LINCOLN PLAYS HOST<br />

It was a festive affair in Lincoln on Saturday<br />

as roads were closed and Christmas took<br />

over. Residents turned out en masse for<br />

the annual Christmas Parade and Market. It<br />

featured all manner of decorated modes of<br />

transport and floats, not to mention Santa<br />

Claus himself. •More photos, pages 4 & 5<br />

Legal<br />

concerns if<br />

council<br />

removes<br />

chlorine<br />

from water<br />

• By Susan Sandys<br />

DISTRICT COUNCIL staff are<br />

warning of the legal consequences<br />

of ceasing chlorination as<br />

councillors prepare to vote on the<br />

controversial issue today.<br />

Staff want to pursue chlorination<br />

temporarily until the water<br />

authority Taumata Arowai grants<br />

exemptions on a supply-by-supply<br />

basis.<br />

It comes as the district council’s<br />

first exemption application has<br />

failed, with Taumata Arowai’s<br />

exemption team recommending<br />

the application for Rakaia Huts be<br />

declined.<br />

District council<br />

chief executive<br />

David Ward and<br />

group manager<br />

infrastructure<br />

and property<br />

Murray Washington<br />

have laid<br />

out the law in information<br />

before David Ward<br />

councillors for<br />

their meeting today, explaining<br />

the Water Services Act imposes a<br />

duty on employees and contractors<br />

of councils to ensure safe<br />

drinking water.<br />

Boon.<br />

The affable Dunsandel<br />

That service was honoured<br />

last week when Boon was<br />

awarded life membership of<br />

A fitting accolade for a<br />

man who is the current<br />

Most recent flyover design to go ahead<br />

• By Susan Sandys<br />

NZ TRANSPORT Agency<br />

Waka Kotahi has confirmed its<br />

recommended flyover design<br />

for the $125 million Rolleston<br />

improvements project.<br />

The roading authority has also<br />

given more details, such as plans<br />

for a bicycle underpass and a<br />

train station.<br />

In a summary of 756 pieces of<br />

feedback from a second round of<br />

engagement released last week,<br />

Waka Kotahi indicates it will<br />

move ahead with its most recent<br />

Rolleston 1<strong>14</strong>m-long straight<br />

flyover design, between Rolleston<br />

Drive North and Jones Rd, rather<br />

than the 166m-long skewed<br />

option it initially suggested prior<br />

to round one of consultation last<br />

year.<br />

“Overall, people were<br />

generally more supportive of<br />

the recommended plan since<br />

changes were made following<br />

consultation last year,” an agency<br />

spokesperson said.<br />

Waka Kotahi was investigating<br />

improvements at the planned<br />

two-lane Dunns Crossing Rd/<br />

Walkers Rd roundabout, such<br />

as a cycle underpass connecting<br />

with the future district council<br />

project of a Burnham to<br />

Rolleston cycleway.<br />

“In the meantime, land for a<br />

cycle underpass and connection<br />

FLYOVER: An artist’s impression of the planned Rolleston overbridge, and the site (below).<br />

