road

repairs

‘a waste

of money’

• By Devon Bolger

ONGOING temporary repairs

to Lincoln’s main street are

substandard and wasting

ratepayers’ money.

That is the view of the Lincoln

Community Committee which

wants a planned relaying of the

street fast tracked, a move the

district council says is unlikely to

happen.

There have been 29

unplanned repairs on Gerald St

so far this year caused by issues

with the foundation of the road.

There are substrate problems

making the road crack and

deform.

The number of repairs

compare to 20 in 2018 and 27 in

2017.

The district council has plans to

fully reconstruct the road as part

of the Lincoln Town Centre Plan

but not for at least another three

years.

It will be carried out in three

stages with stage one from Kildare

Tce to West Belt set to start in

2023.

SELWYN TIMES

I LIKE what is happening at Rolleston

College (see pages 8-9).

Students there are being given outside of

the box scenarios and then challenged to

argue and debate each situation.

This year a group of 50 students have

delved deep into the most mind-bending theories known to

mankind and been forced to argue they contain truths.

The class is called conspiracy and it covers matters like 9/11,

whether man actually landed on the moon and other contested

world events over the decades. It reminds me of a different kind

of class I took at school – philosophy. My mates and I knew the

teacher probably wouldn’t be there much.

So class time became basketball and other sports time.

Win, win you might say.

• By Devon Bolger

WINDWHISTLE School pupils

have gone right to the top to

ask for help from Mayor Sam

Broughton around motorists

speeding outside of the school.

The children decided to write

letters to the mayor as they felt

he may be able to help, principal

Bronwen Seaward said.

She said

they asked

if he knew

how they

could get

flashing

signs installed

like

Bronwen

Seaward

they have

noticed at

other schools

and about other solutions that

might help.”

Mr Broughton said it was

great to receive the letters from

the pupils.

“It shows that they care about

what’s going in the district and

are taking some initiative to not

just complain about something

but to actually do something

about it.”

Last week Mr Broughton and

councillor Bob Mugford visited

the school to hear from the

pupils.

“We listened to the students

concerns and the actions they

were looking at taking,” Mr

Broughton said.

“The road is a state highway

and controlled by the NZTA

so is not under the discretion

of our council. We said we can

help advocate to the NZTA for

improvements and invited them

to attend the next road safety

sub-committee meeting.”

Mrs Seaward said the pupils

think the speeding is because

a hedge along the road means

motorists don’t know there is a

school behind it.”

They also sought a quote for

installing metal fencing as the

children thought this would

make them look more like a

school.

The quote revealed the fence

would cost $18,000 plus GST

which is too expensive and just

not possible, she said.

“However, the school is

The Rolleston Welfare Drop-In

been open at 95 Rolleston Drive

since March.

WEED KILLER WARNING

Residents are being reminded not

to spray the banks of water races

with weed killer. A district council

spokesperson said there has been a

rise in the number of incidents of

blanket spraying recently. The soil

washing away leads to sediment in

the water race. This can block it,

which leads to increasing risk of

flooding and contaminants in the

water.

Councillors front up with quarry views

As the October local

body elections approach,

Devon Bolger asks

Environment Canterbury

candidates what their

views are on the

controversial planned

Fulton Hogan quarry

between Weedons and

Templeton

IN NOVEMBER Fulton Hogan

applied to ECan and the district

council to establish a quarry

between Curraghs, Dawsons,

Maddisons and Jones Rds.

There were 329 public

submissions against the plan

and a hearing is set to start on

November 18 in which a panel of

commissioners will determine

whether the quarry will go

ahead.

Allen Lim –

Ultimately the

decision is up

to the hearing

commissioners.

If it was up to

me, I would

certainly be

considering the

environmental

impact of the operation, as

well as the impact on the

neighbouring residents, in

terms of the number of truck

movements, the noise, vibration,

dust, and any health issues this

might cause local residents.

Then weighing all this up

against possible mitigations and

economic benefits.

What I can promise is that

I will always be open to ideas,

will hear people out, and in

every case, consider the social,

cultural, environmental and

economic values.

Ian

Mackenzie –

Simple answer

is I’m against

the siting of

this quarry.

The Weedons/

Templeton/

Rolleston area

has become an

area of high residential growth

and those residents come into

the area with expectations. That

would suggest industrial sites

in this area, such as quarries,

should be restricted to areas

zoned for such activities, like

the Rolleston Izone. It appears

planning hasn’t kept up with

the changing dynamics of the

district and this is in danger of

letting down both the residents

and Fulton Hogan.

•HAVE YOUR SAY: Are you for or against Fulton Hogan’s

proposed quarry between Weedons and Templeton?

Email your views to georgia.oconnor@starmedia.kiwi

APPLICATION: Fulton Hogan wants to establish a new quarry

between Curraghs, Dawsons, Maddisons and Jones Rds.

People and businesses want

certainty. As ratepayers, we don’t

want long-running expensive

hearings and litigation. We

lose because we fund it, we

lose because the cost of doing

business goes up, and we lose

because the outcomes are

uncertain. That’s not good for

anyone.

Sarah Walters – I am

concerned that the current

planning rules don’t allow

for sufficient setback or

consideration

of the negative

impacts,

particularly on

an established

urban area. The

controls for

these activities

are set down in

the Regional Policy Statement,

so it is in setting these guidelines

that councillors and other

parties have the opportunity

to decide what is important.

The RPS is a key document,

which covers what activities

are allowed and what factors

should be considered, and is

due to be reviewed during the

next council term. Councillors’

views can vary widely in these

areas. Unfortunately, there is

no opportunity for individual

councillors to influence

outcomes of the commissioners

hearing on the quarry.

John Sunckell – What I

can promise and have some

influence over is that if the

quarry is consented, I will ensure

that all consent conditions and

mitigations are met.

ECan uses independent

hearing

commissioners

to hear consent

applications

made under

the Resource

Management

Act.

As a councillor

I have no ability

to influence the decisionmaking

process and therefore

my support or otherwise of the

Roydon Quarry is irrelevant.

Those who oppose the proposed

Roydon Quarry may not like

my answer but those are the

constraints within which we

work.

