Teenagers
break into
electronics
repair store
• By Daniel Alvey
BUSINESSES remain a target for
youth offenders, with another two
hit in the past 10 days.
In separate incidents in Lincoln,
youths smashed their way into
an electronics repair store and
attempted the same on a convenience
store but were stopped by fog
cannons.
Techexpert Lincoln owner
Toyaz Yadav said his Vernon
Dr store was broken into about
4.15am on Labour Day.
The six offenders smashed in
through the front door and then
trashed the store searching for
items to steal.
Yadav said they took a lot of
products including gift cards
and phone cases that were on the
shelves and then went back behind
the counter, stealing customer
phones and laptops that were
in for repairs. He estimated the
loss to be about $25,000 which
included damage to the shop.
“They took everything, lots of
customer devices, my personal
computer.”

firefighters won’t be attending
most medical callouts from
today.
The brigade, which has held
a first response role for decades
will now, like all other Selwyn
brigades, be a co-responder
to medical calls and will only
respond to cardiac arrest callouts
and other serious medical incidents
in the area, to reduce strain
on volunteers.
Fire and Emergency New
Zealand Canterbury district
manager Dave Stackhouse said
the decision was made earlier
this year.
“In the days where Rolleston
was a small town, and the nearest
ambulance was in Christchurch,
our volunteers made a massive
difference, supporting both Hato
Hone St John’s response and the
local community.
“However, as Rolleston has
grown, so has the number of
medical response callouts. This
has placed greater strain on our
valuable volunteer staff who
already contribute their time
to Fire and Emergency’s main
functions and community risk
reduction activities,” Stackhouse
said.
Since January 1 the brigade

has responded to 153 medical
callouts.
Stackhouse said they will still
support Hato Hone St John.
“This will allow the Rolleston
Volunteer Fire Brigade to offer
support to both Hato Hone St
John and the community of
Rolleston while placing less
strain on our volunteers. “
Despite the pullback, Hato
Hone St John Mid Canterbury
area operations manager Ian
Rex said it would not affect its
service.
“We would like to reassure the
public that this decision will not
impact on our response to patients
in need as our ambulances
work as part of a network, and
the Rolleston team is supported
by ambulances from across the
district, including Christchurch,
Leeston and Darfield, as well as
helicopters from Christchurch,”
Rex said.
Hato Hone St John has one
ambulance in Rolleston that operates
24/7 and one ambulance
that operates 12 hours a day
(10am to 10pm). There are 17
paid and 30 volunteer ambulance
officers based at Rolleston station.
Rex thanked the Rolleston
brigade for their service.
• From page 1
Yadav said the break-in was
frustrating, and he was now left
with little stock and had to ring
customers about their devices
being stolen.
Yadav has owned the store for
about three years, and this is the
first break-in he has had.
“I did not expect to be broken
into,” said Yadav, adding that he
thought he wouldn’t be a target
because he doesn’t sell phones
and other items of value to young
people, like vapes.
A police spokesperson said
they were notified of the break-in
at 7.40am, and that they were
reviewing CCTV along with
making other inquiries, which
are ongoing.
Yadav had not heard from the
police since Labour Day.
He said he would be putting in
more security measures now.
“The landlord and I are working
together to put in things like
security bars.”

happened on Friday at 4.15am
when four youths tried to break
into the Lincoln Convenience
Store on Gerald St.

cannons went off.
They left in a Toyota Corolla
which had been stolen from
Prebbleton.
“Two were smashing the door
and the other two were filming
on their phones,” he said.
Sun was unsure of their age but
said they looked young.
Sun suffered a similar
attempted break-in in July and
said the offenders have yet to
be caught. He’s not holding out
much hope for a result this time.
“I don’t think (the police)
will get them, and if they do,
they probably can’t be punished
because of their age.”

Residents prioritise sustainability
in Long-Term Plan feedback
A SUSTAINABLE community is
the primary vision for residents
over the next decade.
The council asked
residents for their priorities
for the next 10 years, to
support the development
of the district’s Long-Term
Plan 2024-34, with almost
800 people giving their
feedback.
Residents overwhelmingly
highlighted the importance
of a ‘sustainable
Selwyn’, where the district
is self-sufficient with
services and facilities that
cater to people at all stages
of life and the environment
is cared for.
A draft Long-Term Plan
2024–2034 will be released
for public feedback in April
next year, setting out the
council’s proposed activities,
services and budget over the next
decade, based on that feedback,
alongside practical considerations.
“The community has been
clear in its ambitions, and
they’ve shared an exciting vision
for the future,” Mayor Sam
Sam
Broughton
Sharon
Mason
Broughton said.
“Now we need to work
together with our community
on a plan for achieving
those, including what
the realistic costs are and
what trade-offs may be
required.”
There was a strong
desire to make Selwyn a
‘one-stop-shop,’ where
people can work and live,
without needing to go
anywhere else.
To make this possible,
people indicated a desire
for the district to become
more economically innovative,
and a better spread
of infrastructure and services
across the district,
council chief executive
Sharon Mason said.
“There’s a strong feeling
that people love what we have,
with 86 per cent of people saying
they have a positive experience
of living here. People love our
rural character and affordability.
There’s also a strong desire for
clear planning, to protect that,
particularly around infrastructure
and around access to

respondents.

services across Selwyn.”
Social and environmental wellbeing
was also a strong focus for
respondents, with protection of
water sources (rated as a very
high or high priority by 97 per
cent of respondents) and access
to green spaces (rated high or
very high by 94 per cent), seen as
the highest priorities.
People identified a desire for
smart growth including proactive
infrastructure planning and
building up, not out in urban
centres, as well as more sustainable
agriculture.
Residents also indicated an
openness to necessary funding
decisions, including increasing
rates if it was to achieve their
priorities.
“We’ve got the direction for
where people want to go, now
the task is to nail down a plan to
achieve what we can.
“To achieve the outcomes
sought by the community
will require extra funding. It’s
good to see people are realistic
about that. We are conscious of
affordability and we’re looking
at different ways to cover those
costs, but as we have seen with
other councils that could include
significant rates increases.
We’ll put those options out to
community to consider.”
Residents gave feedback
through a range of activities
including focus groups and
individual surveys, while 98
people took part in the digital
scavenger hunt – a first of its
kind trial for any council in New
Zealand.
Of the respondents, 33 per cent
lived rurally and seven per cent
were farmers, while 25 per cent
identified with ethnicities other
than New Zealand European,
including nine per cent Māori.
The draft Long-Term Plan will
be released in April for residents
to provide further feedback and
make submissions, with the opportunity
to provide submissions
and attend hearings.
A final Long-Term Plan 2024-
2034 must be adopted by the
council before the next financial
year, beginning July 1.

Climate report forecasts extremes
• By Daniel Alvey
THE COUNCIL has been urged
not to ignore a new climate
change report.
The report, carried out by
Aqualink for the council, looked
at the impacts of climate change
on council infrastructure,
forecasting effects out to the end
of the century.
Research and development
business manager Dr Andrew
Dark said if infrastructure is
designed to cope with extreme
weather events in today’s climate,
it is more likely to survive in the
future.
The report recommended that
the council not put it on the shelf
for three years, and continue to
work on reducing the impacts of
climate change.
“The general
message of
climate change
is that we
need to brace
ourselves
to greater
Andrew
Dark
volatility
in weather
patterns with
a greater incident of extreme
events like extreme rainfall,
wind and droughts,” the report
said.
Mayor Sam Broughton said
they would not be ignoring the
report.
“Climate change is very much
at the top of council’s agenda.
“Our council was one of the
earliest signatories to the New
Zealand Local Government
Leaders’ Climate Change
Declaration 2017.
“Commissioning the report
was part of that work and will
not sit on the shelf. It ensures our
data is up to date as we develop
our Long-Term Plan,” he said.

were based off regional and
national data.
Dark said in the last 100
years the average recorded
temperature has risen by 1 deg
C, but is forecast to rise by up
to 3.5 deg C by the end of the
century.
Combined sea level rises of
up to 90cm by the end of the
century and higher expected
lake levels at Te Waihora Lake
Ellesmere will also mean the
effectiveness of the land drainage
network will be reduced.
Dark urged the council to look
at the groundwater network with

higher water levels expected
to reduce the current system’s
effectiveness.
As part of its priorities for
the incoming government, the
council asked for more flood
prevention funding and a longterm
investment to restore Lake
Ellesmere.
Dark said there is a wideranging
amount of potential
impacts on assets due to climate
change.
The number of hot days,
classified as 25 deg C and above,
is projected to increase by 10-20
days by 2040, and by 2090 the
Over 10 Years in Selwyn

number of hot days is projected
to increase by up to 60 days.
Dark said the increase in hot
days will mean more irrigation
will be required.
By 2040 the number of frosty
days is projected to decrease
by 10-30, and by 20-50 by the
year 2090, with the number
of snowfall days expected to
decrease by 10-25 days.
Dark said the average rainfall
is likely to stay the same, but the
seasonal distribution of it will
change. Winter will see 40 per
cent more of the yearly rainfall
than it currently does.
“We are expecting more
rain to fall over winter, up to
40 per cent by the end of the
century, and we are expecting
the number of extreme rainfall
events to increase,” he said.
An example of the effects
of these changes is the road
network; with the increased
number of hot days leading to
more road degradation, and
an increase in extreme rainfall
poses risks to bridges and other
assets, bringing more road
closures.
Dark said the higher end of
the predictions is based on the
scenario in which little action is
taken to combat climate change.

