Businesses demand local loyalty

By Sue Newman Ashburton business owners have accused the Ashburton District Council of turning its back on local businesses and sending its work out of town.

The failure to keep work in the local market has long rankled with business owners and while they may not get the job, they say the least they want is the opportunity to submit a quote.

For some, the final straw came

when the council went out of town for its new logo design and for signwriting on its vehicles.

Ashburton signwriter Simon Worrall is angry that none of the district’s five signwriting companies were given the opportunity to quote on the vehicle rebranding work.

If the locals had been offered an opportunity to quote and had either declined or missed out, they could accept that; what they could not accept was being passed over in favour of an out-of-town company, Mr Worrall said.

“And you have to ask, who did the design work? It seems the council couldn’t be bothered getting anyone here to do that either. I’ve spoken to all the signwriters and they’re brassed off. None of us would mind if one of the others in town got the work, but no one did.”

As both a businessman and a ratepayer Clive Watson said the failure to use local business ran counter to the philosophy of shopping locally.

“At the very least they should check out the locals first and if we

price ridiculously high, then go out of town. A lot of money has gone out of town with this project. And it happens regularly.”

Businessman Kieron Breakwell believes the signwriting contract was just one of many council jobs that have not been carried out locally.

“We’ve been told that if the job is under $5000 it doesn’t have to be tendered. What does it matter how much it is, why not keep that money in town, why not support the businesses the council wants

to support them.” Business owners accepted they would not get every job they submitted a quote for, but they wanted the opportunity to quote, he said.

“The council should be doing everything it can, everything within its powers to support local businesses most of the time. It’s crucial, absolutely crucial in a small town for people to support one another. To send business out of town, you have to have rocks in your head.”

Council chief executive Brian Lester defended the council’s out of

town vehicle signwriting, saying it was part of the larger rebranding, logo design project.

Before it went out of town with its logo design, he said the council did look locally, but a decision was made to look elsewhere.

Mayor Angus McKay was adamant the council tried to shop locally whenever it could.

“The logo company was appointed by a staff member to handle design and the first run of the vehicles on the understanding that the rest would be done locally.”

He gave two examples of the council buying product locally – paper for its printers was sourced locally and travel tickets were bought through local businesses.

The council has bands for the value of its work and the way in which prices are to be obtained: less than $2000, staff have specific delegations; between $2000 and $5000 quotes and written orders are required; between $5000 and $20,000 competitive quotes are required. Work with a higher value is put to tender.

“He was also the first Pope to own an iPod and know how to use it,” 8-year-old Henry Hobbs said.

Pupil Milli Sullivan had high praise for the role, saying “he has to know the whole bible off by heart”.

Ashburton catholic Michael Hanrahan said the new Pope would bring a sense of reality to the faith, but he did not expect there to be huge change locally just yet.

“He looks as though he might be quite pastoral, which is what we want, someone who understands the people rather than the rules and regulations.”

He may only be one day into the new job, but Mid Cantabrians already have high hopes for newly-elected Pope Francis I. Early yesterday, 1.2 billion Catholics were told of their new leader as white smoke billowed from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel, marking a historic and surprising moment for followers of the faith.

Argentina’s Jorge Mario Bergoglio, 76, who is now the first Latin American Pope, walked on to the balcony of the Vatican yesterday morning (NZ time) as Catholics in Mid Canterbury watched on over their breakfast.

Seeing the changing face of Catholicism over his lifetime, Holy Name Parish Ashburton priest Father Geoff Gray said it was a touching moment to see a South American pope, a place he held close to his heart after spending several years working in Bolivia.

He hoped Pope Francis I would bring a broad vision to the church.

Pope Francis I, the 266th pontiff, is known for living a basic lifestyle, taking the bus to work and devoting his life to the poor.

A stark contrast to recent popes who have come from educated European backgrounds.

Fr Gray spent eight years of his life in Bolivia, a third world country where he helped poverty-stricken South Americans with infant mortality and health, learning to speak Spanish along the way.

“A lot of the church come from third world countries, most Catholics in the world are poor and don’t live in powerful nations.

“So he will be a voice for the poor.”

Ashburton’s St Joseph’s School has spent weeks brushing up on their papal knowledge, and yesterday’s revelation opened the opportunity to spill all they knew on the former pope and what they expected from Francis I. The youngsters said they were disappointed to see pope-emeritus Benedict XVI leave the role, a man who could fly a helicopter, preferred to play piano over sports and enjoyed his pancakes with ravioli.

They said Francis I would

Mid Canterbury farmers on irrigation schemes are desperate for rain and a rise in river levels as tough restrictions set in.

Farmers on the Rangitata Diversion Race (RDR) are on 50 per cent restrictions, after a prolonged dry period, suffering the worst drought conditions for 13 years.

RDR Ashburton L yndhurst chairperson John van Polanen, who farms 690 dairy cows at Winchmore, said farmers were coping as cooler weather and dewy evenings had set in.

But they were counting on rain and showers forecast for early next week to fall on the plains, or to at least fall in the district’s upper areas and see river levels rise.

The RDR scheme carries water sourced from the Rangitata and Ashburton Rivers to about 380 farmers.

If the rain did not arrive, then some dairy farmers could be faced with drying off early.

RDR Mayfield Hinds chairperson David Keeley said farmers were coping on the 50 per cent restrictions “sort of okay”.

“Our irrigation is designed to be supplemented by rainfall, not replace rainfall, when it’s 50 per cent allocation it just puts that pressure on.”

RDR Valletta chairperson Alistair Morrison said lower evapotranspiration levels in the past couple of weeks had led to less irrigation demand, and rain forecast for next week would see a further drop in demand if it arrived.

“That will be a godsend to us,” Mr Morrison said.

“There’s potential for things to get a lot worse if it doesn’t rain.”

Meanwhile, the Valletta scheme was kicking into gear a $30 million pipe and storage scheme yesterday with water being fed into pipes for the first time.

RDR chief executive officer Ben Curry said it was normal to have restrictions this time of year, but it was on top of a protracted dry

Ben Curry period. Farmers were going into autumn with low water levels in the rivers and low soil moisture levels.

“We are looking to the skies and looking for rain,” Mr Curry said.

Meanwhile, the Barrhill Chertsey Irrigation (BCI) scheme has been on full restrictions for four weeks. It sources its water from the Rakaia River, which is also distributed via the RDR. Manager John Wright said conditions were “challenging”.

The timing of the dry period was proving detrimental to newly sown crops and later crops on arable farms, and was particularly affecting pastoral farms, especially dairying properties.

Farmers were having to change stock diets to work around a lack of grass.

“It’s not as serious as some of the North Island areas,” Mr Wright said.

This was due to lower evapotranspiration levels here due to cooler conditions.

Dairy farmers would be looking to offload cull stock earlier than usual, and some might have dropped to once per day milking.

“We are obviously looking forward to this weekend where if nothing else we expect to get river water so we can start the scheme up again and can bank some water in Lake Coleridge.”

Family violence declining

By Sam Morton Family violence in Mid Canterbury appears to be on the decline, while South Canterbury figures have spiked, according to police statistics.

The figures, obtained by a domestic violence expert, are the official figures from the NZ Police headquarters, and show the gradual trend occurring in Mid-South Canterbury from 2006 to 2011.

In general, family violence in the district makes up less than 10 per cent of all reported crimes.

In 2011, Ashburton Police recorded 1832 crimes, yet only 152 of those were classified as family violence disputes. Other crimes were categorised as incidents only, meaning no arrest was made.

Domestic violence and policy advisor Rob Veale told the Guardian Mid Canterbury was doing “very well”, reflecting on the low level of family violence crimes in the district.

“There are some really good things going on in and around Ashburton with Safer Ashburton and Poppy Vear is doing some great things with the It’s Not OK campaign – it’s all contributing in a big way,” Mr Veale said.

“Mid-South Canterbury is most

definitely going against the area trend and that’s a great start for many reasons. The rest of the region hasn’t gone mad, but Mid Canterbury police units are obviously dealing with family violence seriously and at the level it should be dealt with,” Mr Veale said.

Mr Veale, who was a former detective and manager of a police violence reduction unit, believes the statistics only serve as a gauge and said it was difficult to draw a correlation between all the figures – leaving room for a margin of error.

While the figures clearly show a drop in family violence in Mid Canterbury, domestic disputes in the area have risen.

However, on a national scale, Mid Canterbury appears to be going the right way and the number of incidents, both domestic and family related, are well down.

“The numbers could have something to do with a new coding policy and reporting policy within the local police force – and of course there will be some women (and men) who choose not to report the violence and abuse, because they may be scared or otherwise to do so,” Mr Veale said.

“For example, you may hear yelling and screaming between two adults and while that may not be a crime, it’s still bloody scary behaviour for a

child to see and it will fit under the family violence bracket meaning the statistics for incidents will increase.”

The statistics, released under the Official Information Act, also show the stark comparison between Ashburton and Timaru, among other smaller stations in the MidSouth Canterbury policing district.

On average, the graphs indicated Timaru police deal with almost double the number of family violence incidents from year to year.

In 2011, Timaru Police recorded 350 family violence incidents, while Ashburton chalked up just 150.

The previous year, Timaru charged people for 325 occurrences, while Ashburton again enjoyed the slightly quieter lifestyle with just 200 incidents.

Mr Veale said although Ashburton did not have a Women’s Refuge base, the support services and support people in place were doing an excellent job.

Women at risk were well catered for by the Timaru Women’s Refuge, Mr Veale said.

“A whole raft of reasons can make up, tilt and balance statistics, but overall, it appears people in the district are reporting these incidents at every opportunity and that can only be a good thing.

“As a rule, it seems to be for every

Ashburton police have charged a teenager with six offences following a spate of burglaries and thefts earlier this year. The 17-year-old has confessed to the charges, the bulk of which were committed in Pages Road and Walshs Road last month. Further charges were laid in relation to thefts from a motel and the loading bay at the New World Supermarket. Police anticipate more charges will follow and have not ruled out charging suspected accomplices.

