INSIDE TODAY

Cher Lloyd criticises Lorde Singer Cher Lloyd has sparked a new war of words with outspoken teen Lorde after attacking the New Zealander for remarks she has made in tweets about Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez. The Royals singer recently took aim at Gomez’s Come & Get It and criticised Swift for being “so flawless and so unattainable”. Responding to Lorde’s tweets during a new interview with J-14.com, Lloyd says, “Why does she have to go do that? She’s doing so well – what a k**b. Why would she do that? She’s sitting at number one.” – WENN

Message ﬁnds its way to Norway A message in a bottle that was thrown into the sea by a “bored” schoolgirl while on holiday with her family in 1994 has washed up 19 years later. Lucy Elliott, now 31, wrote the letter during a family trip to Looe in Cornwall when she was 12 years old. She had been searching the beach for a lost bracelet when she became fed up and decided to pen the note. She stuffed it into a plastic drinks bottle and threw it into the English Channel. The Northampton Chronicle and Echo reports the note was found 1207km away, near Hauge on the south coast of Norway, by Kurt Johnny Haaland when he was out hiking. – PA

Glee to end after season six Hit TV show Glee will come to an end in 2014 after six seasons. Series co-creator Ryan Murphy confirmed the news during an event honouring America’s FX Networks in Los Angeles this week, explaining that the recent death of Cory Monteith has altered his plans for the finale. Monteith died from a drug overdose in July and was memorialised during a special episode which aired in both the US and Australia last week. “The final year of the show, which will be next year, was designed around Rachel and Cory/Finn’s story. I always knew that, I always knew how it would end. I knew what the last shot was – he was in it. I knew what the last line was – she said it to him,” Murphy said. – WENN

Hezbollah threatens eagles Israeli eagles dangerously endangered by pesticides, electrical wires and poachers now apparently face a new threat: Lebanese Hezbollah guerrillas. Hezbollah’s Al-Manar website recently boasted of capturing an eagle that carried an Israel-labelled transmission device on its back and claimed the bird was an Israeli spy. It said hunters in central Lebanon shot down the bird and found devices on it as well as a copper ring on its leg that reads “Israel” in English followed by letters that refer to Tel Aviv University. Israeli ornithologist Yossi Leshem said yesterday he was tracking the bird for research and was “incredibly frustrated” it was harmed. – AP

■ ASHBURTON MURDER

Guilty plea will bring some closure BY MYLES HUME

MYLES.H@THEWGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

The family and those close to slain mother Sina Solomona are elated her killer has finally admitted to her murder. “I’m just happy that he’s admitted it. It took him 10 months to do it,” Sina’s mother Anuella Solomona said outside the Christchurch courthouse yesterday. It came shortly after the 16-year-old accused of killing the 22-year-old last year pleaded guilty to her murder and a charge of sexual violation by unlawful sexual connection during an arraignment hearing at the High Court in Christchurch yesterday. After the brief statement outside court yesterday, family members refused to speak to the Guardian, but those close to the family said it would bring some closure to what has been a tumultuous year for the family. Ashburton Methodist Parish minister Tevita Taufalele said after conducting Sina’s funeral last year, her mother and the Sina’s young daughter continued to attend the church where they were given “spiritual and moral support”. He was personally happy that months of uncertainty for the Solomona family came closer to an end. “We as a church are very happy to have offered a place where Sina’s mother and her granddaughter can go to alongside members of the church and their families and friends,” Mr Taufalele said. “I think even though it’s hard to cope with whatever happens to your loved ones, when there’s a guilty plea in this situation it’s kind of a step closer to closure for the family concerned.” A friend close to the family said the plea was “not unexpected”. “I’m just happy that things are settled, like I say I’m just happy for the family who can move along.

Anuella Solomona (right) with a supporting family member outside the Christchurch courthouse where her daughter Sina’s killer pleaded guilty.

“The police and justice system have been really good and I know it still takes a long time to fully get over something like this but they are one step closer.” Neighbours of the now demolished Cass Street property where Sina was murdered said it was a major development in the case, and they would now look to move on from the events that have put the street under the spotlight for several months.

Youth utters a quiet ‘guilty’ The Ashburton teenager accused of murdering Sina Solomona stood with his head down and uttered the word “guilty” as two serious charges were laid before him yesterday. The 16-year-old youth, who has interim name suppression, ended his long-standing not guilty plea at the High Court in Christchurch during an arraignment hearing. He admitted to the murder and sexual violation by unlawful sexual connection of Ashburton mother Sina Solomona, 22, in a

brief appearance just weeks before he was due to stand trial in Timaru. The youth was 15 when he killed Sina at her Cass Street home in Ashburton in the early hours of December 15. He made a brief appearance in the dock to quietly utter “guilty” to both charges and then hung his head while other legal discussions were held. Defence counsel Elizabeth Bulger asked for interim name suppression to continue, at least until sentencing.

Justice Graham Panckhurst agreed, even though he accepted it was “an unusual move” to continue name suppression after a guilty plea has been entered. “This, however, is an unusual case, firstly, on account of your age – 16 years – and on account of the circumstances of the offending.” Justice Panckhurst also said the statement of facts should not be read out in court until sentencing, when the facts of the case and killer’s identity will be revealed. – APNZ

Sina ‘a beautiful person’ BY MYLES HUME

MYLES.H@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Sina Nerissa Solomona was a daughter, a sister, an aunty and, above all, a hard-working mother. Yesterday, the 22-year-old’s killer was finally revealed after a 16-year-old Ashburton youth admitted to her murder and a charge of sexual violation by unlawful sexual connection. It came 10 months after Sina was killed in the early hours of December 15. The Cass Street house, where Sina’s life was brutally ended, was the place she shared with her mother Anuella and her partner, three-year-old daughter Kaira, twin sister Loretta and her partner and her two brothers. Neighbours say since the murder, the family never returned and the home has since been demolished. The new owners plan to build a house on the property. Sina was regarded as a “loving and beautiful person” and others remembered her to be “happy and chirpy”, something that was evident in text messages shortly

before her life was ended. A Facebook page created in her memory has 2400 ‘likes’. After coming to live in Ashburton in 2002, Sina landed a job at CMP Canterbury where other family members also worked. A church minister said the Solomona’s were of Tokelauan decent. Sina’s mother explained the only time Sina was not with her daughter was when she was at work. The family and people close to Sina were still shocked someone would take her life. “She loved her daughter, she loves her friends, she loves anyone. Until now I’m still questioning who would do this,” Anuella said shortly after the death. “They (the family) just don’t believe someone could do something like this, if there was any people hate us, any people had trouble, problem with us...I don’t think so.” The 16-year-old who admitted to her murder will appear in the High Court in Timaru on February 14 for sentencing.

Defence: Guilty plea no sudden decision BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

While she would not be drawn on the background that led to Sina Solomona’s killer pleading guilty yesterday, defence counsel Liz Bulger said this was not was not a sudden decision. The 16-year-old Ashburton youth appeared at an arraignment in a Timaru High Court sitting in Christchurch where he pleaded guilty to murdering the

22-year-old mother of one on December 15 last year. He also entered a guilty plea to a charge of sexual violation by unlawful sexual connection with the young woman. While an arraignment is usually held on the first day of a trial where the defendant intends to plead not guilty, it can be held at any stage before a scheduled trial if a guilty plea is to be entered, Ms Bulger said.

She declined to provide details of the events that had led up to the decision to plead guilty. At the hearing, Ms Bulger asked for interim suppression of the youth’s name and said he would be held at the Te Puna Wai youth facility at Rolleston until his sentencing on February 14. This is likely to be in the Timaru High Court. Once sentenced, she said he is likely to be held in the youth wing of Pap-

aroa Prison. Crown prosecutor Andrew McRae said he was pleased that the Solomona case had been resolved with a guilty plea without the need for a trial. Because of the offender’s age, Mr McRae said he had agreed to interim name suppression but said it was likely he would oppose continued suppression at sentencing in February. The offender’s age also meant

the summary of facts relating to the two charges was not read out in court. This will also continue to be under a suppression order until sentencing when it will be read in court. At yesterday’s hearing, Mr McRae said Justice Graham Panckhurst made it very clear that the only details released about yesterday’s arraignment would be that a plea of guilty on both charges was made.

Friend of killer: I will stand by him BY MYLES HUME

MYLES.H@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

A friend of Sina Solomona’s killer says she will stand by him despite now believing he committed murder. The Ashburton teenager, who cannot be named, said she was shocked at news her 16-year-old friend pleaded guilty to murdering Ashburton mother Sina Solomona during an arraignment hearing at the High Court in Christchurch yesterday. In previous interviews, the teen maintained her friend’s innocence, but after his plea yesterday – just weeks before he was set to go for trial – she now believes her friend committed murder. Letters have been the only form of communication with the 16-year-old for most friends since he was remanded in custody, and yesterday his female friend said she would continue to stay in touch. “He’s still a friend no matter what, I haven’t heard his side of the story yet and he stood by me for all my hard times. When he goes for sentencing in Timaru (on Feb14) I will definitely be there.” He has interim name suppression until sentencing. Others who knew Sina’s killer say they are still baffled by the case, even 10 months down the track. “He used to help out at church events, he would come help the boys and go collect firewood and do other jobs. “That’s why I’m massively shocked he’s accused of this. He did help out a lot and seemed like a nice person, it’s so many months down the track and I’m still shocked,” one person said earlier this week. Some say he was cheeky, witty and helpful before the December 15 murder, but also had trouble at school where he spent a lot of time out of the classroom. He was a social person, but started drinking from a young age and occasionally smoked cannabis, a friend said. Principals of the schools he attended did not want to comment yesterday, saying it was inappropriate to do so while he still had name suppression. The 16-year-old youth has been remanded in custody and will appear at the High Court in Timaru on February 14 for sentencing.

