THE INDEPENDENT VOICE OF MID CANTERBURY

Bridge motion lost Mayor Angus McKay’s casting vote threw out the motion against the second bridge.

Bridge opponent councillor Alasdair Urquhart could not cast the decisive vote because of a possible conflict of interest.

Chaos in council chambers as mayor casts decisive vote

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

The Ashburton District Council chamber erupted with angry shouts from the public gallery yesterday when mayor Angus McKay’s casting vote killed any chance of stalling the district’s controversial second bridge project.

Councillors Ken Cutforth, Donna Favel, Russell Ellis, Peter Reveley and Alasdair Urquhart had made a bid to halt the project, presenting council with a notice of motion to have the decision to go to land designation for the project revoked.

Mr Urquhart immediately stood and withdrew from both the debate and from voting. He said he had sought legal advice and because he lived near the bridge route, he had a conflict of interest.

A clearly upset Mr Urquhart apologised to the people who had supported him during the election because he now couldn’t carry out his mandate.

“This is ridiculous…what’s the point of having a democratic election, now you lot won’t let him vote…” a member of the gallery shouted.

It was up to an individual coun-

“

This is a complete jack-up ...

– angry comment from gallery

cillor to decide whether he had a conflict of interest, and it’s up to them who they go to for advice, mayor Angus McKay said.

“This is a complete jack-up…” a man yelled.

Mr Cutforth presented the motion and said he had been consistent in his opposition to the

second bridge. It was a project for the New Zealand Transport Agency, not the ratepayers, he said.

The public’s attitude to the project was made very clear in the election results, with the three top polling urban councillors all against the project, Mr Cutforth said.

Councillors Cutforth, Favel, Ellis, Reveley, Martin Nordqvist and Stuart Wilson supported the motion to stall the project but councillors Don McLeod, Darryl Nelson, Neil Brown, Alan Totty, Rod Beavan and mayor Angus McKay did not.

Mr McKay had to break the deadlock with his casting vote and said the council had already begun the process towards land designation. It was a process he would not break; doing so would put the council in a bad light with the transport agency, he said.

“That’s typical; the process is more important than the outcome,” Mr Cutforth said.

A member of the public gallery had the final say – “You’re a disgrace to the chair Angus,” he yelled.

Prince rocks out with Bon Jovi

Britain’s Prince William has teamed up with US pop royalty Jon Bon Jovi and Taylor Swift to perform an impromptu version of Livin’ On A Prayer at his home, Kensington Palace. The trio belted out the Bon Jovi classic at the end of a gala event at the London palace in support of the homeless charity Centrepoint, of which 31-year-old William is patron. Bon Jovi began the performance alone with his guitar, but the second-in-line to the British throne and Grammy-winning pop diva Swift came on stage to join him, to huge cheers from the crowd. the prince made a decent attempt at the choruses but spent the more obscure verses nodding along with his hands awkwardly clasped in front of his dinner jacket.

Santa’s mailbox awaits Mid Canterbury children are writing to Santa the old-fashioned way at the Allenton Post Shop, where Santa’s mailbox is up again. Children have just over a week to get their letters to Santa with December 8 set as the last day for North Pole delivery services, to give Santa time to write a personalised reply before Christmas.

Letters can be dropped off at any New Zealand Post Shop, and letters can be written in Braille this year.

There is no charge for the service, but a stamp and return address need to be included on posted letters.

‘Fairy-tale’ dress fit for a princess

Letters to the Editor editor@theguardian.co.nz

A “fairy-tale” dress worn by Diana, Princess of Wales, will go on sale next week and could fetch up to £80,000 ($A142,900). Auctioned by the same auctioneer that sold the see-though dress once worn by the Duchess of Cambridge, the gown is described as one of the most ornate and romantic of all Diana’s dresses. Designed by the Emanuels – the creators of her wedding dress – the frock shimmers with gold sequins, crystals and pearl beads, and comes with matching headband, optional sleeve panels and petticoat. Diana first laid eyes on the dress at a Red Cross benefit fashion show in the summer of 1986, and, rather than having it specially commissioned from the designers, she acquired the standard size 10 dress from the show.

The auctioneer says it “fitted her perfectly”. – PA

■ ASHBURTON BRAWL

Retailers move to counter drunks

By Myles HuMe

Myles.h@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton retailers open 24 hours a day say drunken people always pose a risk, but steps are in place to keep them in check.

Their comments come in the wake of an alcohol-fuelled brawl involving more than 30 people on Sunday morning at the McDonald’s Ashburton and Harvey Norman car park.

McDonald’s Ashburton franchise owner Dave Whalley admitted such incidents were frustrating, but it would not deter him from staying open 24/7. He praised the work of a hired local security firm that was confronted with the fight for protecting his property, customers and staff.

The fastfood outlet is one of 103 restaurants operating 24/7 out of 162 New Zealand McDonald’s restaurants.

Some Ashburton service stations are open around the clock, while Burger King’s drive through opens for 24 hours on Friday and Saturday.

Mobil Ashburton owner Tyrone Burrowes said occasionally beer bottles were found around the back of the premises, but since taking over the store in September staff had not reported any major incidents.

A lot of retailers open 24/7 have already taken steps to counter drunks in the wee hours.

“I guess when you’re open 24/7 there’s always the potential for something to go wrong, it’s always in the back of your mind.”

Mr Burrowes said the business had a closed door policy from 11pm to 5am, which meant people could not enter the store, a move that protects staff from potential issues.

Z Energy Ashburton is also open 24/7, and is next door to the car park where the Sunday morning fight took place.

A spokesman said locked doors, security screens, CCTV cameras and a new DNA spray initiative helped reduce the risk of bad behaviour in the area.

“Drunk people on any site at any time is a problem; obviously this tends to occur in the evenings and weekends and it is a bit of a drag for our staff,” he said.

“But the vast majority of our customers around the clock are fine and get on well with staff.”

A McDonald’s New Zealand spokesperson said she was aware of anti-social behaviour late at night during the weekend at its outlets.

She said Mr Whalley had heavily invested in security, and those plans were constantly being monitored along with communicating with police and the community.

■ WILD WEATHER WARNING

More weather like this that occurred on September 10 is expected today.

Severe nor’west gales forecast More wild, windy weather is on the way, MetService is warning.

Severe nor’west gales are expected to hit inland Canterbury later today.

Heavy rain is expected ahead of a front in northern Fiordland and Westland late today and tomorrow, with spillover into the Canterbury headwaters, while

severe northwest gales are forecast for inland parts of Canterbury.

MetService has warned of winds up to 120km/h capable of damaging trees, powerlines and unsecured structures and of potential driving hazards.

Conditions should ease over the lower South Island over-

night and over the upper South Island and central New Zealand during Saturday.

In coastal parts of Canterbury conditions may approach warning thresholds.

People are advised to keep up to date with forecasts in case further warnings become necessary.

Without any trees currently to hand the traditional Hakatere Round Table fundraiser may be a non-event this year.

■ TREE SALES IN JEOPARDY

Urgent plea for trees By erin Tasker

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

Hakatere Round Table No. 78’s annual real Christmas tree selling fundraiser is in danger of not happening this year if they can’t find trees to sell by December 6.

