THE INDEPENDENT VOICE OF MID CANTERBURY

Locals given better shot at council jobs

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Value for money rather than local loyalty will continue to win the day when the Ashburton District Council shops for goods and services.

In its new procurement policy, the council has stopped short of adopting a ‘buy local’ directive but has given locals an assurance they will be included in the mix when bids are called for business.

Under the suppliers section the policy states that “all requests for verbal quotes, written quotes and closed tenders must include at least one local supplier when there is a known supplier that offers the goods or services required”.

On several occasions over the past year Ashburton businesses cried foul after the council opted to send business out of town.

In some instances the work was not offered locally and in others locals tendered but missed out on securing jobs.

The council’s response was

to draw up a new procurement policy that spelled out the principles that must be adhered to when goods and services were bought.

The new policy focuses on securing best value for money over the life of the goods, service or asset purchased and a requirement for purchases to be made in an open, fair and accountable manner.

Also included is a requirement for “local suppliers have the opportunity to compete for council business”.

When it signed off the new policy yesterday at the council’s finance and community services committee meeting, councillor Robin Kilworth wanted the council to compile a list of prequalified businesses it could have on its books.

This would not guarantee work and would not signal any contractural arrangement, she said.

The council will invite suppliers to register their interest in being considered for the prequalification list.

Former All Black Anton Oliver will be playing in an unfamiliar role when he appears with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra in the Dunedin Town Hall later this year.

Oliver will narrate Peter and the Wolf during the Tall Tales and Tangos tour and the former rugby hard man is already experiencing butterflies. “One of the reasons I did say ‘yes’ was because this is completely out of my comfort zone. I’d rather run into the South African forward pack to be honest,” Oliver said. “When I was young, the only way I knew how to express [emotions] came out as anger. Luckily for me, this was channelled and controlled through sport.”

Tomato fight attracts 20,000

A man dressed in a cow ‘onesie’ was spotted stealing steak from a food shop in Nelson. The incident, confirmed by police and the manager of Raeward Fresh happened on Friday afternoon last week. The man, dressed in in a cow onesie, entered the store with two other people and stole porterhouse steak from the meat section. The trio left in a red car, although witnesses were unable to catch the registration.

The store manager said staff were alerted by a customer who spotted the shoplifter in action. It was unknown how much steak was taken.

Thousands of people splattered each other with tons of tomatoes in the annual “Tomatina” battle in recession-hit Spain, with the debt-burdened town charging participants entry fees this year for the first time. Bunol town says some 20,000 people took part in the hour-long street bash, inspired by a food fight among kids back in 1945. The town said six trucks brought 130 tons of ripe tomatoes to the scene. Portable showers were set up for revelers to clean up after the battle.

5 Worms in the water

Mugabe poster used as toilet paper

Beating the late-summer heat isn’t as easy as running to the sink in one northeast Oklahoma town, as residents there are being asked not to drink tap water after red worms were found in the filtering system. The worms - ranging from 12mm to 25mm - showed up earlier this week in the drinking water in Colcord, a small town east of Tulsa. Councilman Terry Wood said city water was turned back on after workers cleaned, drained and re-cleaned the water tower. No worms were found in the tower, he said.

“We are still looking into this problem,” Wood said.

A Zimbabwean man has been charged for allegedly using President Robert Mugabe’s election campaign poster as toilet paper. Takura Mufumisi, 26, from the southern city of Masvingo, is said to have taken the paper with him to a bar toilet. An informant reportedly spotted him tearing up the poster with Mugabe’s image while inside the toilet and made a citizen’s arrest. He has been accused of violating electoral laws. In Zimbabwe it is a crime to pull down election campaign posters.

Firms weigh up payout claims Legal action could follow the Fonterra botulism scare, with one of the hardest-hit companies yesterday saying it was considering whether to pursue compensation.

Nutricia, which recalled some of its Karicare baby formula products earlier this month, said it was considering its legal position after the Ministry for Primary Industries on Wednesday announced Fonterra’s whey protein concentrate had been cleared of botulismcausing bacteria.

A spokesman for AgResearch, which is standing by the testing which sparked the scare, would not say whether it was facing any legal action over its tests.

Infant Formula Exporters Association chairman Michael Barnett said legal action was the last thing on smaller formula exporters’ minds.

“The big issue for these guys is trying to placate their markets, trying to get back into the China market in particular, and restoring confidence with their retailers, with their distributors.”

■ FONTERRA BOTULISM SCARE

Mr Barnett said that unlike Fonterra, smaller exporters did not have the balance sheets to write the episode off as a bad experience.

“For them, it’s not really a case of who was wrong and who was at fault - it’s how quickly can I get back into the market, to rebuild my networks and do something about the trust and confidence that these people did have in my brand.”

Nutricia Australia New Zealand general manager Corine Tap said the company was considering whether it would seek compensation or pursue

legal action against Fonterra or AgResearch. “We are considering our legal position,” she said.

Ms Tap said the company’s own testing had always shown the products were safe and had no botulism contamination.

The company had recalled about 67,000 tins of formula as a precautionary measure.

Its products were now back on New Zealand shelves, including the products subject to the precautionary recall.

Ms Tap would not put a figure on how much the false alarm had cost the company.

Christchurch Town Hall to be fully restored By kurt Bayer The earthquake-damaged Christchurch Town Hall has been saved after city councillors unanimously voted in favour of a $127.5 million full restoration plan yesterday.

The city centre building has been closed since suffering damage in the ferocious shaking of the deadly February 22, 2011 tremor.

Christchurch City Council’s community, recreation and cul-

ture committee was given four options which ranged from complete restoration to saving parts of the building, and freeing up cash for a new performing arts centre.

They preferred the $127.5m restoration - which will have a maximum insurance contribution of $68.9m - and councillors yesterday voted unanimously in its favour.

Outgoing city councillor Tim Carter abstained from the vote.

Further consultation will be carried out before repair work starts. The Town Hall is not expected to be re-opened until at least 2017.

The proposal backed yesterday was hailed as a “masterpiece” by one of its architects, Sir Miles Warren.

Surrounded by empty lots where its once-proud neighbouring buildings have been demolished - deemed too battered by the quakes to survive - the category one listed Christch-

urch Town Hall stood up in the quakes. Media were given a guided tour of the 41-year-old building on Wednesday.

Standing in the entrance foyer, apart from a slight musty smell and ever-so-slightly sloping floor, superficial cracks in the marble tiles and occasional concrete beam, the building withstood the ferocity of the magnitude 6.3 jolt of February 22, 2011 “rather well”, engineers told the media congregation.

A leaky Ashburton Borough building is understood to be caught up in a legal test case that could hold cladding manufacturers responsible for a multi-million dollar repair bill.

A High Court document earlier this week revealed the full list of defendants in a case where the Ministry of Education will look to take cladding manufacturers to court, on top of architects and builders, over hundreds of repairs for leaky school buildings.

James Hardie NZ Ltd (first defendant), Studorp Ltd (a James Hardie subsidiary), Carter Holt Harvey Ltd, and CSR Building Products (NZ) Ltd were revealed as the cladding manufacturers.

Ashburton Borough’s leaky administration building is set to be demolished this year and completely rebuilt.

It was recently revealed by Ashburton District Council chief executive Brian Lester that the building did not have a code of compliance and earlier failed a cladding installation inspection.

“If the code of compliance had been sought this would have raised the issue of the cladding.

While we don’t know if this is the cause of the problems it was certainly an issue that should have been addressed,” he said.

The Ministry of Education has refused to release any details to the Guardian in relation to the administration building or the claims by Mr Lester.

In a letter, the ministry said “the ministry cannot comment in detail on matters that may be subject of current or future legal action or where such comment could prejudice future commercial negotiations”.

The decision to go after cladding manufacturers, in addition to builders and architects, has made the ministry’s legal action an important test case.

The ministry is already fighting 100 leaky building claims in court, and is currently repairing about 800 buildings at 300 schools.

■ NURSES’ VACANCIES

Shortage ‘likely to be ongoing’

By Sue NewmaN

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

The struggle to find registered nurses to work in the aged care sector is likely to be an ongoing problem, says Rangitata MP and associate health minister Jo Goodhew.

Speaking at the opening of the New Zealand Aged Care Association conference, Mrs Goodhew said that in an effort to address the problem, the Government had extended its voluntary bonding scheme to graduate nurses who chose to work in the aged care sector.

