Playgrounds<br />
getting<br />
equipment<br />
safety<br />
upgrades<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
PLAYGROUNDS identified<br />
as having safety issues across<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> are in the process of being<br />
repaired.<br />
The district council is upgrading<br />
playground equipment at domains<br />
including Courtenay, Sheffield and<br />
Waihora.<br />
It comes after a report on<br />
playgrounds across the district,<br />
highlighting equipment in need of<br />
repairs, was compiled in July.<br />
The report was discussed at the<br />
district council’s property committee.<br />
Reserves operations manager<br />
Jonathan Crawford said the majority<br />
of the playground equipment<br />
needing upgrades has since been<br />
repaired.<br />
Key issues were identified at<br />
playgrounds at the Courtenay,<br />
Sheffield and Waihora domains.<br />
The district council manages<br />
more than 70 playgrounds across<br />
the district.<br />
Seven playground items rated<br />
“very poor” and 37 were “poor”.<br />
Mr Crawford said when the<br />
report came out all affected committees<br />
were sent a copy of the material<br />
relevant to their playgrounds.<br />
But the report bench-marked<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> as having an 80 per cent<br />
compliance for its playgrounds.<br />

NEWSPAPERS SHOULD go into bat for<br />
their communities. Stick up for the little<br />

Star Media (publisher of the <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

We pulled no punches when there was a chance child killer<br />
Peter Joseph Holdem could have been paroled a few years ago.<br />
Keep him in jail, we said.<br />
We forced the Christchurch City Council to do a U-turn over<br />
its decision to close suburban libraries. We fought BP (and won)<br />
when they gave residents the bird in Edgeware. We fought to the<br />
end over the hospital park and ride debacle.<br />
And now success in West Belt, Lincoln (page 4). The district<br />

Make-up of quarry<br />
advisory group questioned<br />
• By Anan Zaki<br />
RESIDENTS LIVING near a<br />
proposed Fulton Hogan quarry<br />
are now questioning the<br />
make-up of the company’s<br />
community advisory group.<br />
Inquiries by <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong><br />
have revealed one member of the<br />
advisory group lives 3km from<br />
the proposed 170ha quarry site,<br />
bordering Curraghs, Dawsons,<br />
Jones and Maddisons Rds.<br />
Curraghs Rd resident Simon<br />
Moore, who lives 600m from the<br />
quarry site, slammed the inclusion<br />
of the member.<br />
“What a farce. How can that<br />
person be affected at all?” Mr<br />
Moore said.<br />
Ian Walsh, lives 3km south-east<br />
of the proposed quarry site and is<br />
one of the seven members in the<br />
advisory group. He refused to talk<br />
to the <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong>.<br />
Fulton Hogan said immediate<br />
neighbours are part of the advisory<br />
group. But Fulton Hogan<br />
refused to disclose who and what<br />
organisations are on the advisory<br />
group or comment on whether<br />
they regarded Mr Walsh as an<br />
immediate neighbour.<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> is aware the<br />
Weedons Residents’ Association<br />
is part of the group.<br />
The company did not invite all<br />
immediate neighbours to be part<br />
of the group.<br />
Mr Moore said his neighbours<br />
who are immediate neighbours<br />
have not heard of the advisory<br />
group.<br />
Said Fulton Hogan South<br />
Island manager Craig Stewart:<br />
“The group’s composition came<br />
about from neighbours and local<br />
residents’ inquiries and conversations<br />
with Fulton Hogan about<br />
our proposed quarry.”<br />
Mr Stewart said discussion<br />

with the advisory group is part<br />
of the company’s “on-going process<br />

of the resource consent<br />
application.<br />
Mr Moore said it was concerning<br />
that the advisory group’s<br />
consultation could be used in<br />
preparing the company’s resource<br />
consent application.<br />
“If somebody is 3km away,<br />
who can’t even see it or hear the<br />
damn thing, how on earth can<br />
they have any constructive input<br />
into it at all?” he said.<br />
“It’s so farcical, that it’s unbelievable.”<br />
Mr Moore challenged more<br />
members of the advisory group<br />
to come forward and make<br />
themselves known to Templeton<br />
and Weedons locals.<br />
The Weedons Residents’ Association<br />
is part of the group. Association<br />
secretary Gary Doyle said<br />
the meetings did not provide<br />
new detail about the quarry.<br />
The Templeton Residents’<br />
Association refused to be part of<br />
the group, saying Fulton Hogan<br />
should speak to all residents, not<br />
a select group.<br />

Repairs for playgrounds<br />
WORK IN PROGRESS: The<br />
Sheffield Domain playground<br />
is in the process of being<br />
upgraded after it was<br />
identified as needing repairs<br />
in a district-wide report.<br />
•From page 1<br />
It said <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s playgrounds<br />
were in “very good” condition,<br />
with high levels of use and good<br />
maintenance.<br />
At Courtenay Domain, the<br />
playground’s see-saw was closed<br />
and swing was in poor condition.<br />
Mr Crawford said Courtenay<br />
playground is still cordoned off.<br />
At the Sheffield Domain, the<br />
report identified the fibreglass<br />
slide as being cracked and broken<br />
while the swings and timber<br />
edge were in poor condition.<br />
The Sheffield Domain is in<br />
the progress with the Sheffield/<br />
Waddington Reserve Board<br />
Committee of getting fixed.<br />
For the playground at<br />
Waihora Domain, the boat was<br />
in poor condition and the tree<br />
house had many broken parts<br />
that needed to be repaired.<br />
The Rolleston Domain playground<br />
also had a number of<br />
compliance and maintenance issues<br />
while the fitness equipment<br />
at Prebbleton Domain were of a<br />
poor quality.<br />
Mr Crawford said the district<br />
council is very pleased with the<br />
feedback it received.<br />
“The report was very complimentary<br />
describing it as some of<br />
the best quality of stock in New<br />
Zealand,” he said.<br />
District councillor Pat McEvedy<br />
said not a lot of remedial<br />
work was required because such<br />
a high per percentage of playgrounds<br />
that are compliant and<br />
in good order.<br />
“I am really pleased about<br />
that, we have a lot of playgrounds,”<br />
he said.<br />
It is estimated <strong>Selwyn</strong> has<br />
about eight playgrounds per<br />
1000 children under the age of<br />
15.<br />
Compared to the rest of the<br />
country there is a median of<br />
three playgrounds per 1000<br />
children.<br />

RELIEF IS in sight for residents<br />

The district council began<br />
fixing an unsealed part of West<br />

Ratepayers off the hook over stadium<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
Sam Broughton<br />
SELWYN community groups<br />
and ratepayers are pleased they<br />
will not need to fork out for<br />
Christchurch’s planned sports<br />
and events arena.<br />
But while the news has received<br />
a positive response from<br />
the community, many residents<br />
would have been happy to<br />
contribute to<br />
the proposed<br />
Christchurch<br />
Stadium.<br />
It comes after<br />
mayor Sam<br />
Broughton<br />
was reported<br />
last week saying<br />
financial<br />
support from<br />
the district<br />
council was no longer necessary.<br />
It was due to the Christchurch<br />
City Council confirming it<br />
would spend $253 million and<br />
the Government’s Christchurch<br />
Regeneration Acceleration Fund<br />
has promised $220 million<br />
towards the stadium.<br />
In May the district council<br />
suggested a targeted rate, collected<br />
by Environment Canterbury,<br />
for the stadium sparking<br />
mixed reaction.<br />
But Mayor Broughton told<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> at no stage was<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> ever asked to fund the<br />
stadium, he wanted to start a<br />
conversation to make the stadium<br />
happen.<br />
“Now that the funding from the<br />
Government and Christchurch<br />
City Council decision has been<br />
made I can’t see why there would<br />
need to be anything else,” he said.<br />
Dunsandel Community Committee<br />
chairman Nigel Barnett<br />
said if it is fully funded from<br />
other sources it is a good outcome<br />
for district ratepayers.<br />
“Personally I would have been<br />
quite comfortable to be called<br />
upon to contribute something<br />
to the stadium. Quite frankly it<br />
is a benefit to the whole region,”<br />
he said.<br />
His views were backed by<br />
Lincoln Club president Lynn<br />
Townsend, who said while it is<br />
good the ratepayers don’t have<br />
to pay, it should be supporting<br />
the Christchurch City Council<br />
to some extent.<br />
“There are a hell of a lot of<br />
people in <strong>Selwyn</strong> that will benefit<br />
from and have the pleasure<br />
of using the stadium,” he said.<br />
But other residents are still<br />
unsure over whether it is a good<br />
or bad idea for <strong>Selwyn</strong> ratepayers<br />
to pay.<br />
FORK<br />
OUT: While<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
residents are<br />
happy they<br />
don’t have to<br />
pay for the<br />
Christchurch<br />
Stadium,<br />
many would<br />
have if the<br />
opportunity<br />
had arisen. <br />
Leeston Community Committee<br />
chairman Lloyd Clausen<br />
said did not know whether<br />
it was a good outcome and if<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> ratepayers should be<br />
funding the stadium.<br />
“There is too much up in the<br />
air. You almost want to see a<br />
proposal so you can see exactly<br />
what they are doing . . . there are<br />
too many unknowns to make an<br />
opinion.<br />
Weedons Residents<br />
Association Committee<br />
secretary Gary Doyle said he<br />
couldn’t make a comment until<br />
he had all the information on<br />
the proposal.<br />

