Darfield
Darfield is a thriving rural town about
35 kilometres west of Christchurch
and 26 kilometres north west of
Rolleston. Originally known as White
Cliffs Junction and later as Horndon
Junction, the town’s name was
changed in 1879 to avoid confusion
with nearby Hornby Junction.
Darfield was named after the original
Darfield in Yorkshire, England, with
the name meaning “field frequented
by deer” or deer field.
Darfield is an administrative and
commercial centre situated in the centre
of the arable and pastoral farmlands of
the Canterbury plains, with surrounding
settlements including Kirwee, Charing
Cross, Hororata, Coalgate, Glentunnel
and Sheffield. Straddling the Great Alpine
Darfirld Clock Tower
Highway (State Highway 73), Darfield is
the main town between Christchurch and
Arthur’s Pass and the West Coast. It is a
gateway to the Southern Alps with its
ski fields, lakes and hiking trails, and is
also a stop on the TranzAlpine rail route
between Christchurch and Greymouth.
The town has all the services and facilities
you would expect and a few more besides,
including one of only three hospitals and
one of the four high schools in the
Selwyn district.
Darfield is known as “The Township
Under the Nor’west Arch” in reference
to a characteristic arch of white cloud
that forms in otherwise clear skies
over the Southern Alps. This weather
phenomenon occurs when the northwesterly
wind drives moist air over the
Southern Alps from the west, resulting
in relief rainfall on the West Coast, a

band of condensation visible above the
mountains and the hot and dry Nor’wester
wind well known to Cantabrians.
Unlike many rural settlements across
the country, Darfield’s population has
increased over recent years and now sits
at around 3,000 people. This is thanks
to growth in the local economy, a strong
sense of community and partly due to
it being within commuting distance of
Christchurch, bolstered by migration
from Christchurch to surrounding areas
following the earthquakes of 2010 and
2011. Darfield was close to the centre
of the 7.1 magnitude earthquake of 4
September 2010, with the Greendale Fault
lying just south of the town. There was
significant damage to buildings in the
area, but thankfully no loss of life.

There are a wide variety of activities in
and around the town. McHughs Forest
Park is a favourite with locals and visitors
alike. This 43-hectare recreational reserve
is on the north-west end of town, with the
main entrance and carpark on Horndon
Street just 1.5km from the town centre.
The reserve is bike and dog-friendly,
with a number of flat walking and biking
tracks that weave through the forest.
Originally established in 1893 as a conifer
plantation providing timber to the area,
McHughs Forest Park contains a variety of
Douglas-fir and other large trees. Thanks
to Darfield Menzshed, there are dozens
of magical creatures roaming the forest
and spotting the many fairy doors on the
enchanted path makes this a wonderful
walk for kids.
Two town walks of about an hour each
start at the Clock Tower, taking in the
town’s scenery and history, including
churches, reserves, parks and memorials
and sweeping views of the Southern Alps.
These easy walks are child and dogfriendly.
The Darfield Farmers Market takes place
every Saturday morning on the main
street, with stalls offering fruit, vegetables,
baking and fresh food, as well, as local
arts and crafts. The Te Huanui Art Gallery
is a modern community gallery that
showcases a wide variety of local and
New Zealand art by established and
emerging artists, open Tuesday to Sunday.
Westview Park (opposite the 4 Square)
has a great modern playground and the
historic Homebush Rail Station has been
relocated and restored here.
The town offers a range of restaurants,
cafés and takeaways to meet your
culinary needs and the delightful gift
stores along the main road are worth
popping into. There is a variety of
accommodation on offer and plenty of
outdoor and adventure activities in the
surrounding area too. Darfield is well
worth a visit when you are next in the
area. Put aside a few hours to explore the
town, enjoy a meal or spend the night!

