Sprintcars ‘a hell of
a buzz’ says champ
• By Allan Batt
AS HE CLOSES in on 50,
Southbridge Speedway racer
Dave Kerr thinks he has “one
more national championship”
race in him.
Kerr is upbeat about taking
part in the New Zealand
Sprintcar Championship at Ruapuna
Speedway over Waitangi
weekend.
Early in his career Kerr won
the national minisprint championship,
before moving up into
the powerful midget cars. He
went on to become the most
successful South Island driver in
that section of all time.
Last season Kerr was asked
by Springston couple Neville
and Jo Chapman if he would be
interested in driving their V8
sprintcar. The timing was right
for the 30-year speedway veteran.
“I loved the midget cars,
but the class numbers weren’t
particularly strong. The switch
to sprintcars was something I’d
contemplated, but in many ways
I wish I’d done it earlier.”

THE COALGATE community
is trying to raise $18,000 for
security cameras in a bid to
prevent crime.
Thirteen will be sought, which
will be placed around the entrance
points to the settlement –
if the money to pay for them can
be found.
Said Malvern
Community Board
chairman Ken
May: “It’s basically
being done by the
community as
much as anything
else for their own
security. With the

number of thefts, burglaries, car
conversions and things like that,
there was a need to try and identify
who was doing it.”
Organisations like p​ub
charities, which fund community
projects from hotel gaming machines,
would be approached to
contribute, he said.
Coalgate Residents Committee
chair Daryl Smith said getting
cameras placed at the entrance
points to the township is one of the
community’s projects for 2023.

PREBBLETON resident Marcus
Peters is encouraging others in
the district to share his love of
growing giant pumpkins.
He started a
Facebook group
called Giant
Pumpkins of
Prebbleton 10
months ago
and inspired
Prebbleton
School pupils Marcus
to give growing Peters
them a go.
Peters says his fascination
with giant structures –
including leaves and oversized
fruit and vegetables – goes back
more than a decade.
“It’s probably my third
(consecutive) year of growing
giant pumpkins, but I grew my
first giant pumpkin about 15
years ago when we were living
in Somerfield, I entered it into
the Little River Giant Pumpkin
Festival and came third, it
weighed about 50 kilos,” Peters
said.
The current Guinness World
Record for the heaviest pumpkin
is currently held by Italian
grower Stefano Cutrupi, with
a massive pumpkin weighing
1226 kilograms. The record was
recorded on September 26, 2021.
Peters isn’t quite wanting to go
that large, but hopes some of the
seedlings he’s grown can reach
more than the 340 kilos that

was recorded at the Little River
festival.
Sadly the huge pumpkins
aren’t fit for human
consumption.
“They’re purely a visual
spectacle, but they can be
used as feed for livestock, who
apparently love it,” Peters said.
“It is a closed sustainable
loop.”
Keen to share the love of
giant vegetable growing, Peters
has sold packets of seeds as a
fundraiser for the Prebbleton
School PTA.
Many packets of seeds have
gone to school children, and
Peters hopes growing the
pumpkins will encourage them
to take up gardening.
Tricks of the trade include
keeping the oversized vegies
shaded from the sun so their
leathery skin doesn’t harden and
restrict expansion, and keeping
their bottoms warm by keeping
them off the ground.
Peters’ latest crop of pumpkins
was planted in November ,with
the biggest one so far already the
size of a basketball.
He’s hoping Giant Pumpkins
of Prebbleton can “grow, gain
momentum and become
something like the Little River
festival, as it adds another
quirky dimension to the
community, doesn’t it.”

Driver’s last shot
at the nationals
• From page 1
Said Kerr: “(Sprintcars) are
big fields, they are big powerful
cars to drive, and a hell of a buzz
too. There is a real neat bunch of
people involved in the class too.
Most of my team were ready for
a change and a challenge – this
is it.”
Kerr is not particularly
concerned about driving one of
the older cars in the field – and
one that’s a bit unique too.
“We have the only Fordengined
car in the field. The
car’s got a season or two on it,
but we updated some of the vital
components. It runs strong and
I couldn’t be happier.”
While undaunted by the
strength of the field entered for
the nationals, Kerr is not getting
ahead of himself.
“There are 45 entries, and
a bunch of North Islanders
coming plus two Americans.
The car’s up for the battle, but I
could be a bit fitter.
“To make the 20-car field
for the final will be a hell of
an achievement for any of the
drivers. There will be another
20 or so drivers left in the pits
wondering ‘what if’, but I love
the big nights. You really need

and I’d love to have a reasonable
run. A lot can happen over two
nights of racing. It’s tough on
the track, teams and equipment,
but we will give it a crack.”
Kerr is also acutely aware
that the country’s biggest
sprintcar race won’t be back in
Christchurch for seven or eight
years and its likely to be his last
run in a national championship.
“I think by then wrestling an
800-horsepower race car around
a 400-metre track may be a bit
beyond me but I’m still loving
my racing.
“The Selwyn district has such
a strong speedway heritage and
following and I’m proud to be
part of it. I wouldn’t miss it for
quids.”
Pure Goodness and
Better Health with
Filtration Canterbury
Our bodies depend on water for survival and optimum health.
Therefore, accessing clean and pure drinking water every day
is essential. From the 15th of November 2022, chlorine has
been added to Selwyn’s water supply and public drinking water
to comply with the Water Services Act 2021. Many people are
unhappy with this requirement as they are concerned with the
effects due to this added chlorine. For example, they report their
water now has an unpleasant taste, their skin is irritated, especially
those with eczema, or they are worried about the potential damage
to appliances and water cylinders. However, it is possible to remove
chlorine from your water supply, and Filtration Canterbury has a
solution for every situation, whether it’s a city, town, or rural water
supply.
Filtration Canterbury can ensure you have access to safe and
filtered drinking water with various filtration systems to meet
your requirements. With extensive experience, Richard Ellis of
Filtration Canterbury says, “It’s all about health and well-being
and what’s in your water.” He confirms they will provide advice
and recommendations to assist with water filtration solutions for
domestic town and rural water supplies and offer a customised
water treatment solution that best fits you, your family, and your
local water supply. Filtration Canterbury is committed to providing
at-home drinking water systems, including state-of-the-art reverse
osmosis water filtration systems with sophisticated interchangeable
filters. These systems are internationally recognised as being the
most effective over the widest range of contaminants and are an
economical solution to water quality issues.
The high-quality filtration systems are quick and easy to install
by a handyperson or plumber, whether an under-bench or wholehouse
system. Richard advised that while no regular service is
required, you should change the system filters every 12-18 months
to ensure your water remains chlorine-free, without bacteria and
other water contaminants.
For pure goodness, make a healthy choice to drink quality,
better-tasting water and use it more efficiently with Filtration
Canterbury’s advanced filtration systems. To discuss which
system best suits your needs or for more information, contact
Richard on 03 925 8392 or visit www.filtrationcanterbury.co.nz/.

AN ORGANISED group of
unofficial police intelligence
gatherers has been formed in
the Cass Bay – Governors Bay
area to help police intercept
drivers for ‘anti-social’ driving
behaviour.
It has contributed to nine
different drivers and car owners
being dealt with over the past
five months for a number of
driving offences, including doing
burnouts and skids, as well as
failing to give information to police.
Several cars have also been
impounded.
The informal group was
formed after a meeting
between police, bay residents
and community leaders about
how best to deal with bad
driver behaviour in the area,
particularly between Lyttelton
and Governors Bay.
A member, Cass Bay resident
Scott Adams, said he knew of
six cars stopped near Rāpaki
for excessive noise, which were
probably intercepted as a result
of information the group had
provided.
Sergeant Anna Partridge said
it was a challenge putting a stop
to speeding and noisy driving
because police didn’t have the
resources to patrol all the time
and, by the time locals report an
incident, the perpetrators have
often moved on.
The partnership
with locals gathering
information to send
to police “helps us see
patterns so we can take
appropriate action” at the
best times, she said.
“We thank locals for

problem has probably
got worse since the Evans
Pass to Lyttelton Rd was
reopened and lockdown was
lifted.”
It was a problem all the way
from Sumner to Lyttelton to
Dyers Pass and Gebbies Pass,
with drivers treating the roads
like a race track, he said.
Said Partridge: “The harbour
basin also acts a bit like an
auditorium, with driving
noise amplified around the
hills, making it a particular
problem.”

season looks promising as harvest starts
“Crop harvest is just getting
under way, so there will likely
be good concentrations of birds
on freshly harvested fields,” said
Garrick.
“It’s a good opportunity to get
out and meet your local farmers
while re-honing your shooting
skills for opening weekend in
May.”
Hunters are encouraged to
be mindful of how they handle
bagged birds if they are spending a
long time out in the field. The heat
during summer can lead to meat
spoilage, so hunters should have a
plan to keep birds cool and don’t
pile them on top of each other.
Said Garrick: “If you’re looking
for somewhere to go hunting,
first find the ducks. Keep in mind
ducks tend to roost on bigger
bodies of water at night and fly
out to feed in the early morning
and late evening.
“Next, keep an eye out
for freshly harvested crops,
particularly when they are close
to bigger lakes, wetlands, and
irrigation ponds. If you can’t find
those, reach out.”

lap at the beginning of the event through
until the candlelight ceremony at the close
of the day.”
“After two years of disruption due to the
Covid pandemic, this is a poignant opportunity
for our community to get together
and do some good,” he said.
“Selwyn is the fastest-growing region
in New Zealand, so we hope to see lots of
new faces at the 2023 relay..
“As our population grows, so too does
the number of people who are suffering
from cancer or know someone who is, and
it is vital that these people can access local
support when they need it.”
The event will run for 12 hours from
10am to 10pm and the goal is to have 60
teams involved.