Up until about three years ago, the Ashburton District Council donated trees to the Ashburton Round Table group to sell, but they’re now unable to source trees for them to cut down so the group has had to find them themselves.

In 2010 they were unable to find any locally and ended up buying some in, but as it’s a fundraiser with money raised going back into the community, they don’t want to have to do that again, president Bruce Gabites said.

“I would say it might not happen if we can’t get them. It seems a shame but it’s the way things are going,” Mr Gabites said.

They’re hoping that someone in the rural community might have some trees they’d be willing to donate. Members will go out and cut down the trees and transport them ready for sale.

They know that tree supplies may be dwindling due to a winter snow and summer wind storms which brought thousands of trees down around the district, but they’re

If so, then contact the Guardian on 03 307-7957 or erin.t@theguardian.co.nz and we’ll put you in touch.

hopeful someone may come to their rescue.

One person has already come forward to say they could have trees available, but Round Table members are yet to check them out to see if they’re suitable.

“The closer it is to town for us, the better, because some of us have to take time off work to go and cut them down,” Mr Gabites said.

Real Christmas trees were still as popular as ever, he said.

“It’s surprising how many people do want the real trees,” he said.

“And it’s surprising how many people pick ones that I wouldn’t pick myself.”

Ideally they’d like around 100 trees to sell.

If trees can be sourced they will be sold at the usual spots – the Ashburton Domain off Walnut Avenue, and on the side of Archibald Street in Tinwald – on December 14.

Councillor gutted by his exclusion from bridge vote

By Sue NewmaN

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Donna Favel “The notice of requirement was pushed through in great haste. It’s poor form to have a decision like this made just before an election.

The most effective way to proceed with this is to let NZTA pay.”

Peter Reveley “Traffic patterns will change with the new pool and stadium and traffic lights in Tinwald. It’s wrong to say we’ll waste money if we pull out now, that money is already wasted.

The consultants at the time have led you astray. I’m not sure how prudent all these big ticket items really are. There are a whole lot of things that need to be sorted out before we can say the bridge is in the right place. The people of Tinwald just want to be able to get out on the main road.”

An 11th hour challenge to his eligibility to vote on the controversial second bridge project has left Ashburton District councillor Alasdair Urquhart feeling he has let the public down.

He was one of five councillors who joined forces to prepare a notice of motion asking for an earlier council decision to put the Ashburton river second bridge project into the land designation phase, to be overturned.

On Wednesday night, just hours before the motion was to be voted on at an extraordinary council meeting, the rug was pulled from under Mr Urquhart’s feet when a suggestion was made from an unknown quarter, that he had a conflict of interest over the bridge project.

A stunned Mr Urquhart said he received an email from council chief executive Andrew Dalziel saying he had been alerted to the possible conflict and that he was obliged to pass this information on to Mr Urqhuart.

He is unsure where the original suggestion came from but said it hinted that if he chose to vote there could be repercussions, possible ‘threats’ of legal action, he said.

Mr Dalziel and Mr Urqhuart decided to seek legal advice and that advice was to err on the side of caution and withdraw from debate and vote casting.

“I hadn’t really thought I

I feel I’ve let the people who voted for me down extremely badly. If I’d had a vote it would have swung the outcome the other way

had (a conflict); I’d resigned from the Bridge Action Group months ago when I decided to stand for council, but I’m an upfront kind of guy who likes to see things done right.

“If there was a suggestion I had a conflict of interest, I wanted it to be out in the open,” he said.

Mr Urquhart’s property is not one of those in the path

“This bridge is a NZTA responsibility. I was part of the last council that railroaded through a lot of projects that were not in the community’s best interests. They were so arrogant. They believed they knew what was best. We were given reports at the last minute to read, lengthy reports and there was no time to read them. A social impact report was asked for on the effects on people on Chalmers Avenue. We never got it. The report we did get was flimsy and biased. The priority is a set of lights in Tinwald.”

“I’ve heard the arguments over the past three years and I’ve been consistency opposed to the route council accepted. I know Ashburton needs a second bridge – and NZTA does too. I live on the south side of the bridge; it’s not the bridge that’s the hold up it’s the McDonald’s corner and the blimmin’ railway. All the traffic polls have been done at 9am on a week day, of course the traffic shows as all local. No one does it on a holiday weekend. It’s unfortunate this has got as far as it has. I’ll definitely be voting against this route; it’s ludicrous.”

Martin Nordqvist “I have been consistently opposed to the second bridge route and I don’t believe we’ve had the NZTA input we should.”

“

Alasdair Urquhart

of the new road; it lies to the east of that route, but through his earlier association with the bridge action group there was a suggestion that he had formed an opinion about the project and would not have an open mind.

It was doubly gutting that in addition to not being able to vote he was also barred from speaking at the meeting.

“I had a lot of information I should have been able to share, a lot of information about the bridge that had been kept behind closed doors.

“I feel I’ve let the people who voted for me down extremely badly.

“If I’d had a vote it would have swung the outcome the other way and that would have tread on a few toes – outside council.”

While he was disappointed for everyone involved at the outcome of the meeting and his exclusion, Mr Urquhart said that was democracy and the outcome was one he had to accept.

“I do feel I’ve been a bit hard done by, I’ve let people down and it wasn’t my fault but I’ve done what was right. I’ve done what I had to do but we’ve not done what we were hoping to achieve.”

The bridge project was far from a done deal, however, he said.

“It would have been good to have had it stalled for a bit but now I urge people to get their submissions in; it’s not a lost cause by any count.”

Supporting the land designation process continuing . . .

ded over bridge Bridge decision a long, involved process

By Sue NewmaN

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

The process beat the people yesterday when Ashburton District Councillors voted on a motion to stall a project to build a second bridge across the Ashburton River.

In October councillors voted to lodge a notice of requirement for land designation associated with the second urban bridge that would involve Chalmers Avenue and a new route through rural land to the east of Tinwald.

Three councillors – Donna Favel, Ken Cutforth and Stuart Wilson voted against that motion, but the council had the numbers to proceed and a notice of requirement for land designation was publicly notified.

This was open for public submissions until January 17 and would then be heard by an independent commissioner.

Since then three of the bridge

supporters - John Leadley, Robin Kilworth and Jim Burgess - have retired from council and one, Jac Sparks, was not reelected.

Post-election, five councillors – Mrs Favel, Mr Cutforth and three newly elected to the job, Russell Ellis, Alasdair Urquhart and Peter Reveley decided the weight of public opinion was still against the project and presented council chief executive Andrew Dalziel with a notice of motion seeking to have the original motion revoked and the project put on hold.

More than 40 members of the public turned up to hear council debate the motion. They were fired up, regularly interjected and had mayor Angus McKay frequently calling for order.

One of the motion’s supporters Alasdair Urquhart was forced to withdraw from the meeting because of a conflict of interest and that riled several members of the gallery. He was

clearly unhappy and so were his supporters.

The notice of motion was “that the designation process for the Ashburton second urban bridge be put on hold until such time as the newly elected council re-considers the matter; and that this matter be considered at an extraordinary meeting of council.”

Councillors yesterday debated the motion to revoke the council decision to proceed to lodge the notice of requirement for land designation.

Seventy submissions have already been lodged on the land designation.

