Truants Delays, delays and more delays get police escort to school By Myles Hume Several Ashburton teens were escorted back to college in the back of a police car as a result of a major truancy blitz yesterday. As part of a drive to lower truancy, Ashburton College and Intermediate staff, police and two truancy officers from the Safer Ashburton District turned up on 15 doorsteps yesterday and sprung pupils who were absent from school without an explanation. Safer Ashburton District truancy officer Tash McKenzie said the random blitz reinforced the message that schools had a zero tolerance for truancy. “It’s about sending a message that people are out there looking and monitoring,” Ms McKenzie said. “Often I think there is a perception that there’s no one that does this job and nothing happens. You often hear that people think schools don’t do anything but that’s not the case.” With senior pupils on exam leave, the college nabbed eight year nine and 10 pupils without an explanation and brought them back to the
campus in a police car. While some of the pupils reacted with shock and sorrow, Ashburton College principal Grant McMillan said it provided a sense of reassurance to parents to remind them that schools are proactive about truancy. Mr McMillan could not confirm the punishment pupils would face, but he said there would be consequences. The 15 cases varied, with some forgetting to call in sick, others having control over parents along with some parents forgetting their obligation of sending their children at school, Mr McMillan said. “It’s about supporting parents and saying to the child that mum is right, dad is right and you do need to be at school,” Mr McMillan said. “It also re-informs some parents there is no choice in this, your child does need to be at college.” Mr McMillan said truancy appeared to be on the decline, with some of the pupils falling victim to the random blitz, while others being serial offenders. “I believe it is getting lower and it’s good, but we would like it even lower than that,” he said.

Travelling between Ashburton and Chertsey will continue to be an exercise in frustration during the summer as the New Zealand
Transport Agency carries out stabilising and strengthening work on State Highway One. The first stage of the work at Chertsey is almost completed with the second stage, just south of the main Chertsey intersection of the
state highway with Jamiesons and Wards roads about to begin. Work is also scheduled to be carried out over the summer on the outside, northbound lane of the passing lane south of Chertsey. Additional work that may slow
traffic, is planned along the state highway roadside as power poles are removed and lines undergrounded. The work is likely to continue into 2013, with a two-week break over the Christmas-New Year period.

Motorists appear to be keeping their hands off their cellphones this week – at least in the Ashburton CBD. In the midst of a week-long police blitz targeting cellphone use, a survey conducted by the Guardian only turned up a single person flouting the law by text messaging while behind the wheel. Laws were introduced three years ago, making drivers liable for an $80 fine and 20 demerit points if caught operating a cellphone. The campaign is aimed at reminding the public of the dangers associated with using cellphones while driving. Statistics released by the Automobile Association New Zealand have revealed talking or texting using non-hands free phones can result in a 400 per cent increase in crash risk.
AA has voiced its support of the police operation and also of increasing penalties for repeat offenders. “Law-abiding motorists are getting sick and tired of seeing other drivers flouting the law and putting them at risk,” AA spokesman Dylan Thomsen said. “There is no excuse for a driver to be on their phone illegally – if you have to talk or text pullover.” Across the country ambulance staff, who frequently deal with the consequences of distracted driving, have also backed the campaign. St John clinical director Tony Smith said choosing to use a cellphone while driving can be difference between life and death on the roads. While the law allows for the use of hands-free mobile phones, both police and the AA encouraged minimalising the potential for distraction by switching

To video or not to video, that’s the question Ashburton District councillors will be grappling with tomorrow. On the agenda at the council’s finance committee meeting is a request from the media to video council meetings and for clippings from those videos to be played on its website. The Ashburton Guardian approached the council last month requesting the right to film some parts of council meetings and run video clips on its website. While some other councils, including Southland, Gore and Dunedin already allow media to video meetings, the Ashburton District Council is not so sure. Muddying the waters further is a request from a video company to video and livestream council meetings and for these videos to be available for later viewing on the council’s website. The Guardian’s option comes free of charge while the commercial option comes with one-off set up costs of $5750 and ongoing costs that could run out at more than $1200 per meeting. Councils that have moved into the video environment have imposed some conditions on how the filming is undertaken, including seeking permission before each meeting of the committee chair, the right for filming to cease when requested and the right to withdraw consent to play a video at any time up to, during or seven days after filming. Its own standing meeting orders do not preclude the right to video a meeting, providing permission of the chair is granted. The council allows news media to report on proceedings in open meetings, providing the recording of meetings is carried out in an unobtrusive manner. Staff have recommended, that rather than using the free video service, the council makes further enquiries around the process and the cost of managing video coverage of meetings using its own service provider. It has also suggested that public interest in meetings being videoed should be gauged in its annual residents’ survey, which will not take place until next year.

Temporary fix to bus route cut By Myles Hume Fears that Rakaia parents may have to uproot their children from Mount Hutt College have been put to rest. However, parents and pupils will have to quash any complacency with it only being temporary measure, a deal that will last one year. Waves of relief surged through Rakaia parents yesterday, who were told only six weeks ago that the Ministry of Education had cut funding for a bus that runs their children
from Rakaia to Mount Hutt College each day, and back. They were told their children may have no way to the college next year, leaving many parents upset and angry that their children may have to switch schools or be driven to Methven. But yesterday it was confirmed that more than 35 parents had agreed to a $75,000 cost sharing arrangement with the Methven Area Bus Group, meaning the bus will run next year. It would mean parents would have to pay $800 a year for their child to have a seat on the bus, while the bus
group would pick up the remainder of about $35,000. Parent Vania Hulse, who publically expressed her concern for her son’s future, showed praise for the bus group who had worked hard to reach the compromise. “People got together eventually and sometimes making a noise about something like this is a good thing when it gets a result,” Ms Hulse said. “Acknowledgement goes to the school and the bus company. Hopefully in 12 months’ time it won’t come to this again.” Mount Hutt College principal John
Schreurs said the bus group would only be able to sustain the funding for a year, however he said it was about being “creative” to reach new alternatives. Mr Schreurs said he was in talks with Ashburton College about overlapping their Transport Entitlement Zones, both including Rakaia. However, it was up to the ministry to give it the go-ahead. “Yes, it is frustrating but we live in a world where we have to follow the rules,” he said. Garry Davies has three children who go to the college, he will have to
pay up to $2400 for the year which was not viable for him. “It’s just another thing to budget for, I will now have to find another way to pay for it but that’s just the way it is,” Mr Davies said. He questioned how the college could charge parents $800 when the bus made four trips along the 35km stretch, he believed the bus driver should spend the day in Methven and wait for the children to finish school. However, he was adamant all three of his children would return to Mount Hutt college next year.
Deception spree An Ashburton woman will be sentenced next year for 37 charges involving numerous incidents of withdrawing and stealing money by deception. Johnelle Leslie Stephanie Rose Albert, 20, unemployed, appeared before Judge Joanna Maze on multiple charges including obtained by deception and driving while suspended. According to the police summary of facts, most of the charges involved using fake identities to withdraw money from bank accounts, including stealing from an 80-yearold Ashburton woman – who allowed Albert to phone the AA on the understanding her vehicle had broken down. Albert pretended to be on the phone before taking the victim’s cheque book, purse and $200 cash. The offences were committed between June and September and reparation costs sought exceed $6000 affecting numerous victims. Judge Maze requested a pre-sentence report and a full reparation report to be completed before sentencing. She convicted Albert on all charges and remanded her until February 4 for sentencing.
Brawler hit An Ashburton man told a judge he was standing up for his family when he punched his victim outside the courthouse. Malcolm Christopher Morunga, 41, pleaded guilty to one charge of common assault before Judge Joanna Maze yesterday in the Ashburton District Court. He was sentenced to 60 hours’ community work. Police prosecutor Sergeant Mylen Hamilton said Morunga went up to his victim outside the courthouse on October 29, asked his name and then punched him in the face causing his nose to bleed heavily. Morunga then pushed the victim through a nearby fence. The victim has since been treated for a fractured nose. When addressed by Judge Maze, Morunga, who represented himself in the dock, said the victim had threatened his family. He told Judge Maze he would not be interested in meeting the victim or making amends and wanted the incident to be dealt with in court. Judge Maze sentenced him to 60 hours’ community work. Other cases dealt with yesterday; + Jay Esker, of Ashburton, breach of protection order pleaded guilty before Judge Joanna Maze. Judge Maze convicted Esker and ordered him to complete 100 hours’ community work.

