Attendant coping after robbery

BY MYLES HUME

MYLES.H@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

The Netherby shop attendant who was held at knifepoint during an aggravated robbery this week is taking time away from work and being closely supported, the store’s owner says.

Yesterday, Netherby Four Square owner Marilyn Walker told the Guardian her employee was not physically harmed but deeply shaken by Tuesday’s incident and is now “coping with support”.

The female was locking the store about 9pm when a man, believed to be between 25 and 35 years of age, threatened her with a knife.

He demanded she re-enter the store and hand over cash from the shop’s office area.

He then made off in what is believed to be a dark blue vehicle.

Mrs Walker could not say when the shop attendant would return to work.

“What we want to say is the staff member is safe and followed correct procedure for an incident like this,” Mrs Walker said.

The shop has comprehensive sur-

veillance equipment and has now reviewed its security procedures, putting in more steps to beef up protection.

It is not the first time the shop has made headlines with multiple burglaries in recent years, as well as the Walkers’ daughter Erin, who recently featured in national media after she fought off a burglar in her Wellington flat.

The 21-year-old arrived home from university in August to find a man stealing electronic items from her home.

She tried to wrestle the bags off him, managing to grab one while the man made off with a bunch of items.

The man was eventually found by police.

After Tuesday night’s incident, Mrs Walker admitted her family had faced an unfortunate series of events.

Ashburton police are now seeking information on any suspicious behaviour in the Netherby area or information relating to this incident which can be passed on to Constable Glen Richardson on 03 307-8406 or via Crimestoppers on 0800 555-111.

Sexy voices plumb the depths

Toad on the menu?

Barry White’s seductive deep tones score over David Beckham’s squeaky speech when it comes to sexual conquest, a study has shown. Scientists found that men with masculine, low-pitched voices are better at attracting women – at least those looking for short-term flings. But the baritone bad boys were also seen as more likely to cheat and not viewed as marriage material. The study provides insights into the evolution of the human voice and mate selection. “The sound of someone’s voice can affect how we think of them,” said Dr Jillian O’Connor, from McMaster University in Canada.

Britons sometimes make fun of the French for feasting on frog. But now a new discovery suggests their prehistoric ancestors may have had a taste for toad. The University of Buckingham said yesterday that a promising excavation near Stonehenge has unearthed a host of clues about the diet of prehistoric Britons. Among them: A tiny, partially burnt leg bone which suggests the hunter-gatherers living in what’s now known as the United Kingdom snacked on amphibians. The charred bone was found alongside the remains of fish and aurochs — the wild ancestor of today’s cattle — at a site called Blick Mead in the town of Amesbury, about 135km west of London.

■ ASHBURTON REAL ESTATE

Strong demand for cheaper homes

By Sue NewmaN

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

The shape of Ashburton’s housing market is changing with demand running hot for cheaper homes while those with a $400,000 plus price tag are left looking for buyers.

Real Estate of New Zealand figures for September show that the number of properties changing hands was very high, at 55, but the median price for those homes was low, $268,000.

Those sales are being driven by competing interests with very different needs, says Prop-

erty Brokers sales agent Jenny Gray.

“People are opting for deadline sales now and we’re getting three, four or five offers in here. The young first home buyers are getting quite anxious.

They’re competing with developers and investors who are coming in with cash and blowing them away.”

Houses last month sold sometimes within a few days of listing, she said, with the month’s median number of days to sell just 26.

She said she knew of one young couple who had missed

out several times on a deadline sale who then paid $8000 over a listing price for a property just a day or so after it came on the market, to ensure they found a home.

While the homes that were selling well were in the price bracket that will eventually be affected by the Government’s new lending rules that require a 20 per cent deposit for a bank loan, Mrs Gray said this is not yet impacting on the market.

Often the potential buyers of the $400,000 houses that were slower selling were second home buyers moving up,

but quite often younger couples were opting to build rather than buy a good home that might need the interior upgraded.

That change in buying patterns and the growing demand in the $200,000 to $300,000 bracket was creating a listings pinch, she said.

With many loans pre-approved before October 1 not expiring until Christmas she said she had not noticed any change in the number of first home buyers coming to the market. It would take a couple of months for the new lending rules to impact, she said.

August’s median selling price was $275,000, in September last year it was $270,500.

Nationally 6720 houses changed hands in September, the highest number since September 2006. At the market peak in 2005 9186 sales were made in September.

The median sales price across New Zealand was $400,000, up from $371,000 in September last year. In Canterbury the median was $375,000, with 811 houses sold. Houses in Canterbury sold faster than anywhere else in New Zealand, with a median of 26 days to sell.

■ TINWALD FIRE DEATH

Family tried desperately to save victim His family tried desperately to get him help but chronic alcoholic Neil Donald Molloy refused to acknowledge he had a drinking problem.

And that refusal is what ultimately led to his death in a shed fire in November last year after he dropped a cigarette into his bedding.

This caught fire with the result, Coroner David Crerar said, that the inhalation of smoke and fumes led to his death.

In a report into the cause of Mr Molloy’s death, Mr Crerar said that while the deceased was not intoxicated at the time of his death, there was evidence he was suffering from the longterm effects of his excessive drinking.

At the time of his death he was drinking at least 24 stubbies of beer a day and it was that excessive drinking that his family had been trying to get him to face up to for years.

His drinking led him to become estranged from some of his family and to live the life of a hermit, his brother Lynton Molloy said.

“We all knew Neil had problems and it’s sad this happened, but it was going to happen some time. We did everything we could but at the end of the day it was up to him to want help,” he said.

His family refused to give up trying to get Mr Molloy to accept treatment for his alcoholism and had made renewed attempts to help him just a few weeks before his death, Lynton Molloy said.

In his written statement to the coroner, he described his brother as a chronic alcoholic and a heavy smoker.

He was the youngest of four brothers and had been married but his alcoholism resulted in

We all knew Neil had problems and it’s sad this happened, but it was going to happen some time

a separation. He had been in a Salvation Army alcoholic residential programme in Christchurch but returned to live and sleep in his workshop.

His bed was a camp stretcher on the floor of the office and he used a gas ring for cooking.

It was in that workshop that he died, surrounded by eight, 200 litre drums of empty stubby bottles and piles of books, papers and engineering equipment.

His brother was “a bit of a hermit”, and on one visit to his workshop, Mr Molloy said he had been disturbed by the mess his younger brother was living

- Lynton Molloy in. In mid-July he and his sons removed 20, 200 litre drums full of empty beer bottles.

The deceased had been a heavy drinker for years but following a fall from a ladder about 10 years ago he suffered head injuries from which he never fully recovered.

His ability to work decreased after the accident and his drinking increased, Mr Molloy said.

In spite of strenuous efforts by his family to get him help with his drinking, Mr Molloy said his brother would not accept he had a problem.

This was in spite of him having been convicted three times

for driving with excess blood alcohol.

He said he didn’t want to dwell on his brother’s past and was happy to have the coroner’s findings so the family could move on.

“We’re happy with the report and with the findings and the way the process has been handled by the coroner and the police.”

Farmer Ross Stackhouse alerted emergency services to the early morning fire in Neil Molloy’s workshop on the corner of Bryant Street and Lagmhor Road after he spotted smoke coming from the building at about 6am that morning.

He called police and then kicked in the front door to find the room filled with smoke. He used a garden hose to put out the fire and called the fire brigade.

A fireman entered the building a short time later and found Mr Molloy’s body lying on the floor.

Mr Molloy’s death highlighted the importance of fitting smoke alarms in any building that was used as a dwelling says Ashburton fire safety officer Paul Tilsley.

