Pink the colour of success 

• By Tatiana Gibbs 

PINK WAS the new blue 

for Prebbleton’s division 

one rugby side on Saturday, 

donning a bright pink playing 

strip to commemorate the 

club’s ‘Ladies Day’ – a day 

dedicated to celebrating the 

women involved at the club 

and fundraised $12,191 for 

Breast Cancer Foundation 

NZ. 

And a big bonus to the 

event was the side’s hard 

fought 21-11 win over Southbridge 

– the first time in 15 

years it has beaten them. 

The 22 pink playing tops 

were sponsored and paid for 

by Mike Greer Commercial, 

and were each auctioned off 

online to the highest bidder 

with all the proceeds going 

directly to breast cancer. The 

tops alone raised $8556. 

In a night of celebrations, 

seven senior rugby players 

then auctioned themselves off 

to a room of supporters for 

the winning highest bidder to 

be wined, dined and waited 

on for the remainder of the 

night, which generated a further 

$3635 to the cause. 

Prebbleton ‘club mum’ and 

volunteer ‘super star’ Jolene 

Marunui said the first time 

the club held the fundraiser 

in 2020 was such a success 

raising $7900 they wanted to 

do it again.

Residents 

‘absolutely 

gutted’ over 

Prebbleton 

subdivision 

• By Susan Sandys 

TRENTS RD residents at 

Prebbleton wanting to retain the 

semi-rural nature of their area 

are “absolutely gutted” an 820- 

home subdivision is likely to go 

ahead. 

The size of Prebbleton is set to 

increase substantially as hearing 

Commissioner Tony Hughes- 

Johnson recommends the district 

council accept Plan Change 68, a 

rezoning application from Urban 

Holdings Ltd, Suburban Estates 

Ltd and Cairnbrae Developments 

Ltd. 

It comes as another recently 

approved Prebbleton plan change, 

Plan Change 72 for 290 homes, 

heads to the Environment Court 

after being appealed. 

The PC68 application pertains 

to 68ha between Trents Rd, 

Shands Rd, Hamptons Rd and 

the Sterling Park subdivision. 

Currently it is home to just 13 

properties. 

The proposed subdivision 

would affect three neighbouring 

nurseries – Trents Nursery, Parva 

Plants, and Morgan and Pollard 

Landscapes Ltd.

PROGRESS: Lincoln University’s new flagship science facility is currently under construction and on track for completion in July 2023. (Right): An 

architect’s illustration of the completed building. 

New uni science facility funded and on track 

LINCOLN UNIVERSITY has 

received a further $60 million 

of Crown funding to complete 

the construction of its flagship 

science facility. 

The funding represents the 

bulk of the Crown funding for 

the new building’s construction, 

which is on track for completion 

in July 2023. 

The flagship science facility 

will be a new fit-for-future learning 

and research centre located 

in the north-eastern quarter of 

campus. 

The new building will feature 

state-of-the-art teaching, research 

and collaboration spaces 

complemented by 

multi-use adjustable 

workstations and social 

zones, all set within a 

biodiverse park-like 

environment. 

An expansive 

ground-floor café 

will form a central 

hub where Lincoln 

University staff and 

students will be able to mix and 

mingle with campus visitors and 

employees from the co-located 

Susie 

Roulston 

AgResearch facility, also currently 

under construction. 

In line with the 

university’s sustainable 

infrastructure goals, the 

new building will have a 

minimal environmental 

impact; incorporating roof 

and wall-mounted solar 

arrays, a ground-sourced 

heating/cooling system 

and a rainwater-fed toilet 

flushing system in the design, 

chief operating officer Susie 

Roulston said. 

“Our new flagship science 

facility forms part of a suite of 

infrastructure assets that will 

ultimately deliver a spatially 

optimised campus, with students 

at its heart, where the university 

can provide its world-leading 

teaching and research within an 

ecosystem of social well-being 

and environmental sustainability,” 

she said. 

“The challenges facing today’s 

food and fibre producers are 

manifold and profound, and we 

are proud to deliver this new 

facility where we can further advance 

our commitment to equip 

future generations with the skills 

and knowledge to shape a better 

future.” 

Further campus projects 

including an ambitious and 

extensive decarbonisation 

programme which supports 

the university’s goal to be 

carbon neutral by 2030 and 

to cease the combustion of 

coal by 2024, the restoration 

of Ivey West and Memorial 

Hall and an overarching 

visionary landscaping 

masterplan, are in various 

stages of development.

22 puppies join list of abandoned 


SAVED: Jaz Crowther of the SPCA with Remus and 

Plimpy. 

IT WAS the biggest single 

dumping of animals in at least 10 

years, and one that shocked the 

SPCA. 

Twenty-two small puppies were 

found alongside the Waimakariri 

River, cold and starving. 

It is the second dumping of 

pets in the area in recent weeks, 

following a disabled kunekune 

being left to die on the side of the 

road at West Melton last month, 

which was reported in the Selwyn 

Times last week. 

Christchurch SPCA foster 

and volunteer team leader Jaz 

Crowther said when the call 

came in from a woman saying 

she had found 22 puppies running 

around alongside the river, 

staff could scarcely believe it. 

“Maybe there’s only like five, 

and they are just running really 

fast,” Crowther said when describing 

their thoughts. 

An inspector was, however, 

able to confirm the number, and 

soon the SPCA was on its way 

to the scene. Crowther said the 

woman had been able to gather 

them all up, and SPCA staff 

ended up meeting her on the 

road half way. The precise location 

of the dumping could not be 

confirmed as the finder herself 

had not known exactly where it 

was. 

Crowther said that upon getting 

their canine load back to 

headquarters, staff triaged six 

as needing urgent veterinary 

care. The remaining 16 could go 

straight to quarantine for weighing 

and flea and worm treatment. 

All of the puppies were underweight, 

cold and riddled with 

worms. Apart from the critically 

ill ones at the vet that required 

syringe feeding, the remainder 

“woofed down” their first meal. 

“MIRACLE”: 

Niffler 

is now 

doing well 

following 

emergency 

care and 

lots of love. 

Following tradition, staff set 

out to name the puppies according 

to a theme. They were helped 

along in this regard by a plethora 

of characters in the Harry Potter 

books. 

The puppies’ names are Bellatrix, 

Plimpy, Remus, Gilderoy, 

Niffler, Myrtle, Norbert, Hedwig, 

Fleur, Tonks, Peeves, Hagrid, 

Pygmy Puff, Fang, Dobby, Sybil, 

Nymphadora, Harpy, Pansy,

animals; foster homes sought 

Sadly one of the six that had required 

urgent care, Sirius, could 

not be saved. 

The remaining 21, by now 

dubbed the Potter Puppies, were 

all fostered out between 10 homes 

the following day. 

“We are very lucky that so 

many foster parents put their 

hands up. We are a bit depleted 

now though,” Crowther said. 

The organisation was always on 

the lookout for additional foster 

parents for dogs, and even more 

so now. 

Crowther said it had been a 

“logistical feat” to get all the 

supplies ready to go with each 

puppy as they went to their foster 

homes. 

“I need to find 21 collars and 

leads next.” 

A Potter Puppies play date was 

planned for this week, where the 

21 would be able to run around 

once again together, just like they 

had been doing alongside the 

river that day. Except this time 

they would be much healthier 

and happier. 

Crowther said the puppies had 

been about five to six weeks old 

when found on June 21. They 

would be desexed at the end of 

this month and put up for adoption 

next month. 

It was good to see them thriving 

with plenty of warmth and 

food at their foster homes. Their

Relocation not an option for nursery 

• From page 1 

The nurseries are among 

about 10 neighbouring property 

owners who supported each 

other in their individual 

submissions against PC68. 

The group employed an urban 

planner to be an expert witness 

at the hearing. 

Group 

founder Greg 

Tod, owner 

of Parva 

Plants, said 

he and fellow 

members 

were gutted 

and angry 

Greg Tod 

following 

the commissioner’s 

recommendation, and could not 

understand the decision considering 

their very real concerns. 

“They didn’t listen to the 

people that it affects the most,” 

Tod said. 

Among Parva Plants’ concerns 

was that its Trents Rd frontage 

would become a busy intersection, 

as the spine road through 

the subdivision to Hamptons Rd 

would begin there. This would 

create disruption for customers, 

staff and delivery drivers trying 

to access the nursery. 

“Having that intersection is 

going to cause a real traffic hazard,” 

Tod said. 

David Somerfield of Trents 

Nursery said in his submission 

that the long-standing horticultural 

business employed locals, 

and annually generated revenue 

of about $2 million per hectare 

while contributing about $3 

million to the local economy 

through wages and buying products 

and services. 

Among his main concerns 

was that their new residential 

neighbours would complain 

about the noise of fans and 

heaters and the potential for 

agricultural spray drift from the 

business. 

He and his wife Julie now 

held concerns for the business’s 

longer-term future. Relocation 

was not feasible due to the high 

cost of re-establishment. 

