Solar farm could power<br />

about 11,000 homes<br />

• By Daniel Alvey<br />

THE GREEN LIGHT has been<br />

given to build a 111ha solar farm<br />

near Leeston.<br />

The project has faced strong<br />

opposition from nearby residents<br />

who claimed it could cause<br />

environmental harm to the soil.<br />

Developer KeaX has been granted<br />

resource consent for the solar farm<br />

after its first attempt was declined in<br />

March last year for not meeting the<br />

standard to pass the highly productive<br />

land requirement.<br />

KeaX, which is based in Leeston,<br />

is likely to start building the 111ha<br />

farm off Buckleys Rd and Branch<br />

Drain Rd within the next 12 months.<br />

Managing director Campbell<br />

McMath said the solar array will<br />

produce enough electricity to power<br />

about 11,000 of the district’s 29,900<br />

homes.<br />

It will have about 140,000 tracking<br />

solar panels, which follow the sun<br />

as it moves across the sky, capable<br />

of generating up to 50 megawatts<br />

of AC power and 75 megawatts of<br />

DC power. Excess electricity would<br />

be fed back into the grid via the<br />

Brookside substation.<br />

Hearing commissioner Matt<br />

Bonis said the project has now met<br />

all requirements to get resource<br />

consent. •Turn to page 5<br />

• By Daniel Alvey<br />

A RECORD number of people<br />

have had their say on the<br />

council’s 10-year plan as large<br />

rates rises loom.<br />

More than 1500 residents and<br />

organisations submitted over<br />

the past month on the draft<br />

<strong>2024</strong>-34 Long Term Plan (LTP),<br />

more than double the number<br />

of submissions made on the last<br />

LTP three years ago (660).<br />

The high number of<br />

submissions came after the<br />

council proposed an average<br />

rates rise of 15.6 per cent for this<br />

year and three double-digit rises<br />

over the next three years with<br />

the average rates bill pass $7000<br />

by 2034.<br />

Councillors will hold hearings<br />

over the next two weeks with<br />

200 people due to speak to their<br />

submissions from Friday.<br />

Councillors will debate the<br />

submissions and make changes<br />

to the plan from <strong>May</strong> 22-24<br />

before the final LTP is adopted<br />

on July 3.<br />

As part of submissions,<br />

residents were asked to have<br />

a say on three big decisions:<br />

Public transport; Waihora<br />

Whata Rau – Leeston’s new<br />

library, service centre and<br />

community facility and<br />

upgrades to Leeston Park; and a<br />

new sports and recreation centre<br />

proposed for Darfield.<br />

<strong>May</strong>or Sam Broughton<br />

thanked everyone who<br />

submitted and said they will<br />

considered as part of the final<br />

plan.<br />

“This turnout shows that our<br />

community is committed to<br />

making their mark on our next<br />

10 years,” Broughton said.<br />

“We have some tough<br />

decisions before us, and every<br />

piece of feedback will help shape<br />

what goes into our final plan.”<br />

Those decisions include<br />

whether councillors will cut<br />

projects or services to reduce the<br />

Record feedback on 10-year plan<br />

rates rise. In its budget, council<br />

is planning to spend about $1.5<br />

billion over the next 10 years on<br />

capital works projects.<br />

Submissions closed on<br />

Thursday, a day after councillors<br />

were briefed by council’s<br />

executive director infrastructure<br />

and property, Tim Mason, on<br />

the savings found.<br />

He said council staff have<br />

identified about $45 million in<br />

savings from the capital projects<br />

budget.<br />

“We have a large and complex<br />

programme of work and I’m<br />

pleased that we have identified<br />

around $45 million in potential<br />

cost savings, including $15m of<br />

savings in the potential carry<br />

over projects in the list provided<br />

at Wednesday’s workshop.”<br />

Mason said the carry over<br />

projects are those<br />

which had been<br />

rolled forward<br />

from one financial<br />

year to the<br />

next. A number<br />

of projects had<br />

been rolled over<br />

due to not being<br />

Tim Mason<br />

a priority.<br />

Mason said the $45 million<br />

in potential savings will have<br />

little impact on rates as the work<br />

is loan-funded and only the<br />

interest component is covered<br />

by rates.<br />

In its original draft, it was<br />

going to breach its 220 per<br />

cent debt ceiling in year four<br />

of the LTP. Mason said it has<br />

now adjusted the timing of<br />

projects to ensure it has a more<br />

manageable level of debt.<br />

At the same time,<br />

229 submissions were<br />

received on the new ward<br />

structure, names and future of<br />

community boards as part of<br />

the representation review, which<br />

will be collated and considered<br />

by the representation review<br />

committee later this year.<br />

Student’s astronaut dreams a step<br />

• By Daniel Alvey<br />

WHEN AMBER Collishaw was<br />

a young girl, she used to look at<br />

the stars and dream of one day<br />

becoming an astronaut.<br />

In July, the 17-year-old will be<br />

a step closer to her goal when<br />

she spends two weeks at the<br />

United Space School in Houston,<br />

Texas.<br />

She will be one of 48 people<br />

globally selected to participate<br />

in a range of activities, including<br />

planning a simulated mission<br />

to Mars.<br />

Amber, who lives in Rolleston,<br />

has always loved space and<br />

would spend time in her backyard<br />

gazing at the stars.<br />

“I used to go camping out in<br />

the garden and look up at the<br />

sky,” she said.<br />

With her sister Hazel, they<br />

built a telescope out of toilet<br />

rolls, which later got upgraded<br />

to a real telescope.<br />

“We used to look up at the<br />

stars and occasionally we’d find<br />

planets . . . Mars was quite a<br />

big one, always look for the red<br />

planet.”<br />

At the space school Amber<br />

will take part in planning a simulated<br />

mission to Mars and will<br />

connect via a video link with<br />

astronauts on the International<br />

Space Station, which is orbiting<br />

the Earth.<br />

‘I’d always imagine what’s<br />

actually beyond what we<br />

can see out there, definitely<br />

always dreamed of getting<br />

up there one day’<br />

– Amber Collishaw<br />

STARGAZING: Amber Collishaw used to look at the night sky and dream of exploring<br />

space. The 17-year-old plans to study engineering at university and hopes to take flying<br />

lessons. She’s pictured in front of a Sea Sprite helicopter at the Auckland Air Force base.<br />

