Five things that may interest you

Prince George christened Dressed in a lace and satin gown designed in the 1840s, Britain’s threemonth-old future monarch, Prince George, was christened this week with water from the River Jordan at a rare gathering of four generations of the royal family. The occasion had historic overtones: the presence of Britain’s 87-year-old monarch and three future kings, Princes Charles, William and, of course, little George. He wore a replica of a christening gown made for Queen Victoria’s eldest daughter and first used in 1841. – AP

Hanson a dad again Pop star Zac Hanson and his wife Kate have become parents for the third time. The Mmmbop star’s spouse gave birth to another boy on October 17, giving son Shepherd, 5, and daughter Junia, 2, another sibling. “We are very excited to share the addition of George Abraham Walker Hanson to our growing family. Abraham is healthy and we are happily sharing a little down time together as a family,” the 28-yearold drummer told UsMagazine.com. The couple wed in 2006. – WENN

Quote of the day “Stow your twitchy palms ladies... our man is here. Welcome to #TeamFifty @ JamieDornan1.” – author EL James confirms actor Jamie Dornan has landed the role of Christian Grey in the movie adaptation of her erotic bestseller Fifty Shades of Grey after original choice Charlie Hunnam quit the project earlier in October. – WENN

Metallica to get their chill on Heavy rockers Metallica have confirmed reports suggesting they’re heading off to Antarctica for a historic gig at the bottom of the world. The Enter Sandman band will perform near the heliport of the continent’s Carlini Argentine Base on December 8 and fans from Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica and Mexico will sail in on a cruise ship as part of a CocaCola Zero contest. The cruise will set sail from Tierra del Fuego, the southernmost tip of South America, on December 3. Announcing the news officially online yesterday, the rockers write, “After 30 years as a band, we have been unbelievably fortunate to visit just about every corner of the earth ... except for one. That is all about to change as we are set to travel to Antarctica.” – WENN

Live tank shell anyone? It’s not often that a swap site transaction results in the evacuation of an apartment house. But then again, how often is one of the objects being traded a live tank shell? Austrian state broadcaster ORF says the shell was on offer as a dummy. It says police had to clear a Vienna apartment house of its residents and put up road blocks after establishing that it was in fact a fully functioning explosive. Yesterday’s report said police were called to examine the shell by its new owner shortly after she had exchanged two bottles of wine and a picture frame for it on an online swap site. – AP

■ ASHBURTON COUNCIL BUDGET

Ashburton Guardian

■ ASHBURTON A&P SHOW

Free lunches? Not here By Sue NewmaN

sue.n@the guardian.co.nz

Christchurch City Council might be fighting a ‘culture of entitlement’ when it comes to working lunches, but there is no such thing as a free lunch at the Ashburton District. Mayor elect for Christchurch city Lianne Dalziel has told her new team that if they want lunch on the job they should bring it from home or buy it out of their own pocket. Her cuts to the council’s food bill are part of her drive to show that councillors are working for their community. In Ashburton, there won’t be any change in lunching habits. The council’s catering for councillors was already pared back and the rules around who was entitled to eat on the job and who was not were already quite clear, mayor Angus McKay said. “If we have a committee meeting in the morning and there’s another meeting in the afternoon, if you’re at the first meeting you’re entitled to lunch but if you’re coming in for the second meeting only, then have your lunch before you come,” he said. And that lunch isn’t lavish.

Unless there are invited guests such as on citizenship occasions, it consists of sandwiches and savouries. Morning tea is spartan – cheese and crackers or plain bought biscuits and afternoon tea is either leftover lunch or more plain biscuits. There are no sit-down lunches and staff count heads before they order. “When I’m here working for the day there are no free lunches either. I buy my lunch or bring it from home. “I spread myself around the dairies usually,” Mr McKay said. He doesn’t frequent the staff cafeteria either in search of free food. If he wants a mid-afternoon snack, he pops $2 in the council snack box. Christchurch City’s catering bill in the last financial year for councillor lunches was more than $45,000. Because of the growing number of citizenship ceremonies and the large numbers of people now attending each event, it was difficult to accurately state how much was spent on councillor lunches and how much on formal occasions that guests attendances, Mr McKay said.

Spotlight falls on man’s best friend By GaBrielle Stuart gabrielle.s@theguardian.co.nz

They’ll leap, they’ll climb, they’ll retrieve balls and even do a bit of orienteering. With a theme that revolves around man’s best friend at the Ashburton A&P show this year, it’s the perfect opportunity for the Mid Canterbury Canine Obedience Club to feature at the show for the first time in more than 10 years. Organiser Debbie Woods expected close to 20 local dogs to take part in the displays, some

of which may be taking part as champions after competing in national dog training competitions around the country this weekend. She said the display would showcase how much dogs were capable of. “It’s really about showing the public what their dogs could do, if they’re willing to work hard enough. And your dog is going to absolutely love it. “No one is more enthusiastic about doing this than the dogs themselves.” The dogs would range from

small fox terriers to staffies, from poodles to working dogs, and she said that almost any breed could take part. And although many of the dogs had been training since they were little more than puppies, she said the old adage you can’t teach an old dog new tricks wasn’t entirely true. “It’s difficult, but it’s not impossible. With a lot of hard work, it can be done.” The dog obedience and agility displays will be held every hour and a half on both Friday and Saturday at the A&P show.

Stolen puppy recovered from an Auckland brothel A stolen puppy recovered from an Auckland brothel yesterday will be returned to its owner in Hamilton. The puppy, a chihuahua-papillon-pomeranian cross, was re-

covered more than a month after it was taken from a property in Melville, southern Hamilton. Police said it was stolen along with a breeding dog and another puppy on September 18.

Acting Detective Senior Sergeant Neville Ross said a description of a vehicle seen at the address had identified two sisters, aged 19 and and 21, who were arrested for burglary.

“As a result of their arrest, the breeding dog and one of the puppies were returned to the owner. “Follow-up enquiries led us to a third woman who had the dog

in Auckland, which we recovered today.” The stolen puppy was recovered at a brothel in Auckland yesterday, police said. - APNZ

■ BOB BURNETT

In brief

Daughter plans to tell dad’s story By Sue NewmaN

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Bob Burnett’s name would be one of the best known in the Ashburton District. He was the motor mechanic who founded a transport empire. His last surviving daughter Adrienne Francis is gathering information on her father’s life that will be used in a book by ghost writer Julie Brown. To compile a complete picture of her father’s life, Mrs Francis is looking for people who worked with him, traded with him or who stood alongside him

on his journey through life. Mrs Francis said she wanted to capture the essence of her father. She is looking for stories from people who worked for Burnetts, the clients he dealt with and from people who may have a family member, friend or associate of her father’s who may have died. People wanting to contribute information to the story of Bob Burnett’s life can sent their name or the name of their business to Julie@ghost-writer. co.nz Mr Burnett started his transport empire with just one truck

working from his Hinds workshop in 1927. In 1934, Mr Burnett bought an acre of land for 1200 pounds on the corner of East and South Streets, Ashburton, and built a new workshop and transport depot there. This is the same site where Rural Transport is located. He acquired a controlling interest in the Mt Somers coal mine. He also bought Mt Somers Station. In the 1950s, Burnetts expanded into earthmoving and was involved in several big hydro projects, including Manapouri, Roxburgh, Aviemore and Benmore.

By 1957, Burnetts owned more than 100 vehicles, employed almost 300 staff and was turning over more than two million pounds a year. His company merged with the Australian Brambles organisation in 1971, and became Brambles Burnett. In 1980, the Mogal Corporation acquired Brambles Burnett. Mr Burnett was still a director, but officially retired a year later, at the age of 72. In 1984, Owens Transport brought the Mogal Corporation, which saw the Ashburton trucking firm renamed Owens Burnett.

Tax credit to rise Low-income working families eligible for the minimum family tax credit will receive an increase from April 1 next year. Revenue Minister Todd McClay said the minimum family tax credit currently ensures families who work the minimum number of hours and are not receiving a benefit will have an after-tax income of $22,724 a year. “This will rise to $22,776 a year from 1 April 2014.” The minimum family tax credit provides a guaranteed minimum family income to families who are in work and ensures they are no worse off moving off a benefit and into paid employment. - APNZ

Robbery arrest Police arrested a man in relation to an aggravated robbery of a dairy after an officer recognised the car used in the incident. Waikato police detective senior sergeant Graham Pitkethley said police were called to dairy at Kerepehi, near Ngatea, after two men entered the store armed with a shotgun about 7.10am. “The offenders took cash, tobacco and cigarettes and were described fleeing in a green coloured car,” Mr Pitkethley said. “One of the responding officers knew of an offender living in Paeroa with a car matching the description of the getaway vehicle.” - APNZ

MPs retiring National MPs Paul Hutchison and Cam Calder will not seek reelection in next year’s election. Dr Hutchison is the MP for Hunua and was first elected in 1999. Dr Calder is a list MP who has stood in Manurewa. He was first elected in 2008. Their announcement yesterday means four National MPs have decided to bow out of politics. Internal Affairs Minister and Napier MP Chris Tremain and West Coast based list MP Chris Auchinvole have said they won’t seek re-election. - APNZ

Job losses confirmed Netherby School students show their support for the Mid Canterbury Hammers yesterday.

