Alcohol Drizzle fails to dampen show spirits sponsors linked to problem drinking

By Susan Sandys

Drizzly conditions did not keep crowds away from the Mayfield A&P Show on Saturday.

When light rain cleared after midday there was an influx of families from throughout Mid Canterbury, and overcast skies throughout the afternoon did not put a dampener on proceedings.

President James Wright was pleased to report as the show drew to a close on Saturday, that gate takings were on a par with last year.

One of the highlights had been to see the showground’s new show ring in use.

“I have been speaking to some of the judges and they have all been complimentary,” he said.

Mr Wright was a contestant in a celebrity bike race in the Bikes For Fun area, and came second last, followed

by Ashburton Mayor Angus McKay, who appeared to have issues with his bike’s chain.

Mr Wright had more luck at the show’s pig races, with his pig, number three, coming first in one of the races.

“I had better go and collect,” he said of the $6 prize money, but then decided he

would leave it in the kitty as a donation.

He was among hundreds who stood four rows deep around the obstacle race course, to cheer on piglets running through tunnels, climbing and sliding down a ramp, and jumping over hurdles to get to their feed at the end.

And while that was the show’s “signature tune”, there was plenty of other attractions which saw crowds gather, such as entertainer Jason Pemberton and his band, a well filled trade display space, vintage machinery, shearing competition for the industry’s guns, needle in a hay stack competition for children, dog trials, Aorangi young farmers regional fencing final, and the grand parade.

He said there had been a good wool display this year, and great produce and home industries section. And entry numbers, while slightly down overall compared to last year, saw higher than usual goat and chook numbers.

Coming last in the celebrity bike race did not dampen Mr McKay’s perception of the day.

“It’s been a majestic day at the A&P show,” he said after the race.

POLL QUESTION

By Myles Hume The removal of pub and alcohol sponsors would be a major step in curbing drinking cultures in Mid Canterbury sporting clubs, an alcohol expert says.

The link between alcohol and sport is in the spotlight again, following the findings of Monash University behavioural studies expert Dr Kerry O’Brien at The Perils of Alcohol Marketing conference last week.

Mr O’Brien has conducted a study which highlights the link between alcohol sponsorship and problem drinking, where he found 68 per cent of 652 surveyed sportspeople sponsored by drinking brands were classified as hazardous drinkers.

Ashburton Community Alcohol and Drugs Service (ACADS) general manager Chris Clark said it was no secret there was a drinking culture in Mid Canterbury sporting clubs, which was not being helped by the pub sponsors throughout the district.

“A lot of rural clubs around Mid Canterbury are sponsored by local bars and I suppose the club’s members expect them people to be their patrons.

“Would that increase consumption levels? Well that’s hard to say but there’s certainly a close association with sport and alcohol.”

As part of the Alcohol Amendment Bill the Government was looking to tackle the extent of alcohol advertising, consumption and target audiences.

Several rugby clubs in Mid Canterbury were sponsored by their local pubs, which were usually full of players and supporters most Saturday nights throughout winter.

With alcohol abuse playing a key part in vandalism, assaults and drink driving and other anti-social behaviour in Mid Canterbury in past seasons, Ms Clark said she would support a

move to ban alcohol-related sponsorship.

But she believed it would be hard for sporting clubs to shake local pub sponsorship because the money it generated was vital to their survival.

However, she had noticed a shift in mentality as clubs look to stamp out alcohol consumption.

The Methven Rugby Club hosted Crusaders assistant coach Tabai Matson at the end of last year, promoting SAY Now, a programme which highlighted the role clubs had in educating youth about the impact alcohol had.

Celtic Rugby Club is set to hold a similar meeting next week.

Bus trips for away games have also limited consumption, needing licences for passengers to drink on board.

Mid Canterbury Rugby Union chief executive Ian Patterson said he had seen the drinking culture move away during the past few years from the “drinking holes” stigma that has been historically attached to sport.

“I would argue sponsorships have been steadily reducing ... the whole environment has changed and that’s reflective of clubs wanting to be successful and wanting to be the community centre,” he said.

Mr Patterson believed pub sponsors had different motives to alcohol companies, saying they were about supporting giving back to the local community.

Lynda Topp hits back over gay union Entertainer Lynda Topp has married her partner Donna Luxton at their home in Staveley, in the foothills of the Southern Alps, and she is adamant “marriage” is the correct word to describe their union.

In a statement last week, Topp blasted an anti-gay marriage group for trying to hijack her ceremony.

Family First leader Bob McCoskrie tried to use Topp’s ceremony to make a point for his cause. In his blog on March 1,

with links to Protect Marriage NZ, McCoskrie congratulated Topp and Luxton for choosing a civil union. He said by doing so they showed there was no need to legalise gay marriage.

Topp, one half of country music duo the Topp Twins, retorted: “WRONG. We do not believe in civil union. It is discrimination, My partner and I are getting married, so there. PS, would appreciate it if this website did not use our good name to promote ... anti-marriage

views for the gay and lesbian community.”

McCoskrie removed his comments and thanked Topp for “clarifying”.

Saturday’s ceremony at Topp Lodge was a community affair with Staveley locals protecting the couple’s privacy while welcoming a large contingent of wedding guests.

A women’s magazine had arranged to cover the event and there was a heavy security pres-

ence in the small town. A “traffic management plan” meant a road was closed and uninvited guests were prevented from straying into the wedding zone.

A grey day wasn’t enough to dampen the excitement in the town where a white marquee stood covered in bunting beside Staveley Hall.

The town cafe, The Staveley Store, had a sign advising visitors it would close at 4pm for the function.

Topp and Luxton met in 2005 at the Methven A&P Show. Her son, Cameron Luxton, is also a country musician and has supported the twins on tour.

A parliamentary select committee has recommended a bill to legalise same-sex marriage be passed into law. The bill’s next reading is on March 13.

Asked if he wished Topp and Luxton well, McCoskrie said: “I wish everybody well.”

No inquiry into ‘foolish’ officers

By Rebecca Quilliam There will be no independent inquiry into the actions of three police officers who wore matching identification badges while at an operation to remove Occupy protesters in Auckland last year.

Police said the officers’ actions were foolish but they have been dealt with appropriately.

Protesters say their complaint has been ignored.

The Independent Police Conduct Authority (IPCA) has confirmed it will not investigate the officers as their actions did not meet the most serious, or Category One, complaint.

The officers wore the badges while

dealing with a volatile situation where Occupy Auckland protesters were being evicted from Aotea Square in January last year.

An internal investigation was conducted into whether they had breached the policy that required each officer wear their own identification number.

Two of the officers were found to be guilty of misconduct and a performance issue was identified with the third, a national police headquarters spokeswoman said.

Of the three officers, two were still working on the force and the third has since left police for reasons unrelated to the matter. The spokeswoman said details of sanctions applied against the officers were

an employment matter and remained confidential between police and the employees.

Police Commissioner Peter Marshall said he was satisfied the staff were dealt with appropriately under the police code of conduct and appropriate sanctions were applied.

“While the employment investigation found no malicious intent, their actions fell below the standards of professionalism I would expect.”

Mr Marshall said he expected the highest standard of behaviour by police staff and police would come down hard on anyone who fell short of those standards.

“I am satisfied the staff involved in this incident are now fully aware of the foolishness of their actions.”

An IPCA spokeswoman said the authority usually investigated only incidents involving death and serious bodily harm and serious misconduct.

Other categories of complaints were usually referred back to police for investigation under the authority’s independent oversight, she said.

“In these cases the authority actively oversees the police investigation, or reviews or audits the police investigation once it is completed to ensure that it is properly resolved.”

She said the authority was aware police were investigating this case and that internal processes were being followed.

“If there is any further complaint or expression of dissatisfaction following the resolution of that, the authority

Lochlea opens doors to public

By Sue Newman Ashburton people were given their first taste at the weekend, of what will be a huge retirement lifestyle resort when Lochlea held two open days.

The Lochlea lifestyle resort is breaking new ground in Ashburton in providing living options for retired people that are more like a luxury gated village than a retirement village, says resort manager Tony Sands.

With one villa in the complex already completed, four more due for completion within six weeks and the hub of the resort, the recreation centre under construction, Mr Sands said the time was right to let the public have a look at what was happening on the site.

The resort is to be built in stages, with 107 villas and the community centre the first to be completed. Smaller apartments for independent living and a hos-

pital were planned further down the track, but Mr Sands said there was a strong possibility the 85-bed hospital would now be built within two rather than six years.

“And this couldn’t come at a better time, given the concerns over our hospital,” he said.

The community centre is due for completion in September and will contain swimming pools, conference and meeting rooms, a restaurant and service facilities such as an on-site hairdresser.

Visitors at the open days were able to view a completed villa and to look at plans and collect information on options for buying into the complex.

Lochlea resort is planned as a gated community designed to provide a safe and secure environment for residents with lifestyle options ranging from total independence in villas, through to independent living with some care available in smaller units to resthome and hospital level care.

Incidents attended to by the Ashburton Police and Mid Canterbury volunteer fire brigades recently.

Check out guardianonline.co.nz, for up-to-the-minute updates on every fire callout in the district during the week.

• Three callouts Sparking power lines saw the Ashburton Volunteer Fire Brigade respond to three callouts on Saturday. About 5.30am residents alerted emergency services when they saw sparks on power lines on Elizabeth Street, Allenton. This was followed by a callout about 20 minutes later, to Davis Crescent at Netherby, for the same thing. About 10.30am another callout was received, to power lines on Albert Street, Netherby. Senior station officer Alister Kenny said fire fighters notified the power board.

