KUNEKUNE LEFT TO DIE<br />

• By Susan Sandys<br />

A DISABLED pet kunekune<br />

with a gentle nature was left to<br />

die on the side of the road.<br />

West Melton runner Kathryn<br />

Meyers came across the pig at<br />

11.30am on <strong>June</strong> 17, sparking<br />

a two-and-a half-hour rescue<br />

operation involving about eight<br />

people.<br />

“I couldn’t<br />

bear to not<br />

see it through<br />

and see<br />

her taken<br />

into a nicer<br />

environment,<br />

because I felt<br />

Kathryn<br />

Meyers<br />

humans had<br />

failed her by<br />

leaving her<br />

there,” Meyers said.<br />

The group was able to get<br />

the kunekune standing and<br />

transport it to the Christchurch<br />

SPCA about 2pm, where it is<br />

understood it was euthanised<br />

the following day due to severe<br />

arthritis.<br />

Whoever dumped the pig left<br />

sawdust and hay bedding, as<br />

well as pig nuts, kiwifruit and<br />

leeks. However, the food was out<br />

of reach.<br />

Meyers said the pig seemed<br />

hungry and eagerly ate from her<br />

hands.<br />

“She was very gentle and<br />

friendly. I was patting her a lot,”<br />

Meyers said.<br />

Chlorination<br />

of district’s<br />

water on<br />

the horizon<br />

• By Susan Sandys<br />

BLANKET chlorination of the<br />

district’s water supplies is on<br />

the horizon as new nationwide<br />

legislation comes into force.<br />

The district council is undertaking<br />

a $2 million upgrade of supplies<br />

with chlorination equipment, as it<br />

strives to meet the requirements of<br />

the Water Services Act 2021.<br />

The Act requires all councils to be<br />

able to chlorinate public drinking<br />

water supplies and begin chlorination<br />

by November 15, unless<br />

they have an exemption from the<br />

Government’s new drinking water<br />

regulator Taumata Arowai.<br />

However, meeting the criteria for<br />

exemptions could cost ratepayers<br />

tens of millions of dollars.<br />

Currently, only nine of the district’s<br />

27 drinking water supplies are permanently<br />

chlorinated – Upper <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

Huts, Dalethorpe, Hororata-Acheron<br />

(Hororata), Hororata-Acheron<br />

(Acheron), Sheffield/Waddington,<br />

Springfield, Castle Hill, Hartleys Rd<br />

(Malvern Hills) and Arthur’s Pass.<br />

Group manager infrastructure<br />

Murray Washington said the<br />

district council is ensuring all<br />

remaining supplies have the<br />

infrastructure in place, completing<br />

the installation of chlorination units<br />

in the coming months.<br />

Flyover: Business may have to move<br />

A BUSINESS with purposebuilt<br />

headquarters at Rolleston<br />

is faced with having to move if<br />

the Rolleston flyover goes ahead<br />

as planned.<br />

Christchurch RV Centre<br />

office manager Allicia Beirne<br />

said the new NZ Transport<br />

Agency Waka Kotahi concept<br />

plan released last week revealed<br />

motorists towing caravans coming<br />

off the flyover could find<br />

the turn into the caravan and<br />

motorhome business’ entrance<br />

too tight.<br />

“We are not happy about it, we<br />

don’t want to move, we haven’t<br />

even been here 12 months,”<br />

Beirne said.<br />

A Waka Kotahi spokesperson<br />

said the roading authority was<br />

in discussion with Christchurch<br />

RV Centre for alternative access<br />

options.<br />

“One of the options being<br />

weighed up at the moment is<br />

relocating their business to<br />

another site,” the spokesperson<br />

confirmed.<br />

The roading authority was<br />

actively engaging with directly<br />

affected parties to mitigate their<br />

concerns around access to their<br />

sites.<br />

Drummond and Etheridge<br />

Rolleston, next door to<br />

Christchurch RV Centre, is<br />

among those that also have<br />

concerns.<br />

FLYOVER: An artist’s impression of the planned Rolleston overbridge.<br />

Branch manager Murray<br />

Chesterman said he was awaiting<br />

more detail before making<br />

further comment.<br />

Some Jones Rd businesses<br />

support the new plan.<br />

MTF Finance franchise owner<br />

Dan Groundwater said it would<br />

allow traffic to continue onto<br />

Jones Rd, while the original flyover<br />

plan released last year had<br />

proposed to take traffic away<br />

from it.<br />

U-Tow New Zealand spokesperson<br />

Tony Walker said the<br />

new flyover would potentially<br />

give more exposure to his business<br />

as it exited nearby.<br />

Waka Kotahi director of<br />

regional relationships James<br />

Caygill said the roading authority<br />

was seeking feedback to July<br />

22.<br />

The $125 million project aims<br />

to improve connections across<br />

the highway between Rolleston’s<br />

residential side and industrial<br />

and business hubs and railway<br />

inland port zone.<br />

“Since public consultation last<br />

year, the team has taken another<br />

look at ways the residential and<br />

industrial sides of Rolleston can<br />

be better connected,” Caygill<br />

said.<br />

Mayor Sam Broughton welcomed<br />

the changes.<br />

He said as well as safer ways<br />

to cross and connect Rolleston,<br />

the plan offered people more<br />

travel choice.<br />

“This project will provide<br />

better travel options, keep<br />

our people safe and help our<br />

district’s economy grow,”<br />

Broughton said.<br />

Exemption from water chlorination costly<br />

• From page 1<br />

The district council would<br />

then begin chlorination on a<br />

scheme-by-scheme basis.<br />

“Residents on each supply will<br />

be contacted directly before the<br />

chlorine is turned on for their<br />

supply,” Washington said.<br />

The district council planned<br />

to work with each community<br />

on costs and rating options for<br />

upgrades needed to gain exemptions.<br />

He said the district council<br />

had already begun the process of<br />

applying for exemptions.<br />

“As far as we know, <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

was the first council in the country<br />

to file an application for an<br />

exemption from chlorination,”<br />

Washington said.<br />

This was in<br />

keeping with<br />

the district<br />

council’s commitment<br />

in its<br />

Long-Term Plan<br />

2021-2031, that<br />

Murray<br />

Washington<br />

it would work<br />

with Taumata<br />

Arowai to clarify<br />

exemption<br />

requirements, alongside working<br />

with the community.<br />

“As this process continues<br />

we will keep working with our<br />

community, while ensuring we<br />

comply with the law to keep our<br />

drinking water safe,” Washington<br />

said.<br />

“Where a scheme does not<br />

have an exemption on November<br />

15, <strong>2022</strong>, temporary chlorination<br />

will continue as required by law.”<br />

Figures in the long-term plan<br />

released last year show ratepayers<br />

may have to consider high<br />

costs if they are wanting to avoid<br />

chlorination.<br />

The district council said it<br />

would cost $30 million upwards<br />

she wrote. Meyers believed it had<br />

been left there, off to the side of<br />

Weedons Ross Rd near West Melton<br />

Forest, within the last hour as<br />

she noticed it when she ran past<br />

an hour earlier.<br />

Megan Strydon and her friend<br />

Steph Milne came across the<br />

small group that had gathered as<br />

they were riding their horses in<br />

the area.<br />

Strydon is co-manager of Arion<br />

Farm Education Park at McLeans<br />

Island, and called on her experience<br />

with kunekune pigs. She<br />

was able to get it standing, but<br />

found due to its suspected arthritis<br />

the pig could only walk on its<br />

knees.<br />

The vet administered pain<br />

relief and Strydon and Milne<br />

for infrastructure across the<br />

district, such as inline ultraviolet<br />

treatment, new secure groundwater<br />

sources, leakage reduction<br />

in the reticulation network and<br />

upgrades of reservoirs.<br />

More than half of long-term<br />

plan submitters who listed a<br />

preference on drinking water<br />

safety wanted the district council<br />

to upgrade some supplies so they<br />

could avoid chlorination.<br />

A Taumata Arowai media<br />

spokeswoman referred the<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> to its website for<br />

