KUNEKUNE LEFT TO DIE
• By Susan Sandys
A DISABLED pet kunekune
with a gentle nature was left to
die on the side of the road.
West Melton runner Kathryn
Meyers came across the pig at
11.30am on June 17, sparking
a two-and-a half-hour rescue
operation involving about eight
people.
“I couldn’t
bear to not
see it through
and see
her taken
into a nicer
environment,
because I felt
Kathryn
Meyers
humans had
failed her by
leaving her
there,” Meyers said.
The group was able to get
the kunekune standing and
transport it to the Christchurch
SPCA about 2pm, where it is
understood it was euthanised
the following day due to severe
arthritis.
Whoever dumped the pig left
sawdust and hay bedding, as
well as pig nuts, kiwifruit and
leeks. However, the food was out
of reach.
Meyers said the pig seemed
hungry and eagerly ate from her
hands.
“She was very gentle and
friendly. I was patting her a lot,”
Meyers said.

Chlorination
of district’s
water on
the horizon
• By Susan Sandys
BLANKET chlorination of the
district’s water supplies is on
the horizon as new nationwide
legislation comes into force.
The district council is undertaking
a $2 million upgrade of supplies
with chlorination equipment, as it
strives to meet the requirements of
the Water Services Act 2021.
The Act requires all councils to be
able to chlorinate public drinking
water supplies and begin chlorination
by November 15, unless
they have an exemption from the
Government’s new drinking water
regulator Taumata Arowai.
However, meeting the criteria for
exemptions could cost ratepayers
tens of millions of dollars.
Currently, only nine of the district’s
27 drinking water supplies are permanently
chlorinated – Upper Selwyn
Huts, Dalethorpe, Hororata-Acheron
(Hororata), Hororata-Acheron
(Acheron), Sheffield/Waddington,
Springfield, Castle Hill, Hartleys Rd
(Malvern Hills) and Arthur’s Pass.
Group manager infrastructure
Murray Washington said the
district council is ensuring all
remaining supplies have the
infrastructure in place, completing
the installation of chlorination units
in the coming months.

Flyover: Business may have to move
A BUSINESS with purposebuilt
headquarters at Rolleston
is faced with having to move if
the Rolleston flyover goes ahead
as planned.
Christchurch RV Centre
office manager Allicia Beirne
said the new NZ Transport
Agency Waka Kotahi concept
plan released last week revealed
motorists towing caravans coming
off the flyover could find
the turn into the caravan and
motorhome business’ entrance
too tight.
“We are not happy about it, we
don’t want to move, we haven’t
even been here 12 months,”
Beirne said.
A Waka Kotahi spokesperson
said the roading authority was
in discussion with Christchurch
RV Centre for alternative access
options.
“One of the options being
weighed up at the moment is
relocating their business to
another site,” the spokesperson
confirmed.
The roading authority was
actively engaging with directly
affected parties to mitigate their
concerns around access to their
sites.
Drummond and Etheridge
Rolleston, next door to
Christchurch RV Centre, is
among those that also have
concerns.
FLYOVER: An artist’s impression of the planned Rolleston overbridge.
Branch manager Murray
Chesterman said he was awaiting
more detail before making
further comment.
Some Jones Rd businesses
support the new plan.
MTF Finance franchise owner
Dan Groundwater said it would
allow traffic to continue onto
Jones Rd, while the original flyover
plan released last year had
proposed to take traffic away
from it.
U-Tow New Zealand spokesperson
Tony Walker said the
new flyover would potentially
give more exposure to his business
as it exited nearby.
Waka Kotahi director of
regional relationships James
Caygill said the roading authority
was seeking feedback to July
22.
The $125 million project aims
to improve connections across
the highway between Rolleston’s
residential side and industrial
and business hubs and railway
inland port zone.
“Since public consultation last
year, the team has taken another
look at ways the residential and
industrial sides of Rolleston can
be better connected,” Caygill
said.
Mayor Sam Broughton welcomed
the changes.
He said as well as safer ways
to cross and connect Rolleston,
the plan offered people more
travel choice.
“This project will provide
better travel options, keep
our people safe and help our
district’s economy grow,”
Broughton said.

Exemption from water chlorination costly
• From page 1
The district council would
then begin chlorination on a
scheme-by-scheme basis.
“Residents on each supply will
be contacted directly before the
chlorine is turned on for their
supply,” Washington said.
The district council planned
to work with each community
on costs and rating options for
upgrades needed to gain exemptions.
He said the district council
had already begun the process of
applying for exemptions.
“As far as we know, Selwyn
was the first council in the country
to file an application for an
exemption from chlorination,”
Washington said.
This was in
keeping with
the district
council’s commitment
in its
Long-Term Plan
2021-2031, that

it would work
with Taumata
Arowai to clarify
exemption
requirements, alongside working
with the community.
“As this process continues
we will keep working with our
community, while ensuring we
comply with the law to keep our
drinking water safe,” Washington
said.
“Where a scheme does not
have an exemption on November
15, 2022, temporary chlorination
will continue as required by law.”
Figures in the long-term plan
released last year show ratepayers
may have to consider high
costs if they are wanting to avoid
chlorination.
The district council said it
would cost $30 million upwards
she wrote. Meyers believed it had
been left there, off to the side of
Weedons Ross Rd near West Melton
Forest, within the last hour as
she noticed it when she ran past
an hour earlier.
Megan Strydon and her friend
Steph Milne came across the
small group that had gathered as
they were riding their horses in
the area.
Strydon is co-manager of Arion
Farm Education Park at McLeans
Island, and called on her experience
with kunekune pigs. She
was able to get it standing, but
found due to its suspected arthritis
the pig could only walk on its
knees.
The vet administered pain
relief and Strydon and Milne
for infrastructure across the
district, such as inline ultraviolet
treatment, new secure groundwater
sources, leakage reduction
in the reticulation network and
upgrades of reservoirs.
More than half of long-term
plan submitters who listed a
preference on drinking water
safety wanted the district council
to upgrade some supplies so they
could avoid chlorination.
A Taumata Arowai media
spokeswoman referred the
Selwyn Times to its website for
the criteria required to obtain
an exemption.
used their horse float to transport
it to the SPCA, which agreed to
take it in.
Strydon said the pig had
obviously been a pet. It was a
fully grown adult female, but not
elderly. It had been well looked
after, with a “beautiful coat” and
trimmed hooves.
She condemned the actions
of the person or people who
dumped it. She urged anyone
considering dumping animals to
think about the distress it caused
them. Pigs in particular are
sociable and intelligent creatures,
like dogs.

The website said district councils
must provide documents on
how they intend to operate the

assist Taumata Arowai with
the technical aspects of each
application.
Abandonment condemned by rescuers
“If I put it politely, I think it’s
disgusting. There’s always a better
way, even if they got a farmer to
come and shoot her, that would
have been better than starving and
freezing to death on the side of the
road,” Strydon said.
She went back to the SPCA the
following day, learning later that
day it had been put to sleep following
an examination by a pig
specialist.
“They did try,” Strydon said.

Hospital may become health facility
• By Susan Sandys
THE FORMER Lincoln
Maternity Hospital building
may in future become a health
facility.
Lincoln residents have had
their wish realised, of retaining
the building in the community –
for now.
At the last meeting of the Canterbury
District Health Board,
board members decided not to
proceed with selling the hospital
building and its land at this time.
The hospital closed May 31, as
its services were located to the
new Oromairaki birthing unit at
Rolleston.
Executive director planning,
funding and decision support,
Tracey Maisey, said the future of
the building was considered at
the final meeting of the health
board recently, prior to the transition
to Health New Zealand
this Friday.
“The board resolved not to
proceed with disposal at this
time,” Maisey said.
“The decision was made to
wait until Health New Zealand
had an opportunity to undertake
a wider review of property
required to meet long term demand
or health planning needs
of the region,” Maisey said.
Long-time Lincoln area
resident Sue Jarvis welcomed the
decision, as it would allow more
time for the community’s needs
to be taken into account.
The building was a
“lovely” and “homely”
large villa, with plenty of
rooms. It would make a
good medical centre or
other health facility, or a
community facility such
an arts centre.
Jarvis is also a cofounder
of the Lincoln
Community Garden at the site,
and among residents who want
the garden to be able to remain
there.
Sue Jarvis
The CDHB allowed Lincoln
Envirotown to establish the community
garden at the site
in 2008, and it has operated
there ever since.
The 5401 m2 property
contains the garden,
alongside the original
1926 maternity building,
and a 2011 dental building.
“The Lincoln Community
Garden continues to
be welcome to use the site in the
meantime,” Maisey said.
However, Lincoln Envirotown
Trust project manager Dave
REPRIEVE:
Canterbury
District Health
Board has
decided not to
proceed with
selling the
former Lincoln
Maternity
Hospital at this
time.
Fitzjohn said he expected the
garden would ultimately need
to relocate, as there was no
long-term guarantee that Health
New Zealand would not sell
the site. The trust operates the
garden.
“Even in the short term there
is no guarantee that services
such as water to the site will
continue,” Fitzjohn said.
However, relocating the garden
in itself could be seen as an
exciting new project, in which
Lincoln Envirotown would
involve the whole community,
he said.
The Canterbury District
Health Board has now
released a summary
of submissions from a
consultation phase on its
proposal to sell the Lincoln
Maternity Hospital and land
last year.
Twenty-one of 28 submitters
did not support disposal,
preferring to see the property
retained by the health board.
Residents had noted the
growth of Lincoln township
in their comments, some
referring to the future need
for a medical facility.
Others wanted to see the
property retained for older
persons health care, aged residential
and respite care, or
support and accommodation
for people with disabilities.
Many wanted to see the property
used for the benefit of the
community, perhaps through
the district council or another
organisation.
Some submissions noted
the community gardens
located on the rear of the
property.
Of the seven submitters
who favoured disposal, three
stated that they were in favour
of disposal but wanted to see
the land retained for health
or community purposes.

