Burns victim
makes further
progress
• By Susan Sandys
KEVIN BURNEY of Darfield has
achieved the milestone of moving
out of intensive care as he begins to
recover from his devastating April
2 accident.
Son Marcus said his father, 60,
was moved on Saturday from
Auckland’s Middlemore Hospital’s
intensive care unit to its burns unit.
“It is a small, cautious step,”
Marcus said.
The family felt conflicted about
the move, as it came “with some
risk.”
“We don’t want to move too fast
and get our hopes up, and then
something major happens to dad,”
he said.
However, Kevin was doing well
at this stage, with two major skin
infections under control. He was
also managing to get the mucus
out of his lungs with good oxygen
levels, after the slight collapsing of
a lung caused initial concern.

Cycle lane
plan for
Lincoln
hits snag
• By Susan Sandys
A $6 MILLION project to install
cycle lanes along both sides of
Lincoln’s main street, along
with a reduced speed zone and
intersection improvements, will
not go ahead this year as planned.
Waka Kotahi NZ Transport
Agency has turned down a
district council application for
funding, meaning the project will
not happen until 2027.
The work is planned for Gerald
St, between Kildare Tce and West
Belt, as part of the Lincoln Town
Centre Plan.
District council asset manager
transportation Andrew Mazey
said the application for funding,
to the roading authority’s national
Streets for People initiative,
was declined.
He said the roading authority
had not given any specific reason,
although it had told district councils
whose applications it declined
that it had evaluated learnings
from a previous project.
Based on these learnings, it
was now “working with a smaller
cohort of councils, to ensure they
are well-supported and set-up for
success.”

A BIG PROPERTY developer
has waded into the Rolleston
flyover debate, saying it is now
time to look again at light rail
into Christchurch.
The Carter
Group says
the planned
flyover could
link the town’s
residential
areas to a
multi-modal
transport hub.
“If Waka
Kotahi does
not include the potential for
commuter rail in the Rolleston
overbridge design, it will
preclude commuter rail ever
being an option for Rolleston.
This would be short-sighted and
a missed opportunity for people
living in the Selwyn District,”
director Tim Carter said.
Waka Kotahi NZ Transport
Agency will be releasing new
flyover options for public
consultation in mid-June.
“Any existing rail links or
proposed sites will be taken into
account in planning,” a Waka
Kotahi spokesperson said in
response.
Carter says there is now a
once in a lifetime opportunity
to future-proof for a better
transport solution for Rolleston.
DRAFT The FOR company DISCUSSION has produced a
concept plan.
Carter Group recently had
its application to develop 2100
sections on Dunns Crossing
Rd at Rolleston turned down.
If approved it would have
extended the boundary of the
town to the west. The company
has not yet said whether it plans
to appeal.
Carter said developing a
Rolleston multi-modal transport
hub with integrated park and
ride option, a passenger bus
station and a link to a potential
commuter rail station would
improve connectivity.

In Brief
NEW ROAD NAMED
A new road through Rollleston
Reserve from Moore St to
Rolleston Drive will be named
Christensen Pde. Te Taumutu
Rŭnanga suggested Rðhutu and
Patete as names, while Rolleston
Residents Association recommended
Christensen Way.
District councillors considered
in the public-excluded part of
their meeting last week the three
names. The reason for having the
discussion in public-excluded
was to protect the privacy of
names of living persons.
Rolleston Residents Association
committee member Diane
Rooney said the association’s
name suggestion had been in
recognition of life member and
former district councillor Jens
Christensen.
PLANS FOR WEST MELTON
A developer is wanting to extend
the town boundary of West
Melton by about 130 homes on
21ha. Hughes Developments
Ltd last week had its rezoning
request accepted by the district
council. This means the request,
named Plan Change 74, will soon
go out for public notification. It
will then go through a submissions
and hearing process. The
land, east of the Gainsborough
subdivision, is outside the West
Melton township boundary and
future development area.

The Waka Kotahi funding
would have allowed the project
to begin in the current 2022/23
financial year. Failure to secure
the funding means it will now
revert to its original timing in the
current Long Term Plan, where it
is scheduled to begin 2027.
“However, the council may
wish to review this in the future,”
Mazey said.
“The current programme is
budgeted to be fully funded by the
district council under the Long
Term Plan and costings would be
confirmed closer to the time,” he
said.
The Lincoln Town Centre Plan,
released in 2016, outlines safety
and intersection improvements,
as well as the installation of cycle
lanes along both sides, replacing
on-street parking.
The on-street parking would
shift to off-street parking precincts
on West Belt and the side
streets of Lyttelton and Maurice
Sts. The angle parking area on the
south side of Gerald St would be
retained.
The plan also includes a
recommendation for the speed
along Gerald St to be reduced to
30km/h.
Meanwhile, roadworks that
started last week on Gerald St,
from West Belt to the Vernon
Drive area, are for pavement
repairs.

Kevin sustained burns to about
70 per cent of his body – from
head to thighs – when a metal
drum exploded as he was using a
grinder to cut circular pieces for
garden plant frames.
The drum had been used to
store the cleaning chemical
isopropyl and it is believed sparks
from the power tool ignited
fumes.
He was initially transported
to Christchurch Hospital and
then airlifted to Middlemore, the
country’s national burns unit.
Medical personnel described
his burns as the worse they had
seen since treating victims of the
Whakaari/White Island volcanic
eruption in 2019.
Last week, Kevin was able to
enjoy a brief respite outdoors for
the first time, wife Amanda by
his side.
“They took him outside so he
could see the sunlight and help
with the mental health a bit.”
Marcus believed it was hard for
his dad to cope with going from
working full-time, and being a
keen sailor and runner, to not
being able to do anything.
“Mental health wise he is still
a bit up in the air, his recovery
will be both a physical recovery
as well as a emotional recovery,”
Kevin Burney
Marcus said.
Amanda has been in Auckland
since shortly after the accident
and recently the Freemasons
Charity organised long-term accommodation
for her.
“They’ve found a nice unit
where she can stay for the next
few months,” Marcus said.
Kevin is about one month into
his recovery and faces at least
another three months in Auckland
before being transferred to
Burwood Hospital’s burns unit
for continuing care and rehabilitation.
A Givealittle page set up for
the family to assist with flights
to Auckland and other costs had
reached over $10,000 by Monday,
just over two thirds of its goal.

TAKING SHAPE: A skate park with pool bowl, flow
bowl and snake run is being constructed as part
of the $2.7 million Rolleston Town Centre Youth
Zone. Construction of the youth zone began in mid-
March and is set to be completed by the end of the
year. As well as the skate park, there will be a half
basketball court and netball zone, alongside a gaga
ball pit. Gaga ball is similar to dodge ball and played
in a pit area, where players throw the ball with the
aim to touch other players’ legs. There will also be
an eagle claw basket swing and outdoor furniture.
The youth zone is a district council project and was
designed with input from students at Selwyn’s four
high schools.

District council
infrastructure group
manager Murray
Washington said
the district council
has been working to
encourage users to think
more carefully and be
intentional around water
use, including putting
more emphasis on
volumetric charges.
“Over the years since
volumetric charging was
introduced we have seen signs
that people are being more active
in considering their water use

and reducing water wastage,”
Washington said.
The report generally showed
the district had the cheapest
volumetric water charge in the
country, for the second year in a
row, and among the lowest overall
charges for 200m3 of water.
It also showed Selwyn still has
the newest water and wastewater
pipes, with the average age of
water and wastewater pipes in
the district well under 20 years.
While leakages had increased
in the past year, Selwyn still had
among the lowest leaks of any
network in the country
Washington said the
district council continued
to invest above the national
average per property in capital
expenditure for drinking and
wastewater, with its new network
contributing to comparatively
low operational expenditure
being required to maintain the
network.
“As the fastest growing district
in the country, we’ve also
got the fastest growing water
infrastructure, which puts a
lot of pressure on our staff who
are passionate about doing a
good job for this community,”
Washington said.
“It’s good to see their hard
work reflected, showing that
while we have work to do, overall
we’re delivering a really good
service for Selwyn.”

