Ashburton becoming a safer place

By Sam Morton Ashburton is becoming a safer place, despite what some people may think.

Three year incident figures compiled by Talbot Security Group show a general decline in most low-level crimes from 2010 to 2012.

The reports only capture half of 2012, but early totals indicate the trend has continued.

All incidents reported were attended by TSG security personnel and are independent from police crime figures.

The security firm, which is patrolling Ashburton 24 hours, every day of the year, provides an intriguing insight into life after dark in the town.

The total number of fights and assaults has dropped, the tally of youth events dealt with has fallen almost 50 per cent and a gradual decline is evident in the number of liquor ban infringement notices or warnings being handed out.

Managing director Dean Talbot, who established the company in 2007, said all evidence is pointing firmly to Ashburton becoming a safer place.

“Definitely from what we’re seeing, the place is nowhere near as bad as it once was,” Mr Talbot said.

“Every incident physically dealt with by us, we will record and categorise. This isn’t to be confused with police statistics, but it does give a clear indication of where we see things are at.

“People respect our cars and that’s a deterrent. They know that if we see something that shouldn’t be happening, then we’re not just going to drive by and leave them – we’re going to stop and it’s through our hard work that we’re making a difference,” he said.

Last month a spate of burglaries was reported in Ashburton and Allenton.

Business manager Colin Zhong, who had his Coin Save store targeted, told the Guardian he felt unsafe and suggested installing window bars after repetitive attacks on his shop front windows.

However, police statistics from the June 2012 fiscal year and anecdotal evidence pains a different picture.

Safer Ashburton general manager Kevin Clifford also believes Ashburton is getting safer.

The organisation operates a Safety Ambassadors programme in the CBD, contracted by the Ashburton District Council for 12 hours every weekend.

“I look at police statistics in Ashburton and I look at other areas. Comparatively we seem to

Kevin Clifford be at the lower end of the scale and we are maintaining a status as a safe town,” Mr Clifford said.

“We do record incident reports and send them to the council and the police, but anecdotally it’s fair to say the streets are getting safer.

“We’re not seeing any increase in incidents and we’re getting good feedback that there are some very effective deterrents in place – and that’s not just the ambassadors, that’s the police, security companies and Townwatch all working together.”

Mr Clifford said historically Ashburton had a reputation for being a violent town, but believes the hard work of all organisations is starting to pay off.

“I recall 20 years ago, there would be regular fights in the street and a high level of violence.

“It’s hard to say exactly why the statistics are dropping, other than the collective work from everyone committed to making our town a safer place.

“Whatever the reason, it’s certainly something to celebrate,” Mr Clifford said.

burgle fell from 757 to 558 incidents, theft and related offences dropped almost 20 per cent, property damage fell from 1471 to 1229 and public order offences dropped almost 25 per cent.

Despite the gradual turnaround, Mr Talbot believes too many businesses in Ashburton are leaving crime to chance.

As you would expect, Mr Talbot insists other businesses in the area are not being targeted because they have the services of a security company and other security measures.

“Until businesses start putting their hands in their pockets to protect their property, then opportunists are going to keep playing the system,” he said.

“The reality is it’s a user pays system, if you want crime to reduce in your area then you need to contribute to providing that high level of security.”

The above table shows a general decline in low-level crime in Ashburton.

By Susan Sandys The Variety Theatre of Ashburton’s wardrobe department is operating from a Rosebank Residential Village villa as it prepares for its upcoming Miss Saigon production.

President Bridget Danielson said she and other theatre volunteers were grateful to Rosebank for providing the villa after the theatre rooms were closed recently due to earthquake damage.

“We have this nice new villa, we can sit in there and sew and alter the costumes,” she said.

Costumes, props and the set for Miss Saigon, which the theatre will stage in May, arrived in a shipping container from Wellington on Wednesday.

A range of kimono style dresses, army uniforms and satin outfits for “night time ladies” were unpacked by volunteers.

Mrs Danielson said the set would remain in the container which would be stored at Talley’s,

also free of charge. Talley’s had also provided the truck yesterday, to transport the shipping container from the town’s railway yard to Rosebank.

Rosebank general manager Sue Prowse is also the wardrobe manager for the theatre company.

She said Rosebank had been more than happy to help out the Variety Theatre by providing use of the villa.

“We had some capacity, we were aware that they needed

somewhere to help develop their show,” she said.

“Not everything is about money is it, it’s about helping other organisations who don’t receive any funding,” she said.

She was looking forward to working with other volunteers in the villa to fit the more than 100 costumes to Miss Saigon actors.

It was great to see them arrive, and they already looked spectacular.

“I think they are going to look great,” she said.

Council prepared to pick up lights bill

By Sue Newman The need for traffic lights in Tinwald is so urgent, the Ashburton District Council is prepared to foot the bill for the work.

At yesterday’s council meeting, councillor Darryl Nelson said the Tinwald lights had been talked about for too long, it was time for action. The project had been tentatively planned by the New Zealand Transport Agency for 2015/2016, but Mr Nelson said that was too far out.

“If you want anything done then you have to do it yourself. If this council has to pick up the tab to put in the lights, then this is what we should do.”

Worst case scenario, the traffic signals would cost the council $1.75 million, but it is likely the transport agency will make some contribution. The support funding, however, could push the

Darryl Nelson project out too far for most councillors.

The council is in on-going discussions with the transport agency and has built a strong case for the project to proceed, based on accident statistics and the positive impact lights would have on traffic flows along the state highway corridor through Ashburton.

A tentative timeframe for the work has funding proposals, consultation and concepts programmed for completion by the end of June, detailed investigation and design to be carried out the following year with work starting in 2015/2016.

Having a say on the location of the lights was vital, councillor Stuart Wilson said. He suggested Johnstone Street would be better and cheaper than the transport agency’s preferred option of Lagmhor Road.

While the council would be looking for the most cost effective solution, it would have more say over timing and location if it funded the project itself, council operations manager Rob Rouse said.

“If we’re funding it to some extent, then we’ll have some say in the timing of it. We want the best outcome for the people in Tinwald.”

It was a big ask to have the

project ready for the council’s 2013/2014 budget, Mr Rouse said, because the location and design concept had to be decided, consultation had to be carried out and council approval given.

He suggested this work could be done in time have it included in the 2014/2015 budget.

The higher the council’s funding input the more say it was likely to have in terms of location and timing, he said.

Off-loading of quake costs ‘not on’

By Sue Newman Ratepayers should not be forced to pay for earthquake assessments on commercial properties says Ashburton District Council chief executive Brian Lester.

Off-loading that expense from property owner to ratepayer is one of a raft of recommendations put forward by the Royal Commission as part of its earthquake prone building review, but it’s one the Ashburton council will be vigorously opposing, Mr Lester said.

“Building owners are the ones who have the vested interest in this, not the ratepayers.”

He described the earthquake assessment document as “quite murky” and while Ashburton had moved ahead and adopted a new code, this could require some amendments when the document had been through its discussion stages.

Ashburton was well ahead of many parts of New Zealand in having its new code operational and that meant it was also well ahead of many local authorities in terms of building assessments, he said.

Mayors of several smaller districts have said that forcing the issue on earthquake assessment of pre-1976 buildings could see smaller rural towns become ghost towns. They fear

that owners who could not afford to either strengthen or demolish and rebuild might simply shut their buildings and walk away.

There is no danger of that happening in Ashburton, Mr Lester said because the district’s strong economy made it a good investment prospect.

“We’re a complete different scenario.

We’re well ahead of the game, we have buildings already down and rebuilds planned.”

The commission came up with a formula, based on Quotable Value figures to assess the value of older building stocks in each local authority. It shows that Ashburton has more than 3500 buildings constructed prior

to 1976 but it does not indicate their degree of compliance with the building code.

Depending on the building’s use, its owner must bring it up to 67 per cent of the code within five, 10 or 15 years.

Their other option is to demolish and rebuild. The cost of strengthening buildings to 34 per cent of the code is estimated to be $416 per square metre or $640 to strengthen to 67 per cent of the code.

One clause in the discussion document that has been given a tick by the council is the power to enforce upgrading or demolitions if these are not completed within the timeframe.

The document also introduces areas

• Stripped of stone Thieves have stolen a large quantity of stone cladding that was already attached to a house in the Far North.

of discretion, where the building code requirements may not be so rigidly applied - rural buildings such as halls and churches that are used infrequently and that are not on main roads.

“One of the key focuses of the document is that key access routes, such as state highways must remain unimpeded, while certain building with little passing traffic could be exempted or given a longer period to comply,” Mr Lester said.

The seismic performance document also calls for a public register of earthquake prone buildings to be compiled.

Councils have until March 8 to respond.

• Car up in flames Two women had to run for their lives after the car they were in burst into flames and started a 2000sq m scrub fire that threatened homes in Welcome Bay. The two women had been cutting gorse on a 25-hectare block of family land when they noticed smoke coming from their car. The pair tried to put out the blaze but had to run for their lives when it got out of control.

Artists take recycling to a whole new level

By Susan Sandys Expect the unexpected when Views of Distant Towns opens at the Ashburton Art Gallery tomorrow.

Emerging contemporary artists Marela Glavaš and Mat Logan have been in town this week installing their first public exhibition.

Both artists use second-hand or reused materials to create their bold and intriguing sculptures.

Glavaš left her home north of Auckland to study fine arts at Canterbury University five years ago, and said her work has been strongly influenced by the things

she missed about her rural lifestyle.

“My upbringing has had a huge influence on my practice, I grew up on a farm and have a genuine interest in life and death,” she said Incorporating “things already produced” into her work, Glavaš draws attention to the relationships between animals and people by combining products sourced from animals with domestic objects.

Christchurch is home to Logan, and while he admits the city is a very different place to that he knew when he embarked on his university degree, he said it hasn’t directly impacted on his art.

He incorporates materials such

• Cattery for strays

as goats’ horns, lacrosse sticks, hair and velvet to create thoughtprovoking objects.

The two have worked together on projects before, but this will be the first time the show has been put together in its entirety.

“Once you’ve worked together for a few years, you get to know each other’s practice,” Glavaš said.

“I’ve been in Auckland over the summer, so we haven’t seen much of each other’s work – but it’s all coming together well.”

Views of Distant Towns will open with an artists’ talk on Saturday at 1.30pm and will run until March 24.

Newmont Waihi Gold intends building a cattery at a private address to rehome stray cats living on its property. The cats are living in an old public hall owned by the mine company, a building due to be demolished soon. Newmont spokesperson Kit Wilson said building a cattery “was the right thing to do.

It seems heartless - when the only other option is to have them put down”.

• Nutrient plans All rural properties greater than 4ha will be expected to write management plans to show how they’ll reduce their nutrient use and in particular stop phosphorus leaching into Hawke’s Bay streams and rivers.

Attendance-pass ratio put under microscope

By Myles Hume An Ashburton College study has proven an obvious but sometimes forgotten theory - you have to be at school to pass.

The college compiled a unique study of senior pupils last year to show the direct relationship

between time spent in the classroom and credits earned towards NCEA. A graph supplied to the Guardian for last year’s year 11 pupils showed pupils were more likely to fail NCEA level one if their attendance slipped below 83 per cent.

Pupils with attendance above 85 per cent were likely gain the 80

credits required, and those who did not were mostly special needs pupils or had left college before the year ended.

