District 

council 

gets AA+ 

for its 

finances 

THE DISTRICT council has 

received the highest credit rating 

of any council in New Zealand 

after being awarded an AA+ by 

Fitch Ratings. 

The rating is the same 

as both the New Zealand 

sovereign rating and the Local 

Government Funding Agency 

for local currency. 

It is a measure of the district 

council’s ability to meet its 

financial commitments, and 

means the council is at a very 

low risk of defaulting on its 

loans. 

In its assessment, ratings 

agency Fitch Ratings took into 

account the strength of the 

council’s financial management 

and the district’s economy, 

which is being driven by 

population growth. 

It recognised the council’s 

prudent financial forecasts and 

the diversity of the district’s 

economy, including professional, 

scientific and technological 

services. 


The most 

valuable 

player in 

the market. 

You’re going to have a ball when you secure a section in the latest 

release at Faringdon. ‘The Greens’ is a quick dash from Rolleston 

town centre, and is a clear winner when it comes to what’s 

on offer. Parks and reserves, reticulated gas and lightning fast fibre 

broadband, it’s the sort of infrastructure that could very well make 

other developments want to switch sides.

SELWYN TIMES 

THAT’S A pretty good looking line-up for 

the next Selwyn Sounds (see page 1). 

Icehouse, 10cc and Midge Ure of 

Ultravox fame are the headline acts, with 

plenty of top support bands to make it 

another great event. March’s festival will be 

the fourth Selwyn Sounds, which over and above being a great 

day, is very beneficial to the community and district. 

A number of community groups are able to use it as a 

fundraiser, courtesy of the promoters. 

Lincoln High’s grounds are used for car parking, bringing in 

many helpful dollars to the school. 

The weather gods have also smiled on Selwyn Sounds, with 

climate change and the moving seasons making early March 

perfect for an outdoor concert.

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

Simon 

Moore 

AN OUTSPOKEN opponent 

has been left “surprised” at 

the number of submissions in 

support of a controversial quarry 

plan for Templeton. 

Out of the 430 submissions 

Environment Canterbury 

received on 

Fulton Hogan’s 

proposed Roydon 

Quarry, 

101 were for 

the plan going 

ahead while 329 

were against. 

Quarry opponent 

Simon 

Moore said a 

good number of 

submissions were received but he 

was surprised at the number in 

support. 

“This is an important thing 

for the quarrying and transport 

industry so I suspect there has 

been a lot of lobbying going on 

within their circles to support it 

so they can encroach into urban 

areas with quarries all over the 

country,” he said.

opposing the application and is

HUNTER 

heard at the hearing. A date is 

still yet to be confirmed. 

The submissions have come 

from a wide scope of residents 

and businesses. 

Major companies and associations 

in support of the proposal 

include Allied Concrete Ltd, 

The Aggregate and Quarry Association, 

Institute of Quarrying, 

Isaac Construction and Lyttelton 

Port Company. 

Allied Concrete Ltd national 

services manager Bob Officer 

said the quarry will be a replacement 

for the Pound Rd Quarry 

which is approaching the end of 

its operating life. 

He said it will provide the 

continuation of supply for high 

quality aggregates that are 

essential for the concrete production 

required to meet growth 

production for Christchurch and 

its surrounds. 

“Christchurch has an ongoing 

requirement to improve and 

develop its infrastructure. Both 

concrete and quality aggregates 

are needed to meet this requirement,” 

Mr Officer said. 

Other companies in support 

have shared the same views. 

Lyttelton Port Company environment 

and planning manager 

Kim Kelleher said the continuation 

of high-quality aggregate 

supply is essential to meet future 

regional growth predictions. 

Against the proposal were 

Christchurch International 

Airport Ltd, Greater Hornby 

Residents’ Association, Southern 

Woods Nursery Ltd and Templeton 

Residents’ Association. 

Christchurch Airport raised 

concerns over the risk of increasing 

bird strike and how dust and 

lighting from the quarry, which 

would align with the airport’s 

main runway, has the potential 

to interfere with pilots’ sight and 

visibility. 

The Templeton Residents’ Association 

discussed visual effects 

and the impact vibration, noise, 

dust and light will have on the 

area. 

The discharge of contaminants 

to the air, whether there were 

enough water resources for the 

quarry, mental and physical 

health on residents and loss of 

amenity were also raised in the 

submission. 

Due to a large number of 

handwritten submissions, ECan 

was required to transcribe, some 

of the names of submitters had 

been deciphered online incorrectly. 

ECan also chose not to publish 

some of the submissions online 

due to personal information 

(including personal health 

effects) disclosed.

SELWYN TIMES 

Thank you for 

helping your 

Fall Zones 

community 

To all of you who have had your 

trees trimmed before they became 

a problem, thank you for keeping all 

the families in your community warm, 

happy, healthy and connected. 

You can be proud of the fact that you have allowed your 

neighbours to stay warm, cook dinner and even charge 

their mobile phones. You may not have realised that what 

you’ve done has had much impact, but from all of us here 

at Orion, we just want to say thank you. 

Notice and Growth limit zones

Power line voltage A. Growth limit zone B. Notice zone 

66,000 volts 4.0m 5.0m 

33,000 volts 2.5m 3.5m 

11,000 volts 1.6m 2.6m 

400/230 volts 0.5m 1.5m 

We’re not exaggerating. 

On our network, 10-20% of all unplanned power outages are 

caused by trees — including vegetation — coming into contact 

with power lines. Other than this, fire damage to property from 

branches sparking in dry conditions and serious injury from 

electrocution from contact with trees touching power lines are 

also possible consequences of not maintaining your trees. 

How close is too close? 

While most damage is caused by trees falling on power lines, 

significant risk exists from trees merely touching them. This risk 

increases the higher the voltage of the power line. 

The minimum distances that must be maintained between trees 

and power lines, as defined in the Electricity (Hazards from 

Trees) Regulations 2003, are outlined in the diagrams above. 

All vegetation should be kept out of the growth limit zone and 

preferably the notice zone. 

Sometimes it may not be practical to have a tree trimmed at the 

rate at which it grows and unfortunately, this means it may need 

to be removed. Other situations may require trees to be removed, 

most commonly when they are at a high risk of falling due to 

disease or adverse weather events. 

Where do I start? 

Before you begin, remember to keep yourself, and those around 

you, safe. We recognise that not everyone is experienced in tree 

trimming and are happy to advise you on what to do. We can arrange 

for trees near power lines to be trimmed at your expense, however 

we recommend you hire professionals to safely carry out the work. 

If you or someone working for you intends to work within four 

metres of power lines, a close approach consent is required from 

Orion before you start. As a tree owner, you may be liable for any 

damage caused by carrying out trimming or felling of trees. 

Will I be fined if I don’t comply? 

If a cut or trim notice is given to you and you fail to have the tree 

trimmed and/or advise us of the time and location of the trim 

without a reasonable excuse, this is an offence. This will make you 

liable for a fine not exceeding $10,000. If the offence continues, 

you will be liable for a further fine of not more than $500 for every 

day or part day during which the offence continues. 

More info can be found on our website and if 

you have any questions or notice any trees 

touching power lines in your area, please call 

us on 03 363 9898 or 0800 363 9898.

Young family 

lucky to escape 

serious injury 

after hit-and-run 

• By Devon Bolger 

AN ALLEGED hit-andrun 

driver has handed 

himself into police after 

colliding with a young 

couple’s car which had 

their seven-week-old baby 

on-board. 

Sarah Reiher, 22, said she 

was travelling through a 

roundabout in Rolleston’s 

Izone area with her partner 

Jacob Barber, their son 

Kian and a family friend 

when they were hit by a 

‘drifting’ Nissan Skyline 

on Thursday night. 

“We yelled out to the 

other driver that there was 

a baby in the car, thinking 

he would help us, but he 

didn’t even get out of the 

car, he just laughed and 

drove off.” 

Ms Reiher took to 

Facebook after the 

incident, posting on the 

Rolleston community page 

for help to track down the 

person responsible. 

By the next morning the

driver had handed himself 

into police. 

“There was a lot of 

anger afterwards, the fact 

that he’s since come forward 

has reduced 

that anger,” Ms Reiher 

said. 

She said she’s been told 

the man will be charged 

and will appear in court. 

The young couple’s car 

was completely written off 

in the collision but nobody 

was seriously hurt. 

“Kian has been a bit 

more cuddly and we were 

all quite sore the next day 

but other than that we 

were lucky.”

“I drove past and saw that 

the post which held the chain 

to keep vehicles out had been 

smashed over and the ground 

was covered in tyre tracks,” Mr 

Barrell said. 

He said apart from a graffiti 

attack a month earlier, the 

reserve was not a regular target 

for intentional damage. 

Banks Peninsula Community 

Board deputy chairman Tyrone 

Fields was told about a “huge 

amount of litter” at Teddington 

the following morning. 

Mr Fields said boy racing is 

an “acknowledged problem” 

across Banks Peninsula and 

damage caused by vehicles, 

such as burnouts, are “not 

uncommon.” 

“The route is like a circuit, 

it’s perfectly set up for that kind 

of stuff. I know residents all 

the way up to Teddington and 

beyond are really frustrated,” Mr 

Fields said.

Kirk Rd stop 

upgrade gets 

green light 

• By Georgia O’Connor- 

Harding 

AN EXISTING bus stop 

outside the Templeton 

Medical Centre on Kirk Rd 

will be upgraded to provide 

easier access for people getting 

on and off the Yellow Line. 