will be protected.”<br />

The spokesperson added there<br />

was space for a potential train<br />

station on the corner of Jones Rd<br />

and Hoskyns Rd, and a possible<br />

park and ride area, alongside<br />

new planned retail developments<br />

in that area.<br />

On Kidman St, district<br />

council-owned land had already<br />

been preserved for potential park<br />

and ride expansion, adjacent to<br />

an improved bus stop.<br />

“To encourage more people<br />

into buses instead of one-person<br />

car commutes to Christchurch,<br />

Kidman St buses will get ‘the<br />

jump’ ahead of traffic at the flyover<br />

traffic signals.”<br />

Each leg of the two-lane<br />

Dunns Crossing Rd/Walkers Rd<br />

roundabout would have a central<br />

MEARES WILLIAMS<br />

LAWYERS<br />

island refuge so pedestrians<br />

could cross the road in stages.<br />

In response to feedback from<br />

residents wanting more highway<br />

access, the spokesperson said<br />

these would compromise safety<br />

at intersections and reduce travel<br />

efficiency.<br />

“We have consulted with<br />

emergency services who are<br />

satisfied the recommended plan<br />

provides an improved level of<br />

highway access and connection,”<br />

the spokesperson said.<br />

A northbound off-ramp from<br />

the flyover to the highway was<br />

considered and ruled out, mainly<br />

because traffic signals would be<br />

needed on the flyover for rightturning<br />

traffic.<br />

The new roundabout would<br />

provide the main southern<br />

access to both sides of Rolleston,<br />

the same as the Rolleston<br />

Interchange at Weedons Rd<br />

provided from the north. A new<br />

off-ramp from a southbound<br />

service road to Rolleston Drive<br />

North would connect to Jones<br />

Rd, via the flyover.<br />

“The main southern entrances<br />

to Rolleston will be clearly signposted<br />

to give people plenty of<br />

warning. Appropriate highway<br />

signage will guide traffic as well<br />

as ‘wayfinding’ signs on surrounding<br />

local roads.”<br />

To prevent head-on crashes,<br />

flexible barriers would be installed<br />

in the middle of the highway<br />

from the southern end of the<br />

motorway to the roundabout.<br />

The spokespersons said Waka<br />

Kotahi was working with the<br />

district council to ensure the<br />

safety of pupils at West Rolleston<br />

Primary School on Dunns<br />

Crossing Rd. The district council<br />

planned to reduce the speed<br />

limit, build shared-use paths<br />

and signalise the intersection<br />

of Dunns Crossing Rd and<br />

Burnham School Rd.<br />

DISTRICT councillors will be<br />

paid $54,453 per annum, up<br />

from $44,039 last local body<br />

term, while Deputy Mayor<br />

Malcolm Lyall will receive<br />

$65,344, up from $52,842 last<br />

term.<br />

The councillors have confirmed<br />

an equal split of the<br />

pool of funds from the Remuneration<br />

Authority between<br />

councillors, with the higher<br />

rate for the deputy mayor to<br />

reflect the increased responsibilities<br />

of that role.<br />

It follows Mayor Sam<br />

Broughton having his annual<br />

salary bumped up to $<strong>14</strong>6,861,<br />

from the $138,411 he received<br />

last term.<br />

The Remuneration Authority<br />

sets the pay for elected<br />

members in New Zealand each<br />

year. For councils, it does this<br />

by providing each council with<br />

a pool of funds to divide up<br />

between members as it suits<br />

each council’s situation.<br />

In Brief<br />

LINT CATCHES FIRE AT<br />

THE FAMOUS GROUSE<br />

A small laundry fire at The<br />

Famous Grouse Hotel gave<br />

guests a rude awakening at<br />

about 2am Sunday. A full<br />

evacuation took place after<br />

excess lint caused the fire.<br />

Lincoln volunteer fire brigade<br />

chief Richie Bee said the fire<br />

was “the size of my hand” and<br />

was dealt with “very quick.” Bee<br />

encouraged the public to “check<br />

dryers and look for an excess<br />

build up of lint.”<br />

CALL TO CHECK WEATHER<br />

BEFORE LIGHTING FIRES<br />

A vegetation fire has spurred<br />

firefighters to once again ask<br />

the public to check the weather<br />

before lighting controlled<br />

fires. Hororata Volunteer Fire<br />

Brigade chief Bruce Sayer said<br />

members were called to a fire at<br />

about 1am Friday near Rakaia<br />

Gorge, Windwhistle. “It was a<br />

controlled burn, but had flared<br />

up in the nor’west wind,” he<br />

said. Sayer noted people make<br />

the same mistakes repeatedly.<br />

“People tend to burn their hedge<br />

clippings behind the hedge<br />

to keep it ‘out (of) the wind,’<br />

but when the wind direction<br />

changes, the hedges catch fire.”<br />

The brigade also saw people<br />

lighting fires without checking<br />

The pool of funds and<br />

remuneration figures<br />

take into account the size<br />

of the governance role and<br />

average time required by<br />

an elected member on a<br />

council of that size, and a<br />

general comparison with<br />

parliamentary salaries.<br />

The district council has just<br />

10 councillors this local body<br />

term, after a representation<br />

review reduced the number<br />

from 11.<br />

the long-term weather forecast,<br />

and flames reignite as wind<br />

gusts picked up. Sayer advised<br />

people to check the wind even<br />

three or four days ahead and<br />

double-check their fires are<br />

extinguished, even if they think<br />

they are. The fire followed one<br />

in Doyleston on Wednesday<br />

at about 3.30pm. Leeston<br />

Volunteer Fire Brigade members<br />

responded to the blaze along<br />

about 300m of grass on a farm.<br />

Chief Matt Walker said it took<br />

about two hours to extinguish<br />

the blaze, which had started<br />

from a rubbish fire that got<br />

away in the wind. Meanwhile,<br />

no vegetation fires have been<br />

reported in Rolleston over the<br />

past two weeks. To date, there<br />

have been 10 around the area<br />

since October 26.<br />

MINOR INJURIES AFTER<br />

CRASH<br />

Lincoln firefighters are<br />

reminding drivers to look both<br />

ways after a collision between a<br />

car and a truck at a three-way<br />

intersection. The two vehicles<br />

crashed at the intersection of<br />

Waterholes Rd, Robinsons Rd<br />

and Larcombs Rd on <strong>December</strong><br />

1. Lincoln volunteer fire brigade<br />

chief Richie Bee said they did<br />

not have to cut anyone out of<br />

the vehicles, but attended to one<br />

person with minor injuries until<br />

an ambulance arrived. They were<br />

“extremely lucky,” he said. A St<br />

John spokesperson confirmed an<br />

ambulance and rapid response<br />

unit attended. Two patients were<br />

assessed by the ambulance crew<br />

and one person was taken to<br />

Christchurch Hospital.<br />

breaching this duty. Councillors<br />

acting without expert advice (to<br />

force cessation of chlorination) are<br />

placing staff and council’s contractors<br />

in a very difficult, exposed<br />

legal position should anything go<br />

wrong,” Washington said.<br />

Staff prepared the information<br />

for today’s meeting as councillors<br />

resolved to make a decision, following<br />

at their last meeting councillors<br />

Grant McMillan and Sophie McInnes<br />

seeking cessation of temporary<br />

chlorination, which has been rolled<br />

out over the last three months.<br />

Washington said the district<br />

council now needed to address issues<br />

the Taumata Arowai exemption<br />

team had identified with the Rakaia<br />

Huts supply, “which staff believe<br />

will be the benchmark for future<br />

exemption applications.”<br />

While the exemption team found<br />

the huts’ drinking water supply<br />

was well operated and drew from<br />

good quality source water, the area<br />

was served by domestic wastewater<br />

systems which meant there was a<br />

risk of human pathogenic viruses,<br />

bacteria, and protozoa getting into<br />

groundwater. This contamination<br />

risk was exacerbated by water loss<br />

in the supply’s distribution system.<br />

There was an additional risk from<br />

the faecal matter of roosting birds<br />

landing on the supply’s storage tanks.<br />

Battle over Te Ara Ātea and<br />

word ‘library’ goes to council<br />

• By Susan Sandys<br />

ROLLESTON Residents<br />

Association members are taking<br />

their battle to have the word<br />

library included in the name Te<br />

Ara Ātea direct to councillors.<br />

Today the association chair<br />

Moneel Pratap and vice chair<br />

Jens Christensen will speak in<br />

the public forum segment of<br />

the district council’s fortnightly<br />

1pm meeting.<br />

They will ask the district<br />

council to add the word library<br />

to all signage for the one-yearold<br />

$22.7 million Te Ara Ātea<br />

building on Tennyson St.<br />

They believe just having the<br />

name Te Ara Ātea on its own<br />

is confusing to newcomers, a<br />

stance they have received both<br />

support and criticism for in<br />

dozens of letters to the <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

<strong>Times</strong>.<br />

The approach to councillors<br />

comes following staff earlier this<br />

year declining the association’s<br />

request.<br />

Te Ara Ātea is a library and<br />

multi-use community facility,<br />

which replaced the former<br />

Rolleston Library.<br />

Meaning “the unobstructed<br />

trail to the world and beyond,”<br />

the name was gifted to the<br />

community by Te Taumutu<br />

Rūnanga.<br />

One case of paratyphoid in district<br />

• By Susan Sandys<br />

THERE WAS one case of<br />

paratyphoid fever notified for<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> district in the week to<br />

November 25.<br />

Canterbury Medical Officer of<br />

Health, National Public Health<br />

Service, Te Whatu Ora Dr<br />

Cheryl Brunton said paratyphoid<br />

was not a common illness<br />

in New Zealand and most cases<br />

acquired the disease overseas<br />

through consuming contaminated<br />

water or food.<br />

For the five years to date,<br />

there had been a total of nine<br />

cases notified in Canterbury.<br />

The last case of paratyphoid<br />

fever in the region was notified<br />

in March, with only two cases<br />

reported in the year to date for<br />

the region.<br />

Paratyphoid fever was a<br />

similar illness to typhoid fever,<br />

but the clinical manifestations<br />

tended to be milder and the<br />

duration shorter.<br />

It often manifested as acute<br />

gastroenteritis.<br />

Three-month recovery<br />

from crash injury<br />

• By Susan Sandys<br />

A LEESTON woman sat injured<br />

in her crashed car, hidden<br />

from the road, until emergency<br />

services found her.<br />

Robyn, who wanted to go by<br />

only her first name, said she must<br />

have fallen asleep at the wheel,<br />

something she had never done<br />

before in her lifetime.<br />

Aged in her 60s, Robyn said she<br />

had been able to open the drivers’<br />

door after she crashed into a<br />

ditch with a low level of water in<br />

it, along Buckleys Rd, Doyleston.<br />

However, she could not climb out<br />

due to “excruciating” back pain.<br />

She said she saw a large tractor<br />

go past, but the driver did not see<br />

her due to long grass along the<br />

verge. She phoned her sister who<br />

lives nearby, who alerted emergency<br />

services after not being able<br />

to find the car herself.<br />

Robyn said when the crash<br />

happened, she had been returning<br />

from a pilates class at West<br />

Melton to pick up her husband<br />

from work, which was about<br />

three minutes away from the<br />

crash site. She said she had felt<br />

tired and the car was quite hot,<br />

but had not thought she was so<br />

tired she would have fallen asleep,<br />

but this must of been what had<br />

happened.<br />

Robyn said she had just listened<br />

to the 1pm news on the radio.<br />

Next thing she knew she was<br />

skidding along the verge on the<br />

other side of the road and unsuccessfully<br />

tried to turn the wheel<br />

to get back up on the road. She<br />

bounced down into the ditch,<br />

with the car straddling it and<br />

remaining upright.<br />

“My overwhelming feeling is<br />

gratitude that I didn’t hurt firstly<br />

anybody else because that must<br />

be the most awful thing to live<br />

with, but also myself that I didn’t<br />

end up with more severe injuries<br />

than I have,” Robyn said.<br />

She also thanked her rescuers,<br />

who had been “awesome”.<br />

Leeston Volunteer Fire Brigade<br />

members took her out of the car<br />

on a stretcher through the rear<br />

hatchback door, after ambulance<br />

personnel administered pain<br />

relief. Her injuries were compression<br />

fractures to her spine. She<br />

was in hospital for about one<br />

week following the crash, late<br />

last month. She is now mostly<br />

using crutches for walking, with a<br />

three-month recovery ahead.<br />

Brigade chief Matt Walker said<br />

Robyn had been on the phone to<br />

emergency services in the car as<br />

firefighters drove along the road<br />

and saw the car. It had been a<br />

routine extraction.<br />

“It’s something we train for,”<br />

he said.

10 <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> Wednesday <strong>December</strong> <strong>14</strong> <strong>2022</strong><br />

Legal Matters<br />

Change isn’t just coming, it’s here. There have been lots of<br />

legal developments updating the legal landscape this year!<br />

The 1<strong>14</strong>-year-old Incorporated Societies Act 1908 was replaced by the<br />

Incorporated Societies Act <strong>2022</strong> which came into effect on 5 April <strong>2022</strong>. The<br />

new Act is well overdue and should improve governance and effectiveness of<br />

clubs and other not-for-profit organisations. Similar to the Trusts Act 2019,<br />

the new Incorporated Societies Act collates the rules and principles applying<br />

to clubs and modernises the legislation. Until October 2023 the old and<br />

new Acts run in parallel. After October 2023 all existing clubs will have to<br />

re-register under the new Act and all new societies will have to be registered<br />

under that Act. It is also likely that all clubs will need to update their rules in<br />

order to be able to re-register. If any existing club fails to register under the<br />

new Act before 1 <strong>December</strong> 2025 it ceases to exist. This could cause serious<br />

repercussions for clubs that own assets, have entered into contracts, or hold<br />

bank accounts, and therefore something to discuss with us in 2023.<br />

We expect many are familiar with the Anti-Money Laundering and<br />

Countering Financing of Terrorism Act 2009 (“AML/CFT Act”). On 30 June<br />

<strong>2022</strong>, the Ministry of Justice concluded a review about how the AML/CFT Act<br />

has performed since 2017. It has shown that the national risk assessment<br />

is out of date, the regime is inadequately resourced, and the “one size fits<br />

all” approach isn’t as effective as it could be. The Ministry recently released<br />

a comprehensive review, making 215 recommendations for amendments to<br />

legislation, regulation and operational matters. Law firms have a mediumhigh<br />

inherent risk of AML/CFT, with real estate being a preferred asset for<br />

criminals to invest in the proceeds of crime. The importance of completing<br />

Customer Due Diligence (“CDD”) has been re-emphasized in the <strong>2022</strong><br />

application for leave to appeal the landmark case of Jiaxin Finance Ltd v R.<br />

In this case the Crown alleged Mr Gong, a businessman living in Canada,<br />

used New Zealand to launder proceeds from an illegal Chinese pyramid<br />

scheme. Jiaxin Finance Limited was fined 2.25 million dollars and therefore<br />

this case serves as a timely reminder keep on top of CDD and record-keeping<br />

procedures.<br />

Important amendments to The Fair Trading Act 1986 came into force on<br />

16 August <strong>2022</strong> following the introduction of the Fair Trading Amendment<br />

Act 2021 (“FTA”). The mid-<strong>2022</strong> changes sought to tackle unfair commercial<br />

practices by extending the current unfair contract terms regime to also apply<br />

to standard form small trade contracts and by introducing a prohibition<br />

against unconscionable conduct in trade. A timely reminder for small<br />

businesses to be aware of the impact of the terms in their contracts and to<br />

review them in 2023 to make sure they meet the new requirements.<br />

The Fair Pay Agreements Bill has been passed into law, with the new<br />

bargaining system to commence on 1 <strong>December</strong> <strong>2022</strong>. The Fair Pay<br />

