Shock over mass brawl
Lack of police response mystifies witnesses BY MYLES HUME
MYLES.H@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ
A massive hour-long street brawl in the centre of Ashburton - involving more than 30 people - has left witnesses and a security firm horrified. Bystanders have also raised concern over the police response, saying they never showed despite calls to emergency services and that one police car reportedly drove past the scene. Talbot Security managing director Dean Talbot said
he and three staff members were confronted with a bloody brawl involving more than 30 people in the Ashburton McDonald’s carpark (pictured above) about 2.40am Sunday. The alcohol-fuelled fight, mainly between young men aged 15-30, allegedly lasted more than an hour with some of Mr Talbot’s staff assaulted while attempting to defuse the situation. “The event started about 2.40am with about 10-15 people fighting and then that
crowd has escalated to 25-30 and then it’s continued on and off until about 4am,” Mr Talbot said. “Originally two of our guards tried to break it up but the numbers overwhelmed them and both were knocked to the ground by the mob. “Then a third and fourth came to assist and we have basically moved out after numerous attacks while we were helping them on the ground.” Fighting continued outside the carpark area until about

4am and trespass notices were handed down to many involved. Mr Talbot said it was procedure to call Ashburton police during such incidents, so up to six calls were made but police never showed. “Every single event, whether it’s one-on-one or one-on-seven, we’re told to call police, and in my personal view that was a serious event that could have ended in the loss of a life,” Mr Talbot said. An Ashburton father, who the Guardian agreed to call
John, was picking up his teenage daughter from McDonald’s about 3am, but she was stuck inside afraid she would be caught up in the brawl. He said he was disappointed police did not show, and saw a flashing police car drive past the scene on West Street at the time. Senior Sergeant Grant Russell, of Ashburton, said limited staff were rostered at that hour, but he would “be looking into the events that took place” relating to Sunday morning.

Lyn and Graeme Church must have felt like the turtle beating the hare in Sunday’s Longbeach Coastal Challenge after they were declared the winners of the 12km recreational walk. In fact, the pair competed in the 5km, but arrived late for the start and finished so far behind their field that they were mistaken for the fastest walkers in following 12km race. “We didn’t know anything about it until someone started congratulating Lyn this morning,” said a bemused Graeme Church. “I just felt sorry for the people who won the race and didn’t get mentioned.” The fastest man in fact was Dave Strong, while Judith Crozier and Lori Rusbatch crossed the line together as the fastest female competitors.

Kiwi diners keen on local flavour New Zealand is turning into a country of “localvores” – threequarters of Kiwis prefer to feast on locally grown ingredients when eating out, according to the latest survey of the nation’s dining habits. Industry professionals have backed the findings of the American Express Dining Insights survey that showed support for dishes made with Kiwi ingredients. Of 1000 respondents, 77 per cent voiced their preference for local ingredients when dining out. Twenty per cent were so serious about that preference they opted for food only from their area. Despite the love of local products, just 7 per cent said they were happy to pay premium prices to enjoy them. – APNZ

Hemsworth almost loses finger Australian actor Liam Hemsworth almost lost the tip of his little finger while playing a dangerous knife game during a drunken night out in London last week. Hemsworth was out with his The Hunger Games co-stars following the UK premiere when he decided to show off his skills playing five finger fillet, moving the blade quickly between his digits. However, Hemsworth’s judgement had been impaired by his alcohol consumption and he ended up catching the end of his left pinky. Luckily, the knife hit his nail and didn’t draw blood. “I wanted to impress everyone. I’d had a couple of drinks ... Apparently it was a $US10,000 dollar table too that I ruined ...” – WENN

Technology might make the impossible, possible, but Ashburton District councillors discovered yesterday it still has its failings. In a first, they used Skype to allow an Auckland submitter to speak at its local alcohol policy hearing, but the moment went pear-shaped. The conversation screamed to a halt when the fire alarm went off – in Auckland. The submitter beat a hasty retreat to the street while the councillors cooled their heels. “At least if she’d been in this office and the alarm went off here, we could have continued our conversation in the carpark,” councillor Darryl Nelson said.