• Toddler named 10 incidents that came in last year, six of them were crimes, while the other four were recorded as incidents only,” Mr Veale said.

“You can always improve an area and there can always be things done better, but right now Mid Canterbury

has fast improved and is going well.”

Mr Veale visited Ashburton last month to speak with Safer Ashburton and other domestic violence advocates in the area to discuss further plans of expanding support resources in Mid Canterbury.

A man has pleaded guilty to two charges of manslaughter stemming from a horror crash on Christmas Day 2011. Hetaraka Hikurangi Reihana changed his earlier not guilty pleas at the Hamilton District Court. The charges stem from a crash in Welcome Bay, Tauranga, in which Reihana’s teenage cousins were killed.

Sea life studies brought to life The beach was brought to Hampstead School yesterday. As part of the school’s sea life studies, University of Canterbury marine ecologist and former Hampstead School pupil Stacie Lilley (above) joined fellow researchers Mike Hickford and Paul South to teach senior pupils about starfish and other wonders of the underwater world. The school had already taken trips to Timaru to research the rocky shore, and yesterday’s lessons further extended their knowledge of seawater life and of those who work in the field.

CanBead trust wants your help Mid Canterbury’s CanBead Charitable Trust has dramatically changed the lives of those experiencing serious illness, trauma or loss.

Through jewellery making kits, the trust has allowed those doing it rough to escape the grind of everyday life - and it wants to take it further.

But it needs your help.

The CanBead Charitable Trust is hoping to win one of 25 Toyota Corollas up for grabs, which it could use to access others who are suffering in the wider region.

“It will help immensely, at the moment we are using our own vehicles and we want to expand to reach other parts of Canterbury,” chairperson and founder of the trust Sarah Clifford said.

“It means we will be able to reach more kids and hold more workshops.”

• Guilty plea

The death of a 19-year-old man whose body was found in a Christchurch park this afternoon is not believed to be suspicious.

Police were called to South Hagley Park, near Deans Ave, about 12.40pm yesterday after a member of the public reported finding the body in an open, water-filled drain.

The site was cordoned off and a full forensic examination was carried out.

Detective Senior Sergeant Darryl Sweeney said it was likely the body was in the water for several hours before being discovered.

The name of the dead man will not be released until he has been formally identified and next of kin notified.

The matter has been referred to the Coroner.

“We had all that extra money in the previous year to spend on marketing and the spike was directly related to it. We’ve now returned to a more normal situation,” Mr Birt said.

In January 21,659 guest nights were recorded giving an occupancy rate of 28.10 per cent. The average length of stay in the district’s 39 commercial accommodation outlets was 2.14 nights.

Canterbury guest nights were up 5 per cent with Selwyn and Christchurch leading in growth, 24 per cent and 9.1 per cent respectively.

Business was brisk at the district’s I-Sites with foot traffic increasing by 6.33 per cent in Ashburton to hit 6968 visitors. Methven’s door counter numbers were marginally down at 4550.

A spike in the Ashburton District’s guest night numbers last year was directly related to a big marketing spend, a tourism leader says.

A combined investment by the Ashburton District Council and tourism operators was used in the 2011/2012 year for a focused marketing campaign for the district, post the February 2011 Canterbury earthquake.

And that investment of $70,000 paid big dividends, Experience Mid Canterbury chief executive Nigel Birt said, showing up as a significant spike in guest nights in commercial accommodation, lifting numbers by more than 4000 in January 2012.

This year guest night numbers returned to their normal level, but that showed as a 16 per cent decline. The decline in nights belonged to Ashburton, down 20.92 per

Senior staff depart council

By Sue Newman Farewell appears to be the buzz word at the Ashburton District Council as senior staff retire or resign and move on.

Just 10 weeks into 2013 the council has already farewelled community services manager, John Rollinson, who has retired and it has received resignations from two more senior staff, build-

ing services manager Mark Fields and regulatory manager Richard Wade.

A third resignation has been received from long-time planning team member Cheryl Yates who is retiring. Between them Mr Fields, Mr Wade and Mrs Yates severely deplete staff numbers in group manager Jane Donaldson’s environmental services team.

Mr Fields leaves the council next month at a time when his depart-

his regulatory manager’s role for another two months but will return to the United Kingdom.

Later this year, the council will also farewell its chief executive of 13 years, Brian Lester.

Last year councillors had the option of rolling his position over for two years before they were required to advertise it to all comers, but they elected to go to the market immediately.

Mr Lester could have applied for

ment is already under intense pressure, dealing with rapidly increasing numbers of complex building consents. Already consents are being contracted to other local authorities as council staff strive to keep processing times within the statutory timeframe of 20 days.

When he leaves the council, Mr Fields takes up a position as facilities manager with the Timaru District Health Board.

Mr Wade does not relinquish

the job but chose not to and the council is now working through the process of finding a replacement.

Another council manager Rob Rouse, is working in an unsettled environment.

He is continuing in his role as operations manager in the interim until Mr Lester’s replacement is appointed. His position will then be advertised.

That position will then become

Dogs’ day out

Kara dives into a life without limitations

By Gabrielle Stuart Dogs around Ashburton will be clearing space on their social calendars this weekend for the Dog Day Out on Saturday.

With a fashion parade, agility course, snacks for both dogs and their owners and many freebies and prizes to be won, there will be plenty to do at Ashburton’s first dog day out.

Ashburton vet Juan Gray from VetEnt organised the event with support from Port FM, and said he hoped it would be the first of many.

“It’ll be fun and there are plenty of freebies. It’s for anybody that just wants to come along and have a fun day, either with the dog or just on their own.”

Free health checks and cheap micro-chipping will be done on the day, and voucher packs are available for anyone who registers.

The event will be held at 11am at the Industrial Park on Riverside Terrace in Ashburton. Dogs should attend in their favourite outfits and stay on their leads.

By Sue Newman Don’t tell Kara Hall her life should be limited by her wheelchair.

Tomorrow she’s going skydiving, and next on her agenda will be a whitewater rafting trip. And that has everything to do with a generation of young people who wheel rather than walk, deciding that lack of mobility will not hold them back.

Mrs Hall has been wheelchair-bound for 12 years after she broke her back in a farming accident.

Today she’s working full-time, is married, travels, drives a car and lives life to the fullest. She’s just celebrated her 10th wedding anniversary, marrying her pre-accident boyfriend.

One of the big things the 30-year-old has missed over the past 12 years is the ability to take part in challenging, physical activities.

Now she believes she’s found the answer in Jezza Williams and his outdoor adventure company Making Trax.

A canyoning accident two years ago put Mr Williams in a wheelchair, but he has continued his involvement in adventure sports. He’s put together an event this weekend on Rangitata Island that will provide an opportunity for people in wheelchairs to skydive.

It was an opportunity Mrs Hall couldn’t pass up.

“Even before the accident I had this adrenalin thing and it’s great to have the opportunity to do outdoor activities like this that would normally be considered off limits for wheelchairs,” she said.

She’s booked a spot on the course and says she’s hoping the skydiving experience will

With Mr Lester terminating his employment in September, the appointment of a manager to the service delivery position is unlikely to be made until his replacement joins the council’s staff.

open new doors to people in wheelchairs who still want to live active lives.

From the safety of home, Kara said she’s pretty relaxed about the prospect of jumping out of a plane, but when the time comes to fly, she admits she might be more than a little nervous.

“What’s so cool about this is it will show other people that being in a wheelchair doesn’t have to slow you down.”

The weekend’s skydive school is shaping up to be a big event with about 40 registrations, at least 10 of those are people in wheelchairs.

Mr Williams said he had skydived several times himself and understood the adaptations that needed to be made for jumpers who could not use their legs. As a former outdoor adventurer he said he understood the importance of opening up high-risk activities to people in wheelchairs.

“I’ve only been in a chair for a couple of years, but a lot of people who’ve been in chairs for a long time have told me they’re often turned away from activities because of their chairs.

“Our vision is to enable wheelchair riders to feel the amazing freedom of the great outdoors in the adventure capital of the world,” he said.

“I’m now a C5 tetraplegic so I understand how important it is to experience the power of freedom, wilderness and adventure. Making Trax came about from an intense thinking time during the 12-month rehabilitation period I faced after my canyoning accident in the Swiss Alps in 2010.”

Prior to his accident, Mr Williams had spent more than 15 years working in the adventure tourism industry.

Pope’s election a significant moment in time T

he Catholic Church is buzzing after Pope Francis I was named as its new leader yesterday.

In our increasingly secular society, the naming of the 266th pope may not mean much to those who have no immediate relationship with the Catholic Church, but even outsiders have taken notice of this major global event that has impacted on 1.2 billion believers in all corners of the world.

The Catholic Church has played a major role in world history and even in 2013 affects

OUR VIEW many in the Mid Canterbury region.

Whether you go to church on Sundays, attend or have children at Catholic schools, or are one of many lapsed Catholics who do not participate but still tick the Catholic box in surveys, the election of a pope is a significant moment in time.

A new leader is especially crucial in the current climate where the Catholic Church has made headlines for a host of

sex scandals around the world, including many prominent clerics, who either participated or covered up numerous unsavoury acts.

Intriguingly, the cardinals have yet again elected an older leader, the 76-year-old Argentine cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, where many had hoped for a younger pope to emerge from the white smoke.

Pope Benedict XVI was the first pope in 600 years to step

Coen Lammers editor

down after deciding that an 85-year-old could no longer fulfil the heavy demands of the papacy.

This move indicted that the role required younger blood but the cardinals clearly felt the

76-year-old from Argentina still has enough vigour to deal with the strains.

The biggest surprise in his election was the fact that he has become the first pope from outside of Europe, but with the Catholic power base in Latin America, this seemed long overdue.