‘I am not right in the head and they
In 2017, Liam Booth
fell through cracks
in the mental health
system, and died of
suspected suicide. Five
years later, a coroner is
investigating whether
there are ways to stop
this ever happening
again. Susan Sandys
was at the inquest
“IS THAT a photo of Liam?”
coroner Bruce Hesketh asked
Geoff Booth as he took his seat at
the witness stand.
It was the first day of the
inquest into Liam’s death, held
at Christchurch District Court
building, over two days last week.
“That is a photo of Liam,” said
Booth, from Greendale, of the
framed black-and-white picture
he had carried to the stand and
placed next to him.
“Would you mind if I could see
that? I have never seen what Liam
looks like,” Hesketh said.
Booth held out the picture, and
it was passed to the coroner before
being handed back to Booth.
It was a touching moment in
the two long days of evidence given
by witnesses, who were mostly
professionals involved in Liam’s
mental health care, as well as his
parents and police officers.
Liam was 21 when he was
found dead in a park near his
Beckenham flat on October 2,
2017. Booth has been fighting
for answers ever since, riled by
the failure of health services to
save someone who was clearly
suicidal.
“I want to look them in the eye,
so they can see the end result of
not doing their job correctly,”
Booth told the Selwyn Times last
year when talking about his battle
to make sure an inquest would
be held.
Finally, last week, his day in
court had come. Sitting with the
photo of Liam beside him, he
put on a brave face to relay what
happened leading up to his son’s
death.
Just 18 days prior, on the
evening of September 14, Liam
phoned, crying and upset, saying
he was considering taking his
own life.
Booth said if he had not managed
to find out where Liam was
in that conversation, his son
might have died that night.
“I spoke to him for quite a bit
of time. I just said in passing
‘Where are you?’ and he said
‘Halswell Quarry’ and then he
hung up.”
Booth phoned 111.
Police were called to the scene
about 8.30pm and found Liam
about 20 minutes later, sitting
in his car. They took him to
the emergency department at
INQUEST: Coroner Bruce Hesketh asked Booth if he could
see the photo of Liam, as he had never seen what Liam
looked like.

Christchurch Hospital.
Booth said he was phoned by
one of the constables to say Liam
had arrived safely at the hospital,
about 9.30pm. He asked if he
should come in; the constable
said no, that the hospital would
do an assessment and phone him.
About 10.30pm, a psychiatric
registrar phoned him and said
they were not going to keep
Liam in hospital and outlined
the reasons for this. His suicide
risk had been assessed as low
to moderate. Booth told the
registrar there was no guarantee
Liam would be safe and he
wanted him to be admitted for
compulsory care.
“I said ‘I think he still has
suicidal thoughts’, and he only
had to get it right once.”
He told the registrar to give
him an hour to get there to pick
him up. But then the registrar
said Booth had misunderstood
him, and they had already let
Liam go, paying for a taxi to take
him back to his flat.
“I was absolutely furious.”
Booth tried to phone Liam but
he was not answering his calls.
He got in his car and drove to
Christchurch, then around the
city looking for him.
“I couldn’t find him for the
entire night.”
“I want to look them in
the eye, so they can see
the end result of not doing
their job correctly”
– Geoff Booth
Booth said during the year
prior to this night, he had
continually been in contact with
health services about Liam’s
well-being and state of mind. He
would attend GP appointments
with his son, and talk to the
Canterbury District Health
Board’s mental health services’
crisis management team.
“It was almost like watching
a train wreck. There was more
and more involvement from me
and he needed more and more
support leading up to his death,”
Booth said.
“You don’t know what you
don’t know. Now I know a lot, but
it doesn’t help Liam. There were
breadcrumbs all the way through
this. If someone was able to have
a look holistically over the whole
file of Liam, there were signs, and
the signs just weren’t reacted on,”
Booth said.
In 2017, he had not known the
processes involved in compulsory
treatment of patients, and was
not even aware that the Mental
Health (Compulsory Assessment
and Treatment) Act 1992 existed.
He also had not known there was
a family support liaison person
in the CDHB. If he had of known
about the availability of that
person, they could have helped
him navigate the mental health
system.
“It would have been nice if they
had contacted me before Liam had
died. They contacted me after, six
months after,” Booth said.
“I was his support person, but
I didn’t know what support was
available.”

have let me go’ son tells worried dad
Booth said he saw in Liam’s
medical notes after his death
about incidents of suicidal ideation
previously, but none of these
had been disclosed to him when
Liam was alive. He also had not
known about Liam’s use of drugs.
In retrospect he could see that
by the night of September 14,
Liam had not been able to make
rational decisions for himself, yet
he was sent home “unsupported”
within one-and-a-half hours of
arriving at the hospital.
Booth did manage to find his
son on September 15, and went
with him to a GP appointment.
He said the last time he saw
Liam was October 1, the day
before he was found dead.
Liam had driven to Sumner
and phoned to ask Booth to come
and see him. They chatted in
his car for about 20 minutes.
Liam told him he had been
discharged from the care of the
health board’s crisis management
team as an outpatient. Liam had
become an outpatient of the team
following his emergency department
assessment on September
14.
“He said to me: ‘I am not right,
I am not right in the head. And
they have let me go’,” Booth said.
He said Liam was aware he had
drug and alcohol counselling
coming up, and was planning
to buy ham on the way home to
make a sandwich for work the
next day.
“That gave me some confidence
he was still functioning.”
He checked in with Liam later
in the day, phoning just after
5pm, and everything was okay.
“And that was the last time I
spoke to him.”
He said while there had been
no warning signs on that day,
something must have “materially
changed” later that night to flick
him back to suicidal thoughts.
Liam’s mother Debbie Bree
gave tearful evidence via video
link from her home in Dunedin.
Liam was her second son, born
in 1996. He lived with her until
moving to Canterbury to live
with Booth when he was 11. His
childhood behaviour, including
a threat of suicide, had prompted
HAPPIER TIMES: Liam Booth (above) celebrated his 21st with friends and dad Geoff at a beer festival in Christchurch.
her to seek the help of medical
professionals. He was diagnosed
with adjustment disorder and oppositional
defiance disorder.
She described her son as “a
beautiful soul”. While he could
be difficult, he was always “apologetic
and sweet” after arguments
and knew he had done wrong.
She also spoke to him by phone
on October 1.
While he was calm and seemed
fine, she thought he was having
issues with his girlfriend and
wanted the relationship to be
better.
“I said ‘Give her some time,
don’t ring her all the time’. I
wanted him to see beyond the
next hour, give her a day, then
take her out for a coffee. He can’t
see beyond the next 10 minutes.”
She was trying to assure him life
would be good again.
In hindsight, she thought if he
had not taken his life that night,
he may have done it another
time.
“He was a sensitive young man,
he didn’t have control of his emotions,”
Bree said.
“I feel so awful that he had
such a hard time throughout his
life. Our loss is so devastating, it
never goes away.”
In 2018, the Canterbury
District Health Board formally
apologised to Booth, for the fact
Liam died while under its care.
The health board also undertook
a serious event review, which
suggested family members
should have been involved in a
discharge plan, and they would
have benefited from more information
about support. Booth has
also lodged a complaint with the
Health and Disability Commissioner.
The purpose of the inquest
is to establish the facts of what
happened in the death. As part
of that, the coroner is addressing
whether the level of care Liam
received from the health board
was appropriate, and whether
there should have been a formal
assessment of him under the
Mental Health Act. He may make
recommendations in his findings
to help prevent similar deaths in
the future.
On day two of the inquest
Hesketh had probing questions
for Booth and the health board’s
medical personnel who dealt
with Liam.
Booth told the coroner he
struggled with the fact that when
the crisis team would phone
Liam, it was from a blocked caller
ID. This would mean he didn’t
know who he had missed a call
from. The team would then make
a record of him not engaging
with services.
“As far as I understand, that is
still the process now, five years
later. There will be a lot of kids
who don’t have credit on their
phone, they don’t know who they
missed a call from.”
A youth drug and alcohol
counsellor from Christchurch
City Mission, Brian Johnson, who
saw Liam, told the coroner that in
the case of people not attending
a session, he would text to tell
them he wanted to reschedule the
appointment.
The coroner asked if social media
apps could also be a good way
of communicating with young
people, as these were free and did
not rely on having phone credit.
Johnson said that was a good
point and the service could look
at setting up a profile with a provider
such as WhatsApp.
Johnson said he had a good
rapport with Liam.
“He was a nice guy, the sort
that you remember.”
The health board’s psychiatric
registrar who assessed Liam as
having a low-to-moderate suicide
risk on the night of September
14 at Christchurch Hospital gave
evidence via video link. His
name is suppressed at least until
the coroner releases his findings.
The registrar, who was meeting
Liam for the first time, said the
risk assessment was based on a
number of factors. These included
that Liam had himself called
for help, and, at the hospital, he
was voicing a change in how he
was feeling while acknowledging
the suicidal thoughts he had
earlier.
The registrar also gave his reasoning
for not sectioning Liam
for compulsory care under the
Mental Health Act.
“I was concerned that would
increase his sense of helplessness
and having a lack of control over
the situation, when he had ultimately
sought help that night,”
the registrar said.
He was also concerned the
mental health hospital environment
that Liam would be
sectioned into would be “uncomfortable.”
There were other consumers
on the ward, including
many suffering psychosis, and it
could feel unsafe at times.