Amber plans to study engineering<br />

at Canterbury University<br />

and is also aiming to take<br />

flying lessons.<br />

“I’d always imagine what’s actually<br />

beyond what we can see out<br />

there. I definitely always dreamed<br />

of getting up there one day.”<br />

When she was nine, while<br />

travelling with her parents to<br />

an Irish dancing competition,<br />

she got the chance to visit Nasa’s<br />

Kennedy Space Center at Cape<br />

Canaveral, Florida.<br />

“That was when my parents<br />

noticed I was really interested in<br />

PHOTO: GETTY<br />

everything there.”<br />

As part of the space school<br />

application, Amber had to<br />

write two essays – one about<br />

space travel and the other a<br />

personal profile. She then had<br />

an interview with a panel of<br />

Nasa staff.<br />

Resident ‘gutted’ with<br />

solar farm decision<br />

•From page 1<br />

Said Bonis: “I have concluded<br />

that the actual and potential effects<br />

on the environment associated<br />

with the proposal, subject to<br />

conditions being met, will be no<br />

more than minor.”<br />

A petition earlier this year<br />

indicated about 100 residents were<br />

opposed to the application, but<br />

only eight could submit against it<br />

because it was a limited notified<br />

resource consent, meaning only<br />

people directly affected could<br />

make submissions.<br />

Resident Wendy Thomson,<br />

who could not make a submission<br />

opposing the solar farm, said the<br />

decision to grant the consent was<br />

“heartbreaking”.<br />

“I’m gutted it’s gone ahead. I’m<br />

really unhappy about the decision<br />

and we’re all heartbroken.”<br />

At the hearing in March,<br />

resident Ray Henderson argued<br />

the solar panels would leach metals<br />

into the soil.<br />

But Bonis said Henderson’s data<br />

was “misleading” and disregarded<br />

it when making his decision.<br />

McMath said the land on which<br />

the solar array will be built would<br />

still be used to graze animals. He<br />

said projects like this also provide<br />

a “stable” income for farmers who<br />

lease out their land.<br />

“It’s great to see the co-existence<br />

of agriculture and renewable<br />

(energy) generation,” McMath<br />

said.<br />

“We are leasing the land from<br />

the farmer. The farmer brings in<br />

a stable income (from the lease)<br />

so doesn’t need to worry about<br />

fluctuation in dairy or crop<br />

pricing.”

Wednesday <strong>May</strong> 8 <strong>2024</strong> <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong><br />

• By Daniel Alvey<br />

ONE OF the largest sports clubs<br />

in the district says the council<br />

has forgotten about it.<br />

In the 2021-31 Long Term<br />

Plan, the council committed<br />

to a feasibility study into a new<br />

facility for Affinity Gymnastics<br />

in Rolleston but it was never<br />

done.<br />

Said Affinity president Ryan<br />

Jones: “They have done more<br />

than forgotten<br />

us, they’ve<br />

blatantly ignored<br />

us.<br />

“The council<br />

committed to<br />

investigate the<br />

feasibility of a<br />

new building,<br />

but it seems they<br />

had a change of<br />

mind before it even got off the<br />

ground.”<br />

Jones received an apology<br />

from <strong>May</strong>or Sam Broughton and<br />

council chief executive Sharon<br />

Mason when he met with them to<br />

discuss the planned new facility.<br />

Mason told <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> the<br />

gymnastics club slipped through<br />

the cracks.<br />

“We’ve acknowledged that in<br />

the previous LTP, a commitment<br />

was made. And to be fair with<br />

the restructure and the change<br />

of personnel, it fell through a<br />

crack, and we’ve owned it and<br />

apologised for that,” Mason said.<br />

Jones said Affinity never<br />

wanted a “free building”.<br />

“I’ve always maintained to<br />

council that if we were lucky<br />

enough to be given access to a<br />

purpose-built facility, we’d pay a<br />

commercial rent.”<br />

NO SPACE: Affinity Gymnastics currently rents out a<br />

commercial building on Detroit Drive in Rolleston.<br />

$160,000 a year to rent a<br />

commercial building on Detroit<br />

Drive in Rolleston, which Jones<br />

claims is not fit for purpose.<br />

“It’s cold in the winter, it gets<br />

wet inside, the equipment gets<br />

damaged and presents a danger<br />

and risk to the kids because the<br />

bars can be wet, but we’re stuck<br />

because there is nowhere else to<br />

go.”<br />

Affinity, which has been<br />

operating for six years, is<br />

the second largest sport and<br />

recreation club in the district.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> United is the only<br />

club with more members than<br />

Affinity. Jones said Affinity’s<br />

membership fluctuates between<br />

600 and 700.<br />

Jones said the club will<br />

consider building its own facility<br />

if the council offered some<br />

reserve land.<br />

“If we were gifted land by the<br />

council, then I would gratefully<br />

accept that. Then<br />

I would kick<br />

into gear raising<br />

funding.”<br />

Ricmond said the counicl is<br />

open to building and funding a<br />

new facility or providing Affinity<br />

Gymnastics with reserve land to<br />

build a facility.<br />

Jones raised the issue again<br />

in a submission on the <strong>2024</strong>-34<br />

draft LTP, which will go in front<br />

No further<br />

extension<br />

for hut<br />

residents<br />

• By Daniel Alvey<br />

UPPER SELWYN Huts residents<br />

have been denied further<br />

extensions from the council to<br />

consult over their future.<br />

Residents had requested a further<br />

12-month extension to consult<br />

and work with the council on<br />

their new deed of licences, which<br />

will be signed off in August.<br />

About 100 hut owners are fighting<br />

the council over their planned<br />

eviction from the Crown-owned<br />

land by 2039.<br />

Upper <strong>Selwyn</strong> Hut Owners<br />

Association chair Graham Evans<br />

said not receiving the extension<br />

was devastating.<br />

“They’ve (council) obviously put<br />

in a stake in the ground,” Evans<br />

said.<br />

Under the timeline, the residents<br />

have till July 15 to give feedback<br />

on the new deed of licence.<br />

The final licence will be released<br />

on August 7, with the council to<br />

vote on it at its August 14 meeting.<br />

The new licence will be active<br />

from October 1.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> asked the council<br />