Bike effort: Ashburton man George Crack is riding from Rolleston to Hinds to raise awareness for prostate cancer. Local businessman Trevor Hurley is supporting the cause and is encouraging the community to get in behind the event and donate.
George puts his body on the line By Sam Morton Ashburton retiree George Crack is putting his body on the line to raise money for prostate cancer. The 83-year-old is hopping on his 1960’s Raleigh three-speed bike and will ride from Rolleston Railway Station to Hinds Tavern on December 2. The 84km trip marks the same distance between the Rangitata and Rakaia rivers – and for Mr Crack it is a day to raise awareness for the “Big C” – which has
previously affected his friends and family. He has received little support from the community thus far, but McGregor Real Estate owner Trevor Hurley has jumped right in behind Mr Crack and made placards promoting the trip. Mr Crack, who has just been named in the local representative bowls team, has always tried to stay active and says the secret to good health is keeping the mind engaged. “I love sport, I always follow it in the paper and look for who is
playing what and who has done what,” he said. “I think keeping the mind busy, that’s the important thing and I always make sure I do that.” In preparation for the bike ride Mr Crack has already completed a trial run from Ashburton to Hinds which he completed in 45 minutes. He was looking forward to the ride and was hoping for good weather. “If I get a good run of weather on the day, I should make the trip in good time.
Anchor stumps up with some cash Three Ashburton community organisations are going head to head to secure the biggest share of a community fund that will shortly be handed out by Anchor. Anchor Growing Communities is a joint initiative with New World super-
markets and over several weeks, shoppers will be handed a token each time they buy Anchor milk. They can choose to deposit that token in one of three boxes to show their support for Ashburton’s Riding for the Disabled, the Ashburton Volunteer Fire Brigade or
Ashburton St John. The pool of $3500 allocated to the Ashburton store will be divvied up according to the number of tokens deposited in each box. Every vote counts - each cause will receive some portion of the money.
Slump in October building consents Building consents issued in the Ashburton District have hit a spring slump, dropping to 81 in October, down from 103 in October last year. But the news is not all bad; numbers might be down but the value of consents issued was almost identical at more than $11 million. Dwindling consent approvals might be just a temporary blip, says council
building services manager Mark Fields, with a rush anticipated shortly by builders as they try to clear projects before the Christmas shutdown. Consent numbers might have been down in October, but when it came to those issued for new homes, numbers continued to climb, at 23 this year, up from 21 in October 2011. The biggest drop in numbers came in
domestic fireplaces, down from 26 to 16. For the year to October 31 consent numbers and values are up – 1176 consents, valued at $121.455 million this year compared to 1058 valued at $82.460 million to October 31, 201. This year the number of new home consents is significantly up at 204 with a value of $61.872 million from 145 valued at $41.067 million.

“It all depends on the weather gods, but either way, I’m determined and I will overcome any mental obstacles. This is a trip I need to do and this is a trip I will complete,” he said. Mr Hurley said anybody wanting to donate to Mr Crack’s fundraiser can drop into McGregor’s, or put a donation in the bucket outside the business. All money raised will go to Prostate Cancer NZ. Mr Crack will leave Rolleston Railway Station at 7.30am on December 2.
Fonterra’s TAF shares at top limit By Jamie Gray Units in the newly-formed Fonterra Shareholders Fund have been priced at the very top of the dairy co-operative’s $4.60 to $5.50 indicative range following a two-day institutional bookbuild, with 58 per cent of units going to New Zealand investors, Fonterra said. Chief Executive Theo Spierings said investors recognised there was some complexity in the structure of Trading Among Farmers, which is unique to Fonterra, but also acknowledged its prominent market position. Fonterra accepted $25 million in oversubscriptions, which took the fund’s size to $525m. More than 2500 members of the “Fonterra Family” - sharemilkers, former farmers and Fonterra employees - as well as around 7000 retail and institutional investors, bought units. A total of 58 per cent of units had been allocated to New Zealand retail and institutional investors, as well as the Friends of Fonterra - including employees of Fonterra’s Australian unit, Bonlac. The remainder was allocated to offshore institutions. “The majority of units are held by New Zealanders,” Spierings said. “And we have a good balance between retail investors who are more likely to hold onto their units, and professional offshore and New Zealand investors who are likely to actively trade units and provide liquidity in the fund, he said in a statement. Fonterra shares on the farmer-only Fonterra Shareholders’ Market are expected to track the price of units in the Fonterra Shareholders’ Fund when trading on the NZX starts on Friday. The issue will be the biggest sharemarket listing in Australasia since the privatisation of Queensland Rail in 2010. Trading Among Farmers share trading scheme has been designed to offset redemption risk, which is when the co-operative is left with an exposure when it pays out farmers who leave the sector. In a separate development, market sources said the intense interest in Fonterra had convinced the alternative milk company, NZX-listed A2 Corp, to ride on the dairy giant’s coattails and embark on its own $200m capital raising through brokers UBS. A2 Corp had chosen to “piggyback” on Fonterra’s extensive investment roadshows around the world, which had drawn investor interest to the sector, said one market source. He said the A2 Corp capital raising would help absorb investment flows from those large numbers of investors who missed out on Fonterra altogether. -APNZ

New format for garden contest By Sue Newman Ashburton’s annual garden competition might have been around for decades, but next year it will come with a couple of new twists. Not only will a new section be included for native plantings but the way in which the competition is judged will also change. Ashburton Horticultural Society president Dick Bennett said the change had been made to accommodate the large number of homes on back sections. Many
of those had great gardens but because finalists had traditionally been chosen after being viewed from the street, back sections were excluded. “It’s new to us, but it’s been done in Christchurch where they are judged from the gate entry and that opens it up to back sections too,” he said. And the changes continue. This year, to make it fair to people whose gardens cannot be seen to their best advantage from the street, rather than judges selecting finalists in the competition, they’re asking home owners to
put their hand up and to enter their gardens. That means all entries will be viewed from the gate, ensuring back sections and properties with high front fences can also be entered. The only section that cannot be voluntarily entered is the premier; this section is only open to property owners who have been previous winners of the open section. They are automatically entered and judged – providing the same people live at the same address. Entries in this season’s competition will be called in January, but Mr Bennett said people need-
ed to know that this year they had to be proactive and enter so they could plan their plantings to coincide with finals judging, traditionally the second Sunday in February. With many new homes opting for gardens that were largely planted with natives, Mr Bennett said he anticipated the new section would be well supported. Many more traditional gardens, however, had large native sections or had used natives as part of their garden and that could also qualify them for that section, he said.

Methven’s Equus Park subdivision in sleep mode By Susan Sandys The 104-section Equus Park subdivision in Methven is in a “sleeping” position and may not go ahead for a few more years. As the 110-section Camrose Estates across the road has houses already built and occupied, no sections in Equus Park have sold. Equus Park is owned by the Methven Trotting Club, which received its required rezoning and development consents in 2010, ahead of Camrose which received its consents later the same year. The club deemed at the time it would not go ahead with infra-
Mark Lemon
structure development until after it had sold a set number of sections from the 18-section stage one. Club property development subcommittee chairperson Mark Lemon said there had been “sporadic” interest since then, but not enough for the club to proceed with development. The launching of the project had coincided with the global financial crisis, and today it was continuing with a “cautious” approach. It was a voluntary organisation, unlike Camrose Estates which could afford to go ahead with development without selling a set
number of sections first. “We have all our consents and we are ready to go, all we haven’t done is press the go button,” Mr Lemon said. “It’s certainly not dead, it’s just sleeping.” In the New Year the club planned to refresh its costs of construction. Engineers Davis Ogilvie in Christchurch had last costed out infrastructure in 2009, and it was expected the increase for development today would be “substantive”. The club will revisit its stages and costs, and may look at rejigging the subdivision stages with sections from different areas
moved into stage one. Camrose Estates development manager Andrew Mason said Camrose had been successful in comparison as it had the cash to undertake infrastructure improvements as required. Currently it was upgrading a water line in Forest Drive so there would be high enough water pressure at Camrose, and this was costing hundreds of thousands of dollars. “We had the cash to do that,” he said. And buyers had been enticed by the fact they would receive their sections straight away, and would not have to wait for two to three
years or longer to receive them. The second half of the 34-section stage one was currently being developed. Methven real estate agent Margaret Feiss, at Ray White, said the location of Equus’s sections in the town was popular with locals. “When the subdivision is ready to go, it will be a wonderful asset for the town, there will be a lot of people lining up to get sections,” she said. Camrose was developing “nicely”, and real estate sales in the town were “ticking along well” with a “small increase” in prices over the past year.

A lot riding on the Hobbit T
he premiere of the Hobbit today is far more than the release of a new movie. It may be Sir Peter Jackson’s baby, but in a way it feels the entire nation has given birth to this drawnout project. Dramas and controversy have surrounded this movie virtually from the day it was pitched to Warner Brothers studio to cash in on the world-wide success of the Lord of the Rings. That trilogy engulfed the country in national pride as we could see our own backyard, including the Mid Canterbury foothills, feature on the big screens across the globe. The spin-offs for the district and the rest of the country were enormous as the Lord of the Rings craze put 150 New Zealand locations on the map for a whole new generation. Hundreds of operators around the country still make a living from tourists seeking to explore those places. The movie also turned Peter Jackson into Hollywood royalty and put New Zealand on the map as a destination for filmmakers from around the world. The tourism benefits over the past decade are hard to pinpoint but are believed to be in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Sir Peter virtually singlehandedly created a new industry in this country and representatives from Hollywood studios became frequent flyers from LA to Auckland. Successive governments bent over backwards to accommodate these businesses, but that relationship came under intense scrutiny when New Zealand actors protested against special visas for overseas actors.

YOUR VIEW Airport designation The letter to the editor on Monday, November 26 from Douglas Fraser is incorrect in the assertions made and risks misleading the community. The letter unfairly singles out Councillor Robin Kilworth as being responsible for the action taken by the council. This is not correct. The application for a notice of requirement for the airport was made by council as a requiring authority under the provisions of the Resource Management Act. This process was undertaken following a decision of the coun-
cil with the purpose of protecting the ability for future further development of Ashburton Airport. Councils are able to apply to have land designated for a particular purpose to ensure the reasonable future development of infrastructure can be planned for in ways that meet the needs of the community. The application for Airport Designation followed a lengthy planning and consultation process that started in 2004. Affected residents, including those named by Mr Fraser, were involved in the process from the outset. Council made a decision in
2011 to delegate consideration of all issues in which it may be seen to have a conflict of interest to an independent commissioner. Councillor Kilworth had nothing to do with the consideration of the Airport Designation or the recommendation of the commissioner. In this case the commissioner hearing the council’s application decided the application should be withdrawn. The requirements relating to airport proposals are understandably very high and reflect the impact this type of development can have. With respect to the consultation undertaken for the District
Plan review I fully support Councillor Kilworth’s observations that those who took part were satisfied with the process. Councillor Kilworth and the other members of the Review Committee have dedicated a huge part of the past five years to ensuring this has been undertaken in a fair and transparent way. The success of the review process has in no small part been due to Robin Kilworth’s experienced and knowledgeable hand guiding the review on behalf of the Council.