Principal Grant McMillan said the study was conducted as part of the college’s ongoing drive to improve pass rates and to discover why pupils were not passing.

“We were really surprised about the visual cliff (from 76 to 83 per cent), it’s really clear-cut at 85.5 per cent you are likely to pass,” he said.

“There will always be a small handful of students who find getting to college challenging with the things going on in their lives, but if

Grant McMillan we can use the information to get 10 more students to school and getting a qualification, that’s great.”

The data was revealed to

parents during the past two weeks at information evenings to highlight the importance of being at school.

Mr McMillan said parents were surprised but grateful.

“We showed staff the data at our first staff meeting two to three weeks ago and asked how should we use it? They came back to us quickly and said ‘share it with parents’.

“Not often enough parents have the information they need, but now they can use this as a tool.”

Mr McMillan said the college now hoped to use the data and find reasons for why pupils had low attendance and how the college could get more pupils attending.

Novopay woes cost college $11,000

By Myles Hume Ashburton College has sent an invoice for more than $11,000 to the Ministry of Education.

And its principal Grant McMillan believes the college is not one of the worst off schools burdened by the Novopay system.

Since the teacher payroll system was introduced in August, Ashburton College has devoted two staff to fixing pay woes.

Together they have totalled more than 430 hours additional work on Novopay, or about 15 hours a week, and the minutes keep climbing with each pay round.

He said the decision to send the invoice was not to make a statement, but to be paid for the money the college has lost as a result of Novopay.

The request for paid compensation coincides with the Post Primary Principals’ Association’s group legal action launch over Novopay. They are seeking compensation for the hurt, humiliation and time spent rectifying errors.

A Guardianonline poll found 95 per cent of readers thought schools should be compensated for the troubles they have faced over the payroll system.

However, Mr McMillan said the college was more fortunate than

3

other schools. “I don’t believe we are one of the most affected ... we are identifying issues and things early on because we have found good people to work with and Jo Goodhew has been really good with that.

“Working with her, we have got relationship managers and the two people we have been working with at the ministry have been really good.”

Mr McMillan pointed to a pay round early this year which looked as though 40 staff were not going to be paid at all.

Fortunately, ministry staff were able to manually pay teachers before the pay round went through.

But the reality was that each fortnightly pay round is costing the college about $1000.

They are continually dipping into their operations grants to top up staff pay, and a $20,000 pool of money set aside they were hoping not to touch is looking like it is going to be used.

The Ministry of Education said earlier this week they did not know when the errors were going to stop.

“It should be noted that while everything is being done to remedy the situation as quickly as possible, the reality is that the issues are complex and will take some time to resolve,” a ministry spokesperson said.

Some tips for the weekend

Saturday: • Firebugs set sail The Ashburton Sailing Club is hosting the South Island Firebug championships at Lake Hood with two days of competitive sailing from 11am both days.

• Ride the Rakaia More than 230 cyclists will descend on the small Mid Canterbury town when Ride the Rakaia takes off at 8am. The ride will take competitors to the Rakaia Gorge and back to the Rakaia Domain where stalls and a children’s duathlon will take place as part of the town’s Community Day. • Outdoor market Ashburton’s weekly outdoor arts and crafts market will set up shop in the West Street car park on Saturday. A variety of goods will be on offer. The market runs from 9.30am until 12.30pm.

Matt’s ready to Ride the Rakaia

By Myles Hume Huddled behind his desk and a stack of paperwork, returning Ashburton local Matt Marshall will not need much of a ‘pick me up’ when he turns his first pedal at Ride the Rakaia tomorrow.

By day, Mr Marshall is a solicitor at Goodman Tavendale Reid, but by night the 28-year-old expels his energy on the bike as he prepares for the 103km race.

“I think in some ways my job is a bit of an advantage, you get quite a bit of motivation sitting behind the desk all day so you want to go out and do a bit. I can imagine it would be pretty hard to get out on the bike if you have an active job,” Mr Marshall said.

Returning to Ashburton after

studying in Otago and living in Wellington then Blenheim, Mr Marshall has joined the Tinwald Cycling Club this year where he has evolved what was originally a recreational sport into one he competes in weekly.

On Sunday, Mr Marshall took out the Terrace Downs Coleridge Race, and he will be looking to take that strong form into the race while up against more than 230 other competitors.

“To be honest my chances of winning are slim to none, I’ll be coming up against strong cyclists like Ross Avis and Kevin Opele, so I won’t be looking to win, but I’ll be using this as a practice race before I race in the Forest Graperide in Blenheim.”

He has his own targets in mind, knowing it will be a big challenge when he grapples the Rakaia Gorge climb and then

descends down the other side at high speed, before making the 50km run to the finish.

“There’s not too many hills here in Ashburton so it will be pretty hard on the legs.

“My first goal is to complete it, and then my next one will to be to finish it within three hours, I’ve got no ambition of placing, just finishing and enjoying myself.”

buses, tractors – and pedestrians. The recorders might have attracted little more than a curious glance, but the work they were doing could form the basis for traffic improvements at the intersection.

New Zealand Transport Agency state highway manager Colin Knaggs said those improvements would be based around easing traffic congestion at the intersection.

“We’ve had contractors carrying out traffic movement and vehicle count surveys this week and this work will help inform the design for proposed improvements to the intersection.”

The traffic improvement investigation work has a long history, dating back to 2006 when initial investigation work by the NZTA found the preferred option was to install traffic signals at the intersection to improve traffic flows and safety, Mr Knaggs said.

Data from this week’s survey will form part of a bigger picture of traffic movement at the intersection that will lead, later this year, to the preparation of design work and an indication of the consents and land acquisition that might be needed.

The NZTA is working closely with the Ashburton District Council on this project.

Farmers becoming desperate for rain M

any farmers are doing it tough at the moment as the endless summer continues to deny them the rain they desperately need.

Most crop farmers have enjoyed the current dry spell for harvesting but even for some of them the total lack of rain in recent weeks is starting to pinch.

Dairy farmers have already started feeding out with feed reserves they normally would not touch until late March, but it all speaks volumes for the consistent warm weather we

Those not living off the land or dependent on a regular topup of moisture in the soil will love the current periods with swimming pools and barbecues doing overtime.

Every night you can see people making the most of the balmy evenings by taking long walks, runs or bike rides or simply sitting on the back porch enjoying a cool drink.

While sipping on that beer

the year.

Extreme summers like the current one, however, can even push irrigation systems past their limits.

With the Rakaia River reaching concerning low levels,

restrictions have kicked in and we may see more unused irrigators standing in paddocks as the weeks go past.

Once we get through this summer, hopefully the river will regain its normal levels to enable more water to be stored in Lake Coleridge for the next drought.

This is when the new storage scheme should really prove its mettle and the current summer will not harm the demand among those wanting to buy part of the water available.

Canterbury and Otago have a long history of dry hot summers and farmers have been able to adapt and prepare.

For those in other parts of the country though, it may be their first experience with a lengthy dry spell and the effects have been devastating.

Is the Ashburton Guardian going back to the well and truly outdated practice of printing letters to the editor using noms de plume. (including text messages).

I would have thought that by now the Ashburton community would be grown up and sophisticated enough to accept diverse views on local subjects, and that it is quite unnecessary to hide behind a nom de plume.

If writers haven’t got the courage and conviction to air their views using their real name, better not say anything.

Respect for opposing views is all that is required, and personal attacks should not appear in this forum.

By the way, the lady that refers to religious beliefs as fairy tales, is definitely not respectful of other peoples views.Shame on the guardian for providing a platform for such comments.

Peter Opthoog * The editor replies: As I explained in Wednesday’s editorial, the Guardian has decided to accept text messages for this section of the paper without the full name of the sender.

This way we want to expand our engagement with the community to the large segment that would like to share their thoughts but are reluctant to do so, if they can be identified.

We still need full names in letters or emails to verify if the letter writer exists.

With text messages we can easily find the sender.

Letters with a full name naturally carry much more credibility and have a much higher threshold in what I will allow to be published.

Most importantly, across all forms of communication, I will apply the same criteria of respect and potential defamation to decide what gets published.

Poor service So, 4G has arrived. How fast we are becoming up there with World standards.

Congratulations are needed for providing us with such a fast Telecommunication speed in Auckland and soon to be parts of Christchurch.

Bugger the poor rural people of the country who actually rely on internet and mobile to continue business.

Unfortunately we cannot be contacted on a landline until after the townies have gone to bed at night and are certainly gone long before they wake in the morning.

We are the people who would be happy with any kind of “G” as we have nothing. We would be more than happy with less than 4G! How about spending some of our money in providing us with a service we can conduct business for our economy, keep ourselves safe whilst doing this, (how far do we have to run to the house if one comes across a fire to call for help? After all we are being bagged hard enough about this at present) all to continue supplying your country.

We are not interested in social networking, we would just be happy to answer those important phone calls whilst driving our tractors, to keep our businesses thriving for our country and to keep an eye on the all important dollar status.

Meanwhile we continue to live between a rock and a hard place, paying for our landlines so we can listen to messages at night, our

Longfin eels In Myles Hume’s article featuring an “environmentalist” lashing out at an Enviroschools eel project, there were some critical facts that Mr Chisholm or Mr Hume failed to state.

Bill Chisholm is a paid consultant working for the South Island Eel Industry Association, a group consisting of commercial eelers.

Mr Chisholm’s “professional” scientific working groups are eel plenary meetings run by the Ministry of Primary Industries (MPI) who refer to longfins as “stock and commodities”.

I understand that MPI will not accept any scientific evidence at these meetings unless they themselves call for it.

Even peer reviewed, international journal articles are not acceptable unless MPI commissions them.

Although I am not a scientist, I do know about eels due to data from numerous professional, independent, un-biased scientists (the so-called “flunkies”).

Because of these peer-reviewed reports I know that New Zealand’s unique longfins are struggling to survive in polluted, drained, and dammed waters.

Due to science I know that the longfin has a life cycle that makes it susceptible to seemingly sudden population crashes, especially when treated as an industry and fished for export to countries whose own eels were over-fished.

People from Tucson to Tokyo are eating New Zealand’s threatened longfins when they order eel in their local restaurants.

The longfin is also illegally sold to makers of gourmet pet food who even referred to their New Zealand Unagi dog food as “envi-

ronmentally friendly”.

Enviroschools educators help their students seek the truth, becoming informed, active citizens who treat our environment and all species as life rather than as resources, and who think for themselves; which explains why people like Bill Chisholm are afraid of them.

Those kids should be proud of themselves for taking action to help others gain appreciation for one of their country’s most incredible yet misunderstood treasures.

The jobs of 139 health and safety inspectors will be disestablished and staff made to reapply for the positions.

Public Services Association president Brenda Pilott said all the health and safety inspectors at the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment were told this week their roles would be disestablished and they would have to reapply for their positions through a rigorous process including psychometric testing.

Ms Pilott said it would result in a shortage of inspectors at the ministry as inspectors were refusing to go through the new selection process and might take redundancy or change jobs.

Labour Minister Simon Bridges declined to to comment, saying it was an operational matter.

MBIE deputy chief executive, health and safety group, Lesley Haines said that from July this year there would be 158 new health and safety inspectors roles, created following a restructure.

Ms Haines said that of the 158 roles, 149 would be offering higher salaries and would involve high competency than current roles.

“All existing inspectors are being supported to take the opportunity to apply for the new roles.”

