Fairton unhurt by $28m loss BY LINDA CLARKE
LINDA.C@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ
Silver Fern Farms says it is business as usual at its Fairton plant this season despite posting a $28.6 million loss nationally and possible job losses at other plants. However, New Zealand’s largest meat processor and marketer is keeping a close eye on declining sheep numbers and says farmers must use Fairton or lose it in seasons to come. Around 560 seasonal and sala-
ried staff are employed at the Mid Canterbury plant during the peak of the killing season, which is just getting under way. Chief executive Keith Cooper said Silver Fern Farms had decided on its operating infrastructure for this season and Fairton was unaffected. “We have invested in it over the years. It has a good cutting room and is a selfsufficient plant.” Fairton processes sheep from around Canterbury and Marlborough, but the company has
watched sheep numbers decline over the years as farmers converted to dairying. Mr Cooper said a lack of support from farmer suppliers or changing land use could affect the future of the Fairton plant. “We are a co-operative. If local farmers don’t use it, we have to review it. “We also look at what is happening in the region and we are carefully watching changing land use. If that change means fewer sheep in the area, that is

another consideration.” SFF closed its Canterbury plant three years ago. Mr Cooper and chairman Eion Garden are on the road talking with shareholders, who wanted to know what the industry was doing to keep sheep farming competitive with other land uses. “We don’t disagree with the call for change.” SFF net loss for the 12 months ending September 30 was $28.6m, compared to a loss
of $31.1m the year before. Sales slipped 1.5 per cent to $2 billion. The company blamed last year’s sheep meat market spike and subsequent collapse for two years of losses. “It is clear something needs to change and as a farmer-owned co-operative it was incumbent on us to not only ascertain the appropriate path for our Silver Fern Farms’ shareholders, but also how we can make a difference within the overall industry model,” Mr Garden said.

Outrage at dead lion
An American TV presenter is facing an outraged public backlash after she posted a picture of herself posing next to a dead lion she had apparently shot and killed. Melissa Bachman tweeted the picture of her smiling alongside the animal with the message: “An incredible day hunting in South Africa … what a hunt!” Now South Africans have started a petition to have Ms Bachman banned from the country, which presently has over 12,000 signatures.

Internet to get racier The internet is about to get racier. Two new domain name extensions – .sexy and .tattoo – have been launched as part of sweeping changes to web navigation. They are among the first of an expected 1400 new extensions – called “top-level domains” – that began rolling out in October. The new toplevel domains are set to complement the existing 22, which include familiars such as .com, .net and .org. – AAP
Haka takes Messam by surprise Liam Messam had planned a special haka for Dan Carter but even he was surprised with the result – an emotional tribute to his mate which left him short of breath as he competed against the Twickenham crowd to make himself heard. The crowd started roaring Swing Low as soon as the All Blacks started, with Messam up for the challenge. “What actually happened was I lost my breath and was about to faint because I was trying to drown out the fans and just Liam Messam had to regroup and regather myself before I fell over and embarrassed myself,” he said. – APNZ

Another Gaga shocker Lady Gaga stunned TV viewers on Saturday night by simulating sex with R&B star R Kelly during their performance on Saturday Night Live. The duo sang their duet Do What U Want and during the TV performance Gaga pretended to give Kelly oral sex. Kelly then lay on top of Gaga’s body later in the performance. Gaga, who has just released her new album Artpop, also poked fun at the controversy linked to her alleged song similarities to Madonna by performing Born This Way as the Material Girl’s Express Yourself as part of a skit on the programme. – WENN
Lots of cash for bride A Chinese suitor who gave his future bride an auspicious 8.88 million yuan ($A1.61 million) in cash has drawn public anger for the extravagant display of wealth in the still-developing country. Some 18 porters transported baskets and boxes filled with the money, which together weighed more than 102kg, the Shanghai Daily newspaper reported. Photos showed bamboo baskets stacked with bundles of 100 yuan notes, which are red and depict Mao Zedong, communist China’s founding father. Members of the man’s entourage showed up at the woman’s house in a fleet of luxury vehicles led by a Maserati sports car, reports said. – AFP

■ BIG SHIFT IN ASHBURTON’S POOR
Charities face increasing pressure BY SUE NEWMAN
SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ
A growing number of low income families are becoming Ashburton’s new poor and putting increasing pressure on Ashburton charities. In the lead up to Christmas, Salvation Army food bank manager Judith Lilley is anticipating her busiest ever Christmas in terms of food hampers. She already knows there will
be many new names on her delivery list. “Our clients have been changing this year so it will be interesting when we get our lists. Year by year we get the same names but this year I know we’ll be seeing some new and extra names there too.” Over the past 18 months there had been a marked increase in the number of first-timers coming to the Salvation Army for help, she said, and often these
were working families. “They’re finding things difficult, they’re good hardworking families who’re doing their best but their dollar is not going as far,” Mrs Lilley said. While the number of working families coming to the food bank for help had grown throughout the year and when the hamper list was complied from databases of other agencies, she expects this to increase significantly.
Last year the Salvation Army, in conjunction with St Vincent de Paul, delivered about 260 food hampers. The big food collection for non-perishables for the hampers, Toot for Tucker, was held last night and money raised through the Salvation Army Family Store is used to buy additional items. Presents are no longer given as part of the hampers, but last year books were donated by
Ashburton Altrusa were given out to children under the age of 12. “We’re fortunate with our community that the need might be growing but we’re still able to meet that need,” Mrs Lilley said. Without the community supporting the family store, thousands of dollars would be needed to buy food for the foodbank during the year and for hampers at Christmas, she said.
■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT’S SCHOOLS’ EXHIBITION
Children encouraged to paint on the walls BY GABRIELLE STUART GABRIELLE.S@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ
It’s not often that children are encouraged to paint on walls, but the last Ashburton District Schools’ Exhibition ever to be held at the Baring Street art gallery building promises to be “off the wall” in more ways than one. Rather than painting works in the classroom and bringing them in to hang as in previous years, children from preschools and schools from around the district will spend the next month at the gallery creating a mural across all four walls of the exhibition space. Pupils from Hampstead Primary school pulled out the paints and began work on their part of the project yesterday. Hampstead principal Peter Melrose said the students had spent several months planning their part of the mural, and had designed it to work around the theme of Our Evolving New Zealand Culture. Six-year-old Hampstead pupil Poppie Busch was one of the
11 students chosen to represent their school to contribute to the mural. She had a clear vision for the piece after getting together with fellow pupils for some brainstorming sessions at school, and said a lot of inspiration for the plants and animals she created had come from her own backyard. Children from local preschools and kindergartens will be at the gallery working on their parts of the mural for the rest of the week, before pupils from Allenton and Ashburton Borough take over next week. Visitors are invited to stop by the art gallery throughout the next month to watch the creation and progress of the work, and space is open for children who want to contribute to the project. The grand opening of the schools’ exhibition will be celebrated with a family fun day at 1.30pm on Saturday, December 14, for families and schools who have contributed to the project.

nician Simone Barnsdale said the mural would need to be painted over in late December,
to prepare for the Who Am I? exhibition opening in the space on December 21.
The opening of the new art gallery and museum complex is scheduled for June next year.

■ FFTO COURSES
In brief
Cut-backs begin to hit home By Myles HuMe
Myles.h@theguardian.co.nz
Jobs are on the line and illequipped beneficiaries may be forced to job hunt alone as Ashburton training organisations begin to see the fallout from cuts to a free adult learning course. The Ashburton YMCA and Salvation Employment Plus were told in September funding for the Foundation Focused Training Opportunities (FFTO) programme would stop at the end of the year because not enough beneficiaries were moving into jobs or higher level study. It said the programme – which helps learners with low qualifications at risk of longterm unemployment to engage
Steven Joyce
in education and training towards a job – would be replaced by other courses. The YMCA is looking at options to replace the programme in its campuses across the country and is expected to make an announcement on what courses
it will hold within the next two weeks. However, it is understood there may be a job on the chopping block in Ashburton. Meanwhile, Salvation Army Employment Plus Ashburton principal tutor Heather Daly said it had failed to obtain funding for a FFTO replacement course next year, and may not be able to hold adult education courses. “It’s definitely a shame because we were having really positive outcomes, but for us it’s not huge because we had just two places,” Ms Daly said. “But for some this may have been their only option.” She said some beneficiaries may be forced to pay thousands of dollars in fees at tertiary providers or take on the difficult task of looking for a job
without enough support. She said the age bracket for a youth course had been extended to cater for teens out of the mainstream education system and there may be an opportunity to secure funding for a new adult course from July next year A spokesman for Tertiary Education, Skills and Employment Minister Steven Joyce said in the past year only 28 per cent of FFTO participants went into work – below the 38 per cent target, while 17 per cent went into higher education. He said the funding would be “reprioritised” into other programmes including the Youth Guarantee Scheme, ESOL courses and industry intensive short-term training.

