THE INDEPENDENT VOICE OF MID CANTERBURY
Cows, farmers under pressure BY MYLES HUME
MYLES.H@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ
Mid Canterbury farmers were focusing on the welfare of their stock yesterday, while trying not to think about the millions of dollars worth of damage and loss of income after Tuesday’s storm. Dairy farmers were left vulnerable without power and water for a second day, as they scrambled to avoid their stock from drying off or contracting illnesses. Millions of dollars worth of damaged irrigators, up to 800 in Canterbury, may take four months to repair, as farmers pray for rain to prevent the situation from becoming severe. All Mid Canterbury should have power restored by tonight, but there will be individual households who may have to wait longer. Hinds sharemilker Reino Esterhuyse labelled it “a national emergency”. Since Tuesday, his cows had missed four milking sessions, as fears grew over drying off and mastitis, which could hamper milk production. But he was offered reprieve yesterday afternoon when Federated Farmers sourced a generator to milk his herd. His cattle were forced to drink from a limited stock water race, and two centre pivots had been
damaged in the wild wind to add to financial worries. “The most important thing is the welfare of the animals and everything comes after that . . . it’s stressful and a bit of a mind game at the moment,” Mr Esterhuyse said. Federated Farmers adverse events spokesperson Katie Milne did not rule out working with authorities to declare the storm a national disaster if rain stayed away and irrigators remained out of action. “It’s not going to be an easy fix, and it’s going to take time. It’s critical for the economy. “With this loss of milk now, some farmers carry business interruption insurance and they’ll have to talk to their providers, and there may be a bit of interruption with milk pick ups and I know with dairy companies if there is a problem they will pick up the cost.” One Fairton farmer told the Guardian he had thrown away 30,000 litres of milk because he could not keep it chilled due to limited power from a generator. Ms Milne urged farmers to be flexible with milking herds, reducing milking to once a day or twice in three days. Sharing generators, feeding calves with powdered or discarded milk, and touching base with ECan if they needed stock to access water ways to remain

hydrated were also possibilities, she said. Mid Canterbury Rural Support Trust coordinator Allan Baird said generators had been sourced from the West Coast and Cromwell and ACL contractors were delivering water across the district as animal welfare remained priority. He said farmers who needed assistance should contact him or Angela Hogg at Ashburton’s Federated Farmers office on 03 307 8145 or 0800 327 646.
Hinds sharemilker Reino Esterhuyse has been worried about not being able to milk his cows.

2 Swim lesson appeal rejected
A German federal court has rejected an appeal by a Muslim schoolgirl who wanted to skip swimming lessons because she was uncomfortable being close to bare-chested boys in the pool. The Federal Administrative Court in the eastern city of Leipzig said the girl could wear a fullbody swimsuit known as a “burkini” to help maintain her religious beliefs. It argued that in the summer, outside of school, men also went about bare-chested and school could not suppress the “social reality”. The girl, originally from Morocco but going to school in the western German city of Frankfurt, had refused to take part in swimming lessons when she was 11 and had been marked down accordingly.
A 13-year-old boy who took a photo of his genitals and sent it to his school mates could be placed on a sex offenders’ register, the South Australian parliament has been told. Independent MP Bob Such raised the issue and said he believed the boy took the picture in question with a school iPad. The teenager has since been reported by police for producing and disseminating child exploitation material. The case showed the current laws, which placed sex offenders on a register and restricted their future work and activities, were flawed, Dr Such said. He and called on the government to make changes.

Codeine causing a headache The painkiller codeine is proving to be a major headache for doctors and patients. The more of the drug people take, the worse their pain gets, according to a University of Adelaide study. And the people with the worst side-effects are those with chronic headaches. “In the long term it has the effect of worsening the problem rather than making it better,” says PhD student Jacinta Johnson, whose study compares codeine with morphine. Both drugs are opioids but morphine is more potent and seldom prescribed to outpatients.

5 Molasses killing fish
Thousands of fish are expected to die in Honolulu waters after a leaky pipe caused 1400 tonnes of molasses to ooze into the harbour and kill marine life, state officials said. Hundreds of fish have been collected so far, the state Department of Health said. Many more fish are expected to die and thousands will likely be collected, it said. The fish are dying because the high concentration of molasses is making it difficult for them to breathe, said department spokeswoman Janice Okubo. Television footage showed some fish sticking their mouths out of the water.

■ POWER RESTORATION
Massive task for lines crews By Sue NewmaN
sue.n@theguardian.co.nz
A massive effort by lines crews from EA Networks should see power restored to most parts of the Ashburton District by tonight. Tuesday’s windstorm knocked out power to most rural areas as trees fell across lines and felled power poles. Effecting immediate repairs, however was impossible for staff because of the dangerous conditions, EA Networks networks manager Brendon Quinn said. Initial estimates were that it would take until late Saturday before power was restored to outlying areas, but two solid days work by lines teams meant the timeframe had been shortened he said. While power should be restored to all areas of the district by tonight, Mr Quinn said this work involved network lines only. On-property repairs on private properties where lines were down would often not be carried out until the network was restored. This could mean some consumers will still be without power for another day or two. Lines supervisor Rob Coyle and his team were out on Maronan Road yesterday afternoon replacing two poles, wires and a cross arm near the Tinwald Rugby grounds. He and his team were part of a 60-plus strong team of lines staff working their way around the district and they’re putting in some long hours, but that’s just part of the job, Mr Coyle said. “We’ll just keep on at it until we get the nucleus of the network back up.” People around the district are being pretty patient as they wait their turn in the reconnection line, probably because they’re

no newcomers to losing power during weather events, he said. It was quite common for motorists to stop and ask ‘how long’, he said. When told it might be another day, most were pretty philosophical. High priority lists today are Lowcliffe, Staveley, the foothills,
Dromore, Winslow, Kyle and Elgin with the aim of having power restored to all of these areas tonight. Work would then begin on individuals who were still out because trees had fallen over lines on their properties, Mr Coyle said.

