TEENAGE GIRL’S 

JOYRIDING 

ADDICTION 

13-year-old’s 

800km 

trip in 

stolen car 

‘I just love it’ 

• By Sam Sherwood 

A 13-YEAR-OLD girl involved 

in an 800km trip in a stolen car 

from Christchurch to Nelson 

and back told police she was 

“just addicted”. 

Four youths, aged between 

13 and 15, are believed to have 

stolen a car in Christchurch on 

Saturday night before driving 

to Nelson where they ramraided 

a petrol store. 

The teens fled the scene, and 

were found in Christchurch 

when police received a report 

of a vehicle being driven 

erratically on Grahams Rd, 

Burnside, about 10.15am. 

The driver of the car failed to 

stop for police when signalled 

to do so. Police did not initiate 

a pursuit, instead observing 

the vehicle’s movements. The 

car crashed into a member of 

the public’s car, with the driver 

suffering minor injuries. 

The offenders then attempted 

to flee on foot, however they 

were apprehended by police. 

The teens will be referred to 

youth services. 

It is understood the 13-yearolds, 

a boy and a girl, were also 

involved in a series of car thefts 

a week earlier when about three 

cars were stolen, including 

several petrol drive-offs, as well 

as two fleeing driver incidents, 

where police tried to spike them. 

After they were apprehended 

the 13-year-old girl told police 

“I love it, I’m just addicted,” it 

is understood.

SWEARING OUT loud is 

a no-no when it comes to 

morning television – but the 

unpredictability of live TV means 

it can happen to the best of us. 

Breakfast host Matty McLean 

accidentally dropped the f-bomb 

during the show’s live broadcast 

yesterday in front of his co-hosts, 

after he appeared to drop his mic 

after an ad break. 

“Oh f***, my thing’s fallen 

out,” he said without realising he 

could be heard by viewers. 

Jenny-May Clarkson quickly 

reminded him, “You’re on air, 

you’re on air, you’re on air!” 

McLean was quick to apologise 

to viewers for the slip-up, saying, 

“Welcome back to Breakfast, I’m 

so sorry, I just lost my communications,” 

before presenting the 

next story on the programme, 

about anti-monarchist protesters 

at the King’s coronation. 

But fans of the show – and 

of McLean – found the slip-up 

entertaining and applauded his 

speedy recovery. 

“Dropped the ball but great recovery 

Maddy (sic),” one viewer 

commented on Twitter. “Loved 

Jenny-May screaming in the 

background, ‘you’re on air, you’re

A spokesperson for TVNZ 

said in a live TV environment, 

“mistakes can happen” and 

the Breakfast team had a busy 

morning reporting on the wild 

weather hitting New Zealand. 

“Matty did not realise the 

programme had returned from 

an ad break and this one slipped 

out when he dropped his comms 

device. When Jenny May alerted 

her co-presenters to the show being 

back on air, Matty apologised 

to our viewers,” they said.

upset by this mishap. Matty has

Leaf those contractors alone 

CHRISTCHURCH is renowned 

for its beautiful deciduous trees – 

but they come at a price over the 

autumn. 

The wet weather and wild 

winds have seen leaves falling 

more often, and earlier, this year 

– and it seems people are not 

happy to see the leaf litter lying 

around. 

The city council says contractors 

tasked with cleaning up the 

leaves from footpaths, gutters 

and sumps have been abused. 

Said city council streets maintenance 

manager Steve Guy: 

“We cannot stress enough that 

contractors are pulling out all 

the stops to make sure these are 

swept away as quickly as possible. 

“Our contractors are working 

to clear the leaves as quickly as 

they can and while we certainly 

appreciate residents’ frustrations, 

it is equally frustrating for staff to 

clean streets, gutters and sumps 

only for a southerly change to 

blow through and 24 hours later

Blackmoore 

murder 

trial ends 

abruptly 

• By Kurt Bayer 

THE TRIAL of two people 

accused of murdering Angela 

Blackmoore in her Wainoni home 

in 1995 has been aborted. 

Former debt collector David 

Hawken, 50, and ex-stripper 

Rebecca Wright-Meldrum, 51, had 

denied murdering Blackmoore 

on August 17, 1995, and were 

standing trial in the High Court at 

Christchurch. 

The jury trial, scheduled to take 

four weeks, began last week. They 

heard from 18 witnesses before it 

was halted. Yesterday afternoon, 

Justice Cameron Mander told the 

jury the trial had been aborted and 

they were free to go. 

“I made the decision, after having 

heard from the counsel, to 

abort this trial. I can’t go into the 

details with you as to why this has 

arisen, except to broadly indicate 

that material has come to hand 

which counsel needs the opportunity 

to review.” 

“It’s unavoidable that this step 

has to be made,” he said. 

It’s understood that a new trial 

could potentially begin in November. 

For 25 years the case went 

unsolved before police suddenly 

received fresh information in 2019 

and Jeremy Crinis James Powell 

was arrested. 

He pleaded guilty and was jailed 

for at least 10 years for bludgeoning 

and stabbing Blackmoore 39 times. 

During the trial, the Crown alleged 

Hawken ordered Powell – who 

was due to be a key Crown witness 

in the case – to carry out the 

hit, offering to pay $10,000, while 

Wright-Meldrum, a close friend 

and ex-lover of Blackmoore, helped 

him gain entry to her house. 

It was alleged that Hawken 

wanted Blackmoore out of the 

way so he could profit from a 

property deal. Hawken’s defence 

counsel Anne Stevens KC said that 

Hawken had nothing to do with 

Blackmoore’s murder and that he 

had “no wish that she die”.

Party-goer recalls man with gun 


A MAN WHO appeared to be 

wearing a mask was allegedly 

waving a shotgun at a crowd 

of teenagers shortly before an 

innocent bystander was shot 

dead, a jury has heard. 

Connor Whitehead, 16, 

was shot dead at a party in 

Casebrook on November 5, 2021. 

Daniel Nelson Sparks and 

Joshua David Craig Smith 

are charged with murdering 

Whitehead. 

On Monday, a three-week jury 

trial began in the High Court 

at Christchurch before Justice 

Melanie Harland. The pair 

pleaded not guilty to the charges 

before the trial started. 

Yesterday, the court heard 

from one of the party-goers. The 

boy said his evening started at 

his house with a couple of mates 

before going to a friend’s home 

who told them about the party. 

