Teenagers<br />

break into<br />

electronics<br />

repair store<br />

• By Daniel Alvey<br />

BUSINESSES remain a target for<br />

youth offenders, with another two<br />

hit in the past 10 days.<br />

In separate incidents in Lincoln,<br />

youths smashed their way into<br />

an electronics repair store and<br />

attempted the same on a convenience<br />

store but were stopped by fog<br />

cannons.<br />

Techexpert Lincoln owner<br />

Toyaz Yadav said his Vernon<br />

Dr store was broken into about<br />

4.15am on Labour Day.<br />

The six offenders smashed in<br />

through the front door and then<br />

trashed the store searching for<br />

items to steal.<br />

Yadav said they took a lot of<br />

products including gift cards<br />

and phone cases that were on the<br />

shelves and then went back behind<br />

the counter, stealing customer<br />

phones and laptops that were<br />

in for repairs. He estimated the<br />

loss to be about $25,000 which<br />

included damage to the shop.<br />

“They took everything, lots of<br />

customer devices, my personal<br />

computer.”<br />

ROLLESTON Volunteer<br />

firefighters won’t be attending<br />

most medical callouts from<br />

today.<br />

The brigade, which has held<br />

a first response role for decades<br />

will now, like all other <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

brigades, be a co-responder<br />

to medical calls and will only<br />

respond to cardiac arrest callouts<br />

and other serious medical incidents<br />

in the area, to reduce strain<br />

on volunteers.<br />

Fire and Emergency New<br />

Zealand Canterbury district<br />

manager Dave Stackhouse said<br />

the decision was made earlier<br />

this year.<br />

“In the days where Rolleston<br />

was a small town, and the nearest<br />

ambulance was in Christchurch,<br />

our volunteers made a massive<br />

difference, supporting both Hato<br />

Hone St John’s response and the<br />

local community.<br />

“However, as Rolleston has<br />

grown, so has the number of<br />

medical response callouts. This<br />

has placed greater strain on our<br />

valuable volunteer staff who<br />

already contribute their time<br />

to Fire and Emergency’s main<br />

functions and community risk<br />

reduction activities,” Stackhouse<br />

said.<br />

Since January 1 the brigade<br />

Firefighters cut back on<br />

attending medical callouts<br />

SERVICE: Rolleston Volunteer Fire Brigade has moved to a<br />

co-response role for medical callouts in an effort to reduce<br />

strain on volunteers.<br />

has responded to 153 medical<br />

callouts.<br />

Stackhouse said they will still<br />

support Hato Hone St John.<br />

“This will allow the Rolleston<br />

Volunteer Fire Brigade to offer<br />

support to both Hato Hone St<br />

John and the community of<br />

Rolleston while placing less<br />

strain on our volunteers. “<br />

Despite the pullback, Hato<br />

Hone St John Mid Canterbury<br />

area operations manager Ian<br />

Rex said it would not affect its<br />

service.<br />

“We would like to reassure the<br />

public that this decision will not<br />

impact on our response to patients<br />

in need as our ambulances<br />

work as part of a network, and<br />

the Rolleston team is supported<br />

by ambulances from across the<br />

district, including Christchurch,<br />

Leeston and Darfield, as well as<br />

helicopters from Christchurch,”<br />

Rex said.<br />

Hato Hone St John has one<br />

ambulance in Rolleston that operates<br />

24/7 and one ambulance<br />

that operates 12 hours a day<br />

(10am to 10pm). There are 17<br />

paid and 30 volunteer ambulance<br />

officers based at Rolleston station.<br />

Rex thanked the Rolleston<br />

brigade for their service.<br />

Yadav said the break-in was<br />

frustrating, and he was now left<br />

with little stock and had to ring<br />

customers about their devices<br />

being stolen.<br />

Yadav has owned the store for<br />

about three years, and this is the<br />

first break-in he has had.<br />

“I did not expect to be broken<br />

into,” said Yadav, adding that he<br />

thought he wouldn’t be a target<br />

because he doesn’t sell phones<br />

and other items of value to young<br />

people, like vapes.<br />

A police spokesperson said<br />

they were notified of the break-in<br />

at 7.40am, and that they were<br />

reviewing CCTV along with<br />

making other inquiries, which<br />

are ongoing.<br />

Yadav had not heard from the<br />

police since Labour Day.<br />

He said he would be putting in<br />

more security measures now.<br />

“The landlord and I are working<br />

together to put in things like<br />

security bars.”<br />

The second incident that week<br />

happened on Friday at 4.15am<br />

when four youths tried to break<br />

into the Lincoln Convenience<br />

Store on Gerald St.<br />

Owner Rick Sun said they<br />

tried to break through the door,<br />

but fled after the store’s smoke<br />

Residents prioritise sustainability<br />

in Long-Term Plan feedback<br />

A SUSTAINABLE community is<br />

the primary vision for residents<br />

over the next decade.<br />

The council asked<br />

residents for their priorities<br />

for the next 10 years, to<br />

support the development<br />

of the district’s Long-Term<br />

Plan 2024-34, with almost<br />

800 people giving their<br />

feedback.<br />

Residents overwhelmingly<br />

highlighted the importance<br />

of a ‘sustainable<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong>’, where the district<br />

