Teen told to kill himself<br />

before causing fatal crash<br />

• By Ric Stevens<br />

A BULLIED 14-year-old boy was<br />

told to kill himself in a social<br />

media group shortly before<br />

he took a car and deliberately<br />

crashed it near West Melton,<br />

causing an innocent woman’s<br />

death.<br />

Ryan William Rex Eastwick<br />

Eastwick, who had earlier called<br />

and texted his mother to say<br />

goodbye.<br />

Eastwick suffered traumatic<br />

brain injuries in the crash, as<br />

well as leg injuries which mean<br />

he cannot move around without<br />

a wheelchair or walking frame<br />

relief.<br />

The tragedy happened on the<br />

night of <strong>August</strong> 7 last year, when<br />

THE IMPACT of social<br />

media bullying is no more<br />

apparent than on page 1<br />

today.<br />

A teenager is in jail; and an<br />

innocent 60-year-old is dead,<br />

the result of what is known<br />

as autocide, or in this case an<br />

attempted autocide.<br />

The offending teenager had<br />

been influenced to do what<br />

he did after being involved in<br />

a Snapchat group. A 13-yearold<br />

in the group had told<br />

the teenager to kill himself<br />

several times on previous<br />

occasions.<br />

NZDF’s quarry worries seen as hypocrisy<br />

• By Daniel Alvey<br />

WEST MELTON resident Jerry<br />

Larason says it is ironic the<br />

New Zealand Defence Force is<br />

worried a planned quarry near<br />

the Burnham Military Camp will<br />

keep soldiers awake at night.<br />

He and other residents are<br />

currently involved in a dispute to<br />

stop the NZDF putting covenants<br />

on their homes<br />

to prevent them<br />

complaining<br />

about noise from<br />

the nearby army<br />

rifle range.<br />

“They’re<br />

making the noise<br />

and they want<br />

to be able to get<br />

away with it and<br />

they don’t mind<br />

Jerry<br />

Larason<br />

disturbing the sleep of the West<br />

Melton people and disturbing<br />

their daily lives,” Larason said.<br />

“The irony, which is huge, is<br />

they are concerned about their<br />

guys getting sleep (in Burnham)<br />

while they’re ramping it up here.<br />

“They just believe they are above<br />

the people.”<br />

Larason is also one of the cofounders<br />

of Rein in the Range,<br />

a group set up by residents in<br />

2009 to get the NZDF to limit<br />

explosive activity at the range and<br />

have better communication with<br />

residents.<br />

SOUND ARGUMENTS: The New Zealand Defence Force wants to prevent people complaining<br />

about noise from its West Melton Rifle Range, but has taken issue with potential noise from a<br />

planned quarry near Burnham.<br />

PHOTO: DANIEL ALVEY ​<br />

The NZDF is appealing to the<br />

Environment Court to reverse a<br />

decision in the District Plan not to<br />

put noise covenants on properties<br />

near the rifle range.<br />

Larason’s comments come after<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> revealed last month<br />

the NZDF has concerns about<br />

Burnham 2020 Ltd, a Fletcher<br />

Building subsidiary, wanting to<br />

build a quarry 500m from the<br />

Burnham camp.<br />

In the NZDF submission to<br />

Environment Canterbury for<br />

the quarry, it said if noise was<br />

not managed at the site, it would<br />

disrupt personnel and other<br />

Burnham residents.<br />

It also wanted reassurances<br />

about the quarry’s effects on water<br />

sources, transport routes, and how<br />

dust will be managed.<br />

In May, mediation was held<br />

between the NZDF and residents<br />

opposing the appeal, but no<br />

agreement was reached and it<br />

is expected to be heard by the<br />

Environment Court early next<br />

year.<br />

The NZDF declined to<br />

comment to <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> due to<br />

the issue being before the court.<br />

At the same time residents are<br />

fighting the NZDF, the council<br />

is also opposing a decision by<br />

former Minister of Defence<br />

Andrew Little to not produce a<br />

noise management plan for the<br />

range.<br />

Four submissions from West<br />

Melton residents prompted the<br />

request for the plan.<br />

“Council recommended to the<br />

minister of defence that a noise<br />

management plan be developed,<br />

but this request was declined,” a<br />

council spokesperson said.<br />

“The two parties have completed<br />

mediation, but could only agree<br />

on what a noise management and<br />

a potential communication plan<br />

for the range might look like.”<br />

The office for Minster of<br />

Defence Judith Collins referred<br />

all questions to the NZDF, which<br />

declined to comment.<br />

Due to the overlap between the<br />

council and resident appeals, both<br />

will be heard by the court at the<br />

same time.<br />

Larason said there have been<br />

few issues with noise from the<br />

range since it signed an agreement<br />

with residents in 2009 after a blast<br />

wave damaged properties and left<br />

animals distressed.<br />

But he thinks the “writing is on<br />

the wall” for the NZDF to rampup<br />

operations at the range if they<br />

get the covenant.<br />

“They’re intending on increasing<br />

noise levels here but they won’t<br />

explain why. They won’t say what<br />

for or what the noise levels will<br />

be.”<br />

The NZDF would not say what<br />

its future plans for the range were.<br />

Hot ash can cause bin<br />

and truck fires<br />

— dispose of it safely!<br />

1. Bucket and soak it<br />

Put ash in a metal bucket with water for<br />

at least five days.<br />

2. Bag it and bin it<br />

Place cold ash in a plastic bag<br />

then place it in the red rubbish bin.<br />

Bullying a factor in deadly decision<br />

• From page 1<br />

A 13-year-old in the group<br />

had already told Eastwick to kill<br />

himself several times on previous<br />

occasions.<br />

That evening the 13-year-old<br />

again told him on Snapchat to<br />

take his own life.<br />

After his mother gave him a<br />

hug goodnight and went to bed,<br />

Eastwick took the keys to her car<br />

and drove off towards West Coast<br />

Rd at speeds of between 150km/h<br />

and 190km/h.<br />

As he drove, he took photos of<br />

the car’s speedometer and sent it<br />

to the Snapchat group. He also<br />

sent messages saying goodbye.<br />

At about 10.57pm, he called his<br />

mother, crying and said goodbye<br />

to her. The call lasted 22 seconds.<br />

He also sent four text messages<br />

to his mother.<br />

Loveday was driving east<br />

on West Coast Rd towards<br />

Christchurch at about 100km/h.<br />

At about 11.10pm, Eastwick was<br />

driving in the opposite direction<br />

at about 150km/h.<br />

Near West Melton, Eastwick<br />

turned the steering wheel and<br />

crossed into the opposite lane,<br />

then straightened up, colliding<br />

head-on with Loveday’s car.<br />

Loveday died at the scene<br />

and Eastwick was taken to<br />

Christchurch Hospital in a<br />

critical condition.<br />

BULLIED: Ryan Eastwick, 15, deliberately caused a car crash which claimed the life of<br />

