Water rates go up again
• By Daniel Alvey
RISING WATER charges
caught some residents by
surprise when their bills
arrived.
Since 2021, the metered rate
price has risen 44 per cent.
Before 2021, it was 50 cents per
cubic metre, up to 60 cents last
year and rising a further 20 per
cent this year to 72 cents.
On average that means most
households will now be paying
about 26 cents a day on the
volumetric charge compared to
22 cents a day last year.
The increase in water rates
will also coincide with a 5.9
per cent average rise in the
general rates with the district
council signing off on the 2023-
24 Annual Plan last week.
Lincoln residents, who are
just receiving their water rates
bills, were surprised by the
increase.
“I thought I might have had
a few (pipe) leaks so I rang the
council to make some inquiries
and they said there had been an
increase,” one told the Selwyn
Times.
“They went from $75 to $113
for six months. The staffer at
the council told me that was for
the summer months so I should
RESIDENTS NOT HAPPY
expect to pay more but like
many people I don’t put much if
any water on the lawns anymore
because of the charges.
“But they still have jumped.
I think they should have sent
out a text to all ratepayers or
something like that to let people
know water was going up.
“The council seemed to be
happy about keeping the general
rates (increase) under six per
cent, but they’ve whacked us
in another way – high water
rates.”
Other residents in the district
who spoke to the Selwyn Times
had similar views.
Deputy mayor Malcolm Lyall
said before the increases, the
district’s water was the cheapest
in the country – and too cheap,
with district council staff asking
for the increases to pay for
maintenance costs and needed
infrastructure.

Burglary
milk drink
container
sent for
DNA testing
• By Daniel Alvey
A MILK drink container which
could hold the key to an arrest in
two high-profile burglaries will be
forensically tested.
The Selwyn
Times can
now reveal a
strawberry flavoured
Up&Go
container found
at one of the
crime scenes
has been sent for testing to see if it
yields any DNA evidence that will
match it with the prime suspect.
The suspect has been spoken
to by police but denies any
involvement.
A Burnham householder
surprised a burglar in his house
in March. The offender knocked
him over as he ran from the
house. He later found the Up&Go
container, which he believed was
the burglar’s.
The offender fled the Burnham
scene in a distinctive white
Mercedes Sprinter camper van,
which was also involved in a
burglary at Tai Tapu on December
26, Boxing Day.

THERE’S A lot of talk
around the district about the
increase in water rates.
It appears few people,
rightly or wrongly, knew another
increase was coming.
On page 1 today, we reveal
how much they have gone up
and why.
They’ve jumped more than
40 per cent in the last two
years. That’s a big jump. And
it comes right when general
rates are going up 5.9 per
cent.

Burnham-based gang president jailed
• By Belinda Feek
JASON ROSS was following
in his father’s footsteps when
he joined the Mongols gang,
becoming president of the
Burnham-based South Island
chapter.
But it wasn’t the family
connection that drove his
offending. It was the money.
The 47-year-old – dubbed
“666” in the gang – dealt in
kilograms of class A and B
drugs, and had a shoebox of cash
with $150,000 inside.
Ross was sentenced to 12
years in jail last week as a
result of Operation Silk – a
police operation targeting the
establishment of the Mongols
gang in the Bay of Plenty in 2019
and the subsequent distribution
of methamphetamine and other
drugs throughout New Zealand.
Ross was found guilty of four
charges – three of possession of
methamphetamine for supply,
one of which was representative,
and possession of the class B
drug, 25I-NBome, for supply.
The charges relate to various
trips by the Crown’s protected
witness during 2019 and 2020,
between Auckland, Te Puke,
and Christchurch, in which he
exchanged between 1kg and 2kg
of methamphetamine for cash.
In one instance, Ross handed
the witness $150,000 cash

president Jason Ross has
been jailed for 12 years.

bundled into a shoebox. Crown
prosecutor Anna Pollett said in
hindsight, Ross should have also
been charged with participating
in an organised criminal group.
But either way, his involvement
in the gang was “significant”.
Ross was instrumental in
the supply and distribution of
between 5kg and 6kg of drugs
down to, and around, the South
Island and the establishment of
the gang pad in Burnham.
“That was one of the aims of
this newly established gang,”
Pollett said.
“It was a high-risk operation
and nothing less than kilograms
would suffice.”
She pushed for a minimum
non-parole period of two-thirds
and a starting point of 14 years.
Defending counsel Thomas
Haare asked for a nine to 11-year
starting point, plus a further
12 months for the class B drug
offending.
He urged Justice Melanie
Harland not to hand down
a minimum period of
imprisonment and asked for
discounts for his client’s prospect
of rehabilitation, previous clean
criminal history, upbringing,
and the clear trajectory into
gangs, given his father had also
been a Mongols gang member.
Haare also asked for a discount,
taking into account the
effect of the prison term on Ross’
family, including his parents,
both of whom were sick, and his
partner and child.
As well as having an
operational function of receiving
and on-selling the drugs, Ross
was the South Island president
and had influence over others.
He also dealt in commercial
quantities of cash, which
Harland said was the motivating
factor behind the offending,
given he was not a user of drugs
or alcohol.
“There’s no evidence that
anything but financial profit
drove your offending. You dealt
with large amounts . . . and
distributed it in the South Island.
“You were not simply a
prospect (of the gang) . . . but the
president.”
Harland also outlined the
defendant’s upbringing. He was
born to a mother aged 16 and his
parents separated two years later,
which saw him live in Rotorua
with extended family for three
years from age 5 before moving to
Australia aged 8.
He returned to New Zealand
as a 24-year-old and set up a
painting business in Auckland
before moving to Canterbury a
few years later.
Now he said he was a hard
worker, dedicated father, partner
and son.
Harland agreed with the
Crown’s assessment of the 14-
year starting point but agreed
to a 10 per cent discount for
cultural factors and the effect
on his family, plus a further six
months for time on restricted
bail, resulting in a 12-year jail
term.
Harland declined to hand
down a minimum term of
imprisonment.

Lego theme park
SNAPPED: This van was captured by a security camera
outside the Burnham property.
Police warn victim
not to get hopes
up over DNA test
• From page 1
The Burnham householder
told the Selwyn Times police said
not to get his hopes up over the
DNA testing.
“Their words were: ‘It’s not like
you see on television where they
can get DNA off this and that
and everything else’,’’ he said.
In the Tai Tapu burglary, the
homeowner found an axe had
been left at the scene when he
returned home to find his house
had been broken into.
His home security camera
captured the distinctive van
leaving his property. A car was
also stolen, which was captured
being driven off, meaning there
was more than one offender at
this burglary.
Police appear to not have
enough evidence to make an
arrest yet.
Selwyn Times sent questions
to Selwyn police headquarters
in Rolleston about the DNA
testing. They did not respond.

WHEN DAVID Littlefair was
a boy in England he was all
for Mecano – but now he has
retired it is Lego all the way.
The 72-year-old from Lincoln
is putting the final touches on
his version of a Disney theme
park to go on display at the
Christchurch Brick Show this
weekend.
“I was a Mecano boy right
from when I was 10 and I’ve
carried that interest through my
life . . . and when I retired in
2015 I just got into Lego then,”
Littlefair said.
“My younger brother had
Lego but I never really played it.”
After going to the 2015 brick
show he bought his first Lego set
and hasn’t looked back.
“My partner says: ‘Not
another parcel’ when I’m buying
bits and pieces.”
His garage is lined with Lego
boxes, some of which are sets
he has not had a chance to build
yet.
Littlefair started off with Lego
kit sets but over time he has
learned how to create his own
models. He had his first exhibit
at the brick show in 2021.
“I take the Lego models and
adapt them to how I might want
to feature them in a display. I

also just buy parts and come up
with my own creations.
“Lego for me is much
more creative than Mecano
was, which is much more
engineering stuff.”
Littlefair estimated his latest
display was about 50 per cent
existing Lego sets and 50 per
cent his own creation.
After the show, he said he
would already be thinking about
the next display and spends
about four months building his
models. His theme park features
a Disney castle, train, and some
motorised rides, including a
roller coaster, ferris wheels,
dodgems, and a merry-goround.