The group were dropped off 

at the party, with the party-goer 

speaking to a man who lived at 

the address when he arrived. He 

said the adult told him: “This is 

my house, just make sure you 

respect it.” 

He then went outside and saw 

Whitehead in the driveway and

the two had a short catch-up. 

Later that evening, there was a 

tussle outside which party-goers 

watched, he said. 

“It’s just what happens at every 

party to be honest,” the young 

man said. 

The teen went inside the house 

and when he came back out he 

saw a car pull up with a man 

getting out armed with a gun. 

Another man was heard yelling 

“yoza”, he said. 

“I think they were trying to 

scare us,” he said. 

He heard one of the partygoers 

saying: “Just shoot me, 

you’re a b.... – you won’t.” 

People were also throwing 

bottles at the men’s car. 

The party-goer said the man, 

who appeared to be wearing a 

mask with a cap, a black hoodie 

and pants, was waving a gun 

around. The party-goer did not 

think the shotgun, which he 

believed was black, was loaded. 

“I wasn’t really that fazed by 

it. I just thought it was a scare 

tactic.” 

A short while later he heard a 

gunshot and hid behind a tree. 

There was a second shot and he 

heard someone yell: “Connor’s 

dead.” 

The party-goer ran over to 

Whitehead who wasn’t moving. 

At first, he thought he may have 

been unconscious from being 

too drunk, but then he saw the 

blood. 

“It was pretty scary thing to 

see,” the teen said. 

Everyone around him was 

“panicking”, he said. 

The party-goer said after the 

first shot was fired the men drove 

off and the passenger’s door was 

still open when the second shot 

was fired. 

The Crown alleges both 

men received a call for help 

from Sparks’ son by arming 

themselves with loaded firearms 

– a Stevens shotgun and a 

Mossberg shotgun in Smith’s 

VW Golf. 

About 11pm, the two accused 

men arrived at the party.

Videos to watch 

Sparks’ son pointed out 

the group of people acting 

aggressively towards him. Sparks 

approached them and there 

was a verbal argument. Gang 

signs were pulled and there was 

yelling. 

Crown prosecutor Aaron 

Harvey began the trial on 

Monday before six men and six 

women by saying two shots were 

fired, one by each of the firearms, 

one by each of the defendants. 

The two shots were about six 

seconds apart. The Crown says 

the most likely scenario is Smith 

fired the fatal shot that struck 

Whitehead and Sparks fired a 

shot from the Mossberg into the 

air, likely from the car. 

Whitehead was shot in the 

chest. His injuries were not survivable. 

There was no suggestion 

Whitehead was at all involved in 

the disorder and was standing 

between 9 -12m away when the 

firearm was discharged at him. 

After the second shot was fired 

the two men left the scene. 

After the fatal shooting police 

used emergency powers to intercept 

calls. A few hours after the 

shooting a call was intercepted 

between Sparks, Smith, and an 

associate. 

Smith said he had a run-in 

with the Crips, saying 30 or 40 of 

them came out of nowhere and 

surrounded them. Shots were 

fired, and someone may have 

been hit. 

In his interview, Smith said he 

did not fire any shots. 

Sparks said he got out of the 

car and, while out of the car, 

heard a shot being fired. After he 

heard the shot being fired he got 

his firearm and fired a shot in 

the air before they left. 

Harvey said both men could 

be found guilty of murder, 

regardless of who fired the fatal 

shot. 

Smith’s lawyer Daniel Kirby 

said his client accepted he was 

responsible for Whitehead’s 

death. However, he said his client 

was guilty of manslaughter, not 

murder. 

“Mr Smith never intended to 

kill Connor. He never intended 

to cause Connor bodily harm, 

FATAL: 

Connor 

Whitehead 

was 

attending 

a 15th 

birthday 

party when 

he died. 

and he never thought that 

Connor or anyone else would be 

likely to die.” 

He said Smith lied in his police 

interview from his hospital 

bed, but that did not mean he 

was a murderer. Sparks’ lawyer 

Nicola Pointer said he did not 

fire the fatal shot, and he had 

no idea things would unfold the 

way they did. “What occurred 

went well beyond any common 

purpose that could’ve existed 

between the men when they 

travelled to the party.” 

Sparks said he got a distressed 

call from his son asking for help. 

He heard a gunshot, quickly 

returned to the car, and grabbed 

the Mossberg, discharging a 

round into the air to scatter the 

crowd so they could leave.

Poll: National and 

Act could govern 

Beethoven 

PIANO 

CONCERTO CYCLE 

THE LATEST political poll has National 

nudging past Labour and able to form a 

government with the Act Party. 

But voters still don’t appear to be resonating 

with National leader Christopher 

Luxon, who is at his lowest favorability 

rating since becoming leader in November 

2021. 

The latest Taxpayers’ Union-Curia poll 

was released yesterday, revealing Labour 

had dropped just over three points in 

the past month to 33.8 per cent of the 

party vote, falling behind National which 

dropped by just under one point to 35.6 

per cent. 

The big winner was Act, bumping up 3.2 

points to 12.7 per cent. The results would 

mean National at 46 seats and Act on 16 

could form a government with 62 out of 

the 120 seats. 

The Green Party was relatively stable at 7 

per cent (up 0.3 points since April). Te Pāti 

Māori was on 3.7 per cent, up 0.8 points. 

Those results for Parliament’s current 

left-wing parties would see Labour get 44 

seats, the Green Party nine seats and Te 

Pāti Māori five seats. 

While the centre-right would be in a 

position to form a government, Prime 

Minister and Labour leader Chris Hipkins 

continues to prove far more popular than 

National’s Luxon. 

Hipkins’ net favourability score was 

positive 22 per cent – six points lower than 

last month and down 11 points on his 

March peak of positive 33 per cent. 

Luxon meanwhile was at negative 7 per 

cent, meaning more people gave him an 

unfavourable rating than favourable. 

This was his lowest level since he became 

National Party leader in November 2021. 

Act Party leader David Seymour was on 

negative 11 per cent. 

Among National voters, Hipkins had a 

slightly positive net favourability rating of 

7 per cent while Luxon had a score of negative 

56 per cent with Labour voters. 