The Halswell-Hornby- 

Riccarton Community Board 

approved the changes last 

week. 

The city council will paint 

the stop, install bridge blocks 

to improve access to the front 

and rear doors of the bus, and 

put in a new seat. 

The improvements are 

needed due to the deep-dish 

drain channel next to the stop, 

which has been causing bus 

drivers to stop at the nearest 

driveway to provide a safe 

environment for passengers 

moving between the platform 

and the bus. 

They often have to park 

over the recently developed 

medical centre’s driveway. 

Currently, the stop is 

unmarked, but has a bus stop 

sign attached to a utility pole 

beside the medical centre 

driveway. 

Cookbook for a good cause 

• By Jess Gibson 

A MENTAL health cookbook 

produced by three Darfield High 

School students features Jacinda 

Ardern’s signature zucchini slice. 

The newly-established business 

behind the cookbook, NZ Happy, 

aims to raise awareness around 

mental health and make it more 

comfortable to talk about. 

Year 13 student Georgia 

Mitchell is the chief executive 

and she works alongside five 

other business partners from her 

school. 

“We’ve created a cookbook 

which is a combination of New 

Zealand recipes, stories, tips and 

quotes. Even Jacinda Ardern has 

given us a recipe which is pretty 

exciting,” Georgia said. 

Each cookbook will sell for 

$15, with 20 per cent of profits 

going towards the Mental Health 

Foundation. 

The cookbook was one of the 

products on show at the Young 

Enterprise Scheme market, 

hosted by Ara Institute of Canterbury 

on Monday. 

Other ideas included artistic 

road cones and biodegradable 

gelatine-based alternatives to 

plastic laminating pouches and 

food wrap. 

YES sees senior secondary 

BRIGHT IDEA: Georgia Mitchell, Alicia Duncan and Cleo Searle 

from Darfield High School showcased their business NZ Happy 

at the Young Enterprise Scheme Market at Ara Institute of 

Canterbury. 

school-aged entrepreneurs set up 

and run real businesses over the 

course of a year. 

In Canterbury, there were 

been 540 registrations from 

senior secondary school students 

involved in 130 businesses, 35 

of which attended the market to 

officially launch their businesses 

to the public. 

There were common themes 

among many of the projects like 

tackling issues of sustainability, 

mental health or exploring social 

enterprise. 

It was the second year of 

the partnership between Ara 

and YES, and Canterbury’s 

programme co-ordinator Idoia 

Alday Gonzalez was pleased the 

region was leading in participant 

numbers. 

“One of Ara’s goals since the 

start of the partnership has been 

to increase the awareness of the 

impact YES has on our young 

people in the region and the 

skills they learn through this 

wonderful scheme.” 

Now that the students have 

attended the market day, they 

will work on their marketing 

campaigns, sales and producing 

an annual review over three 

months. 

The top six teams to emerge 

from the Canterbury competition 

will go on to compete at the 

regional finals in October, facing 

a panel of judges and a large 

audience. 

YES funds the competition 

with a national prize pool of 

more than $25,000, as well as 

regional awards, cash prizes and 

tertiary scholarships.

Partnership to foster learning 

THE DISTRICT council is 

partnering with the awardwinning 

Children’s University 

to help foster a life-long love of 

learning. 

Children’s University is 

a learning programme that 

encourages seven to 18-yearolds 

to engage in exciting and 

innovative learning activities 

and experiences outside of the 

classroom. 

The first children’s university 

programme in New Zealand 

was started last October with 

Lincoln and Canterbury Universitys 

forming the Children’s 

University Canterbury Partnership 

to oversee the programme. 

The district council has joined 

the programme, identifying and 

offering opportunities to explore 

and participate throughout the 

district. These include exploring 

and participating in district 

council-organised programmes 

and events. Some of these opportunities 

and activities will be 

identified on the Children’s University 

website and in district 

council guides. 

District council community 

relations manager, Denise Kidd, 

says supporting Children’s University 

was a great opportunity 

for the council to play a part in 

investing in Selwyn’s children 

and future. 

“It’s important to encourage 

our children to learn in the 

world, as well as the classroom, 

and the council knows that 

Selwyn has a lot to offer and is a 

world worth exploring.” 

Children at participating 

schools choose, visit and participate 

or explore at approved 

learning destinations. These can 

range from visiting a museum, 

participating in an outdoor activity, 

or taking a craft or art class, 

to spending time visiting and 

exploring a farm — anything 

that connects with the Children’s 

University learning “curriculum” 

and has realistic links to a university 

programme. 

When children visit a learning 

destination they gain hours in

a learning passport. Once the 

children have completed at least 

30 hours of learning they take 

part in a graduation ceremony 

to mark their achievements. 

As a world first, Te Taumutu 

Rūnanga has taken the opportunity 

to be a part of Children’s 

University. Ngāi Te Ruahikihiki 

ki Taumutu tamariki and 

mokopuna now have the ability 

to receive formal recognition 

of learning that enhances their 

cultural identity, Te Taumutu 

Rūnanga chairperson Julie Robilliard 

says. 

“The most exciting aspects of 

Children’s University being piloted 

in the Canterbury region is 

that we have a unique opportunity 

to set the standard for how 

mātauraka Māori can be valued 

within this programme and how 

partnership with mana whenua 

can enhance the experience for 

all students in Aotearoa.” 

Prebbleton and Ladbrooks 

Schools are among those taking 

part in the programme. 

Ladbrooks School Children’s 

University co-ordinator Keryn 

Wilson says the programme has

hearts needed 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

THE SEARCH is on to find a 

home for thousands of crafted 

hearts sent in following the 

March 15 mosque attacks. 

More than 5000 hearts, along 

with messages of support, 

flooded in from around the 

world after Halswell’s Barkers 

Wool And Haberdashery 

manager Jacquie Jewell 

established the initiative 

Muslim Hearts of Christchurch. 

The goal was to collect 

as many crafted hearts as 

possible, made from knitted, 

croquet, origami, mosaic and 

vintage materials, to gift to 

those affected by the attacks. 

Mrs Jewell has now delivered 

3000 hearts, along with copies 

of messages, to the Al Noor 

Mosque, Linwood Islamic 

Centre, police and St John. 

But she has about 2000 left 

which she is hoping to publicly 

display. 

Mrs Jewell is now looking 

to place them on an artificial 

tree in the Christchurch City 

Council chambers, at the Arts 

Centre or Tūranga library. 

City council staff are 

working to come up with 

options for the long-term 

display of the hearts.

festival.

CLASSIC: The Mockers will return for Selwyn Sounds 2020. 

•From page 1 

“Icehouse hasn’t played in 

Christchurch since 1991, so very 

proud to bring them to Lincoln to 

play at Selwyn Sounds.” 

The line-up will also feature 

international acts 10cc, Midge 

Ure, who is the voice of Ultravox, 

and Kiwi bands Zed, The 

Mockers, Automatic 80s and Jed 

Parsons. 

Icehouse was formed by Iva 

Davies, the band’s frontman and 

musical creative force, who led 

the band to 28 platinum albums, 

eight top 10 albums and more 

than 30 top 40 singles, including 

Great Southern Land, Hey Little 

Girl, Crazy, Electric Blue, and We 

Can Get Together. 

“The band has been playing 

together for more than 40 years, 

selling out shows around the 

world, including their last New 

Zealand tour, selling out three 

shows in record times to 45,000 

people and rave reviews,” said Mr 

Parlane. 

“Midge Ure continues to tour 

and play all around the world. 

Many will remember Ultravox 

from their exhilarating show at 

Sweetwaters in the 80s. Their 

hit album Vienna was in the NZ 

top 40 for over 47 weeks. 10cc 

has sold out many concerts in 

New Zealand in the past, with 

such hits as Dreadlock Holiday, 

The Things We Do For Love, I’m 

Not In Love, Art For Art’s Sake, 

Rubber Bullets, I’m Mandy Fly Me 

and Donna. 

Getting the band Zed, which 

will reunite after 15 years, 

was a coup, he said. “They are 

a real rock and roll story of 

Christchurch school mates,” said 

Mr Parlane. 

The school mates formed a 

band and went on to have four 

top 10 hits.

Big crowd at 

Rotary club 

school quiz 

THE SCHOOL quiz is an 

important event on the Rotary 

Club of Lincoln’s calender. 

It involved pupils from several 

primary schools competing in 

pairs for prizes. The recent event 

attracted the largest crowd ever 

– 19 schools and 38 participants 

– reflecting the district’s 

population growth. 

Parents and teachers joined 

in to support the young 

competitors, meaning the 

club catered for more than 

100 attendees. The questions 

were selected from a large pool 

provided by the teachers. There 

were four sections and the live 

scores were projected onto a 

large screen. 

Club members had an opportunity 

to chat with parents and 

teachers and develop a stronger 

bond with the community. 

The senior school winners 

from Springston, Prebbleton and 

Broadfield, and junior pupils 

from Leeston, Southbridge and 

Dunsandel, received gift cards 

and book vouchers. 

The club meets every Tuesday 

at Lincoln University. Visitors 

and new members welcome.

Have you thought about 

fostering a child? 

We are looking for people in the Christchurch area who are willing to 

open up their home to *Matt. He needs a home that can provide him 

with support, care and unconditional love and guidance in a clear, fair 

and consistent way. Matt is looking for caregivers who enjoy outdoor 

activities and have a spacious yard. 

