Veteran 

prop leads 

from the 

front as 

Darfield 

advance to 

shield final 

Darfield rugby president 

Scott McIlroy produced 

the perfect example of 

leading from the front 

on Saturday by scoring 

three tries in Darfield’s 

22-21 last minute win over 

Springston to reach the 

Coleman Shield final. The 

35-year-old prop took up 

the president role after 

what he had planned to 

be his last game for the 

premier side in their loss 

to Southbridge in the 

2017 Ellesmere final. But 

‘Scones’, as he’s known at 

the club, has been in hot 

form, averaging nearly a 

try a game since returning 

to the side this year.

Man pulled 

from river 

after he 

attempted 

to cross 

it in a ute 

• By Devon Bolger 

RESCUERS PULLED a man out 

of the swollen Selwyn River after 

he tried to cross it in a ute on 

Sunday. 

Dunsandel chief fire officer 

Ian Chatterton said the brigade 

was called to the incident near 

McGregors Ford about 6pm. 

The man had been 

attempting to drive 

his ute through the 

river, but heavy rain 

caused the water 

level to rise rapidly 

and he was unable 

to get out. 

He sat on the 

roof of his ute for 

as long as he could but had to 

Ian 

Chatterton 

abandon it when it started floating 

downstream. Mr Chatterton said 

rescuers arrived to find the man 

clinging to a shingle heap in the 

middle of the river. 

They were then able to get a 

rope out to him and pull him to 

safety. “He was doing pretty well 

considering what had happened. 

He was very relieved and happy, 

and thanked us for the help.”

AROUND THE ankles son! 

That is probably easier said than done 

when it comes to stopping Darfield captain 

Scott McIlroy (see page 1). 

McIlroy scored three tries in his side’s 

thrilling 22-21 win over Springston to reach the final of the 

Coleman Shield. 

McIlroy is 35 and went into “retirement” at the end of the 

2017 season to take up the role as Darfield’s club president. 

But the big boy, affectionately known as Scones, has found a 

new lease of rugby life back on the field. 

He has been averaging a try a match this season and has obviously 

played a large part in Darfield’s success in 2019. 

Finals day for all grades is at Prebbleton on Saturday. Should 

be a fantastic day.

In Brief 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

Jolene Eagar 

THE DECISION to extend the 

deadline for a public hearing 

over a consent application for a 

quarry between Weedons and 

Templeton is ruffling feathers in 

the community. 

Former 

chairman of 

the Weedons 

Residents Association 

John 

McKim said it’s 

disappointing 

but not surprising 

that Fulton 

Hogan has 

been granted the extension. 

“The man with the biggest 

chequebook always wins, and 

that’s exactly what’s happened 

here.” 

Mr McKim has opposed the 

quarry from the beginning and 

said he feels like they’re out of 

options. 

“The only thing we can do is 

object and hope the commissioners 

have enough sense to make 

sure residents’ concerns are 

looked after.” 

The Weedons Residents 

Association disbanded after 

the resignation of Mr McKim 

EXTENDED: Fulton Hogan will have extra time to prepare for 

the upcoming hearings over its proposed Roydon Quarry. 

PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER 

and secretary Gary Doyle in 

February. 

The Templeton Residents’ 

Association is also concerned 

Fulton Hogan will be given an 

“advantage” in its preparation for 

the upcoming hearings over its 

proposed Roydon Quarry. 

Originally, the hearing for 

the quarry had to be completed 

within 75 working days of 

the submission period closing 

(October 10). 

Fulton Hogan requested Environment 

Canterbury and the 

district council extend the time 

frame for the hearing – it now 

does not have to be completed 

until January 23. 

Resident association chairwoman 

Jolene Eagar said she 

can’t understand how the extension 

is justified as being fair for 

everyone. 

An ECan spokeswoman said 

Fulton Hogan has to wait for a 

section 42A report to be released 

before it can begin working on 

its evidence for the hearing. 

The report, which will discuss 

the submissions on the quarry 

and recommend whether the resource 

consent should be granted 

or not, will be made available by 

September 2. 

Fulton Hogan will then have 

until September 23 to respond 

and provide evidence to the 

hearings panel. 

All submitters intending to 

use expert evidence in support 

of their submissions will have to 

provide it by October 14. 

Mrs Eagar is concerned Fulton 

Hogan already has the information 

from the submissions available 

to them to start preparing 

for the hearing. 

She initially questioned if the 

time frames can be extended for 

Fulton Hogan, why couldn’t the 

15 working days be extended to 

allow submitters to respond to 

Fulton Hogan’s evidence. 

Any party participating in the 

hearing can request further time 

to prepare responses to the hearings 

panel. 

But Mrs Eagar said the 

association is not familiar with 

the Resource Management Act 

and it should have been told by 

ECan what it can and can’t do. 

MAN DONATES $100 

Lincoln Isushi owner Linlin 

Cheng said a man came into 

the store last Thursday and 

donated $100 after hearing the 

business was scammed with 

counterfeit money. The man 

did not want to give his name 

or number but said he’d heard 

about what happened and 

wanted to help. Mrs Cheng said 

she was moved by the act of 

kindness: “What he did shows 

the Lincoln community really 

does care and support us.” It 

comes a week after a man and 

woman separately used fake 

$100 notes at the store. 

LIBRARY IT UPGRADES 

Selwyn libraries are receiving 

upgrades to their IT services 

this week. Due to the work 

being carried out, public 

computers and printing 

won’t be available at Lincoln 

Library today, Leeston on 

Thursday and Darfield on 

Friday. A district council 

spokesman said Wi-fi can still 

be accessed from personal 

devices and they apologise 

for the inconvenience. Public 

computers and printing will be 

available from Saturday.

Reserve upgrade will give Southbridge 


A DEVELOPMENT aimed at 

encouraging people to stop and 

stay in Southbridge is under way. 

A reserve on High St opposite 

the town hall is being turned 

into a central focus point for the 

town. 

The reserve will include 

historic information, a war 

memorial and a playground 

along with picnic and rest areas. 

Southbridge advisory committee 

member Ian Weaver said the 

development is well overdue. 

“When complete, McMillan 

reserve will enhance the town 

centre along High St by making 

it a focal point for both visitors 

and locals alike.” 

“It will also complement the 

Southbridge town hall that sits 

directly opposite the reserve,” 

Mr Weaver said. 

Local business owners are celebrating 

the new development. 

Owner of the Southbridge Cafe 

and Dairy Mike Miller said it’s 

good to see something happening. 

“I think it will help to generate 

more business. The project looks 

good on paper, I am hoping it 

gets more people to come and 

stop in Southbridge.”

CELEBRATING: Southbridge Cafe and Dairy’s Mike and Fiona

owner Bryan Chapman said it’s 

the first step in getting things 

moving for the town. 

“Things have been pretty quiet 

at the moment, it [the development] 

should get more people 

to stop and have a look around,” 

Mr Chapman said. 

Southbridge Challenge employee 

Suzie Harkerss said it has 

been a long time in the making 

and she’s thrilled it’s finally getting 

done. 

“It’s going to be good for us, 

the swimming pool, the dairy. I 

can’t wait for it to be completed,” 

Mrs Harkerss said. 

Southbridge Takeaways manager 

Wei Leng said it was great 

news for the town. 

“I think it will be good for 

business and I’m happy that we 

may get more customers now 

that people are more likely to 

stop,” Mr Leng said. 

The development will be in 

two parts, with the first part 

being the construction of the 

playground, which is under way.

Call for vigilance 

crossing rivers 

•From page 1 

The man’s ute was taken by the 

river. 