In Canterbury in particular, Mrs Goodhew anticipates the staff shortage will continue to bite because of the region’s rapid growth.

She supports the current practice of employing overseas

Jo Goodhew

nurses who are retained in New Zealand but said this cannot come at the expense of locally trained staff.

“These nurses are good because the conditions they get registration under are very strict and they have to be, par-

ticularly over the ability to communicate.

“Strict is good because most of the issues that find there way to the health and disability commissioner relate to communication issues, but that’s both with New Zealand and overseas staff,” she said.

As new facilities were built to meet the growing demand for resthome, care and dementia beds, the Government had considered opening the door to facilities that would include only premium accommodation.

This idea had since been scrapped, Mrs Goodhew said, because of concern it could lead to a reduction in the number of beds that would not attract the extra charge, creating a divide between those who could afford to pay more and

those who could not. “I also understand that there is concern that the majority of new, aged residential care beds opening carry premium charges and that consequently aged residential care may become out of reach of some older people.”

The Government was committed to ensuring that all older people received quality aged residential care regardless of whether they lived in a premium or standard room, she said.

While the demand for aged care beds would only grow, the residential care model was changing to retirement villages that provided a full continuum of care from independent living to full care and to providing more services that would keep older people in their homes for longer.

Skifields receive late season dump of snow Snow fell in the Mid Canterbury high country, as a southerly blast worked its way up the country.

Residents in Mt Somers, Mayfield and Methven all awoke to a skiff of snow on Thursday, but the local skifields received a worthwhile overnight dump.

Mt Hutt copped 25cm of powder ending the winter season with an average depth of 265cm.

Conditions were described as excellent, with “immaculate grooming and unbelievable offpiste”.

However, the temperatures were biting, -8 degrees Celsius at the base area and -12°C at the summit, and some closures were in place while avalanche control work was undertaken.

Craigeburn Valley Ski Area reported 27cm of new powder, Mt Olympus received a 25cm

top up, while North Canterbury’s Mt Lyford had 20cm of fresh snow.

Porters Ski Area caught 15cm

of snow overnight on Thursday on the lower mountain, bringing the field a depth of 140cm in parts.

In brief Dog attack The Ashburton District Council and the Methven police are investigating a fatal dog attack on another dog which occurred at the weekend. It is believed a staffy cross mauled an elderly labrador which was in its fenced front yard in the ski town. The labrador later died while receiving veterinary treatment, while the offending dog has been seized and impounded.

Methven police did not return Guardian calls yesterday, while the council confirmed both the police and the council were investigating the incident. “So nothing has been finalised yet on the action to be taken,” a spokesperson said.

Bank closure irks Irate residents and business people of a popular Northland tourist destination are feeling betrayed by the closure of their only bank. About 40 people gathered outside the Westpac branch on Cass St in Russell to voice their disappointment at the bank’s decision to shut shop from September 13 and move its services to nearby Paihia. -APNZ

■ HAND OVER A HUNDY

Garden signals a new life and a new beginning

By Sue NewmaN

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Nana Sakaguchi’s garden is more than just a place where vegetables grow, it is a place that signals a new life and a new beginning for her family.

She’s celebrating the end of her first season as a novice gardener under the Hand Over a Hundy scheme, but she, husband Hayato and their children Riku, 12 and Kai, 2, are also celebrating a very different way of life.

The Sakaguchi family were victims of the 2011 Christchurch earthquake, fleeing the city to find sanctuary in Ashburton.

Hayato, a very pregnant Nana and 10-year-old Riku arrived with only the clothes they were wearing; everything else they owned was trapped inside the Colombo Street building that was both their home and their business.

That building was eventually demolished and with it the Sakaguchi’s restaurant Billiken and their dream of becoming a successful business couple.

Two and a half years later life has changed dramatically for the couple. Hayato is now working in the construction industry, their two sons are thriving and Nana is learning new skills as a Kiwi mum and housewife.

Her number one achievement, she says, is learning to be a vegetable gardener.

“In Japan I was always a city girl wearing high heels and a

suit. We lived in a small apartment with no garden and then in Christchurch we lived over the shop. I’ve changed a lot,” she said.

She credits the Hand Over a Hundy scheme where new gardeners are matched with mentors with much of that change.

Husband Hayato has built several raised gardens and Nana has been hard at work over the past 12 months growing a range of vegetables. Her garden has produced so abundantly that the Sakaguchi family is still eating its way through jars of preserves and pickles.

“This has been really satisfying. This year I put in too many tomatoes and now I have so many jars still there. And this year it’s the first time I’ve touched horse poo and it wasn’t as smelly as I thought.”

With the new growing season looming, Nana says she’s keen to expand her garden and hopes to have new boxes built and filled with soil in time for spring planting.

In line with keeping her garden organic, Nana has come up with a unique method of bug control.

“I use chopsticks for slugs.

They only eat at night so I come out with chopsticks and a torch, every night I’m out there picking them off and putting them in the bin. I’ve tried beer in a container. Slugs seem to like beer but it didn’t work as well, chopsticks are much better.”

Nana Sakaguchi and two-year-old son Kai celebrate their first year as successful home gardeners under the Hand Over a Hundy scheme.

What is Hand Over a Hundy?

Hand Over a Hundy is the brainchild of Ashburton woman Jade Temepara. It matches new gardeners with experienced gardeners for one growing season.

Each family is given $100 at the start of the year and expected to pay that back before the next growing season from the sale of surplus produce.

The scheme started with 10 families and mentors but last

year, its third, the number grew to 22. Mrs Temepara hopes to pull this back to between 10 and 15 this year because the cost of funding each new gardener is now closer to $300 than $100.

“We’ve just been absorbing those costs and we can’t keep doing that. This year I think has been the best year we’ve had, the families and the mentors were really committed.

“We’ve been lucky, we’ve had the most amazing mentors who have given so much.”

Change is in the wind for the scheme, however, with Mrs Temepara looking for a local volunteer co-ordinator for the Ashburton scheme.

She’s committed to helping set up new groups in several other parts of New Zealand – the Waikato, Auckland and sev-

eral places in Christchurch are already on board.

“The whole country seems to be asking for this,” she said.

As part of the scheme in Ashburton, Mrs Temepara has established a community garden resource centre, Te Hub. This is planned as an education centre and a place where gardeners can sell or barter their surplus produce.

The organisation has registered as a charitable trust, putting it in a position to apply for funding grants.

“This had to happen. We’ve been testing the waters to see if it was what people wanted and every year now we have a waiting list. We’re already full for the coming year. “This has created a food revolution on every level, not just gardening.

Chinese settlement restoration work forging ahead Work is forging ahead on restoration of buildings at Ashburton’s Chinese settlement on Allens Road.

A large block of land owned by a group of descendants of Ashburton’s early Chinese settlers was earlier this year gift-

ed to the Ashburton District Council for community use.

Several historic buildings and a large outdoor oven were on the site and the council secured funding through a Chinese Poll Tax Heritage trust grant for restoration work.

Council commercial manager John Rooney said the oven had now been restored and a quote had been accepted for the salvage of a truck shed and the stablisation of a school room and a workshop.

This work would be carried

out with money from the $7000 grant.

While the council has control and management of the five acre block, used as a market garden by its original settlers, the ownership of the land will remain in the names of the

descendents of the Ng King familily. Rather than sell the land, the family wanted it retained as a recreational area for the community and as a way of recognising the contribution early Chinese settlers had made to the Ashburton District.

■ HEPATITIS A OUTBREAK

Vaccination subsidy ruled out

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

The Canterbury District Health Board is not considering subsidising Hepatitis A vaccinations for food workers, despite this coming at a huge cost to Ashburton businesses.

Ashburton Meat Processors is spending about $22,000 to vaccinate its staff.

The business has vaccinated 85 staff to date and another 17 are to be vaccinated later this week.

The staff will receive a second vaccination in six months to provide 10 years of protec-

tion against the virus.

Assistant general manager Ryan Scott said the business and its parent company of A Verkerk Ltd took the health of staff, their families and food safety “very seriously”.

“When we were contacted by the Canterbury District Health Board (CDHB) and advised of the outbreak, the decision was made to vaccinate our staff, despite the cost to the company,” Mr Scott said.

Columbus Coffee director Nigel Heney said his business had spent over $1000 vaccinating about 11 staff at the prem-

ises, and saw it as money well spent. The vaccinations are administered at general practices and cost about $100 each.

