‘Our retail heart is being killed’ BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

INSIDE

Parking meters are killing Ashburton’s retail heart, say its central business district retailers. The retailers are so concerned at the future of the town centre, a delegation of business owners made a presentation yesterday to Ashburton District councillors, calling on them to remove all parking meters and create one-hour free parking zones in the inner town. Parking meters and particularly the pay-and-display machines that regularly malfunctioned, turned shoppers away at a time when retailers were already struggling, said pharmacist Carolyn Cameron. “We already have about a 20 per cent

vacancy now in the CBD and these meters are acting as a disincentive to people to stop and shop in Ashburton,” she said. “Anecdotally we know the pedestrian foot count on the street is down. Ask any retailer. There will be no main street in 10 years time if you don’t make parking more attractive.” Retailers in the CBD were battling on all fronts for survival, she said, with some opting to move to the edges of town where not only were rentals cheaper but where there was better parking. All were forced to come up with new ways to survive in an environment where e-commerce was well entrenched, Ms Cameron said. “Parking metres are the single biggest

contributor to the decline in business in the CBD. It’s important you understand the viability and vibrancy of the CBD is at stake. Sadly whatever we do, it’s to no avail when we have the council limiting our ability to offer customers services because of parking.” Retailers were focused on ensuring the CBD had a strong heart with few empty shops, clothing retailer Tony Todd said. “The pay-and-display machines are dogs and we’re bearing the brunt of frustrated customers. We’re asking you to remove the meters and put in place time restrictions,” he said.

■ WATER RALLY PROTEST

Mayoral meeting rejected By Sue NewmaN

On Wednesday Mr McKay invited Ms Branje and other protest rally organisers to meet with himself, deputy mayor Darryl Nelson and finance committee chair Neil Brown to discuss their concerns. That invitation was turned down and Mr McKay said he was disappointed the two groups could not get together to talk through the issues. “From my experience, the first step in the resolution of any dispute is for both parties to get together and put their concerns on the table,” Mr McKay said. While Ms Branje refuses to speak to the Guardian, on a Face-

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

The gulf between Ashburton water protest rally leader, Jen Branje and Ashburton Mayor Angus McKay is widening. As community angst increases over a plan by the Ashburton District Council to sell a site at the North East Business Park to a water bottling company, Mr McKay and Ms Branje, who vehemently opposes the sale, have been at a very public loggerheads. She is spearheading a public rally to be held in the Ashburton Domain on April 16 in opposition to the sale.

book page she gave the following as her reasons for declining the mayor’s invitation. “This deal has gone on long enough behind closed doors and personally, I don’t want to be party to any private meeting regarding water consent at Lot 9. If our mayor has anything he feels needs to be said, it should be in the public forum, for all to hear and evaluate. “I’m a bit too long in the tooth to be hauled into the headmaster’s office for a grilling (smile emoticon). “I have passed this invitation on to the Waimaori Lot 9 Action

Group Committee.” The Facebook post says. In defending the planned sale, Mr McKay said that at every step of the way all required consultation had been undertaken. “The Ashburton District Council has acted in what it considers to be the best interests of the Ashburton community. This will be a considerable land sale that will benefit all ratepayers in the district,” he said. While the council was selling a block of land (with a water consent in place) to a water bottling company, the site could also be used for a range of other ‘wet’ in-

dustries including horticulture or an abbatoir, In spite of Ms Branje’s refusal to talk with councillors or himself about the issue, Mr McKay said his door was open to anyone in the community who had concerns over the land sale. “I welcome them coming to talk to us.” The Bung the Bore Facebook page says that the protest and information rally is being held to “show our discontent with water consents being given to offshore investors allowing them to come here, take our water, and ship it offshore at no cost!”

■ TURKEY DELEGATION

Seed breeders look for seed trade opportunities By NadiNe Porter

nadine.P@theguardian.co.nz

A group of visiting influential Turkish seed breeders were in Mid Canterbury yesterday to look at our seed production and make new business partnerships. Organised by the New Zealand Grain and Seed Trade Association (NZGSTA) and the NZ Plant Breeding and Research Association, the 27 strong delegation from Turkey’s seed companies visited South Pacific Seeds, South Island Seeds and a Pendarves arable farm yesterday. NZGSTA president Barry McCarter said the study tour allowed the local seed industry to showcase itself as a premier seed producer and help international customers gain a greater appreciation of the processes and investment in the industry for contract seed production and multiplication. The whirlwind three-day

Canterbury visit will finish today when a memorandum of understanding will be signed between the two countries and trade opportunities explored. NZGSTA general manager Thomas Chin said the group had been impressed with the infrastructure in the Canterbury seed industry and he hoped it would bring new business opportunities for seed producers. “We have an idea the contacts generated by the study tour will translate into new partnerships and market opportunities for Kiwi seed exporters.” Sub Union of Seed Industrialists and Producers of Turkey director Yildiray Gencer said the group came to New Zealand because of its reputation as a great seed producer. “We wanted to see the opportunities for trade between Turkey and New Zealand.”

Della’s our latest top model By Erin TaskEr

Erin.t@thEguardian.co.nz

Della Glassey used to curse her curves and hide from the camera; never in a million years did she see herself as a model. But next week, that’s exactly what the 47-year-old mother of three will be doing after winning a competition run by a fashion chain which caters to the plussized woman – Taking Shape, or TS14 Plus – to find models for its next catalogue. It was something she wouldn’t have even considered entering 10 years ago, but after years of struggling with her body and unsuccessfully trying every diet under the sun, Della learned to accept her body and her curves once she hit her 40s. “Back in the day models needed to be skinny, six foot tall and didn’t eat for days, but it’s not like that now, it’s about being happy within yourself and loving your curves,” she said. “That’s what I love about TS14 Plus, is that they try to inspire the normal woman; we have bumps, we have curves, we have stretch marks. “It’s about saying it’s okay to be who you are and believing in yourself, and believing that you can do it.” Next week she’ll fly to Melbourne where she’ll get to experience the model life for a couple of days; her airfares, accommodation and transfers are all paid for, and she gets a $500 voucher too – which she plans to spend in the Taking Shape’s Riccarton store before she goes. “I love clothes and I always like to try and look nice, because when you look good, you feel good.”

on why she should be chosen. Her written entry was all about feeling good about yourself, and she didn’t think any more of it, until she got a call on Tuesday saying she was one of the winners. Eight models were chosen, and Della was the only winner from New Zealand.