She said the new health and safety inspectors would target high-risk workplaces and would

take a firmer approach where required.

“Strengthening workplace health and safety in New Zealand is in everyone’s interest. The changes will provide a strong foundation on which the new Crown agency for health and safety services will be built,” Ms Haines said.

Ms Pilott said there was a a lot of “change fatigue” among current health and safety inspectors forced to reapply for positions.

Labour’s spokeswoman on labour issues Darien Fenton said the decision made no sense.

“Last week the Government trumpeted the formation of a new stand-alone Crown agency for health and safety - this week, it sacks all of our existing health and safety inspectors and expects them to reapply for jobs that are essentially the same.”

Greens industrial relations spokeswoman Denise Roche said the move would leave 139 people in limbo and create a shortfall in qualified staff to oversee New Zealand’s health and safety regime.

Last week Mr Bridges announced a stand-alone Crown agency would be set up as part of the recommendations made by the Royal Commission on the Pike River Coal Mine tragedy.

It would be dedicated to health and safety, with the aim of reducing workplace fatality rates by 25 per cent.

NZSki CEO resigns NZSki announced the resignation of CEO James Coddington on Wednesday after close to six years in the role.

Mr Coddington said he was “immensely proud” of the developments within NZSki and that it had been a “tough decision” to make. He will leave NZSki on May 24 and plans to launch a new global business in November this year.

“I’ve been blessed over the past six years to live my childhood dream of being the CEO of a ski company, and there have been many highlights for me,” Mr Coddington said.

Mr Coddington said he was filled with optimism and confidence that he was leaving NZSki with the right people, the right strategy and the right attitude to continue

to lead the world in snowsport experiences.

During his tenure he oversaw a number of developments over his tenure and as a result NZSki has seen a greatly improved guest experience and numbers on their three mountains including Mt Hutt.

NZSki board chairman John Davies said Mr Coddington was leaving the company on the best of terms.

“While we’re extremely sorry to see him go, we always knew that he would work to a timeframe of leading us through a period of major growth and development, and he has certainly delivered on all fronts,” Mr Davies said.

“The board of NZSki wishes him all the best in his future endeavours.”

Inaccurate bottle markings could lead to overfeeding

By Abby Gillies The discovery of inaccurate volume markings on baby bottles could save several infants from the serious side effects of having over-concentrated formula, says Plunket.

Parents of babies are being urged to check volume markings on bottles after a Consumer Affairs survey

found several types of bottles being sold in New Zealand were inaccurate.

Feeding babies over-concentrated formula could cause vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation and untreated it can lead to serious dehydration.

Over time, the excess calories, could lead to children becoming overweight or obese and could harm organs such as the kidneys, said Ministry of Health child and youth

health chief advisor Dr Pat Tuohy.

The survey findings could help save many children from potential side effects, said Plunket clinical adviser Allison Jamieson.

“I think it’s great because it means that infants that are bottle fed are going to get what they’re supposed to get if the bottle that’s being used for them has inaccurate markings.”

“We don’t want babies who are having too many calories and we

don’t want babies who aren’t having enough,” she said.

Plunket was involved in developing guidelines for caregivers who bottle feed their children and staff have been alerted to pass on the information to affected parents.

“I think people themselves will not even have the the remotest idea that this is an issue.”

Consumer Affairs, part of the Ministry of Business, Innovation

and Employment, was alerted to the inaccurate measures as part of regular product inspection work.

Fifteen of 35 bottles surveyed were then found to have inaccurate markings by more than 5 per cent.

These bottles tended to be purchased from discount shops and were mostly unbranded bottles.

Bottles that meet the European regulatory standard (the EN14350 standard) have accurate volume

measures, and these tend be more expensive than other bottles, said Dr Tuohy.

He advised caregivers using infant formula for their child to only buy branded bottles which comply with the EN 14350 standard.

Those wanting to use existing bottles can have them checked at their local pharmacy which has accurate measuring equipment.

NZ-born man in record drug bust

By Kieran Campbell A New Zealand-born university student arrested as part of the largest methamphetamine bust in Australian history is behind bars.

Tony Ming Ly, 21, had a bail application refused in Sydney Central Local Court yesterday after police charged him and two other men with importing $A438 million ($597 million) worth of methamphetamine, or P. The 585kg stash uncovered by Federal Police in Sydney last week is the country’s largest ever P bust and police say more people may be arrested as the investigation continues.

Ly is an Australian national who lives at Canley Vale in Sydney.

He faced court with co-accused Cheung Tuen, 51, of Hong Kong, and Boon Cheng Leow, 32, of Singapore, all charged with attempting to possess a commercial quantity of drugs.

Ly, who is a student at the University of Western Sydney, is the alleged driver of the syndicate and hired a van the day before he and the two others were arrested while allegedly trying to take the drugs from a storage facility, the Australian Associated Press said.

Australian Federal Police, with the help of Customs and NSW police, had found the alleged drugs stash last week and kept surveillance on it.

AFP Commissioner Tony Negus said the investigation was sparked by a single tip-off from a member of the public in September.

The investigation led to a “suspicious facility” at West Ryde in Sydney, where the arrivals of “suspicious containers” were monitored over several months.

The drugs were found in a chemical shipment from Shenjing in southern China and the men were arrested while allegedly trying to collect the drugs.

“The investigation remains ongoing and we’ve not ruled out further arrests

either here in Australia or overseas,” Mr Negus said.

“We’ve already been in contact with authorities in China and a range of further inquiries are under way.”

An AFP spokeswoman said New Zealand police had not been contacted in regard to the investigation.

The massive drugs haul is the largest single seizure of P in Australia, with the previous record of 300kg in July last year.

“When the police and the community work together, these are the sort of results you get,” NSW Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione said.

“We’re very fortunate that somebody took the time to make that phone call.

“Make no mistake. This is a hideous, insidious drug.

“This is the sort of drug that sends people mad.”

The three men will reappear in court on May 8.

Metro Maori craziness is coming to Ashburton courtesy of the JGeeks, and it’s a show which has sold out quickly in Ashburton.

Lead performer Jermaine Leef said yesterday that he and his fellow members of the group were “baffled” by the success of their show nationwide.

Of the 36 shows on its nationwide tour, Ashburton had been the fastest selling of all of them so far.

JGeeks will perform at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre on

Monday night. Already in the South Island the group had performed at Nelson and Blenheim, and the South Island shows were proving to be just as successful as the North Island ones.

“We performed in Blenheim last night (Wednesday) and the crowd was on a par with the loudest crowd in the North Island, we are just like ‘wow’,” Mr Leef said.

The group has been together for four years and shot to national fame in the recent New Zealand’s Got Talent series.

And while group members had thought children and teenagers were

their main target audience, this seemed to be expanding upwards as older siblings and parents caught on to their energetic vibe.

“Most of the time the parents are leaving with the biggest smiles,” he said.

The JGeeks present a unique Maori “tongue in cheek” fusion of dance, music, singing, skits and pop culture.

Event centre manager Roger Farr said it was “brilliant” to sell out the centre’s 500 seats so quickly.

“It’s great that the teenage market have supported this as it gives us confidence to look at other performances of this nature,” Mr Farr said.

By APNZ Proposals to tax personal use of work devices such as phones, tablets and laptops, are unenforceable and will result in inflexible employment practices, the Employment and Manufacturers Association says.

The association’s chief executive Kim Campbell said Inland Revenue’s proposal was contrary to the Government’s ambition to lift workplace productivity.

“Our members are angry about the IRD tax proposals,” he said.

“We’re being told at our current briefings that businesses think they’re not only unworkable, unenforceable and would collect tiny amounts of tax, the thinking behind them is also antiquated.

“On the one hand we have Communications Minister Amy Adams recently praising the workplace flexibility we now have with such devices, so anyone can work partly at home or elsewhere, and on the other we have IRD saying they need to tax these things because there’s been an increase in working outside the traditional office environment.”

Mr Campbell said the proposal was “petty and counter-productive”.

“If these so called ‘perks’ taxes proceed, businesses will simply stop providing mobile phones and the like to employees, and employees will simply stop doing some of their work at home.

“Employers and employees will lose out, and so will IRD as productivity, output and tax revenues fall.”

An Inland Revenue issues paper, ‘Reviewing the tax treatment of employee allowances and other expenditure payments’, which set out the proposals was released last November. The submission period closed on February 1.

An Inland Revenue spokeswoman said the plans were drawn up to address concerns which had arisen over the tax treatment of allowances and other expenditure payments.

“The current legislation covering such payments does not provide businesses with sufficient clarity on whether such an allowance or payment is taxable under different circumstances,” she said.

Under the current rules, payments that meet an employee’s private expenses are treated as being part of the person’s taxable income.

However, there are occasions when the line between a private expense and what is solely a work expense is not straightforward, says the Inland Revenue, and it is often difficult to apportion private versus business use of a laptop, for instance.

Therefore, the proposed changes set out in the issues paper are intended to make the rules easier to apply, the spokeswoman said.

“A key consideration for tax policy changes is to ensure that compliance and administrative costs are minimised.”

The issues paper proposed that some payments to meet a private expense should be treated as non-taxable if they are low in value and incidental to the work element, low in value and hard to measure, or there is little risk of re-characterisation of salary and wages as non-taxable payments.

Submitters were invited to comment on the practicalities of the proposals and officials are currently reviewing submissions.

The spokeswoman added that the review was not intended to raise revenue, but rather to “contribute to the integrity of the tax system”.

AirNZ pilot fell asleep at controls

By Kieran Campbell An Air New Zealand pilot who fell into a deep sleep twice while at the controls of a passenger flight says he was fatigued because he could not rest properly in London hotel rooms that were “too hot or too cold”.

The pilot, who was flying a 332seat Boeing 777-300ER between London and Los Angeles in 2011, said issues at the hotel had been ongoing and contributed to his exhaustion before the mid-flight slumber.

He has the backing of the Air Line Pilots’ Association, which last night said the drowsy incident showed the importance of air crew being “provided with quality hotel rest”.

Transport Minister Gerry Brownlee has called on Air New Zealand to prove its safety standards.

“You need to satisfy the public you’re making sure your pilots aren’t asleep on the job. You’ve got big reputation issues here, this doesn’t look good,” Mr Brownlee said on 3 News.

Last night a spokeswoman for the airline said a second pilot on the flight deck was aware that his colleague had fallen asleep and “safety was not compromised at any point”.

She said the pilot had “nodded off twice for around a minute and woke spontaneously”.

However, the pilot himself said: “I suddenly, and without any warning, fell into a deep sleep on the flight deck.”

The pilot reported the November 2011 incident himself and detailed the events to the Civil Aviation Authority, which last night released its report to APNZ. The pilot told the authority he had three room changes in the first two days during a stopover in London because the air conditioning at the hotel made the rooms “too hot or too cold”.

The unrest contributed to his exhaustion from having only a

Asleep at the controls. The pilot admitted to suddenly, and without any warning, falling into a deep sleep on the flight deck. one-night stopover at LAX on the way to London.

“Despite the room changes in London, my rest prior to duty was much improved but still not of the highest quality,” he said.

“I was of the belief that I had adequate rest and was fit to continue with the rostered duty.”

Heavy fog at Heathrow Airport resulted in a 50 minute delay in take-off, which was compounded by “a very long taxi” and an additional delay of about 40 minutes.