Adam Pollard of Morgan and 

Pollard Landscapes Ltd was also 

concerned about the potential 

for their future neighbours to 

complain about their activities, 

making it impossible in the long 

run for the business to stay there. 

The business, which 

employed 62 permanent staff 

and 10 seasonal staff, operated 

earthmoving and other 

equipment, potentially creating 

noise and dust. Additionally, 

it burned hedge and tree 

trimmings. 

Tod said he had a “glimmer of 

hope” that district councillors 

PLANS: The nurseries are opposed to the proposed PC68 development, pictured in pink. 

would see common sense and 

not adopt the commissioner’s 

recommendation. 

District councillors are to 

consider the recommendation at 

one of their upcoming meetings. 

Tod said previous expansion 

expectations for Prebbleton 

had been on the other side of 

Springs Rd, so he hoped district 

councillors would decline the 

plan change, and not follow the 

path they had taken for another 

controversial plan change 

application, that of PC69 for 1710 

new homes at Lincoln. 

The PC69 application was 

approved by the district council 

and is now subject to appeal, 

with appeals closing August 4. 

Tod said he and fellow submitters 

may appeal the PC68 decision 

if it was approved. 

Meanwhile, the district council’s 

decision to approve PC72, 

made in April, has been appealed 

by a neighbour of the proposed 

development, G M and J Drinnan. 

The Drinnans have concerns 

about stormwater drainage and 

want some of their property to 

be included in the rezoned area. 

The PC72 rezoning application 

was from Trices Road Rezoning 

Group, made up of the existing 

landowners of 28.7ha on 

the southern boundary of 

Prebbleton.

Intersection may not cope with 

extra traffic from development 


tree trouble? 

call us 384 9630 

www.thetreepeople.nz 


A HIGH risk State Highway 1 

intersection at Rolleston may 

not cope with extra traffic 

from thousands of new homes 

planned outside the town’s 

boundary. 

That is the concern of 

Waka Kotahi New Zealand 

Transport Agency, which is 

among submitters opposing 

two rezoning plan change 

applications before the district 

council. 

Carter Group has lodged 

the two applications of Plan 

Change 81 for 28ha and Plan 

Change 82 for 110ha, which 

would together pave the way 

for 1670 new homes if approved. 

Both areas are on Dunns 

Crossing Rd, and flank a block 

of land that is part of the Plan 

Change 73 area, where Carter 

Group is planning 2100 new 

homes. 

PC73 was recently declined 

by the council but the 

company is appealing the 

decision to the Environment 

Court. 

If PC73 was ultimately 

allowed to proceed, and PC81 

and PC82 were approved, 

GROWTH: Thousands of new homes are planned for 

Rolleston. 

this would amount to an 

estimated 3770 new homes 

in subdivisions along Dunns 

Crossing Rd on land currently 

outside of the Rolleston town 

boundary. 

Waka Kotahi team lead 

south environmental planning 

Richard Shaw said, in the 

roading authority’s submission 

to PC82, that the Dunns 

Crossing Rd/Walkers Rd/ 

State Highway One 

intersection had existing safety 

concerns. There had been one 

serious crash and 15 minor/ 

non injury crashes between 

2015 and 2019. 

It was scheduled for an 

upgrade, with a roundabout 

being the preferred option. 

Shaw said while the PC82 

developer had proposed to 

delay occupation of dwellings 

until the upgrade was complete, 

additional traffic from 

new subdivisions generally 

would put pressure on the 

upgraded intersection. 

“There is some concern over 

the capacity of the intersection 

to accommodate the additional 

vehicle movements resulting 

from the development of this

plan change site, in addition to 

the vehicle movements potentially 

generated across other 

proposed plan change sites in 

the wider area,” Shaw said. 

Consideration should be 

given to impacts of plan 

change applications outside of 

town boundaries, Shaw said. 

“Development in these 

areas has not been anticipated 

and accounted for in future 

infrastructure planning.” 

Waka Kotahi was among 

a total of altogether 24 

submitters to PC81 and PC82. 

The next step is for the district 

council to schedule hearings, 

after which the independent 

hearing commissioner for 

each plan change will make 

a recommendation to the 

district council on whether 

it should adopt the plan 

change.

Food rescue group seeks volunteers 


NATIONAL FOOD rescue 

not-for-profit organisation New

for volunteers after moving to

The network was launched 

nationwide in 2020, with 

funding from the Ministry of 

Social Development. 

It sources leftover or unwanted 

fresh and healthy foods, 

including fruit, vegetables and 

protein, in bulk from food 

producers, manufacturers and 

wholesalers nationwide. It then 

packages and distributes these 

to foodbanks and community 

food services. 

The Rolleston warehouse, on 

Jones Rd, is the network’s new 

South Island distribution centre. 

It opened in May after moving 

from its previous location at Hei 

Hei. 

The network hosted its 

first volunteering group 

at the warehouse recently, 

co-ordinating this with 

Volunteering Canterbury during 

National Volunteer Week. 

Representatives from 

Volunteering Canterbury, 

Rolleston Rotary, and the district 

council, alongside Selwyn 

MP Nicola Grigg and district 

councillor Sophie McInnes,

McInnes. 

packaged thousands of apples. 

In just under two hours, they 

packed 2.5 tonnes into 140 boxes 

on five pallets. 

South Island network manager 

Leo Kwon this had been no small 

feat. He said the team had set a 

benchmark for future volunteer 

teams. 

Kwon was looking forward 

to welcoming more groups of 

volunteers in coming weeks. 

He encouraged organisations 

wanting to give back to the 

community to be in touch. 

Volunteering opportunities 

would be available year-round. 

Donating time at the warehouse 

could help with team building 

and corporate responsibility, he 

said. 

“These volunteering 

opportunities will continue 

to highlight our collective 

responsibility towards 

food security and waste 

minimisation,” Kwon said. 

Heather Van Der Kley of 

Rolleston Rotary was one of the 

speedy apple packers. 

Van Der Kley said it was 

great to be able to see food, that 

would otherwise be thrown 

out, utilised. She applauded the 

scheme for redirecting items 

from landfill to where it was 

needed most. 

“It’s good quality produce,” she 

said. 

Volunteering Canterbury 

Selwyn outreach Lizzie Daly 

was also there. She encouraged 

potential volunteers to be in 

touch with the network.

Strong demand 

for village homes 

SUMMERSET’S Prebbleton 

village on Springs Rd is taking 

shape, which will see the 35 

villas in stage one ready to be 

occupied by later this year. 

The two/three bedroom villas 

are priced from $680,000. 

Once finished there will be 

about 300 independent homes 

including a mix of villas, cottages 

and serviced apartments. 

Village sales manager Grace 

Hickland said demand is strong, 

with half of the available villas 

already sold. 

In spite of global supply chain 

issues and economic pressures 

affecting the construction industry 

in general, the village build 

has remained on track . 

“We’re excited by the interest 

in the village,” Hickland said.

Fundraiser testament to family culture at club 


“The amount of emails that we 

received from people who had 

bought jerseys who have lost either 

a mother, sister or an auntie 

to breast cancer, that’s why we 

went ahead again,” she said. 

“We have a senior women’s 

team this year, so what better 

way to celebrate women in the 

club regardless whether you’re 

playing or if you’re like me in 

the background, we don’t know 

if women are out there going 

through this, and this is a way 

that we can support them.” 

Marunuii’s husband, club 

president Jeromy Knowler, said 

his men at the club really get 

behind the cause too. 

“They really understand what 

it’s all about, and they were 

pretty humbled when we heard 

we made eight and a half grand 

off the jerseys,” Knowler said. 

“I’m really proud of the boys 

that are going to get up there tonight

The fundraiser was testament 

to the family culture at Prebbleton, 

such as hosting all senior

“It’s probably something that 

if we tried 10 years ago wouldn’t 

have been much of it, but I 

think because our culture is 

really good the boys just love it,” 

Knowler said. 

Said Marunui: “We’ve always

coach rugby, but we know how 

to wrap our arms around them, 

and sort of nurture them and 

have them feel safe that this is 

their home.”

Accused no 

stranger to 

crime 

MCMEEKAN WAS jailed for 

seven years nine months in 2015 

for his involvement in a drugs 

courier operation. 

Then aged 34, he was sentenced 

on two charges of possession of 

methamphetamine for supply, 

two of unlawful possession of a 

pistol, possession of implements 

for using methamphetamine, 

dealing in methamphetamine, 

and possession of cannabis for 

supply. 

After he had been arrested at a 

motel in Blenheim Rd and bailed, 

he arranged for other people 

to fly to Auckland and uplift 

methamphetamine and bring it to 

his address, Court News website 

reported. 

Two people were stopped by police 

at the Christchurch Airport, 

and found the drugs on a woman. 

When they searched McMeekan’s 

house they found a loaded 

shotgun, and charged him with 

possession of the shotgun, possession 

of methamphetamine, and 

supplying methamphetamine. 