• From page 9
The coroner said it appeared
incidents in the past where Liam
had suicidal ideation were not
on the suicide risk information
sheet before the registrar on
that night, and there had not
been time for the registrar to go
through all the progress notes.
Hesketh also noted the registrar
did not have access to Liam’s
GP practice’s medical notes.
He asked the registrar about
the possibility of an “easy go-to
document” that would give a
clearer picture of worsening
symptoms over time.
“If there’s better ways to
summarise that information to
really show key points, it might
be something that’s useful,” the
registrar said.
The health board’s psychiatric
supervisor that the registrar had
consulted with, by phone, on the
night also gave evidence. Her
name is also suppressed. The
supervisor, who had never met
Liam, said she and the registrar
felt there would have been a
high likelihood Liam would be
discharged from hospital the
next day if he was committed
for compulsory care. Therefore,
they would not achieve anything
meaningful for him and he
would be put off seeking further
help.
“Alternatively it might have
meant he got the shake up
he needed, to essentially not
behave the way he had, because
you would have put him into
hospital,” the coroner suggested.
The supervisor said Liam was
discharged as an outpatient
from the crisis resolution
team’s care on September 29.
She acknowledged Liam had a
good relationship with a team
social worker, but she believed
the social worker would have
told Liam that if he was not
going well he could contact
them again. The team members
believed counselling through the
alcohol and drug service worked
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
well in engaging young people
and this was the most effective
path for Liam at that time.
CDHB chief of psychiatry
Sigurd Schmidt gave evidence.
He said there had been some
health system changes since
2017.
These included texts being
used more to communicate
with patients, and auditing
across CDHB services on how
much families were part of
discharge plans. However, family
involvement when treating adult
patients could be difficult due to
privacy considerations.
In response to concerns about
the registrar not being able to
see notes from Liam’s GP to help
guide him in his assessment,
Schmidt said it had been
acknowledged there could be
one digital record which would
follow through from primary
to secondary care. There was
already a digital platform, called
HealthOne, which allowed
access to information such as
pharmaceutical records, but it
did not allow access to GP notes.
Creating such a digital record
would be very costly, and privacy
issues would have to be worked
through.
“I think, with the new
health reforms, there’s a hope
there would be a single digital
platform,” Schmidt said.
He said an existing digital
platform for clinicians had a
“traffic light system” that could
be updated with the latest
information on at-risk patients.
“A more fluid way would be
helpful, where maybe the latest
ones (incidents) are highlighted,
but our current digital system is
quite old,” Schmidt said.
The coroner wanted to know
more about HealthOne and
the traffic light system. He
gave the CDHB’s counsel and
police inquest officers the task
of “homework” to find this
information out for him. This
was to help him in his findings,

CLOSED: The former tourist centre in Arthur’s Pass.
Fashion Quarterly May 2022
Bid to save visitor
centre ramps up
• By John Cosgrove
THE FIGHT continues
over the old visitor centre at
Arthur’s Pass.
Arthur’s Pass residents
are waiting for the Department
of Conservation to
make up their mind about
the alpine village’s historic
centre which closed two
years ago.
Retired former Arthur’s
Pass senior ranger,
Chris Stewart, said DOC
told them that they have
produced some options on
what they could do with it.
“But what we would really
like to see, is it restored
and used again as a visitor
center, community centre
and museum that is what
it was originally built as,”
Stewart said.
But he admitted that
could be a $2-$3 million
exercise.
The well-known national
park centre, originally
opened as a museum in
1959 and it is in the South
Island’s first national park.
The Arthur’s Pass National
Park was established
by the Public Reserves, Domains,
and National Parks
Act of 1928.
Stewart said that shortly
after the museum was
opened, the old Lands and
Survey Department took it
over as a combined visitor
centre and museum.
“It’s been run in conjunction
with the community
ever since, and we’re pretty
keen to see that brought
back,” he said.
When closed two years
ago, the DOC visitor information
services simply
moved across the road into
a temporary centre.
Stewart said the closure
was forced when the government
decided all public
departments had to be up
to 100 per cent National
Building Standard.
“For the building, it was
the final nail in the coffin,
due to it being perceived as
an earthquake risk.
“We had to pull out of
there even though the

building’s been through a
few big earthquakes and
survived, but these are the
standards that DOC had to
meet and we had to go,” he
said.
But this only galvanised
the 30 permanent residents
and 100-plus holiday
homeowners in the district,
to do something to make
it the centre of their small
community again.
“We realised that there
are still a lot of visitors
coming here who would
love the type of hands-on
displays we could create
here.
“We want to see it as a
conservation hub, where
people come to learn about
conservation, get hands-on
experiences,” he said.
Stewart said they want to
bring back historic material
currently on loan to other
museums in the region
and have that available for
people to see and use for
research.
But the money to
renovate the building has
to come from somewhere,
and Stewart said locals
were hopeful DOC will
help them out but they are
prepared to consider other
options of funding.
“The figures DOC were
coming up with two or
three years ago were in the
order of $2-$3 million to
renovate it and get it back
up to that 100 per cent National
Building Standard.
“We would like to look
at that and see whether
there are other ways of being
able to bring it back on
stream without having to
spend that sort of money,”
he said.
DOC acting heritage and
visitor director Tim Bamford
said they remain committed
to providing a visitor
centre in Arthur’s Pass.
“Work to consider
long-term options for
the Arthur’s Pass Visitor
Centre are ongoing. A
range of options are being
considered but no decisions
have been made,” Bamford
said.

Pub goes to the cows for the day
THE TAI Tapu Hotel was
the scene on Friday for one
of the district’s biggest cattle
sales.
The Tahora Party in the Pub
was a novel way for well-known
holstein friesian stud breeders,
the Geddes family, to reach out
to buyers.
Seventy purebred cows, calves
and yearlings were on offer,
with some fetching more than
$28,000.
To make the show more upmarket,
the livestock were all
primped and preened prior to
the event.
They were then paraded
before more than 300 local and
national buyers and farmers,
relaxing under the sun in the
hotel’s garden bar.
Many more tuned in to the
spectacle via an online video
link to watch and bid on the
animals.
The Geddes family brought
over Australian specialist
auctioneer Brian Leslie to ensure
the hotel cattle sale kept mooving
along.
A three-year-old cow topped
the sale fetching $30,000, which
was hosted by Dean and Jo
Geddes.
The average sale was just over
$9400.

Kudos for council-owned
contracting company
DISTRICT councilowned
infrastructure
company CORDE has been
recognised as Canterbury’s
best contractor company.
CORDE (formerly Sicon
Ltd and Blakely Construction)
has won the Civil
Construction New Zealand
Canterbury Contractor of
the Year Supreme Award
at the CCNZ Canterbury
awards.
It also won the CCNZ
Canterbury Environmental
Award for the second year
in a row.
CCNZ is the leading
industry body for civil
construction, representing
more than 600 companies
in New Zealand.
CORDE chief executive
David Wilson said it was
a huge privilege to receive
the awards.
“We’ve invested heavily
in our people, our new
machinery and the latest
technology to build a
business of international
quality. It really is an
exciting time to be working
at CORDE,” Wilson said.
David Wilson
The supreme award
recognised the high quality
of CORDE’s work and
innovative delivery across
a wide range of projects
in the South Island. These
have been in construction
and maintenance of water
infrastructure, parks and
reserves and resource
recovery.
The environmental
award recognised the
company’s commitment
to going the extra mile,
including that displayed in
developing Lake Wanaka’s
waterfront.
District council chief
David Ward
executive David Ward said
the win showcased the
quality of Selwyn businesses.
“We have many high
quality businesses in
Selwyn that take pride in
setting a high standard and
representing this district
well,” Ward said.
“It’s good to see CORDE
getting recognition for the
work they’ve put in both
Selwyn and across the
South Island, and to see a
council-owned business
earning the recognition of
their peers in the industry
for their work.”

Silvery markings make
common moth easy to sight
ON APRIL Fool’s Day I
encountered an unusual
looking moth with what
looked like a brush on its
thorax.
It turns out that this was
the green garden looper
(Chrysodeixis eriosoma), a
relatively common moth
in New Zealand.
The green garden looper
has a near cosmopolitan
distribution, including
Russia, North America,
Japan, China, India,
Sri Lanka, the Malay
Peninsula and Australasia.
The species is sometimes
known as the Silver Y
moth due to its silvery
forewing markings.
Chrysodeixis eriosoma
adults have a wingspan
of 30-40mm. They occur
throughout the year, but
are mostly observed from
February to April.
The moths can lay up
to 2000 eggs in total and,
depending on the local
temperatures, can have five
to seven generations per
year.
Larvae can reach 40mm
long, are green with
several faint longitudinal
white lines, and often black
dots along their bodies.
Larvae are highly polyphagous,
known to forage
on more than 60 plant
species in the Solanaceae,
Leguminosae, Cruciferae
and Malvaceae families.
Larvae are often found on
common vegetables such
as beans, potatoes and
tomatoes.
Pupation occurs in
sheltered places on the
underside of leaves for a
few days in summer to
about a month in winter.

learners to transform their
lives, communities and futures.

