‘Unstable’<br />
land cited<br />
as reason<br />
for delay<br />
in school<br />
rebuild<br />
• By Daniel Alvey<br />
ELLESMERE College has been<br />
shocked by the Minister of<br />
Education’s response to their<br />
delayed rebuild.<br />
In May, the college learned the<br />
original $30 million upgrade had<br />
ballooned to nearly $63 million<br />
and would now come in a staged<br />
project, which would not be completed<br />
until at least 2028.<br />
The upgrade was for two<br />
learning hubs (35 classrooms), a<br />
new auditorium, library and an<br />
administration block.<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> MP Nicola Grigg asked<br />
Education Minster Jan Tinetti<br />
in Parliament why the school’s<br />
upgrade had been delayed.<br />
In response<br />
Tinetti said:<br />
“Ellesmere College<br />
is sitting on<br />
some land that is<br />
unstable that was<br />
unknown about at<br />
the time and having<br />
said that this is<br />
Jan Tinetti<br />
my understanding of what I have<br />
been told and therefore the costs<br />
have ballooned.”<br />

RATEPAYERS have forked<br />
out almost $18,000 to repaint<br />
Springfield’s donut over the past<br />
two-and-a-half years.<br />
And that cost will be even<br />
more, because another repaint is<br />
planned for this summer.<br />
Springfield Community<br />
Association chair Graeme<br />
Dawson said the problem was<br />
an ongoing issue that needed a<br />
better solution.<br />
“The paint they put on it<br />
doesn’t work, and it lasts three<br />
months. It’s a bit sad really.”<br />
Dawson said they want a<br />
solution to the paint issues that<br />
is going to last.<br />
“It’s the council spending<br />
ratepayers’ money.”<br />
The donut has been repainted<br />
four times since 2020 at a cost<br />
of $17,864.57 and will likely be<br />
repainted again over summer,<br />
but this time the district council<br />
believes it will last.<br />
“The nature of the donut<br />
and its construction presents<br />
challenges for maintenance,<br />
and we have reviewed the whole<br />
process around painting the<br />
donut including preparation,<br />
epoxy and paint products, to put<br />
together a plan for repainting<br />
the donut this financial year,”<br />
said district<br />
council reserves<br />
operations<br />
manager<br />
Jonathan<br />
Crawford.<br />
“This<br />
work will be<br />
completed when<br />

“It does attract a lot of people<br />

The original donut was only<br />

School makes tracking<br />
attendance easier<br />
• By Daniel Alvey<br />
A NEW attendance system is<br />
helping parents track whether<br />
their children are showing up for<br />
class.<br />
This term Ellesmere College<br />
implemented a new attendance<br />
system where once a week<br />
parents or caregivers receive an<br />
email with all the classes the<br />
student has attended or been<br />
absent from.<br />
Principal Ronan Bass said he’s<br />
already received positive feedback<br />
on the system.<br />
“We have had lots of positive<br />
feedback from parents. It’s one<br />
less thing for parents to think<br />
about, logging in to check their<br />
child’s attendance.”<br />
Like many schools, parents<br />
could already check attendance<br />
by logging into the online portal<br />
Kamar. Bass said the new system<br />
is designed to make it easier and<br />
more convenient for parents to<br />
access attendance records.<br />
Schools have come under increasing<br />
pressure by the Ministry<br />
of Education to solve the national<br />
attendance crisis.<br />
The ministry defines regular<br />
attendance as being over 90<br />
per cent attendance, irregular<br />
NEW SYSTEM: Ellesmere College has started emailing<br />
parents weekly attendance records.<br />
absence as being between 80-90<br />
per cent attendance, moderate<br />
absence as being between 70-80<br />
per cent attendance and<br />
chronic absence as below 70<br />
per cent.<br />
Bass said overall the attendance<br />
numbers at the school<br />
are above average, despite the<br />
disruptions caused by Covid and<br />
recent teacher strikes. This term<br />
the average attendance rate is<br />
79.5 per cent.<br />
“It has been a quite settled start<br />
to the term . . . I’m quite pleased<br />
by the vast majority of our students<br />
who have quite high levels<br />
of attendance,” he said.<br />
The most recent Education<br />
Counts attendance report from<br />
term one of this year said Canterbury<br />
had the second highest<br />
average attendance rates at 63.2<br />
per cent, 0.1 per cent behind<br />
Auckland.<br />
Elsewhere in the district,<br />
Darfield High School sends<br />
an attendance report every<br />
fortnight, Rolleston College<br />
sends a letter to parents only<br />
when a student’s attendance<br />
drops below 90 per cent, and<br />
Lincoln High School sends<br />
a monthly report to parents<br />
that includes an attendance<br />
percentage.<br />
Minister’s response<br />
‘quite a shock’<br />
• From page 1<br />
Ellesmere<br />
principal Ronan<br />
Bass said Tinetti’s<br />
answer “came as<br />
quite a shock”.<br />
“It was the first<br />
time that the word<br />
‘unstable’ has ever<br />
been used,” Bass<br />
said.<br />
Ronan<br />
Bass<br />
Bass did not believe the ground<br />
was unstable.<br />
“Our buildings have been<br />
sitting there for 40 years so<br />
we would be well aware if the<br />
ground is unstable or not.<br />
“What we are aware of is that<br />
there is excess groundwater . .<br />
. that is one of the holdups, we<br />
have always known the water<br />
table in the area is really high.<br />
“We did make the ministry<br />
well aware of this from day one<br />
that it could be a potential issue.”<br />
The <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> asked Tinetti<br />
to elaborate on her response,<br />
but she did not provide specific<br />
details.<br />
“I am advised the development<br />
at Ellesmere College – Te Kareti<br />
o Waihora has some additional<br />
land and infrastructure<br />
complexities that need to be<br />
managed,” she said.<br />
Tinetti also pointed to rising<br />
construction costs affecting the<br />
project.<br />
When the upgrades were<br />
announced in 2019, Prime<br />
Minister Chris Hipkins, then<br />
the Minister of Education,<br />
acknowledged the reasons for<br />
Ellesmere’s rebuild.<br />
“All but two of the school’s<br />
buildings are temporary<br />
relocatable classrooms and have<br />
experienced significant wear and<br />
tear. That’s not good enough and<br />
we are fixing it,” Hipkins said at<br />
the time.<br />
Bass said since the delay<br />
was announced in May, the<br />
ministry has released some<br />
funds to provide some interim<br />
maintenance.<br />
“Over the past five years we<br />
haven’t been able to spend any<br />
money on the upgrade of any<br />
school buildings and so they have<br />
deteriorated over that time.<br />
“We have forced the ministry<br />
to allow us to spend some money<br />
on the buildings because it is<br />
unfair for staff and students<br />
who are currently at the school<br />
to be working in subpar<br />
buildings.”<br />
Upgrades include a new coat of<br />
paint on buildings.<br />

Flood victims discuss solutions<br />
• By Daniel Alvey<br />
POSSIBLE solutions have<br />
been offered to a family whose<br />
property has flooded for the past<br />
two winters.<br />
Anna and Josh Pedersen and<br />
their three young children were<br />
once again forced to moved<br />
out of their Tancreds Rd,<br />
Ladbrooks, property after the<br />
heavy rainfall event at the end of<br />
last month.<br />
Their property, along with others<br />
in the area, is located within<br />
the Halswell Drainage Scheme<br />
and is adjacent to Environment<br />
Canterbury’s Blacklers drain.<br />
The family met with ECan<br />
rivers manager David Aires to<br />
discuss their issues on Thursday,<br />
the day after the <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong><br />
highlighted their plight.<br />
“It was a really good chat, very<br />
productive, learned a bit more<br />
again,” Josh said.<br />
Following the meeting Josh<br />
said he received an email from<br />
ECan proposing a potential<br />
solution. In the email a senior<br />
river engineer provided some<br />
commentary around the merits<br />
of a floodgate.<br />
Two locations for a floodgate<br />
were offered, somewhere in the<br />
downstream 300m of Blacklers<br />
Drain, or adjacent to Perrymans<br />
Rd. It was suggested the<br />
floodgate be plumbed into the<br />
road, as it is raised above general<br />
ground level, either immediately<br />
upstream or downstream of the<br />
road.<br />
The engineer said those locations<br />
have the least risk of being<br />
bypassed by water overtopping<br />
general ground level elsewhere.<br />
The engineer said effects on<br />
the other areas are yet to be<br />
investigated.<br />
“A major issue with either<br />
option is the displacement of<br />
floodwaters and effects on others<br />
further down the system, if<br />
indeed a gate would be effective,”<br />
the email said.<br />
Josh said it remains to be seen<br />
whether any solutions will be<br />
implemented.<br />
“I’m certainly more positive.<br />
It’s probably now just a cost<br />
question I think and the<br />
willingness of ECan to do<br />
something.”<br />
Anna said it can take up to six<br />
weeks for their 4ha property to<br />
drain completely after flooding.<br />
They keep some animals,<br />
including cattle, sheep, and<br />
pigs. When the flooding hits,<br />
the cattle and sheep have to be<br />
moved to the neighbours’.<br />
In last week’s <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong>,<br />
the family blamed<br />
ECan, which they said<br />
was not listening to<br />
their concerns over the<br />
flooding.<br />
“I feel like they<br />
are just expecting<br />
us to put our<br />
heads in the<br />
sand and go<br />
away,” Anna<br />
said at the<br />
time.<br />
Following<br />
the article in<br />
the <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
<strong>Times</strong>, Josh<br />
said he has<br />
heard from<br />
other property<br />
owners in the area<br />
experiencing similar<br />
issues.<br />