the criteria required to obtain<br />

an exemption.<br />

used their horse float to transport<br />

it to the SPCA, which agreed to<br />

take it in.<br />

Strydon said the pig had<br />

obviously been a pet. It was a<br />

fully grown adult female, but not<br />

elderly. It had been well looked<br />

after, with a “beautiful coat” and<br />

trimmed hooves.<br />

She condemned the actions<br />

of the person or people who<br />

dumped it. She urged anyone<br />

considering dumping animals to<br />

think about the distress it caused<br />

them. Pigs in particular are<br />

sociable and intelligent creatures,<br />

like dogs.<br />

The website said district councils<br />

must provide documents on<br />

how they intend to operate the<br />

supplies safely without chlorination.<br />

An external advisory panel<br />

of international experts would<br />

assist Taumata Arowai with<br />

the technical aspects of each<br />

application.<br />

Abandonment condemned by rescuers<br />

“If I put it politely, I think it’s<br />

disgusting. There’s always a better<br />

way, even if they got a farmer to<br />

come and shoot her, that would<br />

have been better than starving and<br />

freezing to death on the side of the<br />

road,” Strydon said.<br />

She went back to the SPCA the<br />

following day, learning later that<br />

day it had been put to sleep following<br />

an examination by a pig<br />

specialist.<br />

“They did try,” Strydon said.<br />

A SPCA spokesperson said the<br />

organisation was conducting an<br />

investigation and was unable to<br />

make any comment.<br />

Hospital may become health facility<br />

• By Susan Sandys<br />

THE FORMER Lincoln<br />

Maternity Hospital building<br />

may in future become a health<br />

facility.<br />

Lincoln residents have had<br />

their wish realised, of retaining<br />

the building in the community –<br />

for now.<br />

At the last meeting of the Canterbury<br />

District Health Board,<br />

board members decided not to<br />

proceed with selling the hospital<br />

building and its land at this time.<br />

The hospital closed May 31, as<br />

its services were located to the<br />

new Oromairaki birthing unit at<br />

Rolleston.<br />

Executive director planning,<br />

funding and decision support,<br />

Tracey Maisey, said the future of<br />

the building was considered at<br />

the final meeting of the health<br />

board recently, prior to the transition<br />

to Health New Zealand<br />

this Friday.<br />

“The board resolved not to<br />

proceed with disposal at this<br />

time,” Maisey said.<br />

“The decision was made to<br />

wait until Health New Zealand<br />

had an opportunity to undertake<br />

a wider review of property<br />

required to meet long term demand<br />

or health planning needs<br />

of the region,” Maisey said.<br />

Long-time Lincoln area<br />

resident Sue Jarvis welcomed the<br />

decision, as it would allow more<br />

time for the community’s needs<br />

to be taken into account.<br />

The building was a<br />

“lovely” and “homely”<br />

large villa, with plenty of<br />

rooms. It would make a<br />

good medical centre or<br />

other health facility, or a<br />

community facility such<br />

an arts centre.<br />

Jarvis is also a cofounder<br />

of the Lincoln<br />

Community Garden at the site,<br />

and among residents who want<br />

the garden to be able to remain<br />

there.<br />

Sue Jarvis<br />

The CDHB allowed Lincoln<br />

Envirotown to establish the community<br />

garden at the site<br />

in 2008, and it has operated<br />

there ever since.<br />

The 5401 m2 property<br />

contains the garden,<br />

alongside the original<br />

1926 maternity building,<br />

and a 2011 dental building.<br />

“The Lincoln Community<br />

Garden continues to<br />

be welcome to use the site in the<br />

meantime,” Maisey said.<br />

However, Lincoln Envirotown<br />

Trust project manager Dave<br />

REPRIEVE:<br />

Canterbury<br />

District Health<br />

Board has<br />

decided not to<br />

proceed with<br />

selling the<br />

former Lincoln<br />

Maternity<br />

Hospital at this<br />

time.<br />

Fitzjohn said he expected the<br />

garden would ultimately need<br />

to relocate, as there was no<br />

long-term guarantee that Health<br />

New Zealand would not sell<br />

the site. The trust operates the<br />

garden.<br />

“Even in the short term there<br />

is no guarantee that services<br />

such as water to the site will<br />

continue,” Fitzjohn said.<br />

However, relocating the garden<br />

in itself could be seen as an<br />

exciting new project, in which<br />

Lincoln Envirotown would<br />

involve the whole community,<br />

he said.<br />

The Canterbury District<br />

Health Board has now<br />

released a summary<br />

of submissions from a<br />

consultation phase on its<br />

proposal to sell the Lincoln<br />

Maternity Hospital and land<br />

last year.<br />

Twenty-one of 28 submitters<br />

did not support disposal,<br />

preferring to see the property<br />

retained by the health board.<br />

Residents had noted the<br />

growth of Lincoln township<br />

in their comments, some<br />

referring to the future need<br />

for a medical facility.<br />

Others wanted to see the<br />

property retained for older<br />

persons health care, aged residential<br />

and respite care, or<br />

support and accommodation<br />

for people with disabilities.<br />

Many wanted to see the property<br />

used for the benefit of the<br />

community, perhaps through<br />

the district council or another<br />

organisation.<br />

Some submissions noted<br />

the community gardens<br />

located on the rear of the<br />

property.<br />

Of the seven submitters<br />

who favoured disposal, three<br />

stated that they were in favour<br />

of disposal but wanted to see<br />

the land retained for health<br />

or community purposes.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> Waihora Water Zone Committee<br />

Supporting the restoration of Boat Creek Reserve<br />

The <strong>Selwyn</strong> Waihora Water Zone Committee is supporting a project to<br />

restore and enhance Boat Creek and its reserve, located adjacent to<br />

the Rakaia Huts village.<br />

The Rakaia Huts community group, in partnership with Water and<br />

Wildlife Habitat Trust, is leading the restoration project, which seeks to<br />

enhance the reserve as a freshwater and native bush habitat hub that<br />

sustains fish and bird life. The project also aims to improve water quality<br />

in the lagoon and river catchment, acknowledge the cultural significance<br />

of the area, and provide recreational access for everyone to enjoy.<br />

With over 50 people volunteering about 1,800 hours of<br />

labour, their most recent achievements include predator<br />

control and planting 6,000 native seedlings in the reserve,<br />

with more to come.<br />

The Water Zone Committee is supporting the project with<br />

$15,000 for weed control and planting, through its recently<br />

introduced Canterbury Water Management Strategy Action<br />

Plan Budget.<br />

The <strong>Selwyn</strong> Waihora Water Zone Committee is a joint committee<br />

made up of community members, rūnanga and local councils.<br />

• By Susan Sandys<br />

SELWYN SKI areas are revelling<br />

in plenty of snow as they gear up<br />

for opening.<br />

Craigieburn Valley Ski Area<br />

president Sander Kriek said a<br />

mid-<strong>June</strong> storm had favoured<br />

the district’s six skifields as it had<br />

come in from the west.<br />

For Craigieburn, the snowfall<br />

and wind-carried snow had<br />

resulted in “phenomenal” levels<br />

of three-to-four metres. It<br />

had been the biggest snowfall<br />

since 2011.<br />

“When we get open, it will be<br />

the best base we have had in over<br />

10 years,” Kriek said.<br />

The weekend had been spent<br />

digging out lifts, as members<br />

prepared for opening on<br />

July 16.<br />

Mt Cheeseman Ski Area<br />

mountain manager Cam Lill said<br />

up to 1.5m of snow had fallen,<br />

making for an “epic battle”<br />

through downed beech trees and<br />

snow drifts to get up the access<br />

road.<br />

EARLY OPENING: Mt Cheeseman ski patrollers Scott Earnshaw, Carter Spencer and Ben De-Jong out monitoring the<br />

snow pack, while Craigieburn Valley Ski Area president Sander Kriek (above right) and fellow volunteers dig out a rope<br />

tow.<br />

Skifields set to open with best<br />

snow levels in a decade<br />

At the weekend volunteers got<br />

digging, finding the deck and<br />

pathways for the skifield main<br />

building.<br />

“It’s certainly looking fantastic<br />

and gives us great confidence<br />

to open on time for the school<br />

holidays,” Lill said.<br />

The ski area was aiming to<br />

open July 9. It would be the first<br />

time in four years it had been<br />

able to open in time for the start<br />

of the July school holidays.<br />

The big snowfall motivated<br />

Broken River members to push<br />

for opening last Sunday, but<br />

they reported on their Facebook<br />

page it had now been put back to<br />

this coming weekend after some<br />

unexpected backward steps.<br />

Porters Alpine Resort is<br />

planning to open this Friday,<br />

after launching a new snowplay<br />

and toboggan zone earlier this<br />

month, which has been accessed<br />

by hundreds of people each<br />

weekend.<br />

Mt Olympus and Temple Basin<br />

have also reported high snow<br />

levels from the storm.<br />

WHAT IS going on with this<br />

council and not representing<br />

the people of <strong>Selwyn</strong> in respect<br />

of PC69 Lincoln South (<strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

<strong>Times</strong>, <strong>June</strong> 22).<br />

THe community clearly does<br />

not support this change and<br />

the Springs Ward are being<br />

terribly represented by our three<br />

councillors.<br />

Councillor Debra Hasson<br />

hiding behind a dubious conflict<br />

of interest , Cr Grant Miller<br />

clearly understanding that our<br />

community vehemently does<br />

not agree with this change but<br />

still voting in favour of it and Cr<br />

Malcolm Lyall being absent from<br />

such an important vote for this<br />

community.<br />

This is what Cr Grant Miller<br />

said at the <strong>June</strong> 8 council meeting<br />

– “There is no doubt a significant<br />

portion of the Springs community<br />

is highly concerned about<br />

this proposal.” He voted in favour<br />

We want to hear your views<br />

on the issues affecting life<br />

in <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

Send emails to:<br />

barry@starmedia.kiwi<br />

of this plan change knowing this.<br />

Clearly aware that his community<br />

does not support this plan<br />

change, he still voted in favour,<br />

hiding behind the convenient adage<br />

of following proper process.<br />

Your community is beyond<br />

disappointed is your absent leadership<br />

and fundamental failure to<br />

represent the people that elected<br />

you.<br />

I understand most of the<br />

councillors are standing behind<br />

having to accept the commissioner’s<br />

recommendation and not<br />

wanting to “impact the integrity<br />

of the process”, I recommend you<br />

represent the people that elected<br />

you, stop being cowards hiding<br />

behind a fictitious conflict of<br />

interest and challenge a recommendation<br />

that is not supported<br />

by this community.<br />

Looking forward to the <strong>2022</strong><br />

council elections. – Bevan<br />

Lincoln South decision Big plans for solar farms<br />

• By Jonathan Leask<br />

THE COMPANY behind a largescale<br />

solar farm planned for Mid-<br />

Canterbury also has a consent<br />

application being processed by<br />

the district council.<br />

HES Aotearoa has been<br />

approved a land use consent<br />

to construct a solar farm in<br />

Lauriston, and has made an<br />

application for a site near<br />

Dunsandel.<br />

A new joint venture formed by<br />

UK-based Hive Energy, Ethical<br />

Power, and Solar South West in<br />

2021, HES Aotearoa is aiming to<br />

develop solar assets across New<br />

Zealand.<br />

The company is expected to<br />

develop a pipeline of nearly 350<br />

megawatts of utility scale PV<br />

solar assets across the country,<br />

supporting the Government’s<br />

commitment to achieving 100 per<br />

cent renewable energy generation<br />

in the country by 2030.<br />

The Lauriston site is<br />

understood to be capable of<br />

producing 50mW of power,<br />

which EA Networks chief<br />

executive Roger Sutton said is<br />

enough power to mean Mid-<br />

Canterbury would be energy<br />

self-sufficient on a normal day,<br />

and not have to take from the<br />

national grid.<br />

“On days when there is little<br />

irrigation load or not much<br />

heating load, the district would<br />

be self-sufficient and it might<br />

POWER: EA Networks chief executive Roger Sutton says<br />

solar currently produces about one per cent of New<br />

Zealand’s energy.<br />

even be a net exporter of energy<br />

to the grid,” Sutton said.<br />

The district has the Highbank<br />

hydro-electric power station that<br />

can generate up to 25mW, he<br />

said.<br />

The average load on the<br />

network during the day in<br />

winter is around 50mW and<br />

rises to 180mW in summer<br />

when irrigators are in full swing,<br />

Sutton said.<br />

Highbank produces half the<br />

power required in winter, but<br />

does not operate in summer as<br />

the water is used for irrigation.<br />

Sutton said the increase in<br />

solar, and other renewable<br />

energy sources, changes the<br />

supply and demand balance<br />

and will lead to lower prices for<br />

customers.<br />

“At the moment the amount of<br />

solar in New Zealand is actually<br />

very small and produces around<br />

one per cent of our energy.<br />

“The forecasts are that within<br />

15 years maybe 15 to 20 per cent<br />

on some days will come from<br />

solar.”<br />

While a large scale solar farm<br />

is in the works, Sutton said he is<br />

unaware of any plans for wind<br />

generation.<br />

Pinup contestant launches<br />

vintage extravaganza<br />

• By Susan Sandys<br />

RETROSPECTIVE: Sharvelle Mackay is launching a<br />

nationwide vintage festival that will be held at Lincoln<br />

Event Centre in September.<br />

FORMER MISS Pinup New<br />

Zealand contestant Sharvelle<br />

Mackay of Rolleston is<br />

launching a new nationwide<br />

annual vintage festival.<br />

Expected to attract up to 4000<br />

people from across New Zealand,<br />

the inaugural Vintage Fest<br />

NZ will be held September 24 at<br />

Lincoln Event Centre.<br />

“It is New Zealand’s newest<br />

vintage extravaganza, where we<br />

will celebrate and commemorate<br />

the years gone by,” Mackay said.<br />

New events will be a Miss<br />

Vintage Australasia pinup competition<br />

and evening Victory<br />

Dance, from which proceeds<br />

will go to the military charity<br />

Te Kiwi Māia. There will also be<br />

a pre-1969 classic and vintage<br />

vehicle show, sizeable military<br />

display, vintage and classic car<br />

show, pageants, photography<br />

competition and displays, live<br />

music, stalls, food and a mini<br />

vintage carnival.<br />

Mackay said she and fellow<br />

committee members were<br />

pleased to have the support of<br />

the district council for the event.<br />

The Miss Vintage Australasia<br />

would be an international pageant,<br />

bringing in entries from<br />

across the Tasman, thereby creating<br />

connections between New<br />

Zealand and Australian vintage<br />

communities.<br />

“I have already been invited<br />

to judge over in Australia at<br />

Chrome Fest as part of launching<br />

Vintage Fest NZ, which is<br />

very exciting,” Mackay said.<br />

Mackay is a long-time fan of<br />

all things vintage. Last year she<br />

was runner-up at the nationwide<br />

Miss Pinup New Zealand<br />

pageant, where she competed as<br />

Miss Chevy Chevelle.<br />

BACKYARD CRITTERS<br />

NEWS 11<br />

Mike Bowie is an ecologist who specialises in<br />

entomology (insects and other invertebrates).<br />

Each week he introduces a new species found<br />

in his backyard at Lincoln. His column aims<br />

to raise public awareness of biodiversity, the<br />

variety of living things around us. Check out<br />

the full list of invertebrates found at www.<br />

inaturalist.org/projects/backyard-biodiversity-bugs-in-mylincoln-section<br />

THE TERM “bug” is confusing,<br />

as to many people it means all<br />

insects or even invertebrates.<br />

However, to an entomologist,<br />

true bugs or Hemiptera are only<br />

a small subset of all insects.<br />

They all possess a piercing and<br />

sucking mouthpart, usually for<br />

feeding on plant sap.<br />

Hemiptera include species<br />

such as aphids, cicadas,<br />

planthoppers, leafhoppers<br />

and shield bugs. There are<br />

some non-plant sucking<br />

Hemiptera including<br />

bed bugs and others that<br />

prey on insects.<br />

A vegetarian example<br />

commonly seen in the summer is<br />

the wheat bug or Nysius huttoni.<br />

It is a New Zealand endemic,<br />

widely distributed throughout<br />

North and South Islands, as well<br />

as Chatham and Three Kings<br />

Islands. More recently it has been<br />

found in England, Belgium, and<br />

the Netherlands.<br />

The wheat bug is known from<br />

sea level to 1800m altitude, in<br />

Wednesday <strong>June</strong> <strong>29</strong> <strong>2022</strong> <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong><br />