Agreements system brings together employers and unions within an entire<br />

sector to bargain for minimum employment standards for all employees<br />

in that industry or occupation. The system includes support for bargaining<br />

parties to assist them in navigating the bargaining process and reaching an<br />

outcome, as well as processes to ensure compliance. This is arguably the<br />

most radical and significant development to our employment laws in over 20<br />

years. We encourage all employers to reflect on what impact the changes will<br />

have, whether now or in the future.<br />

Succession law in New Zealand was drafted many years ago and it’s<br />

no secret that it requires reform. On 15 <strong>December</strong> 2021 Parliament was<br />

presented with the Law Commission’s report entitled “Review of succession<br />

law: rights to a person’s property on death”. Amongst <strong>14</strong>0 recommendations,<br />

ultimately the report recommended that a new inheritance (Claims Against<br />

Estates) Act should be introduced as the principal source of law applying<br />

to entitlements and claims against an estate. While many may have hoped<br />

to see legal development on the topic this year, the only update is as<br />

follows: “Given the scope of the Law Commission’s recommendations, the<br />

complexity of these areas of law, and the engagement required with a<br />

broad range of stakeholders, the Ministry’s work to achieve these reforms<br />

will take a period of years and will need to be balanced against other<br />

Government priorities.” This means we are unlikely to see any significant<br />

legal development in the Succession and Estate Planning space this year.<br />

<strong>2022</strong> has been another year for legal development in the Resource<br />

Management space and it doesn’t look set to stop here. On top of new<br />

regulation and proposals in the highly productive soils and climate<br />

emissions spaces, the Government has now introduced two of the three<br />

new Acts set to replace the Resource Management Act 1991 (“RMA”). With<br />

the new Natural and Built Environment Act and Spatial Planning Act, the<br />

Government is promising a faster and easier way to manage our urban<br />

and rural environments. On 16 November <strong>2022</strong>, our Environment Minister,<br />

David Parker, commented the changes will free-up land and resources for<br />

additional housing, save developers, infrastructure providers and businesses<br />

hundreds of millions of dollars a year, and set limits to maintain current<br />

environmental levels and targets where degradation needs to be restored.<br />

The new Acts are not without their criticisms however, so we will be watching<br />

their progression through the House and Select Committee with interest.<br />

The changes are expected to take roughly 10 years to implement, so<br />

unfortunately not a quick fix to the RMA’s troubles.<br />

Finally, following on from the 2020 Southern Response Earthquake Services<br />

Limited v Dodds case, the Government has approved a payment package<br />

to eligible homeowners who cash settled an earthquake claim with AMI or<br />

Southern Response prior to 1 October 20<strong>14</strong> where an internal “Detailed<br />

Repair/Rebuild Analysis” was not provided to the homeowner. We have seen<br />

many claimants come forward and take advantage of their entitlements<br />

under this offer. Your ability to make a claim continues on in 2023 and<br />

we therefore encourage you to look into whether you might be one of the<br />

approximately 3000 eligible homeowners. We have a dedicated insurance<br />

team ready to assist, and with a fixed legal fee (only payable if you receive<br />

a payment from Southern Response), you have nothing to lose by checking<br />

your eligibility and potentially boosting your bank account in the new year.<br />

From the perspective of your local <strong>Selwyn</strong> TP team, we have had<br />

a fantastic year with the opening of our new Darfield office. We<br />

are actively involved in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Community on a personal and<br />

professional level with many of our staff living in <strong>Selwyn</strong> and our team<br />

often meeting clients in Rolleston, Darfield and Leeston. We invite you<br />

to take advantage of our office space available in these locations -<br />

book an appointment to see us in <strong>Selwyn</strong> in 2023.<br />

If you’re looking for a new lawyer, we encourage you to contact us for a<br />

free, no obligation consultation about how we might be able to assist.<br />

We genuinely thank all our clients for their continued support in <strong>2022</strong><br />

and looking forward to seeing you in <strong>Selwyn</strong> in 2023!<br />

Tavendale and Partners Lawyers<br />

TWO WEEKS ago (Wednesday,<br />

November 23) the <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong><br />

had a heading on page 20 saying<br />

‘Racial politics have intruded’<br />

because a large number<br />

of <strong>Selwyn</strong> residents want the<br />

word ‘library’ added to the<br />

library building in Rolleston,<br />

which is named Te Ara Ātea.<br />

There is absolutely nothing<br />

racist about wanting the word<br />

‘library’ added to this building<br />

with a name that means “The<br />

trails to the world – the pathway<br />

into space – the unobstructed<br />

trail”. It is a good name for a<br />

building, but the word library<br />

should be on it also. No one<br />

would connect Te Ara Ātea with<br />

a library.<br />

Mayor Broughton was elected<br />

Mayor by the people of <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

for the people of <strong>Selwyn</strong> – not<br />

for his own agenda. I feel he<br />

should listen to the majority who<br />

want the word ‘library’ on the<br />

building and not be pushing his<br />

own barrow. Broughton needs to<br />

think would he still be mayor<br />

if all of this had surfaced before<br />

the council elections.<br />

-John Harcourt<br />

It has been very interesting<br />

reading the letters in the <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

<strong>Times</strong> regarding the library<br />

signage and chlorination of the<br />

water.<br />

In the last few years I don’t<br />

think I have read so many<br />

letters on two subjects. It is very<br />

obvious from these letters that<br />

many people are incensed at<br />

what the <strong>Selwyn</strong> council has<br />

done. But is the council listening<br />

– no.<br />

The reply from the Mayor,<br />

regarding the Māori name for<br />

the library, “It has been gifted to<br />

us”.<br />

The chlorination is a debacle.<br />

The council did not need to<br />

action this until they had applied<br />

for exemptions and had the<br />

LETTERS 11<br />

Library, water debates<br />

results as Christchurch and<br />

Waimakariri are doing.<br />

What is the matter with<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> council – are they just<br />