is self-sufficient with<br />

services and facilities that<br />

cater to people at all stages<br />

of life and the environment<br />

is cared for.<br />

A draft Long-Term Plan<br />

2024–2034 will be released<br />

for public feedback in April<br />

next year, setting out the<br />

council’s proposed activities,<br />

services and budget over the next<br />

decade, based on that feedback,<br />

alongside practical considerations.<br />

“The community has been<br />

clear in its ambitions, and<br />

they’ve shared an exciting vision<br />

for the future,” Mayor Sam<br />

Sam<br />

Broughton<br />

Sharon<br />

Mason<br />

Broughton said.<br />

“Now we need to work<br />

together with our community<br />

on a plan for achieving<br />

those, including what<br />

the realistic costs are and<br />

what trade-offs may be<br />

required.”<br />

There was a strong<br />

desire to make <strong>Selwyn</strong> a<br />

‘one-stop-shop,’ where<br />

people can work and live,<br />

without needing to go<br />

anywhere else.<br />

To make this possible,<br />

people indicated a desire<br />

for the district to become<br />

more economically innovative,<br />

and a better spread<br />

of infrastructure and services<br />

across the district,<br />

council chief executive<br />

Sharon Mason said.<br />

“There’s a strong feeling<br />

that people love what we have,<br />

with 86 per cent of people saying<br />

they have a positive experience<br />

of living here. People love our<br />

rural character and affordability.<br />

There’s also a strong desire for<br />

clear planning, to protect that,<br />

particularly around infrastructure<br />

and around access to<br />

RHODES PARK, TAI TAPU: Access to green spaces<br />

was rated a high or very high priority by 94 per cent of<br />

respondents.<br />

services across <strong>Selwyn</strong>.”<br />

Social and environmental wellbeing<br />

was also a strong focus for<br />

respondents, with protection of<br />

water sources (rated as a very<br />

high or high priority by 97 per<br />

cent of respondents) and access<br />

to green spaces (rated high or<br />

very high by 94 per cent), seen as<br />

the highest priorities.<br />

People identified a desire for<br />

smart growth including proactive<br />

infrastructure planning and<br />

building up, not out in urban<br />

centres, as well as more sustainable<br />

agriculture.<br />

Residents also indicated an<br />

openness to necessary funding<br />

decisions, including increasing<br />

rates if it was to achieve their<br />

priorities.<br />

“We’ve got the direction for<br />

where people want to go, now<br />

the task is to nail down a plan to<br />

achieve what we can.<br />

“To achieve the outcomes<br />

sought by the community<br />

will require extra funding. It’s<br />

good to see people are realistic<br />

about that. We are conscious of<br />

affordability and we’re looking<br />

at different ways to cover those<br />

costs, but as we have seen with<br />

other councils that could include<br />

significant rates increases.<br />

We’ll put those options out to<br />

community to consider.”<br />

Residents gave feedback<br />

through a range of activities<br />

including focus groups and<br />

individual surveys, while 98<br />

people took part in the digital<br />

scavenger hunt – a first of its<br />

kind trial for any council in New<br />

Zealand.<br />

Of the respondents, 33 per cent<br />

lived rurally and seven per cent<br />

were farmers, while 25 per cent<br />

identified with ethnicities other<br />

than New Zealand European,<br />

including nine per cent Māori.<br />

The draft Long-Term Plan will<br />

be released in April for residents<br />

to provide further feedback and<br />

make submissions, with the opportunity<br />

to provide submissions<br />

and attend hearings.<br />

A final Long-Term Plan 2024-<br />

2034 must be adopted by the<br />

council before the next financial<br />

year, beginning July 1.<br />

Climate report forecasts extremes<br />

• By Daniel Alvey<br />

THE COUNCIL has been urged<br />

not to ignore a new climate<br />

change report.<br />

The report, carried out by<br />

Aqualink for the council, looked<br />

at the impacts of climate change<br />

on council infrastructure,<br />

forecasting effects out to the end<br />

of the century.<br />

Research and development<br />

business manager Dr Andrew<br />

Dark said if infrastructure is<br />

designed to cope with extreme<br />

weather events in today’s climate,<br />

it is more likely to survive in the<br />

future.<br />

The report recommended that<br />

the council not put it on the shelf<br />

for three years, and continue to<br />

work on reducing the impacts of<br />

climate change.<br />

“The general<br />

message of<br />

climate change<br />

is that we<br />

need to brace<br />

ourselves<br />

to greater<br />

Dark<br />

volatility<br />

in weather<br />

patterns with<br />

a greater incident of extreme<br />

events like extreme rainfall,<br />

wind and droughts,” the report<br />

said.<br />

Mayor Sam Broughton said<br />

they would not be ignoring the<br />

report.<br />

“Climate change is very much<br />

at the top of council’s agenda.<br />

“Our council was one of the<br />

earliest signatories to the New<br />

Zealand Local Government<br />

Leaders’ Climate Change<br />

Declaration 2<strong>01</strong>7.<br />

“Commissioning the report<br />

was part of that work and will<br />

not sit on the shelf. It ensures our<br />

data is up to date as we develop<br />

our Long-Term Plan,” he said.<br />

were based off regional and<br />

Dark said in the last 100<br />

years the average recorded<br />

temperature has risen by 1 deg<br />

C, but is forecast to rise by up<br />

to 3.5 deg C by the end of the<br />

century.<br />

Combined sea level rises of<br />

up to 90cm by the end of the<br />

century and higher expected<br />

lake levels at Te Waihora Lake<br />

effectiveness of the land drainage<br />

network will be reduced.<br />

Dark urged the council to look<br />

at the groundwater network with<br />

higher water levels expected<br />

As part of its priorities for<br />

the incoming government, the<br />

council asked for more flood<br />

prevention funding and a longterm<br />

investment to restore Lake<br />

Ellesmere.<br />

Dark said there is a wideranging<br />

amount of potential<br />

impacts on assets due to climate<br />

change.<br />

The number of hot days,<br />

classified as 25 deg C and above,<br />

is projected to increase by 10-20<br />

days by 2040, and by 2090 the<br />

Over 10 Years in <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

ROLLESTON OFFICE<br />

80A Rolleston Drive, Rolleston<br />

number of hot days is projected<br />

to increase by up to 60 days.<br />

Dark said the increase in hot<br />

days will mean more irrigation<br />

will be required.<br />

By 2040 the number of frosty<br />

days is projected to decrease<br />

by 10-30, and by 20-50 by the<br />

year 2090, with the number<br />

of snowfall days expected to<br />

decrease by 10-25 days.<br />

Dark said the average rainfall<br />

is likely to stay the same, but the<br />

seasonal distribution of it will<br />

change. Winter will see 40 per<br />

cent more of the yearly rainfall<br />

than it currently does.<br />

“We are expecting more<br />

rain to fall over winter, up to<br />

40 per cent by the end of the<br />

century, and we are expecting<br />

the number of extreme rainfall<br />

events to increase,” he said.<br />

An example of the effects<br />

of these changes is the road<br />

network; with the increased<br />

number of hot days leading to<br />

more road degradation, and<br />

an increase in extreme rainfall<br />

poses risks to bridges and other<br />

assets, bringing more road<br />

closures.<br />

Dark said the higher end of<br />

the predictions is based on the<br />

scenario in which little action is<br />

taken to combat climate change.<br />

COURT 7<br />

Retirement home robber pleads guilty<br />

• By Emily Moorhouse<br />

AN ELDERLY Darfield resident<br />

thought she was going to die<br />

when a stranger walked through<br />

her retirement village front door<br />

and held a knife to her throat.<br />

Kalib Kerr-Millar then<br />

searched her home before stealing<br />

the woman’s late husband’s<br />

watches and fleeing in her car.<br />

The 27-year-old appeared<br />

at the district court last week,<br />

where he admitted two burglaries<br />

of elderly people and driving<br />

on the wrong side of the road as<br />

he left the scene.<br />

He pleaded guilty to a raft of<br />

charges including aggravated<br />

burglary, theft, assault with a<br />

weapon, burglary, unlawfully<br />

getting into and taking a<br />

motor vehicle and dangerous<br />

driving.<br />

The summary of facts said on<br />

July 12 last year, Kerr-Millar was<br />

travelling with an associate from<br />

Timaru to Christchurch in a<br />

stolen vehicle.<br />

The pair filled up the car with<br />

$218 of petrol at a BP station on<br />

Evans St, Timaru, and left without<br />

paying.<br />

When they were driving<br />

through Methven, police noticed<br />

the stolen vehicle and used road<br />

spikes to deflate its tyres.<br />

The pair then began to overtake<br />

other cars at speed, fishtailing<br />

across the road and accelerating<br />

towards officers preparing<br />

to spike the vehicle again.<br />

Kerr-Millar and his associate<br />

abandoned the vehicle and Kerr-<br />

Millar hid from police.<br />

Between 2.35pm and 7.15pm<br />

that day, he went to an 81-yearold’s<br />

home in a retirement<br />

complex on Ross St, in Darfield.<br />

He entered through the external<br />

garage door and attempted to<br />

steal a Toyota IST but was unable<br />

to start the vehicle because it had<br />

a steering lock.<br />

He stole a black shoulder bag<br />

containing film, a camera and a<br />

pair of socks before leaving.<br />

About 7.15pm, he entered<br />

another home at a retirement<br />

village in Darfield, through the<br />

front door.<br />

The 80-year-old occupant was<br />

watching rugby. Kerr-Millar<br />

approached her holding a knife<br />

and demanded she hand over her<br />

money and car keys.<br />

He then looked through her<br />

medication before demanding<br />

again that she hand over her keys<br />

and money.<br />

The woman looked for the<br />

and held<br />

keys in a drawer that had some<br />

of her late husband’s watches<br />

in it. Kerr-Millar grabbed some<br />

of the watches and put them in<br />

his pocket before searching the<br />

drawer for money and taking the<br />

woman’s car keys.<br />

He also took her handbag and,<br />

holding the knife to the left side<br />

of her body, walked her to her<br />

car.<br />

She opened the external garage<br />

door so he could drive her 2<strong>01</strong>7<br />

Mazda 3 away. As she did so,<br />

she closed and locked the<br />

internal garage door to get away<br />

This report was produced by Open<br />

Justice – Te Pātītī, a Public<br />

Interest Journalism initiative<br />

funded by NZ on Air<br />

from him.<br />

When Kerr-Millar realised she<br />

had locked the internal door, he<br />

crashed through it, pinning her<br />

to the wall.<br />

He then placed the knife<br />

against her throat and traced<br />

it back and forth. Although he<br />

did not cut her, she could feel<br />

the blade against her neck and<br />

thought she was going to die.<br />

She suffered a lumbar sprain as<br />

a result of the incident.<br />

Kerr-Millar then left in her car.<br />

Shortly afterwards, police saw<br />

him driving erratically at speeds<br />

of up to 160km/h on the wrong<br />

side of the road in the stolen car<br />

when there was heavy rain and<br />

surface flooding in the Canterbury<br />

region.<br />

Police stopped him and found<br />

the stolen black shoulder bag, the<br />

woman’s handbag, clothing from<br />

the first burglary, watches and a<br />

large knife.<br />

Kerr-Millar was remanded in<br />

custody until his sentencing in<br />

February next year.<br />

Synlait chair<br />

resigns<br />

SYNLAIT chair and director<br />

Simon Robertson has resigned<br />

after an exclusive supply deal<br />

with a2 Milk was cancelled.<br />

Independent director Paul<br />

McGilvary was elected as<br />

acting chair until the position is<br />

permanently filled.<br />

Robertson’s departure comes<br />

a year after he took the role<br />

over from one of the company’s<br />

founders, John Penno.<br />

The Dunsandel based<br />

company is trying to sell its<br />

Dairyworks business to pay<br />

down debt. But in the meantime,<br />

its biggest customer, a2 Milk,<br />

is now looking to reduce its<br />

reliance on Synlait by investing<br />

more in its Southland plant.<br />

Last month a2 Milk cancelled<br />

Synlait’s exclusive supply rights<br />

for stages one to three infant<br />

formula, saying the company’s<br />

delivery levels fell below the<br />

required standard.<br />

Synlait and a2 Milk<br />

announced last week they<br />

were heading to binding<br />

arbitration over Synlait’s<br />

cancelled supply agreement.<br />

Synlait has disputed a2 had<br />

the right to cancel the exclusivity<br />

arrangement. The company will<br />

continue to make infant formula<br />

for a2 under its three-year<br />

rolling-term contract.<br />

A LINCOLN bar will be<br />

demolished after suffering severe<br />

damage in a fire.<br />

Fire ripped through the Black<br />

Door Bar and Eatery in Roberts<br />

St in the early hours of August 26.<br />

Now it has been determined<br />

the building is too damaged to<br />

repair.<br />

“We have been given the<br />

devastating news that Black<br />

Door is to be completely<br />

demolished,” the business said<br />

on Facebook.<br />

“Hearts are breaking as we<br />

lose this beautiful venue in our<br />

wonderful wee town. So much<br />

love and hard work has gone<br />

into this place over the years and<br />

more recently this year by us,<br />

the new owners.<br />

“We were so excited for our<br />

first summer, we had so many<br />

exciting plans for you to all<br />

enjoy with us.”<br />

The business does not own the<br />

building.<br />

“Unfortunately what happens<br />

to 6 Robert St and when, is now<br />

out of our control.”<br />

In September, the fire was<br />

deemed to be caused by a plate<br />

warmer.<br />

The plate warmer, which had<br />

been in place for a number of<br />

years, had dried out the timber<br />

around it, making it more likely<br />

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

Black Door beyond repair<br />

to catch fire.<br />

Fire investigators said either<br />

the plate warmer had an<br />

electrical failure causing the<br />

dry timbers around it to ignite<br />

or the timbers self-ignited from<br />

residual heat.<br />

Lincoln Volunteer Fire Brigade<br />

responded to the call along with<br />

other crews from Rolleston and<br />

Christchurch.<br />

Despite the loss of the<br />

business, the team has not given<br />

up.<br />

“We have not given up our<br />

dream of giving Lincoln the best<br />

food, cocktails and service so<br />

will be keeping all our options<br />

open. Hoping to find a way back<br />

to you all in the near future!<br />

“Thank you again for all the<br />

support we have received from<br />

you all since the fire, it really has<br />

been amazing.”<br />

Dog park<br />

gets more<br />

training<br />

time<br />

• By Daniel Alvey<br />

THE SELWYN Dog Training<br />

Club will now be able to host an<br />

extra training night.<br />

The club applied to add Monday<br />

nights, 6.30-9pm, to its current<br />

nights of Tuesday Wednesday<br />

and Thursday, along with Sunday<br />

mornings.<br />

The club was seeking the additional<br />

night of training to spread<br />

out the number of those attending<br />

each night to allow trainers<br />

to better manage classes and<br />

improve parking in and around<br />

the dog park.<br />

Council finance and performance<br />

committee members were<br />

supportive of the club’s proposal<br />

and approved the change to its<br />

lease.<br />

In September there were 2342<br />

dogs registered in the Rolleston<br />

area belonging to 1239 owners.<br />

Given the amount of users of<br />

the park, the council chose to seek<br />

public consultation which came<br />

back 71.1 per cent in support of<br />

the change and the club’s work.<br />

During training times 1.27ha of<br />

the park will still be available for<br />

general users.<br />

THERE IS hope a new home<br />

can be found for a popular bike<br />

park.<br />

The Lincoln jump park which<br />

was revitalised by a group of local<br />

teenagers is due to be demolished<br />

to make way for Meijer<br />

Dr to connect with Boundary<br />

Rd as part of the work to extend<br />

Lincoln Domain.<br />

The park has proved popular<br />

after a large jump was added,<br />

with many heading along to<br />

hone their skills.<br />

It was always known the park<br />

was temporary, with the hope a<br />

new location could be found.<br />

Mike Barnsley, father of one<br />

of the teens responsible for the<br />

park’s new success, said they<br />

have had positive talks with the<br />

council to find a new home for<br />

it.<br />

“We’re stoked,” he said.<br />

“I have been thoroughly impressed<br />

with how positive and<br />

enabling they have been all the<br />

way through.”<br />

Barnsley said they working<br />

with the council to secure a<br />

location for the park, with the<br />

current plan to put it somewhere<br />

in the extended reserve space<br />

near the Meijer Dr extension.<br />

HARD WORK: Fergus Barnsley, Erik Williams and Josh McCarthy hope to be able to do<br />

