MAX HAS no injuries after being 

stuck high up in a tree, but the 

same can not be said of his human 

rescuers. 

The 13-year-old fluffy tabby was 

chased by dogs that were visiting at 

his West Melton home, taking cover

chosen 


ROLLESTON’S NEW secondary 

school campus will be sited near 

Faringdon. 

The Ministry of Education is 

set to open the new campus 

in 2025, and is holding public 

meetings to consult on two 

options for the site – a new 

independent state year 9 to 13 

secondary school with its own 

enrolment zone, or a second 

campus of Rolleston College. 

It will be sited near Lemonwood 

Grove School. 

For the first option, the new 

school would have its own identity, 

governance and uniform. 

Principal consultant Dr 

Gabrielle Wall at D and G 

Consulting, which the ministry 

has contracted to consult on the 

two options, said it is currently 

too early to know specific details 

of what the school will look like 

and how it will operate. 

“All these features would be 

informed by the community 

down the line,” she said.

“My painting process usually 

begins with a single object. 

Following several preparatory 

sketches. I then start the 

process of adding other images, 

as well as fabricated bits and 

pieces. Using a combination of 

fabricated tromp l’oeil paper 

objects and the underlying 

painted surface, I hope to 

create work that is both 

completely familiar and yet

work resonates with both the Black on Black - John Emery

imagined potential of others. As an American down under

SPRINGFIELD station is a 

picturesque stop on one of the 

world’s great train journeys, the 

Tranzalpine. 

But the station has been looking 

a little tired lately, and in 

need of a spruce-up. 

Springfield 

resident Simon 

Williams has 

come to the rescue, 

getting in 

touch with the 

station’s owner 

KiwiRail to see 

what could be

Williams 

done. 

He has long 

been a fan of 

the large 1966 pink Summerhill 

stone gable building, as well as 

the railway history it represents. 

The area’s first station harks 

back to 1880 and in later years 

became an important locomotive 

depot. 

“I believe we need to honour 

the 140 years or so of railway 

people who worked in Springfield,” 

Williams said. 

The refurbishment is well 

under way, with builders on site. 

Replacement of rotten window 

sills, guttering and clear plastic 

verandah roofing has been 

undertaken, while gutter leaks 

on the roof have been repaired. 

Painters will be on site soon, 

to attend to wooden window 

frames and doors. 

One of the more unusual jobs 

of the refurbishment will be relocating 

a colony of bees, believed 

to have taken up residence in the 

wall cavity of a locked switching 

room. 

Bees have been noticed flying 

to and fro from holes in the 

exterior of the room’s windows, 

Williams said. 

Kirwee Bees was to relocate the 

bees to another site, he said. 

The large station was once

bustling with activity, and has

Williams said it was great to 

see the station being preserved, 

and it made it all the more valuable 

to the community if it wanted 

to use it in the future. He would 

ultimately like to see a display of 

memorabilia and artefacts there, 

relating to the region’s railway 

history. 

Various groups have utilised

years, including a play group, 

craft group and gym, as well as 

businesses such as a cafe and 

plant shop. 

The Transzalpine stops at the 

station to pick up and drop off 

passengers, which has not been 

happening as much since the 

Covid-19 pandemic. 

Williams was looking forward 

to the station becoming busier 

again, once New Zealand’s borders 

opened. 

“It will look great, and I’m so 

pleased Kiwirail have done this 

work,” he said.

ROD DOWLER fears for his and 

his family’s future as Canterbury 

Coal prepares to close. 

The 62-year-old is a heavy machinery 

operator at the Bathurst 

Resources mine, and is among 

35 employees who will lose their 

jobs within the next 12 months 

as a result of the closure. 

Dowler and his wife Suzanne 

are bringing up their four grandchildren, 

aged 

11 to 19, and 

he needs an 

income to 

support them. 

“I have been 

working in 

South Island 

coal mines 

Rod Dowler 

since 1975, 

where am I going 

to get work doing bulk earthworks, 

the job I love so much, at 

the age of 62?” Dowler said. 

He said he and fellow employees 

had been shocked to learn 

of the closure, believing the 

company had been on track in its 

efforts to continue operating and 

expanding the mine. They were 

told by management at a full 

staff meeting on February 10. 

“Everyone was prepared for 

another 10 to 12 years, but the 

consent process just never happened 

and this is the result,” he 

said. 

“I don’t blame the company, 

they have tried their best. For 

every one job lost in mining, a 

further five jobs go in the community, 

so when we stop working 

that’s another 175 people in 

the community who have to look 

for work as well.” 

Bathurst has blamed the cost 

of regulatory processes for the 

closure. 

“I was planning on working til 

68 or 70, that’s when the youngest 

of the grandkids have finished 

school basically. Do I move 

away and live in a caravan in a 

campground and send money 

home or do I go overseas?” 

Dowler said if he was offered 

a transfer within the company, 


Uncertain future for 

worker when mine closes 

this could be to Auckland or 

Hamilton. His preferred option 

would be to get heavy machinery 

work locally, but he understood 

such jobs were limited. 

“I love my bulldozers, I love 

my diggers, I will consider any 

bulldozer or digger work, as long 

as I’m busy,” Dowler said. 

Dowler’s job at Canterbury 

Coal is driving a 100-tonne digger 

to take the overburden from 

on top of the coal, and the stones 

in seams, away and load it into 

trucks. He does big days, leaving 

his home at Rolleston at 5.45am, 

being transported to Coalgate 

for a 10.75 hour day, five days a 

week, and getting home in the 

evening about 6.15pm. 

“I love working. What’s that 

saying – I don’t work to live, but 

live to work, that’s me,” he said.

Meetings planned 

to gather feedback 

• From page 1 

The current Rolleston College 

home zone would be adjusted to 

allow for the new school’s zone. It 

is likely that neither school would 

take out-of-zone students, as is 

current practice in the Rolleston 

area. Out-of-zone students 

already at Rolleston College and 

their younger siblings could continue 

to attend the college. 

The southern area encompassed 

in the new secondary 

school zone is expected to experience 

rapid growth due to residential 

growth and the movement of 

large cohorts into secondary year 

levels. The school would have a 

starting roll of about 500 pupils. 

For the other option of two 

campuses for Rolleston College, 

one site would be a junior campus 

and the other would be a senior 

campus. The new proposed site is 

about 2km from the college. 

The first stage in this engagement 

process showed a preference 

for these campuses to be year 9 

to 10 and year 11 to 13. Another 

potential split is year 9 to 11 and

year 12 to 13, which is the option 

favoured by Rolleston College. 

College management believe 

this later would better align with 

NCEA changes and would give 

year 11 students leadership opportunities. 