Other callouts included to Ashburton’s central shopping centre on Tancred Street about 8.15am on Saturday, however it proved to be a false alarm. A callout for the Hinds brigade about 1am on Sunday was to assist a person at a residence who was not feeling well, until an ambulance arrived.

• Hotere honoured Artist Ralph Hotere, who died a fortnight ago, has been immortalised by a street artist in Auckland. Graffiti artist Elliot O’Donnell – known as Askew One – revealed the finished work on the side of Kingsland shops on Saturday.

Ashburton’s Jess Halliday shows her stuff to judges at the Huhtamaki New Zealand Barista Championships on Saturday, where she was placed ninth.

Jess in top 10 baristas in country

By Susan Sandys Ashburton’s Jess Halliday is among the top 10 baristas in the country after competing in the Huhtamaki New Zealand Barista Championships in Wellington on Saturday.

The championships saw Nick Clark of Flight Coffee in Wellington

win, after placing third for the past two years. Jess placed ninth out of the 12 competing, a place she was more than happy with.

“Considering the talent that’s there,” the 25-year-old Columbus Cafe worker said yesterday morning as she relaxed with a flat white in the capital. She said she had now caught the competition bug and planned to compete again next

Auckland scrub fire Firefighters were battling a scrub fire in a South Auckland reserve yesterday afternoon that saw homes evacuated and two people treated for smoke inhalation.

The fire started at Pitt St Reserve in the suburb of Clendon Park and is believed to have burnt through 1400 sq m of scrub and grass.

Residents in Bellville Dr, Eloise Pl, and Bill Phillip Pl were evacuated due to smoke.

Extra fire appliances were called in from around the city to act as back-up, although the situation was now under control.

Smoke from the fire could be seen across Manukau.

year. She would also be helping out at the world barista championships in Melbourne in May, where Mr Clark would compete.

Jess said Saturday’s event required her and the other baristas to make four espressos, four cappuccinos, and four self-choice signature drinks, all within 15 minutes.

Her signature drinks involved

raspberry reduction and orange blossom water with espresso.

She said luck had not been with her on the day as the coffee wasn’t running how she would ideally have liked it to.

“It was a very intense competition,” she said, referring to judges having commented on there being very little separating the 12 competitors.

The parched North Island won’t see rain for at least a week as hot, dry weather continues to dominate in what has been described as one of the worst droughts since the 1940s.

Farmers say they are set to lose a third of their incomes and the $1 billion cost to the economy so far is rising every day.

The MetService says it will remain dry over most of the country next week but there is a glimmer of hope, with the chance of rain next weekend.

Forecaster Gerard Barrow said a low was forming in the Tasman Sea, but it was too early to know if it would track across the country.

“To say that rain could come to drought-stricken areas – we’re not in a position to give people that sort of hope just yet.”

Federated Farmers president Bruce Wills, a Hawke’s Bay sheep and cattle farmer, said the cost to the economy was increasing day by day.

ANZ has estimated the cost to the economy at $1 billion, which could blow out in the coming months, Mr Wills said.

“The cost to the economy is hard to say because it is growing more day by day that it doesn’t rain.

“There has not been a drought like this in Hawke’s Bay since 1952 and

that is 60 years ago. It is difficult to put a cost on the whole drought for the farmers and the economy but it is going up every day, we just don’t know when it is going to rain.”

Climate change expert Dr Jim Salinger said the North Island had not experienced a drought so severe for 70 years. In the season to February 28, the North Island lost 362mm of moisture from the soil through evaporation – making it a far drier season than the 1945/46 season which recorded 361mm for the entire season from July 1945 to June 1946, Dr Salinger said.

Mr Wills agreed with Dr Salinger’s assessment.

“It seems about right when you consider the worst drought in Hawke’s Bay,” he said.

“The drought in 2007 and 2009 was bad and the cost to the economy amounted to $2.8 billion. It’s not up there yet but we simply don’t know when it is going to rain.”

Mr Wills said the drought was going to cost him about a third of his income.

Northland, Auckland, Waikato, Bay of Plenty and Hawke’s Bay have all been officially declared drought zones and farmers from Manawatu-Rangitikei, Wairarapa and Taranaki hope to follow suit next week so they can have access to government benefits.

Mr Wills said the South Island was in better shape than the North Island because it was getting more rain and “hopefully it will stay that way”. - APNZ

Members of the public and police created a human chain at a Napier beach to haul ashore a boy who was washed out in heavy surf yesterday.

Police said the 12-yearold boy had been playing on the water’s edge along Marine Parade with a friend when they were caught by a wave.

The friend made it back to shore but the boy was swept out, police said.

A male German tourist went to the boy’s aid but was unable to keep a hold of him and had to return to shore. Police were called about 4.55pm and the first officer on the scene went into the water.

He was also unable to maintain a hold on the boy due to the heavy surf.

A second officer entered the water and reached the boy. He tried to bring the boy back to shore but had to battle to maintain a grip on him in the heavy surf.

At times he lost hold of the boy, who was underwater for up to 20 seconds at a time and fading fast.

Police instructed members of the public and other police staff to form a human chain and this, combined with the second officer moving the boy towards the shore, saved him.

One of the organisers of the protest, John Minto, said it was “appalling” the authority was not investigating the officers’ actions.

“The IPCA should be there to rigorously investigate and thereby provide assurances to the public that the police are being held to account when there are egregious practices like this.”

He said the officers had committed serious misconduct.

“If the police deliberately collude together to avoid the consequences of their actions, and clearly their actions are either a breach of police regulations or a breach of the law, then that’s extremely serious.”

Pilot found dead near wreckage

By Matthew Backhouse The pilot of a newly registered helicopter which crashed in a remote valley near Turangi had been flying for only a couple of years but was “not green”, his brother says.

Mark Didsbury, 39, was found dead near the wreckage of the Robinson R66 helicopter in the remote Oamaru Valley yesterday morning.

He was reported missing on Saturday after he failed to return from a job dropping off hunters into the bush.

The Transport Accident Investigation Commission is investigating the cause of the crash.

The R66, a relatively new model helicopter, was registered to Taupo-based company Helisika in December last year.

Mark’s brother Guy Didsbury said he had been flying helicopters only for a couple of years.

He had recently moved from Wairarapa to Taupo to fly for Helisika, where his main job was to take hunters and fishers up rivers.

“He’d done a lot of shearing and just got into the helicopter thing and was absolutely loving it, so it’s a real shame,” Guy Didsbury said.

“He probably wouldn’t be classed as an experienced pilot but certainly not green either. He’d been there a while.”

Mr Didsbury said his brother was a good man who was hardworking, kind and generous.

The news had been “a bit of a whirlwind” for the family, and Mark’s long-term girlfriend was very upset.

“He will leave a big hole, that’s for sure. He touched a lot of people – there’s been a huge number of people coming around today and ringing.”

Asked if he was worried about the R66 being a relatively new helicopter, he said: “We don’t know too much about helicopters so no, we didn’t have too many concerns.”

The Robinson R66 is similar to the Robinson R44 but has a tur-

bine engine and a wider airframe, allowing it to carry five people including the pilot.

Civil Aviation Authority spokesman Mike Richards could not confirm yesterday when the R66 was certified to fly in New Zealand nor how many there were in the country.

He said all helicopters had to be certified in New Zealand, independently of other countries, to make sure they were suited to local conditions.

The Federal Aviation Administration in the United States granted certification to the R66 in February 2011.

Helisika said on its website that its R66 was registered in December last year. It said the helicopter was proving to be a very quiet and comfortable helicopter to travel in.

The company was unavailable for comment yesterday.

Police had initially been unsure whether Mark Didsbury had survived the crash.

Inspector Andy Brill of police northern communications said a rescue helicopter crew spotted the wreckage in a steep, bushy area about 7pm on Saturday.

A crew member was winched down to the wreckage, but with nightfall approaching and fuel running low, the search was called off.

Mr Brill said the pilot could have been out of sight within in the wreckage, nearby, or could have walked away.

Six police officers and a police dog resumed the search yesterday morning after they were winched into the area from the Taupo rescue helicopter.

Mr Didsbury’s body was found about 50m from the wreckage about 11.30am yesterday.

His body was to be airlifted from the area yesterday afternoon.

TAIC chief investigator Tim Burfoot said two of his staff had been dropped in the remote crash site yesterday. He described it as very rugged terrain and the helicopter was lying in a gully.

He knew little about the Robinson R66 other than it was a relatively new model.

Robin Hood with a medieval twist

By Susan Sandys Big Little Theatre Company (BLTC) will stage their latest production, Hood, next month.

The story of Robin Hood, Big Little style, will feature plenty of outrageous characters and a hilarious plot, and have a medieval twist.

Director Jackie Heffernan said as well as the show itself, to stage at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre in the school holidays, there would be a “medieval market place” set up in the centre’s foyer.

It would not be a market as such, but a hub of medieval style entertainment for showgoers to enjoy, featuring medieval

dancing, a sooth sayer and a maypole.

“Back in medieval times, medieval players would play in a market place. From the minute people walk through the doors we want to take them back 600 years,” Mrs Heffernan said.

“Theatre is a full-on sensory experience. We want to particularly encourage families to

come and bring children,” Mrs Heffernan said.

And there would be prizes for those dressing up as Hood characters such as Maid Marion and Robin Hood.