Water rates controversy
• From page 1
The increase was one of the
“big decisions” of the 2021-31
Long Term Plan, with the district
council asking for feedback on
the topic. And 47.4 per cent of
people who submitted on the issue
supported raising the charges
more than the rates, with 17.3
per cent wanting the water rate
to go up the same as the annual
fixed rate.
Deputy
mayor Malcolm
Lyall said at the
time it was a
discussion.
“At the time
it was the
cheapest water
Malcolm Lyall
in the whole of
New Zealand,
which didn’t
reflect the cost
of getting the extra water to the
people,” Lyall said.
West Melton
Residents Association
chair
Tim Schurr said
he was unaware
the charges
had increased
when contacted
by the Selwyn
Tim Schurr
Times. He was
surprised at how
much it was
going up.
“The (general) rates raise we
were okay with but this one is
a long way ahead of inflation,”
Schurr said.
A district council
spokesperson said as well as
maintenance the water bills have
paid for several upgrades.
“Over the past year Selwyn
residents’ water bills covered
building or upgrading water
treatment plants, bores, pipelines
and water storage systems right
across the district from Castle
Hill to Taumutu and this year
they’ll support work to upgrade
water supply treatment and
capacity across the district,
including in Darfield, Kirwee,

As for the issue of
communication, Lyall said there
was “you can always do better”
but there is a limit to what can be
done.
“We put information out there
it will be available to be found if
you go looking,” Lyall said.
Water Works
In Selwyn around 80 per cent of households are
supplied with water from the public water supply,
with water rates maintaining a system that collects,
treats and supplies 8.8 million cubic metres of water
through around 1500km of pipes to properties across
the district.
The district council charges water in two ways for 3257
rural properties, the water bill being included in their
annual rates bill.
For 18,000 urban properties, the bill is a mix of a base
charge where everyone pays the same and a volumetric
charge that depends on the amount you use, which
gets billed every six months with the month it gets
billed being town dependent.
In Brief
CRASHED CAR
WAS STOLEN
A man who crashed a car
outside Lincoln Primary School
then left the scene was driving
a stolen car, police say. The
motorist hit three teachers’ cars
and then walked away with a
backpack filled with items. The
man has not yet been located,
police said. But they were
“following positive lines of
inquiry” after the crash on June
19.

TRAGEDY: Emma Eyles and her daughter Monroe. Emma died from
inoperable bowel and liver cancer.
Crusaders jersey
auctioned for cancer
victim’s daughter
• By Susan Sandys
A WEST MELTON quiz night has raised
$2550 to help the 10-year-old daughter of
a woman who died after a shock cancer
diagnosis.
The West Melton Rugby Club was given
two Super Rugby Pacific jerseys signed by
the title winning Crusaders to auction off
as part of its annual quiz night on Friday.
Club captain Sharlene Wiseman said the
proceeds from the jersey sold for the highest
amount of money would go to Emma
Eyles’ daughter Monroe.
Eyles died aged 41 on May 28 after she
was diagnosed with inoperable bowel and
liver cancer.
She spent eight months in agonising
pain going back and forth to doctors who
told her she had irritable bowel syndrome
or a gastro bug – and sent her home with
paracetamol.
Her daughter Monroe is now adjusting
to life without her mother.
A Givealittle page created for Monroe
has raised more than $76,000 of its
$100,000 goal. Leading up to the
quiz night, the club said on social
media: “Now is the time for our community
to do all we can do to help look after
Monroe, which was Emma’s only wish
before she sadly lost her battle with bowel
cancer.”
The jerseys were donated by club sponsor
Ultimate Design and Renovation.
Wiseman said the bidding was strong
for the two jerseys, which fetched $2300
and $2000.
Quiz attendees made some cash donations
on top of the auction, pushing the
club’s total for Monroe up to $2550.
There was about 120 people at the quiz
and auction.
“Times are tough for people. I just
thought it was really awesome that people
pulled together,” Wiseman said.

Weddings, funerals and talking
FOUNDER: Richard Marchant at home in Lincoln with
the family dog Clara.
Talking about death is not
morbid or depressing – it
is liberating and helps
people prepare for the
inevitable. So says Lincoln
funeral and wedding
celebrant, Richard
Marchant, who founded
the district’s first Death
Cafe in Lincoln. He spoke
to Susan Sandys
Tell me about the global
social movement of Death
Cafe and how you came to be
involved.
The whole idea of Death Cafe
is strangers gather to eat some
form of food, and just talk about
death. I saw one advertised in
Christchurch in 2019. I checked
my diary and I could make it, so
I went along to my first meeting.
And it was just wonderful, just
the whole idea of being around
other people willing to talk about
death and dying.
Do they have a morbid
fascination with death or is it
depressing?
Not usually – and it isn’t
depressing. It’s actually quite a
liberating topic. All the evidence
suggests people who talk about
death and dying are less scared of
the whole concept, and obviously
they are more prepared.
Now you have set up a Death
Cafe in Lincoln?
I decided towards the end
of 2020 – would it be viable
anywhere in Selwyn? I put
a message on the Rolleston
community page, Lincoln
community page and Selwyn
community page. I didn’t get
much of a response from either
Selwyn or Rolleston, but I did
from Lincoln.
How many people belong to
the Lincoln Death Cafe?
About one month ago, we
passed 100 (Death Cafe Lincoln
NZ) Facebook members, which
I was really pleased about. It’s
usually anywhere between six to
10 at each monthly meeting.
What are some of the subjects
people talk about?
SHARING:
Members
of the
Death
Cafe meet
monthly
at the
Lincoln
Event
Centre.
The kind of subjects we talk
about, it is fascinating. Funeral
planning comes up. End-of-life
planning, near death experiences,
people talk about their own
personal loss. It’s rare for people
to come along who have just
had somebody die, often people
will leave it six months or even
a couple of years before they are
ready to talk about it.
Any other subjects?
Someone posted on the Death
Cafe Lincoln NZ Facebook
page all about terramation. It’s
basically the official term for
human composting. They have
found this lovely 60-second
doco from Washington State in
America. They were the first in
America legally allowed to do
human composting.
Do you have what it takes to become a Civil Defence
Community Response Team (CRT) volunteer?
We’re looking for passionate Selwyn people to help their local community during an emergency, specifically Brookside/
Irwell, Greenpark, Killinchy, Norwood, Weedons, Broadfield, Coalgate, Motukarara, Springston and Windwhistle areas.
The role of a CRT is to check on the most vulnerable people, gather information about what has happened/is
happening, and open a drop-in Emergency Centre if required. Volunteers are a friendly face to the public, treating
people with compassion and respect in emergency situations.
If you’re available to attend an annual training and complete a Police Vetting check, then we want to hear from you.

OUR PEOPLE 11
about death over tea and cake
It’s basically putting your dead
loved one or family member in
a kind of chamber, which is full
of alfalfa, straw and sawdust.
Eventually, weeks later, you have
bones that need crushing up just
like you would after a cremation.
It doesn’t sound very
dignified.
From the video, it actually
looks quite cool. For those few
weeks it is going on, the family
come in, there are family photos
up and they spend a little bit of
time. It seems to be very similar
to a kind of funeral home, there
is a little area set aside for your
person while they are going
through the process.
So it is sort of like an
extended wake?
It’s wonderful, and it’s very
different to where we are heading
in New Zealand at the moment,
which is nothing. One of the hot
topics at the last few Death Cafes
is that since Covid the whole
concept of direct cremations has
gone up. I’ve got nothing against
direct cremations as long as they
are followed by something else.
What I am getting anecdotally
now through Death Cafes
and from being attached to
the funeral industry is a lot of
people opt for a direct cremation
and then nothing at all. No
ceremony, no ritual, all those
things that help us move on. It
is quite a worry because it can
leave people quite stuck. They
are not able to move on. Often it
is the close family who will make
these decisions, but if you are a
work colleague or a more distant
relative that decision has been
made for you. You don’t have to
have what we traditionally see as
a funeral, but it is important to
do something.
Can you see terramation
coming to New Zealand?
I would love it to. I am aware
of one woman in Canterbury
who is looking at bringing a
form of water cremation to
New Zealand. The whole idea
of water cremation is you lie

in this solution of water and
chemicals for so many hours.
The chemicals work so quickly.
Has there been any attempts
at your Death Cafe to connect
with the spirits of the dead?
No, we’ve had a few people
over time who have been very
close to dying themselves and
a few attendees who knew they
were dying. That’s always quite
special to actually be part of
that journey. You are giving
somebody an opportunity that
isn’t always out there in the
majority of New Zealand homes.
A lot of people come to Death
Cafe and they talk about the
fact they can’t discuss death
with anybody else. It is often a
conversation that is shut down.
I, like many at Death Cafe, grew
up not talking about death. The
guy who set up Death Cafe in
England in 2011, he was called
Jon Underwood. One of his
quotes was: ‘Talking about sex
does not make you pregnant,
just like talking about death does
not make you dead’. I love that.
I used that for one of the posters
for one of our monthly meetings.
Can you tell me a bit about
your background?
I was born just outside of
London. I went to university and
got a BA in social policy and
administration. I worked as a
prison officer and was a county
councillor in the UK.
What brought you and your
wife Sally to New Zealand?
Everything is just a little bit
slower. The fact there is a lot
less people has a huge amount
of appeal. At that time the
conversion rate of the pound
to dollar was quite good. We
arrived in Christchurch in 2004,
we were out to Selwyn just over
three years later. And you can’t
ignore the scenery, just how
beautiful this place is to live.
My girls were 4 and 6, so it was
just the perfect opportunity
really. We left our life behind
in England. It was time to live a
little bit of the rural dream really.
What was your career path
here?
I trained and worked as a
primary school teacher, then
became a Canterbury SPCA
education manager, before going
down the route of being a funeral
celebrant. My first ceremony was
2019 in a garden. It was the most
beautiful celebration of life, and
literally from doing that first one
I just knew that was something I
really wanted to do. I was going
to just do funerals, but doing
the course work weddings just
suddenly found an appeal for
me. It ended up being a dual role
really. Often wedding celebrants
become funeral celebrants, but
it doesn’t often happen the other
way around.
You are also a zoo educator at
Orana Park?
Yes. I did my celebrant
training and then suddenly one
of my daughters said they are
after teachers at Orana Wildlife
Park. It’s one of those jobs I
could not resist, I’ve been an
animal loon for a long, long
time.

