Driveway explosion burns
like White Island eruption
• By Susan Sandys
DARFIELD 60-year-old Kevin
Burney faces a long recovery
after receiving burns to 70 per
cent of his body in an accident
at his home.
Burney has been in a critical
but stable condition in intensive
care at Middlemore Hospital,
where medical personnel told
his family they had not seen
burns as serious since treating
victims of the Whakaari/White
Island volcanic eruption.
His son Marcus and fellow
family members put Burney’s
survival so far down to his
fitness and determination.
His mum Amanda had flown
to Auckland to be by her
husband’s side.
“He’s a very tough, stoic
person, and that’s probably the
reason why he’s survived to this
date, because of the way he is,”
Marcus said.
“There’s still a lot of
unknowns, as doctors and
surgeons have said to us we
have to take it day by day.”
Marcus was asleep at the
house where he lives with
his parents in Darfield when
the accident happened about
5.15pm on April 2.

That’s what has got Kevin

Synthetic Nitrogen Fertiliser Limit
What farmers need to do
To help protect and improve our waterways,
a limit now applies to the amount of
synthetic nitrogen fertiliser applied to
pastoral land. This was introduced as part
of the Essential Freshwater package.
Carefully managed, fertiliser is a useful
farming tool. However, it can contribute
to nutrient loss into soil and waterways,
impacting water quality and in-stream life.
All farmers
• The amount of synthetic nitrogen fertiliser
you apply to pastoral land cannot exceed
190 kilograms of nitrogen per hectare
per year
Dairy farmers
• Report your synthetic nitrogen fertiliser
use to Environment Canterbury annually
• Submit your first report by 31 July 2022 -
we’ll be in touch soon about how to do this
We’re here to help

A $100 MILLION upgrade of
the Pines Wastewater Treatment
Plant at Rolleston will happen
sooner than expected due to the
district’s booming population.
The district council has
budgeted $9 million in its draft
2022/2023 Annual Plan – which
is out for public consultation
until May 19 –
to cover initial
designs and
improvements.
Group
manager
infrastructure
Murray
Washington said
the plant was
designed to expand ahead of
anticipated growth. This growth
was now exceeding previous
expectations due to an increase
in private plan change requests
following the introduction
of government legislation to
encourage housing.
“The upgrades are being
brought forward ahead of the
private plan changes that have
been approved and to ensure,
as we have down the years, that
the pines has capacity ready for
when it is needed,” Washington
said.
The upgrade project is called
Pines 120K, referring to its goal
of increasing the plant’s capacity
from 60,000 to 120,000 people.
“Each stage of the Pines 120K
plan is set to happen when the
population reaches a certain
level and the expected growth

has now reached the level to
begin the next stage.”
Washington said the plant
currently services a base of about
45,000 population equivalents
in the Prebbleton, Lincoln,
Springston, Rolleston, Burnham
Military Camp and West Melton
areas. Construction of a sewage
pipeline from Darfield and
Kirwee to the plant is currently
under way, while a sewage
pipeline from Ellesmere and
Upper Selwyn Huts to the plant
is also planned.
The $9 million budgeted
for the coming financial year
is to be spent on inlet works,
mechanical fit out, irrigation
pump upgrades, sludge
digester upgrades, additional
de-watering centrifuge, solar
hall capacity upgrade, and new
boiler and pipework.
Washington said Pines 120K
will be funded predominantly by
developer contributions. These
are paid by land developers
to cover costs borne by the
district council in building or
expanding facilities necessitated
by the relevant growth.
When asked whether there
has been any operational issues
at the plant in recent years
Washington said: “Nothing
beyond expected routine
maintenance for a plant of this
nature.
“Pines is a well-functioning
and effective facility and the
planning we have in place
through Pines 120K means we’re
ready for future capacity,” he
said.

TWO INJURED IN CRASH
The Leeston Volunteer Fire
Brigade was called to a car crash
on Leeston Rd about 1.50pm
on Tuesday last week. Chief
Greg Wheeler said a small

collided head on. The drivers
were the only occupants of
the two vehicles, and received
minor injuries. St John sent two
ambulances and a rapid response

Six months in hospital for burn victim
•From page 1
Marcus said Burney, a printer,
had brought home a drum from
his workplace in Christchurch.
He was grinding it into three
circular pieces to use as garden
plant frames. The drum had been
used to store a cleaning chemical
called isopropyl. It appeared
sparks from the grinder ignited
fumes, causing the drum to
explode in flames.
Marcus woke up when he
heard his mum yelling his name
and saying something had happened
to his father.
Marcus had slept through
the loud explosion seconds earlier.
He ran out to see his father
standing dazed and naked on the
deck, his clothes having melted
off him in the driveway where he
had been working.
Neighbours heard the explosion
and phoned 111. Four people
from the surrounding properties
rushed to the scene. One took
over from Amanda who was
hosing Burney down to cool his
burns. Marcus said he took his
mum inside, as she was shaking
and panicking.
“I had to keep her inside because
it wasn’t a very nice sight,
it was quite a graphic sight seeing
dad burned, his hair singed and
his skin falling off.”
While generally quiet and
apparently in shock, Burney

had been able to keep up
a conversation with the
neighbours. The Darfield fire
brigade was on the scene within
minutes, followed by St John,
which transported Burney to
Christchurch Hospital.
Closer inspection by doctors
found his burns were more serious
than initially thought. He
was airlifted by the New Zealand
Flying Doctor Service to Middlemore
Hospital in Auckland,
where the national burns unit is
located. Marcus said while his
dad had a high level of fitness,
being a keen sailor and former
runner, he was now using all his
energy to fight. He was recovering
from skin graft operations to
repair the most damaged parts of
his hands and chest.
His face had not been badly
burned, and he has been able to
communicate by nodding. When
a breathing tube was temporarily
removed he was able to talk in a
whisper. He told Marcus he had
stuffed up and was asking about
finances, concerned the family
could still pay the mortgage.
“I had to say: ‘Stop it, you need
to focus on you, you can’t focus
on anything else’.”
Marcus said prior to the accident
his dad had been looking
forward to a trip to Australia
later this year to see his grandchildren.
They were reminding
him about this, telling him how
important it was to get better.
Early last week doctors told the
family the next two to three
weeks would be the most critical
time as they reached the outer
limits of what they could do to
save him.
Surgeons told the family later
in the week they were pleased
Burney’s skin was “looking
good” and they planned to
reduce the number of woundtreating
surgeries. They expect
him to be in hospital for at least
six months.

ROLLESTON’S Karen Scott
suffered her first signs of
multiple sclerosis when she was
11, feeling pain as she tried to
run at school athletics.
Today aged 46, she relies on
a walking frame and is putting
all her hope
and energy into
fundraising
enough to buy a
state-of-the-art
Omeo mobility
chair.
“You sit on it
Karen Scott
and it becomes
a part of your
body, because it’s based on
segway technology. It kind of
reads your body movements
and moves accordingly,” Scott
said.
She is part of a group of four
Rolleston residents with MS who
are fundraising for the hybrid,
motorised, all-terrain wheelchair
and exercise machines, which
cost more than $30,000 each.
The group’s efforts to get

while using the Omeo. Two of
the original group – Linda Klok
and John Sloan – have managed
to already buy their Omeos,
thanks to the kindness of family
and friends. Just Scott and Nikki
Macpherson, who now lives at
Rakaia, are left in the group,
and they have a $90,000 target
between them.
Scott said the pair had so far
raised about $6100.
“We have a way to go,” she
said.
Scott said it has been inspiring
seeing Klok and Sloan’s lives
flourish since buying their
Omeos. For herself, having one
of the machines would mean
she would be able to go to the
supermarket, rather than order
groceries. She would also be able
to manoeuvre on grass and sand
at parks and beaches, and do
simple things such as get down
a kerb between the footpath and
road.
“I just think that for Nikki and
I, having an Omeo would almost
put us back to where we were
before the MS took hold,” she
said.
Macpherson said having
one of the machines
would particularly help
with movement on the
days that her MS symptoms
intensified.
“There are some
days you are
okay and
there are other
days you feel
like you are wading
through mud,” Macpherson said.
Klok and Sloan said they were
grateful to friends and family
who had helped them get their
Omeos. Klok got hers about two
months ago, with donations
and loans
from family
and friends
and about
$2000 from
the initial joint
fundraising
campaign.
Klok said she
had mostly been
operating her
Omeo with its
Nikki
Macpherson
joystick and is now practicing
with its body steer function.
“Then you can do it hands-free
and you can use your hands
for other things, it gives more
freedom of movement.” she said.
Klok is enjoying life more
now, particularly being able to go
shopping with her children.
“Previously it was always a
mission to go anywhere,” she
said.
Scott and Macpherson said
they were grateful for the
support they had received for
the fundraising initiative to
date. This has included selling
stainless steel pegs, and spices
through Spicecraft.

