Old guard stifles bid for public bridge debate By Sue Newman

Four new Ashburton District Councillors were cut down by the old hands yesterday when they tried to have Ashburton’s second river bridge debate held in public. At the start of the council meeting, councillor Stuart Wilson said he wanted to move discussion on the route off the in-committee agenda and into the public arena. “We’ve talked about this incommittee ever since I’ve been on council and we keep putting off the day when the public gets to know what we’re thinking,” he said. “We say we need to talk to all of the property owners, but we’ve done this. It’s time we gave the public a definite answer on where we’re going instead of putting them off.” While the in-committee agenda contained feedback from the latest round of discussions with landowners, Mr Wilson said that because those comments might be personal or sensitive, they did not need to become part of the public debate, but the rest of the debate and the recommended route should. “We’ve all got the background, we’ve read all the background and we know the background. We’ve debated it continuously in committee,” he said. The newest district councillor Ken Cutforth, who won his seat in a by-election earlier this year when councillor Peter Reveley retired, was quick to show his hand in support. But senior councillor John Leadley was not. “I believe it should be debated in-committee at this stage. I don’t think it’s time yet to go public.” Mr Leadley said that while the affected property owners had

Carollers bring Christmas cheer to shoppers Ashburton College students brought Christmas cheer to late afternoon shoppers yesterday when they entertained with a programme of carols in Baring Square. The teenage singers attracted an appreciative audience.

Stuart Wilson - wanted the bridge debate to be open to the public but had his suggestion shot down been talked to one-on-one and while a route had been determined, there were still options within that with differing impacts on individual property owners. “Until the property owners have been notified, we’re not in a position to debate this publicly,” he said. When mayor Angus McKay put the request to move the second bridge discussion into the public arena it was defeated in an almost new councillor versus old division. Supporting public debate were first term councillors Stuart Wilson, Ken Cutforth, Donna Favel and Martin Nordqvist. Opposed were councillors Don McLeod and Alan Totty (also in their first term), Jac Sparks, Darryl Nelson, John Leadley, Robin Kilworth, Neil Brown and Jim Burgess. Mr McKay was also opposed to opening up the bridge debate to the public.

Novopay - ‘it’s like Monty Python does the payroll’ By Myles Hume Some Mid Canterbury school staff were told they would receive as much as $258,000 an hour as part of Novopay’s holiday pay blunders. “Thankfully that didn’t go through, otherwise we would be bankrupt,” Ashburton College principal Grant McMillan said. Extreme over payments and wages sent to the wrong staff have sent tempers soaring again in local schools, as the all-important holiday pay for some support staff went through yesterday. The pay round was delayed by a day for 5000 support staff who had “amendments” made to ensure they were paid correctly – but that did not work. The pay round was critical for non-teaching staff, who were meant to receive a lump sum that would tide them over the Christmas

break while teachers continue on their fortnightly cycle. “How hard is it? All you have to do is pay about 6 and a half per cent of what they earn,” Mr McMillan said. Instead, schools had been issued with lengthy expenditure reports which notify the school with what staff are going to be paid, but what was in their bank accounts yesterday strayed far from the reports. Mr McMillan said it was lucky some reports did not match the pay, some stating his support staff were entitled to hourly rates of $12,000 and $33,000 with one staff member being entitled to $8.4m for the break, equating to $258,000 an hour. Although the staff members did not receive those sums, Mr McMillan said, in reality, the school had 25 payroll errors, some staff over paid and some not paid at all. “This is a disaster on wheels, it’s like Monty Python does the

payroll.” Novopay sent an email to schools saying they “wanted to apologise for the frustration and extra work we caused you this week”, but Mr McMillan said that was all they seemed to be able to do. “No one deserves the fear that they are not going to be paid over the Christmas holiday, some may not be able to make their mortgages or rent,” Mr McMillan said. Hampstead School principal Peter Melrose said it was far worse than he predicted. Three of his staff had their pay delayed so they could be paid correctly, but he soon found that four other school staff members had been over paid in another botch up. “It’s been an absolute nightmare, there have been so many inconsistencies,” Mr Melrose said. Principals are still counting the errors in holiday pay, and will be contacting Novopay staff today.

Principals applaud milk move By Sam Morton and APNZ Mid Canterbury principals have backed Fonterra’s initiative to roll out free milk to every primary school in New Zealand. The announcement came yesterday, following the successful trial in Northland, involving more than 10,000 children. The “Milk for Schools” initiative will start in Southland next year and progressively roll out around the country, including Ashburton. Rakaia School principal Mark Ellis said he would look at the idea closely, but had no doubt the programme would be welcomed by most prin-

If it’s good enough for the London Olympics then a blue playing surface for hockey players is definitely good enough for Ashburton. When the Ashburton Hockey Association discovered its playing surface was damaged by the string of Canterbury earthquakes, it began working through the insurance process that would ensure it could be replaced. With the go-ahead given, the association planned for the replacement turf work and it decided to do that replacement in style by following the Olympics lead and going blue. The 2012 Olympics hockey matches will be remembered by many viewers for their brilliant blue playing surface and association president Robbie Bennett believes the blue surface will look just as good in real life as it did on television. Along with the turf replacement, the association decided to dig into its bank account and come up with the cash to carry out an upgrade of its turf watering system and water tank. Players limped through the past season on the damaged turf and are looking forward to starting the new playing year on a perfect playing surface, Mr Bennett said. The project is on target for completion by Christmas. The original hockey turf courts opened in June 1997 after years of fundraising and planning. It came at a cost of $850,000 and was anticipated to last between 10 and 15 years. Damage to the turf was originally spotted by the turf manager, showing up as the small holes and odd wobbly line on the playing carpet.

Spierings, who hoped those involved in the programme would become life-long milk drinkers. Education Minister Hekia Parata congratulated Fonterra for the initiative, “As a Government we continue to encourage business communities and other agencies to work together with our school communities to grow the momentum of raising achievement for five out of five kids,’ she said. “This is a great way to add value to our children’s lives as they spend their hours getting a great education,” she said. The programme would be in every school, opting for the initiative, by 2014.

A police spokesperson described the Subrosa BMX Trick Bike as a black frame, with a brown chain and brown wheels. “It is quite a unique design, so if anyone sees it or knows anything regarding the incident, we would love to hear from them.” The rare model of bike is valued at $1200.

The most dangerous team in the Australian NBL may be the Breakers the week following defeat. The Breakers came out with a vengeance against the Cairns Taipans at Vector Arena last night, clinching the game by the third quarter before strolling to a 21-point win. The big win went some way towards making up for last weekend’s insipid display against Sydney, pushing the Breakers back into sole possession of first place ahead of a four-game roadtrip. -APNZ

Axing course ‘tough’ Glyphosate resistance a worry By Myles Hume Cutting Mount Hutt College’s Outdoor Pursuits Course was an extremely “tough decision”, says its manager. Holding down leading roles for the pursuits course for the past two years, manager Joe Wilson, who is leaving to work in Taupo, said it was “disappointing” to cut the course which has been an integral part of the school for the past 15 years. Not being able to muster at least six pupils to apply for the unique course, Mr Wilson said it was difficult to make the ruthless decision to axe the course he has been so passionate about. “It was pretty tough, it took

a while and we left it for as long as we could before we had to make the call. “We had to start to let the students know and we needed to let the new employees know as well as the new manager who was going to come in next year.” He admitted he was hesitant to go along with the decision but it “came down to the fact that we needed a certain amount of numbers”. He said the college had worked overtime in an attempt to keep the course afloat, quashing any question that the college left its run too late. “We have probably done more (work) than usual, we have put in 150 per cent for the course. We have done a lot of marketing but it didn’t come through unfortunately.