The onemonth-old

Wildlife
Park’s
Facebook
page.
30 January 2023 marks the twoyear
anniversary of the “new”
Trusts Act 2019. Despite it already
being two years since the Trusts
Act came into effect, we are still
seeing Trusts where no action has
been taken to bring the Trust up
to speed. To ensure your Trust is
fit for purpose, and to limit your
personal liability as a trustee, get in
contact with the TP team.
The Act provided us with a list
of trustee duties that must be
adhered to. These duties are
intended to protect beneficiaries,
help provide consistency in trust
administration, and from them we
have built best practice standards.
The mandatory duties for
trustees are that they must:
• Know the terms of the trust.
• Act in accordance with those
trust terms.
• Act honestly and in good faith.
• Act for `the benefit of
beneficiaries or the trust’s
purpose.
• Exercise their powers for a
proper purpose.
In addition to the mandatory
trustee duties, the Act sets
out a list of default duties that
apply to trustees unless they are
specifically excluded by the Trust
Deed. The default duties are as
follows:
• Exercise reasonable skill and care.
• Invest prudently.
• Do not exercise trustee powers
for their own benefit.
• Consider actively and regularly
whether the trustee should be
exercising one or more of the
trustee’s powers.
• Do not bind or commit trustees
to a future exercise of discretion.
• Avoid conflicts of interest.
• Act impartially.
• Do not profit from their position.
• Do not act for reward.
• Act unanimously.
We are often asked about
beneficiary disclosure obligations,
and whether Trustees should
maintain a Trust or whether it
should now be wound up. The
answers to these questions
are, of course, very specific to
the particular Trust and set of
circumstances. Our advice, on
whether a Trust remains worth
retaining, will, among other things,
take into account what the Trust
was settled for – what was its
purpose? Is this purpose still valid?
Is the Trust still an effective tool in
meeting this objective?
Our team takes an individualised
approach to meet your needs when
it comes to your Trust, ensuring
that it is managed effectively to
fulfil your objectives, and it remains
robust and compliant.

Fast food over helping bashed toddler
• By Emily Moothouse
THE MOTHER of a toddler
who suffered 14 fractures
and significant burns – some
consistent with cigarettes –
has been accused of showing
“no remorse whatsoever” as
she won’t come clean on who
inflicted the injuries.
The mother told medical staff
tales about how her toddler –
who is likely to be affected by
his injuries for the rest of his life
– woke up with a rash or fell off
tables to explain the significant
injuries he suffered, the Crown
said.
The woman, who cannot be
named to protect the identity
of the children, appeared in the
district court for sentencing last
week.
She faced two representative
charges of assaulting a child and
ill-treatment of a child, which
she pleaded guilty to in August
last year and was remanded on
electronically monitored bail.
The woman’s partner, who is
not the biological father of the
child was jailed for two years in
October last year for not seeking
medical help for the toddler.
However, he was released immediately
as he had already served
480 days in custody.
The court heard that the woman
had several young children in
her care at the time and was the
only adult residing at the home.
The assault charges related to
two of her children who have
“high needs”. The court heard
the woman would chase them
into their room and smack and
punch them until they cried
when they misbehaved.
The neglect charges related to
the woman not seeking medical
help for her toddler after he suffered
three full-thickness burns
on his finger, scalp and face area,
consistent with cigarette burns.
The toddler also suffered burns
to the cheeks, upper lip, eyelids,
eyes, neck and chest caused by
an unknown hot liquid as well
as 14 fractures which could be
caused by twisting or squeezing,
the summary of facts said.
The woman was aware of the
injuries as she had texted friends
saying she needed supplies from
the pharmacy or that she was
going to take the toddler to the
doctor.
Texts sent by the woman on
May 4, 2021, stated it was going
to be a “rough night” for the toddler
and he was up crying every
10 minutes.
But instead of seeking medical
attention for the toddler the next
day, the woman instead took
his siblings to McDonald’s for
breakfast.
Later that day she took the
boy to a clinic with a bruised
and swollen leg, wounds on his
finger, an abrasion or burn to his
face and small scratches on his
head. He was also unable to open
his eyes due to the burns on his
face.
The summary of facts revealed
no medical attention had been
sought or at least 18 hours after
the serious burns were sustained,
which the woman said appeared
spontaneously.
She added that the boy had
woken with a rash, fallen off a
coffee table and had hand, foot
and mouth disease.
It was the paediatrician’s view
that the 14 fractures were a result
of inflicted injuries that would
have caused the toddler “considerable
pain” and would continue
to have long-term effects.
He was transported to
Christchurch Hospital due to
the severity of his injuries and
medical reports stated that
the injuries appeared to be
“inflicted”.
The woman’s lawyer David
Goldwater said that his client
showed remorse and was “trying
to make amends” for her
behaviour.
He also said her addiction to
methamphetamine should be
taken into consideration when
imposing a sentence.
However, Crown Prosecutor
William Taffs said that the
woman showed “no remorse
whatsoever” as she was still hiding
who had caused some of the
injuries to the toddler.
“If there had been genuine
remorse police right now would
know exactly who caused 14
fractures to a toddler,” he said.
Taffs said the child was
likely to suffer ongoing effects
that will impact him for the rest
of his life and the woman was
playing a game of “charades”
with hospital staff as she gave
“flimsy excuses” to cover up the
injuries.
“She knows who it was, there
is no plausible way that she
doesn’t.”
Judge Callaghan gave the
woman discounts for her drug
addiction, guilty plea, and
time spent on electronically
monitored bail.
He sentenced her to two years
and four months imprisonment.

Possums show they can learn from each other
SOCIAL LEARNING is
possum-able, world-first research
suggests.
Using a $9 dog treat toy,
Canterbury University master’s
student Emma Godfrey has
conducted research showing,
for the first time, that common
brushtail possums can learn
from their peers.
“As far as we were able to find,
this study is the first to have
looked into the social learning
abilities of common brushtail
possums, which is very exciting,”
Godfrey said.
The toy served as a puzzle,
with five different coloured
domes. Two were ‘target domes’,
containing chocolate hazelnut
spread.
“We were trying to teach them
to open the target domes to get
to the rewards as an incentive for
learning,” said Godfrey.
Meanwhile, ‘observer’ possums
in adjacent pens watched the
‘demonstrator’ possums for five
nights before getting the chance
to solve the puzzle themselves.
While two of the eight demonstrators
solved the puzzle on the
first night, and three succeeded
on later nights, the possums who
watched them did much better.
All 15 observers succeeded in
solving the puzzle on the first
night, strongly suggesting they
learnt from watching the demonstrators.
Emma Godfrey
Although the experiment
sounds fun, it has potentially
serious implications for pest
eradication in New Zealand.
“I think the more we can
understand about how possums
learn (or stoats or rats,
which New Zealand also aims
to eradicate), this can hopefully
provide us with ways of improving
current methods or creating
new ways of pest control,” said
Godfrey.
“New Zealand’s biodiversity is
heavily impacted by possums so
any new knowledge that can help
with eradication is important
in order to protect our native
species.”
The next stage is to explore
whether possums can also learn
from each other what to stay
away from.
“More research needs to be
done to test, explicitly, if social
learning is helping possums
avoid baits and traps.”
The paper – Social learning
in a nocturnal marsupial: is it a
possum-ability? – was published
with supervisors Professor Elissa
Cameron (Ngāi Tahu) from UC
and Graham Hickling from
Manaaki Whenua Landcare
Research, in the Royal Society
Biology Letters journal.
Working with experienced
supervisors and publishing her
first paper was exciting, Godfrey
said.
Following a double major in
biology and psychology, Godfrey
said she knew she most wanted
to work with animals and study
their behaviour.
“Anyone who knows me knows
that I’ve always been drawn to
animals, and I genuinely love
learning about all aspects of
them, so being able to do my own
animal behaviour research was a
dream come true,” she said.
Godfrey’s dream continues
with a UC Aho Hīnātore Accelerator
scholarship, paving the
way for a PhD.
Meanwhile, her current research
is attracting attention.
“If I look back on when
I started and we were just
beginning to design the
experiment, I never would’ve
expected the interest people
have shown in it, so it’s a wild
experience really.”
UPSKILLING: Possums can learn by watching their peers,
according to new research.