Matt is an enthusiastic, funny and 

curious 16-year-old boy who is 

looking for a long-term home. He 

has overcome many challenges in 

his life and has grown immensely 

from these experiences. He has a 

strong need for belonging which he 

has rarely had. He is kind, helpful, 

and eager to get on well with other 

people. He also loves outdoors, 

biking, Minecraft and animals. 

Matt has an amazing sense of humour, although requires support to 

express his feelings and needs. Matt is currently working on building 

positive relationships and will require ongoing support. 

We welcome carers who have the time, energy and the ability to 

provide a loving home. These are the most important things we look 

for in our foster carers. We will provide ongoing and intensive clinical 

and financial assistance as well as training to all our carers to ensure 

they always feel supported and enabled to do their best. 

Fostering a child in need is challenging but truly rewarding. As a carer, 

you’ll provide consistent and responsive support and attention to help 

them make sense of their world. 

If you are interested in 

discussing possibilities for 

Matt, please call Nicky on 

03 365 0291 or 027 207 8212.

& Matt 

HAPPY MATARIKI everyone. 

I hope you’re all using this 

wintery time of year as a perfectly 

appropriate Kiwi cultural excuse to 

eat heaps with the family. 

Obviously hangi or a generous 

roast are the best bets. Vittoria had 

her first full hangi meal on Saturday. 

Now that I’ve got you thinking 

of delicious food and eating, let’s 

take this lowbrow and talk about 

bodily functions. Just what you 

wanted right? I’ve always counted 

myself lucky to have avoided the real 

nastiness of parenting babies and 

toddlers so far. While my mates have 

had all sorts of dramas, I’ve missed 

(or dodged) the worst of it. 

I still count myself as lucky in that 

regard (thankfully), but I got my 

first taste of an ‘oh-hell-no’ toiletry 

nightmare this week. 

After coming home from an 

activity last week a whiff of bad 

cabbage cologne told me it was 

change time. Luckily, it was all 

contained and wasn’t so bad in the 

big scheme of things. 

I congratulated myself on another 

job well done. 

She’d wet her pants a little

through the nappy and the house 

was warm so I left her just in her 

top and nappy for a bit while I had 

some lunch in the kitchen (out of 

the wee seagull’s view). 

The true horror began soon after. 

Leaving the kitchen, I looked into 

the hall and immediately asked the 

question: “Is that a wee jobbie?” 

It was. Right there on the floor. 

But not just there. 

Suffice to say, if it gets on a 

shoe that’s about 30cm off the floor 

on a rack, you’ve got problems 

mate. Lord have mercy. Round 

two was too much for her nappy to 

handle. 

So I rolled up my sleeves (way up) 

and got stuck in, battling through a 

tantrum, an awful smell and kicking 

legs to clean up the offending 

nightmare and get Vittoria through 

a quick shower. 

After that we both deserved a fun 

afternoon in the park – as far away 

from thoughts of a digested meal as 

possible.

Backyard Critters 

Is it a ladybird, bug or 

actually a beetle? 

THE TWO-spotted lady 

bug or ladybird is neither 

a bug nor a bird, yet that is 

what it is usually called. 

That is why scientific 

names are the best way 

to communicate which 

species you are referring to. 

In this case we are talking 

about Adalia bipunctata, 

the two-spotted lady beetle 

– and yes, it is a beetle. 

I can confirm that it 

usually has two spots, but 

this is not always the case. 

Like most common lady 

beetles, the two-spotted 

species is usually red with 

black dots, but Adalia 

bipunctata is extremely 

variable, even to the point 

of being black with orange 

dots. 

What is constant is its 

4-5mm length and dome 

shape. 

This flighted species was

first seen in the country in 

Christchurch during 1936 

and has spread throughout 

most of New Zealand 

since. Both adults and 

larvae of this species are 

carnivorous. 

The species has been 

introduced to many 

countries as a biocontrol 

agent of aphids, but is 

also known to feed on 

meally bugs, psyllids and 

scale insects. Larvae have 

a completely different 

appearance to adults – they 

are elongated, grey, softbodied 

and wingless. 

The species is thought 

to pass through three 

generations per year and 

over-winter as adults.

Springston successfully defend shield 

• By Gordon Findlater 

SPRINGSTON continued 

their unbeaten run in the 

Ellesmere premier competition 

by successfully completing their 

first ever defence of the Murray 

Cooper Shield against Waihora. 

The 26-18 win at Springston 

Domain saw the home side 

put the shield up for grabs for 

the first time since they won 

Ellesmere’s equivalent of the 

Ranfurly Shield for the first 

time in the club’s history a week 

earlier. 

“It was a messy game to be fair 

. . . it was good to win when we 

played so badly,” said Sutherland. 

“To come away with a win 

against Waihora at any time is 

good, but it would have been nice 

to play a bit better.” 

The match also had extra 

meaning for Springston’s Cameron 

Powell and Jack Hardacre 

who are both former Waihora 

players. 

Tries to Powell, Thomas 

Cockburn and Sam Cottam gave 

Springston a 19-18 advantage 

with just a minute to play. Following 

a Waihora 22m drop 

out they wrapped up the match 

when prop Harry Burgess 

plucked the ball out of the air 

and run over the line to score. 

The result means Waihora 

now face a tough ask to make the 

playoffs with two games against

“It’s finals time for us now,” 

said Waihora coach Joff Mooar. 

“It will be a challenge, but 

we’ll have a few guys back from 

injury.” 

Meanwhile, Springston will 

now look to go through the 

round-robin unbeaten with an 

away trip to Lincoln before they 

host Hornby in their final match.

Schedule could dash Springston’s hopes 


SPRINGSTON’S potential 

fairy tale story from playing in 

Ellesmere’s second division two 

years ago, to making a run at 

the Coleman Shield could take a 

serious blow due to the Mitre 10 

Cup starting early. 

If the leaders of the Ellesmere 

premier competition make the 

final on July 27 they are likely 

to be majorly effected by a Canterbury 

pre-season game which 

will be played against Tasman 

in Hanmer Springs on the same 

day. 

Springston hooker Sam Powell 

and first-five Cameron Cottam 

are both in the Canterbury 

wider training group and are 

now unlikely to be available 

for Springston if they make the 

Ellesmere club final. The club 

would also likely be without 

Crusaders and Canterbury 

player Mitchell Dunshea who 

has played a handful of games 

for Springston this year. 

“They’re [Cottam and Powell] 

both saying if we’re in the final 

then they want to play finals 

footy. That’s why they’re here, 

because they want to help 

the club win the title,” said 

Springston coach Anton Sutherland. 

If Springston can go onto 

make the club final they are 

likely to apply for dispensation 

from Canterbury to allow their 

rep players to be available. 

The double up has been caused 

due to the Mitre 10 Cup season 


A VALIANT second half 

performance wasn’t enough to 

stop Lincoln Combined being 

put to the sword by unbeaten St 

Andrew’s College 19-47 in the UC 

Championship on Saturday. 

Lincoln Combined found themselves 

in trouble early as the home 

side jumped out to a 0-33 lead. 

“We started nervous and made 

some errors and they’re a really 

good side. They punished us in particular 

with the pick and go, anytime 

they got into our 22 they came 

away with points,” said Hooper. 

However, a strong second half 

from Lincoln Combined saw them 

DOUBLE UP: Cameron Powell and Sam Cottam could be forced to miss the Ellesmere club 

final for Springston due to a Canterbury pre-season match which is will be played on the same 

day as the Coleman Shield final. 

beginning earlier than in recent 

years due to no June international 

window being played this 

year. 

“Ahead of the first round of 

the 2019 club season and the 

completion of competition 

draws, the CRFU and its subunions 

were advised of changes 

to dates for the Mitre 10 Cup 

competition this year, which 

would see the provincial competition 

start date brought forward 

by one week. As a result, New 

Zealand Rugby’s recommendation 

was that club finals across 

outplay St Andrew’s 19-14 thanks 

to an improved display and tries 

from loose forward Blake Evans, 

second-five Wil Gualter and replacement 

prop Jordan Lill. 

“The boys showed real character 

in the second half. It would have 

been really easy for the boys 

to fold, but they didn’t do that. 

We played some good footy, in 

particular there were some really 

good performances from our 

bench,” said Hooper. 

This Saturday, Lincoln Combined 

travel south to take on 

Timaru Boys’ High School – who 

are just two points behind them. 

Hooper says they are expecting a 

tough match from a Timaru BHS 

New Zealand be played one 

week in advance, on the weekend 

of July 20-21, in order to ensure 

there was minimal disruption 

to the club competition and 

player availability,” said CRFU 

chief executive Tony Smail. 

“It is ultimately the decision 

of our sub-unions as to the dates 

they wish to play their club 

finals and we have had good 

conversations with each of them 

throughout this process. We’ll 

continue to work with them 

around player availability to 

ensure the best outcome for both 

side who have proven to be hard 

to knock over on their own turf.

Selwyn Times 

Selwyn joins 

Children’s University 

Selwyn District Council has partnered with New Zealand’s first Children’s University programme to 

support lifelong learning in the district. 

Children’s University is an award-winning international learning programme that encourages 7 to 

18 year olds to engage in learning activities and experiences outside school. 

Children on the programme earn stamps in a ‘learning passport’ for each hour they spend at 

approved learning destinations. When they have completed 30 hours they can graduate in a 

graduation ceremony. 

Learning destinations can be anything that connects with the Children’s University curriculum and 

a university programme—from visiting a museum, participating in an outdoor activity, art classes, 

or exploring a farm. 