Asset sales referendum voting forms on way People in the Ashburton District will have a chance this week to have their say on the Government’s planned sale of state assets. From Friday more than three million voting papers will arrive in letterboxes around New Zealand as a referendum on asset sales gets underway. The referendum asks one
simple question - “Do you support the Government selling up to 49 per cent of Meridian Energy, Mighty River Power, Genesis Power, Solid Energy and Air New Zealand?” Shares in Mighty River Power were first floated on May 10 and just days out from the start of the referendum, the Government has opted to put a 20
per cent stake in Air New Zealand up for grabs. The referendum was forced after a petition led by Grey Power president Roy Reid under the banner of the Keep Our Assets coalition, gained support from the 10 per cent of eligible voters it needed. After a thorough checking process, it was estimated that
327,224 eligible electors signed the petition, about 18,500 more than required. This is the fifth petition under the Citizens Initiated Referenda Act to proceed to a referendum. The postal ballot opens on Friday and closes on December 13. It is not binding on the Government.
The third anniversary of the Pike River mining tragedy will be marked today with a moment’s silence and the laying of a wreath.

Many will also gather at the Pike River memorial site, where a wreath-laying ceremony will be led by the miners’ union this evening. - APNZ

■ TYPHOON SURVIVOR
‘We’re lucky to be alive’ By myleS Hume
Myles.h@theguardian.co.nz
Former Ashburton man Scotty McOmish has been reunited with his family amid the chaos in the typhoon-hit Philippines and told his parents they were all blessed to be alive. Scotty was away from his family while working in the hard-hit island of Leyte when typhoon Haiyan struck last week, creating concern for his Ashburtonbased parents June and Ben McOmish who spent every waking minute next to their phone. Last Monday, Mr and Mrs McOmish then received the phone call thousands of parents across the world would have wanted last week, with Scotty telling them he and his family were alive. Since then, contact has been scarce but Mrs McOmish told the Guardian yesterday Scotty was back in his newly built home in Negros with his five-year-old daughter, three-year-old son and wife while the country continues to pick up the pieces. “He’s told us his home has suffered minor damage and it will need a bit of
repairing ... he just said how lucky they are to all be alive,” Mrs McOmish said. Her son described the landscape as if a nuclear bomb had hit it, and the winds, some up to 315km/h, “squealed like nothing he had heard before”. With the country in turmoil, she said he had spoken of returning to Ashburton for a visit to see his son Connor whom Mr and Mrs McOmish are bringing up. Scotty works in the geothermal energy industry, and Mrs McOmish said most of his work had been called off, so it was likely Scotty had caught a ferry to his home where he had been reunited with his family. The New Zealand Embassy said the former Ashburton man was one of 376 New Zealanders recorded as being in the Philippines during the typhoon. The Mid Canterbury Filipino community is now looking to collect donated food, money and items to send to loved ones back home and the Filipino Dairy Workers of New Zealand is holding a concert on Sunday evening at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre to raise further funds.
Ashburton’s pregnant women are exceeding Government targets when it comes to registering for maternity care in the early weeks of their pregnancy. Parliament’s Health Committee has released a report from an inquiry into improving child health and preventing child abuse and it recommends that 90 per cent of pregnant women should be registered for maternity care by their 10th week of pregnancy. In Ashburton the majority of mumsto-be register with a health professional between six and eight weeks gestation and almost all by 12 weeks, said Ashburton Birth Care lead maternity carer Sandra Scott. “We recommend early contact for lots of good reasons such as talking about health issues and providing good information, and definitely it seems we’re doing better than this report shows,” she said. Parts of New Zealand are lagging well behind target when it comes to early registration. In Counties Manukau - the highest birthing area in the country - less than 16.8 per cent of pregnant women had been assessed by a doctor or midwife before 10 weeks’ gestation. And New Zealand is lagging well behind best international practice, with a study showing 90 per cent of mums-tobe had registered with a health professional by eight weeks. In addition to having a high number of pregnant women remain outside the care umbrella until after their first trimester, New Zealand also had a high number of women – about 80 per cent – who said their pregnancy was not planned.
“
We recommend early contact for lots of good reasons such as health issues
And that finding was backed up by Ms Scott who said most women were not on a pre-pregnancy health programme that included a range of recommended vitamins to ensure they were as healthy as possible at conception, she said. “Determining this, however, comes down to what planned actually means.” For Ashburton’s newly pregnant women, meeting the guidelines for early registration for care was hampered to some degree by a midwife shortage, she said. With her group, an additional two lead maternity carers coming into the team in February should help address the shortfall. Along with a new national health target for early registration for pregnant women, the committee has made nearly 130 recommendations, ranging from warning labels on alcohol to compulsory sex education in schools. It has called for many of those recommendations to be completed either within one or two years. Committee chairman and National MP Paul Hutchison said the problem with New Zealand’s approach was that it was “reactive” rather than preventative. He said the focus on early intervention was crucial, and that began before conception.

■ ASHBURTON’S SECOND BRIDGE
Groups call for submissions By Sue NewmaN
sue.n@theguardian.co.nz
The greater the number of submissions filed on the land designation application for a second bridge across the Ashburton River, the better says chair of the Ashburton Citizens’ Association Diane Rawlinson. The Ashburton District Council has lodged an application to designate land at the end of Chalmers Avenue and
through rural Tinwald for a second bridge and that application is now open for public submissions. A meeting has been called tonight to help people understand the submission process and the steps they need to take to ensure their voice is heard, Ms Rawlinson said. The meeting has been called by the citizens’ association and the Bridge Action Group but it is open to anyone who could
be affected by the proposal, she said. “This meeting is about finding a way forward through the weeks until submissions close. There are people out there who are really worried. “Now the designation process is in the paper it suddenly all seems real and we need to get it into people’s heads how important it is that they make a submission.” The two groups would ensure
submission forms were distributed widely along the proposed bridge route. “It is absolutely important that you all make your neighbours, friends, work colleagues, families and anyone else that may listen, to take an active interest in completing a submission form. “They don’t have to all speak at the hearing, but they need to support the efforts to stop this bridge and its associated roads
into and away from it.” Ms Rawlinson said many people were saying the submission process was complicated and confusing but at the meeting the submission process would be worked through in a way that would encourage as many people as possible to fill in the forms. The council intends to have a hearing on its land designation application before a commissioner in February.

Ashburton College’s chessboard will be transformed into a relief aid hub today as it looks to help those in the typhoon-torn Philippines. Blankets, clothes, toys and cash raised from a school mufti-day will be piled into a container scheduled to leave Ashburton tomorrow bound for the disaster-stricken country. Boxes will be laid out across the college’s chessboard where pupils and contributing local primary schools can drop off items for those in need in the Philippines, while gold coin donations will be collected during family form time. “All donations will go directly to a reliable, known source in the worst-hit community in the Philippines. This is being organised, in Ashburton, by the Mid Canterbury Filipino co-ordinator,” a memo sent out to parents said. The Ashburton branch of Save the Children New Zealand last week donated $2000 raised from this month’s raffle to the Philippines appeal, while Ashburton Borough School raised about $600 from a mufti-day it held. The Mid Canterbury branch of the Filipino Dairy Workers of New Zealand will be holding a fundraising concert on Sunday night at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre for victims in their homelands.

It’s been a mixed bag so far for whitebaiters By SuSaN SaNdyS
susan.s@theguardian.co.nz
Whitebait were running for some but not for others at the mouth of the Ashburton River yesterday. A full moon last night, fine weather and high tide boded for good conditions, but rough seas meant fishers had to put a lot of effort into catching the delicacy. Hakatere resident Robert Mann was having the best day so far this season, after having hauled in up to a pound since
sweeping his net in knee deep water along the shore of the river mouth for a few hours. “Last Monday I came down here and got one in two hours.” He was happy with yesterday’s catch, which would do for tea for him and his partner. Another whitebaiter had managed to net 150 grams of whitebait. “It’s been quiet for a while, but it’s starting to pick up again,” he said. Ashburton’s Brian Kirk said he had been encouraged by “the

full moon, big tide”. It was the last full moon cycle of the whitebait season, which closes on November 30. “The 18th is usually a good day, but it’s just too rough,” he said. He was hoping for a nor’west breeze, as this would calm the ocean and maybe bring on a run. He had caught “not very
much” yesterday, similar to the success he had had all season. “I have had a feed three times, enough for two to three patties.” Mr Kirk had been whitebaiting for 30 years. While he had “never had much success at it”, that was no reason not to be enthusiastic about the pastime. “People play golf and they are not much good at it,” he said.

