RESIDENTS SAY IT’S BULLY BOY TACTICS

Fulton Hogan appeals

quarry conditions

• By Devon Bolger

FULTON Hogan’s bid to

change some of the conditions

it will operate its controversial

quarry near Weedons under has

been described as “bully boy

tactics.”

The roading company wants

to appeal parts of the resource

consent it was granted by

Environment Canterbury and the

district council.

One of the conditions Fulton

Hogan is appealing is that once a

year ECan may serve notice of its

intention to review the conditions

of these consents for the purposes

of off-setting or compensating

for any adverse effects on human

health arising from suspended

particulate matter generated by

quarry activities.

The company says the condition

is unreasonable and it is difficult

to envisage what kind of health

effect is being referred to and how

it could be off-set.

DOES FULTON Hogan

want to be a good corporate

citizen over the controversial

Roydon Quarry?

If our page 1 article today is

anything to go by probably not.

Fulton Hogan was granted

resource consent to develop

the quarry in an area which

will be close to where people

live. Who wants a dusty,

noisy and truck-busy quarry

near them?

Fulton Hogan argued the

impact of the quarry would

not be as bad as the residents

opposing it said it would

be. Conditions were placed

on the resource consent to

mitigate what lies ahead for

residents.

But now the contracting

giant is appealing some of

those conditions, putting

more pressure on residents

who are also appealing the

original decision.

Why should we be

surprised?

Residents angry over

dumped rubbish across district

• By Devon Bolger

DUMPED RUBBISH across the

district is angering residents who

say they are fed up with people

destroying the landscape.

District council regulatory

manager Billy Charlton said 95

notifications of dumped rubbish

in a public place have been

received since January.

“When council receives a

report of rubbish being dumped

it is always cleared as soon as

possible by our contractors.”

Mr Charlton said 18 instances

have been investigated this year

and eight infringement notices

have been issued with fines

totaling $2650.

Springston resident Gail

Route said she is appalled at

the amount of litter she comes

across on her regular bike rides.

“It is mainly fast food takeaway

packaging, disposable coffee

and soft drink cups, glass beer

bottles and plastic bottles.

“I have been living in

Springston for 10 years and I’m

just getting fed up with all the

rubbish.”

Ms Route said the rubbish

appears to be coming from

vehicles.

“Where I cycle it is too far for

people to walk so quite obviously

it is people chucking litter from

their cars.”

She has stopped picking up the

rubbish because there is just too

much.

“I did get in touch with the

council and they said they did

send somebody out to clean up

but I can’t tell if they’ve actually

done that or if more litter has

appeared.”

Ms Route would like to see

more roadside and television

advertising asking people to dispose

of their rubbish properly.

•HAVE YOUR SAY: Do you

think rubbish dumping is a

problem in the district? Email

devon.bolger@starmedia.kiwi

“It can’t be good for the wildlife,

native birds and things like

that. The material also might get

broken down and leech into the

ground.”

Rolleston resident Siena

Turner says she is also sick of

rubbish dumping in the district,

especially along Dunns Crossing

Rd.

Route on a bike

She said she was on a walk

with her family last week when

she came across a pile of rubbish

with more than 50 wrappers and

bottles.

“I was infuriated at this. It

makes me angry because people

are destroying the rural, green

and fresh landscape of Dunns

Crossing Rd.

“I’d like to ask the public,

keep this lovely district

clean because owners of the

properties shouldn’t be picking

up someone else’s mess,” she

said.

Voters know what parties they want;

The general election

is nine weeks away.

National has always held

sway in Selwyn, and

has a new electorate

candidate in Nicola

Grigg. Reporter Devon

Bolger tests the pulse of

the district

POLITICAL opinions in the

district appear to be quite varied.

Outside of the Countdown

supermarket in Rolleston, Alice

Tang was in a hurry to pick up

her groceries but said she was

happy to spare a few moments to

talk politics.

She has been living in Rolleston

since 2012.

“I feel like we don’t have a solid

plan to deal with the economy.

We are facing a really big crisis

and need a long-term plan.”

Ms Tang said she will be giving

her vote to Act.

“That is purely because I know

Labour and National have their

supporters but I would like to see

a different party get a chance to

show what they can do.”