Mr Molloy died on November 16 after a cigarette was dropped into bedding causing a fire in the bed clothes and paper and cardboard around the bed. He was found by coroner David Crerar to have died after inhaling smoke and fumes from the fire.

A correctly installed fire alarm could have resulted in a different outcome, Mr Tilsley said.

His death also highlighted the lethal potential of a cigarette if it was dropped on combustible material, he said.

“Obviously you should never smoke in bed or even in front of the TV at night if you’re tired and there’s a chance you might drop off to sleep.

“Drop a cigarette on a couch and it’s likely to catch fire. If a smoke alarm is installed then there’s an immediate early warning.”

At least one person dies every year in a fire in a shed, garage, caravan or other building used as a bedroom, Mr Tilsley said.

Since 2005 11 people have died in these types of fires.

Each year there are more than 300 fires in garages, sleepouts and caravans and in almost all cases the Fire Service finds that no smoke alarms were installed.

■ LEN BROWN AFFAIR

Council launches scandal inquiry Auckland Council chief executive Doug McKay has confirmed an inquiry into Len Brown’s spending in the wake of his sex scandal.

The decision was made following inquiries about whether Mr Brown’s affair breached the council’s code of conduct and conflict of interest policies.

Mr McKay said yesterday that the mayor has no council credit card and all invoices and payments from the mayoral budget are checked and ap-

proved by the chief of staff.

“I have received an assurance from both the mayor and his chief of staff that no mayoral office funds were used in relation to the mayor’s relationship with Ms Chuang.”

“However I have agreed to independently review this to confirm that is the case.”

Meanwhile, the woman who had an affair the mayor has a criminal conviction for logging into the email of the former head of the Auckland Museum.

Ms Chuang was charged with unlawfully accessing a computer system and later pleaded guilty.

Judge Phil Gittos refused her bid to be discharged without conviction in the Auckland District Court and she was fined $1000 to be paid to the museum.

Whaleoil yesterday alleged Mr Brown used his influence to help Miss Chuang to get a job at the council-run Art Gallery.

Miss Chuang said Mr Brown

acted as a referee for her when she successfully applied for a job at the council-run art gallery back in August last year.

Miss Chuang said Mr Brown was one of the referees she used on her CV, but did not believe she got the job because his name was used.

“I also had a few other references on the CV, including heads of business associations and the New Zealand Chinese Association, and Len was just one of five,” she said. - APNZ

Men’s clinic comes at an ideal time

By Myles HuMe

Myles.h@theguardian.co.nz

As the mental state of rural Mid Canterbury men becomes a major concern, a men’s health clinic – the first in more than a decade - could not come at a better time.

Wild storms, snow and droughts have plagued the district’s farmers during what some farming experts are calling a year from hell.

But luckily, for Mid Canterbury men from all walks of life the Methven Lions Club will be holding a Men’s Health Evening, putting the heart, diabetes, bowel cancer, urology and mental health under the spotlight.

The club’s immediate past president and project convener Peter Garde said it would be the first health evening held by the club since 2000.

He said the evening served as a time when many stoic men took stock and considered their health.

“The last one we had prompted two of our own club members to have a prostate check and they both came back positive. Luckily it was early on and so they were able to treat it - after that they were good as gold,” Mr Garde said.

Fallen trees, twisted irrigators and other damage have contributed to a “tough year” for Mid Canterbury farmers, prompting Mr Garde to encourage all those unsure about their health to come along and hear about issues that may af-

Young men heroes Three young Northland men usually known to police for all the wrong reasons turned heroes instead when they broke into a parked car to rescue a baby left locked inside.

Two of the windows were slightly open to let in air but the day had turned hot and sunny.

“You don’t have to be embarrassed, it’s not a place where people are going to point at you and ask questions, it’s about giving an overall view and encouraging guys to go have a warrant of fitness check-up,” Mr Garde said.

“You warrant your cars and tractors, so why no check up on your health?”

Lawyer suffered breakdown before death Defence lawyers are at a higher risk of suffering depression than people in other professions, partly because it is inevitable details of their clients’ crimes will impact on their psyche, a legal psychotherapist says.

The comments follow an inquest into the death of top lawyer Greg King who suffered a

In brief

“massive breakdown” after a high profile murder trial.

Coroner Garry Evans’ report painted a picture of Mr King’s depressed state before he was found dead in a Wellington suburb on November 3 last year.

It included excerpts from a suicide note in which Mr King described himself as “exhaust-

ed, unwell, disillusioned, depressed and haunted”.

Legal psychotherapist Steven Colligan said there was a relatively high percentage of people in the legal profession who suffered from depression.

“The legal profession, during their training are taught to look at the critical aspects - what they’re looking for is to

present arguments and be more critical thinkers so in essence be more pessimistic than optimistic.”

The emotional aspect of dealing with grisly cases, as well as the heavy workload and possibly poor diet and exercise routine would compound psychological problems, Mr Colligan said.

Murder ‘entirely preventable’

■ STORM CLEAN-UP

By Kurt Bayer

A team of South African irrigation specialists have had their visas fast-tracked to put them on the ground in the Ashburton District helping with the massive repair job on irrigators damaged in last month’s wind storm.

Extra help for irrigator repairs

By Janine Holland Immigration New Zealand has come to the aid of Canterbury farmers who were looking at a summer without irrigation after last month’s massive windstorm.

Close to 800 irrigators were destroyed or seriously damaged in the storm and the repair job was beyond the ability of Canterbury irrigation companies’ staffing resources.

IrrigationNZ chief executive Andrew Curtis said this could have created significant problems for farmers with the economic consequences rivalling last year’s drought.

One month on, however, a fast tracking of visas for overseas irrigation specialists has seen a

significant boost in resources, Mr Curtis said.

“It’s great to see the help that’s gone into getting irrigators back on track; the fasttracked visas are good news for those desperate for repairs.

“However we’re very aware that even with overseas assistance, the picture is grim for farmers whose irrigators require complicated rebuilds.”

Some farmers may be unable to irrigate before Christmas and this could mean reduced milk production, threats to crop viability and pressure on stock food supplies.

Ashburton’s Rainer Irrigation welcomed four centre pivot technicians from South Africa this week.

The overseas staff would see

a significant reduction in downtime for farmers, company assistant manager Lucas Cawte said.

“We’ve brought these guys in from to focus on pivots as these sustained the most damage and that’s where the pressure point will be. It was pretty short notice for visas but IrrigationNZ spoke with immigration and forwarded contacts and it was a straightforward process.

“The turnaround was about 24 hours and our guys are now here. That’s unheard of.”

Rainer Irrigation has already fixed a quarter of the irrigators on its books but Mr Cawte says those repair jobs don’t represent the scale of damage.

“We’ve focused on the ones with minimal damage using

Immigration New Zealand’s Assistant Area Manager Christchurch, Steve Jones, said the department was happy to work with IrrigationNZ to expedite the application process for offshore irrigation crew.

“We consider requests for urgent processing on a case by case basis and, where there are compelling reasons, we will prioritise the processing of applications lodged.”

A pensioner stabbed to death by her neighbour had raised concerns over his behaviour with her council landlords, and even called police just days before the fatal attack.

The family of Valmai Jean McFie, 67, say her July murder was entirely preventable, and are pleading with authorities to give them answers.

Colin Albert Hoani, 59, stabbed the recently retired Mrs McFie at least 17 times with a boning knife outside her Christchurch City Council housing flat after she allegedly made a racist remark towards him.

Yesterday Hoani was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum non-parole period of 10 years for the killing.

He says it came in a rare fit of rage.

The High Court in Christchurch, however, heard it was the savage culmination of a “history of disharmony” between the pair.

And Mrs McFie’s family say it was premeditated and had been building for some time.

It was one thing to come terms to with the “monster” who killed their beloved family member.