More chicken had been thrown on the lawn of his neighbour and more letterboxes had chicken stuffed in and around them. Mr McKay said the neighbour whom he had asked to be quieter was “a very nice woman”. But he suspected friends of her teenage children might be responsible for the chicken. – APNZ

■ POLICE INVESTIGATE FATAL CRASH
Two die in five-car crash at Rakaia BY MYLES HUME
MYLES.H@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ
Two drivers were killed in a five-car crash north of Rakaia yesterday. Two passengers were also flown to Christchurch Hospital with serious injuries from the scene at the corner of Breadings Road and State Highway 1 at Bankside about 1.15pm, 8km north of Rakaia. Contractors were called in to divert thousands of vehicles down Old South Road, a shingle stretch parallel with the highway, until 6pm with Rakaia police and firefighters attending the scene with their Selwyn counterparts. Police yesterday said initial reports indicated a car travelling south on State Highway 1 veered across the centre line into the path of a northbound vehicle. The male driver of the southbound car and the female driver of the northbound car both died in the collision. “Two females, passengers from each of the two vehicles, were airlifted to Christchurch Hospital by Westpac Rescue Helicopter with serious injuries,” a spokesman said.
Three other vehicles were also caught up in the immediate aftermath of the high-speed crash, but no other serious injuries were reported. Drizzle made the road surface slippery yesterday but police say it is not known whether the conditions may have been a factor in the smash. The police serious crash unit
is now investigating. Police are also investigating a fatal crash near Haast yesterday afternoon. A 59-year-old motorcyclist was killed in a collision with a camper van north of the Haast township. Steven Wayne Nottingham, of Christchurch, was riding south on his Harley Davidson with one other motorbike when
he collided with a north-bound campervan on a winding stretch of SH6, police said in a statement. There were no other known injuries. Three people were in the campervan. A serious crash investigation is under way, and motorists in the area were advised to expect delays.

Ewen Macdonald denied parole for second time Ewen Macdonald claimed yesterday he would still be married if he had not been jailed for his secret revenge “missions”. The 33-year-old was jailed for five years in September last year for a crime spree targeting neighbouring farms, which included a vandalism attack on a new home being built by Feilding farmers Scott and Kylee Guy. Last year Macdonald was
acquitted of killing Mr Guy, and yesterday he was denied parole for a second time. The Parole Board said it was not satisfied he no longer posed an undue risk to the safety of the community. At the parole hearing at Christchurch Men’s Prison, he admitted that the attack - in which hateful messages were scrawled on the walls - came af-
ter a period of tension between himself and Scott and amidst feelings of jealousy. Macdonald was seeking an early release to the Christchurch address of a relative who had been visiting him weekly. Macdonald said he now felt sickened to look back on his crimes, which he said were driven by revenge and a desire to make himself feel better.
He claimed he was protecting the family and the farm by not owning up to his crimes. With the help of a psychologist he had changed greatly over the last year, Macdonald told the hearing. The board heard that Macdonald had been working in the community while serving his time at Rolleston Prison, helping to chop wood at a local golf
course and clean up after severe winds in Canterbury. Parole Board panel chairwoman, Justice Marion Frater, said Macdonald was a man “of some notoriety”, and asked how he dealt with that. Macdonald said he had worked alongside members of the public and had experienced no issues. A local employer had even offered him a job on a handshake deal.

■ ASHBURTON WAR VETERAN
In brief
Soldier hopes to replace stolen medals BY MYLES HUME
MYLES.H@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ
Ashburton war veteran Alex Thomson still has no clue who stole his prized war medals, but is hoping to receive replacements by Anzac Day next year. A wave of sympathy and sorrow has met Mr Thomson since thieves broke into his Allenton home last month and made off with five war medals, a laptop, computer and iPad, among other items, before trashing his place. Insurance covered the electronic items, but his missing four British Army and one New Zealand Cadet Forces medal are not so easily replaced. “I’m just waiting on a letter from the police so I can send the paperwork to England to get them replaced, but they will never be the same as the originals,” Mr Thomson said. On Armistice Day just a fortnight ago, Mr Thomson attended a service but felt naked without his prized medals. “The whole thing has been very frustrating and I just hope the replacements are here by Anzac Day.” Following Mr Thomson’s sad story, the Ashburton community has rallied around, with concerned residents approaching him on the street, a visit from victim support and people he did not know calling him to
A 6-year-old girl died yesterday in a house fire that may have been started by another child playing with matches. The blaze was first reported at 4.40pm in Onehunga, Auckland. Preliminary examination and investigation indicated the Oranga Ave blaze started after another child played with matches inside the house, police said in a statement. “This tragic incident shows the importance of keeping matches out of children’s hands and out of harm’s way,” the statement said. The death of the 6-year-old has been reported to the coroner.

