Sports groups surprised by new charging plan
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
THE POSSIBILITY of a
district -wide charge for all sports
clubs using recreational reserves
has come as news to Selwyn’s
major sporting associations.
Most organisations have little
knowledge the district council is
considering bringing in a consistent
charge.
The Selwyn Times revealed last
week the charge would be to help
address ongoing issues for sports
clubs struggling to pay their leases.
The district council previously
told Selwyn Times the current
situation is very “complicated”
where no fees are charged for
some sports clubs while for
others a fee is levied for the
same level of service.
Ellesmere Cricket Sub
Association president Richard
Clark said he hadn’t heard a lot
about the district-wide charge
but will be attending a Lincoln
Domain board meeting and
hopes to get more information.
He said from a Lincoln Cricket
Club perspective it pays an annual
fee for the use of the grounds
at the Lincoln Domain which is
“pretty minimal.”
“The debate becomes how
much is that going to be in terms
of a fee number for everybody,”
he said.
Ellesmere Rugby Sub Union
chairman Chris Thornley said
it is unaware of any of its sports
clubs being charged a rental for
the grounds it uses.
“We know nothing about it
and we find it concerning that
they are looking to put a levy on
every club because there is not a
lot of money in rugby clubs now
let alone getting charged.”

MISSION accomplished.
Waihora Rugby Club president
Chris Thornley has called time on
his tenure after 27 years.
His efforts were recognised at
a club function at Tai Tapu on
Friday night.
The 51-year-old farrier and
horse trainer said with new
clubrooms and the senior team
winning the Country Combined
and Ellesmere double, the time
was right to step down.
“It’s been an amazing time and
I’ve met so many people through
this role and rugby in general,
that it’s really been a great ride,”
he said.

SOME SPORTS clubs will benefit and
others will see their leases increase under
a potential new district-wide council
charging regime.
We revealed last week plans the district
council is considering. This week, some
key sports organisations (see page 1) were canvassed to get their
views.
They were fairly much in the dark over the plans, but expressed
concerns about paying more than they are now.
But the new regime is about fairness – hard to argue against
that.
I hear Chris Thornley got a good send-off on Friday night.
Chris has stepped down after 27 years as president of Waihora
rugby (see page 1).
He won’t be lost to rugby administration though. Chris is still
the Ellesmere sub union chairman and vice-president.

Road safety signs
failed to comply with rules
• By Emily O’Connell
A COMMUNITY patrol
electronic billboard road safety
initiative had to be altered
because it used the word police
in its signage.
Last month Selwyn Times
featured on its front page the initiative
which targets speed, cell
phone use and other road safety
messages on signs that were
rotated around the district.
Police were involved in the
project, advising the best locations
to put the electronic signs.
But Selwyn Community Patrol
secretary Murray Allison said
the district council “objected”
to it displaying “CPNZ [Community
Patrols of New Zealand]
POLICE INITIATIVE” as it
could be seen as advertising.
District council road safety
co-ordinator Peter Daly said the
screen was advertising and it
was “deemed to be distracting”
when it flashed between that and
the main message.
“The flashing of CPNZ would
also leave people wondering who
they are, taking the focus away
from the road,” Mr Daly said.
CPNZ district representative
for Canterbury Ann Smith said
the district council asked for the
screen to be removed. She said
there had been a communication
breakdown between the district
council and CPNZ and it was
unaware of some of the rules.
Mr Allison said it was also
asked to move a sign which it
had unknowingly placed next to
a school crossing, stick with the
original messages it was sent and
just use one screen.
“The whole point was to make
drivers look at it,” he said.
INTERNATIONAL
The six original messages,
which were provided by police,
were “Less speed, less harm”,
“Drink driving, it’s not worth it”,
“Focus on the road”, “Seatbelts
save lives”, “Wear a helmet” and
“Drive distraction free”.
Senior Sergeant Kelly Larsen
said she was not sure if the sign
was advertising, but the district
council feedback was “absolutely
justified” and made for a better
trial.
Mr Daly said it supports
the trial “as long as it is used

in a manner established by
long standing safe advertising
practise, delivering agreed
messaging.”
He said there are New Zealand
Transport Agency guidelines
it works to with any roadside
advertising safety messages.
Mr Allison said it made the
changes asked but he felt using
the supplied messages “defeated
the point of it.” He said there
will be a follow-up meeting
where “no doubt all of these
concerns will be aired.”

In Brief
LARGE SCRUB FIRE
Four crews from around Selwyn
contained a large scrub fire at
Karanga Rd subdivision on
Saturday night. Dunsandel chief
fire officer Ian Chatterton said
they were called at 7pm and it took
about three and a half hours to
extinguish. He said a crew stayed
overnight in case it reignited.
GOLF CLUB FUEL STOLEN
Police are investigating after
about 60-litres of fuel was stolen
from the Ellesmere Golf Club in
two incidents on Thursday and
Saturday nights. Constable Herb
Inwood said the golf club’s tank
was unlocked by thieves and
nearby containers were used to
carry the fuel. “Because of the price
of fuel, it’s sort of going to become
like cigarettes, they’re going to be a
saleable commodity,” he said.
WOOL SHED FIRE
Firefighters were called to contain
a fire in an old wool shed on
Hoskyns Rd in Rolleston early
Monday morning. Crews from
Rolleston, Lincoln and Burnham
attended the blaze which destroyed
the shed. Rolleston station officer
Phil Glen said they were called
just after midnight and it took
about three and a half hours to
extinguish.

Rugby stalwart to step down as Waihora club president
•From page 1
Mr Thornley, who was named
volunteer of the year at the
Canterbury and Crusaders Rugby
Awards in 2014, said it was time
for some fresh ideas.
“The club has grown so much
over the years and with the
new facilities and the playing
numbers strong, the time was
right.”
quite happy to pay for it.
If you going to pay something
and it is not as good or the same
you might question why you
would,” Mr Bowden said.
His views were backed by Selwyn
Netball Centre vice president
Lyn Miles who said the problem
is sports clubs are struggling with
ongoing costs and it coming back
to the players.
She said the only way the association
receives a lot of its money
is through its players.
Mrs Miles said she hadn’t
heard of the district wide charge
but she said Selwyn Netball pays
a ground fee annually to the
district council.
“They have got to make it
affordable,” she said.
Mr Thornley said he first came
to the club as a player at just fiveyears-old.
He said he was thrilled to see
the club producing players like
Mark Maitland and Harry Kirk
who were pushing to be part of
the Canterbury set-up.
“When you see players like that
starting to achieve their goals it’s
a great feeling.”
When Mr Thornley took on the
role in 1991, he said the job “was
full of long nights on the phone.”
“Now with social media, 95 per
cent of the work can be done over
email,” he said.
Mr Thornley said he was
always left enthused by a new
wave of players and families
each season and he credited this
and the support of his family for
keeping him in the role for so
long.
He said he would continue
to be actively involved in the
club and would mentor the new
committee during the transition.

