Two men airlifted out of Rakaia By Sam Morton Two Rakaia men had to be airlifted from their car roof after getting caught out in the Rakaia River. It is understood the men were attempting to cross the river mouth in a 4WD vehicle, but
came unstuck when the wheels stopped spinning and the truck ground to a halt, late on Friday night. The men clambered out of the vehicle and managed to get to the roof, before raising the alarm and waiting for assistance. The Rakaia Volunteer Fire Brigade, Rakaia Search and
Rescue, Ashburton Police and the Westpac Rescue Helicopter spotted the submerged vehicle – and saw the two men standing on the roof – stuck in the middle of the river. Station officer Tyrone Burrowes, of Rakaia, told the Guardian firefighters couldn’t access the river track and remained relatively
helpless in such a situation. Firefighters helped SAR members find the two men, before the Westpac Rescue Helicopter was called into action. “The guys obviously got caught out, it was a tough time of night to be out, so it could have happened to anyone really. I guess, it’s a timely reminder to be cau-
tious when crossing rivers at any time,” Mr Burrowes said. “We took the guys back to the station, the police had a chat to them and we gave them a hot drink. It was just one of those things.” Senior Sergeant Grant Russell, of Ashburton, said police would not be taking the matter any fur-
ther and said it was unlikely the two men would be fined by the rescue helicopter service. “It’s not an offence getting stuck in the river, people cross rivers all the time. “I would have liked to think these men would have taken more responsibility for themselves, but as far as the police are
concerned, we won’t be taking it any further,” Mr Russell said. The two men were uninjured and aside from a slight shiver, the late night drama came to an end. The vehicle was retrieved the following day as it was too dark for emergency services to operate at the time.
Residents to be moved in Coldstream development By Sam Morton Five Coldstream Rest Home and Hospital residents are being moved out of the district temporarily to make way for a major development that will increase hospital beds at the home. Owner Vicki Green announced yesterday that eight hospital beds will be added, taking the total to 36, in a move Mrs Green believes will address long waiting lists in the district. But it may be a case of longterm gain means short-term pain for some families, as the five residents are being moved to the Geraldine Rest Home while building work gets under way. The development is restricted to just one wing. “All too frequently a resident requiring hospital care has had to be prepared to wait until a bed becomes available locally or to move to either Christchurch or Timaru,” she said. “The Canterbury District Health Board is fully supportive of our plans and the positive impact that this will have for hospital residents and their families, locally.”
While five residents in the wing will have to leave temporarily, four other residents will be relocated within the facility, resulting in steady change for all affected residents. Mrs Green said it was never pleasant telling residents they have to leave, but she remained positive about the future and pointed out at least two residents would not go to Geraldine. “It’s going to be very positive for Ashburton, there is always a need for more hospital beds and the residents and families were certainly very understanding of our reasons for expanding. “Following our meeting, some residents have opted to shift to Christchurch instead of Geraldine, so we will work with them and help make that as easy as possible for them,” Mrs Green said. Mrs Green added the expansion did not mean job cuts and pointed out her clinical staff assessed the residents on their needs to select the five residents required to leave the wing. The expansion is being carried out by a local building company and is expected to be completed by mid September.

ERO gives top marks to Lauriston School By Myles Hume Lauriston School has added another link to its impressive chain of reports from education watchdogs. The Education Review Office (ERO) recently published its latest report on the rural Mid Canterbury school, highlighting its string of success in a number of areas and acknowledging its “history of positive ERO reports”. Lauriston School principal Dianne Prendergast said she
was pleased with the assessors’ findings. “Even though we may have a history of good reports, ERO’s priorities and the ministry’s focus areas are always changing, we’ve been able to change and develop,” she said. The report pointed to a number of strengths including the strong relationships between pupils and teachers, and the school’s ability to keep parents “well informed” with their child’s progress. The report also found the
pupils played a big part in the direction of their learning, backed by the prominent use of ICT with tablets and computers. “A feature of this decision making is the key role students have in helping teachers to plan the content and direction of learning programmes,” the report said. Mrs Prendergast said the process was relatively stress-free for the school and her staff, put down to their confidence in their own ability and the open book approach by ERO assessors. “We know we are doing well,
but it’s good to have someone independent come in and give us constructive feedback.” Amid the glowing review, it also highlighted areas where the school could develop. Finding ways to promote bicultural learning and the success of Maori pupils was one of the main points, while the assessors also asked the school to identify priorities in its three-year longterm plan. It also asked the school to monitor all aspects of its curriculum, particularly in science
and other subjects that do not come under the national standards umbrella. Mrs Prendergast said the school was already putting steps in place to address areas that needed more work. “We have staff enrolled in a ministry contracted Te Reo programme, so we are trying things as we speak, and we are also doing some work in consulting with families and looking to do that more effectively.” ERO said it planned to visit the school in 2015.
Teen’s crime spree fuelled by synthetic cannabis

An Ashburton teenager has admitted smoking K2 (synthetic cannabis) and cannabis, prompting a crime spree which involved breaking in to a number of homes and businesses. Tyrone Laffey, who turned 18 last week, appeared before Judge Noel Walsh in the Ashburton District Court yesterday, to answer to six counts of burglary and theft, and intentional damage. Over the course of a week in February Laffey entered a number

of homes, many in the Pages Road area, with the intent of stealing to fund his drug habit and buy food. On several occasions he entered homes where residents were sleeping and was disturbed twice in the act. He also stole cash and alcohol from the MSA, a number of items from a local motel, and lollies and soft drink from a supermarket, after climbing a security fence. When apprehended Laffey told police he needed money for food, after he was kicked out of home.

Yesterday Judge Walsh questioned Laffey about his drug use. Laffey said he had been using cannabis since he was 13, and “got into K2” about the middle of last year. At the time of the offending he had been using a bag of K2 daily. “Your family wants you to sort it out – they are worried about you,” Judge Walsh said. He pointed to Laffey’s three previous convictions, relating to a driving offence, willful damage and assault.
“At just 18 your offending has escalated to breaking into dwellings committing burglaries,” he said. “Some of the occupants very lucky they didn’t bump into you, potentially it could have been much more serious.” Judge Walsh said the pre-sentence report gave him some idea of what was driving Laffey’s offending. “Some of the adults who were responsible for raising you let you down, and sadly you now have a
serious problem with alcohol and drugs.” He sentenced Laffey to three months community detention, on a strict curfew, and nine months intensive supervision with orders to undertake appropriate psychological counselling to address historic issues, and alcohol and drug assessment, complete counselling and treatment as directed. He must also complete 180 hours of community work, and make good $1228 worth of reparation.

Fonterra scales back share offer By Jamie Gray Farmers have flocked to take up the latest supply offer under the Fonterra Trading Among Farmers scheme, forcing the co-operative to scale back the offer. Fonterra said farmer shareholders had offered to sell 75.22 million economic rights of “wet� shares in the supply offer, amounting to a total value of $595.7 million. In the end, scaling meant Fonterra undertook to buy 60 million shares, worth about $476m. Chairman John Wilson said many farmers had taken the opportunity to release some of the value of their
Drinking too much whisky has proved costly for an Ashburton teenager. Marvin Simon Brown, 19, a seed dresser, of Ashburton, appeared in the Ashburton District Court to answer charges of assaulting a police officer, two of resisting a police officer, fighting in public and escaping from custody after a night out in town. Police withdrew a charge of disorderly behaviour. The court was told that about 3am on January 23, Brown was drunk and yelling abuse and gang-related slogans at passersby on Havelock Street. Police warned him to leave and he was led aware by his associates. However, when police returned shortly afterward Brown was back, abusing another man. He was arrested but broke free and escaped. Police were then called to an incident nearby where they discovered a number of men fighting on the street; Brown was involved in the fracas. While being arrested for the second time Brown punched constable Guy Atkinson in ‘The catalyst the mouth. was drinking His counsel Marilyn Gilchrist whiskey’ said Brown was unaccustomed to - Judge Noel Walsh drinking whisky, and was not usually aggressive, nor did he have any animosity toward the police. She said he was ashamed as he was neither a gang member nor an associate, and in the cold light of day was baffled by his behaviour. Judge Noel Walsh agreed, saying if Brown’s previous criminal history was an indicator, “it would appear these acts of violence were completely out of character�. “The catalyst was drinking whisky,� he said. While he considered a community work sentence, Judge Walsh decided to distance Brown from associating with other convicted criminals. Instead handed down a sentence of six months supervision – to include alcohol assessment and counselling, fined Brown $800, ordered him to pay court costs, and to pay the constable $200 for emotional harm. He was convicted and discharged on the two remaining charges.

