Chertsey targets speeders

By Sue Newman Chertsey residents are applauding the courage of the mystery resident who erected a warning sign on Chertsey Line Road but when it comes to taking credit for that sign, they’re all diving for cover.

And diving for cover is what speeding motorists might be doing if the warning sign’s owner lives up to the inherent threat – slow down or you’ll be splattered by a paintball.

South bound State Highway One traffic is being diverted down the side road while drainage and improvement work is carried out on the highway. North-bound traffic can still use the main road and the diversion is generally removed between 5pm and 8am.

But it’s not the diversion that’s the problem Chertsey residents say, it’s the motorists who are opting to use Chertsey Line Road

as a race track. After the diversion is removed traffic still continues to use the side road as a way to beat traffic sticking to the highway says resident Helen Spicer.

“Long after it’s finished they’re flying down here at 100 k, they’re all turning off now so they can beat the road works and beat the rest of the traffic.”

Instead of a quiet side road, Chertsey Line Road had become the default highway with motorists travelling at highway speeds.

The origins of the paintball sign were a mystery, she said, but if it had the desired effect of slowing traffic it was a winner, she said.

Jenny Jamison says she doesn’t know where the sign came from and doesn’t know of any paintballers in Chertsey.

“But since the sign went up, it’s amazing how many people slow down. They’re slowing to read the sign but at least they’re slowing down.”

Ashburton College deputy principal Grant Congdon’s office underwent a slight renovation yesterday as Year 13 leavers made the most of their final day at school.

Year 13s get up to some hi-jinks on final day

If the speed sign doesn’t slow traffic then motorists using the State Highway One diversion on to Chertsey Line Road should take heed that paintball gun toting residents might.

If Ashburton College deputy principal Grant Congdon was after a bit of light reading yesterday – he got more than he bargained for.

His office was blanketed with pages of newspaper by Year 13 leavers, and it was not just the walls that received attention – Mr Congdon’s pens, coffee mug and even the trash in his rubbish bin were wrapped too.

His office renovation was part of the traditional Year 13 antics as their schooldays came to an end yesterday.

Mr Congdon’s Year 13 daughter Amy was the mastermind behind the wallpaper stunt.

She and eight other pupils, with a bit of assistance from principal Grant McMillan, broke into his office before school started and executed the plan.

“I just figured we had to repay him for a year of torment,” Amy said.

The pupils moved the teachers from check into checkmate with another one of their “missions” yesterday, turning the chessboard into a makeshift car park.

Head boy George McDonald and fellow pupil Andrew Robertson put their heads together, wanting to do

something humorous but not too outrageous.

“We were thinking about chaining the gates shut, but we thought we better keep it PC enough so it could be done,” George said.

To add to the confusion, the leavers swapped uniforms as part of a tradition that has evolved over the past four years.

Although the mischief was exciting for the pupils, the reality was it was their last time they would be able to share those special moments within the school grounds, as many of them plan to move to the big cities for tertiary education.

“It’s sad leaving your form teachers because we have had them for five years and this is now our last day with them,” head girl Sam McLay said.

Alasdair Tarry said it was a scary thought stepping into the unknown, coming from such a safe environment at college.

It is not quite over for the leavers just yet, the final, and biggest, hurdle of their school days start today with NCEA examinations.

The pupils said they were planning to make the most of the valuable time they had left.

Top prize a long time coming

By Myles Hume For Toni Wilson it has been a somewhat different rise to the top.

Throughout her schooling life she has always been so close, so often falling just short of taking the top award.

But last night it was finally her turn.

The Mt Hutt College pupil took out the dux award at her school’s senior prizegiving last night, fulfilling a dream that she has worked so hard for.

Strenuous hours of work have led to her taking out the college’s top academic award, where she was able to claim her first ever major prize, so often being there but not quite.

“I never win things like this, I have

never been at the top but have always been near there,” the 17-year-old said.

Toni received a rousing round of applause when she was announced as dux and fellow pupils were quick to show their praise.

One after another they lined up to congratulate her with an award that was obviously so highly respected by her peers.

“This is weird, I don’t really get things like this.”

However, that was not the view of fellow year 13 pupils.

Comments like; “I told you so” and “I knew you would get it” flowed her way as she sat speechless, still getting used to the idea as being the 2012 dux of her school.

Her proud father took a moment to hug her, and told his daughter how proud he was through a few shed tears.

“She worked so bloody hard for this,” he said.

So what was her secret?

“I just worked hard at home and really focused in class,” she said.

An hour each night of revision also seemed to do the trick, and as Toni moves into her NCEA examinations next week she is hoping all the hard work and expectations will come through when her results arrive in January.

She said she would be looking to captialise on her three strongest subjects in accounting, history and maths.

“I have been studying hard and I’m

feeling confident that it will all come together,” she said.

Moving out of secondary school and making another leap towards the real world, Toni is excited about moving to Wellington’s Victoria University from her humble Methven beginnings to take up a Bachelor in Commerce.

“I want to hopefully get into accounting because it involves numbers and it is one of my strongest subjects.”

SI alliance a done deal

By Sue Newman The signatures might not be on the paper yet, but the South Island Strategic Alliance is a done deal.

The alliance of 22 of the South Island’s 23 territorial local authorities, has been formed to provide a strong lobby voice to Government on issues that are common across all councils. The only council to have

signalled it wants to remain outside the alliance is the Chatham Islands.

At a meeting of South Island local authorities in Christchurch on Wednesday, Ashburton mayor Angus McKay said 12 of councils put their hands up, saying they were ready to proceed and the remainder indicated they had no objections to the alliance.

“Some of us just got on the ball a bit quicker than others. We passed

the statement of intent and while it’s not signed yet we have a de facto agreement to proceed and that statement will be signed as an official document.”

Number one on the lobby list are South Island roads and the share of roading funds allocated to local authorities, with drinking water as number two.

The New Zealand Transport Agency is already preparing a South Island

roading report but Environment Canterbury commissioner Dame Margaret Bazley has committed ECan to preparing a second report, focusing on freight movement, Mr McKay said.

“The focus will be there because freight is causing major problems with heavier loads from higher production coming off farms.”

He anticipates the alliance will be taking a look at the two reports by

April. “With those reports in our hands we’ll be able to talk with whoever we need to talk with to ensure we get a fair deal for the South Island. This agreement, however, is about more than roads, it signals that the South Island’s local authorities are prepared to work together.”

That did not mean the 23 local authorities would work as one on all issues; local decisions would still be made on local issues, Mr McKay said.

Muddi’s on way to becoming a rescuer

By Susan Sandys Muddi the collie cross was destined to be put down before his owner saved him and turned him into a talented trainee avalanche rescue dog.

Methven veterinarian Catherine Hughes was working as a locum at a Christchurch practice last November when a Christchurch family brought the one-year-old canine in to be euthanised. As a busy working family they did not have time to deal with his “separation anxiety”, in the form of him barking all day while they were out.

Dr Hughes was taken by his nice nature, good looks and athletic ability.

“He was my kind of dog,” she said.

She had initially thought someone in the agility circuit might want him, but found no takers, people being put off by his barking habit.

In June she was thrilled when she went along to an avalanche rescue training exercise and one of the assessors told her he thought Muddi had potential. Dr Hughes came to

realise Muddi’s barking habit when he was left alone was not so much due to separation anxiety, but to having a low boredom threshold.

“That’s the kind of thing you actually want, you want a very high play drive,” she said.

“You see him with a ball or a toy, he just doesn’t give up, he’s very gentle with people and other dogs, he’s good.”

His long and lean shape also meant he was fast when it came to running over snow.

This winter Muddi got firsthand experience in training exercises with other Methven avalanche rescue dogs, and in September he was officially accepted as a trainee.

Fellow Methven avalanche rescue dog Indy did well in assessments at the same time, moving from trainee to novice status.

Indy’s owner, Mt Hutt Ski Area fleet maintenance coordinator Rob Teasdale, is aiming for her to achieve operational status at assessments next year, meaning she will be able to help out his other dog, fellow golden labrador Ben, during searches.

Ben and his fellow Mt

Hutt-based operational avalanche rescue dogs Ernie and Ayla, owned by ski patrollers Courtney Wiedel and Dan Kennedy respectfully, had a busy winter of training exercises and a couple of callouts.

Mr Teasdale said during the ski season there were two avalanches on Mt Hutt outside of the ski area boundary. The procedure with such events involved undertaking a transceiver search, a visual search and “clearing” the area with the dogs.

“We can use the dogs to give us that extra level of assurance that there’s nobody on the search site,” Mr Teasdale said.

And now that it is summer, that does not mean time off for Muddi and Indy, who will be doing plenty of off-snow training in the form of hideand-seek games, in their quest to ultimately become operational. And as for Ben, Ernie and Ayla, they could be called out at any time.

The risk of people being caught in avalanches does not go away in summer, with plenty of recreationalists in the high country.

• Helicopter down One person is believed to have died in a helicopter crash near Wanaka last evening. An owner of the farm where the helicopter crashed said one person had been found dead at the scene. It was not known if any one else was on board.

Inspector Alan Weston of police southern communications said they received a report of a crash at 8.30pm and sent emergency services to the area to search for the aircraft. Police near the scene of the crash said there was at least one person on board at the time of the crash.

Two helicopters with flashlights circled the crash site on the Pisa Range, near Wanaka, last evening. A medic, and fire officer and two or three land search and rescue staff were on board. Police said a witness had seen the helicopter drop out of the sky after its rotor stopped.

Firefighters were called to a property just before 11am and found a fire burning close to an abandoned house. Police said the Ashburton man had been charged with arson. No attempt was made to set fire to the house, police said.

Ashburton will play host to a special event on Saturday, when the district’s Indian community celebrates Diwali, the Festival of Light. Diwali is traditionally held on the northern hemisphere’s darkest night of the year and signals the beginning of the Indian calendar year. It’s about bringing light into people’s lives. Event organiser Binesh Shukul said the spiritual meaning of the event was about forgiving the bad things of the past year and taking happiness and love into the year ahead. “It brings light into people’s hearts,” he said.

Diwali will be celebrated at the Balmoral Hall from 6pm to 10pm Guest of honour will be Rangitata MP Jo Goodhew.

NCEA exams kick-off today Young dairy farmers take top awards

By Myles Hume As senior secondary school pupils enter the biggest phase of their schooling life, principals are warning teenagers to capitalise at such a pivotal stage.

