdivisions<br />
Envisaged 4ha inner plains<br />
and 20ha outside.<br />
However, a disparity allowing<br />
outer plains landowners<br />
owning 40ha plus to subdivide<br />
a minimum 5000m 2 enabling<br />
a dwelling and a no build<br />
covenant over the remaining<br />
19.5ha, retaining a residential<br />
density of one house per 20ha,<br />
has seen the same argument<br />
for subdivision in the inner<br />
plains enabling the creation of<br />
1ha lots scattered throughout<br />
both rural zones.<br />
Purchasing a small<br />
rural lifestyle block is popular<br />
and the recent <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
revaluation saw the average<br />
capital value of these blocks<br />
valued at $927,000 for rating<br />
purposes.<br />
This issue aside, over time<br />
lifestyle blocks have also be<br />
subjected to ongoing amenity<br />
challenges.<br />
For example, Christchurch<br />
City’s industrial growth on<br />
the boundary with <strong>Selwyn</strong> has<br />
seen the erosion of the green<br />
belt concept with only a thin<br />
line of 4ha blocks remaining,<br />
some divided by the new motorway<br />
and I would be right<br />
in suggesting the residents<br />
of Prebbleton do not want<br />
industrial-zoned land on their<br />
doorstep.<br />
And as zoned industrial<br />
land is costed per square metre,<br />
many businesses have<br />
found the purchase of 4ha and<br />
applying for a resource consent<br />
a cheaper option however<br />
when granted, often generate<br />
complaints from neighbours.<br />
As you can see rural subdivision<br />
has more challenges<br />
than urban.<br />
Having my say on your<br />
behalf, perhaps clearer zones<br />
and rules would alleviate some<br />
of these issues.<br />

PROJECT: Dancing figure sculptures and the year 8 pupils with arts teacher.<br />
School sculptures come alive<br />
• By Emily O’Connell<br />
A SIX-YEAR project, creating<br />
23 life-sized dancing figure<br />
sculptures, is coming to an end<br />
at Rolleston School.<br />
The project started in 20<strong>12</strong><br />
with the then year 2 pupils<br />
drawing a picture of the class<br />
dancing in a circle.<br />
Teacher Jade Bell said when<br />
reflecting on the drawings the<br />
pupils identified there were a<br />
number of things they needed<br />
to learn in order to complete an<br />
observational drawing.<br />
“So we explored people dancing<br />
through drawing and then it<br />
moved onto photography, painting<br />
and sculpture,” she said.<br />
Six years on, the pupils are<br />
now in year 8 and nine of their<br />
sculptures have been finished<br />
and will be placed in Rolleston<br />
in the new year.<br />
The remaining 14 sculptures<br />
will be installed in the community<br />
when they are completed,<br />
which Miss Bell said is “an<br />
ongoing process.”<br />
She said the sculptures are<br />
going to be installed in various<br />
spots including Rolleston<br />
Square, Rolleston dog park,<br />
Brookside Park, the school<br />
and outside New World Rolleston.<br />
“I was notified last week that<br />
four of our sculptures which<br />
were designated for Rolleston<br />
Reserve will need to find new<br />
homes, as planning is under<br />
way for the new Rolleston Town<br />
Centre,” Miss Bell said.<br />
Pupil Thomas Preston said<br />
installing the sculptures will<br />
mean a lot to the class.<br />
“We have been working on it<br />
for such a long time and it’s going<br />
to be nice to share our work<br />
with the community,” he said.<br />
The finished pieces looked<br />
“better than expected” to pupil<br />
Sean Bennett, who said it was<br />
great to be completing the<br />
project.<br />
For pupil Ashtyn Steele, the<br />
sculptures reflects the school’s<br />
values.<br />
“I feel that there has been a lot<br />
hard work gone into them and it<br />
shows our school attributes, we<br />
have been persistent and now we<br />
are successful,” she said.<br />
Rolleston Men’s Shed has been<br />
helping the pupils create the<br />
sculptures and Morgan and Pollard<br />
will install them.<br />

FACILITY: Go Hororata gathering ideas for the new Hororata<br />
Community Centre while visiting others in the district. <br />
Ideas sought for<br />
new Hororata centre<br />
• By Emily O’Connell<br />
A SPORTS floor, covered<br />
outdoor area and a stage.<br />
These are just a few of the<br />
features which could be included<br />
in the new $4.6 million Hororata<br />
Community Centre.<br />
A survey has been developed<br />
for people to have their say on<br />
what they would like to see included<br />
in the centre.<br />
It asks participants to rate<br />
the importance of a number of<br />
features such as having a lounge,<br />
a duty manager and kitchen.<br />
This will help Go Hororata,<br />
the group behind the new centre,<br />
develop conceptual plans.<br />
Go Hororata is formed from<br />
nine different community groups<br />
and elected members of the<br />
public.<br />
The district council has included<br />
the project in its Long Term<br />
Plan, it is planned to be built on<br />
Hororata Reserve in 2023/4.<br />
It will be funded through a<br />
mix of fundraising, development<br />
contributions, insurance, other<br />
funds and targeted rates.<br />
Hororata senior station officer<br />
Roger Parsons said he didn’t<br />
have any “special” ideas for the<br />
new centre but he will fill out the<br />
survey and see what happens.<br />
“I think there’s a group trying<br />
to keep the old hall, take it back<br />
to its original [state] and use it<br />
for a museum . . . which would<br />
be a good idea,” he said.<br />
Mr Parsons believes the new<br />
centre will be used more than<br />
the hall as “it’s not very inviting<br />
at the moment.”<br />
Go Hororata chairman Dave<br />
Sligh said Go Hororata is committed<br />
to developing a multi-use<br />
community centre which is an<br />
asset to residents, the district<br />
“and beyond.”<br />
“It is important at this point<br />
that all community groups and<br />
businesses express their interest<br />
in being involved in the project,”<br />
he said.<br />
Go Hororata has appointed<br />
Octa Associates to work with<br />
the community to develop a<br />
detail brief for the community<br />
centre and to engage with architects.<br />
In October, the group visited<br />
the Dunsandel, Greenpark, Tai<br />
Tapu, Templeton, West Melton<br />
and Glentunnel community<br />
centres to gather ideas.<br />