“I imagine it’s well under water 

now,” Mr Chatterton said. 

It was believed the man was 

crossing the river to go duck shooting. 

The rescue mission took around 

30min. 

A rescue helicopter was unable to 

come in and help with the rescue 

due to fog, in spite of this Mr Chatterton 

said it was a good result and 

they were able to get the man out 

of the river with no injuries. His 

clothing had also kept him warm. 

“It was very challenging conditions, 

he was lucky we got there 

when we did.” 

He said it wasn’t an ideal situation 

and people need to be vigilant 

when crossing rivers at this time 

of year. 

“It’s important to assess the situation 

first and check out the conditions 

of the river before you go.” 

It comes after a number of river 

incidents in the Canterbury region. 

Kayde Anderson, 9, from Dunsandel 

died when the ute he was in 

with three men rolled several times 

in the Clyde River, near Erewhon 

Station, two weeks ago. 

Four people had to be winched to 

safety by a rescue helicopter after 

their two vehicles became stuck in 

the Waimakariri River on the same 

day. 

Budding architects put their skills to the 

test at the very popular World of Bricks 

school holiday programme at Lincoln 

Library. Children spent the day creating 

art with mosaics and having fun time.

period for me, as I am a marriage

therefore I will not be seeking 

re-election,” Mrs MacLachlan 

said. 

The association is allocated 

funds each year 

by the district council 

to use in the Rolleston 

township. 

Its 2018/2019 discretionary 

fund budget for the last 

financial year was $44,605. 

The 2019/2020 budget is due 

to be allocated but can’t be if a 

new chairperson doesn’t step 

forward. 

Mrs MacLachlan said after 

three years as chairwoman, she 

still plans on being a member of 

the association. 

“I feel our community 

deserves residents’ input as to 

where to spend our discretionary 

fund, but unfortunately without 

a chairperson our association 

will no longer be able to run.” 

The association has undertaken

How to choose a quality early 

learning centre for your child 

Choosing an early learning centre 

for your child is a big decision but 

fortunately, research shows that children 

benefit from quality, loving, stimulating 

and supportive early childhood centres. 

The benefits of early learning centres 

We know that quality childhood 

education can have a great effect on 

children’s social skills, communication 

and language, giving them a head start 

when beginning school. Research shows 

these skills can also set them up for 

academic success later in their adult 

lives. 

All qualified teachers have three-year 

early childhood degrees and diplomas. 

They provide a wide range of experiences 

that extend children’s abilities, giving 

them opportunities for physical, mental 

and emotional growth.

ADVERTORIAL 

Choosing an early learning centre 

We recommend you shop around. Jump 

online – what’s in your community? 

There are many different types of 

early learning centres. Find out their 

differences and locations - do you need a 

centre close to home – or work? 

There are many types of financial 

support. WINZ can help subsidise 

(conditions apply) and most centres offer 

20 hours free from three years. 

Get personal recommendations from 

other parents and if you’re interested in 

a centre, request a copy of their last ERO 

(Education Review Office) report. 

Visit your short-listed centres with 

your child through an appointment 

or simply drop in. The benefit to an 

appointment is that centre staff will be 

expecting you, will show you around and 

answer any questions you may have. 

Take time to absorb the feeling of the 

centre. Are staff interacting respectfully 

and engaged with children in the centre? 

Are there good play resources available? 

Are children fully engaged? Talk to 

the staff about what you want for your 

child, any concerns you have, and listen 

carefully to their responses. 

BestStart Educare has been operating 

for over 22 years and is New Zealand’s

Booth has been battling to get 

answers from health authorities 

after losing his 21-year-old son 

Liam to a suspected suicide. 

“It is like I am banging my 

head against a brick wall and 

no one is listening or being 

accountable for their actions or 

inactions,” he said. 

The ongoing saga has 

prompted the Greendale resident 

to put his name forward to run 

for the Canterbury District 

Health Board in the October 

local body elections. 

“If I can’t change it (the health 

system) from the outside, maybe 

I can change it from the inside,” 

Mr Booth said. 

If he is elected onto the board, 

Mr Booth hopes to focus on 

mental health and raising 

awareness about suicide. 

Last month police statistics 

revealed 4369 attempted suicide 

events in Canterbury were 

reported in 2018, up 59 per cent 

from 2015. 

Mr Booth said if he can stop 

one young person from doing 

what Liam did, he will have done 

a good job. 

“From my point of view, I had

Geoff Booth,

suicide in 2017,

Board in

elections. 

skin in the game and lost it in 

the form of Liam . . . I have got 

a life experience that I never 

thought I would ever have,” he 

said. 

Mr Booth wants to ensure 

grieving families get the support 

they need following a suicide. 

In 2017, he laid a complaint 

with the CDHB after Liam was 

found dead in Beckenham Park, 

near his flat, on October 2.

The case is still before the 

coroner. 

Eighteen days before his death, 

Liam had threatened to harm 

himself at Halswell Quarry Park. 

He was taken to Christchurch 

Hospital by police for assessment 

and then he was discharged. 

Mr Booth told the CDHB 

hospital staff wrongly discharged 

Liam and took his word he 

wasn’t going to harm himself.

Last year Selwyn Times 

reported the CDHB undertook a 

serious event review to identify 

opportunities to improve its 

systems and processes. 

The review said there was clear 

documentation as to why admission 

to hospital under the Mental 

Health Act was not thought to 

be appropriate. It said Liam was 

opposed to his admission and 

the clinical opinion was not 

to forcibly admit him. But Mr 

Booth said the CDHB has not 

been “accountable”. 

“There was an opportunity 

to actually put in place a 

wraparound service for Liam 

because Liam just lied to them. I 

knew that was what Liam would 

do to try and get himself out of 

the situation he had got himself 

into,” he said. 

About three months ago, Mr 

Booth approached the Health 

and Disability Commissioner 

service in Christchurch to seek 

advice on making a formal 

complaint. 

Over the next month, he 

plans to lodge a complaint with 

the Crown entity, which is 

responsible for protecting the 

rights of people who use health 

and disability services. 

Commuters get 

new park and 

rides in Rolleston 

TWO NEW park and ride 

facilities have opened in 

Rolleston. 

Foster Park is home to one 

of them, and will offer people 

the ability to catch the No 85 

express bus service into the city. 

The other is at a newly 

constructed car park off 

Norman Kirk Drive adjacent to 

the district council office. From 

here, users can connect to the 

No 85, Yellow Line and No 820 

bus services. 

There is 79 parking spaces 

and six cycle racks. Parking 

is free for people using a bus 

services. 

Said Environment 

Canterbury manager of public 

transport Edward Wright: 

“We’re really pleased to see such 

a great park and ride facility 

now available for Rolleston 

residents, along with the option 

to also park at Foster Park. 

Having park and ride options 

helps to make public transport 

a more accessible travel choice 

for more of the community.” 

The entrance to the park 

and ride at Foster Park is on 

Broadlands Drive.

New-look food court to 

enhance customer experience 

Always aiming to provide an enjoyable and diverse shopping 

experience for its customers, the popular Westfield shopping 

centre in Riccarton is enhancing that experience with a facelift for 

its food court. 

Comprising 10 outlets with a variety of food choices, the whole 

food court area is now lighter, brighter and more open, while the 

addition of lush greenery, and the new improved seating layout 

have been designed to create a more relaxed fast/casual eating 

environment. 

“We are delighted to showcase our new-look food court to our 

community,” centre manager Kirstie McNulty says. 

She invites customers to join in the celebrations marking the 

launch of the upgraded food court, which kick off on Thursday 

evening, July 25. More FM will be on site, along with the Winning 

Wheel giving customers the chance to win exciting prizes. 