The fact that the new pope has Italian heritage would have been a major asset in the highly political power struggle behind each election.

remains one of the great mysteries in life, a remnant of days when the Catholic Church ruled over kings and emperors and dictated every facet of people’s lives.

Those days are long gone and many Catholics have found it increasingly difficult to combine their modern beliefs and principals with the edicts coming out of Rome.

Pope Benedict caused much dissent among his followers with his views on contraception, abortion and gay marriages and the new pope will face a

YOUR VIEW Needles A texting correspondent this morning claimed that she finds it necessary to go to Christchurch for needles for a finger pricking device for blood samples for a test procedure associated with diabetes.

I find this extraordinary having been diagnosed with this complaint over 20 years ago.

Every need has been catered for locally, educationally by the Diabetes Staff at the Hospital with any equipment available either there or at a local chemist.

The cost of one trip to Christchurch would have more than covered anything I have paid in over 20 years.

What should be of more concern will be the “factory” aspect of the proposed complex.

School buses A well written commentary describing an absolute fiasco.

Lowest dollar at (disadvantaged human cost) appears to have been the Ministry of Education’s sole objective. They will argue otherwise with patsy words.

I see now that Associate Education Minister Nikki Kaye has called for a Reference Group to be set up to look at the problems not just in Ashburton, but in many other areas of New Zealand.

The saying, “if it ain’t broke why fix it” springs readily to mind.

I just wonder what the “cost”

of the angst, the other arrangements that parents are making, the safety question that has now arisen and the setting up of the reference group is going to be, versus leaving well alone.

You are correct that this is affecting a minority group, but this situation should need as much investigation as the Novopay saga, if not more, given the impact on vulnerable students and families.

Where was the due diligence behind the decision making?

MOE should be taken to task on what enquiries they made when undertaking such a drastic change.

I know there have been fiascos in other New Zealand areas as well, upsetting special needs transport that until this year, worked perfectly well.

Same-sex marriage campaigners say the overwhelming support for the bill at its second hurdle is a ringing endorsement which shows MPs are in line with the views of ordinary New Zealanders.

Labour MP Louisa Wall’s bill passed its second reading on Wednesday 77 votes to 44, a drop in support of three votes from the first reading.

Campaign for Marriage Equality spokesman Conrad Reyners said the vote was a second ringing endorsement for marriage equality.

“Parliament has listened to the voices of thousands of New Zealanders, many of who explained how positive and important this change was for their dignity and their lives.”

Mr Reyners said the debate had been controversial, and he recognised the depth of feeling on all sides.

“We are proud to see Parliament voting with the majority of ordinary kiwis, who know marriage is about love, family and commitment,” he said.

“This vote is another step forward for love, for fairness and for equal treatment before the law.”

Conservative lobby group Family First this morning said it would continue to oppose the bill.

“It is hugely concerning that the politicians failed to grasp some critical consequences of changing the definition of marriage,” national director Bob McCoskrie said.

He said there was almost no discussion at the second reading about the bill’s impact on adoption law.

Redefining marriage would allow same-sex partners to adopt as a couple, which Mr McCoskrie said was a change that was being “snuck under the door”.

Mr McCoskrie also voiced concerns that independent celebrants could be coerced into marrying same-sex couples.

The bill allows celebrants who are part of religious organisations to decline marrying same-sex couples, but does not extend that to independent celebrants.

Mr McCoskrie said it was highly

Conrad Reyners ironic that the Greens and Labour were determined to have a referendum on asset sales but would not allow one on marriage.

An attempt by New Zealand First leader Winston Peters to delay the law change, until a referendum could be held at the 2014 general election, was voted down by a margin of 83 votes to 33.

Ms Wall last night said the bill’s progress had sent an important message to the gay, lesbian and transgender community.

“You don’t have to change. You can be who you are.”

She said marriage equality was about fairness and choice for all New Zealanders.

“Tonight’s progress means those unable to access the institution of marriage for no reason other than their sex, sexual orientation or gender identity are a step closer in their fight against discrimination.

“The depth of feeling expressed by those in and out of Parliament has been moving. Parliamentarians on both sides of the debate spoke with honesty and with passion this evening.”

She stressed the importance of freedom of religion in making the law change, but also made a plea to churches to consider the rights of the gay and transgender community “with love, compassion and reason”.

The bill is likely to return to Parliament for the committee stage at the end of the month, when MPs will pick through it clause by clause.

Top Gear star Jeremy Clarkson has apologised to fans and news crews who left disappointed after travelling to Ninety Mile Beach to see him.

A few hardy fans of the hit BBC series camped out on the beach all day on Wednesday in the hope of seeing Clarkson and his co-stars.

However, by the end of the day there was no sign of a vehicle or the Top Gear stars.

Clarkson said sorry to those left disappointed in a tweet sent just before midday yesterday.

“Apologies to people and news crews who had a wasted journey to Ninety Mile Beach. We were there but only briefly,” he said.

He earlier apologised directly to Jovica Mrkela, who said he had driven from Auckland to the beach with his nine-year-old son in the hope of meeting Clarkson.

“Would you apologise to him. As usual, the media made stuff up about what we are doing here.”

Clarkson went on to tweet an image of himself reading the Northland Age’s story about the tension between the Far North District Council and local iwi over the Top Gear filming.

“I’d like to correct one report though. The Top Gear crew are not “less than friendly. They are terrifying.”

Top Gear was on Ninety Mile Beach filming a road versus water race for an upcoming series of the show.

It is understood Clarkson was behind the wheel of a red Toyota Corolla hatchback seen zooming along the beach in a race to the

Far North, while fellow host James May, on the America’s Cup yacht Oracle, raced from the Coromandel Peninsula to the same destination.

They returned to the beach on Wednesday to do extra filming from a helicopter.

Some locals managed to get close to the action.

Ngati Kuri kaumatua Pineaha Murray told One News: “We had to hide ourselves because we couldn’t be seen to be in the environment. So we were hiding there making out that we weren’t there,” he laughed.

Mr Murray was given the task of finishing the race with a blessing.

Local business owner Rose Spicer said she and husband David - who run the local sand surf business Ahikaa Adventures - saw a bit of the big race.

“We went down the Ninety Mile Beach, just for a walk and stuff, and on our way up from Scott Point we saw some lights flashing [and] a couple of cars came zooming round the corner and disappeared quick as, Mrs Spicer said.

“We sort of knew what it was.”

A number of other locals were hesitant to give details of Tuesday’s race or anything to do with the TV crew.

Graeme Neho, chairman of the Muriwhenua group of northern iwi, said he could not talk to the media because it was “Top Gear’s story”.

Ngati Kuri Trust Board chairman Harry Burkhardt said he could speak about Top Gear only after the crew had left the country.

By Adam Bennett The Government might reconsider plans to tax employers on inner-city carparks they provide to employees if it finds the additional costs on businesses would outweigh the revenue raised, Finance Minister Bill English says.

However, Mr English said he didn’t believe the tax would lumber businesses with $30 million in additional compliance costs as suggested by a lobby group.

The FBT [Fringe Benefit Tax] Action Group, made up of industry and business groups, has now enlisted the country’s top advertising agencies and plans a publicity blitz to oppose the tax.

The group on Wednesday gave its submission against the proposal to extend fringe benefit tax to all employer-provided carparks in Auckland and Wellington CBDs. It says the new tax would mean businesses paying close to $1500 a year for each on-site parking space and over $2350 for each commercial parking space they paid for employees to use. That would discourage employers from providing workers with parks.

Unlikely ally Matt McCarten of the Unite Union has warned the move would cause safety problems for nightshift workers. Many would be forced to walk to cars parked away from their workplaces “at unsafe hours in some of the most unsafe parts of the city, risk-

ing assault and rape”.

While it is estimated the tax would raise $17 million in revenue, the FBT Action Group yesterday said it would add $30 million to business compliance costs.

Mr English said he didn’t believe the $30 million estimate was accurate. However, he said officials would look at what those costs would be, “because it would be unreasonable to have a tax if the compliance costs were really big”.

Asked if that meant the Government might reconsider the tax, Mr English said if compliance costs were “way out of proportion, yes we would”.

Ben Fields of accounting firm Lock & Partners, which prepared the estimate, stood by his num-

bers and welcomed Mr English’s willingness to reconsider the tax if those numbers were proved accurate.

Mr Fields noted the proposal’s unintended consequences included the likelihood that CBD schools and healthcare facilities would end up paying tax on carparks provided to teachers, nurses and other healthcare workers and carparks provided to public servants, including Inland Revenue Department officials who were also likely to be subject to the tax.

Act leader John Banks has indicated he’s unlikely to vote for the tax and Labour’s revenue spokesman, David Cunliffe, said his party would not support the legislation in its present form.

Dishonest lawyer struck off roll

By Edward Gay A lawyer who spent other people’s money after being duped by a $27 million email inheritance scam has been struck off.

John David Rangitauira was sentenced to four and a half years in jail when he appeared before the Auckland District Court in 2011 after being found guilty of four charges of obtaining by deception.

Now the experienced lawyer has had his distinguished career ended after the Lawyers and Conveyances

Disciplinary Tribunal ordered that he be struck from the roll.

Rangitauira was duped after agreeing to help a client who got an email purporting to be from a ‘Central Bank’ about a massive inheritance.

She promised Rangitauira, a senior partner at a Rotorua firm, about $6 million if he helped her secure the cash.

When scammers demanded money to clear the inheritance, Rangitauira borrowed $506,000 from Westpac saying he needed it to buy property overseas.

He also used $338,834 from a Maori trust he chaired and did legal work for, telling trustees he was putting it in the bank.

His determination to help his client took him to Amsterdam where the pair were shown pallets of cash as proof of the inheritance but the money never arrived.

The disciplinary tribunal in Wellington found that Rangitauira’s convictions had brought the legal profession into disrepute.

Rangitauira did not fight the move to have him struck off.

New Zealand Law Society President Jonathan Temm said the offending showed what happened when a senior lawyer lost sight of his professional responsibilities and allowed himself to become personally financially involved in the affairs of his client.