New safety vests keep<br />
Weedons pupils safe<br />
WEEDONS SCHOOL pupils<br />
will be a lot safer when they<br />
bike or walk to school thanks to<br />
new safety vests provided by the<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> Business Group.<br />
The group provides a network<br />
for small and medium-sized<br />
businesses which support<br />
other companies, charities<br />
and community groups in the<br />
district.<br />
Providing safety vests for<br />
Weedons School pupils was a<br />
low-cost idea with a big impact.<br />
It was suggested by Shona<br />
Cottrell, who runs the sewing<br />
school, Creative Edge Studio,<br />
and has children at the school.<br />
During her school runs, Mrs<br />
Cottrell noticed many pupils<br />
walking or biking around<br />
high-speed rural roads who<br />
were often not that visible to<br />
motorists.<br />
Principal Kathy Bell said the<br />
school has a number of pupils<br />
who catch buses to and from<br />
school on busy roads and some<br />
who cycle along 80-100km/h<br />
roads. “The new shiny vests will<br />
make them a lot more visible<br />
and will be greatly appreciated<br />
by these pupils and their<br />
families,” she said.<br />
Mrs Cottrell presented 25<br />
vests at a school assembly and<br />
said it was a great pleasure, as<br />

part of the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Business<br />
Group, to be able to give back to<br />
the community.<br />
“Keeping our children safe on<br />
SCHOOLS<br />
the roads is a priority and as a<br />
small business owner in <strong>Selwyn</strong>,<br />
it’s great to contribute in this<br />
way,” she said.<br />
Cooling down after<br />
a tough challenge<br />
West Melton School<br />
year 7 and 8 pupils took<br />
a dip in the school pool<br />
after completing their<br />
William Pike Challenge.<br />
The challenge<br />
involved tramping to<br />
the Woolshed Creek<br />
Hut track near Mt<br />
Somers. Bad weather<br />
didn’t stop the pupils<br />
from completing the<br />
challenge and staying<br />
a night in the hut. The<br />
challenge required<br />
them to engage in<br />
outdoor activities and<br />
community service.<br />

Discover your backyard with our<br />
100 days of summer<br />
West Melton opening<br />
This summer get out and enjoy what our district has to offer with our helpful list of activities to do<br />
in the district over the summer.<br />
Our 100 Days of Summer guide will be arriving in your letterbox this week. The activities range<br />
from a perfect day for the thrill-seekers through to something for those just wanting to lounge<br />
around in the sun.<br />
Growing up in Darfield and now calling it home, Mayor Sam Broughton has spent many years<br />
exploring <strong>Selwyn</strong>.<br />
He sees this as a great chance to have a chat to friends and family about how to make the most<br />
of down time around the holidays.<br />
“This is a great chance to create memorable adventures around <strong>Selwyn</strong> this summer,” he says.<br />
“It’s a magical district, with so much to see and do right on our own doorstep. I really hope people<br />
get out and about and enjoy the great locations and activities around <strong>Selwyn</strong>.”<br />
With ideas like going fishing, visiting some of the great summer spots, jumping on the<br />
TranzAlpine, heading out to Darfield, Leeston and Chamberlains Ford, visiting a winery and<br />
dozens more, there should never a day of head scratching – so residents should keep their 100<br />
Days of Summer list handy.<br />
Mayor Broughton says whether you’re new to <strong>Selwyn</strong> or have lived here for some time, he hopes<br />
you use this guide as a tool to relive your favourite memories or create some new ones.<br />
The 100 Day of Summer flyer should be arriving in letterboxes across the district this week.<br />
There’s also a chance to win cool prizes by posting your adventures on Instagram of you trying<br />
out one of our 100 Days of Summer activities. Just tag us at @sensationalselwyn and you’re in the<br />
draw. If you’re not on Instagram flick your pictures through to competition@selwyn.govt.nz, we’ll<br />
draw random winners throughout the summer and you can enter as many times as you like.<br />

help those in need<br />
Christmas is all about giving and our libraries are running a<br />

it on the Cantastic Tree between 23 November and 19 <strong>December</strong>.<br />

Enjoy the holidays and reduce your waste<br />
Summer is the season of parties and barbeques - and the Council is encouraging residents to help the<br />
environment and reduce the amount of waste going to landfill by making sure they dispose of holiday<br />
season recyclables responsibly.<br />
Christmas gift wrapping paper can be recycled as long as it’s not foil wrap. With gifts such as kids<br />
toys, please ensure that the different packing material types are separated. Toys, clothes, polystyrene,<br />
drinking glasses or crockery cannot go in the recycling bin. Remember, if it is not on the sticker<br />
underneath your bin lid, then don’t put it in the bin!<br />
For a full list of what you can and can’t recycle please visit selwyn.govt.nz/rubbish, or you can request a<br />
free sticker for your recycling bin with this information by contacting us on 347 2857.<br />
Rubbish and recycling collections scheduled for Christmas Day (Tuesday 25 <strong>December</strong>) will take place<br />
the prior Saturday 22 <strong>December</strong>. Collections scheduled for New Year’s Day (Tuesday 1 January) will<br />
take place the prior Saturday 29 <strong>December</strong>. All other collection days will proceed as normal.<br />
The Pines Resource Recovery Park at Rolleston is also open most days over the holidays including<br />
weekends and has a drop-off area where most recyclables can be dropped off at no cost. Check<br />

BACKYARD CRITTERS<br />
A vehicle<br />
crashed into the<br />
maintenance<br />
cupboard of<br />
Snap Fitness<br />
in Rolleston<br />
Square, at noon<br />
last Wednesday.<br />
There was<br />
nobody near<br />
the cupboard<br />
at the time. A<br />
Snap Fitness<br />
spokesman said<br />
the sole occupant<br />
of the vehicle,<br />
a woman, was<br />
uninjured from<br />
the crash. He<br />
was unsure what<br />
caused the car to<br />
hit the building. <br />

