Police rule out Facebook

By Sam Morton Social media will not be a priority for Mid Canterbury police.

Police stations in Mid-South Canterbury will not be establishing Facebook pages any time soon, according to the district’s boss.

Inspector Dave Gaskin, who looks after Mid-South Canterbury, has slammed the effects of social

media, pointing out the service would cause more problems than it would solve from a police perspective. The area includes all police stations in Timaru, South Canterbury and the Mt Cook/ Aoraki National Park, as well as the Ashburton, Geraldine, Rakaia and Methven stations.

Social media sites have been creeping up throughout the country in districts such as Auckland, Thames, Waikato and Wellington

– but Inspector Gaskin is not supporting the tool at all.

In fact, he is dead set against it.

“I’m really not a big fan of social media and from a police point of view, we need to be really careful not to lose sight of the messages we put out – it simply requires too much work,” Inspector Gaskin said.

“You need someone dedicated to regularly updating it and you need the commitment and resources to

do that - right now we don’t have those here and it is certainly not something I would be pushing for.”

Last week, some frontline officers throughout the North Island tweeted for a day, informing the public of their everyday happenings on the beat.

Earlier this year, it was announced all frontline staff would be receiving iPads and smartphone technology, but according

to Inspector Gaskin – social media sites certainly won’t be a ‘favourites tab’ among his staff.

“We can’t afford to be losing control of a social media page and I don’t see a Facebook page having any value in what we do in Mid-South Canterbury,” he said.

“We have looked at it in the past, but right now it’s not a reality for us, as we have better ways to utilise our staff and resources.

I can see in other centres it would

have benefits, but certainly not for our district or for our workforce.

“We’re doing a great job without it and there are so many different issues associated with Facebook or other sites that we can do without.”

So clearly, Inspector Gaskin and his troops will not be clicking ‘Like’ on the NZ Police Facebook page – or that link on any of the 30-odd Facebook profiles throughout New Zealand either.

Ploughman has home paddock advantage

By Linda Clarke Wakanui farmer Alan Begg is past getting butterflies prior to big ploughing matches. He is Mid Canterbury’s only ploughman at the Silver Plough next week and is relying on experience to execute the perfect furrow.

Mr Begg has already represented New Zealand at world ploughing events in Australia, France and Switzerland and is a regular top finisher in district matches.

He also has years of ploughing on the farm under his belt and a home paddock advantage at this year’s nationals. He has already been over to Lincoln to check the competition plot. Organisers have been keeping water up to it so soil quality is not affected by the lack of rain.

Mr Begg will head back to Lincoln on Tuesday with his trusty Ford tractor and Kverneland plough for the official practise days, then join competitors from all over the country for a trip to Akaroa and Christchurch city’s quake-damaged centre.

After plots have been drawn on Friday, the competition proper starts on Saturday April 6. The ploughmen and one ploughwoman are competing for a trip to France next year as national champions in the conventional and reversible ploughing categories.

Contestants plough both stubble and grass paddocks, with judges scrutinising each furrow for form and shape.

“I am past getting worried about these types of events,” a relaxed Mr Begg said. “Some of the new ploughmen might struggle, but that is where my experience comes in.”

He says the skill of ploughing will always be valuable on farms, despite the push to minimum-tilling and direct drilling practices. Competition ploughing requires extra care and attention though.

Mr Begg, who will compete in the conventional class, had his plough hooked up yesterday for some serious practice. He is looking forward to a close contest.

Another Mid Canterbury ploughman Gordon Carter will be competing in a national vintage ploughing competition being held in conjunction with the Silver Plough.

The many visitors expected at the nationals in Lincoln are being encouraged to stay in the district for another week to attend the Mid Canterbury Vintage Farm Machinery’s wheat and wheels rally, when farming machines of yesteryear will line up beside some of the most modern tractors on the planet.

Alan Begg is a cool customer leading up to the national ploughing championships in Lincoln next week.

Two DOC jobs to go

By Myles Hume At least two jobs are set to go at the Department of Conservation office which oversees Mid Canterbury, it was confirmed yesterday.

The Department of Conservation’s (DOC) media advisor Fiona Oliphant released proposed changes to the operational structure of the Canterbury region which is set to gain 2.8 jobs overall.

Nationally, there are 140 DOC jobs expected to go.

Although the plans show some offices across the Canterbury region are expected to gain job positions, the Raukapuke area office, which is responsible for conservancy from the Rakaia River to the Waitaki River and to the main divide, could lose jobs.

Ms Oliphant said the Raukapuke office currently had 13.8 permanent staff on site, but the proposed overhaul of DOC’s structure could take that number down to 11, culling 2.8 jobs.

“At this stage it’s too early to say what the final structure will be or what impact it will have on individual staff. DOC is consulting with staff about the proposed structure and will consider feedback before making any final decisions,” Ms Oliphant said.

It will be a significant blow to the office which has been undergoing expansive projects in the Ashburton Lakes District.

But Ms Oliphant said if the proposals go ahead, the impact would be watered down by DOC’s decision to “freeze recruitment” in December, which left four vacancies at the Raukapuke office which is funded to employ 17.8 staff.

“As with most regions, there is a small change overall with some sites getting more roles and some getting less – based on an analysis of the work to be done in each region and the locations that the department believes it would be best to do work from,” Ms Oliphant said.

With the cuts set to ensure DOC meets its $8.7 million savings target, it would also reduce its 11 existing regional conservancy boundaries and replace them with six regions – three in the South Island and three in the North Island.

Also under consideration is the formation of two new groups to deal with field work and external relations.

Ms Oliphant said the Raukapuke area would likely fall under the Eastern South Island umbrella.

The Twizel office is set to lose 1.4 jobs while Aoraki Mt Cook and Christchurch are set to gain jobs with 1.5 and 9.5 positions respectively.

Baillie’s ready to hit Methven streets

By Jonathan Leask Baillie Perriton will be proudly displaying the New Zealand number two on his bike in this weekend’s Mountain Thunder Street Race in Methven.

The 15-year-old Perriton is fresh off finishing second in the 250 production class in his maiden New Zealand Superbike Championships and will compete in the Bucket and Formula Cams class around the tight street circuit.

At 13 years of age Perriton raced in the Mountain Thunder in 2011 and was still the youngest rider last year but with a national superbike series under his belt he will be one to watch for a different reason this year.

Perriton had misfortune follow him through the first four rounds in his maiden superbike championship but still entered last weekend’s fifth and final round in Taupo in third place.

In the first race Perriton was third for most of the race but pulled a spectacular overtaking

manoeuvre into the last turn on the last lap to take second place.

In the second race he came in third and then with a 16 point lead going into the final race it was crucial just to finish in the points and Perriton rode a comfortable race to finish fourth and seal second place in the 250 production championship.

This season was originally supposed to be a development season but Perriton’s performances surpassed Team Kiwistars director Merv Orford’s expectations.

“Baillie has surpassed every

goal that I had at the start of the year. He shows such maturity in the way he approaches his racing and has already got people talking.

“Most are surprised when they learn he is still only 15 as his level of skill and off track presentation is that of a much more mature rider. I have no doubt that this young lad will represent New Zealand in the next few years in overseas competition.”

But this weekend he returns to the streets of Methven where he and more than 50 other riders

will be reaching speeds of up to 200 kilometres per hour on the one kilometre street circuit right through the Methven town centre, featuring all classes of bikes, ranging from classics to formula one.

Racing starts at 9am on Easter Saturday.

Police call for care on roads

By Sam Morton Enjoy your Easter, stick to the lowered speed limit and get home in one piece.

That’s the message the police want to send as the Easter holiday period draws in and thousands of motorists gear up for the long weekend.

As of 4pm today, a 4km/h speed tolerance will be enforced by police, meaning motorists caught exceeding 4km/h over the permanent speed limit will likely receive infringement action.

The grandmother of a toddler who suffered life-threatening hypothermia after his Child Youth and Family caregivers subjected him to cold showers wants to take legal action against the organisation.

The grandmother, from Morrinsville, said CYF needed to be held accountable for her 2-year-old grandson’s injuries, alongside his abusers.

Eunice Towns, 42 and her husband Stephen Towns, 52 were sentenced in Tauranga District Court on Tuesday on assault charges.

Both admitted abusing the boy over a five-week period during April and May last year, using excessive force when disciplining the toddler.

The boy’s grandmother, who cannot be identified, said yesterday she was “devastated� when she heard what had happened to the little boy. “I want to take action against CYF myself, but I haven’t seen a lawyer yet.�

She said it wasn’t just the CYF case worker who was at fault, but the entire organisation. “Someone’s got to be responsible. “They took the boy off his mother because she couldn’t care and protect him and they’ve sent him to people who (also couldn’t protect him).�

The boy was sent to the Towns’ home in Whakatane from Hamilton.

The grandmother said she did not know why he had to be sent so far away when other family members had offered to look after him.

The Towns were given home-based and community work sentences, which the grandmother said was “disappointing�. “I think they should have gone to jail.�

CYF was unavailable for comment.

The court was told the couple subjected the boy to regular cold showers three times a day, and on May 11 Eunice Towns became so enraged she put the child in a cold shower for 5 to 10 minutes.