Lincoln University and the University of Canterbury partnered to bring Children’s University to 

Canterbury in October and the Council has joined the partnership by offering learning destinations 

throughout the district. 

Destinations are marked in the Term Three Selwyn Activity Programmes sent to every house 

this month. 

Community Services group manager Denise Kidd says supporting Children’s University was a 

great opportunity for the Council to invest in Selwyn’s children and future. 

“It’s important to encourage our children to learn in the world, as well as the classroom, and we 

know that Selwyn has a lot to offer and is a world worth exploring.” 

Te Taumutu Rūnanga has also joined the partnership and in a world first it hopes will impact 

other Children’s University programmes the Canterbury programme includes formal recognition 

of learning that enhances the cultural identity of Ngāi Te Ruahikihiki ki Taumutu tamariki and 

mokopuna. 

Prebbleton and Ladbrooks Schools in Selwyn are among those taking part in the programme. 

Ladbrooks School Children’s University coordinator Keryn Wilson says her students have been 

excited by the programme and the activities that are counted. 

“Students have been embracing their passions and looking for ways to reflect on these through a 

lens of what has been learned. They are keen to talk about what they have been involved in and 

families are showing their support by using local learning destinations.” 

KidsFest back this weekend 

KidsFest is here from Saturday with a packed programme of fun for 

children throughout the school holidays. 

Starting on Saturday, Eye Spy Selwyn will be under way for 

young people to get out and explore the district any time. The 

creative MakerStations and Game On! board games events will 

be available any time at the Selwyn Libraries. From Monday, the 

Selwyn Aquatic Centre will also have its giant inflatables and 

paddleboats out on weekdays. 

Other events during the week should ensure something for everyone 

from the popular kids market on Thursday 11 July to the Moviemania 

showing of Ferdinand the Bull on Tuesday 16 July, Council’s Sport, 

Recreation and Wellbeing manager Dave Tippett says. 

“We’ve got the Navigational Rampage on at Foster Park and Sports 

Suzie’s Silly Circus Show that are looking like being a great time. 

We’ve got a lot of stall holders signed up for the kids’ market 

again, so that should have a great range of stuff for sale and we’re 

encouraging people to make time to come in and grab a bargain 

and support the kids.” 

Events are happening all over the district, including Map IT! 

sessions in West Melton, Glentunnel, Tai Tapu and Southbridge, 

offering an opportunity to create a whole new world and enjoy 

the art and science of creating maps. For more information see 

selwyn.govt.nz/kidsfest. 

Young people go speed dating 

for work 

It was all about connections as 29 school leavers tried to woo 

potential employers from 12 businesses at a speed dating style 

event in West Melton. 

The Council-run event last week was organised to help Year 12 and 

13 school leavers meet employers and hopefully get a job. 

The students had five minutes to meet with each business, with each 

side marking if they were interested afterwards and Council staff 

matching up where both student and business were keen to talk more. 

The aim was to support young people and keep them in the district, 

Council Community and Economic Development senior advisor 

Clare Quirke says. 

“We know with young people leaving school, if they don’t get into 

employment or training that can be a time when problems begin. 

Meeting potential employers is a stressful thing, especially if you’re 

doing it for the first time, so the speed dating idea gives it a bit of 

fun in a neutral setting.” 

Sonia Rawson from trucking company Canterbury Bulk Freight says 

they were keen on the chance to support young people and the day 

went well. 

“We’ve been quite surprised by the amount of them that are 

interested. It’s an opportunity for them to sit down with an employer 

they might not normally approach, and whether they go with this 

industry or just build some confidence because they have spoken to 

an adult about a job that’s good.” 

Darfield High School careers advisor Jo Ager says the five students 

she brought had appreciated the chance and had their eyes opened 

to jobs they didn’t know about before. 

“These guys were super nervous, but the employers have been 

impressed with the students that sat in front of them.” 

The event was run with advice from the Ministry of Education and 

Otago District Council, which have successfully held similar events. 

Upgrades begin in Prebbleton 

The first project to upgrade the Eastern Selwyn sewerage scheme is 

under way in Prebbleton. 

Construction on the new $2million Prebbleton pump station 

began last week and is expected to be completed in December, 

weather permitting. 

The pump station is needed to keep up with growth in Prebbleton. 

It is the first of a series of upgrades to the Eastern Selwyn Sewerage 

Scheme signaled in the Annual Plan 2019/20 to cater for continuing 

population growth. The station on Springs Road will work together 

with the current station to collect Prebbleton wastewater and 

transfer it though the Council network to the Pines Wastewater 

Treatment Facility. 

It has been designed with a purpose built odour control unit to 

eliminate any smell from the site and an acoustic engineer also 

helped with the designs to ensure minimum noise. 

Trees will be planted around the site to reduce the visual impact. 

The pump station was proposed in the Annual Plan 2016/17 and an 

independent adviser was engaged to select the best site. 

Discussions were held with the neighbouring landowners and the 

station was designed to take their feedback into account.

SELWYN TIMES 

From Auckland bad 


EXCITING: Ron Cribb wasn’t afraid to show off his footwork 

while gracing the Crusaders No 8 jersey. 

RON CRIBB is a prime example 

of how the Crusaders can turn 

an Auckland bad boy into All 

Blacks material. 

The 42-year-old father-of-two 

is now a well-established figure 

in the business world. However, 

he is best remembered in this 

part of New Zealand for scoring 

the Crusaders only try in their 

20-19 win over the Brumbies in 

the 2000 Super Rugby final. 

The No 8 scored in his 

signature style by putting 

through a grubber kick to 

himself before crossing the line. 

The try was one of seven in a 

season which also saw him cross 

the line in the semi-final against 

the Highlanders. 

Cribb’s performances in red 

and black throughout the 2000 

season set him up to make 

15 appearances for the All 

Blacks over the next two years. 

However, it could have easily 

turned out very differently – he 

grew up with a reputation for bad 

behaviour in West Auckland. 

Cribb played rugby league 

until he was 17. He was a student 

at Auckland’s Rutherford 

College at the same time as 

Kiwis representatives Robbie and 

Henry Paul. However, his days 

there were cut short when he was 

expelled for fighting. He then 

moved to Massey High School, 

where he joined his childhood 

•Great players have come and gone from the 

Crusaders over the years. Selwyn Times continues 

to catch up with some of them. 

friend Troy Flavell. “I was getting 

into a bit of trouble there (Massey 

High) and they encouraged us to 

leave school,” said Cribb. 

“I look back and I’m pretty 

embarrassed of my behaviour. I 

was quite aggressive, causing a 

bit of trouble and bullying.” 

Through a technicality, Cribb’s 

father found a way to keep his 

son at school. However, one of 

the conditions of his attendance 

was that he play for Massey’s first 

XV. 

“My first year I wasn’t in 

the rugby system at all and 

then Russell Jones selected 

me for North Harbour,” said 

Cribb. 

“We ended up finishing third 

in the school competition and 

when I got home there was 

a letter saying you’ve been 

selected to play for the New 

Zealand Schools and you’re off to 

England, Scotland and Wales for 

eight weeks. 

“All of a sudden I was the first 

New Zealand schoolboy from 

Massey and it was a big deal. The 

school was all over the awards 

and in the paper, so all of a 

sudden, I went from zero to hero 

. . . I took advantage of that being 

the little s**t I was and wore 

whatever I wanted to school. I 

had a lot of growing up to do 

that’s for sure.” 

Following school, Cribb went 

through what he describes as a 

rough patch. 

He made the New Zealand 

under-19 squad while living out 

of a car due to problems at home. 

Cribb says his former under-19 

coach still tells the story about 

him sleeping in a car to motivate 

players when they don’t turn up 

to training. 

“At night I had a dog which 

kept me company. I did 10km 

runs in the evening and I would 

eat at friends or have a shower at 

friends where I could.”

“I used my sport as an avenue 

to get me back on track because 

I went off the rails for a bit, but 

I stayed focused as much as I 

could,” said Cribb. 

“I went through a lot of 

injuries because I didn’t 

understand the importance of 

nutrition. I over trained and 

was undernourished, so I was 

constantly getting sick.” 

In 1998, Cribb made 13 

appearances and scored six tries 

for North Harbour in the NPC. 

He looked sure to have a career 

at the Blues in 1999 before being 

dropped. 

“They dropped me for 

something that wasn’t even 

correct. In fact I was actually 

trying to help a teammate, so I 

was pretty devastated,” he said. 

Cribb went back to club rugby 

in Auckland before getting a 

phone call from Wayne Smith 

midway through the season 

after regular Crusaders No 8 

Steve Surridge suffered a serious 

injury. He initially thought he 

was being pranked by Flavell, 

but Cribb was asked by Smith 

to move south and join the 

Crusaders. 

“I went down and they did a 

3km run and I came last, even 

though I did it 12min, but Con 

Barrell beat me in the last 100m. 

I was pretty gutted to come last 

because I’m quite competitive,” 

he said. 

Cribb says he asked the 

LIFE LESSONS: Ron Cribb is now 

the national relationship manager 

at Metro Performance Glass after 

making a career for himself in the 

business world. 

coaching team to give him a 

chance and agreed to put in 

extra training to bring his fitness 

up to speed. 

The Crusaders coaching staff 

were also the first to encourage 

Cribb’s flamboyant 

style of play after 

previous coaches had 

told him forwards 

don’t kick the ball. 