Newest generation<br />
well catered for<br />
Lincoln University Childcare and Preschool<br />
has now been around for 30 years and former<br />
pupils could be bringing their own children<br />
to experience what they had before.<br />
It was opened in 1988 to provide education<br />
and care for the children of families of the<br />
staff and students of Lincoln University,<br />
local research organisations and the Lincoln<br />
community.<br />
The centre has a separate under-two area<br />
that allows the children to play and learn<br />
in a safe and developmentally appropriate<br />
environment.<br />
New under-twos can now also get their first<br />
month free.<br />
All children have a primary caregiver who<br />
is responsible for ensuring that children’s<br />
individual needs are being met, for example<br />
in feeding, settling in and feeling secure in the<br />
centre. Having a primary caregiver enables<br />
infants and toddlers to build a sense of trust<br />
with the people who care for them.<br />
The centre can take up to <strong>12</strong><br />
children on the under-two side<br />
to ensure providing care and<br />
education of the highest quality.<br />
The teachers all have extensive<br />
training and experience in<br />
working with children of this age<br />
group.<br />
Staff are observant and<br />
responsive to children’s needs,<br />
strengths and interests and<br />
promote positive relationships<br />
among children that promote<br />
cooperative play.<br />
They also employ good-quality individual<br />
assessment and planning that helps teachers<br />
respond to and build on children’s interest<br />
and strengths.<br />
Each child’s progress is recorded in their<br />
profile books and their individual learning<br />
programmes are recorded there too. Parents<br />
are invited to contribute their knowledge and<br />
ideas for the development of their children’s<br />
learning opportunities.<br />
Children have access to a wide range of<br />
learning experiences that include individual,<br />
small and large groups, based on Te Whāriki<br />
(the Early Childhood curriculum).<br />
Te Whāriki, expresses the centre’s<br />
philosophy, supporting every child to be<br />
confident and competent learners, strong<br />
in their identity, language and culture, and<br />
forming strong partnerships with families.<br />

Marsupial of the bug world<br />
Mike Bowie is<br />
an ecologist<br />
who specialises<br />
in entomology<br />
(insects and other<br />
invertebrates). Each<br />
week he introduces<br />
a new species found<br />
in his backyard at<br />
Lincoln. His column<br />
aims to raise public<br />
awareness of<br />
biodiversity, the<br />
variety of living things<br />
around us. Check<br />
out the full list of<br />
invertebrates found at<br />
http://naturewatch.<br />
org.nz/projects/<br />
backyard-biodiversitybugs-in-lincoln<br />
ROLY-POLY, pillbug and<br />
wood louse are all names<br />
used for the cosmopolitan<br />
species Armadillidium<br />
vulgare.<br />
This introduced<br />
invertebrate from Europe<br />
rolls up to resemble a pill,<br />
hence the common names.<br />
Its genus name also gives<br />
a clue to its plate-like form<br />
used in its defence, much<br />
like the armadillo.<br />
Pillbugs can often be<br />
confused with rough slaters<br />
Porcellio scaber, however<br />
the latter cannot roll up,<br />
are flatter in appearance<br />
BUG: Roly-poly, pillbug and wood louse are<br />
all names used for the cosmopolitan species<br />
Armadillidium vulgare.<br />
and have appendages out<br />
their rear end.<br />
Pillbugs range in length<br />
from 9 to 18mm when<br />
mature, have a thorax<br />
which consists of seven<br />
segments, each with a pair<br />
of legs. They live for two to<br />
five years.<br />
These unusual bugs<br />
are nocturnal, so during<br />
the day are usually found<br />
under logs or dead plant<br />
material so as not to desiccate.<br />
They are detritivores,<br />
playing an important<br />
ecosystem service role of<br />
breaking down organic<br />
plant material to nitrogen,<br />
potassium and phosphorus.<br />
Females have a brooding<br />
pouch called a marsupium<br />
when they are pregnant.<br />
Females can produce up to<br />
three broods per year made<br />
up of 100-200 eggs.<br />
When the 0.5mm eggs<br />
hatch, they remain in the<br />
pouch for one to two weeks<br />
feeding on marsupium<br />
fluid.<br />
This truly is the<br />
marsupial of the bug<br />
world.<br />
Enrol now and get 4 weeks<br />
of childcare for under-2s<br />
Lincoln University Childcare & Preschool<br />
offers a caring environment for children<br />

