Smooth water ahead for Paul’s passion
• By Tony Simons
THREE YEARS ago, Paul
Clearwater, then 66-yearsold,
retired cabinet-maker, of
Prebbleton, did something he’d
never done before. He started
building a six-metre boat, on his
property.
It was no ordinary boat.
The plans were for a hull that
came with a warning, using
techniques any inexperienced
boat builder should have
thought twice about. That didn’t
deter Clearwater and, on Friday,
it was officially launched at
Lyttelton with friends around to
congratulate him.

SECURITY cameras are
one of the more useful
investigative tools police
have.
On page 3 today we report
on the much needed breakthrough
thanks to CCTV
footage police appear to have
in catching fire bugs plaguing
the Rolleston area.
CCTV cameras are everywhere
from being mounted
on private homes, business
premises, and council buildings
to being strategically
placed in lesser obvious locations.
Catching a fire bug early is
very important.
While the fires in Rolleston
have been relatively small in
nature and confined to scrub,

Strong leads in bid to catch arsonists
• By Tina Grumball
SECURITY CAMERA footage
has given police a major
breakthrough in their bid to
catch Rolleston arsonists.
Sergeant Richard Van Asch
said footage showed a number of
people leaving the scene of one of
the 10 vegetation fires set in the
past two months.
“We are following strong lines
of inquiry as to some of the
people involved,” he told the
Selwyn Times.
He would not say how many
people or what age they were.
Three more vegetation fires
were lit last week, Rolleston
volunteer fire brigade deputy
chief Graham Peterson said.
They were at Stonebrook
playground, near the Rolleston
Scout Den and beside Three Trees
Learning Centre, next to Foster
Park, he said.
Two fires were reasonably
small but the third by Three Trees
Learning Centre was lit in long
grass.
“It was dealt with reasonably
quickly but it could have had a
lot more consequences. It backs
onto houses and things like that
once again. It doesn’t take long,
especially with things drying out
to change things.”
Peterson urged anyone who

saw something suspicious to
phone the police or 111.
“The quicker we find out about
it, the better,” Peterson said.
Van Asch said it was possible
there was more CCTV footage in
the community which showed the
arsonists.
If that was the case police
needed to see that footage.
Members of the public
could phone 105 or access the
service online to provide the
information.

chief Cam Kenyon said there
were no reports of fires over the

Vehicle
thefts in
district
detailed
• By Tina Grumball
NEWLY-RELEASED police
data shows 22 cars were stolen in
September across the district.
In the information obtained
by Selwyn Times, the thefts are
categorised by police station areas.
For the Darfield police station,
one vehicle was stolen and not
recovered. For the Lincoln station,
11 vehicles were stolen and only
four recovered. For the Rolleston
station, 10 vehicles were stolen
and eight recovered.
There were no reports of stolen
vehicles for the Arthur’s Pass or
Leeston police stations.
Police also said two offenders
aged 17 and under were charged
with theft of a motor vehicle and
illegal use of a motor vehicle
across those police stations.
Police could not answer what
model of car was most commonly
stolen.
• From page 1
“The hull is kind of like
clinker-built in reverse,” he said.
It’s supposed to allow the boat to
travel more easily through the
water, “kind of like hydroplaning.
The challenge of building
it was something I could not
resist”.
The craft is built completely
of wood, using timber milled
from his own property where
he has lived since he was 12
years old. It also showcases
wood from all around the
world, and no plywood. “The
variety of wood I’ve used is
what makes the boat so special,”
Clearwater said.
“After retiring, I wasn’t simply
going to sit inside the house all
day, so I took on the challenge.
A few hours a day with plenty of
time in between to think about
how I was going to tackle the
next part,” he said.
The project cost him the tips
of two fingers in a workshop
accident, but he has no regrets.
It’s been a labour of love and
appropriately, he has named the
boat Passion.
For timber aficionados, the
streamlined hull is alaskan cedar
on a canadian oregan frame.
The decking is african iroko, a
greasy timber used a lot in boat
building.
“It’s poor man’s teak,”
Clearwater said.

Inside features cypress, also
grown in Prebbleton, the window

there are mahogany trimmings
all around.
To top it off, the boat’s wheel
is american walnut with sweet

Passion was launched without
a hitch with about dozen bystanders
applauding as he headed
off towards Governors Bay with
a couple of close mates on board
and, after he returned, he took
more friends out for five-minute
cruises.
Clearwater said he was never
worried.
“It’s been well-built and welltested,”
he said.
Clearwater built a dinghy
once, but never anything like

is concerned? No, this will be it,
he said.

Selwyn is fastest growing district;
population, economy booming
• By Susan Sandys
SELWYN’S population has
almost doubled in 10 years,
newly-released data shows.
The latest Stats NZ subnational
population estimates also
show the district continues to
be the fastest growing in the
country.
The district grew by 3600 new
residents to 79,300, as of June 30,
which was the largest total number
of new residents anywhere in
the country.
District
council chief
executive
David Ward
presented the
figures in his
report to a
meeting of the
district council
David Ward
last week.
“Selwyn is
benefiting from a combination
of great natural attractions,
good planning and a strong
community,” Ward said.
The figure of 79,300 would
likely now have topped over
80,000, he said.
“Just to put that into perspective,
when I arrived here in 2013,
it was 42,000, so it is getting close

to doubling in 10 years. And it’s
also the biggest proportional
population growth in the country,
at four-and-a-half per cent.”
In the surrounding council areas,
Waimakariri grew by 1300
people (1.9 per cent), Ashburton
by 200 (0.6 per cent), while
Christchurch city fell by 700
(-0.2 per cent).
Ward added the district’s
population growth was underpinned
by a continuing strong
economy. The most recent
figures from economic analysts
Infometrics had shown Selwyn’s
economy grew by 6.2 per cent
in the year to June against a national
average of 0.9 per cent.
“Selwyn’s economy was supported
by strong dairy payouts,
along with the ongoing housing
boom, strong consumer spending
and tourism bouncing
back from the impacts of the
pandemic.”