what the specific reasons were for<br />

rejecting the extension request but<br />

they did not respond.<br />

SPRINGS WARD councillor<br />

Grant Miller has called for more<br />

reporting from council staff – not<br />

less.<br />

As part of council changes<br />

there may be less reporting back<br />

to councillors about ongoing<br />

projects.<br />

It comes at a time when the<br />

council is about to attempt<br />

one of its largest capital works<br />

programmes, with almost $1.5<br />

billion of planned<br />

spending over<br />

the next 10 years<br />

and $150 million<br />

in the next 12<br />

months.<br />

<strong>May</strong>or Sam<br />

Broughton said<br />

councillors should<br />

be able to approve<br />

a project and not<br />

Sam<br />

Broughton<br />

need updates on it until it has<br />

been completed.<br />

“If something was agreed to in<br />

a long term or annual plan, the<br />

only time we’d see it again would<br />

be if there was a major hiccup,”<br />

Broughton said at the briefing.<br />

He added that there may still<br />

be a need to inform local ward<br />

councillors of a project’s start.<br />

Miller said he wanted more<br />

reporting, not less, until he can<br />

build trust in council staff.<br />

“One of our jobs as governors<br />

is to hold to account and I’m<br />

personally struggling with a lack<br />

of confidence in the ability to<br />

deliver,” Miller said.<br />

“If I had absolute confidence<br />

the projects I approve here can<br />

be delivered on time, on budget,<br />

to appropriate standard and time<br />

frame, I’d go ‘sure, delegate away’,<br />

but as a governor I haven’t got that<br />

confidence at the moment.<br />

“So to me, I’m about tightening<br />

the delegations up, and getting<br />

more reporting back to us about<br />

these projects because there’s<br />

Call for more council oversight of projects<br />

CLOSED: The intersection with Perymans Rd and State Highway 75 in Tai Tapu was closed<br />

and the remainder of the road was chip sealed.<br />

a whole list of<br />

projects which<br />

haven’t gone well.”<br />

Miller cited<br />

two examples<br />

– the Darfield<br />

and Kirwee to<br />

Pines wastewater<br />

pipeline and the Grant<br />

Perymans Rd Miller<br />

chip sealing and<br />

closure in Tai Tapu, which was<br />

completed last month.<br />

While council said the<br />

pipeline was completed on<br />

time and within budget,<br />

Miller said this was because<br />

the council kept increasing the<br />

budget.<br />

“The Malvern pipeline went<br />

horrendously over budget (and)<br />

was poorly managed.<br />

“In fact, our consultants missed<br />

out critical pieces of infrastructure<br />

in the original design which we<br />

had to pick up the cost of.’’<br />

Miller said sealing Perymans<br />

Rd for dust reasons and then<br />

closing the intersection to traffic<br />

did not make sense.<br />

“So two decisions put<br />

together have resulted in a road<br />

being sealed, which is now closed,<br />

which has one resident on it.<br />

$375,000 of spending – great for<br />

one resident, their own sealed<br />

driveway.”<br />

In a response to Miller,<br />

Broughton said it was up<br />

to councillors to trust<br />

staff, otherwise they will not<br />

improve.<br />

“If we have not been good at<br />

trusting staff and delegating<br />

to them then we’ve created a<br />

culture where every decision has<br />

come to us so staff haven’t had<br />

the opportunity to develop that<br />

decision-making because we’ve<br />

always said just come back and<br />

ask us,” he said.<br />

While Miller agreed with<br />

Broughton, and said staff were<br />

doing a good job, he said it should<br />

be a process that happens slowly<br />

and over time.<br />

“I see ourselves as the<br />

benevolent parents here who<br />

keep a watchful eye over the very<br />

industrious children down there<br />

who work extremely hard for us<br />

and we are very proud of them.<br />

“But when your kids get a<br />

driving licence, you don’t hand<br />

them the keys to your Ferrari on<br />

day one, you give them a nice<br />

Toyota Corolla and you see how<br />

they drive that.”<br />

on track to exceed 5000 by the<br />

end of this year.<br />

“The strong and sustained<br />

growth in our student head<br />

count as well as our graduating<br />

cohort signals Lincoln<br />

University’s increasing influence<br />

in shaping the future of the landbased<br />

sectors in Aotearoa and<br />

globally,” said Edwards.<br />

“Our graduates are equipped<br />

with the knowledge and skills<br />

to contribute direct to industry,<br />

and our employment outcomes<br />

remain high, at 84 per cent.<br />

“Increasingly Lincoln’s<br />

education and research<br />

programmes are leading positive<br />

and impactful change in the<br />

land-based sectors in an era<br />

where all sectors of society are<br />

demanding the application of<br />

The nitrates in our Springston South<br />

well have been rising ever since we moved<br />

here in the mid 90s.<br />

Over the past few years myself and concerned<br />

locals have organised two nitrate<br />

testing days at our local hall.<br />

At the last one in 2022, 43 per cent<br />

of tests were at 5mg/l level or above for<br />

nitrate.<br />

The New Zealand College of Midwives<br />

issued a news release in 2021 with advice<br />

for women about this 5mg/l level: “If<br />

drinking water exceeds this threshold,<br />

pregnant women should consider<br />

accessing an alternative water source . . .”<br />

The NZCM has the health of babies<br />

and their mothers as their top priority, so<br />

their precautionary approach to nitrate<br />

in drinking water is worthy of attention.<br />

It’s not just Greenpeace who is concerned<br />

about it.<br />

- Mike Glover<br />

I read your article about nitrate levels in<br />

the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District (<strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong>, <strong>May</strong><br />

1) and have for many years wondered why<br />

on earth did the various councils and<br />

ECan ever allow dairying on land that’s<br />

more suited for cropping, due to the high<br />

drainage ability of the soil and the need for<br />

very large and regular amounts of water<br />

and nitrates needed to grow grass for the<br />

milking cows. It doesn’t make sense.<br />

LETTERS 13<br />

RESEARCH: Last week <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> reported the district council is looking<br />

to spend $5.3 million over 10 years investigating how to lower nitrates in<br />

water supplies with higher levels. Recent testing showed levels in Darfield<br />

and Kirwee were over 5mg/l, a level Greenpeace found worrying.<br />

Nitrate levels in water,<br />

future of community<br />

board concerning<br />

Secondly, the statement from the<br />

Greenpeace spokesperson regarding the<br />

risks of nitrate levels above 5mg/l and<br />

pre-term births for babies of “pregnant<br />

people”.<br />

I find that term offensive in the fact<br />

there’s ample evidence to show that<br />

biologically only women because of their<br />

physical attributes are designed and have<br />

the ability to become pregnant.<br />

To dismiss the word “women” from<br />

that statement denies what women are<br />

and implies that any person can become<br />

pregnant, which is biologically and<br />

physically untrue.<br />

- Maureen Scott<br />

The Local Government Commissioner<br />

determination of 2016 considering the<br />

future of local community boards was<br />

Malvern Community Board should<br />

continue to exist.<br />

For <strong>Selwyn</strong> District Council to put<br />

out for consideration two redistricting<br />

options, which both exclude community<br />

boards, is a gross abuse of process and a<br />

blatant attempt to ignore a legal decision.<br />

I would suggest the council must<br />

disregard any results from the current<br />

survey and go back to the drawing<br />

board.<br />

LINCOLN HIGH School’s<br />

new principal’s focus will be<br />

on keeping construction on<br />

track.<br />

Adrian Fastier started<br />

last week, replacing Kathy<br />

Paterson who had been at<br />

the school for more than 10<br />

years when she retired at the<br />

end of term one.<br />

Fastier took over the role<br />

at a time when building<br />

projects are front of mind<br />

for many schools, including<br />

Lincoln High.<br />

“It is no secret that the<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> area is growing<br />