More than 143,000 pupils, about 1000 of those from Mid Canterbury, will sit NCEA examinations throughout the country starting with Level 1 Drama today.

Preparation has been the only thing on pupils’ minds for the past two months and over a three week span all those hours of swatting and stressing will be put to the test.

Ashburton College principal Grant McMillan wanted to tell his pupils it was a huge opportunity in their lives, but it was one that was often not seen until several years down the track.

“I think (underestimating) the importance of the qualifications is a youth thing and not just a student thing,” Mr McMillan said.

“Make sure that you achieve your qualifications, otherwise

there is little point being here.”

University entrance and employment hinged off NCEA results and Mr McMillan pointed that out to his pupils at the Year 12 Prizegiving on Tuesday night.

“Do not fool yourself that you can mess around today and study tomorrow. You will only ever regret that decision,” Mr McMillan said.

New Zealand’s biggest examination is on Monday as 46,000 year 11 pupils look to tackle level 1 English, with about 300 of those sitting in Mid Canterbury.

Mt Hutt College principal John Schreurs wanted to warn pupils that leaving things to the last minute, whether it be study or arriving for an exam, could lock up the full potential.

“Make sure you turn up earlier than on time,” he said.

“It’s about relaxing into it and if you are rushing it is going to take you 15 minutes or so to settle.”

He told his pupils to relish the challenge and make the exams a priority until they end on December 4.

Last year 75 per cent of

CHECKLIST Have an early night Don’t forget your exam entry slip Relax before the exam Arrive 20 minutes early Do the questions you know first Attempt every question Check over the exam twice when finished 18-year-old school leavers passed NCEA level 2 or above in the Rangitata district, but local MP Jo Goodhew wanted to challenge this year’s pupils to aim higher, hoping to have another 90 pupils pass the standard.

“It is a critical time for school communities to support their students. Parents, boards, principals and teachers will be working together to help their students achieve,” Mrs Goodhew said.

Male dance partners needed

By Susan Sandys Wanted: Men, approaching their twilight years, who like to twirl on the dance floor.

That is the call that has gone out to Ashburton males, to no avail.

Sequence dancer Helen said she and three of her female dancing friends were on the lookout for blokes who wanted to pair up with them on their dancing nights.

They were members of an Ashburton dance group, and danced two nights per week, at the Rangitata Hall and the Ashburton Pipe Band Hall.

CRUMB

She advertised late last month, but had had no response.

Helen said sequence dancing, a form of ballroom dancing, was an enjoyable past time, but she and her friends were tired of borrowing their fellow dancers’ male partners.

“We are not wallflowers,” she said.

“Some ladies have managed to find partners. It would be nice to have a partner to come dancing with and nothing more.”

Helen wanted to make it clear that for any married women thinking of lending out their husbands, there would be no

designs made upon them.

“No way, none of us are interested,” she said.

The group were aged 60 plus, and some were themselves married, but had husbands who were not interested in dancing.

Helen, 74, said she had gone back to dancing in recent years as she had loved it when she was younger.

“In my day everybody danced.

Each weekend we would go to a different place and go dancing, and it was just a way of life,” she said.

Any males who are interested can phone Helen on 0210740819.

Young dairy farmers dominated the Mid Canterbury AgITO AgriAwards last night, taking out top prizes for their performance in the classroom and on the farm.

There are around 340 people in training in the district at the moment, taking agricultural courses to make them better farmers.

The outstanding junior trainee was Barend Lensley, of Longbeach Dairies, who has only been dairy farming for 10 months. Russ Young was the outstanding senior trainee; he has spent three seasons on a dairy farm and is look-

ing towards farm management.

The excellence in agribusiness management award went to Kirstin Morgan, who judges said was a diligent trainee, determined to succeed.

The outstanding modern apprentice award went to Kimberly Wright, who works for Warren and Suzanne Harris at Hinds. The former townie is into her third year of agricultural study and once “knew nothing about farming”.

She also won an eight-day Berwick outdoor experience, where groups of young people are challenged and encouraged to learn more about their phys-

ical and mental abilities.

AgITO regional chief Kevin Scannell said Mid Canterbury continued to grow and dominate in agricultural prowess, and was the envy of other regions. Its culture of training was also recognised, with so many farm employers willing to give their time to train and support new workers.

National CEO Kevin Bryant said the agricultural trainees would advance 30 per cent faster in their chosen industry than those not on a study path.

“You are ahead of the game.

Everyone who is not doing what

you are doing will, over time, struggle to get roles you are going to get,” he told around 100 trainees and their supporters last night.

Guest speakers were national sharemilker of the year Enda and Sarah Hawe, who were lower order sharemilkers in Mid Canterbury when they won the big Dairy Industry Award. They are now 50 per cent sharemilkers on a dairy farm at Oxford.

Mr Hawe said studying agriculture and taking as many courses as he could, including those run by AgITO, had set the scene for their success.

Synlait Farms SI Farmer of the Year Canterbury-based dairy enterprise Synlait Farms clinched the Lincoln University Foundation’s South Island Farmer of the Year competition for 2012 last with an entry that judges hailed as a prime example of New Zealand’s leadership role in innovative and entrepreneurial agricultural

practice. Ashburton farmers Deane and Joanne Taylor, who run a specialist mixed arable property supplemented by dairy grazing, store lambs and breeding ewes, were judged both runners-up and winners of the best presentation of the night at the finals, held at Lincoln University.

The other finalists were Gavin Loxton with Sue Allan from Sawdon Station near Lake Tekapo, and Andy and Kate Chapman from up the Rakaia Gorge.

Chief Judge Bob Simpson said that all four finalists demonstrated leadership, excellence and innovation.

“Any of the finalists could have won,” Mr Simpson said.

“But in the finish it was Synlait’s blend of family-based traditional farming practices, with the very best of modern corporate innovation and management systems, that saw this multi-farm company stand out.”

‘It’s hard, but you make do and get on’ It doesn’t come much tougher than looking at a life where your weekly income inches just over $200.

But if you’re widowed and you’re under 65, unless you’re working, then you’ll know exactly what it’s like to walk in Yvonne Lister’s shoes.

“I’m lucky, I’ve just had benefit rise – now I have $213.49 a week to live on, but I had to be made redundant from the small job I had to get that,” she said.

In spite of living on what some people would call their weekly discretionary spending, Yvonne is happy. You budget well and stick to that budget, she says.

“I add up all my monthly outgoings, divide it by four and that’s what I’ve got to live on. I’ve got no options, but it’s amazing what you can make do with.

You shop around for the best bargains.”

She’s two and a half years shy of getting the pension. When that day arrives, the $100 plus boost to her income will be like winning Lotto, she said.

“You don’t ask to become a widow and it is really, really hard. A person in my position is the same as a single person on a pension. We don’t get things like living alone allowance but we still have the same standard costs.”

Yvonne and husband John never expected to have a wealthy retirement, but the small nest egg they had salted away disappeared over the months he was ill and unable to work. Add to that funeral expenses and solicitor’s bills and she was left looking at life as a widow with an empty bank account.

That was seven years ago and since then Yvonne has worked when she could but each time she found a job she had to balance the value of earning against the loss of her benefit.

“On a widow’s benefit you can earn no more than $100 gross. Between $101 and $200 they take 30 cents in every dollar of your benefit; over $200 gross they take 70 cents.”

That means only the smallest of parttime jobs or going all out and finding full-time work, Yvonne said.

“The harder you work the more you’re penalised and it’s not easy finding work at my age.”

When it comes to benefits, widows and widowers fall through the cracks, she said.

The Guardian’s series looking at living on a tight budget or a benefit continues today. During the six part series, reporter Sue Newman test drives life on the pension - $348 a week and talks to Ashburton people who know what it’s like to struggle every day to make ends meet. In a life where cash is tight there are no luxuries.

On the

breadline

“It’s not something you ever expect, can ever plan for but it’s not until you’re in this position that you find out how tough it really is.”

She makes ends meet, there’s no choice, but having very little money means you have a lot of down time.

Yvonne is a keen gardener and grows most of her own vegetables, she belongs to a walking group, knits for charity and still mourns the loss of subsidised community education programmes that allowed people in her situation an affordable way of learning new skills.

Making ends meet means a life without frills. Yvonne buys the cheapest cuts of meat, has meatless days at least once a week, buys specials and rarely has treats such as meals out or fish and chips.

She has no health or life insurance and realises that owning a car is quickly becoming a luxury.

Home maintenance is her biggest concern and while she has a relatively new home, she says she’s careful to keep on top of any work and counts herself lucky to be mortgage free. She doesn’t think about getting sick. There’s no point because there’s no money in the budget to cover health issues.

New clothes are an impossibility, but with good second-hand shops in Ashburton it was relatively easy to pick

up good clothes at bargain prices. Yes it would be easy to get down, easy to look at what you don’t have, but there’s no future in that, Yvonne says.

Surviving on very little has a lot to do with attitude, taking advantage of bargains and being open to opportunities to do things that don’t cost money. And it’s about careful planning, she said.

“I don’t yearn for things. I have to be up about this, no point in sitting around moping. We always lived a fairly quiet life. My parents didn’t have a lot of money so I always understood the need to budget. It’s hard, but you make do and you get on.”

She’d like a part-time job, but she says going down that path can also be fraught with headaches in terms of benefit adjustments. And then there’s finding a job, she knows from experience that’s not easy.

“The hardest thing in all of this is the annual review I have to go through to keep my benefit. I have to come up with John’s death certificate and my bank accounts every year and every year they photocopy them. It’s as though they think I’ll have an extra dollar stashed away somewhere.”

Yes, life on a widow’s benefit is tough, but seven years down the track, Yvonne reckons she’s got surviving on very little down to fine art.

Baby leg breaker jail-bound

OUR VIEW

Drink-drivers in firing line

By Doug Laing A Hastings man who broke his daughter’s legs is jail-bound after the Court of Appeal reversed a previous sentence of home detention.

James Robert Hall, 21, who became a dad at the age of 19 when his girlfriend of about three years was 17, has now been sentenced to 2 years and 5 months jail as a result of the rare Solicitor-General appeal against the original sentence of 12 months’ home detention.

The original sentence was imposed by Justice Mary Peters in the High Court at Napier on August 13 and the appeal was heard by three judges in Wellington last

id Canterbury residents can expect a lot higher police presence on rural roads in the coming months.