Nicola’s Notes
Who could believe we are halfway
through the year already?
Halfway through the year and I am
astounded at the sheer number of
community events that groups and
organisations across Selwyn have already
played host to. I have been fortunate enough
to have been invited to attend all sorts of
different events and functions – from the
Rolleston Colour Fun Run, to the Selwyn
Kids Day out, the Leeston Fete, the Malvern
Show, the Kirwee Field Days, the Lions
Convention opening, the West Melton school
fete and a range of ANZAC services –
to name but a few!
It seems there is some form of event,
fundraiser, meeting or gathering just about
every day of the week to address or serve
a purpose or a cause – and that, to me,
speaks volumes for the deeply connected
community we are all part of. In times of
stress and adversity, as the border closure
continues to grind on, it’s heartening to see a
vast array of groups and organisations step
up to meet a vast array of need.
I’ve popped into the Cancer Society’s
Daffodil House in Rolleston recently to meet
just a couple of the hundreds of volunteers
who drive patients to and from treatment in
the city, who sit with them and who drink
cups of tea with them. It all helps. Then
there’s the Selwyn Prostate Cancer Support
Group who meet monthly to give cancer
sufferers and their families a forum to share
stories, ask questions and find answers.
The Selwyn Parenting Network has been
established to help parents and caregivers
in need of support and resources and is
fast becoming a navigation hub for families
needing access to services.
Speaking of a need for services, I’d
particularly like to acknowledge the Rural
Support Trust and the work they’re doing
with east coast farmers gripped by drought,
including a number battling it out on Banks
Peninsula. The north Canterbury branch,
which services rural communities in Selwyn,
is set up to assist individuals and their
families facing challenging circumstances
– whether financial, personal or weatherrelated.
They’re partially funded by the
Government to provide the services they
do, but the rest is scraped together by
fundraising.
The same goes for our local St Johns
ambulances – last month I took part in a
charity golf game in Lincoln to raise money
to support the service and its operations.
Little did I know my appalling short game
would be relied upon to provide some
much-needed support – as of late last year
the charity was staring down a $30 million
nationwide funding shortfall.
Local real estate agents are often seen
organising food drives to keep local food
banks stocked and Lions and Rotary Clubs
across the district are regularly fundraising
for one cause or another.
Everywhere I turn, groups and individuals
are pouring in time and effort to support
those who support the rest of us.
A great chance to recognise outstanding
not-for-profits and community organisations
is the biennial Selwyn Awards where the
Community Volunteering Award is especially
dedicated to those working to improve the
quality of life of others living in our district.
I’m looking forward to the opportunity to
celebrate those who step up for the rest of
us. That celebration will be so thoroughly
deserved.

growth in the district, many small

BuildLink Selwyn
Small Town Friendliness with City
Pricing.
Dave Lemon, the owner of BuildLink
Selwyn, grew up locally in Killinchy
near Leeston. After 20 years working in
Christchurch in the building industry he
moved back to Leeston in 2012. After
putting in a couple of years, he was
again whisked back into the big city life.
When the company he had worked for
moved to Rolleston, it left Leeston and
surrounding areas without a building
supplies store. Dave was presented
with the opportunity of starting his own
retail building supplies store in Leeston.
Unsure of whether this was what he
wanted, a discussion with his then
12-year-old daughter in the car on the
way back from a holiday proved to be
the catalyst to him starting up.
BuildLink is a valuable asset to local
builders, farmers and DIY enthusiasts
in the area. Being a member of a cooperative
building group that leverages
the combined buying power of their
members, they are able to source
product from their suppliers at bulk
prices. That combined with being locally
owned and operated means you get
friendly, professional service from local
experts and the most competitive prices.
Dave strongly believes in not only
offering a caring service, but also giving
back to the community. They sponsor a
number of clubs and charities in Leeston
and Christchurch, including the local
tennis club, rugby club, Selwyn Lions
Golf Tournament, the Special Children’s
Christmas Party as well as the Ellesmere
A&P Association.
Dave’s philosophy of “Make Stuff
Happen” has been a key reason for his
incredible success in the new business.
In just three years it has grown beyond
his wildest expectations. In 2019 the
BuidLink Selwyn team won the BuildLink
attitude award. Following on from that,
his success was recognised again by
BuildLink in 2020 when his business (out
of about 50 stores nationwide) won the
annual Supreme Award. If you ever ask
Dave about this success and recognition
he will most likely tell you, it was not
him, it was his team and his customers
who won the awards.

Lion Hill Limited
What makes your business successful?
Great product or service. Strong customer
and supplier relationships. Robust finance.
The first two components are relatively selfexplanatory.
Finance is the area where most small
business hit a roadblock. Reasons are
different: finance may be too hard, too
boring, or too overwhelming. The reality is,
profitability is important, cash is crucial and
paying the right amount of taxes is part of
being a successful business. The outcome of
neglecting finances is not good: hamstrung
growth, missed opportunities, or in some
cases going out of business.
We are Lion Hill Limited, an online,
Selwyn-based public accounting practice.
Finance is our specialty.
You will benefit the most from our services
if you have an established business that is
growing too big or fast for you to attend to
the finance properly.