■ STORM AFTERMATH
Stories of destruction, escapes
“
By Sue NewmaN
sue.n@theguardian.co.nz
As the mop-up from Tuesday’s wind storm continues across the Ashburton District stories of miraculous escapes and devastation of property are mounting. A Chertsey couple had a lucky escape after two silos on their farm became airborne, with one smashing into the side of their home. The couple, who did not want to be named, are thankful they were away from home during the height of the storm. They were shocked, however, to arrive home to find a silo embedded in the house. Another silo had become airborne and had flown over the house, landing on the lawn on the other side. The two silos were in a clus-

still creating problems around the district with the Ashburton Hakatere River trail closed until after the weekend. Ashburton District Council open spaces manager David Askin said he had assessed the trail and considered it was unsafe for use until repair and clearance work had been done. “Our team is currently focusing on clearing access ways and paths in the district’s parks and our key priority at the moment as well is ensuring our stock-
water races are functioning,” he said. Two stockwater intakes had been blocked by fallen trees but these are now clear and Mr Askin anticipates the race system will now be flowing freely. His team also has a big clean up job in the Ashburton Domain where six very large trees have fallen and also in the Tinwald Domain. “There’s a lot of branches around but this is nowhere like the big wind in 1975.”
The council-owned old polytech building on Cameron Street lost part of its roof on Tuesday but that has now been made secure while a long term solution to its roofing woes is found, council assets manager John Rooney said. Garage doors were also a victim of the big wind, with Dominator owner Brian Downes fielding a steady stream of calls from home owners whose doors were either wrecked or had simply disappeared. “The calls were coming in from town yesterday and now they’re from the country areas. “They’ve moved up another notch today.” By mid morning yesterday he’d fielded about 40 calls. “There’s nothing that would have stood up to that kind of wind,” he said.
SOS sent overseas for help to fix irrigators By myleS Hume
myles.h@theguardian.co.nz
Experts from the US and Australia may be flown into Mid Canterbury to repair millions of dollars worth of damage to ripped apart irrigation systems. Irrigation centre pivots, hundreds of metres long, were no match for Tuesday night’s wild weather, which toppled over irrigation systems and left some Mid Canterbury farmers with no other way to water their crops and pasture. Irrigation New Zealand said an unprecedented 800 Canterbury irrigation systems had been damaged. Plains Irrigators owner Liz Stephens had fielded more than 50 calls since the storm, as her business now looks to assess the damage before putting a plan in place to prioritise jobs and repair the damage. She said it could take months before some farmers would have their irrigators repaired. “We have already got three workers coming on board in Ashburton, and then we are going to try and organise some skilled crews from America to come in and help,” Ms Stephens said. Federated Farmers dairy chair Willy Leferink said experts from Australia were also expected. Rainer Irrigation’s Gavin Briggs said his company alone was aware of 260 centre pivot spans lying on the ground and another 30 pivots across Canterbury that have lost key components. He described the situation as “a logistical nightmare” as the irrigation season approaches.

“Many farmers don’t have backup systems for effluent and were relying on centre pivots to do the job. It’s a disaster.” Irrigation NZ boss Andrew
Curtis echoed similar concerns. “The extent of damage to centre pivots and other irrigators across the region is unprecedented ... we simply don’t have
enough parts to repair all of these machines in New Zealand. “We’re looking at a six to eight week time lag before parts arrive and then a similar time-
frame before repairs can be completed. If we experience a dry spring, the consequences could be dire for many Canterbury farmers.”

■ STORM AFTERMATH
Generators a lifeline in emergency situations By myleS Hume

Wind destroys council forests By Sue NewmaN
sue.n@theguardian.co.nz
The Ashburton District Council has lost a significant amount of its forestry assets, with some plantations beyond salvage. District forester Terry O’Neill has inspected many of the plantations and was stunned by what he found. “Some were just totalled. The very young trees are okay but anything over nine metres has
been in the firing line,” he said. Several years ago the council had a clean up of its older trees and with most plantations now in younger pines the ability to salvage timber out of the wreckage was limited, Mr O’Neill said. “It’s taken out so much stuff we can’t do anything with, it’s too young to salvage. “Generally you can get in and salvage it if they are older trees
and your losses are minimal, but we’re still assessing the value of what’s been destroyed.” Some blocks of trees were completely “munted”, he said. The council was also dealing with issues around its trees having taken out power lines and neighbouring farmers’ fences. In addition to clearing its own fallen trees, council staff have been working to clear
trees that had fallen across the district’s roads. Late yesterday Coldstream Road south east of Emersons Road, Boundary Road from Tilsons to Coldstream Road, Fox to Lochheads Road and Winslow Road from Lovetts to Winslow Westerfield Road were still closed and traffic diversions were in place. Many other roads are open but with obstructions in places.
ECan gives permission to access waterways By myleS Hume
Myles.h@theguardian.co.nz
Environment Canterbury has responded to the dire situation some Mid Canterbury dairy farmers have found themselves in since wild winds battered the region on Tuesday. It has allowed farmers, who are not able to provide normal stock water due to power outages, to access waterways to ensure animals remain hydrated. It has laid down strict rules for farmers to access waterways
after all other avenues have been exhausted, which include: • Considering the sensitivity of the waterway and avoiding those areas that are of highest value or most prone to damage. • Minimising the length of bank or bed that stock have access to. • Using other equipment such as tractor-driven pumps or tankers to deliver water from streams to stock on the farm. If farmers use water for stock
from a waterway they must advise ECan. Federated Farmers adversity events spokesperson Katie Milne praised ECan for making the decision, saying animal welfare was the most important aspect for farmers right now. “They have to be careful how they go about it, put a wire up so cattle can’t go straight in and they have to notify them,” she said. “Cattle go mad when they’re dehydrated - they will bust out
and get to it but being under control and doing it this way is definitely for the best.” Also, dairy farmers who have not had milk collected should discharge the milk to land through diary shed irrigation systems, ECan said. Farmers should take all possible steps to prevent milk or effluent getting into waterways and avoid overloading or saturating soils with milk. Dairy farmers can contact ECan on 0800 324 636.
Last remnants of storm head east, out to sea By Teuila FuaTai Aucklanders can look forward to a balmy day today, with yesterday’s wet weather now heading east. The worst of the blustery gales and heavy rain which battered much of lower New Zealand in the past two days was expected to clear overnight and this morning. MetService meteorologist John Law said those on the East
Cape and in northern parts of Gisborne were likely to have the last remnants of the stormy weather this morning but “the worst of it had passed”. Heavy rain in central New Zealand between Taihape and Taupo should also clear overnight. Those in the South Island and in Wellington should also expect calm weather. However, temperatures in Canterbury, where thousands
of people are still without power, were expected to cool, with daytime temperatures around 13°C and night-time temperatures down towards freezing. Christchurch electricity lines company Orion said about 9000 people were still without power yesetrday afternoon. Most were in the rural region west of Christchurch. However, some smaller areas within Christchurch city were also affected. Chief executive Rob Jamieson
said power had been restored to all the company’s major rural substations apart from one in the Burnham area. “We expect it will take another two days to get the high voltage supply back to that substation,” he said. He also warned some customers could remain without power until Monday due to the “severity and extent of the damage” from this week’s wild weather. - APNZ
With power still cut to rural areas of Mid Canterbury today, Federated Farmers dairy chair Willy Leferink hopes it will prompt more farmers to invest in generators. Several dairy farmers across the district have been concerned over the welfare of stock as they have been left stranded without generators to milk cattle or supply stock water. Six generators from Westport and Cromwell have been brought into Mid Canterbury for needy farmers. Many farmers have had to share with neighbours to keep on top of milking their herd and supply water to stock and milking sheds. “I think if anything, this new year’s resolution should be to get a generator,” Mr Leferink said. The 2011 earthquakes had helped farmers better prepare for adversary, he said, but more farmers needed to invest in generators to ensure their multi-million dollar businesses did not suffer. “We have had a long time with no power outages, you only have the odd one ... but there’s a lot more power lines now than years ago that are more powerful which means higher safety requirements and more time,” he said. Power is expected to return to all areas across Mid Canterbury tonight, with only a handful of individual households predicted to still be without electricity. CRT Ashburton branch manager Michelle Hagan said she had received a significant spike in orders with 10 farmers asking for generators following the storm. Fairton sharemilker Will Grayling said it was vital he had a generator to continue milking the herd, which would otherwise have been left distressed and susceptible to mastitis. “You can talk about irrigation but the animals are the priority at the moment,” he said. Mid Canterbury Rural Support Trust co-ordinator Allan Baird urged farmers who needed generators to contact:

