Sutton Tools plans<br />
rebuild in Rangiora<br />
By SHELLEY TOPP<br />
Anew Sutton Tools factory will be<br />
built in Rangiora following the<br />
demise of the Kaiapoi factory which<br />
was badly damaged by fire in<br />
January.<br />
Demolition of the old factory<br />
building is almost completed, but<br />
the new factory will rise on 13.8<br />
hectares of land on the corner of<br />
Todds and Fernside roads in<br />
Rangiora, says Sutton Tools (NZ)<br />
general manager Kevin Donovan.<br />
‘‘The Kaiapoi site is now<br />
surrounded by more and more<br />
residential property and is no<br />
longer ideal for large scale<br />
industrial manufacturing,’’ he says.<br />
‘‘We are really excited about the<br />
new site.’’<br />
The demolition of the old building<br />
and waste removal from the site had<br />
been acomplicated process due to<br />
asbestos issues with the old roof.<br />
‘‘We are aware that the<br />
demolition process has been noisey<br />
and disruptive for neighbours and<br />
we thank them for their patience.<br />
The Waimakariri District Council<br />
and staff have also been very<br />
supportive,’’ he says.<br />
‘‘We have made changes to some<br />
remaining buildings in preparation<br />
for limited manufacturing on the<br />
current site as we complete<br />
machine building projects.<br />
‘‘This should start in May/June.’’<br />
It is expected to take 1218 months<br />
to build the new factory with similar<br />
time frames likely for new<br />
machines, purchased from<br />
overseas, to be delivered to the new<br />
factory.<br />
Fifty staff have been made<br />
redundant.<br />
‘‘Many found jobs very quickly,<br />
some have chosen to take abreak<br />
for awhile and others retired. We<br />
were inundated with job offers/<br />
opportunities from local employers<br />
and agencies,’’ Kevin said.<br />

‘‘Seventeen staff have taken<br />
temporary roles at our factories in<br />
Australia, and others have been<br />
redeployed to help our engineering<br />
team in Kaiapoi. We have tried to<br />
retain as much specialised skill and<br />
experience as we can, however with<br />
the reduced income we have had to<br />
make some difficult choices.’’<br />
Fire investigators have been<br />
unable to identify what caused the<br />
January 30 fire.<br />
‘‘This is disappointing as we<br />
would like to know what caused it,’’<br />
Kevin said.<br />
Waimakariri Mayor Dan Gordon<br />
says its great to hear Sutton Tools<br />
has found anew home in<br />
Waimakariri.<br />
‘‘This will be aloss to Kaiapoi but<br />
it’s great this business that’s such an<br />
institution in the District is here to<br />
stay.’’<br />
He says he, deputy Mayor Neville<br />
Atkinson and council staff, have<br />
been working with the company<br />
since the fire to help them reestablish.<br />
‘‘We’re committed to continuing<br />
to help Sutton Tools as they move up<br />
the road to Southbrook in<br />
Rangiora.’’<br />

Crowdsgather to remember<br />
By ROBYN BRISTOW<br />
Crowds turned out at Anzac<br />
Day services throughout<br />
<strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong>.<br />
Several dawn services<br />
were held with young and old<br />
joining together to<br />
remember in the early<br />
morning darkness.<br />
Alone bugler stood at his<br />
gate in Rangiora at 6am and<br />
played the Last Post and and<br />
Reveille using acornet<br />
bought by ayoung man on his<br />
21st birthday —May 18, 1939,<br />
the year WWII began.<br />
In Hanmer Springs the<br />
Amuri Mounted Rifles<br />
paraded, while Amberley,<br />
Pegasus and Woodend also<br />
held dawn services.<br />
Mayor Marie Black, who<br />
spoke at the Amberley<br />
service, and several smaller<br />
services in the district, said<br />
attention turned to the<br />
courageous actions of<br />
service personnel, and the<br />
sacrifices they have made<br />
across ‘‘our history’’.<br />
‘‘We take time on Anzac<br />
Day to remember the<br />
generations of servicemen<br />
and women who without<br />
guarantee of asafe return,<br />
left their homes and families<br />
for shores unknown.<br />
‘‘While we reflect on their<br />
experiences, we can also give<br />
cause to consider the<br />
division that exists in our<br />
world today.<br />
‘‘The event in Ukraine is<br />
shocking and distressing,<br />
demonstrating the enduring<br />
act of war and conflict. For<br />
every individual touched,<br />
their lives are touched<br />
forever.<br />
‘‘Let us never forget the<br />
example of our servicemen<br />
and women and consider it<br />
our duty to uphold the legacy<br />
by continuing to stand<br />
against division and hatred,<br />
and to strive for apeaceful<br />
future for all. We see that the<br />
human toll of conflict is not<br />
confined to the past, nor a<br />
single generation,’’ said Mrs<br />
Black.<br />

Hedge needs axing -residents<br />
By ADAM BURNS<br />
Maintenance of an ‘‘out of control’’<br />
hedge at Waikuku Beachcould cost<br />
ratepayers<br />
tensofthousands<br />
of dollars<br />
over the next<br />
coupleofyears,<br />
despite plans<br />
for it to be cut<br />
down.<br />
But there are<br />
hopes the axing of the shadowy shrub<br />
can be fasttracked, following<br />
suggestionsits removalwas at least<br />
another two yearsaway.<br />
Plans for the macrocarpa shelterbelt<br />
hedge,which stands betweensix to<br />
eight metres high on Parks Avenue,<br />
continue to causeheadaches for the<br />
small beachtown community, including<br />
funding avenuesfor the hedge’s swift<br />
removal.<br />
Areport was tabled at the Woodend<br />
SeftonCommunity Board meetinga<br />
fortnight ago which recommended the<br />
hedge be removed.<br />
However it was initially proposed the<br />
project be considered for inclusion in<br />
the Waimakariri District Council’s 2024<br />
Long Term Plan, with costs for the<br />
removal of the hedge and replanting<br />
estimatedatabout $105,000.<br />
The hedge could also absorb ongoing<br />
maintenance costs ‘‘atHealth and<br />
Safetylevels’’until it was removed in<br />
2024/2025, according to the report.<br />
Maintenance of the hedgecosts the<br />
council about $20,000 for the firsttrim,<br />
followed by afurther cost of ‘‘between<br />
$10,000 and $15,000 every18months’’.<br />
Duringapublic deputation at the<br />
<strong>April</strong> 11 meeting, Waikuku Beach<br />
resident Jo Kane fumed at the proposed<br />
timeframes following ,what she<br />
described as, some drawnout<br />
deliberationswith council staff on the<br />