Lincoln cyclist battles his internal<br />
Two years ago Keagan<br />
Girdlestone was learning<br />
how to cycle again after<br />
a major crash. Now the<br />
21-year-old from Lincoln<br />
is facing a battle with<br />
post-traumatic stress as<br />
he endeavours to keep his<br />
Tour de France dreams<br />
alive. Gordon Findlater<br />
reports on Girdlestone’s<br />
road to recovery<br />
IN JUNE 2016, Keagan<br />
Girdlestone was feared dead after<br />
crashing into the back of a team<br />
vehicle while racing in Italy.<br />
He severed his carotid artery<br />
and jugular vein, suffered<br />
bruising to the brain and several<br />
strokes, and went into cardiac<br />
arrest on the operating table.<br />
He was told by doctors he<br />
would never ride again. But in<br />
July, the Christchurch rider travelled<br />
to France to race in Europe<br />
for the first time since making a<br />
remarkable physical recovery.<br />
However, what was about to<br />
unfold in France has left the<br />
21-year-old with another barrier<br />
to overcome.<br />
While on a training ride, Girdlestone<br />
felt a kink in his neck<br />
– which was badly-damaged in<br />
his big crash. He had no idea he<br />
was experiencing his first posttraumatic<br />
stress event.<br />
“I started suffering a panic attack,<br />
but I didn’t know any of the<br />
symptoms. I just kept thinking<br />
to myself ‘holy cow, I’m having a<br />
stroke’. It was terrifying being in<br />
the middle of nowhere in France<br />
and knowing if I have a stroke<br />
now, I’m dead,” said Girdlestone.<br />
“I thought ‘is this where I die<br />
. . . did I come this far just to die<br />
on a training ride?’”<br />
“I remember afterwards talking<br />
to my dad on the phone and<br />
I just burst into tears because I<br />
was terrified.”<br />
Shaken by the event, Girdlestone<br />
was unsure what he had<br />
just experienced. The same week,<br />
he got back on the bike and<br />
looked to prove to himself there<br />
was nothing wrong with his<br />
neck by doing a 1min effort ride.<br />
This saw him record a personal<br />
best since the accident and his<br />
fourth best time ever. The posttraumatic<br />
stress would return<br />
just days later, though, when he<br />
was on another training ride.<br />
BATTLE: Once highlytouted<br />
junior cyclist Keagan<br />
Girdlestone, 21, is now<br />
battling with his mind after<br />
overcoming the injuries<br />
he sustained from a major<br />
accident in Italy in 2016.<br />
“I looked down and my heart<br />
rate was 130, and then the next<br />
minute it was 160 out of nowhere<br />
. . . I wasn’t peddling but my<br />
heart rate was through the roof.”<br />
Girdlestone stopped cycling<br />
and waved down a local farmer<br />
who assisted him before he went<br />
to hospital.<br />
“I was reassured that there was<br />
nothing wrong. I had an MRI<br />
done and it came up fine.”<br />
The fear of getting back on the<br />
bike led to Girdlestone returning<br />
home from France a month<br />
earlier than expected. A number<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
demons after major crash in Italy<br />
A number of other panic<br />
attacks led Girdlestone to learn<br />
that what he was experiencing<br />
were post-traumatic stress<br />
events. This was confirmed after<br />
visiting a psychologist.<br />
For two months the panic<br />
attacks left him too scared to<br />
even ride his bike. “At one stage,<br />
I did think to myself I might stop<br />
riding because I thought there<br />
was no way I could get on a bike<br />
and not freak the hell out.”<br />
“I didn’t want to believe it at<br />
first because I’ve never been<br />
the kind of person to have any<br />
mental issues, even throughout<br />
this entire experience of my<br />
accident. It makes sense to me<br />
now that I’ve had the symptoms<br />
explained to me.”<br />
Girdlestone has little memory<br />
of the accident in 2016 and no<br />
memory of any pain. However,<br />
he believes his brain has linked<br />
the sensation he is experiencing<br />
in his neck to pain experienced<br />
during the crash.<br />
“I think sub-consciously my<br />
brain remembers exactly what<br />
that pain felt like.”<br />
His dream of returning to<br />
competitive cycling this time<br />
around is a whole different<br />
experience to what he was going<br />
through two years ago.<br />
“When I’m riding or working<br />
on my rehab, the physical things<br />
I can just attack full gas and just<br />
work hard, but when it comes<br />
to the mental side of things, it’s<br />
about accepting that you actually<br />
have to take a step back and look<br />
at the bigger picture. You’ve got<br />
to know that, where you are<br />
now, it’s not going to be like this<br />
forever.”<br />
Girdlestone went for a twohour<br />
ride this week – his longest<br />
since returning home – and<br />
experienced only minor issues.<br />
“You just get on the bike and<br />
hope for the best.”<br />
“I make sure I’m in a good<br />
head space before I get on<br />
the bike because I don’t want<br />
riding a bike to be associated<br />
with panic, discomfort and<br />
unenjoyment.”<br />
‘I feel like I’m being surrounded<br />
by a fence that’s holding me back<br />
and all I’ve got to do is take the<br />
blindfold off and realise there is<br />
no fence’ – Keagan Girdlestone<br />
CHAMPION: In<br />
2014, Keagan<br />
Girdlestone<br />
put himself<br />
on the scene<br />
by becoming<br />
the youngest<br />
ever winner<br />
of Le Race at<br />
16-years-old.<br />
“The first priority is to get<br />
my love for riding again . . .<br />
for the moment, it’s been quite<br />
terrifying.”<br />
Girdlestone shot to<br />
prominence in 2014 as a 16-yearold<br />
by becoming the youngest<br />
winner of the 100km Le Race<br />
event from Christchurch to<br />
Akaroa.<br />
In 2015, he finished fourth in<br />
the time trial at the junior world<br />
champs representing his home<br />
nation of South Africa.<br />
He believes a big part in<br />
getting his head in the right<br />
space will involve putting his<br />
focus towards a target rather<br />
than where he was before the<br />
accident and what he used to be<br />
able to do.<br />
“It’s just like a blindfold and<br />
I’ve got to take it off. I feel like<br />
I’m being surrounded by a fence<br />
that’s holding me back and all<br />
I’ve got to do is take the blindfold<br />
off and realise there is no fence.”<br />
Girdlestone has also started<br />
wearing a balaclava around his<br />
neck to dampen the sensation he<br />
feels.<br />
“The wind when I’m riding<br />
really triggers that effect.”<br />
“Hopefully, I’ll get over it in<br />
time for summer otherwise I<br />
imagine I’ll get quite hot.”<br />

West Melton community ‘excited’<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
WEST MELTON’S new<br />
community centre is less than a<br />
week away from opening to the<br />
public.<br />
The $8.5 million facility<br />
located on 1163 West Coast Rd,<br />
will open to the public next<br />
week.<br />
The facility will feature a<br />
community meeting space, an<br />
indoor sport and recreation area<br />
with an indoor court, a scout<br />
hall, Plunket room and play<br />
centre.<br />
There will also be a space for<br />
community group activities such<br />
as service, gardening, film clubs<br />
and any other demands that may<br />
arise in the community.<br />
The centre has been in<br />
construction for the past 13<br />
months.<br />
Property and Commercial<br />
manager Douglas Marshall said<br />
the new community centre is<br />
much larger and a more modern<br />
facility designed to better meet<br />
the needs of a population that<br />
has grown so rapidly.<br />
The township’s population is<br />
expected to grow to 2256 by 2025.<br />
The new facility was built due<br />
the current centre located on the<br />
same site being outdated and<br />
sustaining damage following the<br />

Mr Marshall said the old hall<br />
is currently being demolished to<br />
be used for landscaping and car<br />
parking.<br />
A pedestrian promenade will<br />
connect to the entrance of the<br />
new centre which will be lined<br />
with trees.<br />
West Melton Residents’ Association<br />
member Bruce Russell<br />
said people are extremely excited<br />
about moving into the new<br />
centre.<br />
The new facility has been<br />
about five years in the making<br />
after Mr Russell called a public<br />
meeting to discuss what residents<br />
wanted.<br />
He said it was decided at that<br />
stage a facility more suitable for<br />
the time should be built and the<br />
district council was approached.<br />
An official opening is planned<br />
for December 7.<br />