COURT 7
Retirement home robber pleads guilty
• By Emily Moorhouse
AN ELDERLY Darfield resident
thought she was going to die
when a stranger walked through
her retirement village front door
and held a knife to her throat.
Kalib Kerr-Millar then
searched her home before stealing
the woman’s late husband’s
watches and fleeing in her car.
The 27-year-old appeared
at the district court last week,
where he admitted two burglaries
of elderly people and driving
on the wrong side of the road as
he left the scene.
He pleaded guilty to a raft of
charges including aggravated
burglary, theft, assault with a
weapon, burglary, unlawfully
getting into and taking a
motor vehicle and dangerous
driving.
The summary of facts said on
July 12 last year, Kerr-Millar was
travelling with an associate from
Timaru to Christchurch in a
stolen vehicle.
The pair filled up the car with
$218 of petrol at a BP station on
Evans St, Timaru, and left without
paying.
When they were driving
through Methven, police noticed
the stolen vehicle and used road
spikes to deflate its tyres.
The pair then began to overtake
other cars at speed, fishtailing
across the road and accelerating
towards officers preparing
to spike the vehicle again.
Kerr-Millar and his associate
abandoned the vehicle and Kerr-
Millar hid from police.
Between 2.35pm and 7.15pm
that day, he went to an 81-yearold’s
home in a retirement
complex on Ross St, in Darfield.
He entered through the external
garage door and attempted to
steal a Toyota IST but was unable
to start the vehicle because it had
a steering lock.
He stole a black shoulder bag
containing film, a camera and a
pair of socks before leaving.
About 7.15pm, he entered
another home at a retirement
village in Darfield, through the
front door.
The 80-year-old occupant was
watching rugby. Kerr-Millar
approached her holding a knife
and demanded she hand over her
money and car keys.
He then looked through her
medication before demanding
again that she hand over her keys
and money.
The woman looked for the

keys in a drawer that had some
of her late husband’s watches
in it. Kerr-Millar grabbed some
of the watches and put them in
his pocket before searching the
drawer for money and taking the
woman’s car keys.
He also took her handbag and,
holding the knife to the left side
of her body, walked her to her
car.
She opened the external garage
door so he could drive her 2017
Mazda 3 away. As she did so,
she closed and locked the
internal garage door to get away
This report was produced by Open
Justice – Te Pātītī, a Public
Interest Journalism initiative
funded by NZ on Air
from him.
When Kerr-Millar realised she
had locked the internal door, he
crashed through it, pinning her
to the wall.
He then placed the knife
against her throat and traced
it back and forth. Although he
did not cut her, she could feel
the blade against her neck and
thought she was going to die.
She suffered a lumbar sprain as
a result of the incident.
Kerr-Millar then left in her car.
Shortly afterwards, police saw
him driving erratically at speeds
of up to 160km/h on the wrong
side of the road in the stolen car
when there was heavy rain and
surface flooding in the Canterbury
region.
Police stopped him and found
the stolen black shoulder bag, the
woman’s handbag, clothing from
the first burglary, watches and a
large knife.
Kerr-Millar was remanded in
custody until his sentencing in
February next year.

its biggest customer, a2 Milk,
is now looking to reduce its
reliance on Synlait by investing
more in its Southland plant.
Last month a2 Milk cancelled
Synlait’s exclusive supply rights
for stages one to three infant
formula, saying the company’s
delivery levels fell below the
required standard.
Synlait and a2 Milk
announced last week they
were heading to binding
arbitration over Synlait’s
cancelled supply agreement.
Synlait has disputed a2 had
the right to cancel the exclusivity
arrangement. The company will
continue to make infant formula
for a2 under its three-year
rolling-term contract.

A LINCOLN bar will be
demolished after suffering severe
damage in a fire.
Fire ripped through the Black
Door Bar and Eatery in Roberts
St in the early hours of August 26.
Now it has been determined
the building is too damaged to
repair.
“We have been given the
devastating news that Black
Door is to be completely
demolished,” the business said
on Facebook.
“Hearts are breaking as we
lose this beautiful venue in our
wonderful wee town. So much
love and hard work has gone
into this place over the years and
more recently this year by us,
the new owners.
“We were so excited for our
first summer, we had so many
exciting plans for you to all
enjoy with us.”
The business does not own the
building.
“Unfortunately what happens
to 6 Robert St and when, is now
out of our control.”
In September, the fire was
deemed to be caused by a plate
warmer.
The plate warmer, which had
been in place for a number of
years, had dried out the timber
around it, making it more likely

Black Door beyond repair
to catch fire.
Fire investigators said either
the plate warmer had an
electrical failure causing the
dry timbers around it to ignite
or the timbers self-ignited from
residual heat.
Lincoln Volunteer Fire Brigade
responded to the call along with
other crews from Rolleston and
Christchurch.
Despite the loss of the
business, the team has not given
up.
“We have not given up our
dream of giving Lincoln the best
food, cocktails and service so
will be keeping all our options
open. Hoping to find a way back
to you all in the near future!
“Thank you again for all the
support we have received from
you all since the fire, it really has
been amazing.”

Dog park
gets more
training
time
• By Daniel Alvey
THE SELWYN Dog Training
Club will now be able to host an
extra training night.
The club applied to add Monday
nights, 6.30-9pm, to its current
nights of Tuesday Wednesday
and Thursday, along with Sunday
mornings.
The club was seeking the additional
night of training to spread
out the number of those attending
each night to allow trainers
to better manage classes and
improve parking in and around
the dog park.
Council finance and performance
committee members were
supportive of the club’s proposal
and approved the change to its
lease.
In September there were 2342
dogs registered in the Rolleston
area belonging to 1239 owners.
Given the amount of users of
the park, the council chose to seek
public consultation which came
back 71.1 per cent in support of
the change and the club’s work.
During training times 1.27ha of
the park will still be available for
general users.

THERE IS hope a new home
can be found for a popular bike
park.
The Lincoln jump park which
was revitalised by a group of local
teenagers is due to be demolished
to make way for Meijer
Dr to connect with Boundary
Rd as part of the work to extend
Lincoln Domain.
The park has proved popular
after a large jump was added,
with many heading along to
hone their skills.
It was always known the park
was temporary, with the hope a
new location could be found.
Mike Barnsley, father of one
of the teens responsible for the
park’s new success, said they
have had positive talks with the
council to find a new home for
it.
“We’re stoked,” he said.
“I have been thoroughly impressed
with how positive and
enabling they have been all the
way through.”
Barnsley said they working
with the council to secure a
location for the park, with the
current plan to put it somewhere
in the extended reserve space
near the Meijer Dr extension.

HARD WORK: Fergus Barnsley, Erik Williams and Josh McCarthy hope to be able to do
more jumps like this once a new home for the park is found.
He said Fergus, his son, and
friends Erik Williams and Josh
McCarthy have remained connected
with the project.
“The boys have put together
a bit of a layout plan which
has gone through. It was quite
intentional to have the boys involved
with it so they can learn
some stuff about how the world
around them works.”
Council head of capital works
Kamal Narang said no final
decisions have been made for
the park.
“The council is still in discussion
with the jump users about
possible options for the future
and no decisions have been
made.”
The park is currently closed
for use while the council remove
trees in the area as part of the
project, with it expected to
reopen in a few weeks. Once the
work has been completed it is
expected to remain open for a
while longer, with no final date
set.
The road extension is due
to take place in the 2025/26
financial year and the design is
in progress.
Narang wanted to remind
people not to enter the site while
it was fenced off.
“We have had a few people
entering the site over the past
few weeks. With the site being
unsafe due to tree removal work
and a number of questions from
the community around about
what was happening we thought
it was timely to remind people
about what was happening and
to stay safe.”