When the unconscious toddler was examined at Whakatane Hospital he was found to be suffering from lifethreatening hypothermia, and also had 73 bruises and 10 abrasions all over his body.

Ashburton youngster Frida Wood, 2, is waiting to hand her mother an Easter egg at Ashburton New World. The supermarket is expecting one of its busiest weekends of the year.

Supermarkets ask for patience

By Myles Hume Shoppers have been left with one message as supermarkets approach one of their most hectic periods of the year. “Be patient.�

That’s the words of New World Ashburton owner operator Tony Sheppard, who is expecting the usual Easter rush as locals scamper to pick up last-ditch Easter goods before they head away for the long weekend.

With the car park set to be full, trolleys quickly gathering in the bays and hoards of shoppers grabbing products off the shelf, it is expected to be one of the busiest three days of the year. “It’s the second busiest time of the year after Christmas, we are expecting to be really busy today because we are closed Friday and Sunday; Saturday will be a really full-on day too,� Mr Sheppard said.

To cope with the influx, the store will be pulling in reinforcements, putting more staff on the floor to

operate all the checkouts while others will keep the shelves stocked. “We have to keep on top of things and stay organised, and hopefully at the end of it, we won’t have too much (stock) left over,� Mr Sheppard said. “And if all the checkouts are manned, we’re doing the best we can.�

Mr Sheppard said hot cross buns and Easter eggs have been the typical favourites this year, and shoppers usually picked up a few extra items along the way.

Remembering Jesus’ sacrifice Thousands of Christians across Mid Canterbury will gather this weekend to remember the sacrifice Jesus made for his people.

Ashburton Baptist Church was already putting preparations in place yesterday to symbolise Jesus’ resurrection after he died on the cross on Good Friday for the sins of his people.

The Biblical story explains how Jesus was nailed to a cross and after he died his body was carried to a tomb.

The Baptist church members (from left) Colleen Pinfold, Bill Dodge and Michelle Cook have constructed a tomb to re-enact the biblical story. The rock covering it will be rolled away with a light shone through to represent Jesus’ resurrection on Easter Sunday.

They also created a sign reading: “3 nails + 1 cross = 4 given� to be put on the church’s front window.

The church is expecting up to 200 people to attend its services starting tomorrow, with services to be held on Saturday with the main mass to take place on Sunday.

Seven arrests following attack Seven people have been arrested over an incident in Tauranga that left a man with serious head wounds.

About 2am on March 3 two vehicles containing several people arrived at a car park in Twelfth Avenue.

The vehicle occupants were all armed with weapons described by witnesses as ranging from large bladed knives to lengths of

steel chain, and a sword.

An assault took place, resulting in a 20-year-old man suffering serious head injuries.

He was hospitalised for several days.

Yesterday police searched a number of properties in Tauranga and arrested six men and one woman aged between 21 and 39, all associates or members of a criminal gang,

said police. Officers also recovered stolen property including a farm motorbike, a road bike, and a small number of cannabis plants.

All seven face a joint charge of participating in an organised criminal group.

The seven are due to appear at Tauranga District Court today.

Further charges were likely.

Man messes with the wrong person A man who pushed a bicycle into the path of a car realised the folly of his actions when the driver of the vehicle turned out to be an off-duty policeman.

The resulting confrontation resulted in Jonty Charles Pickett, 18, of Taylorville, appearing in the Greymouth District Court on Wednesday on charges of breaching a liquor ban, disorderly behaviour and resisting arrest. He was convicted on all charges and remanded on bail for sentencing on June 18.

The court was told Pickett had been warned twice earlier this year for breaching the Greymouth liquor ban and, buoyed by the consumption of home brew whisky, he was again openly drinking when he pushed the bike in front to the car.

When the constable got out, Pickett recognised him and said: “You can’t do anything because you’re not working�.

When two officers who were on duty quickly arrived on the scene Pickett refused to comply with their requests, struggling with and spitting at them.

Judge John Strettell said it was obvious that alcohol was the root cause of all Pickett’s problems and it was up to him to do something about it.

If Pickett has voluntarily entered and successfully completed an alcohol addiction course by June 18 he will be convicted and discharged, but if not he will face a more severe penalty.

Fonterra Flat-out making Easter treats WHAT’SON payout rise welcome relief

Some tips for the weekend

Saturday:

By Sue Newman

By Michelle Nelson and APNZ Fonterra’s strong result will offer a welcome relief for the co-operative’s farmers, a local industry spokesperson says.

The dairy co-operative has lifted its payout forecast and posted a 33 per cent increase in net profit after tax of $459 million for the half year to January 31.

The group forecast a 30 cents a kilogram milk solids lift in a payout of $5.80/kg, raising its total forecast payout for the 2012-2013 season to $6.12/kg for a fully shared-up farmer.

This is down of last year’s payout of $6.40.

The forecast dividend is 32c a share.

Fonterra also tightened its earnings per share guidance to 45c50c per share.

With severe drought conditions in the North Island and West Coast, and on the back of rising global dairy prices, sparked by anticipated product shortages, yesterday’s announcement offered some reassurance for struggling farmers.

Mid Canterbury Federated Farmers dairy section chairperson Hamish Davidson although the overall result was not as high as expected, adjusting the advance

Wearing a helmet may have saved the life of a climber who fell 140m on a rocky peak near Mt Awful, in the Mt Aspiring National Park, yesterday.

The New Zealand climber, whose name had not been released, was helicoptered to Dunedin Hospital with serious head, back, face and arm injuries.

Constable Les Andrew of Twizel police said the man was in a party of four climbers descending and sidling around a rocky ridge.

His foot slipped on a damp rock and he fell - 3m at first and then another 140m.

After a debriefing of the

Department of Conservation alpine rescue team at Mt Cook late yesterday afternoon, Constable Andrew said the man was lucky to be alive and the fact he was wearing a helmet may have saved him.

Rescue Co-ordination Centre search and rescue mission co-ordinator Dave Wilson said the man, in his 60s, required “some serious medical attention”.

He was flown off the mountain by helicopter to Queenstown Hospital and then to Dunedin Hospital.

The centre was alerted at about 11am by a personal locator beacon carried by the party of four climbers, and a Helicopter Line helicopter flew the rescue team to the scene of the fall, near the Gillespie Pass at an altitude of about 1300m.

rate and bringing the cash flow forward would alleviate the pressure on farmers.

An interim dividend of 16c a share, up 4c last on this time last year, will be paid on April 19.

Following yesterday’s announcement the recently floated Fonterra Shareholders’ Fund gained 2.1 per cent to trade at $7.15.

Earnings before interest and tax were up 26 per cent at $693m but revenue was down by 7 per cent on the same period last year at $9.3 billion.

Fonterra’s chairman John Wilson attributed this to lower dairy commodity prices earlier in the period and the strength of the Kiwi dollar against the US offsetting the higher volumes sold.

Milk volumes were up 6 per cent after good spring and early summer production.

Fonterra reported external sales volume growth of 8 per cent to 2.1 million tonnes.

Earnings per share were up 21 per cent on the same period last year.

The economic debt to equity of New Zealand’s biggest company was 40 per cent, improving on last year’s 47 per cent.

Helmet saves climber

By Mark Price

Nadine Porter’s home is a chocoholic’s paradise.

What was once her garage is now a chocolate factory and yesterday she was busy, elbow deep in caramel, creating mouthwatering, chocolate-coated Easter eggs.

In less than four years, Mrs Porter has carved out a niche for herself in the nation’s chocolate market, supplying outlets in both the North and South Island with a range of confectionery and that includes thousands of Easter eggs.

And if making chocolate is your business, Easter is bonus time, a bonus time that starts very early.

“We started with eggs in January.

As soon as Christmas is over we start on Easter. Our orders started going out at the end of January and with Geraldine open all weekend we’ll keep making until Tuesday,” she said.

Inevitably the Easter rush means long hours in the factory, but loss of sleep is a sacrifice the mum-ofthree is prepared to make to ensure her product makes it into the market on time and as close to perfect as hand made can be.

Two experienced egg makers can turn out about 200 eggs in an hour, but when your orders run into many thousands that adds up to mountains of chocolate and caramel, buckets of marshmallows and hundreds of hours of hard work.

She’s gone the full circle with the business, starting out in a small way making chilli chocolate from home, moving to an Ashburton base and then moving back home, this time to a commercial kitchen and a booming business.

The creative side of the business is exciting, Mrs Porter said, and she’s always dreaming up new flavour combinations. It’s a business she says, she’s just fallen into, but it’s a business that has grown into one that requires several staff.

“I always try to keep things fresh and new. The business has exceeded what I thought and hoped and I’m at a point where I feel very comfortable with all aspects of chocolate and candy making,” she said.

When the last Easter egg leaves the factory, Mrs Porter will be turning her mind to Christmas. It might be nine months away but already her stockists are asking for the lines she has planned.

In between there will be new ideas for Mother’s day and Father’s day to dream up and new taste temptations to add to her stock in trade, individual chocolates.

Message of renewal and hope is still relevant E

aster is first and foremost a significant date on the millennia-old Christian calendar, and although church attendance is declining many people will make an extra effort to take a seat on a pew this weekend.

But, regardless of race or creed, the Easter message will infiltrate almost all New Zealand households this weekend.

The ubiquitous Easter egg,

The message of renewal and hope is still relevant.

