Car theft spree warning

By Erin Tasker Police are warning car owners to keep their vehicles off the roadside at night if possible, as they deal with a spate of stolen cars.

According to Ashburton Police it has been a busy month for car thieves, with nine cars reported unlawfully taken in the first 12 days of the month.

While things had quietened down in recent days, people were being urged not to get complacent and ensure their cars were kept secure where possible.

Ashburton Police intelligence officer Mark Prendergast said cars aged around the 1990s era appeared to have been the target of the recent spate. Most had been stolen from the side of the road and no one particular area of Ashburton had been a target.

Police were keeping an eye on potential suspects.

“We know that we have some young offenders, both juvenile and adult, in town who have a propensity to steal cars and where the opportunity arises we are paying those people our full attention,” Mr Prendergast said.

Neighbourhood Support has also sent out an alert urging residents to be vigilant, and to report

any suspicious behaviour.

They were comments echoed by Mr Prendergast.

“We need people to switch their radars on and if they see suspicious people, they need to give us a ring and we will get down there and see what their intentions are,” Mr Prendergast said.

“We would prefer to do that than deal with another unlawfully taken car.”

People are being urged to take steps to help ensure their own vehicles were kept safe.

“If you don’t have to leave your car on the street, then don’t, but I’m mindful that some people have no other option,” he said.

As well as the unlawfully taken cars, police had also dealt with one report of an unlawfully interfered with car, and one of a theft from a motor vehicle, so far this month.

But on the flip side, burglaries to properties were down – only five so far this month. Mr Prendergast said it was unusual for the number of cars stolen to outnumber the number of burglaries but the low number of burglaries was pleasing heading into the busy Christmas season.

At least three of the nine stolen vehicles are believed to have been recovered.

Members of the Variety Theatre Ashburton are concerned about fading audition numbers to act in their latest show Miss Saigon.

Fading audition numbers hit show

By Myles Hume Variety Theatre Ashburton is calling for locals with acting potential to break out of their shell and audition for new roles.

It comes as the theatre received an underwhelming response for auditions for its show Miss Saigon which is planned to start in May next year.

Auditions begin on December 7 and with eight major roles to fill and up to 30 extras needed, pro-

moter Bridget Danielson is concerned the shortage could hinder their chances of getting the performance off the ground.

She wasn’t sure how many people had applied to audition but she said it was well below where they had predicted.

“Usually this close to auditions we have at least 20 on the books, but we just aren’t quite there,” Ms Danielson said.

“We have lost a lot of young talent, a lot of the young ones in our shows are going off to uni next

year so we now have to wait for a bit of talent to come through.”

The production is about an American solider in the Vietnam War who has a baby with a local woman. He has a partner back home and the woman insists he takes the baby home with him, back to the USA. Ms Danielson said the theatre was looking for anyone aged 15 upward.

She encouraged anyone with a bit of acting talent to come forward, saying their skills would be

By Rebecca Quilliam and Kurt Bayer Timaru police are speaking to a man over the alleged abduction of a 9-year-old boy outside his primary school last week.

South Canterbury Area Commander Inspector Dave Gaskin said the man, in his 20s, was being spoken with by police at Timaru police station last evening.

“He is not a stranger to the child, he is known to the child.”

The man was not related to the boy, Mr Gaskin said.

No charges had been laid against the man, he said.

The boy was found bloodied and distressed by a river some 15km from Oceanview Heights school last Thursday.

Police feared he had been abducted and specialist officers

polished by Australian director David Williams.

“He will bring them out of their shell, he’s a very likeable and lovable director and he will challenge them and teach them,” Ms Danielson said.

Ideally, Ms Danielson said she would like to have applications in by December 1, with auditions kicking off a week later.

To receive an audition pack, contact Variety Theatre Ashburton production secretary Faye Johnstone on 308-8279.

By Sue Newman

“But rest assured we don’t have some random person wandering around Timaru abducting children.”

Last Thursday the boy was seen at 3.15pm on the corner of Luxmoore Rd and Selwyn St. He normally walked home, police said.

He was found at Holme Station Bridge - a 15 minute drive through winding country roads - about 45 minutes later.

Police would not disclose the extent of the boy’s injuries, or say whether a sexual element was involved.

Oceanview Heights school has taken extra safety precautions to make sure their kids get home safely.

Extra teachers were posted at the gates for heightened security yesterday and were talking to anxious parents.

Keeping the Offord Romney stud name alive, Margaret Adams with her late husband Owen’s prize ram that scooped the pool at the Canterbury A&P Show, taking out the supreme ram title.

Owen Adams earned himself a reputation as a stud sheep breeder and judge without equal and that reputation has stayed firmly in place after his death.

Mr Adams died in June, but when this year’s Canterbury A&P Show rolled around his name was still up there at the top of the prize table, thanks to his wife Margaret and daughter Sarah who flew the Offord stud flag for the final time at the show.

His prize ram, number 349, left the competition in no doubt that, with or without the boss, he was still the best Romney around.

The ram represented more than 30 years of Romney breeding by a man who always preferred to stay out of the limelight.

In the weeks before his death, Mr Adams was firmly focused on ensuring his flock was organised

for the show season. The 30 month old ram did him proud, winning the champion ram, best of breed and supreme champion categories. He’s now destined for a new home with Mr Adams’ brother at Greendale.

And dispersal is the fate of the rest of the Offord stud, with two young breeders taking most of his ewes. That’s what their breeder wanted; none of his flock were to go under the hammer, they were to go to people who knew and loved the Romney breed.

The Offord stud at Beach Road was born in 1979 with a handful of sheep bought from Mayfield breeder Ivan Oakley. His reputation quickly built and within two years, the new breeder sold a ram for $11,000.

Success followed success and the flock grew to almost 600.

He was a fourth generation Romney stud breeder and while Sarah might have switched codes to poll dorsets, the Adams name is continuing in the show ring.

Ashburton’s Daniel Pearce will strike his first ball as a professional when he tees off in the New Zealand Open at Clearwater Golf Course in Christchurch.

Pearce has spent the last year working towards turning professional and will make the big step in tomorrow’s first round but he isn’t getting overawed by the occasion.

“It doesn’t change anything.

There isn’t a lot of difference between an amateur and a pro,” Pearce said.

“It’s still just a game of golf and you have to go out there and put a good score on the board.

“But now if I go well I can get paid.”

It will be his first tournament as a professional however Pearce is taking a relaxed approach.

“It’s my first tournament as a pro but I’m really looking forward to the week.

“I’m just looking to go out there and enjoy myself and have some fun which is what it is all about.”

He might be a first time professional player but he has played in professional tournament before including last year’s New Zealand Open at the same venue where Pearce was tied for 62nd, finishing 14 over.

This year he was hoping to be higher up the ladder but was more concerned with enjoying the big occasion that he had worked long and hard for.

Pearce learnt the game on the fairways and greens of the Ashburton Golf Club before having a breakthrough year in 2008 as the then 20-year-old represented New Zealand in the Senior Men’s Trans-Tasman Cup, at the Malaysian Amateur Champs, and the Saujana Amateur Open and was named the Canterbury golfer of the year.

He had hoped to turn professional in 2009 but had to wait another four years for the dream to be realised, which it will finally when he tees off on the first hole tomorrow.

Adams legacy lives on

Abduction police talk to man have been speaking with the boy, who is still in hospital.

While he was “recovering well”, it’s unclear when he would be discharged from Timaru Hospital.

Mr Gaskin thanked the public for information they had provided to the investigating team.

“We’ve had a large amount of information that’s come in and although some people might think that what they’ve come forward with is minor or of no consequence, by they time you piece it all together, it’s been very very helpful.

“A direct result of that is the position we’re in at the moment.”

Mr Gaskin said the small team working on the inquiry had worked very hard and would be very proud of the result they were going to achieve.

He understood that the case was alarming to the public.

Rebuild recruitment drive It was no surprise to Mr Doake that registrations had come in so quickly.

“I think people just want to get out there and work, we have a high unemployment (rate),” he said.

Mr O’Keefe said people would undergo a free six to ten week training programme and receive a living allowance, then be employed in drainage, roading, concreting, or repairs.

“Anyone who can hold a stop/go sign, through to operating machinery, as long as they are prepared to work, that’s what we want,” he said.

They encouraged school students at or above leaving age to pop into the bus, although if they were still in classes to make sure it was in their lunch hour.

Or their parents could call in on their behalf. “I think we are making it easier for people to find a job, we are coming to them,” he said.

And the jobs could be the beginnings of a career for many. They said SKIRT’s general manager, Duncan Gibb, started out his career as a labourer.

