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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

species in New Zealand.<br />

THese spiders are characterised<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 />

Rolleston College<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 />

the match performances in his<br />

debut home ODI and test series<br />

Auckland batsman Jeet Raval<br />

SPORT<br />

Todd Astle.<br />

Selection manager, Gavin<br />

Larsen said Jamieson deserved<br />

the accolade.<br />

short of outstanding and at 25<br />

years of age he’s certainly got a big<br />

future,” he said.<br />

As part of the formal contracting<br />

procedure, the New Zealand<br />

Cricket Players Association was<br />

consulted and it expressed satisfaction<br />

the process, as outlined<br />

in the master agreement, was<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 />

south along Tennyson Street. Lowes Road will be open to two way traffic west of<br />

Tennyson Street and one way eastbound, east of Tennyson Street.<br />

Jones Road will be closed to the north and south of the roundabout until 29 <strong>May</strong> to allow important<br />

sealing work to get the road through the winter and to reduce. A detour is in place.<br />

One lane of Trents Road is closed heading south east away from Springs Road while upgrades are<br />

made to the sewer system. Traffic management is in place. Culvert construction is taking place on<br />

Malvern Hills Road. Traffic management is in place.<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 />

Fund<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> Community Fund<br />

The fund is available for <strong>Selwyn</strong>-based<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 />

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 />