This is the stern warning from area commander Dave Gaskin, the senior policeman in Mid and South Canterbury after revealing terrible drinkdriving statistics for this district.

Mr Gaskin decided to speak out after Ashburton drivers accounted for 60 per cent of the people caught drink driving in October, which is a new low point, even on an already poor recent history.

Since July, 53 people in Ashburton were over the limit, compared to 48 in Timaru. This sounds like a fairly even split, but considering that the 48,000 people who live in Timaru compared to the 18,000 in Ashburton, the numbers are pretty appalling.

As Mr Gaskin quite rightly points out, the real numbers may be even worse as the police can only guess which percentage slips through their nets on the hundreds of kilometres of rural roads.

New Zealand has some of the worst road deaths statistics in the world, and the rural population contributes significantly to these sad figures.

After a dreadful Labour weekend toll, the number of fatalities this year had reached 236, up 14 from the same time in 2011.

For some reason, many out in the country think they are more bullet proof than other drivers in town and that alcohol does not affect them.

And according to the area

month. A reserved decision was delivered yesterday, upholding the appeal, quashing the original sentence and directing Hall to report to police by 10am on Monday to begin serving his time in jail.

Napier barrister Scott Jefferson, who represented Hall at both the sentencing and the appeal said last night he had spoken with his client during the day but had no instructions to make any comment.

Sensible Sentencing spokesman Garth McVicar said: “We are delighted that the Solicitor-General heeded our call to appeal the original sentence.”

“We hope this ruling sends a strong message to the public and judges that child abuse will not be tolerated in New Zealand,” he said.

Family First NZ director Bob McCoskrie, who had also written to the Solicitor-General urging an appeal, said the organisation welcomed the outcome.

The infant, whose name is suppressed, was born in November 2010, and was living with the teenaged parents in Napier when the assaults came to police attention on March 22 last year.

Hospital staff found multiple fractures, including a possibly older corner fracture to the right upper arm, three separate older fractures of the right thigh bone, a fracture to the left thigh bone with separate corner fractures, an older fracture to the left shin bone, and bruising to the left leg and upper pelvic areas.

Interviewed by police, Hall admitted causing harm to the child and later pleaded guilty to one charge of causing grievous bodily harm on March 20, 2011, with intent to injure, and a charge of causing grievous bodily harm with reckless disregard for his daughter’s safety, representing older injuries.

He admitted angrily bending the infant’s legs up her back as he struggled to cope with parenting, claiming he had not realised the damage he could cause.

While the Crown sought a prison sentence, Justice Peters took into account his admissions and youthfulness before deciding on the maximum possible home detention sentence of one year, which the Solicitor-General appealed on the

commander, rural publicans are not helping the cause and may need to have a good look at themselves.

Far too often they continue to serve their punters, knowing they will be climbing behind the wheel of their utes.

The antiquated attitude that you are just “unlucky” to get caught no longer has any place in our modern society.

The community as a whole, and not just the publicans, share a responsibility to stop intoxicated friends and family getting in their cars to play Russian roulette with their lives.

The Government could and should make a statement by lowering the alcohol limit to 50mg alcohol per 100ml blood but the National Party is unwilling to upset their rural powerbase.

Anecdotal and scientific evidence clearly shows that most people on the current level of 80mg are unable to drive, convincing most Western nations to stick to the 50mg level.

The saddest part of the latest drink-driving statistics is that even the current high alcohol levels are not enough for these busted individuals who must have been well and truly sizzled.

For some reason though, the National-led Government, and obviously many drivers in this district, seem to think that our brains are better equipped to withstand the effects of alcohol than foreign drivers.

As long as they continue to stick their heads in the sand, more rural families will be going to funerals.

Race on to rescue pair in crippled yacht

By Kieran Campbell Rescuers are racing to save a New Zealand woman and a British man stranded on a sinking yacht which rolled in 10-metre seas off Tonga during a perilous journey home to Auckland.

Auckland woman Tania Davies and Australian-based Briton Steve Jones, faced high seas and 75km/h winds aboard their severely damaged yacht Windigo.

“They’re very tired and obviously pretty scared,” senior search and rescue officer Keith Allen of the Rescue Co-ordination Centre (RCC) said late yesterday.

“We’ve spoken to family in the UK and the Auckland region and ... obviously they fear what’s happening but also [feel] relief something is being done.”

The 11.6m vessel was still afloat last night and a freighter and another yacht called in to help were expected to reach Mr Jones, 52, and Ms Davies, 43, about 1am.

The RCC has a Royal New Zealand Air Force Orion on constant watch over the Windigo, which is sinking.

An attempt to rescue the couple was to be attempted at first light today.

Ms Davies and Mr Jones posted on their Facebook page about

The safest place for them is on the yacht if it stays afloat. The chance of a liferaft staying upright in 10-metre seas is pretty slim

being in Tonga late last month and spoke to friends of their plans to travel to Auckland in coming weeks.

“Yippee in Tonga,” they said in a Facebook post on October 16.

On October 31 they posted to a friend: “See you soon in Akl”.

The friend replied: “Safe journey on your final stage”.

’

Yesterday a friend posted on their Facebook page: “Praying for you Steve and Tanya, stay strong xx”.

An emergency beacon on board the Windigo, which left Tonga two days ago, was activated after the yacht rolled about 6.30pm on Wednesday.

Yesterday it remained afloat

about 700km southwest of Tonga, some 1260km northeast of New Zealand, but was being lashed by 75km/h winds.

The first New Zealand aircraft to fly over the yacht made radio contact with the pair early yesterday. They reported they had suffered moderate injuries, including scratches and a back injury.

The Air Force P-3 Orion dropped two liferafts to the yacht but they were blown away in the stormy conditions.

When the Orion returned to New Zealand to refuel, a French navy Guardian aircraft from Noumea flew over the stranded vessel and it was discovered

there was a liferaft on board.

Mr Allen said it would be dangerous for the couple to climb into a liferaft in the conditions expected overnight and the pair would use it only as a last resort.

“The safest place for them is on the yacht if it stays afloat,” he said.

“The chance of a liferaft staying upright in 10-metre seas is pretty slim.”

Mr Allen said rescuers hoped the conditions would ease today and the forecast was for wind speeds to drop significantly.

Other boats in the area were not close enough to help the stranded sailors yesterday.

basis it was manifestly inadequate and “wrong in principle”.

The Court of Appeal Judges, including Justice Graham Lang, a former Crown prosecutor in Napier, accepted the Crown argument that the starting point of three years and three months set by Justice Peters before calculating the actual term was too low, and the 20 per cent deduction she gave recognising Hall’s youth was “overly generous.”

The Crown had argued those features suggested an artificial “tailoring” of the sentence to result in a notional end sentence of two years, a judicial threshhold at which the judge was entitled to consider home detention as a sentence.

A male tried to drag a young boy to a waiting car in an apparent attempted abduction in Christchurch, police say.

Police are appealing for sightings of a red car in the Prebbleton area following the incident on Wednesday.

The boy, a young primary school student, was walking in Elmwood Dr at about 5pm when he was grabbed from behind, Detective Sergeant Craig Farrant

said. It appeared a male, possibly in his teens, attempted to drag the boy down the street towards a waiting vehicle.

“We understand the boy has managed to grab a stick and fight back, and managed to break free and run to his home nearby.

“The alleged offender is reported to have run off.”

Detective Sergeant Farrant said there was no indication of any motivation for the alleged abduction, which appeared to be a one-off incident.

“There have been no other

reported incidents around that area at all. There’s no other evidence at all pointing to this being an ongoing thing or there being a predator on the loose,” he said.

“We do not believe there is any cause for residents to be concerned.

“However we also urge residents to continue to be vigilant, and to report any suspicious activity to police.”

Detective Sergeant Farrant said the alleged offender may be linked to a red, four-door sports

type vehicle.

“We are anxious to hear of any sightings of vehicles or activity in the area around Elmwood Dr and Prebbleton School late [Wednesday] afternoon,” he said.

Police said the boy was not injured in the incident.

Anyone with information is asked to phone Detective Sergeant Farrant at Christchurch Police on 363 7400.

Alternatively, to provide information anonymously phone Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

There are growing fears that a missing Christchurch tramper could have been swept away in a swollen West Coast river about two weeks ago.

Rex Leslie Taylor, 50, a fit and experienced tramper, has not been seen since October 16 when he parked his car at the end of the Totara Valley Road, intending to tramp to the Explorer Hut at the headwaters of the Mikonui River.

His family reported him missing on Tuesday and West Coast search and rescue personnel have scoured the area in extensive ground, air and water searches but have failed to find a single clue to his whereabouts.

Constable Michael Tinnelly said yesterday the missing man left a note in the intentions log book at the Explorer Hut on October 23 saying he expected to be out two days later.

He was now more than two weeks overdue.

“He had two possible ways out, either following the river down or climbing a range to reach a second hut, the Mikonui Bivvy (bivouac), which would again lead back to the river,” Mr Tinnelly said.

“There is nothing in the second hut to indicate he reached it and so far our attempts to locate him elsewhere have proved fruitless.”

Mr Tinnelly said there was a long period of heavy rain and the river would have been running high if Mr Taylor had “come to grief” while trying to cross it.

However, the whitewater rescue squad had searched the 9km to the Mikonui River mouth without finding him.

Mr Taylor is described as a fit and capable tramper who took it upon himself to carry out maintenance on mountain huts.

“It was a bit of a hobby, he didn’t work, just got by on what he had.”

The searches have been extensive.

“We have had a chopper scouring the tops and river, the specialist whitewater kayaking team on the river, and five search groups on foot including three tracker dogs, but have not turned up a thing.

“This morning we again have the chopper up and another four ground crew have gone in without success.

“However, it’s a big area and there are some places that we have not covered with ground crews so we are looking at them.

Sometimes ground crews find things that the fly-overs miss,” Mr Tinnelly said.

Christchurch bar robbed Extra stress holidays by two masked men Two barstaff and four patrons were forced to the ground in a terrifying late night armed robbery in Christchurch.

Two masked gunmen jumped a back wall and entered through the rear of Sideline Bar on Stanmore Road in Richmond between 11pm and about 11.30pm yesterday.

They yelled at those inside to get on the floor, owner Terry McIntyre said.

