RISING CRIME RATE<br />

‘I’m going to come back<br />

and ram-raid your shop’<br />

• By Daniel Alvey<br />

RETAIL CRIME has increased<br />

significantly in the district over the<br />

past year.<br />

And dairy owners Shamina and<br />

Shehan Saparamadu are facing the<br />

onslaught on a daily basis.<br />

Latest police data shows for the year<br />

ending March 1, reported retail theft<br />

went up 48 per cent, from 95 instances<br />

to <strong>14</strong>1.<br />

There was also a 56 per cent<br />

increase in assaults, with 496<br />

compared to 292.<br />

The Saparamadus’ own the Lincoln<br />

Dairy on Robert St and often catch<br />

shoplifters – many of whom are from<br />

local schools.<br />

Shamina said <strong>14</strong> youths had been<br />

trespassed in the last “couple of<br />

months”.<br />

They have also had a number<br />

of confrontations with the young<br />

offenders or their parents.<br />

Shamina said a trespassed shoplifter<br />

told her: “I’m going to come back and<br />

f***ing ram-raid your shop”.<br />

The Saparamadus said calls<br />

to police often go unanswered and<br />

they have had little response from<br />

Lincoln High School.<br />

Said Shehan: “The Lincoln High<br />

School principal (Kathy Paterson)<br />

suggested we stop<br />

all students from<br />

coming into<br />

the store, but I<br />

can’t do that<br />

as what<br />

will<br />

happen<br />

to all my<br />

business.<br />

“The schools<br />

have said it is<br />

not their responsibility.”<br />

Paterson did not<br />

respond to calls<br />

from the <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

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

Shamina said they<br />

have also caught pupils from Lincoln<br />

Primary School stealing.<br />

The Saparamadus told principal<br />

Chris Nord about the shoplifting and<br />

the school had assisted them where<br />

possible.<br />

WHEN IT comes to crime,<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> is still a relatively<br />

safe place to live.<br />

But times are changing.<br />

Today we reveal the latest<br />

crime statistics, which not<br />

unexpectedly are on the<br />

rise.<br />

Dairy owners Shamina<br />

and Shehan Saparamadu<br />

are on the front line. They<br />

are regularly hit by shoplifters<br />

and ram-raiders. The<br />

dairy looks like Fort Knox.<br />

The young offenders<br />

appear to have no fear of<br />

being caught or any consequences<br />

they may face.<br />

The <strong>Selwyn</strong> police are silent<br />

on the crime stats. They<br />

A SCULPTURE displayed in the<br />

Lincoln town centre has sold for<br />

more than $100,000.<br />

The Llew Summers sculpture<br />

Ariel was on loan from the Tai<br />

Tapu Sculpture Garden and displayed<br />

in Gerald St to enhance<br />

the main street.<br />

It was part of a collaboration<br />

between the district council, the<br />

Lincoln Community Committee<br />

and the sculpture garden.<br />

co-founder Peter Joyce said<br />

the sculpture was bought by a<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> resident.<br />

“The people who<br />

bought it said seeing it<br />

everyday made them<br />

decide they wanted to<br />

buy it.”<br />

Joyce couldn’t say<br />

how much it sold for,<br />

but the <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong><br />

understands it went for<br />

$122,000. It had a listed<br />

price on the sculpture garden<br />

website of $110,000.<br />

Gerald St, Lincoln, has been sold (left). A new sculpture, Titan,<br />

by Christchurch artist Matthew Williams will fill the space. ​<br />

Going, going, gone for $122k<br />

District council culture<br />

content and learning manager<br />

Mat Logan said the district<br />

council, the committee and<br />

the sculpture garden work<br />

together to select art from<br />

the garden for display.<br />

Joyce said there was a<br />

sculpture lined up for<br />

the site and awaiting collection.<br />

The new sculpture,<br />

Titan, was created by<br />

Christchurch artist Matthew<br />

Williams.<br />

Titan is a layered corten steel<br />

cube on top of a pole and measures<br />

2.7m high, 40cm higher<br />

than Ariel.<br />

Like the previous sculpture<br />

it is on loan and available for<br />

purchase, with a list price of<br />

$26,800.<br />

Lincoln University has<br />

a number of the late Llew<br />

Summers artworks, including an<br />

outdoor sculpture commissioned<br />

in 1992 by the university called<br />

Joy of Living.<br />

There is no confirmed date for<br />

the installation of Titan.<br />

‘Who’s going to stop them’:<br />

•From page 1<br />

Said Nord: “Where we have<br />

been made aware of it, we have<br />

worked with the dairy to support<br />

them.<br />

“We worked with them to help<br />

identify who the students might<br />

have been.”<br />

Nord said after the pupils have<br />

been identified, they are not punished<br />

by the school. The school<br />

leaves any disciplinary action to<br />

police.<br />

“It concerns us that there are<br />

students out there in our uniforms<br />

shoplifting . . . what they<br />

do outside of school is out of our<br />

control.”<br />

While the school doesn’t have<br />

any specific programmes focused<br />

on theft or shoplifting, Nord said<br />

they are covered in the school<br />

values.<br />

“We have strong values as far<br />

as our school vision and values<br />

go. Within that sits respect and<br />

around that is the conversations<br />

of what does that looks like.”<br />

The police data shows crime is<br />

up 42 per cent across the district.<br />

From February 2022 to March<br />

this year, there were 657 more<br />

crimes committed than in the<br />

previous 12 months.<br />

The Saparamadus say it’s time<br />

people realised there is a crime<br />

problem in the district and<br />

started talking about it, rather<br />

than just ignoring it.<br />

“We have to talk about – if we<br />

don’t who’s going to stop them,”<br />

Shehan said.<br />

They have signs throughout<br />

the store warning people if they<br />

are caught stealing, they will be<br />

banned.<br />

Since opening two years ago,<br />

the dairy has been ram-raided<br />

three times. After the most<br />

recent incident in August, the<br />

Government helped pay for extra<br />

security measures, including fog<br />

cannons and bollards.<br />

On May 30, a group tried to<br />

break into the store but could not<br />

get through the security doors<br />

and bars. They only managed to<br />

smash the glass.<br />

Shehan said, while the extra<br />

security was appreciated, he<br />

thought the money should have<br />

been spent on preventing crime<br />

in the first place.<br />

“It is just a band-aid and<br />

doesn’t solve the problem. The<br />

MESSAGE:<br />

This youth<br />

allegedly<br />

told Shamina<br />

Saparamadu<br />

he was going<br />

to ram-raid<br />

the dairy<br />

after being<br />

caught<br />

shoplifting.<br />

money should be spent on rehabilitation.”<br />

The Saparamadus said they<br />

really enjoy living in the community,<br />

and the people stealing only<br />

make up a very small percentage<br />

of those who visit the store.<br />

“We try to support our community<br />

as much as we can,”<br />

Shehan said.<br />

They also want to see more<br />

police patrolling the area. “We<br />

hardly see the local police. If<br />

they did patrol – an hourly patrol<br />

or something overnight – that<br />

would be good.”<br />

Since May 1, one officer is<br />

based at the Lincoln police station<br />

regularly, down from three<br />

following the introduction of the<br />

new 24-hour service model based<br />

out of the Rolleston station.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> Senior Sergeant Rachel<br />