Prebbleton frustrated over Punivai decision<br />
SPORTS<br />
STAR: Prebbleton have lost out to Burnside in the pursuit of their<br />
former junior player Isaiah Punivai for the 2019 senior rugby<br />
season. <br />
Young star opts to play for metro club<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
PREBBLETON’S hope of<br />
securing the services of one of<br />
the country’s most promising<br />
rugby prospects has been dashed<br />
after they lost out to metro club<br />
Burnside.<br />
Isaiah Punivai made headlines<br />
earlier in the year when he left<br />
Christ’s College to take up a<br />
scholarship with St Kentigern<br />
College in east Auckland.<br />
The 18-year-old played junior<br />
rugby for Prebbleton.<br />
The country club understood<br />
Isaiah and his father, Vai, were<br />
open to a potential return to his<br />
former club due to it being their<br />
centennial year.<br />
However, Punivai has opted to<br />
continue his development with<br />
Burnside.<br />
“You can’t limit your own<br />
options so it [Prebbleton] was<br />
something to look at, but I guess<br />
what’s done is done now, my<br />
next few years are already set,”<br />
said Punivai.<br />
“Burnside just kind of ticked<br />
all the boxes for me.”<br />
Prebbleton are disappointed to<br />
miss out on the potential return<br />
of possibly the most high-profile<br />
junior player to come out of the<br />
club.<br />
“My understanding from<br />
those discussions are that he was<br />
keen and the family was keen<br />
to have a year with us for our<br />
centennial year,” said Prebbleton<br />
coach Derek Todd.<br />
“He’s a player that we were<br />
really looking forward to having,<br />
not just because of his ability, but<br />
about promoting the pathways<br />
that are available within our<br />
club.”<br />
Punivai is contracted to the<br />
Crusaders academy.<br />
It’s understood Prebbleton<br />
were due to have a meeting with<br />
Punivai following a meeting<br />
between him and the academy.<br />
“The outcome from that<br />
meeting, as I understand it, is<br />
that he was told he was playing<br />
for Burnside,” said Todd.<br />
“That’s fine, but why wasn’t<br />
that offered to anyone else or<br />
offered to us as his homegrown<br />
club?”<br />
“If we’re talking about country<br />
rugby and development, here’s<br />
a kid that could have done<br />
wonders for our community.”<br />
Punivai said he was not<br />
pushed towards Burnside<br />
by Canterbury Rugby or the<br />
Crusaders Academy.<br />
SUCCESS: Jack<br />
Rodgers, Maia<br />
Broughton and<br />
Luke Barrett<br />
show off their<br />
medal haul<br />
at the NZ<br />
secondary<br />
schools track<br />
championships. <br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> club runners<br />
bring home medals<br />
A TRIO of <strong>Selwyn</strong> Athletics<br />
Club members took out medals<br />
at the recent New Zealand<br />
secondary schools track<br />
and field championships in<br />
Dunedin.<br />
The championships, held earlier<br />
this month, were attended<br />
by <strong>12</strong>00 pupils from more than<br />
200 schools.<br />
Maia Broughton, who competed<br />
for St Andrew’s College,<br />
won two gold medals in the senior<br />
girls 100m and 200m events.<br />
The 16-year-old won the 100m<br />
final by just 0.02sec in <strong>12</strong>.39sec.<br />
She followed the effort up in<br />
the 200m with a winning time<br />
of 22.19sec.<br />
Jack Rodgers, competing<br />
for Christchurch Boys’<br />
High School, won gold in the<br />
junior boys 400m, bronze in<br />
the 100m and bronze in the<br />
4x400m.<br />
He also finished fifth in the<br />
long jump with a new personal<br />
best of 6.<strong>12</strong>m.<br />
Rodgers’ win in the 400m was<br />
emphatic, finishing in 52.30sec,<br />
nearly 2sec clear of his nearest<br />
rival.<br />
Behind Rodgers was Rolleston<br />
College’s Luke Barrett who took<br />
silver in a time of 54.24sec.<br />
All three athletes are coached<br />
by former Commonwealth<br />
Games runner Bev Peterson.<br />
Beatty’s hat-trick doesn’t<br />
stop Leeston-Southbridge<br />
•From page 1<br />
“It pitched on middle and hit<br />
the top of off stump, so it was<br />
almost the perfect delivery. It<br />
was pretty exciting, really,” said<br />
Beatty.<br />
He came into his hat-trick on<br />
on the back of being walloped<br />
for two sixes by Leeston-<br />
Southbridge’s Ben Donkers.<br />
“It wasn’t ideal but he got out<br />
the following over. For my next<br />
over I was just trying to bowl<br />
yorker length and had a field set<br />
for it,” said Beatty, who is also the<br />
club’s president.<br />
Earlier Beatty also claimed the<br />
wicket of Toby Doyle to finish<br />
with 4/22 from his four overs.<br />
However, Beatty’s remarkable<br />
spell wasn’t enough to get his side<br />
across the line against Leeston-<br />
Southbridge.<br />
Their 95-run win means<br />
Leeston-Southbridge keep<br />
their place at the top of the<br />
competition.<br />
After two wins on the opening<br />
day of the competition, Leeston-<br />
ATTACK: Ben Donkers scored<br />
45 from just 19 deliveries for<br />
Leeston-Southbridge.<br />
Southbridge suffered their first<br />
loss on Saturday morning at<br />
Dudley Park, going down by<br />
seven wickets to Cheviot.<br />
Cheviot reached their target of<br />
96 with just one ball remaining.<br />
But Leeston-Southbridge<br />
bounced back in their second<br />
match of the day against<br />
Darfield.<br />
Batting first, Leeston-<br />
Southbridge made 157/7. The<br />
charge was led by Donkers – who<br />
has returned home from Otago<br />
University – and Chris Beatson.<br />
Donkers, batting at No 3,<br />
scored 45 from just 19 deliveries.<br />
His knock included five sixes and<br />
two fours.<br />
Beatson, batting at No 5, then<br />
steered the innings home with an<br />
unbeaten 46 off 31.<br />
The hat-trick was the only<br />
highlight for Darfield as they<br />
were bowled out for 62 in the<br />
19th over.<br />
Earlier in the day, they lost to<br />
Sefton on the final ball of the<br />
match.<br />
Sefton scored a boundary,<br />
needing three runs from the last<br />
delivery.<br />

Motoring<br />
• By Ross Kiddie<br />
MY WIFE will tell you I’m not a<br />
big fan of supermarkets, and she<br />
is right, I see them as a necessary<br />
evil.<br />
However, there is one thing<br />
that I find favour with, and that is<br />
when it comes to pay, the item is<br />
scanned through the barcode and<br />
that is what it costs.<br />
It should be that simple when it<br />
comes to buying cars – one price,<br />
no discounts, what you see on the<br />
price tag is what you pay.<br />
Honda has utilised that price<br />
promise concept for several years,<br />
and it’s been very successful for<br />
the company, people rock up and<br />
there is no need to talk turkey<br />
over the price.<br />
Toyota, too, have just incorporated<br />
that method of selling and<br />
judging by recent sales figures it’s<br />
keeping Toyota in a comfortable<br />
position as the end-of-year sales<br />
figures roll in.<br />
Toyota’s success this year has<br />
also been buoyed by the arrival<br />
of a new Corolla, a car which<br />
doesn’t look that much different<br />
to that of the previous generation,<br />
but underneath it has had some<br />
significant changes for comfort,<br />
safety and driveability.<br />
The Corolla lands with a choice<br />
of five different models, two of<br />
those are hybrid. Regular readers<br />
will recall my hybrid evaluation<br />
at the beginning of last month,<br />
and it served to convince me that<br />
hybrids are a viable future as we<br />
head into the electric revolution.<br />
However, this evaluation surrounds<br />
the mid-spec SX model<br />
which has a traditional power<br />
plant, a 2-litre four-cylinder<br />
petrol engine. Gone is the 1.8-litre<br />
unit of the previous generation;<br />
in the name of progress, the new<br />
power plant is more refined than<br />
before, has more power and marginally<br />
greater fuel economy.<br />
Toyota rates the new engine<br />
with <strong>12</strong>5kW at the top end and<br />
200Nm of torque, up 21 per cent<br />
and 15 per cent respectively. The<br />
points of delivery are quite tall<br />
in the rev band – 6600rpm and<br />
4800rpm, however, such are the<br />
overall outputs there is still a<br />
broad spread of power. Take into<br />
account as well, the engine drives<br />
through a paddle-shift continuously<br />
variable transmission which<br />
is stepped through 10 points,<br />
which means the engine isn’t<br />
loaded.<br />
Together there is good harmony<br />
and fluid response to accelerator<br />
input. The engine feels quite zingy<br />
and strong, it works the rev band<br />
freely and, I guess, you’d expect<br />
nothing less, Toyota has built millions<br />
of Corolla engines and I’d be<br />
surprised if it didn’t feel right.<br />
It is also an engine which is<br />
light on fuel use. That’s a necessary<br />
criteria in these days of wayward<br />
fuel prices. Toyota claims<br />
a six-litre per 100km (47mpg)<br />
combined cycle average, which<br />
sits well with the fuel usage readout<br />
in the test car. It was showing<br />
a constant 7.2l/100km (39mpg)<br />