McMeekan also made headlines 

in 2009 when he appeared in 

court with another man for 

what was described as a Dukes 

of Hazzard style raid on a 

Christchurch car yard where 

a car was jumped over the low 

perimeter fence. 

• By David Clarkson 

A TRIBESMEN gang prospect 

has admitted his role in 

shifting millions of dollars of 

methamphetamine around the 

country during Covid lockdown. 

Police seized a shipment worth 

between $2 and $3 million in 

May 2020, and in the High 

Court at Christchurch last week, 

Tamal Edward McMeekan 

admitted possession of the drugs 

for supply. 

The Crown is seeking to seize 

$38,834 in cash the police found 

in a car and at the Bryndwr 

property when they carried out 

their search. 

Justice Rob Osborne remanded 

McMeekan in custody for 

sentencing on October 5, but did 

not enter convictions because 

that would likely stop him attending 

anger management and 

parenting courses in prison. 

Defence counsel Thomas 

Harre said he would seek a 

cultural report and psychiatric 

report on McMeekan ahead of 

sentencing. Justice Osborne has 

asked for a pre-sentence report 

by Community Probation. 

McMeekan, 41, admitted 

charges of meth possession 

for supply, possession of 

cannabis, a breach of the Covid 

lockdown rules in May 2020, 

and failing to assist an officer 

doing a search by denying access 


Guilty plea to meth supply 

to his cellphone. 

Before his guilty pleas, the 

case had been heading for trial. 

Crown prosecutor April Mills 

said the police’s Canterbury 

Organised Crime Unit began 

Operation Soul, which was an 

investigation into drug dealing 

activities by members and associates 

of the Canterbury-based 

Tribesmen Motorcycle gang in 

October 2019. 

The investigation showed the 

Canterbury-based Tribesmen 

and associates were regularly 

involved in the purchase of significant 

quantities of methamphetamine 

from Aucklandbased 

supplies. The meth would 

be distributed to various South 

Island dealers. McMeekan was a 

gang prospect. 

The Crown said that the 

national Covid emergency lockdown 

was declared in March 

2020, and while the country was 

in level 3 lockdown with limits 

on travel, movements and associating 

with others, McMeekan 

arrived in Christchurch from 

Wellington on May 3. He had no 

legal basis allowing the travel. 

The next day, police swooped 

in when McMeekan and another 

man arrived in a car at a Bryndwr 

address. The other man has 

already admitted charges and is 

due for sentence in August. 

At McMeekan’s feet was a 

cardboard box containing three 

plastic bags with almost 3kg of 

methamphetamine with a street 

value of $2 to $3 million. Cash 

totalling $38,834 was found 

in 10 locations throughout the 

house and garage, the car, and 

in a shoulder bag belonging to 

McMeekan. 

The shoulder bag also had 

cannabis inside. 

In the other offender’s bedroom, 

the garage, and a sleepout, 

35 used Prezzy cards worth 

more than $8500 were found. 

They are a non-traceable credit 

card payment form that can be 

used in person, or online. 

McMeekan refused to give a 

detective constable the PIN code 

for his cellphone. He gave no 

explanation for his travel during 

lockdown. 

The Crown said: “The 

investigation established the 

Christchurch Tribesmen gang 

were involved in transporting 

significant sums of money to 

enable the purchase of up to 3kg 

to 4kg of methamphetamine at 

a time. 

“McMeekan was likely utilised 

by the gang due to his expertise 

with motorcycles, ability and 

flexibility to travel domestically 

to facilitate TMC drug offending 

around New Zealand, and his 

loyalty to TMC. 

“It is not believed that the 

defendant McMeekan held any 

degree of control or influence 

in the criminal enterprise, 

nor would he have received 

significant financial reward for 

his involvement.”

Love of gardening keeps 99-year-old fit 

HAPPY PLACE: Venus Bailey at work in her 

garden. 


VENUS BAILEY grows her own 

vegetables, saws branches from trees, 

and gets down on her hands and knees 

to pull out weeds. 

The 99-year-old of Lincoln says gardening 

keeps her fit, and happy. 

“Gardening is just a way of enjoying 

life.” 

This year Venus is celebrating the 

65th anniversary of the Springston 

Garden Club alongside other club 

members. 

She is patron of the club and a founding 

member, having gone along to its 

first meeting after being asked by her 

mother-in-law Agnes Bailey. 

The mother of four was farming at 

Springston with husband Colin at the 

time, and jumped at the opportunity. 

She said her love of gardening was 

just as strong then as now, with her 

particular passion being for all plants 

that flower. 

“You just look at a bare branch and 

in the next few months, out comes a 

beautiful flower. I think nature is a real 

miracle.” 

Venus said her late husband had also 

enjoyed gardening, and the couple 

were able to indulge in their hobby 

even more once they retired off the 

farm in their 60s to a five-acre block at 

Prebbleton. Here they cultivated a large 

vegetable patch alongside a flowering 

network of Venus’s favourite shrubs 

and bushes such as chamellias, roses 

and rhododendrons. 

Today on her smaller section at 

STRENGTH: Springston Garden Club founding member Nancy 

Williams (left) and immediate past president Lynette Windle at the 

club’s 65th annual meeting. 

Lincoln, Venus still has many of those 

favourites, alongside flourishing garden 

beds and vege patch which yields broccoli, 

leeks, silver beet, cabbages and 

runner beans. 

“I don’t have any set time for gardening, 

sometimes I will put a winter coat 

on and go outside because you get tired 

of being in the house,” Venus said. 

“If I go out and hang clothes next 

thing I know I’m pulling weeds. I do a 

bit and sit down and have a look at it, 

and see what I want to cut back.” 

She saws off wayward branches, 

although has someone to come in and 

help with bigger jobs as well as to mow 

the lawns. 

Venus, who turns 100 in March next 

year, said it was great to see the club 

have its 65th anniversary. It had been a 

supportive and friendly club to many. 

Immediate past president Lynette 

Windle said the club was still going 

strong, with about 100 members. 

“This shows the love of plants, trees 

and shrubs is strong still,” Lynette said. 

It had held its annual meeting 

recently, acknowledging its two 

founding members of Venus, and 

Nancy Williams of Rolleston.

OPERATION: Police also visited the South Island headquarters of the Mongols MC gang in July last year. 

PHOTO: GEORGE HEARD 

ARMED POLICE raided the 

South Island headquarters 

of the Mongols MC gang in 

Burnham last Wednesday. 

State Highway 1 was blocked 

at Burnham in both directions 

as the raid took place. 

There have been a number of 

pre-planned search warrants 

executed at the property 

previously. 

The raid on the Mongols 

yesterday appears to be part of 

a crackdown on gangs, code 

named Operation Cobalt. 

The week before, police also 

searched the Tribesmen’s 

South Island headquarters, 

which is in an industrial area 

in Woolston. 

In December 2020, money, 

a stolen vehicle and a gun 

were seized by police as part 

of a search of the Mongol 

headquarters. 

One person was arrested for 

breach of bail.

Legal Matters 

Do you qualify for a “top 

up” settlement payment 

from Southern Response? 

If you settled an earthquake 

insurance claim with AMI or Southern 

Response before 1 October 2014, 

then you may be entitled to further 

compensation from Southern 

Response. 

As a result of court proceedings 

(Southern Response v Dodds), 

Southern Response was held to have 

misled its insureds by withholding 

the true costs to repair or rebuild an 

earthquake damaged house. 

When settling claims before October 

2014, for each house Southern 

Response prepared a “Detailed 

Repair/Rebuild Analysis” (DRA) 

which set out the cost of repairing 

or rebuilding. This DRA was 

disclosed to homeowners. However, 

Southern Response prepared a 

second, internal DRA that was 

never disclosed to homeowners 

which included professional fees, 

project management costs, and a 

contingency allowance, all as part 

of the total costs to repair or rebuild 

the damaged house, that were not 

included in the DRA provided to 

homeowners. 

The High Court held that not 

disclosing the true costs of repairing 

or rebuilding the house was 

misleading and that the amount of 

the non-disclosed costs should be 

paid out to the homeowner who took 

the case. They received $178,894.30. 

This decision was upheld despite 

Southern Response appealing to the 

Court of Appeal. Southern Response 

has now accepted that it will 

compensate other homeowners who 

cash settled with Southern Response 

and who did not receive the full repair 

or rebuild costs. 

You may be one of approximately 

3000 homeowners eligible for a 

further ‘top-up’ payment package 

from Southern Response if you owned 

a home: 

- That was Insured with AMI; and 

- Was damaged in the 2010-2011 

Canterbury earthquake sequence; 

and 

- You settled your insurance claim 

with AMI or Southern Response before 

1 October 2014. 

We have an experienced litigation and 

insurance team, with our specialist 

staff being experts with earthquake 

insurance claim processes and 

resolving claims, having worked for 

both insurers and insureds in this 

area for many years. 