There are 46 members of Big Little Theatre Company aged from five to 17 years participating in the production, which will stage April 26, 27 and 28.

Ancestral remains reburied at marae

By Hamish McNeilly Dozens of ancestral remains have been reburied in an emotional ceremony at Puketeraki Marae, Karitane.

Enclosed in specially made boxes, the remains of 63 people – ranging from babies to old people – were laid to rest at the Huirapa pa site yesterday.

Upoko David Ellison said the reinterment ceremony offered a

We take the stress out of

chance to “lay our ancestors to rest”.

“They have finally found their resting place and that is important to us as an iwi and as a runanga.

It is emotional enough to attend an ordinary funeral, but a funeral for 60 people ... well.”

Mr Ellison expressed thanks to the assistance of the Otago Museum, which looked after the remains, University of Otago’s Anatomy Department, which did the scientific analysis, and local

archaeologist Brian Allingham.

“It is gratifying for all our runanga to receive so much information about our tipuna.”

The boxes were welcomed on to the marae at 10am yesterday,before being carried to their final resting place, which had been lined with flax and surrounded with stones.

“They were just ordinary people, but to us they are very sacred,” Mr Ellison said.

The bones were believed to be between 250 and 300 years old.

“This is part of putting right the wrongs of colonialism,” Victoria University pro vice-chancellor of Maori Professor Piri Sciascia said.

“That was the way it was then.

People would pick up bones and study them. But, it always sat uncomfortably with us, because human bones are sacred.”

Ngai Tahu entered negotiations with the Anatomy Department 20 years ago for the return of the remains, some of which had lain - APNZ there since the 1880s.

How did Solid Energy go so horribly wrong?

T

he demise of Solid Energy from a jewel in the Government crown to a financial basket case is turning into a national embarrassment.

Taxpayers and redundant coal miners must be wondering how it all went so horribly wrong and how everyone involved seems to be walking away scot-free with a bucket-load of cash.

Solid Energy was supposed to be one of the four state owned enterprises up for sale to bring in the millions for Finance Minister Bill English to plug his deficit hole.

Instead of a billion-dollar

OUR VIEW windfall the taxpayer now faces a $400 million bail-out just to cover the debt the company has created.

It has become clear that Government supervision of the coal giant was abysmal and that the board and executives were rolling around in massive salaries and bonuses while making one disastrous decision after another.

Even the most uneducated observer will find it easy to figure out where the responsibility

The fact that former chief executive Don Elder, who had been at the helm of Solid Energy for 12 years, did not appear at the select committee last week was an absolute disgrace.

He had resigned when the Solid Energy boat had just about gone under, and seemed to sail away into the sunset on a cashed-up

As a result new chairman Mark Ford was unable to shed any light as he had not been part of the major decisions, which turned the hearing into a farce as not one person could offer any real answers.

Thankfully, Minister Tony Ryall has now realised how absurd that decision was and on Friday suggested Mr Elder should be summoned to answer some questions.

My daughter gets picked up

by Ritchie’s school bus. She gets taken to the unit at Ashburton College. Not happy about this as my daughter has to be ready by 8am. She has been very unsettled this year due to this change and she doesn’t get home till about 4pm. This is not acceptable as she has to stay at school an extra 20 mins, also some of the teachers have to be out at gate to meet the bus. The teachers have enough to do. It was heaps better when we had taxis. My daughter would get picked up and dropped off at our door. Now she has to walk down long drive to get bus.

What’s going to happen in winter, she will have to stand out in the rain. And what’s the idea about wheelchair restraints, getting them from Mitre 10, yet taxis had to get proper ones which were more expensive than Mitre 10.

Board of education should’ve kept the taxis as they were doing an excellent job. I thought the board of education would put the children first, not how much money they can save. Get your priorities right, bring back the taxis.

As a career support person I sympathise with the children and parents that are being affected in regards to the school run services. I have a relation who is affected by all this and I have seen stress added to their lives, and behaviour changes in the child. I personally don’t think the board of ed have really thought about the effect these changes have made to the families and caregivers involved. I noticed one of the comments made by the bus service saying to a parent this is a bus service not a taxi service. My reply to that is these are children with special needs not every day children, these children require extra attention and TLC. My opinion is that the cost has come before the needs of the children, and as for them checking the bus requirements before accepting the offer is a load me rubbish because

why has the bus company had to make adjustments to comply with correct requirements after they started the school run?

faster than anyone predicted, but that still does not explain how this cash cow was left so vulnerable and over-stretched when the prices started to drop.

Mr Elder and his sidekicks fatally overestimated their own intelligence and income predictions and embarked on ambitious investments schemes, away from the core business, that are now dragging the company down the gurgler.

It is hard to fathom how the company could pay over 400 people more than $100,000 and dish out $23 million in bonuses, while sacking hundreds of miners

The minister responsible for the troubled Novopay teacher payroll system says there is a shortage of skilled people to help fix it.

It has been six months since Novopay was launched, but the system is still plagued by issues including underpayments to teachers and other school staff.

Minister Steven Joyce yesterday said there was no shortage of money to throw at the problem, but he accepted staffing was an issue.

“We do have a shortage of skilled Novopay people obviously, and we’re fixing that up as quickly as possible,” he told TVNZ’s Q+A programme.

“You can’t just bring people in off the street. They’re already operating at more than double what they expected to operate at ... but they are hiring people.”

Mr Joyce said staff were now keeping up with current payments, and the focus had shifted to resolving the six-month backlog of issues dating back to the system’s launch.

He said most complaints from schools were about past issues that needed to be resolved.

The backlog was very significant, and the worst part was that it took time to resolve the issues.

“So this week we’re setting up a backlog clearance unit, which is effectively going to double and treble the size of the people working on that.”

Mr Joyce said he had seen a draft copy of the technical review

report on Novopay, which is due within the next fortnight.

After seeing the full report, Mr Joyce is expected to make a decision on whether to ditch Novopay for the old Datacom system.

But he would not speculate on what decision he would make.

“It’s a decision that has to be made really carefully because no matter which way you go on that, there’s pain, and the last thing I want to do is create more pain than necessary.

“We have to have a cold, hard look at whether it will be quicker to remediate on the plan that we’re operating on now, which we’re continually ramping up, or cut across back to the old system.”

Mr Joyce said Datacom had presented the Government with a proposal and he had met with them in recent days.

Asked whether Datacom was up to the task, he said: “I think they could do it if they needed to.”

But he cautioned against seeing such a move as a quick-fix.

“The reality is they would still have to deal with all the backlog and they’d also have to take teachers back to the old system, which would then have to be upgraded down the line to another system.”

The teachers’ union PPTA is considering legal action against the Education Secretary over Novopay.

Prime Minister John Key has said compensation to prevent that was possible if the PPTA agreed to a package.

Early access to apprentice plan H

elping students get the qualifications they need to succeed and play their part in growing a more competitive and productive economy is one of the Nationalled Government’s four key priorities this term.

For that reason I am delighted the decision has been made to open access for new apprentices to the Government’s re-boot subsidy towards tools and offjob costs and start training immediately.

The ‘Apprenticeships Re-boot’ was due to start on April 1, but due to the feedback Government has had that there are new apprentices keen to get in there and start training and employers who are eager to take them on, the start date of the re-boot subsidy eligibility forward.

The first 10,000 new apprentices who enrol will be able to get a grant of $1000 towards their tools and off-job costs, or $2000 if they are in priority trades. Employers will receive a payment of the same amount for each apprentice they take on.

There are lots of opportunities over the next few years with the rebuilding of Christchurch, but also with the growth in the Ashburton District, to train more of our young people in careers that will set them up for life.

The Government estimates the ‘Apprenticeships Re-Boot’ will result in an additional 14,000 new apprentices starting training over the next five years, that above the 7000 who normally enrol each year now.

The re-boot subsidy will be payable to: - New Modern Apprentices at Level 3 and 4 in 2013 only, and - All industry trainees enrolled in a programme of study at Level 4 of 120 credits or more

Jo Goodhew Your MP - WORKING FOR YOU

in 2013 and beyond Modern Apprentices and industry trainees must be employed and actively training for 90 days before they receive the payment.

More information on the ‘Apprenticeship Re-Boot’ can be found at www.tec.govt.nz Improving our resource management system National’s first stage of resource management reform involved 150 changes to streamline the Resource Management Act (RMA). But there is still more to be done.

One of our priorities this term is delivering better public services, and making our RMA more efficient will contribute to this.

Our RMA discussion document released recently proposes a number of improvements across the planning, consenting and appeals processes. We want to give businesses confidence to grow and create jobs, and communities greater certainty to plan for their area’s needs.

The reforms have six core objectives: greater national consistency and guidance; fewer, better resource management plans; an efficient consenting system; better natural hazard management; effective and meaningful Maori participation; and working with councils to improve their RMA service performance.

Family set to file $1m claim

By Carolyne Meng-Yee The mother of a youth shot dead in police crossfire during a chase on an Auckland motorway is about to file a $1 million claim for compensation.

Halatau Naitoko’s family has put its courier business into liquidation – partly because his brothers are scared to drive now – and say the suffering forced on them by the 2009 shooting has been unfair.

Naitoko died at the wheel of

his courier van during a shootout between police and a man they were chasing, Stephen McDonald.

Naitoko’s mother, Ivoni Fuimaono-Teputepu, said the compensation claim would be lodged in the High Court at Auckland this week. Talks had been continuing with police but she had only now been able to file an official bid for compensation because she had just been declared administrator of Halatau’s affairs.