Mum of Hororata crash victims<br />
speaks of ‘devastating loss’<br />
• By Sam Sherwood<br />
FOR HOURS Gina Dulay waited<br />
for a call from her three children<br />
to hear about their day and how<br />
their new lives were in New<br />
Zealand.<br />
When the phone eventually<br />
rang at her home in the Philippines<br />
it was their father calling<br />
with devastating news. Two of<br />
their children were dead, and a<br />
third was in critical condition<br />
after a crash in Hororata.<br />
Emergency services were<br />
called to the double-fatal crash<br />
on Rakaia Terrace Rd at 2.46pm<br />
on Saturday.<br />
Khatricia Dulay, 19, and Ian<br />
Dulay, 17, died following the collision.<br />
Their oldest sister, 22, was<br />
critically injured, as was their<br />
father’s partner. Their father,<br />
Ghomer Dulay, suffered moderate<br />
injuries.<br />
Gina Dulay spoke from the<br />
Philippines, with a relative helping<br />
to translate. Behind her was a<br />
photo of Khatricia and a candle.<br />
“I’m the mother of the two<br />
children dead,” she began the<br />
conversation.<br />
She last saw her children on<br />
May 25 when they left the Philippines<br />
with their father for a new<br />
life.<br />
“They migrate for good so they<br />
will have a better future.<br />
“They want to have a better<br />
life, so they live in New Zealand.”<br />
The decision to let them leave<br />
was “very hard”, she said. The<br />
children were also sad to be leaving<br />
their mother but “excited”<br />
for what lay ahead. Their father,<br />
who flew to the Philippines to<br />
pick them up, had lived in New<br />
Zealand since 2015.<br />
She last spoke to her children<br />
a day before the crash. They were<br />
“very happy” with their new<br />
lives, and had spent some of their<br />
day at the mall.<br />
The children had routinely<br />
called her since they arrived to<br />
provide updates and would also<br />
send her photos of their travels.<br />
On Saturday, she was waiting<br />
for another call, but none came.<br />
She did not know about the<br />
crash until their father called.<br />
“She cannot think anything.<br />
She’s in deep pain, she’s in<br />
shock,” the relative said.<br />
Gina Dulay was unable to<br />
accept what had happened<br />
until she could see her children<br />
herself.<br />
What had happened was “devastating”,<br />
the relative said.<br />
“She’s so very, very sad when<br />
she heard the news and also said<br />
that she can’t live without her<br />
children.”<br />
Her children were “so kind,<br />
loveable, jolly and generous”.<br />
A Givealittle page has been<br />
made for the Dulay family to<br />
help get the children home.<br />
“Please help us bring my children<br />
to the Philippines so that I<br />
can see them,” Gina Dulay said.<br />
Ghomer Dulay said the family’s<br />
morning had been full<br />
of “laughing and joking” and<br />
cooking together, enjoying each<br />
other’s company after eight years<br />
living apart.<br />
About 1.30pm they left their<br />
home in Christchurch to head to<br />
‘They wanted to see the<br />
snow. It’s their first time<br />
here and . . . I want to<br />
make them happy’<br />
– Ghomer Dulay<br />
Mt Hutt.<br />
“They wanted to see the snow.<br />
It’s their first time here and . . . I<br />
want to make them happy.”<br />
Just over an hour after they<br />
left home, Ghomer Dulay was<br />
driving along Rakaia Terrace Rd<br />
when he saw what he thought<br />
was a rabbit running across the<br />
road.<br />
“That’s why I tried to brake<br />
and now sliding the car and zigzag,”<br />
he said.<br />
“I lost control.”<br />
The car crashed. He blacked<br />
out, his next memory was waking<br />
up at the crash scene.<br />
“My kids, my partner were<br />
yelling and crying. Me also.”<br />
His car was “totally damaged”<br />
and he called 111 and told the<br />
operator “I need help because the<br />
car crashed”.<br />
He then pulled out his partner<br />
and eldest child from the wreckage.<br />
He was unable to get his<br />
other two children out.<br />

Dulay said he was crying and<br />
unsure what to do.<br />
It was not until later that evening<br />
police informed him two of<br />
his children were dead. His oldest<br />
child was critically injured, as<br />
was his partner.<br />
“It’s so sad when I got that<br />
news, I was crying,” he said.<br />
“I have two kids gone.”<br />
On Sunday he said he had a<br />
sore head and face but was physically<br />
“OK”. Dulay is staying at<br />
the hospital to be at his partner<br />
and daughter’s sides.<br />
He said he wanted to tell his<br />
children he was “sorry” for what<br />
happened.<br />
“I don’t want this to happen . . .<br />
they’re my blood,” he said.<br />
His son was studying at the<br />
time. His daughters and his partner<br />
are all caregivers.<br />
“Their dreams are nothing<br />
now, and also my dreams to give<br />
them a big future here.<br />
“It’s gone.<br />
“I want them to be happy,<br />
that’s why all their life I just<br />
follow them. ‘Pa, let’s go there, I<br />
want to see the snow, Pa let’s go<br />
there, I want to visit this’.”<br />
His focus was to bring his<br />
children back to the Philippines<br />
to their mother.<br />
The children’s aunt, Jinena<br />
Tats-Quin Abellera, told the Herald<br />
the family was “devastated”.<br />
She said Dulay called one of<br />
his siblings to inform them of the<br />
crash, and the rest of the family<br />
was then told.<br />
The Givealittle page was created<br />
by Petronila Tangal, who was<br />
a neighbour of Dulay’s partner in<br />
the Philippines and now lives in<br />
Christchurch.<br />
She had visited Dulay in the<br />
hospital and said he was “crying<br />
a lot”.<br />
Hororata chief fire officer<br />
Bruce Sayer attended the crash.<br />
He said the stretch of road went<br />
from a tar road to a shingle road.<br />
The brigade had attended about<br />
nine crashes at the same spot,<br />
but Saturday’s was the first fatal.<br />
The road was mainly used by<br />
dairy workers and farmers, he<br />
said.<br />
“It’s probably one of the worst I<br />
think our brigade has attended.<br />
“We’ve had fatals before, but<br />
a double fatal is way out of the<br />
norm for us in a little town like<br />
this.”<br />
He said it appeared the car had<br />
lost control and hit a tree.<br />
“It wasn’t a pleasant scene.<br />
“The force of the vehicle striking<br />
the tree had sort of strewn<br />
debris from the vehicle across<br />
quite a large area and the vehicle<br />
was sort of still in an upsidedown<br />
position.”<br />
Sayer said no matter how many<br />
crashes firefighters attended it<br />
impacted those that responded.<br />
“But I think from the brigade<br />
point of view everyone realises<br />
that if we weren’t there no one<br />
would be, the waiting time<br />
would be a long time before<br />
someone came.”<br />
He said Fire and Emergency<br />
New Zealand had great<br />
“wraparound support” to go<br />
alongside the support from<br />
within the brigade.<br />

Ambition, sacrifice drive teen<br />
While most 16-year-olds<br />
were in the classroom,<br />
Jacob Douglas was<br />
halfway across the<br />
world living by himself.<br />
Now two years later<br />
reporter Daniel Alvey<br />
catches up with the<br />
fast-driving teenager<br />
JACOB DOUGLAS has had a<br />
taste for racing since he started<br />
competing at 8 – now he’s on the<br />
road to the top of his sport.<br />
“We started out just (karting)<br />
for fun, then we moved to a<br />
really good team and then just<br />
flourished,” he said.<br />
Douglas, 18, now lives in<br />
Indianapolis, United States, but<br />
is back in Lincoln at his parent’s<br />
house for a break between races.<br />
He has his sights set on racing<br />
IndyCar, an achievable goal<br />
considering how far he has<br />
come since his success in New<br />
Zealand with the WKS Kartstore<br />
team and coach Matt Hamilton.<br />
Douglas found himself travelling<br />
the globe to race karts with the<br />
team.<br />
“I raced in Italy, Germany,<br />
Thailand and Australia,” he said.<br />
After switching from karts<br />
to cars, which included racing<br />
in Formula Ford, Douglas was<br />
ready to make the next step in<br />
his career.<br />