puppets of the Government?<br />

Where is your backbone?<br />

-Margaret Holding, (abridged)<br />

Rolleston<br />

My name is Jeromy Gilbert<br />

and I am writing to you all as<br />

an Ashburton-born and current<br />

home owner/resident of Southbridge.<br />

Prior to moving here I<br />

4 MARCH 2023 LINCOLN<br />

lived in Napier, Hawkes<br />

Bay, from 2008-2019. I was<br />

present during the August<br />

2016 waterborne disease<br />

outbreak of gastroenteritis in<br />

Havelock North, where 5500 of<br />

the town’s residents became ill<br />

with campylobacteriosis, 45 were<br />

subsequently hospitalised, and<br />

there was a possible contribution<br />

to four deaths.<br />

From 1976 until 2008 I lived<br />

in Thailand, where I worked<br />

(among other things) as a potable<br />

water systems engineer in<br />

refugee camps in the Northern<br />

regions of ‘the Golden Triangle’,<br />

as well as the Cambodian and<br />

Burmese border areas.<br />

I have witnessed firsthand and<br />

been involved in mitigating the<br />

devastating effects that unclean<br />

water can have on a population.<br />

I have also personally drunk<br />

chlorinated water for the entire<br />

31 years I lived and worked in<br />

Thailand. I am now 68 years old<br />

and, as far as I can discern, have<br />

no side effects.<br />

Therefore backed by my long<br />

and extensive experience with<br />

potable water, I implore you<br />

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

to seriously reconsider your<br />

myopic, politically expedient<br />

bias and allow chlorination to<br />

go ahead unimpeded. Please<br />

don’t be swayed by “change<br />

resisters”.<br />

Gastroenteritis is a very<br />

serious issue and not to be<br />

gambled with. Yours is a public<br />

health and moral duty, not a<br />

popularity contest.<br />

STAFF AT Rolleston College<br />

ended a successful Movember<br />

fundraising effort on November<br />

30 with the first-ever student v<br />

staff T20 cricket match.<br />

Collectively, 19 staff were<br />

able to raise $3178, beating<br />

their target of $1000. Those<br />

who didn’t grow a moustache<br />

kept active by running or<br />

walking a total of 1985km for<br />

men’s mental health throughout<br />

the month.<br />

Mathematics learning area<br />

leader Maria Darroch was<br />

the standout for the staff fundraising<br />

team, raising $1015<br />

individually.<br />

Physical education teacher<br />

Cam Chalmers was the top<br />

‘mover’ out of the staff. He<br />

THE UPGRADED public<br />

toilets on Lincoln’s Kildare<br />

Tce have opened, albeit after a<br />

three-month delay.<br />

The former public facilities<br />

were demolished in August,<br />

and construction began on a<br />

new modern convenience, but<br />

the district council said supply<br />

chain issues caused the delay.<br />

connected up in mid-October,<br />

unfortunately at that point we<br />

had a delay on the arrival of a<br />

district council open spaces<br />

and facilities projects manager<br />

Cameron Warr said.<br />

The budget for the Liffey<br />

toilet replacement, in the<br />

council’s Long Term Plan, was<br />

$3<strong>14</strong>,700 plus GST.<br />

way to celebrate, although<br />

there were “a few sore bodies”.<br />

“The staff were pleased with<br />

the win over the students and<br />

now have their eyes set on our<br />

first XI who we will play at the<br />

start of next year.”<br />

New Lincoln public toilets ready to use<br />

The plan to upgrade the<br />

facilities comes from a report<br />

to the council in 2001 when<br />

the toilets adjacent to the Liffey<br />

Reserve were given a number<br />

‘two’ grade, with the council<br />

noting the units were in a state<br />

of “moderate failure” with issues<br />

including “a lack of lighting<br />

(natural light, internal and<br />

external), and a provision of<br />

basic amenities (soap dispensers<br />

and hand drying facilities).”<br />

JOIN THE RETIREMENT REVOLUTION<br />

“Fair value has been a hot topic around retirement<br />

communities recently. Capital gain is just one thing we’ve<br />

always offered unlike most retirement villages. It gives<br />

residents more flexibility and confidence that they still<br />

have some equity in their home if needed.”<br />

“ If you sell your home we<br />

believe you should get the<br />

benefit. That’s only fair.”<br />

ADAM YATES - CEO KARAKA PINES VILLAGES<br />

A REAL LIFE EXAMPLE OF HOW KARAKA PINES<br />

VILLAGES’ CAPITAL GAIN MODEL MEASURES UP<br />

AGAINST A STANDARD VILLAGE MODEL.<br />

David and Anne * bought at a Karaka Pines Village in 2012. In 2019<br />

David needed to move into a care facility. When they sold their home<br />

they had sufficient funds to buy a serviced apartment at the care facility for<br />

Anne, as well as leaving them enough to pay for David’s care.<br />

If they’d been living at a village operating under the standard model, they<br />

would have ended up with only half as much. Anne would not have been<br />

able to afford to move to be with David.<br />

at the group’s 25th jubilee.<br />

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

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

week he introduces a new species found in his<br />

backyard at Lincoln. His column aims to raise public<br />

awareness of biodiversity, the variety of living things<br />

around us. Check out the full list of invertebrates<br />

found at www.inaturalist.org/projects/backyardbiodiversity-bugs-in-my-lincoln-section<br />

Distinctive moth<br />

on the increase<br />

OVER THE last two years a<br />

new moth has just shown up<br />

in our Lincoln back yard, even<br />

though it was first described in<br />

1864.<br />

Francis Walker, an English<br />

entomologist, first described<br />

specimens collected in Nelson<br />

that are now known as<br />

Trachypepla conspicuella.<br />

These are a New Zealand<br />

endemic moth species that are<br />

observed between September<br />

and March on wall or fences, or<br />

in my case, attracted to an outside<br />

light.<br />

Moths are about 12mm long<br />

and darkish brown to grey in<br />

colour with a broad white band<br />

across the thorax and to a lesser<br />

degree across the wings.<br />

Tufts of scales are obvious<br />

behind the white band on the<br />

thorax. White markings are<br />

thought by some entomologists<br />

Wednesday <strong>December</strong> <strong>14</strong> <strong>2022</strong> <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong><br />