The entertainment will also include face painting, music and 

action entertainment, waiters with food sampling and balloon 

twisting. The celebrations will continue throughout the evening 

on Friday, July 26, August 1 and 2, and August 8 and 9, with face 

painting, balloon twisting, entertainment and giveaways. 

The food court is not the only place to enjoy a bite at Westfield, 

however – there are more than 30 eating places located around 

the centre, all under one roof. These combined with the major 

retailers, fashion brands and numerous other specialty stores give 

customers the opportunity to enjoy true one-stop shopping at 

Westfield, with something there for the whole family. Extensive, 

easily accessible free parking adds to the convenience. 

The food court renovations are a follow-on from the previous 

upgrading work that was carried out some 18 months ago at the 

centre and included painting of the whole interior and the addition 

of comfort zones and plantings, Ms McNulty says.

Readers respond to last 

week’s article about 

district councillors and 

Malvern Community Board 

members who will be able 

to have their childcare 

costs subsidised by 

ratepayers 

Kerry Adams – Do district 

councillors think ratepayers are a 

bottomless pit of money? 

It would certainly seem so 

with the latest move to now pay 

childcare costs. Interesting that 

they didn’t put this out for public 

consultation like they do with 

other significant public spending. 

Trying to keep it secret were 

they? 

In the real world there are hundreds 

of families in the district 

who everyday face the prospect 

of paying their own childcare 

costs while working in a full time 

job. The councillors should be 

facing the same reality. 

No, instead they decide they 

want to treated differently 

because if we don’t pay it then 

young people won’t be councillors. 

I don’t believe that for a 

minute, where is the evidence to 

say this is the case. 

This is a just another opportunity 

for a councillor to milk the 

ratepayer for more money and 

line their own pockets. 

Every job takes sacrifice, ask 

those parents with a full time job 

who have children. 

Don’t give us pathetic excuses 

because when they stood for 

the role of councillor they knew 

exactly what the hours would 

be, what the pay was and the 

impact it would have on their 

family. 

Sorry, but it is time 

for the councillors to 

step into the real world 

where if there is not 

enough money you 

budget and find ways 

to make it work. 

You can’t just go to 

your employer, the 

ratepayer, and say you have to 

pay my costs and you better pay 

another six per cent rates because 

we can’t run the council business 

prudently. 

Grant Prescott – I am 

absolutely disgusted at it. Here 

we have a mayor who applied 

for a job knowing full well no 

company vehicle was supplied 

and then once in power (has) a 

company car paid for 

by ratepayers, in spite 

of his $127,000 salary. 

Most people have 

to buy their own vehicles. 

Now he pushes 

through another 

ratepayer-funded 

scheme of childcare 

for councillors. 

Not one of us in other employment 

can claim our child care 

back as such the mayor and his 

councillors should not especially 

when ratepayers are paying for it. 

They took the role on knowing 

the conditions and if they 

do not like it they should leave. 

I sincerely hope in the October 

elections we do vote on our feet 

and remove the current mayor 

and some of his councillors. 

Carole Hadler – I shouldn’t 

have thought they would do the 

job if they didn’t choose to do so. 

It is supposed to be a vocation 

and, once upon a time, it was. 

Now they can’t even budget 

for themselves and clearly not 

for or with ratepayers’ money. 

There is a rising tide throughout 

the country against the sort of 

behaviour we are seeing among 

councillors who think they are 

entitled. 

John Shaw – It is 

unbelievable that Mr Broughton 

and his colleagues have voted 

in favour of lining their pockets 

with hard earned ratepayers’ 

money. 

I’m sorry, but what makes 

them any different from any 

of us that has had to do the 

hard yards to make childcare 

payments for our families. 

What has happened to the 

councillors who did the job for 

the good of the community. 

Let’s hope there is a massive 

backlash from the public and 

they are forced to back down.

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

Work to start 

on Leeston 

to Doyleston 

pathway today 


CONSTRUCTION is due to 

start today on a pathway from 

Leeston to Doyleston. 

The work will begin at 

Leeston. Then at the Doyleston 

end, a large box culvert will 

span across the main drain on 

Leeston Rd. 

The central section of the 

pathway is being planned and 

construction is expected to 

begin next year. 

District council asset delivery 

manager Andrew Mazey said 

the project is important to the 

communities. 

“It will allow children to have a 

safe walking and cycling facility 

to and from local schools. It also 

provides a more sustainable and 

healthy transport link between 

the townships that doesn’t rely 

on the use of private motor 

vehicles.” 

Mr Mazey said the district 

council wants to capitalise on 

New Zealand Transport Agency 

funding. “We also wanted to 

provide some key walking and 

cycling improvements in these 

townships as soon as possible.” 


MORE THAN $363,000 will be 

spent on toilets in Springston 

and freedom camping facilities at 

Coes Ford and Lakeside Domain. 

The district council has 

received $363,400 from 

the Government’s tourism 

infrastructure fund for the 

projects. 

About $286,050 will be used 

to upgrade the capacity and 

enhance freedom camping at

At Coes Ford, the money

Forced into eyes on 

I GUESS parenting isn’t 

something that actually gets 

easier. 

There has been a recent 

change in the nature of my 

parenting experience. 

My little girl hit the 

18-month mark last week 

and it’s like she’s so much 

older all of a sudden. 

There’s more word-like 

sounds, she copies what 

you do and say more (got to 

watch that road rage swearing) 

and obviously 

recognises words 

for certain things. 

I’ve got a painting 

in the hall of 

a medieval village 

scene and Vittoria 

can point out the 

dog if asked. 

That’s pretty cool. 

It involves form 

recognition, word 

recognition and 

the recognition of 

what’s being asked 

of her. 

But pointing out 

dogs doesn’t fundamentally 

change my day-to-day. 

What does is the fact that 

Vittoria has finally cracked 

the ability to climb onto the 

couch. Therefore anything 

else of a similar height. 

That’s fine if I’m nearby 

but it severely limits my 

opportunities to leave her 

out of sight for any length 

of time. 

So there goes a relaxing 

morning 

shower while 

Vittoria innocently 

enjoys 

Pingu. Who 

knows what 

mischief she 

could be getting 

up to? 

I suppose 

you’d probably 

think it 

would stop 

me from 

being able 

to duck off 

to the loo as well, but then 

you wouldn’t have a toddler 

then would you? They can’t 

stay away from an occupied 

loo. 

As much as I’m lamenting 

simpler times at home, 

VITTORIA 

& Matt 

I’m also paradoxically super 

proud of her. 

There’s been a couple of 

“how did you get there” 

moments over the last 

week, but one sticks out in 

particular. 

Vittoria’s highchair sits in 

the kitchen, mostly unused. 

Climbing it seems like a 

dangerous activity and it 

scares the willies out of me 

when she tries. 

She was in the kitchen 

with me the other day, helping 

me prepare some food 

for her. I turned away from 

her for mere seconds while 

I washed up and in that 

time she had climbed up 

the chair and was happily 

sitting in it. 

Terrifying. 

Eyes on mate, eyes on.

Darfield look to end Coleman Shield drought 

• By Gordon Findlater and 

Jacob Page 

DARFIELD WILL have a chance 

to end a 113-year wait for the 

Coleman Shield after a converted 

try with the final play of the 

game saw them break Springston 

hearts 22-21 on Saturday. 

Scott McIlroy scored his third 

try of the game after a line-out 

and with Sean Carston landing 

the conversion from a handy 

range in tough underfoot conditions, 

Darfield booked their 

spot against Southbridge in the 

decider in spite of trailing 21-3 at 

one stage. 