Netherby students show Hammers support There is little doubt which team the Netherby School community will be backing when the Mid Canterbury Hammers run on to the paddock to take on North Otago in today’s Meads Cup challenge.

The school’s green and gold uniform fitted in well with the support signs a number of students have created in preparation to the game. Paige Taylor’s sign sends a loud and clear message – Neth-

erby supports the Hammers. She will be at the showground’s this afternoon confident her team will deliver the goods, predicting a score of 2016 to the Hammers. “I’m sure they will win the

game,” she said. Messages written in chalk on the footpath outside the school yesterday also contributed to the air of confidence the students have in seeing the Meads Cup returned to Mid Canterbury.

Why is it so windy? By michelle NelSoN michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

The near constant north-west winds are a topic on everyone’s agenda over the past few weeks. Gale-force winds, cited as the fiercest storm since the 1975, wreaked havoc in Mid Canterbury on September 9. The scene was almost as bad on October 15. In the interim, the wind has continued to cause chaos with washing tangled on lines, or

worse – torn loose and blowing around the neighbourhood, tousled hair styles and frayed tempers. Daniel Corbett, from the MetService agrees. “It certainly has been an active spring of strong northwesters,” he said. The strong winds are a result of the tightening of the pressure gradient between low pressure south of New Zealand and high pressure to the north

Rotorua timber mill Tachikawa Forest Products terminated the jobs of its 130 employees yesterday. The employees were given their termination notices at a meeting at Huranga Te Rangi Marae, Ngapuna yesterday. Staff at the mill were told to start looking for new jobs last Friday, when receivers KordaMentha moved in, sending staff home. First Union officials, who represent about 90 of the mill’s 130 workers, met their members, receivers, Rotorua’s mayor-elect Steve Chadwick and MPs last week to discuss the mill’s future. - APNZ

Toxic algal bloom and east. The closer the lines – isobars – are on the weather map the stronger the winds. The winds blow clockwise around lows and counter-clockwise around highs in the southern hemisphere. The strong north-west winds that blow across Canterbury ahead of the frontal boundaries also accelerate as they come down the side of the alps. “We have had quite a windy spring in many parts of the

country compared to normal,” Mr Corbett said. “The southern ocean has been quite a breeding ground for lows in the past few weeks.” A new tightening of the pressure gradient to the west of the South Island could bring another spell of strong gusty northwesterlies today. These strong winds will ease back tomorrow and Monday. It will be mostly dry and fine and mild by day, according to Mr Corbett.

A potentially toxic algal bloom has appeared in Otago lakes. Samples from Lake Waihola and the Tomahawk Lagoon have confirmed the presence of blue-green algae. Otago Regional Council director of environmental information and science John Threlfall said the algae, part of the ‘cyanobacteria’ group, has potential to produce toxins which can cause illness in people and animals. People should not swim in the areas affected by the algae, and other water users such as boaties and fishers should use caution. - APNZ

Newly appointed Notary Public, Ashburton solicitor Alister Argyle.

New role steeped in tradition BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

The New Zealand Society of Notaries is a very small organisation, one with just 120 members, but it counts among its members Ashburton man, solicitor Alister Argyle. Notaries Public are New Zealand lawyers who have been authorised by the Archbishop of Canterbury in England to officially witness signatures on legal documents, collect sworn statements, administer oaths and certify the authenticity of legal documents usually for use overseas. It’s not an onerous job, Mr Argyle said, but it’s one that is steeped in tradition, dating back to the time of Henry VIII. The wording on his document of

Ashburton Guardian 5

appointment is archaic and is handwritten in cursive script. In the document, called a faculty, the Archbishop of Canterbury confirms that he is a ‘literate person,’ something he says his clients will be delighted to know. In some ways the position is that of an international Justice of the Peace, Mr Argyle said and an important part of the role involves official confirmation that a person having documents signed is who they say they are. And in a country where cultural changes are rapid, that can mean establishing the identity of women whose culture does not allow them to show their face, he said. In Ashburton the need for overseas document certification

A NOTARY PUBLIC’S ROLE A notary public uses an embossing tool (seal) to verify his or her presence at the time the documents were signed. When visiting a notary public it is important to have formal identification with you ideally your passport or photo driver’s licence.

If the document being notarised refers to a specific identity document the notary will need to sight that document as well. In some cases documents signed by the notary will need to be sent to the Department of Internal Affairs in Wellington for authentication.

is growing and following the death of Laurence Cooney last year Ashburton has been without a Notary Public. The appointment is for life and can only be filled by a practising lawyer. Mr Argyle sees it as an interesting extension to his legal career. A person must be nominated by two other Notaries Public and must have confirma-

tion by 25 people in his locality that he is a person of good character. Once sworn in a notary chooses a seal that he will affix to documents and with his choice, Mr Argyle has gone back to his roots as a Hampstead School boy. He’s used the coat of arms of Hampstead and adjusted that a bit with the scales of Justice.

The girlfriend of a young Auckland man killed when an object smashed through his car’s windscreen was forced to grab the steering wheel and lift his foot from the accelerator to avoid a crash. Police say Rutger Hale’s girlfriend did a remarkable job in taking control of the vehicle in the seconds after the 22-yearold was fatally injured by the mystery object which then flew through the back window of the car. Detective Sergeant Brian Cameron told yesterday of the young woman’s actions early on Thursday on State Highway 6, between Hawea and Wanaka. “She has had to take control of the vehicle, grabbing both the steering wheel whilst attempting to lift the driver’s foot from the accelerator. “She’s done a remarkable job of steering the vehicle to its final resting place without being involved in a secondary crash,” Mr Cameron said. Mr Hale and his girlfriend Danielle had only just moved to Hawea a few weeks ago. His last Facebook message said he was “back down to the dirty south” with his 26-yearold Alaskan girlfriend, who had bought the Subaru they were travelling in just five weeks before the fatal crash. Police still do not know what smashed a fist-sized hole in the windscreen of their blue Subaru about 6.25am on Thursday. They had called for sightings of a white ute believed to be in the area at the time and the driver of a white ute came forward yesterday and was interviewed by police. Mr Cameron said it was not yet known whether that person was driving the ute police were interested in. - APNZ

■ COLERIDGE FISHING CONTEST

In brief

Competition a highlight for many anglers Next weekend not only hails the opening of the high country lakes to fishing but also the Coleridge Fishing Competition. This free competition has over $10,000 worth of prizes donated by Hunting & Fishing and is a highlight of the year for many high country anglers. Organiser Fish & Game’s Steve Terry said many people thought it was necessary to catch a fish to enter the competition, but that it was open to anyone who presented a current fishing licence on the day. He said he knew of few fishing competitions with free entry and such a large prize pool. “The focus of the competition is participation and every angler who shows a licence is given a ticket for the spot prize draw,” Mr Terry said. Anglers who present fish are given extra tickets giving them a better chance in the draw. There are also prizes for the heaviest fish for each species,” said Mr Terry.

Big bill for protesters Three protesters who sabotaged a radar dome at the Waihopai spy base could have to pay $1.2 million in damages after their appeal against liability was dismissed. The Crown had sought to recover damages from Dominican friar Peter Murnane, teacher Adrian Leason and farmer Sam Land after they were convicted over the attack on the GCSB spy base near Blenheim in April 2008. The men cut through alarmed electric fences and slashed one of the two inflatable domes that cover the satellite dishes, causing the dome to deflate. In their judgement, Justices Tony Randerson, Lynton Stevens and Douglas White also ordered the men to pay costs in relation to the appeal hearing. - APNZ

■ ASHBURTON GROUPS BENEFIT

Charity golf match proceeds shared The Ashburton Charity Golf Classic raised $21466 at this year’s tournament, and the proceeds were handed over this week. Tournament organiser Rodger Bradford said this year’s recipients, the Mid Canterbury Cancer Society, Prostate Cancer Research, Methven Land Search and Rescue and the Ashburton Golf Club were chosen for the contributions they make to the community. The land search and rescue group has recently taken on the job of finding elderly people who have wandered off – the funds will be used to provide locator bracelets for vulnerable

people, and tracking equipment. “Just 10 days before the tournament the Ashburton Golf Course was almost destroyed when many trees came down in the wind – the members made a sterling effort to get it ready for us in time,” Mr Bradford said. The charity tournament has contributed about $165,000 since its inception in 2006. Right: Recipients of this year’s Ashburton Charity Golf Classic tournament, David Fisher, Annie Bonifant and Mandy Casey, Brent Christie and John Cockburn with tournament organiser Rodger Bradford (centre).

■ SCOUTING AWARD

Outstanding service recognised By GaBrielle Stuart gabrielle.s@theguardian.co.nz

It has been more than six years since the Mania-o-roto scout group presented an award for Outstanding Service to Scouting – but it was one that Rover Scout leader Brenda Lynch more than deserved. Ms Lynch has served with local scout groups for close to seven years, and in that time has worked both to organise jamboree events for more than three thousand young scouts, and to motivate and inspire local scouts individually. Zone leader Lori Rusbatch said that she had worked tirelessly for scouting and was an inspiration. “She is a happy, obliging, giving person, and she has brought a new vitality to the Mania-oroto zone.” She said that Brenda set a positive example with her

and surprised her with the presentation in front of family and friends.