Among undecided voters, Hipkins had 

a positive net favourability of 30 per cent, 

while Luxon was on negative 26 per cent. 

The poll was conducted between May 2 

and May 7 and included 1000 respondents.

After they were apprehended the 

13-year-old girl told police “I love it, I’m 

just addicted”, it is understood. 

The 13-year-old boy is also believed to 

have been involved in joyriding a stolen 

car to Oamaru and then back to Christchurch, 

a trip of about 500km. 

A source said the boy’s offending was 

“escalating”. 

“He’s just going for it.” 

Driving from Christchurch to Nelson 

and back in stolen cars was “just Russian 

roulette”, the source said. 

“We have so many crashes with your 

average driver through the Lewis Pass . . 

. It’s a long drive, it’s going to be tedious, 

and for a young person who probably has a 

very short attention span that’s going to be 

a lot of effort to keep it on the road.” 

It was previously revealed a 9-year-old 

was believed to be involved in one of many 

groups of youth offenders behind a series 

of car thefts and burglaries in Christchurch. 

A police source said staff were seeing a 

“continual drop in age” in youth offenders. 

“I think that’s a very concerning aspect 

because for us it’s now dropping very 

strongly into that non-prosecutable group 

and that’s causing us headaches because 

we can’t bring any control to that, we can’t 

bring any meaningful accountability. 

“There is still the activeness of the 

higher age level which just continues on as 

it always has, but this younger group what 

we are seeing is just that repetitive nature 

of their offending because they’re getting 

caught, they’re getting returned home and 

they’re out and gone within hours and 

back into the offending.” 

Police were involved in a number of 

initiatives aimed at preventing youth offending 

and reoffending, said Canterbury 

metro area commander Superintendent 

Lane Todd. 

“We recognise that in order to prevent 

future generations of young people from 

serious harm, we need to work in a collaborative 

way to address the underlying 

causes of youth offending.”

Nearby residents are upset 

and angry the city council is 

allowing container stacks up to 

six high on the land adjacent 

to their homes, but city council 

planning and consents boss John 

Higgins said the fact the council 

doesn’t know the exact height 

of the stacks doesn’t change the 

council’s view. 

“They are allowed to stack to 

six containers high at the moment,” 

he said. 

That decision was made by the 

city council in November, pending 

the outcome of a resource 

consent application. 

“I can’t see there’s been 

reference to an actual height 

(in the resource consent), only 

the number of containers,” said 

Higgins. 

Investigations by The Star 

show operators are stacking containers 

at least 11.6m high, with 

most up to 17.4m. 

“The current situation is just 

temporary to allow the resource 

process to be completed,” said 

Higgins. 

The industrial park sits between 

the Ōpāwaho Heathcote 

River and Tunnel Rd. 

Residents to the east are also 

upset by noise at the site. 

High property developer Richard 

Peebles’ company Braeburn 

Property owns the land. 

After residents complained, 

Peebles lodged the resource 

consent application, asking to 

be allowed to build the stacks 

higher than the authorised 11m. 

He also wants permission 

to store containers four high

(11.6m) on some parts of the site 

designated for landscaping and 

stormwater. 

Peebles was approached for 

comment, but did not respond. 

Residents said the majority 

of containers on the site are 

40ft-long 45G1 ‘high-cube’ 

containers, most common for 

international shipping. Each is 

2.9m tall. 

Resident Melissa McCutchan 

said eight stacks of those containers 

– directly opposite her 

house on Long St – were six high 

until the stacks were lowered to 

four last week. 

Other container towers, 

opposite Gould Cres, were still 

being stacked six high (17.4m) 

when The Star visited on Friday. 

A city council environmental 

health officer also visited the area 

on Friday at 6.45am to monitor 

noise levels. 

McCutchan said operations on 

the site usually start from 6am 

but on Friday the site was quiet 

until 7.20am, after the officer 

left. 

The city council said no-one is 

forewarned when council officers 

visit, but its officers do sometimes 

use sign-written vehicles. 

Residents claim work often 

stops when those vehicles are 

seen in the area. 

City council head of regulatory 

compliance Tracey Weston 

said using a combination of 

(sign-written) pool vehicles and 

unmarked vehicles will continue. 

It depends on vehicle availability 

at the time, she said.

COURT 


Shopping centre tragedy: Parents 

Judge says 

no evidence 

presence 

of drugs 

caused crash 


A MAN was clearing out 

guttering near a car park at the 

Bush Inn Centre when he was 

fatally run over by a woman with 

methamphetamine and cannabis 

in her system. 

Angela Fay Spyve was sentenced 

to six months’ community 

detention in the district court on 

one charge of impaired driving 

causing death by Judge Raoul 

Neave. 

According to the summary of 

facts, the victim, Jeffrey Robert 

Ilott, arrived at the Bush Inn 

about 1.30pm on June 17, 2021. 

Ilott, a 57-year-old maintenance 

worker, had been asked 

to carry out maintenance jobs 

around the property at the request 

of the mall manager. 

Ilott parked his vehicle to the 

rear of the centre on the eastern 

side before speaking with the 

MISSED: Jeffrey Ilott died after being struck by a car at the 

Bush Inn Shopping Centre on June 17, 2021. 

mall manager at the Bush Inn 

Centre office. 

At 2.25pm, Spyve arrived at 

the mall and parked in the underground 

car park to the southeastern 

area of the mall. Both 

Spyve and her friend entered the 

mall to complete various purchases 

from within the mall. 

About 2.40pm, Ilott was 

clearing out a drain in a service 

laneway on the eastern side of the 

Bush Inn Centre. He was wearing 

a yellow hi-vis top while on his 

hands and knees cleaning out the 

guttering with the use of a hammer 

and bucket. 

He had no safety barriers or 

traffic management set up to 

alert drivers to his presence. At 

‘To hear dad breaking 

down crying in the 

bathroom often when he 

is on his own, not realising 

we can hear him, is just the 

saddest thing’ 

– Sandra Coffey 

this time Spyve and her friend 

returned to her car. They were in 

a rush to collect their children 

from school. 

Spyve exited one of the eastern 

exits of the underground car 

park, turning right onto the 

laneway to travel in a southerly 

direction. At this point, Spyve 

ran over Ilott, trapping him 

under her car. 

