Third person throws hat in mayoral ring By Susan Sandys Mid Canterbury’s mayoral race is heating up as a third candidate announces his intention to stand for election. Ashburton District Councillor and former Mount Hutt College principal Don McLeod has been nominated by two fellow councillors who have both already stated their intentions not to stand again – John Leadley and Jim Burgess. His nominations for the mayoralty and another for councillor were received by the council late on Wednesday, representing the first two received by the council since nominations opened. Mr Leadley and Mr Burgess yesterday had no comment on what they thought of the leadership of incumbent Angus McKay, but did not want that interpreted as they did not support him. “No more than I will comment on the other three I have worked under. I’m not into comparing mayors,” said Mr Leadley, who worked with

Don McLeod Bede O’Malley, Murray Anderson and Geoff Geering before Mr McKay. “I think it’s a role we need to have a choice, I believe he (Mr McLeod) has the skills to do a very good job if he was elected,” Mr Leadley said. Mr Burgess said he had enjoyed working with Mr McKay. “Don came to see me and I was happy to second his nomination,

Former mayor calls for clean contest Mid Canterbury’s longest serving mayor of recent times, Geoff Geering, 80, has some advice for the three contenders in the mayoral race. “I think the three candidates should present themselves as to what their vision is for the next three years, and not enter into

any slanging match amongst each other, but have a clean contest,” Mr Geering said. “And may the best person win.” Until he retired from the role in 1995, Mr Geering served six consecutive terms as mayor, and was elected unopposed for five of those.

it wasn’t anything to do with being anti-Angus,” Mr Burgess said. He had the “greatest respect” for Mr McLeod and believed he could do a good job. Mr McKay said he was not surprised by the nomination, as he had “heard rumours for quite some time”. Having three candidates was a “good choice for the people of Ashburton”. Mr McLeod, a one-term councillor who is aged 65, also had no criticism for the current leadership of the council. He said Mr McKay “works very hard”. “I’m just offering a different set of skills,” he said. He believed it was “great for the district” that voters had a clear set of choices for the coming election. He wanted to improve council communication, and wanted to develop both economic and social prosperity of the district. “I want to make sure in working with working with the new legislation (recent changes to the Local Government Act) we don’t lose sight of the importance of the social wellbeing of the district,” Mr McLeod said. The council currently had no “big ticket” or “burning” issues coming into the next local government term, rather there were a number of projects in progress which would continue, and he had been supportive of the art gallery/museum and stadium. There was ongoing development and the council needed to continue to emphasise its need for national road funding, and he wanted to see irrigation and other infrastructure continuing to be a priority. Mr McLeod is married to Ashburton College teacher Denise O’Halloran and the couple have two adult sons.

How many ways to use a broadsheet Coen Lammers editor

ou may want to hang on to your paper today. Readers use the Guardian for all kinds of things after they finish reading it, but today you have the last large broadsheet edition in your hands. After 133 years and 242 days, the Ashburton Guardian on Monday is changing all its six editions to the modern, more convenient compact size. So this paper is truly a special one that any historians may want to keep somewhere safe. Some readers will not be so amused, like owners of local takeaway shops who have used our pages for more than a century to wrap their hot chips. You will still get a paper on Monday, but it will only be able to fit half a scoop. Others have used our large newsprint sheets to cover tables when their kids are painting, or cover the carpet when they are painting their house. Many have relied on the larger size to line their birdcages, wrap presents or put on their car windows to keep out the frost. We apologise for any inconvenience on those fronts but hope that our smaller, revamped Guardian will make up for losing your wrapping paper. You will find that Monday’s paper has double the pages, with more news, sport and opinion plus new sections like Your Place and a full puzzles page. We will be celebrating our launch with a barbeque lunch on East Street so please come and join us for a free sausage and tell us what you think of your new Guardian.

Massive drop in council confidence ‘worrying’ By Susan Sandys

John Leadley: Trend “worrying”

Satisfaction with the performance of the mayor and councillors has dropped from 76 per cent four years ago to just 42 per cent today. This is among many results released yesterday from the Ashburton District Council’s annual residents’ survey, and is a trend councillor John Leadley called “worrying”. Mr Leadley said part of the trend may be due to council communication, which the council was addressing, and it could also be attributable to a lack of knowl-

edge among the public of the role of and work councillors do. He hoped the poor public perception was reflected by voter motivation leading to a high turnout at the coming local body elections. The results showed 42 per cent of residents rated councillor and mayor performance as very or fairly good, compared to 44 per cent last year, to which it had dropped since 2009. Another 32 per cent rated their performance as just acceptable, while 21 per cent rated their performance as not very good or poor. The national average was 46 per cent. Resident satisfaction with com-

munity consultation remained low, at 48 per cent, compared to 47 per cent last year, dropping from 69 per cent in 2009. This year’s result was higher than the national average for councils, which was 38 per cent. The results triggered discussion among councillors at their Finance and Community Services Committee meeting yesterday. Chief executive Brian Lester commented on the fact that residents least likely to be satisfied lived in the Ashburton township. He had recently read a book which said urban populations tended to “take their perceptions from what they read in the media as opposed

to what they experienced”. Councillor Darryl Nelson said an example of that could be reflected in the results of the survey for drinking water quality. The council had spent millions on a new intake of deep wells providing high quality water, yet satisfaction was 73 per cent among urban service users, compared to the national average of 89 per cent. He wondered if town residents reading media reports on copper water cylinders had anything to do with the relatively low satisfaction rate. Community planning manger Gavin Thomas said councils had a

“hard row to hoe” when it came to public perception of consultation. Most of the community were not interested in engaging in consultation unless it was about an issue that affected them and most were relatively comfortable with not engaging, “then every now and again a larger group of people want to get active around a particular issue”. Then “all of a sudden” the council was perceived as not engaging properly. “It’s not a referendum process, it’s an information seeking process. So it’s a tough thing to get across to people that they are not going to get their way every time,” Mr Thomas said.

The report is compiled from the council conducting a telephone survey of residents, and the council said overall in its report summary that the results were mostly “steady, with satisfaction in most areas remaining unchanged or experiencing a small change”. Significant movement included satisfaction with the way rates were spent, up by seven per cent. New questions were introduced for this year’s survey gauging support for making video recordings of meetings available online and changing council meeting times. Results showed most were unlikely to access such recordings or come to evening meetings.

IN MEMORIAM

Budget service gets a handout By Myles Hume The inundated Ashburton Budget Advisory Service has been given a leg up following an influx in clients. The Ministry of Social Development has given $5000 to the service as part of its $1.5 million it put aside for 92 budget support services around the country. “It’s extremely good to see the Government recognises the value and work of budget advice, that money will be going into run-

ning costs of the organisation and wages,” Ashburton Budget Advisory manager Carol Brown said. The Ashburton branch was the lowest receiver in the funding pool, with other centres getting as much as $30,000 and the biggest handout being $45,000. Mrs Brown said the service saw increasing numbers, with 165 new individual cases in the year ending June 30. That’s 24 more clients than the previous year. “So we are busy, probably around March we had the most clients we

have ever seen and two months later that was the same again. This month we are tracking for the same numbers,” Mrs Brown said. She said the service was committed to fulfilling the needs for struggling Ashburton families and providing education around responsible spending. However, she said there could be further client increases with new welfare reforms casting tighter regulations over beneficiaries, which will see them having to take more responsibility for spending. A lot of the time beneficiaries

Rosebank Retirement Village (from left) resident Jocelyn Hosken, caregiver Lyn McLeod, residents Don Ivey and Irene Croat and nurse Philippa Yates were among nine sweepstake winners to guess the correct name of royal baby George Alexander Louis.

By jove, George makes nine winners By Myles Hume Sweepstakers at the Rosebank Retirement Village heeded the advice of the world’s bookmakers yesterday as the Prince of Cambridge was named. George Alexander Louis was the name given to the world’s most talked about baby, as William and Kate took two days to bring the

world the highly anticipated news. Residents and staff at Ashburton’s Rosebank Retirement Village held a sweepstake for the name, with nine entrants all guessing the name George. “I chose it because it was the most obvious name wasn’t it? It’s the Queen’s father’s name,” resident Irene Croat said. “I think it’s a wonderful name, I think he’ll grow into it very well.”

The world did not need to wait long for the announcement, with recent royal babies’ names traditionally taking up to a week or even a month before being announced. The retirement village’s diversional therapist Debbie Shore created the sweepstake, and said there was little surprise when George was confirmed as the name. Bookmakers across the world said George or Alexander were like-

ly first names while a New Zealand poll found most were banking on James. However, Mrs Shore said the name Louis had spiked interest around the home, which they guessed was after Louis Mountbatten, the second cousin of King George the VI, who was assassinated. George favoured, P8

Workers air sinking lid policy concerns Harawira fined Ashburton workers are being asked to work “more and more” to fill the void as local employers don’t replace staff. That was one of the main concerns highlighted by about 20 FIRST Union members during a paid stop work meeting at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre yesterday. Local members from retail chains, banks and transport companies descended on the meeting, which looked into inequality and poverty in New Zealand. They wanted jobs for all, the introduction of a living wage, and secure and safe work. FIRST Union southern regional secretary Paul Watson said more Mid Canterbury employers were enforcing the sinking lid policy. “I think the concerning thing people were saying here was that workers are leaving employment and not being replaced, so they are having to cover them. People have to work more and more,” Mr Watson said. He pointed to yesterday’s meeting where about 10 members did not attend because “they felt obliged to stay at work”. One female member at the meeting reiterated his point. “Here we are required to work harder and faster and do more work but are expected to get the same pay. If it’s good enough to deduct our pay if they suspect we are going slow, how about cranking up our

Q: Are you satisfied with the current council’s performance?

Ashburton District councillor Jim Burgess might be retiring from council come October’s elections, but he’s still going to be a busy man. Mr Burgess has been appointed the commissioner to lead Ashburton’s District Licensing Committee. Council members unanimously approved a recommendation from Jane Donaldson, group manager environmental services, that Mr Burgess be appointed as commissioner to chair the District Licensing Committee. The Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act requires all councils to have a District Licensing Committee to decide on all applications for licences to sell or supply alcohol in the district. The new committee will begin issuing licences from December 18 this year. The committee is required to have either an elected council member or a commissioner as its chairperson. “We are very fortunate in that Jim Burgess has all the skills and experience required to lead the district licensing committee,” Ms Donaldson said. Mr Burgess has chaired the current district licensing agency for the past six years and has extensive knowledge of the local hospitality sector. The District Licensing Committee is currently advertising for people interested in becoming a member of the committee. “We are currently advertising for candidates to be committee members and will look to appoint our full committee by early September,” Ms Donaldson said. Anyone interested should go to the Ashburton District Council website for further information and application details.

wages when we are going faster,” she said. Members signed a pledge after the meeting asking for fairer pay, better conditions and more secure work, which is likely to be given to Rangitata MP Jo Goodhew. Current employment law changes were discussed at the meeting, including a proposal to allow employers to partially dock pay for workers taking partial industrial action. Mr Watson said there were other concerns around the proposed legislation which would allow employers to “walk away” from negotiations, removing the obligation to settle collective agreements. “That has the potential to lead to more industrial action, there will be more infuriation and tension with the employer,” Mr Watson said. The union was also calling on employers to adopt the living wage of $18.40 for their workers. The Warehouse Ashburton store union delegate Denise Scrivener said negotiations were progressing with her employer who was looking to adopt the living wage by August next year. “I know for some of our wages are low and below the living wage,” she said. The Government says the Employment Relations Amendment Bill proposes a package of measures to improve workplace arrangements in order to lift productivity and help create jobs. It said new laws would ensure more fairness, flexibility and clarity in employment law.