To be eligible for an offer, you need 

to register with Southern Response 

by April 2023. If you think you 

might be eligible or want more 

information, please get in touch with 

us at insurance@tp.co.nz. Southern 

Response will contribute towards your 

legal costs.

Chlorination should 

be a last resort 

I DO not agree with blanket chlorination 

across the district. Some supplies have 

secure groundwater and low risk, 

whereas others have high risk, such as 

the restricted supplies that could have 

backflow issues. It needs to be on a caseby-case 

basis based on risk assessment. 

Chlorine should be a last resort and only 

if a residual is required in the reticulation 

system. Cartridge or membrane filtration 

and/or UV are better options without 

leaving a bad taste.

Hospital 

Ellesmere Hospital has been a vital part 

of the community for many more than the 

44 years that I have lived in Southbridge. 

Two of my children were born there, 

and in later years it has been a muchneeded 

place for patients needing respite 

and end-of-life care. 

The convenience of a local hospital 

meant that families who were unable to 

travel large distances could spend time 

with their loved ones and knew that they 

were receiving the best care. 

The hospital created employment for 

local residents, who also knew many of 

the local patients who were in their care. 

I, along with many others would be very 

sad for the district to lose our hospital.

“A local team for local people”


• By Georgia O’Connor- 

Harding 

THE FOG of the earthquakes 

is finally lifting for resilient 

Cantabrians. 

New research from the University 

of Otago, Christchurch, 

has found the brain function 

of otherwise-healthy individuals 

living through a traumatic 

event has the ability to bounce 

back over time. 

An initial study conducted 

about three years post-quake 

found a group of Cantabrians 

who didn’t develop psychological 

difficulties were still 

experiencing issues with 

cognitive function including 

memory and attention. 

But 10-11 years on from 

the earthquakes, researchers 

found that same group overcame 

those issues. 

Senior research fellow Dr 

Katie Douglas said it shows 

time does heal which is promising 

and hopeful for those 

that experienced that trauma. 

“This is good news as it offers 

preliminary evidence that 

there are no long-lasting effects 

on cognitive impairment 

after exposure to a traumatic 

event, at least in people who 

don’t develop a mental health 

condition. 

“It suggests changes in their 

cognitive functioning and 


emotion processing may be 

related to exposure to continued 

threat in the environment, 

which improves when the 

threat resolves,’ she said. 

Douglas said the findings 

back up similar international 

studies which show the brain’s 

ability to recover once 

distanced in time from the 

original trauma. 

“When the original studies 

were conducted, people were 

living in an environment 

of ongoing seismic activity 

where, over a two-year period, 

Canterbury experienced over 

10,000 aftershocks. 

“The fact that residents were 

in a chronically hyper-aroused 

state may have resulted in biological 

changes in the brain, 

such as in the amygdala, 

which is responsible for processing 

strong emotions. By 

the time of the current study 

however, there was no seismic 

activity and the sense of threat 

had abated.” 

Study co-author, Associate 

Professor Caroline Bell, also 

from the University of Otago, 

Christchurch, says the study 

adds to the growing body of 

international research relating 

to how large groups in society

sense of the effects of exposure 

to major threats from disasters 

such as earthquakes on wider 

populations. 

“They are reassuring in 

showing that a resilient response 

is the most prevalent. 

They also suggest, conversely, 

that persisting impairments in 

threat sensitivity and cognitive

people’s productivity and 

could potentially be a target 

for intervention,” she said.

NATURE: Ruud Kleinpaste with a ‘creepy crawly’ and pupils from 

Southbridge School. 

Medicinal Māori garden 

created by pupils 

WITH A vision to 

encourage pupils to become 

guardians of their natural 

surroundings, Southbridge 

School has planted a 

medicinal Māori garden. 

A holistic practice that 

embraces the medicinal 

properties of New Zealand 

native plants, the outdoor 

learning space challenges 

students to think of ways 

to encourage native insects 

and birds to return to the 

local area. 

Ruud ‘The Bugman’ 

Kleinpaste and Dr Riley 

Elliott, shark scientist, 

recently visited the small 

rural school to talk to pupils 

and teachers about the 

importance of sustainability 

and how they can help to 

look after the environment. 

Kleinpaste also spent a 

second day at the school, 

spending time with individual 

classes to practise 

the iNaturalist initiative 

and identify biodiversity 

within the expansive school 

grounds. 

The visit was part of 

the 2022 TREEmendous 

Education Programme, 

an initiative from the 

Mazda Foundation, with 

Southbridge School one 

of five winning schools 

across New Zealand to 

receive $1000 towards an 

environmental project and 

200 native trees from Trees 

That Count for their school 

grounds. 

Southbridge School 

spokesperson Simon Dakers 

says TREEmendous has 

had a significant positive 

impact on the school and 

its local community. 

“TREEmendous has 

brilliantly supported a local 

focus on bringing more

Southbridge School. 

biodiversity and bird life 

into our community. We 

have a lot of excited and 

engaged students actively 

seeking nature connections 

and enquiring into a range 

of topics based on their 

newfound knowledge,” he 

said. 

“We have a Kāhui Ako 

(community of learning) 

focus on well-being based 

on Te Whare Mauri Ora – a 

Māori model of health and 

well-being. This learning 

model emphasises the 

importance of aiding wellbeing 

through making connections 

with Papatūānuku 

(the land). 

“We are hearing many 

accounts of students going 

home wanting to find out 

more about the environment 

– this sets them up 

beautifully to be lifelong 

learners who understand 

their role as kaitiaki – 

guardians of the sky, the sea 

and the land.” 

Kleinpaste says his work 

with Southbridge School 

provided the soundtrack 

for another successful 

TREEmendous event. 

“In one of the most 

modified landscapes of 

Canterbury, the students 

and teachers of Southbridge 

School made the decision 

to embark on some serious 

restoration planting across 

their school grounds. 

After listening to inspirational 

conversations linking 

the terrestrial environment 

with marine ecosystems 

on day one, the students 

grabbed their spades on day 

two and planted the 200 

trees, carefully eco-sourced 

from the Canterbury region,” 

Kleinpaste said. 

“All I heard were excited 

voices, especially when they 

dug up some local creepy 

crawlies.”

Wildlife supported 

by native trees 

PLANTING natives in 

New Zealand supports 

the many native species of 

insects, birds and lizards 

that are ecologically suited 

to the plants through 

evolution over millions of 

years. 

Planting an exotic such 

as an oak that has not 

evolved in these lands 

mean that few species can 

use its resources – the 

squirrels, badgers, jays, 

voles and woodpeckers 

that are oak specialists 

are not in New Zealand 

to utilise the acorns and 

wood. 

However, one species 

that is found here is the 

European oak leaf-miner 

Phyllonorycter messaniella. 

It is likely to have been 

introduced inadvertently 

with the oaks. This species 

is a small moth, just 4mm 

long with a 7-9mm wingspan. 

It has distinctive 

brown and white forewing 

markings. 

The oak leaf-miner is 

from Europe but has been 

introduced into Australasia. 

In New Zealand the 

peak flight time is April. 

Pale yellow larvae feed 

on several oak species, 

European beech, chestnut 

and European hornbeam. 

They mine or tunnel 

in host leaves, usually 

between two lateral veins. 

Pay with Zip or Laybuy online or instore and spread the

Prebbleton ends 15-year losing streak 

• By Tatiana Gibbs 

PREBBLETON ended a 15-year 

drought against Southbridge on 

Saturday to move into third spot 

in Ellesmere senior rugby, with 

two rounds remaining in the 

Coleman Shield competition. 

In another milestone, Rolleston 

scored their first win of the season, 

beating West Melton 19-15 

– a great tonic for veteran Alex 

Hine’s 100th game. 

Prebbleton’s 21-11 victory was 

their first win over Southbridge 

since 2007, and the rematch 

of last year’s grand final was a 

physical game that ended with a 

tussle right on fulltime. 

“It is a game where both teams 

play with a lot of pride, a lot of 

passion, and it spilled over at the 

end there, but that’s what happens 

at the end of a tense game,” 

Prebbleton coach Dave Kettles 

said. 

“We’ve had a lot of close losses 

(against Southbridge), so it’s nice 

to get one on the other side of the 

ledger.” 

The match was without a try 

for three quarters of the game, 

with both teams’ first five-eighths 

kicking penalties for points 

until Prebbleton’s fullback 

Todd Struthers capitalised on a 

Southbridge mistake to claim 

the match’s first try in the 66th 

minute. 

GAME: Prebbleton beat Southbridge 21-11. 

Right – Southbridge lock Hamish Maw secures possession. 

PHOTOS: TATIANA GIBBS, CHARLOTTE KNOWLER 

Southbridge’s Shannon Donald 

had claimed the match’s first 

points by successfully kicking 

two penalties and securing a 6-0 

lead after the opening 20 minutes. 

But Ted Coleman was also 

on target, landing three penalty 

goals to give Prebbleton a 9-6 

lead after 50 minutes. 