chairman of the Ellesmere Rugby

Darfield Tennis Club
supports a uniform charge
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
A DARFIELD sports club is
supporting a potential districtwide
charge for clubs using
recreational reserves.
High costs to cover the club’s
rental, rates and outgoings is
continuing to put pressure on
the operation of the Darfield
Tennis Club.
President Rob Potts said it
would be “great” if the charge
could be brought in.
“We are forever fundraising
just to stay afloat. Although we
are not at a point of walking
away, we are struggling and if
membership should drop any
further, then it is a possibility,”
he said.
The club is expected to pay
about $3340 per year.
These costs are made up of
about $1250 for insurance, $340
for compliance costs, $750 for
ground fees, about $800 for
rates, $200 for water usage
The club receives $4000 per
year from memberships and
about one third of the money
goes to Malvern Canterbury
and NZ Tennis.
TOUGH GOING: The Darfield Tennis Club is supportive of
a potential district-wide charge for clubs using recreational
reserves in Selwyn.
It charges $135 per year for
memberships.
Mr Potts said the club provides
a “great community asset”
and the proposed costs are not
viable.
It believes a reasonable cost to
pay is between $0-$500 per year.
The other issue it is facing is
its membership has decreased
from more than 80 to 40 as a
result in an increase in overhead
expenses.
The issue began for the club
in 2005 when it agreed to move
NOW
from Almond Park to the Darfield
Domain.
At the time, the club discussed
a range of issues with the
district council including the
financial and siting charges it
would incur if it moved to the
domain.
It was decided the starting
charges would be based on a
peppercorn rent between $1-$5
alongside a $85 rent.
The district council confirmed
the Darfield Domain
would be classified as recreational
reserve land and it was
decided not to proceed with
a lease agreement as it would
need to be changed once the
land was re classified.
The club agreed it would shift
to the domain as it could build
a larger facility and by 2009
the clubrooms were built at the
Darfield Domain.
At that time the district council
informed the club its rent
would be increased from $5 to
$250 to “bring it into line with
other council leases.”
Following the February 22,
2011, earthquake insurance
cover increased due to new
insurance premiums and the
domain fee increased to $500
per annum.
In 2015 the club received
confirmation from the district
council the Darfield Domain
would be deemed as recreational
reserve.
As a result last year, the club
received an email from the
district council saying it was
expected to sign a lease and pay
about $800 for rates, $200 for a
water charge and an annual fee
of $500.

Councillors pay for sister cities trip
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
MAYOR SAM Broughton is
flying the Selwyn flag in China
and Japan.
But the cost for Mr Broughton
and his fellow elected representatives
to travel overseas has
come straight from their own
pockets.
The 20-day
trip is part of
the district
council’s
sister cities
programme
which aims
to promote
Sam
Broughton
co-operation,
cultural understanding
and economic development.
The trip began in Shandan
County, China, on Thursday
and Mr Broughton will travel
to Japan on Sunday to visit
Akitakita and Yubetsu.
Mr Broughton said his trip
will cost an estimated $7000 to
$8000.
Some of the costs in the itinerary
is covered by the hosts along
with some of the accommodation
being home-stay.
“Our sister city committee has
looked after these relationships
OPPORTUNITIES: Mayor Sam Broughton, district councillors and a community board
member have used their own money to attend a sister cities trip in China and Japan. Above
left – Shandan County, China, and Yubetsu, Japan.
and meeting face to face is an
important part of that relationship,”
Mr Broughton said.
While the opportunity
becomes available every three
years to travel to both countries,
this is Mr Broughton’s first trip
in spite of being on the district
council for eight years.
He said for future trips it may
be appropriate for the district
council to contribute to airfares.
The comparison, the
Christchurch City Council
makes a decision on the funding
of the trips.
Civic and international relations
manager Matt Nichols
said the mayor’s role as the city’s
representative secures access at a
senior level for business, education
and infrastructure.
As a result, companies such
as Christchurch International
Airport will often support the
mayor’s costs.
Mr Broughton will be accompanied
by Deputy Mayor Malcolm
Lyall and district councillor
Bob Mugford in China.
Malvern Community
Board member Karen Meares
will travel to Japan with Mr
Broughton along with Darfield
High School students and
teachers in Akitakita.
Mr Broughton said the itinerary
at each place is controlled by
the hosts.
There will be formal welcomes,
speeches, tours showcasing
landscapes and food as well
as a home-stay element giving
the opportunity to experience
how a family functions and how
homes run.
Mr Broughton will also visit
the Hiroshima Peace Memorial
Park and potentially Hokkaido
depending on its recovery following
the 6.7 magnitude
earthquake.
He is planning to discuss
further education links and how
the district council can grow
its business relationships with
China and Japan.

Petition can be factored in – Bland
• By Anan Zaki
DISTRICT councillor Jeff Bland
says it would be foolish to ignore
a petition against the proposed
Fulton Hogan quarry near
Weedons and Templeton.
A 4052-signature petition
against the planned quarry was
handed over to the district council
last Wednesday.
“It would be a foolish council
that didn’t take notice of the fact
that a number
of people have
expressed their
distaste for it,”
said Mr Bland,
who represents
the Selwyn
Central Ward.
Jeff Bland
But he said
the district
council “can’t do much” other
than acknowledge the petition,
until Fulton Hogan apply for
resource consent. Their application
is expected to be submitted
this month.
The proposed quarry is at a
170ha piece of land at Curraghs,
Dawsons, Jones and Maddisons
Rds.
Mr Bland said once the
resource consent application is
submitted, councillors can factor
in the petition.
“It’s not the council’s issue at
the moment,” he said.
Templeton Residents’ Association
chairman Garry Kilday said
the residents will now wait for
Fulton Hogan’s application.
“We’re waiting for Fulton
Hogan to do its thing.
“It’s now been passed to the
powers that be [district council]
and it will do its thing with it.
What happens after you hand
over a petition, I have no idea,”
Mr Kilday said.
The residents aim was to get
their voice heard, he said.
“Basically it’s just voicing
opinion, and you’re getting an
idea of how much groundswell
there is against that opinion,”
Mr Kilday said.
Earlier this month, he said
the support for the petition was
“massive” and it had signatures
from Australia and the United
States.

Mr Bland said that personally,
he is opposed to the quarry’s
location as he believed it was too
close to houses.
“I understand that Fulton
Hogan have got to have a
quarry. I understand that where
they are is really ideal for them
. . . it’s near the city, near the
motorway.
“But I think it’s just a bit close
to town [Templeton]” Mr Bland
said.

Funding for
Rolleston
Rugby Club
relocation
THE DISTRICT council has
offered a package of funding
assistance to relocate the rooms
of the Rolleston Rugby Club from
Rolleston Reserve to Foster Park.
The club is scheduled to vacate
its Rolleston Reserve site from
next year’s rugby season to make
way for the Rolleston Town
Centre development.
Under the terms of the existing
lease, the district council is
responsible for the cost of
relocating the clubrooms.
However, because the club is
looking at the option of building
a new facility at Foster Park, the
district council has agreed to
provide a grant of $250,000.
That funding is about the
equivalent of relocation costs,
as a contribution to the new
rooms.
The club requested an
additional loan to assist with
construction costs.
The district council has offered
to provide a loan of $150,000 to
support building the club’s new
facility.