Mr Cutforth presented the motion and said he believed it had been rushed through by the council at the end of the last term and that councillors had not had sufficient time to read all the material presented.

“The number of people here today in the gallery is an indication of the concern in the com-

munity over this project,” he said.

A project of this size should not be “rail-roaded” through, Mr Cutforth said.

“It’s like a lot of projects that are not in this community’s best interests.

Some of the past councillors were so arrogant, they believed they knew best.”

Mayor Angus McKay threw his weight behind continuing with the designation process.

Pulling out would send a bad message to both the community and the New Zealand Transport Agency, he said.

When the votes were called six hands were raised supporting the motion to halt the bridge process and six (including Mr McKay) were raised to proceed.

Mr McKay was forced to use his casting vote, which he cast in support of continuing to press ahead with the designation process.

Angus McKay “I am not going to break this process. If we did it would send a signal to the people of the community that we can start a process and then pull out of it. I won’t have that pointed at this council . . . this would put council in a bad light.”

Rod Beavan “There’s a process to go through.

We’ve already spent around $1 million and it will be money dead in the water if this motion goes through. The crunch part is that the resolution doesn’t give me enough information – does it mean no second bridge, does it mean start again, does it mean there is another option?”

Neil Brown “The people I’ve spoken to in my ward believe this is the right site. I do believe it is an NZTA project and they can build it when they need it and at their cost. If this motion is lost then it will affect lights in Tinwald.”

“We don’t have our ducks in a row.

A councillor’s job and the job of council is to listen to people who take the trouble to share their opinions and concerns and then make a decision on behalf of the community. We are sworn in to make decisions in the best interests of the community; I believe we do both. It is the job of an independent commissioner to hear all the facts of this case and decide if council got it right or not.”

Don McLeod

Alan Totty

“The decision today is a defining moment for this council. Council has embarked on a democratic process and the commissioner will make a recommendation to the council. If we revoke the motion NZTA will see us as an unreliable partner and traffic lights in Tinwald could be a casualty of this. Many concerns expressed by the community have been met by mitigating measures. More than $800,000 has been spent on this and a lot of staff time. The second bridge project has been dogged by mis-information.

Everyone has an opinion on the bridge. This is a project for a local road, it’s a local bridge.”

Darryl Nelson “We started this process years ago and we’ve been in partnership with the transport agency ever since to find a way forward to the pinch points in town. If the second bridge is not put in the transport agency will put the Tinwald lights in when they wish, not when we wish.”

■ AORAKI ASHBURTON POLYTECH

In brief

Enrolments on par with last year

BY MYLES HUME

MYLES.H@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

The prospective number of students looking to study at the Aoraki Polytechnic Ashburton campus in 2014 is on par with last year, its acting chief says.

In October last year there had been 21 enrolments to study at the campus for 2013, which eventually led to about 250 students in total.

Its chief executive at the time Kay Nelson said the campus heavily relied on the community, but if enrolments were low it could impact on the courses it offered.

Current acting chief execu-

tive Alex Cabrera said he could not provide the Guardian with enrolment numbers this week because “there was no cut-off date for applications” with the likelihood of some starting courses during 2014.

“However, to give you an idea of approximate numbers and trends, expressions of interest in study are similar to the same time last year,” he said.

The Ashburton campus had a total of 250 students this year, but many were part time, equating to 69 full time equivalent students.

Mr Cabrera said there was also a free bus for Ashburton students who wanted to enrol

in courses only available at the Timaru campus.

“Timaru Campus also continues to be popular, with approximately 50 people registered for the northern bus this year. We also already have people registered for the bus next year,” he said.

Mr Cabrera said the polytechnic had been working on promotion initiatives and securing new courses to bolster student numbers.

It comes as the polytechnic revealed it was predicting 400 fewer full time equivalent students this year.

The polytechnic will adopt a new 2014 Government initia-

tive that will allow free Level 1 and 2 programmes for under 25 students. The Youth Guarantee Scheme will also be extended to 16 to 19-year-olds.

“Furthermore, 18 and 19-year-olds will be able to access course related costs and the living costs part of loans and allowances if they are eligible,” he said.

The Ashburton campus offers programmes in Agriculture and Farming Skills (in collaboration with Lincoln University), Beauty Skills, Business and Business Administration, Parenting and Care of Children, Life Skills and short courses throughout the year.

A south Auckland teenager fleeing from police choose the wrong fence to vault, and landed in the grounds of the local police station.

Papakura police were called to the local Countdown about 6.45pm on Wednesday night after reports that a group of youths were intimidating customers and washing windows

in the carpark. The group fled when police arrived and a 14-year-old boy tried to evade officers by climbing over a nearby fence on the edge of the carpark.

The fence he scaled surrounded the Papakura Police Station.

“Unsurprisingly, he was quickly apprehended,” said Area Commander Jim Sear-

le. Mr Searle said any attempts to evade police could be dangerous and could often lead to further trouble.

“But this situation would have to stand out as unusual in the way that this person was caught.”

The group of young people have been referred to Youth Aid. - APNZ

■ INVERCARGILL

Police target Road Knights A 78-year-old woman and 76-year-old man are among 17 people, most with connections to the Invercargill-based Road Knights motorcycle gang, charged after a police swoop on 14 properties yesterday.

Police arrested 10 men and seven women they said were key players in a crime ring during properties searches in Invercargill and Central Otago.

Some of those arrested were members of a “crime family” integral to the operation and structure of the Road Knights gang, Southern District Police organised crime squad head Detective Senior Sergeant Malcolm Inglis said at a media briefing in Invercargill yesterday.

“This is a family who appear to have a made a substantial living from the proceeds of illegal activities.”

Cash, drugs, houses and motorbikes were restrained under the Criminal Proceeds (Recovery) Act 2009.

Det Snr Sgt Inglis would not give the addresses of the properties, but said five were in Invercargill, one in Roxburgh and one at Moa Creek.

One was a property owned by an arrested person and rented out to tenants, he said.

The Road Knights’ headquarters in Balmoral Dr, South Invercargill, was not seized, he said.

Collectively, the properties and motorbikes were worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The properties and motorbikes are now owned by the official assignee and there will be civil court proceedings to decide whether they are retained by the Crown.

The arrests concluded a 10-month investigation called Operation Crimson, which targeted the Road Knights and their criminal activities, Det Snr Sgt Inglis said.

Eleven people appeared in the Invercargill District Court yesterday following the raids.

All were granted name suppression and bailed to reappear on January 28. They did not enter pleas.

Ten from Invercargill faced a raft of drug charges, while one man with a rural Southland address faced drugs charges and a firearms charge.

Several defendants were jointly charged with others in varying combinations.

Det Snr Sgt Inglis told the media briefing police still had to make a few more “mop up arrests”.

As well as the mop-up inves-

tigations were continuing into the theft of insulation batts from a Government-subsidised home insulation scheme in Invercargill.

The operation, run jointly by the Invercargill and Southern District Police organised crime squads, assisted by the police national asset recovery unit, “again highlighted the links between organised gangs and drug dealing”, he said.

As part of Operation Crimson, police and customs had in July and August intercepted 1kg of the drug Pentedrone, an analogue of Ecstasy, with a street value in excess of $125,000, he said.