recommendation, in orderfor alast<br />

Powerlines brought down plane<br />
By ROBYN BRISTOW<br />
The <strong>Canterbury</strong> Recreational Aircraft<br />
Club has instituted a‘‘200 foot minima’’<br />
for practicing simulated engine failure<br />
exercises following aSafety<br />
Investigation Report after alight<br />
aircraft accident 12 months ago.<br />
Astudent on his third lesson, and his<br />
instructor, nosedived into apaddock<br />
after ZKRGB clipped powerlines<br />
during asimulated engine failure<br />
exercise, on <strong>April</strong> <strong>28</strong> last year.<br />
Both pilots required hospital<br />
treatment for their injuries.<br />
The Safety Investigation Report into<br />
the incident during flight training, was<br />
published on the CAA website earlier<br />
this month.<br />
The CAA report says aconclusion from<br />
its investigations was the instructor and<br />
student had descended lower than was<br />
considered necessary during the engine<br />
failure exercise.<br />
At around 30 feet, the aircraft clipped<br />
powerlines and hit the ground nosedown<br />
after flying through agap in a<br />
hedge, and turning slightly to the right to<br />
get abetter distance to land in. ‘‘The<br />
instructor reported not being very<br />
familiar with the area, and usually<br />
conducted simulations elsewhere.<br />
Due to calm weather on the day,<br />
however, the instructor determined the<br />
area was appropriate for the<br />
exercise,’’the CAA report says.<br />
It says neither the instructor from the<br />
Rangiorabased <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />
Recreational Aircraft Club, or the<br />
student, aRangiora retiree, saw the<br />
powerlines due to the hedge ‘‘largely’’<br />
obscuring the power poles and lines.<br />

However, although the instructor was<br />
operating within the rules at the time of<br />
the accident, the CAA report says the<br />
descent was continued to a‘‘height<br />
lower than necessary to demonstrate the<br />
success of this simulation’’.<br />

instructor was not following lesson<br />
content guidelines as recommended by<br />
the Recreational Aircraft Association of<br />
New Zealand and the CAA.<br />
The student was on his third lesson,<br />
all of which included simulated engine<br />
failures, and also several other different<br />
skills such as affects of controls, straight<br />
and level turning climbing and<br />
descending, and circuits.<br />
‘‘This was not in line with the RAANZ<br />
or CAA flight instruction guideline.<br />
‘‘The instructor said he wanted to<br />
demonstrate to students awider range<br />
of exercises to capture their interest and<br />
keep students enthused about coming<br />
back for subsequent flights,’’ the report<br />
says.<br />
He also said demonstrating simulated<br />
engine failures early in training, helped<br />
allay fears of what would happen if<br />
there was an engine failure.<br />
The conclusions in the report cite the<br />
introduction of advanced skills to presolo<br />
students ‘‘is likely to overwhelm the<br />
student and limit the effectiveness of<br />
learning’’.<br />
In response to the report the club has<br />
introduced the 200ft minima for practice<br />
of simulated engine failure, agreed to<br />
follow lesson delivery guidelines as<br />
outlined on the RANZ and CAA<br />
websites, and the RAANZ has<br />
communicated its expectations to<br />
members that flight instruction had to<br />
be in accordance with the guidelines.<br />
Student Alan Macdonald, says he has<br />
not been put off flying by the accident,<br />
but has resigned from the club as he is<br />
unable to reconcile the president’s<br />
published comments in the national<br />
media at the time of the accident, with<br />
the CAA report.<br />
Lobbying continues on 3Waters<br />
BY ADAM BURNS,<br />
Local Democracy Reporter<br />
Somecommonground between<br />
community leadersand the<br />
Government on Three Watershas been<br />
recognised,Waimakariri Mayor Dan<br />
Gordon says.<br />
But whether theCommunities 4<br />
Local Democracy(C4LD) group’s<br />
efforts willhalt therollout of the<br />
controversial reforms, remains to be<br />
seenafter it continuestolobby for<br />
‘‘moreworkable’’ alternative options.<br />
Mr Gordon,who is serving as deputy<br />
chair of thegroup, was recently joined<br />
by HurunuiMayorMarie Black and<br />
Kaikoura MayorCraig Mackle fora<br />
presentation to Local Government<br />
Minister Nanaia Mahuta in Wellington.<br />
A10point proposal hasbeen floated<br />
by thegroup, which it believescan<br />
achieve ‘‘broadand cross party<br />
support’’.<br />
Some of the key pointsofthe model<br />
centre around‘‘meaningful’’<br />
community asset propertyrights, a<br />
‘‘nationaland objective’’subsidy<br />
scheme and apartnershipwith mana<br />
whenua around investment decision<br />
making.<br />
‘‘Thewhole local government sector<br />
is eager to partner and work withthe<br />
Governmenttoturnthis around and<br />
find alasting solutionthatcouncilsand<br />
communitiescan all support,’’Mr<br />
Gordon says.<br />
He saysthe ministerand her officials<br />
were interested in themodel andasked<br />
several questions of the group.<br />
‘‘We received an acknowledgement<br />
from theminister thatweagree on<br />
several key points,’’ he says.<br />
‘‘Thereisstill timetofind alasting<br />
solutionthataddresses ThreeWaters<br />
concerns while retaininglocalism.’’<br />
<strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong>’s community<br />