Della said she’d always been a bigger girl, and struggled with it when she was younger. “Before my 40s I used to think this is an issue, but now I have learnt to accept it and this is me, and to enjoy it,” To enter she had to supply two photos of herself, and 200 words

Rates rise likely to be 3.3 per cent By suE nEwman

Ashburton Guardian

A rate rise of just 3.3 per cent next year is almost set in concrete for Ashburton District property owners. Yesterday district councillors worked their way through the draft copy of their annual plan that spells out where the $31.319 million it will collect in rates will be spent next year. Transportation absorbs the largest share of rates, $6.92 million. This includes spending on the district’s 2773 kilometres of roads as well as its 224 kilometres of footpaths and its cycleways. Recreation and leisure absorbs the next largest slice of rates, $6.38 million, up 9.9 per cent on the amount allocated to this area in the current year. This area of spending includes the EA Networks Centre, the Ashburton Art Gallery and Heritage Centre, the Ashburton Trust Event Centre and the library. An increase in operating expenditure at the EA Networks Centre has pumped up this budget by almost $700,000. The council will also invest an extra $88,000 worth of capital expenditure in the complex for

a pool automation filter and a fence. Wastewater and drinking water will take about $4 million each from total rates. The biggest winners this year when the first rates bills of the new year are posted will be property owners in Mayfield. The rates on a house with a capital value of $232,800 will drop by 1.89 per cent thanks to a decline in its roading, water supply and refuse collection rate. Dromore, up 8.8 per cent and Methven, up 7.6 per cent are the two areas carrying the bulk of the rates increase burden in the next year. A significant increase in water supply rates have been the catalyst for both Methven and Dromore’s rates hikes. While targeted rates for water and solid waste may vary across the district and different amenity rates are paid in different areas, all ratepayers are levied a uniform annual general charge and a general rate. The council will sign off its draft annual plan later this month ahead of a series of public meetings as part of its community consultation, starting in Methven on April 26 and wrapping up at Hakatere on May 4.

‘Our retail heart is being killed’ Ashburton retailers claim From P1 “The question for everyone is how do we stop the CBD becoming a ghost town? Small-town New Zealand is under threat from malls and online shopping.” Ashburton was moving through its post-earthquake rebuild with

a huge investment planned in the inner town. Those new complexes would need to attract new tenants, Mr Todd said. “We need to create an environment that’s attractive. There will be quite a few spaces to fill and we already have gaps there now.

“You have to ask, are we working hard enough and putting ourselves out there enough to attract new retail to Ashburton? “Ashburton’s CBD will not survive if we sit on our hands and hope it will happen. The council needs to look at the bigger picture

and ask does it want to create a better shopping environment or not?” Scrapping parking meters and returning to limited-time parking was a simple change, but if the council didn’t bite the bullet and make that change, then many businesses in the CBD would not

be there for much longer, health store retailer Bob McDonald said. “It’s such a simple decision, a simple solution, it could happen tomorrow.” The council will discuss the submission at a parking strategy workshop later this month.

Rising burglary figures ‘not bad’ The number of burglaries committed in Mid/South Canterbury continues to rise, but police say it’s not as bad as it seems. A 52 per cent increase in burglaries for the Mid/South area may sound like a lot, but Ashburton Police senior sergeant Scott Banfield said much of that was down to a rise in the Timaru area, and a change in the definition of a burglary. A burglary used to be something taken from a dwelling, but the definition has expanded to now also include something taken from a car parked up a drive way, for example. In the past, something taken from a car no matter where it was, would have been defined as a theft from a car. As a result, the number of thefts from motor vehicles had dropped by 10 per cent. Mr Banfield said for the year to date, total recorded crime in Mid/South Canterbury had dropped 14 per cent. But Labour’s police spokesperson Stuart Nash said the rise in burglary numbers – 11 per cent nationally for the 2015/16 year was concerning. “These crimes are invasions of privacy and potentially life threatening. Every Kiwi deserves to feel safe in their own home,” he said. He said the National Government needed to admit that police were struggling as a result of underfunding.

In brief Cat rescued The Mid Canterbury SPCA were called to a cat-astrophe on Burnett Street yesterday after several wild cats got stuck in the container near the arcade. Inspector John Keeley said one was freed relatively quickly and taken to the vet but it was suspected there were a few more. The SPCA planned to go back last night to try to lure them out.

Car crashes off road A woman was lucky to escape uninjured after her car crashed off the road near Staveley on Wednesday. Emergency services were called to the scene – on Arundel Rakaia Gorge Road – at 6am, with police and St John ambulance attending. The female occupant was assessed at the scene but was not transported to hospital.

Breakfast fundraiser A breakfast fundraiser for Women’s Refuge, presented by the Mid Canterbury Families Without Violence Network, will be held in Methven next week. Held at the Southern Cross Lodge from 9am on Wednesday, the event’s guest speaker will be Chanelle O’Sullivan from Farming Mums NZ. Tickets are available from Safer Ashburton on the corner of Cass and Moore streets, and the $30 price covers a buffet breakfast. All proceeds will go to South Island Women’s Refuge and Family Safety Services.

■ TEACHER REGISTRATIONS

Long process ‘frustrating’ By RuBy HaRfield

Ruby.h@theguaRdian.co.nz

The Education Council’s outdated and time-consuming system for a teacher to renew their practising certificate is causing delays for schools and their employees, a Mid Canterbury School principal says. Every three years a teacher needs to renew their practising certificate with the Education Council to show they have satisfactory teaching experience and have recently been assessed as meeting all practising teacher criteria. Tinwald School principal Peter Livingstone said while it is important to have a watertight system the current process takes far too long and needs to be changed. He currently has a teacher who is still waiting for renewal after receiving the paperwork back for the third time for a few things

Peter Livingstone including not having the correct marriage licence or a birth certificate issued before 1998. The bureaucracy behind it seems to be unnecessary and could have been dealt with better, he said. Instead of the paperwork being sent back three times maybe they could look at the whole

documentation and send back all errors in one go. Also some of the documentation for proof of identity seems to be inconsistent with other government organisations, such as the Education Council accepting a birth certificate for proof of identity but not the Department of Internal Affairs, Mr Livingstone said. Then there is the problem of the council not accepting a birth certificate issued before 1998 meaning nearly all teachers need to pay and apply to get a new one. All of this means that the process can take months, during which time a teacher’s registration can lapse and an extension needs to be applied for. He has no issues with the need to have a robust system in place more the fact that it takes so long, is inefficient and is inconsistent with other government

branches. An electronic system with the right authorisation security would be much more efficient and safer, Mr Livingstone said. Hampstead School principal Peter Melrose said his teachers sometimes get their paperwork sent back but it is something they have to do every three years so they should be aware of the process. The system needs to be absolutely secure to ensure there are no problems with teachers so if it takes a long time and they send things back then that is just something that needs to be accepted, he said. Methven Primary School principal Chris Murphy also agreed that it should be thorough and teachers need to be prepared for it. “Schools can rest assured that teachers are who they say they are,” he said.