Council to increase sports facilities
due to growing population
• By Daniel Alvey
THE DISTRICT will now have a
framework for prioritising sport
and recreation facility upgrades.
This year the council has
focused on developing a plan
for sport and recreation in the
district as it responds to the
growing need for new facilities
and upgrades to cope with
growth.
The Spaces and Places plan
now adopted by council will
sit alongside the Waikirikiri
Selwyn Play, Active Recreation
and Sport strategic action
plan (PARS plan) and help
guide where council invests its
resources.
The plan sets out the district’s
challenges and how it will deal
with them. The main challenge
is a growing population leading
to increased participation in
sports.
By 2048 the district population
is expected to be 131,000,
with Rolleston and Lincoln to
account for nearly 50 per cent of
the district’s population by 2033.
“Selwyn District has been
in a significant growth mode
for some time which is placing
EXPANSION: A new 100ha park will be built on the eastern
side of Rolleston to keep up with district growth.
pressure on the assets and
facilities provided by council to
support participation in play,
active recreation and sports
activities,” council asset manager
of open spaces and facilities
Mark Rykers said in his report.
“The (PARS) Spaces and
Places Plan has been developed
to provide direction on projects
and actions needed to respond to
this growth and the consequent
demand.”
In the last three years
gymnastics, basketball,
football, roller sports,
pickleball, cricket,
softball, hockey, motor
racing, and archery have
all seen large increases
in participation numbers
(11 per cent or higher).
The plan also sets
out current planned investment
Mark Rykers
which includes a new reserve
on the eastern side of Rolleston,
more fields at Kakaha Park, a
Prebbleton community centre
and the Lincoln Domain
extension.
Council has purchased about
99 hectares of land with the
intention of developing it to
accommodate the needs of the
district’s growing population.
Council major projects
manager Phil Millar said design
work on the first stage, about 35
hectares, will begin next year.
“We are currently starting the
needs assessment and visioning
stage of the project and aim to
start gathering ideas from the
community early next year to
help us identify the community
needs and desires for the park.
“As a significant asset for
the district, we want the
development (. . .) to have
strong community input,”
Millar said.
Currently the district’s
sports park provision
is above the national
benchmark,
but in some areas the
amount of facilities
available currently doesn’t meet
the required need.
The Rolleston/West Melton/
Weedons catchment is expected
to remain under-supplied until
the new 100 hectare district park
comes online, with a suggestion
the development of the park
could be bought forward to
2024/25 to help close the gap
quicker.
The Lincoln/Prebbleton/
Broadfield/Springston
catchment will continue to be
under-supplied until 2027/28
unless Kakaha Park and Lincoln
Domain extensions are brought
forward.
As part of adopting the plan,
council supported in principal
the implementation of the
actions and priorities subject
to budget approval, as well
as funding for projects in the
annual and long term plans.
Currently the plan outlines
a total capital expenditure
programme of $75 million,
about $40 million of which is
currently budgeted for in the
2021-31 LTP.
“It is intended that this
programme is considered in
preparing the draft 2024-34
LTP,” Rykers said.

Gunman declined parole over concerns
for the community he ‘terrorised’
• By Sam Sherwood
A MASKED gunman who shot
two women during a horrific
home invasion in Rolleston and
robbed six Canterbury pubs and
bars at gunpoint, making off
with $115,000 during a five-week
reign of terror, has been declined
parole.
The Parole Board said it was
concerned about his proposed
release “to the very community
he terrorised”.
Douglas Anderson Roake,
then 23, was jailed for 13
years and eight months with a
minimum non-parole period
of six-and-a-half years in 2017
following his crime spree. The
money he stole has never been
recovered.
Roake, who worked as a security
guard at Richie McCaw’s
wedding, made his first appearance
before the Parole Board
earlier this month at Rolleston
Prison.
The board’s report described
his offending as “extremely serious
and premeditated”.
Roake had no previous convictions
and had struggled with
“obsessive behaviour and rigid
thinking patterns”.
At sentencing, Roake said the
money was stolen in order to obtain
illegal body-building drugs
for strongman competitions.
There was also a suggestion he
may have been affected by misuse
of performance-enhancing
drugs, but the sentencing judge
was not convinced of a link with
the offending.
Roake expressed “regret” for
the offending, and said he knew
it had caused the victims a “lifetime
of trauma”, the board said.
He had been “highly motivated”
to engage in treatment
while in prison.
Roake was now assessed as
posing a low risk of violent reoffending,
with the risk scenario
centred on manipulation by
others.
“There was real cruelty and
GUNMAN: Roake was jailed for 13 years after robbing six
pubs and shooting two women in a home invasion.

callousness in his treatment
of the victims, who included
people known to him who had
treated him well.”
Roake was now considered to
be on the “reintegration pathway”.
He had been working in the
Rolleston Prison construction
yard and there were “very good”
reports of his work ethic and his
interactions with others.
“Mr Roake wants to return to
bodybuilding but told the board
he does not need to take supplements
or testosterone in order to
achieve this.”
His proposed release address
was in Christchurch, close to
the scenes of a number of his
robberies.
It was proposed to manage
victim notification register
concerns with exclusion zones of
Christchurch and Rolleston, and
it was intended that he would be
reporting to probation in Ashburton
and taking back routes to
achieve this.
The board did not believe his
treatment to date to be of the
“expected intensity” for such
offending.
“We also have real concerns
about the proposed release,
essentially back to the very community
he terrorised”.
There were a large number of
victims who were left “deeply
traumatised”.
Creating a limited exclusion
zone was in the board’s view
“inappropriately places the onus
on victims” to confine themselves
to those zones.
The board said there was still
work to do, without which risk
was undue.
The board will see Roake
again in July 2024.
After four armed robberies of
pubs across Canterbury, Roake’s
spree came to a terror-stricken
crescendo on April 19.
At about 10pm, he went
to a farm in Rolleston where
Nicola Dawson and her daughter
Michaela lived in the main
house.
Her aunty Deidre Dawson
lived in a barn at the property.
Heavily-disguised, with a
black woollen hat with the eyes
cut out, Roake entered the farm
carrying a long-barrelled pump
action shotgun and black sports
bag containing a mallet.
As Deidre was putting items
in her car parked outside, Roake
appeared, pointing the gun at
her.
He ordered her into the house.
While Roake was distracted,
she managed to flee and phone
police.
Roake blasted two shots into
the locked front door of the
main house, where the mother
and daughter, Nicola and
Michaela, had been watching
TV.
He told them to get on the
floor and demanded money and
keys to a car.
Michaela, believing she was
going to be killed, refused to lie
down, and tried to grab the gun.
Meanwhile, 53-year-old Nicola
ran from the room and phoned
police, as well as her son who
lived nearby.
Roake hit Michaela with the
mallet, aiming at her
head, before shooting her in the
leg.
She tried to run away, and
Roake was bashing her again
with the mallet when Nicola
came back into the room and
tried to strike him with a vase.
He swung the firearm to
Nicola and he told her: “I’m
going to shoot you”.
He shot her in the stomach,
causing her to fall to the floor.
Her son Creighton had
then showed up. Roake aimed
at his head, but was out of
ammunition.
After the home invasion,
Roake fled to Ashburton where
he held up the Ashburton Hotel.
“This is a robbery, get inside,
and lie on the ground,” he said.
He fired a shot into a wall and
then two more into the cash till
as he tried to open it.
He took $1645 in cash from
the safe before fleeing to an
address at Rakaia Huts.
Police found him the following
morning where he admitted the
Ashburton robbery.

Roake said
the money
from the
robberies was
to fund illegal

competitions.