to resemble bird droppings,<br />

giving some protection from<br />

predators.<br />

Larvae are known to feed<br />

on leaf litter and detritus,<br />

including in “nests” of other<br />

insect larvae.<br />

So, keep an eye out for this<br />

distinctive moth as it seems to be<br />

on the increase around central<br />

Lincoln.<br />

Term 4 Update<br />

Principal’s Message<br />

Term 4 has been outstanding with much to celebrate.<br />

This term three of our <strong>Selwyn</strong> Secondary schools came<br />

together to collaborate during a combined Teachers<br />

Only Day. The theme we chose for the day was Mana<br />

ōrite mō te mātauranga Māori - this kaupapa is about<br />

giving equal status to mātauranga Māori in schools and<br />

kura in New Zealand.<br />

We were very proud of our Kapa Haka and Pasifika<br />

groups who opened the cultural festival last Thursday.<br />

Many thanks also to Matua Jason Keno for his role in<br />

being the MC of the whole event.<br />

We received some amazing results from our Junior<br />

Volleyball girls who finished 3rd in the South Island at<br />

their recent competition and cannot wait for our<br />

reigning South Island Champs in Mixed<br />

Touch to show what they have at the<br />

upcoming Nationals in Rotorua.<br />

Preliminary design and planning<br />

continues on the second<br />

senior campus and we<br />

hope to be able to share<br />

drawings with the<br />

community in term 1<br />

2023. We would like to<br />

take this opportunity to<br />

thank our community<br />

for their ongoing support.<br />

Rachel Skelton, Principal<br />

Term 4 Sports Update<br />

Sports continues to grow and in Term 4 we have had<br />

some amazing achievements and successes<br />

• Jack Hocken recorded his first ever century this term.<br />

He opened the batting and managed to finish with 101<br />

not out at the end of the 40 overs.<br />

• Junior Girls Volleyball won theCanterbury Champs<br />

& travelled to Nelson to compete in the South Island<br />

Secondary Schools and placed 3rd<br />

Boys 1st X1 Cricket<br />

1st XI who will be promoted up to the Cup competition<br />

in 2023. This is a huge achievement for this team<br />

and they will be coming up against some of the big<br />

cricketing schools in Christchurch. Thanks must also go<br />

to Craig Newell, Matt Allin and Brendon Edge for their<br />

commitment to Rolleston College Cricket!<br />

Mixed Touch Supertouch Champions<br />

Senior Mixed Touch team coached by Matua Jase are<br />

the Super Touch Canterbury champions. On there<br />

way to the final they beat Rangiora, Lincoln High and<br />

Cashmere but went down to St Andrew’s College who<br />

they met again in the final and beat 8-5.<br />

It goes to show, 7am trainings twice a week pays off.<br />

Hopefully they maintain this momentum as they head<br />

to Rotorua on the 8th <strong>December</strong> for the Secondary<br />

Schools Touch New Zealand Tournament.<br />

Head Students final words<br />

(Emma on behalf of the team)<br />

When we started at Rolleston College a lot was unknown,<br />

and Rolleston had been labelled the “town of the future”<br />

so our College seemed a bit like the school of the future,<br />

especially since we embraced modern learning style.<br />

The school whakatauki: He kakano i ruia mai i rangiatea,<br />

the seed shall not be lost, has been with us since we<br />

arrived. As year 9 learners we were the seeds of the<br />

school with a lot to learn about ourselves and each other.<br />

After spending 5 years together we have made so many<br />

friendships and can have a great time together with<br />

successful events like formal, spirit week and our leavers<br />

party being true proof of this. Throughout these years,<br />

the school has helped us develop our confidence and<br />

knowledge, in preparation for our bright futures. In turn,<br />

we have helped establish the culture and operations of<br />

the school all while coming into our own and completing<br />

our school qualifications.<br />

I can proudly say that us playing our part in developing<br />

the school means that Rolleston College is no longer<br />

the school of the future, it is the school of now. We as the<br />

<strong>2022</strong> graduates are no longer seeds of the school as we<br />

have grown to be the roots.<br />

I will miss you all very much and would just like to<br />

say thank you to my fellow graduates, the parents<br />

supporting us, and the staff who make it all possible.<br />

I wish us all the very best for our futures and hope for<br />

us to all hold pride for our Rolleston College roots as we<br />

continue to flourish.<br />

Summerfest is our final Whānau competition for the year.<br />

Each whanau played Ki O Rahi against each other. Well<br />

done to Hōtoke for winning Summerfest. From that an All<br />

students who took it out.<br />

Ready to Achieve: Mega Selected<br />

This term Mega Selected has taken place. This is<br />

an option class where learners get to experience<br />

integrated courses created with teachers’ passions in<br />

mind. Some examples are Hunger for the Wild where<br />

learners get to cook outdoors. Make for a cause, where<br />

learners are knitting for NICU babies. Mahi Toi where<br />

learners are creating a gift using traditional carving<br />

techniques.<br />

Ready to Flourish: Graduation Celebration<br />

Monday the 5th, our Year 13 leavers took part in the<br />

2023 Graduation Celebration. It was a wonderful event<br />

that Year 13s shared with family and loved ones. We<br />

wish all our leavers the best on the next stages of their<br />

lives. We look forward to continuing our connection<br />

through our Alumni program.<br />

International Students<br />

At Rolleston College we recently welcomed a<br />

large group of Japanese students, from Kobe<br />

International School. The students stayed in<br />

host families in the local area and enjoyed being<br />

immersed in kiwi culture and English. They took<br />

part in a program that included sightseeing day<br />

trips in Christchurch, as well as attending lessons<br />

in school. The Japanese students enjoyed<br />

spending time with their buddies in school and<br />

learning about what a school day is like in New<br />

Zealand. During the visit it was a pleasure to<br />

listen to the Japanese students singing several<br />

songs. There was great excitement amongst our<br />

staff and students to make new friends during<br />

their stay. We were proud to farewell them with<br />

a rousing school haka. We are delighted that<br />

one of the students has chosen to return to us as<br />

a full time international student next year.<br />

Kobe International School would like to visit us<br />

again next November and we are pleased to<br />

further strengthen our relationship. Thank you<br />

to all the local families who hosted a Japanese<br />

student and made them feel welcome.<br />

Cantabrians ‘living the dream’ by<br />

THE EYES of the world are<br />

firmly focused on the FIFA<br />

World Cup in Qatar, and if you<br />

look close enough you will see<br />

plenty of <strong>Selwyn</strong> and Canterbury<br />

faces popping up.<br />

Several FIFA and Q22 (local<br />

organising committee) staff<br />

members and volunteers from<br />

Canterbury are playing key roles<br />

in making the world’s biggest<br />

sporting event run smoothly,<br />

while others have played a big<br />

part in preparing the state-ofthe-art<br />

venues in and around<br />

Doha.<br />

At Lusail Iconic Stadium,<br />

Daniel Lammers has found<br />

himself living the dream of<br />

a football tragic, working<br />

as a volunteer in the media<br />

operations team in the stadium<br />

where Sunday’s final will be<br />

played.<br />

The 19-year-old was initially<br />

assigned to the information desk<br />

in the media centre and has now<br />

also fulfilled several roles inside<br />

the venue, including managing<br />

the photographers during the<br />

entrance ceremonies at several<br />

matches.<br />

He feels lucky to be on the<br />

field with superstars like Messi,<br />

Ronaldo and Suarez, but says the<br />

volunteers are so busy that they<br />

have little time to soak in what<br />

they are seeing.<br />

“To keep the photographers<br />

IN CONTROL: Volunteer Daniel Lammers on the pitch managing the<br />

off the field, the volunteers hold<br />

a rope, but during the Argentina<br />

game it was like a tug-of-war.<br />

The volunteers could barely<br />

hang onto the rope, because<br />

the photographers were trying<br />

to get closer to Messi,” says<br />

the former Rolleston College<br />

student, who unfortunately did<br />

not manage to get a sneaky selfie<br />

with the maestro, because taking<br />

photos is strictly prohibited for<br />

volunteers.<br />

their companies have been part<br />

for the event and Leeston-based<br />

landscape architect Geraint<br />

Howells loves watching his<br />

handiwork at the Al Bayt<br />

Stadium being enjoyed by<br />

thousands of visitors.<br />

Howells was initially invited<br />

by fellow Cantabrian Chris<br />

Glasson to design an Englishstyle<br />

garden at the upmarket<br />

Al Aziziyah Boutique Hotel,<br />

and the success of that job led<br />

to an opportunity to design<br />

the landscaping around the<br />

enormous Al<br />

Bayt Stadium,<br />

which looks like<br />

a Bedouin<br />

tent.<br />

“We spend a<br />

lot of our lives<br />

being seen and<br />

Geraint<br />

without people Howells<br />

realising the<br />

creativity and work that has<br />

gone into it their spaces,” says<br />

Howells, who designed a lavish<br />

landscape of parks, waterfalls<br />

and palm trees for spectators<br />

at the 69,000-seat stadium that<br />

hosted the opening match.<br />

working at football World Cup<br />

“So when we get to see people<br />

enjoying these spaces on an<br />

international stage, the biggest<br />

stage, and especially the opening<br />

match, it does fill you with pride<br />

and makes all the hard work<br />

worth it.”<br />

The longest serving Q22 staffer<br />

from Christchurch is Kevin<br />

Clarke, well-known in Christchurch<br />

football circles for his involvement<br />

with Halswell United,<br />

and in Qatar working as a media<br />

operations manager.<br />

Clarke, a veteran of many<br />

major sporting events, both as<br />

an media manager and a sports<br />

photographer, was recruited to<br />

help set up media operations at<br />

the Lusail Iconic Stadium.<br />

“I’ve really enjoyed my time<br />

here. It’s been very interesting<br />

and never boring,” the Scottishborn<br />

Kiwi said.<br />

“There’s been lots of great<br />

memories and also lots of tough<br />

hard days, like any other job.”<br />

The Halswell resident has been<br />

in Doha since May and has been<br />

running the media operations<br />

across the 32 training venues.<br />

“We do kind of live in a bubble,<br />

between the main media centre,<br />

the stadiums and the training<br />

venues, but I have managed quite<br />

well to get out and about with<br />

my camera and to have a look<br />

around,” Clarke said.<br />

“It’s been pretty much full on<br />

since the tournament started<br />

but luckily I managed to spend a<br />

couple of games on the sideline<br />

taking photos which was<br />

brilliant.”<br />

“I know it sounds cliché but we<br />

are all living the dream here. If<br />

you love football, the World Cup<br />

is the pinnacle. I am privileged to<br />

be part of this event.<br />

“On and off the park, we are<br />

surrounded by the best of the<br />

best and we don’t really come<br />

across that in New Zealand. But<br />

they are all just people and only a<br />

very, very small minority have a<br />

sense of entitlement and certainly<br />

none of the players or media I’ve<br />

dealt with.’’<br />

Not far from Clarke’s office,<br />

North Canterbury’s Andrew<br />

Currie also works as a contractor<br />

in the International Broadcasting<br />

Centre as a FIFA Max content<br />

publisher, making sure all the<br />

footage from the stadiums ends<br />

up with the right outlets.<br />

Many more Cantabrians have<br />

been involved in World Cup,<br />

but many are reluctant to speak,<br />

as they or their companies are<br />

nervous to be associated with the<br />

controversies surrounding the<br />

Qatar hosting.<br />

Uruguay. Daniel Lammers is<br />

on the field.<br />

six months and like many other<br />

expats, has been frustrated by the<br />

avalanche of criticism thrown at<br />

the host country and FIFA.<br />

“Things are not as black and<br />

white or as simple as everyone<br />

has made it out to be,” says the<br />

Cantabrian, who is the first to admit<br />

that many aspects of Qatari<br />

society are far from perfect.<br />

“But you have to live here to<br />

better understand the context<br />

and not just fly in and out for a<br />

couple of days and pass judgment<br />

like many journalists have done,<br />

some of them haven’t even been<br />

to Qatar at all.”<br />

New walking and cycling<br />

tracks open at Reid’s Pit<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> District has a brand new recreational reserve at Reid’s Pit, on the corner of<br />

Weedons and <strong>Selwyn</strong> Roads.<br />

The new 4.1 hectare reserve, near Rolleston, features two walking/running tracks<br />

and four bike-only tracks that weave through the landscaped ecological and<br />

recreational areas. Dog walking is also encouraged, as long as pets are leashed.<br />

Open Space and Facilities Projects Manager Cameron Warr says completing the<br />

transformation of the old council gravel pit into a stunning community facility has<br />

been a long but highly rewarding journey.<br />

“We’ve had come tricky issues to work through, including Covid holdups and last<br />

July’s flooding that meant we have had to make some repairs, so it’s really exciting<br />

to finally see this come to fruition.”<br />

Next year, the reserve will be connected to the Lincoln/Rolleston cycleway<br />

when the <strong>Selwyn</strong>, Rolleston and Lincoln Roads intersection is upgraded. Further<br />

community planting days are also planned for 2023, following the success of<br />

previous plantings.<br />

Work on developing the former gravel pit began about seven years ago when the<br />

Council consulted the community on what they wanted on the site. “A recreation<br />

reserve for biking and walking won hands down,” Cameron says.<br />

A project steering group was then formed involving community and Council<br />

representatives. Lincoln University has also taken an active interest in the site<br />

through initial biodiversity assessments and a team is monitoring the reserve to<br />

determine what wildlife are living there and using it, post-development.<br />

Changes to sport and recreation fees<br />

New fees and charges will be in place next year for some fitness and swimming<br />

classes and Council services following a review of prices.<br />

From 1 January 2023 the majority of fees for the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Aquatic Centre, <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

Sports Centre and group fitness classes will increase by about 10%.<br />

The change for most services, will be less than $1. General pool entry to the<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> Aquatic Centre will increase by .60c for an adult and by .30c for a child or<br />

preschooler. Casual entry for all other Council pools will remain unchanged. Casual<br />

entry for Group Fitness classes will increase by $1 for adults and .60 for Gold,<br />

Community Services and Hapai card holders.<br />

These fees and charges are reviewed annually and it is the first time in five years that<br />

many of these charges have been changed, Head of Sport and Recreation, James<br />

