Sutton Tools plans 

rebuild in Rangiora 

By SHELLEY TOPP 

Anew Sutton Tools factory will be 

built in Rangiora following the 

demise of the Kaiapoi factory which 

was badly damaged by fire in 

January. 

Demolition of the old factory 

building is almost completed, but 

the new factory will rise on 13.8 

hectares of land on the corner of 

Todds and Fernside roads in 

Rangiora, says Sutton Tools (NZ) 

general manager Kevin Donovan. 

‘‘The Kaiapoi site is now 

surrounded by more and more 

residential property and is no 

longer ideal for large scale 

industrial manufacturing,’’ he says. 

‘‘We are really excited about the 

new site.’’ 

The demolition of the old building 

and waste removal from the site had 

been acomplicated process due to 

asbestos issues with the old roof. 

‘‘We are aware that the 

demolition process has been noisey 

and disruptive for neighbours and 

we thank them for their patience. 

The Waimakariri District Council 

and staff have also been very 

supportive,’’ he says. 

‘‘We have made changes to some 

remaining buildings in preparation 

for limited manufacturing on the 

current site as we complete 

machine building projects. 

‘‘This should start in May/June.’’ 

It is expected to take 1218 months 

to build the new factory with similar 

time frames likely for new 

machines, purchased from 

overseas, to be delivered to the new 

factory. 

Fifty staff have been made 

redundant. 

‘‘Many found jobs very quickly, 

some have chosen to take abreak 

for awhile and others retired. We 

were inundated with job offers/ 

opportunities from local employers 

and agencies,’’ Kevin said.

‘‘Seventeen staff have taken 

temporary roles at our factories in 

Australia, and others have been 

redeployed to help our engineering 

team in Kaiapoi. We have tried to 

retain as much specialised skill and 

experience as we can, however with 

the reduced income we have had to 

make some difficult choices.’’ 

Fire investigators have been 

unable to identify what caused the 

January 30 fire. 

‘‘This is disappointing as we 

would like to know what caused it,’’ 

Kevin said. 

Waimakariri Mayor Dan Gordon 

says its great to hear Sutton Tools 

has found anew home in 

Waimakariri. 

‘‘This will be aloss to Kaiapoi but 

it’s great this business that’s such an 

institution in the District is here to 

stay.’’ 

He says he, deputy Mayor Neville 

Atkinson and council staff, have 

been working with the company 

since the fire to help them reestablish. 

‘‘We’re committed to continuing 

to help Sutton Tools as they move up 

the road to Southbrook in 

Rangiora.’’

Crowdsgather to remember 

By ROBYN BRISTOW 

Crowds turned out at Anzac 

Day services throughout 

North Canterbury. 

Several dawn services 

were held with young and old 

joining together to 

remember in the early 

morning darkness. 

Alone bugler stood at his 

gate in Rangiora at 6am and 

played the Last Post and and 

Reveille using acornet 

bought by ayoung man on his 

21st birthday —May 18, 1939, 

the year WWII began. 

In Hanmer Springs the 

Amuri Mounted Rifles 

paraded, while Amberley, 

Pegasus and Woodend also 

held dawn services. 

Mayor Marie Black, who 

spoke at the Amberley 

service, and several smaller 

services in the district, said 

attention turned to the 

courageous actions of 

service personnel, and the 

sacrifices they have made 

across ‘‘our history’’. 

‘‘We take time on Anzac 

Day to remember the 

generations of servicemen 

and women who without 

guarantee of asafe return, 

left their homes and families 

for shores unknown. 

‘‘While we reflect on their 

experiences, we can also give 

cause to consider the 

division that exists in our 

world today. 

‘‘The event in Ukraine is 

shocking and distressing, 

demonstrating the enduring 

act of war and conflict. For 

every individual touched, 

their lives are touched 

forever. 

‘‘Let us never forget the 

example of our servicemen 

and women and consider it 

our duty to uphold the legacy 

by continuing to stand 

against division and hatred, 

and to strive for apeaceful 

future for all. We see that the 

human toll of conflict is not 

confined to the past, nor a 

single generation,’’ said Mrs 

Black.

Hedge needs axing -residents 

By ADAM BURNS 

Maintenance of an ‘‘out of control’’ 

hedge at Waikuku Beachcould cost 

ratepayers 

tensofthousands 

of dollars 

over the next 

coupleofyears, 

despite plans 

for it to be cut 

down. 

But there are 

hopes the axing of the shadowy shrub 

can be fasttracked, following 

suggestionsits removalwas at least 

another two yearsaway. 

Plans for the macrocarpa shelterbelt 

hedge,which stands betweensix to 

eight metres high on Parks Avenue, 

continue to causeheadaches for the 

small beachtown community, including 

funding avenuesfor the hedge’s swift 

removal. 

Areport was tabled at the Woodend 

SeftonCommunity Board meetinga 

fortnight ago which recommended the 

hedge be removed. 

However it was initially proposed the 

project be considered for inclusion in 

the Waimakariri District Council’s 2024 

Long Term Plan, with costs for the 

removal of the hedge and replanting 

estimatedatabout $105,000. 

The hedge could also absorb ongoing 

maintenance costs ‘‘atHealth and 

Safetylevels’’until it was removed in 

2024/2025, according to the report. 

Maintenance of the hedgecosts the 

council about $20,000 for the firsttrim, 

followed by afurther cost of ‘‘between 

$10,000 and $15,000 every18months’’. 

Duringapublic deputation at the 

April 11 meeting, Waikuku Beach 

resident Jo Kane fumed at the proposed 

timeframes following ,what she 

described as, some drawnout 

deliberationswith council staff on the 

Anzac Day atime to reflect

Powerlines brought down plane 


The Canterbury Recreational Aircraft 

Club has instituted a‘‘200 foot minima’’ 

for practicing simulated engine failure 

exercises following aSafety 

Investigation Report after alight 

aircraft accident 12 months ago. 