Selwyn Waihora Water Zone Committee
Supporting the restoration of Boat Creek Reserve
The Selwyn Waihora Water Zone Committee is supporting a project to
restore and enhance Boat Creek and its reserve, located adjacent to
the Rakaia Huts village.
The Rakaia Huts community group, in partnership with Water and
Wildlife Habitat Trust, is leading the restoration project, which seeks to
enhance the reserve as a freshwater and native bush habitat hub that
sustains fish and bird life. The project also aims to improve water quality
in the lagoon and river catchment, acknowledge the cultural significance
of the area, and provide recreational access for everyone to enjoy.
With over 50 people volunteering about 1,800 hours of
labour, their most recent achievements include predator
control and planting 6,000 native seedlings in the reserve,
with more to come.
The Water Zone Committee is supporting the project with
$15,000 for weed control and planting, through its recently
introduced Canterbury Water Management Strategy Action
Plan Budget.
The Selwyn Waihora Water Zone Committee is a joint committee
made up of community members, rūnanga and local councils.

SELWYN SKI areas are revelling
in plenty of snow as they gear up
for opening.
Craigieburn Valley Ski Area
president Sander Kriek said a
mid-June storm had favoured
the district’s six skifields as it had
come in from the west.
For Craigieburn, the snowfall
and wind-carried snow had
resulted in “phenomenal” levels
of three-to-four metres. It
had been the biggest snowfall
since 2011.
“When we get open, it will be
the best base we have had in over
10 years,” Kriek said.
The weekend had been spent
digging out lifts, as members
prepared for opening on
July 16.
Mt Cheeseman Ski Area
mountain manager Cam Lill said
up to 1.5m of snow had fallen,
making for an “epic battle”
through downed beech trees and
snow drifts to get up the access
road.
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
EARLY OPENING: Mt Cheeseman ski patrollers Scott Earnshaw, Carter Spencer and Ben De-Jong out monitoring the
snow pack, while Craigieburn Valley Ski Area president Sander Kriek (above right) and fellow volunteers dig out a rope
tow.
Skifields set to open with best
snow levels in a decade
At the weekend volunteers got
digging, finding the deck and
pathways for the skifield main
building.
“It’s certainly looking fantastic
and gives us great confidence
to open on time for the school
holidays,” Lill said.
The ski area was aiming to
open July 9. It would be the first
time in four years it had been
able to open in time for the start
of the July school holidays.
The big snowfall motivated
Broken River members to push
for opening last Sunday, but
they reported on their Facebook
page it had now been put back to
this coming weekend after some
unexpected backward steps.
Porters Alpine Resort is
planning to open this Friday,
after launching a new snowplay
and toboggan zone earlier this
month, which has been accessed
by hundreds of people each
weekend.
Mt Olympus and Temple Basin
have also reported high snow
levels from the storm.

In Brief
ANNUAL RATE INCREASE
CONFIRMED
A six per cent average rate
increase has been confirmed,
alongside a $20 ecological
enhancement targeted rate, as
the district council approves
its Annual Plan. The plan was
approved by councillors at their
meeting last week, following
consultation and public hearings.
A total of 140 submissions were
received, with 28 submitters
heard in public hearings.
LINCOLN SOUTH APPEALS
CLOSE IN AUGUST
Appeals for the controversial
1710-home Lincoln South
decision close on August 4. The
appeals process is the next stage
in the Plan Change 69 application
process, following a majority
of district councillors deciding
to accept a commissioner’s
recommendation to approve it.
A lobby group that has since
formed to fight the decision,
Lincoln Voice, has not yet
decided whether it will lodge an
appeal.
FIRE MAY HAVE BEEN
DELIBERATELY LIT
Rolleston Volunteer Fire Brigade
members extinguished a small
fire in a tree at Tennyson St
reserve, about 2.40pm on Friday.
Chief Cam Kenyon said the

Lincoln South decision Big plans for solar farms
• By Jonathan Leask
THE COMPANY behind a largescale
solar farm planned for Mid-
Canterbury also has a consent
application being processed by
the district council.
HES Aotearoa has been
approved a land use consent
to construct a solar farm in
Lauriston, and has made an
application for a site near
Dunsandel.
A new joint venture formed by
UK-based Hive Energy, Ethical
Power, and Solar South West in
2021, HES Aotearoa is aiming to
develop solar assets across New
Zealand.
The company is expected to
develop a pipeline of nearly 350
megawatts of utility scale PV
solar assets across the country,
supporting the Government’s
commitment to achieving 100 per
cent renewable energy generation
in the country by 2030.
The Lauriston site is
understood to be capable of
producing 50mW of power,
which EA Networks chief
executive Roger Sutton said is
enough power to mean Mid-
Canterbury would be energy
self-sufficient on a normal day,
and not have to take from the
national grid.
“On days when there is little
irrigation load or not much
heating load, the district would
be self-sufficient and it might

Zealand’s energy.
even be a net exporter of energy
to the grid,” Sutton said.
The district has the Highbank
hydro-electric power station that
can generate up to 25mW, he
said.
The average load on the
network during the day in
winter is around 50mW and
rises to 180mW in summer
when irrigators are in full swing,
Sutton said.
Highbank produces half the
power required in winter, but
does not operate in summer as
the water is used for irrigation.
Sutton said the increase in
solar, and other renewable
energy sources, changes the
supply and demand balance
and will lead to lower prices for
customers.
“At the moment the amount of
solar in New Zealand is actually
very small and produces around
one per cent of our energy.
“The forecasts are that within
15 years maybe 15 to 20 per cent
on some days will come from
solar.”
While a large scale solar farm
is in the works, Sutton said he is
unaware of any plans for wind
generation.