Increased
patrols to
combat
pooing dogs
• By Susan Sandys
POOPING pooches at
Darfield, and their owners,
are on the radar of the
district council’s animal control
team.
At last week’s district council
meeting, new councillor Lydia
Gliddon said it was a particular
problem at Darfield.
The district council’s
Dog Control Bylaw 2012
states owners are obliged to
immediately pick up after their
dogs.
“How can we enforce that
a bit more? Because there’s
nothing worse than scraping
it off your kids’ shoes,” Gliddon
told the district council’s
animal control team, which was
presenting its annual report on
dogs.
Team leader Steve Clarke said
the district council had a notolerance
policy for the offence,
but the problem generally was
finding the perpetrator.
“What we will do, if there
are areas which are known
problems, we will increase
patrols, so I’m happy to do
that out in Darfield,” Clarke
said.

Further technical information sought
• From page 1
The notice of motion called
for the district council to pause
temporary chlorination.
District council chief
executive David Ward said
decommissioning then
recommissioning chlorination
equipment on the temporarily
chlorinated schemes would
involve disposing of chlorine
out of the system, allowing for
flushing and ongoing calibration.
“It’s not simply a task of
rocking up and turning off a
switch,” Ward said.
Group manager infrastructure
and property Murray Washington
said the cost would be about
$250,000.
Councillors voted six to four to
leave the notice of motion on the
table until their next meeting on
December 14, so they could have
a technical report from staff in
front of them. The report would
have information about the bacterial
contamination risks of each
supply, and the legislative responsibility
of the district council.
In opening discussion on the
notice of motion, Miller said he
had become aware, via media and
personal contact with Waimakariri
and Christchurch councils,
of an alternative approach from
Taumata Arowai. This approach
enabled a pathway of working
with the community rather than
strict enforcement.
• Readers wade into the chlorination issue. Letters, page 8
Miller said Selwyn had high
water quality going back decades.
Incidents had included E.
Coli incursion at Darfield and
Springston supplies, which had
been identified and remedied in
good time.
However, Bayfield said district
council staff had already professionally
advised councillors on
the contamination risks, following
which councillors had made
an earlier call to temporarily
chlorinate.
Christchurch was in fact
already chlorinating about 80
per cent of its supplies, while
Waimakariri had had the ability
to chlorinate in case of an emergency
for some time.
“If you are looking out of the
three approaches of the councils
in the immediate neighbourhood,
then yours is the most
secure and yours is the most
certain,” Bayfield said.
Chlorination is deemed
temporary on 18 of the district’s
supplies, as they have not
previously had permanent
chlorination introduced and
chlorination will be able to
cease in future if an exemption
application is
successful. The
district council
has so far applied
for exemptions
on two of these
supplies, and
Taumata Arowai
Bill Bayfield
expects to give
an answer for
the first, Rakaia Huts, within the
next three weeks.
“To turn chlorine off before
those exemptions are sorted out,
you have to look closely at your
reasons for doing that, because
if you do not have the advice of
officers to make that decision,
then you are making what seems
to be a political decision. If there’s
another problem like Darfield, or
god forbid like Havelock North,
then that will place your council
in a very difficult position,”
Bayfield said.
In 2016, the death of four
Havelock North residents was
connected to contaminated
water.
Deputy Mayor Malcolm Lyall
said he did not want chlorine in
his drinking water, which was
some of the best in the country.
However, he could not leave staff
and contractors at risk of being
liable for unsafe water.

Chlorination triggers health concerns
Readers respond to
the chlorination issue
One of the main reasons I moved
from central Christchurch to
Rolleston was to have nonchlorinated
water.
We can’t afford a filtration
system, and do our best to buy
bottled water, but we still have to
shower. I understand there are
reasons for water chlorination,
but there has to be another solution.
I may be in the minority of
people who have to deal with
actual physical issues due to the
chlorine, but many people hate
the smell and taste. It dries out
skin, it tastes awful, it smells like
a swimming pool.
It may be an inexpensive solution,
but I don’t think it’s the best
solution. There has to be something
else that doesn’t impact
people so much.
My biggest hope is that it gets
reversed, because it’s significantly
impacted what I have to
deal with health-wise, and it’s
unfair that there’s no choice in
the matter. – Shannon Smith
We would rather not have
chlorination in our Rolleston
water.
We noticed in a glass of water
yesterday especially, the taste
was very strong.
We, my husband and myself,
are pensioners and we would
love to be able to put in a
water filter, but are unable to do
this. – Rae and Bruce Sowerby
I am opposed to the
chlorination requirements for
Rolleston.
The smell in the water was
awful on the first few days of
usage; what effect is it having by
entering our skin each time we
shower?
Also, I have heard chlorination
“corrodes” the copper in hot water
cylinders. If that is the case,
is the district council prepared
to “pick up the tab” for all those
cylinder replacements in the
future? – Doug Frazer
I can’t understand why they
are putting chlorine I the water
when chlorine is a poison.
Darfield has a deep water well
and if the water is not testing
clean, sort out why and fix the
problem by stopping fertiliser
use and not putting a Band-Aid
over the problem by using chlorine
– Phill Paul
I am totally opposed to
chlorination of our water in
Lincoln.
I used to enjoy a glass of
water from the tap but now we
can not only taste the foul stuff
but smell it too. Even in the
shower.
I now cannot drink fresh,
beautiful cold water like I used
to. Please add my name to the list
of objectors. – Lesley Geayley
We used to have beautiful
gravel filtered water that chlorine
has destroyed. – Roger Atkinson
As a couple of retirees living
in Preston Downs, West Melton,
we object strongly to the water
being chlorinated. – George and
Yvonne Clark
I am opposed to this dreadful
chlorination.
We have been in Lincoln three
years and have loved the fresh,
clean drinking water. – Judith
Hann
Chlorine, like fluorine/
fluoride, iodine and bromine are
all part of the halogen groups of
elements.
Of all those elements only
iodine is fit for the human body
but was removed for two reasons
(even though while in the NZ
Army it was iodine tablets we
used to treat water).
A relative of mine had a bad
reaction to chlorine after the
earthquakes. – Ken Duncan,
Rolleston.
I am a user of a continuous
positive airway pressure machine
that I have to use every night
for sleep apnea. It has a water
chamber that needs to be cleaned
and filled on a daily basis. Before
chlorination was introduced my
apnea hypopnea index readings
were low. My CPAP machine
now smells of chlorine and my
AHI readings are high.
I use filtered water from the
fridge or I can buy bottled water
which means more plastic into
our environmental waste.
It is important that I have low
AHI readings as the readings
are sent to a sleep centre and
could be sent to Waka Kotahi
New Zealand Transport Agency,
which is not good because it can
revoke my driver licence. I am a
truck driver.
I hope that chlorine is taken
out of our water supply asap. –
Lindsay Coleman
I would like to also express my
disappointment in the council’s
decision to chlorinate Rolleston’s
drinking water.
My family are suffering from
skin disorders as a result and as
an expat from South Africa it really
is disappointing that a “first
world” country follows the same
cheap and nasty disinfection
methods.
Hopefully the opposition to
chlorination is strong enough to
push the council to consider less
vile methods of disinfection. –