Fuimaono-Teputepu said she was trying to seek justice and hon-

our her son’s memory – she was not doing it for the money.

“No matter how much money they offer it won’t bring him back.

The police have made so many mistakes, so they need to learn from them. If I don’t do anything, if I don’t fight – there will be more people that might die.”

The lodging of a claim will come almost a year after a damning report from the Independent Police Conduct Authority, which criticised police actions over Naitoko’s death.

Fuimaono-Teputepu said the

family courier business lost three contracts worth $20,000 a month shortly after the death and had limped along until liquidating the company recently.

“We have not only lost our son but we have lost our business. You know our boys have left school but they are scared, they don’t want to go out to work. They said, ‘We don’t want to drive any more because we might get killed on the road’.”

She used to drive a lot with her son and found the reminders difficult. “I will be driving up and down

the same motorway all the time and it’s hard because it is a constant reminder of what happened.

He was my best friend. I miss him so much.”

The claim will be filed against the Attorney-General, under the Bill of Rights Act. Lawyer Colin Pidgeon QC has been working for the family through legal aid.

He said they were advised to seek a settlement figure of $1 million by Dr Paul Rishworth, an expert on - APNZ the Bill of Rights.

Police say two women involved in a fatal crash on a farm north of Wanganui were not wearing seatbelts.

Sergeant Colin Wright of Wanganui police said the friends were driving a ute down a steep hill on Saturday when it rolled several times. The 37-year-old driver suffered a fatal head injury, but her 29-year-old passenger was thrown free of the vehicle and suffered minor cuts and bruises. The crash happened on a property on Watershed Road at Taunoka, 73km north west of Wanganui, about 5.45pm. Mr Wright said neither woman was wearing a seatbelt.

Judges’ work under lens

By Lynley Bilby The chief judge of the District Court is finalising a proposal to subject New Zealand’s 133 district court judges to performance reviews and greater public scrutiny.

A discussion paper released at Saturday’s Asia Pacific Courts Conference outlined a plan for the judges to be rated on their performances.

The plan stops short of releasing information on individual judges.

Instead, it proposes the public be given a “tempered” version – keeping names secret and focusing on administrative matters. This is intended to preserve the judges’ independence and impartiality.

However, the report authors still hoped this would go a long way to bolster public trust and confidence in the nation’s courtrooms.

Chief District Court Judge JanMarie Doogue said the peer reviews wouldn’t assess decisions of individual judges. “This is a health check on the district courts,”she said.

Ten areas of courtroom operation would go under the microscope. They included the time it takes judges to make judgments, giving reasons for decisions, workloads, rostering

decisions, public communication and complaints.

Some of the changes are the result of mounting concern from the public and lawyers.

The report cited the high-profile murder of Auckland teenager Christie Marceau and the publicity generated after it was revealed her killer, Akshay Chand, was out on bail when he killed her.

The discussion paper suggested the public should know the reasons for judges’ decisions.

“It is imperative that the judiciary therefore takes initiatives to put information about their decisions, both judicial and administrative, into the public arena,” it said.

There was also a lack of confidence over judges taking too much time to make reserved decisions.

Sensible Sentencing Trust spokesman Garth McVicor said he wasn’t surprised at the move as the judiciary was under increasing pressure to be transparent. He hoped this would bring a mood of openness to the judiciary and praised Doogue for the initiative.

Doogue said there was widespread backing for the review from within the judiciary. The Ministry of Justice would be approached to fund the next - APNZ stage, she said.

Riots in Cairo after verdict

By Nancy A Youssef and Amina Ismail An Egyptian court has issued split verdicts in the deadliest soccer riot in this country’s history, confirming death sentences for 21 fans accused of planning the violence, giving life terms to five others, and sentencing two senior police commanders to long prison stretches.

Twenty-eight of the defendants in the case, which stemmed from a February 1, 2012, post-game stampede that left 74 people dead, were acquitted, including seven police

officers. Seven others were sentenced to prison terms of between one and 15 years.

The deaths after the match between Cairo’s al Ahly club and Port Said’s al Masry indelibly altered soccer’s place in this nation. In the aftermath, the government cancelled the remainder of last year’s season, and this year, it banned spectators from all soccer games.

Now, the conflict has become part of the country’s growing political instability, with the case becoming a focal point of anti-government violence. Yesterday, plumes of

smoke rose over both Port Said and Cairo as crowds of angry men used the court action as an excuse to confront police, often without success because many of the country’s security forces have gone on strike.

Officers in Port Said, for example, had abandoned their posts on Friday, and crowds had to find new targets because the police stations had already been burned in previous protests. With no authorities to clash with, they set tyres ablaze near the Suez Canal and protested downtown.

In Cairo, where police remained on duty, mobs set a police officers’

club on fire and burned the offices of the country’s soccer association across the street. At least one death was reported.

In both cities it fell to the army to put out fires and try to restore order without firing a weapon.

Overall, the violence was less than in January, when a court first issued the 21 death sentences, all to al Masry fans for plotting the violence. At least 57 people died in the several days of violence that followed that verdict.

The mixed verdict at the weekend left both sides unhappy. Al Masry fans complained that the court was

trying to pacify al Ahly fans, while al Ahly fans were disappointed that more police officers hadn’t been found guilty of collusion in the stampede.

“We don’t know whether to celebrate or cry,” said Ahmed Hany, 20, a diehard fan – known in Egypt an “ultra” – of Port Said’s al Masry team.

As Judge Sobhi Abdel-Maguid read out the eight-minute ruling in a packed and tense Cairo courtroom, fans around the nation reacted with horror and joy, depending on which team they supported.

As the judge first announced

that he was upholding the death sentence “by hanging” of 21 fans, Hany, who was at the 2012 game, screamed in horror at the conviction of his friends. In Cairo, three hours away, al Ahly “ultras”, gathered at their headquarters, cheered.

Minutes later as the judge announced the acquittal of most of the police officers named in the case, Hany screamed for joy, while in Cairo, the al Ahly fans reacted with bitterness. Despite the rulings, the case is far more from over.

Both sides have said they plan to - MCT appeal.

Vatican readies to elect Pope Australia offers Indon

By Dario Thuburn The Vatican has installed a special chimney on the Sistine Chapel from which white smoke will signal the election of a new Pope as cardinals prepare for the historic vote next week after Benedict XVI’s resignation.

The conclave of 115 “cardinal electors” will begin tomorrow under Michelangelo’s famous frescoes to choose the 266th Pope following the abrupt end to Benedict’s eight-year papacy which was often overshadowed by scandals.

French cardinal Andre Vingt-Trois, the Archbishop of Paris, said there were around “half a dozen possible candidates”.

Italian cardinal Angelo Scola, the Archbishop of Milan, is seen as one favourite, along with Canada’s Marc Ouellet and Brazil’s Odilo Scherer.

Other names mentioned on the rumour mill in recent days have been Hungary’s Peter Erdo, Mexico’s Jose Francisco Robles Ortega, Austria’s Christoph Schoenborn and Sri Lanka’s Albert Malcolm Ranjith.

“The problem with this conclave is that there is no early frontrunner like Joseph Ratzinger in 2005,” said John Allen, a Vatican expert at the National Catholic Reporter, a US weekly.

Luis Antonio Tagle, the Archbishop of Manila, a youthful and popular cardinal, has also been mentioned as a

possible. “If there was a direct election among the 1.2 billion Catholics in the world he would win by a landslide but that is not how the Church works,” Allen said.

The decision on the date of the conclave was taken on Friday at one of a series of closed-door meetings held by cardinals over the past week to discuss the many challenges facing the next Pope.

Cardinals, with no new Pope to defer to and no late Pope to grieve over, have seized on the rare chance to air grievances against the Vatican administration and call for greater transparency.

The 85-year-old Benedict last month admitted he was too weak in body and mind to keep up with the modern world and became only the second head of the Roman Catholic Church ever to resign by choice in its 2000-year history.

“Pope emeritus” Benedict has stayed out of pre-conclave debates and is living at the papal summer residence of Castel Gandolfo near Rome for the next couple of months, after which he will move to a former convent inside the Vatican.

Vatican workers meanwhile have put the final touches on preparations for the Sistine Chapel, blacking out windows to prevent any spying on the conclave and installing scrambling devices to prevent any communication - AFP with the outside world.

Foreign Minister Bob Carr said most Australians would agree Ms Corby had the right to put her case before parole authorities.

“We’ve advised Indonesian authorities the Australian government supports the granting of parole to Ms Corby,” he said in a statement yesterday.

“This letter of guarantee – backed by strict reporting requirements – is necessary in order for the parole application to proceed.”

Corby was convicted in 2005 for attempting to smuggle four kilograms of cannabis into Bali in a bodyboard bag.

Her 20-year sentence was slashed by five years when she was granted clemency by Indonesian President Yudhoyono last May on humanitarian grounds, after claiming she was suffering from a mental illness that could endanger her life.

Senator Carr said the process of granting parole was independent of government.

• 900 pigs in river Chinese officials say they have fished out 900 dead pigs from a Shanghai river that is a water source for city residents. Officials are investigating where the pigs came from. A statement posted at the weekend on the city’s Agriculture Committee’s website says they haven’t found any evidence that the pigs were dumped into the river or of any animal epidemic.

The statement says the city and Songjiang district governments started retrieving the pigs on Friday night. By late Saturday afternoon they had recovered and disposed of more than 900.