There will be three public 

meetings to gather feedback

His owner Liz Platt, and 

then soon after the fire 

brigade, responded to his 

yowls for help. Platt was left 

with concussion, while one 

of the firefighters sustained 

claw marks to his arm. 

The incident began on 

February 14, when Platt 

had four dogs and their 

owners over for a play date. 

Max was sleeping away the 

afternoon in bushes in the 

backyard when the dogs 

sniffed him out. 

Platt said she saw some 

sort of commotion in the 

bushes, before Max escaped 

and ran up the tree. 

Once everyone had left 

for the afternoon, Platt 

applied herself to coaxing 

Max down. However, he appeared 

wedged between two 

branches at the top, more 

than 4m from the ground. 

As Max meowed for help, 

she was concerned for his 

welfare, particularly with 

his renal failure condition.

too well if he had been 

stuck up there overnight,” 

Platt said. 

Platt put a ladder against 

the tree and climbed up. 

“I don’t know what I was 

thinking,” Platt said. 

The ladder moved sideways 

and she held onto 

branches as her feet slid 

off, then she lost her grip. 

She hit her head along the 

trunk of the tree as she slid 

down, before falling the 

rest of the way onto the 

ground. 

“And the cat didn’t move, 

the cat just looked at me, 

no concern shown whatsoever,” 

Platt said. 

She phoned the West 

Melton fire station. Soon a 

fire appliance and several 

firefighters were on the 

scene. 

A couple of the firefighters 

climbed on top of a 

nearby fence to access the 

tree. Firefighter Tim Morris 

got to the top. He managed 

to extract Max, who was 

hissing as he was passed 

downwards, ultimately 

into the grasp of firefighter 

Bryan Saywood on the 

ground.

explaining he was left with 

claw marks on his left arm 

as Max launched off him 

and ran away. 

Platt thanked the firefighters 

before searching 

high and low for Max, 

finding him about one hour 

later, about 5.30pm, hiding 

under her bed. 

Platt is recovering well 

after the ordeal, taking one 

week off work on doctor’s 

advice after she was diagnosed 

with concussion the 

following day. She said Max 

was a little traumatised 

after the ordeal, but otherwise 

well. 

Max was up to his antics 

again late last week. He 

wrenched himself from 

Platt’s arms, scratching her 

finger and taking off over 

the fence, when the Selwyn 

Times visited.

SPRINGSTON resident Mike 

Glover is more concerned than 

ever about nitrates in drinking 

water following the results of a 

landmark study. 

New Zealand’s first study into 

nitrate levels in 

the country’s 

drinking water 

has revealed 

about 800,000 

Kiwis – or one in 

six – are drinking 

water polluted 

by nitrate 

levels that can increase the risk 

of getting colorectal cancer. 

Glover’s water has five milligrams 

a litre of nitrate-nitrogen, 

which is within “safe” limits in 

New Zealand. However, much 

lower levels have been linked to 

bowel cancer in at least seven 

international studies. 

So two years ago, Glover 

turned off his tap. Every week 

since, he has driven up the road 

to collect safe drinking water for 

his family, he told Newshub. 

“Studies suggest it’s way higher 

above a level that will potentially 

cause cancer,” Glover said. 

“It’s just not worth the risk. 

“It’s only going to get worse, 

there’s a hell of a lot more nitrate 

to come down.” 

A testing site at Lincoln University 

found others in the same 

boat, Newshub reported, with 

many people testing at similar or 

higher nitrate levels to Glover. 

Nitrate fertiliser is used in 

intensive farming systems 

and enhances plant growth. 

It can sink into underground 

waterways with rain and 

irrigation, as well as through 

animal urine. 

Otago University health 


Concern over nitrates in water 

Mike Glover 

STUDY: One in six Kiwis are drinking water which puts them at higher risk of colorectal 

cancer due to nitrate levels. 

researcher Tim Chambers, a coauthor 

of the study, said it was 

one of the first pieces of research 

to pull together a nitrate 

contamination data set and look 

at the issue. 

“It’s concerning because we 

do have high levels of nitrates 

in our drinking water, and 

it’s likely to get higher with 

dairy intensification,” he told 

Newshub. 

Fellow co-author Mike Joy 

said New Zealand had the 

highest rates of colorectal cancer 

in the world, and the highest 

rates within New Zealand 

correlated to where those high 

nitrate levels are in groundwater 

and drinking water.

OUR PEOPLE – MARK JACKSON 

Life as a drag queen is all about being 

Mark Jackson of Lincoln 

bought his first pair of 

heels seven years ago, 

and has never looked 

back. Having been 

inspired to become 

a drag queen by 

the musical Priscilla 

Queen of the Desert, 

today the 32-year-old 

supermarket worker 

talks to reporter Susan 

Sandys about his life as 

Lady Bubbles 

Tell me all about yourself 

I was born and raised in 

Lincoln. I’m quite a creative 

person, like a big kid at heart. 

As well as doing the whole drag 

thing, I work full-time and I 

run the largest bouncy castle 

hire company in Christchurch. 

I think it was maybe 2007 when 

I came across Priscilla Queen of 

the Desert, went to the musical 

up in Auckland, with friends, 

and we loved it so much we flew 

to Sydney to see it again the next 

year. 

I started drag in 2014 when 

I bought my first pair of heels. 

I’ve always been able to walk in 

a pair of heels without any kind 

of practice, just like an absolute 

natural. I sort of started off from 

TRANSFORMATION: Mark Jackson is a supermarket worker and business operator by day, 

and a drag queen by night. 

there, collecting a few things, 

trying it out and everything, 

and then professionally doing 

it from about three years ago. I 

started really getting out there 

and putting the money into it, 

because it costs so much money. 

It’s like a transformation 

for me in the art form, it’s 

something that I look at now 

and I regret not doing drama 

and stuff like that when I was at 

school, like it could have helped 

me a lot now. 

When you put on the wig 

and the eyelashes and stuff like 

that, it’s like you become just 

a completely different person. 

When you are so far through 

your makeup, something all of a 

sudden just clicks, for me it is the 

art form and the performance, 

you are just making people 

happy. 

Like on a Friday or Saturday 

night I can not walk anywhere 

near the Strip, you know Oxford 

Tce, or anything like that, unless 

I have a spare like hour . . . just 

the amount of people that come 

running up to you, somebody 

gets a photo then somebody 

else wants a photo. It just takes 

up so much time. 

What do you spend the 

money on? 

A decent wig will cost you 

anywhere between $300 to $900, 

and that’s cheap. Otherwise you 

can go right up to like $2500. 

Just a simple pair of shoes and 

everything like that, because I 

buy my shoes locally, and I buy 

a special brand of shoes called 

Pleaser. They are a lot stronger, 

they are performing shoes. I buy 

those locally from a lady in West 

Melton. She brings them in, they 

can be anything from $100 to 

$300 a pair. Basically by the time 

I’m completely ready, when I’ve 

got everything on, I could be 

wearing an outfit that’s $1000- 

plus dollars. 

