Big night for Waihora rugby at Canty Sports Awards
TOP CLUB: Former president Chris Thormley and current president Mike Dixon welcome the latest addition to an already full
trophy cabinet after Waihora was named club of the year at the Canterbury Sports Awards. PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER
• By Jacob Page
WAIHORA’S bulging trophy
cabinet now contains another
prestigious accolade.
The rugby club was named
sports club of the year at the
Canterbury Sports Awards on
Friday night at the Air Force
Museum of New Zealand.
Waihora’s division one team
dominated Canterbury country
rugby last year, winning the
combined competition and the
Ellesmere title, as well as the
Murray Cooper Shield. They lost
just two games all season.
New clubrooms were also
built at Waihora and the club’s
junior numbers are increasing.
Waihora Rugby Club
president Mike Dixon said
winning the award was “a huge
thrill.” •Turn to page 20

hit with
youth
crime
‘wave’
– police
• By Anan Zaki
YOUTH CRIME is on the rise in
Rolleston.
Police said for the past two
months officers have been dealing
with a “wave” of young offenders.
The latest statistics also
confirmed the number of youth
offenders increased in the town
over the course of last year.
However, the police figures
showed in Arthur’s Pass, Darfield,
Leeston and Lincoln, youth
offending remained low, with all
stations combined recording 15
unique youth offenders, less than
half of Rolleston.
Sergeant Alex Pickover has
witnessed the steady rise in youth
offending, which includes theft,
intimidation and vandalism.
“They have come to our
attention mainly for anti-social
behaviour, some of them have
been sleeping rough in the toilets
in the parks, some have done
minor shoplifting,” he said.

WAIHORA’S NOD at the Canterbury Sports Awards
(see page 1) was not only an indication of their achievements
in 2018, but also the rise of country rugby.
The club was more than deserving of the club of the year
award after winning the combined country competition,
Ellesmere title, and the Murray Cooper Shield.
Success has also come off the field, most notably in their
impressive new clubroom facilities, which would be the envy
of any club around the country.
With the recent news of the demise of the annual Craw
Shield fixture between Canterbury Country and Canterbury
Metro, it was nice to see Waihora show us a great example of
how country rugby is well and truly alive.

“We are ready. We’re ready

“When I say that, of course

Fulton Hogan submitted a

quarry at a 170ha site bordered
by Curraghs, Dawsons, Jones

last year.
Quarry opponents have been
in regular communication in

“As soon as it’s notified we will

Last month, Fulton Hogan

Rolleston in midst of youth crime wave
•From page 1
The crimes were often
committed out of boredom and
the ages of those involved ranged
from 13 to 18, Sergeant Pickover
said.
“For example [two weeks ago]
a group of youths decided it
would be fun to throw rocks at
somebody’s boat,” he said.
“Some of
them are
hanging around
the community
centre,
intimidating
the staff who
work there.”
Another
Bruce Ward
teenager stole
a bike from
Rolleston College early last
month, he said.
A number youths have been
referred to Youth Aid and
trespassed from district council
properties, Sergeant Pickover
said.
Over the past month, police
have put increasing pressure on
troublesome youths in Rolleston.
“If they’re riding bicycles
without helmets, they’re
getting tickets. If they’re found
wandering around the streets at
night, they’re being removed and
taken home,” Sergeant Pickover
TROUBLE: Rolleston is experiencing a “wave” of youth crime,
say police.
said. The main concern is that
petty crimes could lead to more
serious crimes.
“We’re trying to get on top
of them now and I think we’re
getting there and getting good
results,” he said.
Selwyn Youth Aid Senior
Constable Bruce Ward said he
met with five families last week
about their children causing
trouble in Rolleston.
Two youths have been moved
out of the area by their families
but the problem is not over, said
Senior Constable Ward.
Cannabis use is another part of
the problem.
UNIQUE OFFENDERS

“There’s quite a bit of cannabis
around and that’s causing some
issues,” he said.
“In the last three weeks, 10
youths I’ve dealt with, all of them
have used cannabis.”
He wants to address issues of
teenage boredom in Rolleston.
“One thing I would like to do
is meet with the district council
and some youth networks and
see what we can do with this. It’s
not an easy one to solve,” Senior
Constable Ward said.
It’s not the first time Rolleston
has gone through a wave of youth
crime, Sergeant Pickover said.
“Every couple of years we’ll
have a new group of youths that
come to notice and then it dies
down and then we get another
wave that comes up,” he said.
“That’s always been the case
out here in Rolleston.”
The crime wave is concentrated
in Rolleston and hasn’t spread to
other parts of the district.
Said Sergeant Pickover: “What
parents need to realise is, are
you aware where your child is
and what they are doing at 10
o’clock at night or two in the
morning?”
“Some of these kids are leaving
home, climbing out of the
window whilst mum and dad are
asleep, or they’re going out saying
they’re going somewhere else.
But do the parents know who
they’re going with or what they’re
doing?”

Economic growth continues
• By Anan Zaki
STRONG consumer and
tourism spending has
contributed to another year of
economic growth in the district.
In the latest Infometrics Quarterly
Economic Monitor report
released by the district council
last month, gross domestic
product growth was at 5.4 per
cent, compared to the national
average of 2.7 per cent.
The report
covered the 12
month period
to December
2018.
One winner
was the tourism
sector –
with spending
Michael Oakley
growing at
$112.9 million.
This was a 14.2 per cent
increase from $98.9 million in
2017.
Ballooning Canterbury
co-founder Michael Oakley believed
the tourism spending was
higher than the reported $112.9
million as every transaction
could not be tracked.
In spite of a strong 2018 overall,
the Hororata-based business
endured a difficult end of year,
Mr Oakley said.
“We had a very tough November
[and] December because of
the weather. January was about
right and February was probably
our biggest month ever,” he said.
Mr Oakley believed better
weather contributed to the
turnaround over late summer.
Successful marketing also
played a role in a good 2018.
“Our business is growing
and we’re making a name for
ourselves now and we’re getting
a natural increase,” Mr Oakley
said.
The number of guest nights
increased to 85,011 from 80,005
in 2017.
Selwyn Business Group
Founder Clint Ward said business
confidence is high.
Consumer spending increased
by 14.4 per cent across the
district.
In the 12 months to last December,
consumer spending was
at $93.9 million – compared to
$85.2 million the year before.
“It’s very positive. There’s a lot
of people trying out new ideas, a
lot of positive energy out there,”
Mr Ward said.
However, consumer activity
has “quietened” due to the end
of the financial year, he said.
Businesses have also been
happy to spend money to grow,

which has contributed to the
rise.
Population growth was an
easy option to highlight growth
but more and more people are
confident to spend in Selwyn
said Mr Ward – who has been in
the district for about 20 years.
“It’s [the district] the place
to be. With the advent of the
motorway it’s [Rolleston] just
going to be the town of the
future.”
“It does give confidence that
there is a future,” Mr Ward said.
House sales grew by 11.9 per
cent to 957 sales, compared to
855 in 2017.

