Bruce a hero for youth work<br />

• By Matt Slaughter<br />

A few memories stand out for<br />

Senior Constable Bruce Ward<br />

in his 11 years as a police youth<br />

aid officer.<br />

In the <strong>18</strong> months Ward has<br />

worked at Rolleston Police<br />

Station, he estimates he has<br />

supported about 300 youths<br />

from the district.<br />

Ward has also been a<br />

volunteer with Blue Light for 17<br />

years, an organisation separate<br />

from police, which organises<br />

events for young people who<br />

have been abused or affected by<br />

family violence.<br />

His determination to go<br />

above and beyond for hundreds<br />

of young people has paid off –<br />

Ward was named one of three<br />

winners in the Westfield Local<br />

Heroes awards and received<br />

$10,000 to be donated to Blue<br />

Light.<br />

Ward said the money will be<br />

used towards the cost of arranging<br />

additional camps, including<br />

one for Muslim girls traumatised<br />

by the March 15 mosque attacks.<br />

Recently, he attended a camp<br />

in Auckland with youths who<br />

had been directly impacted by<br />

the terror attacks.<br />

Rolleston Senior<br />

Constable<br />

Bruce Ward has<br />

been named a<br />

Westfield Local<br />

Hero, for his work<br />

with youth.<br />

Photo:<br />

Geoff Sloan ​<br />

whose father and brother were<br />

killed, told Ward when his family<br />

lived in Syria they believed<br />

police killed innocent people.<br />

When Ward asked if his perception<br />

of this had changed, he said<br />

he now trusted police.<br />

A few years ago, through his<br />

police role, he helped to set up<br />

and coach the first XV rugby<br />

team at Cashmere High School.<br />

Property<br />

boom<br />

continues<br />

with $2m<br />

lifestyle<br />

block sale<br />

A lifestyle property with a<br />

sprawling five-bedroom home in<br />

Prebbleton has fetched $2 million<br />

at auction as the property market<br />

continues to boom across the<br />

Canterbury region.<br />

The 3.8ha block features eight<br />

paddocks near Prebbleton Village.<br />

In 20<strong>18</strong> it had<br />

a rateable value<br />

of $1.5 million. It<br />

went under the<br />

hammer during<br />

Cup Week.<br />

“It was sold by<br />

the original owners<br />

who had built<br />

Gina Guthrie<br />

it for themselves many years ago –<br />

it was only on the market for two<br />

weeks,” said Ray White Metro real<br />

estate agent Gina Guthrie.<br />

The transaction spearheaded<br />

more than $7 million of sales<br />

generated by 10 properties for<br />

the company’s offices throughout<br />

Canterbury last week.<br />

FOR PEOPLE who have<br />

had land in the district, it<br />

has always been a ticket to a<br />

healthy bank balance.<br />

Only a decade or so ago<br />

land was primarily used for<br />

grazing livestock.<br />

But developers sensing<br />

yet another wave of migration<br />

starting buying up vast<br />

tracks of it for sections. The<br />

pattern continues today as<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong>’s population growth<br />

booms.<br />

Those who bought lifestyle<br />

blocks several years ago, are<br />

now seeing major capital<br />

gains as we report on page 1<br />

today.<br />

The 3.8ha property with<br />

a five-bedroom home in<br />

Prebbleton has fetched $2<br />

million at auction. It had<br />

been valued in the range of<br />

$1.6m before it went under<br />

the hammer during Cup<br />

Week.<br />

Some are making hay<br />

while the sun shines.<br />

Mayoral ride for men’s health<br />

NEWS 3<br />

In Brief<br />

• By Matt Slaughter<br />

MAYOR SAM Broughton and<br />

business owner Phil Dean cycled<br />

<strong>18</strong>0km from the mountains to<br />

the sea to raise awareness for<br />

men’s health.<br />

They completed the ride between<br />

Monday and Wednesday<br />

last week.<br />

The journey took them from<br />

the Arthur’s Pass National Park,<br />

past the limestone formations at<br />

Castle Hill, across the patchwork<br />

of <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s farming heartland,<br />

to the shores of Lake Ellesmere,<br />

the home of Te Taumutu<br />

Rūnanga.<br />

Broughton said men’s heath<br />

is in a difficult place, with men<br />

dying on average six years earlier<br />

than women, “largely for preventable<br />

reasons.”<br />

“Men simply don’t go to the<br />

doctor as often as women –<br />

this challenge is about raising<br />

awareness of the issues that men<br />

should be thinking about and<br />

showing that taking regular<br />

exercise can be fun as well as<br />

lifesaving,’’ he said.<br />

He also wants to encourage<br />

men to understand the health<br />

challenges they might face and<br />

to encourage them reach out for<br />

help.<br />

“Prostate and testicular cancer<br />

are key issues facing all men, but<br />

mental health has a huge impact<br />

CHALLENGE: Phil Dean (left) and Mayor Sam Broughton cycled <strong>18</strong>0km from Arthur’s<br />

Pass to Lake Ellesmere to raise awareness for men’s health.<br />

on young men in our community.<br />

Mental health is not just Dean, the owner of Robert<br />

healthy lives.<br />

about sufferers reaching out – it’s Harris Cafe, in Rolleston, who is<br />

about mates and others pitching sponsoring the event, said: “I’m<br />

in and asking if things are okay,” delighted to be able to support<br />

Broughton said.<br />

this event and even more thrilled<br />

The cycle challenge was part to be taking part.”<br />

of Movember, which promotes As well as raising awareness of<br />

awareness of men’s health issues men’s health the team are keen<br />

and encourages men to live to promote alternative transport<br />

so have decided to cover the<br />

distance using electric bikes.<br />

“Investing in <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s<br />

cycleways is a fundamental part<br />

of our plan. We’re making the<br />

connections between our towns<br />

safer and more accessible, so<br />

that people can ditch the car and<br />

take their bike to work or play,”<br />

Broughton said.<br />

CAR CRUSHES MAN<br />

A 52-year-old man was killed<br />

when the motor vehicle he<br />

was working on toppled and<br />

crushed him in Rolleston on<br />

Friday afternoon. The man,<br />

whose name has not yet been<br />

released, died at the scene, a<br />

private property on Springston<br />

Rolleston Rd. “He was crushed<br />

by the vehicle, the death has<br />

been referred to the coroner,”<br />

Rolleston police Senior<br />

Sergeant Dean Harker said.<br />

The Lincoln fire service and<br />

St John also attended the<br />

incident.<br />

NO MAORI WARD<br />

Following discussions with<br />

local rūnanga, the district<br />

council has agreed it will not<br />

add a Māori ward for the 2022<br />

and 2025 local body elections.<br />

The district council is required<br />

to consider whether or not to<br />

establish a Māori ward, prior<br />

to its representation review<br />

carried out every six years.<br />

The Representation Review<br />

Committee sought the views<br />

of local rūnanga and during<br />

discussions with Mayor Sam<br />

Broughton. Both Te Taumutu<br />

Rūnanga and Te Ngāi Tūāhuriri<br />

Rūnanga indicated that they do<br />

not support the establishment<br />

of a Māori ward or wards at the<br />

present time.<br />

Flood protection<br />

work nearly done<br />

PROJECTS TO improve flood<br />

protection and wastewater<br />

infrastructure around Leeston and<br />

Doyleston should be completed by<br />

The projects include upgrades to<br />

culverts and pipes along Leeston Rd and<br />

they will be coordinated to minimise<br />

disruption along the road.<br />

Work on the Leeston stormwater<br />

bypass project is ahead of schedule<br />

and the closure of Leeston Rd at the<br />

intersection with Station St has been<br />

brought forward, with a detour in place<br />

using Station and Cunningham Sts.<br />

The works are part of a long-term<br />

project to upgrade the stormwater<br />

network and reduce the risk of flooding<br />

in Leeston.<br />

Final works on Station St will be completed<br />

from December 4-22, to coordinate<br />

with the other work on Leeston Rd.<br />

Flood protection work for Doyleston<br />

will also be happening from Monday to<br />

upgrade the culvert under Leeston Rd<br />

near Drain Rd. This work will enlarge<br />

the culvert and reduce the risk of<br />

flooding in Doyleston.<br />

A stop/go system will be in place on<br />

Leeston Rd around this site for two<br />

weeks until December 4.<br />

A team is planning to replace the<br />

wastewater pipe along Leeston Rd between<br />

the townships, working from the<br />

Doyleston end towards Leeston.<br />

Work on the Doyleston to Leeston<br />

wastewater pipe is scheduled to take<br />

place until December <strong>18</strong>. The work site<br />

will have a low-speed zone in place.<br />

THE NEW walking and<br />

cycleway between Doyleston<br />

and Leeston has opened and<br />

will bring the townships<br />

together.<br />

The Leeston Doyleston Way<br />

will be officially opened on Saturday<br />

during an opening event<br />

at the Leeston Showgrounds<br />

entrance.<br />

Leeston Township Committee<br />

chairman Lloyd Clausen said<br />

the cycle and<br />

walkway is a<br />

long-awaited<br />

project that<br />

people are<br />

excited to see<br />

open.<br />

“There are<br />

people using<br />

it all the time.<br />

It’s great for<br />

the towns. It’s good for the safety<br />

of people travelling between<br />

the two towns and it opens up<br />

another area for people to walk.<br />

It makes life easier to get between<br />

the two and it ties the towns<br />

together a bit more,” he said.<br />

The 2.1km cycle and<br />

walkway runs between Drain<br />

Rd, Doyleston and Manse<br />

Rd, Leeston and was built<br />

by Leeston-based Johnston<br />

Excavating and Drainage.<br />

It needed additional land from<br />

the main adjoining properties<br />

to fit the pathway in alongside<br />

Leeston Rd, where there were a<br />

number of design challenges to<br />

overcome.<br />

District council transportation<br />

asset manager Andrew Mazey<br />

said the cycle and walkway adds<br />

to the network of cycleways<br />

“We know people in Doyleston<br />

Rotary raises<br />

$14,000 for<br />

projects<br />

LINCOLN ROTARY Club has<br />

raised more than $14,000 that<br />

will help fund local and overseas<br />

projects.<br />

The club has been selling<br />

mushroom compost and other<br />

fertilisers for the last nine weeks.<br />

Its members sold 800 bags<br />

and 105 scoops of mushroom<br />

compost, 93 bags of lawn<br />

fertiliser and 67 bags of garden<br />

fertiliser.<br />

The club’s autumn campaign<br />

starts in mid-April 2021.<br />

Organiser Noel Dunlop said:<br />

“We must thank the very generous<br />

people from all around our<br />

district who have supported the<br />

club’s sales of compost for the<br />

last three years, and hopefully<br />

they will continue to support us<br />

when our new campaign starts<br />

next year.”<br />

Said Lincoln Rotary president<br />

Gary Kennett: “The support<br />

from John Smith and his family<br />

has been outstanding, and a big<br />

thank you to Noel Dunlop for<br />

organising the event and our<br />

members for volunteering so<br />

much of their time to bag and<br />

sell the compost – all of the<br />

money raised will be put to good<br />

use helping us support local<br />

communities.”<br />

Kiwi artworks inspire festival<br />

FEATHERED FRIENDS, bugs,<br />

fashion and a huge collection<br />

of Kiwi art is on show at the<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> Arts Festival.<br />