• Bees attack kids A swarm of bees has attacked a group of children leaving 44 injured after a visit to a park in South Africa. About 80 pre-schoolers were waiting to board a bus after playing at a park outside Johannesburg when “things went drastically wrong,” ambulance service spokesman Chris Botha said.

“A swarm of bees came out of nowhere and attacked the children,” Botha said. Four children, aged two to six, were in a critical condition, and another 40 were injured in the attack.

• Toll rises to 61

Schapelle Corby Australia would impose several requirements on Corby for her to meet the guarantee.

These were regular reporting by Corby to the Australian consulate in Bali, the Indonesian government to hold any passport or travel documents and assurances on matters such as where she would stay in the Asian nation.

The 35-year-old would have to serve the rest of her term, due to finish in January 2017, in Bali if parole was - AAP granted.

Clashes between Filipino militants and security forces in Borneo have left 61 people dead, officials say.

Police Chief Ismail Omar also announced the capture of 79 militia troops out of the 200 that invaded the Malaysian state of Sabah last week. The sultan of Jolo, the Filipino Jamalul Kiram III, declared a ceasefire last week after several days of fighting between his followers and Malaysian troops. In early February, the sultan of Jolo sent his followers to this part of Borneo after learning that his claims on the territory had been left out of the peace pact reached in October between the Filipino government and the Moro National Liberation Front, the main Filipino separatist group.

Lost in time in Zipolite, Mexico Jody Kurash went looking for a laid-back beach holiday in an area where it would appear time had forgotten. Her wishes were answered in Zipolite, Mexico.

“

You’re going to like it here in Zipolite,” Daniel Weiner, the owner of Brisa Marina hotel said with a wry smile as he handed me the keys to my quarters.

“You’re not going to want to leave in five days.”

A few lazy days later, I began to realise why so many guests rent their rooms by the month.

Whether it’s the laid-back vibe or the tranquil setting, Zipolite has a way of making people stay longer than expected.

A sleepy town with one main street and no ATMs, Zipolite (pronounced ZEE-poe-LEEtay) is one of many tiny coastal pueblos that dot the Pacific in Mexico’s Southern state of Oaxaca. Stretching from Puerto Escondido to Huatulco, the region is sometimes called the Oaxaca Riviera.

The hippie crowd discovered Zipolite in the 1960s and since then it has slowly evolved into an offbeat tourist spot popular with a certain type of visitor.

Its pristine beach stretches two kilometres between two high cliffs at either end, and the crowd is fairly evenly split between middle-class Mexicans and free-wheeling liberals from across the globe. Old hippies, young adventure-seekers, and locals all mingle with a flowerchild type harmony.

It feels light years away from the areas of Mexico that tourists now avoid due to drug violence.

Not only has the US State Department spared Oaxaca from its travel warnings about Mexico, but Zipolite in particular seems lost in time, a place where visitors think nothing of leaving their belongings unattended on the beach and backpackers sleep in hammocks strung along the coast.

Zipolite also has a few claims to fame. The climactic beach scenes in the Mexican

blockbuster movie Y Tu Mama Tambien, were filmed here.

And it’s gained notoriety as one of Mexico’s few nude beaches, although the majority of sunbathers remain clothed. (Farther east, past an outcropping of rocks is the cove known as Playa de Amor where nudity is more openly practised.)

Mike Bolli, a retiree from Vancouver, Canada, says he has been visiting the area for the last 10 years without “accident, issue or injury”.

“I have only ever met the nicest and friendliest eclectic mix of locals and visitors — it’s a great throwback to the ‘60s,” Bolli said. “So it’s all good and safe from my viewpoint.”

Zipolite has no high-rise hotels. Many of the beachfront structures are thatched-roof palapas, umbrella-shaped huts with no walls. Brisa Marina itself started off as a wooden structure with a palm roof, but after a major fire in 2001 that destroyed 23 buildings, Weiner rebuilt it with cement.

Visitors expecting a party-allnight Cancun-like atmosphere with fishbowl-sized margaritas and waitresses in bikinis passing out shots of tequila will be disappointed. There is a night life here, but it’s nothing like that. Instead, folks gather on the beach in an end-of-day ritual to watch the brilliant sunsets.

Many restaurants and bars offer live music and entertainment. And the only paved road in town turns into a carnival-like scene at night, with artists and jewellery makers selling their wares, while musicians, jugglers and fire dancers perform for tips in the street.

“Zipolite after six is awesome,” Bolli said, “with all the dreadlocked kids hoping to sell their creations along with a great choice of different restaurants.

It’s not overcrowded but you can find a crowd if you want.”

Some of the most interesting diversions can found at Posada Mexico, an oceanfront restaurant. One night I watched a Cirque du Soleil-like acrobatic performance and another night I rocked out to Cainn Cruz, an amazing child guitar prodigy who brought the house down with his covers of Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and AC/DC. Adding to the groovy ambience is Shambhala, a spiritual retreat perched high on a hill in a bucolic setting.

Tourists are welcome to hike up the resort’s stair pathway where a meditation point sits atop a cliff overlooking the Pacific. Shambhala advertises the Loma de Meditacion as a sacred location where visitors may experience a higher consciousness and oneness with nature. The centre rents rustic cabins and hosts visiting artists and healers.

The name Zipolite is said to derive from indigenous languages. Some sources say it means “bumpy place,” a reference to the local hills, and other sources translate it as “beach of the dead,” a reference to strong ocean currents. The beach has volunteer lifeguards and areas with dangerous currents are marked with red flags.

Weiner, who has a deep tan, a working uniform of board shorts and flip-flops, and a crusty, carefree sense of humour, splits his time between California and Zipolite. He’s owned his hotel since 1997 and estimates that about 50 per cent of his guests are repeat customers.

“This gets us through swine flu times, protests, drug war scares, etc,” he said. “People come back knowing we are OK, and they tell their friends too.”

And sometimes they have a

hard time leaving. As Weiner predicted, after a few days in Zipolite, I called the airline to change my flight. I had to stay another week.

If you go ...

ZIPOLITE, MEXICO: Beach town in Oaxaca on the Pacific, http://mexicobeaches.net/ zipolite/ GETTING THERE: The closest airports are Puerto Escondido, an hour’s drive west, or Huatulco, an hour south.

You can take a bus or taxi from either airport. The closest bus station is in Pochutla, 20 minutes away by taxi or shuttle.

MONEY: The closest ATM is in nearby Puerto Angel, 10 minutes by taxi. The nearest bank is in Potchutla. Most hotels will accept and/or exchange US dollars or euros.

LODGING: Brisa Marina offers oceanfront rooms with balconies and hammocks as well as less expensive courtyard options.

Guests can also relax on the large beachfront ramada (shaded outdoor area). Nightly rates range from 200-650 pesos ($16$51) depending on the season, http://www.brisamarina.org .

A spiritual retreat, Shambhala, offers lodging on the hill at the western end of the beach, http://shambhalavision.tripod. com/id2.html .

DINING: Zipolite is home to an impressive variety of quality restaurants with many beachfront choices, including several authentic pizzerias and trattorias, thanks to a number of Italian expats residing locally. For a romantic candlelit experience on the beach with entertainment, try the restaurant at the Posada Mexico inn. You can enjoy the entertainment without dining there by spreading your blanket on the sand nearby.

ARIES (Mar 21st Apr 20th) Today’s New Moon occurs in quite a sensitive part of your solar horoscope, and if you feel you have been up against it when it comes to dealing with hard to read situations, politics or your own lack of confidence, it would not be a total surprise. Yet be assured, the arrival of your ruler Mars in your sign tomorrow will start to catapult you forwards more positively.

TAURUS (Apr 21st May 21st) Even if you’ve changed your mind about certain friendships and hopes this month, there’s still a lot for you to look forward to. And anyway, your social situation may have fallen victim to an unintended mix-up or misunderstanding. News today however, can help you to feel much more upbeat. Indeed you could soon receive an interesting invite.

GEMINI (May 22nd Jun 21st) Sometimes when things don’t pan out as we expect, we can think the fates are against us. Often when we look back we can see a bigger reason and this helps us to keep our perspective and keep fighting. This could be true of an on-off situation which has blighted your thinking of late.

Yet a friend or a group of people can provide a great new option.

CANCER (Jun 22nd - Jul 23rd) Mercury’s retrograde has probably created a few glitches around your travel plans or an agreement which has been slow to shape up. Either way, your determination to overcome any obstacles is going to step up hugely for the rest of this month and today’s New Moon can also help you to get the information and insights you need to power on.

LEO (Jul 24th - Aug 23rd) We all have pride but, being a Leo, pride is not just your family but your desire to be admired and respected at all times. Yet don’t let this stop you from forging any kind of new bond, be it personal or in business. To get the greatest benefits you may need to accept and appreciate another person’s input and not feel threatened by it.

“It’s why more people are choosing McGregors”

LIBRA (Sep 24th Oct 23rd) Are you spending too much time being a people-pleaser? If so, use today’s New Moon to try to create a better balance between the giving and the getting that goes on in your life. Laudable as it is to help people, look to create better ways to organise your own life and create more strands of activity which look out for your own welfare. Healer, heal thyself.

SCORPIO (Oct 24th - Nov 22nd) Mercury’s current and recent retrograde may have created some frustrations but your sign is better placed to counter this with a wonderful New Moon today. Yet this is also a week when you can inject greater vitality into your creative plans, and with application these can become something more lasting. Go dazzle, Scorpio, your flame burns brightly.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23rd - Dec 21st) Continue to work hard at the emotional elements of your life.