Waiti jailed for six years By Katie Holland

A man who dragged his girlfriend more than 1km behind a car wrote to her from jail and got her to change her statement, a court has been told. Sonny Te Aramoana Waiti, 26, was sentenced in Rotorua District Court yesterday to six years and five months’ prison for kidnapping 37-year-old Rotorua mother Ana Eriepa on May 25. Judge James Weir ordered Waiti serve a minimum period of four years. Waiti, a patched member of the Mongrel Mob, locked Ms Eriepa in a car boot after accusing her of cheating on him. He then drove erratically at high speed along State Highway 1 between Tokoroa and Putaruru. Ms Eriepa tried to escape but her foot got caught and she was dragged along the road at 90-100km/h for at least 1.6km before she was thrown free. She suffered injuries over much of

her body and her lower leg had to be amputated. Ms Eriepa, who was in court yesterday to support Waiti, handed the judge a statement saying she had got into the boot of her own free will. Judge Weir disregarded that, referring to a letter Waiti wrote Ms Eriepa from jail in which he told her “you just have to tell the pigs you wanted to be in the boot [and] I never forced you”. The judge said the letter was a “clear attempt to manipulate” Ms Eriepa, who had regularly visited Waiti since the incident. The pair remain in a relationship, with Waiti telling a probation officer he intended to marry Ms Eriepa on his release. As Judge Weir delivered his sentence, Waiti interrupted and told the judge “you are only seeing this from your high horse . . . I did not force her to write the letter”. The judge ordered Waiti be taken to the cells and adjourned court for 20 minutes. - APNZ

■ SOLICITOR GENERAL STEPS IN

Crown Law to take Banks case Crown Law will take over the prosecution of John Banks on a charge of knowingly filing a false election return. Private prosecutor Graham McCready received a letter yesterday from Solicitor General

Michael Heron confirming he would intervene in the case. The letter said the Solicitor General would assume responsibility, and asked for all relevant documents to be forwarded to the Crown Law office.

Banks was committed to trial following an oral evidence hearing at Auckland District Court earlier this month. Mr McCready said the prosecution was taking a toll on his health, and appealed for the “full

resources of the crown” to be put behind the prosecution. The Solicitor General had earlier said he would reconsider intervening if Banks was committed to trial. - APNZ

Oamaru’s B10 here for a steamy weekend BY GABRIELLE STUART GABRIELLE.S@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

This weekend is set to be a massive one for steam train enthusiasts, as the Plains Vintage Railway in Ashburton celebrates 150 years of rail transport in New Zealand. The first guest to arrive at the celebrations was the recently restored 1924 Locomotive B10, which travelled from Oamaru last week to return to Ashbur-

ton for the first time in 12 years. The steam engine will look relatively modern next to the Plains Vintage Railway K88 engine, which will both give rides on Sunday and Monday.. They will be joined on Sunday by a vintage Motor Jigger, as well as miniature ride-on trains run by the Steam and Model Engineering Club. For those after a slightly longer journey, the 1946 histor-

ic Ja1240 steam locomotive will be passing through Ashburton on Monday as it makes the trip from Christchurch to Timaru and back. Travellers on the Timaru Flyer trip will have the opportunity to stop off at the Ashburton Plains Vintage Railway Museum. Tickets for two rides on trains at the museum will cost $8 for adults and $3.50 for children.

Double murderer Holdem back before Parole Board Convicted double child murderer Peter Holdem will appear before the Parole Board next month after a hearing was delayed last week. Holdem’s lawyer was unable to attend. The hearing will now proceed on an undisclosed date in November. The postponement order hearing will consider delaying Holdem’s next parole hearing for up to three years. Holdem, 56, has been in jail since being convicted of murdering 6-year-old Louisa Damodran near Christchurch in 1986. At the time of the murder he had just been released from prison for the abduction and attempted murder of a 10-yearold girl. A psychological report of Holdem in February described him as “predatory and opportunistic”. “Despite extensive treatment it is said he has made little gains and the overall treatment has been unsuccessful despite its intensity.” Holdem was previously denied parole in April 2013, 2011, 2010 and 2007. “Mr Holdem has little community support. He is not suitable to attend further programmes outside of prison,” the Parole Board’s April decision said. “Given that the limited gains he has made over 27 years in prison, his prognosis is gloomy. He remains an undue risk as a high risk sexual offender and the safety of the community requires that he remain in prison.” - APNZ

Becoming a make-up artist to the stars has been a spiritual journey for Methven’s Cheryl Fowler. Susan Sandys reports. View or purchase photos online guardianonline.co.nz

Methven make-up artist Cheryl Fowler and Ashburton Minx hairdresser Nicole O’Brien were the make-up and hair team for Mitre 10 Dream Home. PHOTOS DONNA WYLIE 240913-DW-092

Epiphany leads to beautiful career C

ompleting a Diploma of Makeup Artistry four years ago was more than just gaining a qualification for Cheryl Fowler of Methven. The mother-of-one, married to Ian in Methven, genuinely wanted to make women feel better about themselves. She believed this was more important than ever, after tragic experiences in her own life made her realise how important it was to make every moment in one’s life count. About five years ago Cheryl lost her brother, Paul Buckley, to a motorbike accident in Taupo. The 45-year-old was killed instantly when a car pulled out in front of him. His son O’Connor was a pillion passenger and seriously injured. While in hospital visiting O’Connor, who is still recovering from the accident today, Cheryl bumped into television psychic Sue Nicholson, who she knew from having used her services previously. Cheryl had lost daughter, Caitlin, about eight years previously and her father Barry Buckley to cancer

at around the same time. Sue was at the hospital visiting a granddaughter, but took time out to talk to Cheryl and tell her what she had seen in relation to Cheryl in her role as a psychic. “She said to me she had seen this boy for the last couple of days, and she would know who it was when she saw him.” It was later revealed that boy was O’Connor, and Sue also had a psychic experience involving Paul. Her brother’s funeral was to be the next day and Cheryl was having second thoughts about going away on a holistic retreat she had planned to Turkey later in the week. But Sue put her mind at rest, saying she had felt Paul standing next to her and touch her on the shoulder, telling her to tell Cheryl she had his blessing to go. It was on that trip away in Turkey that Cheryl did some soul searching on what she wanted to do in terms of her career. She was an interior designer,

but felt she could offer more in another career involving her creative talents in colour and design. “I wanted to do more with women about looking good and feeling good about themselves.” More tragedy was to come for Cheryl. Her second child, Blake, was stillborn. She credits her family – husband Ian and daughter Brittany – for helping her through that traumatic time in her life. She continued to strive for her new career goal, and completed a Diploma of Makeup Artistry at the prestigious Kristen Stewart School of make-up in Christchurch. She began a freelance career and landed a job at the Christchurch offices of Women’s Weekly, New Idea and Woman’s Day. She has since preened and painted faces belonging to Canterbury celebrities such as All Black Andy Ellis, actor and writer David McPhail and New Zealand ballet dancer Josh Guillemot-Rodgerson, the only New Zealander to be accepted

into New York’s prestigious Julliard School of Dance. She has brushed and coloured the faces of those who have harrowing stories to tell - such as a mother whose daughter was murdered, a woman who survived cancer and a mastectomy and a young mother fighting anorexia. “There’s just all sorts of people that you get to meet, and you get to go into their homes and into their lives. You find out a lot about people. “You get all sorts of different cases and you are dealing with all sorts of different people, you have to be mature and you have to be really empathetic.” Recently Cheryl’s work extended into television, and she was the make-up artist for Mitre 10 Dream Home. Cheryl took Ashburton Minx hairdresser Nicole O’Brien with her and the pair of them were the hair and make-up team for the show. They had to cater to not only host Simon Barnett and the four contestants week after week, but also do the make-up

for the auctioneer and Seven Sharp reporter Brodie Kane at the live final. Cheryl said each of the show’s ‘stars’ had their own make-up preferences, some being more tolerant than others. But like any professional, Cheryl is remaining mum on just what those were. She was full of praise for Simon as host of the show. “He’s lovely. He just treats everybody the best, he has a really nice way about him, and he’s very respectful of everybody and the jobs that they do, and very professional in the way he handles things.” She is loving her new role as a make-up artist and certainly has no regrets about her new career choice in life. She recently ran an evening course over four weeks in Methven called Looking Good, Feeling Good, passing on make-up tips to women in the town. “I love making people feel good, it’s about getting inside ourselves, being confident as women,” she said.

Keeping ﬁt has become a way of life for Ashburton woman Lisa Cartwright. PHOTO TETSURO MITOMO 211013-TM-00247

Losing weight and getting fit are sure-fire ways to chase away the black clouds of depression says Lisa Cartwright. She tells reporter Sue Newman about a journey that has seen her make the finals of an Australasian award.

Lisa’s taken her life back

isa Cartwright is just a shadow of her former self and she couldn’t be happier. The Ashburton woman has shed almost 30kg, has gained a new, fit body, but best of all, she’s also gained a new and positive attitude to her life. Add to that making the final line-up of an Australasian award and life is finally looking great. When the clock ticked over into 2013 Lisa weighed 112.8kg, her knees and ankles ached and she says she had a chest measurement she didn’t really want to think about. Her self-esteem was at an alltime low and life looked pretty grim. The months ticked by and she began to realise that if her life was to change, then she would have to drive that change. “I’d been humming and hawing about doing something but the final push was realising that if nothing changed, then nothing would change. “I’d hit my 40s and thought, is this my life? I had my work, but I really had nothing else.” Joining a gym was the best decision she ever made. She started a Curves programme that included an exercise and diet regime and says that took most of the pain out of her weight loss. Weight hasn’t been a lifelong issue for Lisa, it arrived in her teens. “I was always a skinny tomboy at school, but I got depression when I was 18 and went to uni and unfortunately the medication I had to go on mucked around with my thyroid and I just ballooned,” she said.