But it was another to “know something could have been done to avoid this unforgivable act”, said Mrs McFie’s niece Louise Wegner-Parker.

Her aunty had raised concerns with Hoani for more than 12 months, saying he was an ongoing “source of discontent”.

But the July 20 killing has left her family wondering: “Why wasn’t she protected”.

The city council yesterday confirmed that it is considering a review of inter-tenancy conflict.

Principal wants NZQA to get creative

BY MYLES HUME

MYLES.H@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

A Mid Canterbury principal is calling on the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) to show some creativity, after revelations pupils may have to pay to sit elite scholarship examinations.

Mount Hutt College principal John Schreurs believes cash bond arrangements or school subsidies may be a better way

Man drives over cliff A man was killed when his car plunged off a cliff north of Auckland following a pursuit by police yesterday.

The 45-year-old man’s car, which police had been following after receiving a call from a concerned relative, went off the cliff on a farm on Horsman Rd, between the West Auckland suburbs of Waitakere and Muriwai, just before 10.30am.

The car had driven off at speed when officers attempted to approach the man after he stopped at a residential property on nearby Wairere Road.

A short time later he drove the vehicle down a gravel road at speed before it went through a fence and across a steep paddock and off a bluff, police said.

A police Eagle helicopter, which had been tailing the man from the air, landed at the crash site to give first aid but the driver died at the scene.

Police said they were alerted by a relative at 9.30am that the man was in an agitated state, and there were “serious concerns for his welfare”.

to ensure pupils turn up to endof-year scholarship examinations instead of proposed plans to charge $30 for each paper pupils want to sit from 2015.

Scholarship exams are tailored for highly academic pupils who can receive cash grants towards tertiary study, and are run alongside regular end-ofyear NCEA examinations.

Currently, pupils can sit three scholarship exams for free if they have paid a $76.60 NCEA

exam fee, but if they want to sit more than three scholarship exams, each paper costs $76.60.

Mr Schreurs understood why NZQA wanted to impose the $30 fee as many pupils decided not to show up to the exams, but he believed there was a chance it could discourage pupils from sitting the exams.

“I think NZQA could be a bit more creative, maybe if someone turned up to the exam they should get a refund, another

way may be schools could subsidise the fee for students they believe would benefit from the exams,” he said.

“We certainly want to encourage people to turn up and have a go.”

Mr Schreurs said “it was very frustrating” for schools and NZQA when pupils did not show for scholarship examinations.

He referred to a recent incident when a school opened for a

single student on a Saturday for them to not turn up.

NZQA said more than a quarter of the 10,000 entrants last year failed to show, and if it cut that number significantly it could save up to $100,000.

Last year a handful of pupils sat scholarship exams at Mount Hutt College but fell short of passing, while four pupils from Ashburton College managed to land $500 grants to kickstart their tertiary years.

Stars come out to play

Proudly sponsored by ASHBURTON

The undisputed rivalry between Australasia’s sporting stars was alive and well in Ashburton yesterday.

Former All Black Marc Ellis and Australian rugby league great Laurie Daley deviated off State Highway One with 18 other celebrities to mix with locals, as they competed in the ANZA Challenge.

The Halberg Disability Sport Foundation is the driving force, being the recipient of the funds raised by the likes of rugby league great Wendell Sailor, sports broadcaster James McOnie and Olympic rower Joseph Sullivan who are representing their homelands in a multisport race around the country.

“Laurie (Daley) and I have a bit of a gentlemen’s agreement that we don’t bash each other, but the other athletes are so competitive out there on the bike today ... you have to remember these are professional athletes and a lot of them are using this as training too,” Mr Ellis said.

As the teams cycled through Ashburton toward their Dunedin destination,

Mr Ellis and Mr Daley took time for a mayoral reception with Angus McKay in town, before heading to Ashburton Intermediate where pupils eagerly awaited them at their sport star-themed muftiday.

“This is for a fantastic cause and everyone involved is so keen to help out those kids that may not be as lucky as you and I,” Mr Ellis said.

Sport Canterbury Mid Canterbury co-ordinator Jan Cochrane said several youngsters had benefitted from the Halberg Trust.

Recently, two local teens with disabilities were given swimming lessons, while another youngster was designed a unique tricycle thanks to the trust’s All Sports Activity Fund.

“It’s important to know all children with a disability are able to access this funding,” she said.

Yesterday’s 361km leg saw the teams run into Dunedin, with the Kiwis in the lead 3-0 from the first three days.

Today they head to Hamilton for a sprint to Auckland, before the teams sail the Waitemata Harbour as part of the final leg on Saturday.

With this year’s local body elections just five days behind them, members of the Ashburton Trust wasted no time getting down to business for the new term.

At the trust board’s first meeting the business of electing a new president and deputy president was quickly dealt with, with Alister Lilley being returned, unchallenged to lead the board for another term with Alan Neumann re-elected as deputy chair.

In early December the board will prepare a plan for the next three years and this will be key in ensuring the Trust was in a position to not only capitalise on new opportunities but also was able to maintain strong trading levels, Mr Lilley said.

“We’re also conscious of our debt levels and we need to look to a future where we will have a good solid base to keep investing in our outlets.”

The Hotel Ashburton was the trust’s key focus when it came to reinvestment and refreshing as this complex was viewed by the community as well as the trust as the hospitality flagship, he said.

■ AA LICENCE INITIATIVE

Moves to bring scheme here

By Myles HuMe

Myles.h@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton motorists wanting to take advantage of a free driving lesson initiative before sitting their restricted licence test will have to trek as far as Christchurch.

However, a local Automobile Association (AA) leader wants to bring the initiative to Mid Canterbury before the end of next year.

This week the AA announced it would begin a nationwide roll out of its free driving lesson programme, which will give learner drivers one free

professional driving lesson before they take their restricted licence test.

AA Canterbury/West Coast Council chairman John Skevington, who lives in Ashburton, said many young drivers “inherit the bad habits” of their parents, but the AA lesson would provide an opportunity to enhance their driving and a better chance of passing the restricted licence test.

However, if you are from Mid Canterbury there is a hitch.

After successful trials in the North Island, the initiative is set to be rolled out next month in Christchurch – the nearest

AA driving lesson location.

“But I will certainly be working on getting the free lessons here,” Mr Skevington said.

“With the growth of our district, getting someone established here as an AA driving instructor so people can sit lessons locally would be a good idea instead of having to travel to Christchurch.”

He said he had contacted a local driving instructor asking if they would consider taking on the role within the year.

New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) figures showed earlier this year only 46 per cent of learner drivers had

passed their practical restricted licence test in Ashburton since a tougher test was brought in last year. “There’s been some criticism about the new tests because it is harder to pass, but it’s necessary, in New Zealand it’s been too easy for a long time,” Mr Skevington said.

He believed the tougher tests were “putting better drivers on the road” and with the AA providing a free lesson for members it would further push the goal of reducing serious crashes on New Zealand roads.

The lessons will be an hour long and will introduce learner drivers to key driving skills.

■ FRUIT FUND

Filling a growing need in community By sue NewMaN

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

When Deirdre Moses saw a need in the community, she wasn’t content to sit back and wait for someone else to do something.

As the Ashburton beauty therapist listened to some of her teacher clients talk, she realised that a lack of good food among pre-school and school aged children wasn’t just something that belonged in cities.

The story they told was of need on her own doorstep.

Moved by the plight of children whose diet was far from satisfactory, Mrs Moses dug into her own pocket and started buying fruit and delivering it to schools and pre-schools.

“I realised that kids not having enough to eat is quite widespread here and that fresh fruit is often the big thing that’s missing.

“When I started dropping it off they were bowled over,” Mrs Moses said.