The polytech course would give recruits credits towards a level two qualification in infrastructure.

Mr Gibb himself said the work offered by the rebuild would be important and rewarding.

“People moving into this sector will have good income and career prospects with skills that are highly transferable,” he said.

Vehicle damaged in spectacular fire

A vehicle was badly damaged in a spectacular fire in the old Aoraki Polytechnic car park on Cameron Street yesterday morning.

The Ashburton Volunteer Fire Brigade was called just before 9.30am and firefighters could see the black smoke billowing into the air as they made their way to the station.

The vehicle had been parked

in the car park when it caught fire around the engine area, but what exactly caused it to catch fire was as yet unknown.

Ashburton Volunteer Fire Brigade chief fire officer Alan Burgess said there were no suspicious circumstances and the vehicle was likely to be a write-off.

No other vehicles in the car park were damaged.

Bikers spread message

By Erin Tasker A group of motorcyclists will roar into Ashburton to promote an end to violence towards women tomorrow.

They’re the White Ribbon Riders and they’re on a nine-day motorcycle ride in the North and South Islands which is a key White Ribbon project organised by the Families Commission to encourage men to take action and end unacceptable levels of violence towards women.

Donald Napier of the Patriots said last year’s White Ribbon ride was fantastic.

“We can’t wait to get on the road again and continue spreading the message. We know that men want to live non-violent lives but sometimes they need to be shown how. We hope to talk directly to those men who want to stand up and lead a movement of nonviolence,” Mr Napier said.

“If you’re a perpetrator of violence, it’s no walk in the park to make changes to your life. To achieve this you need the support of your mates and your family. No one, especially women and children, should have to experience violence.”

This year the riders will include messages about non-physical violence.

“We’ve been talking about physical violence for a couple of years now and it’s fair to say most men understand how wrong it is to use their fists,” Rob McCann, Families Commission White Ribbon campaign manager said.

“What is less well understood are the effects of non-physical violence.”

“Non-physical violence can leave scars which no one can see, and that affect your whole personality.

“We want men to understand how devastating non-physical violence can be and ensure they do not remain silent when witnessing such behaviour.”

The White Ribbon Riders will arrive at the East Street green at 4pm tomorrow and people will have the opportunity to meet and chat to the riders, as well as check out the bikes.

It’s the start of a busy couple of days of White Ribbon events in Mid Canterbury. Others include a free awareness barbecue on Friday at the East Street chessboard from 11am until 2pm, at which rugby league legend Ruben Wiki will make a special guest appearance and people will be able to sign the White Ribbon pledge.

Wiki will also then be the special guest at a White Tie Dinner at the Hotel Ashburton on Friday night, at which the MC will be former All Black Jock Ross.

Wiki will also hold a workshop with members of the Ashburton Barbarians league team while he’s in town.

Giving blood: Three-year-old Eliza McKenzie watches on as mum Nina gives blood yesterday. A young relative in their family has needed blood, so Nina wanted to give back.

Donors out in numbers

By Sam Morton More than 600 Mid Cantabrians have given their fair share of blood and helped save plenty of lives this year, NZ Blood donor recruiter Dale Maisey says.

The NZ Blood team was in Ashburton yesterday for its last visit of the year – and the response, once again, was fantastic.

Nurse team leader Lisa Scott said she was delighted with the support of Mid Canterbury.

“They are always brilliant – they always turn out and they always help our cause,” she said.

More than 40,000 patients are treated with blood or blood

products in New Zealand every year, but according to statistics – only four per cent of the eligible population donate.

Mrs Maisey and her team are actively trying to lift that figure and communities like Ashburton are doing everything they can to achieve that.

In fact, she believes Ashburton is one of the most proactive areas when it comes to recruiting donors.

“Put it this way, if more centres were like Ashburton, I’d be out of a job,” she laughed.

“We have great business support down there and people are so willing to help ... they are practically lining up to donate, which is brilliant.”

However, she urged new donors to sign up and said it was important the existing

donors did not get complacent. “We always need the new ones and a lot of the time, people will come in and see the place is humming and then think we don’t need them.

“But we do, we really do and we are asking people to come in and donate to a life-saving cause,” Mrs Maisey said.

Every donation can save up to three lives and a total of 3000 donations are required by hospitals every week of the year to meet the high demand.

More than 600 people are registered as active blood donors in Ashburton and on average about 100 units of blood are collected each month from the district. *To give blood, ring 0800 GIVE BLOOD or visit, nzblood. co.nz

Anger over bus route subsidies

By Myles Hume Ashburton parents with children at Mt Hutt College are wondering why they have to fully fund the bus to Methven, while Rakaia parents are offered a cost sharing arrangement.

It comes as a proposal was put to Rakaia parents who were told a month ago their children may no longer have a way to school because of a lapse in Government funding for the bus that transports Rakaia children to and from Mt Hutt College.

Last week, Mt Hutt College sent a letter to Rakaia parents saying the Methven Area Bus Group, which runs the college’s school bus system, was willing to fund a bus to the Transport Entitlement Zone (TEZ) and parents would have to pay the remaining 10km to Rakaia, costing about $800 a year.

However, some Ashburton parents, who pay about $1400 a year per child for a bus to the college, are questioning the move, saying Mt Hutt College should create an even playing field.

However, Mt Hutt principal John Schreurs said it was a valid move, according to his interpretation of a Ministry of Education document.

One Ashburton mother, who wished not to be named, said she was confused as to how the bus could not be partially funded for Ashburton children who caught the bus to Methven.

“I don’t want to upset anybody, but it did make me a bit mad,” she said.

“I understand why they (Rakaia parents) are complaining because it’s a shock, you can understand that, but it comes down to you do it or you don’t. I think they are still

lucky because it’s cheaper.”

Desme Daniels, whose 11-yearold daughter Trinity travels from Tinwald to Mt Hutt College each day, said she did not mind “investing in her child’s learning”, but she wondered why Ashburton parents were not given the same option.

“It’s going to open up a can of worms if they do that, every other parent is going to expect the same deal,” Mrs Daniels said.

Mr Schreurs said there were two points.

The first was Rakaia parents sent their children to the college knowing they would have a funded bus which has now been cut, while Ashburton parents knew from the start they had to pay for a bus.

The second was that since Rakaia was not particularly close to any school, they were eligible for partial funding while Ashburton pupils drove past Ashburton College where there was substantial transport to get to school.

“There may be parents in Ashburton who would like to send their child here but can’t because of that cost,” Mr Schreurs said.

“But if you choose something further away then there’s a cost and that’s no different than a city environment.”

Another Ashburton mother, who also did not want to be named, said it was a reality her Rakaia counterparts had to face, and they may have to relocate to another school if it was not an affordable option.

“It was a choice for our family to send our kids to Mt Hutt College and if they are unable to do that then they may have to relocate,” she said.

Mt Hutt College is still waiting to hear from the Methven Area Bus Group as to whether Rakaia parents have agreed to the proposal.

Crash victim’s name still not released The name of a man killed in a car crash south of Tinwald on Monday is yet to be released by police.

The 58-year-old man from Christchurch was the sole occupant of a four-wheel-five which collided head-on with a stock truck shortly before 4pm on Monday, on State Highway One, just north of the Longbeach Road intersection.

Police said the man’s next of kin were still being notified and his

name would probably be released today.

The road was closed and detours were in place for more than five hours after the crash, as a police photographer and the serious crash unit investigated the cause of the crash.

One of the biggest challenges in clearing the scene was the removal of the stock truck, which ended up in a ditch and was also badly damaged in the crash.

Ashburton County Lions Club members Lilian Wakeline (from left), Trish Campbell, Ngaire Farrell, Valmai McKenzie and Fern Blake sort food into boxes from the Toot 4 Tucker appeal which filled more than 200 banana boxes.

Appeal fills food banks to the brim

By Myles Hume Two of Ashburton’s major food banks are now filled to the brim after Mid Canterbury residents did their part once again for those in need.

About 210 banana boxes were filled with non-perishable food yesterday as part of the 11th Toot 4 Tucker appeal.

Although Monday’s street by street appeal saw cars tooting to remind residents to fill trailers with food, yesterday the boxes were filled and counted at the

Masonic Lodge with the appeal matching last year’s impressive effort.

Ashburton County Lions Club director Barbara Borland, who helped co-ordinate the event, said it was “absolutely incredible” the contribution Ashburton made to the appeal.

She said it was important the community got behind appeal like this, which provides the foundation for the Salvation Army and the St Vincent de Paul Food Banks.