“I think the biggest problem is getting it out there for people to know about. It’s quite hard to market it because other schools don’t like you taking their students away.” Mr Wilson was hopeful the college would revive the course for 2013, however he believed the energetic and enthusiastic pupils who predominately do the course would leave a gap in the college and community. “You think, Methven isn’t that big and you have 15 students coming in each year to spend money at the shops here, running round with other students. It’s going to be noticed.” Mr Wilson said the board of trustees was working hard to get the course back for 2014, looking at alterations it can make to bolster its appeal.

millions, but would play a “huge role” in the future health of Kiwi kids, according to programme ambassador Richie McCaw – who announced the programme in Auckland yesterday. “Milk is an important part of the diet for growing kids. It’s healthy and good for growth,” said the All Blacks captain who drinks at least two litres of milk a week. Fonterra chief executive Theo Spierings said milk should be available to all children because of its nutritional value, but overall consumption was dropping. “It’s a commitment to New Zealand and our kids,” he said. “We want a healthy nation and it’s future business for us as well, said Mr

either way as our nutrition is of a high standard – but for a lot of other schools, particularly of low decile – I can really see this being welcomed by everyone. “I think it is really interesting and I look forward to seeing the benefits,” Mr Wilson said. A Fonterra spokesman said all schools wanting to take part should be involved by 2014. Schools can choose to join the programme, in which each child will receive a daily serving of 180ml of low-fat milk. Fonterra will also provide fridges to keep it cool – to avoid the historic days of warm milk. The programme is expected to cost

Mayfield School principal Greg Wilson said the programme wouldn’t be required at his school, but praised Fonterra for the idea, pointing out it would help thousands of children, sent to school without breakfast every day. “For us, as a decile 9 country school – we probably wouldn’t be fussed

By Linda Clarke Mid Canterbury farmers should be worried about the discovery of a glyphosate resistant annual ryegrass in Marlborough, says Mid Canterbury Federated Farmers grain and seed chairman David Clark. It is the first case of glyphosate resistance in New Zealand. Mr Clark said Roundup resistant ryegrass was a serious weed problem in Australia’s arable cropping system and farmers had to work hard to stop it becoming one here. “We don’t know how this is going to spread and develop elsewhere in the country. The ryegrass was in a vineyard and discovered by a chemical company representative. Mr Clark said glyphosate, found in Roundup, was an important tool for all farmers, from dairy farmers growing grass for cows to arable farmers producing valuable seed. “The direct drilling system absolutely replies on Roundup.”

He said seed exports to Europe might be affected by the presence of glyphosate resistant weed seeds. “We have to be really vigilant in keeping this gene out of seed production areas in Canterbury and management of herbicides is going to have to change to ensure that resistance does not develop in Canterbury.” The Foundation for Arable Research (FAR) announced the find yesterday and said the best way of avoiding glyphosate resistance was to ensure that it was not the only chemical used on the same paddock year after year. AgResearch scientist Dr Trevor James recommended mixing it with a herbicide from a different mode-ofaction group every three or four years. This should kill any weeds that may be building up resistance. Mr Clark said dairy farmers too should be worried, as the gene could get into less palatable grasses and take over pasture grazed by cows. Milk production would be reduced by a poorer-quality pasture. “This is a threat to the arable and pastoral industry and we have to

understand really quickly how to manage this.” He said it was also important to establish how the ryegrass became resistant. “We need to understand how it got here. Did the resistance develop here in New Zealand or is a result of a biosecurity incursion?” Since the 1970s, there has been a steady increase in the numbers of weed developing herbicide resistance worldwide. There are 10 herbicide resistant weeds in New Zealand, four associated with perennial pastures. Manager for a joint FAR-Government glyphosate resistance project Mike Parker said glyphosate was the most frequently used herbicide in New Zealand agriculture and although there had been anecdotal reports of resistance, it was the first confirmed occurrence. He said the finding should be a wake-up call for all users of the broad spectrum weed killer. FAR CEO Nick Pyke said the repercussions of losing glyphosate would be serious but farmers could manage the chemical to avoid resistance.

Police numbers fine here By Sam Morton While police stations around the country welcome new recruits to their patch, Mid Canterbury’s police force is powering ahead just fine without them. Earlier this week, Labour’s police spokesman Kris Faafoi claimed police were looking to shift jobs from the South Island to the North, as well as freezing new recruits in the south. Mr Faafoi spoke out in Parliament questioning National Police Minister Anne Tolley on a number of plans he had heard from “three sources”, which he declined to reveal publically. He challenged Mrs Tolley and suggested the Government planned to restructure more than 200 police jobs in the South Island and transfer them to fill gaping holes in the north. But Mid Canterbury can rest easy, with the Ashburton Police Station currently operating two staff above capacity and recently appointing a new Sergeant to the ranks. All is well in Ashburton. Mid-South Canterbury Area Commander Dave Gaskin said he was pleased the station is in good spirit and currently firing above full strength. “Ashburton is in a very good position and operating at quite some strength at present. We’re trying to keep above strength where possible, but if any vacancies arose on the frontline locally, there wouldn’t be a mad rush to fill those – as resourcing is based on demand,” he said. Police National Headquarters

Santa gets a helping hand By Myles Hume Delivering Christmas cards full of generous, and sometimes humourous, messages is all part of Santa’s hectic schedule at this time of year. But it has all become too much for Santa at Hampstead School, where they have had to out-source the work to two more Santas following a swarm of Christmas cards that are dropped in the Christmas card letterbox each day. “I think we do a good a job as New Zealand Post,” principal Peter Melrose said. It has left them with little time each morning, the three year six pupils dressed in red, sorting through the mail each day and delivering it to their fellowpupils before the lunchtime bell. “The best part about this is we don’t have to be in class,” one of the Santas said. Among those letters, there were some addressed to teachers and staff. It has prompted a bit of competition within the school, where Mr Melrose says he has blown away fellow staff members with his shelf of cards. He has had cards of appreciation and even some that he had to giggle at. “I love your car, it’s buitefol (sic),” one letter read. Mr Melrose said it was a fitting way to end the year, the Christmas spirit healthy throughout the school before they finish on Friday.

have also vigorously refuted claims of not replacing roles in the South Island, rubbishing any such suggestion of freezing staff roles for two years. A police spokesman told the Guardian police continually assessed their resourcing needs in each police district, based on demand. “We will go through this process again next year and there are no assumptions made about what this will mean. “If this future assessment requires change in resourcing, then this will be achieved through attrition and strategic recruitment, not movement of existing staff,” he said. Presently, all three South Island districts were above resource allocation targets for constabulary staff, and until the targets drop, recruits will continue being posted to the North Island. However, Ashburton doesn’t look likely to host new recruits any time soon – traditionally being viewed as a place to avoid, due to the absence of around the clock supervision. “We have had new recruits come to Ashburton, but generally we try not to take them as there is not round the clock guidance available for them. “They tend to go to the 24-hour stations, which is the best fit for them,” Mr Gaskin said. The station is home to more than 30 staff ranging from two Sergeants, Detective Sergeants, three detectives, two unsworn staff, numerous constables and a Station Senior Sergeant. So, it’s business as usual for Ashburton. Nothing to see here officers!

Rope tower for Methven The Methven Railway Reserve playground will have a $57,500 rope tower installed in the new year, and it will be bigger than Ashburton’s one. Ashburton District Council parks and reserves manager David Askin said a rope tower was a popular feature of the Ashburton Domain playground, providing a climbing challenge to older children. He said money through the council’s capital works programme over the last four or five years had been put aside for playground equipment, and the Methven Community Board had requested the rope tower. There was $60,000 available, and the remainder not spent on the tower itself would pay for under-surfacing materials and other installation work. The Methven rope tower would be higher than Ashburton’s one, and would be installed in early February.

Lilies likely to be in short supply By Sue Newman

Making the most of a far from perfect season, Christmas lily grower Bill Hargreaves brings in a small crop of small blooms from his lily farm.

All I want for Christmas is . . . By Sam Morton Ashburton residents appear to want what all Kiwis want this Christmas, according to Trade Me’s latest most searched items. A top 10 search list obtained by the Guardian this week has revealed Mid Canterbury shoppers are on the hunt for much of the same items as the majority of New Zealanders. The demand for iPhones, iPads and iPods has again taken the online market by storm, topping the list nationally and featuring as the highest search products in almost every major province. However, locally it appears Ashburton children want to jump high next year – with parents and relatives seeking killer bargains for trampolines. Trade Me spokesman Paul Ford said Apple products remained one of the hottest sellers on the online marketplace, topping the list for a second consecutive Christmas. “Apple has done a great job appealing to a wide cross-section of people, from tweenie kids wanting iPod Touches through to hardcore tech geeks wanting the flashest iPhone money can buy,” Mr Ford said. Back in Canterbury, including Ashburton and Christchurch, outdoor interests feature highly. From jet boats to bikes, tents and barbecues, Mid Cantabrians look set to party

Christmas lilies around Canterbury are likely to be in short supply this year, with Ashburton growers Helen and Bill Hargreaves looking at a harvest that is 75 per cent down on last year. And the reason for the miserly Christmas harvest is unknown, Mrs Hargreaves said. She’s aware of other growers who are similarly affected but said she’s also heard of people, particularly home gardeners, who have bumper crops. “This time last year I had eight or nine helpers picking and packing; this year Bill and I have done it on our own,” she said. Lilies were picked yesterday and the tight buds will be held in a cool store before they hit the mar-

SPend $25 or more in store by cash or eftpos and be into the draw to win

ket next week. Mrs Hargreaves anticipates the lily farm is likely to yield just one more picking before Christmas. Last year where she was picking mostly multi-budded stems, this year most plants are yielding just single stems with single buds. “Normally we have trucks and trailers full of flowers. The market usually takes about 3000 bunches; this year they’ll be lucky to get 3000 single buds.” The poor yield was disappointing, particularly as every effort had been made this year to ensure the botrytis that had damaged blooms in other years was not present this year, she said. While the yield is poor this year, the Hargreaves plan to keep some blooms back to meet their traditional local market with gate sales and sales at Saturday’s Ashburton Farmers’ Market.