Term 1 Update
Principal’s Message
Term One has been another successful one for the
College in spite of the challenging times we find
ourselves in. It was fantastic to be able to acknowledge
and celebrate with those learners who gained Merit
and Excellence Endorsements NCEA in 2021. Other
Term 1 highlights included the school production of
Beauty and the Beast, The Annual Memorial Brad Milne
Basketball match vs St Thomas of Canterbury College
and our Character Strengths week.
Another important feature of our Term 1 calendar was
spending time connecting with each of our feeder
primary schools to gather their thoughts and insight
on our new Senior Campus due to open in 2025. It was
exciting to hear what these key stakeholders saw as the
biggest opportunities and challenges will be moving
forward in our continued delivery of high quality
education to serve our rapidly growing community. We
will advertise opportunities for wider public feedback
during terms two and three.
This term we look
forward to our winter
sporting codes
beginning and to again
joining with our Kahui
Ako schools to celebrate
Matariki. Term 2 certainly
promises to be no less exciting!
Rachel Skelton, Principal
Student Leadership Update:
The student leaders have been enjoying a very
busy term. Some highlights include:
Our Students Leaders have been in full swing for Term
1. Our Year 10 - 12 Whānau Ambassadors completed
their training at their overnight camp. They returned
to school ready to lead their Whānau in the hotly
contested Whānau Competition. Highlights of this
competition so far are:
• Pepeha Competition
• Whānau Belonging Wall Competition
• Summerfest
• R2L Term 1 Clicks
Our Year 13 Student Leaders have also been making
a difference and creating a belonging for all learners
within our school. They are regularly out on duty at
break times connecting with learners. A highlight
of the term was their leadership during Character
Strengths Week.
Why Do Character Strengths Matter?
Character strengths are the positive parts of your
personality that make you feel authentic and engaged.
You possess all 24 character strengths in different
degrees, giving you a unique character strengths
profile. Research shows that understanding and
applying your strengths can help:
• Boost Confidence
• Increase Happiness
• Strengthen Relationships
• Manage Problems
• Reduce Stress
• Accomplish Goals
• Build Meaning and Purpose
• Improve Work Performance
During Character Strengths Week we celebrated
the following:
• TEAMWORK: Staff vs Year 13 Dodgeball Game
• ALL STRENGTHS: Dress up as one of your signature
strengths
• KINDNESS: Staff and Learners Shave for a Cure
• LOVE OF LEARNING: Endorsement Awards
Celebration

C.A.S.E Update
Culture, Arts, Sport and Education Outside of the Classroom is C.A.S.E at Rolleston College Horoeka Haemata. In
Term 1 we continued to celebrate outstanding achievements from our learners. Some recent highlights include:
Sport:
Unfortunately Covid-19 caused a lot of sporting
competitions and events in term 1 to be cancelled or
modified. Some highlights were seeing the numbers
of learners who got involved in Mountain Biking and
Surfing. We also had some strong performances from
our Touch, Cricket and Volleyball teams. Looking
ahead to term 2 we are incredibly excited about the
growth we have seen in the number of learners who
have signed up to play various winter sports codes for
school. We look forward to seeing the following codes
in action over the winter both at home at Rolleston
and around the greater Christchurch area - Basketball,
Badminton, Table Tennis, Rugby, Football, Hockey and
Netball.
One of the term’s sporting highlights was the second
annual Brad Milne memorial Basketball match against
St Thomas’ College of Canterbury.
Arts: Production
The performing arts team presented ‘Disneys’
Beauty and the Beast Junior’ to full houses over three
nights in our outside plaza at the end of term one.
This was the first musical production since 2018,
and the creative team were Merrin Diack (Director),
Jasmine Robb (Musical Director) and Sam Gimblett
(Choreographer), who worked hard to produce a high
quality performance in challenging conditions with our
first ever outside musical production. It was wonderful
to see the use of an outside space for a performance
and the relaxed family atmosphere just as the sunset.
G&T catering were onsite with a food truck and the
Cultural:
Our Polyfest group was due to perform at the
Canterbury Polyfest in term 1 but due to Covid it has
been postponed. The group is busy working hard
practising 3 to 4 times a week under the guidance of
Tama Mai Saute Dance Academy. Our Polyfest group
will be planning a Fiafia Night to perform and celebrate
younger members of the audience enjoyed dressing
the part and meeting their favourite characters after
the show. Jasmine Rowland was an impressive Belle
and the rest of the cast alternated roles each night to
allow for adaptability during this challenging period.
Where many other schools were choosing to stop
their productions for the year Rolleston College chose
to keep moving forward to allow learners who excel
in the performing arts to have their time to shine.
Congratulations to all the cast and crew, watch this
space for ‘Blood Brothers - the Musical’ later this year.
all their hard work with family in term 2.
Kapa Haka continues to grow stronger and stronger.
In term 2 there is a planned Whānau hui where the
kapa haka will perform. Our Kapa Haka group will also
perform at the Matariki local school’s celebration event
on the 22nd of June at the Selwyn Sports Centre.
Ready to Flourish:
Volunteering
This year Rolleston College has a key
focus on ‘Building Communities’ through
volunteering.
We have been working alongside Lizzie Daly from
Volunteering Canterbury to provide opportunities
for learners, particularly supported learners. Our
key project in Term 1 was to support the work
of NICU Cuddle Hearts, a Selwyn-based project
founded by Lisa Paget to support vulnerable
babies in NICU.
The learners learnt how to cut, sew, and finish
the cuddle hearts. Volunteering is a fantastic way
for our learners to give back to the community.
They can log their volunteer hours on the Student
Volunteer App and once a certain number of
hours are completed they are rewarded with
a volunteer pin. To help support this group of
learners and NICU Cuddle Hearts, we would
gratefully receive any donations of 100% cotton
fabric.
We are also keen to hear of any other local
community projects that we could support.
KiVa Launch in Term 2
KiVa is a research-based tool
to prevent and reduce bullying
problems. KiVa has been proven
to make a difference and focuses
on teaching our tamariki respect
and acceptance of all students,
their culture and identity. KiVa is
being used around the world in
over 18 different countries
The KiVa programme consists of
lessons and activities conducted
through our Ako programme at Rolleston College, starting
next term.
The lessons incorporate discussions about bullying and
respecting others. KiVa is a whole school approach and
has three main aspects: prevention, intervention and
monitoring. The goal of the work done at the classroom
level is to educate students about their role in stopping
bullying. Putting an end to bullying becomes possible when
a shared sense of responsibility is developed and group
norms are changed. In New Zealand, over 60 schools and
kura currently use Kiva to address bullying behaviour and
they have reported a 25% reduction in bullying within the
first year alone.
Rolleston College, along with other kura in our Kahui Ako, is
excited to be part of this programme.
Open evening 2022
SAVE THE DATE
Thursday 19 May 2022
On Thursday 19th of May from 6-8pm we will host our annual open evening for prospective
learners and their whānau. This is an opportunity to come and see what the college has on offer.
Information regarding this evening will go to the feeder primary schools but if you want to know
more please make contact with our school office.

MILESTONE MAN: Veteran Lincoln prop Graeme Greenslade is accorded a
guard of honour to recognise his 100th division one match for the club.
TIGHT FINISH: Samuel McPherson stretches out to score during
Lincoln’s big win over Woodend.
Lincoln dish out thrashing
• By Tatiana Gibbs
LINCOLN’S TIGHT five
dominated the pack battle – and
the scoring – as Lincoln thrashed
Woodend 65-7 to lead pool A
in the Luisetti Seeds combined
division one rugby competition.
Graeme Greenslade, was not
among the try scorers but Saturday’s
match was still memorable
as the tighthead prop was belatedly
presented with a blazer
recognising his 100th division
one match for the club.
Described as a “durable, genuine
team guy” by coach Bevan
Sisson, Greenslade reached the
landmark two weeks ago, but the
handover was delayed so family
could attend following the relaxation
of Covid-19 restrictions.
“His whole family has been
involved in the club for a long
time, so it’s great for him,” Sisson
said.
Lincoln hooker Sam Cottam
claimed the opening points of
the match, finding a crack in
Woodend’s defence in the sixth
minute and added a second six
minutes later at Lincoln Domain.
Lincoln’s destructive power
continued as locks George and
Lyndon Dunshea followed up
with three tries between them,
with George Dunshea and Cottam
both ultimately recorded
hat-tricks.
Rookie Quade Brady-Leathem
also scored a double.
With five minutes left in the
first half, Woodend charged
inside Lincoln’s 22, but couldn’t
gain any metres after trying to
break through both sides of the
field.
“I was pleased about (our
defence),” Sisson said.
“Especially in that first half
when they were on our line
there. The boys defended really
well.”
The home side secured two
more tries to make the score
45-0 at half-time, with first fiveeighths
Thomas Keeling converting
five of the seven tries.
It didn’t take long in the
second half for Lincoln’s flat
and fast passing to reach Brady-
Leathem, who picked a gap in

ball down.
“Our young winger Quade had
his first start for us and he played
well I thought,” Sisson said.
“He came off his wing and
scored a couple of tries, I’m
pleased for him.”
Woodend’s first five-eighth
Aiden Wakefield scored all of the
visitors’ points in the 52nd minute,
through a converted try.
While delighted with the margin,