Flu vaccine In Monday’s news briefs from APNZ you printed a little piece on midwives not taking up the free flu vaccine.

Quoted is that only 37 per cent of midwives employed by health boards took up the offer. As is often said, “there are lies and then there are damned lies and then there are statistics”.

I would like to offer one more after statistics, “then there are the utterances of politicians”.

My lovely wife and her many colleagues across New Zealand who are very highly qualified health professionals [unlike the Minister] that do an amazing job aiding women to overcome their

fears and trepidations in order to have beautiful babies simply do not go to work if they get the flu [I know, I have nursed mine at home when she has been off].

They know that the most important thing about caring for pregnant women is to avoid cross infection at all costs – even if that means losing their pay to someone else for cover while they are sick, if they work independently.

Health Minister Tony Ryall says that he will give free vaccinations to four year olds and that this year’s flu could be a killer.

He must have inherited his memory from David Shearer and John Banks.

On the other hand maybe as so many politicians have bad memo-

ries, the statistics must be saying that it is something to do with the construction of the Beehive that does it, let’s pull it down and build a new one.

The deadly swine flu of a couple of years ago was known to be many times less virulent than the general flu before the epidemic was declared which is why the FDA stopped keeping records of which sort of flu people had in order to fudge the statistics in favour of the vaccine peddlers.

And yet Tony’s ministry still fraudulently claimed that it was a killer and we should all get the toxin-laden, untested jab to prevent a return to the 1916 epidemic that killed millions.

Maybe – just maybe – the mid-

wives of New Zealand are more intelligent than Tony Ryall and have worked out how deadly the vaccines themselves can be to the most vulnerable small people in our society.

It doesn’t take a great mind to work your way around the statistics put out by the “marketing experts” to find an inkling of the true state of play.

It is obvious that Tony Ryall has not found his way around the statistics, and he is in charge.

At least his counterpart in Poland had the balls to stand up to the pharmaceutical companies in the last so-called swine flu epidemic and saved her country millions of dollars.

Fears held for missing Katikati man Fears are growing for a missing Katikati pensioner who has not been seen since setting off from his home by car on Tuesday morning.

Frank John Knowles (83) departed Katikati at 10am, intending to travel to visit his granddaughter in Auckland.

Arrangements had been made for him to have dinner there and

stay overnight before driving to Whangarei yesterday to his daughter’s address.

Mr Knowles had never been to his granddaughter’s address before but he was provided with full details.

He is described as being of sound mind and very capable of finding his way.

Mr Knowles was not in the habit

of driving great distances but he is described as a cautious driver and normally very organised - “a creature of habit”.

He was driving a baby blue coloured 1996 Honda Accord LXI Auto saloon registration number UN1109.

He was possibly wearing brown trousers, a shirt and running shoes.

Boy’s therapy under way The father of a boy whose mother failed in a legal bid to stop radiation therapy for a brain tumour says his son is reacting well to treatment.

A High Court in the UK last year ruled that New Zealander Sally Roberts’ 8-year-old son Neon would undergo treatment for a cancerous tumour.

Ms Roberts had wanted to treat her son with alternative methods because she feared the radiation treatment would change and damage her son.

Neon’s father Ben, from London, said his son had completed the first course of radiotherapy and doctors were pleased with his process.

He said there were times when his son was tired and needed to rest, but on other occasions “he is his usual happy and playful self”.

Ms Roberts said she hoped to mount further court action in spite of failing in legal bids to prevent her son receiving treatment.

Ms Roberts made headlines last year when she went on the run with Neon to stop him having the treatment after surgery to remove a brain tumour.

They were found after a five-day search and Ms Roberts subsequently lost a court battle over Neon’s treatment in December.

-APNZ

There are concerns for his safety as his family has not seen or heard from him since he left Katikati on Tuesday. This is out of character.

If you have any information on Mr Knowles whereabouts, and for any sightings of him or his vehicle, please contact police by calling 111 (quote reference number P013275864).

The Earthquake Commission has laid a complaint with Christchurch police that Bryan Staples, the recipient of an accidental email including private customer information, threatened to use the email to extract preferential payment of invoices.

EQC chief executive Ian Simpson said the action was being taken “because the recipient has gone back on his word, and in the process may have broken the law”.

“Bryan Staples told EQC yesterday that he will retrieve the email and attachment after providing verbal and written assurances, and a signed statutory declaration, that he would delete them.

“The confidential information was released by mistake. We have apologised for that and we are determined not to add to any distress already caused by the mistake”, Mr Simpson said.

Mr Staples, an insurance advocate and former EQC employee, allegedly sent an email advising EQC that if the commission paid particular accounts “in full within the required timeframe, there will be no media announcement and the matter will die a natural death”.

Mr Simpson said the invoices Mr Staples was seeking payment for related to work that he began without EQC’s prior approval.

“EQC is treating these invoices in the same way as we treat other situations where a customer chooses to do repair work themselves and then invoices EQC without first seeking EQC’s approval.

EQC does not pay invoices on a no questions asked basis.”

Mr Staples said he was going to apply to the District Court to retrieve the email.

He said he wanted to use the information in it to support his civil action against EQC for not paying him money he says he is owed.

It was “bullying” tactics for the commission to involve the police, he said.

“If you owe someone $700,000, you better pay him, you don’t call

Bryan Staples in the police and use bully-boy tactics. Get your cheque book out and send me a cheque.”

He said he had a lot of support from the community.

Mr Staples said he believed EQC was not paying homeowners the right amount to have their houses fixed and he needed the email information to prove his claim.

He said EQC had “no right” to say they needed to give approval to work before agreeing to pay for it.

He had received legal advice that there was nothing in law requiring anyone to get approval before fixing their houses.

“This is something that EQC is doing off their own back - policy on the run.”

Mr Staples denied he was breaching an agreement in asking the court to give permission to retrieve the email because the requirements in the agreement had expired.

“They stuffed up, they stuffed up as they always do.

“I’m not trying to distribute information, all I’m trying to do is gather evidence of the cases we are taking to court.”

If the court did not grant him permission to retrieve the email, he would ask for it under discovery, Mr Staples said.

Collins released from custody Former All Black Jerry Collins has been released from custody in Japan, his lawyer says.

The former All Black, Hurricane and Wellington Lion was released from custody in the industrial city of Hamamatsu at 3pm yesterday Japan time (7pm NZT), lawyer and manager Tim Castle said.

Collins had been in custody since the evening of Sunday, March 17, following his arrest at a city department store for carrying two knives.

“Late yesterday Jerry agreed to pay a fine of Y150,000 (about $NZ1900) and admitted his possession of the knives, contrary to the provisions of the local sword control regulations, as terms for his release,” Mr Castle said in a statement.

Japanese authorities had accepted that it was a minor indiscretion and that there were extenuating circumstances for the possession and that there was neither sinister nor threatening purpose behind the inci-

dent. “Jerry’s good character with no previous blemish was also accepted as was his community and public service in New Zealand,” said Mr Castle, who flew to Japan to be with Collins this week.

He took with him supporting material from Porirua Mayor Nick Leggett and senior councillor Litea Ah Hoi attesting to Collins’ service to the community and help to young people.

New Zealand Rugby and All Blacks management, together with other sports leaders and organisations, also provided letters of support.

“All of those supporting Jerry Collins spoke of his qualities and his service as an elite athlete who had represented his country with distinction,” Mr Castle said.

Collins was very pleased the ordeal was over and he could put it behind him.

He said he was grateful for the consular support and advice he had received from the New

Zealand Government.

Collins, 32, told TV3’s John Campbell this week that he had a “misunderstanding” with a gang in Japan and that he feared for his safety.

He believed he was being followed on the day of the incident, resulting in his walking behind a counter at the upmarket store and taking out a knife in front of frightened staff.

Collins said he believed he wouldn’t be attacked around so many people and was relieved to be arrested and taken away.

Rumours he was on drugs were not true and all tests had come back negative.

He said he was treated “very kindly and very generously” and looked after as well as “humanly possible” in the prison.

Collins, a 48-test All Black and one-time captain, joined Japanese rugby club Yamaha Engines Jubilo in 2011 but announced his resignation to coincide with his contract ending last month.

By Edward Gay The man charged with murdering pregnant woman Rae Portman has pleaded not guilty, and will face trial later this year.

Paraire Te Awa appeared briefly at the high Court at Auckland yesterday where he entered his plea through his lawyer Peter Kaye.

Mr Kaye said the trial has been set down for four weeks in October.

Te Awa has been remanded in custody.

There were two developments in the police investigation into the dis-

appearance and death of Ms Portman last week.

Police arrested Dean Michael Addison and charged him with kidnapping.

Addison appeared at the Papakura District Court on Thursday. The 36-year-old also faces drugs charges, including possessing and supplying methamphetamine.

Addison’s lawyer Mark Ryan applied for name suppression for his client, despite Addison’s name already being reported.

Mr Ryan said Addison and his wife - who was also in court - feared for their safety.

Judge Sharon McAuslan asked what the fears were about.

Mr Ryan replied: “Because of the background that Your Honour isn’t appraised of at this stage.”

Crown prosecutor Anna Pollett opposed the application and said it was in the interests of the police investigation for Addison’s name to be reported.