Fonterra shares, which means that the offer will not affect the total number of units on issue. Wet shares are shares that Fonterra’s farmers must buy to gain the right to supply, or to increase their supply, to the cooperative. On the sharemarket, units in the Fonterra Shareholders Fund dropped by 24 cents (three per cent) yesterday to $7.60, compared with last Tuesday’s record high of $8.09. One fund manager said the price was soft because some brokers had reduced their earnings forecasts. He noted that broader sharemarket market conditions were also weak-
er. Fonterra is expected to release its forecasts for the upcoming season tomorrow. The co-operative’s forecast for the current season was $6.12 for a fully shared-up farmer, based on a higher farmgate milk price of $5.80 per kgMS and a dividend of 32 cents per share. The Bank of New Zealand, in a market commentary, said the upcoming season’s payout forecast should be well above the current estimate of $6.25 to $6.30 per kg of milk solids for the season just ending. “We have long had $6.60 on the board as an initial pick for the new season,� BNZ said. “But the upside
risks have grown considerably with world prices holding up a little better than expected and particularly with the decent dip in the NZ dollar over recent weeks,� it said. BNZ economists said the payout could reach $7. “A total payout forecast of $7.00, along with our assumed 6 per cent lift in next season’s milk production is indicative of total dairy industry revenue being almost $2 billion higher than that of the previous season,� the bank said. Such an outcome would be a cash injection to the economy in the order of 1 per cent of GDP over the coming 18 months. - APNZ

The Ritchies Bus and Coach service that transports disabled pupils to Ashburton College can now drop the pupils off 15 metres from their learning unit, ending months of concern and disruption.
Relief that bus saga finally sorted By Myles Hume You could sense the relief in Grant Congdon’s voice yesterday. The deputy principal of Ashburton College has ended a three-month-long saga involving a new bus service that transports disabled pupils to school. The journey has been a long one for all involved, as high emotions and heavy-handed criticism surrounded the sensitive issue. But using Mr Congdon’s own words yesterday “it has been put to bed�, as the bus backed into the college’s Middle Road
entrance last week, eliminating the last of four major problems with the Ritchies Bus and Coach service. “It has been a long process but we have got a good end result and the students are now getting quality transport to and from school,� Mr Congdon said. Concerns were raised at the beginning of the first term when Ritchies took over a Ministry of Education contract from Ashburton Taxis to transport several disabled pupils to school. The parents of the disabled Ashburton College pupils were unhappy with the wheelchair restraints, pick up and drop off times, the lengthy period of
Electronic bail for 17-year-old facing 41 charges A 17-year-old facing 41 charges has been remanded on electronically monitored bail. Vincent James Kuru-Nathan, of Netherby, has been remanded in custody for five weeks before his appearance in the Ashburton District Court yesterday. His lawyer Marilyn Gilchrist asked Judge Noel Walsh to consider her client’s application for electronic bail, despite police opposition. Kuru-Nathan faces a raft of charges relating to unlawfully taking motor vehicles, theft and arson – many committed while on bail. Ms Gilchrist said her client had been beaten up in prison, and was at a vulnerable age. His father supported him returning home, and with his new understanding of the prison system he was determined not to breach bail conditions again. She said it was likely KuruNathan would plead guilty to a number of the charges, but as they were inter-related, she needed time with her client to comb through them carefully. However, police were not optimistic, as Kuru-Nathan had breached youth court bail arrangements a
time some children were sitting on the bus and the 300 to 400 metre drop off point at the Creek Road bus bay. Ritchies co-operated with the college and parents, making several alterations, but continued dropping the pupils off hundreds of metres from their learning unit. But that issue has now been solved with a new entrance on Middle Road. “The bus now drops them about 15 metres from the unit ... we have two staff who are behind the bus and guide it down the driveway so it can back right up to the unit, and it now has a ramp that goes on to the kerb
which is almost horizontal. “We would have preferred it didn’t happen in the first place, but we got through the process, we would have liked it to have been faster but we needed to make sure it was all sorted in the end,� Mr Congdon said. As far as he knew, Mr Congdon said most parents appeared to be satisfied and the service would remain as it is now. Mark Somerville, a parent who has voiced his concerns over the new service, has joined a Government reference group after the saga, working to strengthen disability transport for school pupils in the future to avoid similar problems.

‘A lot of fish hooks’ to merging boards By Myles Hume Education bosses would have to tread carefully if they merge school boards struggling to find candidates, Mid Canterbury educators say. And the district’s smaller schools believe they won’t need to merge boards, even though some are not holding elections this year. Plans emerged yesterday that Education Minister Hekia Parata might merge small neighbouring school boards who struggled to put a new Board of Trustees
(BOT) in office after this year’s election. Schools usually have five parent representatives on BOTs, and if there were more than five nominees they hold an election, with this year’s voting period set to end on Thursday. Most Mid Canterbury schools said parents would be voting for the best parent representatives, but there were some local schools who would not be holding an election because they had minimal nominees. Long-serving BOT member Charlie Kelland, who recently gave up his chairman’s role at
Allenton School, said there were examples of successful amalgamations. But he warned schools would have to strike the right balance. “Not everyone is cut out to be a school trustee, but if you have a school with 20 kids with 10 sets of siblings, then you only have 10 sets of parents and not everyone wants to do it. “It’s about getting that balance, with a smaller school you need to ensure the needs are not being overlooked.” Chertsey School was not holding an election, while Fairton School had three nominations
and would be looking to co-opt members on to the board. Both of the schools’ principals said they had strong support from the community and said it would be unnecessary to amalgamate with neighbouring schools. Lauriston School combined its board with Mount Hutt College several years ago. Lauriston School principal Dianne Prendergast said the system worked well, allowing the board to oversee pupils from new entrant level to Year 13 while maintaining a strong relationship between the schools.
Looking over both schools meant the board was time-bound to make decisions so it kept to the core role of governance, and leaving management up to the principal, Mrs Prendergast said. However, she said it did come with challenges. “It’s a lot more challenging having two or more schools because each school has its own business to get through so with some issues you are making twice the work. “One of the other challenges is keeping the balance between the two schools, and especially because they (Mount Hutt
College) are larger and have different issues to us.” She said any decisions to merge boards must be community driven “and can’t just be imposed” on schools. Mid Canterbury Principals’ Association president Neil Simons said merging boards would “dilute the community component” of schools. “People would have to be prepared to put aside any bias and work together for the betterment of schools,” Mr Simons said. “You would have to be very careful with how you did it, there’s a lot of fish hooks.”

From left: Nigel McIntyre from the Racing Integrity Unit, Ashburton Trotting Club track supervisor Geoff Gibbons and Harness Racing New Zealand track and venue inspector John Denton might be walking the Ashburton Trotting Club track at a snail’s pace yesterday, but this weekend that same track is likely to see records set as New Zealand’s top age-group horses race for Harness Jewels trophies and group one titles.
Checking out the track is in peak ‘fitness’ By Sue Newman The work Geoff Gibbons does today could well determine how many records are broken this weekend at the Harness Jewels racing carnival. As the Ashburton Trotting Club’s track superintendent it’s his job to make sure the race track is in perfect order and he knows that weather willing, if the track is perfect, then the country’s top age-group trotters and pacers will be flying. He’s lucky, he says, that he’s inherited a track that was laid on a perfect foundation and one that had been faithfully main-
tained for many years by his predecessor Rod Urquhart. “Our track is always in good condition so realistically, I don’t have to do much more than I would for any meeting,” he said. Ashburton’s track has earned itself a reputation as the fastest one-mile track in New Zealand and that ensures records are likely to topple over during the two- day meeting, Mr Gibbons said. “It’s the size of our track that gives it its speed with four even, big curves and it’s well cambered too. “If we get a day like we did last Saturday there’ll be some fast times, but realistically the horses
are here to win stake money; the times are a bonus.” An indication of just how fast Ashburton’s track could be running this weekend came on Saturday during the pre-Jewels work-outs, when five-year-old Terror to Love ran the mile in 1.52.5 and barely moved out of a jog. Yesterday the track was given the green light after it was inspected by co-chief stipe Nigel McIntyre from the Racing Integrity Unit and Harness Racing New Zealand track and venue inspector John Denton. Mr Denton said the track was among the best in New Zealand, with its size making it ideal for
mile racing. “It’s a great facility with a brilliant starting point for mile racing. The horses get the feel of it and a chance to sort themselves out early on,” he said. Over the coming days, it will be business as usual for Mr Gibbons and on the two racedays his work will involve little more than a run around with the harrows between each race to ensure the track’s surface is unmarked. While he’s keeping his fingers crossed for a fine weather over the two day’s racing, Mr Gibbons said Ashburton’s track was free draining and its camber allowed water to drain away.
Alpine Fault rupture response put to test By Sue Newman Tomorrow the Alpine Fault will rupture and emergency services personnel across the South Island will be on high alert. The ‘rupture’ will be an exercise designed to test the readiness of responders to the disaster scenario that would follow such an event. Ashburton’s Civil Defence coordinator Don Geddes will be in charge of the district’s response in an exercise, known as Te Ripahapa and while details are under wraps, what unfolds will be as close to reality as it’s possible to come, Mr Geddes said. A rupture would be a one-in500-year event that would produce a devastating earthquake of magnitude 8 or greater. It would be felt across the South Island, with the greatest impact likely to be on the West Coast. The next rupture is anticipated
to be within 50 years and the fatality and injury toll would be counted in thousands. In Ashburton, the exercise will be simulated on the computer rather than in the field, but it would in every way be a trial run for the real thing, Mr Geddes said. Based on research on the possible impacts of an Alpine Fault rupture, it was unlikely there would be total devastation in Ashburton, but damage would be more widespread in areas such as Methven and Mt Somers, he said. A range of welfare, health and emergency service personnel will be involved in the day-long exercise which will start with an early morning quake. The exercise will be South Island wide and as well as being an opportunity to test the people and systems that would be involved in emergency response it will also be an opportunity to apply lessons learned during the Canterbury earthquakes, Mr Geddes said.
A man accused driving at more than twice the legal breath alcohol limit crashed into several vehicles and a stretch of road works in Rakaia on Sunday. The man, in his early 20s, walked away uninjured, but police arrested him soon after about 10.30pm, near the Rakaia Bridge. Senior Sergeant Grant Russell, of Ashburton, said the man recorded an alcohol reading in the high 800s. Less than half an hour later, police stopped another drinkdriver near Hinds following a series of complaints of bad driving on State Highway 1. The man, who was listed as a Timaru resident, blew a breath alcohol reading in the high 900s – and Mr Russell praised the public for alerting police of the dangerous behaviour. “Police caught up with him in Hinds and we understand he was on his way to Christchurch,” he said. “That was a good stop really ... a great result getting him off the road.” The two men will appear in the Ashburton District Court next month.
Dog bites owner A woman is recovering in hospital after her dog accidentally bit her while playing, causing a gash above her eye. The 22-year-old dog owner was injured around midday yesterday at her St Arnaud home, in the Nelson Lakes area. She was assessed and the laceration treated at the scene by an intensive care paramedic before she was flown to Nelson Hospital by the Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter. Tasman District Council dog control was also dispatched to the scene but a spokesman said it was nothing more than “an unfortunate - APNZ accident”.