“Clients place a very high degree of trust in their lawyer, and any abuse of this is an extremely serious matter. Any lawyer who breaks the rules for the duty of care they owe their clients can expect that conduct to be reviewed.”

‘I am an alcoholic’

By Daniel Richardson Zac Guildford celebrated his latest reprieve in his fledgling rugby career with chocolate rather than a pint.

The Crusaders’ wing has been thrown yet another lifeline by the New Zealand Rugby Union and, even up until Wednesday night, there was a possibility he would have had his contract torn up.

Guildford met with NZRU officials during the week for a misconduct hearing following his latest alcohol-related misdemeanour when he allegedly assaulted a fellow party-goer in Christchurch at the end of January.

Since then, the 10-test All Black has undergone a 28-day stint in rehab, and admitted for the first time in his life he is an alcoholic.

It was his honesty that saw him retained by his employer, the NZRU, and he was thankful for another opportunity.

“I went on a bit of a chocolate binge last night; a packet of M&Ms,” Guildford said. “But I guess the way I’ll celebrate is getting back down to my brothers at the Crusaders tomorrow and really get back into training and connecting with a few friends down there that I haven’t seen for a while, and build on those relationships.”

Guildford’s career has been littered with booze-related indiscretions, including a now infamous display in a Rarotonga bar when he turned up drunk and naked, and allegedly assaulted a patron.

NZRU general manager of professional rugby Neil Sorensen said he finally felt

Zac Guildford Guildford was ready to confront his problems.

“I think the key thing that we’ve seen, is that for the first time since we’ve been dealing with this young man that he’s finally being honest with us and honest with himself and honest with his mates,” Sorensen said.

“We were at this stage 14 months ago post-Rarotonga but we didn’t get there.

But the difference really is that Zac said, ‘Look, I’m actually an alcoholic’.

And all the medical information and experts have said this kid’s an alcoholic, this kid’s got a mental illness and Zac’s accepted that, and over the last two days it didn’t really matter what submissions were put forward.

“When this young man spoke about himself and in brutal honesty it wasn’t a hard decision to make.”

Sorensen said the latest reprieve wasn’t Guildford’s last chance, and they

30 ASHBURTON GUARDIAN, Friday, March 15, 2013

would keep monitoring him.

“I think we’ve proven that we deal with every incident on its merits.”

In an open and honest press conference at the new NZRU offices yesterday, Guildford fielded numerous questions about his battle with the bottle, and answered each of them thoughtfully.

The 24-year-old, who first played for Hawkes Bay in 2007 when 18, said his addiction to drink hadn’t been brought about by the fishbowl lifestyle All Blacks can be subjected to.

“Nah, I don’t think it was ever part of the pressure. It was just part of who I was growing up. We all did it, and I was just one of those ones who can’t handle it.”

He said his time in rehab, believed to be at the exclusive Ahuru Recovery Retreat near Ohakune, was revealing and he thanked New Zealand Rugby Players Association boss Rob Nichol and his agent Simon Porter for their efforts.

“I went there thinking I knew it all but I didn’t, and that’s where I got out of the denial stage and started accepting who I am and realising that I can’t do what I have been doing in past. And with the help of Rob and Simon I’ve got there, and it’s probably the best thing that I’ve done so far for myself.”

Guildford said he didn’t have any desire to drink alcohol in the future in any capacity.

“I don’t plan to, but I can only make that decision one day at a time, and that’s the easiest process for me. But I don’t see it in my future.”

He might have to make do with a few bags of M&Ms, instead.

By Susan Sandys Ashburton resident Ian Johnson has been without a landline for two months since moving house, due to the “incompetence” of telephone companies.

Finally this week his household was connected, after the 73-year-old school bus driver and his wife Valerie moved in to their new home on Brahm Lane in mid January.

Mr Johnson said the saga began when they phoned their landline provider Slingshot in early January to say they would be moving house on January 18.

First the company confirmed it would be able to connect his landline with the same number at the new address as soon as they moved in. But Slingshot later got back to him and said they could not do it because the subdivision into which they were moving only had copper wire, and not new fibre optic cable.

He thought that was “rubbish”, because where they were currently connected, just 400 metres away on Carters Terrace, also had copper wire.

Mr Johnson was forced to look at other landline providers, and went to Telecom and three others. This time he found they were saying the opposite to what Slingshot said, that they could not connect the phone up because the subdivision had new fibre optic cable and not old copper wire.

“No-one believed what was there, and they didn’t think it was important enough to send someone to look at us,” Mr Johnson said.

He managed to convince Telecom that the subdivision did in fact have copper wire, and the company agreed to take him on as a customer and connect the household.

However, this was the beginning of a whole new dilemma for the Johnsons, as it took several more weeks for that connection to be made.

Telecom had to rely on contractors to get there and make the connection, and that seemed to take forever.

Finally, last Friday a technician visited and spent one-and-a-half hours connecting cables, and on Tuesday they spent an additional hour, completing the job.

“It was two-and-a-half hours total, and it took two months, but the biggest problem was getting people to believe everything (correct cables) was there to start with,” Mr Johnson said.

Slingshot chief executive officer Mark Callander said yesterday Slingshot did not connect phones in residential areas with fibre optic cable, but would be starting to do so next week.

Slingshot’s records showed the Johnsons’ new house was in a fibre only area, so their request to have

Solid Energy hit by the ‘perfect storm’ Whittall wants trial shifted

By Kate Shuttleworth and Adam Bennett The former head of Solid Energy Don Elder has blamed the troubled coal company’s $389 million debt on the “perfect storm” of unprecedented coal price falls last year and the strong Kiwi dollar.

Dr Elder fronted for the first time before the commerce committee at Parliament yesterday alongside former chairman John Palmer.

Dr Elder said the committee had always been the appropriate place for him to give answers on the fate of the company.

He said it wasn’t just New Zealand coal companies that were feeling the brunt of a drop in the price of coal, but US companies were also in serious trouble.

He said the situation with Solid Energy needed to be looked at within an international context.

Dr Elder offered an apology to workers on the West Coast who lost their jobs.

“I accept there are decisions we would have made differently.

“I am very sorry for things people at Solid Energy are going through.

“Every single one of them [miners and workers] has been passionate about our business.”

Dr Elder defended his tenure with Solid Energy, saying the company had been brought back from the brink of closure in 1999.

He said the company had withstood a 60 per cent crash in coal prices and had generated $1 billion direct revenue.

Dr Elder stepped down in early February, days before Finance Minister Bill English revealed the company was tottering under $389m in debt and was in talks with bankers.

Mr Palmer stepped down as chairman last June, 18 months before his term was scheduled to end.

The Opposition has blamed the Government for failing to monitor the company adequately, while the Government says the problems are down to the previous Labour Government urging the company to adopt a high-risk diversification strategy.

On Wednesday Labour leader David Shearer produced a 2009 letter sent by then State Owned Enterprises Simon Power to Mr Palmer, telling him the Government wanted the company to increase its gearing or debt levels.

Responding to questions from Mr Shearer in Parliament on

Former Solid Energy boss Don Elder and chairman John Palmer during yesterday’s appearance before the commerce select committee at Parliament.

Wednesday, Mr English confirmed his Government “did make the decision to allow Solid Energy to take on more debt” during its first term, but “decisions about how much debt to incur were made by the board”.

Dr Elder confirmed on Tuesday he would front to the committee if Solid Energy permitted it.

However, he also fuelled criticism that the company had been trying to gag him, by saying he had always been willing to appear, and the fact he wasn’t present during Solid Energy’s financial review before the committee last week was the company’s decision.

“I was advised that I was not required to be present,” said Dr Elder.

The committee had previously asked that Dr Elder attend if the company thought it “appropriate”.

However, acting chief executive Garry Diack told MPs that he was

“not aware” that Dr Elder had approached the company about making himself available.

Former Solid Energy chairman John Palmer said he could not recall asking the Government for a $1 billion investment in the company.

“Our view was that almost certainly could not, and should not be funded by the Crown as the sole shareholder, and we needed to find mechanisms to fund that.”

He said the company’s diversification projects required large amounts of capital.

“I think we were talking reasonably regularly about our plans and about the capital requirement for those and those numbers are certainly in the billion dollar numbers; they’re not in the tens of million dollar numbers - so I think it’s quite understandable when the Prime Minister says that we were talking to them about the require-

ments for those sorts of sums that that was accurate.”

Labour’s state owned enterprises spokesman Clayton Cosgrove said Government ministers in charge had been asleep at the wheel and were ultimately responsible.

“John Key cited the increase in gearing as one of their downfalls while at the same time his own Government was requiring an increase in gearing across the board and a greater dividend.

“Mr Palmer has confirmed that the Government was well informed since taking office about what was happening and that they took no practical or any actions to ask the company to change its strategy,” said Mr Cosgrove.

Mr Palmer told the committee he had opposed the Government’s request to ramp up gearing - to increase the company’s debt levels.

“When you’ve had as much experience as members of our board

have, you’re able to make a judgement about what is in the best interests of the company.

“During 2012 it became evident the strategy that we had bought into, and particularly as coal prices declined, that the shareholder had a view about the future of the company that was different from both the strategy that we had pursued and certainly what I thought was the best long-term value,” said Mr Palmer.

He said in the committee that a blanket 40 per cent gearing is not appropriate across all state-owned enterprises.

“I just don’t think it’s sensible that you should take a strong cashflow company and have the same balance sheet structure for those as you would for a commodity company subject to both the international commodity cycle and exchange rate fluctuations.”

Disgust over denture swap

By Amy McGillivray An 88-year-old rest home patient suffering dementia was made to wear someone else’s dirty false teeth after her own were lost, her family says.

Elleanor Tipler’s daughter, Rosey Ross, was horrified after making the discovery at Tauranga’s Melrose Lifestyle Care and Village - and says her mother has been shown a lack of respect and dignity.