Fourteen-year-old sentenced on 84 charges
• By Emily Moorhouse
A 14-YEAR-OLD boy involved
in a six-month-long crime spree,
some of which he posted on
social media, says he misses
school and the sports he’s now
banned from playing.
The boy appeared at the
Christchurch Youth Court last
week where he was sentenced on
84 charges which related to stealing
vehicles, assaulting people
and aggravated robbery.
The court heard a pattern
of the boy’s offending usually
involved him and associates
stealing people’s cars, driving
dangerously while failing to
stop for police and kicking and
punching members of the public.
“I think you like to think
you’re older and tougher than
you are. You are a little boy,”
Judge Jane McMeeken told him.
Judge McMeeken highlighted
the role that social media and
peer pressure play, particularly
with young offenders.
“You need to understand none
of it’s real. Driving fast cars,
that’s a tiny part of your life, the
rest you’re in a police cell missing
your family.”
The judge said if she read out
all the victim impact statements
from the boy’s offending, she
would be reading for an hour
which wouldn’t be helpful.
However, she said one victim
has a medical condition, causing
them to suffer from pain and
anxiety and had spent three
years working to pay off their
car, which was stolen by the boy.
The victim was planning to
complete an education course
this year but now can’t afford it
as they have to borrow money for
their car.
“Please stop and consider how
badly you are impacting others
with what you are doing,” the
victim’s statement said.
The boy’s lawyer said that he
loves his education and that his
school was willing to welcome
him back and provide the support
he needs.
The court also heard of the
boy being banned from sports
he loves as a consequence of his
actions.
His lawyer said the boy started
off as a follower of the offending
but quickly became the leader,
egged on by peer pressure and
comments on social media.
However, his lawyer said he
expressed regret and empathy for
his victims and had been doing
well in custody.
“This is a young man that’s
got potential, it is critical that
potential isn’t wasted.”
His lawyer also highlighted
the boy’s unwavering support
from his family as both his
parents and step-parents were
present in court.
The judge agreed and said in
Youth Court they don’t usually
see a mum and dad, let alone
step-parents taking time out of
their lives to come and support
offenders.
The boy hadn’t seen much of
his family and was only allowed
a 30-minute visit with them on
Christmas day.
Police pushed for a supervision
with a residence sentence of
six months, however, the boy’s
lawyer encouraged the judge to
reduce that to four months so
the boy could start school at the
beginning of term two.
Judge McMeeken agreed it
would be good for the boy, who
had been anxious about missing
out on school to get back to his
education.
But she warned the boy
that he needs to put in work to
change his ways.
“We can’t punish you to be
good,” she said.
Judge McMeeken imposed
a supervision with residence
sentence of four months followed
by a six-month supervision
order.

USING ‘ICE BATHS’ to aid post training
body recovery has been around the upper
echelons of the sporting world for more
than a decade, with the Wallabies using it
in 2013.
Now the Kirwee rugby club is adding
this style of cold water immersion to its
routine. It recently put out an appeal on
social media for someone to donate ‘an
old chest freezer, plastic tub or large old
bath’.
The club’s call was answered within a
couple of days.
Club captain Curt Freeman said he
appreciated the generous offers the club
received.
“Our community is second to none;
within about an hour I had half a dozen
baths and three or four different freezers.”
He is unsure if the club will be able to
use all of what they’ve been offered.
“We’re just working through whether
we’re going to take a freezer and build a bit
of a cage around it, or if we’re going to get
two baths and build cradles for them,” he
said.
The club will make the baths or freezer
available for mainly colts and division two
and three players, but if junior grades want
to use them as well they could.

Freeman said rapidly cooling muscles
after training is a tried and true method of
injury prevention.
“Its proven recovery for contact sports
and sports injuries, with player welfare
being a big part of rugby at the moment
especially with the Canterbury Union,”
he said.

Dunn, Dalgety in line for
top rural sports awards
EX-PAT DEXTER Dunn
and rising young star Carter
Dalgety are among four harness
nominations for the Norwood
Rural Sports Awards.
Dunn, now based in the
United States and rated the best
driver in the world, has been
nominated for sportsman of the
year, while Dalgety is in line for
the young rural sportsperson of
the year.
The awards, which celebrate
the best of rural sport – from
shearing and wool handling
to timber sports and dog trials
– will be held at the Awapuni
racecourse on Friday, March 10,
during the New Zealand Rural
Games in Palmerston North.
The two other harness nominees
are from the North Island.
Nicky Chilcott is up for sportswoman
of the year and Luk Chin
a lifetime legacy award.
Now in their seventh year, the
awards have featured previous
harness racing-related winners,
including top junior driver Sarah
O’Reilly for outstanding young
rural person, Ricky May and his
lifetime legacy award and Kidz
Kartz founders Deneece and
Murray Goldsworthy for their
outstanding contribution to
rural sports.
•Sportsman of the year –
Dexter Dunn
Dunn is rated as the best
harness racing driver in the
world. Based in New Jersey, 2002
was his most spectacular season
yet, in which he accrued stakes
earnings of more than $US15
million. At the prestigious Dan
Patch awards he was voted driver
of the year for the fourth straight
time by the US Harness Writers
Association. He had 308 wins
during the year.
His year will always be
associated with the world recordbreaking
deeds of Bulldog
Hanover. Together they won
11 of 12 starts, including his
CHAMPS: Dexter Dunn has been nominated for sportsman of the year at the Norwood Rural Sports Awards, while Carter
Dalgety is up for young rural sportsperson of the year.
famous victory in 1min 45.8sec
at Meadowlands, which made
him the fastest pacer of all time.
Dunn also became just the fifth
driver to twice win four Breeders
Crowns in the same year.
Dunn went to the US after
being New Zealand’s champion
driver on 10 occasions. He was
always destined to make a career
out of the sport – his father
Robert is a top trainer with two
premierships to his name and his
brother John is also one of New
Zealand’s top drivers.
In the US, Dunn also bought
Christen Me, the star pacer who
helped propel his career forward,
in 2021 to ensure the horse
would have a fitting retirement.
The horse had been exported
to North America in 2017 after
being a multiple Group 1 winner
for Dunn in this country.
Dunn is now established as
one of the superstars of the sport
globally and he’s still only 33.
•Young rural
sportsperson of the year –
Carter Dalgety
The 19-year-old – who is the
fourth generation of his family
involved in harness racing –
had a breakthrough year in
2022. Two highlights stand out:
Dalgety had his first drive in the
biggest race of them all, the New
Zealand Cup at Addington in
November, and then secured his
first Group 1 triumph with Krug
at the Invercargill Cup.
Krug is trained by Carter’s
parents Cran and Chrissie
Dalgety who both come from
established and highly successful
racing stock.
He is now seen as one of
New Zealand’s most promising
talents. He is very personable
and approachable and has
been studying for a Bachelor of
Commerce, majoring in supply
chain management, at Lincoln
University.
A budding entrepreneur, he
also has his own clothing label –
Fuego.
•Sportswoman of the
year – Nicky Chilcott
On September 23, 2022,
Chilcott made harness racing
history. She became the first
New Zealand woman to both
train and drive 500 winners.
She already had the distinction
of being the first New Zealand
woman to drive 500 winners
and, as of January 1, 2023, her
tally is 671.
Her 500th training success
came with Phoebe Majestic at
Alexandra Park. She also drove
the horse that night. She is just
the 15th New Zealander ever to
join the “Double 500” Club.
She remains the most
“winningest” female driver in
this country, ahead of her closest
rival Samantha Ottley.
Chilcott has not had the
richest owners to buy the best
stock at the sales. Rather she has
relied on getting the best out
of average horses and cast-offs
while enriching the lives of many
ma and pa owners along the way.
Her sole Group 1 winner was
Disprove in the 2001 Easter Cup
at Addington.
•Lifetime Legacy Award –
Dr Luk Chin
Now 80 Chin has been
involved in harness racing
for more than four decades
and still works full-time as
an anaesthesiologist, either at
Waikato Hospital or privately.
The octogenarian trains a team
of horses from his Tamahere
base just outside Hamilton.
Almost all his horses are bred,
owned, trained, raced and
driven by Chin. In 2021 he had
two runners in the prestigious
Harness Jewels at Cambridge
(Voronov, and Jasinova). No
mean feat for a hobby trainer.
And in April 2022, he had a
career highlight with three of his
horses winning within 24 hours.
Safrakova won on Friday night
at Alexandra Park, with Voronov
and Alana both winning on
his home track at Cambridge
the previous night. Not bad for
someone with only four horses
in work.
Chin is an inspiration to many.
He is still doing it for all the right
reasons, he loves horses, harness
racing and being involved. And
he still gets up at 5am to work
his horses before going to work
where he literally helps change
and, in many instances, save
lives.
As of January 1, 2023, Chin
had driven 135 and trained 161
winners after starting out in
1980. That’s 42 years of holding a
licence, with no signs yet that he
is slowing down.