Sandra Loveday.<br />

PHOTO: RNZ<br />

“Sandra was clearly a<br />

very special lady, ” Justice<br />

Dunningham told the court.<br />

The judge acknowledged<br />

Loveday’s family in court – her<br />

sister Eileen O’Neill, her former<br />

husband Lindsay Loveday and<br />

her two sons, Sean and Cameron.<br />

The judge said she had also<br />

read a victim impact statement<br />

from Loveday’s new partner, who<br />

she was due to go to live with in<br />

Tasmania.<br />

He spoke of never having had<br />

a connection with someone like<br />

her and his “devastation” when he<br />

learned she had died.<br />

Loveday also had a close<br />

network of friends who “thought<br />

the world of her”.<br />

Justice Dunningham said<br />

Eastwick had mental health issues<br />

and an autism spectrum disorder<br />

which was undiagnosed at the<br />

time of the crash.<br />

“Your offending was triggered<br />

by bullying and in particular<br />

targeted messages suggesting you<br />

kill yourself on that night,” the<br />

judge said.<br />

Eastwick was deeply unhappy<br />

before the crash, having been<br />

bullied at school and shifted<br />

between schools several times.<br />

“Some of the features of autism<br />

observed in you is that you<br />

have challenges in developing<br />

peer relationships, and you<br />

demonstrate cognitive rigidity.<br />

“That means you see things in<br />

black and white and, once you get<br />

an idea in your head, you find it<br />

difficult to let go.<br />

“It seems that here, you formed<br />

a view that your life was worthless<br />

This report was produced by<br />

Open Justice – Te Pātītī, an<br />

NZME initiative funded by<br />

NZ on Air<br />

and, against the background<br />

of significant bullying and the<br />

messages encouraging you to<br />

commit suicide, you committed<br />

to a plan to do so.<br />

“Once you had committed to<br />

that plan, you were simply unable<br />

to let it go.”<br />

Eastwick has written a letter of<br />

apology acknowledging the pain<br />

and loss he caused and taking full<br />

responsibility for it.<br />

Eastwick was too young to have<br />

a driver licence and his case was<br />

transferred to the High Court due<br />

to the seriousness of the charge.<br />

There was no alcohol or drug<br />

involvement in the crash and the<br />

car had no mechanical issues.<br />

Hut owners hope to make<br />

‘heritage’ argument to iwi<br />

• From page 1<br />

Brown’s son, Les, said a<br />

meeting with Ngāi Tahu<br />

had been “pencilled in” for<br />

September 3, but it had yet to be<br />

confirmed.<br />

Brown has asked the other<br />

four Ngāi Tahu bach owners also<br />

be allowed to attend the meeting.<br />

Les said Environment<br />

Canterbury councillor Craig<br />

Pauling would mediate for them.<br />

“It’s very emotional. Dad’s<br />

been there (at the<br />

huts) for more<br />

than 60 years,”<br />

said Les.<br />

In June,<br />

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

revealed Ngāi<br />

Tahu was<br />

planning to<br />

establish a<br />

mahinga kai<br />

Don<br />

Brown<br />

centre of excellence on the site,<br />

surprising bach owners.<br />

Bach owner Ross Wilson<br />

said if the bid to allow Ngāi<br />

Tahu residents to stay at the<br />

huts was successful, it would be<br />

discriminatory for those who<br />

still had to go.<br />

“We’re all Kiwis. It’s a bit<br />

damn rough if your own kind<br />

stay and evict the others. I think<br />

that’s pretty rugged,” he said.<br />

UNCERTAIN: The future remains unknown for Greenpark<br />

Huts residents as Ngāi Tahu hut owners bid to remain at<br />

the settlement.<br />

PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<br />

Brown said he could see how it<br />

could be seen as discriminatory.<br />

“I could see how they would<br />

perceive it that way.”<br />

Brown said if Ngāi Tahu<br />

accepted the request, it would<br />

give non-Ngāi Tahu hut owners<br />

leverage to fight the eviction.<br />

Meanwhile <strong>Selwyn</strong> MP Nicola<br />

Grigg says the Government will<br />

not get involved in the saga.<br />

“I have corresponded<br />

periodically with the Greenpark<br />

Huts residents as and when<br />

they’ve approached me for<br />

advice or information, and have<br />

sympathy for their situation,”<br />

she said.<br />

“However, this is a private<br />

property matter between them<br />

and Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu. I<br />

have advised residents that the<br />

expiration of their leases is not a<br />

Government matter.”<br />

Principals plead for roll growth action<br />

• By Daniel Alvey<br />

DIFFERENT LUNCH breaks<br />

and temporary classrooms<br />

are just some of the solutions<br />

Lincoln’s primary schools have<br />

been forced to implement to cope<br />

with roll growth.<br />

Lincoln Primary principal<br />

Chris Nord said it is time for<br />

the Ministry of Education to be<br />

proactive, not<br />

reactive.<br />

His school has<br />

six temporary<br />

classrooms to<br />

accommodate<br />

the growth.<br />

“They<br />

certainly missed<br />

the boat there<br />

big time, even<br />

though this was<br />

Chris<br />

Nord<br />

signalled well in advance,” he<br />

said<br />

Nord said the classrooms are<br />

impacting the amount of green<br />

space the school has.<br />

“We can’t bring our school<br />

together in a hall. We have to<br />

split lunch times which has an<br />

impact on students and that has<br />

an impact on staff.”<br />

Since Nord started his role in<br />

2022, the school has grown from<br />

600 pupils to almost 770 and had<br />

been signalling the impending<br />

growth to the ministry before<br />

then.<br />

SHORT TERM: One of the temporary classrooms at Ararira<br />

Springs Primary School in Lincoln.<br />

Nearby<br />

Ararira Springs<br />

Primary is<br />

facing similar<br />

issues, with<br />

it also having<br />

temporary<br />

classrooms<br />

installed.<br />

Claire<br />

Said principal Howison<br />

Claire Howison: “The ministry<br />

has given us two and about to<br />

be four short-term roll growth<br />

classrooms, which is a fancy word<br />

for prefabs.”<br />

The concern from Lincoln<br />

schools comes as Rolleston is set<br />

to get another primary school in<br />

2026.<br />

“I feel like we’re the second<br />

cousin (to Rolleston) and I guess<br />

that’s because the growth in<br />

Rolleston is so crazy,” Howison<br />

said.<br />

Ararira Springs currently has<br />

a roll of 460 pupils, with the<br />

temporary classrooms allowing it<br />

to go up to 550.<br />

By now, it was supposed to<br />

have a stage two expansion which<br />

would allow up to 750 pupils, but<br />

Howison said construction has<br />

been delayed until at least term<br />

three next year.<br />

Lincoln’s population is<br />

expected to grow from 10,400 to<br />

14,000 over the next decade.<br />

Both schools did not make the<br />

ministry’s priority list for this<br />

financial year, which means no<br />

permanent solutions will be in<br />

the works until at least July next<br />

year – but only if they make the<br />

list.<br />

“Even though they are saying<br />

we are high on the priority list,<br />

there will still be nothing done<br />

until mid-2025,” Nord said.<br />

“Even if we manage to get on<br />

the priority list, it will be another<br />

six months to a year till any<br />

permanent solution.”<br />

Ministry of Education south<br />

leader Nancy Bell said the timing<br />

for permanent property solutions<br />

was dependent on future budget<br />

allocations and the relative<br />

priority compared with other<br />

projects across the country.<br />

“We regularly assess the<br />

emerging and changing<br />

growth and demand profiles in<br />

catchments across high-growth<br />

regions,” Bell said.<br />

“The ministry must prioritise<br />

its property investment to areas<br />

where the need is greatest, and<br />

we will continue to work with the<br />

schools to manage growth and<br />

plan future permanent property<br />

solutions.”<br />

A third primary school for<br />

Lincoln has been signalled as part<br />

of stage one of the Lincoln South<br />

subdivision, but no timing or size<br />

details have been revealed.<br />

Nord said even when the new<br />

school comes online, it will still<br />

be several years before it eases the<br />

pressure on rolls due to pupils not<br />

shifting schools.<br />

Both principals want the<br />

ministry to use money budgeted<br />

for new schools to be used to<br />

upgrade existing schools.<br />

Bell said that was not possible.<br />

“The ministry receives funding<br />

specifically to build new teaching<br />

spaces and new schools, and<br />

this funding cannot be used to<br />

refurbish existing buildings.<br />

Schools receive capital funding for<br />

property upgrades and projects<br />

and the ministry also invests in<br />

upgrading and improving existing<br />

school facilities.”<br />

International designer’s luxury<br />

renovation project up for sale<br />

RENOWNED interior designer<br />

Christopher Hall, whose work<br />

has adorned the homes of media<br />

barons, rich-listers and Saudi<br />

royals, is selling his New Zealand<br />

bolthole in Pigeon Bay.<br />

The property at 901 Pigeon Bay<br />

Rd was Hall’s Covid renovation<br />

project, and the results speak for<br />

themselves.<br />

Hall took a drab mansion on<br />

four hectares of Banks Peninsula<br />

land with a CV<br />

of just over $1<br />

million and<br />

turned it into a<br />

jaw-dropping<br />

trophy home<br />

fit for any<br />

number of his<br />

international<br />

clients.<br />

Hall had<br />

Christopher<br />

Hall<br />

intended to make Glenralloch<br />

Homestead his permanent home,<br />

but work has lured him back to<br />

the Northern Hemisphere, where<br />

he has spent most of his working<br />

life, and his beloved home is on<br />

the market.<br />

Sotheby’s International Realty<br />

agent Rosa Carter told OneRoof:<br />

“Christopher purchased the<br />

property as his own private home<br />

and completely re-did the house.<br />

Because he’s done it for himself,<br />

the quality of the renovation is<br />

almost unmatched.<br />

“All of his work from Europe,<br />

he brought it all back (to New<br />

Zealand). The radiators have<br />

been imported from Ireland. All<br />

the doors have been imported<br />

from Italy. The guest house is<br />

completely brand new.<br />

“All the irrigation and sewage<br />

systems have been upgraded. In<br />

fact, a lot of the infrastructure<br />

below ground is where much of<br />

the money has gone.”<br />

Carter said the fully automated<br />

garden irrigation system, the<br />

radiators, underfloor heating, and<br />

the main hot water system could<br />

all be operated remotely. She said<br />

the homestead had been used as<br />

accommodation for staff working<br />

at the nearby luxury Annandale<br />

resort.<br />

The homestead had been part<br />

of a larger, 500ha sheep and beef<br />

farm established in 1843 by a<br />

Scottish settler, but was carved off<br />

soon after the farm was listed for<br />

sale in 2017. Hall purchased the<br />

LUXURY: The homestead’s arts and craft era features have<br />

been meticulously restored.<br />

RENOVATION: Glenralloch Homestead has been restored to its former glory and is on<br />

the market. The property has been transformed from what it looked like when owner<br />