Following a successful festival<br />

last year, the district council<br />

has once again partnered with<br />

three <strong>Selwyn</strong> art galleries, Te<br />

Huanui Art Gallery in Darfield,<br />

Lakeland Gallery in Leeston and<br />

Down by the Liffey Gallery in<br />

Lincoln, to put on the festival<br />

celebrating art in <strong>Selwyn</strong>.<br />

This year’s festival features<br />

13 tours, events and workshops<br />

across the district and is running<br />

until <strong>November</strong> 22.<br />

The week aims to stimulate<br />

people’s understanding of the<br />

arts, with its hands-on sessions<br />

covering everything from chalk<br />

painting to block printing and<br />

enamelling.<br />

It also includes three public<br />

tours of Lincoln University’s collection<br />

of more than 280 pieces<br />

by Kiwi artists, run by curator<br />

Fiona Simpson.<br />

Arts festival organiser and<br />

district council work readiness<br />

and enterprise coordinator Trudi<br />

Fraser said the university already<br />

runs tours for community groups<br />

and was excited by the opportunity<br />

to make its collection more<br />

accessible to the community.<br />

“A lot of people don’t know<br />

that they have a big collection<br />

of New Zealand art, so it was a<br />

good opportunity to open it up<br />

to the public.”<br />

Other festival events range<br />

from spoon carving to ‘create a<br />

critter’ illustration workshops<br />

and a ‘feathered friends’ themed<br />

CELEBRATING:<br />

Pieces like this<br />

one at Lincoln<br />

University are<br />

on display at<br />

The week also covers fashion<br />

with a glass jewellery workshop,<br />

while artist Emily Dot has<br />

been offering to turn people’s<br />

sneakers into fashion statements<br />

by collecting and painting them<br />

for $10 a pair.<br />

Protecting<br />

heritage<br />

gets boost<br />

EFFORTS TO protect the history<br />

of 12 of the district’s heritage<br />

properties have received a boost<br />

through the council’s heritage fund.<br />

Building repairs, maintenance<br />

and a project to safely preserve<br />

historical artefacts will all be supported,<br />

with the fund awarding up<br />

to $39,000 towards the projects.<br />

Keeping the district’s heritage<br />

alive is a big undertaking, which<br />

the council supports through funding<br />

and through the district plan,<br />

which identifies heritage buildings,<br />

structures, sites and trees and sets<br />

the rules for their preservation.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> has experienced several<br />

waves of settlement by Māori and<br />

European. As a result there are sites,<br />

buildings and structures in our<br />

district which are of cultural or historic<br />

value to individuals, families,<br />

iwi, rūnanga and communities.<br />

The Proposed <strong>Selwyn</strong> District<br />

Plan updates the list of heritage<br />

buildings and notable trees as well<br />

as identifying and including new<br />

rules to recognise and protect sites<br />

and areas of significance to Māori.<br />

For more information about how<br />

the proposed district plan plans to<br />

protect heritage items and how to<br />

make a submission, visit the district<br />

plan page. Submissions are open<br />

until 5pm Friday, December 11.<br />

Last <strong>November</strong>, a new officer<br />

in uniform introduced himself<br />

to Ward. He was one of the<br />

boys he coached and said Ward<br />

inspired him to join the police.<br />

Said Ward: “My goal was always<br />

to be involved with youth<br />

and make a difference in young<br />

people’s lives.<br />

“To spend a little bit of time<br />

and money on young people at<br />

that age, then it prevents them<br />

going into the justice system<br />

later on and we all know that it’s<br />

Recognition for supporting youth<br />

close to $90,000 a year to have<br />

one prisoner imprisoned.<br />

“If the police can break<br />

down those barriers and look<br />

at the whole restorative justice<br />

approach to youth so that they<br />

get that chance . . . the whole<br />

country’s on a winner,” he said.<br />

Ward said being recognised<br />

as a local hero is a great feeling<br />

but he sees it as an award for the<br />

many police and volunteers who<br />

dedicate their time to Blue Light<br />

and supporting youth.<br />

“There’s no way I could have<br />

ever done this without the team<br />

at Blue Light as supporters.”<br />

He estimates he has worked<br />

with about 60 police officers and<br />

many more volunteers during<br />

his time with Blue Light.<br />

“I’ve been awarded and that’s<br />

great, but do you know what, it’s<br />

an award for Blue Light and the<br />

community organisation.”<br />

His daughters Sarah and<br />

Charlotte and wife Pam are<br />

proud of the recognition.<br />

“They’re over the moon and<br />

they’ve grown up with police,<br />

POLICE SAFETY Orders are<br />

immediate orders issued by a<br />

qualified constable at a family<br />

harm episode. PSOs require a<br />

bound person to surrender any<br />

weapons in their control or any<br />

firearm’s licence and vacate any<br />

land or building occupied by a<br />

person(s) at risk regardless of<br />

whether the bound person has<br />

a legal or equitable interest in it.<br />

PSOs can be issued for up to 10<br />

days.<br />

What is a PSO<br />

A PSO provides an additional<br />

tool for police attending<br />

family harm episodes. They<br />

enable frontline officers to take<br />

immediate action to protect<br />

persons at risk of family harm<br />

when an investigation fails to<br />

establish sufficient evidence of an<br />

offence.<br />

A PSO provides time for the<br />

person at risk to seek support<br />

and assistance, including applying<br />

for a temporary protection<br />

order if desired and for the<br />

bound person to cool down and<br />

also seek support and assistance.<br />

A PSO is issued in circumstances<br />

where the police believe<br />

on reasonable grounds that<br />

family violence has occurred or<br />

might occur. The person at risk’s<br />

consent is not required.<br />

A bound person is a person<br />

against whom a PSO has been<br />

issued.<br />

A person at risk is the person<br />

at a family harm episode who<br />

is deemed to be most at risk of<br />

being harmed once officers have<br />

left a scene and for whom police<br />

have issued a PSO to protect.<br />

Also includes children that usually<br />

reside with the person.<br />

The effects of a PSO<br />

Longer effects:<br />

In addition to the immediate<br />

effects of the order, the bound<br />

person must not:<br />

• Engage in behaviour that<br />

amounts to any form of family<br />

violence against a person at risk.<br />

• Make any contact with a person<br />

at risk that is not authorised.<br />

• Encourage any person to<br />

engage in behaviour against or<br />

to contact a person at risk, where<br />

the behaviour or contact, if engaged<br />

in or made by the bound<br />

person, would be prohibited by<br />

the order.<br />

Breaching a PSO<br />

Although breaching a PSO is<br />

not an offence, the bound person<br />

can still be taken into custody if<br />

a constable believes on reasonable<br />

grounds that the bound<br />

person has refused or failed to<br />

comply with the order or a condition<br />

of the order.<br />

If the bound person absconds<br />

the court may issue a warrant<br />

to arrest the bound person if it<br />

is required to bring them before<br />

the court.<br />

The court may:<br />

• Release the bound person<br />

without any further order.<br />

• Direct the police to issue<br />

another PSO.<br />

• Issue a Temporary Protection<br />

Order (if the person at risk does<br />

not object).<br />

The court does not need an<br />

application from anyone to issue<br />

a TPO.<br />

No criminal convictions result<br />

Reporting family harm<br />

events can be done in a<br />

number of ways:<br />

• Phone 111 when you<br />

need immediate help with<br />

a life-threatening or time–<br />

critical emergency<br />

• By phoning 105 –<br />

when no one is injured<br />

or in danger, there is no<br />

serious risk to people or<br />

property, the crime isn’t still<br />

happening.<br />

• By reporting online at<br />

105.police.govt.nz<br />

• Or by phoning into your<br />

nearest local police station.<br />

Local policing matters:<br />

Over the last few<br />

weeks we have had a<br />

disappointing amount of<br />

drivers apprehended for<br />

drink driving across the<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> district, some of<br />

these have come from<br />

the drivers being involved<br />

in crashes or complaints<br />

from the public where their<br />

erratic driving has raised<br />

concerns.<br />

Over Labour Weekend<br />

local police attended a<br />

number of serious and<br />

non-serious incidents, a<br />

lot of these crashes can be<br />

put down to speed and, or<br />

distraction.<br />

We are still getting<br />

vehicles broken into and<br />

property being stolen<br />

at night and we always<br />

encourage people not to<br />

leave valuables in your<br />

vehicle and to lock your<br />

vehicle.<br />

Be safe and feel safe.<br />

from the issue or breach of a<br />

PSO.<br />

Other offences, such as assaults<br />

or property damage, will<br />

be investigated and charges laid<br />

where sufficient evidence exists.<br />

When we call, hundreds<br />

of Kiwi businesses answer.<br />

just like this. In an emergency, their businesses proudly allow them to rush out and help.<br />