“It would be very damaging if anything went wrong, I wasn’t prepared to take that risk for $1000,” Mr Heney said.

“It’s just about making it safe for our customers really.”

Other operators to have staff vaccinated include Ashburton Trust, which has spent about $12,000, and Ashburton Subway.

Canterbury medical officer of health Alastair Humphrey said any subsidised vaccination

programme would be more effectively aimed at children because they were the most likely spreaders of the disease.

In terms of food businesses, he said the cost of not vaccinating could potentially be more expensive in the long run.

The Ashburton District Council is assisting the CDHB to contact about 200 local premises to find out which ones have vaccinated their staff.

Environmental monitoring manager Rick Catchpowle said the list was only just being compiled and was incomplete to date.

■ DAFFODIL DAY QUIZ

In brief Demolition date nears Months after it was forced to evict its tenant the Ashburton District Council is about to demolish Millies Bar in Tancred Street. That demolition, however, has come with a few hiccoughs with exploratory work indicating especially designed steel struts were needed to secure a wall that adjoins a neighbouring building.

In about two weeks hand demolition will start on the building but a date is still to be set for the final demolition.

Platform for stadium A viewing platform to watch progress on the EA Networks Centre is about to be built off River Terrace. With work on the district’s new sports stadium and aquatic centre now under way, Ashburton District Council commercial manager John Rooney said the viewing area will ensure future users are able to monitor progress. Foundation trenching for the stadium will be completed this week with pool excavations due to start next week. The viewing platform will come complete with a detailed information board about the project. The $32 million complex is due to open in January or February 2015.

Rates rebates For the year to July 30 764 people in the Ashburton District received a rebate on the rates they paid to the Ashburton District Council.

The Government funded rates rebate scheme is open to people on low incomes or on benefits.

The amount an individual pays in rates can also dictate who qualifies and how much they receive as a rebate. To July 30 $395,353 was granted in rebates, an average of $517 per claim. The council has 775 letters for rates rebates ready to send out to potential applicants. Interviews to determine eligibility will start next week.

Scaffolding unstable Close to 400 locals packed into the Hotel Ashburton last night for an eventful and entertaining quiz night to raise funds as part of Daffodil Day. The night was organised by the local ANZ branch and included an auction of some brave males. photo supplied

Lip biter jailed for more than two years A man who bit off part of a woman’s lip and spat it on the floor has been jailed for more than two years.

“She says she may well have a permanent scar,” Judge John Macdonald told Corey David Dowie, 29, in Dunedin District Court yesterday.

“She is afraid of you and wants no further contact.”

Dowie earlier admitted intentionally injuring the woman, and possessing an offensive weapon (a broken ornament) showing intent to use it to commit an offence involving the fear of violence.

He was sentenced to two years and eight months’ jail on the injuring charge and nine months (concurrent) on the other charge over the incident

on June 6. The judge also made a protection order in favour of the victim.

Judge Macdonald said Dowie had been drinking at the woman’s home when he became agitated and argumentative.

Standing over the woman while she was sitting on a sofa, he leaned down without warning and bit into her lower lip, biting off part of it and spitting it on to the floor.

While he was biting the woman, her dog bit him on arm.

Enraged, he said he was going to stab the dog.

He picked up an ornament, broke it in half, and said he was going to stab and kill the dog.

He chased the dog into a bedroom and slashed at the dog

with the broken ornament, causing minor injuries.

While Dowie was with the dog, the woman was able to escape and run to neighbours for help.

Crown counsel Richard Smith said the biting was an extreme act. The victim was vulnerable in being seated, and Dowie was stronger than her.

Asked about the victim’s injury, Mr Smith said she had a small visible scar but was not disfigured in the true sense of the word. The scar was not plainly visible “to all and sundry”.

Defence lawyer Campbell Savage said the violence was not prolonged or premeditated.

The fact summary sounded awful, as if a piece of flesh was

bitten off the victim’s lip. But it was more like a piece of skin was removed.

Judge Macdonald said Dowie was on parole at the time. Violent behaviour was not new to him. His past convictions included two for injuring with intent to injure, other assaults, possessing a knife and threatening to kill.

Although the current offending involved only one bite, it was violence of an extreme kind and without warning. The victim was vulnerable and had no chance to defend herself.

A further aggravating factor was the weapon and what Dowie did with it. And his threats about the dog would have added to the victim’s level of stress.

Strong winds are suspected to be behind a scaffolding scare which closed off a section of Auckland’s Queen Street yesterday afternoon.

Queen Street was shut between Mayoral Drive and Wakefield Street around 3pm after scaffolding around the eightstorey Mayoral Tower became unstable. Three fire crews were dispatched, including a specialist cherry picker vehicle, to secure the danger. A Fire Service spokesman said strong wind gusts may be behind the scaffolding “pulling away from the facade and becoming unstable”.

■ $27M EDUCATION INITIATIVE

Priority pupil funding ‘spread thinly’

By Myles HuMe

myles.h@theguardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury principals are not getting too far ahead of themselves over the Government’s announcement to pour $27 million into initiatives to help struggling pupils.

Mid Canterbury Principals’ Association president Neil Simons doubted the district’s schools would see much of the cash because it would be spread

thinly and there “were higher priority learners” in other parts of the country.

Education Minister Hekia Parata announced this week $27 million would be targeted at priority pupils, including Maori, Pacific and children from poor backgrounds, and spread across 11 initiatives to lift achievement.

Mr Simons said it was positive there was a weighting on Maori and Pacific pupils, but in

context he felt it was not going to make a significant difference.

“It’s not a lot when you spread it across everyone. Reading that I don’t think we will see much of it in Mid Canterbury I think we have priority learners but there are higher priority learners elsewhere.”

Of the initiatives to benefit, $5m has been set aside over three years to help area schools with Maori pupils, $8m over

four years for Pacific pupils and $3m during the next two years to support first year children in literacy and numeracy.

There will also be $3.15m over the next two years for 100 schools to increase NCEA Level 2 achievement and further employment or study, and $1.75m over four years to support teen parents.

Ashburton College principal Grant McMillan said it was

unclear how effective the $27m would be until it was known which schools would benefit.

Although that was yet to be confirmed, he pointed to an example which highlighted $8m pumped into one initiative would essentially be broken down to $800 for all of New Zealand’s 2500 schools a year.

“And that will make a difference for Maori and Pasifika learners?,” he said.

Partners to become liable for dole fraud A bill to make beneficiaries’ partners liable to repay the debt if they are part of welfare fraud has passed its first reading with the support of most parties in Parliament, including both National and Labour.

The welfare fraud bill will make it an offence if the partner of a beneficiary knew of the fraud or deliberately ignored it.

It passed with 103 votes from National, Labour, NZ First, Act and United Future, as well as independent Brendon Horan.

The Green Party, Maori Party and Hone Harawira opposed it.

Associate Social Development Minister Chester Borrows said the Social Security (Fraud Measures and Debt Recovery) Amendment Bill created a new offence for partners of those who received a benefit of a single person, such as Sole Parent Support, if they were in fact in a marriage like relationship.

He said relationship welfare fraud made up up more than half of the total welfare fraud cost of $48 million last year.

“Yet too often one partner, usually the woman, is left carrying the whole debt when it took two people to create the offence.

That’s not right,” he said.

Medical students search out rural realities University of Otago medical students Cory Sellwood and Amy Okamura-Kho talk to Methven preschool sandpit enthusiasts Jasmine Chalke, 4, and Archie Maw, 3.

They are part of a group of third year medical students who are staying in Methven this week for their annual community contact week.

The group has visited various

places including the preschool, Methven Medical Centre, Methven Search and Rescue and Methven SeniorNet. “It’s so we can get an appreciation of the barriers that are

faced by a rural community, and how they approach health care,” Mr Sellwood said.

Other medical students have spent the week in Ashburton and Geraldine.

■ COURT

Jury objector has jail term replaced with a fine

By Brendan Manning A man sentenced to 10 days in jail for refusing to sit on a jury has had his sentence quashed at the High Court at Auckland.

James David McAllister was found in contempt of court for refusing to take the oath or af-

firmation after being selected for a jury in Auckland District Court on July 10.

In a decision released yesterday, Justice Graham Lang found Mr McAllister was in contempt when he refused to take the oath, but replaced his 10-day prison sentence with a $750 fine.