Timeline of an Ashburton murder BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Ten months ago Sina Solomona was killed; yesterday her family watched as her killer confessed to her murder. The 16-year-old hung his head as he stood in the Christchurch High Court and he admitted killing Sina and to committing sexual violation by unlawful sexual connection. For her family that brought an element of closure in a murder that shattered their lives and rocked Ashburton. It also spared the family reliving the step-by-step nightmare of the night she died, December 15, 2012. While the events that led to her death are unclear, it appeared to be a normal Saturday night in a normal working week. She had finished her shift at CMP at 1am and had called in at a friend’s house on her way home. She phoned her sister’s partner, asking for a ride home and is believed to have been dropped off at her Cass Street residence about 2.30am. She lived at the Cass Street address with her mother, her mother’s partner, her threeyear-old daughter, her twin sister and her partner and her two brothers. At the time, police said, none of the family members were believed to have been home as they were at another family property in town. Her mother’s stepson discovered Sina, fatally injured at the house at about 2.36am. He ran outside, found a man on a bike whom he asked to cycle to Mobil to call emergency services. Police say the emergency call was made at about 2.43am. St John responded and the attending paramedic pronounced Sina dead. The police cordoned off the Cass Street property and an investigation began. The surrounding streets were searched

Investigators at the Cass Street house where Sina Solomona was found fatally injured.

for a weapon. Sina’s body was removed from the house later that morning and a post-mortem conducted. The next day police said a weapon had been found at the scene and specialist search teams continued to scour the property and neighbourhood for other evidence. Three dimensional laser video imagery of the house interior and luminol testing for blood were carried out. Sina’s workmates at CMP were devastated by her death and flags were flown at half mast. Her family struggled with the single question. Why? As the investigation rolled into day four police suggested Sina’s murder could have been sexually motivated. Post-mortem results were released and they indicated that some of her injuries were likely caused by a sharp blade while others were likely to have been caused by

blunt trauma. The investigation continued and police were confident they would make an arrest, that someone would be brought to justice. Day five dawned. The Cass Street block around Sina’s home remained cordoned off and her body had been released back to the family. And then came the news the community had been waiting for. An arrest had been made. A 15-year-old youth would be charged with her murder. The following day he appeared in the Christchurch Youth Court and was remanded to appear in the Ashburton District Court on January 14. With the young man in custody, there was still no rest for the police as the investigation continued and other houses where family members lived were cordoned off and examined.

For Sina’s family, the arrest meant they could grieve for their daughter knowing the person who took her from them would be dealt with in court. A funeral was planned and on December 22, hundreds of mourners turned out to farewell the young mother. Her short life was celebrated in the Baring Square Church with more than 400 people paying tribute to a young woman who would never watch her three-year-old daughter grow up. During the service she was described as “a family treasure” and a “beautiful, bubbly, happy and open person”. A Rest in Paradise Sina Solomona Facebook page was set up for tributes. And they flowed and continue to flow for many days. Each painted a picture of a happy, fun-filled young woman. As the new year dawned and

the Solomona family grieved and began to heal, the young man responsible for her death spent his Christmas and New Year in custody. He came to court on January 14 where he was charged with murder. Since the murder and his court appearance he had celebrated his 16th birthday – in custody. Bail was asked for and opposed and all details about the young man were suppressed. In early April the accused was back in court, facing a fresh charge of sexual violation by sexual connection against a female. He was committed to trial. A pre-trial conference was called on May 24 and a trial date set for November 4. The Solomona family and the family of the young man settled in for a long wait until they would find themselves sitting on opposites of the witness box in the Timaru High Court. The months ticked by and eventually the house on Cass Street was bought by a retired couple, who demolished the building ahead of a rebuild. Yesterday, within just a few weeks of the trial, the landscape changed. An arraignment was scheduled in the Timaru High Court in Christchurch, the 16 -year-old offender appeared before Justice Graham Pankhurst and pleaded guilty to both charges. He was granted interim name suppression and the summary of facts was suppressed, but for Sina’s family the first steps towards closure were made. They would not have to face a trial and re-live the harrowing events of the murder in a very public setting. They can slowly begin to rebuild their lives. The 16-yearold, however, will spend his second Christmas and New Year in Te Puna Wai youth justice facility at Rolleston until he is sentenced on February 14.

■ RAKAIA MEETING

Community says ‘no’ to legal highs By Michelle NelsoN

Michelle.n@theguardain.co.nz

The Rakaia community turned out in force and in a united voice sent a very clear message about the presence of an R18 shop selling synthetic cannabis in the rural village. There was no doubt about the community’s angst. The public meeting, held in the community centre, and chaired by Rakaia Community Association chairperson Neil Pluck, attracted a full house, with more than 100 people from the district in attendance. They came from all walks of life; the young, the elderly, long term residents and newcomers, with a common cause – to rid the district of the Adult Thingz shop – opened in Rakaia a few weeks ago, in the face of new government laws allowing it a temporary licence to trade in synthetic cannabis. Mr Pluck said it sells “legal drugs, sex and weapons” next to a local grocery store and takeaway shop. Rangitata MP Jo Goodhew, Ashburton Community Alcohol and Drug Service representatives Chris Clark and Sandy Jackson, Ashburton police sergeant Janine Bowden, Rakaia rural nurse Heather Moore, and Ashburton District Council senior planning officer Ian Hyde all addressed the gathering. Ashburton mayor Angus McKay, Rakaia district councillor Ken Cutforth and Rakaia School principal Mark Ellis were among the audience.

Mr Pluck called the business a scourge on a community that prided itself on providing so many cultural and sporting opportunities both for its youth and everyone who lived there. “We are saddened, frustrated, annoyed, scared and embarrassed that these drugs are being released from our little town,” he said. Mrs Goodhew said the government had mandated on legislation to prevent the trade in

synthetic cannabis going underground into the hands of gangsters, and to attempt to ensure the products available were as safe as possible. Mr Pluck pointed out the Rakaia district considered its boundaries encompassed the northern side of the river, and that point was made clear when a Leeston mother named Sandy addressed the meeting during question time. “My 17-year-old son is totally

addicted to this stuff,” she said. “From my experience young people will travel great distances to get this stuff. “I just found out recently he’s been stealing money from my bank account to get it – how can you tell me it is safe?” ACADs manager Chris Clark said the service were dealing with many families facing the same problems. She urged anyone struggling with addiction issues to discuss

their problems with a professional service. At the conclusion of the meeting Mr Pluck handed Mrs Goodhew a petition signed by more than 900 people from the estimated 1800 residents of the Rakaia community.

Senior navy officer Sergeant repeatedly punched found guilty ■ POLICEMAN ATTACKED

and bitten on the face, arms By Matthew Backhouse A police sergeant who was punched repeatedly and bitten on the face in west Auckland on Thursday night is recovering at home. The 50-year-old had been responding to a domestic dispute at a boarding house in Routley Drive, Glen Eden, shortly before 11pm. As he walked up the driveway, he was approached by a man who punched him repeatedly and bit him on the face and arms. He radioed for help and was then attacked by a woman. The officer suffered a finger injury and cuts, bruising and swelling to his face and head. Police said he was treated

and discharged from Waitakere Hospital and was recovering at home yesterday. Inspector Claire Humble said the “unprovoked attack” came after the officer had responded to a report of a verbal domestic dispute. Police were informed the dispute was over and their help was not needed, but the sergeant went to the property anyway to ensure the dispute was over and check on the welfare of the occupants. When back-up arrived, the woman who attacked him assaulted another officer. Ms Humble said the sergeant would be off work for at least several days. “This was an unprovoked at-

tack on a very experienced and respected officer, and it just highlights the unpredictable nature of what our staff are faced with in the line of duty,” she said, “This was a welfare check to make sure that everyone at this property felt safe, and the situation was turned on the person who was doing his very best to help.” A man and woman have been arrested and were due to appear in Waitakere District Court yesterday. The man, aged 26, has been charged with wounding with intent to injure, and the woman, aged 22, with two counts of assaulting police. - APNZ

A senior navy officer has been found guilty of charges relating to a relationship with a subordinate at a Court Martial. Commodore Kevin Keat, 55, had denied eight charges relating to offences under the Armed Forces Discipline Act. The counts cover breaching orders and other acts likely to prejudice discipline or discredit the service. A a Court Martial, which ended yesterday, Commodore Keat was found guilty of five of the eight charges, Radio New Zealand reported. Interim suppression orders prevented publishing some details including the extent of the affair and the complainant’s name. The woman at the centre of the trial alleged the Commodore exercised power and control over her employment con-

ditions when she tried to end their affair after several years. Her accusations include bullying, harassment, stalking and threats to end her career. The relationship apparently soured after she refused to any longer keep from declaring it on her security clearance form. The Commodore’s lawyer Michael Bott said the complainant’s view was different from that of the Commodore who insisted he ended the affair well before she claimed to have put a stop to it. Each charge carries a maximum penalty of two years in prison. Commodore Keat was stood down earlier this year from his position as assistant chief in charge of personnel at Defence Force Headquarters in Wellington during a high-level investigation. - APNZ

■ RAKAIA MUDDY GOOD RUN

In brief

Gettin’ down and dirty again

130 jobs up in air The jobs of up to 130 mill workers are up in the air after Rotorua’s Tachikawa Forest Products was placed into receivership. Receivers KordaMentha moved in to the Vaughan Rd business yesterday and staff were told not to return to work for the time being while they worked through the company’s finances. KordaMentha partner Brendon Gibson said processing operations had stopped at the site and receivers were beginning to sell the business. - APNZ

It’s not just the competitors who will be getting muddy for the second Muddy Good Run, as organisers have spent the week knee-deep in muddy pits, hauling tyres and straw bales and setting up some unique challenges at the Rakaia Domain. There are more than 600 entries already in for the run this Sunday, and with late entries available on the day and a new children’s event this time around the run is expected to bring close to 1000 people to Rakaia. Organiser John Moore said that high winds had played havoc with the set up, but were expected to die down today to give them time to put the finishing touches on the obstacles. Overall, he said that the course was looking “nice and gooey”. “There’s plenty of mud, our tyre run is just a bit longer and there’s more obstacles than ever this year.” Groups helping with the event included the Rakaia Volunteer Fire Brigade, Lions and local sports teams, and he estimated that more than $6000 would be channelled back into the community. “This is fantastic for the whole community, and so many local

businesses have been absolutely awesome in their support. The new children’s event is just 1.5km but includes plenty of mud, pits and slides, with a prize of $1000 worth of sports equipment going to the school with the most pupils entered. There will also be prizes for best dressed teams on the day, as well as spot prizes, individual prizes for fastest times and a corporate trophy.

The corporate trophy was won in April by a team from Ashburton law firm Russell Moon & Fail, and the team spokesman, Paul Bradford, confirmed that they would be back this weekend. “Winning it was a bit of a shock last year. “I’m not sure if we were particularly fast or just the least slow – but either way it was a lot of fun.”