OPINION
www.guardianONLINE.co.nz
Our dairy farmers continue to lead the way M
id Canterbury farmers are again on the top of the heap. The Ashburton District may be small, but like our local sporting stars, our dairy farmers continue to be recognised as the best in the business. Congratulations to Hinds farm manager Richard Pearse who continued Mid Canterbury’s golden run by winning the title of New Zealand Farm Manager of the Year in Wellington on Friday
OUR VIEW night. Naturally he could not have done this without his partner Susan Geddes who will also bask in the glory of the award. Mr Pearse follows in the footstep of Rakaia’s Mick O’Connor who won the same title last year when Mid Canterbury claimed the clean sweep at the National Dairy Industry Awards. Enda and Sarah Hawe were
named as Sharemilker of the Year while Nathan Christian took out the title of Trainee of the Year. Even though Mid Canterbury farmers could not repeat this amazing effort, the recognition of Mr Pearse shows that the district’s dairy industry continues to show the way. The growth in the dairy industry has been the backbone of the economic boom the
Coen Lammers editor
Ashburton District has been enjoying and this is not just due to the high milk prices. Farmers know that milk prices are beyond their control, but they do have power over
what happens on their farm. Mid Canterbury farmers are constantly looking for more efficient ways to capitalise on their stock, their land, the available water and other resources. New Zealand farmers are recognised as some of the best in the world, with some of the most advanced technology and practices available. To be able to stand out even among this elite group should be a source of pride for everyone in the local industry

Shane Allen Shanahan, 29, a farmer of Allenton, noticed a man had a “full wallet” after winning more than $900 on the pokies in a local bar on April 20. The complainant left the bar with $660 and walked, with another man, toward West Street. The court was told Shanahan followed the two men across East Street before accosting the complainant. He demanded the wallet and when the complainant failed to comply, Shanahan kicked him in the stomach and snatched the wallet. He then removed the money, before handing the wallet and $20 back to its owner. When accosted by police shortly afterwards he had $320 of the original amount in his possession. Shanahan said he had

given the rest to the other man who had been walking with the complainant. He pleaded guilty to the robbery charge, but Judge Noel Walsh remanded him without conviction, and called for sentencing reports including appendices. Judge Walsh referred to Shanahan’s two previous convictions, acknowledging neither involved violence, but said this affair was serious, calling it a premeditated and cowardly attack. “You preyed on the victim, you knew he was in possession of that money,” he said. He remanded Shanahan without conviction until July 8, requesting full probation reports but warned it was no indication of the sentencing outcome.

with other top performers is simply a gauge to see how well your farm is doing. A contender may not win the regional finals or feature at the national awards, but taking part will always be a learning experience that can used back at the farm. Sharing and hearing ideas can only be positive for the individual farmers, and once this knowledge is spread throughout the community, an entire district can reap the benefits.

and those involved with the successful individuals. Most Kiwis, and especially those of farming stock, are reluctant to stand out or seek recognition, so to even enter these awards must be a big step for many farmers. It is hard to tell how many other fantastic farmers would be able to claim top prizes but simply aren’t interested. Entering these awards though is not about patting your own back or looking for praise. Putting your hat in the ring
The possibility of two opencast coal mines simultaneously digging into the West Coast’s Denniston Plateau, disrupting nationally important flora and fauna, was not considered when a court gave Bathurst the goahead, conservationists said yesterday. The Royal Forest & Bird Society took its fight to the High Court at Christchurch yesterday to appeal against interim resource consent given to Bathurst Resources Limited for a 188ha open-cast mine on the plateau above Westport. Last week, Conservation Minister Nick Smith approved access rights to the Australian company for the project, saying it would provide a $1 billion boost to the economy and create 225 jobs. Despite the Government’s move, Forest & Bird are continuing to fight. The group, whose appeal was jointly lodged with the West Coast Environmental Network, says
‘Open-cast mining is a very complex, resource intensive and intrusive process’ - defence counsel Jo Appleyard
Bathurst’s Escarpment Mine Project would bring significant adverse affects on the delicate and precious ecosystem. Denniston Plateau is home to significant indigenous flora and fauna, it said, including at-risk plants, lizards, geckos, birds and snails. Yesterday morning, lawyers for the environment watchdog claimed the Environment Court’s decision was flawed and should be quashed. Peter Anderson, counsel for Forest & Bird, said the effects of an unimplemented coal mining licence by state-owned Solid Energy for another mine, the Sullivan Mine, also on the Denniston Plateau, should have been taken into account. The Environment Court judges ruled that the possible open-cast Sullivan Mine did not form part
of the existing environment since the licence has not been used. The coal mining licence which expires in 2027 is, however, “akin to a permitted activity and as such is capable of forming part of the existing environment,” Forest & Bird argued. West Coast Environmental Network’s counsel Quentin Davies said the cumulative effect of both mines operating at the same time were not properly considered. “One cannot manage, protect or safeguard something if cumulative threats to it are not assessed,” he said. Buller Coal Limited, owned by Bathurst Resources Ltd, has rejected the “narrow” argument. West Coast Regional Council and Buller District Council, which granted mine consents last year, also opposed the appeal.
They say further licences and material resource consents would have to be granted before the Sullivan Mine could go ahead with mining. Buller Coal said nothing in Forest & Bird’s appeal or submissions detracted from the “straightforward reasoning and conclusion” of the Environment Court ruling made earlier this year. Defence counsel Jo Appleyard said that the inherent nature of the Denniston Plateau creates significant consenting issues for anyone wanting to undertake mining activities on it. “Open-cast mining is a very complex, resource intensive and intrusive process,” she said. Buller Coal had to apply for 24 separate, wide-ranging resource consents from both councils over its Escarpment project, she said. And if Solid Energy wanted to push ahead with Sullivan Mine, it would have to go through the same processes. The High Court hearing, before Justice John Fogarty, is set down for three days. - APNZ
Auckland is in for its coldest day of the year today as a wintry blast moves up the country, bringing snow to many parts of the South Island and sleet in Wellington. Snow is also expected on the Desert Road and Rimutaka Hill Road as the short, cold snap sets in. MetService said the cold front was “knocking on the door” in Auckland last night, and would bring cold, showery conditions and strong southwesterly winds today. Places exposed to southwesterly winds, such as Manukau Heads, could see gales of up to 110km/h, said forecaster Leigh Matheson. The temperature would reach just 13°C today - the city’s coldest day of the year so far. Ms Matheson said with the strong southwesterlies it would feel more like 10°C. “Auckland is going to really notice the strong winds and the showers. It’s going to seem like a very blustery day.” Conditions would improve tomorrow, with the southwesterlies easing off, showers clearing and temperatures rising. The polar blast would bring widespread snowfalls in the South Island, with temperatures expected to drop to 0°C in Christchurch last night.
“Everywhere from the central high country southwards is going to get very cold, and we’re expecting snow to fairly low levels,” Ms Matheson said. Snow was falling last night in inland Southland, with further falls expected in Otago, inland high country and Fiordland. Canterbury would be largely sheltered, with only small snow flurries about the hills and Banks Peninsula. The temperature was expected to fall to 0°C last night. Sleety showers could strike Christchurch this afternoon, limiting the day’s high to 7°C. Invercargill was facing a brisk 24 hours, with an overnight low of 1°C and a daytime high of just 4°C. Dunedin was expecting 5°C today. Wellington would also “cop it a bit” with cold southerlies, sleet and 8°C today, Ms Matheson said. A road snow warning was in place for the Desert Road, with 1cm to 2cm expected to accumulate last night and more falls today. Warnings were also in place for the Lewis Pass, Arthur’s Pass, Lindis Pass and Milford Road, as well as the Rimutaka Hill Road, where up to 15cm was likely to accumulate at the summit today. - APNZ
‘It’s not just food’ - Key The Government’s plan to ensure children don’t go hungry at school will go beyond providing them with food, Prime Minister John Key says. Details of a new food-in-schools programme will be revealed during an announcement on vulnerable children today, but Mr Key yesterday indicated there would also be “one or two” other parts to the plan. “I wouldn’t over-hype it, but it’s not just food.” Mr Key hinted it could include measures to stop children going to school “hungry and cold”. “We invest millions in making our
education system world-class and every child deserves a world-class education, but the reality is that they’re not going to make the most of that if they come to school hungry and cold – and that’s not the child’s fault.” Asked if the programme would address the issue of children going to school cold, Mr Key said to “wait and see”. “The Government overall is looking to respond to the issue in a number of areas of vulnerable children that are in forms of deprivation ... the food-in-schools programme is part of that.” - APNZ
Sinkhole repair costly for ratepayers By Debbie Porteous Repairing the hole under the sea wall that caused large sinkholes to appear in the Esplanade at St Clair in Dunedin is set to hit ratepayers in the pocket. But just how hard is yet to be worked out. Contractors worked into last night, around the 10.30pm low tide to try to plug a gap under the St Clair sea wall. The gap appeared when spring tides in the past few days carried away more than 1m of sand from the beach in 24 hours. This left the bottom of sea wall in front of South Coast Board Riders
Association club rooms exposed. Water then sucked sand and soil fill from behind an original wall about a metre behind the existing sea wall, creating sinkholes in the walkway either side of the St Clair Surf Life Saving Club’s rescue boat launch ramp. The holes continued to grow in size yesterday, spreading north. Dunedin City Council network maintenance engineer Peter Standring said a preliminary examination revealed no other obvious places where water was getting under the wall. Its integrity appeared to be intact. Engineers, however, would be back for a more extensive assess-
ment of the wall and its anchors, which reach 6m back into earth. While a long-term solution would need to be considered, the immediate focus was on blocking the gap to stop more of the paved area caving in. Council contractors were to begin inserting sheet piling under the ramp at low-tide last night, completing the job at low tide this morning. The main area affected was in front of the Board Riders club rooms around the ramp. A ground penetrating radar run over the rest of the Esplanade yesterday morning found no evidence of “any great voids” anywhere else,
but the area would remain cordoned off until after further tests. The precast concrete-slab sea wall was built in front of the existing seawall in 2004. The fill behind the old wall, built in 1913, and the existing anchors were not touched at the time, Mr Standring said. The new sea wall has been beset with problems. Rusted balustrades had to be replaced at a cost to the council of $346,000, and stairs and ramps were damaged in heavy seas. They are to be repaired at an expected cost to the council of about $125,000, after a year’s negotiations with the wall’s design-
ers, and subsequent owners of that company, which will pay the other half of the costs. Council transportation operations manager Graeme Hamilton said the repairs would sit with the council this time because the problem was not with the wall itself. “At this point I can’t see any other source of money, other than council money. And, no, it won’t be cheap.” Costs would be determined after the extent of the problem, which could be localised, was known. But, whatever the outcome of that work, costs were likely to be significant.
He urged people to “bear with” the council. The Esplanade was a big investment the council wanted to protect. There would always be issues and repairs required in that sort of environment, Mr Hamilton said. “If you are going to poke things in to the eye of the ocean, beware of what you are doing, because you get a lifetime’s work.” Parks and recreation services manager Mick Reece, who in charge of protecting the city’s reserves, echoed Mr Hamilton’s comments. “This is not some lovely little Tauranga Beach. It is a pretty tough piece of coastline.” - APNZ