Richmond says.<br />

“Over the past 18 months we have faced increasing costs in running these services<br />

and facilities. We’ve worked really hard to keep all fee changes to a minimum while<br />

covering those increases and still find ourselves below many other councils<br />

charges nationally.”<br />

User groups will be notified directly of fee changes for their services.<br />

Give your dog a merry Christmas<br />

As end-of-year festivities start kicking off around the district, <strong>Selwyn</strong> dog<br />

owners are being asked to ensure their pooches are ready for the silly<br />

season too.<br />

Council’s Animal Control Team Leader, Steve Clarke says it’s important<br />

owners take steps to help their dog stay safe and out of harm’s way. This<br />

includes checking that their pet is wearing their current Council dog tag, and<br />

that their home and yard are secure.<br />

“If you’re planning to<br />

go away on holiday and<br />

will be leaving your dog<br />

with friends or having<br />

someone dog-sit, the blue<br />

registration tags become<br />

even more important.<br />

If your dog gets loose,<br />

the tags help us identify<br />

them so that they can be<br />

returned home as soon<br />

as possible.”<br />

A thorough check of<br />

the yard’s fencing and<br />

any spots dogs might escape from will help keep them secure at home. In<br />

2021/22, Council responded to 448 instances of wandering dogs, which was<br />

the single biggest dog complaint people made to the Council.<br />

Steve says the Animal Control service will continue to operate around the<br />

clock over the Christmas/New Year period.<br />

“If you do come across a lost dog, or your pet goes missing, please call the<br />

Council. Our Animal Control team is available 24/7 and will be working<br />

throughout the holidays to respond to issues.”<br />

During the holidays, residents are urged to call the Council about dog control<br />

issues, rather than emailing or using Snap, Send, Solve. The Council can be<br />

reached on 0800 SELWYN (735 996).<br />

Repairs almost complete on storm damaged roads<br />

Motorists are reminded to slow down and be considerate around roadwork sites this summer as<br />

efforts to fix damaged roads continue.<br />

Council roading teams have now completed 95 per cent of repairs after heavy rainfall in July<br />

caused significant damage to the local roading network.<br />

The work has included fixing four bridges, 220km of roads, and more than 3,315 potholes. As part<br />

of remedial work at Coes Ford, Council roading contractor HEB Construction has also shifted<br />

35,000 cubic metres of shingle.<br />

More road issues have been reported in urban areas since the floods, and additional workers have<br />

been deployed to fix them. These workers are now concentrating on road repairs on all<br />

arterial roads.<br />

Adding to the challenges from both the July 2021 and May <strong>2022</strong> weather events, <strong>Selwyn</strong> also had<br />

more than 40 trees blow down in a severe wind event in September this year. Work to remove the<br />

trees is ongoing.<br />

Drivers are urged to be mindful of roadworks throughout the district this holiday season, by<br />

slowing down, and obeying signs and directions. Roading teams are working hard to repair the<br />

network during the busy summer construction period.<br />

Crowds turn out for youth space opening<br />

There was a party as the new youth space in Rolleston town centre was officially opened<br />

on Sunday.<br />

Street art, skateboarding, hip hop and sports competitions were all on show as hundreds enjoyed<br />

the newly opened area on the edge of Rolleston Reserve.<br />

Mayor Sam Broughton officially opened the space before taking part in a netball free throw<br />

competition. Gaga ball and the new skate area were particularly popular, along with a nerf war and<br />

sumo suits that were available on the day.<br />

Nelson Creek Skateboards and Outsiders skate shop gave a demonstration and led a skate<br />

competition with skateboards and safety gear up for prizes, including three boards decorated by<br />

artist Canvas Artz who also hosted a street art demonstration on the day. While Swarm Studios<br />