As the depression lifted and she came off medication, Lisa’s weight dropped, but the depression returned again and again and with it the weight-boosting medication. During an exceptionally bad bout of depression about 10 years ago, her weight rocketed up and her self-esteem plunged. She had shock treatment and went through more than five changes in medication. “It was an absolutely horrendous time, but I’ve always been quite open about it because there are so many people with depression now it’s good that it’s talked about.” Joining Curves has been the key, not only to weight loss, but to a new sense of wellbeing and higher self-esteem. “This has changed my life; it’s given me back my life. I feel full of life and energy and people are noticing a big change in me. “I have more motivation to do things and I’m getting out and doing things I’d never do before,” she said. Yes her diet has changed, particularly the snacking and big portion sizes, but on her new regime, Lisa said she never feels hungry. Her goal is to lose 30kg by

Lisa Cartwright before and after.

Christmas and with 27.2 shed already she knows she’s on target to achieve her goal. And the story behind Lisa’s weight loss has seen her become one of five women across Australasia who have made the final line-up for the Curves Inspirational Spirit Award. That award is about the story

of the women who have lost weight as much as it is about the weight they have lost and if sharing her story helps someone else, then Lisa says she’s happy to share it. The winner in the spirit award will be announced on November 1 and she’s also in the running for Curvette of the

Year, an award based around weight lost. While she’s delighted to be part of both awards, Lisa said the real rewards for her from losing weight come in the small things – being able to buy nice clothes, feeling okay about having her photo taken and most of all, just feeling great about life.

■ INTEREST RATES

RB expected to hold current rates The Reserve Bank is expected to keep interest rates on hold next week as new lending restrictions and a higher New Zealand dollar take some pressure off the need to hike early next year in the face of a resurgent local economy. The Reserve Bank will keep the benchmark interest rate at a record low 2.5 per cent when it decides the official cash rate on Thursday, according to the unanimous view of 12 economists polled by Reuters. All currently expect the bank will hike rates by March next year, according to Reuters. Traders have pushed out their expectations for 2014 rate hikes since the last Reserve Bank decision on September 12 in anticipation that loan-to-value lending restrictions introduced on

October 1 and higher mortgage rates will cool an overheated housing market and as the kiwi is pushed higher by a weaker greenback on expectations the Federal Reserve will delay plans to taper its monetary stimulus programme. Some 79 basis points of hikes are anticipated in New Zealand over the coming year, down from expectations of 97 basis points of hikes on September 13, according to the Overnight Index Swap curve. “We expect the Reserve Bank will be a little bit more dovish next Thursday and if they are, we will push out our forecast (for the first rate hike) to April,” said Dominick Stephens, New Zealand chief economist at Westpac Bank. “I think they could come out

Super Fund, Infratil buy up big V Infratil and NZ Super Fund have both announced they will be buying up big stakes in the listed retirement village operator Metlifecare. In response to the news, Metlifecare’s share price rallied yesterday morning by 8.5 per cent, or 32 cents, to $4.10. Infrastructure investor Infratil released a statement yesterday morning saying it had entered into a conditional agreement to purchase a 19.9 per cent stake in Metlifecare. The deal would cost Infratil $147.9 million, based on a share price of $3.53. NZ Super Fund also confirmed it had conditionally agreed to buy 17 per cent of Metlifecare, lifting its stake from 2.89 per cent 19.9 per cent. NZ Super said it would pay $126 million ($3.53 per share) for the stake. Both the Infratil and Super Fund deals are expected to settle on November 28. They are buying their shareholdings from Retirement Villages New Zealand, which this week signalled plans to sell its 37.7 per cent interest in Metlifecare. Metlifecare, which listed on the Australian stock exchange

been building momentum, and we think it is that that is going to push the Reserve Bank into hiking,” Stephens said. “In the presence of a slower housing market, it seems less likely that the Reserve Bank will be able to hike on that March timing.” The Reserve Bank said in September it expected the trade-weighted index, the central bank’s favoured measure of the currency, to average 74.7 in the final quarter of this year. The trade-weighted index was recently at 76.6. The Reserve Bank is likely to “tread softly” as it will want to avoid a drop in longer term mortgage rates for people with large deposits which could add fuel to the housing market, Stephens said. - APNZ

on Monday, has seen its share price rise by 19.24 per cent this year. Infratil chief executive Marko Bogoievski said Metlifecare represented a good entry point for his company and that the aged care sector trends were “very attractive”. “The investment is consistent with many of the demographic and other trends influencing the balance of infrastructure investment activity across our portfolio,” he said. “Infratil has extensive property knowledge and can work with Metlifecare to develop its pipeline of brownfield and

greenfield sites.” Goldman Sachs has entered into a fixed price underwriting agreement with Retirement Villages New Zealand Limited and Infratil plans to fund the acquisition from existing debt facilities. Stewart Brooks, general manager of finance at NZ Super, said the retirement village industry was “a good fit” with the fund’s long-term investing horizon and growth profile. “We believe Metlifecare offers value at $3.53 per share, and look forward to engaging with the company to encourage and facilitate strategies that will add further value.” - APNZ

olatility is a measure of the standard deviation of returns around the

mean. In simple terms this means when an investment value fluctuates wildly it has high volatility; when an investment value doesn’t change much over time it has low volatility. Higher volatility is associated with higher expected returns. The expected volatility of returns on a portfolio increases with the inclusion of more volatile assets. While the expected average annual investment return increases, the downside is that chances of a negative investment return also increase. Although the differences in expected annual investment returns may not be considered that great, annual return differences will be amplified when compounded over a number of years. Higher investment returns cannot be achieved without accepting some risk or shortterm volatility in returns – risk should not be avoided for the simple reason of failing to understand how it impacts on investment returns. However, it should be stressed that risk has a downside – it can lead to poor investment returns if not managed carefully.

MONEY MATTERS

One way of seeing whether you are on the right track with your own asset allocation is to compare it with the way professional fund managers allocate the assets they manage for ‘the average investor’. For example, you could look at the average asset allocation of ‘balanced’ KiwiSaver schemes in New Zealand. These balanced funds will contain a range of investments and represent the retirement savings of many hundreds of thousands of New Zealanders. In our next update we will discuss monitoring and managing your investment portfolio. Ian Lennie and Selwyn Sloan are Authorised Financial Advisers with Forsyth Barr in Ashburton.

BY JONATHAN LEASK

JONATHAN.L@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

In 1994 Geoff Frew engineered a try that sparked Mid Canterbury to a 26-16 win over Poverty Bay in the NPC third division final in Ashburton. “I was the old bugger of the team. It was an up and down year and then we had to beat Wanganui up there in the semifinals,” Frew said. The long serving winger was thrust into the unfamiliar 10 jer-

sey for the finals, in 1994, firstly for the upset semi-final win against Wanganui at Wanganui, and then again for the final. “It was a bit of a bummer because young Tony Lysaght had played first five all year but Pete and Paul Williams decided we need a bit more experience, so they bunged me in the hot seat and everything worked out.” After helping see off Wanganui Frew opened the scoring with one of his trademark

winger runs, darting from first receiver to score the try that started what would be Mid Canterbury’s first NPC championship title. “It was really enjoyable with a lot of young fellas there. “We had the likes of Peter Topham, Tony Lysaght and Stevie Middleton saying “when you first played for Mid Canterbury we were still in kindy” but it was a lot of fun and bloody tremendous.”

It would prove the final highlight in the Mid Canterbury centurion’s playing career as the then 34-year-old retired a third division champion with 157 caps to his name. Now 19 years later he will be running up and down the showgrounds in another final, this time patrolling the sidelines as the assistant coach. “I’m getting that same feeling being involved with these boys. “I’m getting a big buzz and

they have put a lot of hard work in, and I just really hope they can do the job.” Frew already had one moment to savour this season, seeing hooker James Carr join the exclusive Mid Canterbury Centurions club, and he could now witness another national provincial title. Carr has had his share of finals experience but on the wrong end, playing in the losing Mid Canterbury sides in 2008 and 2009 when he captained the side.

Attitude to succeed When the Blues did their research on Benji Marshall, they were sure they had their man. Not sure of his signature but certain he wanted to cross codes, he ticked all the boxes as a professional athlete. Marshall wanted to succeed, this was no end-of-career stunt or a way of topping up his bank balance after failing to come to terms with the Wests Tigers in the NRL. Employers and sports organisations talk about doing due diligence in their business and the Blues were sure they had found a nugget in that assessment of Marshall. He fitted the profile of someone the Blues wanted and, as a bonus, he was very aware of the commercial activities around sport which he had inhaled in a lengthy stint playing in Sydney. - NZH

Nonu looking forward Ma’a Nonu is intent on putting his troubled time at the Highlanders behind him. Nonu, 31, was in Queenstown yesterday for a flying visit with fellow All Blacks Richie McCaw, Cory Jane, Andrew Hore and Francis Saili. After a disappointing season with the Highlanders, and a long exile from media commitments during which it appeared no Super rugby team wanted him, Nonu said he was looking forward to rejoining the Blues, who had “come to the rescue”. “This year was just a challenge, really,” said Nonu. “I talked to Ted [Blues assistant Graham Henry] about coming back up. I just had doubts about my own ability as a rugby player - you always want to be wanted.” - ODT

The coach Mid Canterbury’s Glenn Moore coached North Otago from 2000 to 2005, winning the old third division in 2002 and reaching the seconddivision semi-ﬁnals three times before joining Otago and the Highlanders. During his tenure with North Otago, Moore beat Mid Canterbury in all four clashes and in his ﬁrst match the other way around he was on the end of an 18-19 defeat.

