Pubs gearing up to reopen<br />
District’s<br />
economy<br />
‘should<br />
pick up’<br />
PREPARED: Will Stock is ready to get The Famous Grouse taps pouring again.<br />
• By Devon Bolger<br />
BARS IN the district are<br />
gearing up to fully reopen from<br />
tomorrow.<br />
Many opened last week as<br />
restaurants and cafes as part of<br />
the Government’s alert level 2<br />
hospitality staggered start.<br />
But it is fairly much back to<br />
normal from tomorrow, a relief<br />
for those in the industry.<br />
Said Lincoln’s Famous<br />
Grouse Hotel manager Will<br />
Stock: “I think the community<br />
are excited to come and have<br />
a draft beer. We have had<br />
massive support from the<br />

district so far.”<br />
Crate and Barrel in Leeston<br />
owner Craig Bradford said<br />
they cannot wait to be serving<br />
patrons again.<br />

A MAJOR player in the district’s<br />
construction industry says he<br />
is confident the economy will<br />
bounce back from Covid-19.<br />
An initial report prepared by<br />
economic analysts Infometrics<br />
in April predicts the district’s<br />
economy could contract by 5.4<br />
per cent because of the effects of<br />
Covid-19.<br />
The report<br />
projects the 5.4 per<br />
cent contraction<br />
will occur over<br />
the year to March<br />
<strong>20</strong>21.<br />
The construction<br />
sector is likely to<br />
be the hardest hit,<br />
which could see a<br />
reduction of 27 per cent,<br />
Russell<br />
Lilley<br />
while accommodation and food<br />
services could reduce by 22 per<br />
cent.<br />
Russell Lilley, owner of Russell<br />
Lilley Construction, which helped<br />
to build Rolleston Square said the<br />
figures surprise him.<br />
“I didn’t think construction<br />
would be hit as hard as hospitality<br />
and accommodation.<br />

Why bars and hotels<br />

Quarry appeal period extended<br />
• By Devon Bolger<br />
AN OPPONENT of the<br />
controversial quarry near<br />
Weedons has managed to have<br />
the time to appeal against it<br />
extended.<br />
Fulton Hogan was last month<br />
given permission to develop the<br />
170ha quarry between Dawsons,<br />
Jones, Maddisons and Curraghs<br />
Rds.<br />
But a resident who lives near<br />
where the quarry will go has<br />
successfully applied to the<br />
Environment Court to have the<br />
appeal deadline extended to<br />
June 29 because of the impact of<br />
Covid-19.<br />
The appeal time limit had<br />
originally been scheduled to<br />
expire on Monday.<br />
The resident, who didn’t want to<br />
be named, told the <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong><br />
he plans to use his own money<br />
and seek donations from the community<br />
to fund the appeal.<br />
BATTLE: Submitters will now be able to appeal the decision<br />
to allow the Roydon Quarry near Templeton to go ahead until<br />
June 29. <br />
Individuals or groups who<br />
made submissions during the<br />
resource consent process are<br />
able to appeal the decision.<br />
Residents in the area are<br />
gravely concerned about<br />
the health, noise, and environmental<br />
impacts the developments<br />
will bring.<br />
The quarry could open in<br />
<strong>20</strong>22, producing more than half<br />
a million tonnes of gravel a year<br />
over the next 40 years.<br />
Environment Canterbury<br />
received 329 public submissions<br />
against the proposed quarry out<br />
of a total of 430.<br />
The submissions came from<br />
a wide scope of residents and<br />
businesses.<br />
Meanwhile, the Christchurch<br />
City Council, which submitted<br />
against the quarry, has decided<br />
not to pursue an appeal.<br />
This was after studying the<br />
commissioners’ decision and<br />
seeking a further independent<br />
expert and legal advice.<br />
The submission was made<br />
through the Waipuna/Halswell-<br />
Hornby-Riccarton Community<br />
Board on behalf of the city<br />
council.<br />
The decision not to appeal<br />
was made in the confidential<br />
segment of the city council<br />
meeting last Thursday to ensure<br />
the legal advice obtained could<br />
be discussed by elected members<br />
in detail.<br />
Weedons<br />
Residents Association<br />
member<br />
Simon Moore<br />
made an individual<br />
submission<br />
opposing<br />
Simon Moore<br />
the quarry.<br />
He said<br />
he would<br />
financially support an appeal if<br />
needed.<br />
Mr Moore said the city<br />
council’s decision not to make an<br />
appeal was very disappointing.<br />
“It’s just a matter of roll over<br />
and let it happen I guess. What<br />
can I say? They don’t think it’s<br />
worth fighting a battle for their<br />
people at Templeton.’’<br />
He said the people of<br />
Templeton will remember the<br />
decision of the city council.<br />
In Brief<br />
ANNUAL PLAN SUBMISSIONS<br />
A total of 80 submissions have<br />
been made on the district<br />
council’s Annual Plan. Sixty<br />
people have also weighed<br />
in on the plan via an online<br />
survey. A district council<br />
spokesman said it is a higher<br />
number of submissions than<br />
would generally be expected at<br />
this stage of the process. They<br />
have not yet undertaken any<br />
analysis of the topics covered in<br />
the submissions. A key item in<br />
the consultation is the proposal<br />
to review the rate increases<br />
proposed for <strong>20</strong><strong>20</strong>/21. Public<br />
consultation will close on<br />
Friday.<br />
HUSKY RESCUE FUNDS<br />
Donations to help Husky Rescue<br />
NZ during the Covid-19 crisis<br />
have begun to dry up meaning<br />
it may have to downsize. The<br />
charity, which is based in<br />
Rolleston, is aiming to fundraise<br />
$32,000 a month to cover the<br />
cost of caring for its dogs.<br />
Founder Michelle Attwood<br />
said they received $27,000 in<br />
donations last month but have<br />
only raised about $7000 so far<br />
this month. To help Husky<br />
Rescue NZ, text HUSKY to 833<br />