St Vincent de Paul vice-president Paul Thomas said last week

that the appeal usually provided the “backbone” of his food bank that was catering for more people since the population has swelled.

He said the amount of food usually kept the shelves stocked for the coming year.

Baked beans and canned fruit were donation favourites from the community, with packets of pasta and cereal not far behind.

Ms Borland said locals tended to add a couple of extra item to their grocery list to donate to a cause which has become a marquee event in Ashburton.

“Some people do actually save

some food for us and donate it when we come on by,” she said.

Toot 4 Tucker director Fern Blake said the youth involvement this year made a huge difference, with some Ashburton Intermediate pupils helping out with the street appeal, and afterwards with the sorting of the food.

“I can’t believe it, they were here helping until 8pm, so we didn’t have a lot more to do this time,” she said.

The boxes were picked up by the food banks around noon yesterday and put into storage.

• Sudden death Police are investigating the sudden death of a 17-year-old youth who collapsed and died at a Whangarei Warehouse store about 11am yesterday.

A post-mortem examination would be carried in Auckland today, police said.

Walnut Ave traffic lights still planned

By Sue Newman An end to the long queues of traffic at the Walnut Avenue-West Street intersection in Ashburton might be in sight.

Improvement to traffic flows at the intersection and its mirror intersection on East Street, have been on the Ashburton District Council’s radar for several years, but the council has needed a solid commitment from the New Zealand Transport Agency before plans could be developed.

The project might have dipped below the radar, but it definitely hasn’t gone away says council operations manager Rob Rouse, with traffic lights signalled as the

most likely option. He’s continued to raise the issue with the transport agency and hopes to have enough information to allow the council to make decisions on moving ahead with the project by its December 13 meeting.

Discussions on the Walnut Avenue lights had run over several years, but the council had only been told recently that the project could proceed to the design stage.

The council, however, had not made any financial provisions for contributions to the work in its long term plan, Mr Rouse said.

The council believed the project was a state highway project and that work on the intersection was generally for the benefit of state highway traffic, he said.

“It’s also an important project for the council. It’s been a project we’ve had on the drawing board for a while and we’re keen to progress it, but we have to find out what NZTA is expecting of the council before we make a decision.”

Because there would be some work involving local feeder roads and some benefit to local traffic using those roads, Mr Rouse said it was likely there would be an element of local funding required.

If lights were also installed at East Street there could be a significant financial commitment required by the council because those lights did not involve a state highway.

Until the council knew what

the transport agency proposed in terms of planning and funding, it was unable to move ahead, but he anticipates this information will be available by December 13.

While the transport agency’s plans for Walnut Avenue traffic lights were still to be developed, Mr Rouse said that a likely option would be to install lights at both the West and East street intersections with Walnut Avenue. The option of lights at West Street only was also in the planning mix.

“It’s not really our project. We’ll progress it as quickly as we can because we see it as another significant state highway project in Ashburton. Hopefully it will proceed.”

I realise that this association is a recognised group in Ashburton, but shouldn’t the person writing on behalf of the organisation be obliged to have their name published which is a requirement for other correspondents?

places of power such as Council and associated Councillors and employees.

I have always been proud to say I come from Ashburton, not least because over my 60 plus years here, we always had leaders who have been prepared to think “outside the square” regarding the running, and development of the Ashburton district’s infastructure, especially with the continued threat of Central Government intervention into local Government spending.

A

nother Canterbury family is grieving this morning after yet another fatal crash on Mid Canterbury roads.

Monday’s crash just outside Tinwald provided the sixth death on the district’s roads this year and we could be heading for one of the worst statistics in a long time.

Ironically, the district had one of its better years on the roads in 2011 with three fatalities which was a positive change after the eight deaths the previous year that made 2010 the worst in 16 years.

Thankfully, it is nowhere near the horrible totals of 1994 and 1983 when Ashburton lost 15 and 12 souls respectively.

The moment we hear fire engines, police cars and ambulances, we fear the worst.

The moment the Guardian website reports the details of a crash, locals start guessing which family or friend may have been on that stretch of road.

At the time of writing this, the police were still investigating the cause of Monday’s crash but often these incidents are random, and sadly the victims are not always the ones that have actually caused the accidents, which makes it even harder to swallow for grieving relatives.

Every fatal crash though is a stark reminder for those of us who spend many hours on the

they are now.

I thank Brian Lester for his diplomatic input over the time he has been Council CEO, and to Council for keeping Ashburton ahead of competitors by forward thinking and supporting the continued development of infastructure needed in a rapidly growing and popular area to live.

I, for one, will be sorry to see Brian leave earlier than he needed and hope his replacement has the same ability to think for himself and not be influenced by negative people with nothing better to do than using the media for public character assassination.

Ashburton County Lions Club wishes to extend their very sincere appreciation to the members of the public of Ashburton, Hinds and Fairton who so generously donated to our annual Toot for Tucker appeal on Monday evening.

To the large number of volunteers who gave of their time so willingly to drive and collect food on behalf of the two community food banks we thank you.

These included members of other Lions’ Clubs, Ashburton Volunteer Brigade and a number of other service clubs, Rangers, Girl Guides, Brownies, Cadets, banks and local businesses. Thank you to you all.

To the Radio Stations, Property Brokers, local publications a big thank you for the wonderful way you advertised the event for us.

Once again a very big thank you to all those involved for another very successful Toot for Tucker.

road, that life can be snuffed out in a split second and that we can never afford to get complacent behind the wheel.

Too often though, the usual suspects of speed and alcohol play a major part in our road fatalities and increased awareness and change in driving culture could easily drop our death rates.

The roads are getting better and cars are getting safer, which gives many an unwarranted sense of protection, as they are driving their modern, more powerful machines.

The aggressive marketing campaigns with blood splattered all over our television screens seemed to be paying off as the national statistics dropped dramatically from 421 fatalities in 2007 to 284 in 2011.

This year however, the numbers seem to creeping back up, both in the Ashburton district and around the country.

Including Monday’s crash, 258 people died on New Zealand roads in 2012 compared to 242 the same time last year. At this rate, roading authorities and police fear the total number for 2012 could go past 300.

Every life lost is one too many, so let’s hope the major progress by all of us over the past few years will not be wasted.

Shearer in charge; Cunliffe demoted

By Claire Trevett Labour MP David Cunliffe has been stripped of his front bench position and his portfolios.

Labour leader David Shearer announced the demotion after he secured a unanimous endorsement from his caucus at an urgent meeting yesterday afternoon.

Mr Shearer said Mr Cunliffe was unable to show loyalty.

“His actions at the weekend were disappointing not only to me but to many party members. That, along with his repeated failure to quell speculation about the leadership, means that I no longer have confidence in him.”

He said there was a “robust discussion” in caucus and it was possible Mr Cunliffe could return to the front bench if he proved his loyalty.

“I regret having to take the action I have today but he has left me with no alternative.”

The meeting followed the party’s annual conference over the weekend at which Mr

David Shearer - still in Labour leader for now

David Cunliffe - banished to the back benches.

Cunliffe repeatedly refused to rule out a challenge to Mr Shearer. Mr Cunliffe later said he would endorse Mr Shearer but would not commit to that when Mr Shearer faces a formal confidence vote in February.

That vote will be held under new party rules which allow 40 per cent of caucus to force a leadership contest by refusing to endorse him.

Mr Cunliffe avoided waiting media when he arrived at

Parliament but waved quickly as he entered the caucus room.

Several MPs have been openly angry about Mr Cunliffe’s behaviour at the conference, saying he had openly undermined both Mr Shearer and former leader Phil Goff. However his allies have argued that no leadership challenge was planned.

Mr Cunliffe’s wife Karen answered his phone after the meeting and said he would

not be commenting.

“He has said that caucus has resolved that the only person able to speak on this is the leader, so David Cunliffe is not at liberty to comment.”

Mana MP Kris Faafoi said he was pleased Mr Shearer had been fully endorsed by caucus.

“It’s time to get on with it, and I think people want us to get on with it - we should get on with it and it’s been dealt with.”

He said he did not have any advice for Mr Cunliffe.

Fellow MP Sue Moroney would not comment.

Mr Cunliffe posted an online message last evening which read: “Thank you to the hundreds of social media friends who have messaged in friendship and support in recent days. I wish I could express my gratitude for your kindness and my wish that we all might work together for a better New Zealand. Unfortunately I am not at liberty to comment further at this time.”