Sir Peter yesterday reaffirmed that the project was under genuine threat of being moved to Europe, but a controversial deal with Prime Minister John Key kept the studio bosses onside. The studios and Peter Jackson played hardball over this issue, but many local actors forgot about their colleagues who owe their jobs to these projects and marched through Wellington in support of the Hobbit. Critics of the government’s dealings with Hollywood claim their special treatment is not reflected in the benefits for the country, but they often look no further than the immediate employment around the movie. The motion picture will be on 25,000 screens around the country which creates a tourism campaign that money simply cannot buy. In recent days, detractors have attacked the treatment of the horses in the movies and even questioned the 100% Pure campaign attached to the movie, but these seem minor concerns in the bigger picture. Most days, New Zealand does not feature in any news outlet outside our region, but today, over a hundred journalists from around the world will report from the red carpet in Wellington on another new chapter in New Zealand movie history. It is the first instalment of the publicity payback and recognition of a tremendous achievement by a group of extremely talented New Zealanders.
Second Bridge As reported in the Guardian November 17, the ‘community feedback’, (as assessed by Opus consultants) showed only 12 per cent supported the council’s Chalmers Ave option, while a clear majority of 66 per cent were against Chalmers Ave, and/or supported other options. At the public meeting held at the Intermediate School, “serious concerns” were raised by the principals of the three schools, as to the future safety of the children and the elderly with the increase in heavy traffic and the community severance created if the Chalmers Ave option were to proceed. With ongoing council meetings behind closed doors, one can only hope that common sense will prevail and that after the recent events our elected council will now listen to the community and ratepayers. Following positive feedback council recently approved spending of $500,000 to make the Allenton shopping centre a “much safer environment” for children and shoppers. Again one can only hope that the “same consideration” be applied to the Netherby shopping centre for the future safety of the children and residents of Netherby and Hampstead. D. Saunders

No to fracking ban
We'll help with great
By Lawrence Gullery Fracking could contaminate underground aquifers, like the one under the Heretaunga Plains, but a report into the controversial oil and gas drilling technique found no reason to put a moratorium on the practice in New Zealand. Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment Dr Jan Wright released her interim report into fracking yesterday, a study that she began in March. “My interim conclusion echoes a similar report on fracking by UK Royal Society and some might say it’s giving a tick of approval for fracking, but that was not the case and it is certainly not what I am doing today.” In a media conference, she said she could not be confident best practices were “actually being implemented and enforced in this country” when it came to fracking. But the risk to health and safety could be “managed effectively”. “And that is going to be the focus of the second part of my investigation.” Dr Wright said her study showed fracking had been used in Taranaki for 23 years, but it could not be seen as a gauge to show how safe the method was for plans to explore gas and oil in Hawke’s Bay. “Taranaki is using fracking in tight sand areas, whereas on the East Coast fracking may be used in shale, so it’s a different kind of fracking that would be used. “Hawke’s Bay, Gisborne and Wairarapa differ from Taranaki. They have different geology, rocks on the East Coast are folded, it has different hydrology. The East Coast is also drier and therefore uses its aquifers more. It also has more seismic activity.” The potential for aquifers to be contaminated as a result of fracking was “very real”. The salty water from deep

Any 2 for The call for a ban on fracking has been rejected. underground, brought to the surface via fracking, could contaminate ground water, Dr Wright said. Protecting Hawke’s Bay’s environment should be paramount when it came to oil and gas production. “An oil company supposedly said the East Coast could become the Texas of the south, but I think that would not gladden the hearts of New Zealanders.” She showed a photo of oil and gas plants in Wyoming, US, where the industry had operated for more than 127 years. “I hope there is no possibility of Hawke’s Bay ending up like this and we want to make sure it doesn’t.” Dr Wright said oil companies had failed to win over the public when it came to explaining the pros and cons of fracking. “We talk about having a social licence, it’s about earning the public trust. It has not been earned and the concern about
fracking is widespread, not just in New Zealand. Full disclosure of fracking fluids might go some way to earn that public trust.” Hawke’s Bay Regional Council requested a study into fracking in March after interest in the region from companies such as Tag Oil. The Green Party went further asking for a moratorium on fracking while the study was in progress. “I am not calling for a moratorium at this stage,” Dr Wright said. “That is a big thing to do. The industry is big business and employs lots of people here. “But I am an environmental commissioner so the environment must be my primary concern. I have not seen anything that is of urgent concern. However ... if I find things that are sufficiently worrying, I will not hesitate to call for a moratorium.” - APNZ

Howard Mahere is preparing to open Unlimited Potential life coaching in The Triangle. His oldest child is undertaking accounting studies at Lincoln, his middle child is at Hagley Music College and his youngest is at Ashburton Borough School. It sounds like Mr Mahere has received plenty of grounding in life coaching through being a father to his three children.
He said he had enjoyed inspiring them through messages and poems he wrote for them in their growing years, something he had not received when he was young. His own father had been negative to him and told him he would never make it in life. “So I decided to do the opposite,” he said.

Ashburton’s Howard Mahere will open a life coaching business at the rear of his lolly shop in the Triangle next month. The dad-of-three, originally from Zimbabwe, laughed off suggestions the two businesses on the same premises were a bizarre combination, and he could in fact see marketing potential in it. “Sweet life, sweet success. I want your life to be sweet, you can experience sweet success because of my programmes,” he said. Mr Mahere has a qualification in life coaching and has already started helping people at the site. He said a mother with her 15-year-old came to see him the other day, to try and find ways to encourage her daughter back to school. And others had sought help with budget advice. Mr Mahere was more than qualified to help out in this regard, with his background being in accounting. He was an internal auditor for 15 years in Zimbabwe for a mining company, before leaving to start his own money lending business in 2004. He branched out into a financial services business where he was giving financial advice, and diversified his office to offer photocopying and associated services. Mr Mahere immigrated here four years ago, following his wife, a nurse who was now undertaking a degree in the profession, who was enticed by the name of the rest home Rosebank. “She fell in love with the name,” he said. It was the nice sound of that one word which set up the family for a future in Ashburton. Mr Mahere opened Lolly Mania in The Triangle one year ago, and will open the life coaching business, to be named Unlimited Potential, on December 3. “My passion has always been to talk to people to motivate them so their lives can become better,” he said.

Shirtcliff’s engineering degree revoked By Kurt Bayer The convicted fraudster who oversaw the construction of Christchurch’s deadly CTV building has had his engineering degree revoked after a university investigation. Gerald Morton Shirtcliff, aka William Anthony Fisher, has been accused of stealing the identity of a British engineer and faking his engineering degree. Shirtcliff, now living in Brisbane, is also being investigated by New Zealand police over the claims and has had his lucrative contract with global engineering consultancy WorleyParsons torn up. Last month, an internal probe by professional engineering body Engineers Australia found that 67-year-old Shirtcliff falsely assumed the identity, including a University of Sheffield engineering degree, of former colleague William Anthony Fisher. It was alleged the degree gave him entry to a masters programme at the University of New South Wales in 1971, which led to his getting a master of engineering science in highway engineering. APNZ has now learned that the Australian university has upheld the claims and stripped the controversial figure of his degree. “The University of New South Wales (UNSW) investigation into allegations raised against Gerald Shirtcliff has been completed,” a
spokeswoman said. “UNSW has notified Mr Gerald Shirtcliff, otherwise known as William Fisher, that it has revoked the degree of Master of Engineering Science in Highway Engineering awarded to William Fisher on 17 April 1974.” Engineers Australia has also cancelled Shirtcliff’s membership. Shirtcliff first hit the headlines this year when he initially refused to give evidence at the royal commission of inquiry into the collapse of the six-storey CTV building, killing 115 people, in the February 2011 Christchurch earthquake. He finally fronted up after it emerged he was a convicted fraudster, having been jailed in 2005 for a GST fraud in which he falsified the books of a failing business he sold to a Queenstown couple. During the hearing, he was accused by commission lawyers of distancing himself from responsibility after he claimed limited involvement in its construction, despite being construction manager on the project. He told the hearing he was a graduate civil engineer. Asked why he lived in Australia under the Fisher identity, he said it was because of “family issues” going back 40 years. The New Zealand Police probe continues. Shirtcliff has continually denied any wrongdoing, mainly through his Brisbane lawyer David Tucker. - apnz
Tourist in court over deaths
Andrew extends winning ways By Sam Morton Andrew Scott is one of the best in the business when it comes to potato harvesting. The Pendarves potato farmer has returned from Auckland, after impressing the national judges and taking out runnerup in the Young Horticulturalist of the Year contest. Mr Scott was one of six finalists in the two-day event last week, demonstrating his knowledge of plants and produce with distinction. Following the achievement, Mr Scott took out top spot for his pre-prepared marketing innovation project involving processing undersized potatoes into dried potato flakes – beating the country’s top young horticulturalist Braden Crosby, of Wairarapa. “I was pumped,” Mr Scott said. “They had read out all the other names and allocated placings and my name was the only one they hadn’t called out, so it was amazing to know I had won it. “I want to keep learning new business skills and develop my project here in Mid Canterbury,” he said. For his efforts, Mr Scott has been awarded a place on Grow Mid Canterbury’s High Achievers course, which will run for three days. Mr Scott, 29, is the operations manager at Hewsons Farms, and he has high aspirations. He grows 20,000 tonnes of process potatoes and onions, as well as vegetable seed and arable crops, on 1800 hectares. He won the young grower award earlier this year and debuted at the national event. Mr Scott is also developing a 100ha arable block of his own near Rakaia.