LEAVING HIS wife and threeyear-old<br />

daughter behind in Iran<br />

during a war was the hardest<br />

thing Farhad Dastgheib has done<br />

in his life.<br />

Sitting at the Cottage Café, in<br />

Lincoln, drinking a latte, Dastgheib<br />

shares his story of moving<br />

to New Zealand in 1987.<br />

After studying a master’s<br />

degree in Agronomy at the<br />

American University of Beirut<br />

in Lebanon, he worked at Shiraz<br />

University for a few years.<br />

Farhad’s goal was to complete<br />

a doctorate degree in Western<br />

countries.<br />

The Islamic revolution<br />

changed his beloved country<br />

dramatically, not long before he<br />

received acceptance from Lincoln<br />

University.<br />

“I did a little bit of research<br />

and found that this place<br />

they call New Zealand is so far<br />

away, but it has good potential,<br />

so I thought well, I’ll give it a<br />

try.”<br />

The next challenge Dastgheib<br />

faced was leaving his daughter<br />

and wife in Iran, while the<br />

country was at war with its<br />

neighbour, Iraq.<br />

“That made it even harder, not<br />

only missing my family but also<br />

because the country was in war,<br />

it was very worrying.”<br />

Communication was tricky too.<br />

“Every now and then I could<br />

make a telephone call and then<br />

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />

that was it,” he said.<br />

Two years later he was relieved<br />

when his wife and daughter<br />

could join him. He smiles at the<br />

memory.<br />

“That was probably the happiest<br />

day of my New Zealand life.<br />

My daughter was just turning<br />

five-years-old when they came<br />

over and I remember a couple of<br />

days after their arrival, I managed<br />

to organise a nice birthday<br />

party for her and she was<br />

thrilled.”<br />

From then onwards, things<br />

started to take shape for Dastgheib<br />

and his growing family,<br />

as they welcomed their second<br />

daughter.<br />

After finishing his PhD, he<br />

lectured at Lincoln University<br />

for about seven years, then continued<br />

working casually for<br />

the university while running<br />

his own agricultural research<br />

consultancy.<br />

Dastgheib found the people in<br />

New Zealand very friendly and<br />

interested in his culture.<br />

“When I spoke to people here,<br />

they said, ‘everybody in New<br />

Zealand came from another<br />

place’ so that made me feel more<br />

welcomed, like I’m not a stranger<br />

in a place where most people<br />

are one group and you are a foreigner.<br />

All those encounters and<br />

comments made me feel more<br />

comfortable.”<br />

Joining the Lincoln Rotary<br />

Club, Dastgheib was able to give<br />

back to the community that<br />

made him feel welcome and<br />

meet more people in <strong>Selwyn</strong>. He<br />

furthered his knowledge on New<br />

Zealand’s culture, so different<br />

from that of Iran.<br />

He still holds memories of<br />

Iran; the ancient culture and<br />

history he is proud of, the way of<br />

life before the Islamic revolution,<br />

and Iranian food and poetry.<br />

Dastgheib celebrates Nowruz,<br />

the Iranian New Year in March,<br />

gathering with his family around<br />

a table of food set in a traditional<br />

way, remembering each year<br />

gone by. He says it is important<br />

to pass on this tradition to his<br />

daughters and their families<br />

so they can have a feeling of<br />

belonging to a place.<br />

Dastgheib did not initially<br />

plan on staying in New Zealand<br />

for 32 years, but he is glad he did<br />

and feels this is home.<br />

“Coming from another country<br />

where there are different<br />

sorts of problems, it’s not easy<br />

but I had made a choice to live in<br />

a place where I can raise family<br />

in a peaceful and friendly environment.<br />

I found New Zealand<br />

to be a very good example of<br />

that.”<br />

Annual exhibition keeps<br />

art alive in <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

The Annual <strong>Selwyn</strong> Arts Heart Exhibition sprung to life two weekends ago, on 7 and 8 <strong>November</strong><br />

at the Rolleston Community Centre, with 280 people visiting from all over <strong>Selwyn</strong> and Canterbury.<br />

Two hundred and fifty pieces of art were on display made by <strong>Selwyn</strong> artists. The exhibition –<br />

supported by the Council’s Creative Communities Fund – is open to artists of any style and age. It<br />

has hosted Canterbury artist Henry Turner’s art since he was 12, musical instruments made out of<br />

cake tins and the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Embroiderer’s group.<br />

Scheduled for April next year, <strong>Selwyn</strong> Arts Heart Chairperson Wendy Rockhouse says she will<br />

apply for the Creative Communities Fund again to help cover the venue hire and advertising<br />

expenses, as she does every year.<br />

“Without their funding, we couldn’t run an exhibition. Our exhibitions aren’t money making<br />

exhibitions, they’re held to give emerging artists the opportunity to participate in an exhibition.”<br />

Wendy has been involved with Arts Heart for 16 years. She is a firm believer in art being good for<br />

the soul, which is at the heart of why Arts Heart hold these annual exhibitions, she says.<br />

“I enjoy seeing the new artists that enter and the expression on their face when they’ve sold a<br />

piece of work. It brings the community together, it gives them a sense of wellbeing. Art gives them<br />

an avenue to express themselves, they otherwise might not have,” she says.<br />

To help with that, Arts Heart only take 15% of the commission made from the exhibition.<br />

Visit Arts Heart’s website, artsheart.nz, for more information.<br />

The Creative Communities <strong>Selwyn</strong> Fund is open for applications until 5pm, Friday 27 <strong>November</strong>.<br />

Think water sense this summer<br />

Summer is almost here, so it’s time to start thinking smart about<br />

how we use water, so we can all keep enjoying a reliable water<br />

service through the hotter and drier months.<br />

After a drier than usual winter, the National Institute of Water and<br />

Atmospheric Research is predicting a hot, dry summer, meaning<br />

now is a good time to get into good habits and be smart about how<br />

we use our water to help ensure there is no need for restrictions,<br />

Council Infrastructure Group Manager Murray Washington says.<br />

“Water supplies are often placed under pressure during summer as<br />

many people decide to water their lawns and gardens at the same<br />

time. So we’re encouraging people to think about their water use. If<br />

everyone plays their part we should be able to avoid restrictions and<br />

provide water at a good pressure all summer long.”<br />

Being water smart also helps ensure you’re making the most of the<br />

water you use, being good for your garden and getting the best<br />

value from your water rates.<br />

To help this happen, the Council is recommending that people<br />

limit watering to after 9pm, to keep it away from peak usage times<br />

and ensure the sun doesn’t quickly evaporate the water, which will<br />

reduce the effectiveness of the water use.<br />

Tips for managing your water use:<br />

· Check hoses or taps for leaks<br />

· Make sure sprinklers are watering the plants not the driveway,<br />

footpath or buildings<br />

· Use a watering can or hose<br />

· Water for shorter periods, for example watering for three fiveminute<br />

intervals over a couple of hours lets the soil absorb more<br />

water than watering for 15 minutes continuously which causes<br />

water run-off<br />

· Water your garden and lawn every few days rather than every day<br />

· No need to water the berm – let it die off during summer to save<br />

money on your water rates and wear and tear on your lawn mower<br />

When to water your lawn<br />

Don’t irrigate Between 6–9am or 4–9pm daily.<br />

Check weather conditions before watering<br />

Irrigate wisely<br />

Kirwee Reserve development gets underway<br />

A cricket oval and new lights are coming to Kirwee Reserve as the first part of the Reserve<br />

Development Master Plan gets under way.<br />

Work on the reserve development is due to start on Monday 23 <strong>November</strong> and will be completed in<br />

March 2021. The work will include upgrading the electrical and irrigation systems to future-proof further<br />

developments, as well as installing the new cricket oval and lighting.<br />

It will also include landscaping changes, the removal of some trees on the west side of the reserve and<br />

the realignment of the No.2 field to free up space for future developments.<br />

The Kirwee Recreation Reserve Management Committee, Kirwee Township Committee and the Council<br />

have worked together on the Master Plan over the last <strong>18</strong> months.<br />

Pupils from Kirwee Model School have also carried out planting of native plants around the boundaries<br />

of the reserve.<br />

Kirwee Recreation Reserve Management Committee Chair Raewyn Feast says the committee is excited and<br />

pleased to see work under way and the development will better cater for the sports users of the reserve.<br />

“It will also complement and maximise open space for community to enjoy the quiet surroundings that<br />

a rural reserve brings.”<br />

Future stages are planned to include sensory and junior play spaces and may involve the further<br />

development of the community hub and a pump track.<br />

Malvern meeting to help keep your property safe<br />

from fire<br />

The Council, Fire and Emergency New Zealand (FENZ), Police, and other organisations are teaming up<br />

again to help people keep themselves and their properties safe from fire.<br />

They are running a community meeting in Darfield to talk about tips for keeping your property safe. The<br />

meeting will be held at the Darfield Recreation Centre at 7pm Thursday 26 <strong>November</strong>.<br />

It will also cover the McHughs Forest Park fire plan the agencies have put together to protect people in<br />

case of a fire in the forest.<br />

McHughs Forest Park has been identified by FENZ as a potential fire hazard due to its close proximity<br />

to residential properties and businesses in Darfield and the abundance of fuels.<br />

This risk is greatly increased during periods of high wind, particularly a strong nor’west wind.<br />

The meeting will cover evacuation zones and how to prepare for a fire at the forest park. It will also<br />

cover advice for how to prepare properties for the peak fire season and what to do in the event of a fire.<br />

For more information on this you can visit selwyn.govt.nz/mchughs.<br />

Council Emergency Management Manager Al Lawn says the meeting follows on from three successful<br />

community events run by FENZ and supported by Council and Police last year.<br />

“We had a great response last year from people who found it really helpful. These are important<br />

messages to remind people of some simple things that they can do to be prepared and help keep<br />