Home ground advantage Mid Canterbury have never lost an NPC final at home, with wins in 1994 and 1998, while the “home” final against Wanganui was played in Christchurch, resulting in a loss to Wanganui. They lost the 2008 Meads Cup final to Wanganui in Wanganui. North Otago has won both their Meads Cup finals, both against Wanganui, but had the luxury of playing both at home in Oamaru. North Otago haven’t won a game in Ashburton since the dawn of the Heartland era, winning 28-16 back in 2006. North Otago have found wins in Ashburton hard to come by claiming one in 2003, when Glenn Moore was the coach, although they claimed draws in 1957 and 1962.

Richie ready to go in Queenstown as part of the “All Blacks to the Nation” promotional tour, Captain Richie McCaw told media his calf injury was “all good” and he was looking forward to some game time when the All Blacks play Japan in Tokyo next weekend. However, he praised stand-in captain Kieran Read’s ability to “share the load” during his recent absence. “Having a guy to slot in and nothing changes means the team’s in good shape,” McCaw said. “I’d still like to get out on the field as much as possible but it’s good to have a guy like him step in.” - ODT

Farming Friends – Family, Community and Business My show theme, Farming Friends – Family, Community and Business, an adaption of the phrase “Man’s Best Friend", came to the fore when the association was approached to host the Trans Tasman Dog Trials. This will be a real feature on Friday and Saturday in an arena at the northern end of the showgrounds. Our show guest this year is Stuart McLean, who has a long involvement with dog trailing in Canterbury and a past president of the Canterbury A&P Association. The Mid Canterbury Dog Agility Club is providing a feature over both show days with scheduled displays of skilled handlers and dogs. Our show is a large communitywide event with a rural flavour, attracting several thousand diverse entries including home industries, equestrian, alpacas, sheep, wool, shearing, cattle, dog trials, poultry, goats, grain and seed, primary school calf and lambs, all competing for trophies, ribbons and bragging rights.

As well as scores of traditional and innovative trade displays, there are also craft markets and indoor promotion of health and education. There is entertainment throughout for everyone’s enjoyment from side show alley to party ponies and Young Farmers animal displays. The Classic Hits feature area has a great programme on Saturday from 9.30am–4pm and includes wearable arts and performing groups, culminating with Ashburton’s Got Talent final. Our grand parade at 2pm on Saturday is always a crowdpleaser and a highlight of the show; the parade will be led by the South Canterbury Pipe Band.

Friday 1st & Saturday 2nd November 2013 Every man and his dog will be at this year’s Ashburton A&P Show. The 136th show on November 1 and 2 tips its hat to farming friends in the community and dogs are among those with a special presence at the annual show. Man’s best friend will be seen in demonstrations of obedience and agility, and at the dog trials, with one contest for locals and another for a special trans-Tasman test between the best dog triallists in Australia and New Zealand. Expect plenty of tension as the best in the business try to keep control of some Romneys with attitude. The show will be two massive days of entertainment. Judges will decide champion stock and shearers, riders will compete for honours in a full programme of equestrian events and the home industries pavilion pays homage to some of the best cooks and craftspeople in the district. The event is a showcase for the district’s innovative and successful farming community as well as providing carnival highlights and great hotdogs. Show president David Bennett is in his second year in charge, and he hands over the reigns next year to vice-president Lynette Lovett. Mr Bennett said this year’s theme, farming friends, included not only dogs but families, businesses and others in the community that supported agriculture. He paid tribute to the hardworking group of volunteers who were preparing the showgrounds this coming week for thousands of visitors expected. The volunteers put in hundreds of hours setting up dog trial arenas, horse jumping rings, dancing stages and competition areas. He also thanked the thousands of people who had entered this year’s show, some following years of family tradition, others exhibiting work for the first time. The show committee worked hard to make sure the event met changing community expectations and con-

tinued to appeal to a wide range of people, he said. This year’s show starts at 7.30am on Friday with dog trials and equestrian events. Friday is judging day in the home industries pavilion and this will open to the public later in the morning. A full range of trade and market displays will run both days. Mr Bennett’s special guest this year is Stuart McLean, a past president of the Canterbury A&P Association and a long-serving member of the dog trialling community. He is also competing in the show’s dog trials events. Children will be well catered for in the Young Farmers animal pavilion, where displays are designed to be hands-on and educational. This year commercial animals will feature, along with display panels outlining how they contribute to the agricultural industry. New to the mix will be party ponies, which children can ride. In the wool shed, local craftspeople will be spinning raw wool and knitting it to show the cycle from sheep to garment. The grand parade is scheduled for 2pm in the main ring, where champions will show off their medals. While there will be a full range of activities on offer on Friday, Saturday is the main show day, with activities, events and competitions in every corner of the grounds.

■ MEADS CUP FINAL

Ashburton Guardian

Cantabs the pros of ITM rugby By Daniel RichaRDson

Time to end title drought By Jonathan leask

jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

The last time Mid Canterbury lifted a piece of national provincial rugby silverware, Christian Cullen was playing for the Central Vikings and Otago was the top team in division one. It was 1998 when John Smitheram led the Hammers to the third division title with a 18-13 win over HorowhenuaKapiti, the second time he lifted the trophy and also the last time a Mid Canterbury captain got to hoist a trophy after a final. But the former Mid Canterbury captain will be there today to hopefully see an end to the title drought. “It’s been a long time, but Mid Canterbury have a pretty good chance,” Smitheram said. “Hopefully they can bring home the silverware and get Mid Canterbury back on the map.” A lot has changed since Mid Canterbury lifted the third division title. Mid Canterbury’s first triumph under the national provincial championship system, introduced in 1976, came in

1980 when they won the South Island second division, and repeated the feat in 1983 when they also won the north-vsouth second division play-off. The competition was reformatted to the three tiers in 1985, with Mid Canterbury starting in second division where they remained until being relegated in 1990. After finishing second in third division in 1991, playoffs were introduced the following year and the Hammers were beaten semi-finalists in 1992 and 1993. In 1994 they beat top qualifiers Wanganui at Wanganui to earn a home final and, after the debacle of having to put the goal posts back up during the week, they beat Poverty Bay 26-13 in Ashburton and captain Smitheram hoisted the trophy aloft. “They moved Geoff Frew to first five and it was the best move we did. “He’s always had a huge boot and kept us on attack the whole time and we accumulated points. “It always helps when you have someone who can direct

and dominate play, and that’s what Mid Canterbury have now in (Murray) Williams.” Promotion to second division was short-lived, losing all eight games in the 1995 season and they made it as far as the third division semi-finals in 1996. In 1998 they won seven games, losing one (the same record as Mid Canterbury have this year) on their way to beating Horowhenua Kapiti 18-13 in the final at Ashburton, where Smitheram was again the man to lift the trophy in his 121st and final game for the union. “That was my last representative game too. “I had already had a final season in 1995. I didn’t play in 1996 and I was still playing club, so I thought if I was fit enough to play club I’m fit enough to play rep rugby. “I made myself available again and was lucky to get in.” The Hammers moved into second division again in 1999 and managed to remain there until 2003, losing all eight games concluding with an 8-99 thumping from eventual division two champions Hawkes Bay.

In 2004 Mid Canterbury were a beaten semi-finalist (916 to Wairarapa Bush) in division three and were fifth in 2005 before the re-structure to the Division one and Heartland Championships competitions in 2006. Since the restructuring of the NPC in 2006, Mid Canterbury have been the bridesmaids of the Heartland Championship, losing in semi-finals of the Meads Cup in 2006, 2007, 2010 and 2011, and finals in 2008 and 2009. In both finals they were beaten by Wanganui, 12-27 at Wanganui in 2008 and 13-34 in Christchurch (after having to move the final due to a clash with the A&P Show), while Wanganui were also responsible for the early exits in 2006, 2007, 2011. The other semi-final loss was to today’s final opponent North Otago in 2010. Smitheram could be the good luck charm, being the only man to lift the silverware twice, with history showing Mid Canterbury only win it at home and when Smitheram is there. He will be on the hill today.