After speaking with Addison’s wife, Mr Ryan withdrew his application “so police can carry out their enquiries”.

Another man, Lee Rigby, appeared at the Manukau District Court last Wednesday and pleaded guilty to kidnapping Ms Portman.

areBS99 you 7HD taking?

Portman, 33, was four months pregnant when she went missing.

Her body was found when police officers visited an Ardmore farm on the Papakura-Clevedon road in September last year.

It is understood police did not expect to find a body when they visited the farm but became suspicious when they found items, including clothing, belonging to her.

They widened their No search to a spot 12,152 near trees about 300 metres across a paddock, and would say only that the body was found “covered”. It is understood it was in an offal pit.

Big demand for hot cross buns

By Gabrielle Stuart Hot cross buns are a definite favourite with Mid Canterbury residents, who have consumed more than 60,000 of the Easter buns this year.

Brian Sim of Sim’s Bakery in Tinwald said that close to 2000 dozen buns had been made at the bakery this Easter, bringing the number of buns devoured by their customers alone close to 24,000.

He said they have been selling the buns since mid-February, and have seen demand for the Easter buns steadily grow.

“They’ve been selling extremely well. We’ve been flat out. Last Friday we made 200 packets and they were sold out by 10 in the morning, so we underestimated just how popular they were.”

He said more than 200 dozen buns would be baked today, before the bakery closed for the long weekend.

“It takes about half an hour to prepare each batch, so we’ll be kept very busy. We had a lady come in recently who told us she thought they were the best hot cross buns in New Zealand, and that makes the hard work worthwhile.”

At 100 Piper’s Bakery hot cross buns have only been sold since the beginning of March, but in that

time more than 6000 buns crossed the counter.

At Couplands bakery in Ashburton the buns weren’t made on site, but marketing assistant Jean Butcher said packets sold in Mid Canterbury this Easter period numbered in the thousands.

Although hot cross buns are considered an Easter staple in New Zealand and are often available from late February, traditionally they were only eaten on Good Friday.

The origin of hot cross buns is traditionally dated back to 1381, when Father Thomas Rocliffe, a monk and cook at the St Albans Monastery in England, began making spiced buns to give out to the poor on Good Friday alongside the usual bowl of soup.

Traditionally Good Friday was considered a ‘Black Fast’ day of mourning and the devout would eat or drink nothing but tea, but the specially blessed hot cross bun could have been considered an exception.

In Tudor times a bylaw was introduced in London in 1592 forbidding the sale of ‘cross buns’ except on Good Friday, Christmas and at burials, “upon pain or forfeiture of all such spiced bread to the poor”.

At the time they were thought to give special protection against danger and disease.

Teen girl mauled to death by dogs A 14-year-old girl has been found dead in Britain after apparently being mauled by five “out of control” dogs, police say.

Police were called to a house in Atherton, near Manchester in northwest England, where they found the body and “were confronted by a number of dogs that were aggressive and out of control”, a statement said.

Four of the dogs, believed to be bull mastiffs and Staffordshire bull terriers, were put down humanely by armed response officers, while the fifth was secured inside the house.

The teenager named as Jade Anderson was believed to be visiting the house where she died and nobody else was present.

Superintendent Mark Kenny of Greater Manchester Police offered his condolences to the teenager’s family and said the incident was “extremely distressing”.

“While our inquiries to find out what happened are ongoing, this girl’s injuries are consistent with her having been attacked by dogs,” he said in a statement.

The dead dogs are being examined as part of the police investigation. – AFP

Ms Sikand noted her client had apologised for any “unforeseen and totally unintended consequences of the call”.

Ms Saldanha’s husband Benedict Barboza and teenage children Junal and Lisha were at Westminster Coroner’s Court for the hearing.

Family lawyer John Cooper QC flagged a dispute over whether Austereo called the hospital prior to broadcasting the prank call as the station has claimed.

“As far as we are aware no such contact was made,” Mr Cooper told the court.

The family is also upset Ms Saldanha was answering calls at the matron’s office.

“Was it within her contract of employment and capabilities?” Mr Cooper asked, adding whether Ms Saldanha received proper care and counselling afterwards was beside the point.

• Breivik denied Norwegian prison authorities have rejected a request by mass killer Anders Behring Breivik to attend the funeral of his mother, who died last week after a long illness, his lawyer says. Breivik, a 34-year-old right-wing extremist who is serving a 21-year jail sentence for killing 77 people in twin attacks in July 2011, is being held under strict prison conditions. Officials at the highsecurity Ila prison near Oslo decided to extend his strict security regimen when it came up for review yesterday, and denied his request to attend the funeral, lawyer Tord Jordet – AFP said in an email.

She was sentenced to 15 years in prison in 2005 for killing a baby she had given birth to in 2002 after a concealed pregnancy. Having been held for three years before her trial, she ended up serving eight years of her sentence before being released in 2010.

In that case, the woman’s mother was convicted of helping her daughter to dispose of the body, which was placed in a sack and dumped in a derelict house.

Neighbours described Ms C as cheerful and amiable and said she had a young son.

By coincidence, details of the macabre freezer case emerged on the same day that the corpse of a baby aged less than one week was discovered by a dog in a flower bed at Pantin in the suburbs of Paris.

A Canadian judge has banned a 12-year-old girl from Facebook for a year after she threatened two teenagers.

According to Manitoba radio station CJOB the accused posted messages online saying she wanted to strangle her two 13-year-old former friends after a falling out over a boy.

She pleaded guilty to uttering threats and was sentenced to probation for one year and 50 hours of community service work, in addition to the judge’s order to delete her Facebook – AFP account.

Drowned babies found in freezer A 32-year-old Frenchwoman has admitting drowning two of her own newborn children, a prosecutor says, after infant corpses were found in a freezer at her home.

The woman, identified as Ms C, has been in custody since Monday, when her partner called officers to the house in the small town of Amberieu in eastern France after discovering one of the frozen bodies.

“She has said that she killed the two babies by drowning and that both of them were born alive,” the prosecutor in charge of the case, Denis Mondon, told reporters.

The babies were both boys and died in autumn 2011 and autumn 2012 respectively, according to the woman’s confession, the prosecutor said.

If autopsies confirm that the babies were drowned alive, Ms C will be charged with aggravated murder as she had a previous

Radio station to appear at hoax death inquest

A follower of Charles Manson has been arrested for allegedly trying to smuggle a cellphone inside a California prison where the mass murderer is housed.

California Department of Corrections spokeswoman Terry Thornton says 63-year-old Craig Carlisle Hammond was arrested at the weekend for investigation of conspiracy, possession of an illegal communication device and attempting to bring a cellphone into a prison. Hammond was taken to jail and is scheduled to be in court next month.

Authorities say Hammond had a wrist watch cellphone that was found by a correctional officer at Corcoran State Prison.

Manson, who is serving a life sentence for orchestrating a series of gruesome murders, has been caught with a smuggled cellphone twice in the past four years. – AP

RIGHT: A police officer stands outside the front door of a house in Manchester, England, where the body of a 14-yearold girl has been found dead after being mauled by dogs yesterday.

The Australian radio station that broadcast last year’s controversial royal prank call will be allowed to defend itself at the upcoming inquest into the death of British nurse Jacintha Saldanha.

The mother-of-two’s family yesterday suggested Southern Cross Austereo didn’t contact the hospital prior to broadcasting the hoax call in December.

At a pre-inquest hearing in London the family also questioned why the King Edward VII hospital had the Indian-born nurse answering calls instead of a receptionist.

Ms Saldanha committed suicide just days after 2Day FM DJs Mel Greig and Michael Christian rang the UK posing as the Queen and Prince Charles.

The 46-year-old transferred the call to a duty nurse who gave out information about Prince William’s pregnant wife Kate Middleton. Austereo yesterday was granted permission to appear at Ms Saldanha’s full inquest scheduled for May 2.

Lawyer Maya Sikand argued because of the station’s “perceived involvement” with the nurse’s death it should be able to exam-

Italy orders retrial in Knox sex murder N. Korea threatens US mainland In an astonishing legal aboutturn, Italy’s highest appeal court has quashed the acquittal of US student Amanda Knox over the sexual assault and brutal murder of her British housemate in 2007 and ordered a retrial.

Knox and her Italian former boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito – originally sentenced to 26 and 25 years in prison for killing Meredith Kercher – were acquitted on appeal in 2011 after four

North Korea’s military has put its “strategic” rocket units on a war footing, with a fresh threat to strike targets on the US mainland, Hawaii and Guam, as well as South Korea.

The move came as South Korea marked the third anniversary of the sinking of its naval vessel Cheonan by what Seoul insists was a North Korean submarine.

“All artillery troops including strategic rocket units and longrange artillery units are to be placed under class-A combat readiness,” the Korean People’s Army supreme command said in a statement.

The units should be prepared to attack “all US military bases in the Asia-Pacific region, including the US mainland, Hawaii and Guam” and South Korea, said the statement carried by the Korean Central News Agency.

The Pentagon in response urged Pyongyang to “stop threatening peace”, saying the KPA announcement “doesn’t help anyone”.

“We are concerned by any threat raised by the North Koreans.

“We take everything they say and everything they do very seriously,” said Pentagon spokesman George Little, adding US forces were “ready to respond to any contingency”.