Sometimes you just have to do the hard yards By SuSan SandyS Technology proved no match for manual measuring wheels when it came to measuring the Mt Somers Track on Friday. Methven Search and Rescue members were measuring the track for the Methven Lions Club, which is to hold a marathon in the area and needs to create a route of 42.25 kilometres. Members Ron Smith, Don Geddes and Lew Shaw, the latter assisted by Verity Lydford, borrowed three of the wheels from Fulton Hogan, and pushed and pulled them along the track. They took various sections of the track, encompassing from the Woolshed Creek carpark to the Sharplin Falls carpark via both the Woolshed Creek and Pinnacles huts, and a south face route around the mountain. The approximate total of 30 kilometres will make up part of the run. Mr Shaw said as well as measuring the track manually, members used GPS devices, but they had not proved nearly as reliable.
“It doesn’t take into account climbing or descending, so it’s always going to be a little bit inaccurate, but we found it quite misleading in some cases,” Mr Shaw said. Climbing steep hills and crossing rivers proved a challenge at times with the measuring wheels. “Going up Duke’s Knob I had to climb up rocks, sometimes you need two hands on the track if you are holding the wheel, it just made it interesting.” Measurers observed two deer on the track, and several runners practising for the marathon. Methven Lions Club president Russell Currie said the Big Day At The Office marathon, to be held on November 30, would begin at Bowyer’s Stream and go into the Mt Somers Track via the Staveley Store. It will be the first Big Day marathon, while the club is also staging other traditional Big Day events of a multisport race and duathlon. It is the first time the club has hosted the event, which was previously run by Mid Canterbury multisport organiser Simon Hampton.

Library eyes self-checkout By Sue newman
sue.n@theguardian.co.nz
Customer service could soon be taken to a new level at the Ashburton Library if the option of self-checkout is introduced for book borrowers. The system is in place in many larger libraries around New Zealand and it is at the top of the wish-list for district librarian Jill Watson when the current checkout system is upgraded. She’s preparing a case for a system upgrade and said it would be an option to build the self-checkout system into this. Invercargill library has just introduced the system but Ms Watson said it has been well used and well tested in city libraries over several years. Ashburton’s current issue system was now more than 10 years old and would not accommodate a self-checkout function, she said. While self-checkout would speed up book issuing for customers, people with
fines or who were borrowing DVDs would still need to go through the traditional checkout system, she said. “We’re certainly hoping we can get this new system and with our longer opening hours it would help with staffing,” she said. The self-check system was expensive when it was first introduced, but the cost had dropped significantly putting it within reach of more, smaller libraries, Ms Watson said. A desensitizer would be built into the system to ensure books could not leave the library without passing through either the manual or self-service checkout. Mrs Watson said she would be preparing the case for a new library system for the next financial year and that would include the self-check add-on. “This is just another element of customer service; an updated system that is more user friendly. It’s about giving people options.”
Fall victim outside safety barriers By HeatHer mccracken A woman who fell 15 metres from Lion Rock at Piha yesterday was outside the safety barriers, emergency services say. The 22-year-old suffered severe cuts and a suspected broken elbow after falling down a steep slope onto rocks about 2.20pm, but was lucky to escape more serious injury. Piha Surf Life Saving Club patrol captain Gracey Monteith said lifeguards were alerted to the incident on Sunday by the woman’s boyfriend. Ms Monteith said lifeguards took her on a stretcher to the surf club, where
her wounds were dressed. She had taken a knock to the head, suffered deep grazes on her right side, severe cuts to her right elbow, and a suspected broken elbow. The woman was taken by the Westpac Rescue Helicopter to Auckland Hospital, where she was was in stable condition yesterday. Ms Monteith said no one else saw the fall, but the woman must have been outside safety barriers when she fell. However, it wasn’t clear whether she had walked up the marked track and then climbed over the barrier, or had been attempting to climb the steep slope where she fell. - APNZ

■ FIRE IN TREE LINE
Blaze keeps firefighters busy for over three hours Firefighters from across the Ashburton District rushed to a fire at a farm near Winchmore yesterday that destroyed a 150 metre tree line.
Two volunteer crews from Ashburton, one from Ashburton rural, Methven, Rakaia and the Lauriston Rural Fire Force attended the blaze on a Winchmore-Dromore
Road farm that tied firefighters up for more than three hours. The fire was situated on the other side of the hedge shown here, with a steady breeze blow-
ing smoke and embers west. It is believed the fire could have been started by a spark from dead tree burn-offs the farmer was conducting across the property.

■ HIGH COURT SEX CHARGES
Cop pleads guilty BY KURT BAYER Possible further victims of a crooked Christchurch cop are being urged to come forward after the former senior officer admitted sex and corruption charges yesterday. Senior Constable Gordon Stanley Meyer, 45, told a suspected drink driver that any charges would go away if she performed oral sex on him. He also groped an 18-year-old woman he was giving a lift between pubs while on duty in his marked patrol car. Meyer, who has since resigned from police, will be sentenced next month after pleading guilty in the High Court at Christchurch yesterday to indecent assault and corruption and bribery charges. He had been protected by name suppression since the incidents in 2011, but his identity was able to be revealed yesterday after he admitted the charges. Assistant Police Commissioner Grant Nicholls said police welcomed the conviction on behalf of the victims. He said the police investigation remained open and he urged other possible victims to also come forward. “Following today’s conviction, there may be others in the community who have information that is important to our inquiries. Our investigation still remains open and we encourage them to please come forward and speak with us.” Mr Nicholls praised all of those who had come forward, which had allowed police to hold Meyer to account and get justice for his victims.
“No one should have to put up with the kind of disgraceful behaviour exhibited by this former officer, who abused his position of trust and hurt those who he should have been helping.” The court was told yesterday that Meyer, who had 19 years’ service and often worked as the acting sergeant at Christchurch South police station, was working alone on night shift on September 15, 2011. His 23-year-old victim that night was the driver of a car he had seen leaving a Riccarton pub about 1.35am. He pulled the car over and carried out a breath alcohol test which suggested she was over the limit. When the woman asked what options she had, Meyer twice suggested: “How about we sort it out on a personal level?” He dropped any official police paperwork, took her keys and dropped her and her companion both home. Meyer returned to her house in the police car at around 3.30am, but a friend went outside and told him that she didn’t want anything to do with him. Between September 15 and October 10, Meyer phoned the woman 19 times. When he pulled over a car she was travelling in as a passenger on October 20, she “thought she was being stalked” and made a formal complaint. The court also heard Meyer had made inappropriate contact with an 18-yearold woman he met on official police duties earlier in 2011. Justice Graham Panckhurst remanded Meyer on existing bail conditions to December 19 for sentencing. - APNZ

OUR VIEW
Asset sale bad timing Coen Lammers EDITOR
T
he sale of Air New Zealand shares by the Government may have made commercial sense but many will see it as an act of defiance or even arrogance, only weeks before a referendum on asset sales. Backers of state asset sales will point out that the Air New Zealand sale yesterday has nothing to do with the referendum. They will claim that the airline is already privatised and that the Government is merely cashing in while the stocks are hot, just like it predicted during the last election. Technically the sale of 20 per cent of Air New Zealand shares may be different from floating Mighty River or Meridian, but for the many Kiwis it will still feel like the Government is selling off more of the country’s precious silverware. Interestingly, an online poll among 4000 readers of the New Zealand Herald indicated that the majority of them have no problem with yesterday’s sale. We all know that polls are not a referendum and only reflect a certain part of our community, but it is still an indication that the referendum may not get the overwhelming ‘No’ vote the Green and Labour parties are hoping for. Despite the best spin doctoring by Finance Minister Bill English, the sale of Mighty River Power and Meridian has not been a roaring success and both shares have struggled to set the stock market on fire. The predicted revenue of the state asset sales programme will get nowhere near the initial projections, especially now Solid Energy is no longer worth selling, so it seems odd the Government dogmatically refuses to deviate from the asset sales path. The referendum is a genuine opportunity to see what the New Zealand people really think, and if the Government would be confident it still has the people’s support, there can be little harm in holding on to the silverware for a few more weeks. The 2011 election gave the Government the mandate to sell assets to get New Zealand out of its fatal debt cycle, but the timing of the Air New Zealand sale has given the opposition ammunition to convince Kiwis to change their mind.