After more success in New<br />
Zealand, Douglas and his family<br />
knew if he was going to progress<br />
his career he would have to move<br />
to either Europe or the United<br />
States full-time to ensure he was<br />
racing with the best.<br />
Being in his mid-teens<br />
and still very young to be<br />
travelling overseas by himself,<br />
it was decided the US route<br />
was his best way to go. When<br />
Douglas first moved to the US in<br />
2020 he was on a 90-day tourist<br />
visa, meaning he had to leave<br />
the country every few months,<br />
ON TRACK: Jacob Douglas in his Pabst Racing USF2000 car.<br />
which became more tricky due<br />
to Covid travel restrictions. So<br />
he mostly went to the United<br />
Kingdom then back to the US.<br />
He then took on a number<br />
of US championships, which<br />
included winning five out of six<br />
races in the YACademy Winter<br />
Series. He is now approaching<br />
the final round of his second<br />
season in the USF2000<br />
championship. This year he has<br />
managed to get on the podium<br />
twice – but is still chasing that<br />
elusive win.<br />
“It will be about piecing it all<br />
together. The pace is definitely<br />
there,” Douglas said.<br />
In June, he made the decision<br />
to leave Exclusive Autosport,<br />
the team he had been with since<br />
arriving in the US, for a seat<br />
on the championship-winning<br />
Pabst Racing team.<br />
“The team switch really helped<br />
us get that next little bit.”<br />
Since the switch, he has been<br />
on the podium once and has<br />
managed two top-three spots in<br />
qualifying.<br />
“Overall as a year, we wanted<br />
more but it’s part of the learning<br />
process.”<br />
Fellow New Zealander Hunter<br />
McElrae, a former Pabst driver<br />
who is heading for IndyCar,<br />
helps coach Douglas.<br />
Other than motorsport, he<br />
keeps himself busy at the gym<br />
and spends time in the race<br />
simulator. He also has to fit some<br />
online school work in between.<br />

LINCOLN University<br />
international students have<br />
been given a different kind of<br />
lesson.<br />
Police have given students<br />
the lowdown on what to watch<br />
out for while in New Zealand.<br />
It included tips about how<br />
they drive, the road rules, and<br />
how to avoid being caught up<br />
in a scam.<br />
Business student Augrid<br />
Thongtamachat from Thailand<br />
said the meeting with police<br />
was beneficial.<br />
“As international students, it<br />
is important that we know the<br />
law in New Zealand so we can<br />
follow it properly. We don’t<br />
want to break it,” he said.<br />
The students said they<br />
wanted to build connections<br />
with police to enhance their<br />
sense of safety and promote a<br />
harmonious atmosphere in the<br />

Darfield<br />
High bus to<br />
end for<br />
West Melton<br />
students<br />
• By Daniel Alvey<br />
STUDENTS WHO live in West<br />
Melton will not have a direct bus<br />
to Darfield High School from next<br />
year.<br />
Principal Andy England said it<br />
was always the plan to phase out<br />
the bus service to West Melton,<br />
along with accepting fewer out of<br />
zone enrolments.<br />
In 2016, West Melton was<br />
rezoned to be in the Rolleston<br />
College zone. At the time it was<br />
agreed Darfield High would keep<br />
the bus service going until the end<br />
of this year.<br />
England said the information<br />
had been in student enrolment<br />
packs, but had been omitted for<br />
the past two years. He apologised<br />
for the frustration this may have<br />
caused in a letter to affected<br />
parents.<br />
The bus will now end its<br />
journey at Sandy Knolls Rd, about<br />
4km from West Melton.<br />
England said if the school<br />
did decide to run a bus to West<br />
Melton, it would not get Ministry<br />
of Education funding.<br />
Fire station extension opens<br />
THE DARFIELD community<br />
joined with Fire and Emergency<br />
New Zealand on Saturday to<br />
celebrate the opening of its fire<br />
station extension.<br />
The $2.8 million extension<br />
enables the integrated Darfield<br />
and Darfield South Volunteer<br />
Fire Brigades to operate from<br />
one facility.<br />
FENZ Canterbury district<br />
manager David Stackhouse said<br />
the combined brigades attended<br />
about 120 calls a year, with an<br />
increasing number of weatherrelated<br />
responses. The new<br />
extension provided Darfield’s<br />
firefighters with the space they<br />
needed to train for and respond<br />
to all types of emergencies.<br />
It enlarges the original station<br />
built in 1958 and includes an<br />
extra three appliance bays,<br />
storage space, a training<br />
room with a kitchenette, a<br />
decontamination and ablution<br />
facility and a sealed car park.<br />
Stackhouse acknowledged<br />
Darfield’s volunteer firefighters<br />
and thanked their whānau and<br />
employers, who supported them<br />
in their efforts on behalf of their<br />
community.<br />
“When people don’t know<br />
who else to call, they always call<br />
the fire brigade,” he said.<br />
FENZ acting chief executive<br />
Russell Wood said the opening<br />
marked the completion of 26 fire<br />
station upgrades and rebuilds,<br />
funded by the Government’s<br />
Covid-19 Response and<br />
Recovery Fund.<br />
“Our property renewal work<br />
programme continues, but this<br />
government funding has allowed<br />
Fire and Emergency to rebuild<br />
or upgrade these fire stations<br />
around New Zealand earlier<br />
than anticipated,” he said.<br />
“We are thrilled that 26<br />
fire stations right around the<br />
country have now received<br />
upgraded or brand-new stations,<br />
allowing crews the best available<br />

– and says goodbye<br />
A DEPARTING Scott Robertson<br />
has opened up on his career<br />
as Crusaders coach in his final<br />
interview before taking on the<br />
All Blacks role in November.<br />
Robertson won seven Super<br />
Rugby titles as coach and four as<br />
a player. He takes over from Ian<br />
Foster as All Blacks coach after<br />
the Rugby World Cup. In a video<br />
posted by the Crusaders, an<br />
emotional Robertson looks back<br />
on his time with the franchise<br />
and how much it has meant to<br />
him.<br />
“To give back to a jersey that<br />
has given me so much . . . it’s<br />
special that I can walk away and<br />
go ‘thanks for everything, I’m<br />
a better man for it. And thank<br />
you’,” he said in the video.<br />
Robertson also got emotional<br />
while reflecting on his final game<br />
in Christchurch – the 52-15 semifinal<br />
thrashing of the Blues. He<br />
admitted being nervous about<br />
the potential of ending his stint<br />
with a semi-final defeat and went<br />
onto the ground and revved up<br />
the home crowd before the game.<br />
“Probably that moment was<br />
my last time at Orangetheory, at<br />

chance to bring us all together.<br />
It was a chance to get our people<br />
on our feet but also a thank<br />
you from me. To say ‘let’s enjoy<br />
this – this is our moment. Stay<br />
here now, we’re on’. And the<br />
performance probably reflected<br />
that,” he says.<br />
“I was pretty nervous too. I<br />
thought we needed the crowd<br />
that night. It was the end of a<br />
career, if you end on a semifinal<br />
at home, at a place you’ve never<br />
lost in a final ... I thought we’re<br />
all in. It was a pretty special<br />
moment.”<br />
Last week Robertson penned a<br />
goodbye letter to Crusaders fans.<br />
He also thanked the players<br />

and their families for<br />
their support and respect –<br />
and for keeping him<br />
accountable.<br />
Robertson says so much of who<br />
he and his family are – and who<br />
he aspires to be – is linked to red<br />
and black.<br />
“This week was my last at<br />
Rugby Park and boy does it feel<br />
strange to say that. My time as<br />
a Crusaders head coach is over<br />
and my focus has shifted to my<br />
ever-supportive family and my<br />
own development ahead of the<br />
next big challenge,”Robertson<br />
said in the message shared by the<br />
Crusaders.<br />

Otira Tunnel and Springfield Railway<br />
Station centenary celebrated in style<br />
ON BOTH sides of the divide,<br />
people came to mark the<br />
centenary of the Otira Tunnel.<br />
About 1000 people turned out<br />
in Otira on Friday for a special<br />
train trip to the tunnel, guided<br />
walks and speeches.<br />
Many were descendants<br />
of the tunnellers who toiled<br />
underground for 15 years in often<br />
wet or freezing conditions to<br />
create the first real link between<br />
Canterbury and the West Coast.<br />
The 8.5km tunnel opened on<br />
<strong>August</strong> 4, 1923, and was at the<br />
time the longest in the British<br />
Empire and New Zealand’s largest<br />
engineering project.<br />
In Springfield on Saturday,<br />
the township commemorated<br />
not only the tunnel but also the<br />
Springfield Railway Station.<br />
It is 100 years since the railway<br />
moved from the centre of the<br />
village to its present site so a larger<br />
depot could be built, coinciding<br />
with the opening of the tunnel.<br />
The station is mostly closed now<br />
but with KiwiRail’s blessing, it<br />
was reopened for the day.<br />
HISTORY: Through the Alps – The Otira Railway Tunnel<br />
co-author Chris Stewart explains the tunnel’s construction in<br />
Otira, where people turned out in period costume.<br />
Right – people gathered<br />
for a rare open day at the<br />
Springfield Railway Station.<br />

by the standard of the work.<br />
It has proved to be a very<br />
rewarding event for our<br />
artistic students. All entrants<br />
receive accolades, prizes, and<br />
exhibit their work in a relaxed<br />
environment. Their efforts are<br />
always exemplary and much<br />
enjoyed by the public who also<br />
get an insight into different views on<br />
household waste.<br />
We look forward to welcoming<br />
everyone to view some wonderful and<br />
interesting art over that weekend.<br />