Is there lots of sequins and 

feathers involved? 

Definitely lots of sequins and 

feathers. Ninety per cent of what 

I wear is made by myself or my 

mother, because I am a little bit 

bigger it is easier to make it, than 

it is to buy it. 

Is it solely a performance 

identity, or are you transgender 

yourself? 

No, I identify as gay male, I go 

with the pronouns “his, him, he.” 

As Lady Bubbles I am “her, she” 

and I can’t remember what the 

other one is, I go by the female 

pronouns.

feminine, very loud and super campy 

There’s a difference between 

transgender and drag. Drag is 

performance, it’s male dressing 

up as female, which is cross 

dressing and stuff like that, but 

it is performance. Like I don’t go 

home and dress up or anything 

like that for fun, because it takes 

three hours to get ready, so I 

don’t have anything that I want 

to be female or anything like 

that. It is purely the art of drag 

and the art of performance. 

What do you like about it so 

much? 

It’s like an escape from reality, 

as I say, I put on the wig, put on 

the eyelashes and the lipstick. I 

generally have my nails done all 

the time, I always have acrylic 

nails. You put on an outfit, it’s 

the wow factor for me, you go out 

and people say: ‘Oh my god, it’s a 

drag queen.’ 

It’s an escape for you, and for 

them as well? 

Yes, that’s what I like, is being 

able to make people happy. 

Christchurch is not like 

Wellington and Auckland, we 

don’t have a drag scene, there is 

no drag scene in Christchurch. 

So I work with another friend 

of mine, he’s just recently come 

back from Sydney, and I own 

a business called Drag It Out 

Entertainment. So between him 

and I, we are actually trying to 

ESCAPE: Jackson has no background in performing, but as soon as he dresses in drag, 

something just “clicks.” 

bring drag to the mainstream 

here in Christchurch. So we run 

a lot of bingo nights and stuff 

like that, where people can come 

along and win cash prizes and 

things like that, we call it Balls N 

Bingo. And we also have a show 

coming up, like a massive big 

show that we are actually pulling 

queens down from Auckland 

for, on the second of April called 

Retro Glam, and we expect to run 

drag competitions here. 

You have the event, Drag 

Queen Storytime, coming up 

at Lincoln Library in March, 

to celebrate Pride Week (for 

children pre-school age and 

older, featuring books about 

diversity, acceptance, inclusion 

and kindness). Did Selwyn 

Libraries approach you for that? 

(Selwyn Libraries) put a post 

out on the local (Facebook) 

community page, looking for 

artistic people for some Pride 

events and stuff like, I just put a 

picture of me up there and said: 

‘If you ever need a drag queen for 

anything, let me know,’ and that’s 

how I got that. You’ve got to put 

yourself out there, the harder you 

work the more work you will get. 

Rainbow storytime comes with 

its pros and cons, you are always 

going to get that one person who 

doesn’t agree with it and doesn’t 

see that it’s okay. 

Do you think acceptance 

and diversity is an important 

message to get across to 

children? 

I think it is, like – you be who 

you want to be. You know, like 

it is not up to somebody else to 

mould that for you. I feel like 

in this day and age if somebody 

is trans or something like that, 

people should be accepting of 

everyone whoever and however 

they want to express themselves, 

it is super important. 

Reading to children will be a 

lot different to your adult drag 

events? 

So basically the bingo, yes it is 

very, very . . . not filthy, but it’s 

pretty out there. It is for an adult 

audience, they are not general 

everyday calls, they are raunchy . . . 

really it’s like smut, but that’s what 

people want when they come and 

see a drag queen. But for a kid (at 

children’s events) it’s completely 

visual for them, because they don’t 

understand. And that’s where you 

can teach them acceptance and 

everything like that, because you 

can’t judge from what I look like on 

the outside as to who I am on the 

inside. 

When I do rainbow storytime, 

I’m going to have a humungous 

wig on, a massive big pink dress, 

like not polygraphic, but the 

shiny latex pink dress, with the 

big organza frill all around it, and 

everything like that, it’s going to 

be a great day. 

There’s a quiz night that Selwyn 

Libraries has as well (Drag King 

and Queen Quiz Night, March 4, 

Lincoln Event Centre), that I am 

running with a friend of mine 

called Tony Chestnut. He’s a 

drag king, so that’s a female who 

basically tapes down her boobs 

and dresses up as a male.

OUR PEOPLE 

• From page 9 

Was it specifically seeing 

Priscilla Queen of the Desert 

that motivated you to dress in 

drag? 

Yes, because when I saw it 

on stage it was the art of the 

queen coming on and wearing 

all the different outfits, and the 

glam and the glitter. And Lady 

Bubbles loves to be glamorous, 

and you know, also loves to be 

fun and out there and really 

bubbly, but very loud. 

So that show completely 

changed your life? 

Yes, how I describe myself as 

a drag queen, is very feminine, 

very loud and super campy. 

Camp is basically really 

colourful. I like the old style of 

drag, you know the big eyes, 

the glitter, I’m not into the 

mainstream drag that you see 

now coming off RuPaul’s Drag 

Race. 

Does Lady Bubbles have a 

whole persona and life, do you 

have to create some sort of 

depth to the character? 

No, I know that my friend 

Tony Chestnut does, so he’s 

divorced and he has a whole 

storyline. I haven’t with Lady 

Bubbles. 

Your name in real life and 

your day job is? 

Mark Jackson, I’m 32, I work 

in retail, at Prebbleton Fresh 

Choice. I got made redundant 

because of the Covid thing 

(last year, from my former 

job, at) Craddocks Car Storage 

at the airport. I also operate 

Around a Bounce bouncy 

castle hire, Inflated Balloon 

Decorating and Drag It Out 

entertainment. 

In being a drag queen, 

do you have to be a bit of a 

stand-up comic, you must be 

a naturally funny person are 

you? 

I am to a point, but you know, 

you have to be quick off the 

cuff, like real quick. One of my 

favourite sayings right now and 

when I’m out in town is “All 


‘You have to be quick off the cuff’ 

GLAMOUR: 

Lady 

Bubbles 

loves to 

socialise 

with friends, 

including 

Miss 

Shaniqwa. 

noodles are straight until they 

get wet.” 

You have that natural 

performance ability, where do 

you think that comes from? 

I don’t really know, because 

everyone in my family, no-one’s 

really creative. 

What high school did you go 

to? 

Lincoln High School. 

And as you say you didn’t do 

performance or drama? 

No, my main interest at high 

school was horticulture. No, 

nothing that I did at school 

relates to anything that I do now. 

