Pub’s bid to beat Covid<br />

A double jab<br />

will get you a<br />

beverage or<br />

food voucher<br />

• By Susan Sandys<br />

THE FAMOUS Grouse<br />

Hotel has launched a<br />

Covid-19 vaccine reward<br />

voucher scheme to<br />

encourage patrons to get<br />

double jabbed against the<br />

virus.<br />

About 75 people took<br />

advantage of the scheme at<br />

the pub’s weekly club night<br />

on Tuesday last week.<br />

Upon showing their<br />

Covid-19 vaccine record<br />

card, patrons get the card<br />

laminated and receive a $10<br />

voucher to spend on food<br />

and drink at the hotel.<br />

President of the Lincoln<br />

Club, which operates the<br />

hotel, Lynn Townsend,<br />

said vaccination was the<br />

only way forward out of<br />

the financially devastating<br />

pandemic.<br />

“It’s all about encouraging<br />

people to go and get double<br />

jabbed,” Townsend said.<br />

NO SURPRISES for the best<br />

initiative in the district this<br />

week – The Famous Grouse’s<br />

$10 voucher if you have been<br />

double jabbed (page 1).<br />

The past few days have<br />

seen a bleak Covid picture<br />

in the North Island; which<br />

means dark clouds for us in<br />

the south are just beyond the<br />

horizon.<br />

Lockdowns are brutally<br />

tough on the hospitality<br />

industry and the Grouse has<br />

not been spared.<br />

As Lynn Townsend,<br />

president of the Lincoln<br />

Club that operates the hotel,<br />

says: “Covid is far more<br />

devastating from a financial<br />

point than the earthquake<br />

was.”<br />

Getting double jabbed<br />

gives us a chance to live with<br />

and eventually overcome<br />

the pandemic. That means<br />

businesses staying open and<br />

jobs saved.<br />

Good on the Grouse for its<br />

incentive.<br />

SPRING HAS SPRUNG<br />

Let the team at Airify Christchurch spring clean your heat pump<br />

Spring has finally sprung – and while it’s wonderful to see all the daffodils<br />

and cherry blossoms in bloom, this time of year can be brutal for those of us<br />

with allergies and hay fever!<br />

The Canterbury nor-wester is famous for blowing pollen all over town –<br />

and while heading indoors can seem like the only escape from air-borne<br />

allergens, these microscopic dust and pollen particles can actually build<br />

up in your heat pump over time. Getting your heat pump cleaned every<br />

12-months is the best way to keep the air circulating in your home fresh,<br />

clean and allergen-free – and Airify Christchurch is here to professionally<br />

tick one important job off your spring-cleaning to-do list!<br />

Book your Premium Heat Pump Clean & Service for just $75 by contacting<br />

our friendly local team, or heading online to select a day and time that suits.<br />

THE 150th Ellesmere A&P<br />

Show this weekend is going<br />

ahead in a reduced format in<br />

the face of Covid-19 alert level 2<br />

restrictions.<br />

Organisers are disappointed<br />

they can’t hold the special event<br />

in its full glory, after having to<br />

postpone it from last year.<br />

Yet they have managed to<br />

salvage some of the show in<br />

spite of alert level 2, which last<br />

week resulted in the cancellation<br />

of the famed Canterbury A&P<br />

“We are all quite saddened<br />

by the fact it’s not happening,<br />

it effects the whole community.<br />

It’s the loss of a good day out,<br />

No members of the public<br />

or the association itself, unless<br />

they are exhibitors or competitors,<br />

will be permitted entry to<br />

the reformated event. It will be<br />

held over three days, Friday to<br />

Sunday, at the Ellesmere A&P<br />

Showgrounds at Leeston.<br />

There will be no trade sites,<br />

displays, entertainment or food<br />

stalls. In addition, a number of<br />

sections have been cancelled.<br />

They include shearing, cooking,<br />

hand craft, art, flowers, school<br />

classes (sheds only), wearable<br />

arts, <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s Got Talent and the<br />

Top Team Challenge. A full refund<br />

of entry fees in these classes<br />

will be given after show day.<br />

it was good to see strong entries<br />

POLICE recovered building<br />

materials and tools stolen in more<br />

than 20 burglaries from a Darfield<br />

address last week.<br />

Senior Sergeant Stephen McDaniel<br />

said officers spent Wednesday<br />

and Thursday at the house, going<br />

through tens of thousands of dollars<br />

of items to link them to those<br />

which had been reported stolen.<br />

They included windows, doors<br />

and other buildings supplies, as<br />

well as tools.<br />

“A lot of good work was done by<br />

the officers,” McDaniel said.<br />

“When property is stolen we need<br />

to be able to identify it.”<br />

This confirmation work had to<br />

Even the earthquakes did not<br />

compare to Covid-19, in terms of<br />

its effect on the hotel’s operation,<br />

he said. The historic hotel had to<br />

be demolished and rebuilt after<br />

damage suffered in the September<br />

4, 2010, shake.<br />

“Covid is far more devastating<br />

from a financial point than the<br />

earthquake was,” Townsend said.<br />

Turnover was down at alert<br />

level 2 as the hotel followed<br />

customer social distancing rules.<br />

At the same time, outgoings<br />

such as rent, electricity, rates and<br />

be done onsite, and police could<br />

not confiscate items simply because<br />

they looked stolen.<br />

For this reason, McDaniel urged<br />

people who had their tools or items<br />

stolen from building sites to always<br />

report it to police, providing good<br />

descriptions. Tradespeople should<br />

always engrave tools and record<br />

serial numbers of relevant items.<br />

The person suspected of the<br />

thefts was not at the address when<br />

the search warrant was executed. It<br />

was an ongoing investigation, and<br />

no charges had been laid at this<br />

stage.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> has been hit by a number<br />