BIG CHANCE: Two Canterbury golfers will take a crack at the Make Time Play 9 final for the chance to play at Royal Liverpool in July. Inset – Ryan Fox
during the 150th British Open.
Nine-hole amateurs score tee-rific
chance to play The Open course
A COUPLE of casual
nine-hole games of midweek
golf with friends have earned
two Canterbury golfers a once
in a lifetime shot.
Helen Williamson who plays
at the Pegasus club and Yusuke
Imaizumi from the Russley
club will play for the chance to
travel to England for the world
invitational golf tournament to
be held before the The Open at
Royal Liverpool from July 16-23.
Williamson, 52, and
Imaizumi, 24, were randomly
selected as the monthly winners
of a promotion run by Golf New
Zealand.
The Make Time Play 9
initiative runs throughout the
summer. To enter golfers of all
ages and skill levels submit a
nine-hole scorecard to go in the
draw.
Williamson and Imaizumi
also received return airfares to
Queenstown to compete in the
Make Time Play 9 final which
will be held in March with the
New Zealand Open.
They will join seven other
lucky winners from around New
Zealand who will tee off for nine
holes at Millbrook Resort. The

two best players will win trips
to the 151st Open to take part
in The R&A 9-Hole Challenge.
The final in England will feature
42 nine-hole players from 21
countries. Williamson, who took
up the game in her mid-20s and
now plays off a 15 handicap, and
Imaizumi, who has been playing
since he was 15 and has a scratch
handicap, both admit winning
a trip to Queenstown wasn’t on
their minds when they signed
up for the chance to take part in
their qualifying rounds.
“Just winning a trip to
Queenstown is an amazing prize
. . . let alone being in with a
chance to go and play the leadin
event for one of the world’s
most special golfing majors,”
Williamson said.
Said Imaizumi: “I feel a bit like
Ryan Fox. I’ll certainly be hitting
the driving range and putting
greens over the coming months
to get in a bit of extra practice,
as there’s a lot on the line for
winning.”
Golf New Zealand
development general manager
Thiem Nguyen called the Make
Time Play 9 initiative a “money
can’t buy experience” that has
so far attracted about 220,000
entries nationwide.
“For two lucky Kiwi golfers,
they will have the opportunity
to play on the same golf course
as Ryan Fox and the best
professional golfers in the world
for the Open Championship,”
said Nguyen.
“I know that Helen and
Yusuke, along with the other
qualifying finalists, will be
excited about the Queenstown
experience and will practicing
incredibly hard over the coming
weeks to sharpen up their games,
with an eye to securing that
elusive spot to play in the world
finals.

play-off in Queenstown
will be held next month.

$60k to make sure youngsters
‘reach their potential’ on court
TENNIS Canterbury has been
granted $60,000 to get more
people playing the sport.
General manager Bevan
Johns said the grant will allow
the organisation to focus on
participation and development
initiatives to ensure young
talented players “reach their
potential at all levels.”
“Tennis Canterbury delivers
services to over 7000 members
and a further
30,000-plus
participants
in various
programmes
and casual
participation
Bevan
opportunities.”
The funding
from New Zealand
Johns
Community Trust aims to keep
participation costs down and
remove barriers to participation,
Johns said.
“Tennis Canterbury is about
making it easy for everyone to
discover or re-discover tennis
and to help our players find
enjoyment through tennis for
life.”
The grant will help the
organisation run its beginner
hotshots programme and
get juniors to national and
international competitions.
“During the current season we
trialled the first iteration of the
Canterbury player development
programme in preparation for
the annual national teams event.
The region’s top six girls and six
boys in the 12U, 14U and 17U
age groups got together weekly
to practice and prepare for the
event. Training included doubles
strategy, mental preparation,
fitness and nutrition planning.”
The grant will help Canterbury
players like Lucia Gale who
won the national under-14 title,
beating fellow Cantabrian Dallas
King-Ehau in the final. Lucia
also took out the doubles title
and competed at the under-16
nationals where she won the
doubles.
Alvin Na won the under-12
boys singles and doubles final,
while Aliyah Daly won the
under-12 girls doubles.
TALENT:
The grant
will help
young tennis
players,
including
Lucia Gale
(above) who
won the
national
under-14 title.
Five Canterbury players,
including Lucia, took part in the
national teams competition in
Australia last year.
The funding will go towards
the New Zealand regional
programme for 11 to 14-yearolds,
run by coach Stuart
Chalmers at Wilding Park.
It brings the best players in
Canterbury together to train
with experts in strength and
conditioning and other aspects
of the game. Said Chalmers:
“This programme ensures
opportunities for our junior
players to train together. We
are now looking to extend it
for players in the 15-plus age
bracket. We need to keep these
young talented players in the
game.”
Tennis Canterbury also has
a strong wheelchair tennis
community. Travis Moffat won
the recent national singles title
and Glenn Barnes was runnerup.
The two went on to win the
doubles championship. Seniors
tennis is also strong in the region
and there are programmes for
players in the Tongan tennis
community.
With more than 500 juniors
and 550 adults competing in
summer interclub across the
region, Tennis Canterbury relies
on its small number of staff and
network of clubs, coaches and
volunteers to grow the game.

dizziness, vertigo or BPPV?
These issues can be treated with vestibular
physiotherapy.
Vestibular rehabilitation therapy is a specialised
form of therapy, in which physiotherapists
work to improve symptoms of dizziness and the

dysfunction. Balance problems and dizziness can
all be treated very effectively.

Funding helps bring Selwyn’s historical
collections online
People searching for objects and photographs from Selwyn’s past can now
find a growing online catalogue of items at their fingertips.
Several historical societies in Selwyn have begun adding their collections
to online platform, eHive, in a bid to digitally catalogue and share their
collections with the wider public.
Look out for learners
on the move
Everyone needs to plan ahead from the beginning of February, as 11,500 Selwyn
students begin travelling back to school again.
That number of learners, which equates to nearly 20 per cent of the district’s
population, will be biking, walking and scootering on Selwyn’s roads
and footpaths.
Caregivers are encouraged to practise the safest route for their children to walk or
ride to school, and educate them about the risks of crossing roads and driveways.
Children should be reminded to stay alert and avoid distractions like mobile
devices and headphones.
Motorists are urged to slow down when passing on the roads, as children can be
unpredictable. Get into the habit of going 30km/hr past schools and 20km/hr past
school buses. Be patient and obey the crossing patrol.
Congestion around school zones can be reduced by dropping back and walking
the last part of the journey when taking kids to the school gate. Ensure everyone
that needs a helmet has one, which includes those using scooters. Wearing a
helmet reduces the risk of head trauma by 74 per cent.
A range of high vis products are available that make children more visible in all
weather conditions. Most schools have high vis items available for free or at a
small cost.
Road safety resources for parents and children can be organised through your
school or Selwyn District Council by emailing roadsafety@selwyn.govt.nz.
More EV charging stations on the way
for Selwyn
Electric vehicle (EV) motorists will be able to recharge at even more places in Selwyn
this year, with 17 new Zero charging stations being installed at Council sites by
Meridian Energy.
Meridian will install these chargers in car parks at West Melton Community Centre,
Tennyson Street in the Rolleston Town Centre, Prebbleton’s Kakaha Park, Lincoln
Events Centre, and the Selwyn Aquatic Centre. They will form part of the Zero public
charging network, one of the largest networks in New Zealand with over 85 charging
stations already in operation.
Group Manager Infrastructure and Property Murray Washington says the stations will
provide greater access for EV drivers.
“Council has been working closely with power providers to build up the district’s
network of public EV chargers. We’re pleased more options will be available around
our townships for a more robust network.”
The chargers will join Selwyn’s existing network of public EV charging stations at
Arthur’s Pass, Castle Hill, Dunsandel, Leeston and Lincoln. The new chargers are on
track to be finished by April 2023.
Four chargers are now available at Foster Park, they can be found on the Meridian
Zero app.
For more information on Zero and to download the app, head to
zero.meridianenergy.co.nz
The initiative has been driven by
Dunsandel Historic Society President,
Dr Mike Noonan who applied to
Council’s new Community History
Fund for a grant to buy eHive
user subscriptions.
Dr Noonan says until now, much
of Selwyn’s vast collection of
photographs and records of artefacts
had not been available online, and
this made it difficult for people to see
what existed.
“I’m really passionate about Selwyn’s history and thought this is something I
could do to help preserve and share our past with anyone who is interested.”
Dunsandel Historic Society, on behalf of the Selwyn Heritage and History
Network was awarded $12,480 from the Community History Fund, with
groups including Dunsandel, Ellesmere, Leeston, Ellesmere Heritage Park,
Arthur’s Pass, Lincoln, Glentunnel and Hororata all using eHive subscriptions
to upload their records. Funding still remains for other groups to join.
Dr Noonan says the online tool will help museums see what local artefacts are
available to be publicly displayed.
The collections can be found by Googling one of the participating historical
societies mentioned above, along with the word ‘eHive’. For example,
‘Dunsandel Historic Society eHive’.
The Selwyn Community History Fund is now open for applications until
30 April 2023. It is designed to support community groups to protect and
promote the district’s history; provide greater access to Selwyn’s past; assist
residents and visitors to learn about local history; and celebrate our unique
stories and places.
Application forms and criteria can be found on the Council website at
selwyn.govt.nz/services/funding-And-grants/selwyn-community-history-fund
Summer water restrictions in Hororātā
Summer water restrictions are in place for Hororātā over
January and February.
Residents are asked to:
• Avoid irrigating where possible
• Water lawns and gardens by hand, in place of sprinklers
or irrigation system