A man who died after his car crashed into a stream in Taranaki yesterday morning has been identified. Siolo Malili, 36, from New Plymouth was the driver and sole occupant of the vehicle that crashed on Wiremu Road, Opunake, sometime before 6.50am. The crash was discovered by a member of the public who called police. “It appears the vehicle has left the road and crashed into the stream beside the road,” police said. “Ambulance staff were the first to arrive at the scene and found Mr Malili deceased inside his car.” The serious crash unit is investigating. - NZME

Students’ necks cut St Kentigern College head Steve Cole says two boys whose necks were cut with a prop razor during Wednesday night’s opening performance of Sweeney Todd are out of hospital and doing well. In an interview with Newstalk ZB’s Larry Williams, Mr Cole explained the “unfortunate” incident happened halfway through the performance’s second act. The prop was a razor which had been blunted and wrapped in several protective layers, Mr Cole said. “It’s normal for Sweeney Todd to have such an instrument [and it] clearly had been checked many, many times. “It has been bound and cellophaned and all sorts of things. It had been blunted and had been through all sorts of health and safety checks. It was a very unfortunate mistake.” The scene had been performed “many times” since January including eight dress rehearsals where the prop was used. - NZME

In brief

Recycling station set to open By RuBy HaRfield

Ruby.h@theguaRdian.co.nz

Mt Somers’ new recycling depot should be up and running in the next few weeks, Ashburton District Council waste recovery manager Craig Goodwin says. The community recycling station, which will be based at Mt Somers Springburn School, has been in the pipeline for about

eight months. It was hoped to be up and running by the beginning of this year but development work took longer than expected. Mr Goodwin said the site is now set up but the finishing touches still need to be put on this signs. This should be done within the next few weeks and after that the community will be able

to start using it. It will be great to have the facility at the school and they have been great to work with, he said. The station used to be situated near the Mt Somers Tavern but it was decided to move it to a more recognisable place. The school is a central place within the community and students will be able to learn about

sustainability with the new station. The project was set up by council, Mt Somers Springburn School and the Mt Somers District Citizens Association. The station will be able to be used at any time of the day because it is on a driveway that students are not able to access during school time.

Countdown pulls eggs Countdown is removing eggs sourced from a farm implicated in footage showing dead rotting hens in their cages. Animal advocacy activists released the footage of the Waikato colony egg farm on Wednesday. It also depicted severely de-feathered hens living in overcrowded conditions. Yesterday, Countdown announced it will be taking off the shelves all its eggs sourced from the Waikato farm until it could be sure the farm’s practices were up to scratch. Spokesman James Walker said none of its eggs came from the farm’s colony caged hens, but 14 of its stores did stock a small number of its conventional caged eggs. “We are hopeful that other retailers stocking this brand will seek the same reassurances. The footage shown is disturbing and disappointing to us.” - NZME

Green MP Marama Davidson had been speaking to Peihopa’s sister, and said a coroner had ruled this out. “The coroner told Rob’s family that he had sustained a head injury. But he wants to further investigate,” she said. Four people were arrested on Wednesday in relation to Peihopa’s death. Ms Davidson said the family had not been able to see his body, and she was urging the New Zealand Government to intervene. “The Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Tuesday said that the New Zealand High Commission was in touch with Australian authorities. - NZME

New PM and early poll Iceland’s government has named a new prime minister and called for early elections, after Prime Minister Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson quit because of the Panama Papers leaks. It was unclear whether the naming of Fisheries Minister Sigurdur Ingi Johannsson to head the government or the call for early elections would satisfy the thousands of Icelanders who in street protests this week demanded the government resign immediately for early elections. Gunnlaugsson quit as prime minister after leaked documents from a Panamanian law firm showed his wife owned an offshore company that held millions of dollars in debt from failed Icelandic banks. The government said the decision to hold elections in autumn would give it time to follow through on one of the biggest economic policy changes in decades – the ending of capital controls introduced to rescue the economy from the 2008 financial crisis. Protesters, already fed up with the financial and political elite after the 2008 banking

Group confuses Americans A Japanese girl group that mixes heavy metal riffage with pop choruses has confused the heck out of Americans with their US television debut. Babymetal, who have racked up millions of views on YouTube with the frenetic genre-mashing of songs like Karate and Megastune, made their US debut on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. The three teens performed their biggest hit Gimme Chocolate!! Colbert warned viewers beforehand: “I’m not sure what I’m about to see. But I’m pretty excited about it!” Many viewers failed to share in the presenter’s enthusiasm. Some seemed downright confused about what they were seeing.

crisis wrecked their economy, have gathered the last three nights in the capital Reykjavik, some pelting parliament with yoghurt and eggs. “I feel like I am watching a live show of House of Cards,” Erla Gisladottir, a 32-year-old mother on parental leave, said ahead of the government’s de-

cision to call new elections, referring to a television show about political intrigue. Polls show the anti-establishment Pirate Party in the lead if a new election is called in the country of 330,000 people, a result with potentially wider impact across Europe where mainstream political

parties are fending off populists. Iceland has struggled to recover from the 2008 collapse of its highly indebted banks, which led to popular protests, the fall of a government and the jailing of many bankers. Many Icelanders still harbour a strong distrust of their leaders. - Reuters

Diabetes cases quadruple

Brussels terrorist worked at EU Parliament

The number of adults with diabetes has quadrupled worldwide in under four decades to 422 million, and the condition is fast becoming a major problem in poorer countries, a World Health Organisation study shows. In one of the largest studies to date of diabetes trends, the researchers said ageing populations and rising levels of obesity across the world mean diabetes is becoming “a defining issue for global public health”. Type 2 diabetes is a long-term condition characterised by insulin resistance. Patients can manage their diabetes with medication and diet, but the disease is

often life-long and is a major cause of blindness, kidney failure, heart attacks, stroke and lower limb amputation. “Obesity is the most important risk factor for type 2 diabetes and our attempts to control rising rates of obesity have so far not proved successful,” said Majid Ezzati, a professor at Imperial College London who led the WHO research. Published in The Lancet journal on ahead of the United Nations World Health Day today, the study used data from 4.4 million adults in different world regions to estimate age-adjusted diabetes prevalence for 200 countries. - Reuters