Elderly man
reunited
with ‘CHICK’
AN ELDERLY Leeston man’s
stolen ute has been returned.
The red Nissan Navara – with
the registration CHICK – was stolen
on February 1 and was found
in Bromley on February 28. It was
returned to the owner, who is in
his mid-70s, last month.
Leeston police Constable Herb
Inwood said the case is being
handled by Christchurch Metro
Police.
No charges have been laid for
the theft, but a police spokeswoman
said inquiries are ongoing.
Constable Inwood said the
case highlighted lack of security
awareness by older people.
Leaving the car running was
common in years gone by, but it
should not be done today, he said.
Constable Inwood said Leeston
is not alone for elderly being
targeted and similar incidents
are increasing in Darfield and
Lincoln.
CCTV picked up footage of
a person wearing a grey hoodie
entering the red ute at 12.23pm

Fire rages, homes at risk
• By Anan Zaki
AN APPETITE for theatre
is bringing more shows to
Rolleston.
On the back of its successful
inaugural show Joseph in November,
theatre group CentreStage
Rolleston has finalised the cast
for its next
show, Peter Pan
Jr.
The mid July
show is one
of two shows
planned by
the volunteer
Courtney Hyde
theatre group
this year.
CentreStage
production manager Courtney
Hyde said about 100 children
aged eight to 18 auditioned for
Peter Pan early last month.
The final 37 were announced
last Tuesday.
“The fact we got 100 children
auditioning shows there’s a massive
appetite for it [theatre],” Ms
Hyde said.
Now the children and production
crew will get busy rehearsing.
“It’s a massive amount of work.
Basically the rehearsals are for
11 weeks, and we rehearse initially
six hours a week. Halfway
through we will be eight hours a
week then come production week
SUCCESS: The cast from CentreStage Rolleston’s first ever
show, Joseph. The theatre group said it was a massive success. ​
we’ll rehearse every day for hours
and hours,” Ms Hyde said.
After the success of Joseph, Ms
Hyde said the group knew it had
the “right formula.”
“There’s already some like the
Kirwee Players which a lot of us
are involved with and its been going
for 43 years,” Ms Hyde said.
“But with Rolleston growing
so big, we saw a big gap there
and that’s why we decided to do
something.”
The theatre group’s third show
– and second of 2019, Beauty and
the Beast will be held in November.
“This year we intend on doing
the two [shows]. Next year we’re
looking at three and from there
we hope to go even further,” Ms
Hyde said.
“We all do it because we love
it and I’ve been doing the youth
stuff for a few years with other
societies,” she said.
Theatre is great for children and
to watch them learn was the “coolest
satisfaction” Ms Hyde said.
“But also with youth programmes,
its about increasing
our pool of talent.”
•Peter Pan Jr will be held
between July 12 and 14 at
Lincoln High School. For

The student-led event was a
“massive hit” with residents, the

Said Lincoln University
Students’ Association president
Kirsty Havill: “There were a lot
of families who came along, and
kids of all ages. The petting zoo,

Gymnasts soaring to new heights
• By Anan Zaki
AN NATIONAL standard
trampoline is propelling the next
generation of gymnasts in the
district.
West Melton Gymnastics
Club has been welcoming its
students to
the $30,000
trampoline
this term
at its iZone
gymnasium.
Gymnastics
club head
coach Pam
Pam Higgins
Higgins said
opening the
trampoline
for use has been a long time coming.
It is also the only national
competition standard trampoline
in the district.
“We had always intended to
do trampolining when we could
get into a venue of our own.
We’ve been pursuing that for
a while, trying to work with
council in building on the reserve
[domain] at West Melton because
that was our home base,” she
said.
But the club could not secure
a venue in West Melton, so it
shifted to iZone in Rolleston in
term four last year.
“It’s a FIG [Federation
Internationale de Gymnastique]
approved trampoline . . . it
can be used for national level
trampolining although at this
present time we’re working on
recreational,” Mrs Higgins.
But the move felt like starting
from scratch.
“Kids are only just learning
how to do trampolining and how
to use it so it’s quite a process,”
Mrs Higgins said.
The club purchased the trampoline
just after Christmas, but
hasn’t been able to make it available
for use until the start of the
school term.
“All the kids flock to it all the
time. It’s a real hit. But of course,
one of the hard bits is trying
to separate trampolining from
gymnastics because they all
want to use the trampoline,” Mrs
Higgins said.

A NUMBER of roading projects
are under way across the district.
Work has begun to seal a 1km
long unsealed stretch of Dunns
Crossing Rd, between Boulez
Mews and Selwyn Rd.
The project includes shoulder
widening, road pavement construction
and chip sealing, and is
expected to be completed by the
end of April.
Contractors will be safely
managing traffic throughout the
project through speed restrictions,
lane closures, and give way
controls.
Work will start in this month
on a street frontage upgrade of
Tosswill Rd in Prebbleton, to be
completed by the end of May.
The upgrade involves sealing
the long grass shoulder on the
southern side of the road, to create
a parallel parking lane up to
the Domain entrance.
New kerb and channel and
footpath construction will be installed
on the southern side of the
road over a total length of 365m,
from the Prebbleton Domain to
Ashford Ave.
The upgrade also involves
stormwater improvements.
The contractors have now

Lincoln to host
hypnotist show
Peter Powers
ONE OF the world’s most
successful hypnotists will
perform in Lincoln.
Peter Powers’ live stage
shows draw big crowds in each
of the countries where he performs.
Now those in the district will
have an opportunity
to
see the British
performer one
night only in
Lincoln on June
22.
The announcement
of the Powers
show comes
after the “successful” Selwyn
Sounds 2019 One Day Music
Event – the third year the event
has been held at the Lincoln
Domain.
The hypnotist show is run by
3CG Events – which owns Live
in Lincoln. It said it is committed
to bringing quality entertainment
to the district.
Referred to as “a comedy genius,”
“a hypnotist without equal”
and “the best in the business,”
Powers delights in the antics of
his hapless volunteers almost as
much as his audiences.
Although the observer experiences
a rollercoaster ride, on the
very edge of what could be considered
sane and proper, Powers
manages to give an ample
glimpse of potential danger and
mind-manipulation gone-wrong
while impossibly striking the
balance of not taking hypnosis
too far.
As well as displaying his skillful
stagecraft in venues around
the world, Powers has starred
in and presented 60 of his own
television shows in five different
countries.
These have been broadcast
in more than 30 countries
worldwide. He writes and creates
unique formats for broadcast in
a wide spectrum of genre and
devotes much time to his pursuit
of knowledge and practice in
the field of hypnosis for selfimprovement,
behavioural
modification, extra-ordinary
perception, altered states of
consciousness and the control of
chronic pain.