and Afro Fusion brought the noise with a dance battle and workshops.<br />

Rolleston crowned mixed touch champions<br />

• By Jaime Cunningham<br />

ROLLESTON College has ended<br />

a successful touch campaign this<br />

term, finishing the year as mixed<br />

champions at the New Zealand<br />

Secondary Schools’ National<br />

Touch Championship in Rotorua<br />

over the weekend.<br />

The team beat Auckland’s<br />

Botany Downs Secondary<br />

College 8-6 in Sunday’s final,<br />

after losing to the same team the<br />

day before in a pool match.<br />

It is the best placing at the<br />

NZSS tournament for the school,<br />

after being crowned Super Touch<br />

Canterbury champions last<br />

month. Lincoln High’s mixed<br />

team also did well over the<br />

weekend, finishing fifth.<br />

Rolleston College captain<br />

Hunter Keno said his team’s<br />

result wasn’t expected, but to<br />

see the improvements from<br />

15th placing in 2020 was “pretty<br />

mean”.<br />

“Some of the boys are still rewatching<br />

the game because we’re<br />

still a bit shocked,” he said.<br />

Keno said the team’s big<br />

improvements came from<br />

morning training sessions twice<br />

a week, plus two weekly games<br />

on top of majority of the players<br />

competing in club touch.<br />

He said the team’s coaches,<br />

Denise and Jason Keno (who<br />

are his parents), were also a key<br />

reason for the team’s success.<br />

“Most players only had to pay<br />

$200 to go to nationals, and<br />

others paid nothing, because of<br />

my mum’s fundraising efforts,”<br />

Keno said.<br />

The year 13 student said he<br />

was also grateful for his father’s<br />

“heap of knowledge” and his<br />

unique dynamic with the<br />

players.<br />

The former New Zealand<br />

touch representative had<br />

also been recently crowned<br />

school coach of the year at the<br />

Canterbury Rugby Awards<br />

last month.<br />

Although Rolleston College<br />

will lose seven year 13 players,<br />

Keno believes much of the team’s<br />

success this year has come from<br />

keeping the same core group of<br />

players in the team for a number<br />

of seasons.<br />

“It’s pretty cool to finish high<br />

school with a team who have<br />

stayed together since year 10,” he<br />

said.<br />

Rolleston College principal<br />

Rachel Skelton said the school<br />

was “so proud” of the team’s<br />

success in gaining a national<br />

championship title in the<br />

school’s short history.<br />

“A massive thank you to<br />

the players and players who<br />

didn’t travel, for the dedication<br />

you have shown to the touch<br />

program at Rolleston College we<br />

can’t thank you enough, and to<br />

Jason and Denise Keno, thank<br />

you for the dedication and the<br />

knowledge you bring to this<br />

team,” Skelton said.<br />

Andrea<br />

James ​<br />

• By Jaime Cunningham<br />

FOR THE first time in its<br />

history the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Netball<br />

Centre has elected a board.<br />

Netball is continually<br />

growing in the district and<br />

membership within SNC<br />

currently sits at about 2700<br />

players, so the executive<br />

committee decided the need<br />

for a separate board.<br />

The newly-established<br />

board will be focused on<br />

the governance of the centre<br />

from 2023 and beyond,<br />

while the committee oversees<br />

the operations of the<br />

centre.<br />

Nominations were open<br />

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

throughout November, before<br />

the board was elected at<br />

the annual general meeting<br />

on Wednesday at Te Ara Tea<br />

in Rolleston.<br />

Current SNC president<br />

Andrea James was elected<br />

board chair, while committee<br />

treasurer Justine Caunce<br />

will be in the same role<br />

James to head new <strong>Selwyn</strong> netball board<br />

within the board.<br />

Former Mainland Netball<br />

coach lead Deb Johnson was<br />

elected secretary, with Dawn<br />

Dalley, Nadia Scott and Lyn<br />

Miles filling the three other<br />

positions on the board.<br />

The main priorities of the<br />

board will be to ensure a<br />

strategy focus is implemented,<br />

creating policies aligning<br />

with Netball New Zealand,<br />

maintaining financial sustainability<br />

and that laws are<br />

adhered to.<br />

James said the group<br />

elected all have “excellent<br />

knowlege, skills and passion<br />

for both governance and<br />

netball.”<br />

DESERVED: Ellesmere rugby president Stuart Boon (right)<br />

was awarded his life membership to the sub-union by Gavin<br />

Eastwick last week. ​Above – Boon bursts through a tackle<br />

while playing for Leeston against Southbridge in 1985.<br />

Life membership for Ellesmere stalwart<br />

• By Jaime Cunningham<br />

LONG-SERVING Ellesmere<br />

and Canterbury Country rugby<br />

stalwart Stuart Boon has been<br />

awarded a life membership at<br />

Ellesmere Rugby Sub Union’s<br />

annual meeting last week.<br />

Boon is the current<br />

president of both Ellesmere<br />

and Canterbury Country Sub<br />

Unions, and has also been a<br />

board member of the Canterbury<br />

Rugby Union since 2011.<br />

He started playing rugby<br />

around the age of 10, and had<br />

stints playing for Leeston and<br />

Dunsandel.<br />

Boon had a successful<br />

playing career as a back, in a<br />

handful of positions such as<br />

fullback and centre. He featured<br />

in representative teams for<br />

Ellesmere, Canterbury Country<br />

and Canterbury B.<br />

Boon also coached a few of<br />

his children’s teams “as you do”,<br />

but mainly featured in a range<br />

of administrative roles for both<br />

Dunsandel and Ellesmere rugby<br />

after he stopped playing.<br />

He was also president of<br />

Dunsandel, where he “started<br />

and ended” as a player, before<br />

becoming a life member at the<br />

club in 2000.<br />

He said being awarded a life<br />

membership on Wednesday<br />

came as “a bit of a shock” but<br />

admitted Ellesmere rugby has<br />

been a massive part of his life.<br />

“I’ve probably got a couple<br />

years left (as president),” he said.<br />

“I’ve got to let somebody else<br />

have a go at some point.”<br />

Fellow Ellesmere rugby<br />

life member Gavin Eastwick<br />

presented Boon with his award.<br />

He said Boon potentially held<br />

the title of most points in a single<br />

game for an Ellesmere team,<br />

with 41 – when tries were only<br />

worth four points as well.<br />

Eastwick said many people can<br />

remember the “huge booming<br />

punts” that came from Boon’s<br />

boot, which allegedly saved his<br />

team on a number of occasions.<br />

He said Boon is “an<br />

extremely worthy recipient of<br />

life membership” through his<br />

significant contributions to the<br />

sport in the district.<br />

Wednesday’s meeting also saw<br />

Prebbleton’s Derek Todd and<br />

Tim Murgatroyd step down<br />

from the board, while West<br />

Melton president Gavin<br />

Summerfield was appointed for<br />

the first time.<br />

GARDENING 37<br />

Eggplant a taste of the Mediterranean<br />

EGGPLANT IS a tropical<br />

perennial that is very easy<br />

to grow.<br />

It is an essential ingredient<br />

in Mediterranean<br />

moussaka and French<br />

ratatouille, and great in<br />

stews, or simply sliced,<br />

sprinkled with salt and<br />

barbecued.<br />

Look in your vegetable<br />

garden for a well-drained<br />

and sunny position to<br />

grow your eggplant, otherwise<br />

known as aubergine.<br />

If you planted capsicum<br />

and cucumbers recently,<br />

try popping your eggplant<br />

seedlings next to them.<br />

They’re good companion<br />

plants, as they all like the<br />

same conditions.<br />

They also like to hang<br />

their fruit, so grow well<br />

planted in a pot or raised<br />

garden bed.<br />

Grab some seedlings<br />

and simply plant around<br />

20cm apart. If you don’t<br />

have a suitable raised bed<br />

or tub, add some straw<br />

or newspaper around the<br />

base of the plants to stop<br />

the fruit from sitting on<br />

damp soil and rotting.<br />

To help your seedlings<br />

establish well, making<br />

mini glasshouses out of<br />

old milk bottles.<br />

Cut the bottom off a<br />

DELICIOUS: Cook eggplant on a barbecue,<br />

brush with olive oil and add the capsicums you<br />

have grown alongside.<br />

recycled and clean milk<br />

bottle. Put the top over the<br />

plant but remove the lid<br />

to allow for a bit of wind<br />

circulation. Once they get<br />

growing you can remove<br />

the milk bottles.<br />

The key with eggplants<br />

is not over watering. They<br />

like it quite dry and sunny<br />

and will rot if they get<br />

too much water. If you do<br />

water them, make sure you<br />

avoid overhead watering.<br />

In around February,<br />

your fruit should be ready<br />

to harvest. For a tasty addition<br />

to your late summer<br />

barbecues, simply slice the<br />

fruit into about six to eight<br />

pieces (around 1cm thick<br />

each), brush with olive oil<br />

on both sides and barbecue.<br />

Once cooked, add<br />

some rock salt for taste<br />

and serve as a side.<br />

Lastly, although eggplant<br />

is technically a perennial<br />

(a plant that dies down<br />

and pops up again for<br />

many growing seasons),<br />

in New Zealand it tends<br />

to behave like an annual<br />

because of our temperate<br />

climate, which means once<br />

you’ve harvested all your<br />

fruit simply remove the<br />

plants and replant next<br />

year.<br />

Forget range anxiety with MG ZS<br />

IF EVER THERE was an<br />

indication New Zealand is<br />

embracing electric vehicles, it<br />

would be a conversation I had<br />

with a member of the sales team<br />

at Christchurch’s MG dealership.<br />

I was picking up an MG ZS<br />

electric vehicle and was told he<br />

drove from Christchurch to Greymouth<br />

and return in a similar<br />

model and found there were six<br />

designated EV charging stations<br />

between the two destinations.<br />

Not only does that alleviate a<br />

lot of range anxiety, but it’s good<br />

to know if there is one station not<br />

functioning, or it is occupied, you<br />

don’t have to travel far to get to<br />

the next point. Of course, all of<br />

that can be mapped and plotted<br />

on charge.net.nz<br />

The MG ZS is completely electric,<br />

there’s no internal combustion<br />

engine. If you like the idea of<br />

a hybrid, MG also has a petrol/<br />

electric model - the HS. I evaluated<br />

it in these columns in October.<br />

That aside, the ZS is all new for<br />

<strong>2022</strong>, it differs in looks from the<br />

previous version with a completely<br />

blanked off grille area and<br />

several other cosmetic changes.<br />

There are also new suspension<br />

components and technical<br />

changes that provide greater<br />

distance between charges and add<br />

a higher level of specification and<br />

fitment.<br />

There are two ZS models – Excite<br />

and Essence - the evaluation<br />

car was the latter and over and<br />

above the Excite it gets synthetic<br />

leather trim (heated front seats<br />

with electric driver’s seat adjustment),<br />

panoramic sunroof, and<br />

roof rails amongst a few other<br />

minor details.<br />

These are on top of what would<br />

ordinarily be seen as a fairly<br />

healthy specification level in the<br />

first instance. There is a lot of<br />

electronic wizardry in the car, yet<br />

the minimalist cockpit environment<br />

disguises a wealth of depth<br />

beneath the digital displays. I<br />

particularly like the dial gear<br />

selector; well. given there is only<br />

two real drive modes – forward<br />

and reverse – there’s no need for<br />

a traditional gear selector to be<br />

included.<br />

There’s a lot of kit in the car,<br />

and if you are thinking there will<br />

be considerable cost involved,<br />

think again. The ZS Excite comes<br />

in at $49,990, the Essence adds<br />

an extra $4k. What’s more, these<br />

are driveway prices, on road costs<br />

are included and you will also get<br />

the entire $8625 NZ Government<br />

Clean Car programme rebate<br />

These figures stack up, not only<br />

are you getting a state-of-the-art<br />

electric vehicle, you aren’t going<br />

to break the bank doing so.<br />

I guess that’s just one of the<br />

reasons why MG is doing well in<br />

the Kiwi market, it’s affordable,<br />

great value and in today’s age<br />

where EVs are in demand, the ZS<br />

COMPACT: The MG ZS is squat but it is a genuine family<br />

wagon.<br />

MG ZS EV: Blanked off grille signifies a major facelift.<br />

has been a popular model, and it<br />

will continue to be that way especially<br />

so now that it’s been given<br />

an upgrade and major facelift for<br />

<strong>2022</strong>/23.<br />

At the business end sits an<br />

electro-synchronous motor that is<br />

coupled to a single-speed gearing<br />