■ MAINSTREAMING
Controversial move ‘working’ By Myles HuMe
myles.h@theguardian.co.nz
A Mid Canterbury principal who took in a child from a shut down residential school for pupils with extreme learning difficulties claims a controversial move to put them into mainstream education is working. The principal, who did not want to be named to protect the identity of the child, said the pupil appeared to be progressing well in mainstream education after being forced to leave a residential school that provided 24-hour care for them. Last year the Ministry of Education closed the doors on McKenzie and Salisbury residential schools, which catered for children with severe behavioural issues. Since then, Salisbury has won a court battle to remain open, but some pupils have been left to integrate into mainstream

education and supported with a newly developed “intensive wraparound service”. “This particular child is okay with the services around them, but it is early days yet. “I think they were always going to be temporarily in a residential school but I think it’s about seeing the individual needs,” the Mid Canterbury principal said. While not delving into the issues the child had, the principal said they were “at school every day, we have put things in place and suggested ways we think the funding could be used for an
extra teacher aide and other resources around the school”. Ministry of Education special needs group manager Brian Coffey said the new intensive wraparound service had helped lift attendance for the troubled pupils from 40 per cent to 80 per cent in mainstream education. He said providing the service, by tapping into mentors, teacher aides and school resources, cost the Government $32,000 per child as opposed to $80,000 in residential school care. “That means we are able to provide a wrap around service
for more children,” he said. Youngsters are referred to the intensive wraparound service by education authorities, with the child undergoing an assessment before an individualised plan is developed. That could include further training for the classroom teacher, extra resourcing for the child or moving to one of the few residential schools still open. However, Ashburton Borough principal Sam Winterbourn, who once taught at McKenzie Residential School, remained sceptical of the move, questioning how children with extreme needs in rural schools would fare. He said residential schools worked with New Zealand’s children with the highest needs, and believed their care would be diluted in a mainstream school environment.

Appeals over the proposed Bathurst mine on the Denniston Plateau have become so complicated, the West Coast Regional Council does not know whether to laugh or cry. Consents and compliance manager Jackie Adams summed up just one of the cases at the council meeting this week. “The High Court refused to allow Forest and Bird to appeal to the Court of Appeal so they appealed the decision. They are appealing the right to appeal to the Court of Appeal.” After some laughter, councillors expressed their displeasure. Cr Terry Archer; one of the hearing commissioners who heard the original application; said it was an “orchestrated campaign to stop lawfully consented work”. - APNZ

■ BIOSECURITY THREAT
Black Seed route didn’t include Line Road As Mid Canterbury farmers come to terms with a biosecurity breach that resulted in black grass being spilled on rural roads, there has been concern raised over the possible route the seed had taken. A map in Tuesday’s Guardian outlined that route, but the information provided gave an incorrect road as part of that route. The vehicle carrying the contaminated seed turned into the MethvenChertsey Road when it left Lyndhurst Road not into Line Road. The Ministry of Primary Industries (MPI) has fielded several calls from farmers on Line Road concerned that their properties may have been affected, but the seed had not been dispersed in that area. The banned seed arrived in New Zealand in a consignment of fescue seed imported from Denmark. While the contaminated fescue seed was being transported to a Methven seed cleaning plant on a flat deck truck some of the seed blew out of unsealed containers. There are now concerns that the area between Tinwald and the seed cleaning

The Methven Public Library will suffer its final indignity tomorrow, when it is pushed to the ground. Demolition of the building is planned for the weekend, and is likely to be Saturday morning, alongside that of another historical building in the town, the Methven Historical Society. The library is 130 years old, but was closed after being damaged in the Canterbury earthquakes. Then a drunk driver smashed through it in 2011, and finally this week’s windstorm blew bricks from a side wall. One of the library committee members involved with organisation of the demolition said yesterday that after the long battle for the right to demolish the building, the actual demolition would take hardly any time at all. “There’s not much left,” he said.
“There won’t be a lot in it, because it’s just a shell of a building basically.” Committee members had not wanted to demolish it, but the suggestion from the New Zealand Historic Places Trust of saving the building and adding a museum on the back would have cost close to a million dollars. He was grateful to contractors who had donated their time, including Blackwell’s which had removed a hedge and Harmer Earthmoving and Logging which would undertake the demolitions. Harmer’s spokesperson John Harmer said last night the company had been busy with clean up jobs after this week’s windstorm, but all was looking good for the demolitions to be undertaken on Saturday morning. He expected both buildings would be gone by mid-afternoon.

TOMORROW
National spring clean Sunday Ashburton’s motorhome enthusiasts will be out in force on Sunday cleaning up the streets and roads around town. The New Zealand Motorhome Association is undertaking a national spring clean for its members as a way of giving back to their communities. Member Derek Howden is hoping there will be a good turn out of local members to help spruce up several hot
spots around town. He’s asking willing workers to meet at the Tinwald saleyards at 9.30am and from there they will be put into work teams. Areas targeted in the clean up will be the west side of the Tinwald side of the Ashburton River Bridge, the dog exercise area off William Street and an area along State Highway One north of the layby area.

■ CANTERBURY UNIVERSITY
In brief
Ranking sits well with students By Myles HuMe
myles.h@theguardian.co.nz
Ashburton students studying at the University of Canterbury hope its ranking as the 238th best university in the world will open the door to further job opportunities. The 2013 ranking from London-based Quacquarelli Symonds found the University of Canterbury, where many Mid Canterbury school leavers go, to be in the top three per cent of universities in the world, dropping slightly from 221st last year to 238th. University of Auckland was the top ranked university from
New Zealand, however it fell from 83rd to 94th position, while the University of Otago was ranked 94th. Ashburton College’s 2012 head boy George McDonald is in his first year at the University of Canterbury, studying a Bachelor in Commerce and Law. He was surprised by the ranking, but, more importantly, he hoped it would create a solid platform for him to launch into the real world. “That’s the reason why we are here, to get a job. To know your degree may rate higher in the market place compared with other people - it’s pretty good to
know you may be the cut above.” Former Ashburton College pupil Lexie Leadley is in her third year working towards a Bachelor of Commerce, majoring in human resource management. She recently secured an internship and would not return if that led to a full-time job. “I love it, I think it’s a really good learning environment here,” she said. Meanwhile, Victoria University dropped to 265th-equal from 237th, Massey University is down to 343rd-equal from 308th, and University of Waikato is in a range from 401-
410 from last year’s ranking of 374th. University of Canterbury vice-chancellor Dr Rod Carr said the university had taken a hit from the quakes, but said it was positive to maintain its place in the top three per cent. “We have responded rapidly with so much activity progressing and developing student engagement, curriculum review and facilities on campus. Today we have 14,000 students, including a record number of new and continuing PhD students, 1900 full-time equivalent staff and have offered over 1200 courses this year,” he said.