Unique barbering experience<br />
at Lincoln Barbers<br />
Walk into the Lincon Barbers, at 8/8<br />
Vernon Drive, with no appointment<br />
necessary, and enjoy the unique experience<br />
of old-school barbering and indulge in<br />
the feel of a soothing hot towel, the care<br />
and precision of a haircut or beard trim,<br />
and some great banter. You’re sure to<br />
appreciate the art and dedication of an<br />
authentic traditional barbershop with a<br />
welcoming atmosphere and experienced<br />
barbers. Lincoln Barbers, located<br />
in Lincoln for just over a year, have<br />
established their reputation for excellence<br />
and professionalism with word-of-mouth<br />
recommendations growing. They were<br />
recently shortlisted for the <strong>2023</strong> Global<br />
Recognition Awards.<br />
AJ believes it is essential to continue<br />
practising old-school barbering. He is<br />
keen to pass on his knowledge and skills<br />
and has hired new staff. Max is full-time<br />
and states, “I love the environment and<br />
the art of cutting hair” and ” AJ is setting<br />
the footsteps for me to follow”. Lincoln<br />
Barbers is also proud to have Emma, a<br />
female barber who is part-time, with AJ<br />
suggesting, “The industry needs a female<br />
barber, and she is passionate with attention<br />
to detail.”<br />
Owner AJ says, “Our hot towel face shaves<br />
are extremely popular”, and finishing<br />
is their speciality, with tapered haircut<br />
finishes providing a great look, and the hair<br />
grows back evenly. Like the barbershops<br />
of old, Lincoln Barbers and its customised<br />
barbering experience provide a wonderful<br />
social outlet for some good banter. AJ<br />
confirms, “I’m proud that we’ve provided<br />
an environment where people can feel<br />
relaxed enough to chat and be themselves.”<br />
AJ and the team listen to what the customer<br />
wants, take their time to get it right and<br />
go the extra mile to ensure customers are<br />
satisfied with their service, all at a fair<br />
price.<br />
This concept of fairness extends to AJ’s<br />
excellent community spirit, including<br />
special services for the more vulnerable<br />
in the community. Once a month, AJ also<br />
goes to a rest home, where he donates his<br />
services free of charge.<br />
With easy access and plentiful parking at<br />
shop 8/8 Vernon Drive, Lincoln Barbers<br />
is the place for men, women and children<br />
to go for your next haircut, groom, style,<br />
or shave. You’ll receive fantastic service,<br />
professionalism, and a chance to relax and<br />
chat.<br />

Prebbleton’s road to<br />
the top of club rugby<br />
Prebbleton’s Coleman<br />
Shield win was the icing<br />
on the cake in a season<br />
which saw three of the<br />
club’s other teams claim<br />
titles. Jaime Cunningham<br />
takes a look at their<br />
success<br />
WHEN SIMON Fitzgerald<br />
took up the director of rugby<br />
role at Prebbleton in September<br />
last year, he didn’t expect to be<br />
coaching the club’s top side too.<br />
But the supportive environment<br />
at Prebbleton made him<br />
want to coach again and, 10<br />
months on, he capped off his first<br />
season with the club by leading<br />
the division 1 team to their first<br />
Coleman Shield win since 1974,<br />
beating Waihora 37-3 in the<br />
final.<br />
“But it was<br />
the team all<br />
delivering at a<br />
high level which<br />
allowed me to<br />
scope and manage<br />
this team,”<br />
Simon<br />
Fitzgerald<br />
he said.<br />
He has previously<br />
coached<br />
overseas in<br />
Canada, the United Kingdom<br />
and Netherlands.<br />
“At other (club) teams, I was<br />
doing everything. Honestly, it<br />
has made me continue to want to<br />
coach again.”<br />
Club president Jeromy<br />
Knowler said they always intended<br />
for Fitzgerald to lead the<br />
division 1 side, despite his initial<br />
reluctance.<br />
“We always wanted to have<br />
him as a coach, and he eventually<br />
agreed after a month or two,<br />
and saw he would be the best<br />
option.”<br />
Knowler said their training<br />
runs had been a “switch-up” to<br />
previous years under Fitzgerald’s<br />
expertise.<br />
“He’s bought a lot of change<br />
within the senior group,” he said.<br />
CHAMPIONS: Prebbleton won the Coleman Shield for the first time in 49 years.<br />
PHOTOS: PODIUM PHOTOGRAPHY<br />
“The big thing is that he’s<br />
brought professionalism.<br />
“Video analysis is really broken<br />
down for the players and the<br />
trainings are really specific.”<br />
Prebbleton’s division 1, 2 and<br />
colts sides often trained together<br />
this season, which ultimately<br />
paid off for all teams.<br />
The colts triumphed over<br />
Waihora to take out the Ellesmere<br />
title, while the division 2<br />
side narrowly missed out on the<br />
final after winning nine of their<br />
10 round robin games.<br />
Prebbleton life member and<br />
former division 1 head coach<br />
Derek Todd first introduced the<br />
combined trainings.<br />
Knowler said the decision was<br />
“kind of ruthless at the time” as<br />
players who didn’t necessarily<br />
want to play in the top grade<br />
were training together.<br />
This season the teams also had<br />
shared themes throughout the<br />
year and met for Thursday dinners,<br />
which Fitzgerald said “gave<br />
a good sense of belonging”.<br />
Prebbleton’s women’s team<br />
have had a successful year too,<br />
winning the Metro premier<br />
reserve final against High<br />
School Old Boys before beating<br />
Springston in the Ellesmere final.<br />
Their success trickled down to<br />
the junior ranks too, with new<br />
Canterbury women’s coach Jimmy<br />
Sinclair hosting workshops<br />
for up-and-coming coaches.<br />
Said Fitzgerald: “In amateur<br />
rugby, it’s about increasing participation<br />
and not losing sight of<br />
what we’re here for.”<br />
A large number of players<br />
UNSTOPPABLE: Colts hooker Cassidy Taua is tackled by a Lincoln Bales defender in the<br />
Ellesmere final last week. Right – Prebbleton flanker Saqqara Winter attempts to break<br />
away from Springston’s defence in their 45-14 win.<br />
eligible for colts were playing<br />
for the division 1 side this year,<br />
which Fitzgerald said will be<br />
integral for the club’s future.<br />
“People said I was handing out<br />
(debut) ties like confetti.<br />
“They’ve had a taste of success<br />
as well this year, which is really<br />
positive.”<br />
Colts players had the opportunity<br />
to feature in higher<br />
grades largely due to Prebbleton’s<br />
combined senior trainings.<br />
“The players really enjoyed<br />
training as a bigger group and<br />
everyone felt like that had an<br />
equal opportunity,” Fitzgerald<br />
said.<br />
Knowler said their success had<br />
been bubbling away for the last<br />
few years, with Prebbleton being<br />
beaten in both the 2021 and 2022<br />
Coleman Shield finals.<br />
“I’m really proud of the last<br />
three years, we’ve been really<br />
competitive and showing signs of<br />
promise,” he said.<br />
“I remember about 10 years<br />
ago, we had no senior teams in<br />
semi-finals.<br />
“But this year, as the season<br />
went on, we saw the depth. And<br />
to win the Coleman Shield was<br />
pretty emotional.”<br />
Fitzgerald said drawing in new<br />
young players is important for<br />
the future of the club.<br />
“We’ve all got a shared vision<br />
on making it a welcoming place,”<br />
he said.<br />
“We’re not going to just focus<br />
on winning more titles, we need<br />
to remember what we’re about.”<br />
Prebbleton senior results<br />
•Division 1 (won Ellesmere,<br />
finalist in Combined): 15<br />
wins, 2 losses.<br />
•Division 2 (semi-finalists in<br />
Ellesmere): 10 wins, 2 losses.<br />
•Division 3 (finalist in<br />
Ellesmere): 8 wins, 2 losses.<br />
•Colts (won Ellesmere,<br />