Walker did not respond to questions<br />

relating to the increase in<br />

crime and police resourcing.<br />

More police patrols needed<br />

• By Daniel Alvey<br />

A RESIDENTS’ association<br />

wants more police patrols in the<br />

district following the increase in<br />

crime.<br />

Police data shows the crime<br />

rate rose by 42 per cent between<br />

February 28 last year and March<br />

1 compared to the previous 12<br />

months, with 657 more crimes<br />

committed over the last 12<br />

months.<br />

There was a 56<br />

per cent increase<br />

in assaults, a 48<br />

per cent increase<br />

in retail theft,<br />

a 59 per cent<br />

increase in vehicle<br />

Moneel<br />

Pratap<br />

break-ins, a 40<br />

per cent increase<br />

in theft (excluding<br />

vehicles), and a 13<br />

per cent rise in the number of<br />

burglaries.<br />

Rolleston Residents<br />

Association chair Moneel<br />

Pratap said the numbers are<br />

concerning.<br />

“It is definitely a concern to us,<br />

we should be the safest district<br />

in the country,” he said.<br />

“We have definitely seen<br />

the crime increasing . . . the<br />

residents are talking about it and<br />

we are seeing more reports of it<br />

on social media.”<br />

HAVE YOUR SAY: Share your views on crime in the district<br />

and whether there are enough police patrols. Send your<br />

responses in 200 words or less to daniel.alvey@starmedia.kiwi<br />

Pratap said he would like<br />

to see more police patrolling<br />

the streets, either on foot or in<br />

vehicles.<br />

“More walking patrols and<br />

patrol cars out and about would<br />

help.<br />

“I honestly have not seen an<br />

increase in patrol cars in the last<br />

couple of years.”<br />

The Rolleston Community<br />

Patrol was the second volunteerrun<br />

crime prevention group to<br />

be formed in the district, after<br />

the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Community Patrol.<br />

Rolleston Community Patrol<br />

leader Karen Evans said she has<br />

noticed the increase in crime<br />

around the district.<br />

“Like most Rolleston<br />

residents, we’ve noticed an<br />

increase in crime of all sorts,<br />

but especially car burglaries and<br />

vandalism,” Evans said.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> police moved to a 24-<br />

hour service model last month,<br />

which is expected to continue<br />

for a six-month trial period, and<br />

promised to put more police on<br />

the streets.<br />

Said Pratap: “We were really<br />

happy to see Rolleston go to<br />

24 hours. Because we are a<br />

population of 28,000 people so it<br />

only makes sense.”<br />

While many were happy to<br />

see extra police resourcing<br />

in the district, concerns were<br />

raised that some stations were<br />

short-staffed. After the changes<br />

were implemented, the Lincoln<br />

station went from having three<br />

officers to one, while Leeston<br />

went from three officers to two.<br />

Mayor Sam Broughton did not<br />

answer specific questions about<br />

the increase in crime or whether<br />

he was aware of it.<br />

He said public safety and<br />

security are a priority for the<br />

district council.<br />

“Our police do an incredible<br />

job and in response to<br />

our growth, they recently<br />

introduced a 24/7 public safety<br />

team supporting <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

communities,” Broughton said.<br />

“We continue to work closely<br />

with the police and ongoing<br />

collaboration is crucial in<br />

maintaining a safe and enjoyable<br />

community in <strong>Selwyn</strong>.”<br />

Crime rate<br />

on the rise<br />

– data<br />

From February 28, 2022,<br />

to March 31, there was:<br />

• A 56 per cent increase<br />

• By Daniel Alvey<br />

LINCOLN University students<br />

have taken online action to stop<br />

their end-of-lectures party being<br />

watered down.<br />

The annual Garden Party will<br />

be replaced with a new Lawn<br />

Party on October 20 – and only<br />

Lincoln students will be able to<br />

attend.<br />

Previous events have been<br />

open to anyone over 18,<br />

with many<br />

Canterbury<br />

University<br />

students<br />

attending.<br />

But in a video<br />

message to<br />

students, Lincoln<br />

University<br />

Students’ Association<br />

president<br />

Amy Wells said she was “gutted”<br />

to see the event changed.<br />

“Myself and the rest of the<br />

team have tried really hard to<br />

deliver the Garden Party that<br />

you know and love,” Wells said.<br />

She said due to factors outside<br />

of LUSA’s control, it had “been<br />

forced” to make changes to the<br />

event. Wells did not specify what<br />

factors had led to the changes.<br />

“We’re all disappointed about<br />

this and I’ve shed my fair share<br />

of tears.”<br />

In response to the announcement,<br />

Lincoln University student<br />

Reece Michelle started an<br />

online petition at Change.org to<br />

get the original event reinstated.<br />

The petition now has 1290 signatures.<br />

“This takes away the very essence<br />

of Garden Party as it was a<br />

chance for us to show our peers<br />

across the country what a good<br />

time really is,” Michelle wrote<br />

about the petition.<br />

“We feel, as a student body, we<br />

have been severely misrepresented<br />

and our student experience<br />

drastically depreciated.”<br />

Michelle said the event has<br />

become a staple of the student<br />

calendar. UC hosts a similar<br />

Crowley said the changes were<br />

more the university’s decision<br />

than LUSA’s.<br />

“Lincoln University has made<br />

this decision, we’re not going to<br />

question it.”<br />

A Lincoln University<br />

spokesperson would not say<br />

if it was their decision when<br />

contacted by the <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong>.<br />