B
eing a Dutch-Kiwi I have come to accept that things don’t always come out as expected. Some things can get lost in translation between what you say and what people think you said. I put reports I got of a speech made to a business audience in Auckland by Fonterra CEO, Theo Spierings, into that category. Being a compatriot of mine, I know Theo holds the Kiwi dairy industry in high esteem and not just for our productivity, but for the way we manage environmental matters inside the farm gate. What has been lost in translation is the conversation relating to Fonterra’s environmental performance as a company and not the whole co-operative. What was reported is that Fonterra isn’t doing anything about the environment when Theo said that Fonterra did not have the environment as an overall part of its strategy. Theo pointed out that our European competitors had upwards of a decade’s march on Fonterra. What was lost in translation is that the European processors were forced to do this because of draconian regulation in order to help their shareholders out. As companies, they have moved to get a lot closer to their consumers and we can learn from that. I know Theo is running the ruler over Fonterra, the company and not co-op, in light of the board’s kicking of the tyres following the recent food scare. We know on-farm that the number of dairy abatement notices and dairy infringement

notices have all but halved over the past four seasons. We also know that if the number of farmers appearing before the courts for environmental crimes was translated into the national crime statistics, New Zealand would be the safest country on earth. Fonterra, the company, has been in the gun of late for all sorts of things, some of it fair but some totally unfair. That to me was where Theo was going. That you can readily get all sorts of statistics on farming’s performance shows a degree of transparency you can’t get from most councils. Christchurch’s performance on the Heathcote and Avon rivers, as well as Ashburton’s Carter’s Creek, never gets mentioned in the media though they’ve been in a bad way for years. As minister Amy Adams said at the launch of a new framework for freshwater management; urban communities need
to face up to some real issues too. Environment Canterbury’s dairy report for the 2012-13 season tells us 71.3 per cent (717 dairy farms) in Canterbury were fully compliant with their resource consents. While 21.3 per cent of farms (212) recorded minor non-compliance, this could be as simple as not having the consent up on the milking shed wall. Poor paperwork is not good practice but it’s also something which isn’t going to pollute the local creek. Our challenge remains with major non-compliance, where 6.8 per cent (68 farms) got pinged by ECan. Federated Farmers’ South Canterbury dairy chair, Ryan O’Sullivan, put his finger on the button with this: “You need to get your processes right, but it’s really the major noncompliance – such as effluent seepage – that the public are really concerned about.” These words also tell you
dairy farmers know how important it is to get things right because we work and live where we farm. Unlike many industries outside of agriculture, farmers like me pay a small levy on each kilogram of milksolids we produce. This goes into research and development and activities to make us better farmers and last year levies paid to DairyNZ amounted to over $60 million. You cannot say that farmers don’t understand the need for research and you have to wonder if sectors outside of the primary industries would benefit from research for the collective good. Unless it gets lost in policy translation I’ll suggest that to the Minister for Economic Development at Federated Farmers National Council this week.

Cool fun at the domain pool By Kathleen Stringer
W
hile it’s not the time of year to be thinking about swimming, it’s good to remember that summer is coming. These images come from an unknown source and were pasted in a few pages from an album. Again we are grateful to the photographer for giving us enough information to understand what these images are about. In this case, we were given a date and a title for one of the images. Checking the Ashburton Guardian for February 11, 1910, we discovered that the Ashburton Amateur Swimming Club held its first carnival at the domain pool. What followed was a comprehensive report on the activities and personalities. I was especially intrigued by Mr B. T. Missen’s duty as costume steward – did he check the propriety of the men’s togs I wonder? Or maybe he was responsible for fitting out the participants in the ‘banquet’ where men dressed in comical attire and had a meal on a floating table in the middle of the pool – the mind boggles! It was quite an occasion daring costumes or not; over 200 people entered for a variety of events including men from Addington, East Christchurch, Lyttelton Gymnasium, Richmond, Spreydon, Waltham and Yaldhurst and also Rakaia clubs. Apart from swimming there was the greasy pole competition (which received 20 entries and may be what the man in the image is doing) and the spring board dive. What especially caught my eye was the image of men supposedly just standing in the water. (Incidentally, for those who can’t make it, out the sign at the back of the image tells us that they are standing in the deep end of the pool). When one looks closely the team has a large ball in front of them, but handily the nameless photographer tells us that it is the Ashburton water polo team. At the end of the swimming sports Ashburton and Rakaia played a match. And, thanks to Trevor Thomas, Ashburton beat Rakaia – two goals to nil. The first recorded water polo match in Ashburton was actually in 1892 and took place at the second swimming meeting (as opposed to carnival) of the Amateur Swimming Club. Then Ashburton fell victim to the Christchurch team 3-0, due, or so the Guardian said, to the local team having no organisation.

On that occasion a half holiday was declared so everyone could attend. This was not the case in 1910 however, even though the carnival took place on a Thursday. By agreement the town’s half-day holiday was Thursday afternoon – from 1pm, which meant that Saturday was a full
working day. Judging by the crowds the carnival was a great success and attracted a fair proportion of Ashburton’s citizens. Thankfully, due to one simple date written on the album pages we can fully appreciate the occasion and learn more about Ashburton’s aquatic past.

Hostage returns home A 63-year-old French engineer who escaped from his captors in northern Nigeria after 11 months as a hostage has returned home to France. Francis Collomp was welcomed by Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault on the tarmac at Villacoublay military airport yesterday, a day after he escaped by motorcycle in the northern Nigeria state of Kaduna. Some 30 men stormed Collomp’s home on December 19, 2012, abducting him and killing a neighbour and a security guard. Boko Haram splinter group Ansaru claimed responsibility. - AP