When Charles Brace opened his latest power bill he burst into laughter as he read a demand for a one cent payment. Considering most recent stories regarding power charges had been about extremely high bills some financially struggling Masterton customers had received, his bill was comical, Mr Brace said. The bill from Genesis Energy shows, with his 10 per cent discount for prompt payment of his previous power demand, he only owed one cent to the company. - APNZ

The impact - at 2.35pm on State Highway One, Putaruru - sent the bulk cement truck crashing into a distribution centre where it collided with another seven vehicles.

■ MT HUTT SKIFIELD

Price freeze on passes to continue for 2014 BY SUSAN SANDYS

SUSAN.S@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Mt Hutt Ski Area management are hoping for increased skier numbers next year after less than anticipated visits to the skifield this year. And it is not wasting any time marketing. This week it announced the freeze on season pass prices would be in place for the third year in a row next year. Manager James McKenzie said numbers for this ski season, which finished on Sunday, were less than five per cent, or “only slightly”, up on last year. This was after there had been high season pass sales leading into the season, which would

INJURY RATE LOWEST SINCE 2000 Mt Hutt Ski Area had its lowest skier injury rate this season since records began in 2000. Manager James McKenzie said the rate was 10 per cent lower than last year, which itself was the lowest ever rate on the mountain at the time. “We had quite a focus this year on some of the injury black spots on the mountain,” Mr McKenzie said. In areas of congestion, staff had

built up wider areas of snow, giving people more room to get out of the way of oncoming skiers. There had also been a higher use of helmets, and a higher presence of slope safety ski patrollers. “A good snow year always helps,” he said, and there had been few days with hard and icy conditions. The injury rate on the mountain was below the national average, which was good considering Mt Hutt was a steep mountain.-

normally suggest there would be high visitor numbers, particularly in a good snow year as 2013 was. “Done on a good snow year

numbers track a little bit higher than on an average snow year,” Mr McKenzie said. Mr McKenzie believed the closure of the triple chair after

it was hit by an avalanche may have been the reason behind some skiers deciding not to visit the mountain, as it made some terrain inaccessible. The use of Hagglund all terrain vehicles to access the triple chair terrain had filled the gap left by the triple a little, but not completely. Hopes were high for better numbers next year, and for the third year in a row, the early bird season passes prices were frozen at 2011 prices and went on sale this week. Mr McKenzie said work on a new-look $1 million plus end terminal of the triple chair would begin next month. “It will come with all the bells and whistles expected of

absolutely everything

a modern fixed-grip lift including chair arm guides that reduce chair swing and hydraulic tensioning, that reduces chair bounce and enables guests to load more easily from the rear,” he said. “At the same time we’ll be replacing our lower snowmaking pump house that was also destroyed in the June avalanche with a more energy-efficient bore higher on the mountain.” Early bird Mt Hutt prices remain unchanged at $699 for adults, $549 for students and $299 for youths and seniors. A midweek pass is $429, $329 and $299 respectively. New for 2014 will be the option of a first tracks add-on for Mt Hutt season pass holders.

■ NEW NETHERBY PLAYGROUND

In brief

Adventures aplenty BY GABRIELLE STUART GABRIELLE.S@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Adventures in the Netherby School playground just got a little more exciting for the pupils, who returned from holidays to discover a brand new confidence course in the school grounds. It may have been a surprise to many of the children, but it was the result of 344 construction hours and more than six months of work from parents, teachers and even some of the older pupils. Netherby Principal Andrew Leverton officially opened the course yesterday in front of gathered pupils, teachers and parents. He said that the course added to the current playground, and helped the children build confidence, balance and co-ordination. “The whole project has been a labour of love, and it is a real asset both to the school and the whole community.” Six-year-old pupil Rareahu Wehipeihana-Reihana has spent the week experimenting on the new course, and said it was “way better” than the old playground equipment. “It’s way better than the old stuff because you need to balance. It’s fun! And it’s so high.”

“High” is just under a metre for most of the equipment – Netherby father Dean Smith organised the course, and said that height restrictions were one of the challenges of the project. “The challenge was to keep it interesting and do everything at different heights to cater for everyone. But in the end I’ve discovered that it doesn’t really matter what you do; the kids will make their own rules and challenge themselves.” He said he had plenty of feedback from the children themselves during the planning process, with the rope swing proving the most popular piece of equipment. “The goal was to build something that would help the kids gain confidence and build their fitness and balance, and the kids told us quite clearly what they wanted and didn’t want.” And it wasn’t just the planning that the children helped with. Mr Smith’s children were just 13, 11 and nine years old, and weren’t above rolling up their sleeves in the holidays to help build the equipment. “I think they mostly did it for the bragging rights; so they could come back to school and say ‘I built that’.”

Rhino horns sell high A pair of carved rhinoceros horns sold at auction for almost $800,000 were bought by a New Zealand collector to honour a senior family member. The pair of late-19th century Chinese carved horns were offered at Webb’s Auction house in Auckland on Thursday night. Webb’s said the sale price of $797,300 was the highest price paid for an antique at auction in New Zealand. They were expected to sell for about $500,000. - APNZ

Embassy evacuated The Japanese Embassy was evacuated after white powder was found at its central Wellington office yesterday. The powder was discovered spilled on the 18th or 19th storey of the Majestic Centre on Willis St, just before 2.30pm, police said. The immediate area was evacuated and some streets blocked off. Four fire trucks and Hazmat units attended. - APNZ

■ ASHBURTON FORESTS DAMAGED

‘Breezy spring’ costs ratepayers $1m BY SUSAN SANDYS

SUSAN.S@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Ashburton District Council district forester Terry O’Neill has got what he expected after “waiting” for a catastrophic windstorm to hit the district. This week he has been sizing up windstorm damage in council plantations, and he thinks the cost will be almost $1 million. “I have been waiting for this storm since I ever started this job,” he said yesterday. He was referring to the September 10 windstorm, which was followed by another destructive event on Monday. He has worked in the job for about 20 years. “Everybody talks about the 1975 storm being a benchmark for catastrophic storms, I wasn’t here then, but from what I can work out this one wasn’t as bad as that but it was definitely close,” Mr O’Neill said. His council department has since been scrambling to get a logging crew to help clean up the destruction. Most are busy after the storm, although he has managed to

source one from Dunedin. The crew would be working seven days per week, and he expected the cleanup would go through to March next year, with hopefully some other crews to come on later this year or early next year. The council has 120 plantations over 16,000 hectares, and there is up to 50,000 tonnes of logs it has to now salvage as a result of the wind storms, with up to 48,000 of that being as a result of the first storm. “The main thing it has done really has make the stands that were damaged worse,” Mr O’Neill said of Monday’s storm, which was mostly damaging in foothills areas. “This spring has been a bit breezy.” Mr O’Neill said the main expense for mature plantations was in the increased cost of harvesting those which had trees down. It had brought the harvesting date forward for these plantations. For less mature plantations there was the cost of salvage and reduced harvest return due to small piece size.

Monday’s galeforce winds caused destruction in council plantations, particularly in the foothills. PHOTO SUSAN SANDYS 161013-0002

■ ASHBURTONIAN SHINES AT AWARDS

Dancer’s focus shifts to examinations BY GABRIELLE STUART GABRIELLE.S@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

After taking out second place in the Highland section of the National Young Performer Awards, Ashburton dancer Sarah Gluyas has had no time to sit back and enjoy her success. As exams loom the Otago University student’s focus is firmly on study, something she has had to fit around dance lessons and practice each day for

Napier deaths a mystery It may be a fortnight before it’s known what caused the deaths of an elderly Chinese couple, whose bodies were found in a Napier motel room. Hawke’s Bay Police are investigating the deaths of the holidaying Auckland pair aged 73 and 74 - found dead by relatives on Wednesday night. Emergency services were called to the motel about 9.45pm. The couple are Chinese but have lived in Auckland for many years. They were visiting Napier while travelling around New Zealand with their adult son and his wife, who are said to be holding up “as well as can be expected” given the circumstances. Detective Senior Sergeant Dave de Lange said there was no indication at this stage how the couple died. A post-mortem examination was carried out yesterday, and a police spokeswoman said the

results won’t be known for “a couple of weeks”. Mr de Lange said police will be “keeping an open mind” as to how they died. A scene examination was completed yesterday afternoon and police have spoken to the couple’s son and his wife, as well as other people who were at the motel. “It may take some time to establish the cause of death and until we get further information from the post-mortem, including toxicology test results, we cannot confirm what direction this investigation will take,” Mr de Lange said. The police spokeswoman added that the couple’s son and daughter-in-law are still in Napier and “understandably very upset by it all”. They have been offered help by Victim Support. Police say the couple’s names will not be released until all family have been notified. - APNZ

■ MID CANTERBURY CRASHES

181013-SS-002 PHOTO SUSAN SANDYS

Lucky to escape serious injuries Mid Canterbury fire brigades attended two car crashes yesterday. The Ashburton Volunteer Fire Brigade attended a collision between a car (above) and a truck at the intersection of Harrison and Cavendish Streets. It is believed the elderly female driver of the car turned into the path of the truck, which

received only minor damage. It appeared no-one was injured, although the car driver was taken to hospital for a check up. A more serious crash occurred north of the Rakaia overbridge about 11.30am. Three adults were travelling on State Highway One when their car had a tyre blowout.