of building site thefts in recent<br />

months.<br />

licenses remained. This was following<br />

enforced closures during<br />

lockdowns.<br />

Townsend said the reward<br />

voucher scheme supports the<br />

90% For Canterbury campaign,<br />

which aims to have 90 per cent of<br />

Cantabrians at least partly vaccinated<br />

by Labour Weekend.<br />

“If this can be achieved, it must<br />

go a long way towards convincing<br />

the Government that we should<br />

be at level 1,” he said.<br />

The 37-year-old of Southbridge<br />

was made redundant from his<br />

role as business development<br />

manager for DB Breweries in<br />

South Canterbury last year after<br />

lockdown.<br />

Young took up a six-month job<br />

as a farmhand on a Southbridge<br />

sheep and crop farm, hoping to<br />

ultimately get back to hospitality.<br />

“I’m very much a people person,<br />

I like to meet all different<br />

walks of life, no two days are the<br />

Young started in his new role at<br />

the Grouse last month. He said it<br />

reward voucher initiative.<br />

“We have had nothing but positive<br />

feedback,” he said.<br />

Little support for Prebbleton expansion<br />

• By Susan Sandys<br />

PREBBLETON residents have<br />

come out in opposition to the<br />

first of three plan changes which<br />

could see the township increase<br />

in size by 80 per cent.<br />

The district council has<br />

recently summarised 46<br />

submissions received for the<br />

Plan Change 72 rezoning<br />

application. The period for<br />

further submissions closes 5pm<br />

today.<br />

The submitters made about<br />

190 points, the vast majority<br />

opposing PC72. If approved,<br />

the application, from Trices Rd<br />

Rezoning Group, would enable<br />

about 290 residential lots on<br />

28ha south-west of the township,<br />

generally located between Trices,<br />

Birchs, and Hamptons Rds.<br />

Submitters’ concerns included<br />

increased traffic congestion on<br />

Birchs, Trices and Springs Rd,<br />

loss of rural village qualities, loss<br />

of peace and quiet, loss of existing<br />

vegetation and pressure on<br />

infrastructure.<br />

Submitters included the<br />

Christchurch City Council,<br />

Environment Canterbury, the<br />

Ministry of Education and<br />

Waka Kotahi NZ Transport<br />

Agency. The city council and<br />

ECan opposed the application.<br />

The ministry opposed it in<br />

part, referring to concerns from<br />

Prebbleton School on Springs Rd<br />

about traffic congestion along<br />

the road, as well as the need for<br />

an additional primary school.<br />

Waka Kotahi neither supported<br />

nor opposed the application,<br />

but expressed concerns about<br />

increased commuter traffic and<br />

limited planning for public<br />

transport.<br />

Prebbleton Community Association<br />

neither supported<br />

nor opposed the application,<br />

but expressed concerns about<br />

increased traffic. It wanted to be<br />

plan changes<br />

to reach the<br />

submissions<br />

process, PC72,<br />

has attracted<br />

opposition from<br />

residents.<br />

consulted on any developments<br />

in the township.<br />

“We do not want our community<br />

split into two halves by a<br />

major traffic corridor, which will<br />

happen by the cumulative effect<br />

and acceptance of developments<br />

such as these,” association members<br />

said.<br />

There are two other applications<br />

before the district council<br />

for the Prebbleton area. They<br />

are PC68, for 820 sections, and<br />

PC78, for 400 sections. Submissions<br />

closed yesterday for PC68,<br />

while PC78 is yet to be accepted<br />

by the district council for public<br />

notification.<br />

If all three Prebbleton plan<br />

change applications were<br />

approved in their entirety after<br />

the submission and hearings<br />

process, there would be a total of<br />

1510 new homes. This would be<br />

an increase of about 80 per cent<br />

on the district council’s estimate<br />

of about 1850 dwellings in the<br />

township.<br />

Councillor<br />

numbers<br />

under review<br />

• By Susan Sandys<br />

THE DISTRICT council will<br />

decide whether to reduce the<br />

number of councillors from 11 to<br />

10 after considering submissions at<br />

its meeting today.<br />

Fourteen submissions were received<br />

on the proposal, as part of its<br />

six-yearly representation review.<br />

The proposal includes retaining<br />

the district’s four wards,<br />

but changing the existing ward<br />

boundaries, with the largest<br />

change seeing West Melton move<br />

into the Malvern Ward.<br />

Eight of the submitters were in<br />

opposition. They included the West<br />

Melton Residents Association,<br />

which said West Melton was more<br />

aligned to Rolleston than Darfield,<br />

and the Rolleston Residents’ Association,<br />

which said it did not<br />

support the “ splitting off areas that<br />

look to Rolleston.”<br />

The majority of submitters supported<br />

a second consultation point<br />

of retaining the Malvern Community<br />

Board, with just three against.<br />

This proposes the board having a<br />

third subdivision of West Melton<br />

added to the existing subdivisions<br />

of Hawkins and Tawera.<br />

The district council will consider<br />

a final report at its scheduled<br />

meeting on <strong>October</strong> 27.<br />

Mixed reaction to 30km/h speed limit call<br />

• By Susan Sandys<br />

GERALD ST business people<br />

have had a mixed reaction to<br />

reducing the speed limit on the<br />

main Lincoln thoroughfare.<br />

Lincoln Community Committee<br />

members have been<br />

consulting on whether to reduce<br />

it from 50 to 30km/h, from New<br />

World Supermarket through to<br />

the Liffey bridge.<br />

While the district council is<br />

planning a major upgrade of<br />

Gerald St starting in 2027,<br />

committee members are<br />

concerned about the danger to<br />

pedestrians and cyclists in the<br />

meantime.<br />

Jason<br />

Wills, branch<br />

manager of<br />

Harcourts<br />

Lincoln, said<br />

he supported<br />

the proposal.<br />

However, he<br />

believed the<br />

Jason Wills<br />

stretch of<br />

road subject<br />

to the new speed limit could be<br />

shorter, starting at the town’s<br />

library rather than the supermarket.<br />

He said the Gerald and William/Robert<br />

St intersection,<br />

where Harcourts was located,<br />

saw many close calls between<br />

motorists, and also motorists<br />

and pedestrians.<br />

Daily he and other staff at the<br />

real estate business had their<br />

office environment disrupted by<br />

the sound of screeching tyres<br />

and tooting horns.<br />

He said he himself regularly<br />

had close calls while crossing<br />

the road at the nearby Gerald St<br />

pedestrian crossing, as a small<br />

proportion of motorists did not<br />

stop.<br />

“You just have to be so cautious<br />

and careful when you cross<br />

that road,” Wills said.<br />

Lincoln Hair Design owner<br />

operator Diane Clark highlighted<br />

the risk at the same<br />

intersection, and feared there<br />

would be a serious crash there.<br />

She believed traffic lights needed<br />

to be installed, rather than a<br />

reduction in speed limit.<br />

you think the speed limit<br />

should be lowered on<br />

She believed traffic lights<br />

should also be installed at the<br />

Gerald St and Vernon Drive<br />

intersection.<br />

Another<br />

Gerald St<br />

business<br />

operator<br />

close to the<br />

Vernon Drive<br />

intersection<br />

said the<br />

intersection<br />

Diane Clark<br />

was dangerous<br />

as traffic<br />

had increased in recent years.<br />

However, he did not think<br />

reducing the speed limit to<br />

30km/h would help.<br />

“Personally I think 50 is fine, if<br />

you stick to 50,” he said.<br />

A representative posting on<br />

behalf of the committee on the<br />

Lincoln community Facebook<br />

page said consultation had<br />

shown general support for the<br />

30km/h proposal, as well as a<br />

new pedestrian crossing outside<br />

the Lincoln Library.<br />

THE IMPACT of cannabis use<br />

among expectant mothers is<br />

the focus of ground-breaking<br />

research led by a genetics expert<br />

at Canterbury University.<br />

Funded by the Canterbury<br />

Medical Research Foundation,<br />

the year-long study aims to determine<br />

whether using the drug<br />

during pregnancy can lead to<br />

health effects already associated<br />

with tobacco.<br />

West Melton’s Dr Amy Osborne,<br />

a senior lecturer in the<br />

School of Biological Sciences, has<br />

already established that heavy<br />

cannabis use has an impact on<br />

human DNA, with the effect<br />

stronger in people who also<br />

smoke cigarettes.<br />

That research, published in<br />

May last year, has been followed<br />

by this US-inspired probe to discover<br />

if a woman’s cannabis use<br />

can alter their offspring’s DNA.<br />

“We know smoking tobacco<br />

during pregnancy is harmful,<br />

but the problem is a lot of people<br />

are using cannabis for morning<br />

sickness because they think it’s<br />

safe,” Osborne said.<br />

“In the US it’s also being<br />

used as an opioid replacement<br />

therapy for pregnant women, a<br />

replacement for hard and more<br />

illicit drugs: ‘You’re not going<br />

to do heroin while you’re<br />

pregnant, but here, have some<br />

cannabis’.”<br />

Osborne said some of the<br />