Said Kettles: “I think both 

teams’ defence was outstanding 

– a division one game going 

for 66 minutes to score a try, 

that’s a testament to both teams’ 

defence.” 

Southbridge kept in the fight 

with a touchdown eight minutes 

later, winning a lineout 30 metres 

from Prebbleton’s try line to work 

the ball quickly across the field to 

wing Tom Turner, who scored in 

the corner to make it 16-11. 

Hooker Jack Walsh sealed 

Prebbleton’s win with the try in 

the 78th minute. 

Kettles put the win down to 

applying pressure plus skillful 

kicking from Coleman and halfback 

Yuta Ohata, and a strong 

reserve bench.

“Being a physical and tough 

game, it was nice to be able to 

rotate out our two props at halftime 

and we’re lucky we don’t 

lose much with it.” 

Southbridge manager Chris 

McMillan said an injury crisis 

had ruled out 13 players across 

the club’s top two teams. 

“I’ve been managing the team 

for 20 years and I’ve never had 

this many players out in one 

season,” he said. 

“We’re not a full-strength side 

at the moment, but we still have 

a top side that is good enough to 

win the game, but on the day we 

didn’t.” 

Prebbleton, Southbridge and 

Springston will now battle it out 

for the last two semi-final spots 

against top qualifiers Darfield 

and Waihora. 

In other matches, unbeaten 

Waihora thrashed Springston 58- 

0, Lincoln beat Hornby 50-17 and 

Rolleston beat West Melton 19-15. 

Said Rolleston coach Matt 

Cawley: “Our defence just stood 

firm, held tight and ultimately 

won the game. I think it’s a game 

where the defence won it rather 

than the attacking side.” 

It was a fitting milestone win 

for lock Alex ‘Diesel’ Hines, who 

brought up his 100th division 

one game for the club. 

“He’s one of the fellas who 

hadn’t played all year and when 

he heard that we were short he 

put his hand up and said ‘yip, I 

can help out’,” Cawley said. 

“He epitomises the club and 

goes about his work letting his 

actions speak for what he thinks. 

He’s not the biggest bloke on the 

field from a physical point of view 

but has one of the biggest hearts.” 

This Saturday all eyes are on 

unbeaten teams Darfield and 

Waihora who will face off in a 

top of the table clash.

Community Park completed 

and open 

YOUTH ZONE 

TAKING SHAPE IN 

TOWN CENTRE 

The new youth zone in Rolleston Town Centre is rapidly taking shape. 

Good weather has allowed the contractors to make excellent progress on constructing the site, 

installing the skate bowls, rock terracing and various path networks. 

Work on the youth zone, which is being built by Isaac Construction, began in mid-March, and is 

scheduled for completion by the end of the year. The youth zone was designed with input from 

students at Selwyn’s four high schools. 

A brand new playground, basketball half-court, BBQ area and 

landscape planting are now in place at the new West Melton 

Community Park. 

The new facilities mark the completion of the park, which has 

been developed in two stages over the past 12 months. Stage one, 

including skate and scooter ramps and bowl, was completed in 

December 2021. 

The community park will be a huge asset for local residents, says 

Community Projects Manager Cam Warr. “This is a park the whole 

community will be able to use and enjoy,” he says. “There are 

facilities for children, youth and families, options for both active and 

passive recreation, and attractive landscaped areas with seating and 

open spaces to relax in.” 

There are just a few finishing touches to be added, including 

completion of the BBQ area, which was delayed due to COVID-19, 

Mr Warr says. 

The next stage of the development is to install a public toilet on the 

highway side of the park, funded through the Tourism 

Infrastructure Fund. 

The development has been undertaken by contractors Nelson Creek 

Skateparks and Boards, City Care and Playco, at a total project cost 

of around $600,000. “We want to acknowledge the input of the 

community in helping design the park, and the contribution of the 

West Melton District Residents Association, for their involvement 

and support of the project.” 

It will feature a range of areas for people to hang out, a large ‘Eagle Claw’ basket swing, skate park, 

half basketball court and netball zone. There will also be a gaga ball pit – a game similar to dodge ball 

and played in a pit area, where players throw the ball with the aim to touch other players’ legs. 

The skate park’s main features will include a pool bowl, flow bowl and snake run. Street skate features 

such as stairs, banks, rails and ledges have been integrated into various pathways to add to the lines 

users can ride. The skate features are being designed and constructed by skate park design and build 

specialist Nelson Creek Skateparks and Boards, led by experienced skateboarder David North. 

The company most recently built the West Melton skate area. 

Nelson Creek has been able to create most of the skate features prior to winter setting in, with 

landscaping of the remaining hardscape area already in progress and ramping up in the 

next few weeks. 

The project team and the Selwyn Youth Council have also begun gathering ideas for an opening event 

for the zone, which will likely feature a skate competition, gaga ball, food and a street art workshop, 

along with other fun activities. 

Malvern awards set to recognise local service 

Nominations are now open for the Malvern Community Board’s 2022 Community Service Awards. 

After a gap of two years, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the popular awards are back for 2022 – and 

the Community Board is seeking nominations of people who deserve recognition for their outstanding 

voluntary service to the community 

At the last awards, in 2019, nine volunteers from the Malvern area received awards, for volunteer service 

in fields such as Civil Defence, community committees, community patrols and local events. Five St John 

volunteers also received youth awards. 

Categories of service include recreation, sport, youth activities, aged, welfare, educational service, 

cultural, religious and community affairs. The awards are open to residents of Malvern, or to people who 

provide service in the area. 

The Board invites nominations from organisations, associations, societies, clubs or individuals. 

Nominations close on 20 July 2022 with the Secretary of the Malvern Community Board. 

Nomination forms and guidelines can be accessed from www.selwyn.govt.nz/mcbcsa or pick up a copy 

from the Darfield Library. 

The awards will be presented at a function in late August.

West Melton intersection 

improvements kick off 

Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency has awarded construction 

company Fulton Hogan the contract for the installation of traffic 

signals at the SH73/Weedons Ross Road intersection and 

associated new road links. 

“These changes will improve connections in the community to key 

facilities, including the recreation centre, the Domain, local shops, 

West Melton School, and early childcare facilities,” says Waka Kotahi 

Director Regional Relationships, James Caygill. “They will also make 

travel times at the intersection more reliable. 

“Importantly, it will make it safer for people to get around West 

Melton whether walking, cycling, or by car.” 

Enabling work, which has started, includes work around the 

stockwater races, utility services such as power, telecoms and 

watermains, and site clearance. 

“The roading construction will follow in summer 2022/23, with the 

aim of finishing the two intersections and other safety-associated 

features by mid next year,” says Mr Caygill. 

“There will be changes to traffic management as construction 

progresses. Please drive with care and follow signs and changes to 

the road layout.” 

The project, part of the New Zealand Upgrade Programme, includes: 

• traffic signals at the intersection of SH73 and Weedons Ross 

Road with pedestrian crossing phases for improved safety 

• a new link road connecting Weedons Ross Road with West 

Melton Road 

• a new cul-de-sac on West Melton Road where it currently 

connects with Weedons Ross Road 

• a new roundabout at the intersection of the link road with 

Weedons Ross Road opposite Kingsdowne Drive 

• new shared paths for pedestrians and people on bikes 

connecting key parts of the community 

• changes to stockwater races and other utility services.

changes to traffic management) at: www.nzta.govt.nz/wmwr

DEXTER DUNN’S had 

some big nights at the 

Meadowlands. And Saturday 

night must rate right up there. 

Not only did the 10-time 

New Zealand driving 

champion have five wins on 

the night at the Big M in New 

Jersey, but Bulldog Hanover’s 

victory equalled the world 

record held by Always B Miki 

and Lather Up. 

The four-year-old won 

in 1:46 to finish nearly two 

lengths clear of Allywag 

Hanover and Abuckabett 

Hanover in third. 

“(Dexter) was sort of 

speechless,” trainer Noel 

Daley said after the race, 

“(Dexter) said it took a halfmile 

to pull him up tonight, 

too.” 

It was Bulldog Hanover’s 

19th win in just 27 starts. 

Always B Miki was the 

first to go 1:46 at the Red 

Mile in 2016, with Lather 

Up following suit at the 

Meadowlands in 2019. 

Dunn, the three-time 

Harness Writers Association 

Driver of the Year in North 

America, had a stellar night 

that also saw former Kiwi 

Jack’s Legend become the 

third fastest New Zealand 

bred pacer. He won in 1:47.8. 

VICTORIOUS: Champion driver Dexter Dunn added five more wins to his tally, with 

117 from 623 drives so far this year in North America. 

Shartin is the fastest ever at 

1:46.8, with My Field Marshall 

second (1:46.9 at Menangle). 

Dunn’s other wins came 

with Pink Coco Chanel, 

Alrajah One It and gun trotter 

Bella Bellini who won in a 

career best 1:50.1. 