“His conduct was deliberate, and it interrupted the court process.

“It also disobeyed the judge’s earlier direction requiring him to serve on the jury, and occurred in circumstances where Mr McAllister had no lawful excuse for doing what he did,”

Justice Lang said.

“The appeal against the judge’s conclusion that Mr McAllister was guilty of contempt for refusing to take the oath is accordingly dismissed.

“The appeal against the judge’s conclusion that Mr McAllister was guilty of contempt

for subsequently saying he could serve impartially on the jury is allowed.

“The appeal against sentence is allowed, and the sentence of imprisonment is quashed. In its place Mr McAllister is fined the sum of $750.”

■ VIOLENCE IN SCHOOL

Decline in violence ‘pleasing’

By Emma CroppEr Mid Canterbury teens are aware what the results of violence are, and latest statistics show they are being physically harmed less.

According to the Health and Well-being of Secondary School Students in New Zealand report, the amount of students who are physically harmed on purpose had decreased by 16 per cent since 2001.

“Any kind of decrease in violence is a positive,” Safer Ashburton District Think First coordinator John Hobbs said.

“Obviously there’s still a long way to go, but if every community steps up and takes responsibility for the issues faced, that percentage will hopefully continue to decrease.”

Ashburton College student Caitlin Adlam, 16 said she had learnt a lot about violence through awareness at school.

“In English we’ve been studying domestic violence and the

effects of it, so I have learnt quite a lot through that.”

Miss Adlam said she knew people who had physically harmed another person and believed that although it is not the right thing to do, however under the circumstances she understood why they did it.

The report released this month found that 29 per cent of students had been physically harmed on purpose compared to 45 per cent in 2001.

“I think people’s awareness to the issue is growing,” Mr Hobbs said.

Mr Hobbs believes that social media plays a role in the younger generation who relate more to the messages they see online.

“Social media resonates more with younger people, whereas TV resonates with the older people.”

However Mr Hobbs said today’s generation could be desensitised to violence because they are seeing it more in the media then before.

Safer Ashburton Think First project co-ordinator John Hobbs thinks it is positive that violence in secondary school students is decreasing.

By SuE NEwmaN

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Wanted: People with sound business knowledge.

Those people could form a pool of Ashburton business mentors charged with helping local business owners develop their skills and expand their businesses.

Grow Mid Canterbury has joined forces with Business Mentors NZ and wants to expand the pool of locals who have the knowledge and skills to add value to the district’s businesses by providing general and specialist advice and assistance.

“Often it’s your unique experience, the gems of business knowledge, that are the catalyst for small

business owners. Your business knowledge, skills and understanding can add real value to businesses and the community,” said Grow Mid Canterbury business advisory services manager Simon Nikoloff.

“It’s easy and there’s no cost to you. Grow Mid Canterbury will assist you to register with Business Mentors NZ. You’ll then be provided referrals to client businesses that need your skills and experience.”

Commitment is voluntary, about four hours each month. A mentor’s experience is matched with business needs and mentors work directly with business owners for a number of sessions until

issues are resolved.

People from a wide range of businesses are needed for the mentor pool, including farming, agriculture, manufacturing, services, exporting, importing and professional services.

“If you have a passion for helping businesses and are enthusiastic about sharing your knowledge and helping small business owners, then consider becoming a business mentor,” Mr Nikoloff said.

For more information about becoming a business mentor, contact Grow Mid Canterbury Business Advisory Services Manager, Simon Nikoloff ph 021 576 044, email sme@ growmc.co.nz.

Fagan drunk on motorcycle Radio host and musician Andrew Fagan has been convicted and fined for riding a motorbike at more than twice the legal alcohol limit.

Fagan appeared in Waitakere District Court yesterday and pleaded guilty to driving with excess breath alcohol.

Police prosecutor Stewart King said Fagan was seen driving in excess of the speed limit on a motorcycle on August 1.

“The defendant appeared to be unbalanced as he struggled to put his motorcycle on a stand after being stopped by police,” he said.

Fagan was breath tested and showed a breath alcohol reading of 841mcg per litre of breath, double the legal limit of 400mcg.

“When spoken to by police the defendant stated that it was a wide road and that his speed was not hurting anyone.” The

court was told Fagan had a clean driving record and had never appeared in court before.

Community magistrate Janet Holmes noted that he was “well over twice the legal limit”, and took into account his early guilty plea.

He was convicted and fined $750, disqualified from driving for six months, and ordered to pay court costs of $130.

■ MT HUTT SKI AREA

Skifield looks to the future

By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Mt Hutt Ski Area could increase its terrain in the future as it looks to the next 40 years.

On the back of successful 40th anniversary celebrations, manager James McKenzie said the next 40 years would bring both improvements and challenges, including increasing terrain and lifts, and dealing with the threat of climate change.

Mr McKenzie said terrain at the back of Mt Hutt over to its north peak could be opened up in future, although not necessarily by lift installation.

The ski area was going through lease renewal with the Department of Conservation.

“That’s definitely an area we are keen to see remains in our lease area,” Mr McKenzie said.

The development of expert skier terrain was being undertaken with other initiatives such as working in with Mt Hutt Helicopters to offer more budget heliskiing experiences from the skifield.

An area viewed as having potential for more immediate development was the Lower Wayleggo ski run. This constituted a “paddock” of beginner terrain below the Highway 72 ski run which leans itself to the installation of a surface lift.

“A lot of our investment is based on current visitation, we would want to see this recover more before we talk about significant earthworks or lift development.”

The ski area also wanted to develop its freestyle skiing opportunities, with the terrain park and other jumps.

Meanwhile, climate change was a threat but not in the way many would think.

James McKenzie

Freezing levels were forecast to rise, however this would not be expected to affect Mt Hutt which was one of Australasia’s higher ski areas.

But the regularity of snowfalls could decrease, and the ski area planned to spend more money on snowmaking in the future. Bigger snowfalls could occur, and the skifield would be looking at improving technology for moving snow into lighter covered areas.

It could also install wind fencing to protect the ski area from more extreme wind events.

Climate change could be a “double-edged sword” when it came to the Australian market.

While ski areas across the Tasman could disappear altogether, this could either see Aussie skiers flock here to ski, or could see them forget about skiing altogether.

And if carbon taxes were introduced, flying here could become more expensive.

“That Australian market, which is so important, it could go either way,” Mr McKenzie said.

Animal testing to be revisited

By ISaac davISon

Parliament will reconsider testing recreational drugs on dogs and rats as part of animal welfare reforms debated in the House yesterday.

MPs backed the Animal Welfare Amendment Bill at its first reading yesterday, and also agreed that a select committee should consider a Labour amendment to rule out experiments on animals to prove the safety of legal highs.

It was the second attempt by

the Opposition to prevent drugmakers from testing recreational drugs on animals.

Parliament last month voted against an amendment to the Psychoactive Substances Bill which would have ruled out the use of dogs and rats as part of a new legal highs testing regime.

That bill allowed drug makers to use animal testing, but only if there were no alternatives.

Labour MP Trevor Mallard said Parliament had effectively State-sponsored cruelty to animals. He said it was immoral

Daffodil Day – a worthy cause Michelle Nelson CHIEF REPORTER

T

oday Cancer Society volunteers will be out on the streets collecting for their worthy cause.

Daffodil Day is the society’s annual flagship fundraiser. The bright yellow flowers are among the first to appear at the end of winter, signalling the arrival of spring and symbolising hope for the one in three New Zealanders who will be affected by cancer in their lifetimes.

Yesterday we featured Ashburton father Duncan Crozier’s story. He was diagnosed with stomach cancer two years ago, and one aspect of his story that stood out was the importance of support of the Cancer Society, whose volunteers have walked alongside him and his family every step of the journey.

Duncan pointed out the journey has been as difficult for his family as it has on him.

While one in three will be directly affected, every one of us has been touched by cancer – through family members, loved ones, workmates or friends and as the district grows so too does the number of cancer sufferers.

The demand for the services of the Ashburton Cancer Society has tripled in the past 15 years.

Alongside this Mid Cantabrians have stepped up to the plate to volunteer their time to support the society – while many charities struggle, the Ashburton branch has managed to keep pace. Many of those who have received support from the group want to give something back; others see the intrinsic value in helping others.

When it comes to Daffodil Day the 80 regular volunteers are supported by scores of others to make the day a success.