What defines a ‘bug’<br />

diverse areas including gardens,<br />

lawns, weedy fields, orchards,<br />

roadsides, pasture, wastelands,<br />

and riverbeds.<br />

It can potentially be found anywhere<br />

where sparse vegetation<br />

allows sun to reach the<br />

ground. Adult wheat bugs<br />

are 2.4 to 4.5mm in length<br />

and dull brownish grey in<br />

colour.<br />

The wheat bug is a<br />

polyphagous species<br />

feeding on more than<br />

75 plant species including<br />

cereals, vegetables,<br />

weeds, and horticultural<br />

plants. It can be a major<br />

pest of brassica seedlings including<br />

kale, rape, turnip and swede,<br />

and can be a huge problem in<br />

wheat also.<br />

These bugs inject saliva<br />

containing enzymes into foods to<br />

liquidise the contents to ingest.<br />

When feeding on wheat grains<br />

the enzymes alter the gluten<br />

protein severely reducing its<br />

baking quality and marketability.<br />

Predator trapping and native planting<br />

pay off with bellbird sightings<br />

• By Susan Sandys<br />

NATIVE BIRDS at Kirwee are<br />

getting a chance at survival<br />

thanks to the ongoing trapping<br />

efforts.<br />

There have been reports<br />

of the sound and sight of<br />

bellbirds in the village itself in<br />

recent months, with residents<br />

attributing this to trapping,<br />

alongside planting of natives in<br />

Kirwee Reserve and in residents’<br />

gardens.<br />

In the last two years, residents<br />

under the umbrella of Predator<br />

Free Kirwee have trapped 224<br />

rats, 201 hedgehogs, 64 feral cats,<br />

47 mustelids and 32 possums.<br />

Resident Jessica Vereijssen said<br />

she had photographed a bellbird<br />

in her garden this month, after<br />

seeing one for the first time since<br />

she moved there 14 years ago.<br />

“There has been a rumour re<br />

a bellbird in Kirwee for a while,<br />

now we have some photos as<br />

proof,” she said.<br />

Predator Free Kirwee coordinators<br />

Nicci Dillon and<br />

Kelvin Sewell said the group’s<br />

30 members run 110 traps in<br />

and around the village, as well<br />

as on lifestyle blocks and farms.<br />

The area covered is from around<br />

Kirwee to as far as Halkett and<br />

the Waimakariri River.<br />

Dillon said wildlife was also<br />

being assisted by more native<br />

plantings in people’s gardens.<br />

This provided food for birds,<br />

such as bellbirds, fantails and<br />

grey warblers.<br />

Trapping for feral cats was<br />

undertaken only with live traps<br />

checked every 24 hours, and<br />

only outside of the village. She<br />

said feral cats were the worst<br />

predator for native wildlife on<br />

the surrounding farms and<br />

wilderness areas.<br />

“Because they just eat<br />

everything, they will just keep<br />

eating. And they roam for miles,<br />

they breed really well,” Dillon<br />

said.<br />

She welcomed the district<br />

council becoming the first in<br />

the South Island to introduce<br />

mandatory microchipping of cats<br />

as of July 1, as this would help<br />

when it came to determining<br />

whether a trapped cat was lost<br />

from its home, or feral.<br />

Dillon said nothing had<br />

been done for a long time to<br />

manage feral cat populations.<br />

She believed they should be<br />

officially classified as a pest so<br />

they could be managed as part of<br />

Environment Canterbury’s Long<br />

Term Plan.<br />

Her call echoes that made by<br />

Forest & Bird last week, which<br />

wants the 2050 Predator Free<br />

goals to include cats.<br />

ECan principal adviser<br />

biosecurity Laurence Smith<br />

said the issue of feral cats was<br />

complex. Previous work had<br />

determined more consultation<br />

was required on the control of<br />

feral cats while considering the<br />

management of domestic cats.<br />

The regional council was in the<br />

initial stages of assessing more<br />

than 1000 organisms, including<br />

feral cats, as candidates for<br />

GROUP EFFORT:<br />

Kelvin Sewell said<br />

Predator Free Kirwee<br />

members run 110<br />

traps in and around<br />

the village.<br />

future pest management.<br />

“Declaration as a pest<br />

doesn’t mean resourcing will<br />

be provided for management<br />

or control. Alternative<br />

management options could be<br />

explored including co-ordinated<br />

community-funded projects in<br />

specific areas or catchments,”<br />

Smith said.<br />

MANAGEMENT: Bellbirds have been sighted in Kirwee thanks to residents’ trapping and planting efforts, however some<br />

believe more needs to be done to manage feral cats.<br />

Council confirms plans for the year<br />

The Council has adopted its Annual Plan for the next 12 months, with a focus on delivering in the key<br />

areas identified by the community.<br />

The plan commits to a $112.5 million capital plan to deliver on the needs for growth and the plans agreed<br />

with the community through the Long-Term Plan (LTP) last year.<br />

They include $20.2m in water supply projects; $21.6m in wastewater projects; and $20.4m in<br />

transportation projects across our growing district.<br />

The plan adopted four new projects following consultation. The Council confirmed its support of a<br />

proposal by Go Hororātā to establish a community hub at the current Hororātā Community Hall. This<br />

would including providing $1 million of funding as agreed in the Long-Term Plan, with no impact on rates<br />

and be subject to a feasibility study, and preparation of a Memorandum of Understanding.<br />

It also confirmed the closure of parts of the Upper Ellesmere Water Race over a five year period, the<br />

water race ratings and a $20 Ecological Enhancement targeted rate and harmonisation of Land Drainage<br />

rates for investing in biodiversity.<br />

The projects deliver on the community’s expectations, Mayor Sam Broughton says.<br />

“<strong>Selwyn</strong> is a growing district and remains a great place to live and work. Last year we agreed a strong<br />

plan with the community to meet the challenges we face and ensure that we strengthen the aspects<br />

that make us the most popular place to live in the country. We’ve checked in with our community and<br />

confirmed that we’re on the right track with the projects that matter most to them.”<br />

The average rates increase is 6%. Rate changes will vary for individual households. The 6% average<br />

increase is slightly higher than the 4.9%<br />

average forecast in the LTP last year – but is<br />

in line with the current levels of inflation in<br />

New Zealand, reflecting the increased costs<br />

the Council is facing in delivering what the<br />

community has asked for.<br />

The plan was agreed following consultation<br />

and public hearings. A total of 140 formal<br />

submission were received. Of these, 28<br />

submitters were heard in public hearings that<br />

took place over two days.<br />

The decision to include the cat microchipping requirement was<br />

made following the strong support it received during public<br />

consultation. <strong>Selwyn</strong> is the fourth council in the country to require<br />

microchipping of cats.<br />

“Microchipping your cat is the best way to ensure your lost pet gets<br />

home. It is also considered key to being a responsible pet owner,”<br />

says Council’s Regulatory Manager Susan Atherton. “A cat may<br />

go missing for a number of reasons. Often cats are also presumed<br />

to be strays and are taken to shelters by well-meaning people.<br />

Microchipping allows veterinarians and animal shelters, such as<br />

SPCA, to contact the owner once their cat is found.”<br />

Cat owners are responsible for the one-off cost of microchipping<br />

and registration for the life of the cat with the approved microchip<br />

registry, the New Zealand Companion Animals Register (NZCAR).<br />

Microchipping can be done at any local vet. The registration with<br />

NZCAR is most commonly done for the owner by their vet at the<br />

time of microchipping, or by SPCA/Rescues at the time of adoption.<br />

The Council will take an educational approach to encouraging<br />

people to microchip and register their pet.<br />

“We believe most pet owners are already responsible owners who<br />

are doing their best to ensure that<br />

if their cat ever gets lost it can be<br />

returned home safely,” says Mrs<br />

Atherton.<br />

If people find a stray cat they<br />

should continue to take them to a<br />

cat rescue, SPCA or their local vet.<br />

Council supplies to meet new<br />

national water rules<br />

The Council will be upgrading water supplies over the remainder of<br />

the year to meet new national rules for keeping drinking water safe.<br />

The Council is working to meet the requirements of the Water<br />

Services Act 2021, which requires all councils to be able to provide<br />

residual disinfection (chlorine) for all public drinking water supplies<br />

and for all supplies to be chlorinated by 15 November <strong>2022</strong>, unless<br />

they have an exemption from the drinking water authority<br />

Taumata Arowai.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> has 27 drinking water supplies, providing drinking water<br />

to 70% of the district’s residents. Nine of these supplies are<br />

permanently chlorinated and the Council has begun the work to<br />

ensure all remaining supplies have the infrastructure in place to<br />

provide chlorination.<br />

Over the coming months, the Council will be completing the<br />

installation of this infrastructure and beginning chlorination on a<br />

scheme-by-scheme basis, to comply with the law. Residents will be<br />

contacted directly before the chlorine is turned on for their supply.<br />

The Council has also begun applying for exemptions for schemes<br />

that are not already chlorinated, Council Group Manager<br />

Infrastructure Murray Washington says.<br />

“As far as we know, <strong>Selwyn</strong> was the first council in the country to file<br />