A 29-year-old Dunedin man linked to the Road Knights and a 42-year-old man and 50-yearold woman, both from Balclutha, were arrested and charged in August.

■ PHILIPPINES TYPHOON RELIEF

A helping hand from Ashburton Rotarians Ashburton Rotarians have dug deep and come to the aid of the disaster-struck Philippines with a donation of five ShelterBoxes valued at $7500.

The ShelterBox is a comprehensive relief kit which includes a 10-man tent and supplies such as a stove, cooking utensils, tools and a range of survival equipment. Each box costs $1500.

Ashburton Rotary Club president Phil Godfrey and Ashburton Plains Rotary Club president Owen Moore said their members were very pleased to answer the call from Rotary District 9970 governor John Rickard, also from Ashburton, to donate towards the Philippines disaster relief in the wake of super typhoon Haiyan.

The Rotary District, which includes 33 clubs from the top of the South Island from Ashburton north and the West Coast, has to date donated 19 ShelterBoxes and $13,500 in cash. Mr Rickard said it was a fantastic response.

ShelterBox is a disaster relief charity which provides shelter and life-saving supplies to families affected or displaced

■ NEW CAAP CAMPAIGN

Before horsing around, plan a safe ride home

By GaBrielle Stuart gabrielle.s@theguardian.co.nz

Community Alcohol Action Project coordinators stepped back to the days of the Wild West for the 21st year of the holiday season campaign, which was launched yesterday with the message: Before horsing around, plan a safe ride home.

By working with local police and licensed premises in Mid Canterbury, the service aims to reduce drink driving in the district. This is achieved through a series of information campaigns, driver alcohol checks and rewards distributed for sober drivers.

Ashburton Community Alcohol and Drug Service general manager Chris Clark said the goal of the campaign was simply to get locals to take a moment

to think about a ride home before going out for the night. “Just five minutes is all that is needed to plan ahead and organise a ride before you get to the pub – rather than getting there and having to think, ‘oh, how are we going to get home’?”

She was one of the founders of the project, and said that she had seen some pretty memorable campaigns over the years.

Campaigns varied from a military “war on drink driving” theme to a “Don’t Drive Pickled” millennium bug theme.

She said that although they had fun over the years, the message hadn’t changed: Drive safe and plan ahead.

Several drink driving blitzes are already being planned around Mid Canterbury, where the team will work with police to catch drink drivers and provide rewards for sober ones.

Noel Stanger and Ammo demonstrated a bit of “horsing around” at this year’s Community Alcohol Action Project launch at the Blue Pub in Methven.

Grass clippings getting up resort owners’ noses

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Brinkley Resort owners Paul and Gayle Creswick are fed up with grass clippings from a nearby reserve causing a mess on their premises.

They have asked the Ashburton District Council to make sure their staff use catchers on the ride-on mowers when they

mow the Lochhead Crescent Reserve, to no avail.

“If it was just a little bit of grass I could cope with that, because that’s part of mowing a lawn, but this is unacceptable, and it’s too much grass being left there,” Mrs Creswick said.

Mrs Creswick said piles of grass left after mowing blew into the premises spa pool, restaurant, conference rooms

and other rooms. Additionally resort guests had to step over piles of grass when they walked across the reserve into town.

Mrs Creswick had complained to the council, which had told her it would cost too much ratepayer funds to have a catcher on all mowers.

She believed other reserves outside of Methven, such as the Ashburton Domain, always

looked fantastic, and catchers were probably used on mowers in that area.

She said Methven was a tourist town and as such it was important that it looked its best at all times.

Council parks and reserves spokesperson David Askin responded to Guardian queries via email. He said the Lochhead Crescent Reserve was “treated

the same as similar reserve areas around the district, catchers aren’t used for mowing”.

However, catchers were used on “the Cricket Oval at the Ashburton Domain, Baring Square and greens in Ashburton”.

“We do occasionally get strong spring growth where there may be an increase in clippings, which would be apparent in all reserves,” Mr Askin said.

BLTC’s summer school places filling up fast

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Places for Big Little Theatre Company’s (BLTC) annual summer school in January are filling up fast.

The school, to be held January 20 to 24, will feature guest tutors from outside of the district.

Director Jackie Heffernan said the knowledge and skills such tutors brought was huge.

“They work full time in the industry and often at the cutting edge of theatre across New Zealand. The enrichment is fantastic for our own company but also for other interested and committed young actors in the district,” Mrs Heffernan said.

The tutors include: Circus and physical theatre tutor Damara Sylvester, of Nelson-based and New Zea-

land-renowned Body n Space Theatre Company. Ms Sylvester has studied in various countries in a range of disciplines from African and North Indian dance forms, to gymnastics and West African drums and percussion.

A graduate of Total Theatre in Perth and the Western Australian Circus School, she is to train summer school students in physical theatre. Through a series of exercises and improvisations students “will be guided to get out of their head and into their body”.

The trio will join former Big

Little Theatre Company student Mel Buller, who is studying at Hagley Theatre Company in Christchurch, and longtime members Ruby and Teddie Jo Donaldson who will teach hip hop and street dance.

The summer school is for seven to 17-year-olds and is open to both BLTC members and non-members.

Tale of Two Bridges Coen Lammers EDITOR

I

f Charles Dickens were still alive he could write an Ashburton sequel to his famous novel Tale of Two Cities. The modern version would be the Tale of Two Bridges.

Yesterday’s debate on the second bridge at the Ashburton District Council meeting was like Ashburton’s own Groundhog Day, as the same old arguments were thrown around the council chambers.

The big difference this time was that the faces around the table have changed since the elections and that the anti-bridge lobby had gathered enough strength to force a notice of motion to put the project on hold.

Sadly for opponents, they fell one vote short to stop the actual process after Alasdair Urquhart was asked to restrain from voting on legal advice.

Mr Urquhart is said to have a conflict of interest, as he lives in the vicinity of second bridge route.

It may be legally correct, but it does not make democratic sense that someone who has campaigned against the bridge was unable to carry out the wishes of the thousands of voters who put him on the council.

Interestingly, the opponents seem to have two agendas, one group wants the New Zealand Transport Agency to pick up the bill instead of the ratepayers, while others just want the preferred route further east.

Building a bridge east of Tinwald may keep the locals happy but might be too far removed from the main traffic flow to be effective. It would become a white elephant if local traffic and passing trucks continued to use the old bridge.

Just about everyone agrees that the town needs a second bridge sooner rather than later, but nobody wants the route through their own backyard.

Yesterday’s controversial vote will no doubt fuel opposition and possibly trigger a legal challenge, but the town cannot afford the debate to go around in circles.

We need a decision and we need all parties to adhere to it.

It will be tough to swallow for many, but it is the price we pay for democracy.

Should they not be at home at that time so you don’t have to be ‘appalled’ at what happens to them, Mum? Don’t expect McDonald’s or the police to parent them for you. ***** Mum appalled by brawl: Take some parental responsibility.

What the hell is your 16-yearold kid doing out at 2.40am! *****

To the mother with the 16-year-old, glad you had him under control and tucked up in bed where he should have been, starts at home, with parents. ***** Brawl: Hear, hear Jayne!