quickly, and with many<br />

young families moving to<br />

the area, we need to ensure<br />

that both our building<br />

programme and our school<br />

systems keep developing to<br />

match our growing roll,”<br />

Fastier said.<br />

“As with many schools,<br />

the changing goalposts from<br />

the Ministry of Education<br />

around property has been<br />

challenging for Lincoln<br />

High School. However,<br />

recent meetings with the<br />

ministry about our property<br />

development have been<br />

Projects, people front of<br />

mind for new principal<br />

very positive.”<br />

Building upgrades at the<br />

school include new science<br />

blocks, administration<br />

blocks, and classrooms.<br />

Fastier has been in teaching<br />

in secondary education<br />

for 19 years, with the last five<br />

years as deputy principal at<br />

Cashmere High School. He<br />

began his career teaching<br />

physical education and outdoor<br />

education.<br />

“It has been great to see<br />

both the purposeful learning<br />

environment created by<br />

our staff and the friendly<br />

atmosphere amongst the<br />

students.”<br />

NEW FACE:<br />

Lincoln<br />

School’s<br />

new<br />

principal<br />

Adrian<br />

Fastier<br />

started<br />

last week<br />

replacing<br />

Kathy<br />

Paterson. ​<br />

He said he chose Lincoln<br />

due to its strong community.<br />

“Lincoln High School has<br />

a strong connection with the<br />

local community and there is<br />

a strong sense of community<br />

in both Lincoln and the surrounding<br />

areas,” said Fastier,<br />

adding the high school has a<br />

strong emphasis on quality<br />

teaching and learning.<br />

Fastier said his priority<br />

before making any changes<br />

was to get to know people.<br />

ECan chair<br />

steps aside<br />

• By David Hill<br />

ENVIRONMENT Canterbury’s<br />

chairperson has stood down<br />

pending an investigation<br />

following recent media comments<br />

about his farming activity.<br />

In a statement,<br />

the regional<br />

council said Peter<br />

Scott had decided<br />

to step aside while<br />

the investigation<br />

was carried out.<br />

Deputy<br />

chairperson Craig<br />

Pauling will be<br />

acting chairperson.<br />

Peter Scott<br />

During a recent interview with<br />

Newstalk ZB, Scott said two of<br />

his own consent applications for<br />

irrigation had been delayed by<br />

another government agency.<br />

It meant he was operating “illegally’’,<br />

he said.<br />

An ECan spokesperson said the<br />

council was aware of the status of<br />

Scott’s consents.<br />

“Sometimes consent<br />

applications can be delayed when<br />

information is required from<br />

third parties – as is the case here.”<br />

The investigation will be carried<br />

out by an independent external<br />

reviewer. It is expected to take<br />

several weeks.<br />

Unlocking greater success<br />

with business mentoring<br />

16<br />

NEWS<br />

GIDEON BANKS is an accidental<br />

businessperson who is now helping<br />

others take the accidental out of their own<br />

businesses.<br />

In 2003 Gideon Banks was a Zoology<br />

student at university in Nigeria, when<br />

an interest in graphic design led to a gig<br />

designing websites. With the web industry<br />

booming, his side project quickly morphed<br />

into a start-up company of 38 staff, with<br />

Gideon at the helm.<br />

He’s now had an accomplished career<br />

leading teams in the digital marketing<br />

space, but reflecting on those early years,<br />

he acknowledges the importance of<br />

mentoring in helping others navigate their<br />

entrepreneurial path.<br />

“You don’t want to lose opportunities or<br />

spend months or years trying to figure it all<br />

out, when someone has already done it, and<br />

has the formula they could just give you.”<br />

Gideon arrived in New Zealand in<br />

2014 and has lapped up this country’s<br />

entrepreneurial spirit. His experience<br />

managing teams led him to Business<br />

Mentors New Zealand, and he now<br />

regularly mentors small business owners.<br />

Gideon says established business<br />

professionals possess hidden knowledge<br />

they may not be aware of. It’s what he<br />

refers to as “unconscious competence’’. By<br />

mentoring others, they can help unlock<br />

doors for people starting out.<br />

He says the independent spirit of New<br />

Zealanders means we are not always good at<br />

asking for help.<br />

“Kiwis like to build things on their own,<br />

and that’s great. The only thing is you can do<br />

Supplying Growers Since 1981<br />

it much faster and better with some help.”<br />

He says being a mentor also helps his own<br />

personal and professional growth and keeps<br />

him attuned to emerging trends in business.<br />

One of the greatest rewards comes<br />

from identifying quick wins for mentees.<br />

Simple actions like implementing Google<br />

Analytics or understanding search<br />

engine optimisation can yield substantial<br />

improvements in quick time.<br />

While mentors may not have all the<br />

answers, their role is vital in providing<br />

guidance and an avenue for idea<br />

exploration.<br />

“As a mentor you have a sense of<br />

responsibility, and I think that sense of<br />

responsibility is something that helps the<br />

business community as a whole.”<br />

HARFORD DOMESTIC HOME GARDENER RANGE<br />

LESSONS: The <strong>Selwyn</strong> Sports Trust iBike programme teaches children safe<br />

cycling skills, how to ride with confidence and basic road rules.<br />

Sponsors give backing<br />

to cycling programme<br />

TWO COMMUNITY focused sponsors<br />

have jumped on board and become dual<br />

naming rights partners of the <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

Sports Trust iBike programme.<br />

Najib Real Estate and Southbridgebased<br />

vegetable producer, Oakley’s, have<br />

combined to support the continued delivery<br />

and growth of the programme.<br />

Najib managing director Nathan Najib<br />

said it was important to support programmes<br />

and community organisations.<br />

“We know how hard community<br />

organisations work for the betterment of<br />

the community.<br />

“We also know how hard it can be to<br />

raise funds for programmes and events<br />

which are for the greater good, so we<br />

saw the opportunity to partner alongside<br />

Oakley’s and support the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Sports<br />