“This added considerably to our workload before we were airborne,” the pilot said.

After falling asleep twice in the flight deck and also have two rests in the plane’s bunk, the pilot said he “felt much better and continued to LAX without further difficulties”.

A spokesman for the Pilots’ Association said the pilot “acted appropriately by reporting this occurrence”.

“It is extremely important that crew report these type of events to ensure the robustness of mitigation processes already in place,” he said.

The Air New Zealand spokeswoman said “safety is paramount and non-negotiable”.

“We recognise the risks of crew fatigue and as part of our safety culture we support and encourage staff to self-report incidents of fatigue, which is what occurred in this case.”

Air New Zealand chief executive Christopher Luxon, who announced a $100 million firsthalf profit for the airline yesterday, told 3 News he wasn’t aware of the incident and would investigate what had happened.

The airline’s chief pilot, Captain David Morgan said: “The reason that we do this reporting is so that we can better manage the business and learn from events such as this.”

The pilot’s name and the name of the London hotel used during the stopover were blacked-out in the CAA report released yesterday.

The pilot said the air conditioning was an “ongoing problem” and the issue had been escalated to the hotel’s manager.

Air New Zealand said the pilot did not face any discipline for self-reporting the incident and there was “no suggestion that there were any relevant health issues” associated with him falling asleep.

Partner: It was just one big disaster

By Kurt Bayer and Rebecca Quilliam The partner of Diane White, who was killed by her mentally ill neighbour, has applauded police for “bravely” admitting a tragic botched job.

But Gary Chadderton hopes lessons will be learned from his partner’s needless death at the hands of an escaped mental health patient.

“I live in a big dark hole and while it’s good to hear the police admit they stuffed up and were to blame, it still doesn’t bring Diane back, does it?”

Police were told on January 19, 2010 that Christine Judith Morris, a deaf mental health patient at Waikato Hospital’s Henry Rongomau Bennett Centre (HBC) had escaped, after threatening to kill Ms White.

Later that day, police found Ms White, 53, dead in her Hamilton home, bashed to death with a hammer.

Morris was convicted of murder last year and sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum non-parole period of 10 years.

An investigation by the Independent Police Conduct Authority (IPCA) has now conclud-

Diane White ed that police could have prevented her death if they had responded appropriately.

About 10am on the morning of the killing an HBC worker faxed and phoned police about Morris’ escape and threats to kill Ms White, but was unable to get through to the local station.

She eventually called 111 and spoke to the Police Northern Communications Centre.

At 11.13am two police officers were sent to Morris’s address.

They were unable to find her, but spoke briefly with Ms White as she mowed her lawn, and advised her to call police immediately if she

saw Morris. The officers then left.

Shortly afterwards police received a second call from the HBC advising that another neighbour, who was not named, had reported that Morris was with her and was making threats to harm Ms White.

A communications dispatcher mistook the information from this call as a repeat of the information from the first call, and subsequently no officers were dispatched.

At 12.19pm the neighbour called police to say Morris had just left her address.

After a few minutes she called again to say Morris had returned with blood on her face.

Officers arrived to discover that Ms White had been attacked and killed in her home with a bloodstained hammer found nearby.

They quickly found Morris and took her into custody.

The IPCA found the police had the information and the ability to prevent the death of Ms White if they had responded appropriately to the available information.

“The key failure was that officers were not sent to (the neighbours) address after the second call from the Henry Bennett Centre alerting police to the location of Ms Morris.

“If that had occurred, it is likely

that Ms White’s death would have been prevented.”

The failure of the attending officers to conduct more extensive enquiries at the time of the first house visit; and the communicator’s poor handling of the second call to police were “unreasonable and unjustified”, the report said.

Assistant Commissioner Upper North, Allan Boreham today apologised to Ms White’s family while accepting all of the IPCA findings.

But while Mr Chadderton, 75, was pleased police admitted their failures, he found them hollow words.

“It doesn’t mean anything to me because if they had been doing their job bloody properly, it wouldn’t have happened,” he said.

“But it wasn’t just the police.

The hospital are just as much to blame. All down through the line it was just one big disaster.”

The pensioner hoped police would urgently act on the report’s recommendations to avoid another preventable tragedy.

Three years after the murder of his partner of 17 years, and Mr Chadderton is still struggling.

“Today brings it all back. Once a week, I go down to the Waikato river, where we put her ashes, and talk to her.... But I’m just a blank shell really.”

Hotere given a great southern send-off

By Nigel Benson Glasses of whisky were raised as artist Ralph Hotere passed by his favourite Careys Bay Hotel for the last time yesterday morning.

“He always liked a whisky, did Ralph,” a local observed.

Across the road, a yellow Aramoana flag hung from halfmast in front of a glassy Otago Harbour.

Hundreds of residents lined the streets of Port Chalmers to pay their respects as the funeral cortege passed through the artist’s beloved adopted township at 9.24am.

Uniformed school children stood in homage alongside Port Otago workers in orange overalls.

The hearse, a black 1927 Chrysler, was made four years before the artist was born.

Hone Papita Raukura Hotere was widely considered New Zealand’s greatest living artist until his death in Dunedin last Sunday aged 81.

He was invested with the Order of New Zealand in the 2012 New Year’s Honours for his contribution to contemporary art.

There was standing room only at St Joseph’s Cathedral for the Requiem Mass, where people of all ages and social strata painted a canvas of the artist’s life and influence.

A Maori cloak was draped across the casket, which was stamped with Hotere’s name in his trademark stencil lettering. His ONZ medal and a photo of a smiling Hotere at his investiture sat nearby. Speakers included Minister for Arts, Culture and Heritage Chris Finlayson, Maori Party co-leader Dr Pita Sharples and poet Prof Bill

Manhire, while the artist’s widow, Mary McFarlane, and daughter, Andrea Hotere-Naish, were among family present.

“A farewell to the old man of Port Chalmers,” Te Runanga o Ngai Tahu Otakou representative Tahu Potiki said. “A man whose great gifts have been shared with and claimed by the nation.”

Mr Finlayson said Hotere was “a great New Zealander and one of Dunedin’s favourite sons”.

“He was a man with a mission.

Ralph certainly confirmed the pen and brush can be mightier than the sword. He felt compelled to speak through his work and, in doing so, he made us think about what is truly important to us as people,” he said.

“He was born in a raupo whare in remote Mitimiti and rose to appointment to the highest honour

this country can bestow - a member of the Order of New Zealand.”

Other speakers recalled his humble, gentle and respectful nature, spirituality and love of people.

Hotere had experienced “sadness and disappointment” in his last year of life, but also “great joy, love and laughter,” family friend Judith Ablett-Kerr said.

She shared his pride at his ONZ investiture at the Dunedin Public Art Gallery last March.

“He was incredibly moved by that honour. Tears streamed down his face when he read the citation. His eyes sparkled that day. There was not a dry eye in the house when the Governor-General put the medal around his neck.”

Hotere returned yesterday to the Matihetihe Marae, at his Mitimiti birthplace in Northland, for the tangi.

Italy gridlock deepens Italy’s political gridlock has deepened, with bickering between the main leftist party and a new anti-establishment party putting off the prospect of a new government anytime soon following shock elections that have spooked Europe.

Comedian turned populist firebrand Beppe Grillo said his Five Star Movement (M5S) would not endorse the Democratic Party (PD), which won the most votes in the elections on Sunday and Monday but not enough to form a majority in parliament.

“The M5S is not going to give a vote of confidence to the Democratic Party or to anyone else,” Grillo, who has channelled the frustrations of austerity-weary Italians, wrote on his blog.

The comment appeared to be a rejection of overtures from the PD, which on Tuesday held out the possibility of working with M5S on key reforms like slashing government costs and helping Italy’s poorest get through a grinding recession.

Grillo said the PD had made a series of “indecent proposals”, prompting PD leader Pier Luigi Bersani to hit back with a statement saying: “If Grillo has something to say to me, including the insults, I want to hear it in parliament.”

Grillo has railed against traditional politicians and has called for a referendum on the euro. His party won 163 seats in the lower

The remedy which can be bought online, including on Amazon.com, is marketed as a homeopathy remedy used for temporary muscle relief and symptoms associated with male sexual weakness. “We have had confirmation from Oscar’s legal team that the herbal remedy that he used was called Testis Compositum – which is used to aid muscle recovery,” his spokeswoman Janine Hills said.

After market panic on Tuesday, investors were more measured on Wednesday, especially after a better-than-expected bond sale even though Italy’s borrowing costs spiked.

European capitals remained nervous however amid fears Italy could turn back the clock on reforms and austerity following an election that had been seen as crucial for the future of the eurozone.

A man known as Nutzu the Pawnbroker has been indicted for leading a fearsome criminal gang, but the public seems to be more interested in his pets: four lions and two bears.

Ion Balint – his real name – had long been known to have an affinity for wild beasts in his home.

“You said I fed men to the lions?” Balint was recorded saying on a videotape as he rode away from prison on a black stallion in 2010. “Why don’t you come over and I’ll give you some lions!”

3 dead in Swiss shooting A 42-year-old employee killed two workmates and wounded seven when he opened fire in a Swiss factory, rocking the small community where the plant is located.

Police said that the gunman, who also died, had worked for more than 10 years at the Kronospan wood panel plant in Menznau, near Lucerne in central Switzerland.

He had no record of making trouble, police and factory officials said, but workmates quoted by Swiss media said he may have been suffering from mental problems since last year.

The man, who was not identified by name, reportedly launched his assault with a handgun in the plant’s canteen.

Police said that he appeared to have aimed deliberately at his victims, rather than spraying shots at random.

Of the seven wounded, six were in a serious condition.

Three helicopters from the Swiss emergency service REGA evacuated four of the wounded to neighbouring hospitals, a spokesman said.

Police would not say how the shooter died and added they were waiting for the results of an autopsy.

“We still don’t know what his motives were,” Lucerne’s police chief Daniel Bussmann told reporters.

Some Swiss media claimed the gunman had fallen out with his employers, with local newspaper Willisauerer Bote noting that Kronospan had last week announced it was cutting production.

Owned by Austrian group Kronospan, the factory is the top employer in Menznau, giving jobs to about 400 people in the community of almost 2600.

Kronospan underlined that the production cutback was the result of a wood shortage due to bad weather, and that there had been no threat to jobs.

Capozzo said the gunman was known

Boozy Brits underestimate their drinking Truth and alcohol may not mix, particularly when people are asked how much they drink.

That’s the implication of a study released yesterday that reveals a big gap between the booze Britons own up to drinking and the amount of alcohol sold nationwide. The study indicates that people routinely underestimate their alcohol consumption by around 40 per cent.

That may not be particularly surprising, but the study puts a figure to the phenomenon of the drunk who claims not to have anything more than a couple of beers. Lead author Sadie Boniface said the unreported alcohol equates to nearly one bottle of wine per British adult per week – an amount she said wasn’t just disappearing.

“It has to have gone somewhere,” she said in a telephone interview.

Boniface and Nicola Shelton, both with the University College London’s Department of Epidemiology and Public Health, derived their figures by comparing self-reported data in a public health survey accounting for 14,041 people aged 16 and up to alcohol sales figures kept by British tax authorities.

The gap was huge. More than 20 per cent of Britons’ annual wine consumption – or 2.6 million hectoliters (69 million gallons) – was unaccounted for.