Astudent on his third lesson, and his 

instructor, nosedived into apaddock 

after ZKRGB clipped powerlines 

during asimulated engine failure 

exercise, on April 28 last year. 

Both pilots required hospital 

treatment for their injuries. 

The Safety Investigation Report into 

the incident during flight training, was 

published on the CAA website earlier 

this month. 

The CAA report says aconclusion from 

its investigations was the instructor and 

student had descended lower than was 

considered necessary during the engine 

failure exercise. 

At around 30 feet, the aircraft clipped 

powerlines and hit the ground nosedown 

after flying through agap in a 

hedge, and turning slightly to the right to 

get abetter distance to land in. ‘‘The 

instructor reported not being very 

familiar with the area, and usually 

conducted simulations elsewhere. 

Due to calm weather on the day, 

however, the instructor determined the 

area was appropriate for the 

exercise,’’the CAA report says. 

It says neither the instructor from the 

Rangiorabased Canterbury 

Recreational Aircraft Club, or the 

student, aRangiora retiree, saw the 

powerlines due to the hedge ‘‘largely’’ 

obscuring the power poles and lines. 

‘‘There were limited visual cues for

were present,’’ the report says. 

However, although the instructor was 

operating within the rules at the time of 

the accident, the CAA report says the 

descent was continued to a‘‘height 

lower than necessary to demonstrate the 

success of this simulation’’.

instructor was not following lesson 

content guidelines as recommended by 

the Recreational Aircraft Association of 

New Zealand and the CAA. 

The student was on his third lesson, 

all of which included simulated engine 

failures, and also several other different 

skills such as affects of controls, straight 

and level turning climbing and 

descending, and circuits. 

‘‘This was not in line with the RAANZ 

or CAA flight instruction guideline. 

‘‘The instructor said he wanted to 

demonstrate to students awider range 

of exercises to capture their interest and 

keep students enthused about coming 

back for subsequent flights,’’ the report 

says. 

He also said demonstrating simulated 

engine failures early in training, helped 

allay fears of what would happen if 

there was an engine failure. 

The conclusions in the report cite the 

introduction of advanced skills to presolo 

students ‘‘is likely to overwhelm the 

student and limit the effectiveness of 

learning’’. 

In response to the report the club has 

introduced the 200ft minima for practice 

of simulated engine failure, agreed to 

follow lesson delivery guidelines as 

outlined on the RANZ and CAA 

websites, and the RAANZ has 

communicated its expectations to 

members that flight instruction had to 

be in accordance with the guidelines. 

Student Alan Macdonald, says he has 

not been put off flying by the accident, 

but has resigned from the club as he is 

unable to reconcile the president’s 

published comments in the national 

media at the time of the accident, with 

the CAA report. 

Lobbying continues on 3Waters 

BY ADAM BURNS, 

Local Democracy Reporter 

Somecommonground between 

community leadersand the 

Government on Three Watershas been 

recognised,Waimakariri Mayor Dan 

Gordon says. 

But whether theCommunities 4 

Local Democracy(C4LD) group’s 

efforts willhalt therollout of the 

controversial reforms, remains to be 

seenafter it continuestolobby for 

‘‘moreworkable’’ alternative options. 

Mr Gordon,who is serving as deputy 

chair of thegroup, was recently joined 

by HurunuiMayorMarie Black and 

Kaikoura MayorCraig Mackle fora 

presentation to Local Government 

Minister Nanaia Mahuta in Wellington. 

A10point proposal hasbeen floated 

by thegroup, which it believescan 

achieve ‘‘broadand cross party 

support’’. 

Some of the key pointsofthe model 

centre around‘‘meaningful’’ 

community asset propertyrights, a 

‘‘nationaland objective’’subsidy 

scheme and apartnershipwith mana 

whenua around investment decision 

making. 

‘‘Thewhole local government sector 

is eager to partner and work withthe 

Governmenttoturnthis around and 

find alasting solutionthatcouncilsand 

communitiescan all support,’’Mr 

Gordon says. 

He saysthe ministerand her officials 

were interested in themodel andasked 

several questions of the group. 

‘‘We received an acknowledgement 

from theminister thatweagree on 

several key points,’’ he says. 

‘‘Thereisstill timetofind alasting 

solutionthataddresses ThreeWaters 

concerns while retaininglocalism.’’ 

North Canterbury’s community 

leaders continue to speak outonthe 

current proposal. 

Mrs Black says thereforms werenot 

fit forpurpose for suchdistricts like 

the Hurunui. 

‘‘These mega entitieswillnever have 

the samelevelofcommunity 

connection and responsivenessofa 

locally managed anddelivered 

alternatives such as the C4LDhave 

provided.’’ 

Mr Macklesaysthe Government’s 

preferred model didnot build on local 

knowledge,orits partnership withiwi. 

‘‘These areall core elements to 

effectivereformand I’ll be astounded 

if the Government continue to push 

ahead despitealmost universal 

feedback against this.’’

Rate increase doesn’trecognise hardship 


Environment Canterbury’s (ECan) 

proposed 24.5 percent rates increase, 

makes the sector appear unresponsive 

to the ‘‘significant and genuine’’ 

hardship in the rate paying community, 

says the Waimakariri District Council. 

In asubmission presented to ECan on 

its draft annual plan on Wednesday, 

Waimakariri Mayor Dan Gordon said in 

the face of pandemic impacts and steep 

rises in the cost living, the proposed 

increase doesn’t acknowledge the 

realities many households are facing. 

He said when added to last year’s 

increase, ratepayers would be facing a 

34 percent increase over two years. 

Asignificant contributor to the 

increase is aproposed trial of changes 

in public transport fare structures, in 

response to climate change and in abid 

to reduce emissions. 