Police allege drivers swapped
seats in crash that killed two
• By David Clarkson
POLICE HAVE charged a
30-year-old Hororata labourer
with wilfully attempting to
pervert the course of justice
by swapping seats after his
involvement in the fatal crash.
Ricky William Nicholl has also
been charged with and being a
party to the dangerous driving
that caused two deaths and an
injury.
Police allege drivers swapped
seats after a crash in which two
men were killed.
Charges against four men alleging
involvement in the September
25 incident have been laid at the
Christchurch District Court.
The crash took place at 7.40pm
on Halswell Junction Rd, near
the intersection of Shands Rd,
when a ute and a car collided.
Two of the four occupants of
the car were killed and two others
were taken to hospital in a
critical and serious condition.
The two occupants of the ute
were transported to hospital with
moderate injuries.
The police named the dead
men as Mark Graham Nicholl,
30, and William John Clark, 29,
both from Christchurch, who
were found dead at the scene.
At the district court last week,
Nicholl was charged alongside
Matthew Allan Gibbons, 21, of
Christchurch, with wilfully attempting
to pervert the course of
justice by “swapping driver’s seat
following your involvement in a
fatal vehicle crash”.
Nicholl was remanded to May
10 by a registrar, without plea,
and Gibbons was remanded
without plea to appear again
before a registrar on May 11.
A 54-year-old Linwood man
faced the same charge, as well
being a party to the alleged
dangerous driving by another
man – Shanan Nicholl – which

Swimmer surprised to find
pool has been closed

A SELWYN Aquatic Centre
swimmer says she was left
high and dry when the 20m
programmes pool was closed for
maintenance.
Thea Konijn said it wasn’t until
after she had paid for a swim at
the centre that she discovered the
pool was closed.
“I paid for a swim I could not
have,” she said.
She accused the district council
of not adequately informing
people of the closure, prompting
it to defend its public relations on
the matter and apologise at the
same time.
Konijn said she did not want
to use the centre’s new 25m pool,
as it was too crowded early in the
morning while swimming clubs
used half the lanes.
She believes many
fellow swimmers would be
disappointed as well, particularly
with the timing of the
maintenance falling in the school
holidays.

However, Ellena said
a closer inspection of
the property showed the
building itself would be
a brilliant asset, but its
location was too isolated
for the type of base he
David Ellena was planning.
“We feel that a separate
building that offers space
for various agencies to work
from, which is funded through
charitable donations and is
close to the town centre, would
be an ideal situation.
“There is a real need for a
place where organisations
such as these could be based in
Selwyn. It is often very difficult
for people to access services in
Christchurch if they have to
travel in, as they are often in a
vulnerable state to begin with.”

NINETEENTH HOLE: The three golfers (from left) Cody
Elvy, Seamus Smyth and Christian Cullen, enjoy a drink
together after their match.
• By Susan Sandys
TWO OXFORD friends
Cody Elvy and Seamus Smyth
enjoyed the golf match of a
lifetime when they played with
rugby legend Christian Cullen.
The pair played a round
with the former All Black at
Clearwater on Thursday.
Elvy and Smyth had won
a Trade Me auction for the
privilege of playing the game
with Cullen, paying $2010.
Organiser Property Brokers
Lincoln consultant Monty
Marillier said it was no
contest, with Elvy and Smyth
“not really golfers.”
Cullen shot 76.
“It was an awesome day and
a great experience for the two
guys,” Marillier said.
The auction was held by
Property Brokers Lincoln,
fundraising for Selwyn
St John.
AUCTION SUCCESS: Property Brokers consultant Monty

John area operations manager Mid Canterbury

Golf day out with rugby legend
Staff at the real estate firm
had initially been planning
a charity golf tournament to
raise money for the emergency
organisation last month, but
called it off due to Covid. The
game of golf with Cullen had
been one of the prizes.
St John Selwyn area
committee chairwoman
Ann Shepherd said Property
Brokers offices throughout
the district supported the
organisation.
“Selwyn St John and its
members are very grateful
to have such a wonderful
relationship with Property
Brokers and for the work they
do.”
The funds assisted in
running the ambulance
service itself, as well as St John
Youth, St John in Schools, first
aid training, and therapy pets
programmes in the district.

12 Selwyn Times Wednesday April 27 2022

• By John Cosgrove
THEY’RE CHEEKY, loud and
very curious – and that curiosity
may be killing them.
Kea are a Kiwi icon, known
the world over for sticking their
beaks into everything, but their
fascination with the nails holding
down roofing iron in the
Arthur’s Pass region, and many
other alpine locations, may be
leading them towards an early
death.
The reason: Much of the
roofing iron on pre-1990 batches,
houses and railway cottages in
the region is still held in place
by old lead-head nails. And the
gangs of juvenile kea that flock
to Arthur’s Pass village each day
just love those soft lead-heads.
Kea Conservation Trust
community engagement coordinator
Renee Habluetzel is
working on a project to rid roofs
in Arthur’s Pass of lead-head
nails and lead flashing sealants.
“You need to have heavy-duty
weather proofing around here
with the weather we get here,”
said Habluetzel.
She said because many of the
older homes in the village and
surrounding areas are nearly
100 years old, lead had been
used to seal the joins in the
roofing iron around chimneys,
eaves and where flashings were
required.
The trust is working with
property owners to replace the
lead-head nails and change
the flashings from lead-based
to more modern, eco-friendly
materials that are also kea-proof.
Habluetzel said juvenile kea
love nibbling at the lead-head
nails and anything else that’s soft
on the roofs.
“When you look at the nail
heads you can see where they
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
have scratched and pecked at
them.”
The lead then flakes off and
the birds ingest it, causing major
health problems over time.
Habluetzel said the problem
has been around for many years.
“It’s killing them or making
them very ill.
“The toxicity of the lead
is such that it causes mental
impairment, which can lead to
them being hit by car if they are
hanging around on the roads.”
She said if found in time the
young kea get treated at the
South Island Wildlife Hospital in
Christchurch.
“And if they’re not able to
be treated, then they need to
euthanise them, which is pretty
awful for everyone involved,” she
said.

the trust summarise that over 90
per cent of male fledglings seen
around Arthur’s Pass have
tested positive for lead poisoning.
The trust wants people to
know that if they have a pre-
1990 building that’s had no
work done on the roof and had
no replacement of lead-based
materials, then they can help.

Habluetzel also wants owners
of rural properties that have a lot
of older out-buildings on-site to
call them.
“A building as small as a dunny
can be causing a lot of trouble for
kea.
“They muck about and are
more prone to behaving like that
if they’ve been interacting with
humans and learning not to go
and look for their own food.
“That makes them much more
prone to this kind of sort of semijuvenile
delinquent behaviour,”
she said.
Habluetzel said volunteers
have helped assemble a list of
people who want to have the lead
removed off the roofs on their
properties.
“We’ve got a couple of contractors
working up here now. And
they are doing really great work,
going around assessing properties,
giving quotes so that people
know what it would cost to get
it done if they had to pay for it
themselves, because the trust is
meeting the cost of the removal
of the lead-based materials.”
Habluetzel said about 60 individual
juvenile kea were recently
banded in the area, and she
implores visitors to “please stop
feeding them”.
“It’s so bad, so bad for them.
“They need to look for their
own food, and they’re more
prone to be hit by cars.”