themselves, their families, pets and others safe in the event of a fire.”<br />

BACKYARD CRITTERS<br />

Mike Bowie is an ecologist who specialises in entomology<br />

(insects and other invertebrates). Each week he introduces a<br />

new species found in his backyard at Lincoln. His column aims<br />

to raise public awareness of biodiversity, the variety of living<br />

things around us. Check out the full list of invertebrates found at<br />

Blowfly important<br />

to our ecosystem<br />

THE BROWN blowfly<br />

is a species loathed by<br />

most, yet it contributes<br />

important ecosystem<br />

services such as pollination<br />

and the decomposition of<br />

dead bodies.<br />

Calliphora stygia was<br />

introduced by early<br />

settlers from south-eastern<br />

Australia. It is also found<br />

in New Guinea and the<br />

Solomon Islands. The fly is<br />

8-12mm in length and has<br />

brownish-yellow hairs on<br />

the abdomen and a grey<br />

thorax.<br />

It is an early coloniser of<br />

dead bodies and therefore<br />

is a useful species in<br />

forensics for determining<br />

time of death in human<br />

corpses.<br />

THe species also cause<br />

flystrike in live sheep<br />

where eggs laid around<br />

dags on sheep and then<br />

maggots can burrow into<br />

the skin and flesh causing<br />

death if not dealt with by<br />

farmers.<br />

Creamy white eggs are<br />

usually laid on flesh and<br />

hatch <strong>18</strong> to 48 hours later,<br />

depending on temperature.<br />

The brown blowfly has<br />

only three larval instars<br />

(maggot stages) allowing<br />

for the species to complete<br />

its lifecycle in 15 days in<br />

ideal conditions.<br />

Interestingly, secretions<br />

from the green tree frog in<br />

Australia cause mortality<br />

of adult and larva of the<br />

brown blowfly.<br />

Maybe this could be<br />

used for future fly control<br />

on sheep.<br />

A&P Show cancellation<br />

blow for businesses<br />

WITH NO Canterbury A&P Show this<br />

year, businesses are hurting as the local<br />

economy faces a potential $30 million<br />

loss.<br />

The three-day A&P Show was called off<br />

this year, and the Canterbury Chamber<br />

of Commerce expects accommodation<br />

operators will feel the pinch the most.<br />

The show normally brings in about<br />

$30 million to the local economy but was<br />

cancelled for the first time since World<br />

War 2.<br />

Chamber of commerce chief executive<br />

Leeann Watson said: “We can’t expect<br />

to go through something unprecedented<br />

like we have with Covid and come out<br />

completely unscathed, so I think that is<br />

understandable that we’ve had a bit of a<br />

dent to the economy.”<br />

But large crowds at horse racing<br />

meetings in Christchurch have helped<br />

ease the economic blow, she said.<br />

“The sell-out crowds to the races has<br />

certainly contributed and hopefully made<br />

up for some of that loss and its great to<br />

see people out and about supporting local<br />

business.”<br />

Watson said the chamber is nervous<br />

about a community Covid-19 outbreak in<br />

the lead-up to Christmas.<br />

She said pre-Christmas sales are needed<br />

to help them get through a tough year.<br />

“What’s on everyone’s minds is making<br />

sure we don’t have any disruptions<br />

between now and Christmas so that<br />

businesses can absolutely maximise that<br />

busy festive time and they need to make<br />

up for those losses at the start of the year.”<br />

Super rugby trophy good as new<br />

• By Chris Barclay<br />

THE INAUGURAL Super<br />

Rugby Aotearoa trophy is<br />

good as new again, after the<br />

completion of restoration work<br />

required after the Crusaders’<br />

boisterous championshipwinning<br />

celebrations.<br />

Created by Otaki carver Bill<br />

Doyle, Tu Kotahi Aotearoa<br />

(Stand as One, New Zealand)<br />

unexpectedly ended back in his<br />

care after it was damaged during<br />

the Crusaders’ post-match antics<br />

after they beat the Highlanders<br />

to claim a symbol representing<br />

five Super Rugby franchises<br />

coming together through the<br />

Covid-19 pandemic.<br />

The Crusaders were criticised<br />

after images depicting chips and<br />

scuffs on the totara base went<br />

viral soon after August 15 clash<br />

and, after making an apologetic<br />

trip to visit Doyle, chief executive<br />

Colin Mansbridge has finally<br />

been reunited with the trophy.<br />

It was returned to the Canterbury<br />

Rugby Football Union<br />

headquarters at Rugby Park by<br />

New Zealand Rugby officials to<br />

coincide with the Farah Palmer<br />

Cup final there on October 31.<br />

Mansbridge had headed a<br />

delegation to return the damaged<br />

trophy to Doyle, with the<br />

group also including captain<br />

Codie Taylor and loose forward<br />

Whetukamokamo Douglas.<br />

“We knew we had to do<br />

something and when we went<br />

up it was clear they wanted to<br />

tell us how they felt. We were<br />

welcomed, there was a challenge,<br />

very fearsome, very emotional,”<br />

Mansbridge said, recalling the<br />

powhiri and haka they received<br />

at Pukekaraka.<br />

He said the exercise emphasised<br />

how the Crusaders had not<br />

treated the trophy with the reverence<br />

it deserved.<br />

“We hadn’t done enough<br />

work on understanding the<br />

significance of this trophy. The<br />

story around it is really quite<br />

special.”<br />

The base represents an<br />

upturned waka to signify the<br />

disruption Covid-19 had on<br />

rugby in <strong>2020</strong> while a patu<br />

pounamu rests on the top – and<br />

temporarily went missing during<br />

the celebrations.<br />

Doyle also etched a number,<br />

11, on the underside of the base<br />

in recognition of his son Sam, a<br />

former Hurricanes back who was<br />

diagnosed with leukaemia this<br />

year.<br />

Restoring the trophy wasn’t<br />

onerous for Doyle, who was<br />

happy to carry out the work free<br />

of charge.<br />

“It had some nicks and<br />

scratches. I didn’t have to make a<br />

new one. I just cleaned it up and<br />

shaved a bit off here and there<br />

and redid some of the patterns so<br />

it looks good as new again,” he<br />

told Otaki Today.<br />

He did make one request,<br />

however: “I think the players<br />

should understand that it isn’t<br />

just a trophy. It has patterns<br />

on it and it tells a story. That’s<br />

important.”<br />

Mansbridge insisted there was<br />

no issue on that score.<br />

“It was bad form and the whole<br />

organisation learnt from it.<br />

Mansbridge said education<br />

comprised “95 per cent” of the<br />

rehabilitation process with locking<br />

up the trophy after the lap of<br />

honour too simplistic a solution if<br />

the Crusaders also won next year.<br />

“Imagine if that’s all we did?<br />

it’s easy to tell the manager to go<br />

lock it in a cupboard,” he said.<br />

For now the trophy is secure<br />

in the CRFU foyer though it may<br />

eventually gain wider exposure.<br />

“Our trophies do spend a bit of<br />

time in the community in different<br />

environments but we’ve got<br />

so many of them now people get<br />

a bit bored with it,” Mansbridge<br />

said.<br />

“But there’s a story about that<br />

trophy now, and that’s a story<br />

about restoration as much as<br />

anything. There will be a time<br />

and a place when it will be seen.”<br />

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />

etiring after 23 years in sports role<br />

Dedicated Primary<br />

Sports Canterbury<br />

sports director Lyn<br />

Miles is poised to blow<br />

the final whistle on her<br />

association with the<br />

role she has occupied<br />

since 1997<br />

• By Chris Barclay<br />

THE FINISH line is in sight for<br />

Lyn Miles, her race is run once<br />

she watches hundreds of kids<br />

circle the athletics track at Nga<br />

Puna Wai one last time.<br />

Miles, the sports director for<br />

Primary Sports Canterbury,<br />

signs off at the organisation’s<br />

athletics championships on December<br />

2, the event marking the<br />

end of a serious leisure pursuit<br />

that started in 1997.<br />

Back then Miles, a former<br />

teacher at <strong>Selwyn</strong> House School<br />

and development officer for Netball<br />

New Zealand, had six sports<br />

to organise events for – now the<br />

calendar covers 32 disciplines<br />

from your stock-standard rugby<br />

and football to boccia and hiphop<br />

dancing.<br />

Though netball and athletics<br />

are the 72-year-old’s forte, Miles<br />

has had to absorb the rules of<br />

every sport she co-ordinates<br />

competitions for with korfball<br />

and ultimate frisbee the latest.<br />

FINAL WHISTLE: Primary Sports Canterbury sports director Lyn Miles will be retiring from<br />