Initially she funded the service herself, but has now established an unofficial charity, Fruit Fund, and she’s hoping to attract donations.

Already several of her clients have joined up and she’s opened a bank account in the organisation’s name for people who

“It’s starting to grow. People are bringing fruit along and they’re bringing money too.

I’ve been happy to put my own money into this but I’d love some help so I could do more because fresh fruit is out of reach for some,” she said.

The fund has been running

for three weeks and Mrs Moses is now talking to supermarkets about the possibility of having Fruit Fund bins for donations.

She already has people with fruit trees wanting to donate surplus fruit and hopes people will also be happy to make monetary donations.

Rather than lump sum dona-

tions, a $1 and $2 weekly commitment is better because that will ensure the longevity of the programme, she said.

Solicitor General eyes Banks’ court case

Shooting sentence

by Wellington man Graham McCready. The Act party leader resigned his ministerial portfolios shortly afterward.

Mr McCready was contacted

by Solicitor General Michael Heron, QC, on Wednesday saying he was now reconsidering intervening in the case in light of Banks’ committal.

The potential for Crown Law to take over prosecution was welcomed by Mr McCready, despite saying earlier he thought the Crown had a conflict of interest. “What we’ve decided is we’ll let them do it and we’ll see what happens,” he said.

He said it would free up the New Zealand Private Prosecu-

tion Service resources to pursue other cases.

Banks’ press secretary said he was aware of the situation, and it didn’t change anything.

The Act leader is alleged to have knowingly filed a false election return following his 2010 failed Auckland mayoral bid.

Bushfires taking hold It will be miraculous if no lives are lost to bushfires in NSW, Premier Barry O’Farrell says. Hundreds of properties are feared destroyed in bushfires around the state, with up to 30 known to be lost at Springwood, in the Blue Mountains.

Mr O’Farrell said that despite a change cooling the weather where fires were burning, the danger was not over. “It has been a difficult, damaging and dangerous day and these conditions are not going to be over quickly,” he said at Rural Fire Service headquarters yesterday.

Mud swallows houses Rescuers in Japan have been picking through mud and broken buildings after a typhoon killed at least 18 people, as hopes fade for dozens still missing following a landslide that engulfed their homes. Hundreds of police, firefighters and troops searched through the night in an area where houses were swallowed when a mountainside collapsed. Typhoon Wipha, dubbed the strongest in a decade, never actually made landfall as it surged past Japan, but searing winds and torrential rain set off mudslides that buried neighbourhoods on Oshima.

At least 17 people died and 39 people were still missing.

that Washington must stop governing by crisis.

US leaders needed to “earn back” the trust of the American people in the aftermath of the crisis, Obama said.

“We’ll begin reopening our government immediately, and we can begin to lift this cloud of uncertainty and unease from our businesses and from the American people.”

With a bitterly divided congress locked in stalemate for a month, Senate majority leader Harry Reid worked behind closed doors with his Republican rival Senator Mitch McConnell to craft the compromise that had eluded Washington.

“The bipartisan Senate rose to the occasion and broke this deadlock,” No.2 Senate Democrat Dick Durbin said.

The mood from many House Republicans was a begrudging acceptance of a deal many of them felt failed to address their desire to rein in outsized federal

spending and roll back the president’s healthcare law known as “Obamacare”.

House budget chairman Paul Ryan, who voted against the bill, called it a “missed opportunity”.

“Today’s legislation won’t help us reduce our fast-growing debt,” he said. “In my judgment, this isn’t a breakthrough. We’re just kicking the can down the road.”

In early market reaction, stocks in Asia rose.

While the deal was welcomed on Wall Street, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the broader S&P 500 index up almost 1.4 per cent, the signs of a close-to-humiliating, lastminute bid to avert possible global economic turmoil were plain to see.

The International Monetary Fund’s managing director, Christine Lagarde, who over the past week had pleaded with US legislators to come to their senses,

praised them for taking the “necessary step” of lifting the debt ceiling.

“Looking forward, it will be essential to reduce uncertainty surrounding the conduct of fiscal policy by raising the debt limit in a more durable manner,” she said.

After the agreement House Speaker John Boehner bowed to the inevitable and admitted there were “no reasons” to vote against the bill, while maintaining that Republicans didn’t like its terms.

“We fought the good fight, we did everything we could. They just kept saying no, no, no,” Boehner said of lawmakers in Obama’s Democratic Party.

“Our drive to stop the train wreck that is the president’s healthcare law will continue,” Boehner added, apparently seeking to placate Republicans.

The legislation would allow government to borrow beyond its current $US16.7 trillion debt ceiling to meet its obligations. - AFP

In brief

Congress pulls back from brink The US has dodged the ignominy of a disastrous debt default as congress passed and President Barack Obama signed a bill extending the nation’s borrowing authority and ending a two-week government shutdown.

After weeks of tumultuous debate, the measure passed with less than two hours to go until October 17, the date from which the Treasury had warned it might not be able to pay its bills.

The last-gasp plan will stave off the most pressing crisis by extending the US Treasury’s borrowing authority until February 7. Lawmakers also reached agreement on funding government through January 15.

Obama signed the bill in the wee hours of Thursday, shortly after the congressional green light.

But amid the collective sigh of relief, there was also a patent sense that bitterly divided Washington - which has endured several nail-biting spats of budget brinkmanship in recent years - had simply kicked the can down the road, yet again.

Indeed, both the spending and debt ceiling provisions only last until early next year, setting the stage for more confrontation.

Still, the fix, albeit temporary, was welcomed.

“We’re back from the #shutdown! Smithsonian museums will reopen on Thursday and the @NationalZoo will reopen on Friday,” the Smithsonian said in a tweet.

Hundreds of thousands of federal workers were instructed to “reopen offices in a prompt and orderly manner”, according to a statement from Office of Management and Budget director Sylvia Mathews Burwell.

Debris was seen floating in the river at the scene of the disaster, while suitcases were wedged in mud on the riverbank, according to an AFP reporter.

Backpacks, an aeroplane propeller and passports were among the debris scattered on the riverbank where the Lao Airlines turboprop plane apparently hit hard before skidding into the water and sinking on Wednesday, AP reported.

Around a dozen rescuers were using a crane perched on a

floating platform in the middle of the Mekong yesterday to try to winch the submerged aircraft from the river, which was swollen by a recent tropical storm.

Divers from a Thai rescue team were on the scene to assist in the operation. Some bodies were found as far as 20 kilometres from the crash site. - AFP

Scientology conviction France’s top appeals court has upheld a fraud conviction and fines totalling hundreds of thousands of euros against the Church of Scientology, for taking advantage of vulnerable followers. The Cour de Cassation yesterday rejected the organisation’s request that a 2009 conviction for “organised fraud” be overturned on the grounds it violated religious freedoms. From their Los Angeles headquarters, the group slammed the court ruling as “an affront to justice and religious liberty,” in a statement that accused the French government of “anti-religious extremism”. The original ruling dealt a blow to the secretive movement best known for its Hollywood followers, such as Tom Cruise and John Travolta.- AFP

Thugs need to be caught soon Coen Lammers EDITOR

N

etherby retailers and their regular shoppers are all in shock after the cowardly armed robbery of the local Four Square supermarket on Tuesday night.

The staff member who had to endure the ordeal at knifepoint is reeling, along with the owners, who must be wondering why their establishment has become a repetitive target for local thugs.

Hopefully the police will be able to find the culprit soon and give some piece of mind to the local retailers and residents.

Meanwhile, the family running the Four Square has opted to beef up security, which will hopefully send a warning to any future offenders.