They will meet Southbridge 

in this weekend’s final after 

cruising past Lincoln 33-14 with 

200-game midfielder Peni Manumanuniliwa 

scoring twice. 

Darfield president McIlroy 

scored all three of his side’s 

comeback. He had hoped to sign 

off in style when Darfield played 

Southbridge in the 2017 final. 

However, Darfield were denied 

their first Ellesmere title and 

McIlroy concentrated on his new 

role as president while playing 

for the club’s division three side. 

This year he’s been back to his 

best and is averaging nearly a try 

a game for the premier side. A 

key part to his return has been 

strengthening the knee which 

saw him first hang up the boots. 

“I spent lots of time on the bike 

in the off-season and have done a 

lot of work strengthening it which 

SLUSH: Both Darfield and Springston battled with the 

conditions at Springston Domain on Saturday. 

means I’ve been able to play 80 

minutes of rugby for the first time 

in a while,” said McIlroy. 

The deciding moment of the 

game came when Darfield won 

a line-out and worked their way 

towards the Springston line 

with time expired. McIlroy was 

handed the ball off a breakdown 

and powered over the line under 

the posts by his teammates, including 

his twin brother Blair. 

The winning conversion was 

made by Sean Carston who has 

spent most of the year playing in 

the colts grade. 

Darfield co-coach Kris Rodgers 

said it was a great show of 

tenacity from his team. 

“It was jubilation, it wasn’t 

relief. We were dominant in that 

second half, we had a try disallowed 

and one knocked-on over 

the line so it was a good feeling,” 

said Rodgers. 

“We were playing all the footy, 

just the points weren’t coming. 

That was a clutch final line-out 

for us.” 

He said his team would be 

keen to reverse the 27-12 defeat 

they suffered at home when the 

two teams met last month. 

“That was a bit of a towel-up 

but we have the chance to return 

the favour,” he said. 

It will be Darfield’s third 

straight final, having lost 

to Southbridge in 2017 and 

Waihora last year.

Greenpark A cement their 

spot as title favourites 

• By Jacob Page 

DEFENDING champions 

Greenpark A have reinforced 

their position as Selwyn 

premier netball title favourites 

by beating Broadfield A 60-52 

at the Lincoln Event Centre on 

Saturday. 

Greenpark A showed 

composure when it mattered 

most in the rematch of last year’s 

grand-final, turning a one goal 

disadvantage at the end of the 

third quarter into an eight goal 

win. 

In Saturday’s other matches, 

Lincoln A continued their 

resurgence, beating West Melton 

74-37 to become genuine semifinal 

contenders. Greenpark 

B also proved too strong for 

Southbridge A, winning 48-41. 

“I was really impressed how 

every time we went down, we 

came back . . . we had three 

girls sick but kept fighting,” said 

Greenpark A player/coach Zaylie 

Sullivan. 

“Our combinations grew the 

best they had all season. It was 

the best they went all season. 

After we got in front by three or 

four goals, it felt like we got a lot 

of confidence from that.” 

Lincoln A coach Dawn Dalley 

was satisfied with her team’s win 

over West Melton. 

“The scoreline looked better 

than the actual game. We had 

a slow start but a very strong 

second half, but we were a bit 

rusty to start off with,” said 

Dalley. 

“We only have eight players in 

the team, so we are lacking in 

options in some respect.” 

Dalley said she remains 

hopeful her team will eventually 

produce a four quarter 

performance. 

“We have the combinations, 

it’s just a case of working on 

fitness.” 

The result means West Melton 

will most likely be relegated for 

the third and deciding round, 

which begins in a fortnight. 

Greenpark B player/coach 

Mechelle Barltrop said the team 

were delighted to reverse their 

round one loss to Southbridge 

A. 

“I think that gives us a lot of 

confidence heading into the next 

round for sure just knowing 

that we’ve beaten them,” said 

Barltrop. 

She said a rusty start after two 

weeks off also didn’t help the 

team initially. 

In the final matches 

this weekend before the 

championship round, Greenpark 

A will face Greenpark B, 

Southbridge will battle Lincoln 

A and Broadfield A will look 

to bounce back against West 

Melton A. 

Results: Greenpark A 60, 

Broadfield A 52; Lincoln A 74, 

West Melton 37; Greenpark 

B 48, Southbridge A 41. 

Points table: Greenpark 

A 16, 1; Greenpark B 12, 2; 

Lincoln A 9, 3; Broadfield

baseball 

pitcher 

shines 

for national 

side in Japan 

• By Jacob Page 

SELWYN BRAVES baseball 

pitcher Jacob Davidson has 

shown what he can do on 

the international stage while 

representing New Zealand. 

The 16-year-old was part of 

the Wellington/New Zealand 

under-16 team which attended 

the International Pony League 

Qualifiers in Miyazaki, Japan, 

recently. 

The former New Zealand 

under-15 representative, who 

is currently in the Junior Black 

Sox squad, was one of four non- 

Wellington players selected for 

the trip to Japan. 

The team’s campaign was cut 

down to four games due to a 

typhoon. 

They played two games 

against Hong Kong, one against 

Japan, and one against India. 

Jacob pitched five scoreless 

innings in the first game of the 

tournament against Hong Kong 

to lead his team to victory. 

“Conditions were hot, but 

the ball came out smooth and 

threw lots of strikes,” he said. 

He struck out three and gave 

up just two hits. 

He was playing with a pitch 

count of 66. 

The team also beat India and 

Hong Kong again but lost to 

Japan. 

“The players were more slick 

with their teamwork and they 

were better hitters,” Jacob said. 

“I tried to get ahead with 

a first pitch and then use my 

good infield and outfield that 

can back me up and get the 

outs for me. 

“I’m trying to work on 

locating my pitches and being 

less erratic. 

Jacob also got to bat in the 

second game against Hong 

Kong and hit an inside-thepark 

home run.

“Their passion, hard work and

Boh is a pupil at Kirwee Model

Both girls are taught highland 

dancing at St Andrew’s College. 

The competition was held in

Attractive beetle can also fly 

Mike Bowie is 

an ecologist 

who specialises 

in entomology 

(insects

Each week he introduces a new

ONE OF THE more attractive 

beetles in your garden is the 

New Zealand flower longhorn 

beetle (Zorion guttigerum). 

THe endemic blue beetle, 

which can fly, is 8mm long 

with two distinctive orange 

dots on its abdomen. Adults 

are diurnally active between 

October and March. 

Two activity peaks occur, 

one at noon and the other in 

late afternoon. They feed on 

the pollen and nectar of many 

flowering species but 

SELWYN TIMES 

can be particularly abundant 

on Umbelliferae, such as 

parsley. 

THis species of beetle seem to 

be attracted together by floral 

resources rather than long range 

sex pheromones. 

Males fight by lashing with 

their antennae. Mating also 

occurs around the flowers and 

contains lengthy periods of pair 

bonding. 

Larvae are found under bark 

or in dead twigs including 

hedge prunings.

Darfield High School 

Community News—Term 2, 2019 Review 

DHS ShowQuest Success 

ShowQuest is a performing arts platform giving 

schools the opportunity to address real life topics/ 

issues through dance, music and props displaying 

an overall message, storyline and/or theme, in 12 

minutes. 

Page 1 


OPEN EVENING 

This year, Darfield chose the theme of Sexual Assault 

and lack of consent, with the story of how the victim 

can often feel isolated and as if they have little or 

no support if society is constantly questioning that 

specific individual, making it seem as if it were their 

own fault. 