Trade deficit expands as dairy exports fall New Zealand chalked up its third monthly trade deficit in October, repeating last year’s pattern, as shipments of dairy products fell and imports rose. The deficit was $718 million last month from a revised gap of $775 million a month earlier, according to Statistics New Zealand. The annual deficit widened to $1.37 billion from a deficit of $880 million in the 12 months through September. Exports in the month were valued at $3.46 billion, up from $3.3 billion in September, though down from $3.89 billion in October 2011. Shipments of dairy products dropped 20.2 percent to $813 million in the latest month from a year earlier, while meat exports fell 6.6 percent to $277 million. Log exports grew 5.1 percent to $294 million and exports of crude oil tumbled 27 percent to $132 million. Imports grew to $4.18 billion in October from $4.08 billion in September
and were up from $4.11 billion in October 2011. Imports of petroleum and related products rose 0.7 percent to $636 million last month from a year earlier. Imports of mechanical machinery fell 3.5 percent to $497 million while imports of vehicles and parts gained 4.5 percent to $454 million. Electrical machinery imports rose 11 percent to $412 million. China was the biggest source of imports last month, rising 10.5 percent to $731 million, followed by goods from Australia, which fell 4 percent to $626 million. The US was in third place, falling 3.1 percent to $369 million. Australia remained the biggest market for New Zealand products, with shipments falling 4.6 percent to $912 million, while those from secondranked China fell 6.4 percent to $456 million, and from the US declined 8.7 percent to $281 million. – APNZ

A 20-year-old Chinese woman was granted bail after appearing in the Alexandra District Court yesterday to face two counts of careless driving causing death, following a double fatality in the Lindis Pass on Monday. The woman had been receiving medical treatment following the crash but was discharged from hospital before her court appearance. She appeared before the court registrar, was granted interim name suppression and remanded to reappear in court next month. The names of the two motorcyclists killed in the crash were released by police yesterday. They were Grant John Roberts (43), of Timaru, and Dennis Michael Pederson (54), of Tauranga. Timaru police confirmed both men were involved in motorcycle gangs. Mr Roberts was a member of the Road Knights and Mr Pederson was affiliated to the Filthy Few. A 26-year-old Timaru woman, who was a pillion passenger, remained in intensive care in Dunedin Hospital last night in a serious condition. She was airlifted to Dunedin with serious injuries following the crash and her name has not been released by police. Central Otago police sub-area commander Senior Sergeant Ian Kerrisk said police had a “clear picture of what occurred,” but declined to give any further details as the matter was now before the court, except to say that alcohol was not believed to be a factor. Police were asking the public for information about the movements of a dark-coloured Nissan Pulsar with a single female occupant, travelling south from Omarama towards Cromwell between midday and 2.15 on Monday. “We believe that this vehicle was following a white station wagon a short time before the crash happened. We would like the driver of that white station wagon to contact police,” Snr Sgt Kerrisk said. Any witnesses who saw a group of 8 to 10 motorcyclists on HarleyDavidson motorcycles travelling from Cromwell towards Omarama around the same time on Monday, were also asked to contact police. -APNZ
Fulton Hogan has got Overseas Investment Office approval to sell forestry estates in Otago as it looks to flog off non-core assets in a bid to strengthen its balance sheet. The Christchurch-based company sold 3013 hectares of forestry land to Forestry Fund 9 NZ, a subsidiary of global investment manager GMO, after completing a sale and purchase agreement in June. The OIO granted approval on October 18 for an undisclosed sum, according to a decision summary. Fulton Hogan told shareholders in its annual review the contract was completed after “a lengthy period of due diligence” and was conditional on OIO approval. That sign off and settlement of the purchase price
was expected in December. Managing director Nick Miller told BusinessDesk the company was selling non-core assets, including its forestry estate and some land blocks, to bolster its balance sheet and repay debt after buying out its partner in Victoria-based Road Pioneer Services and buying back 37 percent of shares held by Shell New Zealand. “We’ve done a review of non-core activities in Fulton Hogan, and in the report you will note that we have divested our forestry business, which we determined is not core,” Miller said. “We’re taking advantage of a strong market in that sector, and have concluded a sale.” The privately-held construction firm is also selling land that it has built up over the past 80 years, which will also go toward strengthening its books. – APNZ
Receivers and their legal counsel for Ross Asset Management discounted their charges but still couldn’t extract their full fees from the liquid assets left in David Ross’s group of investment companies, the High Court has been told. The Financial Markets Authority got High Court approval on November 6 to appoint John Fisk and David Bridgman of PwC as receivers and managers, with the assistance of brokerage First NZ Capital after complaints from investors about non-payments. Their work identified only $11 million of the purported $449.6 million of investments managed by Ross. PwC, law firm Bell Gully and First NZ Capital outlined their schedule of charges in a High Court hearing on Monday where they sought assurance that they could sell property of the Ross Group to recover their fees. The schedule shows that between
November 4 and 12, PwC charged out 40.8 hours of a partner’s time at $450 an hour for a total of $18,360 and 90.3 hours of a PwC director’s time at $400/hour, or $36,120. In addition there was 4.8 hours of an associate director’s time at $350/ hour, nine hours for a manager at $300/hour, 50.5 hours of a senior associate’s time at $220/hour and 25.7 hours of support services charged out at $110/hour. Bell Gully racked up 27.5 hours of partner fees at $490 an hour, 41 hours for a senior associate at $350/hour, 1.5 hours for a solicitor at $295/hour and 34 hours for a law clerk at $148/hour. While that adds up to about $33,000 the law firm’s overall fee was reduced to $24,625, the schedule shows. First NZ Capital didn’t break down its charges, which totalled $9400 plus costs of $565. Total costs were $153,683 including rent of Ross Asset’s offices,
travel and accommodation for the receivers and other incidental costs related to the assessment of the group’s records. The FMA wrote to Bruce Tichbon, convener of a group of more than 50 per cent of the investors in the Ross Group, assuring him that the receivers had been asked to approach the case “in a cost effective way”. “All parties are cognisant of the costs impacting on investors’ interests,” the FMA’s head of enforcement Belinda Moffat wrote. PwC is expected to apply to liquidate the group of companies later this week though Tichbon asked the High Court on Monday to put the liquidation out to tender. Moffat said in her letter that such a tender process could delay realisation of the assets and give rise to further costs. In deciding on a liquidator, cost was only one of the factors the court took into account. – APNZ

Syria rebels shut down aid access Syrian rebels have virtually cut off roads to Aleppo from neighbouring Raqa province, severing regime supply lines, as France announced it had earmarked financial aid for the opposition coalition. The Red Cross called on both sides to respect international humanitarian law a day after an aerial bombing killed 10 children, and the UN Palestinian refugee agency asked for more funds to cope with the crisis.
After days of fighting, the insurgents took full control of Tishrin dam on the Euphrates river, a route that connects the northern provinces of Aleppo and Raqa, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. A resident of nearby Manbij confirmed the report, adding that employees of the hydropower dam were continuing operations. “The capture of the Tishrin dam is very important. It means that the army basically has only one
road left to Aleppo,” Observatory director Rami Abdel Rahman said. “The highway crossing over the Tishrin dam was the last main route from Raqa province under regime control,” he said. With the overnight capture, the rebels now hold sway over a wide expanse of territory between the two provinces bordering Turkey, which backs the revolt against President Bashar al-Assad. The army must now rely on
the Damascus-Aleppo highway to bring reinforcements to Syria’s embattled commercial hub of Aleppo, where fighting is deadlocked. Rebels also gained full control of Marj al-Sultan air base 15km east of Damascus after seizing a large part of the airport on Monday, said the Observatory. Further west, a warplane launched three bombs or rockets at a rebel command centre in Atme near the Turkish border
without causing casualties or hitting its target, an AFP journalist said. The village, a nerve centre of the rebellion 2km from Turkey, was once home to 7000 inhabitants who have mostly fled. In a sign of growing confidence, rebel officers have formed a commission to lay the groundwork for a future army and liaise with the political opposition on issues such as arming fighters on the ground, a spokesman said.
He said the Free Officers Assembly would seek “to lay the correct foundations for the construction of the new Syrian army, which will be non-partisan”, working with the newly formed opposition National Coalition. France said it had allocated 1.2 million euros ($A1.5 million) in emergency aid for the coalition, as Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev slammed Paris’ support of the rebels as “unacceptable”. – AFP
sexual exploitation. The amended law would also ban procuring animals for sex with humans, Goldmann said. The group Zoophiles for Ethical Treatment of Animals plans to take legal action against the amendment, its chairman, Michael Kiok, was quoted as telling the newspaper. “Perceptions of morality have no place in law, especially if they are so hypocritical,” said Kiok, who told the paper he lives with Cessie, an eight-year-old female dog. The ZETA website says zoophiles only have sex with animals if they are sure it is consensual and that they condemn hurting animals, a practice known as “zoosadism”. – DPA
Bieber booed by Toronto football fans Justin Bieber has had a hostile homecoming during his halftime performance at Canada’s football Grey Cup, facing boos and jeers. The Toronto crowd booed when the 18-year-old pop star’s face popped up on the JumboTron screen. They booed when a host spoke his name. And they booed as he took the stage and throughout his medley of the chart-topper Boyfriend and the disco-inflected Beauty and a Beat. If Bieber was bothered, it didn’t show. “Thank you so much Canada,” Bieber said. “I love you.” Earlier in the week, Bieber was presented with a Diamond Jubilee Medal by Prime Minister Stephen Harper and caused a scene by wearing overalls, unbuttoned on one shoulder, over a
white T-shirt, with a backwards baseball cap. There was sufficient uproar that Harper even weighed in on Twitter. “In fairness to (Bieber),” Harper tweeted, “I told him I would be wearing my overalls too.” The Canadian Football League may have been hoping to court Bieber’s army of tween followers. But recent Grey Cup half-time performers have skewed toward the comparatively heavy likes of Nickelback and Lenny Kravitz. “J-Biebs doesn’t scream football, you know? Neither does Carly Rae Jepsen,” said Calgary’s Ryan Prisque, 22. The 27-year-old Jepsen also received a mixed reaction at first but won the crowd over during an enthusiastic medley of her latest single, This Kiss, and her infectious hit Call Me Maybe. – AP