Given it’s finals weekend in the ITM Cup it’s only fitting that Canterbury are playing. Tonight will mark the sixth consecutive occasion they’ve appeared in provincial rugby’s biggest game when they meet Wellington at Westpac Stadium. Canterbury are the five-time defending champions and that run at the top began in 2008 when they edged Wellington 7-6 in the final in terrible conditions at the Cake Tin. And while Canterbury have mastered the art of winning national provincial championship titles during the past decade, Wellington have specialised in finishing second. They’ve been defeated six times in the showpiece game since they last won it all in 2000 and curiously that victory 13 years ago came against Canterbury with a 34-29 triumph in Christchurch. Both sides come in to tonight’s contest as the best teams in the competition, which should make for an entertaining spectacle. They’ve already got together once at Westpac Stadium this year, when Wellington squeezed past Canterbury 25-19 in week six. Canterbury midfielder Ryan Crotty said the side had moved on from that loss. “We were nowhere near as good as we could have been that night, which was probably the frustrating thing and Wellington were quite good,” Crotty said. “They won some key moments and they definitely deserved the win then. But it was halfway through the comp, we are at the back end of it now and we’ve had a lot of development and got a lot better since then so that’s probably the exciting thing.” Canterbury bulldozed their way to the final with a 56-26 win over Auckland in Christchurch last weekend as they appear to be coming good at the right time. Crotty, who will look to add to his sole All Blacks cap on this season’s end of year tour, has been involved in every provincial title for the past five years after he made his Canterbury debut in 2008. Canterbury always start with a strong squad on paper but you still have to translate that to success on the pitch. “Being a part of all of them is pretty special,” Crotty, 25, said. “ - APNZ

BY DAVID LEGGAT Domestic cricket begins tomorrow, and it’ll be a blend of the colour and razzmatazz of T20 with the more sober Plunket Shield. While the lines between the competitions will occasionally blur, it may equally be confusing for teams working out where their priorities lie. Since T20 became the third component in the domestic summer, along with the 50over and first-class competitions, no team has won all three titles in one season. Wellington host Otago - who will field the Wellington old boy Jesse Ryder - at the Basin Reserve tomorrow, but it is more than a month before there is a full round of first-class games starting on the same day. The HRV Cup had its launch in Auckland this week, and there are changes. Portable lights are being used in Christchurch and Dunedin for the first two weekends as both home teams host doubleheaders. It will enable night-time cricket, which has been absent in the South Island since Christchurch’s 2011 earthquake. There has never been floodlit cricket in Dunedin. In what organisers freely admit is a steal from American sport, each team will have mascots. And for those who poohpooh such gimmicks, the idea is to engage with the younger audience. Ryder got back into training with Otago on Monday, after his six-month ban for failing a drug test ended. He is eyeing a return to the national team and Otago skipper Derek de Boorder said the former international lefthander

was itching to get into action. “He fits into our setup really nicely, he’s been a great addition for us and to have someone of that calibre and potential to win games is refreshing for the team environment and suits our style of play,” he said. Auckland kick off against Northern Districts on Thursday at Seddon Park in Hamilton, and that’s where much of captain Gareth Hopkins’ focus has been until now. That’s not disrespecting the importance of the T20 - far from it, Auckland are determined, having won the previous two titles before Otago ran away with it last summer, to get back to the Champions League, which is the plum for the New Zealand champion. It’s more that Auckland’s first T20 game is not until November 23, by which stage they will have played two Plunket Shield matches. Call that prioritising. Still, a third trip to the Champions League is “a massive incentive”, according to Hopkins. “It didn’t quite happen for us last season.” Indeed, when it came to the HRV Cup, Otago were the unanimous choice as early favourites, among the six provincial representatives - five captains plus Andrew Ellis standing in for Canterbury skipper Peter Fulton - at the launch. Given the restriction that they could not choose their own team, James Franklin (Wellington), Ellis (Canterbury), Daniel Flynn (ND), Kieran NoemaBarnett (CD) and Hopkins all plumped for the Otago side. They came desperately close to making the Champions League semi-final in India early this month; defeat in their last group game to the Rajasthan

HRV 20/20 cricketer Gareth Hopkins (Aces) with the new mascot at the launch in Auckland on Thursday.

Royals ended a terrific 14-game T20 winning streak. Opinions on why varied. “Certainly they’ve played a lot more T20 cricket recently and seem to have an understanding of their roles in the side,” said Flynn. Added Franklin: “The group hasn’t really changed a lot and they’ve added Jesse. “They’ve got a lot of familiarity going on down there.” Noema-Barnett reckoned

Otago are playing “fantastic T20 cricket” and now have that overseas experience to lean on. Ellis believed momentum would be crucial, and Otago have it. As for de Boorder, unable to nominate his own team, he plumped for Auckland, whom he rates as “always dangerous in the shorter format”. Fourteen games will be televised, with the T20 final on January 18. - NZH

In brief Spotlight on Milne It is conceivable no New Zealand player will be under greater scrutiny in the limited-overs series in Bangladesh than young speedster Adam Milne. Sure, there will be other areas of keen focus too, including the three-way contest between the middle order hitting candidates Corey Anderson, Colin Munro and Jimmy Neesham, and how newcomer Anton Devcich fits into the picture. But Milne has a point of difference to the other leading seamers around the country. He’s distinctly sharp. “Obviously I want to bowl fast and try to use my pace as a weapon. I’d never try and settle for medium pace,” he said. - APNZ

Phoenix chasing a win

Sonny Bill Williams returns to the international rugby league arena when the World Cup begins this weekend.

SBW show about to begin By Michael Brown Sonny Bill Williams will play his first test for the Kiwis in five years when they open their World Cup campaign against Samoa on Monday morning (NZT), and he will hope for a better result than his previous appearances for New Zealand. The 28-year-old last played for the Kiwis in the 2008 Anzac test, just weeks before he walked out on the Bulldogs and made the switch to rugby union. It was a match that also marked Stephen Kearney’s first as Kiwis coach. Williams has played seven tests for the Kiwis but never won - six defeats and one draw - but that’s likely to change when the tackle Samoa in Warrington. They should have far too much firepower for Samoa, who have endured a difficult buildup with a number of bigname players unavailable. Kearney has named a power-

ful New Zealand side in expectation of a physical match, but he also hopes to feed off the Roosters’ success in winning this year’s NRL grand final, naming all five in the side along with Manly’s Kieran Foran. It means first caps for exciting winger Roger Tuivasa-Sheck and prop Sam Moa, who will start off the bench, and a recall for Frank-Paul Nu’uausala. “It’s an important game, but I thought it was important to capitalise on the energy the Roosters boys had and the momentum they created for themselves over the last little period,” Kearney said. One of those is Williams, who has been the talk of the World Cup even before the tournament has kicked off. It’s something he’s been used to throughout his career, and he handles the attention well, but the player is determined to fit in with the team. “I just do what I do, keep it humble, work hard, do all my extras, tick all the boxes and

try to gain, first of all, my team-mates’ respect by doing all those things you don’t see on TV and everything that happens above that is a bonus,” he told reporters after training in St Helens. “This week [against Samoa] will be no different. I’ll try to base my game on hard work.” It will be exactly what Kearney wants to hear. The Kiwis coach has built a simple game plan based around solid defence, completing sets and a low penalty count. It doesn’t mean players will be restricted in what they can do, especially someone like Williams who can make the audacious look routine. “It’s quite obvious the talent he has but I think he brings a bit more than that,” Kearney said. “He brings a sense of confidence to the people around him. “For a guy of his stature, he understands that he has to get down and dirty sometimes and that’s a good quality to have.”

Williams will play in his usual position on the right edge, meaning captain Simon Mannering will play down the middle as a back-rower. Samoa are considerably weaker than the side many expected them to field at this World Cup with the likes of Roy Asotasi, Steve Matai and Jeff Lima missing for various reasons but Kearney has still labelled if a “red flag” match. “I don’t buy into any of that talk [of them being weak],” he said. “For me I look at their side and who they have, like Reni Maitua, Anthony Milford and David Fa’alogo rather than who they don’t have.” New Zealand: Josh Hoffman, Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, Dean Whare, Bryson Goodwin, Manu Vatuvei, Kieran Foran, Shaun Johnson, Jared Waerea-Hargreaves, Issac Luke, Jesse Bromwich, Frank Pritchard, Sonny Bill Williams, Simon Mannering.

Kiwis have a hard road to the final By Michael Brown If the Kiwis are to win the World Cup in the coming weeks, they will have to do it the hard way. They should emerge from their pool as top qualifiers reasonably comfortably, getting through Samoa, France and Papua New Guinea, but life will get distinctly more

difficult after that. They will probably meet Tonga in the quarter-finals, England in the semi-finals and, all going well, Australia in the final. If the Kiwis want to build momentum during the tournament, as they often talk about, that run of fixtures ought to do it. They will be worthy champions if they can defend the title they won in 2008 and

it might even be an advantage to have a tough run. Compare that to Australia’s route to the final, which appears significantly easier. They will play the winner of Group D (USA, Cook Islands, Wales) in the quarter-finals before a possible matchup with Samoa or Fiji in the semis. Heaven forbid should England somehow beat Australia

in tomorrow morning’s tournament opener - and Australia have some history of dropping opening games - because it would then pitch the Kiwis and Kangaroos into a tense semifinal at Wembley Stadium. Only three teams have ever won the World Cup across the tournament’s 60-year history and only one of those will win it this time, too. - APNZ

After a loss and a draw to open their season, a win should be next for the Wellington Phoenix. The club’s rebuilding process is still in its infancy under new coach Ernie Merrick but his young squad could do with another dose of confidence. A heart-breaking start to the season saw them cough up the points in the dying stages against Brisbane but last week’s 1-1 draw against the Western Sydney Wanderers in Parramatta will have given them some self-belief. Now it’s time to translate that in to victory and there’s no better side to do it against than the Newcastle Jets, who have to be up there with the worst travellers in the A-League when it comes to playing in New Zealand. Tomorrow the Phoenix host the Jets at McLean Park in Napier. - APNZ