Nearly half of Britons’ beer consumption – 45 million hectoliters (1.2 billion gallons) – was unclaimed. And Britons seemed particularly reluctant to take credit for gulping down whiskey, vodka, tequila and gin. Nearly 60 per cent of Britain’s spirit consumption remained unreported.

Boniface said the more accurate reporting of wine versus beer and spir-

its might have something to do with the cultural baggage attached to them.

“If you think about drinking wine, you generally think of sitting around a fancy meal,” she said. “It’s thought of as much more of a civilized drinking occasion than drinking spirits might be, although that’s just speculation.”

The study, published in the European Journal of Public Health, considered a host of other possible reasons for the underreporting. Maybe children under the age of 16, tourists or homeless people – all groups which wouldn’t have been covered by the survey – were buying the unclaimed booze. Maybe the whiskey was being kept on shelves rather than being sipped after dinner.

Maybe the wine was being used in cooking, or thrown out when it expired, or being spilled across white carpets.

Pope readies for emotional departure Pope Benedict XVI was spending his last night in his Vatican apartments after bidding an emotional farewell to some 150,000 pilgrims in St Peter’s Square on the eve of his historic resignation.

The German pontiff was greeted with whoops, chants and cheers yesterday, and huge banners carried messages such as “Benedict, we’ll miss you!” and “The Pope is the heart of this city!”

In his speech, the 85-yearold spoke of “stormy waters” in an apparent reference to the multiple scandals that have plagued his reign, and said he had decided to resign for the good of the Roman Catholic Church.

“The Lord gave us days of sun and of light breeze, days in which the fishing was good.

There were also moments when there were stormy waters and headwinds ... as if God was sleeping,” said the head of the world’s 1.2 billion Catholics.

“But I always knew that God was in that boat and I always knew that the boat of the church is not mine, is not ours, but is his and he will not let it sink,” he said, adding: “I never felt alone.”

The former Joseph Ratzinger stunned the world with his abrupt decision to end an eight-year reign dogged by scandal and Vatican infighting, declaring he was too weak to keep up with the modern world.

The scourge of paedophile priests and

Taliban kill 16 at Afghan checkpoint The Taliban killed at least 16 people at an Afghan police checkpoint and bombed an army bus in Kabul, highlighting a growing trend of strikes on Afghan rather than Nato targets.

Details of the pre-dawn attack on an Afghan Local Police (ALP) checkpoint in the eastern province of Ghazni were murky. Officials said they were investigating how the militants breached security at the post.

ALP national commander General Alishah Ahmadzai said 10 policemen and “five or six local villagers” who took part in an uprising against the Taliban in the Andar district of Ghazni had been killed.

“Initial information shows they were first poisoned and then shot, but we have to wait for the

cover-ups by their superiors cast a dark shadow over Benedict’s papacy, combined with a longstanding money-laundering scandal at the Vatican bank, which exposed infighting among Benedict’s closest allies.

What observers said may have been the last straw was the scandal that came to be known as “Vatileaks”, in which his trusted butler leaked secret papal memos revealing intrigues between rival groups of cardinals.

Benedict became the first pope to resign of his own free will since the Middle Ages.

The move has worried conservatives but kindled the hopes of Catholics across the world who want a successor who will breathe new life into the church.

The Vatican has said Benedict will receive the title of “Roman pontiff emeritus” and can still be addressed as “Your Holiness” and wear the white papal cassock after he officially steps down today.

Benedict will spend the first few weeks of his retirement at the summer papal residence of Castel Gandolfo outside Rome, where he will be taken by helicopter.

There he will be well away from the preparations and consultations ahead of next month’s secret conclave to elect his successor, but in due time he will return to the Vatican to take up residence in a disused – AFP convent.

Badger cull imminent

The Vatileaks scandal may have been the last straw

Britain is set to cull up to 5000 badgers in a bid to combat tuberculosis in cattle which has outraged animal welfare groups, after two pilot schemes were given the green light.

The culls will see 70 per cent of the black and white animals killed in two areas of southwest England – Gloucestershire and west Somerset–- after the Natural England government agency approved the pilots.

Ministers say culls are needed as bovine TB, which spreads from badgers to livestock, costs farmers and the taxpayer millions of pounds every year.

Secretary Owen Paterson told a conference of Britain’s National Farmers’ Union yesterday.

“These pilot culls are just one part of our approach to control and eradicate this dreadful disease.”

But opponents claim culling badgers is an inhumane and ineffective way of battling TB. Britain’s biggest animal welfare charity, the RSPCA, described the plans as “senseless”.

“All the evidence shows that the answer to the problems of bovine TB in cattle does not lie in a cull that will be ineffective, wasteful and potentially damaging to the welfare of both farm and wild animals,” said the charity’s chief executive Gavin Grant.

Two other provincial officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said 16 died in the attack and all were policemen.

The same officials said the Taliban poisoned the men before shooting them and seizing their weapons.

Provincial governor Musa Khan Akbarzada gave a death toll of 17 including seven civilians and said a team had been sent to investigate the incident.

A spokesman for the Taliban, who are leading an 11-year fight against the Western-backed government of President Hamid Karzai, claimed responsibility for the Ghazni killings and the suicide attack in Kabul.

Many of the government’s proposed changes to the Resource Management Act are “deeply troubling” because of the “radical shift of power to ministers” and the introduction of new economic development objectives to compete with environmental outcomes, says the Environmental Defence Society.

The country’s leading lobby group on environmental law and regulation, the EDS says many of the proposals in a discussion paper released

this morning by Environment Minister Amy Adams “go too far”.

“The changes could encourage unsustainable and environmentally damaging urban sprawl,” said EDS executive director Gary Taylor in a statement. “Developers will be thinking all their Christmases have come at once.”

Among issues highlighted in a hastily prepared seven page analysis of the proposals is the intention to create a new government agency which could step in over the heads of local governments to speed up developments

regarded as being nationally significant. Adams focused particularly on the need to release new land for housing in Auckland, but EDS fears this is “another example of the government removing responsibility from elected representative local authorities and placing it in the hands of the executive or their nominees”.

Proposed changes to Sections 6 and 7 of the RMA, governing the approach to nationally important matters, could also weaken the act’s current bias in favour of maintaining environmental bottom-lines and instead allow a bias

in favour of economic development.

The government discussion paper says the changes are necessary because in practice, the RMA may have resulted in “an under-weighting of the positive effects (or net benefits) of certain economic and social activities”.

However, EDS says that merging the two sections and adding new requirements for local government to take into account communities’ future needs “will place greater emphasis on economic effects to the detriment of the environment”.

EDS did, however, welcome some

aspects of the proposed reforms, particularly the government’s rejection of recommendations from a Technical Advisory Group that would have weakened protections for coasts, landscapes, and native flora and fauna.

“However, the inclusion of competing economic development matters may dilute that protection.”

While the plan to reduce the number of planning documents in operation could work, EDS is concerned this could see a loss of regional planning at the expense of plans focused at the district level.

Business confidence climbs to 19-month high New Zealand business confidence rose to a 19-month high this month, with gains in all five sectors tracked as companies become more bullish about investment, profits and hiring.

A net 39.4 per cent of firms polled in the ANZ Business Outlook expect general business conditions to improve in the year ahead, up from 23 per cent a month earlier.

A net 38 per cent of firms are more optimistic about their own prospects, up from 31 per cent.

The monthly survey follows other signs that the economy is picking up.

The benchmark NZX 50 Index of leading companies is at a five-year high,

retail sales are growing and consumer confidence is at a 32-month high.

Export intentions were the outlier, according to ANZ chief economist Cameron Bagrie. A net 13 per cent of firms expect to increase exports in the next 12 months, below the long-term average of 32 per cent.

“The main culprit is obvious – a New Zealand dollar that continues to be out of line with local fundamentals,” Bagrie said.

Profitability expectations rose to 14 per cent from 8.8 per cent, while a net 16 per cent aimed to increase investment, up from 14 per cent. Hiring intentions rose to 11 per cent from 8

per cent. Inflation expectations nudged up to 2.31 per cent from 2.23 per cent, while ease of credit retreated to 8.5 per cent from 15 per cent. A net 18 per cent planned to raise prices over the next 12 months, from 15 per cent in the previous month’s survey.

By sector, construction firms were the most bullish on the general economy, at 50 per cent, though on their own activity in the next 12 months the reading slipped to 35.7 per cent.

Agriculture was the least confident, with a net 6.5 per cent seeing a general improvement in business conditions and a net 23 per cent seeing a pickup – APNZ in their own business.

Dreamliners still on Air NZ agenda Fisher Paykel offers 100 skilled jobs in NZ

By Grant Bradley

Air New Zealand remains confident it will take delivery of three Boeing 787 Dreamliners by the end of next year, despite battery problems that have grounded the plane around the world.

The airline is scheduled to get the next model of the aircraft which is six metres longer than the current one. Being a variant of the current model, testing and certification should be quicker. Although it hasn’t yet flown, Air New Zealand’s new chief executive Christopher Luxon said production of the plane had started and he was confident the battery issue affecting other planes will soon be resolved by Boeing.

“They’re feeling very confident about the right remedies for managing this issue. In our conversations with them the plan is to get some FAA approval in

the next couple of weeks,” he said following the release of the airline’s first half results which included a profit of $100 million, more than double that of the corresponding period last year.

“If I was taking delivery of those aircraft within the next three to six months we might have some concerns but that is not our reality,” he said “We have been in constant close contact with Boeing in all levels of our business every week and we are reassured that there is no risk around production and the delivery timetable around the middle of next year.”

Luxon said two Air New Zealand staff were in South Carolina this week where the 787-9 series are being produced.

“It is a real game-changing aircraft and it is highly innovative – while these issues are frustrating I’m very confident that they’ll solve it.”

The airline would likely use the planes

on its Asian routes where the strong inbound leisure market where there was demand for aircraft with a higher proportion of economy class seating than on North American routes.

The 787 has been plagued by delays and deliveries are already three years late.

Luxon said Boeing had paid the airline compensation but those payments remained “very much a private and confidential matter”.

Air New Zealand announced yesterday it would lease two brand new Boeing 777-300 aircraft next year, saying they were not to mitigate any 787 delay risk but to give the airline the option of retiring less efficient 747s and 767s or if demand existed, put on more services.

The airline is also upgrading its 777200 cabins – including an extra line of seats – to bring in uniformity across its – APNZ widebody fleet.

Fisher & Paykel Appliances is to recruit 100 new, highly skilled staff over the next two years to boost the company’s strengths product research and development as it deepens its relationship with its Chinese owner, global whiteware supplier Haier.

The plans call for a range of industrial engineers, designers and product developers to be split between the company’s two development campuses in Auckland and Dunedin.

Cooking and dishwashing appliances are the focus in Dunedin, while Auckland handles refrigeration, laundry and sub-system product development.

The hiring drive comes after Haier effectively rescued F&P

Appliances from collapse during the global financial crisis and is offered as evidence of the Chinese firm’s commitment to exploiting the New Zealand company’s innovation culture.

F&P Appliances last went on a major hiring binge three years ago, when it created 50 new high skills roles.

“Fisher & Paykel is focused on New Zealand-led expansion,” said chief executive Stuart Broadhurst in a statement. “While we remain a standalone company with a strong, localised management team, our new owners are providing us the opportunity to deliver our business development plan far faster than we were previously planning.”