system. Drive is transmitted to<br />

the front wheels only. MG rate<br />

the power outputs at 130kW and<br />

280Nm, if you add in both of<br />

these figures are available from<br />

standstill right through the power<br />

range, then there is a substantial<br />

amount of energy that will satisfy<br />

those who like to have a strong<br />

feel of acceleration (0-100km/h in<br />

8.2sec) and for those who prefer<br />

to get the travelling distance and<br />

use the throttle moderately.<br />

To do that there’s an eco mode<br />

that dulls throttle response<br />

markedly and, of course, there<br />

are also normal and sport drive<br />

modes.<br />

According to MG, the ZS<br />

EV will make 320km between<br />

charges. To reach 80 per cent<br />

from zero charge will take 54min<br />

at a designated charge port, or<br />

five to eight hours to fill the batteries<br />

to capacity from domestic<br />

supply. As is my norm, I just got<br />

into the habit of plugging back<br />

in every time I returned home,<br />

the domestic cable at 5m was just<br />

long enough to enable charging<br />

without being difficult in my<br />

unique environment.<br />

On the move the ZS is almost<br />

• Price – MG ZS EV, $53,990<br />

• Dimensions – Length,<br />

4323mm; width, 1809mm;<br />

height, 1649mm<br />

• Configuration – Electrosynchronous<br />

motor,<br />

front-wheel-drive, 130kW,<br />

280Nm, one-speed<br />

automatic<br />

• Performance –<br />

0-100km/h, 8.2sec<br />

silent; sure, there are extraneous<br />

noises such as an electronic<br />

whine and wind gushes around<br />

the mirrors but they are very minor,<br />

there is an uncanny silence<br />

associated with electric vehicles<br />

and that will appeal to many<br />

motorists.<br />

At highway speed the ZS whips<br />

through the air without fuss, and<br />

it dispenses the kilometres with<br />

ease. I headed west towards my<br />

usual highway loops and was<br />

completely comfortable with the<br />

evaluation car. It also feels quite<br />

tidy in a corner.<br />

Even with the suspension<br />

revisions the mechanical components<br />

are quite simplistic. There’s<br />

a torsion beam linking the two<br />

rear wheels, and while that would<br />

ordinarily limit wheel movement<br />

in each corner, the spring and<br />

damper rates have compliance so<br />

that maximum suspension travel<br />

is on offer when the ruts and<br />

bumps are hit.<br />

Such are the soft settings the<br />

occupants are treated to a glorious<br />

ride, there’s much absorbency<br />

through the underpinnings while<br />

seat construction and spacious<br />

design means huge on board<br />

comfort.<br />

Elsewhere the ZS is built with<br />

traditional sport utility vehicle values.<br />

At 4.5m it isn’t a big car but it<br />

makes good use of its proportions.<br />

There’s also decent cargo carrying<br />

ability, the load section is deep, I<br />

used the ZS to transport the two<br />

cricket gear bags and other associated<br />

kit to the two Saturday junior<br />

and youth games that I oversee.<br />

There was room for much more<br />

and, what’s more, it has an easy<br />

load height.<br />

Part of the conversation when I<br />

picked up the ZS also surrounded<br />

the direction MG were travelling<br />

(no pun intended) in terms of<br />

research and development. The<br />

company is producing vehicles<br />

with far greater range than ever<br />

before, and those models will<br />

eventually land in New Zealand.<br />

With the nationwide charging<br />

infrastructure constantly rolling<br />

out in greater numbers, it won’t<br />

be long before those really long<br />

journeys just become second<br />

nature.<br />

That has to be a good thing<br />

safety-wise as well, because it<br />

forces the occupants to stop<br />

driving from time to time,<br />

have a coffee and refresh while<br />

those battery packs are being<br />

replenished.<br />

Your guide to all things Real Estate<br />

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

Wow with wallpaper!<br />

Wallpaper is a popular trend and is the<br />

perfect chance to be bold with your design<br />

choices, whether renovating or completing<br />

a new build. With digital printing processes<br />

and the ability to use textural elements,<br />

wallpaper can let your creative side loose,<br />

achieving a stunning visual and textural<br />

effect.<br />

Vivid colours with intricate patterns and<br />

designs focusing on nature and sustainability<br />

are on-trend. These nature inspired-designs<br />

follow the idea of Biophilia, meaning “Love<br />

of Nature”. Of course, this has produced an<br />

enormous range of botanical, flora, fauna,<br />

and jungle prints leading to blue and green<br />

colours being prominent in wallpaper colour<br />

palettes. These prints are intended to bring a<br />

sense of tranquillity and well-being.<br />

While wallpaper can affect the mood of<br />

your room, it can also help with low light<br />

levels and imperfect walls. For example,<br />

wallpaper with a sheen or a metallic or<br />

iridescent design will reflect light around<br />

the room. For those uneven walls, textured<br />

papers and Anaglyptas are the answer,<br />

while heavily patterned wallpapers can<br />

deflect attention away from flaws. Textured<br />

wallpaper can include silk or even jute<br />

wallpapers woven into sheets.<br />

Some wallpaper designs provide a more<br />

abstract and stylised flair by combining<br />

botanical images and contemporary angular<br />

geometric shapes. Other popular choices are<br />

Chinoiserie wallpaper inspired by Chinese<br />

and Japanese art or the Chateaux style<br />

inspired by stately British homes. However,<br />

an ombre effect or watercolour-style<br />

wallpaper will provide a softer look.<br />

Nowadays, it is a reasonably<br />

straightforward process if you’re the DIY<br />

type who doesn’t want a professional to hang<br />

the wallpaper. With paste-the-wall products,<br />

the paste is applied directly to the wall or<br />

prepasted wallpaper is given a quick soak for<br />

the paste to be activated. However, unpasted<br />

wallpapers will require time for the paste to<br />

soak in before hanging. Also, ensuring the<br />

surface is well-prepared before hanging any<br />

wallpaper is essential and will help to give<br />

your wall a great look.<br />

If you think wallpapering a whole wall<br />

may not be for you, perhaps installing a<br />

feature wall with a mural art piece is an<br />

option. The wallpaper colour, pattern and<br />

texture are your choices, and whatever your<br />

decision, have fun with your wallpaper<br />

selection, as your home should be a place<br />

you feel comfortable.<br />

A DARFIELD farmer has<br />

spoken of watching a man leap into<br />

the flooded Hawkins River to try and<br />

save himself after a helicopter winch<br />

rescue operation failed.<br />

Rod May had taken his tractor to<br />

the scene on Greendale Rd, to try and<br />

reach the middle-aged man who had<br />

been clinging to the branches of a tree<br />

in the rising waters on Sunday night.<br />

The man had driven into the<br />

flooded river, escaped from his car<br />

and ca led emergency services from<br />

his ce lphone which he managed to<br />

keep with him.<br />

Ultimately, a second helicopter<br />

winch operation plucked the man<br />

to safety after he was swept downstream.<br />

It was a happy ending to the<br />

ordeal which had lasted more than<br />

three hours. The rescue was among<br />

several in Canterbury on Sunday in<br />

flooded rivers.<br />

May said he and his family had just<br />

had dinner when a neighbour alerted<br />

them. Arriving about 8.50pm, he saw<br />

the floodwaters were too high for the<br />

tractor, however, he used its lights for<br />

i luminating the site where the man<br />

was. • Turn to page 5<br />

IS ADVERTISING<br />

IMPORTANT TO<br />

CONSUMERS?<br />

THE ANSWER<br />

IS YES!<br />

• By Ba ry Clarke<br />

A BAR patron who won $1200<br />

on the pokies may have been<br />

targeted by thieves moments after<br />

she co lected the money.<br />

A group of men who were in<br />

the bar a the same time are the<br />

focus of police inquiries. It is<br />

believed they watched her being<br />

paid, and then quickly swooped.<br />

The incident happened at The<br />

Famous Grouse Hotel in Lincoln<br />

two weeks ago.<br />

After she was paid out a the<br />

bar, the men who had been<br />

si ting nearby went over and<br />

congratulated her. While she was<br />

distracted the money disappeared<br />

from her handbag. She only<br />

realised it was gone after she left<br />

the hotel.<br />

Police have taken CCTV<br />

security camera footage from the<br />

hotel which shows the men going<br />

over to the woman and mobbing<br />

her in a congratulatory way. The<br />

footage also captures a hand from<br />

one of the men going towards the<br />

Police say they may have<br />

identified one of the group but<br />

aren’t saying anymore about<br />

the incident. The <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong><br />

understands the men are from<br />

the Amberley area.<br />

WHY USE A NEWSPAPER<br />

TO ADVERTISE?<br />

• Offer targeted<br />

advertising through<br />

regular weekly inserts,<br />

or monthly sections, or<br />

special promotions<br />

• Offers flexibility and<br />

frequency - businesses<br />

can choose the size<br />

and location of the ad<br />

as well as when and how often the ad<br />

will appear<br />

• Offer professional design services<br />

- businesses can work with a designer to get<br />

the design and style they want at no extra cost<br />

• Provide affordability - generally costs<br />

less than television, radio, and direct mail<br />

advertising and can be designed to suit<br />

any budget<br />

• Reach more readers - newspapers sit around<br />

from week to week and readers are more likely<br />

to come back to a newspaper to find and save<br />

information<br />

• Capture more attention - newspaper readers<br />

spend a longer period of time reading a<br />

newspaper whereas research indicates, “the<br />

average attention span of an Internet user is<br />

eight seconds”<br />

• Offer integrated services - such as online<br />

advertising on news sites, professional<br />

photography, and videography, and parallel<br />

advertising in other publications.<br />

Marigolds are said to deter<br />

aphids from tomatoes and roses,<br />

SPRING IS a time when it’s<br />

desirable to be working is the<br />

garden.<br />

However, there are hidden<br />

dangers and one of those is<br />

developing legionnaires’ disease.<br />

Here are some guidelines to<br />

avoid that happening<br />

•Minimise the amount of dust<br />

present when working in the<br />

garden.<br />

• Water gardens and indoor<br />

plants using a gentle spray.<br />

• Read the warning label on<br />

bagged composts or po ting mix.<br />

• Wear gloves.<br />

• Wear a mask so that any dust<br />

is filtered out before you can<br />

breathe it in.<br />

• Dampen po ting mixes before<br />

• Open bags of soil products<br />

slowly, away from the face.<br />

• Make sure the working area<br />

(for example, the gla shouse or<br />

po ting shed) is we l ventilated.<br />

• See a doctor if you develop a<br />

flu-like i lne s that seems to be<br />

worsening.<br />

• Wash hands thoroughly<br />

after gardening or handling soil<br />

products.<br />

These are simple, easy and<br />

natural steps that a l gardeners<br />

can take to reduce risk while<br />

continuing to enjoy their garden.<br />

Prebbleton 19 Brahman Close<br />

When location means everything!<br />

It's fair to say that properties in the sought-after Stonebridge subdivision, in the heart of Prebbleton, seldom reach<br />

the market. The convenient location, the peaceful nature, and the quality of the surrounding homes ensure residents<br />

are loath to leave, holding tight to their properties and the endearing features of the area. This large family home<br />

astutely blends a commanding presence with warmth and charm. Inside, this well-configured layout boasts five goodsized<br />

bedrooms and two bathrooms, including an ensuite off the master, and an office. Both bathrooms have been<br />

renovated and are tiled throughout with a standalone bath in the family bathroom. The large kitchen and the openplan<br />

dining/living areas are complemented by a separate formal lounge, offering flexibility for families of all shapes<br />

and sizes. The home is sunny and warm, with an abundance of natural light bathing the communal areas, and a bevy<br />

of intelligent heating solutions (including a gas fireplace, a heat transfer system, a heatpump, underfloor heating in<br />

the tiled areas and double glazing throughout) promising year-round comfort. Situated on a back section and framed<br />

by mature trees and manicured gardens, the 2300+m2 grounds are the perfect spot to unwind with family and<br />

friends, enjoying privacy and the undeniably peaceful environs of this highly desirable part of the village.<br />