research Stateside assessing<br />

the effects of cannabis use during<br />

pregnancy revealed some<br />

behavioural impacts similar to<br />

tobacco.<br />

Her latest study, which starts<br />

this month, dovetails with DNA<br />

data already available through<br />

the Christchurch Health and Development<br />

Study, an investigation<br />

which started more than 40<br />

years ago and originally included<br />

1265 people.<br />

Osborne has already sourced<br />

DNA data from cannabis users<br />

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />

among that cohort, CMRF<br />

backing worth $100,000 now<br />

enables the Londoner and two<br />

staff to access data from mothers<br />

and their offspring held at the<br />

University of Bristol in the<br />

United Kingdom.<br />

The UK data is vital because it<br />

covers DNA from the parent and<br />

their children because the CHDS<br />

information doesn’t include the<br />

parents.<br />

“We can use the UK data to inform<br />

what we’d be looking for in<br />

the New Zealand cohort. We can<br />

streamline what we’re looking<br />

for so it means we’re more likely<br />

to get a better idea of what’s happening<br />

at the molecular level,”<br />

Osborne said.<br />

“In New Zealand our sample<br />

sizes are a lot smaller so if<br />

we want to statistically show<br />

associations – and it’s all about<br />

statistical power in genetics –<br />

the more samples you have the<br />

more likely you are to detect<br />

something.”<br />

Ultimately, Osborne would<br />

like to develop a mine of information<br />

from pregnant New<br />

Zealanders.<br />

“It would be amazing. We<br />

haven’t explored that as an option<br />

yet but depending on what<br />

we find it may be that’s naturally<br />

where our research goes. Then<br />

again that requires clinicians,<br />

epidemiologists, nurses and a lot<br />

of people recruiting as well,” she<br />

said.<br />

Osborne emphasised the study<br />

was impartial regarding cannabis.<br />

“We’re not trying to say ‘cannabis<br />

is bad for you or cannabis<br />

is good for you’. It’s really important<br />

to make the distinction<br />

that this is basic biology, basic<br />

biological research,” she said.<br />

“What we’re trying to do is understand<br />

a little bit more of the<br />

impacts it (cannabis use) might<br />

be having.<br />

“Whether that’s the detrimental<br />

impacts that come with<br />

long-term use or whether it’s<br />

the medicinal and therapeutic<br />

impacts, we just don’t know.”<br />

Osborne said while cannabis<br />

use can be detrimental for heavy<br />

users, it could be beneficial<br />

regarding pain management, the<br />

treatment of chronic illnesses<br />

and end of life care.<br />

“If we can put some<br />

empirical meat on the bone<br />

and understand a bit about the<br />

molecular pathways that may<br />

or may not be involved we can<br />

start to understand a lot more,<br />

she said.<br />

“Without doubt, it was the<br />

capital gain that sold us...<br />

..but it was more than that. The value of what we could<br />

get here - three bedrooms, a double garage,<br />

so I could have my workshop, and a small garden<br />

to keep Diane, my wife, happy...well, we just knew<br />

it was the one.”<br />

There are many more reasons why Woodcroft Estate could be<br />

the right choice for you. Why not come into our onsite office<br />

Sheep milk something to bleat about<br />

A CHILD WITH food allergies<br />

and dairy intolerance has led a<br />

Kirwee couple to start milking<br />

sheep.<br />

Matt and Tracey Jones were<br />

so impressed by the difference<br />

sheep milk made for their<br />

daughter they embarked on<br />

their new venture and have since<br />

created a skincare range using<br />

the milk. The farming couple are<br />

about to unveil a range of bottled<br />

pasteurised milk and farm-made<br />

cheese.<br />

The Jones’ milk about 600<br />

sheep on the property. Just across<br />

from the milking platform they<br />

have built a milk processing and<br />

cheese-making factory.<br />

Farm manager Juan Cavallotti<br />

is also the head cheesemaker.<br />

The Uruguayan dairy specialist<br />

came to New Zealand on a<br />

training programme but never<br />

went back.<br />

“The first day I was here I went<br />

to work on a farm and I met my<br />

actual partner. Twelve years later<br />

we have a couple of kids and we<br />

are getting married in February,”<br />

he said.<br />

Cavallotti started working for<br />

the Jones’ three years ago. Prior<br />

to that, he was working on dairy<br />

farms.<br />

“One of the things with the<br />

cow dairy industry is that even<br />

though you might be a great<br />

manager you’re just one more<br />

fish in the pond, but doing this is<br />

something new,” he said.<br />

Cheesemaking is in his blood.<br />

His family, with roots in Northern<br />

Italy, started making cheese<br />

over a century ago.<br />

“I have a very, very old Italian<br />

cheesemaking book that was<br />

what the Cavallotti used to use,”<br />

he said.<br />

The Jones’ have recently<br />

teamed up with four other local<br />

sheep milk suppliers and Cavallotti<br />

says he expects to process<br />

up to 3000-litres a day at the<br />

peak of the season.<br />

“All the milk will come to this<br />

factory here and I will be a busy<br />

man.”<br />

Over the past couple of years,<br />

Cavallotti has developed a<br />

range of cheese. The first to go<br />

to market will be his Havarti<br />

and Gouda which will initially<br />

be sold in New World and Four<br />

Square supermarkets in the<br />

South Island.<br />

The pasteurised sheep milk<br />

will be sold in 450ml bottles and<br />

will retail for about $5, Jones<br />

said.<br />

“I don’t believe it’s going to<br />

take many years before people<br />

will buy this in preference (to<br />

cow’s milk) because of the goodness<br />

of the milk and the benefits<br />

to the environment.”<br />

The cheese and milk will be<br />

sold under The Jones Family<br />

Farm brand.<br />

The couple launched their<br />

Sabelle sheep milk skin and body<br />

care products last year.<br />

Government’s Three Waters reform proposals<br />

5 MARCH LINCOLN<br />

NOW<br />

SELLING FAST<br />

www.selwynsounds.co.nz<br />

With the Minister stating in<br />

the house the case for change<br />

is convincing and compelling<br />

even without all the relevant<br />

information being available – the<br />

(misleading) advertisements<br />

on TV and elsewhere, the nontoo<br />

subtle attempts to bully<br />

councils by insisting on short<br />

deadlines and early decisions<br />

(again without all the detail),<br />

gives a clear impression of a<br />

deliberate attempt to create an<br />

air of inevitability regarding this<br />

proposal.<br />

The only barrier to this<br />

Government not arbitrarily<br />

directing change as is happening<br />

with the health sector is local<br />

ownership of the Three Waters<br />

assets.<br />

It is vital we retain not just<br />

ownership but the management<br />

of these services. The provision<br />

of water services by this council<br />

is one of the best in the country.<br />

The Three Waters proposal<br />

may be attractive to some other<br />

councils who have mismanaged<br />

theirs and see this as a way to<br />

get off the hook, but for <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

it would be a retrograde step<br />

which once taken would be<br />

irreversible. – Neville Farquhar,<br />

West Melton<br />

It amazes me that a Minister<br />

of Government, Nanaia<br />

Mahuta, can state “that the<br />

case for change is proven and<br />

compelling” when talking about<br />

Three Waters.<br />

This has all started when<br />

councils have allowed their water<br />

treatments to get behind. I am<br />

not criticising them, as this can<br />

happen to any councils who do<br />

not have the money to upgrade<br />

their systems due to slower<br />

growth, therefore fewer rates.<br />

It would be a far cheaper<br />

option for the Government to<br />

help those struggling councils<br />

(with finance) to upgrade and<br />

leave those who can afford it<br />

to keep their systems running<br />

smoothly.<br />

The larger councils, for<br />

example <strong>Selwyn</strong>, have proven<br />

that they can successfully<br />

keep their Three Water assets<br />

upgraded – so that is what is<br />

known as “proven”. A new idea is<br />

not “proven nor compelling”.<br />

My money goes into<br />

taxes whether it is local or<br />

government. I am happy to<br />

pay every year to my council<br />

for keeping our water assets<br />

updated.<br />

I am also happy for my<br />

government tax to help upgrade<br />

the smaller councils so that they<br />

can go ahead in the future. I<br />

am not happy with constantly<br />

funding other councils which is<br />

what will happen if we become<br />

a sole business of Three Waters<br />

that covers all the South Island.<br />

After all, we are all different<br />

with our land and water<br />

resources, you cannot lump us<br />

all and level us all out.<br />

In a democratic country<br />

this doesn’t happen. Margaret<br />

Strong first game win for Leeston-Southbridge<br />

LEESTON-Southbridge<br />

launched their Canterbury<br />

bye for round one but Hill and<br />

opening partner Will Williams<br />

(65) showed no signs of rust<br />

14 <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> Wednesday <strong>October</strong> <strong>13</strong> <strong>2021</strong><br />