The car crossed the centre line into a paddock and rolled onto its roof. Rakaia Volunteer Fire Brigade spokesperson Murray Smith said the occupants were shaken, but out of the vehicle by the time the brigade arrived. “They were very, very lucky,” he said. Ambulance officers treated them at the scene.

hen Margaret McLeod started at Methven Convent School over 70 years ago, she had to walk five kilometres per day to and from school. There were four classes crammed into one room and students had to wear slippers inside so as not to mark the polished floors. It was a 60-metre walk to an outside toilet, and she and other pupils had to polish the convent’s brass after school. Among her teachers was Sister Mary Patrick, one of the three original nuns who began at the school when it opened in 1913. “She was very strict,” Mrs McLeod, 82, recalled. Despite the hardships, particularly walking 2.5km morning and afternoon along Methven Chertsey Road in frost in winter and searing heat in summer, Mrs McLeod has mainly fond memories. “I liked school days,” she said. Mrs McLeod lives in Methven and will be among about 150 people attending centennial celebrations for the school, today called Our Lady of the Snows, this weekend. Mrs McLeod is on the school’s centennial committee and was at the school talking to students this week with two other members, Julie Middleton and Angela Grieve. The trio showed old photos and memorabilia, and related many of their memories of attending and teaching at the school, which today has a roll of 70. Students were fascinated. Mrs Middleton, who was the school’s first lay teacher and worked at the school for 30 years from 1972, spoke about wooden desks, each with a hole in them, that her students sat at in the 1970s. She asked pupils what those holes might have been for. “Pencil sharpener”, one said, while another ventured “spare pens”. “We had no such things as biros, they were just coming in,” Mrs Middleton said. Another student said: “This

might be a bit old, the ink and the feather?” The pupil was at least close, with the holes having been used for ink wells, so pupils could fill their fountain pens. Mrs Middleton told the students about a pot-belly stove in her classroom, stoked with wood and coal for heating, large blackboards with chalk ledges at the front, and large times table charts. “Do you have those now, times tables?” she asked, to which students nodded in affirmation. In those days, when a teacher walked into a class under way, everyone in the room had to stand up to show their respect, she said. “We didn’t have computers, they didn’t come in for a long time, and there was no such

things as whiteboards.” Mrs Grieve, like Mrs McLeod, attended the school when it was located in the church’s convent building, which is today a private home. The school became Our Lady of the Snows in 1958 when today’s school building was built nearby as the roll soared to 120. “And I had plaits. The boy behind me would often yank one and put it in the ink well and I would go home with ink on my plaits,” Mrs Grieve said. She said she and other pupils had to write AMDG at the top of every page in their exercise books, which meant “all for the honour and glory of God” in Latin. “I loved school, probably the structure and the companionship, I’m still in touch with the

girl I started school with.” Mrs Grieve had enjoyed being taught by nuns, who were at the school until 1983. “They were wonderful nuns who dedicated their lives to educating Catholic children and they observed the Sisters of Mercy principles of courtesy, respect and compassion,” she said. The school opened in 1913 with over 30 pupils and three Sisters of Mercy - Sister Mary Joseph, Sister Mary Benedict and Sister Mary Patrick. Today’s centennial celebrations will see 11 former nuns from the school, who today live in Christchurch, attend. Celebrations will begin with registration at midday. The old school handheld bell will be rung, there will be a centennial blessing, tree planting and cake cutting.

A land of opportunity Ashburton Business Estate

Business is booming Amanda Wright Location is one of the most important factors in the success of a business. It must be easily accessible to both customers and logistic providers, big enough to streamline your day-to-day movements, and cost-efficient. Finding a location which offers the best of everything has become as easy as A.B.E, with the Ashburton Business Estate. An enlightened regional business development by the Ashburton District Council, the estate was created to ease the pressure from existing industrial sites within Ashburton, for both local and new business to expand. The high quality development soon peaked interest from many businesses, looking to take advantage of the prime location and infrastructure which had already been set in place.

Fuel Storage Systems Ltd Manufacture and supply Sebco tanks for farming and industry, for the storage and dispensing of diesel, Adblue, (diesel exhaust fluid), and waste oil. Their diesel stations are the only compliant plastic bunded diesel tank in New Zealand.

Right from the outset, the Ashburton Business Estate has been about developing a commercial site that ticks all the boxes; affordable pricing, low input costs, lifestyle location, and the flexibility to choose the ideal property for the businesses operation.

Managing Director Ed Harrison highlighted remaining local as a key reason they decided to build within the estate.

The industrial-zoned development offers some of the lowest industrialzoned land prices in the region, and compares favourably to similar sized blocks of land in other parts of New Zealand. It offers businesses flexible ownership options to make getting into the estate easier, site customisation to ensure each business is developed to suit its individual needs and low water rate costs to ensure the long-term running of businesses on site aren’t under pressure due to utility bills.

OUR VIEW

It’s all on here this weekend Coen Lammers EDITOR

id Canterbury will be buzzing this weekend. The weather forecast is outstanding and there will be plenty of action around the district. Today, many will be heading to the showgrounds to see if the Mid Canterbury rugby team can force their way into the Heartland final when they meet the West Coast. Fan support for the Hammers has not been overwhelming during the regular season, but as the team has consistently been among the top teams, the interest in the representative side has increased accordingly. At times, club teams have seen bigger crowds than the Mid Canterbury team, but when it comes to finals’ time, rugby fans from all corners suddenly get interested. With a fine day forecast, there is no excuse not to go and support Glenn Moore’s team. The arrival of the new coach has brought some new flair to the green-and-golds and through shrewd recruiting Moore has created a team that could go all the way this year. Another Moore, John Moore, will be in charge on Sunday when a massive crowd will descend on the Rakaia Domain for the second running of the Muddy Good Run. Anyone who witnessed the first edition earlier this year will be looking forward to this outstanding community event where hundreds of locals and visitors will drag themselves through the mud and other obstacles John Moore has thought of. And all of that with a big smile on their faces. This time the organisers have added a kids’ run, and several options for the fit, and the not so fit. And even the spectators have plenty of fun watching their friends and family roll around in the mud. And if you can’t make it in person, please make sure you have a look on GuardianOnline or at our Monday edition to see who was fastest, or more importantly, who had the best costumes. These are just two events, because there are plenty of other events on this weekend. Whatever you choose to do, enjoy the fine spring weather and have a wonderful weekend.

by David Fletcher

Many of you will disagree with this most likely and probably comment, which I’m not bothered about. I do feel bad for the 16-yearold that committed this murder. I feel bad that he made this decision and that his life has come to this. I feel bad about the way he was most likely raised. I feel bad about what he was taught was right and wrong and what behaviour was okay to bring to society. I wish someone had taught him so that he could jump over the crack rather than falling through it. I’m sick of seeing young lives wasted through a lack of guidance. Kelly Lopas His upbringing is not the cause of his actions that morning. He was well aware of his

choices and he chose to be a murderer. No pity for him whatsoever. He stole a mother, daughter, sister, cousin, niece, aunty and friend. I hope he gets life in prison. Ella-mae Tindle One horrific act caused so much sadness; one young mum lost her life, one daughter lost her mum, one mum lost her daughter, one family lost the most precious gift of all, family. Mel Savage Such a shame that a youth can get to this stage - thank God after having the time to clean up from drugs while in prison, he can admit to this hideous crime - now the poor little devil has to live with himself.

Whiteout, a unique perspective

POLL RESULT Yesterday’s result Q: Should under-18s be blocked from using Facebook?

TOWNIE GOES COUNTRY

he annual Peak to Pub race at Mt Hutt combines all of Methven’s best known attractions: Skiing, mountain biking, the Methven Walkway, an up close and personal encounter with the RDR and of course the famous Blue pub as the finish line. Throw in a bit of pain for good measure and you’ve got the recipe for an adventure race that is sure to provide a unique perspective on the area, complete with rolling vista all the way out the sea. This year’s event provided a perspective even more unique than most: Come Sunday, white-out conditions meant everything outside a 5m radius had been completely erased. This was something new for me. While I am familiar with sea fog, multisport in Auckland does not include a snow leg, ever. The dizzyingly white ski section with gravity as the only compass gave me a real appreciation for the contrast we often take for granted and gave my body a schooling in the intimate contours of Mt Hutt’s ski face. Cue the biking leg, where

the white fog rendered white knuckles invisible. There was no time to feel fear at the impressive drops to either side of the road, as staying on track with where the road was heading was quite enough. The lack of peripheral vision did have the effect of focusing one’s attention in on the little details, such as the taste of the mud, or the average size of the gravel chunks thrown up by the front wheel. Having communed with the clay and emerged in one piece, it was time to make a run for it. Battling the remnants of the last storm, we clambered over logs and sloshed our way through the stream that marked the course until we met

the RDR. RDR mud with more than a hint of cattle excrement was the dogs’ favourite perfume for a good few weeks when the canals were being drained, and I tried not to think about the olfactory implications as I dived into the water ... Rural living provided some interesting moments in the lead up to the event, when a training run along this very route took me into a paddock of mama sheep and their lambs. These woolly mothers did not appreciate my presence and quickly made their distaste apparent. They may be seen most regularly on the dinner plate, dressed in mint sauce, but having seen the zombie film Black

Sheep, I had no desire to find out what would happen if the tables were turned. I made a hasty retreat and ran the long way round, turning my morning jog into a fullon 16km run. Who would’ve thought that livestock could replace personal trainers and provide superior motivation mid workout? The sight of the Blue Pub and the finishing line provided plenty of motivation to summon up the last few gasps that got me over the line. Colder, wetter, whiter and at a higher latitude than any multi-race I’d done before, Peak to Pub showed me a new side to Canterbury’s alpine moods alright.

Halting hepatitis A outbreak ‘up to community’

he Canterbury Tales, written by Chaucer at the end of the 14th century, describes how diseases followed trade routes – 600 years later, they still do, but nowadays they move a lot faster. The earliest case in the Ashburton outbreak was in a family who had returned from overseas. Though travel advisories recommended vaccination in the country they visited, no-one in that family had been vaccinated for hepatitis A before they travelled. As little as 50 per cent of all travellers get all the vaccinations they need before travelling, and so we continue to spread infectious disease like medieval travellers. We have had at least 28 cases of hepatitis A in Ashburton (there are probably more) and at least one case has been exported to Australia. The summer holidays are approaching fast when many more cases could be “exported” to the rest of New Zealand and beyond. Hepatitis A is a serious viral disease, which attacks the liver.

Canterbury Medical Officer of Health Dr Alistair Humphrey says the Ashburton community holds the key to preventing the current hepatitis A outbreak. The outbreak is now well into its sixth month. It is a timely reminder of how vulnerable communities are to infectious disease, even in the 21st century. The problem for families is that children often have vague or minor symptoms, so the disease often goes un-diagnosed. However, the children may spread the virus for many weeks. In adults, the disease is more serious, more often leading to a yellowing of the skin called jaundice as the liver function is compromised. Nearly one in 50 people over the age of 50 die when they are infected with hepatitis A. Of the five people hospitalised with this disease in Ashburton so far, four of them have been adults, despite the vast majority of the cases being children. Also, the spread of the disease has been predominantly through preschool children – nearly every case affected has had a connection with a preschool age child with the infection. There is only one way you can catch hepatitis A – to come into contact with someone who

has not washed their hands after going to the toilet. This is why preschoolers are the vector – they are less likely to wash their hands properly. The response of the Ashburton community to the threat has been outstanding. Preschools have set up a buddy system for children going to the toilet, so they can remind each other to wash their hands properly. Primary schools have been running “handwashing tutorials” – it is surprising how many people do not know how to wash their hands properly, even adults. In addition, many Ashburton businesses have vaccinated their food handling staff. Foodhandlers are supposed to be scrupulous with their hygiene, but an infected foodhandler can spread hepatitis A to hundreds of people in a day. Fortunately the prompt action by many Ashburton businesses

has prevented this – hopefully all businesses will follow the lead by the Ashburton Trust. Remember to ask your butcher, baker or waiter whether he or she has been vaccinated for hepatitis A. If not, you are at risk when you buy their products. The Canterbury District Health Board has identified cases, chased up contacts, and vaccinated them. Three preschools were vaccinated in an attempt to control the spread. Despite all these efforts we still experienced more cases in September, and it was at this point that health staff decided we could not allow the disease to spread further as the summer holidays loomed. As the spread has almost exclusively been through preschool children, it was decided to vaccinate all children over 12 months and under five years in Ashburton and the surrounding area. More than 800

preschoolers, in total, have been vaccinated so far. Unfortunately about one in three pre-school children have not been vaccinated. It is possible that they were unable to make the clinics, but we remain hopeful that these children will present to their general practice teams for vaccination. We need to vaccinate about four out of every five children to prevent transmission, so, as a community we are not across the line yet. If your pre-school child has had the vaccination he or she is safe, but please encourage your friends to make sure their preschool children have also had the vaccination. If you have a vulnerable pre-school child who has not been vaccinated and you have not been able to attend the clinics run by the CDHB, please present to your general practice team as soon as you can – the vaccination will still be free.