TE ARA ĀTEA DEBATE
Words ‘cultural centre and library’ suggested
District councillor
Sophie McInnes joins the
lively reader debate over
whether the word library
should be added to the
title of Te Ara Atea in
Rolleston
I read with particular interest –
as a Rolleston resident and as a
district councillor – the “debate”
about Te Ara Ātea.
Seated as I was in the cafe area
of that same building, with a
around 200 other people reading,
meeting, working, playing,
programming, and more on
both floors, it was clear a good
chunk of the population does
know what lies within, and that
it’s more than just a library for
Rolleston; the district’s only
council-operated museum and
art gallery, for instance.
My personal thought is that
if a plain language description
is hindering people’s use of this
fantastic facility, district councillors
should consider adding a
suitable tagline, Rolleston library
alone is not the answer though.
This this was already debated
back in 2019 after Jens Christensen
made a public plea at a
council meeting asking that the
facility not be called “Rolleston
Library and Community Centre”
on the grounds of it being confusing
and misleading.
And so we have the name Te
Ara Ātea only, because no alternatives
have been suggested that
would not themselves be confusing
or misleading in some way.
Lastly Rolleston Residents Association
is, as one correspondent
stated, a small group of 10-15
regulars. It would be wonderful
to see more people attending,
given the size of our township
and its diversity in both age and
ethnicity. There is no better time
than now.
Moneel Pratap, who many will
remember from the recent local
elections, is the new chair and
the current secretary/treasurer is
moving north for work soon. –
Sophie McInnes
Jens Christensen responds:
Interesting what Cr McInnes
claims. She has what I would
describe as selective memory
syndrome.
What I argued with the district
council by way of public forum
was for the district council to
drop the words community centre
from the description of the
building, as library/community
centre, because I said the word
community centre was false in
that it was conjuring up visions
in people’s minds that thy were
getting a new grandiose community
centre perhaps to replace
what they already had.
To reinforce my argument, I
obtained the floor plans of the
new building and studied the
room sizes and uses and tailored
my address to district council in
a form that they could understand.
The largest rooms that appeared
to have multi-use I converted
to double garage-sized dimensions
and from memory the
largest was two or three double
garages – 108 sq m – there were
no kitchen facilities suitable for a
community centre and no rooms
large enough to house a meeting
of the Rolleston Probus group, so
not a community centre.
The district council must have
agreed as they voted, I believe, to
drop the words community centre
from the name of the building
but not the word library.
I have had a suggestion from
another resident that the addition
of cultural centre could be
added to the word library, and
this may well describe the functions
other than that of a library.
I used the expression “silly” in
describing the Maori name for
Rolleston library or Te Ara Ātea.
I feel I need to defend myself
against those who implied I was
being racist. Had the building
been called “The way to the
World” or “Foundation”, I would
have described these names
as meaningless (in hindsight a
better word than silly). These,
however, are what Google
informs me are the meanings
of the words “Te Ara Atea” and
“Turanga” (Christchurch library)
respectively.
Those who wish to promote
the Maori language in this way
are not doing themselves any
favours.
Choosing a Maori term that
is meaningless and inconsistent
across New Zealand; not
providing the usual English term
alongside it (I’m sorry, Mayor
Sam Broughton, it’s a library),
is obviously going to cause a
backlash.
Accusing those critics of racism
may well be good sport but
it is unjustified and does nothing
to promote the Maori language.
– Philip Baumbach
Did anyone else notice that
although the district council staff
seem adamant that the facility
is not a library, on the Council
Call page, to find details of the
celebration of the first year of
Te Ara Ātea you have to visit
selwynlibraries.co.nz – Neil
Mugford
In response to the discussion
regarding the Rolleston library,
calling people ignorant and racist,
when their opinions differ
from their own, is simplistic and
shows an inability to articulate a
sensible argument.
Thinking people can see this
district council is blindly following
the Labour Party’s push
for co-government, which, in its
current form is divisive and onesided.
The general populace has
had little input into the workings
of this idea and quite properly
can see some problems ahead
by going down this road.
There are better ways for
councils and governments to be
inclusive and fair than the
dictatorial attitude new being
employed.The blanket instructions
from the Government to
chlorinate all water is a case in
point. Aunty knows best or does
she? – Les Wade