Snake Creek restoration supported
Selwyn
Waihora
Water Zone
Committee
chairman
Allen Lim
writes
about the Snake Creek
restoration project now
under way which aims to
turn a lowland drain into a
living spring:
The Snake Creek restoration is
now well under way.
In less than the first year of
three, this project is already
showing us how much can be
achieved by agency collaboration
with strong community input.
Several organisations and
your zone committee are
supporting the Water and
Wildlife Habitat Trust as it seeks
to restore a significant tributary
of the Selwyn River/Waikirikiri
that comes out between our
favourite fords, Chamberlains
and Coes.
The zone committee is committed
to making Coes Ford
swimmable again – and projects
like Snake Creek are crucial to
achieving that goal.
At our meeting earlier this
month, North Canterbury Fish
& Game officer Emily Arthur-
Moore gave us a great insight
into how much had been done
and how the challenges of a
project like this are being successfully
tackled.
A drain with a declining ecosystem
is rapidly becoming an
excellent example of a restored
waterway offering increased biodiversity
and improved recreational
opportunities, while at the
same time retaining its function
for adjacent land users.
Riparian planting, woody
debris, boulders and weirs are
being used to recreate an ecosystem
that will support biodiversity
and bolster stream health.
An immediate challenge is the
amount of sediment coming in,
especially after heavy rain events.
Sediment traps and an outof-stream
detention basin are
helping to deal with this.
Another challenge is funding.
A number of organisations
have already contributed towards
the estimated $600,000 to
complete Snake Creek.
A crowd-funding programme
aims to attract $56,000 to restore
a section of Silverstream (the
Snake Creek project is part of
this), of which $11,000 has been
found so far.
Visit https://bit.ly/2l1ONQv
for more information.
Another way you can contribute
is by volunteering – there’s

get your hands dirty – emoore@

I look forward to providing
updates on this and other projects
in future.
In the meantime, don’t hesitate
to talk to your zone committee
or local zone team members –
you can call them on 0800 324

Also look out for information
on the pending zone committee

Land your dream job in music with a
industry-focused degree through MAINZ,
SIT, Southern Institute of Technology.
MAINZ offers degree-level study that sets
you up for success in the music and audio
industries.
The Bachelor of Audio Engineering and
Production is a three-year applied degree,
designed to equip graduates with the necessary
skills to work in the music and audio-related
industries in New Zealand and overseas.
Programme Leader, Dr Oliver Hancock
says the Bachelors degree programme is an

Young leader recognised
SELWYN YOUTH Council
chairwoman Paige Sullivan’s
leadership and work in the
community has been recognised
with a Young Totara Award.
She was presented the award
recently by the Lincoln Rotary
Club for her outstanding
contribution to youth -orientated
programmes within Selwyn and
throughout New Zealand.
The award is from Rotary
clubs and aims to encourage role
models throughout the country.
Miss Sullivan, a Lincoln High
School student, was nominated
by Lincoln Rotary Club member
Murray Allison.
He said the award publicly
recognises the positive achievements
of young people and their
significant contributions by
youth to the life and well-being
of their community.
The award is for people under
the age of 21.
The Rotary club has begun
planting totara trees to commemorate
each award it has
sponsored.
The trees were donated by the
Kiwiflora Nurseries. Mr Allison
said the Rotary club was very
grateful.
The trees were planted at the
Lincoln Wetlands on Ellesmere
Rd.
Earlier this year Lincoln
University student Libby Twist
planted the first tree.
Libby was nominated for a
and deeper education in audio and music
production.
“We’ve seen a lot of changes to the audio
industry in recent years, with advances in
technology and changes in the way it’s used.
MAINZ is ready to prepare graduates for this
rapidly evolving employment market.”
Across the three years of the degree students
will progress from first year to some elective
pathways in year two, to a more flexible third
year involving a capstone project.
As well as the core audio engineering and
electronic music production components,
elective courses include an increased focus on

Fire rages, homes at risk
Ant big predator to insects
Mike Bowie is an ecologist
who specialises in
entomology (insects
and other
invertebrates).
Each week he
introduces a
new species
found in his
backyard at
Lincoln. His column aims
to raise public awareness
of biodiversity, the variety
of living things around
us. Check out the full list
of invertebrates found at
http://naturewatch.org.
nz/projects/backyardbiodiversity-bugs-inlincoln
NEW ZEALAND has 41 species
of ants of which 11 are endemic
and 30 are introduced species.
This is very low diversity
compared to Australia which has
as many as 1500 species or subspecies.
The most widespread ant
species in New Zealand is
the endemic southern ant
(Monomorium antarcticum).
POPULAR: The most widespread ant species in the country is the endemic
southern ant.
It is 3-5mm long, but can vary
in colour between colonies from
orange, yellow, brown and black.
The ant species is a generalist
predator of small insects, but can
scavenge and feed on honeydew
from aphids, scale insects and
mealybugs.
Nests are made in soil under
stones, pavers, in or under logs,
and are common in gardens, but
do not forage inside houses.
Dispersing females are winged
and mate before discarding
wings and burrowing into
soil to establish a
new colony.
Showcasing
Selwyn culture
CULTUREFEST is coming –
and residents are being invited
to join the district council and
the Christchurch Multicultural
Council to celebrate Selwyn’s
growing diversity.
The event is now in its
third year with groups from
around the world showcasing
their culture through art,
performance, sport and food.
District council senior events
and recreation advisor Dave
Tippett said CultureFest is
one of the key actions that the
district council and partners
are undertaking as part of the
recently launched Welcoming
Plan.
“The Welcoming Plan provides
a focus for how we as a district
can include newcomers in
community life in Selwyn.”
“We recognise our district’s
growing diversity and celebrate
this with CultureFest. It’s
also a great way to learn more
about the people in your
neighbourhood – we encourage
everyone to come down and
attend this free event,” he said.
Visitors can sit back and enjoy
over 20 different performances
by groups from China, Latin the
United States, Russia, Poland,
Iran and many more. There will
also be cuisine from more than
15 different cultures including
Indian, Spanish, Bulgarian,
Nigerian, Malaysian, Moroccan,
Jordanian, Iranian, Russian and
Ukrainian.
For the first time ever, there
will be an Indian professional
sport being demonstrated –
Kabaddi. If you haven’t seen or
heard of it before, it can be best
described as a cross between
rugby and tag, but without a
ball.
Residents will also experience
arts, crafts, as well as activities to
participate in.
There is something for the
whole family to experience
including bouncy castles, Pedalmania,
music, games, henna
tattoos and much more.
CultureFest is presented by the
district council, in partnership
with the Christchurch
Multicultural Council.
•CultureFest takes place
on Sunday September 30,
at Lincoln Domain (Lincoln