“North Korea will achieve noth-

ing by threats or provocations which will only further isolate North Korea and undermine international efforts to achieve peace and stability in north-east Asia,” the spokesman said.

Despite a successful long-range rocket launch in December, most experts believe North Korea is years from developing a genuine inter-continental ballistic missile that could strike the mainland United States.

Hawaii and Guam would also be outside the range of its medium-range missiles, which would be capable, however, of striking US bases in South Korea and Japan.

North Korean leader Kim Jongun has spent the past few weeks touring frontline military units, monitoring live fire artillery drills and making inflammatory speeches about wiping out the enemy.

Sabre-rattling and displays of brinkmanship are nothing new in the region, but there are concerns that the current situation is so volatile that one accidental step could escalate into serious conflict.

“We are closely monitoring the situation. So far there has been no particular North Korean troop movement,” a South Korean defence ministry spokesman said.

years behind bars. Both now face a retrial in a Florence court after judges upheld a prosecution appeal against their acquittals, although no date has yet been set.

Knox, 25, said the news was “painful” and insisted “the prosecution’s theory of my involvement in Meredith’s murder has been repeatedly revealed to be completely unfounded and unfair”.

The Dominican immigrant who won one of the largest lottery jackpots in US history said yesterday he felt “pure joy” at winning, and he plans to buy a car so he doesn’t have to walk everywhere.

Pedro Quezada, a former shop owner who lives in a workingclass suburb of New York City, appeared at New Jersey lottery headquarters to officially claim the $338 million Powerball prize.

Lottery officials said Quezada had decided to accept the winnings in the form of a lump-sum payment worth $221 million, or about $152 million after taxes.

It’s the fourth-largest jackpot in Powerball history.

Quezada said his mind is not yet clear enough to know how he will use the money, but he said he could use a good car.

Asked what kind of car he has now, he said, “My feet.”

Until last year, he worked 15 hours a day at the store his son now runs.

“Imagine ... so much money,” Quezada said. “But it will not change my heart.”

He said he would share his winnings with family members

By Hamish Fletcher Telecom, New Zealand’s biggest internet retailer, has entered the consumer fibre market and says customers will be able to sign up to its ultrafast broadband plans from today.

The company said its UFB services will initially be available only to customers in areas where Chorus is rolling out the fibre internet network, which will cover 75 per cent of New Zealand by 2020.

Chorus won the lion’s share of the Government’s ultra-fast broadband contracts in 2011 and is responsible for building the network in Auckland, Rotorua, Nelson, Wellington and a large chunk of the South Island.

Telecom said it is still running trials with the UFB network builders in areas outside Chorus’ footprint (Ultrafast Fibre in the Central North Island, Northpower in Whangarei and Enable Networks in Christchurch).

The company, which has around half of the country’s broadband customers, is the first of the big internet retailers to offer services on the UFB network.

TelstraClear last year – could give no update on timing.

A spokesperson said it had been running trials since March last year.

Telecom’s entry-level plan costs $95 a month and offers download speeds of up to 30 megabits per second and upload speeds of up to 10 megabits per second.

The data cap in this plan is 50 gigabytes a month, although Telecom does offer more data in some of its more expensive plans.

Telecom’s premium plan for $125 a month offers speeds of 100Mb/s down, 50 Mb/s up and a data cap of 50GB. The company said it would not initially be imposing these data caps on new customers.

Landline phone rental services, a modem and installation, are included in the plan, which must be signed up to in a 12-month contract.

Telecom also announced a smallbusiness plan and a plan for schools.

Orcon and Slingshot entered the market in March and September last year.

Orcon offers customers an entry level plan of $75 a month for download speeds of 30Mb/s, upload speeds of 10Mb/s and a data cap of 30 GB. Its pricier plan of $110 a month

comes with speeds of 100Mb/s down and 50Mb/s up with a data cap of 30GB. Slingshot has plans at a similar price point, with a 30Mb/s down and 10Mb/s up service for $72, and more data and higher speeds in its more expensive offerings.

While these companies have been in the market for months, only 2.8 per cent of those able to hook up to ultrafast broadband had connected at the end of last year.

A statement from Communications and Information Technology Minister Amy Adams last month said as at December 31, more than 134,000 households and businesses can connect to the new fibre network.

Between October 1 and the end of last year, 33,000 “end users” had fibre rolled out to them, the statement said.

But of the 134,000 users which can access this faster internet infrastructure, only 3806 or 2.8 per cent had been connected.

More than 1300 of these had connected between the start of October and end of December.

Although these figures may appear low, Adams’ statement said they were in line with “government expectations and overseas experiences at this early – APNZ state of development”.

When Prince Harry visits the United States this May he’ll have to keep his clothes on – at least while he’s in New Jersey, the state’s governor Chris Christie says.

Christie, a blunt-talking, heavygirthed Republican, said he’ll make sure the party-loving British royal doesn’t repeat his naked Las Vegas antics that got him into hot water during his last US trip.

“I am going to spend the entire day with Prince Harry. Believe me, no-one is going to be getting naked,” Christie told New Jersey 101.5 radio yesterday.

Prince Harry found himself at the centre of a tabloid frenzy when nude photographs of him with an unidentified woman were published, in what resembled a game of strip billiards.

His upcoming US tour is heavily focused on charity and wounded veterans.

Hallentein Glasson, which runs the clothing chains for which it’s named, lifted first-half profit 15 per cent to meet the bottom of its own forecast range, and has struggled to gain traction due to unseasonally warm weather.

Net profit rose to $10.3 million, or 17.39 cents per share, in the six months ended February 1, from $9.8

million, or 15.14 cents, a year earlier, the Auckland-based company said in a statement.

That was at the bottom of its $10.3 million to $10.5 million guidance range, offered last month. Revenue rose 6.5 per cent to $115.7 million in the period.

Group sales are down 1 per cent in the first seven weeks of the new season from a year earlier, and the retailer isn’t optimistic about a turnaround in the sector. No annual guidance was

offered. “The first seven weeks of the new season have been a challenge with record warm temperatures making it difficult to get traction for the winter season both in Australia and New Zealand,” the company said.

“We do not expect the retail environment to show any significant uplift, and are working on the premise that conditions will be very competitive.”

The shares were unchanged at $5.50 on Tuesday, and have gained 5 per cent this year.

Business confidence slips from 19-month high New Zealand business confidence fell from a 19-month high in March as the agricultural sector turned gloomy, seeing falling profits and less employment as drought prevails in the North Island.

A net 35 per cent of firms expect general business conditions to improve in the year ahead, according to the ANZ Business Outlook, down from 39.4 per cent in the February survey.

Confidence in Northland, the first region where drought was declared this summer, “literally tanked” though

the survey results were mixed in other drought-affected regions, ANZ chief economist Cameron Bagrie said in a statement. Taranaki recorded the strongest confidence, which Bagrie attributed to the ramping up of oil and gas exploration.

A net 9.9 per cent of agricultural firms saw general business conditions worsening in the next 12 months, the only sector of five with a gloomy outlook. Agriculture was also the only sector to see falling profits, with a net

33.4 per cent seeing weaker earnings in the next 12 months, and was the only sector to expect fewer workers, at -15.4 per cent, and lower exports, at -5.1 per cent.

Firms seeing a pickup in their own business activity in the year ahead fell to a net 32.4 per cent from 37.6 per cent. Inflation expectations were little changed at 2.32 per cent but pricing intentions rose, with a net 22.3 per cent expecting to raise prices, up from 18.2 per cent in last month’s survey. – APNZ

$500k retention payment

By Pattrick Smellie The founding chief executive of MightyRiverPower, Doug Heffernan, will leave the company next year after 16 years at the helm under arrangements that trigger a $500,000 retention payment on top of his existing salary of almost $1.5 million last year.

The arrangements mean Heffernan will see through the company’s partial privatisation and its first full financial year as a publicly listed company.

MRP chair Joan Withers announced Heffernan had undertaken to stay on in the role through to the preparation of accounts for the year to June 30, 2014. He will work through to August 31, next year. A variation to his contract, disclosed last year, allows him a $500,000 retention payment for staying on until December 31, 2014.

The Government is preparing to sell

up to 49 per cent of MRP in a share offer to the public next month, with listing on the NZX and ASX expected before the Budget, in mid-May. MRP had previously announced a variation to Heffernan’s contract, creating a fixed term to either December 31 this year or, at the board’s option, to December 31, 2014, which would trigger the retention payment.

“We are fortunate that Doug, our chief executive since the company’s formation in 1998, has committed through to the finalisation of the accounts to the end of the 2014 financial year, a period in which there will be a lot of eyes on MRP and our performance,” Withers said.

“This provides the board with certainty and the ability to plan for the succession process and appointment of a new chief executive.”

Withers said there had already been considerable thought given to planning for Heffernan’s departure, with a recruitment process expected to begin late this year.

regrowth brassicas,” he said.

The rate of N to apply will depend on how much feed is needed to fully feed stock.

“However, as the rate of N applied increases, the efficiency of response (the kg DM grown per kg N applied) decreases and individual applications of fertiliser N should ideally not exceed 60kg N/ha in high potential growth rate conditions and 40kg N/ha under poorer conditions.”