more jumps like this once a new home for the park is found.<br />

He said Fergus, his son, and<br />

friends Erik Williams and Josh<br />

McCarthy have remained connected<br />

with the project.<br />

“The boys have put together<br />

a bit of a layout plan which<br />

has gone through. It was quite<br />

intentional to have the boys involved<br />

with it so they can learn<br />

some stuff about how the world<br />

around them works.”<br />

Council head of capital works<br />

Kamal Narang said no final<br />

decisions have been made for<br />

the park.<br />

“The council is still in discussion<br />

with the jump users about<br />

possible options for the future<br />

and no decisions have been<br />

made.”<br />

The park is currently closed<br />

for use while the council remove<br />

trees in the area as part of the<br />

project, with it expected to<br />

reopen in a few weeks. Once the<br />

work has been completed it is<br />

expected to remain open for a<br />

while longer, with no final date<br />

set.<br />

The road extension is due<br />

to take place in the 2025/26<br />

financial year and the design is<br />

in progress.<br />

Narang wanted to remind<br />

people not to enter the site while<br />

it was fenced off.<br />

“We have had a few people<br />

entering the site over the past<br />

few weeks. With the site being<br />

unsafe due to tree removal work<br />

and a number of questions from<br />

the community around about<br />

what was happening we thought<br />

it was timely to remind people<br />

about what was happening and<br />

to stay safe.”<br />

Council to increase sports facilities<br />

due to growing population<br />

• By Daniel Alvey<br />

THE DISTRICT will now have a<br />

framework for prioritising sport<br />

and recreation facility upgrades.<br />

This year the council has<br />

focused on developing a plan<br />

for sport and recreation in the<br />

district as it responds to the<br />

growing need for new facilities<br />

and upgrades to cope with<br />

growth.<br />

The Spaces and Places plan<br />

now adopted by council will<br />

sit alongside the Waikirikiri<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> Play, Active Recreation<br />