Couldn’t have said it better! Especially after reading the mother’s account, page 2 in Thursday’s paper!

Are we losing the true meaning of Christmas?

Phill Hooper OFF THE AIR

A

re we losing true meaning of Christmas?

I came across a study that said Kiwis spend on average $252 per child on presents for Christmas.

At first I thought, that seems a bit excessive, but then stopped and thought about all those little gifts that one picks up during the year.

You know the ones; they’re up above that wardrobe. Add to those the late-minute stuff you see on the telly and just can’t resist.

Or you may have an online shopping addiction like friends of mine, the goodies you have grabbed from 1-day sales etc.

I wondered if we here in Mid Canterbury were “average” as far as our per child Chrissy spend goes.

Wow what a heap of wideranging answers I got! From $20 up to $450 per child.

Some didn’t have budgets at all and just bought the kids what they really wanted for Christmas. They wanted to see the kids’ faces light up Christmas morning when they unwrapped that special thing they had been asking for.

So, have we got too commercial at Christmas?

Have we lost the true meaning of Christmas?

At the end of the day, isn’t Christmas about FAMILY? As one person said to

Funny from Hoops in the Morning Facebook page.

me, the best thing you can spend on your kids this Christmas is time and they’ll never forget it.

Hmm, I know if I said to my two, there’s no pressies this year kids it’s all about us spending time together, there’d be a small riot.

Along those lines, Sandy responded on my Facebook page with this: “Why can’t people get back to the true meaning of Christmas .... being together as family...why is it all about presents ... after all Christmas isn’t what it used to be...every year from Santa we got a pair of shorty PJs, fruit lollies and a drink of fizz ... imagine the kids of today getting that, they would probably throw it at you”!

I think my friend Kiri summed things up nicely with this: “There is no set price or limit in our Christmas can be a time of excess and stress, but don’t whaanau forget the most important gifts – Love, time and memories. (family). I

love going all out at Christmas time to whatever degree that is.

“It’s my favourite time of year.

We don’t have a lot but we try our best to give each one of our children something they have wanted and then something they need plus money, followed by a massive kai (feed) that caters for whoever may come over.

“Then we head away for a week or more totally away from the worries of the world and enjoy what is free for us. Swimming, hiking, beaches, fishing, diving, visiting our loved ones in the cemeteries, story sharing ... and much more. That’s all part of our giving at Christmas – no set price on that.

“We have to be up with the times as well as the past we incorporate it all. We have eight kids so the less we spend on material things the more we make up for it in eternal memories and being together.”

So I reckon, spoil the kids rotten, within your means, but don’t forget to give them the three most important gifts – Love, time and memories.

Till next week, Hoo Roo.

■ CHINA

In brief

Air zone battle heats up

By Carol Huang China’s response to US B-52 bombers in its newly-declared air zone was “too slow”, staterun media say, fuelling the clamour for Beijing to get tough against Japan and the US. Beijing’s declaration of a new Air Defence Identification Zone (ADIZ) including Tokyo-administered islands at the centre of a tense dispute between the two neighbours has provoked global concern.

The US has a security alliance with Japan and announced that it had sent two US Stratofortress planes into the zone without obeying Beijing’s rules, in an unmistakable message ahead of a visit to the region by VicePresident Joe Biden.

China’s defence ministry issued a statement 11 hours later saying the military “monitored the entire process” of the B-52 flights, without expressing regret or anger or threatening direct action.

The Global Times, which is close to China’s ruling Communist Party and often strikes a nationalist tone, criticised the reaction as “too slow” in an editorial yesterday.

“We failed in offering a timely and ideal response,” it said, adding that Chinese officials needed to react to the “psychological battles” by the US. The government-run China Daily added that Washington’s move risked fuelling Tokyo’s “dangerous belligerence” and putting China and the US “on a collision course. Which will prove much more hazardous than sending military aircraft to play chicken in the air.”

China’s Communist Party uses nationalism as a key part of its claim to a right to rule, tapping into deep-seated popular resentment of Japan for its bru-

Gittany, 40, pleaded not guilty to murdering his fiancee Lisa Cecilia Harnum by throwing her off their inner-city balcony on July 30, 2011. He was convicted in a Sydney Supreme Court on Wednesday of killing her and will be sentenced next year.

Often unemployed and living at a Merrylands home with his mother, Gittany was well known to Sydney police back in 1993.

tal invasion of China in the early 20th century. Such passions are quickly aroused, and Chinese social media users called for Beijing to retaliate against Washington.

“The US’s bomber wandered around the edge of our ADIZ, I figure we should respond in kind. One good turn deserves another, right?” wrote one poster on Sina Weibo, a Chinese version of Twitter.

One suggested that Beijing should cancel Biden’s invitation, saying that if it “now announces that it was not the right time for Biden to visit China, would the US military still enter the ADIZ in the future as they like?”

The Chinese ADIZ requires

aircraft to provide their flight plan, declare their nationality and maintain two-way radio communication, or face “defensive emergency measures”.

The US and Japan accuse China of raising the stakes in the row over islands known as Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China, and senior administration officials in Washington said on Wednesday that Biden plans to raise Washington’s “concerns” about the zone during his visit to Beijing next week.

The trip will allow him to “make the broader point that there’s an emerging pattern of behaviour by China that is unsettling to China’s own neighbours and raising questions about how China operates in

international space”, an official said.

China’s new ADIZ also overlaps South Korea’s zone, incorporating a disputed, submerged, Seoul-controlled rock, and the South Korean military said yesterday one of its planes had flown through it without informing Beijing.

Australia yesterday refused to back down from criticism of the new air zone after Canberra summoned China’s ambassador earlier this week, prompting a furious response from Beijing.

The Philippines also voiced concern that China may extend control of air space over disputed areas of the South China Sea. - AFP

Riches to rags Japanese switched at birth A 60-year-old Japanese man switched at birth says he would like to “roll back the clock”, days after winning a lawsuit against the hospital that mistakenly cast him into a life of poverty.

The man told a packed Tokyo press conference that he was shell-shocked when he learnt the truth, saying his life would have been starkly different.

“I’ve wondered how on earth could this happen. I couldn’t believe it. To be honest, I didn’t want to accept it,” he told Japanese media yesterday.

A Tokyo district court this

Gittany bit policeman

week ordered the hospital to pay Y38 million ($A411,100) in damages over its 1953 blunder which saw the man switched with another baby boy who was delivered just 13 minutes later.

It is not clear if the hospital, which has not commented on the bizarre case, will appeal.

The man, an unmarried truck driver, would have grown up as the eldest of four brothers in a wealthy family where the siblings enjoyed a lavish lifestyle including private tutors.

Instead, he was raised on welfare by his non-biological moth-

er who also supported older siblings after her husband passed away. “It was like she was born to experience hardship,” the man said of the woman he knew as his mother.

The decades-old mistake was uncovered when the wealthy family’s three younger brothers had DNA testing done on their oldest sibling - who looked nothing like them - after their parents died. They checked hospital records and confirmed the identity of their biological eldest brother last year. The four are now working on building a rela-

tionship to make up for lost time.

But the man switched at birth said he cried daily for several months after learning the truth.

“As I saw pictures of my (biological) parents, I wanted to see them alive. I couldn’t hold back tears for months every time I saw their pictures.”