Temporary solution failing

•From page 1

The community

committee has told the

district council it felt the

temporary solution is

failing and ratepayers’

money was being wasted

with substandard work.

Springs Ward councillor

Grant Miller supports the

community committee’s

plea.

•HAVE YOUR SAY:

Are you fed-up with

continual repairs

on Gerald St? Email

your views to devon.

bolger@starmedia.kiwi

“There must come a time

where it’s more economical

to put the finished product

in place rather than repair,”

Cr Miller said.

“The reality is in the

meantime ratepayers are

having to deal with quite

a difficult road that keeps

getting worse.”

Community committee

chairwoman Kathryn

Claridge wouldn’t discuss

the matter with the Selwyn

Times, because the group

was in dialogue with the

district council.

The community committee

is going back to the

district council to express

its continued concern

about the issue.

District council transportation

team leader Mark

Chamberlain told Selwyn

Times said Gerald St would

be maintained in the most

prudent manner until the

scheduled relaying.

ONGOING: Issues with

the road foundation are

causing potholes and

cracking on Lincoln’s

Gerald St.

But Cr Miller said he

remains unconvinced that

strategy is going to work.

“I have advocated with

the staff that we think the

best thing to do is to bring

forward the rehabilitation

of the whole road and to

stop wasting ratepayer

money on repairs,” he said.

“The soil conditions

under the road just aren’t

able to handle the level of

traffic that’s going on it

now and it’s only going to

get worse.”

Comedy show

performer not for the faint-hearted

• By Devon Bolger

A KIWI comedian making

waves in America will perform

at the International Comedy

Festival in Lincoln next month.

Jarred Fell is currently

competing on NBC’s Bring

The Funny TV show and will

perform in the semi-finals next

week.

Festival organiser David Parlane

said Fell isn’t for the fainthearted

but is an outstanding

performer through and through.

“He’ll have you scratching

your head about what he just did

on stage and you’ll be in hysterics

at the same time.”

The comedy show will also

feature Dai Henwood as the

headlining act.

Up-and-coming acts will

perform alongside Henwood,

including NZ Comedy Guild

newcomer and award-winning

Irish comic Alan McElroy and

Billy T Award nominee Donna

Brookbanks.

Mr Parlane said it is one of the

best line-ups in international

comedy.

“Heading into our fourth year

I believe the performers this

time around are truly outstanding.

It just gets better and better

each year.”

Preparations for the show are

going wonderfully and everyone

involved is excited for the big

night, Mr Parlane said.

“We’ve got a good team

behind us and everything is on

track to be a great night.”

The tags are about the size

of a thumb and will provide

accurate records of what type

and how many bins each property

Young myth busters: Cracking the

Conspiracy theories,

fake news, true or false?

These are the questions

a class of Rolleston

College students are

pondering over. Sophie

Cornish reports

THERE IS a big difference

between convincing your teacher

the dog ate your homework and

persuading them the earth is flat.

What about debating with your

school principal that the country

of Australia doesn’t actually exist?

Highly unlikely.

But for a group of Rolleston

College students, believing the

impossible could actually be possible

is what is helping them gain

their NCEA qualifications.

This year, a group of 50 students

have delved deep into the

most mind-bending theories

known to man and been forced

to argue they contain truths.

The debating assessment,

where students were given a

conspiracy to argue for or against

is part of the school’s intriguing

new class – conspiracy.

Students are taught to critically

think and question what they

read with a discerning eye, all

while gaining both literacy and

science NCEA credits.

In an age of ‘fake news’ and

unlimited information at their

fingertips, three students, Samuel

Pearson, Joy Su and Ethan

Richards-White, say the class

has prompted new discussions in

their lives and taught them how

to question fact from fiction.

The most widely-debated theories

are covered including 9/11,

the moon landing, Illuminati and

the earth being flat.

However, more modern, controversial

and eye-brow raising

discussions also take place in the

classroom.

Do vaccines cause autism? Has

the cure for cancer already been

discovered? Does eating meat

cause cancer?

Split into two components,

the literacy course and will

soon move into the science

assessments.

For literacy, students were

required to create a visual text

which reflected the conflicting

views of a conspiracy.

For Samuel, he showed the contrasting

belief that secret group,

Illuminati, is the higher controller

of the our existence, while Joy

and Ethan debated the theory of

aliens, whether they control us or

are living in the highly-classified,

Area 51.

Along with this, a publicspeaking

assessment saw the class

be divided into groups and given

a topic and viewpoint, which they

were required to debate, all while

being judged by their principal,

Steve Saville.

At first, Joy seemed disappointed

she was given the task

of arguing that vaccines cause

autism.

But, delving into medical

research for the debate made her

realise she may consider medicine

as a career path in future.

“Trying to understand every

medical term was hard. It has

made me more curious about

medicine. It (the class) helps you

to see what your interests are,”

she said.

conspiracy theories

Ethan admitted he got a little

bit sceptical with his debate topic.

“I did the earth is flat, on the affirmative

side. Actually, we won.

Mainly because I bombarded

them with a lot of facts . . . I got

a little bit convinced that the

earth was flat for a bit there,

mainly because I dived deep into

the Flat Earth Society and stuff

and I was like ‘hold on’ . . . but no

. . . I believe that it is round, but

somehow we won that debate,”

he said.

After discussing conspiracies

with his dad, Samuel thought he

would choose the class, to put

GREAT CONSPIRACY THEORIES

1. Illuminati controlling

the world – This conspiracy

proposes a secret group called

Illuminati has been controlling

the world and is looking to create

a one world government. Their

end goal is supposedly to create

the New World Order, which will

dissolve national boundaries

and people’s identities, while

allowing for total authoritarian

control. It is alleged several

politicians and celebrities are in

the group, including Beyonce,

Jay-Z and Madonna.

2. The moon landing was

a cover-up – Fifty years on,

the hoax theory still exists.

Some people believe the

significant scientific and political

achievement did not happen

and that its appearance was

orchestrated by NASA and the

United States Government. The

motive, as part of the Cold War,

was allegedly done to raise

national pride and one-up their

arch-rival, the Soviet Union, and

win the Space Race. The most

common theory which leads

people to believe it was fake

was photos from the mission

which show a flag moving in the

wind, something that should not

happen as there is no wind in

space.