Pinup contestant launches
vintage extravaganza
• By Susan Sandys
RETROSPECTIVE: Sharvelle Mackay is launching a
nationwide vintage festival that will be held at Lincoln
Event Centre in September.
FORMER MISS Pinup New
Zealand contestant Sharvelle
Mackay of Rolleston is
launching a new nationwide
annual vintage festival.
Expected to attract up to 4000
people from across New Zealand,
the inaugural Vintage Fest
NZ will be held September 24 at
Lincoln Event Centre.
“It is New Zealand’s newest
vintage extravaganza, where we
will celebrate and commemorate
the years gone by,” Mackay said.
New events will be a Miss
Vintage Australasia pinup competition
and evening Victory
Dance, from which proceeds
will go to the military charity
Te Kiwi Māia. There will also be
a pre-1969 classic and vintage
vehicle show, sizeable military
display, vintage and classic car
show, pageants, photography
competition and displays, live
music, stalls, food and a mini
vintage carnival.
Mackay said she and fellow
committee members were
pleased to have the support of
the district council for the event.
The Miss Vintage Australasia
would be an international pageant,
bringing in entries from
across the Tasman, thereby creating
connections between New
Zealand and Australian vintage
communities.
“I have already been invited
to judge over in Australia at
Chrome Fest as part of launching
Vintage Fest NZ, which is
very exciting,” Mackay said.
Mackay is a long-time fan of
all things vintage. Last year she
was runner-up at the nationwide
Miss Pinup New Zealand
pageant, where she competed as
Miss Chevy Chevelle.
BACKYARD CRITTERS
NEWS 11
Mike Bowie is an ecologist who specialises in
entomology (insects and other invertebrates).
Each week he introduces a new species found
in his backyard at Lincoln. His column aims
to raise public awareness of biodiversity, the
variety of living things around us. Check out
the full list of invertebrates found at www.
inaturalist.org/projects/backyard-biodiversity-bugs-in-mylincoln-section
THE TERM “bug” is confusing,
as to many people it means all
insects or even invertebrates.
However, to an entomologist,
true bugs or Hemiptera are only
a small subset of all insects.
They all possess a piercing and
sucking mouthpart, usually for
feeding on plant sap.
Hemiptera include species
such as aphids, cicadas,
planthoppers, leafhoppers
and shield bugs. There are
some non-plant sucking
Hemiptera including
bed bugs and others that
prey on insects.
A vegetarian example
commonly seen in the summer is
the wheat bug or Nysius huttoni.
It is a New Zealand endemic,
widely distributed throughout
North and South Islands, as well
as Chatham and Three Kings
Islands. More recently it has been
found in England, Belgium, and
the Netherlands.
The wheat bug is known from
sea level to 1800m altitude, in
Wednesday June 29 2022 Selwyn Times
What defines a ‘bug’
diverse areas including gardens,
lawns, weedy fields, orchards,
roadsides, pasture, wastelands,
and riverbeds.
It can potentially be found anywhere
where sparse vegetation
allows sun to reach the
ground. Adult wheat bugs
are 2.4 to 4.5mm in length
and dull brownish grey in
colour.
The wheat bug is a
polyphagous species
feeding on more than
75 plant species including
cereals, vegetables,
weeds, and horticultural
plants. It can be a major
pest of brassica seedlings including
kale, rape, turnip and swede,
and can be a huge problem in
wheat also.
These bugs inject saliva
containing enzymes into foods to
liquidise the contents to ingest.
When feeding on wheat grains
the enzymes alter the gluten
protein severely reducing its
baking quality and marketability.

Predator trapping and native planting
pay off with bellbird sightings
• By Susan Sandys
NATIVE BIRDS at Kirwee are
getting a chance at survival
thanks to the ongoing trapping
efforts.
There have been reports
of the sound and sight of
bellbirds in the village itself in
recent months, with residents
attributing this to trapping,
alongside planting of natives in
Kirwee Reserve and in residents’
gardens.
In the last two years, residents
under the umbrella of Predator
Free Kirwee have trapped 224
rats, 201 hedgehogs, 64 feral cats,
47 mustelids and 32 possums.
Resident Jessica Vereijssen said
she had photographed a bellbird
in her garden this month, after
seeing one for the first time since
she moved there 14 years ago.
“There has been a rumour re
a bellbird in Kirwee for a while,
now we have some photos as
proof,” she said.
Predator Free Kirwee coordinators
Nicci Dillon and
Kelvin Sewell said the group’s
30 members run 110 traps in
and around the village, as well
as on lifestyle blocks and farms.
The area covered is from around
Kirwee to as far as Halkett and
the Waimakariri River.
Dillon said wildlife was also
being assisted by more native
plantings in people’s gardens.
This provided food for birds,
such as bellbirds, fantails and
grey warblers.
Trapping for feral cats was
undertaken only with live traps
checked every 24 hours, and
only outside of the village. She
said feral cats were the worst
predator for native wildlife on
the surrounding farms and
wilderness areas.
“Because they just eat
everything, they will just keep
eating. And they roam for miles,
they breed really well,” Dillon
said.
She welcomed the district
council becoming the first in
the South Island to introduce
mandatory microchipping of cats
as of July 1, as this would help
when it came to determining
whether a trapped cat was lost
from its home, or feral.
Dillon said nothing had
been done for a long time to
manage feral cat populations.
She believed they should be
officially classified as a pest so
they could be managed as part of
Environment Canterbury’s Long
Term Plan.
Her call echoes that made by
Forest & Bird last week, which
wants the 2050 Predator Free
goals to include cats.
ECan principal adviser
biosecurity Laurence Smith
said the issue of feral cats was
complex. Previous work had
determined more consultation
was required on the control of
feral cats while considering the
management of domestic cats.
The regional council was in the
initial stages of assessing more
than 1000 organisms, including
feral cats, as candidates for

future pest management.
“Declaration as a pest
doesn’t mean resourcing will
be provided for management
or control. Alternative
management options could be
explored including co-ordinated
community-funded projects in
specific areas or catchments,”
Smith said.
MANAGEMENT: Bellbirds have been sighted in Kirwee thanks to residents’ trapping and planting efforts, however some
believe more needs to be done to manage feral cats.

Cats required to be microchipped
from July 1
All domestic cats in Selwyn over four months old will have to be
microchipped and registered from 1 July 2022.
This requirement is part of the Keeping Animals, Poultry and Bees
Bylaw which the Selwyn District Council adopted last year.
WINTER FUN FOR
SCHOOL HOLIDAYS
Selwyn young people will not be short of entertainment these school holidays with over 40 events and
activities on offer to choose from.
From learning to DJ to exploring the stars in an inflatable star dome, watching exploding science
experiments, creating crafts, sports, or getting your groove on at dance workshops there’s something
for everyone, wherever you are in the district.

This holiday brochure includes a wide range of events designed to put a smile on the faces for people
of all ages, Council Community Services and Facilities Group Manager Denise Kidd says.
“Our team enjoys putting together school holidays fun and this year it’s a great mix of creative events.
We’re really looking forward to seeing some huge smiles from such a huge range of things to do.”
Annual favourites return, including the High Ropes Challenge, the ever popular Elgregoe the magician
and the internationally acclaimed Paper Girl Show by Louise Kerr, mixing clowning, juggling, magic
and circus stunts.
Three indoor movies, a series of craft events, diving and snorkelling taster sessions, sports sessions
and even a visit from Aotearoa’s own dinosaurs in the form of three tuatara will be among other
popular returning events.
New events include drama and musical theatre workshops, dance classes for all ages from Anna Lee
school of Dance and Indian Cooking Skills classes.
Amadeo from Fun Science with Amadeo will be returning with his second set of Selwyn Spectacular
Science Shows covering chaos and order, fresh from selling out in half an hour for his first show in the
district in April.

Council confirms plans for the year
The Council has adopted its Annual Plan for the next 12 months, with a focus on delivering in the key
areas identified by the community.
The plan commits to a $112.5 million capital plan to deliver on the needs for growth and the plans agreed
with the community through the Long-Term Plan (LTP) last year.
They include $20.2m in water supply projects; $21.6m in wastewater projects; and $20.4m in
transportation projects across our growing district.
The plan adopted four new projects following consultation. The Council confirmed its support of a
proposal by Go Hororātā to establish a community hub at the current Hororātā Community Hall. This
would including providing $1 million of funding as agreed in the Long-Term Plan, with no impact on rates
and be subject to a feasibility study, and preparation of a Memorandum of Understanding.
It also confirmed the closure of parts of the Upper Ellesmere Water Race over a five year period, the
water race ratings and a $20 Ecological Enhancement targeted rate and harmonisation of Land Drainage
rates for investing in biodiversity.
The projects deliver on the community’s expectations, Mayor Sam Broughton says.
“Selwyn is a growing district and remains a great place to live and work. Last year we agreed a strong
plan with the community to meet the challenges we face and ensure that we strengthen the aspects
that make us the most popular place to live in the country. We’ve checked in with our community and
confirmed that we’re on the right track with the projects that matter most to them.”
The average rates increase is 6%. Rate changes will vary for individual households. The 6% average
increase is slightly higher than the 4.9%
average forecast in the LTP last year – but is
in line with the current levels of inflation in
New Zealand, reflecting the increased costs
the Council is facing in delivering what the
community has asked for.
The plan was agreed following consultation
and public hearings. A total of 140 formal
submission were received. Of these, 28
submitters were heard in public hearings that
took place over two days.
The decision to include the cat microchipping requirement was
made following the strong support it received during public
consultation. Selwyn is the fourth council in the country to require
microchipping of cats.
“Microchipping your cat is the best way to ensure your lost pet gets
home. It is also considered key to being a responsible pet owner,”
says Council’s Regulatory Manager Susan Atherton. “A cat may
go missing for a number of reasons. Often cats are also presumed
to be strays and are taken to shelters by well-meaning people.
Microchipping allows veterinarians and animal shelters, such as
SPCA, to contact the owner once their cat is found.”
Cat owners are responsible for the one-off cost of microchipping
and registration for the life of the cat with the approved microchip
registry, the New Zealand Companion Animals Register (NZCAR).
Microchipping can be done at any local vet. The registration with
NZCAR is most commonly done for the owner by their vet at the
time of microchipping, or by SPCA/Rescues at the time of adoption.
The Council will take an educational approach to encouraging
people to microchip and register their pet.
“We believe most pet owners are already responsible owners who
are doing their best to ensure that
if their cat ever gets lost it can be
returned home safely,” says Mrs
Atherton.
If people find a stray cat they
should continue to take them to a
cat rescue, SPCA or their local vet.