CONFIDENT: Low interest rates will mean the construction industry in the<br />
district will bounce back according to major building company owner<br />
Russell Lilley.<br />

Employment expected<br />
to decline by 2100 jobs<br />
• From page 1<br />
“We have a bit of work<br />
to do at the moment. It<br />
should begin to pick up<br />
even more now in level 2,”<br />
he said.<br />
Mr Lilley said he is not<br />
worried at all about the<br />
future of construction in<br />
the district.<br />
“The interest rates are<br />
so low at the moment, of<br />
course things will bounce<br />
back. You would be crazy<br />
not to build right now.<br />
“I am 70-years-old, I<br />
have been through a lot<br />
of stuff, I have never been<br />
through a pandemic but<br />
I’ve been through times<br />
when interest rates were 28<br />
per cent. That was in the<br />
80s.”<br />
The Infometrics report<br />
shows transport, postal<br />
and warehousing activities<br />
could fall by 16 per cent.<br />
Professional, scientific<br />
and technical services<br />
would be reduced by eight<br />
per cent, while retail and<br />
wholesale trade would fall<br />
by six per cent.<br />
Consumer spending and<br />
traffic volumes were down<br />
substantially during the<br />
lockdown.<br />
Around 56 per cent of<br />
Gaming, TAB will be operating<br />
• From page 1<br />
“We can’t get enough of<br />
it. We will have a register<br />
for when<br />
people<br />
come in<br />
and we will<br />
seat them<br />
straight<br />
away,” he<br />
said.<br />
Gaming<br />
Craig<br />
Bradford<br />
machines<br />
and TAB<br />
facilities<br />
will also be able to operate<br />
in hotels across the district.<br />
New rules mean patrons<br />
the workforce was able<br />
to work under the level 4<br />
lockdown, and the analysts<br />
expected 78 per cent of<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong>’s workforce was<br />
able to work during level 3.<br />
Employment in <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
is expected to decline by<br />
2100 jobs in the year to<br />
March <strong>20</strong>21, a drop of<br />
8.6 per cent – but lower<br />
than the forecast national<br />
decline of 9.8 per cent.<br />
Job losses are expected at<br />
all skill levels.<br />
The loss of jobs means<br />
the overall unemployment<br />
rate in <strong>Selwyn</strong> is forecast<br />
to rise from 2.3 per cent in<br />
the March <strong>20</strong><strong>20</strong> quarter, to<br />
7.1 per cent in March <strong>20</strong>21.<br />
This compares to the<br />
forecast national unemployment<br />
rate of 9 per cent.<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong>’s house prices<br />
are also expected to follow<br />
the national trend,<br />
and decline 10.8 per cent<br />

Darfield Hotel owner Ray<br />
O’Connell said things have<br />
been going well he was<br />
looking forward to being<br />
fully open.<br />
“It will be good to<br />
have the bar back open.<br />
The gaming lounge and<br />
TAB will be available<br />
tomorrow,” he said.<br />
Coalgate Tavern coowner<br />
Steve Joy said they<br />
have been open for dine-in<br />
purposes but will be<br />
back to business as usual<br />
tomorrow.<br />
and December <strong>20</strong>21, before<br />
gradually recovering.<br />
Looking ahead, the report<br />
suggests that primary<br />
sector exports are expected<br />
to hold up and food product<br />
manufacturing will<br />
expand slightly, supporting<br />
the district’s longer-term<br />
recovery.<br />

support local communities,<br />
along with the essential<br />

Council chief recognised with award<br />
• By Devon Bolger<br />
THE DISTRICT council’s chief<br />
executive David Ward has been<br />
commended for his work in<br />
local government.<br />
He received the president’s<br />
award for distinguished<br />
contribution to the Society<br />
of Local Government<br />
Managers.<br />
Mr Ward said he is proud<br />
and honoured to have<br />
received the award.<br />
Said a society<br />
spokesman: “David<br />
is a long-term and<br />
significant supporter<br />
of SOLGM. He has<br />
been a member since<br />
<strong>20</strong>03 and has been<br />
heavily involved in two SOLGM<br />
working parties spanning more<br />
than 15 years,’’ he said.<br />
David Ward <br />
Mr Ward joined the<br />
finance working party<br />
in <strong>20</strong>04 and became<br />
chairman in <strong>20</strong>09, a<br />
position he retained<br />
until <strong>20</strong>17.<br />
THe spokesman said<br />
Mr Ward is also a strong<br />
supporter and mentor<br />
to the young leaders that report<br />
to him.<br />
“He has supported them to<br />
attend the executive leaders<br />
programme and several<br />
have gone on become chief<br />
executives.<br />
“In <strong>Selwyn</strong>, David established<br />
a young leaders group, which<br />
is co-chaired by two different<br />
young leaders each year. Under<br />
his direction they establish a<br />
speaker programme for their<br />
monthly meetings which<br />
includes both internal and<br />
external speakers. They have<br />
a framework of learning from<br />
others and learning from<br />
themselves.”<br />
Mr Ward was appointed<br />
as the district council chief<br />
executive in <strong>20</strong>13. His contract<br />
was recently extended until<br />
<strong>20</strong>23.<br />
Before his current position he<br />
was the chief executive of the<br />
Horowhenua District Council.<br />