Rate increase shows
‘lack of transparency’
SELWYN COUNCIL has
no regard for the stress its
proposed rate increase (average
six per cent) is putting on the
community.
The time has come when a
commissioner needs to look
into the operation of the council
and undoubtedly it will find
that parts the council are costly
empire-building. Its efforts to
deliver on their promises to
ratepayers are fragmented and
lacking in transparency.
It’s now starting to become
clearer why we need an outside
water authority, for example. No
amount of spin from the mayor
will convince the ratepayers the
council is doing a good job. It has
been an ongoing problem for a
long time.
We need to start looking
inwardly into what the council
should be involved in; fortunately
the fire service now has control of
rural fire, thanks to the abysmal
efforts of the council in relation
to management of the Port Hills
fire a few years ago.
Roading is the big one. Some
of our roads are third-world, this
whole subject should be up for
debate. Catching up is going to
take years, if ever, to bring our
roads up to the standard
we ratepayers expect of a first
world country.
Perhaps Canterbury should
have a rural roading authority.
The mayor states the council
has fixed around 3000 pot holes,
what about the other 3000?
Importantly, council meeting
times need to change, taking
into account the diversity of our
ratepayer community. There
are young go-ahead people out
there, who have a social and
environmental conscience, and
a strong interest in the district’s
future. Their views and ideas
need to be heard and given
genuine consideration.

Lone grey
Australian
planthopper
makes its
way south
MOTHS AREN’T the only
insects attracted to lights; lake
flies, beetles, and caddisflies
are also found dotted around
ours! Even spiders join in on the
action, hoping to get a feed.
Recently I found a solitary grey
planthopper (Anzora unicolor)
mesmerised by the outside light.
This is the first time I’ve seen this
species and going by iNaturalist
records, this specimen is one
of the southernmost specimens
recorded in New Zealand.
It is an adventive Australian
species that is known more
commonly in the North Island
and top half of the South
Island.
Adults are mostly grey
coloured and are 6-8mm long.
Adults appear tent-like with their
upright wings that are rounded
at the tip. The green planthopper
(Siphanta acuta) is very similar
looking apart from its green
colour and the sharply pointed
wing tips.
Nymphs are covered with fluffy
white wax to reduce desiccation
and protect against natural
enemies.
Both adults and nymphs have
piercing and sucking mouth
parts that tap into the phloem of
a large range of native and exotic
plants. Mouth parts consist of
two tubes, one for injecting saliva
into the plant and a second tube
for siphoning the plant juices
out. Excess liquid is excreted as
honeydew.
Only one insect natural enemy
is known in New Zealand, an
ectoparasitoid called (Dryinus
koebeli).

A GROUP OF sappers from the
2nd NZ Engineers Division got
together over a wine one evening.
It was 1944. They were resting
after a day building a bailey bridge
over another river in their drive
north through Italy.
The idea of holding a trotting
meeting in Trieste when the
war was over was seen as a
fitting celebration to end the
Kiwi soldiers Italian campaign.
Lieutenant General Sir Bernard
Fergusson agreed to be the
patron for the event.
Sir Bernard later became the
10th Governor General of New
Zealand between 1962-1967.
There was a group of us who
held NZ harness racing driver’s
licences and had trained and
worked horses before the war
and were keen on the idea.
I said to dad: “Where were
you going to get horses during
the war to have a race meeting?”
Ahh! My dad replied: “We had
thought about this well before
hand. A group of the boys

WW2 memorabilia, including the Trieste Handicap race
programme and his second place medal.

us met each morning before we
worked our horses on the track.”
“Gosh dad!” I said, “weren’t
you a bit rusty after all that time
away from racing?”
“No, not at all, it came back to
me, like driving a car, I guess.
Something you don’t forget!’
Dad went on to tell me more
about the big day.
“There were eight races on
the programme, two for Kiwi
drivers and six for both Kiwi and
Italian drivers. There were 20
of us Kiwis, including my mate,
Ted Paul, who became New Zealand’s
chief handicapper after
contacted Italian trainers near
Trieste in 1944 and asked them
to keep their horses in training.
No race meeting without horses.”
“Did you and your mates speak
Italian?” I asked. “How did you
sort this out?”
“We definitely had our
challenges. Our Italian was
pretty basic and we had our
difficulties attempting to
convince the Italian owners
and trainers that the horses
263
would be
x
in capable Kiwi
180
hands,”
said dad.
“A fortnight before the race
meeting at the Montebello
racecourse in Trieste, a group of returning from the war.”
MEETING: The Trieste Handicap in Italy was organised by the
New Zealand Division.

NZ/RECORDS/23105644
The feature race of the day was
the Trieste Handicap.
“I was driving Carlino and
thought I may be in for a chance,
I just needed to get a good possie
on the rails behind the leading
bunch. The start of the race, a
little different to what we were
used to. A rolling start with instructions
recorded and relayed
through a loudspeaker – ‘pronto’
(ready) with horses walking
backwards towards the barrier,
‘una’ (one) they began turning
in the right direction, ‘duo’ (two)
they gathered speed and ‘tre’
(three) the race is under way.”
“How did you feel, being
amongst it?” I asked.
“Pretty good,” he said, “it felt
like old times and it took me
back to the days when I worked
Harold Logan (a famous standard
bred pacer who won two NZ
trotting cups in 1931 and 1932)
for the Shaws at Washdyke.
“As the leading horses reach
the bend and into the straight
for the final time, I give Carlino
his head, I edge out, one horse in
front of me, away we fly, I flick
my whip, I flick the reins, I yell,
come on! You can do it! We cross
the finish line behind my mate
Jack Stow driving Trionfatore
into first place.
“I feel pretty chuffed and proud
in front of my fellow sappers to receive
my second-place medal from
General McCreery, with General
Fryberg looking on.”
My dad returned from the war
and worked with his brother,
Karl Scott, as assistant editor
of the New Zealand Trotting
Calendar until 1972 when Karl
sold the business to a Wellington
company.

Past the peak? Why now
is the time to boost
As borders open and restrictions on movements and activities
ease, it is more important now than ever to be up to date with
your COVID-19 vaccinations. Here, Dr Helen Skinner, ECC
Incident Controller with Canterbury DHB, shares why it is upping
the ante on its booster vaccination programme.
By now, we all know someone who has
succumbed to COVID-19. Perhaps you’ve had
COVID-19 yourself?
For the lucky few, some mild symptoms and a
bit of weariness might be all that is experienced.
But from what I've seen, more people are
suffering some pretty severe effects, many of
which are going on for weeks.
Fortunately, many of us were fully vaccinated
and boosted when the Omicron peak hit
Canterbury. I can’t state enough just what a
difference that has made. People who are at the
peak of their immunity respond much better to
the virus, and recover more quickly.
Right now, more than 90,000 people in
Canterbury are due for their booster. That’s
why we’re upping the ante this month and
reminding people of the importance of a booster
vaccination.
Winter is fast approaching, and with it, more
time inside - an even better environment for
spreading COVID-19. Add to this the likelihood
of a much more severe flu season that
we have seen for years, and the risk this
winter is high.
Getting boosted is the best way to
fight Omicron
After a while, your protection against the
COVID-19 virus starts to drop away. The booster
dose gives you the added protection you need
against Omicron. It increases your immunity
substantially and it reduces the chance of you
sharing it with friends and whānau if you do get
COVID-19.
If you are 18 or over, and it’s been three
months since your second vaccination, then
you’re due for your booster.
The great news recently is that 16 and 17 year
olds are now also eligible for boosters. Rangatahi
in this age group need to wait six months after
finishing their COVID-19 vaccinations.
Have you had COVID-19 already?
I’m often hearing from people asking whether,
having had the virus, they still need a booster.
Unfortunately, even if you’ve had COVID-19, you
can get it again. And, while you get some natural
immunity through having the virus, it doesn’t
last. So, boosters matter. You need to wait three
months since having COVID-19 though.
It’s heartening to see that most of Aotearoa
has now reached the peak of daily COVID-19
cases, but that doesn’t mean the risk has gone.
COVID-19 is going to be
around for a long time,
which is why now is the
time to protect yourself
and your whānau – and
the sooner, the better.
There are plenty
places you can get
your free booster. Find
your nearest one at
BoostCanterbury.nz