3. Who killed JFK? – The

an interesting spin on learning

literacy.

“I was looking at something

different; I thought it would be

an interesting thing to look into.

It was things I was in to, writing,

reading, researching, as well as

the science part of it.

“Now, when I see an article

about someone who believes in a

conspiracy theory, because of this

class, you can see that perspective

more. You realise they aren’t just

being funny or seeking attention,

they actually believe this kind of

stuff and you can see if from their

point of view,” he said.

assassination of American

president, John F Kennedy –

A large national survey in the

United States in 2013 found 51 per

cent of Americans believe there

was a conspiracy behind the

killing of JFK during a motorcade

in Dallas in 1962. The shooter,

Lee Harvey Oswald, got the

official blame. However, theories

believe other parties such as the

CIA, KGB or the Mafia, may have

played a role. Other theories

suggest there was more than

one gunman and that more shots

were fired than officially claimed.

Possible motives include the

Bay of Pigs invasion, a failed US

military invasion of Cuba by the

CIA or that his death was at the

request of vice-president, Lyndon

Johnson.

4. Was 9/11 an inside job? –

The terror attack on September

11, 2001, caused one of the most

popular and widely-discussed

conspiracy theories. Multiple

theories of the event have been

discussed, mainly implicating

the United States’ Government

as causing the attacks in order

to blame al-Qaeda and start war

with Iraq. Theories claim jet fuel

from the planes could not melt

the steel beams of the World

Trade Centre towers, which

they believe were actually

brought down by a controlled

demolition.

5. The elusive Area 51 –

Conspiracy theorists

believe that the remains of

crashed UFO space crafts

are stored at Area 51. The

highly-classified mysterious

Air Force base in Nevada, is

where Government scientists

allegedly reverse-engineer the

aliens’ advanced technology.

The theories have come

from a variety of supposed

UFO sightings in the area and

testimony from a retired army

colonel, who says he was

given access to extra-terrestrial

materials gathered from an

alien spacecraft that crashed in

Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947.

Some believe the Government

studies time travel at Area 51,

also known as Groom Lake or

Dreamland.

Rock solid way to bring community together

• By Devon Bolger

AN INITIATIVE to bring the

community together through

painting and finding rocks is

sweeping through the district.

Selwyn Rocks was started by

the Selwyn Lions Club as a way

to generate community spirit.

Lions club member Kathy

Dore said they have had a great

response from the community

since launching the initiative

earlier this year.

“Especially as certain parks

like Prebbleton become more

popular for rock hunting. Then

people upload precious photos of

young kids with massive smiles

on their faces holding a painted

rock as if it was the most amazing

thing they have ever seen.”

Taking part in the Selwyn

Rocks initiative is simple, Mrs

Dore said.

“Just paint something inspiring

or cheerful on a rock and leave it

for someone to find. Then upload

a photo of it to our Facebook

rock page stating the area it is in

so people know and wait and see

what journey it takes.”

“Some of mine have even

gone overseas. There is actually

one on the top of a mountain in

Germany right now.”

Canterbury’s fastest selling

new subdivision

CREATIVE: Selwyn Lions Club president Helen Allison with

her grandaughter Sarah (left) and club member Kathy Dore’s

daughter Stacey paint rocks to hide.

The Facebook page currently

has 250 active members who

post daily about finding and

hiding rocks around the district.

Mrs Dore said she was introduced

to rock painting by a

friend just over a year ago while

holidaying in Hanmer Springs.

“I loved it so much that I went

home and I haven’t stopped

DECORATIVE: Fifty painted

rocks were found in

Rolleston’s Parekura Reserve

as part of an initiative to bring

the community together.

painting rocks since. I probably

paint for about three to four

weeks with my daughter.”

Her only hope for the initiative

is that it brings the community

together, Mrs Dore said.

“No matter your skill level at

painting I hope it gives pleasure

from the simple act of sharing

some love and kindness. For

those who find a rock, maybe it

gives them a boost and makes

their day better.”

page for details about the next

community rock painting event

in October.

about the

new club

We’re a new

club and want

to do things in a new and fun

way.

If you come along to one of

our meetings you won’t find a

room full of white-haired men

discussing the finer points of

golf, but rather a delightful blend

of multi-generational people

wanting to be involved in the

community and enhance the lives

of our local people.

We’re business owners, wage

earners, parents and volunteers

from all walks of life.

We understand that time is

precious, which is why we meet

just once a fortnight and will have

flexible joining options like family

memberships rather than just

individual ones.

What do you think Rolleston

needs? Do you want to be

involved in making a difference?

We have a few projects in the

works already but our main focus

right now is growing our club.

Why not come to a meeting and

see what it’s all about?

There’s no obligation to join

and our members provide delicious

baking and even a glass of

wine.

You’ll meet a whole range of

new people and be part of an

organisation that has over a

Food, family and words

I WAS WRONG last week, so I’d

best correct myself.

The church in Laura’s home

village of Pravisdomini is about

1000 years old, rather than 600,

and was built some time after

Attila the Hun and his band of

merry men “toured” an ageing

Roman Empire.

Apparently there’s also a whole

mess of the bones of Vittoria’s

ancestors a metre or so under the

church lawn too.

Vittoria’s been living the high

life this last week.

After recovering from the side

effects of antibiotics, she’s been

accompanying us on a fairly busy

circuit of friends, family, nearby

towns and villages.

She’s been cuddled near to

death by the older rellies, having

a blast with the younger family

members and running amok

with the kids of our friends who

are of a similar age.

The exercise is key with an appetite

like hers. We always knew

Vittoria was a good wee eater, but

she’s honestly eating almost as

much as us adults.

It’s so great to see after she

was off her food the first week,

however, I doubt any of us will be

coming back any lighter.

The big meals have been put to

good use in fuelling an increase

you to “do this” or ask “what’s

this?” accompanied by furious

pointing. She’s also begun playing

with the words “rubbish” and

“finished”, although I’m still not

sure she’s got it yet. It just kind of

sounds like “ish” either way.