Construction on Springs Ward<br />

reserve begins<br />

Work on a new 22 hectare park in Springs has begun.<br />

The reserve on Birchs Road between Prebbleton and Lincoln will feature a new dog park, sports<br />

fields, carparking, wilderness areas and bike tracks and be constructed in stages over the next<br />

five years.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> companies McLenaghan Contracting and Johnstons Civil Limited have been awarded the<br />

contract to build the first stage of the park, a 10 hectare area which is expected to open to the<br />

public in spring 2022.<br />

This will include construction of numerous off road and sealed bike tracks, complete with<br />

jumps and a snake run. The tracks will be a similar style to those at Bottle Lake Forest or the<br />

Christchurch Adventure Park.<br />

There will be a dog park with a set aside area for small dogs, and three full and one half-sized<br />

sports fields built. The sports fields will have lighting installed.<br />

The Council will begin further consultation in the next month with parties—particularly sports<br />

groups and clubs —that are interested in using the fields on an ongoing basis.<br />

The reserve will be something new for the ward and the district, Major Projects Manager Phil<br />

Millar says.<br />

“There will be large areas of native planting for people to explore and around the park areas<br />

we’re developing now and in the further stages of the park. With the bike track as well it will be<br />

something special for the Springs Ward, and will be linked to the existing rail trail cycle network,<br />

which runs along Birchs Road.”<br />

The second stage of building starting next year will see the development of changing rooms,<br />

public toilets and the main car park for the park, and is expected to be open in late 2022. The final<br />

stage, an eight hectare area, will be developed in around five years time and the total cost of the<br />

reserve is expected to be $<strong>13</strong>million.<br />

The reserve will bring additional sports ground and reserve space to the Springs Ward, to meet<br />

the Council requirement for park space per head of population in the ward over the next decade.<br />

A new way to see motorbikes<br />

With the weather warming, more people are getting out on their motorcycles on <strong>Selwyn</strong> roads – so it is<br />

a timely reminder for drivers to be even more aware.<br />

Most crashes between cars and motorbikes occur at intersections, or when drivers are changing lanes.<br />

Ministry of Transport data shows drivers are at fault in 90% of crashes between cars and motorbikes at<br />

urban intersections.<br />

A common term within the motorcycle community is SMIDSY – “Sorry mate, I didn’t see you” – usually<br />

the first words a driver says when they hit a motorcyclist.<br />

Usually the reason behind this is something called saccadic masking, where the brain can’t keep up<br />

with a quick check of the road and replaces certain eye movements with a recent memory instead,<br />

increase the chance a driver won’t see a motorcyclist.<br />

Motorcycles are also easily hidden in a car’s blind spots or masked by other objects, such as road signs.<br />

Fortunately, there’s a different approach drivers can adopt to check if the road is clear and help keep all<br />

our road users safe.<br />

Instead of using a continuous head movement, it is recommended that a driver<br />

pause for a fraction of a second at three points, once on the left, once straight<br />

ahead and once on the right, which will help check your close, middle and long<br />

distance vision. Drivers should do at least two checks before leaving intersections<br />

or changing lanes. This stops the eyes sending incomplete images to the brain.<br />

If every driver did this, it is estimated it could reduce the risk of car crashes by<br />

a quarter.<br />

Take an extra moment to look for motorcycles, at every intersection, every lane<br />

change, every time. Look twice, save a life.<br />

Prebbleton roundabout completed<br />

The new roundabout at the Shands Road and Blakes Road<br />

intersection has been completed with the roundabout at Springs<br />

Road and Marshs Road nearing its finish.<br />

Along with a new roundabout the Shands Road and Blakes<br />

Road intersection has a new, wider road and lane layout and<br />

a separate cycle lane. Final planting and landscaping is being<br />

completed this week.<br />

At the Springs Road and Marshs Road roundabout the new road<br />

layout, street lighting and paths are almost complete with work<br />

expected to be finished in early November.<br />

The roundabouts cost $9.7 million and were built as part of safety<br />

improvements around Prebbleton. Waka Kotahi/New Zealand<br />

Transport Agency funding has covered 75% of the cost.<br />

The Council will cover the remaining cost for the Shands Road/<br />

Blakes Road intersection, while the balance for the Springs Road/<br />

Marshs Road intersection will be split between the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District<br />

and Christchurch City Councils.<br />

Faces of <strong>Selwyn</strong> – a passion for<br />

art, cooking and education<br />

Rita Yosef enters the recording studio in purple glasses, purple<br />

tinted hair and smiling from ear to ear in her lilac lipstick.<br />

When asked if her favourite colour is purple, she laughs and<br />

says yes, before revealing that purple isn’t the only thing she is<br />

passionate about.<br />

Born in Latvia and raised in Israel, Rita says she has always enjoyed<br />

art and cooking, especially a range of international dishes from<br />

Middle Eastern, to Asian and Mediterranean cuisine.<br />

One of her favourite dishes to cook is Kubbeh, a Middle Eastern dish<br />

made of semolina meat dumplings in a vegetable soup or broth.<br />

Rita joined the army at the age of 18 and met her husband 30 years<br />

ago. They moved to Christchurch 18 years ago, with their two<br />

children, for a change in lifestyle. There Rita established her cooking<br />

business My Home Chef, catering and running cooking classes.<br />

This included programmes for older population and young adults<br />

with special needs.<br />

“I extremely enjoy that because those young adults don’t really have<br />

a lot of future in a way. They’re not independent to cook their own<br />

meal – to give them those skills is extremely important. I felt like<br />

it gives a lot of help and change even in their own family life and<br />

hopefully for the future they will be able to get some employment.”<br />

In March 2020, Rita and her husband decided they wanted to<br />

build a house in Rolleston, moving into their new home in<br />

November last year.<br />

Since moving, Rita says she loves living in <strong>Selwyn</strong> and engaging<br />

with the Rolleston community. She hopes to continue her community<br />

education in the area with her cooking and painting classes.<br />

“We have lovely neighbours from all around the world and all around<br />

New Zealand, so it really changes the feel. I think we’ve really settled<br />

well and we love our new home and community in Rolleston.”<br />

People looking start new events in <strong>Selwyn</strong> could receive funding to help make their dreams a reality.<br />

The Council has received $35,000 in funding from Christchurch NZ and the Ministry of Building<br />

Innovation and Employment (MBIE) for seed funding to support developing new events in the district.<br />

New events may be events that are being held for the first time, or the development of a new element to<br />

an existing event.<br />

Applications are now open for people to apply for funding to support their event ideas. Events are a key<br />

part of building and celebrating community across <strong>Selwyn</strong>, Council Group Manger Community Services<br />

and Facilities Denise Kidd says.<br />

“We have a lot of great events run by passionate people that add colour and fun to life in <strong>Selwyn</strong>. But we<br />

also know there are more ideas out there with innovative people who are looking for the opportunity. This<br />

funding is another way we can help to get their idea started and make <strong>Selwyn</strong> the great place it is to live.”<br />