BACKYARD CRITTERS 

Mike Bowie is an ecologist who specialises in 

entomology (insects and other invertebrates). Each 

week he introduces a new species found in his 

backyard at Lincoln. His column aims to raise public 

awareness of biodiversity, the variety of living things 

around us. Check out the full list of invertebrates 

found at www.inaturalist.org/projects/backyardbiodiversity-bugs-in-my-lincoln-section 

Slimy, predatory worm 

TERRESTRIAL flatworms are 

colourful, slimy, legless, slug-like 

invertebrates found in moist 

locations against the soil surface. 

THey are easily differentiated 

from earthworms as they are 

smoother, flatter, and lack the 

segments or rings along their 

body. However, flatworms do 

have the upper hand as they eat 

earthworms. 

New Zealand has many species 

of native flatworms as well as the 

Australian species Australoplana 

sanguinea. This Aussie species is a 

brownish red to buff colour on its 

upper surface, and tinged with a 

deep, peach to blood-red towards 

its head.The species can reach 

75mm in length and is slightly 

domed in cross-section. 

The narrow-pointed head end 

is more extendable than the rear 

end, and has a fine row of black or 

brown dots that are light-sensitive 

cells or primitive eyes. The pharynx 

or mouth is on the underside, 

about a third of its length from 

the head. When feeding, this is 

pushed out to engulf earthworms 

and secretes digestive fluids to aid 

consumption. 

Eggs can be seen inside gravid 

adults. Once laid, eggs develop 

from a dull red to a shiny black 

colour, when the chitinous 

eggshell cures. One to four baby 

flatworms emerge from each egg 

and are paler in colour than the 

adults. 

Both Australoplana sanguinea 

and a New Zealand species 

(Arthurdendyus trianagulatus) 

established in the British Isles in 

the 1970s. 

Their predatory nature is 

having a detrimental effect on 

the European earthworm community 

and ultimately the soil 

quality. There is some evidence 

that earthworm-eating moles in 

western Scotland disappeared 

after the New Zealand flatworm 

established there.

Supporting the Community 

An exciting, new barbecue trailer has recently been designed and built, 

with the Selwyn and Waimakariri communities in mind. Mark Terry 

previously worked for PGG Wrightson Real Estate, in Blenheim and 

relocated to PGG Wrightson Real Estate, Darfield in July 2020. Being 

new to the area, the trailer was a brain wave idea, to help locals in our 

community and in turn give Mark’s business some profile. He engaged 

with close friend, Glen McKay an engineer based in Oxford, to design 

and build the trailer. Shortly after starting the process, Mark entered a 

business partnership with Karen Hennessy, (who already works in real 

estate, with PGG Wrightson Darfield) offering a unique male/female 

team approach to real estate, in the Selwyn/Waimakariri districts. 

The trailer is available for use to anybody in the Selwyn or Waimakariri 

district – including clubs, individuals, companies, field days, shows, sports 

events etc. Bookings must be made via Mark or Karen and a small bond will 

need to be paid, which will be refunded upon the trailer returning in the 

same condition as it was hired. All parties who make use of the trailer are 

able to make a donation; any funds accumulated from donations will then 

be distributed back into the local community on a regular basis.

Leeston-Southbridge still near top-of-table 

AN ULTRA-aggressive Sefton 

chased down an imposing 

Oxford-Rangiora total to 

highlight the latest round of the 

Canterbury Country premier 

one-day competition. 

More than 500 runs were 

amassed at Sefton Domain on 

Saturday, while there were also 

wins for Leeston-Southbridge, 

Weedons and Cheviot. 

At Darfield Domain, the home 

side were skittled for 122 by a 

cohesive Leeston-Southbridge attack, 

with opener Liam Foulkes 

the only meaningful contributor 

with 45. 

Dougald Munro’s 2/16 from 

nine overs summed up a disciplined 

bowling display before 

Leeston-Southbridge cruised to 

a seven-wicket victory with more 

than 15 overs remaining. 

Oxford-Rangiora batted first 

against Sefton and made 267/6 

in their allotted 45 overs, thanks 

largely to a swashbuckling innings 

from Luke Waghorn. 

Waghorn cracked 90 from 47 

balls against the competition 

leaders, a swashbuckling knock 

studded with seven boundaries 

and five sixes. 

He was well-supported by 

opener Calvin Scott (54 runs off 

87), Lachie Stove (46 off 55) and 

Dave Fulton’s unbeaten 44. 

Unfazed by the asking rate, 

Sefton’s chase got off to an ideal 

start with openers McKenzie 

Smith (54 off 44) and Chris 

Warner (70 off 78) compiling to 

post 110 in 15.3 overs. 

Canterbury seam bowler 

Fraser Sheat, batting at four, then 

smashed 72 off 48 deliveries and 

Matt Laffey made an unbeaten 

64, the pair producing a 118-run 

stand to get Sefton home by eight 

wickets with four overs to spare. 

At Weedons Domain, paceman 

Jono Green bagged a five 

wicket haul as Southbrook 

bowled out the home side for just 

IN CONTROL: 

Leeston- 

Southbridge 

batsman Harry 

Chamberlain 

scored 34 on 

Saturday. Seen 

here playing a 

straight drive 

for Canterbury 

Country last 

year. 

171, former Canterbury wicketkeeper 

Paul Rugg top-scored 

with an unbeaten 35. 

Southbrook got off to a solid 

start in their chase, and were sitting 

pretty with ex-Black 

Cap Shanan Stewart and Jack 

Boyle, returning from Canterbury 

duties and a long Super 

Smash campaign, together at the 

crease. 

But when they fell relatively 

cheaply, in quick succession, 

Southbrook’s hunt for just their 

second win of the season faltered, 

and eventually fell 15 runs 

short. 

Hamish D’Arcy led Weedons’ 

attack with an excellent haul of 

5/37. 

Cheviot thumped Lincoln on 

home soil, thanks to a brilliant 

century from Ted Whelan. 

Whelan’s superb 136 off 124 

balls lifted the Magpies to 288 

against Lincoln, Hugh Paterson’s 

admirable 6/49. 

Paterson also contributed with 

the bat, falling just short of a 

half-century, while his brother 

Arthur also weighed in with 48. 

But the siblings had scant 

support before Lincoln slumped 

to a 105-run loss inside 35 overs. 

Ohoka had the round 16 bye.

Fun in the Sun 

Come and join the Little Rakaia Boating 

Club (LRBC) for a fun ‘club day’ in the 

sun on Sunday March 7, 2021. The club 

is once again holding an event to raise 

funds and awareness for the local boat 

ramp re-build. 