The following people appeared before Judge Noel Walsh in the Ashburton District Court yesterday. Michael Robert Young, 27, of Ashburton was convicted of driving with an excess breath alcohol level of 743 micrograms per litre of breath (EBA 743mg/l), when the legal limit is 400mg/l. It was Young’s fourth conviction for drink driving, the last being eight years ago. With this in mind, Judge Walsh fined him $650, plus court costs, disqualified him from driving for nine months, and ordered him to undertake six months supervision, to include alcohol assessments and to undergo counselling as directed by probation services. * * * Emmanual Antonnieo Haenga, 23, a dairy farmer of Carew pleaded guilty to charges of unlawfully taking a motor vehicle, dangerous driving, and aggravated drink driving with an excess blood alcohol level of 161 milligrams (161mg) per 100 millilitres when the legal limit is 80mg. The court was told Haenga failed to stop on the request of a road worker on the Rakaia Bridge on April 28. Instead he drove onto the bridge at speed, and was forced to skid to a halt because of road works, after which the vehicle would not start. Police were called and found Haenga was driving a vehicle reported stolen from Christchurch a month earlier. Haenga’s defence was that he had not stolen the vehicle but found the vehicle in a riverbed. On all matters he was convicted and fined $2600, to be deducted from his income at $70 per week, disqualified from driving for 12 months and ordered to pay court costs. * * * Karen Jean Welch, 46, a production technician of Hinds was convicted and sentenced on her second drink driving charge in eight months

Businesses which drag their heels or fail to comply with a new anti-money laundering and terrorism financing law should expect to face firm action, say regulators. After more than two-years in the pipeline, the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism Act 2009 will come into effect on June 30. Under the law, financial institutions and casinos must identify where they are at risk of being used to launder money or fund terrorist activities, have a plan in place to mitigate those risks and train staff to overcome them.

Internal Affairs and Financial Markets Authority have each been given responsibility for supervising and enforcing the law among three different groups. The DIA – which is covering casinos, non-deposit-taking lenders and money changers – said it would take firm action against entities which were making “insufficient progress” towards achieving compliance or which breached the act. Gareth Bostock, manager of Internal Affairs’ Financial Integrity Team, said there had been an extensive outreach and education programme over the past two years. “The department’s focus initially will be to support regulated parties understand and comply with the new regulatory reporting requirements. “As increasing levels of understanding and compliance take effect the
department expects to take increasingly firmer responses to non-compliance,” Bostock said. Breaches of the act carry a maximum penalty of a two-year jail sentence and fine of up to $300,000 for an individual and $5 million for body corporates. Bostock said the main challenge for the DIA in carrying out its role would be the large number and variety of entities it had to supervise. The Reserve Bank – which is overseeing banks, life insurers and non-bank deposit takers – said because reporting entities have had a time to get ready, there would be no transition period. “This means that reporting entities must comply with their obligations on 30 June 2013,” a spokesperson said. All reporting entities would be audited every two years or at any other time
at the request of their supervisor, the bank spokesperson said. “Based on the bank’s interactions to date, it considers its regulated entities are relatively well prepared for the commencement of the AML regime.” The FMA expected all the businesses it was supervising would be compliant by June 30. “Due to the long lead-in time and the work we have already done with reporting entities, FMA does not expect the enforcement of AML/CFT to present any major challenges,” said spokesperson Tony Reid. Reid said where non-compliance was identified, the FMA would use a range of tools to deliver “a timely, effective and proportionate response”. “We may undertake further inquiry or expect a reporting entity to adjust its compliance and will follow up to

Geoffrey Robert Webb, 53, a company manager, of Twizel, was convicted of driving with an excess blood alcohol level of 131mg, and driving while suspended. It was Webb’s third conviction, the last six years ago, but his lawyer Paul Bradford persuaded Judge Walsh to hold back from further disqualification because of his client’s work commitments. In detailed letters of affidavit, supporters, including the Department of Conservation, explained he managed a company that controlled wildling pine trees in remote back country areas. A driving disqualification would signal the end of his company and the loss of income for six employees as he would not be able to quote on jobs or drive to potential areas of work. Judge Walsh acknowledged it was specialist work, and sentenced Webb to 180 hours of community work on both matters. “It would be trite to say you haven’t got a problem with the booze,” he added.

Allied Farmers handed $4.2m debt notice
By Adam Bennett The 113,000 so-called “mum and dad” investors who bought Mighty River shares earlier this month included companies, trusts and investment institutions, Treasury has confirmed. The Government says one of the most important reasons for partially privatising state-owned power companies is to give ordinary New Zealanders an opportunity to buy shares in sound dividend paying companies listed on the sharemarket. However, just 113,000 investors bought shares in the “retail” part of the share offer aimed at such buyers compared with 235,000 who bought shares in Contact Energy 14 years ago. Yesterday Treasury confirmed to NewstalkZB that those 113,000 investors, “could include companies, trusts or New Zealand investment institutions that did not wish to participate in the Institutional Offer and so chose to apply through the General Offer”. Treasury also confirmed that all investors who bought shares in the General Offer including trusts, companies and investment institutions were eligible for the loyalty bonus share scheme. The scheme means investors will receive one additional share for each 25 they bought in the initial offer and held for 24 months. The bonus shares are capped at 200 per investor. Treasury’s admission comes just a few days after it revealed to the Green Party that half the shares in the retail offer
ensure that this is done. “In some cases, notices, warnings or enforceable undertakings may be used. Further non-compliance could result in stronger action, such as civil or criminal prosecution,” Reid said. The FMA will oversee issuers of securities, brokers, financial advisers, trustee companies, collective investment schemes and futures dealers. Reid said the authority had been engaging with industry players via road shows, seminars, questionnaires, one-on-one visits and targeted presentations. “FMA has visited over 100 medium/ large reporting entities to assess preparedness for the regime,” he said. The AML/CFT Act aims to help boost New Zealand’s financial reputation overseas and meet international obligations. – APNZ