Local<br />
News<br />
Now<br />
Nothing has changed in Corolla – except everything<br />
TOYOTA COROLLA SX: No-haggle price of $32,490<br />
SELWYN TIMES<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
during a mix of pre-Christmas<br />
inner-city driving and a Port Hills<br />
loop. At 100km/h the engine<br />
is working over slowly at just<br />
1500rpm, returning an instantaneous<br />
fuel usage consumption of<br />
just 4.5l/100km (63mpg).<br />
My wife had a work Christmas<br />
function to attend in Barrys Bay,<br />
so the Corolla was used to travel<br />
to that event.<br />
The Christchurch/Akaroa<br />
Highway isn’t my favourite piece<br />
of road given the volume of traffic,<br />
but the Corolla responded<br />
well on the few overtaking<br />
opportunities that presented<br />
themselves. An overtaking time<br />
of 6.8sec is possible (80km/h-<br />
<strong>12</strong>0km/h), while from a standstill<br />
it will also launch to 100km/h in<br />
9.2sec.<br />
Those figures give you some<br />
indication of its zest and ability. It<br />
also handles nicely with beautiful<br />
steering and strong steering<br />
feedback. That’s no surprise,<br />
over the years Corollas destined<br />
for our market have had chassis<br />
engineering developed for our<br />
roads and that certainly showed<br />
on the twists and turns of the<br />
Akaora hill.<br />
Add in the development<br />
work Toyota has done with the<br />
chassis in the latest generation<br />
car and you have a dynamic<br />
handling vehicle, one which<br />
belies its role as a mainstream<br />
hatchback.<br />
Elsewhere, the Corolla stands<br />
out for its quality of build and<br />
high amount of fitment. At the<br />
new no-haggle price of $32,490,<br />
the SX includes all the features<br />
you need for convenience and, of<br />
course, comfort has been a high<br />
manufacturing priority.<br />
On the subject of prices, an<br />
entry-level base model Corolla<br />
is available for $29,990, and that<br />
would be the car for me, but if<br />
you want all the bells and whistles<br />
then the ZR at $37,490 is also<br />
there to tempt.<br />
According to Toyota’s<br />
advertising slogan, nothing has<br />
changed for the new generation<br />
Corolla – except everything. Sure,<br />
it looks like the Corolla we have<br />
come to know and love, and it<br />
certainly drives like a Corolla<br />
should, the only thing is that it is<br />
much better in every respect.

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<br />
cooler temperatures.<br />
Control the growth in your garden<br />
SUMMER IS here. It’s a hugely<br />
busy time in the garden with<br />
vigorous growth on most plants,<br />
harvesting of early maturing<br />
summer vegetables and preparing<br />
the garden if you are planning on<br />
heading away.<br />
Vege garden<br />
Summer salad vegetables will<br />
be maturing mid/late <strong>December</strong>.<br />
Regularly apply side dressings of<br />
fertiliser to enhance the growth of<br />
these plants. With quick maturing<br />
crops such as radishes, dwarf<br />
beans and lettuce, use succession<br />
planting (every two to three<br />
weeks) to avoid them all maturing<br />
at the same time and ensuring<br />
you have a constant supply.<br />
Plan you watering or irrigation<br />
programme to encourage strong<br />
plant growth while avoiding<br />
wasting any water. Apply mulch<br />
to reduce water loss and help prevent<br />
weed growth. Early planted<br />
potatoes should be ready to be<br />
harvested for Christmas Day.<br />
Continue to remove the lateral<br />
growth on your tomato plants<br />
until they reach around 1m, and<br />
tie up to stakes at regular points<br />
(every 100–150mm).<br />
Summer flowers<br />
With little effort, summer<br />
annuals can provide masses of<br />
colour and beauty in the garden<br />
or containers. Summer flowers<br />
include; ageratum, cornflower,<br />
cosmos, marigolds, petunias,<br />
portulacas, salvias, strawflowers<br />
and zinnias. Deadhead old finished<br />
flowers to encourage more<br />
flowering.<br />
Fruit trees<br />
Early stone fruit such as plums<br />
start to ripen towards the end<br />
of the month. You may need to<br />
remove some excess new growth<br />
and thin laden bunches of fruit<br />
to help promote heavy cropping.<br />
Water newly planted fruit trees<br />
and mulch as soils begin to dry.<br />
Berries and strawberries<br />
Boysenberries, blackcurrants,<br />
gooseberries and raspberries can<br />
be harvested in late <strong>December</strong>.<br />
They will be developing new<br />
canes that should be tied down<br />
or removed when there is<br />
excessive growth.<br />
It’s a great month for harvesting<br />
strawberries. Protect plants<br />
with bird netting so they don’t<br />
eat the fruit before you do. Place<br />
pea straw or crushed bark around<br />
plants so fruit are sitting on a<br />
‘clean bed’. Water as required and<br />
with the minimum of maintenance<br />
you should be harvesting<br />
delicious, juicy strawberries well<br />
into January.<br />
Roses<br />
It’s an excellent month for rose<br />
before the difficult months of<br />
January and February. It’s important<br />
to continue to deadhead finished<br />
flowers to encourage more<br />
blooms. Apply regular side dressings<br />
of rose fertiliser to encourage<br />
strong healthy growth. Carry out<br />
summer pruning to promote further<br />
flowering. Inspect your roses<br />
regularly for signs of blackspot<br />
and rust and instigate a regular<br />
spraying programme to control<br />
these diseases.<br />
Lawns<br />
Depending on specific summer<br />
weather conditions, lawns<br />
should either be in peak condition<br />
or beginning to dry out.<br />
Avoid mowing too low over hot<br />
summer months and do not<br />
apply fertiliser. If water supply allows,<br />
irrigate lawns in the cooler<br />
parts of the day. If you have<br />
bare patches appearing, you will<br />
need to be patient and wait until<br />
TASTE: Late <strong>December</strong> is the<br />
normal time to be picking<br />
berries.<br />
autumn before carrying out any<br />
repair work.<br />
Preparing the garden for<br />
summer holidays<br />
Because we traditionally<br />
holiday in the Christmas/January<br />
period, “deserting” the garden at<br />
this time can lead to problems.<br />
It’s better to plan ahead and be<br />
prepared. Avoid problems by not<br />
having your vegetable crops maturing<br />
during this time, applying<br />
a good layer of mulch and installing<br />
a timer or asking a neighbour<br />
to water your garden while you<br />
are away. This is especially important<br />
with plants in containers.<br />
Have a blooming fantastic<br />
Christmas and enjoy the holidays.<br />