Spyve, who had not noticed his 

presence in the laneway, could 

not understand why her vehicle 

was now stationary and seemingly 

stuck. She tried to move the 

car by accelerating and reversing 

before getting out and seeing Ilott 

under the car. 

The pair got out of the car and 

emergency services were contacted. 

On arrival, they got Ilott 

from under the vehicle. He was 

showing no signs of life and was 

pronounced dead at 3.06pm. 

Spyve’s car was seized, and she 

requested personal items from 

her car prior to it being removed 

to a secure location. 

Police began removing items, 

during which they found 

evidence of offences under the 

Misuse of Drugs Act. 

She was then asked to undergo 

a compulsory impairment test at 

the Christchurch Central Police 

Station. 

She failed parts of the impairment 

test and she had a blood 

sample taken. The sample showed 

methamphetamine and cannabis 

in her system at the time of the 

crash. 

Spyve told police she had a 

methamphetamine addiction 

from a previous “toxic” relationship. 

She also acknowledged 

smoking methamphetamine the 

morning of the accident. 

She said at no point did she see 

Ilott. 

Ilott’s sister, Sandra Coffey, 

read out a victim impact statement 

to the court. 

“Jeff is consistently in our 

thoughts and prayers from the 

moment we wake till we lay our 

heads at night.” 

His death had a “major impact” 

on his parents, Sid and Ruth. 

“No parent should have to bury 

a child. Their grief has not left 

their faces. They have lost their 

spark in life and twinkle in their 

eyes. It breaks our hearts to see 

our parents suffer in this way at 

this late stage in their lives.”

COURT 9 

wish they had been ‘taken’ instead 

Ilott’s mother could not say 

his name without tears running 

down her face, and his father had 

lost his best friend. 

“To hear dad breaking down 

crying in the bathroom often 

when he is on his own, not realising 

we can hear him, is just the 

saddest thing,” Coffey said. 

“They wish it was them that 

was taken that day, not Jeff, who 

had so much of his life left to 

live.” 

Ilott was always there for his 

siblings, who struggled to comprehend 

he was dead. 

His friends and fishing club 

“family” described him as a 

“gentle giant with a heart of 

gold”. 

Spyve’s lawyer, Kerry Cook, 

said she wanted to publicly 

apologise for the “needless death 

of a beloved family member”. 

He said what happened was 

“unusual”, with a combination 

of causative factors, a number of 

which were out of her control. 

She had no previous convictions, 

and there had been a 

number of serious and traumatic 

events that had befallen her. 

“That doesn’t justify or excuse 

the offending, but it provides a 

direct nexus or explanation for 

the behaviour.” 

He said it was a “very unique 

set of circumstances”. 

RESPONSE: Emergency services at the scene of the fatal 

accident in June 2021. 

PHOTOS: NZ HERALD 

Judge Neave agreed and said 

he had “never seen anything like 

it”. 

Cook said the stigma of a 

conviction being entered carried 

with it a “serious condemnation” 

of Spyve’s actions. 

“Her record will reflect that 

she is responsible for a death 

and that the death occurred 

while she was using a Class A 

controlled drug. No-one seeing 

that will draw the causative 

distinctions that the court will 

draw in this case, they will simply 

conclude that she was a drug 

user that killed someone because 

of her drug use. That is a very 

heavy burden to bear and in my 

submission the court should take 

that into account in assessing all 

the penalties.” 

Crown prosecutor Courtney 

Martyn said it was accepted 

Spyve’s remorse was genuine, 

and that she was someone who 

had otherwise lived a “very prosocial 

life”. 

Judge Neave said what happened 

was a “terrible, disastrous 

outcome”. 

He said there was no suggestion 

or evidence that the presence 

of the drugs were directly 

causative of the crash. 

He also said there was no suggestion 

that Ilott had contributed 

to his own death. 

There were a number of 

relevant factors noted in police’s 

investigation into the crash, 

including the drain being situated 

in the centre of the laneway 

and that the work area was not 

cordoned off, with no warning 

signs in place. 

The side wall of the base of the 

car park also obstructed Spyve’s 

view when exiting onto the 

laneway. 

Spyve may have been distracted 

by a dog running along 

the edge of the laneway, and her 

vision was obstructed by her 

vehicle as she turned. 

“Essentially there was a blindspot 

that would’ve been present 

while she was completing the 

turn.” 

Speed was not a factor, the 

summary of facts stated. 

“Suffice to say there are a number 

of causes completely outside 

the defendant’s control which 

contributed to this accident, as 

well as whatever factors that she 

brought to bear exist,” Judge 

Neave said. 

“There is no evidence to suggest 

that there was any act of 

carelessness or negligence or 

worse on her part which contributed 

to the accident. Whilst she 

had the prohibited substances in 

her blood, there is absolutely no 

suggestion that they in some way 

impaired her judgment or had 

some causative role to play.” 

He said “at best” the case involved 

“a moment’s inattention” 

in relation to an obstacle that 

anybody could have missed. 

Spyve had no previous 

convictions and was “highly 

unlikely” to ever come back to 

court. 

She had started taking steps to 

deal with her methamphetamine 

use and was now in a much 

more stable relationship and 

environment. 

She was convicted and 

sentenced to six months 

community detention with 

12 months supervision. She 

was also ordered to pay $3000 

to Ilott’s parents and was 

disqualified from driving for six 

months.

about $35,000. 

Davidson wouldn’t rule out 

staying on the board until the

POLICE HAVE spoken to the key suspect 

in two high profile burglaries, but don’t 

appear to have enough evidence to make 

an arrest. 

The Star can reveal police have identified 

who they believe is the offender – but he is 

denying any involvement. 

The burglaries relate to one in Burnham 

in early March where the elderly home 

owner surprised the offender and scuffled 

with him; and the other in Tai Tapu on 

Boxing Day. 

In that burglary, the home owner found 

an axe had been left at the scene when 

he returned to find his house had been 

broken into. 

The offender, tattooed and believed to 

be in his 50s, fled the Burnham scene 

in a distinctive white Mercedes Sprinter 

camper van. The same vehicle was used 

in the Tai Tapu burglary. It was caught on 

CCTV leaving the scene. The homeowner’s 

vehicle was also stolen, meaning there was 

more than one offender at that burglary. 

The van involved in the burglaries has 

been sighted numerous times at a social 

housing unit in Woolston. 