By Matthew Theunissen and Matthew Backhouse The Mana Party is standing by its leader Hone Harawira after he was convicted for disobeying police at a protest, with its president saying his “act of civil disobedience” was to be applauded. Harawira was yesterday fined $500 and ordered to pay $132 court costs after being convicted in Auckland District Court of failing to comply with a police instruction at a housing protest last year. Harawira was arrested last October when he joined protesters fighting the removal of state houses in Glen Innes. He locked himself in his car and turned his music up loud, blocking a Housing New Zealand-contracted truck and trailer unit from leaving with one of the homes. Police told him several times to move but he refused and they eventually smashed a window and arrested him. Harawira, who represented himself in court, said he did not move the car because he was ensuring the safety of three female protesters on

the roof of the house being removed. Harawira will remain in Parliament despite yesterday’s conviction. Under the Electoral Act, an MP loses their seat if they are convicted of an offence punishable by more than two years in prison, or if they are convicted of an offence relating to corruption. The maximum penalty under the Policing Act of failing to comply with a police instruction is six months imprisonment and a fine of up to $5000. Mana president Annette Sykes said the party had “every confidence” in Harawira as leader. “I think Hone is mirroring a number of our great leaders of the past, many of whom challenged the authority of the state when there was injustice, and were found guilty.” She compared Harawira to Tuhoe land rights activist Rua Kenana, who was imprisoned for resisting arrest, and Irish political activist Bernadette Devlin, who found herself “at the blunt edge of the law” while promoting the rights of the poor. -APNZ

ON WHAT’S New life for Guardian

Some tips for the weekend

By Michelle Nelson On Monday the Ashburton Guardian will become the first daily newspaper in the South Island to convert to compact size and last night invited guests got a sneak peek of the smaller, rebranded version. Speaking at the function at the Hotel Ashburton, Guardian owner Bruce Bell thanked both readers and advertisers for their support. “Without you, the reader, we don’t have advertisers and without either we don’t have a paper.” He said the move to the com-

pact format was the last in a series of strategic changes which began with the switch to morning delivery six years ago. The Guardian moved into new premises in Somerset House, and last year the new website, www.guardianonline.co.nz, was launched. Mr Bell said he took his responsibility as a publisher and fourth generation owner of the Guardian seriously. “The business of providing local news to the community has never been an easy journey,” he said. “Change has been constant, innovation crucial.” However, he pointed out that to survive in the industry it was

crucial to retain the paper’s local focus. “Local news must always come first, and the Guardian will remain a trusted source of local information. “We must take a stand on local issues and champion the community’s causes and provide a platform for people to have their say.” Advertising manager Desme Daniels said the switch to a compact sized paper had presented an opportunity to breathe new life into the Guardian. “For us the change has enabled us to re-evaluate and rejuvenate our sales model,” she said. “A key driver for us has been the need to adopt a better way to

package, price and sell advertising.” Editor Coen Lammers said the move to a compact format reflected a global trend, and did not equate to tabloid journalism. “The change is long overdue as readers in Ashburton, around New Zealand and the rest of the world have told researchers loud and clear that they prefer the modern, more convenient compact format,” he said. Referring to the paper’s contemporary new masthead and front page layout, Mr Lammers said it still contained elements which reflected the Guardian’s 134-year history.

Immigrants loathed over there, lauded here I

t has been interesting to see how immigrants have made headlines on both sides of the Tasman this week for varying reasons. Reading the difference in the tales of newcomers, I am pleased that I ended up on this side of the ditch. I happened to be in Australia last week when new, and old Prime Minister Kevin Rudd announced that his country would no longer accept boat refugees and ship them off to Papua New Guinea. In return, Australia sweetened

OUR VIEW the deal by promising to build some infrastructure for the impoverished Pacific nation. Whatever way you want to twist this news or spin how well PNG is doing out of this deal, Australia is basically dumping its illegal immigrants and making it someone else’s problem. This approach is nothing new, ever since previous administrations shipped other refugees off to Nauru where thousands of families are rotting

away, waiting to be processed. Many have dismissed this deal as barbaric and totally against the principles on which Australia was built, stone by stone by millions of immigrants. On the other hand, you have to feel some sympathy for the consecutive Australian Governments as tens of thousands of refugees keep landing on the beaches. But you can hardly say this empty continent is getting

crammed and with their enormous wealth and resources, surely the Australians can come up with a more civilised solution. Sadly, the elections are near and Mr Rudd is under the pump, so this solution will appeal to

many Australians. Running full page advertisements in Australian papers with photos of refugees, with big letters stating YOU WILL NOT BE WELCOME, can only be seen as an election campaign, as not many refugees in Pakistan or Malaysia will be reading the Sydney Morning Herald. New Zealand is lucky that our geographical distance has so far avoided this country to deal with a massive number of illegal immigrants, but you would hope we would show more empathy. After all, you can only imagine how scared or hungry these people

The Government is set for a sizeable windfall from Christchurch residential red zone properties it has purchased. As the owner of properties the Crown has either bought or is holding signed sale and purchase agreements for, the Government is eligible to get cash settlements for land damage now being paid out by the Earthquake Commission. EQC general manager of customer services Bruce Emson told The Star flat land settlements had just begun with green zone properties taking priority. No red zone settlements had yet been made. “The Crown will have the same rights as any other insured landowner and will be entitled to compensation to the extent allowed under EQC’s legislation,” he said. Mr Emson said as at last week, 45,000 flat land properties had been assessed, with 13,000 “processed through to settlement”. Compensation paid totalled $4.6 million, excluding Port Hills properties. The Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority has confirmed that 7414 red zone properties were eligible for a Crown offer, with 6147 settled and 966 with signed sale and purchase agreements. Some 301 properties were still outstanding. Cera said the Crown had paid $1.2 billion for the properties as at May 31 (the most recent figure available). - APNZ

Winz tells grandma to go out and get a job By Shelley Robinson A grandmother who has raised her grandson for the past five years is dismayed she has been told to get full-time work under the new welfare changes. Colleen Hughes, 58, of Avondale in Christchurch, says she was told by Work and Income New Zealand she was not considered a parent under new welfare changes and had to get full-time work. If her grandson Krynn, 10, were her biological child she would not be required to work full-time because he is under 14. Under the old welfare rules Mrs Hughes was required to seek only part-time work. The latest round of welfare reforms, which started last week, requires all sole parents and widows with no children under 14 to look for full-time employment like other job seekers.

Once a full-time sewing machinist, Ms Hughes left her job to raise her grandson. “This whole saga is so upsetting I am family, I am his flesh and blood,” she said. Mrs Hughes has been on a widow’s benefit and received $272 a week which had also included an accommodation allowance. She also received $183 for the unsupported child benefit. Mrs Hughes was asked to take Krynn by Child, Youth and Family when he was 5 because her daughter and her partner could not care for him. “When he first came to me he couldn’t cope very well. His first reaction was to thump people. It is just so amazing to see where he is now. “He’s had such a brilliant improvement. Just over a year ago he was at the bottom of his class now he is at the top,” she said. She fears if she returns to full-

time work it will jeopardise his progress. Ms Hughes said she has been given an appointment to convince Winz to reconsider. Grandparents Raising Grandchildren Trust chairwoman Diane Vivian said that since the changes, she had been inundated with “horror stories” about grandparents being told to get out and seek full-time work, despite being carers for their grandchildren. “These grandparents have given their lives to raise their grandchildren. They are old, worn out and now expected to go out and get work it is absolutely shocking,” she said. “These are not easy children to look after for the most part. They are traumatised and often have psychological conditions. It is hard caring for these children and they need granny to be at home all the time to keep things stable,” she said. - APNZ

Term of imprisonment for buttocks stabbing By Kelli Hooks A dispute over who was supposed to wash the dishes has led to a three-year jail term for stabbing a man in the buttocks. Kerry Godfrey, 23, Masterton, was convicted in Masterton District Court of intentionally causing grievous bodily harm and sentenced to three years and six months in prison. On February 19 an argument over unwashed dishes ended with Godfrey stabbing a 48-yearold man in the buttocks with a hunting knife. The injured 48-year-old man was taken to Wairarapa Hospital with three stab wounds. His injuries were not lifethreatening. Defence lawyer Louise Elder said Godfrey had been provoked

by the victim, who had come home from drinking and became abusive towards Godfrey for not washing dishes. “Mr Godfrey was in his own home, minding his own business ... he sought to avoid the abuse by taking to his own bedroom, this man followed him into his bedroom, rammed him up against the bed post, still going on about [him] not doing the dishes.” Ms Elder said Godfrey could not recall stabbing the man and initially thought he had done it with a set of keys. “He obviously got to the point where he didn’t really know what was going on, except that he wanted to get rid of this guy.” She said Godfrey had shown remorse, he had stayed with the victim until an ambulance arrived, and spoke to police

immediately after. Godfrey pleaded guilty at the earliest opportunity. Crown prosecutor Will Taffs said Godfrey had continued to blame the victim and had not shown remorse at all occasions. He said the remorse, therefore, was not entirely genuine. Mr Taffs said the difference between the hunting knife and keys was “rather large”. Judge Tom Broadmore accepted the victim had pursued a trivial matter in an “inflammatory way”. “However that does not mean you were entitled to attack him with a hunting knife but it does go some way to explain why you attacked him at all.” Godfrey was given a first strike warning, which means the conviction will stay on his record. - APNZ

The Office of the Ombudsman has ordered the Education Ministry release the names of 36 applicants wanting to set up charter schools. In a report released yesterday Ombudsman Professor Ron Paterson has ruled there were no grounds for withholding the names of the groups and they should be released within 21 days. He said the ministry had no statutory grounds for withholding the names of organisations which submitted an indication of interest. “After consideration of the relevant facts and of the statutory grounds for withholding advanced by the ministry, I have formed the opinion that no good reason exists to refuse the request,” he said in the report. The ministry said it would comply with the order. Former Act Party president Catherine Isaac and chairwoman of the Partnership School Working Group was found in the report to have assured two applicants they would remain anonymous as one had said they could be harassed for wanting to set up a charter school. An initial list of 34 expressions of interest were released in parts to the media. Later requests for the full list of 36 expressions of interest were declined by the Ministry of Education in order to protect two unknown applicants from “harassment”. The Office of the Ombudsman received a complaint from Shelley Nixon from the New Zealand Educational Institute. Her request for the list was refused in order to enable a

Minister of the Crown, or a department holding the information to carry out negotiations without prejudice or advantage. “The ministry suggested that named applicants might also be subject to harassment or threats. Dealing with media enquiries, lobbying, harassment or threats would mean that named applicants would be at a disadvantage during the negotiations with the ministry compared to applicants who had not submitted an indication of interest, and whose names were not publicly available,” Professor Paterson said in his report. Education Secretary Peter Hughes told the Ombudsman Ms Isaac’s concerns over harassment were “very real”. Professor Paterson said it was important to make clear that any organisation subject to the Official Information Act can never be guaranteed complete confidentiality. The report refers to the two schools who asked to remain anonymous as School A and School B. School A wrote to the Ombudsman saying: “if the Working Group cannot guarantee out confidentiality at this stage we request that our submission be withdrawn and to be notified immediately.” The school told him it was concerned that if it was named it would impact on the viability of its existing operations. School B was concerned that if it was named, staff may leave and it would be harder to recruit good teachers. Ms Isaac said she would not comment and that the ministry could answer questions. - APNZ

Controversial Chch subdivision sparks another crisis By Shelley Robinson Christchurch City Council is facing another consents crisis this time over a controversial subdivision. Investigations will be carried out after claims the city council allowed unsafe roads and an intersection to be built without following correct consenting procedures. The notice of motion at yesterday’s fiery city council meeting for an inquiry was voted in favour 10 to 2 with Mayor Bob Parker and counsellor Sue Wells voting against the investigation. The area on Yaldhurst Rd known as Nobel subdivision has been the battleground between residents and city council after a controversial spine road was allowed to be built with no resource consent and was later retrospectively given a consent. Residents also allege the city council allowed an intersection to be built on a private property without permission from the property owners and the commercial area of the subdivision expanded without notifying residents. Resident Colin Stokes who has been battling the city council for two and a half years on behalf of residents successfully called for an investigation at yesterday’s city council meeting. There will be two investigations - a safety audit on the road and investigation - and another by a

yet to be appointed barrister who will examine how the intersection was permitted to go over private land and why the commercial development was increased without public notification. The controversial spine road and a connecting loop road also fell below city planners’ safety requirements as there is no room for cycle lanes, median strips and pedestrians, said Mr Stokes.