The donations they receive today will go toward vital scientific research into the causes and treatment of all types of cancer, and provide support services, education and programmes for people affected by cancer.

Look out for the volunteers with their yellow buckets, balloons and the trademark bunches of daffodils, dig deep and make a donation.

YOUR VIEW Phillipa Reid

College headline I tend to agree with Mark Ellis’ letter in Wednesday’s Guardian, regarding the headline on the lead story in Tuesday’s paper.

As a parent my thoughts were thrown into disarray as I read the sensationalised headline regarding ERO’s report on Ashburton College.

Yes we know that ERO wants to see all the i’s dotted and the t’s crossed, but hey – don’t we all have room for improvement?

Instead of focusing on weaknesses, let’s get behind our college and support them as they look at the areas of development needed.

I believe our children are receiving a good education and having met and dealt with the principal and staff, I am confident they will all address the issues highlighted.

*****

This whole controversy over the ERO review makes me very angry.

Firstly your paper needs to stop sensationalising and instead print accurate headlines and content.

Too often the negative in any situation is over dramatised for your own misguided intentions.

The number of Maori and Pacific Island students has not been taken into consideration or even the percentage published, when giving the results of examination success and these figures should be included.

I have just read Peter Livingstone’s article and the thing that struck me most and completely shocked me was why are the teachers at the college berating and speaking badly of

their leaders to the students?

My goodness that is the worst kind of disloyalty from the staff that you could ever encounter.

I have two students currently attending the college and I have absolutely no concerns regarding their education and achievements.

Come on staff, get behind your leaders and make this a team effort for the sake of the students.

Phill Hooper OFF THE AIR

Y

ou are kidding me?

That was my initial reaction to a friend’s post on Facebook this week about what she saw on a night out on the town in Ashburton on Saturday.

So what did her post say?

“I’m genuinely gob smacked.

Went out last night and was mortified to see drunk girls on the dance floor getting their boobs out and boys copping a feel. My instinct is to get them out of there and keep them safe ... but apparently that’s just what they do!! The new thing. When did this happen???!!!”

I initially thought ‘man things have certainly changed’.

In my younger days you may have seen a bit of flashing and the odd nudie run (yes guilty) but this is taking things to a new level.

Over 50 comments later I realised we were only scratching the surface.

Other body parts are being exposed!

It also appears that some girls are different methods to get drunk quicker.

So what’s going on? Well personally I think reality TV and, with that, the lack of stable role models for young ladies has a major part to play.

It seems the so-called celebs these days are getting more and more risqué to get noticed.

A prime example of that is Miley Cyrus and her twerking with Robin Thicke at the VMAs. I just hope the girls that have looked up to her for years can say “this is entertainment; it’s Hollywood, NOT real life and downtown Ashburton”.

■ AIR NEW ZEALAND

Oil price tensions shadow $182m profit Air New Zealand says it is confident of coping with higher fuel prices if tension over a possible attack on Syria forces oil prices even higher.

The airline announced its highest net profit in five years which saw its shares bounce by 4.4 per cent to $1.43 in early trading.

While the the $182 million profit proved the business was in good shape and it was forecasting an even better result in the current year, chairman John Palmer said the outlook came with conditions.

“That of course is caveated by the global situation both on

market demand and fuel prices and of course as we see today the world is not immune from continuing crises.”

Chief executive Christopher Luxon said the airline had substantial hedging in place for fuel in the current year.

“Fuel will be what fuel will be but we’ve learned to run our business around that. Our hedging policies allow us time to change to changing circumstances,” he said.

Prospects of an American led air strike on Syria have pushed oil prices to a six month high.

Luxon said Air New Zealand had already learned to build a

Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation and financial instrument movements - the best guide to underlying earnings trends - was $336 million, compared with $387 million.

Some $20 million to $25 million of the reduction was thanks to the unavailability of the Tekapo hydro assets during an extended outage to allow planned maintenance, with the second phase of the maintenance project scheduled in the current financial year.

The company says this phase is unlikely to be as long and therefore will have less impact on earnings.

Controversial upgrades to Hagley Park’s cricket oval in central Christchurch have been backed by city councillors yesterday.

The 11 votes to three majority decision gives Canterbury Cricket a ground lease for its proposed development, which includes a raised embankment, new pavilion and retractable lighting towers.

It’s a major boost in the city’s bid to bring the ground up to international standard and the ability to host three 2015 Cricket World Cup games. - APNZ

Regulators say 1200 investors lost paper returns of more than $380 million in the scheme. Serious Fraud Office acting manager Graham Gill said their out-ofpocket losses were at least $115 million. - APNZ

Syrians flee from US threat Fears of a possible US strike against Syria’s regime over an alleged chemical weapons attack rippled across the region yesterday, as about 6000 Syrians fled to neighbouring Lebanon in a 24-hour period and Israelis scrambled for gas masks in case Damascus retaliates against them.

UN chief Ban Ki-moon pleaded for more time for diplomacy and to allow UN investigators to complete their work.

The experts, wearing flak jackets and helmets, collected blood and urine samples from victims during a visit to at least one of the areas hit in last week’s attack.

Seven days after chemical weapons were purportedly unleashed on rebel-held suburbs of the Syrian capital, momentum grew toward Western military action against President Bashar Assad’s regime. At the same time, Syria’s chief allies, Russia and Iran, warned of dire consequences for the region if any armed intervention is undertaken.

US leaders, including vice president Joe Biden, have charged that Assad’s government was behind the August 21 attack that Doctors Without Borders says killed at least 355 people.

The White House says it’s

planning a possible military response while seeking support from international partners.

The US has not presented concrete proof of Syrian regime involvement in the attack, and UN inspectors have not endorsed the allegations, although the UN envoy to Syria, Lakhdar Brahimi, said evidence suggests some kind of “substance” was used that killed hundreds.

Two senior Obama administration officials said US intelligence agencies are drawing up a report laying out the evidence against Assad’s government.

The classified version would be sent to key members of Congress and a declassified version

would be made public.

One of the officials said the administration is considering more than a single set of military strikes and “the options are not limited just to one day” of assault.

President Barack Obama is weighing a limited response that focuses on punishing the Syrian government for violating international agreements that bar the use of chemical weapons. Any US military action, officials say, would not be aimed at toppling the Assad regime or vastly altering the course of Syria’s civil war, which has already claimed 100,000 dead.

■ IRAQ

Bloody attacks claim more than 60 lives More than a dozen bomb blasts have ripped through Shi’ite districts in and around Baghdad.

The latest wave of attacks has killed more than 60 people across Iraq.

The worst of the bloodshed struck the capital and surrounding areas in a spate of apparently co-ordinated car bombings and suicide attacks targeting the morning rush-hour.

Angry residents of one neighbourhood chased down a suspected attacker and killed him before setting his corpse ablaze.

The unrest came despite widely publicised security operations targeting militants in Baghdad and to the north and west, though the government has faced charges of not dealing with the root causes of Iraq’s worst violence since 2008.

The spike in violence since the beginning of the year, with more than 3700 people killed in 2013, has sparked concerns Iraq is teetering on the edge of a return to the brutal all-out sectarian war of 2006-2007. – AFP

In brief Water on the moon Scientists have found evidence of water in mineral grains on the moon from an unknown source under the surface, NASA said. “Using data from NASA’s Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3) instrument aboard the Indian Space Research Organisation’s Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft, scientists remotely detected magmatic water, or water that originates from deep within the moon’s interior, on the surface of the moon,” the space agency said.

This marks the first time that this form of water has been detected from lunar orbit, but samples brought back by the Apollo astronauts had traces of magmatic water, NASA said.

Did life begin on Mars?

Life on Earth may have started on Mars, growing evidence suggests.

An element believed to be crucial to the origin of life would only have been available on the surface of the Red Planet, it is claimed.

Geochemist Professor Steven Benner argues that the “seeds” of life probably arrived on Earth in meteorites blasted off Mars by impacts or volcanic eruptions.

As evidence he points to the oxidised mineral form of the element molybdenum, thought to be a catalyst that helped organic molecules develop into the first living structures.

A Leeds man who got annoyed by cold callers interrupting him while he was watching Coronation Street has got his own back by setting up his own premium rate number which makes him money.