Christopher Hall bought it in 2020, pictured above left.<br />

property in 2020 for $1.165m.<br />

“It wasn’t a renovation and flip<br />

project, it was for himself, but life’s<br />

changed,” Carter said.<br />

“Unfortunately, he’s realised<br />

that with some big client work,<br />

he’s not going to be here for some<br />

time and is not going to be able to<br />

come back. Hence the sale.”<br />

One of Hall’s most renowned<br />

clients is Saudi Arabia’s Prince<br />

Faisal bin Sattam bin Abdulaziz<br />

Al Saud.<br />

Hall told Home magazine the<br />

Saudi projects he has worked on<br />

for the royal family and other<br />

wealthy clients were almost<br />

unimaginable in scale.<br />

Hall said he designed compounds<br />

with space for “nannies,<br />

teachers and basketball courts and<br />

that sort of thing”.<br />

Prior to the Covid-19 pandemic,<br />

Hall was living and working<br />

between London, Istanbul,<br />

Moscow and Barcelona, and is<br />

reported to have owned homes in<br />

each city.<br />

Glenralloch is for sale either as a<br />

VISTA: The house sports a large outdoor pool, and many<br />

other luxury features.<br />

turnkey property, fully furnished<br />

with Hall’s furniture and fittings,<br />

or unfurnished, said Carter.<br />

The seven-bedroom home,<br />

which has eight bathrooms, sports<br />

an RV of $1.97m but Carter said<br />

it had been set prior to Hall’s<br />

renovation.<br />

“The price expectation is north<br />

of $5m,” she told OneRoof.<br />

Hall’s international fame had<br />

brought potential buyers out of<br />

the woodwork, she said.<br />

“There have been expat Kiwis,<br />

who are just starting to research<br />

what they can buy, but are not<br />

ready to buy right now.<br />

“We have had interest from<br />

Christchurch families who<br />

are looking for a weekend and<br />

summer house. There has been<br />

quite a bit of interest from the<br />

North Island.”<br />

Local audiologist helps<br />

people of the Cook Islands<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> Audiologist Brenna Sincock arrived in Rarotonga<br />

on July 4th to continue her humanitarian work in the Cook<br />

Islands with two other colleagues. They provided a full range<br />

of audiological services to help those with limited access<br />

to hearing services. Amazingly, they saw 450 patients<br />

(271 adults and 179 children) over two weeks and fitted 91<br />

hearing aids!<br />

This work meant taking over all their audiology gear, doing hearing tests,<br />

triaging candidates for surgery for the ENT team who followed to do the<br />

surgeries, and taking over hearing aids and fitting them to people who<br />

needed them. After working on the main island of Rarotonga in 2017 and<br />

2022, this time, Brenna was stationed on the small outer island of Mangaia,<br />

the southernmost of the Cook Islands.<br />

Middle ear disease is common in<br />

Rarotonga, perhaps from frequent<br />

swimming and a hot, humid climate.<br />

However, in Mangaia, which has<br />

a slightly cooler climate, there are<br />

fewer middle ear problems. However,<br />

Brenna’s visit was warmly welcomed<br />

and much appreciated, as there hadn’t<br />

been an audiologist visit since 2016.<br />

While working at Mangaia Hospital,<br />

she screened all the school children<br />

on the island and identified those<br />

who required further treatment. Even<br />

though it took several hours, the<br />

people of Mangaia were happy to wait<br />

to be seen without complaint. The<br />

highlights of Brenna’s trip were seeing<br />

the reaction of patients with severe hearing loss, being able to hear their<br />

families again, and watching migrating humpback whales.<br />

These trips are a big<br />

undertaking, with a lot of<br />

work involved in getting<br />

there and ensuring that the<br />

islanders can help themselves<br />

afterward. Although the Cook<br />

Islands Ministry of Health<br />

normally funds the flights and<br />

accommodation, the team<br />

needs to fundraise, look to<br />

the public for donations, and<br />

approach manufacturers to<br />

support the trip. Brenna had<br />

asked for donations a month before the trip, and this year had the biggest<br />

response ever, with 60 hearing aids donated. When donated, aids must<br />

be screened and ensure they are appropriate, refurbished, and in proper<br />

working order. Fundraising and donations take work; getting equipment to<br />

and from the Cook Islands is challenging, but Brenna says it’s nice, “It makes<br />

you feel like you are giving back.”<br />

The audiologist visits have been in action for over a decade. Brenna<br />

confirms, “It is a longstanding commitment to the Cook Islands, and we plan<br />

to keep going every year and build consistency with the trip. Our long-term<br />

goal is hopefully to empower some nurses and nurse practitioners to upskill.”<br />