Resident Colin Stokes who has been battling the city council for two and a half years on behalf of residents successfully called for an investigation at yesterday’s city council meeting “You allowed this to be built illegally. You rubber stamped the consent retrospectively and said we would not be adversely affected.,” he told city councillors. “We are now subject to 11,000 vehicle movements through there instead of the 6000 which city council said would be allowed,” he said. - APNZ

Soldier’s family feel ripped off By Edward Gay After Private Michael Ross went missing during an Army training exercise, his family clung to the hope he was playing with them and would turn up and surprise them. It was more than a week before his body was found on the bottom of Lake Moawhango, near Waiouru after he fell from a boat in September last year, weighed down by his gear. The Army has paid Private Ross’s family $241,000 in reparation and pleaded guilty at the Auckland District Court yesterday to a charge of failing to provide a safe working environment to the soldier. Sentencing will be carried out next week. As the Army acknowledged, the 29-year-old was let down by systematic failures in defence force equipment. Private Ross was flung from an under-inflated Zodiac as he was returning from a training exercise on the lake. The following day, his family gathered at the lake shore. “How do you explain our continued sense of hope that Michael was playing games and that any minute he would jump out from behind a bush and say ‘got ya’,” family spokesman Charles Hohaia said after today’s court hearing. In court, Private Ross’s aunt Marty Rogers read a victim impact statement on behalf of all of his cousins which spoke of their hurt. “We felt haunted by the thought of his body on the bottom of the lake,” she said. The family felt “ripped off”. “His life was taken - not by his own actions - he was robbed.” While the family were not angry at the army, they were deeply saddened by what had happened, she said. Today’s legal argument centred around whether or not the judge would make a finding of culpability. Army lawyer Craig Ruane said it was not possible for the judge to make such a finding but Department of Labour prosecutor Saar Cohen-Ronen said the court was the only place where such a finding could be made. “There were so many errors made that we can’t identify a person or an admission that led to the death of Private Ross. The errors are systematic. They cover different levels of people.” An Army Court of Inquiry find-

ing was damning and found widespread failures in safety protocols. The redacted version released to media today revealed that the soldiers had been given no training in the life jackets on loan from the Navy and the Zodiacs had not been maintained. Army head Major General David Gawn told reporters that he felt embarrassed when he read the report and felt that the Army had let down every parent who had entrusted their sons and daughters with the force. He said there were systematic failures but individuals could be held to account and could face a Military Police investigation. General Gawn said there were 33 recommendations in the report and the Army had already employed Australian Army personnel to carry out an audit of equipment. “Michael’s death was preventable. We, the New Zealand Army, did not follow procedures we have in place,” he said. Defence Minister Jonathan Coleman acknowledged the Defence Force’s guilty plea. “This was an absolute tragedy and my thoughts are with the Ross family as they continue to mourn Michael. I know today’s guilty plea will be little consolation for their devastating loss,” he said. “The Defence Force has apologised to the Ross family, and it takes full responsibility for the safety failings that led to his death.” The Defence Force’s external review of health and safety would report back in a few weeks, Dr Coleman said. Labour’s defence spokesman Phil Goff said the Defence Force had no option but to plead guilty. “The catalogue of errors that led to his death are appalling. Had any one of a number of critical mistakes been avoided his life may have been saved. His death was entirely preventable,” he said. The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment’s Health and Safety Group, which brought the prosecution, said its investigation identified systemic safety failures around the exercise. “This tragic accident simply should not have happened. Like any other employee, Private Ross should have been able to expect that his safety was paramount to his employer - in this case, the NZ Defence Force failed to meet its obligations to him,” said Brett Murray, general manager High Hazards and Specialist Services for the ministry. - APNZ

ARIES (Mar 21st Apr 20th) The Sun is now squaring with Saturn. This influence is akin to trying to drive a vehicle with the handbrake on. An awful lot of friction can be created and achievements probably won’t come without a great deal of effort. With Venus also clashing with Neptune, don’t believe all you hear, but do rein in on unessential spending. Be thrifty!

TAURUS (Apr 21st May 21st) Just at the point where you really have high hopes for someone, either they may disappoint you or people around you can be lukewarm in their reactions. This is not the best of times to think the best of people or to bare your soul. People may seem stingy and the best way to handle this is by resolutely refusing to seek approval.

Destiny Church’s charter school rejected By Kate Shuttleworth Destiny Church leader Bishop Brian Tamaki has criticised an Education Ministry decision to decline its application to change its South Auckland school into a charter school. Bishop Brian could not be reached for comment but on Twitter said: “If any 4 of the successful partnership schools chosen by Hekia Parata are weaker in critique than Destiny School then discrimination happened”. Bishop Tamaki’s spokesman Richard Lewis would not put questions to him, saying he was

school to a partnership school. The school is a year 1-13 school and 120 of its 150 student are Maori. Parents pay fees of up to $75 a week and the church also put resources into the school. Another school in Auckland looks set to be one of the few schools set up in Auckland. Mt Hobson Middle School’s academic manager Alwyn Poole said he was contacted by Mr Preddy this week and told him they were still in the running to be one of the first charter schools. The school has made three applications to set up a charter school in either West Auckland, South Auckland or Wanganui.

“What we have heard is good news, rather than being told that we haven’t got an opportunity, like others clearly some other groups have. We understand that we are still progressing - but that’s the only information that we have and we’ve been promised more information in the near future,” Mr Poole said. He said he expected any acceptance would involve a scaled back version of its proposal. The Government will announce the sponsors of the schools in August. It received 36 applications from organisations wanted to set up charter schools. - APNZ

An Ahipara man was lucky to survive an early morning jog in the Far North. Just after 6am on Wednesday a car travelling on along Takahe St crossed the centre line, forcing a jogger, who was wearing a fluoro jacket, to move on to the grass verge. As the car kept approaching he moved on to the footpath, then leapt over a bush and fence as it kept coming towards him. The car struck a shallow drain and flipped end for end, coming to rest on its roof. -APNZ

Coroner makes recommendations By Kurt Bayer A coroner has made a series of recommendations to the Government to help crack down on butane substance abuse after looking into the deaths of three Christchurch youths who died while huffing the gas. Coroner Sue Johnson says the first step is to raise awareness of the issues of butane misuse among specialists who have dealings with young people. There have been 63 butanerelated deaths in New Zealand between 2000 and 2012, with 87 per cent of victims aged under 24. The issue was highlighted last year, after 12-year-old Darius Logan Claxton became the youngest huffing-related fatality, and was followed soon after by the death of Poihaere Eru, 17. They both died accidentally in

separate incidents after using the gas while out with friends in Christchurch. Samuel John Gold, 19, died after abusing the substance at his parents’ home in November 2010. All three cases were looked at by Coroner Johnson at a joint inquest earlier this year. Now, the coroner has recommended that the Government leads a “well organised approach” to butane, and other volatile substances, abuse as a priority. Local councils and Safe Communities Foundation NZ need to work with retailers and educate them on how they can sell the substances responsibly, she says in her findings out today. The Ministry of Social Development should include the issue of butane substance abuse in the Children’s Action Plan it’s currently working on. Coroner Johnson says that

department should also work with Ministry of Health to convene a high level summit or hui to come up with an evidence-based, consistent approach to lowering butane misuse across the country. They should also look at whether there needs to be support for Maori communities to develop their own solutions to the problem of butane and other volatile substance abuse, in the same way they are being supported in relation to suicide. “This is because statistics have shown that 30 out of the 63 butane related deaths between 2000 and 2012 were of people of Maori ethnicity,” the coroner says. All three youngsters in the recent inquest died of acute cardiac arrhythmia after huffing butane. Forensic pathologist Dr Martin Sage gave evidence that there was

a risk of developing an abnormal heart rhythm “each time” butane is used. “It could happen any time it is used to anyone who uses it. The risk is there every time,” the coroner heard. Dr Sage said butane is so difficult to predict whether it’s going to be safe to use or not, making it “a real wild card... compared to some of the other recreational substances that are being used in the community.” Ross Bell, executive director of the New Zealand Drug Foundation, told the inquest that reducing the harm from all volatile substance abuse is a “very complex” issue, given that they are cheap, legal, and readily available. There’s also a low awareness of butane misuse right across the society, including by parents, teachers, young people themselves, even health professionals, Mr Bell said. - APNZ

LEO (Jul 24th - Aug 23rd) This week has seen the Sun relocate to your sign and just as you have got a head of steam up Saturn angles sharply with the Sun to make life a lot more complex. Something that you want to achieve and have set your heart on may run counter to the opinion or needs of someone close. This may be a parent or offspring.

VIRGO (Aug 24th Sep 23rd) With Venus in your sign there is very real potential for attracting greater attention romantically. But if you do like someone you may become crestfallen if a friend tells you something about them that is uncomplimentary. Try not to be swayed too much by gossip but equally don’t ignore what you are told completely, just be mindful of it.

LIBRA (Sep 24th Oct 23rd) Over the last ten months Saturn has urged you to cut down on those little treats that Libra people love so much: those slices of luxury that make life more bearable! To the end of this week, if you have been going through a sustained period of cost cutting, you may feel pessimistic. But think long term and savour the things that cost nothing.

SCORPIO (Oct 24th - Nov 22nd) If you readily take on responsibilities, the sharp right angle that shapes up now between the Sun and Saturn may just be another hurdle to jump and you’ll take satisfaction from doing so. If, however, you’ve never felt under so much intense pressure, this can be a tough time. You may take solace with someone alluring, but are they for real?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23rd - Dec 21st) If ever anyone asks me to characterise each zodiac sign in one word, for you that word is FREEDOM. Now that doesn’t mean you won’t turn up to work on time, help others or do other virtuous deeds, but generally you like the freedom to do this on your terms. That may prove harder going now as psychological undercurrents bubble up.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22nd - Jan 20th) By nature, Capricorn people are often some of the most cautious members of the zodiac, but in an entirely positive way. You understand the need to plan, to carefully research and to think about the ups and the downs before you truly commit yourself. If this rings true for you, keep this going, especially if someone is pushing you to make a snap decision.

AQUARIUS (Jan 21st - Feb 19th) Getting firm information on a financial proposition may prove trickier than is ideal. Someone may be making all the right noises but facts and figures may be thin on the ground. In love, things can also seem to shift like the sands. As much as you might want to tell it how it is and wrestle things into your control, this may not prove easy.