She said she did not know

enough about cannabis use or

the upcoming referendum to offer

an opinion.

Alice Tang

“I think it requires a lot more

research and planning but I’m

not opposed to it,” she said.

Ms Tang knew the National

candidate for Selwyn was Nicola

Grigg, but not the other candidates.

Further along, Edgar Caisip

had stopped to roll a cigarette

after going to The Warehouse.

He said if the polls were to

open next week, he would be

voting for Labour.

“I think they are working for

the country. The pandemic has

been quite crazy.”

Mr Caisip said he was “dead

against’’ legalising cannabis but

in favour of euthanasia.

He did not know who the candidates

were for Selwyn.

Along Rolleston Drive, Martin

Perry was out for a walk to the

New World supermarket.

Lena Atger

He said he thinks the cannabis

referendum is a major issue this

election.

“I am really torn about it

because I would vote yes for medicinal

use, absolutely, but I am

just not too sure about personal

use. I think it contradicts what

the Government is trying to

achieve with going smoke-free.”

Mr Perry said normally he

would vote for National but he

is unsure after recent incidents

such as the Covid-19 patient data

leak.

“It is a tricky one for me. I will

have to see how I feel closer to

the time.”

He did not know any of the

candidates, saying: “All I know

is Amy Adams but I think she is

retiring.”

Mr Perry said he disagreed

with euthanasia for religious

reasons and would be voting no

at the referendum.

In the Faringdon subdivision

in Rolleston, Lena Atger was

gardening in her front lawn.

She agreed to stop for a quick

chat and seemed excited about a

political discussion.

Ms Atger lives and works in

the district. She has been there

for about 10 years.

She would definitely not be

voting for National but would

have to do more research before

deciding where her vote would

go.

“I don’t know much about the

guy they have elected as leader

now. I also don’t know any of

their policies at all.”

Ms Atger said she would be

voting no for the legalisation of

cannabis and was unsure how

she would vote on the euthanasia

bill.

opinion divided on two referendums

“I don’t know any of the candidates

here. I couldn’t even tell

you one, which is bad I know.”

Heading east, Prebbleton resident

Anderson Webb was walking

his dog along Tosswill Rd.

He said he would be voting for

National this year.

“That is who I voted for last

time as well.”

Mr Webb said he thought the

legalisation of cannabis was a

major issue in the upcoming election.

“I will be voting yes. I don’t

really have an opinion on euthanasia.”

He said Nicola Grigg was the

only candidate he knew of.

A short time later in Lincoln,

Howard Paterson was waiting to

catch the bus outside the library

along Gerald St.

“It is hard to say what the major

issues are but I think the recovery

from Covid-19 will be key for the

country going forward.”

Mr Paterson said if the polls

were to open next week he would

be voting for Labour.

“The National Party has had

some bad days. Namely with

the recent leaking incident with

Michelle Boag,” he says of the

Covid patient list leaked to the

news media.

He was unsure of who the candidates

for the electorate are.

Strolling through Lincoln’s

Liffey Domain were David and

Lynne Montgomery.

They both also thought the

recovery from Covid-19 would be

a major issue.

Mr Montgomery joked that

footpaths are another issue which

will cause much debate.

When asked who they would

vote for, Mrs Montgomery said

Labour and Mr Montgomery said

National.

“It doesn’t matter that we don’t

agree,” Mrs Montgomery said.

Neither of the couple was in

favour of legalising cannabis.

Mrs Montgomery said she

thinks Labour is likely to win.

“It varies when you ask but at

the moment I think it’s Labour. I

don’t think National has the right

guy as leader.”

Artemio Mendoza-Mendoza

was waiting for the bus at the

stop near The Famous Grouse

Hotel on Gerald St with his sixyear-old

son Santiago.

Mr Mendoza-Mendoza said he

thinks Labour is doing a good job

with the recovery from Covid-19

PROUD:

Artemio

Mendoza-

Mendoza,

with his son

Santiago

Mendoza-

Nieto, said

he would

performance

and would be voting for them.

“It is going to be difficult

to decide when to open the

borders and I think the good

work that has been done has to

continue.”

He would be voting yes on the

cannabis and euthanasia referendums.

“I think legalising cannabis is a

good idea. The medicinal properties

are very good.”