went to just 13,000 investors and 10 per cent went to just 400 who made an average investment of almost $250,000 each. Yesterday’s acknowledgement that companies, trusts and investment institutions were able to buy shares in the retail offer “is a further nail in the coffin of National’s myth that it was selling shares to ordinary Kiwi ‘mums and dads’,” Green Party Co-leader Russell Norman said. “That was always a con, and the facts prove it.”
Dr Norman questioned whether Prime Minister John Key really knew at all how many ordinary New Zealanders bought Mighty River shares. “Any further asset sales will only be worse in this regard because Mighty River Power has already given New Zealanders a chance to buy into a partially-privatised electricity company and they overwhelmingly rejected it. If ordinary Kiwis didn’t want to buy into Mighty River Power, who’s going to buy Meridian?” – APNZ
Allied Farmers, which kept itself alive in March through a fire sale of toxic loans, is back in the firing line after its rural unit was yesterday served with a liquidation notice by the Inland Revenue Department over a $4.2 million tax bill. The Hawera-based company was served with the notice, 26 days after it was filed with the High Court, it said in a statement. Allied Farmers’ rural subsidiary received a statutory demand from the tax department on February 25 and has been in discussions with the IRD since then. The court filing “is surprising given that AFRL (Allied Farmers Rural) understands the statutory demand had expired” by May 1, it said. “AFRL will be seeking legal advice to clarify the matter, but in the meantime continues its discussions with IRD and remains hopeful of achieving a settlement with the IRD before the hearing which is set down for 23 July 2013.” The company survived a call on debt from an unnamed creditor earlier this year after it sold various loan assets with no book value for $100,000 upfront and potential for a further $500,000. It later sold its Taranaki real estate unit for $472,500 last month
Allied Farmers Rural held assets worth $7.72 million and liabilities of $9.44 million as at December 31, according to the company’s firsthalf report. The division reported a first-half loss of $800,000, down from a loss of $1.5 million a year earlier and said it expects to be profitable in the second half, when it gets most of its earnings. In December 2011, Allied Farmers Rural sold its livestock business, with $280,000 of assets, for shares in a wholly owned subsidiary, New Zealand Farmers Livestock. It then sold part of that company to a firm owned by employees of Allied Farmers Rural, and issued more shares to Allied Farmers Rural’s livestock agents, leaving it with 68 per cent of the new company. Those transactions were settled on a cash basis with a valuation of the livestock business at $7.5 million. Allied Farmers is trying to rebuild itself after its disastrous acquisition of financial assets from Hanover and United Finance for $394 million in 2009. It has ringfenced what’s left of the assets in its Allied Farmers Investments unit, which had assets of $25.7 million, according to its first-half accounts. The shares were unchanged at 2.5 cents yesterday, valuing Allied Farmers at just $2.27 million. – APNZ

Hezbollah fighters called on to defect Syria’s main opposition group called yesterday on Hezbollah fighters to defect, as members of the Lebanese Shiite movement led an assault on Qusayr in central Syria and a day after its leader vowed victory. Hezbollah, a key ally of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s regime, “repeats Assad’s grievous mistake of forcing his people to kill innocent Syrians, which will undoubtedly lead the honourable members of Hezbollah to
defect and stand by the truth,” said a statement from the Syrian National Coalition. “The Syrian Coalition hopes for peace for the people of Lebanon and rejects Hezbollah’s call to turn the Syrian revolution into a regional conflict,” the opposition group added. On Sunday, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah vowed “victory” in the battles raging in neighbouring Syria in a speech to mark the 13th anniversary
of the Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon. “I say to all the honourable people, to the mujahedeen, to the heroes: I have always promised you a victory and now I pledge to you a new one” in Syria, he said. “Syria is the rear guard of the resistance (Hezbollah’s fight with Israel), its backbone, and the resistance cannot stay with its arms folded when its rear guard is exposed.”
The Syrian opposition said Nasrallah “has used ideological, extremist, and fringe rhetoric in order to push followers of Hezbollah into a war based on deception, false legacies and lies, driving the group to death and destruction”. Hezbollah has joined a Syrian army and paramilitary assault on rebel bastion Qusayr in central Syria, which is strategic because of its proximity to the Lebanese border and because it lies near
the route linking Damascus to the coast. The group has reportedly sent 1700 men to fight in Syria, sparking outrage among Western states. Syria’s conflict has spilled over into Lebanon, which was dominated by Damascus for 30 years until 2005. Through his allies, Assad continues to exert significant influence over the small Mediterranean country. Thirty people have died in six days of battles in the northern
Lebanese port city of Tripoli, pitting Sunnis who back the Syrian rebellion against Alawites who back Assad, a Lebanese security source said. Four people were wounded in Lebanon when two rockets exploded in the Shiite-majority Hezbollah heartland of south Beirut, a second security source said. “This incident is probably related to the conflict in Syria,” the source added. – AFP
Aid workers trapped in siege rescued Ten terrified international aid workers huddled inside a fortified room in Kabul for two hours during a Taliban attack until they were rescued by Afghan police, the aid group said yesterday. A Nato commander said the dramatic operation bodes well for the country’s future without foreign forces. An Afghan police officer and two civilians were killed. The top commander of the international military coalition said the relatively low number of casualties was a sign of how Afghan forces have “markedly improved” as they increasingly take over responsibility for protecting the country ahead of most foreign troops’ withdrawal next year. That militants were able to launch two attacks in the capital in a little over a week – another car bomb killed six Americans and nine Afghan bystanders eight days before – prove how fierce a fight Afghan forces face. Still, Maj. Gen Joseph Osterman, director of operations for the coalition, said he has seen “marked improvement” over previous years.
“This particular one was very impressive,” he said. Richard Danziger, chief of mission for the International Organisation for Migration, thanked police for the rescue during Saturday’s Taliban assault with a car bomb and attackers wearing suicide bomb vests and wielding shoulder-fired grenade launchers. He also praised the group’s armed Nepalese guards, five of whom were wounded. “Both the police and our ... guards, they held their ground and fought for two hours until they found a time when they could grab our staff and take them out,” Danziger said at a news conference with his deputy, Enira Krdzalic, who survived the siege. All four of the attackers were killed. A six-year-old Afghan girl initially reported dead turned out to be among the 17 people wounded, Sediqqi said. Four IOM staff were wounded, including one Italian woman who was badly burned by a grenade. Danziger said earlier police reports that one of the Nepalese – AP guards died was not true.
Authorities say a 62-yearold skydiver has died after plummeting into a Southern California backyard. UT San Diego cites a preliminary investigation report that finds a group of skydivers were trying a multiple person manoeuvre over Riverside County on Sunday when one of them became entangled in a parachute. The man was unable to free himself and fell to the ground. Police found him in the backyard of a Lake Elsinore home. He was taken to a hospital where he was – AP pronounced dead.

No more Everest, says 80-year-old climber Anti-gay marriage protest turns violent By Charlotte Plantive Riot police have battled hundreds of troublemakers in Paris at the end of a largely peaceful march by tens of thousands opposed to France’s new gay marriage law. Yesterday’s main demonstration saw three separate processions converging on the Invalides esplanade, filling the huge promenade with pink and blue – the official colours of the anti-gay marriage movement. Police said 150,000 people turned out to protest, a fig-
ure immediately contested by organisers of the demonstration who said one million opponents of the law had shown up. By early evening, no incidents had been reported despite the presence of far-right activists, some of whom briefly unfurled a banner at the ruling Socialist party’s headquarters urging President Francois Hollande to resign. But as the protesters dispersed, police said up to 500 people began attacking them by throwing metal barriers, smoke flares and beer bottles. Police said they arrested 96
people and used tear-gas to fight off the troublemakers. The youths shouted slogans against the government such as “Socialist dictatorship” and also threw objects at journalists covering the event. On Sunday, police detained 50 people involved in an antigay marriage protest on the busy Champs-Elysees avenue. Fears of unrest at yesterday’s march had been fuelled by violence that erupted earlier this month during celebrations marking football club Paris Saint-Germain’s league victory that saw tourists attacked
and shop and car windows smashed. Some 4500 security forces were mobilised for what was billed as a last-ditch show of force by opponents of the bill allowing same-sex marriage and adoption, which was voted into law on May 18 following months of bitter protests. Interior Minister Manuel Valls had warned that so-called “ultras” – many of them farright nationalists – were expected to infiltrate the protest and cause unrest, and advised parents not to bring their children – AFP with them.

The story behind the little grey donkey By Michael Hanrahan
A
little grey donkey came to visit the Ashburton Museum last year. He (we’re assuming he was a he) stayed a few months but recently returned to his home in Christchurch. He wasn’t here because he was going to become part of the collection, but because his owner, whose possession he had been in for more than 60 years, wanted to know more about the man who had manufactured him in Ashburton all those years ago. He was made from a single flat piece of wood and pulls a little wooden cart. The donkey is painted grey but the cart is painted in bright reds and blues. He was intended to be a pull-along toy, but the wheels attached to his legs disappeared long ago. The interesting feature is a transfer, one of the old water-slip type, on the front of the cart with the maker’s name, “Manufactured by A. E. Lindeloff, Ashburton”. Investigating more about this maker brought to light an interesting story. Albert Edward Lindeloff was born in Marton in 1910, the oldest child and only surviving son of Swedish immigrant Victor Lindeloff and his wife Ruth, nee Body. In 1921, when Albert was 11, his father died and his mother remarried later the same year, and came to live in Ashburton in the 1920s. During the 1930s Albert was a gold prospector for some years at Matakanui in Central Otago, near Omakau. His prospecting may have moved into actual gold mining, as he is known to have operated the big sluice guns used for mining in that area. He also spent time in Ashburton during that period. It was then that he began manufacturing wooden items, including toys, in a shop in the Triangle, on the north side of Victoria Street. Once or twice he got into some scrapes with the law, on one occasion producing a revolver when confronted by a constable who was observing him in the Ashburton Domain. In the days before home detention his escapades eventually earned him a spell in jail with hard labour. When World War Two broke out Albert was living in Wellington, working as a mechanical engineer. He had volunteered for overseas service and his name was among the 3253 men from the Wellington area called up in August 1941 for service in Class A of the 2nd Division of the General Reserve. He served as a gunner in the 29th Light Anti Aircraft battery in the Solomon Islands, was promoted to bombardier before being wounded. He was on a landing ship taking part in the invasion of The Green Islands in the New Guinea group when the ship was hit by a Japanese mortar shell. Albert received multiple shrapnel wounds and was invalided home. He had married in Wellington prior to the war, and his wife, Gertrude, shifted to Ashburton about that time, living in Peter Street with Albert’s mother and her husband. On his arrival home Albert came to Ashburton, and it was then he resumed his business making small wooden items, including toys. Initially he worked as a toymaker and wood turner from the Peter Street address before he and Gertrude moved to a shop and residence on the south side of Tancred Street, almost opposite the Arcade. While he described himself officially as a builder, he put his Government rehabilitation loan to good use buying woodworking machinery for his business. He built his own wood lathe and made furniture and boats to order