They led at the half but the Rebels crumbled under the pump hosting the Brumbies to start the season 1-1. O'Connor and Beale are passed fit after both leaving injured but they'll be without Delve, a major blow at the breakdown. At 0-4 verse the Tahs and a closest margin of nine you'd be brave. The latter looked rusty early visiting the Reds but the positives included a backline which will prove sharper by the outing, the promise of Folau in space, the power of Kepu and Timani, and then Hooper, who’s capable of beating the Rebels' loosies by himself.

After getting run over late hosting the Blues this one is vital for the Hurricanes, a tough opening month likely to get tougher if they start 0-2.

Their defence got exposed both edges with C Smith unable to cover youthful lapses. Unless they find some consistent roll up front and passes start to stick this will prove difficult. The Reds opened playing it ugly hosting the Waratahs apparently counting down the days for the return of Genia and Horwill. They'll match okay up front and although 1-3 hosting back to '03, they haven't met here since '09.

The Cheetahs left it too late hosting the Sharks, patchy and directionless for the majority before finding some gas and points in garbage time.

They're unlikely to get shunted around quite as easily second up but they'll struggle to keep it as close as normal, a total of three points deciding the last three in Hamilton. Playing high tempo off loads at the contact, the Chiefs exhausted the Highlanders in Dunedin. They were second for possession but gate crashed the loose to feed runners Nanai-Williams and Tikoirotuma who will test the Cheetahs drifting midfield defence.

Pre season thoughts about Force are coming through, 0-2 and propping the foot of the table after going down visiting the debutant Kings. They'll struggle to improve a 3-3 record with the Bulls unless Christie can match Steyn blow for blow. The latter helped himself to 20 points off the boot, out dueling visiting 10 Jantjies in a shootout, as the Bulls sent the Stormers packing. They lost all of Engelbrecht, Kruger, and D Potgieter to injuries (some doubtful here) which presents issues and although they look ripe for bigger packs this isn't one. They should reverse the 2011 home loss.

Beaten by the boot of M Steyn in Pretoria the Stormers travel again and will need Jantjies to come better for the run. They'd probably have an edge with quality ball but they're nothing special in the tight yet and will find the home team's forward power difficult. The Sharks found an early lead visiting the Cheetahs in Bloemfontein and coasted from there with Lambie controlling it from the armchair. They're 4-1 hosting the Stormers since '06 and although still without B du Plessis, Daniel, and Alberts, Kings Park should secure it for them.

Match Day Form The Welsh weathered early Italian industry in Rome before getting on top through the second with with Biggar playing it cool in the wet and creating the game clincher. The pack is finally starting to get aggressive and unified and they bring a 9-1 record the last 10 meetings. Never lie down defence, some luck, and Laidlaw's boot allowed Scotland out of Dublin with the points, the first time they've put two together in over a decade.

The locks, Hamilton and Gray, were easily the best all pitch and that may continue. They're 2-3 at Murrayfield since '03 and this is close.

After finally showing some desire hosting England, les Tricolores came away empty handed, unable to keep up the physicality through 80 minutes and losing ascendancy as the game wore on. Already 0-3 in the comp it wouldn't be beyond them to roll over if they get behind early. An ability to butcher any opportunity really damaged Ireland visiting Scotland, notwithstanding Jackson missed three. Still, Gilroy and Marshall were impressive wide, and back here in what may turn out BOD's last 6N in Dublin, you'd think they'll lift and perhaps improve their 1-4 record hosting France since '05.

Missing the skip Parisse (suspension - comp), hosting Wales, Italy turned to stand in Castrogiovanni but after he crumbled at the set piece and got binned they were effectively done. This might be marginally closer than some years at Twickenham but they wont be ending the 0-18 history with England. The latter get a clean run at the GS after knocking over France in Paris, matching up physically in a brutal go and closing it in the clutch via kickers Farrell and Flood. They'll go wide and angling back from the edges led by Tuilagi and are averaging 39-9 the last five hosting Italy.

Match Day Form The Chooks are stacked with youth, power and pace. The combo of Maloney and Pearce at six and seven should see quick play the balls even if you're one of those still to be convinced about the latter. Its at the trenches where they'll be tested and pressed to make it four straight in this. Lima and Te'o join a Bondi roster already laden with mobile big men.

S Burgess and Asotasi are reportedly in full health and Souths will find metres up the centre while Reynolds, with a season under his belt directing, is capable of driving teams back off the boot. They're overdue a round one result.

Manly might lack some go forward up front here with T Williams and Lussick out the back door and G Stewart injured. They'll match up further out though with Cherry Evans and K Foran more athletic as a halves duo and Lyon, Taufua, B Stewart among the best finishers in the league. The signing of Prince could go either way for the Broncos but he shouldn't lack for platform with all of Thaiday, McGuire, Gillett, and Hannant likely to poke holes in the Manly line. They're balanced, fit, usually come out blazing early, and are due here given they're 1-4 hosting Manly at Suncorp back to '08.

After dropping the ball big time in 2012 the Warriors bring failed Panthers coach Elliott and a couple of safe trades in no frills Storm products Nielsen and Lowrie. They'll miss Friend (injured) for experience out of the ruck and while the pre season has been okay it wouldn't surprise to see them rusty and rolled by the travel. You'd want to see new Eels coach Stuart in action. Nothing would surprise, but you'd expect him to at least deliver them fresh and fit. First up they can improve their 2-6 record all grounds with the Warriors back to '08.

If any pack can match the Dogs its the Cowboys; A & T Sims, Tamou, Scott, and Taumalolo all truck sized ball players, but with new rakes (Mitchell and Kostjaysn), there'll be early coms issues. Thurston is a query to start (hand) and they don't do it easy in NSW. Coach Hasler's desire for old flame T-Rex might be found out, but a pack that includes Kasiano and Pritchard (both doubtful here), Eastwood, Tolman and Ennis is capable of bowling anyone. The loss of superstar Barba and his 'points out of nothing' is huge and the rawness of his internal suspension might affect them here.

Easily the most active in the off-season coach Cleary cleared the locker room of several big names at Penrith replacing them with established NRL mid rangers; Brown, Whare, Segeyaro, Manu, Masoe and co.

They've dropped the last two hostings of Canberra and look outmatched here too. McCrone, Williams and Dugan all responded to Campese's absence in 2012 and that will benefit Canberra this season. The pack is big and mobile, Papalii a wrecking ball all by himself, and they should ride a glut of territory for Robinson, Lee, and Ferguson to bank points.

The Saints go to Melbourne without former skip Hornby, nor Young and Scott (all gone), making this a huge test first up. They still bring a rep-type pack and will slug it out up the top but as the lowest point scorers of 2012 you wouldn't expect to see supposed line breakers Copper, Morris, and Beale lighting up this field. Now coach Bellamy is paid he'll have set about planning back to back titles and with Slater, Cronk, and Smith back, why not. They may lack ball runners up front, not to mention that Proctor (knee) is unlikely here, but they're 11-0 back to '99 in this one.

They're going home grown up in Robina. Whether they can find enough in house, notwithstanding the addition of Taylor, will likely depend on who they get to support Sezer, now the chief playmaker in his sophomore season. Still, the pack is littered; Bird, Douglas, Harrison, Myles, and Minichiello... more then a handful for anyone. Reps Lewis and Heighington come to the Shire adding to an already fearsome back row while Gordon, Wright and Ryan should offer polish and finish to Carney's sniping. They're quite balanced but need a good start and wouldn't want to drop this first up.

Wests were the worst defensive side in 2012 and have now lost cleanup back rowers Ellis and Heighington while the new arrivals are ball playing edge type runners like Anasta and Pettybourne. If their refusal to build into games continues a 4-1 record back to '08 in this is under threat.

Gidley's return should allow Boyd and Mullen a taste this season for the Knights. They were as porous as the opponent sometimes last season but the addition of Scott, Fa'alogo and Smith suggests coach Bennett wont be sticking any of that. An improved defensive list suggests they'll hold first up.

The league's most famous franchise comes cold but, a rested Carter, a pack always one of the strongest, Todd ready to deliver to national standard, and the heat of Dagg, Fruean and co further out will really put the pre match nerves into the newish host. The Blues got the maximum visiting the Hurricanes as three quarters Halai, Piutau and Ranger put out and they'll present problems for the Crusaders particularly if the halves, Weepu and Noakes, can repeat last week. And then there's Luatua.

They've generally been competitive in this, 3-2 in fact back to '05 at Eden Park.

INSURANCE BROKERS

James Anderson clearly remembers his first international wicket, if not for its quality.

Adam Gilchrist, on 124, at Melbourne in December 2002. It didn’t bend around a corner and whistle out the middle stump.

“It was a wide half volley which he chopped on.”

They all count though, and 11 years on Anderson is on the cusp of jumping one place to become the fourth most prolific England test wicket taker. Ten wickets in the three tests will put him ahead of the splendid left arm spinner Derek Underwood; a cracking campaign and 20 wickets would ease him past the legendary Fred Trueman into third.

The champion swing bowler from Burnley, Lancashire, is already his country’s highest wicket taker across all three international forms of the game, with 535.

Tall Steven Finn caught the eye with a ripsnorting performance in the final ODI at Eden Park, but Anderson is the man who leads the attack and to whom England will turn if they need a breakthrough.

So it’s interesting to hear him talk about four days playing for Auckland in early 2008 as a pivotal time in his career.

While England were being soundly beaten in the first test at Hamilton, Anderson played for Auckland against Wellington at Eden Park’s outer oval early in England’s last tour. His figures, two for 95 off 38 overs, don’t tell a story, though.

For the second test at the Basin Reserve, in came Anderson and Stuart Broad, for his second test, for old stagers Matthew Hoggard and Steve Harmison. Hoggard never played again; Harmison had six more tests, but was running out of petrol.

By that stage, Anderson, after a roaring start to his test career, had taken 62 wickets in 20 tests at 39 each. He was flatlining in a sense.

Auckland revitalised him. He ripped through New Zealand’s first innings, taking five for 73 and hasn’t looked back. His next nine tests produced 42 wickets at 29.5.

“I didn’t get many wickets but bowled pretty well,” he remembered of his Auckland experience.

“That cricket at Auckland really helped me put in some good form and set me up well for the test.

“I’ve always been thankful for that opportunity.

That’s the game we kicked on from.”

Anderson’s ability to swing the ball both ways, late, makes him a menace for batsmen, especially with the new ball. He may lack the sheer hostility of the game’s best fast bowler, Dale Steyn, but Anderson can be equally as effective.

Anderson’s record against New Zealand is impressive.

In five tests, he’s taken 27 wickets at 24.07. He warmed up in the ODI leg of the ANZ international series with seven cheap wickets, his first, a booming inswinger to bowl BJ Watling early in the first match in Hamilton, a corker.

Anderson, 30, is proud of his England achievements.

No 12,1

Another New Zealand wicket for James Anderson’s big total.

“There were times when I doubted if I’d still be here.

“Playing for England is still such a big thing for me. It’s something I dreamed of as a kid and I still take a lot of pride in playing. The times when you’re out through lack of form or injury make you cherish the moments you do get to play.

“That also makes you want to keep improving.

You never think it’s going to come true and when it does you want to hang onto it as long as possible.”

Anderson is a small picture man. Getting the little elements right is a key for him.