Seasonal building tips: septic tank maintenance
It’s important to remember that your septic tank is a living, breathing environment. To function
effectively, it needs regular maintenance.
Before doing maintenance, check if you have a maintenance manual and know the system type and
capacity of your septic tank. You can find this through building records held here at the Council or
through the supplier.
Also check if there are any requirements around inspections or monitoring on the consent with
Environment Canterbury before carrying out, or getting anyone else to carry out, maintenance.
• 3–6 months: Check your disposal area. Inspect the ground for any changes or issues
developing. There should not be any evidence of moisture on the ground surface.
• 6 months: Check and clean outlet filters. This may be included in your service contract with
your installer.
• Annually: Inspect the tank for sludge and scum levels.
• 3–5 years: Pump tank out. Or, do so if the top of the floating scum/solids is 75 mm or less from
the bottom of the outlet or the sludge has built up to within 250 mm of the bottom of
the outlet.
Systems with electrical float switches, pumps, or mechanical components should be inspected
generally once a year.
The frequency of de-sludging depends on the age and capacity of the system, how many people
use it and what goes into it (ideally only sewage and toilet paper, not solid items). Make sure you
use appropriate chemicals at home to keep your septic system healthy. Most household cleaning
products are fine, but it’s important to be moderate in your use. Household bleach can be used, but
extra strong bleach should be avoided.
You may be able to do some maintenance yourself, but if a site investigation is needed, it is best to
engage a drainage contractor or on-site wastewater servicing professional.
A professional check should include assessing sludge levels, checking pumps, pipework, tank inlets
and outlets, cleaning as necessary, and flushing the irrigation area. You should also be provided
with a maintenance certificate of work undertaken. Keep this certificate.
To find a wastewater servicing specialist, contact the Council, Environment Canterbury, septic tank
pump out contractor, treatment plant supplier or plumbing/drainlaying company.

BACKYARD CRITTERS
A COTTAGE built in the late-
1800s by the inventor of Sure to
Rise baking powder has sold for
$520,000.
The quaint
property on
Edmonds St,
Woolston, which
is understood
to have been
built for one
Thomas
Edmonds
of Thomas
Edmonds’
workers, has
been purchased by a North
Island art teacher who was
drawn to its old-world cottage
garden.
OneRoof property records
show the two-bedroom,
one-bathroom home last sold
for $140,000 in 2009. It has a
2019 RV of $275,000. Interior
designers lived in the home
for more than a decade and
during that time they carefully
redecorated while being
mindful of its cottage character.
Ray White listing agent
Rebecca Toone said the new
owner will relocate with her
daughter to start a new teaching
job in Christchurch.
“She just loved the gardens.”
Toone said the property was
definitely unique, especially
with its rich history.
“It is a quintessential quaint
cottage.”
After immigrating to New
QUAINT: A
school teacher
purchased the
two-bedroom
home, which
was built
by Thomas

Sure to Rise inventor’s
cottage sells for $520K
Zealand, Thomas Edmonds set
up a grocery store on what is
now the corner of Edmonds and
Randolph Sts.
He moved the business to
Ferry Rd – where part of the
Edmonds Gardens remain – to
increase production when his
Sure to Rise baking powder
became a success. Edmonds
contributed significantly to
the city’s architectural history,
including the Theosophical
Society building on Cambridge
Tce and the Theosophical
Society – both of which were
damaged beyond repair in the
earthquakes. Edmonds also
built three cottages, but only
this one remains.

Prey crushing spider
IN JANUARY 2016, a small
Australian spider was first found
in Hoon Hay, Christchurch.
This spider has subsequently
spread throughout the city and
at least as far as Little River, Tai
Tapu and Lincoln.
Since hearing it had been
observed in Lincoln last year, I
have been keeping an eye out for
it and while painting some trellis
last weekend, a specimen literally
dropped into the palm of my
hand.
The species in question is the
little humped-back spider, Philoponella
congregabilis. The spider
is native to the southeast coast
of Australia, and as its species
name suggests, it is a community
dweller, with many of them cohabitating
in a messy web.
The spiders range from smaller
males at 3.5mm to the 6mm
females and have an obvious
humped abdomen and vary from
cream to brown or orange in colour.
Within their webs, females
PHOTO: NADINE DUPÉRRÉ
construct a flat, elongated egg
sac about 9mm long containing
about 20 small spherical eggs.
They have been found around
buildings or in low growing
vegetation with webs more orientated
horizontally than vertically
to catch their invertebrate prey.
The spider does not use venom,
but instead crushes its prey to
death by tightly entombing them
in silk. They then regurgitate
digestive juices on their prey and
suck up the resulting ‘soup’.
Keep an eye out for this
delightful, yet harmless little
spider, coming to a place near
you!

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
Wrap up summer’s best in a sandwich
Nigel Slater whips up a
slow and easy focaccia
for summer, and a
dreamy vegan filling to
complement it
Olive and rosemary
focaccia
Serves 4
Ingredients
400ml warm water
2 tsp easy-bake dried yeast
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp caster sugar
500g strong white bread flour
6 Tbsp olive oil, plus a little
extra
125g green or lemon-marinated
olives, stoned
1 Tbsp rosemary leaves
Sea salt flakes to finish
A high-sided baking dish
Directions
Put the water and yeast into a
large mixing bowl and add the
salt and sugar. Mix in the flour
either by hand or with a wooden
spatula. Add 2 tablespoons of
the olive oil and mix loosely into
the dough. Cover the bowl with
a cloth and refrigerate overnight.
(The dough will need a good
eight hours.)
Next day, when the dough has
risen somewhat (don’t expect it
to be as high as if you had proved
it in a warm place) halve the
olives and chop the rosemary
leaves and mix them into the
dough along with another 2 tablespoons
of the olive oil. Lightly
oil the baking tin and turn the
dough out into the tin. Push the
dough out to fit the tin with your
fist, gently pushing it almost
into the corners – it will swell
during second proving – then
wrap the tin in a cloth and place
in a warm spot for a good hour,
perhaps two, until it has risen to
twice its size.
Set the oven at 220degC. When
the oven is ready, use a floured
finger to push several hollows
into the dough, then scatter the
surface lightly with sea salt flakes
and bake for 30 minutes until
golden. Remove from the oven,
pour the remaining oil over the
surface, then release from its tin
with a palette knife.
Roast aubergine and
preserved lemon
sandwiches
Serves 4
Ingredients
3 medium to large aubergines
(about 800g)
4 Tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic
1 small preserved lemon
12 basil leaves
1 focaccia (see recipe)
2 handfuls rocket
PHOTO: GETTY
Directions
Warm 4 tablespoons of oil in
a shallow pan over a moderate
heat. Add the aubergines scoredside
down, tuck the unpeeled
garlic cloves around them, then
let the aubergines fry for 4-5
minutes until the cut sides are
starting to take on a pale golden
colour. You may need to do this
in two pans or in relay. Turn the
aubergines over, using a palette
knife then pour 100ml of water
into the pan. (Keep a lid handy
to deal with the spluttering.)
Cover with a lid, lower the
heat and continue cooking for
10 minutes until the aubergine
flesh is soft and silky. Check it is
cooked right through by tenderly
prizing the flesh apart with a
spoon.
Remove from the heat and
allow to cool. Lift the cloves of
garlic from the pan, scrape their
flesh from the skins and put it
in a bowl. Crush the cloves to a
paste with a spoon or fork. Using
a tablespoon, slide the aubergine
flesh from its skin into the garlic
bowl. Pour in any juices from the
pan – there won’t be a lot – then
mash together with a fork.
Remove and discard the flesh
from inside the preserved lemon,
then chop the skin very finely.
Add to the aubergine. Shred the
basil leaves and stir in. Taste for
seasoning. You may need a little
black pepper.
To fill the focaccia: using a
long, sharp bread knife, slice the
bread in half vertically to give
two rectangles then cut each in
half horizontally. Remove the
top half of each, then cover the
bottom half with the mashed
aubergine and rocket leaves.
Place the upper halves on top
and press gently down. Leave for
a good half hour, for the juices
to soak in to the bread, then cut
into slices at the table.