Lincoln hires new development officer<br />
• By Jaime Cunningham<br />
INTRODUCING highperformance<br />
pathways and<br />
growing Lincoln’s huge player<br />
potential.<br />
Those are two of the key<br />
planks Lincoln rugby’s new<br />
development officer Grant<br />
Dearns’ aims to implement<br />
at the club when he starts in<br />
November.<br />
Lincoln are the fourth club<br />
in Ellesmere to employ a rugby<br />
development officer, joining<br />
Prebbleton, Southbridge and<br />
West Melton.<br />
Dearns’ main tasks will<br />
surround the retention and<br />
recruitment of players and<br />
coaches. Lincoln were forced<br />
to merge their division 1 side<br />
with Rolleston<br />
this season after<br />
failing to field<br />
an independent<br />
team.<br />
But Dearns is<br />
excited by the<br />
Grant<br />
challenge and has<br />
plenty of ideas to<br />
put into practice.<br />
Dearns<br />
“It will be about putting some<br />
processes in place when I start,”<br />
he said.<br />
“Recruiting kids from inside<br />
and outside Christchurch is the<br />
goal, as a lot of kids come down<br />
to Canterbury and Lincoln<br />
Universities.”<br />
Dearns, currently the rugby<br />
development officer of Pōneke<br />
in Wellington, said a large<br />
motivation to move was to be<br />
closer to his wife, Tanya, a<br />
former Silver Fern who is Mid<br />
Canterbury Rugby Union chief<br />
executive.<br />
Although Dearns knows a<br />
“little bit” about Ellesmere rugby,<br />
he will be focused on using his<br />
connections around Canterbury<br />
to make Lincoln an appealing<br />
destination for new players and<br />
coaches.<br />
“I’m really impressed with<br />
what I’ve seen at Lincoln, it’s all<br />
about the people,” he said.<br />
“The junior club is hellishly<br />
strong, there’s so many kids<br />
playing there.<br />
“And my job will be to make<br />
sure there is a good stream of<br />
players continually coming<br />
through.”<br />
Former Lincoln-Rolleston<br />
Combined coach Bevan Sisson<br />
said at this stage he does not plan<br />
to coach Lincoln next season.<br />
Dearns said he would also not<br />
be coaching a team next season<br />
either.<br />
With experience in strength<br />
and conditioning in the<br />
professional game, Dearns aims<br />
to introduce high-performance<br />
pathways for both players and<br />
coaches.<br />
“I’m a bit of a one-trick-pony,<br />
but clubs need to give an insight<br />
into high-performance,” Dearns<br />
said.<br />
“At Pōneke, I’ve introduced<br />
GPS, video analysis and stats.<br />
That stuff is really important,<br />
and it just exposes coaches and<br />
players to it.<br />
“A big thing for me is to show<br />
a pathway for players, whatever<br />
that may be.”

SELWYN<br />
AWARDS 23<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> Awards celebrate local heroes<br />
This year’s <strong>Selwyn</strong> Awards was bigger and better than ever, with a record<br />
number of nominees and attendees enjoying Saturday night’s Gala Dinner.<br />
A crowd of more than 620 people celebrated the event at the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Sports<br />
Centre, where the ceremony was hosted by popular television personality and<br />
newsreader Hilary Barry. A range of delicious food and beverages sourced from<br />
local suppliers was served, while guests were entertained on arrival by an aerial<br />
artist and music during the evening from The Relatives.<br />
Gold, silver and bronze awards were presented along with overall category<br />
winners for each of the 10 categories, as well as the People’s Choice award.<br />
This year, 148 nominations were received across all categories, and more than<br />
8000 votes were cast for the People’s Choice Award, which was won by Tock.<br />
earth Limited.<br />
Mayor Sam Broughton says the night was a fantastic way to support the people<br />
and organisations throughout the district who generously give their time and<br />
expertise to make <strong>Selwyn</strong> a great place to live and do business.<br />
“We have so many incredible people living in our district and the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Awards<br />
acknowledges their efforts and innovation. There was a huge amount of diversity<br />
and creativity among the nominees this year and their respective causes or<br />
initiatives,” he says. “Well done to all of the nominees and congratulations to this<br />
year’s award winners.”<br />
The <strong>Selwyn</strong> Awards <strong>2023</strong> was presented by IPORT Business Park. The Council<br />
gratefully acknowledges all the event’s sponsors for making the night possible.<br />

CultureFest set to serve up a fun<br />
family day out<br />
Experiencing delicious food and incredible entertainment from around the<br />
world is on the cards at this year’s <strong>Selwyn</strong> CultureFest.<br />
Held annually, the event will be hosted at Lincoln Domain on Sunday 10<br />
September from 10am to 2pm. It is a family-friendly event celebrating the<br />
district's diversity with interactive activities, cultural performances, ethnic<br />
food and more.<br />
Stallholders Jason and Stephanie Simmonds are looking forward to sharing<br />
their delicious South Korean snack food Domi Manjoo — a fish shaped,<br />
custard filled waffle.<br />
“We participated in last year's CultureFest and enjoyed every minute of the<br />
event. The vibe is great, and you get to experience different cultures and their<br />
food,” says Stephanie.<br />
Katharina Halkhoree of MyBretzel<br />
will also be back at CultureFest,<br />
serving up traditional German<br />
pretzels baked fresh on site.<br />
“Last year was my first time at<br />
CultureFest and it was a great<br />
day. People of all ages were<br />
wanting to try authentic pretzels<br />
for the first time or talk about<br />
their own travels to Germany,”<br />
she says. “It’s a good way to<br />
meet people and the pretzels are<br />
always a hit.”<br />

Mayor Sam leading for <strong>Selwyn</strong> on<br />
national stage<br />
Mayor Sam Broughton has been elected President of Local Government New<br />
Zealand (LGNZ).<br />
LGNZ is the organisation that represents the 75 member councils across New<br />
Zealand to build up New Zealand’s wellbeing, as well as coordinating work<br />
to promote healthy and thriving communities. Mayor Sam was elected to the<br />
three-year role at the LGNZ Annual General Meeting in Christchurch.<br />
Mayor Sam said, “I’m delighted and humbled to have been elected to lead<br />
LGNZ; it’s a fantastic opportunity to make a difference for communities<br />
across our Aotearoa”.<br />
Reflecting on what this means for <strong>Selwyn</strong>, Sam remains committed as<br />
Mayor of <strong>Selwyn</strong> and was keen to say how the strength of our District and<br />
the reputation it has gained has contributed to his appointment. “This is an<br />
opportunity for me to continue to advocate for <strong>Selwyn</strong> and to share so much<br />
of our story, which has placed our District as one of the leading councils in<br />
the Country”.<br />
Sam takes up the reins of LGNZ at a critical time with an election on the near<br />
horizon and the responsibility of leading the Local Government response to<br />
the recently published report on the Future of Local Government.<br />
“This is going to be a tough job, there is such a wide range of views across<br />
Local Government, and no one size fits all. However, the Future for Local<br />
Government Report is a solid start, and it’s my job to help find common<br />
ground and work with all councils and central government to try and bring<br />
about the changes that are required to allow our councils to serve the need of<br />
all our communities best”.<br />

REMINDER ABOUT LOOKING AFTER YOUR DRAIN<br />
Following the recent flooding the Council is progressing repairs to the roads and council-maintained<br />
drainage systems across the network.<br />
We would also like to remind residents to please inspect and carry out any required maintenance to any<br />
privately owned waterways and drains within and adjacent to their properties.<br />
All property owners who have a watercourse running through or adjacent to their property are reminded<br />
they are responsible for the maintenance of these watercourses, including ensuring there are no<br />
obstructions which could affect the flow of water. Please remember, a blocked drain doesn't just affect<br />
you but can impact your neighbours too.<br />
The best ways to protect your property and other is to ensure:<br />
• removal of vegetation and fencing within waterways that can hold up water will help to keep water<br />
moving through our networks<br />
• that all driveway culverts are clear<br />
• grass and vegetated fence lines are maintained at the edge of banks<br />
• all trimmings are removed from the area after maintenance so they cannot fall into the waterways<br />
and block up<br />
For more information please see selwyn.govt.nz/services/water/stormwater, or contact our water<br />
services team on 0800 SELWYN 9735 996) or emailing water.services@selwyn.govt.nz<br />

Chance for<br />
promotion<br />
if young<br />
netball side<br />
win today<br />
• By Jaime Cunningham<br />
ROLLESTON College’s senior A<br />
netball side is looking to continue<br />
their dream run today, when<br />
they meet Papanui High for their<br />
SuperNet Reserve semi-final.<br />
Despite going down 32-26 to<br />
Avonside Girls’ High last week,<br />
Rolleston remained top of their<br />
section of the grade after being<br />
promoted to SuperNet Reserve at<br />
the end of last term.<br />
It’s the first time Rolleston has<br />
qualified for the grade and if they<br />
win today’s semi-final, there will<br />
be the chance to be promoted to<br />
SuperNet next year.<br />
The top three teams of the reserve<br />
grade typically play a series<br />
of qualifying games against the<br />
bottom three SuperNet teams at<br />
the start of the season to determine<br />
grading.<br />
As a result, Rolleston’s chances<br />
to qualify for Canterbury’s top<br />
school netball competition will<br />
largely rely on today’s match.<br />
The young team, who are predominantly<br />
year 11 and 12, will<br />
be looking to regain last month’s<br />
momentum when they beat Rangi<br />
Ruru and Middleton Grange.<br />
Coach Denise<br />
Keno said there<br />
were a few players<br />
away in last<br />
week’s loss to<br />
Avonside, which<br />
impacted the<br />
result.<br />
Denise Keno<br />
Avonside<br />
were the grade’s<br />
defending<br />
champions but failed to qualify<br />
for the semi-finals.<br />
Papanui finished second in the<br />
other SuperNet Reserve section,<br />
while Darfield High finished first.<br />
Rolleston’s semi-final begins at<br />
4.40pm at Avonside Girls’ High,<br />
while Darfield take on Rangi in<br />
the second semi-final at 5.30pm<br />
tonight, also at Avonside Girls’.<br />