She has told her story after feeling she was getting nowhere with her complaints to the rest home and politicians.

Lawyers for former Pike River Mine boss Peter Whittall claimed in the Greymouth District Court yesterday that it would not be possible for him to get a a fair trial on the West Coast.

Whittall has pleaded not guilty to 12 charges relating to the deaths of the 29 men whose bodies are entombed in the ill-fated coal pit, 46km north-east of Greymouth.

He was manager for most of the life of the mine, and was chief executive of the Pike River Coal Company at the time of the first explosion on November 19, 2010.

On Wednesday, 20 family members of the Pike River victims heard Whittall’s lawyer, Stuart Grieve QC, argue before Judge Jane Farish that his trial - expected to last close to three months - should be transferred to Whittall’s current home town of Wellington.

One plank of Mr Grieve’s submission was that Whittall, on recent

trips to Greymouth, had been exposed to “hostile and inappropriate behaviour” from members of the public.

Should this continue over a long trial it would be “physically and emotionally debilitating” and would prejudice his rights to a fair trial, the submission stated.

“Emotions are running high in Greymouth, and rightly or wrongly they are focused on Mr Whittall. He should be able to give his evidence free of stress.”

After hearing submissions for and against the move, Judge Farish reserved her decision until May 22.

Later yesterday, the judge dealt with the 10 charges that Pike River Coal Company (in receivership) faces.

As the company is not defending the charges of failing to ensure the safety of employees and contractors and failing to ensure that no action or inaction of its employees harmed another person, the matter is to be the subject of a formal proof hearing.

hip. She removed her mother’s bottom denture when the pensioner complained of gum ulcers during a visit in early February. Mrs Ross told the nurses and put the teeth in a drawer in her mother’s room in the rest home’s hospital wing.

Her mother was left with her top dentures only.

On February 17, Mrs Ross noticed her mother sucking on her bottom lip and struggling to eat so went to retrieve her bottom dentures, only to find they were missing.

The nursing staff were told but “no one knew anything or seemed to care”, she said. On her next visit, five days later, Mrs Ross noticed her mother’s bottom lip protruding and on closer inspection found she was wearing someone else’s bottom dentures.

“These teeth were disgusting, with horrible black bits between the

teeth, and what looked like chewing gum at the back to hold them in place,” she said.

“I was disgusted that they were someone else’s teeth.”

Mrs Ross said the staff should have simply conceded they had lost them.

When she complained, she said a staff member admitted the dentures were someone else’s but thought they were a good fit.

“Melrose have lost my mother’s teeth, then totally disregarded her respect and dignity by placing someone else’s teeth in her mouth. This is disgusting and totally against the rights of a person with a disability.”

A meeting between Mrs Ross and rest home management was arranged for last week but she said the rest home cancelled it on short notice and it has not yet

been rescheduled. Oceania Group regional manager Mark Durling said he was aware of the complaint but did not know the details of how the teeth were lost or where the other set came from.

An investigation had started: “I can assure you that it should not happen and if it did happen I’m not sure how it happened.”

Tauranga Age Concern chief executive Mike Tyrer said such treatment was unacceptable.

“It is a problem that we hear of from time to time when these people are not respected and they are treated like second-class citizens, which is something we are trying to rectify,” Mr Tyrer said.

He could recall two complaints over three years regarding the treatment of elderly in homes which Age Concern had been asked to investigate.

“Both juries were satisfied that A report on TV3’s current affairs the evidence established, beyond show 3rd Degree on Wednesday reasonable doubt, that Mr Pora was

Mr Burgess said police would continue to cooperate fully with any lawful requests made for information in relation to the case.

He said a large amount of information had been provided to Pora and his advisers since 2010, in addition to the original disclosure of Crown evidence at the trials.

Pora’s lawyer Jonathan Krebs disputed that yesterday morning, saying he had spent many months requesting information but was met with refusals.

“Eventually we had to obtain an injunction from the High Court directing that certain material and certain ongoing materials [be] provided to us,” he told Radio New Zealand.

Mr Krebs had received information on Wednesday night suggesting police had not been complying with the injunction.

“That causes me real concern and I’m going to have to look at what steps I can take to force the hand, because at the end of the day there’s a man who’s been in custody for 20 years.

“He’s still only in his mid to late 30s, and it’s simply a gross miscarriage of justice.”

The information Mr Krebs is seeking includes fresh DNA evidence.

Police were continuing to analyse scene exhibits as they looked for DNA traces.

“We want to see those because we want to exonerate our client, and we can do so via the DNA samples.”

Mr Krebs said Pora was convicted by two juries who did not see all the information.

Hard and fast evidence would exonerate his client, he said.

The application for a Royal Prerogative of Mercy was filed 18 months ago.

New Pope known for humility In unadorned white robes, the first pope from the Americas sets a tone of simplicity and pastoral humility in a church desperate to move past the tarnished era of abuse scandals and internal Vatican upheavals.

The choice of Argentine Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio – who took the name Francis – reflected a series of history-making decisions by fellow cardinals who seemed determined to offer a message of renewal to a church under pressures on many fronts.

The 76-year-old archbishop of Buenos Aries – the first from Latin America and the first from the Jesuit order – bowed to the crowds in St Peter’s Square and asked for their blessing in a hint of the austere style he cultivated while modernising the Argentina’s conservative Catholic church.

In taking the name Francis, he drew connections to the 13th century St Francis of Assisi, who saw his calling as trying to rebuild the church in a time of turmoil. It also evokes images of Francis Xavier, one of the 16th century founders of the Jesuit order that is known for its scholarship and outreach.

Francis, the son of middle-class Italian immigrants, is known as a humble man who denied himself the luxuries that previous Buenos Aires cardinals enjoyed. He came close to becoming pope last time, reportedly gaining the secondhighest vote total in several rounds of voting before he bowed out of the running in the conclave that elected Pope Benedict XVI. Groups of supporters waved Argentine flags in St Peter’s Square as Francis, wearing simple white robes, made his first public appearance as Pope.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, good evening,” he said before making

ABOVE/RIGHT: People react after hearing that Buenos Aires’ Archbishop Jorge Bergoglio was chosen as Pope.

LEFT: Pope Francis waves to the crowd from the central balcony of St Peter’s Basilica at the Vatican, yesterday. a reference to his roots in Latin America, which accounts for about 40 per cent of the world’s Roman Catholics.

Bergoglio often rode the bus to work, cooked his own meals and regularly visited the slums that ring Argentina’s capital. He considers social outreach, rather than doctrinal battles, to be the essential business of the church.

He accused fellow church leaders of hypocrisy and forgetting that Jesus Christ bathed lepers and ate with prostitutes.

“Jesus teaches us another way:

Go out. Go out and share your testimony. Go out and interact with your brothers. Go out and share.

Go out and ask. Become the Word in body as well as spirit,” Bergoglio told Argentina’s priests last year.

Bergoglio’s legacy as cardinal includes his efforts to repair the reputation of a church that lost many followers by failing to openly challenge Argentina’s murderous 1976-83 dictatorship. He also worked to recover the church’s traditional political influence in society, but his outspoken criticism of President Cristina Kirchner

couldn’t stop her from imposing socially liberal measures that are anathema to the church, from gay marriage and adoption to free contraceptives for all.

“In our ecclesiastical region there are priests who don’t baptise the children of single mothers because they weren’t conceived in the sanctity of marriage,” Bergoglio told his priests.

“These are today’s hypocrites.

Those who clericalise the Church.

Those who separate the people of God from salvation. And this poor girl who, rather than returning the

Arid conditions across the country that have led to a drought being declared in several North Island regions and kicked off early livestock slaughter threatens to derail agricultural production down the line, according to the Reserve Bank.

The dry conditions are weighing on the primary sector, and are expected to lead to weaker milk production in the latter half of the dairy season, the central bank said in its March monetary policy statement. Because of that, animal slaughter is expected to increase in the first half of 2013, which will have “negative implications for production further out”, it said.

“If dry conditions persist or intensify they could substantially reduce economic output more generally,” the bank said.

An official drought was declared across much of the North Island last

By Paul McBeth Reserve Bank governor Graeme Wheeler held the official cash rate at 2.5 per cent, as expected, saying the benchmark rate is expected to move this year amid an uneven economic recovery. The kiwi dollar dropped on the news “The overvalued New Zealand dollar is undermining profitability in export and import competing industries, and worsening drought conditions are creating difficulty in much of the country,” Wheeler said. “At this point we expect to keep the OCR unchanged through the end of the year.

The central bank expects the 90-day bank bill, often seen as a proxy for the OCR, to start increasing in June next year, before accelerating in 2015 and rising to 4 per cent the following year.

It had previously projected the rate staying on hold until December this year, rising to 3.3 per cent in March

week, and low hydro lake levels have prompted the Bluff aluminium smelter to pare back production.

In his statement, RBNZ governor Graeme Wheeler said the “worsening drought conditions are creating difficulty in much of the country”, though the full MPS report held little detail about the potential impact of the drought.

The central bank said the fourth quarter of 2012 showed stronger growth than expected, and it doubled its forecast for gross domestic product to 0.8 per cent in that period, while trimming 0.1 of a percentage point from the March and June quarters of 2013 to 0.6 per cent and 0.7 per cent respectively.

Deutsche Bank chief economist Darren Gibbs expected the Reserve Bank’s forecasts to “make some allowance for lost production to date and note the possibility of further downward revisions if satisfactory rain does not arrive soon,” he said in – APNZ a note before the release.

pared his tone to “medieval times and the Inquisition”.

This kind of demonisation is unfair, says Rubin, who obtained an extremely rare interview of Bergoglio for his biography, the The Jesuit.

“Is Bergoglio a progressive – a liberation theologist even? No. He’s no third-world priest. Does he criticise the International Monetary Fund, and neoliberalism? Yes. Does he spend a great deal of time in the slums? Yes,” Rubin said.