PETS & PAWS
Looking out for your dog over summer
Summer is a great time to head to the
river with your dog but there are some
dangers lurking that owners should be
aware of when heading to the river. Rivers
not only have swift currents but at times
toxic algae that can be fatally poisonous
to your dog.
Teach your dog to swim
Not all dogs know instinctively how to
swim. From age two to five months, you
can start teaching your canine friend how
to ‘doggie paddle’ and stay afloat.
• Never leave your dog unsupervised
around water; this also includes
backyard swimming pools.
• Start lessons in shallow water, a
paddling pool for a puppy or if in
bigger pool, ideally you should hop into
the water with your dog.
• Support your dog’s body, keeping its
head up and body straight, to allow it to
get used to the paddling motion.
• Your dog needs to use both his front
and back legs to paddle and stay afloat.
• Avoid swimming in water over your
own head as your dog may panic and
accidentally push you under.
• Keep your swimming sessions short as
dogs can tire quite easily, especially in
rivers with swift currents.
• If your dog is a beginner swimmer, then
keep it on a long lead when at rivers
and lakes.
• Always bring fresh water from home for
your dog to drink.
Poisonous algae
attractive to dogs
While it’s fun to spend time at the river
with your favourite canine friend, you’ll
need to be on the lookout for poisonous
algae. Dogs are attracted to the smell but
if toxic algae are eaten, your dog may
become ill very quickly.
Signs of illness to look out for include
lethargy, muscle tremors, fast breathing,
twitching, paralysis and convulsions. Get
your dog to the vet as soon as possible.
The Land Air Water Aotearoa website
suggests that you should know what to
look out for.
“In parts of stony based rivers toxic
algae (also known as Phormidium) form
soft, leathery-looking mats on rocks in
the riverbed. These mats range in colour
from blackish/brown to dark green (it’s
quite different from normal harmless
green algae, which looks bright green and
often forms long strings).
These mats can come loose and wash
up on the edge of the rivers, or form
‘floating rafts’ in shallow areas. As they
dry out they turn light brown or white
and look like dried leaves or cowpats.
They produce a strong musty smell, and
this is when it poses the biggest risk to
our dogs.”

areas in Canterbury are safe for dogs
and humans, visit: www.lawa.org.

Dogs die in hot cars
It takes just 15 minutes. If it’s hot
outside, it’s sure to be like an oven in
your car and that heat could be fatal
for your dog...
If it’s hot and you’re likely to need to
leave your dog in the car, it’s kinder
and safer to leave it at home. Animals
can sustain brain damage or even die
from heatstroke in just 15 minutes.

Selwyn has never had so much
choice for preschools and childcare
Families are spoilt for choice when it
comes to preschools and childcare in the
Selwyn district. As new subdivisions continue
to develop at a fast rate, new facilities
are being built to meet the demand.
Whether seeking home-based care or wanting your
child to experience the company of others, Selwyn
has a wide range of facilities available including play
centres, kindergartens, preschools, some also offering
before and after school programmes.
Childcare centres in Selwyn are united in their
commitment to cultivate each child’s natural love
of learning and inquisitiveness, fostering a positive
attitude to lifelong learning in the children trusted to
their care.
Centres follow the Te Whāriki New Zealand early
childhood curriculum with some emphasising the
Montessori or Reggio Emilia approaches. Under
the Te Whāriki curriculum, partnerships are formed
between teachers, parents and families so all facets
of a child’s world are embraced with a holistic approach
taken to their care and learning
The precious time in children’s lives before attending
school is one of curiosity and exploration. Their
minds are like sponges as they look at the world with
eyes of wonder, eager little hands stretched out to
touch and learn.
The preschool and kindergarten environment allows
children to acquire vital skills, developed by being
around other children their age. To listen to others
and express their own ideas, make friends, share,
interact with other children and become accountable
for their actions.
Learning and play activities in preschool and kindergarten
encourages children’s natural curiosity to
explore, develops their creativity and prepares them
for the challenges of school.
PLAY. LEARN. GROW. TOGETHER.
In this year’s selwyn Times childcare feature, you’ll find many providers who aim to ensure children have
the best start possible, plus options for before and after school care for older children.
Check out the advertisements in this publication, visit their websites, and make appointments to visit so
you can make an informed choice for your child’s care and early learning development.

Creating confident, competent
and active learners, healthy
in mind, body and spirit.
Following on from a wonderful year of
refurbishment inside and out, a fresh new
MOE licence and an incredibly positive first
ERO review under our new management,
West Melton Kindergarten Nursery and
Learning Centre is excited for 2023.
Join us for the journey
Situated in the heart of West Melton, our
centre provides high quality care and
education in a loving, fun and interesting
environment. Inside our centre children
enjoy their journey of learning and discovery
in a well-resourced, well planned, and loving
environment.
Children transition through the nursery to
the kindergarten and on to the learning
centre, before heading off to school.
Each group is tailored to the stage of
development and what they need from us
to support their care and learning.
Abundant learning opportunities
outdoors
With our huge natural outdoor area, so
many learning opportunities are abundant
just from the natural environment. When we
add in gardening, enjoy our own bike track,
enormous sandpits, playground structures,
nature nooks, cubby houses, and so much
more, it is full of exploration, discovery and
days of fun.
Being opposite West Melton School, we
have built a strong relationship together
and for our friends heading off to the
school, we create a smooth transition. Even
for children going to a different school, the
connection supports the understanding for
all children of the next learning step. Our
school leavers are welcome back for before
and after school care too.
Experienced team
We have an incredible teaching team of
experienced Early Childhood qualified and
registered teachers with additional Kaiako
placing us well above staff requirements
and at 100% qualification levels.
Our philosophy is inspired by Te Whāriki
(New Zealand Early Childhood Curriculum),
with a Selwyn District style.
We are proud of our centre, our community,
our children and families and we always
have open arms to welcome new friends.
Give us a call or pop in anytime to view
our facilities and meet our wonderful staff.

Needs to be met with
exciting new nursery at
Prebbleton Childcare
In response to the growing need in the community,
Prebbleton parents and caregivers will soon have
the opportunity to have their young children cared
for locally. Prebbleton Childcare, a family-owned
and operated centre in Prebbleton for nearly 23
years, will be opening its purpose-built Nursery
in early 2023. The Nursery will offer spaces for
children aged 12 weeks to 2 years of age with a 1:3
ratio in the infant area 1:3 (Ruma Poipoia). Gemma
Dillon, from Prebbleton Childcare, states, “We are
excited to offer a service to meet the needs of our
growing Prebbleton Community.”
This homely and family-focused centre has a vision
of being ‘’The next best place to home” and provides
care and education options for children aged
0-5 years. Due to low staff turnover and over half
of the Nursery teaching team being with Prebbleton
Childcare for over a decade, consistency of
care for your child is assured. These nurturing
teachers are professional and up to date with
modern and best teaching practices. They provide
unhurried routines with plenty of time for children
to be engrossed in play and learning. Prebbleton
Childcare has a philosophy centred around strong
relationships with family and children and focuses
on connection with the natural world.
With the centre offering spacious natural surroundings
outdoors, children can be around pets,
trees and organic gardens and be involved in caring
for the animals and environment. With its natural
feel, Gemma says, “It almost feels like it could be
your own backyard.”
To enrol your baby or toddler to be nurtured, cared
for and educated in 2023, schedule a visit to Prebbleton
Childcare at 542 Springs Road, Prebbleton
or find out more details by phoning 03 3499970 or

Every child deserves the opportunity to flourish, grow and be nurtured. Little Wonders,
operating since 2014 at 33 Elizabeth Street, Rolleston, has a lived philosophy of ‘kindness
and aroha with children at the heart of everything we do.’ As part of the Evolve Education
group, the 18 teachers cater for children aged 0-6 and are licenced for a maximum of 75.
Kim Carnie, Centre Manager, says, “We offer a really special experience in the way that we
have amazing relationships with the children and the families; it feels like a homely space
where we can welcome everybody.” Kim states that engaged staff care for children in a
warm and nurturing way and are “teachers who want to be here and are in teaching for
the right reasons, the things they plan and do are fully related to the centre’s philosophy
with the children at the heart of everything”.
Children learn through free play, but teachers purposefully set the learning environment to
help them reach their individualised learning goals. They learn and develop at their pace
through Imagination play, Creative Play, and Outdoor Play. Other learning experiences
include weekly music sessions, excursions into the community and Playball.
The Little Wonders’ cook offers nutritious home-cooked meals catering for all dietary
requirements from a diverse, multicultural community. They also follow the Healthy Heart
programme and participate in “Growing Kiwi Gardeners”, with a garden-to-plate focus
involving children growing food from seedlings.
With passionate and caring staff, easy and convenient meals, participation in the 20 hours
ECE scheme and a strong philosophy focusing on the best for your child, Little Wonders
welcomes you to experience the best possible start for your child at their home away from
home. Phone Little Wonders at 03 347 3511 or visit