EU farmers protest against low milk prices Thousands of dairy farmers yesterday protested low prices for their product, choking traffic into the Belgian capital with hundreds of tractors and spraying European Union headquarters and police with milk. Farmers from several EU nations demanded higher prices for milk, which is often being sold at below production costs because of a drop in international demand and increased competition. They want milk prices to be managed so the farmers
become less dependent on short-term market movements. “Politics are really killing us. It has to change very quickly at the European level,” said Belgian farmer Julien Husquet. “The way it is going we are in big trouble.” The farmers are seeking an increase of up to 25 per cent in their prices to cover costs, based on current conditions. The EU is preparing an overhaul of its Common Agricultural Policy which has often strictly set production and pricing conditions in the past. The bloc

more and preserves the investments we need to grow the economy”, the spokesman said. “This is an important moment not just to avoid the fiscal cliff but to lay the groundwork for an economy that will support a healthy middle class, restore economic certainty and lead to long-term job growth,” he said. Obama’s Council of Economic Advisers said in the report that US consumers could spend almost $US200 billion less than they otherwise would have in 2013 just because of higher taxes. “American consumers are the bedrock of our economy, driving more than two-thirds of the overall rise in real GDP over 13 consecutive quarters of economic recovery since the middle of 2009,” Carney said. “And as we approach the holiday season, which accounts for close to one-fifth of industry sales, retailers can’t afford the threat of tax increases on middle-class families.” – AFP
Fourteen people have perished and several more are injured after a fire swept through a workshop for disabled people in the Black Forest region of Germany, authorities say. About 300 firefighters backed by helicopters battled the blaze in the town of Titisee-Neustadt in southwestern Germany for more than two hours yesterday, as some wearing breathing apparatus pulled several people from the stricken building. The cause of the fire was not immediately known but there was a large police presence at the site. At least one explosion was believed to have taken place in a storage room. It was still unclear whether chemicals were stored in the room, but the workshop’s activities included the treatment of wood. Pictures showed smoke billowing out of the three-storey concrete
hopes to let the market become a bigger player in the future while assuring that farmers can still have a steady income. When the EU was confronted with surpluses in the 1980s, it introduced quotas, above which special levies had to be paid, to contain the milk production. Now, it is steadily loosening the system to prepare for further liberalisation in 2015. But with larger amounts of milk that can be produced, the glut can also lead to lower prices and bankruptcies. EU farm ministers will meet
building and firefighters helping the injured, some in wheelchairs, to helicopters and ambulances. “We can tell you that we have 14 dead. The process of identification is ongoing,” Karl-Heinz Schmid, a spokesman for police in the nearby city of Freiburg, told news channel N24. “We also have a large number of injured who have been taken to hospital.” Authorities told AFP that seven people had been seriously injured, revising up an earlier toll by one. Most had suffered injuries due to smoke inhalation, according to police. However, all seven were expected to survive, Focus magazine quoted police spokesman Alfred Oschwald as saying. Another police spokesman, Marco Troll, told AFP: “The building is empty. There are no further
tomorrow to discuss further reforms. “We have a European Parliament that hasn’t made a move in years. We want new laws that will give an insurance for our future,” said Roberto Cavaliere of the European Milk Board. To push their demands yesterday, the farmers sprayed the entry of the parliament with copious amounts of milk, including some police officials guarding the legislature. Despite some pushing and shoving with police, there were no major disturbances. – AP

dead.” A source close to Caritas, the Catholic Church welfare association that runs the workshop, said there were 50 or 60 people aged between 20 and 65 in the building when the blaze broke out. In total, the workshop employed some 120 people with disabilities. The source said the majority were mentally disabled workers who were manufacturing wooden decorations for Christmas as well as other electrical and metal goods. The building was relatively modern and fully respected the fire regulations, this source stressed. Psychological specialists were treating relatives of the victims at the scene. “We are dealing here with people who of course do not react rationally,” local news agency DPA quoted local fire chief Alexander Widmaier as saying. – AFP

in Washington were getting back to work at trying to stave off what has been described as a year-end “fiscal cliff”, a convergence of tax increases and massive spending cuts, including slashes to military spending, which some experts say could bring dire economic consequences – possibly sparking another crippling economic slowdown. Both Republicans and Democrats are well aware of the need for the US to get its fiscal house in order, as the nation tries to rein in a huge debt that has been growing bigger by the day and reduce deficit spending. President Barack Obama “has called on congress to take action and stop holding the middle class and our economy hostage over a disagreement on tax cuts for households with incomes over $US250,000 per year,” Carney said. Obama is urging a “$US4 trillion deficit reduction plan that asks the wealthy to pay a little

‘Fiscal cliff’ warning for congress The White House has urged the US Congress to help to avert a major fiscal crisis in a report highlighting how new tax increases and spending cuts could deal body blows to retailers and consumer spending. “The president believes Democrats and Republicans should come together to renew middle-class tax cuts so families and businesses have more certainty at this critical time for our economy,” White House spokesman Jay Carney said on the release of the report on the potential fallout if congress fails to reach a compromise. “If congress doesn’t act, middle-class families will see their income taxes go up on January 1,” Carney said on CyberMonday, a vital moment in the critical holiday shopping season. “The typical middle-class family will see their taxes go up by $US2200 ($A2113) next year, negatively impacting businesses and retailers across the nation.” Authorities
Schoolies revellers have had a lucky escape after a major fire broke out at a Gold Coast apartment building and spread to a nightclub. The fire broke out on a lower level of the Top of the Mark apartment complex early yesterday, and spread to a club on the same site, where school leavers were partying. A fire service spokesman told the ABC the blaze damaged three floors of the building, and authorities acted quickly to evacuate about 1000 people from the nightclub and others nearby. – AAP

Edward Archbold, 32, of West Palm Beach died as a result of “asphyxia due to choking and aspiration of gastric contents”, according to the report released by the Broward County medical examiner’s office.

Germany to ban sex with animals Germany plans to explicitly ban people from having sex with animals, the government announced, as a group of “zoophiles” threatened legal action.

The agriculture committee will discuss the amendment tomorrow. It will then send the measure to parliament by mid-December, according to the newspaper. The group Veterinarians against Zoophilia says thousands of Germans exchange information online about sex with animals and some farms rent out animals for

rom ageing and pollution to stress and fatigue, the effects of our lifestyles can display themselves on our faces before we even start to feel them. Luckily, there is no need to opt for surgery just yet. Here are our top five foods for a natural facelift.

ecember’s New Zealand Healthy Food magazine provides a host of great ideas for enjoying the festive season without packing on the kilos. The foodies on their team have come up with a long list of ideas for making the most of holiday food in a healthy way and have provided a range of recipes that will see home cooks through the summer when food is about creating great meals that don’t take hours in the kitchen.
Spinach, like many other dark green leafy vegetables, is rich in an antioxidant called lutein. Not only is this great for healthy eyes, but research shows it is also good for preventing wrinkles by helping to retain the skin’s moisture and elasticity, increasing lipid levels and preventing damage caused by free radicals. The benefits of spinach do not stop there, however, as the leafy vegetable also has the power to reduce dark circles under the eyes because of its high levels of vitamins K and C. Although there are many causes of dark circles – tiredness and hereditary, among others – poor circulation is also a factor. In cases where this is a problem, increasing your intake of vitamins K and C can alleviate them by helping to boost circulation and strengthening capillary walls.

OYSTERS Besides being a well-known aphrodisiac, oysters can also enhance your beauty. If you are suffering from pale, sallow skin or dark circles under your eyes, this may be because of vitamin B12 or iron deficiencies, both of which can cause anaemia. To beat pasty skin, try boosting your intake of these essential nutrients by stocking up on oysters, which have high levels of both. Other good sources include clams and mussels.