Tornadoes hit US Midwest Dozens of tornadoes and intense thunderstorms swept across the US Midwest yesterday, killing at least six people, causing extensive damage in several Illinois communities and darkening downtown Chicago. An elderly man and his sister were killed when a tornado hit their home, said coroner Mark Styninger. Patti Thompson of the Illinois Emergency Management Agency confirmed three other deaths but did not provide details. The agency confirmed another death. With communications dif-
ficult and many roads impassable, it remained unclear how many people were killed or hurt by the unusually strong late-season tornadoes. “The whole neighbourhood’s gone. The wall of my fireplace is all that is left of my house,” said Michael Perdun, speaking by phone from the hard-hit town of Washington. Local official Tyler Gee told WLS-TV that as he walked through neighbourhoods immediately after the tornado struck, he “couldn’t even tell what street I was on.” “Just completely flattened — some of the neighbourhoods
here in town, hundreds of homes.” State Police Trooper Dustin Pierce said the tornado cut a path from one end of the rural community of 16,000 to the other, knocking down power lines, uprooting trees and rupturing gas lines. At OSF Saint Francis Medical Centre in Peoria, spokeswoman Amy Paul said 37 patients had been treated, eight with injuries ranging from broken bones to head injuries that were serious enough to be admitted. Another hospital, Methodist Medical Centre in Peoria, treated more than a dozen peo-
ple, but officials there said none were seriously injured. As the rain and high winds slammed into the Chicago area, officials cleared a professional sports stadium and cleared teams off the field for a couple of hours. Just how many tornadoes hit was unclear. According to the National Weather Service’s website, a total of 65 tornadoes struck, most of them in Illinois. But meteorologist Matt Friedlein said the total might fall because emergency workers, tornado spotters and others often report the same tornado. - AP
■ RUSSIA
Investigators seek clues on deadly plane crash Russian investigators were combing through the charred fragments of a Boeing 737 jetliner as they tried to determine what caused its crash that killed all 50 people on board. The plane belonging to the Tatarstan Airlines crashed while trying to land at its home port in the Russian city of Kazan, the capital of the oil-rich province of Tatarstan. The son of the provincial governor and the chief of the local branch of Russia’s main security agency were among the victims.
The plane crashed while making a second attempt at landing, said Alexander Poltinin, the head of the local branch of Russia’s Investigative Committee. He said the investigators are trying to determine why the crew couldn’t land at first try. Poltinin said the investigators are looking into a possible pilot error or an equipment failure. The traffic controller at the Kazan airport who contacted the plane before the crash said the crew told him they weren’t
ready for landing as it was approaching, but didn’t specify the problem. The plane exploded on impact, and its burning fragments littered the tarmac. Poltinin said it could take weeks to identify some of the victims. Russian emergency ministry officials said a British national, Donna Bull, was among the victims. The investigators have found one of the plane’s two black boxes, which are essential for the crash probe. The plane that crashed was
built 23 years ago and had seen service with several carriers prior to being commissioned by the Tatarstan Airlines. The company insisted the aircraft was in good condition. The carrier has had a good safety record, but appears to have run into financial problems recently. Its personnel went on strike in September over back wages, and the Kazan airport authority has gone to arbitration to claim what it said was the Tatarstan Airlines’ debt for servicing its planes. - AP
Where tents once sprouted and protesters chanted, municipal workers are now laying grass and flowers in the roundabout of Egypt’s famous Tahrir Square. There in the centre, workmen rushed to put the finishing touches on the base of what the government says will be a memorial dedicated to the protesters killed in Egypt’s political turmoil. But the turmoil is not over. Even now, soldiers routinely block off the often-deserted square with armoured personnel carriers and barbed wire on days authorities fear protests and clashes could reach the central Cairo plaza. - AP
Nobel author dies Doris Lessing emerged from a black cab outside her home in London one day in 2007 and was confronted by a horde of reporters. When told she had won the Nobel Prize, she blinked and retorted “Oh Christ! ... I couldn’t care less.” That was typical of the independent — and often irascible — author who died yesterday after a long career that included The Golden Notebook, a 1962 novel that made her an icon of the women’s movement. The exact cause of Lessing’s death was not immediately disclosed, and her family requested privacy. She was 94. - AP
Pakistan ends curfew The government lifted a rare curfew in the garrison city of Rawalpindi that was imposed after sectarian clashes between Shiite and Sunni Muslims killed 10 people, officials said. Army troops will continue to patrol the city for several more days, and there is still a ban on more than four people assembling in one place, said police officer Mohammad Amir. The sectarian clash that prompted the curfew occurred when hundreds of Shiites were holding a procession to mark Ashoura, one of the sect’s most important religious occasions. - AP
Rebel leader dies A prominent Syrian rebel group says its leader has died of shrapnel wounds sustained during government shelling last week. The death was the latest blow to rebels amid advances in recent weeks by President Bashar Assad’s forces. A spokesman for the Tawhid Brigade, the main rebel outfit in Aleppo province, says the group’s leader Abdul-Qadir Saleh died. Akram al-Halaby said the brigade appointed Abdul-Aziz Salameh to succeed Saleh. - AP

■ AIR NEW ZEALAND
In brief
Brokers accept minimal fee By Jonathan Underhill Brokerages participating in the sale of 20 per cent of Air New Zealand for the government have accepted a fee of just 0.35 per cent for what is seen as a trophy deal, people close to the transaction say. The bookbuild, which was started yesterday and will be completed by this afternoon, has been pitched at a starting price of $1.60 a share and is expected to settle between $1.60 and Friday’s closing price of $1.65, they said. At Friday’s price, the 220 million shares on offer are worth $363 million, implying a fee of about $1.3 million will be shared between more than 10 participating brokers. That would include an institutional commission for the sale managers Craigs Investment Partners, Deutsche Bank and Goldman Sachs. Offshore institutions are re-
stricted in what they can buy because of the government’s insistence on the airline remaining at least 85 per cent in New Zealand ownership. Results of the sale including the price are to be announced later today. The sales process has been at breakneck speed. The Treasury put out a request for proposals from broking houses on Friday night with responses due back by Saturday afternoon, giving the brokerages just Saturday night to design the transaction, which was announced on Sunday afternoon. But the government has been poised to proceed with the sale for longer, having accepted advice that it was timely. The looming referendum on state asset sales, that starts on November 22, may have influenced the timing as well. With the overhang of government shares digested, there is the prospect of a further rally for the airline stock, which has Compiled by

Newly-listed Meridian Energy said the average price it received for its power generation in the September quarter was 22 per cent lower than the same quarter last year, mostly reflecting higherthan-average lake levels, while demand was flat. Catchment inflows were 139 per cent of the historical average in the quarter and 21 per cent higher than the same quarter last year, Meridian said in a statement to the NZX. The quarter’s inflows were dominated by very high inflows in early July and mid-September, which resulted in comparatively high storage levels by the end of the quarter. - APNZ
Burden on the move advanced 27 percent this year, when they come out of the trading halt announced yesterday morning for the duration of the bookbuild. The stock is rated a ‘buy’ based on the consensus of six analyst recommendations compiled by Reuters, with a median price target of $1.94. Local institutions have typically been underweight the stock because of its scarcity to date.
Finance Minister Bill English and State-Owned Enterprises Minister Tony Ryall cited other selldowns of listed companies in the past 12 months as examples of the success of an offmarket sale process.

Lake levels affect price
Banking now ‘any time of the day’ By tamsyn Parker Mobile access to banking has boosted people’s awareness of of their financial situation and helped prevent them going into the red, according to research by Westpac bank. The online survey of 843 Westpac customers confirmed expectations that the trend to use a smartphone or tablet to check your accounts is being taken up widely in the younger and more affluent crowd. Of those surveyed 84 per cent of 26 to 35 years olds used mobile banking and 78 per cent of under 25 year olds used it. But, surprisingly, 30 per cent of people aged over 55 also used their devices to bank. Those earning over $50,000 a year were also more likely to use mobile banking. The biggest perceived advantages to using mobile banking was the ability to bank anywhere, do banking on the go and bank at any time of the day. But 64 per cent also said it had increased the awareness of their financial situation, more than 50 per cent said they felt more in control of their money and 23 per cent said it meant their account was overdrawn less often.
The man running Dunedin’s Forsyth Barr Stadium is joining the opposition in Christchurch, it has been confirmed. The departure of Dunedin Venues Management Ltd chief executive Darren Burden was confirmed in a brief statement yesterday. Mr Burden, who has only been in the role just over a year, has been recruited by Christchurch City Council’s venue management company, Vbase. Vbase was responsible for CBS Canterbury Arena, the Air Force Museum and AMI Stadium, and, if plans are confirmed, could eventually add a new roofed stadium to its portfolio. - ODT
Trustpower wins scrap Inland Revenue has lost a High Court fight with NZX-listed Trustpower over whether more than $17 million the electricity company spent on resource consents was tax-deductible. Trustpower, the country’s fourthlargest retailer and fifth-largest generator of electricity, said the $17.7m spent in applying and getting resource consents for four projects was part of feasibility analysis and was tax-deductible. The projects in question were a hydro scheme at Arnold River on the South Island’s west coast, a Southland wind farm, a hydro project on the Wairau River and a wind farm west of Dunedin. - NZH
AWF spending up large
Ian Blair, general manager retail bank at Westpac said the survey showed mobile banking had the power to change behaviour. “Using mobile devices, Kiwis are checking in on various aspects of their finances a lot more regularly and are getting real benefits from doing so.” Blair said the rate at which mobile banking was being adopted was seven times faster than internet banking. The research found the main reason people have not started using mobile banking was security. “That’s not dissimilar to when online banking was introduced and is something we have to educate customers about,” Blair said. - NZH
AWF Group has been given the go-ahead by shareholders to spend up to $36 million buying whitecollar recruitment agency Madison Group in a deal forecast to boost annual earnings by half. The shares gained 5.6 percent to $2.85, adding to this year’s 13 percent rally, after investors approved the Madison acquisition. Auckland-based AWF will spend $30 million on the acquisition, with a further $6 million in earn-outs if Madison meets expectations, funding the deal with debt, it said in a statement. Madison is forecast to lift AWF’s underlying earnings to $8 million in 2015 from $5.4 million in the year ended March 31, and earnings per share are expected to climb to 30 cents by 2015 from 20 cents in 2013, it said. Revenue is expected to grow to $200 million from $130.5 million in 2013. “We are delighted shareholders have approved this acquisition,” chairman Ross Keenan said. “It will provide AWF with a major strategic presence within the white collar recruitment and contracting sector.” - APNZ