The main message of our performance was that “It 

Only Takes One”, showing the audience that you can 

be that one person who helps to make a change in 

someone’s life, no matter what the situation is. 

This year, Darfield took home 2nd Place along with 

awards for Theme and Soundtrack; our lead dancer, 

Alex McGregor, also won the Outstanding Rangitahi 

Performance award for the best performer of the 

whole night! Congratulations to all involved.

Mid-Winter Party 

On Friday 28 June, we held our annual International Mid Winter Party. It was 

great to get together and celebrate surviving Term 2 and spend time together, 

especially with some of the students who are finishing Darfield High School at 

the end of the term. 

As well as our International students, we also had the French exchange 

students, and about 25 Kiwi friends and host brothers and sisters. Everyone 

enjoyed the pizza and ice cream, before it was time to turn down the lights 

and dance the night away. 

Year 12 Market Day 

SELWYN TIMES 

Page 2 

The Year 12 Commerce class put all of their planning, organising and creating 

together for Market Day, during Term 2. 

In groups, they decide what product they want to create, while integrating a 

community focus. Then, for the following four to six weeks, they craft their business 

plan based around their product by selecting personally suited management roles 

and evenly contributing to the business plan based on their strengths. Weekly 

meetings are held to ensure they are on track to meet their time goals. 

About one week before Market Day, after finishing the business plan, it is time 

to create their product. Market Day products included Beeswax Wraps, Bottle 

Poppers, Succulents in Jars and Decorated Mugs. 

Cultural Diversity Day 

This year we celebrated Cultural Diversity Day with international and domestic 

students representing Thailand, Austria, Japan, France, Germany, Spain, The 

Netherlands and China. 

Each table had an interactive activity for visitors to have a go at, including 

general knowledge quizzes, language-based challenges, and practical activities. 

It was great to see the visiting domestic students eagerly engaging in the 

activities, and lots of smiles all round. 

Careers Expo 

The annual Careers Expo had 23 representatives participating, this year, from 

local Universities Lincoln and Canterbury, to institutes like the Aviation Institute, the 

Defence Force, Camp America and the Sport Institute. 

This is a great opportunity for students to find out more about what is required 

academically and gives them an opportunity to speak to the representatives from a 

variety of organisations. 

NZ Defence Force Tasks 

A group of Year 10 students spent a session with the New Zealand Defence Force. 

They were placed into groups and a leader for each group was identified. They then 

had to complete a task that was set by the NZDF. 

The exercises are based around gaining confidence in one's ability to lead a group. 

The exercises are mental problems, and NZDF coach the leader through how to deal 

with the changing group dynamics as the exercise unfolds. Then, once the round is 

over, the individual groups are given a chance to give constructive feedback to the 

leader: something they thought went well, and something to improve upon. 






Cross Country Success 

Page 3 

Outdoor Education 

The Year 12 Outdoor Education Tramp 

to Tarn Col prove to be a massive and 

demanding journey for the students, 

that tested them all at stages along 

the way. Tramping a huge 10-hour day 

tested them all but also brought them 

together as teamwork, support and 

encouragement were essential to make 

it possible to conquer the massive 

challenge that awaited them. 

It will be a shared adventure that won’t 

be forgotten as, with such challenge, 

comes massive growth. 

Following their success at the Canterbury Secondary Championships, Nathan 

Carter and Isla McPherson travelled to Timaru to compete in this year’s New 

Zealand Secondary Schools Cross Country Championships 

Isla competed against over 89 Year 9 girls, finishing in 26th place. Nathan 

competed in the two kilometre AWD race and won! This was a fabulous result 

following his success at a previous NZ cross country event and last year’s road 

race at the New Zealand Athletic Championships. 

Emerging Leaders 

This year’s Emerging Leaders Conference was held at Christ's College. It is an 

opportunity for Year 12 students to broaden their knowledge of what a good leader 

is and how to act like one. An inspiring and thought provoking day for the future 

leaders of Darfield High School. 

Yubetsu Scholarship 

Our three Yubetsu scholarship students have recently returned home, with their 

Japanese buddies. They travelled to Tokyo, Japan on 26 May. Hayden de Burger, 

Niamh Guy and Max Whyte have been based in Yubetsu, with their host families. 

They have been attending school, making new friends and adjusting to the new 

culture. Welcome home.

This term saw the production of the classic musical GREASE! 

What an exciting experience to see Grease come to life. I am 

so honoured to be working with such an incredible team of 

teachers and students. I would like to take this opportunity to 

thank you all for your devotion to making this show happen. 

You should all be incredibly proud of your achievement. 

The crew have done an outstanding job in rehearsing and 

bringing these characters to life. I couldn’t have asked for 

a better cast, with outstanding voices and wonderful stage 

presence. Every aspect, from props to costumes and makeup, 

to sound and lighting, has been done with such care and 

professionalism. Thank you for putting so much of yourselves 

into the show.

Morehu Solomon - Director/HOD Drama 

Year 10 students had to design a product for a client. 

There were a great variety of ideas within the class, 

from phone stands to decorative pieces. Students 

tested and trialled ideas to work out how they could 

assemble pieces for strength and aesthetic qualities. 

Vaughan Smart used metal and wood to create this 

permanent flower display. It was interesting hearing 

the discussions about designs and watching ideas 

take shape. 

Year 10 Designs 

Year 10 students were able to choose their own 

context for their spatial design. This tourist cabin, 

designed by Annabelle Serra, is a fabulous 

example of modelling in design using CAD and 

solid structures, and a wonderful combination of 

choosing the right tool for the right job.

“We are grateful for the generosity of local 

businesses and the Friends of the MCAC whose 

support for Artweek allows us to make significant 

awards to talented artists. The $2000 Premier 

Award, which will be announced at the opening

SELWYN TIMES 

Still Spinning 

at 92 

New park and ride facilities for 

Selwyn residents 

Two new park and ride facilities have opened in Rolleston, providing 

increased access to public transport for the community. 

The parks are at Foster Park where people can connect to the 

85 service, while the newly-constructed car park adjacent to the 

Council offices is for connections to the 85, Yellow Line and 820 

services. Parking is free for those connecting to a bus service. 

The Council park and ride facility, which was completed last month, 

has 79 parking spaces for park and ride users, along with six cycle 

racks, while the facility at Foster Park has space for over 50 cars. 

Selwyn Mayor Sam Broughton says it’s been good to see so many 

people using the park and rides from day one. 

“This Council project captures our communities’ vision to 

ease congestion and provide more environmentally friendly 

transport options.” 

Entrance to the Foster Park park and ride is from Broadlands Drive, 

and the Council park and ride is accessed from Norman Kirk Drive. 

Bus stops to board the bus are found on street next to these facilities. 

To celebrate turning 92, Len Cotton decided to go for a spin. 

Mr Cotton is one of the most enthusiastic members of the Rolleston Community Centre spin 

classes—which he attends three times a week. 

With Wednesday’s class falling on Mr Cotton’s birthday the class members decided to mark the day. 

Mr Cotton also attends Mature and Motivated, a Council-run low impact, fun exercise class for 

people over 50 and still sometimes attends, though spin has become his main focus, Group 

fitness instructor Kim Roberts says. 

A keen cyclist, he was encouraged to join the classes about six months ago after a conversation 

with one of their members at a café, Ms Roberts says. 

“For 92 he’s pretty fit. He shows up some of the younger ones sometimes too. If he’s not cycling 

indoors he can be seen sometimes cycling outdoors.” 

There are more benefits to the classes than just staying fit, he says. “I’ve met lots of new people and 

they’re very social and we all go for a coffee afterwards. It’s where you go to make new friends.” 