Safeguards<br />

in place for<br />

council AI<br />

THE COUNCIL has introduced<br />

its first policy to manage artificial<br />

intelligence.<br />

AI’s impact on people’s day-today<br />

lives has increased rapidly and<br />

the new policy is designed to reflect<br />

how the council makes use of the<br />

technology.<br />

The policy allows council staff<br />

to use AI for tasks including generating<br />

text or content for reports,<br />

emails, presentations, images, and<br />

customer service communications.<br />

Staff cannot use the AI for anything<br />

which contains confidential<br />

information.<br />

Said council chief digital officer<br />

Matt McGrath: “This is council’s<br />

first step towards ensuring safeguards<br />

when using AI tools.<br />

“The policy will be reviewed and<br />

transitioned as council matures as<br />

a digital organisation. The first step<br />

focuses on genAI (generative AI)<br />

and large language models. Future<br />

steps will include other AI tools<br />

and models.”<br />

The council’s use of AI will not<br />

affect staff jobs.<br />

The introduction of AI is part of<br />

the council’s plan to improve its<br />

digital experience for customers<br />

which it has budgeted $1.3 million<br />

over the next year to complete as<br />

part of its Long Term Plan.<br />

• By Daniel Alvey<br />

THE LARGE amount of<br />

Government reform is causing<br />

the council to reprioritise staff,<br />

delaying projects.<br />

It comes at a time when<br />

councils say introducing<br />

Government reforms are adding<br />

to already high rates increases.<br />

Since October, the council<br />

has prepared submissions on<br />

11 new bills or policies from<br />

the Government covering<br />

subjects including speed limits,<br />

emergency management, water<br />

reforms, and fast-tracking.<br />

Each takes a large amount of<br />

time to digest the changes and<br />

what effects it will have on the<br />

council.<br />

Council chief executive Sharon<br />

Mason said the workload and<br />

turnaround times meant staff<br />

were having to be pulled off other<br />

work to complete submissions.<br />

“We never remove anyone<br />

from frontline customer service.<br />

But it may mean if we have a<br />

paper that needs to be produced<br />

for council, it may end up being<br />

delayed a month because that<br />

person is then pulling together a<br />

submission,” said Mason, adding<br />

that extra work can have a flowon<br />

effect for other projects.<br />

“For councils, it is a large<br />

volume of work to receive the information,<br />

read the information,<br />

(and) pull a response together.<br />

Reform plans causing headaches<br />

COSTING TIME: Since October, the council has completed<br />

11 submissions on Government reforms.<br />

“Ideally,<br />

when it comes<br />

from council it<br />

needs to come<br />

with councillor<br />

endorsement<br />

and some of the<br />

time periods<br />

are very short<br />

turnaround<br />

times,” she said.<br />

“We’re a medium-sized<br />

Sharon<br />

Mason<br />

council and it is a challenge for<br />

us – I wouldn’t know how small<br />

councils are coping.”<br />

Deputy mayor Malcolm Lyall,<br />

who is standing in for Mayor<br />

Sam Broughton who is on leave,<br />

said in some cases staff were<br />

having to work long hours and<br />

on weekends to keep up.<br />

“It’s just another example of<br />

how central government changes<br />

cost local government,” Lyall<br />

said.<br />

Rates are rising by an average<br />

of 14.9 per cent across the<br />

district and Local Government<br />

New Zealand says some of<br />

the rise is down to central<br />

Government mandates.<br />

It published a report from<br />

economic consultancy firm<br />

NZIER last week analysing<br />

the cost to councils of four<br />

government reforms.<br />

The four areas were: the<br />

National Policy Statement for<br />

Freshwater Management, the<br />

National Policy Statement<br />

for Urban Development and<br />

Medium Density Standards, the<br />

Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act<br />

and improving recycling and<br />

food scrap collections.<br />

It estimated the implementation<br />

of those policies cost councils<br />

about $40 million, but it was<br />

hard to produce an exact figure<br />

due to councils not tracking how<br />

much they spend on implementing<br />

policy.<br />

In response to questions<br />

from <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong>, Local<br />

Government Minister Simeon<br />

Brown made no apologies for the<br />

high workload.<br />

“We are moving at pace to<br />

deliver upon our promises<br />

to New Zealanders and the<br />

mandate they gave us at the <strong>2024</strong><br />

general election,” Brown said.<br />

“The Government makes no<br />

apologies for moving quickly<br />

to deliver upon our election<br />

commitments.<br />

“New Zealand is facing<br />

significant challenges, and a lot<br />

more action is required to turn<br />

around the abysmal outcomes<br />

under the previous government.”<br />

Community support for<br />

Garden Party after meeting<br />

• By Isabella Adams<br />

LINCOLN University<br />

students’ Garden Party has<br />

been given the tick of approval<br />

after a community meeting.<br />

The event is back on again in<br />

October, after last year’s party<br />

was cancelled due to low ticket<br />

numbers.<br />

A community meeting<br />

was held by Lincoln University<br />

Students’ Association to<br />

present a plan that showed<br />

how the party would be<br />

managed.<br />

Lincoln<br />

Voice spokesperson<br />

Denise<br />

Carrick, who<br />

also went on<br />

behalf of the<br />

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

Patrol,<br />

said extra<br />

Denise<br />

Carrick<br />

security was discussed at the<br />

meeting.<br />

“They’re going to have huge<br />

amounts of support and a lot<br />

of work around preventing<br />

students from being highly<br />

intoxicated.”<br />

Carrick said the patrol<br />

car will be out and about<br />

throughout the day to<br />

assist police with minor<br />

altercations.<br />

LUSA will have its own<br />

security on the day.<br />

Support programme<br />

Red Frogs will also be in<br />

attendance, to take care of<br />

anyone too intoxicated.<br />

A police spokesperson<br />

said police did not attend the<br />

meeting, but are working<br />

closely with the university and<br />

the students association over<br />

the Garden Party.<br />

Carrick said Lincoln Voice<br />

was pleased with the outcome<br />

of the meeting and the event<br />

itself.<br />

“It’s always something that’s<br />

gone on. It’s really fun and<br />

part of the culture of Lincoln<br />

and being a university town.”<br />

First win a big confidence boost<br />

as combined side looks to future<br />

• By Sam Coughlan<br />

THE FUTURE is looking bright<br />

for the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Schools first XV<br />

after clinching their first victory<br />

of the season in the final round<br />

of the Miles Toyota Premiership<br />

regular season on Saturday.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> fought to a 20-12<br />

victory over Timaru Boys’<br />

High which saw them leapfrog<br />

their opponents into ninth on<br />

the table, avoiding the wooden<br />

spoon.<br />

Head coach Sidney Tauamiti<br />

was proud of the effort put in by<br />

his side.<br />

“In the<br />

first half we<br />

capitalised on a<br />

couple of good<br />

opportunities,”<br />

he said.<br />

“Then in the<br />

second half,<br />

discipline let<br />

us down. We<br />

got heavily<br />

Sidney<br />

Tauamiti<br />

penalised, and ended up with 13<br />

men at one stage thanks to two<br />

yellow cards, but I felt like the<br />

boys really rallied together in<br />

that period.<br />

“It showed some real grit and<br />

determination defensively.”<br />

The final round of games<br />

saw Christ’s College and<br />

Marlborough Boys’ College pick<br />

up wins over St Thomas and St<br />

Bede’s respectively to qualify for<br />

the playoffs – at the expense of<br />

the teams they beat.<br />

In this weekend’s semi-finals,<br />

Nelson College will host Marlborough<br />

while Christ’s College<br />

visit Christchurch Boys’ High.<br />

Tauamiti said picking up their<br />

first win was a special moment.<br />

“It was pretty evident in the<br />

group how much it meant. They<br />

were fizzing, and several hours<br />

after the game I think the boys<br />

were still feeling pretty jubilant.<br />

“It was a really, really good<br />

feeling.”<br />

With 23 of the 31-man squad<br />

making their premiership debut<br />

POWER: <strong>Selwyn</strong> Schools lock Freddy Cambridge on the charge against Timaru Boys’ High.<br />