Real estate agent Stu Jones was

taking a stroll through the Preston

Downs subdivision in West

Melton.

Claims of a tit-for-tat

Stu Jones

•From page 5

Mr Jones said he would be voting

in favour of euthanasia but no

on the cannabis referendum.

“This time last year, I would

have been a yes but after going

to Canada and seeing people

smoking cannabis on the street,

I thought well that’s not exactly

what I had in mind.”

Mr Jones said it is too early to

tell who will win the election but

it will be close.

Mark Exton was on his way to

get some groceries at the West

Melton Village shopping centre.

He said he had a few moments to

chat before he had to rush off.

“I will be voting for the

National Party. I express a preference

based on historical policies I

have seen.”

Mr Exton said he thinks a major

issue is tourism and the idea

of keeping the country productive

Mark Exton

Henry King

‘It will be close’

and keeping the economy going.

He said he would vote yes on

both the cannabis and euthanasia

referendums.

“If cannabis is controlled then

yes but there will always be

people who abuse that.”

He had no idea of the MP

candidates this year but said the

name Nicola rung a bell.

After travelling further down

West Coast Rd to Darfield, Henry

King was in his driveway on

South Terrace.

He said his vote would be going

to Act this election after voting

for the National Party in the last

election.

“I think a major issue facing

our country is obviously how we

will recover from Covid-19.”

He said he would be voting

yes to legalise cannabis and

euthanasia and did not know the

names of any of the candidates.

• From page 1

The decision – which granted

consent for the quarry for 35

years – imposed a number of

conditions, including setting up

a dust management plan, truck

movements limited to 1200 a day

and no work can take place at

night during the quarry’s first five

years.

A long time quarry

opponent, Weedons

resident Simon Moore

said: “It is just a bit of

bully boy tactics. Fulton

Hogan publicly stated

how pleased they were

with the conditions and

then as soon as somebody

appeals they come

out and say they aren’t

happy.

“They are just contradicting

themselves.”

Fulton Hogan’s appeal comes

after Weedons resident Stephen

Bain’s bid to overturn the resource

consent granted to operate

the quarry.

Mr Bain is seeking public

support to fund an appeal to the

Environment Court to stop it.

He and Mr Moore believe

Fulton Hogan’s own appeal is a

tit-for-tat response.

Said Mr Bain: “I think it was

a strategic move that they have

made because of my appeal. I

Simon

Moore

don’t think they were going to

do it until they saw other people

were appealing.

“I was very surprised because

the extension to appeal was only

granted 24 hours before the

initial appeal period closed so it

didn’t seem like they planned on

appealing.”

The Christchurch City Council

has also got involved.

At a meeting last Thursday

it decided to become a

party to proceedings to try

and stop the conditions of

the resource consent being

changed.

It has until Monday to

lodge the necessary paperwork.

Then it may be able

to present submissions and

evidence at a subsequent

hearing.

Fulton Hogan is appealing

these conditions:

•Depositing clean fill is only

allowed between 6-8pm Monday

to Saturday. Fulton Hogan wants

it changed so the activity can occur

during evenings, night time

and Sundays.

• Heavy vehicle movements

leaving or accessing the quarry

need to use the direct route

comprising State Highway 1,

Jones and Dawsons Rds. Fulton

Hogan wants it changed so it just

has to take all practicable steps

to ensure the vehicles associated

with the quarry do not travel on

those roads.

• Loaded heavy vehicles

arriving at the site must have

their load covered. Fulton

Hogan wants this condition

removed.

• Heavy vehicles with aggregate

or other quarry material

leaving the site must cover their

load and have it dampened with

water spray. Fulton Hogan wants

it changed so that the vehicles

must either cover their load or

have it dampened.

• Once a year ECan may

serve notice of its intention to

review the conditions of these

consents for the purposes of

(amongst other things) “offsetting

or compensating for

any adverse effects on human

health arising from suspended

particulate matter (including

dust and respirable crystalline

silica) generated by quarry

activities.” Fulton Hogan

seeks the removal of the subparagraph

completely.

• Six dust monitoring devices

are to be installed prior to quarry

activities occurring and during

operations. Fulton Hogan wants

it changed to require one permanent,

regulatory certified monitor

and four calibrated, mobile

monitors.