Silly signs . . . and
a tricky tree
4 MARCH 2023 LINCOLN
Wednesday November 30 2022 Selwyn Times
TICKETS
ON SALE
selwynsounds.co.nz
• By Barry Clarke
SELWYN TIMES readers
have often lamented at the
signage on one of the main
routes from Lincoln to
Halswell.
Now they say a temporary
speed sign which was
put up on Trices Rd near
the bend with Sabys last
week takes the cake.
Motorists heading from
Sabys onto Trices towards
Lincoln and Prebbleton
would have seen a 30km/h
sign as maintenance work
was carried out. But the
other side of the sign,
which was for motorists
heading on Trices towards
Sabys read 80.
A 30km/h temporary
sign was also put up on
Ellesmere Rd close to the
tricky Trices Rd bend,
meaning motorists travelling
in that direction were
first confronted with a
temporary 30 sign, then
the permanent 35km/h
sign on the bend, then the
confusing 80 sign, followed
by the permanent 60km/h
sign and then the permanent
25 sign at the Trices,
Sabys bend – all within
about 250m of each other.
The confusing 80 sign
was removed the day after
it was put up.
“Traffic management?
More like traffic mis-management,”
said one reader.
“No different to further
back on Ellesmere by
Tosswill Rd.’’
Near that junction, motorists
travelling towards
Halswell on Ellesmere Rd
have a 45km/h sign warning
of a bend at Tosswill
Rd, followed shortly after
by an 80 sign, and then
the 45 warning sign on the
bend itself.
“So we have a 45 sign
then an 80 and then just
after that its 45 again at
the bend. Crazy,” said the
reader.
Meanwhile, readers also
say it is about time a tree
(below) at the intersection of
busy Gerald and Robert St
in Lincoln got a decent trim.
The tree is starting
to sprawl outwards, its
branches and leafage making
getting a clear line of
sight of traffic heading east
on Gerald St tricky.
“There’s an accident
waiting to happen,” said a
reader.
Above – The temporary 80km/h sign and the permanent 60 and 25
signage on Trices Rd near Sabys, and below the 45 followed by the 80 with
another 45km/h sign further along Ellesmere Rd. PHOTOS: BARRY CLARKE

The Courtenay A&P Show made a return to its full glory this year, only
to have heavy rain arrive and literally dampen proceedings. Held on
Saturday the weekend before last, the 147th show saw many turn out
regardless, happy to be back after organisers were forced by Covid
restrictions to hold a scaled-down event last year.
Wet weather gear was the order of the day for
six-year-old Ferguson and Richard Westaway.

Birthday fun for all
at Te Ara Ātea
Plan your summer!
Jam-packed events guide out now.
Pick up a copy from any Council facility
or view it online:
selwyn.govt.nz/events
Live music, story times, art and craft making, technology fun and treasure hunting
will all be part of the celebrations at Te Ara Ātea on Sunday to mark a busy
first year.
The multi-use community facility on Tennyson Street, Rolleston will be buzzing
with a collection of its most popular events from the year for its first birthday party.
Events will run from 10am–4pm Sunday 4 December, starting with a sprinkle of
magic in a fairy storytime, followed by the ever-popular NanoGirl bringing her
exciting science and technology show at 11.30am. There will also be face painting,
live music, technology, and the chance to make a woven pendant or try
block printing.
Throughout the day a scavenger hunt will be running exploring the heritage items
in the building, and during the morning there will also be sensory tables available
and an art activity creating a Selwyn landscape.
It will be a great day to reflect on and celebrate the success of the past 12 months
Te Ara Ātea Co-Leader Mat Logan says.
“It’s been a really busy year, with the place so full of people and so much
happening. It will be nice to be replaying some of the hits, with things for
everyone whether you enjoy listening to a story, making art, technology, science
experiments, chilling with some live music, learning about our heritage, picking up
a book, some food from the café or getting your face painted.”
In the past year there have been more than 164,000 visits to the building, over 900
workshops and programmes, and over 310,546 items checked out from the
library collection.
In the past week Te Ara Ātea won a 2022 New Zealand Architecture Award for
Interior Architecture, to go with the Canterbury Architecture Award it won during
the year and the 2022 Creative New Zealand Award for Cultural Wellbeing at the
Local Government New Zealand (LGNZ) Excellence Awards.

Annual report on district’s dog control
services now available
More than 16,400 dogs were registered in Selwyn last financial year, according to
Selwyn District Council’s latest dog control report.
The Council adopted the Dog Control Policy and Procedures Report 2021/2022
(Section 10A Report) at its meeting on 23 November, and residents can now view the
report on the Council website.
It shows once again Selwyn residents have been great at registering their dog, with
the hard work of the animal control team seeing all 16,441 known dogs registered for
the 2021/2022 financial year. The Council has already registered 98% of dogs for the
2022/23 financial year.
It shows 87 per cent of the 60 dogs taken to the pound during the year were able to
be returned home, while five were
successfully rehomed.
Animal control officers responded to 1,234
complaints about dogs in the community, with the
majority of these being for wandering or found dogs
(837) and barking (230).
As part of its activities, the Council provided a free
monthly microchipping service, and delivered Dog
Smart education programmes in five schools and
groups throughout the year. COVID-19 impacted the
number of schools being able to participate.
Under the Dog Control Act 1996, Council is required
to report on its dog control activities for the year.
To view the full report, visit selwyn.govt.nz/dogs.
New sign unveiled at historic Lincoln
railway bridge
A piece of Lincoln’s rail history was acknowledged in the town this month, at
the unveiling of a new history sign.
Representatives from the Selwyn District Council and Lincoln and Districts
Historical Society gathered at the nearly 150-year-old Lincoln Railway Bridge
on 22 November as the sign was installed.
The bridge was built in 1874 as part of the Christchurch to Southbridge
branch railway line. The railway dramatically changed Lincoln as it grew to
become an important railway junction.
Road improvements, increased car ownership and the dropping of road freight
charges in the 1960s saw the Southbridge branch line close, and eventually
the Lincoln railway station closed in 1966.
Black and white photographs of the Lincoln railway station, a timetable from
1927 and a Christchurch to Lincoln train ticket are included on the sign, along
with a timeline and history of the railway.
The project was a collaboration between Lincoln and Districts Historical
Society, NZ Railway & Locomotive Society, and Selwyn District Council.