Mr Gordon said his council urged 

ECan to pause fare structures until the 

community has ‘‘ meaningful 

opportunity’’ to consider alternative 

options for achieving the ends ECan is 

seeking. 

He said atrial is ‘‘somewhat 

unrealistic’’ and on the available 

evidence, any emission reduction 

benefits gained, on the available 

evidence would be small and expensive.

‘‘The proposed increase in uniform 

targeted passenger transport (urban) 

rates per property, over six years in 

Waimakariri is 247%, including 26% in 

2022/2023. 

‘‘This level of increase is 

unsustainable.’’ 

The council also questions if it is 

appropriate to use the rating system in 

this way, in what amounts to ‘‘income 

redistribution for social and 

environmental outcomes’’. 

‘‘These changes are being promoted 

without reference to ECan’s statement 

of community outcomes, nor abenefits 

analysis in relation to its revenue and 

financing policy: and, outside of the 

framework for joint working under the 

Greater Christchurch Partnership and 

the regional land transport planning 

process.’’ 

Mr Gordon says the council does not 

dispute many in the community are 

doing it tough and afare concession 

would assist them. 

‘‘But the Government has responded 

to this with benefit and minimum wage 

changes, as well as its own fare 

reductions with Budget 2022 yet to 

come.’’ 

The council also questions the 

proposed funding formulae for 

recovering costs associated with 

localised flood recovery and protection 

across the regional community. 

He asked ECan to pause until areport 

by the combined Regional and Unitary 

Council’s Group, Central Government 

Coinvestment in Flood Protection 

Schemes: ACall for National Leadership 

and Urgent Action to Meet the Flood 

Hazard Risks Arising from Climate 

Change,isresponded to by Government. 

It also expresses concerns about a 

future levy to fund action in response to 

climate change. 

‘‘We recognise the challenges that 

climate change presents,’’ Mr Gordon 

said. 

More rigorous assessment, and 

documentation was needed before the 

proposal could be considered in a 

meaningful way. 

‘‘Without that, in its current form, it is 

difficult to support this until more 

definitive uses of this potential fund are 

subject to community consultation,’’ Mr 

Gordon said. 

He also called on ECan to help fund 

the monitoring of water quality in 

private wells, in partnership with the 

Waimakariri District Council, and 

expressed concern about the slow 

progress being made to restore the area 

where trees were removed from the 

Ashley/Rakahuri River margin, near 

Cones Road. 

‘‘Many in our community are keenly 

watching its progress in line with their 

expectation that this valued special 

area be appropriately restored/ 

replanted.’’

Musical Annie opens on May 12 

Stepping out on stage for the opening 

night of North Canterbury Musicals 

show Annie won’t be quite as scary for 

11yearold Cassidy HartleyBrown, as it 

was for her mother, Dale, who starred as 

Annie when the society first put on the 

show in 1987. 

For Dale, opening night was her stage 

debut. 

She had only auditioned for the show 

because her friend was doing it. 

‘‘Otherwise Iwould have been too 

afraid,’’ she says. 

When she was given the lead role she 

was over the moon. 

‘‘ Iwas so shocked, as everyone else 

had much more experience than me.’’ 

Cassidy also admits that going on stage 

for the first time on opening night is the 

scariest part of performing, but she 

comes to her role of the orphan Duffy 

with more experience, after playing in 

the society's production of Joseph and 

the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat last 

year. 

Also, she has been in several shows 

with the Hartley School of Performing 

Arts, alocal Rangiora business that grew 

out of Dale’s stage experience on the 

Town Hall stage. 

‘‘This was the point that Idiscovered 

the thing that made me happy, the place 

where Ibelonged,’’ she says. 

‘‘I love that my daughter feels the 

same way about theatre.’’ 

Cassidy says she doesn't feel any 

pressure following her mother as she is 

playing adifferent role, but is happy to 

take advice. 

‘‘She reminds me to use my feelings 

when Iamsinging.’’ 

In the future, Cassidy intends to follow 

her mothers footsteps and make acareer 

on the stage. 

‘‘Yes, yes, yes, and yes! Iamjust 

passionate about performing and doing 

that kind of thing. Ijust want to be in a 

theatrical kind of job,’’ she says.

Council housing tenantsare happy with 

theiraccommodation, according to a 

recent Waimakariri District Council 

survey. 

The council recently surveyed senior 

residents living in council housing across 

the district. 

More thanhalf of the tenants took part in 

the survey, which found that 90 percentof 

thosesurveyed were either ‘‘satisfied’’ or 

‘‘very satisfied’’ with their homes. 

The surveyasked residents for their 

feedback on the facilitiesand amenities in 

theirunitsand complexes,their 

interactions with council property officers 

and abouttheir overall wellbeingwhile 

livingincouncil housing. 

The tenants said they loved the 

community feel of their complexes and 

how close their unitsare to the main 

shopping centres andbus stops. 

‘‘It’s really important for us to 

understandhow our older peopleare 

doing and identify any issues so we can 

betterserve our community,’’ Deputy 

Mayor Neville Atkinson says. 

‘‘While we knowthat there’s stillsome 

areas we can improve on, we’re really 

pleased thatthe majority of our senior 

residentsare happy with their units and 

we want to make surethat continues.’’

OPINION 


Anzac reflections 

Autumn is bringingits usual amazing 

arrayofcolour. 

This yearisnoexception. 

In someparts of the gardenroses 

remain in flower, bulbs are popping 

through the groundand trees are slowly 

losing their leaves. 

This visual display highlights the 

complexity of nature. 

Life is also complex as we reflect on 

AnzacDay and what it means to us as 

individuals. 

As New Zealanders gathered to mark 

AnzacDay our attention turns to the 

courageousactions of our service 

personal,and the sacrifices theyhave 

made across our history. 