And it’s not just output that I’ve

noticed. With Italian (or the local

brand Venetian spoken by most

of Laura’s relatives) surrounding

her almost all day, every day, Vittoria

can now understand a few

phrases and respond accordingly.

I mean respond physically –

like she’ll probably wander over

if you ask her to in Italian – not

verbally.

She’s also starting to get into

the Italian childrens’ time frame,

which I’m not sure is exactly

ideal.

Up at 6.30am, a leisurely postlunch

nap at 2pm-ish and then

pushing the boundaries until

almost 10pm if she can get away

with it.

While I’m excited to try and

keep using as much Italian as

possible when we return home,

I think I might see about leaving

the timetable behind.

Season of growth capped off with title

are lucky that my seniors are

sprinkled out throughout the

court,” said Roberts.

At 15-15 with one quarter

to go in the final, Ellesmere

produced a dominant final

quarter to win the competition

for the first time.

“I asked at the final break if

they wanted it and they said

decision was made to not play

on Saturday instead of moving

games to the West Melton

Community Centre.

The decision also means all

grades could now finish the

season at the same time after

lower-grade games played

outdoors were called off two

weeks ago due to wet weather.

they did and that they were

going to look after the ball and

work hard for each other, and

that’s what happened.”

Ellesmere then scored nine

goals in the final quarter to

pull away.

Their next focus will be

to try and remain in the top

grade of the South Island

secondary schools netball

Ms James said the decision to

move the premier schedule in

line with the lower grades was

passed on in an email to clubs

on August 13 and had more to

do with logistics, particularly

umpiring resources, than

saving money by not using the

West Melton venue.

Outstanding service recognised at

Malvern Community Awards

The recipients of the Malvern Community Board Community Service Awards 2019, from left to right, back row:

Samuel Ireland, Mike Davies, Carol Gurney, Craig Moody, Errol Ashby and Malvern Community Board Chair Jenny Gallagher.

Front row: Bailey Inwood, Daisy Prosser, Rebecca Inch and Jenny Walter.

Long service and new was recognised at the Malvern Community Awards. Ten people received

awards for their service to the community at the ceremony in Darfield on Friday night.

A group of five St John youth received the inaugural Youth Community Service award. Rebecca

Inch, Samuel Ireland, Daisy Prosser, Bailey Inwood and Jenny Walter were recognised for

completing their St John Senior Shield Badge which includes doing over 100 hours of volunteering.

The group also won five categories at this year’s St John Mid Canterbury Youth Competition.

Five Community Service Awards were also given to long-standing volunteers Mike Davies, Reg

Anderson, Craig Moody, Carol Gurney and Errol Ashby.

Mr Davies was recognised for his volunteer work as a Civil Defence first responder looking after

neighbours in Hororata following the earthquakes and helping protect houses from flooding, along

with looking after the Hororata Domain and church grounds at his own expense and managing car

parking at big community events including the Hororata Night Glow.

A Justice of the Peace and 23-year member of the Glentunnel Township Committee, Mr Anderson

was noted as a strong, community-minded man always willing to get involved and support others.

Mr Moody received his award for his active, practical involvement in many different community

groups including the Glentunnel Community Centre Committee, Coalgate Township Committee,

Glentunnel Reserve Committee, Glentunnel Indoor Bowls and Glentunnel Museum.

Mrs Gurney was recognised for her efforts as a willing volunteer at many community events and

for setting up the second-hand clothing stall ‘Carol’s Closet’, which raises money for the Hororata

Anglican Parish.

Mr Ashby received his award for his work as founding chairman of the Malvern Community Patrol,

a member of the Malvern Community Vehicle Trust and a Red Cross Meals on Wheels volunteer.

Hundreds helped to prevent family violence

More than 150 teachers have taken part in workshops to help prevent family harm in Selwyn.

The workshops in Rolleston and Darfield were organised by the new Selwyn Safer Families group—

made up of organisations committed to preventing family harm in the district.

Selwyn Safer Families is a sub-group of the Council’s Wellbeing Forum, which brings together social

and health service providers in the district.

The workshops saw 170 school teachers learn the skills of recognise, response and referral for

identifying and addressing harm in our community, Celine Donovan, a victim specialist from Battered

Women’s Refuge, says.

“We covered the dynamics of family violence, because it’s not always visible and there’s a lot of myths

around it. We covered how to recognise it, respond, and how do you get help for the victims and for

people who are being violent – what help there is out there.”

The group is exploring what the specific needs in Selwyn are, and education is a key part of its focus on

preventing family violence. The workshops were a first step to see how interested the community is and

they were blown away by the response, she says.

West Rolleston School Deputy Principal Amanda Clarkson attended the Rolleston workshop and says it

was an eye-opener and very positive and helpful.

“It was really informative. It’s good for us to have learnt what to be looking out for, realising the little

things. The big thing was knowing there is going to be support from police out here in Selwyn that we

can access and they can come and work with our teachers.”

Selwyn Safer Families came about from a discussion between Police and Council. Council Community

Services and Facilities group manager Denise Kidd says Council was delighted by the response to the

workshops and the support being offered by police and the Selwyn Safer Families group.

“Selwyn is a better place when we have a strong community that looks after each other. The work of

Selwyn Safer Families is an important way to make that happen and it’s fantastic to see the community

embracing that.”

Council begins project to tag bins

Council will begin its roll out of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)

tags for rubbish, recycling and organics bins in the coming weeks.

The stocktake and tagging of the district’s 51,000 bins will begin in

September and is expected to take six to eight months to complete.

It will see addresses checked for all bins and an RFID tag about

the size of a thumb tip fitted to each bin. The tag is automatically

scanned each time the bin is collected.

“The project will allow the Council to easily maintain accurate

records of the numbers and types of bins at each property instead

of relying soley on labels and serial numbers. This means database

accuracy is maintained remotely, allowing for a more efficient

service and to ensure fair charging for all,” Council solid waste

manager Andrew Boyd says.