GARDENING 41
Late season veges, flowers and fruit
Vegetables
Keeping the soil hoed at this
time of year not only keeps down
weed seedlings but also gives
vegetables an effective mulch of
broken soil that prevents loss
of moisture lower down in the
ground.
In most of the South Island,
sowing seeds this late for late
autumn and winter vegetables
is a chancy matter, although
experience of individual plots is
the best guide. Keeping a garden
diary with sowing and maturity
dates is well worth the effort for
the valuable record it gives.
An alternative to a diary is a
sturdy exercise book divided into
sections for plants, so carrots, for
example, are all together, with
varieties and sowing/maturity
dates listed year by year with
relevant notes.
Small carrot varieties, such as
the mini baby and mini sweet,
are best for late-season sowings.
Chinese cabbages, kohl rabi,
spinach, parsley and turnips can
be sown.
Plant out broccoli, late celery
and leeks. Lift onions, garlic
and shallots when the tops
turn yellow. Harvest on a dry
day, gently shaking off as much
loose soil as possible. Store in a
dry place. Garlic can be stored
by tying the tops together and
hanging under cover. Ground
GREENS: Chinese cabbages, kohl rabi, spinach, parsley, turnips, broccoli, late celery and leeks can be planted at the
end of January.
for next season’s crop of onions
should be prepared now with
plenty of stable manure or
compost and some lime. Never
let rhubarb seed, as it saps the
strength of the roots and inhibits
the storing of nutrients for next
season’s growth.
Flowers
Now is the time to lift springflowering
bulbs and corms. Soon
after the leaves die down, bulbs
begin to grow new roots, so
transplanting should be carried
out before the roots get under
way. This is the best time to
take hydrangea cuttings. Look
for firm shoots that have not
flowered this season. Cut pieces
about 10cm long, cut off lower
leaves, dip in rooting hormone
powder and push cuttings
around the edge of a pot of damp
potting mix to which a handful
or two of gravel has been added.
Cover with a plastic bag to hold
in moisture and leave in a cool
place until well rooted.
Fruit
Outdoor tomatoes should be
growing well and although more
usually used in the glasshouse,
fruit-setting can be used to get
a good set from each spray of
flowers. Once the tiny tomatoes
form, a weekly application of
liquid manure diluted to pale tea
colour can be given as well as the
usual watering.
As blackcurrants (Ribes
nigrum) are picked, the bushes
can be pruned. Remove old
branches that have borne fruit
to let light in and air circulate.
Next year’s fruit grows on this
season’s growth, so do not
be over-enthusiastic about
cutting back new growth. In
contrast, redcurrants (ribes
rubrum) and their albino form,
the whitecurrant, fruit on old
wood, so new growth should be
pruned to half to two-thirds of
its length. Cut out old wood after
four or five years of producing
fruit. Prunings can be used to
propagate more currant bushes.
Take straight pieces, 20cm to
30cm long, and push well down
around the edge of a pot of moist
soil to which some compost
and sand has been added. Water
well and cover the pot with an
opaque plastic bag, tucking the
ends underneath.
Leave it in a cool spot and
forget about it for at least a
month, by which time growth
should have begun. At this point,
the bag can be cut across the
top to begin hardening off the
cuttings.
Keep the soil moist and
transplant next spring.

As we near the end of
January, we head into
what can often be the
hottest, driest time of
the year. It is important
to keep your plants and

you can, doing so in the
early morning or later
afternoon.
Investing in an irrigation

MY PRIDE AND JOY
Advertising Feature
V8 Chopper Power!
There’s no other sound like the
distinctive growl of a V8 engine, with
the loud rumble often turning heads. So
imagine when that 8-cylinder motor is
powering a motorcycle. James, a Selwyn
local, undoubtedly gets plenty of looks
when he takes his 2007 V8 Chopper
motorcycle out on the road. Not only is
this due to the sound but also because of
the stunning build and paint job.
This motorcycle was initially constructed
in Oklahoma, USA, by renowned
custom chopper builder and owner of
V8 Choppers, Stan Hughes. He is known
for specialty hand-built, high-quality
V8 chopper motorcycles and trikes. The
chopper’s power and sound come from a
350 Chev engine that delivers around 400
HP. The rider can focus on the ride with an
automatic transmission; there’s no clutch or
shifting gears.
James has always been interested in
motorcycles and spotted the opportunity
to own this unique V8 Chopper created
by Stan Hughes, so he bought the bike. He
loves that no two choppers are the same,
and this is also shown by the specialist
technique used in the one-off custom
paintwork created by B Street Paint Works.
James proudly says, “It is artwork, not just
a paint job.”
Even with the characteristic lengthened
forks and swept-back handlebars, James
says the motorcycle is comfortable and
a joy to ride, providing him with a sense
of freedom. The ride is smooth and easy
as the bike is set low to the ground with
a low centre of gravity. James says he
enjoys riding with the V8 power, and with
a twist of the throttle, the machine will
open up. He rides the bike frequently as
it’s “an awesome bike to ride” but says, “It’s
not about the speed; it’s the whole riding
experience.”
James believes there are only around
eight V8 choppers in New Zealand, with
three in the South Island, making them an
unusual sight. Since riding this bike, James
has been surprised by the numerous chats
and discussions with people keen to learn
more about the motorcycle. The headturning
machine draws many comments
and questions when filling up at the service
station or parked outside a café. When he’s
out riding, he’s noted people filming him
from their cars and says, “It puts a smile on
people’s faces.” It’s evident he’s also smiling!

Trillo Metals Muscle Car Madness
Rangiora Showgrounds this Sat Jan 28th - Sun Jan 29th
For some reason the Selwyn district and
Ashburton seem to be a real “hot bed” for
classic cars and hot rods. Large numbers
of enthusiasts from these areas come to
Rangiora’s Muscle Car Madness each year.
This year will be the 33rd year of
this ‘mammoth’ event. We have cars
coming from all over the country as far as
Northland and Waiheke island. Another
large group is coming from Wairoa in the
Hawkes Bay.
Pete Schimanski returns this year
with another car from his collection, an
extremely wild, street legal early Holden
Monaro. Matt Elliot is bringing his
Chevrolet C10 pickup, it sits on the ground
and is one of the top trucks in the country.
Phil Dunstan will have his remarkable
classic caravan on display, certainly one of
the most detailed and creative art works to
ever be seen. All the way at the other end
of the spectrum is Morris 1100 powered by
a supercharged 383 Chevrolet engine.
The burnouts will also be a spectacle,
not to be missed. The finals were cancelled
due to weather last year so there is a lot
of unfinished business! Ricky Ireland
is bringing down his ex Summernats
winning late model Holden ute which has
around 2,000 horsepower. For the Ford
fans Arnie Donaldson returns with his
chopped Falcon ute, plus all your favourite
regulars. Oh and there is a certain Morris
1100!!
Melbourne ‘rockabilly’ band the Flyin’
Saucers return for the first time since 2020
and everyone loves Belinda on the double
bass. I recently heard a great band at the
‘Beach Hop’ called the Sons, who play
a wide variety of infectious rock ‘n roll
and are joined by Brothers Grimm, Late
Starters, Yeah the Boys, Nexus and several
high school bands which will give us a
great variety of music.
The pageant is another great spectacle
that ‘kicks off ’ at 12 noon on Saturday,
with all ages catered for. Registrations are
on site on Saturday morning with old style
hairdressers available on site. If you need
a new dress for the event there are several
sites on site, and the man in your life can
purchase heaps of man cave stuff and the
youngsters have rides in the kidz zone.
Event t-shirts are available but always sell
out fast. Saturday seems to be the big one
these days. Check the weather first. Cold
ice cream or cold beer, its all here.
Open both days 9am till 4pm each
day. $20 adult, two day pass $30 (public
hours only) and kids under 15 free. It is
a full day, don’t arrive mid afternoon on
Sunday, you need the whole day. Info