50 YEARS OF
SERVICE: Ross Hutton
(far left) received his
own beer, ‘Grumpy’s
beer’, from Hororata
chief fire officer
Bruce Sayer. He
also received a gold
helmet from deputy
chief Michael Groters,
as well as the official
double gold star
award. PHOTOS:
JACKSON MEDIA
‘Grumpy’ honoured with own beer
• By Daniel Alvey
WHEN ROSS Hutton joined the
Hororata Volunteer Fire Brigade
in 1967, Keith Holyoake was
prime minister and schools had
just started teaching the decimal
currency system.
Now 56 years later, Ross, 79,
is still serving the same community
– and plans to for some
time yet.
Ross’s commitment to the brigade
was recently celebrated with
a double gold star presentation
for 50 years of service (taking
into account a few breaks).
“There have been many callouts
in that time, my first callout
was the Coalgate pub that burnt
to the ground,” Ross said.
Wife Diane recalled him
driving a bulldozer at the
200-hectare Burgess plantation
fire, near Dunsandel, in the
1980s – and not coming home
for a week.
For a decade, Ross also served
as chief of the brigade.
While almost all of his time
has been with the Hororata
brigade, on his holidays he
volunteers for the Luggate
Volunteer Fire Brigade, near
Wānaka.
Hororata chief fire officer
Bruce Sayer recalled his first
memories of Ross.
“He looked grumpy all the
time . . . he scared the shit out of
me,” Sayer joked.
But Sayer soon came to find
Ross had a humorous side, and
was a good mentor for young
recruits.
“When I became chief I saw a
different side of Ross.
“What I see now in Ross is that
he takes the younger recruits
under his wing.”
Also in attendance at
the ceremony was Fire and
Emergency NZ national
commander Russell Wood.
“Fifty years is a significant
milestone,” said Wood.
“We know our people give
their time, skill and passion to
serve their community.”
Along with the double gold
star award, the brigade also got
Ross a gold helmet and his own
beer, ‘Grumpy’s Beer’ – a beer
can with a photo of Ross and the
double gold star on it.

Bid for practical driving tests in district
THERE IS strong community
support for a practical driving
test service to be set up in
Selwyn.
Currently, learner drivers
looking to get their licence can
only get a theory test in the district.
They have to either travel
to Ashburton or Christchurch
to sit the practical test for their
restricted and full licenses.
Leading that charge is Darfield’s
Vaughan Smart, who as
part of his Students Against
Drink Driving (SADD) national
leader project he started last year
has researched the issue.
He bought his draft submission
that he’s sending to the
Waka Kotahai NZ Transport
Agency to the district council
and received support from councillors.
“As the district continues to
grow it is an issue that needs addressing,”
Smart said.
From the community feedback,
Smart said Selwyn learners
were facing extra fuel costs,
logistical issues driving into the
city for a test with learner drivers
having to be accompanied
by a fully licensed driver, and
confidence issues being tested on
unfamiliar roads.
The main reason the district
does not have a testing centre
is there is no VTNZ, which
currently does all practical tests
nationwide.
Smart said a way around
there being no VTNZ would be
to have a VTNZ testing officer
based at the Rolleston AA office.
The district council decided
it would send a letter to Waka
Kotahi in support of his submission.
Smart was hopeful the extra
support from the district council
would encourage action from
Waka Kotahi rather than just
saying “It’s a good idea.”
A Waka Kotahi spokesperson
said they are supportive of the
idea.
“He has made a good case for
a practical driver testing site
in Selwyn, a fast-growing area
with many young people and a
proliferation of schools in recent
years.
“We were impressed at how he
has used the guidelines and aims
under Road to Zero to support
his case,” the spokesperson said
Waka Kotahi is yet to commit
to the idea.
DRIVING: Vaughan Smart is
calling for practical driving
tests in Selwyn ​
Make dog parks good for small pooches
I SEE that it is dog
registration time again.
As a former dog owner, I
am very keen to once again
get myself a little dog.
I see that in the article in
the Selwyn Times it states
that the fees contribute to
dog park maintenance,
so I wonder if the head of
regulatory Sue Atherton
could see that a portion of
those fees are allocated to
having both the Rolleston
and Leeston dog parks,
which I would visit, both
having areas for small dogs
only, as is the case in the new
Prebbleton dog park.
This would make my
decision to get a new dog so
much easier.
– R Abernathy
Chlorination
I think it is an absolute
sacrilege that our beautiful
water in Lincoln has been
contaminated with chlorine.
Such a huge waste of
money to do something so
unnecessary.
Our Lincoln water was up
there with the best in the
world, so why ruin something
that wasn’t broken?
I used to enjoy a relaxing
bath, but that is now like
being in a public pool and
even the bubble bath doesn’t
disguise the smell of the
disgusting chlorine. And as
for the taste for goodness’
sake, get rid of the chlorine
and give us our gorgeous,
natural water back.

Invention bags couple $10,000 prize
• By Daniel Alvey
A HUSBAND and wife who
invented a solution to their malt
business headaches took out the
grand prize at an agriculture
technology competition.
Doug and Gabi Michael own
and operate Gladfield Malt, a
202ha farm near Dunsandel.
They grow six different grain
varieties and produce more than
50 types of malted grains for
the domestic and international
market.
They are the brains behind
the Gladfield pallet consolidator,
which beat out 10 finalists to win
the $10,000 top prize at the Food,
Fibre and Agritech Challenge.
The invention provides an
automated solution to optimise
how dry goods are stacked on a
pallet efficiently and using less
pallet wrap resulting in better
stability, storage capacity and
less chance of waste.
Doug said before the Covid
pandemic they would stack
the pallets by hand, a timeconsuming
process.
Then staff shortages forced
them to rethink the method.
They purchased a robot palletiser
but found it was unable to stack
the bags efficiently.
“It stacks bags onto a pellet
automatically, but that’s all it
does,” Doug said.
“The robot will pick up a
perfectly presented bag but,
by the time it drops it onto the
pallet, that bag loses its integrity
and assumes whatever shape it
feels like.
“Pallets were falling over,
we were using far too much
pallet wrap and we couldn’t get
enough product into a shipping
container.
“So we decided to build and
invent the Gladfield pallet
consolidator – GPC.”
The robot stacks the bags
onto a vibrating box and uses
liquefaction-like movements to
organise the bags into a more
stable and more efficient stack.
“The GPC consolidates the
product on the pallet by up to
15 per cent. The GPC increases

the utilisation of warehouse
space, reduces the need for pallet
wrap, reduces shipping costs and
improves the stability and safety
of a pallet,” Doug said.
He said the invention is a
world first, can fit into any
existing palletiser line and has
patents in Australia and New
Zealand.
Doug and Gabi have estimated
the invention could earn them
$85 million in New Zealand,
$650 million in Australia and
$29 billion across the world.
The challenge was organised
by ChristchurchNZ and
Canterbury University’s centre
for entrepreneurship and
supported by B.Linc Innovation,
Agnition Ventures, KiwiNet and
Smart Christchurch.
Centre for entrepreneurship
director Gerard Quinn said
Gladfield showed what an

undertake at the grassroots
development level.

Plan to open roller skating rink
• By Susan Sandys
BROADFIELD roller skater
Alana Caunter plans to establish
an indoor rink as the sport
grows in popularity.
The 27-year-old former roller
skating champion is scouting
out commercial warehouses
for lease along the fringes of
Christchurch.
She was pursuing the project
by herself as a business venture.
She was hoping to secure investors
and open the facility within
five years.
Caunter said the last rink in
Canterbury closed more than
10 years ago. But roller skating
is now increasing in popularity,
with recent appearances
in popular culture, such as the
movie Barbie, performances
by singer Usher, and a music
Alana Caunter
video by Pink, raising its profile
among young people.
In February, Caunter established
the Waitaha Artistic
Roller Skating Club, which has
grown rapidly from two to 13
members aged between nine and
18. She coaches young skaters
at the club’s weekly training sessions
at the Lincoln Event Centre
and Avon Hub Richmond.
Caunter said leasing a commercial
warehouse could cost
more than $200,000 a year. This
would be paid for by individual
clubs subleasing the facility,
as well as from events such as
discos and public sessions.
She expected it would also cost
up to $200,000 to fit the building
out as a roller skating rink, and
would be seeking investors.
The club is focussed on the
upcoming nationals.
Caunter said members Sam
Hayes and Emma Fawthorpe,
both 18, will head of to compete
at the national championships in
Auckland next Tuesday.
Caunter said the younger
members look up to the pair
who are both studying at Canterbury
University.
Boys’ Brigade milestone
Boys’ Brigade Lincoln leaders (from left) Grant Taylor, Regan Morris, McKenzie Seaton-
Payne, Alistair Morris, Ryan Sumner, Brett Robinson and Bryn Robinson marked the
140th anniversary of BB New Zealand in Christchurch. Founded by Sir William Smith in
Scotland in 1883, the brigade was introduced to New Zealand three years later. It provides
weekly adventures and challenges through the ICONZ programme. Alistair Morris said
the Lincoln brigade has seen a resurgence and now has 25 members aged seven to
18. He said the anniversary was the latest event in what was turning out to be a busy
year. Lincoln members attended a weekend camp at Waipara and now two of its senior
members – Seaton-Payne and Josia Anderson – are gearing up for the national leadership
development course at Lake Rotoiti next month. The brigade meet on Wednesdays at the
Lincoln Baptist Church. For more information, contact Morris on 021 390 084.
“They are definitely great role
models to have around,” she
said.
Caunter herself competed in
the sport until she was 18. She
represented New Zealand at the
Oceania championships in 2010
and 2011.
Artistic roller skating has
disciplines similar to ice figure
skating, with moves in time to
music.
“It’s a very creative sport. You
have lots of different areas of
skating, you can pick what you
like, and then you can take it as
seriously or not as seriously as
you like,” she said.