In general, it is best to use lower rates on larger areas rather than the reverse and farmers should budget on an 8 to10:1 response to N in autumn at these rates (ie 8 to 10kg DM/kg N applied).

He says that if farmers are going to apply maintenance fertiliser this autumn then they could consider applying other major nutrients such as phosphate (P), sulphur (S), potassium (K), calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) together with N fertiliser.

However, the extended drought means there has been little nutrient removal from sheep and beef farms, although many are acutely short of autumn and winter feed. “The lower returns for sheep and beef (compared to dairy) mean that there may not be much money for fertiliser. Provided the fertiliser history has been good in the past and soil fertility status is reasonable, then foregoing the

Dr Ants Roberts

autumn maintenance fertiliser in favour of just N is an option which should be considered. It might be possible to ‘catch up’ with maintenance fertiliser in the spring.

“Remember that N fertiliser is a growth multiplier and so the faster the pasture is growing, both during and following N application, the better the response. Research has shown that in autumn, N increases tiller numbers. Over an extended period, tiller survival leads to more dry matter production even in the following spring.”

Dr Roberts says there are a number of steps farmers can take to prepare for future droughts.

“Farmers should have a soiltesting programme in place to monitor soil fertility. Good P and S levels improve the water use efficiency of plants and produce more and better quality feed,” he says.

He says high soil fertility extends the pasture growth supply by bringing it forward in spring, delaying the onset of drought effects and hastening recovery from drought.

“Alternatively, regrassing might be required and newer cultivars require high soil fertility, so an NPS fertiliser such as Cropmaster 20 is likely to be a good option.

“Consideration might be given to pastures containing species that grow rapidly and will grow longer into the winter, such as short rotation ryegrasses. Direct drilling could be a good option because it will conserve moisture and reduce potential wind erosion.

Remember, when looking at specialist drought-tolerant plants they might have higher fertiliser requirements.

“It is worth making decisions early because, when the drought finally eases, there will be a high demand for fertiliser and spreaders.

Taking the early application approach gets farmers ahead of the queue. Better that the fertiliser is spread and ready on the paddock rather than waiting for trucks or planes to become available. If farmers are unsure, they should seek more specific advice.”

the supply offer and the bonus issue are complementary,” Mr Wilson said.

“Farmers can choose to use the extra shares to back current or future production increases.

Alternatively, they might decide to hold them as an investment or sell them,” Mr Wilson said.

Key points about the supply offer: • Fonterra farmer shareholders will have the opportunity to sell to the fund the economic rights of up to 25 per cent of their wet shares (shares a farmer shareholder is required to hold to meet the share standard for a season).

• Farmer shareholders will continue to be able to offer any dry shares (shares held in excess of the share standard) at any time through the Fonterra shareholders’ market or the fund. However the supply offer is only open to wet shares.

• The price that Fonterra will pay for units it purchases under the supply offer will be an average of the prices of units each day (weighted by volume) over a 10- day period in May. • Farmer shareholders will receive vouchers for the economic rights of wet shares that are sold 400 through the supply offer. Subject to 390 limits, vouchers count in the same way as shares in applying the380 Fonterra share standard and for370 voting purposes.

ASW (NZ $/tonne)

Despite dry conditions continuing to wreak havoc with the pasture-based rural economy, thoughts are turning to how feed can be quickly generated once the drought eventually breaks.

Ravensdown’s chief scientific officer Dr Ants Roberts says that after the first significant rain, a quick option to increase pasture production is to apply nitrogen (N) fertiliser.

“However, it’s important to remember that the size of the response depends on sufficient initial rain and subsequent following rain to ensure pastures keep growing,” he says.

“Obviously, N fertiliser cannot replace water.”

Dr Roberts said ideally farmers should wait for some regrowth, but in drought conditions this would not be practical.

“Farmers should apply fertiliser as soon as possible after significant rain has fallen. If they are unsure whether there has been enough rain they should defer any N decisions until further rain has fallen.”

Paddocks with the capacity to recover fastest from drought conditions will give the greatest dry matter responses, for example, renewed pastures with modern cultivars and high fertility soils.

“However, once again research indicates that older pastures will still give costeffective responses to N fertiliser. Ideally, it is best to apply it to those paddocks with some cover (ie 1500 kg DM/ha or better) because ‘leaf grows leaf’. This may not always be possible and it is better to apply the N and accept a lower response than not to apply it at all.”

Dr Roberts said it was preferable to spell paddocks for 4-6 weeks before grazing as this gives the pasture time to express the maximum response possible, although set-stocked paddocks will also give N responses.

“Spelling, for at least 3-4 weeks, will reduce the animal health risk associated with high nitrate levels. Plants most likely to cause risk are some short rotation grasses and oats, and immature or

Fonterra Co-operative Group yesterday confirmed that a supply offer enabling farmer shareholders to sell the economic rights of some of their shares will open in May. Farmer shareholders will have the opportunity to offer to sell the economic rights of up to 25 per cent of their minimum required shares (‘wet shares’) to the Fonterra Shareholders’ Fund.

“The supply offer provides additional flexibility for farmer shareholders by enabling them to release some of the value of their shareholding – and improve cash flow,” chairman John Wilson said.

The supply offer will not increase the current size of the fund.

Fonterra will purchase the units that arise as a result of this supply offer and subsequently redeem them for Fonterra shares, which means that the offer will not affect the total number of units on issue.

“Fonterra raised around $475 million in equity when it seeded the fund to ensure it reached $525 million when it was launched in November last year. We always intended that this amount would be made available to farmer shareholders.

“The supply offer is a key way of achieving this.” $76 Farmer shareholders and unit holders $74 will also receive additional shares and units through a bonus issue$72 next month.

Competition was tight in this year’s Ashburton A&P Association on-farm heifer contest, with just a few points separating winners.

Last year’s winners David and Sally Mavor came up trumps again with the best line, though the winning margin was small.

They will go on to represent Ashburton in a Canterbury-wide competition against farmers from Methven, Waimakariri, Ellesmere, Oxford and Amuri.

Contest convener Victor Schikker said the Canterbury contest would be judged next week, with the winner going on to a South Island contest including the best from Otago and Southland.

Mr Schikker said the judges commented on how hard their job was, with little between the top finishers.

“They said it was very hard to pick a winner and the animals were overall good, especially after the season we have had.”

While other parts of the country might be in a drought, there was evidence feed was not in short supply in Mid Canterbury thanks to farmers’ investment in irrigation.

“It almost became a competition in itself to see who had the most feed.”

The Mavors are equity partners in a Lismore dairy farm, milking 850 cows. They have been praised for their excellent calf rearing, with attention to nurturing and nutrition.

Mr Schikker said entries were down in this year’s contest and organisers would look at a different format in 2014. He said it was a great way for farmers to benchmark their stock against other operators in the district, and pick up valuable tips.

Full results: Class 1, rising one-year heifers: David and Sally Mavor 1, Hayden Ferriman 2, Mark and Jenny Saunders (Waioto Farm) 3.

Class 2, rising two-year heifers: David and Sally Mavor 1, John and Rachel Jefferson 2, Waioto Farm 3.

Open mic night for lyricists at the art gallery

By Susan Sandys Mid Canterbury’s talented lyricists shared their love of the written word on Friday night.

Poems For A Penny at the Ashburton Art Gallery attracted an audience of 68, and 10 of those participated in an open mic session.

There were poems ranging from rhyming to prosaic, covering a myriad of topics, including Ashburton’s gappy streetscape since the earthquakes and caring for the terminally ill.

The open mic session preceded readings from celebrated poets Mark Raffills of Nelson, andSean Joyce, Marisa Cappetta and Jeni Curtis of Christchurch.

Gallery publicity officer Lucy Sharp said the turnout was fantastic, as was the talent it attracted.

“This event was a spectacular display of the creative energy in our local community,” Miss Sharp said.

“Our guest poets were impressed by the lyrical inventiveness of the open mic participants which represented a crosssection of age, backgrounds and experiences.”

An audience vote was held for themost loved open mic poem, and this was won by Guardian columnist Hanne Nielson, who wrote about the health issue of an articular cartilage.

Her poem is below.

Stuart Little

TV2, 3.40pm Michael J. Fox voices the talkin’ mouse who finds a lovin’ house in this energetic rodent romp. Stuart is adopted by the upper-class Little family (Geena Davis, Hugh Laurie, Jonathan Lipnicki) while searching for a bird friend, much to the disgust of the devious family cat, Snowball (voiced by Nathan Lane). While the digital effects are amazingly smooth, the film manages the not inconsiderable feat of avoiding sentimentality.

Redmond, who played for the Tasman Makos in last year’s ITM Cup, started at open side in the Knights 30- 27 win over Samoa A on Saturday.

Head Coach Scott Robertson has named his team to face Tonga A, making numerous changes to the side but Redmond kept his starting spot on the side of the scrum.

Crusaders Adrian Barone and Telusa Veainu also remain in the starting fifteen while Codie Taylor returns from playing for the Crusaders to take the number two jersey. Jordan Taufua’s call up to the Crusaders sees James Lentjes take the number eight jersey. Tyrone Elkington moves from second five-eighth to first five-eighth allowing Kolio Hifo to move to second five-eighth.

