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 />

<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 />

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 />

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 />

venue awaits<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 />

Made up of two rooms; a hall and a<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 />

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 />

Why microchip your cat?<br />
Cats are notorious for wandering. If<br />
your cat has become lost after moving<br />
to a new house, separated from you<br />
after a disaster, or hit by a car, being<br />
microchipped is the easiest way to<br />
reunite you with your favourite furry<br />
friend. Microchipping also helps people<br />
become responsible pet owners too.<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 />
HRNZ. I am not aware<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 />
complainant (is concerned)<br />

the police to offer any<br />
assistance needed.”<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 />

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 />