PM’s Pike apology ‘far too late’ Public issues OUR VIEW

By Laura Mills

need public debate

Prime Minister John Key yesterday fronted an at times angry group of Pike River Mine families in Greymouth to apologise - and pledge funding of about $10 million to recover the main tunnel. Mr Key said afterwards it was important to apologise face to face on behalf of the Government, but he stuck to his view that recovering the 29 bodies from the main

workings of the mine remained unlikely. Most families stayed until the end but some left early, with Anna Osborne saying she did not even want an apology: “It’s far too late, two years down the track.” She attended the meeting to stress the need to bring home the men, and said Mr Key told them money would not be an issue when it came to recovering the main tunnel (drift). Lawrie Drew, who also left early,

said everyone was at a stalemate, with the Government advisers saying one thing and the families’ advisers another. “It’s the same merry-go-round.” Mr Key acknowledged the families had been frustrated by his message that a body recovery remained unlikely. He stressed to journalists that the Royal Commission itself cautioned against such a bid. He did not want to leave the families with false hope, he said.

However, he said the Government would fund the drift recovery, and noting that the figure of $10m had been suggested. In his letter to families, delivered last week, Mr Key said he regretted “deeply” the lives lost and the suffering caused. He said the Royal Commission’s report painted a disturbing picture of corporate and regulatory failure. “On behalf of the Government, I want to reiterate my apology to the

families, friends and loved ones of the deceased men for the role this lack of regulatory effectiveness played in the tragedy.” But he also said the mine’s new owner, Solid Energy, remained of the view that re-entry further into the mine was too risky. Mr Key said Bruce Parkes, a senior manager at the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment was the new liaison between the families and Government. -APNZ

Marmite on its way?

By Sue Newman senior reporter

By Matthew Theunissen

here do you draw the line between public and private debate on an issue that affects an entire community? The route for the second bridge across the Ashburton River has been on the drawing board of the Ashburton District Council for several years. Thousands of dollars have been spent on reports, analysis of reports, public consultation and the employment of experts. Questions have been asked, some have been answered and finally from a large number of options, the route has been chosen. All of the council’s debate on the bridge route has been held in-committee. Closed door meetings have been held with potentially affected land owners, wider community meetings have been held, feed back has been invited and carefully worded press releases have been prepared. In all the months this subject has been batted around the council table, no one in our community has any idea what individual councillors think, what they’re arguing for or against. Decisions are made but we have no idea how they’ve been arrived at. The council believes this does

Marmite lovers can breathe a sigh of relief with the news that Sanitarium’s earthquake-damaged Christchurch factory should be given the all-clear by Christmas. Marmite has been in short supply since the Papanui plant was shut down by the Canterbury earthquakes, with the situation being dubbed “Marmageddon”. Christchurch City Council building inspectors were at the site yesterday to see whether it could get a code of compliance, and determined one could be issued by Christmas. Building operations unit manager Ethan Stetson said there was an issue with an unfinished lift, which would not be completed until next year. However, the council was endeavouring to work around this and would handle the lift as its own distinct consent. “This allows Sanitarium to focus on the most critical work to get the factory back up and running. The lift works will be handled in the new year,” he said. “At this time we expect to be able to issue a code compliance certificate before Christmas, enabling access to the factory.” Sanitarium’s New Zealand general manager Pierre van Heerden said Marmite would “definitely” be back on New Zealand supermarket shelves some time next year. “Marmite will be back, there’s absolutely no doubt.” -APNZ

not matter, that the end result is all that matters. The council must act as a team, provide a united front and when a decision is made, they must all support that decision. In theory that’s fine. What the community wants, however, is something different. We want to know what our individual councillors think. Yes, we understand they need to abide by a council decision and give it their full support, but in getting to that point there will have been healthy debate. That’s what the public wants to see. Every three years we vote for people we believe will do their best to represent the interests of the community. How are we supposed to know who’s doing what we want and who is not, if all we see is a result? Hearing the debate that goes before would do everything to help us understand how individual councillors think. And that’s important. It’s our community, we’re proud of it and we believe we have a right to know who thinks what and why. Inevitably there are issues that must be debated behind closed doors, but ask anyone in our community, including the people who will be most affected by the bridge route and it’s likely they’ll tell you this isn’t one of them.

Bain report ‘skewed CHRISTMAS EASY towards innocence’ By Audrey Young Justice Ian Binnie accepted David Bain’s version of events surrounding the murder of his family without question, except where it was directly contradicted by other witnesses, Justice Minister Judith Collins said yesterday in criticising Justice Binnie’s report for compensation for wrongful imprisonment. And instead of requiring Mr Bain to satisfy the judge he was innocent, Mr Binnie imposed an onus on the Crown whenever the Crown suggested facts inconsistent with Mr Bain’s innocence. He therefore skewed the findings towards innocence, Ms Collins said. The minister today released the report written by Mr Binnie, a retired Supreme Court judge of Canada, and the highly critical peer review by former High Court judge Robert Fisher. At issue is whether David Bain - who was acquitted in 2009 for murdering his family in 1994 - should be compensated for wrongful imprisonment. Dr Fisher’s report said “logic and experience suggest that if a suspect has lied in denying his responsibility for the crime itself, he will scarcely shrink from lying about the details. “For the purposes of drawing inference from surround facts, most decision-makers will prefer sources other than the suspect.” Ms Collins also released Mr Binnie’s highly critical response to Dr Fisher’s review which was emailed to Ms Collins office this morning. He says Dr Fisher’s complaints are “academic and theoretical and indicate little familiarity of the case.” Mr Binnie also makes reference to the Herald story of September 10 saying that Mr Binnie’s confidential report recommended compensation and suggests he has been blamed for a leak. “What is particularly galling in Mr

Fisher’s commentary is reference to ‘the well publicised recommendation that compensation be paid’,” Mr Binnie said in his email to Ms Collins. “At the time this ‘publicity’ appeared in the New Zealand press, the only people who had my report were the ministry and myself. If the leak occurred, it had nothing to do with me.” At a press conference yesterday Ms Collins, referring to Dr Fisher’s report, said the errors in Mr Binnie’s report were extensive and serious. - Items of evidence that did not prove a subsidiary fact on the balance of probabilities were disregarded which meant important evidence like blood stains on Mr Bain’s clothing and broken glasses were excluded. - Justice Binnie regarded the acquittal as something that was relevant to whether Mr Bain had proved his innocence. - An acceptance of Bain’s version of events without question, except where it directly contradicted other witnesses. - Justice Binnie arrived at a provisional conclusion of innocence based on one item (luminol footprints), followed by a serial testing of that conclusion, instead of considering the cumulative effect of all evidence - an approach Ms Collins said skewed the findings towards innocence. - Justice Binnie’s approach was generous to Mr Bain in its reliance on background facts sourced from him. - Instead of requiring Mr Bain to satisfy him on the balance of probabilities, Justice Binnie imposed an onus on the Crown whenever the Crown suggested a factual possibility inconsistent with Mr Bain’s innocence. - He relied on innocent openness’ defences to turn incriminating

admissions or clues into points thought to support Mr Bain’s genuineness and credibility. - Going beyond his mandate, Mr Binnie did not have authority to conclude whether there were extraordinary circumstances, or make a recommendation on whether compensation should be paid. - Instead of founding conclusions on the evidence available to him, Justice Binnie drew an adverse inference to the Crown where, in his view, the police ought to have gone further in their investigations. - In finding serious wrongdoings by authorities, Justice Binnie paid no regard for the need for an official admission or judicial finding of misconduct, and treated as ‘serious misconduct’ actions that were not deliberate, not done in bad faith. - Justice Binnie criticised named individuals without giving them the right to respond. APNZ Labour’s justice spokesman Charles Chauvel said the release of the reports yesterday revealed the extent of Ms Collins “behind-the-scenes interference to try and undermine Justice Binnie’s report on the David Bain Case”. “Judith Collins has worked relentlessly since 26 September to pick holes in Justice Binnie’s reasoning. She has spent $100,000 of taxpayers’ funds on a nit-picking review of Justice Binnie’s report, which itself cost taxpayers over $400,000. “At the same time she was instructing Robert Fisher QC to critique Justice Binnie’s work on a far wider basis of criticism than she ever made clear to him.” Mr Chauvel said that in the documents released yesterday, the criticisms of Justice Binnie’s work had been greatly overstated - APNZ