this year, Tauamiti said they had<br />

learned a lot during the season.<br />

“There’s been some massive<br />

improvements, which has been<br />

really cool, just from guys that<br />

had no exposure at this level.<br />

“And for a lot of these guys<br />

in country rugby, that will be<br />

the highest level they’ll play,<br />

to be honest, and the only<br />

opportunity they get to play<br />

against that calibre of player.”<br />

Tauamiti said several players<br />

had really stepped up in what<br />

had been a challenging season.<br />

“Freddie Cambridge, he’s<br />

a real talent, as is Brooklyn<br />

Dalgety – a midfielder with real<br />

class and some ability to break<br />

the line.<br />

“And then the captain (Kai<br />

Tiltman) has been a real<br />

workhorse, taking on lots of<br />

responsibilities, and hasn’t shied<br />

away from it.”<br />

Tauamiti thought the team<br />

would be more competitive next<br />

year, with the bulk of the squad<br />

now having more experience<br />

under their belt.<br />

“We talk about a cycle where<br />

your year 11s and year 12s come<br />

in, and obviously they get their<br />

first taste of it, and it makes<br />

them better the second time<br />

around.”<br />

“Whether it be a three year<br />

cycle or a two year cycle, given<br />

that we had 23 guys who hadn’t<br />

experienced that level of rugby<br />

at all, it’s a significant jump,<br />

because a lot of them would have<br />

just played under-16 country.<br />

“I think we’ll be better for it.”<br />

Ellesmere<br />

yet to hit<br />

their stride<br />

• By Sam Coughlan<br />

ELLESMERE HEAD coach<br />

Dave Kettles isn’t bothered about<br />

his side’s first-round loss to<br />

Canterbury Pasifika in the Tane<br />

Norton Trophy.<br />

Despite losing 34-30 on Saturday,<br />

Kettles was optimistic about<br />

the team’s future – with one eye<br />

firmly on the Southbridge Shield<br />

clash against North Canterbury in<br />

four weeks’ time.<br />

“The effort areas were good<br />

from those guys, it’s just difficult<br />

forming combinations.<br />

“At that level, you need two or<br />

three games or four or five trainings<br />

together, and for some of<br />

those guys, it is a step from club<br />

rugby to rep rugby, so the more<br />

time we can get them in the environment,<br />

the better.”<br />

Kettles said Ellesmere – who<br />

fielded 10 debutants – were barely<br />

starting to hit their stride.<br />

Ellesmere will play Mid<br />

Canterbury this Saturday in a<br />

non-competition match, which<br />

Kettles said will be beneficial for<br />

both teams.<br />

“They’ve been together a while<br />

and they’re going to need that<br />

outing, and we definitely need<br />

the time with the guys together to<br />

work on those combinations.”<br />

Council rebuts criticism<br />

over loss of rugby match<br />

• By Sam Coughlan<br />

THE COUNCIL has refuted<br />

claims its ground management<br />

was responsible for the loss of<br />

the Canterbury NPC pre-season<br />

match against Otago on Friday.<br />

The match had been scheduled<br />

for Foster Park’s No 1 field, before<br />

Canterbury Rugby moved it<br />

to the No 2 field two weeks ago.<br />

A council spokesperson said<br />

it recommended to Canterbury<br />

Rugby the match be moved to<br />

field 2 to allow for “a better spectator<br />

experience, as spectators<br />

can surround the whole field”.<br />

An inspection of the No 2 field<br />

last Wednesday found it inadequate,<br />

which led to Foster Park<br />

losing the match altogether.<br />

The match was switched to<br />

Apollo Projects Stadium. Canterbury<br />

won 47-0.<br />

The game would have been<br />

the first Canterbury match to be<br />

hosted in the district.<br />

The Rolleston Rugby Club and<br />

Ellesmere Rugby sub-union both<br />

say the fields have been in poor<br />

condition ever since the rugby<br />

club shifted to Foster Park four<br />

years ago.<br />

“We struggle to even play our<br />

MUDDY: Rolleston’s Foster Park was scheduled to host an<br />

NPC pre-season match last week.<br />

club rugby there,” Rolleston<br />

president Nicky Ruki<br />

said.<br />

“This has been a<br />

discussion with the<br />

council for the four<br />

years since we’ve been<br />

there, the water just<br />

does not drain, it sits on<br />

top and just doesn’t go<br />

anywhere.”<br />

Nicky Ruki<br />

The council said work had<br />

been done on the grounds,<br />

with more on the way.<br />

“Upgrades have been<br />

carried out in the past<br />

two years to help improve<br />

drainage and add<br />

additional topsoil and grass<br />

on the Foster Park fields,” a<br />

spokesperson said.<br />

“This is part of a longerterm<br />

process to gradually<br />

improve these fields with<br />

upgrades to the grounds and<br />

work to improve and maintain<br />

better drainage annually.”<br />

Ellesmere rugby president<br />

Chris Thornley backed Ruki,<br />

saying it was frustrating for the<br />

district to lose a match of this<br />

nature.<br />

“We’ve been trying to get<br />

those fields fixed up for years<br />

and they (council) just won’t do<br />

(anything) about it,” he said.<br />

Thornley said when Ellesmere<br />

initially appointed the game to<br />

Rolleston, it thought the field<br />

would be in good condition after<br />

six weeks without play – as is<br />

required by Canterbury Rugby<br />

for a club venue to host a game<br />

like this.<br />

“We thought that we<br />

could manage it by Rolleston<br />

sacrificing home games and<br />

things like that.”<br />

The outcome may have cost<br />

Rolleston the chance to host<br />

another representative game.<br />

“Next year, if we get the<br />

opportunity, we would take<br />

it to another club where the<br />

fields have got better drainage,”<br />

Thornley said.<br />

area include:<br />

Crunch time for Lincoln as semis loom<br />

• By Sam Coughlan<br />

IT’S CRUNCH time for Lincoln<br />

A in the Premier 1 netball<br />

competition.<br />

With two rounds to go,<br />

Lincoln are well-placed to<br />

make the semi-finals, but a loss<br />

in tomorrow’s round 6 match<br />

will open them up to being<br />

leapfrogged into fourth.<br />

Burnham A and Broadfield A<br />

are locked in, while Greenpark<br />

B would need two big losses,<br />

and two big wins for either<br />

fifth-placed Rolleston A or<br />

sixth-placed Halswell RL A to be<br />

overtaken.<br />

While Lincoln are in a similar<br />

position, needing two losses for<br />

them and two wins for one of the<br />

chasing pack, they play Burnham<br />

this week – who lead the ladder<br />

unbeaten in the second phase of<br />

competition.<br />

It’s also a rematch of last<br />

year’s final, which was won by<br />

Burnham 40-39 for their second<br />

title in a row.<br />

Lincoln coach Dawn Daley<br />

said while Burnham are<br />

tough opponents, they’re not<br />

unbeatable – as Lincoln proved<br />

in the first phase of competition,<br />

winning 48-44.<br />

“It’s always tough against<br />

Burnham, we competed against<br />

them in the final last year,<br />

but their team has changed<br />

quite a lot this year, as has<br />

SHARP SHOOTER: Lincoln’s Sam Adams eyes up a shot on goal.<br />

ours,” she said.<br />

“And we did beat them in the<br />

first round, so I guess we’ve got<br />

that going in, but the teams have<br />

all developed since then, so we’ve<br />

really got to put that behind us<br />

and just go out and do the best<br />

we can this week.”<br />

Daley said they didn’t have a<br />

preference for which team they’d<br />

rather face in the semi-finals,<br />

should they make it.<br />

“We actually had a discussion<br />

about that as a team.<br />

“Any of those three (Burnham,<br />

Broadfield and Greenpark) are<br />

going to be difficult.<br />

“Any of those teams will be<br />

PHOTO: TASH DILLON<br />

tough, so our goal at the moment<br />

is to make top four, and then<br />

we’ll assess it from there.”<br />

Tomorrow’s round of matches<br />

at the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Netball Centre also<br />

sees Rolleston, needing a win<br />

to stay alive in the competition,<br />

play Greenpark, before Halswell<br />

– also needing a win – come up<br />

against second-placed Broadfield<br />

A.<br />

Bottom two teams Broadfield<br />

B and Dunsandel square off,<br />

with the winner likely to avoid<br />

the spoon.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> Business Survey Now Live<br />

The <strong>Selwyn</strong> Business Survey is now live. This<br />

survey is a bi-annual initiative aimed at gaining<br />

valuable insights into the pulse of <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