and Sport strategic action<br />

plan (PARS plan) and help<br />

guide where council invests its<br />

resources.<br />

The plan sets out the district’s<br />

challenges and how it will deal<br />

with them. The main challenge<br />

is a growing population leading<br />

to increased participation in<br />

sports.<br />

By 2048 the district population<br />

is expected to be 131,000,<br />

with Rolleston and Lincoln to<br />

account for nearly 50 per cent of<br />

the district’s population by 2033.<br />

“<strong>Selwyn</strong> District has been<br />

in a significant growth mode<br />

for some time which is placing<br />

EXPANSION: A new 100ha park will be built on the eastern<br />

side of Rolleston to keep up with district growth.<br />

pressure on the assets and<br />

facilities provided by council to<br />

support participation in play,<br />

active recreation and sports<br />

activities,” council asset manager<br />

of open spaces and facilities<br />

Mark Rykers said in his report.<br />

“The (PARS) Spaces and<br />

Places Plan has been developed<br />

to provide direction on projects<br />

and actions needed to respond to<br />

this growth and the consequent<br />

demand.”<br />

In the last three years<br />

gymnastics, basketball,<br />

football, roller sports,<br />

pickleball, cricket,<br />

softball, hockey, motor<br />

racing, and archery have<br />

all seen large increases<br />

in participation numbers<br />

(11 per cent or higher).<br />

The plan also sets<br />

out current planned investment<br />

Mark Rykers<br />

which includes a new reserve<br />

on the eastern side of Rolleston,<br />

more fields at Kakaha Park, a<br />

Prebbleton community centre<br />

and the Lincoln Domain<br />

extension.<br />

Council has purchased about<br />

99 hectares of land with the<br />

intention of developing it to<br />

accommodate the needs of the<br />

district’s growing population.<br />

Council major projects<br />

manager Phil Millar said design<br />

work on the first stage, about 35<br />

hectares, will begin next year.<br />

“We are currently starting the<br />

needs assessment and visioning<br />

stage of the project and aim to<br />

start gathering ideas from the<br />

community early next year to<br />

help us identify the community<br />

needs and desires for the park.<br />

“As a significant asset for<br />

the district, we want the<br />

development (. . .) to have<br />

strong community input,”<br />

Millar said.<br />

Currently the district’s<br />

sports park provision<br />

is above the national<br />

benchmark,<br />

but in some areas the<br />

amount of facilities<br />

available currently doesn’t meet<br />

the required need.<br />

The Rolleston/West Melton/<br />

Weedons catchment is expected<br />

to remain under-supplied until<br />

the new 100 hectare district park<br />

comes online, with a suggestion<br />

the development of the park<br />

could be bought forward to<br />

2024/25 to help close the gap<br />

quicker.<br />

The Lincoln/Prebbleton/<br />

Broadfield/Springston<br />

catchment will continue to be<br />

under-supplied until 2027/28<br />

unless Kakaha Park and Lincoln<br />

Domain extensions are brought<br />

forward.<br />

As part of adopting the plan,<br />

council supported in principal<br />

the implementation of the<br />

actions and priorities subject<br />

to budget approval, as well<br />

as funding for projects in the<br />

annual and long term plans.<br />

Currently the plan outlines<br />

a total capital expenditure<br />

programme of $75 million,<br />

about $40 million of which is<br />

currently budgeted for in the<br />

2021-31 LTP.<br />

“It is intended that this<br />

programme is considered in<br />

preparing the draft 2024-34<br />

LTP,” Rykers said.<br />

COURT<br />

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

Gunman declined parole over concerns<br />

for the community he ‘terrorised’<br />

• By Sam Sherwood<br />

A MASKED gunman who shot<br />

two women during a horrific<br />

home invasion in Rolleston and<br />

robbed six Canterbury pubs and<br />

bars at gunpoint, making off<br />

with $115,000 during a five-week<br />

reign of terror, has been declined<br />

parole.<br />

The Parole Board said it was<br />

concerned about his proposed<br />

release “to the very community<br />

he terrorised”.<br />

Douglas Anderson Roake,<br />

then 23, was jailed for 13<br />

years and eight months with a<br />

minimum non-parole period<br />

of six-and-a-half years in 2<strong>01</strong>7<br />

following his crime spree. The<br />

money he stole has never been<br />

recovered.<br />

Roake, who worked as a security<br />

guard at Richie McCaw’s<br />

wedding, made his first appearance<br />

before the Parole Board<br />

earlier this month at Rolleston<br />

Prison.<br />

The board’s report described<br />

his offending as “extremely serious<br />

and premeditated”.<br />

Roake had no previous convictions<br />

and had struggled with<br />

“obsessive behaviour and rigid<br />

thinking patterns”.<br />

At sentencing, Roake said the<br />

money was stolen in order to obtain<br />

illegal body-building drugs<br />

for strongman competitions.<br />

There was also a suggestion he<br />

may have been affected by misuse<br />

of performance-enhancing<br />

drugs, but the sentencing judge<br />

was not convinced of a link with<br />

the offending.<br />

Roake expressed “regret” for<br />

the offending, and said he knew<br />

it had caused the victims a “lifetime<br />

of trauma”, the board said.<br />

He had been “highly motivated”<br />

to engage in treatment<br />

while in prison.<br />

Roake was now assessed as<br />

posing a low risk of violent reoffending,<br />

with the risk scenario<br />

centred on manipulation by<br />

others.<br />

“There was real cruelty and<br />

pubs and shooting two women in a home invasion.<br />

PHOTO: POOL<br />

callousness in his treatment<br />

of the victims, who included<br />

people known to him who had<br />

treated him well.”<br />

Roake was now considered to<br />

be on the “reintegration pathway”.<br />

He had been working in the<br />

Rolleston Prison construction<br />

yard and there were “very good”<br />

reports of his work ethic and his<br />

interactions with others.<br />

“Mr Roake wants to return to<br />

bodybuilding but told the board<br />

he does not need to take supplements<br />

or testosterone in order to<br />

achieve this.”<br />

His proposed release address<br />

was in Christchurch, close to<br />

the scenes of a number of his<br />

robberies.<br />

It was proposed to manage<br />

victim notification register<br />

concerns with exclusion zones of<br />

Christchurch and Rolleston, and<br />

it was intended that he would be<br />

reporting to probation in Ashburton<br />

and taking back routes to<br />

achieve this.<br />

The board did not believe his<br />

treatment to date to be of the<br />

“expected intensity” for such<br />

offending.<br />

“We also have real concerns<br />

about the proposed release,<br />

essentially back to the very community<br />

he terrorised”.<br />

There were a large number of<br />

victims who were left “deeply<br />

traumatised”.<br />

Creating a limited exclusion<br />

zone was in the board’s view<br />

“inappropriately places the onus<br />

on victims” to confine themselves<br />

to those zones.<br />

The board said there was still<br />

work to do, without which risk<br />

was undue.<br />

The board will see Roake<br />

again in July 2024.<br />

After four armed robberies of<br />

pubs across Canterbury, Roake’s<br />

spree came to a terror-stricken<br />

crescendo on April 19.<br />

At about 10pm, he went<br />

to a farm in Rolleston where<br />

Nicola Dawson and her daughter<br />

Michaela lived in the main<br />

house.<br />

Her aunty Deidre Dawson<br />

lived in a barn at the property.<br />

Heavily-disguised, with a<br />

black woollen hat with the eyes<br />

cut out, Roake entered the farm<br />

carrying a long-barrelled pump<br />

action shotgun and black sports<br />

bag containing a mallet.<br />

As Deidre was putting items<br />

in her car parked outside, Roake<br />

appeared, pointing the gun at<br />

her.<br />

He ordered her into the house.<br />

While Roake was distracted,<br />

she managed to flee and phone<br />

police.<br />

Roake blasted two shots into<br />

the locked front door of the<br />

main house, where the mother<br />

and daughter, Nicola and<br />

Michaela, had been watching<br />

TV.<br />

He told them to get on the<br />

floor and demanded money and<br />

keys to a car.<br />

Michaela, believing she was<br />

going to be killed, refused to lie<br />

down, and tried to grab the gun.<br />

Meanwhile, 53-year-old Nicola<br />

ran from the room and phoned<br />

police, as well as her son who<br />

lived nearby.<br />

Roake hit Michaela with the<br />

mallet, aiming at her<br />

head, before shooting her in the<br />

leg.<br />

She tried to run away, and<br />

Roake was bashing her again<br />

with the mallet when Nicola<br />

came back into the room and<br />

tried to strike him with a vase.<br />

He swung the firearm to<br />

Nicola and he told her: “I’m<br />

going to shoot you”.<br />

He shot her in the stomach,<br />

causing her to fall to the floor.<br />

Her son Creighton had<br />

then showed up. Roake aimed<br />

at his head, but was out of<br />

ammunition.<br />

After the home invasion,<br />

Roake fled to Ashburton where<br />

he held up the Ashburton Hotel.<br />

“This is a robbery, get inside,<br />

and lie on the ground,” he said.<br />

He fired a shot into a wall and<br />

then two more into the cash till<br />

as he tried to open it.<br />

He took $1645 in cash from<br />

the safe before fleeing to an<br />

address at Rakaia Huts.<br />

Police found him the following<br />

morning where he admitted the<br />

Ashburton robbery.<br />

– NZ Herald<br />

MOTIVE:<br />

Roake said<br />

the money<br />

from the<br />

robberies was<br />

to fund illegal<br />

body-building<br />

drugs for<br />

strongman<br />

competitions.<br />

MOTUKARARA 2411 Christchurch Akaroa Road<br />

268ha Sheep and Cattle Property Close to Christchurch<br />

Our retiring vendor has decided after 32 years of ownership now is<br />

the time to downsize which means this diverse sheep and beef<br />

property situated around 30km from the outskirts of Christchurch is<br />

now available to purchase.<br />

With a good balance of flats and hill, the property is easily accessible<br />

with lane ways and farm tracks, also with a good mix of shelter. Stock<br />

and domestic water is supplied from a bore supplying troughs and<br />

houses. Two dwellings, one being on its own 4ha title, a wool shed,<br />

sheep and cattle yards and an array of farm sheds complete the<br />

property. Being so close to Christchurch this will appeal to those<br />

looking for a country escape with scale, an addition to an existing<br />

farming operation, tourism, or a first farm. With its diverse<br />

topography and its own microclimate this is a rare opportunity not<br />

to be missed.<br />

Festival an annual highlight<br />

for Ellesmere Big Band<br />

A WEEK AFTER bad weather<br />

halted its performance at<br />

the Ellesmere Show, the<br />

Ellesmere Big Band took part<br />

in the Christchurch Big Band<br />

Festival.<br />

The Big Band Festival has<br />

become an annual highlight,<br />

with bands from as far away<br />

as Invercargill and Nelson<br />

playing over Labour weekend,<br />

as well as Christchurch school<br />

bands.<br />

The Ellesmere Big Band<br />

sported new shirts bought<br />

with a grant from Ellesmere<br />

Lions and was led by new<br />

band leader Vincent Leahy,<br />

who has family ties to<br />

Ellesmere and teaches music<br />

at Hagley College.<br />

The band’s four days of<br />

performance started at<br />

Riverside Market on Saturday.<br />

Ellesmere Big Band chairperson<br />

Alex Hayward described<br />

it as a “somewhat surreal<br />

experience” with a large<br />

crowd of Palestine supporters<br />

congregating at the Bridge of<br />

Remembrance while the band<br />

was playing.<br />

Due to wet weather,<br />

Sunday’s performance at<br />

ON STAGE: The Ellesmere Big Band performing at the Big Band Festival.<br />

Victoria Square was relocated<br />

to the Church Bar (what<br />

was the Trinity Church in<br />

Manchester St).<br />

Said Hayward: “It was a<br />

great venue to play in, with<br />

its stained glass windows and<br />

vaulted wooden ceiling.”<br />

Sunday evening saw the<br />

band playing at Fat Eddies<br />

Bar to another appreciative<br />

audience, including friends<br />

from the Swing Dancers.<br />

Monday dawned sunny,<br />

with a large crowd attending<br />

the Picnic in the Park. The<br />

band joined 13 others in a<br />

non-stop performance across<br />

two adjacent stages.<br />

Hayward said band<br />

members thoroughly enjoyed<br />

performing and listening<br />

to the other bands, all of<br />

whom provided four days<br />

entertainment without<br />

renumeration.<br />

• Ellesmere Big Band’s<br />

next performance will<br />

be at the Lincoln Santa<br />

Parade on December 9<br />

THE ANNUAL Labour Day Hororata<br />

Parish Spring Fair saw a large crowd<br />

enjoy a good-spirited community<br />

event.<br />

“This is an important event for the<br />

parish as it helps fund pastoral care<br />

in our community but equally it is a<br />

great affordable family day out that<br />

brings many people together,” committee<br />

member Nicola Hardy said.<br />

There were more than 60 market<br />

stalls, and a range of activities.<br />

With entertainment from Duncan<br />

Chisholm and the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Community<br />

Choir, there was plenty to keep<br />

the crowd of nearly 2000 people busy.<br />

The popular creative kids’ competition<br />

saw children from around Malvern<br />

draw and build places that are<br />

special to them in the community.<br />

“It is also a chance for locals to have<br />

a spring clean and we were donated<br />

some amazing items for our white<br />

elephant stall and country auction.<br />

Lots of people went away with a smile<br />

having found a treasure to take home.<br />

“Thank you to everyone who came,<br />

the stallholders, performers, activity<br />

providers, sponsors, donors and most<br />

of all amazing team of volunteers who<br />

made it all happen,” Hardy said.<br />

ENTERTAIN: The <strong>Selwyn</strong> Choir was one of the musical performers. Right – Liam Dodds, Macsen Innes, Toby<br />

School leavers grow into no-nonsense<br />

shepherds on high country station<br />

At Coleridge Downs<br />

station, Cosmo Kentish-<br />

Barnes finds out about<br />

a cadetship programme<br />

turning fresh-faced<br />

school leavers into<br />

hardy shepherds<br />

COLERIDGE Downs overlooks<br />

the Rakaia Gorge on the<br />

northern side of the mighty<br />

river, and the scenery around<br />

the station’s rolling hills is<br />

spectacular.<br />

Mt Hutt, Peak Hill and the<br />

Benmore Range are constant<br />

reminders of the Southern Alps<br />

and the harsh environment it<br />

holds.<br />

The station offers four cadet<br />

placements each year, for a twoyear<br />

cadetship.<br />

Jack Innes is a second-year cadet<br />

who was just 17 when he arrived.<br />

But, despite his age, Innes<br />

says it was easy to settle in.<br />

“Everyone was pretty friendly<br />

so you fit in pretty quick.”<br />

Innes was given a working dog<br />

pup when he arrived. Now he has<br />

three.<br />

“And I’m planning on buying<br />

another broken-in heading dog at<br />

the end of this year.”<br />

As a cadet, practical training<br />

is provided by working alongside<br />

senior staff in the day-to-day<br />

management of sheep, beef and<br />

deer farms – a total of 9000 hectares<br />

running 45,000 stock units.<br />

General manager Tony<br />

Plunkett said the cadetship<br />

programme has been running for<br />

nine years, but<br />

it all began with<br />

his own sons.<br />

“We were<br />

looking around<br />

for a training<br />

programme for<br />

them and just<br />

Tony<br />

Plunkett<br />

found that there<br />

wasn’t a lot out<br />

there.”<br />

By pure coincidence, a good<br />

friend was pushing to start a<br />

programme in the South Island.<br />

And the rest is history.<br />

SHARING KNOWLEDGE: The cadetship programme at Coleridge Downs has been<br />

running for nine years.<br />

PHOTOS: COSMO KENTISH-BARNES<br />

The four cadets for next year<br />

have been chosen from 30 applicants,<br />

Plunkett said.<br />

“We probably see the other side<br />

of the industry. We get a bit sick<br />

of hearing about no young people<br />

coming into the industry and yet<br />

we’ve got this cadet thing going.<br />

“We’ve got 30 kids apply for<br />

four (spaces). Of that, we could<br />

easily take 20 of them who all<br />

want to get into agriculture. They<br />

just need the opportunity to<br />

start.”<br />

Further up the gorge, first-year<br />

cadet Lucy Moffatt is checking<br />

on a mob of sheep.<br />

Moffat said she had always<br />

wanted to work in the agricultural<br />

industry but did not want<br />

to head to university straight out<br />

of school.<br />

“School wasn’t really what I<br />

wanted to do. I wanted to do<br />

something a lot more practical<br />

and hands-on, and we’re still getting<br />

a lot of learning.<br />

“I’d love to go shepherding<br />

down south next.”<br />

The learning is centred around<br />

the farming calendar.<br />

Said training manager Kristen<br />

O’Callaghan: “We’ll be working<br />

really hard on everything to do<br />

with lambing and calving and<br />

feeding at the moment.<br />

Kristen<br />

O’Callaghan<br />

LEARNERS: Jack Innes at the on-farm accommodation unit for the cadets and first-year cadet Lucy Moffat.<br />

“It gets a<br />

bit too busy<br />

through summer<br />

so we don’t<br />

do quite so<br />

much classwork<br />

and then come<br />

next autumnwinter,<br />

we do a<br />

lot of classwork<br />

through those times.”<br />

O’Callaghan said the students<br />

get stroppy if they have not had a<br />

class in a while.<br />

However, class time was also<br />

a good opportunity for her to<br />

check on the students’ welfare.<br />

“A massive part of it is pastoral<br />

care. They just can’t succeed unless<br />

they are looked after.<br />

“A lot of them are 17 when they<br />

arrive. It’s not always smooth<br />

sailing. It’s always fun for the<br />

first week. And then by the end<br />

of a couple of months in the hot,<br />

dry summer, there’s usually a few<br />

tears for most of them.”<br />

O’Callaghan said her job as<br />

‘camp mother’ was to put a bit<br />

of care around them and get the<br />

students going again.<br />

“There’s so many kids out there<br />

that are keen and just want that<br />

start and it’s so hard to get that<br />

good start without them being<br />

soured.”<br />

She believes other farmers<br />

need to be prepared to put in the<br />

time to train and support young<br />

workers – and then there might<br />

not be such a shortage of workers.<br />

Sustainable community<br />

the vision for future<br />

A sustainable community is the primary vision for <strong>Selwyn</strong> residents over the<br />

next decade.<br />

Almost 800 residents gave feedback on their priorities for the next 10 years, to<br />

support the development of the district’s Long-Term Plan 2024-34, which will be<br />

out for consultation in April.<br />

Residents highlighted the importance of a ‘sustainable <strong>Selwyn</strong>’, where the district<br />

is self-sufficient with services and facilities for people at all stages of life and the<br />

environment is cared for.<br />

“The community has been clear in its ambitions and it’s an exciting vision for the<br />

future,” Mayor Sam Broughton says. “Now we need to work together with our<br />

community on a plan for achieving those, including what the realistic costs are and<br />

what trade-offs may be required.”<br />

To make this possible, people indicated a desire for the district to become more<br />

economically innovative, and a better spread of infrastructure and services,<br />