Lee Beaumont paid £10 ($A17.50) plus VAT (Value Added Tax) to set up his personal 0871 line in November 2011, and said he has made £300 from the calls he has received since. Beaumont, from Leeds, told BBC Radio 4’s You and Yours programme: “I was getting annoyed with the PPI calls when I’m trying to watch Coronation Street for instance, so I’d rather have an 0871 so I can make 10p a minute. “I thought there must be a way to make money off these phone calls.” He said it was “extremely easy” to carry out research online into how to go about getting a premium line. – PA

“There are a huge number of men that volunteer, and there are very elderly folk who bring around baking or people who give a morning to manage reception. Working directly with the families may not be their thing, but no matter what their skills or how much time they have, anyone can do something.”

She described the work as humbling.

“I just feel honoured that people would accept me into their homes and their lives as they do. If we can do even one thing to make the journey easier for them, it’s worthwhile.”

Cancer Society area manager Annie Bonifant said that more volunteers were needed, especially as drivers to take elderly or unwell patients to their treatments in Christchurch.

In the first few months of this year volunteer drivers made almost 20 trips per week to get patients to their treatments.

“We never know from day to day how busy we will be, and we always need fresh faces and new ideas.”

How to pick your PC T

he debate over which PC operating system is better, Mac or Windows, has passionate followers on both sides.

There’s no single answer, but you can find a computer with the right characteristics to meet your computing needs. Here’s the lowdown.

Mac and Windows are equal in:

Usability You may have heard that Macs are more intuitive than Windows. In reality, neither system is fundamentally easier to learn.

Novice computer users will face challenges learning to navigate either a Mac or a Windows system, and users experienced with one platform will experience frustrations if they switch.

Design capabilities Although Macs ruled the design world in the 1980s and 90s, both operations have equal design applications and abilities today. Both Mac and Windows systems support a large variety of file types, offering cross-platform compatibility so designers can exchange ideas between Mac and Windows PCs with ease.

Mac and Windows are not equal in terms of:

Viruses, maintenance Macs are no longer virus-free, but malware remains far less prevalent in them. Windows users are plagued with driver updates, security patches and a need for regular antivirus/antimalware scanning, which can lead to clutter within the system and speed issues because of higher memory consumption.

But because Windows is experienced with combating malware it is better suited to quickly addressing new security issues.

Choose carefully: If you’re not already committed to one system there’s a lot to consider.

Apple tends to struggle with rapid response to new attacks.

Software and gaming Windows is the big winner here. It offers a much larger library of compatible software options and nearly three times as many applications in its app store as the Mac. Although you’ll have no trouble finding Mac versions of bigname games or programmes such as Quicken or Photoshop, if you run a specific software application that isn’t as widely used you may find that it’s a Windows-only programme.

Graphics cards and compatible

gaming hardware options are also limited for Macs, meaning gamers should stick to Windows.

Hardware Almost all hardware is designed to work with Windows, a huge advantage when you need to upgrade or replace a malfunctioning part. Mac users have more limited upgrade capabilities if a key piece of hardware breaks or no longer supports computing needs.

Cost Apple sells high-quality systems for top dollar. It doesn’t of-

fer budget models; it doesn’t sell a less-reliable motherboard or a slower processor at a discount.

Alternatively, there’s a huge variance in the quality and price of Windows-based PCs. A Windows PC with similarly reliable hardware wouldn’t be considerably less expensive, but Windows systems are usually cheaper because of competition among manufacturers.

Apple doesn’t sell custom machines so, if you want a larger hard drive in your new Mac, you’ll have to get a pricier model that probably includes additional upgrades for which you otherwise wouldn’t choose to pay.

Overall, Windows PCs of-

fer a lower purchase price, but they may require more time and money to maintain (malware removal, the replacement of cheaper hardware) than a Mac. Windows systems aren’t inherently easier to use, but the platform’s popularity means you’ll more easily find people to help you sort out a problem.

Also, you are likely to have fewer compatibility issues with peripheral hardware or when sharing data with others. On the other hand, Apple products work well together. If you already have other Apple gadgets, a Mac may be a great fit in your electronics family.

Top shot Hayley seeks perfect finish

By Jonathan Leask

jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Shooter Hayley Murphy is lining up a perfect season at her new club.

Her Celtic side has swept through the regular season unbeaten and are overwhelming favourites to take down College A in their semi-final tomorrow to advance to a third straight premier final.

“Our goal is to go through unbeaten and so far everything has gone to plan,” Murphy said.

Last year Celtic went on a 10-game winning streak before a loss to Methven, and ultimately lost the final to Methven.

Murphy was new to Celtic at the start of the season coming from playing for Lincoln in the Selwyn competition and the nurse by trade has been a clinical part of their charge at the perfect season.

Celtic convincingly accounted for College A 35-21 and 31-20 already this season, but Murphy expects it to be closer tomorrow.

“It should be a lot closer as College have nothing to lose.

“They have been building towards their secondary school tournament in recent weeks and a consolidated performance, so we won’t be taking them lightly.”

Murphy celebrated her 27th birthday yesterday and is hoping a belated present will be a shot at the premier title next week.

The other semi-final has defending champions Methven up against Hampstead.

Hampstead had started the second round hot-to-trot tipping up Methven but after a loss to Celtic have lost some of their momentum, held to a 19-all draw with United last week, but will have plenty of motivation.

Hampstead made the premier final for five straight years before missing out on the top grade altogether in 2011; they made it to the play-offs last year but were beaten by Celtic but have been bolstered by the return of experienced players from their finals run.

Methven have also got experienced heads across the court who have been in four of the last five finals with wins in 2008 and 2012.

A driving factor is that no team has beenable to win back-to-back titles since United in 2001 and 2002 but over a decade later Methven are one step away from breaking that drought. The senior netballers contest their semi-finals but it is finals day for the junior grades from 9am.

In brief Dislocated shoulder Kiwi-born mixed martial arts fighter Dylan Andrews battled through a dislocated shoulder to score an impressive knockout victory over Papy Abedi in round three at UFC Fight Night 27 in Indianapolis yesterday. Andrews was thrown by Abedi in the first round and confirmed after the middleweight bout that his shoulder was dislocated before he was able to compose himself to deliver the knockout blow. “I think when he judo tossed me in the first, I landed on my left shoulder and I heard a crack,” Andrews said.

Andrews is originally from Wellington and is now based on the Gold Coast and will hope to make a speedy recovery in time to compete at the rumoured UFC show in Australia at the end of the year. - AAP

Mountain bikers eighth New Zealand finished eighth in the team relay which kick-started the UCI mountain bike world championships in South Africa yesterday. It’s the first time New Zealand have competed in the cross-country team relay since the championships were hosted in Rotorua in 2006. The relay comprised a lap each for a male and female elite, male under-23 and male junior. With no male elite, the New Zealand team included two under-23 riders - last year’s junior world champion Anton Cooper and Dirk Peters along with Olympian Karen Hanlen and junior Sam Gaze. - APNZ

Slade sets tone in Canty ambush Canterbury were said to be preparing for a backlash from a Waikato team on the rebound from losing the Ranfurly Shield; instead the Mooloo men ran into a Colin Slade-inspired ambush last night.

Slade, returning from All Blacks duties to play at fullback for Canterbury at AMI Stadium, added a touch of class to just about everything he did, including his quick recovery from a dislocated finger in the first half.

He was directly involved in Milford Keresoma’s two opening tries, Slade providing the pass for both wing’s touchdowns, including one of 20m

for the second, and had a hand in hooker Ben Funnell’s try in the first half too.

Slade was taking advantage of a dominant forward pack and a backline, but his composure and vision at the back suggests he could put some pressure on Israel Dagg in the No15 jersey at the Crusaders next season, especially in the early part of the campaign. In the final 15 minutes he moved to his preferred position of first-five in place of the solid Tyler Bleyendaal and scored a deserved try as the red and blacks ran out bonus point victors.

Waikato, without impressive flanker Jack Lam due to fam-

ily reasons and four unnamed players who were demoted due to breaches of team protocol, hardly fired a shot in the first half - they didn’t mount an attack in the home side’s 22m territory until after halftime.

Even the massive Ben Tameifuna was neutralised by a Canterbury front row including the similarly big Paea Fa’anunu.

To make matters worse, centre and captain Jackson Willison centre and captain went off at halftime, but instead of folding, Waikato fired up.

Hooker Brayden Mitchell went over for a deserved try and Save Tokula would have followed suit but for a debatable

forward pass.

However, the home side, aided by Slade, flanker Matt Todd, wing Patrick Osborne and midfielder Ryan Crotty, eventually cut loose.