The mothers in both families had seemingly suspected they had been raising the wrong babies. His real brothers remember their mother saying her first baby came back from his first bath in hospital wearing the wrong clothes.

British MPs fiddled their expenses as a “displacement activity” because parliament had become irrelevant and ineffective, Speaker John Bercow says. He suggested the 2009 scandal was as much a symptom of decades of decline as “malice or corruption” as he urged action to ensure Westminster kept up with the modern world. A special commission will consider how to use the digital revolution to enhance democracy - including potentially bringing in e-voting. In a speech to the Hansard Society, Bercow said after becoming Speaker in June 2009 he feared for the future of parliament, describing it as a “virtual corpse”.

“By returning capital to our shareholders we can improve our balance of equity and debt, returning to levels achieved in 2011,” he said.

Robertson said that in 2009, debt as a proportion of the value of the company was 35 per cent but this had fallen to 20 per cent.

The airport was well placed to continue investing in the upgrade of its domestic terminal even with the return of capital.

It also has plans to expand

its international terminal and surrounding area as part of a 30-year growth plan which in today’s dollars would cost about $2.4 billion.

Robertson said the capital return would not affect this.

“We would be very clear on that.

“In no way would we expect that our capital return would affect our ability to fund our future growth aspirations including our progress in what has been labelled the airport of the future.”

He said the airport did not expect any impact on its A-minus credit rating with Standard & Poor’s but would find out in the next few days.

$454m to be returned to shareholders Auckland Council stands to make around $100 million in a planned capital return of $454 million from the city’s airport.

Auckland International Airport plans to return $454 million to shareholders by way of a share cancellation, with 60 percent of the payment to be treated as a taxable dividend.

The company will seek shareholder approval in February for a scheme of arrangement to cancel one in 10 shares at $3.43 each.

The transaction requires approval of at least 75 per cent of voting shareholders and the company would then seek final High Court clearance in March, with the return of capital aimed for mid-April.

Auckland Airport chief financial officer Simon Robertson said the super city owned 22 per cent of the company and was in line for just over $100 million.

“My expectation is that they would be delighted,” he said.

The airport said 40 percent of the payment would be a capital return for tax purposes and the balance treated as a dividend, fully imputed at 28 per cent tax rate.

“The company’s strong performance over the past five years, including our successful property development and retail

However, Adams appeared unfazed in a statement.

While legislation to over-rule the commission’s determination is among the government’s options, she said yesterday’s comments were “not unexpected.”

“While we have not sought support for legislation from our support parties, they have indicated to me that legislation was always going to be a challenge,” she said.

“For some time the Government has been considering a number of possible non-legislative options.”

ment’s desire to encourage early uptake of fibre-based broadband products.

A single clause in legislation governing the approach to regulation in the first years of UFB was intended to ensure the competition regulator did not cut prices for existing, copper-based broadband services that they undermined the appeal of more expensive fibre-based UFB. But Telecommunications Commissioner Stephen Gale has proposed much larger cuts to prices to copper wire broadband than the government had previously envisaged.

Any hope the government had that its support partners would vote to allow direct intervention on the price of copper-wire broadband services has evaporated with the United Future and Maori parties both pledging not to support such legislation.

Shares in network operator Chorus dropped 2.5 percent to a new low, $1.785, valuing the company at $707 million.

The announcements appeared orchestrated to give maximum publicity to lobbyists opposing such a move, with the public

relations adviser to the “Axe the Tax” campaign, Matthew Hooton, pushing statements from both parties and from occasional National Party ally New Zealand First to business media.

The National Business Review reports a staffer for the ACT Party’s sole MP, John Banks, as opposing such legislative action, while independent MP Brendan Horan is reported also not to support the government’s position.

“National is now isolated, as it should be, because its position has no contractual, public policy or moral basis,” said the Labour

In brief Rep team’s final warm-up Mid Canterbury’s senior representative cricket side have their final pre-Hawke Cup hit-out this weekend in Cheviot. Mid Canterbury takes on Marlborough in its final warm-up match ahead of the 2013/14 Hawke Cup zone competition. They’ll look to open this season’s campaign with a win against Otago Country on December 7 and 8. They’re two wins from three so far in their pre-season matches, having lost to North Otago by 123 runs last weekend, after beating South Canterbury and a Christchurch Metro side.

Early-bird kickoffs The kickoff times for the 2015 Rugby World Cup have been announced, with All Blacks fans needing to set their alarms for their side’s tournament opener.

The defending champions face pool C opponents Argentina at 5pm local on September 20 at London’s Wembley Stadium. That will mean a 4am start on a Monday morning for fans back home in New Zealand. The rest of New Zealand’s pool games are at more fan-friendly times, kicking off at 8pm local time. If the All Blacks top group C, their quarter-final, likely against France or Ireland, will take place at 2pm local time at Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium.- HOL

One spinner enough Australia don’t need two specialist spinners in the second Ashes Test in Adelaide, according to Nathan Lyon, who says he’s learned plenty since last year’s drawn Test with South Africa at the same ground.

Australia had a series-clinching Test victory in their grasp - requiring just six wickets on the fifth day at Adelaide. The scene was tailormade for Lyon to be the hero, but instead South African middle-order batsman Faf du Plessis earned the plaudits as he batted for sevenand-a-half hours, accumulating 110 not out, to force a draw. The result raised questions about Lyon’s match-winning ability - but he says he’s learned and grown from that disappointment.

Webber-Bana at Bathurst It started out as a joke, but Mark Webber’s plans to contest the Bathurst 12-hour endurance race with Hollywood movie star Eric Bana are starting to get serious.

Webber sparked plenty of interest on Wednesday when he responded to a fan’s tweet, asking whether he was going to drive for Porsche with Bana at next year’s event at Mount Panaroma. The newlyretired Formula One driver replied: “No 2015”. Bana, in Sydney to promote his new film Closed Circuit, said nothing was set in stone but was hopeful of making it a reality. “It started out as a bit of a joke and then it’s kind of taken off, so obviously I’d be thrilled to,” Bana said yesterday.

Scott in first-round stunner

By Darren Walton Adam Scott thought a magical 59 may be on the cards before settling for a breathtaking course-record 10-under-par 62 in the opening round of the Australian Open golf championship at Royal Sydney.

In a spectacular start to his quest to complete Australian golf ’s Triple Crown, Scott birdied his first six holes and then closed with four more consecutive birdies to leave his earlymorning rivals in his wake.

So sublime was the world No.2’s laser-like ball-striking that the longest birdie putt he made was from less than 15 feet.

His other nine birdies were all accrued from less than six feet.

“It was a beautiful morning, that’s for sure, for golf. The front nine was ideal conditions,” Scott said.

“I came out hitting great shots and didn’t have much work to clean them up the first five holes and then made a nice putt on my sixth hole and I was really rolling at that point.

“It’s an amazing start. I remember Greg Norman birdieing the first six holes at Royal Troon in 1989 and that was about as good a start as I can remember.

“Today obviously was very good.”

So good that the Masters champion admitted he toyed with the idea of breaking 60 before cooling off mid-round with eight consecutive pars.

“I wasn’t thinking about it hard but I knew it was a possibility,” Scott said.