Council Chief Executive Sharon Mason says.<br />

“People love what we have, with 86% of people saying they have a positive<br />

experience of living here. There’s also a strong desire for clear planning, to<br />

protect that.”<br />

Residents also indicated an openness to necessary funding decisions including<br />

increasing rates if it was to achieve their priorities.<br />

“We’ve got the direction for where people want to go, now the task is to nail down<br />

a plan to achieve what we can. To achieve the outcomes sought by the community<br />

will require extra funding. It’s good to see people are realistic about that. We are<br />

conscious of affordability and we’re looking at different ways to cover those costs,<br />

which could include significant rates increases. We’ll put those options out to<br />

community to consider.”<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> welcomes new citizens<br />

In the Council's recent citizenship ceremony, newcomers and long-term residents took<br />

a collective step towards officially becoming Kiwis.<br />

The ceremony, held at Te Ara Ātea, was attended by family, friends and supporters<br />

as 39 individuals received their New Zealand citizenship. Hailing from 11 different<br />

countries, including Libya, Brazil, the Philippines, and more, <strong>Selwyn</strong>'s newest Kiwis<br />

were welcomed by Te Taumutu Rūnanga chairperson Liz Brown who opened the<br />

event and introduced with a waiata.<br />

Special guests included Major Lawrence Field from the Defence Force, Deputy Mayor<br />

Malcolm Lyall, Councillors Elizabeth Mundt and Phil Dean, and Dr Surinder Tandon,<br />

President of the Christchurch Multicultural Council.<br />

Mayor Sam Broughton who led the event, encouraged the group to bring enriching<br />

elements like their traditions, language, culture, history, and faith to the wider<br />

community, all of which adds a rich layer to our district and nation.<br />

Don’t run dry this summer<br />

The hot weather is coming and it’s time to make sure we’re being smart with<br />

our water use and make sure we don’t run dry this summer.<br />

With El Niño here NIWA is<br />

forecasting a hot, dry, windy<br />

summer for <strong>Selwyn</strong>. That’s<br />

why we’re reminding residents<br />

to use water wisely through<br />

simple habits that help your<br />

garden, save you money and<br />

help keep water flowing for<br />

everyone without<br />

water restrictions.<br />

Now is the time to get<br />

into good habits, Council<br />

Acting Executive Director<br />

Infrastructure and Property<br />

Murray England says.<br />

“Everyone has a part in<br />

making sure we have enough<br />

water throughout summer. With the winds we’ve had things are drying out<br />

fast, but the good news is there’s lots of simple things we can all do that are<br />

good for your garden, the environment, your wallet and the wider community.<br />

Things like watering efficiently and using the water clock to water outside of<br />

peak times, it all adds up to a better summer for everyone.”<br />

Tips for saving water at home<br />

• Skip some days watering to keep your plants strong.<br />

Water your garden and lawn every few days rather than every day.<br />

Watering every day encourages roots to develop at the surface, making<br />

them more vulnerable to hot dry spells.<br />

• Water for shorter.<br />

For example, watering for three 5-minute intervals over a couple of<br />

hours lets the soil absorb more water than watering for<br />

15 minutes continuously.<br />

• Use a watering can on your garden.<br />

It uses less water and gives you more control to water at the roots,<br />

where the plants need the water to grow strong — not on the leaves.<br />

• Water what needs it.<br />

Your driveway, footpath, or buildings don't need watering.<br />

Consider not watering your berm or your lawn too — let it die off during<br />

summer to save money on your water rates and wear and tear on your<br />

lawn mower.<br />

• Mulch or cover.<br />

Covering the soil with mulch or organic matter keeps moisture in the<br />

soil, protects roots from sun and wind and reduces weeds.<br />

• Check for leaks.<br />

Inspect hoses and taps.<br />

Malvern Principals building Sister Schools<br />

relationships in China<br />

In a two-week journey through China, a delegation of Malvern Primary School Principals, along with<br />

Darfield High School’s Principal and International Director, deepened their understanding of Chinese<br />

culture and established Sister School relationships.<br />

The Council as part of the Sister Cities Committees, supports educational links through the Sister<br />

Schools initiative, which seeks to contribute to global networking, cultural enrichment, and the<br />

development of international perspectives for students, educators, and communities.<br />

Joined by colleagues from high schools and area schools in Christchurch and Dunedin, the delegation's<br />

primary goal was to explore the enduring legacy of Rewi Alley.<br />

Born in Springfield in 1897, Alley was known for dedicating his life to establishing schools and<br />

cooperatives for the rural poor in China, and through his writings on Chinese industry and philosophy.<br />

In Gansu province, the delegation visited schools in Shandan and Lanzhou, with a special focus on<br />

Shandan Bailie Vocational College, a Sister School with Darfield High School for nearly 26 years.<br />

Darfield High School Principal Andy England presented a traditional Māori weapon, the tewhatewha, to<br />

Principal Peng, symbolising the unity of their two peoples across distance and connecting earth and sky<br />

— a sentiment deeply inspired by Rewi Alley's legacy.<br />

The delegation, led by Allison Rosanowski, expressed gratitude for the warm welcome received.<br />

"It was gratifying to observe the way the delegation was welcomed wherever they travelled. The<br />

school visits were particularly memorable, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Chinese<br />

education" she said.<br />

Other highlights included seeing the Great Wall, the Summer Palace, Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden<br />

City, and a moa skeleton donated by Roger Duff of the Canterbury Museum.<br />

Douglas poised to shift up a gear<br />

TEST: Lincoln teenager Jacob Douglas was in the USF Pro 2000 car for the first time 10<br />

days ago. The test follows his back-to-back wins in USF 2000 in September (right).<br />

• By Daniel Alvey<br />

LINCOLN teenager Jacob<br />

Douglas is expecting to move up<br />

the ladder in his pursuit to get to<br />

the top tier of motorsport.<br />

The 18-year-old is looking to<br />

make the move from USF 2000<br />

to USF Pro 2000, the next step<br />

on the road to IndyCar.<br />

He performed well in the first<br />

USF Pro 2000 pre-season test at<br />

Indianapolis Motor Speedway,<br />

on October 21 and 22.<br />

Douglas finished in the top 5<br />

in four out of the five sessions he<br />

set a lap in and beat Pabst Racing<br />

teammate Simon Sikes, who won<br />

the USF 2000 championship, in<br />

the same four sessions.<br />

“It was pretty good,” Douglas<br />

said.<br />

The strong test added to an<br />

almost perfect finish to the USF<br />

2000 championship. Douglas<br />

finished the final round of USF<br />

2000 at Portland International<br />

Raceway, Oregon, in September<br />

with maiden poles and back-toback<br />

wins.<br />

Douglas only finished the<br />

championship in sixth place,<br />

but it did not reflect his true<br />

pace. In the first part of the<br />

season, he suffered multiple<br />

mechanical retirements, which<br />

promoted a mid-season team<br />

switch from Exclusive Autosport<br />

to Pabst.<br />

While a deal is yet to be<br />

signed, Douglas is expected to<br />

have a seat in the Pro series for<br />

2024.<br />

The Pro cars are similar to<br />

what Douglas was racing this<br />

year, but will be faster with<br />

bigger tyres, front and rear<br />

wings, diffusers and engines.<br />

“A bit of a step up in all<br />

aspects,” he said.<br />

Douglas said he would like to<br />

be a championship contender<br />

next year, and is keeping his<br />

goals realistic.<br />

“We showed we had good pace.<br />

Obviously we’d love to fight for<br />

a championship, but I think<br />

our goal is probably to have a<br />

really solid first season, get some<br />

podiums, hopefully some wins,<br />

show we have the pace and then<br />

win the championship in the<br />

second year.”<br />

Douglas is currently back<br />

in New Zealand testing in the<br />

Formula Regional Oceania<br />

Championship car, which has<br />

five rounds across New Zealand<br />

in January and February, and<br />

attracts drivers from across the<br />

world.<br />

Douglas said he has yet to<br />

finalise his spot on the grid for<br />

the summer series as he works to<br />

secure the funding required.<br />

Age but a number for<br />

Springston bowler<br />

AGE HAS proved no barrier<br />

for Geoff Prattley.<br />

The 83-year-old (left)<br />

was a joint winner of the<br />

Springston Indoor Bowls<br />

Club’s Howson’s Trophy with<br />

Neville Lancaster (right).<br />

Lancaster was also the<br />

champion singles player,<br />

and winner of the men’s<br />

aggregate, skip for the triples<br />

and the husband and wife<br />

pairs.<br />

They received their awards<br />

at the end-of-year prize giving<br />

at the Springston Hotel.<br />

“Springston club acquitted<br />

itself well in the wider<br />

Ellesmere competitions,<br />

winning the Bullock Trophy,<br />

second year running, which<br />

was for club with most points<br />

in the champion of champion<br />

matches,” club secretary and<br />

treasurer Bill Pickering said.<br />

Springston members<br />

were also runners-up in<br />

the champion of champion<br />

mixed pairs, husband and<br />

wife, and triples, winning<br />

the championship fours, and<br />

open pairs and runners-up, in<br />

championship triples.<br />

“Coupled with the increase<br />

in membership over the year,<br />

prospects for next season<br />

look exceptionally good for<br />

another successful year,”<br />

Pickering said.