Sites under evaluation for<br />
second Rolleston high school<br />
• By Devon Bolger<br />
PLANNING FOR a second high<br />
school in Rolleston has taken<br />
another step forward.<br />
Work is ongoing to acquire<br />
land for the school and the Ministry<br />
of Education is currently<br />
evaluating a number of sites.<br />
Engagement with other local<br />
schools and the community has<br />
been delayed due to Covid-19,<br />
but is expected to get this under<br />
way at the beginning of term 3<br />
in July.<br />
A Ministry of Education<br />
spokeswoman said they are<br />
unable to provide detail on the<br />
sites being considered at this<br />
stage.<br />
“So as not to prejudice or<br />
disadvantage our ability to carry<br />
out commercial negotiation.”<br />
The ministry has previously<br />
been in discussions with<br />
Rolleston College about the new<br />
school.<br />
The Ministry of Education<br />
funds land purchases through<br />
its capital budget.<br />
The ministry’s Canterbury<br />
National Education Growth<br />
Plan <strong>20</strong>30 predicts Rolleston<br />
College could reach its capacity<br />
of 1800 students by <strong>20</strong>27/28.<br />
Meanwhile, the establishment<br />
board of trustees for the new<br />
Rolleston East School has been<br />
appointed.<br />
“The board will oversee the<br />
development and construction<br />
of the year 1-8 school at Acland<br />
Park,” the spokeswoman said.<br />

by a serrated comb used for<br />
digging. They live in a hole in the<br />
ground about 10mm in diameter<br />
and 15-30cm deep.<br />
Contrary to its name, not all<br />
species have trapdoors on their<br />
holes. Those species that do have<br />
hinged trapdoors have a highly<br />
camouflaged, circular silk lid<br />
woven with debris from the<br />
ground.<br />
Cantuaria spend their entire<br />
life in their tunnel apart from<br />
when mature males leave to seek<br />
a mate in winter. Prey that come<br />
too close to the hole entrance<br />
are snaffled and pulled back into<br />
their tunnel for consumption.<br />
Lincoln Univesity PhD student<br />
Victoria Smith used beetles<br />
tethered to cotton thread to<br />
entice trapdoor spiders out of<br />
their holes for a study. Trapdoor<br />
spiders can be parasitised by<br />
pompilid wasps that specialise<br />
in attacking larger spiders.<br />
These wasps sting and paralyse<br />
the spider, drag it back to a nest<br />
where they then lay an egg in it.<br />
THe wasp larva will develop<br />
inside the paralysed spider,<br />
finally killing it when it eats its<br />
vital organs. Trapdoor spiders<br />
are also parasitised by large<br />
nematodes (round worms).<br />
THese nematodes brainwash<br />
the spider to find water, where<br />
the nematodes emerge to<br />
complete their lifecycle.<br />
Although this usually occurs<br />
in natural waterbodies, I know<br />
of one case in Lincoln where a<br />
trapdoor spider and nematode<br />
was found in a water bowl left for<br />
pets.<br />

Enrolments <strong>20</strong>21<br />
Our mission is to empower our learners to transform their lives, communities and futures.<br />
Whakamanatia ngā ākonga kia pikia ngā taumata o nāianei, o ngā tau kei te heke mai, ā-tangata, ā-hapori hoki.<br />
Principal’s Message:<br />
In <strong>20</strong>17, Rolleston College became the first new<br />
secondary school to open in the South Island for<br />
more than 50 years. Four years after welcoming its<br />
first cohort of 2<strong>20</strong> Year 9 students, we now have<br />
a roll of over 950 students across Years 9 – 12.<br />
At Rolleston College, we create a culture where<br />
every learner can stand and succeed as the unique<br />
individual that they are. Our school values enhance<br />
learner’s opportunities to live our school values<br />
as they Develop Self, Build Communities and<br />
Transform Futures. Rolleston College has been<br />
designed to be modern and future-focused with a<br />
physical design which reflects our vision for studentcentred,<br />
personalised teaching and learning. State of<br />
the art facilities paired with a solid record of NCEA<br />
achievement makes Rolleston College the obvious<br />
choice for your child’s secondary education.<br />
Rachel Skelton, Principal<br />
Our Learning<br />
At Rolleston College we have top class facilities and<br />
an exciting and diverse academic programme that<br />
meets the needs of the individual learner.<br />
The curriculum framework is designed to ensure that<br />
the delivery of learning is innovative, learner centred,<br />
skills relevant and cover all aspects of the New<br />
Zealand Curriculum (NZC, <strong>20</strong>07).<br />
The Learning Vehicles:<br />
Ako - learners meet with their learning coach to<br />
monitor their progress, develop their personalised<br />
inquiry programme and develop their individual<br />
literacy and numeracy programme as well as their<br />
health and wellbeing programme.<br />
Connected - this is a multidisciplinary approach<br />
to skill and knowledge development and allows<br />
for an authentic context of learning in the areas of<br />
mathematics, science, social science and English.<br />
Selected - learners choose from a range of enrichment<br />
options - from technology, to music, forensic science<br />
to sports specific and all that lies in between.<br />
Senior School:<br />
In the senior years, learners will continue their<br />
journey in advanced learning environments that<br />
will prepare learners for academic success and<br />
achievement. The Rolleston College Curriculum aims<br />
at enabling learners to gain an idea of their passions<br />
and purpose in life. Learners will work towards<br />
NZQA certified qualifications (NCEA).<br />
Wellbeing:<br />
Rolleston College is one of many New Zealand<br />
schools to implement the Ministry of Education<br />
Positive Behaviour for Learner School Wide<br />
Framework. At our school this framework has been<br />
adapted to work within the context of our school<br />
and our learners. The purpose of Positive Behaviour<br />
for Learning-School Wide (referred to as Ready to<br />
Learn at Rolleston College) is to ensure the Rolleston<br />
Spirit is flourishing within our school. The staff have a<br />
strong belief that learners need to be Ready to Learn<br />
and Ready to Flourish. As part of our wellbeing<br />
programme we have a strong emphasis on our ‘Check<br />
and Connect’ programme.<br />
Check & Connect<br />
Our School Values<br />
The qualities that make up the Rolleston Spirit<br />
identify the key values and dispositions that are<br />
important for our learners to develop during their<br />
time at Rolleston College. They focus on developing<br />
the individual learner’s awareness of self, community<br />
and future.<br />
Developing the Rolleston Spirit will equip learners to...<br />
The Rolleston Spirit<br />
Check and Connect:<br />
This is a way of connecting with our learners on a<br />
daily basis and in all learning vehicles. There are a<br />
variety of ways that Check and Connect can operate<br />
- with the essential outcome being that all learners<br />
know that they have staff who care, are ready to help,<br />
and work together to create a flourishing learning<br />
environment. The learners can use and practice<br />
the tools from their kete, just as you would use and<br />
practice numerical skills.<br />
C.A.S.E (Culture, Arts, Sport, Education Outside<br />
the Classroom)<br />
Co-curricular activities are an important part of<br />
life in Rolleston College and the wider community.<br />
We provide a wide range of sports and physical<br />
activities as well as a wide range of arts related and<br />
cultural opportunities.<br />