will perform on June 22 at

Crashing the stage
A FEW columns back I boldly
claimed we would be working
towards getting Vittoria back into
sleeping in the cot.
Guess how many times she’s
slept in the cot since then?
Once and it was a nap. Oh well,
I guess being woken up by being
kicked in the head is my life still.
Anyway, on Monday I took
Vittoria to a kid’s music show at
The Piano. I’d never been there
before and the only other show
by Cubbin Theatre I’d been to
was in an enclosed room.
Seeing the setting for this show
was a little bit of a shock.
Vittoria is so full on these days
that the high stairs, easy to access
stage, live band and other kids all
around made me sure something
would go wrong. Don’t get me
wrong, it’s the perfect setting for
what was a great show. I was just
worried it was not the perfect
setting for Vittoria.
In the intense glare of my
own imagined spotlight, I could
already see the scathing glares of
the mums as she fell over on the
stairs or grabbed an instrument
off the stage.
I grabbed our seats, put the
nappy bag down then stood up
and followed Vittoria up the
stairs. Then down the stairs. Then
up the stairs.
When the music started
LIMELIGHT: Vittoria makes
an unexpected stage
debut with the members of
Cubbin Theatre.
Vittoria was happy dancing along
and slowly climbed down the
stairs to boogie in front of the
stage.
Suddenly she made her move
on the stage. My nightmare was
VITTORIA
& Matt
coming true. I grabbed her three
times before she decided we
would go to the top of the stairs
to dance.
Once she’d got me into a false
sense of security, she rushed
to the other side of the theatre
(somehow collecting a pretzel on
the way) and down the stairs.
Before I could get to her she
was on the stage.
Oh God. Sweat is beading on
my forehead. My mind races with
thoughts of the audience judging
me. Vittoria ran to the back,
waved at one musician came
back to the front to play with
something on the stage and then
ran off to the other side where I
managed to grab her.
She didn’t touch any
instruments or get me into
trouble, so all good.
Bring on the next show.

TWO WEEKS ago I found a
small green crab spider in the
garden known as Diaea ambara.
These spiders are called crab
spiders as their two pairs of front
legs are larger than their rear legs
and curve forward.
Their ability to move sideways
and backwards is also similar to
crabs. They are also called flower
spiders as they often found in
flowers and ambush insects
coming for a feed of nectar or
pollen.
The species appears to be able
to change its colour to camouflage
itself to aid its predatory
nature.
These spiders are small, approximately
4-8 mm long, are
found on foliage and flowers in
open habitats, are widespread
around New Zealand and are
endemic.

ADMISSION
16 th ANNUAL
ART EXHIBITION 2019
Fri 5th April 7.30pm-9pm, Sat 6th & Sun 7th April, 10am-4pm
Rolleston Community Centre
The successful and fun Annual Arts Heart Exhibition
of Selwyn Arts & Crafts is again being held at the
Rolleston Community Centre the weekend of 6,7
April for the 16th time. This year there are even
more artists showing their works.
For three years in a row, the winner of the People’s
Choice Award has been Jennifer Stebbings. The
committee are looking forward to see if she can win
again this year with one of her five works. There
are too many artists to name, but Mike Glover,
Canterbury’s famous and recognisable pastel artist,
has work available as does Henry Turner.
Henry has entered since he was 12 and this year
will be his eighth consecutive year showing at the
Community Centre. The late Margaret McFedries,
founding member of Arts Heart, saw his talent and
provided the initial encouragement. Henry is going
from strength to strength with his own exhibitions
and representation in galleries. This year he had a
work selected for the prestigious NZ Printmaking
and Painting Award.
Henry has always been a bird lover with a natural
talent to capture their beauty. Many say that it is
the eyes that give life and soul to the work. Recent
works with gold paint and distinctive, bold colours
capture the essence of an emotion or place with
many ideas and places bth real and imaginary
being painted in gouache. The Honorable Amy
Adams appreciated his skills when she purchased
one of his works several years ago. He was talent
spotted by a Selwyn Gallery Committee Member
at this exhibition too and this lead to a shared
and a solo show there. So the exhibition is
a marvellous start for young artists, as it is
equally a chance to for collectors and
art lovers be in early to get their work at
a reasonable price. As the commission
is only 15%, many artists find they can
provide work at a great price for the
public. Be sure to drop in and have
a look in the weekend, $2 entry,
children free.

Half Way House, located
at the intersection of Main
South Rd and Weedons Rd,
and the railway station that
was built near Jones Rd in
1866.
However, more recently
the focal points of Weedons
have become the primary
school on Weedons Ross
Rd, the golf club and the
domain.
The Weedons Domain
came about through the
Canterbury Provincial
Government setting aside
58½ acres of land in 1876
as a recreation reserve at its
current location between
Maddisons and McClellands
Rds. Ten acres of the
reserve was set aside for a
cemetery, but the land was
never used as such.
At this time the reserve
came under the control
of the Courtenay Roads
Board (precursor to the
later county and district
councils), which appointed
a committee of
local residents, known as
the Weedons Cemetery
and Recreation Board, to
administer the land on
behalf of the community.
The domain has been administered
under the same
system until the present
day.
The continued input of
local families has ensured
the domain has remained
an important focal point
for the community.

This is a collection of recent work from Llew, half of which has not been
shown before. One group, on mythic themes, explores the human condition
metaphorically. The remaining work treats the human body in Llew’s traditional
manner, exploring the joy of movement as a celebration of life. All the bronzes are
initially carved in wood or marble and are from editions of seven.