Club Day is mainly about events on the 

water, a giant slalom, the poker run and 

the major draw card “– Alpine Airboats 

– will be giving a demonstration of the 

Airboat and taking passengers for rides 

through-out the day. 

There will be jet boat rides, bouncy 

castle, BBQ food, a cake stall, coffee 

and soft drinks along with the everpopular 

chocolate wheel offering the 

usual whitebait and chocolate, and 

other more significant prizes to spin 

for. Visitors are also reminded to bring 

cash on the day as there is no EFTPOS 

available. 

Final stage for boat ramp rebuild 

getting closer 

Having completed the first and second 

stages of the re-build in 2018, raising the 

funds for the final stage has been the 

priority for the club of the last two years. 

The club has managed to raise 85% 

of the funds required to date but still 

requires another $40 to $50K to enable 

them to begin and complete the final 

stage. 

The fundraising for the final stage was 

given a great kick off when the club was 

chosen as the recipient of the funds 

raised by the Ellesmere Lions and their 

annual charity golf day held at the 

Ellesmere Golf Course. The $35,000 

donated to the club from the Lions 

Group was considered the catalyst to 

start the next round of fund raising. 

Further funds have come from the 

RATA Foundation, $30,000 and the 

Lotteries Grant Board, $145,000. The 

club is grateful to these organizations 

for their support with thanks also going 

to Sarah Wylie Social Research. Sarah’s 

professional approach in helping the 

club with the preparation of the funding 

applications was outstanding. 

The balance of the funds in hand has 

come from the club member’s annual 

subscriptions, fundraising, member and 

community donations. 

The club is thankful that it exists in the 

NZ environment where volunteers are 

the life blood of communities and is very 

grateful for all the help it has received. 

Without the help and backing from 

local businesses, the local and wider 

community none of the funding would 

have been possible. 

The Little Rakaia Boating Club looks 

forward to welcoming visitors to Little 

Rakaia Huts to enjoy a day in the sun 

and to watch or participate in the events 

on offer for the day. If you have any 

questions regarding the day, Graeme 

Patterson on 027 577 2257 or email:

Te Ara Ātea and town centre to 

promote accessibility and inclusion 

Te Ara Ātea, Selwyn's new library and community facility in Rolleston, will be a space that 

promotes community, lifelong learning and meeting new people through a focus on inclusive 

spaces and accessibility. 

The name Te Ara Ātea was gifted to the Council by Te Taumutu Rūnanga, meaning the 

‘unobstructed trail to the world and beyond’. 

The concept of unobstructed movement has been a key part of the design approach to the 

building – with an emphasis on accessibility within its distinct spaces. 

The surrounding area outside the building and on the edge of the Rolleston town centre will 

contain a sensory space and garden which engages all the senses – sight, touch, sound, smell 

and taste. 

It will feature pergolas, raised gardens for easy access, sound and colour features and edible plants. 

Council Landscape Architect Dylan Robinson says that it’s about providing an enduring space 

that the whole community can enjoy, including those with diverse needs. 

“The sensory space and garden will be a special place for connecting and meeting new people. 

There are a lot of possibilities there for our community.” 

Inside the building, the Council has partnered with Waitaha School in Rolleston to design suitable 

bathroom facilities for people with disabilities. 

The bathrooms at Te Ara Ātea will contain specialised equipment such as ceiling hoists and adultsized 

change tables and provide space for those who require carers to assist them. 

Council Property Project Manager Joanne Nikolaou says that the partnership is one component of 

a wider approach to accessibility and inclusion at Te Ara Ātea. 

“This work is really important to establish Te Ara Ātea as a place which promotes diversity and 

equal access,” says Joanne. 

In addition to traditional library services, Te Ara Ātea will house the bookable community spaces, 

a studio and workshop space, art exhibition areas and displays of historical items from across the 

district including taonga from Te Taumutu Rūnanga. 

The 2,200 square metre Tennyson Street building will open later this year. 

Ten years on – a reflection from Mayor Sam 

As Christchurch and Selwyn was dusting itself down in the wake of a 7.1 magnitude earthquake in the 

heart of the Canterbury plains, tragedy struck at the very centre of Te Wai Pounamu’s largest city. 

Unlike the September 2010 earthquake centred on Darfield, damage was not limited to just bricks and 

mortar. The events that unfolded on Tuesday 22 February 2011 at 12:51 pm are etched in our minds 

and on our hearts and still show across the landscape and skyline of Christchurch today. 

The challenges faced by so many in the minutes, hours, and days after the earthquake were enormous. 

Through news stories the world watched as Christchurch battled courageously to save lives. For too 

many the battle was lost and the challenges of moving forward without loved ones is something friends 

and family still face a decade on. 

On Monday this week I had the privilege of laying a wreath on behalf of the Canterbury Mayoral Forum 

at the Canterbury Earthquake National Memorial, at a moving ceremony to remember the events of that 

day and those who were lost. At the same time our Council staff took time to reflect on the events of 

ten years ago by gathering for a simple moment of silence at our Council offices. I know that there were 

many other people across New Zealand who took time, privately or with others, to mark the moment. 

From piles of rubble on that day emerged great hearts, holding cups of tea, offers of spare rooms, or 

simply a hug. Support and assistance was both national and global and Selwyn played its part with our 

other neighbouring districts. It was this spirit and sense of community that set the foundations on which 

the city of Christchurch was rebuilt. 

Otautahi has risen to the challenge of rebuilding new lives as well as a new city. So as we continue the 

reconstruction journey we do so remembering those who are not here but also celebrating progress 

and looking to the future with optimism. 

New modelling shows Selwyn 

safer from tsunamis 

A new report from GNS Science has shown that Selwyn is safer 

from tsunamis than previously thought. 

The Council has revised the district’s tsunami zones in response to 

the report, commissioned by Environment Canterbury. 

As a result, a smaller number of households are now in the 

evacuation zone. However, Civil Defence Manager Al Lawn says it is 

still important for people to be prepared in case of tsunamis and of 

earthquakes that can cause tsunamis. 

“It’s good news for us because we’re safer from the wave than we 

thought, but it’s still important that people are ready. If you’re near 

the coast and there’s an earthquake that’s long or strong, get gone. 

Get off the water, get off the beach and get to higher ground.” 

The Council has begun directly informing residents in the affected 

coastal area between the Rakaia River and Banks Peninsula of the 

new zones. 

The report is a timely reminder of the risks we face and the need to 

be prepared for all emergencies, including by signing up to Selwyn 

Gets Ready at selwyn.getsready.net for email and text alerts in 

case of emergencies, Mr Lawn says. 

“A few simple steps can help make things much more comfortable 

for you and your family in an emergency. Take the time now and 

save yourself the stress later by having an evacuation plan and an 

emergency kit including medications and food for pets.”