The perpetrators blew themselves up in the city’s international airport and an underground station near the Brussels headquarters of the European Union’s main institutions. “Seven and six years ago, one of the perpetrators of the Brussels terrorist attacks worked for a period of one month for a cleaning company which was contracted by the European Parliament at the time,” spokesman for the organisation Jaume Duch said. “As a student, he held a summer holiday job cleaning at the parliament for one month in 2009 and one month in 2010,” he added. The cleaning firm had submitted proof that the perpetrator - who has not been identified - had no criminal record at the time. Three of the four attackers have so far been identified: Brusselsborn brothers Ibrahim and Khalid El Bakraoui, and Najim Laachraoui, a Belgian national.

The producer of a new Thomas the Tank Engine film that features a host of new foreign characters has rejected claims that film-makers had bowed to political correctness by introducing the multicultural cast. The Great Race, which will be released next month, features 13 new international engines, including Yong Bao, a red engine from China, Ivan of Russia, and Ashima, a hand-painted engine from the Nilgiri Mountain Railway in Southern India. The new characters will represent their countries, alongside Britain’s entrant, the Flying Scotsman, in a train race.

Rowling’s chair sold The humble chair JK Rowling sat on while writing the first two books of the Harry Potter series was auctioned in New York City for $NZ577,000. An anonymous private collector made the winning bid, Heritage Auctions said. The chair is one of four mismatched chairs given to the then little-known writer for her flat in Edinburgh, Scotland, and which she used while writing Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. The seller, Gerald Gray, of Worsley, England, said the winning bid far exceeded his expectations. The chair was auctioned before once by Rowling herself to benefit a charity in 2002 where it fetched $21,000, and on eBay in 2009 where it brought $29,000.

ments on their mortgage. Craig Herbison, BNZ’s director of retail and marketing said the research suggested home owners were more likely to be thinking long-term about their finances than non-property owners.

“This will have big consequences for their finances.” Herbison said nearly threequarters of home owners regularly reviewed their mortgage which could allow people to pay off their loan sooner.

He said more non-home owners needed to take a hands-on approach with managing their money. “Ideally we’d like to see this discipline in a greater number of non-home owners, more than a

to reverse the losses seen since the beginning of the year. The index is now just over 12 per cent lower than where it started the year. Whole milk powder, a key product group for New Zealand, rose 1.5 per cent. The next GDT auction will be held on April 19 and farmers will be hoping for another rise. Although this is unlikely to have an effect on the current season’s payout, it could have a positive influence on the next season. The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) met this week to discuss whether or not to change the current cash rate from 2.00 per cent. As was expected, the RBA chose to keep rates on hold, citing continued uncertainty for the global economic outlook, stubbornly low inflation and that the Australian economy is still in a rebalancing process. However, the RBA considers these conditions warrant an accommodative monetary policy. If the labour market doesn’t continue to improve and if inflation remains low, the RBA may see fit to cut rates further. The market is pricing in a chance of a rate cut later in the year. In other central bank news, Bank of Japan Governor, Haruhiko Koruda, has said that

he is prepared to loosen monetary policy further if required through either increasing asset purchases, by lowering the deposit rate further into negative territory, or both. Data from the US late last week showed a better that expected non-farm payroll jobs report, with 215,000 jobs added for the month, although the unemployment rate rose marginally to 5.0 per cent from 4.9 per cent. Average hourly earnings increased 0.3 per cent for the month taking the annual gain to 2.3 per cent. However, it wasn’t all positive news, with manufacturing employment falling and temporary hiring remaining weak. Investors in the US in particular are looking towards the next quarterly reporting season, set to kick off on Monday with Alcoa. While due to start off quietly next week, it will ramp up in the following fortnight. Expectations are fairly low, with the market predicting an earnings decline of 7.4 per cent, relative to the first quarter last year. This would make for the weakest quarter in terms of earnings growth since 2009. After the recent rebound we have seen, this earnings season could be the catalyst for a renewed sell-down in global markets, with share prices unwinding to reflect the uninspiring results.

April off to a mixed beginning fter such a strong March, markets have had a mixed start to April. The NZX50 continues to hover around its record high levels reached at the end of March, but has started April lower. The ASX200 is following a similar vein, seeing intraday fluctuations as commodity prices continue to swing. It wasn’t a hugely busy week in terms of economic data in New Zealand but there were two pieces of data that the market was looking forward to. Firstly the New Zealand Institute of Economic Research’s Quarterly Survey of Business Opinion (QSBO) and secondly the latest Global Dairy Trade (GDT) auction. The QSBO is widely followed and gives an up-to-date indication of how business sentiment is tracking. After a positive December reading, markets were expecting a much more subdued tone given the poor conditions in the dairy sector, the stubbornly high NZ dollar and the weakening global economic outlook. March’s reading was sufficiently lacklustre, showing a net 1 per cent of firms expect business conditions to deteriorate. Of the firms surveyed, a net 18 per cent experienced better trading activity, equal with December’s result, while hiring intentions scaled back from 14 to 9 per cent. The latest GDT auction surprised markets, with an increase in the average price of 2.1 per cent from the previous auction. This is only the second rise for the year, but was not enough

third of whom said they let their finances take care of themselves. “This is unlikely to set them up for the future they want and deserve.” Non-home owners were also overly pessimistic about buying a house in the future with 70 per cent saying it was a lot harder to buy property in today’s market than in the past. Just 37 per cent believed it was a good time to buy a first home compared to 63 per cent of home owners. While 64 per cent of non-home owners said they had the capacity to save some money more than half (59 per cent) did not believe they could get on the property ladder in the next five years. To buy a first home nearly half (47 per cent) would raid their retirement savings by accessing KiwiSaver while 18 per cent would take money from parents or family and a 15 per cent would have their parents go as guarantors. The research was carried out by Colmar Brunton in March and had 2000 respondents. - NZME