This printmaking technique which I have
developed, came about from my explorations with
harakeke / NZ flax and fine art over many years.
I sought to bring these threads
together and plait them into one
form of expression. I make the
figures, objects and textures,
and hand print them in different
colours and compositions to make
one-off but related pictures. I am
also hoping to evoke an emotional
response to the material itself.

place in the universe. It would be great to see
a resurgence of natural materials
such as harakeke into everyday use,
and for us to continue to innovate
alternatives to single-use plastics.
More broadly, my work asks
questions about how we see
ourselves in relation to our
environment and to each other. In
this body of work I am considering
my relationship with Llew, my love,
and with the concept of Love itself.

point of Weedons community
Our Great
history
WITH WAYNE STACK
Some family names have been
prevalent since the Weedons Domain
Board was first established
in 1889 (replacing the old board),
with none more so than the Curragh
family.
Robert and Eleanor Curragh
migrated from Ireland in 1860
and purchased farmland on what
became Curraghs Rd where they
built a sod cottage, one of the
earliest houses in the area. Robert
was a member of the first domain
committee and one of his seven
sons, Henry Curragh, later served
on the committee for over 60
years. Henry’s son, Jim, followed
in the family tradition and was a
committee member for 52 years;
many of those years serving as
chair. Remarkably, there had
been a Curragh serving on the
domain committee for 120 years
when Jim retired in 2009.
Initially the domain was rough
tussock land that was used for
planting trees that were grown
to use as fence posts which were
sold to local residents. The land
was also leased out to farmers
within the area who planted various
crops that helped to keep the
land under control.
Cricket has remained the main
sport played on the domain. The
140 year old Weedons Cricket
Club was founded in 1879 and
cricket has been played continuously
on the reserve ever since;
making it one of the oldest
cricket venues still to be used in
the New Zealand.
The Weedons Cricket Club has
been pivotal in the cultural and
social development of the area.
This has seen a number of generations
of families playing for
the club, with the most prevalent
example being the Chatterton
family who have been associated
with the club since the early
20-century until present.
The club is one of the largest
clubs in the Selwyn District and
its future remains promising due
to the strength and numbers of
both its senior and juniors teams.
The Weedons Tennis Club
POPULAR: The Weedons Tennis Club has been long
established at the Weedons Domain.
has also been a long-established
user of the domain, with a tennis
court having been laid on
the domain in the early 1900s.
Tennis proved a popular pastime
for both men and women at this
time, which along with cycling,
provided women with an opportunity
to play sport and be
liberated for a time from their
traditional domestic roles.
The first courts were established
near the original main
entrance off Maddisons Rd, but
new asphalt courts were later
built on their current site near
the domain pavilion.
In May 1955 a special meeting
was held to discuss the building
of a sports pavilion on the domain
to cater for both the cricket
and tennis clubs. However, it was
not until late 1957 that an 850
sq ft concrete block pavilion was
completed at a cost of £1191. The
cost of the build was financed
through locally-raised funds,
a donation from the Domain
Board and a Government grant.
Golf is another sport that
remains an integral feature of
the domain. In 1965 the domain
board passed a resolution that an
area of the domain be set aside
for a golf course to be established
and that approval for this to be
sought from the Commissioner
of Crown Lands.
The following year this led to
the Weedons Country Club being
granted a permit to lease 27 acres
of the domain for a period of 33
years (which has since been extended).
Since that time the golf
club has had land donated by the
Manion family and purchased 30
acres of adjacent farm land to expand
from the original nine-hole
to an 18-hole course.
Over the years the domain has
been used for other activities for
short periods, including a shooting
range for the Weedons Gun
Club in 1910 and the venue for
miniature motorcycle racing in
the early 1950s. During the Second
World War the domain was
used a military training camp
from 1942 to 1945.
Historically, the domain has
played an important part in
providing not only a venue for
local sporting clubs, but also in
establishing a sense of place and
identify for people living in the
Weedons area.
The continued value of the domain
has been recognised by the
Selwyn District Council through
its financing of a new community
pavilion at the domain which will
be officially opened on Friday. It
is intended that the new pavilion
will provide a local venue for
both sporting and community
group events well into the future.

Summer in Selwyn season
“builds community spirit”
Weedons Community Centre open
The Weedons Community Centre will be officially opened on Friday
5 April. Construction of the $830,000 facility began in May 2018 and
was completed in December 2018.
Council Major Projects Property Manager John Reid says the new
Weedons Community Centre will provide a modern facility for the
local community as well as the sports groups who regularly use
the reserve.
“It’s a ‘fit-for-purpose’ facility that recognises the relatively limited
size of the local community, and which will provide the wider
Selwyn region with a small boutique facility available for smaller
functions,” Mr Reid says. “The Weedons Reserve Committee have
worked for many years to replace the old, outdated and damaged
centre. Along with recent upgrades to the tennis and cricket
facilities on the reserve.”
The project has been in the pipeline since 2011 when the first
plans were drawn up, says Weedons Reserve Committee
Chairman Peter Holmes.
“With the many challenges we’ve faced along the way, it’s great to
see the building finally completed. The whole committee has been
heavily involved in the process, while we have had great support
from the staff at the Council,” Mr Holmes says. “This is a community
centre which will be used by the cricket and tennis clubs, but also
by the wider community. This is a great asset for Weedons and one
we should all be proud of.”
The new facility has a multi-purpose room, a kitchen and storeroom,
24 hour accessible toilet and two changing rooms.
Two incredible fetes and a Summer Skate/Scooter Jam in Rolleston rounded out the Council’s
Summer in Selwyn event programme.
The summer has seen Selwyn communities come together at their local reserves, facilities,
pools, skate parks, libraries, halls, schools and basketball courts to enjoy over 60 Council and
community events.
Council events included a Teddy Bears’ Picnic, Summer Skate/Scooter Jams, Outdoor and
Drive-in Family Movies, A Month of Sundays, Pool Parties, Picnics in the Park, Summer 3X3
Basketball Jam, and events at Selwyn Aquatic Centre and Libraries . Some great comments from

phone (03) 347 2800.
Stay bright, use your lights!
Daylight Saving ends this weekend at 2am on Sunday 7 April – that
means it’s going to start getting darker, earlier.
Switch your lights on when driving to make sure you’re visible. The
Road Code says you must use your vehicle headlights from 30
minutes after sunset until 30 minutes before sunrise and at any other
time you can’t clearly see a person or vehicle 100 metres away.
Using your lights will greatly increase your chances of seeing and
being seen by other vehicles. We also want to remind cyclists to
have front and rear lights and wear reflective clothing.
It’s important drivers are on the lookout for cyclists, especially when
visibility is poor, around dusk, at dawn and in bad weather.
Selwyn tourism strengthening
Tourism in the Selwyn district continues to grow with increasing
visitor guest nights and spending.
The latest quarterly economic update from analysts Infometrics
showed the Selwyn economy had an increase of 5.4 percent over
the 12 months to December 2018.
A highlight of the update was the continued growth of tourism in the
district, with tourism spending increasing by 14 percent to $113m,
up from $99 million a year ago. *Guest nights are also up by 6.3
percent, or a total of 85,011 nights in the district during the year to
December 2018. This is up from 80,005 a year ago.
Mayor Sam Broughton says this can be attributed to the hard work
of local operators and the Council’s efforts in supporting that work.
“More visitors are seeing our district as a place to stop and enjoy
our unique offerings” Mayor Sam says.
The update also showed the unemployment rate had fallen to 2.1
percent, the lowest in two years.
Electronic card consumer spending in the district increased by 14
percent over the year to December 2018, compared to the previous
year. This is well above the national increase of 4.5 percent.
*A guest night is equivalent to one guest spending one night at an
establishment.