Trust,” he said.<br />

“We have already started discussions<br />

with the trust to see how we can provide<br />

additional benefits back to the community<br />

over and above our sponsorship.<br />

“One idea we are really excited about<br />

is the establishment of a bike fund to<br />

help those families who might not be in a<br />

position to purchase a bike.<br />

“We’ll be working with the trust on<br />

how to deliver this support.”<br />

Oakley’s chief executive Robin Oakley<br />

saw the difference the programme was<br />

making in the 30 schools across the<br />

region and wanted to ensure it goes from<br />

strength to strength.<br />

“The decision to support this programme<br />

is a no-brainer from Oakley’s<br />

perspective, as we see the huge benefits<br />

of getting young people on bikes in a safe<br />

way that will build their confidence.<br />

“As a local <strong>Selwyn</strong> business growing<br />

produce, health and wellbeing is a huge<br />

focus for us and knowing that young<br />

people will get support to learn to ride<br />

safely, and be active at the same time, is<br />

so important to their development”.<br />

The iBike programme was piloted in<br />

2022 with support from the council and<br />

was officially launched in March.<br />

Trust operations manager Mitch Prendergast<br />

said the success of the cycling<br />

programme comes down to the support<br />

of the community and the delivery team.<br />

“The <strong>Selwyn</strong> Sports Trust is a non-profit<br />

charity whose sole focus is getting the<br />

community active. We simply can’t do<br />

this mahi without the support of partners<br />

like Robin Oakley and Nathan Najib.”<br />

Southbridge take 73min to<br />

• By Sam Coughlan<br />

IF YOU WERE wondering why<br />

a rampaging Southbridge didn’t<br />

score in the last seven minutes<br />

of their match on Saturday – it<br />

was because the referee called the<br />

game off.<br />

It wasn’t for an incident or<br />

unruly spectators, it was simply<br />

because they had already posted<br />

a century of points from 15 tries<br />

and 12 conversions against a<br />

hapless Woodend.<br />

The record books will show a<br />

101-10 win, in which fullback<br />

Boston Horn bagged a hat-trick<br />

of tries.<br />

“We kind of stuck to our game<br />

structure there and got them<br />

out wide and, yeah, it was good,”<br />

Horn said.<br />

“The boys turned up.”<br />

Club bar manager Neville<br />

Carter remembered two previous<br />

instances in which Southbridge<br />

ran up a similarly big score.<br />

“Against Rolleston and Hornby<br />

. . . we had to find a way to<br />

put the third number on the<br />

scoreboard – we didn’t have the<br />

said.<br />

Horn said his three tries were<br />

on the back of a superb team<br />

performance.<br />

“It was just all game plan really.<br />

Foulkes almost didn’t answer the call<br />

• By Sam Coughlan<br />

ZAK FOULKES nearly didn’t<br />

answer the call that would send<br />

him to Pakistan with the Black<br />

Caps.<br />

The 21-year-old was called up<br />

as a replacement after an injury<br />

to fast bowler Adam Milne,<br />

but he was wary of unknown<br />

numbers after a scam call the<br />

previous day.<br />

“I didn’t have Steady (Black<br />

Caps coach Gary Stead)’s number<br />

saved, so I was a bit skeptical<br />

to answer the call, but thankfully<br />

I did.”<br />

The last minute inclusion<br />

meant a mad scramble to get<br />

ready before departure.<br />

“I got the call on the Wednesday,<br />

then I had to rush to Lincoln<br />

(NZC high performance centre)<br />

and get my Pakistan visa, and<br />

then we were on the plane on<br />

Friday.<br />

“So we had a couple of days to<br />

sort everything out.”<br />

Foulkes was given the nod<br />

after an impressive season for<br />

Canterbury, taking 59 wickets in<br />

all formats to be named players’<br />

player of the year.<br />

He managed three<br />

appearances for his home<br />

club, Darfield; coach Shannon<br />

McAleer said he even paid his<br />

subs for the season.<br />

“I love my club here at Darfield<br />

OVERSEAS PRO: Zak Foulkes (left) with Lytham captain<br />

Matt Taaffe before his debut for the club. ​<br />

and I’ve got a good group of<br />

mates which I’ve grown up with<br />

there,” Foulkes said.<br />

“It’s a bit niggly with our<br />

schedules, but I try help out<br />

where I can.”<br />

Foulkes grew up in a cricketmad<br />

family, where his father<br />

Glen played for Canterbury<br />

Country, and brothers Liam and<br />

Robbie have represented both<br />

Darfield and Country.<br />

“Obviously a few backyard battles,”<br />

he said.<br />

Telling them he’d made the<br />

Black Caps was a special moment.<br />

“I don’t think he (Glen)<br />

stopped smiling until I left really,<br />

so it was pretty cool, they’re<br />

obviously ecstatic for me.”<br />

He said he was happy with his<br />

performances on tour, where<br />

it took until his last over in his<br />

second and final match to take a<br />

wicket.<br />

“It was a long time coming,<br />

just cool to get it under my belt.”<br />

Foulkes hasn’t spoken to the<br />

Black Caps selectors about where<br />

he sits ahead of the winter.<br />

“I’m sure stuff like that might<br />

come, but I’m pretty happy with<br />

where I’m sitting at the moment,”<br />

he said.<br />

Right now he’s in England<br />

until September playing<br />

for Lytham as an overseas<br />

professional in the Liverpool and<br />

District competition.<br />

“Fults (Canterbury coach Peter<br />

Fulton) actually played here a<br />

few years ago,” he said.<br />

“So he put me on to the club,<br />

and then went from there.<br />

“Really different to New<br />

Zealand, but it’s a really cool<br />

experience, just soaking it all in.”<br />

Family ties come first as sisters vie<br />

• By Sam Coughlan<br />

FINALISTS: Kirsty McCarthy-Dempsey (above) and her sister Jody are both finalists in the Athletics Canterbury interclub<br />

female field award. Right – Jody, in 2022, after winning the New Zealand Secondary Schools junior girls’ long jump<br />