We’re sewing blindfolds for her team and they won’t be allowed to touch her and help her over things. If they touch, they’re out.” Miss Middleton said that for the past four years she had given herself a feat to accomplish, from sailing the Atlantic to climbing Mont Blanc. “It may sound dauntingly hearty, but really it’s just good fun, plus it provides some routine, discipline and fitness.” The 243km Coast to Coast will be held on February 8-9. - APNZ

Plenty of fun was had yesterday at Lauriston School’s end of year picnic, triathlon and final assembly, ending with a surprise visit from Santa on a Hilux-drawn sleigh. Kim Solly from school support organised the triathlon, and said it went very smoothly. “It was fantastic. Heaps of ex-students from Lauriston came to help out and marshal the race, so that was awesome to see.” The pupils rose to the occasion, with the senior classes helping during the day and leading a lot of the assembly. House leaders Ben Innes, Harry Lemon, Josh Harkness and Hayley Riordan presented their own awards to fellow students, and although most of the certificates were forgotten, the students received solemn handshakes from their house leaders. Lauriston school has a system of peer tutors, pairing older students with younger ones to support them and help them fit in to school. Principal Dianne Prendergast said the buddy system was working better each year. “The older classes remember what it was like when they were young, and they have been the best tutors so far. They’re very dedicated to their buddies.” In the triathlon the years five and six race was won by Guy Smith, followed by Joe McIntosh and Josh Harkness. In the years three and four race Gus Casey-Solly came first, Angus Stewart second and Sophie Innes third. For year two Oskar Trafford came first followed by Hannah Hayes and Aaron Devon. William Lemon won the juniors race, followed by Henry King and Cooper Leitis. Lauriston School prize-giving will be held on Thursday at the Mt Hutt College Hall.

US mall gunman fired at random The hockey mask-wearing gunman who killed two people and himself in a shooting rampage at a US mall deep into the Christmas shopping season was 22 and used a stolen rifle from someone he knew, authorities said Wednesday. The rifle jammed and mall employees had been trained for the possibility of a mass shooting, and authorities said the death toll could have been worse. Jacob Tyler Roberts had armed himself with an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle and had several fully loaded magazines when he walked briskly into a mall in Portland, Oregon on Tuesday afternoon and started firing at random, said Clackamas County Sheriff Craig Roberts. The sheriff said the rifle jammed during the attack, but he managed to get it working again. The gunman then fled into a back hallway, down stairs and into a corner, where police found him dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot, authorities said. The sheriff said authorities didn’t yet have a motive. Employees at the mall had been trained to run and hide, lock down and evacuate. Since previous mass shootings elsewhere in the US, the first arriving police officers were trained to form teams and go inside instead of waiting for speciality teams. “This could have been much, much worse,” Roberts said. Two people — Steven Mathew Forsyth and Cindy Ann Yuille — were killed, and another, Kristina Shevchenko, was wounded and in serious condition. A law enforcement official said the shooter did not have a criminal record. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to discuss details of an ongoing criminal investigation. The shooting started shortly after a man in a white mask carrying a rifle and wearing a bulletproof vest said, “I am the shooter,” as if announcing

himself, said Austin Patty, 20, who works at a mall department store. A series of rapid-fire shots followed as Christmas music continued to play. Patty said he ducked and then ran. Witnesses said the suspect fired several times near the mall food court until the rifle jammed, and he dropped a magazine onto the floor and ran into the Macy’s store. Some were close enough to the shooter to feel the percussion of his gun. “I saw a gentleman face down, obviously shot in the head,” said Jason DeCosta, the manager of a company with a display on the mall’s ground floor. “A lot of blood. You could tell there was nothing you could do for him.” DeCosta said he also saw a woman on the floor who had been shot in the chest. The first emergency call came at 3.29pm Tuesday. The first officers arrived a minute later. By 3.51pm, all the victims and the gunman and rifle and been found. The mall Santa, Brance Wilson, said he heard gunshots and dove for the floor. By the time he looked up, seconds later, everyone around him had cleared out. Parents with children joined other shoppers rushing to stores’ backrooms for safety. “Santa will be back,” Wilson said. “It’s not going to keep Santa away from the mall.” Shaun Wik, 20, said he was Christmas shopping with his girlfriend and opened a fortune cookie at the food court. Inside was written: “Live for today. Remember yesterday. Think of tomorrow.” As he read it, he heard three shots. He heard a man he believes was the gunman shout, “Get down!” but Wik and his girlfriend ran. He heard seven or eight more shots. He didn’t turn around. “If I had looked back, I might not be standing here,” Wik said. -AP

Antoine Brisbois was at Fort Knox on a two-day visit working alongside soldiers and training. Brisbois developed bone cancer at age 12. The visit was made through Make-A-Wish Foundation. At the Kentucky Army post, he rode in an armoured truck in full combat gear, fired blanks and disarmed explosives. He said fulfilling his dream made him “extremely happy”. – AP

The success of economic ties between Australia and New Zealand could be improved through more services trade and investment, the productivity commissions of the two countries say in a report. Next year will mark the 30th anniversary of Closer Economics Relations (CER) between the two countries,

under which trade restrictions have been greatly reduced and people now move freely “across the ditch”. “CER has been a very successful venture, with initiatives that would not have been possible with any third country,” New Zealand Productivity Commission chair Murray Sherwin said in a statement accompanying the

report. But he said there was more to be achieved to the benefit of both Australia and New Zealand. Australia’s Productivity Commission chair Gary Banks said a single economic market would be a desirable “direction of travel”. “But how far policy initiatives go

will emerge from good public policy processes focused on achieving net benefits,” Mr Banks said. The report was handed to prime ministers Julia Gillard and John Key on Thursday. It identifies more than 30 initiatives to promote beneficial integration, mostly addressing regulatory barriers

NZ to lead global research on methane gas emissions New Zealand is leveraging its understanding of methane emissions from farm animals to lead global research on reducing the powerful, but short-lived gas’s production. Climate Change Minister Tim Groser says the project is a workstream in a project being taken on by the newly formed Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC), which New Zealand is joining. Some 34 percent of total GHG emissions in New Zealand are from methane, a shorter-lived but far more powerful gas than what Groser called “the real climate change problem”, carbon dioxide. As a result of this unusually methanerich emissions profile, scientific effort has concentrated on the area and was a key reason for New Zealand being a prime mover in establishing the Global Research Alliance on Agricultural GHG’s, at the otherwise failed global talks in Copenhagen, in 2009. Groser has returned from the global climate change talks, held this year in Doha, Qatar, where nations representing around 85 percent of global emissions, including New Zealand’s tiny contribution, made sluggish progress on a postKyoto climate treaty to take effect in 2020 and be negotiated by 2015. He has taken political flak from environmental advocates over the government’s decision to make New Zealand drop out of the Kyoto Protocol just before the Doha talks began. The Doha meeting did agree to two streams of work - one focusing on the 2020 agreement and beyond, and a second on “raising ambitions” for emissions reductions before 2020. Groser said the new clean air coalition, which is a US initiative, “is focussed on reducing methane emissions from industry which complements work that New Zealand is leading in reducing methane emissions from agriculture.” New Zealand’s methane and nitrous

Research continues to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions from livestock oxide emissions from agriculture make up 48 percent of the country’s total GHG emissions, making it unusual for a developed country. Despite farmer opposition, agriculture was to have been included in the emissions trading scheme from 2015.The country’s odd emissions profile has also driven research into reducing methane emissions from cows and sheep. Before Doha, and with collapsing carbon prices globally, the government stripped all target dates for the ETS indefinitely, while the world sorts out a climate agreement to replace Kyoto, whose First Commitment Period ends in 18 days, on Dec. 31. Only European countries and Australia, representing about 15 percent of global

emissions, have taken up a so-called Second Commitment, which will extend through to 2020. “This new group is not a substitute for action on the real climate change problem, carbon dioxide, which remains in the atmosphere for around a hundred years,” said Groser in a statement. “But moving quickly to reduce emissions from short lived climate pollutants is part of a coherent strategy to tackle the challenge of climate change. CCAC will focus on emissions mitigation research on a range of “potent but short-lived climate pollutants such as black carbon, and greenhouse gases including HFCs and methane”. The CCAC will meet next in March 2013. APNZ