Natasha Oliver<br />
Providing families with random acts of kindness<br />
Natasha Oliver has been<br />
managing donations for<br />
struggling families at<br />
Christmas for three years.<br />
The Rakaia resident<br />
speaks to Devon Bolger<br />
about her work with<br />
the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Kindness<br />
Initiatives group and her<br />
passion for helping those<br />
in need<br />
How did the idea for the<br />
group begin?<br />
Just over three years ago I<br />
wanted to have a box made up<br />
for everything in it that people<br />
could have for Christmas<br />
Day. I was thinking roast<br />
meat, vegetables, decorations,<br />
Christmas trees and presents.<br />
I thought about how I could<br />
start it and went around to a<br />
few local businesses and put the<br />
word out. I didn’t have much of<br />
anything at that point and it is<br />
quite hard to get things started<br />
when people don’t know who<br />
you are. I managed to get the<br />
vegetables from Healthy Harvest,<br />
about $5000 worth of Christmas<br />
decorations from The Warehouse<br />
and we got brand new presents<br />
from within the community.<br />
My garage was full of stuff and<br />
there were plenty of trips to<br />
The Warehouse to pick up the<br />
decorations. I was thinking well<br />
what do I do now? How do we<br />
get the word out to those people<br />
that don’t have anything? I found<br />
that process quite tricky but I<br />
decided to ask for nominations<br />
of people to give them to. I found<br />
that people would nominate<br />
people who really didn’t need<br />
it and want to use it more of a<br />
thank you or sympathy gift and<br />
that was hard because I wanted<br />
to make sure the boxes went to<br />
families who had nothing. It<br />
was still really nice and we got<br />
some great feedback such as we<br />
would drop a box off to a school<br />
and it would go to a family who<br />
needed it within that school<br />
community. My family and I did<br />
that off our own backs. We spent<br />
two days delivering and it took<br />
HELPING HAND: Natasha Oliver, of Rakaia, spends her free time bringing joy to struggling<br />
families in Rolleston.<br />
us quite a while. The following<br />
year I knew I was going to need<br />
a team and that’s when I started<br />
the group. We had about 40<br />
volunteers collecting food for<br />
about three months the first<br />
year and the second year we had<br />
about 30-something. There was<br />
a period a couple of years ago<br />
where I asked volunteers to come<br />
forward who had time to give<br />
such as lawn mowing and home<br />
cooking, things like that. We<br />
had that running for about three<br />
months and matched them with<br />
people in need.<br />
What community work has<br />
the group done most recently?<br />
I had some Easter buckets<br />
from New World in the North<br />
Island in my possession and<br />
I knew there are obviously<br />
going to be some children in<br />
the community missing out on<br />
Easter this year because of their<br />
family’s financial situation. I<br />
pulled the buckets out, contacted<br />
Rainbow Confectionery through<br />
a friend of mine who sent<br />
down some Easter eggs and<br />
then Covid-19 happened and<br />
we had to hold off. I thought<br />
we would add some colouring<br />
and things so the kids would<br />
have something to do. We have<br />
just been waiting for them to<br />
hand out and I dropped them<br />
off last week all sanitised and<br />
everything. I anonymously<br />
dropped off two buckets to a<br />
family in Rolleston and found<br />
out later that night the kids<br />
thought the Easter bunny had<br />
been released out of lockdown<br />
so he could deliver the eggs for<br />
them. I like to jump and run so<br />
people don’t know where the<br />
goodies have come from because<br />
some people didn’t want people<br />
to know they had nominated<br />
them. We were lucky enough<br />
to have all of the boxes for food<br />
collections donated by Storage<br />
King Rolleston for Christmas<br />
last year. We now drop off all of<br />
the food to the Ellesmere Food<br />
Bank because they cover quite<br />
a wide area around the district<br />
and they know who does really<br />
need it.<br />
Why did you choose<br />
Rolleston as the base for the<br />
initiative?<br />
Rolleston is our go-to in<br />
terms of shopping, petrol and<br />
everything. We think it is a<br />
good metropolitan area for the<br />
initiative. I don’t want to get too<br />
big and try to cover too much,<br />
we are just trying to do what we<br />
can.<br />
What is next for the group?<br />
We are always looking for<br />
volunteers. I am trying to get a<br />
team together to meet up soon,<br />
hopefully in the next couple of<br />
months. I have only so many<br />
ideas, whereas a team would<br />
have many more than I. I am<br />
wanting to start getting prepared<br />
for Christmas this year. I am so<br />
thankful for the people who have<br />
been a part of these initiatives for<br />
the last three years.<br />
The group is heading into its<br />
fourth year now, what keeps<br />
you going?<br />
Knowing there are people out<br />
there much worse off than I. I am<br />
grateful for what I have, I want<br />
to pay it back. I just sort of do<br />
what I can. I was a single mum <strong>20</strong><br />
years ago and I know how hard<br />
it is for some families. Christmas<br />
is my favourite time of the year<br />
and I hate the idea of going away,<br />
•To register your interest in<br />
volunteering or donating, join the<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> Kindness Initiatives group<br />
on Facebook.<br />
sitting there on Christmas Day<br />
and having everything we need<br />
knowing there are families out<br />
there who have nothing. I just<br />
can’t deal with that. It probably<br />
has a lot to do with the fact that I<br />
have empathy and I absorb all the<br />
wrongdoings of the world and I<br />
mourn for all of the sad things.<br />
What do you do for work?<br />
At the moment I am working<br />
at Little India Restaurant in<br />
Rolleston. I have been working<br />
there since late last year. I have<br />
been in hospitality for eight<br />
years. I trained as a teacher and<br />
then jumped into hospitality<br />
after the February 22, <strong>20</strong>11,<br />
earthquake and haven’t looked<br />
back. Another avenue I am<br />
wanting to follow is supporting<br />
hospitality businesses. I know<br />
a lot of them are closing down<br />
now which is sad. I haven’t quite<br />
worked out how to follow that<br />
path but we will see.<br />
Could you tell me a bit about<br />
your family?<br />
I am married to a soldier based<br />
at Burnham Military Camp. I<br />
have two children and they are<br />
21 and 23.<br />