an application for an exemption from chlorination. This is in keeping<br />

with our commitment in the Council’s Long-Term Plan 2021-2031<br />

that we would work with Taumata Arowai to clarify the requirements<br />

for exemption, and work with<br />

the community on the costs and<br />

rating options for the upgrades<br />

needed to gain exemptions.<br />

As this process continues we<br />

will keep working with our<br />

community, while ensuring we<br />

comply with the law to keep our<br />

drinking water safe.”<br />

Where a scheme does not have<br />

an exemption on 15 November<br />

<strong>2022</strong> temporary chlorination will<br />

continue as required by law. For<br />

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

Injecting horse likely to result in ban<br />

• By Chris Barclay<br />

THE controversy-plagued<br />

Canterbury harness racing<br />

industry is poised to lose another<br />

up-and-coming trainer as Cam<br />

Jones awaits a ban for illegally<br />

injecting a horse hours before a<br />

race at Addington.<br />

Jones is the latest industry<br />

participant to face sanctions as<br />

the Racing Integrity Board strive<br />

to clean up the sport, after he<br />

eventually admitted breaching<br />

a Harness Racing New Zealand<br />

rule of racing last year.<br />

He will join another former<br />

Woodend Beach-based trainer<br />

Jesse Alford and disgraced Rangiora<br />

horseman Mitchell Kerr in<br />

exile after acknowledging he injected<br />

Johnny Nevits with a substance<br />

about 2-1/2 hours before<br />

it was due to start at Addington<br />

Raceway on December 10.<br />

Johnny Nevits was previously<br />

trained by Alford, who was disqualified<br />

for seven years in May<br />

2021 for injecting the horse with<br />

formalin, a banned substance<br />

used to control bleeding.<br />

A month earlier Kerr was<br />

banned for life for selling a nonexistent<br />

horse and also charging<br />

insurance premiums for fictitious<br />

policies.<br />

Senior trainer Nigel McGrath<br />

was also disqualified for eight<br />

years in July 2020 for attempting<br />

to dope horses while Operation<br />

BREACH: Promising harness racing trainer Cam Jones is<br />

poised to be banned from the sport after injecting a horse<br />

shorty before it was to race at Addington.<br />

Inca, a National Organised<br />

Crime Group probe into corruption<br />

and drug use in the industry<br />

is also ongoing.<br />

Jones pleaded for leniency – a<br />

ban less than half the punishment<br />

sought by the RIB – when<br />

he appeared before a RIB penalty<br />

hearing.<br />

“I’d like to ask if you’d<br />

consider a period of 12 months<br />

disqualification … I’d like my<br />

story to be one of redemption,”<br />

he said.<br />

RIB adjudicator Professor<br />

Geoff Hall reserved his decision.<br />

The RIB wants a ban of not less<br />

than two years.<br />

After denying he breached a<br />

rule when investigators swooped<br />

on his stable, Jones admitted the<br />

charge in April.<br />

“When I was being interviewed<br />

I did lie, I knew when the<br />

truth came out it was going to be<br />

it for me for a while,” Jones said.<br />

Investigators witnessed Jones<br />

depositing an item subsequently<br />

identified as a hypodermic<br />

syringe into a wheelie bin at his<br />

stable, shortly before he loaded<br />

Johnny Nevits onto a float.<br />

Fellow trainer Andrew Fitzgerald<br />

told investigators he saw<br />

Jones with an empty syringe, but<br />

he had not seen him inject the<br />

horse.<br />

A RIB vet inspected Johnny<br />

Nevits at Addington and<br />

detected a 10mm soft swelling<br />

on the left jugular vein,<br />

consistent with an intravenous<br />

injection site.<br />

Injecting a horse with any<br />

substance on race day is prohibited;<br />

the maximum penalties<br />

are a $20,000 fine and/or being<br />

disqualified from holding a<br />

training licence for a period not<br />

exceeding five years.<br />

Johnny Nevits was scratched<br />

from the $10,950 race and was<br />

later retired due to a tendon issue.<br />

Urine and blood samples<br />

found no evidence of prohibited<br />

substances and the RIB was unaware<br />

what liquid was injected<br />

until the hearing, where Jones<br />

revealed he administered the<br />

product Flexadin in an attempt<br />

to calm Johnny Nevits before the<br />

race.<br />

“The horse was thought to<br />

have thyroid issues. Without it<br />

(Flexadin) he was quite a revvy<br />

sort of horse,” Jones said.<br />

“It was more (about) just trying<br />

to keep him in a good head<br />

space,” Jones said.<br />

Jones said the horse had<br />

Flexadin weekly for about two<br />

months, usually on a Tuesday.<br />

However, staff failed to administer<br />

the dose as scheduled so<br />

Jones, who had been absent for<br />

several days following the birth<br />

of his daughter, injected the<br />

horse on race day.<br />

“I wasn’t trying to get an edge.<br />

I was trying to save him being a<br />

hot sweaty mess so he’d run up<br />

to his ability, not add anything<br />

to him,” he said.<br />

A junior driver, who started<br />

training in September 2020,<br />

Jones has recorded 16 winners<br />

and 15 placings from 68 starts,<br />

earning $111,958 in stake money.<br />

He wound down his operation<br />

with a ban imminent, and said<br />

the solitary horse under his care<br />

would be moved within 24 hours<br />

of the penalty being imposed.<br />

Gotta light?<br />

Do it right.<br />

Smoke from outdoor burning can be a<br />

real nuisance for neighbours.<br />

If your property is under 2 hectares, you<br />

can’t burn outdoors, even if you live in a<br />

rural area.<br />

If your property is over 2 hectares, consider<br />

alternatives before lighting up, such as mulching,<br />

composting, kerbside collection or transfer<br />

stations.<br />

If you do carry out an outdoor burn, you can’t<br />

burn your rubbish or other banned materials.<br />

Get an efficient burn with these hot tips:<br />

• Choose the right weather: Cloudy days are the best for<br />

burning. They usually have light winds that disperse and<br />

reduce the spread of smoke.<br />

• Pile the debris: Small piles are better than one large one –<br />

they burn faster with less smoke. Remove as much dirt as<br />

possible from the debris before piling it.<br />

• Give it air: Make sure air can flow under the pile. It will<br />

burn hotter with less smoke. Remove any soot or ash that<br />

is upsetting airflow.<br />

• Finish burning before night-time: Cool temperatures make<br />

smoke sink and evening breezes take it to low-lying areas,<br />

creating a hazard and a nuisance.<br />

See ecan.govt.nz/outdoorburning for full rules and<br />

conditions when undertaking an outdoor burn and<br />

In <strong>Selwyn</strong> we’re fortunate to have some<br />

amazing venues, from old heritage<br />

style halls to award-winning modern<br />

venues the perfect location for your<br />

wedding awaits you in <strong>Selwyn</strong>.<br />

For places bursting with character<br />

there are a variety of historic halls such<br />

as the beautiful Broadfield Community<br />

Centre – a category two listed hall<br />

built in the 1870s – or the 1930-built<br />

and recently restored Southbridge<br />

Hall with its cream exterior coating<br />

and grand pillars. This iconic building<br />

is made especially with the bride<br />

and groom in mind. Featuring a<br />

large supper room and a hall with a<br />

mezzanine arched stage complete with<br />

red curtains, it’s the perfect place to say<br />

supper room, the Glenroy Community<br />

Hall complete with its high gable roof,<br />

is the dream location for a wedding.<br />

Royal red curtains frame the windows<br />

of the hall, with wreaths and bouquets<br />

hung up on the walls – a romantic<br />

place to say your vows, before you<br />

dance the night away on its wooden<br />

floors. With no shortage of parking,<br />

you enter the grounds through a<br />

classic country white picket fence.<br />

The Ladbrooks Community Hall,<br />

built in 1913 is bursting with character<br />

and features a great dance floor, built<br />

in stage and supper room.<br />

One of the winners of the 2019<br />

Canterbury Architecture Awards, the<br />

Lakeside Soldiers Memorial Hall was<br />

built in 2018 to replace the former<br />

earthquake-damaged hall. The hall has<br />

retained some of its old charm with the<br />

fireplace and the open sky courtyard at<br />

the heart of the building, is paved with<br />

bricks recovered from the original hall.<br />

A JUNIOR women’s rugby<br />

team is the focus of a study<br />

on the relationship between<br />

impact and concussions.<br />

Lincoln University<br />

kinesiology and exercise<br />

science PhD student Nicole<br />

Spriggs is researching the<br />

impact of the collisions the<br />

Prebbleton under-17 team<br />

takes over a season.<br />

“Most of the research on<br />

collisions and concussions<br />

in rugby is male dominated<br />

and on elite athletes, even<br />

though research suggests<br />

that concussions are worst in<br />

females and youth players,”<br />

Spriggs said.<br />

“Additionally youth<br />

players’ brains have not<br />

fully developed, so seeing if<br />

repetitive sub-concussion<br />

impacts (head knocks not<br />

heavy enough to result in a<br />

concussion) affects their brain<br />

health is important.”<br />

HitIQ instrumented mouth<br />

guards, which contain<br />

three accelerometers and a<br />

gyroscope, will record the<br />

impacts the players have above<br />

an 8G (gravitational force)<br />

threshold.<br />

Spriggs is investigating<br />

whether the collisions affect<br />

brain structure by using<br />

MRI scans, and brain<br />

function through a cognitive<br />

test.<br />

“The hope is to see if subconcussive<br />

impacts across the<br />

season affect players as well<br />

as investigating if concussive<br />

impacts affect players’ brain<br />

function/structure.<br />

“I’m collecting data across<br />

the <strong>2022</strong> and 2023 season,<br />

from around 33 games and 81<br />

trainings, so results would be<br />

expected in 2024.”<br />

team<br />

Wednesday <strong>June</strong> <strong>29</strong> <strong>2022</strong> <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong><br />