AVOCADOS Avocados often get bad press because of their high levels of fats, but the healthy fats in an avocado can do wonders for your skin. Packed with omega-3 fatty acids, avocados can help moisturise your skin from the inside and increase collagen production, helping to prevent wrinkles. The anti-inflammatory properties of avocado are also good for helping to reduce acne and psoriasis and the high levels of vitamin E will help to keep your skin supple and prevent premature ageing.
BANANAS Many people know fluid retention is the primary cause of bloating, but it can also be responsible for a puffy face and bags under the eyes. Fortunately, this can be treated by redressing the body’s sodium/potassium balance. As these two minerals work against each other to balance water in the body, too little potassium – or too much salt – is one of the most common causes of water retention. Redress this by increasing your intake of potassium through foods such as bananas, strawberries, melon and paw paw. For more lifestyle news see www.realbuzz.com

GEMINI (May 22nd Jun 21st) Who owns or contributes what can be the burning question today, especially in a close romantic context or for that matter, a business alliance. It may not be possible for each of you to invest exactly the same amounts of money but this isn’t about a quid pro quo balance, more about both sides feeling appreciated and fully respected. Hold onto the bigger picture.
CANCER (Jun 22nd - Jul 23rd) A clash of personalities is possible today when some very forceful vibes can work their way into all sorts of situations. Balancing your need to have your say with being able to let those you interact with have theirs may be challenging. As ever it’s about both sides being attuned to listening and trying to understand their respective situations.
LEO (Jul 24th - Aug 23rd) If you have any simmering frustration about the demands or expectations others have or put upon you, these can reach fever pitch. This is unlikely to be a good day for anyone to ask you for yet more effort or concessions unless it is completely fair. However, if there is any task or project you want to get completed, little will stop you.

TAURUS (Apr 21st May 21st) A point of principle may come up for discussion today. This could be over a drink with a friend, and you can agree to disagree. However, it is also possible that you will have some kind of conversation around a contract, service agreement or legal matter. This is not, quite frankly, a good time to have any contact with law enforcement agencies.
Garlic is a superfood that can have great skin benefits. As a natural antibiotic with bloodcleansing, immune-boosting, antibacterial properties, garlic is an effective, cheap and healthy way to help treat acne naturally. Although there are many reasons people suffer from spots, garlic – particularly when eaten raw and crushed – can help reduce future breakouts, while its anti-inflammatory properties can reduce the swelling and inflammation of acne.

Who do you talk to for the best marketing campaign to achieve your highest price?
VIRGO (Aug 24th Sep 23rd) You can be very selfsacrificing but today, if you feel you have done something that is praiseworthy, you can find yourself more in need of approval. If it is not forthcoming or goes to what you perceive as a less deserving cause, you could seethe with the injustice of it all. However, it is also important to let others enjoy some attention too.
LIBRA (Sep 24th Oct 23rd) It’s not like you to be defensive but you might find it harder than usual to control your emotions today. If someone makes the wrong kind of comment, as you see it, or is insensitive or too brusque, you might find yourself bristling with indignation. There is a danger with such an acute planetary influence at play that you may take yourself too seriously.
SCORPIO (Oct 24th - Nov 22nd) As your two guide planets sync up together you will be determined to have your voice heard. The problem is that the volume could also rise because your need to persuade others of your viewpoint will become almost a compulsion. You may also find you need to do something quite physically active. Indeed, this would be a good way of burning off any frustration.
verheard in a supermarket recently: “Can you please tell me where I can find the regulation rubbish bags?” In Ashburton we do not have an option as to what bags we can use for the weekly rubbish collection, making the said article a compulsory item on our shopping list. We all endeavour to aspire to zero waste, but there is always a certain amount that cannot be recycled and it has to go somewhere. Now I understand the supermarkets’ point of view, because nationally an Ashburton rubbish bag is not regarded as a topselling product to be placed in a prominent position on display. Local supermarkets will stock them as a service to the community. Now to get back to the original question which I researched on my last trip to the supermarket, where did I find the black bags labelled Asburton District Council Official Refuse Bag? On the bottom shelf beside the pet food. Admittedly it was next to the plastic bag section, but not easy to find especially as I do not have a pet and do not frequent that area. I have heard many older folk saying that they have difficulty reaching down to get the bag and

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23rd - Dec 21st) It can be an expensive time of the year but you may get the urge to splash out on something for you personally. If you have your own money you can do so with abandon, but if you are in a partnership your mindset may be to spend, spend, spend, despite what your other half thinks. This need for instant gratification can certainly knock harmony.

apparently it is a common place for them to be positioned. What became of the free-standing basket in one local supermarket that was easy to locate, maybe it was deemed a hazard. In my two years as a town dweller the cost of the five bags has risen two dollars up to $10. Needless to say I don’t put one out every week. Still, I am grateful that I do have a means of disposing of surplus rubbish, the collectors do a great job and I quite happily put mine out when necessary. It is getting near the end of the year and I am running out of ideas for comment, hence the lighthearted reflection on the refuse bags. It is time for us to wind down and prepare for the wonderful Christmas season so that we can enjoy the occasion with family and friends. The secret is to make it simple and not be swept up with the unnecessary hype that invades our lives.

“It’s why more people are choosing McGregors”
CAPRICORN (Dec 22nd - Jan 20th) You may not be someone with a particularly strong need to get your own way, not ordinarily anyway, but a very forceful planetary influence located in your sign can see you much more determined to do as you please. This may cause ructions, yet equally this can give you the spark to get energy into a project, plan or hope that is important to you.
AQUARIUS (Jan 21st - Feb 19th) We all have an emotional locker and much of the time many of us like to keep it firmly shut. But today, if you find that your mood is more volatile than usual or you find your emotions going up and down like a rollercoaster, it could be that something unresolved within yours needs picking over. Don’t hold back from doing so.
PISCES (Feb 20th Mar 20th) Sparks can fly between you and a friend. Perhaps in the past you have got along really well but if one of you always seems to make the decisions and this is not you, you may be minded to make a stand for what you want. If you are used to speaking frankly to one another this won’t impact much. If you are not, this could be a seminal moment.0

CLOSURE OF ROADS TO ORDINARY VEHICULAR TRAFFIC
Pollution of water races can result from-: •
the activities of stock in and around water races in particular cattle and deer. In these cases, it is recommended that the races are fenced off and defined “drinking bays� are established to allow access for drinking only and prevent damage to the race and the associated pollution; discharges (accidental or otherwise) from other activities on farm; i.e. irrigation runoff; ploughing, spraying; welling drilling etc. These activities may require special management to ensure that contaminated water does not enter the race network.
Please consider your property now and attend to any activities that have the potential to cause pollution. If you are asked by Ranger staff to address a pollution issue on your property, please attend to the request as soon as possible (within 2 hours). If not done so, this may result in an instant fine of $500 being issued.

Here are some tips to maximise your garden watering
• Water your garden once every few days rather than applying a small amount of water every day. Wetting the soil surface every day encourages roots to develop at the surface, making them more vulnerable in hot dry spells and encourages moss and disease.
Roads proposed to be closed and period of closure: • EAST STREET, from Havelock Street to Cameron Street from 7.00am to 6.00pm • EAST STREET from Havelock Street to Moore Street (including the Havelock/East St intersection) from 8.00am to 5.00pm • BURNETT STREET from East Street to 230 Burnett St from 8.00am to 5.00pm • TANCRED STREET from East Street to Cass Street from 8.00am to 5.00pm The proposed date of closure is • Wednesday 6 February 2013. Any person objecting to the proposal is called upon to lodge notice of their objection and grounds thereof in writing by 4.00 pm Friday 14 December 2012, at the office of the Ashburton District Council, 5 Baring Square West, Ashburton.

PLANT THIS, NOT THIS ROAD SAFETY CAMPAIGN!
• Aim to water early in the morning or late evening when winds are generally light and temperatures cool. • Target the plants or area you want to water. Position your sprinkler so that water does not land on the driveway, footpaths or patios.
• Control weeds to avoid competition for water. • It is wasteful to apply water faster than it can soak in. Water will either pond, run off and/or wash away soil on sloping ground, or leach out nutrients. If run-off occurs, stop watering immediately. To prevent run-off, water for several short periods instead of a single longer watering. • Using a simple timer to switch off the sprinkler is a good way to avoid over-watering the soil. Over-watering is not only wasteful, but also makes plants more susceptible to fungus diseases and will leach out soil nutrients. You can use the timer on your stove or an inexpensive kitchen timer to remind you when to turn the sprinkler off. Alternatively a variety of timers are available that fit between the tap and the hose to control watering times.
You may have heard through the grapevine about the “Plant This, Not This� intersection road safety campaign. This campaign is not designed to lead you down the garden path; it is aimed to encourage people to think about safety in their community, from the grass roots level. Don’t be a wallflower, join the bunch. Get your own “Plant This, Not This� sunflower seeds and see if you can beat the world record of 8.03M for the tallest sunflower! Pick up your seeds from Council reception or the public library!
• Covering exposed soil around plants with a suitable mulch, like straw and grass clippings will conserve the soils moisture. Mulches help protect roots from the drying effects of sun and wind, control weed growth, and help keep the soil cool and moist.
Visit Facebook.com/plant this not this or the road safety web page of the Ashburton District Council website for more details.
• Most important of all, do not lock yourself into a fixed watering schedule. Let the conditions and common sense be your guide and water only when necessary.