CHOLMONDELEY
Children’s Centre has received
a donation of more than 200
pairs of brand-new winter
pyjamas and multiple pairs of
slippers, for a second year in
a row.
The Governors Bay charity
has been operating for 98
years and provides temporary
emergency and respite care for
children in need.
Donated by the Kindness
Collective Foundation,
the pyjamas and slippers
“take a massive weight
off our overhead costs,”
Cholmondeley practice
manager Lisa Hurry said.
“We are an organisation
that’s 80 per cent funded by
the community.”
Hurry said the donation
was part of a Kindness
Collective initiative, which
runs annually.
The collective is a
nationwide charity that
provides children and their
families with the items they
need, like pyjamas and
slippers.
“Every year they have a
pyjama drive,” Hurry
said.
Community groups donate
the pyjamas to the collective,
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
which then distributes them.
Over the past three years,
the collective has distributed
more than 25,000 pairs of
warm winter pyjamas to
children in need.
Hurry said a portion of the
pyjamas and slippers would
stay at Cholmondeley for
children when they come
for temporary stays. The
remainder would go back with
children to their families, for
them to keep.
“When children come
and stay with us, we provide
everything they need to stay,”
Hurry said.
“A lot of these children
might not have pyjamas.”
Hurry said Cholmondeley
currently supports about 350
children and their families,
and over 30,000 children
have come through the
centre during its 98 years of
operation.

New complex marks centenary
for funeral directors
The 100th anniversary of funeral
directors Lamb & Hayward is not
only being proudly celebrated by this
Canterbury owned and operated funeral
company but has also been marked with
the opening in April of the company’s
new Halswell facility.
Located on the corner of Halswell
Junction and Wigram roads, Oaklands
offers a 200-seat chapel, with extra
space for another 100-plus people, and
the Centennial Lounge where family
and friends can gather for refreshments
after the funeral service.
Views of the Port Hills from the
chapel and of the Southern Alps from
the Centennial Lounge bring a special
Christchurch character to Oaklands,
while creating a peaceful environment
for those attending services there.
Lead funeral director Liz Mills says
she and her fellow funeral directors,
Julie Harrington and Cara Hall, are
thrilled that Lamb & Hayward is now
offering services for families in the
south-west of Christchurch.
“We are all local, so we are familiar
with the community, and we are very
happy to be here for the local people,”
Liz says.
“Residents from around the area
have been watching our complex being
built, so it’s very pleasing for everyone
to see it completed. It’s one of the first
purpose-built funeral homes to be built
in the city for a long time.”
The Oaklands team, from left, Julie
Harrington, Cara Hall, and Liz Mills.
Lamb and Hayward’s new
purpose-built Halswell facility.
The two-hectare site not only provides
parking for 175 vehicles, it also features
beautiful landscaping and planting.
“Lamb & Hayward is well-known for
the beauty of its grounds, and Oaklands
is following in the tradition, with daily
landscaping,” Liz says, adding, “The new
plantings are already attracting bird life,
too.”
Providing a peaceful, calming
environment, the grounds also include
the Waka Trail, which is a continuation
of the Longhurst Trail.
“Since we opened, Oaklands has
already hosted several funerals,
and the feedback has been lovely,
with people commenting on the
community feel, and describing it as a
green oasis,” Liz says.
She and her team invite people to call
in to have a look around and ask any
questions they may have about funeral
services.
“We want people to feel it’s their
place, a familiar space, so when they
need to call on our services for family or
friends, they will feel comfortable here.
That’s very important to us.”
Oaklands is located at 500 Wigram

Council confirms plan
for the year
The Council has adopted its Annual Plan for the next 12 months, keeping the
average rates increase across the district at 5.9%.
The Annual Plan confirms what services and projects the Council intends to deliver
in the new financial year, what they will cost and how they will be funded.
A focus on savings without compromising services and facilities used by the
community has helped the Council keep the rates rises well below the rate of
inflation while still delivering for the community. Mayor Sam Broughton says that
this plan covers the third year of our Long-Term Plan and delivers what we said
we would.
The Council is planning to spend just over $177 million, keeping the services we
know communities need and want; with a focus on water, transport and community
facilities. At the same time, the Council is committing to investing $184.5 million
in infrastructure to deliver on the needs for Selwyn’s growth, which is expected to
continue. This investment includes $27.9 million in water supply projects, $55.8
million in wastewater projects and $56.2 million in transportation projects across
our district.
The work programme delivers on the community’s expectations, Mayor Sam
Broughton says.
“We’ve checked in with our community and confirmed that we’re on the right track
with the projects that matter most to them during this time when all of us are
feeling the pressure of rising costs.”
A total of 113 submissions were received during the engagement period, and 17
submitters presented in public hearings. A few minor adjustments have been made
following the feedback, including $480,000 extra spending on pedestrian and road
safety, and delivering important community infrastructure.
The average rate increase is 5.9% from 1 July 2023. Actual rate changes will vary
for individual households depending on the mix of targeted rates households pay,
and services provided.
For more information read the Annual Plan at selwyn.govt.nz/annualplan.
Reflections on a decade of leadership
A decade of leadership was farewelled last week as David Ward retired on
Friday after 10 years as the Council’s Chief Executive.
Mr Ward reflected on the changes over his 50 years in the workforce and
32 years in various roles across local government. In his time at Selwyn, the
population of the district doubled and legislative changes had significantly
increased the workload on the Council.
He was proud though, he said, of the work the Council had done to build the
community, noting achievements such as new facilities at Dunsandel, Tai
Tapu, West Melton, Weedons, the Toka Hāpai Selwyn Health Hub, Selwyn
Sports Centre, Te Ara Ātea, Foster Park, Kakaha Park and the expanded
Selwyn Aquatic Centre.
He was also proud of the strengthened relationships with mana whenua
especially the relationship agreement with Te Taumutu Rūnanga; and the
Council’s AA+ credit rating for the last four years.
“People ask me about the highlights in the time I have been with Council.
They are not about me — they are about all the people at the Council and
the collaborative response that our incredible organisation has made to
the demands of growth, acknowledging changing land use, technology,
legislation, demographics and community expectations.
It has been a privilege to help lead this organisation to support my
community. I leave it in good hands and I look forward to seeing its ongoing
work as I continue to be a ratepayer and resident of Selwyn.”
Mayor Sam Broughton says David can look back with great satisfaction on a
job, very well done for our community.
“We acknowledge David has left a strong legacy here at the Council as a
leader and mentor. We wish him all the best.”
He will be replaced by incoming Chief Executive Sharon Mason; former Chief
Executive for Buller District Council and CEO of Clutha Health First.

Matariki growing our kai and community
Each year, the Council focuses its Matariki or Māori new year celebrations on
one of the nine stars in the Matariki star cluster.
This year we celebrate Tupuārangi who is connected with everything that
grows up in our trees and forests such as birds, berries, and other fruits of
the forest.
These celebrations of food and growth will include a Dinners of Selwyn
community dinner at the West Melton Community and Recreation Centre on
17 July where everyone brings a dish to share with each other, to celebrate the
diversity of our district while enjoying great food. Guests are invited to share
their favourite recipe featuring fruit and/or berries.
Then from 20–23 July the community gardens in Lincoln, Rolleston and
Kirwee will be holding open days to share what they do, how you can be
involved and how to prepare your garden for the upcoming growing season.
For a full list of Selwyn Matariki events visit selwyn.govt.nz/matariki or pick
up a copy of our What’s On in Selwyn guide from the Council offices or any of
the Selwyn Libraries.