We taketime to remember the 

generations of servicemen andwomen 

who without guarantee of asafe return, 

left their homesand families for shores 

unknown. 

Whilewereflect on theirexperiences, 

we can also give causetoconsider the 

division that exists in our world today. 

The event in Ukraineisshockingand 

distressing, demonstrating the enduring 

act of war and conflict for every 

individualtouched—theirlives 

touched forever. 

Let us never forget the example of our 

servicemen and women,and consider it 

our duty to uphold the legacyby 

continuing to stand against division and 

hatred andtostrivefor apeaceful future 

for all. 

We see thatthe human toll of conflict 

is not confined to the past, norasingle 

generation. 

Acts of war can showushumanity at 

its worst, howeverNew Zealanders who 

served our country, have exhibitedthe 

best of humanvalues,courage, 

compassion and the spirit of service. 

Attendance across the district has 

been strongagain thisyear giventhe 

more recent disruptionsthrough the 

effect of Covid19 over the pasttwo 

years. 

Iwas privileged to speak at the 

AmberleyDawn service, and morning 

servicesatOmihi and Waipara. 

My thankstoall RSA personaland 

volunteer groups forthe planning,and 

preparation that is required in 

organising thisday of significance. 

Thanks also to the buglers, pipersand 

the children from all contributing 

schools who participated in theservices. 

Adelightfulstory has just unfolded. 

Between Hawardenand Waikari 

plinths have been erectedtorecognise 

our fallen soldiers beside the oak trees, 

and each year apoppy is attachedto 

each plinth. 

Untilnow it has beenamysterywho 

has undertaken thisspecial task—a 

thoughtful ex residentofHawarden 

visits to place the poppies one by one in 

remembrance. 

Thankyou NeroliIacknowledge your 

thoughtfulness.

Pastthe peak?Whynow 

is thetimeto boost 

As bordersopen and restrictions on movements and activities 

ease, it is moreimportant nowthan evertobeuptodatewith 

your COVID-19 vaccinations. Here, Dr Helen Skinner,ECC 

Incident Controller with Canterbury DHB, shares why it is upping 

the ante on its boostervaccination programme. 

By now, we all know someone who has 

succumbed to COVID-19. Perhaps you’ve had 

COVID-19 yourself? 

Forthe lucky few, somemild symptoms and a 

bit ofwearinessmight be all thatisexperienced. 

But from whatI've seen, morepeople are 

suffering some pretty severeeffects,many of 

which aregoing on forweeks. 

Fortunately, many of us were fully vaccinated 

and boosted when the Omicron peak hit 

Canterbury.Ican’t stateenough justwhata 

difference that hasmade. People who areatthe 

peak oftheir immunity respond much better to 

the virus,and recovermorequickly. 

Right now,morethan 90,000 people in 

Canterbury aredue fortheir booster.That’s 

why we’reuppingthe ante this month and 

reminding people of theimportance of abooster 

vaccination. 

Winter is fast approaching,and with it, more 

time inside -aneven better environment for 

spreading COVID-19. Add to this the likelihood 

of amuchmoresevere flu season that 

we have seenfor years,and the risk this 

winter is high. 

Getting boostedisthe bestway to 

fight Omicron 

After awhile, your protectionagainst the 

COVID-19 virus starts to drop away.The booster 

dose gives youthe added protection youneed 

againstOmicron. It increases your immunity 

substantially and it reduces the chance of you 

sharing it with friends and whānau if youdoget 

COVID-19. 

If youare 18 or over, and it’s been three 

months since your second vaccination, then 

you’re duefor your booster. 

The greatnewsrecently is that16and 17 year 

olds arenow also eligible forboosters. Rangatahi 

in this agegroup need to wait sixmonths after 

finishing their COVID-19 vaccinations. 

Have youhad COVID-19 already? 

I’m often hearing from people asking whether, 

having had the virus,they still need abooster. 

Unfortunately, even if you’vehad COVID-19, you 

can getitagain. And, while youget some natural 

immunity through having the virus,itdoesn’t 

last. So,boostersmatter.You need to wait three 

months since having COVID-19 though. 

It’s heartening to see thatmostofAotearoa 

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 foralong time, 

which is why nowisthe 

time to protect yourself 

and your whānau –and 

the sooner,the better. 

Thereare plenty 

places youcan get 

yourfree booster.Find 

your nearestone at 

BoostCanterbury.nz Dr Helen Skinner 

BOOST CANTERBURY 

Getting boosted is the bestway to fight Omicron 

Join us at avaccination event 

near you: 

Do Ireally need abooster? 

Getting your booster makes 

it less likely you’llget really 

sick with COVID-19,orpass it on. 

It is the bestthing youcan do to 

protectyou and your whānau. 

When do Ineed to 

have my booster? 

If you are18or

second dose at least 

3monthsago,it’s 

time to getyourfree

Autumn with Art in Gardens provides joy 

By SHELLEY TOPP 

The joy and happiness gardens and art 

bring to many people was obvious to see 

at the Autumn with Art in Gardens tour 

in Culverden last weekend. 

Three gardens, Hemingford, owned by 

Lissa Holland, Wynyard, owned by Lou 

Davison and The Top Cottage, owned by 

Jane McIntosh, were opened to the 

public last Friday, Saturday and Sunday 

for the second annual garden tour. 

The three women are all neighbours 

who are also close friends and share a 

love of gardening and art. 

Lissa said they were pleased with the 

way the event went and enjoyed 

welcoming people into their gardens. 

‘‘Everyone was so admiring of the 

artwork, gardens and the gorgeous 

autumn colours,’’ she said. 

Lissa and Jane are both established, 

talented artists and had their own 

artwork on show in their gardens and 

homes during the tour, while Sarah 

Beal, of Rangiora, was the guest artist at 

Wynyard. 