‘‘These mega entitieswillnever have<br />

Rate increase doesn’trecognise hardship<br />
By ROBYN BRISTOW<br />
Environment <strong>Canterbury</strong>’s (ECan)<br />
proposed 24.5 percent rates increase,<br />
makes the sector appear unresponsive<br />
to the ‘‘significant and genuine’’<br />
hardship in the rate paying community,<br />
says the Waimakariri District Council.<br />
In asubmission presented to ECan on<br />
its draft annual plan on Wednesday,<br />
Waimakariri Mayor Dan Gordon said in<br />
the face of pandemic impacts and steep<br />
rises in the cost living, the proposed<br />
increase doesn’t acknowledge the<br />
realities many households are facing.<br />
He said when added to last year’s<br />
increase, ratepayers would be facing a<br />
34 percent increase over two years.<br />
Asignificant contributor to the<br />
increase is aproposed trial of changes<br />
in public transport fare structures, in<br />
response to climate change and in abid<br />
to reduce emissions.<br />
Mr Gordon said his council urged<br />
ECan to pause fare structures until the<br />
community has ‘‘ meaningful<br />
opportunity’’ to consider alternative<br />
options for achieving the ends ECan is<br />
seeking.<br />
He said atrial is ‘‘somewhat<br />
unrealistic’’ and on the available<br />
evidence, any emission reduction<br />
benefits gained, on the available<br />
evidence would be small and expensive.<br />

‘‘The proposed increase in uniform<br />
targeted passenger transport (urban)<br />
rates per property, over six years in<br />
Waimakariri is 247%, including 26% in<br />
<strong>2022</strong>/2023.<br />
‘‘This level of increase is<br />
unsustainable.’’<br />
The council also questions if it is<br />
appropriate to use the rating system in<br />
this way, in what amounts to ‘‘income<br />
redistribution for social and<br />
environmental outcomes’’.<br />
‘‘These changes are being promoted<br />
without reference to ECan’s statement<br />
of community outcomes, nor abenefits<br />
analysis in relation to its revenue and<br />
financing policy: and, outside of the<br />
framework for joint working under the<br />
Greater Christchurch Partnership and<br />
the regional land transport planning<br />
process.’’<br />
Mr Gordon says the council does not<br />
dispute many in the community are<br />
doing it tough and afare concession<br />
would assist them.<br />
‘‘But the Government has responded<br />
to this with benefit and minimum wage<br />
changes, as well as its own fare<br />
reductions with Budget <strong>2022</strong> yet to<br />
come.’’<br />
The council also questions the<br />
proposed funding formulae for<br />
recovering costs associated with<br />
localised flood recovery and protection<br />
across the regional community.<br />
He asked ECan to pause until areport<br />
by the combined Regional and Unitary<br />
Council’s Group, Central Government<br />
Coinvestment in Flood Protection<br />
Schemes: ACall for National Leadership<br />
and Urgent Action to Meet the Flood<br />
Hazard Risks Arising from Climate<br />
Change,isresponded to by Government.<br />
It also expresses concerns about a<br />
future levy to fund action in response to<br />
climate change.<br />
‘‘We recognise the challenges that<br />
climate change presents,’’ Mr Gordon<br />
said.<br />
More rigorous assessment, and<br />
documentation was needed before the<br />
proposal could be considered in a<br />
meaningful way.<br />
‘‘Without that, in its current form, it is<br />
difficult to support this until more<br />
definitive uses of this potential fund are<br />
subject to community consultation,’’ Mr<br />
Gordon said.<br />
He also called on ECan to help fund<br />
the monitoring of water quality in<br />
private wells, in partnership with the<br />
Waimakariri District Council, and<br />
expressed concern about the slow<br />
progress being made to restore the area<br />
where trees were removed from the<br />
Ashley/Rakahuri River margin, near<br />
Cones Road.<br />
‘‘Many in our community are keenly<br />

Musical Annie opens on May 12<br />
Stepping out on stage for the opening<br />
night of <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> Musicals<br />
show Annie won’t be quite as scary for<br />
11yearold Cassidy HartleyBrown, as it<br />
was for her mother, Dale, who starred as<br />
Annie when the society first put on the<br />
show in 1987.<br />
For Dale, opening night was her stage<br />
debut.<br />
She had only auditioned for the show<br />
because her friend was doing it.<br />
‘‘Otherwise Iwould have been too<br />
afraid,’’ she says.<br />
When she was given the lead role she<br />
was over the moon.<br />
‘‘ Iwas so shocked, as everyone else<br />
had much more experience than me.’’<br />
Cassidy also admits that going on stage<br />
for the first time on opening night is the<br />
scariest part of performing, but she<br />
comes to her role of the orphan Duffy<br />
with more experience, after playing in<br />
the society's production of Joseph and<br />
the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat last<br />
year.<br />
Also, she has been in several shows<br />
with the Hartley School of Performing<br />
Arts, alocal Rangiora business that grew<br />
out of Dale’s stage experience on the<br />
Town Hall stage.<br />
‘‘This was the point that Idiscovered<br />
the thing that made me happy, the place<br />
where Ibelonged,’’ she says.<br />
‘‘I love that my daughter feels the<br />
same way about theatre.’’<br />
Cassidy says she doesn't feel any<br />
pressure following her mother as she is<br />
playing adifferent role, but is happy to<br />
take advice.<br />
‘‘She reminds me to use my feelings<br />
when Iamsinging.’’<br />
In the future, Cassidy intends to follow<br />
her mothers footsteps and make acareer<br />
on the stage.<br />
‘‘Yes, yes, yes, and yes! Iamjust<br />
passionate about performing and doing<br />
that kind of thing. Ijust want to be in a<br />
theatrical kind of job,’’ she says.<br />

is the story of acourageous orphan who<br />
believes her parents are still alive and<br />
will come to claim her from Miss<br />
Harrigan's orphanage. When billionaire<br />
Oliver Warbucks offers to adopt her, she<br />
asks him to help her find her parents,<br />
but his offer of ahuge reward is too<br />
tempting for Miss Hannigan and the con<br />
artists Rooster and Lily, who hatch a<br />
plot to kidnap Annie and collect the<br />
reward.<br />
Annie will run in the Rangiora<br />