LINCOLN WATER METER RENEWALS
On behalf of the Council, CORDE is updating approximately 400 water meters in Lincoln over the
next six weeks.
These are meters installed in 2007/8 that have reached the end of their useful life or in areas
where we’ve had meter failures.
The water meter renewal at each property should only take a few minutes, but will require short
interruptions to the supply to each property affected. CORDE will not need to enter your home as
the meter and toby is located at the boundary with the road reserve. The team plan to start work in
the Allendale Lane area before heading counter clockwise around the area with pre-2008 meters,

Changes worthy for Southbridge
• By Jaime Cunningham
SOUTHBRIDGE’S decision
to make changes to the way
they play a month ago seems to
have paid off as the perennial
Coleman Shield contenders
continue to build momentum
ahead of the playoffs.
Being more clear on attack
and using personnel better has
been the cornerstone of the side’s
strategy.
Arguably the most successful
Ellesmere team of the last
decade, Southbridge held off a
Lincoln-Rolleston second half
fight-back to win their third
match of the last four, 31-20, on
Saturday.
Southbridge co-coach Reece
Allan said Lincoln-Rolleston
were far better than when the
two teams last played a month
ago.
“They were a different side
from when we put 70-odd on
them,” he said of the game
where Southbridge beat Lincoln-
Rolleston 76-12.
“But we got our five points
relatively early. It was good to
get the win to put us back in the
competition.”
With two rounds in the
Ellesmere competition
remaining, Southbridge can
secure a semi-final spot with a
bonus-point win over Hornby on
Saturday – relying on Waihora
and Prebbleton to continue their
winning streaks.
Southbridge fell to eventual
champions Darfield in last year’s
semi-finals, 36-27, following
their dream three-year run
where they claimed the Coleman
Shield in 2019, 2020 and 2021.
Although Southbridge
narrowly went down to pacesetters
Prebbleton 18-13 two
weeks ago, the team has seen
a lot of success since making
changes in their play last month.
“In the combined competition,
we were searching to fill those
little gaps,” Allan said.
“We’re always looking to play
better, so we made a change a
month ago.
“Now, we’re a lot more clear on
CLASH: Southbridge centre John McKeefry attempts to step around Lincoln-Rolleston
lock Lachlan Gilbert.
PHOTOS: GILL HAPPER
what we’re doing, which was the
piece that was missing. In our
new form of playing, we use our
personnel well and are direct
in our play.”
Allan believes a settled lineup
for each game and efforts by the
coaching staff to keep the team
energised off the field have also
paid dividends.
“It’s just the fine-tuning of the
minor details.”
Southbridge will host Hornby
on Saturday, who come off a
less-than-convincing loss to table
leaders Waihora, 59-12. The Red
Devils are yet to record a win
against an Ellesmere team this
year, and sit eighth with a single
point on the standings.
Following their dominant
win, Waihora have secured a
semi-final spot. However, they
will look to win their remaining
two games convincingly to finish
ahead of Prebbleton at the top of
the table.
The Magpies face Coleman
Shield holders Darfield on
Saturday. Darfield managed a
hard-fought 29-23 win over West
Melton to keep their semi-final
hopes alive.
West Melton will have the
challenge of facing the in-form
Prebbleton, who sealed a playoffs
spot with a 38-10 win against
Springston last week.
Meanwhile, Lincoln-Rolleston
host Springston at Lincoln
Domain. Both teams will be
searching for their first wins in
over a month.
Weekend results:
Darfield 29, West
Melton 23; Southbridge
31, Lincoln-Rolleston 20;
Waihora 59, Hornby 13;
Prebbleton 38, Springston
10.

Fitting win in inaugural trophy match
• By Jaime Cunningham
THE ANNUAL clash between
Lincoln and Southbridge’s
division 2 sides had more
meaning than usual this year,
with a special prize on the line
for the first time.
The Jamie Wheeler Memorial
Trophy was contested between
the two teams on Saturday, in
memory of former Lincoln player
Jamie Wheeler.
Fittingly, Lincoln came away
with the trophy on Saturday,
beating Southbridge comfortably
47-21.
Wheeler died in a singlevehicle
crash in Glenavy in May
last year. He had recently moved
to the Waimate district, but had
been a loyal member of Lincoln’s
division 2 side for a number of
years.
Club president Corran Pywell
told the Otago Daily Times that
the club was “devastated” by the
news of Wheeler’s death at the
time.
“Speaking to quite a few of
the players, they said he was one
of the best, most humble men
around and (you’d) have a lot of
fun with him,” Pywell said.
VICTORY: Lincoln won the Jamie Wheeler Memorial Trophy, beating Southbridge 47-
21 on Saturday. Right – Wheeler had been a loyal member of Lincoln’s division 2 side.

Defending champs extend winning run
• By Jaime Cunningham
BURNHAM A notched up their
eighth win in a row to remain
unbeaten as premier netball
nears the halfway point of the
second round.
The defending champions
headed into the school holiday
break with their perfect record
intact after a 58-33 win over
Halswell Rugby League A last
week, despite a strong first half
performance from the young
Halswell side.
Burnham narrowly led 26-23
at halftime, but the injection
of Olivia Clark at goal shoot
helped them dominate the
second period 32-10. Clark shot
a goal a minute and finished
with 24 from 27 attempts at an
impressive 89 per cent.
Halswell, who play their next
game on July 20, managed just 16
attempts at goal throughout the
entire second period, exactly half
of what Burnham scored in the
same time.
Greenpark A toppled Malvern
A 59-33 to record their third
win of the round. Greenpark
goal shoot Hannah Wilson
maintained a perfect shooting
record for majority of the game
and finished with an outstanding
52 goals from 53 attempts.
Malvern were never able
to claw back the deficit but
managed to shoot a solid 84
per cent. In an attacking game
between Greenpark B and
Broadfield A neither team were
able to net more than 72 per cent
of their attempts. Although they
struggled to convert, Greenpark
B won 46-27 – largely due to
their 68 attempts at goal.
Lincoln A continued their
solid season with a 48-39 win
over West Melton A to move into
fourth on the standings.
West Melton managed to end
the game on a high with an 11-11
last quarter.
However, Lincoln A ultimately
had too much possession in the
first three periods. West Melton
struggled to get the ball to their
shooters, putting up 20 fewer
attempts than Lincoln.
While they are still in
contention for the semi-finals,
West Melton need a win on July
20 to edge closer to the top four.
Selwyn netball takes a break
over the school holidays with the
Saturday competition returning
on July 15 and the premier
games on July 20.
The remainder of the
second round draw is expected
to be released within the next
week.

Rolleston break into SuperNet grade
• By Jaime Cunningham
FOR THE first time in the
school’s history, Rolleston
College’s senior A netball team
will compete in the SuperNet
Reserve grade.
After finishing at the top of
A grade’s division 1, Rolleston
gained promotion with a 35-26
win over Burnside High last
week.
SuperNet Reserve feeds into
the SuperNet grade, which the
top eight Canterbury girls’ A
teams compete in.
Rolleston head coach Denise
Keno said the team were nervous
and “a bit hesitant” against
Burnside, but still managed to
come away with a comfortable
win.
Although Burnside were
more accurate in their shooting,
Rolleston managed to put up 49
attempts compared to Burnside’s
36.
“They have won all their games
(this season), except one on a
Wednesday, which is very exciting
for such a young team,” Keno
said.
Rolleston have just two year
13 students in the team, with the
majority of players in year 11 or
12 and one in year 10.
The side also play in Selwyn
Netball Centre’s premier 2
competition each Saturday under
Burnham, which Keno believes
has helped them “gel” as a team.
“They are all keen to learn, fit,
train hard and all get along really
well. I’m excited to see what they
can achieve at the South Island
secondary schools (tournament)
this year.”
From July 19, Rolleston
will compete in a three-game
SuperNet Reserve round robin
before the semi-finals and
playoffs take place.
If the team finish inside the
top three, Rolleston will have

Comeback
spoils Lincoln
lead in first
XI football
• By Jaime Cunningham
IT WAS a case of would’ve,
could’ve and should’ve when
Lincoln High’s first XI blew a 2-1
halftime lead against Connetics
schools premier competition
leaders Shirley Boys’ High.
Lincoln were kept scoreless in
the second half by the unbeaten
Shirley side, who came back to
score four unanswered goals and
claim a 5-2 win last week.
There were moments of brilliance
from the Lincoln side, but
Shirley’s energy and momentum
in the second half was unstoppable.
Finlay Cotton scored Lincoln’s
first goal from a penalty before
Isaak McTurk found the net with a
rebound shot late in the first half.
Due to the school holidays
Lincoln’s next game is on July 19.
They could climb into the top four
with a win over Cashmere High,
who are one point above sixthplaced
Lincoln.
In the girls’ competition,
Lincoln managed a 1-1 draw
against second-placed Cashmere
High. With five wins already in
the bag this season, Lincoln are in
third going into the last round.
They play table leaders St
Andrew’s College on July 26 with
the Challenge Shield up for grabs.
• By Jaime Cunningham
IT WAS a tough return to
Lincoln High for Selwyn
Schools, who suffered their sixth
consecutive loss, this time to
Marlborough Boys’ College 24-12
on Saturday.
In their first home game at
Lincoln High this season, Selwyn
were unable to gain momentum
throughout the 70 minutes. The
team are yet to back up their
first round win over St Andrew’s
College on May 13 and currently
sit ninth on the Miles Toyota
Premiership standings.
However, it was a special day
for prop Louis Ridgen, who
started at loosehead in his cap
game for the team.
Selwyn will return to Lincoln
High when they take on St Bede’s
College on July 15 following the
school holiday break.
Last year’s beaten finalists
sit fifth after a 20-10 loss to
Christchurch Boys’ High on
Saturday.
It will be Selwyn’s final home
game in the round robin stages
before they travel to Timaru for
their last match of the regular
season against Timaru Boys’

‘Not our
weekend’
says driver
• By Daniel Alvey
DESPITE A promising start to
the weekend, motor racing driver
Jacob Douglas has not had the
results he would have wanted.
The Lincoln driver was back on
track at the Mid Ohio Sports Car
Course in the United States for the
next round of the USF2000 series.
Douglas (right)
finished 6th and
3rd in Friday’s
practice, but only
managed a best
of 6th place in the
weekend’s three
races.
In race one he had a DNF after
crashing while passing Elliot
Cox and colliding with the back
of Pabst racing teammate Max
Garcia.
In race three he finished 15th,
two laps down on the leader, following
a mechanical failure.
“Not our weekend,” Douglas
said on social media.
Douglas is now 11th in the
championship standings.
This marked the second
weekend with Pabst Racing after
a mid-season team switch last
month to the championship-winning
team.
Douglas now has his eyes on the
next round for the street race in
Toronto on July 14 -16.