PISCES (Feb 20th Mar 20th) Try to attend to the things you least want to do and then it will create the emotional and physical space to go and focus on the things you do want to do. Freedom isn’t coming without any effort at this time, nor is new knowledge, improving your skills or expanding your world. Yet with dedication, the rewards will eventually flow.

77 dead in Spanish train crash A train has hurtled off the tracks in northwest Spain killing at least 77 passengers and injuring 143, with the media suggesting the tragedy could be due to speeding. Four carriages overturned in the smash, smoke billowing from the wreckage, as bodies were lain out under blankets along the tracks. The wagons piled into each other and folded up like an accordion. One was ripped apart by the force of the crash, one of its ends pushed up into the air. Disaster struck at 8.42pm yesterday as the train carrying 218 passengers and four staff was about to enter Santiago de Compostela station in the region of Galicia. Rescue workers have recovered 73 bodies from the wreckage of the train while four other victims died in hospital, a spokesman for the Galicia regional high court told AFP. Francisco Otero, 39, who was inside his parents’ home just beside the section of the track where the accident happened, said he heard a huge bang. “The first thing I saw was the body of a woman. I had never seen a corpse before.

But above all what caught my attention was that there was a lot of silence, some smoke and a small fire,” he told AFP. “My neighbours tried to pull out people who were trapped inside the carriages with the help of pickaxes and sledgehammers and they eventually got them out with a hand saw. It was unreal.” The train had left Madrid and was heading for the town of Ferrol as the Galicia region was preparing celebrations in honour of its patron saint James. Public television TVE said the train may have derailed because it was speeding at the time but a spokesman for state railway company Renfe said it was too soon to say what caused the accident. “There is an investigation under way and we have to wait. We will know what the speed is very soon when we consult the train’s black box,” a Renfe spokesman said. “Deadly High Speed” the El Mundo daily’s headline ran. The paper reported that the train had been travelling at 220km/h in an urban zone with a speed limit of 80km/h. The El Pais suggested the train was travelling at

180km/h. The accident happened on a stretch of highspeed track about four kilometres from the main train station in Santiago de Compostela, the destination of the famous El Camino de Santiago pilgrimage which has been followed by Christians since the Middle Ages. “There are bodies laying on the railway track. It’s a Danteesque scene,” Alberto Nunez Feijoo, president of the regional government, told news radio Cadena Ser. Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, who is from Santiago de Compostela, was to visit the scene of the accident today. “I want to express my affection and solidarity with the victims of the terrible train accident in Santiago,” he said in a Twitter message. Pope Francis called for prayers for the victims. “He joins the families in their sorrow and calls for prayers ... in this tragic event,” Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi told reporters in Rio de Janeiro. The town hall of Santiago de Compostela called off planned concerts and firework displays that had been planned as part of the festivities in honour of - AFP its patron saint.

Police hope a sample of child killer Derek Percy’s DNA will provide answers to the secrets he has taken to the grave. Percy, Victoria’s longest serving prisoner, died of cancer on Wednesday and remains a suspect in a number of unsolved murders in four states. The 64-year-old was quizzed by police on what he knew about more than half a dozen unsolved cases up until his death, but remained tightlipped. Victorian police have taken a DNA sample from Percy which has been made available to officers interstate. A blood stain taken last year from the scene of the 1965 murders of teenagers Christine Sharrock and Marianne Schmidt on Sydney’s Wanda Beach could provide a breakthrough in the case, in which Percy is a suspect. But DNA testing is not advanced enough to make a definitive link, because the evidence is so old.

• Mayor arrested Emergency personnel respond to the scene of a train derailment in Santiago de Compostela, Spain, yesterday.

At the weekend, he denied to investigators any involvement in her death, despite earlier saying he couldn’t remember. Donald Brook, whose toddler Simon Brook was brutally murdered in Sydney in 1968, said Percy will no longer be able to harm other children. In 2005, the then NSW state coroner recommended that Percy be charged over Simon’s murder, but the charge did not proceed. Percy abducted and killed 12-yearold Yvonne Tuohy southeast of Melbourne in 1969 and has been detained on insanity grounds since. He also remains a suspect in the unsolved murders of six-year-old Alan Redston in Canberra in 1966 and three-year-old Simon Brook in Sydney in 1968, and the disappearance of the three Beaumont children - AAP in Adelaide in 1966.

Hopes DNA could solve crimes Bombers target Pakistan By Daniel Fogarty and Melissa Iaria

ISI office; seven dead By Ashraf Khan Suicide car bombers and gunmen have attacked a government complex housing offices of Pakistan’s top intelligence agency, sparking a shootout that’s killed seven people. The dead included four attackers, one intelligence agent and a government employee, in what was an unprecedented attack in the otherwise sleepy southern town of Sukkur. Although there was no immediate claim of responsibility, it is likely to revive fears that the reach of Islamist militancy is spreading in the nuclear-armed state of 180 million people.

State TV said at least 38 people were wounded in what has been one of the bloodiest attacks blamed on Islamist militants in Pakistan so far during the holy Muslim fasting month of Ramadan. Police said the attackers stormed the complex of offices and homes for senior officials, including those belonging to the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency, as people broke their fast after sundown. They detonated two bombs – one outside a police building and a car bomb outside the ISI office in the town, more than 1000km south of the capital Islamabad.

Royal baby gets favoured name By Julian Drape It could be 70 years hence but when William and Kate’s baby eventually becomes monarch he could be known as King George VII. But if he chooses one of his middle names as sovereign the royal baby might become Britain’s first King Alexander or first King Louis. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge yesterday said they were delighted to name their son George Alexander Louis. Royal historian Anna Whitelock says the name has something for everybody. “But it’s very much an acknowledgement and tribute to the royal side of the family rather than to the Middletons,” she said. George, being the Queen’s father’s name, would be “hugely popular” with Her Majesty, Dr Whitelock said. The name is associated with continuity and stability because George VI became king after the 1936 abdication crisis. Alexandra is the Queen’s second name so Alexander can also be seen as a tribute to Elizabeth II. There’s been no King Alexander before although there have been three Scottish kings with that name. Louis is one of William’s middle names and the first name of the late Lord Mountbatten who was Prince Charles’ great-uncle and confidant. Yesterday’s announcement is expected to see a spike in the popularity of George as a name in the UK and abroad.

Britain’s new prince has been named George Alexander Louis. The baby’s name was revealed in an official statement after the Cambridges escaped London to Kate’s parent’s house in Berkshire. The Bucklebury residence of Michael and Carole Middleton is a large seven-bedroom Georgian property with plenty of room to spare. It’s not known how long William, Kate and baby George will remain in the countryside, but it’s widely tipped that Kate and George could stay for six weeks. Prince William has two weeks’ paternity leave from his job as an RAF search and rescue helicopter pilot but will then return to the Isle of Anglesey off the coast of northwest Wales. It’s unlikely Kate and George will

head back there given the family are due to move into apartment 1A at Kensington Palace in the northern autumn once renovations are complete. Bucklebury will offer the new family more privacy than their current London base of Nottingham Cottage in the grounds of Kensington Palace. A former operational commander of royalty protection says “they are as safe and secure there as anywhere else”. Earlier yesterday the Queen visited her great-grandchild at Kensington Palace. It was an historic occasion as it’s almost 120 years since a reigning monarch has met a future king three generations ahead. - AAP

Pussy Riot member denied parole Russia has denied parole to a jailed member of punk band Pussy Riot who has been sentenced to two years in jail for a protest against President Vladimir Putin in a Moscow church. Maria Alyokhina, 25, had requested parole for the second time at a regional court in Perm, an industrial city more than 1100 kilometres east of Moscow, after a district court ruled to keep her in jail in May. Alyokhina is one of three members of Pussy Riot who were sentenced to two years in prison after they sang a “Punk Prayer” against the Russian Orthodox Church’s close ties with Putin in Moscow’s central Church of Christ the Saviour in February 2012. Alyokhina and a bandmate were convicted and sentenced to jail in August 2012, while the third woman was given a suspended sentence on appeal. Observers had expressed some hope that the Perm court would free Alyokhina, who has a young son at home, because she was unexpectedly told to pack her belongings and moved out of her penal colony in the town of Berezniki on July 12 to partici-

Police have arrested the head of a school in eastern India where 23 students died after eating food contaminated with pesticide, an officer told AFP. “The principal surrendered ... and we have arrested her for questioning,” said Sujeet Kumar, police chief of Saran district in Bihar state where the children died. “We need to talk to her first before framing charges,” the

official said yesterday by telephone. The children, aged four to 12, died after eating a free lunch of lentils, potatoes and rice cooked at the school in a poverty-stricken village on July 16. Oil used to cook the food contained an agricultural insecticide that was five times the strength sold in the market place, a forensic report found. The head teacher fled and

has been on the run since the incident in Gandaman village, which also left some 30 children ill in hospital and sparked angry protests. Police raided the home of the head teacher last week where ingredients for the meal and cooking oil were kept, an officer has said. Free lunches are offered to about 120 million school children throughout India in what

is the world’s largest school feeding program. Bihar is one of the country’s poorest and most densely-populated states. Educators see the midday meal scheme as a way to increase school attendance. But children often suffer from food poisoning because of poor hygiene in kitchens and occasionally substandard food. - AFP

More than 100 famous musicians including Madonna, Elton John and Sting signed an open letter released on Monday appealing for the women to be freed. “While understanding the sensitivities of protesting in a place of worship, we ask that the Russian authorities review these harsh sentences, so that you may return to your children, your families and your lives,” stars wrote in the letter coordinated by rights group Amnesty International. The second jailed Pussy Riot punk Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, 23, is serving her sentence in a prison colony in the region of Mordovia, 500 kilometres southeast of Moscow and is due to attend a parole hearing in the regional capital of Saransk tomorrow. The third Pussy Riot member to be convicted, Yekaterina Samutsevich, 30, was freed on appeal with a suspended sentence after her lawyer argued she was grabbed by guards in the Moscow church before she could actually take part in the protest. - AFP

Terry’s hot deal

A capital gains tax on property makes little sense unless it also applies to the family home, says Finance Minister Bill English. Speaking at yesterday’s Mood of the Boardroom event in Auckland, English told the country’s top business leaders the Government was maintaining its “clear position” on the capital gains tax debate. “We’re not supporting the extension of the current capital gains tax,” he said. “The overseas experts who tell us we need it all say that it should be comprehensive on all capital gains. And if you don’t do the whole thing then it probably doesn’t make much difference.” In the Herald’s 2013 Mood of the

Boardroom CEOs Survey, just under half of leaders supported the introduction of a capital gains tax in some form. Also speaking yesterday was David Parker, Labour’s finance spokesman, who said the Government had backed itself into a corner over its refusal to budge on the matter. There was a clear need for such a tax, given the “rampant house price inflation in Auckland” but National could not risk getting offside with its voters, Parker said. “They’re allied with the interests of the minority who would pay most of the capital gains tax and whose financial interests it’s in to oppose a capital gains tax. They’ve got themselves in a corner.” Parker said the Labour Party favoured excluding the family home from such a tax.

House prices continued to rise because speculators were buying more and more houses, making a tax free capital gain “at the expense of first home buyers and people who can’t even afford one house”. He argued that curbing such speculation would encourage Kiwis to invest in other areas such as the capital markets. “A capital gains tax would be the most important thing to divert investment capital in other directions,” he said. The Herald’s Fran O’Sullivan said this year’s Mood of the Boardroom survey showed support was building in the business community for a tax on capital gains. Thomas Pippos, chief executive of Deloitte New Zealand, said an explicit capital gains tax no longer generated the type of opposition it once did. “In fact, the majority of those that

voted either for or against it saw an explicit capital gains tax as appropriate to set the right policy settings and/or to facilitate a drop in other tax rates.” Pippos recently wrote an opinion piece in the Herald which provoked strong discussion among readers. He argued there was an acceptance that a capital gains tax was “an inevitable part of our future tax landscape”. Among those who generally supported a capital gains tax, there were ongoing debates as to what it looked like, he said. Pippos said New Zealand already had a CGT regime, albeit one that applied only in particular circumstances and which was not comprehensive. “The most marked exclusions are all domestic equities, non-portfolio investments and large tracts of real property,” - APNZ he said.