■ TAKEOVER BID

SFL Holdings eyes Synlait Farms Ltd Their owners might be changing, but it will be business as usual for farmers working and living on Synlait operated farms in the Ashburton District. SFL Holdings Limited has given notice to Canterbury dairy farmer Synlait Farms Limited that it proposes to make an $85.7 million takeover offer for 100 per cent of the shares in Synlait Farms. If the offer is successful, SFL Holdings will invest a further $20.0 million directly into Synlait Farms. Currently, Synlait Farms operates 13 dairy farms milking

13,000 cows on 4000 hectares of mainly irrigated land southwest of Christchurch.

The $2.10 per share offer price is a premium of 31 per cent to the last traded price for Synlait Farms shares on the Unlisted exchange. The offer would be conditional on receiving a minimum of acceptance from the holders of 90 per cent of the shares of Synlait Farms and approval from the Overseas Investment Office. Synlait Farms founders Juliet Maclean, John Penno and Ben Dingle, who in aggregate control 50.18 per cent of the shares of the company, have committed to accept the offer having

entered into a pre-bid agreement with SFL Holdings. It is currently expected that the offer will be formally made to Synlait Farms’ shareholders early next month. SFL Holdings is a partnership comprising Juliet Maclean and John Penno, and New Zealand Standard Farm Limited (NZ Standard Farm), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Shanghai Pengxin Group Co. Ltd. The proposed offer allows all shareholders to exit at a price significantly above the book equity value at 31 May 2013 of

$1.94 per share and is a 31 per cent premium to the price that the company’s shares have recently traded on Unlisted.” The shareholders of SFL Holdings comprise Juliet Maclean and John Penno, who will together own 26 per cent of the shares, and 74 per cent by NZ Standard Farm. The Board of SFL Holdings will comprise three directors appointed by NZ Standard Farm plus Juliet Maclean and John Penno, and the company intends to identify and appoint an appropriate independent Chairman.

■ GRAND ASHBURTON OPENING

By BeN ChapmaN-Smith It’s been a big week for Rod Drury. Since Monday, shares in his online accounting software firm Xero have soared in value by about 30 per cent, hitting $25.20 on Thursday. That rise has come on the back of news that investors have injected $180 million of new capital into the business. The share price has gained $20 over the past year - a rise of 385 per cent - and the company now has market capitalisation of nearly $3.2 billion. To cap the week off, Drury was on Thursday night crowned Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year for 2013. He received the award at a gala dinner in Auckland and will travel to Monaco next June to represent New Zealand at the Global Entrepreneur of the Year awards. Entrepreneur of the Year judge Greg Cross, of Cross Ventures and PowerbyProxi, said the standard of finalists was getting higher every year. “It was a very tough decision for the judges this year.” Competing against Drury for the top prize were John Penno (Synlait Milk), Murray Holdaway (Vista Entertainment), Cecilia Robinson (Au Pair Link/ My Food Bag), and Ian Kuperus (Tax Management NZ). - APNZ

Outdoor dining area opened in grand style By Sue NewmaN

The Ashburton Trust welcomed in the summer season last night with the opening of a new al fresco dining area at Braided Rivers Restaurant and Bar.

And they did it in grand style, with a sabre used to lop the tops off champagne bottles in what became for the night, the restaurant’s champagne lounge. Trust chief executive Giles Beal said the new area would be something of a test case

Lefties of the world unite New Zealand’s most famous left-handed golfer Bob Charles tees off at the Ashburton Golf Club in 2011, with hundreds of fellow lefties set to do the same next year. 020311-KG-017

BY JONATHAN LEASK

JONATHAN.L@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Left-handers are often much maligned, but the minority group are now banding together, on the golf course at least. The Ashburton Golf Club is holding a left-handed tournament on Sunday as part of the long-standing national association. “There is a national left-handed organisation, and you become a member of it,” tournament organiser and left-handed George Brown said.

“We have local tournaments like ours this Sunday, national tournaments and even international ones.” The Ashburton tournament, open to all left-handed players, is a precursor to the 29th National Left Handed Golf Tournament in April which is being held in Ashburton for the first time that will see over 200 players spend the week in Ashburton. The most famous of the breed is Sir Bob Charles. Phil Mickelson is a right-

hander that swings lefty while Bubba Watson is another of the rare professionals to hit lefty. Southpaws can sometimes struggle to get equipment and coaching specific to the way they play, what many consider hitting on the wrong side. Lefties are often subjugated by their opposing dexterity but are welcoming for righthanders to come and play they just can’t have a share in the spoils. It is also unheard of for righties to attempt the switch, with

Brown saying it is “a bit more complicated” than just turning around and picking up a lefthanded club. “People do have a go at it but not in a tournament.” Right handers seem fine being left out of the tournament, but there is still some suspicion on the switch-hitters. “People say on some courses lefties have the advantage but they still have to hit the ball straight and in the hole.” They play without prejudice tomorrow.

BY THE NUMBERS

30 - The All Blacks are

unbeaten this year but it feels a lot longer since they last lost at home, and that feeling would be correct. If they win against Australia on Saturday, the All Blacks will equal their longest unbeaten streak in New Zealand - a 30-match run between 2003 and 2008.

- A loss for the Wallabies in Dunedin would prolong a rough patch in sport for our neighbours. The latest page in that particular book was written on Thursday when Australia failed to defend 359 against India, meaning the green and gold have now given up the four highest run chases in ODI history.

The sporting week in numbers

1 - Even the cream of Austral-

ia’s league crop couldn’t help but find the limelight when on World Cup duty. It took only one night for the Kangaroos to run into trouble in the United Kingdom, with Canberra back-rower Josh Papalii robbed after a night out in Manchester before the start of the competition.

- As well as this column is doing, Ben Smith has proved to be the premier Aussie-basher this year. If he scores against the Wallabies this weekend,

- Consecutive 6-0 losses in football haven’t helped Australia’s cause but, before we start crowing too much, it’s only fair to mention the performance of the New Zealand under-17 football team. The Young All Whites were on Thursday night thrashed 7-0 to open the World Cup, albeit at the hands of one of the favourites in Uruguay.

1,000,000 - At least

an Australian team won the NRL, even if the competition was again tainted by scandal. The peptides saga, which was a black cloud over Cronulla’s season, will soon be resolved with a maximum fine of A$1 million - half the amount handed to AFL club Essendon for similar offences.

the winger will join Marc Ellis (Japan) and John Kirwan (Wales) as the only All Black to score six tries against the same opponent in a calendar year.

- It’s starting to feel a bit like piling on so here’s one sport the Ockers are currently dominating. Australia won an-

other last-minute affair against the Silver Ferns on Sunday, marking the Diamonds’ fourth straight victory over their old rival and putting the icing on the cake that was the Constellation Cup.

■ RUGBY LEAGUE

Hollywood plot for Burgess boys BY ROBERT SMITH It’s a story scripted by Hollywood star Russell Crowe, and England will hope their trio of beefy Burgess brothers can provide a happy ending at the Rugby League World Cup. Hired by Crowe, co-owner of the South Sydney Rabbitohs, forwards Sam, Luke, Tom and George have entered Australian rugby league folklore as the first set of four brothers to play in the same top-level side for more than a century. And now Sam, 24, and uncapped twins Tom and George, 21, will be generating more history at the October-November World Cup in England and Wales as the first trio of brothers to be chosen in an England rugby league squad, though there is no place for older brother Luke. It is an extraordinary tale for the Burgess clan who have made

The Burgess boys with mother Julie after a South Sydney game.

their presence felt in the hurlyburly of the NRL. The opportunity for the brothers to thrive in the NRL came after Crowe spotted Sam by chance while filming for “Robin Hood” on location in England. Oscar-winner Crowe saw him on television while he was playing for the Bradford Bulls - where was given his debut by England coach Steve McNamara at 17 - and was so impressed he gave him a call. Sam linked up with the Rabbitohs in 2010 and

was joined by sibling Luke, 26, the following year from Leeds Rhinos. George followed in 2012 and Tom joined the fray this year. The four turned out together on the same ground on the night of August 30 when they played in the final stages of the Rabbitohs’ 32-18 win over Wests Tigers, watched by their mother, Julie, sitting in the stands with Crowe. The four-brother feat was last accomplished 103 years ago in the competition.

“It’s something we dreamt of as kids but we didn’t expect it to happen this quickly,” Sam said. “It’s fantastic and great credit to the twins for how they’ve come on in the last two years. I’m really proud of the family. The team is our family and we’ve been working extremely hard.” There was early heartbreak for the Burgess boys when their father, Mark, died from motor neurone disease aged only 45. Crowe holds such affection for the clan that the seat beside him at every home game is saved ... as a place for their late father. The brothers are huge physical specimens - Sam stands 1.96 metres and weighs 116 kg and his brothers are hewn of the same stuff, and they make a considerable impact on the field. Now the Burgess boys, minus Luke, are looking to translate their impact to the international level. - AFP

In brief Blues get Donnelly Former All Black lock Tom Donnelly announced yesterday he is also heading north to join the Blues next year. The 32-year-old former Highlander and Crusader has signed with the franchise for one year and said he was looking forward to a fresh new challenge. With the departure of key locks Ali Williams and Anthony Boric at the end of last season, Blues head coach Sir John Kirwan said Donnelly would provide invaluable experience at the lineout in their absence. “We’ve signed young Patrick Tuipulotu and have Liaki Moli and Culum Retallick as our other locks so we felt we needed a little more experience and Tom will certainly bring that,” Kirwan said. The Blues have also secured the services of Jerome Kaino, and League convert Benji Marshall.