He’s also a fan of the music played during the class and sometimes can be seen at warm down 

with the instructor’s microphone singing along. 

The class often celebrate birthdays, but Ms Roberts says they were keen to do something a bit 

different for their inspiring oldest member. 

“We’re all mother hens to him. He’s amazing. He’s an inspiration for all of us that age is no 

restriction. We just wanted to make it extra special for him.” 

Council spin classes are available at Rolleston Community Centre and Lincoln Event Centre with a 

range of morning, mid-morning and evening times. For more details visit selwyn.govt.nz/events or 

pick up a term three activity programme from your local Council facility. 

Mayor supports joint initiative to improve water 

Mayor Sam Broughton and other Canterbury mayors have reconfirmed their support for working 

together to look after the region’s water resources. 

In a refresh of the Canterbury Water Management Strategy (CWMS), members of the Canterbury 

Mayoral Forum adopted new goals to improve and manage water in Canterbury and charged 

Environment Canterbury to work with Councils and partners to find solutions for those goals. 

The CWMS was first adopted in 2009. The refreshed strategy adds 131 goals for 2025 and 2030, along 

with an extensive plan of proposed actions, prioritising the results the community has asked for and 

taking into account emerging issues such as climate change. 

Under the CWMS, 10 local zone committees with council, community and rūnunga members provide 

recommendations to Environment Canterbury that can result in local plan changes. 

The Selwyn Waihora zone committee has been a driving force behind several key projects, Mayor 

Broughton says. 

“The whole province working together is helping us to make a significant difference in improving water 

systems and protecting them for the future. 

“Our zone committee is working closely with Environment Canterbury on the ‘Swimmable Selwyn at Coes 

Ford project’, and the Whakaroa Te Ahuriri project to create a wetland that will reduce the nutrients and 

sediment going in Te Waihora/Lake Ellesmere and improve biodiversity and mahinga kai values.” 

The committee has completed the Haldon Pastures mudfish protection policy, clearing willow and 

weeds, providing new plantings and a solar powered barrier and water delivery system to protect the 

habitat from drought and predators. 

The $2.5 million Selwyn Near River Recharge project is under way and aims to keep the lower Hororata, 

Selwyn/Waikirikiri and Irwell rivers from running dry; support mahinga kai and biodiversity and improve 

downstream water quality. 

Nomination for local elections 

now open 

Nominations for the 2019 local elections are open and anyone 

thinking of standing is encouraged to get their nomination in early. 

In Selwyn, elections will be held for the mayor, 11 councillors, 

and five members of the Malvern Community Board, along with 

representatives for the Mid Canterbury Constituency of the 

Canterbury Regional Council (Environment Canterbury) and for 

board members of the Canterbury District Health Board. 

Nominations are open until 12 noon on Friday 16 August. Council 

deputy electoral officer Stephen Hill says potential candidates 

should complete their nominations as early as possible. 

“Getting nomination forms in early means we have plenty of time 

to check that everything is in order and all the documentation is 

completed in time,” he says. 

Any New Zealand citizen over the age of 18 and on the electoral roll 

can stand for election. Nomination forms must be signed by two 

people who are enrolled as electors in the ward or subdivision the 

person is nominated for. 

Nomination forms, and a downloadable copy of the candidate 

handbook, are available at selwyn.govt.nz/elections or from Council 

offices and service centres.

New technology 

increases burn time 

Blaze King fires are exclusive to 

HeatStore in Christchurch and are a real 

success story with a thermostat which 

enables the fire to produce controlled, 

even heat all day and night long. 

“These fires provide a burn of 12 or 

more hours without reloading by using 

a clean air technology that burns both 

the wood and the smoke by raising the 

temperature of the smoke to burning 

point,” says Heatstore Commercial 

Manager David Chalklen. The catalytic 

technology has not been available in New 

Zealand before. 

The Blaze King models burn 

approximately 30 per cent less wood 

than a conventional fire, will burn 24/7 if 

necessary and are classified as ultra-low 

emission burning. 

HeatStore is now introducing new 

models specially designed for smaller 

homes and word of mouth means they 

are selling quickly. 

Apart from Blaze King, HeatStore 

stocks the “best of the best” log and pellet 

fire options available in New Zealand 

from Masport, Nectre, Pyroclassic and 

Bionic log fires along with Ravelli and 

Enviro wood pellet fires that are quiet and 

WiFi compatible 

HeatStore in Blenheim Road is well 

known for its personalised, customer 

friendly and professional service 

providing customers with a huge range of 

options to suit their lifestyle and home. 

To ensure fires are positioned correctly 

and of the right type for residents’ 

needs, HeatStore provides detailed 

onsite consultations and full installation 

services. 

“If you’re after a new fire we’ll assist you 

with selecting the model best suited to 

your home, our own installers will fit it 

and ensure that you receive full after sales 

support and service,” says David. 

HeatStore has an excellent selection of 

fires, including demonstration models, 

on display at their showroom at 472 

Blenheim Road which is open Mondays 

to Fridays from 8:30am to 5pm and on 

Saturdays from 10am to 1pm. Their

Winter, a good 

time to install and 

maintain irrigation 

Winter is a good time to install new systems 

and maintain existing systems so they are 

perfectly up and running for spring and the 

warmer weather, says Phil Hudson from 

locally owned company Freeman Irrigation. 

Having an irrigation system helps save 

time, money and water, says Phil, as automatic 

systems reduce the amount of water being 

used by irrigating at the correct time of day, 

minimising evaporation. 

The latest technology with automated WiFi 

means that your sprinklers can be connected 

to weather station forecasts so if rain is 

expected the amount of water is reduced. 

Being able to operate your system remotely 

also means you can adjust the flow at any 

time to suit the conditions, saving water and 

money and a built-in water system not only 

adds value to your property but they also 

work while you are way on holiday. 

“We have a range of smartphone controllers 

and rain sensors that can be fitted to most 

systems, allowing to have easy control from 

anywhere. If you want to save money and 

conserve water a good rain sensor is an 

affordable solution,” says Phil. 

Winter is a great time for maintenance 

on your irrigation systems to prevent the 

inconvenience and additional costs of having 

landscaping repaired if problems are not 

discovered until summer and need repairing. 

“Some irrigation system problems are 

easily fixed but they have to be identified to 

be fixed.” The most important part of keeping 

an irrigation system is good working order 

is having regular maintenance on the sprays, 

rotors and solenoid valves. 

Common problems include Some of the 

basic problems include clogged sprinklers; 

leaking sprinklers and valves; obstructed 

sprinklers; leaking/blocked solenoid valves; 

overspray onto footpaths, streets or buildings; 

design problems; missing nozzles or pipe 

leaks and breaks. 

Freeman Irrigation has a range of irrigation 

services, not just for residential homes but 

also parks, golf courses, horticultural and 

viticultural properties, sub-divisions and 

commercial properties.

Top design trends 

Established in 1987, Southern 

Woods has been growing millions of 

quality plants for over a generation. 

Talk to our knowledgeable team 

about fruit trees for your next 

project. 

Design trends come and go with each year and 

incorporating just one of these looks can simply 

refresh your home, whether it is updating your 

lighting, wallpaper or colour. 

Natural with nature 

Natural materials such as granite, stone, 

copper, concrete, brass and granite will help add 

serenity to your home. 

Accents from copper, with its orange and 

red hues, along with other metals and finishes 

bring a fresh approach to design, taking over 

from the rose gold, chrome, and polished nickel 

of previous years. Brass is a warm and subtle 

alternative for 2019 adding an everyday sense of 

elegance to even the simplest spaces. 