ADVERTORIAL

Free gifts on

opening day!

• Prior to the start of

quarrying, the consent

holder must design and

implement a Respirable

Crystalline Silica monitoring

programme in consultation

with the Canterbury

District Health Board

and ECan and prepare a

report on the results of

the 12-month programme

within one month of

its completion. Fulton

Hogan is proposing two,

4-month-long monitoring

campaigns rather than one

12-month campaign.

• Quarry activities

(except dust suppression

measures) within 250m

of a sensitive receptor

location must not be

undertaken when the wind

direction places quarry

activities directly upwind

of the sensitive receptor

location and the wind

speed reaches or exceeds 7

m/s. Fulton Hogan wants

it changed so only a subset

of the activities that may

occur on-site are required

to stop under certain meteorological

conditions.

• It must take all reasonably

practicable measures

to minimise the discharge

of dust from quarry activities

which include ensuring

trucks leaving the site

with loads of fine material

and trucks entering the

site with loads of clean fill

are covered. Fulton Hogan

wants it changed so that

trucks can alternatively

pass under a water spray

boom.

• Should the ability to

take water cease at any

time, the consent holder

must cease quarry activities

requiring water usage

to manage dust. Fulton

Hogan wants it changed

so the company will assess

the need to temporarily

cease some or all parts of

operations itself.

• Excavation of aggregate

and deposition of clean fill

must only occur where the

quarry floor maintains at

least 1m separation depth

to groundwater. Fulton

Hogan is seeking a minor

change so that permissible

excavation depths are defined

by reference to an RL

level, as opposed to metres

below ground level.

• Should the groundwater

level increase so that

the separation is less than

1m between the measured

groundwater levels and

the current ground level

within the active quarry

floor quarry site, Fulton

Hogan must apply virgin

materials to that area, so as

to reestablish a 1m separation

distance throughout

the site. Fulton Hogan

wants it changed to include

that this requirement does

not apply to any areas

which have already been

rehabilitated;

• If the results of the

second groundwater

samples show an

exceedance of the trigger

concentrations, the consent

holder must sample all

domestic wells within

500m downgradient of

the affected bore. If any

domestic bore sample

reveals an adverse effect

on drinking-water quality,

then the consent holder

must either provide

the well user with an

alternative supply of

potable water, provide

an appropriate water

treatment system, or install

a deeper well for the user.

Fulton Hogan wants it

changed to state that the

exceedance must be more

than likely attributable to

the quarrying operations.

Finding a super comfortable bra can

be daunting at times. That’s why

Esther Rokk from Beauty Bra Ltd is

opening a new branch in Prebbleton

on 21 July. Esther constantly hears

the same stories of woe from women

who are uncomfortable: the bra

straps fall down, the wires dig in, the

back rides up, and the bust line sags.

That is why when Lisa Tempero

was approached by Esther to manage

the new Prebbleton branch she

jumped at the opportunity. Lisa is

passionate about helping women

to find the correct fitting bra. Lisa

says, ‘I know what an uncomfortable

bra is like. When I was fitted with

the Beauty Bra I couldn’t believe

how comfortable I felt. It helped to

relieve my upper back pain because

the Beauty Bra fits properly and I

am securely supported. I don’t need

under wires for support because of

the Beauty Bra’s inbuilt shelf.’

‘Lisa has been thoroughly trained

and I know the ladies will feel at ease

with her,’ Esther says. ‘She has a kind

and gentle approach.’

The Beauty Bra is a healthy bra.

No under wires to impede lymphatic

drainage; no stretch straps; no

shoulder strap pull and no flattening

of the breast tissue. Your bust is

supported from beneath by the

cleverly concealed, inbuilt shelf.

There is very little weight on the

shoulders at all. That fact alone can

help to relieve back and shoulder

pain. All the Beauty Bra offers is

amazing comfort and support.

Lisa says, ‘We have over 200

hundred size combinations. That

allows us to fit to practically every

figure type. Plus we find they last

three times longer than your average

bra.’

Another garment in the range is

the Beauty Tummy Support. This

brilliant garment supports, protects

and gently lifts the abdomen after

surgery. Can also relieve hernia

conditions and eases strain after

childbirth. It is also used as gentle

tummy control.