Matariki: think stars? Think kūmara
• By Isabelle Teresa
The imagery of Matariki is stars, yet
Matariki is also grounded in the rituals
of harvest, and the humble kῡmara has a
starring role.
Polynesian ancestors of Māori acquired
kῡmara when visiting South America.
They took it home then on to New
Zealand, in the 14th century. One of
their first priorities here must have been
to quickly clear and prepare the land for
their precious cargo.
In Polynesia, kūmara grew all year
round. Māori soon learnt that in the
colder climate of Aotearoa, kūmara
had to be propagated from tubers not
shoots, would not grow south of Banks
Peninsula, and would not grow in winter
at all, so had to be stored.
The Matariki cluster sets the timings for
each of these processes.
When the cluster disappears from view
in April/autumn, kῡmara is harvested
into the storehouses and next season’s
seed tubers set aside. When Matariki
rises again – next week – there is a
deeply meaningful ritual and harvest
celebration. If the rising stars are clear
and bright, the new season’s crops will
be planted out in September. If they are
hazy and close together, a cold winter
is expected, so planting waits until
October.
Four of the stars represent the different
realms – earth, sky, fresh water, and coast
and ocean – so each is also analysed.
At the Matariki pre-dawn ritual of
Whāngai i te Hautapu (offering food
to the stars), people gather to view the
rising. The names of loved ones who
had passed in that year are called, and
the mourning and tears release them to
become stars. The hangi is then opened,
with food from the four realms – earth,
of course, represented by kῡmara. The
steam rises to the heavens to nourish
the new cold, weak stars. Then the very
down-to-earth New Year’s feasting and
celebrations begin.
Kῡmara is a taonga (treasure) for
Māori, that enabled survival, health,
trade, and embedding of whānau and iwi
connection and tikanga (practices). It
stars in nearly 40 whakataukī (proverbs).
A perfect way for people of all cultures
to honour Matariki is to cook and enjoy
some kῡmara. It’s very relevant that no
kiwi calls it sweet potato! The fact that
we all use its te reo name proves its place
in this country’s history and hearts.
Unlike today’s larger varieties,
Polynesian kῡmara was yellow
and finger-shaped.

Forecast: Bureaucratic
clouds to clear
• By Isabelle Teresa
Yes, there’s been another change in
government requirements, but this
time the change is for the policymakers
themselves. The Plain Language Act
went live in April 2023, “to improve the
accessibility of certain documents that…
public service agencies and Crown
agents make available to the public, by
providing for those documents to use
language that is—
a) appropriate to the intended
audience; and
b) clear, concise, and well organised.”
Now it could be said that farmers
know a thing or two about plain
language. Especially when it comes to
battling through laws and regulations
… bureaucracy can certainly be a fourletter
word. But now, we are all entitled
to expect that new documents, policies
and websites created by government
departments and agencies, giving
essential information to the public, are
written clearly. And that existing key
materials are substantially revised as they
come up for renewal.
The Bill was put forward by Nelson’s
Labour MP Rachel Boyack. Incredibly
for NZ legislation, it is only seven pages
long, and of course easy to read. It
was one of the Members’ bills
selected through the truly
bizarre practice
of the
Parliamentary biscuit tin – where bills
from MPs who are not ministers are
drawn in a lucky dip literally out of a
1990s Deka biscuit tin!
While endorsed by the Māori
and Green parties,
National
strongly opposed it, stating that they
support plain language but did not
believe it should be a legal requirement.
Plain English movements originated
in the 1970s, especially in the UK,
US and Canada, positioning clear
communication as a basic democratic
right. While appreciated by all readers,
it is also very helpful for minority,
migrant and marginalised
communities.
Ministries had six
months to prepare and
are now meant to have in
place plain language officers,
staff training, style guides and
accessibility guidelines and a
mechanism for public feedback.
While agencies are required
to report annually to Parliament,
one criticism is that there’s no
enforcement – no-one’s going to
get fired! However, it’s a crucial step
forward that we now all have the right
to complain, name and shame. And to
throw in some plain language of our own
while doing so.

NOT ONE to get too
carried away with his own
success, Colin DeFilippi
was typically low key
after a milestone win at
Addington on Sunday.
When Beaudiene Quick
Step got up to narrowly
win the Ox McEwan at
Ryal Bush Transport
Pace, it marked the 300th
training success for the
Broadfield husband and
wife combo of Colin and
Julie DeFilippi.
“Pretty pleased,” was
Colin DeFilippi’s response.
Beaudiene Quick Step
settled back early then
made a three wide move
tracking favourite Don
Juan at the 600 before going
on to win by a head.
“My plan was to go forward
but I got further back
than I thought I would and
it was survival of the fittest,”
Colin DeFilippi told
Harness Unhinged’s Nigel
Armstrong post race.
He bought the horse at
the 2020 NZB Standardbred
sale for $10,000 and
Sunday’s win was his first
in 24 starts.
“I picked him out on
type. He had enough
breeding and no one liked
The Rocknroll Dances
which made him cheap,
which put him in my
bracket. He had good
manners but he’s let me
down on race day to be
honest. I thought he was a
three or four win horse. It
still could come.”

LONG-TIME harness
racing trainer Ken Dixon
was farewelled this week
after losing his battle with
cancer. He was 78.
Responsible for the
development of top class
horses, including Makati
Galahad and Whale Of
A Tale, Dixon (right) was
originally a Winton sheep
farmer and very much a
hobby trainer before he
retired from farming and
moved to Prebbleton about
17 years ago.
Starting out in the
1970s, he had 57 training
successes and drove 27
winners. His last winner
was Sheer Class, driven
by Brent Barclay at
Invercargill in 2017, while
his last success as a driver
was at Gore behind fourrace
winner Taurus Chief
in 1989.
“He was always on the
look out for a nice horse
and he always thought he

since 1999. Their 300 wins
came from 2809 starts.
“We’ve never done a big
team, with 16 about our
limit.”
Before that Colin De-
Filippi had 277 wins on his
own account (1977-99). In
those days he highlighted
the success of Our Mana,
who won 20 races overall
and finished second in the
1984 and 85 New Zealand
Cups behind Camelot and
Borana.
In partnership with Julie
his biggest successes have
been with Kym’s Girl in

was proven wrong,” said
his son Mike.
But on two occasions
he was proven right. Nine
race winner, Whale of a
Tale, was sixth in the 1996
New Zealand Cup won by
Il Vicolo and third in the
Free For All three days
later behind Iraklis and
Brabham.
He also won the Junior
Free For All on New
Zealand Cup day in 1995.
Despite his success, it’s
fair to say Dixon loved a
bargain.

GARDENING 39
Focus on perennials in July
Even in the coldest
months, there are some
vegetables that can be
planted, as Gillian Vine
explains.
WINTER IS when gardeners like
to sit in front of the fire studying
seed catalogues, but when the
weather permits, it is also the
time to get out and plant or sow
some tough vegetables.
Rhubarb
Spring is also the time to sow
rhubarb seed, but a faster way to
get a crop is to buy plants now
and plant them in very rich soil.