Chiefs sign Muliaina Former All Blacks fullback Mils Muliaina will make a dramatic return to New Zealand rugby with the Chiefs next season. Muliaina, who played 100 tests for the All Blacks in his eight years at the top level, has been signed from Japanese club NTT Docomo Red Hurricanes, for whom he has played for two seasons. The 33-year-old will cover fullback, midfield and the wing. Muliaina said: “I have really enjoyed my time in Japan playing for a great company, NTT Docomo but I am grateful for the opportunity to play Super Rugby again in New Zealand for another team that I am passionate about.” - APNZ

Fruean on the move The Chiefs have also signed former Crusaders centre Robbie Fruean, who recently had heart surgery. A Chiefs’ statement said Fruean, 25, had returned to full exercise training and was on track to return to contact training and playing in early 2014. “I am thankful for the chance to return to rugby at this level and am really looking forward to the Chiefs environment and the beginning of a new and important chapter for me,” Fruean said. Chiefs coach Dave Rennie said: “Robbie is big and powerful and Mils is one of the most experienced players in New Zealand rugby so both are great additions to our squad.”

Mealamu ‘dark horse’ If Keven Mealamu were a racehorse, punters would have little appraisal on his form. If they could bet on his work in half a match, because he is unlikely to get much more against the Wallabies tonight in Dunedin, they’d wonder if Mealamu could do the business and make an impact. He has been so lightly raced this season there was an impression he was heading for the knacker’s yard. That was never in Mealamu’s thoughts. But four starts and a few other shifts from the bench during the Super 15 season, then five substitute appearances in the All Black programme, suggested other things to the public. Perhaps the impact of 107 tests was starting to bite. “This is my first start for the season so I am really excited and I love playing down here in Dunedin, so I’m looking forward to taking the opportunity,” was Mealamu’s thoughtful response. - NZH

Meads Cup final the carrot BY JONATHAN LEASK

JONATHAN.L@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

A maiden Meads Cup victory is the driving force for Mid Canterbury when they take on West Coast in the Heartland rugby championship semi-finals in Ashburton today. The Hammers have come close to reaching the pinnacle of the Heartland Championship but have so far fallen short, and have another opportunity this year. A lot of change has already occurred with this team under coach Glenn Moore.

Mid Canterbury changed their approach, playing a more expansive style that while being high risk comes with high reward as they had the second best attacking record and had seven wins from eight games, to finish top of the table. Their defence, ranked third in 2012, has again been a feature of the side but has stepped up a level to be the best in the competition. The one thing Moore has left to change is Mid Canterbury’s finals record. Mid Canterbury’s last cham-

Future uncertain for ex-pat prop

pionship win at national provincial level was the third division in 1998, under the old three-tier format. In the modern era of the Heartland Championship they have punched above their weight, finishing in the top four in the inaugural year in 2006 up until 2010, and making two finals, but they lost both to Wanganui (having lost three semi-finals to Wanganui and one to North Otago). Only captain Jon Dampney, hooker James Carr and prop Tukulua Tolu still remain in the

squad from 2010, and the experienced trio will lead the Hammers’ forward pack into a rugged battle up-front with a big West Coast forward pack, with the possession stakes the key to either side’s success. West Coast also have a big desire to break their championship drought. Following on from a poor showing in the old format, West Coast have only featured in the top four once in 2008, beaten by Wanganui in the semi-finals. They then lost the 2009

The 2014 Super 15 squads are starting to take shape and will be formally announced on October 30, but Tasman prop Tim Perry is concentrating on the task at hand. With World Cup winning All Black prop Tony Woodcock returning to the Blues for 2014 it means Perry will have to re-evaluate his options, but the former Mid Canterbury prop is too busy preparing for Tasman’s ITM Cup championship semi-final against Southland in Blenheim. “I’m concentrating on the semi-final with Tasman and not worrying about the other stuff too much,” Perry said. Perry has been named to start for the Makos alongside a fellow local product, flanker Gary Redmond, who missed much of the early action recovering from injury. Redmond has been handed the start in the number seven jersey after captain and flanker Shane Christie suffered a head knock in their win over Manawatu a week earlier, and hasn’t been cleared to play. Perry is having another strong campaign for the Nelson-Marlborough amalgamation, scoring a try in last week’s win over Manawatu to help ensure the top spot and home-field advantage. “It’s all going pretty good. A few off games here and there but reasonably happy.” If Tasman get past Southland, as top qualifiers, they will then host the championship final with promotion to the premiership next season up for grabs. Either way Perry has some thinking to do about his future. He played a maiden Super 15 season with the Blues earlier this year, starting seven games, but now has to weigh up his options for a second stint next year after the All Black incumbent moved back to the Blues. The 32-year-old Woodcock is the most capped All Black prop (104 caps) and just the second player to reach 100 games for the Blues, and coach Sir John Kirwan was thrilled to welcome back a player with his credentials and vast experience. However, it puts an extra prop in the picture to stand in the way of Perry’s playing time so a shift to another franchise could be on the cards.

In case any All Blacks have shelved discomfort, coach Steve Hansen sho pen Brisbane 2012 in red warning on the whiteboard. In capitals, as well, to highlight w occurs when any team, no matter premier rating in world rugby, negl some of the basics about preparing a test match. In Hansen’s unique vocabulary, All Blacks did not go “bone deep” their work at Brisbane a year ago were fortunate to end with a stalem against a Wallaby side they had alre beaten twice. Instead of celebrating Keven M amu’s 100th test they skulked back the dressing room as Australians ebrated. The All Blacks failed to get the ward ascendancy they needed struggled at the breakdown in the mid conditions in Brisbane. The s ters up front had a ripple effect thro the backline. This year they have gone throug similar run, beating all-comers incl ing the Wallabies twice with tonig third duel in Dunedin, the final dom tic display before the tour to Japan Europe. Seven of the pack who gloomily f off Suncorp Stadium have been aske make amends in Dunedin, only Bro Retallick has been benched to allow emy Thrush a start. Initially the acid is on that septe make inroads and set the Wallabies their heels. Scrum, lineout, ruck, fence - they all have to be on the mo Recent evidence, said Hansen, show the All Blacks had an edge on the W labies. Using that advantage against a W laby side everyone thought the Blacks should beat was the task, answering that challenge had to be mental tag for the team.

t for Heartland hopefuls Lochore Cup final to North Otago. This year the coast has developed a habit for claiming silverware. It took 37 years but they won the Seddon Shield at the start of the season when they beat Nelson. Next they beat Buller for the Rundle Cup, East Coast for the Arthur Wickes Memorial Cup, and then South Canterbury for the Coal Pit Trophy. Only one of the sides will get the chance to play for a maiden Meads Cup in next week’s final.

Mid Canterbury will have to be at their attacking best at the Showgrounds today.

“We know we have got the advantage ever so slightly over them but if we relax then we lose that advantage. So it is as much mental preparation as anything else. “We have to respect them totally and we have to prepare to the utmost of our ability,” Hansen warned. That did not happen a year ago in Brisbane but the squad had made some adjustments and felt they had gained a little extra by delaying their assembly this week. The staff had also asked the squad to show they could back up their superb work in Johannesburg with a repeat display in Dunedin. Sports teams throughout history struggled with that concept and the All Blacks were driven to alter that pattern. This was their stage to make that sort of statement as a springboard for their end of year expedition. The Lions series win against the Wallabies has given sides in Europe an extra fillip, so a statement tonight about the All Blacks’ form against the same rival would be a useful message. Attention to all areas will be crucial because the Wallabies showed against the Pumas how they could score tries if they got some latitude. “[Quade] Cooper is very flairy and when he is allowed to play without pressure he is very dangerous,” said Hansen. “We will need to be awake defensively because he will do the unexpected.” A change to centre for Ben Smith, the reintroduction of Keven Mealamu and the start for Jeremy Thrush will all be scrutinised for their impact on the team dynamics. If the All Blacks are put under the pump for sustained periods, do they have the ability to extricate themselves from the sort of squeeze they suffered in Brisbane, or will they be able to produce the style their staff know they have? - NZH

Auks hope to improve Unlocking the secret to improving their performances on the road will go a long way towards helping Auckland in their ITM Cup semi-final against Canterbury in Christchurch this afternoon. Losses to Bay of Plenty, Waikato and Otago during the past couple of years, when Auckland were heavy favourites, have punctuated their campaigns and provided some head-scratching moments for coach Wayne Pivac. Auckland have travelled to Christchurch to meet the five-time-defendingchampions Canterbury at AMI Stadium, and after today’s game one side won’t have to worry about training next week and can start planning their trips to the beach. Canterbury have dominated provincial rugby since 2008 and have a stacked squad they can call upon. - APNZ

Revenge can be tricky Revenge is sweet but it can also be a bitter pursuit. And Otago is not bitter - just determined to return to the top tier. That is what will motivate this team when it hosts Hawkes Bay in the Championship semifinal at Forsyth Barr Stadium tomorrow, coach Tony Brown says. As far as he is concerned, the Ranfurly Shield is gone and it was fun while it lasted. The team has not revisited what happened on that Sunday afternoon six weeks ago. Not that anyone needs reminding, but Hawkes Bay wrestled the Log o’ Wood from Otago’s grasp with a dramatic 20-19 victory. ”We had it, we lost it. Now it is all about winning a semi, making the final and we are not too bothered by who we play,” said Brown. - ODT

Quade fresh and ready Quade Cooper this week released a picture of himself leaping into Lake Wakatipu at Queenstown, water so cold swimmers rarely enter it at the height of summer let alone in spring with snow clearly visible on Cecil Peak. The controversial Wallabies’ first-five’s only comment attached to the snap, sent to his Twitter followers, was “Fresh”. Hopefully the shock of his extreme ice bath will awaken something in him, for he needs to fire against the All Blacks tonight for his sake and for the sake of his team. - APNZ

D-Day looms for Lauren BY JONATHAN LEASK

JONATHAN.L@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Monday is the day Hinds cyclist Lauren Ellis has been waiting for. The New Zealand track cycling teams to contest the upcoming UCI World Cup season and November’s Oceania Championships in Invercargill will be named on Monday. The team will be announced at the SIT Velodrome in Invercargill on Monday morning before a training session. The World Cup team will leave later in the week to contest the opening round of the UCI World Cup in Manchester on November 1-3, before returning for the UCI Tier One event at Invercargill on November 16-17, which will be followed by the Oceania Championships on November 19-22. Ellis will be hoping her name gets called out so she can get back on the track and work towards next year’s Commonwealth Games. The last major track meet Ellis attended was the London Olympics in July-August last year, meaning she hasn’t competed at the top in over a year. BikeNZ cut back their international attendance in the short term with the long term goal of having a nest egg to throw at the Rio Olympics. She has been left riding the road this year after BikeNZ made cutbacks, only having the one international hit-out in July contesting five days of UCI tier one competition in Adelaide.