“The way I’ve got to this point I’ve not been thinking about this milestone. They all tot up and the way I got here is concentrating on small bits, each spell, the next match.”

The big picture looks after itself.

When England regained the Ashes in Australia in 2010-11, Anderson was a kingpin, taking 24 wickets at 26 each.

“That’s probably the best I’ve bowled in a fivematch series. I was consistent, took wickets all the way through. That’s the one that stands out for me.”

His pride in playing for England shines through when the Indian Premier League is raised. It is an issue for England’s players, who want to cash

in, but are unable to maximise the chance due to England’s early-season international obligations.

While some have gone public expressing their frustration - and at least one county, Nottinghamshire, have banned their players from taking part in the IPL - Anderson doesn’t get why the clash should be a problem.

“I can’t comprehend putting it ahead of international cricket. I don’t understand that, especially test cricket which I hold in high regard,” he said, slowly shaking his head.

“But some people have different priorities, some prefer T20 cricket. I couldn’t see me doing it.”

He’s not going anywhere soon either. There are more wickets to be taken for England, more overs to bowl for his country in pursuit of the world No 1 test ranking.

And because he’s not reliant on outright pace, more skill and rhythm, plus being rotated in and out of less significant campaigns, thus lengthening his time at the top, Sir Ian Botham’s record is in his sights, and beyond.

“If I stay fit and play for long enough, I think I can,” he said of eclipsing the great allrounder.

For now, it’s New Zealand, for whom combating Anderson is among their more important chal- APNZ lenges.

Four-way fight for rosebowl

By Jonathan Leask There is a four-way fight for fourth place and a semi-final in the final round of the Muirhead Rosebowl senior cricket competition tomorrow.

The Tech Sharks, Allenton and Lauriston are all locked in for semifinals but the other four teams are all in the running to claim the final semi-final spot.

Allenton and Lauriston head into the final round tied for second with three wins apiece and will meet in next weekend’s semi-finals regardless of this weekend’s results.

The Tech Sharks, unbeaten in 45-over cricket this summer, get to sit back in the final round and wait and see who they will face in the semi-finals as they chase a clean sweep of all the senior cricket trophies.

After a tough run in the Twenty20, Coldstream will get key players back on deck in the crucial clash with Methven, who will be looking to transfer their more productive form in the shorter format to 45 overs.

Coldstream started the season with a run of four straight wins

but followed that with four straight defeats before beating Fairfield in their outing.

Methven also got a win back on January 26 beating the Stags, only their second 45-over win of the season and second over the Stags, but it kept them in the running for a playoff berth.

Allenton has been out of action since for almost a month having not played since back-to-back losses in the first round of the Twenty20 competition and with the Stags eyeing up a return to the semi-finals, with a late run resembling last year’s effort, and they will need to be on song.

Lauriston will also be fearful of a desperate Fairfield. Lauriston went on a six-game winning streak before a seven-wicket loss to the Sharks before their bye, but will return to the longer form of the game keen to earn another crack at the Sharks.

Fairfield solitary win was a onewicket thriller against Methven, there second win of the summer.

They have been the hard-luck story of the summer, coming up just short in several matches despite struggling for numbers and have the potential to cause the upset.

Reid joins Supercars New Zealand will have a fourth driver joining the V8 Supercars championship when the flag drops on the opening round this week, with Auckland’s Jonny Reid joining Dick Johnson Racing for the Clipsal 500 in Adelaide.

Reid has a successful history in motorsport in New Zealand as a multiple national karting champion, two-time winner of the Formula Ford Championships, the New Zealand Grand Prix as well as success in Asia and Europe including the A1GP,

Carrera Cup in Australia and this year in V8 SuperTourers.

“My aim since 2011 was to focus on a fulltime V8 Supercar drive,” Reid said. “This is a world-class series and, after a great run in the enduros last year, I was very hungry to try to step up.”

Reid joins fellow New Zealanders Fabian Coulthard (Lockwood Racing), Shane Van Gisbergen (Tekno Racing) and fellow rookie Scott McLaughlin (Gary Rogers Motorsport) in the championship.

• Possum inducted in hall of fame The late Peter ‘Possum’ Bourne was inducted into the Australian Rally Hall of Fame this week, nearly 10 years since his death. An inaugural inductee to the MotorSport New Zealand Wall of Fame in 1994, recognition for his achievement of winning seven consecutive Australian Rally Championships has posthumously earned him a second inaugural induction. Rally of New Zealand board chairman Peter PJ Johnston. “Possum became a household name - that’s left a lasting legacy recognised on both sides of the Tasman,” said Johnston. “Especially significant is Possum is the only double inductee. That will be further celebrated this year with the 10th anniversary of the Possum Bourne Memorial Rally, sponsored

by Vantage - the aluminium joinery company run by long-time friend and former co-driver Craig Vincent. To be held on September 7, the event will be also be the penultimate round of the Brian Green Property Group New Zealand Rally Championship - a title Bourne won in 1991.

• Mt Hutt girls head to Timaru The Mt Hutt College Girls’ tennis team heads to Timaru this weekend for the South Island Secondary School Championships.

Lance Maher takes a look at the speedway where he will be in control for the first time on Sunday.

Maher immersed in speedway

By Jonathan Leask Sunday’s Jo Giles Memorial doubles as Lance Maher’s first in charge of the Ashburton Speedway.

Long-serving president Ross Butterick and promoter Fiona Moffitt both stood down after the January race meeting and Maher has stepped up into both roles.

“It just happened that they both stood down at the same time and as vice-president I took over both roles,” Maher said.

“I came along to watch a mate race in Ashburton and then a few weeks later

a car came up for sale and away I went.

I’ve been racing for five years now and joined the committee along the way.”

He is now the man in charge and his first speedway meet as presidentpromoter features the third running of the Jo Giles A Grade Memorial.

TV personality Giles was also a speedway enthusiast, racing in Ashburton for several years but passed away in the February 2011 earthquake, and her memory will be honoured at the track where she started for a third year.

“The Jo Giles is the feature race and will be hotly-contested again. We also have the production car Mid Canterbury

Grand Prix as well as the other grades.

“Quite a few cars are still out of action after getting banged up in the national champs but we’ll still have a big day of racing across the grades.”

The track has been out of action since January 19, when a meeting was called off early due to dusty conditions, and as Mid Canterbury is in the midst of a “drought” the track remains dry, but Maher was confident the track preparation team would have it ready.

“They’ll put water on it over the next day or two and grade it down to look like new.”

Racing gets underway at 12.30pm.

Tussle for tennis lead

By Jonathan Leask The second round of open grade tennis is set for a thrilling finish with only two points separating the top four teams.

Allenton and Fairton are tied at the top on 27 points, after both were beaten 4-2 last weekend, with round one winners Hampstead on 26 and Dorie one point back in fourth - making for a big finish to the second round.

The key clash of the final round sees Allenton and Hampstead go hammer and tongs.

In round one they fought out a 3-3 tie, separated by a countback of games

that fell narrowly in favour of Hampstead 60-58. Another epic is on the cards.

With the other frontrunners going headto-head the advantage lies with Fairton who takes on the Methven. Methven has had mixed form all season and after they finished round one on the bottom rung they are only two points ahead of Tinwald in the second round.

Dorie, the runners-up in round one, are still a good chance to leapfrog from fourth to the front of the pack taking on Tinwald.

Tinwald has struggled throughout but recorded an upset 4-2 win over Allenton last weekend and could again prove the spoiler.

TAURUS (Apr 21st May 21st) Your ruler Venus remains bound to Neptune as the new month begins. This could lead to some genuinely magical exchanges in friendships, or someone may inspire you and then turn out to crush your hopes as you realise that they were all talk. This reminds me of Rudyard Kipling’s concepts of the twin imposters of triumph and disaster. Try to keep an even keel.

GEMINI (May 22nd Jun 21st) You might find your gaze drawn to someone rather fascinating at some point today.

You may see them as you go about your daily business, at work, travelling or even at the gym. Something about this individual may seem so captivating that it can be hard to concentrate on what’s what. Yet do try to shake yourself.

CANCER (Jun 22nd - Jul 23rd) Your career is set to come into focus this month Cancer, and you may have some big decisions to make.

Yet with Mercury twisting backwards for the first two weeks, it might be difficult to get the hard and fast information you need to make firm decisions. What is true is that some surprises are in store, but you may be the person springing them.

Softball legend Mark Sorenson says the Black Sox face advantages and disadvantages trying to reclaim the world title on home turf.

The world series begins on the North Shore today with added uncertainty over New Zealand’s chances because of poor build-up results and concerns about the pitching.

Sorenson said the softball world had “closed the gap” on New Zealand, who were beaten by Australia in the 2009 final.

“Being at home plays both ways. You haven’t got that vitriol from the stands and the support is worth a run or two,” said the triple world champion.

“The biggest challenge is off the field with people telling you how good you are. It’s only human nature to start to believe it.”

Sorenson questioned the poor lead-up results and was told that the players

The Uranus/Pluto square has seen you battling with a desire to break out and another one that resists letting people down.

Now, if one situation really has reached a point of no return, you may decide to go for it. This can see you much more risk-taking all through the month.

VIRGO (Aug 24th Sep 23rd) Your ruler Mercury starts this month as it ended the last one, in retreat. This can see you retracing your steps with certain people, so if there have been any crossed wires, it gives you the chance to try and sort things out.

were affected through being deliberately overloaded in training.

“The good thing is they didn’t fall apart - failures can expose cracks but I understand they stuck together really well,” he said.

“The biggest focus is around pitching and the challenge for the coaches is how they handle those guys. The emphasis on power hitting these days means we might see different pitchers used in different situations like baseball does.

“I’m only speculating, but they might tell one pitcher his job is to get these three guys out. We do have good pitchers but not a dominant one like Kevin Herlihy, Michael White or Chubb Tangaroa any more.”

Sorenson’s dream final would be the Black Sox seeking revenge against Australia.

LIBRA (Sep 24th Oct 23rd) If you really put the effort in, something which needs reorganising or your total focus can greatly benefit. The more practical this might be, the better. A complete domestic sortout, paring down debts or embracing a strict diet can gain from this. All this can help you to feel more decisive and more in control of your everyday structures.

SCORPIO (Oct 24th - Nov 22nd) Saturn may well cause you some issues in the next two years as it moves through your sign, but today it provides a really super angle to the Sun. This suggests that anything you start now that is well thought through has a good chance of success. However, with Mercury still rewinding, don’t leave any little details to chance.

Be meticulous.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23rd - Dec 21st) It’s a good day to get cracking on any domestic issue.

Willis was running in a specially set up race at the AUT Millennium track on the North Shore in Auckland in preparation for an attempt on the World Championships 1500m qualifying time of 3 minutes 35.00 seconds in Sydney in a week. The FAST 1500 race attracted a who’s who of middle distance athletes, just over three weeks out from the New Zealand track and field championships.

Sitting behind the early pace, Willis ran through the first lap in 57 seconds and backed up with a 58-second on lap 2, chased by Hamish Carson and Malcolm Hicks. Running on his own for the last 500 metres after the pacemakers dropped out, Willis reached the bell in 4 minutes and surged home with a last lap of 56 seconds.

• Tuqiri suffers another injury Lote Tuqiri’s wretched run with injuries has continued with the Wests Tigers winger set to miss the first four months of the NRL season due to an arm injury. Tuqiri underwent surgery on Tuesday after scans showed the broken arm he suffered in July last year had failed to heal.