Backyard Critters<br />
Colourful earthworm<br />
thrives on rotting vegetation<br />
Mike Bowie is<br />
an ecologist<br />
who specialises<br />
in entomology<br />
(insects and other<br />
invertebrates). Each<br />
week he introduces<br />
a new species found<br />
in his backyard at<br />
Lincoln. His column<br />
aims to raise public<br />
awareness of<br />
biodiversity, the<br />
variety of living things<br />
around us. Check<br />

IF YOU own a compost<br />
bin like me, the most<br />
common earthworm<br />
within will likely be a tiger<br />
worm (Eisenia fetida).<br />
This earthworm has as<br />
many as 130 distinctive red<br />
and yellow alternating segments<br />
along its body.<br />
They thrive on rotting<br />
vegetation, compost or<br />
manure and can eat their<br />
body weight in a day.<br />
HUNGRY WORM: The tiger worm thrives on rotting<br />
vegetation, compost or manure and can eat their<br />
body weight in a day. <br />
The tiger worm is from<br />
Europe and has been introduced<br />
to all continents<br />
apart from Antarctica.<br />
Like other earthworms,<br />
they are hermaphrodites<br />
and adults are distinguished<br />
by their thickened,<br />
light-coloured saddle or<br />
clitellum which join with<br />
another worm during<br />
reproduction.<br />
Both worms will pass<br />
sperm and then lay lemonshaped<br />
cocoons containing<br />
several eggs.<br />
Cocoons are yellow at<br />
first but turn brown as they<br />
mature.<br />
Worms take 8-10 weeks<br />
to breeding maturity.<br />
Composting with<br />
tiger worms is a very<br />
satisfyingly way of turning<br />
food scraps, tea bags, coffee<br />
grounds, grass clippings<br />
and leaves into beautiful<br />
soil.<br />

You bring the dream,<br />
we’ll bring the<br />
How To.<br />
With Canterbury experiencing<br />
a hot summer after the wettest<br />
winter on record, our weather<br />
has certainly been extreme.<br />
However, brave Cantabrians,<br />
with verandas and adjustable<br />
louvres from Stratco on our<br />
side, we can take back control<br />
of our unpredictable elements.<br />
Steve Cain, Outdoor Product<br />
Specialist at Stratco, is passionate<br />
about their verandas and electronic<br />
louvre systems “they add great<br />
value to a home, families get<br />
so much more use from their<br />
outdoors, and the real estate<br />
market recognises that value as<br />
well”.<br />
Steve says adding an adjustable<br />
louvre system allows you to<br />
control exactly how much sunlight<br />
and breeze in, and protect from<br />
rain as well.<br />
Custom made to suit your<br />
requirements and powder coated<br />
to any colour, the louvre comes<br />
standard with an electronic remote<br />
control as well as a rain sensor<br />
which gives you huge flexibility on<br />
how to use the system.<br />
The verandas are Stratco’s own<br />
YOU BRING THE DREAM,<br />
WE'LL BRING THE<br />
YOUR OUTDOOR LIFESTYLE<br />
Experience the best of outdoor living with a<br />
Stratco Outback ® Verandah, Louvre or Carport.<br />
Open your home to the outside and create a<br />
space that can be enjoyed throughout the year.<br />
Under a Stratco Outback you are protected from<br />
the elements, expanding your possibilities for<br />
entertaining, storage, an all-weather play area for<br />
kids or simply enjoying your garden.<br />
unique leading edge design and<br />
componentry. Steve is pleased to<br />
be able to offer a bespoke veranda<br />
at the same price as a standard<br />
product, because Stratco has<br />
the design tools that enable the<br />
veranda to be custom-designed to<br />
your size, layout, and attachment<br />
requirements.<br />
The process is simple: Steve<br />
will talk through the possibilities<br />
with you and then measure and<br />
quote, which is free with no<br />
obligation. Stratco then designs,<br />
manufactures, and installs the<br />
verandas and louvres themselves.<br />
It’s a one-stop-shop, with all the<br />
project management and heavy<br />
lifting taken care of, leaving you<br />
hands free to thumb your nose at<br />
our climate chaos.<br />

World Youth Enduro Championship after a successful six months in Europe.<br />

Macdonald world No 2 after<br />
podium finish in Germany<br />
• By Jacob Page<br />
WHAT A difference six<br />
months makes in the life<br />
of West Melton motorbike<br />
rider, Hamish Macdonald<br />
(right).<br />
The 19-year-old arrived<br />
in Europe at the start of<br />
the FIM Enduro GP World<br />
Championships season in<br />
April with the idea that he<br />
would simply “see where<br />
I was at with my enduro<br />
riding.”<br />
He will return home<br />
ranked No 2 in the world<br />
after finishing second overall<br />
in the FIM World Youth<br />
Enduro Championship<br />
on his Sherco 125 SE-R in<br />
Germany, last Monday.<br />
A leading competitor<br />
at the top of the national<br />
enduro scene at home,<br />
Macdonald had already<br />
proven himself an<br />
accomplished rider in New<br />
Zealand.<br />
He was the first Kiwi to<br />
win an event when he took<br />
out the Youth Cup 125<br />
class at the Enduro GP of<br />
Italy, in September.<br />
“Second in the world<br />
feels pretty good,” he said. <br />
“I guess because it has<br />
always been a dream of<br />
mine to be a world champion<br />
and now I am so close<br />

but I have not won it yet so<br />
hopefully one day I will get<br />
the opportunity to come<br />
back and stand on the top<br />
step of the podium.”<br />
After only planning to<br />
race one round in Spain,<br />
Macdonald said he simply<br />
made the most of each opportunity.<br />
“Doors were opening<br />
and I had some good opportunities<br />
that would’ve<br />
been stupid to turn down.<br />
“One of those opportunities<br />
arose when my<br />
teammate asked me to<br />
come and live with him in<br />
England,” he said.<br />
I had a fractured leg after<br />
a race that didn’t end so<br />
well.<br />
“Mum and dad, being<br />
back in New Zealand, told<br />
me it was best for me to fly<br />
home and repair my leg,<br />
but I said this opportunity<br />
was too good to turn<br />
SELWYN TIMES<br />
SPORTS<br />
down.”<br />
He said the whole experience<br />
provided plenty of<br />
learning opportunities.<br />
“I hadn’t seen these<br />
factory teams before and I<br />
didn’t know anybody,” he<br />
said.<br />
“I was testing the waters<br />
to start.<br />
“I think the biggest<br />
learning curve for me<br />
has been discovering the<br />
level that I can ride at<br />
during these events and of<br />
course living with a teammate<br />
has been really good.<br />
“To train, ride and race<br />
together, constantly pushing<br />
each other to get better<br />
during this time away from<br />
the “world scene” has been<br />
great.”<br />
Macdonald returns<br />
home this week not<br />
knowing what his future<br />
holds.<br />
“There has been some<br />
talk with the teams<br />
regarding a ride for next<br />
year but I will not know<br />
what the outcome is for a<br />
couple of weeks,” he said.<br />

THE MALVERN veterans<br />
tennis team HAVE<br />
successfully defended<br />
the Shirley Dalziel<br />
Trophy after beating<br />
Mid-Canterbury 10-6 at<br />
Ashburton.<br />
The trophy is the Canterbury<br />
Country tennis<br />
equivalent of the Ranfurly<br />
Shield, and Malvern kept it<br />
after leading five matches<br />
to three following the<br />
men’s and women’s doubles.<br />
The Shirley Dalziel Trophy<br />
was donated in 1995,<br />
and was named in honour<br />
of the former patron of<br />
Canterbury Country Tennis<br />
seniors.<br />
team. She made the most<br />
of her opportunity, scoring<br />
four times during the<br />
tournament.<br />
The 12-year-old, who<br />
has played her club<br />
hockey at Hornby for the<br />
past eight seasons, was<br />
part of the Canterbury<br />
B age-group team until<br />
this season when she was<br />
picked for the Collier<br />
team.<br />
Canterbury beat<br />
Hawke’s Bay 5-0 in the<br />
semi-final, then defeated<br />
Central Otago in the final.<br />
“We played really well<br />
all tournament and our<br />
Team member Rob Potts<br />
said the team won it from<br />
Ellesmere Blue last season<br />
and have since defended<br />
it against all the country<br />
defence was really strong<br />
and we had plenty of<br />
chances to score goals upfront,”<br />
Katie said.<br />
She said she enjoyed her<br />
time being coached by<br />
former Black Sticks’ Cathy<br />
Baker and Jordy Grant.<br />
She also praised her club<br />
coach Matt Cunningham<br />
for improving her skill<br />
level so she could make<br />
the team.<br />
Katie said being part of<br />
the team was a thrill and<br />
she wants to progress her<br />
hockey at Lincoln High<br />
School when she starts<br />
there next year.<br />