Third title beckons Dixon

Turf still in use

BY ERIC THOMPSON New Zealand IndyCar driver Scott Dixon is determined to nail his third IRL title this weekend in the season finale at Fontana, California. To give himself every chance of success, Dixon and his Target Chip Ganassi Racing team have decided to fit a new engine to the number nine car. As a result, no matter where Dixon qualifies he’ll be hit with a 10-place grid penalty. His nearest rival in the race for the championship, Helio Castroneves, is only 25 points behind and he, too, has decided to fit a new engine. The 800km race is tough on engines, and because of the length of the race, and ease of overtaking, making up the ground lost through the penalty shouldn’t be too much of a problem for the title contenders. Dixon has had his work cut out getting himself into contention this year. At one stage early in the season the Kiwi was in eighth, looking at another season going begging. But Dixon knuckled down and went about his business on a race-to-race basis, and sure enough things turned around at Pocono where he began a threerace winning streak. He picked up another win a few races later to end up leading the series before the last race this weekend. “Every year is different and this year we’ve put ourselves in a good position with one race to go,” said Dixon. “But it all can be taken away just as quickly as it comes your way. “You just have to look at Helio and the 74-point flip that happened to him. You wouldn’t

POINTS TABLE 1. Scott Dixon 2. Helio Castroneves 3. Simon Pagenaud 4. Justin Wilson 5. Marco Andretti 6. Ryan Hunter-Reay 7. Will Power 8. Dario Franchitti have thought that was possible. “We’ll go out there strong and just run our race and try and win. If we win the race, that takes care of the championship plain and simple. “But The Chevy cars are going to be strong and the Penske guys will be pulling out all the stops. “It’s been such a mixed year and Helio has really been the only one who has been consistent all season until last weekend. Up until then he’d finished every single race - 16 races in a row - that’s almost unheard of. “We started the season strong, bottomed out, then hit the rebound again winning, then crashed out after that and then came good again. It’s been a rocky road that’s for sure.” A fair amount of the grief

involving Dixon in recent races has come via Australian driver Will Power who has been a factor in a chunk of Dixon’s misfortune this year. The pair seem to have a fatal on-track attraction for each other and it’s gotten a bit tense at times with Dixon being fined by the organisers for speaking his mind. “We get on pretty well off the track, but Will is an interesting bloke,” Dixon said. “Normally we have a lot of respect for each other during races, but Baltimore was the exception. “Then things got a bit rough in race two at Houston. “I’m sure he’ll be okay this weekend and race smart. “I’m sure he doesn’t want to be the guy who’s known as in-

fluencing how the championship pans out.” Dixon has only to finish fifth or better to win his third title, regardless of where his rivals finish. If he leads a lap or picks up other bonus points, he’ll need only a sixth-place finish. With Dario Franchitti out injured after his airborne crash in Houston, Alex Tagliani has been drafted in to be Dixon’s wingman for the race. “It’s kind of funny how it’s all turned around with Helio and the championship,” Dixon said. “I’ve been trying to chase him all season and because of his dramas in the last race weekend, he now has to chase me. “We’ll just go out there and ... do our own thing and try to win.” - NZH

Mid Canterbury Hockey is currently taking entries and looking to start the competition on November 22, with entries closing on November 8. It is not just the adults lining able to enjoy some summer sun on the turf with Small Sticks Summer Hockey also starting on November 18. The Monday-afternoon six-aside competition will have three grades (Year 1-2, Year 3-6, Year 7) for four weeks, with entries closing on November 4.

Ferns given targets Individual performances will be just as important as achieving team goals for the Silver Ferns in next week’s series against Malawi. After a poor series against Australia, in which the Silver Ferns recorded four straight losses to the Diamonds - their worst string of results in 15 years, there are a long list of work-ons to be ticked off against Malawi. Ferns coach Waimarama Taumaunu has given all her players individual targets to be met, as well as team goals to work towards as they close in on Commonwealth Games year. The African nation will kick off their inaugural tour of New Zealand on Thursday in Wellington, with Napier to host the second test and Hamilton the finale. - NZH

In brief Typhoon toll up to 18 The death toll in Vietnam in the high winds and rain triggered by Typhoon Nari has risen to 18, with three still missing, authorities say. Seven bodies were discovered yesterday, including those of two men killed after being buried by a landslide in Quang Nam province, the National Search and Rescue Committee said. Typhoon Nari made landfall around 7am (1100 AEDT) on Tuesday, destroying houses, uprooting trees and causing power outages. Around 120,000 people were evacuated to makeshift shelters. Floods inundated more than 87,000 homes, while nearly 14,000 homes were destroyed or damaged. - DPA

Quake kills 172 The death toll from a 7.1-magnitude earthquake that struck the central Philippines has risen to 172 as authorities warned it would probably climb even higher. The tourist island of Bohol, which was the epicentre of Tuesday’s quake, suffered the most with 160 people dead, the civil defence office for the region said yesterday. Twelve others were killed on other central islands. Bohol police commander Senior Superintendent Dennis Agustin said 22 people were missing on the island, including five children who were playing by a waterfall when the quake hit. It was unlikely many of them would be found alive, he warned. - AFP

‘Miracle’ escape from bushfire By Sophie Tarr As the flames licked at her home and thick plumes of black smoke blocked her path to safety, Catherine Hubbard made her eldest son a promise. “He was telling me to get out, crying,” she recalled yesterday. “I said ‘Look, I will do everything I can to be okay’.” The mum-of-five made a terrifying escape from the bushfire that ripped through the lower Blue Mountains on Thursday, destroying scores of homes around Springwood, Yellow Rock and Winmalee. She returned yesterday, em-

bracing her daughter Amy as the pair took in the rubble and ashes that had been their home. “It was just completely gutted, to the ground,” she said. “There was nothing left except a baby cup my daughter had when she was little.” The family is now homeless and their belongings were uninsured, but Ms Hubbard said the fact she survived at all was a “miracle”. She’d been napping when disaster struck - woken by a phone call from a worried colleague, wanting to know if she was near the fires. “I hung up and said ‘I’ll be

fine’,” she said. “But when I went out and checked outside my veranda there was a tree alight and fire all around the backyard.” She threw the pets in the car but was blocked by “a wall of smoke”. Frantic, she approached strangers on the street and asked if she could seek shelter in their home. “The sun was totally blocked out and houses were burning down to the ground all around us,” she said. Without running water, the neighbours used buckets and wet towels - “whatever we could get our hands on” - to douse

embers, knowing the house was their only refuge. Then came a change in the wind. This time, the sudden shift that so often turns deadly in bushfires cleared a path through the smoke instead. “It was a miracle, actually,” Ms Hubbard said. She plans to take her youngest kids back to the shell of their old house on Saturday, “to give them closure”. Then the rebuilding begins. “This will be a fresh start for us,” Ms Hubbard said. “We’re a pretty resilient family.” - AAP

Fires claim more than 80 properties Eighty-one properties are confirmed to have been destroyed and 37 damaged by blazes in the Blue Mountains. The losses were calculated by a multi-agency team that was assessing buildings around Springwood and Winmalee

yesterday, The Rural Fire Service (RFS) spokesman said. But with only 30 per cent of the area so far being inspected, the RFS expects the numbers to rise. Following a ferocious fire on Thursday, the community of

Springwood was again placed on emergency alert when the blaze sparked and forced the evacuation of Springwood High School. One local, Helen Walton, who has lived through three major bushfires since moving

to the mountains said the fire - which scorched almost 2000 hectares - was by far the worst she had seen. Her house remains standing but her prize backyard has been reduced to ashes. - AAP

At least 17 bodies have been recovered after a Lao Airlines plane plummeted into the Mekong River killing all on board, including six Australians, in Laos’ worst air disaster. Forty-nine passengers and crew, more than half of them foreigners from nearly a dozen countries, were on board the turboprop ATR-72 when it went down in stormy weather on Wednesday. Volunteers searched the swollen river on boats of all sizes yesterday, mustered for the grim task of plucking the dead from the turbulent waters and its muddy banks. The aircraft sank to the bottom of the river. Rescuers said that recovering the wreckage would be an extremely difficult task, complicated by raging currents. - AFP

Peace talks ‘possible’ Syria says peace talks could be possible next month amid international efforts to push for a conference in Geneva as a top military intelligence officer was killed in clashes with rebels. Syrian state television announced yesterday that Major General Jamaa Jamma “was martyred while carrying out his national duties to defend Syria and its people and pursuing terrorists in Deir Ezzor”. Jamaa was in charge of military intelligence in the eastern province, where jihadist forums said he was killed in clashes with radical Islamist fighters. The peace process will get a renewed push from US Secretary of State John Kerry, who will travel to London next week for a meeting of the core countries making up the Friends of Syria, the State Department said. Kerry said “we are trying to move the process forward.” - AFP

Breast Cancer AWARENESS MONTH

Five months ago, the bombshell brunette had a double mastectomy, not because she had cancer, but all in the name of prevention. She sacrificed seemingly ‘healthy boobies’, to eliminate the high risk of getting breast cancer. When someone who is arguably one of the most beautiful woman in the world removes part of her body that is a symbol of femininity and sexuality, many asked the question, 'Why would she do that?

becoming pro-active about their own breast health.

Her actions were considered drastic by many, but by doing the complete opposite of saving her breasts, she lifted breast cancer awareness to a whole new level.

The New York Daily News recently wrote, "My chances of developing breast cancer have dropped from 87 percent to under five percent. I can tell my children that they don’t need to fear they will lose me to breast cancer," Jolie wrote in a surprise op-ed published in The New York Times.”

In New Zealand, breast cancer is still the most common form of cancer to affect New Zealand women, with 2,750 women diagnosed each year, as well as 20 men. That equates to around seven women every day being told the heart-breaking news that they have breast cancer.