The body of Stephen John Murphy, 36, was found in the river on Tuesday by friends who had been searching for him after he was last seen nine days earlier. Mr Murphy was last seen by his sister on September 1. Before that he had been at a friend’s house, police said. - APNZ

bridge. This compared to about 9000 last year. The reason for the higher population last year was that some birds could have relocated here after a fresh on one of the larger rivers. She said strong winds this
week would cause high River levels, and could impact on the bird breeding success this year. “You can understand why there’s a decline (in the species), because they have to withstand what nature does to them, as well as human interaction.”
The latter included predators, weed infestation of river beds and disturbance of nesting sites from recreational activities. People are reminded to stay off the Ashburton River bed from now through to January, to allow the birds to nest.
■ EVENT FUNDING
Free financial assistance for community events If you’re planning to stage a community event, Experience Mid Canterbury might be able to provide some financial assistance. Each year the Ashburton District council provides the tourism body with $20,000 that it can allocate to event organisers wishing to hold events within the Ashburton District.

Police were scouring areas in Kamo and Kensington after The Vegie Twins, at the corner of Kamo Rd and Percy St, was robbed of a reasonable amount of cash about 7pm on Wednesday. A singlebarrel firearm was used but police weren’t sure whether it was real or fake. A young man pointed the gun at a shop assistant before fleeing with cash. - APNZ

Dozens of critically endangered black billed gulls have moved into the Ashburton Domain this week, becoming friendly with the resident ducks. The domain population is part of a town avian invasion, as the gulls have dominated the west Ashburton skyline and decorated footpaths with white splotches. However, it is likely the world’s rarest gulls will soon move on, back to the Ashburton River to set up their nests and begin their breeding season. Indeed it appears many have already decided to leave the township. Thousands of the gulls traditionally arrive on the river each spring, but have an unsettled period before they begin nesting. Forest and Bird Ashburton branch chairperson Edith Smith said the birds were courting and mating, and while they may appear friendly with the ducks at the domain, the two species were in fact happily ignoring each other. “I don’t think they probably bother each other,” she said. She said about 1500 of the birds had arrived on the river last month, at their nesting site near the State Highway One

It’s the highest the Whanganui River has been all year. - APNZ

We lead the way in food safety By Sue NewmaN
sue.n@theguardian.co.nz
Ashburton is one of New Zealand’s leaders when it comes to adopting new industry standard for food outlets, food control plans. While the plans have yet to become mandatory, Ashburton District Council regulatory
manager Rick Catchpowle said there had been a real willingness in the local food industry for people to adopt the new monitoring system. The district has 175 food operators on its books and of those 155 have an A grade, 19 are B grade and one new premise is still to be graded. Of
those, 48 are now working with food control plans and that puts Ashburton among the top 10 districts in New Zealand for up take, Mr Catchpowle said. “And that’s good because the food control plans are here to stay. They put the onus back with the operator and they’re able to streamline their plan to
fit their own business. They enable us to work together to minimise risk. Operators can ring us and say they’ve got a problem and ask if we can help them find a solution.” Under the current regulations where food premises were inspected and then graded out of 20, it wasn’t always easy for
a very good operator to achieve a 100 per cent pass mark. They could be marked down simply because their premise was older, Mr Catchpowle said. An A grade requires 18 out of 20 but it was easy for marks to be lost for something that could be outside the operator’s control, he said.
■ LIONS 50TH ANNIVERSARY
Lions behind a host of community projects By Sue NewmaN
sue.n@theguardian.co.nz
It’s been half a century since 32 men became the charter members of Ashburton’s first Lions Club. And this weekend, today’s members celebrate the foresight of the men who laid the foundation of that club on September 14, 1963. The new organisation didn’t waste any time in becoming involved in community activities, staging a five-day floral exhibition in March the next year. The proceeds from this event went to the Centennial Hall Committee for the building now known as the Sports Hall. That was just the start of what was to become a long run of projects that would benefit the Ashburton District such as raising more than 5500 pounds, which with a pound for pound Government subsidy was sufficient to build the first pensioner units in Ashburton on Suffolk Street. This project earned Ashburton’s Lions the Ron Usmar Trophy for the best project in New Zealand. Other projects included a sponsored walk that raised $9000, the restoration of the old town clock now the Ashburton clock tower, the development of the rest area north of Ashburton, raising money for a new ambulance and raising money for several big ticket pieces of equipment at Ashburton Hospital. The club also helped fund the upgrading of the Tinwald Swimming pool, the Ashburton Domain pavilion and the massive millennium sock project that saw 6000 pairs of socks sold and $48,000 raised. Over the years Ashburton’s Lions have been involved in youth projects and in 1988 started an annual youth award and supports young people to attend a range of youth camps. As the years ticked by the range of projects undertaken by successive Lions Club members grew and today across the community there are countless buildings, organisations and projects that owe their existence to the organisation. The club’s membership has

ranged from 22 to a peak of 68 in the early 1990s. Today it has settled at about 55. As the club matured, some of its older members felt they should retire, but the club created a new membership category – Retired Lion – to keep them part of the Lions network. One of the club’s charter members, Eric Ingram has now notched up a record of 50 years attendance at Lions meetings and he, along with Alan McIntosh, are the last two charter members of the club. Ashburton’s club has been responsible for chartering several other clubs around the Ashburton District – Pakeke, Methven, Rakaia and Ashburton County. With the Mayfield and Hinds groups the Ashburton District is now one of the strongest Lions’ strongholds in New Zealand. This weekend the club is celebrating its 50th birthday with about 120 present and past