These elements will help bring an organic and 

serene ambiance to any 

space while reflecting 

the world around your 

home. 

Concrete is no 

longer just for 

construction and can 

provide a clean crisp 

look, and not only just 

for counter tops in the 

kitchen. Geometric 

concrete tiles will

Fruit Trees now. 

Over 100x varieties 

available this winter 

become increasingly 

popular and pair two 

of next year’s hottest 

design trends into one 

stylish piece. 

Colours count 

There are several 

colour trends 

happening for 2019 

including tonal red, 

lilac, burnt yellow and 

black and white. 

Black and white is a 

timeless design trend 

providing a visual 

contrast in furnishings 

throughout the home. 

In the kitchen, black 

and white is fresh and 

simple. Black kitchen 

cabinets show less wear 

and tear than white and black is also an edgy 

addition in range hoods and island accents. 

Splash backs are also making a comeback 

at full-height. Stretch from the counter to the 

ceiling - behind floating shelves and range hoods 

- for a clean and cohesive look. This dramatic 

statement can create the illusion of additional 

surface area. 

Purple or grey-lilac shades are replacing the 

popular Millennial pink. And with this mauve 

takeover, a move toward orange-based pinks 

(such as peach, apricot and coral) will begin to 

pick up. 

Warm tones are also on-trend such as red to 

provide warmth, comfort and energy to any 

interior. Although muted colours can help avoid 

making spaces feel overwhelming and visually 

heavy, bolder colours are preferred. Richer

hues throughout your home can make 

muted and natural-hued furnishings and 

decorative elements stand out. Lookout 

for dramatic reds, statement pinks, bold 

yellows, and lush greens. 

exaggerated proportions, playful scales, 

and contrasting colours to make this 

timeless decor pattern feel refreshed. 

Similar to floral patterns and brass 

decor, incorporating geometric patterns 

is nothing new but are now present with 

bold colours and oversized patterns 

making a bold statement. 

Geometric throws on the bed can be an 

easy way to incorporate this trend. 

Texture with velvet 

Velvet used to be old-fashioned but 

provides a sense of luxury and comfort 

particularly in some beautifully designed 

sofas in warm jewel tones. 

Variety of patterns 

Florals, geometric designs and 

coloured patterns are in for 2019. Florals 

have always been popular but have 

come into play with more modern and 

fresh designs. Decorators expect to find 

Matte finishes 

Matte finishes can give furnishings 

and bright colours a more relaxed but 

futuristic appeal. A bright yellow or 

periwinkle colour would be loud if it was 

high gloss but in matte looks ultra-cool. 

Also on the cool list are matte finished 

furnishings with 

unusual or different 

hues and silhouettes 

or in a classic styling. 

Vintage and artisan looks 

Other trends include vintage in 

lighting with pendants and sconces 

and, the kitchen, bucket or trough sinks 

inspired by the farm house. 

Artisan fixtures made locally with a 

hand-crafted feel will help to personalise 

your home, and like natural elements, 

they will help create a comforting and 

inviting feel. 

With past design trends coming back 

in style this year, such as velvet and 

geometric patterns, there are many 

references to 1970s chic decor with warm 

palettes, funky textures, and abstract 

silhouettes. Incorporating this trend 

into your home will bring out amazing 

personality into every room.

SELWYN TIMES 

Perfect time 

for creating your 

dream pool 

Summer is almost within sight as the 

year passes by so quickly. The arrival of 

summer brings thoughts of having that 

outdoor swimming pool that you have 

always wanted and the fun your children 

will have splashing about in your own 

back yard. 

“Now is an ideal time to organise the 

install of your pool and gives plenty of time 

for finishing work and landscaping ready 

for the summer days. If you’re wanting 

your pool completed for Christmas Day 

it’s best to get things in the system now 

,” says Julie Hastings who owns Lagoon 

Pools with husband Warren. 

Lagoon Pools installs pools in sizes 

to suit both large and small sections, 

ranging from five metres to 12 metres in 

length with a variety of widths, colours 

and shapes. There really is a pool for 

every site. 

Lagoon Pools is the Leisure Pools 

dealer for most of the South Island 

featuring 100% composite fibreglass 

and, with patented innovations, every 

swimming pool is supported by their 

lifetime structural warranty and a lifetime 

osmosis warranty – this makes them the 

strongest pool available on the market. 

Julie and Warren have recently returned 

from the Leisure Pools conference so have 

some new pools and colour options that 

can also be viewed at the Leisure Pools 

website at www.leisurepools.co.nz. Pool 

automation is also becoming more 

popular with equipment monitoring 

and settings right at your fingertips from 

any location. 

Additional features including pool 

lighting, fountains and spa jets can 

enhance the pool area transforming it into 

an extended living space where family 

and friends can relax in the outdoors, 

Julie says. 

It takes around five days to install a 

pool and the finishing touches can take 

from four to eight weeks depending 

upon the design. Not only does Lagoon 

Pools install the pool, they can offer the 

complete package including paving, 

decking, landscaping, fencing etc. 

“It is always very satisfying to see 

a project through from concept to 

installation, turning a vision into reality 

for our many customers.”

incentives by phoning Julie or Warren

Gardening 

Many ways to grow strawberries 

EDIBLE GARDENS have never 

been more popular and one of 

the easiest of fruits to cultivate is 

the strawberry. 

Because of their compact habit, 

strawberries can be grown in 

hanging baskets, containers or 

the aptly-named strawberry pots, 

as well as the usual raised-up 

garden beds. 

They can begin cropping in a 

matter of weeks and will go on 

producing for much of the year, 

especially in warmer areas. 

•Strawberries in the 

garden – Choose a sunny position 

that hasn’t grown strawberries 

for a number of years and 

dig in some organic compost. 

Plant strawberry runners 

or seedlings into raised-up 

mounds, and apply a layer of 

mulch. It important it is to 

mulch the plants, both 

to retain moisture and to keep 

the fruit cleanly above the soil. 

Pea straw or lucerne hay make a 

good a mulch. 

Remove runners, unless you 

want to use them to propagate 

some new plants (which should 

be done every three years or so). 

•Strawberries in pots – 

Start by choosing a suitable 

PRACTICAL: Growing strawberries in pots is decorative and functional. Watch out for snails. 

container. Fill with a top quality 

potting mix and plant the strawberries. 

Water in well. Feed 

occasionally with plant food and 

watch out for snails and slugs. 

•Strawberries in hanging 

baskets – This is a fun way 

to grow strawberries, but the 

main challenge with growing 

any plant in a hanging basket is 

that it’s much more vulnerable to 

drying out. 

Line moss baskets with plastic 

sheet and poke holes for drainage. 

Fill with a hanging basket 

mix which contains added 

soil wetters and water-storing 

crystals. 

Ripe berries look particularly 

decorative dangling from a 

basket. 

Save money 

on food 

GROWING YOUR own can 

save a considerable amount 

on food costs and will also 

give you a wider choice of vegetables. 

Unusual vegetables are often 

difficult to buy in shops, but are 

easily grown in the home garden. 

When to grow veges 

Vegetables can be loosely 

grouped according to their growing 

season. 

Cool season vegetables: Grow 

best when temperatures are 

between 10-20 deg C or even 

lower. They include broad beans, 

broccoli, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, 

onions, peas, spinach and 

turnips. 

Intermediate season vegetables: 

These are best between temperatures 

of 15-25 deg C. They 

include beetroot, carrot, parsnip, 

celery, leek, lettuce, radish and 

silver beet. 