The surveyasked residents for their<br />
feedback on the facilitiesand amenities in<br />
theirunitsand complexes,their<br />
interactions with council property officers<br />
and abouttheir overall wellbeingwhile<br />
livingincouncil housing.<br />
The tenants said they loved the<br />
community feel of their complexes and<br />
how close their unitsare to the main<br />
shopping centres andbus stops.<br />
‘‘It’s really important for us to<br />
understandhow our older peopleare<br />
doing and identify any issues so we can<br />
betterserve our community,’’ Deputy<br />
Mayor Neville Atkinson says.<br />
‘‘While we knowthat there’s stillsome<br />
areas we can improve on, we’re really<br />
pleased thatthe majority of our senior<br />
residentsare happy with their units and<br />
we want to make surethat continues.’’<br />

years, with just under athird of residents<br />

Anzac reflections<br />
Autumn is bringingits usual amazing<br />
arrayofcolour.<br />
This yearisnoexception.<br />
In someparts of the gardenroses<br />
remain in flower, bulbs are popping<br />
through the groundand trees are slowly<br />
losing their leaves.<br />
This visual display highlights the<br />
complexity of nature.<br />
Life is also complex as we reflect on<br />
AnzacDay and what it means to us as<br />
individuals.<br />
As New Zealanders gathered to mark<br />
AnzacDay our attention turns to the<br />
courageousactions of our service<br />
personal,and the sacrifices theyhave<br />
made across our history.<br />
We taketime to remember the<br />
generations of servicemen andwomen<br />
who without guarantee of asafe return,<br />
left their homesand families for shores<br />
unknown.<br />
Whilewereflect on theirexperiences,<br />
we can also give causetoconsider the<br />
division that exists in our world today.<br />
The event in Ukraineisshockingand<br />
distressing, demonstrating the enduring<br />
act of war and conflict for every<br />
individualtouched—theirlives<br />
touched forever.<br />
Let us never forget the example of our<br />
servicemen and women,and consider it<br />
our duty to uphold the legacyby<br />
continuing to stand against division and<br />
hatred andtostrivefor apeaceful future<br />
for all.<br />
We see thatthe human toll of conflict<br />
is not confined to the past, norasingle<br />
generation.<br />
Acts of war can showushumanity at<br />
its worst, howeverNew Zealanders who<br />
served our country, have exhibitedthe<br />

Pastthe peak?Whynow<br />
is thetimeto boost<br />
As bordersopen and restrictions on movements and activities<br />
ease, it is moreimportant nowthan evertobeuptodatewith<br />
your COVID-19 vaccinations. Here, Dr Helen Skinner,ECC<br />
Incident Controller with <strong>Canterbury</strong> DHB, shares why it is upping<br />
the ante on its boostervaccination programme.<br />
By now, we all know someone who has<br />
succumbed to COVID-19. Perhaps you’ve had<br />
COVID-19 yourself?<br />
Forthe lucky few, somemild symptoms and a<br />
bit ofwearinessmight be all thatisexperienced.<br />
But from whatI've seen, morepeople are<br />
suffering some pretty severeeffects,many of<br />
which aregoing on forweeks.<br />
Fortunately, many of us were fully vaccinated<br />
and boosted when the Omicron peak hit<br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong>.Ican’t stateenough justwhata<br />
difference that hasmade. People who areatthe<br />
peak oftheir immunity respond much better to<br />
the virus,and recovermorequickly.<br />
Right now,morethan 90,000 people in<br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> aredue fortheir booster.That’s<br />
why we’reuppingthe ante this month and<br />
reminding people of theimportance of abooster<br />
vaccination.<br />
Winter is fast approaching,and with it, more<br />
time inside -aneven better environment for<br />
spreading COVID-19. Add to this the likelihood<br />
of amuchmoresevere flu season that<br />
we have seenfor years,and the risk this<br />
winter is high.<br />
Getting boostedisthe bestway to<br />
fight Omicron<br />
After awhile, your protectionagainst the<br />
COVID-19 virus starts to drop away.The booster<br />
dose gives youthe added protection youneed<br />
againstOmicron. It increases your immunity<br />
substantially and it reduces the chance of you<br />
sharing it with friends and whānau if youdoget<br />
COVID-19.<br />
If youare 18 or over, and it’s been three<br />
months since your second vaccination, then<br />
you’re duefor your booster.<br />
The greatnewsrecently is that16and 17 year<br />
olds arenow also eligible forboosters. Rangatahi<br />
in this agegroup need to wait sixmonths after<br />
finishing their COVID-19 vaccinations.<br />
Have youhad COVID-19 already?<br />
I’m often hearing from people asking whether,<br />
having had the virus,they still need abooster.<br />
Unfortunately, even if you’vehad COVID-19, you<br />
can getitagain. And, while youget some natural<br />
immunity through having the virus,itdoesn’t<br />
last. So,boostersmatter.You need to wait three<br />
months since having COVID-19 though.<br />
It’s heartening to see thatmostofAotearoa<br />
has now reached the peak of daily COVID-19<br />
cases,but that doesn’t mean the risk has gone.<br />
COVID-19 is going to be<br />
around foralong time,<br />
which is why nowisthe<br />
time to protect yourself<br />
and your whānau –and<br />
the sooner,the better.<br />
Thereare plenty<br />
places youcan get<br />
yourfree booster.Find<br />
your nearestone at<br />

BOOST CANTERBURY<br />
Getting boosted is the bestway to fight Omicron<br />
Join us at avaccination event<br />
near you:<br />
Do Ireally need abooster?<br />
Getting your booster makes<br />
it less likely you’llget really<br />
sick with COVID-19,orpass it on.<br />
It is the bestthing youcan do to<br />
protectyou and your whānau.<br />
When do Ineed to<br />
have my booster?<br />
If you are18or<br />
over and had your<br />
second dose at least<br />
3monthsago,it’s<br />
time to getyourfree<br />
booster vaccine.<br />
I’vehad COVID-19.<br />
Do Ineed to get<br />
boosted?<br />
Yup, because you<br />
can get COVID-19<br />