He has 117 wins from 623 

drives this year with his stakes 

at nearly $2.7m.

budget. After 26 years our retiring vendors are downsizing, which 

gives potential purchasers a unique opportunity to secure a 150ha 

(approximately) leasehold sheep and beef farm on the outskirts of 

Christchurch City. 

How many farming operations will give you a monthly income? An 

exceptional set of stockyards and a small area of the property are 

currently used to generate an annual income of approximately 

$50,000 - $60,000 from a stock agistment business which leaves the 

majority of the farm available for sheep and cattle grazing. 

The property offers a very good standard of improvements which 

includes a private, modernised three bedroom home situated in a 

sheltered and established garden. The two stand woolshed is in a 

very tidy condition as is the three-bay implement shed and the threebay 

hayshed. 

With irrigation consent to irrigate up to 20ha and the property being 

well fenced into numerous paddocks with laneways, this property 

would suit a number of stock systems. 

This is a unique opportunity to secure a sizeable farm in a great 

location only a short commute to the city. Motivated vendors have 

their eye on their next chapter, so enquire today to start your new

Helping grow the country

• By Chris Barclay 

STEPHANIE Broomhall retired 

as a World Cup winner in 2006, 

but the former Black Ferns 

international was always keen 

to maintain a commitment to 

rugby. 

A desire to coach her boys 

from grassroots level at 

Prebbleton and then during 

their schooling at St Thomas 

of Canterbury College has now 

culminated in the 40-year-old 

joining the team where she came 

to prominence on the wing. 

Broomhall is among a newlook 

management team for the 

Canterbury’s Farah Palmer Cup 

campaign, she sustains a female 

connection following Whitney 

Hansen’s promotion to the 

Black Ferns and Melissa Ruscoe 

standing down after a five-year 

stint. 

An assistant focusing on her 

specialist position, the outside 

backs, Broomhall had her first 

camp with a squad tasked with 

regaining the provincial crown 

from Waikato in Hanmer 

Springs last weekend. 

Broomhall attended sessions 

with the wider training group 

earlier this season and although 

she never had aspirations to 

coach above junior level, head 

coach Blair Baxter’s offer was too 

enticing to refuse. 

“I jumped in there and I was 

absolutely blown away, which I 

knew I would, by the talent, the 

progression that’s been going 

on since I last played. I’ll be 

learning as well, the players will 

be teaching me,” said Broomhall, 

who retired when she was just 

24. 

Scoring a try in the 25-17 

World Cup final win over England 

in Edmonton, Canada - and 

setting up the decisive score for 

Amira Marsh proved the ideal 

sign off as motherhood took 

precedence. 

However, the 12-test international 

returned to the code when 

son Ben was ready for Rippa 

rugby as a four-year-old. 

“It’s an area (coaching) where 

I can give back, that’s all it was 

and I really enjoy working to 

develop players,” said Broomhall, 

who has coached at the Prebbleton 

club for 11 years. 

This season she was a technical 

adviser to the under-17 girls 

squad and senior women’s team, 

which returned to the field after 

a 21-year absence. 

Broomhall also assists St 

Thomas’ under-15 squad, which 

includes Ben. 

She also coached another son, 

Beau, from aged three to 12. 


Husband Andy – the brother of 

former All Black loose forward 

Sam – looks after their nineyear-old 

daughter Fern’s team at 

Prebbleton. 

Unlike her children, Broomhall 

was a late developer as a 

rugby player with harriers running, 

athletics and then netball 

the priority until she was 16. 

A stress fracture in her back, a 

consequence of jumping up and 

down netball courts, led mum to 

suggest rugby – a wise move. 

“Mum had a way of identifying 

what you’d be good at. When 

I played rugby with the boys

“The freedom I had on the rugby 

field, just to be physical and 

express myself . . . I never looked

Broomhall joined the 

Christchurch Football Club and 

made her Canterbury debut 

in 1999, the same season the 

18-year-old was selected to trial 

for the Black Ferns. 

She had to wait until the World

Broomhall, who was judged 

New Zealand women’s player of 

the year in 2004, was effectively 

colour blind at the sevens mecca, 

a tournament she attended three 

times. 

“I didn’t know the story at the 

time, and I didn’t care. I was in 

my late teens, early 20s and I was 

just taking every opportunity I 

could to play the sport I love,” she 

said. 

“Those opportunities with 

that team were unreal, things I’ll 

never forget.” 

A primary school trained 

teacher, Broomhall combines her 

sporting commitments with a 

coveted role as an early intervention 

educator at The Champion 

Centre, a facility for infants and 

young children with significant 

disabilities based at Burwood 

Hospital. 

“It’s a special place. I was just 

finishing my teaching at playcentre 

and the ad popped up, it was 

like a little goldmine in that little 

spot,” she said. 

And now there is a new learning 

experience to embrace at 

Rugby Park. 

“The support, the quality 

of coaching (Canterbury), the 

resources on offer since I played 

at that level have increased exponentially,” 

she said. 

“We didn’t get that sort of 

coaching until we were at Black 

Ferns level. It’s really exciting.”

RACING 

• By Chris Barclay 

A CANTERBURY harness 

racing trainer has been 

banned for almost two years 

after injecting a horse with a 

substance intended to make it 

placid hours before it was due to 

start at Addington. 

Cam Jones began the 

21-month ban imposed by the 

Racing Integrity Board on June 

30. He cannot rejoin the industry 

until March 29, 2024. 

Jones, who trained at Woodend 

Beach, belatedly admitted 

injecting Johnny Nevits with 

Flexidin, a peanut oil-based 

medication usually used to treat 

iodine deficiency in sheep and 

cattle, on December 10 last year 

before transporting the horse to 

Addington Raceway. 

Harness racing rules stipulate 

horses cannot have any substances 

administered – by injection 

or oral syringe – within a 

day of racing. 

The maximum penalties are 

a $20,000 fine and/or being 

disqualified or suspended from 

holding a training licence for a 

period not exceeding five years. 

Jones initially denied injecting 

Johnny Nevits when RIB investigators 

swooped on his stable 

and witnessed him depositing an 

item into a wheelie bin. 

He claimed it was a vaping 

canister but a search of the bin 

found a syringe. 

Fellow trainer Andrew Fitzgerald 

told investigators he saw 

Jones holding an empty syringe 

but had not seen him injecting 

Johnny Nevits. 

Once the horse arrived at 

the track a RIB vet detected an 


Jones gets 21-month ban for injecting horse 

BREACH: Harness racing trainer Cam Jones has been 

banned from the sport for almost two years after injecting 

a horse shortly before it was to race at Addington. 

injection site on Johnny Nevits 

jugular vein. 

Jones admitted the breach in 

April and told a RIB penalty 

hearing on June 21 he lied because 

he was aware he would 

lose his training licence if he 

confessed. 

When releasing their judgement, 

the RIB considered Jones’ 

offending was further aggravated 

by the “deceptive conduct he 

engaged in once his actions had 

been detected”. 

“This showed that he was 

clearly aware that his conduct 

was in breach of the rules . . . 

In his initial interview with an 

RIB investigator, he maintained 

that he had not injected Johnny 

Nevits, and challenged the RIB 

to prove that he had. 

“This does make Mr Jones’ 

expression of remorse at the 

penalty hearing sound a little 

hollow.” 

Jones said he injected Johnny 

Nevits so the gelding was not 

a “hot sweaty mess” before it 

raced. 

Flexadin is not a banned 

substance but the RIB decision 

said an informant “contended 

that the only viable reason for 

administering a substance to a 

horse by hypodermic syringe, 

on race-day and shortly before a 

race, was to obtain some form of 

benefit”. 

Jones said Johnny Nevits 

received a dose early in the week 

it was due to race but staff had 

neglected to administer it in his 

absence. 

When he returned to the stable 

after the birth of his child he 

decided to inject Johnny Nevits 

about 2-½ hours before it was 

due to race but insisted he was 

“not trying to get an edge”. 

However, the adjudicators 

decided Jones administered a 

substance to benefit the horse on 

race day – in this instance, “to 

enable the horse to settle during 

its race, and give of its best”. 

Johnny Nevits was scratched 

from the race and subsequently 

retired due to a tendon injury 

and rehomed through the Canterbury-based 

Stable to Stirrup 

programme. 

It was also one of two horses 

injected by disgraced Woodend 

Beach harness racing trainer 

Jesse Alford. 

Alford was banned for seven 

years in May 2021 after he was 

caught injecting Johnny Nevits 

and Jimmy Cannon with formalin, 

a banned substance used 

to control bleeding, two hours 

before they were due to race 

at Addington Raceway three 

months earlier. 

A junior driver, who started 

training in September 2020, 

Jones has recorded 16 winners 

and 15 placings from 68 starts, 

earning $111,958 in stake money. 

He usually had between 6-8 

horses in his team and wound 

down his operation aware a ban 

was imminent. 

The solitary horse under his 

care was moved within 24 hours 

of the penalty being imposed.