“The Garden Party is a<br />

Lincoln University Students’<br />

Association (LUSA) event, run<br />

and managed by LUSA.<br />

“Please refer your query<br />

regarding their event to the<br />

LUSA team,” the spokesperson<br />

Fire service stalwart clocks up 50 years<br />

• By Daniel Alvey<br />

WHEN NEVILLE Carter first<br />

joined the fire service he just<br />

wanted to fight fires, but after 50<br />

years he has done much more<br />

than that.<br />

Carter, 67, joined the Southbridge<br />

Volunteer Fire Brigade in<br />

1973 as a 17-year-old.<br />

He followed in his father’s<br />

footsteps; Albert was one of the<br />

brigade’s founding members<br />

in 1948, after he returned from<br />

World War 2.<br />

“My father was a member for<br />

35 years,” said Carter.<br />

“As a young fella, I followed<br />

him around at functions and<br />

Christmas parties so I’ve always<br />

been lined up to join the brigade.”<br />

When Carter joined, the<br />

brigade was overseen by the<br />

Ellesmere County Council.<br />

The most significant change<br />

he has noticed in 50 years is the<br />

equipment.<br />

“When I joined there was no<br />

breathing apparatus so you just<br />

went into a house fire and hit the<br />

floor and fought the fire until<br />

you couldn’t breathe, then (you<br />

would) go out and come back in<br />

when you’d had a rest.”<br />

Without breathing apparatus,<br />

Carter was left to breathe in<br />

many unknown fumes.<br />

There was also no communication<br />

tools, like radios, or modern<br />

protection gear.<br />

“In those days you’d have<br />

gumboots, plastic leggings, a<br />

lancer jacket with a belt, a plastic<br />

helmet and gloves.”<br />

Carter said the pants would<br />

sometimes melt in the extreme<br />

heat.<br />

“There were a few times the<br />

pants would begin to melt onto<br />

your jeans.”<br />

Dealing with trauma is one of<br />

the harder things Carter has had<br />

to manage.<br />

“You just have to put it in the<br />

back of your mind and move on.<br />

“Take every incident as it<br />

comes and give it your best shot,<br />

put it in the back of your mind<br />

and move on to the next one,” he<br />

said.<br />

“I only joined the fire service<br />

to fight fires, but we do all these<br />

cardiac arrests, car accidents.”<br />

As a volunteer Carter would<br />

often miss spending time with<br />

his family.<br />

“You end up just about to go<br />

down the river for a swim on<br />

a hot nor’west day and the fire<br />

siren goes, and then I’m gone for<br />

a day or so.”<br />

A builder, Carter helped build<br />

the current Southbridge station<br />

in 20<strong>14</strong> where his old workshop<br />

was, after the brigade bought<br />

the land.<br />

He has also done work on<br />

other stations in <strong>Selwyn</strong> and<br />

SERVICE: Southbridge<br />

volunteer firefighter Neville<br />

Carter joined the brigade<br />

in 1973.<br />

Mid Canterbury.<br />

Like his son Dan, who played<br />

112 tests for the All Blacks,<br />

Carter has spent plenty of time<br />

on the rugby field.<br />

“I spent 10 years (1973-<br />

83) playing rugby with the<br />

Canterbury Fire Brigade Rugby<br />

team.”<br />

The Southbridge stalwart is<br />

now planning a step back from<br />

being on the front line. Carter<br />

will still remain in the brigade,<br />

but more on the operational<br />

support side and training new<br />

recruits.<br />

“I’d like to help the young<br />

fellas as much as I can because it<br />

can be quite demanding.”<br />

NEWS<br />

Wet weather can add to<br />

driving woes in winter<br />

NO MATTER where you live in Aotearoa,<br />

there are always going to be wet and rainy<br />

days. It is important to plan ahead, stay<br />

alert, slow down, and drop back.<br />

During winter, there isn’t as much<br />

sunlight and the frequency of rain usually<br />

increases, which makes driving difficult.<br />

Stopping distances nearly double on<br />

wet roads, and when combined with a<br />

decrease in visibility, it can be a recipe for<br />

disaster if motorists aren’t prepared.<br />

Before the wetter season arrives, check<br />

the tyres on your vehicle are correctly<br />

inflated, have plenty of tread and are<br />

fitted appropriately to give your vehicle<br />

maximum grip on the road. Motorists<br />

should also see if their windscreen wipers<br />

need replacing.<br />

It takes a lot longer to stop your vehicle<br />

in wet conditions, so increase your<br />

following distance between yourself and<br />

the vehicle in front of you and reduce<br />

speed. For example, the two-second rule<br />

should be a four-second rule when wet.<br />

Look out for any road signs warning of<br />

flooding and keep an eye on the road for<br />

excess surface water. It is also important<br />

to slow down when taking corners to<br />

avoid sliding into the other lane or off the<br />

road.<br />

With more moisture in the air, if you<br />

need to defog your windscreen, make sure<br />

to use both the heater and air conditioner,<br />

and turn off air recirculation, to keep the<br />

air dry and prevent your windscreen from<br />

fogging up even more.<br />

If it is raining, dip your headlights to<br />

make it easier for other road users to see<br />

you.<br />

Even though the weather is wet, it is still<br />

important to regularly clean your vehicle<br />

so water runs off the windscreen easier, to<br />

help improve visibility.<br />

ACTIVATION SPECTACULAR is under<br />

way at the <strong>Selwyn</strong> sports and aquatic<br />

centres.<br />

The <strong>Selwyn</strong> Sports Trust’s four-week<br />

programme has 2500 year 5, 6,<br />

7 and 8 pupils taking part in 20<br />

sports and physical activities on<br />

rotation at the two venues until<br />

next Friday.<br />

Said trust community activity<br />

and events manager Jacinda<br />

Valentine: “We’ve completely reimagined<br />

term 2 winter sport this<br />

year and put all activities under<br />

the roof at both the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Sports<br />