Autumn with Art in Gardens provides joy<br />
By SHELLEY TOPP<br />
The joy and happiness gardens and art<br />
bring to many people was obvious to see<br />
at the Autumn with Art in Gardens tour<br />
in Culverden last weekend.<br />
Three gardens, Hemingford, owned by<br />
Lissa Holland, Wynyard, owned by Lou<br />
Davison and The Top Cottage, owned by<br />
Jane McIntosh, were opened to the<br />
public last Friday, Saturday and Sunday<br />
for the second annual garden tour.<br />
The three women are all neighbours<br />
who are also close friends and share a<br />
love of gardening and art.<br />
Lissa said they were pleased with the<br />
way the event went and enjoyed<br />
welcoming people into their gardens.<br />
‘‘Everyone was so admiring of the<br />
artwork, gardens and the gorgeous<br />
autumn colours,’’ she said.<br />
Lissa and Jane are both established,<br />
talented artists and had their own<br />
artwork on show in their gardens and<br />
homes during the tour, while Sarah<br />
Beal, of Rangiora, was the guest artist at<br />
Wynyard.<br />
While Hemingford and Wynyard are<br />
both established gardens, The Top<br />
Cottage garden is awork in progress<br />
which only began last November.<br />
Visitors to The Top Cottage saw the<br />
exciting beginnings of agarden in its<br />
infancy, while at Hemingford, a1<br />
hectare garden established on a955<br />
hectare sheep and cattle farm, alarge<br />
stand of 65yearold cedars, nestled at<br />
the foot of the Lowry Peaks Range, is a<br />
spectacular feature.<br />
Wynyard has been established on 4<br />
hectares, the large front lawn providing<br />
awide, open view to the southern<br />
Kaikoura Ranges and aNew Zealand<br />
native garden area attracts kereru,<br />
bellbirds, fantails and bellbirds, while<br />
Lombardy poplars along the driveway<br />
up to the homestead provide a<br />
spectacular entrance.<br />
It was an inspired decision by the<br />
three women to open their gardens to<br />
the public during this time of year with<br />
both Hemingford and Wynyard<br />
providing ablast of autumnal colour and<br />
The Top Cottage garden designed to<br />
showcase colour in future years.<br />
Funds raised from the event go toward<br />
the Autumn with Art in Gardens<br />
Scholarship. Last year it was awarded to<br />
Amuri Area School art student Myla<br />
Roberts.<br />

AMANDA BOWES-DURAND<br />
For those interested in share markets and how to<br />
make serious wealth from them there’s avery interesting<br />
investment firm with a growing <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />
presence. This is the New Zealand based Australasian<br />
hedge fund start up, Chance Voight Investment Partners<br />
Limited (CVI Partners).<br />
Hedge funds, legendary across the world for their<br />
concentrated well-timed callsonthe sharemarketand the<br />
money they’vemadefor theirinvestorbaseweredescribed<br />
in arecentstudyas the‘smartmoney’inthe markets.<br />
Chance Voight has been established with aview to<br />
mining extraordinary profits from the Australian stock<br />
market and asBernard Whimp, the founder and CIO<br />
of Chance Voight, says‘We’ll bedeploying ourunique<br />
insightsand investment style with theaim of compounding<br />
investor capital at 20% per annum orbetter over multiple<br />
years’.<br />
Setting up CVI Partners in 2018 as aspecialist deep<br />
valuestock pickinginvestmentfirm,Bernard waslooking<br />
to capitalize on almost a decade of experience as a<br />
professional investor in companieslisted on theAustralian<br />
sharemarket(theASX).<br />
He concentrates on the ASX, as experience has shown<br />
himthat in this part of theworld that’s wheremany of the<br />
best sharemarketmoney-making opportunities are.<br />
So howdid CVI comeabout?<br />
“Well,” Bernard says, “It’sreally about the sheer joyof<br />
doingwhat you love day andnight”.<br />
Adecadeago,Bernard wanted to test atheory.Hemade<br />
aquick fortune by making offers to buy shares directly<br />
from shareholders incompanies listed on the NZStock<br />
Exchange.<br />
At Christmas time in2010, he launched aseries of<br />
audaciousoff-marketofferswhich sawhim pick upaprofit<br />
of almost $4million in amatter ofmonths, all kicked off<br />
with an initial$7,000investment. Daring to do something<br />
different made lots of money.<br />
To most people, the share market can be abewildering<br />
array of unfathomable numbers –Bernard sees itinfine<br />
granulardetail.<br />
The ASX, with its 2000 companies, provides the<br />
opportunity to be incredibly selectivewhenbuyingshares.<br />
Most years, heisable toidentify ahandful ofterrific<br />
opportunities. The NZX incomparison has only about<br />
160listed companies.<br />
Theshare market is essentially atreasure hunt, he says.<br />
“We’re really more like aprivate equity investment firm<br />
operating inlisted markets with all the advantages ofthe<br />
buy andsellability that listed marketsprovide butwithout<br />
the tortuous negotiations onpurchase that private equity<br />
requires.”<br />
CVI Partners Chief Investment Officer (CIO), Bernard Whimp<br />
The cornerstone of our investment view isthat we aim<br />
to never spend an investor dollar unless webelieve that<br />
we’regetting at leasttwo dollarsofvaluefor it.<br />
“Asafirm, wehunt for situations where wecan obtain<br />
substantial value for nothing, where we can buyastake<br />
in aworthwhile business that is worth alot more than the<br />
price weare paying.”<br />
As Bernard puts it, ‘guys like me don’t believe the<br />
passive index share investing that’s been popular over<br />
the last decade will continue todeliver good returns into<br />
the future and there’s now lots ofevidence emerging that<br />
this passive investment style that so many New Zealand<br />
investorsare involved with onewayor another, has‘hitthe<br />
wall’. We thinkthat ‘stock picking’ where you arelooking<br />
to hold a concentrated portfolio of winning situations<br />
with high probability to the upside maywell prove tobe<br />
asuperior share market investment strategy in the years<br />
ahead.<br />
He doesn’tratemostofwhat goes on around investment<br />
in the share market at all. “It’s essential in ahedge fund<br />
to establish anunconventional investment style. You’re<br />
not likely to make much money doing what everyone else<br />
does, asthe saying goes -You’ve got to be different, and<br />
you’vegot to be right!”<br />
We’re looking to deliver investors annualized returns<br />
at that 20%pa mark. We’re not reinventing the wheel<br />
in doing this. These types ofreturns are typical ofgood<br />
Australian hedge fund operations, it’s just that you’ve<br />
probably never heard of them, and no one’s ever offered<br />
you accesstoone in NewZealand.<br />
Bernard isbuilding Chance Voight with an innovative<br />
structure where besides managing money in the ASX<br />
for external investors Chance Voight will have alot of<br />
‘proprietary capital’ (the firm’s own money) atwork. To<br />
this end the Chance Voight parent company intends to<br />
undertake an initialpublic offering (IPO)inafew months’<br />
time. This will give smaller investors an opportunity to<br />
back the firm’s concentrated stock picking investment<br />
style and learn quite alot about the share market asthe<br />
same time.‘We’llbetryingtoget many of ourinvestment<br />
insights across toourshareholders’,saysBernard.<br />
Christchurchlawyer andfriend,PaulCurrie,has this to<br />
say about Bernard:<br />
“I have never met anyone who has the share market<br />
understanding and insights that Bernard does. He is very<br />
approachable and exceptionally interestingtotalkto.”<br />
Outside ofits ASX share market funds Chance Voight<br />
is keenly aware that what’s important for many New<br />
Zealand investors today is regular cash flow and income<br />
to help pay thebills in these inflationary times. To this end<br />
Chance Voight has itshigh yield mortgage fund available<br />
which paysinvestors regular interest at10% perannum.<br />
All investments in the fund are secured bymortgage<br />
over real estate and perhaps most importantly of all,<br />
the fund does not take on any property development<br />
risk, meaning that the fund does not lend on property<br />
development situations.<br />
As Bernard points out, “it’s lending onlower priority<br />
mortgages todevelopment projects that has caused so<br />
many historical problems for New Zealand investors over<br />
the years and the CVI Fund is designed not to take this<br />
type of risk on board”.<br />