Getting boosted is the best way to fight Omicron
Join us at a vaccination event
near you:
Do I really need a booster?
Getting your booster makes
it less likely you’ll get really
sick with COVID-19, or pass it on.
It is the best thing you can do to
protect you and your whānau.
When do I need to
have my booster?
If you are 18 or
over and had your
second dose at least
3 months ago, it’s
time to get your free
booster vaccine.
I’ve had COVID-19.
Do I need to get
boosted?
Yup, because you
can get COVID-19
again! Boosters help
protect you from future
infections.

I’m vaccinated. Why do I
need a booster too?
After a while, your protection
against the COVID-19 virus
starts to drop away. The
booster dose gives you
added protection against
Omicron.
How old do I need to be?
16 and 17 year olds are
now eligible for boosters too.
For you, it needs to be at
least 6 months since your
second dose.
How long after
infection should I wait?
You’ll usually need to
wait 3 months before
getting any COVID-19
vaccination or booster.

HARNESS RACING has lost
one of its greats with the passing
of famed horseman Jim Dalgety.
The 88-year-old passed
away last week at his home
in Canterbury, where he had
wanted to spend his final days.
He leaves behind a huge
legacy in the industry not only
as the patriarch of a famous
harness racing family through
son Cran and grandson Carter
but for what
he achieved
personally and
those he passed
his skills on to.
A ruthlessly
hard worker
and deep
thinker about
the harness
racing industry,
Jim learned his craft under
legends like Maurice
Holmes and Cecil Devine,
settling in Canterbury after
moving from his home town of
Oamaru.
He was a successful trainer
and breeder, owning many of his
better horses which included the
Great Northern Derby winning
brothers Bolton Byrd and Melton
Monarch, Bolton Byrd going on
to win the Auckland Cup.
Bolton Byrd was driven in
both those Group 1 wins by a
young Robert Dunn, Melton
Monarch in his Derby triumph
by Barry Purdon, just two
examples of the impact Dalgety’s
mentorship would later have in
harness racing.
While they were his best, the
list of Dalgety stars – either
trained, bred or owned – was
long: Golden Oriole, Happy
Hazel, Scuse Me, Solberge, Lucy
Lumber, Fancy Wishes, Imagine
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
That, Rely, Astrazaani, Violetta,
Jovial Jeanne, Dictatorship and
Sunny Action, who caused one of
harness racing’s greatest upsets
downing Lyell Creek in the NZ
Trotting Free-For-All.
But like most of the greats of
the industry the deeds of his
horses only tell part of the story.
“Dad was a hard worker and
somebody who liked to do things
the right way,” says son Cran.
“He instilled that in my
brother Blair and I and
everybody who worked with
him.
“His knowledge was wonderful
and he never stopped learning.”
Dalgety also stood stallions
Bachelor Hanover and Out To
Win and had an encyclopedic
knowledge of bloodlines both

here and in North America.
He imparted that knowledge
on anybody who asked for his
help, his pearls of wisdom always
accompanied by his catch phrase
“me old mate.”
Being called “me old mate”
by somebody twice your age
may have made plenty who
talked to Dalgety smile but being
welcomed into the “me old
mate” club was like a warm
blanket of experience being
draped across your shoulder,
harness racing’s version of
having made it.
So Wednesday was the end
of an era, with Dalgety joining
other legends no longer with
us like Derek Jones and most
recently Roy Purdon, off for
a drink with his real “me old
mates.”
But what he achieved in his
life, both as a family man and
in harness racing, will be felt for
decades to come.

Celebration of
Selwyn flavours
returns
The finest tastes of Selwyn will be celebrated over the month of May with the return of Taste Selwyn.
Selwyn is a pantry full of the freshest seafood, fruit, vegetables, grains and meats, with a huge variety
of foods from water buffalo cheese, saffron, wasabi, micro greens and white truffles.
Every year Taste Selwyn brings producers and Selwyn eateries together to create dishes with the
freshest ingredients.
This year, 19 participating eateries will be turning out dishes for people to savour. There will also be
opportunities for people to see behind the scenes and learn the secrets of making their own delicious
dishes like the professionals, with cooking demonstrations and producer workshops.
Philip Caunter from Melton Estate says Taste Selwyn last year was a great success for them as they
got to pair their wine with dishes from five different eateries, some which they had not worked with
before.
He says the festival not only let the public have a taste of Selwyn, but it allowed producers to find new
outlets for their products.
“We discovered some food producers through Taste Selwyn that we didn’t know about, including
Poaka and Sovereign Salmon. It also gave me a good reason to talk to these people and try their
products at the winery. It was worthwhile doing.”
For those over 18, there’s also an opportunity to win while enjoying your eating. Following on from
the success of last year’s competition, people are being encouraged to take a photo of your dish
and share it with us on Facebook and Instagram by using #tasteselwyn and tagging @selwyn.nz.
The photos go in the draw to win a Melton Estate Platter and wine-tasting among the vineyards,
or spot prizes including a new range of Taste Selwyn collector tea-towels.

West Melton
Community Park
work
A new community space is under
construction in West Melton, to complete
the West Melton Community Park.
Construction on the park began with the
skate area which was built in 2021. A new
barbecue area, playground and half-court
basketball court is under construction,
due to be completed in mid-May, weather
depending.
The area next to the West Melton
Community and Recreation Centre and
the West Melton Domain will also have
extra additional seating, landscaping and
planting.
An additional public toilet and car parking
will be built in the coming months.
Council contractor rated best
in Canterbury
Selwyn infrastructure company CORDE has been recognised as
Canterbury’s best contractor company.
CORDE (formerly Sicon Limited and Blakeley Construction) won
the Civil Construction New Zealand (CCNZ) Canterbury Contractor
of the Year at the CCNZ Canterbury awards earlier this month.
The Council-owned civil contractor also won the CCNZ Canterbury
Environmental Award for the second year in a row. CCNZ is the
leading industry body for civil construction representing over 600
companies around Aotearoa.
The award recognised CORDE’s innovation and quality across
a wide range of projects and its rapid solutions solutions for
community infrastructure damaged by weather events.The
companies’ work covers construction and maintenance of assets
including water infrastructure, parks and reserves, roading and
resource recovery.
It was a well-earned reward for the company’s work in recent years,
CORDE Chief Executive David Wilson says.
“It’s a huge privilege to be awarded Contractor of the Year by the
CCNZ for the quality outcomes of our construction projects this
year. CORDE are also really proud to win the Environmental award
for the second year running. We’ve invested heavily in our people,
our new machinery and the latest technology to build a business
of international quality. It really is an exciting time to be working
at CORDE.”
Mayor Sam Broughton says it’s positive to see the Council-owned
company picking up the award and seeing another showcasing the
quality of Selwyn businesses.
“We have many high quality businesses in Selwyn that take pride in
setting a high standard and representing this district well. It’s good
to see CORDE getting recognition for the work they’ve put in across
the South Island and to see a Council-owned business earning the
recognition of their peers in the industry for their work.”
Selwyn water systems continue
to rank among the best
Selwyn continues to have some of the cheapest water and newest
and most reliable water networks in New Zealand.
For the second year running, Selwyn had the cheapest volumetric
water charge in Aotearoa and among the lowest overall charges for
water according to the 2020/21 National Performance Report from
Water New Zealand – an independent not-for-proft organisation
representing water professionals and organisations.
The report again showed Selwyn has the newest water and
wastewater pipes, and second youngest stormwater pipes. It also
has among the fewest water, wastewater and stormwater pipes
rated as being in poor condition, and fewer than average drinking
water supply interruptions.
The Council continues to invest above the national average per
property in capital expenditure for drinking and wastewater, with
its new network contributing to comparatively low operational
expenditure needed to maintain the network.
Council Infrastructure Group Manager Murray Washington says it’s
good to see the district’s water systems continue to perform well.
“As the fastest growing district in the country, we’ve also got the
fastest growing water infrastructure, which puts a lot of pressure
on our staff who are passionate about doing a good job for this
community. It’s good to see their hard work reflected, showing that
while we have work to do, overall we’re delivering a really good
service for Selwyn.”