And who can blame them after a smash and grab incident last year cost them thousands of dollars in repairs, which followed an earlier attack in 2011 when some idiots smashed a window to gain access to some beer and wine.

The loot for these robbers may be small, but the impact on the owners and the wider community is substantial, which should be reflected when any of these criminals is charged.

There is always a risk running a shop that closes late at night and especially when it sells alcohol on its premises, but no-one deserves the trauma the Four Square staff and owners have had to put up with.

Sadly, they are not alone as late night goons roam the street looking for opportunities, or simply some entertainment. We may just be talking about a handful of thugs, but their activities are enough to send shivers up the spines of local residents.

The elderly that live on their own feel especially vulnerable.

I just have to look at my own 79-year-old mum, who was unfazed by World War Two or the Canterbury earthquakes, but has been jittery since she was burgled last year.

Seeing that, it is vital for local police to show they can catch these criminals to give a concerned community a sense of security.

Free stuff is sometimes best Phill Hooper OFF THE AIR

L

ast week, as I do every school holidays, I took the week off work and spent it with my two kids.

For the past couple of years we have been getting the map of the South Island out and picking places they haven’t been to and headed there for a couple of nights at least. This time it was Greymouth and the Coast’s turn to host a Hooper adventure.

I thought the three-and-ahalf hour drive will be okay, not too long and boring for an 11-year-old and 13-yearold. Well that was the plan anyway. Of course, last week the weather turned to custard, remember the hail?

Wednesday morning, our departure day, Arthur’s Pass was closed and hoping to open late morning but chains were essential. Being a soft radio announcer, I thought, chains sod that for a game of soldiers, we’ll go via Lewis Pass.

It’ll only add an hour or so on to our journey and we’re in no rush.

God bless technology (on this occasion) I checked the road conditions at the turn-off to Arthur’s Pass and YUSS!!

It was open and no chains required.

Arthur’s Pass township was covered with thick snow, so that broke up the trip nicely when we got out and had a play in it for a while (I mean the kids had a play in it). Listening to McKenzie (11 going on 28) telling Josh off for creating “yellow snow” and the danger he had added to some poor small child’s life, who happened to stumble across the said snow and thought ‘yum, I’ll eat me

A trip to the Pancake Rocks and Blowholes was on Hoops’ West Coast adventure during the school holidays.

This week’s funny from Hoops in the Morning Facebook Page.

some of that’, was very amusing.

Josh briefly tried to defend himself with an Attenborough(ish) address on nature’s cycle, but gave up under cross examination.

The best part of the trip over the hill was McKenzie exclaiming: “Well that trip was really cool, I thought it was gonna be boring as.”

We checked into our cabin at the holiday park by the beach, the kids had a good-natured discussion (Tui billboard) on who would sleep in the second double bed for the first

night and then off we went to Shanty Town. Seventy dollars later (thank god for the singleparent family special) off we went wandering around the attraction. I was thinking, ‘wow there must be some cool new additions to this place since I was here as a kid a few (cough) years ago’. Yeah, Na. It was pretty much as I remember it, except for the amount of gold in the little vial of water after the kids did their panning.

They did enjoy the gold panning, but apart from that found it “pretty boring”.

Day two started with a trip

to Classic Hits to say hi, a drive to the Pancake Rocks and Blowholes, a walk down Trueman’s Track to the beach and waterfall, three hours hydrosliding at the Aquatic Centre and a tour through the refurbished Monteiths Brewery (all good upbringings include a brewery tour, don’t they?) $27 for the three of us hydrosliding was great value and we had a blast (I mean the kids had a blast).

The Monteiths tour was also great value at $20 for me, with kids for free. That included the tour and four glasses of their product afterwards and lemonade for the kids. Good educational (cough) stuff !

Day three we went to Hokitika and included watching glass blowing, a visit to the Kiwi House and then a 10-minute drive south to the Tree Top Walk.

I’m sad to say the Kiwi House was really run down but we did get to see a Kiwi up close, so that was “pretty sick” (good).

The Tree Top walk was great, a steel walking platform, that’s wheelchair friendly, 20 metres high amongst the trees with a 47-metre tower to climb up as well.

All three of us thought it was a great way to finish our visit to the Coast, well that and the home-made chicken pies at Springfield on the way home.

So what was the highlight of the trip for the kids? I was pleasantly surprised when they both said the walk down Trueman’s Track.

Just goes to show you, that sometimes the free stuff is best and, even more surprising, sometimes a brother and sister can agree on something!

Till next Friday.

Danone: Scare cost us $500m

BY CHRISTOPHER ADAMS French food giant Danone says it will lose more than half a billion dollars in sales in the current financial year as a result of Fonterra’s botulism false alarm.

The Paris-based company’s infant formula products were recalled in eight countries, including New Zealand and China, after Fonterra wrongly suspected that 38 tonnes of whey protein had been contaminated with a botulism bacterium.

Danone was hardest hit in China, where consumers remain highly sensitive to food safety scares following the 2008 melamine scandal, when six babies died and thousands more became sick after consuming dairy products tainted with the industrial chemical.

In New Zealand, Danoneowned Nutricia had to recall 67,000 cans of its Karicare in-

fant formula brand. The company said the incident would have a “significant impact”on its 2013 results, with full-year lost sales estimated at 350 million euro (NZ$562.2 million) and lost margin estimated at 280 million euro (NZ$449.8 million). Sales in its baby nutrition division fell

8.6 per cent to 924 million euro (NZ$1.5 billion) in the third quarter as a result of the contamination scare.

Danone has said it wants “full compensation” from Fonterra for damages caused to its business during the botulism scare.

“It’s been a long time since New Zealand can claim such rock star status.”

A net 34 per cent of the 981 respondents to the survey deemed it a good time to buy a major household item, still strong though at a 7-month low and down from 36 per cent in September.

Still a net 7 per cent of consumers said they were better off than a year ago, an improvement on minus 4 per cent in the previous month.

ANZ New Zealand chief economist Cameron Bagrie said in his report.

The combination of consumer confidence and business sentiment surveys signal an economy in a firm economic expansion with the potential to grow at an annual pace of almost 4 per cent, he said.

Business confidence climbed to a five-year high in September, according to the ANZ Business Outlook survey released on September 30.

KiwiSaver age tiers ruled out The government has settled on keeping the existing investment mandate for default KiwiSaver providers to manage funds conservatively, fending off attempts to implement a tiered approach based on a members’ age.

Finance Minister Bill English and Commerce Minister Craig Foss yesterday announced

the government’s decision on the default provider review launched in November last year, keeping the conservative mandate which requires those funds to invest between 15 and 25 per cent in growth assets.

Fund managers had been pressing for a ‘lifecycle’ approach for default funds, which links the level of risk to an in-

vestor’s age, claiming the conservative option meant members were missing out on about $72,000 each in returns.

“The government believes it should take a risk-averse approach, as the default provider arrangement is making initial investment decisions on behalf of others,” English said in a statement.

■ SMARTWATCH WATCH

In brief Radical horseshoes Horse racing records around the world may be smashed after Australian scientists unveiled world-first, stunning new shoes that will slash the weight of the a racehorse’s normal footwear.

Standard cast-aluminium horse shoes weigh about one kilogram each. But the boffins at the CSIRO are 3D printing titanium sets which should weigh 50 per cent less. If the fancy new shoes are widely adopted experts predict lightning-quick thoroughbreds to race down the track like supercharged rockets. “Naturally, we’re very excited at the prospect of improved performance from these shoes,” said top trainer John Maloney, whose gelding Such Hope was the first in the world to be fitted with the jazzy 3D printed shoes.

Rhino microchips

Sony timepiece cheaper, more compatible Sony says its new computerised wristwatch will sell for $200 in the US and will work with a variety of Android phones.