Hugh’s first salmon a whopper There’s been some good fishing at the Rangitata River Mouth recently, as an eight-year-old boy from Rangiora found out on Sunday. Hugh Tobeck (above) with the 16 pound salmon he caught at the mouth – the first salmon he’s caught and he did it with the help of his dad, Leigh. Hugh couldn’t wait to get back to Southbrook School on Monday to tell his mates about the catch.

Imitation gun sparks AOS call-out the street. The area was cordoned off and police attempted to negotiate for the people inside to come out.

Wellington police tactical response manager Inspector Terry van Dillen said a young man in his 20s walked out about 6.30pm.

“As a result of that we’ve made some further inquiries and located the other person, down the road in another house.

“So we’ve picked those two young fellows up and we’ve brought them back to the station here to have a chat to

them.” The second man was also believed to be in his 20s, Mr van Dillen said.

Police searched the property and discovered an imitation firearm gun.

It was too early to know if charges would be laid against the two men, he said. -APNZ

Claims of cruelty rejected Sir Peter Jackson has offered to open up his books to the SPCA over the deaths of animals during the filming of The Hobbit amid an international storm over mistreatment claims by former wranglers.

And a source close to the film says Sir Peter has “nothing to hide” and the allegations are a bid to tarnish next week’s premiere by embittered former employees.

Four wranglers who worked at the Wellington farm where The Hobbit’s animals were housed were quoted in international media this week as saying the property was unsuitable and animals had been mistreated and neglected.

Johnny Smythe said he was fired after raising concerns about the treatment of the animals.

On November 6 the SPCA, received an anonymous letter alleging animals had been mistreated at the farm between January and August 2011. They alerted Sir Peter and the American Humane Association, who oversee animal welfare on films, and sent an SPCA inspector to the farm.

“There wasn’t anything in the allegations,” said SPCA spokeswoman Robyn Kippenberger.

“This is certainly not about the animals. If it had been about the animals someone would have come to us when it was happening, not months later. No one did. “ A wrangler who spoke on the condition of anonymity said the animals at the farm were treated “pretty well”.

He worked there for over a year alongside Mr Smythe and others making similar claims.

“I didn’t see any animals being

badly treated. The vet was always there straight away when needed, they had plenty of food and they were looked after really well,” he said.

“I don’t know where (Mr Smythe) is coming from. I have seen what Peter Jackson has said about it and I support him.”

The allegations prompted animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals to organise protests at premieres of The Hobbit around the world.

The vet used by Sir Peter and the owner of the farm issued statements of support last night.

“We were consulted promptly in cases of injury and illness.

We were also consulted routinely about ongoing veterinary care and preventative medicine,” said vet Julia Bryce.

“Animals received the best available treatment to ensure their recovery, their welfare and return to good health was paramount to those in charge. At no time were we concerned about the welfare and ongoing treatment of animals under our care.”

Farm owner Joy Gray was “appalled” to hear about the claims. “[We] saw nothing to make us uncomfortable or give us cause for concern. In fact, the animals were wonderfully looked after, being well-fed, well-housed, and well-treated. As both farmers and dedicated horse people ourselves we would have stood for nothing less. The sixty horses, the cattle, oxen, sheep, goats, dogs, pigs, hens etc. were given professional and humane treatment.”

Well known Mid Canterbury artist Karen Smith’s exhibition, Elements of the South, is at the Short Street Studio this week.

Capturing the elements on canvas

By Susan Sandys Methven artist Karen Smith has based herself in Ashburton this week, at the Short Street Studio.

The mum-of-three is painting in between visitors popping in to see her exhibition, Elements of the South.

“I like to be busy,” she said.

Elements of the South opened on Friday night, and about 50 people attended. This week it is running from 10am to 5.30pm daily until it closes on Saturday.

Mrs Smith has been painting

in oils for about 12 years. She is originally from Western Australia and has been in New Zealand for about 22 years. She said while she paints mainly South Island scenery, “Australian colours”, such as a “sunburned country” yellow, featured in her landscapes.

Elements of the South features mainly stormy scenes, and New Zealand skies were completely different from Australian skies, she said.

One painting in Elements of the South was of a scene she witnessed as recently as four weeks ago, of dark clouds breaking and sunlight illuminating the top of a paddock of wheat.

Education officials have contacted Mayfair School after a gas canister exploded and injured a parent on the school grounds yesterday.

The woman, believed to be a 35-year-old parent, was taken to Hawkes Bay Hospital with moderate burn injuries to her shoulder, neck and arms.

A Ministry of Education spokesman said it was “always concerned to hear of accidents at schools” and would be available to offer its support if needed.

The school was believed to be conducting a camping exercise when the cooker exploded about 12.30pm. No students were hurt and they were seen enjoying their lunch break while emergency services worked at the school grounds. Two fire appliances and an ambulance attended.

Police were called but were not required.

Napier Fire Station senior station officer Bryan Dunphy said the cause of the explosion would be investigated.

“We’re just going to investigate it to make sure there’s not something wrong with the product - whether it’s the operator, or what,” he said.

The fire investigator dealing with it could not comment while the investigation was still under way. Mayfair School board of trustees chairman Kieran Horsefield said he could not comment much more than what had already been reported.

“The investigation is under way, as to what happened and how it happened.

“We have had lengthy meetings with the fire service today about the matter.”

Mr Horsefield said any measures for the board to consider putting in place to make sure a similar incident doesn’t occur again would form part of the investigation.

He said he wanted to reassure parents and the public that the school was still a safe place for their children.

Fonterra Cooperative Group lacks pricing power over its dairy commodities, generates low returns compared to its multinational peers, and investors won’t know the price they are paying until after the bookbuild process is completed on November 27.

The float has an indicative price range of between $4.60 and $5.50 per unit, though Fonterra has discretion to price it above that range.

Morningstar estimates fair value at $5.50 per unit. Institutional investors report demand for the units has been heavy and scaling of applications is anticipated in order to meet demand.

“Our main concern is that prospective investors won’t know the price they are paying and quantity of shares they would be receiving until after the bookbuild process is completed,” analyst Nachi Moghe said in his report.

“As a result of this uncertainty, we would advocate investors wait for the units to list on the market and consider buying at a price below $4.95 per unit.”

Unit holders in the fund will get the rights to Fonterra’s share dividends without owning the shares or holding voting rights. The change will substantially reduce the share redemption

risk on Fonterra’s own books, which has billowed to more than $700 million in recent years, by giving farmers a venue to trade the shares among themselves.

Fonterra’s main risks come from movements in global dairy prices, exchange rates and New Zealand’s milk supply, Moghe said.

A reliance on whole milk and skim milk powder and a lack of branded products means the dairy exporter has smaller margins than its global competitors. It will probably face “significant competition from companies like Nestle and Danone” as Fonterra

moves to sell more higher-value products, Moghe said.

“Multi-national food companies on the other hand have well diversified operations in relation to sales and raw material procurement. They also mainly sell branded products which enjoy better pricing power than commodity products,” he said.

“As a result we think the valuation discount is warranted,” Moghe said.

Pricing and allocations are expected to be announced after the bookbuild on Nov. 27, with the units set to list on the NZX on November 30 and on the ASX on December 5.

Fletcher sees earnings growth of up to 22%

By Paul McBeth Fletcher Building, the biggest company on the NZX, expects operating earnings to grow by as much as 22 per cent in the 2013 financial year as new home construction accelerates and the firm keeps a lid on costs. The shares rose to $7.65, their highest level since October last year.

The Auckland-based company sees operating earnings of between $560 million and $610 million in the year ending June 30, 2013, chairman Ralph Waters told shareholders at their annual meeting yesterday. That includes a $20 million restructuring cost, and would be between 12 per cent and 22 per cent higher than the 2012 result.

Fletcher restated its 2012 earnings to include a $54 million restructuring cost, which it plans to treat as a normal expense item in the future.

“The board believe that this is achievable, on the basis of the momentum seen in New Zealand recently, which is expected to continue for the whole of the year,” Waters said in speech notes published on the NZX. “Any further deterioration in the Australian market in particular, or in other key markets in which Formica operates, may necessitate a revision to this guidance,” he said.

The shares rose 3.7 per cent to $7.65, and have rallied 21 per cent this year.

Fletcher has rejigged its business and executive team since the recent departure of chief executive Jonathan Ling,

restructuring its steel business and expanding its Indian laminates unit.

Waters said New Zealand’s residential housing activity has improved, with activity in Canterbury and Auckland leading the way, though work elsewhere has been limited and commercial work remains subdued.

The Australian market is continuing to show a decline in new housing consents, and Waters said the company’s doesn’t believe lower interest rates will be enough to “significantly improve consumer confidence in the short-term”.