On the other side, we
scored lots of points,” he said.
“Methven are going to be
tough. Maybe duck shooting will
do us a favour and they might all
go home,” Sisson laughed.
“But that will be a real test for
our lads.”
In other games Southbridge
defeated Ashley 39-20, after trailing
12-15 at half-time.
Southbridge coach Reece Allen
said using the conditions well,
meant Ashley faced the wind

B, beating Rolleston 64-10 after
leading a close contest 12-10 at
the break.
A standout four tries from
halfback Brodie Thomas and a
halftime tune up got the team
back on track said Prebbleton
coach Dave Kettles.
“Our guys were ill-disciplined
in the first 40 and very inaccurate,
and Rolleston kept themselves
right in the game,” he said.
Darfield, off the back of an

Explosive holiday show wows
Explosions, fire and a dinosaur delighted a packed house of hundreds in a highlight of the Council's
holiday programmes.
Experienced science communicator Amadeo Ballestero wowed around 500 people, mainly children at
the Rolleston Community Centre with his first Canterbury Explosive Science show.
Mr Ballestero recently moved to Canterbury after 20 years in Science Outreach with the Otago
Museum, where his shows were hugely popular across the lower South Island, combining explosions,
fire, sound and more to share his passion of science with young audiences.
His popularity has spread to Canterbury with the first 300 tickets for the Selwyn show being snapped
up in minutes, Rolleston Community Centre Manager Oana Jones says.
The show lived up to expectations, with experiments using hydrogen and helium balloons, dry ice,
explosions and a burning Rubens Tube demonstrating the movement of sound waves.
“It was good to see how quickly people embraced the idea. Everyone seemed to have a great time
and we got really good feedback. We’re already planning another show for the next school holidays
and considering a supervised holiday programme.”
The show was part of a busy holiday calendar of events across the district at Selwyn Libraries,
Community and Recreation Centres.
Activities included technology and craft events,
author book readings, the Christchurch Walking
Festival and even a visit from the furry friends
from Southern Huskies New Zealand.
The libraries Edge Connector vehicle ran a full
programme visiting communities most distant
from the Selwyn Libraries, bringing books,
technology kits and craft events. While, the
Selwyn Sports Centre hosted its second holiday
programme with 24 young people enjoying an
active week of sports, activities and outings.
Darfield Kirwee pipeline
works progressing
The Darfield Kirwee pipeline is now 85% complete, with the project
team now working on seven fronts to complete the final works along
roadways in the coming months, before the last pieces are completed.
Several sections of roadworks along the route are expected to
reopen in coming weeks with the pipeline work rapidly progressing.
This includes Aylesbury Road between Wards and Miles Road,
which will allow road users to go from SH1 to SH73 and from SH73
to Two Chain Road before needing to detour to Walkers Road. The
one way system between SH1 and Burdons Road is still in place.
A critical part of the works to run pipes under SH1 and the rail line is
progressing well with the first two of three pipes under the highway
being completed. With the crossings of State Highway 1 and the
railway line nearing completion work has been able to start on Burnham Road, which will be one-way
between State Highway 1 and Burnham School Road to allow connection to the already laid line.
The safety of road users and our staff is of extremely high importance to the Council and we thank those
that have been following the traffic management in place. We appreciate these works cause disruption to
your day and are working as efficiently as we can to complete these and have roads returned for use.
The pipeline is on track to be completed at the end of June 2022. You can check on progress and
updates at selwyn.govt.nz/darfieldkirweewatstewater
The Council will hold further discussions with the wider Darfield and Kirwee community about connecting
to the pipeline in the future.
Council staff and volunteers
helping rural communities with
RAT kits
Across rural Selwyn areas, Civil Defence volunteers have been
out making sure vulnerable people have access to Rapid Antigen
Test (RAT) kits.
A group of 27 volunteers from the Council’s Civil Defence
Community Response Teams (CRTs) answered the call in March to
help distribute the kits, Selwyn District Emergency Management’s
Community Resilience Coordinator Sue Jenkins says. Council
staff including rangers, parks and reserve staff and building team
members also lent a hand.
“The CRT members have been wonderful, they’ve all been so keen
to do it. They all just put their hand up and said absolutely! Civil
Defence have really appreciated the support from other Council staff
as well.”
Over March and April, 650 RAT kits were distributed across 20
remote locations including Arthur’s Pass, Castle Hill, Lake Coleridge,
Springfield, Sheffield, Waddington, Whitecliffs, Horoātā Glentunnel,
Coalgate, Dunsandel township, Kaianga/Dunsandel, Bankside,
Southbridge, Rakaia Huts, Lakeside, Brookside/Irwell, Selwyn Huts,
Greenpark, and Motukarara.
After being contacted by a community member in need, each CRT
member arranges contactless delivery.
Community Response Team volunteer Judith Campbell says she
really enjoys working alongside Selwyn District Council and said it
was great to be able to look after her community at the Rakaia Huts.
One recent delivery was to a residents at Rakaia Huts, who has lived
there for 50 years.
“We said to him if for any reason he was unwell and needed to do a
test, Dave or myself would go and help him do the test. He was very
appreciative,” she says.
Community Response Teams were created to ensure there are people
all over the district who can support their community in an emergency
and provide vital information to Civil Defence on what was happening
in their community during an emergency. Currently there are 32 teams
with 180 Community Response Team volunteers looking after 832
different communities throughout the Selwyn district.

RATU LUVENITOGA is the
newest member of an exclusive
group at Southbridge Rugby
Football Club, after running
out for the division one side for
the 200th time on Saturday, a
feat that’s been 15 years in the
making.
Luvenitoga started out as a
25-year-old utility back when
he first joined the club in 2007
after moving from Fiji with his
friend and current teammate
Peni Manumanuniliwa.
“Home for us is in
Southbridge,” said Luvenitoga.
Fifteen years on, the 40-yearold
finds himself in the loose
trio, where Southbridge cocoach
Tom Turner described
him as a “uncompromisingly
physical player with a bit of
Fijian flair”.
Luvenitoga played 55
minutes at blindside flanker
in the 39-20 Luisetti Seeds
Combined Division One pool
A win over Ashley.
“It’s been a long journey to
come this far,” Luvenitoga said,
who ran onto Southbridge
Domain with his son and three
daughters.
“I’ve been waiting for a few
long years because of getting
injuries after injury.”
Southbridge coach Reece
Allen reckoned Luvenitoga had

LONG JOURNEY: Ratu Lavenitoga runs onto the field on Saturday, supported by his
son and three daughters.

clocked up about 170 games
when he joined the club four
years ago.
“Every week when he’s been
in the 22, I’ve been counting
every training and yelling out
the number. And it was good
this last week to be able to yell
out 199 and then 200,” Allen
said.
“It’s a very big moment for
Ratu and his family. He played
very well. He did his job and
carried the ball and defensively
was strong,” Allen said.
“Very rarely (Luvenitoga)
misses a tackle, and he brings
real physicality. He’s still
putting in the work, but it’ll be
whether or not his body can
hold.”