Centre and aquatics centre.<br />

“Both are such great facilities, it’s awesome<br />

seeing our young people experience<br />

what <strong>Selwyn</strong> has to offer and link with<br />

sport leads from around Canterbury.”<br />

Poor weather caused major disruptions<br />

to the trust’s winter sport programme<br />

last year with more than half the days<br />

cancelled. The trust decided to deliver the<br />

programme in doors this year to ensure<br />

the pupils from 12 schools wouldn’t miss<br />

out due to the weather.<br />

“We’ve had amazing support from the<br />

(district council), and a number of sport<br />

Jacinda<br />

Valentine<br />

and non-traditional sport providers, to<br />

be able to put the Spectacular together.<br />

Knowing that we can lock in all times and<br />

rotations without the risk of cancellation<br />

makes planning so much easier<br />

and our tamariki don’t miss out,”<br />

said Valentine.<br />

The programme offers traditional<br />

sports like golf, cricket,<br />

volleyball, hockey, badminton<br />

and water polo, plus other more<br />

unique offerings such as hungerball<br />

(modified football) and<br />

elastics.<br />

“From artistic gymnastics to<br />

ultimate frisbee, from life guarding<br />

to ki-o-rahi, we have made a real effort<br />

to include as many sports and physical<br />

activities as possible to allow our young<br />

people a real chance to try something new<br />

and have some fun.”<br />

The trust has added parasports, such as<br />

wheelchair basketball, seated volleyball,<br />

boccia and blind sports, to the programme<br />

and partnered with the Halberg<br />

Foundation, Parafed Canterbury and<br />

INCENTIVE: Giorgia Hickey with the prizes handed out to students who<br />

learned how change a tyre or jump-start a car.<br />

Flat tyre jump-starts<br />

project to teach<br />

basic auto skills<br />

CHANGING A TYRE probably wasn’t<br />

among the skills Giorgia Hickey thought<br />

she would learn at Lincoln University.<br />

The Bachelor of Viticulture and<br />

Oenology student was in a friend’s truck<br />

when it got a flat tyre – and she realised she<br />

“wasn’t too sure what to do”.<br />

But Hickey didn’t let the situation deflate<br />

her. Instead it jump-started the idea of<br />

teaching students’ basic auto-skills.<br />

As a future leaders scholar at the<br />

university, she works on beneficial projects<br />

for the community.<br />

With a team of five other scholars (Troy<br />

Volman, Brock Stuart, Charlie Ludbrook,<br />

Levi Astle and Anna Stuart), she decided to<br />

teach high school and university students<br />

“what to do” when their own vehicles’<br />

breakdown.<br />

“We headed to GB Motors in Sydenham<br />

and got taught how to change a tyre, jumpstart<br />

a car and check important things<br />

under your bonnet,” Hickey said.<br />

The team then shared their knowledge<br />

with Rolleston College students and on<br />

campus. Prizes were handed out to the<br />

winners of two car-related quizzes and for<br />

learning how to change a tyre and jump<br />

start a vehicle.<br />

“Alongside teaching the skills, we also<br />

created a booklet for students to aid in<br />

remembering these skills in the long term.<br />

“We also contacted local mechanics and<br />

vehicle-associated businesses, and got some<br />

awesome prizes, including emergency<br />

breakdown kits, car cleaning kits, WOF<br />

vouchers and much more,” Hickey said.<br />

The district council road safety team,<br />

VINZ Rolleston, Challenge Lincoln,<br />

Springston Auto and Rolleston Automotive<br />

helped out with the auto-skills programme.<br />

“Overall I heard students enjoyed it and<br />

learnt something new. Most that attended<br />

had not known these skills.”<br />

Hickey said when the students encounter<br />

a problem with their vehicles, they won’t<br />

find themselves in the position she was in<br />

when her friend’s truck got a flat tyre.<br />

Legal Matters<br />

A Due Review - The<br />

Retirement Villages Act<br />

The Retirement Commission is<br />

required to monitor the effects<br />

of the Retirement Villages Act<br />

2003 (the Act), its Regulations,<br />

and the Retirement Villages Code<br />

of Practice 2008. This process<br />

is well underway following the<br />

release of a White Paper by the<br />

CFFC (Commission for Financial<br />

Capability – sometimes known<br />

as the industry’s “regulatory<br />

watchdog”). The White Paper<br />

recommended that a full policy<br />

review should be undertaken to<br />

analyse future trends, consider<br />

if protections are adequate and<br />

able to adapt to change, and to<br />

investigate different models. The<br />

common “license to occupy” model<br />

has long been the dominant one<br />

and precedes the Act and Code<br />

which were largely drafted with<br />

this model in mind.<br />

The Ministry of Housing and Urban<br />

Development is now working<br />

with the retirement sector on<br />

reviewing the Retirement Villages<br />

Act. The purpose of the Act is to<br />

protect the interests of residents<br />

and intending residents; and<br />

to enable retirement villages to<br />

develop under a legal framework<br />

that is simple for residents and<br />

village operators to understand.<br />

The review is expected to consider<br />

whether or not the current<br />

legislation, associated Codes, and<br />

Regulations remain fit for purpose<br />

to ensure:<br />

1. Suitable protections for<br />

residents of retirement villages<br />

and intending residents;<br />

2. A balance is struck between the<br />

responsibilities and rights of the<br />

residents and operations of the<br />

retirement villages; and<br />

3. The future viability of the<br />

retirement village sector and<br />

its ability to provide a range of<br />

retirement housing options.<br />

The review isn’t limited to existing<br />

and intending residents. It is<br />

expected the review will consider<br />

the rights of exiting residents.<br />

The assistance we offer to exiting<br />

residents and their families is<br />

no less important. We expect<br />

the review to consider minimum<br />

standards with regard to the<br />

termination of weekly fees once<br />

the dwelling is vacant; the resale<br />

and return to the resident of the<br />

capital; and the treatment of the<br />

deferred management fee and<br />

capital gains and losses.<br />

It has been almost 20 years since a<br />

review of the Act was undertaken.<br />

We consider this timely and look<br />

forward to the discussion paper<br />

which should be released in<br />

September.<br />

We are passionate about this area<br />

of the law, with many existing,<br />

intending and exiting resident<br />

clients. Get in contact if we can be<br />

of any assistance to you.<br />

Surprise over Government<br />

decision not to fund flood<br />

prevention plan<br />

Environment<br />

Canterbury Chair<br />

Peter Scott<br />

I AM FEELING deflated and<br />

disappointed by the lack of Government<br />

foresight and investment in flood<br />

protection for our region.<br />

As the regional council in New Zealand’s<br />

largest region, it feels like we are<br />

being neglected when it comes to futureproofing<br />

Canterbury. I know others feel<br />

the same.<br />

That’s not to say support isn’t needed<br />

for areas badly impacted by Cyclone<br />

Gabrielle – we received considerable support<br />

during the earthquake recovery, so<br />

we know the response up north is critical<br />

– however, to not invest in protection of<br />

other at-risk areas in Waitaha is shortsighted.<br />

Flooding is the number one natural<br />

disaster in New Zealand and, with the<br />

impacts of climate change becoming<br />

more significant and frequent, we are at<br />

risk here in Canterbury.<br />

Along with other regional councils,<br />

Environment Canterbury made a joint<br />

submission to the Government asking for<br />

co-investment in a major flood protection<br />

programme. Our proposal was for<br />

central and local governments to coinvest<br />

$257 million over the next three<br />