For those women who love firm

shape wear check out our Beauty

Figure Control. Fabulous contouring

and gives a great look no matter what

the view. Pair it with the Beauty

Waist Trimmer and the Beauty Bra to

give you a lovely smooth silhouette.

All fittings are personal and private

from Lisa’s home in Prebbleton.

Beauty Bra is opening on Tuesday,

21 July. Women who book for a free,

no obligation fitting on that day will

receive free gifts with any purchases.

Spaces are extremely limited so book

early to avoid being disappointed.

Waste facility

application to go

straight to

Environment Court

• By Devon Bolger

A CONTROVERSIAL application

to expand a waste facility near

Prebbleton has been approved to go

straight to the Environment Court.

Last month, Waste Management

Ltd applied to have its resource consent

application to expand its site at

305 Marshs Rd bypass the council

hearing process.

Said an ECan spokeswoman:

“Council has 20 working days

to complete a report on the application,

including addressing any

issues; suggested conditions that

should be imposed if the consent

was granted; and provide a summary

of submissions.”

Waste Management Ltd will then

make a final decision to proceed

or not directly to the Environment

Court.

One of the reasons the company

gave for wanting to refer the matter

to the Environment Court is likely

appeals on the application.

“The application is contentious. It

has already generated considerable

community and media attention

including public meetings.

“The significant public interest

raises the real likelihood of appeals

and for that reason alone the

application should be directly

referred to the Environment Court.”

Prostate cancer support group

• By Devon Bolger

WHEN CHRIS Ward was

diagnosed with prostate

cancer in 2018 he learned the

importance of a strong support

system.

The 70-year-old Lincoln

resident decided it was time the

district had a dedicated support

group for men also suffering

from prostate cancer.

With the help of his wife

Dianne he started the group in

February last year.

They meet on every fourth

Wednesday of the month at the

Lincoln Event Centre.

It has 40 members on its

books and about 25 to 30 men

typically attend the meetings.

Said Mr Ward: “After I began

treatment I went to a support

group meeting in Christchurch

and I found that very valuable.

It was great to go along and talk

to other people with common

issues.

“Out here in Selwyn, I figured

there is quite a population of

people and one in eight is the

general strike rate for prostate

cancer so I thought there could

be a lot of people out here who

can benefit from some support

too.”

Mr Ward said he approached

the Prostate Cancer Foundation

about wanting to start the group

and they were very supportive.

The group attracts people

from across the district with

members from Darfield,

Rolleston, Leeston, Lincoln and

Prebbleton.

The meetings consist of a

sharing session for the men to

open up about their struggles

and sometimes guest speakers.

“We also have physios too.

They have a very pressing part to

play, they can offer a lot of help

so they came along and shared

what they can do for us.”

About 18 months ago members

of the group started to take

part in a pilot programme called

Prost-FIT.

It is a fitness group run by

Exercise As Medicine NZ which

includes elements of

cardio, resistance, boxing and

other modalities to improve

strength, balance and stamina.

“That has been extremely successful

for us and the Prostate

Cancer Foundation is looking to

expand the programme across

the country.”

Mr Ward said things are

looking positive for his health

as his two-year check-up in May

Selwyn Sounds

Rocker to sing from extensive back catalogue

• By Matt Slaughter

WHEN JON Stevens’ song

Jezebel reached number one on

the New Zealand charts in 1979,

a career in music wasn’t on his

mind.

Said Stevens: “I made a record

when I was 16, it came out when

I was 17, which was Jezebel. It

was released and three weeks

later it was No 1 and all of a

sudden, I was famous in New

Zealand.

“It [music] was something

that I didn’t pursue at all, it

was like a happy accident

actually because it wasn’t

something I was actually into

doing,” he said.

But Stevens, who is entertainer

Frankie Stevens’ brother,

couldn’t stay away from music,

and more than four decades

later, he is set to headline Selwyn

Sounds on March 6 at Lincoln

Domain.

Jon Stevens is best known

for being the lead singer of

Noiseworks. He was also lead

singer of legendary Australian

band INXS for four years after

former frontman Michael

Hutchence died.

The Selwyn Sounds crowd can

expect Stevens to belt out a set

of hits from both of these bands

when he takes the stage.