People who don’t own their own home are more likely to live payday to payday and more than half feel their prospects of getting on the property ladder in their home town within five years are slim. Research by the BNZ looking at Kiwis’ financial futures has revealed vastly different money habits and attitudes between those who own property and those who do not. While 50 per cent of non-home owners said they lived pay cheque to pay cheque just 23 per cent of home-owners were doing that. When it came to surviving the financial speed bumps in life home owners were also much more resilient with 77 per cent saying they could cope compared to only half of non-home owners. Home owners also appeared to be better at saving. A third of non-home owners said they spent more than what they earned whereas 43 per cent of home owners were making lifestyle sacrifices like reducing their spend on holidays, clothes and technology to make extra pay-

OUR VIEW

Can the meters, let chalk do the talking Sue Newman

ood on Ashburton’s retailers for banding together and telling it like it is as they struggle to do business in an environment where the cards are stacked against them. They’re battling a mish-mash of buildings, old, new, decrepit and in many cases with empty windows where their neighbours have packed up, moved and never returned. They’re battling for their own survival, but more than that, they’re battling to keep Ashburton’s town centre alive. Ashburton is at a cross roads in terms of how its retail heart will look in a few years’ time. If we get it right, the town centre will be thriving and stocked with great retail stores. It will be buzzing with people who come from out of town to shop in what could become a retail destination. We have developers with great plans but those plans will come to nothing if the heart of the town dies before the new walls rise around it. If Ashburton’s retail precinct is to realise its potential we have to start by giving shoppers every possible incentive to come into town to spend their money. And that starts with parking. Our short-term parking spaces generally meet demand. Some of those are free, with a two hour time limit, others are governed by parking meters. And that’s the problem. Meters work in many parts of New Zealand, but there’s something in the Ashburton psyche that means they’re not well accepted here. That may have everything to do with the machines themselves. From the first machine, they’ve been a bad experience. The old style meters were often on the blink and their replacements are no better. We were clearly sold a lemon when the council bought the pay and display machines on East Street. They’re out of service more often than in. Retailers are fed up with fielding complaints from angry shoppers and disenchanted shoppers are opting to shop out of town. The retailers have put a stake in the ground. They want the meters removed with a return to limited time parking. It’s a no-brainer. The council might lose money in parking fees but it will lose much, much more if our retail heart dies.

YOUR VIEW Giving water away The Ashburton District Council under the guidance of Mayor McKay have managed to alienate the people of Mid Canterbury once again. The art gallery being the other occasion. I can understand him getting excited about selling a decentsized lump of land at the industrial park. After all there is plenty to sell. But to add the bonus of 40 billion litres of water for free is like Saudi Arabia giving away oil during the 70’s world oil crisis. It is time that the government and their unelected puppets, ECan, put a stop to the wholesale rape of the world’s most important life form. Simon Blissett

orget exercise and watching what you eat. That got your attention didn’t it? It certainly did with me as well. All you have to do to lose weight is add some beans to your diet apparently. According to a new study, simply adding a serving of beans to your daily diet can help you lose weight … even if you do nothing else to alter what you eat. Researchers who have analysed clinical trials involving close to 1000 adults have found that participants who eat a daily serving of beans feel 31 per cent fuller, leading them to eat less food overall. The successful participants consumed a single serving of pulses – meaning dried seeds of legumes, such as beans, chickpeas, lentils, or peas – and didn’t make any effort to restrict or reduce their other food intake. Maybe we are about to start hearing “would you like beans with that order” at a certain fast food outlet in the near future? Sure you may be skinny, but you’d be a nightmare to live with. That is a perfect segue into this. When is the perfect stage in a relationship to let one rip? According to a new study, the perfect time to break wind in front of a partner is between two and six months into the relationship. But the research notes that, if you’re having regular sleepovers, you’ve probably already ‘broken the barrier’. Not everyone is so relaxed however. Fully 9.3 per cent of people polled would rather wait at least a year. The two-to-six month period of a relationship also coincides with when a couple is likely to say “I love you” the first time. Just make sure you follow through with one and not the other. I’m not sure a serving of beans is going to help anyone tucking

Ashburton Guardian 15

In brief Do you know who I am? Even golfing legend and six-time Masters champion Jack Nicklaus gets carded by security while driving into Augusta National. Nicklaus was stopped for identification three times while travelling down the club’s iconic Magnolia Lane driveway on his way to the Champions Dinner. Although it took a minute, when each guard realised they were talking to arguably the greatest golfer of all time they apologised, shook his hand and even let him smuggle in his son. “Why are they so nice to you?” Nicklaus’ friend asked. “I don’t know,” he humbly replied. - AAP

Wall dominant on the water By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

The Ashburton College contingent’s fine form has continued at the Maadi Cup, with some exceptional semi-final performances yesterday. Lara Biggs, Emma Stagg, Katie Dolan, Mollie Gibson and coxswain Emma Jansen progressed to the girls’ under-15 coxed quad sculls final following a second place in their semi-final. The foursome posted a time of 7.52.81 to narrowly edge out Glendowie College (7.52.88) in a

thrilling battle for second spot, while St Peter’s School (7.46.67) took first place spoils. The girls’ under-18 double sculls duo of Grace Wilson and Erin Connelly-Whyte also progressed to their final with a fourth placing behind Craighead Diocesan School, Fraser High School and Tauranga Girls’ College. Meanwhile, golden girl Veronica Wall’s dominance continued, taking another first place in the girls’ under-16 single sculls semifinal. The 16-year-old recorded a

time of 8.29.59 – more than five seconds quicker than Te Awamutu College’s Sophie Dixon in second. Wall continued to patrol the age groups in clinical fashion with another blistering time in the girls’ under-17 single sculls semi-final. The College starlet blew away the field in a time of 8:48.01 – more than 15 seconds ahead of her closest rival, Georgia Keech of Sacred Heart Girls’ College (9:03.37) in second. To round off another outstand-

ing day, Wall sped to first place in the girls’ under-18 single sculls semi-final in a time of 8.22.52, ahead of Hastings Girls’ High School’s Jessica Turfrey (8.26.59) in second and Jessica Norris of Woodford House in third. Wall then joined up with Wilson, Connelly-Whyte and Biggs to take out first spot in the girls’ under-18 coxed quad sculls in a time of 7.29.64. Blustery weather forced a break in racing yesterday afternoon, but finals will continue today and tomorrow.