Angelina went through three months of treatment while having her double mastectomy, to avoid suffering a similar fate which took her mother. Angelina’s mother, Marcheline Bertrand, carried the

over the age of 40, but many women in their twenties and thirties are diagnosed with the disease, meaning more women should be proactive in talking to their GP about breast cancer. While most women who are diagnosed will battle through and overcome breast cancer, more than 600 women in New Zealand alone, still die needlessly because of the disease. That’s almost two women per day. So this October, when you are donating generously to support this worthy cause, don’t do it to save the boobies. Do it to save our mothers, our sisters, our daughters. Do it, to save a life.

Breast Cancer AWARENESS MONTH

In life we experience a multitude of moments which pass us by, some fleeting and some memorable, some scary, and some we look back upon and realise how lucky we were to survive. But surviving cancer is not one of those fleeting moments. It takes endurance and courage to overcome, and tests your faith every day. From the moment you receive the results from your doctor confirming that you have cancer, the fight begins. Every day after that, you are a survivor. Christine Jones was diagnosed with breast cancer three months ago. The 56-year-old mother-of-three, had been vigilant with cancer precautions, and had come through a mammogram in September last year with no anomalies discovered. But less than a year later, Christine discovered a lump on her chest. “I never for a moment even thought it would be breast cancer, because it wasn’t really on my breast, it was higher up on my chest, just on the edge of my breast. I had recently lost weight from working on a dairy farm, so I thought possibly it was a change that had occurred from that,” Christine said. So initially, thinking nothing of it, Christine didn’t take any action. A month passed, and the lump was still there. Christine had thoughts that perhaps it was a rose thorn creating an infection, but then after a few more

months had passed, decided that it was uncharacteristic of anything she had experienced before, and decided to see her GP, Dr Andrea Robinson at Allenton Medical Centre.

visits with the breast-care nurse in Ashburton to have her wounds from surgery checked, and is now enduring radiation therapy, as a precautionary measure to ensure all of the cancer cells are destroyed.

“Dr Robinson called me as soon as she received the test results. I couldn’t believe this was happening to me. It’s not something you think you will go through, it’s something that happens to other people.

She will undergo 20 radiation treatments in Christchurch which target the entire breast, as well as four ‘boost’ treatments which focus on the area where the cancer was. She will have a year of regular checkups to follow, and it will take five years before she can receive an all-clear from the oncologist.

“I’m from a large family, I have 9 brothers and sisters, and we’re all quite close. We were on holiday together at Hanmer earlier this year, and we had talked about how wonderful it was that we were all still fit and healthy. I didn’t know at the time that I was sitting there with cancer,” Christine said. Dr Robinson referred Christine to a specialist in Christchurch, Dr Josephine Todd. “She was very lovely to deal with, and gave me immense faith that I was in good hands. She discussed my results with me, and then went through my options for treatment. She was very thorough and informative. “Because we had caught my cancer early, I had the option of having a lumpectomy instead of a mastectomy, and that is the option I chose,” Christine said. Christine underwent two operations to remove the lump, as during the first operation the surgeons didn’t fully remove the affected area. She has regular

While the experience has been frightening at times, Christine has praise for all the people she has met so far along her journey. “I have been humbled by the kindness of everyone I have met. Nothing has been a bother for the oncologist, and the nurses and doctors have been positive and supportive. Once I was diagnosed everything moved rather quickly, which I was grateful for. It was only a matter of days, not weeks or months before action was taken and plans were put in place. I’ve received fantastic care. “I have nothing but praise for the Cancer Society also. Annie has been brilliant to talk to, and their volunteers are positive, helpful and supportive. The services they offer, such as driving patients to Christchurch for treatment, is invaluable. They do an incredible job,” Christine commented.

it removed. I just wanted the best chance of surviving, so I was willing to sacrifice that,” Nicky said. It was a decision that saved Nicky from further operations and potentially saved her life. “I was fortunate I chose a mastectomy, as after they removed my breast, they found a second tumour that they didn’t realise was there. They call it a breakaway, where part of the original tumour breaks apart and grows in a different part of the breast. It hadn’t shown up on the mammogram, so it was lucky that I had opted for full breast removal,” Nicky said.

Following chemotherapy Nicky then had radiation therapy. For four weeks, Nicky was treated every day, Monday to Friday. Following her treatment she was checked on every three months, and after a year had passed, Nicky’s symptoms were good enough to allow her to have her breast reconstructed.

After her operation, Nicky began chemotherapy.

This Christmas, four years will have passed since Nicky’s diagnosis, and she has a checkup once every six months with her specialist Josie, or an oncologist. Once the magical five year mark has passed, Nicky will then only require a check-up once per year.

“I called it my ‘roundup juice’, you have to make fun of it and laugh your way through it because it’s pretty horrible. I would make sure I had something yummy for lunch on the day that I had chemo, because for the next few days after you really didn’t feel like eating anything. The side-effects would normally begin to take effect the day after treatment, and the nausea was dreadful,” Nicky said.

As a precaution, Nicky takes hormone therapy to discourage any cancer from returning. Different types of cancer are receptive to different drugs, and Nicky’s was receptive to a drug called Tamoxifen. The hormone therapy means it puts your body through menopause, so Nicky is unable to have children, but she still believes that cancer has given her more than it has taken away.

“I can look at life with new appreciation. I’m thankful for every day. “We place too much emphasis on work, when life is about stopping to smell the roses. Doing the things you love to do, appreciating the little things. “Life can send you on a journey you don’t want to go on, but you don’t have a choice. You just have to strap yourself in, and be willing to learn along the way,” Nicky said. Nicky’s advice is to be more aware of your own body, and to listen to when it’s trying to tell you that you may be unwell. “Get to know your body. I was tired a lot, I had headaches, but I did what most of us do, I took a pill to cover up the pain and got on with it. But now looking back, I believe it was my body’s way of letting me know that something wasn’t right. “Listen to the symptoms your body throws at you. Don’t take the typical Kiwi attitude of ‘she’ll be right’. Because it might not be right.

“Don’t be afraid to ask for help, and I encourage to talk about what you’re going through. If you had asked me four years ago if I thought I’d be the type of person who would openly talk about breast cancer, I would laugh, but I’ve found talking has really helped me to get through. Staying positive, and surrounding yourself with positive people. “Women often ask me questions about my treatments and side-effects, and I’m always happy to talk to them about it. If I can help just one women by sharing my journey, then that’s what it is all about,” Nicky said. Lessons learnt in cancer can be related to many areas of life, no matter what struggle you may be facing. Educate yourself to be able to make informed decisions. Ask questions and be prepared to receive an answer, good or bad. Let people help you and accept their love and support.

ne of Ashburton’s biggest homes was opened to the public last weekend for tours, raising more than $1500 dollars for the Pink Ribbon appeal.

anyway. We would have loved to extend it for people, but at the end of the day it is a private home first and foremost.” Covering more than 1000 square metres, the Park Street house took three years for local tradesmen to complete, and features plenty of antique and imported features. She said that plenty of people donated their time to make the fundraiser a success, and all funds raised would be donated to the New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation.

Childhood industry covering everything from having the ability to communicate effectively with children, having knowledge and skills in an Early Childhood sector, understanding children’s basic needs, understanding their behaviours and having an understanding of the Early Childhood curriculum - Te Whariki.” “I love that we go out on placement - getting experience in an Early Childhood centre and learning from that environment.” “We have fun while learning and the polytechnic is an awesome environment to learn in” says Alisha.

shleigh Fraser studied business papers on a part-time basis at Aoraki Polytechnic and is a graduate in the Diploma in Applied Business (Human Resource Management), New Zealand Diploma in Business. “I chose to study at Aoraki because of the local, friendly team there. The tutors have real experience and are practical in their learning, this helps what you learn take on real world application that you can easily transfer to your career on a day to day basis. “Learning at Aoraki in such a supportive environment (the tutors truly

care about your success) has formed lifelong friendships. “Working as an Advertising Consultant as the Ashburton Guardian has seen me use many of the skills I learnt in my studies. This job is high pressure and very fast paced but by applying what I learnt at Aoraki I am able to achieve my goals and keep my head above water (most of the time!) “Highlights of my time in study were winning the Zonta womens scholarship. Highlight in my career thus far - winning the 2013 Panpa advert award”. says Ashleigh.

your success

Great range of programmes

Aoraki’s programmes are vocationally orientated and have been developed in collaboration with industry. They will equip you well for employment and provide a firm foundation for future study.

EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST Play your part in local water management We need your knowledge, passion, experience, and ability to work collaboratively to help deliver benefits from Canterbury’s water resource to your community. The Canterbury Water Management Strategy (CWMS) is an innovative and bold new way of managing our fresh water. The strategy affects every person in Canterbury, because it sets goals for freshwater management for now and the future. It will help to ensure safe drinking water supplies, sustainable farming practices and clean rivers and streams, as well as enhancing recreational opportunities and protecting environment and cultural values. Six of Canterbury’s ten zone committees are now calling for expressions of interest for new community members. This will enable each committee to refresh two community members each year for the next three years, and ensure new perspectives will be represented on the committees, while still ensuring continuity.

YOUR STARS by Forecasters

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20) Falling in your sign, this weekend’s lunar eclipse not only marks the halfway point in your solar year but is a chance to take your power back. TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) The premise behind this weekend’s lunar eclipse is to get you to stop, think, look at things from a different perspective and challenge old assumptions. GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) Leave reality at the door and instead embrace the notion that following your hunches has the power to put you in the right place at the right time. CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) This weekend’s lunar eclipse has the power to suddenly make everything make sense, at a time when you have the means to do something about it. LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) While there is likely to be a bit of intensity in the air today, sometimes it’s those strong reactions to things that provide the insight we need. VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) Leave no room for assumptions, especially that others are mind readers and know what you mean, regardless of what you do or don’t say. LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) There is a chance this weekend for a communication and relationship breakthrough, especially if you wear your heart on your sleeve. SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) With new doors opening on the work front it’s more important than ever to look at where your time and energy is going, working smarter not harder. SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) Find time to hear yourself think and to take stock, especially with an important professional week waiting on the other side of the weekend. CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) The stars bring a reminder of the importance of having the right balance between work and play, not because you should but because you can. AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) With the Sun returning to your career sector next week, take time out over the weekend to deal with any work/life balance issues, while you can. PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 20) Having the Moon visit your communication sector as Mars spends his first weekend in your relationship sector is an advantage that can’t be wasted.