While Hemingford and Wynyard are 

both established gardens, The Top 

Cottage garden is awork in progress 

which only began last November. 

Visitors to The Top Cottage saw the 

exciting beginnings of agarden in its 

infancy, while at Hemingford, a1 

hectare garden established on a955 

hectare sheep and cattle farm, alarge 

stand of 65yearold cedars, nestled at 

the foot of the Lowry Peaks Range, is a 

spectacular feature. 

Wynyard has been established on 4 

hectares, the large front lawn providing 

awide, open view to the southern 

Kaikoura Ranges and aNew Zealand 

native garden area attracts kereru, 

bellbirds, fantails and bellbirds, while 

Lombardy poplars along the driveway 

up to the homestead provide a 

spectacular entrance. 

It was an inspired decision by the 

three women to open their gardens to 

the public during this time of year with 

both Hemingford and Wynyard 

providing ablast of autumnal colour and 

The Top Cottage garden designed to 

showcase colour in future years. 

Funds raised from the event go toward 

the Autumn with Art in Gardens 

Scholarship. Last year it was awarded to 

Amuri Area School art student Myla 

Roberts.

AMANDA BOWES-DURAND 

For those interested in share markets and how to 

make serious wealth from them there’s avery interesting 

investment firm with a growing North Canterbury 

presence. This is the New Zealand based Australasian 

hedge fund start up, Chance Voight Investment Partners 

Limited (CVI Partners). 

Hedge funds, legendary across the world for their 

concentrated well-timed callsonthe sharemarketand the 

money they’vemadefor theirinvestorbaseweredescribed 

in arecentstudyas the‘smartmoney’inthe markets. 

Chance Voight has been established with aview to 

mining extraordinary profits from the Australian stock 

market and asBernard Whimp, the founder and CIO 

of Chance Voight, says‘We’ll bedeploying ourunique 

insightsand investment style with theaim of compounding 

investor capital at 20% per annum orbetter over multiple 

years’. 

Setting up CVI Partners in 2018 as aspecialist deep 

valuestock pickinginvestmentfirm,Bernard waslooking 

to capitalize on almost a decade of experience as a 

professional investor in companieslisted on theAustralian 

sharemarket(theASX). 

He concentrates on the ASX, as experience has shown 

himthat in this part of theworld that’s wheremany of the 

best sharemarketmoney-making opportunities are. 

So howdid CVI comeabout? 

“Well,” Bernard says, “It’sreally about the sheer joyof 

doingwhat you love day andnight”. 

Adecadeago,Bernard wanted to test atheory.Hemade 

aquick fortune by making offers to buy shares directly 

from shareholders incompanies listed on the NZStock 

Exchange. 

At Christmas time in2010, he launched aseries of 

audaciousoff-marketofferswhich sawhim pick upaprofit 

of almost $4million in amatter ofmonths, all kicked off 

with an initial$7,000investment. Daring to do something 

different made lots of money. 

To most people, the share market can be abewildering 

array of unfathomable numbers –Bernard sees itinfine 

granulardetail. 

The ASX, with its 2000 companies, provides the 

opportunity to be incredibly selectivewhenbuyingshares. 

Most years, heisable toidentify ahandful ofterrific 

opportunities. The NZX incomparison has only about 

160listed companies. 

Theshare market is essentially atreasure hunt, he says. 

“We’re really more like aprivate equity investment firm 

operating inlisted markets with all the advantages ofthe 

buy andsellability that listed marketsprovide butwithout 

the tortuous negotiations onpurchase that private equity 

requires.” 

CVI Partners Chief Investment Officer (CIO), Bernard Whimp 

The cornerstone of our investment view isthat we aim 

to never spend an investor dollar unless webelieve that 

we’regetting at leasttwo dollarsofvaluefor it. 

“Asafirm, wehunt for situations where wecan obtain 

substantial value for nothing, where we can buyastake 

in aworthwhile business that is worth alot more than the 

price weare paying.” 

As Bernard puts it, ‘guys like me don’t believe the 

passive index share investing that’s been popular over 

the last decade will continue todeliver good returns into 

the future and there’s now lots ofevidence emerging that 

this passive investment style that so many New Zealand 

investorsare involved with onewayor another, has‘hitthe 

wall’. We thinkthat ‘stock picking’ where you arelooking 

to hold a concentrated portfolio of winning situations 

with high probability to the upside maywell prove tobe 

asuperior share market investment strategy in the years 

ahead. 

He doesn’tratemostofwhat goes on around investment 

in the share market at all. “It’s essential in ahedge fund 

to establish anunconventional investment style. You’re 

not likely to make much money doing what everyone else 

does, asthe saying goes -You’ve got to be different, and 

you’vegot to be right!” 

We’re looking to deliver investors annualized returns 

at that 20%pa mark. We’re not reinventing the wheel 

in doing this. These types ofreturns are typical ofgood 

Australian hedge fund operations, it’s just that you’ve 

probably never heard of them, and no one’s ever offered 

you accesstoone in NewZealand. 

Bernard isbuilding Chance Voight with an innovative 

structure where besides managing money in the ASX 

for external investors Chance Voight will have alot of 

‘proprietary capital’ (the firm’s own money) atwork. To 

this end the Chance Voight parent company intends to 

undertake an initialpublic offering (IPO)inafew months’ 

time. This will give smaller investors an opportunity to 

back the firm’s concentrated stock picking investment 

style and learn quite alot about the share market asthe 

same time.‘We’llbetryingtoget many of ourinvestment 

insights across toourshareholders’,saysBernard. 

Christchurchlawyer andfriend,PaulCurrie,has this to 

say about Bernard: 

“I have never met anyone who has the share market 

understanding and insights that Bernard does. He is very 

approachable and exceptionally interestingtotalkto.” 