Canterbury, on the hunt for their sixth consecutive title, are three from three this season and it’s hard to see them threatened until they meet Wellington, in three weeks.

Canterbury 47 (Milford Keresoma 2, Ben Funnell, Adam Whitelock, George Whitelock, Colin Slade, Patrick Osborne tries; Tyler Bleyendaal 2 pens, con; Slade 2 cons). Waikato 10 (Brayden Mitchell try; Wharenui Hawera con, pen).

Ashes bowling hero Ryan Harris has warned that any ideas of fighting fire with fire by juicing up Australian wickets this summer could backfire against England.

Back home to a star’s reception following the 3-0 series loss, Harris is hungry for the return Ashes battle at home and determined to play all five Tests. The 33-yearold’s injury-troubled body held together for four straight Tests for the first time in his stop-start career as he took 24 wickets at 20 apiece to be his team’s player of the series. English curators served up dryer-than-usual pitches that suited match-winning spinner Graeme Swann and the reverse swing of Jimmy Anderson and Stuart Broad. - APNZ

Barba follows kids Ben Barba says leaving Canterbury to join Brisbane was the hardest decision he’s had to make and he would’ve walked away from the NRL if his ex-partner hadn’t moved to another club’s area.

Barba will link up with the Broncos at the start of next season after the club took over the terms of his existing deal with the Bulldogs and paid them compensation, believed to be around $300,000, to secure the 2012 Dally M Medallist. The 24-year-old was granted a release due to family reasons as his ex-partner is moving back to Queensland with their two daughters and the superstar fullback says he would have moved anywhere in the country to be near his children. “My ex-partner has a lot of family and friends there (in Brisbane) and luckily she moved there, it wasn’t really my choice,” Barba said. - APNZ

National glory just a game away

By Jonathan Leask

jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

The Ashburton College 1st XV have the biggest game of secondary school rugby in Mid Canterbury history tomorrow.

College host Dunstan High School in the South Island CoEd Championship tomorrow, with the winner heading to the national top-four playoff in Rotorua next weekend to face the Blues region winner in a straight semi-final.

It’s a big deal, so much so that Dunstan made the trip up to Ashburton yesterday to ensure they have fresh legs come kickoff.

College have also taken extra steps in their preparation.

With a week off in between, college coach Shane Enright went on a scouting mission at the weekend to watch Dunstan in action.

“I went down for a bit of a nosy,” Enright said.

“It looks like it should be pretty even.”

College’s last outing was a disappointing 10-19 loss to St Thomas in the plate final of the Crusaders Secondary School competition a fortnight ago when Enright “rotated” his starting XV. Ashburton won’t be holding anything back tomorrow.

“It’s all in and it is winner takes all so we’ll put our best 15 out there.”

Enright has his full squad available and a forecast that favours their style.

“They said it was going to be rough for a few days but that looks to have blown over already so it looks good and that will suit as because we’ll look to

Grass court tennis Mid Canterbury masters mixed tennis is again putting the call out for players for the upcoming season. The competition has been staring down the barrel of being cancelled if they can’t fill at least five teams with committed players before the start date in October.

The masters mixed grade plays a weekly doubles competition on the grass courts at the Allenton Sports Club’s every Saturday afternoon in a social setting ideal for the first time hacker or the seasoned swinger. Potential players can contact Pauline Taylor (3081752) or Iris Taylor (3083060).

play our pretty expansive style.”

That expansive style has already rewarded college with an unprecedented season, cracking the top eight and recording their best ever finish in the Crusaders competition, and could now see them play in the national finals if they can get the win.

Folau stays put Israel Folau has confirmed he’ll stick with rugby union until the next World Cup by extending his contract with the New South Wales Waratahs until 2015.

Folau, a former rugby league international and Australian Rules football player, made the switch to rugby this season and was a standout for the Waratahs at fullback. He was voted rookie of the year among the Australian clubs in Super Rugby.

Folau was selected on the wing for Australia and has scored three tries in five tests against the British and Irish Lions and New Zealand All Blacks.

ons series 2-1 and have lost the first two matches of the Rugby Championship against the All Blacks, allowing New Zealand to retain the Bledisloe Cup for the 11th consecutive year.

Despite the defeats, Folau said “I’ve had a great experience with the Wallabies.”

“We’ve got a young squad and a great coach and we’re building our game,” he said.

Earl charged in probe head-to-head with family, standing across the field from a relative as his “father’s cousin” Nick Enright coaches the Dunstan side.

Party at Tony’s place Forsyth Barr Stadium is to be renamed for Otago’s first defence of the Ranfurly Shield against Hawkes Bay on Sunday.

The stadium will be called “Tony Brown’s Place” for the day, recapturing the spirit of a previous campaign involving the Otago coach and former player.

“Party at Tony Brown’s Place” was the catchy, weeklong campaign used in May 1999, when the Highlanders played the Crusaders in the Super 12 final at Carisbrook.

New signs will be put up at each entrance and on the north and south stands, while a 9m electronic sign will illuminate the arena with “Welcome to Tony Brown’s Place”.

Keven Mealamu is set to play his first match for Auckland in five years, having been named to start against Bay of Plenty tomorrow.

Hooker Mealamu is joined by fullback Charles Piutau, who has also been released from the All Blacks. Mealamu’s inclusion suggests he might not be involved in next weekend’s test against Argentina in Hamilton, with Andrew Hore and Dane Coles likely to get the nod. “It’s fantastic to have Kev and Charlie back in the team,” said coach Wayne Pivac.

“Keven is a special player and I’m very comfortable he’ll do the job for us and Charlie played for us all last season so he knows exactly what we’re about.” - APNZ

nessman Ian Taylor and enthusiastically seconded by Forsyth Barr chairman Sir Eion Edgar.

“Forsyth Barr thought it would be a wonderful way to celebrate the first shield challenge,” Sir Eion, a former Otago Rugby Union president, said yesterday. “It will be very special; particularly as Tony Brown is such a wonderful person and talented coach.

“When times were tough and we were having trouble paying our creditors, which included Tony’s salary, he was the first person to say ‘Don’t worry about me’.

That’s the calibre of the chap,” Sir Eion said.

The match will also showcase Dunedin technology, with a 30-second pre-match animation of Ranfurly Shield country.

The anti-doping investigation into rugby league could be on the verge of a major breakthrough after Canberra winger Sandor Earl was charged by the NRL with using and trafficking banned peptides. Earl, 23, is the first NRL player charged in the seven-month probe by the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority and he is facing a possible four years to life ban on the trafficking count.

However NRL chief executive Dave Smith said Earl had agreed to continue to assist the ASADA investigation and was seeking the benefit of substantial assistance provisions for doing so. That means he could get a much-reduced ban if he supplies information which implicates others. - AP

Murray wins Defending champion Andy Murray put on a US Open late night special, taking out his frustrations with the chaotic rain and event schedulers but two-time winner Venus Williams slipped to defeat.

Third-seeded Murray needed just 98 minutes to get past Frenchman Michael Llodra 6-2 6-4 6-3. The match was delayed four hours by rain. That delay was compounded when 2009 champion Juan Martin del Potro and Guillermo Garcia-Lopez battled out a fourand-a-quarter hour dogfight on Arthur Ashe Stadium, which the Argentine sixth seed won. - AP

Ashburton College can clinch a clean sweep in the South Canterbury Secondary Schools basketball league tonight with teams in all four finals in Timaru.

The Ashburton College senior boys won the Mid Canterbury open men’s grade and now have their sights set on the South Canterbury senior boys’ premiership, but will need to do something they haven’t been able to do all season to do so, beat Timaru Boys High School.

The Ashburton College senior girls take the court at the same time to play Craighead in the premiership final. College claimed the honours in the round robin and will be wary of a much-improved opposition in the final.

The junior boys also meet Timaru Boys in the final and will then travel to Dunedin for the South Island Secondary Schools junior boys’ basketball tournament, which starts tomorrow.

The junior girls are first on court up against Roncalli and then also make the trek to Dunedin. The senior teams head to Nelson for their South Island tournament on Tuesday.

Masters lead local charge for trophies

No regrets for Alker

Three Mid Canterbury teams are chasing all-important wins as the Mainland Football season comes to a close.