One of the two female barstaff was then forced to open the safe.

The two gunmen escaped by

jumping back over the wall and made off with a unknown sum of money.

Shaken barstaff rang the pub’s owners and then the police.

First-time pub owners Terry and Sonya McIntyre said they were in bed when they received the call.

“We just jumped straight in the car, I still had on my pyjamas,” said Mrs McIntyre.

They arrived just before eight armed policemen entered the building.

Mrs McIntyre said one of the staff was very distraught.

“We both just feel overwhelmed with guilt that it was the girls and not us,” she said.

The bravery of the two staff members and patrons were commended by Mrs McIntyre.

The McIntyres had owned the pub only for 11 months and had recently spent money on security.

“But when a person has a gun it makes no difference what safety precautions you take,” said Mrs McIntyre.

Stressed Christchurch council office workers will get an extra day’s paid holiday each month but it looks like their colleagues who are helping rebuild the quake-damaged city won’t be getting it.

On Wednesday, it was revealed that city council workers will receive one extra day’s paid holiday each month from now until November next year in in recognition of the pressure they have been under since the big quakes in February 2011, and September 2010.

An estimated 850 people work for city-council owned City Care but spokeswoman Phillipa Webb said: “We will not be granting our

employees extra leave.”

City Care is part of Christchurch City Holdings Ltd, a city council company.

Ms Webb said city council policies did not apply to City Care but the union which represents City Care workers believes that the holiday offer should also cover them.

Amalgamated Workers Union assistant secretary Lindsay Chappell said: “We are currently putting a written request forward for [City Care to give] some consideration to workers. They are the people at the front line.”

Some had worked 24-hour stretches after the quakes, he said.

Truck crash Funding shortfall postpones opening sparks alert

By Sam Morton

A truck that plunged into a central North Island stream early yesterday was not carrying any radioactive substances, according to the Fire Service, but its driver is still missing.

Radiation fears were sparked after the fully-laden B-train truck, marked with a radioactive materials sign, was found in the Waihohonu Stream on State Highway 1 between Waiouru and Turangi.

Emergency services were called to the scene outside the Tongariro National Park boundary at 4.22am.

Fears over the truck’s spilled cargo have forced the closure of the Desert Road and the nearby Rangipo Power Station, while the driver of the truck was yet to be located.

Fire Service northern communications shift manager Jaron Phillips confirmed no radioactive substances were found on the truck.

“We’ve gone through the manifest and the company as well, and it’s confirmed that it was carrying no radioactive substance,” he told APNZ. Mr Phillips said concerns were raised because the entire contents of the truck were in the river.

He said the truck contained aerosol containers and was also believed to contain an environmentally hazardous insecticide called alpha-cypermethrin.

Numerous organisations responded to the incident, including the local council, police, the Fire Service hazardous materials unit and the National Radiation Laboratory.

Police said the safety of people at

the scene and the wider public was paramount.

Turangi volunteer fire crews were replaced earlier yesterday by three crews from Rotorua’s Hazardous Chemical Unit, who remain at the scene.

Chief Fire Officer Tong Kingi said the operation would be a long one, due to the amount of debris.

“There is stuff everywhere. It was a fully laden B-train truck with a soft curtain side. The majority of spilt material is around the truck.”

Mr Kingi said while the Waihohonu Stream is referred to as a stream, it was more like a river and was reasonably fastflowing.

“When we arrived early this morning it was not clear how much debris had fallen into the stream because it was still so dark, but on daylight, we could see quite a bit of material trapped in whirlpools and around rocks in the stream.

“It’s a massive environmental operation,” he said.

Genesis Energy spokesman Richard Gordon said the Rangipo Power Station had been closed as a result of the crash.

The 120 megawatt power station, which generates enough electricity to power about 100,000 homes, turned off its turbines about 7.30am.

“We’re not sure at this stage what material is in the river from the truck crash, and we’re taking a precautionary approach. We’ve got intake screens to stop large things going through into the Rangipo turbines, but we’re not sure what material was on the truck.”

After four years of hard work, determination, countless meetings and fundraisers, the Maniao-roto Scout Den is well on its way – but a further financial push is still required to see the job through.

The project, costing almost $800,000, has so far been erected in prompt fashion, but a funding shortfall of $80,000 is providing a hefty obstacle on the road to completion.

However, despite the minor setback project chairman David Stevens is remaining upbeat and is confident the money can be raised.

“There will certainly be a few more challenges left to face to give us total completion, but we have done really well to get to where we are today.

“We can’t underestimate that, but now we need to go that one final push and give it all we got to get over the line ... without the community support and donations from people, service clubs and charitable organisations to this day, we definitely wouldn’t be this far along - so many thanks have to go their way,” Mr Stevens said.

The building has been built and most of the fittings have been installed, but the finer details such as plumbing, wiring, plastering, flooring and fire systems are yet to be done.

The hope was to host the opening ceremony this weekend, in conjunction with the annual District Scout Rally – however for obvious reasons, this has been unachievable, he said.

“Realistically, when we can see the money getting closer then we will have more of an idea as to when we will open the den.

“But roughly, it would be near-

New Zealand’s unemployment rate unexpectedly rose to a 13-year high as the pool of jobs shrank for a second straight quarter with a flat labour market in Auckland and fewer fulltime staff.

The kiwi dollar tumbled about half a US cent.

The unemployment rate rose half a percentage point to 7.3 per cent in the September quarter, the highest level since June 1999, according to Statistics New Zealand’s household labour force survey. Economists surveyed by Reuters were picking a 0.1 percentage point fall to 6.7 per cent. The number of people

employed fell 0.4 per cent to 2.22 million in its second quarterly decline, while the participation rate was unchanged at 68.4 per cent.

“The unemployment rate has stayed between 6.4 per cent and 6.8 per cent over the past two years, and has now risen for the third quarter in a row,” industry and labour statistics manager Diane Ramsay said in a statement.

The New Zealand dollar dropped to 81.93 US cents after the figures were released, from 82.56 cents immediately before.

New Zealand’s labour market has been struggling to recover from the nation’s deepest recession in two decades, with employers more keen on tak-

ing on part-timers and casual staff than hiring permanent fulltime workers.

Just yesterday, Dynamic Solutions of Christchurch said it would shed 40-60 jobs as it winds down its contract manufacturing business.

Auckland’s unemployment rate rose 1.3 percentage points to 8.6 per cent, with the number of people employed in New Zealand’s biggest city at 691,200, the fewest since June last year.

Fulltime employment shrank 0.8 per cent to 1.7 million while part-timers rose 1.4 per cent to 519,000.

The number of jobless people, which includes people who might not be actively seeking work, rose to 294,900 from 271,200, while underemployment,

which counts people who are part-time but want to work more hours, rose to 113,300 from 109,500.

Workers in professional, scientific, technical, administrative and support services recorded the biggest decline in jobs, falling to 249,400 from 259,300 in the June quarter, while manufacturing shed 6100 jobs to 240,400. The number of people working in construction fell to 166,600 from 171,300.

Total hours worked shrank 0.8 per cent to a seasonally adjusted 73.18 million and were down 2 per cent from a year earlier.

Youths aged 15 to 24 not in employment, education or training (NEET), a target demographic for the government,

rose to 13.4 per cent from 13.1 per cent in the June quarter.

Canterbury’s labour market continued to improve, with the unemployment rate down 5.2 per cent, from 6.5 per cent in the June quarter. Waikato and the Tasman, Nelson, Marlborough, West Coast regions were the only other areas to show a lower jobless rate.

Northland recorded the highest unemployment rate at 10 per cent.

Yesterday’s figures come after the quarterly employment survey showed total filled jobs rose 0.3 per cent to a seasonally adjusted 1.715 million, bolstered by a pick-up in part-time workers and a decline in full-time equivalents to 1.35 million.

Apple shares drop 20% from peak Apple’s stock is falling along with a sell-off in the broader market.

The stock of the world’s most valuable company has now fallen more than 20 per cent from its all-time high of $705.07, hit on September 21. That was the day the latest iPhone went on

sale.

The sell-off comes as Apple readies other new products for sale, including the iPad Mini.

The Cupertino, California, company warned late last month that the costs of making new gadgets would cut into profits in its holiday quarter.

Apple Inc. still has the world’s heftiest market capitalisation at $548 billion. Oil giant Exxon Mobil Corp. is next, at nearly $418 billion.

Apple shares were down 3.5 per cent yesterday. The techheavy Nasdaq composite index was down 2.6 per cent.

7.4 quake kills at least 39 in Guatemala A 7.4-magnitude earthquake rocked Guatemala yesterday, killing at least 39 people as it toppled thick adobe walls, shook huge landslides down on to highways, and sent terrified villagers streaming into the streets of this idyllic mountain town near the border with Mexico. One hundred people were missing, and hundreds were injured.

The quake, which hit in the midst of the work day, caused terror over an unusually wide area, with damage reported in all but one of Guatemala’s 22 states and shaking felt as far away as Mexico City, 960km to the north-west.

San Marcos, where more than 30 homes collapsed, bore the brunt of the temblor’s fury.

More than 300 people, including firefighters, policemen and villagers, tried to dig through a half ton of sand at a quarry in the commercial centre of town in a desperate attempt to rescue seven people believed buried alive. Among those under the sand was a six-year-old boy who had accompanied his grandfather to work.

“I want to see Giovanni! I want to see Giovanni!” the boy’s mother, 42-year-old Francisca Ramirez,

Get him out.” She said the boy’s father had emigrated to the US and there was no way to reach him.

President Otto Perez Molina

flew to San Marcos to view the damage. He said the death toll stood at 39, most of it in this lush mountainous region of 50,000 indigenous farmers and ranchers, many belonging to the Mam

ethnic group.

“One thing is to hear about what happened and another thing entirely is to see it,” Perez told The Associated Press. “As a Guatemalan I feel sad ... to see mothers crying for their lost children.”

The president said the government would pay for the funerals of all victims in the poor region.

Many of the colourful adobe buildings in the centre of San Marcos were either cracked or reduced to rubble, including the police station and the courthouse.

The temblor left a large gash in one of the streets, and hundreds of frightened villagers stood in the open, refusing to go back inside.

Hundreds of people crammed into the hallways of the small town hospital waiting for medical staff to help injured family members, some complaining they were not getting care quickly enough.