Fresh, local products<br />
to your door<br />
A collaboration of two Darfield-based businesses<br />
has taken <strong>Selwyn</strong> by storm. When Johnny Fresh<br />
Darfield and Greendale Butchery decided to<br />
work together to supply the district with a<br />
unique delivery service, Fresh on Wheels, the two<br />
businesses never dreamed they would receive<br />
such a huge demand for their service and have<br />
such a positive impact on people’s lives, especially<br />
during the Covid-19 lockdown period.<br />
Johnny Fresh Darfield manager Mel Tapa says the<br />
fresh produce and meat delivery service became a<br />
lifeline for people living in isolation.<br />
“People really looked forward to seeing the drivers;<br />
kids waved to them from their windows and made<br />
signs to welcome us. It was a real highlight<br />
of our day, knowing we were helping<br />
people who relied on us.”<br />
Fresh on Wheels is the<br />
brainchild of Greendale<br />
Butchery owners Bronwyn<br />
and Matt Dering and<br />
Johnny Fresh Darfield<br />
owner John Heasley and<br />
manager, Mel. Bronwyn<br />
and Mel got together in<br />
late November <strong>20</strong>19 to<br />
work out how the service<br />
would operate and soon<br />
got it off the ground, the<br />
operation streamlined<br />
as their experience and<br />
knowledge grew. The service<br />
now delivers to around 300<br />
customers across the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District<br />
and is steadily growing.<br />
Both businesses pride themselves on offering<br />
fresh, local, quality products. Bronwyn says<br />
Greendale Butchery is a boutique, family owned<br />
and operated business with a small team, creating<br />
award winning smallgoods, bacon and ham.<br />
Johnny Fresh Darfield, says Mel, is a green grocer<br />
that focusses on supplying quality fruit and<br />
vegetables, ordered daily to keep their produce<br />
fresh for their customers.<br />
Fresh on Wheels meat and produce packs can be<br />
ordered on a weekly basis on their Facebook page,<br />
where customers can view variations of meat and<br />
produce packs.<br />
“The new packs, with photos and an order form,<br />
are launched every Sunday night,” says Mel. “We<br />
vary the packs each week and try to co-ordinate<br />
the meat and vegetables so people can create<br />
meals that work together.”<br />
The packs are affordable and family-sized<br />
with a range of purchasing options<br />
including meat, vegetables, and<br />
fruit; meat and vegetables;<br />
vegetables and fruit; meat,<br />
fruit or vegetables only, along<br />
with top ups and add ons.<br />
Deliveries are Tuesday to<br />
Friday – with Kirwee and<br />
West Melton on Tuesdays;<br />
Rolleston and Burnham<br />
on Wednesdays; and<br />
Prebbleton and Lincoln on<br />
Thursdays. Areas local to<br />
Darfield including Hororata,<br />
Sheffield, Waddington,<br />
Springfield and Oxford work on<br />
a click and collect basis.<br />
The Fresh on Wheels team is excited<br />
about their service and looks forward to<br />
providing <strong>Selwyn</strong> communities with a professional<br />
service supplying local, fresh products.<br />
If you would like to place an order and join their<br />
online community, visit their Facebook page:<br />