Manufacturing ‘muddling’ along as activity contracts New Zealand’s manufacturing is “muddling” along as activity contracted last month in anticipation of a pick-up next year when Canterbury’s reconstruction effort gathers pace. The Bank of New ZealandBusiness New Zealand performance of manufacturing index fell 1.5 points to 48.8 in November, where a reading below 50 indicates a contraction of activity, and a figure above 50 implies expansion. The headline figure has barely budged since June, hovering at or around the break-even 50 mark. The rebuild in Christchurch is seen as a looming boost to the sector, with construction firms champing at the bit as insurance money starts flooding into New Zealand and funding what’s seen as a $30 billion plus job. At the same time, a resurgent property market bereft of housing supply is stoking building conditions in Auckland. “It is indicative of a manufacturing sector muddling along, at least on average,” BNZ economist Doug Steel said in his report. “While we remain optimistic of a manufacturing improvement through 2013, we remain cautious about reading too much into the latest PMI results, even though they have essentially stabilised at the headline level.” Manufacturers have been vocal in their pleas for government aid as local makers struggle to contend with a strong New Zealand dollar that eats into their profitability when selling abroad, while at the same time making their wares seem less attractive in comparison to cheaper imports. Today’s PMI showed production slipped back into a contraction with a reading of 49.3 from 53 a month earlier, while new orders

were flat at 50. Finished stocks rose to 53.4 from 52.1 in October and delivers improved to an expansionary 51.8 from 49.7. Employment deteriorated to 48.2 from 49.1. Business NZ executive director Catherine Beard said “sluggish production and new orders has meant the overall result has had little chance to show stronger activity levels, while employment in the sector remains in contraction.

‘

... we remain cautious about reading too much into the latest PMI results ...

Food, beverage and tobacco manufacturing continued to shine, rising to 79 in November from 73.3 a month earlier, while machinery and equipment crept up 0.7 of a point to 51.8. Metal product manufactur ing improved to 48.5 from 42.7, though was still in contraction. On a regional basis, Otago/ Southland was the standout, rising to 65 from 54. Followed by Canterbury/ Westland at 62 from 50.8 in October. The Northern region rose to 56.6 from 52.1. Central deteriorated to 51.7 from 57.6. APNZ

China urged to press North Korea The United States has asked China to exert its influence on North Korea after the impoverished nation carried out an apparently successful long-range rocket launch. The United States raised North Korea’s launch as Lieutenant General Qi Jianguo, deputy chief of the general staff of the People’s Liberation Army, visited the Pentagon yesterday for annual defence talks between the Pacific powers. Jim Miller, the undersecretary of defence for policy, told Qi that North Korea’s launch was a “clear violation” of UN security council resolutions, the Pentagon said in a statement. “He urged China to work with the United States and the international community to insist that North Korea live up to its commitments,

Late BBC presenter Jimmy Savile is a suspect in 199 crimes, including 31 allegations of rape, police say, adding that the scale of his alleged crimes is “unprecedented” in Britain. Ten weeks after Scotland Yard began investigating claims that Savile was a pedophile, the London force confirmed that 589 people had come forward with information, of which 450 related to Savile, mainly alleging sex abuse. Some 80 per cent of the victims were children or young people, police said, while 82 per cent who claimed they had been abused were female. “These levels of reporting of sexual abuse against a single individual are unprecedented in the UK,” Scotland Yard said in a statement. The investigation into Savile, one of the BBC’s top television and radio presenters, who died last year aged 84, was prompted by claims by five women on a television documentary on October 4. It has since spawned 12 other inquiries or related reviews both into Savile himself – by the BBC and other authorities – and into unrelated sexual offences, such as abuse at a Welsh children’s

• Jail for Lohan? A US court has revoked actress Lindsay Lohan’s probation, setting her up for a possible new jail sentence, after she was charged for allegedly lying to police about a car crash. The probation ruling yesterday was widely expected after the perennially-troubled 26-year-old was charged last month over the California car crash, on the same day she was arrested over an alleged fight in a New York nightclub. – AFP

• Editor ‘was pushed’ James Harding, editor of media mogul Rupert Murdoch’s Times of London, announced he was resigning yesterday, and said he was pressured to step down. In a speech to his editorial staff, Harding praised the newspaper’s coverage and said it had been an honour working there. “It has been made clear to me that News Corporation would like to appoint a new editor of the Times,” he told his newsroom. “I have, therefore, agreed to stand down.” Murdoch’s News International declined to comment on the context of Harding’s speech. – AP

adhere to its international obligations and deal peacefully with its neighbours,” it said. China is considered the nation with the most influence over Pyongyang and US officials are scrutinising its policy for any hints of change as Communist Party chief Xi Jinping gradually takes the reins of power. China voiced regret over North Korea’s launch and joined the rest of the UN security council in condemning the launch, which apparently set an object in orbit before the last of the rocket’s three stages fell near the Philippines. The Pentagon said the two nations also discussed security in the East China Sea and South China Sea, where China is locked in a series of bitter territorial disputes with Japan and Southeast Asian countries. – AFP

Savile a suspect in 199 crimes, 31 rapes care home and child abuse by late MP Cyril Smith. Ten people have been arrested so far, including convicted pedophile and former glam rocker Gary Glitter and comedian Freddie Starr. Radio presenter Dave Lee Travis and public relations guru Max Clifford have also been held, but not for child sex offences. All those arrested protest their innocence. Commander Peter Spindler, head of specialist crime investigations at Scotland Yard, paid tribute to the victims who had spoken out. “As a result of their collective efforts we have a great opportunity to learn from the past, develop our understanding of sexual exploitation and improve our safeguarding procedures,” he said. “Our response should send a clear warning to anyone today now in a position of power and influence who abuse their status to sexually exploit children and young people – victims will be listened to and robust action taken.” Police added that the Savile scandal had led to a “significant increase” in reports of historic child abuse and previously undisclosed adult sexual offences. – AFP

The stars come out for Hobbit A host of stars including Cate Blanchett have gathered in the West End for the royal UK premiere of the new Hobbit film. The Duke of Cambridge will join them for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey in London’s Leicester Square and will attend alone as his wife Kate, whose pregnancy was announced last week, continued to rest at St James’ Palace from acute morning sickness. Sir Ian McKellen, Andy Serkis and Blanchett, who reprise their roles from the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and Office star Martin Freeman, who plays main character Bilbo Baggins in the JRR Tolkien adaptation, all attended. They were joined by showbiz figures including boyband McFly, who braved freezing temperatures on the green carpet in front of hundreds of screaming fans.

Britain’s Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, meets Sir Ian McKellenat the UK premiere.

Sir Ian, who plays the wizard Gandalf, said it was great to be in London for a film with a strong British presence. He added: “Its cast is basically British and from the Commonwealth, Tolkien was an English writer, here we are in the capital city and it feels proper.” Australian actress Blanchett, who plays elf queen Galadriel, joked about the cold. “The weather is enough to drive anyone away but it is great to see so many fans,” she said. She wore a stunning white backless dress but had donned a black jacket by the time she went into the cinema for the performance. Olympic long jump gold medallist Greg Rutherford was among the celebrities attending, along with singer Nick Cave. – PA

• Special message A police force in Britain has chosen the medium of the traditional Christmas card to warn would-be criminals to be on their best behaviour over the festive period – or face the strong arm of the law. Police in the West Midlands, in central England, will be sending out the cards to known “career criminals” in the hope that they will be deterred from carrying out burglaries, robberies and theft. For those with families, the card’s cover features the face of a young child, with the message: “All I want for Christmas is for you to be there.” The cards include contact details for police officers working to help criminals with previous offences move away from a life of crime. – DPA

Argentines shocked by verdicts in sex slave trial The acquittal of 13 people accused of kidnapping a young mother and forcing her to work for years as a sex slave spread shock and outrage across Argentina yesterday, prompting street protests and calls by political leaders to impeach the three judges who delivered the verdict. Many called the ruling a setback for Argentina’s efforts to combat sex trafficking, which began largely as a result of Susana Trimarco’s one-woman, decadelong quest to find her missing daughter, Maria de los Angeles

“Marita” Veron. Her attorneys said she would pursue appeals. Trimarco’s search exposed an underworld of organised crime figures who operate brothels with protection from authorities across Argentina. Security Minister Nilda Garre called the verdict “a tremendous slap in the face for the prospect of justice”. “It’s not only a reversal for this particular case of the kidnapping and disappearance of Marita Veron, that made society feel deeply the drama of this kind of

21st century slavery, covered up for decades by the customs of a network of machista culture,” she said. It also “renders invisible the suffering of the victims of humantrafficking networks and sexual exploitation, who gave such courageous testimony during the trial, and consecrates judicial impunity for these crimes,” Garre said. Other officials also rallied around Veron’s mother, denouncing the verdicts and praising government efforts to save women

TAURUS (Apr 21st May 21st) If anyone ducks or dives on a direct question you ask them, even if you don’t obviously confront them the chances are you’ll immediately know that they are trying to avoid ‘fessing up’. Then again, you may want to experience the transformation that a very direct conversation can have. Sometimes people accuse you of being blunt. Today you may be.