Outside ofits ASX share market funds Chance Voight 

is keenly aware that what’s important for many New 

Zealand investors today is regular cash flow and income 

to help pay thebills in these inflationary times. To this end 

Chance Voight has itshigh yield mortgage fund available 

which paysinvestors regular interest at10% perannum. 

All investments in the fund are secured bymortgage 

over real estate and perhaps most importantly of all, 

the fund does not take on any property development 

risk, meaning that the fund does not lend on property 

development situations. 

As Bernard points out, “it’s lending onlower priority 

mortgages todevelopment projects that has caused so 

many historical problems for New Zealand investors over 

the years and the CVI Fund is designed not to take this 

type of risk on board”.

Pay areason to look 

at agricultural career 

An average growthof13 

percent in pay packages in 

the last two years is another 

reason for moreNew 

Zealanders to consider a 

career in agriculture, 

Federated Farmers 

PresidentAndrew Hoggard 

says. 

The 2022 Federated 

FarmersRabobank Farm 

RemunerationReport 

showssince the 2019/2020 

survey weightedaverage 

incomes in the dairy sector 

have grown15% (to a‘total 

package’ average valueof 

$67,251). 

They’reup14%, to an 

average of $66,859, in the 

sheepamd beef sector; and 

up 7% in arable (to $68,618). 

‘‘Oursurvey shows thaton 

top of wagesadding in other 

factorsthat make up the 

totalvalueofremuneration 

packages for farmstaff, such 

as accommodation, meat, 

firewood and KiwiSaver, 

there’sseveralthousand 

dollarsofextra valueto 

workers acrossall the 

sectors,’’ Andrewsays. 

‘‘In towns and cities, big 

chunks of workers’ income 

are swallowed by 

accommodation costs. 

‘‘Butinour dairy sector 

75% of employers provide 

accommodation for staff 

(61% sheep/beef; 41% 

arable), withthe average 

accommodation cost per 

week being $157$187.’’ 

The survey, carried out by 

independent firm Research 

First, is based on responses 

from 729 employers/farm 

sector businessesofall sizes, 

coveringatotal of more than 

2,200employees. 

‘‘So as well as job security 

in asectorthat has ploughed 

aheadthrough tough COVID 

timesasthe engineroom of 

our economy, plusthe 

satisfaction of working 

outdoorsand growing 

quality food for families 

here and in scores of other 

countries,the survey makes 

clearthere are solid pay 

packages available,’’ 

Andrew says. 

‘‘Those who havethe right 

attitude and show 

leadershippotential can 

find satisfying career 

pathways. 

‘‘Forexample, in the last 

two years the total value of 

the remunerationpackage 

for adairy operations 

manager has jumped25% to 

an average$107,593 and a 

sheep/beefstock manager is 

earning an average 18 

percent more in wages and 

addons for atotalaverage of 

$78,076. 

‘‘Farm businesseshave 

clearly moved to stay 

competitive in atight labour 

market, and to reward staff. 

‘‘That has been even more 

important with the 

pandemic disrupting 

availability of international 

workers.’’ 

The FedsRabobank 

survey alsoshowsthat 

across the sector,average 

reported hours workedfall 

belowthe International 

Labour Organisation 

recommended maximum 

standardworking time of 48 

hoursper week (forfulltimers 

dairy47.2 hours, 

sheep/beef 44.8,arable 46.2). 

Rabobank New Zealand 

chiefexecutive officer Todd 

Charteris saidthe 2022 

report is the thirteenth 

report the bank has 

developed in conjunction 

with Federated Farmers 

sincethe partnership began 

in 2008. 

‘‘In addition to data on 

farm salaries and total 

package values, the report 

also provides information 

related to onfarm positions 

across the dairy, sheep, beef 

and arable sectors,’’ he says. 

Rabobank was proudto 

partner with Federated 

Farmers to producethis 

report which both 

employers and employees 

can usetohelp guide 

remuneration discussions. 

Costs eat into profits 

By TIM CRONSHAW 

Fonterra has foreshadowed a$9.30 to 

$9.90 payout for eachkilogram of milk 

solidswith a$9.60 mid range. 

That could yet go higher for the next 

forecast in May before the final wrapup 

—ifdairyfuturesmarkets are any 

indication. 

But the list is growing for increasing 

costs —interestrates, wages, 

fertiliser,agrichemicals,fuel, animal 

health, contracting and overall 

inflation. 

The costproportion is now believed 

to be north of $7.50 for each kilogram 

of milksolids produced. 

Federated Farmers North 

Canterbury dairy chairman KarlDean 

said this season’srecord forecast 

wasn’tlike payoutincreasesofthe 

past because costs were rising at the 

same time,ratherthan following a 

year later. 

‘‘It wouldn’t surprise me if it was 

$7.50 to $8/kg,’’he said. 

‘‘The key is the profitmargin and 

that is no more than and could be less 

than ayearago whenthe payout was 

$7.54/kg. 

‘‘We’ve had a$2payout jump but I 

doubt we’vehad a$2profitjump.’’ 

If the forecasted milk price was 

adjustedfor inflation, the profit 

marginprobablywouldn’t be as high 

as 2013’s $8.40/kg. 

The Leeston farmer saidfarm costs 

had liftedmore than $1/kg andthat 

could be expectedtoincrease further 

on the backofthe Ukraine war. 

He said many farmers didn’t have 

the ability to lower their costsaswages 

never wentdown and fuelprices don’t 

seem to drop as muchasthe oil price. 

‘‘All the costs havecreeped up 

internationally and that’snot just New 

Zealand. 

Give and take ... Federated Farmers 

North Canterbury dairy chairman Karl 

Dean is worried rising costs are 

consuming much of the record milk 

price. 

PHOTO: FEDERATED FARMERS 

‘‘Fertiliser’shad ahuge jumpand 

we haven’t heard thelastofthis as this 

jump is related to Covid19. 