Ransley second<br />
and <strong>20</strong> points<br />
clear of third<br />
PREBBLETON’S Jaden Ransley<br />
sits in outright second with three<br />
rounds remaining of the eSport<br />
Cup virtual motorsport series.<br />
Round eight tomorrow night is<br />
at Silverstone, the home of British<br />
racing.<br />
Ransley, 18, had a consistent<br />
seventh round last week.<br />
After a self-confessed “shocker”<br />
during qualifying where he<br />
managed 12th on the Oran Park<br />
track near Sydney, he managed<br />
sixth and third to remain well in<br />
contention for the title.<br />
“We had a bit of a shocker in<br />
qualifying so we were on the<br />
back foot from there but we<br />
had good momentum and good<br />
speed throughout the night<br />
which helped,” he said.<br />
“We now have a <strong>20</strong>-point<br />
buffer to third which is great<br />
with three rounds to go.”<br />
Ransley said the two races did<br />
not always go smoothly but he<br />
managed to avoid major issues.<br />
“In turn one of race two I<br />
got taken out but only suffered<br />
minor damage so I could keep<br />
going.<br />
“Keeping out of trouble, especially<br />
on a track like that which<br />
is small and tight is the way to<br />
go.<br />
“I’m learning from the other<br />
tracks not to be so aggressive on<br />
the first few laps and to just let<br />
things unfold in front of me,” he<br />
said.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> well placed to recover<br />
from pandemic impacts<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong>’s diverse economy and strong agricultural base are likely to<br />
reduce the impact of COVID-19 on the district’s economy, a report<br />
by economic analysts Infometrics shows.<br />
The report, prepared in April, projects <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s economy will<br />
contract by about 5.4 percent over the year to March <strong>20</strong>21.<br />
Employment is expected to decline by 2,100 jobs or by 8.6 percent<br />
– lower than the forecast national decline of 9.8 percent.<br />
The overall unemployment rate is forecast to rise to 7.1 percent in<br />
March <strong>20</strong>21, compared to 9 percent nationally. House prices are<br />
also expected to decline 10.8 percent between December <strong>20</strong>19 and<br />
December <strong>20</strong>21, before gradually recovering.<br />
Primary sector exports are expected to hold up and food product<br />
manufacturing will expand slightly, supporting the district’s longerterm<br />
recovery.<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>May</strong>or Sam Broughton says many households and<br />
businesses in <strong>Selwyn</strong> have been hard hit by this pandemic, but<br />
there are positives too.<br />
“It will take time for us to recover, but because we are less exposed<br />
to the international tourism market we’re better off than many other<br />
parts of the country.<br />
“It’s clear the construction boom will take a hit – but we know<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> offers a great lifestyle and affordable housing options that<br />
will remain attractive to many families.<br />
“Another real strength in <strong>Selwyn</strong> is our agricultural sector – and<br />
it’s encouraging to see that primary exports and food production<br />
are forecast to remain stable. I hope we’ll see employment<br />
opportunities open up in those sectors too.”<br />
The Council has a central part to play in the recovery, he says. “One<br />
of the key things we can do is maintain a steady programme of<br />
infrastructure projects that support local communities, along with<br />
the essential services our residents rely on.<br />
“We’re also talking with community and business leaders about<br />
what the future looks like, and how we can work together to build a<br />
stronger <strong>Selwyn</strong>. That will include things like making the most of our<br />
rural character and strong local networks, finding ways to support<br />
local businesses and encouraging locals and visitors to explore our<br />
outstanding natural environment.”<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> Open – ahead of the game<br />
As part of our <strong>Selwyn</strong> Open campaign we’re profiling some of the many excellent businesses local to<br />
you. You can find these businesses on the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Business Directory at selwyn.govt.nz/directory<br />
This week we talk to Andrew and Priscilla Foster from Magnitude Sports Rolleston.<br />
As we reach the point where we can return to our favourite games, <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s only sports store<br />
Magnitude Sports is re-opening its doors.<br />
The store first opened its doors in February last year in Faringdon, later moving to a bigger store in<br />
Rolleston’s town centre.<br />
During Alert Levels 4 and 3, they kept going with online orders, product deliveries, contactless pickups,<br />
advice over the phone and social media competitions with prizes.<br />
With the number of sports clubs and events in <strong>Selwyn</strong>, the couple felt there was a need for a sports<br />
store in <strong>Selwyn</strong>, saving residents a drive into Christchurch city.<br />
“There’s no one else in <strong>Selwyn</strong> doing what we’re doing. We’ve got some pretty cool products that will<br />
save people from going into town to get them,” Andrew said.<br />
The store offers everything from fishing to footwear, home fitness gear and even sometimes motocross<br />
products, all supplied from New Zealand wholesalers, except for some overseas clothing brands.<br />
“We try to keep it as local as we can.”<br />
And if there’s anything they don’t have, Andrew says they are happy to order stock in.<br />
The Fosters have lived in <strong>Selwyn</strong> for 14 years and,<br />
with their children Jacob and Libby, are involved<br />
with local rugby, netball and football clubs. Living<br />
locally helps them keep up with local needs. They<br />
pride themselves on customer service and advice<br />
that can sometimes get lost in bigger stores,<br />
Andrew says.<br />
The store also supports the community by donating<br />
prizes to raffles and collaborating with sports clubs<br />
and local schools.<br />
“We’re just local people trying to get our business up<br />
and running. We want to thrive and get bigger so we<br />
can help out the community.”<br />
Be road safety aware – think small<br />
As we get back to moving around under Alert Level 2 this week we’re asking people to think small and<br />
look out for our children on the roads.<br />
Over 10,000 children go to school in <strong>Selwyn</strong> – that’s nearly <strong>20</strong>% of our population – and many are on<br />
the move, heading back to school this week.<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> School Road Safety Coordinator Stephanie Hautler is encouraging everyone to keep their eyes<br />
peeled for our young people heading back to school by foot and on wheels.<br />
For those heading to school here are some travel safety tips:<br />
· Be bright and be seen. Ask your school for a safety vest.<br />
· Tackle the routes together, talking about sneaky driveways and blind corners.<br />
· Get out and active together to reduce the chaos at the school gate.<br />
· Wear your helmets – this goes for caregivers too… young people are watching you!<br />
We’re heading<br />
back to school<br />
Please watch<br />
out for us<br />

warm, late-summer evening, early this year international students<br />
from Lincoln University’s Master of Science in Food Innovation meet<br />
at a house near Lincoln’s Liffey stream.<br />
Their host, toxicology Professor Ravi Gooneratne, interrupts the<br />
chattering with a big smile to thank everyone for coming.<br />
It is a privilege to work with young people from different countries<br />
and cultures, he says. Originally from Sri Lanka, he says he can<br />
relate to these students after studying for his PhD in Australia and<br />
teaching in Canada before moving to Lincoln.<br />
“I treat them as my sons and daughters to a large extent. I invite<br />
them to my place about twice a year and we have an evening where<br />
they bring their cultural dishes so we get a chance to taste all the<br />
different dishes from different countries.”<br />
Ravi, his wife and their two young children moved to Lincoln in 1988<br />
after six years at the University of Saskatchewan, where winters<br />
reach -40 degrees Celsius.<br />
The neighbours in Lincoln were very friendly, helping him settle. He<br />
joined the Lincoln Rotary club in 1994, becoming president in <strong>20</strong>05.<br />
“We have really enjoyed our stay in New Zealand and we have met a<br />
lot of friends. The Lincoln community is fantastic.”<br />
He’s even kept the same hairdresser from when he first arrived.<br />
“I’ve been paying the 1988 rates, even now she hasn’t increased the<br />
amount she charges,” he laughs.<br />
Every so often he visits the local Buddhist temple, gathering with<br />
friends from the Sri Lankan community. He also continues to travel,<br />
visiting family in Sri Lanka each year and working as a professor at<br />
two Universities in China; Guangdong and Jiangnan.<br />
In <strong>20</strong>18 he was awarded a key to the city of Zhanjiang for<br />
his outstanding contribution to its economic, cultural, social,<br />
educational and international relations.<br />