Join a social grade
at Waikirikiri Hockey
WAIKIRIKIRI Hockey says
workmates and other groups
looking for a team-building
activity should join its five-a-side
social league.
The games are played at the
Foster Park Turf in Rolleston on
Wednesday nights during terms
2, 3 and 4.
Waikirikiri Hockey runs two
grades, which cater for both
competitive and social players.
The main focus of the social
hockey grades is to give players
with various skill levels a chance
to play and also feel part of the
community.
Social grade one is for teams
with a bit of a competitive edge
and is ideal for people who have
played before.
Social grade two provides
a fun and healthy activity to
enjoy as a team. It is ideal for
adults who want to give hockey
a go or just want to come back
to the sport after a period of
downtime.
Each team must have a
minimum of one female on the
field at all times.
During term four, Waikirikiri
Hockey also runs junior social
hockey for students and pupils in
years 3-4, 5-6 and 7-8.
SPORT
PLAY: Waikirikiri Hockey
offers social hockey grades.
The young players involved also
get the chance to play with their
friends as they can put their own
team together.

Rolleston College mates get one
over adults on basketball court
• By Jacob Page
A GROUP of year 11 Rolleston
College mates with a passion for
basketball have proven they can
foot it on the court with adults.
In what was preparation for
the secondary school season,
which starts later this month,
the team known as The Raptors
won the silver medal in the
Action Indoor Sports adult
social competition.
Coach Andre Tessarolo said
just making the final was above
their expectations at the start of
the campaign.
“Playing against adults was
initially a big step up for the
boys, not only mentally but
physically,” he said.
“They had to get used to being
bumped around regularly.”
He said the teammates are
all good friends, which made it
easier to pass on his knowledge.
“They’ve been really
committed and we’ve worked
together on the weekends,”
Tessarolo said.
He said his aim was to play
as few minutes as possible and
let the team figure it out as they
played.
“Hopefully it’s the start of
some good results for the boys,”
he said.

DOMINANCE: The Lincoln High School
mixed touch team will attempt to win
their first national title in December after
bringing home their fourth straight South
Island secondary schools’ title.
Lincoln High line up national touch title
• By Jacob Page
THE LINCOLN High School
Turtles will be aiming to turn
South Island dominance into a
national mixed touch rugby title
in December.
The team wrapped up their
fourth straight South Island
secondary schools’ title a
fortnight ago and will now have
to wait nine months to go one
better than their runner-up spot
12 months ago at the nationals
which will be held in Rotorua.
Lincoln High were undefeated
on their way to the South Island
title.
They won six games and outscored
their opponents 55 to 16.
They took home the title after
beating South Otago High School
14-3 in the final.
Caleb McStay and Sophie
Hawkins each notched up 50
games for the team, with McStay
being the top scorer at the
tournament with 12.
Teacher and co-coach Blair
Johnstone said this team have a
genuine chance of bringing home
a national in December.
“In my 12 years involved with
the team, this is probably the best
one I’ve seen and that was evident
with the results on the field,” he
said. “There’s a great sense of
whanau and they all get on well
and they’re all after that common
goal of winning nationals.”
The squad will now disperse
until at least late September
before preparations for nationals
ramp up.
We’ve got rugby boys,
netball girls, football girls,
equestrian and hockey, so our
kids play a lot of different winter
sport and we always let those
sports and coaches have them
during the winter season,”
Johnstone said.
He said the team have
improved at nationals over the
past three years with ninth, fifth
and a second place finishes.
“It’s a four-year cycle and
hopefully this will be our year,”
Johnstone said.

Waihora honoured with
club of the year award
•From page 1
“We pride ourselves
on doing the best we can
for our club, players and
community, so to win it
was great,” Mr Dixon said.
“We’ve got 19 junior
teams and three senior
teams so it’s big for our
whole club.”
He praised division one
coaches Terry Dalton and
Joff Mooar for what the
team achieved last year.
“For Joff and Terry to
try to up-skill and bring
in new players – they’re
the ones that are doing the
hard work and we just try
to run the club,” he said.
Past president Chris
Thornley, who ended
27 years in the role last
September, was also
on hand to soak up the
moment.
Mr Dixon said the award
would have positive effects
across the whole club.
“We had a big coaches
and managers’ meeting
and we asked them all what
it meant (to be part of the
club) and the three things
that came back were fun,
community and family,”

SELWYN UNITED will
travel to face Nelson
Suburbs on Saturday
knowing they let a golden
opportunity slip
in their 3-3 draw
with FC Twenty11.
A 92nd-minute
goal from a
Callum Smith
corner salvaged
a point for FC
Twenty11 and
prevented Selwyn
United from claiming their
second win of the season
in the Mainland Premier
League.
Chris Brown
he said.
Mooar said the
award was a special
moment. “It’s something
that will be in our trophy
cabinet forever and to win
it in a big sporting region
like Canterbury against
great opposition is a great
feeling,” he said.
“What we achieved last
year was special and I
know Terry and I, as well
as the players, take pride in
it,” Mooar said.
Mr Dixon said the
Selwyn United coach
Chris Brown said the team
struggled to click early but
when they fought back to
take a 3-2 lead late in the
second half, he thought
they had got out
of jail. “We felt it
was three points
dropped in the end,”
he said.
“We didn’t play
well at all but credit
to FC Twenty11,
they battled hard
and probably
deserved a point.”
Brown said his team
improved as the game went
on. “We gave up possession

division one team’s success
would trickle down to the
younger grades.
“The seniors really enjoy
getting involved with the
junior teams,” he said.
“For the senior team to
go so well, for everyone
to get behind them, even
though we didn’t have
clubrooms for the year
– in fact we didn’t have
changing sheds until a
month into the season and
it was a real team effort to
get them over the line.”
Selwyn United head to
Nelson after late goal draw
too easily, things seemed
rushed. It wasn’t a work
rate thing, we just couldn’t
put it together.”
Goals to Hami Davey
Brown, Declan Hickford
and substitute Liam
Pledger were all positives.
As was the effort in the
heart of defence by Jack
Allatt. “Once we got the
lead, we tried to manage
the game and defend our
lead instead of trying to
play our game, which cost
us in the end,” Brown said.
Selwyn United Academy
graduate Johnny Simms
made his debut for the
team.