the role she took on since 1997.<br />

PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<br />

“I check every year to see if<br />

there’s any (rule) changes or they<br />

may come about because we’ve<br />

been to an event and we see<br />

something’s not working quite as<br />

it should be or could be,” she said.<br />

Take slow pitch softball and<br />

touch rugby.<br />

LEGACY: The annual primary schools cross-country event,<br />

one of many organised by Miles over the years.<br />

Miles noticed some sly softball<br />

teams were deliberately pitching<br />

out of an opponent’s reach to<br />

limit the amount of runs they’d<br />

concede in a 15min inning,<br />

knowing the scores were tallied<br />

at the end of the game.<br />

“We changed the rule so the<br />

batting team also supplied the<br />

pitcher so the kids can actually<br />

get through as fast as they can to<br />

get some runs.”<br />

In touch rugby, girls were awarded<br />

two points for a try, double the<br />

lads, so they weren’t left out.<br />

“We give the girls two points<br />

otherwise the boys just hog the<br />

ball. Now they’re more keen on<br />

giving the girls the chance to<br />

score a try.<br />

“Little things like that might<br />

make a difference when it comes<br />

to primary school kids wanting<br />

to play sport.”<br />

While taking part is obviously<br />

key, Miles is old-school in a<br />

way when asked if winning is<br />

important.<br />

“My views on that are probably<br />

not what they should be. I<br />

believe children do need competition.<br />

They actually like to<br />

win,” she said, adding: “I think it<br />

should be a mixture of winning<br />

and trying.<br />

“We do cross-country and it’s<br />

just amazing how many parents<br />

take children all around the<br />

country to compete at primary<br />

school level. A few may keep<br />

doing it at high school but a lot<br />

of them won’t because they’re<br />

pushed so much by their parents.<br />

I don’t believe in that.”<br />

Miles has naturally witnessed<br />

the excesses of overzealous parents<br />

and realises abuse is part of<br />

the game, though behaviour has<br />

improved.<br />

“We haven’t had a lot of<br />

problems (recently) because the<br />

schools are quite good at dealing<br />

with it now. If it really gets bad<br />

I go to the sports co-ordinator<br />

and then maybe the principal.<br />

A few years ago we had a school<br />

that banned parents from going<br />

to any of the events. The school<br />

stepped up for us.”<br />

Occasionally the participants<br />

also need a word in their ear,<br />

with Miles happy to lay down<br />

the law.<br />

“If the children are at fault,<br />

we’ll stop a game and tell them<br />

we won’t continue unless they<br />

change. We haven’t had a lot of<br />

that lately, hopefully that’s because<br />

the schools are educating<br />

the children before they get to<br />

events.”<br />

Miles, who became a member<br />

of the New Zealand Order of<br />

Merit in 2010 for services to<br />

netball, nominated the increased<br />

interest in duathlon as a highlight<br />

of her tenure.<br />

“I also enjoy orienteering<br />

because kids that are not excellent<br />

at sport but just want to do<br />

something . . . it gives them the<br />

chance. So does bowls.”<br />

Given she has seen thousands<br />

of kids go through their paces,<br />

there were bound to be a couple<br />

who matured into household<br />

names, Miles remembered a<br />

couple of recognisable internationals.<br />

“I went to Chisnallwood Intermediate<br />

and Ryan Crotty accepted<br />

one of the rugby plaques.<br />

I remember (former Silver Fern)<br />

Anna Stanley (nee Rowberry)<br />

playing netball.”<br />

Templeton-based Miles is<br />

succeeded by Michael Wilson<br />

from the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Sports Trust,<br />

though she will stay on to ease<br />

his transition.<br />

She will continue to umpire<br />

in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Netball Centre<br />

competition and groom her successors<br />

in that role as well. Over<br />

summer she plans to officiate<br />

athletics.<br />

Those gigs maintain a life-long<br />

love of sport, but she will still<br />

miss her full-time job.<br />

“I’ll miss the smiles on the<br />

kids’ faces, the interaction with<br />

everybody. It’s so good to go to<br />

a venue like Hagley Park and<br />

think ‘well I made this possible’,”<br />

she said.<br />

“What I won’t miss is looking<br />

at the weather every day, and<br />

having to decide whether we<br />

have things on or not.”<br />

The property offers a very good standard of improvements which<br />

includes a private, modernised three bedroom home situated in a<br />

three-bay implement shed and the three-bay hayshed.<br />

With irrigation consent to irrigate up to 20ha and the property being<br />

well fenced into numerous paddocks with lane ways, the property<br />

would suit a number of stock systems.<br />

With Christmas<br />

approaching and the<br />

probability a pork roast is<br />

on the menu a practice<br />

run could well be useful.<br />

This is a delicious recipe<br />

using wine, oranges,<br />

garlic and cloves to form<br />

the sauce for a pork pot<br />

roast. Serve with a mash<br />

of swedes, potatoes and<br />

spring onions, and a green<br />

leafy salad. Finish with an<br />

easy strawberry trifle for<br />

dessert<br />

Pot roast of pork with<br />

cloves and oranges<br />

Serves 4<br />

Ingredients<br />

1kg pork shoulder<br />

1 to taste salt and freshly ground<br />

pepper<br />

2 tbsp olive oil<br />

2 garlic cloves<br />

1 bay leaf<br />

6 cloves<br />

5 sprigs oregano<br />

1 cup dry white wine<br />

2 oranges<br />

Directions<br />

Preheat the oven to 140 deg C.<br />

Cut the rind off the piece of pork<br />

and sprinkle with salt, unless the<br />

meat has been pre-salted and a<br />

good grinding of black pepper.<br />

Heat the oil in an enamelled<br />

cast-iron casserole pot and add<br />

the pork. Brown on all sides.<br />

Lower the heat and add the<br />

garlic, bay leaf, cloves, oregano<br />

and wine.<br />

Cover tightly and put into the<br />

oven. Cook for about 1½ hours<br />

until the meat is fork-tender. Remove<br />

from the oven and lift the<br />

meat out on to a warmed platter.<br />

Cover with foil and put back<br />

in the turned-off oven to keep<br />

warm. To make the sauce, put<br />

the casserole pot over a low heat<br />

and use a spatula to scrape any<br />

brownings from the sides of the<br />

pot into the liquid.<br />

If there is less than about a cup<br />

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />

Not too early to be thinking of Xmas dinner<br />

of liquid in the pot, add a little<br />

more water. Strain into a small<br />

pot. If there is a lot of oil on the<br />

surface, skim some off, but leave<br />

behind a few spoonfuls to enrich<br />

the sauce.<br />

Use a sharp knife to peel the<br />

oranges, including all the pith,<br />

then cut out the segments one by<br />

one, leaving the membranes and<br />

core behind.<br />

Use your hand to squeeze the<br />

core over the pot of sauce to<br />

extract any remaining orange<br />

juice.<br />

Bring the sauce to the boil,<br />

whisk to emulsify the oil, then<br />

taste and correct the seasoning.<br />

Drop in the orange segments.<br />

Spoon some of the sauce and<br />

orange segments over the meat<br />

on the platter and put the rest<br />

into a sauceboat.<br />

Strawberry trifle<br />

Serves 8<br />

Ingredients<br />

3 punnets strawberries<br />

3 tbsp sugar<br />

½ cup water<br />

1 sponge cake, cut into fingers<br />

3 tbsp Grand Marnier<br />

6 eggs<br />

160g sugar<br />

600ml milk<br />

1 vanilla bean<br />

300ml cream<br />

Wednesday <strong>November</strong> <strong>18</strong> <strong>2020</strong> <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong><br />