Keep an eye out for white tip disease
AP Hind 50kg AP Stag 60kg AP Stag 80kg
Mid Canterbury farmers are being asked to keep a look-out for white tip disease. If the disease is already in New Zealand, it will make it easier to import a new bio-herbicide to combat Californian thistle. Californian thistle (Cirsium arvense) is a widespread, common and noxious weed in New Zealand, affecting a wide range of production systems. Current control is based on herbicides, mainly glyphosate, clopyralid or metsulfuron, which, while they can be effective, have a range of downsides. A non-chemical control for Californian thistle would therefore be great news. It is therefore exciting that Canadian scientists have developed a biological herbicide (bio-herbicide) based on the white tip fungus (Phoma macrostoma) that naturally attacks Californian thistles, and which is now available to farmers and growers in North America. Hoping to expand the number of regions which the bio-herbicide can be used in, the Canadian scientists teamed
up with UK researchers, who confirmed that the disease was already present in the UK, which meant that import and phytosanitary requirements can be considerably simplified. If white tip disease were found to already be present in New Zealand, this may also help streamline the importation of the bio-herbicide into New Zealand, and give Kiwi farmers and growers a new option in the battle against Californian thistle. However, there are no records of the disease in New Zealand, so the Future Farming Centre, is asking producers to get in touch if they think they have seen the disease on thistles on their properties. Samples can then be collected for full identification. Full information on how farmers and growers (and any one else) can help, is on the Future Farming Centre website at www.bhu.org.nz/future-farmingcentre/information/bulletin/2013-v2/ white-tipped-californian-thistlesbe-onthe-lookout

Overseas delegates learn from BCI head Barrhill Chertsey Irrigation (BCI) general manager John Wright (right) talks to conference delegates from around the world at the scheme intake on the Rakaia River on Sunday. The four-day conference is for GrowAbroad, an alliance of organisations involved in selecting young people to work on overseas farms. It is held in a different country each year, and is this year being hosted by Rural Exchange New Zealand (RENZ), which places over 100 youngsters from overseas on New Zealand farms each year for up to 12 months. Spokesperson David Lucas said Mid Canterbury was an area popular with people coming to work in the district, “hence Methven was chosen as the venue for this year’s conference”. The conference is based at Methven Resort and was opened by Ashburton Mayor Angus McKay on Saturday. As well as BCI, delegates visited the Casey-Solly dairy farm and Rob Turney’s pig and crop farm, where exchange workers are based. Today delegates were to try adventure activities such as skydiving and river rafting. “Because a lot of the trainees who come here and work, they do those sort of things,” Mr Lucas said.

MARKET REPORT LAMB
The tide continues to steadily rise in overseas lamb markets, particularly the UK. Frozen CKT lambs legs into the UK are trading within a relatively wide band. Some sales that were locked in earlier in the year are still being done at around £4/kg, while other more recent transactions are occurring at over £4.30/kg. At the same time in the US, rack prices have lifted slightly further, with demand edging higher as items regain their place on menus. With lamb markets steadily rising exporters are confident of achieving firmer prices in 2014. As a result, some are happy to focus on short-term trades and are showing little urgency to lock in sales beyond the end of this year. They do, however, remain extremely wary of pushing lamb prices too hard and burning off demand that has taken over 12 months to recover.
BEEF
The slightly more positive tone in manufacturing beef markets continued over the past week. Bull meat prices into the US edged fractionally higher, although increasing supplies from NZ have prevented major rises. The US imported 90CL cow market had a stronger lift, although offers out of NZ are typically low at this time of season. Pricing for prime cuts remains subdued, largely due to the flood of beef out of Australia that’s appearing in virtually all of NZ’s markets. However, the seasonal increase in Australia’s steak consumption should start occurring now and that should lessen export volumes slightly. Trade into Indonesia is lifting following changes to import policies in September, especially for offal products. Meanwhile, NZ exporters continue to report strong demand out of China.
FORESTRY
Forestry exports this year have been setting records for both volume and value as China’s demand for wood products has lead to massive demand for NZ logs. NZ log exports to China in the third quarter were over 3 million m³, a 40% year-on-year increase, and made up 71% of NZ’s total exports. In the past month prices have risen to the highest levels yet this year, with A-grade logs now reaching $114/tonne delivered to the wharf gate. This is a 23% year on year rise, and is the driver for most other log types rising in price. High export prices this year have not reached the same peak as in the record log prices in 2011, but the consistently high prices have meant export values have been high for a longer period of time. The average A-grade price delivered to the wharf this year has been $109/tonne, compared with an average of $96/tonne for the whole year 2011. This has meant that the value of log exports in the first three quarters this year have reached just under $1.7 billion. That is greater than the $1.65 billion value of log exports in the full year of 2011, which was the previous record.

parsley into it. Leave for a couple of minutes while your griddle pan heats up. When almost smoking, add chicken, reduce heat to medium and cook for 4 minutes each side or until cooked through. Squeeze over the lemon and rest. ■ Meanwhile, heat a pan on high and add a little oil. Throw in the sliced onion and cook until softened. Add the chorizo, combining together. Cook for at least 3

■ RUGBY SEVENS
Nationals berth main target BY JONATHAN LEASK
JONATHAN.L@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ
Don’t come last is the Mid Canterbury Sevens side’s goal at the South Island rugby sevens in Timaru this weekend. Up for grabs is qualification to the nationals in Rotorua in January for five teams, with only six teams attending. If Mid Canterbury can qualify for the semi-finals they can start preparing no matter how they fare, but if they finish in the bottom two it’s a cut-throat elimination playoff for fifth place that has the winner winging to Rotorua. “After playing five games you can still get a last chance but it would be good not to have to worry about that game,” Mid Canterbury Sevens coach Mark Cousins said. “It’s going to be a big day but if we can get stuck in early and pick up a couple of wins we should be right. “We’ve actually had better results than usual in the lead-up tournament to be on the plus side of the ledger.” Their last hit out was on Friday at another Christchurch Metropolitan Spring Sevens tournament, where Mid Canterbury won three of their five pool games before losing the semi-final to Canterbury Samoans, who lost the final to the Canterbury Fijians, and concluded a strong build-up for the squad. “It was good value for us to play against a high level of opponents and get our squad in place but a few injuries came
out of Friday which we’ll take a look at before naming the final squad.” From Cousins’ squad of 16 Heartland XV representative Dwayne Burrows and his Mid Canterbury midfield partner Peni Manumanuniwila, who both featured last year, are expected to make the final squad along with fellow Meads Cup winners and Ashburton College stand-outs Nete Caucau and Seta Koroitamana. Jon Dampney was unavailable as he is getting fractured scaphoid (a small bone in thumb) repaired after playing a large part of the season carrying the injury while Will Mackenzie was also nursing a banged up leg after the Heartland XV matches. Cousins was set to name a squad of 12 today which, injury dependent, would be confirmed on Friday before they go out with their goal to not come last. Mid Canterbury lost all three games at the qualifying tournament in Timaru last year and finished seventh out of seven Mid Canterbury teams. Sevens squad: Cousins was critical of the Jay Aitken, Tom draw format where the teams Blyth, Niko Bueta, played just three pool matches Dwayne Burrows, before heading into playoffs but Nete Caucau, Josh with the absence of North OtaMid Canterbury draw: Colgan, Andrew go, the six teams will play a full 10.20am v Southland Fluker, Aleki Hifo, round robin. 11.20am v Sth Canterbury Seta Koroitamana, The top four, who automati12.40pm v Otago Seta Matoli, Paulo 3.00pm v Canterbury Matoli, Peni Manucally qualify for the nationals, 4.20pm v Tasman manuniwila, Harry playoff for bragging rights 5.20pm Semi-finals Miller, Toafa Touli, while the bottom two play off 6.00pm 5th place playoff Romeo Touli, for the final spot. 7.00pm: Final Tavita Tupou. The South Island Sevens will be aired live on Sky Sport 1. Peni Manumanuwila will be an influential player this weekend.
Nesbitt makes it back to back victories Rob Nesbitt has secured back-to-back wins in Tinwald Cycling Club’s racing taking the line in the 48km handicap at guardianonline.co.nz Wakanui on Sunday. Nesbitt made a solo break in the final lap to find the front and hold out the challengers in the final sprint to the line, backing up his win in the 45km handicap in Methven seven days earlier. Bruce Albon hit the line strongly to take second narrowly over the improving Brendan Davidson who stormed into third. Scratch marker Nathan Tew rode the course in 69.07 minutes to record the fastest time from co-markers Tony Ward and Brad Hudson. A good field of juniors competed over 16km where Ethan Titheridge also achieved back-to-back victories securing the win by the barest of margins over Jenna Borthwick. Ben Sutton covered the course in 28.32mins to record the fastest time from co-marker Jessie Banks. Next week the club travels to Mt Somers with the seniors covering 45km and the juniors 20km as the riders continue to Ben Sutton covers the final few metres in the Tinwald Cycling Club’s Junior handi- build towards the club championships on cap race on Sunday.