‘‘Thejump coming is related to the 

war in Ukraine and that’saffecting 

production worldwide.’’ 

He said it was a‘‘vicious circle’’ with 

lowerproduction reinforcing 

commodity prices and overseas 

competitors would soonlobbyfor 

subsidies to be lifted. 

The dairy cull is still increasing in 

the United States as more farmers 

swingtobeef becauseofhigh feed 

costsand production is also down 

because of high inputs in Europe. 

Mr Dean said the April 1increase 

for the minimum wage had closed the 

gap betweenthese workersand lowerrung 

managers who would alsowant a 

pay rise. 

Apoor harvestwould sendgrain and 

seed prices‘‘through the roof’’.

Hurunui almost topples Kaiapoi 

RUGBY 

By PETER WILLIAMS AND LINDSAY KERR 

Saracens and Kaiapoi retained unbeaten 

records in thisseason’s LuisettiSeeds 

Combined rugby competition,but in vastly 

contrastingmanners. 

WhileSaracens travelled south and 

completely blitzed Rakaia, Kaiapoi’s trip 

northtoCulverden almost brought about 

its undoing, and it was fourminutesinto 

injury time before it finallyrepelled the 

valiant challengefrom Hurunui. 

HurunuivKaiapoi 

This match wasathriller,and agreat 

display of running rugby. 

Kaiapoi had much the better of the first 

half and led 197 at the break. Manymight 

have expected Kaiapoi to run away in the 

second half, but Hurunui had different 

ideas. Displaying its trademark resilience 

it fought its way back into the game to 

bringthe scores level22allwith 20 

minutes to play. There was no further 

scoreuntilHurunuiwas awarded a 

penalty in front,and Kyle Mckenzie raised 

the flags with the clock showing 83 

minutes of playingtime. 

Therewas stilltime for akickoff. 

Hurunui’sexit from the kick off failed to 

find touch,and Kaiapoi flanker, Matt 

Etheredge,made astrongrun up the 

middle, offloading to winger Kimeon 

Readewho celebrated his 50th matchfor 

the team by scoring in the corner. 

Hurunui 25 (NordyAnderson, Jonathon 

Schwass, Ben Funnell tries, Simon Smith 

and Kyle McKenzie conversions, 

McKenzie 2penalties) lost to Kaiapoi27 

Nathan CassidyRichards, Kimeon Reade 

(2) and TaineJacobsLawson tries ,Jacobs 

Lawson 2conversions and apenalty). 

Oxford vSouthbridge 

In amatchplayed at OxfordonThursday 

evening, Oxford again surrendered an 

earlylead with Southbridge leading 245 at 

halftime, and extending to 315 soon after 

the resumption. 

Despite that massive deficit, Oxford 

fought back,getting very good value from 

some of its benchplayers —TevitaPongi, 

Stew Dalzell and Shannon Croy. 

Oxford evenhad the opportunityof 

kicking apenaltyinthe dyingminutes, to 

gain an extra bonus point, but opted to 

attempt to score another try.For the 

second week in arow Oxford notched a 

4trybonus point. Three of the tries went

Brooker, while his fellowloose forward, 

industrious Jesse Houston scoredthe 

other. 

Oxford 26 (Daniel Brooker (3), Jesse 

Houstontries, Matt Roberts 3conversions) 

losttoSouthbridge 36. 

Ashley vLincoln 

Ashley is provingvery competitive,but 

remainswinless. 

Abigger, strongerLincolnunit 

dominatedthe forward battlethroughout, 

but Lincoln’sbackswere muchless 

impressive and made alot of mistakes. On 

the other hand, Ashley’s forwards 

struggled to get much ballfor abackline 

thatconstantly looked dangerous, 

Playing under an injury cloud, Nathan 

Emery at first five made very good use of 

whatball Ashleydid get. Matt Couch at 

second five bristled with aggressive 

running, and made anumber of breaks. 

Its firsttry camewhen Couch linkedup 

withfullback ,Luke Gold, who timed his 

run into the backline withperfection, 

before linking up with the strongrunning 

KorbynGray to score wide out. 

Grayhad an impressive all roundgame, 

constantly lookingfor work, and was areal 

danger whenever he got the ballinhand. 

ASshley's stoutdefencewas afeature of 

he match.Tireless Jack Regan set the 

standard in this regard,making astring of 

tackles, but the whole team should feel 

veryproud of theirdefensive efforts. 

Ashley 17 (Korban Gray,Luke Gold tries,

Southern vOhoka 

In ahigh scoringmatch at Hinds,ittook 

two latetriesbySouthern to finally put to 

bed the challengeofagallant Ohoka side. 

WingerGeorge Wigginswas 

outstanding, scoringahattrickoftries, 

while Tom Wedlake and Caleb Parsons, 

who is usually ahalfback but was playing 

on the wing, alsoscored. 

With ScottAllin addingthree 

conversions, all Ohoka’s pointswere 

scoredbybacks, but some of the forwards 

made an importantcontributiontothe 

team effort where Ben Gold was again to 

the forefront, working tirelessly to secure 

turnover ball. Jack Wedlakeand Tom 

Webster impressed. 

Southern 46 beat Ohoka 31 (George 

Wiggins (3),Tom Wedlake, CalebParsons 

tries,Scott Allin3conversions). 

Woodend vDarfield 

A1532defeat of Woodend at the handsof 

Darfield did not reflect the even natureof 

the game. 

Darfield went into the game as the 

favourites, but was made to workhard for 

the full80minutes. WhileDarfield led 

throughout, whenever it scored, Woodend 

foughtback. 

With the score at 228, and 20 minutes 

into the secondhalf, the rub of the green 

was to go againstWoodend when it was 

reducedto14players following ayellow 

cardfor adangerous tackle. 