Ingrid Lopez, who went to the hospital with a 72-year-old aunt whose legs were crushed by a falling wall, said she had waited hours for an X-ray.

“We ask the president to improve conditions at the hospital,” she said. “There isn’t enough staff.”

The quake, which was 32km

deep, was centred 24kg off the coastal town of Champerico and 160km south-west of Guatemala City. It was the strongest earthquake to hit Guatemala since a 1976 temblor that killed 23,000.

Officials said most of 100 missing were from San Marcos, which is surrounded by lush mountains.

The mainly indigenous inhabitants farm corn and herd cattle, mostly for their own survival.

Hospital officials in San Marcos said they had received 150 injured.

“I’ve been in Guatemala for almost two years and I am used to earthquakes. This was a lot more severe, a lot more shaky,” said Peace Corps volunteer Adam Baker, 27, of Carmel, Indiana, who tweeted a picture of a small landslide behind his house in the nearby state of Quetzaltenango.

“Things fell in my kitchen.”

Perez said more than 2000 soldiers were deployed from a base in San Marcos to help with the disaster. A plane had already made two trips to carry relief teams to the area.

The president urged people to stay put as emergency crews try to reach victims on the few roads not blocked by landslides

or debris. He also encouraged people in the affected areas to stay outside and away from tall buildings.

David de Leon, spokesperson for civil protection, told radio station Emisoras Unidas that officials were working on evacuations and relief. There were four strong aftershocks later.

Perez said 150 people had been evacuated by air from the San Marcos area.

The country’s minister of communications and infrastructure told Emisoras Unidas that landslides had blocked several highways in the west of the country, and it would take at least 24 hours to re-establish transport links to San Marcos.

A spokesman for El Salvador’s Red Cross branch told The Associated Press that the quake had been felt throughout the country, sending people fleeing their homes in the capital, but there had been no immediate reports of injuries or serious damage.

The mayor of Mexico City said no serious damage or injuries were reported in the city, although many people fled their offices and homes during the quake. – AP

States back dope, gay marriage US states have voted to legalise marijuana, allow gay marriage and keep public funding for abortions, in a string of liberal poll decisions accompanying Barack Obama’s re-election.

The moves were decided among more than 170 ballot initiatives and referendums held across the country on Wednesday, as America voted the Democratic president back in for four more years.

Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper, whose state is one of two to legalise marijuana for recreational as well as medicinal purposes, accepted his western state’s vote – albeit with tongue in cheek.

“The voters have spoken and we have to respect their will ... That said, federal law still says marijuana is an illegal drug,” he said, referring to nationwide legislation which conflicts with a number of states’ own laws.

Obama came out in favour of same-sex marriage months before the election pitting him against Republican rival Mitt Romney, who insists that marriage should be reserved for a relationship between a man and a woman.

During his first four-year term Obama had also fulfilled a pledge to repeal the controversial Don’t Ask Don’t Tell law banning openly gay servicemen and women from serving in the US military.

Three states voted Wednesday to legalise same-sex marriage, including Maine – which voted in a referendum against it in 2009, but reversed that decision.

Washington state and Maryland also appeared set to approve the move, which had already been passed by state lawmakers.

Meanwhile three states voted on proposals to legalise marijuana, including for recreational use, going further than a number of states which already allow it for medicinal purposes.

Colorado backed the move, as did Washington, according to CNN citing partial results. Oregon rejected it.

ARIES (Mar 21st Apr 20th) Chatter with one person seems to be going really well. Although this may become something more than a flirty exchange, to get there you need to be factual so don’t let charm and banter get in the way of being true to yourself. Yet this is a time when the more risk-taking side of your nature can flourish. Just try not to be too impulsive.

• Woman torched A New York City man has pleaded guilty to fatally burning an elderly woman inside the elevator of her apartment building. Prosecutors announced yesterday that Jerome Isaac had pleaded guilty to firstdegree murder, arson and torture in the December 2011 death of Deloris Gillespie in Brooklyn. The plea bargain calls a sentence of 50 years in prison. Prosecutors say Isaac attacked the 73-year-old woman because he believed she owed him money. They say he doused her with gasoline, lit her on fire and then threw a firebomb inside the elevator.

Asked by reporters afterwards if he had considered retirement, the bubbly Perth-born artist was resolute. “I equate it with lying down and dying,” Harris said of retiring. “I’ve no interest in stopping what I’m doing because I love it so much. I enjoy getting up early mornings and painting. I enjoy entertaining and meeting people and why would you stop doing all that?”

• Hairy discovery Archaeologists in France have unearthed a rather hairy fossil – a nearly complete skeleton of a mammoth. The bones – thought to belong to a creature that roamed the earth between 200,000 and 50,000 years ago – were discovered by accident during the excavation of an ancient Roman site 50km east of Paris. It may be only the third remains of a long-haired woolly mammoth discovered in France in the last 150 years. Such discoveries are more common in Siberia.

Greek protests get violent before austerity vote Greece’s Parliament passed a crucial austerity bill last night in vote so close that it left the coalition government reeling from dissent.

The bill, which will further slash pensions and salaries, passed 153-128 in the 300-member Parliament.

It came hours after rioters rampaged outside Parliament during an 80,000-strong anti-austerity demonstration, clashing with

police who responded with tear gas, stun grenades and water cannons.

Approval of the cuts and tax increases worth 13.5 billion euros ($17 billion) over two years was a big step for Greek efforts to secure the next installment of its international rescue loans and stave off imminent bankruptcy.

The country’s international creditors have demanded that the bill and the 2013 budget, due to

TAURUS (Apr 21st May 21st) Someone can be very generous to you now, but if they are, chances are that this stems from some kind of past good deed or kindness that you have shown.

However, there is a conflict in the heavens between enjoying things in the here and now and being attuned to protecting your long-term interests. Setting yourself a budget may help.

GEMINI (May 22nd Jun 21st) There is so much good stuff bubbling away in the cosmos but to make the most of this just be conscious of the role of your ruler Mercury. This is helping you in its bright and sparkly link to Uranus but does remain in retrograde. The best way to deal with this is just to double-check that other people have the same understanding of situations as you do.

CANCER (Jun 22nd - Jul 23rd) In essence there is quite a complex skyscape today and to surf this well, try not to over-extend yourself. All of us only have a finite amount of energy and there may be a temptation for you to push yourself a little harder than you need to.

Also, be conscious that providing help to others must be on your terms. Don’t end up feeling used.

be voted on Monday, pass before they consider releasing an already delayed 31.5 billion euro installment from Greece’s 240 billion euro bailout. Without it, Prime Minister Antonis Samaras says Greece will run out of money on November 16.

“Greece made a big decisive and optimistic step today. A step toward recovery,” Samaras said, adding that he was “very happy” with the result.

Development and growth for the country, which faces a sixth year of a deep recession in 2013, will come “only with a lot of work, with co-ordinated action, with investments,” he said.

But the close vote was a major political blow to the three-party coalition government, which holds a total of 176 seats in Parliament. The result shows support for continued austerity three years into Greece’s finan-

cial crisis is dwindling fast. “The government now has very little margin to take measures like this again,” said Dimitris Mardas, associate professor of economics at the University of Thessaloniki.

“But unless it takes various obvious actions like limiting the black economy, addressing tax evasion and improving the country’s investment framework, we may end up needing new measures.”

VIRGO (Aug 24th Sep 23rd) The Moon in your sign today blends well with the Sun. You may find that other people gravitate towards you for your advice and insights. Anything linked to job applications or meeting someone for a business meeting or lunch is also very well placed.

Looking again at the organisation at home could, with a fresh take, throw up a solution to an old problem.

LIBRA (Sep 24th Oct 23rd) Don’t doubt yourself or the validity of your plans. In fact, if one friendship is really sparkling, part of you can wonder if this is for real and will endure. For some months the unpredictability of Uranus has thrown you quite a few curve balls as far as other people’s attitudes are concerned, and that may be why you remain a little cautious.

LEO (Jul 24th - Aug 23rd) You can find yourself making some upbeat plans to socialise for the weekend. Things may be fast-moving and there could be some changes of mind, but if you can get together with the special people or special person in your life and be clear of any distractions, events may turn out to be particularly playful and fun. Festive arrangements can also be discussed.

SCORPIO (Oct 24th - Nov 22nd) You may need to stay eagle-eyed about your everyday expenditure and if someone is late paying you money they owe, then do be persistent. Put in that polite phone call.

Follow it up with an email confirming any promises or pledges that they make to you. All this will help to tighten things up and show that you are not one to be messed with.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23rd - Dec 21st) Considering the Sun continues in the most reflective sector of your solar horoscope and there are four planets all twisting backwards, your situation remains remarkably upbeat. Your links with others can certainly be enhanced because of all the zodiac signs you can be the most openminded. Not everything will flow perfectly but much can delight.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22nd - Jan 20th) Your ruler Saturn remains in support of Mercury. This combination may find you on a mission to delve, discover and grow your understanding.

Someone may also give you some confidential advice. For now you may prefer to let this germinate in your mind but you could be building up a picture of how you want to go forwards on one sensitive issue.

AQUARIUS (Jan 21st - Feb 19th) Your ambitions and responsibilities continue to be to the fore but it needn’t be all work and no play Aquarius, because there is the potential for your natural people skills to help you do well both professionally and socially.

Don’t be fearful of trying out some of your far-sighted ideas. Not all may come off, but some may. If you don’t try, you won’t know.

PISCES (Feb 20th Mar 20th) People in positions of influence are becoming more conscious of what you have to offer. You may even find an older person within the family starts to take a more avid interest in your abilities. Mars is giving you just that little more personal confidence to show that you have got what it takes. Financially, a breakthrough or treat is possible.

Pearce to play at NZ Open Ashburton golfer Daniel Pearce is among the 10 amateurs invited to play in the New Zealand Golf Open at Clearwater later this month.

The eight New Zealanders who will play have earned their places through the various selection criteria, with Pearce earning his place through his North Island Stroke Play win at Lochiel earlier this year.

Pearce will play as a professional, but was an amateur when he earned his spot, the same as fellow Kiwis Ben Campbell and Matthew Perry.

A former New Zealand representative, Pearce has been based in Melbourne this year as he worked towards becoming a professional, a goal he has now achieved.

Earlier this week Pearce was second after the first round of the Asia-Pacific Daniel Pearce amateur golf championship in Thailand but shot an even par in the final round to finish one under total and claim a share of 18th place.