for his customers, following in the footsteps of his own grandfather who had been a cabinetmaker in Wellington many years before. He made his toys in batches using jigs so each batch would be identical with others. On one occasion he made a batch of 50 model aeroplanes, with the fuselages all being turned out on the lathe he built. He put his name on some of the toys he made, but not all of them. Having had experience as a mechanical engineer in Wellington before the war, he also experimented with metalwork. Among other things he designed and built a pistol-type grenade launcher, as he felt the rifles used by the army to launch grenades were too clumsy in the bush found in the Pacific islands. It was tested at the Butts in Ashburton, and worked to perfection, but was not adopted by the army. Albert and Gertrude remained in the Tancred Street premises in Ashburton until 1948, then moved briefly to Burnett Street, but by 1949 Albert had returned to his old trade as an engineer, now in Christchurch, where

they lived in Sandyford Street, Sydenham. He worked as an engineer for a rubber company, one of his projects being to design and build a machine to stamp out the erasers for pencils. He continued his woodworking in Christchurch, making larger toys, some almost large-scale models of such things as trucks. Gertrude died in May 1953 and Albert eventually moved to Lyttelton, still as an engineer, until he retired about 1970. A retirement activity was to return to his old interest of prospecting for gold. It was while doing this on the West Coast in October 1982 that he died. Albert and a partner had gone on a prospecting trip. They separated briefly and Albert sat on a log at the side of a river to wait. His friend returned to find him dead. His time in Ashburton was relatively brief, but thanks to one little wooden donkey we have been able to put together an interesting life story. The Ashburton Museum would be very interested to hear if any other toys made by Albert have survived.

Best sharemilkers found Southland sharemilkers Don and Jess Moore were named the best in their trade at the New Zealand Dairy Industry Awards at the weekend. Head judge Brian Power said the pair was typical of some very capable young people coming through the industry. “This year’s winners and finalists are taking on the challenge and raising the game in all areas of dairy farming – in productivity, as well as in the environment, health and safety, and human resources – and that’s heartening to see,” he said. Farm manager of the year was Richard Pearse, who farms at Hinds, and dairy trainee of the year was James Warren, also of Southland. “All the winners are young, ambitious and really passionate about helping other young people get started in the industry.” Mr Power said the Moores’ enthusiasm was infectious. “They have a great way of coming across and there’s no pretence.” Mr Moore is a former deep-sea fisherman who switched careers to dairy farming five years ago. It has proved a successful move, as in 2010 he won the Southland Farm
Manager of the Year title on the same farm he now 50 per cent sharemilks 950 cows. The couple, who won $43,200 in prizes, had a great relationship with the farm owners, Bruce and Sue, and Jeff and Edith Cunningham, and this had enabled them to progress from managing to sharemilking on the property, Mr Power said. “They have an innovative way of leasing the cows from the owners to buy. They had also defined their values and aspirations for the farm and were using that information to plan capital development for the farm.” Staff were well supported by the Moores. “We got a great feel about the HR systems and the integration of their staff into the business.” The runners-up in the sharemilker/ equity farmer contest were Morgan and Hayley Easton from Canterbury/North Otago, and Garth and Nicola Thomson from Central Plateau placed third. Mr Pearse milks 950 cows for Graham and Jane Thomas at Hinds. With his veterinarian partner, Susan Geddes, the couple aim to progress to sharemilking or equity farming and ultimately owning a 1000-cow property.
Mr Warren was a stand-out winner, head dairy trainee judge Rick Pridmore said. He had an interesting back story that epitomised his attitude and ambition. Having grown up in Wellington, he attended Massey University to study farming on a DairyNZ Scholarship. Upon graduating he worked on a cattle ranch in Canada before heading to Ireland for five years, during which time he set up a company selling grass seed. He returned to New Zealand to fulfill his dairy farming ambitions and progresses to a farm manager’s position on a 700cow farm next month. He is an assistant on a 1000-cow Winton farm owned by Tony and Vicki Miles. “He’s achieved all his two-year goals, and his next ambition is to be an equity manager. “A DVD he prepared for us was an incredible use of three minutes and he answered questions with comments that were considered and concise and quite insightful really. “He has confidence and will be a good industry leader,” Mr Pridmore said. “It’s a high priority for him to help people get into the industry.”

Young Farmers boost chopper appeal Craig Halliday (left) from the Pendarves Fire Unit, Russell Harris (St John team leader), and Pendarves Young Farmers Andrew Harcourt and Shannon Notter were a happy group last week – the Young Farmers were happy to hand over $500 to St John for its Westpac helicopter fundraising appeal. Mr Harris said the medical rescue organisation relied on donations from community organisations and people to fund equipment and every bit helped. Farmers and those living in rural communities are among the thousands of people needing help each year.
Workshops for busy beekeepers Beekeepers from all over New Zealand will converge on Ashburton next month for their national conference. The five-day conference will celebrate 100 years since the National Beekeepers Association was formed and run practical sessions for small and hobby beekeepers, as well as an essential skills workshop for younger beekeepers. Special guest will be comedian and historian Te Radar, who will speak at the conference dinner. Speakers at seminars organised from June 16-20 include Australian Honey Bee Industry Council executive director Trevor Weatherhead,
author of books about vanishing bees Grace Pundyk, bee advocate Sue Kedgley and a host of business, trade and science experts. There will be plenty of beekeeping memorabilia on display each day at the conference venue, the Hotel Ashburton. Honey bees have been kept in New Zealand for over 150 years and New Zealand is now recognised as one of the most advanced beekeeping countries. Bees are important for both pollination and honey production, though they are under pressure from pests like varroa and indiscriminate use of pesticide.
Bolderston’s fodder beet the one to beat Chris Bolderston’s fodder beet could not be beaten last week in the Ashburton A&P Association’s annual winter feed competition. The crop scored top overall in the contest, which had judges visiting farms in the Ashburton area over two days. Runner-up overall was Richard Lemon, with his fodder beet crop. The Winterfeed Cup (judges’ selection) went to Mark Copland (Swedes). Full results Rape: Peter Lowe 1, David Butterick 2, Rex Lash 3. Kale (target crop): Ross Duncan 1, Chris Curd 2, David Butterick 3. Turnips: Andrew Sparks 1. Swedes: Mark Copland 1. Swedes/Kale: Fergus Butterick 1. Autumn sown pasture: Peter Lowe 1. Autumn saved pasture: Andrew Sparks 1, Watt Copland 2, Alan Martin 3. Mixture of any winterfeed: David Bennett 1. Greenfeed cereal (oats): Chris Curd 1, Andrew Sparks 2, Alan Martin 3. Fodder beet: Chris Bolderston 1, Richard Lemon 2, David Butterick 3.
Quigleys best crop A paddock of fodder beet grown by Quigley Farming was the best crop in the Mayfield A&P Association’s winter feed competition. The Quigleys won the Ravensdown Trophy for their efforts, the fodder beet scoring 61.78 points after being scrutinised by judges last week. Carl Shannon, with another crop of fodder beet, was second. The best dryland crop went to Mark Greenslade, for kale yielding 15.1 tonne per hectare. The target crop winner was Steven Shearer (kale) and the Ennis Corbett Memorial Trophy was won by Ben Morrow (kale). Full results – Kale: Steven Shearer 47.74pts, Marteen Stolp 46.25, Barry Daly 45.57. Rape: James Wright 39.63, Ian Ludeman 31.49. Grass: Andrew McKenzie 30.75.

LAMB Positivity stemming from reasonable rainfall in most regions, improved overseas returns and lifting schedule prices is now apparent at the saleyards. The store lamb market has lifted at all the major centres across the country recently. Temperatures in most regions have been more than 1°C warmer than normal during May, according to NIWA, which has helped boost pasture growth leading into winter. This has provided many farmers with the feed required to buy lambs again, with the lifting schedule also giving them more confidence. Good demand has also been reported for ewes and ewe lambs with breeding potential at a number of saleyards, particularly any already scanned-in-lamb ewes, indicating reasonable intent from farmers to increase capital stock numbers.
BEEF Virtually all forces have continued acting against the US manufacturing beef market. US domestic supplies remain high, offerings out of Australia are strong, and New Zealand’s huge supplies from earlier in the season are now available on-shore in the US. At the same time, demand has been underwhelming. However, it is hoped that good weather over the Memorial Day weekend in the US will lift beef consumption. More cattle have come forward for slaughter in the North Island during the last couple of weeks which has seen the recent schedule increases come to a halt. Prices have, however, lifted for bulls and steers in the South Island this week, indicating that the peak cow slaughter there has now passed.