Said Stevens: “I’ve got a

pretty good setlist going with,

obviously, both bands’ songs.

You can’t please everybody, but

nobody’s disappointed ever.

“It’s just hit after hit, you

know,” he said.

Stevens said these hits will

include INXS songs Need You

Tonight, Don’t Change and

Suicide Blonde and Noiseworks’

Hot Chilli Woman.

Stevens fronted INXS in the

early 2000s after Hutchence’s

death in 1997 and toured with

the band for four years.

“When I joined INXS, it was

just one of those things where it

seemed like a perfectly natural

fit and it was, and it’s something

that I know, and we all knew,

Michael would have been more

than happy for me to do because

we were compadres.”

Stevens said he and Hutchence

had “mutual admiration” for

ROCKING OUT:

Jon Stevens will

be performing

a set including

songs from

Noiseworks

and INXS at

Selwyn Sounds

on March 6.

The Lady Killers

will also be

performing.

each other.

“He [Hutchence] was a very

warm and engaging fellow. He

was a lovely bloke [with] charisma

to burn. One thing people didn’t

realise about Michael was he had

a really, really big voice, it was

really so loud.

“Because his subtlety in his

lower register was just incredible

and his tone was incredible,

when he jumped up an octave

and started belting it out, it was

just like, man, so full-on, and

that’s probably a big part of his

magic,” he said.

Stevens is looking forward

to the Selwyn Sounds crowd

hearing his spin on the INXS

songs and said he has the band’s

blessing to perform them.

Some of Stevens’ best career

memories have been playing

shows with artists including

Elton John, Aerosmith and Slash

and performing at venues such

as Madison Square Garden in

New York and Wembley Stadium

in London.

He said he is looking forward

to seeing the huge Kiwi lineup

set to take the stage at Selwyn

Sounds and his highlights will be

seeing Stan Walker, The Jordan

Luck Band, The Lady Killers and

Annie Crummer.

Liffey southern

walkway opens

The banks of the Liffey have taken on a new look along a popular lockdown walking route in Lincoln.

A new 450 metre walkway along the Liffey Stream between Southfield Drive and Jimmy Adams

Terrace was officially opened last week, after the last of more than 3400 plants was planted along

the route.

It completes walkway links from the Lincoln town centre to the wetlands and restores a previously

overgrown section of the Liffey, Council Land Development Project Manager Phillip Millar says.

Contractors worked hard to have the walkway ready for use the day before the Level 4 Lockdown.

Councillor Grant Miller says the walkway proved popular during the lockdown.

“People were coming to use the walkway from other townships nearby because they loved it that

much, which gives you an idea of the quality of work that has gone on here.”

Final planting and landscaping was finished once restrictions were relaxed.

Pupils from the neighbouring Ararira Springs Primary and Lincoln University students helped plant

2600 native trees and plants, working alongside contractors Burnside Contracting, McLenaghan

Contracting and Natural Habitats.

Some existing plants and trees have been retained to blend with the native species supporting the

stream’s vibrant population of native fish and birds, Council Biodiversity Officer Andy Spanton says.

“We’re trying to do it in a way that it will look like what you would have found here 200 years ago.”

Tennyson Street reopens

The newly upgraded section of Tennyson Street through the Rolleston Town Centre has reopened.

Work began in January to upgrade the road to a people-friendly high street, with wider pavements, fresh

planting, seating, landscaping and lighting. Infrastructure for the town centre development is also being

installed. Landscaping and infrastructure work is ongoing and the temporary Markham Way extension

will remain in place for now.

Tennyson Street from the intersection with Rolleston Drive to the northern end of Rolleston Reserve is a

30kmh speed limit to encourage pedestrian and cycle use.

A community day is being planned by businesses in the area for Friday 24 July to celebrate the

reopening on the street.

The work on Tennyson Street is a first step for the new Rolleston Town Centre. It will act as the new

town centre’s spine, with a lively mix of retail, entertainment and community spaces, anchored by Te

Ara Ātea and a town square.

Flying end to Matariki and school holidays

Families are being invited to take part in a fun, flying end to Matariki and the school holidays.

Darfield School international students, Glentunnel School pupils, Lincoln Envirotown, the Two Rivers

Trust and the Council have all banded together to support the Selwyn Kite Day.