Govt helps primary sector<br />
prepare for future droughts<br />
A new $500,000 fund will help farmers<br />
and growers prepare their businesses to<br />
recover from drought as the economy gets<br />
moving again, according to Agriculture<br />
Minister Damien O’Connor.<br />
The fund provides advisory services<br />
that usually cost $5000 to equip rural<br />
businesses with professional and technical<br />
advice to help them recover from and<br />
better prepare for future drought.<br />
“As we rebuild the economy following<br />
the effects of a global pandemic, we<br />
have an opportunity to build back better<br />
than before and factor in resilience for<br />
our productive primary sector,” Damien<br />
O’Connor said.<br />
“So far this year the Government has<br />
invested $17 million to help droughtstricken<br />
regions recover from what many<br />
are saying is the worst drought in living<br />
memory. It has affected all of the North<br />
Island and a good portion of the South.<br />
“Although there has been a bit of rain<br />
relief recently, it takes steady rain at the<br />
right time to get grass growing again. The<br />
flow-on effects of water shortages and low<br />
feed availability take a long time to fully<br />
recover from and some farmers will be<br />
dealing with the effects of this drought for<br />
a year or more.<br />
”One of the unusual consequences of the<br />
drought has already started to be noticed<br />
by consumers – that being the paler colour<br />
of our butter.<br />
“As the saying goes ‘you are what<br />
you eat’. The same goes for cows. New<br />
Zealand’s unique pasture-based farming<br />
system gives our butter a wonderful yellow<br />
colour. The shortage of grass and reliance<br />
on supplementary feed has meant our<br />
butter has started to turn white. A return<br />
to yellow will maintain our competitive<br />
advantage in our export markets.<br />
“We know that, with climate change, we<br />
can expect more acute weather events so<br />
it’s important we help farmers and growers<br />
get their businesses ready for future<br />
drought.<br />
“Key to recovery is making good<br />
decisions, based on sound advice. The<br />
purpose of this new fund is to ensure our<br />
farmers and growers can tap into this<br />
advice.<br />
“The fund will address the longer-term<br />
issues but there are also ongoing, acute<br />
issues that need to be addressed with<br />
urgency. Access to feed is the biggest<br />
acute issue so two feed coordinators are<br />
in place as of today, one in the North<br />
Island and another in the South, to make<br />

“The primary sector has shown time and<br />
again it has the strength, resilience and<br />
ability to recover from tough times and<br />
come back stronger than ever. I have every<br />
faith that – with this support – they’ll get<br />
through this too.’’<br />
The fund will be managed by the<br />
Ministry for Primary Industries and will<br />
pay for recovery advisory services of up to<br />
$5000 (excl GST) for selected applications<br />
in drought-affected regions.<br />
Funding can be used for a range of<br />
advisory services and drought-related<br />
advice, like:<br />
Strategic planning and the development<br />
of farm business plans<br />
Practical, on-the-ground advice and<br />
support like land management and<br />
sustainable management techniques<br />
Technical advice on soil and pastures,<br />

New tech career in less than a year<br />
Tech is big and getting bigger. The technology sector boomed<br />
in <strong>20</strong>19, cementing its position as one of our largest export<br />
earners according to the latest annual TIN (Technology<br />
Investment Network) Report. The number of people employed<br />
by the technology sector increased by 7.9 per cent last year<br />
to 51,569, and Canterbury’s tech revenue alone grew by 10.3<br />
per cent. It has never been a better time to add tech to your<br />
skill set and start your journey into NZ’s fastest growing sector.<br />
The future is tech. Be part of it.<br />
When it comes to the world of tech, the employment<br />
opportunities are virtually limitless. SIGNAL’s SHIFT<br />
programme was created to help you explore, experience<br />
and embrace those opportunities, adding to your<br />
qualifications and expanding your earning potential in this<br />
vibrant, fast-paced sector.<br />
SHIFT fast-tracks your tech learning with an industryfocused<br />
one-year programme, that not only boosts your<br />
skills, but gives you practical industry experience and an<br />
industry network to help you move into tech.<br />
Quick. Smart. Relevant.<br />
SHIFT is an innovative industry-driven programme for<br />
those who are seeking a new career path, who may or may<br />
not have a tech background. Open to degree holders in<br />
any discipline, SHIFT learners have come from diverse<br />
backgrounds such as medicine, philosophy, sociology,<br />
commerce, geography, marketing, engineering and<br />
humanities.<br />
And if you already have a tech related degree, you can<br />
expand your expertise by focusing on a new area and<br />
gaining valuable industry skills and connections.<br />
A unique learning experience.<br />
Using immersive studio-based learning and real-world<br />
industry experience, SHIFT produces graduates with a<br />
solid base of core tech skills, as well as the communication<br />
and collaborative skills required in the tech industry.<br />
SHIFT enables you to meet and work with local tech<br />
employers. You will complete group projects with tech<br />
mentors, and also gain experience via a <strong>20</strong>0-hour<br />
placement within industry. This allows you to add value to<br />
your host and to showcase your capabilities.<br />
Opportunities.<br />
Tech roles exist in nearly every area, from aviation to zoology,<br />
and career possibilities are extensive. During SHIFT you<br />
can focus on software design and development, business<br />
analysis, data science, web design, project management,<br />
user experience design, technical writing, service delivery,<br />
and the list goes on.<br />
Diversity is important in the tech sector. The best designed<br />
products incorporate many viewpoints to meet customer<br />
requirements. Tech firms are actively recruiting to increase<br />
gender and ethnic diversity across their employees, and<br />
can sometimes offer flexible hours and remote working<br />
opportunities.<br />
SHIFT starts July <strong>20</strong><strong>20</strong> and limited partial<br />
scholarships are also available.<br />
To find out more about what tech career<br />
opportunities exist and adding tech to your<br />
current skills, join us online at one of our<br />