Sony’s SmartWatch 2 hasn’t gotten as much attention as Samsung Electronics Co.’s Galaxy Gear, but it’s cheaper and compatible with a broader range of phones.

The Gear costs $300 and currently works only with the company’s Galaxy Note 3 phone.

Unlike the Gear, however, Sony’s watch doesn’t let you make phone calls directly through the wristwatch.

You can answer calls using the watch, but you need a Bluetooth wireless headset linked to the phone if you don’t want to hold it to your ear.

Sony Corp. said that the watch is available immediately

through the company’s physical and online stores. Other online retailers will also sell it.

As more people own smartphones and tablets, consumerelectronics companies are creating a new category of products to give consumers more ways to stay connected - and to spend money.

Qualcomm Inc. also plans to release a smartwatch in time for the holidays, while Apple is widely believed to be developing an iWatch.

The company said its smartwatch is designed to perform common tasks such as checking texts and email, liking Facebook posts and getting calendar reminders.

“The average smartphone user reaches for their device more than 100 times per day to check

text messages, read emails and social network notifications and of course, to check the time,” Ravi Nookala, US president of Sony Mobile Communications, said in a statement.

“SmartWatch 2 makes these core tasks easier, and does much more with apps available, for everything from productivity to fitness and games.”

SmartWatch 2 is designed to complement a phone - specifically those running Android 4.0 or later.

Sony promises three to four days of battery life between charges, compared with about a day for the Gear.

The display measures four centimetres diagonally, the same as the Gear.

Separately, Sony has announced the United States av-

ailability of two new phones: - The Xperia Z Ultra is a larger version of its Xperia Z waterproof smartphone. It has a 16.26-centimetre screen, which is among the largest out there.

A standard version will retail for $650, while a faster, 4G LTE version will sell for $680.

- The Xperia Z1 is a (12.7-centimetre phone that sports a massive 20.7-megapixel camera and is capable of attaching better lenses.

That retails for $670.

The phones won’t be locked to a specific wireless carrier, but they won’t work with Verizon or Sprint’s network.

Sony did not announce plans for locked, subsidised versions that require two-year service agreements.

Kenya will place microchips in the horn of every rhino in the country in a bid to stamp out a surge in poaching the threatened animals.

“Poachers are getting more sophisticated in their approach,” Paul Udoto, spokesman for the Kenya Wildlife Service, said yesterday. “So it is vital that conservation efforts also follow and embrace the use of more sophisticated technology to counter the killing of wildlife.” Kenya has just over 1000 rhino, and the tiny chips will be inserted and hidden in the horn, which is made of keratin, the same material as fingernails or hardened hair.

Flying saucer campus Apple’s plan to build a verdant new campus crowned with a shimmering flying-saucer shaped headquarters has been cleared for launch. Officials in the Silicon Valley city of Cupertino, which has long been home to the culture-changing technology titan, unanimously endorsed a grand vision put in motion years ago by late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs.

In documents filed with the city, “Apple Campus 2” is described as a 21st Century creation designed for research, collaboration, and innovation. “This new development will provide a serene environment reflecting Apple’s brand values of innovation, ease of use and beauty,” Apple said - AFP

In brief Marquez the man Only a mechanical mishap or uncharacteristic mistake will stop Marc Marquez from becoming the youngest ever MotoGP world champion at Phillip Island on Sunday, according to five-time winner Mick Doohan. The 20-year-old Spanish rookie only needs to finish eighth or better to clinch the 2013 crown at the Australian Grand Prix, provided rival Jorge Lorenzo fairs worse. Marquez holds a com-manding 43-point series lead over Lorenzo, whom he pipped for second place at last Sunday’s Malaysian GP in Sepang. “The championship is his to give up at the moment - although the likelihood of that is very, very remote,” Doohan said yesterday.

Dodgers stay alive Adrian Gonzalez clubbed two homers and Carl Crawford and AJ Ellis added solo shots as Los Angeles beat St Louis 6-4 to stay alive in the Major League Baseball playoffs. Gonzalez’s 428-foot blast in the third inning yesterday was the first home run of the National League Championship Series for the Dodgers, who finished with four homers to cut the Cardinals’ lead in the best-of-seven set to 3-2. Both previous times the Cardinals have held a 3-1 series lead in the NLCS they went on to lose, including last year when the San Francisco Giants rallied to beat them 4-3. Atlanta did it to them in 1996.

Local cricket missing major player

By Jonathan Leask

jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

There is one major difference to the 2013-14 senior cricket season, as for the first time in living memory there is no Fairfield.

The club based at Fairton struggled for numbers over the past few seasons but were particularly plagued for a regular 11 last year.

“We were struggling last year and it was looking to be the same this year,” Ryan Cockburn, Fairfield’s captain last season, said.

“We had a few guys keen to play but after the debacle we

had last year we just couldn’t do it again.”

That leaves the club that had its first game in 1899 without an open grade team for the first time since World War Two and a very rare season in over 110 years that a Fairfield side won’t be seen on a Saturday.

The club’s players that were still keen to play have since joined other teams and Cockburn hoped the team could return next season, but as player numbers seem to be an issue in other clubs as well it remains doubtful.

The Fairfield grounds will

still be utilised during the season for representative fixtures and some club games.

Fairfield’s withdrawal leaves just six teams in the senior ranks with the season under way last weekend with a rainaffected round of Twenty20.

The second week of the fastpaced T20 action has round one winners Allenton meeting Methven, who were wellbeaten at home by Lauriston in their only game of week one.

Coldstream has a clash with Lauriston and the two Tech sides, the five-time defending champion Sharks and the Stags,

will go head-to-head in round three.

Round four has Methven meeting Coldstream and Allenton going up against Lauriston, while the Tech teams have the bye.

The Ashburton College 1st XI will start their season trying to squeeze two-days into one.

College’s opening day of the two-day match against South West Cricket to re-start the second half of their season was called off last Saturday, leaving the sides with a big day’s play to find a result tomorrow.

Williamson becoming Black Caps’ kingpin DaviD Leggat At Eden Park as New Zealand strove for a series-winning victory over England in March, it was Kane Williamson who utilised final afternoon conditions better than the senior spinner, Bruce Martin.

While Martin laboured unconvincingly and without success, Williamson whistled out key batsman Alastair Cook and nightwatchman Steven Finn to open the door late on the fourth

day, then removing Stuart Broad and James Anderson in the dying overs gave New Zealand four overs to remove Monty Panesar, which they couldn’t.

New Zealand coach Mike Hesson is wary of piling up Williamson’s responsibilities.

His primary role is at No3, and his fourth test hundred in Chittagong last week, raising his average to 34, rammed home his importance to the batting operation.

“Twelve months ago he was

hardly bowling so he’s changed a lot in that,” Hesson said.

“We’re not going to push his loads through the roof. He’s batting No3 for us so it’s a matter of balancing that out.”

However there are intriguing subplots to come out of his burgeoning spin work. Might he become a viable second spinner/fifth bowling option? If so, could that open the door to rejigging the composition of the test XI in certain conditions?

While he’s unlikely to mark

out his runup much in, say, early-season English conditions, he could be a real asset on the subcontinent. That said, it’s worth remembering he took four wickets at Leeds last May, when it wasn’t exactly sweltering and turning square - good ones too, Ian Bell twice, Cook and Nick Compton.

He’s already an integral part of the limited-overs bowling setup. A similar importance in the test arena may not be far away.

Wallabies challenged Coach Ewen McKenzie has challenged the Wallabies team to reproduce the sort of form that spanked Argentina against the All Blacks on Saturday. Overcoming the world champions, unbeaten on their home turf in 29 Tests since mid-2009, sounds a nearimpossible task for a Wallabies team that has won just three of nine Tests this year. But McKenzie is having none of that. “You’ve got to fancy your chances,” McKenzie said.