You take care of delivering a great product or
service and we will take care of finance:
• Deal with your annual accounts and tax
compliance (did I pay the right amount of the
right tax at the right time?)
• Help you with financial reporting (what
are my financial results? How do I do the
forecasts and budgets?)
• Guide you on bigger financial decisions
(should I buy or lease that truck? Should I
take a loan or do hire purchase? Should I
bring new investors on board)?
Like many of our clients, we are a family
business. The founders and directors,
Firangiz Radcliffe and Jamil Eldar, are
siblings and our senior manager Andrea
Eldar is Jamil’s wife. We have young families
with kids under five (we would say yes to
meeting over a coffee!) and we call Rolleston
our home. We understand what it takes to
run a family business – the fun, the ups and
downs and most importantly the true passion
for what you do that fuels all that hard,
tireless work.
How do you know you will get a great service
from us?

CPA Australia and CAANZ;

Resure Insurance Advisers
For Resure founder Jordan Clemence,
providing insurance cover is about
more than writing policies; it’s a way
to help Kiwis protect the things they
care about and deliver exceptional
customer experiences along the way.
Jordan is a proud Dad and owned a
hospitality business before starting
Resure, so he knows just how
important it is to protect your family,
home and income.
After seeing an opportunity to improve
customer experiences in the insurance
industry, Jordan started Resure with his
star administrator Sarah. The company
quickly grew and Resure now has five
financial advisors and two administrators.
Resure are independent advisors, meaning
they can compare what’s on offer from
all the insurance companies and provide
tailored cover to suit your lifestyle, family
and budget. They’ll also support you when
you need to make an insurance claim,
which is where Resure’s advisors really go
above and beyond. Jordan says this is the
most important part of their role; if you’re
claiming on your insurance, chances are
you’re already in a stressful situation.
Having someone on your side, who can
speak to your insurance company on your
behalf and make sure you get the right
outcome, removes extra stress during a
SELWYNConnection PAGE 7
challenging time.
Through Resure, Jordan also hopes to
educate people about their insurance
options and help them take a more
proactive approach to insurance. He says
Kiwis generally take out insurance at
touch-points – when they buy their first
house, have children, or when something
happens to a friend or family member.
Having cover in place before these
milestones gives you peace of mind and
can save time and money in the long run.
There’s no cost to using an insurance
advisor and because Resure can compare
policies from a range of providers, clients
often end up saving money on their
premiums.
If you’ve been wondering about your
insurance options, have a chat with Jordan
and the team. It’s completely obligationfree
and you’ll get the advice you need to
protect the things that matter.

Your Winter Heating – A Few Tips
Here are a few tips to help keep your
fire healthy and you safe during the
winter season:
Plan ahead. Order your fire wood early –
many dealers have good prices in summer,
particularly before Christmas for the earlybirds
and savings can be made. If you can,
leave the wood out in the sun, or stack in
a sunny place where there is good airflow
to allow air to circulate and dry the wood
further.
Routine maintenance checks.
If you have an existing fire it is imperative
that your fire is checked annually, both
inside and out and during winter that you do
a quick visual inspection each day as you
light it. This is for your safety and ensures
it will continue to perform as well as it
did when first installed. Checking the fire
bricks, air tubes, door and glass ropes is as
important as having the flue cleaned.
Things to look for
• Cracked bricks: hairline cracks are okay
to continue to use however it is a warning
to replace them soon. Where there are large
cracks the fire should not be used until they
are replaced.
• Air seeming to suck or flames emanating
from around the door or window is a sign
that the door and glass seals are not
working. These need to seal tight. If the fire
gets too much air, while it might be burning
hot, it is also risking over-heating, so it is
time to have the seals replaced.
• Displaced/missing bricks and (top)
baffles should be replaced immediately. To
continue to use your fire without these risks
damaging the fire box from over-heating
and is a fire risk to your home due to the
excessive heat coming off the fire.
• Birds in the flue are not an immediate
issue but their nest building could be...
Get your flue cleaned and have a bird net
installed.
• Cracks in the fire box: it might seem
logical not to use your fire however logic
doesn’t come naturally to everybody...
• Rust and bulging at the base of the flue
is a sign that the flue steel is compromised
and needs replacing with some urgency.
• Glowing flues are generally a sign of the
flue being overheated and blocked and that
a chimney fire is either in progress or about
to happen. This is an emergency situation.
One of the fastest ways to put it out is to
quick soak a roll of loo paper under the tap
and to drop it in the fire, the steam it gives
off will assist with putting out the fire. If in
doubt, call the fire brigade immediately.
• Using your fire: depending on where you
live and what sort of fire you have there
are differences in how your fire can and
should be used... some fires can be turned
down lower than others however it is worth
noting that just because it can be turned
down doesn’t mean it should be all the
time. Fires that spend a lot of time turned
down will typically require the flue cleaned
more often than one regularly used on full.
This is because when the fire is burning
cooler it does not draw as well and the
heavier emissions catch on the flue sides
and build up. A regular hot burn can take
care of some of this but not all. A fire used
on high will always burn cleaner.