Time for Selwyn
youth to BOOST
There’s a new youth event coming to Selwyn in the October school holidays.
Residents from 13 to 18 years of age are being invited to join the Selwyn Youth Council with
support from the Selwyn District Council in a fun, action-packed week of BOOST events.
Selwyn Youth Council Chairperson Paige Sullivan says the creation of the new youth event is in
response to feedback about a lack of things to do in Selwyn for teenagers, particularly during the
school holidays.
“We looked at the huge success of KidsFest, an event aimed at children under the age of 13
during the July school holidays, and thought we should be doing something like that for teenagers
in our district,” Paige says.
“BOOST isn’t just a way to fill in your holiday. It’s a chance to meet people, try something
completely new, or just relax and have fun – all without leaving our amazing district.”
BOOST 2018 is taking place during the October school holidays and will feature a broad range
of events, activities and workshops to entertain, empower and develop Selwyn’s youth. Some
of the events include graffiti art workshops, parkour training, 3X3 basketball competitions, yoga
sessions, circo arts and a hip hop workshop.
There are also five key events on offer: BOOST Speak – a TEDtalk style evening with three inspiring
speakers, BOOST Spook – a horror walk in Foster Park, BOOST Market – a youth market in the
Rolleston Community Centre, BOOST Splash – a pool party at the Selwyn Aquatic Centre and
BOOST Out – the grand finale featuring food trucks, a skate jam, graffiti art and live performances.
For more information and to register, go to selwyn.govt.nz/boost.
District Plan Review – are we on the right track?
Should our planning rules encourage more medium-density development, like semi-detached and
terraced dwellings and low-rise apartments?
Should we review the requirement that only family members can live in a family flat?
Should it be easier to set up a home-based business, as long as certain standards are met?
These are just a few of the questions that many Selwyn residents are currently giving us feedback on,
as part of our District Plan Review.
The District Plan is our ‘rule book’ that governs how people can use and develop land. For example, if
you own or rent a property, it regulates things like what kind of activities you can undertake, what type
of buildings can be located or whether you can operate a business and what kind.
The Plan has to be reviewed every 10 years, and we’re currently undertaking initial public consultation
on a number of key draft changes, to check whether we’re on the right track with the review so far.
Hundreds of people have already visited our website to look at the topics we’re reviewing, learn more
about the proposed changes and provide feedback or complete a survey.
Consultation is open until Monday 8 October and you can find out more at www.selwyn.govt.nz/
districtplanreview.
New Coes Ford gates to ensure
visitor safety
New gates have been installed at Coes Ford to help ensure the
safety of visitors to the area during high river flow events.
The Council has installed the gates after discussions with the local
fire chiefs and residents of the area who were concerned that many
visitors are unaware of the risks the Selwyn river poses during high
river flows.
Council Asset Manager Murray Washington says most locals are
well aware that significant amounts of rain in the foothills can lead
to high river flows in the Selwyn river, but that visitors to Selwyn are
often not attuned to the associated risks.
“Many local residents know that flooding at Coes Ford can occur
up to 12 hours after the rain has stopped in the foothills. However,
visitors to our district cannot be expected to know that.
“The river can rise without any sign of rain at Coes Ford. The
only way we can ensure visitors’ safety is by preventing them
from crossing the ford during times of high flows, and moving
them on from the camping area altogether during Civil Defence
emergencies,” Mr Washington says.
Mr Washington acknowledges that when the gates are closed, this
will mean locals will need to use alternative and often longer routes
to travel into Christchurch City or to other parts of the district. “We
understand that this could be an inconvenience and we thank local
residents in advance for their patience and support.”
The decision to close the Coes Ford gates will be based on
Environment Canterbury river flow data, and only if significant rain
in the foothills is likely to cause high and dangerous river flows.
Previously, during Civil Defence events, the camping areas of the
Coes Ford campground could be gated off, but the ford itself could
still be accessed.
Let your taste buds explore
the world
CultureFest is a fantastic opportunity to take a culinary trip around
the world.
The event will play host to food stalls from 15 different
nationalities; you will be able to buy Indian, Spanish, Bulgarian,
Nigerian, Malaysian, Moroccan, Jordanian, Iranian, Russian and
Ukrainian dishes.
There may be a few extra surprises as well.
Senior Events and Recreation Advisor Dave Tippett says
CultureFest provides a great opportunity to try food you may not
experience in your day to day life.
“This is a great chance to wander around, and snack on food from a
wide range of cultures,” Mr Tippett says.
Please check out our Facebook page “CultureFest 2018” for more
information on food that will be available, as well as competitions
leading into the 30 September event, being held at Lincoln Domain.

Darfield gracious over Super Rugby loss
• By Jacob Page
DARFIELD RUGBY Club
president Scott McIlroy has
congratulated Southbridge on
being named the host of the
Crusaders v Highlanders Super
Rugby pre-season game next
year.
Darfield hosted last year’s
Farmlands Cup fixture and
drew a crowd of 5500, including
then-Prime Minister Bill
English
But the Canterbury Rugby
Football Union’s insistence a
spectator mound be constructed
appears to have been Darfield’s
undoing.
McIlroy said in May,
constructing a mound on the
ground is not viable due to
summer sport use.
Southbridge, the home of All
Blacks great Dan Carter, will
host the game next year and
while a date has not been confirmed,
it will be prior to round
SPORTS
one on February 15.
“We knew several months
ago the game wasn’t going to be
coming back,” McIlroy said.
“It is a shame because the
club worked really hard to try to
make sure we had the event for
at least a couple of years but it’s
just one of those things.”
“We wish Southbridge all the
best in hosting it and it is at least
a positive that the game will
remain in the Ellesmere region.”
“At the end of the day the
facilities that we have are what
we have and trying to make one
game a year work to please the
Canterbury Rugby Union probably
isn’t in our best interests.”
“We’ll keep working hard to
make sure our facilities are good
for our members,” said McIlroy.
Southbridge president Hamish
Gilbert said he was delighted his
club would host the game.
“It is fantastic to see the
Crusaders bringing their preseason
game out into the rural
community, especially to a
part of Canterbury that has a
very long and proud history of
rugby,” he said.
“We look forward to hosting
this prestigious event and being
able to showcase our fabulous
facilities to the wider rugby
community.”
Country own worst enemy
TOUGH DAY: Canterbury Country handed back the Farmers
Cup to Otago Country after a 33-29 loss in Rangiora on Saturday.
• By Jacob Page
CANTERBURY Country were
their own worst enemies in a
33-29 loss to Otago Country in
Rangiora on Saturday.
Canterbury Country coach
Nigel Smith said poor passing
and an inability to look after the
ball for long enough meant the
Farmers Cup went south for the
summer.
“We didn’t make the most of
our good start,” Smith said. “We
were our own worst enemy and I
left feeling we lost the game more
than they won it.”
“We let six or seven
opportunities go begging and
that kept them in the game.”
Smith said despite the attacking
for much of the first half,
his team was only level 12-12 at
halftime.
“The dropped ball and the
passing issues we had cost us,”
he said.
A change at halftime saw
Glenmark replacement halfback
Jordy Gray score a crucial try and
the hosts had the advantage yet
again. More errors would follow
and Otago Country pounced.
“Their tries came against the
run of play and that was frustrating.”
Smith said both the scrum
and line out worked well and
provided a decent platform for
winning rugby.
He praised centre Rob Samson
who had made the shift into the
midfield from fullback.
“He had good footwork and
soft hands,” he said. “When he
tried to bust through the defensive
line he had a lot of success.”
Tight head prop Patrick Clegg
was another who impressed with
his work-rate at scrum time and
around the park.
“He’s had a big season for us,”
Smith said.
“He’s done his scrummaging
work really well but it’s been his
ball carrying which has been a
big improvement in his game.”
Canterbury Country will finish
their representative season with a
game against Canterbury Maori
at Linfield Park on Saturday.
The kick-off time is yet to be
confirmed.