competition when competing for Darfield High. ​<br />

SISTERS KIRSTY and Jody<br />

McCarthy-Dempsey are used<br />

to competing against each<br />

other on the sports field. But on<br />

Friday they will be competing<br />

for a top accolade at Athletics<br />

Canterbury’s awards night.<br />

Kirsty McCarthy-Dempsey, 18,<br />

and her sister Jody, 17, are finalists<br />

in the interclub female field<br />

athlete award after their performances<br />

for <strong>Selwyn</strong> Athletic this<br />

season.<br />

They are among eight athletes<br />

from the club who are finalists<br />

for awards.<br />

Jody, a heptathlete, is also a<br />

finalist for hurdler of the year<br />

and combined events athlete of<br />

the year.<br />

Despite both athletes favouring<br />

similar events, there’s no<br />

sense of sibling rivalry.<br />

“Even if one of us got (the<br />

award) and the other one didn’t,<br />

we’ll still support each other no<br />

matter what,” Jody said.<br />

She said it meant a lot to be a<br />

finalist.<br />

“It feels pretty good to have<br />

people behind you back you<br />

and know how far you’ve come<br />

through the journey of your<br />

athletics.”<br />

Kirsty, who competes in discus,<br />

shot put, javelin and hammer<br />

throw, said the nomination<br />

was a surprise.<br />

“It’s actually quite shocking to<br />

be honest. I didn’t really expect it.”<br />

The sisters, from Sandy Knolls,<br />

have participated in athletics<br />

together for the last nine years.<br />

Kirsty said they have always<br />

been inseparable.<br />

“With her being my younger<br />

PHOTO: PODIUM<br />

PHOTOGRAPHY<br />

sister, we just always got<br />

along, no matter what. We’ve<br />

done netball together in the<br />

wintertime, in the same club,<br />

same team for so many years,<br />

we’ve done athletics – we’ve<br />

just done basically everything<br />

together.<br />

awards – finalists from<br />

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

Jody was recently selected<br />

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

netball under-18 team, and<br />

Kirsty is also a decorated<br />

gumboot thrower.<br />

She won the South Island<br />

competition last year and took<br />

part in the Rural Games in<br />

Palmerston North in March,<br />

and said it’s a lot of fun.<br />

“I was telling my friends<br />

about it, I was like, ‘oh yeah, I<br />

actually went up to Palmerston<br />

North just to throw a<br />

gumboot’.<br />

“They’re like, ‘what? Just for<br />

throwing a gumboot?’ I’m like,<br />

‘yeah, I didn’t realise it either<br />

until I actually did it’.”<br />

Kirsty paid tribute to her<br />

younger sister’s dedication.<br />

“It’s a huge accomplishment<br />

(to be nominated) and with the<br />

throwing (javelin and shot put)<br />

that Jody’s done, she’s thrown<br />

like some big metres as well,<br />

like even further than me.<br />

“And she’s done that much<br />

training and I’ve seen it<br />

and I’ve helped to coach her<br />

through and I can see how<br />

much hard work she’s put into<br />

it.”<br />

Young driver makes<br />

tracks from US to<br />

Europe race circuit<br />

WHEELS: Jacob Douglas has bought a lawnmower and<br />

started a property maintenance business to help fund his<br />

racing career.<br />

• By Daniel Alvey<br />

JACOB DOUGLAS has switched<br />

from racing in the United States<br />

to Europe for the remainder of<br />

the year.<br />

The Lincoln 18-year-old<br />

is set to start his first race at<br />

Zandvoort, near Amsterdam, in<br />

mid-July.<br />

Douglas will drive for Chris<br />

Dittmann Racing in the<br />

final four rounds of the GB3<br />

championship, which is held<br />

across England and Europe.<br />

He competed in the USF 2000<br />

championship with Pabst Racing<br />

last year with the goal of moving<br />

up to the <strong>2024</strong> USF Pro 2000<br />

championship as part of the road<br />

to IndyCar but he was not able to<br />

secure a seat with the team.<br />

Douglas hopes to return to the<br />

US next year.<br />

“We’re doing GB3 as a<br />

development year to go abroad<br />

from America and gain some<br />

experience in different tracks<br />

and cars and take that back to<br />

USF Pro next year,” Douglas<br />

said.<br />

“We’re there to do the best we<br />

can.<br />

“We certainly want to be up at<br />

the sharp-end.”<br />

Instead of living in the US<br />

full-time, Douglas will now<br />

travel between New Zealand and<br />

Europe for races.<br />

To help fund his campaign,<br />

he has started a property<br />

maintenance business in<br />

Lincoln.<br />

“I couldn’t get a job anywhere<br />

because I’m always away, so I<br />

bought a lawnmower and have<br />

been painting fences,” Douglas<br />

said.<br />

He will race against<br />

Christchurch driver Louis Sharp<br />

in GB3. Sharp currently leads the<br />

championship.<br />

Douglas has been doing<br />

simulator work in the lead up to<br />

his first race weekend.<br />

Booming industrial business park<br />

IPORT in final stage of development<br />

The final stage of Rolleston’s IPORT development is now up for grabs and is the last opportunity for<br />

small operators to buy prime commercial and industrial land in the high-growth industrial area.<br />

23 sections in Stage 13 are for sale, sized from 1,150sqm to 4.9 hectares with prices starting from $495,000.<br />

IPORT is a 150-hectare master<br />

planned business park in one of the<br />

largest industrial areas in the country.<br />

Unique to the development is its<br />

shared boundary with Lyttelton Port<br />

Company’s inland port, Midland Port<br />

– New Zealand’s largest inland port.<br />

It’s also adjacent to the 180-hectare<br />

Izone southern business hub and<br />

together the two have fuelled record<br />

growth in Canterbury and the wider<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> region.<br />