Take another look at<br />
at rubbish<br />
Where does our rubbish go, what is recyclable and what can you do to ease the pressure on<br />
those who look after our solid waste?<br />
Probably not questions you think about on a day to day basis.<br />
But apart from pulling your wheelie bin out and lamenting the lack of supermarket bags for bin<br />
liners, how much does the average New Zealander ponder their rubbish and recycling? Possibly not<br />
enough according to those who roll up their sleeves and separate the trash from the recyclables.<br />
That’s why the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District Council alongside 12 other councils across the country have<br />
teamed up to fund a web series of videos called Wasted New Zealand. It highlights our troubles<br />
with trash and where our waste goes.<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> District Council Solid Waste Manager Andrew Boyd says often there’s a “feel good”<br />
sentiment about recycling, but sometimes our separating needs a little more thought.<br />
“It was great to see this series highlighting some major frustration of ours, such as bagged<br />
recyclables – these are unable to be sorted and are sent to landfill,” he says.<br />
Mr Boyd says there tends to be confusion around takeaway food and drink containers.<br />
“While most containers are made out of plastic or cardboard, they aren’t necessarily recyclable in<br />
the kerbside service.<br />
“Takeaway coffee cups for example should go into the rubbish, and this also applies to compostable<br />
or biodegradable coffee cups – these are not currently acceptable in the organics bin either.”<br />
Mr Boyd says tin, plastic and glass containers need to be empty and clean, with the lids off, if the<br />
container is to be recycled.<br />
The Wasted New Zealand series can be found at www.selwyn.govt.nz/wastednz<br />
Time running out for community grant<br />
funding applications<br />
Applications for the first round of funding from the new <strong>Selwyn</strong> Community Fund will be closing shortly.<br />
The <strong>Selwyn</strong> Community Fund was established earlier this year to support events and other activities<br />
that help make <strong>Selwyn</strong> a great place, and contribute to community wellbeing, bringing communities<br />
together and attracting visitors to the district.<br />
The fund brings together the former Community Events Fund along with new funds, under a new<br />
contestable funding application process.<br />
Community Relations Manager Denise Kidd says they have been happy with the level of applications so<br />
far, but are expecting a late flurry of candidates.<br />
“We have heard from a broad range of community groups about the need for this sort of fund; from<br />
art groups, community groups running events through to parenting support groups and to activity and<br />
social groups for older people,” she says.<br />
“We have received applications from groups located in different parts of the district, as well as at least<br />
one district-wide organisation.”<br />
The <strong>Selwyn</strong> Community Fund is a valuable way for the Council to support community groups and the<br />
volunteer efforts that do exciting, positive things in our district.<br />
The fund is open to any recognised organisations whose principle functions or activities are of a<br />
charitable (not-for-profit) nature.<br />
Denise Kidd says from the initial response Council received they have been expecting more<br />
applications at this point, but says there is still time to apply and she is sure there are other groups who<br />
could benefit by applying.<br />
“This is a great opportunity to ensure your community group is given the opportunity to seek the<br />
financial backing it needs to continue its growth and development,” Denise Kidd says.<br />
Applications for the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Community Fund are open year round, with funding allocated in two rounds<br />
each year. Round one closes on Wednesday 31 <strong>October</strong>.<br />
Full details on eligibility and criteria, along with an online application form, are at www.selwyn.govt.nz/<br />

Cricket set to be a smash<br />
hit in Lincoln<br />
Top class cricket is coming to the heart of <strong>Selwyn</strong> this week.<br />
A four-day women’s domestic T20 competition will be held at New<br />
Zealand Cricket’s High Performance Centre at Lincoln between 25<br />
and 28 <strong>October</strong>.<br />
The Burger King Super Smash will feature all six of the women’s<br />
domestic sides, and will be a great opportunity for the Canterbury<br />
Magicians to start the season in a positive fashion.<br />
Senior Events and Recreation Advisor Dave Tippett, says this is a<br />
fantastic opportunity for sports fans living in <strong>Selwyn</strong> to see some<br />
top quality cricket in the district.<br />
“We are working towards developing a stronger relationship with<br />
New Zealand Cricket, initially with our Summer in <strong>Selwyn</strong> brand, to<br />
enable both parties to leverage on the huge benefits of having the<br />
High Performance Centre and exceptional facilities in the heart of<br />
our district.<br />
“Bert Sutcliffe Oval is one of the premier sporting venues in our<br />
district and partnering with New Zealand Cricket who own it is<br />
logical from a Council perspective,” Mr Tippett says.<br />
While Hagley Park in Christchurch is Canterbury’s foremost cricket<br />
venue, a number of games are still scheduled for Bert Sutcliffe Oval,<br />
including age-grade competitions, pre-seasons matches and the<br />
likes of the upcoming Burger King Super Smash.<br />
Mr Tippett hopes more <strong>Selwyn</strong> locals will be getting out and<br />
supporting the range of cricket being played at the Oval during<br />
the summer.<br />
Entry will be free to the four days of Burger King Super Smash<br />
women’s T20. For more information head to www.supersmash.co.nz.<br />
Flush your taps<br />
Some plumbing fittings have the potential to allow minute traces<br />
of metals to accumulate in water standings in the fittings for<br />
several hours.<br />
Although the health risk is small, the Ministry of Health recommends<br />
that you flush a mugful of water from your drinking-water each<br />
morning before use to remove any metals that may have dissolved<br />
from the plumbing fittings.<br />
Assets Manager, Murray Washington says this is a simple measure<br />
to help safe-guard the health of yourself and your family.<br />
“It should only take water users a couple seconds to wash out their<br />
pipes, and while it is only a precaution, it is a quick way to protect<br />
your household, no matter how small the risk is.<br />
We are recommending this simple precaution for all households,<br />
including those on private and public water supplies.<br />
Meet your street coming soon<br />
This summer we’ll be hosting street barbeques to help locals meet<br />
their street. These are fun informal events to help you meet your<br />
neighbourhood, while enjoying some food, music and games for<br />
the kids.<br />
Residents also have the opportunity to apply for a Meet Your<br />
Street event in their street! Four locations are up for grabs – this<br />
year we want you to tell us where you think the final four Meet your<br />
Street locations should be in March 2019. Applications are open<br />
now until 30 November with the lucky winning street announced<br />
early December.<br />
Here in <strong>Selwyn</strong> we also encourage neighbourhoods to organise<br />
their own local street gathering. If you are interested in hosting<br />
your own, we offer a subsidy of up to $75 per street gathering<br />
(conditions apply).<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
Ease the fuel bill with cheeky Kia Picanto<br />
• By Ross Kiddie<br />
WHERE IS it all going to end?<br />
The price of fuel is heading<br />
towards $3 a litre, and there’s no<br />
sign of the cost dropping at any<br />
point.<br />
However, the manufacturers of<br />
small, economical cars must be<br />
happy, when fuel prices surge new<br />
car buyers see efficiency as a key<br />
buying ingredient.<br />
The latest fuel miser to come<br />
my way is Kia’s cheeky Picanto,<br />
a small hatchback with a 1<strong>24</strong>8cc<br />
four-cylinder engine that has<br />
been developed so that filling up<br />
doesn’t need to take place often<br />
and when there is a need to topup<br />
there are no nasty surprises<br />
when it is translated into dollar<br />
amounts.<br />
Everything about the Picanto is<br />
designed for efficiency. Sure, there<br />
was some indication that the newgeneration<br />
model would land with<br />
a tiny turbocharged 1-litre engine,<br />
but the reality is that the 1.2-litre<br />
unit is far from greedy.<br />
If you take note of the fuel<br />
claim figures, the Picanto stacks<br />
up well.<br />
Kia claims a .8l/100km(49mpg)<br />
combined cycle average. My time<br />
with the test car was constantly<br />
listing around a 7.2l/100km<br />
(39mpg) figure, which was a<br />
little distant, but the point is that<br />
KIA PICANTO X-LINE: Quasi sport utility vehicle.<br />
under evaluation conditions I’m<br />
never going to match the manufacturer’s<br />
claims, in ideal conditions<br />
I’m sure that Kia’s claim is<br />
achievable. At 100km/h on the<br />
highway an instantaneous figure<br />
of 4l/100km (70mpg) is on offer,<br />
the engine turning over quite<br />
busy at 2900pm at that speed.<br />
As mentioned, under the bonnet<br />
sits a small capacity engine of<br />
just 1.2-litre. It is a twin-camshaft<br />
type with power outputs of 62kW<br />
and 122Nm. It’s no powerhouse,<br />
but then it doesn’t need to be, the<br />
baby Picanto has a role to serve,<br />
and it does that well given its<br />
design parameters; all that aside,<br />
a standstill to 100km/h time of<br />
around 12sec is possible.<br />
Drive is channelled through a<br />
four-speed automatic transmission,<br />
although if you really want<br />
to go there, a five-speed manual<br />
is available on special order.<br />
However, automatics are what<br />
Kiwi buyers are interested in, and<br />
the driveline in the Picanto is<br />
engineered for smoothness and<br />
ease of operation.<br />
It is also a relaxing car to drive,<br />
and one which appeals with its<br />
simplicity. In terms of engineering,<br />
the Picanto has all the ingredients<br />
to serve its purpose.<br />
The Picanto comes in several<br />
specifications, the entry-level<br />
LX manual gearbox model lists<br />
• Price – Kia Picanto,<br />
$21,490<br />
• Dimensions – Length,<br />
3670mm; width, 1625mm;<br />
height, 1500mm<br />
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,<br />
front-wheeldrive,<br />
1<strong>24</strong>8cc, 62kW,<br />
122Nm, four-speed<br />
automatic.<br />
• Performance –<br />
0-100km/h, 12sec<br />
• Fuel usage – 5.8l/100km<br />
at $18,490 (LX auto $18,990).<br />
Other specifications include a GT<br />
($21,490) and, in the test car’s case,<br />
X-Line which is the same price as<br />
the GT. The X-Line version is has<br />
quasi-sport utility vehicle styling.<br />
It has a bold body kit which<br />
really looks the part, but with front<br />
wheel-drive only, it certainly can’t<br />
be considered an off-roader.<br />
However, Kia have raised the<br />
X-Line slightly, it has 15mm more<br />
ground clearance than its stablemates.<br />
That’s handy for when<br />
tackling the odd urban jungle<br />
hurdle, and it certainly makes<br />
entry and egress that much easier,<br />
especially for those who aren’t as<br />
agile as they once were.<br />
For its price, the X-Line has<br />
a high level of fitment for both<br />
convenience and safety, the latter<br />
earning it a five-star Australasian<br />
New Car Assessment Program<br />
rating. Interior specification<br />
includes most of the essentials<br />
we have come to expect from<br />
the modern car, and many of the<br />
functions are available through a<br />
large central touch screen.<br />
Sitting on a simplistic front<br />
strut/rear torsion beam suspension,<br />
the spring and damper rates<br />
have been selected for the twisty<br />
nature of New Zealand roads,<br />
and they also work well on the<br />
earthquake-damaged surfaces<br />
around the city.<br />
The Picanto X-Line is also a<br />
head-turner, the body kit adds an<br />
aggressive edge, it also has a smart,<br />
fashionable, yet functional interior<br />
that takes in the effort Kia is going<br />
to with its designs these days.<br />
At under $20k, there are many<br />
good reasons why the Picanto<br />
should be considered as a small<br />
car purchase. Kia is making moves<br />
at a critical time, it and its partner<br />
Hyundai are full steam ahead on<br />
electric and hybrid production.<br />
However, the Picanto is there for<br />
those who want traditional petrol<br />
power, and the timing is perfect<br />
for the new model; the only way to<br />
beat rising fuel prices is to use less,<br />
and that’s where trendy cars like<br />
the Picanto come in.<br />