“Hopefully we’ve bottomed out and are now climbing.”

Pay cut ok says Genia Wallabies halfback Will Genia says he understands a middle ground may have to be found following calls for the cash-strapped code to slash player payments.

A new Collective Bargaining Agreement is set to end the days of Australian rugby players earning a guaranteed $14,000 per Test win, loss or draw. The ARU board meets on Monday to discuss ongoing negotiations with the Rugby Union Players’ Association, after the code posted a $19 million deficit in the past two years.

Mexico says’ gracias’ Mexicans never imagined being in this position: Having to shamefully say “gracias” to bitter rivals the US for helping keep their football team alive for next year’s World Cup. Losing to Costa Rica 2-1, Mexico were flirting with disaster until Uncle Sam, who had already qualified, rode to the rescue at the 11th hour by scoring two stoppage time goals to defeat Panama 3-2. The US victory torpedoed Panama’s dream of qualifying while helping Mexico finish fourth and secure a two-leg playoff against NZ next month.

West Coast may have the inside running The West Coast will have some insight into Mid Canterbury heading into Saturday’s semifinal clash, with their assistant coach Sean Cuttance being a former coach of the Methven seniors.

The former Crusaders hooker coached the Methven side in 2011 before moving onto coach Sydenham in the Christchurch Metro competition for the past two years, and he joined Allan Lindsay as a new coaching combination in Greymouth this year.

Mid Canterbury got a look at the West Coast in a pre-season fixture in Sheffield back in August, where Mid Canterbury held a comfortable lead before the Coasters ran in three tries in the final 10 minutes of a 90-minute game for a 33-21 final score.

The West Coast boast a strong forward pack that includes regular import flanker Rowan O’Gorman and the aggressive lock Josh Manning, both from Marist-Albion in Christchurch.

A new recruit this season, first five eighth Tim Priest is fifth on the points scorers’ list with 85, all off the boot, while Mid Canterbury’s Murray Williams is third on 99 (2 tries, 16 conversions, 18 penalties and a dropped goal).

As for comparative results during the round robin, they both lost to fellow semi-finalist North Otago, while they have recorded victories over Buller, Poverty Bay and South Canterbury.

In round three Mid Canterbury were able to beat Wairarapa Bush, which meets North Otago in Timaru in the other semi-final, 29-23 a week after the Bush beat the West Coast 32-12.

Mid Canterbury then beat Thames Valley 44-11 in round seven a week after the West Coast lost 18-3.

Who wants it most?

BY JONATHAN LEASK

JONATHAN.L@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Mid Canterbury coach Glenn Moore expects nothing less than a torrid battle with West Coast in the Meads Cup semifinal in the Heartland Rugby Championship tomorrow.

“They have as much to play for as we have, and it comes down to who wants it the most and does the most on the day to win it,” Moore said.

Moore took over the team this season and introduced a “high risk” attacking game plan, explaining that if “you play conservative you might win a few games but not the competition”.

So far the change of tactic has worked, and the Hammers come into the playoffs with plenty of momentum.

The knockout scenario won’t alter Mid Canterbury’s expansive approach, especially after last week’s confidence boosting bonus-point win over Buller, the former equal-best defensive unit.

“It still comes down to restarting each week and making sure our focus is right.

“We’ll be trying to play to our strengths and that’s about attacking the right areas, playing the game at the right pace

and dominating possession.”

Mid Canterbury have the second best attacking record, only bettered by South Canterbury after their blow-out wins over three of the bottom-four sides in the final three weeks, and hold the best defensive record in the competition, scoring 232 points and only conceding 131.

West Coast on the other hand have scored 190 and conceded 173, winning four of their six games by five or less utilising a big forward pack to out-muscle their opponents.

“They have a good forward pack that is probably the biggest in the competition, and they certainly like to use those guys to carry the ball.

“We have fronted up in recent weeks as well and while we don’t have the biggest forward pack we have big hearts.”

If it comes to a close game Mid Canterbury can rely on another masterstroke from Moore, who managed to secure the service of Murray Williams.

The experienced first-five has shown immense class in directing the side around the park and putting the ball between the posts with regularity, with it handy to have a guy who can pop them over from halfway.

The Hammers have also had consistency across the park, with only one change to the 22 that claimed the win over Buller, with Johannes Lambrechts starting Saturday’s game on the wing, pushing Nete Caucau to the bench in what is a straight swap.

The other Meads Cup semifinal has the resurgent north Otago host Wairarapa Bush in Oamaru.

The Bush won’t be concerned at North Otago’s home field advantage, opening the season with a 20-18 win in Oamaru, however it is the host that carry the momentum into the knockout stages.

North Otago lost their opening two games but then won six on the trot, including a win at home over Mid Canterbury 1918, to qualify second.

Bush also had six wins throughout the round robin but were one point shy of the Old Golds after falling to Thames Valley 15-23 last week, with their only other loss at the hands of Mid Canterbury 2329 in Ashburton.

In the Lochore Cup South Canterbury have Thames Valley in Timaru and Wanganui are at home to Buller.

Little has changed with the Voice and Whisper routine.

Cory Jane and Ben Smith were paired in public yesterday as an entree to their All Black partnership in Dunedin on Saturday.

It’s been almost a year since Jane last wore black but there was no quiet tread when he came into camp.

While Smith seems content to pick up his information quietly and make regular statements about his improvements on the pitch, Jane is in his hyperactive mode.

He is a restless, energetic soul whose playing style mirrors those emotions. His choppy short gait motors him down the right hand flank and other areas of the park as he flits about his rugby domain.

Jane is always on the prowl, forever it seems in motion whether he is waiting for the team bus to take the squad to training or at the practice sessions.

Even when he is forced to sit down for a formal chat with the

media Jane balances on the edge of his chair or interacts with his team-mate or television cameramen.

Getting him to concentrate throughout an All Black planning meeting must be a mission or a very short conference.

He has tracts of energy which help to cope with life at home and his family of four kids. It also helped him recover thoroughly from his pre-Super 15 knee injury and convince the All Black selectors he was fit, after two ITM Cup matches, for a return to test rugby.

All Black coach Steve Hansen did not take long to be convinced. “It’s great to have Cory Jane back,” he said. “He has been a world-class performer and we are looking forward to seeing him back in the black jersey.”

Jane is serious about his rugby and at 30 and with a lighter frame he knows he has to keep improving his fitness and skills to stay ahead of the rest. And behind the public jester there is a determination to be the best and flaunt those talents. - NZH

Mid Canterbury softball gets into full swing tomorrow with the opening day of the season at Argyle Park. T-ball, under 11 and under 13 little league all have games in the morning from 9am with 28 junior teams across the three grades. The senior mixed competition gets under way with the Rusty Demons having a double header, up against the Renegades and then the Fairfield Marines while the other match has the Hampstead Hawks against the Rebels.

Tennis take two Mid Canterbury Tennis is hoping for a day of sunshine to complete a full day’s play at the Ashburton Trust Tennis Centre tomorrow. Last week’s opening round had the juniors and A reserve all complete their games but the Open A grade was cut-short when the rain set in.

The second round has Hinds take on Tinwald, and Dorie get their first action on court after having a bye in round one up against Allenton, with Hampstead sitting out this week.

A reserve has Allenton up against the Foothill Flyers, Methven meet Hampstead Blue and Rakaia play Hampstead Ferns, with the junior grades on court in the morning.

City tennis a big challenge

By Jonathan Leask

jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Ashleigh Leonard and Stacey Hopwood will spend this summer taking on the best from the big city after being invited to play in the Canterbury Premier Women’s Interclub Tennis Competition.