There may be something you haven’t been able to say that needs saying, or conversely, a person close to you may need greater support. Don’t ignore the need for nurturing at any level. However, this is a week when Mars is set to give you more physical vitality and added passion power too.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22nd - Jan 20th) Some conversations may have gone brilliantly recently whilst others have gone much more awry.

As you think all this through, take solace from the people who are on your wavelength. Yet do consider if you could yet sharpen up your listening skills or if you could work harder at expressing yourself more effectively, especially with a sibling.

AQUARIUS (Jan 21st - Feb 19th) You may not be completely satisfied with how your finances have panned out and may still be chasing money owed or trying to balance the budget.

However, what no-one can take away from you are the unique values you bring to situations and expressing these is going to get easier. In fact, soon your voice will be heard, even if not everyone wants to hear.

PISCES (Feb 20th Mar 20th) Today’s Pisces New Moon is a great opportunity to connect to the things that are important to you, and take them forwards with gusto.

You may also decide that you are ready for some kind of personal makeover and a new look can give you extra confidence.

Also be determined to overcome any obstacles which have held you back of late.

Potential new recruits Lisa Clarke and Kathryn Gray ask questions of Ashburton Rowing Club secretary Helen Hodge at the Open day yesterday.

Giving rowing a go

By Jonathan Leask

A hardy handful of potential new recruits braved a bit of drizzle for the Ashburton Rowing Club Open day at Lake Hood on Sunday.

The open day was aimed at attracting potential new members to the club, giving them a go in the boat. “We had five potential new members turn

up along with the existing club members,� club captain Chris Redmond said. “It doesn’t sound like all that many, but it was enough for us to be able to handle.�

The club had been hopeful of at least getting a few people along and although the weather may have turned a few away, they were pleased with getting a few new recruits on board. “We had two ladies who came on behalf

of a group, the others couldn’t make it out of bed, but they were confident they could become regulars which is what we were after.�

Despite only a few turning up the club have been convinced of moving forward with regular Sunday sculling sessions from 9-11am. “As long as we get the numbers we can maintain for coaching and for the number of boats it makes sense.�

Wooden spoon beckons

By Daniel Richardson The Wellington Phoenix could find themselves in the bizarre position of grabbing this season’s A-League wooden spoon, while boasting the golden boot winner on their roster.

Chris Greenacre’s men fell to a 2-1 loss to the league-leading Western Sydney Wanderers at Parramatta Stadium last night but gun striker Jeremy Brockie still managed to find his way on to the score sheet.

The defeat left the Phoenix at the foot of the A-ladder with two games to play but Brockie joined Central Coast Mariners forward Daniel McBreen at the front of the golden boot race with 15 goals this season.

Wellington came in to the game without striker Stein Huysegems, who was suspended after being sent off against the Melbourne Heart last weekend and his place was taken by Spaniard Dani Sanchez as Corey Gameiro played higher up the field.

The home side got in to their work early on and when Phoenix left back Tony Lochhead fouled Youssouf Hersi, the referee correctly pointed to the spot and awarded a penalty.

Marquee man Shinji Ono then made no mistake as he sent Phoenix goalkeeper Glen Moss the wrong way and the Phoenix found themselves down 1-0 after only seven minutes.

Conceding the early goal seemed to spark the Wellingtonians, who are notoriously poor across the Tasman, and they were duly rewarded when Brockie latched on to a Leo Bertos cross to draw the sides

Jeremy Brockie: aiming to be golden boot winner despite being in the worst team in the competition

level mid-way through the first spell.

Brockie has a frustrating habit of drifting in and out of games, but it’s hard to deny his nose for goal and the All Whites utility has proven to be an inspired buy after he joined the Phoenix on a three-year deal from the Newcastle Jets at the start of the season.

Wellington enjoyed a power of possession throughout the rest of the first spell but as has been one of their major issues all season they failed to make use of the ball to find a go-ahead goal.

Both sides went to the sheds with a goal each to their credit but the game took a turn for the worse for the visitors almost immediately after the second half had begun.

Phoenix midfielder Vince Lia gave away a bizarre penalty when he inexplicably stuck his arm out and made contact with a Western Sydney cross, which gave Wanderers skipper Mark Bridge the

chance to put the A-League newcomers back in to the lead.

Moss was given another chance to be a hero but he was unable to deny Bridge who ensured the Wanderers now have a five-point lead at the top of the A-League standings with three rounds to go as they banked their ninth straight win.

Brockie could have taken an outright lead in the golden boot in the final minutes but his shot on the turn found the crossbar rather than the back of the net.

The Phoenix, who have already played their round 26 game as it clashes with upcoming World Cup qualifiers for the All Whites, meet Perth next weekend in Western Australia before they round out their disappointing campaign with a home outing against Melbourne Victory on March 31.

Star colt to miss Randwick Guineas

By Warwick Barr Glamour three-year-old Pierro will miss the Randwick Guineas and will make his next Sydney autumn carnival appearance against older

horses, the Gai Waterhouse stable has confirmed.

“The plan at this stage is not to run in the Guineas and he will be saved for the Canterbury Stakes,” Tulloch Lodge spokesman Mark Newnham told AAP.

The $350,000 Canterbury Stakes is a weight-for-age race sprint race run over 1300m run at Rosehill on Saturday week.

Waterhouse’s decision to keep Pierro for the Canterbury Stakes sets up a likely clash with the stable’s

champion race mare More Joyous.

Perry runs with the Bulls Tim Perry got arguably the toughest introduction to Super rugby as the young prop made his debut against the Bulls at Eden Park in Auckland yesterday.

Perry was up against a vaunted, physically-dominating Bulls pack with coach Sir John Kirwan expecting a physical challenge, and he got one.

Kirwan rang the changes following a perfect start to the season and the new boys were thrown in to face the fellow unbeaten Bulls in a move to keep his squad fresh, a curious selection process given the fact the Blues have a bye next weekend.

Perry was making his debut alongside winger Waisake Naholo and flanker Kane Barrett, while in the number 10 Baden Kerr played only his second Super Rugby match.

It was a tough day for all, although they certainly didn’t disgrace themselves.

The Bulls took a 15-6 halftime lead through tries to their wings Lionel Mapoe and Akona Ndungane.

No8 Pierre Spies went close for a third as the half counted down.

After a static opening 40 minutes in which the Blues made too many mistakes, although they had their chances too, the match jumped into life in the second half.

Frank Halai’s leg drive put the Blues close and Piutau finished on the left, converted by Kerr.

The Blues were back in the lead but straight away the Bulls responded through flanker Arno Botha, who scored after extraordinarily good handling skills from reserve prop Werner Kruger, who

juggled the ball by his laces.

Halfback Jano Vermaak went agonisingly close for the Bulls in the right corner, only to drop the ball, before Rene Ranger’s long-range stunner with four minutes to go narrowed the gap to 25-21 and set the match up for a barnstorming finish.

However, a Steyn penalty on fulltime sealed it for his team.

Although they responded well to their early setbacks, there was a sense of what might have been for the Blues.

Another couple of eyebrow-raising decisions from Kirwan was his replacing of halfback Piri Weepu and prop Charlie Faumuina, just as the Blues were beginning to get a toe-hold in the game.

The Bulls’ win, their first at Eden Park, represented a South African trifecta over New Zealand teams this weekend after the Cheetahs beat the Highlanders and the Stormers beat the Chiefs.

All victories were based on forward power - set piece dominance - and taking charge of the collisions, all of which made for a tough introduction for Perry.

Blues (Charles Piutau, Rene Ranger tries; Baden Kerr con, 3 pens) Bulls (Lionel Mapoe, Akona Ndungane, Arno Botha tries; Morne Steyn 2 cons, 3 pens) HT: 15-6.

When an athlete comes up against their old team they always seem to somehow find another level of performance.

That was the case again yesterday for New Zealand Breakers guard Daryl Corletto who scored a team-high 20 points to lead the Kiwi hoopsters past the Melbourne Tigers 79-74 at the Hisense Arena in Victoria.

Corletto, who played for the Tigers from 2001-2011 before he was unceremoniously cut loose to make room for Patty Mills during the NBA lockout, joined the Breakers ahead of the 2011-2012 season and hasn’t looked back since.

The 31-year-old shot five from six from the floor during the first half, including three of four from beyond the arc as the Breakers took a 53-32 lead with them into the changing rooms at the game’s main break.

Melbourne, who were without point guard and former NBA player Jonny Flynn due to a foot injury, only trailed by one point after the first quarter but the Breakers put the foot down during the second stanza.

The Tigers had nine turnovers in the first half and the Breakers made them pay as they scored frequently from the freebies.

Melbourne fought their way back in to the game during the third quarter as they won the period 22-14 and they moved to within 10

David Pocock’s shattering season-ending knee injury has opened a fascinating battle for the Wallabies’ openside breakaway role against the British and Irish Lions in June. Scans confirmed 24-year-old Pocock suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee and faces a reconstruction sidelining him for at least six months.

He sustained the injury during the Brumbies’ 35-6 trouncing of the NSW Waratahs on Saturday night. “Not the best news with the scan. I’m going to have to see the surgeon Monday. Really appreciate all the tweets,” Pocock wrote on Twitter. It’s a big blow for the Wallabies, who have not only lost their marquee breakaway for the British and Irish Lions series and subsequent Rugby Championship but possibly also their captain. - AAP

points in the fourth quarter before Breakers coach Andrej Lemanis reinstated his starters to the floor to finish the job.