Stephen Mealings, Ronnie Campbell, Peter Larkin and Jake Beeman lead the field in the fifth and final summer run series at the Ashburton Domain on Tuesday night.

Run eases chocolate guilt

By Jonathan Leask More than 30 runners, joggers and walkers took advantage of the Ashburton Athletics Club’s final summer run this week, getting a jump on the competition before Saturday’s Easter Hop. The Easter Hop 10 mile (16km) race was first held 1995 and has annually had entries of over 100 runners and that is what the organisers are hoping for again this year.

The club decided to hold five summer runs in the Ashburton Domain this year in the lead up to the Easter Hop to help entice a few more to take up the chal-

lenge, and also just to give people the chance to go for a run.

The club had 30 runners turn out in the fifth and final run on Tuesday.

The 10 mile run is a race but the event also offers families the chance to burn off a few calories to ease the mind over the Easter chocolate gorging with a five mile (8km) fun run-walk that had over 100 entries last year. The club is hoping to at least match that figure this year.

“Entries have already started coming in but we normally get the bulk of people sign up on the day deepening on the weather, which looks like being a good day,” organiser Joe Ford said.

“We are hoping to get around 100

entries in each event.”

Christchurch’s Dave Ridley had the spring in his step last year speeding home in 54.22 minutes to win, almost three minutes faster than the previous year’s winning time set by two-time winner Jesse Gibbs, and organisers were hoping both men would line up on Saturday.

As well as the health benefits of running, and the ability to eat chocolate guilt free for the rest of the day, the fastest man and woman in the 10 mile will walk away in a new pair of running shoes. The 10 mile starts at 10am outside at the Hotel Ashburton, and the fun run-walk follows at 10.10am.

More spice for French, NZ test

By Cameron McMillan As if a rematch of the Rugby World Cup final wasn’t enough, more spice has been added to the June test between the All Blacks and France at Eden Park with Englishman Wayne Barnes named as the referee.

It will be the first time Barnes will take charge of the two teams since the infamous 2007 Rugby World quarterfinal when France shocked the All Blacks 20-18. The defeat saw a backlash against the referee

by New Zealand fans after a suspect pass

lead to the deciding try and France weren’t penalised in the final 20 minutes.

The two sides have played five times since the Cardiff quarterfinal, including two meetings at the 2011 World Cup, but Barnes wasn’t assigned to any of those matches.

Despite the fact the game was now six years ago Barnes has continued to make headlines in New Zealand with then All Black coach Sir Graham Henry and captain Richie McCaw making note of his quarterfinal performance in both of their released books last year.

Ashburton Bowling Club March 23 saw the official closing day for the Club. It began the Bird Cup which was won by Charlie Leech, Joan Dutton and Ralph Bassett with 2 wins 14 ends 20 points. There was a countback with 3 other teams also on 2 wins, skipped by Gloria Hawkins, Trevor Watson and Harold Kemp. The Flag was lowered by Life Member Janet Moore assisted by Colin Bird, and President Graham Taylor declared the season closed.

The ceremony was followed by a 2 course meal, cooked and supplied by the Social Committee and enjoyed by 78 paying members. Presentation of the year’s trophies then took place.

A detailed list of winners will follow at a later edition of the Guardian. Although the season had officially closed there was still one more event on the calendar. A visit from the Cashmere Club March 26. 24 members visited and shared morning tea at 10 am, followed by 2 games of 12 ends to play for the Friendship Trophy, originally donated by Fred Dunn in 1946 who, it was told by Graham Taylor, was a baker and used to make pastry medallions to present. Ashburton scored 98 ends and Cashmere 91 ends but in the true tradition of the trophy it was given to Cashmere to take back so we could then win it next year and bring it back home to Ashburton. A delightful afternoon tea was served and the visitors left by car to return home. Also sharing the day was Barry McLauchlan celebrating his 73rd birthday. Congratulations Barry, and happy birthday from us all.

Cards and Mahjong begin on Monday April 8 at 1.30. All are welcome, cost is still $2.

We wish you all good wintering and keep healthy, and to those lucky enough to holiday in Oz we hope you keep warm and happy and steer clear of bush fires and floods, and are back with us again next season. Don’t forget the Annual Meeting 26 May for the election of officers for season 2013-2014. See you all there. I will be bringing the roster for meals on wheels so be prepared to help in this community effort 8-12 July.

We will need 7 drivers and 7 runners for each of the 5 days.

Ashvegas Country Club Mayfield was the venue for last Sunday’s club day with a modified version of a stableford round being played. The main difference being that the first golfer to reach 36 stableford points was declared the winner and all golfers had to keep playing until they had scored their 36 points. Thankfully everyone finished their rounds in time for work Monday morning with Terry Kingsbury claiming the top prize after an excellent round of 80 saw him reach his 36 points at the 17th hole. Legs and Clarke tied for 2nd place after rounds of 93 and 85 respectively saw them complete their rounds at the 18th. The others all had to play a few extra holes with everyone all finished by the 21st. Evan Pearce won the putting prize requiring only 23 putts for his round and there were no 2’s. The clubs’ monthly premier day is scheduled for this Sunday and although the venue has yet to be confirmed those wishing to attend should meet at the Devon at 8.30am.

Coronation Smallbore Rifle Club Senior members of the club held a pre-season practice and while the evening was still a bit too warm for comfortable shooting some good scores were recorded. A large amount of work has been done on the club room over the summer and comments were all positive. The old, iconic, open fireplace has gone and a number of other improvements made. The Season is set to start in proper after Easter with the first round of the aggregate set down for Monday April 8th In order to further promote the sport the club have decided to trial a new, innovative, coaching and training system. The normal club night of Monday will now be open to TSNZ and Ashburton Association graded shooters only. Tyros will be given the chance to attend on Tuesday night 7.30pm to 9 pm when coaches will be available to provide one on one coaching. The club will provide all equipment and the attendees will only be required to pay for ammunition. To facilitate this the club will be holding “coaching for coaches” sessions to ensure that tyros will receive the best possible coaching. The decision also means that senior shooters will be able to focus on their own performance and raise the standard accordingly. The introduction of new up to the minute electronic coaching and training equipment is expected to raise the standard even more. The Tyro evenings will start on April 9th.

Henry said he felt physically sick after reviewing video of the match in his hotel room. In his opinion, Barnes had missed as many as 40 penalties.

While in The Open Side McCaw said Barnes couldn’t handle the pressure during the 2007 quarterfinal and shouldn’t have been assigned to the match.

“I don’t blame Barnes, but I do blame the people who appointed the most inexperienced referee on the roster to a RWC quarterfinal between the hosts and the favourites. I thought both teams deserved a referee with experience,” McCaw said.

• Test for Eden park Auckland Cricket will vigorously pursue a test at Eden Park against India next summer. Having come through the trial of the drawn third test against England after a six-year drought, Auckland Cricket are enthusiastic for more. The last test at Eden Park was against the West Indies in 2006 before New Zealand Cricket made a philosophical shift to smaller, boutique grounds for five-day cricket.

• Cricket boss angry Ross Taylor is heading for a “please explain” meeting with New Zealand Cricket boss David White. New Zealand’s premier batsman indicated in a radio interview that there is more information yet to be made public about his dumping as national captain by coach Mike Hesson in favour of Brendon McCullum during the Sri Lankan tour late last year. Those comments, and following New Zealand ending one wicket shy of a memorable victory over England this week, has rankled with NZC chief executive White.

SUPER 15

Cross-border battle ‘best tonic after Blues slump’

By Wynne Gray The Blues are challenging themselves into a passionate cross-border duel with the Chiefs.

Some of the Blues’ gusto waned in their last two defeats, a factor coach John Kirwan attributed to them worrying about the outcome instead of concentrating on their methods.

But meeting the Chiefs on Saturday was the best tonic for his side.

“It’s what we want to play, we want to measure ourselves against the best.

They are favourites and we just need to get excited and go down there and give it our best shot,” he said.

Super 15 statistics show the Chiefs rate better than their opponents in every area except tackling success.

Outside back Tim Nanai-Williams heads the Chiefs in the top 10 lists of tries scored, clean breaks, metres gained, and offloads while Charles Piutau is the Blues’ leading player in clean breaks, metres gained and defenders beaten.

Both sides will be named today with tighthead prop Angus Ta’avao likely to be the only Blues change for the injured Charlie Faumuina.

John Kirwan Returning former skipper Keven Mealamu is unlikely to be used from the bench this week with James Parsons in such strong form and Quentin MacDonald an able deputy.

While the Blues sank under the weight of their errors and the Sydney

humidity last round, the Chiefs returned from South Africa and outlasted the Highlanders 19-7.

The Chiefs have their first bye after Saturday’s game at Mt Maunganui while the Blues next face the Highlanders then Hurricanes.

The Chiefs have been consistent with four wins and one blemish against the Stormers while the Blues are working to get more balance.

“We need to work out how to deal with things when they are going awry,” Kirwan agreed. “They are steps in our rugby education.

“We know we will have to be at our best to get near the Chiefs and we know that we can get excited and play rugby. We are not worried about them. We know how good they are but we are just going out there to play.

“We need to play our game though and you haven’t seen that for a few weeks and that is what our guys want to show this week.”

Kirwan and his coaching group were frustrated at the way the Blues withered in their last match after they held a 14-point lead at the interval.