Learning all about pipe seals Frank O’Callaghan, national technical manager for iPlex Pipelines talks to irrigators and industry service people about pipe seals during a workshop at a two-day irrigation event in Ashburton last week. The event attracted farmers who use irrigation and service industry personnel who fit and service the multi-million dollar systems. IrrigationNZ organised speakers for the event, which was aimed at spreading the latest irrigation information and upskilling those who use and service it.
Dairy commodity movements this week for Oceania were mixed. Milkfat prices were slightly firmer whereas nearly all other dairy commodities lost ground. Butter and anhydrous milkfat (AMF) are the “hottest” dairy commodities at present. A flurry of trading activity this week on the NZX Dairy Futures market mainly concentrated on AMF contracts. November and December futures contracts for both AMF and whole milk powder (WMP) are currently priced at US$4000 per tonne. This indicates that prices will continue to ease as new season supply becomes available but the market does not expect them to fall too far. This week, demand for butter in Europe was solid with prices in that market remaining firm whilst prices for skim milk powder (SMP) and whey eased. In the US, butter prices have eased as stocks start to build. Cheese was priced higher this week in the US market than it was a week ago, despite the latest data indicating stocks are growing.

Venus vows to fight on By Dave James Seven-time grand slam champion Venus Williams insisted yesterday that retirement was not on her agenda despite suffering her earliest French Open exit in 12 years. The 32-year-old American slumped to a 7-6 (7-5) 6-7 (4-7) 6-4 loss to Poland’s Urszula Radwanska, 10 years her junior, in the first round, her worst result since losing to Barbara Schett at the same stage in 2001. Troubled by a back injury in recent weeks, the 30th-seeded American had mounted a stirring comeback in the second set tiebreak, clawing her way from 0-4 down to reel off seven points in succession. But the effort was too much as Radwanska, the younger sister of world No.4 Agnieszka, claimed victory on her second match point. Williams, who lost to Agnieszka Radwanska in the second round in Paris in 2012, believes that if she can quickly cure her back ailment, which has slammed the brakes on her service action, she can still confound the doubters in the grasscourt season which lies ahead. “My strategy was more or less to put the ball in, and that’s very difficult for me because that’s not who I am. “But that’s all I had. So that was challenging to be conservative on the serve and then go to be aggressive during the point,� she said. “It changes your mindset.

Venus Williams celebrates winning the second set, but the writing was on the wall and she went on to lose 6-4 in the deciding set. That’s a little challenging. “I want my serve back. “I’m going to try to get it back for Wimbledon.� Williams, a five-time Wimbledon champion, believes she still has a role to play on the courts, if not as a winner anymore then as a role model to other sufferers of Sjogren’s Syndrome, the illness that kept her off tour for seven months between 2011 and 2012. “What I’ve gone through, it’s not easy.
“But I’m strong and I’m a fighter. I don’t think I’m just playing for me now. “I think I’m playing for a lot of people who haven’t felt well,� she said. “I would never give up because, you know, obviously at some point everyone has to retire. “You know, that’s an asterisk, but I feel like I have to give myself a chance to continue working on feeling better. “I wouldn’t just give up just because it was difficult.� - AFP
Kanaan finally wins Indy Brazil’s Tony Kanaan, frustrated after leading eight Indianapolis 500s without a victory, finally won the oval classic yesterday with a tension-packed restart pass with three laps remaining. Kanaan overtook US leader Ryan Hunter-Reay on the restart and a crash by defending champion Dario Franchitti moments later handed Kanaan a longsought triumph over 200 laps at the 4km Indianapolis Motor Speedway oval. “I can’t believe it. I’m speechless,� Kanaan said. “I got a little bit of luck today.� Kanaan ensured his likeness will be moulded onto the champions’ trophy in his 12th Indy start.
“We were known for not winning. Now we’re known for winning,� Kanaan said. “This is it. I made it. Finally, I’m going to put my ugly face on that trophy.� On the lap-198 restart after a crash by US racer Graham Rahal, Kanaan went low around Hunter-Reay and took the lead in the first turn while Colombian rookie Carlos Munoz, in his first IndyCar race, went high and took second. Seconds later, Franchitti hit the wall to bring out yellow flags for the final time as the race cruised to the finish under slow-speed caution laps. “I couldn’t believe it,� Kanaan
said. “The last lap was the longest lap of my life. I wanted the pace car to hurry up.� Hunter-Reay was third, American Marco Andretti fourth. There were an Indy 500 record 14 leaders and 68 lead changes, twice the old record set just last year. Munoz, Indy’s youngest front row starter at age 21, was sorry he never had the chance to battle Kanaan at full speed over the final laps. “I had a shot to overtake for the win. I couldn’t do anything,� Munoz said. “I’m sad now, but I think I had the car to win this thing. Maybe next year I will get the chance to win it.� - AFP

Sky Movies 1, 10.15pm (2012, M) Taylor Kitsch (below) plays a Civil War soldier transported inexplicably to an alien planet where he gets caught up in an intergalactic conflict between warring extraterrestrial races. Director Andrew Stanton (Wall-E) makes a solid live-action debut with this very Star Wars-esque adventure, based on the classic Edgar Rice Burrough’s novel. Great effects and some terrific action make this a top example of good old fashioned entertainment.

In his father’s footsteps Nico Rosberg became the first son of a former Monaco Grand Prix winner to triumph on the streets of the Mediterranean principality when he drove his Mercedes to an accomplished victory yesterday. In a chaotic race littered with accidents, red flags and two Safety Car interventions, the 27-year-old German, son of 1983 victor and original ‘flying Finn’ Keke Rosberg, produced an impeccable and flawless race to claim the second win of his career. After more than two hours and 20 minutes of contested action,

he came home ahead of secondplaced defending triple world champion German Sebastian Vettel and his Red Bull team-mate, Australian Mark Webber. Briton Lewis Hamilton, the 2008 champion and Rosberg’s Mercedes teammate, finished fourth after losing two positions due to the delayed introduction of the first Safety Car early in the race. It was the first win by a Mercedes works team driver at the Monaco Grand Prix since Manfred Von Brauchitsch on August 8, 1937 and came 30 years on from his father’s win.

I can’t believe it - the car has been awesome. Thank you - it’s been very special for me today.” Rosberg had started from his third successive pole position, but this time managed to convert that advantage into a victory. “Very well done, Nico,” said Mercedes team chief Ross Brawn. “A fantastic job. With all the incidents going on, you managed it perfectly.” German Adrian Sutil finished a strong fifth for Force India
ahead of Briton Jenson Button for McLaren, two-time champion Spaniard Fernando Alonso of Ferrari and Frenchman Jean-Eric Vergne. Briton Paul Di Resta finished ninth in the second Force India with luckless Finn Kimi Raikkonen taking 10th for Lotus after being pushed out of fifth by a collision with aggressive Mexican Sergio Perez. Brazilian Felipe Massa in the second Ferrari started from the back of the grid and crashed again in a replica of his big accident on Saturday morning. In the drivers’ championship, Vettel enhanced his position as leader with 107 points ahead of Raikkonen on 86 and Alonso on 78. - AFP

Rep rugby gets down to business By Jonathan Leask The Mid Canterbury rugby squad will turn up the tempo tonight as they prepare for their Hanan Shield clash with holders South Canterbury at their 125th Jubilee celebrations in Timaru on Saturday. The team assembled for a light training session on Sunday to get through a lot of the tedious plan-
ning so they can get straight into business at tonight’s training. “Sunday was just to go over some of the strategy and game plan stuff that takes time and is probably better done in the daylight,” new Mid Canterbury coach Glenn Moore said. The forwards worked on some basic technique in the set pieces and their lineout calls while the backs ran through some set moves,
Final hurdles defeat boxers Ashburton’s boxers were beaten in their finals at the South Island Golden Gloves in Kaiapoi at the weekend. The Ashburton Boxing Club had four boxers entered and three featured in finals delighting coach Colin Sheehan. “It was a big tournament and a big step up for them all, but they performed with merit,” Sheehan said. The golden gloves debutant Connor Perriton, 11, won a convincing victory in his first bout before being on the wrong end of a split points decision in the mini cadets final. In the under 70kg Declan O’Neill Sullivan Leonard: Lost on split decision had one opponent in a straight
final, Rotorua’s Ricaia Warren who came in with 58 fights behind him and was using the weekend as preparation for defending his title at this weekend’s North Island Golden Gloves. “It was a unanimous decision against him but he stood up well against a vastly more experienced fighter who is in the New Zealand squad. “[Warren] is a good boxer and a name to watch for the future so Declan couldn’t have picked a better guy to go up against. “He was up to it, wasn’t disgraced and he’ll kick on from here.” In the youth novice under 81 kg Sullivan Leonard had a convincing majority victory in his first fight of the tournament, but he was also on the wrong end of a split decision
in his final against a tough West Coaster. “Sully had a better first fight than his second where he lacked a little bit in the first round.” For a second year in a row Christian Tikao attended the Golden Gloves but didn’t step in the ring, but this year it wasn’t because he had no opposition. “He wasn’t able to train in the lead up and I wasn’t going to put him into the ring if he wasn’t fully prepared for it.” The next stop for the club is a tournament in Timaru in two weeks. “We’ll see how the boys pull up and what we’re going to do with them. “We have a few other young fellas who haven’t had a fight yet so we’ll try get matches for them too.”
Brown takes out Fiji triathlon New Zealander Cameron Brown has dominated the inaugural Fiji International Triathlon at the weekend. Brown, who is building up for Ironman Cairns in two weeks, won the half-distance race in 3:47.44 by 12 minutes from Australian Michael Prince. Brown was fourth after the two kilometre swim, just behind the leaders in the balmy 25C water off Denarau. He put the pressure on early in the 90km bike, which was three laps from Denarau to Nadi and return on new, pristine roads. He went through the first 40km
in under an hour and came off the bike with Australian Ben Wriede but well clear of any others. The Australian tried to push hard off the bike on the 20km run around the Denerau Golf Club and soon paid for his hard work as he cracked and eventually finished well back in third. Brown pushed clear to win in 3:47.44. “It was an excellent race and a really good course,” Brown said. “As the weather has turned pretty wet and cold at home, it was fantastic to get to some hot weather and a good hit-out for me. “I am back to Auckland for