Down by only four with seven minutes left, the Tigers began to believe they could force an upset and they tied the scores at 70-70 with only five minutes to play.

The Breakers tried hard to throw the game away as they struggled to make plays down the stretch, and were held to only 12 points in the fourth quarter.

But if the Breakers tried hard to lose then the Tigers showed even less interest in taking the game themselves as they failed to pull down a string of important rebounds in the final few minutes.

During a frenetic final flourish, power forward Mika Vukona made a clutch lay-up and added a free throw to give the Breakers a fivepoint lead with less than a minute to play.

The closing act was then played out by who else but Corletto as he drained two free throws with six seconds left to seal his former team’s fate.

The victory was the 15th straight by the Breakers as they locked up the Australian NBL minor premiership with two games to go in the regular season.

by Tom Williams Carlos Tevez made light of his arrest for a driving offence to lead Manchester City into the FA Cup semi-finals with a hat-trick in a leisurely 5-0 win at home to secondtier Barnsley yesterday.

Tevez was arrested for allegedly driving while disqualified on Thursday, an offence that carries a maximum six-month jail term, but he scored three times and made two goals at the Etihad Stadium as City joined Wigan in the FA Cup’s last four.

Barnsley, who last reached the semi-finals in 2009, came to Manchester intending to defend en masse but their resistance was broken inside 11 minutes.

Yaya Toure found David Silva with a delightful flicked pass over the top and when Barnsley goalkeeper Luke Steele pushed the Spaniard’s volley onto the post, Tevez was on hand to tuck the ball home.

The Argentine created his side’s second goal in the 27th minute, tearing into the Barnsley box and rolling a deliciously weighted pass square for Aleksandar Kolarov, who found the bottom-right corner.

Tevez made it 3-0 four minutes later, gathering Silva’s cut-back and spinning before beating Steele with a low shot from close range.

five minutes into the second half and saw Tevez guide a low shot into the bottom-right corner after a gambolling run and cross from Samir Nasri.

Silva hit the hosts’ fifth in the 65th minute, following in to score after Steele had saved his initial effort, with Tevez again supplying the assist.

Earlier, Wigan shocked Everton 3-0 at Goodison Park to book a place in the semi-finals for the first time in the club’s history.

Roberto Martinez’s side are currently threatened with relegation from the Premier League, while Everton are gunning for a top-four finish, but the Latics upset the form-book with a performance as superb as it was unexpected.

Wigan chairman Dave Whelan broke his leg while playing for Blackburn Rovers in the 1960 FA Cup final, and Martinez said: “You could sense that in the dressing room - everyone wanted to see the chairman at Wembley.”

Wigan’s three goals arrived within a devastating four-minute spell during the first half.

Two of Barnsley’s fellow Championship sides, Millwall and Blackburn Rovers were facing off in the third quarter-final on Sunday, before the stand-out tie of the last eight between Manchester United and Chelsea at Old Trafford.

But that success was tempered by the injury to veteran Habana, South Africa’s alltime leading try-scorer in Tests and Super Rugby, who was carried off when hurt in a tackle in the 55th minute.The Stormers scored three tries, leaving them one short of a bonus point while the Chiefs collected two bonus points, for scoring four tries and losing by less than eight. - AFP

• Hopkins grabs record Bernard Hopkins set a new mark as the oldest boxer to win a major world championship, breaking his own record by beating Tavoris Cloud at the age of 48. Hopkins scored a unanimous 12-round decision in Brooklyn, New York on Saturday night to dethrone the pr eviously unbeaten Cloud, who is 17 years his junior, for the International Boxing Federation’s light heavyweight title. “The 40 and up club still rules,” Hopkins said. “I got a history of destroying young champions and you never seen them again.” Hopkins was 46 in 2011 when he beat Canada’s Jean Pascal to win the World Boxing Council light-heavyweight crown.

ASHBURTON GUARDIAN, Monday, March 11, 2013

By Andrew Alderson New Zealand can consider themselves moral victors after the first test draw against England.

The world’s eighth ranked team exceeded expectations by dominating more than they were dominated against the No 2. The onus goes on them to sustain that form when the second test starts in Wellington on Thursday.

New Zealand has only won one series in 17 against England at home; further such history can be made.

Consistency was the hallmark of the team’s Dunedin performance, although they will be irked by an inability to take 20 wickets for a third consecutive test after failing to dismiss South Africa in January.

Regardless, it was hard to blame the bowlers at the University Oval.

After razing England for 167 in the first innings they were confronted with a placid pitch on which to do the same on days four and five.

Effort was not lacking. The same four specialist bowlers should be given a chance to repeat their tenacity at the Basin Reserve.

However, slight doubts must have seeped in as to how nightwatchman Steve Finn lasted 284 minutes on his way to 56.

England captain Alastair Cook was relieved with their escape.

“It gives us confidence, especially when you get bowled out cheaply in the first innings.

“To bounce back straight away when you’ve got such a mountain of time to bat was pleasing.”

With Tim Southee and Trent Boult presumably guaranteed places in New Zealand’s first XI, Neil Wagner’s performance faced scrutiny. He passed muster on his home ground with the best figures of four for 42 in the first innings and specifically with a spell of eight overs, two for 20 in the second where he dismissed Jonathan Trott and Kevin Pietersen.

Wagner never gave up on his way to bowling 43 overs and taking three for 141.

Martin should also be retained.

There was enough evidence in his first innings’ four for 43 to suggest there is a place for left-arm ortho-

dox bowling against the six out of seven right-handers in England’s top order. His 41 runs in the lower order helped too.

Captain Brendon McCullum was impressed with his attack.

“I thought the bowlers were huge to bowl as well as they did for as long as they did on a pretty unresponsive pitch. They will be stiff and sore but they tried to bowl us to a win and that’s exactly what you want.

“Neil was phenomenal and Bruce was smart in that first innings when there wasn’t much there for him.

“He applied enough pressure to lead England into dismissals.”

The New Zealand cricketer likely to benefit least from the performance is Doug Bracewell. A decision will be made on his fitness this morning after injuring his foot cleaning up after a party, but he will struggle to oust the incumbents. His record over 12 months, starting with South Africa’s visit last summer is 25 wickets at 44.84 in 11 tests.

New Zealand’s batting looked after itself. Fears over Jimmy Anderson’s swing and Finn’s bounce were misplaced.

They could return if, as expected, there is a harder, grassier pitch at Wellington.

The opening partnership question is resolved - at least for now - and the middle order looked settled getting starts, even if only McCullum progressed beyond 50.

McCullum paid tribute to Hamish Rutherford.

“It’s a dream debut in an area where we’ve struggled. It wasn’t just the [171] runs it was how he made them. To have someone score at that clip put us into a position in a four-day test where we could push for a result.”

In contrast, England’s first innings failure faces further examination, despite responding in the second.

Kevin Pietersen is struggling with scores of 14, 8, 0 and 12 on tour so far. He might extricate himself from the odd controversy every now and then but he has proven his class is permanent.

New Zealand should be wary.

Pietersen is suffering a sore right knee but is expected to be fit for - HOS the second test.

Coldstream’s Regan Broker reacts to the run-out of Tech Sharks batsman Sam Hurley in Mid Canterbury senior cricket’s Muirhead Rosebowl semifinal on Saturday.

Sharks close on elusive title

By Jonathan Leask The Tech Sharks meet Lauriston in the Muirhead Rosebowl final on the Ashburton Domain Oval.

The Sharks maintained their unbeaten run in 45 over cricket to be chasing a clean sweep of the major trophies, falling short in the final game last season against Allenton, but Lauriston took Allenton out of this year’s equation.

Lauriston produced a fightback with the ball to complete a 33-run win over Allenton to line up the Sharks this weekend.

Tech Sharks v Coldstream The Sharks accounted for Coldstream with what has become

trademark bowling display, stifling the visitors.

After being bowled out for low totals batting first in both of their previous meetings, the Coldstream side had no hesitation in putting the Sharks in to bat first after winning the toss.

Sam Hurley led the way with 65 and Morgan Gallagher made 35 as the Sharks compiled 201 all out in the 41st over.

Coldstream’s Dan McCloy made a comeback in the closing stages to finish with 3/27.

Coldstream hadn’t made over 100 against the Sharks this season but they got off to a solid start with 46 from Regan Broker, but the Sharks bowlers got on top and despite 29 from McCloy,

There were plenty of new names and some new found determination for Penrith, the 2012 NRL strugglers starting off the season in the best possible fashion with a comprehensive 32-10 victory over Canberra at Centrebet Stadium yesterday.

With the biggest recruitment drive in the NRL in the off-season, few people knew what to expect from the Panthers who finished 15th last year.

And the loss in 2012 of stars Luke Lewis, Michael Gordon and Michael Jennings hardly helped.

But the early indications for this season were good.

Containing no fewer than seven new recruits in the 17-man squad for their season opener, the Panthers started and finished well against the 2013 semifinalists.

The home side dominated possession and field position for much of the game, laying on five tries to two in hot conditions before a vocal home crowd of 10,882.

Sika Manu, James Segeyaro, Lachlan Coote, Nathan Smith and Nigel Plum all scored tries for the Panthers.

Josh McCrone and Blake Ferguson touched down for the Raiders.

With a heavy influx of recruits including try-scorers Manu and Segeyaro, Penrith

Coldstream were all out for 141.

Ben Mably picked up 3/32 as the Sharks advanced to their fifth straight final with the 60-run victory.