Earnings to dip RBNZ keeps OCR at 2.5% By Jamie Gray The Fonterra Shareholders Fund unit price dropped by 3.7 per cent after the co-operative signalled that its earnings would fall slightly short of prospectus forecasts in the current year. By mid-morning, the units were trading at $7.20, down 28c from Wednesday’s close. Earlier, Fonterra said its earnings for the financial year to July 31 would be slightly short of the forecast outlined in the prospectus for the fund, which was launched last year. Fonterra units give non-farming investors exposure to the dividend-paying, or manufacturing side, of Fonterra but not to high milk prices, which benefit farmers only. The co-operative said the combined impact of the drought and the “reshaping” of its Australian business meant its forecast for normalised earnings before interest and tax was likely to be around $1 billion, just below the prospectus forecast of $1.079b. Fonterra confirmed that the 2013 forecast cash payout to farmer shareholders of $6.12 would remain unchanged. The current earnings per share guidance range of 45-50 cents per share had been reconfirmed, although it was now likely to be at the lower end of the range, it said. The prospective annual dividend per share of 32 cents remained the same. Chief executive Theo Spierings said volatility caused by the drought and changes to Fonterra’s Australian business had affected earnings before interest and tax. In the first half of 2013 Fonterra’s NZ Milk Products (NZMP) division delivered a strong performance on the back of price premiums, product mix, cost savings and productivity gains. Fonterra said at the time of its interim result in March that the second half was likely to be more challenging. “The drought has contributed to a 64 per cent rise in whole milk powder prices on GlobalDairyTrade since early 2013, and this has had a temporary, but significant, negative impact on NZMP’s margins,” Spierings said in a statement. - APNZ

By Paul McBeth Reserve Bank governor Graeme Wheeler kept the official cash rate at 2.5 per cent as consumer price increases remain muted, though he will mull a hike if the momentum in housing and construction spur broader inflation. “The extent of the monetary policy response will depend largely on the degree to which the growing momentum in the housing market and construction sector spills over into inflation pressures,” Wheeler said in a statement. “Although removal of monetary stimulus will likely be needed in the future, we expect to keep the OCR unchanged through the end of the year.” In its June forecasts, the Reserve Bank expected the 90-day bank bill, often seen as a proxy for the OCR, to start rising in June next year, with a slightly steeper curve starting in 2015, before reaching 4.2 per cent in March 2016. Traders are pricing in an increase of 39 basis points over the coming 12 months, according to the Overnight Index Swap curve. “We don’t expect a lot of change in the RBNZ’s outlook assessment relative to the June monetary policy statement,” said ASB chief economist Nick Tuffley, in a preview. A weaker currency and higher

Graeme Wheeler dairy prices mean the medium term inflation outlook has probably been revised up, though the bank was likely to repeat its view that it expects “to keep the OCR unchanged through the end of the year,” Tuffley said. Wheeler has had to steer monetary policy in an environment where inflation has been below the bank’s target band of between 1 per cent and 3 per cent as a strong currency keeps imported prices down, while balancing that against building pressures in the Auckland housing market and a massive reconstruction effort in Canterbury. He took another dig at the Auckland and Canterbury housing markets, which have been outpacing the rest of the nation amid a shortage of supply, reiterating the bank “does not want to see financial or price stability compromised by housing demand getting too far ahead of the supply response.”

The bank is currently considering the introduction of macroprudential tools to limit the level of high loan-to-value ratio home lending as a means to counter the threat of low equity home lending the stability of the banking sector. Government figures earlier this month showed the consumer price index rose at an annual pace of 0.8 per cent in the second quarter, its slowest pace in 14 years, with building price pressures in housing and construction remaining relatively contained. In its June monetary policy statement, the central bank forecast the annual CPI to return to the band in September of this year, rising above 2 per cent in June 2015. Wheeler said the New Zealand dollar is still high and is dragging on exporters by restricting their earning power and encouraging demand for imported substitutes. The kiwi dollar averaged 76.55 in the second quarter on a tradeweighted basis, below the Reserve Bank’s projected 77.50. The TWI recently traded at 75.31 after the OCR announcement from 75.17 immediately before. The kiwi rose to 79.50 US cents from 79.30 cents. Wheeler said the domestic economy’s recovery is improving across more sectors, albeit in an - APNZ uneven way.

NZ rich get richer in NBR Rich List New Zealand’s wealthiest added $3.5 billion to their worth in the latest NBR Rich List, with packaging baron Graeme Hart on top and Xero founder Rod Drury achieving the fastest growing fortune. The combined worth of those included in the 2013 list reached a record $60.4 billion, about 79 per cent of the total capitalisation of the NZX’s main trading board. Hart, who has built a global packaging empire following his acquisition of Carter Holt Harvey, was worth $6.4 billion, up $400 million from a year ago. Richard Chandler, the global investor who built a diversified portfolio with brother Christopher before dividing their assets in 2007, ranked second, with his worth falling $1.3 billion to $3.7 billion. The Todd family was third, rising by $200 million to $2.9 billion, followed by the family of booze baron Michael Erceg, up $100 million to $1.6 billion. Among newcomers were Victoria Ransom, who sold her Wildfire Interactive business to Google last year for a reported US$250 million and was valued at $300 million. Hamish Edwards, a co-founder of NZX-listed Xero, was worth $105 million as he benefited from a 2000 per cent increase in shares of the cloud-based accounting company. Xero chief executive Drury’s wealth rocketed to $400 million from $120m million a year ago. Wellington’s property and sex industry bosses John and Michael Chow made the list with a fortune estimated at $50 million each. Kiwis returned to the top of the list after foreigners were excluded from the 2013 line-up. In the previous year the list included Russian mineral mogul Alexander Abramov. Rounding out the top 10 were the Goodman family with $1 billion, Michael Friedlander on $950 million, Owen Glenn with $900 million, Stephen Jennings on $900 million and Douglas Myers on $880 million. - BusinessDesk

–How to choose the right agent

P.A.

e all know that buying and selling real estate is likely to be the biggest single financial transaction the majority of us undertake in our lives and then why do so many sellers not even take the time to ask a few simple questions before engaging a sales person?

2 years

P.A.

QUESTIONS TO ASK YOU REAL ESTATE AGENT (1) How long have you been selling real estate, what was your previous experience? (2) How many houses have you sold in the last month/six months/year?

A little bit of homework prior to placing the order or engaging a contractor gives the best possible results.

(3) How are you going to advertise my home and what will this cost?

Some of the best advice I have been given relates to an agent qualifier. This is a tool that can be used by prospective sellers to interview agents and ensure that the person they are about to engage is suitable for the role. There are around 15 questions on the full agent qualifier questionnaire.

2 years

(4) How many houses have sold in my neighbourhood recently? (5) What is your commission and will you negotiate this? All agents are working for the Vendors under the new real estate regulations and most agents will manage to sell a house, but it is the top performing agents that get the results. They may not be your best friend, but you are paying them a significant amount of money to sell your home and you want to make sure that they have achieved the best result for you.

As a start, I have included the first five and I would recommend that the next time you are looking to sell your house, sit down with the agent and run through these questions. You may be surprised at the answers you receive and it will certainly give you more information to make an informed choice on who you want to market your property.

covering Mid Canterbury...

Finding a family-friendly home A

s a parent, you want to give your children the very best, but this can be difficult when moving to a new home is concerned. Instead of just finding an affordable place where you can rest your head, you’ll need to step outside the box to find a neighbourhood and a house that will become a home, which is not just good, but great for your children. The location of your home can be just as important as the dwelling itself. Not only is a safe neighbourhood important for children, who don’t always make the best choices, but a good school is conducive to raising well-informed and educated adults. There are a number of factors that you and your family should take into consideration when selecting the area in which you would like to live, including schools, parks, medical facilities and access to other recreational activities. It pays to be diligent and research the suburb of the town of your specific interest. Try to take into consideration the community’s growth potential and future outlook. If it is an area that a lot of people are moving away from, take into consideration the possibility of local facilities, including the school, closing down. If you are intending on making this your home for the long-term, don’t forget to look at the long-term education possibilities for your children. This allows you to investigate an area thoroughly to see if it meets with the needs of your family. Taking a drive around near-by streets will give you excellent clues as to what the neighbourhood is like. Children’s toys, trampolines, bicycles will indicate if there are many other families on the street, or you might see groups of mother’s walking by pushing strollers. Don’t be scared to knock on a couple of doors to get a feel for the neighbours. You’ll know the history of the street in no-time, and if the recipients of your door-knock are rude, then perhaps it’s not the type of neighbourhood you want to raise your children in anyway. This

is also a great time to traverse the neighborhood and try the restaurants, shops and community activities. Make an appointment to visit the local childhood education facilities and see if it is the type of environment that would be stimulating for your child. Even if your child is only at pre-school now, visit the primary school to ensure it provides the facilities that you desire for your child’s development. Cost is another important factor when moving, and the correct mix of salary to expense ratio can signify if the area is right for you. After you have nailed down a specific area that you feel is the best fit for your family, it’s time to look at the available properties and see which one fills the majority of the tick boxes. Remember no one home is likely to fulfil every hope and desire you have, so focus on the points that are essential to you, and don’t get hung up on small details that can easily be changed. The next logical step is to figure out what tops your list of essential features, and what’s less of a priority. Online real estate services make it simple to narrow down your choices, and taking a virtual tour can be as simple as the click of a button. However, a family home should be more than aesthetically pleasing, and selecting something that will be a wise investment should be an important factor in your decision making process.

even get a little messy with paint. If the toys and art supplies are kept out of the bedroom, children find it much easier to keep their rooms clean, and it becomes a better environment to study in with less distraction. For the benefit of the cook in the house, consider purchasing a property with a large kitchen, with plenty of bench space and storage. When you’ve reached the stage when you’re cooking dinner, baking cookies for a school event and making the children’s lunches for the following day, you soon become thankful for the additional space. Take safety into consideration and put yourself in the shoes of your child. Floor to ceiling windows and doors might look fantastic, but how will you prevent your child from running into them? As your search continues, remember that there’s no perfect place, but by sorting your priorities early, you’re more likely to find one that best-suits your family’s needs. Best of luck in finding your home sweet home in a family-friendly neighbourhood.