The rise of the stock pickers
AMANDA BOWES-DURAND
For those interested in share markets and how to
make serious wealth from them there’s a very interesting
investment firm with a growing Canterbury presence.
This is the New Zealand based Australasian hedge fund
start up, Chance Voight Investment Partners Limited
(CVI Partners).
Hedge funds, legendary across the world for their
concentrated well-timed calls on the share market and the
money they’ve made for their investor base were described
in a recent study as the ‘smart money’ in the markets.
Chance Voight has been established with a view to mining
extraordinary profits from the Australian stock market and
as Bernard Whimp, the founder and CIO of Chance Voight,
says ‘We’ll be deploying our unique insights and investment
style with the aim of compounding investor capital at 20%
per annum or better over multiple years’.
Setting up CVI Partners in 2018 as a specialist deep
value stock picking investment firm, Bernard was looking to
capitalize on almost a decade of experience as a professional
investor in companies listed on the Australian share market
(the ASX).
He concentrates on the ASX, as experience has shown
him that in this part of the world that’s where many of the
best share market money-making opportunities are.
So how did CVI come about?
“Well,” Bernard says, “It’s really about the sheer joy of
doing what you love day and night”.
A decade ago, Bernard wanted to test a theory. He made
a quick fortune by making offers to buy shares directly from
shareholders in companies listed on the NZ Stock Exchange.
At Christmas time in 2010, he launched a series of
audacious off-market offers which saw him pick up a profit
of almost $4 million in a matter of months, all kicked off
with an initial $7,000 investment. Daring to do something
different made lots of money.
To most people, the share market can be a bewildering
array of unfathomable numbers – Bernard sees it in fine
granular detail.
The ASX, with its 2000 companies, provides the
opportunity to be incredibly selective when buying shares.
Most years, he is able to identify a handful of terrific
opportunities. The NZX in comparison has only about 160
listed companies.
The share market is essentially a treasure hunt, he says.
“We’re really more like a private equity investment firm
operating in listed markets with all the advantages of the
buy and sell ability that listed markets provide but without
the tortuous negotiations on purchase that private equity
requires.”
CVI Partners Chief Investment Offi cer (CIO), Bernard Whimp
The cornerstone of our investment view is that we aim to
never spend an investor dollar unless we believe that we’re
getting at least two dollars of value for it.
“As a firm, we hunt for situations where we can obtain
substantial value for nothing, where we can buy a stake in a
worthwhile business that is worth a lot more than the price
we are paying.”
As Bernard puts it, ‘guys like me don’t believe the passive
index share that’s been popular over the last decade will
continue to deliver good returns into the future and there’s
now lots of evidence emerging that this passive investment
style so many New Zealand investors are involved with one
way or another, has ‘hit the wall’. We think that ‘stock picking’
where you are looking to hold a concentrated portfolio of
winning situations with high probability to the upside may
well prove to be a superior share market investment strategy
in the years ahead.
He doesn’t rate most of what goes on around investment
in the share market at all. “It’s essential in a hedge fund to
establish an unconventional investment style.
You’re not likely to make much money doing what
everyone else does, as the saying goes - You’ve got to be
different, and you’ve got to be right!”
We’re looking to deliver investors annualized returns at
that 20%pa mark. We’re not reinventing the wheel in doing
this. These types of returns are typical of good Australian
hedge fund operations, it’s just that you’ve probably never
heard of them, and no one’s ever offered you access to one
in New Zealand.
Bernard is building Chance Voight with an innovative
structure where besides managing money in the ASX
for external investors Chance Voight will have a lot of
‘proprietary capital’ (the firm’s own money) at work. To this
end the Chance Voight parent company intends to undertake
an initial public offering (IPO) in a few months’ time. This
will give smaller investors an opportunity to back the firm’s
concentrated stock picking investment style and learn quite
a lot about the share market as the same time. ‘We’ll be
trying to get many of our investment insights across to our
shareholders’, says Bernard.
Christchurch lawyer and friend, Paul Currie, has this to
say about Bernard:
“I have never met anyone who has the share market
understanding and insights that Bernard does. He is very
approachable and exceptionally interesting to talk to.”
Outside of its ASX share market funds Chance Voight is
keenly aware that what’s important for many New Zealand
investors today is regular cash flow and income to help pay
the bills in these inflationary times. To this end Chance
Voight has its high yield mortgage fund available which
pays investors regular interest at 10% per annum.
All investments in the fund are secured by mortgage
over real estate and perhaps most importantly of all,
the fund does not take on any property development
risk, meaning that the fund does not lend on property
development situations.
As Bernard points out, “it’s lending on lower priority
mortgages to development projects that has caused so
many historical problems for New Zealand investors over
the years and the CVI Fund is designed not to take this
type of risk on board”.
“With the aim of compounding investor capital at 20% per annum or better over multiple years’”

Gradual recovery from
Covid blockages
Life on the processing chain isn’t
yet ‘normal’ but meat plants are
recovering from Covid-19 hold-ups,
industry leaders say.
The meat industry has been hit hard
by Covid as people isolate at home.
Companies continue to work through
the back-log that has built up as a
result of reduced staff numbers and a
chronic labour shortage.
Capacity will vary from plant to
plant but it is ranging between 70–90
per cent across the country, meat
industry bodies estimated in late
April. Year-on-year processing is still
behind last season across all stock
types.
The length of processing delays is
expected to depend on how far each
region is through the processing
season. Every processor and plant
will have different run modes for
ovine and bovine, though virtually
are bringing on additional capacity
for cattle, moving stock across their
networks and moving workers to
other plants to ease the pressure.
Across the country, lamb processing
was improving and was about 2–4
weeks behind last year at last report..
Cattle processing remained behind
last season and the situation was
compounded by an increasing
number of cull cows being sent to
plants for processing, which was
typical for this time of year.
Industry bodies were continuing
to monitor the cattle situation in
the lower South Island heading into
winter. Some companies were now
operating close to typical seasonal
capacity and were focused on
processing cull cows.
The global supply chain continues
to be significantly affected by the
pandemic with Shanghai, Rotterdam
and the west coast of North
America particularly impacted. Port
congestion, vessel schedule changes
and a shortage of containers are
causing bottlenecks and increased
costs across the supply chain.
While Shanghai is not the major
import port in China for New
Zealand red meat, it is still an
important entry point. At this
stage, the port is continuing
to operate, but there is
significant disruption and
congestion. As Shanghai is one of
the largest ports, the disruption
there could spread throughout
the Chinese port network and
lead to delays and congestion at
other ports.
For New Zealand’s meat
exporters, this could mean delays
in getting containers cleared and
higher costs if containers have to be
re-routed to
other ports.
There could also
be a knock-on
effect on the
inland distribution
network for our
products.

Government eases
worker squeeze
The dairy industry is relieved the
government is letting more international
staff into the country.
Recent changes to border exemption
rules will increase the number of
international workers allowed into New
Zealand under the 2022 dairy class
exception from 300 to 800.
This is in addition to the 2021 dairy
class exception visa which allowed 200
international workers to enter the country.
The dairy industry estimates that to
fill the entire shortage it needs about
4000 people, many of whom would
take jobs in central Canterbury. Record
low unemployment, combined with
a prolonged Covid-19-related border
closure, have contributed to the worker
shortage.
DairyNZ chief executive Dr Tim Mackle
says it has been working hard to make
sure the Government understands the
huge pressure farmers are under, due to
workforce shortages. The organisation
has pushed for 1500 international dairy
workers into the country in time for the
2022 dairy season on June 1.
“We made it clear to Government that
the 300 dairy border class exception
workers previously approved was nowhere
near enough to meet the demands onfarm
and reduce the current high levels of
farmer stress,” Dr Mackle said.
Dr Mackle strongly encouraged farmers
who want international workers on board
for calving to apply through the border
exception process. Employers must
apply to DairyNZ for nomination and
have a class exception visa granted by
Immigration New Zealand
“It’s now simpler for farmers to use the
class exception process, so we hope to see
farmers take up the opportunity. People
no longer need to stay in MIQ or isolate.
There is also no limit on the number of
farm assistants who can apply.”
Workers on a class exception visa need
to be paid at least $28 per hour. A limited
number of dairy workers may be eligible
to enter New Zealand under other criteria.
For more details see www.dairynz.co.nz/
border
DairyNZ has also launched a ‘Join
Us’ campaign aiming to connect dairy
farmers and New Zealanders and inviting
Kiwis to join a dairy job (www.godairy.

BEETROOT IS AN interesting
vegetable to grow and it’s
incredibly versatile in the
kitchen.
The root can be grated raw into
a salad, roasted with winter vege,
made into a chocolate cake and
more, and the leaves can be used
in the same way you would use
spinach.
It’s also incredibly good for
you. It’s a good source of folic
acid, fibre, manganese and potassium
and the greens are rich in
calcium, iron and vitamins A
and C.
There are two main types of
beetroot. The regular round kind
and the less known cylindra variety
which, as it’s name suggests,
is a cylindrical beetroot. Because
of it’s shape cylindra beetroot is
great for slicing and then bottling.
Next it’s simply a matter of
working out where to plant your
seedlings. Beetroot likes welldrained,
friable (breaks apart in
your hands) soil.
It grows well next to brassicas,
like broccoli and cauliflower,
which take longer to mature
and spread out. This means you
can plant beetroot in the spaces
in between your brassicas, and
harvest them before the brassicas
start needing the extra room.
Alternatively, it grows great in
pots. Wherever you plant, simply
dig a little 3cm deep hole, place
the seedling in the hole and fill in
with soil.
Beetroot likes moisture as it
starts to develop so keep your

plants well watered.
In around 10 to 12 weeks it
should be ready. The great thing
about beetroot is it can be eaten
at any size, just dig it up and
enjoy.
Use violas to add
colour over winter
JUST BECAUSE we’re heading
into the colder months, it doesn’t
mean your garden needs to
wallow in dull evergreens and
bare branches. In fact, it’s more
than possible to add a splash
of winter colour with vibrant
flowering plants like viola.
This petite plant has a really
nice colour range that well and
truly fits the season – rich violets,
cool yellows, crisp whites with a
dash of colour and more.
Think your place could do with
some brightening up this winter?
When thinking about where to
plant, look for wide, open spaces.
Violas grow really well alongside
paving or patios. They also look
fantastic in borders around spring
bulbs or roses – particularly as
the roses go dormant and lose
their leaves.
And if you’re a hanging basket
fan, use violas to create a welcoming
entrance at your place
throughout the cooler months.
You can also pop them in a pot
– in fact they look great planted
around the outside of potted
shrubs or citrus trees.
Wherever you decide to plant,
simply dig in a balanced fertiliser,
like nitrophoska blue. Then plant
your seedlings in small holes,
about 20cm apart.
PETITE: Violas reward with
a huge splash of colour.
If placing them in a pot, make
sure you use a good potting mix
to provide all the nutrients they
need. Nurture their love of space
and, in particular, good air circulation,
by keeping your pots away
from places like under the eaves
of your house. This will help prevent
them getting downy mildew.
In about four to six weeks, you
should be rewarded with that
splash of colour. Just remember
to pick off the dead heads to
encourage them to flower, and
you’ll get to enjoy the effect for
much longer.
Are you ready to grow?

to get their hands dirty.