The two 16-year-olds make their debut for Hagley Park in the first round against Waimairi tomorrow and are excited about the new challenge, but

expect it will be a bigger challenge.

“It will be a massive step up in playing level looking at some of the players we’ll be up against,” Leonard said.

The pair got a taste of the “next level” of tennis playing in the New Zealand under 16 championship tournament in Ashburton last year, and will now contend with the best open grade players in Canterbury on a weekly basis in a move that

will only be good for their progression.

“It is the logical progression for us,” Hopwood said.

The pair have worked their way up through the Mid Canterbury system together, starting in the Mid Canterbury Ace Squad and junior representative teams to become regular figures in the Mid Canterbury Open A grade competition for the past three seasons.

They were also members of

the first ever Mid Canterbury teams to contest the Canterbury challenger series, which was held on a Friday night last season, taking out the women’s division one.

They were eligible to play again and defend the title, with the challenger grade starting for the new season tonight, but with the travel already piling up each week have opted not to, focusing on their premier play.

More than players facing All Whites

By MichaeL Brown The Azteca Stadium has witnessed some of the biggest moments in World Cup history and it’s in this imposing arena the All Whites hope they can keep their World Cup dreams alive.

Estadio Azteca was built in 1966 in time for the 1968 Olympics.

It hosted Pele’s last international in 1970, a brilliant performance when Brazil beat Italy 4-1 in the World Cup final, and saw Diego Maradona at his best and worst when he scored twice (one was the Hand of God goal, the other voted Goal of the

Century by Fifa) against England in 1986.

When filled to its capacity of 105,000, it is a bubbling cauldron of noise, colour and smog.

It’s steeply banked seats are imposing and, sitting at 2200m, it’s a lung-bursting experience for visiting players.

It’s why it’s been a fortress for Mexico for so long. They remained unbeaten there in World Cup qualifiers until 2001 and their 2-1 defeat to Honduras last month was only their second in more than 70 qualifiers throughout history.

The aura of it has dissipated slightly in recent times - Mexico

emerged with only one win and three goals in five matches there during the Hexagonal - and the All Whites have to believe a result or narrow defeat is possible in the first leg.

The two teams will meet again in Wellington on November 20.

“It was pretty intense,” said All Whites coach Ricki Herbert, who witnessed Mexico’s final home game against Panama last weekend. “It’s a very passionate part of the world.

“In any sporting code, you want to test yourself against the best in the best environments.

And Mexico at the Azteca is certainly that.”

Mid Canterbury Bowls host the annual triangular representative fixture on Sunday across two greens. Mid Canterbury are up against South Canterbury and North Canterbury, with the men’s and development men’s teams playing at the Ashburton Bowling Club while the women’s and women’s development teams are at the Allenton Bowling Club. On Monday the Mid Canterbury Sub Centre holds its annual Over 70s fixture at the Rakaia Bowling Green.

England beat White Ferns England have produced a fivewicket win over the White Ferns in the second match of the Twenty20 tri-series at Kensington Oval in Barbados yesterday. Batting first, the White Ferns made 109-6, with captain Suzie Bates leading the way with 48. In response, English skipper Charlotte Edwards topscored with a knock of 42, while Tammy Beaumont came in and crunched an unbeaten 29 off 23 balls to complete the chase with five balls in hand.

SWB ‘will do it for Tohu’ The flak good friend Sonny Bill Williams copped over his World Cup backflip will make him lift his game to a scary new level for New Zealand and “do it for Tohu”, ex-Test prop Steve Price says. Price has been shaking his head over the barbs aimed at Williams since his World Cup change of heart forced Kiwi selectors to cut unlucky Melbourne forward Tohu Harris. But Price said his former ‘Dogs teammate would use the criticism to find another gear and “do Tohu proud” at the World Cup - a prospect the ex-Australian frontrower admitted frightened him. “If anything it makes him even scarier,” Price said. “He will make sure he does Tohu proud after taking his spot. “I hope he doesn’t hold up the World Cup trophy because that means Australia doesn’t.”

■ ASHBURTON

Bridgman can’t split top fillies As impressive as Spellbinder was in her last appearance, she hasn’t put a gap on stablemate Costa Viva in trainer Jason Bridgman’s mind.

The unbeaten O’Reilly filly demolished her rivals in the Listed Soliloquy Stakes at Ellerslie by six and a-half lengths to earn co-favouritism for next month’s Group 1 New Zealand Bloodstock 1000 Guineas.

Costa Viva also won on debut and followed up with a brave run for second in the Group 3 Gold Trail Stakes, and she will round off her preparation for the big Riccarton classic in Saturday’s Listed Ray Coupland Stakes at Ashburton.

“They are two top contenders and it’s very hard to assess them until they run against each other, but I just couldn’t split them at the moment,” Bridgman said.

“The Hastings race was always going to bring her (Costa Viva) on and certainly in her work it looks like it has.

“It’s her first trip away and she got there on Wednesday and I’m very happy with her.”

Costa Viva will be ridden again at Ashburton by Matt Cameron in preference to the untapped Chambord and the reliable Dreamer.

“It was Matt’s decision – he had the choice,” said Bridgman, who also rates Group 1 Sothys New Zealand 2000 Guineas prospect Chambord as a top prospect.

“He’s got all the ability in the world and he can hold his own in work with the fillies. He’s a raw talent and his challenge will be relaxing to get the mile at Riccarton.

“He’s got a lot of speed and we’ve got to teach him to relax and switch off – potentially he could be anything.”

Dreamer has finished runner-up in five of her seven appearances and Bridgman believes the step up to 1400 metres on Saturday will be to her advantage.

“It’s come at the right time and in her last couple of runs she has relaxed well,” he said.

“We’ll add the blinkers this time as well, and while the other two at home have got the wood on her, the distance will help.”

Super-boarders on the mountain

BY SUSAN SANDYS Superpipe snowboarder Torah Bright and other top name freestyle snow athletes have arrived in Methven ready to perfect some Olympic gold medal tricks.

The 26-year-old Aussie is hoping to take out gold for a second time in Sochi, Russia, at the winter games next year, and her time at Mt Hutt will be crucial to achieving that.

“This is our final little time to make it happen and be as happy as you can with your riding,” Bright said yesterday.

She is in Methven with other top name Olympic hopefuls Danny Davis, Hannah Teter and Gretchen Bleiler of America, Aymu Hiarno of Japan and Querald Castellet of Spain.

They are here for one month, to train at Mt Hutt, which is

constructing a superpipe and other freestyle terrain.

After the training camp they will head to northern hemisphere events and have little training time.

Bright arrived in Methven this week, minus her gold medal, achieved from a superpipe win in the 2010 Winter Olympics.

She had had little time to pack and could not find it.

“I get a few requests to take the medal places and it just stays where I last left it, it’s in the house somewhere.”

She was to get a friend to find it and send it over for her, so she would have it handy if she was asked to show it off.

“I guess the gold medal itself is just a symbol of what I have worked for for so many years,” she said.

Her favourite trick is a McTwist, or inverted (upside down) back side

540, and she will be perfecting these sorts of manoeuvres with the aid of air bags to provide a soft landing.

Actual events, such as the Olympics and XGames, have no such aids, and Bright said injuries were just the reality of the high impact sport.

Her colleague Danny Davis is also no stranger to injury. He was out all last year after breaking his femur. That was after recovery from other breaks, including his back, pelvis and ankles.

It was all thanks to “modern medicine” he was still snowboarding, he said.

The pair and their fellow athletes will hit the Mt Hutt superpipe for the first time on Saturday.

Winter is over, but not for famous snowboarder Torah Bright, in Methven for preOlympic training.