268ha Sheep and Cattle Property Close to Christchurch
Our retiring vendor has decided after 32 years of ownership now is
the time to downsize which means this diverse sheep and beef

With a good balance of flats and hill, the property is easily accessible
with lane ways and farm tracks, also with a good mix of shelter. Stock
and domestic water is supplied from a bore supplying troughs and
houses. Two dwellings, one being on its own 4ha title, a wool shed,
sheep and cattle yards and an array of farm sheds complete the

Festival an annual highlight
for Ellesmere Big Band
A WEEK AFTER bad weather
halted its performance at
the Ellesmere Show, the
Ellesmere Big Band took part
in the Christchurch Big Band
Festival.
The Big Band Festival has
become an annual highlight,
with bands from as far away
as Invercargill and Nelson
playing over Labour weekend,
as well as Christchurch school
bands.
The Ellesmere Big Band
sported new shirts bought
with a grant from Ellesmere
Lions and was led by new
band leader Vincent Leahy,
who has family ties to
Ellesmere and teaches music
at Hagley College.
The band’s four days of
performance started at
Riverside Market on Saturday.
Ellesmere Big Band chairperson
Alex Hayward described
it as a “somewhat surreal
experience” with a large
crowd of Palestine supporters
congregating at the Bridge of
Remembrance while the band
was playing.
Due to wet weather,
Sunday’s performance at
ON STAGE: The Ellesmere Big Band performing at the Big Band Festival.
Victoria Square was relocated
to the Church Bar (what
was the Trinity Church in
Manchester St).
Said Hayward: “It was a
great venue to play in, with
its stained glass windows and
vaulted wooden ceiling.”
Sunday evening saw the
band playing at Fat Eddies
Bar to another appreciative
audience, including friends
from the Swing Dancers.
Monday dawned sunny,
with a large crowd attending
the Picnic in the Park. The
band joined 13 others in a
non-stop performance across
two adjacent stages.
Hayward said band
members thoroughly enjoyed
performing and listening
to the other bands, all of
whom provided four days
entertainment without
renumeration.
• Ellesmere Big Band’s
next performance will
be at the Lincoln Santa

Crowds flock to Hororata parish
SALE: The
‘country
auction’
proved a
popular place
to secure a
bargain.
Martha
and Emily
Richards help
sell raffle
tickets.
THE ANNUAL Labour Day Hororata
Parish Spring Fair saw a large crowd
enjoy a good-spirited community
event.
“This is an important event for the
parish as it helps fund pastoral care
in our community but equally it is a
great affordable family day out that
brings many people together,” committee
member Nicola Hardy said.
There were more than 60 market
stalls, and a range of activities.
With entertainment from Duncan
Chisholm and the Selwyn Community
Choir, there was plenty to keep
the crowd of nearly 2000 people busy.
The popular creative kids’ competition
saw children from around Malvern
draw and build places that are
special to them in the community.
“It is also a chance for locals to have
a spring clean and we were donated
some amazing items for our white
elephant stall and country auction.
Lots of people went away with a smile
having found a treasure to take home.
“Thank you to everyone who came,
the stallholders, performers, activity
providers, sponsors, donors and most
of all amazing team of volunteers who
made it all happen,” Hardy said.
ENTERTAIN: The Selwyn Choir was one of the musical performers. Right – Liam Dodds, Macsen Innes, Toby
Driscoll and Guy Hardy go for victory in the sack race.

School leavers grow into no-nonsense
shepherds on high country station
At Coleridge Downs
station, Cosmo Kentish-
Barnes finds out about
a cadetship programme
turning fresh-faced
school leavers into
hardy shepherds
COLERIDGE Downs overlooks
the Rakaia Gorge on the
northern side of the mighty
river, and the scenery around
the station’s rolling hills is
spectacular.
Mt Hutt, Peak Hill and the
Benmore Range are constant
reminders of the Southern Alps
and the harsh environment it
holds.
The station offers four cadet
placements each year, for a twoyear
cadetship.
Jack Innes is a second-year cadet
who was just 17 when he arrived.
But, despite his age, Innes
says it was easy to settle in.
“Everyone was pretty friendly
so you fit in pretty quick.”
Innes was given a working dog
pup when he arrived. Now he has
three.
“And I’m planning on buying
another broken-in heading dog at
the end of this year.”
As a cadet, practical training
is provided by working alongside
senior staff in the day-to-day
management of sheep, beef and
deer farms – a total of 9000 hectares
running 45,000 stock units.
General manager Tony
Plunkett said the cadetship
programme has been running for
nine years, but
it all began with
his own sons.
“We were
looking around
for a training
programme for
them and just
Tony
Plunkett
found that there
wasn’t a lot out
there.”
By pure coincidence, a good
friend was pushing to start a
programme in the South Island.
And the rest is history.
SHARING KNOWLEDGE: The cadetship programme at Coleridge Downs has been
running for nine years.
PHOTOS: COSMO KENTISH-BARNES
The four cadets for next year
have been chosen from 30 applicants,
Plunkett said.
“We probably see the other side
of the industry. We get a bit sick
of hearing about no young people
coming into the industry and yet
we’ve got this cadet thing going.
“We’ve got 30 kids apply for
four (spaces). Of that, we could
easily take 20 of them who all
want to get into agriculture. They
just need the opportunity to
start.”
Further up the gorge, first-year
cadet Lucy Moffatt is checking
on a mob of sheep.
Moffat said she had always
wanted to work in the agricultural
industry but did not want
to head to university straight out
of school.
“School wasn’t really what I
wanted to do. I wanted to do
something a lot more practical
and hands-on, and we’re still getting
a lot of learning.
“I’d love to go shepherding
down south next.”
The learning is centred around
the farming calendar.
Said training manager Kristen
O’Callaghan: “We’ll be working
really hard on everything to do
with lambing and calving and
feeding at the moment.
Kristen
O’Callaghan
LEARNERS: Jack Innes at the on-farm accommodation unit for the cadets and first-year cadet Lucy Moffat.
“It gets a
bit too busy
through summer
so we don’t
do quite so
much classwork
and then come
next autumnwinter,
we do a
lot of classwork
through those times.”
O’Callaghan said the students
get stroppy if they have not had a
class in a while.
However, class time was also
a good opportunity for her to
check on the students’ welfare.
“A massive part of it is pastoral
care. They just can’t succeed unless
they are looked after.
“A lot of them are 17 when they
arrive. It’s not always smooth
sailing. It’s always fun for the
first week. And then by the end
of a couple of months in the hot,
dry summer, there’s usually a few
tears for most of them.”
O’Callaghan said her job as
‘camp mother’ was to put a bit
of care around them and get the
students going again.
“There’s so many kids out there
that are keen and just want that
start and it’s so hard to get that
good start without them being
soured.”
She believes other farmers
need to be prepared to put in the
time to train and support young
workers – and then there might
not be such a shortage of workers.

Sustainable community
the vision for future
A sustainable community is the primary vision for Selwyn residents over the
next decade.
Almost 800 residents gave feedback on their priorities for the next 10 years, to
support the development of the district’s Long-Term Plan 2024-34, which will be
out for consultation in April.
Residents highlighted the importance of a ‘sustainable Selwyn’, where the district
is self-sufficient with services and facilities for people at all stages of life and the
environment is cared for.
“The community has been clear in its ambitions and it’s an exciting vision for the
future,” Mayor Sam Broughton says. “Now we need to work together with our
community on a plan for achieving those, including what the realistic costs are and
what trade-offs may be required.”
To make this possible, people indicated a desire for the district to become more
economically innovative, and a better spread of infrastructure and services,
Council Chief Executive Sharon Mason says.
“People love what we have, with 86% of people saying they have a positive
experience of living here. There’s also a strong desire for clear planning, to
protect that.”
Residents also indicated an openness to necessary funding decisions including
increasing rates if it was to achieve their priorities.
“We’ve got the direction for where people want to go, now the task is to nail down
a plan to achieve what we can. To achieve the outcomes sought by the community
will require extra funding. It’s good to see people are realistic about that. We are
conscious of affordability and we’re looking at different ways to cover those costs,
which could include significant rates increases. We’ll put those options out to
community to consider.”