“They were the first 

coaches I had which 

encouraged that. They 

said we didn’t bring 

you down here to hit 

rucks, we brought you 

down here to get the 

ball in your hands and 

do the stuff we know 

that you can do, which 

was quite refreshing,” 

said Cribb. 

“Canterbury 

changed my whole 

mindset, I started 

seeing things 

differently. Guys like 

Shag [Steve Hansen] 

had a huge influence 

in that; he kept me 

grounded every week.” 

Following his 

breakout 2000 titlewinning 

campaign 

with the Crusaders, 

Cribb returned to the 

Blues in 2001. 

However, a series 

of injuries and a knee 

reconstruction limited 

his play at the highest 

level. In late 2003, he joined the 

Kobelco Steelers in Japan. After 

five seasons there, he played 

one season with Ravigo in Italy 

before returning to New Zealand 

to be closer to his son and 

daughter. 

In 2010, he hoped to sign 

off with one last showing for 

North Harbour, but a prolapsed 

disc in his neck which caused a 

trip to the hospital also revealed 

a broken collarbone he’d had for 

six weeks. 

“I was wondering why I was 

struggling to lift in the lineout, 

I thought I was just getting old,” 

said Cribb. 

Following his rugby playing 

career, Cribb had a brief stint 

in real estate before being told 

about a role as an account 

manager at Fletcher Steel. 

“I had no qualifications or 

anything so I was starting from 

scratch, which is really hard, but 

I won them over with one answer 

really,” said Cribb. 

“They said to me, so you’re 

role is you’re going to have 

customers that will potentially 

be let down and it will be outside 

of your control, how are you 

going to deal with that? I said, 

can I answer that as a question 

. . . have you ever let down four 

and a half million people? I 

think I can handle one or two let 

downs.” 

After putting the HR 

department into stitches, he got 

the job and worked there for two 

years. 

He then took on a national 

key account manager roles at 

Tasman Insulation and Mitre 

10. Cribb is now the national 

relationship manager at Metro 

Performance Glass. 

Cribb says his ability to 

move into the corporate world 

following rugby is one of the 

accomplishments he is most 

proud of in his life. 

“I was given a contract with 

North Harbour during my last 

year of high school and I really 

didn’t have anything else . . . 

a lot of the skills I’ve learnt 

through rugby I’ve transitioned 

into the corporate arena. It’s little 

things like the way you think 

when you make a decision,” said 

Cribb. 

“There’s a lot of people in the 

corporate arena that will make 

decisions that best suit them or 

make them look good. 

“I’m more what’s good for 

the business and the team? 

I understand individuals, 

different characters and different 

values all coming under the 

one umbrella . . . it’s things like 

Gilbert Enoka taught us when 

we were playing, which is your 

mindset, and so that’s what I did 

and I learnt on the way.” 

Outside of work, Cribb is 

actively involved with his 

children’s sporting activities. 

His 15-year-old son Nico is a 

promising outside back and 

100m sprinter. 

Meanwhile, his 17-year-old 

daughter, Helena, is playing 

representative netball.

Fightback not enough to secure Lincoln Uni a win 

Jim Doyle reports on 

Lincoln University’s game 

against Christchurch 

LINCOLN UNIVERSITY lost 

their third game in the top six 

of metro premier rugby, going 

down 28-38 to Christchurch at 

home on Saturday. 

When you’re 20-0 down after 

20min, the finish line looks a 

long way away. But the Rams 

won a lot of hearts for fighting 

back to 28-33 with a minute or 

so to go. 

By that stage they’d posted 

four converted tries to three by 

Christchurch. It was time for a 

final fling. 

The breakout by the Rams 

from deep in their own territory 

looked promising to start with. 

Then a pass went astray and 

Christchurch first-five Tom 

Hanham-Carter swooped to nail 

the game for the visitors. 

You can’t blame the Rams 

too much for that. It was death 

or glory. But it meant they had 

only one bonus point instead of 

two. 

They were guilty of such 

sloppy play earlier and 

SPORT 

Christchurch were happy to 

pounce on it. Still the Rams head 

the top-six points table although 

they’re looking thin in key areas 

and will need to dig deep in the 

weeks to come. 

Christchurch had too much 

of the ball and the game in the 

first half, Dan Dorgan (playing at 

fullback) steering the side with 

big punting and the rest of the 

team mixing ruggedness with 

canny play. 

With huge props in Hamish 

“Keg” Kilpatrick and Sam 

Cottam, Christchurch had an 

edge in the scrums, for the first 

quarter at least. 

Sam Gilbert set the ground 

alight for the home side with 

time almost up when he carved 

the Christchurch defence apart 

to score the last try for his side. 

He landed the conversion for 

another 100 per cent goalkicking 

return. 

Nic Souchon gave it 

everything to lift his team. He 

battled through an ankle injury 

then was kicked in the head 

while lying on the ground some 

distance from the play. He tried 

to soldier on, but he was limping 

and there was blood coming 

from his left ear so he had to be 

replaced. 

Scorecard: 

Christchurch 38 (Burns Mills, 

Hugh Renton, Matt Kottier, 

Thomas Hanham-Carter tries; 

Dan Dorgan 3 conv, 4 pen) beat 

Lincoln University 28 (Brian 

Matoramusha, Troy Hallett, John 

McKeefrey, Sam Gilbert tries; 

Gilbert 4 conv). HT: 23-7.

Slow cooked, healthy butter chicken 

Making healthy meals 

packed with flavour is 

easy in a slow cooker, 

says chef and food writer 

Ross Dobson 

In his latest recipe book, The 

Healthy Slow Cooker, Dobson 

shows it doesn’t take too much 

effort to make food in a slow 

cooker that is not only healthy 

but can also be gluten-free, 

vegan or vegetarian. He uses 

inspiration from Asia, India and 

the Middle East, with flavours, 

ingredients and spices that work 

well in a slow cooker. 

Light butter chicken 

(serves four, gluten-free) 

Prep time 20min 

Cooking time 4.5 hours 

Ingredients 

750g chicken thigh fillets 

1 brown onion, chopped 

3cm piece ginger, chopped 

2 cloves garlic, chopped 

1 large green chilli, seeded and 

chopped 

1 Tbsp olive oil 

1 Tbsp butter 

½ tsp chilli powder 

1 Tbsp ground cumin 

1 Tbsp ground coriander 

1 Tbsp garam masala 

1 Tbsp sweet paprika 

5 green cardamom pods, lightly 

crushed 

2 Tbsp tomato paste 

(concentrated pure) 

2 tsp chicken stock 

powder 

400g can crushed tomatoes 

1 Tbsp cornflour 

1 cup (260g) natural yoghurt 

To serve 

Brown basmati rice 

Handful roughly chopped 

coriander (cilantro) 

Lemon wedges 

Directions 

Heat your slow cooker to high. 

Trim the fat from the chicken 

thighs and discard. Cut each 

thigh in half, or into thirds 

if large, bearing in mind that 

they will shrink as they cook. 

Refrigerate until needed. 

Put the onion, ginger, garlic 

and chilli into a food processor 

and process until you have a 

chunky paste. 

Heat the oil in a large frying 

pan over medium heat. Add the 

paste and cook for 8-10min, 

until the liquid from the onion 

has evaporated and the paste 

looks dry. Stir through the butter 

and cook for a minute until the 

butter has melted. 

Stir in the chilli powder, 

cumin, coriander, garam masala, 

paprika and cardamom pods. 

Add two tablespoons cold water 

and stir to incorporate any stuckon 

bits. 

Stir in the tomato paste and 

stock powder, then scrape the 

contents of the frying pan into 

the bowl of the slow cooker. 

Add the crushed tomatoes, 

cornflour, yoghurt and chicken. 

Give everything a good stir, 

nudging the chicken into the 

sauce, then cover and cook for 

two hours. 

Give it a stir, then quickly 

cover again to avoid losing too 

much heat. Cook for a further 

two hours, until the chicken 

is very tender and the sauce is 

thick. Serve the butter chicken 

on brown basmati rice, garnished 

with chopped coriander and 

lemon wedges on the side.

Wine 

Sizing up Central Otago’s 2017 pinot noirs 

• By Mark Henderson 

I’VE RECENTLY had the 

opportunity to taste my way 

through a swathe of 2017 pinot 

noirs from Otago. 

The 2017s are the dominant 

vintage in the market at the moment, 

though probably 

won’t be around for too long as 

many wineries had significantly 

lower yields in 2017, while 

2018’s, from that hot “solar’’ 

vintage, are already trickling on 

to the shelves, offering a 

fascinating comparison with the 

cooler 2017 vintage. 

2017 Quartz Reef 

Bendigo Single Vineyard 

Pinot Noir 

Price: $49 

Rating: Excellent 

Bright and fresh nose,subtlety, 

a sweet accent to the perfume, 

underlying savoury, raspberry 

and spice notes, adding thyme 

and rosemary with time. Sweeter 

fruit initially in the red fruit/ 

raspberry spectrum with a fine 

tannic backbone, this swells in the 

glass, developing a fleshiness and 

delightful flow through the palate. 

Nice balance here and excellent 

potential. 

www.quartzreef.co.nz 

2017 Rockburn 

Central Otago 

Pinot Noir 

Price: $45 

Rating: Excellent to outstanding 

Tilled earth, dark fruits, 

savoury elements and rhubarb. 

Powerful fruit leads the palate 

with lead pencil and stoney/ 

schisty notes in support, backed 

by a fine tannic backbone and 

a little fruit pithy chewiness. 