businesses and provides the Council with a<br />

comprehensive understanding of the current<br />

business landscape.<br />

If you own or represent a <strong>Selwyn</strong> business, your<br />

valuable input will play an important role in guiding<br />

our efforts to understand and enhance the business<br />

environment in <strong>Selwyn</strong>. The survey covers a range<br />

of topics including employment and investment<br />

trends, recent business conditions, future outlook,<br />

and emerging opportunities.<br />

The survey is open until 16 <strong>August</strong>. To take part<br />

visit selwyn.govt.nz/businesssurvey.<br />

Have your say on our<br />

representation arrangements<br />

People in Waikirikiri <strong>Selwyn</strong> are invited<br />

to have their say on how they would like<br />

to be represented at the next local body<br />

elections, with consultation on the district’s<br />

representation model opening for feedback<br />

from 8 <strong>August</strong> to 12 September <strong>2024</strong>.<br />

The Council has approved an initial proposal<br />

that includes reducing the number of<br />

councillors from 10 to eight, making slight<br />

adjustments to the electoral ward boundaries,<br />

using new names for the wards, and having<br />

no community boards.<br />

The Council wants to hear from as many<br />

people as possible about the proposal, as the<br />

resulting arrangements will be what is in place<br />

at the 2025 elections.<br />

The proposal aims to ensure fair and effective<br />

representation arrangements in future elections.<br />

Some towns and areas in <strong>Selwyn</strong> have grown<br />

faster than others and we now have an uneven<br />

number of people represented by each councillor.<br />

Under the proposal, the eight councillors would<br />

represent roughly 10,155 people each, with<br />

one councillor each for Malvern and Ellesmere<br />

wards, and three each for Rolleston and Springs<br />

wards. West Melton would move to Springs<br />

Ward and Burnham would join Rolleston Ward.<br />

The full proposal, as well as the consultation<br />

document, submission form and a schedule<br />

of when councillors and staff will be visiting<br />

different areas of the district will be<br />

available online from 8 <strong>August</strong> at<br />

Disabled Myelin takes to his new<br />

mobility aid like a duck to water<br />

• By Geoff Sloan<br />

A MISSION to get a disabled<br />

duck back on its feet has proven<br />

a waddling success.<br />

Myelin is one of more than a<br />

hundred ducks being cared for at<br />

North Canterbury Duck Rescue,<br />

near Oxford.<br />

It was set up by Kim Hartley,<br />

who said all the inhabitants have<br />

their unique stories and needs.<br />

Myelin had more complicated<br />

issues, after being born with a<br />

rare disability.<br />

“Basically, he’s got a balance<br />

disorder and he cannot stand by<br />

himself.”<br />

That saw Hartley appealing<br />

online for assistance in getting<br />

the two-year-old duck back up<br />

and moving again.<br />

Twelve-year-old Archer Smith<br />

answered the call and set about<br />

crafting an innovative solution<br />

for the bird.<br />

He designed and custom-built<br />

a support frame made from<br />

anodised aluminium, with<br />

all-weather wheels that allow<br />

Myelin to propel himself around<br />

on his webbed feet.<br />

And Myelin’s taken to the<br />

unusual device like a duck to<br />

water, which Hartley said has<br />

been life changing for the bird.<br />

UNLIKELY QUACK: Archer Smith purpose-built a ‘wheelchair’<br />

to allow disabled duck Myelin to walk upright for the first<br />

time in two years. Top right – duck rescue centre founder<br />

“He gets so excited, I think<br />

just having that little bit of<br />

independence.”<br />

North Canterbury Duck Rescue<br />

has been helping hundreds<br />

of ducks and ducklings on a<br />

rented farmland site near Oxford<br />

for the past eight years.<br />

“I get a lot of calls in spring,<br />

sometimes every day from people<br />

who have found ducklings<br />

in drains (or) ducklings and<br />

mothers being hit by a car,” said<br />

Hartley.<br />

She enjoys her job, and believes<br />

ducks are very intelligent.<br />

“I just love ducks. I never<br />

planned to do it, but the first<br />

year there were ducklings that<br />

hatched in the middle of winter,<br />

and I ended up looking after<br />

them after seeing they were just<br />

all dying. I just sort of fell in love<br />

with ducks from there.<br />

• Watch the video on<br />

Starnews.co.nz<br />

Made with the support<br />

of NZ On Air<br />

“I find them hilarious most of<br />

the time, very entertaining.”<br />

However, the out-of-work IT<br />

consultant has been funding the<br />

sanctuary’s large running costs<br />

out of her own savings of late.<br />

That prompted her to set up<br />

a Givealittle page to encourage<br />

donations from bird lovers.<br />

Hartley is still hoping to save<br />

enough money to buy some<br />

land to permanently house<br />

the duck sanctuary, and help<br />

ensure a brighter future for the<br />

amphibious birds.<br />

GARDENING<br />

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

Perfect time to get your lawn in order<br />

EARLY AUGUST is the time to<br />

attack the thatch on your lawns.<br />

Thatch is caused by several<br />

factors, including grass<br />

type, excessive watering, soil<br />

compaction, high or low soil<br />

pH, or overuse of fertiliser and<br />

pesticides.<br />

Remove a core of soil from the<br />

lawn with a trowel or shovel and<br />

measure the depth of the thatch,<br />

which is the layer of dead grass<br />

above the soil line.<br />

A layer that’s 1-2.5cm thick can<br />

be removed with a rake. Deeper<br />

layers may require a power rake.<br />

The best time to de-thatch is just<br />

before the grass begins a period<br />

of active growth, which is usually<br />

early spring.<br />

For lawns with more than an<br />

3cm of thatch, power rakes or<br />

vertical mowers will need to be<br />

used and can be hired.<br />

Mow the lawn a little lower<br />

than usual. If needed, water it to<br />

moisten the soil.<br />

If you use a thatching rake, pull<br />

the blade-like tines across the<br />

lawn, cutting through the thatch.<br />

Work in sections, then remove the<br />

debris.<br />

If you re using a power rake or<br />

vertical mower, adjust the cutters<br />

to slice just through the thatch<br />

layer. Check cutter depth after the<br />

first metre. Run the machine in<br />

parallel rows over the lawn and<br />

MAINTENANCE: Put in the hard work now to de-thatch your lawn and reap the benefits when warmer weather arrives.<br />

then again at 90 deg to the first<br />

pass. Remove debris with a rake.<br />

Over-seed with a good-quality<br />

grass seed to improve the lawn’s<br />

health, vigour, and appearance.<br />

Other tips for early<br />

<strong>August</strong><br />

EDIBLES<br />

• Dig over vacant areas and leave<br />

for frosts to pulverise the lumps.<br />

• Apply lime to vegetable garden<br />

plots where green crops were<br />

dug to increase worm activity.<br />

• Spread a general fertiliser on<br />

areas to be planted next month.<br />

• Check your peach, apricot and<br />

nectarine buds frequently. Spray<br />

them with copper before bud<br />

burst to protect against curly<br />

leaf. Same spray for bladder<br />

plum.<br />

• In warmer areas you can now<br />

begin sowing in a protected<br />

position lettuces, peas, silver<br />

beet and spinach.<br />

• Sow outdoors hardy herbs,<br />

tender herbs under glass.<br />

• In warm areas or towards the<br />

end of the month sow under<br />

your glass courgettes, eggplants,<br />

peppers and tomatoes.<br />

• Plant out your asparagus, globe<br />

artichokes, cabbage, cauliflower,<br />

lettuce, onions and silver beet.<br />

• Divide and replant rhubarb.<br />

• Fertilise citrus generously<br />

towards the end of the month.<br />

Everything you need<br />

for your garden!<br />

ORNAMENTAL<br />

• Plant deciduous trees, shrubs.<br />

• Complete pruning of roses and<br />

cutting back of all perennials.<br />

• Complete mulching garden<br />

beds.<br />

GENERAL<br />

• Slugs and snails abound,<br />

spread slug bait<br />

• Ensure all-seasons oil and<br />

copper sprays have been applied<br />

to all fruit trees and roses.<br />

“The poor wee lambs!”<br />

• By Isabelle Teresa<br />

Driving <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s rural roads at the<br />

moment, you’ll quickly come across<br />

what many expect to be a Spring sight<br />

– young, spindly, vulnerable-looking<br />

lambs. And yes, in these depths of<br />

winter, it’s tempting to think “The poor<br />

wee lambs!”<br />

But there’s no farmer carelessness<br />

going on here – there are many natural<br />

and practical reasons why lambs are<br />

born towards the end of winter.<br />

First of all, ewes who breed seasonally<br />

come into mating season in autumn,<br />

meaning that five months later is, well,<br />

now. There’s no reason for farmers to<br />

try and change that. If the ewes were<br />

lambing in spring, they would be<br />

overfeeding on fresh spring grass, and<br />

there are dangers in an overweight ewe<br />

giving birth. Also, that spring grass<br />

needs to be kept available for the lambs,<br />

who start nibbling it from three weeks<br />

old and should be fully weaned by<br />

about two months. If they’re weaned in<br />

summer, the quality of the pasture will<br />

be affected by heat and drought.<br />

Lambs born in the cold experience less<br />

risk of flystrike and of getting a serious<br />

case of worms before they wean.<br />

Winter may seem to us like the<br />

harshest time of year, but bearing in<br />

mind that lambs come with their own<br />

best outfit, it’s the combination of wet<br />

and wind that is more dangerous to them<br />

than just cold – and this combination is<br />

more prominent in <strong>Selwyn</strong> conditions<br />

during spring than winter.<br />

On the topic of shelter, The Ministry<br />

for Primary Industries’ “Code of Welfare:<br />

Sheep and Beef Cattle” states that the<br />

main way to help animals survive<br />

extremes of heat or cold is to ensure they<br />

are healthy and suitably pastured. Access<br />

to shelter and shade can be as simple as<br />

tussocks, trees and shelter belts or rocks,<br />

ridges and gullies.<br />

Finally of course, the realities of the<br />

market support winter lambing. Nothing<br />

beats roast lamb for Christmas dinner!<br />

Realistically if a lamb is going to die<br />

young, including of hypothermia, this<br />

is most likely to happen in the first few<br />

days after birth. So no matter how bleak<br />

the weather seems, if you’re seeing lambs<br />

in the fields now, don’t worry – they’re<br />

through the worst already.<br />

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

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

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

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

a 20” carbon filter cartridge.<br />

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

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

Strong Cantabrian presence in <strong>2024</strong><br />

• By Isabelle Teresa<br />

The finalists are announced for the<br />

<strong>2024</strong> Arable Awards, and Canterbury is<br />

front and centre.<br />

The Innovation Award will be an<br />

interesting one to watch, with two<br />

Lincoln women in the spotlight.<br />

Anna Gillum is no stranger to<br />

these awards, having been a finalist<br />

in Researcher of the Year in 2023. She<br />

has led PGG Wrightson Seeds’ cereal<br />

fungicide research for eight years, and is<br />

passionate about learning and adapting<br />

local and international technologies to<br />

build them into agronomy packages.<br />

Dr Soonie Chng came from Singapore<br />

for her undergraduate degree in<br />

Horticultural Science in 1999 and<br />

has stayed in Lincoln ever since, now<br />

as a Senior Scientist at Plant & Food<br />

Research. She creates practical and<br />

environmentally sustainable management<br />

solutions for airborne and soilborne<br />

diseases. She is also currently involved<br />

in an aid programme funded by the<br />

Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade,<br />

developing disease management<br />

strategies for onion, chilli and tomato<br />

crops for Myanmar growers.<br />

The Working Together Award will be<br />

equally interesting, featuring a South<br />

Canterbury showdown.<br />

The Grass Weed Control Arable<br />

Growers Group focuses on grass weeds,<br />

resistance challenges and rotation<br />

practices to minimise the impact weeds<br />

have on profitability. The Oilseed Monitor<br />

Farms have been operating since 2020<br />

with 10 monitor farms with 19 monitor<br />

blocks. This FAR and Pure Oil NZ<br />

collaboration has achieved impressive<br />

yields of oilseed rape while reducing<br />

nitrogen applications.<br />

Kia ora<br />

The way you are represented around<br />

the Council table is an important part<br />

of our local democracy, and now is<br />

your chance to have a say about what<br />

that representation looks like.<br />

We are inviting your feedback<br />

on the Council’s initial proposed<br />

representation arrangements for the<br />

district, with submissions welcome<br />

from Thursday 8 <strong>August</strong> to Thursday<br />

12 September <strong>2024</strong>.<br />

Our initial proposal is to reduce the<br />

number of councillors from 10 to<br />

eight (one councillor each for Malvern<br />

and Ellesmere wards and three each<br />

for Rolleston and Springs wards);<br />

make slight adjustments to the ward<br />

boundaries by moving West Melton<br />

into Springs Ward and Burnham<br />

into Rolleston Ward; rename the<br />

wards; and we would no longer have<br />

community boards.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> Loves Their Dogs<br />