Professional designer can<br />
offer innovative options<br />
Sharon CroftS<br />
LandSCape d e S ign<br />
• Consultations • Design Concepts • Planting Plans<br />
Longer days and warmer temperatures signal that now is a good<br />
time to start planning your new garden, or revamping your existing<br />
one, suggests landscape designer Sharon Crofts.<br />
A good way to start, she says, is with a consultation to discuss your<br />
ideas. From there, Sharon will produce a design concept and a planting<br />
schedule to create a garden that’s unique to you and your lifestyle.<br />
While many homeowners like to plan their own gardens, calling on<br />
a professional designer can be very helpful, as they often have design<br />
and planting ideas or innovative landscape options the home gardener<br />
hadn’t thought of, Sharon says.<br />
At this time of year, too, the plant nurseries are well stocked with<br />
new plants and shrubs ready for planting in all areas of the garden.<br />
Having a landscape plan takes away the confusion over which plants<br />
go where.<br />
Homeowners have the option of implementing the plan themselves,<br />
or alternatively, Sharon can recommend contractors, who will visit<br />
the property and give quotes for the work. The homeowner can then<br />
choose the one they feel most comfortable with.<br />
Having your paving or decking areas professionally designed and<br />
executed will give the landscaping that professional edge, which in<br />
turn will add value to the property.<br />
As the end of year gets closer, contractors are getting booked up<br />
with projects clients require to have completed before Christmas,<br />
Sharon says, so anyone wanting work done before the festive season<br />
will need to act quickly. However, there will be more availability in<br />
January and February, when contractors are not so busy and there are<br />
still several weeks of summer left for homeowners to enjoy their newly<br />
designed outdoor area.<br />
So, to arrange for a consultation on your new garden design,<br />
contact Sharon Crofts Landscape Design, phone (03) 329 6229,<br />
mobile 0274 311558, and she will provide a prompt service and a<br />
garden design to suit your individual tastes and requirements. Or<br />

Enjoy the outdoors all year<br />
round with the Bowranda<br />
Patio Roof<br />
With spring in full swing and summer just<br />
around the corner, it is the perfect time to step<br />
back and look at how you can get the most out of<br />
your outdoor living environment.<br />
Whether you are hosting family and friends or<br />
just enjoying some “you time”, being able to utilise<br />
your outdoor space with shade from the harsh sun<br />
or shelter from inclement weather is the dream<br />
lifestyle.<br />
The Bowranda Patio Roof is the ultimate solution<br />
to your needs, providing comfort and protection<br />
through all four seasons. As a permanent outdoor<br />
space that provides shelter from the elements, it<br />
offers a desirable area for anyone who wants to<br />
be outside while avoiding exposure to spoiling<br />
weather extremes.<br />
Tailored to the needs of New Zealanders,<br />
Bowranda’s ingeniously designed roof incorporates<br />
a specialised membrane that eliminates 99 per cent<br />
of UV rays while still preserving ambient light.<br />
This provides reliable protection from harmful<br />
rays without compromising the feel of a natural<br />
sunlit area, and unlike other shade composites, it<br />
will not unduly darken the adjacent interior.<br />
The Bowranda is not just a sunshade; it protects<br />
from all elements, making it a standout among<br />
other forms of outdoor shading. With the ability<br />
to add roller blinds in sunscreen mesh or clear<br />
PVC, homeowners are protected from sun, wind<br />
and rain from any direction.<br />
Made from powder-coated aluminium and<br />
marine-grade stainless steel fixings, Bowranda has<br />
a structural design that was carefully developed<br />
over a five-year period, and comes with a 10-year<br />
guarantee.<br />
The intentional square profile of the roof line<br />
and vertical posts ensures aesthetic conformity<br />
with New Zealand’s residential architecture.<br />
The Bowranda Patio Roof is centrally<br />
manufactured by Unique Outdoors to the exact<br />
specifications and dimensions required by<br />
customers to meet their outdoor aspirations.<br />
Unique Outdoors are a division of MCP New<br />
Zealand Limited, who have been a leader in the<br />
manufacturing industry based from their head<br />
office in Christchurch since 1960.<br />

Pinterest’s top trends for<br />
backyard living this<br />
Do you think about long, hot summer nights and barbeques on the back<br />
lawn? As spring morphs into summer, getting your outdoor living area<br />
ready for the season should be high on your list of things to do.<br />
Here is some of Pinterest’s most significant outdoors living trends for<br />
the upcoming summer season based on Pinning activity. You can find<br />
hundreds of ideas and DIY projects at www.pinterest.com.<br />
Whimsical lights of fancy<br />
Turn your evenings outdoors into nights<br />
of romance or festivity with strings of global<br />
solar lights. For a festive look, string a set of<br />
global lights across your balcony, hanging<br />
from your pergola, or over the dining area.<br />
To create a romantic look, drape a string of<br />
lights over bushes and trees in your garden.<br />
Choose energy-saving solar lights for a<br />
long-lasting glow and watch them twinkle<br />
in the breeze. Solar lights are easy to install<br />
and don’t require any special wiring. Use<br />
them to highlight paths, steps and garden<br />
features.<br />
Take them outdoors<br />
Give your outdoor dining and living<br />
areas a modern, trendy look with European<br />
inspired seating that looks like it should be<br />
indoors. Versatile and sleek, these funky<br />
powder-coated metal chairs are hot for<br />
summer and will add a pop of colour to<br />
your outdoor setting or blend in seamlessly.<br />
Team them up with natural timber, glass<br />
or metal. Choose a design to suit your<br />
style from replica bent wire, old metal,<br />
contemporary wire mesh, or hairpin legs.<br />
To finish the ensemble, add black and white<br />
cushions in geometric and striped patterns.<br />
Go all out for pizza<br />
Buy or build your own pizza oven<br />
and invite guests over for pizza<br />
parties. Tuck it into the corner of<br />
your outdoor living area or include<br />
it in your patio kitchen plan. It will<br />
not only be a focal point for your<br />
guests but will also provide a unique<br />
and fun dining option. You supply<br />
the pizza dough, ask your guests to<br />
bring various toppings – they help<br />
put the pizzas together and even cook<br />
them. Voila! The perfect evening’s<br />
entertainment!<br />