Greenpark A’s straight
shooting netball coach
Karen Ponsonby has
tasted Selwyn netball
success yet again this
year. Sports reporter
Jacob Page finds out
how netball goes
hand-in-hand with her
rural lifestyle and why
her summer weekends
can be just as busy as
her winter ones
Proud supporters of
Rugby & Netball in Selwyn
Doing it for the love of the game
What was your first memory of
netball?
We were a really sporty family
of eight boys and five girls. I’m
the youngest girl and four boys
are younger than me. We had a
team for any occasion. My older
sisters used to play netball in
Waimate, so I would follow them
to the courts.
How did your netball playing
days progress?
I played in Waimate then for
Waimate High School and St
Pat’s in Timaru as a defender,
usually a wing defence. I made
the South Canterbury Country
team for the first time in 1969.
That was a composite team from
Waimate, Fairlie and Twizel,
which went to the nationals in
those days.
What got you into coaching?
I had bad knees from playing
the game on the concrete courts.
I had one knee replacement two
years ago and will need another
one soon. When I left South
Canterbury I started coaching
the Dunsandel A team in 1987
and enjoyed it. I was made a life
member there in 2007.
When did your association
with Greenpark begin?
I came to Greenpark in 2002
and started coaching their
premier team. We have had a
fair bit of success over that time.
We won the Selwyn competition
in 2003, 2004, 2006, 2010, 2011
and of course, this year. The girls
don’t train during the week and
to be honest, I felt quite guilty
about winning the final like we
did because Broadfield was the
better team leading up to the
final. We don’t have a manager
and I have to find out which one
of their friend’s turns up so we
have a primary carer. It’s a tough
way to coach, I’m just fortunate
we have a lot of good readers of
the game out on court.
What’s the most enjoyable
thing about netball for you?
I do it for the love of the game.
What about your children?
One of my daughters is the
deputy principal at Waimate
High School which shows you
what a small world it is. While
the other still plays netball in the
Greenpark A team.
What do you do for a job?
My husband Leo and I have
been running Greenacres Fibre
Processing. We have 300 to 400
black and coloured sheep and
their wool is used in a lot of craft
work. We also export the wool to
places like Japan and Russia. It’s
something we’ve been involved
in for the last 30 years.
What makes a good fleece of
wool?
It comes down to good food,
good grass and good soil but a lot
of that is quite technical.
What do you do in your spare
time?
I used to play lawn bowls in
the summer, but I struggle to
get down on my knee now. We
do a lot of wool showing and
that takes up a lot of our time
on Saturdays and to be honest, it
takes me all summer to get over
the netball season.
Do you plan on returning
next year to coach Greenpark
A?
I think I’ve got another year
in me. We need another goal
shooter but we have our eye

on someone. I’ve often
mentioned to the girls about
dropping down to the masters
grade but most of them tell me
they’d rather retire than play in
that grade. My daughter played
in the team but swears to me the
final was her last game so maybe
I can retire and she can take over
or I could become our primary
carer.
How is the club going?
I think we are the only team
representing Greenpark and
that’s been part of the reason I’ve
stuck around and some of the
girls have done the same thing.
I’d like to see the club keep
going.

Netball South Pacific Island
Rolleston Samoa Experience October 2018
The team donating netball supplies
to Netball Samoa in 2013.
The Rolleston Netball Golden Oldies
are supporting a third team of nine
young netball ladies on a cultural
experience to Samoa. The girls
have been together for a year now,
working to raise money for the trip.
They have had to run meetings,
take minutes, plan fundraisers, keep
budgets, and source donations of
netballs, umpires tees, old netball
uniforms and stationery supplies.
While in Samoa they will initially
stay in Apia working with Netball
Samoa helping out at several
netball coaching and umpiring
clinics. They will also play the
national Under 14 side along with
other local teams. They will then
travel to the big island of Savaii (a
trip in itself!) staying in the village
of Fagamalo. While there they will
attend a traditional church service
and Sunday school, and also spend
the day at Fagamalo Primary School.
The remainder of the trip will be
back in Apia attending school at
Samoa College, St Mary’s College
and the Peace Chapel Primary
School.
Leanne, the team manager, is
excited to be returning to her old
school Samoa College but is pinning
her hope on the Rolleston girls to
win the challenge netball game!
The Golden Oldies themselves have
enjoyed several netball festivals
both locally and overseas and
are looking forward to sharing
some of the same netball
fellowship experiences with
the girls.
The Samoan experience will
also reinforce the value of
iNSPIRE about being generous,
being part of a team and being
grateful.
The team would like to thank the
generosity of their sponsors and the
community who have supported
the many fundraisers. Special thanks
too to those who have donated
stationery goods, teacher resources,
umpire tops, netball uniforms &
netball equipment.

Rush satisfied with
19th on world stage
• By Jacob Page
WORKING HARD:
Rolleston triathlete
Reece Rush comes
through the run transition
on his way to 19th in
his age-group at the
under-19 World Triathlon
Grand Final race, on the
Gold Coast,
PHOTO: ROB RUSH
PROMISING Rolleston
triathlete Reece Rush
might find inspiration in
his laundry for his next
race.
The 16-year-old Lincoln
High School student said
the start of the under-19
World Triathlon Grand
Final race, on the Gold
Coast, “felt like being in a
washing machine” and it
was something he would
need to work on.
Rush, the youngest competitor
in the field finished
19th in a time of 1hr 1min
2sec in the 16 to 19-yearold
category on Thursday.
He swam for 750m, cycled
for 20km and finished
with a 5km run.
“I wasn’t used to having
70 other starters to contend
with in the water,” he said.
“I was bumped around
with a lot of arms and
elbows.”
Rush has a cut above his
eye from a stray elbow during
the swim.
He said after coming out
of the water in the middle
of the field, he was able to
make up some ground during
the bike leg.
It was the 25 deg C temperatures
and race fatigue
which caught up to Rush
on the second leg of the
run.
“I didn’t have the legs to
maintain the speed that I
wanted but the heat played
a big part in that, coming
out of the New Zealand
winter made for challenging
conditions,” he said.
“There were some dark
moments in the run when
the body started to hurt but
I just tried to push on as
best I could.”
Rush said he would work
on trying to make cleaner
starts and try to build up
his endurance on the bike
for the upcoming New
Zealand season.
“I think the swim leg
caught me off-guard a little
bit so that will be a focus
but for my first big international
event I was happy
with how the race went,”
he said.
Rush will compete at the
New Zealand Secondary
Schools’ Road Cycling
Championships at the
end of this month and
would contest the Pak’n
Save Triathlon Festival in
November.