GEMINI (May 22nd Jun 21st) Money matters can be on your mind, especially shared money matters. You could find yourself toying with a more direct but diplomatic approach, especially if someone you are involved with tends to be secretive or says “I have transferred the money” and a cursory check on your bank account would seem to suggest otherwise.

from prostitution. Trimarco said President Cristina Fernandez personally called her to express her surprise and outrage “I don’t have proof, but I don’t have doubts. When there’s money involved, the whole world can blow their trumpets and it won’t bother them a bit,” Fernandez said yesterday. She said the verdicts show the need to eliminate judicial corruption by reforming how judges are picked and allowed to remain in their jobs. Political rivals have called this campaign an attack on

judicial independence. Trimarco’s lawyers said the verdict shows that impunity still reigns, and they said they would pursue appeals. “The reality is that the police are not investigating Marita’s disappearance. It’s Susana Trimarco who is investigating and it’s been this way from the beginning,” attorney Carlos Garmendia told The Associated Press. Some of yesterday’s street protests became violent, with people throwing eggs and trying to vandalise provincial offices in

CANCER (Jun 22nd - Jul 23rd) You may be finding that some relationships, perhaps for no conscious reason on your part, are becoming more and more charged with intensity, conflict and obstacles. To you it may seem as if certain individuals are raining on your parade when in the past they didn’t. Really it’s because you’re growing more assertive about your needs and hopes.

LEO (Jul 24th - Aug 23rd) Part of you can be drawn to all the mirth and pleasures of this time of year but a strong sense of duty can still surface within you. Or will it be someone else who reminds you of your responsibilities? The best way to manage this could be through good planning and a sensible strategy. Be dutiful first and foremost, then liberate yourself to play.

VIRGO (Aug 24th Sep 23rd) Your feelings about the things you hold dear can seem more vivid. With your emotions already stirred by the New Moon, the basic foundation of your existence such as where you live, who you live with or how you live there are all very much to the fore already. You can find yourself feeling a little more defensive or the moods of others can affect you more.

Merry Christmas

LIBRA (Sep 24th Oct 23rd) Just when the music, chat and joviality have really started to flow you might experience a brief but profound switchback today. This could see you happy to scuttle home and have a lovely cosy evening, happy to muse to yourself and perhaps enjoy a spot of personal pampering or preening, all of which can charge you up ready for tomorrow’s fray.

SCORPIO (Oct 24th - Nov 22nd) Today once more you can find it hard to contain your need to express your earnest feelings about something. It’s possible this concerns one of your pet subjects, topics or causes. The only thing is, will you actually get heard? If you have been beating the drum for this previously, others may be less rather than more receptive. Do stay attuned to your audience.

Tucuman and Buenos Aires. Trimarco called on her supporters to keep the peace, even as she expressed her anger at a news conference in the provincial capital. When Veron disappeared a decade ago, sexual exploitation and people trafficking hardly existed on the national government’s agenda, let alone in northwestern Argentina, where she was allegedly kept as a sex slave by an organised crime ring with close ties to authorities in the provinces of Tucuman and La Rioja. – AP

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23rd - Dec 21st) What’s yours is yours, and even if you’re generous you can hold onto your resources a little more tightly today. As much as you have been feeling a sense of renewal at some levels, your love life has perhaps been more complex lately, even if nothing much seems to be happening. Be assured that the planets are preparing new energy here too.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22nd - Jan 20th) Part of you can feel charged up, sure of your chance of making progress. Yet paradoxically another side of you can feel less assured, in fact even quite tentative. This may see you needing some reassurance, or if you are often the one providing a broad shoulder for people to lean on, appreciating someone being there to do this for you for a change.

AQUARIUS (Jan 21st - Feb 19th) As the Moon sweeps across Pluto and squares your co-ruler Uranus, so psychological energies are to the fore. If you are an insightful person you may be recognising the repeat pattern of this and how it is stirring previously buried memories or views of yourself. Or is it helping you to see yourself in a new light? Comfortable this may not be.

PISCES (Feb 20th Mar 20th) A heart-to-heart with a friend can be good, but only if they are playing a supportive role rather than telling you what you must do. Is someone holding too much sway in your world? It’s not good to be in any kind of passive idealising situation, for true bonds are based on a more equal relationship. Steer away from putting anyone on a pedestal.

covering Mid Canterbury...

A structural consideration, steel versus timber

Story by: Amanda Wright

If you’re planning to build your home from scratch, after locating the prefect section there are many considerations that follow, one of the most important being what your home will actually be made of. A few years ago we may have felt safe within our walls, not giving the framing or the reinforcement a second thought, but post earthquake those who have spent the last few years in Canterbury are now more conscious of stability. While most builders are content using traditional timber framing, there are other options now available, one being steel framing. There are arguments for and against each method, but in some situations there is a clear winner, so here are arguments in favour of both sides to help you pick the medium that best suits your personal building preference. The first consideration that is usually at the top of every home builders check-list is cost. Traditionally timber framing has been cheaper, but through advances in the market steel framing is becoming a lot more affordable, and in some cases by using smarter designs and greater spans, less material can be used, and combined with the lighter transportation costs and faster construction, it is possible for steel framing to cost less than timber. During the building process there are many advantages that steel framing has over traditional stick building. It’s faster to

construct, saving you money through the building time. Because it is lighter, it is easier to transport and move around a building site, so it can be advantageous if building on a site with difficult access. It can also produce a more creative and unique design, as steel is easier to fabricate sections with. One advantage that timber has over steel at this stage is that last minute alterations are easier with timber, doors or windows can be easily moved or changed with a timber frame compared to steel. Which is more environmentally friendly and energy efficient? Steel is the most recycled material on Earth, and timber is the ultimate renewable resource. So finding the best option for framing your environment-friendly home may not be a clear-cut decision. Nearly 15 per cent of a home's energy goes towards heating and cooling, and steel - which is around 400 times more conductive to heat than is timber - requires more insulation to prevent heat loss to the ground and air. At the end of a house's life, steel reigns supreme. Steel is easily recyclable, where timber is a slouch in comparison. Recycling timber is a labour-intensive, inefficient process, further complicated by the adhesives that are replacing nails and screws in construction.

So which one performs better?

Open Homes

Again there’s no immediate winner. Steel framing claims that it is stronger, lighter and longer lasting, and also more stable than timber so it retains its original dimensions. The strength of steel also reduces the threat of foundation problems and damage to the home during high winds.

report none of these problems, so the best solution is to discuss this with your builder. However, steel seems to perform better within a humid environment in comparison to timber. Steel structure is ideal for places where there is high level of humidity. Steel frames can withstand moisture and are more durable than the timber frames. Unlike timber, steel does not expand and contract when exposed to different amounts of moisture in the air. A steel frame has no possibility of deformation, reduction, splitting or twisting due to moisture.

You would think steel would perform better in a fire due to its non-flammable qualities, however there is argument to the contrary. Steel loses strength rapidly on exposure to the heat, whereas timber chars and continues to carry load until fire damage is well advanced. This means that although the steel does not burn, it is quicker to deform and will collapse faster than timber.

What about day-to-day living? It has been argued that timber has much better acoustic qualities than steel, and that steel tends to be noisy if you are in an environment where you have a changeable temperature, cold in the morning and hot in the afternoon. The high expansion rate of steel compared to the other building materials results in movement between the surfaces which is commonly called creaking, this is a common problem with steel framed homes, and needs to be considered as in our changing weather conditions it can become an annoying problem. However there are steel framed home owners that

Another important point to discuss with your builder is the galvanization on the steel frames, how long does it last and how susceptible will it be to rust, especially in the areas where it has been cut. If it doesn’t come with a life-long rust-free guarantee then is it worth the risk? The same type of guarantee can be asked for in regard to the timber treatment on the frame, how long are you protected from rot, twisting or splitting. Depending on the location in which you are building, it will come down to personal preference to suit your individual circumstances, but it is clear that there is a market for both types of frame building material. Remember to discuss all factors in detail with your builder, and obtain independent advice.

ASHBURTON GUARDIAN, Friday, December 14, 2012

covering Mid Canterbury... Draughtsman vs architect – what is the difference?