Top country clubs fire
in the first round of
combined competition
• By Jacob Page
THERE WERE few problems
for the heavyweights in the first
round of the combined country
rugby competition on Saturday.
The competition’s
new format sees
the teams split into
three sections, with
the big names of last
year mostly coming
through unscathed in
a round of high scores
and some tight wins
for others.
Defending
champions Waihora
had no trouble
cruising past Ashley
65-0 in their pool A
encounter.
Experienced back Mark
Maitland scored five of the teams
11 unanswered tries at Tai Tapu.
Co-coach Joff Mooar admitted
it was their defensive effort which
earned some early season smiles.
Last year’s beaten Ellesmere
competition finalists, Darfield,
scraped past a fast-finishing
Hampstead 27-26 in Ashburton
to ensure they are in
striking distance in
pool A.
Prebbleton started
their centenary
season with a pool
C win, but needed
a strong second
half to down Celtic
51-24.
The two teams
went in to halftime
all square at 24 all
before Prebbleton
piled on the points
in the second half.
Richard Ferguson and Tim
Murgatroyd each scored twice in
the win.
Burnham-Dunsandel-Irwell
Joff Mooar
suffered a late 30-25 pool A loss
to Southern.
In Pool B, Springston made
easy work of Ohoka 41-0 in
Mandeville with Conner Hamlin
scoring the last two tries.
Southbridge made hard work of
their 24-20 win against Methven.
The visitors had an 18-point
advantage at halftime but we’re
forced to cling on after being
unable to add to their score in the
second half.
In the pool B and C crossover
game, Lincoln accounted for
Rolleston 25-7.
West Melton were no match
for Saracens, losing their pool C
encounter 50-10, while Hornby
suffered a 38-10 pool A loss to
Kaiapoi.
Glenmark-Cheviot downed
Rakaia 31-24 in their pool B
clash, while Oxford overcame
Hurunui 24-20 in a Friday night
pool C match.
SCORE: Waihora utility back Mark Maitland scored five tries in
his team’s 65-0 win over Ashley at Tai Tapu.

Black Commodore at home on racetrack
Motoring
Ross Kiddie
I’M RELUCTANT to turn down
any invitation that involves laps
on a racetrack.
So when Holden New Zealand
asked me if I would like to spend
a morning at Pukekohe Raceway
with other media, and former
race car driver Greg Murphy
in attendance, I jumped at the
opportunity.
The cars we were to drive were
variations of the new ZB-series
Commodore, both four-cylinder
and V6 models, coinciding with
the first anniversary of its launch
here.
To mark the occasion, Holden
has also issued a limited release
Black Edition variant. It has a
special collection of aesthetic
adornments available in just 40
units throughout April, and is
a no-cost option on the sport
liftback models 2-litre and 3.6-
litre V6.
Notably, the pack includes
black facia inserts, black grille
surrounds, black grille wings,
black window surrounds and
Black Edition badging.
The new Commodore lands
here with three engine variations.
There are two four-cylinder
2-litre models, one petrol and
one diesel, and the V6 which
has four-wheel-drive. The
four-cylinder units are both
turbocharged and drive through
the front wheels only.
While the drivelines are vastly
different to what Commodore
owners have previously enjoyed,
there are both wagon and liftback
options along with varying grade
levels. There are 12 models in the
line-up, this evaluation focuses
on the V6 RS-V liftback.
The new European-sourced
Commodore is everything big car
owners will relate to, it is quiet,
comfortable and in V6 form
it is very powerful, although it
took me a while to get my head
around the fact that it is fourwheel-drive
and the engine sits
transversely under the bonnet,
in contrast to its Aussie-built
predecessors which all had
longitudinal configurations.
Developing 235kW and
381Nm, the engine is strong
and delivers with a nice sound,
it isn’t overbearing, but you can
tell it is an angry, feisty unit
which likes to work hard. Of
course, being a large capacity V6
it doesn’t have to hunt towards
the high end of the rev band, it is
hooked to a conventional ninespeed
automatic transmission
HOLDEN COMMODORE BLACK EDITION: Four-wheel-drive
enhances grip for road or track.
that works to keep the revs low,
changing early so that fuel use
is minimised. On that subject,
Holden claim an 8.9l/100km
(32mpg) combined cycle average
for the V6.
The driveline is wonderful, it
is silky smooth in all areas and
provides that large car power
that we have come to expect
from Commodore. At open road
speed, movement is hushed and it
glides over road ripples balanced
and poised.
A lot of the latter is due to
the all-drive system, the new
Commodore feels controlled
and tight in the chassis. Saying
that, the suspension is absorbent,
the spring and damper rates are
biased towards moderate and
the in-cabin ride is glorious. It
also cruises beautifully on the
highway, it has poise, balance and
a high level of comfort.
When pushed into the quick
corners on the Pukekohe track,
surety within the floorpan
provides confidence, there is a
lot of feedback from what the
tyres are doing in relation to
the track surface, and sitting on
high quality sport specification
Continental rubber (245/45 x
18in) there is a lot of natural
grip and directional stability on
offer. And with ‘Murph’ guiding
journalists to the best lines and
apexes, the Commodore does
reflect sporty performance.
A lot of that also has to do
with the development work
Holden Australia did with the
Commodore for the down under
market.
Of course, it is also about
replicating the large car profile we
are used to as buyers, and it does
that brilliantly. Not only is there
a huge area to spread around
inside, there is alsogenerous load
space.
In RS-V specification, the
V6 liftback sits at $58,990. For

that money it comes with a
high degree of specification,
major items include full leather

infotainment network, head-up
display, paddle-shift transmission
selectors and satellite navigation.
Of course, the new generation
Commodore also qualifies for
a five-star Australasian New
Car Assessment Program safety
rating.
Even though it is different in
many areas, General Motors
has done well to make the new
Commodore feel like what a
buyer would expect from the
nameplate. I’d go as far as to
say it has done that well, it feels
very Commodore-like and it
is a pleasurable drive for all
occupants.
For anyone contemplating a
Commodore purchase and likes
what the Black Edition has to
offer, you had better be quick. It’s
not likely to be a model that will
sit around on showroom floors.