The complexity, fruit intensity 

and structure bodes well for the 

future, yet this is also delightful 

now. 

www.rockburn.co.nz 

2017 Mount Edward 

Central Otago 

Pinot Noir 

Price: $49 

Rating: Very good to 

excellent 

Powerful, fresh nose, savoury, 

brambly wild herb notes with 

fresh lift; some oak spice with 

time. Dark fruits, licorice, spice, 

a youthfully sappy quality. The 

palate shows a vibrantly brash, 

youthful character at first, adding 

red fruits into the mix. Aeration 

sees this fatten up nicely, suggesting 

that a little time will be a good 

friend here. 

www.aronuiwines.co.nz 

2017 Mondillo 

Central Otago 

Pinot Noir 

Price: $45 (not yet released) 


Intense, sweetly-fruited nose 

with liqueur fruits, berry compote 

and spice. Dark cherry and dark 

fruits are a foil for the charry oak, 

while aeration increases the complexity 

with savoury, earth and 

wild herb notes adding interest. . 

www.mondillo.com 

2017 Coal Pit Tiwha 

Central Otago 

Pinot Noir 

Price: $57 

Rating: Very good 

A wild and funky element leads 

with red fruits, herbal notes and 

leather sweeping in. Noticeably 

sweetly fruited, providing some 

confectionery notes, yet the palate 

has a cooler, juicy crunchy feel, 

playing a little in the sweet and 

sour spectrum. The palate follows 

the nose, adding earthy touches 

before flowing to a bright, lifted, 

red-fruited finish. Up front appeal.

The nose keeps shifting; at 

times blueberry, raspberry, florality, 

savoury notes, char and bramble. 

At first, youthfully chewy and 

powerfully tannic with whole 

bunch sappy, stalky notes that 

challenge you. This wine marches 

to the beat of its own drum, with 

time unfurling suppleness and 

glimpses of the complexity and 

texture that lie waiting. It should 

be a fascinating journey.

Hodgkins’ sesquicentenary marked in fine style 

Two new books on the life of

Dunedin artist’s birth

Reviewed by Geoff Adams 

Polar and mountaineering book collection for Templeton 

AS MUCH as it pains 

Oamaru’s Adventure Books 

owner Bill Nye to say it, 

the town’s literary loss is 

Christchurch’s gain. 

Last year he was bequeathed 

more than 6000 books – plus 

memorabilia and ephemera 

– donated by the late Jack 

Newton, an American collector 

of mainly polar exploration 

and mountaineering literature 

based in Boston. 

Before Mr Newton died, he 

expressed his desire for his 

collection to be exhibited as a 

permanent, accessible reference 

and research library. 

Mr Nye hoped to display 

the treasure trove of books 

and documents, in addition to 

another 1500-plus books in his 

Oamaru premises on a mezzanine 

floor that he planned to 

build. 

However, the proposal was 

turned down by his landlord, 

the Oamaru Whitestone Civic 

Trust. 

Instead, the collection will 

now be housed at Antarcticthemed 

tourism attraction 

Husky Base Camp at Templeton. 

Mr Nye said it was unfortunate 

the collection was unable 

to be displayed in Oamaru, but 

was pleased a suitable location 

had been found further north. 

“When I spoke to a guy 

about Jack’s collection he 

said America’s loss is New 

Zealand’s gain. The same 

thing occurred to me when 

the civic trust rejected the 

proposal for a mezzanine in 

here. It’s Oamaru’s loss and 

Christchurch’s gain.’’ 

THESE TWO remarkably fine 

books about the Dunedin-born 

artist enrich our knowledge 

about Frances Hodgkins, who 

is regarded as one of the leading 

lights of the British Modernism 

movement and probably New 

Zealand’s most influential of 

expatriate artists. 

The books are linked with a 

major touring landmark exhibition 

of Hodgkins’ works opening 

in Auckland. 

They are published in tandem 

and work beautifully to celebrate 

the 150th anniversary of the artist’s 

birth; a daughter of William 

Mathew Hodgkins, the person 

responsible for setting up the 

Otago Art Society in 1876. 

European Journeys is a large and 

weighty book that explores Frances 

as a traveller across cultures 

and landscapes, teaching and 

discovering the cubists in Paris, 

the landscape and light of Ibiza 

and Morocco, and exhibiting with 

the progressive Seven and Five 

Society in London. It enchants 

with its rich visual chronology 

of the artist abroad, and delights 

with more than 100 illustrations: 

some of Frances’ key paintings 

and drawings. 

The two editors (both senior 

members of the Auckland Art 

Gallery staff) have done a marvellous 

job with their own written 

contributions and employing the 

talents of a number of distinguished 

national and international 

art historians, curators and 

critics who also contribute. 

This is a book that entices the 

reader to turn the pages for its 

wonderful selection of Hodgkins’ 

imaginative art works, many that 

may perhaps be unfamiliar to the 

viewer. 

The second book is Mary 

Kisler’s magnum opus, a smaller 

book certainly but no less appealing 

as she narrates her discoveries 

and adventures in Finding 

Frances Hodgkins. The book 

immediately draws attention with 

another large selection (more 

than 70) of Hodgkins art works. 

It is more personal in character 

as Kisler tells her tales of several 

visits to countries in Europe and 

elsewhere where Hodgkins had 

visited, drawn and painted. 

The author had successes in 


Local 

News 

Now 


identifying many places chosen 

by the artist to feature (or be 

adapted) in paintings. Detectivelike 

she tells how she followed 

tracks and clues to understand 

her target. Admitting that no-one 

can really “find’’ Frances Hodgkins 

(a complex figure and rover), 

Kisler does piece together some 

of the puzzles surrounding where, 

when and why the artist painted 

some of her best known pieces. 

Kisler’s own travel adventures also 

make enjoyable reading. 

It is a remarkable event in New 

Zealand art history to have these 

two splendid books published at 

the same time. They fit together 

to give a grand salute to the artist. 

As John Piper wrote of her in The 

Spectator in 1940: “Probably no 

living painter has such powers of 

arranging colours in original and 

telling ways.’’ 

Hodgkins deserves this similar 

and admirable recognition in 

her home country. We await the 

exhibition later in the year with 

great interest.

SELWYN RURAL LIFE 

SELWYN TIMES 

Proposed law good 

for rural communities 

Federated Farmers and Dairy NZ both 

support the Government’s decision to 

proceed with a Farm Debt Mediation Bill. 

The proposed legislation will require 

creditors to offer farmers who default 

on payments mediation before they take 

enforcement action and will allow farmers 

to initiate mediation. 

The legislation will apply to loans that are 

secured against farmland, farm machinery, 

livestock and harvested crops and wool. 

“Farmers are especially vulnerable to 

business down-turns as a result of conditions 

that are often outside their control, such as 

the weather, market price volatility, pests and 

diseases like Mycoplasma bovis. Farmers are 

also facing a raft of policy changes, including 

around freshwater management and climate 

change, and these could apply even further 

pressure,” says Feds Vice-President and 

commerce spokesperson Andrew Hoggard. 

DairyNZ chief 

executive Dr 

Tim Mackle 

According to Federated Farmers, the 

agricultural sector has nearly $63 billion 

of debt and their six-monthly banking 

surveys show that while most farmers are 

satisfied with their banks, satisfaction has 

been slipping and the number feeling under 

pressure has been rising. 

“There is no substitute for good 

communication and we urge farmers and 

their banks to keep in close touch and build 

positive relationships in good times and 

bad, with or without farm debt mediation,” 

Hoggard says. 

DairyNZ chief executive Dr Tim Mackle 

also welcomes the Farm Debt Mediation Bill 

as an example of an initiative that will mean 

a lot to farmers who may be feeling financial 

pressure. 

“For many, the farm is more than just a 

business. It’s a home, a lifestyle or an asset to 

be passed down to the next generation. That 

brings with it its own unique pressures,” said 

Dr Mackle. 

“This Bill acknowledges that and will 

provide support for farmers in financial 

distress in their dealings with secured 

creditors, allowing for the fair, equitable and 

timely resolution of farm debt issues. 

“Sometimes a farmer’s business can also 

be thrown off-kilter by an event entirely out 

of their control whether that be a drought, 

a flood, volatile international markets or a 

biosecurity incursion. This legislation will 

really help support farmers managing such 

volatility,” said Dr Mackle. 

“While we would hope that farmers don’t 

find themselves in this unfortunate situation, 

this is the reality of any business sector.” 

The Farm Debt Mediation Bill was 

proposed by the Coalition Government. 

It’s an idea that was first cooked up by New 

Zealand First MP Mark Patterson. 

As the party’s primary industry 

spokesperson, Patterson said when a farmer 

is in financial distress, a system of mediation 

could help find solutions and avoid property 

foreclosure. 

“It offers a fairer system and is in the best 

interest of all parties.” 

Patterson withdrew his Farm Debt 

Mediation private members’ Bill late last 

year, and it’s been reported he only did that 

when the Coalition Government indicated 

it would introduce its own collective one.

Mudfish protection project 

highlights collaboration 

A ground-breaking Canterbury mudfish 

(kōwaro) protection project in Haldon 

Pastures features a Southern Hemisphere 

first – a solar-powered electric fish barrier, 

designed to prevent predation by trout. 

Since its inception, this pilot project has 

brought together many different groups and 

individuals, particularly the close working 

relationship with the Department of 

Conservation and funding from fu Fonterra’s 

sustainable catchments programme. 