summer<br />
Create your own patio bar<br />
If outdoor parties are high on your list<br />
this summer, then consider incorporating<br />
a beer or wine bar into your outdoor<br />
entertainment area. It could be as simple<br />
as setting up a plank over two wine barrels,<br />
a portable trolley or a full wrap around<br />
counter. To inject a bit of fun into your<br />
social get-togethers, try a themed tiki bar<br />
complete with thatched roof. If that idea is<br />
going too far, build or buy a bar leaner table<br />
with or without bar stools. If space is tight,<br />
choose one with a round table top. And if<br />
the budget allows, incorporate an outdoor<br />
glass door bar fridge or an ice chest into<br />
your plans.<br />
Make your splash dashing<br />
Darker pool surface colours are slick and<br />
fashionable. Black and navy are popular<br />
choices for reflection and heat retention.<br />
Incorporate mosaics in dark blue and<br />
purple hues for extra sparkle. To create<br />
a look of luxury, turn your pool into a<br />
luxurious oasis with natural landscaping<br />
elements - try lush plantings of tropical or<br />
native plants depending on your climate.<br />
You can also make your pool smart<br />
by incorporating<br />
automation into your<br />
pool care system to<br />
control lighting, open<br />
and close valves, turn<br />
on pumps and check<br />
temperatures and<br />
chlorine levels.<br />
And if you are putting in a new pool with<br />
a view, consider a pool with an infinity<br />
edge to create an illusion of a seamless<br />
panorama.<br />
Give your patio floor a lift<br />
Choosing your outdoor living area<br />
flooring is just as important as selecting the<br />
flooring for indoors. Your patio flooring<br />
can blend into the background seamlessly<br />
or make a bold statement. Traditional<br />
outdoor flooring includes slip-resistant<br />
tiles, timber decking, brick and concrete<br />
pavers.<br />
For something a little different try: a mix<br />
of gravel and stepping stones or pavers;<br />
stencil painted patterns onto concrete;<br />
turn recycled concrete pieces into crazy<br />
paving; give your concrete a timber-look<br />
texture; or use colourful, geometrically<br />
patterned tiles. Try your artist’s hand and<br />
incorporate mosaics as a feature in your<br />
design – use pebbles, bricks, or irregular<br />
shaped stepping stones or broken china to<br />
create your masterpiece. And for a quick<br />
and easy option, recycle timber pallets into<br />
a decking – place them at right angles to<br />
each other for an interesting pattern.<br />

Timely suggestions for<br />
spring gardening projects<br />
The arrival of spring and Daylight Saving<br />
brings longer, warmer days, plus the<br />
opportunity to get started on those spring<br />
gardening jobs.<br />
The experts at Intelligro have some timely<br />
suggestions, starting with sowing seeds and<br />
seedlings. For the veggie garden, they say,<br />
now is the right time to sow carrots, lettuce,<br />
peas, courgettes, spinach, spring onions<br />
beans and tomatoes, so you can enjoy<br />
fresh, home-grown produce right through<br />
summer.<br />
Whether you are growing seeds or<br />
seedlings, their Saxon Seed Trays and Seed<br />
Raising Mix will get them off to a good<br />
start, and help to nourish them as they<br />
grow and flourish.<br />
For the keen gardener, there’s nothing<br />
more satisfying than seeing their shrubs<br />
and flowers bursting with life and colour.<br />
Intelligro suggest giving your roses a boost<br />
ahead of the flowering season with a feed<br />
of fertiliser, and you will enjoy a beautiful<br />
display throughout summer and into<br />
autumn. New roses can also be planted<br />
now, with some slow-release fertiliser or<br />
compost added to give them a good start.<br />
Now is also the time to plan your summer<br />
display for pots, baskets and garden beds,<br />
and get planting. For pots and baskets, they<br />
suggest using their All-Purpose Potting<br />
Mix or Patio Plus to achieve top-notch<br />
results. These products are also suitable for<br />
indoor plants.<br />
A bright-green healthy-looking lawn is<br />
the perfect complement to summer colour,<br />
and now is the time to fertilise lawns, or<br />
sow new ones. The experts at Intelligro<br />
can also advise on dealing with pests and<br />
diseases, and have a range of products for<br />
pest control and lawn care and repair.<br />
As a bulk landscaping supplier, Intelligro<br />
stock bark mulch, bark nuggets, wood<br />
chips, garden mulch, screened garden soil,<br />
lawn mixes, veggie garden mix and more,<br />
and there is a delivery service available for<br />

hire.<br />
For the team at Intelligro, the aim is<br />
to take the guesswork out of gardening<br />
for their customers, and they are always<br />
happy to discuss your ideas and offer<br />
advice. Intelligro is located at 261 Manion<br />

Make your home<br />
allergy free<br />
Itchy and watery eyes, runny nose,<br />
sneezing, tickly throat…<br />
These are just some of the symptoms<br />
you may get if you suffer from hay fever.<br />
New Zealand is known to be one of the worst countries for<br />
hay fever and with climatic changes in our seasons on the rise, it<br />
could become all year round for some sufferers.<br />
Research suggests pollen is on the increase. This year<br />
pharmacies and optometrists have noticed a rise in hay fever<br />
complaints, even from those who have never experienced it<br />
before.<br />
Warmer winters with fewer frosts may be to blame, as extreme<br />
cold is needed to dampen or kill off some pollen-producing<br />
plants.<br />
Aside from using over-the-counter medications to treat hay<br />
fever and allergies, what else can you do to help reduce further<br />

10 Tips to a dust and pollen-free home<br />
• Vacuum regularly: Vacuum 1-2 times a<br />
week to keep your house dust mite, pet hair<br />
and dander free.<br />
• Brush your pets outside: If you regularly<br />
brush your pets, do it outdoors away from<br />
open windows and doors.<br />
• Wash your bedding: Wash your sheets<br />
weekly and dry them in the dryer when<br />
pollen is at its worst.<br />
• Regularly clean furnishings: Choose easy to<br />
wash fabrics for drapes, curtains, cushion<br />
and sofa covers to help keep allergens at<br />
bay.<br />
• Hard flooring vs carpet: Choose flooring<br />
such as vinyl or timber, which are easier to<br />
wash and keep clean.<br />
• Keep pollen and dust outside: Shut<br />
windows and doors on windy days.<br />
• Remove your outdoor clothing: Change<br />
your gardening or walking clothes when<br />
you come inside to avoid bringing pollen<br />
into your home and onto your furnishings.<br />
• Stay indoors: Choose your time to spend<br />
outdoors. Most pollen is emitted between<br />
5am and 10am; however, pollen counts do<br />
vary throughout the day.<br />
• In the garden: Regularly remove dead<br />
plants and leaves; stay away from, or wear a<br />
mask, when lawn mowing.<br />
• In the car: Keep windows closed and set<br />
the air conditioning on recirculate to keep<br />
pollen-laden air out.<br />

Tips to smarten your outdoors before Xmas<br />
WITH THE warmer weather<br />
comes the ever knowing<br />
awareness and understanding<br />
that Christmas is really not that<br />
far away. Turn the corner and we<br />
are almost there.<br />
Wise are those who plan and<br />
work in advance.<br />
Unfortunately, most of us wait<br />
until the last minute to work on<br />
our gardens, just before the big<br />
day arrives.<br />
Often we find the task either<br />
too big or too difficult, hence<br />
a lot of us leave it incomplete<br />
or even worse, don’t start at all.<br />
Well, here are some simple tips<br />
to improve your outdoor living<br />
areas.<br />
You can always let the cobwebs<br />
inside take care of themselves, at<br />
least they catch flies.<br />
1: If your garden is too much<br />
to handle then simplify it. Look<br />
at what plants you have. Your<br />
likes and dislikes. Too big or<br />
too small? Leaf droppers or<br />
sun blockers? The list goes on.<br />
Ascertain what has to go and<br />
get rid of them. You may be<br />
surprised at how simple things<br />
make a big difference.<br />
2: Remember, often less is best.<br />
At this stage you may need to<br />
seek some professional advice<br />
to help keep in mind the picture<br />
you want to create.<br />
COLOUR: Paint timber fences and gates, this will give a fresh look. Consider building raised gardens, they will add a point of<br />
interest as well as being practical for growing greens.<br />
3: If your garden and plant<br />
maintenance is high and you’re<br />
finding it hard to cope, then<br />
weed out the problem. For<br />
example, it just maybe time<br />
to realise that the roses are no<br />
longer suitable. Remember you<br />
can always substitute them with<br />
an alternative plant.<br />
4: Consider building raised<br />
gardens with timber or garden<br />
sleepers. Besides adding a point<br />
of interest, you have the added<br />
benefits of a well drained garden<br />
that is easier to maintain. You<br />
may even consider split level<br />
gardens which will add an<br />
aesthetic value to your piece of<br />
paradise.<br />
5: Consider plants that either<br />
give off scent or produce food.<br />
This is an increasingly popular<br />
trend, with the benefits of<br />
producing organic fruit and<br />
vegetables being both healthy for<br />
the body, good for the soul and<br />
satisfying for the pocket.<br />
6: Make your garden is<br />
as maintenance-free as possible.<br />
Consider alternatives to bark<br />
and mulch using non-organic<br />
product such as decorative<br />
stone and using a quality nonwoven<br />
weed matt for weed<br />
control.<br />
7: Consider painting or<br />
staining timber fences,<br />
retaining walls and other<br />
wooden structures. This<br />
will give a fresh look and can<br />
be colour co-ordinated to<br />
enhance your overall look and<br />
design.<br />
8: If the task is too much or<br />
you need some advice call your<br />
professional landscaper for help.<br />