The seed funding initiative is the latest project funded by Christchurch NZ and MBIE through the<br />

Regional Events Fund.<br />

Funding over the past year has helped the Council develop a “<strong>Selwyn</strong> Strategic Events Plan”.<br />

The Plan has laid out steps for the Council to better support events through marketing and a focus on<br />

helping ‘roll out the red carpet, not the red tape’ for event organisers. It also provide guidance on the<br />

types and timings of events the Council should be supporting to maximum the chance of achieving its<br />

goals in supporting the community and economy.<br />

Applications for the seed funding can be made at <strong>Selwyn</strong>.govt.nz/funding. For further information email<br />

Henry Turner (right) received the<br />

coveted Malvern Community Arts<br />

Council premier award for his<br />

painting Echos.<br />

Judge Shirin Khosraviani<br />

said Echos was an outstanding<br />

example of imagination and<br />

careful use of technique. “There<br />

is plenty to explore in the<br />

mark-making and the potential<br />

narrative,” Khosraviani said.<br />

A wide range of further prizes<br />

were presented, including The<br />

Friends of MCAC Award which<br />

went to Mitsuyo Field for her<br />

pupils at one with nature<br />

Southbridge School’s year 2 and 3 have planted native trees and<br />

hunted for bugs on farmland alongside the Lee River.<br />

About 30 pupils helped plant 400 trees as part of a Kids<br />

Discovery Plant-Out Day, supported by Te Ara Kākāriki and<br />

Ellesmere Sustainable Agriculture.<br />

Teacher Simon Dakers said it had been inspiring for the pupils<br />

to take their learning about biodiversity and sustainability<br />

into the field. They would continue to be involved at the site,<br />

monitoring it and calculating the presence of five native birds<br />

species and the percentage of plant survival in the first year.<br />

Dakers said a bug hunt with Environment Canterbury’s senior<br />

youth engagement adviser Matt Stanford (pictured) had been<br />

particularly successful.<br />

Pupils included (from left) Lucy Lemon, Violet Quilter<br />

and Blake Sinton. They found all manner of creatures, from<br />

centipedes and beetles to spiders and moths. They added their<br />

discoveries to the iNaturalist app, which allows findings to be<br />

logged by scientists.<br />

Is your diesel summer ready?<br />

Is your vehicle not running to it’s<br />

full potential? Is it lacking power<br />

or blowing black smoke?<br />

Diesel Fix can give you a no Fuss assessment<br />

• Large selection of service exchange pumps and injectors available<br />

• Diesel and Petrol Injectors repairs • Diesel injection pump repairs<br />

• Vehicle scanning and diagnostic • Compression testing<br />

• Specialist in fuel injection and efi injector repairs<br />

under current government restrictions, contactless<br />

drop off, pick up and payment with paywave is available.<br />

Maintaining your diesel engine is<br />

vital in the summer months. Heat can<br />

negatively impact the operation of the<br />

engine.<br />

Diesel engines must stay cool to operate<br />

efficiently. If your engine has a weakness,<br />

the hotter temperatures will speed up<br />

deterioration and increase the risk of<br />

faults. At best, your engine will have to be<br />

turned off temporarily to cool it down. At<br />

worst, head gasket failure can be caused<br />

by excessive heat.<br />

The increase in temperature in summer<br />

affects the engine’s cooling system.<br />

The coolant levels need to be checked<br />

regularly. Flush the system using a<br />

flushing agent and replace the coolant so<br />

there is no risk the engine will overheat.<br />

Changing the coolant is essential to ensure<br />

it is not laying stagnant. This can cause<br />

blockage, reduce airflow and prevent the<br />

fluid from cooling properly. Consistent<br />

airflow also prevents the engine from<br />

overheating. Keep a close eye on the<br />

radiator and its fins. Air matrixes can<br />

get blocked by dirt and grease. Regularly<br />

check and remove any blockages.<br />

Swapping out your air filters can take<br />

a lot of pressure off your diesel engine in<br />

terms of performance. The more clogged<br />

the filter, the harder it has to work, which<br />

means the engine will run hotter as it<br />

works overtime to provide the same<br />

results. Replacing filters will help improve<br />

fuel efficiency and cut down the amount<br />

of work your engine has to do.<br />

These are just a few steps you should<br />

take before summer arrives to avoid any<br />

significant and expensive repairs.<br />

The best way to ensure that your diesel<br />

engine is in the best condition to operate<br />

efficiently in the hotter temperatures is<br />

to carry out regular maintenance all year<br />

round.<br />

GARDENING<br />

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />

Use fertiliser to encourage growth<br />

FOR MANY years, Labour<br />

Weekend has been the traditional<br />

time for planting out a full range<br />

of summer vegetables and flowers.<br />

Even though that is still a week<br />

or so away you should have prepared<br />

your soil ready for planting.<br />

If not, then add in plenty of<br />

compost or garden mix and combine<br />

well with your existing soil<br />

before you plant out.<br />

There is something special<br />

about growing your own vegetables<br />

– watching them grow from<br />

seed/seedling to a scrumptious<br />

crop through your own tender<br />

loving care might be why they<br />

taste better.<br />

No matter how big or small the<br />

space available; you can successfully<br />

grow veges in regular garden<br />

beds, raised beds or in pots and<br />

containers.<br />

Tasty vegetables to plant now<br />

include beans, beetroot, carrots,<br />

celery, corn, cucumber, onions,<br />

peas, pumpkin, radish, potatoes,<br />

spinach, tomatoes and zucchini,<br />

not to mention the great range of<br />

lettuces available.<br />

If space really is an issue, there<br />

are plenty of dwarf varieties you<br />

can grow. For plants that need<br />

support like tomatoes or beans,<br />

put your support stakes/structures<br />

in place before you plant<br />

your young plant – so you don’t<br />

PREPARATION: Prepare well before planting. Use a good mix of fertiliser and arable soil before you plant vegetables. The<br />

benefits will come later when it comes harvest time.<br />

disturb the roots later on. Use old<br />

pantyhose to tie plants to support<br />

structures – they are soft, so<br />

won’t damage the stem.<br />

Summer flowering annuals<br />

can also be planted now in either<br />

beds or large containers. Flower<br />

varieties to grow are alyssum,<br />

aster, cornflower, cosmos, livingstone<br />

daisy, lobelia, marigold,<br />

nemesia, portulaca, petunia, statice,<br />

salvia, stock, sunflowers and<br />

zinnia – to name just a few.<br />

Also, think about planting<br />

some varieties in your vegetable<br />

garden to help attract bees and<br />

other beneficial insects to aid<br />

pollination.<br />

Fresh herbs can also now be<br />

safely planted, such as basil,<br />

chives, dill, marjoram, mint,<br />

oregano, parsley, sage, tarragon,<br />

thyme and rosemary. They can be<br />

grown successfully in containers<br />

or in the garden, preferring a hot,<br />

free-draining site.<br />

As trees and shrubs come into<br />

spring growth use appropriate<br />

fertiliser.<br />

Citrus trees should be fed with<br />

a specific citrus fertiliser.<br />

Do not apply fertiliser in very<br />

dry hot conditions such as the<br />

peak of summer when plants<br />

can suffer from heat or moisture<br />

stress.<br />

BACKYARD CRITTERS<br />

Mike Bowie is an ecologist who specialises in entomology (insects and other invertebrates). Each week he introduces<br />

a new species found in his backyard at Lincoln. His column aims to raise public awareness of biodiversity, the variety<br />

of living things around us. Check out the full list of invertebrates found at www.inaturalist.org/projects/backyardbiodiversity-bugs-in-my-lincoln-section<br />