WORKSAFE NEW Zealand<br />
has b en a proached in a bid to<br />
fina ly repair the potholes in New<br />
Brighton’s Hawke St car park.<br />
Coastal-Burw od Ward city<br />
counci lor David East wants<br />
WorkSafe to pre sure the car<br />
park’s private owners into<br />
repairing the potholes which are<br />
a “trip and vehicle” hazard.<br />
WorkSafe chief inspector<br />
a se sment southern Da ren<br />
Handforth said it may be able to<br />
take action under the Health and<br />
Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a<br />
person conducting a busine s or<br />
undertaking.”<br />
Mr Handforth said WorkSafe<br />
is aware of the concerns raised by<br />
Cr East abou the car park.<br />
“WorkSafe has completed<br />
an a se sment visi to the site<br />
and is engaging with the owner<br />
to advise them that it is their<br />
responsibility to manage their<br />
risks a propriately.”<br />
Different parts of the car park<br />
are owned by various people<br />
and the Coastal-Burw od<br />
Community Board recently<br />
wrote to them about its concerns<br />
around health and safety.<br />
Cr East said the bi gest i sue<br />
in the past has b en ge ting in<br />
touch with the landlords and<br />
owners and ge ting them to<br />
agr e to anything. “The board<br />
a preciates that multi-ownership<br />
of the parking space may present<br />
a difficulty in co-ordinating<br />
repair/resurfacing but felt obliged<br />
to pa s these concerns onto you,”<br />
said the le ter.<br />
One reply has b en received so<br />
far from an owner who is wi ling<br />
to discu s the i sue. However, a l<br />
the owners would have to agr e<br />
to undertake work.<br />
Cr East said there had b en<br />
a “number of incidences” in<br />
the car park of people injuring<br />
themselves which had gone<br />
unreported.<br />
“I’ve always though that it<br />
has b en quite amazing that we<br />
haven’t had any serious a cidents<br />
or senior citizens perhaps<br />
tri ping in those potholes and<br />
doing themselve some damage.”<br />
He is confiden the new<br />
a proach wi l bring results.<br />
“I think the WorkSafe<br />
involvement may prove to be the<br />
lever that we are l oking for.”<br />
New bid to fix potholes<br />
Action looms<br />

The removal o funding<br />

role.<br />
“One of the roles of a community<br />

Cave Rock<br />
Apartments’<br />
owners<br />
expect EQC<br />
sign-off<br />
this week<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave<br />
Rock Apartments ar expecting the<br />
Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off<br />
on a se tlement agr emen this w ek.<br />
Body corporate chairman Mike<br />
White said the group had gone<br />
into mediation with IAG and EQC<br />
on February 20, and signed off<br />
on a deal with IAG on February<br />
2 – coincidenta ly seven years<br />
to the day after the February 2,<br />
20 1, earthquake. However, they<br />
are waiting for EQC to sign the<br />
agr ement.<br />
“Given that EQC actua ly drafted<br />
the agr ement, there’ l be no<br />
problem with them doing that.”<br />
The apartment suffere damage<br />
in the February and June, 20 1,<br />
earthquakes and were demolished in<br />
late 20<strong>12</strong>. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the<br />
difference betw en indemnity value,<br />
$10 mi lion, and the sum insured,<br />
$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body<br />
corporate.<br />
The mediation agr ement<br />
prevented Mr White from disclosing<br />
the se tlement amount, but he said it<br />
involved the two parties paying “a bit<br />
more money than they’d wanted to<br />
earlier.”<br />

A WOOLSTON butcher proved<br />
to be a cut above the rest in an<br />
international competition.<br />
New World Fe ry Rd butcher<br />
Jeremy Garth and his team, the<br />
Pure South Sharp Blacks, recently<br />
came second a the World<br />
Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern<br />
Ireland.<br />
It was the firs time Mr Garth<br />
had competed in the cha lenge<br />
and he was “rea ly proud” of<br />
how the team performed.<br />
“We produced some top quality<br />
products and came away<br />
with a g od result so we’re very<br />
ha py,” he said.<br />
The preparation for this year’s<br />
World Butchers’ Cha lenge was<br />
intense as the team members<br />
met in Auckland every two<br />
months for lengthy w ekend<br />
practices.<br />
Mr Garth, who has b en a<br />
butcher for 14 years, said the<br />
competition brought back his<br />
pa sion for the job.<br />
“Doing a l thi stuff and<br />
m eting new people, s eing new<br />
ideas, it just brings that flair<br />
back for you,” he said.<br />
Mr Garth hopes t own a<br />
butcher shop of his own someday<br />
but says for now he wi l focus<br />
on ge ting mor experience<br />
and on the 2020 cha lenge.<br />
“In two years’ time, we’ l be<br />
going back to try and win the<br />
title,” he said.<br />