Selwyn welcomes new citizens
In the Council's recent citizenship ceremony, newcomers and long-term residents took
a collective step towards officially becoming Kiwis.
The ceremony, held at Te Ara Ātea, was attended by family, friends and supporters
as 39 individuals received their New Zealand citizenship. Hailing from 11 different
countries, including Libya, Brazil, the Philippines, and more, Selwyn's newest Kiwis
were welcomed by Te Taumutu Rūnanga chairperson Liz Brown who opened the
event and introduced with a waiata.
Special guests included Major Lawrence Field from the Defence Force, Deputy Mayor
Malcolm Lyall, Councillors Elizabeth Mundt and Phil Dean, and Dr Surinder Tandon,
President of the Christchurch Multicultural Council.
Mayor Sam Broughton who led the event, encouraged the group to bring enriching
elements like their traditions, language, culture, history, and faith to the wider
community, all of which adds a rich layer to our district and nation.
Don’t run dry this summer
The hot weather is coming and it’s time to make sure we’re being smart with
our water use and make sure we don’t run dry this summer.
With El Niño here NIWA is
forecasting a hot, dry, windy
summer for Selwyn. That’s
why we’re reminding residents
to use water wisely through
simple habits that help your
garden, save you money and
help keep water flowing for
everyone without
water restrictions.
Now is the time to get
into good habits, Council
Acting Executive Director
Infrastructure and Property
Murray England says.
“Everyone has a part in
making sure we have enough
water throughout summer. With the winds we’ve had things are drying out
fast, but the good news is there’s lots of simple things we can all do that are
good for your garden, the environment, your wallet and the wider community.
Things like watering efficiently and using the water clock to water outside of
peak times, it all adds up to a better summer for everyone.”
Tips for saving water at home
• Skip some days watering to keep your plants strong.
Water your garden and lawn every few days rather than every day.
Watering every day encourages roots to develop at the surface, making
them more vulnerable to hot dry spells.
• Water for shorter.
For example, watering for three 5-minute intervals over a couple of
hours lets the soil absorb more water than watering for
15 minutes continuously.
• Use a watering can on your garden.
It uses less water and gives you more control to water at the roots,
where the plants need the water to grow strong — not on the leaves.
• Water what needs it.
Your driveway, footpath, or buildings don't need watering.
Consider not watering your berm or your lawn too — let it die off during
summer to save money on your water rates and wear and tear on your
lawn mower.
• Mulch or cover.
Covering the soil with mulch or organic matter keeps moisture in the
soil, protects roots from sun and wind and reduces weeds.
• Check for leaks.
Inspect hoses and taps.

Malvern Principals building Sister Schools
relationships in China
In a two-week journey through China, a delegation of Malvern Primary School Principals, along with
Darfield High School’s Principal and International Director, deepened their understanding of Chinese
culture and established Sister School relationships.
The Council as part of the Sister Cities Committees, supports educational links through the Sister
Schools initiative, which seeks to contribute to global networking, cultural enrichment, and the
development of international perspectives for students, educators, and communities.
Joined by colleagues from high schools and area schools in Christchurch and Dunedin, the delegation's
primary goal was to explore the enduring legacy of Rewi Alley.
Born in Springfield in 1897, Alley was known for dedicating his life to establishing schools and
cooperatives for the rural poor in China, and through his writings on Chinese industry and philosophy.
In Gansu province, the delegation visited schools in Shandan and Lanzhou, with a special focus on
Shandan Bailie Vocational College, a Sister School with Darfield High School for nearly 26 years.
Darfield High School Principal Andy England presented a traditional Māori weapon, the tewhatewha, to
Principal Peng, symbolising the unity of their two peoples across distance and connecting earth and sky
— a sentiment deeply inspired by Rewi Alley's legacy.
The delegation, led by Allison Rosanowski, expressed gratitude for the warm welcome received.
"It was gratifying to observe the way the delegation was welcomed wherever they travelled. The
school visits were particularly memorable, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Chinese
education" she said.
Other highlights included seeing the Great Wall, the Summer Palace, Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden
City, and a moa skeleton donated by Roger Duff of the Canterbury Museum.

Douglas poised to shift up a gear
TEST: Lincoln teenager Jacob Douglas was in the USF Pro 2000 car for the first time 10
days ago. The test follows his back-to-back wins in USF 2000 in September (right).
• By Daniel Alvey
LINCOLN teenager Jacob
Douglas is expecting to move up
the ladder in his pursuit to get to
the top tier of motorsport.
The 18-year-old is looking to
make the move from USF 2000
to USF Pro 2000, the next step
on the road to IndyCar.
He performed well in the first
USF Pro 2000 pre-season test at
Indianapolis Motor Speedway,
on October 21 and 22.
Douglas finished in the top 5
in four out of the five sessions he
set a lap in and beat Pabst Racing
teammate Simon Sikes, who won
the USF 2000 championship, in
the same four sessions.
“It was pretty good,” Douglas
said.
The strong test added to an
almost perfect finish to the USF
2000 championship. Douglas
finished the final round of USF
2000 at Portland International
Raceway, Oregon, in September
with maiden poles and back-toback
wins.
Douglas only finished the
championship in sixth place,
but it did not reflect his true
pace. In the first part of the
season, he suffered multiple
mechanical retirements, which
promoted a mid-season team
switch from Exclusive Autosport
to Pabst.
While a deal is yet to be
signed, Douglas is expected to
have a seat in the Pro series for
2024.
The Pro cars are similar to
what Douglas was racing this
year, but will be faster with
bigger tyres, front and rear
wings, diffusers and engines.
“A bit of a step up in all
aspects,” he said.
Douglas said he would like to
be a championship contender
next year, and is keeping his
goals realistic.
“We showed we had good pace.
Obviously we’d love to fight for
a championship, but I think
our goal is probably to have a
really solid first season, get some
podiums, hopefully some wins,
show we have the pace and then
win the championship in the
second year.”
Douglas is currently back
in New Zealand testing in the
Formula Regional Oceania
Championship car, which has
five rounds across New Zealand
in January and February, and
attracts drivers from across the
world.
Douglas said he has yet to
finalise his spot on the grid for
the summer series as he works to
secure the funding required.

AGE HAS proved no barrier
for Geoff Prattley.

Club’s Howson’s Trophy with

Lancaster was also the

They received their awards
at the end-of-year prize giving
at the Springston Hotel.
“Springston club acquitted
itself well in the wider
Ellesmere competitions,
winning the Bullock Trophy,
second year running, which
was for club with most points
in the champion of champion

Springston members
were also runners-up in
the champion of champion
mixed pairs, husband and

championship triples.
“Coupled with the increase
in membership over the year,
prospects for next season
look exceptionally good for
another successful year,”
Pickering said.

favourite in former years and will feature live entertainment each evening. PHOTOS: SUPPLIED
Touch Rugby is just one of the 60+ sports on offer at the Otago Community Trust New Zealand
Masters Games in 2024. You don’t need to be an elite athlete to enter the Games – you just
need to be the right minimum age for your sport and be keen to have a go.
Join in the fun at the NZ Masters Games
The Otago Community
Trust New Zealand
Masters Games are
back and they’re
bigger than ever.
The 35th annual Masters
Games will be held in Ōtepoti
Dunedin from February 3-11,
2024. During this time, an
estimated 5,000+ people from
around New Zealand, Australia,
and the globe will come
together to enjoy Aotearoa's
largest annual multi-sport
event.
The goal of the Games is to
encourage participation in
sport, no matter a person’s age
or ability, says New Zealand
Masters Games Manager Vicki
Kestila.
“You don’t need to qualify
or be an elite athlete to enter.
You just have to be the right
minimum age for your particular
event and be keen to have a
go. We have participants aged
18 to 96 and beyond – some
are competitive and out to win
medals but others are there to
catch up with friends and enjoy
the social side of things.”
There are more than 60 sports
on offer during the Games,
including new events such
as Pickleball, Jigsaw Racing
and Cowboy Action Shooting.
The sports are open to people
of all abilities and some
selected sports also have para
categories, such as Archery,
Athletics – Track and Field,
Petanque, Cornhole, Darts,
Power Lifting, Indoor Rowing,
Swimming and Indoor Triathlon.
There is also a range of "fun"
events on offer, including Wine
Tasting and the Twilight 400.
Registration is now open,
with an Early Bird Entry Fee
available until the end of
November.
There is also the option to
register as a Supporter, which
provides all the benefits of a
competitor, with the exception
of being able to compete in any
Masters Games sports or win
medals.
"Supporters can cheer on
friends or family during their
sporting event, then head
along to enjoy the evening
entertainment at the Games
Hub. You don't have to
compete to be part of the
action,” says Vicki.
Back by popular demand,
the University Union will play
host to the Games Hub, where
participants can get together
for activities and entertainment,
including a full programme of
live music each evening.
“As well as all the activities at
the Games Hub, Dunedin is a
compact city full of excellent
eateries, bars and galleries,
with amazing wildlife right
on our doorstep,” says Vicki.
“We’re looking forward to
welcoming all our out-of-town
competitors to our great small
city.”