Keeping Animals, Poultry and
Bees Bylaw and domestic cats

website at selwyn.govt.nz/cats.
Council supplies to meet new
national water rules
The Council will be upgrading water supplies over the remainder of
the year to meet new national rules for keeping drinking water safe.
The Council is working to meet the requirements of the Water
Services Act 2021, which requires all councils to be able to provide
residual disinfection (chlorine) for all public drinking water supplies
and for all supplies to be chlorinated by 15 November 2022, unless
they have an exemption from the drinking water authority
Taumata Arowai.
Selwyn has 27 drinking water supplies, providing drinking water
to 70% of the district’s residents. Nine of these supplies are
permanently chlorinated and the Council has begun the work to
ensure all remaining supplies have the infrastructure in place to
provide chlorination.
Over the coming months, the Council will be completing the
installation of this infrastructure and beginning chlorination on a
scheme-by-scheme basis, to comply with the law. Residents will be
contacted directly before the chlorine is turned on for their supply.
The Council has also begun applying for exemptions for schemes
that are not already chlorinated, Council Group Manager
Infrastructure Murray Washington says.
“As far as we know, Selwyn was the first council in the country to file
an application for an exemption from chlorination. This is in keeping
with our commitment in the Council’s Long-Term Plan 2021-2031
that we would work with Taumata Arowai to clarify the requirements
for exemption, and work with
the community on the costs and
rating options for the upgrades
needed to gain exemptions.
As this process continues we
will keep working with our
community, while ensuring we
comply with the law to keep our
drinking water safe.”
Where a scheme does not have
an exemption on 15 November
2022 temporary chlorination will
continue as required by law. For

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
Injecting horse likely to result in ban
• By Chris Barclay
THE controversy-plagued
Canterbury harness racing
industry is poised to lose another
up-and-coming trainer as Cam
Jones awaits a ban for illegally
injecting a horse hours before a
race at Addington.
Jones is the latest industry
participant to face sanctions as
the Racing Integrity Board strive
to clean up the sport, after he
eventually admitted breaching
a Harness Racing New Zealand
rule of racing last year.
He will join another former
Woodend Beach-based trainer
Jesse Alford and disgraced Rangiora
horseman Mitchell Kerr in
exile after acknowledging he injected
Johnny Nevits with a substance
about 2-1/2 hours before
it was due to start at Addington
Raceway on December 10.
Johnny Nevits was previously
trained by Alford, who was disqualified
for seven years in May
2021 for injecting the horse with
formalin, a banned substance
used to control bleeding.
A month earlier Kerr was
banned for life for selling a nonexistent
horse and also charging
insurance premiums for fictitious
policies.
Senior trainer Nigel McGrath
was also disqualified for eight
years in July 2020 for attempting
to dope horses while Operation
BREACH: Promising harness racing trainer Cam Jones is
poised to be banned from the sport after injecting a horse
shorty before it was to race at Addington.
Inca, a National Organised
Crime Group probe into corruption
and drug use in the industry
is also ongoing.
Jones pleaded for leniency – a
ban less than half the punishment
sought by the RIB – when
he appeared before a RIB penalty
hearing.
“I’d like to ask if you’d
consider a period of 12 months
disqualification … I’d like my
story to be one of redemption,”
he said.
RIB adjudicator Professor
Geoff Hall reserved his decision.
The RIB wants a ban of not less
than two years.
After denying he breached a
rule when investigators swooped
on his stable, Jones admitted the
charge in April.
“When I was being interviewed
I did lie, I knew when the
truth came out it was going to be
it for me for a while,” Jones said.
Investigators witnessed Jones
depositing an item subsequently
identified as a hypodermic
syringe into a wheelie bin at his
stable, shortly before he loaded
Johnny Nevits onto a float.
Fellow trainer Andrew Fitzgerald
told investigators he saw
Jones with an empty syringe, but
he had not seen him inject the
horse.
A RIB vet inspected Johnny
Nevits at Addington and
detected a 10mm soft swelling
on the left jugular vein,
consistent with an intravenous
injection site.
Injecting a horse with any
substance on race day is prohibited;
the maximum penalties
are a $20,000 fine and/or being
disqualified from holding a
training licence for a period not
exceeding five years.
Johnny Nevits was scratched
from the $10,950 race and was
later retired due to a tendon issue.
Urine and blood samples
found no evidence of prohibited
substances and the RIB was unaware
what liquid was injected
until the hearing, where Jones
revealed he administered the
product Flexadin in an attempt
to calm Johnny Nevits before the
race.
“The horse was thought to
have thyroid issues. Without it
(Flexadin) he was quite a revvy
sort of horse,” Jones said.
“It was more (about) just trying
to keep him in a good head
space,” Jones said.
Jones said the horse had
Flexadin weekly for about two
months, usually on a Tuesday.
However, staff failed to administer
the dose as scheduled so
Jones, who had been absent for
several days following the birth
of his daughter, injected the
horse on race day.
“I wasn’t trying to get an edge.
I was trying to save him being a
hot sweaty mess so he’d run up
to his ability, not add anything
to him,” he said.
A junior driver, who started
training in September 2020,
Jones has recorded 16 winners
and 15 placings from 68 starts,
earning $111,958 in stake money.
He wound down his operation
with a ban imminent, and said
the solitary horse under his care
would be moved within 24 hours
of the penalty being imposed.

Gotta light?
Do it right.
Smoke from outdoor burning can be a
real nuisance for neighbours.
If your property is under 2 hectares, you
can’t burn outdoors, even if you live in a
rural area.
If your property is over 2 hectares, consider
alternatives before lighting up, such as mulching,
composting, kerbside collection or transfer
stations.
If you do carry out an outdoor burn, you can’t
burn your rubbish or other banned materials.
Get an efficient burn with these hot tips:
• Choose the right weather: Cloudy days are the best for
burning. They usually have light winds that disperse and
reduce the spread of smoke.
• Pile the debris: Small piles are better than one large one –
they burn faster with less smoke. Remove as much dirt as
possible from the debris before piling it.
• Give it air: Make sure air can flow under the pile. It will
burn hotter with less smoke. Remove any soot or ash that
is upsetting airflow.
• Finish burning before night-time: Cool temperatures make
smoke sink and evening breezes take it to low-lying areas,
creating a hazard and a nuisance.

conditions when undertaking an outdoor burn and

A JUNIOR women’s rugby
team is the focus of a study
on the relationship between
impact and concussions.
Lincoln University
kinesiology and exercise
science PhD student Nicole
Spriggs is researching the
impact of the collisions the
Prebbleton under-17 team
takes over a season.
“Most of the research on
collisions and concussions
in rugby is male dominated
and on elite athletes, even
though research suggests
that concussions are worst in
females and youth players,”
Spriggs said.
“Additionally youth
players’ brains have not
fully developed, so seeing if
repetitive sub-concussion
impacts (head knocks not
heavy enough to result in a
concussion) affects their brain
health is important.”
HitIQ instrumented mouth
guards, which contain
three accelerometers and a
gyroscope, will record the
impacts the players have above
an 8G (gravitational force)
threshold.
Spriggs is investigating
whether the collisions affect
brain structure by using
MRI scans, and brain
function through a cognitive
test.
“The hope is to see if subconcussive
impacts across the
season affect players as well
as investigating if concussive
impacts affect players’ brain
function/structure.
“I’m collecting data across
the 2022 and 2023 season,
from around 33 games and 81
trainings, so results would be
expected in 2024.”