Moth population not as extensive as in the past<br />

MOTHS DON’T seem to be as<br />

abundant as they once were, when<br />

you think about how messy your<br />

windscreen used to look after a<br />

night drive.<br />

Research around the world<br />

does suggest some species have<br />

declined for a range of reasons,<br />

including artificial light pollution.<br />

Regardless of this, 111 species<br />

have been collected on our section<br />

at Lincoln. About 70 per cent of<br />

these are native or endemic to<br />

New Zealand, including a large<br />

species called Ichneutica ustistriga.<br />

This species is one of more than<br />

90 species in the genus Ichneutica<br />

found in New Zealand and surrounding<br />

islands. Ichneutica<br />

ustistriga is a large moth with<br />

a wingspan of 38-53mm for<br />

females, and slightly smaller for<br />

males. Wings are a mauvish grey<br />

colour.<br />

Moths are most often seen<br />

around August, September and<br />

<strong>October</strong>, but do fly throughout<br />

the year.<br />

The species is found in most<br />

habitats including orchards, gardens,<br />

native and exotic grasslands<br />

and forests. Larvae are dull greyish<br />

brown and have been reared<br />

on several shrubs, trees and<br />

vines including Muehlenbeckia<br />

complexa and M. australis, Pinus<br />

radiata and Veronica elliptica.<br />

A recent publication in the<br />

New Zealand Journal of Crop<br />

and Horticulture suggests<br />

this moth species may be an<br />

important pollinator of avocado<br />

in temperate regions.<br />

Veggie<br />

Garden Mix<br />

Our Veggie Garden<br />

Mix has been<br />

designed to provide<br />

your plants with the<br />

nutrients they need<br />

for healthy growth<br />

and development.<br />

Organic Compost<br />

Lawn Topdressing Mix<br />

A crowd favourite, our lawn mix is ideal for<br />

topdressing or overseeding lawns that need some<br />

love. Suitable to sow straight into, or to pop<br />

ready lawn on top of, this mix will create a great<br />

growing environment for the seed to germinate.<br />

Our Organic Compost is blended<br />

from sustainable, natural, and<br />

carefully selected products and is<br />

independently certified through<br />

BioGro. Dig compost through<br />

your soil to boost the nutrients<br />

and condition your area before<br />

planting. We have had fantastic<br />

reviews from customers who just<br />

love our compost, and it is one<br />

of our best sellers all-year-round!<br />

Birdie’s Garden Beds<br />

Birdie’s garden beds are made with high quality steel and are<br />

built to last. Designed and manufactured in Australia, they’re<br />

built to sustain the elements whilst still providing a great<br />

look to your outdoor space. These beds are easy to construct<br />

and are suitable for a wide range of plants from veggies to<br />

fruit, herbs or flowers. Available in 3 different sizes and<br />

colours, there is sure to be something that catches your eye.<br />

Growing Veggies<br />

Growing veggies is a great way to get<br />

the whole family involved in gardening.<br />

It is very rewarding eating meals that<br />

have veggies you have grown yourself.<br />

The other bonus of growing your own<br />

vegetables is that you can grow what<br />

you what, you know what they are<br />

growing in, and you have confidence in<br />

knowing they are free from nasty sprays.<br />

1. Pick a sunny position for your veggie garden<br />

with shelter from the wind<br />

2. If you’re using timber, untreated is best. If using<br />

treated timber line with black plastic.<br />

3. Having a good quality soil is key for growing<br />

a bumper crop. For leafy, above the ground<br />

produce, choose Intelligro Veggie Garden Mix.<br />

For root crops, (potatoes, radishes etc) choose<br />

Intelligro Garden Soil Mix. A soil blend is<br />

preferred by these plants.<br />

4. Make sure you plant quality, in-season seedling.<br />

5. For a successful veggie garden make sure you<br />

establish a regular watering routine. Plants will<br />

bolt to seed if they are stressed due to a lack<br />

of water.<br />

Suzuki Swift hybrid shows promise<br />

IT’S TAKEN some time for the<br />

Suzuki Motor Corporation to<br />

enter the hybrid market.<br />

Well, that doesn’t surprise me,<br />

Suzuki has long built smallish<br />

cars with small capacity, fuel efficient<br />

engines, even their largest<br />

were relative fuel misers.<br />

That being the case, there was<br />

no rush for Suzuki to go one step<br />

further into the electric/hybrid<br />

market, anyone who owns a Suzuki<br />

will tell you how inexpensive<br />

they are to run.<br />

However, a hybrid has arrived<br />

here and it comes in the form of<br />

the Swift, and it’s fair to say Suzuki<br />

is treading carefully, the Swift<br />

hybrid can only be described as a<br />

mild hybrid – don’t think Toyota<br />

Prius, the hybrid system is more<br />

like you would find on European<br />

cars such as those from BMW<br />

and Mercedes-Benz.<br />

In mechanical terms, Suzuki’s<br />

system utilises an electric motor<br />

to assist the engine in a parallel<br />

configuration, it is powered<br />

by a lithium-ion battery that is<br />

charged as the car decelerates and<br />

brakes, there is no electric-only<br />

mode of propulsion involved.<br />

While cruising, the battery<br />

helps power all of the additional<br />

electrical systems such as safety<br />

features, air conditioning, Bluetooth<br />

and smartphone connectivity,<br />

which means the engine<br />

spends more of its energy driving<br />

the wheels.<br />

There are a multitude of display<br />

graphics which indicate to the<br />

driver how the system is operating<br />

so that he or she can get<br />

maximum fuel economy benefits.<br />

The result of all of this is<br />

Suzuki’s claimed 4.1-litre per<br />

100km combined cycle fuel usage<br />

average. That compares to<br />

the standard Swift which has a<br />

4.8l/100km figure, so there are<br />

gains to be made there; however,<br />

there is a little trade-off, the Swift<br />

hybrid requires premium fuel<br />

which is more expensive than the<br />

standard 91 octane.<br />

Nevertheless, if you are keen on<br />

cutting down emissions and like<br />

that bottom line of 4.1l then the<br />

hybrid does have benefits, and<br />

that figure is very achievable.<br />

During my time with the<br />

evaluation car the fuel usage<br />

readout was constantly listing<br />

around 5.2l/100km with around<br />

4l/100km registering instantaneously<br />

at 100km/h (engine speed<br />

1900rpm).<br />

Powering the Swift hybrid is a<br />

four-cylinder engine of 1197cc.<br />

It is a smooth, quiet engine<br />

which cuts out at idle and restarts<br />

automatically when acceleration<br />

is requested – almost without<br />

notice such is the refinement that<br />

has gone into the mechanical<br />

elements.<br />

The 1.2-litre unit is rated at<br />

61kW and 107Nm, the latter available<br />

at just 2800rpm which means<br />

there is available torque on offer,<br />

and if you add in the moderate<br />

SMOOTH: Design-wise, the Swift is a popular shape.<br />

SUZUKI SWIFT HYBRID: European specification and placement of controls.<br />

amount of electrical assistance<br />

acceleration is more than satisfactory.<br />

A standstill to 100km/h time<br />

of 11.5sec is possible, along with a<br />

7.7sec time to make an 80-120km/<br />

h highway overtake.<br />

Drive is carried through a<br />

continuously variable automatic<br />

transmission. By sheer nature of<br />

its simplicity it, too, helps promote<br />

fuel efficiency. The change in ratio<br />

is seamless, providing an overall<br />

feeling of smoothness. There is<br />

also a sport mode should the<br />

driver like the revs hunting higher.<br />

I tried to replicate the type of<br />

driving the Swift hybrid would<br />

most likely be subjected to on a<br />

daily basis – a suburb to city commute,<br />

a trip to the supermarket,<br />

and a weekend excursion. There<br />

are no surprises here, the Swift in<br />