For most of us our home is our biggest single investment, so it makes sense to protect it by carrying 

out regular maintenance. 

Our building team provides seasonal advice to help you keep on top of maintaining your home. 

First some simple tips: 

· Get to know every aspect of your building. Regularly do a walk around, looking for changes and 

address any issues at the earliest opportunity. 

· Plan exterior maintenance such as painting for spring or autumn when the weather is settled but not 

too hot. 

· Document the maintenance you do, to help with planning what to do next, and provide useful 

information for future owners. It is also a good way to keep up with the regular maintenance required 

for any product warranties on cladding and the like. If you own a new home, all product warranties and 

guarantees should have been provided to you upon completion of the build by the main contractor. 

· Make sure you have the right gear for the job first and plan what you need to complete the job safely 

and successfully. 

For more information visit the Building Research Association of New Zealand website at 

maintainingmyhome.org.nz 

Summer tips 

Do you have a log burner in your home? Get your firewood delivered early and make the most of 

the hot weather to ensure your firewood is dry. Make sure you stack your wood in a shed or well 

away from your home. Never stack firewood under the eaves of your home, particularly if you are 

in a rural area – this is a significant fire risk especially in areas susceptible to wild fires. 

On the Roads 

Waka Kotahi New Zealand Transport Agency has advised that Hoskyns Road will be 

closed at the intersection with State Highway 73 until 28 February for intersection safety 

improvements. A detour via Sandy Knolls Road is in place. 

Walkers Road is reduced to one lane between State Highway 1 and Two Chain Road for seal widening 

work. Pavement repairs are taking place on Bealey Road, Te Pirita Road and West Melton Road. Traffic 

management is in place for these works. 

Dogs day out 

Explore the new dog park at The 

Willows and celebrate Parks Week 2021 

with a sausage sizzle and doggie treats. 

10–2pm, 7 March at The Willows, river 

end of Thompsons Road, West Melton.

FOOD 19 

Versatile rice can be used many ways 

Rice is very much a 

staple food, these 

recipes are simple yet 

tasty and can be served 

as pre-dinner nibbles 

or as part of a meal. 

Arborio rice could be 

substituted for the 

sticky rice. In spite of 

its alternative name of 

‘‘glutinous rice’’, sticky 

rice does not contain 

the form of gluten 

dangerous to those 

with gluten intolerance 

Sticky coconut rice with 

fresh mango 

Serves 4 

Ingredients 

2 cups rice, (glutinous) 

2 cups coconut cream, plus extra 

for garnish 

½ cup sugar 

1 tsp Salt 

2 pandan leaves, (optional) 

2 mangoes, ripe, sliced 

1 garnish sesame seeds 

Directions 

Rinse the rice well. Place in a 

bowl and cover with water up to 

6cm above the rice. Leave to soak 

overnight. 

Drain the rice and place in a 

muslin-lined steamer (or a conical 

Thai rice steamer). 

Cover with a lid, then allow the 

rice to steam over boiling water 

for 30min until it is translucent, 

softened and chewy. While the 

rice is steaming, tip the coconut 

cream into a separate saucepan 

and stir in the sugar, salt and 

pandanus leaves. 

Simmer for about 10min over 

a very gentle heat. Remove from 

the heat, allowing the leaves to 

flavour the sauce. 

When the rice is cooked, 

remove the leaves from the sauce 

and pour most of it over the rice, 

keeping a little for drizzling over 

the completed dish. 

When ready to serve, spoon 

the rice onto individual plates, 

arrange mango slices or cubes 

beside it and garnish with a little 

extra sauce and sesame seeds.

Rice and 

mangoes 

are a perfect 

combination,

Feijoa and lime muffins 

Serves 10 

Ingredients 

3 limes 

60gm butter, (melted) 

2 large eggs 

200gm plain flour 

2½ tsp baking powder 

100gm sugar 

1 cup feijoa, peeled and 

diced(about 6-8) 

Directions 

Preheat the oven to 180 deg C. 

Place paper cup liners in a muffin 

pan. 

Using a zester, take strips of 

zest from one of the limes and 

reserve for the top of the muffins. 

Finely grate the zest of the other 

two and squeeze the juice from all 

three. Tip this into a large bowl 

with the melted butter and eggs. 

Whisk together until light and 

fluffy. Sieve the flour with the 

baking powder and fold gently 

into the mixture with the sugar.

fill the muffin cups three-quarters 

full. 

Sprinkle the tops with a 

little extra sugar and the reserved 

zest.

their environment is sterile like a vets. 

“The earlier the puppy is introduced to 

the grooming process, the easier it will 

be for the puppy, groomer and owner,” 

says Loretta, owner of Luxe Doggy Day 

Spa. “At Luxe, we gently train your puppy 

to adapt at their pace, getting used to all 

the noises, buzzing of clippers, brushing, 

combing and nail clipping.” The end result 

will be a happy 

puppy, groomer 

and owner. 

There is a myth that breeds like 

Labradoodles and Spoodles should only 

be groomed from one year onwards. 

This is not the case. These non-shedding 

breeds will matt up pretty quick and 

90% end up totally shaved short due 

to dense matting. Luxe will advise you 

correctly how often your puppy will need 

grooming. 

Luxe offer gentle grooming for your 

precious dog in Rolleston. They use 

a warm bath, natural shampoo and 

conditioner, gentle warm blow drying, 

brushing, nail trim and haircut and/or 

clip. 

Luxe’s modern purpose built salon is 

located in Rolleston, bringing a relaxing, 

friendly atmosphere for your doggy’s 

grooming experience. They also offer free 

pick up and drop off for our elderly in 

Rolleston.

Dogs die in hot cars 

It takes just 15 minutes. If it’s hot 

outside, it’s sure to be like an oven in 

your car and that heat could be fatal 

for your dog... 

If it’s hot and you’re likely to need to 

leave your dog in the car, it’s kinder 

and safer to leave it at home. Animals 

can sustain brain damage or even die 

from heatstroke in just 15 minutes.

HOT, DRY conditions make 

it a difficult time in the home 

garden. 

Fortunately pip and stone fruit 

are now ripening, and there are 

plenty of summer vegetables to 

be harvested. 



GARDENING 21 

The last few weeks of summer in the garden 

Vege patch 

Well maintained summer 

vegetable gardens will reward 

their owners with an abundance 

of vegetables to harvest including; 

aubergines, beans, cucumbers, 

courgettes, corn, onions, 

peppers, radish, tomatoes, and 

pumpkin. 

Remove summer vegetable 

plants as they finish producing 

crops and start preparing 

the soil for the winter garden. 

At the end of the month, begin 

planting the first of your winter 

vegetable seedlings such as broccoli, 

brussells sprouts, cabbage 

and cauliflower. This will ensure 

a supply of winter vegetables in 

May and June. 