Meeting tough nitrogen
loss rules
Canterbury’s Camden Group has
achieved the 30 per cent reduction in
nitrogen losses required of dairy farms
well before the 2022 deadline, thanks to
changing its repasturing programme and
tweaking fertiliser and irrigation practices.
Brothers Leo and John Donkers started
the Camden Group 25 years ago. They
now own four dairy farms and two support
farms, as well as being involved in sharemilking
businesses on three other farms.
The rapid expansion of dairy farming
in Canterbury has put pressure on the
environment. Farmers must now comply
with increasingly strict regulations to
reduce that impact, particularly the loss of
nitrogen into groundwater.
“We have to change our management
practices to enable us to continue farming
in this environment,” Leo Donkers says.
The Selwyn Waihora water zone
committee signalled five years ago that
tighter controls were coming. The Camden
Group took a hard look at its operation and
environmental performance.
One of the first things they tackled
was pasture, which despite being resown
in high- performing species wasn’t
consistently delivering hoped for pasture
production gains. Part of the problem was
the persistence of low-performing native
pasture species, so they adopted a new twoyear,
double-spray strategy, together with a
change in species and sowing method.
“We sprayed with glyphosate, directdrilled
an annual and sustained that for a
year,” says Leo. “Then at the same time the
following year we re-sprayed, cultivated
and drilled permanent pasture.
“This one pass drilling process involved
drilling perennial ryegrass in normal rows
and then broadcast a tetraploid and white
clover mix between the perennial rows to
get full coverage.”
Previously browntop would come up
between the rows after direct drilling, but
under the new system the inter-row space is
filled by tetraploid grass species and clover.
“The benefit we got was phenomenal
pasture growth,” Leo says. “We grow a lot
more grass than we have ever done in the
past.”
The tetraploid grasses are cool-season
active, which means they soak up nitrogen
Camden Group operations manager
Terry Kilday and Leo Donkers
even when other species’ growth has
slowed.
The success of the programme attracted
the attention of DairyNZ’s Virginia Serra.
She leads the Meeting a Sustainable Future
project which aims to foster changes in
farm systems to reduce nitrogen losses
in the Hinds (Ashburton) and Selwyn
Waihora zones.
Serra says the limits are challenging, but
the sector is committed to helping farmers
achieve them while maintaining resilient
businesses.
“This project builds on previous N-loss
research. It aims to give farmers confidence
the limits are achievable,” says Serra. “Many
farmers have been making changes to
reduce N loss for some time and this will
continue to build on that.”
Camden Holdings’ Willsden Farm at Te
Pirita is now one of two “partner farms” in
the project.
Camden Holdings no longer applies
nitrogen in May because soils get cooler and
pasture plant growth slows, and demand
for N decreases. “The worst time for any
leaching is in autumn and winter. The
unused N from summer has accumulated
in the soil and it gets lost with the winter
rains.”
Most dairy shed effluent is spread over
about 90 ha of pasture, when conditions are
right, using a small spreader, but this year
that area is being doubled. Plans are also in
train to modify the centre pivot so effluent
can be spread from that as well, adding
another 140 ha.
“We should be to be able to do whole farm
over the next two or three years, then we’d
have extremely good spread,” says Camden
Group operations manager Terry Kilday.
When the farm was first converted, it
only had five days’ effluent storage, but now
a significantly larger pond has been put in,
increasing storage to between 10 and 15
days.
Another area getting close attention is
irrigation. Three roto-rainers have been
replaced by centre pivots and set sprinklers
to allow for greater efficiency and a shorter
return, down from 10 days to two to three
days. Three roto-rainers are still used on
140 ha, on a seven, seven and six day return.
The completion of the Central Plains
Water irrigation project, which replaces
water from deep wells with pressurised
water drawn from the Rakaia River, backed
up by storage in Lake Coleridge, has added
to irrigation efficiency.
“We never realised how efficient that
would make us because instead of having a
push-button system where we are pumping
from deep wells and we have all the control,
now we have to order water once a day,”
Leo Donkers says. “So at three o’clock we’ve
got to make an order for tomorrow which
means we need to know where the water is
going and how much we need.”
Soil moisture probes are used
as a tool to make the correct
decision about when to irrigate.
Achieving a 30 per cent
reduction in nitrate leaching –
and remaining profitable - has
been done without big changes
to Willsden’s farming. Terry
Kilday is proud of what they’ve
achieved.
“We’re looking at new
technologies and better ways
of doing things. We don’t get it
right every time but we’re getting
better and are fast followers of
new research and technology
changes, which are starting to
show real benefits.”

Beetroot relaunched as the new superfood
VERSATILE: Beetroot likes a sunny well-drained spot,
autumn is the perfect time for planting.
• By Henri Ham
I HAVE distinct memories of eating
beetroot as a child. To approach
with caution – there was the
constant reminder that “beetroot
will stain” (gasp), making it seem
way more effort than it was worth.
Fast-forward 40(ish) years, I now
put beetroot as a must-have kiwi
vege. And gone are the days of only
ever seeing it in a can too. Beetroot’s
been relaunched as a superfood
celebrated for its antioxidants
and vitamins, not to mention delicious
versatility in recipes.
But best of all, it’s easy to grow.
Beetroot is a hardy vege, you can
actually plant all year round in your
garden. But it does prefer a cool/
warm climate, making it perfect for
planting right now in autumn.
Where to plant? Beetroot likes
a sunny well-drained spot in your
garden. First dig over your vege
plot, turning in some compost and
sheep pellets if you’ve got some.
Dig holes for your seedlings, about
3cm deep and 15cm apart. Place
the seedlings in and gently press the
soil down around their base.
Give a good initial watering, and
then keep this up daily for five days
to give them the best possible start.
After this, water every few days.
Don’t forget about them though, as
they can become bitter if they go
through a lengthy dry period. You
can also give them a feed of liquid
plant food, like a seaweed tonic,
every fortnight.
When you plant, consider laying
down some mulch as your organic
weed control. It will smother the
weeds, ensuring they can’t germinate.
Pea straw is ideal for this, and
will also help keep in the moisture.
After a month you can start
harvesting the leaves. But always
leave a few on to keep the plant
growing. Use these leaves the same
way you would spinach or pak choy
– sautéed, added to soups or raw in
salads.
In around three months you’ll be
able to harvest your beetroot. This
is best when they’re between the
size of a golf and tennis ball. The
earlier you harvest, the smaller, but
COLOUR:
Don’t let your
beetroot
get too big
otherwise
it will taste
woody.
sweeter they’ll be. Remember, they
can taste a bit woody when you let
them get too big.
To harvest the root, use a hand
fork underneath the vegetable and
gently pull up from the stalks. Try
to not break the stalks from the
beetroot, as this will cause it to
bleed out and lose its goodness.
Once in the kitchen, relaunch
your own version of beetroot. I
recommend roasting them – drizzle
with oil, making sure all the sides
get oiled. Bake for 45min until soft,
not shrunken. Use in couscous
roast vege salads or topped with
crumbled feta.
Ever tried chocolate beetroot
cake? The result is a moist and rich
looking cake, bound to impress.
What a way to consume your fivea-day
vege.