years, to fund 92 urgent flood protection<br />

projects across Aotearoa.<br />

We have been asking central<br />

Government to co-invest with us in<br />

flood prevention measures and river<br />

management since 1989, however it<br />

has been ratepayers across the country<br />

footing the bill.<br />

The recent devastation of Cyclone<br />

Gabrielle could happen anywhere in the<br />

South Island, and we shouldn’t wait for<br />

that to happen before taking action. Prevention<br />

is still better than a cure.<br />

We thought we had a strong case for<br />

funding in the <strong>2023</strong> Budget, especially<br />

given what’s at risk if there is significant<br />

flooding along our 78,000 kilometres<br />

of river systems. That includes national<br />

assets such as Waka Kotahi NZ Transport<br />

Agency roads, KiwiRail bridges that run<br />

near rivers, power and internet infrastructure<br />

– which would all be impacted,<br />

and disrupt our supply chains in the<br />

event of another major flood event.<br />

And that doesn’t factor in our ongoing<br />

ability to live in some areas, or people’s<br />

ability to get insurance or how events<br />

might impact on premiums – a sad<br />

reality that some families in the badly<br />

affected areas in the North Island are<br />

grappling with.<br />

I am hoping this decision by the<br />

Government isn’t final. I will be working<br />

over the coming days and weeks with my<br />

regional colleagues around the country<br />

to make sure our concerns are heard in<br />

Wellington.<br />

BACKYARD CRITTERS<br />

Thousands of fly<br />

species living in NZ<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 />

FLIES ARE everywhere –<br />

and just as well really.<br />

They perform a lot<br />

of useful ecosystem<br />

services like pollination,<br />

decomposition of plant,<br />

animal and fungal<br />

material, and biological<br />

control of pest species.<br />

Roughly 5500 endemic<br />

Diptera or flies are found<br />

in New Zealand.<br />

In comparison, I’ve only<br />

found 62 fly species in our<br />

Lincoln backyard, which<br />

are a mixture of exotic,<br />

native and endemic species.<br />

One of these, the<br />

false stable fly, Muscina<br />

stabulans, is a species that<br />

could easily be mistaken<br />

with the house fly, given<br />

they are in the same family.<br />

Muscina stabulans is,<br />

however, a little larger at<br />

8mm and has four dark<br />

stripes along its thorax.<br />

This species has a close<br />

ecological association<br />

LANDING: The false stable fly, Muscina stabulans,<br />

has a close ecological association with humans.<br />

with humans, known as<br />

synanthropy, so has a<br />

cosmopolitan distribution.<br />

Larvae or maggots of<br />

this species are 6-7mm by<br />

1-1.5mm and whitish in<br />

colour.<br />

They feed on various<br />

kinds of decomposing<br />

organic matter, including<br />

carrion, faeces, fungi, and<br />

fruit. There have been rare<br />

cases of myiasis where<br />

larvae of this species have<br />

been found in intestines of<br />

humans, but on the whole,<br />

the false stable fly does a<br />

great job of cleaning up<br />

dead, decaying matter in<br />

our environment.<br />

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

Prebbleton finally get shot<br />

at Combined Country title<br />

• By Jaime Cunningham<br />

FOR THE first time in the<br />

club’s history, Prebbleton have a<br />

chance to win the Luisetti Seeds<br />

Combined Country title when<br />

they take on Ashburton Celtic<br />

on Saturday.<br />

Prebbleton made their first<br />

combined final with a 15-10 win<br />

over Waihora at the weekend,<br />

while the Magpies suffered semifinal<br />

heartbreak for the second<br />

year in a row.<br />

The final will be played at<br />

Prebbleton Domain as it was<br />

Ellesmere’s turn to host it.<br />

Celtic overcame Kaiapoi 23-21<br />

after a nail-biting second half to<br />

make the final.<br />

But it was a familiar semi-final<br />

ending for Waihora, who narrowly<br />

lost to Prebbleton in last<br />

year’s Coleman Shield semi-final<br />

28-27 after a Ted Coleman penalty<br />

in the dying minutes.<br />

Prebbleton managed a late try<br />

in the first half to go into the<br />

break leading 7-0. Waihora’s<br />

only try came from an intercept<br />

by winger Josh Brown. Another<br />

Prebbleton try soon followed to<br />

put the home side up by 15-10.<br />

Prebbleton head coach Simon<br />

Fitzgerald said it was a tight<br />

battle and both teams failed to<br />

capitalise on all their chances.<br />

“We made errors, which let the<br />

opposition back into the game,<br />

and gave away 17 penalties while<br />

Waihora gave away seven.”<br />

Waihora dominated periods<br />

of the semi-final, but head coach<br />

Ross Soper said they failed<br />

to make the most of it when<br />

needed.<br />

“We kept making mistakes at<br />

the wrong times and had the opportunity<br />

to win the game with a<br />

try in the corner, but the ball was<br />

fumbled, which was the story of<br />

the day,” Soper said.<br />

Prebbleton’s defence has been<br />

integral this season and ultimately<br />

won them the semi-final.<br />

Said Fitzgerald: “It was an<br />

incredible defensive effort, with<br />

about 200 tackles made at a 90<br />

per cent completion rate.”<br />

He said they will need to<br />

improve their lineouts, set pieces<br />

and maintain their strong defence<br />

against Celtic.<br />

“The focus is just on us.<br />

“Celtic will stick to their<br />

processes and hold on to the ball,<br />

but we’ll look to grind out on<br />

defence.”<br />

While Prebbleton will have<br />

the luxury of playing at home<br />

again, Celtic will make the 75km<br />

journey from Ashburton.<br />

Fitzgerald said playing the<br />

team’s first combined final at<br />

home will be a “bonus”.<br />

“Our supporters have been<br />

great all year,” he said.<br />

Waihora now turn their focus<br />

to winning the Coleman Shield<br />

for the first time since 2018, with<br />

a week off before they take on<br />

Lincoln-Rolleston on <strong>June</strong> 20.<br />

Both Prebbleton and Waihora<br />

have recorded maximum points<br />

so far.<br />

The remaining Ellesmere<br />

teams go into a rest week after<br />

playing each other in playoff<br />

games on Saturday. West Melton<br />

overcame a 7-5 halftime deficit<br />

to take out ninth place over Darfield<br />

at Glentunnel Domain, 22-<br />

21. West Melton overcame a 7-5<br />

halftime deficit to beat Darfield<br />

22-21 at Glentunnel Domain and<br />

take out ninth place.<br />

Darfield will have an opportunity<br />

to get one back over West<br />

Melton next month when the<br />

two teams face off in a Coleman<br />

Shield round robin match.<br />

Southbridge thumped Lincoln-<br />

Rolleston 76-12 to take out 15th<br />

place. Springston grinded out a<br />

36-27 win over Hornby to finish<br />

17th.<br />

The Coleman Shield round<br />

robin continues on <strong>June</strong> 24.<br />

The final between Prebbleton<br />

and Ashburton Celtic starts at<br />

2.45pm. The game is expected<br />

Help us find the family<br />

of Margaret McNeally<br />

We’re looking to reunite the memorial to a young woman with her family and solve<br />

a <strong>14</strong>8-year-old mystery.<br />

Margaret McNeally was 12 years-old when she died on 20 April 1875, she was<br />

buried in Springston Cemetery and her family placed a wooden marker over her<br />

grave to remember her.<br />

Almost 150 years later that headstone was discovered by Council staff damaged<br />

and in a patch of bushes at Springston Cemetery. The headstone has been stored<br />

by the Council and we are hoping to reunite it with the family.<br />

Council Information Management Council Information Management Advisor<br />

Leanne Page says the Council would love to get it back to the family.<br />

“We don’t know much about this young lady, but if anyone’s out there from her<br />

relatives we’d love to get this back to them, to help commemorate their relative.<br />