Lee flying under the radar at Augusta By simon PlumB Shrugging off a mysterious pretournament split with his caddy, Danny Lee says he’s in the form of his life heading into this morn-

ing’s opening round of the Masters. The PGA Tour’s surprise package last season, the name of the 25-year-old is being bandied around Augusta this week as con-

versations turn to dark horses and lucrative long-shots. It’s almost inconceivable territory for a Kiwi golfer, with Lee the first New Zealander to even qualify for Augusta since Michael Campbell in 2010.

With new-found status, Lee must now live up to being a major regular and the calibre of player whose focus is on delivering at the big four events, rather than just trying to qualify. - NZME

The world’s best two golfers met at Augusta National yesterday – with reigning Masters champion Jordan Spieth heaping praise on Lydia Ko for her latest major victory. Spieth, 22, who stormed to last year’s Green Jacket with a history-making performance, had a chance meeting with Ko at the traditional Par 3 contest, held the day before the Masters begins. “Congratulations, again, Lydia. Another major,” Spieth said to the Kiwi. “We were all tuned in last week from Houston. I was watching and we all knew it was going to happen.” - AP

Curse? What curse? Jimmy Walker clearly isn’t one for superstition. He’s taken out the traditional Masters par-3 contest at Augusta, a day out from the tournament proper beginning. Walker shot a course record eightunder 19, including a hole in one on the second hole. There were nine aces in total during the relaxed tune-up, including veteran Gary Player. But no player has even won the par-3 contest and the Masters in the same year. - NZME

Tiger ‘will be back’ Jack Nicklaus says he thinks Tiger Woods will win again. After seeing him a few weeks ago, Nicklaus is surprised Woods isn’t playing the Masters this week. Woods is P H I L O S O P H Y missing the Masters for the second “Grant Hood Contracting Ltd’s time in three years as he recovers philosophy is to provide our clients from two surgeries on his with superior value and aback solution to their contracting needs. last year.

In brief Sopoaga eyes No. 10 Highlanders pivot Lima Sopoaga has revealed what he needs to improve in order to impress the All Black selectors. The runaway success against South Africa last year missed the World Cup squad and is in a quality queue including Aaron Cruden, Beauden Barrett and Damian McKenzie for the test No. 10 jersey. Sopoaga said: “Maybe I could attack the line a little bit more, ball in hand wise ... have a go myself every now and then. I seem to be just shovelling on the ball but when you’ve got so much dangerous talent on your outside it’s hard not to feed the ball and let the boys do the damage.” - NZME

Force up against it Western Force coach Michael Foley is confident his team are on the verge of turning their season around, but he knows they’ll need more than a man in a banana suit to stop the Crusaders tonight. The Force have snared just one win from six this season to fall out of the finals picture again. Foley is adamant his players have kept faith in the new attacking game plan, and he hopes they’ll be rewarded with a win, but it won’t be an easy task. The Crusaders have scored 20 tries in their recent four-match winning run, including six in last week’s 4337 triumph over the Lions. - AAP Hampstead were thumped 57-7 by Glenmark last weekend and face another tough outing against Rolleston tomorrow.

Atonement on the agenda By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury’s senior club sides will be out to right the wrongs of last Saturday’s dismal displays in week three of the Luisetti Seeds Combined Country Competition tomorrow. Rakaia were the only local side to pick up a win in an all-Mid Canterbury affair against Celtic. Sean Carter’s men churned out a 19-13 victory in a largely forgettable clash. Despite the win, assistant coach Wayne Foxcroft insisted that a much improved performance will be required against Oxford tomorrow. Methven were beaten for the

second time in as many weeks last Saturday. The defending champions fell to a 25-17 loss to Rolleston, but did produce a more promising performance than in their 20-13 defeat to West Melton a fortnight ago. Coach Andy Pearce will hope his new-look team can gel for tomorrow’s clash against Kaiapoi, who were dealt a 62-5 hammering by Burn/Duns/Irwell in their last outing. Hampstead suffered the worst defeat of the local senior teams in week two, a 57-7 hiding from a well-drilled Glenmark. Regan Broker’s side were starved of possession and con-

fined to their own 22 for much of the tie. Broker said his players gave their own damning assessment of the poor performance and are determined to make things right in the clash against Rolleston tomorrow. Southern have yet to register a win this season and will have the odds stacked against them when they travel to Waihora this weekend. Waihora handed Hornby a 56-0 mauling in week one before seeing off a defiant Darfield 11-6 a week later, while Southern were beaten by Celtic 35-15 a fortnight ago and Ashley 36-30 last Saturday.

FIXTURES Luisetti Seeds Combined Country Competition week three fixtures: Methven v Kaiapoi, Waihora v Southern, Southbridge v Saracens, Ashley v Prebbleton, Glenmark v Lincoln, Hornby v Celtic, West Melton v Burn/Duns/Irwell, Darfield v Ohoka, Rolleston v Hampstead, Oxford v Rakaia. Senior B Michael Duff Memorial Trophy Competition week two: Allenton Senior B v Hampstead Senior B, Collegiate Senior B v Southern Senior B, Methven Senior B v Celtic Senior B, Mt Somers Senior B v Rakaia Senior B.

Tana’s backs unchanged The Blues will board their bus for Hamilton and their challenging assignment against the Chiefs without injured All Black forwards Patrick Tuipulotu and Jerome Kaino but, on the plus side, Tana Umaga has been able to name an unchanged backline for the first time this season. Umaga, in his first year coaching at this level, has been keen on tinkering with his line-up, particularly his backs, but this week the only changes are injured enforced. - NZME

Slipper starts for Reds Captain James Slipper has been named to start for the Queensland Reds for the first time this season when they host defending champions the Highlanders tomorrow. Wallabies prop Slipper, who had surgery on his shoulder in the off-season, made his season debut for the Reds off the bench in their loss to the Waratahs before last weekend’s bye. “He’s worked hard to get himself back and was very pleased to get some minutes against the Waratahs,” co-coach Matt O’Connor said. “James will offer plenty on Saturday.” - AAP

Wakanui Black will play host to Cambridge at the Ashburton turf tomorrow, while Wakanui Blue have the bye. Both Wakanui sides fell to losses in their opening ties last weekend. Black were downed 5-4 by

Oamaru’s Tainui in Timaru and Blue were dealt a severe 9-0 hiding by Cambridge. Wakanui Black skipper Mitch Moore credited Tainui for their performance last Saturday, but insisted there were positives to be taken from the narrow loss. “They (Tainui) probably deserved the win,” he said.