Time to step up and save lives this summer
It’s time to step up for summer.
It’s that time of year again, the season of parties, work do’s, beach days and barbecues where we
break out the drinks. We all know what to do, or what not to do, we have all heard the different tag
lines over the years:
• If you drink and drive, you’re a bloody idiot.
• Stop a mate from driving drunk,
bloody legend.
• Sorry, that’s a fail.
And yet our family and friends are still
crashing and being killed on Selwyn
roads due to impaired driving.
There is no excuse for driving under
the influence of alcohol or drugs. It’s
time to step up and save lives. Driving
impaired simply isn’t worth the risk, to
life, to family, to friends, to work.
Plan ahead and sort out how you, your family and your friends are going to get home safely. There
are plenty of options available, if you take some time to sort your safe ride home before you
head out.
Stay alert to your family and friends’ intoxication levels - if they look like driving, be brave, save
their lives or potentially the lives of others, get them to use another option to get home. It can be
hard to step up and question others, but what’s a little discomfort if it saves a life?
Think about the risks, don’t do it, and stop others from doing it. Get home safe this summer.

Transport company owner smoked
cannabis while on long haul delivery
• By Emily Moorhouse
THE OWNER of a transport
company had meth in his system
and smoked two cannabis joints
at the wheel of his faulty and
unauthorised truck during a
long-haul journey.
On Friday, Benjamin Mikkelson
appeared in Christchurch
District Court for sentencing on
11 charges in relation to his drug
use and standard of vehicles.
At the hearing, Mikkelson, the
owner of That Transport Company,
made an unsuccessful bid
to keep his licence so he could
continue working.
According to the summary of
facts, Mikkelson was driving a
Nissan Condor truck from Dunedin
to Invercargill on November
11 last year, fully laden with
building materials for a client.
On his way, the 34-year-old
was stopped by the Commercial
Vehicle Safety Team that
discovered his truck not only had
an expired certificate of fitness
but that the transport service
licence displayed did not belong
to the truck or the company.
This is a requirement for a
truck with a gross vehicle mass
of more than six tonnes.
After further inspection of
Benjamin Mikkelson admitted to smoking two cannabis
joints while driving from Christchurch to Dunedin.
the vehicle, the team found a
number of faults including a
worn tyre, missing mirror, the
front bumper being insecure and
a broken tail light.
The team issued a non-operation
order on the vehicle which
prohibited Mikkelson from driving
it until repairs were carried
out and a certificate of fitness
obtained as well as a transport
service licence.
Mikkelson was also issued
with a notice forbidding him to
operate an unlicensed transport
service and was ordered to hand
over his logbook to police –
which contained no entries for
that day’s work.
During his interaction with
police, officers noticed the driver’s
unusual behaviour. He then
admitted to smoking two joints
while driving from Christchurch
to Dunedin.
A compulsory impairment
test was carried out which Mikkelson
failed and a blood test
returned positive results for
methamphetamine and cannabis.
As a result, he was forbidden
to drive for 12 hours, starting at
10.30am that day.
However, only six hours later
Mikkelson got back into his
truck – without completing any
repairs or obtaining the required
licences – and completed the
drive to Invercargill.
He had also attempted to hide
the non-operation order sticker
attached to the front windscreen.
Mikkelson arrived in Invercargill
around 7pm and delivered
his load to an unknown destination.
Three hours later, parked on
a street in Invercargill, he was
located by police who found a
bong and 21 grams of cannabis
in the truck.
In further offending, Mikkelson
was pulled over by a CVST
officer on August 17 this year
after he was seen on his phone
while driving a Hino truck in
Waipara. Again, he was without
an up-to-date certificate of fitness
or registration.
Mikkelson also did not have a
logbook, which was required as
he was driving a truck of more
than 6000kg and travelling beyond
50km of his base.
Additionally, he had a road
user licence displayed on the
windscreen showing a maximum
reading of 20,000km but
the hubodometer fitted to his
truck read 44,088km.
In court, defence lawyer Jaiden
Manera argued against a disqualification
period, submitting
such a sentence would impact
Mikkelson’s business.
But Judge Quentin Hix considered
this concerning, stating the
offending was not minor.
He said it had been elevated
by drug use and Mikkelson’s
failure to adhere to the vehicle
orders.
The judge then sentenced
him to six months’ community
detention and 12 months of
intensive supervision.
A six-month disqualification
on all licences was imposed and
an 18-month disqualification on
class two to five vehicles.
Mikkelson was also ordered to
pay $778 reparation for the drug
tests.

Lincoln HS student cooks
his way to prestigious award
AN ASPIRING young
cook from Lincoln High
School has earned a
prestigious award.
Adam Baker was among
three students who have
scooped the Prime Minister’s
Vocational Excellence
Award.
The award was launched
in 2019 to celebrate the top
high school students enrolled
in vocational study
with a $2000 prize.
Along with Shirley
Boys’ High School’s Zane
Roberts and Hillmorton
High School’s Tyler
Spatcher-Harrison, Baker
has juggled school this
year along with two days a
week completing cookery
level three at Ara-Te
Pūkenga’s department of
hospitality, business and
service industries.
“I’m glad I did the
course. If you aren’t sure
what you want to do
there’s no harm in doing
it and I was keen for the
credits,” he said.
Baker is planning on
spending his money either
on a set of knives or his
further education ahead
at Ara.

said the award is a wonderful
bonus for these
students who have gone
above and beyond.
“They’re my high
achievers. They’ve worked
hard out of class to practice
and do extra competitions.
Anything that
was available to do – they
pushed themselves.
“I still can’t believe we
had three in one class
though.”
Most of her 2022 class
are planning on returning
to Ara, which Watson
said demonstrates how the
supportive approach to
learning gives students a

firm pathway to staying in
education.
And because the level
three course is managed
through school, there is
impact on their fees – free

Watson said it is rewarding
helping these students
find where their future
lies.
“They get a lot out
of their experience as
they seek work. Instead
of having to be shown
everything they’ve already
got skills – they know
about clean workspaces
and food safety, so it gives
them a head start.”