The social side of the New Zealand Masters Games is just as important as the sports<br />

themselves. In 2024 the Games Hub will return to the University Union, which has been a crowd<br />

favourite in former years and will feature live entertainment each evening. PHOTOS: SUPPLIED<br />

Touch Rugby is just one of the 60+ sports on offer at the Otago Community Trust New Zealand<br />

Masters Games in 2024. You don’t need to be an elite athlete to enter the Games – you just<br />

need to be the right minimum age for your sport and be keen to have a go.<br />

Join in the fun at the NZ Masters Games<br />

The Otago Community<br />

bigger than ever.<br />

The 35th annual Masters<br />

Masters Games Manager Vicki<br />

Kestila.<br />

You just have to be the right<br />

minimum age for your particular<br />

go. We have participants aged<br />

18 to 96 and beyond – some<br />

are competitive and out to win<br />

medals but others are there to<br />

catch up with friends and enjoy<br />

the social side of things.”<br />

There are more than 60 sports<br />

on offer during the Games,<br />

including new events such<br />

selected sports also have para<br />

Swimming and Indoor Triathlon.<br />

There is also a range of "fun"<br />

provides all the benefits of a<br />

competitor, with the exception<br />

of being able to compete in any<br />

Masters Games sports or win<br />

medals.<br />

"Supporters can cheer on<br />

friends or family during their<br />

sporting event, then head<br />

along to enjoy the evening<br />

entertainment at the Games<br />

Hub. You don't have to<br />

compete to be part of the<br />

action,” says Vicki.<br />

Back by popular demand,<br />

the University Union will play<br />

host to the Games Hub, where<br />

participants can get together<br />

for activities and entertainment,<br />

including a full programme of<br />

live music each evening.<br />

“As well as all the activities at<br />

the Games Hub, Dunedin is a<br />

compact city full of excellent<br />

eateries, bars and galleries,<br />

with amazing wildlife right<br />

on our doorstep,” says Vicki.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> Celebrates Diwali –<br />

The Festival of Lights<br />

Celebrating Diverse India in Diverse<br />

New Zealand.<br />

Diwali symbolises the spiritual “victory<br />

of light over darkness, good over evil, and<br />

knowledge over ignorance”.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> Diwali is a festival designed<br />

to celebrate our community’s cultural<br />

diversity through a myriad of cultural<br />

art forms including various arts, crafts,<br />

interactive cultural activities, music,<br />

performing arts (songs, instrumental<br />

and dance performances) with talented<br />

performers, fantastic stage production and<br />

plenty of delicious ethnic cuisines. There<br />

will be fireworks at approximately 9pm to<br />

close the evening.<br />

this celebration to the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District,<br />