Because rhubarb is a perennial,
choose a spot where it can grow
undisturbed for several years,
and be really heavy-handed with
animal manure to ensure long,
thick, tender stalks.
July is a good time to develop
or extend a rhubarb bed as the
plants (crowns) are dormant
during winter. If a new rhubarb
bed is planned, choose a cool
spot with good drainage.
Divide plants every three or
four years.
oN sAle Now!
Asparagus
Asparagus is also a perennial,
so work is needed to establish a
bed of rich soil with some seaweed
added.
Asparagus plants will last for
15 years or longer, the stems getting
better each season.
Like rhubarb, asparagus can be
grown from seed, but two-yearold
plants (crowns) planted over
winter enable a few spears to be
picked the following year.
Established asparagus plants
should be cut close to the
ground.
Artichoke
The third perennial, the globe
artichoke, has fat heads of
overlapping scales opening to a
thistle-like flower.
Offshoots from the base of
globe artichokes are put in the
ground in late winter or spring,
or plants are grown from springsown
seed.
In areas that have heavy frosts,
cover plants with pea straw in
winter.
Jerusalem artichokes are not
related to the globe type nor the
rarely seen Chinese artichoke.
Like potatoes, the tiniest piece
of Jerusalem artichoke tuber
left in the ground will pop up in
spring, so diligence when lifting
the crop avoids a mass of volunteers
next season.
They have nothing to do with
Jerusalem, either, and the word
may be a corruption of the Italian
girasole, meaning sunflower,
as these knobbly root veges are
North American members of the
sunflower tribe, which explains
their height of up to 3m and
the pretty yellow flowers in late
summer.
Very hardy and tolerant of
poor soils, Jerusalem artichoke
tubers are rarely available
from garden centres, so buy a
few good-sized ones from the
supermarket and pop them in a
spare corner. They are harvested
in late autumn when the tops die
down – dig as needed, as they
lose crispness out of the ground
– and are good roasted or in
soup.

Time to trim
fruit trees
PRUNING OF apple and pear
trees can begin when the leaves
turn yellow and continue until
the beginning of August when
the buds start to swell. In general,
pruning is to take out any weak or
spindly growth.
Remove branches that cross and
cut each remaining stem back to
about two-thirds of its length.
There are two main kinds of
branches, the upward-facing
leaders or main branches and
the young shoots or laterals. Any
branches below the leaders should
be removed, particularly any
growing from the base of the
tree.
Fruit is mainly produced on
fruiting spurs, short growths with
clusters of flower buds, so keep
this in mind when pruning.
Do not leave prunings on the
ground as they attract insects
and fungal diseases, and keep the
ground clear around the base of
fruit trees or grow suitable herbs,
such as chives, tansy or comfrey,
to deter pests and diseases.

Eyebrows were raised at the Rangiora
Showgrounds when a duck waddled off
with the top prize.
Chief Judge Ian Selby says the real
question was ‘‘why not a duck’’?
This was the first time the Champion
Bird in Show award has gone to a duck
in the history of the New Zealand
National Poultry Show.
‘‘I only had six birds to judge. They
were the best in their breeds here, and
so I was looking for anything wrong
with them.’’
He says every one of them were good
birds, but Willow, the Silver Appleyard
Duck, was the one with the least
number of faults.
‘‘The duck's body and stance were
good, and it had a great temperament,
so it was worth putting the duck up for
the champion in the show.’’
Willows's temperament extends to
cuddles and kisses, said owner and
breeder Caroline Falkingham of
Darfield.
She says winning was an accident.
‘‘A couple of years ago I put one male
duck, with one female duck, and out
popped a very special Appleyard.’’
Three generations later, Caroline
says her very special Appleyard, has
climbed to the top and somehow beaten
out all the chickens at the show.
‘‘I’m very surprised she won. She has
won at other shows, but to have a duck
come out and win at the national show
is something very amazing.’’
The president of the North
Canterbury Poultry and Pigeon Club,
Gary Donald, says hosting the national
show was a long time coming.
‘‘We applied to hold it four years ago.
‘‘It runs on alternate years between
the North and South Islands, and in
Rangiora we had over 1400 in nine
categories from all over the country
competing.’’
The categories included light and
heavy breeds, fancy bantams, pigeons,
ducks and game fowl.
Serena O’Brien of Twizel has been
exhibiting for 17 years, starting when
she was four.
She loves her bantams and finds
competing a lot of fun. ‘‘It’s my own

financial burden of transporting
cruise ship passengers from
Lyttelton into the central city.
It has led Environment
Canterbury, which operates the
city’s public bus services, to warn
it is likely to cost ratepayers a
minimum of $500,000 more next
cruise ship season with passenger
numbers increasing by 30 per
cent.
The warning comes as the city
council grapples with its planned
general rates rise of 7.88 per
cent, up from the 5.68 per cent
projected in March. It is hoped
cost cutting will get the increase
down to just over 6 per cent when
the rates are set later this month.

PROPERTY OWNERS in the
district will face a 5.9 per cent
rates increase – despite the district
council signing off on nearly
$500,000 in extra spending.
It will mean households will pay
on average an extra $3.36 a week –
or $174.72 a year.
Selwyn’s rates increase is the
lowest of any of its neighbouring
councils.
Each household’s increase may
be smaller or greater, depending
on its location, services and
property value.
District councillors set the
increase after debating several
final additions to the draft
Annual Plan following public
submissions.
The plan will now be
signed-off on June 28, with the
new rates set to be charged from
the end of July.
It comes as Christchurch
City Council ratepayers face
an average rise of 7.9 per cent,
higher than the 5.68 per cent
forecast earlier this year.

Waimakariri District Mayor Dan Gordon is
running for the role of President of Local
Government New Zealand (LGNZ).
He says standing for the role had not been on
his ‘‘horizon’’, but a growing number had
encouraged him to consider standing due to the
‘‘leadership I had taken on Three Waters’’.
LGNZ is the leadership group for local
government and provides advocacy and support
for local councils.
It is the lobby group for local government to
central government and provides professional
development and consultancy services for
councils.
‘‘ In recent years LGNZ has lost its way
especially with regards to Three Waters, this has
been witnessed with a number of councils like
Auckland and Kaipara deciding to leave and a
number of others considering similar action.
‘‘I made the decision to stand as you can either
sit on the side­lines or do something about it. A
key priority for me is to ensure that LGNZ
represents its membership and concentrates on
advocating for councils and their communities,’’
says Mr Gordon.
‘‘My record shows that I am prepared to stand
up for the things that matter.’’
Mr Gordon helped set up Communities 4
Local Democracy, a Three Waters advocacy
group born out of frustration that LGNZ signed
an agreement with the Government affecting
‘‘our ability to engage and shape Three Waters
Reform’’.
‘‘It did this without obtaining a mandate from
members. This must never happen again.’’
‘‘I am a candidate for change. I want to build
strong relationships across the political
spectrum and work hard to re­unite the sector.
LGNZ needs to regain trust and show that we
can make a difference.
‘‘Strong local government and local
democracy are hugely important for the success
of every council and community. We have seen
through Three Waters and other reform
processes recently that the local voice is not
being heard. Local Government needs to work
and lobby for all communities.’’

Volvo’s EV SUV– best of many worlds
MY FIRST evaluation drive was
in 1988. I remember it vividly – it
was a five-cylinder petrol-fuelled
Audi 90 and I picked it up from
the Archibalds showroom, one of
the city’s prestige dealerships.
Nearly 35 years later, my
last evaluation drive was also
presented to me from staff at
Archibalds, not an Audi but a
Volvo– a C40 Recharge – a fully
electric vehicle to be exact. How
times have changed.
The C40 Recharge is a difficult
vehicle to define. It’s most
certainly a crossover wagon, one
that has a coupe-type shape but
tall enough to be a sport utility
vehicle. But its main claim is
that of its propulsion – it has no
petrol engine, put simply it has
a motor over the front axle and
drives through the front wheels
only.
A point to note with the C40’s
driveline and platform is it shares
much componentry with that
of the Polestar 2 – Volvo has a
major interest in the Chinese
company. That will allow buyers
a choice, the prices are similar
at $85,900 (C40 Recharge) and
from $68,990 to $93,900 for the
Polestar 2, yet you can make the
decision of whether a sedan type
body structure or an SUV is right
for you. It is interesting to note
here the C40 Recharge won’t get
you any Government Clean Car
Programme rebate, it’s almost
$6k over the threshold and
there’s no bargaining with that.
Inside, the C40 Recharge has
immediate similarities with
Polestar as well, the large screen
graphics and interface are almost
identical. What’s more, there’s
the Google functions that work
like any computer, it’s easy and
it’s clever. Specification levels on
the Volvo are extensive and, of
course, you get all the clever safety
kit that Volvo has long been
revered for in all of its models.
Volvo has indicated its
intention to produce electric
models only by 2030 and with
Polestar’s input that would
seem quite achievable. The C40
Recharge is the first full EV out
of the blocks and it is a worthy
trendsetter. The driveline is up
to expectation and competes
well with any opposition. Volvo
claims 170kW of power and
330Nm of torque, both outputs
available instantaneously. That’s
where EVs come into their own,
they are dynamic and forceful.
Volvo also claims a 7.4sec
standstill to 100km/h time,
which is punchy and decisive.
TECHNOLOGY: The Volvo C40 is crammed full of kit that
will make for a memorable driving experience.
VOLVO C40 RECHARGE: At best possible usage, it will travel up to 438km on a single
charge.
Of course, if that’s not quick
enough for you, there is a higher
output Ultimate model at
$100,900, which cuts out
that time in 4.7sec but I don’t
know that I’d spend the extra
money just for the extra
performance.
And the C40 Recharge in
entry-level form still gets great
range. Depending on what range
assist function is selected you
can travel up to 438km on a
single charge, there’s a 69kWh
battery system sitting in the
platform of the car, and that is a
lot of capacity. When it’s running
low a 28min fast charge from a
designated port will take capacity
from 10 to 80 per cent. Bear in
mind with most electric vehicles
the manufacturers recommend
80 per cent as being full capacity,
in a bid to increase battery
longevity.
At my home I was surprised
how quickly the batteries
regenerated through domestic
supply, I was never at a point
when I was sweating to get
charge into the vehicle. What’s
more, the cable has good length
at 6m.
On the road the C40 Recharge
drives smoothly and is eerily
quiet. That’s no surprise, but
there’s even a lack of electronic