New home building in the US has improved, though parts of Europe remain difficult, he said.

Chief executive Mark Adamson told shareholders Fletcher will continue to look at international investment opportunities, particularly in Australia, and is building on measures to remove costs.

He flagged logistics and distribution as an area in need of cost-cutting, which may see shared retail outlets and regional distribution centres, and site closures.

Other ways to reduce costs included the creation of global hubs for procurement, logistics and distribution, manufacturing excellence, digital technologies and business services, and sharing administrative functions such as finance, human resources and IT, Adamson said.

Fletcher will invest in its digital capability to open up new and cheaper communication lines with customers, he said.

A2 Corp in talks with NZX

By Paul McBeth A2 Corp, which markets milk products with a protein variant claimed to have health benefits, is in talks with the New Zealand Stock Exchange about shifting its listing on the main board.

The company, currently listed on the alternative market, qualifies for listing on the NZX main board, and managing director Geoffrey Babidge says that is a more recognised mar-

ket and can provide better transparency and investor protection, according to a presentation at yesterday’s annual meeting.

“A move to the NZX main board may provide greater liquidity and increase access to capital,” Babidge said. “To this end, the company has commenced discussions with NZX regarding a move to the NZX main board.”

Last month, the company completed a six-month strategic review and has embarked on plans to take

control of its New Zealand marketing and accelerate its global expansion.

A2 recently entered into a Chinese distribution arrangement with China State Farm Holding Shanghai Company, a subsidiary of stateowned China National Agriculture Development Group Corp, as the exclusive distributor of its A2 brand infant formula.

The shares were unchanged at 65 cents, having surged 154 per cent this year. That values the company at $393 million.

The EU recognises new Syrian coalition European Union foreign ministers have dealt a new blow to President Bashar al-Assad’s regime, saying they view Syria’s just-formed National Coalition “legitimate representatives” of Syria’s people.

A statement issued by the bloc’s 27 ministers yesterday after a day of talks welcomed the November 11 formation of the National Coalition for Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces.

“The EU considers them legitimate representatives of the aspirations of the Syrian people.

This agreement represents a major step towards the necessary unity of the Syrian opposition,” it said.

France, which last week became the first Western country to recognise the coalition as sole representative of the Syrian people, had urged fellow EU nations to follow in its footsteps.

Italy joined France yesterday in full recognition of the group, with Britain expected to clarify its position in a parliamentary debate today.

The National Coalition was formed in Qatar after 20 months of conflict that activists say has

killed more than 39,000 people.

French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said at the close of the meeting that all his EU counterparts had expressed “much sympathy vis-a-vis the coalition”.

“I think we will invite the coalition leaders to our next meeting (in December) to allow them to talk to all of the foreign ministers, which will be highly symbolic,” Fabius said.

But as clashes raged across Syria, the main Islamist groups in the northern city of Aleppo, a key frontline in the civil war, said they rejected the National Coalition.

“We, the fighting squads of Aleppo city and province, unanimously reject the conspiratorial project called the National Coalition and announce our consensus to establish an Islamic state” in Syria, a spokesman said in an internet video.

“We reject any external coalitions or councils imposed on us at home from any party whatsoever,” said the unidentified speaker, who sat at the head of a long conference table with at least 30 other men and a black Islamist flag behind him. – AFP

Catherine Kerr-Vignale of France’ SACEM said said Google’s rivals, such as Amazon and Apple’s iTunes, have country-by-country licensing agreements.

Hindu devotees take part in worship on the banks of the River Ganges river during Chhath festival in Patna, India, yesterday. According to local news reports, a bridge made of bamboo collapsed tripping electrical wires when devotees were returning after offering prayers to the setting sun.

18 die in Hindu festival stampede At least 18 people have died and more than a dozen are injured following the collapse of a bridge that triggered a stampede during a Hindu festival in the eastern Indian city of Patna, officials say.

“Bodies of the 18 people killed in the stampede have been sent to the hospital for autopsies,” Jayant Kant, a police superintendent in Patna told AFP. Kant said the stampede occurred when a makeshift

bridge erected to help people reach the Ganges river gave way under the weight of devotees rushing to offer prayers to the setting sun as part of an annual Hindu religious ritual.

Most of the casualties are thought to be the result of the stampede and not the collapse of the low-slung bamboo-and-rope bridge designed to help worshippers cross rough terrain.

“Ten women and eight children are among those killed,”

the police officer said, adding the toll was likely to go up as several other Hindu devotees were reported missing at the site.

Television stations showed ambulances with sirens wailing ferry worshippers to various city hospitals, while Sanjay Kumar Singh, a city administrator, said power darkness at the site made rescue efforts more difficult.

“When the bridge collapsed, power cables strung on it snapped and lights went off and

US works behind scenes to end Israel-Hamas warfare

Birzeit University students take cover behind the university’s sign as they protest against Israel’s military action on the Gaza Strip in Birzeit, yesterday.

As the Gaza death toll hit the 107 mark yesterday, the Obama administration worked hard behind the scenes to end almost a week of warfare between Israel and Hamas, pressing America’s Arab and European allies to convince Palestinian militant groups to cease firing rockets from the Gaza Strip into the Jewish state.

On a diplomatic tour of Asia, President Barack Obama called Egyptian President Mohammad Morsi and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss ways to halt the violence.

Obama underscored that the onus was on Hamas to stop shooting rockets at Israel on a day when at least 95 were fired off, bringing the total to over 1000 in the current round of fighting. At least 100

Palestinians and three Israelis have been killed since last week.

Travelling with the president from Myanmar to Cambodia yesterday, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton spoke by telephone with the foreign ministers of France, Qatar and Turkey.

She also sought to advance efforts to de-escalate tensions in calls with UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and Egypt’s prime minister, who visited Gaza last week.

None of the diplomacy has had a significant effect yet. Israel and Hamas say they are open to diplomatic mediation efforts being led by Egypt, but they are far apart in their demands. And they say they’re prepared for further escalation. Israeli aircraft struck crowded areas in Gaza and killed a senior militant

with a missile strike on a media centre yesterday, broadening its targets in an offensive meant to quell Hamas. Yet rocket fire from Gaza by Hamas and other militant groups showed no sign of being snuffed out.

Washington is limited in what it can do diplomatically.

The Obama administration has firmly supported Israel’s right to self-defence, saying only that the US ally should seek to avoid civilian casualties. And the US can only hope to exert influence over Hamas by proxy, because it considers the group a terrorist organisation and doesn’t allow contacts between its members and American officials.

For that reason, it is relying on countries such as Egypt, Turkey and Qatar to deliver its message to Gaza’s rulers.

in the darkness people scrambled, which triggered the stampede,” Singh told AFP. Patna is capital of the eastern Indian state of Bihar, where the annual Chhath festival dedicated to the Hindu Sun God is popular.

An estimated 400,000 Hindu devotees thronged upto 65 riverside locations specially prepared by state authorities to cater to worshippers travelling to the Ganges, which is revered by Hindus as holy.

Prince William has topped a royal popularity poll in Britain, firing speculation that he should take the throne ahead of his father Charles. Prince William William, 30, was mentioned by 62 per cent of respondents asked to name their favourite Windsor family members in a survey conducted by King’s College London/Ipsos MORI, and published by the Evening Standard newspaper yesterday.

It is the highest approval rating the well-respected questionnaire has produced for a royal since 1984, with RAF rescue helicopter pilot William out-polling even the Queen, 86.

f you’re a broad bean fan you’ll be celebrating as the first of the seasons produce is ready to eat in gardens around the Ashburton District; if you’re not, you’ll be wondering what all the fuss is about.

Broad beans have received such bad publicity as one of the country’s most hated vegetables.

And who wouldn’t dislike those beans when they’re left until they’re old and hard before being boiled to within an inch of their lives.

The end result is a grey blob on the plate that inevitably ends up in the compost bin.

Treat broad beans with respect, cook them young, be adventurous and you’ll change your mind.

Broad beans will zoom to the top of your favourite vege list.

Broad beans with mustard vinaigrette

500 g fresh podded broad beans 100g pancetta (or streaky bacon), chopped 3 T extra virgin olive oil 1T red wine vinegar 2 T Dijon mustard Salt and black pepper Chopped basil leaves 3 handfuls rocket or young spinach leaves for serving

• Steam or blanch the broad beans fairly briefly so they are still firm but no longer raw.

• Lay on kitchen paper or a tea towel to dry.

• Fry pancetta in a very little olive oil until crisp.

• Mix beans and pancetta.