MOTORING

Toyota gets the right recipe What more could you want? Toyota (with Subaru’s assistance) have come up with a true-blue sports car. It has a great looking body, really inspiring chassis, traditional rear-wheel-drive layout, and an interesting, high revving, 2 litre “Boxer” engine. In short, a recipe for driving enjoyment! It looks just right, drives like a dream and the price won’t frighten your bank manager too much! Well perhaps it will just a little if you turn up to take him for a ride in an 86 complete with the optional “Aero package” which includes the rear “bling” wing as fitted to the test car! Which for most people will detract from the car’s otherwise delightful sleek looks with its low bonnet (a benefit of the flatfour engine), flowing roof-line
and neat rear. Size-wise the 86 is shorter than the Corolla hatch. They’re priced from just $41986 for the 86, 6-speed manual. The GT86 comes in at $46,986 for the manual and $47986 for the auto. The not-for-me Aero option adds $1600. The 86 comes with 16in alloys, halogen headlights, cloth trim, a competent, six-speaker, Bluetooth equipped sound system, leather-wrapped steering wheel, cruise control, trip computer, seven air-
bags and stability control. To which the GT86 adds, leather bolstered, alcantra-clad, heated front seats, LED daytime lights, alloy pedals, smart key with push button start, dualzone air-con, larger brakes and 17-inch alloy wheels with Michelin tyres. Neither have a rear wiper. Both cars have the same 2litre Subaru” Boxer” nonturbo engine, which Toyota have enhanced with a dual direct injection system. The result is
147kW which arrives at 7000rpm (just before the rev-limiter at 7500rpm) and 205Nm maximum torque between 6400 and 6600rpm. So this engine is built for and loves to rev at a slight touch of the accelerator! And while it is at its very best in the high octaves (50006000rpm), it still pulls well from 2000rpm onwards, meaning it is easy to drive around town. Where you mostly don’t get the benefit of the aural input of the system that as you boot it, it amplifies the engine induction sound
in the cabin. While sports car purists will probably choose the six-speed manual, the test car’s auto impressed and was fun to use. This very quick shifting six-speed auto is related to that of the Lexus IS-F. It has a Sport mode with torque-converter lock-up from lower speeds, as well as electronics that allow for a genuine manual shift mode, which again promotes the relay of appropriate engine sounds when changing down. There’s also handy shift paddles. Toyota say the manual reaches 100km/h in 7.6 seconds and the auto in 8.2 seconds. Top speed for both is 200km/h plus. Stated fuel economy is 7.8L/100km for the manual and 7.1L/100km for the auto. 9L/100km seems to be a more
likely everyday figure. Premium petrol is required. Despite that rear wing this car is definitely not a poser! It’s a proper driving machine whose great chassis set-up, light weight, really low centre of gravity, pretty much 50/50 front-rear weight distribution means very nimble and enthusiastic handling, tenacious road-holding and cornering prowess that you just can’t help smiling about! At which times you really appreciate the retentive capability of the low mounted, well bolstered, sports seats. Head room therein is fine and all the controls in the driver focused cabin are where they should be. Some of the dash is a bit Yarislike in places. Within the instrument cluster the white faced rev counter with a digital speed readout within

takes pride of place. It’s flanked by an analogue speedo as well. The ride, as one expects, given the car’s excellent dynamics, is sportingly firm, yet it proved sufficiently compliant and certainly never uncomfortable. On some surfaces and particularly before they warm up, the tyres can be noisy. There is also some wind noise at higher speeds. While at speed the electric power steering is quick, nicely weighted and informative, it is also fine around town. The shapely rear seats are unlikely to ever be sat in, except for very young infantry, for there’s no leg room! Probably best to fold them down to increase the boot space when needed. There’s a full size spare under the boot floor.
Finale
It has been a long time coming, but well worth the wait, for the shapely, agile and well priced 86 sports cars are genuinely impressive and frankly, fun to drive at any speed! (blast, I have to give it back!) With arrival of these (and the new Corolla), Toyota are certainly now on the way to shedding their image of producing staid cars.

Crouching Tiger not for the faint of heart You can have it in any colour as long as it is Tangerine orange. The latest Subaru WRX limited edition – the Crouching Tiger – is not for shrinking violets. With Tangerine orange paintwork, highlighted by a black STI boot spoiler and 17 inch black alloy wheels, this latest WRX limited edition sedan model – just 10 of them - makes a strong visual statement. Its quad cam 2.5 litre turbocharged “Boxer” motor has been re-tuned to produce 211 kWs, and has a with a five speed manual gearbox. Beneath there’s up-rated STI springs, lowering the car by 20mm and an STI front suspension strut brace and unique numbering for each car. A centrally positioned revcounter takes pride of place in the red back lit instruments, while there’s a 10 speaker sound system. On sale soon for $54,990.

4WD tyres designed by an American racing legend Mickey Thompson, the motor racing legend, holds more racing records than anyone on Earth. Now his revolutionary 4WD tyres allow you to become “part of the legend”.
The switch to offroad Then, in 1969, Mickey made the switch to offroad racing. Together, Mickey and business partner Gene McMannis built leading technology bias-belted offroad racing tyres that, in 1982 at the age of
53, helped Mickey set a new record time to win the one big race that had always eluded him, the most gruelling offroad race of them all, the Baja 1000. Hall of Fame In 1990, Mickey was inducted in to
the International Motorsports Hall of Fame for his contribution to motorsport as a racer and innovator. Today’s 4WD tyres The 4WD tyres available today feature many of the innovations that Mickey designed in his racing tyres. Today, 49 years later, Mickey Thompson’s serious offroad tread designs and carcass constructions continue to be a leader in tyre innovation.

inning races in record times was the driving force behind Mickey Thompson’s innovations in tyre design. His tyres helped him become the fastest man on earth by travelling at 406.6 mph (650.56 kph) and go on to set 485 speed and endurance records in many forms of motorsport, more than any man on earth. Tyres leading the way in Formula One racing today In 1963, Mickey’s revolutionary tyres created havoc. Most tyres running then used a narrow tread with a hard rubber compound. Mickey’s tyres were made from a soft compound three times the width with a lower profile giving more stability and a lower centre of gravity. This innovation made Mickey’s new cars so fast they were almost banned but paved the way for the tyres you see in Indy car and Formula One racing today.

League in doubt for Black Sticks By Michael Brown The chances of nine New Zealand hockey players featuring in January’s Hockey India League is looking increasingly unlikely after the timing of both the auction and tournament were moved again. Not only has the player auction been pushed back for a second time - it’s now scheduled for December 16 - but the tournament itself has also been moved to run from January 17-February 17 meaning it clashes with a Black Sticks camp at which attendance is compulsory. Dean Couzins, Shea McAleese, Simon Child, Phil Burrows, Steve Edwards, Andy Hayward, Nick Wilson, Hugo Inglis and Hamish McGregor were among 91 foreigners vying to be picked up by one of the six franchises for hockey’s equivalent of India’s Twenty20 cricket
• Hore fallout goes on The condemnation of All Blacks hooker Andrew Hore continued with Wales assistant coach Rob Howley calling Hore’s challenge on Bradley Davies as “an absolute disgrace”. Davies was taken to hospital after being struck in the second minute of the game by Hore, who was subsequently cited by match commissioner Mike Rafter and will face a disciplinary hearing this week. Howley is hoping for a lengthy ban. “What Hore did has got no place on a rugby field, as far as I am concerned,” Howley told reporters in Cardiff. “It was an absolute disgrace. He has been cited, and I am sure it won’t be taken too lightly. Situations and incidents like that have no place on the rugby field, and it had a huge impact on the game.” - AAP
Dutch players, who were due to be among a large number of foreigners up for auction, might be forced to withdraw. On top of that, Hockey New Zealand have scheduled a national training camp from February 5-12. Attendance is compulsory and new Black Sticks coach Colin Batch said he wasn’t prepared to change the date. “If players still want to play in it, and I’m not sure how many do now because of all this uncertainty, they will still have to come back for the camp,” Batch said. “We have put the camp there for a reason and the national programme comes first. I would want every player who is selected in the national squad to attend that camp because it’s an important phase in our yearly structure and it’s one of the few times we have all the national players together.” - APNZ
competition. Each team was due to comprise 24 players - 14 Indians and 10 foreigners. McAleese, however, was increasingly sceptical about whether he would be available to play because of national and club commitments and also wasn’t sure the league would even go ahead, despite being sanctioned by the International Hockey Federation. “Not so much,” he said he asked if he thought the league would happen. “Just because it’s changed three times already. You set your life up around a date and it changes on you. Now the dates have changed so I’m not sure how it will go.” McAleese has a two-year contract to play for HGC in the Dutch league, which is due to begin the week after the end of the Indian league. The 28-year-old has been in contact with hockey friends in the Netherlands and been told many
• Janowicz to play Open Jerzy Janowicz, the fairytale story of this year’s ATP Tour, will kick off his 2013 season in Auckland after signing on to play in the Heineken Open. The 2.03m Pole made headlines this month after upsetting some of the giants of the sport on his way to the final of the Paris Masters. The qualifier beat five top 20 players in succession, including Andy Murray and Janko Tipsarevic before falling to David Ferrer in the final. Janowicz may get a chance at a rematch against the Spaniard at the Heineken Open. Ferrer, a regular in Auckland, is the tournament’s top seed and will be trying to win his third - APNZ consecutive title.
Rep cricketers in top form By Myles Hume It was a strong weekend for Mid Canterbury representative cricket with three out of the four teams putting away stern opposition on Saturday. The Mid Canterbury Primary side defended a mere 103 after being bowled out by a spirited South Canterbury attack. With South Canterbury on track to beat the favourites at 85/5, an inspired effort from Mid Canterbury’s Gareth Hunt put Mid Canterbury on top, with five batsmen dismissed for four runs. The primary squad won by 24 runs. The Mid Canterbury under 15 side travelled to North Canterbury to meet Marlborough in a low scoring affair. The Mid Canterbury bowling attack made the most of the conditions after losing the toss, where they sent Marlborough back to the pavilion for 97 runs. The under 15 squad managed to weather the Marlborough bowlers, reaching their target of 98, thanks to a Kieran Hunt 47, to win by three wickets. The Mid Canterbury Year 7 team brushed aside an under-strength South Canterbury side at the Ashburton domain, bowling them out for 46. A strong bowling performance on a dodgy wicket set up the victory where they were able to chase down the total within 25 overs with only three wickets down, winning by seven wickets. However, it was not great news for all Mid Canterbury representative teams with the Year 6 team succumbing to the hands of old foes South Canterbury. The southern team batted first, posting a score of 178/8 in 40 overs, thanks to a top order 100-run partnership. Photo Kirsty Graham 251112-KG-209 Mid Canterbury came in to bat, Mid Canterbury Year 6 batsman Liam Reilly takes on the South Canterbury but only managed to string together bowlers at the Ashburton Domain on Saturday. 110 runs and losing by 68 runs.