FOOD 29<br />

Directions<br />

Select about 12 of the best berries<br />

for the top. Put the rest in a<br />

saucepan with 3 tablespoons of<br />

sugar and the water.<br />

Bring to a gentle simmer, then<br />

cook for about 2min. Place the<br />

cut sponge pieces in the bottom<br />

of a clear glass bowl.<br />

Add the Grand Marnier and<br />

allow it to soak in. Ladle in the<br />

strawberries and juice.<br />

To make the custard, beat the<br />

egg yolks and sugar until light<br />

and thick.<br />

Heat the milk and vanilla bean<br />

in a heavy-based saucepan until<br />

almost boiling. Tip the hot milk<br />

onto the egg mixture in a bowl<br />

and stir well to combine.<br />

Rinse the pan that the milk<br />

was heated in, return it to the<br />

heat and strain the egg, sugar and<br />

milk mixture into it. Carefully<br />

reheat the custard, stirring constantly<br />

until the mixture thickens<br />

enough to coat the spoon.<br />

Do not let this boil, as the mixture<br />

will curdle. If the mixture<br />

starts to curdle around the edges,<br />

immediately remove from the<br />

heat and whisk vigorously until<br />

smooth.<br />

Once the custard is cool,<br />

tip it over the strawberries.<br />

Finally, lightly whip the cream<br />

then spread it over the custard.<br />

Decorate with reserved halved<br />

strawberries. Chill before serving.<br />

Looking after all your needs<br />

Pumps & Filters, in Halswell Junction Road, is the<br />

go to place for irrigation, pump and filter solutions<br />

for all your domestic or business needs whether it<br />

is increasing water pressure or saving energy.<br />

Instore there is an even larger range<br />

of irrigation products including<br />

nozzles, sprinklers and pop-ups as well<br />

as solenoids and a range of controllers<br />

including Bluetooth and wifi so you<br />

can turn your irrigation on and off<br />

remotely.<br />

For caravan and campervan owners<br />

and with summer holidays on the way<br />

Pumps & Filters has a range of 12v<br />

and 24v campervan pumps in stock.<br />

Back at home they can provide a<br />

solution with a under bench filtration<br />

system which means your glass of<br />

water will taste as it is meant to be<br />

rather than filled with nitrates.<br />

A low pressure shower is never good<br />

and is more common in older homes.<br />

One solution is a shower booster<br />

pump which is easily installed and can<br />

boost hot water pressure throughout<br />

the entire home.<br />

Saving energy is often on the top of<br />

land owners’ lists whether you have<br />

a lifestyle block or a small farm. The<br />

company has a range of household<br />

pumping options and brands to<br />

choose from providing constant water<br />

pressure. The energy savings come<br />

via inverter technology and they are<br />

suitable for both drinking water in<br />

domestic systems and for gardening<br />

applications.<br />

The company specialises in<br />

solutions, delivering a fast and efficient<br />

service to residential, commercial<br />

and industrial customers throughout<br />

HOME PROFESSIONALS<br />

Brighten up as the<br />

sun comes out<br />

The sun is out, summer is on its way<br />

and it feels great to be alive. It is also the<br />

perfect time to brighten up your own<br />

with just a few simple touches.<br />

The keys to a summer make-over to<br />

have fun, creating a vibrant look but also<br />

include all the senses by choosing from<br />

a huge range of candles and diffusers.<br />

Citrus or tropical scents help set the<br />

mood for summer or you might prefer<br />

florals, such as rose and lilac.<br />

Warmer weather calls for lighter<br />

window treatments, so take down the<br />

heavy drapes and replace them with<br />

something that says summer. Opting for a<br />

bamboo look or sheer gauze curtains give<br />

you both privacy but still allows light and<br />

air circulation.<br />

Bringing in natural elements helps lift<br />

the tone of your space, making it feel<br />

bright and airy. Try bringing in a few<br />

woven baskets to stash jandals or kids’<br />

outside gear. Bring in natural wood<br />

elements like cool candlesticks or bowls<br />

to freshen up your dining room table or<br />

driftwood as part of a coastal look.<br />

Tropical brights and designs also speak<br />

summer even if it just features on a couple<br />

of cushions for the couch or outdoor<br />

furniture or in a new duvet or throw.<br />

Add green by creating your own indoor<br />

garden with a fresh display of pot plants<br />

inside. Ferns and palm trees can refresh<br />

any room bringing the outside in and<br />

creating a contrast to plain walls. Have<br />

fun with the pots and use a different<br />

range of sizes to add interest.<br />

A new shower curtain can also brighten<br />

and add a new design dimension to your<br />

bathroom without a big investment in<br />

cost. Adding towels that match your new<br />

shower curtain will change the look of<br />

your bathroom almost effortlessly.<br />

Outdoor lights help create a wonderful<br />

mood and atmosphere to your outdoor<br />

space. Solar powered they can be<br />

anything from lights guiding people<br />

up a path way to a dazzling display of<br />

twinkling fairy lights in a tree. Think<br />

about some other options like uplights<br />

in certain spaces to really give a feel<br />

of occasion and magic when you are<br />

entertaining outside.<br />

Summer decorating can be fun and a<br />

great excuse to update your décor without<br />

going into debt. A few plants, a new duvet<br />

cover and cushions can make a huge<br />

impact of your home.<br />

Swimming pools<br />

make a big splash<br />

Swimming pools have made a<br />

huge splash in popularity this year<br />

as people look towards staying at<br />

home over the holidays rather than<br />

travelling overseas.<br />

Imagine the sound of laughter as family<br />

and friends enjoy splashing around in<br />

your own back yard. For a locally owned<br />

and operated swimming pool supplier and<br />

installer, look no further than Lagoon Pools<br />

who will make your dream come to life.<br />

“It has been so exciting this year to help<br />

add some joy into many households with a<br />

great pool choice and helping to create the<br />

ideal family gathering spot while holidaying<br />

at home” says Julie Hastings who owns<br />

Lagoon Pools with husband Warren.<br />

Lagoon Pools installs pools in sizes to suit<br />

both small and large sections, ranging from<br />

five metres to 12 metres in length with a<br />

variety of widths, colours and shapes. There<br />

really is a pool for any site.<br />

Lagoon Pools supplies 100 per cent<br />

composite fibreglass pools and, with<br />

patented innovations, every swimming pool<br />

is supported by their lifetime structural<br />

warranty and a lifetime osmosis warranty.<br />

Additional features including pool lighting,<br />

fountains, swim jets and spa jets etc which<br />

enhance the pool area transforming it into<br />

an extended living space where family and<br />

friends can relax, Julie says.<br />

It takes around five days to install a pool<br />

and the finishing touches can take from four<br />

to eight weeks depending upon the design.<br />

Not only does Lagoon Pools install the<br />

pool, they can offer the complete package<br />

including paving, decking, landscaping and<br />

fencing to ensure your entire pool area looks<br />

amazing.<br />

Julie and Warren say they are looking<br />

forward to next year and continuing<br />

installing beautiful pools for local residents<br />

and providing a professional and customerfocused<br />

service.<br />

SELWYN RURAL LIFE<br />

Potato dumping ripples across the planet<br />

European potato dumping is as<br />

damaging as importing milk into<br />

New Zealand for fifty cents a bottle,<br />

Sheffield mixed-crop grower Chris<br />

Judd says.<br />

The Ministry for Business<br />

Innovation and Employment<br />

(MBIE) trade remedies team is<br />

investigating the “proven threat” of<br />

surplus frozen fries being imported<br />

into New Zealand.<br />

The ministry’s move was based<br />

on information that Potatoes New<br />

Zealand (PNZ) provided in its<br />

Pandemic Industry Recovery Plan.<br />

Potatoes New Zealand says the<br />

disruption of supply chains, and<br />

particularly sales to hospitality,<br />

by virtue of Covid-19 restrictions,<br />

has led to huge surpluses of frozen<br />

fries in major production centres,<br />

particularly the European Union<br />

(EU). This has led to extraordinary<br />

surplus in frozen potato chips and<br />

processing tubers in the EU.<br />

In September, when Potatoes New<br />

Zealand made its recovery plan<br />

application to MBIE, the surplus in<br />

Europe was 1.5M tonnes. By <strong>November</strong><br />

it was estimated at 2.6M tonnes - and<br />

growing as a result of Covid lockdowns.<br />

“The concern for the NZ industry<br />

remains that along with the existing<br />

domestic impact of the pandemic<br />

crisis, any profiteering activity from<br />

overseas exporters, will in turn cause<br />

further damage to the New Zealand<br />

potato-growing and potato-processing<br />

industries,” Potatoes New Zealand says.<br />

Chris Judd grows process potatoes for<br />

Watties for use in baby food. Dumping<br />

would distort all sorts of New Zealand<br />

contracts and markets, he said.<br />

While he was not a large grower, product<br />

dumping would make it harder for<br />

everyone to survive, he said.<br />

“Every container of chips that comes in<br />

is going to impact what’s sold and what<br />

gets processed. Processors will say ‘right,<br />

your contract’s up. Say you’ve got 200<br />

tonnes left on your paddock. They’ll just<br />

say, ‘sorry we can’t have that because that<br />

this is our contract and we can’t move the<br />

rest of it’.”<br />

Once dumping started, growers would<br />

soon struggle to contract enough crop to<br />

be viable.<br />

“If these bigger operators can’t grow<br />

chips, they’ll be sneaking around trying<br />

to grab everyone else’s bits and pieces to<br />

make up their area,” he said.<br />

Ten growers might have 100ha each,<br />

which they needed to be economic.<br />

“If they get a 20% price reduction<br />

because there’s potatoes coming in,<br />

bigger growers will go hunting for<br />

everyone’s produce and they’ll have<br />

to undercut it to get the contract. All<br />

that does is reduce prices.”<br />

New Zealand was already well<br />

stocked with domestic potatoes,<br />

he said. “There’s probably enough<br />

freezers with New Zealand chips<br />

in them at the moment, so for<br />

the government to allow that<br />

(European) stuff to come in is just<br />

ridiculous. It’s like bringing milk in<br />

for fifty cents a bottle.”<br />

Inevitably, offshore dumping would<br />

force local growers to drop prices and<br />

dump product themselves. “The spud<br />

game’s tough enough as it is. But once<br />

you get under pressure from outside<br />

entries like that…There’s grower jobs,<br />

there’s transport, there’s fertilizer. It<br />

just goes on for ever and ever.”<br />

The value of the New Zealand<br />

potato industry value is just over $1<br />

billion dollars a year, with processed<br />

potatoes accounting for 55% of that value.<br />

All but 15% of all fries eaten in New<br />

Zealand are grown here and half of NZgrown<br />

fries produced are exported, at a<br />

total value of $100 million<br />

Potatoes New Zealand understands it<br />

may take up to six months for MBIE to<br />

investigate the European dumping claim.<br />

The U.S and Australia have also called for<br />

duties or actions to limit what they see as<br />

under-priced EU fry imports.<br />

Greendots restoration<br />

creates native ties<br />

From calls of “crazy” to planting 100,000<br />

native seedlings – Te Ara Kākāriki<br />

Greenway Canterbury has come a long<br />

way in just over a decade.<br />

The growing greenbelt corridor recently<br />

marked another special moment at Joyce<br />

Reserve in Glentunnel as the 100,00th<br />

seedling in <strong>Selwyn</strong> went to soil since the<br />

district-wide project started in 2009.<br />

Te Ara Kākāriki Greenway Canterbury<br />

Trust set out to create a series of ‘Greendots’,<br />

or small forests, linking the mountains to<br />

the sea and Te Waihora/Lake Ellesmere,<br />

providing habitat for indigenous birds and<br />

other wildlife. The 100th Greendot site in<br />

the district is expected to be planted by the<br />

end of this year.<br />

The trusts and guests including <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

mayor, Sam Broughton, and Minister<br />

for Conservation, Eugenie Sage, last<br />

month planted five tōtara to celebrate<br />

progress. Te Ara Kākāriki trust Greenway<br />

Canterbury Trust chair, Craig Pauling,<br />

said it was a story of vision, collaboration<br />

and perseverance, as originally most<br />

landowners and potential project funders<br />

thought the idea of planting new native<br />

was a bit crazy. The Canterbury Plains has<br />

less than 0.5% native coverage, so renewal<br />

looked an insurmountable challenge.<br />

“Funders only wanted to protect<br />

remnants, we wanted to add to them, to<br />

recreate the corridor that was there in the<br />

past,” Pauling said.<br />

Sage said getting to 100,000 trees was<br />

the result of an awful lot of hard work and<br />

she acknowledged the contribution of<br />

landowners, nurseries and everyone else<br />

involved in planting and subsequent care<br />

of the sites.<br />

Glentunnel School has been working<br />

with Te Ara Kākāriki at the Joyce Reserve<br />

Greendot for the past four years, building<br />

on the work of the Coalgate/Glentunnel<br />

Reserve Committee. The result of their<br />

combined labour is a mix of young and<br />

established native plantings, making for<br />

a stunning recreation and picnic spot<br />

just off State Highway 77 beside the<br />

Waikirikiri/<strong>Selwyn</strong> River.<br />

Glenntunnel students are among 16<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> schools taking part in this year’s<br />

Kids Discovery Plantout Programme –<br />

a series of activities teaching children<br />

about invertebrates and pest control,<br />

for example. The plantout scheme is a<br />

partnership between Te Ara Kākāriki,<br />

Enviroschools and Lincoln University.<br />

Te Ara Kākāriki also hosts three<br />

public planting days at a selection of<br />

Greendot sites each spring, as well as a<br />

small number of weekday plantings with<br />

corporate or staff groups.<br />

Landowners looking to restore part of<br />

their property back to native forest in<br />

2021 are encouraged to apply to Te Ara<br />

Kākāriki for native planting assistance.<br />

Help is available to any individual or<br />

group with a piece of land at least 1100m/<br />

sq that can grow native plants.<br />

GARDENING<br />

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />

CARE: Herbs thrive fully exposed to the sun. Hedges can be trimmed in <strong>November</strong>.<br />

