• By Daniel Alvey “IT WASN’T me.” That was the short answer this week from the man who citizen detectives say may know something about the vandalism caused at Addington Cemetery. About 200 metres of lawn was torn up at the cemetery, and nearby residents think it was from a quad bike. Resident Maddie Brett was walking through the cemetery with her husband last Monday when she chanced on a man with a quad bike. She took photos of him as he pushed the broken-down quad bike away, posting them to the Addington Community Facebook page, and filed an online report with the police. From there other residents Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz updated the report with a name and address of who they believe the man was. He lives near the cemetery. Brett has not heard back from the police, and it appears they have not questioned the man with the quad bike. The Star visited his house this week. “Wasn’t me . . . I haven’t owned a quad for years,” he said. He also said police had not spoken to him. Police could not say yesterday if the man had been spoken to by police. “Police will be following all available lines of inquiry relating to the incident which will include any information provided via 105 reports,” a spokesperson told The Star. Thursday July 13 2023 The Star NEWS 3 Quad biker says it wasn’t him in cemetery SOLD: Neville Carter hands over his son Dan Carter’s limited edition Adidas boots to Nairn Electrical co-owner Steve West after the DC10 charity auction. Golden boots score for charity • By Barry Clarke DAN CARTER’S DC10 charity fund will be boosted by about $14,000 after a pair of the All Black legend’s boots, and oneoff Pasikifa day jerseys, were auctioned. The Southbridge Rugby Club hosted the day with the jerseys worn by the division 1 and 2 sides during their respective matches on Saturday. The club has a strong Pacific presence. Carter, the club’s most famous son, donated a pair of his limited edition Adidas boots. They were secured for $9500 by Nairn Electrical, which is based in Leeston and North Canterbury. The jerseys fetched about $5500, which after the costs of running the day and auction came off, would mean a good payday for the charity, Southbridge club manager Chris McMillan said. The DC10 fund is supported by UNICEF and raises money to deliver disaster-resilient water and sanitation projects in the Pacific. Carter, who had been in Japan for the All Blacks XV match at the weekend, was very happy with the auction result, said McMillan. “He was absolutely blown away. He said it was ‘just awesome’.” Carter’s limited edition boots are highly sought after. They have his signature, his cap number (1034), his test appearances (112) and his international record haul of 1598 points on them. The DC10 fund was launched with a 24-hour goal-kicking marathon at Eden Park in April last year. Carter kicked 1598 goals to match his test points as an All Black, helping to raise more than $340,000. Nairn Electrical co-owner Steve West who made the successful bid for the boots said it was a great opportunity to support the wider Pacific community “and contribute to the great work that Dan and the DC10 Fund do”. “We couldn’t be happier that we are helping to support this worthy cause,” he said. West said Nairn Electrical wouldn’t be keeping the boots. The company intends to put them back in an auction so more money goes to the DC10 fund. The company is a long-time sponsor of Southbridge rugby and other clubs in the Selwyn District and North Canterbury. In Brief Board gets new chair The Te Pātaka o Rākaihautū Banks Peninsula Community Board’s new chair Lyn Leslie was elected uncontested at Monday’s meeting. Leslie is the board’s Wairewa Subdivision member. Her election comes after former chair Reuben Davidson stepped down last week. Davidson will exit the board completely before October’s general election when he will stand as the Labour candidate for Christchurch East. Halfway to funding warm water pool A campaign to raise $1.4 million for a warm-water hydrotherapy pool at Matariki Hornby Centre has hit the halfway mark. The Rotary Club of Hornby and the Greater Hornby Residents’ Association have raised $700,000 so far. The Rotary Club made a $100,000 contribution, while the pool received a $300,000 Lotteries Grant and $300,000 from the Rata Foundation. The city council will contribute $2.5 million. Another grant for Christchurch Netball The New Zealand Community Trust has awarded a further $300,000 grant to Christchurch Netball’s new all-weather, multipurpose venue at Ngā Puna Wai. The grant comes on top of $750,000 granted to the centre for wooden sprung flooring in 2021, bringing the total funding from the community trust to $1.5 million.