People will be informed by letterbox flyer, and text message if mobile

numbers are on file, when the stocktake team is in their area. You will

be asked to make sure your address is visible on the label on the side

of their bins or to write it on the lid.

While the tagging crew is in the area, bins will need to be left out

until 6pm on your collection day. This is because the tagging crew

are operating separately to the collection truck. A small round

yellow sticker will be applied to the side of each bin once the tag

has been fitted.

If the stocktake shows that someone has a bin that wasn’t originally

allocated to their property they will be given the option to keep the

bin and pay for it, or for the Council to remove it, Mr Boyd says.

“It’s a clean slate so we won’t be charging people for bins that have

not been in our system previously. But in the future once all the tags

are on, only bins tagged to your property will be collected.”

Leading Learners

New drivers in the district are being offered the opportunity to

upskill with a half-day, practical course to gain valuable safety skills.

The leading learners course, for drivers with a learner licence, sees

professional driving instructors take the teens on a series of activities

on a track. These include driver distraction, emergency braking, skid

avoidance and driving on different road surfaces. Attendees also

complete a one hour driving session on the road with a professional

instructor. The on-road session will allow the instructor to assess

where the teen is at and what they need to work on.

Council road safety coordinator Pete Daly says the $20 course is a

great opportunity for young people in Selwyn.

“It’s an experience that you couldn’t normally get, with great

professional instructors and for just $20.”

Drivers must be accompanied by a parent or caregiver for the

course and Mr Daly says it’s a good day for the adults too, who are

fully involved in the day.

“We’ve found it actually benefits the parent or caregiver almost as

much as the learner driver because they’re being reminded of things

or learning new things.”

Leading Learners will run on Saturday 21 and Sunday 22

September, 8am–1.30pm. For more informaiton or to register visit

Southbridge Shield returns to Ellesmere

SPORT

REACH: Ellesmere lock

the ball.

Right – Winger James

Wilkins makes a break.

• By Jacob Page

THE SOUTHBRIDGE Shield is

on the move again.

A calm, calculated approach

helped Ellesmere regain the

shield with a 41-28 win over

North Canterbury at Loburn on

Saturday.

Team manager Michael Sheat

said in spite of only leading

by a point with 10min to play,

confidence was high on and off

the field.

“We were all pretty calm on

the sidelines and the guys on

the field knew what to do and

executed well under pressure,”

he said.

Ellesmere eventually

wore down a spirited

North Canterbury side to

ensure the shield changed

hands for the third

successive year.

North Canterbury won

the shield in Prebbleton 12

months ago.

Ellesmere had a 17-14 lead

at half-time but conceded a

try moments after the restart.

However, a Sam Cottam try from

a driving maul put the visitors in

front for good.

Ellesmere out-scored North

Canterbury six tries to four,

while Shannon Donald added

four conversions and a penalty.

A key moment came when

Ellesmere lock Issy Fine was

yellow-carded before half-time.

“I think we just got on with

it and our forwards were still

pushing their scrum back with

seven players,” Sheat said.

Ellesmere did not

concede a point during

that period and it set them

up for the second half.

“Obviously we got a

couple of late tries with

passes finally sticking,

which was good.

“I don’t think we

finished as many of our

chances as we could have but you

had to give credit to the North

Canterbury defence.

“They never gave up and made

us work hard for it,” Sheat said.

He said there was “speculation”

around several players

potentially retiring after the

game, but he said it would be a

case of wait and see if the talk

held up next season.

MY PRIDE AND JOY

SELWYN TIMES

Touring on a small bike

Two locals, two small motorcycles and one big

adventure! This is how Simon Dellis and Vicki Taylor

describe their trip along the Trans America Trail,

creating a YouTube series under the name Kiwi Grom

as a living photo album for friends and others to enjoy.

Simon and Vicki have only been riding for three

years. They imported two 125cc Honda Grom small

motorcycles from Australia, modifying them so they

were more comfortable and easier to ride off-road.

Designed for around town use, Vicki says the bikes

are easy to ride so ideal for inexperienced riders.

“Hondas are renowned for their reliability and the

Groms not your typical bike.

They’re small, accessible, not

intimidating and a lot of fun as

long as you don’t overload them.

You need to be careful and take it

slower, which gives you a chance to

enjoy the scenery,” explains Simon.

They have been on a few trips

around the South Island, camping

and exploring.

“There are lots of good offroad

adventure trails, especially

in Otago,” adds Simon who used

the website, RemoteMoto.com

for maps and information about

accessibility and grading of tracks.

Their next adventure involved

taking the bikes to the United

States, to follow the Trans America

trail from New York to Port Orford

in Oregon, a trail which has been

a favourite with motorcyclists for

around 30 years. It took Vicki and

Simon 45 days to complete 11,397

kilometres.

“It’s was a lot of fun. We have

little intercoms on our helmets so we can talk to each

other while riding. We camp as much as possible

though sometimes look for a comfortable bed and

hot shower at the end of the day,” says Vicki.

It took Vicki and Simon 45 days

to complete 11,397 kilometres.

“Sometimes it’s whatever is available wherever we

end up,” adds Simon.

Simon sourced the Trans America route details

from Sam Corerro in the United

States, who created the trail. Sam

selects and sells GPS and paper

options for suitable tracks, much

of which is off-road linked with

back roads. The actual track

changes every year depending on

which areas are open. There were

times when a road was closed due

to a wash-out or forest fire but

Simon says part of the adventure

is figuring a way round.

Simon and Vicki are now

thinking about their next

overseas adventure and musing

with the idea of touring around

Japan.

“Japan is not well known for

off-road motorcycling so we’re

keen to explore the country and

see what experiences we can

create. We’re also planning to

ride from the top of the North

Island to the tip of the South

Island, as much off-road as we

can,” suggests Simon.

New structural repair centre in Rolleston

Holland’s new structural repair facility.

The new facility is fully equipped.

Damage incurred in a serious accident

can impair a vehicle’s structural integrity,

leaving it not roadworthy and unsafe.

Any structural repairs to a vehicle should

be carried out by fully qualified panel

beaters using the right equipment to ensure

structural integrity is restored.