head coach Kevin Scovell said<br />

the club was keen to take part<br />

in the study.<br />

“We are looking forward<br />

to seeing how this progresses<br />

throughout the season and the<br />

results it could produce for<br />

the future of head knocks and<br />

concussions.”<br />

Spriggs is also part of a<br />

wider study with Canterbury<br />

University, which focuses<br />

on the usage of head gear to<br />

reduce impacts. The Waihora<br />

under-16 boys team is part of<br />

that research.<br />

“Hopefully we’ll get some<br />

interesting data where we can<br />

compare the boys and the<br />

girls,” she said.<br />

Milestones and tries for veterans<br />

• By Tatiana Gibbs<br />

A TRIO OF Ellesmere rugby<br />

veterans celebrated their<br />

milestones in style, each scoring<br />

tries as their clubs notched<br />

victories as the semi-finals loom.<br />

Lincoln prop Ryan Odering<br />

capped his 150th appearance by<br />

powering over against winless<br />

Rolleston while Richard Catherwood<br />

and Ryan Koning marked<br />

their 100th games for Darfield<br />

and Waihora respectively with a<br />

brace of five-pointers on Saturday.<br />

Waihora remain<br />

unbeaten<br />

in their quest<br />

for the Coleman<br />

Shield,<br />

beating West<br />

Melton 39-15,<br />

with No 8<br />

Richard<br />

Catherwood<br />

Koning scoring<br />

the contest’s<br />

opening and<br />

final tries.<br />

The loose forward, who joined<br />

the club a decade ago after<br />

moving from Southland, was a<br />

member of the Coleman Shield<br />

and Luisetti Seeds Combined<br />

Cup-winning squads in 2014 and<br />

continues to be a key player.<br />

“Ryan’s the heart and soul of<br />

the team and he’s also the fun,”<br />

said Waihora head coach Ross<br />

Soper.<br />

“He’s the first to run off the<br />

field after training and have<br />

a beer and he’ll be one of the<br />

last ones to leave. A Ryan that’s<br />

enjoying himself is a Ryan that’s<br />

best for the team.”<br />

Soper’s counterpart Chris<br />

Fifeld credited Waihora but was<br />

also proud of a line-up including<br />

eight colts players due to injuries.<br />

“It shows the depth of that<br />

colt’s team we’ve got, that they<br />

can come up and play for us like<br />

that,” Fifield said.<br />

Soper was also impressed with<br />

the opposition.<br />

“They were very good, they<br />

had nothing to lose. We just<br />

didn’t click into gear but that’s<br />

full credit to West Melton for not<br />

allowing us,” he said.<br />

Catherwood scored twice in<br />

a 66-18 thrashing of Hornby,<br />

which enabled Darfield to secure<br />

GROUNDED: Waihora’s milestone man Ryan Koning is<br />

tackled by West Melton defenders during his 100th senior<br />

appearance for the club.<br />

top spot ahead of this weekend’s<br />

bye.<br />

The second five-eighths, who<br />

played 56 games for Mid Canterbury,<br />

made his senior debut for<br />

Darfield in 2008 and returned<br />

to the club in 2017 after a sevenyear<br />

stint in Methven.<br />

“He’s playing better this year<br />

than what he probably has the<br />

last two or three seasons. He’s a<br />

good club man, he’s on the committee<br />

and puts a lot back into<br />

the club,” said Darfield manager<br />

Scott Mitchell said.<br />

Odering, who started in his<br />

landmark game, scored via a lineout<br />

drive during his 50-minute<br />

shift before Lincoln beat Rolleston<br />

22-12.<br />

“We kept him out there as long<br />

as we could, he looks the part,<br />

he’s sure fit enough,” said Lincoln<br />

head coach Bevan Sisson.<br />

“He’s a really nice top guy too,<br />

who just loves being involved<br />

with the club.”<br />

Rolleston had the consolation<br />

of fighting back from a 22-0 deficit,<br />

leaving Lincoln to search for<br />

an 80-minute performance.<br />

“It’s the story of our year really,<br />

we start really well and then just<br />

can’t seem to hang in there,” Sisson<br />

said.<br />

In the other Ellesmere fixture,<br />

Coleman Shield holders Southbridge<br />

were held to a 23-23 draw<br />

after trailing Springston 20-10<br />

with 10 minutes remaining.<br />

CENTURY MAKER: Koning leads out Waihora in his 100th<br />

senior game for the club.<br />

Southbridge scored two<br />

unconverted tries and a penalty<br />

to take the lead but Springston<br />

fullback Conner Hamlin squared<br />

the ledger with a late penalty.<br />

The stalemate leaves<br />

Southbridge and Springston tied<br />

third in the standings just two<br />

points ahead of Prebbleton with<br />

three regular season rounds<br />

remaining.<br />

PETS & PAWS<br />

Is your cat<br />

microchipped?<br />

The new <strong>Selwyn</strong> District Council<br />

by-law says that every person who<br />

keeps cats that are over four months old<br />

must have them microchipped and on<br />

the New Zealand Companion Animals<br />

Register (NZCAR) by July 1, <strong>2022</strong>.<br />

NZCAR is a nationwide animal registry<br />

that is dedicated to reuniting companion<br />

animals with their guardians as quickly<br />

and easily as possible.<br />

How to find out if your cat is<br />

registered on NZCAR<br />

If you know your cat’s microchip<br />

number (this should appear on its<br />

veterinary booklet), give your vet a call<br />

or call NZCAR directly on 0508 567873<br />

(0508 LOSTPET) or type in the number<br />

on the register’s website.<br />

If you are not sure if your<br />

cat is registered, take it to<br />

your local vet and ask them<br />

to scan it for a microchip. If<br />

it is microchipped, it will come<br />

up with a number.<br />

If your cat is not<br />

microchipped, your vet will be<br />

able to do this for a fee. You will<br />

get given copies of the microchip<br />

number for your reference. Ensure<br />

Cats are notorious for wandering. If<br />

your cat has become lost after moving<br />

Harness racing industry<br />

criticised following<br />

alleged sexual assault<br />

• By Chris Barclay<br />

A HARNESS racing lobby<br />

group has criticised the<br />

industry’s governing body<br />

for failing to stand down<br />

two trainers charged<br />

with sexually assaulting a<br />

female worker during New<br />

Zealand Cup Week last<br />

November.<br />

The Harness Racing<br />

Owners Federation wrote<br />

to Harness Racing New<br />

Zealand, the Racing<br />

Integrity Board and<br />

new Racing Minister<br />

Kieran McAnulty last<br />

week, frustrated the<br />

men – who have interim<br />

name suppression – were<br />

still able to work in the<br />

industry while criminal<br />

charges were pending.<br />

A Canterbury-based<br />

trainer, 25, faces two<br />

charges of indecent assault<br />

and a third charge of<br />

indecent assault allegedly<br />

committed with a <strong>29</strong>-yearold<br />

man, whose case has<br />

been transferred to the<br />

Invercargill district court.<br />

They are also jointly<br />

charged with assaulting the<br />

woman. All charges stem<br />

from an alleged incident<br />

on November 11.<br />

Federation spokesman<br />

Neil Bennett, a former<br />

owner who was chair of<br />

the now defunct New<br />

Zealand Trotting Owners<br />

Association, said HRNZ<br />

should follow the example<br />

of the Australian Rugby<br />

League Commission,<br />

which instituted a ‘no-fault<br />

stand down policy’ in 2019<br />

for NRL players facing<br />

serious charges.<br />

“It’s not a good look, it’s<br />

shocking for the industry.<br />

It’s an industry we love and<br />

Light<br />

Festival<br />

Neil Bennett<br />

we’re seeing it decimated,”<br />

Bennett said.<br />

“There should be a stand<br />

down policy when issues<br />

like this arise. We want<br />

them out of the game while<br />

the issue is investigated.”<br />

The letter stated: “What<br />

signals are you sending to<br />

the alleged victim and all<br />

the women in the industry<br />

with your lack of actions<br />

around this sexual assault<br />

case?<br />

“It is just not good<br />

enough to take no action<br />

and just wait until the<br />

court case is concluded<br />

and not even address them<br />

at all publicly.”<br />

Bennett said he had<br />

received an email from<br />

RIB chief executive Mike<br />

Clement, who told the<br />

online-based group of<br />

2500 member via email:<br />

“In certain circumstances<br />

it is open for HRNZ to<br />

consider suspension of<br />

licenses. This is a matter<br />

for HRNZ.<br />

“If the police had concerns<br />

about the safety of<br />

the victim pending disposition<br />

of the charges, then<br />

they would share those<br />

concerns with the RIB/<br />

that they have done so.”<br />

Bennett was awaiting<br />

a response from HRNZ<br />

chief executive Gary<br />

Woodham and McNulty,<br />

who assumed the racing<br />

portfolio from deputy<br />

prime minister Grant<br />

Robertson during a cabinet<br />

reshuffle last week.<br />

When approached by<br />

The Star Woodham could<br />

not confirm whether<br />

HRNZ had a policy where<br />

industry participants facing<br />

criminal charges are<br />

still able to work under the<br />

presumption of innocence.<br />

“As this case is via police,<br />

we have limited knowledge<br />

of information,” he said,<br />

adding he did not know<br />

the identity of the defendants.<br />

“We have not been told<br />

who the police are investigating,<br />

and they have name<br />

“As far as the<br />

JUNE OFTEN brings the start<br />

of rain and there is always cold<br />

weather, but there is still plenty to<br />

do in the garden such as pruning<br />

and planting trees.<br />

Here are some top tasks to keep<br />

you busy and warm.<br />

Now is the time to start planting<br />

any pip and stone fruit trees.<br />

New young trees are now available<br />

in garden centres; ensure you<br />

select healthy looking specimens.<br />

Consider your planting areas<br />

carefully, making sure your young<br />

tree has full exposure to the sun<br />

and is sheltered from strong prevailing<br />

winds.<br />

For existing pip and stone fruit<br />

trees, you can now begin pruning.<br />

Try to keep the tree height under<br />

three metres to allow for easier<br />

harvesting and netting of trees<br />

where birds are a problem.<br />

<strong>June</strong> is also a safe time to plant<br />

new ornamental trees and shrubs.<br />

Planting technique is important<br />

to allow new plants to thrive<br />

in both climatic extremes for<br />

example wet winters and hot dry<br />

summers. Also incorporate plenty<br />

of compost into the soil when<br />

planting new specimens. Spread<br />

compost around existing trees<br />

and shrubs to give them a boost.<br />

Continue to keep sowing and<br />

planting winter veges such as<br />

broccoli, cabbage cauliflower,<br />

peas and spinach to ensure a<br />

continuous supply.<br />

Protect empty garden beds by<br />

sowing green manure crops for<br />

example lupins. They protect the<br />

top soil from wind and water erosion<br />

and add organic matter back<br />

to the soil when dug in. Wait till<br />

they are about 15-20cm high then<br />

chop up with a spade as you dig<br />

them back into the soil.<br />

Prune roses when all the leaves<br />

have fallen and apply a winter<br />

clean up spray of copper oxychloride<br />

or lime sulphur after<br />

pruning. Remove and destroy<br />

any diseased wood after pruning.<br />

Replace any rose specimens that<br />

have not performed adequately or<br />

were heavily infected with black<br />

spot or rust during the growing<br />

season. Choose new varieties<br />

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

Prepare for spring planting<br />

from catalogues or visit your local<br />

gardening centre.<br />

<strong>June</strong> is an excellent time to plan<br />

new gardens in your property in<br />

preparation for spring planting. It<br />

is a good idea to monitor future<br />

garden areas for cold winds and<br />

excessive moisture, as both conditions<br />

will influence what you can<br />

plant in that area.<br />

Plant new shelter belts and or<br />

hedges where they are required.<br />

A lot of vegetables grow<br />

happily through the cold weather.<br />

Don’t forget, though, that winter<br />

is also a good time to leave<br />

some beds empty so that they<br />

have a rest. It’s also a good season<br />

to create some new vege beds.<br />

The easy way to do this is to<br />

HARDY: While<br />

spring is the<br />

traditional<br />

time to plant<br />

flowers and<br />

vegetables,<br />

trees and<br />

shrubs can be<br />

planted now.<br />

start by constructing an aboveground<br />

edging. Then fill the<br />

enclosed bed with manure,<br />

leaves, straw or grass clippings.<br />

Leave this alone for a couple of<br />

months and you’ll have the perfect<br />

base for your spring plantings.<br />

An additional sprinkling of<br />

lime encourages biological activity<br />

in the bed and will prove to be<br />

beneficial for most veges.<br />

Members of the cabbage family,<br />

for example, chinese cabbages,<br />

broccoli, cauliflowers and coldloving<br />

brussels sprouts are ideally<br />

suited to the winter garden.<br />

Broad beans and peas grow<br />

well in the winter months but<br />

won’t always set their pods until<br />

spring.<br />

GARDENING 25<br />

Try nemesia<br />

for colour<br />

IF YOU HAVE an area in your<br />

garden you’d like to blanket with<br />

colour, then nemesia is the plant<br />

for you.<br />

It is a lovely small bedding<br />

plant that can be used for edging,<br />

in borders and as a ground cover<br />

and, in the right conditions, will<br />

produce so many flowers it’s hard<br />

to see the greenery.<br />

Growing to a height of around<br />

20cm, it’s also lovely grown in<br />

pots, hanging planters or any<br />

other suitable growing container.<br />

Nemesia seedlings come in<br />

mixed colours. Bi-colour bundles<br />

contain seedlings that will<br />

produce flowers with more than<br />

one colour on each flower. Some<br />

are a mix of white and lavender,<br />

yellow or pink and others are<br />

just a mix of different colours.<br />

A mixed bundle will produce all<br />

sorts of different coloured flowers<br />

including orange, white, red and<br />

pink.<br />

Wherever you decide to plant<br />

your nemesia, try to ensure the<br />

soil is rich and moist and that<br />

the plants will be mostly in full<br />

sun to part shade. Then simply<br />