“Having birdied the six holes I’d birdied, I felt like all the opportunities were still to come.

“So if I’d kept it going and had a good run around the turn, I felt like it was on for sure, especially with seven, eight, nine to finish.

“There’s a lot of opportunities if things go your way.”

In the end, Scott was content with his 62, which smashed the previous course record - jointly shared by Chris Gaunt, Matt Goggin, Stephen Dartnall, Ewan Porter and Jason Norris by three shots.

Because he started his round on the 10th tee, Scott’s scorecard actually displayed 10 consecutive birdies.

“Some day I’m going to embellish that I made 10 birdies in a row,” he beamed.

“But it’s going to be a few years before I can get away with that.”

The reigning Australian PGA and Australian Masters champion, who is bidding to join Robert Allenby as the only player to pull off a hat-trick of Australia’s major tournaments in a season, was four strokes clear of Victorian David McKenzie among the morning starters.

Two-time Australian Open champion Aaron Baddeley was a further shot back after posting a tidy 67, while Scott’s playing partner and World Cup-winning teammate Jason Day carded a two-under 70.

Far from discouraged, Jason Day said he cherished having the best seat in the house for Scott’s remarkable opening to the Australian Open.

The Scott-Day pairing was billed as an enthralling head-tohead showdown but the Masters champion blew his good mate away with HIS flawless, course-record round of 62.

His six straight birdies left Day, who finished with a respectable two-under 70, in his wake.

Day, though, said the experience wasn’t too tough at all.

“You’re just watching the show really,” he said.

“That’s how the best players in the world play and I got to

Adam Scott on his way to a record first round at Royal Sydney.

witness it today and it was special. That’s something that I’m going to remember for a long time. I look forward to playing with him tomorrow and hopefully catching him.”

While Scott sizzled, Day opened with a three-putt bogey and dropped another shot on his second hole when he sprayed one onto a driving range.

But the three-time major runner-up impressed speculators in

a slightly different way to Scott when he scaled the two-metre high fence and coolly hit his recovery shot before collecting back-to-back birdies to get his round going.

“Yeah, I had to jump,” he said.

“I had to run 100 metres or so to get around it, so I just jumped the fence and hit my shot over and then jumped back over.

“I’m glad I didn’t hurt myself.”

■ CRICKET

Sharks on track for another trophy haul By erin tasker

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

Coldstream will require a dramatic batting turnaround if they’re to stand a chance of winning in this weekend’s third round of Mid Canterbury senior cricket’s Pritchard Shield competition.

Last week they managed a total of just 58, with one batsman scoring 44 of those runs.

The innings featured seven ducks, and another batsman ended up 0 not out.

Another performance like that isn’t likely to cut the mustard

against this season’s top performers the Technical Sharks tomorrow.

The Tech Sharks are two wins from two starts in the Pritchard Shield so far, having already locked away the Twenty20 trophy at the start of the season.

Last week they beat Methven by three wickets, although it wasn’t a convincing win.

They were cruising at one stage but lost a string of quick wickets which put the result in jeopardy, despite chasing only 88 for the win.

Meanwhile Allenton will be looking to bounce back from a surprise eight-run loss to Lauriston in round three, when they take on Methven at the Ashburton Domain.

Allenton and Methven both posted first round wins before losing their second round games, so both would dearly like to get back that winning feeling.

In the other match of the round Lauriston will travel to town to take on the Tech Stags, a team coming off a good win against Coldstream.

Another one bites the dust . . .

Huge step up for Kiwis

By Michael Brown When the Kiwis won the World Cup in 2008, it came as a surprise.

After all, they were being coached by a 36-year-old in his first year as an international coach and were coming off a terrible 2007 campaign.

A lot has changed in five years but New Zealand are still underdogs for Sunday morning’s World Cup final against Australia at Old Trafford. That will take some time to change.

It’s also a very different Stephen Kearney in 2013. He’s better prepared, a lot more experienced and has overseen a near-faultless campaign.

Their organisation, approach and selections have been good and the team have developed a strong bond after seven weeks on the road. They are the only one of the Big Three sides to escape any off-field incidents and hope a happy camp means a successful one.

They won’t be able to find excuses if they fail to beat Australia because there aren’t any

Stephen Kearney: Has only beaten the Aussies as coach twice.

apparent ones and they have assembled a squad capable of going back-to-back.

The biggest challenge is overcoming a formidable Australian side who not only know how to win but are also desperate to win.

Kearney is aware how hard it is to beat the Kangaroos, given he has done it only twice in his five years as coach. They are the

only two games New Zealand have won against their transtasman rivals since 2005, but they have a habit of doing it in the most meaningful fixtures.

They are lucky to get the chance on Sunday after scraping past England in the semifinal last weekend and there’s a realisation they will need to be a lot better against Australia.

“I don’t think we’ve played

our best footy in the tournament,” Kearney said.

“Last week at stages of that match [against England] we were our own worst enemy.

“The lads understand that we can’t repeat that again this week because we know Australia will make us pay for it. It has to take our best performance and that’s what we’re striving for all tournament to get to this position.”

Kearney joked after that match that he didn’t see much of the final stages because he was hiding under the desk but there’s a certain calmness about him this week, more so than last week. It comes from coming up against a more familiar foe but it doesn’t make the task any easier.

“There are a number of boys in the English team who the boys didn’t know a great deal about and they play a brand of footy which is, at some stages, a bit unpredictable,” he said.

“Australia, they all know who the players are, they all understand how they play and they know what it takes for us to get a victory.”.

Chance for Dorie to increase their lead By erin Tasker

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

Dorie has a chance to take a commanding lead at the top of the Mid Canterbury Tennis A grade leaderboard tomorrow.

Dorie sits atop the table on 23 points after three rounds with Hinds second on 17. But Hinds has the bye this weekend, while Dorie takes on cellar dwellers Tinwald.

Players are coming off a two week break thanks to no play over Christchurch Show Weekend and the Mid Canterbury championship Gala Cup tournament last weekend.

The Gala Cup A grade men’s singles was won by newcomer to Mid Canterbury tennis this year, Neil McCann.

Dorie number one Rhys Cromie was looking to win his

eighth Gala Cup title but failed to even make the semi-finals.

He was the defending champion in both the singles and the doubles competitions – with brother Jayden – but lost both crowns.

The disappointing Gala Cup campaign came just weeks after Cromie suffered his first singles defeat in a number of years – at the hands of Mc-

Cann – so Cromie will be looking to get his season back on track as he heads into a likely clash with Tinwald’s Don Lake tomorrow.

In the day’s other match Hampstead will take on Allenton, where the newly crowned Gala Cup champion McCann faces a likely battle with Joseph Langley in the battle of the number ones.

Special olympians in form

By Myles huMe Myles.h@theguardian

The Mid Canterbury colours have been flying high at the national Special Olympics in Dunedin this week, with two medals already in the bag.

A five-strong Mid Canterbury squad have been competing at the four-day National Summer Games along with more than 1600 athletes.

Swimmers Trevor Nish, David Gosney and Liam Bartley got the Mid Canterbury medal tally ticking yesterday after two strong performances.