Now is the time to get busy in the garden<br />

NOVEMBER HAS got to be one<br />

of the most enjoyable months for<br />

gardeners with prolific growth<br />

everywhere, lashings of colour<br />

and scents and plenty of tasks to<br />

keep busy.<br />

Houseplants<br />

Continue houseplant fertiliser<br />

applications throughout <strong>November</strong>.<br />

Take note of water requirements<br />

of the houseplants, as temperatures<br />

rise so does the need<br />

for increased watering. Flowering<br />

chrysanthemums are now available<br />

if you require a spectacular<br />

display of flowers indoors.<br />

Purchase them as their flowers<br />

are just beginning to open. Check<br />

plants regularly for any sign of insects<br />

or fungal diseases, if caught<br />

early these should not be a major<br />

problem.<br />

Vegetable garden<br />

All summer vegetables should<br />

be in active growth by now including<br />

beans, beetroot, cabbage,<br />

celery, corn, cucumber, courgettes,<br />

lettuce, peas, pumpkin,<br />

radish, spring onions, spinach,<br />

tomatoes, silverbeet.<br />

Ensure young, developing<br />

plants are well-watered, but be<br />

weary of overwatering. Continue<br />

to remove laterals and tie up<br />

tomato plants. Stagger plantings<br />

to extend harvesting time. Apply<br />

side dressings of vegetable fertiliser,<br />

especially to those ‘grossfeeders’<br />

e.g. sweet corn. Mulch<br />

around plants with pea straw to<br />

FRESH: All summer vegetables should now be in active<br />

growth.<br />

improve soil water retention and<br />

help reduce infestations of weeds.<br />

Summer flowering<br />

annuals<br />

Flowering annuals will now be<br />

in vigorous growth and producing<br />

early flowers. These include<br />

Alyssum, ageratum, arctotis,<br />

asters, cornflowers, cosmos, marigolds,<br />

nemesias, phlox, portulacas,<br />

and zinnias.<br />

Water regularly, especially when<br />

young seedlings are first planted.<br />

Summer flowering annuals can<br />

also be very successfully grown in<br />

large pots or containers.<br />

Herb garden<br />

As with vegetables and flowering<br />

annuals, all new season herbs<br />

should be growing vigorously by<br />

mid-<strong>November</strong>.<br />

It is now safe to plant basil as<br />

the chance of a very late frost is<br />

highly unlikely. Herbs thrive in<br />

a ‘fine’ well-drained soil, fully<br />

exposed to all day sun.<br />

Fruit trees<br />

All fruit trees are in full<br />

growth mode in <strong>November</strong> so<br />

continue to apply side dressings<br />

of fruit tree fertiliser to all<br />

trees, especially newly planted<br />

specimens.<br />

Irrigate deeply, mulch to<br />

reduce water loss suppress<br />

weeds. As mulch breaks down it<br />

will eventually improve the soil<br />

around the fruit trees as well.<br />

Strawberries<br />

Strawberry plants should be<br />

producing masses of ripe berries<br />

in <strong>November</strong> and plants require<br />

minimal care so more time for<br />

eating them! Cover strawberry<br />

beds with bed netting now as<br />

somehow birds always seem to<br />

find strawberry patches!<br />

Roses<br />

Another rewarding month for<br />

rose growers in the home garden.<br />

Many varieties are at their best<br />

in <strong>November</strong>! Continue deadheading<br />

finished flowers and apply<br />

rose fertiliser every 4-6 weeks<br />

until mid-December. Spread<br />

compost around roses to encourage<br />

healthy root growth.<br />

Hedges<br />

<strong>November</strong> is the perfect time<br />

for the first new season’s trim of<br />

hedges.<br />

A ‘little and often’ technique<br />

is recommended for maintaining<br />

a dense, bushy hedge. This is<br />

especially important with newly<br />

planted hedges. Water deeply and<br />

fertilise regularly to encourage<br />

vigorous growth.<br />

Lawns<br />

<strong>November</strong> is the last ‘safe’<br />

month to sow a new lawn or to<br />

patch up areas of an existing lawn<br />

before it becomes too hot and dry.<br />

Lawn fertiliser can be applied to<br />

encourage strong grass growth.<br />

Water immediately after spreading<br />

the fertiliser. Irrigate lawns<br />

when required to help maintain<br />

consistent grass growth.<br />

Ornamental trees and<br />

shrubs<br />

Prune young trees to encourage<br />

the development of a strong<br />

framework that will later support<br />

mature growth. Fertilise all plants<br />

regularly with general garden<br />

fertiliser.<br />

Mulch to prevent water loss<br />

over the hot summer months and<br />

help keep weeds at bay.<br />

Sound of thunder from V8 SUV<br />

THERE’S LITTLE doubt that<br />

the way we view automobiles is<br />

changing with a global demand<br />

for fuel efficiency and fewer<br />

emissions.<br />

Most manufacturers are<br />

looking at ways to address those<br />

issues, and that’s showing with<br />

an ever-increasing number of<br />

hybrids and electric vehicles<br />

reaching our market.<br />

I’m not rebelling against the<br />

electric revolution, but the reality<br />

is I’ll find it hard to give up my<br />

desire for internal combustion<br />

engines, and the bigger and<br />

more powerful they are, the<br />

better.<br />

Mercedes-Benz has already<br />

introduced an electric vehicle<br />

down under and the company<br />

is indicating more will arrive en<br />

masse.<br />

Where that leaves its big cars,<br />

and the big engines, I don’t know,<br />

but in the interim I can be very<br />

grateful that I’ve sampled some<br />

of the best engines to come out of<br />

Germany, as well as some of the<br />

most powerful.<br />

My latest foray into the highperformance<br />

driveline was in<br />

the AMG GLC 63S sport utility<br />

vehicle, a mid-size wagon that<br />

also comes in coupe-like form,<br />

both sharing the 4-litre, twinturbocharged<br />

V8.<br />

It’s a monster in terms of power<br />

outputs – 375kW and 700Nm –<br />

the latter available all of the way<br />

from 1750rpm to 4500rpm and,<br />

if you take into account peak<br />

power is on tap all of the way<br />

to 6250rpm, it’s no wonder I’m<br />

hooked.<br />

The GLC is a super-quick,<br />

high top speed wagon, and you’d<br />

expect nothing less from the<br />

performance arm of Mercedes-<br />

Benz. AMG claims a 3.8sec<br />

standstill to 100km/h acceleration<br />

time along with a governed<br />

250km/h top end.<br />

These figures are fantastic,<br />

making the GLC one of the<br />

quickest cars I’ve driven, and it<br />

does so in a way that you know<br />

you are travelling fast; even in<br />

standard mode the engine is<br />

quite audible, it bellows out of<br />

the exhaust and if you want extra<br />

sound a console-mounted pushbutton<br />

will increase the decibels.<br />

The 63S fairly thunders under<br />

acceleration.<br />

This engine is utilised in a wide<br />

FUNCTIONAL: A cavernous load area lies under the tailgate<br />

of the GLC 63S.<br />

MERCEDES-BENZ GLC AMG 63S: Speed and acceleration which is uncharacteristic for a<br />

sport utility vehicle.<br />

range of Mercedes-Benz product,<br />

and in some cases it drives<br />

through to the rear wheels<br />

only, delivering a true sports<br />

car feel, but the GLC has drive<br />

to all four wheels and that adds<br />

an element of reassurance. As a<br />

driver, you know that delivering<br />

that power to the ground is going<br />

to be channelled in a fashion<br />

that won’t catch you out with<br />

oversteer.<br />

If you also take into account<br />

the huge 21in wheels with<br />

massive tyres then grip levels<br />

are high. Even so, on my highcountry<br />

evaluation drive there<br />

were a couple of instances<br />

when I felt traction control<br />

complaining, such as powering<br />

out of a corner.<br />

Drive is channelled through<br />

a nine-speed automatic<br />

transmission, and there are<br />

varying drive modes that the<br />

driver can select or individualise<br />

to suit his/her driving style.<br />

Even in standard mode the<br />

engine management protocols<br />

are structured so that the driver<br />

can enjoy the V8 experience at<br />

all times; it rumbles and burbles<br />

away, tantalising with its response<br />

and urgency.<br />

• Price – Mercedes-Benz<br />

AMG GLC 63S, $<strong>18</strong>4,400<br />

• Dimensions – Length,<br />

4744mm; width,<br />

2090mm; height,<br />

1577mm<br />

• Performance –<br />

• Fuel usage – 12.2l/100km<br />

Not that it is a handful in lowspeed<br />

situations, the 63S<br />

has perfect inner-city manners,<br />

the combination of brawn<br />

and beauty is an engineering<br />

masterpiece.<br />

The GLC is a true SUV, it<br />

has a cavernous rear load area,<br />

and for five adults there is<br />

comfort in abundance. It is<br />

also built in the traditional<br />

Mercedes-Benz style that is high<br />

in luxury and specification,<br />

sharing the look and feel with a<br />

layout that is systematic across<br />

most of the Mercedes-Benz<br />

range.<br />

Column space doesn’t allow<br />

comprehensive detailing of the<br />

features and fitment. However,<br />

it’s fair to say the GLC wants for<br />

little and the interior is state-ofthe-art<br />

with all of the electronic<br />

goodies you’d want in a car<br />

that sits towards $200k. Yes, if<br />

you add in a lot of the options<br />

from Mercedes-Benz’s extensive<br />

catalogue of extras, the base price<br />

tag of $<strong>18</strong>4,400 could be well<br />

stretched.<br />

However, for my money the<br />

pleasure to be had from the<br />

fabulous bi-turbo engine would<br />

be well worth the outlay. And<br />

don’t go believing that it is going<br />

to overly create havoc with the<br />

environment, as, for all of its<br />

brute force, the GLC 63S has<br />

respectable fuel usage figures.<br />

AMG claims a 12.2-litre per<br />

100km combined cycle average,<br />

which sits well with the trip<br />

computer’s 12.8l/100km figure<br />

during my time in the car.<br />

I know for certain the drive<br />

in the GLC 63S won’t be my<br />

last in a V8, but I do know such<br />

opportunities will become fewer<br />

and further between.<br />

For those who feel like me, now<br />

is the time to buy before they face<br />

extinction.