“It’s one out of the box so far,” 

Simon McMillan of Leeston

He is leading the Southbridge

having weighed in a 8.95kg fish on 

January 6. 

Hotel owner/ 

operator Harry 

Singh said it was 

the biggest fish 

entered in the 

competition since 

1997. The smallest 

so far this season 

was 5.65kg, which 

would have been 

considered a 

good-sized fish in 

previous seasons.

PROUD: Rolleston School pupil Emma Bolton has brought home the Canterbury 

Primary School Boccia Championships title for the second year in a row. 


ROLLESTON School pupil Emma 

Bolton does not let cerebral palsy 

get in her way. 

The 12-year-old has claimed the 

Canterbury Primary School Boccia 

Championships title for the second 

year in a row, and is now gearing up 

for the South Island Halberg Games 

where she will compete in boccia, 

athletics and swimming. 

Mother Anna Bolton said her 

daughter loved being active, and 

always found an alternative way 

to do things. While she had used a 

walker when she was younger, she 

now walked unaided. 

However, her mild cerebral palsy 

meant she continued to struggle 

with her balance and doing a lot 

of physical activities that other 

children took for granted, such as 

climbing around a playground. 

Bolton said boccia had been good 

for Emma’s hand/eye co-ordination, 

and gave her a sport to play where 

she was not having to keep up with 

able-bodied children. 

Competing against 10 other 

pupils from schools around Canterbury, 

Emma won the 2022 competition 

last week. 

“I feel proud that I won it again 

and get to bring the plaque home for 

another year,” Emma said. 

Boccia is a sport similar to bowls 

and pétanque, played by people with 

cerebral palsy or impairments that 

affect motor skills. Players must

Emma keeps firm grip on boccia trophy 

throw or roll leather balls as close 

as possible to a white target ball, 

known as the jack. The player, pair 

or team with the most balls near the 

jack is the winner. 

“I like that you can sit and throw 

a ball, so anyone can do it,” Emma 

said. 

“You just have to learn to be accurate 

and learn some strategies.” 

Emma will go to the South Island 

Halberg Games in October. She

CentreStage’s next Musical: 

Bonnie and Clyde 

The story of Bonnie and Clyde has mesmerised 

since the early 1930s. Bonnie 

Parker and Clyde Barrow were a robbery 

team that became notorious in the United 

States through their flamboyant encounters 

with police and the sensationalisation of 

their exploits by the country’s newspapers. 

The legendary quality of Barrow’s and 

Parker’s careers is not difficult to understand, 

given the extreme desperation of 

the times. Their crime spree occurred at 

the height of the Great Depression, which 

hit particularly hard in the southern states. 

Several bank robbers during this period 

became famous as “Robin Hood” figures 

who struck back against the banks, 

which many people viewed as oppressive. 

Although Clyde and Bonnie were never 

criminal masterminds or even particularly 

competent crooks—their two-year 

crime spree was as much a reign of error 

as terror— yet the media made them seem 

like they were, and that was enough to turn 

them into icons. Although the reality of 

their story was anything but glamorous, 

their love and devotion to each other was 

without question. 

This show has taken many months of 

planning to bring to the stage. Circumstances 

beyond our control also pushed our 

originally planned April show dates out to 

July. Thankfully, most of our cast were able 

to commit to the new time slot! Centre- 

Stage Rolleston has created, from nothing, 

an opportunity for the public to enjoy 

quality theatre close to home in Rolleston 

and surrounding areas within the Selwyn 

District. 

The amount of voluntary hours that 

goes into a production is phenomenal. It 

ignites a passion in all those involved, a 

desire to strive for excellence and because 

of the many facets that theatre has it offers 

opportunities for individuals to use their 

specific skills and talents for a greater purpose. 

Our Director, Glen Clark, can’t wait 

to share the show with everyone: “Theatre 

brings people together and I am so proud 

to have worked alongside this amazing and 

talented team. Each and every one of them 

are committed to bringing the best possible 

theatre to our wonderful community and 

Bonnie and Clyde is no exception”.

Don’t miss the chance to reap food in spring 

• By Henri Ham 

SOUTHERLIES don’t make it 

easy to get out in the garden. 

However, gardeners still have 

much to do even in winter. 

Here are some winter gardening 

tips that hopefully will help 

ensure continuous supply of fresh 

produce. 

General maintenance 

1 Keep on top of weeding. 

2 Add a layer of compost into 

the vegetable garden and around 

trees. 

3 Prune fruit trees and roses 

(mid-winter) to stimulate growth. 

4 Make sure gardens are welldraining. 

5 Start planning for spring. 



GARDENING 37 

Edible garden 

July is a good time to plant your 

garlic, strawberries and onion 

seedlings. Strawberries are hungry 

feeders. They also like moist 

soil. Strawberry food contains 

the essential nutrients needed for 

high-yielding plants. 

You may either mulch around 

strawberry plants or use polythene 

for insulation and to keep 

the soil moist. 

Wintry weather inhibits growth 

so many gardeners usually choose 

to plant fast-growing salad 

greens, silverbeet, rainbow beet 

and spinach to ensure continuous 

supply. 

Pak Choy are fast-growing and 

very giving. They also love the 

cold. Like silverbeet, pak choy 

seedlings and brassicas can be 

planted all year round. 

Many gardeners suggest soaking 

the seedlings in seaweed tonic 

solution before transplanting. 

This process will give them extra

strength, help in root growth 

and improve their resistance to 

disease. 

If you are thinking of planting 

garlic this season, make sure you 

use rich, well-draining soil. Plant 

garlic seedlings in a sunny spot. 

For colder areas prepare to mulch 

around your garlic seedlings for 

insulation. 

Flower garden 

There may be less sun but your 

garden doesn’t have to look bleak. 

Brighten up your garden with 

antirrhinum and dianthus. 

Sweet peas, pansies and polyanthus 

can thrive in cold weather. 

All these flowering varieties can 

grow beautifully in pots as well. 

Natives 

Natives love the crispy, cool 

weather so you may still want to 

consider planting your hedges at 

this time.

Organic compost and a good layer of 

mulch can be added to your garden 

beds to protect them from the cold 

winter conditions. If planting winter 

veggies, make sure you use a quality 

Veggie Mix and ensure you have 

some frost cloth on hand! 

Another great option 

for winter growing 

is a Vegepod. 

Check these out on our website www.igro.nz

Heritage 

Protection 

Beauty can be costly when it comes to 

treasured buildings. 

To help maintain Gunyah Country Lodge 

at Windwhistle, Simonetta Ferrari, uses 

the district council’s heritage fund. 

“It’s 110 years old, I don’t see why it 

shouldn’t last another 100. There’s not a 

great deal of buildings like this left in this 

area,” she says. 

Sitting amongst trees and fields in 

Windwhistle, with a backdrop of the 

Malvern Hills and scenic views of Mount 

Hutt, it’s no wonder the son of New 

Zealand’s former Prime Minister, Sir John 

Hall chose this location to build a home 

for himself. 

Built by hand, hammer, nails and quality 

workmanship in 1912, Gunyah Country 

Lodge still stands with all of its original 

coloured Edwardian hand-painted 

wallpaper, light fittings and restored 

leadlight windows. 

Simonetta has owned Gunyah for the 

past 20 years. Previous owners installed a 

1960s ceiling in the kitchen and a 1960s 

window on the eastern side. Simonetta 

used the fund to help reinstall the original 

window and knock out the lowered 

kitchen ceiling to uncover the original 

dark rimu ceiling. 

“I put it back to what it was, and 

the whole feel of the place changed 

dramatically.” 

Other repairs financed by the fund 

include fixing walls knocked down by 

north-west winds, repairing an earthquake 

damaged roof, fixing the hangar and 

replacing aged and rotting wood. Most 

recently, some windows are being remade 

and builders are on-site fixing the south 

side of the homestead. 

Simonetta says she was very grateful to 

receive the latest funds in 2020 and 2021. 

“The job we are doing now is pretty major, 

and really expensive, so any contribution 

is most welcome. I would be a lot 

slower at doing the jobs that need doing 

around here, if there wasn’t that extra 

contribution.” 

These repairs benefit the whole 

community, she says. “It’s not just me that 

benefits, it’s the wider public in general 

and anyone that has an interest in history, 

heritage, architecture, and colonial times. 

Anyone who appreciates beautiful things 

from the past.”

SELWYN RURAL LIFE 


Go Hororātā takes 

another step 

Council commitments in Selwyn 

District’s latest 12-month plan include a 

total of just over $60m for water supply, 

wastewater and transport, but there’s also 

support for smaller community projects. 

One of the approved projects is a 

proposal by Go Hororātā to establish a 

community hub at the current Hororātā 

Community Hall. 

To support this project, Selwyn District 

Council (SDC) would allow for $1 million 

of funding as agreed in the Long-Term 

Plan. This would have no impact on 

rates and be subject to a satisfactory 

feasibility study, as well as preparation of a 

Memorandum of Understanding between 

the parties, outlining the transfer of 

ownership and future relationship. 