• Make the vinaigrette with the remaining ingredients.

• Mix with the still-warm beans and pancetta.

• Serve on a bed of rocket with chopped basil leaves sprinkled over.

Broad bean hummus

ARIES (Mar 21st Apr 20th) Uranus in your sign for the last nineteen months has been involved in a very challenging Square with Pluto for some time. But today, it also clashes with Mars and will do so through to the 27th of this month. What does this mean? Well, you may find yourself feeling particularly restless, and may find any kind of authority very hard to take.

MARKETING

TAURUS (Apr 21st May 21st) If you have been finding a romantic partnership heavy going, you may find your mind wandering. There is even the possibility of a secret attraction or involvement developing in the next week.

Someone from your past can also come to mind, giving you a tingle of excitement.

Charm can get you everywhere, but also into the wrong type of clinch.

GEMINI (May 22nd Jun 21st) However much you like someone, or if you are in a love partnership, you do have a need to breathe.

And if the situation is too full on, possessive or controlling, even in subtle ways, you can find yourself feeling a sense of injustice. If you feel too stifled like this, it could also see you develop a huge sense of frustration.

If so, lay down clear boundaries.

CANCER (Jun 22nd - Jul 23rd) The chances are your work or professional situation has been very unsettled in the last couple of years.

And if it seems that a boss, company or organisation you work for keep changing the ground rules, you may find yourself embroiled in a testy standoff. You will want to feel recognised and appreciated. If you feel taken for granted, the stakes can ramp up.

LEO (Jul 24th - Aug 23rd) For some time, balancing duty and obligation with your desire to be a free spirit has been proving really quite tough.

If you have been actively trying to find some solutions, perhaps through greater delegation or getting others to take a fairer share of the domestic or professional burden, great. If not, you must really take this seriously now.

Option: Add sundried tomatoes, feta cheese and olives to the pita bread too.

Who do you talk to for the best marketing campaign to achieve your highest price?

VIRGO (Aug 24th Sep 23rd) If you’re working on any kind of creative project, be it a hobby or professionally, be conscious that someone may be harbouring a serious amount of jealousy towards you, particularly if a lot of acclaim or recognition is coming your way. However, the surprise can be just who this is, and it may not be the first person that comes to mind. Be watchful.

LIBRA (Sep 24th Oct 23rd) You can be one of the most self-depreciating of the zodiac signs but if your ability to be accommodating towards others has led to one person becoming almost blithely unaware of your needs whilst taking you for granted about theirs, then you may figure that a more robust approach is now necessary. This may cause ructions but greater respect will ensue.

SCORPIO (Oct 24th - Nov 22nd) Your co-rulers Mars and Pluto are set to have an enormous influence on the heavens from now until the end of the month.

And the way in which they can affect you is all around the way in which you express yourself, your beliefs and your ideas. You can often be blunt, but be prepared, because others may be about to be blunt to you in return.

When his wife was diagnosed with breast cancer, writer Peter Calder found his world turned upside down. Now he’s looking for men who’ve been through the same experience to tell him their stories.

Men – tell your tales of living with cancer T

he months after Alison discovered she had breast cancer were hell for her: surgery, radiation, chemotherapy and repeated hospitalisations with intractable infections turned the best part of a year into a bad dream.

What I remember clearly was the almost trance-like nature of my life at that time: helpless, hopeless, desperate for comfort that no-one seemed able to give, but needing to be strong for her.

Occasionally, one of my wife’s friends would say to me: “And what about you? How are you bearing up?” Some even gave me chocolates. But mostly I felt irrelevant and lost.

I am fortunate that I have a good bunch of mates I can sound off to when I’m feeling down, but none of them has a partner who’s had breast cancer. It felt like no-one really knew what it was like for me.

Four years on, Alison is well, but that sense of helplessness lingers. What happens to her intensely concerns me, but there is nothing I can do to influence it, and that is a hard thing for a bloke to accept.

All the time she was in treatment, I was keenly aware that enormous resources are poured into supporting women with breast cancer, but their menfolk hover, confused, isolated and mostly forgotten in the wings – finding parking places, making tea and putting wellwishers’ flowers in vases.

Slowly from that predicament has emerged a project: a book in which I want to record the experiences of the men – mainly partners and husbands, but also sons and

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23rd - Dec 21st) What you think you are worth can be quite a theme from now until the middle of next month. Now, this can be reflected over your stance towards money and any bargaining that goes on, but equally it can relate to your self-esteem. The old maxim of earning rather than demanding respect may be something you should bear in mind Archer.

fathers and brothers – whose lives are affected by the breast cancer that has struck a woman in their lives.

I am conscious that not all women with breast cancer have male partners, but I determined from the beginning that this will be a book for men, and by men.

The book, published by the New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation, will be made freely available to men who want it. But what’s still missing is the most important ingredient: the men whose stories I can tell. If you are such a man – or you know one – I’d really love to hear from you.

“It’s why more people are choosing McGregors”

CAPRICORN (Dec 22nd - Jan 20th) No doubt about it, you are being giving a wonderful burst of energy from Mars’ newly established residency in your sign. But this is also the planet of ego, and whilst you may be relishing the extra confidence that it is giving you, there is a thin line between feeling better about yourself and riding roughshod over the feelings and rights of others. Proceed with caution.

AQUARIUS (Jan 21st - Feb 19th) You have many sides to your nature, and one of them in the past was to be very outspoken. Neptune gently finessed and softened this for some years. But even so, if something requires you to speak out and show your more radical tendencies, then you will. And if an injustice has been long left unresolved, it may be about to burst back into life.

PISCES (Feb 20th Mar 20th) Have you been too passive around one situation or person? If so, in order to ensure the esteem of this peer, might you have been blunting your own needs, identity and drive? In the next week you can find yourself keener to cast off the shackles and show the authentic side of your persona. If you can, it’ll be one of the best things you ever do.

These Jokers put on a top show Left: John Wells is just one of Ashburton’s Jokers putting in the hours to make his bike a visual treat for spectators and judges alike at the Jokers Social Club’s 11th Ashburton Bike Show

By Bernard Egan MOTORING AND OTHER VITAL ISSUES

Below: Attention to detail is what John hopes will be enough to score the big prize, and his longstanding interest in classic bikes should stand him in good stead.

It’s mid-week, so it’s time to start finalising plans for the weekend.

And a must see thing this weekend is the Jokers Social Club 11th Ashburton Bike Show.

It’s on at the Ashburton Racecourse, and will be open to the public between 10am and 6 pm on Saturday.

There’ll be over 100 motorcycles on display, all sorts and styles but all with some things in common.

Each one is their owner’s pride and joy, they are all interesting and the bikes all look fantastic.

They will all be well worth seeing.

Combine that with interesting displays and trade stalls and you have something of interest for everyone.

Right from the start the Jokers Motorcycle Shows have been winners.

The Jokers really know how to stage an event and because they are renowned locally, throughout the country and internationally

their shows are superb and well worth seeing.

And the people who are there, organisers and exhibitors alike are always willing to talk about their bikes and share their enthusiasm for riding.

Local motorcycling enthusiast John Wells can’t wait for the Ashburton Bike Show this weekend.

John has always owned motorcycles, and has a particular interest in classic bikes.

Over the years he has owned a few.

He has exhibited at previous Bike Shows but for the first time this year he has entered more than one bike.

This time he has gone all out and entered five of his BSAs. The oldest model entered by John is a 1950 single cylinder and the youngest is a 1967 Lightning.

He’ll also be exhibiting two Gold Flash models and a Star.

All five have been entered in the Classic section of the show.

John thinks the show provides a great opportunity for riders to display their bikes, and for spectators to see a whole range of interesting motorcycles and other exhibits.

And even though he’s been burning a fair bit of midnight oil getting his machines ready, John says it’s enjoyable and well worth the effort.

Like other entrants John will be vying for a prize.

A wide range of categories adds to the interest.

There is also a chance for spectators to vote for their favourite in the people’s choice category.

And because John Wells and lots of other enthusiasts are going all out to make sure their bikes look really good we can look forward to a really great Motorcycle Show this Saturday, thanks of course to the Jokers Social Club who make it all possible.

Ferrari upset F1 rivals Ferrari’s chief opponents in this year’s fight for the Formula One drivers’ championship had no serious objections to the Italians’ pragmatic decision to incurr a deliberate gearbox penalty for Felipe Massa ahead of last Monday’s United States Grand Prix.