IS THIS THE BEST LAND IN THE AREA?<br />

4ha 3 1 1<br />

It simply doesn’t get any better than this!<br />

545 East Maddisons Road is a truly unique property.<br />

Four hectares of land directly opposite the Lemonwood<br />

School, located on premium land, on the town boundary.<br />

This is an incredible location – adjacent to high quality<br />

housing many of which were the show homes.<br />

Opportunities to acquire large premium blocks of land are<br />

diminishing fast. This land is currently zoned Rural Inner<br />

Plans but it is also in the Urban Growth?<br />

Features:<br />

An established, owner operated business, is currently<br />

operating from the 240m² (approximately) workshop on<br />

the property. Other buildings include the spacious packing<br />

shed, the relocated three bedroom cottage and a three bay<br />

enclosed pole shed. There is an immense amount of storage.<br />

What is the potential for this property? We encourage you to<br />

do your own investigations into what could be an enviable<br />

investment.<br />

The owners are ready to embark on another project. Visit<br />

one of the frequent open homes or contact Shona to view by<br />

appointment.<br />

Prepare<br />

for Summer<br />

Throw open the windows and doors and<br />

invite the sunshine in with a few important<br />

chores to get you set for summer.<br />

With a few hot days last month, we are<br />

reminded that summer days are not far<br />

behind.<br />

Now is the time to prepare our homes,<br />

so by the time summer rolls around we can<br />

sit back and enjoy the fruits of our labour.<br />

Start indoors by throwing the windows<br />

and doors open to let in some fresh air.<br />

Clean the windows inside and out so you<br />

can admire your view across your garden.<br />

Replace your cosy winter flannel sheets<br />

and heavy duvet covers for lighter linens<br />

with a high thread count, and refresh your<br />

colour scheme with throws and scatter<br />

cushions in lighter, brighter hues for<br />

summery appeal.<br />

While you’re in the bedroom, reorganise<br />

your wardrobe by packing away winter<br />

outfits to make room for summer dresses<br />

and sandals. Dry cleaning woolen items<br />

before putting them into storage, and any<br />

cotton and synthetic fibres you store with<br />

them, will prevent moth damage.<br />

If you haven’t aired your guest bedroom<br />

since last year, this is a good opportunity<br />

to refresh this one as you have with the<br />

other bedrooms to save the mad rush as<br />

Christmas draws near.<br />

Refresh bathrooms with new towels<br />

in a splash of vibrant colour, ventilate by<br />

throwing the windows open and adding a<br />

plant beside the sink to filter the air. Look<br />

for plants with high purification levels, like<br />

snake plants, spider plants, English ivy and<br />

small-leafed rubber plants.<br />

Next room of attack is the kitchen.<br />

Empty out the freezer and defrost it<br />

completely. Now is the perfect time to<br />

throw out anything that has been in there<br />

over a year (less time for ground meat,<br />

chicken and leftovers), as frozen food<br />

loses flavour and texture over time, and<br />

will make precious room for ice cream<br />

and meat for the barbie. Ensure your<br />

fridge is in top working order by giving<br />

the condensing coils a thorough clean to<br />

remove dirt and lint.<br />

With barbeque season beckoning, now is<br />

the time to make sure you have all the BBQ<br />

essentials and that your BBQ has a full gas<br />

tank and is clean. If you have a charcoal<br />

grill, it pays to invest in an inexpensive<br />

chimney starter to quickly and safely<br />

light the coals, as using lighter fluid can<br />

permeate the taste of your food.<br />

While you are uncovering the barbie<br />

from the dark depths of the garage, you<br />

can say goodbye to the snow chains,<br />

shovels and skis, and make way for all your<br />

summer gardening and entertaining gear.<br />

Dust off the outdoor furniture and<br />

organise your garage, so when the next hot<br />

day arrives you’ll be all set to grab what<br />

you need to hit the beach.<br />

Give patios a good scrub with a broom<br />

and hot soapy water or hire a water blaster<br />

from your local home centre to do the job.<br />

While you are<br />

uncovering the<br />

barbie from the<br />

dark depths of the<br />

garage, you can say<br />

chains, shovels and<br />

for all your summer<br />

gardening and<br />

entertaining gear.<br />

Outdoor rooms<br />

Just because an outdoor space doesn’t have<br />

walls, that doesn’t change the basic principles<br />

applied to any design project inside your home.<br />

With a few simple<br />

fundamentals to guide you,<br />

you’ll soon see how easy<br />

it is to create a beautiful<br />

outdoor room you’ll love entertaining<br />

and relaxing in throughout the warm<br />

days and balmy nights of summer.<br />

Key considerations include style,<br />

function, lighting and mood. Remember<br />

that your outdoor room ought to be<br />

an extension of the look you’ve created<br />

within your home, which reflects your<br />

personality and lifestyle.<br />

Focal point<br />

Beginning, as with any room of the<br />

home, a space must always have a focal<br />

point to anchor the space. For some, this<br />

may be a bar or barbeque area, a large<br />

dining table, or a chill-out zone with<br />

couches or loungers.<br />

Outdoor fireplaces are becoming<br />

more and more popular as our living<br />

areas blend seamlessly between indoor<br />

and outdoor entertaining throughout<br />

the changing of the seasons. They can<br />

serve not only a practical purpose of<br />

somewhere to gather around to warm<br />

as the day turns to dusk and the nights<br />

get shorter, an outdoor fire can make<br />

a stunning feature or room divider for<br />

any outdoor living area. Water features,<br />

like a pond with beautiful koi fish, can<br />

also serve as a great outdoor focal point,<br />

creating tranquil environment in which<br />

to relax and unwind in, or create a<br />

meditative Japanese rock garden which<br />

your outdoor area can overlook.<br />

In the zone<br />

If you already have a large terrace or<br />

outdoor area, a blank canvas is a great<br />

place to start. If you have a particularly<br />

large outdoor area, dividing the space<br />

into zones makes for a more functional<br />

and aesthetically pleasing space. You can<br />

do this by using a number of different<br />

elements, such as contrasting flooring<br />

materials or by creating different levels<br />

of decking. However, if you’re after a<br />

seamless indoor/outdoor flow or wish to<br />

create the illusion of more space, use the<br />

same flooring materials indoors and out.<br />

Divisions can also be made with the<br />

clever positioning of furniture. Use<br />

modular seating to create walls and<br />

separate spaces. Plants are a cost effective<br />

and eco-friendly way to create divisions<br />

between zones, and are also an ideal way<br />

to camouflage ugly walls, create privacy<br />

and soften sharp angles. Living walls, an<br />

ever-increasingly popular vertical plant<br />

system, can be either freestanding to<br />

create different outdoor areas and can<br />

be on wheels to easily transform your<br />

outdoor space at a moment’s notice. Play<br />

with height and scale with various<br />

types of planters, whether you use<br />

hanging planters to draw the eye upwards,<br />

or oversized planter pots to add drama.<br />

Go with the flow<br />

Creating a great indoor/outdoor flow is<br />

easily created by opening up your kitchen<br />

with bifold doors or windows to create a<br />

servery or bar area for easy entertaining.<br />

If you are building your home from the<br />

ground up, you may want to design an<br />

outdoor room which lies at the epicentre<br />

of the building, with rooms opening onto<br />

the communal courtyard with bifold<br />

doors.<br />

Function over form<br />

Consider what you intend to use your<br />

outdoor space for. If you don’t plan on<br />

eating outside, there’s no need for a dining<br />

table, but buy some comfortable outdoor<br />

seating instead. If you only intend on<br />

sitting outdoors during the evening,<br />

then don’t waste money on awnings and<br />

umbrellas, and invest the money in an<br />

outdoor fireplace which you will actually<br />

use.<br />

Atmosphere<br />

Create unique and personalised outdoor<br />

decor with textiles and homewares from<br />

your travels or your favourite antique<br />

shop, or make your own shell garlands or<br />

wreaths from beach holidays. String up<br />

fairy lights or lanterns to create a festive<br />

mood in the evenings.<br />

Buying off the<br />

plan – what you<br />

need to know<br />

Buying off plan requires all the same due diligence<br />

and care as buying an existing property.<br />

Buying a brand new home off the plans<br />

can seem extremely attractive, especially<br />

if you’re struggling to find a property that<br />

meets all your needs. If you decide to go<br />

down this route it is absolutely crucial<br />

to enter the process with your eyes wide<br />

open. Reading the fine print – starting<br />

with the photo caption advising you that<br />

‘some images are an artist’s impression’ –<br />

is just the beginning.<br />

There are many benefits to buying off<br />

a plan. Not only are you signing up for<br />

a new home that should meet all the<br />

latest building specifications, but you are<br />

buying something at a set price with an<br />

initially low outlay. A long settlement<br />

period (while the development is<br />

completed) gives you time to get your<br />

finances in order. In theory, if the market<br />

remains buoyant then the property will<br />

increase in value over this period so you<br />

will be getting more than what you paid<br />

for at the outset.<br />

However, the process is not without<br />

risks, says chief executive of the Real<br />

Estate Agents Authority (REAA).<br />

“If the market falls, then you may<br />

Thinking of Building?<br />

Come on over... and be inspired.<br />

encounter problems if you try to sell.<br />

Also, the property may not meet your<br />

expectations and the build may take<br />

longer than expected. You are entirely<br />

reliant on the developer, so you are at<br />

risk if their business fails and/or the<br />

development is on-sold to another<br />

company.”<br />

Buying off plan requires all the same<br />

due diligence and care as buying an<br />

existing property.<br />

“Start by putting in some solid<br />

research”.<br />

“Don’t be swayed by pre-sale sweeteners<br />

and flash show homes that may bear<br />

little resemblance to the actual finished<br />

product. Do your homework about the<br />

developer and the construction firm –<br />

find out what their track records are,<br />

examine their credentials and look at<br />

any previous developments they have<br />

been involved in. Remember that you<br />

are giving these people your hard-earned<br />

money and you need to be confident that<br />

they will deliver the goods.”<br />

Generally, buying off a plan means<br />

providing a deposit upfront to secure the<br />

Ravenswood<br />

property. The remainder of the money<br />

is due on completion, but you will have<br />

to prove that you have the finance from<br />

the outset. While the long lead-in period<br />

provides time to save money, there is<br />

also a risk that interest rates may go up<br />

or lending criteria may change. Discuss<br />

these issues with your bank or financial<br />

advisor to make sure you are prepared if<br />

the situation changes.<br />

“If a real estate agent is involved<br />

in selling properties in a proposed<br />

development, they can help you navigate<br />

the process”.<br />

It’s also important to engage a lawyer<br />

to help you understand all the details of<br />

the sale and purchase agreement and any<br />

covenants on the title. These may extend<br />

to the ‘look and feel’ of a development or<br />

new subdivision, and include restrictions<br />

regarding fences, landscaping, exterior<br />

colour and cladding choices and may<br />

even include car parking rules for you or<br />

your visitors.<br />

Developers will approach selling off<br />

Promote your<br />

Showhome throughout<br />

Christchurch and the<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> District<br />

plans in many different ways. Some<br />

contracts are designed to allow the buyer<br />

to choose their own floor plan; others<br />

may allow the developer to change the<br />

layout without checking first. Every<br />

detail of the property, from the expected<br />

timeline to the finishes used, must be<br />

spelled out in the contract.<br />

It is vital to get legal advice before<br />

signing anything.<br />

“If you don’t go through these details<br />

very carefully before you sign you may<br />

be in for some unpleasant surprises later.<br />

Remember to check the contract to see<br />

if there is a ‘sunset clause’ that specifies<br />

what will happen if the development is<br />

not finished in time. Don’t forget to ask<br />

what will happen if the developer goes<br />

into liquidation and the project is sold to<br />

another company. The last thing you want<br />

is for your dream home, not to mention<br />

your deposit, to vanish into thin air.”<br />

Award-winning<br />

quality builds<br />

in <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

‘The Wanaka’ is the show stopper<br />

of the Architectural series and<br />

the most downloaded plan.<br />

The team at Hallmark Homes build high-quality homes<br />

at affordable prices. And they’re homes that are accessible to<br />

everyone from first home buyers to those taking on a oncein-a-lifetime<br />

architectural build. Whatever your stage in the<br />

building process, working with someone you trust is a must.<br />

Building during a pandemic<br />

recovery<br />

Since the COVID lockdown, and the relaxed lending<br />

restrictions that resulted, there’s been a huge demand for new<br />

home builds. Throw in the HomeStart grant and it’s more<br />

affordable than ever to step onto the property ladder—with<br />

a brand-new home. Hallmark Homes offers tiered plans<br />

that are matched to your budget so there are no financial<br />

blowouts and, with over 30 years in home building, they<br />

know what they are doing. When asked why they are so<br />

trusted by their clients, Sales Manager Esther Bonne says:<br />

“Because we listen.” They have a project management team<br />

who make your life as easy and as stress-free as possible.<br />

With online programs designed for access anytime,<br />

anywhere, and a pro-active team always looking out for<br />

potential roadblocks, the fact that they listen to what you<br />

want, and need, is a crucial service.<br />

The Hallmark choice<br />

Esther also says that buyers are coming from all over the<br />

country, places like Auckland, Dunedin and Nelson. This<br />

echoes sentiments from local real estate agents and shows<br />

that the region is a great buy and a solid investment for your<br />

future. Hallmark Homes is also on board with Homestar,<br />

ensuring that your new home is warmer, drier and healthier.<br />

It also means you are actively reducing your carbon footprint,<br />

so it’s win-win. And you only need to read their website<br />

testimonials to understand the experience you’ll have as their<br />

customer, and that includes a truckload of transparency—<br />

there are no surprises.<br />

So if you’re ready to jump in the deep end and build that<br />

forever home, call one of their new home consultants on<br />

0508 442 556 or visit their show home at 162 Southfield<br />

Drive, Te Whariki, Lincoln.<br />