Warm season vegetables: Are 

grown best when temperatures 

are above 20 deg C. They include 

beans, capsicum, eggplant, 

potato, sweet corn, sweet potato, 

tomato and cucurbits (including 

cucumbers, zucchini and pumpkins).

Snuggle down 

When it comes to home heating, ‘bang 

for your buck’ is essential and part of 

this is ensuring your home is adequately 

insulated. Did you know that a 2% gap in 

insulation can result in a 20% heat loss? 

This can make a huge difference to the 

comfort of your home. 

Insulation works by slowing heat loss 

from your home, enclosing it in a thermal 

envelope. This is why around 40% of heat 

is lost through the ceiling in the average 

uninsulated home. 

In addition to insulation, simple 

measures, such as using thermal curtains 

and sealing gaps and cracks, will 

eliminate draughts and prevent warm air 

escaping where it shouldn’t. It also pays 

to remember that heating a room to a 

moderate constant temperature is much 

more efficient than a fluctuating heat. 

Designed to not only be practical and 

functional but to enhance the décor 

of your home, there is a home-heating 

option for every home, and everyone. 

GAS FIRES 

Providing fast, convenient and easily 

regulated heat, gas can bring a moderatesize 

room to a warm, comfortable 

temperature in about 10-15 minutes. 

Glass-fronted gas fireplaces are 

significantly more efficient than openfronted 

ones, and as gas fires are cleaner 

than wood-burning fires they are favoured 

in clean-air areas, making this a popular 

heating option in Christchurch. 

Like other heating options, most 

modern gas fires have a timer facility. 

HEAT PUMPS 

Heat pumps come in a variety of options: 

high-wall, floor consoles, slimline, quiet ... 

the list goes on, ensuring there is a design, 

size and placement to suit your needs. 

Be smart about your energy use and 

ensure you have the right size heat pump 

for your space. If you pick one that is 

too small, it will have to work hard all 

the time, and will use more power than 

necessary. A unit that is the right size 

should heat your space in 5-15 minutes. 

DUCTED AIR CONDITIONING 

Ducted air conditioning systems work 

exactly the same way as a high-wall heat 

pump, in that there is an indoor unit 

and an outdoor unit, and by passing a 

refrigerant between them they transfer 

heat (or cooling) into a room. 

Unlike the high-wall system, where the 

indoor unit is visible, the ducted indoor 

unit is hidden away in the ceiling space 

and uses flexible ducts to pass the heat 

from room to room through vents in the 

ceiling, wall or floor. 

CENTRAL HEATING 

Growing in popularity in New Zealand, 

warm-water central heating is the even 

distribution of heat throughout the home 

from a central point or heat source. Warm 

water is distributed via a network of pipes 

connected to radiators in each room, or 

looped under the floor for underfloor 

heating. Releasing a gentle heat, no water 

is actually consumed, ensuring this is the 

ultimate in efficiency. 

HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEM 

Home heating isn’t just about keeping the 

house warm; it’s also about maintaining 

a healthy home. In the summer months 

we are able to throw open the windows to 

air the house, an option not available in 

cooler weather, meaning condensation is 

often an unhealthy side effect of winter. 

The installation of an effective heatrecovery 

or ventilation system can help 

solve this problem, thereby working 

towards creating a warmer, drier and, 

above all, healthier living environment. 

WOOD BURNERS 

When used properly, wood burners are a 

great and economical option, especially if 

you have access to free or cheap firewood. 

You do, however, need to ensure your 

fire is clean-air approved, especially in 

Canterbury. When buying a wood fire, 

consider efficiency rating, clean burn, 

emission levels and size. 

PELLET BURNERS 

Pellet fires have come a long way in recent 

years and most are now available as 

free-standing or inbuilt, offering a wider 

variety when it comes to selecting the 

right look for your space. 

There are many benefits to a pellet 

burner as they offer all the warmth and 

luxury of a flame without the hassle of 

cutting, carrying and storing firewood. 

Made from sawmill waste, the pellets are 

carbon-neutral and burn cleanly. 

One of the biggest limitations is the 

initial cost, with the price of buying and 

installing a pellet burner greater than 

that of a conventional wood burner. The 

burner also relies on electricity so won’t 

work during a power cut.

Property Market Update 

with One Agency 

Insurance potential 

key factor in real estate 

Mike Goatley, Principal, 

One Agency Real 

Estate Specialists. 

Borrowing money is said to be more 

affordable than ever. Accessing finance is 

possibly harder; unless a first home buyer 

who is eligible to draw on their KiwiSaver 

and a Government HomeStart grant. 

“Interest rates are the lowest ever though 

banks are more cautious,” suggests Mike 

Goatley, Principal of One Agency Real 

Estate Specialists. 

Mike has noted that while the real estate 

market has slowed, sales are steady with 

the first home buyer bracket relatively 

buoyant. Properties over $650,000 are 

taking longer to sell and the average ‘sell 

time’ for the first home buyer bracket is 

sitting around 39 days. Homes are sitting 

for longer as discerning buyers increase 

their decision-making timeframes. 

Various economic reports offer insight 

into the situation with forces like business 

confidence (reported to be the lowest in 

a decade) impacting on the real estate 

market. 

Mike says people are more particular 

in their requirements while banks require 

more equity due to a concern that low 

equity could slide to no equity. Those 

outside the first home buyer bracket need 

a good deposit and income stream to 

satisfy lending requirements. 

The Selwyn market is unique with its 

own drivers, including: the Southern 

motorway extension; more amenities in 

Rolleston; expanding industry providing 

more local employment; and good land 

quality with seismic stability (there are 

fewer good land options elsewhere in 

Canterbury). 

Anticipated changes in the way homes 

are insured is another factor with 

insurance premiums expected to change, 

to reflect the risk of an actual property 

rather than spread across all insured 

properties. Home owners in high risk 

areas (flood zones or TC3 zoned land) will 

likely have higher premiums to reflect the 

higher level of risk. 

“Quality of land, flood risk and exposure 

to seismic activity will influence the values 

of real estate markets in Canterbury, if not 

around the country. However, Selwyn is 

dancing to its own tune. I believe these 

factors will add to its desirability,” says 

Mike. 

Even in the quieter market, Mike and 

his Rolleston based team have been 

experiencing high demand for their 

services. 

“As the market becomes tighter, more 

The One Agency Real Estate Specialists’ team. 

people look for tried and true service 

delivery,” suggests Mike. 

Seasonal factors are also an influence. 

Many perceive spring is the best time to 

sell yet Mike says he sells just as many 

properties through winter as in other 

seasons. 

“The key is preparing the home – 

showing off its strengths and holding 

viewings when the sun is streaming into 

the home, as well as ensuring it’s warm. 

People come in from the cold and if the 

house is warm it represents its strengths 

well. An empty property needs staging 

with furniture, which shifts it from being a 

house to a home for sale. It engages a heart 

decision with it likely to sell for a better 

price in a shorter timeframe,” adds Mike. 

Mike advises buyers to carry out due 

diligence and secure good advice when 

checking a property’s land stability and 

flood zones before committing to buy.

6 Spring Place 

If you are looking for a fantastic 3 bedroom property in 

a quite well sort after cul de-sac, with a generous 

911m2 section then come and take a look at 6 Spring 

Place. The cosy open plan living/dining gets fantastic all 

day sun. The house is heated with a Firenzo fire with a 

heat transfer and ceiling fan to move the heat around. 

The kitchen is spacious and has a great outlook over the 

large backyard, which is perfect to watch the kids 

playing while prepping dinner. This property has been a 

great first home but my vendors have their eyes set on 

their next move and invite all offers.