LINCOLN A’S playoff chances<br />
will be riding on a dominant win<br />
against Halswell Rugby League A<br />
in the last round tomorrow night,<br />
with all but one semi-final spot<br />
confirmed.<br />
Off the back of a five-goal loss<br />
to Greenpark A, Lincoln went<br />
down to defending champions<br />
Burnham A 36-29 in another<br />
close battle last week.<br />
A strong finish by Burnham<br />
saw the defending champions<br />
hold off a persistent Lincoln side,<br />
who trailed by just four goals at<br />
the third quarter.<br />
They now sit fourth on 13<br />
points, but an unlikely Broadfield<br />
A win against Burnham A on<br />
Thursday could see Lincoln miss<br />
out on the playoffs.<br />
Broadfield A increased their<br />
low chance of qualifying with a<br />
one-goal win over Malvern A last<br />
week (34-33).<br />
Malvern were unlucky to miss<br />
out on their first win of premier<br />
1 after taking out the second half<br />
19-18.<br />
Malvern take on West Melton A<br />
in their last match of round robin.<br />
West Melton fought hard against<br />
table leaders Greenpark A last<br />
week, but a dismal last quarter<br />
saw Greenpark ease to their sixth<br />
win of the round, 45-36.<br />
Accuracy killed West Melton’s<br />
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />
Lincoln A aiming for semi spot<br />
hopes of winning, with the shooters<br />
only netting 36 goals from 54<br />
attempts at 67 per cent, in spite of<br />
having two more attempts at goal<br />
than Greenpark.<br />
Converting turnover ball will<br />
be integral against Malvern, if the<br />
team want to avoid dropping to<br />
the seventh-place playoff.<br />
Meanwhile, the two Greenpark<br />
sides will come up against each<br />
other tomorrow, with the winner<br />
likely to decide the final top three<br />
standings.<br />
A seventh win on the trot<br />
would secure Greenpark A the<br />
top spot on the ladder, while a<br />
win to Greenpark B would likely<br />
see the two sides clash again in a<br />
semi-final next week.<br />
Greenpark B go into the match<br />
after narrowly avoiding a shock<br />
loss to Halswell last week.<br />
Despite trailing by two at the<br />
end of the first half, Halswell<br />
never faded away, staying within<br />
five goals throughout the game,<br />
before going down 47-42.<br />
It was Halswell’s third consecutive<br />
loss decided by five goals or<br />
less, and showed the team’s vast<br />
improvements since their 40-goal<br />
thrashing to Greenpark A in June.<br />
Although they will be underdogs<br />
in their final round robin<br />
game against Lincoln, a win to<br />
Halswell would likely see the<br />
young team play off for fifth instead<br />
of seventh next week.<br />

Rolleston on verge of fourth title<br />
• By Jaime Cunningham<br />
ROLLESTON College failed to<br />
field under-14.5 and under-16<br />
rugby sides last season. But this<br />
year they are on the verge of<br />
sweeping all before them.<br />
The under-14.5 side have the<br />
chance to win their second title<br />
on Saturday when they take on<br />
Mid Canterbury at home in the<br />
combined final. It comes after<br />
they overcame Lincoln 23-13 in<br />
the semi-final at the weekend<br />
and won the Ellesmere title last<br />
month. The under-16s have<br />
already claimed both titles this<br />
season.<br />
It has been a steady rise for<br />
the school which was founded<br />
in 2017. After working with<br />
the Ellesmere sub-union and<br />
Canterbury Rugby, they were<br />
allowed to play in the under-14.5<br />
and under-16 grades last season,<br />
but did not have enough players<br />
to field teams.<br />
Deputy principal and teacher<br />
in charge of rugby, Alby Wilson,<br />
said the players have a strong<br />
desire to play for their school.<br />
“We have been fortunate<br />
enough to bring in experienced<br />
coach Reece Allan and manager<br />
Donna Creighton (to) develop<br />
a programme that has seen<br />
growth, development and mana<br />
in the rugby played.<br />
“They brought in coaches<br />
and parents who also had the<br />
same passion to see college<br />
SUCCESS: Rolleston College’s under-14.5 and under-16 sides have already won three<br />
titles this season. The under-14.5s have the chance to win their fourth on Saturday when<br />
they take on Mid Canterbury in the combined final.<br />
rugby thrive.”<br />
Many of the school’s coaches<br />
and players have come from<br />
the Rolleston Rugby Club.<br />
The school also has a strong<br />
relationship with the West<br />
Melton club.<br />
“The goal is growth of<br />
rugby in our region but also<br />
to give players options and a<br />
chance to represent their school<br />
and play with their mates,”<br />
Wilson said.<br />
“We will continue to work<br />
with both clubs, and Ellesmere<br />
Rugby Sub Union, to strengthen<br />
our relationship. We know there<br />
tends to be a drop off from<br />
under-13 and 15 for boys’ rugby,<br />
and we would love to focus on<br />
that space and grow it.”<br />
Rolleston College also<br />
wants to grow the women’s<br />
game. The school fields a<br />
combined team with Lincoln<br />
High and Darfield High in the<br />
Miles Toyota Cup.<br />
Said Wilson: “With the<br />
women’s game growing and<br />
two senior women’s teams in<br />
our region (Prebbleton and<br />
Springston), it’s a pathway we<br />
want to support and grow.”<br />
He said it is “no secret” the<br />
school hopes to field their own<br />
first XV in the Miles Toyota<br />
Championship in the near<br />
future. But currently their senior<br />
players combine with students<br />
from Lincoln High, Ellesmere<br />
College and Darfield High in the<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> Schools’ Combined side.<br />
Wilson said he was “happy”<br />
with the current arrangement<br />
and “that players in our region<br />
have an opportunity to play at<br />
that level”.<br />
But he said: “A first XV<br />
offers a pathway to programmes<br />
like Junior Crusaders, New<br />
Zealand Secondary Schools,<br />
and, for some, that needs to be<br />
an option. For others, it will be<br />
great to see them back in their<br />
club colours once they leave<br />
school, developing the colts<br />
competition.”<br />

Lincoln High<br />
face football<br />
quarter-final<br />
• By Jaime Cunningham<br />
AN IN-FORM Lincoln High girls’<br />
first XI are set to meet Avonside<br />
Girls’ High in the quarter-final at<br />
Foster Park at 4.40pm today.<br />
The team finished third in<br />
the round robin stage after a 2-0<br />
loss to unbeaten St Andrew’s<br />
College.<br />
It was Lincoln’s second defeat<br />
this season – and the first since<br />
they were beaten 4-2 by Papanui<br />
High in May.<br />
Lincoln last played Avonside on<br />
May 31, when they managed to<br />
hold on to a narrow 3-2 win.<br />
Meanwhile, a semi-final berth<br />
is out of reach for Lincoln’s boys’<br />
side, despite their 5-0 win over<br />
Burnside High last week.<br />
Lincoln face Christ’s College in<br />
their final round robin clash at<br />
United Sports Centre at 6.05pm<br />
today. The two sides last met in<br />
May, when Christ’s won 2-0.<br />
Lincoln (six points) could<br />
knock Christ’s (11) out of the<br />
playoffs with a win, depending on<br />
the other results.<br />
Feeling bloated<br />
or have a sore stomach?<br />
The Soothe Study is recruiting now.<br />
We are looking for people with functional dyspepsia (indigestion) to<br />
participate in a research study investigating the digestive health effects<br />
of consuming mānuka honey.<br />
Symptoms of functional dyspepsia include:<br />
• pain or burning in the stomach, bloating, excessive belching (burping)<br />
or nausea after meals<br />
• an early feeling of fullness when eating<br />
• pain in the stomach that may sometimes occur unrelated to meals or<br />
may be relieved by eating.<br />
After a two-week lead-in period, we will provide you with mānuka honey<br />
or a honey-like product to eat before breakfast and dinner every day for<br />
six-weeks. Two weeks later we will again ask you about your functional<br />
dyspepsia symptoms.<br />
The time commitment for this study will be about 10 hours and you will<br />
attend six clinic visits in total. You will receive up to $220 in supermarket<br />
vouchers in recognition of the actual or reasonable costs associated with<br />
participating in this study (e.g., parking and/or travel costs).<br />
If you experience symptoms of functional dyspepsia, and are aged<br />
18 to 70 years we would love to hear from you.<br />