Big guns to miss Nationals Mark Jackman and the All Blacks Sevens squad assembled in Mt Maunganui yesterday to prepare for the next two tournaments of the Sevens World Series, but it is unlikely any of the players will be permitted to play at the nationals in Rotorua. Some of New Zealand’s most experienced internationals haven’t played at the nationals for several years, such as DJ Forbes and Tomasi Cama, while others on the fringe of selection or coming back from injury like to turn out for their home province, but probably won’t this time. The nationals take place in the usual time slot, roughly the second weekend of January, which would usually give Gordon Tietjens four weeks to select and prepare his squad for the Wellington Sevens in early February. However, the IRB have changed the dates of the Las Vegas sevens, bringing it forward to be two weeks before Wellington, as opposed to the weekend after in previous seasons. That doesn’t leave the team long enough for preparation, essentially needing to board a plane after the finals to get to Las Vegas for the start of the tournament four days later on the Friday.
Grant No. 1 for Aorangi BY JONATHAN LEASK
JONATHAN.L@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ
Mid Canterbury golfers make up the majority of the Aorangi men’s golf team for the National Interprovincial at the North Shore Golf Club starting on December 3. Four of the five golfers are from the Ashburton or Tinwald clubs. Ashburton’s Cameron Grant retains his number one spot with club mate Jordan Green at two, repeating last year’s top two. After a standout performance in the South Island Interprovincials in Methven at the weekend Tinwald’s Josh Smith earned the number three spot. Timaru’s George Wardell will play at four with Ashburton’s Daniel Green at number five while St Andrews Matthew McLean will travel as the reserve. Tinwald’s Nigel Heney, who also enjoyed a big weekend at the South Islands, was not available for selection. Aorangi play Taranaki and Wellington on day one.

In brief Addictive Habit back Stakes performer Addictive Habit is making good progress toward a return to racing after a lengthy injury-forced break. “He’s had seven months off after he tweaked a tendon on a firm track in the Derby,” trainer Lee Somervell said. “We were lucky we caught it early and the scans have been all clear. He’s had a couple of weeks of trotting and he’s on the aqua walker – he looks magnificent.” Placed behind Habibi in both the Gr.2 Great Northern Guineas and the Gr.2 Championship Stakes last season, Somervell is keen to give Addictive Habit his chance in Australia next year. - APNZ

■ BLACK TYPE
Stable rolls out consistent winners Forget being the biggest buyer at the yearling sales. David Ellis has filled that spot many times, but he says that’s the easy part. “Converting that into results is the tough part,” said Ellis after his 1-3 Costa Viva, Spellbinder $300,000 NZ Bloodstock 1000 Guineas result at Riccarton on Saturday. It was the seventh Guineas victory under the Te Akau banner - the 2000 Guineas four times and three in the 1000 Guineas. Some would say a fraction of the remarkable element in that is lost because of the level of horse David Ellis buys. Hardly
Rite Of Spring rated Trainer Michael Freedman looks to have unearthed a potential star after his three-year-old gelding Rite Of Spring recorded a comfortable last-start victory at Kranji. It was the New Zealandbred galloper’s third win in five starts – with two other second-place finishes - and his performance has Freedman optimistic about the future of his latest star. “He’s got lots of potential,” Freedman said. “I would rank him among the top echelon of three-year-olds here.” - APNZ
Glory steps up The Steven Burridge-trained Boundless Glory has franked his steady climb to the top with a most unlikely win at the expense of some of the best sprinters in the land in Singapore. The New Zealand-bred was an honest breadand-butter Class 4 galloper about a year ago, but on Sunday night he bridged the gap to top company with victory in the Goodwill Stakes. Under a forceful ride from Brazilian jockey Vagner Leal, Boundless Glory unleashed a blinding turn of foot inside the last 200 metres to spring an upset and nose out Huka Falls on the line. - APNZ
O’Darci oh so special The Gr.1 Thorndon Mile is a possible target for rising star O’Darci, which has earned a comparison to a past winner of the Trentham feature. “Gee, he’s impressive this horse,” trainer Jason Bridgman said. “He’s like a Calm Harbour - he’s a serious, serious horse the way he opens up on them.” Trained by the late Noel Eales, Calm Harbour won 16 races including the Thorndon Mile at just his eighth start and the undefeated O’Darci may also step onto the big stage at an early stage of his career. - APNZ
On track for Railway Cambridge mare Fleur de Lune will have one more start to complete her preparation for the defence of her Railway Stakes title. She gained a deserved victory in the Sistema-sponsored sprint at the start of 2013 after several top-flight placings and trainer Lee Somervell is keen to have another crack at the New Year’s Day sprint, despite a last-start hiccup. Fleur de Lune was unplaced on Saturday after a tardy start forced her to cover extra ground and she wilted to sixth. “I feel quite sorry for (apprentice) Viktoria Gatu as it was the ideal race to claim in, but sometimes Fleur can do that and it was a bit of a non-event,” he said. - APNZ
David Ellis: Canny buyer
the point - price is irrelevant weighed against securing the right horses then developing a stable environment that can convert that animal into a group one winner. That’s a hell of a lot easier to say than to actually achieve. Since joining Te Akau three years and three months ago, trainer Jason Bridgman has produced more black type winners than any of the country’s mentors. The modest and readily available horseman won the 1000 Guineas with King’s Rose, the 2000 Guineas with Rock ‘N Pop followed up with Saturday’s result.

Standing off to the side as Leith Innes brought Costa Viva back to the Riccarton birdcage was Te Akau’s assistant trainer Pam Gerrard. If she is a little publicly unsung, she is highly thought of within the fold. “Five weeks ago Pam said goodbye to her two young children at Matamata and headed south with four horses,” said David Ellis. “She produced a Costa Viva-Chambord quinella result in the Coupland Stakes, won the Spring Classic with Viana, took second in the 2000 Guineas with Chambord and has now taken a first and third 1000 Guineas result. - APNZ

■ WORLD OF FOOTBALL
In brief
All Whites looking forward By Daniel RichaRDson Playing in last Thursday’s horror 5-1 loss to Mexico was enough for the All Whites who haven’t watched a replay of the game as they build towards tomorrow’s second leg of their intercontinental playoff in Wellington. Last week’s hammering at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City didn’t make pretty viewing and All Whites midfielder Chris James, who scored New Zealand’s only goal with a late left-foot strike, said they didn’t need to relive it as part of their analysis for the return fixture. “Me personally, I don’t need to watch the match, I think there’s a lot of lads who probably think like that as well,” James said. “I think it was very clear for everyone to see what the problems were for us, so going over it and watching it wouldn’t change anything at all in our heads. “We know exactly what’s gone wrong and we know how to put that right so that’s the intention of the lads at the moment, to do that in the next game. “But also have that positivity that we need to go out and score as many goals as we can.” Poor marking at set-pieces, a lack of composure on the ball and the tendency to defend too deep were all key problems for the All Whites, who were played off the park in the opening leg. Changing that in the space of a few days won’t be easy but the All Whites aren’t lacking in confidence. James, alongside Jeremy Brockie, Shane Smeltz and

young defender Storm Roux all fronted the media yesterday and spoke with a notably upbeat demeanour despite the dire situation the All Whites are in at this point of the tie. The side have discussed the heroics of national teams gone by and hoped to feed off that underdog mentality tomorrow as they chase a big win to swing things back in their favour. In the past few days, many of the players have noted that “stranger things have happened” in football than the possibility of New Zealand winning 4-0 tomorrow to punch a ticket to next year’s World Cup in Brazil. James, who is a strong chance to start in central midfield, said the side had let the country down during the first leg. “I know we are definitely going to be playing a very attacking game,” the Finland-based 26-year-old said. “We need to score four goals, that’s very simple, everyone knows that so we have to be attacking.” Brockie, who is still searching for his first international goal after 41 appearances for the All Whites, said the side wouldn’t leave anything in the sheds. “We’ve only got 90 minutes between now and a World Cup place. So the longer we leave it the harder it’s going to get. “So we’ll be coming out right from the start to get in their faces, not let them have any time on the ball and hopefully we can get an early goal.” Herbert will likely name his starting XI today and there has been growing speculation around what formation and per-
For a bloke who is prolific in front of goal for the Wellington Phoenix, Jeremy Brockie’s goal drought for the All Whites is verging on remarkable. Since his international debut in 2006, Brockie is yet to find the back of the net in 41 appearances, which is a stark contrast to his form in the ALeague where he scored 16 times in 24 appearances for the Jeremy Brockie: On home turf Phoenix last summer. name on the score sheet in quick He’s already bagged two fashion tomorrow night when goals for Wellington this season the All Whites host Mexico in but knows he is well overdue to the second leg of their interopen his account for New Zea- continental playoff at Westpac land.