Successive plantings over the 

next few months will help to 

stagger winter harvesting time. 

Prepare the soil thoroughly with 

fresh compost before planting, 

and rotate areas for a variety of 

crops to be grown. 

Summer flowering 

annuals 

For those summer annuals 

that thrive in the heat of summer, 

February provides the best 

month for displays of flowers. 

Every year, garden centres 

increase the variety of seedlings 

available so be adventurous and 

try new flowering annuals in 

your garden or containers. The 

secret to continuous flowering 

is deadheading (removal of the 

finished flower). Keep this up 

during the month and you’ll be 

rewarded with plenty of blooms. 

Time to plant bulbs 

You can begin planting bulbs 

later in the month. Add plenty 

of compost before planting – 

especially if you have heavy 

clay soils. Bulbs do best in a 

well-drained soil and sunny 

position. Plant them in clumps 

to provide a stunning display 

come flowering time. Mark 

BUSY TIME: Strawberries will have finished cropping by now, runners can be detached and planted into new beds. It’s 

now time to plant bulbs for spring colour and trim herbs to stop them taking over the entire planting area. 

the areas with a stake and label 

for at least the first year in the 

ground so you don’t forget what 

you’ve planted or accidentally 

dig them up! Bulbs to be planted 

include anemones, crocus, 

daffodils, freesias, hyacinth, iris, 

lachenalias, nerine, ranunculus, 

tulips and watsonias. 

Fruit tree care 

Late maturing varieties of 

plum and peaches can now be 

harvested. Apples and pears are 

also now ripening, especially 

towards the end of the month. 

Small fruit will now be appearing 

on citrus trees so mulch to help 

to maintain consistent moisture 

levels and to prevent the fruit 

from falling off trees. Regular 

sprays with a copper compound 

will help to prevent the outbreak 

of any fungal diseases. 

Strawberry runners 

With strawberry plants having 

finished cropping, you will start 

seeing a multitude of stolons 

or ‘runners’ growing from the 

main plants. Each ‘runner’ has 

a tiny baby strawberry plant 

on it – some runners can have 

several along their length. These 

are your next season’s plants and 

can be detached and planted into 

newly prepared strawberry beds 

from May onwards. 

Raspberries tasks 

Raspberry canes need to be 

tied up. Remove last season’s 

canes and be selective with new 

seasons canes as they tend to 

put on an enormous amount of 

growth in February. 

Rose care 

It is a difficult month for roses 

with black spot and rust now becoming 

prevalent on many rose 

varieties. Continue to ‘deadhead’ 

and carry out a light summer 

prune to encourage air movement 

through the rose bush. 

Towards the end of the month, 

apply a light side dressing of rose 

fertiliser. Mulch around rose 

bushes with compost to prevent 

the soil from drying out. 

Let the lawns grow 

Many lawns will look horrendous 

this month – dry and 

cracked! This is part of the yearly 

cycle of lawns in many parts of 

New Zealand. Where mowing 

may be required, don’t mow too 

low. Leaving the lawn slightly 

longer than normal cools the 

grass roots and helps retain 

moisture from rain or irrigation. 

Only mow when it appears very 

necessary. 

Thriving herbs 

Although many herbs thrive in 

the heat of summer, some will go 

to seed and should be replaced 

with new specimens. Always 

plant more than one specimen of 

your favourite herb so you have 

plenty on hand. With herbs like 

basil, pinch out the growing tips 

to encourage the development of 

a bushy plant. Grow mint in pots 

otherwise they will happily take 

over the entire herb garden.

MY PRIDE AND JOY 

Traditional motoring 

art thrives in Selwyn 

Cam Albon enjoys the 

challenge of creating 

unique works of art 

using his airbrushing 

technique. 

To say that Springfield local Cam Albon 

creates unique works of art on vehicles 

is something this talented pinstripe and 

airbrush artist will not readily admit to. 

He is not only humble in his talent but he 

is also a person who generously shares his 

passion and techniques with others too. 

It all started some years ago when Cam 

watched an airbrush demo at a hotrod 

show. He then took an airbrush course in 

Australia and when he came back to New 

Zealand, Cam began teaching airbrushing 

in Christchurch using a system developed 

Advanced 

Advanced 

by his Australian tutor Tony Vowles. 

Under Tony’s guidance Cam also learnt 

the art of pinstriping, a traditional form 

of line art hand painted onto coaches, 

trucks, hotrods and pony gigs. This meant 

purchasing a range of purpose-designed 

brushes, which have long flat brush heads 

designed to apply the paint in precision 

lines – a steady hand is essential. 

His passion quickly took in lettering 

and led him to attend a Letterheads 

New Zealand event, where signwriters 

and pinstripers come together annually 

Service, 

Upholstery 

to share their love of the craft and their 

experience. Attending the yearly event 

soon boosted Cam’s confidence in his 

work – winning awards, one the first time 

he attended: the Ace Pinstriper award 

two consecutive years for being open to 

sharing his knowledge and a Goldfinger 

award for the application of gold leaf to a 

panel. 

“We had people coming from the US 

and Australia,” says Cam. “Our tutorials 

were more a sharing of information and 

good for those not actively in the industry 

to learn from those who want to pass 

on their knowledge. We’d often have the 

old boys come out of the woodwork, 

usually retired, to share their techniques.” 

However men aren’t the only ones who 

attend; a number of women also take part 

in the events with some doing pinstriping 

too. 

“They’re a great bunch of people,” he 

enthuses, “with a love and a passion to 

keep the traditional techniques alive and 

who also enjoy handing it on. It’s very easy 

to lose those traditions and you can only 

teach yourself so much – everyone does 

something different. Little tricks are often 

learned from someone else.” 

Cam says that there is still a select 

portion of people who want the traditional 

artwork painted by hand as opposed to 

A steady hand 

is needed for 

the delicate art 

of pinstriping. 

the digital options available. While he 

enjoys coming up with designs for people’s 

cars, he also likes to extend his passion 

for creating designs on rusty old saws, 

well-used tool boxes, and most recently he 

painted the back of his wife, Amy’s, leather 

jacket with his Southern Alps Pinstriping 

logo. 

While Cam’s background is in 

construction, he plans to make a living 

from his passion and currently works 

from his studio based in the Delray Auto 

building at 21 McTeigue Road, Halswell. 

He built the studio, with the help of his 

dad, to look like an old shed with timber 

from the old Annat police house. If you’d 

like to know more about Cam’s art work,

Awards won by Cam 

for openly sharing 

his knowledge and 

for the application of 

gold leaf were won at 

the yearly Letterheads

MOTORCARE PROFESSIONALS 

Do you get your car regularly 

serviced? You should. 