Selwyn Celebrates Diwali –
The Festival of Lights
Celebrating Diverse India in Diverse
New Zealand.
Diwali symbolises the spiritual “victory
of light over darkness, good over evil, and
knowledge over ignorance”.
Selwyn Diwali is a festival designed
to celebrate our community’s cultural
diversity through a myriad of cultural
art forms including various arts, crafts,

plenty of delicious ethnic cuisines. There
will be fireworks at approximately 9pm to
close the evening.
The event is proudly brought to you
by Canterbury Indian Women Group
and Bhartiya Samaj Canterbury, in
association with Generation Homes.
It is also supported by NZ Mortgages,

Three words vs the worst of the winds
• By Isabelle Teresa
Point – Park – Anchor. These are
the three words that can protect your
irrigator during the worst of the winds.
Saturday 14 October saw wind
gusts across Selwyn of up to 200km/h.
Although extreme, looking back, that’s
not unusual. Galeforce winds have long
been a feature of Canterbury’s spring
weather conditions – for example, spring
2013 saw winds of over 160km/h.
And looking forward, well it’s certainly
part of our immediate future, with the
strong and blustery winds of an El Niño
summer waiting in the wings.
Fortunately, weather forecasting is
(on the whole!) accurate enough these
days to predict the timing and severity
of such weather with a few days’ notice.
Farmers and growers should have
sufficient warning to take the appropriate
safety actions for their precious irrigator
equipment.
Point: Point the irrigator longitudinally
downwind, to reduce the surface area
exposed to the wind. If the shape of your
field allows, keep the corner arms in line
with the rest of the machine. The worst
position for corner arms to be left in is at
90 degrees of the wind direction.
Park: A liner/lateral irrigator should be
installed to point down the dominant wind
direction. For pivot irrigators, establish
options of one or two parking spaces that
face downwind.
Anchor: Finding somewhere to tie the
irrigator to an anchor can be a challenge
because they don’t have designated places
for straps to be attached. Farmers need
to talk to their suppliers to understand
the strength of each truss rod bracket in
various models and brands, and therefore
how many ties are needed to keep the span
stable. Tying from the base beam to the
ground is the fastest method but should
be done in combination with tying to the
span. Tying at the wheels should reduce
bouncing but the spans can still roll over
in big gusts.
The crucial thing is to have done
these three steps before the wind hits.
Otherwise, it may be too unsafe for people
to attempt during the high winds.
For more detail, access the excellent
resources at www.irrigationnz.co.nz
These include specific guidance for our
local conditions, co-published by FMG
with Lincoln University, the “Irrigator
Advice Guide”.
Point – Park – Anchor may not be
the usual most magic three little
words in the world, but in this
scenario, they’re the three most
essential.

The Show must go on… must it?
• By Isabelle Teresa
In the week leading up to the Ellesmere
A&P Show, with wind warnings looming,
this was the question on everyone’s lips –
including the organisers.
The Show did go on, with thousands
of people, including myself, attending
and having an excellent time. The wind
obviously made things difficult, partly
because it was so loud, as well as the
strong, icecream-toppling gusts. However
the day was sunny and warm and whole
families were out for a good time.
Numbers were down just 20% on the
previous year.
Many events and activities continued
as normal, such as showing classes and
wood chopping. The many attractions
inside buildings, such as shearing and the
various historical, flower and produce
displays were unaffected, as was the very
well received opening of Selwyn Heritage
Park. Sideshow attractions and food
trucks continued their successful trade
well into the afternoon.
The Association had advised stall
holders in advance of the possible high
winds, but very few chose to not attend.
During the day their battles with gazebos
grew harder and harder. Some moved
to a more sheltered location, and some
were able to operate without their roof,
depending on the nature and size of their
wares.
One of the Facebook refrains was,
why didn’t they just postpone till
Sunday? It’s noteworthy that the A&P
Association considered cancelling or
going participator-only, not postponing.
The Show is a logistical juggernaut. The
coordination of participants arriving
from across the district, bringing so many
different types of animals, cannot be
postponed at the last minute.
The Show did go on, and it’s a credit to
the passion, resilience and commitment
of all people involved, from the organisers
to the exhibitors and participants to the
public who attended.
And one thing’s for sure – it’s a Show
we’ll never forget!
Anchored: Proper job
Gazebo struggles
While it was a frustration for stallholders
that the entrance gates were closed after
the emergency alert, for those who were
able to hang in there, the public supported
them by continuing to shop. Sadly some
had to pack up. The organisers estimate
that around 20% of stall holders headed
home early.
As inevitable, social media had many
opinions about this whole situation. Once
the emergency alert was issued at 11.40am,
the mood turned from questioning to
criticism. Subsequent announcements
throughout the afternoon emphasised
multiple dangers to drivers, especially
those with high-sided vehicles such as
horseboxes.

llesmere Show – wind safety
• By Isabelle Teresa
The absolute last thing that any event
organiser wants, in the middle of their
event, is the issuing of an emergency alert.
When that text alert pinged out across
the Show on Sat 14 October at 11.40, you
could feel the wave of reaction across the
crowd and exhibitors like. But what the
crowd wasn’t in a position to know, is that
the A&P Association had been monitoring
the upcoming weather situation all week
and prepared multiple safety options. They
already had precautions in place on the day
before the alert, and had a further safety
plan ready to swing into action should
events escalate.
Jeff Wheeler, Show President, confirms
that the Executive of the Show Committee
did consider the options of either cancelling
the Show or making it participants-only, as
occurred in 2021 due to COVID. Had the
“Red” level of warning been issued on the
Friday, those options were in place.
Cancelling the Show would have meant
the loss of a key event in the Canterbury
Show schedule, with no opportunity to
reschedule in the tight build up to the NZ
Agricultural Show in November.
The mission became, to make the Show
as safe as possible. In the week beforehand,
the Association contacted all stall holders
to advise appropriate precautions, and
downscaled the sideshow alley rides in
variety and suitability. The rides were
deliberately positioned in a sheltered area,
with wind meter monitoring throughout
the day.
First thing Saturday the wind speed
was moderate, so the decision was made
to carry on while closely monitoring
the conditions. The website carried the
message: ***2023 Show Still On***

Precautions in place on that morning,
before the alert, included closing the larger
marquees. Unfortunately this meant the
cancellation of some key entertainments,
such as bands on the main stage and
attractions inside the marquees, including
the second Wearable Arts show, and the
public lunch marquee. The Grain and seed
section, animal farmyard and some events
in the horse section were also cancelled.
Soon after the emergency alert, the
entrance gates were closed. While a hard
decision, it was a necessary stepping stone.
The rationale was, that if a further decision

to pour in for
Katie Cox amid
battle with cancer
• By Jonny Turner
THE KATIE Cox fund is now at
$130,000 after a massive response from
within and outside the harness racing
community.
The talented and respected trainerdriver,
who is 33, was recently diagnosed
with a rare form of lung cancer.
Kirstin Green recently put the call
out for her fellow drivers to offer their
financial support to a fundraising
campaign for Canterbury trainer driver
Cox, who has recently been diagnosed
with a rare form of lung cancer.
A charitable trust was set up to
contribute to paying Cox’s medical
expenses, which are set to go into the
hundreds of thousands of dollars. Cox
expressed her gratitude for the continued
donations and support,
“I am humbled by your generosity
and the many kind words,” she wrote on
Facebook.
“A big thanks must also go to all those
who have helped initiate this.
“I have started on my first treatments
this week and all is going well so far,
hopefully the results will be excellent
from this medication.”
Several leading drivers have committed
to answering Green’s challenge to
donate a driving fee each month during
November.
Green said she was thrilled with the
response to her challenge from her
colleagues.
“It has been amazing; pretty much
every driver that I’ve spoken to is keen to
get on board.”
“The response has been absolutely
amazing, I am just thrilled that people
are going to jump on board with it.”
Among those to commit to the
scheme are Blair Orange, Mark Hurrell,
Sam Thornley, Sarah O’Reilly, Kerryn
Tomlinson, and Nathan, Matthew, and
Brad Williamson.
Green was in winning action at
Winton last week when producing He’s
A Meister for a tough victory in the
meeting’s feature pace.
The pacer was left without cover in the
parked position for much of his 2400m
assignment. But He’s A Meister brushed
off that extra work when rallying
strongly to win race 8.
Brad Williamson was also in the
winner’s circle, taking out yesterday’s
feature trot with a positive drive behind
Missile.
Williamson kept pushing forward early
in the race with the Phil Williamsontrained
trotter, and after finding the
front, Missile proved too tough for his
rivals to catch.
Mark Hurrell was another of the
drivers backing the campaign to support
Cox in winning form.
The reinsman produced a winning
double in the sulky with the Craig
Ferguson trained duo of Rustenburg and
Louie’s Girl.
Rustenburg backed up his sensational
maiden win at Wyndham recently, while
Louie’s Girl ran to a big win in her debut
for the Ferguson stable.
“Rustenburg was pretty good today;
he did everything right and won pretty
easily, on what was a bit of a testing
track,” Hurrell said.
“Louie’s Girl had been going well at the
workouts, but she really stepped up at the
races.”
“On that run, you would think she
would have a good future.”