Rolleston Placemakers on Hoskyns<br />
Road is well underway, with cladding<br />
on the exterior and progress being<br />
made towards an opening later this year.<br />
Woolworths (previously Countdown)<br />
is now advertising positions for their<br />
new distribution centre in the Tawhiri<br />
development, due to be operational<br />
in 2024. There has been no further<br />
information about the Carter Group’s<br />
new proposed bulk-retail development,<br />
“The Station”, or the possible opening of<br />
a Costco or Ikea store in Rolleston. It has<br />
recently been confirmed that a Mitre 10<br />
store will be constructed on Pak’nSave’s<br />
subdivided Levi Road land. Another<br />
retail business, the Chemist Warehouse,<br />
recently opened on Rolleston Drive.<br />
Not all industrial and commercial sites<br />
are being utilised by big businesses, with<br />
a greater number of smaller specialised<br />
services now coming on board and using<br />
purpose-built facilities. New warehouse<br />
units at Factory Drive have a range<br />
of tenants, including Wrap Doctor,<br />
Ammo Direct, Shampoodle, Workers<br />
Pantry, Deluxe Beds Direct, Absolute<br />
Waterproofing, MR Stainless Fabrications,<br />
and Hi-Tech Auto Electrical. While only<br />
three units are left to be tenanted, due to<br />
the demand, another block of 16 units is<br />
proposed to be completed by the end of<br />
<strong>2023</strong>.<br />
As Rolleston expands, the variety and<br />
number of commercial and industrial<br />
businesses deciding to be based in<br />
Rolleston also increases. Companies<br />
recognise the value of securing soughtafter<br />
high-quality industrial land or<br />
obtaining leases on properties, with<br />
nearby Southern Motorway/SH1<br />
providing easy access to and from the<br />
city. The availability and diverse range of<br />
small and large businesses offer <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
residents the benefits of local options,<br />
reducing the need to travel into the city<br />
centre or other suburbs and providing<br />
more job opportunities locally.<br />

Property Market Update<br />
with Mike Pero Real Estate Lincoln<br />
Lincoln Property<br />
Market Overview<br />
Lincoln is still popular for those<br />
wanting a quieter lifestyle but still close<br />
enough to enjoy what the city offers.<br />
Jolene Eagar from Mike Pero Real Estate<br />
Lincoln, who works closely with clients<br />
and builds relationships, confirms<br />
Lincoln is about “wanting a communitybased<br />
lifestyle and knowing the people<br />
who live around you.” Although not as<br />
strong as previously, Lincoln still shows a<br />
strong market where people sell for more<br />
than they bought.<br />
Jolene confirms there has been a<br />
pickup in buyers, and recent open homes<br />
have been busy, with more properties<br />
coming onto the market and greater<br />
interest from buyers. Several buyers<br />
have been cash buyers-both locals and<br />
from the North Island, and some had<br />
previously been renting and are now<br />
ready for their own home. There has<br />
been a range of properties for sale, giving<br />
people options, with lower-priced houses<br />
giving first-home buyers a chance to<br />
purchase and more expensive luxury<br />
properties available for purchase.<br />
House prices have reduced from<br />
previous times. However, Jolene<br />
suggests, “Keep this in perspective as we<br />
forget that we had such a quick growth<br />
in the property market, and it has come<br />
down slightly from that.” The June sales<br />
median is $870,000, which reflects the<br />
sale of some cheaper and more expensive<br />
homes. Demand has been a mixture of 3-<br />
and 4-bedroom properties for growing<br />
families and downsizers, especially from<br />
lifestyle properties. Buyers are looking<br />
for a 4th bedroom or home office for<br />
those working from home, and having a<br />
third garage spot is in demand.<br />
Currently, houses are on the market for<br />
43-45 days. Jolene states, “This appears<br />
to be driven by the fact we are seeing<br />
more deadline sales at the moment<br />
rather than auctions.” Whereas auctions<br />
usually have a three-week campaign<br />
before selling, conditional selling is<br />
likely to be five weeks, allowing time for<br />
buyers to do their due diligence. Jolene<br />
confirms, “Buyers are now wanting to<br />
have conversations, and they need time<br />
to get themselves organised to speak to<br />
the banks. It’s not the rush to buy with<br />
the FOMO (Fear of missing out) like it<br />
used to be.” She also suggested buyers<br />
are more prepared, getting pre-approval<br />
and knowing which properties they can<br />
afford.<br />
Jolene advises that after receiving<br />
a market appraisal, sellers will have a<br />
good idea of where their property sits<br />
on the property market and what’s been<br />
happening around them, ensuring they<br />
have a realistic price expectation. As part<br />
of their service and going the extra mile<br />
in helping to stage the home, “it puts the<br />
house on a pedestal, to really shine and<br />
look its best”, buyers will be able to see<br />
themselves living there.<br />
Meanwhile, investors coming through<br />
open homes are scarce, and more<br />
investment properties are being sold than<br />
bought.<br />
with your local<br />
real estate experts<br />
Call us for an obligation-free chat or appraisal.<br />
“Eddie and Jolene have been fantastic throughout the whole process of selling our house. They had all the<br />
gear we needed to help stage the house for photos and open homes, this saved us so much money. They were<br />
both empathetic to our personal situation at the time which helped take the stress out of selling. They both<br />
communicated honestly and openly which we respected greatly! Their knowledge of the <strong>Selwyn</strong> market is<br />
extensive. We highly recommend their professional services.” Lincoln Vendors - Verified by RateMyAgent<br />

NATIVE TO temperate and<br />
subtropical regions of South<br />
America, Azara is a genus of 11<br />
evergreen species.<br />
They grow as shrubs or trees<br />
between 1m and 8m tall.<br />
The leaves appear in an unusual<br />
pattern along the stems, which<br />
is an interesting characteristic of<br />
this genus.<br />
Pairs of differently shaped<br />
leaves are arranged alternately<br />
along the stems though the<br />
smaller leaf of the pair is not a<br />
true leaf but a leaf-like stipule.<br />
In late winter or early spring<br />
an abundance of dainty yellow<br />
flowers appears. The small<br />
fragrant flowers have no petals<br />
but rather display a conspicuous<br />
bunch of long bright yellow<br />
stamens<br />
Probably the most well-known<br />
of the Azara species is the sweetscented<br />
“vanilla tree”, Azara<br />
microphylla, native of Chile and<br />
Argentina.<br />
In early spring the scent of A.<br />
microphylla fills the air with a<br />
sweet enticing vanilla-like fragrance<br />
emanating from its small<br />
yellow flowers.<br />
The name microphylla describes<br />
this species’ small leaves.<br />
Azaramicrophylla “Variegata”,<br />
a yellow-variegated cultivar of<br />
the vanilla tree, is also popular in<br />
gardens, though less hardy than<br />
the true species.<br />
The lesser-known species in<br />
this genus also provide interest<br />
and charm to the garden.<br />
Azara integrifolia, native to<br />
Chile, has lush evergreen foliage,<br />

Azara dentata and A. serrata<br />

leaves with toothed margins in<br />
the South American borders to<br />

NEW ZEALAND’S alpine<br />
grasslands are dominated by<br />
tussock grasses from the genus<br />
Chionochloa.<br />
Collectively known as ‘snow<br />
tussocks’, the 23 indigenous<br />
members of the genus range in<br />
size and character.<br />
At one end of the spectrum are<br />
tall, stout species reminiscent<br />
of toetoe. At the other end are<br />
low-growing carpet formers.<br />
Distributions range from local<br />
to widespread. Leaves can be<br />
dark green, reddish, golden<br />
or silvery. Hybridism between<br />
species is common.<br />
Despite their hardiness and<br />
longevity in the wild, many<br />
species of snow tussock can be<br />
difficult to grow and maintain<br />
to their full potential. However,<br />
there are a few ‘good doers’ that<br />
are valued by landscapers and<br />
gardeners.<br />
Graceful Chionochloa rubra,<br />
with slender, copper-coloured<br />
leaves, reaches 1m to 1.6m<br />
tall and suits being planted en<br />

Chionochloa rigida, another<br />
widespread South Island species,<br />
is more straw coloured but can<br />
be similarly stunning.<br />
Mid-green Chionochloa<br />
flavicans is more compact. It<br />

Alpine grass valued<br />
by landscapers<br />
retains its attractive flowering<br />
plumes for many weeks.<br />
Chionochloa conspicua,<br />
being rather large, makes a<br />
magnificent feature plant. It can<br />
handle a touch of shade and has<br />
many delicate, feathery flower<br />
heads in summer.<br />
Other species deserve<br />
to be used more widely, but<br />
sadly are seldom stocked in<br />
nurseries.<br />
Snow tussocks tend to look<br />
good in windy, exposed spots,<br />
their flowing leaves adding<br />
texture and dynamism to a<br />
planting. With few exceptions,<br />
they need plenty of light and<br />
space, and will perform best in<br />
decent, moist soil.<br />