Avoid Before And
After Renovation
Disaster
Fixed price
How often do you hear about amazing
home contracts transformations that are soon
followed by the phrase “completely
blew the budget”? I’m tired of hearing
the renovation horror stories that end
in crippling debt and unfinished work.
Let’s put a plan in place to get you
the home of your dreams without the
doom and gloom of overspending.
Here are my first three tips:
1. Define your ‘why’.
Write a list of the reasons why you wanted
to take on this project in the first place.
Perhaps you’ve simply outgrown your
current home and you need bigger living
areas and more storage. Maybe you’re after
open plan living to better suit the family.
List as many reasons as you can and be
very specific.
2. What do you want?
Write a list of everything you want in your
renovation, if the sky was the limit for your
budget, what would you include. I’m talking
high ceilings, shiny new appliances and a
large outdoor deck.
3. Prioritise.
Now let’s put those ideas to work, we
need to put our practical pants on and go
through and prioritise these points. What do
we actually need right now and what would
be nice to have. Put these points into order
of priority.
Fantastic work, you are well on your way to
having
With
a very well
you,
thought out renovation.
The Right next topic through
we discuss is your budget,
more importantly, over capitalisation. This is
where the wheels can start falling off when
it comes to planning. I have put together a
free ultimate renovation checklist for this
exact purpose which walks you through
how you can increase the value of your
home without blowing the budget. You can
download it from our website.

Tip The Balance In Favour
Of Winter Wellness
Whilst many people cope well with the
shorter darker days of winter, feeling
little effect, some will notice a drop
in energy, change in motivation and
altered sleep patterns. For others, the
effects extend much further and can be
debilitating.
If you know this to be true for yourself, now
is a great time to get proactive, performing
a “lifestyle audit”.
Here are my top suggestions:
1 Look at where your stressors are.
Is there anything you can shift?
Exercise: do you need to rethink overall
load/type/intensity/frequency?
Work: are there any subtle changes you
could make to reduce stress?
Home life: household chores, parenting
etc… is there anything you could do more
efficiently? Or ask someone else to help
with?
2 Sleep: in order to help align your
environment with your internal biology a
little better, it would be good to turn the
telly off, put computers and phones away
earlier and head to bed with some soft
light and a good book.
3 Diet: Perhaps pulling back on some of
the “extra’s” you can get away with in
summer? How about your intake of fresh
fruit and veggies – the whole seasonal
rainbow load? Personally, I CRAVE raw
salads and slaws during winter. Weird I
know, but studies do show a link between
raw vegetable and fruit intake and feelings
of increased vitality and flourishing.
Are you meeting your protein
requirements? I would suggest that if
you are someone with mood related
symptoms you need somewhere in the
range 1.5-2 grams/kg of body weight,
divided evenly across the day, with a
decent hit at breakfast time.
4 Sunlight: How can you incorporate more
natural light into your day? Especially in
the morning. Without sunglasses. Even on
the darkest of winter days the strength
of the light outside exceeds that of the
brightest indoor artificial lighting.
5 Consider nutritional supplements:
a really good quality multivitamin
supplement (the sort you purchase
through a health practitioner not those
sold over the counter), Vitamin D+K2
(Clinicians does a good one) and possibly
a high strength Omega 3 supplement
(again, to be sure of the quality hunt out a
practitioner who can recommend one or
do your research).
6 Finally, if you know this area is a
challenge for you, do talk to your doctor.
Rather than finding yourself at the bottom
of the cliff needing a (metaphorical)
ambulance, it could be better to
supplement your healthy lifestyle practices
with a little, low dose medication.