Mike Bowie is an ecologist who specialises in entomology
(insects and other invertebrates). Each week he introduces a new
species found in his backyard at Lincoln. His column aims to

Caddisflies important
to fish and anglers
CADDISFLIES or
Trichoptera are well known
to people who like to go
fly fishing as they are an
integral part of fish diet,
and artificial flies are often
used to simulate these
common insects.
Over 250 species are
known in New Zealand
and aquatic experts suggest
there could be another 50
species yet to be described.
Adult caddisflies range in
length from micro-caddis
a few millimetres long to
those measuring up to
20mm.
A few of these larger species
were recently attracted
to our window by light and
were identified as Triplectides
cephalotes, a large
stick caddis.
Their common name
derives from the larvae that

Larvae are considered

ranging from urban
to forest-covered areas.

The tolerance scale
ranges from 10 (sensitive

PETS & PAWS
Quality food locally
sourced and delivered
Natural, high quality, raw pet foods
for cats and dogs are available locally
at Burnham-based company Big
Mountain Naturally.
This company prides themselves on
using the best ingredients including
rabbit, wallaby, hare, venison, goat,
chicken, possum, goat and also beef.
They do not use preservatives or
chemicals in the manufacture of their
pet food.
Big Mountain Naturally also has a
great sign written van and delivers
throughout the Selwyn District and
Christchurch, Ashburton and Timaru
areas. For residential customers,
delivery is free for purchases over $65.
The company has operated in Burnham for the
past eight years and prior to this, processed rabbit
for the North American market from their Tekapo
location.
It was there that owner Robert (Bob) Thomson was
convinced by a major retailer in Auckland to supply the
New Zealand market with quality raw pet food, as it was
hard to find consistent supply for retail shops, due to the
demand from the export market.
Bob and his team had been processing rabbit, hares, and
wallabies for the New Zealand market
for both premium quality pet food and human
consumption. Only recently has Big Mountain Naturally
stopped producing human consumption meats as
compliance costs soared.
Big Mountain Naturally is an MPI registered facility and
all meat is traced from its source through to production
using a risk management programme run by the Ministry
of Primary Industries.
This provides traceability from harvest to sales which
rules out any chance of poisons getting into the food
chain. The factory has 21 different lines of compliance
making it a very comprehensive programme.
Big Mountain Naturally products are available from
several major petfood retailers or can be purchased
direct from their facility at 540 Burnham
School Road, Burnham. They also
have a web page for online sales.

GARDENING 33
Prepare pot plants for your holiday
WHETHER YOU’RE going
away for a summer holiday or
staying at home, the prospect of
watering the garden – container
plants in particular – can present
challenges.
The easy answer would be to
just put all container plants into
the garden and be done with the
fussing.
However, there’s no denying
that a few well-chosen container
plants bring a decorative flourish
to bland deserts of paving and
deck.
They are invaluable, too, for
standing like bouncers beside
entrances or enhancing the end of
some clever vista you have carved
out of your plot.
However, as plant accommodation,
rather than providing
a luxury getaway, pots and
containers are more like a prison
sentence, with water and food
limited and excess sun and wind
in exposed locations.
This means you need to be
cunning with your compost and a
wizard with your choice of green
matter.
Why is it that weeds can abseil
their way into a pot and look
so healthy while the plant you
intended to shine on its glazed
pedestal looks anaemic and
spindly? It’s because most of us
are unrealistic about the level of
maintenance we will need to lavish
on our charges.
It’s tempting to go for muti-coloured
pot plants but such highoctane
performance demands
the pampering of a movie star –
weekly deadheading and feeding
and almost daily watering,
so it’s really only for the keenest
enthusiast.
Spring bulbs are another classic
disaster area – irresistible when
we see the pictures at the garden
centre but a disaster a fortnight
after the party is over when we
fail to follow up after the leaves
and flowers at the start of the year
have flopped and faded.
Stick them in plastic containers
before sinking them inside a
classy bit of earthenware.
Later, out they go to make
way for a more permanent
successor. It is a mistake to
assume special new plants
somehow deserve a prime spot
in a container right outside the
ranchsliders.
Plant them in the ground where
they will get their roots down and
draw deep for summer moisture
instead. And if you want to see
them, go out to the garden and
look.
If your soil is heavy, spend
some effort planting them
on mounds and improve soil
structure with plenty of grit and
compost.
The most successful pot plants
are tried and tested toughies that
will survive on neglect.
Essentials include succulents,
flaxes, native xeronema and
epiphytic plants, which are used
to hanging out like a shoestring.
Epiphytes include spiky astelias as
well as other native foliage plants
such as Griselinia lucida and
pseudopanax – both of which are
amazingly drought-tolerant.
Don’t mingle too many specimens
in one confined space
because fights are bound to break
out. Instead, give each its own
home but herd pots together to
create communities of contrasting
forms and textures.
As with your wardrobe there
will always be the classics that
never go out of fashion and which
form the backbone of your collection.
Succulents are foolproof.
Choose the dramatic ones such
as aloes and softer euphorbias
or those which are able to bungy
over the sides of even the tallest
of drums.
Bromeliads never outgrow their
place in a pot if sited sensitively.
Never underestimate the class
of one substantial foliage star.
Even something as simple as a
large agapanthus in sun or a clivia
or specimen fern in shade will be
dependable staples which, like a
little black dress, always earn their
place on the rail.
Get the best out of container
plants by providing ideal conditions.
Always choose a good quality
compost for containers. Soil or
loam-based products retain water
and nutrients better.
Top pots up with a slow release
fertiliser every year, especially if
you never supplement with the
occasional liquid feed.
Water-retaining gels are
effective when repotting plants
but don’t rely on them alone. A
good old-fashioned saucer to
catch water under a pot and a
thick mulch at the top are just as
useful.
If you are away in summer,
shunt the containers into a
sheltered shady corner.

topping, David kept running over old car
bodies; from there, his fascination began
with car building. Collecting parts and
with a give-it-a-go attitude, he thought, “I
wonder if I could make a car?”
Over ten years, David’s car building has
been successful, and twice he’s won the
Whangamata Beach Hop. However, due to
certification red tape, he now only builds rat
rods and hot rods part-time as a hobby and
to help out friends. His current scratch-built
car is named BellaRat, after his daughter.