express their sympathies. But still there has been no trace of the medals. The break-in has hit home for the 86-year-old. A new security system has been installed but noises around the house sometimes make him anxious. “I do get a bit nervous, but I had the new security system
put in and I always make sure that’s on when I walk out the gate,” he said. The missing medals were a British Defence, Victory medal, a 1939-1960 British Service medal and a New Zealand Cadet Forces medal. Also missing is a General Service medal with a Palestine
campaign clasp which has his service number and name engraved on the edge; “14176838, A W Thomson”. Anyone with information related to Mr Thomson’s missing medals can call Ashburton police on 3078400 or anonymously on Crimestoppers 0800 555 111.

Retailers bite at liquor sale changes BY SUE NEWMAN
SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ
Proposed changes to off-licence trading hours have drawn a sharp reaction from liquor retailers. Currently retailers can sell alcohol for the duration of their trading hours, but the Sale of Liquor Act 2012 will reduce those hours on December 18 to between 7am-11pm. The Ashburton District Coun-
cil proposes to reduce these even further in its new local alcohol policy (LAP), to 8am-9pm and the case for canning that change was made at yesterday’s LAP hearings. Supermarket giants Foodstuffs and Progressive both oppose the change saying they are catering for a changing workforce with changing purchasing requirements. Both wanted the council to allow the new default
hours (7am–11pm) to be trialled before any additional restrictions were put in place. Under the act, the council through its LAP had the ability to set case by case trading hours rather than adopt a blanket approach, said Foodstuffs representative Tim Donaldson. “We now have shift workers, people who are tag parenting and some of those customers are doing their grocery shop on
the way home for work and buying beer and wine with that.” He gave an example of a retailer in a suburban Ashburton supermarket who did between 20 and 25 per cent of his turnover between 5am and 8am. While only about 7 per cent of that was in alcohol, customers expected one stop shopping and if they were unable to buy wine or beer with their groceries they were likely to go else-
where, Mr Donaldson said. “We cannot see the evidence that says restricting hours any more will reduce harm.” Ashburton supermarket retailers did not currently trade beyond 9pm, but if they did extend trading hours, then for the final two hours of the day they would not be able to sell alcohol unless the council went with the Government’s 7am–11pm default hours.
Late night trade will suffer, say rural publicans BY SUE NEWMAN
SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ
If country pubs in the Ashburton District are forced to employ security staff to trade after 1am, some might close their doors to late night business, says publican Max Smith. Mr Smith owns the Mt Somers Tavern and was one of several people who spoke at an Ashburton District Council hearing yesterday on the district’s draft local alcohol policy (LAP). Trading patterns and clientele were very different in country taverns to those in towns and cities, with no late night movements between venues, Mr Smith said. “Our late night patrons fall into three categories – contractors who finish work very late and come in sometimes after 1am for a meal and a drink, hunters who are back out of the hills late and domestic and international travellers who haven’t planned their travel well.” Because that trade was irregular, perhaps once a week, and he and his wife ran the tavern, Mr Smith said they could decide to stay open until 3am as required. A one-way door policy would mean security staff were needed and if this was applied across
the district, his tavern would be forced to close at 1am, he said. “This would have a big impact on our business; we couldn’t financially afford to do it. You can’t plan for this trade in country pubs, there is no pattern.” Dave den Baars, who owns Methven’s Blue and Brown pubs, said there was no evidence to support the success of oneway door policies in reducing the consumption of alcohol. Bars were a supervised drinking environment and restricting access late at night would not stop people who were intent on drinking too much, he said. They would simply drink alcohol purchased earlier at an off-licence in an uncontrolled premise. “Methven pubs support a uniform 3am closing time but not a one-way door from 1am.” Rather than restricting access to bars, Mr den Baars said it would make more sense to ban happy hour, cut price drinks. “You can’t tell me the supply of alcohol at a low price for a set time doesn’t make people consume it faster,” he said. If he was forced to have security on all doors to remain open past 1am, Mr den Baars said that would mean six staff would be needed. His other option was to