The Mid Canterbury Masters have a return match against Selwyn needing only to repeat last week’s effort and clinch the division three league

title. The Masters won 9-2 over Selwyn in Ashburton last week cementing a superior goal difference from league rivals FC Twnety11 now all they need is the follow-up win over Selwyn and they title is theirs.

FC Twenty11 had a 2-0 win over Papanui-Redwood and will need a repeat dose and for a big turnaround from Selwyn

to steal the title from Mid Canterbury.

Mid Canterbury Eastern host Burwood U21 with the winner advancing to the division four cup final. It is a must win for Mid Canterbury as a draw will not do with Burwood holding a better goal difference.

The Mid Canterbury Youth XI finished their 18th grade

division one season with a win, handed the three points from a default by St Andrews ahead of the start of the South Island Secondary School tournament week on Monday.

Down in third division Mid Canterbury host Christchurch Boys’ 3rd XI needing the win and for Burwood A to lose to Parklands to finish on top.

■ ROWING

No surprises for Murray at world champs Olympic champion Eric Murray says there should be no references to “bad luck” or “surprise” that seven New Zealand crews out of 10 have missed finals so far at the rowing world championships.

Four more crews - the men’s and women’s doubles, the men’s lightweight four and single sculler Emma Twigg - are expected to progress. That would

give New Zealand a 50:50 split of finalists across its 14 crews; still an excellent return by international standards.

Murray says when the crews left home, the results - through Rowing New Zealand’s indepth analysis programme could be predicted.

“Our team has a great system of racing each other and therefore getting results relative to

each other. What we were doing back in New Zealand has been reflected in what has happened here, like with the quads and the men’s four [missing out]. That’s the way New Zealand rowing works. We know how we’re going to go. It’s not like we turn up and go ‘Aw, we’d like to make the final’. You should already know if you can or you can’t.

“For instance [through the analysis programme] Hamish [Bond] and I know we should be able to win. It’s not like we’re sitting here saying we need luck, a good tail wind or not to be racing this or that crew. You know you can be world champions before you turn up.”

Murray is thriving on their unbeaten run. It stands to extend to a record 16.

There is no time for Steven Alker to look back ruefully on what might have been.

Alker missed out on a PGA Tour card by one place last week and now has to dust himself off to get ready for the Web.com Tour final series, which begins in Indiana today.

The 43-year-old - who in the final tournament of the tour’s regular season slipped agonisingly outside the all-important top 25 on the money list - has everything to play for as he looks to return to the PGA Tour for the first time since 2003.

Alker will be looking to get off to a good start in the finals at the Hotel Fitness Championship at the Sycamore Hills Golf Club in Fort Wayne, with that and three further tournaments deciding his fate.

The Web.com Tour final series bring together the top 75 money earners on the Web.com Tour order of merit. - APNZ

■ AMERICA’S CUP

Wanted Wanted the right Wanted person the right for the job person the right forperson the job for theyour job Place

Yachting fans love race graphics

BY DANA JOHANNSEN In an event that has delivered a succession of flops, there is one aspect of the 34th America’s Cup that has everyone raving - the broadcast coverage.

As part of Larry Ellison’s grand plans to overhaul the event and create a product that, to use Russell Coutts’ oft-quoted analogy, will appeal to the Facebook generation rather than the Flintstones generation, organisers were intent on making the America’s Cup a televisionfriendly event with appeal beyond diehard sailors.

Some traditionalists were derisive. They did not want to see the event morph into some crass made-for-TV spectacular. But when those first pictures of Team New Zealand and Luna Rossa flying around the San Francisco Bay course were beamed into homes, few could argue the television coverage of the racing did add to the event.

Along with the picturesque aerial shots of San Francisco Bay, a sophisticated network of cameras, sensors and computers took the viewer inside the sport for the first time.

The on-air product is the culmination of a massive broadcast technology project undertaken by some of the

sharpest brains in the business. The single biggest investment in the America’s Cup, which is estimated to have cost event management well in excess of $100 million, was in broadcasting. They established their own production unit - ACTV - which is supplying television networks with its broadcast package.

ACTV executive producer Denis Harvey, the former head of production and sport at TVNZ, said past coverage of America’s Cups had been little more than watching white dots out in the middle of the ocean, or computerised graphics tracking their way around the course - so his team started with the mantra that they wanted to allow the viewer to see the sport inside out.

To capture the action each boat has seven cameras installed, while 14 on-board microphones pick up the chatter among the crew. Three helicopters give an aerial view, while on the water two cameras follow the action on chase-boats.

“There’s no other sport that allows you to get that close,” said Harvey.

“Sometimes the sailors don’t like that very much, but it’s given the audience a whole new viewing experience.”

YOUR STARS

by Forecasters

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20) There is a whole new need for job satisfaction and a sense of purpose, with simply going through the motions no longer enough.

TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) It was only just over six weeks ago that a major income push ran its course, with things only now starting to move on the work front.

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) With things due to get even busier on the work front over the coming weeks, this is a chance to iron out any work/life balance issues while you can.

CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) There is a chance today to push through any resistance to create a communication breakthrough, but some real healing.

LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) The money gods are challenging you to use a smart head for money to confront old fears, doubts or demons.

VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) Time is the great leveller, especially now that the heat has died down, allowing you to get a more realistic take on your professional options.

LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) Just days after Mars left your career sector, Mercury is creating some work tension, bringing a reminder that you’re running a marathon and not a sprint.

SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) Unless someone has a crystal ball they don’t know what you need unless you ask, with a need to avoid making assumptions.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) There will never be enough hours in the day to do everything you want or to be everything to everyone. It’s all about time management.

CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) There’s a chance to both tap into what your instincts are telling you, but also to access all the experience gained over recent years.

AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) Mercury only returned to your financial sector six days ago, but already he is bringing a mix of support and tension to keep you on your toes.

PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 20) While you will have relationship support right through to December, you only have the next 10 days to ensure the communication lines are open.

Hard job ahead of 100th cap shout

James Carr will become the 21st Mid Canterbury centurion when he runs out to play Horowhenua-Kapiti in round two of the Heartland rugby Championship in Levin tomorrow.

“It’s a big occasion but I’m not one to make a big deal about it.

“I’ll be happier to put in a good performance personally and come away with the win than worry about celebrating 100 games.”

The hooker’s first cap was in 2002 against Ellesmere at what was then Jade Stadium and his 100th comes 11 seasons later.

Carr has witnessed a lot of change during his tenure and the 2013 season is no different, with new coach Glenn Moore and a “new mix” taking the field.

“We’ve had some guys come back and some new faces but there is a good feeling among the boys. They all seem to be enjoying the new coaching style and we are pretty fortunate to have the high calibre of coaches and management.”

Mid Canterbury got off to a solid start being the only team to claim a bonus point win in round one beating Poverty Bay but the big test will come trying to back that up on their first

away trip.

“My only concern is that we head up there expecting to come away with a win. We need to start fresh with the same attitude we had last week.

“The results from the first round were close so there is no clear indication how strong any of the teams will be.”

Horowhenua-Kapiti pushed defending champions East Coast all the way but fell short 24-25 in Ruatoria, suggesting they could be a handful at home in Levin.

Mid Canterbury has played Horowhenua four times winning on all four occasions, beating

Horowhenua-Kapiti 48-12 in Ashburton last year and claimed a 34-19 win the last time they travelled to Levin in 2009.

The Hammers laid the platform with the win over Poverty Bay and want to build on that this weekend with Moore only making two changes to the starting 15. The biggest change comes in the backline with speedster Muleli Bula gets a start on the wing, which has halfback Jake Ashby missing out.

Ashby had formed a good combination with fellow import first five Murray Williams but with Moore wanting giving Bula a run, Will McKenzie

gets the start at halfback after impressing off the bench last week. The only change to the forward pack has lock Logan Bonnington start in a straight swap with Andrew Smith.

1 Tokulua Tolu, 2 James Carr, 3 Simon Fleetwood, 4 Grant Polson, 5 Logan Bonnington, 6 Kody Nordquist, 7 Mitch Sim, 8 Jon Dampney, 9 Will McKenzie, 10 Murray Williams, 11 Muleli Bula, 12 Esera Lauina, 13 Peni Manumanuniliwa, 14 Dwayne Burrows, 15 Andrew Fluker.

Reserves: 16 Kameka Reti, 17 Scott Murphy, 18 Andrew Smith, 19 Mark Andrew, 20 Davie Maw, 21 Johannes Lambrechts, 22 Josh Nonu.