Just opened at Holland Collision Centre,

is a new and spacious 528sqm structural

repair centre. Cameron Holland has not

spared any expense in equipping the new

facility with the right equipment so the

safety and integrity is returned to every

vehicle worked on.

The new structural repair facility is

located across the road from Holland

Collision Centre’s existing premises,

allowing the structural and non-structural

repair work to be separated. Smaller two

and three day jobs will still be undertaken

within the main premises on the west side

of Jones Road, while the new purpose built

facility will specialise in structural repairs.

“The team in the new centre are all fully

qualified and experienced panel beaters,

holding the ICAR Welding Qualification,”

advises Cameron.

Holland Collision Centre is officially

recognised by all insurance companies, and

all vehicles repaired come with a lifetime

guarantee.

“You are entitled to choose your own

repairer and will want to select a collision

centre with the right equipment to bring

back the safety and integrity to your

vehicle,” advises Cameron.

The new structural repair centre will

ensure a top rate job and quick turnaround,

assisted by the facilities across the road

where there is a state of the art painting

booth. Waterborne non-toxic paints are

used with the paint quickly heater blowdried

for a smooth sharper factory finish.

Along with the new structural repair

centre, there are now 14 cars available

from Holland Collision Centre’s loan fleet.

You will now be able to drop your car off

for repairs, assured you will have a vehicle

while yours is being worked on.

Holland Collision Centre looks after fleet

work; trucks; sandblasting and finishing

of farm machinery; horse floats; trailers;

and other small to large vehicles. They also

do air conditioning re-gassing and plastic

RETURN: The Ellesmere Colts regained the Munro Shield

with a 15-5 win over North Canterbury.

Dominant Ellesmere take

back the Munro Shield

• Jacob Page

THE ELLESMERE colts have

regained the Munro Shield

after a 15-5 win over North

Canterbury at Loburn on

Saturday.

Team manager Dave Beatty

said they were keen to throw

the ball around and create

opportunities while playing on

a dry track for the first time in

the four-week campaign.

“I’m not sure what the stats

were, but we must have had

70 per cent of the ball and we

certainly wanted to make the

most of the conditions.”

Beatty said the platform was

laid with their dominance at

set-piece time.

“We certainly had the better

GARDENING

ALTHOUGH HINTS of spring

are occurring regularly, late frosts

can still occur and cold winds are

often a feature of September.

Even though it may feel

warmer, soil temperatures rise at

a slower rate than air temperatures.

It’s time for final preparation of

your vege garden before planting

starts in earnest in October. If

the soil is still wet, delay digging

as there is no advantage working

with very wet soil.

Plant out veges that can withstand

late cold conditions while

still maturing in the warmer

a cliché but it helped us play the

way we wanted to.

“The boys wanted to show

what we could do and, as the

confidence grew, they threw

50/50 passes and that certainly

contributed to us feeling like we

left a few points out there.”

Beatty praised the looseforwards,

saying both the

starters and reserves who

came on late in the game made

strong contributions. He also

gave credit to second-five Sam

Schmack for his defensive effort.

compost then apply rose and

flower fertiliser in early October.

Bulbs are blooming and adding

fragrance and colour to the

left in the ground to naturalise in

permanent positions so don’t lift

them.

Winter flowering trees and

shrubs will be nearing the end of

their flowering period so it’s time

for remedial pruning before the

new seasons growth begins.

Prune to establish a natural

you may wish to prune to maintain

trees at a smaller size.

Apply a copper fungicide as

a preventer to summer fungal

diseases on berry fruit including

raspberries, boysenberries, blackcurrants

and gooseberries,

As the soil temperatures rise,

this is an ideal time to sow a new

any permanently wet areas

before sowing. Leave fertilising

your lawn until late September/

Klezmer music with The Kugels -

wild, spirited and haunting

Malvern residents have a unique

opportunity to enjoy three top

musicians and a celebrated composer

have joined together in their love of

klezmer, the feisty 19th century folk

music of the Jewish people. The Kugels

will perform at Trinity Church Darfield

on Thursday, 29 August.

Robin Perks, Debbie Rawson and

Jacqueline Nordon, former members of

the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra,

and composer/New Zealand Arts

Laureate Ross Harris were a great hit

when they toured with AOTNZ in 2016.

Now they’re back again with music that

makes you want to dance.

The programme features the original

Klezmer compositions of accordionist/

NZ Arts Laureate Ross Harris,

interspersed with music from the

traditional repertory – originally played

at weddings and other celebrations in

Eastern and Central Europe.

Featuring the highly expressive sound

of violin, clarinet, accordion and bass,

laced with the multi-talented reeds of

Debbie Rawson on soprano sax, clarinet,

bass clarinet and the Maui Xaphoon, The

Kugels bring these exciting and evocative

songs to the stage, together with an

informative and engaging commentary.

The Kugels will share their passion and

skill for this music at Trinity Church

Darfield on Thursday, 29 August at

7.00pm. Tickets — $20/adult and $10/

student — are available at the Selwyn

Gallery or at the door.

Mobile dog grooming

a popular choice

Jim’s Dog Wash is a professional company

committed to offering New Zealanders

a mobile dog grooming service tailored

to satisfy all your dog’s needs. Instantly

recognisable by their iconic red doggie

salons, Jim’s Dog Wash stand behind the

fidelity of their brand. The company’s

operators are dedicated groomers with a

deep love and respect for dogs and have a

passion for the industry.

There has been exciting growth of

the business due to popularity of the

service they offer with new franchisees in

Christchurch, Rangiora, Kaiapoi and two

in Selwyn in the last 18 months.

“Selwyn is such a community-oriented

district; the support of dog owners has been

amazing,” says Regional Franchisor Jill

Smolenski. “It is early days! We currently

have more franchises for sale. People will

do amazingly well by buying into the

business now.”

Being a franchisee opens a world of

opportunities with an extensive network

of support at your fingertips, sharing

knowledge both as groomers and business

owners. Jim’s Group provide all the

equipment and uniforms. They offer

franchisees training in both business

and dog grooming. Franchisees are

carefully selected and trained by

some of New Zealand’s best

dog grooming instructors. As

soon as they have done their

training they are ready to hit

the road.