Electric limousine from Mercedes-Benz
I’M WONDERING if there is
any end to the way technology
is developing, especially so with
electric vehicles.
Take the Mercedes-Benz AMG
EQS 53 for example, it has an
onboard presence that would
keep an astronaut happy. There
are a multitude of specification
features, it has a function for
almost everything imaginable –
especially for safety.
Well, you would expect that,
the EQS 53 lists at $310,900 in
standard form, you can upsec it as
well and if you go the whole hog
you’ll deplete your bank balance
to the tune of around $360,000.
In true Mercedes-Benz S-Class
fashion there are few equals on
the road that have as much kit,
and from the moment you sit in
the driver’s seat you’ll be blown
away with the space age look
and feel of the interior, there are
gadgets, buttons and displays
everywhere.
The digital dash panel
extends across the width of the
car, although the information
graphics are only visible on the
left hand side when there’s a
passenger. However, the driver
gets enough information to keep
him/her occupied for every
journey, the depth beneath
• By Ross Kiddie
IT WAS OCTOBER 1988 and I
had just boarded a flight back to
Christchurch after fuelling my
motorsport passion, spending a
day watching the Nissan/Mobil
500 Wellington Street Race.
I had the window seat and
was waiting for the remaining
passengers, it was a full flight and
the overhead lockers were packed
with carry-on luggage.
The two
vacant seats
beside me were
eventually
filled by Trevor
Crowe and his
partner Colleen,
Crowe
was holding a
decent-sized
cup, the one he earned that day
from a third place finish and
class win in a Group A BMW
M3, sharing the drive with Mark
Thatcher, son of British Prime
Minister Margaret Thatcher. The
cup wouldn’t fit in the overhead
locker so I offered to store it for
the journey under the seat in
front of me; Crowe was grateful.
It wasn’t the first time I had
met Crowe, I’d not long been
evaluating motor vehicles for
review and only weeks previously
I had driven a turbocharged
Skoda 120L that Crowe and
his workshop technicians had
modified for performance
benefits.
the graphics and controls is
enormous. The only thing
missing in the big S-Class EV is a
chauffeur.
Mercedes-Benz is exploring the
future of the way we travel, and I
guess being at the forefront of that
technology will hold the company
in good stead as EVs take control
of our car buying decisions.
The EQS 53 is powered by dual
motors – one at the front and one
at the rear – they have combined
power output of 484kW with
a colossal 950Nm of torque
available from zero revolutions.
Add in a 107.8kWh battery pack
and you have the ingredients for
power, acceleration and, more
importantly, distance to travel
between charges.
Mercedes-Benz claims up to
587km on a full charge. It would
take around 60min to fast charge
to 80 per cent from a designated
charge port. In terms of charging
from my home – well that’s a
different story, such is the volume
of energy that can be stored it’s
simply not practical to try to
charge from domestic supply; it
would take a couple of days to
charge from zero to 100 per cent.
That being the case, a wall box
or a three-phase system would
be the most suitable method
Crowe and I got talking again
on that flight and, as astute as
ever, he noticed that I wasn’t
overly comfortable as the aircraft
descended through turbulence
into a Canterbury nor’wester, his
words I still cling to today when
I’m flying and bumps are prevalent:
“It’s all right, Ross, it will just
fly through it!’’
Of course, the news of that day
was his performance in the street
race, he and Thatcher punched
well above their weight only to
be beaten by some of the greatest
names in world motorsport –
formula one driver Emanuele
Pirro and world touring car
champion Roberto Ravaglia,
MERCEDES-BENZ AMG EQS 53: Large luxury sedan that is
solely powered by batteries and electric motors.
domestically. Thankfully, such is
the distance you get to travel on
a full tank – figuratively speaking
– I only had to make one fast
charge and that was completed
in good time while my wife and I
carried out our weekly Pak’nSave
grocery shop.
Of course, all of the above
relates to how you drive the EQS
53, if you are throttle heavy you
won’t get the distance, but the
figures are still very impressive.
So are those of its acceleration,
Mercedes-Benz claims a 3.8sec
standstill to 100km/h time. That’s
about as quick as in any other
car I’ve driven, launch from a
standstill is simply amazing, the
energy is instant and without any
lag, the force will hold you back
in your seat and, of course, all
passengers. It’s a performance car
of true genius, if only there were
roads in New Zealand where you
can explore its potential.
I guess the unrestricted roads
in Europe will allow some sort
and Australian ex-formula one
driver Larry Perkins and former
F1 world champion Denny
Hulme. As history has served
to prove, the third place finish
paved the way for Crowe’s win
in the Asia-Pacific Touring Car
Championship that year.
of freedom, but for here it’s a
temptation that would constantly
need to be curbed.
I took the test car inland west and
enjoyed its silence and comfort.
It has all those pacifying features
that come in luxury cars, yet you
always sense it wants to break free
and deliver a performance drive. Of
course, there are drive modes that
can moderate the behaviour of the
motors or liven them up in sport
mode, but the reality is the EQS 53
has performance that needs to be
tamed.
Pointed at some tricky corners
you need to bear in mind
that there is a lot of bulk and
weight in the car. At 5.3m and
2721kg it’s a big machine, but
it is delicate underneath and
extremely competent. Huge 21in
Michelin tyres stick like glue
and provide surety. Turn-in is
precise, and body movement is
minimal. A lot of the weight is
carried underneath the seats and
at just 1.5m tall there isn’t a lot
That and Crowe’s long and
illustrious motorsport career
have all been documented in a
new book – As the Crowe Flies,
the Trevor Crowe Story. Written
by well-known motoring and
motorsport writer Steve Holmes,
the book chronicles Crowe and
the multitude of cars he has built,
developed and raced throughout
the years, and still does even into
his late 70s.
Not only does the book share
chapters on Crowe’s hill climb,
rallying and circuit and boat racing
career, it shares his secrets to
good health, which is important
to keep mentally alert and physically
capable while at the wheel

of gravitational force working
against balance and composure.
Most of all, though, is the ease
at which the big AMG-inspired
limousine travels. Even with all
of its power it is easy to drive
at all speeds, during my stopstart
commute it dawdles with
little indication of what fury lies
underneath.
What’s more it is very much
Mercedes-Benz-like in terms
of how it functions and the
ergonomics are such that all
occupants are cocooned in
luxury. It must also be mentioned
that the EQS 53 drives silently at
all speeds. Sure, there are sounds
through the air and off the big
tyres but they aren’t dramatic,
it is uncannily quiet and an
experience to saviour.
Mercedes-Benz isn’t putting its
eggs all in one basket, there are
hybrid options and at this stage
plenty of petrol-only models in
the line-up. I’m due to drive a
plug-in hybrid soon, and if it is
anything like the quality of the
EQS 53 then I’m surely in for
another treat.

Written as Crowe would speak,
As the Crowe Flies covers everything
from his early days growing
up around cars at the family’s
Templeton service station, his
engineering skills honed through
an apprenticeship and, by sheer
imagination, pioneering race car
building ideas that have brought
him major success in a wide
periphery of motorsport.
Most of the cars Crowe has
raced are detailed in length, from
his first competitive car – an MG
J2 – through to the V8-powered
monsters he designed and mostly
built himself – Skoda, Toyota
Starlets and Subaru Justy.
Crowe is no stranger to
Christchurch’s car sales
infrastructure, he has been
dealer for Skoda and Subaru,
and today his CroweSport

general day-to-day servicing and
upgrade modifications to many

A DARFIELD farmer has
spoken of watching a man leap into
the flooded Hawkins River to try and
save himself after a helicopter winch
rescue operation failed.
Rod May had taken his tractor to
the scene on Greendale Rd, to try and
reach the middle-aged man who had
been clinging to the branches of a tree
in the rising waters on Sunday night.
The man had driven into the
flooded river, escaped from his car
and ca led emergency services from
his ce lphone which he managed to
keep with him.
Ultimately, a second helicopter
winch operation plucked the man
to safety after he was swept downstream.
It was a happy ending to the
ordeal which had lasted more than
three hours. The rescue was among
several in Canterbury on Sunday in
flooded rivers.
May said he and his family had just
had dinner when a neighbour alerted
them. Arriving about 8.50pm, he saw
the floodwaters were too high for the
tractor, however, he used its lights for
i luminating the site where the man
was. • Turn to page 5

• By Ba ry Clarke
A BAR patron who won $1200
on the pokies may have been
targeted by thieves moments after
she co lected the money.
A group of men who were in
the bar a the same time are the
focus of police inquiries. It is
believed they watched her being
paid, and then quickly swooped.
The incident happened at The
Famous Grouse Hotel in Lincoln
two weeks ago.
After she was paid out a the
bar, the men who had been
si ting nearby went over and
congratulated her. While she was
distracted the money disappeared
from her handbag. She only
realised it was gone after she left
the hotel.
Police have taken CCTV
security camera footage from the
hotel which shows the men going
over to the woman and mobbing
her in a congratulatory way. The
footage also captures a hand from
one of the men going towards the
Police say they may have
identified one of the group but
aren’t saying anymore about
the incident. The Selwyn Times
understands the men are from
the Amberley area.

WHY USE A NEWSPAPER
TO ADVERTISE?
• Offer targeted
advertising through
regular weekly inserts,
or monthly sections, or
special promotions
• Offers flexibility and
frequency - businesses
can choose the size
and location of the ad
as well as when and how often the ad
will appear
• Offer professional design services
- businesses can work with a designer to get
the design and style they want at no extra cost
• Provide affordability - generally costs
less than television, radio, and direct mail
advertising and can be designed to suit
any budget
• Reach more readers - newspapers sit around
from week to week and readers are more likely
to come back to a newspaper to find and save
information
• Capture more attention - newspaper readers
spend a longer period of time reading a
newspaper whereas research indicates, “the
average attention span of an Internet user is
eight seconds”
• Offer integrated services - such as online
advertising on news sites, professional
photography, and videography, and parallel
advertising in other publications.

His house!
Lincoln 48 Cassidy Avenue

Life is short and when you meet that special someone, you just have to go for it! So, when our
owners made the brave decision to combine their families onto one new family home, they also
made the firm decision that both of their existing properties must sell. Check out “Her house”
listing as well! If you have been looking in and around Lincoln you will be familiar with all the
company spec builds available. 48 Cassidy Ave doesn’t fit that mould. It was originally built
by an owner/occupier and you can truly feel the warm, inviting homely difference from the
moment you walk through the door.
It is a very detailed build, packed with features that makes great use of the 207sqm foot print. It
was also very carefully positioned on the site to maximise all-day sun. From the appealing street
presence right through to the oversized tiled shower this home just stands out from the crowd!
A combination of quality and functionality that you just won’t find elsewhere.