FINALLY, spring has
arrived, much to the delight
of gardeners around the
country.
Although September can
more often than not be
a wet and windy month,
temperatures are on the
rise, producing signs of
spring throughout the
garden.
Vege garden
Time for the final harvest
and removal of winter
maturing vegetables. By
staggering planting times,
these vegetables have
hopefully supplied your
kitchen with continuous
food over winter.
Where conditions allow,
for example, soil is not too
wet and the temperature
is rising, you can plant
the ‘hardier’ summer
vegetables. These include
asparagus, beetroot,
cabbage, cauliflower,
carrots, onion, radish,
silverbeet and spinach.
Improve existing
vegetable plots by adding
generous amounts of
compost before planting
new seasons vegetables.
Maintain a wary eye for
slugs and snails as they will
rapidly emerge in search of
tasty seedlings.
Flowering annuals
Time to prepare your
summer flower garden as
winter annuals are finishing
flowering. It’s a little early
for planting traditional
summer annuals, but
there are a number that
‘transcend’ this typical
growing season such
as alyssum, calendulas,
cornflower, lobelia,
nemesia, pansies and violas.
If you want to grow your
own summer flowering
annuals from seed, sow
them now in specific seed
raising mix and water
regularly to ensure even
germination. Seedlings
should be mature enough
for transplanting into the
garden approximately six to
eight weeks after sowing.
Bulbs
Carefully mark the
position of your late winter/
early spring flowering
bulbs if you want to grow
other plants in the same
area over the summer
months. Where bulbs are
flowering well, allow them
to naturalise in the garden.
This applies especially to
crocus, freesias, hyacinths,
iris, lachenalias, narcissus
and watsonias.
Fruit trees
In warmer areas, citrus
are still producing masses
of sweet fruit. Stone
fruit, apricots, cherries,
nectarines, peaches and
plums are all in full bloom,
as are pip fruit, apples
and pears. Hopefully,
weather conditions allow
for successful pollination
by bees, with sunny days
and no strong winds. Early
strawberry varieties are
now beginning to set fruit,
especially in warmer parts
of the country. Maintain a
good mulch of pea straw
or hay around the plants to
help keep the berries clean
and healthy.
Roses
Apply compost around
the base of existing and
new plants as it’s beneficial
for the plant’s health.
Commence fertiliser
applications from early
October onwards.
BRING
ON THE
WARM
WEATHER!
The weather the past week has been
delightful, but we need to remember
that the spring weather can be unsettled
through this month. Good gardeners are
patient gardeners and know that timing is
key. Be mindful that we can still get frosts
so don’t race out and plant seeds in the
garden just yet. Make sure that seedlings
are well protected, and that you only plant
things that are suitable for our climate. If
you have a greenhouse, or a sunny spot
inside you can raise seeds in Seed Raising
Mix in preparation for planting out the
seedlings later in the season.

Creating a raised veggie garden
If you are starting from scratch use our veggie garden
mix, it is designed to be planted straight into as it
has all the necessary nutrients needed to encourage
healthy growth and development.
For established gardens now is the time to dig
through some compost and some fertiliser. If you
prefer a more organic approach then use sheep
pellets or blood and bone.
What to grow, lettuce, carrots, beetroot, onions,
celery, broccoli, peppers, coriander, beans, spinach,
spring onions, peas.
Growing from seeds, use our seed raising mix to
raise seeds such as, carrots, radishes, peppers, peas,
silverbeet, chillies, tomatoes, cucumbers.

Turbocharged boost
for Hyundai Kona
• By Ross Kiddie
HYUNDAI New Zealand
has been well served by
an extensive sport utility
vehicle range.
For many years it has had
Santa Fe, IX crossover, and
Tucson, all have sold with
considerable success in
New Zealand. Not a company
to rest on its laurels,
Hyundai realised the need
to explore other segments
of the SUV market, and
just recently a newcomer
landed – the Kona.
The Kona is a small SUV,
not tiny, but it is a car for
those who like to travel
light. It arrives here in two
four-cylinder petrol engine
variations a 2-litre normally
aspirated unit and a
1.6-litre turbocharged unit.
The latter arrives with fourwheel-drive,
the 2-litre
model is front wheel-drive
only.
Prices start at $31,990 for
the 2-litre, an extra $5000
will buy you into a high
grade Elite version, while
the turbocharged models
sit at $36,990 and $41,990
(Elite). At the time of print,
Hyundai New Zealand has
just launched a fully electric
Kona, pricing for the
EV is yet to be announced
The subject of this
evaluation is the Elite turbo
which drives through a
seven-shift dual clutch
automatic gearbox.
Hyundai claims 130kW at
just 5500rpm, if you add
in 265Nm all of the way
from 1500rpm to 4500rpm,
it’s easy to fathom out how
free-revving and willing the
engine is through the midrange.
That also has a complementary
effect on fuel
usage. Rated at 6.7-litre per
100km (42mpg), the Kona
HYUNDAI KONA: Normally-aspirated or
turbocharged engine option.
• Price – Hyundai Kona
Elite turbo, $41,990
• Dimensions – Length,
4165mm; width,
1800mm; height,
1565mm
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,
front-wheeldrive,
1591cc, 130kW,
265Nm, six-speed
automatic.
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 8sec
• Fuel usage –
6.7l/100km
is a bit of a fuel miser; well,
at around 1500kg there’s
not a lot of weight to drag
around, so that is also beneficial.
Against the stopwatch
the Kona turbo will cut
out a standstill to 100km/h
time of 8sec, and will leap
through a highway overtake
in 4.8sec.
The Kona feelts taut and
tightly connected to the
road through the steering.
That’s an attribute I rate
highly in any car, and it
doesn’t disappoint. A lot of
that is due to its compact
stature, the Kona is agile
and nimble. Of course,
four-wheel-drive adds in
a lot of natural grip, the
Kona feels sedan-like with
its handling and comes
without the cost of suspension
firming.
Occupant comfort is high,
the spring and damper rates
are a balanced compromise,
the Kona has suspension
which deals to all road
surfaces with positive
absorption. In comparison
to its 2-litre stablemate,
the four-wheel-drive
version has to have a fully
independent rear end and
that provides good freedom
of movement at the rear,
something that hampers the
front-wheel-drive version
ever so slightly.
That aside, the Kona in
both forms still has my seal
of approval. In Elite form it
wants for nothing in terms
of specification, it has a
high level of fitment.
Personally, I’d opt for
the non-Elite model, I’m
more of a cloth trim fan as
opposed to leather, but that
is a personal preference.
However, in all forms
the Kona is a worthy
addition to the Hyundai
stable.