England’s World Cup ambitions will be under an unforgiving spotlight tonight when they tackle arch rivals Germany at Wembley Stadium in their final fixture of 2013. The Roy Hodgson-coached side’s 10-game unbeaten run was ended in disappointing fashion by Chile on Friday and, against Germany, they face a team who dropped only two points in qualifying for Brazil 2014. The game is the latest chapter in a story that has conjured up some of the most enduring images in the sport’s history, from England’s triumph in the 1966 World Cup final at Wembley to the Germans’ spot-kick success in the European Championship semi-finals on the same turf 30 years later. The sides have been evenly matched in recent encounters, with three wins apiece in their six matches since the turn of the century. - AFP
Ange to savour debut Six years ago, Ange Postecoglou thought he was finished. So he’s not quite sure how he arrived at this point: coaching Australia for the first time. “I am not sure how I got here,” Postecoglou said yesterday. “But I am here. And it will be a special moment for me.” Six years ago, Postecoglou was sacked as Australia’s youth team boss. And it made him feel “unemployable” as a soccer coach. “That was a very real possibility. That wasn’t a throw away line - I was almost unemployable,” he said. “I was wanted more in the media than in the football world. But that is football ... you’re constantly on trial. And I could be back to being unemployable in a couple of years’ time, that is the nature of the beast.” - AAP ap photo

Brockie keen to break his duck By Daniel RichaRDson
England in spotlight
ledger in their favour to book a spot at next year’s World Cup in Brazil. As for his barren run in front of goal for the All Whites, Brockie said he was “very, very desperate” to change it. “I think it’s been 40-odd games now,” he noted. “It’s bugging me a little bit, so if I can get the first one it would be a nice little start and hopefully that lights up the rest of the game.” Westpac Stadium is also a venue where Brockie has produced some of his best work. “I scored a few goals here last season, so it’s not strange territory that I’m going on and it would be very nice to kick one off against Mexico.”
Former Phoenix striker Shane Smeltz, who was known for his free-scoring ways during his time in the capital from 20072009, said he hadn’t been giving Brockie a hard time about his lack of goals, despite the pair sharing some banter at yesterday’s press conferences. “He wants a goal, so as a fellow striker, I don’t give him any stick about that,” Smeltz said. Earlier, Brockie jokingly mentioned that Smeltz’s choice of hair style ensured the Perth Glory marksman was ready to go for tomorrow. “Smeltzy’s got the blond mohawk back and he’s here now so it only means one thing and that’s goals. So we’ll see how we go.” - APNZ
France ‘nervous’ France and Portugal, two of Europe’s soccer heavyweights, face a fraught test of nerves tonight with their places at the 2014 World Cup finals at stake. France, the 1998 world champions, are 2-0 down to Ukraine after the first leg of their playoff ahead of the return in Paris while Portugal, semifinalists in 2006, take a slender 1-0 advantage to Sweden. Greece look well set to make the finals in Brazil as they enjoy a 3-1 lead over Romania, while Iceland - bidding to become the smallest country to reach the World Cup - are 0-0 with Croatia ahead of their trip to Zagreb. - AFP

Fox refinds form Ryan Fox has turned around his fortunes on the PGA Tour of Australasia in one week. The 25-year-old Auckland professional carded a two-over par 73 at Royal Melbourne in the final round of the Australian Masters on Sunday to finish in a share of fifth place in the worldclass field. Fox carded rounds of 68, 71, 66 and 73 for a six-under par total, eight shots back from Australian Adam Scott who defended his title by two strokes from American Matt Kuchar. Fox, who earlier this year won the Jeep Pro Am in Queensland, earned AUS$39,292 after a consistent week at the famed Alister McKenzie layout. He moved to 20th place on the PGA Tour of Australasia Order of Merit with AUS$46,989.63 (NZD $53,000) from 11 events. Fox, who had his dad All Black great Grant Fox on his bag last week, was pleased to contend with some world-class players. “I am really happy,” said the big-hitting Fox. “This week gives me a lot of confidence. You look at the guys in this field and I am right up there with some good names. “I am obviously very happy and can take a bit of confidence from this into the next few weeks.”
Fox said the final round was particularly tough as Royal Melbourne showed its teeth in the hard and fast conditions. Meanwhile, Wellington professional Gareth Paddison, who finished tied sixth at the Australian PGA Championship last week, continued his good form with a four-under par 67 in the final round to finish tied 16th alongside compatriot Michael Hendry. He remains the leading Kiwi on the PGA Tour of Australasia Order of Merit in third position behind Scott and Korean Jin Jeong. Former New Zealand Open champion Michael Long and Mark Brown finished one stroke further back from Paddison and Hendry in a share of 22nd place. In Mexico Tim Wilkinson has recorded his best result on the PGA Tour in the 2013-2014 season. The 34-year-old from Palmerston North recorded a top-10 finish at the OHL Classic at Mayakoba. Wilkinson finished eight shots back from American Harris English. In Japan, David Smail has finished in a share of 42nd place at the Taiheiyo Masters. Smail is 47th on the Japan Tour money list and he needs to finish inside Ryan Fox: Right up with the big the top 70 players to retain his names in the Australian Masters. card for 2014. - APNZ AP PHOTO

YOUR STARS by Forecasters
ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20) Old memories resurface and even when you feel old emotional and physical reactions, you can run them through a reality filter. TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) With the Sun just days away from leaving your work sector, keep your finger on the pulse and ear to the ground, trusting your nose for money. GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) While there may be some work tension today, it’s both a wakeup call and a chance to check that you’re not pushing yourself too hard, too soon. CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) Before life once again gets busy and no matter how many real demands you have on your time, do what you can to embrace a sense of adventure. LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) With financial issues now out in the open, it’s time to put your emotional responses behind you, using past experience as motivation. VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) Having Mercury in your communication sector on a healing day on the relationship front, is a chance to lay some old ghosts to rest. LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) Whatever yesterday’s Full Moon triggered is out in the open and you have a chance to regroup, redefine your bottom lines and move on. SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) Where yesterday’s Full Moon brought any simmering personal and/or relationship tensions to a head you’re now able to give them a voice. SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) There is a reminder of a need to pace yourself and the importance of having the work/life balance. Life is only going to get busier. CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) What is an important day for professional matters is also an important day for communication and for both personal and professional networking. AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) With final hurdles in your professional year behind you, your headlights on full and the handbrake off, the open road is beckoning. PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 20) Where yesterday’s Full Moon gave you a chance to clear the air, this is a day for either giving unsaid words a voice or laying them to rest.

Frances wears first silver fern
guardianonline.co.nz
BY JONATHAN LEASK
JONATHAN.L@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ
Ashburton cyclist Frances Smith gets her first taste of the big time representing New Zealand for the first time at the Oceania Track Championships in Invercargill today. Smith, an Ashburton College student, completed an exam on Thursday and jumped straight in the car to head to Invercargill for a training camp with the rest of the New Zealand junior squad before the championships, which falls in the middle of her NCEA exams. Juggling studies and the bike maybe a precursor of things to come for Smith, who intends to return to Invercargill next year for tertiary study and attend the new cycling academy. But her immediate future is making her international debut in the junior endurance squad today. It will be Smith’s first time riding in the black with the silver fern on her back, while her idol Lauren Ellis gets her first international action since the London Olympics over a year ago. Smith will ride in the junior team pursuit, keirin, points, scratch and individual pursuit. Ellis contested the two-day tier one competition in Invercargill at the weekend, taking out the women’s omnium. The four-day Oceania Championships provides crucial ranking points for February’s UCI World Championships in Cali, Colombia as well as continental titles. There’s a big start to the championships today with the team sprint and team pursuit, featuring Ellis, which for the first time features the women moving to match the men with four riders over 4000m. Previously they competed with three riders over 3000m. Other action includes the time trials for women over 500m and men over 1000m and scratch races, while the under-19 competition includes the omnium and individual pursuit for men while the women will do battle in 500m time trial and scratch race.
Frances Smith is a long-time member of the College cycling team.