head coach Kevin Scovell said
the club was keen to take part
in the study.
“We are looking forward
to seeing how this progresses
throughout the season and the
results it could produce for
the future of head knocks and
concussions.”
Spriggs is also part of a
wider study with Canterbury
University, which focuses
on the usage of head gear to
reduce impacts. The Waihora
under-16 boys team is part of
that research.
“Hopefully we’ll get some
interesting data where we can
compare the boys and the
girls,” she said.
Milestones and tries for veterans
• By Tatiana Gibbs
A TRIO OF Ellesmere rugby
veterans celebrated their
milestones in style, each scoring
tries as their clubs notched
victories as the semi-finals loom.
Lincoln prop Ryan Odering
capped his 150th appearance by
powering over against winless
Rolleston while Richard Catherwood
and Ryan Koning marked
their 100th games for Darfield
and Waihora respectively with a
brace of five-pointers on Saturday.
Waihora remain
unbeaten
in their quest
for the Coleman
Shield,
beating West
Melton 39-15,
with No 8
Richard
Catherwood
Koning scoring
the contest’s
opening and
final tries.
The loose forward, who joined
the club a decade ago after
moving from Southland, was a
member of the Coleman Shield
and Luisetti Seeds Combined
Cup-winning squads in 2014 and
continues to be a key player.
“Ryan’s the heart and soul of
the team and he’s also the fun,”
said Waihora head coach Ross
Soper.
“He’s the first to run off the
field after training and have
a beer and he’ll be one of the
last ones to leave. A Ryan that’s
enjoying himself is a Ryan that’s
best for the team.”
Soper’s counterpart Chris
Fifeld credited Waihora but was
also proud of a line-up including
eight colts players due to injuries.
“It shows the depth of that
colt’s team we’ve got, that they
can come up and play for us like
that,” Fifield said.
Soper was also impressed with
the opposition.
“They were very good, they
had nothing to lose. We just
didn’t click into gear but that’s
full credit to West Melton for not
allowing us,” he said.
Catherwood scored twice in
a 66-18 thrashing of Hornby,
which enabled Darfield to secure

appearance for the club.
top spot ahead of this weekend’s
bye.
The second five-eighths, who
played 56 games for Mid Canterbury,
made his senior debut for
Darfield in 2008 and returned
to the club in 2017 after a sevenyear
stint in Methven.
“He’s playing better this year
than what he probably has the
last two or three seasons. He’s a
good club man, he’s on the committee
and puts a lot back into
the club,” said Darfield manager
Scott Mitchell said.
Odering, who started in his
landmark game, scored via a lineout
drive during his 50-minute
shift before Lincoln beat Rolleston
22-12.
“We kept him out there as long
as we could, he looks the part,
he’s sure fit enough,” said Lincoln
head coach Bevan Sisson.
“He’s a really nice top guy too,
who just loves being involved
with the club.”
Rolleston had the consolation
of fighting back from a 22-0 deficit,
leaving Lincoln to search for
an 80-minute performance.
“It’s the story of our year really,
we start really well and then just
can’t seem to hang in there,” Sisson
said.
In the other Ellesmere fixture,
Coleman Shield holders Southbridge
were held to a 23-23 draw
after trailing Springston 20-10
with 10 minutes remaining.
CENTURY MAKER: Koning leads out Waihora in his 100th
senior game for the club.
Southbridge scored two
unconverted tries and a penalty
to take the lead but Springston
fullback Conner Hamlin squared
the ledger with a late penalty.
The stalemate leaves
Southbridge and Springston tied
third in the standings just two
points ahead of Prebbleton with
three regular season rounds
remaining.

Is your cat
microchipped?
The new Selwyn District Council
by-law says that every person who
keeps cats that are over four months old
must have them microchipped and on
the New Zealand Companion Animals
Register (NZCAR) by July 1, 2022.
NZCAR is a nationwide animal registry
that is dedicated to reuniting companion
animals with their guardians as quickly
and easily as possible.
How to find out if your cat is
registered on NZCAR
If you know your cat’s microchip
number (this should appear on its
veterinary booklet), give your vet a call
or call NZCAR directly on 0508 567873
(0508 LOSTPET) or type in the number
on the register’s website.
If you are not sure if your
cat is registered, take it to
your local vet and ask them
to scan it for a microchip. If
it is microchipped, it will come
up with a number.
If your cat is not
microchipped, your vet will be
able to do this for a fee. You will
get given copies of the microchip
number for your reference. Ensure

Why microchip your cat?
Cats are notorious for wandering. If
your cat has become lost after moving
to a new house, separated from you
after a disaster, or hit by a car, being
microchipped is the easiest way to
reunite you with your favourite furry
friend. Microchipping also helps people
become responsible pet owners too.

Harness racing industry
criticised following
alleged sexual assault
• By Chris Barclay
A HARNESS racing lobby
group has criticised the
industry’s governing body
for failing to stand down
two trainers charged
with sexually assaulting a
female worker during New
Zealand Cup Week last
November.
The Harness Racing
Owners Federation wrote
to Harness Racing New
Zealand, the Racing
Integrity Board and
new Racing Minister
Kieran McAnulty last
week, frustrated the
men – who have interim
name suppression – were
still able to work in the
industry while criminal
charges were pending.
A Canterbury-based
trainer, 25, faces two
charges of indecent assault
and a third charge of
indecent assault allegedly
committed with a 29-yearold
man, whose case has
been transferred to the
Invercargill district court.
They are also jointly
charged with assaulting the
woman. All charges stem
from an alleged incident
on November 11.
Federation spokesman
Neil Bennett, a former
owner who was chair of
the now defunct New
Zealand Trotting Owners
Association, said HRNZ
should follow the example
of the Australian Rugby
League Commission,
which instituted a ‘no-fault
stand down policy’ in 2019
for NRL players facing
serious charges.
“It’s not a good look, it’s
shocking for the industry.
It’s an industry we love and
Light
Festival

we’re seeing it decimated,”
Bennett said.
“There should be a stand
down policy when issues
like this arise. We want
them out of the game while
the issue is investigated.”
The letter stated: “What
signals are you sending to
the alleged victim and all
the women in the industry
with your lack of actions
around this sexual assault
case?
“It is just not good
enough to take no action
and just wait until the
court case is concluded
and not even address them
at all publicly.”
Bennett said he had
received an email from
RIB chief executive Mike
Clement, who told the
online-based group of
2500 member via email:
“In certain circumstances
it is open for HRNZ to
consider suspension of
licenses. This is a matter
for HRNZ.
“If the police had concerns
about the safety of
the victim pending disposition
of the charges, then

that they have done so.”
Bennett was awaiting
a response from HRNZ
chief executive Gary
Woodham and McNulty,
who assumed the racing
portfolio from deputy
prime minister Grant
Robertson during a cabinet
reshuffle last week.
When approached by
The Star Woodham could
not confirm whether
HRNZ had a policy where
industry participants facing
criminal charges are
still able to work under the
presumption of innocence.
“As this case is via police,
we have limited knowledge
of information,” he said,
adding he did not know
the identity of the defendants.
“We have not been told
who the police are investigating,
and they have name
suppression.
“As far as the

via our legal counsel to

JUNE OFTEN brings the start
of rain and there is always cold
weather, but there is still plenty to
do in the garden such as pruning
and planting trees.
Here are some top tasks to keep
you busy and warm.
Now is the time to start planting
any pip and stone fruit trees.
New young trees are now available
in garden centres; ensure you
select healthy looking specimens.
Consider your planting areas
carefully, making sure your young
tree has full exposure to the sun
and is sheltered from strong prevailing
winds.
For existing pip and stone fruit
trees, you can now begin pruning.
Try to keep the tree height under
three metres to allow for easier
harvesting and netting of trees
where birds are a problem.
June is also a safe time to plant
new ornamental trees and shrubs.
Planting technique is important
to allow new plants to thrive
in both climatic extremes for
example wet winters and hot dry
summers. Also incorporate plenty
of compost into the soil when
planting new specimens. Spread
compost around existing trees
and shrubs to give them a boost.
Continue to keep sowing and
planting winter veges such as
broccoli, cabbage cauliflower,
peas and spinach to ensure a
continuous supply.
Protect empty garden beds by
sowing green manure crops for
example lupins. They protect the
top soil from wind and water erosion
and add organic matter back
to the soil when dug in. Wait till
they are about 15-20cm high then
chop up with a spade as you dig
them back into the soil.
Prune roses when all the leaves
have fallen and apply a winter
clean up spray of copper oxychloride
or lime sulphur after
pruning. Remove and destroy
any diseased wood after pruning.
Replace any rose specimens that
have not performed adequately or
were heavily infected with black
spot or rust during the growing
season. Choose new varieties
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
Prepare for spring planting
from catalogues or visit your local
gardening centre.
June is an excellent time to plan
new gardens in your property in
preparation for spring planting. It
is a good idea to monitor future
garden areas for cold winds and
excessive moisture, as both conditions
will influence what you can
plant in that area.
Plant new shelter belts and or
hedges where they are required.
A lot of vegetables grow
happily through the cold weather.
Don’t forget, though, that winter
is also a good time to leave
some beds empty so that they
have a rest. It’s also a good season
to create some new vege beds.
The easy way to do this is to
HARDY: While
spring is the
traditional
time to plant
flowers and
vegetables,
trees and
shrubs can be
planted now.
start by constructing an aboveground
edging. Then fill the
enclosed bed with manure,
leaves, straw or grass clippings.
Leave this alone for a couple of
months and you’ll have the perfect
base for your spring plantings.
An additional sprinkling of
lime encourages biological activity
in the bed and will prove to be
beneficial for most veges.
Members of the cabbage family,
for example, chinese cabbages,
broccoli, cauliflowers and coldloving
brussels sprouts are ideally
suited to the winter garden.
Broad beans and peas grow
well in the winter months but
won’t always set their pods until
spring.