A hearing i scheduled to be<br />

The bylaw comes as an increasing<br />

In the past year, the district<br />

AN U PER Ri carton butcher<br />
has proven himself to be a cut<br />
above his Au sie rivals at an<br />
international competition.<br />
Elite Meats owner Corey<br />
Winder was named in the a l<br />
star team a the World Butchers’<br />
Cha lenge in Northern Ireland.<br />
Mr Winder and his team, the<br />
Pure South Sharp Blacks, which<br />
includes W olston butcher<br />
Jeremy Garth, finished second<br />
in the competition.<br />
He said the cha lenge started<br />
as a “transtasman test match”<br />
seven years ago.<br />
The preparation for this<br />
year’s World Butchers’ Challenge<br />
was intense as the team<br />
members met in Auckland<br />
every two months for lengthy<br />
w ekend practices. Mr Winder<br />
said coming second against 1<br />
other countries was a “fantastic”<br />
result.<br />
“To get second behind Ireland<br />
was a huge achievement and to<br />
be ahead of Australia is an<br />
even bi ger thing for us,” he<br />
said.<br />
But Mr Winder admires the<br />
Australian team.<br />
“Those guys over there<br />
[Australia] are on top of their<br />
game, they do a g od job,” he<br />
said.<br />
“And it just showcases that<br />
New Zealand has got some<br />
of the best butchers in the<br />
world,” he said.<br />
Mr Winder has b en a butcher<br />

Board chairman Mike Mora<br />

Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if<br />
the city council would endorse the<br />

“I’d like to think so because the<br />

THE PAPANUI-I nes<br />
Community Board has taken the<br />
rare step of starting a petition<br />
to figh the city council over<br />
funding.<br />
Signatures are being co lected<br />
in a bid to get funding for a community<br />
facility in Shirley.<br />
It comes after the city council<br />
removed funding for the centre<br />
pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the<br />
intersection with Hi ls Rd. This<br />
was the site of the former community<br />
centre, which was badly<br />
damaged in the February 2,<br />
20 1, earthquake.<br />
The removal o funding<br />
prompted community board<br />
chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten<br />
to stan down, citing it as her “die<br />
in the ditch” project.<br />
Ms Jone said the board’s role<br />
is to represen the community,<br />
and by gathering signatures from<br />
residents, it was fulfi ling that<br />
role.<br />

THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave<br />
Rock Apartments ar expecting the<br />
Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off<br />
on a se tlement agr emen this w ek.<br />
Body corporate chairman Mike<br />
White said the group had gone<br />
into mediation with IAG and EQC<br />
on February 20, and signed off<br />
on a deal with IAG on February<br />
2 – coincidenta ly seven years<br />
to the day after the February 2,<br />
20 1, earthquake. However, they<br />
are waiting for EQC to sign the<br />
agr ement.<br />
“Given that EQC actua ly drafted<br />
the agr ement, there’ l be no<br />
problem with them doing that.”<br />
The apartment suffere damage<br />
in the February and June, 20 1,<br />
earthquakes and were demolished in<br />
late 20<strong>12</strong>. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the<br />
difference betw en indemnity value,<br />
$10 mi lion, and the sum insured,<br />
$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body<br />
corporate.<br />
The mediation agr ement<br />
prevented Mr White from disclosing<br />
the se tlement amount, but he said it<br />
involved the two parties paying “a bit<br />
more money than they’d wanted to<br />
earlier.”<br />

Exquisitely designed 5 bedrooms & 4 car garaging!<br />
If you’ve been looking for a property that oozes style &<br />
sophistication yet has been carefully thought out to cater for<br />
all your day to day needs, with so many extra’s that will leave<br />
you wanting for nothing more… then you’ll be excited you have<br />
finally found just that home! From the street, you’d be forgiven<br />
for thinking this home merely has a double garage, but once<br />
inside you’ll be overwhelmed to see an oversized 4 car tandem<br />
garage with drive through & additional workshop space, plus<br />
it’s also carpeted with a pull-down ladder for attic storage – a<br />
second ladder also in the hallway. This stunning 339m 2 home<br />
offers a large open plan living space with skylights & plenty of<br />
sliding doors to let the light stream in & enjoys seamless flow to<br />
the two outdoor deck areas & expansive lawn – an entertainer’s<br />
haven on 1076m 2 . You’ll love the central designer kitchen, with<br />
stone bench tops, double fridge space, twin wall ovens, 90cm<br />
cooktop & WIP with sink. A ducted heat pump/air con system<br />
& log burner caters for all year around comfort, & under tile<br />
heating in the bathrooms. The separate lounge with cathedral<br />
ceiling is an intimately special space. Heading down the wide<br />
hallway, you’ll find a large separate laundry with impressive<br />
storage, a separate toilet with basin, walk-in storage & 4 large<br />
double bedrooms – master having a WIR & tiled en-suite and<br />
access to the deck. The smaller 5th bedroom is located at the<br />
front of the home off the entrance, perfect for those who may<br />
wish to use it as a home office. We know you’re tempted!<br />