OUR VIEW
Tall order for Labour Coen Lammers EDITOR
T
he Labour Party this weekend plans to announce its new leader and start a fresh campaign to push the National Party out of office. The media interest and excitement among the Labour faithful during the recent leadership election road show has been huge and has given the three candidates substantial exposure. Many Kiwis would have known little about current deputy Grant Roberston, Shane Jones, aside from his ancient porn bill scandal, or even David Cunliffe, who mainly had only hit the headlines in recent times for his failed coup attempt. Their two-week campaign around the country to become Labour leader has given the opposition party arguably more exposure than they would get during a general election. Whether that exposure will have a positive effect on the centre New Zealand remains to be seen. Convincing your Labour members is one thing, convincing the general public that you are a better Prime Minister than John Key is an entirely different kettle of fish. The incumbent PM has been quick to point out that the leadership roadshow has created interest among the faithful but also highlighted potential divisions within the party. It is hard to believe that the three candidates will all join in a big hug on Sunday, pledge allegiance to the new leader and sing Kumbaya, after three weeks of campaigning on their differences. The crux of their messages to the Labour membership focused on who would be the best leader for the party and the best person to tackle John Key. Sadly, among this internal navel gazing, the candidates failed to hit the headlines with new ideas and initiatives that would really challenge the current Government. The new Labour leader may have the charm or intellect to take on Mr Key, but their personal skills will mean little to middle New Zealand unless their policies offer a real alternative. And if the power struggle continues after Sunday, the biggest winner of this leadership contest could be the Greens who may just become an appealing alternative to traditional Labour voters.
YOUR VIEW Performance pay In response to Peter Livingstone’s (Sept 12 letter to the editor) raising concerns that teachers have not had an opportunity to say what they think about performance pay. During the last round of negotiations, primary teachers were asked several times by NZEI Te Riu Roa about what they wanted in their collective agreement. At these meetings teachers endorsed a skills based pay model The Advanced Classroom Expertise Teacher (ACET) and rejected any changes based on performance pay. The key aspect of the ACET skills based programme is that teachers who can demonstrate the qualities that make a teacher great – experience, creativity, passion and how they inspire students – will get recognition.
The aim is to allow great teachers to stay in the classroom instead of the need to move into a managerial position in order to further their career. It has been widely and openly discussed amongst teachers and principals for some time. The ACET rollout will identify individual teachers who have shown that they are bringing extra quality teaching and learning into the classroom. The ACET is strongly linked to quality teaching, not to narrow and unfair results such as national standards that do not give any indication of the quality of teaching. The best way to provide all children with a great education is for teachers to work collaboratively and share ideas. Education does not thrive when teachers and schools work in competition with one another. This is backed by a just-released
CRUMB by David Fletcher
Massey University study which slams the Treasury competition model of “performance pay”. Performance pay does not provide “recognition of individual skills, knowledge, flair, passion, efforts and self-betterment.” as Mr Livingstone suggests, but rather creates competition and resentment within the profession. That’s why teachers have given their union the clear message that they don’t want “performance pay”, rather they want a model that enhances collaborative teaching. And that’s why they favour the ACET system of recognising quality teaching based on real teaching expertise, not false and misleading data such as national standards.

T
he poor buggers! That’s how I felt when I saw the story of the young couple Daniel and Bianca and their wee daughter Shelby losing their home to fire last week. If it’s not tough enough for a young couple starting out in life already then to pretty much lose everything in the fire must be incredibly tough to deal with. I wasn’t sure what I was going to find when I asked Daniel and Bianca into the studio for a chat. Were they going to be stressed out wrecks? I was impressed with their resilience; they were obviously gutted but also thankful that no one had got hurt or worse in the fire. The incident throws up some issues. As asked by a listener, when I said I was doing some auctions to raise money for the couple: “Why should those of us who

pay for our own insurance help people who don’t help themselves”? I can totally understand where the listener was coming from. Then I thought about my first flatting experience and quite often groceries weren’t on the list of priorities let alone insurance. It’s not just home owners who need insurance cover but also tenants, so young people considering flatting need to get good advice before they venture into it. We’ve seen the TV ads, never leave something frying on the stove top unattended. It’s a fine line between negligence and an accident sometimes! And the biggy for me, there are so many people out there who could do with a helping hand, where do you draw the line? I guess all I can do is throw it out there and let the people decide. Once again I was blown away by the generosity of Mid Cantabrians, three quick-fire auctions (thanks to James from Mt Hutt) and we raised just under $500. I then had a lady contact me

It was dead but he still asked all the passengers to leave the car and closed it off. Once at the end of the line, he placed the shark in a rubbish bag and put it in the trash. Since then funny photos of a 4 foot long, grey shark on the subway have appeared on social media sites.

■ SYRIA
In brief
Army rejects chemical plan The rebel Free Syrian Army has categorically rejected a Russian proposal for placing Syria’s chemical arms under international control, and called for regime officials to be brought to justice. The Syrian National Coalition opposition group also questioned the initiative, saying it is a “political manoeuvre aimed at buying time” for the regime of President Bashar alAssad. “The Free Syrian Army announces its categorical rejection of the Russian initiative that foresees placing chemical weapons under international control,” FSA military commander General Selim Idriss said in a video posted on YouTube yesterday. Idriss told world powers they should not “be satisfied only by removing the chemical weapon, which is the tool of a crime, but judge the author of the crime before the International Criminal Court, who has clearly acknowledged possessing it and agreed to get rid of it.” Questioning the motives for the initiative by Russia, a close ally of Assad, the Coalition’s statement also said it would be unacceptable unless it “called to account the crimes against the Syrian people.” And any measures should be adopted under Chapter VII of the UN Charter, which allows for possible military measures. It said that if the “response to Syria of the international community is not efficient and effective, Iran, North Korea and the militia of Hezbollah (Lebanon’s powerful Shi’ite movement and an Assad ally) will consider it a green light to manufacture and use chemical weapons.” Idriss also called on countries backing the 30-month uprising against Assad to increase the supply of arms to the rebels so that they can “continue to liberate the country”. And he exhorted his fighters

Alabama-born Omar Hamami - better known as Al-Amriki or “the American” - was one of the most prominent foreigners fighting in Somalia, and the US State Department had offered a $US5 million bounty for his capture. - AFP
Baby had 40 injuries A baby had about 40 cuts, bruises and fractures over his body when discovered by his mother following a break-in at their Victorian home. Casey Veal found her 11-monthold son Zayden Veal unresponsive in blood-stained sheets in his cot moments after realising their Bendigo home had been robbed as they slept. He died later in hospital. Pathologist Jacqueline Lee told the court Zayden had a minimum of 25 cuts and bruises to his face, likely caused by either a hand or a blunt instrument with either a pushing or striking motion. Harley Hicks, 20, of North Bendigo, has been charged with the murder of baby Zayden on June 15 last year. - AAP

to “intensify operations in all regions of the country”. The United States claims that the regime carried out chemical weapons strikes on a number of Damascus suburbs on August 21, killing more than 1400 people and threatened to carry out punitive strikes. Assad’s government denies that, saying it was rebels that did so. Russia on Monday announced a proposal under which Syria would turn over its chemical
weapons, and US President Barack Obama postponed any military action to consider the Russian initiative. The four-point plan, details of which were disclosed on Wednesday, would see Syria becoming a member of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, according to a report in Moscow. Syria would then have to declare the location of chemical weapons arsenals and, then allow OPCW inspectors to ex-
amine them and finally decide, in cooperation with the inspectors, how to destroy them. UN inspectors have already visited the sites of the alleged attacks in Damascus, and France has said their report will probably be issued on Monday. Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius told French radio Thursday “it will say that there was a chemical massacre” and that “there will certainly be indications” of the origin of the attack. - AFP