plant your seedlings around 15cm<br />

apart from each other.<br />

Depending on the weather,<br />

in just five to six weeks you<br />

can expect a beautiful array of<br />

different coloured flowers in your<br />

chosen garden bed or container.<br />

MY PRIDE AND JOY<br />

Mud, sweat and gears …<br />

and lots of dust!<br />

If the thought of noise, dust, and the<br />

adrenaline-packed action of custombuilt<br />

cars going head to head over dirt,<br />

mud or shingle on a course that offers<br />

jumps, tight corners, and long straights<br />

excites you, then the Canterbury Offroad<br />

Racing Club (CORC) is the place for you.<br />

CORC’s Amanda King thinks people are<br />

interested and says, “I think it’s the noise,<br />

the dirt and the passion of motorsport<br />

and getting out and doing it!”<br />

The home track is on Weedons Ross<br />

Road and is a purpose-built clay-based<br />

1.1km offroad track (short course). With<br />

a well-known tabletop jump at the start of<br />

the track, spectators can get great views of<br />

Advanced<br />

Advanced<br />

big air jumps. But of course, tight corners<br />

and long straights keep the racers’ minds<br />

on the job where they must react quickly.<br />

Anybody can be involved with the<br />

club with nine classes of vehicles; there is<br />

something for everyone. Entrants must<br />

follow rule book specifications, including<br />

the need for a roll cage, roof bracing,<br />

special seats, 5-point harness and neck<br />

braces. Safety is paramount.<br />

Whether it’s the basic entry challenger<br />

style, the Class 1 monsters with big<br />

engines and big bodies or the popular<br />

side-by-side like race model Can-Am<br />

or Yamaha with heavy-duty suspension,<br />

there’s fun and competition available.<br />

Vehicles can range from tens to hundreds<br />

of thousands of dollars in value. However,<br />

fun can be had at any level, and Amanda<br />

says that even at the entry level, people<br />

can have “just as much fun as the big<br />

boys in their hundred thousand dollar<br />

vehicle.” There’s even a junior class<br />

starting from five years of age! Currently,<br />

there are 39 members, the youngest being<br />

eight years old, while the oldest is in<br />

their 70s. However, racing can’t happen<br />

without the tireless and necessary work<br />

of the volunteers who help with flag<br />

marshalling, lap scoring, gear and safety<br />

checks and numerous activities. Amanda<br />

states, “We wouldn’t be able to race<br />

without those people.”<br />

The public is invited to the Saturday short<br />

course racing. Entry costs $15 at the<br />

gate, and under 15s are free. The track is<br />

specially set up for spectators, with many<br />

stands providing excellent views. Each<br />

class has four heats over the day, and then<br />

vehicles are classed by their fastest lap for<br />

racing that continues Sunday. This racing<br />

takes place in the adjoining forest behind<br />

the track, where the road and forest are<br />

closed, and competitors participate in a<br />

250km enduro race.<br />

Ten years on and<br />

still going strong<br />

Driving past Jones Road Auto on<br />

Iport Drive, you can see the business’s<br />

popularity with the considerable number<br />

of vehicles serviced daily. Jones Road<br />

Auto, owned by Nigel and Lisa Fleck, has<br />

been in operation for the past ten years<br />

and offers a full range of servicing and<br />

repairs on all vehicle makes and models.<br />

They also provide a booked WOF service<br />

and a WOF while-you-wait lane.<br />

There have been some significant<br />

highlights during the last ten years. Lisa<br />

and Nigel state, “One of our biggest<br />

highlights was in 2019 moving into our<br />

own purpose-built workshop, that we<br />

designed and built ourselves and is twice<br />

as big as the first shop, which has given<br />

us much more capacity to service our<br />

customers.” Other highlights include<br />

opening a second workshop branch in<br />

Springston seven years ago and winning<br />

several industry awards. The automotive<br />

industry has also benefited as they have<br />

served on three different industrywide<br />

boards while helping mentor and support<br />

other businesses.<br />

Helping others continues in the local<br />

community. They provide sponsorships<br />

as keen supporters of several local sports<br />

clubs and community organisations<br />

throughout the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District. Lisa says,<br />

“It’s really important to us to give back to<br />

our local community who support us so<br />

amazingly!<br />

Jones Road Auto considers the customer<br />

their number one priority, and with a staff<br />

numbering 19, they are committed to<br />

providing excellent customer service and<br />

top-quality work. Customers can enjoy<br />

a coffee and WiFi in the inviting waiting<br />

room, and free courtesy cars are also<br />

available.<br />

Car maintenance is becoming more<br />

important to ensure vehicles run as<br />

efficiently and economically as possible.<br />

Lisa states, “Kiwis are notorious for<br />

waiting until things break before sorting<br />

them, but there has definitely been a<br />

change in attitudes towards proactive<br />

maintenance – which is more cost efficient<br />

in the long run!” Also, with the rapidly<br />

evolving automotive industry and the<br />

large variety of vehicle models in New<br />

Zealand, there is always new technology<br />

to learn. Jones Road Auto techs are kept<br />

up to date and take advantage of regular<br />

industry training courses. Lisa confirms,<br />

“It’s a never-ending cycle!”<br />

Nigel and Lisa give a “huge thank you<br />

to our customers and community for<br />

supporting us for the last ten years; it’s<br />

been an amazing journey, and we look<br />

forward to being part of the community<br />

for the next ten years!”<br />

Sports sedan kind to environment<br />

ARE YOU considering buying<br />

another car, even a sports sedan?<br />

If the answer is yes but you<br />

know it’s time to look at a more<br />

environmentally-friendly option<br />

then the chances are you’ve<br />

considered a hybrid.<br />

That’s where Toyota’s Camry<br />

comes in. You can have a hybrid<br />

and a sports sedan all in one<br />

package. The latest Camry to<br />

come out of the Toyota factories<br />

incorporates an SX version,<br />

meaning simply it has fitment<br />

that gives it a type of sporty edge.<br />

The items I’m talking about are<br />

spring and damper rates firmed<br />

slightly over the standard model<br />

(and luxury ZR), while the SX<br />

has a discreet bootlid spoiler, side<br />

skirts, 19in wheels (up one inch)<br />

and black accents around a new<br />

grille and headlights. Inside, the<br />

sport-specification front seats<br />

have a buyer’s choice of red or<br />

black leather accents.<br />

The Camry is available here in<br />

three variants, regular readers<br />

will recall my range-topping ZR<br />

evaluation in April and will relate<br />

to my favourable comments. It is<br />

a discreet hybrid, other than the<br />

badges, and it is a car that never<br />

fails to impress.<br />

The ZR at $52,490 is very much<br />

a luxury vehicle, the SX sits below<br />

that at $48,490 and is certainly<br />

biased to lure the sporty buyer,<br />

the big wheels are black and with<br />

the body kit it looks like a low,<br />

sleek four-door coupe.<br />

For interest’s sake, the<br />

entry-level GX sits at $43,990,<br />

reiterating all Camry models<br />

are now hybrid, there’s no other<br />

option.<br />

The SX model landed in my<br />

driveway the week after the ZR,<br />

and if I did have one criticism<br />

it would be the SX lacks heated<br />

seats. Both the ZR and SX get full<br />

leather trim and the weather had<br />

turned cold in Canterbury, naked<br />

leather isn’t very inviting to climb<br />

into.<br />

Nevertheless, that was my only<br />

gripe, I’d happily save the $4k to<br />

have the sporty version, its more<br />

involving presence certainly hints<br />

at how I like a car to look and<br />

feel. It does get some up-market<br />

features elsewhere – satellite<br />

navigation, Apple CarPlay and<br />

Android Auto connectivity,<br />

paddle-shift gear selectors,<br />

adaptive cruise control and keyless<br />

entry and ignition are all fitted.<br />

Of course, the new Camry also<br />

gets a five-star Australasian New<br />

Car Assessment Program safety<br />

rating, the Toyota Safety Sense<br />

suite of kit is very proactive,<br />

aiding driving in normal day-today<br />

situations.<br />

The Camry also looks<br />

spectacular, it has edgy styling<br />

and looks which ooze character.<br />

That’s no surprise, if you take a<br />

look at any of the Toyota/Lexus<br />

designs these days you will find<br />

all vehicles have strong focal<br />

points.<br />

BOLD: The Camry SX sits on 19in black wheels.<br />

TOYOTA CAMRY SX: Hybrid driveline in a sporty body shell.<br />

It also handles as well as it<br />

looks, the sport-tuned suspension<br />

provides flat and balanced body<br />

control, there is a strong feel of<br />

grip through sport specification<br />

Dunlop tyres (235/40 x 19in),<br />

while accuracy and steering<br />

feedback are assured.<br />

The suspension is a fully<br />

independent front-strut/reardouble<br />

wishbone system, and if<br />

you combine all of these elements<br />

you have a supple chassis that is<br />

capable in all driving situations.<br />

Toyota’s well proven Hybrid<br />

Synergy Drive engine/motor<br />

system lurks under the bonnet.<br />

There are no surprises these<br />

days in terms of how it operates,<br />

hybrids have been with us for<br />

many years now and the way<br />

they work is so seamless that it<br />

feels just as if you are driving a<br />

car with an internal combustion<br />

engine only.<br />

However, the benefits of<br />

hybrid are many-fold. The two<br />

most important are those of its<br />

ability to minimise fuel use, and<br />

to provide the type of driving a<br />

buyer would expect from the size<br />

of engine he/she chooses.<br />

The Camry hybrid utilises a<br />

2.5-litre petrol engine, its job is<br />

not just to create propulsion, but<br />

it charges a battery bank that in<br />

turn provides drive to an electric<br />

motor. The transition can only be<br />

• Price – Toyota Camry SX<br />

hybrid, $48,490<br />

• Dimensions – Length,<br />

4905mm; width, 1840mm;<br />

height, 1445mm<br />

• Configuration – Fourcylinder,<br />

front-wheeldrive,<br />

2498cc, 160kW,<br />

213Nm, continuously<br />

variable automatic<br />

• Performance –<br />

0-100km/h, 8.1sec<br />

• Fuel usage – 4.7/100km<br />

picked up if your senses are astute<br />

or you are watching the internal<br />

display graphics, the process<br />

cycles constantly depending on<br />

throttle load, weight in the car,<br />

road undulations and windaffected<br />

drag.<br />

The end result is with 160kW<br />

on tap the engine feels very lively,<br />

and with a lot of low down torque<br />

that you get from a big fourcylinder<br />

engine, the Camry has<br />

all the power that you need. For<br />

the record, a standstill to 100km/h<br />

time of 8.1sec can be expected.<br />

If you are paying to fill up the<br />

tank you’ll be pleased to know<br />

it is also wonderfully thrifty.<br />

Toyota rates the Camry with a<br />

best possible usage of 4.7-litre<br />

per 100km on a combined cycle<br />

average. That correlates well with<br />

the 5.7l/100km figure constantly<br />

showing in the dash panel<br />

readouts.<br />

The SX hybrid provided me<br />

with one of the most enjoyable<br />

drives I’ve had for <strong>2022</strong>. I took the<br />

evaluation car on a long journey<br />

south to the Mackenzie Country,<br />

and on those long flowing roads<br />

it just felt so nice to be in, it is<br />

quiet, plush and lives up to its<br />

designation as a sporty model.<br />

That is the essence of the<br />

Camry hybrid. If Toyota had put<br />

a GT badge on it I wouldn’t have<br />

been disappointed. It’s a fabulous<br />

cruising car and one that does its<br />

best to make comfortable travel<br />

for its occupants.<br />

Sure, the suspension on the<br />

SX is gently firmer than that<br />

of the other variants, but that<br />

only serves to smooth cornering<br />

speed and takes away more of the<br />

body’s gravitational movement.<br />

Also, if you are thinking the low<br />

profile tyres would affect ride<br />

quality, that is certainly not the<br />

case because clever suspension<br />

disguises that.<br />

The Camry hybrid also<br />

qualifies for the Government’s<br />

low carbon emission clean car<br />

discount, buyers can expect<br />

temping rebates from $2490 to<br />

$3160, depending on the variant.<br />

Surely, now is a good time find a<br />

way into Toyota’s biggest sedan.<br />

Kia ora<br />

As the Mayor of <strong>Selwyn</strong> I have been<br />

privileged to support local initiatives and<br />

achievements across <strong>Selwyn</strong>. A recent<br />

example of this was when Plunket opened<br />

a new playground in Darfield. The project<br />

was conceived over two years ago and<br />

was driven by local volunteers who had<br />

sought funding from the Council and<br />

then used local contractors to deliver<br />

something exceptional. Now parents and<br />

caregivers have another safe place to<br />

bring their tamariki and enjoy support from<br />

each other.<br />

Mayor Sam<br />

Listening to our communities<br />

There’s a lot of change in the provision of water at the moment and I talk more about Three Waters inside<br />

this newsletter. The Government has also introduced a tougher new law about drinking water which means<br />

all councils across New Zealand must chlorinate all drinking water supplies by 15 November <strong>2022</strong> – unless<br />

the supply receives an exemption. We are applying for exemptions for supplies that we believe are safe to<br />

remain chlorine free. This is in line with the strong feedback we have received from our communities, telling<br />

us that you want to keep chlorine out of our drinking water. The final decision isn’t ours, but I wanted to give<br />

you a heads up about this important matter on the horizon. For more information on what this means for<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> see our Council website at selwyn.govt.nz/water-chlorination.<br />