Wooden headstones are rare in our cemeteries so this is a special piece historically,<br />

but most importantly it’s a memory of a precious young woman and we’d like to see<br />

them reunited.”<br />

Anyone who believes they may be a relative of Margaret McNeally,<br />

or have further information about finding her family<br />

can contact us on information.management@selwyn.govt.nz<br />

or give us a call on 0800 SELWYN (735 996).<br />

Work going well to preserve rare<br />

native species<br />

A major weed control project in Rakaia Gorge is progressing well, with some<br />

impressive gains in the first 12 months.<br />

The four-year operation will help protect native biodiversity and significant<br />

ecosystems with well over 12,000 cherries and sycamore controlled in the<br />

2022 season.<br />

The project is a collaboration between the Council, Environment Canterbury,<br />

landowners, Manawa Energy’s Rakaia Fund — administered by the Rakaia<br />

Catchment Environmental Enhancement Society, and Toitū Te Whenua Land<br />

Information New Zealand.<br />

Ashburton District Council has also contributed by removing several old-man<br />

pines to curtail wilding spread into the<br />

wider project area.<br />

The team has used high-tech drone and<br />

GPS technology to survey the area, and<br />

plan and track work in the hazardous<br />

steep terrain and bluffs of the Gorge.<br />

Council project lead Andy Spanton says<br />

the hard-work of the first year will give<br />

the team essential information to guide<br />

the future work.<br />

An ecological assessment of the gorge<br />

in 2019 found at least 16 threatened and at-risk native plant species, including<br />

Canterbury pink broom and rōhutu/myrtle — both nationally critical — along<br />

with others that are regionally uncommon.<br />

Landowner David Harper said he’s proud to be involved and is grateful to<br />

everyone involved.<br />

"The Rakaia Gorge holds a special place in our hearts. We feel very excited<br />

that this is just the beginning of looking after this very important place. This<br />

will be something that future generations will carry forward."<br />

Plan to transform drains to streams takes<br />

next step<br />

A plan to reimagine drains and transform them into streams along the Ararira<br />

catchment has reached a key milestone.<br />

Started in 2013, Living Water (a partnership between the Department of<br />

Conservation and Fonterra) was an ambitious plan to reimagine the 76kms<br />

of council drains and a similar length of private drains in the Ararira/LII<br />

catchment, from traditional mostly straight drains, with steep banks,<br />

into streams.<br />

A ceremony has been held recently to mark the end of work by the Living<br />

Water programme and a hand over to the Council of the vision to continue<br />

transforming the streams. The ceremony included other key stakeholders and<br />

contributors to this programme; representatives from Te Taumutu Rūnanga,<br />

Environment Canterbury, and the LII Drainage Committee, supported by<br />

consultants Aqualinc, EOS Ecology and Cawthron Institute.<br />

Together the group produced a high-level Catchment Management Plan and<br />

Implementation Guide, capturing the vision of the project and how it could be<br />

implemented both in the Ararira/LII catchment and across our district.<br />

The Council is now working through the plans and how it can continue the<br />

work, rethinking the drains to be streams, support the land and gain better<br />

ecological outcomes.<br />

Disposing of hot ashes safely<br />

A warm fire in the fireplace is one of the best things about winter, but without care it can quickly<br />

become a hazard. One of the easiest ways fires start is not disposing properly of hot ashes. Ashes<br />

can stay hot long after a fire has gone out and they can and do start fires in household rubbish bins.<br />

Hot ashes have also started fires in rubbish trucks and transfer stations.<br />

Always remember — bucket, bag it and bin it.<br />

• Using a small metal shovel, scoop ash from your fireplace into a metal bucket with a lid. It's<br />

really important that you only use a metal bucket or container and not something that could<br />

easily catch fire from any residual heat left in the ashes such as plastic or cardboard.<br />

• Take the bucket outside, away from any buildings, and douse with water.<br />

• Leave to cool for at least 5 days.<br />

Once the ash has been safely cooled you can use it sparingly in your garden by spreading thinly<br />

over your lawn or stirring thoroughly into your home compost pile, or empty the cold ash into a<br />

rubbish bag and place it into your rubbish bin. Please do not place ash into your recycling or<br />

organics bin.<br />

Dispose of hot ash safely<br />

FIRST<br />

Bucket and soak it<br />

THEN<br />

Spread on your garden<br />

OR<br />

Bag it and bin it<br />

Hot ash can<br />

cause bin and<br />

truck fires<br />

High school student blazes<br />

trail in top grade netball<br />

• By Jaime Cunningham<br />

WHEN TYLA Hira stepped<br />

on court five weeks ago, the<br />

trailblazing player wrote himself<br />

into the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Netball Centre’s<br />

history books.<br />

The 16-year-old Lincoln High<br />

student became the first male to<br />

play in the premier 1 grade, six<br />

years after he took up the sport<br />

because his older sister Bobbie<br />

played.<br />

Hira can be found playing<br />

alongside Bobbie for Halswell<br />

Rugby League A. He typically<br />

plays in the goal shoot bib but<br />

has the versatility to play in any<br />

position.<br />

Hira played football growing<br />

up, but now admits he “can’t<br />

kick a ball to save himself”.<br />

“I played football from when I<br />

was three (and) got into my first<br />

netball team in year 6 because<br />

my sister played and never really<br />

played football again,” he said.<br />

Hira made his way up the<br />

senior grades at <strong>Selwyn</strong> and is<br />

in his first season playing for the<br />

Halswell Rugby League Netball<br />

Club.<br />

The young team are new<br />

to the premier grade, but the<br />

opposition players and coaches<br />

are aware of Hira’s athleticism<br />

and talent.<br />

“It’s scary because people<br />

know how to set up on me<br />

straight away,” Hira said.<br />

“They’ve heard about me and<br />

know how I play.”<br />

Hira was <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s first male<br />