Lincoln Envirotown’s
Annual Clothes Swap
This popular event
will take place on the
evening of Thursday
16th November at the
Lincoln Event Centre.
It has proved to
be a successful and
enjoyable event in
previous years and
once again we expect
many preloved
clothing items to be
exchanged.
People are encouraged
to bring those
clothes that we all
have, unused in
our cupboards, and
drop them off at
designated drop off
points in Lincoln and
Rolleston. The times and
locations of these can
be found on the poster
accompanying this article
or visit Humanitix
(Lincoln Clothes Swap)
or Lincoln Envirotown’s
Facebook or website.
Those who do these
early drop offs will be
given an “Early Bird”
ticket which entitles
them and one other,
to early entry on the
evening.
Textiles are
a major
contributing
element to
landfill and
the longer that
we are able to
keep them in
circulation the
better. It is also a
means of helping
reduce the
negative impacts
of the fashion
industry on our
environment.
There is no
payment for
entry or for
clothes. The
event provides
a chance
to enjoy
changing one’s
wardrobe, as well as
keeping resources
circulating.
Lincoln
Envirotown
looks forward
to welcoming
everyone and
hopes that the
normal busy
evening will be
enjoyed by all.

Time of year for prolific growth
WITH TEMPERATURES rising,
there is that glorious feeling that
summer is not too far away.
Plant growth in the home
garden is rapid, strawberries are
ripening, it is a wonderful time to
be in the garden.
House plant care
Increase the watering of all
houseplants as the temperature
inside the house rises. Re-pot
houseplants where there are
indications they are ‘root bound,’
such as roots appearing at the top
of container or out of drainage
holes, or a lack of growth.
In the flower bed
All summer flowering annuals
can now be safely planted.
Preparation for flower beds is
the same as for vegetable gardens.
Summer flowering annuals
include, alyssum, ageratum, aster,
cornflower, cosmos, marigold,
nemesia, phlox, petunias, portulacas,
strawflower and zinnias. All
of these plants can be successfully
cultivated in containers, these
should be used to brighten up
entrances and decks.
Vegetable garden
A very busy time in the home
vegetable patch. Vegetables to
be harvested include asparagus,
broad beans, carrots, cauliflower,
lettuce, onions, radishes, silver
SUMMER SALAD: If you are short on space, grow in
containers but make sure they are clean.
beet and spinach. Continue
planting beans, beetroot, celery,
corn, lettuce, potatoes, pumpkin,
tomatoes and zucchini. Always
prepare areas to be planted
thoroughly adding fresh compost
to the existing soil. When
planting tomatoes or beans,
add your stake or support at the
same time you plant to reduce
disturbing the roots later. Some
watering may be required towards
the end of the month if there is
insufficient rainfall.
Strawberries
Probably the most prolific
month for harvesting strawberries.
Where birds are problematic,
cover plants with bird netting.
PHOTO: GETTY/GERARD PUIGMAL
Spread fine crushed bark or pea
straw under and around the
plants to provide a clean bed for
the strawberries, remove any old
leaves as they can attract grey
mould.
Raspberries
Raspberries will be growing
rapidly in November; new canes
will be appearing regularly,
attach these to a fence or wire.
Towards the end of the month,
the first of the season’s raspberries
will begin to ripen.
Fruit trees
Fertilise all fruit trees. Mulch
around the base of trees to help
prevent weed growth and help
with water retention as the soil
dries in the heat.
Lawns
Grass grows rapidly in November,
an excellent time to
apply fertiliser. This will encourage
thicker and healthier grass
growth. It is the last safe month
for renovating existing lawns or
sowing a new lawn. Always use
clean topsoil when preparing sites
for new lawns and purchase fresh
grass seed for sowing.
Herbs
This is the perfect month for
planting the new season’s herb
garden. Where possible position
the herb garden near the house
in a sunny and well drained site.
Choose young and healthy plants
as the garden centre, as herbs
grow very quickly. Plant additional
specimens of frequently used
herbs such as parsley, and chives.
Container gardens
There is a considerable range
of plants that can be grown in
containers such as flowering annuals,
some perennials, herbs and
salad vegetables. Before planting,
clean the containers thoroughly
and add fresh potting mix. Ensure
there are enough drainage holes
and that containers are raised off
hard surfaces.

GARDENING 37
Minimise
risk of poor
regrowth
YOU MAY have heard of the
one-third rule when it comes to
pruning trees, which suggests
that you should never prune
more than one third of the crown
of the tree in any given year.
Losing too much mass all at
once is likely to put the tree under
severe stress, which, short of
killing the tree, can lead to poor
or stunted growth. Large wounds
can also leave the plant open to
pest and disease attack.
A typical response to vigorous
pruning is for the tree to produce
strong singular growths, sometimes
referred to as water shoots.
If left, these can permanently
alter the look of the plant from its
natural or desired growth habit.
Depending on your goal, you
may wish to tread lightly and
minimise the risk of unconventional
regrowth, but if your plant
needs an extreme makeover, you
can use the theory of epicormic
growth to your advantage, bearing
in mind that not all plants
are capable of this response so
proceed with caution.
One classic example of this is
coppicing - cutting the tree down
to bare stumps. This can be used
to regenerate the plant and results
in a healthy multi-stemmed
specimen.