Plum trees need a pollinator
PLUMS ARE so easy to grow and,
when planted with the correct
pollinator, will fruit heavily after
only a few years.
Plums have become more
popular in the past few years with
home gardeners growing more of
their own fruit.
Plum trees grow between 3-4m
high depending on the variety
chosen and how they are pruned.
The three main types flower and
fruit differently. The European
plum, Prunus domestica, flowers
in late September on spurs.
European plums generally have
smaller, rounder oval fruit which
need pollinating. The japanese
plum, Prunus salicinas, flowers in
early September on last season’s
new wood. It has large, often
pointed fruit. The cherry plums,
which are Prunus cerasifera, are a
cross between the European and
Japanese plums. They flower in
late winter.
Plums prefer a sunny spot with
good drainage. Spring frosts can
be a problem if the plant is flowering
at the time. Water the plant
well during dry periods, fertilise
in early and late spring.
Plums are vigorous growers so
should be pruned for shape and
to keep control of the plant. Thin
out large lateral growths, remove
diseased dead branches; thin
the tree out to allow light in to

promote spur formation.
Pruning should be done after
harvest to prevent disease. Brown
rot is the main disease that affects
plums, along with the odd insect.
Birds are also a pest.
Spray with copper and oil three
times in winter, then with mavrik
or carbaryl and copper monthly
while the tree is in leaf. Watch out
for birds as they love plums too.
Most plum trees need a
pollinator to ensure fruit set.
Even self-fertile plants will benefit
from a companion plant. Some
varieties pollinate lots of other
varieties.
You can even buy trees with
pollinators on them. Two or three
varieties are grafted on to a tree
so you get two to three types of
plum on the one tree, which saves
room and the plums get pollinated
properly.
Plums taste best when they are
picked ripe from the tree, some
cherry plums and plum santa
rosa are the only self-fertile varieties
available.
Here are some popular varieties.
Cherry plums black doris –
great all purpose, medium-sized,
black-purple skinned, deep red
sweet juicy fruit. Billington or
omega helps with pollination.
Billington – Cross between
sultan and the japanese plum.
Ripens early December-January
and has medium-sized, redskinned,
red flesh, juicy fruit.
Omega – Red flesh with greenred
speckled skin. This plum is
juicy, sweet and self-fertile. A
good all-round plum.
Japanese plums – These plums
are heavier croppers and more
vigorous growing.
Burbank – Has heavy crops of
red fruit with yellow flesh. It is
self-fertile.
Elephant heart – Is a large plum
with reddish-purple skin and
sweet red flesh. Its pollinator is
santa rosa.
Santa Rosa – Is a large, deep
purple plum with pink-yellow
flesh. It is self-fertile and has
sweet fruit.
Sultan – Is a popular variety
with large red fruit covering the
tree. Its pollinator is omega.
Satsuma – Has large, round,
dark red fruit and is pollinated by
santa rosa.
Greengage – Is a popular plum
producing greenish-yellow fruit
in February. It is pollinated by
other European plums.
Fortune –Is a large plum with
amazing taste.

Subaru Forester provides that extra grip
A FRIEND AND I were talking
about his new car. Well, it’s not
new, but it is a late model frontwheel-drive
wagon with a high
power engine.
He was telling me how much he
misses the four-wheel-drive system
of his previous car – a Volkswagen
Passat. He says the 4Motion system
that car incorporated provided
stability and surety in a corner,
something front-wheel-drive only
doesn’t provide to the same extent.
I can attest to that, every time
I get in a car with four-wheeldrive
I’m immediately aware of
the feel that gives you, that solid
connection with the road. There’s
none more notable than Subaru’s
symmetrical full-time four-wheeldrive
network, it’s a cracker in
terms of how it makes you feel such
a part of the car.
That drive system is part of every
new Subaru sold in this country
and is one of the elements that
make the Forester sport utility
vehicle such a trusted and popular
model within Subaru’s line-up.
The Forester has just had a
facelift for 2022 and the changes
include revised headlights, fog
lights, front bumper and grille
treatment.
The range also gets greater
technology, the Eyesight driver
assistance network has additional
functions such as lane centering
monitoring, lane departure
prevention and autonomous
emergency steering.
Subaru’s off-road X-mode
system has also been advanced to
re-engage once the vehicle speed
drops to 35km/h or less. There is a
multitude of other goodies added
across the range including a driver
gesture system to adjust internal
temperature.
However, it’s fair to say the
entry-level model as tested doesn’t
get all of the enhancements but,
nevertheless, the Forester as a range
hasn’t lost any of the fundamentals
that have made it the vehicle of
choice for everyday transport and
adventure-seekers alike. The latter,
particularly, it is a popular SUV in
the ski-field car park and anywhere
where that little bit of extra grip is
needed.
That well-proven method of
getting drive to the road, or any
surface for that matter, is also
matched by another Subaru point
of difference. The 2.5-litre petrol
engine is a boxer type, or just like
my family’s old Jowett Javelin and
Volkswagen’s of my childhood, a
horizontally-opposed engine.
As advances in technology
would have it, the Forester’s boxer
engine is state-of-the art with twinoverhead
camshafts and four valves
over each piston. Unlike some
turbocharged Forester models from
the past, the Forester has been sans
turbo here since around 2012, and
really it doesn’t need forced boost,
it is a strong engine and the power
outputs reflect that.
Subaru claims peak power

when weather is at its worst.

of 136kW with 239Nm of
torque. While these figures
arrive at 5800rpm and 4400rpm
respectively, it must be taken
into account that there is a lot
of natural torque developed by
the flat-four design. Response to
accelerator request is delightful
with a solid impetus developed and
transmitted through the freedom of
a continuously variable automatic
transmission. Subaru has been
developing the driveline constantly
for as long as I can remember
and today’s system is smooth,
responsive, forceful yet frugal.
Along with the elements needed
to keep pace with today’s traffic,
the fuel usage engineers have been
constantly leaning out the boxer
unit to a point where today it is
little different to any inline fourcylinder
engine with much the
same power outputs.
Subaru claims a combined cycle
average of 7.4-litres per 100km for
the 2498cc unit. During my testing
time the fuel usage readout was
listing a constant 8l/100km figure,
which isn’t that far distant.
At 100km/h the tachometer is
pointing to a lazy 1500rpm, the
engine merely sipping fuel at the
rate of 5.5l/100km.
On the subject of figures, the
Forester will also accelerate to
100km/h in 9.5sec and will make
a highway overtake of 6.6sec (80-
120km/h).
One of the other benefits of the
Forester’s driveline is that with the
way the engine is laid flat, much of

its weight sits low in the sub-frame.
That keeps the centre of gravity
low, maintaining balance and
composure in a corner. Sport utility
vehicles are not ordinarily known
for their handling prowess, but the
Forester has tidy handling manners
and much feel through the steering.
I mentioned that involving
aspect of the Forester’s make-up
in my introduction, it keeps the
driver fully informed of the way
it is handling cornering pressure.
Subaru has revised the spring and
damper rates on the Forester, ride
comfort has been made greater and
there seems to be little effect on the
way the vehicle works in a corner.
I’ve written many times over
the years how double wishbone
suspension provides a stable
platform and the Forester benefits
from that system at the rear. Up
front a tradition strut system is
utilised.
The Forester lands here in three
specifications, but take into account
that there are actually five models
to choose from, two of those being
hybrids. I’ve driven the latter and
can report that the hybrid is also
a worthy proposition if you feel
like doing just that little bit of
something for the environment.
As mentioned the evaluation car
was the base model non-hybrid
and it sits at $42,990. If you like a
little bit of extra bling, the X-Sport
model adds $5k while and all the
bells and whistles Premium variant
lists at $52,990. The hybrids start at
$47,990.
All have the same fundamentals
underneath, and bear in mind
that all variants come away with
a five-star Australasian New Car
Assessment Program safety rating.
My wife and I have been talking
about the vehicle we need to have
when I retire, we can’t afford to
run our old Toyota, it’s simply too
thirsty.
There’s a Subaru on the wish
list, but we can’t afford a Forester
so I’m thinking seriously about
an XV. It’s just a little smaller than
the Forester and it has just a 2-litre
engine, but it’s also a car that
gives you that full-on Subaru feel
through the driveline; that’s a safety
element as well as something that
will give you grip when the worst
weather hits Canterbury.
It’s really just a matter of
convincing my wife now is the time
to get that order in.