Police continue to say little about the 

investigations, other than: “Inquiries are 

ongoing.” 

But The Star can reveal the suspect is 

well known to police and is associated 

with a person connected to the white 

Mercedes. The Burnham victim said last 

month he was frustrated by the lack of police 

progress. Since then, he has undergone 

a formal process of trying to identify the 

offender from mugshots. Earlier he had 

been shown a mugshot of a suspect during 

a chance meeting with a police officer at a 

service station. 

The victim told The Star he did not know 

if an Up and Go drink he believes was left 

by the offender when he surprised him in 

his home had been forensically tested by 

police. 

The victim said he found the drink container 

after police left his home following 

the break-in. 

It was not his so could only have been 

left behind by the burglars when he surprised 

him. 

He said he put it in a plastic bag and put 

it in the fridge until police picked it up. 

He was hopeful a DNA test on the drink 

container might connect it to the suspect if 

the offender was on the police database. 

But the victim said he was told cost 

could be a factor in whether the container 

was tested or not. 

Police would not answer specific 

questions from The Star about the Up and 

Go drink and whether it had or would be 

forensically-tested.

Ilam is poised to be

WHILE INCUMBENT Labour

Davidson is running for the

Manj lives in Avonhead, 

Campbell lives in Riccarton and

“This was a really gnarly issue 

that had been adversely affecting 

not only the residents, but every 

visitor and business in the area

Her weakness is a tendency to 

overwork, she said. “I need to be 

encouraged to take a little down 

time occasionally.”

tight election race looms 

Campbell is a scientist and 

researcher. He went to Christchurch 

Boys’ High where he 

was deputy head boy. He then 

moved to Dunedin to complete 

a PhD in molecular cell biology, 

specialising in cancer and 

viruses. 

He said his biggest achievements 

includes advancing 

multiple sclerosis research and 

advocacy. 

His campaign is also raising 

his personal profile in the 

electorate. Campbell is relatively 

new to politics, even though 

he was blooded against Megan 

Woods in the Wigram electorate 

during the last election, which 

he lost by 14,770 votes. Woods, 

who has held the Wigram seat 

since 2011, took out 62 per cent 

of the vote. 

Davidson is an advocate of the 

city’s controversial cycleways 

and was Papanui city councillor 

for two terms until he was 

ousted in last year’s local body 

elections. 

He is proud of the work he did 

as a city councillor, supporting 

sustainable transport programmes 

such as public transport 

and cycleway projects. But 

he is working to change how he 

is perceived by voters. 

“Some people perceive me 

as just an advocate for cycling. 

2020 Ilam election results 

•Sarah PALLETT (Labour): 

19,825 (won by 3463 

votes) 

•Gerry BROWNLEE 

(National): 16,362 

•David BENNETT (Green):

•Paul GILBERT (ACT):

•Simon WALMISLEY 

(CNSP): 661 

Total valid votes cast: 

42,567 

However, my focus has always 

been more broadly on climate 

change and the environment,” 

he said. 

He said climate change issues 

are front of mind for many 

young voters. But he admitted 

Ilam will likely be a battle between 

Labour and National. 

Manji, who won the Fendalton-Waimairi 

city council seat 

in 2013 and was re-elected in 

the Waimairi Ward in 2016, 

stepped down at the 2019 local 

body elections. 

Manji ran for Ilam as an 

independent in the 2017 general 

election. He received 8321 

votes to finish second behind 

Brownlee on 16,577 but ahead 

of Labour candidate Anthony 

Rimell on 7662. Manji rates his 

chances of winning the seat in 

October. 

He chaired the advisory group 

which decided how the money 

raised for the victims of the 

March 15, 2019, mosque terror 

attacks was used. 

“I’m most proud of my work 

to support the victims and 

survivors of that attack. My 

weakness is paying too much 

attention to policy details.” 

Who are the Ilam candidates 

•Sarah Pallett – Labour: Pallett 

lives in Ilam with her husband 

Andy. She has two adult 

children who attended Ilam 

Primary School. She moved to 

Christchurch in 2004 and was 

a community midwife. Before 

entering Parliament, she 

co-founded the Canterbury 

Women’s Branch of the Labour 

Party. Pallett currently sits on 

the Health Select Committee, 

is deputy chair of the Petitions 

Committee, chair of the 

Labour Wāhine Caucus, and a 

member of the New Zealand 

parliamentarians’ group on 

population and development 

and the Commonwealth 

women parliamentarians 

group. 

•Hamish Campbell – National: 

Campbell lives in Riccarton 

and grew up in the electorate. 

He attended Christchurch 

Boys’ High and has a PhD 

in molecular cell biology, 

specialising in cancer and 

viruses. He is deputy head of 

research for an Australianbased 

not for-profit dedicated 

to multiple sclerosis research 

and advocacy. Before that he 

was a lecturer in medicine at 

the University of Sydney while 

working as a scientist at the 

Children’s Medical Research 

Institute. He lives in Riccarton 

and is involved in a family 

organic apple orchard in the 

west of the electorate and 

runs a flower delivery business 

with his wife Carol. 

•Mike Davidson - Green Party: 

Davidson, who lives in Papanui, 

was a city councillor for six 

years. He led the development 

of the city’s transport plan and 

championed the cycleway 

network. Davidson was a 

strong advocate for residential 

intensification, biodiversity 

and healthy waterways. He 

has an environmental science 

degree and previously worked 

for EQC. Davidson believes in 

mitigating and adapting to the 

challenges of climate change. 

He lives in Papanui.

Book on iconic Edmonds brand 

TAKE A TEASPOON of baking 

powder, an art deco building 

and legacy gardens, then add 

an iconic Kiwi brand, a dash of 

philanthropy – and you’ve got a 

rich slice of social and culinary 

history. 

Sure to Rise: The Edmonds 

Story is about the famous 

baking powder family and the 

factory and gardens gifted to 

Christchurch by founder Thomas 

Edmonds. 

Authored by Peter Alsop, 

Kate Parsonson and Richard 

Wolfe, the book 

uses more than 

500 images 

to document 

the Edmonds 

family story and 

evolution of one 

of New Zealand’s 

Peter Alsop 

most distinctive 

brands and its 

trademark – the Edmonds Sure 

to Rise logo. 