Since IPORT opened in 2017,<br />

Rolleston has become a key<br />

transport hub for not only Canterbury,<br />

but the entire South Island.<br />

“About 92% of Canterbury’s<br />

exports transit through Rolleston,<br />

so it’s the natural axis for road<br />

connections west, south, and north<br />

of Christchurch, and rail to the West<br />

Coast, south, and north,” says IPORT<br />

director Tim Carter of the Carter<br />

Group.<br />

“The main attraction is its prime<br />

location in one of Canterbury’s fastest<br />

growing districts and <strong>Selwyn</strong> District<br />

Council commercial rates are one<br />

tenth of the price of equivalent sites in<br />

Christchurch City.<br />

“Our final development stage is<br />

mainly small lots, which is a great<br />

opportunity for smaller businesses<br />

or developers to get their foot in the<br />

door and take advantage of being<br />

located in a large-scale business<br />

park.”<br />

Lisa Fleck was one of the first to<br />

take the plunge when her business,<br />

Jones Road Auto, bought into IPORT<br />

in 2018. Lisa and her husband Nigel<br />

have had their auto repair business<br />

since 2012 and were previously<br />

leasing a much smaller workshop in<br />

nearby Rolleston before they decided<br />

to take a risk and build their own.<br />

“It was a huge challenge for us<br />

to shift from leasing a premises to<br />

owning our own building. It was a<br />

little bit terrifying as a ‘mom-andpop’<br />

business,” says Lisa.<br />

“Being here at IPORT has given us<br />

fantastic profile. It’s a great place<br />

to be in business and we have just<br />

grown and grown.”<br />

Before Jones Road Auto moved into<br />

IPORT it had five staff and now the<br />

team has grown to more than 20. The<br />

business has even run out of room<br />

in the current premises and have<br />

recently invested in two more sites to<br />

expand the business.<br />

“Carter Group has been fantastic<br />

to work with – the team were really<br />

supportive and helpful in getting us<br />

into those extra two sites at IPORT,”<br />

says Lisa.<br />

“Getting that foot in the door<br />

changes you from being a little mum<br />

and dad business where you work<br />

really hard until the day you die, to<br />

actually building a commercial legacy<br />

and a future.<br />

“We’re in a totally different position<br />

now by taking that risk and it’s been<br />

a thousand percent worth it for us.”<br />

For Jim Burnard from Construct It,<br />

the main appeal of IPORT was the<br />

availability of small industrial sites<br />

and he says there’s a lot of demand<br />

in Canterbury.<br />

“I get calls all the time from clients<br />

who want land that isn’t actually<br />

available in Christchurch, which is<br />

quite surprising,” says Jim. “We have<br />

so little commercial and industrial<br />

land despite being a flat city, and<br />

a lot of the smaller block sizes just<br />

aren't available.<br />

“I really appreciate the fact that<br />

IPORT has listened and that they<br />

have developed a good mix of<br />

section sizes – it’s much needed.”<br />

Construct It is a design and build<br />

commercial construction company<br />

specialising in concrete. Jim bought<br />

into IPORT early last year and after<br />

recently finishing his first build,<br />

he has already purchased more<br />

sections for his own business and<br />

has a number of future builds either<br />

planned or underway on behalf of<br />

clients.<br />

“We're a commercial builder and<br />

this district is where the commercial<br />

growth is going to be in the next 10<br />

to 20 years, so it made a lot of sense<br />

to make sure we were established in<br />

IPORT sooner rather than later.”<br />

Jim has previously built mainly on<br />

the north side of Christchurch and<br />

says he’s had numerous problems<br />

with construction and geo-technical<br />

issues.<br />

“The ground was always a problem<br />

once you started to dig, but Rolleston<br />

doesn't have any of that,” says Jim.<br />

“The whole process is great – Carter<br />

Group are easy to deal with and it<br />

just runs really smoothly.”<br />

GARDENING<br />

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

Time to assess your garden’s limits<br />

Autumn is a good time<br />

to assess the limitations<br />

of your garden, in<br />

preparation for winter<br />

Vegetables<br />

Some questions to consider<br />

are whether the climate during<br />

summer suited outdoor<br />

tomatoes, runner beans or<br />

onions, and whether winter<br />

greens were planted at the right<br />

time.<br />

Something to consider is improving<br />

the vegetable gardens by<br />

having raised beds. Not only do<br />

raised beds ensure better drainage<br />

and increased soil warmth,<br />

they also enable the gardener to<br />

add a layer of clean soil and/or<br />

compost each year to improve<br />

productivity.<br />

To protect the vegetable plot<br />

from wind, make a shelter from<br />

manuka scrub, pine branches or<br />

commercial wind-break netting.<br />

If you have hedges, trim<br />

them now to remain tidy for<br />

the next six months. Do not cut<br />

those from conifer and cypress<br />

families too severely, or whole<br />

sections will die back.<br />

This is the time to clean up<br />

garden rubbish. Destroy any<br />

diseased material, then compost<br />

the remainder at home or at a<br />

community green-waste depot.<br />

Vacant ground can now be dug<br />

REPLENISH: Remove all rhubarb stems and leaves – if you haven’t already – and apply a<br />