Nissan’s Qashqai a strong performer<br />
Motoring with Bob Nettleton<br />
THE QASHQAI compact<br />
urban SUV, with its inventive<br />
fuel-saving low-emission hybrid<br />
technology, is a breakthrough<br />
model for Nissan in this part of<br />
the world.<br />
A new platform underpins this<br />
latest Qashqai, with increased<br />
torsional stiffness provided by<br />
greater use of high-strength steel.<br />
Despite an increase in stiffness,<br />
the body shell is a remarkable<br />
60kg lighter than before.<br />
In Europe and the UK, they<br />
love the Qashqai. On this side of<br />
the world it is, at best, a steady<br />
seller. The company is expecting<br />
big things from this latest model,<br />
which offers a step up in refinement,<br />
safety and technology<br />
– and unfortunately prices, compared<br />
to the vehicle it replaces.<br />
Affordability could be an issue<br />
with the entry level ST kicking<br />
off at $45,990, $8k more than the<br />
outgoing model. There no hiding<br />
the fact this is a big increase<br />
over the previous version, even<br />
allowing for major advances on<br />
every front. You do get more<br />
Qashqai for your dollar with<br />
this latest iteration bigger across<br />
the board. It’s 4425mm long<br />
(+31mm), 1625mm tall (+30mm),<br />
and 1835mm wide (+29mm),<br />
while the wheelbase has grown to<br />
2665mm (+19mm).<br />
There’s plenty of technology,<br />
leading edge safety features, and<br />
a more sophisticated multi-link<br />
rear suspension set-up across<br />
every model. There’s also more<br />
variety in the powertrain department,<br />
with a new and feisty<br />
1.3-litre turbo petrol, and the<br />
option of Nissan’s innovative<br />
e-POWER hybrid system. This<br />
carries a $7k price premium over<br />
the turbo petrol motor.<br />
Petrol, not e-power, dominates<br />
the six strong model range,<br />
which comprises four petrol variants<br />
starting with the price leading<br />
$45,995 ST and stretching to<br />
$56,990 for the flagship Ti-L.<br />
E-power is limited to the<br />
upmarket Ti and Ti-L priced at<br />
$59,990 and $65,680 respectively.<br />
The latter version of this duo<br />
was supplied for this road test.<br />
These hefty asking prices put<br />
the Qashqai at the high end of<br />
its class. In fact, you can buy its<br />
larger sibling the X-Trail e-power<br />
in the same upmarket spec for<br />
another $1200. For that modest<br />
investment, you get a larger<br />
vehicle, greater versatility and the<br />
better re-sale of an AWD SUV.<br />
Most hybrid systems use<br />
an electric motor and a petrol<br />
engine to drive their wheels. Nissan’s<br />
e-POWER does things differently<br />
with its wheels powered<br />
HANDY: The motion-activated tailgate is great if you’re<br />
juggling luggage.<br />
REFINEMENT: The Nissan Qashqai offers plenty of technology, leading edge safety features<br />
and more sophisticated rear suspension across every model.<br />
exclusively by an electric motor.<br />
The e-POWER system was first<br />
seen in the Japan-only Nissan<br />
Note in 2016, powering on from<br />
that initial success to claim bestselling<br />
car in Japan two years<br />
later.<br />
The second-generation e-<br />
POWER technology used in<br />
the latest Qashqai pairs the effortless<br />
acceleration and refined<br />
performance of an electric motor,<br />
similar in size and power output<br />
to those fitted in pure Nissan’s<br />
EVs. It’s a strong high-energy<br />
performer with 140kw of power<br />
and 330nm of torque to take<br />
command of most driving scenarios.<br />
Thanks to the pure electric<br />
motor, there’s none of the powerdelivery<br />
hesitancy associated<br />
with an internal combustion engine<br />
or traditional hybrid set-ups.<br />
The instant response provides a<br />
high-torque feel and exhilarating<br />
acceleration, on lower fuel use<br />
and emissions.<br />
The e-POWER system delivers<br />
its torque almost instantly,<br />
enhancing the vehicle’s responsiveness.<br />
A new-generation CVT<br />
(Constant Variable Transmission)<br />
delivers better fuel economy<br />
and produces a lot less friction.<br />
There are three drive modes at<br />
your disposal, Eco, Normal and<br />
Sport. All these upgrades are big<br />
improvements on the lethargic<br />
CVT that blunted the performance<br />
of the previous model.<br />
For a compact urban SUV<br />
this one is roomier than most,<br />
with plenty of passenger and<br />
load space. The Ti-L supplied<br />
for this road test is the jewel in<br />
the Qashqai crown and sparkles<br />
when it comes luxury features.<br />
There’s a panoramic glass<br />
roof and electric sunshade, a<br />
black headliner and ambient<br />
interior lighting. Cabin technology<br />
features a 10.8-inch colour<br />
head-up display, and a premium<br />
10-speaker BOSE audio system.<br />
The seats are accented in plush by<br />
rather dated looking 3D quilted<br />
premium leather, with memory<br />
and massage functions for frontseat<br />
passenger and driver.<br />
A motion activated tailgate is<br />
great if you’re juggling an armful<br />
of groceries in the supermarket<br />
car park. Simply wave your hand<br />
or foot at the tailgate and the rear<br />
hatch opens like magic.<br />
Nissan Intelligent Mobility<br />
safety features are impressive.<br />
It includes Intelligent Cruise<br />
Control, Forward Emergency<br />
Braking, plus pedestrian, cyclist,<br />
and junction detection capabilities.<br />
You also have peace-of-mind<br />
safety in the form of Lane Departure<br />
Warning and Departure<br />
Prevention and Blind Spot Warning.<br />
High Beam Assist makes<br />
DIY dipping of your headlights<br />
at night for on-coming traffic a<br />
thing of the past.<br />
A lot of hype surrounds the<br />
new Qashqai’s advanced multilink<br />
rear suspension. This configuration<br />
means it excels when<br />
subjected to sudden direction<br />
changes, or different road cambers.<br />
Well-controlled body-roll,<br />
comfort and the effective isolation<br />
of road noise and vibrations<br />
from the passenger compartment<br />
are among the best in the compact<br />
urban SUV class.<br />
There been a rework of the<br />
steering with revised ratios<br />
offering quicker corner turn-in<br />
response. I’m not sure this rejig<br />
hits all its KPIs. Overall, it puts in<br />
a solid effort. However, at times<br />
the steering felt light and a bit<br />
thin on road feel and is an area<br />
that isn’t as accomplished as the<br />
rest of the vehicle.<br />

This 4.1 HA property boasts a fantastic 276m2 five-bedroom brick family<br />
home. The wide entranceway into the home sets the scene and gives<br />
you an immediate sense of space and comfort. The open-plan living<br />
seamlessly flows into the 3 living areas available to put your feet up,<br />
watch a movie, or dear I say it get the X-Box out. Both lounges lead to the<br />
substantive wooden deck and entertainment area outside for the trusty<br />
BBQ and general get-together family occasions. There is also a large<br />
greenhouse for growing fresh vegies just off the deck area. The home<br />
has 2 bathrooms and a 2-car garage with internal access. There are two<br />
heat sources, a log burner, and a heat pump. It’s not until you get outside<br />
that you get a true sense of what is on offer at this property. Let us start<br />
with the 4-bay barn with one bay having a lockable roller door on it and a<br />
concrete floor. So plenty of room for a horse float, tractor, and of course<br />
some hay. There is a second barn that also has 4 bays. There is a lockable<br />
tack/feed room a bay for gearing up and 2 covered boxes plus a hitching<br />
post. For educational purposes for horses the property also has a 16m<br />
round pen. A laneway allows easy access to the several paddocks and<br />
at the rear of the property is a paddock set aside for growing meadow<br />
hay. There is of course the equestrian ring for show jumping and general<br />
training. Aprox 55x 35 m2 in area and just to add to the mix there is also a<br />
modern 68m2 Granny Flat. Close by is the flats garage with a workshop in<br />
it. Each home has its own septic tank. The property is on its own well.Post<br />
and wire fencing. This property is a must-view as far as lifestyle blocks go.<br />

Rolleston Lots 2, 3, 4 and 5, 151 Curraghs Road<br />
Lifestyle Bare Land<br />
These four 4ha blocks of bare land are just minutes from the township of Rolleston and as such you get the best of<br />
both Town/Country worlds. You can be on the state highway in under 3 minutes heading North or South. The drive to<br />
Christchurch City Central can be achieved in under 25 minutes and to the Christchurch International Airport in just 15<br />
minutes, how good is that! With new homes starting to be built on the early sales of the Curraghs Subdivision the area<br />
is really starting to take shape. With its versatile and free-draining soils, this property is suitable for a wide range of<br />
activities from growing some oats or lucerne or simply a few paddocks with pets and ponies for the children. Speaking<br />
of ponies, The West Melton Weedon's Pony Club is just 4 minutes down the road and if you're a golfer try out the<br />
Weedon's Golf Course close by you won't be disappointed. With smart new fencing and power to the gate, this leaves<br />
you with a blank canvas. Time to start painting!<br />

Rolleston 23 Whittington Drive<br />
Hot property - too good to miss<br />
Welcome to this gem that has been lovingly maintained since its completion in February 2021. With a carefully<br />
considered design that makes best use of the 165sqm floor plan, the property is a perfect choice for young families<br />
and investors alike. Boasting a very handy fourth bedroom, ideal for growing families, as a home office or to<br />
maximise a rental income, it's a winner on all counts. Plus, there's a separate formal lounge, in addition to the open<br />
plan living area, to further enhance the home's appeal. It's also important to highlight the great location, just a<br />
leisurely stroll away from Foster Park with its walking paths, playground and sports facilities. Whether it's going to<br />
be your family's new home or a profitable addition to your investment portfolio, we recommend early inspection to<br />
avoid missing out.<br />