“We let ourselves down and we have got to show some more steel.”

Game time crucial for Drama at the crease I Leonard at Chiefs

By Patrick McKendry Chiefs halfback Brendon Leonard has timed his return from injury perfectly following Tawera Kerr-Barlow’s broken jaw, but now wants regular game time or he is likely to join a growing number of team-mates heading overseas.

Leonard will play against the Blues at Mt Maunganui on Saturday night - probably off the reserves bench behind Augustine Pulu, which is fine by him, but longer-term the former All Black has decisions to make.

Richard Kahui and Lelia Masaga have confirmed they are off to Japan, in the latter’s case Honda for two years, and co-captain Craig Clarke is moving to Ireland. Now the Chiefs are in danger of losing another experienced operator as Leonard, who played 13 tests for the All Blacks after making his debut in 2007, is off contract at the end of this year.

The 27-year-old would do well in the less physical Japanese competition after several injuries over the past few seasons - his latest was a broken cheekbone suffered in a head clash in the Chiefs’ first pre-season game, but said he was keen to stick around if wanted.

“My contract runs out at the end of this year and it’s a case of putting my best foot forward for the Chiefs,” he said. “Hopefully I can stay around. It is a little out of my con-

Brendon Leonard trol in some respects. It’s a matter of getting consistent game time and showing my value here at New Zealand rugby. I’d dearly love to play more seasons with the Chiefs.”

Leonard’s enforced break has been a frustrating one and mirrors last year, when he tore a hamstring in round one, also against the Highlanders, and was out for eight weeks.

“It’s been a long six weeks with plenty of running,” he said. “I’ve tried to look at it

magine trying to explain to the average American sports freako a game that has gone on for 15 days, with a couple of breaks for weather, a game that didn’t produce any result after all that time, but had the fans on their feet for the last hour(s), glued to their TV screens, unable to drag themselves away from the unfolding drama as it went right down to the wire.

Good luck with that one, and I wouldn’t bother, tell them about T20 instead.

But on Tuesday afternoon live from Eden Park we saw a contest so intense, so gripping that indeed even an American may have been moved to actually take some notice.

An England side, the second best team in world cricket no less, desperately fighting to stave off defeat by a team of upstarts from the colonies, a team rated eighth in and coming off an awful thumping from South Africa, containing few names with anything near star status, but a team that every now and then got all its ducks in a row and gave some of the top tier a serious fright.

It looked like sterling work from Ian Bell and Matt Prior had been enough to keep those upstarts from the gates in a day when skipper Brendon McCullum tried every trick he could to dislodge the visiting batsmen, who were in their precarious

positively and see it as an opportunity to get fitter. I’ve been Richard Kahui’s tackle bag while the boys were in South Africa, which was exciting,” he deadpanned.

“It’s obviously bad luck for Tawera ... but [my return] is good timing. We’ll have two good halfbacks stripping up again this weekend.

“I’ve been doing plenty of contact so I’m happy with where my mindset is in terms of that area.”

Leonard was impressed with the way his tired teammates withstood a torrid first half from the Highlanders in Hamilton last weekend to grind out a 19-7 victory, but is expecting improvements for the Blues, who are performing, like coach Sir John Kirwan promised, with the trajectory of a roller coaster.

“We missed a few opportunities in that second half to score a few points and put the game out of reach but they had a few chances themselves,” Leonard said of the Highlanders match. “There were some desperate tackles on the line to deny them. Obviously the effort and desire was there so we just have to make sure the skill level matches that.

“Chiefs v Blues games are always evenly contested and pretty physical. I remember for a few years with the Chiefs we languished at the bottom of the table and the Blues were riding high but we managed to go up there and beat them a few times and I guess that has taught us a lesson.”

Steve Devereux MY SHOUT

situation due to a below-par effort in their first innings, and a magnificent two-century performance from Canterbury’s Peter Fulton.

The Black Caps can only win games when at least five of them produce supreme efforts way above the norm, and one of those five in the last couple of days was Kane Williamson.

Williamson is a batsman, and some-time spin bowler to fill a gap here and there, but on Monday he set the game alight by sending the opposing skipper Alastair Cooke and then nightwatchman Steve Finn back to the pavilion, and then sent his own star into the ascendancy when he chipped out Stuart Broad and James Anderson with three overs to go, setting up the photo finish.

Just that one more . . .

Big moment: Matt Prior can’t control a short one from Wagner, it pops up, falls and hits the stumps (twice!) but somehow the bails don’t

fall - the close-in fieldsmen can only stare, stunned by that one. Prior was on 28; he went on to grind out 110, taking the game away from the hosts.

The five Black Caps who really turned up to give New Zealand its shot at glory: McCullum, Fulton, Williamson, Wagner and Southee/ Boult, take your pick of the last two.

On any other day, that’s enough to get you home.

Missing in action: Bruce Martin, the spinner who bowled a marathon 39 overs in the last innings, on the days when he’s supposed to really come into play he couldn’t produce just that one wicket that may have tipped the balance and given his country a memorable scalp.

Was the whole thing a good advertisement for test cricket?

Yes, it’s true, nobody won.

And at the finish the Black Caps were shattered men, desperately unhappy that they had the foot right on the throat, but couldn’t quite nail it.

But at the same time, every sports fan, and especially the game of cricket, did win.

And those players, most of whom will never play in such an incredible contest again, will look back and know, despite not getting the required result, they took part in one of the games that will go down in test folklore.

Breakers searching for playoffs intensity

Test yourself with the Guardian’s weekday quiz

What is this person famous for?

The Breakers might have some of the best athletes in the ANBL but coach Andrej Lemanis is more concerned about their mindsets heading into the first game of the playoffs against Sydney tonight.

Playoffs intensity has caught his side out in the past, and over the last two seasons they have lost the first game of the post-season even though they went in as minor premiers and favourites. It put them on the back foot, and forced them to go to Perth and then Townsville to force it to a decider.

Of course, the story on both occasion turned out well with the Breakers winning the title but they don’t want to put undue pressure on themselves this time around.

“There’s no secret we have dropped the first game the last two years,” Lemanis said. “That’s something we are aware of but it doesn’t affect the way we prepare.

We have to come out with the right mindset, play well and give ourselves a chance to win.”

They looked lacklustre in their 73-58 defeat in Perth last weekend, which brought to an end their 16-game winning streak, but they are a confident outfit who expect to win if they play well.

Sydney will fancy their chances against the Breakers in the threegame series. They beat them in one of their four games this season and lost two others narrowly, including one when Mika Vukona nailed a three-pointer on the buzzer.

It is the first time the Kings have reached the playoffs since re-entering the league in 2010 and the winners of the series will take on either Perth or Wollongong in

the grand final series.

The have some firepower in Ben Madgen, recently judged the league’s most improved player, as well as Darnell Lazare, Ian Crosswhite and Aaron Bruce, who landed two three-pointers down the stretch against Townsville that helped secure their playoffs spot.

“We feel very confident against New Zealand,” Madgen told the club’s website. “We’ve matched up well against them all year.

“We really don’t care what anyone else thinks because most people picked us to finish at the bottom at the start of the year anyway. We’ve already proved a lot of people wrong and I think this team plays its best when everybody writes us off.”

Most, of course, expect the Breakers to win and deliver a threepeat and that’s just another thing they need to contend with.

The Breakers’ big man Alex Pledger, who turned 26 yesterday, will be a crucial ingredient if the Breakers are to collect their third straight ANBL title. Pledger, who stands at 2.15m, has taken time to understand how to use his size and cope with more time on court.

“I honestly thought going into the season it would be exactly the same as last year except I would be playing 25 minutes instead of 15,” Pledger said.

“I quickly learned that was the wrong mindset. I have been getting a lot more attention and people are playing me a lot more physically and it took me a little while to adjust. I took the pressure off myself, relaxed a little bit and started to play my game and in the second half of the season I had some pretty good results. I definitely feel I belong in the league now.”

“Approach the game with no preset agendas and you’ll probably come away surprised at your overall efforts.”

Ashburton College under 15 halfback Connor O’Grady is left grasping at air as St Edmund’s College’s Josh Fernandez bursts into open space at College Field yesterday.

Aust team outclasses college ONLINE.co.nz

By Jonathan Leask The Ashburton College under 15s rugby team were completely outplayed and taught a lesson in the “next level” of rugby yesterday by the touring St Edmund’s College from Australia.

After only coming together on Monday, Ashburton College were comprehensively beaten by a well-drilled and well-practised opposition.

“They have been training together since November for this tour and we came together

on Friday and had three short trainings,” college under 15 coach Michael O’Callaghan said.

“If we had a bit more time together we could have competed better but they were a very good team and it was a good lesson

for our guys to see what that next level of rugby is really like.”

St Edmund’s got the scoring started from the opening kickoff and ran out to a 38-0 lead at halftime. The hosts didn’t lie down, putting up a more spirited

effort in the second half and were rewarded late in the piece with a consolation try for a 59-5 final score.

With the tourists having a 30-plus squad they then ran out their “B” team against the College under 15 B team.

Another one-sided affair played out, with the tourists getting up 37-5.

It was a harsh lesson to start the season but one O’Callaghan hoped would serve them well as they build towards the South Island under 15 tournament later this year.
