6 Wednesday January 23 2019 Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi SELWYN TIMES News CONTROVERSY: Two Weedons Residents’ Association members are unhappy with Deputy Mayor Malcolm Lyall’s comments about the proposed Fulton Hogan quarry. near Weedons. Quarry opponents clash with deputy mayor •From page 1 Cr Lyall denied he was in support of the quarry. He said the comments were taken out of context. “I didn’t say that particular quarry,” he said. “The general comment I would have said to Mr Bain was that we did need good quality aggregate from quarries to do the work we do.” When Selwyn Times asked Cr Simon Moore Lyall if he was in support of the Fulton Hogan quarry near Weedons, he said: “If the site is proved to fit the criteria of the Resource Management Act, it will happen.” He said he is neither for or against the quarry proposal. If the district does not have “quality” aggregate, it would be in “trouble” and would not survive without it, Cr Lyall said. “Being a realist, we need gravel from somewhere. Where it comes from would depend on the consenting process,” he said. Mr Bain said Cr Lyall’s comments were “horrifying.” “He’s more interested in his roading and infrastructure projects than he is in people’s health,” he said. “He’s not being a realist, his [Cr Lyall’s] priority is gravel over people’s health.” Mr Moore was also concerned by Cr Lyall’s comments. Rolleston mum loses battle with cancer • By Anan Zaki A ROLLESTON mother who had alternative treatments to fight breast cancer has lost her battle with the disease. Nina Rodger died in the early hours of Thursday morning, at the age of 36, her widower Bruce said. Mrs Rodger’s condition deteriorated dramatically earlier this month. She leaves behind two children, Valentina, 5, and William, 7. Mr Rodger said telling the kids about their mother’s death was the “hardest” thing he had ever done in his life. “She always said to me when we first got together that she couldn’t wait to be with Jesus, so she’ll be very happy” he said. In December, Selwyn Times spoke to Mrs Rodger about her use of alternative methods – including a change of diet, natural supplements and oils. Mrs Rodger was surrounded by her family when she passed away. “The thing that’s come out of this is that Nina was given one or two days but she gave us COURAGEOUS: Rolleston mum Nina Rodger succumbed to breast cancer on Thursday. She leaves behind two children, Valentina, 5, and William, 7. four,” Mr Rodger said. “And those four days brought in family from all around the world together to have a party together beside her and that was beautiful.” Mrs Rodger was awake and talking until her final day, Mr Rodger said. She was diagnosed with breast cancer three years ago. Her condition worsened after Christmas and she was given just days to live on January 13. Her funeral will take place at Harewood Crematorium today. A Givealittle page was initially set up to support her alternative treatments but will now run to support her children. •To donate to Mrs Rodger’s children, visit: www.givealittle.co.nz/ cause/young-mum-ninabattling-breast-cancer HEAT PUMP SALE NOW ON!

SELWYN TIMES Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Wednesday January 23 2019 7 ECONOMIC POTENTIAL: Rolleston would be the ideal location for the South Island’s first IKEA store, says district councillor Craig Watson. Rolleston perfect • By Anan Zaki THE “TOWN of the future” could be the ideal place for the South Island’s first IKEA store. District councillor Craig Watson says Rolleston’s modern transport links puts it in prime position to cater for the Swedish furniture store’s New Zealand plans. Craig Watson Earlier this month, IKEA chairman Jesper Brodin announced that the company would be opening a store in Auckland in next few years, followed by a South Island store. Cr Watson called IKEA to look into opening the second store in Rolleston. “The IPort and Izone area already has the main South Island ports’ inland container storage,” he said. “That lowers not just the for new IKEA store cost of receiving goods but also the environmental impact because IKEA is built on importing goods from Sweden.” Selwyn Times asked IKEA if Rolleston was in consideration for the company’s South Island store, but it did not respond to the question. Instead, IKEA said: “Once the first IKEA store and e-commerce has been established, we’ll continue to explore other opportunities in the New Zealand market.” Cr Watson said IKEA is a “destination store” which would attract visitors to Rolleston. “I think there would be massive financial benefits in bringing an IKEA to Rolleston and the Selwyn area,” he said. IKEA’s e-commerce ambitions would also fit in well in Rolleston’s location. “With the motorways, we have a catchment of half a million people within an hour of Rolleston,” Cr Watson said. Selwyn Business Group founder Clint Ward welcomed Cr Watson’s efforts to bring IKEA to Rolleston. “It will enlighten people that Rolleston is actually growing,” Mr Ward said. Aside from creating jobs, it would also attract other businesses to Rolleston, he said. “I would imagine that with attracting people outside the Rolleston hub itself – like Darfield and West Melton – it would basically make the whole district busier,” Mr Ward said. Cr Watson had “no doubt” that other districts such as Waimakariri and Christchurch would compete hard for an IKEA store. “But the reality is if they are looking at good land, good accessibility and all the services, in my opinion Rolleston is the path of least resistance for IKEA,” he said.