Jim’s operators offer

customers the convenience

of travelling to their home

while still offering the same

high standard of grooming

found in a grooming clinic. “The fact that

we come to you is a key to the success of

our business as it takes the pressure off

taking and picking up dogs from groomers.

The dogs are more relaxed in their own

environment,” says Jill. “One of the things I

love the most is getting to know dog owners

on a more personal level. It’s like turning

up at your friend’s home to groom their

dog.” Owners don’t even have to be there.

You can get home after a long day to find a

perfectly groomed dog waiting for you.

Jim’s Dog Wash operator’s core values

are conducting themselves with integrity,

providing an exceptional service, empathic

care and lots of cuddles; leaving your best

friend looking their gorgeous doggie best.

SELWYN TIMES

Selwyn’s progress in

the last three years

Kia ora,

I love serving our community and am

excited to continue to lead as our

Mayor.

My wife Liz and I live in Darfield with

our 2 year old daughter Elliott.

Selwyn continues to grow and

develop, as does our community’s

expectations on council.

Our growing diversity and

perspectives can help ensure we

honour our heritage, remain focused

on meeting the needs of today and

plan wisely for our future.

Council governs $1.6 billion of assets

and has income of $140 million. This

requires us to choose a Council with a

broad range of skills.

In my first three years, on top of

council’s usual work, we have made

major investments in community

infrastructure, completed earthquake

works, and overhauled our

consultation process to focus on

talking with you on the street, rather

than talking at you in meetings.

I appreciate your continued support

this election.

Sam

After years of people

talking about what Selwyn

needed, we have spent the

last three delivering on

those discussions.

The Health Hub, Rolleston Town centre

and Te Ara Atea, the Indoor Courts, Local

Community Centres new build and repair as

well as a change in consultation methods has

meant we are now on track to catch up.

Partnering with central government

We have a leadership position in and for

the South Island into Wellington - if reelected

I will look to chair the group of local

councils from the top of the South Island to

ensure Selwyn’s experience and success are

well known at a national level. Selwyn is the

third largest population in the South Island

after Christchurch and Dunedin, a key fact in

delivering for current residents and planning

for our future.

I will continue to push for more decisionmaking

powers to be afforded local councils.

Too often, our central government provides

irrelevant, Auckland-centric solutions to local

issues. Local NZTA funding, immigration

settings, and water infrastructure control will

be three areas I will continue to advocate for.

Partnering with Government has seen many

new schools and classrooms in Selwyn, thanks

to the Ministry of Education.

DOC have upgraded many tracks and we are

working closely around responsible camping.

Our work together in conjunction with Ecan,

Ngāi Tahu and many community groups to

improve water quality and biodiversity at Te

Waihora Lake Ellesmere has attracted millions

of central government dollars to our district.

NZTA is another key government department

partner. We continue to work together on many

projects from State Highway and motorway

completion through to local road safety

improvements and cycleways.

Growth and employment in Selwyn

We are the fastest growing district in New

Zealand and our new diversity provides

numerous firsts for the area. Growth means

we have or are building facilities in our district

that we wouldn’t have had the opportunity to

enjoy, had we remained small.

This growth also means new career

opportunities. Success for young people

growing up in Selwyn used to often mean

leaving the district, but our young people are

now able to stay or return and find employment

in industries for which they have trained.

Selwyn is a destination of choice for young

families. Our 2% unemployment - half the

national average - means plenty of work

opportunities, although finding the right staff

can be difficult for expanding businesses.

Ensuring a range of housing options is

important for our future. One area of need is the

provision of appropriate housing for our elderly,

for whom a 4 bedroom home is not the right fit.

Relationships with Tangata Whenua

I’m proud of the continually developing

relationship with Te Taumutu runanga over

the past three years. We held our citizenship

ceremony on Waitangi Day there, our executive

teams meet together regularly, we have a

council waiata, and Te Reo lessons have been

offered to staff. Having Te Taumutu and Ngai

Tūāhuriri on our District Plan review Committee

has meant we now have a more robust draft

document ready for notification next year.

Water management

The work of our Water Zone committee

continues to lead the way for Canterbury.

3rd

largest

population

in the

South Island

The Near River Recharge project to bring Central

Plains water into the Selwyn riverbed during dry

winters is now under construction and will help

support summer flows of lowland streams.

Tourism

I’m looking for us to capatilise on our

natural beauty with tourism from which the

whole community can benefit - from more

job opportunities and great restaurants to

a vibrant, festive atmosphere. We need to

ensure this is done in a Selwyn way to avoid

the pitfalls of large tourist destinations

where visitors become a drain rather than

asset to those living there. We don’t need

more Freedom Camping, but instead focus on

higher-value visitors.

I am leading work on behalf of South Island

Mayors to create a South Island Destination

Management Strategy. Too often New Zealand

focuses solely on attracting more visitors. We

need to be smarter as an island and target

value rather than volume. Visitors to the South

Island don’t recognise boundaries between

districts so a more collaborative approach to

visitor management makes sense. This will

ensure we don’t overuse particular spots and

can share the benefits of visitors around more

of the island.

Infrastructure

We are making progress, but more work is

needed on our base infrastructure. Our roading

network needs attention. The inland ports

at Rolleston help remove trucks to Lyttelton

by putting freight on trains, but a growing

number of heavy vehicles on our local roads

are moving our premium produce to markets.

As few were built for such heavy loads,

these roads require additional funding for

maintenance and improvements.

Frequent, heavy rainfall events are resulting

in surface flooding in a number of low-lying

townships. The new stormwater bypass in

Leeston has helped the flooding situation there

and we need to ensure other towns now get the

same level of attention. Some minor works in

Hororata have been completed but a wider scope

and approach is required to solve things there.

We are currently working with Ecan on a

cohesive strategic approach to flooding in the

upper reaches of our rivers and tributaries -

currently the responsibility of individual land

owners, but with potentially better outcomes if

we were to work together.

Our council is open and serviced minded. To

reflect this I have focused on greatly improving

our communication and social media, including

our new Selwyn Response Team being trained and

ready to deploy in case of natural disaster or

civil defence emergencies and Selwyn Gets Ready

(have you signed up?).