Installation of the barrier will allow the 

mudfish to expand into the lower reaches 

of the site and stop predation by trout – 

increasing spring-fed stream habitat for 

the mudfish from 880m2 to 8,000m in the 

Selwyn Waihora catchment. It also allows 

for the study of predator exclusion and 

population monitoring, harnessing this 

innovative technology to find new solutions. 

With the project on private land, it was 

essential to have the support and backing of 

landowners – one of whom is John Grigg, 

who said “It’s such an amazing environment, 

and we wanted to do something useful to 

leave the land in a better state and protect 

this unique species.” 

Minister of Conservation Eugenie 

Sage said: “This project is audacious and 

provides an opportunity to increase our 

understanding of how we can better protect 

our native freshwater fish from predators. In 

combination with other initiatives, it allows 

restoration of important sites for these

species and the ecosystems which support 

them, across Canterbury and New Zealand. 

“The management of Canterbury mudfish 

and their habitat is complex, and requires 

close collaboration between Environment 

Canterbury and DOC. As their habitat is 

predominantly on private land, it is also 

highly dependent on the commitment of 

those landowners,” said Minister Sage.

in this way is a perfect example of how, by 

joining forces, we can make biodiversity and 

species protection not just a priority, but a 

practical reality.” 

The project is a Southern Hemisphere first, 

using electromagnetic barrier technology 

designed by US company Smith-Root. The 

company said: “Throughout the design, 

equipment supply, and commissioning 

stages of the project, we collaborated with 

and relied upon the expertise of PDP and 

Frizzells. The information provided by these 

experts, and the reliable communication 

and leadership by Johannes, made our job 

much easier, especially being 19 time zones 

away.” 

Councillor Pham emphasised the 

importance of projects such as this: “Sadly, 

time isn’t on our side when it comes to our 

remaining mudfish populations, so I am 

really pleased to see us here today, celebrating 

this innovative predatory fish barrier. These 

special critters really do need all the help 

they can get, and that means having as many 

tools in the toolbox as possible.”

SELWYN TIMES 

Alpine passes no hurdle to Equinox 

IT WAS supposed to be a 

Canterbury/West Coast road trip 

in a Holden Equinox to coincide 

with the March equinox, the 

twice a year event when the sun 

crosses the plane of the equator 

making days and nights of equal 

length. 

However, as a mark of respect 

to the Christchurch terror attack 

victims, the event for a group of 

motoring writers was postponed; 

instead it became a journey to 

mark the winter solstice of June 

22 – the shortest day – a chance 

to watch the sun rise over Sumner 

beach and see it disappear into 

the horizon at Punakaiki on the 

West Coast. 

In-between stood some of 

the most scenic roads in New 

Zealand – the alpine passes and 

Buller River regions – and roads 

which allowed the Equinox to 

show its credentials. 

The Equinox is not new in New 

Zealand, the Mexican-sourced 

sport utility vehicle landed here 

in 2017, and has established itself 

markedly in the crowded midsize 

SUV sector. 

It comes in a wide variety of 

models, there is a complete range 

Motoring 

Ross Kiddie 

starting from $29,990 and ending 

at $60,490, all with four-cylinder 

engines, and all turbocharged. 

Base models land with a 1.5-litre 

petrol unit, there is a 2-litre petrol 

and a 1.6-litre diesel. 

I’m yet to drive the diesel, but 

I can report that even in basemodel 

form the power plant is 

far from disgraced; it is a real 

honey and would probably be 

my choice if I was an Equinox 

buyer. The cars we drove through 

the alps, and return, were 2-litre 

LTZ-V petrol models, which list 

at $57,490. 

At that price the Equinox is 

fully loaded with specification. It 

gets all the traditional SUV kit, 

but there are also many niceties 

that would please the South 

Island buyer – heated steering 

wheel and heated seats for the 

cold winters, dual sunroof, and 

cooling seats. 

Other major items include 

satellite navigation, cruise control, 

Bose premium audio, wireless 

mobile phone charging, handsfree 

tailgate, and hill descent 

control. 

The latter works on four-wheeldrive, 

obviously, and while not 

HOLDEN EQUINOX LTZ-V: Four-wheel-drive for gnarly off-road 

tracks. 

all models have drive to all four 

wheels, the LTZ-V does, and it 

is usual SUV fare, not so much a 

device to tackle gnarly off-road 

stuff, but easily a mechanism so 

that cross-country tracks and 

trails can be conquered. 

The Equinox is capable and 

honest, it does well under 

testing conditions and does so 

without compromise. Occupant 

comfort is high, and the driveline 

mechanicals are well suited to 

tough conditions. 

Holden rates the 2-litre model 

with 188kW and 353Nm; for 

interest’s sake, the 1.5 gets 127kW 

and 275Nm, reinforcing my 

comment earlier that it doesn’t 

miss out on much. 

Quite obviously, the 2-litre 

doesn’t work quite as hard, and 

it has more than enough power, 

it competes in the mid-size SUV 

market admirably. Against the 

stopwatch it will easily make a 

standstill to 100km/h sprint in 

8.8sec. 

More importantly, it is an engine 

that is gentle with fuel use. Holden 

claims an 8.4-litre per 100km 

(34mpg) combined cycle average. 

That sits well with the 9.8l/100km 

(29mpg) figure showing on the 

fuel usage readout on the journey 

across the great divide. 

Drive is channelled through a 

nine-speed automatic gearbox, 

the benefit of so many gears is the 

smooth and fluid way in which 

transmission is delivered. 

In the tight stuff the Equinox

also has tidy handling manners,

compliance between cornering 

and comfort, steering feedback to 

the driver is constant. 

Holden has gone big with its 

sport utility vehicle range. Not 

only is there a comprehensive 

array of models to choose from, 

they go from small to large – Trax 

to the new Acadia. 

The company on both sides 

of Tasman is on a fairly solid 

direction in terms of marketing 

and promotion. 

The product which is arriving 

in our market is markedly 

different to what we have 

traditionally come to expect. 

However, that’s a good thing, 

the Holdens that are gracing our 

showrooms are aimed to satisfy 

families and fleet buyers.



Gardening 

Prepare vege patch for spring planting 

GOING INTO winter, air and 

soil temperatures are low, the 

soil is often very wet, with frosts 

in many parts of southern New 

Zealand. 

July is the main month for 

planting new deciduous trees, 

shrubs, fruit trees and roses, and 

garden centres are now fully 

stocked with these plants. Always 

select high quality specimens 

and plant correctly with plenty of 

compost into the existing soil. 

In the vege patch, continue 

planting and harvesting broccoli, 

brussels sprouts, cabbages, 

cauliflower, silverbeet and 

spinach. Where soil conditions 

allow, you can start preparing the 

vege garden for spring planting. 

In late July, chop up and dig in 

green manure crops like lupins or 

mustard. 

If you have roses, complete 

your annual pruning, especially 

on bush or standards that 

produce flowers late into early 

winter such as icebergs. 

Remove all dead and weak 

growth, clean out the centre of 

plants and prune to outward 

facing buds. Add fresh compost 

to the soil around the rose plant, 

but do not fertilise until spring 

arrives. 

In warmer, sheltered areas, 

citrus production should be 

in full swing, with clementine 

MAINTENANCE: If your hydrangeas are looking sad now is the time to prune them back. It’s also time to plant deciduous trees. 

mandarins, lemons, limes and 

navel oranges all now maturing. 

Check your trees while picking 

fruit for any overcrowding or 

weak branches that should be 

removed. Check for any root 

stock growth and prune where 

required. For colder climates, use 

frost cloths to protect frost tender 

citrus. 

Give fruit trees a second winter 

clean up. Spray with a copper 

compound or lime sulphur to 

kill any overwintering fungal 

diseases. 

Now’s the time to prune your 

blackberries, boysenberries, 

loganberries, or raspberries. 

Cut out all old canes and any 

weak spindly growth. 

New season strong canes 

should then be tied up on wires 

or fences to help support this 

summer’s fruit crop. 

Complete your strawberry 

plantings this month. Purchase 

new plants or obtain young plants 

(runners) from the previous 

season strawberry plants. For the 

home garden, plant at least 20 

strawberry plants to ensure plenty 

of fresh strawberries for the 

whole family. 

Your hydrangeas may be 

starting to look a little sad. 

They can grow very large and 

require heavy pruning 

and thinning. Remove old wood 

completely as there will be ample 

new growth in spring. Make sure 

you cut just above a node as it is 

from here that spring growth will 

appear. 

Flowering winter shrubs 

like azaleas, camellias and 

rhododendrons will provide 

lovely colour in your garden.

WORKSAFE NEW Zealand 

has b en a proached in a bid to 

fina ly repair the potholes in New 

Brighton’s Hawke St car park. 

Coastal-Burw od Ward city 

counci lor David East wants 

WorkSafe to pre sure the car 

park’s private owners into 

repairing the potholes which are 

a “trip and vehicle” hazard. 

WorkSafe chief inspector 

a se sment southern Da ren 

Handforth said it may be able to 

take action under the Health and 

Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a 

person conducting a busine s or 

undertaking.” 

Mr Handforth said WorkSafe 

is aware of the concerns raised by 

Cr East abou the car park. 

“WorkSafe has completed 

an a se sment visi to the site 

and is engaging with the owner 

to advise them that it is their 

responsibility to manage their 

risks a propriately.” 