Wolfe first wrote about 

Edmonds 36 years ago in 

his 1987 book, Well Made 

New Zealand: A Century 

of Trademarks. 

“The rising sun trademark is so 

positive, such a glorious image. 

While there were plenty of 19thcentury 

products with similar 

motifs, the Edmonds label was 

one of the more attractive. And 

has proved the most durable,” 

Wolfe said. The slogan – Sure 

to Rise – was also an important 

factor in the product’s success. 

“Around the late 

1800s, home-bakers were 

suffering failures because 

there were so many 

unreliable baking powders 

on the market – it seems 

most towns had their own 

versions. 

“The story goes that 

a doubting customer 

asked founder Thomas 

Edmonds if his baking powder 

would be any better and was 

told: ‘Madam, it is sure to rise’. 

Richard 

Wolfe 

“Edmonds quickly recognised 

the line would play an important 

role in promotion of the 

product, and eventually 

his product overtook all 

others.” 

Co-author Kate 

Parsonson is the greatgreat-granddaughter 

of 

the Edmonds’ founder. 

She met many third and 

fourth cousins for the first 

time while researching 

Edmonds’ stories and 

photographs and accessed 

memories and memorabilia 

passed down for generations. 

HISTORY: The Edmonds factory and gardens in Woolston 

in 1939. Above – Peter Alsop, Kate Parsonson and Richard 

Wolfe’s book Sure to Rise: The Edmonds Story and the 

famous Sure to Rise Cookery Book first published in 1908. 

“The story starts with the 

young newlyweds, Thomas 

and Jane Edmonds, arriving 

in Christchurch in 1879,” 

Parsonson said. “They went on to 

have four sons who all worked in 

the factory and four daughters. 

“There are so many 

descendants, I grew up knowing 

only that our branch descended 

from the eldest son William who 

was born in 1880. 

“Family tradition suggests that, 

as he stepped off the Waitangi at 

Lyttelton in 1879, Thomas found 

a coin in his pocket, tossed it 

overboard and firmly stated that 

he would ‘arrive with no money 

and start from scratch with 

everything now coming from my 

own hands’. 

“In 1880, he bought a modest 

grocery store in Woolston 

on what ultimately became 

Edmonds St. 

“Thomas went around with a 

little cart that sold shop wares. 

Housewives complained about 

not having effective baking 

powder because it came out on 

the ship from England and, after 

three months in a crate at sea, 

it would arrive spoiled from the 

damp.”

Parsonson also heard 

tales from other Edmonds’ 

enthusiasts. 

“Somewhere on a boardroom 

shelf of the Edmonds building 

in Woolston sat the ‘Tickler’ 

– a file box which housed the 

Edmonds baking powder recipe. 

“When the factory was being 

bowled in 1990, quick-thinking 

neighbours retrieved the box 

from the wreckage skip. 

“Unfortunately, the recipe was 

gone, but they managed to save 

a portrait of founder Thomas 

Edmonds and a scale model of 

the famous factory, along with 

other bits and pieces.” 

The neighbours subsequently 

started the Friends of the 

Edmonds Gardens. 

Interested in history and 

the culture around cooking, 

Parsonson trialled the odd 

recipe from the 1908 first 

edition of the Edmonds Sure to 

Rise Cookery Book. 

“The Yorkshire scones looked 

and tasted more like a flat, bland 

savoury biscuit,” she said. 

“It’s been fascinating to 

document the evolution of a 

cookbook that has become a 

cherished and essential part of 

this country’s culinary history 

– the Edmonds has a place in 

many people’s hearts as well as 

their kitchens, often handed 

down from generation to 

generation.” Alsop particularly 

enjoyed researching the 

family, company, social and 

advertising history, which he 

said was full of intrigue, insight 

and inspiration. 

“More than 140 years since 

Thomas and Jane arrived in 

New Zealand, the full story 

of an entrepreneurial family 

and their diverse legacy is now 

told. Being involved in this 

team achievement has been 


sure to inspire, intrigue 

a great opportunity.” Alsop 

co-designed Sure to Rise: The 

Edmonds Story with The Gas 

Project’s Gary Stewart. 

“Designing a book on one 

of New Zealand’s best-known 

and longest-running brands 

was both a responsibility and 

privilege – with hope that the 

result honours Edmonds’ own 

impressive design legacy,” Alsop 

said. 

“For those like me who love

empire after moving from 

London to Christchurch in

vintage commercial art, the 

book offers a treasure trove 

of advertising, along with 

important history on innovative 

marketing techniques. 

“The Edmonds Cookery 

Book – given away free from 

1908 with beautiful early covers 

– is surely one of the most 

potent marketing initiatives in 

New Zealand’s history. 

“The famous Edmonds ‘E’ – a 

famous logo itself and part of 

Kiwiana – has also become 

much better understood. It is 

almost certainly a composite 

arrangement of T-J-E, the 

initials of Thomas John 

Edmonds, and therefore a 

wonderful enduring tribute to 

the company’s founder,” Alsop 

said

More than 

1000 new

year for the 

next 30 years 

• By Daniel Alvey 

THE SELWYN District is 

growing faster than predicted, a 

new report has revealed. 

The report was commissioned 

by the Selwyn District Council 

to assist it in future decisionmaking. 

In 2022 Selwyn’s population 

was 79,000 compared to 27,600 in 

2000, a growth of 4.9 per cent per 

annum. This makes it the second 

highest growing district in New 

Zealand, behind the Queenstown- 

Lakes District. 

Statistics New Zealand December 

2022 population projections 

indicate the district will cross 

100,000 by 2029 and will reach 

almost 150,000 by 2053. 

The report estimates there will 

need to be 12,547 new dwellings 

in the next decade, at a rate of 

1255 a year. It estimates there is 

a need for 32,763 new dwellings 

over the next 30 years, at a rate of 

1092 a year. 

While the short-to-medium 

term needs are met, there is 

estimated to be a shortage of 2753 

houses in the long term.

The lack of parking for 

Christchurch Hospital is serious. 

The area of Hagley Park 

opposite the hospital’s main 

entrance could play a vital part 

in providing 200-plus car spaces. 

It would be necessary for it to be 

on a temporary basis. 

The area could be leased for 10 

years to provide parking for staff, 

particularly night staff. 

Protecting vulnerable staff is 

the most important problem to 

solve in addressing staff safety. 