Bergoglio has stood out for his austerity.

sit in the back rows. This sense of humility is very well seen in Rome,” Rubin said before the 2013 conclave to choose Benedict’s successor.

Bergoglio’s influence seemed to stop at the presidential palace door after Nestor Kirchner and then his wife, Cristina Fernandez, took over the Argentina’s government.

This sort of pastoral work, aimed at capturing more souls and building the flock, is an essential skill for any religious leader in the modern era, said Bergoglio’s authorised biographer, Sergio Rubin.

Bergoglio himself felt most comfortable taking a very low profile, and his personal style has been the antithesis of Vatican splendor.

The New Zealand dollar fell to 82.13 US cents after the statement from 82.60 cents immediately before. It fell to 79.66 Australian cents from 80.13 cents.

The economy grew faster than expected through the tail-end of last year, underpinned by the Canterbury rebuild, and that stronger domestic demand is seen as creating mediumterm inflationary pressures, even as consumer prices remain subdued in the foreseeable future, the bank said in the monetary policy statement.

“Monetary policy settings must balance this low near-term inflation outlook and concerns about the exchange rate and weak labour market, against increasing signs that output will accelerate and inflationary pressures will pick up,” the report said.

New Zealand food prices fell 0.3 per cent last month, led by seasonally

cheaper fruit and vegetables and discounted meat, according to government figures published on Wednesday. Food prices account for about 19 per cent of the consumer price index, which was tracking below the central bank’s target 1 per cent to 3 per cent band in the December quarter at 0.9 per cent.

The bank sees the annual pace of inflation staying at 0.9 per cent until the September quarter this year, rising the mid-point of its band in latter half of 2015. Medium-term pressures are expected to come in the housing and construction sectors, with the risks skewed to the upside, it said.

Local property prices rose 7.6 per cent last month on increasing sales numbers, according to Real Estate Institute figures. New Zealand’s property market gains have been driven by a lack of supply in its biggest city, Auckland, and as the Canterbury rebuild gets under way.

“House price inflation is increasing and the bank does not want to see

financial stability or inflation risks accentuated by housing demand getting too far ahead of supply,” Wheeler said.

The Reserve Bank estimates house prices increased in real terms at an annual pace of 6 per cent last year, and will rise 6.2 per cent and 3.6 per cent this year and the next.

“There is considerable uncertainty around these projections given the nature of supply and demand imbalances in the regional housing markets,” the bank said. “We will closely monitor house prices for any signs of feedthrough into consumer price inflation.”

The bank expects New Zealand’s economy to grow at an annual pace of between 2 per cent and 3 per cent in the coming years on the $30 billion Canterbury rebuild and lift in residential investment. In the December forecast it projected annual growth of between 2.5 per cent and 3 per cent over the next two years, largely on the back of the Canterbury rebuild. – APNZ

Suicide bombers strike again, 6 killed A suicide bomb has exploded in crowds at a traditional horseback game of buzkashi in northern Afghanistan, killing at least six people, police say.

“The suicide attacker detonated himself at the end of the match

in Imam Sahib district. Six people have died,” Abdul Khalil Andarabi, police chief of Kunduz province, told AFP. Andarabi said that among the dead were the district police chief and the father of the speaker in the

national parliament. At least seven other people were wounded in the attack. Buzkashi is Afghanistan’s national sport in which riders use a headless goat in place of a ball in a ferocious version of polo.

Kunduz, which borders

Tajikistan, has been beset by insurgent violence in recent years.

In 2010, the provincial governor was killed by a bomb blast that tore through prayer services at a mosque. Afghan soldiers and police are taking over responsibil-

ity for security across much of the country as international coalition forces, which have been deployed since 2001, pull out by the end of next year.

The attack yesterday came after twin suicide explosions on Sunday,

when 19 people were killed in blasts in the capital Kabul and in the eastern province of Khost.

The bomb in Kabul struck as US Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel visited a US military base nearby.

Europe slippery as Four killed by lone gunman in New York snow turns to ice Icy roads are disrupting transport as north-western Europe remains in the grip of unseasonable weather.

The snowstorm early this week, a few days before the official start of spring on March 20, caused widespread travel chaos with the cancellation of hundreds of flights and the suspension of train services including cross-Channel Eurostar trains.

The Eurostar link between London and Paris, the Thalys line between Paris and Brussels and other high-speed connections in northern France resumed running late Wednesday, though there were delays.

After being forced to close briefly, Frankfurt Airport, Europe’s

third-busiest, said it expected services to progressively return to normal after 812 flights were cancelled on Wednesday.

France was the worst affected by the snowstorm but Belgium, Britain, Germany and the Netherlands also reported major disruptions.

Services were returning to normal in France, with the Paris Metro and suburban train services running, though buses were cancelled because of icy road conditions.

The sun was shining in Paris, where buildings were covered in a picturesque blanket of snow and a lone cross-country skier was seen on the Champ de Mars – AFP near the Eiffel Tower.

Ground crew members de-ice a plane at Orly Airport in south Paris yesterday.

A man suspected of shooting to death four people and wounding two others was believed to be in an abandoned building surrounded by police later yesterday, police said.

Police officers were fired on from the building while looking for 64-year-old Kurt Myers, state police Superintendent Joseph D’Amico said. D’Amico said at least one officer returned fire, but Myers’ status was uncertain.

“We’re in no rush to bring this to a conclusion,” D’Amico said, adding that the main objective was to make sure no-one else was hurt.

Police said the rampage started with a fire in Myers’ apartment in the village of Mohawk yesterday. D’Amico said the gunman drove to a barber shop around the corner and used a shotgun shot to kill two customers, whom he identified as Harry Montgomery, 68, and Michael Rancier, 57. The shop’s owner, John Seymour, and another customer, Dan Haslauer, were listed in critical condition at a regional hospital.

D’Amico said the gunman then drove to a mechanic’s shop in nearby Herkimer and used the shotgun to kill Thomas Stefka, an employee, and Michael Renshaw, a customer.

“Everybody’s on lockdown, all the schools, the college, the village,” said Amanda Viscomi, Herkimer’s acting clerk-treasurer. “It’s very, very scary.”

Myers’ only known police record was a 1973 drunken driving arrest.

D’Amico said police had had no communication with Myers.

A “shagging diploma” given to youths at a Swedish Lutheran Church confirmation camp has proved too much for parents who have complained that their 14-year-olds are too young for sex. After attending a course entitled Love and Sexuality, the teenagers in the south-eastern town of Ronneby were given a certificate stating they were “qualified for sex”.

Vicar Mats-Ola Nylen said the course had been organised by a man purporting to come from the Swedish Association for Sexuality Education (RFSU), but the church later found out he hadn’t worked for the organisation in years. Suspicions were raised after parents complained to Nylen about the certificates, saying their teenage children weren’t ready for sex.

They were also upset over the use of colloquial phrases like “giving someone a blow job”.

CMA TO SEE WHAT YOUR PROPERTY WORTH

GEMINI (May 22nd Jun 21st) You might not have been feeling totally invulnerable of late but the Sun’s close alliance to Venus has given you added pizzazz, which may have engendered good things from life’s movers and shakers.

However, you now become less bedazzled by recent praise and want to see things shaping up. Try not to become too concerned about any delay.

CANCER (Jun 22nd - Jul 23rd) It may be best not to take anyone for granted today.

Perhaps you never do but even so, a person who is usually good-spirited may not be in the best of form, or perhaps you will feel less sociable.

What you can do is think carefully about your next moves. The coming week is going to be very important for some major hopes of yours.

LEO (Jul 24th - Aug 23rd) Just when you might be in the mood for some TLC, someone you might ordinarily count upon can seem more preoccupied with their own needs. This doesn’t mean to say that they won’t be available at some point today, but by then you may have decided to use the go-getting vibes of Mars to go off and do something completely random.

VIRGO (Aug 24th Sep 23rd) It may not be how you see yourself, but some have the perception that Virgos can be cutting and rather insensitive at times. To avoid creating this impression today, just stop yourself before you speak on a key matter. Whilst your take on a situation may be factually correct, this could be a case of not what you say but how you say it.

LIBRA (Sep 24th Oct 23rd) Even if briefly, you might find that something which ordinarily provides some kind of comfort or pleasure in your life loses its sparkle today. This is probably not going to be lasting, more that you have been finding life rather testing or exacting and the usual treats may not work as usual. If so, be assured that you’re on the cusp of a time when you will regain your oomph.

“It’s why more people are choosing McGregors”

Phone Enquiries: 308 6173 Online Enquiries: mcgregorrealestate.co.nz/appraisals.htm

SCORPIO (Oct 24th - Nov 22nd) Do you see yourself as being blunt at times?

Perhaps you don’t.

However, it’s possible that someone may perceive you in this way today. This may surprise you somewhat because with the Sun and Venus’s help, at times this week you have felt at your charming best. Yet with Saturn in reverse in your sign, all sorts of lessons can be meted out.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23rd - Dec 21st) Someone may not tell you straight out what their issue is but you can sense them ever so slightly holding back from you today. You would probably prefer that they just told you but then you yourself may have found it harder of late to express yourself and it may even be you who is tongue-tied.

Or might you mask how you really feel?

CAPRICORN (Dec 22nd - Jan 20th) Your ruler Saturn is not to be underestimated and today it is going to go face to face with the sensitive energies of the Moon.

If you have plans to socialise, they could lose their appeal and you may decide not to go out after all.

Then again, this influence may just concentrate your mind on the quality rather than the quantity of your friendships.

AQUARIUS (Jan 21st - Feb 19th) A generational gap could be more obvious today. Although Aquarius people often co-exist with a more traditional or modern approach to life, today you can feel out of kilter. Perhaps on this one issue you will realise that you do in fact take a more conservative line. This doesn’t mean that you’re wrong, although someone can accuse you of this.

SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD

PISCES (Feb 20th Mar 20th) You might find yourself being disapproving to someone close over a financial matter or it could be that they are showing their ire. Then again you may just encounter someone with very different values to your own. Some elements of our lives are universal but on this occasion perhaps you or they are more unusual and for once this could jar.