Wednesday <strong>October</strong> <strong>24</strong> <strong>2018</strong> 31<br />
Grow your own food<br />
FOR MANY years, Labour<br />
Weekend has been the traditional<br />
time for planting out a full range<br />
of summer vegetables and flowers.<br />
Hopefully, you have planned<br />
ahead and prepared your soil<br />
ready for planting. If not, then<br />
add in plenty of compost or<br />
garden mix and combine well<br />
with your existing soil before you<br />
plant out.<br />
There is something special<br />
about growing your own vegetables<br />
– watching them grow from<br />
seed/seedling to a scrumptious<br />
crop through your own tender<br />
loving care might be why they<br />
taste better.<br />
No matter how big or small the<br />
space available; you can successfully<br />
grow veges in regular garden<br />
beds, raised beds or in pots<br />
and containers.<br />
Tasty vegetables to plant now<br />
include beans, beetroot, carrots,<br />
celery, corn, cucumber, onions,<br />
peas, pumpkin, radish, potatoes,<br />
spinach, tomatoes and zucchini,<br />
not to mention the great range of<br />
lettuces available.<br />
If space really is an issue, there<br />
are plenty of dwarf varieties you<br />
can grow. For plants that need<br />
support like tomatoes or beans,<br />
put your support stakes/structures<br />
in place before you plant<br />
TASTY: Vegetables to plant now include corn. It is easy to<br />
grow and tastes great when barbecued.<br />
your young plant – so you don’t<br />
disturb the roots later on. Use old<br />
pantyhose to tie plants to support<br />
structures – they are soft, so<br />
won’t damage the stem.<br />
Summer flowering annuals<br />
can also be planted now in<br />
either beds or large containers.<br />
Flower varieties to grow are<br />
alyssum, aster, cornflower,<br />
cosmos, livingstone daisy, lobelia,<br />
marigold, nemesia, portulaca,<br />
petunia, statice, salvia, stock,<br />
sunflowers and zinnia – to name<br />
just a few.<br />
Also, think about planting<br />
some varieties in your vegetable<br />
garden to help attract bees and<br />
other beneficial insects to aid<br />
pollination.<br />
Fresh herbs can also now be<br />
safely planted, such as basil,<br />
chives, dill, marjoram, mint,<br />
oregano, parsley, sage, tarragon,<br />
thyme and rosemary. They can<br />
be grown successfully in containers<br />
or in the garden, preferring a<br />
hot, free-draining site.<br />
As trees and shrubs come into<br />
spring growth, fertilise.<br />
Citrus trees should be fed with<br />
a specific citrus fertiliser. Do not<br />
apply fertiliser in very dry hot<br />
conditions such as the peak of<br />
summer when plants can suffer<br />
from heat or moisture stress.<br />
WITH THE mowing season<br />
upon us, it’s time to make sure<br />
your lawn mower is as ready as<br />
you are to tackle those lawn care<br />
chores.<br />
A regular, simple maintenance<br />
programme to keep your mower<br />
performing at its best and to extend<br />
its useful life. Just follow this<br />
easy checklist:<br />
■•Change the oil<br />
Oil is the engine’s lifeblood that<br />
removes contaminants, lubricates<br />
parts and dissipates heat.<br />
That’s why it’s important to make<br />
sure the crankcase contains an<br />
adequate supply of fresh oil.<br />
Before changing the oil, run the<br />
engine for several minutes until it<br />
warms up. Then, stop the engine,<br />
disconnect the spark plug and<br />
drain the oil into a pan or similar<br />
container. Refill the crankcase<br />
with high quality detergent oil<br />
that has a SG/CD classification<br />
on the label. Take the used oil to a<br />
local recycling center. It’s environmentally<br />
unfriendly-and illegalto<br />
dump used motor oil on the<br />
ground or into a storm drain.<br />
•Check the air filter<br />
Your air-cooled engine needs<br />
a constant supply of clean air.<br />
If your mower engine takes a<br />
disposable paper filter, simply<br />
replace it with a new filter. If the<br />
engine requires a foam-type filter,<br />
remove the sponge from the filter<br />
Local<br />
News<br />
Now<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
Look after your mower<br />
assembly, soak it in kerosene and<br />
squeeze it dry. Then apply a few<br />
drops of clean oil into the sponge<br />
and place it back in the filter assembly.<br />
•Use fresh fuel<br />
Petrol turns stale after about 60<br />
days and can form gum in your<br />
engine’s carburettor, resulting in<br />
expensive repairs. Eliminate the<br />
problem by routinely filling your<br />
engine’s tank with fresh fuel. If<br />
petrol must remain in the tank for<br />
a prolonged period of time, add a<br />
fuel stabiliser to keep it fresh and<br />
to ensure a clean fuel system that<br />
leads to easier starting.<br />
•Sharpen the blade<br />
Think about what a dull razor<br />
does to your face or legs when<br />
shaving. Similarly, a dull mower<br />
blade can bruise, bend and damage<br />
your lawn, making it susceptible<br />
to disease. After disconnecting<br />
the spark plug, examine the<br />
blade for wear or damage. Have it<br />
professionally sharpened at least<br />
once annually.<br />
•Keep things clean<br />
While you’re checking the<br />
blade, remove any dirt and cakedon<br />
grass under the mower. Squirt<br />
vegetable oil cooking spray<br />
underneath to reduce clipping<br />
build-up and to prevent rust. This<br />
will also save you a lot of work<br />
when cleaning the mower after<br />
each use.<br />

Series - sacred<br />
geometric patterns<br />
integrate the banal<br />
object of a doily with a<br />

central focal point.<br />
Hamish Southcott has a<br />
passion for environmental<br />
issues and a preference<br />
for using reclaimed<br />
materials. Discs of native<br />
timber are engraved with<br />
impressions of evocative<br />

MORE THAN JUST A LIFESTYLE<br />
Complete with a modern home featuring all the extras, a large<br />
shed that will appeal to the engineer and an abundance of other<br />
sheds, this 9.6 hectare property in a renowned grass growing<br />
area is no ordinary lifestyle block. Extensively developed by the<br />
current owners into what can only be described as the model<br />
small holding, there has been no stone left unturned in getting<br />
the property to where it is today.<br />
The naturally warm 253m 2 three bedroom plus study home is<br />
surrounded by sweeping lawns, gardens and established trees<br />
giving a setting which is hard to replicate. The home is heated by<br />
a free standing logburner (wetback) and is set for the sun with<br />
its dual decks plus features a large country style kitchen, open<br />
plan living/dining, separate formal living area, two bathrooms<br />
including the ensuite, loads of storage, a separate laundry/<br />
mudroom and large attached double garage.<br />
The property is subdivided into multiple paddocks with a central<br />
lane, troughs and hot wires and has a good fertiliser history and<br />
re-grassing history. There are also cattle and sheep yards, a<br />
chook area and vege garden area with glass house.<br />
Properties of this size and so well improved are rare and we can<br />
guarantee inspection will impress.<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) chief<br />
executive Kevin Lampen-Smith says<br />
there are a handful of key traits to watch<br />
out 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,” Lampen-<br />
Smith 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,” Lampen-Smith suggests.<br />
Lampen-Smith explains insulation<br />
should be replaced or topped up if it’s less<br />
than 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, Lampen-Smith says it’s important<br />
to watch out for dampness. Signs of<br />
dampness include musty smells, damp<br />
or mouldy wardrobe contents, mould<br />
forming behind paintings or furniture,<br />
or mould or watermarks on ceilings or<br />
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,” Lampen-<br />
Smith 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,” Lampen-Smith 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 />