mulch of manure or compost.<br />

PHOTO: GETTY<br />

over and lime can be applied at<br />

the rate of 100g per sqm.<br />

Laundry powder scoops make<br />

a good measure for lime and<br />

other fertilisers. Alternatively,<br />

sow empty plots with a green<br />

manure, lupins, oats or barley for<br />

digging in during October.<br />

If you have not done so, remove<br />

all stems, leaves and weeds<br />

from rhubarb and apply a mulch<br />

of stable manure, cow manure or<br />

compost. Blood and bone lightly<br />

forked in is also useful.<br />

Where winter vegetables are<br />

growing, control weeds by hoeing<br />

the ground as often as soil<br />

conditions allow. This also helps<br />

control excess moisture in the<br />

soil and lets oxygen penetrate the<br />

upper levels, where minute life<br />

forms convert organic material<br />

into plant foods.<br />

Flowers<br />

Prepare areas for new plantings<br />

before the soil becomes<br />

sodden with winter rain. Fresh<br />

cow manure can be added to<br />

retain moisture in light, sandy<br />

soils, while stable manure containing<br />

sawdust or straw, or a<br />

rich garden compost, is best for<br />

heavy clays. Mix lime into the<br />

topsoil, but avoid mixing it with<br />

the manure.<br />

Perennial plants that have<br />

grown into large clumps can be<br />

lifted, divided and replanted in<br />

ground enriched with compost<br />

or well-rotted manure. Hollyhocks,<br />

lupins, delphiniums<br />

and red hot pokers (Kniphofia)<br />

look good as the back row<br />

in a perennial border, while<br />

asiatic lilies, japanese anemone<br />

(Anemone hupehensis, A. vitifolium<br />

and A. tomentosa), phloxes,<br />

paeonies, gaillardia, chrysanthemum<br />

and michaelmas daisies<br />

look good in front of them.<br />

Dianthus, lower-growing<br />

bright annuals, polyanthus,<br />

violas and bedding geraniums<br />

can be used in the front. Alternatively,<br />

catmint (Nepeta) or<br />

ladys mantle (Alchemilla mollis)<br />

are good perennial choices if a<br />

single-colour edging is wanted.<br />

Fruit<br />

In the glasshouse, remove most<br />

of the leaves from tomato plants<br />

to divert plant foods up from the<br />

roots into the fruit.<br />

Alternatively, cut off a portion<br />

of stem with the fruit attached and<br />

hang in a warm place to ripen.<br />

Plants can be pulled up to<br />

give the soil a rest. Mustard or<br />

oat seeds can be sown in the<br />

greenhouse and dug in later.<br />

Book a service with<br />

Rolleston Diesel & Petrols<br />

With times being tough, people<br />

look for ways to make their dollar go<br />

further. It might be tempting not to<br />

book your car for a service, but this<br />

is one area where it doesn’t pay to cut<br />

costs. Be proactive and budget for this<br />

vital checkup, and if your vehicle is<br />

approaching its next scheduled service,<br />

don’t put it off. Book your car for a prewinter<br />

check with Rolleston Diesel &<br />

Petrols at 839 Jones Road, Rolleston, to<br />

help prevent breakdowns and keep you<br />

safe on the road.<br />

Your car’s service is the opportunity<br />

to check that everything is operating<br />

optimally. Missing a service can mean<br />

more minor issues could have been<br />

picked up and dealt with before they<br />

become more extensive. The team<br />

at Rolleston Diesel & Petrols has the<br />

expertise and experience to ensure<br />

your petrol or diesel vehicle is running<br />

at its best.<br />

Through years of experience, it has<br />

been proven that using quality parts<br />

rather than cheaper ones is the best<br />

option. With high-quality work from<br />

staff who take pride in their work,<br />

customers can be confident they will<br />

get a great outcome. Simon, from<br />

Rolleston Diesel & Petrols, confirms,<br />

“It may come at a higher price, but the<br />

people who adopt our advice are the<br />

ones who don’t have problems with<br />

their cars.” He advises these vehicles<br />

go from service to service without any<br />

issues. The number of repeat customers<br />

also backs up the well-deserved<br />

reputation for their high standard of<br />

work, and Simon advises, “A lot of<br />

people have been coming to us since<br />

we started.”<br />

To ensure smooth, worry-free<br />

journeys, visit Simon and the<br />

Rolleston Diesel & Petrols team at<br />

839 Jones Road, Rolleston, who have<br />

the skills and knowledge to diagnose,<br />

repair, and maintain vehicles<br />

effectively. They are open Monday<br />

to Friday, 7.30am to 5pm. Bookings<br />

are essential, so call (03) 347 7110 to<br />

book a service or arrange a repair.<br />

An exam centre’s smooth and successful running is essential for all students participating<br />

in these examinations. With this in mind, Rolleston College seeks an Examination Centre<br />

Manager to run the NCEA and NZ Scholarship examinations <strong>2024</strong>.<br />

The Examination Centre Manager (ECM) is responsible to the New Zealand Qualifications<br />

Authority (NZQA) for the conduct of the NZQA examinations held in November / December<br />

each year. As ECM, you will be responsible for managing all processes relating to<br />

conducting secondary examinations according to NZQA procedures, including employing<br />

sufficient supervisors to ensure reliable supervision while efficiently using the minimum<br />

number of supervisors.<br />

Upon appointment, all ECMs must complete an online training programme and attend a<br />

one-day training session with NZQA in August. This will allow you to plan and complete<br />

several administrative tasks to prepare for the exams from August and October. You must<br />

be fully available to work for the entire exam period between November 5th to November<br />

29th. As such, the role requires a high level of organisational skills with great attention to<br />

detail, strength in following processes precisely, confidence in leading people of all ages,<br />

and proficiency in using a computer and learning to use new computer programmes are<br />

essential qualities for this role.<br />

times of whānau stress or crisis. On<br />

average just 17 of these beds are filled<br />

due to resourcing constraints.<br />

Cholmondeley Children’s Centre provides<br />

short term emergency or planned respite care<br />

for tamariki when they need extra support due<br />

to complications at home.<br />

Cholmondeley is an independent charity<br />

and costs just under $3,000,000 per year to<br />

run. 20% of this figure is met by Government<br />

funding, and the remaining 80% comes from<br />

the generous support of the Canterbury<br />

community.

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 <strong>May</strong> 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 />

<strong>May</strong> 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 />

herbs and vegetables.<br />

And more and more gardeners<br />

are taking a natural and organic<br />

approach to gardening. This<br />

means less chemicals and more<br />

thought about what plants might<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 />

sme l which repels many insects<br />

and their roots also contain a<br />

pesticidal chemical which ki ls<br />

nematodes (microscopic parasites<br />

living in the soil).<br />

Marigolds are said to deter<br />

aphids from tomatoes and roses,<br />

and nematodes from potatoes and<br />

other root crops.<br />

They’re also said to keep<br />

white cabbage moths away from<br />

brassicas and wi l deter flies and Mass-planted, they wi l create a<br />

that New Zealand is one of only seven countries left<br />

operating commercial-level greyhound racing. Most<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 />

Independent reports into the welfare of dogs over the<br />

last 10 years have a l reported significant issues on and<br />

animal welfare organisation accepts some uses of<br />

animals by humans provided their physical, health and<br />

behavioural needs are met.<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 />

Your guide to all things Real Estate<br />

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

Budget-friendly<br />

bathroom updates<br />

Does your bathroom look drab and<br />

boring, but your funds are limited for<br />

remodeling? With a few clever and creative<br />

ideas, you can give your bathroom a fresh<br />

look with no need to break the bank.<br />

Here are some budget-friendly ideas to<br />

consider:<br />

Refresh your bathroom by adding a fresh<br />

coat of paint to the walls. Light, neutral<br />

colors can make the space feel larger and<br />

brighter. Prepare the walls before painting<br />

and select paint appropriate for the<br />

bathroom.<br />

With the proper prep work, you may<br />

also be able to paint the vanity and the<br />

cabinets for a fraction of the cost of<br />

buying new. Adding a new vanity top<br />

and swapping out handles could instantly<br />

improve the look. Adding a small<br />

backsplash behind your vanity is a costeffective<br />

and easily managed tiling option.<br />

To modernise your bathroom, look<br />

for products that meet your budget and<br />

upgrade outdated or damaged fixtures,<br />

such as taps, showerheads, toilet roll<br />

holders, towel holders, and mirrors.<br />

A quick and easy way to add visual<br />

excitement is to replace bathroom<br />

accessories, including towels, shower<br />

curtains, mats, and storage baskets; choose<br />

colours and patterns for a splash of colour<br />

and interest.<br />

Tiles can become dull or outdated. To<br />

refresh ceramic tiles, paint over them,<br />

use stencils or peel-and-stick tile decals<br />

to create a new look and stay within your<br />

budget. Grout can be another problem<br />

area, but one easily remedied by DIY. For<br />

a low-cost solution, give the grout a clean<br />

look using a grout pen or tiny brush to<br />

paint it. You can change from light to dark<br />

grout or vice versa.<br />

Create a relaxing atmosphere by<br />

bringing nature and greenery into your<br />

bathroom by adding potted plants. Choose<br />

plants that suit the light and humidity in<br />

your bathroom, and add colour and visual<br />

appeal with planters.<br />

Be creative when selecting storage<br />

solutions. You can recycle or repurpose<br />

items you already have or look for budgetfriendly<br />

options. Maximize your bathroom<br />

space by adding shelves, baskets, or overthe-toilet<br />

organisers.<br />

Update light bulbs and light fittings to<br />

suit your needs to modernise and make<br />

your bathroom a more functional space.<br />

If you want to create a relaxing spa-like<br />

atmosphere, choose warm lights. Overmirror<br />

and vanity lighting will also help<br />

with tasks like putting on make-up or<br />

shaving, while pendant lights can be a<br />

statement piece.<br />

With these budget-friendly ideas, you<br />

can make low-cost changes to transform<br />

your bathroom within your budget. You<br />

can also tackle one change at a time to<br />

spread the cost to suit your finances.<br />