Briton Lewis Hamilton won the race for McLaren ahead of defending champion and current series leader Sebatian Vettel of Red Bull with Fernando Alonso finishing third for Ferrari, thanks largely to starting from seventh on the grid after qualifying ninth.

His promotion was due to the fiveplace grid penalties given to both Frenchman Romain Grosjean of Lotus and, on Monday morning, Brazilian Massa for gearbox irregularities - in the latter’s case a deliberate breaking of his gearbox seal to incur a penalty.

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner said: “It is within the regulations, and it was a tactical move.

“They obviously made that decision to get Fernando on to the right hand side of the grid and today it worked well for them.”

When asked if Red Bull considered

doing something similar for Mark Webber, which would have put Alonso back on to the dirty side of the grid, Horner replied: “Well then someone else would do it, and before you know it Fernando would start on the front row.

“We never considered it.”

The Maranello-based outfit was concerned about having Alonso start on the slippery left side.

Their decision enabled the switch of Alonso to the clean side and cruise round the outside of the field to take fourth place in the first corner.

His podium finish kept alive his dream of a third Formula One drivers title, and took the championship down to the wire in Brazil where he has to overhaul a 13-points deficit on Monday.

The move led to some questions about sporting ethics.

McLaren chief Martin Whitmarsh, unaffected by the move, said Ferrari’s tactic was exactly the kind of policy that his outfit was reluctant to use - and was the cause of Alonso’s displeasure during their ill-fated 2007 season together.

“Teams and team principals can decide how they run their programs.

“It was tough, but it is very clear

4WD tyres designed by an American racing legend Mickey Thompson, the motor racing legend, holds more racing records than anyone on Earth. Now his revolutionary 4WD tyres allow you to become “part of the legend”.

The switch to offroad Then, in 1969, Mickey made the switch to offroad racing. Together, Mickey and business partner Gene McMannis built leading technology bias-belted offroad racing tyres that, in 1982 at the age of

53, helped Mickey set a new record time to win the one big race that had always eluded him, the most gruelling offroad race of them all, the Baja 1000.

Hall of Fame In 1990, Mickey was inducted in to

the International Motorsports Hall of Fame for his contribution to motorsport as a racer and innovator.

Today’s 4WD tyres The 4WD tyres available today feature many of the innovations that Mickey designed in his racing tyres.

Today, 49 years later, Mickey Thompson’s serious offroad tread designs and carcass constructions continue to be a leader in tyre innovation.

inning races in record times was the driving force behind Mickey Thompson’s innovations in tyre design. His tyres helped him become the fastest man on earth by travelling at 406.6 mph (650.56 kph) and go on to set 485 speed and endurance records in many forms of motorsport, more than any man on earth.

Tyres leading the way in Formula One racing today In 1963, Mickey’s revolutionary tyres created havoc.

Most tyres running then used a narrow tread with a hard rubber compound. Mickey’s tyres were made from a soft compound three times the width with a lower profile giving more stability and a lower centre of gravity. This innovation made Mickey’s new cars so fast they were almost banned but paved the way for the tyres you see in Indy car and Formula One racing today.

that they are very focused on Fernando.

“I think the toughest thing is that it put a number of people onto the slow side of the grid.

“If I had qualified on to the right side of the race grid and that had put me on to the slow side, then I would really have been very pissed off.”

Ferrari chief Stefano Domenicali had no doubts about ethics.

“I prefer to be totally transparent, because with something like that you can easily simulate something if you want, but I felt it was more correct to say the truth.

“This is our style, my style.

“When you work for the Ferrari team you know that the team is the centre of the decisions and the drivers respect it.

“I have to thank Felipe for that.”

One of the affected teams, Force India, was firmly behind Domenicali.

“At the end of the day the regulations are what they are, Ferrari took them to the limit, and that’s what we do in Formula One,” deputy principal Bob Fernley told Press Association Sport.

“I would absolutely have done the same. “We’re not here to try to make friends, we’re here to win.” - AFP-PA

Half-time with . . .

• Origin switch angers Wally Lewis has accused the Queensland government of not doing enough to keep two games in Brisbane for next year’s State of Origin series. The ARL Commission announced a five-year schedule for the three-match Origin series with Queensland to host two home matches in 2014 and 2017 and NSW to have two in 2013 and 2016. Lewis, who played 31 Origins and won a record eight man-of-the-match awards, questioned how hard the Queensland Government had fought to hang onto its two games in 2013.

“Look, anybody that doesn’t fight hard hard to maintain a bit of loyalty and support for Queensland, I don’t believe they’re real Queenslanders,” Lewis said.

Darren Turner

Darren Turner won the Lowry Cup on Sunday, the prestigious Mid Canterbury men’s singles tournament.

Turner is new to the greens of Mid Canterbury, moving up from Southland 17 months ago. He answers a few questions for the Guardian.

Is the Lowry Cup your first big win on the greens?

Yes but I have come close before in Southland. I was with a team of four juniors and we knocked over some of the big guns but fell just short at the end.

How did you get into bowls?

I played indoor bowls for years and a mate asked me if I played outdoors. I wasn’t really keen on the whites and told him that and he took me along and showed me that a lot of the clubs had coloured uniforms and so I signed up.

I started out at Georgetown in Invercargill and then moved to Waverly before coming up here to Allenton last year.

Have you found much of a difference in the way Mid Canterbury greens and bowlers play?

It’s a lot quicker and the players aren’t afraid of having a poke at you whereas in Southland it’s all draw, draw, draw.

Who is the best bowler you have come across?

Down south it was a guy by the name of John Flynn but in Mid Canterbury it would Bruce White, he’s just Mr Consistent.

What clubs have you previously played for?

als or superstitions?

I try to wear the same sort of stuff every time so I’m a bit superstitious, but I also have a basic pre-game routine I’ve been working on that is helping me a lot.

You use a set of blue bowls, was it a big decision to move away from the tradition black?

Like any and probably all bowlers I started out with a crusty old black set while I learnt the game, and then when I bought my first set I went with red and then moved onto the blue ones which I’ve had for probably four months.

What do you do for a job?

I drive a concrete truck for ACL which I’ve been doing for about a

Do you have any pre-match ritu-

month, but I’ve been in the industry for 10 years driving trucks.

What is the last book you’ve read, movie you watched and favourite song?

The Turf Digest, Ted, I’m a big fan of Green Day.

• Coach wants Cooper

If you could only eat one thing, what would it be?

Chicken. I have it often and with almost anything.

If you were down to your last $20, what would you do with it?

I’d probably give it to my parents honestly. They helped me out a lot over the years and I probably owe them.

Phoenix keen on Beckham signing

By Michael Brown He has played in Wellington once before and the Phoenix are investigating whether David Beckham might be keen to do so again after expressing interest in luring the global phenomenon and sometime footballer to play in the capital.

Football Federation Australia indicated last week they were keen on enticing Beckham to a guest stint in the A-League.

While Beckham seemed to pour cold water on the idea when he said it was news to him, the idea may not be so fanciful now that the 37-year-old has indicated next month’s MLS Cup final will be his last for the LA Galaxy after six years playing in the US. “I’ve had an incredibly special time playing for the LA Galaxy,” Left: David Beckham has indicated he wants to move on after six years playing for the LA Galaxy in the States. photo ap

Beckham said in a statement.

“However, I wanted to experience one last challenge before the end of my playing career.”

The FFA will hope that’s in the A-League.

They recently contacted all 10 clubs to see who was interested in Beckham and Phoenix chief executive David Dome reported they were keen to pursue the idea.

The FFA will approach Beckham’s people on the clubs’ behalf.

“If there’s some interest from inside the Beckham camp, the FFA will work with the clubs where the best fit will be,” Dome said.

“We haven’t ruled out going after any player anywhere.

“What we have ruled out is bringing in a marquee for the sake of it.”

Beckham won’t come cheaply but a guest stint would make him more affordable.

Former Italy striker Alessandro Del Piero has joined Sydney FC for reportedly A$2 million for two seasons, although he also has a number of add-ons to supplement his wage.

The chances of Beckham coming to Wellington appear slim but there’s little doubt he would put bums on seats.

Westpac Stadium sold out in 2007 when his LA Galaxy side played the Phoenix, and Wellington are attracting considerably fewer fans than the 10,000 needed for the club to break even.

More than 12,000 turned up for the season opener against Del Piero’s Sydney but crowds have dwindled since and only 6568 turned out for the recent 1-0 defeat to Central Coast.

“We are extremely concerned,” Dome said.

“There’s no doubt the crowds outside the first game with Del Piero have been poor.

“It’s not sustainable.

“At the moment, Wellington is saying to us that football in the capital is not a sustainable business model.