This Christmas we are<br />
offering you the gift of a<br />
Self-Sustaining Income<br />
and Growth Opportunity<br />
Kip McGrath Education Centre, <strong>Selwyn</strong> District, Canterbury<br />
20 years ago my husband Mark<br />
Larson and I (Anne Larson)<br />
discovered an opportunity to use<br />
our teaching skills to help students<br />
whose learning needs were not met<br />
well by mainstream education. We<br />
bought a Kip McGrath Centre and<br />
gave up the classroom for one to<br />
one individualized tuition. This was<br />
the start of our journey of personal<br />
and professional fulfillment<br />
through making a real difference<br />
for students.<br />
Kip McGrath understood that every<br />
child learns differently and developed<br />
a methodology to help children to<br />
catch up and keep up in the core areas<br />
of English and Maths. Now, more than<br />
40 years later, Kip McGrath Education<br />
Centres continues to tutor primary and<br />
secondary students all over the world to<br />
help them reach their full potential.<br />
Early in our journey as the business<br />
evolved quickly our daughter Mel joined<br />
the team. We were all very passionate<br />
about providing meaningful and<br />
successful engagement with learning<br />
for all students. We have been family<br />
owned and operated ever since. 5 years<br />
ago we became local as well when we<br />
started a new centre in Lincoln.<br />
As a tuition provider we have found<br />
such a wide range of people that needed<br />
and benefited from our tuition services.<br />
We have enjoyed challenging extension<br />
learners, providing second learning<br />
opportunities for adult students and<br />
uncovering New Zealand curriculum<br />
to Bi Lingual Students. We have found<br />
the potential in at -risk alternative<br />
education students. We have created<br />
long standing relationships with<br />
students who perform best with<br />
ongoing support through their school<br />
life. Some students we have worked<br />
with for 5 or 6 years. One of the most<br />
rewarding things on this 20 year journey<br />
has been working with students who<br />
have never done well at school who<br />
experience academic success for the<br />
first time.<br />
One of our students began working with<br />
us 18 months ago. At the start he had a<br />
reading age of 10 years old even though<br />
he was almost 16. Over <strong>12</strong> months of<br />
tuition he raised his reading age to 15<br />
years with 100 percent comprehension<br />
understanding. He has just completed<br />
NCEA Level 1 which would not have<br />
been possible without this help. His<br />
mum’s emotional reaction was worth<br />
every minute of hard work.<br />
We have loved the quality lifestyle we<br />
have by being Centre owners as well.<br />
We have had the flexibility to pursue<br />
more than just work at the centre and<br />
have a balanced work and home life.<br />
My husband Mark has been Principal<br />
of a large school while we have been<br />
in business and continues now in<br />
high profile education work. I have<br />
continued to have a full and busy<br />
family life while running the centre.<br />
We have 11 grandchildren now that I<br />
still have time to read with everyday<br />
and frequently babysit. An enormous<br />
challenge for us was our 35 year old<br />
daughter’s battle with cancer. We<br />
were able to take care of her at home<br />
and help her husband and their four<br />
children intensively over the 7 months<br />
she was ill. We were enormously<br />
grateful that we could adjust our<br />
schedule to take time to grieve when<br />
we lost her.<br />
Big News for us! We have decided after 20 years in successful business with Kip McGrath that it is time<br />
to sell the centre so another passionate teacher has an opportunity to make a difference. Anne and the<br />
teaching team will stay on when the centre sells so there will be no disruptive changes for students and<br />
their families. We will keep you all updated throughout as we look for just the right person to sell to.<br />
In the last two years since we lost our daughter, we have been ticking<br />
over with an existing data base, without marketing it to its full capacity.<br />
We would love to herar from a qualified teacher, who wishes to step out<br />
of the current Education System and take charge of your own destiny,<br />
add your own creativity and take advantage of the current growth in the<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> area.<br />
The hours are flexible and students are allowed time off school to attend.<br />
Kip McGrath provide all the training and support you need and has a<br />
supportive business community throughout Canterbury.<br />
This business includes all the business tools and teaching components.<br />
There is the added opportunity of retaining myself and another teacher<br />
as tutors that would ensure “Business as Usual” to maintain minimal<br />
disruption to our students.<br />
We will take good care of finding the right person to sell to as we wish<br />
the centre to continue to contribute to our Communities future.<br />
We have handed over to Hannah McGowan from Harcourts Gold to<br />
market this opportunity. Hannah is well experienced in sales, finance<br />
and business operations.<br />
This is a business opportunity not to be missed and a<br />
great way to kick start your new year.<br />
The business must sell before the new school year.<br />
All offers will be presented.<br />

Purchasing<br />
Choose a house design<br />
before finalising the section.<br />
the right<br />
section<br />
for you<br />
Aim for a sunny yard.<br />
Orienting a home towards the sun is<br />
critical when building for guaranteeing<br />
a warmer brighter home while adding<br />
value to the property.<br />
Before finalising the purchase of a<br />
section, sort out the basics of the house<br />
design you want and check it will work<br />
on that piece of land. Visit showhomes<br />
and look at how they are sited and talk<br />
to building company consultants, your<br />
architectural designer or architect.<br />
Weigh up where you want the sun to<br />
be at different times of the day. Once,<br />
kitchens and living areas were located<br />
on the cooler side of a home due to the<br />
coal range burning most of the day,<br />
which kept the home warm. Today,<br />
we look to the sun for that extra free<br />
heating so having sun in the rooms we<br />
use throughout the day is an advantage.<br />
For example, a sunny dining area around<br />
breakfast can be a nice way to start the<br />
day while warmth in living areas midmorning<br />
to late afternoon and sunny<br />
bedrooms later in the day can be ideal.<br />
With many sections there is a trade-off<br />
where some rooms may not get much<br />
sun. If possible position service areas<br />
like the kitchen, bathrooms, toilets and<br />
laundry on the south and southeast.<br />
Having a street view depends on<br />
personal taste while a sunny yard for<br />
outdoor living with some protection<br />
from prevailing nor’ westerly or easterly<br />
winds are also good aims. From the<br />
outset, work with your consultant or<br />
designer so you end up with the best<br />
possible design for your section and<br />
living needs.<br />
If building in a new housing estate<br />
its covenants will need to be observed.<br />
These rules state what is acceptable to<br />
the developer in keeping with the vision<br />
and standard for the subdivision. Some<br />
covenants are quite specific stating<br />
the type of cladding that can be used,<br />
acceptable roof pitch, and other design<br />
features, especially where they face the<br />
street. The types of materials and colours<br />
that can be used might also be required<br />
and a landscaping plan for the front yard<br />
expected.<br />
All details need to be provided to the<br />
subdivision developer and signed off,<br />
before the build starts. It is therefore best<br />
to address this before lodging building<br />
consent, in case critical changes need to<br />
be made to the design or materials. A<br />
bond is also often required to be lodged<br />
as protection against any damage to the<br />
roadside curbing and other aspects of the<br />
estate so factor this into your budget.<br />
The <strong>Selwyn</strong> District Council often<br />
requires a Geotech and soil test reports<br />
are included with any building consent<br />
application. If building in a new subdivision,<br />
talk to your developer’s<br />
representative as these may already be<br />
available. Of course, a due diligence<br />
check by you and your lawyer before<br />
purchasing any block of dirt will help<br />
avoid any issues.<br />
Having a street view<br />
depends on personal taste.<br />