A large-sized yard is generally the best way to make a positive long-term investment when it comes to buying a home, but also it gives your children a safe-haven to grow and play in. Backyard cricket, spotlight and hide and go seek are much more fun when there is a large space to run around in, and it’s safer than sending your children to the nearby park. A wellfenced section should be a priority also, but not a deal-breaker, as this can easily be resolved at a later stage. A quiet street is an advantage, as not only will it make falling asleep easier, but when the tennis ball gets hit over the fence, it’s less dangerous for your children to go and retrieve it.

covering Mid Canterbury... Master bedroom makeover

By Amanda Wright

As you stretch your weary muscles, the stress of the day escapes through your toes as your head hits the pillow. Your face is gently cradled by feathers and your body seeps into a soft mattress. You feel like you are floating on a cloud, wrapped in silk, with the scent of warm vanilla and cinnamon sending you off to a land of pleasant dreams and restful sleep. If this sounds too good to be true, then perhaps it’s time to consider a master bedroom makeover. Transforming your master bedroom from so-so into a soothing haven takes time and thought. Firstly consider what it is you want to achieve from the space. Often it’s neglected in favour of the living area or kitchen, simply because you don’t often invite your guests into your bedroom, but considering you spend on average eight hours or more in bed, it’s time to put your own needs in front of impressing the neighbours. Master bedrooms are often plagued by ineffectual lighting and messy mis-matched furnishings. A lack of storage often sees clothing and shoes strewn across the floor, along with a motley collection of rugs only used to keep your feet warm

room. Blend it seamlessly with your chosen wall colour, keeping with your silver, golden or green tone.

on chilly winter mornings. The art that’s too tacky for the lounge gets put in the bedroom, and books and other nic-nacs make the room look disheveled. To top it all off, sheets are old and scratchy, pillowcases don’t match the duvet and the rest of the bed clothes are dull and drab.

Your bedroom needs functionality, so make sure that your bedside cabinets are practical enough for storage as well as adding to the sophistication of the room. Invest in quality sheets, pillows and coverings to aid in a restful sleep as well to increase the level of plushness in the room.

Turning your drab into fab really isn’t as much of a mission as it may seem. After the space is tidy and clutter be-gone, often you are left with a clear palette of potential, with underappreciated space. Choose key accent pieces that make a statement, such as a large and ornate wall mirror, a detailed chandelier that will cast a graceful pattern of light onto the ceiling and plush bed toppers. Keep ‘serene and beautiful’ in mind. Your bedroom is for rest, relaxation and romance, so choose fabrics, colours and textures to embody that feel, promoting restful sleep and a tranquil atmosphere. Begin with a calming yet classy colour for your walls, such as a pale silver, soft beige or mint green and then choose an accent colour to compliment. Bright yellow pops against silver, while Emerald green, very on-trend this year, works well with a pale mint, or with golden and copper tones. To liven up the space, a recessed wall behind the bed gives added dimension, and the addition of feature lights will make a show-stopping piece. Without getting out the hammer and nails, a feature wall using bold wallpaper can have a similar effect. Your feature wall should be interesting in texture or pattern, but it shouldn’t look like someone spewed a wall in the

Don’t be scared to add furniture. Creating a sitting area within your bedroom, provided the space allows, adds class as well as comfort. When the kids are running rampant in the lounge or the boys are having a sports night, think of your bedroom as being your special retreat. Include a lounger or comfortable chair complete with a small table and footstool for sublime comfort. Include lighting suitable for reading and have your favourite fragrance nearby, such as vanilla soy melts or cinnamon incense. Get rid of tacky art off the wall, honestly if it’s too bad to put out in public, it has no business being in your bedroom. Sell it or store it, but don’t display it if it doesn’t fit the design. A large feature mirror will add class as well as depth to the room. It’s also an essential feature to ensure that you look just as glamorous as your new room. Get inspired and splash some fresh ideas into your sleepy space. You may awaken more than just your senses.

More Kiwis using their smartphones to buy goods By Matthew Backhouse

iwi companies have been too slow in using the internet to grow their business – and those who ignore smartphones and tablets could lose out on customers, a Google executive warns. The comments come as Google yesterday released new research showing more New Zealanders are using smartphones than ever before, with more than half owing a smartphone and almost a third using them to purchase goods online. Google New Zealand manager Tony Keusgen said businesses were still thinking in terms of mobile versus desktops or tablet. “But they really need to be thinking about multiple screens and how do they engage consumers across all of hose multiple screens, and start thinking about the context in which people are behaving rather than just which particular screen they are looking at.”

Mr Keusgen said the research showed New Zealanders were using multiple screens – computers, tablets and smartphones – the whole day, every day. “The last thing now that Kiwis are seeing, would you believe, when they’re going to sleep isn’t their partner – it’s actually their smartphone screen.” Almost three-quarters of New Zealanders had researched a product on their smartphone, and one third had gone on to make a purchase on their mobile. “That’s staggering, it has really big implications. It wasn’t that long ago that people maybe didn’t see mobile as a purchase device, but now we’re seeing a huge propensity in that behaviour.” But Mr Keusgen warned Kiwi businesses had not really understood this shift in behaviour. He said businesses had been “too slow” in using the internet to grow business, with two-thirds lacking a web presence – and they needed to act now. “They’re still in this mindset of mobile versus desktop in terms of how they market to consumers, so right now they really need to

think about multi-screen,” he said. “Consumers don’t really draw a distinction between mobile and desktop. They just think in terms of context – what do I need right now, what’s been a trigger for me?” Mr Keusgen said businesses should have a presence across all devices, but the vast majority of New Zealand businesses did not even have a mobile optimised website. That’s bad news for Kiwi companies, given the research found 61 per cent of mobile users were unlikely to return to a website if they had trouble accessing it from their phone. “So if they’re having a bad experience on their phone or their smart device, it’s unlikely they’re going to go back and have a second go at it.” And the demand for information about local businesses is strong, with nine out of 10 smartphone owners searching for a local company on their phone - and 87 per cent taking action as a result. The research, conducted by IPSOS MediaCT, found 54 per cent of New Zealanders now owned a smartphone, on par with the United States (56 per cent) but still shy of Australia (65 per cent).

Of the Kiwis who researched a product on their smartphone, a third went on to buy the product on their phone, while 38 per cent went on to buy it using a desktop and the rest in person. Meanwhile, an independent study of New Zealanders who regularly use media has found they think newspaper ads are more trusted and reliable than other advertising media – and the ads in newspapers and magazines are the least intrusive. The research, commissioned by News Works and conducted by TNS, was based on 12 faceto-face interviews and an online survey of 747 readers aged 15-74. News Works executive director Jenny Stiles said the findings firmly reinforced that newspapers had an important role to play alongside other media as part of any overall marketing strategy. “While timeliness is important to some advertisers, there is no substitute for a medium that provides a reading experience that is conducive to the cut-through and processing of the advertising within.” - APNZ

Models pose with a Samsung’s 55-inch curved OLED TV in South Korea.

Televisions go curvy Flat screens have been a selling point for TVs for more than a decade. Now, LG and Samsung are making a selling point of screens that are not flat. The two Korean electronics companies are launching TVs in the US that have concave screens, where the middle bends away from the viewer. That’s the opposite of the convex bulge of the old cathode-ray tube TVs. The idea, the companies say, is to have the viewer see the

screen straight on, even at the edges. The sets have a suggested price of $15,000. The curved sets are made possible by a technological breakthrough — the picture is formed by a thin, bendable layer of organic lightemitting diodes. OLED screens are common in high-end smartphones, but larger sizes are difficult to make, accounting for the high price - AP of the new sets.

Clash of up-front titans By Patrick McKendry

Brodie Retallick Chiefs Age: 22 Physical: 2.04m, 115kg Tests: 14 Test debut: 2012 v Ireland Super rugby debut: 2012

What is shaping up as an epic semi-final deserves a similarly gigantic subplot. While the headlines before this sudden-death clash at Waikato Stadium will invariably feature the likes of Aaron Cruden and Dan Carter, the match-up likely to have the most impact, both in terms of fleshand-bone collision and game-winning quality, is Brodie Retallick v Sam Whitelock. The battle of the big men is likely to decide this encounter because their respective locking partners aren’t bad either. Hometown skipper Craig Clarke would have been an All Black this year if he wasn’t leaving for Ireland at the end of the season, and Luke Romano is second or third on the All Blacks’ pecking order, a powerful, skilful player who, like Retallick, made his debut for the national team last year. Chiefs v Crusaders Waikato Stadium, 7.45pm tomorrow Chiefs: Gareth Anscombe Lelia Masaga

But it is the clash between Retallick and Whitelock which has set the rugby purists’ pulses racing. Both are young - Retallick is 22 and Whitelock 24 - and both made their All Blacks debuts in their first season of Super rugby. Together they are an almost perfect combination - the grunt and hardness of Retallick gelling with the skills and aerial ability of Whitelock. In opposing teams they are the personification of the immovable object and the irresistible force. Both are extremely competitive individuals, and while Retallick has traditionally had a harder edge to his game - there are few better at clearing rucks - Whitelock appears to be learning that with his size and technique he can do a lot of damage to the opposition. The other thing the pair have in common is an almost super-human workrate, a couple of giants in almost continual motion. Sir Colin Meads, an All Black lock from another era but still considered one of the best players New Zealand has produced, believes Retallick and Whitelock will be counted among the greats once they eventually hang up their boots. “Whitelock’s the all-round player he’s got everything,” Meads said. “He’s their go-to man from kick-offs, he’s pretty keen to take the ball which is always a great sign. “Brodie’s a big rough guy who gets stuck into everything. They’re different but both very good. “They’re both pretty fit young guys

and they have a tremendous workrate. They can keep it up for 80 minutes if they have to.” Meads added: “There’s a lot of depth there now. That was one of our worries a couple of years ago, that we wouldn’t have the locks to carry on, but they’ve really come right. “I just think New Zealand’s lucky that we’ve got three great locks. “They’re all young, they’re going to be here for a few years yet.” Retallick and Whitelock are both from outside their franchise catchment areas. Retallick was born in Rangiora, North Canterbury, and travelled north in search of greater rugby opportunities. Whitelock, one of four brothers all playing for the Crusaders, was born in Palmerston North and travelled south for similar reasons. Whitelock’s importance to the All Blacks was brought home when he returned early after a finger injury to play in last month’s second test against Ireland in Christchurch when Retallick was crocked by a hamstring strain. It was Retallick’s first significant injury of his career - his second is the high ankle sprain he has recently recovered from. Both have made big strides this season, but it is Whitelock who has perhaps made the most significant ones. Springbok Andries Bekker was talked about as being the best lock in the world before his Stormers team played the Crusaders in Cape Town this season. Afterwards it was all about Whitelock following a 19-14 victory in which he played a leading role, his carry and

offload sending Matt Todd away for his side’s only try. Bekker, all 2.08m of him, was also completely shut out in the lineouts at Newlands. Meads, who played 55 tests in an extraordinary All Black career which started in 1957 and ended in 1971, said the skill level of the modern lock was a little different to the player running around in his day. “They’re all taller. And with the lifting in the lineouts and all these sorts of things, it’s changed. “They make me feel small - they’re all three or four inches taller than I was (Pinetree was listed as 1.92m in his playing days). They’re big guys and athletic too, they’re not big plodders, they’re big athletes. “Whitelock’s skill levels are fantastic. He’s obviously a great runner with the ball, good around the field and you trust him to take the kick-offs and everything that’s going.” If he had to choose between the pair, Meads said he would have to go for the Crusader. “Whitelock’s the all-round player who would give you more over the whole game ... he’s developed so much over the last year or so.”- APNZ Marshall, Ben Afeaki, Michael Fitzgerald, Sam Cane, Augustine Pulu, Bundee Aki, Robbie Robinson.