Lauriston v Allenton Lauriston advanced to the final with a 33-run win over Allenton after they put decent total on the board and produced the bowling effort to defend it.

Lauriston opener Scott Morgan anchored the innings with 87, sharing a 61-run second wicket stand with Bevan Richan who made 31.

Rob Hooper made 22 and Bevan Ravenscroft 21 at the end to steer the hosts to 229-8.

Warriors let Eels slip away

By Michael Burgess Eels 40 Warriors 10.

New year, new coach, new beginning - same old result.

Despite all the talk of a rebirth under Matthew Elliott and the massive investment in support staff and equipment, on this early evidence there are danger signs for Warriors HQ. Both sides in this match had talked of rebuilding. The Eels looked a completely different side to last year’s strugglers but the Warriors bore a worrying resemblance to their 2012 selves.

The visitors had came into this match as slight favourites. They had won six of the last eight clashes against the Eels and the arrival of Dane Nielsen and Todd Lowrie give them the stronger roster on paper.

That impression lasted about ten minutes.

At times, it was hard to see what had changed from 2012.

Remember, they were taking on last year’s wooden spooners.

showed they will not be easybeats under coach Ivan Cleary who was typically understated after the victory.

“It was very good to get a win,” Cleary said. “We just hung in there ... it was quite a team performance in that regard.”

On the flipside the Raiders were hugely disappointing.

With stars Josh Dugan (lip infection) and Jarrod Croker (knee) cleared to play after being in doubt earlier in the week, plenty was expected given the Raiders’ strong finish to 2012.

But the visitors failed to deliver and despite remaining in striking distance for long stages of the match, never really looked like sealing the deal.

Coach David Furner said his side simply gave up too much possession.

“If you cough up that much ball you are going to be doing a lot of tackling,” he said.

“We gave them too many opportunities down our end.

“But I thought those tries at the end didn’t reflect the effort of our defence.”

Panthers skipper Kevin Kingston said his side had worked together well given it was such a new collection of players.

“There are no egos, they have all worked so hard and that has flowed through the group,” he said. “Segeyaro and Manu both scored tries, that was a reflection of that.”

Penrith halfback Luke Walsh was on song with the boot, kicking six from six.

Meanwhile, Melbourne underlined their status as NRL reigning premiers with an emphatic 30-10 win over St George Illawarra in their opening round clash at AAMI Park.

The Storm ran in three unanswered tries in the first half to set up the victory, with star fullback Billy Slater first on the scoreboard.

Dashing centre Justin O’Neill finished with two tries, scoring one in each half.

With the temperature 30 degrees-plus the Storm further turned up the heat on the Dragons, who haven’t won in Melbourne since 1999.

Slater and fellow big guns Cooper Cronk and skipper Cameron Smith played their usual leading hands, while young forwards such as prop Jesse Bromwich and debutant Tohu Harris impressed.

The Dragons did well to close the gap to 24-10 late in the game as winger Jason Nightingale caught the defence short out wide.

But the Storm delivered a knock-out punch with six minutes remaining when the ball went through nine sets of hands.

O’Neill could have dived across for a hat-trick but he sent the ball on to rising star Mahe Fonua.

Compounding the disappointment for the visitors, centre Chase Stanley was assisted from the field with what appeared to be a knee injury.

amassing 369-7, were full of confidence and made a strong start with the bat.

Josh Worsfold made 28 and Mark Andrew 23 to get the visitors off to a solid start before Liam McLeod and Matt Tait combined for an 87-run fourth wicket partnership.

McLeod finished up on 61 and Tait 50, but from the strong position of 181/5 Allenton crumbled.

The Lauriston bowlers piled on the pressure and took the last five wickets for just 15 runs After their valuable additions with the bat Ravenscroft and Hooper did the job with the ball.

Hooper took 3/31 from his nine overs and Ravenscroft helped finish off the tail for figures of 3/22 of eight overs.

Hampstead has final say

By Jonathan Leask The Open A grade tennis season finished with a friendly hit out before the silverware was dished out on Saturday.

Hampstead’s Tom Deeley, Joseph Langley, Ben Deeley and William Blacklow had claimed the Mid Canterbury Shield for taking out the first round, where they suffered only one loss to Fairton.

In the second round Fairton’s Peter Leonard, Rebecca Robinson, Phil Crozier and Bradley Chisnall went on to lift the Athol Taylor Memorial Trophy, finishing one point ahead of Hampstead and Dorie.

On the final day of the season on Saturday Allenton had the last laugh getting a 4-2 win over Fairton while Hampstead beat Methven 4-1.

By Jonathan Leask Dragon boats battled it out for South Island supremacy at Lake Hood yesterday, and the only thing lacking was local.

Lake Hood has hosted the dragon boats since 2009 and the numbers were up this year with 21 crews on the water, but there was still an absence of a Mid Canterbury crew.

“Despite the weather we had a brilliant day with more boats on the water than last year which was nice, but there was still no local boat,” Aoraki Dragon Boat president Meri Gibson said.

“I guess it’s a bit hard with us being based in Christchurch to drive a local crew but it would be nice to get a Mid Canterbury boat competing next year, considering they have such a great venue here.”

“We had some big crowds on the banks with a lot of locals coming along for a look, so there is some local interest.”

For a second year-in-a-row in the open grade the Tu Meke Dragons were too powerful, claiming a clean sweep of all three distances on the lake where they claimed two national titles out of the three distances last year.

“We had some pretty good racing and even a few crashes in the 2km races, where the boats have to turn around at the 1km mark.”

The Nationals are in Rotorua in two weeks’ time but the beat of the dragon boat drum will return to Lake Hood next year for the South Islands and then the nationals in March.

Snow at his Illinois base prevented the pitcher from working outside until he got to New Zealand, but his form this week has been vintage.

After impressing in relief against Australia in Friday’s first playoff game, Manley battled a severe bout of food poisoning to toss seven innings without allowing a run on Saturday against Venezuela as his side advanced to the tournament showpiece.

The South Americans - playing in the memory of late president Hugo Chavez - set up the rematch by upsetting Australia in yesterday morning’s bronze medal match, before Manley ensured history repeated with another commanding performance.

After allowing a run in the first, Manley settled down and struck out six Venezuelan batters while allowing just four hits.

“Jeremy pitched a hell of a game for us and kept us in it,” Casely said.

“And we had 17 other guys in there as well that kept pushing us through.”

The Black Sox bats went to work on overhauling the early deficit in the bottom half of the first, with singles from Tyson Byrne and Brad Rona putting two men on with one out.

But Donny Hale grounded out and, after a pitching change, Rhys

By Kris Shannon New Zealand have won a record sixth world softball championship after another masterful pitching performance from Jeremy Manley shut down Venezuela in yesterday’s final.

The Black Sox claimed their first title since 2004 by beating the South Americans 4-1 at Rosedale Park in Albany, with Manley tossing his second straight complete game.

Captain Rhys Casely came up with the big hit, a three-run home run in the third, while catcher Patrick Shannon also homered.

“It’s pretty surreal at the moment,” Casely said.

“It hasn’t really sunk in - I think it will take a couple of weeks - but I’m just really proud of the guys, the way they hung in there all week.”

For New Zealand, their fourth championship in the last five events made up for the disappointment of losing to Australia in the final of the previous edition, while Venezuela can console themselves with their country’s first medal at a world championship.

Pitching was a question mark for coach Eddie Kohlhase’s team heading into the tournament, exemplified

by Manley’s struggles with a knee recovering from surgery.

Braden Currie recorded another win over Richard Ushher in defending his Motatapu Xterra title on Saturday.

Currie outgunned five time winner Ussher in last month’s Coast to Coast and continued his top form, blitzing the field on the mountains to finish almost seven minutes ahead of Ussher.

It was billed as a two horse race, and that was exactly what unfolded.

Currie trailed Ussher out of the 2km swim but hauled him in on the 47km mountain bike before powering home over the 15km mountain trail run to finish in 3 hours 50.13 minutes, just over a minute outside his record time in last year’s event of 3hr 48.05mins.

Ussher was second in a time of 3hr 57.43 with the next best competitor Matt Backler of Tauranga crossing the finish line in 4hr 11.53mins.

Currie’s win means he again qualifies for the World Xterra Championships in Hawaii in October, where he finished 17th overall to Ussher’s 24th placing.

Ben Enoka’s single was erased when Thomas Makea grounded into a double play, but Shannon then hit a two-out shot over the right field fence to make it 1-1.

Pitcher Jeremy Manley was the hero for New Zealand in yesterday’s final

The pitcher came to regret his lack of command when, after Daniel Milne worked a walk, Casely made amends for his earlier strikeout by jacking a two-out three-run homer to centre field to make it 4-1.

The captain also drove in a vital second run against Venezuela on Saturday, making his mark on a tournament he was in danger of missing.

A persistent shoulder injury has seen his play restricted throughout the week, and he has seen very limited time in the field, but he stepped up yesterday to all but clinch the championship.

Casely said the hit made up for all the weeks of rehab, even if he wasn’t looking to make such a defining contribution when at the plate.

“It was certainly nice.

“I wasn’t looking to hit a home run - I was just looking to make solid contact after I struck out the first time.

“I was just happy to put good wood on the bat and get one out.”

Nathan Nukunuku was inches away from making the result certain the following inning, with his deep fly ball caught at the fence, but Manley was pitching like a three-run lead would be more than enough.

And so it proved, with Manley tossing a perfect seventh to spark wild celebrations on the mound.