our home, for our local communities to<br />

Three words vs the worst of the winds<br />

• By Isabelle Teresa<br />

Point – Park – Anchor. These are<br />

the three words that can protect your<br />

irrigator during the worst of the winds.<br />

Saturday 14 October saw wind<br />

gusts across <strong>Selwyn</strong> of up to 200km/h.<br />

Although extreme, looking back, that’s<br />

not unusual. Galeforce winds have long<br />

been a feature of Canterbury’s spring<br />

weather conditions – for example, spring<br />

2<strong>01</strong>3 saw winds of over 160km/h.<br />

And looking forward, well it’s certainly<br />

part of our immediate future, with the<br />

strong and blustery winds of an El Niño<br />

summer waiting in the wings.<br />

Fortunately, weather forecasting is<br />

(on the whole!) accurate enough these<br />

days to predict the timing and severity<br />

of such weather with a few days’ notice.<br />

Farmers and growers should have<br />

sufficient warning to take the appropriate<br />

safety actions for their precious irrigator<br />

equipment.<br />

Point: Point the irrigator longitudinally<br />

downwind, to reduce the surface area<br />

exposed to the wind. If the shape of your<br />

field allows, keep the corner arms in line<br />

with the rest of the machine. The worst<br />

position for corner arms to be left in is at<br />

90 degrees of the wind direction.<br />

Park: A liner/lateral irrigator should be<br />

installed to point down the dominant wind<br />

direction. For pivot irrigators, establish<br />

options of one or two parking spaces that<br />

face downwind.<br />

Anchor: Finding somewhere to tie the<br />

irrigator to an anchor can be a challenge<br />

because they don’t have designated places<br />

for straps to be attached. Farmers need<br />

to talk to their suppliers to understand<br />

the strength of each truss rod bracket in<br />

various models and brands, and therefore<br />

how many ties are needed to keep the span<br />

stable. Tying from the base beam to the<br />

ground is the fastest method but should<br />

be done in combination with tying to the<br />

span. Tying at the wheels should reduce<br />

bouncing but the spans can still roll over<br />

in big gusts.<br />

The crucial thing is to have done<br />

these three steps before the wind hits.<br />

Otherwise, it may be too unsafe for people<br />

to attempt during the high winds.<br />

For more detail, access the excellent<br />

resources at www.irrigationnz.co.nz<br />

These include specific guidance for our<br />

local conditions, co-published by FMG<br />

with Lincoln University, the “Irrigator<br />

Advice Guide”.<br />

Point – Park – Anchor may not be<br />

the usual most magic three little<br />

words in the world, but in this<br />

scenario, they’re the three most<br />

The Show must go on… must it?<br />

• By Isabelle Teresa<br />

In the week leading up to the Ellesmere<br />

A&P Show, with wind warnings looming,<br />

this was the question on everyone’s lips –<br />

including the organisers.<br />

The Show did go on, with thousands<br />

of people, including myself, attending<br />

and having an excellent time. The wind<br />

obviously made things difficult, partly<br />

because it was so loud, as well as the<br />

strong, icecream-toppling gusts. However<br />

the day was sunny and warm and whole<br />

families were out for a good time.<br />

Numbers were down just 20% on the<br />

previous year.<br />

Many events and activities continued<br />

as normal, such as showing classes and<br />

wood chopping. The many attractions<br />

inside buildings, such as shearing and the<br />

various historical, flower and produce<br />

displays were unaffected, as was the very<br />

well received opening of <strong>Selwyn</strong> Heritage<br />

Park. Sideshow attractions and food<br />

trucks continued their successful trade<br />

well into the afternoon.<br />

The Association had advised stall<br />

holders in advance of the possible high<br />

winds, but very few chose to not attend.<br />

During the day their battles with gazebos<br />

grew harder and harder. Some moved<br />

to a more sheltered location, and some<br />

were able to operate without their roof,<br />

depending on the nature and size of their<br />

wares.<br />

One of the Facebook refrains was,<br />

why didn’t they just postpone till<br />

Sunday? It’s noteworthy that the A&P<br />

Association considered cancelling or<br />

going participator-only, not postponing.<br />

The Show is a logistical juggernaut. The<br />

coordination of participants arriving<br />

from across the district, bringing so many<br />

different types of animals, cannot be<br />

postponed at the last minute.<br />

The Show did go on, and it’s a credit to<br />

the passion, resilience and commitment<br />

of all people involved, from the organisers<br />

to the exhibitors and participants to the<br />

public who attended.<br />

And one thing’s for sure – it’s a Show<br />

we’ll never forget!<br />

Anchored: Proper job<br />

Gazebo struggles<br />

While it was a frustration for stallholders<br />

that the entrance gates were closed after<br />

the emergency alert, for those who were<br />

able to hang in there, the public supported<br />

them by continuing to shop. Sadly some<br />

had to pack up. The organisers estimate<br />

that around 20% of stall holders headed<br />

home early.<br />

As inevitable, social media had many<br />

opinions about this whole situation. Once<br />

the emergency alert was issued at 11.40am,<br />

the mood turned from questioning to<br />

criticism. Subsequent announcements<br />

throughout the afternoon emphasised<br />

multiple dangers to drivers, especially<br />

those with high-sided vehicles such as<br />

horseboxes.<br />

llesmere Show – wind safety<br />

• By Isabelle Teresa<br />

The absolute last thing that any event<br />

organiser wants, in the middle of their<br />

event, is the issuing of an emergency alert.<br />

When that text alert pinged out across<br />

the Show on Sat 14 October at 11.40, you<br />

could feel the wave of reaction across the<br />

crowd and exhibitors like. But what the<br />

crowd wasn’t in a position to know, is that<br />

the A&P Association had been monitoring<br />

the upcoming weather situation all week<br />

and prepared multiple safety options. They<br />

already had precautions in place on the day<br />

before the alert, and had a further safety<br />

plan ready to swing into action should<br />

events escalate.<br />

Jeff Wheeler, Show President, confirms<br />

that the Executive of the Show Committee<br />

did consider the options of either cancelling<br />

the Show or making it participants-only, as<br />

occurred in 2021 due to COVID. Had the<br />

“Red” level of warning been issued on the<br />

Friday, those options were in place.<br />

Cancelling the Show would have meant<br />

the loss of a key event in the Canterbury<br />

Show schedule, with no opportunity to<br />

reschedule in the tight build up to the NZ<br />

Agricultural Show in <strong>November</strong>.<br />

The mission became, to make the Show<br />

as safe as possible. In the week beforehand,<br />

the Association contacted all stall holders<br />

to advise appropriate precautions, and<br />

downscaled the sideshow alley rides in<br />

variety and suitability. The rides were<br />

deliberately positioned in a sheltered area,<br />

with wind meter monitoring throughout<br />

the day.<br />

First thing Saturday the wind speed<br />

Precautions in place on that morning,<br />

before the alert, included closing the larger<br />

marquees. Unfortunately this meant the<br />

cancellation of some key entertainments,<br />

such as bands on the main stage and<br />

attractions inside the marquees, including<br />

the second Wearable Arts show, and the<br />

public lunch marquee. The Grain and seed<br />

section, animal farmyard and some events<br />

in the horse section were also cancelled.<br />

Soon after the emergency alert, the<br />

entrance gates were closed. While a hard<br />

decision, it was a necessary stepping stone.<br />

The rationale was, that if a further decision<br />

had to be made to completely shut down<br />

the Show, there would be fewer people on<br />

Show/<br />

Reduction Water Filter Solution<br />

If you want to reduce chlorine in your water we have a solution, be it<br />

under bench single tap or whole house.<br />

Whole house chlorine reduction makes more sense than just treating<br />

one tap in the kitchen. You only need to use one 20” large housing and<br />

a 20” carbon filter cartridge.<br />

What ever the issues is with your water we will have a solution that fits<br />

your requirement, so call into our shop at Pumps & Filters, 551 Halswell<br />

to pour in for<br />

Katie Cox amid<br />

battle with cancer<br />

• By Jonny Turner<br />

THE KATIE Cox fund is now at<br />

$130,000 after a massive response from<br />

within and outside the harness racing<br />

community.<br />

The talented and respected trainerdriver,<br />

who is 33, was recently diagnosed<br />

with a rare form of lung cancer.<br />

Kirstin Green recently put the call<br />

out for her fellow drivers to offer their<br />

financial support to a fundraising<br />

campaign for Canterbury trainer driver<br />

Cox, who has recently been diagnosed<br />

with a rare form of lung cancer.<br />

A charitable trust was set up to<br />

contribute to paying Cox’s medical<br />

expenses, which are set to go into the<br />

hundreds of thousands of dollars. Cox<br />

expressed her gratitude for the continued<br />

donations and support,<br />

“I am humbled by your generosity<br />

and the many kind words,” she wrote on<br />

Facebook.<br />

“A big thanks must also go to all those<br />

who have helped initiate this.<br />

“I have started on my first treatments<br />

this week and all is going well so far,<br />

hopefully the results will be excellent<br />

from this medication.”<br />

Several leading drivers have committed<br />

to answering Green’s challenge to<br />

donate a driving fee each month during<br />

<strong>November</strong>.<br />

Green said she was thrilled with the<br />

response to her challenge from her<br />

colleagues.<br />

“It has been amazing; pretty much<br />

every driver that I’ve spoken to is keen to<br />

get on board.”<br />

“The response has been absolutely<br />

amazing, I am just thrilled that people<br />

are going to jump on board with it.”<br />

Among those to commit to the<br />

scheme are Blair Orange, Mark Hurrell,<br />

Sam Thornley, Sarah O’Reilly, Kerryn<br />

Tomlinson, and Nathan, Matthew, and<br />

Brad Williamson.<br />

Green was in winning action at<br />

Winton last week when producing He’s<br />

A Meister for a tough victory in the<br />

meeting’s feature pace.<br />

The pacer was left without cover in the<br />

parked position for much of his 2400m<br />

assignment. But He’s A Meister brushed<br />

off that extra work when rallying<br />

strongly to win race 8.<br />

Brad Williamson was also in the<br />

winner’s circle, taking out yesterday’s<br />

feature trot with a positive drive behind<br />

Missile.<br />

Williamson kept pushing forward early<br />

in the race with the Phil Williamsontrained<br />

trotter, and after finding the<br />

front, Missile proved too tough for his<br />

rivals to catch.<br />

Mark Hurrell was another of the<br />

drivers backing the campaign to support<br />

Cox in winning form.<br />

The reinsman produced a winning<br />

double in the sulky with the Craig<br />

Ferguson trained duo of Rustenburg and<br />

Louie’s Girl.<br />

Rustenburg backed up his sensational<br />

maiden win at Wyndham recently, while<br />

Louie’s Girl ran to a big win in her debut<br />

for the Ferguson stable.<br />

“Rustenburg was pretty good today;<br />

he did everything right and won pretty<br />

easily, on what was a bit of a testing<br />

track,” Hurrell said.<br />

“Louie’s Girl had been going well at the<br />

workouts, but she really stepped up at the<br />

races.”<br />

“On that run, you would think she<br />

would have a good future.”<br />

Lincoln Envirotown’s<br />

Annual Clothes Swap<br />

This popular event<br />

will take place on the<br />

evening of Thursday<br />

16th <strong>November</strong> at the<br />

Lincoln Event Centre.<br />

It has proved to<br />

be a successful and<br />

enjoyable event in<br />

previous years and<br />

once again we expect<br />

many preloved<br />

clothing items to be<br />

exchanged.<br />

People are encouraged<br />

to bring those<br />

clothes that we all<br />

have, unused in<br />

our cupboards, and<br />

drop them off at<br />

designated drop off<br />

points in Lincoln and<br />

Rolleston. The times and<br />

locations of these can<br />

be found on the poster<br />

accompanying this article<br />

or visit Humanitix<br />

(Lincoln Clothes Swap)<br />

or Lincoln Envirotown’s<br />

Facebook or website.<br />

Those who do these<br />

early drop offs will be<br />

given an “Early Bird”<br />

ticket which entitles<br />

them and one other,<br />

to early entry on the<br />

evening.<br />

Textiles are<br />

a major<br />

contributing<br />

element to<br />

landfill and<br />

the longer that<br />

we are able to<br />

keep them in<br />

circulation the<br />

better. It is also a<br />

means of helping<br />

reduce the<br />

negative impacts<br />

of the fashion<br />

industry on our<br />

environment.<br />

There is no<br />

payment for<br />

entry or for<br />

clothes. The<br />

event provides<br />

a chance<br />

to enjoy<br />

changing one’s<br />

wardrobe, as well as<br />

keeping resources<br />

circulating.<br />

Lincoln<br />

Envirotown<br />

looks forward<br />

to welcoming<br />

everyone and<br />

hopes that the<br />

normal busy<br />

evening will be<br />

enjoyed by all.