Wednesday May 4 2022 Selwyn Times 43
Ten years ago, a notice in the local paper led Ross
to discover a love of playing music. The notice read
‘No musical knowledge required’. Aged 65 at the time,
Ross and some mates, none who had played music
before, decided to head along and give it a go.
Now he’s in several bands and tours in different
towns playing music on a guitar he made himself.
Ross’s musical journey started as a hobby when he
stopped working, but it grew into something much more.
He especially loves being part of a group. “It’s socialising
with other people. It’s great. It keeps you happy.”
Being with other people is something he also loves about
living at Ryman. Ross enjoys volunteering at his village and
getting involved. “We work on the bar during happy hour, go
to some of the events, and that’s the great part about Ryman
- you can go along to whatever you want. You just do what
you want to.”
Ross almost always has something on the go. One of the
things he threw himself into was making not just one, but
four guitars.
Ross bought his first instrument, but then had the idea that
he could make his own. He sources all the materials and he’s
especially proud of the recycled wood he uses and where it
comes from. For his first guitar, Ross used native kahikatea
out of a century-old Nelson woolshed for the soundboard
“
I
never did any music until I retired.
The rest is history.
”
Ross
AGE 75
and recycled Southland beech, another
New Zealand native, for the sides and neck.
Music is a big part of Ross’s life, but it’s not his only passion.
He’s just as fervent about motorhoming and tries to combine
both passions whenever he can. Every year, he takes his RV
to the annual Music in the Mountains festival which features
four days of live performances in a valley near Nelson.
Being able to travel while knowing your home is secure is
another benefit of living in a Ryman village. “In the village,
we’ve got no worries. And if we choose to go away anywhere,
we know everything’s fine and looked after. We like the
security. And joining in with everything. It’s just fun here.”

Ryman’s Peace of Mind Guarantees are designed with your protection in mind, giving you
the confidence to live the way you want and to embrace every opportunity. Take Ross for
example. He’s a Ryman resident who began his musical journey later in life. His ‘no worries’
lifestyle has enabled Ross to now play in several bands and tour different towns playing
music on a guitar he made himself. A little certainty provides great reassurance in
knowing you can pursue the things you love in retirement, without any worries.
“In the village we’ve got no worries.”

Can I offer on more than
one property at a time?
Some people fall in love at first sight
when they’re looking to buy a property,
but many like to keep their options until
the last minute. This is understandable,
because it can be scary signing up to such
a major financial commitment if you think
something better might come along. But
it can also be hard to know what to do if
you’re not sure if your offer on a property
will be accepted and you are worried about
missing out on the other ones on your
wishlist.
“Every time you make an offer on a
property you are saying you are committed
to buying it, subject to whatever conditions
you include in the offer,” says the Real Estate
Authority (REA). “These conditions might
be things like getting a satisfactory property
inspection, or confirming insurance, or
having finance approved. It would be
extremely unusual to add ‘we want the
right to change our minds in case we see a
property that we like more’.”
Remember that a sale and purchase
agreement – the document that you and the
seller sign that lays out all the particulars
of the property and any chattels being sold
with it, the price you are prepared to pay
and the date that it will take place – is a
legally binding contract.
“Whether you can make offers on other
properties will depend on how your
conditions are written. This is why it’s
crucial to get legal advice before making
the offer, which becomes legally binding
as soon as it’s accepted. If you offer on a
property while you’re waiting to hear back
on another one, you could end up with two
accepted offers and two legally binding
contracts.”
The REA says a seller doesn’t have to
respond to your offer within a certain time
frame unless there is a strict deadline, such
as in a tender or deadline sale. If you are
making an offer on a property that is for
sale by negotiation or by advertised price,
and you think you might want to keep your
options open, talk to your lawyer about
adding an expiry time to it.
Alternatively, if the deadline for offers has
not passed and you have a change of heart,
you could consider asking the agent about
withdrawing your offer. In this situation we
recommend you have the agent confirm in
writing that your offer has been withdrawn.
“Keep in mind too that making a
conditional offer on a property, such
as having finance approved, will not
necessarily provide you with a ‘get out of jail
free card’ if you subsequently decide you
don’t want to go through with the purchase.
In this situation you could be required to
prove you weren’t able to get finance. The
better option is simply to arrange for your
offer to be withdrawn promptly.”
Buying a property is a
complex process whether
you’re doing it for the first
time or not
Buying a property is a complex process
whether you’re doing it for the first time
or not – but it’s important to take every
decision seriously. If you’re finding it hard
to keep going on your property search, or
to commit to making an offer, it might be
helpful to remind yourself about why you
want to buy a home and to identify your
must-haves. Writing these things down can
help keep you on track and make it easier to
stay focused.

Presenting your home for sale?
The presentation of your home
doesn’t mean spending thousands
on an upgrade either! So why
wouldn’t you want to do everything
possible to make it appealing to
prospective purchasers?
Street appeal
The exterior of your home is the first
thing buyers will see, so the property
needs to look well-kept and inviting. Take
a look at your place from the street and
see it through a buyer’s eyes. So, cut the
lawns, trim trees, plants and hedges, add
some garden lights and place a nice pot or
plant by the front door. Ensure the house
exterior is cleaned or freshened with new
paint if necessary, hose down drives, paths
and fences, put stylish new numbers on
the house and perhaps buy a funky new
letter box!
Make an entrance
Even if your entrance or hallway is
small, you can still give it some wow! A
large mirror adds light and makes an
entrance look twice the size. Fresh flowers,
candles or a stylish piece of art create an
inviting first impression. Ensure floors are
clean whether timber, tiles or carpet.
Create space
Light, air and space are three key
factors in presenting a home to the
best advantage. Open up curtains
and windows and use lamps and light
fittings for mood and ambience. Arrange
furniture to maximise space and remove
items that make the room appear
cramped.
Fresh feel
Freshen rooms with new paint if
necessary, but aim for neutral tones which
are more versatile for buyers. Add a splash
of colour in cushions, throws, artwork or
a vase of flowers. Invest in a new duvet or
bedspread and always make the bed!
Clear out clutter
Storage space sells but clutter
complicates! Clean out your cupboards,
shelves and garage, and get rid of
unnecessary clutter. Buyers inspect
wardrobes and cupboards so tidy them up
and reduce the number of photos, books,
nicknacks on display – they distract
buyers, too!
Beautify the bathroom
Replace or resurface fittings if necessary,
but otherwise you can simply beautify
your bathroom with thorough and
fastidious cleaning, thick opulent towels,
a tray of beautiful soaps and some lush,
green plants. Invest in a new shower
curtain or laundry hamper, and maybe a
sleek, modern towel rail.
Clean clean clean
Cleaning is a mandatory part of
selling your home: have carpets, rugs
and upholstery commercially cleaned
and sanitised, clean drapes and blinds to
look like new, polish glass and furniture,
wash down all surfaces and fittings in
the bathroom and kitchen, clean all light
fittings, wash windows inside and out,
deodorise your home to eliminate any
odours from pets, cooking or smoke.
Outdoor spaces
Even a small patio, deck or terrace
can be enhanced with a café table and
chairs. Add some colourful accessories –
placemats, candle lamps, pots and plants,
and there you have an extra living area.
If space is not limited, hang a hammock,
string some outdoor lights, position a
garden sculpture or create a water feature
that buyers will love.
Hire a handyman
Squeaking doors, dripping taps, cracked
tiles, broken fences, leaking toilets or
appliances that don’t work are a turn-off
for buyers. If you can’t repair or replace
things yourself, then hire a handyman to
make sure everything in your home works
as it should.
Finish it first
Buyers want to see a finished home,
not one that’s still being fixed! So finish
everything before you list your home
for sale, then launch it onto the market
when it looks its absolute best – you have
nothing to lose and everything to gain!

The property is held in two titles with excellent access to the majority of paddocks off two council roads. Great balance of soil
types that provide reliable summer growth and free draining areas for forage crops. This property presents an excellent first
farm option or a strategic add on to a larger enterprise for finishing. This superb central location is only 45 minutes from both
Christchurch City or Ashburton providing commuting options.

Rolleston 87 Renoir Drive
AS IS WHERE IS
Located on the corner of Newtons and Lawford Road, 366 Newtons is
a cracking 5.9 HA block in a very desirable location. The property has a
well-established tree frontage with a winding driveway creating a
great sense of seclusion and expectation. The 186m2 building
contains 6 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and two meeting rooms with an
open plan kitchen area. The real jewel of this property is the land -
There is a great opportunity for any prospective buyer to paint their
own canvass here. The options on use are plenty. The property is
divided by a large Pine tree shelterbelt that creates two sizeable blocks
both currently used to grow meadow hay.