New Zealand No1 Vaughan McCall carded a three under 69 in the final round at the Amata Spring Country Club to finish on a three under total in a share of 14th place.

Two Australian amateur Nathan Holman and Brett Drewitt have been invited by Golf Australia, and the same opportunity is reciprocated for the Australian Open to a New Zealand amateur.

McCall is that player this year.

Fairton relying on experience Last week’s winners trade opponents for the fourth round of Mid Canterbury open A grade tennis tomorrow.

The matchup of the round pits last season’s top two against each other.

Fairton opened their account with a win against Allenton, while Rhys Cromie’s Dorie was tipped over

by Tinwald, albeit on games count back.

Fairton have the experience of Peter Leonard and Phil Crozier as well as Mid Canterbury’s top women Rebecca Robinson in their ranks.

The injection of captain Simon Jordon signalled a strong showing for Tinwald as they toppled Dorie, and Jordon took six games of Rhys Cromie in the first set, a rare feat against a player that hasn’t lost a singles match in well over a year.

Their next opponent is Methven, which will pit Jordan against older brother Jayden Cromie, the captain of the Methven side who were convincingly beaten by competition frontrunner Hampstead.

That win meant Hampstead has hit the front as the only team to be unbeaten after two completed rounds, and are favoured to make it three-fromthree against Allenton, the only team without a win.

Singles, pairs kick off Open

and plenty of superb bowls favoured the young and the Australians, among others. But it left last year’s silver medallists, Alvin Gardiner (skip) and Australian Alan Hilton (composite), out in the cold.

Gardiner and Hilton met last season’s national club championship singles winner Pat Houlahan and his Alexandra clubmate Brent Hickey but were defeated 12-9 by the Central Otago pair. - APNZ

Speedster now a different bowler

By Daniel Richardson Shaun Tait’s days of making predictions about how fast he can bowl are long behind him.

The former Australian test player made a name for himself as a strapping seamer who slung down thunderbolts at express pace - terrorising batsmen around the world in the process - and was once clocked at 161.1kph in a one-dayer against England in 2010.

But after standing down from the longer forms of the game due to injuries in 2011, the 29-yearold now operates exclusively as a Twenty20 gun for hire, which has landed him in Wellington for a twogame stint with the Firebirds in the HRV Cup. The South Australian will debut for Wellington tonight when they host Canterbury at Westpac Stadium, and he ducked away from making any spectacular forecasts about how quick he can bowl now.

“I’m not going to predict anything at all.

“I’ve done it before and you look like a loudmouth and then you come out and bowl powderpuffs and it doesn’t look good.

“So, 130,” he smiled.

Fans will be hoping for something a tad quicker.

The life of a fast bowler can be unforgiving, especially when requested to produce lengthy spells under a blistering-hot sun, but the rise of Twenty20 cricket has given seamers an opportunity to extend their careers with a maximum of four overs in each game.

Tait’s body still takes plenty of punishment during a match, which is obvious when you see his action, and his right elbow has been a

Shaun Tait: no more 160km/h thunderbolts in his arsenal constant source of frustration in recent years.

“There’s always pain,” he said.

“But I’ve got the physio to help me out. You sort of get used to it, I suppose.

“That’s the whole idea of Twenty20, to try to play for as long as I can.

“I had my third surgery on my elbow in July so I don’t want to have too many more surgeries.

“Hopefully I can keep playing T20s and keep bowling throughout the year. It’d be nice to play three or four more years.

“It’s just one of those things where bone keeps growing in there and there are all sorts of different complicated reasons.

“I can’t remember half the reasons. I try not to think about it, to be honest.”

During Tait’s time in the Australian squad he picked up various ailments, including back, shoulder and hamstring complaints, and he also took a break from the game in 2008 due to mental and physical exhaustion.

In between his stints on the sideline he managed to take 23 wickets at the 2007 World Cup as Australia

claimed their third-consecutive title and he also played in the 2011 event.

Tait also turned out in the 2007 and 2010 Twenty20 World Cups.

He finished his international career with 62 wickets from 35 oneday internationals at an average of 23.56 and also snared 28 Twenty20 scalps from 19 appearances at 17.78, and managed only five wickets at the unflattering average of 60.40 in his three tests.

Tait said it was disappointing he couldn’t have played more often for Australia but conceded it was out of his control as injuries took their toll.

“I can’t do too much about it.

“I probably can’t get through too many one-day games or definitely not a test match or a [domestic] Shield game.

“So it’s one of those things I have to deal with. But I was happy with what I did. I played in a couple of World Cups and had a decent record for Australia, so that was OK. “You can’t ask for much more.”

Tait should feel right at home with Wellington as he and fellow shortterm Australian import Cameron Borgas feature until England’s Chris Woakes and Bangladeshi opening batsman Tamim Iqbal arrive for the remainder of the competition.

Aside from Borgas and Tait, wicketkeeper Luke Ronchi and Dane Hutchison previously lived in Australia, although they hold New Zealand passports, while Firebirds coach Jamie Siddons is also an Aussie.

Tait will return to Australia to play for the Adelaide Strikers in the Big Bash after his brief stint with Wellington, while another sojourn to India looms in next year’s IPL where he is on the books of the Rajasthan Royals.

Two competitors take the lead during the swim in the sprint triathlon during last year’s South Island Sports Festival at Lake Hood. The 2012 event is tomorrow.

Sports festival ‘more spectator-friendly’

By Jonathan Leask Athletes from across New Zealand line up on the shores of Lake Hood tomorrow as the South Island Sports festival returns.

The sports festival is five events all rolled into one, with the half ironman being the big gun event, but also a sprint distance triathlon, half marathon, 10km run-walk and a kid’s fun run.

It is the ninth year of a halfironman being held at Lake Hood but just the second under the South Island Sports Festival banner, and the race organiser Daniel McDonald said they had learnt a

Tonga bring a stack of Super Rugby players; Lutui, T-Pole, and Latu supporting try scoring machine Taumalolo up front. Moa will control it from the base, a solid director who can play Northern Hemisphere rugby…pressure through territory. The Azzurri come fresh from the off season but the majority of their heavy hitters are back. Two big packs will collide but with Castrogiovanni and Parisse anchoring Italy their technique and stifling game might quieten the Tongans. Masi's attacking threat out wide will test the opponent fitness, but this will be tighter than the last two 20 plus margins.

Its thirteen years since Fiji last met England and with 16 uncapped players traveling North you’d be stunned if the 0-4 overall record benefits. Admittedly half the squad play overseas, but that alone makes fluency an issue, and they look set to get mauled all day on a likely cold and slow field. The return of Robshaw for England will be accompanied by a huge pack featuring Lawes, Botha and possibly Vunipola. Youngs should deliver too much snipe around the rucks and their youthful line is shaping each outing. They won’t get it easier than this through the Twickenham autumn tests.

The Pumas faded on their home leg in TRC hosting Australia, the week in week out catching up but they should come improved for it. They'll field one of the best back rows in world rugby and will give Wales a nudge at the set piece too. Wales are off the whitewashing in Australia (without Warburton), and the latter and Faletau will have their hands full with the Argentine loosies. Still the return of Roberts will get them over the gain line and at 3-0 since ’07 against Los Pumas it wouldn’t surprise if the deadly finishing of North and Halfpenny allowed them to run away with it in the last quarter.

Although sat on their pants last out in NZ, Ireland will bring plenty of fire up front with their two world class locks and a loose trio that will match SA all the way. Their issue is injuries with all of O'Driscoll, Kearney and Best out. That’s over 200 test caps, but they’ve had the wood here (3-1 the last four), and if Sexton can find some territory from 10 the venue keeps them live. SA are on the build and have been poor in the North recent times. They’ll be without emerging playmaker Goosen along with numerous others. They’ll likely muscle it out ticking the scoreboard by threes but this is no given.

Who’s to say what type of French side will front, but with Dusautoir heading a list of top line absentees they’ve the potential to be a real dud here. The key will be at 8-9-10; Picamoles, Parra and Trinh-Duc all well established. They’ll win the stoppages but off a mediocre Six Nations, you’d want to see them. Australia suddenly have close to the best at the breakdown with Pocock back to join Hooper, the latter absolutely immense in the 18-18 with NZ. Beale is playing a little more considered at pivot, and although they’ll struggle at set piece, you get the feeling they’re beginning to believe again.

The Scots are 0-16 at Murrayfield hosting NZ and up against it here anyway you spin it. They’re missing top liners; Ansbro, Cusiter, R Lamont, and Weir, and while they’ll dig in you’d expect them to fade. NZ are unbeaten through 2012, notwithstanding the draw in Australia last out. Scotland will target the insides and can be effective at that but they usually allow the offloads and the AB outsides will see some space. The cold in Edinburgh will be in play but if the All Blacks have addressed the continuity and discipline that impeded them last out they should have plenty.

Match Day Form An early goal to Adelaide visiting Brisbane saw the host playing around the parked bus for much of it but they failed to find a reply. Coach Vidosic observed; ‘I couldn’t question the effort…fantastic’, but blown chances and ineffective crosses on a huge possession imbalance sees them slip to ninth. Without Fred, Heart went down to 1-2 to WSW. Coach Aloisi refreshingly brushed past Ono’s revenge studs tackle on Hoffman; ‘the ref makes a decision and we move on’, presumably realising you don’t coach in the hope of playing against 10. They went unbeaten against Roar last season.

Newcastle picked up their second loss for the season in Perth, coach van Egmond suggesting; ‘I thought we controlled the game’. They probably stayed it best but this will test their appetite for the road given they lost eight of 14 traveling last season. WSW backed up on their Suncorp victory to get their first at home hosting Heart. They field a hardy defence and a willingness at the one on one. With Hersi, Mooy, Ono and Beauchamp all firing, they’re positioned to take advantage of the relatively quick turnaround from Perth faced by the Jets.

Victory delivered some class last out hosting Phoenix, all of Finkler (returning), Rojas, Traore, and Thompson far too slick for the visitor.

They allowed two late prompting coach Postecoglou to suggest they strayed form the plan; ‘the result was the last thing on my mind’, but you’d choke on that given they bottomed the table prior. Visiting the Mariners without Del Pierro, Sydney blew a couple of chances, got an encouraging outing from Yau, but were pole axed most other areas, 7-2 by the end. They desperately need Bosschaart back but Victory haven’t won here since ’07.