Breakers at a loss Mired in the middle of an earlyseason slump, something has to change for the Breakers. Of course, a large part of the problem is how much has already changed, with a new coach, new players and, especially, new officiating resulting in a rare three-game losing run. But the only remedy to their struggles with the rule adjustments is to make another adjustment of their own. Dean Vickerman knows as much. It would have been difficult to avoid such a conclusion after watching his players hamstrung by fouls in the seven-point loss to Perth on Thursday. And the defending champions have been frustrated throughout the first few weeks of the campaign by calls going against them. “It limits how we want to play,” an exasperated Vickerman said. - APNZ

Enduro Cup ‘a nothing’ V8 Supercars champion Jamie Whincup has dismissed the Enduro Cup as insignificant, claiming the newly created trophy means nothing to him. Whincup and codriver Paul Dumbrell go into this weekend’s Gold Coast 600 holding a 42-point lead over Craig Lowndes and Warren Luff in the inaugural Enduro Cup standings. The prize was established earlier this year to go to the pair who scored the most points in the three ‘endurance’ races of the V8 Supercars calendar - the Sandown 500, Bathurst 1000 and Gold Coast 600. But four-time drivers’ champion Whincup made it clear yesterday he can’t see the point in the trophy and wouldn’t be risking anything this weekend to secure the prize. - AAP

In brief Tasman in a thriller Tasman will join the big boys in the ITM Cup’s Premiership division next season after they beat Hawkes Bay 26-25 in the Championship decider in Nelson last night. During the past month, Tasman’s ability with the ball in hand took them to the top of the Championship and they enjoyed home advantage for both of their playoff games. They took Southland apart last week in the semi-finals and were ruthless in their execution last night as their running game laid the platform in the first 40 minutes before they defended stoutly for much of the second half to hold on for the result. Hawkes Bay’s Chris Eaton scored from a brilliant counterattacking move in the dying stages which left it to Ihaia West with a sideline conversion to win the game, but the youngster couldn’t convert. - APNZ

Test called off The drawn second test left New Zealand’s test series with Bangladesh unsatisfactorily all square. Still there were positives to come out of the test at the Shere Bangla Stadium in Dhaka, which should give reason for satisfaction. Bangladesh, after all, are no slugs in their own back yard, and in young batsman Mominul Haque, with hundreds in each test, they had the individual batting star. New Zealand scored three hundreds in the series. Kane Williamson hit a 114, 74 double at Chittagong, his fourth test century, and third on the subcontinent. Wicketkeeper BJ Watling made his second test hundred, 103 and it was a notable performance. Corey Anderson’s maiden hundred, 116, in just his second test, at Dhaka was a huge confidence booster for the young allrounder. His measured approach, particularly early on, was impressive and suggested a pleasing maturity and recognition of the match situation. He’ll have stiffer assignments ahead, but his foot is well and truly in the door. Legspinner Ish Sodhi’s praises have been sung for a while, and the 20-year-old showed his potential. - APNZ

Cardinals level series Carlos Beltran hit an RBI single to cap a three-run seventh and Michael Wacha pitched six solid innings as St Louis rallied to beat Boston 4-2 in game two of the World Series yesterday. Beltran, who was playing through the pain of a sore right rib cage, smacked a two-out single to right field that scored Daniel Descalso for the Cardinals who levelled the best-of-seven series at one game apiece. - AFP

Washouts ok with Aussies Australia’s test team could be the unlikely beneficiary of the unseasonably heavy rain which is ruining the one-day series with India. The likely washout of game five in Cuttack comes with one significant silver lining - the freshening up of Mitchell Johnson and Shane Watson ahead of the return Ashes in Australia. Interim coach Steve Rixon had planned to give Johnson a spell on the sidelines for one or two matches, trying not to overcook the fast bowler before the Gabba Test, starting on November 21. - AAP

■ MOTOR RACING

Whincup fires up at V8 rival By Ed Jackson Holden star Jamie Whincup dominated the opening day of this year’s Gold Coast V8 Supercars event before dismissing Ford rival Mark Winterbottom as a carried-away clown. Winterbottom sparked a war of words in the build-up to the Surfers Paradise round by labelling Whincup’s Red Bull Racing as “arrogant”. The four-time champion gave his response on track by setting the fastest time in practice ahead of this weekend’s two 300km races, finishing ahead of Holden pair James Courtney and David Wall. Whincup’s main championship rivals, teammate Craig Lowndes and Winterbottom, were off the pace yesterday. A late puncture ruined Lowndes’s bid to move up the timesheets and he could only post the day’s 18th best time, while Winterbottom, running on a poor bank of practice tyres, was down in 22nd. And Whincup had a warning for Winterbottom ahead of this weekend’s showdown, claiming the 32-year-old might have become a bit carried away following his Bathurst 1000 victory a fortnight ago. “I only know of one clown who made a few comments ear-

ly,” Whincup said when asked if he believed mind games were being attempted ahead of the championship run-in. “I’ve disregarded them (Winterbottom’s comments). Talk about bragging rights or winning a race and making the most of it ... just a little bit carried away with a big win. “The championship’s a long

year ... Car 5 did a great job at Bathurst, they deserved the win and looking forward to the battle right through to Sunday in Sydney.” With Whincup’s co-driver Paul Dumbrell topping the timesheets in the two co-driver-only sessions of the day, it was a clean sweep for the defending champion as he aimed to continue a

run of form at Surfers where he’s won three of the past four races at the 2.97km street circuit. The concrete walls of the circuit also claimed their first victim of the weekend with Jason Bright in a race against time to repair his Commodore after codriver Andrew Jones struck with a wall during the third practice session of the day. - AAP

Vettel sets Indian F1 lap record Sebastian Vettel began his quest to seal a fourth successive Formula One world title by scorching a new lap record in first free practice at the Indian Grand Prix yesterday. The 26-year-old, enjoying a 90-point lead over his nearest challenger Fernando Alonso, only needs to finish in the top five in his Red Bull on Sunday to seal the title. Vettel showed ominous intent by lapping at 1min 26.68secs, surpassing his own record of 1:27.24 set at the inaugural race at the Buddh International Circuit in 2011. Vettel’s Red Bull team-mate Mark Webber was only narrowly slower as he came in second at 1:26.87. Nico Rosberg of Mercedes Left: Sebastian Vettel is closing in on his fourth consecutive Formula One title, joining Juan Manuel Fangio and Michael Schumacher as the only drivers to achieve that feat.

was third at 1:26.89, followed by Romain Grosjean and Lewis Hamilton - all under the previous lap record. Vettel, who has been victorious the last five races this season, romped home easily in India in 2011 and 2012, and is strong favourite to triumph again in tomorrow’s feature race. However, anything higher than a sixth-place finish and Vettel will join compatriot Michael Schumacher and Juan Manuel Fangio of Argentina as the only drivers to win four consecutive F1 titles. The only way Vettel can be denied is if he fails to score a point in the remaining four races - and that’s provided Ferrari’s Alonso wins at least three of them and finishes second in the other. Victories in the last four races in India, Abu Dhabi, America and Brazil would also put Vettel level with Schumacher’s 2004 record of 13 wins in a single season. - AFP

A former Brisbane Bronco turned outlaw motorcycle gang member has been denied bail over drug trafficking charges under harsh new laws designed to stop bikies walking free. Michael Spence, 25, was one of eight men arrested on Wednesday in a police sting targeting the alleged ice trafficking outfit. Spence was the sergeant-atarms of the Hells Angels’ Brisbane chapter and alleged debt collector for accused ringleaders Bruno and Nuno Da Silva. Spence’s lawyer Jeff Hunter argued the new laws were passed too late to apply to his client, nut Chief Magistrate Tim Carmody ruled that the new bail laws did apply to Spence and ordered he be remanded in custody. - AAP

Kenyan Vice President William Ruto must attend his crimes against humanity trial at the International Criminal Court and can only be excused under “exceptional circumstances”, the ICC has ruled. “The appeals chamber deems it appropriate to reverse the impugned decision,” Judge Sang-Hyun Song said on Friday of an earlier ruling excusing Ruto from most of his trial before the Hague court. - AFP

the long drive home. Governor-General Quentin Bryce toured the charred lower Blue Mountains suburbs of Winmalee and Springwood. “Thank you for what you’ve done,” she said, speaking not only to locals but to the 2000odd firefighters from across the country who joined in the effort to save lives and homes in NSW. Tributes flowed for pilot David Black, who died when his aircraft crashed while fighting a fire at Wirritin in Budawang National Park, west of Ulladulla.

His was the second life lost in the fires. A 63-year-old man died defending his Central Coast home last Thursday. Deputy Commissioner Rob Rogers said there was a sense of hiatus at the Rural Fire Service (RFS) headquarters, but dangerous fire weather could hit within days and dozens of fires continued to burn across the state. “The fact is it’s going to take weeks, not days, to get containment on all these fires,” he told AAP. “People do get fatigued particularly when it’s warning

after warning going out to the same communities.” No one should be under any illusion that the dire scenarios predicted for Wednesday - like the fear that major fires could merge to form a super fire spanning the Blue Mountains - were over-hyped, he said. “The community tends to view the fact that we didn’t have mayhem and destruction by saying, ‘Oh, well it didn’t happen’. “Well it didn’t happen because a lot of people worked hard to stop it happening.” - AAP

France, Germany push for new spy rules France and Germany have pushed for Washington to agree to new rules on espionage after damaging revelations the United States tapped German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s mobile phone and spied on other allies. Paris and Berlin will “seek bilateral talks with the US” to reach an understanding by year’s end on the conduct of intelligence gathering among allies, EU President Herman Van Rompuy told reporters after a first day of EU summit talks yesterday. Van Rompuy said other countries could join if they wished.