What Is Osteopathy?
Osteopaths use a variety of
techniques to help correct abnormal
physical conditions which include
back and neck pain, headache,
physical injuries to bones, joints and
muscles and many other physical
and functional disorders.
A wide variety of treatment techniques
are used, tailored to each person’s needs,
which could include manipulation and
mobilisation to joints and soft tissues,
muscle energy stretches and cranialsacral
therapy. The Osteopath will
use appropriate treatment, after fully
assessing the patient.
Osteopaths are front line health
professionals and work with other
registered health professionals including
general practitioners, specialists and
radiologists to provide the best service to
their patients.
Osteopaths are able to treat ACC claims
patients without referral from a medical

doctor and refer for X-rays and to other
health professionals if required.
What is the history?
Osteopathy was born in the 1870s in
the USA, before even the discovery of
penicillin. The founder of osteopathy,
Dr Andrew Taylor Still MD, stated that:
“Osteopathy is based on the perfection
of Nature’s work. When all parts of the
human body are in line, we have health.
When they are not the effect is disease.
When the parts are readjusted disease
gives place to health. The work of the
Osteopath is to adjust the body from
the abnormal to the normal; then the
abnormal condition gives place to the
normal and health is the result of the
normal condition.”

Unique & Treasured – The Growing
Impact Of Selwyn Parenting Network
When a pro-active group of parents
came together in 2011, little did
they know they were establishing
the foundations of a charitable
organisation which would grow far
beyond their wildest expectations.
A post-quake parenting course
propagated the seeds for a
grassroots parenting organisation
and a decade on a vast meadow of
growth blankets Selwyn as we have
fast become a unique and treasured
‘go-to’ signpost in the lives of many.
Selwyn Parenting Network (SPN) is
an organisation that has family and
community at its’ heart; we’ve worked
hard to foster collaborations with likeminded
organisations, in turn raising our
collective impact in the community.
Our common goal is clear: Empowering
parents, families and caregivers of
children of ALL ages; ensuring that
everyone has access to resources,
regardless of demographic or
circumstance. Our work over the past 10
years has encouraged others to learn,
play, connect and thrive through our
collaborations, networks, family events,
educational experiences and digital
platforms. It’s been a model that has
served us well in establishing our vision
for confident, caring and connected
families; maintaining an educative and
supportive district wide network is key.
Exponential growth in Selwyn means
that our focus must remain on providing
accessible pathways to all services
needed by parents, caregivers, families,
children and youth and we truly welcome
all organisations to collaborate in any way
they feel they can. Through organisations
truly putting action to their core values
around community and wellbeing, we can
all make a difference.
Parenting is not easy; many of us learn
strengths that we never knew we had
and realise fears we never knew existed.
But with the right supports, connections
and networks underpinned by community
connectedness, we don’t have to face it
alone. As the old proverb goes, it takes a
village to raise a child.

Selwyn’s Funniest Pet Photo Competition Winners
Here are the six winners of our Selwyn’s Funniest Pet Photo competition. The many entries were narrowed down to 27
finalists and then people voted for their favourites on our Selwyn Connect Facebook page. A huge thanks to all those
who entered and voted! All six winners will each receive a $20 voucher from The Lincoln Pantry, a pet-friendly, quirky
café and boutique grocery store on Eastfield Drive, Lincoln serving the best organic coffee and nutritious cabinet foods.
Owner Vanessa Winchester (Kirwee)
Here is my almost 20-year-old horse, Barney,
munching on an apple. Which in turn means you get
covered in apple juice. Love this photo because he
looks like he’s laughing at me!
Owner Nicola Woodward (Lincoln)
Fonzie is a doggy entrepreneur. CEO (Cainine
Executive Officer for Little Paws in Lincoln), dog
model, published author, cuddle monster and Scooby
snack tester. At the end of the day he collapses on
the couch!
Owner Ellen Rose (Southbridge)
Dobby is a four-month-old grey possum who I have
had since he was just a pink hairless wee baby. He
is a super quirky character who will eat absolutely
anything. He loves zooming around the room over
everything and sitting on people’s heads!
Owner Aimee Taylor (Rolleston)
Poppy (small dog) is 11 years old and Willow is eightmonths-old.
Willow is being an annoying younger
sibling in this photo.