Try nemesia
for colour
IF YOU HAVE an area in your
garden you’d like to blanket with
colour, then nemesia is the plant
for you.
It is a lovely small bedding
plant that can be used for edging,
in borders and as a ground cover
and, in the right conditions, will
produce so many flowers it’s hard
to see the greenery.
Growing to a height of around
20cm, it’s also lovely grown in
pots, hanging planters or any
other suitable growing container.
Nemesia seedlings come in
mixed colours. Bi-colour bundles
contain seedlings that will
produce flowers with more than
one colour on each flower. Some
are a mix of white and lavender,
yellow or pink and others are
just a mix of different colours.
A mixed bundle will produce all
sorts of different coloured flowers
including orange, white, red and
pink.
Wherever you decide to plant
your nemesia, try to ensure the
soil is rich and moist and that
the plants will be mostly in full
sun to part shade. Then simply
plant your seedlings around 15cm
apart from each other.
Depending on the weather,
in just five to six weeks you
can expect a beautiful array of
different coloured flowers in your
chosen garden bed or container.

MY PRIDE AND JOY
Mud, sweat and gears …
and lots of dust!
If the thought of noise, dust, and the
adrenaline-packed action of custombuilt
cars going head to head over dirt,
mud or shingle on a course that offers
jumps, tight corners, and long straights
excites you, then the Canterbury Offroad
Racing Club (CORC) is the place for you.
CORC’s Amanda King thinks people are
interested and says, “I think it’s the noise,
the dirt and the passion of motorsport
and getting out and doing it!”
The home track is on Weedons Ross
Road and is a purpose-built clay-based
1.1km offroad track (short course). With
a well-known tabletop jump at the start of
the track, spectators can get great views of
Advanced
Advanced
big air jumps. But of course, tight corners
and long straights keep the racers’ minds
on the job where they must react quickly.
Anybody can be involved with the
club with nine classes of vehicles; there is
something for everyone. Entrants must
follow rule book specifications, including
the need for a roll cage, roof bracing,
special seats, 5-point harness and neck
braces. Safety is paramount.
Whether it’s the basic entry challenger
style, the Class 1 monsters with big
engines and big bodies or the popular
side-by-side like race model Can-Am
or Yamaha with heavy-duty suspension,
there’s fun and competition available.

Vehicles can range from tens to hundreds
of thousands of dollars in value. However,
fun can be had at any level, and Amanda
says that even at the entry level, people
can have “just as much fun as the big
boys in their hundred thousand dollar
vehicle.” There’s even a junior class
starting from five years of age! Currently,
there are 39 members, the youngest being
eight years old, while the oldest is in
their 70s. However, racing can’t happen
without the tireless and necessary work
of the volunteers who help with flag
marshalling, lap scoring, gear and safety
checks and numerous activities. Amanda
states, “We wouldn’t be able to race
without those people.”
Look out for Canterbury’s upcoming
iconic “Mainland Challenge” event at the
Weedon Ross Road track. It is a national
round held over two days on July 16-17.

gate, and under 15s are free. The track is
specially set up for spectators, with many
stands providing excellent views. Each
class has four heats over the day, and then
vehicles are classed by their fastest lap for
racing that continues Sunday. This racing
takes place in the adjoining forest behind
the track, where the road and forest are
closed, and competitors participate in a
250km enduro race.

Ten years on and
still going strong
Driving past Jones Road Auto on
Iport Drive, you can see the business’s
popularity with the considerable number
of vehicles serviced daily. Jones Road
Auto, owned by Nigel and Lisa Fleck, has
been in operation for the past ten years
and offers a full range of servicing and
repairs on all vehicle makes and models.
They also provide a booked WOF service
and a WOF while-you-wait lane.
There have been some significant
highlights during the last ten years. Lisa
and Nigel state, “One of our biggest
highlights was in 2019 moving into our
own purpose-built workshop, that we
designed and built ourselves and is twice
as big as the first shop, which has given
us much more capacity to service our
customers.” Other highlights include
opening a second workshop branch in
Springston seven years ago and winning
several industry awards. The automotive
industry has also benefited as they have
served on three different industrywide
boards while helping mentor and support
other businesses.
Helping others continues in the local
community. They provide sponsorships
as keen supporters of several local sports
clubs and community organisations
throughout the Selwyn District. Lisa says,
“It’s really important to us to give back to
our local community who support us so
amazingly!
Jones Road Auto considers the customer
their number one priority, and with a staff
numbering 19, they are committed to
providing excellent customer service and
top-quality work. Customers can enjoy
a coffee and WiFi in the inviting waiting
room, and free courtesy cars are also
available.
Car maintenance is becoming more
important to ensure vehicles run as
efficiently and economically as possible.
Lisa states, “Kiwis are notorious for
waiting until things break before sorting
them, but there has definitely been a
change in attitudes towards proactive
maintenance – which is more cost efficient
in the long run!” Also, with the rapidly
evolving automotive industry and the
large variety of vehicle models in New
Zealand, there is always new technology
to learn. Jones Road Auto techs are kept
up to date and take advantage of regular
industry training courses. Lisa confirms,
“It’s a never-ending cycle!”
Nigel and Lisa give a “huge thank you
to our customers and community for
supporting us for the last ten years; it’s
been an amazing journey, and we look
forward to being part of the community
for the next ten years!”