In brief

‘Bushfire burnout’ warning Leaders have praised the legions of firefighters and residents who stared down NSW’s 10-day bushfire crisis that is only now easing. But amid the camaraderie and consolation there were concerns about bushfire burnout setting in - a full month out from summer. “It’s just terrifying that we’re sitting here in spring and we’ve had all these hot fires,” Blue Mountains Mayor Mark Greenhill told AAP yesterday. “There’s still a lot of unburned bush and we’ve got the height of summer to come.” His community has been hardest hit by the bushfire crisis that began last week. More than 200 local families have lost their homes and all three of the blazes burning at a watch and act level yesterday were in the mountains west of Sydney. At Springwood in the mountains, what had been the most destructive fire in the state was being controlled after burning more than 3300 hectares. Fires at Mount York and the State Mine Fire in Lithgow, started by an army explosives exercise, were also being brought under control. Firefighters were patrolling and mopping up at Gateshead in the Lake Macquarie area where a fire had threatened homes at Dudley and Redhead, the RFS said. More than 800 firefighters remained on the state’s firegrounds yesterday and just over 50 fires continued to burn, but many interstate and metropolitan firefighters have begun

In a statement, the 28 EU leaders “underlined the close relationship between Europe and the USA and the value of that partnership.” This partnership “must be based on respect and trust, including as concerns the work and cooperation of secret services,” the Europeans stressed. Britain has long-established intelligence ties with the United States but questioned on London’s role, Van Rompuy stressed that all leaders had agreed on the text. Britain “of course has a special relationship (with the US) ... but they are completely on board with this text”, he added.

Merkel had arrived at the two-day talks saying: “Spying between friends, that’s just not done” after reports the US National Security Agency had eavesdropped her calls. “We need trust between partners and such trust needs to be re-established,” she said. The summit was meant to discuss boosting employment and the digital economy but was quickly overtaken by the growing scandal which has embroiled US President Barack Obama in embarrassing exchanges with key allies - from France and Germany to Brazil and Mexico. More could follow after a

fresh slew of damaging revelations, with Britain’s Guardian newspaper saying Washington had listened in on the phone conversations of 35 world leaders. Hollande and Merkel called Obama earlier this week demanding clarification of claims the NSA had spied on millions of French phone calls and on the German leader personally. The French president called for a code of conduct, recalling that the EU had set up a special unit to review the issue after leaks by fugitive former US intelligence contractor Edward Snowden earlier this year. - AFP

Fighting has resumed between the army and rebels in the Democratic Republic of Congo, both sides and the United Nations say, just days after peace talks were suspended. Clashes took place some 25km to the north of the strategic eastern city of Goma, rebel spokesman Vianney Kazarama told AFP yesterday. Both sides accused each other of starting the fresh outbreak of fighting. - AFP

Buddhist leader dies Flags flew at half-mast and crowds of mourners have turned out to pay their respects after Thailand’s top Buddhist leader died aged 100. Supreme Patriarch Somdet Phra Nyanasamvara died due to a blood infection following recent surgery for an intestinal infection, according to Chulalongkorn hospital where he had been receiving treatment. Hundreds of mourners lined the busy six-lane road yesterday outside the hospital, from where the body of the Buddhist leader was due to be transported to a temple in the capital for religious ceremonies. Buddhism is Thailand’s state religion and around 95 per cent of the population is believed to follow it - the highest percentage in the world. - AFP

Kiwi on drug charges The New Zealand boss of a Christian charity who allegedly smuggled 8.5kg of heroin and methamphetamine into Australia has been committed to appear before the Northern Territory Supreme Court.

OUR VIEW

Mid Canty weekend full of action Michelle Nelson CHIEF REPORTER

id Canterbury will be the scene of an actionpacked weekend, with rugby, rodeo and racing on the agenda, beginning with the 1.30 kick-off for the Meads Cup challenge this afternoon. There has been no doubt of the support for the Hammers in the lead up to today’s game, with green and gold signs appearing around the district for the past week or so. Even the younger members of the community are on board, in particular at Netherby School, where the messages chalked on the footpath send a clear message. North Otago just pipped the Hammers by one point in the Heartland Challenge, giving the away team a psychological advantage – but countering that Mid Canterbury claimed the Meads Cup in 1994 and 1998, on both occasions in the Ashburton Showgrounds – so here’s hoping the home ground advantage will count today. Tomorrow crowds will flock toward the mountains and Methven will become the country’s cowboy capital for the day. The Methven Rodeo is a great day out for the whole family, offering an opportunity to see many of the country’s best cowboys, broncs and bulls in action. The sport has copped a lot of flak from animal rights activists in recent years, but the horses were not at all wary of a Guardian photographer dispatched to snap them this week, happy to follow him around looking for a pat. The Ashburton racecourse will be the scene of Monday’s action with a clash of the season’s top pacers in good form for the feature race, with Christen Me and Terror to Love tipped as favourites in the flying stakes. While the meeting will certainly pull the punters, the Labour Day race meeting is also a family affair with lots of on-course entertainment for youngsters and plenty of space for picnics.

An eventful week of memories

POLL RESULT Yesterday’s result Q: Would you be pleased to see a one-stop health centre in Ashburton?

Felicity Stacey Clark FOOD FOR THOUGHT

t has been an eventful week for me. On Tuesday Mum, Dad and I went to the Ashburton Trust Event Centre to see the song and dance show Magic Moments. Never having been to the event centre before, I was impressed. It certainly lived up to the descriptions I’d heard, and I was impressed by the access for the elderly and disabled. Mum and Dad, and I’m sure many of their peers, often hesitate to go out because of the possibility of being jostled, or having to stand for long periods. But that wasn’t an issue on Tuesday, which is a tribute to those involved in the design of the centre. We all loved what we saw and are still talking about it days later. I’m the least musical person I know (despite the efforts of Miss Lillian Lewis), but (I knew the words of all but two of the songs) and thought every aspect was incredibly professional and polished, and the all-Ashburton cast was stunning. Of all I saw, the cast member who impressed me most had to be Ashburton’s grande dame of musical theatre, Margaret Jackson. I’m sure she was in the cast of every musical theatre production I saw in my childhood. Now I’ve never met Margaret in person, but because of those childhood memories I feel like I know her. The next time she’s involved in something, GO!

Today’s online poll question Q: Have the recent nor’westers made your hay fever symptoms worse? (Poll closes on Sunday at 5pm)

I knew at least half of the faces on stage, even though I couldn’t put names to all of them, and I realised the familiarity went back to the days of the Ashburton Competitions. Do they still have them? The competitions were held as a showcase for mainly young local talent. A few out-of-towners entered, but it was mainly locals. They took part in age defined sections, including singing, and instrumental music; ballet, tap and Highland dancing; recitation and so forth, and they went for days.

They were held in the Radiant Hall, which brings me to another building, the arcade. News came in during the week that the arcade is to go. Both the Radiant and the arcade had quite distinctive curved roofs made, an old timer told me many years ago, by laminating planks and moulding them to shape. It got away with having to have a whole lot of supporting posts from floor to ceiling, hence the Radiant’s expansive dance floor. It’s an amazing architectural and engineering feat for any-

thing dating back to the 1880s. I have a feeling that there will only be one such building left in the middle of town once the arcade goes. I remember having to walk through the arcade as described in the Guardian when I was a youngster. Not only was it dingy and dirty, but it also put people at risk of unwanted deposits from the pigeons above. There was also a taxidermist’s, with a gruesome display of dead animals, and their even deader eyes. Scary.

YOUR STARS by Forecasters

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20) An unrushed feeling gives you permission to take your work hat off, put life’s other demands aside and focus on home and family matters. TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) Your relationships are the first to benefit from a chance to give the past and unsaid words a voice. It’s never too late for a second chance. GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) An alignment between the Moon and Jupiter in your income sector today will be sure to give you a nose for money and create some lucky hunches. CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) Your instincts will be telling you that there’ll be no last minute panic this year and that you really do need to slow down. LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) While your first thoughts might not be what you’ll stick with, take out those stepping stones and you’ll never reach the real revelations. VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) The forces in play this weekend not only have the power to put you in the right place at the right time, but to trigger some Eureka moments. LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) With the doors already open to the past and second chances on the work and income fronts, be on the lookout for clues, hunches and signs. SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) Leave a rush mentality at the door, instead embracing a sense of curiosity and wanderlust. Stay in the moment and make it all about the journey. SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) While it might be hard to keep your professional and money hats off over the weekend, at least try and balance this with some time out. CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) Trust that you won’t lose your professional edge if you take time out over the weekend to make life’s other needs and wants a priority. AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) With the Sun spending his first weekend in your career sector and Mercury his first in retrograde motion step back and put things into perspective. PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 20) While there are playful and adventurous energies in play, professional forces will try to gate crash your weekend. Find a way to balance the two.