Different parts of the car park 

are owned by various people 

and the Coastal-Burw od 

Community Board recently 

wrote to them about its concerns 

around health and safety. 

Cr East said the bi gest i sue 

in the past has b en ge ting in 

touch with the landlords and 

owners and ge ting them to 

agr e to anything. “The board 

a preciates that multi-ownership 

of the parking space may present 

a difficulty in co-ordinating 

repair/resurfacing but felt obliged 

to pa s these concerns onto you,” 

said the le ter. 

One reply has b en received so 

far from an owner who is wi ling 

to discu s the i sue. However, a l 

the owners would have to agr e 

to undertake work. 

Cr East said there had b en 

a “number of incidences” in 

the car park of people injuring 

themselves which had gone 

unreported. 

“I’ve always though that it 

has b en quite amazing that we 

haven’t had any serious a cidents 

or senior citizens perhaps 

tri ping in those potholes and 

doing themselve some damage.” 

He is confiden the new 

a proach wi l bring results. 

“I think the WorkSafe 

involvement may prove to be the 

lever that we are l oking for.”

THE PAPANUI-I nes 

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 

in the ditch” project. 

Ms Jone said the board’s role 

is to represen the community, 

and by gathering signatures from 

residents, it was fulfi ling that 

role. 

“One of the roles of a community 

board is to represent and act 

as advocate for the interests of its 

community and this is what we 

are doing. The LTP and a nual 

plans are a l about lo bying the 

council.”

Cave Rock 

Apartments’ 

owners 

expect EQC 

sign-off 

this week 

• By Sarla Donovan 

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.”

A decision to paint double yellow

Spreydon-Cashmere Community 

Board. 

Bu the Banks Peninsula Community 

Board decided against

road’s na rowne s and general 

condition. 

The changes are designed to try 

and reduce the crash rate. 

Insta lation of the double 

ye low lines, the new sp ed limit 

signs and raised centre line pavement

New World Fe ry Rd butcher 

Jeremy Garth and his team, the 

Pure South Sharp Blacks, recently 

came second a the World 

Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern 

Ireland. 

It was the firs time Mr Garth 

had competed in the challenge 

and he was “rea ly proud” of 

how the team performed. 

“We produced some top quality 

products and came away 

with a g od result so we’re very 

ha py,” he said. 

The preparation for this year’s 

World Butchers’ Cha lenge was 

intense as the team members 

met in Auckland every two 

months for lengthy w ekend 

practices. 

Mr Garth, who has b en a 

butcher for 14 years, said the 

competition brought back his 

pa sion for the job. 

“Doing a l thi stuff and 

m eting new people, s eing new 

ideas, it just brings that flair 

back for you,” he said. 

Mr Garth hopes to own a 

butcher shop of his own someday 

but says for now he wi l focus 

on ge ting mor experience 

and on the 2020 cha lenge. 

“In two years’ time, we’ l be 

going back to try and win the 

title,” he said.

A CRACKDOWN on mobile 

traders acro s the districts could 

be l oming. 

However, the public has li tle 

interest in having input into the 

i sue. 

Only eight submi sions were 

received for a potential bylaw 

aimed at regulating commercial 

activities in public places. 

The district council wi l be 

holding a hearing for the Public 

Places Bylaw and Policy on Commercial 

Activities and Events in 

Public Places. 

A hearing i scheduled to be 

held on Thursday. 

The bylaw comes as an increasing 

number of mobile traders 

are s eking to operate in Selwyn, 

especia ly during the summer 

months. 

In the past year, the district 

council has received five inquiries 

about se ting up a mobile busine s 

on private or public land. 

A report said there are two 

str et operators in Darfield, a 

coff e cart is parked beside the 

railway in Ro leston, and a pi za 

cart visits Lincoln w ekly betw en 

September-May along with a Thai 

f od truck.

Pupils learn about role of war horses 

GR ENDALE SCHOOL pupils 

have taken a step back in time, 

s eing first hand what men and 

horses l oked like during war. 

The New Zealand Mounted 

Rifles Charitable Trust president 

Mark A pleton and member 

Mike Donaldson t ok their 

horses to the sch ol on Monday, 

in a bid to educate pupils on the 

sacrifice their ancestors made in 

World War 1 and World War 2. 

Mr A pleton and Mr Donaldson 

a rived a the sch ol dre sed 

in World War 1 uniforms while 

their horses Tommy and Kruze 

wore 1 0-year-old sa dles donated 

to the trust. 

The presentation is a prelude 

to the Gr endale Recreation Reserve 

Management Commi t e’s 

upcoming Anzac Day service. 

As a tribute to those who 

served, members of the trust wi l 

ride horseback to the service. 

Mr A pleton said it was 

important children were 

educated on what soldiers 

wen through during World 

War 1 and World War 2. 

But he said the presentation 

didn’t go into t o much detail 

and was more of a “show and 

te l” to make them aware of what 

the soldiers l oked like. 

Children were shown the type 

of kits horses were required to 

wear in the war.

AN U PER Ri carton butcher 

has proven himself to be a cut 

above his Au sie rivals at an 

international competition. 

Elite Meats owner Corey 

Winder was named in the a l 

star team a the World Butchers’ 

Cha lenge in Northern Ireland. 

Mr Winder and his team, the 

Pure South Sharp Blacks, which 

includes W olston butcher 

Jeremy Garth, finished second 

in the competition. 

He said the cha lenge started 

as a “transtasman test match” 

seven years ago. 

The preparation for this 

year’s World Butchers’ Challenge 

was intense as the team 

members met in Auckland 

every two months for lengthy 

w ekend practices. Mr Winder 

said coming second against 1 

other countries was a “fantastic” 

result. 

“To get second behind Ireland 

was a huge achievement and to 

be ahead of Australia is an 

even bi ger thing for us,” he 

said. 

But Mr Winder admires the 

Australian team. 

“Those guys over there 

[Australia] are on top of their 

game, they do a g od job,” he 

said. 

“And it just showcases that 

New Zealand has got some 

of the best butchers in the 

world,” he said. 

Mr Winder has b en a butcher 

since the age of 19.

THE HALSWE L-Hornby- 

Ri carton Community Board 

has b en given the gr en ligh to 

o pose the pla ned quarry near 

Templeton. 

Mayor Lia ne Dalziel told the 

board on Thursday it had the okay 

from the city council to make a 

submi sion if Fulton Hogan a plies 

for a resource consen to create a 

qua ry. 

Board chairman Mike Mora 

told Western News the submi sion 

would likely o pose Fulton Hogan’s 

plan. 

“You can just about guarant e 

it . because we [the community 

board] don’t believe qua ries 

should be so close to residential 

areas,” he said. 

Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if 

the city council would endorse the 

board’ submi sion. 

“I’d like to think so because the 

city council has had their eyes 

open as we l ove recent years over 

the crysta line silica risk,” he said. 

Mr Mora said the community 

board wi l be “representing and 

advocating” for the Templeton 

community.

Your guide to all things Real Estate 

in the Selwyn District 

Buying and selling in winter 

Spring is generally considered the 

best time to sell a home. Many houses 

look their best in the warmer weather 

when the sun is streaming through the 

windows and the garden has fresh new 

growth and spring flowers abloom. 

With this in mind, it might seem 

pointless selling in winter yet there are 

still buyers out looking, and with fewer 

properties on the market winter can be 

an ideal time to list your home. Less 

competition could translate to more 

buyers considering your home. 

If people are out looking at homes on 

cold grey days it means they are serious 

about buying so may be more likely to 

make an offer. 

In winter, buyers can assess the 

warmth of a home and see the garden 

with less foliage and growth. Visiting 

after heavy rain allows buyers to observe 

the home’s condition as issues like 

drainage problems or outdoor areas 

where water pools might be evident. 

If currently looking for land to build 

on or choosing a house design for a 

section, visit the section at various times 

of the day to assess where the sun will 

come into the home. Remember, the sun 

is lower in the sky in winter so penetrate 

further inside than it will in summer. 

This exercise will help you appreciate 

which house designs will best suit your 

piece of land as well as where windows, 

exterior doors, indoor/outdoor flow and 

outside living areas will be best placed 

for maximum sun on cooler days. Bear 

in mind other seasonal factors such as 

the potential for strong northwest winds 

in spring and hot dry summer days. 

If selling a property, you will want it 

to look good. Clean up the garden, clip 

back dead wood on trees and shrubs 

and weed garden beds. Mulching will 

make the garden tidier too. Add colour 

with flowers which bloom in winter 

like calendula, hellebores, lobelia, 

pansies and polyanthus. Fill gaps in 

your herbaceous borders with trees and 

shrubs which offer variation of colour 

like bronze and variegated foliage or 

flowering species such as camellia. Keep 

it simple as a fussy looking garden will 

give the impression it requires a lot 

of work to keep it tidy. Many people 

however, want easy care. 

Real estate agents always recommend 

de-cluttering inside and outside. Too 

many ornaments, wall hangings and 

furniture take the eye away from the 

features of the home and will make 

the rooms look smaller. An unclean 

or untidy home will also make it less 

appealing. Create a warm inviting 

atmosphere with fresh flowers, scented 

candles and essential oils (though not 

too strong), and the odd ornament. 

Heat all rooms before an open home 

(especially on dreary days) so viewers 

are not walking into cold rooms. 

The more appeal the home has the 

more chance a potential buyer will make 

a good offer. 

If people are out 

looking at homes on 

cold grey days it means 

they are serious about 

buying so may be more 

likely to make an offer.