The importance of discipline has been stressed as the Crusaders prepare for tomorrow’s Super Rugby semi-final against the Chiefs in Hamilton. The one blemish from the Crusaders’ 38-9 victory over the Reds last weekend was they conceded 10 penalties to only six from the Queenslanders. “In those tight games, either illdiscipline or making poor choices can really hurt you,” Crusaders coach Todd Blackadder said. “We’re not here to get bonus points, you’re just here to win. “Like the kicker not putting the guys onside as an example, we gave at least six points [away] in last week’s game. “We really didn’t need to. “Discipline in these big games is just as critical as catching the ball.” The Crusaders named an unchanged 22 with All Black skipper Richie McCaw again on the bench and Matt Todd, the top ball carrier last week with nine bursts for 55m, set to wear the No 7 jersey again. Blackadder said McCaw was mentally okay to start. “But I just think maybe his form might not be where it needs to be in these really high intensity games, and that would be putting him under a lot of pressure.” They had resisted making change for the sake of change this week and wanted to reward the players who had been performing really well, Blackadder said. “We trust all our bench to get out there and make an impact, and that could possibly be the winning and losing of the game.” The teams go into a match, which looks a dynastic decider for New

The V8 Supercars drought broke for the Holden Racing Team (HRT) last round but key driver Garth Tander admits they will be feeling a little underprepared when they arrive for the Ipswich event this weekend. Tander ended long suffering, factory-backed HRT’s 58-race winless streak with a stirring last-start victory in Townsville in a one-two finish with teammate James Courtney. It also marked HRT’s first quinella since Sandown in 2009. However, Tander admitted yesterday that Melbourne-based HRT would again be behind the eight ball at Ipswich’s Queensland Raceway - the test track for a majority of their V8 foes including Holden front-runners Jamie Whincup and Craig Lowndes. - AAP

Manly star Foran is one of Pearce’s closest friends and one of the first people he spoke to after NSW’s 12-10 defeat to Queensland last Wednesday. The halfback was made the scapegoat by many for the Blues’ loss, which extended the Maroons’ vice-like Origin grip to eight years. But he responded in blistering fashion with a superb display in the Roosters’ 40-0 win over Cronulla last Saturday - a result that saw the Tri Colours installed as new premiership favourites. - AAP

Kiwi golfers in top form Three Kiwi golfers sit firmly inside the top 25 players on the Web.com Tour money list and are looking to gain automatic qualification for next season’s PGA Tour. Tim Wilkinson is in eighth place, Danny Lee is in ninth and Steven Alker is in 21st. They were continuing their charge for the PGA Tour overnight at the Albertsons Boise Open in Idaho. The Web.com Tour has reported that Wilkinson and Lee are already on their way to the PGA Tour. Projecting a benchmark of US$142,000 to stand safe, 11 players can join leader Michael Putnam in eyeing the PGA Tour’s fall start - Edward Loar, Chesson Hadley, Ben Martin, Alex Aragon, Will Wilcox, Tim Wilkinson ($182,646), Danny Lee ($162,463), Benjamin Alvarado, Brendon Todd, Kevin Kisner and Jim Renner. The benchmark is based on an average of $6,750 per scheduled event, a ratio that has held fairly steady for the past

four men to finish No 25. Of that top 11 players all but Wilkinson, Lee and Renner have won events this year. Both Wilkinson and Lee have produced a half-dozen top15 finishes. “Winning’s still a goal,” Wilkinson said. “It’ll be very difficult to win the money list without winning.” Finishing No. 1 on the money list brings two added perks - the top spot in the Web.com graduating class, exempt from the quarterly reshuffle in priority status, as well as a berth in The Players Championship. Alker, who won the Utah Championship two weeks ago, is currently on US$127,116 and likely needs another $15,000 to secure his place on the PGA Tour. Meanwhile, over in Europe, Michael Campbell will look to get his season back on track at the Russian Open. Campbell, who has missed the cut in

his three previous events to be 171st on the Race to Dubai Standings, is playing the first two rounds alongside England’s Robert Rock and India’s Jeev Milka Singh. The former US Open champion is playing the Russian Open for the first time. He began the year well with two top20 finishes in the United Arab Emirates but has struggled since with a 74th at the Nordea Masters his best result since January. In Scotland, world No 1 amateur Lydia Ko will play at the Home of Golf, St Andrews, for the first time when she tees it up next week in the women’s British Open. The 16-year-old from the Gulf Harbour Country Club finished tied seventh last week at the Marathon Classic in Ohio to claim her seventh top-10 finish of the year. She returns to the British Open after finishing as the leading amateur in 2012. - APNZ

Tall Black rookies on show

• College battles Bede’s ONLINE.co.nz

Swingman Tom Abercrombie will bring some much-needed experience to the Tall Blacks for their second outing against China in Luoyang tonight but he is likely to start from the bench. Having played limited minutes with the Phoenix Suns in the NBA’s summer league recently, Abercrombie was due to arrive in China yesterday. Tall Blacks coach Nenad Vucinic said it would be unfair to put the 26-year-old straight in to the fire from the opening tip. “We don’t really expect, initially, too much of Tom,” Vucinic said in a conference call yesterday. “He has been in summer league, he has been in summer workouts plus he really hasn’t played a game of basketball since the end of the Breakers season and that was three months ago. “So I think he will struggle probably with a game performance and we hope towards the end of the tour he’s going to be back to his best.” Vucinic was positive in his assessment of his side’s 79-67 loss to China in game one in Yinchuan on Wednesday. The Tall Blacks fielded a handful of teenagers in the contest against a powerful Chinese outfit that included former NBA player Wang Zhizhi, who top-scored for the home side with 13 points. Wellington Saints guard Corey Webster dropped 19 points for the Tall Blacks, while BJ Anthony added 11 and a host of others got on the score sheet in some capacity. Vucinic’s side held an unlikely

13-point lead mid-way through the third quarter but that was when their inexperience started to show as a combination of early foul trouble, local referees and a vocal crowd of 6000 saw China rally to take an advantage they would never relinquish. The youngsters Izayah Mauriohooho Le’afa, Brook Ruscoe, Reuben Te Rangi, Jordan Ngatai and centre Jack Salt all contributed, while Te Rangi (19) and Salt (17) started. “All five of our rookies proved that they can play at international level,” Vucinic said. “They have got a long way to go but we can immediately see the mental ability and also the talent that goes with it that is needed for this level.” China have spent the past two months together as they build up towards the Fiba Asia Championship that will be held in the Philippines next month. “They are a big team right across the board,” Vucinic said of the Chinese. “Right across the board, from shooting guard to centre, they probably have three or four inches on us.” Vucinic expected a more rigorous examination tonight. “The second game will be much tougher, I believe. “The Chinese didn’t know threequarters of our team and now they will make adjustments,” he said. “It is up to us to make adjustments as well and to play harder and better.” Following tonight’s test, the Tall Blacks have more games in China before they head home to meet Australia on August 14 at the North Shore Events Centre. - APNZ

Local equestrians will be hoping for clear skies for the final round of the Winter Dressage Series at the Ashburton Showgrounds on Sunday. The series had back-toback years of perfect weather to be able to complete all three days over the winter months, but this year’s second round was washed out with the wet weather in June meaning this year’s series will be a best of two, leaving a lot riding on Sundays sessions. James Waddell was the overall winner on day one looking at keeping the Blue Heaven Trophy, the overall series winner trophy, in the family after Elizabeth Waddell and Navara 2 were the overall winners last year. The Winter Series is used as training days but is well attended with around 90 entries, with riders testing their mounts and themselves ahead of the regular season. The Ashburton Dressage Group’s major competition, the All Grades Regional Dressage Tournament, is on September 1.

Hibiscus Coast goalie Gareth Lewis is wrong-footed by the finishing touch from Nelson Royals’ Vani Bawi in the Friendship Football Tournament final at the Ashburton Domain yesterday.

Nelson takes Friendship honours By Jonathan Leask Nelson Royal reigned supreme in the final of the Friendship Football tournament beating Hibiscus Coast 4-1 in the final to win the Japan Cup at the Ashburton Domain yesterday. The two teams had dominated the tournament on the way to the final, but Nelson Royal put one hand on the trophy with two goals in quick succession mid-way through the first half to lead Hibiscus Coast 2-0 at the break.

Hibiscus Coast hadn’t travelled all the way from Auckland to give up and produced a spirited fightback, but their lone second half strike wasn’t enough as Nelson added another two goals to take the victory. Nelson Royal had earlier advanced to the final with a 3-2 win over Canterbury Red, while Hibiscus Coast had ended the hopes of the visiting Japanese team with a 6-1 win. It was a then a dramatic ending for Hosoe, going down to Canterbury Red in a penalty shootout in the

playoff for third, having led 4-3 heading into the final few minutes. Canterbury Red equalised before Hosoe struck what they thought was the winner heading into the final minute, but Canterbury earned a free kick and the shot from the mark beat the agonisinglyclose attempt from the keeper with second left on the clock. The two teams then lined up on halfway and sent the goalkeepers to the box. At 6-6 on penalties Hosoe stepped up only for the Canterbury Red goalie to make a diving one-handed

save to his right to snatch the advantage, and their seventh player stepped up and slotted home the winner for Canterbury Red to claim third. Mid Canterbury had started the day with a 4-2 win over Waimak, but then went down to Central Otago 6-2 to finish sixth out of the 15 teams. The Mid Canterbury-Hosoe Combined side were well beaten 13-0 by South Canterbury Green, but they finished the tournament on a high with a 3-2 win over Eastern Southland.

Warriors have Big Three to contend with By Michael Brown

Cameron Smith and Billy Slater: Two of the mighty Storm triumvirate

Even Melbourne coach Craig Bellamy refers to them as The Big Three and the returns of Cameron Smith, Cooper Cronk and Billy Slater have made a tough task at Mt Smart Stadium even more difficult for the Warriors on Sunday. The visitors won’t need much motivation after their abject 39-0 defeat to the Bulldogs in their last outing a fortnight ago - when they were without The Big Three - and Bellamy is patently aware they have lost three of their last four. Warriors coach Matt Elliott might have also given the Storm squad a little more ammunition. “In my opinion, Cameron Smith is the best player in the game, not because of what he does individually but what he makes his team and the influence he has on his team,” Elliott said.

“The other two can see the best player in the game from where they are standing so they have a huge impact. “You take one guy out of that team - they played a grand final [without Smith in 2008] and didn’t win that one - but you take those three guys out of that team and they are not a top-four team, maybe not a top-eight team. “That’s not being disrespectful to the other players they have there, it’s just acknowledging how amazing those guys are.” It’s why Elliott isn’t using footage from last weekend’s game in his analysis of the opposition. “The Storm are a completely different outfit without Smith, Cronk and Slater, and they also welcome back Ryan Hoffman from Origin duty. But the Warriors have traditionally done well against the Storm. They should have beaten them

in Melbourne on Anzac Day, and ruined their title hopes in 2011 and dented them in 2008. They have recorded the secondmost wins by any club over the Storm behind the Bulldogs and 12 of the 15 clashes between these two sides at Mt Smart have been decided by 10 points or less. The Warriors also go into the game on the back of six wins in their last seven. “They didn’t play well against the Wests Tigers last weekend but did enough in trying circumstances (they were coming off the bye and it was Benji Marshall’s last game at Leichhardt Oval, a venue they have traditionally struggled at) to win 24-14. A lot of it was down to halfback Shaun Johnson, who collected 16 points and who has aspirations to be as influential as some of the players he will come up against on Sunday.