Almost everyone has a car these days, 

and some people have two or three. Others 

adore classic cars and are keen to get them 

up and running but not sure where to 

start. Not everyone knows what they need 

to be doing to take care of their vehicles 

properly. Many people simply forget to 

book a service, and because a quality 

service can be expensive others think 

that to save money they’ll skip servicing 

altogether, when that’s the worst thing you 

can do—and it can be costly. 

Get the most out of your car 

If you’re after a one-stop shop for all 

your car maintenance needs, Rolleston 

Diesels and Petrols is the place to go. 

Booking in for regular servicing can cut 

the day-to-day running costs, improve 

fuel efficiency, and reduce general wear 

and tear. Modern vehicles require a good 

deal more care (like manufacturers often 

requiring specialist oil to run properly), 

so a good plan is to book in for an annual 

‘big’ service, with regular small services 

in between to keep on top of things. And 

preventative maintenance is better than 

breaking down. 

Experts who guarantee their 

workmanship 

Rolleston Diesels and Petrols can do 

trucks, cars, servicing, fleet work, boats, 

brakes, wheel alignments, suspension 

work, batteries, cambelts and WOF’s, 

and they work with clients from all over 

Christchurch and Selwyn. They’re experts 

at what they do, provide an honest and 

reliable service—and they 100% guarantee 

their workmanship. 

If you want to know how they can help 

or have questions about what you need 

help with, call them on 03 347 7110 or 

visit their workshop at 839 Jones Road, 

Rolleston. 

Organise a service schedule 

Servicing your car isn’t just changing the 

oil and getting new filters. Your car needs a 

proper look-over by trained professionals 

who understand things like modern onboard 

computers, and emissions gears. 

Without it, you’ll run into problems like 

brakes wearing out or your car overheating 

from a broken fan belt. Regular clients 

at Rolleston Diesels and Petrols often 

plan a servicing schedule that considers 

the mechanics, and the cost. When cost 

becomes the question, alternatives are 

sourced—but they won’t compromise on 

quality. And they’ll always provide options 

and advice on the best solution that works 

for you.

All charged up over plug-in Mini Cooper 

I’VE NEVER owned a Mini, 

but my wife still talks about her 

classic three-door with much 

affection. 

It was an original 60s 

Morris Mini-Minor 850 that had 

travelled more than 60,000 miles 

when she bought it, however, it 

gave her unfaltering service for 

many years. 

My wife is a bit ambivalent 

about the new generation Mini, 

she’s not convinced it’s true to the 

concept of old, but she is excited 

about the latest addition to the 

line-up – a fully electric/plug-in 

Mini. 

We had the $59,900 Mini 

Cooper SE – E for electric – 

during four week days and looked 

at the model as many would – an 

urban commute. For that role it is 

everything you would want from 

today’s electric vehicle and, what’s 

more, it has range, BMW claims a 

233km distance between charges, 

that’s at best usage. 

During our time with the 

evaluation car, the discharge 

graphic was true to the type of 

use I presented it with, easily 

completing our weekly commute 

without charging. Of course, you 

can add charge at any point, but 

for the benefit of the batteries 

letting them complete a full cycle, 

a slow charge is best. However, 

when the need arises it will take 

36min to quick charge to 80 per 

cent. 

It’s fair to say I get anxious 

about range, I’m the type of driver 

who likes to have a full tank, but 

the EV Mini didn’t discharge as 

quickly as I was expecting it to, 

I’m picking that’s a lot to do with 

its smallish stature and lack of 

weight in the car. At 1365kg, it’s 

only around 150kg heavier than 

its petrol-engined counterparts, 

the motor isn’t working hard, 

consequently, there is less battery 

drain. 

Yes, the EV Mini is small at 

under 4m, and with just two side 

doors it represents the values 

of old. It’s a squeeze accessing 

the rear seats, and once in there 

there’s only room for two, there 

are only two seat belts and that’s 

the end of story. Also, with just 

211-litres of cargo storage, those 

who do travel will have to travel 

light, the boot space wouldn’t 

house a Kiddie-family weekly 

grocery shop. 

However, the $59,990 Cooper 

SE is all about the values that 

people want in this age where 

EVs are being touted as the 

way of the future in automobile 

production, it’s a useful addition 

to the part of the market where 

EV purchases satisfy those 

who feel they need to be doing 

something for the environment. 

As an aside, the 2020 New 

Zealand Motoring Writers’ 

Guild car of the year award went 

to an EV – Mercedes-Benz’s EQC 

400 sport utility vehicle to be 

exact. 

The Mini electric is also strong 

from beneath the accelerator. The 

motor is rated at 135kW with 

270Nm of torque available from 

MINI COOPER SE: Fully electric with plug-in recharging. 

a zero point. From a standstill 

it will reach 100km/h in 7.3sec 

and will complete an overtaking 

manoeuvre (80-120km/h) in 

4.8sec. 

These are quick figures, and 

are indicative of the flow of 

energy you get from battery 

power. With that you get a feelgood 

factor from behind the 

wheel, it is lively and encourages 

a spirited drive. 

I also completed a highway 

loop in the evaluation car and 

enjoyed its athleticism and 

immediate flow of power. It 

also handles much like the 

Cooper S of old, it is balanced 

and tight in the chassis, it turns 

directly into a corner and will 

flow through a corner with 

control and dignity. 

True to its original design, 

drive is sent to the front wheels, 

yet it doesn’t make that obvious, 

• Price – Mini Cooper SE, 

$59,990 

• Dimensions – Length, 

3845mm; width, 1727mm; 

height, 1432mm 

• Configuration – Electrosynchronous 

motor, 

135kW, 270Nm, automatic 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 7.3sec 

the cornering feel is neutral and 

the suspension is set up well for 

placement. High quality Good 

Year Eagle F1 tyres also help, at 

205/45 x 17in there is a lot of 

rubber on the surface and those 

tyres feel delightful, I have them 

on my own car and I relate to 

their characteristics. 

There’s been a lot of hype lately 

about the longevity of electric 

vehicles and the cost of battery 

replacement. I’m pleased to 

report that the EV Mini has an 

eight-year battery warranty. That’s 

most reassuring, and during that 

time the car will give you a lot of 

satisfaction. 

There are some compromises 

space-wise, but for two adults 

on a daily basis it is a car which 

competes well with the multitude 

of electric-only models that are 

reaching our shores. 

The Cooper SE is smart and 

has all the bling that BMW has 

built into the Mini since it took 

ownership of the brand, it tempts 

with its level of specification and 

safety elements, and that’s most 

definitely a must for 2021. 

It’s also a car for the Mini 

purist, and for those who, 

like my wife, still relate to the 

cheeky Sir Alec Issigonis design 

that took the world by storm in 

1959.