BUILDING<br />
a new home<br />
So you’ve decided to build a new home. Before you dive in<br />
boots and all, there are a number of steps that need to be<br />
followed. Cover all the bases when building a home…<br />
STEP 1: FINANCE<br />
Firstly it is important to organise your<br />
finances in advance in order to work out<br />
what you can realistically afford. There<br />
is little point getting excited about an<br />
impending building project if you have<br />
no idea how far your finances will stretch.<br />
Draw up a realistic budget of your present<br />
household expenses to see whether<br />
building a new home is in fact feasible.<br />
Once you have an idea of how much money<br />
you are able to outlay, without causing<br />
yourself excessive hardship, it is time to<br />
start investigating the costs involved when<br />
constructing your new home.<br />
STEP 2: PURCHASING A SECTION<br />
Buying the right section is an essential<br />
part of the building process and as such<br />
there are a number of important things<br />
that need to be considered.<br />
Is the section close to all necessary<br />
amenities, such as schools, shops, hospitals<br />
and public transport? Does it have a view,<br />
plenty of sun, privacy and good drainage<br />
or is it prone to flooding, windy and miles<br />
away from civilisation? Visit at different<br />
times of the day, in different weather<br />
conditions and if time is on your side,<br />
different times of the year to see how much<br />
sun it gets in the winter when the sun is at<br />
its lowest.<br />
Also take into consideration its potential<br />
as a building site – is access difficult? This<br />
could have an impact on building costs.<br />
Find out from your local council what<br />
services, such as water, sewage, power,<br />
phone and gas, are connected to the site.<br />
Check whether there is good television<br />
and mobile phone reception, or whether<br />
your new address means you have to<br />
scale the clothesline and hold your phone<br />
in an obscure position just to send a text<br />
message.<br />
The neighbourhood can also be a<br />
contentious issue when purchasing a<br />
section. What are the neighbours like<br />
and are their properties well kept? Are<br />
there overhanging trees that could cause a<br />
nuisance? Could there be a noise problem<br />
from them or their pets? Get a feel for the<br />
area, listening for traffic, animals or noisy<br />
machinery that is in use around the clock.<br />
If there is vacant land adjacent to your<br />
proposed site find out whether the council<br />
has any plans for it and what can and can’t<br />
be built there.<br />
Before buying the section, you also need<br />
to find out what is in your council’s district<br />
plan, and what resource consents you<br />
might need. You also need to request a LIM<br />
report, which is held by your local council<br />
and outlines all information pertaining to<br />
your section regarding rates, land features,<br />
environmental issues, restrictions on land<br />
or building use, resource consents issued,<br />
potential contaminations, details about<br />
septic tanks, hazardous substances and<br />
storm water or sewerage drains.<br />
The report may also contain information<br />
about sacred areas and may provide aerial<br />
photographs. This information may help<br />
you make the all important decision to<br />
either buy the section or leave it alone.<br />
It will also give you an indication as to<br />
whether the purchase price is fair.<br />
STEP 3: CHOOSE AND BRIEF THE<br />
DESIGNER<br />
Before deciding on a designer for your<br />
building project, it is necessary to conduct<br />
some research in order to find out which<br />
type will suit you best.<br />
Speak to a few before making your<br />
choice and liaise with them periodically<br />
once work on the design of your home has<br />
commenced. Get involved by gathering<br />
ideas for materials, fixtures and fittings<br />
and discuss them with your designer.<br />
STEP 4: FINDING A BUILDER<br />
Once the plans are drawn, the materials<br />
have been chosen, and your finance is<br />
arranged, the next step in the building<br />
process is likely to be finding a builder.<br />
Hiring the right builder is crucial to the<br />
whole building experience. People who<br />
have been involved in building a house<br />
typically report that the key factor in<br />
making it a happy experience is finding<br />
a good builder and subcontractors.<br />
The most common things that soured<br />
their building experience were poor<br />
workmanship, contractors not turning<br />
up, no communication, complaints<br />
overlooked, problems left unresolved,<br />
messages ignored and delays. However,<br />
in contrast, people who had positive<br />
experiences reported that the builders<br />
they had hired were highly skilled, honest,<br />
knowledgeable, patient and sympathetic to<br />
their goals and budget.<br />

Your guide to all things Real Estate<br />
in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District<br />
Building a warm, energy<br />
efficient healthy home<br />
Six essentials to think<br />
about when you are<br />
building a new home<br />
1. Site position A home built with a<br />
northerly aspect to make use of the sun<br />
and protected from prevailing winds will<br />
be warmer and more efficient. If possible<br />
check your building site at different times<br />
of the day to see where and how the sun<br />
hits the property as well as looking out for<br />
any low lying areas.<br />
2. Sun According to energywise.<br />
govt.nz, the sun sends 500 Watts of heat<br />
through each square metre of unshaded<br />
window on sunny winter days. That’s a<br />
tremendous opportunity to harness the<br />
sun’s energy for your home. Adding solar<br />
panels to your roof is another form of<br />
utilising the sun to convert into power<br />
for your home. Choosing a house plan<br />
that is designed to make use of the sun’s<br />
energy will help reduce your power bills<br />
and create a warmer, healthier home<br />
throughout the year.<br />
3. Size & Shape Size, they say, is<br />
everything. However, you can have a<br />
bigger home that is both warm and<br />
healthy. The shape of your home will also<br />
help determine its ability to retain heat and<br />
its energy efficiency. Complex designs will<br />
require more planning and creativity when<br />
it comes to heating. Things to consider<br />
are the internal wall and ceiling height;<br />
number, size and placement of windows;<br />
as well as the shape and flow of rooms.<br />
Also, think about the areas you plan to<br />
use. Generally, the smaller and simpler<br />
the shape of the house, the easier it will<br />
be to heat and therefore be more energy<br />
efficient.<br />
4. Heat Retention This requires<br />
not only good design but also making<br />
good use of the available energy efficient<br />
building products available on the market.<br />
Ways to improve heat retention include a<br />
high level of insulation in walls, ceilings<br />
and flooring – above the required building<br />
code, double glazing with insulated<br />
framing, minimalising plumbing and<br />
electrical services in external wall cavities<br />
and creating airtightness for external<br />
doors.<br />
5. Thermal mass This is a form of<br />
passive heating. Thermal mass is a solid<br />
material such as concrete, which absorbs<br />
the sun’s energy during the day and then<br />
releases that energy in the form of heat<br />
when temperatures drop. Use tiles in front<br />
of doors and floor-to-ceiling windows to<br />
help harness additional heat.<br />
6. Heating Along with an excellent<br />
northerly aspect and appropriate<br />
insulation, the planning and installation<br />
of an energy efficient heating system is<br />
essential – this could be a combination<br />
of heat pump and log/pellet/gas fire or a<br />
central heating system. Consider the size<br />
of your home and the day-to-day use of<br />
the rooms. Look for products that have an<br />
energy star ratings.<br />

A happy healthy home<br />
More than ever, we now require our<br />
homes to be a sanctuary - a primate haven<br />
where the cares and pressures of the world<br />
do not intrude. The home should be an<br />
enveloping, warm and creative environment<br />
where family members of all ages feel<br />
relaxed and safe.<br />
The longer you live in your home, the<br />
more likely you are to feel in sync with it.<br />
As the seasons come and go you’ll have<br />
got to know which rooms are sunny and<br />
which ones need brightening.<br />
You’ll have noted areas prone to damp.<br />
You’ll have observed where different family<br />
members like to spend their time and why.<br />
You might have come to the conclusion<br />
that major changes are required to make<br />
your home as healthy as possible, or perhaps<br />
you’ve concluded that a few simple tweaks<br />
will do the trick. Either way, good planning<br />
is essential, so take your time, write lots of<br />
lists and do your research thoroughly.<br />
MATERIALS<br />
The ‘make-do-and-mend’ culture<br />
that has grown during the recession<br />
places emphasis on the satisfaction that<br />
can be found in incorporating natural<br />
materials with vintage items. Pieces of<br />
driftwood, collections of shells, that lovely<br />
moss-covered garden bench or a ‘cleverly’<br />
revived piece of furniture all have their place<br />
in the healthy home and its surroundings.<br />
This trend steers away from plastics and<br />
synthetic materials.<br />
HEATING AND VENTILATION<br />
A home needs to be cool in summer,<br />
with plenty of natural ventilation, and<br />
warm in winter. Traditional open fires are<br />
being phased out and home owners are<br />
discovering the joys of installing modern<br />
wood burners, using gas for heating or<br />
installing a heat pump. All these options are<br />
healthy - technology has come a long way<br />
and most choices will see you saving money<br />
in the long run.<br />
STORAGE<br />
While a minimalist style might be fine for<br />
single people or couples without kids, when<br />
the patter of tiny feet comes along, good<br />
storage is going to be vital at every stage of<br />
a child’s life - be they babies or teens - they<br />
come with clutter. The more you can contain<br />
that clutter the better in terms of both your<br />
mental health and general safety.<br />
There are any number of options available,<br />
from professionally designed cupboards<br />
and wardrobes, to the simple lidded plastic<br />
boxes you can buy at chain stores. While<br />
some people claim they thrive in a messy<br />
environment. I know from experience that a<br />
lovely, orderly home is good for the soul.<br />
COLOUR<br />
Choosing the<br />
right colours<br />
for your home<br />
can make a big<br />
difference. Small,<br />
dark rooms<br />
can be opened<br />
up and made<br />
brighter simply<br />
by choosing the<br />
right paint. If<br />
you can afford an<br />
interior designer<br />
or colour<br />
consultant to<br />
help, I do advise<br />
it. Today’s<br />
homes tend to<br />
be more open<br />
plan, so choose a palette of two or three<br />
basic colours and use them throughout to<br />
achieve cohesion and harmony.<br />