As an avid dog lover, they have always been a big part of my family and clearly, I am not the<br />

only person in <strong>Selwyn</strong> who loves my dog. Did you know <strong>Selwyn</strong> has one of the highest rates of<br />

dog ownerships in the country with one in five households owning a dog? <strong>Selwyn</strong> dog owners<br />

also love the names Poppy, Ruby, Charlie, and Max. With 2,231 labradors registered for the year<br />

2023/24, this breed is a clear favourite.<br />

In the list of top 20 breeds for 2023/24, the Chihuahua made its debut, knocking off the<br />

Bearded Collie from the previous year’s table. We love our dogs in <strong>Selwyn</strong>, so it is important for<br />

us to make sure we have a good animal control service. Our team are on call 24/7 looking after<br />

lost dogs and helping reunite you with your pets, helping with complaints, and running dog<br />

safety education programmes and microchipping clinics.<br />

With the district’s booming population (and pupulation) the Council has increased fees for<br />

the first time in over three years to cover the increasing operational costs necessary to deliver<br />

animal control services. Costs have been kept as low as possible, while still maintaining the<br />

exceptional service and value for money the animal control team continually provide.<br />

Recommendations for Local<br />

Government<br />

Last month a review made<br />

recommendations for an overhaul<br />

of Local Government, including that<br />

Councils should have more control over<br />

how public money is spent.<br />

In New Zealand over 90% of public<br />

money is spent by Central Government<br />

leaving Councils to spend the remaining<br />

10%. This makes it hard for us to provide<br />

the infrastructure and services we know<br />

you need.<br />

The report also says that Government<br />

should pay rates on Crown property,<br />

for <strong>Selwyn</strong> this could mean valuable<br />

new income from Defence and DoC.<br />

We simply can’t continue to raise rates<br />

to pay for the ever-expanding list of<br />

things Central Government want us to<br />

do, as well as tackling climate change<br />

and caring for our environment.<br />

Happy Matariki from Ellesmere<br />

Manawatia a Matariki, Nga mihi o<br />

te tau hou.<br />

Wow what an amazing time of the year<br />

winter is. Frosts on the grass and on your<br />

windscreens means extra care is needed<br />

when driving, especially in case of<br />

black ice.<br />

As our uniquely “New Zealand” New Year<br />

we get to spend time together out in the<br />

fresh winter air, walking Harts Creek or<br />

Te Waihora or on the slopes. It’s even<br />

better to come home to the fire and share<br />

experiences with family and friends over<br />

your favourite warm winter meals.<br />

School is back and it’s fantastic to see<br />

the new speed signs installed in our<br />

communities.<br />

This means a safer environment for<br />

our Tamariki getting to and from kura<br />

or school.<br />

It’s an exciting time for Ellesmere.<br />

The adoption of the Long-Term Plan<br />

24-34 means Council’s focus will be on<br />

delivering the new multi-purpose facility<br />

“Whata Rau” for our communities now<br />

and in the future.<br />

Stay safe and warm.<br />

Ma te wa, Shane.<br />

Other recommendations in the report<br />

might see Councils elected for a four-year<br />

term, this would double the amount of<br />

usable time between elections to deliver<br />

for <strong>Selwyn</strong>. The report also asks Councils<br />

to work together in our regions. Labour<br />

and National have said they won’t be<br />

considering the recommendations until<br />

after the elections, so in the meantime I’ll<br />

be working with our neighbours on issues<br />

we can tackle together.<br />

For a more in-depth look at the review,<br />

I’ve put together a podcast, just search<br />

Group.<br />

Census Data Reveals <strong>Selwyn</strong> Story<br />

The first data released from the<br />

2023 cencus continues to tell<br />

the story of Waikirikiri <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

as a fast-growing, young and<br />

diversifying district.<br />

Between 2018 and 2023<br />

Waikirikiri <strong>Selwyn</strong> was the fastest<br />

growing district in the country<br />

with dwellings and population<br />

both growing by 29%.<br />

This increase is considerably<br />

outpacing the rate for Aotearoa<br />

New Zealand (6.3%) and Waitaha<br />

Canterbury (8.6%).<br />

Waikirikiri <strong>Selwyn</strong> residents are<br />

younger, 37.6 years on average,<br />

than those across the country<br />

at 38.1 for all of Aotearoa New<br />

Zealand and 39.1 for Waitaha<br />

Canterbury.<br />

While the population is younger<br />

in general, there is a relatively<br />

low population in the 20-29 age<br />

group with only 10.3% within<br />

this age group, compared to the<br />

Aotearoa New Zealand average of<br />

12.9%.<br />

Over 50% of the total population<br />

is under 40 years of age, while<br />

50% of the population of Māori<br />

descent are under 24 years of<br />

age, with a median age of 24.7,<br />

a full 13 years younger than the<br />

total population.<br />

Diversity is growing, as 84.1%<br />

of Waikirikiri <strong>Selwyn</strong> residents<br />

identify as European compared to<br />

89.3% in 2018, and 91.9% in 2013.<br />

Increasing number identify as<br />

Māori (9%), Pacific Peoples<br />

(2.4%), Asian (11.4%) and Middle<br />

Eastern/Latin American/African<br />

(1.5%).<br />

Each month, Neighbourhood<br />

Support New Zealand celebrates<br />

a community champion –<br />

someone who promotes<br />

Neighbourhood Support<br />

within their local community.<br />

Last month’s June recipient<br />

was Springs Ward resident<br />

Lois Thomas.<br />

Anyone who know Lois recognises<br />

her as a tireless volunteer who<br />

has given her time to many<br />

past and current organisations.<br />

She is a committee member<br />

on the Liffey Lifestyle Village<br />

body corporate and its local<br />

Civil Defence co-ordinator; This<br />

role is in association with her<br />

participation in Lincoln’s Civil<br />

Response Team under “<strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

As a committee member of the<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> Lions and alongside<br />