Community Board has taken the
rare step of starting a petition
to figh the city council over
funding.
Signatures are being co lected
in a bid to get funding for a community
facility in Shirley.
It comes after the city council
removed funding for the centre
pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the
intersection with Hi ls Rd. This
was the site of the former community
centre, which was badly
damaged in the February 2,
20 1, earthquake.
The removal o funding
prompted community board
chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten
to stand down, citing it as her “die

Ms Jone said the board’s role

THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave
Rock Apartments ar expecting the
Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off
on a se tlement agr emen this w ek.
Body corporate chairman Mike
White said the group had gone
into mediation with IAG and EQC
on February 20, and signed off
on a deal with IAG on February
2 – coincidenta ly seven years
to the day after the February 2,
20 1, earthquake. However, they
are waiting for EQC to sign the
agr ement.
“Given that EQC actua ly drafted
the agr ement, there’ l be no
problem with them doing that.”
The apartment suffered damage
in the February and June, 20 1,
earthquakes and were demolished in
late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the
difference betw en indemnity value,
$10 mi lion, and the sum insured,
$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body
corporate.
The mediation agr ement
prevented Mr White from disclosing
the se tlement amount, but he said it
involved the two parties paying “a bit
more money than they’d wanted to
earlier.”

Weatherproofing tips for your
house design
Insulation and double glazed windows are compulsory
in new homes making them infinitely superior to their
older counterparts for warmth yet more can be done to
weatherproof a new home.
Underfloor insulation
Foam insulated expanded polystyrene
panels under the concrete slab act as an
insulating barrier, stopping cold coming
through from under the house.
Garages
Insulating the garage and its door will cut
down on a steady stream of cold air sneaking
into the house. An insulated garage door
can lift the temperature substantially even
when the garage itself is not heated, making
it a more pleasant place to spend time. Any
home appliances kept in the garage will use
less electricity as they will not have to work
as hard and your car battery may last longer.
Roof design
Roof designs vary. The simplest way to
achieve a weather tight house is to have a
simple roof design with an overhanging
surfeit. Architectural flat roofs will work
though more care is needed to achieve
weather tightness especially where there
are hidden or back roof gutters. Having a
roof with no overhang also requires more
care with the design due to its complexity
and potential for problems. Regular
maintenance to clean out leaves and
debris that gets caught in the roof will be
advantageous in both cases.
Porticos
Taking the roof out beyond the house
is ideal for providing a sheltered area for
spending time outdoors when the weather
is inclement.
Snow straps or guttering
protection
Wherever snow is a likely part of winter,
installation of snow straps is a good idea.
These prevent damage to guttering from
the weight of snow as it slides off the roof.
Alternatively, an expanded steel mesh
product such as Gutter Guard could
be fitted. This has the added benefit of
preventing spouting blockages from leaf
and other debris.
Capitalise on the sun
Maximise the sun’s free energy with
plenty of windows, especially on the north
side of the house.
Low-E argon gas filled double glazing increases insulation.
Outdoor areas
When choosing a house design, consider
how it will sit on the section and whether it
offers potential to catch sun inside the home
and for sunny sheltered outdoor areas away
from prevailing winds.
Windows and doors
Upgrade on the minimum standard
for double glazing with thermally broken
joinery and low-emissivity argon gas filled
windows and doors, increasing insulation
effectiveness.
Energy efficient heating
Explore heating options, selecting what
will work best given the size of home and
family needs. Heat pumps are an efficient
form of heating with two cassette and energy
saving options available while heat transfer
systems are great if there is a log burner.

Your guide to all things Real Estate
in the Selwyn District
LED lighting
dominates
the market
The term LED stands for light-emitting
diode and goes back to 1907 when British
experimenter, H J Round discovered the
phenomenon of electroluminescence. In
1962, infrared LEDs emerged in remote
control circuits. They were red and low
in intensity. More recently, technological
improvements have seen LED lighting replace
traditional incandescent lighting due to its
efficiency.
While initially high, the price of LED
lighting has come down dramatically
and product quality which had varied
considerably has improved.
“The LED market has stabilised. Some
products were pricey yet not always good
quality and while cheaper products are
still out there, reliable leading brands have
emerged making it easier for electricians
and home owners to be confident about the
quality now available,” says Greg Horton,
owner of Juice Electrical.
Unlike incandescent light bulbs where
power travels through a wire or filament
causing the bulb to heat up, with LED bulbs
the electrical current passes through a diode
with little or no heating effect. LEDs are more
energy efficient than halogen, incandescent
and fluorescent bulbs. LEDs also light up
quicker, using around 7-15 watts of power to
75 for incandescent lighting and LED diodes
are less fragile than incandescent bulbs.
A quality LED fitting will last considerably
longer so is more cost effective. Insulation
may also be installed over the top of most
quality fittings.
This explains why LEDs are now
the norm in the majority of new
house builds. The light is bright so
introducing a degree of softer light
and dimmers in areas in the home
where one might want to relax, might
be considered.
While it is better to replace
conventional lighting with LED
alternatives in an existing home, Greg
says homeowners need to be
mindful of the difference
between a retrofitted LED
and a complete LED
fitting.
“A quality LED fitting
should have a life
expectancy of around 20 years but a retrofit,
where an LED is fitted into a traditional light
fitting will have a much shorter life of as little
as two to four years,” explains Greg.
Upgraded dimmers may also be needed as
some will not recognise the low electrical load
of an LED.
“Consumers need to be wary when
purchasing decorative lights as some are
marketed as LED when they only take an
LED bulb. Ask the salesperson if it is a
traditional light fitting which will take an
LED bulb or a complete LED fitting. The
latter is preferable,” adds Greg.
When it comes to garden illumination,
LED has been revolutionary with low voltage
lighting which does not have to be buried in a
600mm deep trench. LED garden lighting can
safely be operated under weed mat, bark and
other mulch or even on the surface.
To learn more about LED lighting, talk
to an electrician or give Greg a call. He has
over 13 years’ experience taking care of the
electrical needs of Selwyn residents.
Consider
where
you might
want softer
lighting.
LEDs are brighter.