sound, the whine and whirr of
some EVs completely shut out
through good sound proofing.
Riding on what I consider
to be the world’s best tyres –
Pirelli PZero – the 19in rubber
affords strong steering wheel
feedback and positive corner
turn-in. Powering out of a bend
will test grip levels on the inside
front wheel as the torque surge
kicks in, but I’d have to say the
handling qualities of the C40
Recharge are biased towards
dynamic.
It’s the little out of the box
ideas that I really liked in
the C40 Recharge. One in
particular is the textured map
of Gothenburg that is inlaid into
the dash panel in front of the
passenger seat. If you are ever in
Sweden it is something you could
relate to.
As mentioned, this is my
last motor vehicle evaluation.
Throughout the last 35 years I’ve
been on an incredible journey
(no pun intended), I’ve driven
many thousands of the latest
and greatest models and it’s
been an absolute thrill and an
experience I have never tired of
as I head into retirement from
the publishing industry.
I’ve seen the transition of
cars, station wagons and sports
models to sport utility vehicles,
utes and the introduction of
hybrids and electric vehicles. I’m
in awe of the way technology has
developed over the decades, and
I have the utmost admiration
for the manufacturers and
distributors that are constantly
evolving product to meet
consumer demands.
By way of a thank you, I’d
like to acknowledge all of
the feedback I’ve received;
motoring journalism is obviously
something that is well read,
respected and opinion-dividing.
I hope you’ve enjoyed reading
my columns as much as I have
enjoyed writing them. For those
who have asked me what is the
best vehicle for you, I also hope
I’ve steered you in the right
direction.

Public Notices
Notice of Intention to Take
Land and Leasehold Estate
Prebbleton Intersection
Upgrades Project Stage 2,
Selwyn District
NOTICE is hereby given that Selwyn District Council proposes
to take, under the Public Works Act 1981, the land described
in the First Schedule to this notice (Land) and a leasehold
estate (Lease) in the land described in the Second Schedule
to this notice (Lease Land) on the terms and conditions set
out in the Third Schedule of this notice.
The Land and the Lease are required for construction of the
Prebbleton Intersection Upgrades Project Stage 2 (Project).
More particularly, the Land is required for road and the Lease
is required for the functioning indirectly of a road.
The reasons why Selwyn District Council considers it
essential to take the Land and the Lease is to improve
the safety and efficiency of the local road network by
constructing two roundabouts at the intersections of Shands
Road/ Trents Road and Shands Road/Hamptons Road.
The owner of the Land and the Lease Land and those persons
with a registered interest in it have been served with notice of
Selwyn District Council’s intention to take the Land and the
Lease and advised of their right to object.
Any other person having the right to object may send
a written objection to the Registrar, Environment Court,
Justice & Emergency Services Precinct, 20 Lichfield Street,
Christchurch. Postal address: WX11113 Christchurch; or PO
Box 2069 Christchurch 8013; within 20 working days after

publication of a proclamation taking the Land and the
Lease in the New Zealand Gazette, and terminate on that
date two years thereafter (Term).
3. The registered owner shall be entitled to receive a current
market rent for the Term, such rate to be determined by
a registered valuer and agreed between the parties or
otherwise in accordance with the Public Works Act 1981
at the commencement of the Lease.
4. Selwyn District Council may, on the giving of written
notice to the registered owner, extend the Term for one
further period of one year should the Project not be
completed by the expiry of the original Term. The current
market rent shall be reviewed at the time the registered
owner is given notice of any such extension.
5. Notwithstanding the Term created, Selwyn District Council
may terminate the Lease at any time by giving the
registered owner one month’s notice in writing.
6. Selwyn District Council shall have the right to occupy
the Lease Land for the purpose stated above for the

at all times, with or without such vehicles, machinery or
materials for the purpose set out in the notice.
7. Selwyn District Council may erect and maintain
temporary fencing for the period of construction of the
Project to provide adequate security to the balance of
the property.
8. Selwyn District Council shall at the expiration of the Term,
or any extended period taken in accordance with the
Lease, remove all debris arising from Selwyn District
Council’s occupation under the Lease together with any
temporary fences, construction machinery, hardstands,
and other improvements required to be erected by
Selwyn District Council during the Lease. Selwyn
District Council shall otherwise restore the Lease Land
to a condition generally in keeping with the character of
the Lease Land prior to entry taking into account works
Selwyn District Council was authorised to undertake
under the Lease. Selwyn District Council shall complete
such work in a good and workmanlike manner.
9. Clauses 4, 5, 6, 10, 11 and 12 of Part 2 and clause 13 of
Part 3 of Schedule 3 of the Property Law Act 2007 are

Show homes help when
choosing a builder
Show homes are a great way to gather
ideas with the latest trends in design,
home features and building materials on
display.
If not sure what to build, a plethora of
house designs can be discovered on the
websites of building companies while
visiting their respective show homes
allows you to visualise how given designs
could work for you and to gain a feel for
the space in given rooms.
Building company representatives will
work with you, adapting a favoured plan to
meet your family’s needs then guiding you
through the building process.
Most companies cover the gamut of
builds though each is likely to have a
particular focus. Talk to their people so
you understand where the company sits
on the spectrum, from highly specified
architecturally designed houses to more
economic family homes.
Look at the finish and quality of the
show home and ask where you can see
other homes the company has constructed.
Ascertain whether the features and fittings
in the show home are their standard or
a step up on what is offered in the basic
package.
Some building companies have
designers. Others prefer to work with their
own library of plans, adapting a chosen
one rather than starting from scratch.
Enquire as to whether there is a fee for
any concept drawings, changes to existing
plans or new plans, before getting too far
down the track.
If you cannot find
a plan you like, you
might work with an
architectural draftsperson
or architect. When a plan
is finalised, you can then
invite selected building
companies that specialise
in the type of build you
are seeking, to quote.
Once you have
all the information
together – the design,
cost of building, build
timeframe, and progress
and final payment
timeframe – you are
in a position to select
a building company.
Until you sign on the
dotted line, you are not
committed to a given
company and can walk
away though there may be a charge for any
plans drawn up if you do not proceed.
Remember to compare ‘apples with
apples’. Check that what is quoted is the
same in each case. Changes to fixtures,
fittings and other features can make a
difference to the quoted price with the
variances in quotes being due to disparities
in quality and type of product used.
Before committing to a build, organise
finance based on the features you have
chosen. Remember, each and every
variation will affect the price, usually
upwards. Get this sorted before the build
starts. Most building companies will guide
you through the choice and costing phase.
Once the price is set avoid making
changes to ensure the project keeps within
budget. After all, the last thing you want is
stress over money when moving into your
lovely new home.

Property Market Update
with Harcourts Four Seasons
West Melton
Market Overview
West Melton is made up of a mix
of residential and lifestyle properties,
with the area experiencing significant
population growth over the last ten
years. New subdivisions and housing
developments have taken place,
including the completion of the
Wilfield subdivision offering generous
size sections for a lifestyle option to
residential living. Residents don’t have to
walk far to access the village shops with
retail and hospitality businesses, while
West Melton School caters to children
from years 0–8. Recent improvements
to traffic flow and safety have been
completed with the West Melton Road /
Weedons Ross Road / SH73 intersection
upgrade and the inclusion of street
lighting and a set of traffic lights.
Kartie Harrison
from Harcourts
Four Seasons
Katie Harrison from Harcourts Four
Seasons Realty says, “Within the last
six months, as has been seen across
most of the country, we have seen a
pullback on both residential and lifestyle
in terms of pricing and drop in the
number of properties for sale.” However,
following this recent price adjustment,
West Melton could be seen to be having
very good buying opportunities, and
noticeably with strong demand for
entry-level lifestyle properties under $1.3
million.
Statistics show that residential sales
are down, the number of properties on
the market is less, and compared to this
time last year, the average sale price
is reduced. For residential properties
(excluding sections), this reflects a
decrease of approximately $300,000.
Katie confirms that at this time last
year, the average sale was $1.4 million
compared to $1.114 million now. Bare
section prices also echo this reduction,
and we are seeing more sections on the
market taking longer to sell.
Although fewer properties are on the
market, Katie says that established and
well-presented lifestyle blocks are still
being well received, and there are active
buyers in this market with a shortage of
choices available to them.
Rental properties are few and far
between in West Melton, with listings
in short supply. The average rental for
the past 12 months, as displayed on
realestate.co.nz, is $763 weekly.
West Melton offers good buying opportunities for
entry-level lifestyle properties under $1.3 million.