Time of year for prolific growth<br />

WITH TEMPERATURES rising,<br />

there is that glorious feeling that<br />

summer is not too far away.<br />

Plant growth in the home<br />

garden is rapid, strawberries are<br />

ripening, it is a wonderful time to<br />

be in the garden.<br />

House plant care<br />

Increase the watering of all<br />

houseplants as the temperature<br />

inside the house rises. Re-pot<br />

houseplants where there are<br />

indications they are ‘root bound,’<br />

such as roots appearing at the top<br />

of container or out of drainage<br />

holes, or a lack of growth.<br />

In the flower bed<br />

All summer flowering annuals<br />

can now be safely planted.<br />

Preparation for flower beds is<br />

the same as for vegetable gardens.<br />

Summer flowering annuals<br />

include, alyssum, ageratum, aster,<br />

cornflower, cosmos, marigold,<br />

nemesia, phlox, petunias, portulacas,<br />

strawflower and zinnias. All<br />

of these plants can be successfully<br />

cultivated in containers, these<br />

should be used to brighten up<br />

entrances and decks.<br />

Vegetable garden<br />

A very busy time in the home<br />

vegetable patch. Vegetables to<br />

be harvested include asparagus,<br />

broad beans, carrots, cauliflower,<br />

lettuce, onions, radishes, silver<br />

SUMMER SALAD: If you are short on space, grow in<br />

containers but make sure they are clean.<br />

beet and spinach. Continue<br />

planting beans, beetroot, celery,<br />

corn, lettuce, potatoes, pumpkin,<br />

tomatoes and zucchini. Always<br />

prepare areas to be planted<br />

thoroughly adding fresh compost<br />

to the existing soil. When<br />

planting tomatoes or beans,<br />

add your stake or support at the<br />

same time you plant to reduce<br />

disturbing the roots later. Some<br />

watering may be required towards<br />

the end of the month if there is<br />

insufficient rainfall.<br />

Strawberries<br />

Probably the most prolific<br />

month for harvesting strawberries.<br />

Where birds are problematic,<br />

cover plants with bird netting.<br />

PHOTO: GETTY/GERARD PUIGMAL<br />

Spread fine crushed bark or pea<br />

straw under and around the<br />

plants to provide a clean bed for<br />

the strawberries, remove any old<br />

leaves as they can attract grey<br />

mould.<br />

Raspberries<br />

Raspberries will be growing<br />

rapidly in <strong>November</strong>; new canes<br />

will be appearing regularly,<br />

attach these to a fence or wire.<br />

Towards the end of the month,<br />

the first of the season’s raspberries<br />

will begin to ripen.<br />

Fruit trees<br />

Fertilise all fruit trees. Mulch<br />

around the base of trees to help<br />

prevent weed growth and help<br />

with water retention as the soil<br />

dries in the heat.<br />

Lawns<br />

Grass grows rapidly in <strong>November</strong>,<br />

an excellent time to<br />

apply fertiliser. This will encourage<br />

thicker and healthier grass<br />

growth. It is the last safe month<br />

for renovating existing lawns or<br />

sowing a new lawn. Always use<br />

clean topsoil when preparing sites<br />

for new lawns and purchase fresh<br />

grass seed for sowing.<br />

Herbs<br />

This is the perfect month for<br />

planting the new season’s herb<br />

garden. Where possible position<br />

the herb garden near the house<br />

in a sunny and well drained site.<br />

Choose young and healthy plants<br />

as the garden centre, as herbs<br />

grow very quickly. Plant additional<br />

specimens of frequently used<br />

herbs such as parsley, and chives.<br />

Container gardens<br />

There is a considerable range<br />

of plants that can be grown in<br />

containers such as flowering annuals,<br />

some perennials, herbs and<br />

salad vegetables. Before planting,<br />

clean the containers thoroughly<br />

and add fresh potting mix. Ensure<br />

there are enough drainage holes<br />

and that containers are raised off<br />

hard surfaces.<br />

GARDENING 37<br />

Minimise<br />

risk of poor<br />

regrowth<br />

YOU MAY have heard of the<br />

one-third rule when it comes to<br />

pruning trees, which suggests<br />

that you should never prune<br />

more than one third of the crown<br />

of the tree in any given year.<br />

Losing too much mass all at<br />

once is likely to put the tree under<br />

severe stress, which, short of<br />

killing the tree, can lead to poor<br />

or stunted growth. Large wounds<br />

can also leave the plant open to<br />

pest and disease attack.<br />

A typical response to vigorous<br />

pruning is for the tree to produce<br />

strong singular growths, sometimes<br />

referred to as water shoots.<br />

If left, these can permanently<br />

alter the look of the plant from its<br />

natural or desired growth habit.<br />

Depending on your goal, you<br />

may wish to tread lightly and<br />

minimise the risk of unconventional<br />

regrowth, but if your plant<br />

needs an extreme makeover, you<br />

can use the theory of epicormic<br />

growth to your advantage, bearing<br />

in mind that not all plants<br />

are capable of this response so<br />

proceed with caution.<br />

One classic example of this is<br />

coppicing - cutting the tree down<br />

to bare stumps. This can be used<br />

to regenerate the plant and results<br />

in a healthy multi-stemmed<br />

specimen.<br />

Hyundai Sante Fe hybrid smooth and sporty<br />

Motoring with Bob Nettleton<br />

HYUNDAI’S Sante Fe has<br />

joined the electrification party<br />

and is celebrating its arrival by<br />

offering standard and plug-in<br />

hybrid models, with the leap to<br />

full electrification expected in<br />

2024 with the arrival of an allnew<br />

replacement for the current<br />

model.<br />

The Santa Fe is Hyundai’s<br />

longest-running SUV now with<br />

23 years on the clock. In this<br />

time, it’s built a strong following<br />

here, hitting the sweet spot for<br />

many with its 7-seater capability,<br />

spaciousness, and a raft of safety<br />

kit that has helped power it to the<br />

maximum 5-star ANCAP crash<br />

rating.<br />

Switching to hybrid technology<br />

brings the Santa Fe into line<br />

with most Hyundai SUVs sold<br />

here that have some form of<br />

electrified propulsion. It also<br />

appeals to Santa Fe buyers<br />

looking to have a lesser impact<br />

on the environment. Introduced<br />

to our market in early 2022,<br />

it was the first hybrid SUV in<br />

Hyundai New Zealand’s line-up.<br />

Since then, hybrid versions of the<br />

smaller Kona and Tucson have<br />

followed it.<br />

The Santa Fe is available with<br />

Hyundai’s stalwart 1.6-litre<br />

turbocharged four-cylinder<br />

petrol engine combined with<br />

either a 169kW standard hybrid<br />

version or a 195kW plug-in<br />

hybrid option. The Santa Fe<br />

hybrid uses a 44.2kW electric<br />

motor and 1.49kWh lithium-ion<br />

polymer battery, with claimed<br />

fuel consumption figures of<br />

6.3L/100km. The plug-in Santa<br />

Fe can travel up to 56km on<br />

battery power, perfect for daily<br />

commutes. This figure is eclipsed<br />

by the 89km you get with<br />

the slightly smaller but more<br />

affordable Mitsubishi Outlander<br />

PHEV.<br />

Offering two levels of trim, a<br />

base model and the higher spec<br />

Elite model supplied for this<br />

road test, both come with many<br />

of the same features as regular<br />

versions of the Santa Fe but add<br />

wireless smartphone charging<br />

and heated seats to the complete<br />

range. Smart Sense safety<br />

technology is also standard. The<br />

only visual difference from petrol<br />

and diesel Santa Fe models,<br />

apart from the much higher<br />

price, are unique alloy wheel<br />

designs that are exclusive to the<br />

hybrid range. Adding a bit more<br />

pizzazz to styling of the Elite is<br />

LED lighting including Daytime<br />

Running Lights, LED projector<br />

headlights (both high & low<br />

beam), and LED taillights.<br />

Prices for the three-model<br />

hybrid range start at $88,990 for<br />

the entry version and a steepish<br />

$99,990 ask on the Elite being<br />

evaluated here. For another $10k<br />

you can have this model as a<br />

plug-in hybrid. This is a hefty<br />

premium to pay for plug-in<br />

capability, when there is not<br />

an enormous difference in real<br />

world performance separating it<br />

and the standard hybrid.<br />

An energetic 169kW hybrid<br />

power train in the test vehicle<br />

proved surprisingly zesty<br />

compared to the less than<br />

animated performance of some<br />

hybrids, with the test vehicle<br />

especially energetic between<br />

1,500-4,500rpm. This is the rev<br />

sweet spot for ensuring a driving<br />

experience like a good coffee.<br />

Smooth, strong, and leaves you<br />

feeling invigorated. Acceleration<br />

is strong for a standard hybrid<br />

and is almost verging on sporty.<br />

A rich vein of torque and the<br />

extra kick of a battery pack<br />

ensures punchy take offs from<br />

standing starts, and purposeful<br />

mid-range pulling power.<br />

These qualities make light<br />

work of undulating roads and<br />

long energy-sapping hill climbs.<br />

Managing this impressive hybrid<br />

petrol electric is an equally<br />

accomplished uprated 6-speed<br />

automatic.<br />

Passenger and load space<br />

is outstanding with every<br />

centimetre of people and<br />

cargo capacity utilised. It gives<br />

its rivals a lesson in smart<br />

interior packaging and space<br />

maximisation. Adding a touch of<br />

class to the Elite is a full leather<br />

interior and power front seat<br />

adjustment to lock in the perfect<br />

seating position.<br />

I liked the intuitive 8.0”<br />

touchscreen multimedia system,<br />

incorporating Apple CarPlay &<br />

Android Auto for fully integrated<br />

smartphone functionality. Also<br />

included is wireless smartphone<br />

charging. There is a high<br />

quality 6-speaker audio system<br />

incorporating speakers front and<br />

rear and, for good measure, a<br />

pair of tweeters. A clever Smart<br />

Proximity Key system allows easy<br />

access to the vehicle, push button<br />

engine start and stop capability.<br />

A head-up display projects<br />

relevant driving and safety<br />

information directly onto the<br />

windshield. This makes for a<br />

much more relaxing driving<br />

experience, enabling the driver<br />

to keep their eyes on the road,<br />

because now this information is<br />

right under their noses!<br />

The Santa Fe puts its best<br />

safety foot forward with driving<br />

assistance technologies including<br />

Blind-Spot Collision Warning,<br />

Forward Collision-Avoidance<br />

Assist with pedestrian detection,<br />

and Lane Keeping Assist. There<br />

is no shortage of smart safety<br />

system at work in this vehicle.<br />

One of the best examples is Rear<br />

Occupant Alert and Safety Exit<br />

Assist. Designed to keep rear<br />

seat passengers safe, it detects<br />

passengers and alerts the driver<br />

when they leave the vehicle.<br />

There has been a re-work of<br />

the suspension to ensure this<br />

Santa Fe has more control and<br />

less body lean when it goes along<br />

Overall points out of<br />

twisty roads, or when called on<br />

to make unexpected changes in<br />

direction. A 15mm reduction in<br />

ground clearance over the old<br />

model brings a more composed<br />

feel to the suspension. Through<br />

the bends, it sits noticeably flatter<br />

and is less distracted by uneven<br />

road surfaces, with minimal<br />

lateral vehicle movement from<br />

the rear suspension, even when<br />

it’s ambushed by corrugations or<br />

decent sized potholes in the road.<br />

A DARFIELD farmer has<br />

spoken of watching a man leap into<br />

the flooded Hawkins River to try and<br />

save himself after a helicopter winch<br />

rescue operation failed.<br />

Rod May had taken his tractor to<br />

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

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

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

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

The man had driven into the<br />

flooded river, escaped from his car<br />

and ca led emergency services from<br />

his ce lphone which he managed to<br />

keep with him.<br />

Ultimately, a second helicopter<br />

winch operation plucked the man<br />

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

It was a happy ending to the<br />

ordeal which had lasted more than<br />

three hours. The rescue was among<br />

several in Canterbury on Sunday in<br />

flooded rivers.<br />

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

had dinner when a neighbour alerted<br />

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

the floodwaters were too high for the<br />

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

i luminating the site where the man<br />

was. • Turn to page 5<br />

Money<br />

taken<br />

after big<br />

pokie win<br />

• By Ba ry Clarke<br />

A BAR patron who won $1200<br />

on the pokies may have been<br />

targeted by thieves moments after<br />

she co lected the money.<br />

A group of men who were in<br />

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

focus of police inquiries. It is<br />

believed they watched her being<br />

paid, and then quickly swooped.<br />

The incident happened at The<br />

Famous Grouse Hotel in Lincoln<br />

two weeks ago.<br />

After she was paid out a the<br />

bar, the men who had been<br />

si ting nearby went over and<br />

congratulated her. While she was<br />

distracted the money disappeared<br />

from her handbag. She only<br />

realised it was gone after she left<br />

the hotel.<br />

Police have taken CCTV<br />

security camera footage from the<br />

hotel which shows the men going<br />

over to the woman and mobbing<br />

her in a congratulatory way. The<br />

footage also captures a hand from<br />

one of the men going towards the<br />

bag.<br />

Police say they may have<br />

identified one of the group but<br />

aren’t saying anymore about<br />

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

understands the men are from<br />

the Amberley area.<br />

THESE DAYS more and more<br />

Kiwis are growing their own<br />

are taking a natural and organic<br />

approach to gardening. This<br />

means less chemicals and more<br />

be beneficial to grow nex to each<br />

other.<br />

This approach of growing<br />

certain plants for the benefit of<br />

other plants is ca led companion<br />

planting and the idea has been<br />

around for centuries.<br />

And marigolds are probably the<br />

most famous companion plant<br />

around.<br />

This brightly coloured flower<br />

just happens to produce a strong<br />

and their roots also contain a<br />

living in the soil).<br />

Marigolds are said to deter<br />

aphids from tomatoes and roses,<br />

and nematodes from potatoes and<br />

announced phase-outs of greyhound racing.<br />

Only last year the Government took an<br />

unprecedented step to pu the performance of<br />

Greyhound Racing New Zealand ‘on notice’, indicating<br />

tha the industry would be measured based on key<br />

performance indicators and a decision would be made<br />

in the coming months. The SPCA is now asking where<br />

are these indicators and what are they measuring?<br />

While SPCA has tried for years to work with the<br />

greyhound industry to improve greyhound welfare,<br />

the organisation says the industry has been unable to<br />

adequately address its animal welfare problems.<br />

The animal welfare group believes it is clear the<br />

greyhound industry cannot meet its animal welfare<br />

obligations and is no longer acceptable in New Zealand<br />

society. A recent survey carried out by an independent<br />

research company on behalf of SPCA reports that<br />

74% of New Zealanders would vote to ban greyhound<br />

racing in a referendum.<br />

SPRING IS a time when it’s<br />

desirable to be working is the<br />

garden.<br />

However, there are hidden<br />

dangers and one of those is<br />

developing legionnaires’ disease.<br />

Here are some guidelines to<br />

avoid that happening<br />

•Minimise the amount of dust<br />

present when working in the<br />

garden.<br />

• Water gardens and indoor<br />

plants using a gentle spray.<br />

• Read the warning label on<br />

bagged composts or po ting mix.<br />

• Wear gloves.<br />

• Wear a mask so that any dust<br />

is filtered out before you can<br />

breathe it in.<br />

• Dampen po ting mixes before<br />

use.<br />

• Open bags of soil products<br />

slowly, away from the face.<br />

• Make sure the working area<br />

(for example, the glasshouse or<br />

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

• See a doctor if you develop a<br />

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

worsening.<br />

• Wash hands thoroughly<br />

after gardening or handling soil<br />

products.<br />

These are simple, easy and<br />

natural steps that a l gardeners<br />

can take to reduce risk while<br />

continuing to enjoy their garden.<br />

Property Market Update<br />

with Property Brokers in Rolleston<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> Spring Lifestyle Overview<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> has a lot to offer, with<br />

a blend of rural charm and<br />

modern amenities for people<br />

wanting the best of both worlds.<br />

For those looking to make a<br />

change, now might be the time<br />

to buy a lifestyle property.<br />

Spring is when more lifestyle<br />

properties are coming onto<br />

the market. Interest is coming<br />

from buyers from the North<br />

Island and people considering<br />

moving to this lifestyle. Angela<br />

Hunt from Property Brokers in<br />

Rolleston confirms that wellpresented<br />

and tidy properties<br />

valued under $1.2 million<br />

are fetching premium prices.<br />

Sheds on the land are a popular<br />

feature, and generally, people<br />

are looking for newer properties<br />

that are set up and ready to go.<br />

Buyers are also wanting the<br />

house modernised and ready<br />

to live in. Angela states, “People<br />

want to move in and enjoy.”<br />

Presentation of your property<br />

for sale is key. Angela advises,<br />

‘People are going through<br />

showhomes, and that sets the<br />

benchmark.” Get your home<br />

“showhome” ready, including<br />

ensuring the land is tidy. Get rid<br />

of the rubbish lying around or<br />

tidy it up so that your home is<br />

presented at its best to meet the<br />

buyer’s expectations.<br />

Properties in Lincoln,<br />

Broadfields, West Melton and<br />

Springston are always popular<br />

due to their location and being<br />

close to amenities. However,<br />

further out, properties may be<br />

older homes at a lower price.<br />

Angela confirms, “Different<br />

lifestyle properties hold different<br />

values.” Properties under $1.2<br />

million are finding willing<br />

buyers, whereas properties<br />

valued at $1.4 million may be<br />

more challenging. The current<br />

higher interest rates and<br />

larger repayments are also a<br />

consideration for buyers.<br />

If you want to be in your<br />

lifestyle property by Christmas,<br />

enjoying a quiet retreat or the<br />

busyness of farming, now is the<br />

time to buy. <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s myriad<br />

lifestyle property options<br />

provide the perfect place to turn<br />

your aspirations into reality.<br />