Pay areason to look<br />
at agricultural career<br />
An average growthof13<br />
percent in pay packages in<br />
the last two years is another<br />
reason for moreNew<br />
Zealanders to consider a<br />
career in agriculture,<br />
Federated Farmers<br />
PresidentAndrew Hoggard<br />
says.<br />
The <strong>2022</strong> Federated<br />
FarmersRabobank Farm<br />
RemunerationReport<br />
showssince the 2019/2020<br />
survey weightedaverage<br />
incomes in the dairy sector<br />
have grown15% (to a‘total<br />
package’ average valueof<br />
$67,251).<br />
They’reup14%, to an<br />
average of $66,859, in the<br />
sheepamd beef sector; and<br />
up 7% in arable (to $68,618).<br />
‘‘Oursurvey shows thaton<br />
top of wagesadding in other<br />
factorsthat make up the<br />
totalvalueofremuneration<br />
packages for farmstaff, such<br />
as accommodation, meat,<br />
firewood and KiwiSaver,<br />
there’sseveralthousand<br />
dollarsofextra valueto<br />
workers acrossall the<br />
sectors,’’ Andrewsays.<br />
‘‘In towns and cities, big<br />
chunks of workers’ income<br />
are swallowed by<br />
accommodation costs.<br />
‘‘Butinour dairy sector<br />
75% of employers provide<br />
accommodation for staff<br />
(61% sheep/beef; 41%<br />
arable), withthe average<br />
accommodation cost per<br />
week being $157$187.’’<br />
The survey, carried out by<br />
independent firm Research<br />
First, is based on responses<br />
from 729 employers/farm<br />
sector businessesofall sizes,<br />
coveringatotal of more than<br />
2,200employees.<br />
‘‘So as well as job security<br />
in asectorthat has ploughed<br />

timesasthe engineroom of<br />
our economy, plusthe<br />
satisfaction of working<br />
outdoorsand growing<br />
quality food for families<br />
here and in scores of other<br />
countries,the survey makes<br />
clearthere are solid pay<br />
packages available,’’<br />
Andrew says.<br />
‘‘Those who havethe right<br />
attitude and show<br />
leadershippotential can<br />
find satisfying career<br />
pathways.<br />
‘‘Forexample, in the last<br />
two years the total value of<br />
the remunerationpackage<br />
for adairy operations<br />
manager has jumped25% to<br />
an average$107,593 and a<br />
sheep/beefstock manager is<br />
earning an average 18<br />
percent more in wages and<br />
addons for atotalaverage of<br />
$78,076.<br />
‘‘Farm businesseshave<br />
clearly moved to stay<br />
competitive in atight labour<br />
market, and to reward staff.<br />
‘‘That has been even more<br />
important with the<br />
pandemic disrupting<br />
availability of international<br />
workers.’’<br />

survey alsoshowsthat<br />
across the sector,average<br />
reported hours workedfall<br />

Labour Organisation<br />

standardworking time of 48<br />
hoursper week (forfulltimers<br />
dairy47.2 hours,<br />
sheep/beef 44.8,arable 46.2).<br />
Rabobank New Zealand<br />
chiefexecutive officer Todd<br />
Charteris saidthe <strong>2022</strong><br />
report is the thirteenth<br />
report the bank has<br />
developed in conjunction<br />
with Federated Farmers<br />
sincethe partnership began<br />
in 2008.<br />
‘‘In addition to data on<br />
farm salaries and total<br />
package values, the report<br />
also provides information<br />
related to onfarm positions<br />
across the dairy, sheep, beef<br />
and arable sectors,’’ he says.<br />
Rabobank was proudto<br />
partner with Federated<br />
Farmers to producethis<br />
report which both<br />
employers and employees<br />

