‘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 />

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 />

“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 />

HERALD<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 />

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 />

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 />

Last week Robertson penned a<br />

goodbye letter to Crusaders fans.<br />

He also thanked the players<br />

and their families for<br />

and for keeping him<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 />

finalist in Combined): 13<br />

wins, 1 loss.<br />

Women (Won Ellesmere,<br />

won Metro premier reserve):<br />

10 wins, 1 loss.<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 />

hub. Meanwhile, the construction of<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 />

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 />

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 />

Have You Got Houses AND Horses On Your Mind ?<br />

Living Rooms: 3 Bathrooms: 2 Garages: 2 Bedrooms:5<br />

If you have, then you may be looking at your next real estate purchase.<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 />

WHALAN AND PARTNERS LTD, BAYLEYS, LICENSED UNDER THE REA ACT 2008<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 />