Headingthe Woodend effortwas again 

fullback Jordie Swaine. He scored all of 

his team’s points with two triesand kicked 

the points. 

Bothtries signalled hisclass. For the 

first he sidesteppedhis way throughthe 

opposition, and for the second entered a 

blind side move on an angle to create a 

gap.Connor Swaine on the right wing had 

alively gameuntil the yellow card was 

issued. 

Woodend15(Jordie Swaine2tries, 1 

conversion, 1penalty) losttoDarfield 30. 

GlenmarkCheviotvCeltic 

Thiswas atoughaway match for 

GlenmarkCheviot. The leadseesawed 

throughout the firsthalf. Glenmark 

Cheviot wenttothe break with a1312 lead 

but two tries to Celticinthe middle of the 

second half meant the visitors were 

chasing the gamefor the last quarter. 

Celtic scoredfour triestoone suggesting 

theywere clearlythe superior team. 

However it was not the caseasGlenmark 

Cheviot was verymuch on top for 

extended periods. 

It was thisterritorial dominance that 

enabledfullback Corrigan Harnetttokick 

fourpenaltygoals. 

All were longrangeaffairs. It was its 

abilitytofinish off opportunities like these 

thatprovedthe winning of the game in the 

end. 

Celtic 24 beat GlenmarkCheviot 19 

(Thomas Blyth try, Corrigan Harnett 4 

penalties and 1conversion). 

Rakaia vSaracens 

Rakaia started the seasonwell with awin 

overWest Melton, but despite agood start, 

Saracens defence held and it was not long 

before the Saracens’ forwards established 

ascendancy. All four first half tries were 

scored by forwards with Connor Higgins 

and AlexKennedy leading the waywith 

two each. 

In the second half though, it was the turn 

of the backs who ran amokscoring at a 

point aminute.Toby Ashbywas 

outstanding withhis hardand direct 

running at centre provingaconstant 

headache for the Rakaiadefence. He was 

the deserved winner of the manof thematch 

award.

Rangiora Hockey Club teamswere 

involved in anumberofbig wins and 

heavy defeats last weekendbut these 

didn't always tell the true story of the 

game. 

Despite missingseven front line 

players, Rangiora Gold Division 2Men's 

team took apart the SouthernStrikers 

82. 

Meanwhile Rangiora CBK Division 1 

women's teamcouldn't match Marist,

Thegameofthe weekend saw the 

young Rangiora Korimako women's 

team sneak in alate winning goal against 

Waikirikiri. 

In MidWeek Open action, the Mighty 

Midweek Men's Ateam was too strong for 

bottomofthetable University Wizards. 

TheRangiora Allsorts held its own 

from much of its clashwith topofthetable 

Marist Gooses, but luck was not on 

its side,missingmultiple scoring 

opportunities in agame that was much

Safety Improvements aFocus for the 

Rangiora-Ashley Community Board 

Community safety improvements were akey focus 

of the Rangiora-Ashley Community Board meeting 

on 13 April, with recommendations for animproved 

lighting plan for Rangiora and Kaiapoi and safer 

parking options around Rangiora Borough School. 

The Board endorsed anew lighting concept design 

plan for Rangiora and Kaiapoi to help improve the 

safety and aesthetics ofthe two town centres. 

For Rangiora, the plan includes adding warmer 

lighting to improve safety along the main street, 

while still using existing heritage light fittings 

and poles to protect the history and style ofHigh 

Street. The new lighting will also allow the Council 

to have more control ofthe lights and even change 

the colours for special events and festivals. 

In Kaiapoi, the plan includes improvements 

to lighting along Williams Street to help local 

residents feel safer while walking at night time. 

There’s also plans to light up the underside of the 

Williams Street Bridge to highlight it as afocal 

point in the town centre. 

“Keeping ourlocal community safe is alwaysakey 

concern andimprovementstolightingintheseareas 

have beenalong timecoming,”saysJim Gerard, 

Chair ofthe Rangiora-AshleyCommunity Board.

Working Alongside the Community 

The Woodend-Seon Community Board meeting 

on 11 April focused on parks and recreation 

projects including aplayground at Woodend Beach, 

proposed removal of hedging in Waikuku Beach, 

plans for Seon Hall and the development ofa 

spatial plan for Waikuku Beach. 

Waikuku residents shared with Board members 

their experience of living in the shadow ofalarge 

macrocarpa hedge in the beach settlement. Staff 

presented the results ofcommunity consultation 

carried out in 2021 about the hedge to the Board. 

While there was amixed response from residents, 

the Board agreed that the hedge should be 

removed. Funding will need to be secured from 

the Council to complete the removal and aconcept 

plan will be prepared for native planting toprovide 

habitat, shelter and food for native birds. 

Aworkshop was held to explore locations for the 

Woodend Beach playground and toilets which will 

be redeveloped next year. Residents shared their 

ideas about play equipment and possible locations 

with the Board. 

Shona Powell Board Chairsays, “It is heartening to 

see good community engagement at the centre of 

the work that’s being proposed in these areas. It’s 

important our community have the opportunity to

Drinking Water – 

Plumbosolvency Health Notice 

In New Zealand, most drinking water is 

plumbosolvent, which means it can dissolve very 

small amounts of metals from older pipes or from 

metal fittings such as taps. 

As an example, when you turn off atap there will be 

asmall amount of water left in the tap body. If this 

water is left sitting inthe tap for hours it may 

dissolve metals from the tap body. 

Although the health risk isnegligible, your local 

Council is recommending that all households flush a 

cup of water from their drinking water taps each 

morning before use. 

This is in line with the Drinking Water Standards for 

New Zealand. 

All households are advised to take this precaution, 

whether they are on apublic orprivate water 

supply. 

If you want toknow more, check with your plumber 

or contact your local Council for more information.