Football tragedy again in the spotlight
The scene at Hillsborough
American militant killed
South Yorkshire Police, Sheffield Wednesday football club, Sheffield City Council and the Football Association are being investigated for possible criminal culpability over the Hillsborough disaster. The disclosure was made by the senior detective leading an investigation into the tragedy, when 96 people died at the stadium in Sheffield on April
15, 1989. Jon Stoddart, former chief constable of the Durham force, told the Guardian that all four organisations were being investigated for possible gross negligence manslaughter. He said: “We are exploring all liability, both public and individual. We are looking at unlawful killing; who is responsible for the deaths.” He said more was being
looked at than command and control of the crowd. “It is about the safety of the stadium, certification, the planning and preparation, the engineering and design that went into the Leppings Lane end (where the people died).” The club offered to host the match despite serial breaches of the Home Office guide to ground safety. - PA
The publisher of Britain’s Sunday Mirror newspaper says it is being investigated for alleged phonehacking by former staff. Trinity Mirror said police were examining whether its subsidiary MGN Limited, which publishes its five national newspapers, could be held criminally liable over allegations that Sunday Mirror journalists illegally accessed celebrities’ voicemail messages. “The group does not accept wrongdoing within its business and takes these allegations seriously,” a Trinity Mirror spokesman said. - AFP
Assault numbers down Tougher conditions for drinkers and restrictions on licensed venues across NSW are driving a steady decline in alcohol related assaults, the state’s top crime statistician says. The latest figures from the NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics show assaults at licensed premises were stable over the last two years but have declined by about 7.9 per cent each year over the past five years. Before 2009, assault rates at licensed premises were rising. But governmentimposed restrictions, which started in Newcastle, have helped drop the frequency of boozed-up bashings, BOCSAR spokesman Don Weatherburn said. - AAP

Nna Alpha Onuoha, 29, was detained by members of the Los Angeles Joint Terrorism Task Force after triggering an alert at the airport. The airport was partially evacuated in response to the threat, the FBI said. When antiterrorism officers raided Onuoha’s apartment they discovered a note taped inside a cupboard reading: “09/11/2013 THERE WILL BE FIRE! FEAR! FEAR! FEAR!” said the affidavit. - AFP

Reserve Bank takes hawkish approach new loan-to-value (LVR) housing loan restrictions. “We think the market was positioned for a neutral outcome, expecting the LVR impact uncertainty to be emphasised,” Westpac said. The Reserve Bank said it expected the introduction of LVR restrictions to help to slow house price inflation. In the big picture, Governor Graeme Wheeler said the global economic outlook remained mixed. Economic growth in Australia and China had slowed and some emerging market currencies had come under downward pressure.

Dixon, SC, said Read was an “excellent practitioner” and “very well regarded in Tasmanian legal circles”. Read replaces former SFO chief executive and director Adam Feeley, who left last year, and takes over from Simon McArley, who has been acting chief executive since then. Read’s last role at ASIC was overseeing the conduct of the regulator’s litigation. Before joining ASIC she was an assistant director at the Office of the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions. State Service Commissioner Iain Rennie, who announced the appointment, said Read would lead the “Serious Fraud Office to actively monitor, investigate and prosecute so that serious fraud and corruption does not go undetected or unpunished”. - APNZ

Aussie ‘great fit’ as SFO leader The incoming boss of the Serious Fraud Office has a “strong pedigree in criminal prosecutions” and is a great fit for the job, says her counterpart at the Financial Markets Authority. Australian Julie Read will step into the top job at New Zealand’s fraud watchdog in October for a term of three years, it was announced this week. Read, who is moving to New Zealand from Hobart, spent the past 10 years working at the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC), which is the corporate regulator across the Tasman. Outgoing FMA chief executive Sean Hughes, who worked at ASIC with Read, was delighted at her appointment. “I’m delighted New Zealand has been able to attract someone of the talent, calibre and promise that Julie has. I have every con-

The New Zealand dollar rallied by about half a US cent after the Reserve Bank issued a more hawkish than expected monetary policy statement. The central bank left its official cash rate at 2.5 per cent but said it was likely to increase it next year. By 9.40am yesterday the Kiwi was at US81.26c, up from US80.80c just before the release of the bank’s official cash rate review and monetary policy statement. Dealers said it appeared the currency market was reacting to
confirmation from the Reserve Bank that it would begin tightening earlier than it had previously telegraphed. Westpac economists said the statement was more “hawkish” - or tough on inflation - than it had expected. The main surprises were a more explicit description of the start date for tightening and a significantly elevated 90-day interest rate projection, which implied a tightening start date of April next from July previously, Westpac said. Increasing activity and inflation pressures were noted, as was the uncertain impact of the

In brief

f David Huang had left his native Taiwan for Sweden a generation ago, he would have taken a giant leap into the unknown. Now, with the help of Skype, the 35-year-old businessman is able to reach relatives from his Stockholm home as easily as if they lived around the corner, and not half a world away.” Skype has made work easier, but more important than that, it has enabled me to talk to my family whenever I feel like it,” he says. Internet messaging service Skype, which celebrated its 10th anniversary last month, has shrunk the world in profound ways that few could have foreseen in 2003. A total of 300 million users make two billion minutes of online video calls a day. And in the surest sign of success, the brand name has been turned into a verb - a rare distinction shared by the likes of Xerox and Google. In another sign of success, Skype has spawned competitors with a host of similar technologies, most importantly Apple’s FaceTime. But revolutionary as Skype’s technology may seem, it didn’t start completely from scratch but built on existing communication technologies. “We already had cheap international calling using the internet,” says Martin Geddes, a leading Britain-based telecommunications consultant.” The significance of Skype was and is the ‘Wow!’ experience of high-definition voice, and the sense of ‘being there’ with your distant friends and family in a way not possible before.” Skype was launched in August 2003 by two Scandinavian technology entrepreneurs, Niklas Zennstroem of Sweden and Janus Friis of Denmark, who
Up in arms Consumer and industry groups have launched a new campaign against a proposed change to internet pricing they say is effectively a $600 million tax on broadband customers. Last month, Communications and IT Minister Amy Adams proposed setting Chorus’ wholesale charge for copper line services between $37.50 and $42.50 a month - the same price as faster fibre services, and up to $10 higher than the Commerce Commission’s proposal last year. The move followed complaints from Chorus that setting copper prices too low could dampen the uptake of fibre being rolled out as part of the Government’s $1.5 billion ultra-fast broadband scheme. - APNZ

It’s going to be utilised and put into more and more devices, videophones, devices for your kitchen, tablets as we mount them on cabinets,” says Michael Gough, author of the book Skype Me!. “I can see for example a home automation scenario, where you have a tablet in your kitchen, an Xbox Kinect in your living room, and you can literally be on a video call and it will follow you around the house. I can actually see that occurring.” - AAP
New Zealand’s top two worldranked universities, Auckland and Otago, have taken sharp drops in the latest annual QS World University rankings, although Auckland remains in the top 100 at 94th. Otago’s was the most precipitous fall, dropping 22 places to 155th ranking, while Auckland dropped 11 places from 83 in last year’s survey. On the bright side, all New Zealand universities are in the top 200, as measured by QS, although there are four Australian universities in the top 50 and every major Australian university ranks ahead of Auckland, bar Adelaide, on 104. - APNZ
Executed by DNA The US state of Oklahoma has executed a man convicted of rape and murder, who was connected to the crime 18 years later after advances in DNA technology. Anthony Banks, 61, was declared dead by lethal injection this week. Banks received a death sentence in 1999 for the murder of South Korean woman Sun “Kim” Travis, who was kidnapped from her Tulsa apartment parking lot on June 6, 1979. Travis, who was 24, was found raped and shot in the head several kilometres from her home, according to court documents. The case remained unsolved for nearly two decades until 1997 when investigators made charges based on DNA samples taken from Travis’s body and clothes, investigated using new techniques.