fellow members she helps<br />

fundraise for community projects<br />

through hosting events such as<br />

“Designs and Desserts”; “Show<br />

your Support”, a bra decoration<br />

competition for Breast Cancer<br />

and undertaking various catering<br />

engagements.<br />

While Lois has recently stepped<br />

aside from her role as a volunteer<br />

co-ordinator of the Springston<br />

Enviro Community Garden,<br />

a project she is most proud of is<br />

the installation of the “pataka kai”<br />

vege barrow located at the school<br />

gate where you can purchase local<br />

grown produce with the proceeds<br />

being returned to the garden.<br />

• By Susan Sandys<br />

A MOTORIST a legedly more<br />

than thr e times the drink<br />

driving limit was caught after<br />

doing a burnout near the<br />

Ro leston police station.<br />

Police say the 25-year-old<br />

from Burnham recorded 1026<br />

micrograms of alcohol per<br />

litre of breath. The lega limit is<br />

250mcg/l. He was also charged<br />

with sustained lo s of traction.<br />

Senior Sergeant<br />

Dean Harker<br />

said the driver<br />

was tracked to a<br />

Organised by the Prostate Cancer Foundation of New Zealand<br />

after a member of<br />

the public reporting<br />

s eing him<br />

doing a burnout<br />

near the Te nyson St police station<br />

about 10.50pm on Friday.<br />

“He was a noyed about something<br />

and decided to do a burnout,<br />

which wasn’t a g od l ok<br />

when you have b en drinking as<br />

The burnout wasn’t an antipolice<br />

A DARFIELD farmer has<br />

spoken of watching a man leap into<br />

the flooded Hawkins River to try and<br />

save himself after a helicopter winch<br />

rescue operation failed.<br />

Rod May had taken his tractor to<br />

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

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

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

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

The man had driven into the<br />

flooded river, escaped from his car<br />

and ca led emergency services from<br />

his ce lphone which he managed to<br />

keep with him.<br />

Ultimately, a second helicopter<br />

winch operation plucked the man<br />

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

It was a happy ending to the<br />

ordeal which had lasted more than<br />

three hours. The rescue was among<br />

several in Canterbury on Sunday in<br />

flooded rivers.<br />

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

had dinner when a neighbour alerted<br />

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

the floodwaters were too high for the<br />

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

i luminating the site where the man<br />

was. • Turn to page 5<br />

litre of breath. The lega limit is<br />

250mcg/l. He was also charged<br />

the public reporting<br />

seeing him<br />

doing a burnout<br />

near the Tennyson St police station<br />

about 10.50pm on Friday.<br />

“He was annoyed about something<br />

which wasn’t a good look<br />

when you have been drinking as<br />

The burnout wasn’t an antipolice<br />

thing, said Harker.<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 />

SPCA is ca ling for an end to commercial greyhound<br />

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

operating commercial-level greyhound racing. Most<br />

recently the US states of Arkansas, Florida and Iowa a l<br />

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

Only last year the Government took an<br />

unprecedented step to pu the performance of<br />

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

off the track.<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 />

How property buyers can spot<br />

a healthy home<br />

Purchasing a house that’s warm and dry is a priority for many<br />

property hunters, but how can buyers identify a ‘healthy’ home?<br />

Real Estate Authority (REA) say there<br />

are a handful of key traits to watch out<br />

for.<br />

“A house that’s hard to heat can make<br />

you sick and miserable. In many cases,<br />

the key is good insulation,” the REA says.<br />

The World Health Organisation<br />

recommends a minimum of 18 degrees in<br />

our homes. Insulation is often the most<br />

practical and cost-effective way to make a<br />

house more energy efficient. An insulated<br />

home is warmer in winter and cooler<br />

in summer, which can provide health<br />

benefits like reducing mould and damp.<br />

“Ask the agent or seller if the property<br />

is insulated, the type of insulation used<br />

and when it was installed. Ask your<br />

building inspector to check the state of<br />

the insulation,” REA suggests.<br />

REA explains insulation should be<br />

replaced or topped up if it’s less than<br />

12cm thick, doesn’t cover the whole<br />

ceiling, has become wet or damp, or been<br />

damaged by rodents or birds.<br />

“If a property you’re looking at isn’t<br />

insulated, it’s a good idea to budget for<br />

the cost of doing the work, as your health<br />

(and your wallet) will thank you in the<br />

long term.”<br />

There’s support available for some<br />

buyers, such as a Warmer Kiwi Homes<br />

insulation grant. Some local councils<br />

also allow property owner to add the cost<br />

of insulation to their rates and pay this<br />

back over time.<br />

When working to identify a healthy<br />

home, REA says it’s important to watch<br />

out for dampness. Signs of dampness<br />

include musty smells, damp or mouldy<br />

wardrobe contents, mould forming<br />

behind paintings or furniture, or mould<br />

or watermarks on ceilings or walls.<br />

“Condensation on windows, especially<br />

in bedrooms, isn’t necessarily a sign of<br />

excessive dampness if it only happens<br />

occasionally during winter,” REA<br />

explains.<br />

Ideally, the house will have extractor<br />

fans in the bathroom, kitchen and<br />

laundry that are vented outside. Fans<br />

should not be vented into the roof space.<br />

Good curtains can also help a house<br />

retain warmth.<br />

“It’s important to note that curtains<br />

aren’t necessarily included in the sale of<br />

the house, so ask about this and if the<br />

answer is yes, ensure they’re included in<br />

the list of chattels in the sale and purchase<br />

agreement,” REA says.<br />

According to EECA, good curtains<br />

should be floor-length and fit tightly<br />

against the wall or window frame. Silllength<br />

curtains are ineffective. Curtains<br />

should be wider than the window<br />

frame and preferably be double layered<br />

with a thick lining. If the property has<br />

ineffective curtains, or does not come<br />

with curtains, buyers should factor this<br />

cost into their budget.<br />

Selling your home?<br />

Potential buyers are likely to be<br />

We need your help to fill our beds.<br />

Cholmondeley Children’s Centre has<br />

23 beds for tamariki to stay during<br />

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

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

due to resourcing constraints.<br />

Every empty bed is a missed<br />

opportunity to support a child in need.<br />

Donate today to give Canterbury<br />

tamariki a safe place to sleep.<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.<br />

Get your<br />

home noticed<br />

It takes more than good photography to help sell a home.<br />

You’ll want your home to look attractive and appealing<br />

for a potential home buyer so check out these following<br />

tips to get your home ready for real estate photography<br />

and open homes...<br />

• First impressions count: Clear away shoes, coats and<br />

other items to make your front entrance look clean and<br />

welcoming.<br />

• Create natural light: Open all curtains and/or blinds;<br />

turn on lights for open home days.<br />

• Keep it clean: A clean house and well cared for section<br />

will be far more appealing to a buyer; get rid of cobwebs;<br />

shine the taps; polish the windows and doorknobs; wash<br />

and vacuum the floors.<br />

• Stay fresh: Don’t allow stale cooking and living smells<br />

to linger – open windows daily, display a vase of sweet<br />

smelling flowers, and if need be an occasional spray with a<br />

can of air freshener. Don’t burn incense as the buyer may<br />

wonder what you are trying to cover up.<br />

• De-clutter every room: This is the most important.<br />

Clean counters, tables, coffee tables and wall units. Clutter<br />

really attracts the eye and takes away from the beauty of the<br />

home.<br />

• Kitchen/Dining: Remove all unnecessary items; keep<br />

the benches clean and clear; remove all used tea towels and<br />

dishcloths; use flowers to brighten up the dining table.<br />

• Bathroom: We all have clutter in the bathroom<br />

– toothbrushes, creams, toothpaste etc. Before the<br />

photographer arrives (or<br />

potential buyers) put all<br />

the clutter into a small box,<br />

which can easily be stored<br />

out of sight. Place clean<br />

colour co-ordinated towels,<br />

neatly folded, onto the towel<br />

rail.<br />

• Bedroom: Use colour coordinated bedcovers and linen;<br />

plump up your pillows; straighten the valance; put all<br />

clothing and person items out of sight.<br />

• Office: It’s often hard to keep this room perfectly tidy<br />

but try to keep it as orderly as possible.<br />

• Keep corners free of clutter: This helps make a room<br />

look bigger and therefore more spacious.<br />

• Make your room look bigger: rearrange furniture to<br />

create more floor space.<br />

• Add colour: If your house is neutral in colour, try<br />

adding small touches of colour with fresh flowers. Another<br />

quick color fix is to use cushions but don’t go overboard.<br />

Red works well against neutral backgrounds as do bright<br />

blues and greens. Just remember to keep it minimal, pick<br />

one colour per room, and it will work.<br />

• Move toys out of living areas: Keep them in the<br />

rumpus room or the children’s bedrooms.<br />

• Boxes or small storage units: Stack them in one area or<br />

the spare bedroom. Better not to take a picture of the spare<br />

bedroom than have boxes or storage boxes in each room.<br />

Better yet – stack them against one wall and this way the<br />

photographer can avoid that wall when taking the picture.<br />

• Check your cords, cables and wires: Tuck and hide<br />

those cords away or simply unplug them.<br />

• Keep pets out of sight: Prospective buyers don’t want<br />

pets leaping at them or they may be even allergic to pet<br />

hair, so keep them out of sight or away for photography and<br />

open home days.<br />

• Clean up your section and garage: Keep lawns mowed,<br />

gardens weeded, hoses and wheelbarrow stored out of sight;<br />

take excess rubbish to the tip; and arrange your garage to<br />

look as spacious and orderly as possible.

Enhance your home’s<br />

natural light<br />

These dreary winter days may have shown areas in your home<br />

that would benefit from extra natural light. Rather than installing<br />

more electrical lighting, enhancing the natural light in your home<br />

with a skylight, roof window, or sun tunnel could be a solution.<br />

They can create a dramatic effect and offer functional benefits<br />

while contributing to energy efficiency and overall well-being.<br />

Sometimes, skylights are referred to as “roof windows,” but<br />

traditionally, a skylight cannot be opened while a roof window<br />

can. Skylights come in various types, including fixed, vented,<br />

or domed, to suit the home’s style and lighting needs. They are<br />

versatile and can easily transform dark areas into bright, inviting<br />

spaces.<br />

Sun tunnels, also known as solar tubes, are a cost-effective<br />

option. These systems use highly reflective roof-mounted tubing<br />

to channel sunlight from the roof into interior spaces using<br />

a diffuser. They are great for areas that might not be suitable<br />

for traditional skylights, such as hallways, bathrooms, walk-in<br />

wardrobes, laundry rooms, and pantries. Sun tunnels are a costeffective<br />

way to introduce daylight without significant structural<br />

changes, and heat loss is minimised.<br />

Roof windows, or roof lights, are outward-opening windows<br />

usually larger than skylights and are designed to be part of<br />

the roof. They are ideal for spaces that require a combination<br />

of natural light and ventilation. They open like traditional<br />

windows with electric or manual opener options, allowing fresh<br />

air to circulate and improving indoor air quality. Nowadays,<br />

they can use innovative technology with rain sensors to close<br />

automatically when it rains, can be powered by solar, or have<br />

dimmers with a remote or ventilation kits.<br />

Exposure to natural light is essential for our well-being.<br />

Installing a skylight, sun tunnel, or roof window can ensure<br />

sufficient lighting in spaces and reduce reliance on artificial<br />

lighting. Technological advances, including double-glazing and<br />

specialised coatings, can effectively block most UV light and<br />

restrict heat buildup in summer and heat loss in winter, making<br />

energy efficiency possible. Make good use of the abundant<br />

natural light to brighten up dark spaces in your home.<br />