The Council has been successful in securing funding to improve tourism infrastructure for a further four
sites.
In the latest round of the Tourism Infrastructure Fund the Council received funding for projects in West
Melton, Rolleston, Lincoln and Sheffield, which are due to start in the coming months.
The funding will go towards an additional public toilet on the highway side the West Melton Reserve,
a dump station in Rolleston for self-contained camper vans, upgrades of the Liffey public toilets in
Lincoln and adding a toilet in the Sheffield Domain on State Highway 73.
The funding is timely to support the continued upgrade and additions to Selwyn’s tourism infrastructure
as the country prepares for the return of international tourists and increasing numbers of Kiwi visitors,
Council Community Projects Manager Cameron Warr says.
“In recent years we’ve been grateful to the ministry for supporting us in our ongoing upgrades of our
tourism infrastructure. We want to make sure our visitors get to enjoy a great Selwyn experience and
these projects will help us to do that – especially as we look forward to welcoming overseas tourists back
into the region.”
Work is due to start in the coming weeks and be completed by the end of October.

OPINION
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
Ngai Tahu must not be able to
Sir Kerry
Burke, a
former
Speaker of
the House,
Cabinet
Minister and
Environment
Canterbury chairman,
argues against Ngai
Tahu being able to
appoint two councillors
to the regional council
I AM opposed to the Bill
proposing to give Ngai Tahu the
power to appoint two councillors
to the Canterbury Regional
Council (aka Environment
Canterbury/ECan). I am
opposed to the notion that our
country and its population
should be seen in binary terms.
We are not. We are a multi-racial
and multi-cultural society and
our governance arrangements
should reflect that.
As Dame Anne Salmond
eloquently outlined in a recent
article, the preamble to the
Treaty of Waitangi makes it clear
that it creates a multi-lateral
agreement, not a bi-lateral one.
She also suggests the 1987
High Court ruling that the treaty
was a partnership between the
Crown and Maori alone needs
further consideration.
Dame Anne noted that, as
time passes, “non-indigenous
incomers may even have whanau
named after them – the Manuels,
the Stirlings, the Jacksons
and the O’Regans etc.” We
in Canterbury might add the
Grennells, Christians, Solomons
and Tregurthans (Tirikatenes).
In spite of the above, we
seem to be stumbling by ad hoc
steps like the Ngai Tahu Bill
and Three Waters into a future
of co-governance, a bi-lateral
system inconsistent with the
multi-lateral nature of the treaty
and our society. This will require
us to give up the democratic
foundation of our governance
arrangements. I have witnessed

massive change and growth in
Maori involvement and progress
in recent decades, some of
which I have been a part of and
helped create. In 1985, following
a multi-sector employment
summit, which I chaired as
Minister of Employment, I
advised Cabinet that we were
witnessing a Maori renaissance,
a widespread movement that
has continued to this day. We
are better for this movement,
provided it is seen in a multicultural
context.
As a Rangiora High School
teacher a decade and a half
earlier, I found the requirement
to record Maori students as
being more or less than half-
Maori difficult in the extreme.
Later, as an MP in the Kirk
Government, I voted to change
that law. Now, anyone with a
Maori ancestor can claim to
be Maori and, at census time,
choose to be on the Maori or
General electoral roll. Again, we
are better for this change.
As Speaker of Parliament
in the late 1980s, I ruled that
Maori was an official language
of Parliament, a decision which
overturned all previous Speakers’
Rulings which required Maori
MPs to either provide written
English translations or take
half of their speaking time to
tell their colleagues in English
what they had just said in Maori.
Today it is quite common to
hear non-Maori MPs using
Maori language expressions in
Parliament, which also has an
interpretation service so that all
MPs understand what is
being said.
These and other
developments over
nearly 50 years have
made New Zealand
a better country and
us a better people.
There is, however,
much that I find
troubling about Rino
Tirikatene’s Private
Member’s Bill proposing that
Ngai Tahu can appoint two
unelected representatives to the
Canterbury Regional Council.
First, local authorities should
be democratically elected.
This means that councillors
making planning and resource
management policies and
decisions are directly answerable
to their communities. It is
Rino
Tirikatene
called democracy. It is how we
do things in this country. The
Tirikatene Bill changes this
fundamentally. The appointed
councillors, under this Bill, will
be spending public money but
will be answerable only to those
who appoint them, in effect
to the inner, private political
dynamics of Ngai Tahu.
This proposal reverses the
long-standing political
principle of ‘no taxation
without representation’
and creates a new principle,
one that provides for the
appointees of a major
stakeholder to tax the
public without representing
them. This proposal
is an abandonment of
responsible government,
whereby central and local
government decision-makers are
answerable to their electors.
Second, if the current elected
ECan council thinks this Bill
has merit, it should be the body
promoting it as a local Bill. Its
supportive comments, seemingly
because it believes there will be
fewer costs having Ngai Tahu
at the decision-making table
rather than in a formal advisory
HAVE YOUR SAY:
Share your views
on the Bill. Email
barry@starmedia.kiwi
and keep responses to
200 words or less
role, overlook the slightly
larger matters of principle than
cost at stake here, things like
transparency and democracy.
Third, Tirikatene, the Member
of Parliament promoting this
Bill, also represents all Maori
(not just Ngai Tahu) in Otago,
Southland, the West Coast,
and other iwi in Nelson,
Marlborough and Tasman. If it
is good for Canterbury to have
this change, why is it not being
proposed for the rest of the
South Island?
Fourth, if a major
constitutional change such as
this really does have genuine
value, it should apply to all
local authorities and to all iwi,
not just Canterbury and Ngai
Tahu. In that case, it should be
a Government Bill. Much of the
criticism of the Three Waters
proposal revolves around its
co-governance model. The
Government should be wary of
taking that step but, if it supports
the Ngai Tahu Bill, why not
do the same for all iwi in all
regions?
Fifth, Ngai Tahu is a major
resource consent holder in
Canterbury. Iwi appointees
would have many conflicts of
interest, not least for urban
zoning and irrigation consents.
Sixth, when ECan was
conducting its representation
review prior to the 2007 local
elections, my deputy chair,
Robert Johnston, and I met
separately with Mark Solomon,
then Ngai Tahu kaiwhakahaere.
We asked him whether he
would support a designated
Maori constituency.
He told us that they did not
want a separate constituency as
they thought the Maori Advisory
Committee was working well, so
why change it. We proposed no
change.