Durante eligible for All Whites New Zealand Football have received notification from FIFA confirming that Andrew Durante is eligible to play for New Zealand. FIFA launched disciplinary procedures against New Zealand Football in June after a
complaint was made concerning Durante’s appearance for the All Whites against the Solomon Islands in a FIFA 2014 World Cup Qualifier on March 26th. The FIFA disciplinary proceedings related to article 55 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code and
article 8 of the Regulations for 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil. “To have a final decision is very welcome, both for New Zealand Football and for Andrew,” said Fred de Jong, High Performance Director New Zealand Football.
“We were confident that Andrew met all of the necessary requirements to be eligible. “Andrew can now concentrate on his career with the All Whites and helping them to reach the FIFA 2014 World Cup Brazil.” - HOL

■ RUGBY
‘I’m no Richie’ BY PATRICK MCKENDRY Steve Hansen believes Sam Cane is ready for the toughest challenge of his short career on Saturday partly because he has the requisite mental toughness and ability to put things in perspective. It is a theme developed by the man himself, who stated yesterday as he prepared to take on a buoyant Springboks in what promises to be a blockbuster Rugby Championship test at Eden Park: “I’m not going to try to emulate Richie McCaw.” With the Boks one point ahead of the All Blacks, the winners will take a firm grasp of the Championship with two matches remaining in New Zealand’s case
two tricky away tests against the Pumas at La Plata and South Africa in Johannesburg. “He’s been the best in the world for a long time and he’s obviously the leader of this All Blacks team so it makes sense that there’s going to be a bit missing when he’s not out there, but all I can do is go out there and play my game,” Cane said. Asked whether New Zealand’s long list of excellent No7s - Graham Mourie, Michael Jones, Josh Kronfeld, McCaw et al - compounded the pressure and expectation, Cane said: “You put your own expectations on yourself and there are high expectations in this All Black environment so nothing really changes.” - APNZ

Naki boys confident BY JONATHAN LEASK
JONATHAN.L@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ
Taranaki’s win over Hawkes Bay to open the fourth round of the ITM Cup has them head into their Ranfurly Shield clash with Counties-Manukau full of confidence. After 24 failed attempts, Counties won the Shield for the first time last weekend prising it away from Hawkes Bay as the log-o-wood changed hands for the third time in three weeks. In their first defence in the union’s 58-year history Tana Umaga’s men will look to break the trend and keep the shield for at least second week but face a resurgent Taranaki. Tonight former Mid Canterbury prop Tim Perry resumes his starting role in the Tasman Makos front row against North Harbour at Albany while flanker Gary Redmond is again looking to come off the bench for the Makos. In the earlier game Manawatu meets Southland.
Saturday’s double header has two heavyweight rivalries. Waikato hosts the unbeaten Auckland. Waikato haven’t had a win since the opening round, a successful shield defence against Northland and they may be distracted by the opportunity to win the Ranfurly Shield back next week if Counties can keep it. After the northern franchise-base derby, Canterbury look for a fifth straight win against southern rivals Otago. Canterbury has lost flanker Matt Todd to All Black duty but have Tom Taylor at fullback returning from his injury picked up on his All Blacks debut, joining fellow All Black debutant Ryan Crotty in the five time defending champions backline. The Ranfurly Shield then goes on the line in Pukekohoe in Sunday’s first game before Hawkes Bay ends the round hosting Northland, featuring former Mid Canterbury prop Scott Vessey.
■ ASHBURTON GALLOPS
Track in top order for spring racing BY GREG JONES Spring racing in Canterbury starts with the Ashburton meeting today. Track conditions for racing will be the best since the early July meeting also held on the course, not so surprising because the track is well known for providing a great racing surface. With improved conditions, expect a few form reversals and some tired legs finding it difficult to keep up with those fresh or early in their campaigns. The track is currently rated a good 3 on the penetrometer. Racing begins at 1.03 and the seven race industry day concludes at 4.33. Race 1 is a competitive looking maiden 1600m event and Fullotrix, trained locally by Jan Hay may be the hardest to beat on some useful overall form. Local owner Norm Stewart will no doubt be leading the encouragement late in the race. The biggest dangers look to be Cos I Can a strong second last start that will appreciate the firmer track conditions, Honour and Cherish from the powerful Stokes stable and King Filou which has the services of top apprentice Ashley Frye. The boilover is the strapping mare Bonny Spring which will be much better suited to this trip. The maiden 1200m has a few promising debutants with winning trial form and any could turn up trumps with the right
run. Bomb, Bee Hapi and Southern Pride are the three of this brigade who are the most likely and the tote might give the best indication of their relative merits. Homeland has been very consistent and with more experience than the others will prove difficult to beat. Race 3 is another maiden 1200m and again winning trialists come up against two promising horses with race form. Warlock looks hardest to beat on the better footing and with Chris Johnson aboard. The champion/ Murphy stable have a promising gelding in Rule Breaker which should quit maidens shortly while Little Crackahs, The Right Answer and Oh So Famous all looked good winning at the Rangiora trials. Race 4 is the highest rating event of the day and the lovely mare Esquina appears wellplaced to retain her unbeaten sequence on the course. At her best she looks to have the measure of this field even though fresh up. Miss El Bee Dee has no course stats but is in form, while Halo Buster gave a good sight on course two weeks ago and is a chance of improving. Please Release Me is an improver after a good fresh up performance and Snowdon while running out of its grade has the potential to threaten as it has been scratched twice lately looking for the better racing surface. The benchmark 65 1400m event is hard to rate and an up-