stringent border controls
New Zealand Pork is calling for greater border protection against the
spread of African swine fever (ASF), a deadly pig disease sweeping
through China and Eastern Europe.
New outbreaks of the disease, which has
no effective treatment or vaccine, have
been reported recently in China – home to
half of the world’s population of pigs. The
disease has also been expanding through
Eastern Europe since 2014, where it first
spread from Lithuania to Poland and
Estonia. New outbreaks this year have been
reported in Russia, Romania and Hungary.
A 10th EU country – Bulgaria – has
reported the disease this month. Officials
in Denmark, one of Europe’s leading pork
exporters, have expressed concern that it is
“only a matter of time” before ASF reaches
their country.
While the disease presents no risk to
humans, it is devastating to local pig
populations and the commercial industry.
Often fatal in pigs, once the disease is
detected, entire herds need to be culled
to prevent further spread of the infection.
African swine fever can also be passed on
through infected meat – it can survive for
years in frozen carcases – and spread from
clothing, boots and soil.
NZ Pork chair Eric Roy says the industry
is asking for the Government to step up
surveillance of the spread of the disease
and consider more stringent controls of
pork imported from affected countries.
“New Zealand imports considerable
quantities of pigmeat from the EU where
the disease continues to spread,” Mr Roy
says.
“With the way the disease spreads, we
are particularly concerned about the risk
of African swine fever arriving in this
country through infected meat from many
of the regions which currently export pig
meat products to New Zealand.
“This would have a potentially
devastating effect on the local commercial
industry, which generates over $750
million per year for the local economy.”
Almost 60 per cent of pork consumed
in New Zealand is imported from over
25 countries around the world, including
China, Poland and Estonia, as well as
Denmark and Spain. So far in 2018, almost
53,000 kilograms of pork products were
imported to New Zealand from China,
including a small amount classified as
dried product – of particular concern as
the ASF virus in these products might
not have been inactivated through the
treatment process.
“The major risk to our industry is that
infected meat gets into the lifestyle or
para-commercial pig population through
the feeding of uncooked food scraps, a
practice that is banned but can still occur
when hobby farmers are unaware of the
risks. Our wild population could also come
into contact with food waste, which is a
major problem in Europe.”
At least one outbreak in Europe was
traced to sausage meat left behind after a
roadside picnic.
“This sort of occurrence is completely
outside the control of our farmers, and
yet an African swine fever outbreak could
potentially wipe out our local industry, if it
was to spread from the hobby farm or feral
pig population,” Mr Roy says.
The vast majority of official notifications
of ASF being made to the World
Organisation for Animal Health by
countries involved in the current outbreak
of the disease in Eastern Europe declare
the source of the outbreak to be ‘unknown
or inconclusive’.
“This is particularly important given that
New Zealand is trading pork with the EU
sector under virtually identical rules that
apply to inter-EU trade – standards which
have done nothing to stop the continuing
spread of the disease through Europe,” Mr
Roy says.

A lush new
BEFORE
lawn will set
off your home
These
Whether it’s an established property or a new build,
nothing sets off a home quite like a lush, green lawn.
And with the arrival of spring, now is the right time of
year to establish a new lawn, advises Zac and Ashley
Swale of Canterbury Lawns.
The company specialises in two types of new lawn
– hydroseeding and roll-out Lush Lawn. The efficient
and cost-effective hydroseeding method is a sprayon
application of water, grass seed, wood fibre mulch,
fertiliser, and a ‘tackifier’, which holds it all together as
the seed grows. Within four to six weeks, providing
conditions are right, your grass will be well on the way
to becoming your pride and joy.
Fundamental to achieving those results, however,
are firstly the preparation, and secondly, adequate and
correct watering. Zac’s decade of experience in the
road construction and landscaping sectors ensures the
ground will be prepared correctly for the hydroseeding
to be successful, and for the watering, he recommends
having an automated irrigation system installed, as it
is more convenient and uses less water than manual
watering. He works closely with Rolleston-based
Freeman Irrigation, plus he offers comprehensive
advice on maintaining the lawn.
For situations where lawn is required immediately,
Zac and his team at Canterbury Lawns will install
roll-out Lush Lawn, and again will advise on care and
maintenance to keep it looking its best.
In addition to supplying the lawn, Canterbury Lawns
can take care of all your landscaping requirements
including pathways, decking, fencing and garden
preparation, ensuring you will have a property to be
proud of, and where you can enjoy entertaining family
and friends throughout the warmer months.
As well as residential work, Canterbury Lawns also
supplies lawn and landscaping services for commercial
premises. Ashley and Zac live locally and enjoy
providing professional services to beautify properties
for residents and businesses across Christchurch and
the Canterbury region.

Enhance your property
with a cool new pool
On those hot, dry summer days and balmy
evenings we are lucky enough to enjoy in Canterbury,
nothing beats the pleasure of cooling off in the pool
– especially if it’s just a few steps away in our own
back yard.
And we don’t need a lifestyle block to accommodate
a pool. Pool specialists Lagoon Pools install pools
from three metres to 12 metres in length and in a
range of widths, making it possible to find something
to suit everyone’s requirements, both in size and in
use, and they will come to your property and advise
on size, type and location.
“Large pools are great when there is a bigger space
but small pools are also very popular,” says director
Julie Hastings, who owns and operates the company
with husband Warren.
As she explains, a smaller pool can still be used for
exercise as well as relaxing, while adding features can
further enhance the area.
“Our pools become a focal point all year round
with pool lighting, fountains etc., which can also be
added.”
Any pool can transform the outdoor area into
a further living space and provide a special, idyllic
place to enjoy some quality time, Julie says.
“We are all so busy these days that having space
in your own home to completely relax as well as
entertain family and friends is the ideal.”
The pools take around five days to install and the
Lagoon
Pools
03 349 2160

finishing touches take four to eight weeks, depending
on the different designs.
Lagoon Pools can take care of just the pool
installation, or they can offer the whole package and
finish the complete job.
“It is always satisfying to see the project through
from concept to finish – we can turn a vision into
reality,” Julie says.
Pools can be installed all year round, not
just in spring and summer, so to enquire about
having a new pool installed when the time is
right for you, contact Lagoon Pools, phone
0800 927 282 or 349 2160, and for more information,

Restoring your home
to sparkling condition
While spring-cleaning is often thought of
as an ‘inside job’, sprucing up the outside
of our properties is equally important,
not just for appearance purposes, but also
for maintaining the property’s value, and
saving on costly repair work down the
track.
And that’s where Kleenwash Property
Services (KWPS) come into the picture.
As owner Phillip Fisher says, for most of us
our home is our most valuable asset, so we
need to look after it and take pride in it. A
well maintained home will hold its value,
and also help meet insurance requirements,
he says.
KWPS offers a wide range of services to
restore home and outdoor areas to sparkling
condition, such as gutter cleaning, moss
treatments, silicone sealing, roof coatings,
house soft wash, window cleaning, pest
control, swimming pool cleaning and
painting, water-blasting and anti-graffiti
treatments.
Pest control is another of the professional
services their customers appreciate, Phillip
says. They include control of spiders and

flies – both inside and outside the home.
To keep tile, Colorsteel® or corrugated
iron roofs in good condition, KWPS
provides treatments for moss, lichen and
algae, and will also clean guttering up
to 15 metres high. They also treat moss,
lichen and algae on paths, patios, decks and
fences. This three-stage treatment includes
growth inhibitor and a silicone sealer that
lasts for two years.
Homeowners with the DIY spirit may
feel they can tackle some of these jobs
themselves, but as Phillip points out, this
can be risky for those with no experience.
“Life is too short to take risks,” he says,
“and there’s no need to. Our professional
staff are fully trained in all aspects of
health and safety and they all hold Site Safe
passports.”
All KWPS services are guaranteed, and
discounts are offered for senior citizens
and for customers that have more than
one service carried out on the same day.