- Paul Wilson 

Somerfield 

Twelve years on from the 

earthquake, it is astonishing 

there are still no convenient 

staff car parks for our hospital 

staff. On top of this, it will only 

provide up to 150 spaces when 

demand is over 500. 

While the Government, the 

city council and the hospital 

argued over who would pay for 

the building, the duty of care for 

staff has not been provided and 

the building budget has blown 

out to $13.2 million. 

Had the offer by a 

Christchurch businessman to 

build the car park 10 years ago 

been taken up, we would not be 

in this embarrassing position.

YEO’s cartoon of May 4

The imaginary 9.4 per cent 

tax rate for the wealthy is on 

their “economic income”, which 

includes all unrealised capital 

gains such as any increase in the 

value of a home. 

Mr Middle NZ’s 20.2 per cent 

actual tax rate is on his $80,000

No matter how many

population, many of them 

families, remains the same. 

We need to ask our 

Government why they are

to New Zealand, when we

The current Government is 

completely out the door in

It does not understand supply

broke with prices escalating in

Coupled with poor quality

Murphy readies for 400th milestone 

• By Jaime Cunningham 

FEW CAN say they have played 

400 matches at the top level of 

any club sport, let alone for the 

same club. 

But when Chris Murphy takes 

the field for Ferrymead Bays in 

the first round of the Chatham 

Cup on Saturday, he will be 

making his 400th appearance for 

his club’s top team. 

The 36-year-old is the first 

to reach the milestone for any 

Christchurch football club. 

Murphy already holds the record 

for the most premier team games 

in the city, with Mike Harvey 

(359) the next highest. Harvey 

played for Rangers from 1991- 

2006. 

Murphy has represented Bays 

since he moved to New Zealand 

from Northern Ireland at age 13. 

He also represented Canterbury 

for several years. 

“I just play for the love of the 

game,” he said. 

“There are actually a couple of 

older guys in the team, but they 

like to call me the oldest.” 

Murphy has coached at 

Ferrymead Bays for 16 years, 

and also coaches the under-15 

Ōtākaro team. 

“Not many can say they’ve 

played with guys they’ve coached 

– it doesn’t happen that often,” 

he said. 

Murphy also played alongside 

his father Neil in the 2006 

Mainland Premier League title 

winning team. 

“Probably one of my highlights 

was being able to play with Dad,” 

Murphy said. 

“Football was always a good 

hobby and I just ended up 

following dad into the sport.” 

He captained the Bays side 

that won the premier title again 

in 2011, and was part of the team 

Rising stars head to World Cup 

• By Jaime Cunningham 

THREE PLAYERS with strong 

links to Christchurch have been 

named in the FIFA under-20 

World Cup squad. 

Kian Donkers, who has played 

for Cashmere Technical, former 

Selwyn United defender Finn 

Surman (left) and Adam Supyk 

(former Nomads) have been 

selected in the squad of 21 for the 

tournament which starts on May 

20 in Argentina. 

Although all three currently 

live outside Canterbury, they 

each made their mark on the 

city’s youth grades before 

that made the quarter finals of 

the Chatham Cup in 2010. 

When Murphy takes the field 

against Nomads on Saturday, it 

will be the 20th appearance for 

the midfielder at the national 

knockout tournament – which 

he has played in every year since 

making the Bays’ top side. 

Bays and Nomads last played 

each other in the second round 

of this year’s Southern League, 

with Bays winning 2-1. 

moving away as teenagers. 

Donkers was part of the 

Cashmere High first XI who 

won the Connetics school 

premier competition last season. 

The forward moved to the 

Netherlands at the start of the 

year to play for NEC Nijmegen in 

the country’s top football league, 

the Eredivisie. 

Defenders Surman, 19, and 

Supyk, 19, left the city in 2019 to 

play for the Wellington Phoenix 

academy when they were 15. 

Surman is currently contracted 

to the Wellington Phoenix and 

played 148 minutes in four 

games this season. 

Murphy hopes Saturday’s 

game will be an opportunity 

for his side to get back to their 

winning ways, following last 

weekend’s 3-0 loss to FC Twenty 

11. Bays were also thrashed 

by Christchurch United 6-0 

in round five of the Southern 

League. 

“I guess getting back to 

winning terms will be great 

after some challenging losses 

recently,” he said. 

Supyk moved to Auckland 

at the start of the year to play 

for Eastern Suburbs and has 

previously played for the Phoenix 

Reserves. 

The New Zealand under-20 

team will be coached by Darren 

Bazely, who previously played 

for Watford, Wolverhampton 

Wanderers and Walsall in the 

United Kingdom. 

Bazely said he was “really 

pleased” with the squad. 

“These are a great bunch of 

lads, playing around the world, 

and I know the whole squad 

can’t wait to get to Argentina

“Hopefully we’ll be able to 

enjoy a beer after the game.” 

Although reaching 400 

appearances seems like a lifetime 

goal for many in sport, there is 

no end in sight for Murphy. 

“It’s just a game, and I guess 

I’ll see how long I play for – as 

long as I’m not stopping any 

youth coming through,” he said.

RUGBY (ALL GAMES 

SATURDAY 3PM) 

After four rounds on the road, 

Sumner return to St Leonards 

Square to take on High School 

Old Boys in their first home 

game of the season. 

The Wave lost to Marist Albion 

40-20 in round 4’s DCL Shield 

match after trailing 19-13 at 

halftime. 

Sumner head coach Gareth 

D’almeida said the team are 

looking forward to their first 

of three Metro premier home 

games this season. 

“We’re expecting a large 

turnout and just hoping people 

will make the most of it,” he said. 

High School Old Boys beat 

Shirley 33-29 in a tight game and 

now sit on 11 points. 

The Wave, who also have 

11 points, have been boosted 

by five new players from the 

United Kingdom. Three of the 

five, including Andrew Turner 

who debuted for the Crusaders 

in their 48-13 win over the 

Force, are academy players from 

England’s Premiership Rugby 

competition. 

“There’s quite a lot of history 

and a good relationship between 

Sumner and clubs over there,” 

D’almeida said. 

Marist are set to defend the 

DCL Shield against University 

of Canterbury. UC narrowly lost 

43-37 to defending champions 

Sydenham at the weekend. 