ASHBURTON GUARDIAN, Friday, March 15, 2013

SPORT

By Jonathan Leask The only thing standing in the way of the Tech Sharks’ clean sweep of the Mid Canterbury Cricket trophies is a fired up Lauriston senior side.

The two sides square off in the Muirhead Rosebowl final tomorrow at the Ashburton Domain Oval.

The Sharks have been in ominous form all season winning the Pritchard Shield, Twenty20 Trophy, Studholme Shield, only dropping one twenty20 match along the way, and also hold the Bevan Stroud Challenge Trophy for good measure.

For the second season in a row the Sharks are in the last game of the season looking to lock up the clean sweep.

The Sharks, playing in their fourth straight final, have finished with three of the four major trophies for the past two seasons, with Allenton playing the spoiler in both seasons.

Last year the Sharks restricted Allenton to 141, but were then scuttled for 86.

But Lauriston took Allenton out of the equation last week to line up the silverware, and another shot at the Sharks.

Reaching a final was the furthest thing from their mind the first time the met the Sharks, a week after

By Michael Brown It’s often said sport is 10 per cent physical and 90 per cent psychological and, no matter what the split, the Warriors realise they have to make considerable progress in their mental application if they are to figure this season.

It was a focus of their pre-season under new coach Matt Elliott but an aspect of the game clearly lacking in their season opener last weekend.

They were embarrassed 40-10 by Parramatta and, while it is only one game, it’s hard to escape the fact it comes on the back of a club-record eight-game losing streak at the end of their 2012 campaign.

The players were put through a video session on Monday in their War Room, as they have called it, that should have come with a parental warning.

It was uncomfortable for them, and Elijah Taylor said it was “very, very honest”.

They might have got a sense of how unpleasant it was for fans last weekend who witnessed 31 missed

tackles, 10 errors, nine penalties and seven tries conceded.

Elliott almost welcomed the fact they were embarrassed against the Eels rather than keeping collateral damage to a minimum because, to him, the learnings are greater in a heavy defeat.

“Last week was a fantastic lesson for us, a lesson if you miss you’re going to have to learn twice,” he said.

“I prefer just to learn it once. I think there were some pretty crucial things unearthed. Sometimes getting your pants pulled down like we did ... we could have fumbled our way through the game and lost 28-12, but we would have missed the point. The main thing is you can only expect and accept the very, very best effort from yourself and then you need to expect that from your teammates.”

The Warriors host Sonny Bill Williams ... and 16 of his Roosters team-mates at Eden Park on Saturday night. Williams is still feeling his way back into rugby league after a fiveyear absence but has the chance to very quickly find form if the Warriors play as poorly as they did against - APNZ Parramatta.

• Ashburton’s ultra trio A trio of Ashburton runners will tackle the Tawarewa Ultra Marathon this weekend. Mick Tarry and Alison Fleming will tackle the 100km distance and Mark Fletcher will cover 60km tomorrow. The Tarawera Ultra Marathon runs from Rotorua through to Kawerau and is a trail run, not a road race. The majority of the run is on single track trails through native bush or forestry roads with a small portion on a sealed road. Tarry is an experienced long distance runner completing the 100km race in past three years, with a best time of 14 hours 41.16 in 2011.

• Basketball reps Emily Hickman and Tessa Morrison are in line for national honours on the basketball court.

Hickman has been named in the final squad of 15 for the New Zealand under 16 girls’ team that will contest the Australian under 16 State Championships in Adelaide in July. Hickman is the only South Island player in the final squad of 15, with the selectors still to finalise the 10 team members and five nontravelling reserves. Morrison travels to Auckland this weekend for another under17 selection camp, which is down to the last 24. From this weekend’s camp, the coaches select a squad of 12 players, and five non-travelling reserves, that will go on to represent New Zealand at the FIBA Oceania under 17 qualifiers in Melbourne in September.

being embarrassed in a 180 run hiding at the hands of Coldstream when they were rolled for 18.

They bounced back with an improved effort but suffered a five wicket loss to the Sharks and more recently suffered a seven wicket loss, which ended their six game winning streak in between.

However, as Lauriston captain Nick Gilbert pointed out after their second defeat, “We only have to beat them once”.

Tomorrow they get that chance.

Lauriston has never featured in the final since the competition reshuffle in 2006 that saw second grade and first grade combined under a new format.

The Sharks have had a mixed history in the Muirhead Rosebowl final, making it to the final hurdle for the last three seasons, stumbling twice but with a win over Collegiate in 2010-11.

Several members of that Collegiate team, a club that featured in four finals and winning once but is currently in recession, now line up for Lauriston and have been key contributors to the side’s revival after being the whipping boys in recent years.

They now have their chance to play the spoiler as the Sharks circle the clean sweep.

Methven takes out nail-biting final

Methven’s Liam Sheppard hoists Thaleb Khabu in the air after winning their summer league football final in extra time against International at Argyle Park on Wednesday night. Methven took out the thrilling and at times fiery encounter division three final scoring a 2-1 win in overtime. The overall winners of the summer league were the Rangers, taking out the division one title with a 2-1 win of their own over McMasters. Division two was taken out by the Bandits 4-2 over Team Alpha Patrick. There is little time for a turnaround between the end of the summer league and the start of winter football, with Mid Canterbury hosting a pre-season tournament at Argyle Park tomorrow.

The interclub season wound down last weekend but the 88 juniors have signed up for a final shot at personal glory in the Mid Canterbury Junior Graded tournament this weekend. The individuals play in the same grade they would normally, from junior C grade up to B grade but there are no club ties this time around. Junior C boys’ have the biggest field of 22 players for the two day tournament at the Ashburton Trust Tennis Centre, with play under way at 8.30am both days.

• Football Ferns third The New Zealand women’s football side grabbed third place at the Cyprus Cup yesterday after scoring two goals in a dramatic last two minutes of their 2-1 playoff win over Switzerland. Betsy Hassett equalised in the 88th minute and Hannah Wilkinson scored the winner a minute later to round out a successful campaign for Tony Readings’ side, who won three and lost one, although the Football Ferns coach was disappointed with the way his side started. “It was a below-par performance without the intensity we had in our first three matches and we deserved to be behind at halftime.” - APNZ

Western Bartlett won the under 14 boys’ triple jump and was second in the high jump.

In the under 14 boys’ Alin Onicas was second in the 100m, 200m and discus while Naomi Cone came second in the under 16 girls’ 100m and 800m, and Gareth Hunt was also second in the 400m and 800m.

From the results a team will be selected to attend the South Island Secondary Schools Championships in Invercargill April 6 and 7 where the athletes will hope to gain selection to the National Secondary Schools Championships in Hamilton in December.

• Calves’ blood used?

Manly coach Geoff Toovey has played down the significance of reports players from the NRL club were injected with calves blood off site at the home of a former teammate. Calves’ blood, which is officially known as Actovegin, is not a banned substance and has been cleared for use by the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority. It was reportedly used on players at the home of Josh Perry, who now plays for Super League side St Helens. - AAP

Greg Jones runs the rule over today’s Ashburton fields Race 1: Messines – unlucky at Riccarton and should be in the quinella here.

D’Ellis – local with a strong chance. Tried in front last time and with cover should be right in the finish.

Seraphim Falls – stormed home last time and ready to strike breakthrough win anytime.

Halo May – should get a cosy run and has been close up recently. In-form jockey will aid chances.

Sabhraj – improved showing when third last start and still learning the game. Could deliver at good odds.

Race 2: Ya Dreamin Jonesey - game performance last time fighting back to win. When in form he seems to run consistently so chances are good again.

Monachee – bolted home in Dunedin Cup after strong Trentham showings. All those would win this.

Needastar – course winner who could run a bold race.

Lisa Love – should get a good run just in behind the speed and has shown too much home straight gas for these before. Leading photo tetsuro mitomo 160312-tm-155 chance.

Heaven Sent – course and distance record

The Jan Hay-trained Dr Dee Bee is familiar with the winning post at Ashburton.

point to an improved showing at possibly false odds.

Race 3: Sir Daniel – local with enviable distance and course stats. A repeat of his last two efforts would make him hardest to beat despite what the formline says.

Kimberley Courtney – consistent mare, in-form and likely to be one of the favourites. Distance record would indicate she is vulnerable though.

Livana – drops a rating band which is a big assist. Expect a much improved showing.

Hamilton Coup – looked a quality mare in the making before injury. Tough ask fresh but ability not in question.

Ms Courtney Place – first hint of form in third run back and likely to run home strongly. Place is best though.

Race 4: Why Wait – has always raced on the pace and after a six month spell should have strengthened sufficiently to be hard to beat here.

Paradise City – has generally been close up without really threatening. Home track should help and expect a solid effort.

Chapelle D’Or – good debut and then solid in a strong field before a break. Could be good enough to take this out.

Perfection – unplaced to date but runs have been encouraging. Likely to be close up from the ace draw.

Puzzled – well bred and had strong support on debut. May have had an excuse and worth another look.

Race 5: Treviso – had a tough run last time but still fought on reasonably. 2kg claim adds to the plus side.

Mary Burke – local that is expected to be close up here after some average luck.

Track should be ideal.

Wedgie – lightly tried and has good record.

May be good enough to come with the winning run.

Refreshingly Vibrant – swamped near the finish at Riccarton recently and likely to hang on for victory here.

Fine Line – tried in good company up north and won on debut. Could be the boilover in this line up.

Race 6: Captain Todd – won the Timaru Cup and then average ride at Trentham. Didn’t fire last time but certainly capable of being in the finish.

Dozintmatteranyway – brilliant three back and then asked to do too much in the next two. Bucked last time and sent back to the

trials. Major thread if started.

Dr Dee Bee – in great form for the Red Syndicate and has super record here.

Expect another top performance.

Keep The Conflict – talented gelding but disappointing in last two starts. Can bounce back and take this on his favourite track.

