Lincoln-raised Alfeld is playing for Perth Glory in the W-League, earning the competition’s Save of the Round award in the team’s first two games (see page 18). The 25-year-old represented New Zealand extensively at youth level through World Cups in Trinidad and Tobago, Azerbaijan and Canada while she also toured the United States, Argentina and Brazil. She has now moved to Western Australia, after the Wellington Phoenix’s bid to join the W-League was blocked late last year. Goals include making this year’s Tokyo Olympics and the World Cup in New Zealand in two years. And it all started way back as a four-year-old via her father Nick, whose friend was a soccer coach. – Barry Clarke NEWS Susan Sandys Ph: 021 914 742 susan.sandys@starmedia.kiwi ADVERTISING Lynette Evans Ph: 364 7434 lynette.evans@starmedia.kiwi news All aboard!

Wednesday February 3 2021 Selwyn Times Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz Petition started against pre-school • By Susan Sandys ABOUT 60 homeowners in a new subdivision are calling for the developer and district council to reassess plans for an early learning centre. A Montessori centre is planned for Flemington’s O’Reilly Rd, Lincoln. But people who live there had always believed the area was for greenspace. Scott Loeffler said he and fellow homeowners were sold lots on or near Lincoln Reserve with the promise that it would not be developed in any other way, with the exception of a cafe or some medium-density housing on the south end. “In the five years since we have bought, no-one has been told of any other development,” Loeffler said. “It was sold both by the agent and the developer as a ‘green development’.” But he and neighbours had heard through the grapevine about the pre-school plans, to take up about half of the greenspace at the reserve. Loeffler and four of his neighbours THEN went door-to-door seeking petition signatures. About 95 per cent of neighbours, totalling about 60 homeowners, were concerned about the proposal and signed the petition, PLANS: An artist’s impression of the Flemington pre-school. which asks the developer Shane Kennedy and the district council to reassess plans for the centre. The neighbours expect traffic and noise issues from the centre, that will have space for more than 100 children. Loeffler said there were already at least eight pre-schools in Lincoln, including two across the road from the Flemington subdivision. He said the district council had issued resource consent for the project, which was nonnotified so neighbours did not have the opportunity to submit feedback. Homeowners were to meet on Monday night to discuss what sort of action they may take. Council resource consent team leader Rosie Flynn said a resource consent was issued for the pre-school in May last year. “The properties where the pre-school and its car park are being built were never vested as reserve, but were retained in private ownership by the subdivision developer,” Flynn said. “The council took legal advice on whether or not the consent should be notified, and the advice was that the covenants signed by the residents when they purchased their properties legally amounted to written approval for the development.” Kennedy did not get back to the Selwyn Times for comment by deadline. NEWS 3 In Brief FORMER FIRE CHIEF DIES Hororata fire brigade members are paying tribute to their former chief Roger Parsons after he passed away peacefully last week. Parsons, 66, died on Wednesday surrounded by family, after losing his long battle with cancer. Brigade chief Bruce Sayer said Parsons’ death would leave a large hole in the brigade and the community. Parsons is survived by wife Gayleen and their children and grandchildren. NO DECISION ON COWS Lincoln University has yet to determine how many cows it will need to cull following Mycoplasma bovis being detected on its research farms. The Ashley Dene Research and Development Station and the Lincoln University Research Dairy Farm have herds comprising more than 700 cows. A spokesperson said research under way at the two farms would need to run its course before a decision was made on depopulating. The cows would also have to have finished being milked for the season. For these reasons, the depopulation process had not yet begun in earnest. Love Your Hearing, Selwyn Hear your favorite summer sounds with clarity and ease.