so when training rolls around they team can get straight into it without too much deliberation. Moore has been working with the players since April, but the side will have limited time to be working on their gameplay heading into Saturday’s grudge match, previously focusing on individual skills and fitness. The team preparations will take a big lift in intensity as the squad
push for positions in the final 22 for Saturday, a squad which Moore will announce on Thursday night. “Everyone looked alright but there are a few niggles with a couple of the backs that we will need to monitor.” One player who won’t be in the 22 is Methven’s Richard Catherwood, with the utility back out of action for most of the season so far and that won’t change this weekend.
Black Sticks mix youth, experience for World League New Zealand mens hockey coach Colin Batch has named eight Olympians and several newcomers for next month’s World League semifinal tournament. Batch said he hoped the combination of experience and youth would help create a successful team in Rotterdam. Seven of those named have fewer than 20 caps, including junior World Cup squad players Kane Russell, George Muir and Jared Panchia. “These three players had strong performances during the Korean test series and I think they have real potential,” said Batch. Simon Child and Brad Shaw made themselves unavailable for the World League. Both players have indicated they will return for the Ford National Hockey League which is compulsory for all those vying for selection in the 2014 national squad. The World League, held on June 13-23, is the new qualification tournament for the 2014 World Cup. The Black Sticks men are in Pool B and will face the Netherlands, Ireland and India in pool play. Australia, Spain, Belgium are confirmed to play in Pool A, with the fourth team still to be finalised. Black Sticks men’s team: Cory Bennett (North Harbour), Nick Haig (Canterbury), Andy Hayward (Midlands), Dean Couzins
Blake Ferguson is lucky to have Laurie Daley in his corner, and the NSW Origin debutant knows it. When Ferguson went missing from an emerging Blues camp in January, Daley was far from impressed. But the new Blues coach sat down with the troubled star and gave him another chance in the Indigenous All Stars team he also coaches. And in March, when the Canberra centre went within an inch of having his NRL contract torn up after drinking Breezers on a roof with Josh Dugan, Daley gave Ferguson the spray he needed to hear. “Yeah, he just told me to pull my head in I guess,” says Ferguson of the blunt conversation that helped propel him from bad boy to Blues bolter. - AAP
• Grosjean ‘dangerous’ Australian Daniel Ricciardo has branded rival Formula One driver Romain Grosjean dangerous after the Lotus driver cannoned into him in yesterday’s Monaco Grand Prix. The erratic Frenchman, who has been involved in a number of controversial crashes in recent seasons, sparked another spectacular incident when he ran into the back of Ricciardo’s Toro Rosso, ruining both drivers’ race. Grosjean was hit with a ten-place grid penalty for next month’s Canadian Grand Prix after the collision, which happened under braking at the Nouvelle Chicane late in the race. It ended Ricciardo’s race immediately and Grosjean retired a lap later. - AAP
• Indians take out IPL Australian paceman Mitchell Johnson took two key wickets as his Mumbai Indians won a corruption-stained IPL tournament. Johnson’s Mumbai downed Mike Hussey’s Chennai Super Kings by 23 runs in the Eden Gardens decider, as corruption investigations into the IPL continue. The Super Kings entered the final reeling from the arrest of their top official, the son-inlaw of Indian cricket’s highest office holder, for corruption two days ago. The Chennai outfit were set 149 runs to win the final but crumbled to 125 all out with left-arm paceman Johnson taking 2-19 from his four overs. Hussey made just one, bowled by a Lasith Malinga swinger, as the Super Kings lost their third IPL final - including the past two of a tournament scarred by - AAP spot-fixing scandals.

NBA champions Miami bounced back with a vengeance yesterday, racing to an early lead and rolling to a 114-96 victory over Indiana in game three of the Eastern Conference finals. Miami, stung by a game-two defeat on their home floor on Friday, struck back to take a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series. The winner will advance to the NBA finals to take on San Antonio or Memphis for the league crown. NBA Most Valuable Player LeBron James led the Heat with 22 points. He scored 18 in the first half as all five Miami starters scored in double figures. the Heat remained unbeaten on the road - AFP in the offseason.

VENUS BOWS OUT EARLY FROM FRENCH OPEN P12 | REP RUGBY TEAM GETS DOWN TO THE SERIOUS BUSINESS P13
midfield against France for the first test at Eden Park on June 8. Nonu’s Highlanders’ team-mate Ben Smith has been outstanding at fullback recently but is likely to play a bench role, covering midfield and outside backs. Likewise, it would be a shock to seen anyone other than Carter start at No10, despite the claims from 24-year-old Cruden, who again shaded him at Waikato Stadium during the Chiefs’ 28-19 victory at the weekend. Foster acknowledged Cruden’s form, but added Carter had been playing well too recently following an extended break for paternity leave which was extended by a hamstring injury. The

Dan Carter: Unlikely to be shifted out into the All Blacks midfield.
Why not enforce the follow-on? Why risk a decent crack at the New Zealanders to win the test series 2-0? Surely England could not have felt the threat of part-time off spinner Kane Williamson loomed so large that they should avoid batting fourth at all costs? A paltry chase was in the offing. Regardless of the match result, the decision was hardly ruthless. A more compelling case suggests the visitors’ bowling attack was used as Ashes fodder; an opportunity for an open wicket before Australia, the main course of the summer.
England’s decision not to enforce the follow-on baffled many during the second cricket test against New Zealand at Headingley. Why would captain Alastair Cook, with a lead of 180 and his bowlers still reasonably fresh after just 43.4 overs work, opt to bat for a second time rather than compound the pressure on New Zealand? Any Leeds forecast seemed to indicate rain, at least by Tuesday.
What is this person famous for?
Foster said. “Beaudie, you’ve got to put him in the mix too, he’s been playing well recently. “This time if year when you get those head-to-head battles, it’s always interesting the comparisons, but I think all three of them have played very good rugby in the last month and we’re happy with it.” Foster suggested the All Blacks wouldn’t be changing their attack too much in the three-test series against France, adding they would just try to “add a bit if colour” to break down what he said were increasingly flat defensive lines. “It’s not radical, it’s just designed to move it a little bit to give ourselves a few more options.” * Hurricanes prop Jeffery Toomaga-Allen has been ruled out for the rest of the season following a knee injury during his team’s loss to Chiefs a fortnight ago. Toomaga-Allen, who had been named in the first All Blacks wider training group, only to have to withdraw after the injury, has a torn MCL, but surgery is not required. - APNZ

New Zealand had become what they feared ... an entree. All the England top order could use a few extra real deliveries in the middle rather than padding up in the nets. Graeme Swann was having none of that theory after the third day. “We felt the best way to win was to put a fatigued New Zealand into the field, which I’m sure their bowlers weren’t too happy about, and you can’t blame them. We aimed to build a formidable lead and let the pitch deteriorate to give ourselves the best chance to bowl them out.” - HOS

Dan Carter’s short-term future in the All Blacks appears to be in the playmaker’s role, despite his ability to play in the midfield and the increasing competition from Aaron Cruden. Carter, 31, began his All Blacks career at second-five, and finished several tests in that position last year, moving out one place to accommodate Cruden. With a potential lack of depth in the midfield this year due to injuries to incumbents Ma’a Nonu and Conrad Smith, impending departures to Japan of Richard Kahui (injury permitting) and Tamati Ellison, Carter moving back to second-five was seen as one way of strengthening that area, but it’s not a serious option according to assistant coach Ian Foster. “Yes it’s possible but we are reasonably happy with our midfield to be honest,” Foster said at the All Blacks training camp at Mt Maunganui yesterday. “I think we’ve got some really good options in there. “I know there’s been a lot of talk about how we’re struggling there but it’s shaping up pretty good.” Nonu has returned to the Highlanders from his knee injury and Smith is hopeful of playing for the Hurricanes against the Brumbies this weekend after a bad concussion just over three weeks ago.

The series is held over three Sundays in May, June and July and had 90 entries in action on a blustery first day where local rider James Waddell was the overall winner. The days are competitive but predominantly used as training days, with riders able to test their skills and that of their mounts in a show atmosphere during the off-season. Last year had three different winners across the three days, however, Ashburton’s Elizabeth Waddell and Navara 2 became the overall winners of the winter series, taking home the Blue Heaven Trophy.