We’ve managed to achieve a lot, but there

is still more to be done. I’m excited about

the coming three years, and look forward to

achieving more for our outstanding district.

The best kept secrets

to selling your home

Selling Secret #1: The first impression is the

only impression

No matter how good the interior of your home looks,

buyers have already judged your home before they walk

through the door. You never have a second chance to

make a first impression. It’s important to make people

feel warm, welcome and safe as they approach the

house. Spruce up your home’s exterior with inexpensive

shrubs and brightly colored flowers. Entry ways are also

important. You use it as a utility space for your coat and

keys. But, when you’re selling, make it welcoming by

putting in a small bench or a vase of fresh-cut flowers.

Selling Secret #2: Always be ready to show

Your house needs to be “show-ready” at all times – you

never know when your buyer is going to walk through

the door. You have to be available whenever they want to

come see the place and it has to be in tip-top shape. Don’t

leave dishes in the sink, keep the dishwasher cleaned out,

the bathrooms sparkling and make sure there are no dust

bunnies in the corners. It’s a little inconvenient, but it will

get your house sold.

Selling Secret #3: The kitchen comes first

You’re not actually selling your house, you’re selling

your kitchen – that’s how important it is. The benefits

of remodeling your kitchen are endless, and the best

part of it is that you’ll probably get 85% of your money

back. It may be a few thousand dollars to replace

countertops where a buyer may knock $10,000 off the

asking price if your kitchen looks dated. The fastest, most

inexpensive kitchen updates include painting and new

cabinet hardware. Use a neutral-color paint so you can

present buyers with a blank canvas where they can start

envisioning their own style. If you have a little money to

spend, buy one fancy stainless steel appliance. Why one?

Because when people see one high-end appliance they

think all the rest are expensive too and it updates the

kitchen.

Selling Secret #4: Take the home out of your

house

One of the most important things to do when selling

your house is to de-personalize it. The more personal

stuff in your house, the less potential buyers can imagine

themselves living there. Get rid of a third of your

stuff – put it in storage. This includes family photos,

memorabilia collections and personal keepsakes. Staging

simply means arranging your furniture to best showcase

the floor plan and maximize the use of space.

Selling Secret #5: Don’t over-upgrade

Quick fixes before selling always pay off. Mammoth

makeovers, not so much. You probably won’t get your

money back if you do a huge improvement project before

you put your house on the market. Instead, do updates

that will pay off and get you top dollar. Get a new fresh

coat of paint on the walls. Clean the curtains or go buy

some inexpensive new ones. Replace door handles,

cabinet hardware, make sure closet doors are on track, fix

leaky faucets and clean the grout.

Selling Secret #6: Conceal the critters

You might think a cuddly dog would warm the hearts

of potential buyers, but you’d be wrong. Not everybody

is a dog- or cat-lover. Buyers don’t want to walk in your

home and see a bowl full of dog food, smell the kitty litter

box or have tufts of pet hair stuck to their clothes. It will

give buyers the impression that your house is not clean.

If you’re planning an open home don’t leave your pets

around.

Selling Secret #7: Play the agent field

A secret sale killer is hiring the wrong real estate agent.

Make sure you have an agent who is totally informed.

They must constantly monitor the multiple listing service

(MLS), know what properties are going on the market

and know the comps in your neighborhood. Find an

agent who embraces technology – a tech-savvy one has

many tools to get your house sold.

Selling Secret #8: Light it up

Maximize the light in your home. After location, good

light is the one thing that every buyer cites that they want

in a home. Take down the drapes, clean the windows,

change the lampshades, increase the wattage of your light

bulbs and cut the bushes outside to let in sunshine. Do

what you have to do make your house bright and cheery

– it will make it more sellable.

Selling Secret #9: Half-empty closets

Storage is something every buyer is looking for and can

never have enough of. Take half the stuff out of your

closets then neatly organize what’s left in there. Buyers

will snoop, so be sure to keep all your closets and cabinets

clean and tidy.

Your guide to all things Real Estate

in the Selwyn District

Why get a property valuation?

Ascertaining the true value of a property

is never easy. Real estate agents may be

able to give buyers and sellers a guide,

based on the sales of similar properties

in an area. However, each individual

property is unique with some more so,

than others.

When applying for finance, a bank will

require more than a real estate agent’s

figure of what a property might be worth.

Instead, a written valuation compiled

by an independent Registered Property

Valuer will be requested.

Property valuations are more than

just a tool for acquiring a loan from a

bank. The process examines the features

of a particular property with a view to

identifying its true worth.

“Rather than a quick walk-through, a

Registered Property Valuer will conduct a

detailed inspection, taking measurements

and photos, and making field notes,”

explains Haki Anderson, Director

and Principal Valuer at Anderson and

Associates.

Haki emphasises the importance of

a physical examination. For example, a

property may be next to a railway line

or power lines so be worth less than one

with a stunning sea view however, people

can also help protect the value of their

asset simply by keeping up the regular

maintenance on their home.

“It’s important for owners and potential

buyers to have accurate information,

especially for insurance purposes. When

we value a property we take measurements

of the floor area and check their accuracy

against the property’s statistics,” advises

Haki who has been a Registered Property

Valuer since 1990.

The property’s specifications and

features are also assessed, including: the

construction and condition of the home;

landscaping; size and contour of the land;

and whether there is an outlook.

“They’ll analyse other properties in

the area that have been sold. This may

sometimes involve knocking on the front

door so a more accurate impression can be

gained of such a property,” says Haki.

Once collected, the data will be analysed

and comparisons made between the

property in question and property sales in

the immediate locality.

“The better the research, the more

accurate the valuation,” reminds Haki.

Registered Property Valuers are totally

independent. To become a Registered

Property Valuers, a person must first

complete a four year university degree

in property valuation and management.

After graduating, three years’ work

experience in the field is required, before

the Valuer can apply for Registration as a

Valuer.

“The client is paying for more

knowledge. Knowledge is power so the

more informed clients are, the better

decisions they can make about the biggest

asset they are likely to own and are about

to purchase.”