A devastated Tuqiri said he was determined to return to the field despite the setback. “I was really looking forward to helping the club have the success that everyone is after this year,” Tuqiri said.

“I have to accept the reality. I will work hard on my rehab and hope to make a contribution later in the year.” On Tuesday, Tuqiri underwent bone grafts and had two plates inserted into the arm.

The 33 year old has been dogged by injuries since returning to the NRL from rugby union in 2010.

• Beale braces for extra traffic Melbourne Rebels five-eighth Kurtley Beale is expecting the NSW Waratahs to target his troublesome left shoulder which he says will definitely require an operation later this year.

Beale’s shoulder popped out and in during last week’s 30-13 Super Rugby loss to the Brumbies but he’s been given the all clear to face his former team the Waratahs at Allianz Stadium tonight.

The Wallabies star sustained the injury playing for Australia against England at Twickenham in November. “I can still play with it. There is a little bit of pain to cope with. I did that last week. It was a bit too much I think,” Beale said. “Later on in the year, it will definitely require surgery.

“I’ll worry about that more later in the year. I’ve got some footy games ahead of me if the shoulder pulls up fine after each week. Obviously, the Lions Tour is a big target.” Beale is bracing for plenty of extra traffic coming his way from the big Waratahs pack, as did the Brumbies last weekend. “I know the NSW pack will be targeting me in some areas,” he said. “That’s what happened last weekend and it’s probably why the injury happened.” - AAP

SUPER 15

Anscombe still has sights on 10 jersey

By Patrick McKendry He is happy to have another string to his bow, but Gareth Anscombe isn’t ready to give up on the No10 jersey just yet.

The new Chiefs player shone in the unfamiliar position of fullback in his team’s impressive victory over the Highlanders in Dunedin last weekend and he has been named at the back again against the Cheetahs in Hamilton tomorrow night but he still considers himself a first-five.

“I still see myself as a 10 and the coaches have indicated to me they still see me as a 10, but right now with a few injuries there’s an opportunity to play 15,” he said.

Incumbent first-five Aaron Cruden kept his position last week - though not the goalkicking duties - despite a groin strain, but Anscombe said playing in another position would help his game.

“It’s a good opportunity for me ... and as a 10 it is good to understand the ways of a fullback. Versatility can only help - nowadays you have to be able to play two positions so it’s nice having that and hopefully it grows

my game all-round. [Coaches Dave Rennie and Wayne Smith] talked to me at pre-season about possible ideas of playing at the back, with Cruds [Cruden] playing.

“It can only help me in the future.

There are other 10s around playing at the back and it can only help with higher honours. It’s a good learning curve for me. I guess I’ve got enough pace to play at the back.”

Unwanted by the Blues, Anscombe travelled to Hamilton before pre-season determined to work on his game - and goalkicking wasn’t one of them.

It explains his nervousness when handed the duties against the Highlanders. He responded by kicking eight from nine.

“In the pre-season I decided not to really practise it and try to work on other parts of my game and ramp it up as the competition wore on. And then at the same time I thought Cruds was kicking.

“I was pretty nervous going into it because I thought it was a bit underdone but I guess I’ve done it long enough to know my routines and know what it takes so thankfully I managed to get it right.”

Now sharing a flat with flanker Sam

Cane and lock Brodie Retallick, two teammates from his days in the New Zealand Under-20 team, Anscombe is enjoying the change of scenery away from Auckland.

“They’re a hard-working bunch of guys,” he said of the Chiefs. “It’s a really good culture and a family environment. the coaching environment speaks for itself.

“The senior guys have made me feel really welcome. Being away from some of the other distractions there are and being able to concentrate on my footy has been really good for me.”

Coach Dave Rennie has taken the opportunity to rest lock Craig Clarke and halfback Tawera Kerr-Barlow for the visit of the Cheetahs.

Hooker Hika Elliot is back from a calf strain and, in the other change to the starting XV, wing Lelia Masaga comes in for Patrick Osborne.

The Chiefs team to play the Cheetahs tomorrow is: Gareth Anscombe, Lelia Masaga, Tim Nanai-Williams, Bundee Aki, Asaeli Tikoirotuma, Aaron Cruden, Augustine Pulu, Fritz Lee, Sam Cane, Liam Messam (c), Brodie Retallick, Michael Fitzgerald, Ben Afeaki, Hika Elliot, Pauliasi Manu.

Reserves: Rhys Marshall, Ben Tameifuna, Craig Clarke, Tanerau Latimer, Tawera Kerr-Barlow, Charlie Ngatai, Patrick Osborne.

Upbeat or not, Carter holds key

By Patrick McKendry Talk of a new, up-tempo, style of play at the Crusaders from coach Todd Blackadder begs the question - are we going to see wholesale changes at Eden Park tomorrow night from the red and blacks? The short answer is: No. The Crusaders have relied on structure for too long to start playing like headless chooks - they won’t run everything against the Blues, a team which has traditionally liked an open game.

That will be playing into the hands of Sir John Kirwan’s men and negating the strengths of the Crusaders, which are: solid set piece, few mistakes and tight defence.

With a forward pack containing seven All Blacks, plus Matt Todd, they will play a percentage game like they always have done.

The tempo will be set as usual by Dan Carter and the main difference is likely to be what occurs outside him.

Over the past three seasons (he missed 2009 as he was with Perpignan), Carter has felt bogged down by the responsibility of getting his team over the gain line.

Dan Carter still holds the key to the Crusaders’ game plan.

It has been a burden and one he doesn’t face with the national team.

Too often the Crusaders backs have looked to him for ideas, now it’s time to start providing a few of their own.

Blackadder’s decision to take the vice-captaincy off him is significant too, and would have come after consultation with the 30-year-old who has played 94 times for the All Blacks and 109 times for the Crusaders. It is an attempt to free the shackles and to get Carter back to his free-wheeling best.

In seeking a solution to his biggest challenge - how to get the best out of his All Blacks, especially Carter and Israel Dagg - Blackadder is concentrating less on the final outcome, which is a first title win for the seven-time champions since 2008, and more about enjoyment.

New backs coaches Tabai Matson and Aaron Mauger have important roles to play here. Matson, a bubbly character who took over Rob Penney’s head coaching role at Canterbury last season and carried on the team’s provincial dominance, will have brought new ideas, along with Mauger, following Daryl Gibson’s resignation.

Matson and Mauger also appear to

know what buttons to push in order to get the best out of Robbie Fruean, a giant midfielder who provided a highlight in this corresponding match last season when sending Piri Weepu flying backwards with one hydrauliclike push.

Some commentators have suggested the coaching pair will follow the Canterbury pattern of width - stretching teams across the park - which can become predictable.

The style, which seeks to pit fleetfooted outside backs against tight forwards, has become a Crusaders hallmark too.

If done endlessly it can become predictable. The key lies with Carter, who when on his game is one of the best around at seeking the best option - pass, kick or have a dart himself.

It’s down to motivation - how hard the Crusaders backs motivate themselves to get into attacking positions when their lungs are burning - and ideas.

If Carter has both happening outside him the night should be a good one for him and the Crusaders, up-tempo or not.

SPEEDWAY Boss P21 | Super 15 forecasts P22-23

Rutherford stakes claim Otago opener Hamish Rutherford has just improved his odds of making his test debut in Dunedin next week.

Until yesterday the 23-year-old lefthander had a 50 per cent chance of opening the batting alongside Peter Fulton in the first test against England.

He was named in the test squad with fellow prospect Tom Latham, but yesteray put some distance between himself and his main rival with a fine innings of 90 for the New Zealand XI against England in a tour match in Queenstown.

At stumps on day two the New Zealand XI had reached 224-6 and trail England by 202 runs.

Rutherford looked a sound bet for a century but was defeated by a delivery from Chris Woakes 10 runs shy of the milestone. He made his way slowly to the sideline, head held low. He stopped just over the boundary rope and practised the shot a few more times before ripping off his pads.

He need not be disappointed, surely a test spot beckons. He hit 13 fours and plenty of them were pleasing shots down the ground or through the covers.

He also played a memorable lofted drive off Swann down the ground

What is this person famous for?

for six to release the shackles when England’s attack had got on top.

There is a touch of class about Rutherford junior. He does not have the wide array of shots his father, former New Zealand cricketer Ken, possessed. But he has made improvements to his game and is scoring more often on the on-side than he has in the past.

His 81-run partnership with Dean Brownlie provided the backbone of the home side’s innings. Brownlie’s knock of 63 was decent, although he batted more like a player keen on the practice than one trying to get his team into a position to win.

Regardless, he saw off the threats of Stuart Broad and Graeme Swann and will take confidence into the test series.

In general, the English attack was much more disciplined than the home side and got better the longer the day went on.

Earlier, England resumed on 357-7 and rattled on 69 runs in just under an hour. Bell advanced his overnight score from 127 to 158 before becoming the last man out, well caught by sub fielder Michael Rae. Strike bowler Neil Wagner did his test prospects no harm, taking 4-98 from just over 26 overs, while Jimmy Neesham also claimed four wickets.

Tofa Touli unleashes a record-breaking effort in the shot put at the Ashburton College athletic finals day yesterday.

Records tumble at school athletics

By Jonathan Leask It was scorching hot but the records still tumbled at the Ashburton College athletics finals yesterday.

Students competed in 27 degree temperatures at the Ashburton Domain but the action on the track and in the field was equally hot, with four records falling in the field and one equalled on the track.

In the under 14 boys, Alin Onicas tossed his discus 35.93m to beat the longstanding mark set by Brad Gordon in 1985 of 34.00m.

Onicas showed his power in the field and then his speed on the track, equalling the 100m record clocking 12.2, the same as Sam Wilson in 2000.

Rebecca Harper-Grey extended the under 14 girls’ discus record by two metres throwing 26.98m, bettering Greer

Hooper’s 2011 effort of 24.97. Hooper lost her under 14 discus record so went ahead and claimed a new record in the under 16 girls’ discus, throwing 33.05m to smash the previous mark of 26.97 thrown by Kama Wilson in 2001.

The last record to fall on the day was in the shot put as Tofa Touli heaved the under 19 boys’ 5kg shot put 13.61 to smash Johan Marlow’s former record of 12.80 set in 2007.

Breakers extend winning streak in style With their coach and spiritual leader both marking major milestones, the Breakers were never losing their match against the Adelaide 36ers.

And so it proved at Vector Arena last night, as the defending champions destroyed the 36ers 104-79 to celebrate the achievements of Andrej Lemanis and Mika Vukona in style. The victory was the first time this season the Breakers have topped 100 points, coming in Lemanis’ 250th game

in charge of the club and Vukona’s 200th outing in a Breakers singlet.

Those numbers added up to a 13th straight victory for the league-leaders, who extended their club record streak and increased the Breakers’ (21-3) lead over the pesky Perth Wildcats (19-5).

With four games to come, including a final-day showdown in Western Australia, the Breakers are still in the box seat for a third straight minor premiership.

Today’s answers:

The 36ers looked like a last-placed side for much of proceedings. That owed a lot to a high-powered Breakers offence, which started fast after a two-week break and all but sealed the game with a dominant 30-12 third quarter.

Vukona was a large part of that, typically all action at both ends of the floor and registering 11 points, seven assists and five steals. He became the third Breaker to reach 200 games.