The Warriors have three former Storm players in their ranks - Todd Lowrie, Dane Nielsen and Nathan Friend - and for Lowrie it’s a game he’s looking forward to. Not because it’s against his old club but because of what it represents. “I think it’s a good game for us at the moment, to play a top side,” he said. “While we want to win every one, you want to know you are capable of playing the good sides who are going to be around in September. “There’s no point just getting there and being bundled out straight away, you want to know you can compete with the good sides. It’s irrelevant who we are playing [this weekend], we need to win.” Warriors side to play Melbourne on Sunday (2pm): Kevin Locke, Ngani Laumape, Dane Nielsen, Konrad Hurrell, Manu Vatuvei, Thomas Leuluai, Shaun Johnson, Sam Rapira, Nathan Friend, Ben Matulino, Feleti Mateo, Simon Mannering, Elijah Taylor. Interchange: Suaia Matagi, Jacob Lillyman, Todd Lowrie, Dominique Peyroux. - APNZ

Netballers eye premier semis Plenty riding on derby match By Jonathan Leask The race for the premier semifinals of the premier netball competition heats up from round one tomorrow. The top six sides in the district now start their second half of the season looking to clinch a semi-final spot in five weeks’ time, and for two sides that could all hinge on their opening effort. There will be some tired legs in the College A side for their crunch clash with Hampstead A. The two sides

battled hard earlier in the season with Hampstead emerging on top of a see-saw battle 24-21, that was only decided in the closing stages. A win is key for both teams as they are tipped to be fighting for the fourth semi-final berth as, based on form so far, Celtic A, Methven A and United A should fill the top three rungs on the ladder. Celtic A swept through the senior A round unbeaten and should prove too strong for College B following a 44-18 result in the first round, to make it eight wins in a row, while College B will be keen to show they

are not just there to make up the numbers. Defending premiers Methven A face United A for a second straight round, albeit with two weeks inbetween the matches. Played on a Monday night, Methven ended the senior A round with a 28-23 win over United after they established a five-goal lead early in the first quarter, before the sides essentially went goal-for goal to the final whistle. A strong start from either could again be the difference, in the match and come the semi-finals.

By Jonathan Leask Defending champions Wakanui Black haven’t tasted defeat in the 2013 season and have only been without a win twice in the MidSouth Canterbury hockey competition. On both occasions they have walked off the turf with the scores drawn they were shaking hands their Wakanui Blue counterparts. The two sides have played out two stalemates, with their most recent 0-0 draw more a reflection on the

conditions than the evenness of the teams, with sun-strike a major factor. Black carried a nine point advantage over into the top-four round, and their win over Timaru Boys’ a fortnight ago guarantees them top seeding and a home semi-final on August 17, and then potentially a home final to clinch what they desperately seek, a Walker and Hall Shield hat-trick. But Blue will be looking to upstage Black to make their own push for a home semi-final of their own. Following the Wakanui derby

Tinwald take on Cambridge in the bottom-four. The senior women’s competition enters their playoffs, working on a cross-pool system where the top three teams - St Andrews, Craighead and Geraldine - play the bottom three of Pleasant Point, Timaru Girls’ and Hampstead. Hampstead are up against Craighead, which they beat 2-1 just under a month ago and have also registered a win over Pleasant Point, but defending champions St Andrews have proved a step to far so far this season.

Fast start vital for Walker By Kris Shannon

Sarah Walker: ‘All I can do is give the best performance I can.’

When a BMX race can be decided by the opening corner, flying down the ramp near the front of the field is imperative. With a fast start the priority, riders require the full use of their limbs to propel their bikes, weighing less than 10kg, out of the starting gate at speed. Sarah Walker, however, broke her right arm four weeks ago. She was still wearing a heavy brace yesterday and, after a month of limited activity, managed to complete a full

array of jumps only on Wednesday. The start is where she feels the most pain. The fracture she suffered to her radius still protests when Walker pulls herself from the top of the ramp, attempting to accrue maximum downward momentum, aching to get to that first corner in front. The pain will not prevent Walker from riding in the elite women’s field at this weekend’s world championships at Auckland’s Vector Arena. After all, the face of BMX in this country was not going to let a minor malady like a broken arm prevent her from racing in front of her

home fans. But she can’t make any promises about her performance her arm made sure of that, leaving the 25-year-old just as curious as the crowd. “I don’t actually know [of my prospects]. I wouldn’t have a clue,” she said. “I know there’s a bit of expectation for me to just jump on my bike and win. Anything is possible, but I doubt it’s going to happen. All I can do is give the best performance I can.” The lowered expectations are understandable, given Walker’s preparation, and they’re only reinforced by her inhibition at the start line.

“The tricky part for me is going to be out of the start,” she said. “But I don’t think I’ll have doubt in my mind - all I can do is get the best start I can with what I’m given. I just want to give the best start I can and I really don’t know where that’s going to put me at the moment.” Even if it fails to put her on the podium, Walker’s mere participation is in itself a boon for the event. Her personable nature, combined with world championship gold in 2009 and Olympic silver in 2012, makes Walker an ideal ambassador for BMX in New Zealand - APNZ

The Ashburton College 1st XV take on the unbeaten St Bede’s in the Crusaders Secondary Schools’ rugby competition tomorrow. College went close to tipping up defending champions Christchurch Boys’ but will need to lift again against the competition frontrunners. College has clashed with St Bedes twice since re-entering the competition in 2010 suffering a 97-0 loss that year, the last time they ventured to Main North Road in Christchurch, and then had a much improved 5-31 effort in 2012. This will be their first clash in the top eight with the four-time winners but College will be full of confidence after proving their place against CBHS. College then face a short turnaround playing Christ’s College at home on Wednesday.

• Barbarians banished The Ashburton Barbarians season is over after their 20-24 loss to the Addington Magpies in their knockout semi-final in Canterbury Rugby League division two last week. The Barbarians finished in the division one top eight but were in the bottom four to be in division two, however, the loss sees them hang up the boots for the season while the Magpies advance to tomorrow’s preliminary final against the Aranui Eagles for a place in the grand-final against the Riccarton Knights B. In division one the unbeaten Sydenham Swans moved directly into next week’s grand final after beating the Shirley Hawks, who now play the Burnham Chevaliers for a place in the grand-final.

• Netballers crash out The Mid Canterbury under 17 netball team finished without a win at the National Championships in Hastings. Five losses in pool play and cross over matches had had Mid Canterbury in the last place playoff against Whangarei but they came up short again, suffering a 35-21 win to take the wooden spoon. The team had battled a disrupted build-up with three players suffering ankle injuries in a Dunedin tournament a week out from the nationals which contributed to the 33rd placing after Mid Canterbury were 22nd last year. The tournament was won by Christchurch after they beat Auckland 37-31.

• Boys bounce back After a tough opening day where they conceded over 200 points the Canterbury Country boys’ bounced back to claw past Counties Manukau 71-69 at the under 15 National Basketball Championships in Wellington yesterday. The boys were overpowered by Waikato Red and North Harbour on day one but kicked off day two with the two point win before they won 87-84 against Southland. The Canterbury Country under 15 girls’ went down to Otago A 42-70. The girls’ had started their tournament with a win over Hawkes Bay but lost their second match to Porirua. In Nelson the Canterbury Country under 19 boys’ had lost both their pool games on Wednesday to move into the bottom five where they faced Taranaki last night.

• Aussies like Ashtons If your name’s Ashton, you’re from Western Australia, and you can spin the ball, a call up to the national team may not be far away. In today’s tour match against Sussex in Brighton, Ashton Agar will be joined in the Australian side by WA stablemate and good friend Ashton Turner. The 20-year-old Turner is a development player on scholarship from the AIS Centre of Excellence and will experience the rare feat of making his first class debut for country instead of state. Agar was also spoken of as ‘development player’, but was a shock selection for the first Test, however Turner genuinely is with the squad as a learning experience. - AAP

CLASH OF THE TITANS AS CRUSADERS MEET THE CHIEFS P21 | WARRIORS HAVE THE BIG THREE TO CONTEND WITH P22

From the sideline

Methven’s previous meeting with Celtic this season was also in Methven, on a cold Queens Birthday Monday, where the hosts claimed a 20-15 win, while last year’s Watters Cup final at the Ashburton Showgrounds was a 20-13 score-line in favour of Methven. Methven is looking to be the first team to successfully defend the Watters Cup outright since Celtic’s run of four titles from 1997-to-2000. Southern won the trophy three years straight from 2000 to 2007 but shared the cup with Celtic in 2006, the last time Celtic won it. Up until last year’s shock loss to Celtic, Southern had featured in 11 straight Watters Cup finals, with their last the 0-15 loss to Rakaia and the 2011 finalists go head-to-head in Rakaia tomorrow. The two sides met in Rakaia, also on the Queen’s Birthday Monday, with Southern leading at 9-3 at halftime only to be run down by Rakaia 9-21.

Jay Aitken, 18, will be playing in his first Watters Cup semi-final against Celtic tomorrow.

By Myles Hume

In last season’s Watters Cup final Jay Aitken was just another youngster in awe of what was being played out in front of him. Tomorrow the Methven teenager will take centre stage in the competition’s semifinal, when his senior side takes on Celtic in a replay of last year’s final. “I was on the sideline last year, I never thought that I would be playing with them at all, they were all a bit faster and a bit bigger than me,” he said. It has been a rapid rise for

the 18-year-old, who started this season in the Methven under 18 side before a run of injuries in the club’s senior squad provided an opportunity. His father pushed him to make his place in the senior team, leaving his friends behind in the U18 grade to join a team he knew little about. Since then, Aitken has been a regular starter either at centre, wing or fullback, and has proved a lucky charm with the team hitting a five-game winning streak before their loss to Rakaia at the weekend. “At the beginning of the season I was half the player I am

now, having the likes of Davey (David Maw) at first five and other players around me, they have made a huge difference. “They have taught me it’s all about talking on the field, especially on defence,” he said. Aitken has been a rock in the midfield defences despite his slight build, and has notched up five tries for the senior side this season. “I’m usually a fullback but the coaches put me in at centre this year where I haven’t played much. “But centre has definitely grown on me, it’s good because I get my hands on the ball a bit more and I’m

more involved.” His sharp form landed him a spot in the Mid Canterbury development squad who recently lost to Ellesmere, and he is now a hot contender for the number 13 jersey in the Mid Canterbury U18 squad. Aitken said he was unsure what his role would be in tomorrow’s semi-final when he lines up against Celtic and good friend Sean Strange, after he came down with a hip injury at a recent Cantabs training camp. However, he is confident his side can topple their opponents and have a shot at defending the Watters Cup in next week’s final.

By Jonathan Leask Southern will have three teams in open grade rugby playoffs tomorrow. The senior team from the Hinds-Mayfield amalgamation head to Rakaia looking to return to the Watters Cup final and a shot at senior rugby supremacy, but the club also has teams in the running in the next two grades down. The Southern senior B team host Collegiate in the Mid Canterbury Senior B semi-finals, while the Southern Colts are in the combined competition final. In 2012 Collegiate won the Michael Duff Memorial, the Centennial Mug and the Senior B championship, only missing out on the Beckley Cup which was won by Southern following a 10-all draw, because the cup’s unique rule has the second ranked team take it home in the event of a draw. Things have been a bit different this season with Southern clinching the Michael Duff Memorial, and Tinwald took

out round two for the Centennial Mug. Collegiate’s cupboard is looking bare but they could take some revenge on Southern in tomorrow’s semi-finals and go a step closer to defending the last trophy they still hold, but Southern will have other ideas looking to get one back on the team that beat them in last year championship final. The other semi-final has top seeds Tinwald host a resurgent Rakaia, who made a second round run to have the chance at a place in next week’s final. The Beckley Cup will then be played in Mt Somers a week after the final between Tinwald and holders Southern. Their senior teams are playing semifinals but the Southern Colts are playing for keeps, out to defend their title in the combined Mid Canterbury-Ellesmere competition, taking on Waihora in the final in Tai Tapu. Southern went through unbeaten last year to win the competition, and being the only Mid Canterbury under 21 team earned them the Mid Canterbury crown as well, and will again this year.