representative player when<br />

he took the court for the<br />

district’s under-16 B team at the<br />

Tupuranga tournament over<br />

King’s Birthday weekend.<br />

The number of males playing<br />

at <strong>Selwyn</strong> Netball Centre has<br />

continually grown each year.<br />

This season, there are 57 male<br />

players in all grades across the<br />

17 clubs.<br />

Last week the <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong><br />

reported on the first all boys<br />

team, the ‘Westie Wekas’. The<br />

seven-boy team play on Monday<br />

nights at the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Sports<br />

Centre in the year 3 and 4<br />

FutureFerns grade.<br />

Male players can take part in<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong>’s year 1-8 grades, but at<br />

senior level clubs are required<br />

to seek a dispensation before<br />

confirming any male player’s<br />

position in the team. Hira has<br />

had to get a dispensation for the<br />

last four years.<br />

“It’s really cool. I’ve always been<br />

the only boy playing growing up<br />

TEAM:<br />

Halswell<br />

Rugby<br />

League<br />

A goal<br />

shooter Tyla<br />

Hira is the<br />

first male<br />

to play in<br />

the <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

premier 1<br />

grade.<br />

so it’s awesome to see.”<br />

On Friday nights, Hira plays<br />

for Suburbs in the Christchurch<br />

men’s A grade. It’s his second<br />

season playing men’s netball.<br />

“The physicality and pace is<br />

a lot more intense in the men’s<br />

grade, while out here at <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

it’s a lot more about structure,”<br />

he said.<br />

Playing in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> premier<br />

grade was an unexpected<br />

surprise for Hira. He only<br />

trialled for HRLNC because his<br />

sister was also trying out for the<br />

team after she left school and<br />

could no longer play for Lincoln<br />

High.<br />

Hira stayed and to the<br />

surprise of many HRLNC have<br />

already won two games this<br />

season, one of which was a 41-40<br />

comeback win over Burnham B<br />

in round 5.<br />

“We were hoping to make<br />

premier 2 after grading day, but<br />

expected premier 3,” he said.<br />

“But I’m really enjoying it. I<br />

just love it.”<br />

Burnham chasing sixth win in a row<br />

• By Jaime Cunningham<br />

BURNHAM A will be in search<br />

of their sixth consecutive win<br />

of the season when they take on<br />

West Melton A tomorrow night.<br />

The unbeaten defending<br />

champions carried on their<br />

sensational form in the last game<br />

of the first round on Thursday<br />

with a 45-30 win over West<br />

Melton, in which they never<br />

seemed particularly challenged.<br />

Burnham got away to a strong<br />

start, leading West Melton <strong>14</strong>-5<br />

after the first quarter. West<br />

Melton were unable to keep up<br />

with the slick attack and have<br />

yet to back up their 49-38 week<br />

2 victory over Halswell Rugby<br />

League A with another win.<br />

West Melton will need to be<br />

more accurate on attack and get<br />

off to a far stronger start to even<br />

come close to beating Burnham.<br />

Halswell Rugby League<br />

will look to record their third<br />

consecutive win against<br />

Greenpark A tomorrow after a<br />

41-40 win over Burnham B last<br />

week.<br />

The young team turned<br />

around a 35-29 third quarter<br />

deficit in a calm and composed<br />

final 12 minutes in a messy<br />

game.<br />

Halswell Rugby League coach<br />

Denise Geayley said the team<br />

talked about enjoying the game<br />

at the third quarter break and<br />

finishing strongly.<br />

“We made a number of<br />

changes to create stronger<br />

movements in the goal third,<br />

A goal<br />

attack<br />

Laura<br />

Mulcay’s<br />

shot.<br />

treasured possession more<br />

and provided better ball to our<br />

shooters,” she said.<br />

“The whole team applied more<br />

defensive pressure creating<br />

valuable turnovers which were<br />

successfully converted.”<br />

Sisters Leah and Alisha<br />

Robinson stood out for Burnham<br />

B. But the team’s turnovers<br />

and poor passing cost them the<br />

game.<br />

Burnham B have now dropped<br />

to premier 2 as a result of<br />

finishing last, while last year’s<br />

premier 2 winners, Malvern A,<br />

will start their premier campaign<br />

against Greenpark B tomorrow.<br />

Unbeaten in premier 2,<br />

Malvern go into the match<br />

following a 33-33 draw against<br />

Rolleston A, and will want to<br />

make their mark in their first<br />

premier 1 game.<br />

Greenpark B are coming off a<br />

35-34 loss to Lincoln A last week.<br />

While Greenpark won the last<br />

quarter of the game 10-4, their<br />

slow start cost them the game.<br />

LINCOLN HIGH are set to<br />

start their premiership football<br />

campaign with a Challenge<br />

Shield match against St Thomas’<br />

of Canterbury College tonight.<br />

Although not usually a<br />

celebrated result, Lincoln’s 1-1<br />

draw against St Andrew’s College<br />

saw the team gain promotion<br />

to the top eight grade on points<br />

differential last week.<br />

St Thomas are yet to lose a<br />

match or the shield this season<br />

and finished top of pool B, while<br />

Lincoln qualified fourth from<br />

pool A.<br />

In Brief<br />

EX-SELWYN DEFENDER<br />

NAMED IN ALL WHITES<br />

Former <strong>Selwyn</strong> United defender<br />

Finn Surman has been called<br />

into the All Whites squad to face<br />

Sweden on Saturday following<br />

his performance at the FIFA<br />

under-20 World Cup. He was<br />

the only uncapped player named<br />

in the 23-man squad to also<br />

take on Qatar on Tuesday. The<br />

19-year-old captained the Junior<br />

All Whites at the World Cup<br />

in Argentina, where they were<br />

knocked out by the United States<br />

in the round of 16 on May 30.<br />

Going into their final round<br />

robin match, Lincoln had to either<br />

win or draw to progress due<br />

to their positive goal differential,<br />

which was significantly better<br />

than St Andrew’s.<br />

Lincoln were able to score first,<br />

with Cam Cotton netting the<br />

first goal of the match to put his<br />

side up for majority of the game.<br />

St Andrew’s scored an equalizer<br />

in the second half, but<br />

Lincoln fought hard on defence<br />

to prevent St Andrew’s from<br />

finding the back of the net<br />

again, propelling Lincoln into<br />

WAIHORA KNOCKED<br />

OUT OF U85KG CUP<br />

Waihora have been<br />

knocked out of the<br />

under-85kg National<br />

Club Cup South Island<br />

competition after they<br />

were beaten 37-7 to High<br />

School Old Boys. Despite a<br />

better second half, Waihora<br />

could not come back from a<br />