After finishing fourth in his preliminary 25m backstroke race, Nish claimed third place and a

bronze medal to boot. He then joined Gosney and Bartley, along with Southland ring-in Sharna Brownlie, in the 4x25m freestyle relay where they finished with a silver medal in the final after coming third in qualifying.

Gosney and Bartley yesterday also gained entry to today’s 50m freestyle final after recording times of 47.38sec and 39.77sec respectively in their preliminary races.

The Mid Canterbury bocce team of Shane Pringle and Joanne Inwood yesterday kicked off their campaign in style, claiming a 10-4 win over Wellington. They will play in up to four matches today.

In brief Lucinda aims high Ashburton’s Lucinda Askin has a South Island pony grand prix title in her sights at this weekend’s South Island Jumping Championships. Waimate will be hosting the Equestrian Sports New Zealand (ESNZ) 3* South Island Jumping Championships and among the highlights of the weekend will be the pony grand prix in which Askin is just one of a number of top contenders.

Meanwhile, Ashburton’s Susie Hayward and her starry imported stallion Andretti are the sole contenders in the Ron Williamson Bayer Super League.

More sledging to come Sledging happens in Australia, so get used to it. Cricket Australia Chairman’s XI captain Michael Beer, who will lead his side in a two-day game against England starting on Friday, has laid bare his plans for the Alice Springs encounter.

“That will be the aim, to make it a little bit uncomfortable for the opposition,” Beer told a news conference yesterday. “I don’t think it will be too hostile. There will a little bit of chat. My view is what goes on out there stays out there.

“You try to do what you do to put someone off their game, whether it’s playing club cricket or Test cricket. It’s aggressive and that’s the way we go about it.”

Anasta’s last season Braith Anasta says next season is likely to be his last in the NRL. The Wests Tigers utility will play his 15th season of first grade in 2014 and conceded for the first time at training yesrerday that retirement is well and truly on the cards at year’s end. Anasta, 31, debuted as a precocious teenager for Canterbury in 2000 in a career that has spanned 275 NRL games with the Tigers, Sydney Roosters and Canterbury - including a premiership in 2004 - four Tests for Australia and 10 State of Origin appearances with NSW. - AAP

Man U thumps Bayer Manchester United, with their best performance since David Moyes became manager, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain have qualified for the Champions League last 16. United excelled in a 5-0 rout of Bayer Leverkusen in Germany, while Real Madrid saw off Galatasaray 4-1 and PSG beat Greek champions Olympiakos 2-1. This trio join Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester City. That leaves the identity of the last eight teams still to be determined in the final round of group action in midDecember.

Pakistan clinch series

Photo SuPPlied 251113

The Guardian incorrectly reported the order of names in a photo of seven Mid Canterbury basketballers who are heading to Albury, Australia for the Great Murray River Jamboree today. They are (from left) Loren Hay, Sammy Arnold, Abe O’Donnell, Ashlee Strawbridge, Hayden Davis, Danielle McArthur and Isabella Roulston.

The Guardian apologises for the error.

Pakistan clinched their first series win against South Africa when they pulled off a thrilling one-run win in the second one-day international in Port Elizabeth. Hashim Amla (98) and AB de Villiers (74) took South Africa to the brink of victory but could score only seven runs off the last nine balls, while losing two wickets, to finish on 6-261. Fast bowler Dale Steyn took a careerbest 6-39, including two wickets in the last over of the innings, but the other South African bowlers struggled.

YOUR STARS

by Forecasters

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20) If you’re going to have any work/life balance issues or challenges, you’ll know about them, with a chance to tweak things so you get the balance right.

TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) Pay as much attention to flashes of inspiration and your imagination as you do to emotional responses and those things that push your buttons.

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) You’re able to get inside any financial tension created today and use it as motivation, with the money gods raising the bar.

CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) Make your own relationship and family needs a priority today, knowing you can make up for lost time later.

LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) During the 4 months that Venus will spend in your work sector, Jupiter will keep you and her on your toes, making sure you continue to pace yourself.

VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) While the Moon’s position in your income sector might be creating some financial tension you’re able to use any financial tension as motivation.

LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) It’s today that any work/life balance tensions peak.

Get behind the things this is accentuating, realising that you can’t change what you can’t see.

SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) Get behind any buttons that are being pushed today and discover why. Don’t sweat the small stuff, but don’t stick your head in the sand either.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) With some auspicious advantages and support from the money gods on the income and financial fronts, you’re able to channel tension into motivation.

CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) This could be a fairly intense and challenging day, yet on every front there is only tension because there are big opportunities pending.

AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) By the time Mercury leaves your career sector next week the push to get your professional game up to speed will be over, start pacing yourself.

PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 20) Take the opportunity to narrow down your financial priorities, allowing you to know what you’re fighting for before heading to the battlefields.

Ashburton College rowers Matthew Rae and Matt Beveridge hope to feature at the Ashburton Rowing Club’s regatta on Lake Hood starting tomorrow.

Regatta key lead-in to Maadi Cup

BY MYLES HUME

MYLES.H@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

A strong squad of Ashburton rowers is ramping up their 2014/15 rowing season as they take to the water at the Ashburton Rowing Club’s annual regatta tomorrow.

A 22-strong Ashburton College rowing team, including Charlotte Cox from the rowing club, will feature alongside

schools and clubs from across the South Island at Lake Hood in one of the key lead up regattas to the Maadi Cup next year.

Ashburton College rowing coach Steve Beveridge said many of his rowers had started the season strongly with regattas in Twizel and in ideal conditions on Lake Hood a fortnight ago.

He expected the local rowers to be prominent among the

more than 450 crews set to race.

“Georgia Lysaght has been rowing well in the singles and so too has been Adam Hodge.

In the double sculls Matt Beveridge and Matthew Rae are also starting to feel their way into the season,” Beveridge said.

With the NCEA exams almost wrapped up, Beveridge said he was excited about the talent that would be on show at the

lake over the two-day event.

“That will mean there will be a lot more school kids involved, so the regatta comes at a good time.”

Tomorrow’s regatta will also see the annual corporate eights event, involving business teams from Ashburton and Timaru.

The corporate eights will feature staff from three Ashburton businesses in the form of ATS,

ANZ Bank and Gabites, each looking to wrestle the title off Fulton Hogan Timaru who won the title last year.

With just one practice allowed on the water a week during the past 10 weeks, they will take on seven teams from Timaru.

Racing begins with the corporate eights at 8am with racing to carry on through until Sunday afternoon.

■ RUGBY LEAGUE

Sonny Bill snares coveted Player of the Year trophy Sonny Bill Williams has capped off his return to rugby league by being named International Federation Player of the Year yesterday.

The New Zealand and Sydney

Roosters forward received the sport’s most prestigious individual honour at the RLIF’s gala dinner in Manchester.

The award crowns a remarkable first season back in league

for Williams, who returned to the sport at the turn of the year after a five-year absence in rugby union and professional boxing.

Williams was a key figure in the Sydney Roosters team that

won the club’s first NRL grand final for over a decade and has been an integral part of the New Zealand side that is looking to complete a successful defence of the World Cup trophy

against Australia in the final of RLWC2013 at Old Trafford on Sunday NZT. The 28-year-old is the first Kiwi to win the International Player of the Year award.- HOL