“Sam Bennett’s drag flick goals probably kept us in the match and Ryan Carr made some good saves.” Moore will have more options with players set to return for tomorrow’s clash, but is expecting a tough challenge against a Cambridge side that boasts plenty of attacking flair.

“A win would be nice, but it will be a tough ask against Cambridge,” he said. “They will be the team to watch in this season’s competition, I think.” Tomorrow’s men’s division one fixture: Wakanui Black v Cambridge, Ashburton Hockey Turf, 4pm.

Far from heading to France after Rio, Sonny Bill Williams will be fast-tracked into the All Blacks and is expected to be available for most of the Rugby Championship and tour to the US and Europe. Speculation is rife about what Williams intends doing after Rio, with the most recent reports suggesting he will sign a shortterm deal with Toulon before returning to make himself eligible to play against the Lions. But Williams, under contract with New Zealand Rugby until the end of this year, has been elevated to the All Blacks leadership group on the basis he will commit to the national team once his obligations to sevens end in mid-August. - NZME

In brief

■ EQUESTRIAN

College riders in top form Ashburton College’s equestrians put in a sterling effort at the recent Inter-Schools Dressage Competition at McLeans Island. The college contingent improved significantly on last year’s 15th placing to finish eighth out of 25 entries. For the first time in recent memory College fielded two teams to compete against 23 others from schools from across the Canterbury region. A last minute training session with local coach Debbie Nelson helped riders iron out a few issues in readiness to put in their best efforts. On the day it was Brittany Fowler and her flashy horse Concordia that scored the highest in the Novice level tests - the pair went on to place fourth and first. Not to be outdone, Jaimee Bird, who is perhaps better known for flying round the jumps, proved her worth in the dressage arena. Bird rode two fluent and re-

laxed tests to score consistently high marks. Natasha Waddell, on the delightful Uptown Charlie Brown, made a fine transition from the show ring to complete two well ridden tests and Hamish Kerr, on LJ Sundance, were the quiet achievers of the team as both posted worthy scores and kept the team in the running. The College’s second team made up of Amy Davidson, Charlotte Waddell, Harriet Stock and Megan Harrison also registered consistent scores – all improving as the day progressed and are keen to return to the competition next year.

Sprinters off to Rio New Zealand have named just four sprinters for the Rio Olympics, but with more to follow. To no surprise, the world champion team sprint trio of Sam Webster, Eddie Dawkins and Ethan Mitchell have been confirmed for the August Games, along with leading women’s sprinter Natasha Hansen. However the remainder of the sprint group will be named after Cycling New Zealand have worked out permutations to have their best chances in individual events such as the keirin and sprint. - NZME

Magic missing top pair The Magic will be without two of their most experienced stars for their second-round ANZ Championionship clash against the NSW Swifts this weekend. English import Jo Harten will captain the side this weekend, with Silver Ferns Leana de Bruin and Grace Rasmussen unable to make the trip across the Tasman due to injury. The loss of the pair comes at an inopportune time for the Waikato-Bay of Plenty team, with the side needing all the firepower they can muster against the impressive Swifts lineup, which features former Magic captain Laura Langman. - NZME

Wolfsburg rocks Real Wolfsburg battled its way to a shock 2-0 victory over 10-time winner Real Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final yesterday. Playing in its first quarter-final in the competition, Wolfsburg outmuscled the Spanish giant and gave itself a good chance to make the last four. In the other clash Manchester City claimed a vital edge over Paris St Germain after grabbing two away goals in a 2-2 draw. - Reuters

Rangers mean business Rangers need to sign four or five players to be competitive in their first season back in the Scottish Premiership but will not repeat the mistakes of the past and spend money they have not got, manager Mark Warburton said yesterday. Rangers, 54-times champions of Scotland, won promotion back to the top flight on Wednesday when they beat Dumbarton 1-0 at Ibrox to clinch the Championship (second tier) title and the one automatic promotion berth, ending their fouryear exile from the elite. - Reuters

■ NETBALL

First silverware of the season goes to Celtic Celtic A downed Ashburton College A in a convincing 33-14 victory in the opening week of the ACL Premier Grade netball season at the EA Networks Centre Stadium yesterday evening.

Ange Leadley’s side led throughout the match, taking a 9-2 advantage at the end of the first quarter before extending their lead to a commanding 16-5 at half time.

Celtic piled on more points in the third quarter with some slick attacking play for a 26-9 lead after 45 minutes. College were more resilient in the final stanza but it was too lit-

tle too late as the greens took an opening night win and the Premier Grade Challenge Cup. See Saturday’s Guardian for a full report of the first round of premier netball.

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has been given assurances over his future at the club according to Dutch paper De Telegraaf. He has one year left to run on a three-year contract signed when he succeeded David Moyes in 2014, but has faced scrutiny this season for several disappointing performances and results. United are currently fifth in the Premier League table with 53 points, 16 behind the pace of leaders Leicester. - AP

UEFA offices raided Swiss police raided the headquarters of the European soccer body UEFA yesterday to gather information about a contract signed by new FIFA boss Gianni Infantino that was reported in the Panama Papers. The Swiss attorney-general’s office said the search was part of “ongoing criminal proceedings”.

Roosters facing uncharted territory By Steve Zemek A lot of words have been used to describe the Sydney Roosters’ fall from grace, but exciting is a new one. That’s how coach Trent Robinson says he’s finding the challenge of digging his side out of their predicament after their worst start – 0-5 – to an NRL season in 50 years. Robinson finds himself in uncharted territory having presided over a period of sustained success since taking over in 2013 in his first stint as an NRL head coach. While he’s careful to avoid phrases like “must-win”, he doesn’t hide from the magnitude of tonight’s clash with local rivals South Sydney at ANZ Stadium. When he took over the reins from Brian Smith, the Roosters had finished 13th the year before however he quickly transformed the club into a powerhouse, winning a title and three straight minor premierships. Up until the end of last season Robinson had the all-time best winning percentage of any coach with over 50 games experience. But now, Robinson finds himself back at square one, having to rebuild following the loss of Michael Jennings, James Maloney and Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, with those efforts hampered by the absence of key players Jared Waerea-Hargreaves (injury) and Mitchell Pearce (suspension). “People have seen me the last three years and before that I had my challenges that set you up for these types of times in your coaching career,” Robinson said. “It’s exciting, as well. “You want to win games but you want to build the best out of your players. That’s where we’re at at the moment.” Rabbitohs halfback Adam Reynolds is an outside chance to return from a broken jaw while Michael Maguire’s side grew an inch taller with Sam Burgess back in the line up in their 16-12 win over Manly last week. The Roosters must not only dust themselves off after their golden point loss to the Warriors last week, but try to set aside memories of the 42-10 hiding handed to them by the Bunnies in their season opener. Asked how hard it had been to lift to troops from the canvas, Robinson said:

The Roosters were an unhappy bunch after losing to the Warriors. “It hasn’t been that hard actually. “It’s been good. There’s different ways to take it and we’re a fairly tight bunch of guys.” * South Sydney has been the best firsthalf team this season, scoring 72 points, whilst the Roosters have conceded the equal most (78) in this period. * Three of the Roosters’ five losses this season have been by 4 points or less. * The Roosters have conceded an equal league-high 28 tries this season along with the Knights. Meanwhile Canberra winger Jordan Rapana is confident he has enough brake horsepower to stop Parramatta’s SemiTrailer in his tracks. Semi Radradra has been at his damaging best for the Eels so far this NRL season, scoring two tries and averaging 137 running metres a game after five rounds. The Fijian flyer – tipped to make his Kangaroos debut later this year – has developed a formidable partnership with Michael Jennings. The pair will line up against Rapana and centre Joey Leilua when the third-placed Raiders play the Eels in Saturday’s clash at Pirtek Stadium. Radradra scored a double the last time the two sides met in last year’s final regular season round, which the Raiders won 2824 win in golden point extra time. But Rapana is confident there’ll be no repeat. “I’m confident I’ll be able to keep him try-less, hopefully, he said. “We’ve done the training and I’ve put in hard work this pre-season.” - AAP

Fast Four back on the court early lead against Tony Brosnahan, falling to a 3-4, 0-4 loss. TKJ took the overall tie by two matches to one. The third fixture of the evening saw a new team, Last Resort, taking on the Racqueteers. Larissa Allan, who made her Fast Fours debut, saw off the challenge of Matt Wong 4-2, 4-2, while Racqueteers’ captain Dan Copland squared the ledger against Dianna Leonard by a similar score line. In the deciding doubles, Copland and Wong took the first set 4-2, then at 3-3 in the second set, the tiebreak was locked at four points all, with Allan to serve on this match point to the Racqueteers. Her nerve held, and Last Resort won the sudden death point to win the second set before winning the final set and the overall fixture 2-1.

Six teams are competing for the spoils, with ConAid leading the way early on. They were matched against MatJade, with Aidan Mitchell beating Mathieu Lucas in straight sets, and Connor Brosnahan only allowing little sister Jade a single game in their match. The doubles also went to ConAid in straight sets. Scruff & Co started well in the doubles against TKJ, winning 4-1, 4-2, but this gave no indication of what was to follow.

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Go at the project with a mix of two parts logic and one part intuition. Why so heavy on the logic? Well, you don’t want to discount your inner knowing, but you need to test and measure extra carefully on this one. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): You’re kind to the one who is kind to you, and also to the one who is not. This is further proof (if you needed it) that kindness is who you are, and not the means to an end. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Your optimism, based on nothing at all, is nonetheless wholehearted. This is the best kind of optimism you could have today, and you will be richly rewarded for your faith. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Just because you hold a certain belief for many years, that does not make it true. But because this belief has been with you so long it will take some time to fall out of the rotation. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Keep the receipts, because there’s a good chance there will be returns later. This isn’t about making mistakes; it is about getting closer to the very specific answer to your problem. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): A feeling about a special relationship will come over you this weekend. It may even seem to you that the whole universe exists just to bring this magic combination together. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): It’s not your imagination. You are being tested, and even scored in some way. When you do well, you’ll be let deeper into a situation. This is where all the gold is, by the way. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Irritants can come in many forms: perfumes, pollen, people. Ultimately, it doesn’t matter what or who is to blame. You have to rise above the irritant. Tolerance will set you free. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Your physical sensations are important, but not overly so. Be careful not to magnify their impact on the situation at hand. You’ll make gains by being tough, able and focused on the bigger picture. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Worry is positive if it causes you to make an action plan. Mistakes can be positive, too, and so can arguments. Forward momentum will be caused by disruption. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): There is more around to cause alarm than harm. Resolve not to let yourself get so apprehensive that it keeps you from the excitement of exploring exciting new avenues. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): The grass grows all by itself. Good! You appreciate this landscaping development, but you also know better than to waste your precious energy focusing on what is out of your control.

Edmund Fordyce and Richard Turpie have been crowned 2016 New Zealand Secondary Schools’ Golf Croquet Champions. The duo went one better than last year’s second place finish, but had their work cut out in a highly competitive final against fellow Mount Hutt students Kaleb Small and Christopher Spittal in Nelson. Fifteen teams participated from as far as Kerikeri High School in the north to Timaru Boys’ High School in the south. The competition was organised into two seeded pools, in which teams played a round robin of 13 point games.

Fordyce and Turpie proceeded through pool play undefeated, conceding only eight hoops over seven games. Their semi-final opponents were the formidable New Plymouth Girls’ High School pairing of Grace Mohi and Alex Bennett, but the Mount Hutt duo won the best of three matches 7-3, 7-2. The score may not have given credit to the fine efforts of Mohi and Bennett, but the boys played tactically and with patience to utilise the positions of the balls to their advantage. On the opposite side of the draw, Mount Hutt College had two more teams in ac-

National champs

tion. Sam Wright and Jakob Smith played strongly to finish third equal in the plate section of the finals. Wright and Smith were the only team in their pool to defeat the New Plymouth Girls’ High School team, but Kaleb Small and Christopher Spittal finished top of the pile, playing strongly against defending champions Waiopehu College to win 7-5. Small and Spittal faced old rivals Timaru Boys’ High School in their semi-final match, meaning South Canterbury croquet provided three of the four semi-finalists. In a tense, closely fought match, the

Mount Hutt team held their nerve to take a 7-5, 5-7, 7-5 victory. Fordyce and Turpie then squared off against Small and Spittal in an all-Mount Hutt final. Both teams displayed sharp, tactical thinking in clearing shots, jump shots and hoop running. Fordyce and Turpie eventually pulled through with a final score of 7-6, 5-7, 7-3, from a tightly contested tie. The victory will put 15-year-old Fordyce in good stead for the world championships, which will be held in Florida from April 16.

The recent New Zealand Secondary Schools’ Golf Croquet Championships resulted in an all-Mount Hutt College ﬁnal.