Keep safe; get your tyre
alignment checked
Dodging potholes in our roads is
another issue facing drivers. Not only
are the holes annoying, but they are
likely causing damage to your vehicle.
Therefore, aligning your tyres and
ensuring your suspension system works
correctly is essential for assisting your
four tyres to stay continuously and
constantly in contact with the road
surface. If you notice uneven tyre wear,
steering pull, or an off-centre steering
wheel, it’s time to see KATS Rolleston.
With their mechanical workshop, they
can provide full mechanical repairs and a
range of services, including balancing and
alignments, suspension lifts and lowering,
and warrants of fitness.
Aligning your tyres will maximise the
life you get from your tyres but also give
you the best fuel economy, proper road
contact, and a smooth ride. The process
will adjust the angles of your vehicle’s
wheels so that the tyres are centred in the
wheel wells and are pointing straight, and
your tyres meet the road at the proper
angle. A correct alignment will improve
handling, decrease instability and steering
problems, especially when braking and
reduce suspension and parts wear.
Your suspension system is one of the
main systems ensuring your vehicle
is safe to travel in. Suspension issues

can severely impact your handling,
braking, steering and tyres. With an
effective suspension system, you’ll
experience shorter stopping distances,
less steering vibration, a smoother and
more comfortable ride with less body
roll, safer support for a vehicle under
load and longer tyre life. There are many
components in your suspension system,

Skoda SUV packs powerful punch
THERE OFTEN comes a point
in time when you know the mode
of transport you have isn’t fit for
purpose.
That happened to my wife and
I just recently as our old sedan
made way for a sport utility vehicle.
The latter providing us with the
entry and egress comfort we need
as our hips give way to old age,
notwithstanding modern engines
are far more fuel efficient than our
car that was designed over 20 years
ago.
Of course, being the petrolhead
I am, I would have liked to
have purchased something with
a bit more punch from under the
bonnet, but in terms of cost I had
to be realistic about that.
Had funds been available, we
may well have purchased a Skoda
Kodiaq – the RS version. It has
all of the comfort ingredients we
were looking for in an SUV, but
under the bonnet sits the 2-litre
turbocharged engine that has
found its way through a raft of
Skoda, Seat, Cupra and Volkswagen
product, notably the VW Golf GTi.
The Kodaiq RS isn’t quite as
gutsy as Volkswagen’s Tiguan R,
but it does have much the same
engine, albeit with lower power
outputs. Saying that, at 180kW and
370Nm the Kodiaq RS does have
48kW and 50Nm greater than the
2-litre TSi version I evaluated in
these columns in August.
The Kodiaq RS also benefits
from a recent facelift amongst the
six-variant series, it also gets a high
fitment package that extends to
satellite navigation, paddle-shifters,
panoramic sunroof, keyless
entry and ignition, electric seat
adjustment, seat heaters and a host
of other minor features.
Skoda’s marketing slogan is
‘simply clever,’ and over the years
I’ve mentioned many times the little
niceties that make the brand stand
out from others. In the Kodaiq RS
it was the plastic wheel trims that
sit inside the actual alloy wheel
itself, they can be removed to give
the vehicle a completely different
look. It’s the first time I’ve seen that
arrangement and, yes, it is clever.
Those features don’t come at
a huge cost; sure, at $79,990 the
range-topping RS will stretch some
buyers’ budgets, but the entire
Kodiaq range is there to lure buyers
who want quality product at an
affordable price. The entry level
model lists at $48,990, while those
in the medium grades sit in the
$60,000 bracket.
Of course, all models have the
benefit of space, that is the way
it is with the modern SUV, and
the Kodiaq RS is no exception,
there’s even seven seats, although
the two rear seats that fold up out
of the cargo section are really just
for children or those very slight of
build.
CLEVER: The plastic wheel inserts can be removed to offer
a different look.
SKODA KODIAQ RS: High performance from Volkswagen Golf GTi engine.
As with all VW Group models
the Kodiaq RS is quality-built
and comfortable, there is space to
spread out in, and the remaining
seats are beautifully formed so that
fatigue on a long journey is kept to
a minimum.
I took the test car on a long
inland journey through to the
Malvern Hills and it felt just so
balanced and controlled on that
journey, the hills and bends were
simply swallowed up with ease.
A lot of that has to do with the
way the suspension has been set up.
Of course, drive is sent to all four
wheels which means there’s a fully
independent system underneath.
The spring and damper rates
are firmed slightly, but there is
compliance within that so occupant
comfort isn’t jeopardised.
It’s important to have balance
underneath when you have healthy
power outputs up front. The 2-litre
turbocharged engine is a feisty
unit and, as I’ve alluded to, it’s an
engine that has found its way into
hundreds of thousands of vehicles.
I’ve never found a car that hasn’t
thrilled me when fitted with the
GTi engine, and in the Kodaiq RS it
is another exciting product.
In terms of performance it will
accelerate to 100km/h from a
standstill in 6.6sec and will make
a highway overtake in 4.6sec
• Price – Skoda Kodiaq RS,
$79,990
• Dimensions – Length,
4699mm; width,
2087mm; height, 1685mm
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,
four-wheel-drive,
1984cc, 180kW, 370Nm,
seven-speed direct shift
automatic
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 6.6sec
• Fuel usage – 8.3l/100km
(80-120km/h). On my journey I
passed several slower vehicles and
delighted in the mid-range boost
on tap.
Drive is distributed through a
direct shift gearbox with seven
distinct ratios, by the sheer nature
of its design it is a quick-changing
gearbox that doesn’t put any
unnecessary load on the engine.
That being the case, all of the
horsepower can be utilised for
speed and acceleration when
required. Not only is the engine
a real dynamo, it is one of the
most pleasing in today’s market,
thrilling with its potential and
sound, the automatic downshift
blip reminiscent of a race car on
track.
All that it offers doesn’t come
at the cost of massive fuel usage,
Skoda rates the Kodiaq RS with an
8.3-litre per 100km/h combined
cycle average. During my long
journey the instantaneous figure
sat around 6l/100km at 100km/h
(engine speed 1750rpm) resulting
in a 9l/100km combined figure
when I took the car back to the
dealership.
I particularly enjoyed my time
with the Kodiaq RS, it’s a feisty,
fun SUV that offers a point of
difference in this age where
hybrids and electric vehicles are
commanding that part of the
market.
The Kodiaq RS stands up to
be counted with its honesty and
driveability, it has that fun factor
and serious capability both on-road
and off, although undulating offroad
excursions would be the best
bet. It’s not a serious cross-country
model, but it will take the family
into the high country lakes for that
summer fishing trip and/or the
winter ski field access road with
much ease.
Coincidentally, I dropped
the Kodiaq back and picked up
the VW Tiguan R two days later.
Both have incredible performance,
it’s just whether you want the
maximum this engine will deliver
or not.