all forms functions well in those<br />

situations. The hybrid hasn’t<br />

lost sight of the Swift concept,<br />

an easy-to-drive model with as<br />

much practicality as you can get<br />

in a small car. See, at just 3.8m,<br />

the Swift makes good use of its<br />

compact proportions, it is a fiveseater<br />

at a pinch.<br />

On the open road it is quiet and<br />

composed when presented with a<br />

tight corner or two. The Swift sits<br />

somewhat low at 1.5m so there<br />

isn’t a lot of body movement, even<br />

though the rear suspension is a<br />

tube beam type there is enough<br />

suspension movement to promote<br />

• Price – Suzuki Swift hybrid<br />

Limited, $28,500<br />

• Dimensions – Length,<br />

3845mm; width, 1735mm;<br />

height, 1495mm<br />

• Configuration – Fourcylinder,<br />

front-wheeldrive,<br />

1197cc, 61kW,<br />

107Nm, continuously<br />

variable automatic.<br />

• Performance –<br />

0-100km/h, 11.5sec<br />

• Fuel usage – 4.1l/100km<br />

a controlled ride even when road<br />

ripples threaten balance.<br />

Interestingly, the hybrid is built<br />

in Japan but is destined mostly<br />

for the European market. That<br />

being the case, there are a few<br />

little quirks the traditional Suzuki<br />

owner would need to adjust to. For<br />

one, the indicator and wiper stalks<br />

have been transposed, and why<br />

European buyers like rear manual<br />

window winders eludes me, but<br />

that’s what you get in Swift hybrid.<br />

Also, the hybrid model is sans sat<br />

nav but there is Apple Car Play<br />

and Android Auto.<br />

As with the entire Swift<br />

range, the hybrid gets a fivestar<br />

Australasian New Car<br />

Assessment Program rating.<br />

That’s achieved by an abundance<br />

of safety features such as an<br />

advanced forward detection<br />

system which mitigates the<br />

chance of a collision, there are<br />

also other clever features such as<br />

adaptive cruise control, rear view<br />

camera and rear cross traffic alert.<br />

The Swift hybrid lists at $26,990<br />

in standard form, the evaluation<br />

car was a Limited specification<br />

model and it adds $15100, $2000<br />

if you want two-tone paint.<br />

These prices compare to<br />

$20,750 for the Swift GL ($22,990<br />

auto) non-hybrid. I guess that<br />

difference is a matter of equation<br />

as to whether the fuel saving<br />

benefits going forward, outweigh<br />

the extra cost.<br />

Suzuki has a fairly extensive<br />

model line-up, I will be interested<br />

to see how far the company<br />

takes its hybrid technology and<br />

whether it can be adapted to<br />

other engine configurations.<br />

In the interim, if you want<br />

something just that little bit different<br />

in your Swift purchase then<br />

the hybrid model still represents<br />

all those traditional Suzuki values<br />

but with the thought you are<br />

doing just a little bit to reduce<br />

emissions and benefiting the<br />

environment.<br />

To top it off, there’s also the<br />

benefits of the local dealership’s<br />

tempting maintenance<br />

programme – all in all there is<br />

lot to consider, but judging by<br />

my experience with Suzuki all<br />

the ingredients add up to healthy<br />

sales down under.<br />

Are you an outstanding reporter looking for a new challenge and wanting<br />

to serve your community?<br />

Allied Press, with the support of RNZ and NZ On Air’s Public Interest<br />

Journalism Fund, is hiring a journalist to join Local Democracy Reporting in<br />

2022 and 2023 from the North Canterbury News office in Rangiora.<br />

You will be covering local authorities and other publicly-funded<br />

organisations, but also going out and talking to the people affected by<br />

these organisations’ decisions, sharing their stories, and coming up with<br />

your own stories on similar topics.<br />

Your focus will be providing great public interest journalism coverage daily<br />

throughout the North Canterbury region including Waimakariri, Hurunui<br />

and Kaikōura. This is a multi-media role so experience in video, audio and<br />

photography would be an advantage.<br />

receive extra training and support from RNZ, and your work will be made<br />

available at the same time to all of the programme’s media partners,<br />

including RNZ.<br />

This could be a junior, intermediate or senior role depending on the<br />

successful candidate. We are looking for someone with as many of the<br />

following qualities as possible. You don’t need all of these to apply, but you<br />

do need to have at least two years’ reporting experience (although in some<br />

cases we may also consider exceptional applicants with only one year’s<br />

experience).<br />

• Able to spot a strong story and make it come alive for your audience<br />

• Able to meet the highest standards of accuracy, fairness and balance<br />

• Understanding of Te Tiriti o Waitangi<br />

• Some knowledge of local government<br />

• Excellent writing skills<br />

Issue 4 - SPRING <strong>2021</strong><br />

Kia ora<br />

Thank you to all our essential workers,<br />

community volunteers, emergency services<br />

and those who went the extra mile to get<br />

us through the most recent lockdown.<br />

We are still a long way from being out of<br />

the woods and the best way we can all<br />

play our part in keeping Waikirikiri <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

safe is by getting vaccinated. I’ve had my<br />

first jab and the second one is all booked.<br />

Jump online now bookmyvaccine.nz or call<br />

0800 28 29 26.<br />

Longer days are well and truly here and<br />

it’s great to be coming home with evening<br />

daylight. There are a lot of events planned<br />

for the next few months and hopefully<br />

future alert levels will allow us to enjoy the<br />

good times of spring.<br />

Mayor Sam<br />

Mayor Sam at Lake Coleridge<br />

Our response to the<br />

Government’s Water Reform<br />

Our Council own and control over $600 million worth of drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater<br />

infrastructure on behalf of our community. I’m proud of the great job we do to ensure we are in the<br />

top handful of councils across the country that have some of the most affordable drinking water and<br />

newest infrastructure. However we still issue boil water notices for some communities and are on a<br />

path of continual improvement. Not every council is in such a good position. We have worked with both<br />

Labour and National governments over the last 20 years as they considered centralising water services.<br />

The current Government’s proposal would see us join water services with most South Island councils.<br />

Ownership of the infrastructure would transfer to the new ‘Entity D’, and ownership of Entity D would sit<br />

with the councils collectively. We have asked the Government to pause and to allow more time for a full<br />

conversation with our community before making the decision to proceed or not. We have committed<br />

to formally seek your opinion before any Council decision on change. That said, the Government could<br />

still make joining an entity mandatory regardless of our views, and it seems the case for change for New<br />

Zealand is more compelling than the case for change for <strong>Selwyn</strong>. Either way my focus is to make sure<br />

Waikirikiri <strong>Selwyn</strong> residents continue to receive the safe and affordable water we enjoy now, and to have<br />

a voice in how services improve as our district grows. So as well as listening to and advocating for our<br />

community I am also working with other South Island mayors and Ngāi Tahu to influence what any new<br />

entity could look like, and how it would listen locally and operate well for the large and small communities of<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> and the South Island.<br />

Building our<br />

future generation<br />

Mayor Sam with the People’s Choice category winners, Waitaha School.<br />

Arts, Culture and Heritage category winners Te Taumutu Rūnanga<br />

Awards celebrate the best of <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