CHANGE: Sir Kerry Burke says Parliament will have to make the final decision as the
outcome would bring about constitutional change at ECan.
We asked him whether he
would support a designated
Maori constituency. He told us
that they did not want a separate
constituency as they thought the
Maori Advisory Committee was
working well, so why change it.
We proposed no change.
Perhaps the genesis of this Bill
is to do with some recent history.
In the 2007 local elections, a
wave of public concern over the
potential for irrigation from the
Central Plains Water scheme
to pollute domestic water
supplies saw four Green-aligned
candidates sweep incumbents
out of office.
Potential irrigators feared
tighter rules and conditions for
the use of water, a fear that was
conveyed to rural mayors, who
saw water as driving economic
growth in their districts. When
the Key Government was elected
in 2008, it and the mayors (led
by Christchurch’s Bob Parker)
succeeded in destroying the
elected ECan council and having
commissioners appointed.
Labour and the Greens, in
Opposition, opposed this action.
They were right to do so. Ngai
Tahu, however, supported the
National Government’s actions,
as did the Maori Party. Ngai
Tahu then had a commissioner
appointed to ECan, something
it now seeks to consolidate
with this departure from the
democratic foundation of local
government.
A possible solution
A way needs to be found to
enable Ngai Tahu to exercise its
mana whenua role with regard
to natural resources while
maintaining the democratic
base of local government and
the multi-lateral nature of
the Treaty of Waitangi. The
Tirikatene Bill does not do this.
It is, metaphorically, the tail
proposing to wag the dog.
If the advisory role that
Ngai Tahu found satisfactory
in 2007 is no longer wanted,
another way of engagement
must be found. Co-governance
is not the answer, despite its
advocates already referring to
the ‘successes’ of the (as yet nonexistent)
ECan model.
Another democraticallybased
solution needs to be
found by central government
engaging with the whole of the
community. The Ngai Tahu
Bill should be either rejected
or parked, the 1987 ‘Lands’
judgment of Sir Robin Cooke
re-visited and a new model
developed, one based on the
multi-lateral nature of the treaty
and the multi-cultural nature of
our country.
At the end of the day,
Parliament will have to make
the final decision on the process
but, as the outcome would bring
about constitutional change,
it should be settled by way of
a referendum. Prior to that,
however, I think that a Royal
Commission, independent
of Government (as with the
consideration of proportional
representation in the 1990s) is
the best way to engage with the
public and to produce proposals
for all Parliamentarians to
consider.
These are very serious matters.
While this would take longer
than a Cabinet decision later this
year and enactment soon after,
it would be a better, transparent
process. It might even get the
support of all parties.

MY PRIDE AND JOY
Wheels and Wings is back!
It’s usually the Sheffield Volunteer
Fire Brigade supporting and helping the
community however this year on May 1
(rain date May 8), the Wheels and Wings
fundraising event will give the community
a chance to show their support and
appreciation for the brigade. Money
raised is to go towards St Johns and to
purchase additional equipment.
This popular event will showcase
displays from car enthusiasts, including
Dodge and Ferrari, vintage cars, tractors,
and new caravans with planes expected
to be flying in and out during the day.
Springfield Jet Boats and Rangiora’s
Heritage Helicopters will also be on
display, and rides will be available
on the Darfield Fire Brigade’s
vintage Fire Engine.
Apart from these exhibitions,
the Fire Service will have the fire
kitchen demonstration and possibly
the evacuation tunnel for children
to try. It is also hoped that a WWII reenactment
will go ahead.
The Malvern Lions, Darfield Young
Farmers and The Coffee Man will have
food and drinks available to purchase.
Sheffield Volunteer Fire Brigade Chief
Nev Croy wants to give special thanks to
the previous landowners and states, “We
have really got to express our thanks to
Charlie and Jo Draper for all that they
have done over the previous years, and
show our gratitude to them, and the new
owners Peter Morrison and Liz Nattrass,
who are allowing us to continue to run it.”
For a fun-filled, family day out to
support the Sheffield Volunteer Fire
Brigade and see a fantastic variety of
vehicles, head to Wheels and Wings at
Kimberely Road, Darfield (signposted
from the main roads).
The event runs from 8:30am to the
afternoon with entry $10 per person,
family $25 and under 15 years free.
Cash only but EFTPOS may be available
on the day, plus no dogs or alcohol
permitted. Postponement due to bad
weather will be notified on Facebook
and radio, and if in doubt, ring 021 650
554 to check.
Swap meet to go ahead
The Hororata Mechanical Swap Meet is all set to go ahead on May 28. This popular
mechanical swap meet caters for vintage, veteran, classic, cars, motorcycles, parts, tools
and mechanical related stuff. Gates open at 7am. There is no need to pre-book a site if
you want to sell but to find out what you can and can’t sell, visit: www.hororata.org.nz.

Peugeot offers EV buyer plenty of choice
ONE OF MY work colleagues
recently swung by my desk for a
chat.
Due to his recreational pursuits
he needs a four-wheel-drive
vehicle and we often talk about
what is in the market that would
suit his requirements.
However, this time the
conversation was somewhat
different, he said there was a
definite trend developing through
my columns and he pointed out
electric vehicles were making up
a substantial proportion of my
evaluations.
He is quite right, and that
prompted me to look through my
diary over the last six months.
Out of 25 evaluations, 16 of
them were fully electric vehicles,
hybrids or had some kind mild
hybrid technology.
I guess that’s no surprise,
manufacturers are diving head
first into battery power, buyers
are demanding it globally, and
many car makers have indicated
that within the next few decades
all of their models will be
electrified.
European brands, in particular,
have been very proactive in
building electric vehicles, and
French company Peugeot is one
of those that has got popular
models distributing globally. In
New Zealand the new 208 has
an EV option, and it was one
of those that made up the 14
evaluation cars I alluded to in my
introduction. Well, the e-208 is
joined by the e-2008, a new sport
utility vehicle that utilises much
the same driveline and design
cues, especially the interior.
It must be mentioned that the
e-2008 is joined by three internal
combustion engine variants, the
range starting at $34,990 and
ending at $46,990, the EV listing
at $71,990.
As mentioned, the e-2008
shares its front-wheel-drive
propulsion system with that of
the e-208, it has a 50kWh rating
with a motor power output of
100kW and 260Nm, the latter
available from just 300rpm,
providing immediate impetus
and solid feel of acceleration,
Peugeot claiming a standstill to
100km/h time of 9sec with a top
speed of 150km/h.
While those figures aren’t
electrifying, if you’ll pardon
the pun, they are in tune with
other EVs, and the e-2008 has
a substantial travelling distance
of 332km when fully charged to
low charge. If you are on the go
and need a boost from one of
the nationwide charging ports
then you get a zero to 80 per cent
charge in 30min. Otherwise,
there is a seven hour time to
recharge from your own wall box
at home or 28 hours on a threepin
plug with 10amp supply.
These are all similar figures to
the many other EVs I’ve driven,
and if you put that into context
FUNCTIONAL: Under the liftback rear, load space in the
e-2008 is generous.
PEUGEOT e-2008 GT: Plug-in electric sport utility vehicle that is based on the 208 platform.
such as when I have an EV in my
care, I constantly trickle charge it
from the wall socket in my garage
and that is easily enough to take
care of the daily commute as well
as a little bit of rural running in
the weekend. It must be said, I
need longish cables to do that,
extension cables, double plugs or
multi-boards are a definite no-no,
thankfully Peugeot have given
their cables good length.
On the road the e-2008 drives
silently, just like its smaller
stablemate, it is somewhat feisty
with that immediate surge of
acceleration, yet it also drives like
any other car at city speeds, it is
superbly smooth and requires no
special techniques to operate.
As mentioned, the interior
is just like that of its siblings, a
large number of toggle switches
combined with digital display
graphics to give the occupants a
vast choice of how they want to
travel in terms of comfort and
convenience.
In terms of specification, the
e-2008 wants for little – leather,
cloth and alcantara trim with
heated front seats, satellite
navigation, voice command,
Apple CarPlay and Android
Auto connectivity, proximity key
access, panoramic roof and radar
cruise control are all fitted.
In line with its competition
the e-2008 is priced affordably.
• Price – Peugeot e-2008
GT, $71,990
• Dimensions – Length,
4300mm; width, 1770mm;
height, 1530mm
• Configuration – Electric
motor, front-wheeldrive,
100kW, 260Nm,
automatic
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 9sec
Because it sits below the $80k
threshold it qualifies for the
Government’s clean car rebate of
$8625, which makes for a very
tempting price tag given what
you get as a vehicle.
Notably, it’s a very capable
family wagon, the SUV concept
far from jeopardised. At just 4.3m
it isn’t a big wagon, but it makes
good use of its proportions; take
the 434-litre load capacity for
example, that easily housed a
Kiddie-household supermarket
grocery purchase, and if you
need extra space the rear seats
fold to extend that capacity to
1467-litres.
If you haven’t driven a Peugeot
before, or haven’t for a few years,
then you’ll be delighted to know
that the chassis dynamics that have
made the company a legendary
force are incorporated into the
e-2008. It has one of best rides in
the SUV market, the suspension
is plush and cosseting, yet if you
feel the need to push quickly into
a corner or two then the handling
balance is one of complete control
and body stability.
There is no ride/handling
compromise at all, the two gel
neatly and as a consequence, the
driver and occupants feel at one
with the car, comfort is high yet
the e-2008 easily earns its GT
badge, it is a true touring car that
is very hard to find fault with.
I knew from the outset I was
going to like the e-2008, I’ve
been a slow convert to hybrids
and electric vehicles, but with
my time in the two 208s I knew
that with the direction Peugeot
are heading with their cars the
SUV would be a class act, and it
is. Don’t read me wrong, I still see
petrol engines as my preference,
but with the way the motor
vehicles are trending the choice
in the EV market will become
increasingly wider, and I’m sure
with economies of scale prices
will become more competitive
between the two.
Peugeot is giving Kiwis good
choice – hatchback or SUV, petrol
or electric, all are quality built,
and if you do choose an EV then
you’ll also have peace of mind,
the battery has an eight-year or
160,000km warranty, up to 70 per
cent of charge capacity.