Court Dancer – left alone in front at Riccarton and kicked away. Unlikely to get those favours here but a chance all the same.

Race 7: Viana – freshened up since failure over 2400 at Otago. Has won at this distance and could take this out, especially if the pace is torrid.

Crawford – likely pacemaker with useful form. If lead is uncontested expect to see him in the finish.

Cybele – fine run in a stronger field last time points to a home track win in this.

Sir Singo – has been running in the Guineas events and will appreciate this better. Showed more zip last time and may be ready to fire.

Miss El Bee Dee – tough run on a very hard surface at Cromwell. Better suited here and could easily upset.

Race 8: Gossip Girl – has the ability to run well

fresh although form has been over longer distances.

Asaint Sheaint – solid enough in Central Otago starts and still at the improving stage.

Place is best.

Keynote – promising filly with the best form. Similar run to last time would take this out easily.

Waitin Awhile – creditable efforts recently and Lisa Allpress will assist. Include in all multis.

Happy Days – showed speed last campaign and from draw with the allowance appeals as an outside chance.

to take another step in the right direction against a team in good form who would bring a lot of physicality and intensity.

“They are a team that really back what they do,” he said.

“They are a really physically dominant forward pack and like to get on top of teams, and have Morne Steyn controlling the game well.

“He kicks very well, he kicks his goals, and puts the team in the right part of the field, and when they get down there they look pretty dynamic in attack.

“They’ve got a pretty good balance and they know who they are as a side, so we know what’s coming.”

The losses have not changed Mauger’s view on how the Crusaders should be playing - to take the current cricket cliche, it’s a case of staying calm and batting on.

“We’ve obviously got a plan of how we want to play and it’s obviously not come to fruition in

the last couple of weeks.

“I think we were probably good enough last week to win the game, we scored four tries and let in a couple of soft ones. Other than that I thought we were in control of the game.”

The coaches have shown their confidence by naming the same 15 that lost by one point to the Hurricanes, and continuity especially under pressure was really important, he said.

They would be put under pressure tomorrow, but the fact they had some combinations going would help them deal with it - “the guys are connected, and the little minirelationships are working well.”

After 14 knock-ons in Wellington they had talked about execution.

“That’s one thing that let us down.

“We had a try disallowed with just the little fingertip, and a couple of little knock-ons when we were in the scoring zone.

“We’ve just got to be a bit more ruthless when we have those opportunities to make sure we come away with points.”

Fronting up

By Jonathan Leask

Mid Canterbury product Chris King returns to the Highlanders starting lineup to play his 99th Super Rugby match against the Hurricanes at Forsyth Barr Stadium in Dunedin tomorrow night.

Highlanders’ coach Jamie Joseph made five changes to the run-on XV that played the Cheetahs last Saturday when he named his team to face the Hurricanes.

The experienced King is in the starting line-up for the first time this season replacing Ma’afu Fia to form an all-star front row with All Blacks Tony Woodcook and Andrew Hore.

Jarrad Hoeata comes back into the starting pack at lock, in place of Josh Bekhuis who drops out of the 22, and he is joined

by Elliot Dixon at number eight moving Jake Paringatai to the bench joining fellow loose forward TJ Ioane, who comes into the Highlanders’ 22 for the first time.

Colin Slade makes his long awaited return to the starting XV in the backs with Lima Sopoaga moving to the bench after a forgettable game against the Cheetahs that saw him subbed off with three minutes to play in the first half.

But it is the midfield that is giving Joseph headaches. Debutant Jason Emery starts at centre with Phil Burleigh moving in one as the Highlanders’ only two midfield backs still standing. Ma’a Nonu was sidelined with a knee injury prior to last

Anscombe again on the kicking duties

week’s loss to the Cheetahs and his late replacement, Shaun Treeby has a longer stint in the stands after tearing his hamstring.

The good news for the Highlanders is that Nonu is expected back next week but Treeby’s torn hamstring has him pencilled in for at least a four week break and Tamati Ellison is expected to be out for up to three months with a shoulder injury, leaving the midfield stocks bare.

All Black Ben Smith may be called on to move in from fullback with halfback Fumiaki Tanaka, Sopoaga and Buxton Popoalii the only back cover this weekend.

It’s a move Highlanders assistant coach Scott McLeod would like to avoid but the winless southerners will be more intent on avoiding a third straight loss to start the season.

All going to plan King will become a super rugby centurion against the defending champion Chiefs next week in Hamilton.

Lima Sopoaga 22. Buxton Popoalii

For a player who didn’t practise his goalkicking much in pre-season, Chiefs fullback Gareth Anscombe is doing an excellent job of bluffing his way through.

Anscombe has taken the goalkicking duties in all three of the Chiefs matches this season - at short notice in the case of the first game against the Highlanders due to Aaron Cruden’s groin niggle - and has kicked 20 out of 22 for a 90.9 per cent strike rate.

However, while he will be given the kicking tee in Saturday morning’s match against the Southern Kings in Port Elizabeth, Cruden is likely to grab it back for the following game against the Highlanders in Hamilton.

Coach Dave Rennie said of All Black firstfive Cruden: “He’s close, he’s probably at a stage where he could kick this weekend but we’ll probably give it to Gareth again and make sure Aaron’s 100 per cent.

“Aaron has been doing a little bit of kicking in practice but not a huge amount. He’s striking the ball well but we want to make sure that he gives it enough time to make sure he’s injury free and the goalkicking tends to put a little more acid on him.

“It’s not major, it’s more overload.”

Of 21-year-old Anscombe, more known as a first-five, Rennie said: “He’s going bloody

‘

well isn’t he? For a kid who hasn’t got much of a history in the No15 jersey he’s doing a great job.

Goalkicking could be important against the Kings at Nelson Mandela. They defended well against the Sharks there last weekend in a 21-12 defeat, with all the opposition’s points coming from Pat Lambie’s boot.

The Chiefs will back themselves of being able to breach the defence given their firepower out wide, however. The only change in the backline sees Andrew Horrell come in for Charlie Ngatai, who was unlucky, said Rennie.

The changes in the pack are more marked - Toby Smith in for Pauliasi Manu, Hika Elliot in for the injured Mahonri Schwalger, Michael Fitzgerald replacing Brodie Retallick, and Ross Filipo at No8 - with Liam Messam moving from there to the flank instead of Sam Cane.

In looking at the Kings, Rennie couldn’t help but hark back to the performance against the Stormers, which fell short in the 36-34 defeat, but almost resulted in victory.

“We scored four tries in the weekend. They conceded only 18 in the whole of last season.

“Considering the amount of ball that we had, we put them under a lot of pressure when we had it and the key was attacking the channels we needed to, to find the space.

When we went close [to the breakdown] we got mobbed and the Kings will be pretty similar.”

CHRIS KING JOINS TOP COMPANY IN HIGHLANDERS’ FRONT ROW P24 | GREG JONES SORTS OUT THE WINNERS FOR ASHBURTON TODAY P21

England dominates on day one England picked up where they left off in the second innings of the first test as they wore New Zealand down during a clinical day one performance in the second cricket test at the Basin Reserve yesterday.

After losing the toss and being put in to bat, England took advantage of the dry conditions in Wellington to make their way to 267-2 at the close of play on the back of centuries from Nick Compton (100) and Jonathan Trott (121 not out).

A 210-run stand for the second wicket between the centurions put England in a commanding position.

It wasn’t pretty at times, and while the going was slow it was certainly efficient.

Trott brought up his ninth test hundred with a stylish pull from a short-pitched Neil Wagner delivery in the 70th over of the day, and continued to build his innings as the afternoon wore on.

The 31-year-old Trott gave no chances during his lengthy stay at the crease and looks set to post a massive personal total on day two today.

Compton was more workmanlike in his display as he ground down the Kiwi bowlers and inched his way towards his second hundred in as many matches, after he posted his maiden ton in the drawn first test in Dunedin last week.

The 29-year -old reached his milestone with a beautiful cover drive from the bowl-

By Jonathan Leask Baillie Perriton returns to the race track this weekend intent on making up ground in the New Zealand Superbike 250 production class Championships.

Racing resumes in the national championship series at Hampton Downs after a month’s break following the third round at Invercargill’s Teretonga Park back in January.

final round preventing him from taking a clean sweep.

The only other rider to claim a win is Perriton, who has made up time on Burgess at every turn but has also suffered a few DNFs of his own due to injury and mechanical failure.

Burgess’ almost perfect record has him well in front with the experienced Grant Ramage and Chris Sutcliffe sitting second equal in the championship, 80 points behind the 19 year old Australian.

Perriton is back in fourth on 101 points, 99 behind Burgess but in terms of times is a lot closer.

Perriton has had an up and down series so far in every sense with a lot of learning curves in what was meant as a development season but has the young tyro on track for a top three finish.

A heavy crash knocked him out of round two in Timaru, and he made a wobbly start to the third round in Invercargill, crashing in the practice session and then had gearbox issues in qualifying.

Burgess lost his clutch on the first lap of the first race and Perriton made the most of the opportunity, taking a convincing 14 second win.

In race two Perriton got the jump on Burgess moving into the lead on the second lap only for a crash at the back of the field forcing a red flag race restart, and Perriton’s chain decided to detach itself on the first lap, leaving Burgess to get another win.

After a few crashes the team played it safe in the third and final race picking up some valuable points in tricky conditions.

However, he will come out firing on all cylinders at Hampton Downs, and after being banged up the bike will be too, with a point to prove and points to collect.

Wagner drew the England skipper into a false stroke and he spooned a catch to a grateful Peter Fulton at mid-on.

Cook made 116 in the second innings of the first test and McCullum spoke before this match about the importance of taking the English captain’s wicket early.

That first-session optimism was eventually driven in to the hard Basin Reserve outfield though as England made the most of the batsman-friendly conditions for the rest of the day.

New Zealand will have to take early wickets today as they look to find a way in to the test.