Hyundai Sante Fe hybrid smooth and sporty
Motoring with Bob Nettleton
HYUNDAI’S Sante Fe has
joined the electrification party
and is celebrating its arrival by
offering standard and plug-in
hybrid models, with the leap to
full electrification expected in
2024 with the arrival of an allnew
replacement for the current
model.
The Santa Fe is Hyundai’s
longest-running SUV now with
23 years on the clock. In this
time, it’s built a strong following
here, hitting the sweet spot for
many with its 7-seater capability,
spaciousness, and a raft of safety
kit that has helped power it to the
maximum 5-star ANCAP crash
rating.
Switching to hybrid technology
brings the Santa Fe into line
with most Hyundai SUVs sold
here that have some form of
electrified propulsion. It also
appeals to Santa Fe buyers
looking to have a lesser impact
on the environment. Introduced
to our market in early 2022,
it was the first hybrid SUV in
Hyundai New Zealand’s line-up.
Since then, hybrid versions of the
smaller Kona and Tucson have
followed it.
The Santa Fe is available with
Hyundai’s stalwart 1.6-litre
turbocharged four-cylinder
petrol engine combined with
either a 169kW standard hybrid
version or a 195kW plug-in
hybrid option. The Santa Fe
hybrid uses a 44.2kW electric
motor and 1.49kWh lithium-ion
polymer battery, with claimed
fuel consumption figures of
6.3L/100km. The plug-in Santa
Fe can travel up to 56km on
battery power, perfect for daily
commutes. This figure is eclipsed
by the 89km you get with
the slightly smaller but more
affordable Mitsubishi Outlander
PHEV.
Offering two levels of trim, a
base model and the higher spec
Elite model supplied for this
road test, both come with many
of the same features as regular
versions of the Santa Fe but add
wireless smartphone charging
and heated seats to the complete
range. Smart Sense safety
technology is also standard. The
only visual difference from petrol
and diesel Santa Fe models,
apart from the much higher
price, are unique alloy wheel
designs that are exclusive to the
hybrid range. Adding a bit more
pizzazz to styling of the Elite is
LED lighting including Daytime
Running Lights, LED projector
headlights (both high & low
beam), and LED taillights.
Prices for the three-model
hybrid range start at $88,990 for
the entry version and a steepish
$99,990 ask on the Elite being
evaluated here. For another $10k
you can have this model as a
plug-in hybrid. This is a hefty
premium to pay for plug-in
capability, when there is not
an enormous difference in real
world performance separating it
and the standard hybrid.
An energetic 169kW hybrid
power train in the test vehicle
proved surprisingly zesty
compared to the less than
animated performance of some
hybrids, with the test vehicle
especially energetic between
1,500-4,500rpm. This is the rev
sweet spot for ensuring a driving
experience like a good coffee.
Smooth, strong, and leaves you
feeling invigorated. Acceleration
is strong for a standard hybrid
and is almost verging on sporty.
A rich vein of torque and the
extra kick of a battery pack
ensures punchy take offs from
standing starts, and purposeful
mid-range pulling power.
These qualities make light
work of undulating roads and
long energy-sapping hill climbs.
Managing this impressive hybrid
petrol electric is an equally
accomplished uprated 6-speed
automatic.
Passenger and load space
is outstanding with every
centimetre of people and
cargo capacity utilised. It gives
its rivals a lesson in smart
interior packaging and space
maximisation. Adding a touch of
class to the Elite is a full leather
interior and power front seat
adjustment to lock in the perfect
seating position.
I liked the intuitive 8.0”
touchscreen multimedia system,
incorporating Apple CarPlay &
Android Auto for fully integrated
smartphone functionality. Also
included is wireless smartphone
charging. There is a high
quality 6-speaker audio system
incorporating speakers front and
rear and, for good measure, a
pair of tweeters. A clever Smart
Proximity Key system allows easy
access to the vehicle, push button
engine start and stop capability.
A head-up display projects
relevant driving and safety
information directly onto the
windshield. This makes for a
much more relaxing driving
experience, enabling the driver
to keep their eyes on the road,
because now this information is
right under their noses!
The Santa Fe puts its best
safety foot forward with driving
assistance technologies including
Blind-Spot Collision Warning,
Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist with pedestrian detection,
and Lane Keeping Assist. There
is no shortage of smart safety
system at work in this vehicle.
One of the best examples is Rear
Occupant Alert and Safety Exit
Assist. Designed to keep rear
seat passengers safe, it detects
passengers and alerts the driver
when they leave the vehicle.
There has been a re-work of
the suspension to ensure this
Santa Fe has more control and
less body lean when it goes along
Rating out of 10:
Performance 7;
Handling 7; Build Quality
7; Comfort 8; Passenger
and Load Space 8; Fuel
Average Consumption
6.9L/100km, Value
for Money 6; Five Star
ANCAP crash rating; No
clean car fee.
Overall points out of
10: 7.5
twisty roads, or when called on
to make unexpected changes in
direction. A 15mm reduction in
ground clearance over the old
model brings a more composed
feel to the suspension. Through
the bends, it sits noticeably flatter
and is less distracted by uneven
road surfaces, with minimal
lateral vehicle movement from
the rear suspension, even when
it’s ambushed by corrugations or
decent sized potholes in the road.
No high/low ratio 4WD system
and ground clearance trimmed
back to a modest 185mm, the
Santa Fe’s serious off-road
adventuring aspirations are
firmly held in check.
It does a decent enough job
and feels assured traversing
reasonably well-formed tracks
that aren’t too badly weathered
and gnarly. Knowing and
understanding the vehicle
limitations when you decide to
leave the road most travelled will
always keep you out of trouble in
off the tarmac driving.

A DARFIELD farmer has
spoken of watching a man leap into
the flooded Hawkins River to try and
save himself after a helicopter winch
rescue operation failed.
Rod May had taken his tractor to
the scene on Greendale Rd, to try and
reach the middle-aged man who had
been clinging to the branches of a tree
in the rising waters on Sunday night.
The man had driven into the
flooded river, escaped from his car
and ca led emergency services from
his ce lphone which he managed to
keep with him.
Ultimately, a second helicopter
winch operation plucked the man
to safety after he was swept downstream.
It was a happy ending to the
ordeal which had lasted more than
three hours. The rescue was among
several in Canterbury on Sunday in
flooded rivers.
May said he and his family had just
had dinner when a neighbour alerted
them. Arriving about 8.50pm, he saw
the floodwaters were too high for the
tractor, however, he used its lights for
i luminating the site where the man
was. • Turn to page 5

Money
taken
after big
pokie win
• By Ba ry Clarke
A BAR patron who won $1200
on the pokies may have been
targeted by thieves moments after
she co lected the money.
A group of men who were in
the bar a the same time are the
focus of police inquiries. It is
believed they watched her being
paid, and then quickly swooped.
The incident happened at The
Famous Grouse Hotel in Lincoln
two weeks ago.
After she was paid out a the
bar, the men who had been
si ting nearby went over and
congratulated her. While she was
distracted the money disappeared
from her handbag. She only
realised it was gone after she left
the hotel.
Police have taken CCTV
security camera footage from the
hotel which shows the men going
over to the woman and mobbing
her in a congratulatory way. The
footage also captures a hand from
one of the men going towards the
bag.
Police say they may have
identified one of the group but
aren’t saying anymore about
the incident. The Selwyn Times
understands the men are from
the Amberley area.

SPCA is ca ling for an end to commercial greyhound
racing in New Zealand. The animal welfare group says
that New Zealand is one of only seven countries left
operating commercial-level greyhound racing. Most
recently the US states of Arkansas, Florida and Iowa a l
announced phase-outs of greyhound racing.
Only last year the Government took an
unprecedented step to pu the performance of
Greyhound Racing New Zealand ‘on notice’, indicating
tha the industry would be measured based on key
performance indicators and a decision would be made
in the coming months. The SPCA is now asking where
are these indicators and what are they measuring?
Independent reports into the welfare of dogs over the
last 10 years have a l reported significant issues on and
off the track.

animal welfare organisation accepts some uses of
animals by humans provided their physical, health and
behavioural needs are met.
While SPCA has tried for years to work with the
greyhound industry to improve greyhound welfare,
the organisation says the industry has been unable to
adequately address its animal welfare problems.
The animal welfare group believes it is clear the
greyhound industry cannot meet its animal welfare
obligations and is no longer acceptable in New Zealand
society. A recent survey carried out by an independent
research company on behalf of SPCA reports that
74% of New Zealanders would vote to ban greyhound
racing in a referendum.

desirable to be working is the
garden.
However, there are hidden
dangers and one of those is
developing legionnaires’ disease.
Here are some guidelines to
avoid that happening
•Minimise the amount of dust
present when working in the
garden.
• Water gardens and indoor
plants using a gentle spray.
• Read the warning label on
bagged composts or po ting mix.
• Wear gloves.
• Wear a mask so that any dust
is filtered out before you can
breathe it in.
• Dampen po ting mixes before
use.
• Open bags of soil products
slowly, away from the face.
• Make sure the working area
(for example, the glasshouse or
po ting shed) is we l ventilated.
• See a doctor if you develop a
flu-like i lness that seems to be
worsening.
• Wash hands thoroughly
after gardening or handling soil
products.
These are simple, easy and
natural steps that a l gardeners
can take to reduce risk while
continuing to enjoy their garden.

Property Market Update
with Property Brokers in Rolleston
Selwyn Spring Lifestyle Overview
Selwyn has a lot to offer, with
a blend of rural charm and
modern amenities for people
wanting the best of both worlds.
For those looking to make a
change, now might be the time
to buy a lifestyle property.
Spring is when more lifestyle
properties are coming onto
the market. Interest is coming
from buyers from the North
Island and people considering
moving to this lifestyle. Angela
Hunt from Property Brokers in
Rolleston confirms that wellpresented
and tidy properties
valued under $1.2 million
are fetching premium prices.
Sheds on the land are a popular
feature, and generally, people
are looking for newer properties
that are set up and ready to go.
Buyers are also wanting the
house modernised and ready
to live in. Angela states, “People
want to move in and enjoy.”
Presentation of your property
for sale is key. Angela advises,
‘People are going through
showhomes, and that sets the
benchmark.” Get your home
“showhome” ready, including
ensuring the land is tidy. Get rid
of the rubbish lying around or
tidy it up so that your home is
presented at its best to meet the
buyer’s expectations.
Properties in Lincoln,
Broadfields, West Melton and
Springston are always popular
due to their location and being
close to amenities. However,
further out, properties may be
older homes at a lower price.
Angela confirms, “Different
lifestyle properties hold different
values.” Properties under $1.2
million are finding willing
buyers, whereas properties
valued at $1.4 million may be
more challenging. The current
higher interest rates and
larger repayments are also a
consideration for buyers.
If you want to be in your
lifestyle property by Christmas,
enjoying a quiet retreat or the
busyness of farming, now is the
time to buy. Selwyn’s myriad
lifestyle property options
provide the perfect place to turn
your aspirations into reality.