Story by: Amanda Wright

When designing new building work you have a choice between engaging an architect or a draughtsman. Architects and draughtsmen can both work on construction projects and may work together. However, the two positions have different responsibilities, and they require different skills and educational backgrounds. Both Architects and draughtsmen will offer a wide range of services from the purely creative aspects of designing your building to the technical aspects of preparing construction documentation and providing support and oversight to you and your contractor during construction. It is important that you thoroughly discuss the range of service each offers to be sure that you will have the right support throughout the whole building process – and no nasty surprises.

Architectural draftsman Draughtsmen, also called draughters, perform some of the same tasks as architects and often work with architects. For the buildings constructed in Mid Canterbury, generally speaking a draughtsman will have the skills and experience necessary to design an attractive house. With computer programmes, draughtsmen are now able to come up with a variety of smart concepts to cover the field of what is generally required for a residential build. A good draughtsman will draw simple but clear plans, and often have excellent technical skills knowledge through hands-on experience. Draughtsmen are perfect for simple additions when you need to match into existing work or for new homes when you already know basically what you want. When designing additions, if you have your existing house plans your final fees are likely to be cheaper.

Architect Architects design and build structures for others to

live in, work, eat, shop and worship. These structures can include homes, schools, office buildings, rooms and complexes that are for indoor, outdoor, public or private use. In addition to being in charge of the overall aesthetics, architects must also make sure these structures are safe, functional and economical. Additionally, architects are often involved in every phase of construction projects, from initial planning to project completion. Only a registered architect can call themselves an architect, and will have obtained an architectural degree after university study. Although the fees of architect are generally much higher than a draftsman, the standard of plans should be more complex, unique and thorough. Architects will usually design something out of the ordinary and include their own style in the plans. Therefore you should go to an architect who has a similar theme to what you require. There are architects that specialise in heritage, contemporary and various period styles. In theory, when you engage an architect the final product should be of a higher standard and return a higher resale figure, but you will pay more for this unique service.

In conclusion The world of architectural design is incredibly varied and while all architectural designers will be able to demonstrate their experience in some areas, it is important that they are able to competently deliver your unique project. Looking at relevant examples of their work and talking with client and contractor referees will help you establish the designer’s competencies. Finally, given that the building project is likely to consume many hours of your time over a number of months, a key element is for you to have an effective professional relationship with your designer. Finding this fit is perhaps the single most important item. Be comfortable with the way your designer communicates and their alignment with your personal values. Positive relationships lead to positive outcomes.

I have recently returned from a fantastic trip to London & Paris where I experienced many of the major attractions. I travelled by Eurostar from London to Paris which was a great way to travel – quick, comfortable and easy. The highlight of my trip was the Fat Tire Evening Bike Tour in Paris which is suitable for even the most novice of cyclists!

HOT Tip: to avoid the queues at Eiffel Tower, consider walking up to the second level, you pay slightly less, get some exercise and save time!

Brothers do the damage for U19s By Jonathan Leask The Meyrick brothers produced with bat and ball to lead the Mid Canterbury under 19s to a win over South Canterbury at the regional tournament in Christchurch yesterday. Mid Canterbury produced a sound effort in the field to dismiss South Canterbury for 127 after 36.5 overs. Sean Strange and Sean Stagg took a wicket each at the top of the innings before Harry Jones took three wickets and the Meyrick boys, Jack and Tom, worked in tandem to finish off the tail. Jones finished with 3/33 off his 10 with Jack Meyrick 3/28 from seven overs and Tom Meyrick 2/14 from 7.2.

Mid Canterbury made a positive start to be 36/1 before Ben Ward was trapped lbw, Will Southby didn’t trouble the scorers and Jones was also out lbw for 14 as Mid Canterbury slumped to 48/4 as South Canterbury’s Glen Drake took to the top order. Tom Meyrick then made a quickfire 19 but became Drake’s fourth victim as Mid Canterbury fell to 67/5, as both teams were halfway to a win in the 25th over. Tom Bird and Jack Meyrick then combined for a crucial sixth wicket partnership, with Meyrick doing most of the damage getting Mid Canterbury to 104 before Bird fell for a stubborn six in the 36th over. Needing 23 off 13 overs, Meyrick continued his charge making an unbeaten 39 not out to steer Mid

Canterbury to a four wicket win. South Canterbury didn’t help their cause giving away 24 extras, but it was a figure matched by Mid Canterbury who had earlier gifted 25 extras to the South Canterbury total. In the two-day match to start the tournament Mid Canterbury was beaten outright by Christchurch Metro. Mid Canterbury produced a solid bowling display to dismiss Metro for 105 with Tom Meyrick taking 6/6, but Mid Canterbury capitulated for 47. Metro then compiled 170 before dismissing Mid Canterbury for 60 to claim the outright win. Mid Canterbury defaulted their match on Wednesday with the players attending former coach Gary Ashworth’s funeral.

• Kuggeleijn fires up Scott Kuggeleijn’s maiden firstclass century guided Wellington to a much-needed seven-wicket win over Central Districts in Plunket Shield action at Karori Park in the capital yesterday. Wellington jumped to third on the standings with the victory that was inspired by an unlucky source on the fourth-and-final day. The home side began the morning on 53-3 in pursuit of 247 with Kuggeleijn, who came in as night watchman on day three, and opener Michael Papps at the crease. The pair turned out to be the only batsmen the CD bowlers would see as Kuggeleijn was particularly aggressive as he plundered an - APNZ unbeaten 142.

Matt Marshall leads out his group in the most recent McGee Cup race on Wednesday. Marshall has proved training each week works wonders taking the win with a good sprint to the line, with one more week of racing before the Christmas break.

Consistency key for Coldstream Busy time for the handicappers By Jonathan Leask The opening round of the Muirhead Rosebowl was a washout, leaving one less round for Mid Canterbury senior cricket teams to make the top four. The clash of the round this week sees round one runners-up Coldstream host the defending Muirhead Rosebowl champions Allenton. Coldstream has scored the most runs averaging 129 a game and conceding an average of 80, showing they are performing consistently. The only blight on their record was the loss to the Sharks in what was the Pritchard Shield decider when they were dismissed for 79, the only

time they have failed with the bat. After a strong start to the season Allenton lost three games in a row, including a 33 run loss to Coldstream, before having backto-back byes. Having the bye in an opening round washout gives Allenton a slight advantage of being able to play all six games compared to the other sides’ five, but for the advantage to fall in their favour they need to snap the losing streak. It will be the second time this season the Sharks have circled Methven, posting 310 on their last visit and dismissing the hosts for 100. Methven have struggled with the bat and need to start producing more runs if they are to be any chance of

a semi-final berth, while the Sharks will be out to keep their unbeaten streak alive as they work towards retaining the Studholme Shield and earning the chance to finally hold aloft all the trophies at the end of the season. Lauriston look to continue their solid season to date by heaping another loss on the Tech Stags. The Stags have so far been lame ducks, convincingly beaten in all six rounds of the Pritchard Shield, however, they also went winless through last season’s Pritchard Shield before making the run to the top four. Fairfield have to wait until next week’s third round for a chance to get on the board with a bye tomorrow.

Testing the waters

Every Wednesday night since daylight saving kicked in, good fields of between 25 to 40 riders have turned up for the McGee Cup Sprint racing held down Frasers Road. Every week is handicap racing, the perfect start for anyone looking to get into competitive cycling, with

newcomers more than welcome to start off the front and try to sneak the line honours from the faster finishing seasoned scratch riders. After next week the racing will return again on the January 16 with competition taking a step up, as points will soon go on offer

towards the overall standings. The format came in last season where the weekly handicapped racing is used by the handicappers to watch the form of riders and put them in the right positions, so each group has the potential to win when the official races begin.

The New England Patriots have scored more points in their last five games (210) than the Arizona Cardinals (186) and Kansas City Chiefs (195) have scored all season. The Patriots have scored 284 points in their last seven games. That is more than 13 NFL teams have scored in the entire season. In their last two home games, the Patriots have outscored their opponents 101-38.