Sports sedan kind to environment
ARE YOU considering buying
another car, even a sports sedan?
If the answer is yes but you
know it’s time to look at a more
environmentally-friendly option
then the chances are you’ve
considered a hybrid.
That’s where Toyota’s Camry
comes in. You can have a hybrid
and a sports sedan all in one
package. The latest Camry to
come out of the Toyota factories
incorporates an SX version,
meaning simply it has fitment
that gives it a type of sporty edge.
The items I’m talking about are
spring and damper rates firmed
slightly over the standard model
(and luxury ZR), while the SX
has a discreet bootlid spoiler, side
skirts, 19in wheels (up one inch)
and black accents around a new
grille and headlights. Inside, the
sport-specification front seats
have a buyer’s choice of red or
black leather accents.
The Camry is available here in
three variants, regular readers
will recall my range-topping ZR
evaluation in April and will relate
to my favourable comments. It is
a discreet hybrid, other than the
badges, and it is a car that never
fails to impress.
The ZR at $52,490 is very much
a luxury vehicle, the SX sits below
that at $48,490 and is certainly
biased to lure the sporty buyer,
the big wheels are black and with
the body kit it looks like a low,
sleek four-door coupe.
For interest’s sake, the
entry-level GX sits at $43,990,
reiterating all Camry models
are now hybrid, there’s no other
option.
The SX model landed in my
driveway the week after the ZR,
and if I did have one criticism
it would be the SX lacks heated
seats. Both the ZR and SX get full
leather trim and the weather had
turned cold in Canterbury, naked
leather isn’t very inviting to climb
into.
Nevertheless, that was my only
gripe, I’d happily save the $4k to
have the sporty version, its more
involving presence certainly hints
at how I like a car to look and
feel. It does get some up-market
features elsewhere – satellite
navigation, Apple CarPlay and
Android Auto connectivity,
paddle-shift gear selectors,
adaptive cruise control and keyless
entry and ignition are all fitted.
Of course, the new Camry also
gets a five-star Australasian New
Car Assessment Program safety
rating, the Toyota Safety Sense
suite of kit is very proactive,
aiding driving in normal day-today
situations.
The Camry also looks
spectacular, it has edgy styling
and looks which ooze character.
That’s no surprise, if you take a
look at any of the Toyota/Lexus
designs these days you will find
all vehicles have strong focal
points.
BOLD: The Camry SX sits on 19in black wheels.
TOYOTA CAMRY SX: Hybrid driveline in a sporty body shell.
It also handles as well as it
looks, the sport-tuned suspension
provides flat and balanced body
control, there is a strong feel of
grip through sport specification
Dunlop tyres (235/40 x 19in),
while accuracy and steering
feedback are assured.
The suspension is a fully
independent front-strut/reardouble
wishbone system, and if
you combine all of these elements
you have a supple chassis that is
capable in all driving situations.
Toyota’s well proven Hybrid
Synergy Drive engine/motor
system lurks under the bonnet.
There are no surprises these
days in terms of how it operates,
hybrids have been with us for
many years now and the way
they work is so seamless that it
feels just as if you are driving a
car with an internal combustion
engine only.
However, the benefits of
hybrid are many-fold. The two
most important are those of its
ability to minimise fuel use, and
to provide the type of driving a
buyer would expect from the size
of engine he/she chooses.
The Camry hybrid utilises a
2.5-litre petrol engine, its job is
not just to create propulsion, but
it charges a battery bank that in
turn provides drive to an electric
motor. The transition can only be
• Price – Toyota Camry SX
hybrid, $48,490
• Dimensions – Length,
4905mm; width, 1840mm;
height, 1445mm
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,
front-wheeldrive,
2498cc, 160kW,
213Nm, continuously
variable automatic
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 8.1sec
• Fuel usage – 4.7/100km
picked up if your senses are astute
or you are watching the internal
display graphics, the process
cycles constantly depending on
throttle load, weight in the car,
road undulations and windaffected
drag.
The end result is with 160kW
on tap the engine feels very lively,
and with a lot of low down torque
that you get from a big fourcylinder
engine, the Camry has
all the power that you need. For
the record, a standstill to 100km/h
time of 8.1sec can be expected.
If you are paying to fill up the
tank you’ll be pleased to know
it is also wonderfully thrifty.
Toyota rates the Camry with a
best possible usage of 4.7-litre
per 100km on a combined cycle
average. That correlates well with
the 5.7l/100km figure constantly
showing in the dash panel
readouts.
The SX hybrid provided me
with one of the most enjoyable
drives I’ve had for 2022. I took the
evaluation car on a long journey
south to the Mackenzie Country,
and on those long flowing roads
it just felt so nice to be in, it is
quiet, plush and lives up to its
designation as a sporty model.
That is the essence of the
Camry hybrid. If Toyota had put
a GT badge on it I wouldn’t have
been disappointed. It’s a fabulous
cruising car and one that does its
best to make comfortable travel
for its occupants.
Sure, the suspension on the
SX is gently firmer than that
of the other variants, but that
only serves to smooth cornering
speed and takes away more of the
body’s gravitational movement.
Also, if you are thinking the low
profile tyres would affect ride
quality, that is certainly not the
case because clever suspension
disguises that.
The Camry hybrid also
qualifies for the Government’s
low carbon emission clean car
discount, buyers can expect
temping rebates from $2490 to
$3160, depending on the variant.
Surely, now is a good time find a
way into Toyota’s biggest sedan.

Kia ora
As the Mayor of Selwyn I have been
privileged to support local initiatives and
achievements across Selwyn. A recent
example of this was when Plunket opened
a new playground in Darfield. The project
was conceived over two years ago and
was driven by local volunteers who had
sought funding from the Council and
then used local contractors to deliver
something exceptional. Now parents and
caregivers have another safe place to
bring their tamariki and enjoy support from
each other.
Mayor Sam
Listening to our communities
There’s a lot of change in the provision of water at the moment and I talk more about Three Waters inside
this newsletter. The Government has also introduced a tougher new law about drinking water which means
all councils across New Zealand must chlorinate all drinking water supplies by 15 November 2022 – unless
the supply receives an exemption. We are applying for exemptions for supplies that we believe are safe to
remain chlorine free. This is in line with the strong feedback we have received from our communities, telling
us that you want to keep chlorine out of our drinking water. The final decision isn’t ours, but I wanted to give
you a heads up about this important matter on the horizon. For more information on what this means for
Selwyn see our Council website at selwyn.govt.nz/water-chlorination.

Awesome
projects
Last month I was delighted to see the completion
of two more major projects. The first was the
opening of the Toka Hapāi Selwyn Health Hub,
which brings an improved birthing unit and
specialist radiology services into the heart of
our district. The second was the opening of the
hockey and football artificial turfs in Foster Park
next to the Selwyn Sports Centre. These represent
the latest in a significant range of major initiatives
completed in the last three years designed to
improve the wellbeing of Selwyn Waikirikiri. Te
Ara Ātea is the awesome new cultural space,
cafe and library which sits at the centre of the
developing Rolleston Town Centre. The eightcourt
Selwyn Sports Centre is already packed
with people of all ages enjoying sport and keeping
active. Our Selwyn Aquatic Centre’s extension
has enabled many more people to enjoy the water
and increased our capacity to provide swimming
lessons for young and old. It’s good to look back
and celebrate where we have come from as we
make the most of these new facilities. I am also
focused on continuing to look towards the future
and plan well, with our population quickly heading
towards 100,000.
Building
communities
In the last residents survey 92% said that “Selwyn
is a great place to live”. That is the key reason why
so many whānau and businesses are choosing
to relocate to Selwyn. I’m keen to develop
opportunities for our communities that support
business growth, develop cultural understanding
and help get people of all ages into education,
training or employment. This month we ran an
event to help young women explore employment
opportunities in the construction industry. We
also saw the graduation of a group of amazing
entrepreneurs hoping to bring their business ideas
to life. The twelve budding business owners were
on a Council course to learn the skills they need to
kick start their dreams into reality. Their businesses
ranged from a decluttering consultancy, a Mexican
restaurant and a turf management company. As
our district grows, it’s important that we invest
in our people as well as our infrastructure. The
Council runs a range of courses helping give
people a leg up. If you want to do more or have
an idea you want to get off the ground jump on
our website at selwyn.govt.nz and search for
‘Community Capacity Building’.

Three Waters – not right for Selwyn
There has been a lot of misinformation about what
our Council thinks about Three Waters and I think
it is important to clear that up. I do not believe that
the Government’s current reform package is right
for our Selwyn communities.
Change for water infrastructure across
New Zealand is required and has been planned
for over 20 years. Here in Selwyn we already
meter our supplies, charge by volume, take a
multi-barrier approach to drinking water safety.
All our wastewater services are fully consented
and discharge to land rather than into rivers or the
ocean. We have some of the newest and best
water infrastructure in New Zealand as well as
the cheapest drinking water. The picture across
New Zealand however is very different. So much
of the work of the Three Waters plan will be to
bring other places up to the standards we already
meet. Some places have not had wastewater
treatment consents for over a decade and some
councils can’t borrow any more money to fix their
problems. For them this change is necessary.
I also acknowledge that we are not perfect, we
have too many boil water notices and we are
working hard to address that.
Our Council will formally submit these points to the
Government’s select committee in the process to
improve their proposals and I encourage you to do
the same, whether for or against the changes. I will
be highlighting the loss of local voice, protection
for consumers, the speed of change and the
fairness of the lack of reward to councils who are
performing well, amongst other points.

News in Brief
Changes at Kirwee Reserve
A new playground, cricket nets and other upgrades are being
installed at the Kirwee Reserve as the next stage in the reserve
upgrade, which started last year. Construction of the replacement
playground has also begun.
YOU COULD be
on council
From mid-September until noon 8 October
you will have the chance to vote for the new
Council you want to represent you for the
next three years. I will be standing and I’d
like to encourage you to think about putting
your name forward to join the Council. As a
Councillor you will be at the heart of deciding
which projects we should take forward, how
they should be funded and how we cooperate
with neighbouring councils. You don’t need
to have any special training, experience or
qualifications just a love for Selwyn and the
ability to make informed decisions. Anyone
over the age of 18 can stand for election as
long as they are a New Zealand citizen and
enrolled on the Selwyn electoral roll.
It’s important that our Council reflects our
population. I’m currently the youngest person
on the Council aged 40 while half of Selwyn’s
population is under 35. Our Council is made
up of great people who instead of sitting on
the sidelines have stepped up to contribute
to the often challenging yet very rewarding
leadership role. Why not have a look at our
website at selwyn.govt.nz/elections which
has all the details about standing.

important historic building for Southbridge and the district.
Selwyn’s water charge
For the second year running, Selwyn had the cheapest volumetric
water charge in Aotearoa in 2020/21 and among the lowest
overall charges for drinking water according to the latest Water
New Zealand National Performance Report.
CORDE awarded
CORDE, our Council owned civil contractor won the CCNZ
Canterbury Environmental Award for the second year in a row
for its work on the Wanaka Lakefront Development in competition