Further afield, SDC has confirmed the 

closure of parts of the Upper Ellesmere 

Water Race over a five year period, 

with changes to the timing of when 

some sections will be closed, based on 

submissions. The council also approved 

water race rating across the district and a 

$20 Ecological Enhancement targeted rate 

and harmonisation of Land Drainage rates 

for investing in biodiversity. 

The projects agreed to in the 12-month 

plan deliver on the community’s 

expectations, Mayor Sam Broughton said. 

“Last year we agreed a strong plan with 

the community to meet the challenges we 

face and ensure that we strengthen the 

aspects that make us the most popular 

place to live in the country. We’ve checked 

in with our community and confirmed 

that we’re on the right track with the 

projects that matter most to them.” 

SDC says its 12-month plan commits 

to a $112.5m capital plan “to deliver on 

the needs for growth and the plans agreed 

with the community in the past year”. 

The plan includes $20.2m for water 

supply; $21.6m for wastewater projects 

and $20.4m for transportation. The 

average rates increase across the district 

is 6%. Council says rate changes will vary 

for individual households depending on 

the mix of targeted rates households pay, 

and services provided. 

An SDC statement says this 6% average 

increase is slightly higher than the 4.9% 

average forecast in the LTP last year 

– but is in line with the current levels 

of national inflation, “reflecting the 

increased costs the council is facing in 

delivering what the community has asked 

for”. 

The 12-month plan was agreed 

following consultation and public 

hearings. A total of 140 submission were 

received, with 28 submitters heard in 

public hearings.

Electric BMW a glimpse into the future 

WITH THE ever increasing 

number of electric vehicles 

pouring out of the global 

automobile factories, so has 

conventional design gone out the 

window. 

I first noticed futuristic looks 

were developing when I evaluated 

Hyundai’s Ioniq 5 late last 

year, now BMW has escaped the 

constraints of normal design associated 

with having an internal 

combustion engine under the 

bonnet. It has pushed out the 

envelope, the fully electric iX 

series is landing here in sizeable 

numbers and it is bold and brash 

all through. 

The exterior is blunt up front, 

the characteristic BMW kidney 

grille is intact, but it captures 

attention with its flat, enclosed 

structure and triangular shapes. 

All through the vehicle there is 

an emphasis on polygons and 

geometric patterns, and with 

the huge amount of electronic 

componentry the inside look is 

minimalistic, it is clean, sharp 

and manipulated largely by touch 

surfaces. 

It may sound like a mishmash 

of ideas, but in reality it all works 

quite neatly and nicely. But there 

are elements that are ‘in your 

face’ and it may take some time 

to warm to all of it. The optional 

bright blue seat belts that contrast 

STATEMENT: The BMW iX xDrive40 has styling cues that 

go beyond conventional design. 

BMW iX xDRIVE40: Large sport utility vehicle powered solely by batteries and electric motors. 

to the rest of the interior colour 

and patterns take some getting 

used to. Different colour mixtures 

can be ordered, but I just felt the 

blue was too striking. 

That aside, the iX xDrive40 is 

a wonderful piece of engineering. 

The evaluation car lists at 

$169,600, if you want the epitome 

of luxury, performance and 

distance of travel the iX M60 will 

take you 566km on single charge 

but will set you back $238,900. 

The iX xDrive50 sits in-between 

at $204,800 and it’s good for up to 

630km. If you are thinking the iX 

xDrive40 is the poorer cousin of 

the series, then that’s simply not 

the case, it is an exceptional sport 

utility vehicle that will satisfy the 

demands of any electric vehicle 

owner. 

The 40 offers a lot for the 

money. It has everything you 

would expect to find in an SUV 

– petrol powered or electric – it 

cocoons the occupants in luxury, 

and although there is no leather, 

the fabric trim on the evaluation 

car was amazing, its by far 

the seat covering I would choose 

and, what’s more, you still get the 

warmth through seat squab and 

backrest heaters. 

Other notable items of fitment 

include full panoramic roof, 

head-up display, push-button door 

opening buttons, and electric everything; 

seat adjustment is done 

from buttons on the door proper, 

making travel comfortable and 

convenient for all occupants has 

been a manufacturing priority. 

The whole driving experience 

is user-friendly, there are no conventional 

controls, to start operation 

requires the push of a button, 

and to enter drive mode means a 

flick of a centre console-mounted 

switch. Thereafter, movement is 

normal, there is good loading on 

the steering wheel, while momentum 

is ushered in solidly and 

smoothly. Well, that’s no surprise, 

drive is seamless, the electric 

motor winds up quickly to create 

considerable force. 

As you would expect, the iX 

xDrive40 is quick – a 6.1sec 

standstill to 100km/h acceleration 

time is claimed by BMW. It 

will also lunge through a highway 

overtake in 3.8sec (80-120km/h). 

Acceleration is forceful and 

somewhat delightful, there’s a 

surge of energy at all points that 

is rather wilful and tempting, and 

this from the entry-level model in 

the line-up. The 50 and iX M60 

have times of 4.6sec and 3.8sec to 

meet the legal limit respectively. 

Even so, the iX xDrive40 isn’t 

disgraced, it is pleasing to have 

that muscle on tap. However, I 

didn’t overly use the energy greatly, 

I was far more focussed on how 

far I could travel in the evaluation 

• Price – BMW iX xDrive40, 

$169,600

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 6.1sec 

car, given battery charge depletion 

in an electric vehicle is always on 

my mind. 

In terms of charging, it comes 

with the standard cables – one for 

plugging into a DC charge port, 

and an AC 3-pin cable for a domestic 

outlet. I used the latter all 

the time and it’s fair to say an extra 

metre or two in length would 

have been ideal. Some car makers 

include cables of generous length, 

I’d be looking for something a bit 

longer to suit my unique situation 

in terms of where I take power 

from. Of course, a designated 

wallbox for the home is the ideal 

solution. 

That aside, it’s all a very simple 

process to charge and one that 

certainly becomes habit. Arriving 

home after each journey I 

plugged in to keep 100 per cent 

showing. 

The iX xDrive40 is big and 

heavy –almost 5m and 2440kg 

– there’s no denying that, but it 

drives easily and there’s no feeling 

of bulk, the driving aids certainly 

help with that, and if a corner is 

presented a little on the quick side 

there is a secure and stable feeling 

from underneath. 

Huge tyres help, Pirelli 

PZeros are fitted, and with a 22in 

diameter there is a lot of rubber 

on the road, and I consider these 

to be some of the best tyres available. 

Contributing to that feel of 

sure-footedness is the drive that 

connects all four wheels. Well, 

there are two electric motors, one 

up front and one at the rear, they 

communicate with each other to 

provide the best available grip on 

all road surfaces. 

The global bid to reduce vehicle 

emissions and thereby create a 

healthier planet is showing no 

signs of slowing, instead it is 

ramping up dramatically and the 

groundswell is suggesting electricity 

is the way forward in terms 

of personal and public transport. 

With that, technology is 

changing rapidly to keep pace. 

What BMW has created in the 

iX series is just a hint of what 

we can expect going forward. As 

economies of scale kick in, the 

average income buyer may be 

able to sample that further down 

the track.

What an opportunity - 1.9 hectares Business 2 land 

An extremely rare opportunity to purchase 1.9 

hectares of Business Zone 2 land in the rapidly 

expanding town of Darfield. The options with this 

ideally shaped property are endless. Located close 

to several brand new residential subdivisions allows 

for a multitude of potential uses. An ODP road 

linking through to Creyke and Telegraph Road will 

be constructed on the Eastern boundary of this 1.9 

hectares allowing for excellent access and traffic 

flow. With the new mains sewer linked to Rolleston 

underway, Darfield is expanding at an alarming rate 

and is the choice of many to escape the city and enjoy 

a quieter life at a more affordable level. This property is 

located perfectly to take advantage of the now and the 

future of Darfield. An area of Business 2 land located 

next door is currently going through an application 

for rezoning to residential use, leaving this property 

to be the only large Business 2 land in this location. 

Already on-site is a substantial 300sqm tilt slab highstud 

workshop with three-phase power and a 130sqm 

home capable of being relocated. 

Viewing of this prime property is strictly by 

appointment only.

Karen Harper 

Property Brokers Rolleston 

This is what my clients say about me... 

“Karen has sold three properties for me 

this year, all rentals that required a great 

relationship with the tenants as well as 

finding buyers. It was interesting as some 

friends were selling very similar townhouse 

on the same street built by the same 

developer, they were staggered with the 

great outcome Karen achieved.” 

“Karen has been nothing but highly 

professional and extremely helpful in our 

dealings with her. She had all the necessary 

information about the property which 

allowed quick and thorough decisions to be 

made. I would highly recommend Karen to 

everyone.” 

If you are thinking of selling, I would love the opportunity 

to meet with you. Please call me anytime.