Costs eat into profits<br />
By TIM CRONSHAW<br />
Fonterra has foreshadowed a$9.30 to<br />
$9.90 payout for eachkilogram of milk<br />
solidswith a$9.60 mid range.<br />
That could yet go higher for the next<br />
forecast in May before the final wrapup<br />
—ifdairyfuturesmarkets are any<br />
indication.<br />
But the list is growing for increasing<br />
costs —interestrates, wages,<br />
fertiliser,agrichemicals,fuel, animal<br />
health, contracting and overall<br />
inflation.<br />
The costproportion is now believed<br />
to be north of $7.50 for each kilogram<br />
of milksolids produced.<br />
Federated Farmers <strong>North</strong><br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> dairy chairman KarlDean<br />
said this season’srecord forecast<br />
wasn’tlike payoutincreasesofthe<br />
past because costs were rising at the<br />
same time,ratherthan following a<br />
year later.<br />
‘‘It wouldn’t surprise me if it was<br />
$7.50 to $8/kg,’’he said.<br />
‘‘The key is the profitmargin and<br />
that is no more than and could be less<br />
than ayearago whenthe payout was<br />
$7.54/kg.<br />
‘‘We’ve had a$2payout jump but I<br />
doubt we’vehad a$2profitjump.’’<br />
If the forecasted milk price was<br />
adjustedfor inflation, the profit<br />
marginprobablywouldn’t be as high<br />
as 2013’s $8.40/kg.<br />
The Leeston farmer saidfarm costs<br />
had liftedmore than $1/kg andthat<br />
could be expectedtoincrease further<br />
on the backofthe Ukraine war.<br />
He said many farmers didn’t have<br />
the ability to lower their costsaswages<br />
never wentdown and fuelprices don’t<br />

Hurunui almost topples Kaiapoi<br />
RUGBY<br />
By PETER WILLIAMS AND LINDSAY KERR<br />
Saracens and Kaiapoi retained unbeaten<br />
records in thisseason’s LuisettiSeeds<br />
Combined rugby competition,but in vastly<br />
contrastingmanners.<br />
WhileSaracens travelled south and<br />
completely blitzed Rakaia, Kaiapoi’s trip<br />
northtoCulverden almost brought about<br />
its undoing, and it was fourminutesinto<br />
injury time before it finallyrepelled the<br />
valiant challengefrom Hurunui.<br />
HurunuivKaiapoi<br />
This match wasathriller,and agreat<br />
display of running rugby.<br />
Kaiapoi had much the better of the first<br />
half and led 197 at the break. Manymight<br />
have expected Kaiapoi to run away in the<br />
second half, but Hurunui had different<br />
ideas. Displaying its trademark resilience<br />
it fought its way back into the game to<br />
bringthe scores level22allwith 20<br />
minutes to play. There was no further<br />
scoreuntilHurunuiwas awarded a<br />
penalty in front,and Kyle Mckenzie raised<br />
the flags with the clock showing 83<br />
minutes of playingtime.<br />
Therewas stilltime for akickoff.<br />
Hurunui’sexit from the kick off failed to<br />
find touch,and Kaiapoi flanker, Matt<br />
Etheredge,made astrongrun up the<br />
middle, offloading to winger Kimeon<br />
Readewho celebrated his 50th matchfor<br />
the team by scoring in the corner.<br />
Hurunui 25 (NordyAnderson, Jonathon<br />
Schwass, Ben Funnell tries, Simon Smith<br />
and Kyle McKenzie conversions,<br />
McKenzie 2penalties) lost to Kaiapoi27<br />
Nathan CassidyRichards, Kimeon Reade<br />
(2) and TaineJacobsLawson tries ,Jacobs<br />
Lawson 2conversions and apenalty).<br />
Oxford vSouthbridge<br />
In amatchplayed at OxfordonThursday<br />
evening, Oxford again surrendered an<br />
earlylead with Southbridge leading 245 at<br />
halftime, and extending to 315 soon after<br />
the resumption.<br />
Despite that massive deficit, Oxford<br />
fought back,getting very good value from<br />
some of its benchplayers —TevitaPongi,<br />
Stew Dalzell and Shannon Croy.<br />
Oxford evenhad the opportunityof<br />
kicking apenaltyinthe dyingminutes, to<br />
gain an extra bonus point, but opted to<br />
attempt to score another try.For the<br />
second week in arow Oxford notched a<br />
4trybonus point. Three of the tries went<br />

Ashley vLincoln<br />
Ashley is provingvery competitive,but<br />
remainswinless.<br />
Abigger, strongerLincolnunit<br />
dominatedthe forward battlethroughout,<br />
but Lincoln’sbackswere muchless<br />
impressive and made alot of mistakes. On<br />
the other hand, Ashley’s forwards<br />
struggled to get much ballfor abackline<br />
thatconstantly looked dangerous,<br />
Playing under an injury cloud, Nathan<br />
Emery at first five made very good use of<br />
whatball Ashleydid get. Matt Couch at<br />
second five bristled with aggressive<br />
running, and made anumber of breaks.<br />
Its firsttry camewhen Couch linkedup<br />
withfullback ,Luke Gold, who timed his<br />
run into the backline withperfection,<br />
before linking up with the strongrunning<br />
KorbynGray to score wide out.<br />
Grayhad an impressive all roundgame,<br />
constantly lookingfor work, and was areal<br />
danger whenever he got the ballinhand.<br />
ASshley's stoutdefencewas afeature of<br />
he match.Tireless Jack Regan set the<br />
standard in this regard,making astring of<br />
tackles, but the whole team should feel<br />
veryproud of theirdefensive efforts.<br />

WingerGeorge Wigginswas<br />

while Tom Wedlake and Caleb Parsons,<br />
who is usually ahalfback but was playing<br />
on the wing, alsoscored.<br />
With ScottAllin addingthree<br />
conversions, all Ohoka’s pointswere<br />
scoredbybacks, but some of the forwards<br />
made an importantcontributiontothe<br />
team effort where Ben Gold was again to<br />
the forefront, working tirelessly to secure<br />
turnover ball. Jack Wedlakeand Tom<br />
Webster impressed.<br />
Southern 46 beat Ohoka 31 (George<br />
Wiggins (3),Tom Wedlake, CalebParsons<br />