A DARFIELD farmer has
spoken of watching a man leap into
the flooded Hawkins River to try and
save himself after a helicopter winch
rescue operation failed.
Rod May had taken his tractor to
the scene on Greendale Rd, to try and
reach the middle-aged man who had
been clinging to the branches of a tree
in the rising waters on Sunday night.
The man had driven into the
flooded river, escaped from his car
and called emergency services from
his cellphone which he managed to
keep with him.
Ultimately, a second helicopter
winch operation plucked the man
to safety after he was swept downstream.
It was a happy ending to the
ordeal which had lasted more than
three hours. The rescue was among
several in Canterbury on Sunday in
flooded rivers.
May said he and his family had just
had dinner when a neighbour alerted
them. Arriving about 8.50pm, he saw
the floodwaters were too high for the
tractor, however, he used its lights for
i luminating the site where the man
was. • Turn to page 5

• By Ba ry Clarke
A BAR patron who won $1200
on the pokies may have been
targeted by thieves moments after
she co lected the money.
A group of men who were in
the bar a the same time are the
focus of police inquiries. It is
believed they watched her being
paid, and then quickly swooped.
The incident happened at The
Famous Grouse Hotel in Lincoln
two weeks ago.
After she was paid out a the
bar, the men who had been
si ting nearby went over and
congratulated her. While she was
distracted the money disappeared
from her handbag. She only
realised it was gone after she left
the hotel.
Police have taken CCTV
security camera footage from the
hotel which shows the men going
over to the woman and mobbing
her in a congratulatory way. The
footage also captures a hand from
one of the men going towards the
Police say they may have
identified one of the group but
aren’t saying anymore about
the incident. The Selwyn Times
understands the men are from
the Amberley area.

can choose the size

• Offer professional design services
- businesses can work with a designer to get
the design and style they want at no extra cost
• Provide affordability - generally costs
less than television, radio, and direct mail
advertising and can be designed to suit
any budget
• Reach more readers - newspapers sit around
from week to week and readers are more likely
to come back to a newspaper to find and save
information
• Capture more attention - newspaper readers
spend a longer period of time reading a
newspaper whereas research indicates, “the
average attention span of an Internet user is
eight seconds”
• Offer integrated services - such as online

SPRING IS a time when it’s
desirable to be working is the
garden.
However, there are hidden
dangers and one of those is
developing legionnaires’ disease.
Here are some guidelines to
avoid that happening
•Minimise the amount of dust
present when working in the
garden.
• Water gardens and indoor
plants using a gentle spray.
• Read the warning label on
bagged composts or po ting mix.
• Wear gloves.
• Wear a mask so that any dust
is filtered out before you can
breathe it in.
• Dampen po ting mixes before
• Open bags of soil products
slowly, away from the face.
• Make sure the working area
(for example, the gla shouse or
po ting shed) is we l ventilated.
• See a doctor if you develop a
flu-like i lne s that seems to be
worsening.
• Wash hands thoroughly
after gardening or handling soil
products.
These are simple, easy and
natural steps that a l gardeners
can take to reduce risk while
continuing to enjoy their garden.

Rolleston 2/652 Springston Rolleston Road
Calling all builders, developers and land bankers!
Here is a wonderful opportunity to secure a 12619m2 of prime land, perfectly located within the heart of Rolleston.
This land is already zoned Residential, meaning the options here are aplenty. The 1990s built, 240m2 5 bedroom brick
home features good sized open plan living areas with an updated kitchen. The living areas flow nicely to an outdoor
patio area, which provides a wonderful space for enjoying summer evenings with family or entertaining friends. The
master bedroom is a good size and is complete with an ensuite and walk in robe. The 4 additional bedrooms are all
doubles with robes. A comfortable home that provides purchasers options to either incorporate this home into a
future development, utilise the home as either a rental or owner occupy if looking at this as a landbank opportunity, or
simply remove and utilise the entire block as a blank canvas for development. For those looking at this as a land
banking opportunity, the land itself is well set up into two paddocks and there are shedding options on the property.
This really is a mini-lifestyle property in the middle of town! There are substantial developments going on within the
immediate vicinity of this property and it is no secret that Rolleston continues to grow in popularity and in-fill
developments such as this are going to become harder and harder to find.