In brief Grace in top company Methven swimmer Grace Sommerville has been selected to swim for the Southern Makos in next month’s inaugural national Zonal Championship in Wellington. The new one-day competition divides the country into four zone teams, with each comprising 20 swimmers junior (under 15) and 20 senior (16 years and over) swimmers with Sommerville named in the senior Makos team which incorporates the South Island. The new initiative is designed to put the best swimmers of each age group from throughout the country up against each other in a competition above club racing and will act as a pathway to international selection.
Golf courses battered All three major golf courses in Mid Canterbury are still facing a major clean up following the mid-week battering. The Ashburton, Methven and Tinwald clubs all remain closed and have Saturday pegged in for a clean-up hopeful of opening to their club members by Sunday. The winds that reached 130km/h uprooted trees at all three venues and left massive amounts of debris strewn over the greens and fairways leaving a big clean up job. The Ashburton Golf Course had just over 40 big trees felled by the wind causing the postponement of the Brandon vets Tournament on Thursday and the course was scheduled to be open by tomorrow.
Big fine for East Coast East Coast Rugby has been fined $3000 and will lose two competition points after a New Zealand Rugby panel found the provincial union guilty of fielding an ineligible player in the Heartland Championship this year. East Coast lock Everard Reid was found to have been ineligible to be classed as a local player, after he made a club rugby appearance for a Hawkes Bay club, outside the timeframe that would have allowed him to be classed as an East Coast local player. - APNZ
Tana gets suspended ban
Jan Hay has Fullotrix in the first on the card at Ashburton today.
set could be on the cards. Dragon’s Glory, Just Bolting and Shaspic will have their followers after recent winning efforts and all should be competitive again. Terelle didn’t handle the wet last time and will be better here while Champagne Katie looked good as an early 3yo and may be the best outsider. A nine horse field contests the maiden 2100m and on exposed form it can be narrowed down to three main chances. Forgotton Hero has been most consistent and has form at the distance making it hardest to beat. D’Chaparrel should appreciate this trip being by staying great High Chaparrel and would be another deserving winner after going close on a number of occasions. Prince Eden will utilise an apprentice claim and by all accounts is looking for firmer conditions
and the family has produced stayers before. The last is another open affair with a few backing up from a similar race two weeks ago. Both Flying Legend and China Bo Bo ran well for placings on that occasion and either could prevail. Mispatch has often given the impression that staying would be her forte and another top run is expected. Two outside the square are Messines from the Latta barn which looked more than useful in the autumn and Jimato which didn’t cope too well last week at Riccarton after leading but was considered good enough to tackle the NZ Oaks last season. Her first up run was better than it looked and a sharp winning trials effort followed that on a good track. Best Bet: Warlock (Race 3) Longshot: Jimato (R7)
Counties coach Tana Umaga has escaped any major sanction following a misconduct hearing for abusing referee Glen Jackson after his side’s 22-20 loss to Auckland at Eden Park on September 4. It was alleged that Umaga abused Jackson in the tunnel after the game and then entered the officials’ changing room where he continued his tirade before he was eventually removed. - APNZ
Plenty backing Boks It’s Eden Park’s biggest match since the Rugby World Cup final, with a confident Springboks on a 10-match winning run keen to break a 76-year duck at the ground. And despite the All Blacks’ 19-year unbeaten run at the park, hundreds of TAB punters are putting their money on the South Africans to win. TAB bookmaker Mark Stafford said with the Springboks in good form and Richie McCaw out injured, New Zealanders were putting their money on the Springboks - who were yesterday at long odds of $3.30. The All Blacks are paying $1.30 for the win. “People have seen the odds and are saying ‘that can’t be right’ and they’re putting money on it,” he said. - NZH

307 7900 Grant Wilson rolls up during the Ashburton Indoor Bowls Association’s Henselite Singles tournament.
Ashburton indoor bowler Grant Wilson will contest the national final of the New Zealand Indoor Bowls Champion of Champions Singles in Auckland tomorrow. Wilson took out the Ashburton tournament in July when he produced a superb last bowl to snatch a dramatic 11-10 win over Ken Mackenzie, Wilson joins the other 34 districts champions who each play four games of fifteen ends in section play and require at least two wins and a draw to qualify for post sec-
tion play. The first hurdle for the eventual winner will just be qualifying for post section play with a quality field set to contest the tournament. Horowhenua’s Graham Stronach is looking to defend his title while Canterbury’s Chris Matthews is the only player in the field who has won the national championship singles, however, several players in the field have won national titles this year as well as Mat Blacks and North and South Island representatives vying for the title. Wilson is looking to become the first winner from Ashburton.

YOUR STARS by Forecasters
ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20) Right in the heart of some of the most powerful financial forces of the year, the Moon is bringing a reminder of a need to look beyond the money. TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) As the Moon wraps up his monthly visit to your financial sector you’re left with a much better read on money matters as well. GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) The road to success will remain under construction for the rest of the year and beyond, with listening to your heart and pacing yourself essential. CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) Hungry now for income opportunities and on a mission to breakthrough any glass ceilings trust your nose for money and pick your battles wisely. LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) With home and family matters dominating, life about to get busier and more complex, holding onto a sense of fun and romance is more important. VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) There has not been a lot of cosmic focus on domestic matters this year, but that will change next month, with a chance today to get a jump on things. LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) As the Moon wraps up his only visit to your communication sector while Mercury is in your sign, work to give your emotional responses a voice. SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) As the Moon wraps up his last visit to your income sector before Venus returns, hold onto the nose for money this leaves you with. SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) When you take the time to look within this will inspire your imagination to start looking ahead, as you start to wonder what the future might bring. CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) In all your interactions and with both personal and professional networking, trust what your instincts, sense of timing and read on others is telling you. AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) While you have reached some of the most important professional weeks of the year this shouldn’t be at the expense of your social life. PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 20) It will be a lot easier to find and maintain a balance between work and play and to focus on the journey itself, making it harder to sweat the small stuff.

New man at the helm Referee Paul Williams discusses a ruling with Mid Canterbury captain Jon Dampney.
Jon Dampney has grown into the Mid Canterbury captaincy quickly. With three wins from the first three rounds of the Heartland Rugby Championship Dampney couldn’t have asked for a better start to his tenure. “I’m really enjoying it. It’s more responsibility but it’s made easier by the guys around and the team’s going well which helps.” It helps having the experience of former captain and now Mid Canterbury centurion Jimmy Carr as well as the likes of Grant Polson, Simon Fleetwood and Murray Williams in the ranks, but the 86-cap Dampney isn’t just there to call the coin toss. “There are a few things that need to be said at times but Murray does a great job running the team and Pols, Jimmy and Fleety are up front and when they say something all the boys listen.” The versatile 30-year-old has packed down at number eight where he can make the most of his ball running ability and has also been the lead target at line-out time. “That’s just the way the calls have gone I guess. We try to vary it, but
if I have to jump I jump.” With a new coaching staff, a new mix of players and new captain, the team culture is thriving and head to Oamaru tomorrow looking for a fourth straight win against North Otago. The old golds had back-to-back losses to start their campaign but bounced back with a key 25-23 win in Ruatoria, ending East Coast’s threeyear unbeaten run at home and will be a tricky prospect at home. Mid Canterbury are top of the table and after three good performances but Dampney knows they have to keep improving to stay ahead of the competition. “We have to keep doing what we are doing, but improve on the areas that are letting us down at times which has been our handling and execution.” The Hammers produced a patchy first half against Wairarapa Bush last week, blowing at least three potential tries through simple mistakes, but showed their character in manufacturing the winning comeback. Dampney would hope to avoid needing the late heroics against North Otago, but will happy enough if they can claim a fourth win.