Every two years we recognise the outstanding<br />

work and achievements of businesses, not-forprofit<br />

organisations and individuals who live or<br />

work here through the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Awards. This year<br />

we had a record number of entries, with 104<br />

nominations across a wide range of categories,<br />

from volunteering and diversity to business and<br />

tourism as well as many others. It’s hard to single<br />

out any particular award winner as they are all<br />

magnificent in their own way. One unifying factor<br />

with all the nominations was the dedication and<br />

determination with which they pursued efforts to<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> Awards <strong>2021</strong> Gala Dinner<br />

collectively make Waikirikiri <strong>Selwyn</strong> a better place.<br />

I was particularly pleased to see Te Taumutu<br />

Rūnanga named as top of the Arts, Culture and<br />

Heritage category. Te Taumutu’s involvement in<br />

our schools, libraries, Rolleston town centre,<br />

Te Ara Ātea naming, design, sharing of cultural<br />

narratives and joint decision making continues to<br />

help us grow into our true selves. Of course the<br />

evening would not have been possible without<br />

our many sponsors and especially our lead<br />

sponsor IPORT Business Park.<br />

When I was growing up in <strong>Selwyn</strong> the discussion<br />

amongst my friends about where we would<br />

live was often framed around the opportunities<br />

in other places. However much has changed<br />

in the past couple of decades and Waikirikiri<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> is now the district of opportunities. With<br />

more internal migration than any other district in<br />

Aotearoa, we are the rohe where New Zealanders<br />

want to be. Our population is comparatively very<br />

young, with 22% of us under 15 and 12% over<br />

65. Our Council continues to support young<br />

people in many ways, including support for youth<br />

workers in our secondary schools. Our awesome<br />

Youth Council is drawn from across the District<br />

and regularly helps the Council and me with<br />

advice and guidance on issues important to our<br />

youth. The Mayors Taskforce for Jobs is a New<br />

Zealand initiative through which we have secured<br />

funding to place young people on Outward<br />

Bound programmes to help develop their<br />

leadership skills and confidence. We are currently<br />

running ‘Trailblazer’ internship opportunities for<br />

our young people to get a taste of working for our<br />

Council. It’s great to see young people learning<br />

about themselves and the opportunities they have<br />

to contribute meaningfully into the lives of others.<br />

That’s what a great community provides and why<br />

we are committed as a Council to programmes<br />

that bring people together, encourage curiosity<br />

and learning, and promote people health and<br />

exercise. I know <strong>Selwyn</strong> has changed over the<br />

past decade and I hope that we continue to be<br />

flexible to the changes we will need to make<br />

tomorrow to support the development of our<br />

awesome young people.<br />

Wednesday <strong>October</strong> <strong>13</strong> <strong>2021</strong> <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> 31<br />

In the wake of the floods<br />

The unprecedented floods in May wrought<br />

havoc across <strong>Selwyn</strong> and caused financial,<br />

environmental and emotional damage that many<br />

are still feeling the effects of today. Council has<br />

worked to support those whose homes were<br />

flooded and land affected although many of<br />

the decisions on support and work on future<br />

prevention sit with other organisations. Our focus<br />

has been on meeting the immediate need and<br />

ensuring people were and are safe.<br />

I have met with our neighbouring Mayors and<br />

regional council Environment Canterbury (ECan),<br />

MPI, Federated Farmers, Civil Defence, and<br />

Waka Kotahi to look at what is being done within<br />

our District and also at a regional level. I have<br />

asked ECan to review their river rating area which<br />

dictates where they complete proactive work. At<br />

the moment this only covers the lower stretches<br />

of the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Waikirikiri river. Many of the homes<br />

that were flooded are located above this river<br />

in Springfield and outside of Darfield where the<br />

Hawkins burst its banks. The feedback I have<br />

received is that the obvious weed problem and<br />

growing gravel levels need attention now. Many<br />

farmers want to be proactive in river protection<br />

work but consent costs and conditions are<br />

not pragmatic, and there is acceptance that<br />

where new work is needed new charges will<br />

be required. Stop banks in Canterbury cost<br />

about $700 million to construct and they protect<br />

over $110 billion in assets, which is a good<br />

investment. ECan’s current river income is about<br />

$3 million per year. The cost of the damage from<br />

this one storm is estimated at $19 million, so we<br />

are going to need a new funding model and stop<br />

banks are not the only answer.<br />

I took ECan councillors and river staff on a tour<br />

of <strong>Selwyn</strong> flood damage at the time and expect<br />

them to report back on their next steps before the<br />

end of the year.<br />

I was pleased that I was able to use the Mayoral<br />

Relief Fund to help individuals and whanau whose<br />

property suffered damage or who lost income<br />

as a result of the floods. We’ve already paid out<br />

$30,000, and we will accept applications until the<br />

fund is exhausted. If you’ve suffered flood damage<br />

and have not yet applied for support please email<br />

Jenny Gallagher<br />

I was sad to see<br />

the Hororata games<br />

cancelled, however the<br />

Rolleston Fireworks are<br />

still on as are many other events across<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> and to experience the very best of<br />

country life the Courtenay and Ellesmere A&P<br />

shows are a must – COVID-19 willing. As<br />

president of the Courtenay show I can assure<br />

you that this year is shaping up to be an<br />

amazing day for the whole family. I’m pleased<br />

to see work commence on the Kirwee and<br />

Darfield wastewater pipeline project, and look<br />

forward to the growth opportunities it will<br />

provide for our communities.<br />

Councillor<br />

Malcom Lyall<br />

Spring is here the<br />

blossoms and daffodils<br />

signal the change of<br />

seasons, as we know<br />

change is constant and it often sneaks<br />

up on us. At this time there are many<br />

proposed changes in the wind, from speed<br />

limit bylaws, the representation review and<br />

private plan changes to the much more<br />

far reaching local government, health<br />

and 3 waters reforms. It is important that<br />

you are able to have a voice by making<br />

a submission to any proposed changes.<br />

Thank you to those who submitted to the<br />

speed limit bylaw and representation review<br />

consultation. We await further information<br />

regarding the central government driven<br />

reforms and how you have a voice on them.<br />

News in Brief<br />

Local elections –<br />

what’s changing?<br />

Our new Toka Hāpai Health Hub is bringing new health services to<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong>. Toka can be translated as a rock or anchor. Hāpai means<br />

to lift up, to rise, to raise. In a sense, Toka Hāpai is much like a<br />

springboard in our universal quest for wellness and wellbeing.<br />

Te Ara Ātea is <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s newest library and cultural space due to<br />

open early next year. It is the anchor building of the new Rolleston<br />

town centre which we expect to be a vibrant and engaging retail<br />

and community destination for <strong>Selwyn</strong> and our visitors to enjoy.<br />

In response to your calls we consulted our communities about<br />

reducing speeds on 27 of our roads. Initial feedback suggests<br />

that many of these speed reductions will be adopted and you can<br />

look forward to new signs going up in the coming months.<br />

We are still behind our desired timeframes for processing<br />

building consents. We have been processing about 250<br />

building consents every month for the past year, with a high of<br />

372 in March. New staff and innovative solutions, such as the<br />

partnership programme with our industry partners, will help bring<br />

times back in line with expectations.<br />

Our Council has concluded consultation about changing <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s<br />

electoral boundaries to ensure residents have fair and effective<br />

representation at local elections next year. Final decision is due<br />

next month.<br />

In November I’ll be riding 185km across <strong>Selwyn</strong> from Arthur’s<br />

Pass to Taumutu, raising awareness of men’s health issues and<br />

enjoying the beautiful scenery of our district along the way. It<br />

would be great if you could support the cause. Keep an eye on<br />

my Facebook page to find out how.<br />