20-0 halftime deficit last week.<br />

HSOB will take on Southern<br />

or Kaikorai in the third round<br />

of the national knockout<br />

tournament.<br />

the premiership. Both Lincoln<br />

and St Andrew’s were on seven<br />

points with two wins, a draw and<br />

three losses following the game,<br />

but Lincoln’s goal differential<br />

saw the underdogs progress to<br />

the Connetics school premiership<br />

for the first time in three<br />

years.<br />

They will play six more round<br />

robin games in the premiership<br />

before the finals take place in<br />

August.<br />

Lincoln v St Thomas starts<br />

at 6.05pm at the United Sports<br />

Centre in Russley.<br />

Jones Road and Industrial Zone<br />

Your local one-stop costume<br />

and event hire shop<br />

Are you the type of person who panics at the<br />

thought of a fancy dress or themed party with<br />

nothing to wear and lacking ideas? Perhaps you’re<br />

in charge of a 60th birthday celebration and<br />

want it to look fantastic? Don’t worry; Rolleston<br />

Costume and Event Hire at 18 Freight Drive,<br />

Rolleston, has a stress-free solution for every<br />

occasion.<br />

What started as a business operating out of<br />

a home’s single garage eleven years ago has<br />

now grown into a well-established company in<br />

a purpose-built shop in Rolleston. Deborah,<br />

Rolleston Costume and Event Hire owner, and<br />

seven staff members ensure plenty of choices<br />

when hiring or buying quality costumes, props<br />

and event items, boutique dresses, graduation<br />

caps and gowns, backdrops, archways, large floral<br />

numbers, helium balloons and many other effects.<br />

A large part of the shop’s success is that the<br />

team have worked out what goes best to complete<br />

the outfit. So, when hiring a costume, you get<br />

the clothing and the accessories that go with<br />

that outfit for the one price. The costumes are a<br />

mix of quality original clothing, imported outfits<br />

and even handmade costumes from small to<br />

plus sizes. Deborah likes different and original<br />

things and always looks for new ideas, saying,<br />

“It’s a bit addictive: there’s always something else.”<br />

Accessories, including wigs, jewellery, makeup<br />

and contact lenses, are also for sale.<br />

Deborah and the staff enjoy helping people<br />

feel happy with what they have chosen, so their<br />

costume plays a key part in them having a great<br />

time. She says, “Sometimes when people come in,<br />

they are not very enthusiastic about going to an<br />

event, but by the time they leave, they are looking<br />

forward to it.”<br />

Whether you want to go dressed as a liquorice<br />

allsorts, one of the minions, a Halloween<br />

character, or dress from the popular eras of the<br />

20s, 60s 70s, you’re sure to find the perfect outfit.<br />

However, if they haven’t got something you are<br />

looking for, let the team know, and they can<br />

sometimes source or make a costume for you.<br />

Give your event that unique touch with props<br />

or backdrops to suit the occasion. Rolleston<br />

Costume and Event Hire also have an upcoming<br />

loyalty program for regular customers, so watch<br />

for details.<br />

Visit Rolleston Costume and Event Hire at<br />

18 Freight Drive, Iport, Rolleston, or www.<br />

EMBRACE THE COLD<br />

AND SELL YOUR<br />

HOME THIS WINTER<br />

Reasons to sell now<br />

properties on the market, resulting<br />

in more opportunity to make your<br />

property stand out.<br />

• Some houses show better in winter,<br />

exuding a cosy atmosphere that<br />

attracts buyers.<br />

• Winter buyers are often highly<br />

motivated, leading to more successful<br />

transactions.<br />

• The location of the property remains<br />

important regardless of the season.<br />

Your guide to all things Real Estate<br />

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

Pet havens in your home<br />

New Zealand has one of the highest<br />

pet ownership rates in the world, with<br />

approximately 64% of households<br />

owning a pet. Whether your pet is mostly<br />

indoors or spends time outside, set up<br />

your home so pets feel safe and happy.<br />

Cats<br />

Creating a cat-friendly home can<br />

include a purpose-built outdoor catio<br />

or specific small indoor spaces that<br />

appeal to cats. Catios are a fantastic way<br />

to ensure that cats can safely enjoy the<br />

outdoors while protecting our birds and<br />

wildlife. The structures can be added to<br />

your patio, deck or backyard with a cat<br />

door entrance through a window, wall or<br />

door. They can be purchased ready-to-go<br />

or constructed in various sizes and prices<br />

for your needs.<br />

Cats love to survey what is happening<br />

around them, so having a vertical<br />

platform up high is an easy way to<br />

keep your cat happy. Whether it is a cat<br />

tree, shelves or a cat bridge cat, these<br />

structures provide exercise for indoor<br />

cats and give a choice of spaces. Extra<br />

spaces are essential in a household with<br />

more than one cat. An easy solution is a<br />

bookcase or shelf near a window offering<br />

vertical space and a view outside.<br />

Avoid frustrating cat scratches on your<br />

furniture by placing horizontal, vertical,<br />

and inclined cat scratching posts in areas<br />

where your cats prefer being.<br />

Litter trays should be in a private, quiet<br />

area away from where cats eat and drink.<br />

Dogs<br />

Ensuring your dog is comfortable,<br />

relaxed and not barking, especially when<br />

you are not present, is vital for your<br />

peace of mind and maintaining a good<br />

relationship with your neighbours. Keep<br />

your dog safely contained and able to run<br />

around outside within secure fencing,<br />

with ready access to food, water, and<br />

shelter from the elements.<br />

Consider your flooring choice, as<br />

hardwood flooring can be difficult<br />

for dogs to walk on and may easily be<br />

damaged by their toenails. Instead, wood<br />

laminate, ceramic tiles and concrete are<br />

durable and easily cleaned, while rugs and<br />

dog beds provide comfort and warmth.<br />

Keep food and water bowls in a quiet<br />

area that can be easily cleaned,<br />

Personal spaces and crates for dogs,<br />

including under stairs, are a great idea<br />

for training and can reduce anxiety.<br />

Combining a console table and pet crate<br />

in one is a popular option. You can<br />

display items on top, out of the way of an<br />

exuberant dog or a wagging tail.<br />

Finally, having ramps or steps available<br />

is helpful for pets that are allowed a spot<br />

on a couch or bed<br />

and find climbing<br />

difficult. Our furry<br />

friends deserve to be<br />

comfortable and safe,<br />

so take the time to<br />

consider their needs<br />

and make your home<br />

a pet haven.<br />