Hyundai Ioniq ramps<br />
up the EV market<br />
WATCH OUT Toyota<br />
Prius. The car that has<br />
dominated the hybrid<br />
market since its launch has<br />
a serious competitor.<br />
Enter Hyundai’s Ioniq – a<br />
trendy hatchback that is<br />
making big inroads into the<br />
electric vehicle market.<br />
Ioniq has been with us for<br />
two or three years now and<br />
is available as an electriconly<br />
vehicle, a traditional<br />
hybrid or, as in the test car’s<br />
case, a petrol/electric plugin<br />
hybrid.<br />
Put simply, the latter has<br />
the best of all worlds, you<br />
can treat it as a standard<br />
petrol-powered car and<br />
never bother charging it, or<br />
you can treat it as an electric<br />
vehicle and charge the batteries<br />
using a 230v supply.<br />
My old home isn’t compatible<br />
to the drain charging<br />
places on the circuitry, so I’ll<br />
never be an electric vehicle<br />
owner, however, I fully support<br />
those who see EVs as<br />
the way of the future.<br />
The Ioniq hybrid has a<br />
four-cylinder engine of<br />
1580cc. It has lowish power<br />
outputs but because it has<br />
the benefit of electric energy<br />
in tandem there is still<br />
sufficient power on hand.<br />
Hyundai claim outputs of<br />
77kW and 147Nm, with another<br />
44.5kW and 170Nm<br />
available through the electric<br />
motor. Drive is channelled<br />
through a six-speed<br />
dual clutch transmission to<br />
the front wheels.<br />
Driving the Ioniq doesn’t<br />
need any special technique.<br />
Sure, you do have to have<br />
a different mindset when it<br />
comes to filling up, if you<br />
do use the charging system<br />
frequently you’ll want to<br />
develop a system whereas it<br />
just becomes second nature.<br />
Of course, if the batteries<br />
do run low the Ioniq, in this<br />
form, will run happily all of<br />
the time on fossil fuel.<br />
The benefit of all of this<br />
is low fuel use. The Ioniq<br />
hybrid is rated by Hyundai<br />
with a 1.1-litre per 100km<br />
combined cycle average.<br />
That is a bold claim that<br />
can only be achieved under<br />
best possible operating<br />
conditions, however, the<br />
fuel usage readout was<br />
constantly listing around<br />
5l/100km which I thought<br />
was acceptable given many<br />
of my journeys were at city<br />
speeds with a lot of stopstart<br />
driving.<br />
I also took the hybrid on<br />
much the same route as I<br />
would normally use during<br />
an evaluation. A fierce<br />
nor’wester was blowing as<br />
I tackled the roads west,<br />
presenting the Ioniq with a<br />
battle to start with, so that<br />
was a fuel-saving challenge<br />
in the first instance.<br />

HYUNDAI IONIQ<br />
PHEV: Part of an<br />
extensive electric<br />
range.<br />
However, the Ioniq<br />
served to prove it travels<br />
much like any ‘normal’ car,<br />
it cruises happily at the legal<br />
limit and it was also quite<br />
responsive when it came<br />
time to overtake, that manoeuvre<br />
can be completed<br />
in about 6.5sec with a solid<br />
burst of energy through<br />
the mid-range. The Ioniq<br />
PHEV will also launch to<br />
100km/h in around 10sec.<br />
On the subject of figures,<br />
Hyundai claims a 52km<br />
journey on electric power<br />
only. Electric only drive can<br />
be initiated through a pushbutton,<br />
which would be ideal<br />
for the weekday commute.<br />
When the long straights<br />
run out and the Ioniq is<br />
pointed at some tricky corners,<br />
it handles a lot better<br />
than you might expect. Sure,<br />
it’s no sports car, and you<br />
could be forgiven for thinking<br />
that with a lot of battery<br />
power it is a heavy vehicle.<br />
At 1500kg, that’s far from<br />
the case, and what weight<br />
there is in the batteries sits<br />
low in the floorpan, so there<br />
is a low centre of gravity.<br />
That’s always conducive to<br />
respectable handling, and<br />
the Ioniq steers with strong<br />
precision and perfect body<br />
balance.<br />
The Ioniq PHEV lands here<br />
in two specifications, base<br />
model and Elite; the test car<br />
was the entry-level model<br />
which has cloth trim, and that<br />
would be my preference.<br />
If you think that you<br />
are going to be charged a<br />
premium price for the Ioniq<br />
hybrid, then think again. At<br />
$53,990 it fares well against<br />
its competitors, including<br />
those from its partner Kia.<br />
For interest’s sake an extra<br />
$6k will buy you into Elite<br />
specification, while a hybrid<br />
without plug-in facility lists<br />
at $46,990. As a guide to<br />
where it sits in the Hyundai<br />
line-up, an Ioniq EV Elite is<br />
priced at $71,990.<br />
The Ioniq is there for<br />
those who don’t want a<br />
sport utility vehicle and<br />
who want to distance themselves<br />
for whatever reason<br />
from Prius. The concept of<br />
the later and Ioniq is similar,<br />
they are both liftbacks,<br />
although the Ioniq is a little<br />
more compact at 4.5m.<br />
Nevertheless, it makes good<br />
use of its proportions and<br />
is a comfortable, easy car to<br />
drive and to be in.<br />
Quite clearly, Hyundai<br />
has targeted the hybrid<br />
market as a growth area, the<br />
Ioniq in all forms represents<br />
an environmentallyfriendly<br />
option as to the<br />
way we travel.<br />
Personally, if I had to<br />
go that way in a new car<br />
purchase, the standard<br />
hybrid would probably be<br />
the choice. However, full<br />
marks to Hyundai, having<br />
such an extensive range will<br />
only hold the company in<br />
good stead.<br />