Sydenham play struggling 

Belfast who were unable to score 

a try in the 27-3 loss to New 

Brighton in round 4. 

New Brighton host 

Christchurch who are yet to 

record a win following their 

57-0 thrashing at the hands of 

Linwood. Third-placed Linwood 

take on fourth-placed Lincoln 

University at Linfield Park. 

Lincoln University beat Burnside 

24-17 in round 4. 

Meanwhile, Burnside will look 

for their third win of the season 

when they take on Shirley. 

FOOTBALL 

The Southern League takes 

a break this weekend as 11 

Christchurch teams feature 

in the opening round of the 

Chatham Cup. 

League leaders Christchurch 

United play the first cup 

match on Friday night against 

Parklands. 

United go into the game on the 

back of a clinical 4-0 win over 

Nelson Suburbs in the league last 

weekend. 

Cashmere Technical play 

Selwyn United after suffering 

their first league loss of the 

season to Dunedin City Royals 

3-2. 

Selwyn come off a 4-1 loss to 

Green Island in round 7 of the 

league. 

FC Twenty 11 are confident 

going into their opening round 

game against Halswell United 

following a 3-0 win over 

Ferrymead Bays. 

Nomads host Ferrymead on 

Saturday, after a tight 2-1 loss to 

Coastal Spirit. The team now sit

NETBALL (ALL GAMES 

TUESDAY) 

Technical A and Kia Toa A 

are set to battle it out in round 

4 of the premier netball season. 

Both teams are fighting to avoid 

relegation and searching for their 

first win of the season. 

Technical suffered yet another 

loss but gained their second 

bonus point in three games 

following a 39-37 loss to Lincoln 

University B. 

Led by Janae Riordan’s 34 

goals from 42 attempts, Lincoln 

University B recorded their 

second win of the year. But they 

face a big challenge against UC 

A. UC A are coming into form 

after their surprise first round 

loss to Kereru B in round 1. 

Lincoln University A came 

away with their closest win of the 

season so far, beating Kia Toa A 

56-41 in round 3. The defending 

champions are yet to win a game 

by less than 10 goals. Kereru A 

have to be at their best to come 

close to Lincoln University A 

who are boosted by the return of 

young shooter Taiana Day from 

the National Netball League for 

the remainder of the season. 

Kereru B suffered a hefty loss 

to Kereru A in the last round 

and are set play Hearts St Peters 

who recorded their first loss of 

the season going down to UC A 

50-35.

RUGBY LEAGUE (ALL 

GAMES SATURDAY, 

2.45PM) 

The Riccarton Knights have an 

opportunity to follow up their 

first win of the season, when 

they host the Halswell Hornets at 

Crosbie Park. 

The Knights won their first 

game against the Northern 

Bulldogs 28-16 at the weekend 

and are fifth on the premiership 

table. After blowing a 16-4 

halftime lead against the Hornby 

Panthers, the Hornets take on 

the Knights. The Panthers scored 

an unanswered 20-points in the 

opening stages of the second half 

against the Hornets to get a 28- 

20 win. The Bulldogs are looking 

to stop the Keas’ unbeaten streak 

this weekend, but will need a 

far better performance than last 

week when they trailed 22-0 

against the Knights after 40 

minutes. A tight match is on the 

cards for the Panthers when they 

take on the Eagles who pushed 

the Linwood Keas last weekend 

but were unable to come away 

with the win, losing 28-16. 

At halftime, the Eastern Eagles 

and Keas were locked at 10-10. 

But a dominant second half saw 

the defending champions score 

three tries to the Eagles’ one. 

HOCKEY (ALL GAMES 

SATURDAY) 

Carlton Redcliffs lead both the 

men’s and women’s competitions 

after three rounds of the 

Canterbury Premier League. 

The men’s side are already two 

points clear at the top of the table 

after a 2-0 win over Hornby. 

Southern dominated 

University to get their first win of 

the season 6-2, which included a 

Jonathon Smalberger hat-trick. 

University play Hornby as 

they search for a win after three 

losses. 

HSOB/Burnside face a 

challenge to beat Carlton 

Redcliffs in the fourth round, but 

will be looking to continue their 

momentum after a 4-2 win over 

Harewood. Meanwhile, second 

place will be up for grabs when 

Marist and Harewood play each 

other. 

In the women’s competition, 

the top of the ladder looks 

similar to the men’s table, with 

Carlton Redcliffs on nine points 

followed by Marist on seven. 

Carlton Redcliffs take on 

HSOB/Burnside who are still 

chasing their first win after 

their opening round loss and 

a 2-2 draw with Harewood 

last weekend. Marist look to 

return to winning ways against 

Harewood after their 1-1 draw 

last week. 

Harewood have an 

opportunity to jump up to 

second if they can beat Marist. 

Southern play Avon after a bye 

last weekend. Both teams are 

looking to record their first win.

Keeping safe

There’s a lot to consider when putting 

your home on show during the selling

to look attractive to potential buyers, 

you don’t want them to advertise your 

precious belongings to anyone with ill

of common sense goes a long way.

With a name like Smiths City, ordinary is right there in our name. But it’s never been 

in our nature. At the first sign of ordinary, we try to do the opposite. 

There’s no such thing as an ordinary bed, or an ordinary oven or fridge – and that’s 

why we don’t sell ordinary products. If you’re after a Saturday morning trampoline, a 

Tuesday-night-tradition-maker, or a local community art gallery, we’re your people. 

For ordinary old Smiths, we’re anything but.

Mates Rates have got your back... pocket. 

Here at Smiths City we’d like you to meet our Mates... Rates. 

They’re like prices, only friendlier. They’ve always got your back, 

any day of the week. That’s what good mates rates are for. 

To find them, come and see your mates at Smiths City.

Winter Markets 

We are thrilled that our markets are proving so hugely popular with 

customers and stallholders alike. 

Starting with just 6 or so stalls we now have approaching 60 stalls 

participating with more applying weekly and customers asking when is 

the next! 

As a result of such popularity and demand we have decided to hold a 

regular BUSH INN WINTER MARKET fortnightly from May. 

This will allow stallholders and customers to continue to enjoy the 

atmosphere and fun of an outdoor market indoors – regardless of the 

weather and we hope to see you there! 

Interested stall holders please contact hamish@bushinncentre.co.nz