Awesome<br />

projects<br />

Last month I was delighted to see the completion<br />

of two more major projects. The first was the<br />

opening of the Toka Hapāi <strong>Selwyn</strong> Health Hub,<br />

which brings an improved birthing unit and<br />

specialist radiology services into the heart of<br />

our district. The second was the opening of the<br />

hockey and football artificial turfs in Foster Park<br />

next to the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Sports Centre. These represent<br />

the latest in a significant range of major initiatives<br />

completed in the last three years designed to<br />

improve the wellbeing of <strong>Selwyn</strong> Waikirikiri. Te<br />

Ara Ātea is the awesome new cultural space,<br />

cafe and library which sits at the centre of the<br />

developing Rolleston Town Centre. The eightcourt<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> Sports Centre is already packed<br />

with people of all ages enjoying sport and keeping<br />

active. Our <strong>Selwyn</strong> Aquatic Centre’s extension<br />

has enabled many more people to enjoy the water<br />

and increased our capacity to provide swimming<br />

lessons for young and old. It’s good to look back<br />

and celebrate where we have come from as we<br />

make the most of these new facilities. I am also<br />

focused on continuing to look towards the future<br />

and plan well, with our population quickly heading<br />

towards 100,000.<br />

Building<br />

communities<br />

In the last residents survey 92% said that “<strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

is a great place to live”. That is the key reason why<br />

so many whānau and businesses are choosing<br />

to relocate to <strong>Selwyn</strong>. I’m keen to develop<br />

opportunities for our communities that support<br />

business growth, develop cultural understanding<br />

and help get people of all ages into education,<br />

training or employment. This month we ran an<br />

event to help young women explore employment<br />

opportunities in the construction industry. We<br />

also saw the graduation of a group of amazing<br />

entrepreneurs hoping to bring their business ideas<br />

to life. The twelve budding business owners were<br />

on a Council course to learn the skills they need to<br />

kick start their dreams into reality. Their businesses<br />

ranged from a decluttering consultancy, a Mexican<br />

restaurant and a turf management company. As<br />

our district grows, it’s important that we invest<br />

in our people as well as our infrastructure. The<br />

Council runs a range of courses helping give<br />

people a leg up. If you want to do more or have<br />

an idea you want to get off the ground jump on<br />

our website at selwyn.govt.nz and search for<br />

‘Community Capacity Building’.<br />

Three Waters – not right for <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

There has been a lot of misinformation about what<br />

our Council thinks about Three Waters and I think<br />

it is important to clear that up. I do not believe that<br />

the Government’s current reform package is right<br />

for our <strong>Selwyn</strong> communities.<br />

Change for water infrastructure across<br />

New Zealand is required and has been planned<br />

for over 20 years. Here in <strong>Selwyn</strong> we already<br />

meter our supplies, charge by volume, take a<br />

multi-barrier approach to drinking water safety.<br />

All our wastewater services are fully consented<br />

and discharge to land rather than into rivers or the<br />

ocean. We have some of the newest and best<br />

water infrastructure in New Zealand as well as<br />

the cheapest drinking water. The picture across<br />

New Zealand however is very different. So much<br />

of the work of the Three Waters plan will be to<br />

bring other places up to the standards we already<br />

meet. Some places have not had wastewater<br />

treatment consents for over a decade and some<br />

councils can’t borrow any more money to fix their<br />

problems. For them this change is necessary.<br />

I also acknowledge that we are not perfect, we<br />

have too many boil water notices and we are<br />

working hard to address that.<br />

Our Council will formally submit these points to the<br />

Government’s select committee in the process to<br />

improve their proposals and I encourage you to do<br />

the same, whether for or against the changes. I will<br />

be highlighting the loss of local voice, protection<br />

for consumers, the speed of change and the<br />

fairness of the lack of reward to councils who are<br />

performing well, amongst other points.<br />

News in Brief<br />

Changes at Kirwee Reserve<br />

A new playground, cricket nets and other upgrades are being<br />

installed at the Kirwee Reserve as the next stage in the reserve<br />

upgrade, which started last year. Construction of the replacement<br />

playground has also begun.<br />

YOU COULD be<br />

on council<br />

From mid-September until noon 8 October<br />

you will have the chance to vote for the new<br />

Council you want to represent you for the<br />

next three years. I will be standing and I’d<br />

like to encourage you to think about putting<br />

your name forward to join the Council. As a<br />

Councillor you will be at the heart of deciding<br />

which projects we should take forward, how<br />

they should be funded and how we cooperate<br />

with neighbouring councils. You don’t need<br />

to have any special training, experience or<br />

qualifications just a love for <strong>Selwyn</strong> and the<br />

ability to make informed decisions. Anyone<br />

over the age of 18 can stand for election as<br />

long as they are a New Zealand citizen and<br />

enrolled on the <strong>Selwyn</strong> electoral roll.<br />

It’s important that our Council reflects our<br />

population. I’m currently the youngest person<br />

on the Council aged 40 while half of <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s<br />

population is under 35. Our Council is made<br />

up of great people who instead of sitting on<br />

the sidelines have stepped up to contribute<br />

to the often challenging yet very rewarding<br />

leadership role. Why not have a look at our<br />

website at selwyn.govt.nz/elections which<br />

Issue 7 - winter <strong>2022</strong><br />

Kia ora<br />

As the Mayor of <strong>Selwyn</strong> I have been<br />

privileged to support local initiatives and<br />

achievements across <strong>Selwyn</strong>. A recent<br />

example of this was when Plunket opened<br />

a new playground in Darfield. The project<br />

was conceived over two years ago and<br />

was driven by local volunteers who had<br />

sought funding from the Council and<br />

then used local contractors to deliver<br />

something exceptional. Now parents and<br />

caregivers have another safe place to<br />

bring their tamariki and enjoy support from<br />

each other.<br />

Mayor Sam<br />

Listening to our communities<br />

There’s a lot of change in the provision of water at the moment and I talk more about Three Waters inside<br />

this newsletter. The Government has also introduced a tougher new law about drinking water which means<br />

all councils across New Zealand must chlorinate all drinking water supplies by 15 November <strong>2022</strong> – unless<br />

the supply receives an exemption. We are applying for exemptions for supplies that we believe are safe to<br />

remain chlorine free. This is in line with the strong feedback we have received from our communities, telling<br />

us that you want to keep chlorine out of our drinking water. The final decision isn’t ours, but I wanted to give<br />

you a heads up about this important matter on the horizon. For more information on what this means for<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> see our Council website at selwyn.govt.nz/water-chlorination.<br />

Awesome<br />

projects<br />

Last month I was delighted to see the completion<br />

of two more major projects. The first was the<br />

opening of the Toka Hapāi <strong>Selwyn</strong> Health Hub,<br />

which brings an improved birthing unit and<br />

specialist radiology services into the heart of<br />

our district. The second was the opening of the<br />

hockey and football artificial turfs in Foster Park<br />

next to the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Sports Centre. These represent<br />

the latest in a significant range of major initiatives<br />

completed in the last three years designed to<br />

improve the wellbeing of <strong>Selwyn</strong> Waikirikiri. Te<br />

Ara Ātea is the awesome new cultural space,<br />

cafe and library which sits at the centre of the<br />

developing Rolleston Town Centre. The eightcourt<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> Sports Centre is already packed<br />

with people of all ages enjoying sport and keeping<br />

active. Our <strong>Selwyn</strong> Aquatic Centre’s extension<br />

has enabled many more people to enjoy the water<br />

and increased our capacity to provide swimming<br />

lessons for young and old. It’s good to look back<br />

and celebrate where we have come from as we<br />

make the most of these new facilities. I am also<br />

focused on continuing to look towards the future<br />

and plan well, with our population quickly heading<br />

towards 100,000.<br />

Building<br />

communities<br />

In the last residents survey 92% said that “<strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

is a great place to live”. That is the key reason why<br />

so many whānau and businesses are choosing<br />

to relocate to <strong>Selwyn</strong>. I’m keen to develop<br />

opportunities for our communities that support<br />

business growth, develop cultural understanding<br />

and help get people of all ages into education,<br />

training or employment. This month we ran an<br />

event to help young women explore employment<br />

opportunities in the construction industry. We<br />

also saw the graduation of a group of amazing<br />

entrepreneurs hoping to bring their business ideas<br />

to life. The twelve budding business owners were<br />

on a Council course to learn the skills they need to<br />

kick start their dreams into reality. Their businesses<br />

ranged from a decluttering consultancy, a Mexican<br />

restaurant and a turf management company. As<br />

our district grows, it’s important that we invest<br />

in our people as well as our infrastructure. The<br />

Council runs a range of courses helping give<br />

people a leg up. If you want to do more or have<br />

an idea you want to get off the ground jump on<br />

Three Waters – not right for <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