Record books take a hit By Myles Hume A fleet-footed bunch of year eight boys from Ashburton Intermediate were able to muster a win among a host of strong performances at the Canterbury Intermediate Athletics Day yesterday. Ashburton Intermediate’s year eight boys relay team claimed the spoils in the relay final while up against 240 of Christchurch’s top youth athletes at the Ashburton Oval. Their performance was the strongest from the 40-strong intermediate team which also featured highly in the throwing events with a string of second and third placegetters.

Ashburton Intermediate sport co-ordinator Robyn Mears said it capped off a strong day for the school who were up against 11 other intermediates from the city. Three records were broken at the meet, with two in the high jump and a blitzing 800m effort. Cobham Intermediate’s Megan Eustate set a record in the year eight girl’s high jump with a 1.80m effort, Casebrook’s Renee Tauwhare jumped 1.36m for the year eight girl’s record while Heaton Intermediate’s Akeira Worthington ran a time of 2min 37sec to claim the fastest ever time in the 800m race. Primary Sports Canterbury sport director Lyn Miles, who has been running the event for the past 15
years, said Ashburton provided high quality facilities for the event which had to relocate from QEII, most notably the new high jump all-weather surface. “It’s absolutely brilliant and this year everyone is more sure about where to go and what do to,” Ms Miles said. She was impressed by the high calibre of competition, underlined by the three broken records on the day. “It’s looking really good out there, and the weather has helped as well, any hotter and it would be pretty hard out there.” Providing no alternative location is sought, the event is set to return next year.

New Zealand’s success at the London Olympic and Paralympic Games looks to be driving a surge of interest in those sports codes in this country. Sport New Zealand chief executive Peter Miskimmin said athletics, cycling, canoeing, rowing and yachting were among sports reporting an increase in numbers or membership enquiries in the aftermath of the London Games. New Zealand won 13 medals at London, including six golds. “We know that seeing our sporting heroes succeed on the world stage can motivate people, young and older, to give those sports a go and that’s what we’re seeing now,” he said. “We saw a surge in football interest after the 2010 World Cup and the same thing happened with Rugby in 2011. Now it’s London’s turn.” - APNZ
• Flintoff in the ring Former England cricket hero Andrew Flintoff has found himself on the back foot even before he throws his first punch for money in the boxing ring on Friday night. Freddie, as he is fondly known in Britain, is being filmed as part of a documentary series on Sky television, “Flintoff: From Lord’s To The Ring”, which culminates in his professional boxing debut against American Richard Dawson. For the past five months the 34-year-old Flintoff has been trained by former world featherweight champion Barry McGuigan and his son, Shane, as he gears up for four two-minute rounds. - AFP
• Becks misses best XI A-League target David Beckham missed out as LA Galaxy team-mates Landon Donovan and Robbie Keane were named in Major League Soccer’s 2012 Best XI yesterday. However Beckham, who is to quit the US league after trying to help the Galaxy to a second straight MLS Cup title on Saturday, was still a major discussion topic for MLS commissioner Don Garber, who was adamant the league would be just fine without him despite his undeniable drawing power. Garber noted that since the former England captain joined the Galaxy in 2007 the league has added seven teams and 10 purpose-built grounds. - AFP
• Milne’s finest hour An all-round effort from Adam Milne and a maiden first-class century to Tarun Nethula has put Central Districts on top against Otago after two days of their Plunket Shield encounter. Milne and Nethula eventually put on 133 for the eighth wicket, and propelled the home side to a whopping first-innings total of 476. Milne was the last man dismissed as he departed for 97 - in what would have been his maiden first-class hundred. To ease the frustration of just missing his century, Milne then proceeded to decimate the Otago top order as he had the visitors reeling at 22-3, and later completed his first five-wicket haul. Otago closed play at 232-9. - APNZ

been able to provide them with a scare with an early wicket or two. As New Zealand look ahead to their upcoming tour to South Africa, Southee’s ability to bowl decent spells will provide direction to the side who have a wildly inconsistent batting line-up. During the middle session of day three, Sri Lankan batsmen Thilan Samaraweera and Suraj Randiv looked to stop New Zealand’s momentum as they dug their feet in. At tea, Samaraweera had 48 next to his name, while Randiv had laboured his way to 14. Off-spinner Jeetan Patel took New Zealand’s only wicket of the stanza when he had Prasanna Jayawardene caught by Kane Williamson for 12. Earlier, the home side began day three at 43-3 in reply to New Zealand’s first-innings total of 412 and edged past 100 before Southee struck twice in quick time. Southee dislodged opener Tharanga Paranavitana for 40 when he was caught behind by Kruger van Wyk. Angelo Mathews was next to go for 47 as Martin Guptill produced a stunning one-handed catch in the slips to give Southee his fourth scalp of the innings. - APNZ
By Daniel Richardson Tim Southee’s continued good form is a positive sign for a struggling New Zealand cricket team who are in need of a few consistent performers. The seamer took another two wickets in the first session on day three of New Zealand’s second test against Sri Lanka in Colombo yesterday, which gave him four for the innings. Sri Lanka went to tea at 177-6, still 235 runs behind on the first innings, after New Zealand made 412 in their first dig. Since Southee’s debut for the national side as a 19-year-old in 2008 he has struggled for continued success and has spent times in and out of the side across the varying forms of the game. His career numbers have never threatened the world-class standards but in recent times he has looked a more complete bowler and has the ability to swing the ball. He took four wickets in the first innings of the first test last week and had he been fit enough to bowl during Sri Lanka’s short run chase to wrap up the test he may have

Today’s sports trivia question
Blackberry has the juice on rivals
He started life as Lew Alcindor, but it was under his Muslim name that he became one of the all-time basketball greats. He was?
Blackberry Lane, with trainer Philip Vermeulen in the sulky, held off all challengers in the run to the line in the Unqualified Pace, fifth race at the Ashburton Trotting Club’s workouts yesterday. Blackberry Lane eventually won by two lengths from Main Divide (Ben Waldron), with Amarissa (Stewart McEvoy) another half a length back in third. These three streeted the rest of the field, and Blackberry Lane covered the 2400 metres in a mile rate of 2-06.2, with the last 800 in 57.7 and the last 400 coming up in 28.0.

Ashleigh Leonard Allenton’s Ashleigh Leonard won her first Gala cup in the women’s A grade final on Saturday, crowning her as the top women’s player in the district. In an upset victory, she dethroned reigning champion Rebecca Robinson. The 15-year-old sat down to answer a few questions for the Guardian.
Do you have any pre-match rituals or any habits you do throughout the game? Ummm I don’t think so. What part of your game is your strength? I would have to say my speed, and movement around the
court plus my forehand. How often do you play or train for tennis a week? I have coaching for one and a half hours on a Monday, I play in the Christchurch challenger grade on a Friday, and I play Saturday tennis. I also have a hit with my dad once a week. If someone was at net, would you lob them or hit a passing shot? It would depend where on the court I was, probably a passing shot because I have being taught to aim for the big toe so they have to push the ball up. Who’s your favourite tennis
Send your caption to steve.d@theguardian.co.nz Best of the week will be published in Saturday’s Guardian
player? Roger Federer, because he stays calm under pressure and always plays his game, nobody else’s. He just inspires me so much. What’s the latest book you have read, favourite song, favourite movie? Last book: Rafa, My Story, not sure about my favourite song, and my favourite movie is Mr Bean. If you could only eat one thing, what would it be? Nachos. Yum. Down to your last $20, what would you spend it on? Buy my family fish and chips.
Today’s answers: Mystery person: With 32 test centuries to his name, Steve Waugh goes in the book as one of Australia’s greatest skippers, one renowned for digging his team out of the most difficult situations. Quote: Commentator Martin Tyler Trivia question: Kareem AbdulJabbar
You’ve come along in leaps and bounds this season, what’s changed from previous years? Nothing really, I guess I’m growing so I would be getting more power in my shots, and my footwork has increased a lot and I am told that I am moving really fast around the court.
Is the Lowry Cup your first big win on the greens? This is your first Gala Cup win, what were you expecting that going into the tournament? I hadn’t really thought about it, I guess I was a bit worried because I knew how good both Stacey (Hopwood) and Rebecca (Robinson) were. You came up against Rebecca Robinson in the final, how have the games usually gone between you two? I have only played her once before which was last year in the Gala Cup where she wiped me off the court.