Choose your new carpet in
your home surroundings
Recarpeting your home may be one of the
biggest undertakings you as a homeowner
will make when it comes to updating the
décor.
It’s one thing to view carpet and hard
flooring samples in a shop; it’s another to
have the samples brought to you where
they can be viewed in your own home,
surrounded by your own furniture and
colour schemes.
That is the advantage Harrisons Carpet
brings to the market. Their mobile carpet
retailers are available seven days a week to
bring a wide range of flooring samples to
your home.
For five years, Amanda Wilson has
owned and operated Harrisons Carpet
Canterbury Country, covering the Selwyn
District. The combination of the quality
flooring products Harrisons supplies, and a
genuine interest in her clients, has Amanda
loving what she does.
“It’s a real privilege to be invited into
people’s homes,” she says, “and the trust
they put in me.”
Initial consultations are done over the
phone, or online at the Harrisons website
(www.harrisonscarpet.co.nz), and a
mutually convenient time is scheduled for
Amanda to come to you.
“I’ve grown to really enjoy the Selwyn
District. It’s a beautiful office to work from.”
With laser technology and smart devices,
measuring and quoting is a simple, quick
process, done on the spot for you. Carpet
is chosen, arrangements are made to
move furniture – you can do it yourself,
or Harrisons offers a competitively
priced service – and the installation takes
place. This is usually carried out over no
more than one or two days, as quickly
and conveniently as possible, with fully
qualified, professional installers.
As part of her service, Amanda is
always available to offer advice and tips,
suggestions on décor, and you have the
satisfaction of knowing you are buying
from a local business owner.
There is a wealth of information on the
Harrisons website, including detailed
profiles of the flooring products available,
regular specials to help with budgets, a
buying guide with important questions to
ask yourself, details about guarantees and
warranty, and several finance options with
leading New Zealand lenders.

Irrigation
vital in hot,
dry weather
SELWYN TIMES
Phil Hudson installing an irrigation system
With the Metservice forecasting a long,
hot summer for Canterbury, homeowners
will want to make full use of their outdoor
areas to entertain family and friends,
so having lawns and gardens in tip-top
condition will be a priority.
Phil Hudson of Freeman Irrigation
advises that spring is the best time to have
maintenance work done on irrigation
systems so they are in good working order
to meet summer demand. This will also
prevent the inconvenience and additional
costs of having landscaping repaired if
problems are discovered and need fixing
during summer.
“Some irrigation system problems are
easily fixed, but they have to be identified
to be repaired,” Phil says, “so now is the
ideal time to book in for maintenance and
servicing.”
The most important part of keeping an
irrigation system in good working order
is having regular maintenance done on the
sprays, rotors and solenoid valves, Phil says.
Some of the basic problems commonly
encountered are:
• Clogged sprinklers
• Leaking sprinklers and valves
• Obstructed sprinklers
• Leaking/blocked solenoid valves
• Overspray onto footpaths, streets or
buildings
• Design problems
• Missing nozzles
• Pipe leaks or breaks
Smart controls for irrigation systems are
convenient for homeowners, and many
people have been asking about those, Phil
says.
“We have a range of smartphone
controllers and rain sensors that can be
fitted to most systems, allowing you to have
easy control from anywhere.
“Also, if you wish to save money and
conserve water, a good rain sensor is an
affordable solution. We can supply and
fit the Wireless Rain-Clik Sensor that
automatically shuts off your sprinkler
system, so you don’t have to worry if you
are away from home when it rains.”
As well as playing a key role in the
local economy, Phil also supports the
community. He has recently
donated and installed an
irrigation system at Rolleston
College, where the students
are developing a vegetable
and fruit tree garden, with the
focus on sustainability.
The Cancer Society has
also had an irrigation system
installed in the grounds of
its new Rolleston building,

Open up
your home
to summer
Enjoying your outdoor living areas and
increasing air flow through the home on
hot summer days is easy when there are
bi-fold doors or triple sliders.
With the doors folding into one another,
bi-folds allow part or all of a space to be
opened, and as they are slim line they only
take up a small space when slid across, with
the rally wide opening letting the outdoors
into your living room.
Triple sliders also have a generous
opening and are great where there is
limited deck space or a smaller courtyard.
These pick-up sliders operate on a system
where the first panel slides in behind the
second, picking it up and sliding both in
behind the third panel for a seamless twothirds
opening.
The advantages of bi-fold doors and triple
sliders is the large glass area that allows
the sun to warm up the house in winter
as double glazing holds the heat in while
keeping it out in summer.
Bi-fold doors and triple sliders are two
of the most popular aluminium joinery
doors produced by Ultimate Design and
Renovation, who manufacture aluminium
joinery to suit the style and size of any
home. They also offer the option of low-e
glass, which has an insulated spacer bar and
is filled with argon gas ensuring better heat
retention, less condensation and reduced
solar gain.
Ultimate Design and Renovation also
produce bi-fold and sliding windows,
windbreaks and conservatories, while
their casement windows are a real winner.
These tall, skinny windows can be opened
to a 90-degree angle providing excellent
ventilation. Many of their customers have
been choosing sliding windows for their
kitchens, due to their generous opening,
which is ideal for handing food out to the
barbecue area and bringing fresh air into
the kitchen.
Trapping the sun while blocking the wind
and keeping dry from the rain is easily
achieved with a conservatory or windbreak
wall or roof. You can have a Therma-panel
roof (a strong yet lightweight product),
have full glass, or choose to have some glass
panels to allow light through. Windbreaks
protect from the elements, making them
great in inclement, warm weather when you
would rather be outside. All are customdesigned
to suit the architecture of the
house, whether it’s a modern or character
home.
Unlike conservatories, not all windbreaks
need building consent (size and their siting
is relevant). An Ultimate Design and
Renovation consultant will be happy to call
and advise you on council regulations, and
can even look after the consenting process
– just another way the company takes the
stress away when you are making those
structural changes around your home.
Ultimate Design and Renovation have
three full-time professional and efficient
installing teams so there are no delays
waiting for contractors. Give them a call
on 03 349 8951, email office@udr.co.nz,