The making and flying of manu tukutuku (kites) is a traditional part of Māori celebrations for Matariki.

Kite making is an important part of celebrations in many cultures. For Matariki celebrations this year the

Council has joined with community groups and schools, embracing the multicultural love of kites, with

videos showing families how to make kites at little or no cost.

Darfield High School international students from Japan, Thailand

and Germany have worked with Lincoln Envirotown to create a

video with instructions on how to make a kite out of bamboo canes

and repurposed plastic bags.

Pupils at Glentunnel School and volunteers from the Two Rivers

Community trust produced video guides on making two versions of

a Māori manu taratahi (a triangular shaped kite).

Families are encouraged to use the videos to make their own kites

and join others across the district in flying them on Kite Day on

Sunday 19 July from 1pm. Two Rivers Trust will also be hosting a

kite flying event at Darfield Domain from 3pm on the day.

To learn about how to make your kite visit selwyn.govt.nz/matariki.

Youth Fund supporting rangatahi

Traditional games and Top Town challenges were part of a first

Tamariki Day for Ngāi Te Ruahikihiki ki Taumutu.

Ngāi Te Ruahikihiki ki Taumutu hosted the day, for young people

associated with the rūnanga at the start of the year. The day

was supported by the Selwyn Youth Project Fund, which is open

for applications.

A group of 120 young people attended the event at Te Pā o Moki,

supported by Sports Canterbury and University of Canterbury

Masters students. They enjoyed games and challenges designed to

foster health, relationships and cultural understanding, Te Taumutu

Rūnanga chairperson Liz Brown says.

“We were blessed with beautiful weather when we split into two

groups for Top Town challenges at Awhitu House and traditional

games at Te Pā o Moki. Our focus of the day was tamariki and

rakatahi wellbeing, being active within our environments.

“We had our friends from Selwyn Libraries attend with the Edge

Connector Vehicle, this allows our tamariki to register to be a

member of Selwyn Libraries. What a great day for all Ngāi Te

Ruahikihiki ki Taumutu whānau!"

Up to $5,000 in funds is available from the Selwyn Youth Project

Fund, run by the Youth Council to support groups and individuals

with events or activities that support the wellbeing of youth in Selwyn.

So if you have a cool idea, or a plan in place (big or small) to deliver

something great for the community, the Selwyn Youth Council is

keen to hear from you.

For criteria and to apply visit selwyn.govt.nz/youthcouncil or email

youth.council@selwyn.govt.nz if you have any questions.

ON THE

ROADS

On the roads

Due to the Lowes Road and Tennyson Street

intersection upgrade, Lowes Road is one way on both

As part of our Selwyn Open campaign we’re profiling some of the many excellent businesses local to

you. You can find these businesses on the Selwyn Business Directory at selwyn.govt.nz/directory.

This week we talk to Shelley Bakker from Recycle Recreate.

Ever wondered what happens to bouncy castles at the end of their life? Mostly they end up in landfill

or the ocean. But in the hands of Recycle Recreate founder Shelley Bakker, they become bags, wallets

and pouches.

A Prebbleton resident of 14 years, Shelley has always had a passion for creating and being sustainable.

Starting with making produce bags under her brand Bags Not Plastic, she now sells a range of recycled

products internationally, at the Lincoln and Prebbleton markets, and even delivers some by bike.

Shelley has a passion for finding these materials, at second hand stores, blind makers, seatbelt

replacers and other contacts.

A red seatbelt from a Porsche is now a wallet, old tents get turned into ponchos, air bags from shipping

containers become frost covers and those panniers attached to Shelley’s delivery bike used to be

billboard signs.

“I try to use as much as I can of each material. Some of my items are just one-offs. I like the excitement

of making something totally new and unique.”

By buying local you support Selwyn families and reduce your carbon footprint, she says.

“It’s the sustainable side of shopping locally because you’re

buying quality local made goods that are going to last,

compared to super cheap things from overseas.”

From supporting school fundraisers to helping run a popular

clothing swap and organising the Prebbleton Market, Shelley is

active in her community and continually sharing her message

about sustainability.

“My main thing is keeping stuff out of landfill and educating

people. Most people think it’s impossible to aim for zero waste,

however if every person just changed one thing, it will make a

huge difference.”