PETS & PAWS
When dogs bark
Half of all the households in the Selwyn
District have at least one dog - that means
that the district has more than 13,500
dogs in the area. In short, we are a mostly
dog loving district. People have dogs for
many reasons … companionship, mental
well-being, socialisation, safety and
property protection.
As dog owners, we understand that
dogs are not everyone’s ‘cup of tea’. We
also understand that a barking dog can be
a nuisance and, if continuous, can affect a
person’s health and well-being.
Dogs bark for variety of reasons - they
might bark when calling out to other
dogs, when expressing emotion such as
happiness when they see their owner or
fear if approached by a stranger, when
being territorial or when trying to grab
their owner’s attention. Any noise, no
matter how slight, can stimulate a barking
response – for example rustling leaves, a
banging window, lightning or thunder, or
voices and footsteps on the street.
What to do if a neighbour’s
dog is nuisance barking
1. Note the exact time/s of day and how
long the dog is barking
2. Make sure you know exactly where or
which house the barking is coming from
3. Drop a polite note into the owner’s
Full grooming services
Professional friendly
groomers
We come to you!
letterbox (give your contact number or an
email address) or if you know the owner,
give them a call. The owner may not be
aware their dog is barking if they are not
at home. Make sure you list the dates and
times the barking occurred. The owner
will want to resolve the issue if their dog is
barking too much. Be respectful.
4. If the issue is not resolved and the
dog continues to bark, contact Animal
Control. They will want your name,
address and contact details (these are kept
confidential) and details of the complaint
(ie a barking record and where the
barking is coming from). Animal Control
will contact the dog owner to make them
aware a complaint has been made and will
work with both parties to create a positive
outcome.
What to do if you receive a
complaint that your dog is
barking too much
1. Put defensiveness aside, and
acknowledge the complaint. Assume
there’s some truth to it and then work
out what to do about it. If the person says
your dog barks all the time, it may be an
exaggeration, but it’s likely your dog is
barking some of the time, especially if it is
outside when you’re not home.
2. Empathise and apologise. Tell them
Call now to seCure your appointment!
0800 454 654 www.jimsdogwash.co.nz
you’re sorry they’re being disturbed by the
barking, that you don’t want your dog to
be a nuisance, and that you want to find a
solution.
3. Investigate your dog’s behaviour - Ask
your immediate neighbours if they hear
your dog, and if so, when and how much.
Check the wider neighbourhood to see if
there are other dogs barking in the area.
4. Take action to modify your
dog’s behaviour - Make changes to
accommodate your neighbour and protect
your dog. Change your routines if need
be. If it’s random throughout-the-day
backyard barking while you’re away -
think of other options i.e. install a pet
door so your dog can come inside for
part of the day; take your dog with you
during the day to work or to a doggie
daycare; have a friend or pay someone
to come and take your dog for a walk
or play with it to break up its day;
play background music so your dog
doesn’t hear every neighbourhood
noise; reduce your dog’s vision or
access to your street frontage. If your
dog is barking when you are at home,
try changing your routine so you
can keep an eye on it and modify its
behaviour.
5. Keep the complainant informed
of your efforts to address their
concerns. Document your actions and
keep any receipts of anything you buy to
modify its behaviour in case you do have
to face animal control.
6. Remember, a tired dog is a quiet
dog. If your dog barks when alone, tire
them out before you go. Take a long walk
or run, play ball or take a trip to the dog
park before leaving.
If you are contacted by Animal
Control because someone has
complained, see them as a source of help
and not as the enemy. They understand
dogs and are there to help find solutions
and will offer ideas to satisfy both
parties. They can also supply a voice
activated recorder so you can determine
if it is your dog barking and, if so, just
how often it is barking.

Planting a winter garden
Where frosts come early, wise
gardeners have already planted
their brassicas, but in most gardens
there is still time to plant
cauliflower, cabbage or broccoli
seedlings, or sow some seeds.
Some gardeners sow directly
into garden soil that is still warm
from summer. Sowing in trays of
seed-raising mix for transplanting
out later is the easiest option
for most of us.
Tomato plants will keep producing
until the first frosts, but
fortunately they’ll continue to
ripen after picking. Pumpkins,
however, must be left on their
vine until fully ripe. They are
ready for harvest when they have
good colour and the vine begins
to die off. Another test for ripeness
is to gently knock them with
your knuckles; a ripe pumpkin
sounds hollow and has hard skin
resistant to denting.
What to plant in autumn
A quick crop of dwarf beans,
radishes or salad greens makes
good use of space where late
April remains warm, filling the
gaps between slower growing
brassicas. You might also plant
some herbs in containers.
Brussels sprouts are cool-climate
treats well-worth growing if
your winter is cold enough, but
get them in soon. Plant brussels
sprouts where they have some
shelter from strong winds, as
they are tall and shallow-rooted.
Cauliflower grows best in temperatures
between 15 and 20°C.
When it’s too hot the curds may
be loose and plants may bolt,
so in warmer climates, the ideal
planting season is late summer
and autumn. This gives young
seedlings the warm conditions
they need to get started in
life, with cooler weather as the
cauliflowers mature. Recently,
however, new heat-tolerant
cauliflowers have been introduced
which will make planting
time less critical. Most varieties
are ready for picking about four
months after planting. In a warm
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
climate, planting a batch of seedlings
each month in March, April
and May should keep you in
cauliflowers from June through
till spring.
Cabbage, broccoli and kale are
easier to grow than their cauliflower
cousins, but they enjoy
the same conditions. Sprouting
broccoli will keep producing
succulent side shoots well after
the main head has been picked.
There is no doubt that home
grown broccoli is a whole lot
tastier, darker green and more
nutrient dense than shop bought
broccoli.
Kohlrabi, another member of
the brassica family, is easy to
grow and tastes like a mild, sweet
turnip. The bulb is delicious in
slaws and salads or roasted in the
oven. Kholrabi stems and leaves
are edible too. There are both
purple and green varieties.
The onion family includes lots of
interesting varieties, including
leeks, shallots and spring onions.
Plant seedlings or sow seed
directly into the soil in autumn.
Garlic, traditionally planted on
the shortest day and harvested
on the longest, can be planted
successfully from April onwards.
Spinach grows best with cool,
moist roots, good drainage and
plenty of compost and fertiliser.
Winter grown spinach is especially
sweet.
Silver beet is easy to grow for
picking all year round in mild

climates, and for at least six
months in colder climates. A
great crop for winter it thrives
with ample moisture and likes
fertilisers high in nitrogen, such
as blood and bone.
Broad beans are ready for picking
three to five months after
sowing. In windy areas these tall
growing plants need some kind
of frame or stakes and string for
support
Peas are grown from seed sown
directly into the soil. Sowing
is timed to provide the cool
soil needed for germination
while avoiding frosty or hot dry
weather during flowering time.
This translates to autumn sowing
for warmer climates, and spring
sowing for colder climates.