A decent toweling in Melbourne throws some doubt on Phoenix here.

They got a couple in garbage time, including a brilliant strike from Brockie (2), but were endlessly troubled out back and now come from their bogey town (Melbourne), to their bogey opponent (CCM). A combination of youth and experience saw CCM far too good all field hosting Sydney. They haven’t found the issues of some in Wellington. In fact they’re five straight on Phoenix, three of those at the Cake Tin, the best performer in the League there the past two seasons.

Hosting Newcastle, Glory made the sheds 2-1 in front via Ward and McGarry but were out played for much of the second and a little fortunate to get Harold’s late winner. They were without Burns and Smeltz and probably due some luck. They’re third the table and bring a huge recent record over Adelaide, four straight. The latter got up at Suncorp off an early Vidosic free kick and they simply lined up behind the ball through the second. They’re number one on the table, have both quick plays and first touch in them, and can end the visitors two streak over them at Hindmarsh.

great deal from last year’s race.

“It was our first year running the event last year and there were few things we worked out could be done better,” McDonald said.

The marquee event is the half ironman, a 1.9km swim, 90km bike and 21.1km run, with the course having a few changes this year.

“We have moved the transition area which cut 3km off the run and to compensate they run two laps of Lake Hood and a shorter distance along the Ashburton River Trail.

“The changes will make it more spectator friendly as well as making for a smoother race.”

Close to 400 athletes flocked to Lake Hood for last year’s event, and

By Jonathan Leask Two unbeaten teams go head-to-head in Mid Canterbury senior cricket with the Bevan Stroud Challenge Shield back up for grabs on Saturday.

Allenton are the only team with three wins after three rounds of the Pritchard Shield, and put their perfect record up against a Coldstream side coming off the bye with two wins in the first two rounds.

They also put up the Bevan Stroud Shield which they prised off Methven in round one.

Coldstream’s last performance was emphatic, a 180-run shellacking of Lauriston and it is a bowling effort that has the struggling Allenton batsmen a little worried.

“Matt Tait scored a solid 58 last week but other than everyone has been chipping in with bits and pieces innings,” Allenton’s Mitch Stoddart said. “But we have still managed to get enough runs and the bowling attack is performing well.

“We’ll be looking to put up a good batting display but we will be wary of their bowling, especially the likes of Richard Print the way he has been going.”

Methven hasn’t played since they lost the shield, entering the fourth round to host the Tech Sharks with only one game under their belts, and it was a sub-par performance.

After having the bye in week one, the Sharks have started their Pritchard Shield defence in solid standing with back-to-back wins.

However with rivals Allenton already setting the pace the Sharks won’t want to drop a game.

Lauriston’s season looks set to be a mixed bag.

They bounced back from their lowly performance of a fortnight ago with a far more respectable effort against the Tech Sharks, and could even be considered the favourites hosting the winless Tech Stags tomorrow.

Warriors through the pain barrier

By Kris Shannon It has been back to reality for the Warriors this week as the team endured a ‘Mad Monday’ of a different kind.

The players reported for the first day of pre-season training at the start of the week and there has been more grimacing than grinning about being back to work.

Pre-season training is notoriously punishing at the best of times but it is no surprise to learn, after last year’s disastrous NRL campaign, the players have been pushed particularly hard over the past few days.

“Tired and sore,” was how prop Jacob Lillyman described the collective camp.

“Yesterday morning I could barely get out of bed - my calves were that sore.

“That’s what you expect. But they’re certainly not taking it easy on us.”

With a new coaching staff, including a revamped strength and conditioning department, keen to make an impression on the players there were no warm welcomes on Monday morning.

“Monday was a bit of a shock to the system - there was no easing into it,” Lillyman said. “I think the coaching staff are making a bit of a statement there. We certainly hit the ground running and I guess that set the tone for the whole pre-season.”

As a 10-year veteran in the NRL, Lillyman has been through his fair share of gruelling training sessions, designed to ready the body for the rigours of one of the most demanding competitions in world sport.

He was loathe to compare this pre-season with others - as if recalling the horrors was too much to bear - but did say there was one main different this time around.

“Every pre-season is tough but the thing that sets this one out is the pure volume.

“We’re doing four or five sessions a day.

We get in at 7.30am and we don’t get home till 5pm.

Ruben Wiki: a legend of the game “Very long days and that’s what this preseason’s going to be about.

“We know we’ve got a lot of work to do and we’re going to work hard.”

That was work has perhaps been amplified in this season’s preparation considering the year the Warriors have just experienced.

After losing a succession of leads, questions were raised over whether the team was fit enough, but Lillyman thought the explanation was more mental tiring than physical.

“That’s been bandied around a bit but I don’t fully agree with the notion that we weren’t fit enough. I think it was more a mental thing last year. There were a lot of factors that went into it. It was just a disappointing year all around. Hopefully this year we can make amends.”

One man hoping the help the Warriors do just that is former player Ruben Wiki, who has moved from part-time to a fulltime strength and conditioning role.

Lillyman said, even though his work-outs have been especially taxing, Wiki was the perfect man for the job.

“It’s good for him to be back in the club.

He’s a legend of the game.

“He’s done what we could only dream of, he’s got a lot of respect among the boys.

So when he says do something, you don’t argue, you just get in and do it.” - APNZ

there should be a big gun battle up front.”

In the women’s race Julia Grant, a 70.3 Ironman World Championship competitor this year, took out the honours coming sixth overall last year but is so far absent from this year’s event.

“Grant is absent but last year’s runner up Tamsyn Hayes is in the field.”

The half ironman gets underway at 8.30am and every half an hour another event gets underway in descending order of distance, with the kid’s fun run the last to go under the starter’s gun.

Registration for the event remains open today.

• Buderus with Brumbies Veteran NRL star Danny Buderus will cross codes one day a week to teach tackle skills to the Brumbies ahead of the 2013 Super Rugby season.

Buderus will assist the Brumbies as their “collision coach” while still preparing to play for his NRL club Newcastle next season.

The 34-year-old will travel to Canberra once a week to coach tackle-specific skills through to the beginning of the NRL season.

Brumbies’ coach Jake White is looking at new ways to lift his young side next year after missing the Super Rugby finals by just one point in 2012.

However, it was the side that beat them to being Britain’s first ever winner of the European Cup, Celtic, that stole the glory as they recorded a deserved 2-1 home win over four-time champions Barcelona just a day after the hosts celebrated their 125th birthday. Chelsea kept their hopes alive with a last gasp 3-2 win over talented Ukrainian side Shakhtar Donetsk.

No experiments likely from All Blacks selectors

By Wynne Gray It’s been more than a decade since the All Blacks ventured to Perth on the banks of the River Tay in central Scotland.

Like the decline of the local whisky industry, such ventures from international rugby teams have shrunk.

Since that day back in 2001 when the All Blacks turned out for a 35-13 victory against Scotland A, they have played only three games outside their test schedule.

There was an outing against the Barbarians in 2004, a special game with Munster in 2008 and the Barbarians once more the following year.

Around that, it has been a mass of internationals as the All Blacks and their administrative masters have worked to balance the books, keep players on their payroll and deal with the IRB rosters.

If 2001 gave the players just a little taste of rugby outside the test arenas, you had to go back a further eight years to find the last time the All Blacks played a few games in Scotland.

It was 1993 as they worked their way through the opposition in Galashiels, Glasgow and Edinburgh before they rolled up for the test against Gavin Hastings’ mob.

A quartet of All Backs made their debut that afternoon including wing Jeff Wilson, who scored three tries and kicked a sideline conversion in the 51-15 drubbing of their hosts.

Fellow new boys that day were Stu Forster, Steve Gordon and Marc Ellis.

Ellis was best known as a utility three-quarter for Otago and the previous year he had been picked for the All Blacks midweek sides in Australia and South Africa as a centre.

But a year later, current selector Grant Fox retired after the domestic series with the British and Irish Lions as the panel pondered his replacement.

Stephen Bachop was in the frame once more as coach Laurie Mains and selectors Peter Thorburn and Earle Kirton mulled over their options.

Who knows who delivered the most persuasive arguments among

Marc Ellis: a selectorial gamble back on the 1993 tour to Great Britain that group but it’s likely Kirton, who favoured some left-field theories, persuaded the others that Ellis should be shifted to first five-eighths.

There was no doubt about Ellis’ running and defensive game.

He was a confident bloke with the ball and was used to all sorts of biff and bash in midfield.

The uncertainty was about his game direction and the tactical kicking needed for games at the highest level.

But the panel took the plunge and rated Ellis as a stronger competitor under pressure than the gifted but flighty Bachop.

Up stepped Ellis for his test debut at Murrayfield, gathered two tries and led the side imperiously around the park for their huge victory.

Goldie got most of the accolades because of his hat-trick and fascination about his ability to mix rugby and cricket, but Ellis was not far adrift.

A week later, both men were downcast in the dressing rooms at Twickenham as the All Blacks fell 15-9 to England.

There is little room for those sort of selection experiments on the All Blacks current tour unless they yank a buck, a doe and a handful of kits out of the selection hat today.

Starting Tawera Kerr-Barlow and Dane Coles would qualify, but there is more chance of Steve Hansen swimming the Firth of Forth than that happening.

Instead, the coach and squad are fixed on addressing some of the frailties which crept into their work in the last test against the Wallabies.

They know they could have taken

an unlikely victory had Dan Carter’s after-the-hooter dropped goal been 1m to the left.

They would have taken that victory no matter what.

An 18-18 draw was better than a loss but they left Suncorp Stadium with little taste for any festivity knowing they had blown their chance for a tilt at a world-record winning sequence.

The All Blacks have shelved that despair, flown halfway around the world and have Scotland in their sights as the first foe on their endof-year tour on Monday (NZT).

There will be changes - not because of Brisbane but the need, as the selectors see it, to split some of their resources and get everyone into work during the opening tests against Scotland and Italy.

Who knows, the division of some labour may flush out some new ideas, reinvigorate older talent or show up a few whose production may have been concealed in the team approach?

Give Hansen one thing.

No, not a wetsuit to go swimming.

A bit like Kirton, he is prepared to think outside the accepted selection templates.

He is always looking out for something new, some tactic or play to stay ahead of the rest of the world while still attending to basic rugby formulas.