There has been a lot of misinformation about what<br />

our Council thinks about Three Waters and I think<br />

it is important to clear that up. I do not believe that<br />

the Government’s current reform package is right<br />

for our <strong>Selwyn</strong> communities.<br />

Change for water infrastructure across<br />

New Zealand is required and has been planned<br />

for over 20 years. Here in <strong>Selwyn</strong> we already<br />

meter our supplies, charge by volume, take a<br />

multi-barrier approach to drinking water safety.<br />

All our wastewater services are fully consented<br />

and discharge to land rather than into rivers or the<br />

ocean. We have some of the newest and best<br />

water infrastructure in New Zealand as well as<br />

the cheapest drinking water. The picture across<br />

New Zealand however is very different. So much<br />

of the work of the Three Waters plan will be to<br />

bring other places up to the standards we already<br />

meet. Some places have not had wastewater<br />

treatment consents for over a decade and some<br />

councils can’t borrow any more money to fix their<br />

problems. For them this change is necessary.<br />

I also acknowledge that we are not perfect, we<br />

have too many boil water notices and we are<br />

working hard to address that.<br />

Our Council will formally submit these points to the<br />

Government’s select committee in the process to<br />

improve their proposals and I encourage you to do<br />

the same, whether for or against the changes. I will<br />

be highlighting the loss of local voice, protection<br />

for consumers, the speed of change and the<br />

fairness of the lack of reward to councils who are<br />

performing well, amongst other points.<br />

News in Brief<br />

Changes at Kirwee Reserve<br />

A new playground, cricket nets and other upgrades are being<br />

installed at the Kirwee Reserve as the next stage in the reserve<br />

upgrade, which started last year. Construction of the replacement<br />

playground has also begun.<br />

YOU COULD be<br />

on council<br />

From mid-September until noon 8 October<br />

you will have the chance to vote for the new<br />

Council you want to represent you for the<br />

next three years. I will be standing and I’d<br />

like to encourage you to think about putting<br />

your name forward to join the Council. As a<br />

Councillor you will be at the heart of deciding<br />

which projects we should take forward, how<br />

they should be funded and how we cooperate<br />

with neighbouring councils. You don’t need<br />

to have any special training, experience or<br />

qualifications just a love for <strong>Selwyn</strong> and the<br />

ability to make informed decisions. Anyone<br />

over the age of 18 can stand for election as<br />

long as they are a New Zealand citizen and<br />

enrolled on the <strong>Selwyn</strong> electoral roll.<br />

It’s important that our Council reflects our<br />

population. I’m currently the youngest person<br />

on the Council aged 40 while half of <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s<br />

population is under 35. Our Council is made<br />

up of great people who instead of sitting on<br />

the sidelines have stepped up to contribute<br />

to the often challenging yet very rewarding<br />

leadership role. Why not have a look at our<br />

Marketing your property –<br />

what does it mean?<br />

Marketing a property is more than presentation and advertising.<br />

Conceptually, marketing is identifying<br />

what prospective buyers are looking for<br />

then providing this. For example, larger<br />

homes and sections may appeal more<br />

to families. Young couples starting out,<br />

generally have tight budgets leading<br />

them to smaller properties, while older<br />

people may be looking to downsize.<br />

Brand new has a particular appeal<br />

however there will always be a market for<br />

established homes. Having a picture in<br />

your mind of the type of buyer will help<br />

in determining the features to emphasise.<br />

If repairs and maintenance need to be<br />

carried out before putting the property<br />

on the market, seek the advice of a real<br />

estate agent. They can advise on what<br />

tasks are worth completing and what<br />

might be unnecessary expense.<br />

Installing a new kitchen or changing<br />

the carpet may lift the house but will<br />

the expense be recouped in the sale<br />

price? On the other hand, modernising<br />

an outdated kitchen or bathroom could<br />

make a huge difference to the look of<br />

the place. Avoid going overboard unless<br />

the capital value of properties in the area<br />

justifies this.<br />

Real estate agents are in contact with<br />

prospective buyers so aware of what they<br />

are looking for. Draw on their expertise<br />

and advice to help make the most of the<br />

selling opportunity.<br />

Establishing a relevant and fair price<br />

for a property is important. Most<br />

agents calculate this based on the price<br />

properties in the area have sold for, and<br />

what a particular property has to offer.<br />

A unique or exceptional property may<br />

justify a higher price, though run-down<br />

properties can gain more than they<br />

appear to merit. This might be due to the<br />

area or other factors that suggest a good<br />

investment.<br />

When promoting a property, mix it up<br />

and be creative so your property stands<br />

out from the rest. TradeMe is a must;<br />

checked by most people looking to buy.<br />

Present the features the property offers as<br />

benefits to potential buyers.<br />

Erect a sign outside the property.<br />

People stop and look at photographs and<br />

this might spark sufficient interest for<br />

them to visit an open home. Spending<br />

a fortune on massive advertising<br />

campaigns in every media might seem a<br />

way to attract potential buyers but may<br />

be an unnecessary expense without the<br />

return. A better philosophy could be a<br />

little often. This will depend on the value<br />

of the property, your budget and how<br />

best to reach target buyers.<br />

Buyer perception is also significant.<br />

For example, properties that sit for a<br />

while can become stale. Resting the<br />

property by taking it off the market for<br />

a short time, then relisting perhaps in<br />

spring or when sales in the area appear<br />

to lift a little, can make a difference.<br />

However, if a property does not sell<br />

immediately there is no need for panic or<br />

dropping the price. It may simply be that<br />

the right buyer has not yet come along. If<br />

the mix is right your property will sell.<br />

For great results<br />

and a “hassle-free<br />

experience”<br />

Snuggle down<br />

When it comes to home heating, ‘bang<br />

for your buck’ is essential and part of<br />

this is ensuring your home is adequately<br />

insulated. Did you know that a 2% gap<br />

in insulation can result in a 20% heat<br />

loss? This can make a huge difference to<br />

the comfort of your home.<br />

Insulation works by slowing heat<br />

loss from your home, enclosing it in a<br />

thermal envelope. This is why around<br />

40% of heat is lost through the ceiling in<br />

the average uninsulated home.<br />

In addition to insulation, simple<br />

measures, such as using thermal<br />

curtains and sealing gaps and cracks,<br />

will eliminate draughts and prevent<br />

warm air escaping where it shouldn’t.<br />

It also pays to remember that heating<br />

a room to a moderate constant<br />

temperature is much more efficient than<br />

a fluctuating heat.<br />

Designed to not only be practical and<br />

functional but to enhance the décor<br />

of your home, there is a home-heating<br />

option for every home, and everyone.<br />

GAS FIRES<br />

Providing fast, convenient and<br />

easily regulated heat, gas can bring<br />

a moderate-size room to a warm,<br />

comfortable temperature in about 10-15<br />

minutes. Glass-fronted gas fireplaces<br />

are significantly more efficient than<br />

open-fronted ones, and as gas fires<br />

are cleaner than wood-burning fires<br />

they are favoured in clean-air areas,<br />

making this a popular heating option in<br />

Christchurch.<br />

Like other heating options, most<br />

modern gas fires have a timer facility.<br />

HEAT PUMPS<br />

Heat pumps come in a variety of<br />

options: high-wall, floor consoles,<br />

slimline, quiet ... the list goes on,<br />

ensuring there is a design, size and<br />

placement to suit your needs.<br />

Be smart about your energy use and<br />

ensure you have the right size heat pump<br />

for your space. If you pick one that is<br />

too small, it will have to work hard all<br />

the time, and will use more power than<br />

necessary. A unit that is the right size<br />

should heat your space in 5-15 minutes.<br />

DUCTED AIR CONDITIONING<br />

Ducted air conditioning systems work<br />

exactly the same way as a high-wall heat<br />

pump, in that there is an indoor unit<br />

and an outdoor unit, and by passing a<br />

refrigerant between them they transfer<br />

heat (or cooling) into a room.<br />

Unlike the high-wall system, where<br />

the indoor unit is visible, the ducted<br />

indoor unit is hidden away in the ceiling<br />

space and uses flexible ducts to pass the<br />

heat from room to room through vents<br />

in the ceiling, wall or floor.<br />

CENTRAL HEATING<br />

Growing in popularity in New Zealand,<br />

warm-water central heating is the<br />

even distribution of heat throughout<br />

the home from a central point or heat<br />

source. Warm water is distributed via a<br />

network of pipes connected to radiators<br />

in each room, or looped under the floor<br />

for underfloor heating. Releasing a gentle<br />

heat, no water is actually consumed,<br />

ensuring this is the ultimate in efficiency.<br />

HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEM<br />

Home heating isn’t just about keeping<br />

the house warm; it’s also about<br />

maintaining a healthy home. In the<br />

summer months we are able to throw<br />

open the windows to air the house, an<br />

option not available in cooler weather,<br />

meaning condensation is often an<br />

unhealthy side effect of winter. The<br />

installation of an effective heat-recovery<br />

or ventilation system can help solve<br />

this problem, thereby working towards<br />

creating a warmer, drier and, above all,<br />

healthier living environment.<br />

WOOD BURNERS<br />

When used properly, wood burners<br />

are a great and economical option,<br />

especially if you have access to free or<br />

cheap firewood. You do, however, need<br />

to ensure your fire is clean-air approved,<br />

especially in Canterbury. When buying<br />

a wood fire, consider efficiency rating,<br />

clean burn, emission levels and size.<br />

PELLET BURNERS<br />

Pellet fires have come a long way in<br />

recent years and most are now available<br />

as free-standing or inbuilt, offering a<br />

wider variety when it comes to selecting<br />

the right look for your space.<br />

There are many benefits to a pellet<br />

burner as they offer all the warmth and<br />

luxury of a flame without the hassle of<br />

cutting, carrying and storing firewood.<br />

Made from sawmill waste, the pellets are<br />

carbon-neutral and burn cleanly.<br />

One of the biggest limitations is the<br />

initial cost, with the price of buying and<br />

installing a pellet burner greater than<br />

that of a conventional wood burner. The<br />

burner also relies on electricity so won’t<br />

work during a power cut.<br />

Your guide to all things Real Estate<br />

in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District<br />

Create a ‘thermal envelope’ in your<br />

home – check out your options<br />

Everybody loves a cosy warm home<br />

in winter, so if you’re wrapped up in<br />

layers, you may realise your home could<br />

be warmer. Using effective insulation<br />

in your house is like using a blanket or<br />

putting on your coat, beanie, gloves and<br />

socks!<br />

Windows, ceiling, floor and walls all<br />

form a ‘thermal envelope’, the barrier<br />

between the heat and the outside climate.<br />

Better thermal resistance is achieved with<br />

effective insulation with a high R-value.<br />

Your home can be insulated using glass<br />

fibre, wool, mineral wool, polyester,<br />

polystyrene, paper-based insulation or<br />

foam spray. Usually, installation occurs<br />

during the construction of a new home;<br />

however, retrofitting insulation may be<br />

done on existing homes.<br />

Glass fibre, one of New Zealand’s<br />

most well-known insulation materials,<br />

is made from recycled glass and comes<br />

in a roll to cover the ceiling joists or<br />

cut into segments to fit between timber<br />

framing in your wall or ceiling. With a<br />

long-life span, it is resistant to pests and<br />

non-combustible. Installing glass fibre<br />

can be a DIY project, using adequate<br />

safety precautions, if you can handle<br />

the itch! Some downlights are suitable<br />

for covering, but others require a gap to<br />

prevent a fire.<br />

Wool is loose insulation mostly<br />

made from recycled waste wool. This<br />

sustainable, eco-friendly, cost-effective<br />

product decomposes naturally over time.<br />

However, it is combustible in a fire and<br />

does not dry as effectively as fibre.<br />

Mineral wool insulation is similar<br />

to glass fibre but made from natural<br />

materials instead of glass. It also doesn’t<br />

absorb water, is fire resistant, denser and<br />

heavier than fibreglass, and will settle<br />

over time.<br />

Polyester or blends with wool are<br />

non-itchy and come in rolls or segments<br />

to fit between framing timbers. Polyester<br />

insulation (without wool) is made from<br />

45 per cent recycled plastic and is strong<br />

and long-lasting. It is non-flammable and<br />

non-dusty but more expensive than glass<br />

wool.<br />

Polystyrene can be manufactured<br />

in rigid foam sheets of expanded<br />

polystyrene to insulate floors, walls<br />

and ceilings. The sheets need to fit<br />

tight against joists to ensure maximum<br />

insulation. Polystyrene doesn’t rot,<br />

and disposal can be an issue; it is also<br />

flammable.<br />

Paper-based insulation is the cheapest<br />

product made from macerated paper<br />

(recycled newsprint) with a fire retardant<br />

added. Blown into ceilings, it may blow<br />

around or settle over time and get dusty.<br />

It will rot if it gets wet, and rats and other<br />

nest-builders will love this to insulate<br />

their homes in your ceiling!<br />

Spray foam insulation is polyurethane<br />

foam invented by NASA. Specialists<br />

apply the foam to surfaces with a spray<br />

gun creating an air and moisture barrier<br />

when it expands and hardens. It also<br />

won’t sag or settle over time and can be<br />

retrofitted in existing homes.<br />

With the range of insulation materials<br />

available, keeping your home warm and<br />

dry can be easily achieved.<br />