• PureBlack stays home BikeNZ has confirmed PureBlack Racing is no longer registered as a continental trade team. The team’s management has told riders to look for opportunities elsewhere next year. BikeNZ CEO Kieran Turner said yesterday on Radio Sport that the team would race only domestically at best. - APNZ

Hampstead looks to rediscover winning ways By Jonathan Leask Hampstead took the honours in the first round but will look to shake of their first loss of the season when they meet Tinwald to start the second round tomorrow. Hampstead had four straight wins to take an unassailable lead in the first round but couldn’t complete the clean sweep, upstaged by Fairton last weekend. They start the second round looking to bounce back to winning ways against Tinwald, who had just

the one win and a draw in the first round which all began with a 5-1 loss to Hampstead. Tom Deeley will pose a big challenge for Tinwald’s Simon Jordan while off-court friends Luke Glendining and Joseph Langley will resume their on-court rivalry. At number three 12-year-old Ben Deeley goes up against Mid Canterbury’s top 14-year-old Aidan Mitchell, while Isaac Langley and William Blacklow will have their own battle at number four. Dorie will be the favourites but Allenton is the only side with

back-to-back wins under their belt heading into the second round but whether they have turned the corner will get a true test against Dorie. Allenton’s two wins came against the bottom two teams but a strong lower order makes them a tough opponent. Ashleigh Leonard is the only player to have been on court in all five matches for Allenton while Brentton Donaldson and Jack Deeley backing up from last week and Tony Brosnahan fills in at number one, with the tough task of taking on Rhys Cromie.

Cromie will lead the way for Dorie with Todd Boag and Jess McCloy at three and four combining well in the doubles but looking to improve in the singles. Methven is hoping their second round goes better but starts the same way as the first round, with a win over Fairton. Jayden Cromie and Ben Wright have the services of Georgie Mears and Stacey Hopwood. Cromie and Peter Leonard will be a big match-up of the round, playing out a three setter last time they squared off.

Open water swimmers (from left) George McDonald, Matthew Clough, Matthew Harford, Hunter Stewart and Joseph Brown about to sample the water conditions ahead of tomorrow’s Open Water Swim at Lake Hood. By Jonathan Leask Tomorrow’s third annual Lake Hood Open water swim looks set to be a far cry from last year’s nightmare. Terrible weather conditions forced the racing to be shortened with the longest race a 2.5km sprint in the 14 degree water. “The southerly swept through last year and made for pretty miserable race day conditions,” Ashburton Swim coach Carl Gordon said. “Hopefully the weather gods will be a bit kinder this time.” With a high of 22 degrees and the lake’s water temperature registering 20 degrees yesterday, things look likely to be a lot more enjoyable tomorrow. Ashburton swimmers Grace Sommerville and Henry Norris are looking to defend their titles going for hat-tricks of Lake Hood crowns, but will face some stiff competition. Sommerville will resume her rival with Australian Emily Seymour, with the tally at one apiece so far. Seymour was second at the Pan-Pacific championships earlier this year one place in front of Sommerville, but the local swimmer beat her at the recent New South Wales championships. Norris will have two big guns to contend with in the form of Isaac Foot from the High Performance Institute in Wellington and Phillip Ryan who was the National open water champion in 2010. The 10km race also has an added twist this year as the event has incorporated a 4x2.5km relay. “We decided to introduce it to put a few more bodies in the water and encourage some more people to get involved, as well as make it more interesting for the solo swimmers. “There is a team from the local tri-club and some former swim team members back from University that have formed a team and a group of young guys, so the smack talk is already been flying,” Gordon said. Race registration is open on the day with the 10km, 5km and 4x2.5km relay all setting off at 7.30am, with shorter races ranging from 2.5km to 200m to follow.

ALL THE WEEKEND’S RACing fields P19-20 | MEYRICK BROTHERS DO THE DAMAGE FOR MID CANTERBURY U19S P21

Ko a starter for NZ Open Lydia Ko is a confirmed starter for the New Zealand Women’s Golf Open in Christchurch in February. The world No1 amateur, who this year became the youngest winner in the history of the LPGA Tour and the first Kiwi to win on that tour, will look to become the first home champion of the event held at the Clearwater Golf Club. Ko, who made her debut at the New Zealand Women’s Open as a 12-yearold in 2010 at Pegasus, recently played the course for the first time in the pro-am of the NZ Open where she reeled off eight birdies and a bogey for a seven-under-par 65. “It was from the ladies’ yellow tees so it was playing much easier,” said the 15-year-old from Gulf Harbour. “I like the course. “It will be pretty challenging on the back nine when the wind gets up because there is a lot of water. “I am looking forward to playing here in the New Zealand Women’s Open. “I have played well at Pegasus in the past and I think Clearwater will be a great host for the event.” Ko, who arrived at the 2012 event on the back of her record-breaking

win at the NSW Open, attracted thousands of spectators and she is hoping the galleries come out at Clearwater. “It is good to hear that there is a strong field coming down for the tournament, and I look forward to the challenge of competing with them.” The national championship has attracted all four champions of the event so far in Frenchwoman Gwladys Nocera (2009), England’s Laura Davies (2010) and Australians Kristie Smith (2011) and Lindsey Wright (2012). Davies has won 82 professional titles worldwide, with 20 victories on the LPGA. The 49-year-old from England, who is the first non-American to finish at the top of the LPGA money list, has won the LET Order of Merit a record seven times and is a fourtime major champion. The event, which will be staged from February 8-11 holds a special place in the New Zealand sporting landscape as with a purse of $315,000 it is the most lucrative women’s sporting event in the country. - APNZ

Aorangi’s Catherine Knight lines up a putt during her fifth round match against Taranaki’s Holly Winter yesterday.

“The relationship between the Welsh and the English is based on trust and understanding. They don’t trust us and we don’t understand them.”

Close, but no wins for Aorangi By Jonathan Leask Aorangi battled hard but were beaten again on day three of the women’s Interprovincial tournament at Dunedin St Clair Golf Club yesterday. After four losses from the first four rounds Aorangi again came up emptyhanded, going down to Taranaki and Canterbury. Against Taranaki Ashburton’s

6/5 to Celeste McLean, Nicole Martin 4/3 to Rochelle Keegan and Barbara O’Connell, who was in for Heather Oldfield, 5/4 to Vanessa Bouvet. Against the Canterbury Bell side was one down on Sylvie Williams at the midway point of the match, Knight was all square with Elisha Crosbie and Bolderton held a one shot advantage over Jess Guenzerodt while Nathan was two down against Kate Turner and

Catherine Bell took the lead in her match while the rest of the Aorangi women fell behind early. Bell saw off fellow number one Carol Chard for a 5/4 win, while Knight came back from being one down at the mid-way point of their match to record a 3/2 win over Holly Winter. However, the other three Aorangi women were unable to turn the tide as Aorangi went down 3-2. Ginny Bolderton went down

Oldfield four behind Fiona Gebbie. Over the back nine Knight closed out the match to claim a 4/3 win and Bell made up the shot to finish all square with Williams, but again the team’s lower order recorded losses. Bolderton was overtaken for a 3/1 loss, Nathan couldn’t catch Turner finishing one down and Oldfield went down 4/3 to Fiona Gebbie. Aorangi have the bye today.

Style change required for Phoenix By Daniel Richardson

Lydia Ko: looking forward to competing with four previous champions

Fans have been calling for the Wellington Phoenix to play a more attractive brand of football and even the owners have got involved saying the club needs to produce a better product.

As the A-League franchise struggles to pull punters through the gate, Welnix consortium member Gareth Morgan said the club were working on changing their style. “We are trying to go towards what they call ‘total football’,” Morgan said yesterday. “Changing the formation ... from

4-4-2 to 4-3-3 to make for a more attacking sort of game and that’s a big change for the players, particularly the midfield who have to do a hell of a lot more work with only three in there rather than four. “That’ll take time to adjust but we are going to stick to this because I think it’s attractive football.”

Morgan said he was aware of the club’s reputation that they were perceived as a boring side but noted the owners, players and coaches had bought in to the idea of changing that. He also reiterated the club’s top brass would do what it takes to produce a team they could be proud of. - APNZ

Test cricket ‘would risk Malinga’s career’ By David Beniuk Sri Lanka say they would be risking pace weapon Lasith Malinga’s career by asking him to bring his brilliant Twenty20 form to the Test arena. Malinga bagged the second best T20 figures of all time in a major

“I think with the injuries he’s had in the last few years, it’s pretty unfair of us to ask him to come and play Test cricket,” Jayawardene told reporters on the eve of the first Test against Australia at Bellerive. “If he feels he is 100 per cent he’ll probably make that call by himself. “Every time he picks up wickets in a one-dayer or a T20, everyone

seems to be putting their hand up and saying he should be playing Test cricket. But three or four years back, everyone thought his career was finished.” Malinga missed 18 months of cricket with the knee injury that eventually resulted in him quitting Tests in 2010. His sheer pace will be missed

by Sri Lanka, but Jayawardene is happy just to have him in his limited overs sides. “Do we risk all that by getting him to play Test cricket?” the skipper said. “We saw what Siddle did the other week - he bowled 60. Can Malinga do that? I don’t think so. I don’t think we need to make that call and risk his career.” - AAP