“If it means playing away from Wellington, we will look at it.

“If it means more money to buy players, we will do that. It’s all up for grabs.”

So, it seems, is David Beckham.

Opportunity knocks for New Zealanders, says Pearce

By Nick Tolerton Mahal Pearce, the last New Zealander to win the NZ Open, predicts a Kiwi golfer will do it again at Clearwater this week.

It’s been a barren run for New Zealand’s best since Pearce won the title at Middlemore in 2003.

Last year’s winner and runner-up, Australians Brad Kennedy and Craig Perry, are not back in a field which lacks some of the quality of past Opens.

“You’ve got a very good chance of a Kiwi taking it out,” said Pearce.

“Mark Brown’s in great form,

Mike Hendry’s in great form, Gareth Paddison, and David Smail.

“If not this year, then there’s something wrong.”

Brown and Hendry are his picks.

Brown seemed to be “pretty calm and collected at the minute and he’s got things very well sorted.

“And Mike Hendry, you never know with him, he can shoot some low numbers.

“Those two are my bet.”

Pearce, 35, said he’d not played a lot all year. He played his first tournament of 2012 in Perth a few weeks ago and was a bit rough, but was “pretty pleased” with a marked improvement last week, he said.

Clearwater was a course that had grown on him over the years, he said.

He did not like it initially, but they’d made a lot of changes around the greens with the run-offs and aspects like that, and improved it fantastically.

“I’ve played a lot of rounds around here now. I hope I can figure out a way to play it after all those.

“I don’t mind it now, it’s a challenge, and if the wind gets up, like any golf course it’s going to be pretty tough, but if conditions stay pretty calm there will be some low scores.”

When Pearce won the 2003 Open the tournament was worth $700,000 “and it grew after that with Tiger coming,” he said.

This time it’s worth Aust $400,000, and Pearce said a lot was going to be said about the prize money.

But it was difficult times for sport in New Zealand - “this is a one-off week and it’s hard for a major corporate to come along and say we’ll give you a million dollars, whereas they could go and spend a million dollars on the Warriors and get 25, 26 weeks of exposure. So you’ve got to realise that sort of stuff.”

The joint favourites for the title are New Zealand’s Hendry (who heads the Australasian PGA tour earnings list this year with $198,233) and Brown (third with $114,287) and Australian Nick Cullen.

SILVER MEDAL WINNING

• CD jumps to the top It was always going to take something special for Northern Districts to deny Central Districts on the final day of their Plunket Shield cricket match in Gisborne yesterday and they made little impression against a side who have now jumped to the top of the table. Central Districts enjoyed an eight-wicket win over Northern, coasting to their target of 95 for the loss of two wickets inside 20.3 overs. Jeet Raval backed up his first innings score of 73 with an unbeaten 57 and, alongside Matthew Sinclair (7 not out), guided his team to a comfortable victory.

Rain forced the second day of Canterbury’s match with Wellington in Rangiora to be abandoned. Canterbury are 91-2 in reply to Wellington’s 239, with Peter Fulton (32 not out) and Dean Brownlie (53 not out) still at the crease.

Cooper was reportedly considering other options, including rugby league and boxing, after the Australian Rugby Union offered him only a reduced, incentive-based contract. While McKenzie on Tuesday chuckled at suggestions the Khoder Nasser-managed player would seriously pursue a boxing career, the Reds’ mentor was reluctant to speculate on - AAP Cooper’s next move.

Wallabies flanker Scott Higginbotham says he has no regrets about his attack on All Black skipper Richie McCaw in last month’s Bledisloe Cup test. He was handed a two-week ban for kneeing and headbutting McCaw in the 18-18 draw in Brisbane. Higginbotham said he didn’t regret the attack and would not change his trademark gritty playing style. “I don’t regret anything I did, it was just football I suppose,” he said. “I don’t think I’d really change anything ... I’ve been playing for a number of years now and seeing as that’s the first [suspension] I think I’m doing all right to be honest.” The 26-year-old wasn’t considered for the Wallabies’ European tour due to the ban but was called into the squad for the final two tests after lock Rob Simmons’ eight-week ban last week for a dangerous tackle - HOL on Yannick Nyanga.

• Iro joins Cup defence Tony Iro has put the disappointment of missing out on the Warriors coaching position behind him and joined the NZRL in a fulltime role as high performance manager. Iro, who was Warriors assistant for three years, was overlooked for the Warriors role for Matt Elliott and turned down the opportunity to remain at the club as an assistant coach.

He had also been linked with an assistants role at the Roosters.

His position with the NZRL will see him focus on the elite end of the sport, working closely with the Kiwis and Junior Kiwis along with other NZRL teams. - APNZ

this weekend’s test against Wales.

Taunts from defence coach Shaun Edwards at the World Cup that Wales would have rattled the All Blacks if they had played the final will help too.

The All Blacks will be determined to prolong their opponents’ recent run of misery.

The medics have given Dagg the green light to return to full training after his mishap.

His attitude has changed since he began his All Black career with some cameo spells from the bench.

He knows his concentration can wander and that he has to be in the zone for the entire 80 minutes.

“Back in the day I would come on for 20 minutes and just try and make an impact, but here I’ve got to do this role and do the basics properly.”

Dagg’s selection for Sunday is certain, but Steve Hansen and Ian Foster have had some bristly discussions as they worked through the choices in a few positions.

“There is nothing too scientific about it, at that point you just go on your gut feel,” Foster said.

They expect Wales’ focus to be very sharp because they will likely target this game as retribution for

By Wynne Gray For much of the last two decades, the All Blacks have been blessed with an array of classy fullbacks.

John Timu, Christian Cullen, Glenn Osborne, Jeff Wilson, Leon MacDonald and Mils Muliaina suited up for often lengthy spells in the No 15 jersey.

Now it is Israel Dagg’s turn, another player with an array of stunning athletic gifts he has honed to fit the demands of his position.

Like many of his team-mates, Dagg has helped shift the All Blacks’ style to one that uses possession, skills and aerobic grunt to stretch the opposition.

However, Dagg knows he needs to keep performing.

After lasting just 26 minutes against Scotland before a heavy collision sent him from the field, the All Blacks looked at Beauden Barrett for the future then cocked an eye at Cory Jane as their fullback insurance.

In his 26-minute appearance as a substitute fullback, he ignited a flickering All Black performance.

It’s probably just the stimulus Dagg and the All Blacks need for

They will do everything to staunch the 59-year losing stretch against the visitors.

Wales will bring great passion, they will be physical with the ball and at breakdowns and they will look for continuity and defend with intensity.

The All Blacks would be equally ready after two torrid physical encounters with Scotland and Italy.

Dagg has only heard about the vocal crowds and great arena after injury took him out of the trip two years ago.

He hoped conditions would get warmer but the forecasters were not optimistic.

Shane Cameron’s brittle right hand has been rebuilt so many times it would make Steve Austin wince. His skull has been smoothed so his face doesn’t cut so easily. Even his reputation has required a rebuild after being shredded by David Tua in Hamilton three years ago.

So Cameron is no stranger to personal reconstruction. But tonight in Melbourne - against Danny Green in an IBO world cruiserweight title contest that eclipses the Tua fight for importance if not interest - it is how well Cameron copes with his physical deconstruction that will prove decisive.

Cameron has been broken down over the last seven weeks, stripping weight from an already fat-free body to meet Green’s demands, and taking a pounding in the ring during an incredibly intensive sparring programme.

His gaunt physical appearance at his final public engagement before departing New Zealand last week shocked many.

But Cameron believes his handlers have got things just right.

The weight loss went smoothly, he

has retained his power and has recovered from the brutal sparring as his workload was trimmed 10 days out from the fight.

“I’m a different man to what I was in my last sparring session when I was doing heavy rounds,” he said at yesterday’s weigh-in.

“I am ready. I couldn’t be more ready for anything in my life.”

Cameron’s camp had better have got it right. The blows he will take in the ring tonight won’t go close to replicating the extended punishment he has received during 80 rounds of preparation.

“When you see a fighter get knocked out, most of the damage has been done before a fight,” Cameron admitted.

Green doesn’t possess huge one-punch power but he is as relentless as his “Machine” moniker suggest. His impressive 28 KOs from 32 wins prove just how deadly he can be.

“I am older and he is probably hitting his peak but that excites me,” Green said. “Hopefully when I am old and crotchety I can look back and say ‘I took on guys I had to be at my best to defeat.

Shane is that. He is good nick mentally and physically. He ain’t taking this easy - this is his shot at the big time.”