Marketing your property –
what does it mean?
Marketing a property is more than presentation and advertising.
Conceptually, marketing is identifying
what prospective buyers are looking for
then providing this. For example, larger
homes and sections may appeal more
to families. Young couples starting out,
generally have tight budgets leading
them to smaller properties, while older
people may be looking to downsize.
Brand new has a particular appeal
however there will always be a market for
established homes. Having a picture in
your mind of the type of buyer will help
in determining the features to emphasise.
If repairs and maintenance need to be
carried out before putting the property
on the market, seek the advice of a real
estate agent. They can advise on what
tasks are worth completing and what
might be unnecessary expense.
Installing a new kitchen or changing
the carpet may lift the house but will
the expense be recouped in the sale
price? On the other hand, modernising
an outdated kitchen or bathroom could
make a huge difference to the look of
the place. Avoid going overboard unless
the capital value of properties in the area
justifies this.
Real estate agents are in contact with
prospective buyers so aware of what they
are looking for. Draw on their expertise
and advice to help make the most of the
selling opportunity.
Establishing a relevant and fair price
for a property is important. Most
agents calculate this based on the price
properties in the area have sold for, and
what a particular property has to offer.
A unique or exceptional property may
justify a higher price, though run-down
properties can gain more than they
appear to merit. This might be due to the
area or other factors that suggest a good
investment.
When promoting a property, mix it up
and be creative so your property stands
out from the rest. TradeMe is a must;
checked by most people looking to buy.
Present the features the property offers as
benefits to potential buyers.
Erect a sign outside the property.
People stop and look at photographs and
this might spark sufficient interest for
them to visit an open home. Spending
a fortune on massive advertising
campaigns in every media might seem a
way to attract potential buyers but may
be an unnecessary expense without the
return. A better philosophy could be a
little often. This will depend on the value
of the property, your budget and how
best to reach target buyers.
Buyer perception is also significant.
For example, properties that sit for a
while can become stale. Resting the
property by taking it off the market for
a short time, then relisting perhaps in
spring or when sales in the area appear
to lift a little, can make a difference.
However, if a property does not sell
immediately there is no need for panic or
dropping the price. It may simply be that
the right buyer has not yet come along. If
the mix is right your property will sell.

Snuggle down
When it comes to home heating, ‘bang
for your buck’ is essential and part of
this is ensuring your home is adequately
insulated. Did you know that a 2% gap
in insulation can result in a 20% heat
loss? This can make a huge difference to
the comfort of your home.
Insulation works by slowing heat
loss from your home, enclosing it in a
thermal envelope. This is why around
40% of heat is lost through the ceiling in
the average uninsulated home.
In addition to insulation, simple
measures, such as using thermal
curtains and sealing gaps and cracks,
will eliminate draughts and prevent
warm air escaping where it shouldn’t.
It also pays to remember that heating
a room to a moderate constant
temperature is much more efficient than
a fluctuating heat.
Designed to not only be practical and
functional but to enhance the décor
of your home, there is a home-heating
option for every home, and everyone.
GAS FIRES
Providing fast, convenient and
easily regulated heat, gas can bring
a moderate-size room to a warm,
comfortable temperature in about 10-15
minutes. Glass-fronted gas fireplaces
are significantly more efficient than
open-fronted ones, and as gas fires
are cleaner than wood-burning fires
they are favoured in clean-air areas,
making this a popular heating option in
Christchurch.
Like other heating options, most
modern gas fires have a timer facility.
HEAT PUMPS
Heat pumps come in a variety of
options: high-wall, floor consoles,
slimline, quiet ... the list goes on,
ensuring there is a design, size and
placement to suit your needs.
Be smart about your energy use and
ensure you have the right size heat pump
for your space. If you pick one that is
too small, it will have to work hard all
the time, and will use more power than
necessary. A unit that is the right size
should heat your space in 5-15 minutes.
DUCTED AIR CONDITIONING
Ducted air conditioning systems work
exactly the same way as a high-wall heat
pump, in that there is an indoor unit
and an outdoor unit, and by passing a
refrigerant between them they transfer
heat (or cooling) into a room.
Unlike the high-wall system, where
the indoor unit is visible, the ducted
indoor unit is hidden away in the ceiling
space and uses flexible ducts to pass the
heat from room to room through vents
in the ceiling, wall or floor.
CENTRAL HEATING
Growing in popularity in New Zealand,
warm-water central heating is the
even distribution of heat throughout
the home from a central point or heat
source. Warm water is distributed via a
network of pipes connected to radiators
in each room, or looped under the floor
for underfloor heating. Releasing a gentle
heat, no water is actually consumed,
ensuring this is the ultimate in efficiency.
HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEM
Home heating isn’t just about keeping
the house warm; it’s also about
maintaining a healthy home. In the
summer months we are able to throw
open the windows to air the house, an
option not available in cooler weather,
meaning condensation is often an
unhealthy side effect of winter. The
installation of an effective heat-recovery
or ventilation system can help solve
this problem, thereby working towards
creating a warmer, drier and, above all,
healthier living environment.
WOOD BURNERS
When used properly, wood burners
are a great and economical option,
especially if you have access to free or
cheap firewood. You do, however, need
to ensure your fire is clean-air approved,
especially in Canterbury. When buying
a wood fire, consider efficiency rating,
clean burn, emission levels and size.
PELLET BURNERS
Pellet fires have come a long way in
recent years and most are now available
as free-standing or inbuilt, offering a
wider variety when it comes to selecting
the right look for your space.
There are many benefits to a pellet
burner as they offer all the warmth and
luxury of a flame without the hassle of
cutting, carrying and storing firewood.
Made from sawmill waste, the pellets are
carbon-neutral and burn cleanly.
One of the biggest limitations is the
initial cost, with the price of buying and
installing a pellet burner greater than
that of a conventional wood burner. The
burner also relies on electricity so won’t
work during a power cut.

Your guide to all things Real Estate
in the Selwyn District
Create a ‘thermal envelope’ in your
home – check out your options
Everybody loves a cosy warm home
in winter, so if you’re wrapped up in
layers, you may realise your home could
be warmer. Using effective insulation
in your house is like using a blanket or
putting on your coat, beanie, gloves and
socks!
Windows, ceiling, floor and walls all
form a ‘thermal envelope’, the barrier
between the heat and the outside climate.
Better thermal resistance is achieved with
effective insulation with a high R-value.
Your home can be insulated using glass
fibre, wool, mineral wool, polyester,
polystyrene, paper-based insulation or
foam spray. Usually, installation occurs
during the construction of a new home;
however, retrofitting insulation may be
done on existing homes.
Glass fibre, one of New Zealand’s
most well-known insulation materials,
is made from recycled glass and comes
in a roll to cover the ceiling joists or
cut into segments to fit between timber
framing in your wall or ceiling. With a
long-life span, it is resistant to pests and
non-combustible. Installing glass fibre
can be a DIY project, using adequate
safety precautions, if you can handle
the itch! Some downlights are suitable
for covering, but others require a gap to
prevent a fire.
Wool is loose insulation mostly
made from recycled waste wool. This
sustainable, eco-friendly, cost-effective
product decomposes naturally over time.
However, it is combustible in a fire and
does not dry as effectively as fibre.
Mineral wool insulation is similar
to glass fibre but made from natural
materials instead of glass. It also doesn’t
absorb water, is fire resistant, denser and
heavier than fibreglass, and will settle
over time.
Polyester or blends with wool are
non-itchy and come in rolls or segments
to fit between framing timbers. Polyester
insulation (without wool) is made from
45 per cent recycled plastic and is strong
and long-lasting. It is non-flammable and
non-dusty but more expensive than glass
wool.
Polystyrene can be manufactured
in rigid foam sheets of expanded
polystyrene to insulate floors, walls
and ceilings. The sheets need to fit
tight against joists to ensure maximum
insulation. Polystyrene doesn’t rot,
and disposal can be an issue; it is also
flammable.
Paper-based insulation is the cheapest
product made from macerated paper
(recycled newsprint) with a fire retardant
added. Blown into ceilings, it may blow
around or settle over time and get dusty.
It will rot if it gets wet, and rats and other
nest-builders will love this to insulate
their homes in your ceiling!
Spray foam insulation is polyurethane
foam invented by NASA. Specialists
apply the foam to surfaces with a spray
gun creating an air and moisture barrier
when it expands and hardens. It also
won’t sag or settle over time and can be
retrofitted in existing homes.
With the range of insulation materials
available, keeping your home warm and
dry can be easily achieved.