He might use Ben Smith at centre or rearrange his loose forwards.

Whatever he does, he wants to hit Murrayfield with a team full of certainty.

He wants them to be so sure of their work they do not have time to get twitchy.

It’s been only a few weeks since they last played. They have that advantage over the Scots who are starting their winter test programme.

No matter, no mercy will be Hansen’s call.

He will also lay it on the line that test positions are open for the matches with Wales and England.

These are auditions for everyone - show us what you’ve got.

If all that fails and the All Blacks trip up for the first time against Scotland, Hansen might as well wade out into the Firth of Forth and keep going.

Piri looks ready to rumble

By Wynne Gray It’s hard to be certain, but Piri Weepu looks as though he may have shed a kilo or two.

His face looks a little more pinched and that’s nothing to do with his media duties or possible confrontation with Scotland on Monday (NZT).

If it’s true, Weepu must have been keeping a serious rein on his food intake and knuckled down to regular training as he eyes the inroads Aaron Smith has made at halfback this year with Tawera Kerr-Barlow chasing as well.

Weepu’s only international start this season came because Smith

broke a team rule and was benched for the Dunedin test against the Springboks.

But he is back with the squad in Europe, waiting to add to his 66 caps and leave a strong end of year impression.

One of next year’s Blues staff will be a keen observer. Skills coach Mick Byrne will be ready to nudge the nuggety halfback if he starts to slip back into his comfort patterns as the colder weather bites.

It has been tough this week with some strong winds upsetting the players’ rhythm and putting a premium on the passing and kicking skills of men like Weepu.

He ran around a few times in ITM Cup training but, like most in the

squad, has not played at all under the new rules, like the five second use-it-or-lose-it ruck requirement.

“We had a good explanation to us last week from [referee] Garratt [Williamson] so I think the boys are pretty well prepared,” Weepu said.

All year the All Blacks had played as if the ball could not sit at the back of the ruck so that law change should not affect them.

“We like to speed the game up anyway.

“We have got a bit of a rule that the ball is not there for longer than five seconds so the quicker we get there and clear it the better.

“I don’t think it is going to have much effect on the game.” - NZH

• Tennis boss dumped Well-known Rangiora tennis identity Sam Clarke has been dumped as patron of Tennis Canterbury in a row that reflects splits in the sport since the earthquakes wrecked Wilding Park and courts at several clubs. Clarke, who served on the association’s senior committee for 42 years, was nominated again as patron by the Tennis Canterbury board. But at the annual meeting Colin Hunt, president of the Canterbury Tennis Seniors Association and a former Canterbury chairman, moved a vote of no confidence in the nomination, and this was carried. The dumping of Clarke, 78, shocked many tennis supporters and has drawn a blast from tennis legend Onny Parun, who says new forces have managed to infiltrate and control the sport in Canterbury.

• Auction postponed New Zealand’s nine hockey players will have to wait until the end of the month to know if they will be picked up by one of the six franchises set to play in the new Hockey India League. The player auction, similar to the one held for cricketers in the Indian Premier League, has been postponed until the end of the month, although details remain sketchy.

The auction was originally due to be held overnight. The six franchises were due to bid on around 100 international players for the league, which is due to be held from January 5 to February 3. Black Sticks’ captain Dean Couzins, veteran Phil Burrows, goalkeeper Hamish McGregor, midfielder Shea McAleese, centrehalf Steve Edwards, strikers Simon Child and Hugo Inglis, forward Nick Wilson and defender Andy Hayward will all feature in - APNZ the auction.

• Coach’s warning Photo kirsty graham 200112-kg-26

A mountain biker bottoms out coming off the rock drop during the National Downhill Series round at the Mt Hutt Bike Park in January. The rock drop is one of the areas on the course that Bike Methven has redeveloped which will get a test-run this Sunday.

Course ‘longer, more technical’

By Jonathan Leask Bike Methven has revamped the course that will again host the national downhill series this summer.

The Mt Hutt Bike Park has undergone some alterations and extensions to provide a more complete course for when they host the second round of the Downhill New Zealand Mountain Bike Cup in January.

“The diggers been going a bit crazy up there lately,” Bike Methven president Mark Johns said.

“We have put in a lot of work adding a few new sections to make it longer and a bit more technical.

“We also reconditioned the rock drop at the finish to make it more user friendly.”

Earlier this year the rock drop at the end of the course was the marquee feature that separated the men from the boys.

Thomson in no rush

By Gregor Paul Adam Thomson continues to gather options about his future but remains uncertain about his plans for 2013.

The All Black utility loose forward is in the somewhat curious position of not knowing

what he will be doing after this tour is over.

He comes off contract at the end of the year and has not been named in any Super Rugby side yet, strangely, he’s in no rush to commit to anything and says that whatever he ends up doing, he doesn’t believe this tour will close the door on his international career.

“I have a couple of options which is nice and I am just going to take my time and chew over the information,” said Thomson.

“I have a pretty big task ahead of me with the All Blacks and that is the main focus for now.

“I love being an All Black and there is nothing greater in world rugby than being an All Black so it is still a massive drive.

“There are a lot of things that need to be calculated so I need to make sure I have got all the information.”

He’s not divulging much detail about what his offshore options are.

The Japanese market had shown interest but the season there is short and well into business.

Having started an All Black test

21

in the last 15 months, he qualifies for a work visa to play in Europe and there have been murmurings that an English club is interested.

But nor has he ruled out the prospect of squeezing into Super Rugby.

The Highlanders have only named 31 players and they have the capacity to contract 32.

“There can be [a place for him in the Highlanders],” he says.

“There are options - New Zealand is certainly not a closed off option.

“There are pros and cons to both scenarios [playing offshore or staying in New Zealand].

“New Zealand rugby is exciting and fast paced, and it really does take a toll on the body.

“There are other options that may preserve your career and give you a bit of a freshen up and they are financial opportunities as well.”

Thomson says he is no hurry to make up his mind and is not being distracted by the lack of certainty.

Having barely been used by the All Blacks all season, he’s determined to make the most of any game-time he does get to push for a starting berth in the final two tests.

- NZH

Adam Thomson: still a possible place in the Highlanders in next year’s Super Rugby tournament

“It put a few people off and it was real test of the suspension with the flat landing, so we decided to make it steeper for a smoother run.”

The NZ MTB Cup series consists of five downhill and four cross country events starting in Bluff on January 4, and concludes with the series finale in Auckland on February 10, where series champions will be crowned.

At this stage the series will be headlined by Anton Cooper who won the under 19 rainbow jersey at the World Championships in Austria, but there is a strong possibility of some top international riders turning out after heading down under for the European winter.

Hosting the second round of the Gravity mountain bike series on Sunday will act as a good test of the new-look course.

“It’s the Canterbury mountain bike club’s event, so some of the very best riders in the region will be out on the track and most of

the locals will also be in the mix.”

The day of downhill racing will provide the club with the necessary feedback to further tweak the national course, but the downhill park isn’t the only thing getting worked on.

The cross country park was a work in progress last season but also continues to be developed.

“It is now fully rideable but we are cutting new entry points all the time to link it to the downhill trails.

“Both sections of the park are getting worked on, added to and developed so the park is growing in size and in use.”

The club have at least one organised event each month over summer but can usually be found riding or working on the trails most weekends, if they aren’t elsewhere competing.

As for Sunday’s Gravity race, shuttles will be in operation for the morning’s practice session with seeding runs starting at midday.

Interim Wales coach Rob Howley has told his country’s growing number of overseasbased rugby players their international careers could suffer if they remain with foreign clubs.

Howley stunned many observers by leaving out British and Irish Lions halfback Mike Phillips from the Wales starting XV to play Argentina on Saturday. Phillips is one of five players in the current Wales squad based in either France or England. They can also play against Samoa and New Zealand, but not the autumn climax with Australia on December 1 because the Wallabies match falls outside the International Rugby Board’s window for Test matches, meaning clubs are not obliged to release players. - AFP

Botha, captaining South Australia, says Amla is a cool character who won’t be ruffled by any verbal tactics in the first Test starting in Brisbane today. A leaked Australian dossier on the Proteas states Amla should be targeted with a “bit of - AAP psychological war”.

Ashburton’s unbeatable Robbie Bell tees off at the Freyberg masters in Napier.

Ashburton’s Robbie Bell remains unbeaten after seven rounds of the Freyberg Masters at the Maraenui Golf Club in Napier.

Unfortunately the Aorangi side hasn’t fared quite so well, but did manage to record a draw and a win in yesterday’s round.

Aorangi drew with Otago in the day’s morning round, with Bell all-square and Tinwald’s John Smitheram undone 3/2 in his match, but then in round seven Aorangi produced a convincing 4.5-0.5 win over Southland, with Bell taking a 2/1 win and Smitheram a 3/1 result, for Aorangi to sit in sixth spot heading into today’s final two rounds.

In Wednesday’s lone round Aorangi edged out Manawatu-Wanganui 3-2 after Bell was all square and Smitheram was beaten on the last hole.

The team had started strongly on the first day beating Poverty Bay 5-0 and having a draw with Taranaki, in which Bell and Smitheram won both their matches.

Aorangi came off a bye in Tuesday’s morning round to meet Waikato who proved too strong taking a 4-1 win, but it was Bell who recorded the point for Aorangi with a 3/2 win.

Aorangi wraps up their tournament against Bay of Plenty and Hawkes Bay today with Bell looking to remain unbeaten.

It would take a day of upsets for anyone other than Waikato, Wellington or Auckland to win this year’s Freyberg Masters.

Waikato sits in the lead on 21 points being unbeaten through seven rounds, with Wellington and Auckland tied for second place on 18.5 at the start of the day.

Waikato takes on Taranaki and can have the tournament sealed up before a big clash with Auckland.

Brian Wilson watches the progress of his putt during the Lions Club of Ashburton Annual Charity Golf Tournament at the Ashburton Golf Club yesterday. A solid field of 81 starters enjoyed excellent conditions but it was George Cartney who enjoyed them the most, taking the top prize with a stableford score of 42 points. It was a tie for second with Brent Smith and Gabe Jansen tied on 40 points, and it was also a tie in the ladies with Barbara Cochrane and Sandra Quinn also tied on 40 points. This year the tournament was in support of the Mania-O-Roto Scouts Building Fund and the Lions raised more than $5000 for the cause.