[Edition datE]
Can I trust a seller’s building report?
If you’ve been to an open home recently, or
been browsing the ‘for sale’ adverts, you might
have noticed that some sellers put together
information packs for potential buyers. These
sellers will know that researching a property
takes time and money, and they don’t want this
to be a barrier to a successful sale. They believe
that providing information like a LIM (a Land
Information Memorandum from the local
council) and a building inspection report can help
busy people get an offer on the table. This is great
in theory, but you need to tread carefully all the
same.
If, for example, a real estate agent or seller
gives you a LIM for the property, check carefully
when it was prepared. A LIM is a summary of
all the current property information held by the
different departments at a council at the time. It
contains details of council consents for any work
done, how much the rates are and information
on any geographic hazards that might have an
impact on the property, such as subsidence. Bear
in mind that this information can be reasonably
general – the LIM for most houses in Wellington
will say that they’re located in a high wind area,
for example. If the LIM is dated a couple of weeks
ago, it’s safe to assume it’s reasonably up to date.
If it’s dated a year ago, it’s a good idea to make
further enquiries. Getting a LIM costs money in
most areas (prices vary from council to council).
You can also ask to see the property file held by
the council, which holds other information about
a property, like a site map and original house
plans.
Building reports are a bit trickier. Using a
building report provided by the seller (or the
real estate agent working for them) may seem
like an easy option in the short term. However,
if you buy the property and then find problems
with it that cost a significant amount to fix, you’re
not protected by the building report because the
inspector’s contract is with the seller, not you. The
Real Estate Authority (REA) recommends using
an accredited property inspector who complies
with the New Zealand building inspection
standard 4306:2005. Their written report will
identify any current defects as well as highlight
any urgent and long-term maintenance required.
Look for someone who has a good level of
indemnity insurance, as this will protect you if
you buy the property and then find you need to
fix something that wasn’t in the report. Building
inspections do come at a cost, but we think it’s
worth it to be sure that you’re fully aware of what
you’re signing up for. Depending on the age of the
house you’re looking at don’t necessarily expect
a thin report saying there are no issues. Many
wooden houses in New Zealand are over 50 years
old and there will be things the inspector needs
to point out. Make sure you understand what
normal age-related matters are (that may not be
major issues), compared to significant repairs
needed in the short term to fix a problem. The
report you receive should separate these things
out - if it doesn’t, then ask the inspector about the
difference.
If you end up with a report with a lot of
information about the property it doesn’t mean
you should walk away. Instead, see it as giving
you the opportunity to know what you’re buying.
Doing this before you make an offer means you
are fully aware of what the property may need to
have done to it and your offer figure can reflect
that. However, if you don’t feel comfortable
paying for a building report before you make
an offer, you can make a property inspection a
condition of your offer. Like most things in life,
buying a property will go more smoothly if you
put the work in. If a short cut seems too good to
be true, it usually is.

Key reasons
to buy new
Buying new has many advantages. No one has
yet lived in your brand new home and it has that
new home smell and feel.
That doesn’t appeal to the villa crowd.
But many people dream of a home in a
new suburb.
There are many other advantages -- such
as being able to customise the home before
it’s built. Buyers love it that their build
guarantee covers most things and there’s
little maintenance to do for the first 10
years.
There are a long list of reasons some
people dream of buying new.
They include:
• Current Building Code requirements
specify a higher standard of insulation
and glazing than you can expect in an
older home, which makes your new home
warmer in winter and cooler in summer,
meaning cheaper to run. In addition there
has been a vast improvement in the quality
and technology of construction materials
over the last decade.
• New homes are designed for modern
lifestyles with walk-in wardrobes, double
or triple car garaging, en suites and heat
pumps.
• Internal access garaging.
• Indoor-outdoor flow. Home builders
before the 1970s rarely thought about this.
• Automatic pool covers and electric
curtains are included in a lot of new
homes, he says.
• In a new subdivision you’re not going
to have five cross-leased small homes next
door to your architecturally designed fivebedroom
dream home, he says.
• New purpose-built shopping and
service centres cater for the modern life.
• New schools can be popular. New
schools are being designed with “Modern
Learning Environments”, which are
considered better layouts for 21st-century
learning.
Another important factor is it’s easier
to get a mortgage. New Reserve Bank of
New Zealand loan to value (LVR) ratio
restrictions from October 1 don’t relate
to new homes. Likewise the KiwiSaver
HomeStart grant is doubled for first time
buyers.
When it comes to new apartment
buildings they’re built to a higher standard
of earthquake/fire proofing and, hopefully,
are no longer leaky.
There are, of course, disadvantages to
buying new. Not everyone wants to wait
six or 12 months to move into their home.
Other downsides include:
• Borrowing to cover the progress
payments is more complex than taking out
a mortgage on an existing property.
• Builders and developers can go broke,
leaving the buyer in an awkward position.
• With some new homes the buyer
effectively needs to become a project
manager.
• You have to deal with council for
building and sometimes resource consent.
• The location may be further from the
centre than you wanted.
• If it’s infill housing you might have a
cross lease situation that some people find
tricky.
• There are often teething problems with
a new build.
• You won’t get a quaint tree-lined street.
• Your section will most likely be smaller
than that of an existing home.
• Fences, paths and landscaping might
need to be added at a cost.

Your guide to all things Real Estate
in the Selwyn District
Homes built
for tomorrow
When it comes to accessibility,
sustainability and being eco-friendly, you
can’t go past this spacious three bedroom
Green Homes showhome in Acland
Park, Rolleston.
The Waikawa 184 is impressive from
the moment you step in the door. The
cathedral-style ceilings and vaulted
skylight give added space and light to
the kitchen, dining and living areas.
A large walk-in pantry complements
the streamlined kitchen, which offers
plentiful cupboard space. The master
bedroom is conveniently located near the
living areas and has a luxuriously tiled
ensuite featuring a double shower. The
spacious double bedrooms and large
family bathroom are all located off the
main hallway. The home incorporates
universal design principles and has a
4-star rating from Lifemark® to better
accommodate occupants with mobility
needs. It is also designed for thermal
performance, to optimise the sun’s heat
throughout the day, with the highly
specified energy efficient design features,
the home is set to be a winner for all the
family.
Green Homes is dedicated to building
homes that are energy efficient, healthy
and comfortable. They are the only
residential design and build company
in New Zealand that is ISO 50001
compliant for Energy Management. The
ISO 50001 (International Organisation
for Standardisation 50001) is a voluntary
standard for designing and implementing
an energy management system, which
means Green Homes is required to carry
out additional independent inspections
on build quality across all their homes.
The company has five branches
around New Zealand – Auckland, Bay
of Plenty, Christchurch, Central Otago
and Queenstown – and has over 70
plans to choose from. Their aim is to
provide quality homes that provide all
year-round comfort with better energy
efficiencies to lower energy costs, and
overall have less impact on the planet
and your pocket.
Green Homes is so committed to
creating better homes for New Zealand
residents that when the building code
standards are increased later in the
year, the company will further raise its
standards well above code to make sure
the company continues to deliver on its
promise – to deliver perfection in every
corner – including a fully inclusive quote,
honest advice, top quality finish, fixed
price contracts, first class service and an
enjoyable experience.

Homes, visit: www.greenhomesnz.