Woodend vDarfield<br />
A1532defeat of Woodend at the handsof<br />
Darfield did not reflect the even natureof<br />
the game.<br />
Darfield went into the game as the<br />
favourites, but was made to workhard for<br />
the full80minutes. WhileDarfield led<br />
throughout, whenever it scored, Woodend<br />
foughtback.<br />
With the score at 228, and 20 minutes<br />
into the secondhalf, the rub of the green<br />
was to go againstWoodend when it was<br />
reducedto14players following ayellow<br />
cardfor adangerous tackle.<br />
Headingthe Woodend effortwas again<br />
fullback Jordie Swaine. He scored all of<br />
his team’s points with two triesand kicked<br />
the points.<br />
Bothtries signalled hisclass. For the<br />
first he sidesteppedhis way throughthe<br />
opposition, and for the second entered a<br />
blind side move on an angle to create a<br />
gap.Connor Swaine on the right wing had<br />
alively gameuntil the yellow card was<br />
issued.<br />
Woodend15(Jordie Swaine2tries, 1<br />
conversion, 1penalty) losttoDarfield 30.<br />
GlenmarkCheviotvCeltic<br />
Thiswas atoughaway match for<br />
GlenmarkCheviot. The leadseesawed<br />
throughout the firsthalf. Glenmark<br />
Cheviot wenttothe break with a1312 lead<br />
but two tries to Celticinthe middle of the<br />
second half meant the visitors were<br />
chasing the gamefor the last quarter.<br />
Celtic scoredfour triestoone suggesting<br />
theywere clearlythe superior team.<br />
However it was not the caseasGlenmark<br />
Cheviot was verymuch on top for<br />
extended periods.<br />
It was thisterritorial dominance that<br />
enabledfullback Corrigan Harnetttokick<br />
fourpenaltygoals.<br />
All were longrangeaffairs. It was its<br />
abilitytofinish off opportunities like these<br />
thatprovedthe winning of the game in the<br />
end.<br />
Celtic 24 beat GlenmarkCheviot 19<br />
(Thomas Blyth try, Corrigan Harnett 4<br />
penalties and 1conversion).<br />
Rakaia vSaracens<br />
Rakaia started the seasonwell with awin<br />
overWest Melton, but despite agood start,<br />
Saracens defence held and it was not long<br />
before the Saracens’ forwards established<br />
ascendancy. All four first half tries were<br />
scored by forwards with Connor Higgins<br />
and AlexKennedy leading the waywith<br />
two each.<br />
In the second half though, it was the turn<br />
of the backs who ran amokscoring at a<br />
point aminute.Toby Ashbywas<br />
outstanding withhis hardand direct<br />
running at centre provingaconstant<br />
headache for the Rakaiadefence. He was<br />
the deserved winner of the manof thematch<br />
award.<br />

Safety Improvements aFocus for the<br />
Rangiora-Ashley Community Board<br />
Community safety improvements were akey focus<br />
of the Rangiora-Ashley Community Board meeting<br />
on 13 <strong>April</strong>, with recommendations for animproved<br />
lighting plan for Rangiora and Kaiapoi and safer<br />
parking options around Rangiora Borough School.<br />
The Board endorsed anew lighting concept design<br />
plan for Rangiora and Kaiapoi to help improve the<br />
safety and aesthetics ofthe two town centres.<br />
For Rangiora, the plan includes adding warmer<br />
lighting to improve safety along the main street,<br />
while still using existing heritage light fittings<br />
and poles to protect the history and style ofHigh<br />
Street. The new lighting will also allow the Council<br />
to have more control ofthe lights and even change<br />
the colours for special events and festivals.<br />
In Kaiapoi, the plan includes improvements<br />

Working Alongside the Community<br />
The Woodend-Seon Community Board meeting<br />
on 11 <strong>April</strong> focused on parks and recreation<br />
projects including aplayground at Woodend Beach,<br />
proposed removal of hedging in Waikuku Beach,<br />
plans for Seon Hall and the development ofa<br />
spatial plan for Waikuku Beach.<br />
Waikuku residents shared with Board members<br />
their experience of living in the shadow ofalarge<br />
macrocarpa hedge in the beach settlement. Staff<br />
presented the results ofcommunity consultation<br />
carried out in 2021 about the hedge to the Board.<br />
While there was amixed response from residents,<br />
the Board agreed that the hedge should be<br />
removed. Funding will need to be secured from<br />
the Council to complete the removal and aconcept<br />
plan will be prepared for native planting toprovide<br />
habitat, shelter and food for native birds.<br />
Aworkshop was held to explore locations for the<br />
Woodend Beach playground and toilets which will<br />
be redeveloped next year. Residents shared their<br />
ideas about play equipment and possible locations<br />
with the Board.<br />
Shona Powell Board Chairsays, “It is heartening to<br />
see good community engagement at the centre of<br />
the work that’s being proposed in these areas. It’s<br />
important our community have the opportunity to<br />
sharetheir views andprovidefeedback thatcan help<br />
the Board make decisions. We alsowelcome the public<br />

Drinking Water –<br />
Plumbosolvency Health Notice<br />
In New Zealand, most drinking water is<br />
plumbosolvent, which means it can dissolve very<br />
small amounts of metals from older pipes or from<br />
metal fittings such as taps.<br />
As an example, when you turn off atap there will be<br />
asmall amount of water left in the tap body. If this<br />
water is left sitting inthe tap for hours it may<br />
dissolve metals from the tap body.<br />
Although the health risk isnegligible, your local<br />
Council is recommending that all households flush a<br />
cup of water from their drinking water taps each<br />
morning before use.<br />
This is in line with the Drinking Water Standards for<br />
New Zealand.<br />
All households are advised to take this precaution,<br />
whether they are on apublic orprivate water<br />
supply.<br />
If you want toknow more, check with your plumber<br />
or contact your local Council for more information.<br />