close some doors and halve the number patrons he could serve. The Ashburton Trust, however, supports the one-way door policy but chief executive Giles Beal said Ashburton and Timaru should ensure they applied this at the same time. In Ashburton 1am is the target time but in
Timaru, this is 2am. “The different time is likely to create a movement of customers south and that will create problems with drink driving. A common time is needed otherwise this is likely to cost lives.” After submitting that they did not support a one-way door

policy in rural areas, at yesterday’s hearing Ashburton police senior sergeant Grant Russell withdrew his opposition to the policy. Council received 205 submissions on the proposed Local Alcohol Policy. The one-way door policy generated 155 against.

■ ASHBURTON WHITE RIBBON MARCH
Support for anti-violence campaign By GaBrielle Stuart gabrielle.s@theguardian.co.nz
Marching through the dismal rain, more than 40 people took to the streets of Ashburton yesterday to support White Ribbon – and each had a different reason for being there. Ashburton man Graeme Mills would describe himself as an average, every day Kiwi guy; a local engineer, married with three kids. Yesterday he was one of the men who led the White Ribbon march, yet in many ways he did it alone - none of his workmates or friends from his sports clubs were there. “I couldn’t ask the guys to come down here with me. It would be too embarrassing. By just being here we’re saying, yes, we blokes have a problem. Nobody wants to admit that. It’s weak.” However, violence towards women isn’t something that Mr Mills has ever had the freedom to ignore. He is open and matter of fact about his story.
He has seen his mother, his three sisters and his niece abused. As a child he watched his father abuse his mother, and tried to protect his sisters as best he could. As a young teenager he came home one day and found his mother severely beaten and locked in the bathroom. His father had gone down to the local hotel. “One day I went down to the hotel and smacked a bottle on his head. Then I went to the Police. That was when it all changed for me. I swore I was never going to do that to my own family, or to stand by and let it happen.” However that was far from the last experience he had with domestic abuse. Over the years he has seen friends and family members both abused by and abusing their partners, but his own experiences have made him fearless about speaking up. He was skeptical about how much the march yesterday would do to change the culture of violence in New Zealand, as he said often the ones who need

to hear the message wouldn’t turn up anyway. Most important to him was passing on a respect for other people to his own children. “Both my daughters and my son I have brought up to have the highest respect for other people. My daughters are strong women - I’d like to see a man stupid enough to take either of
them on.” One of the women at the march did not want to be named, but had passed on a similar legacy to her children. She was abused by her partner for several years, and said that her young son saw her regularly battered, with black eyes and fat lips. Now, as an adult, she said that
he was the first to stand up when he saw his mates being abusive. “All his friends hit their partners, but he has never hit his girlfriend. He won’t let it happen. If he sees it he’ll step in and give the guy a crack. “I told him he had to be careful interfering, because she might have deserved it. But he said ‘Mum, no one deserves that’.”
Locals pledge to speak out against family violence By GaBrielle Stuart gabrielle.s@theguardian.co.nz

In Ashburton yesterday horns were tooted, a pledge was signed and locals turned out to march the streets in support of White Ribbon day, a campaign led by men to address violence towards women. More than 40 locals joined the march down East Street yesterday, including local volunteers, police officers and politicians like Mayor Angus McKay and MP Jo Goodhew. This year’s month-long international campaign centred around signing the White Ribbon pledge, promising never to commit, condone or remain
silent about violence towards women. Local White Ribbon volunteer Christine Richards said that it was just a small step toward changing a culture of violence, but every step was progress. “It’s a work in progress. We know it’s going to take a long time to change people’s attitudes, but we’re prepared to keep at it.” Police in New Zealand investigated 89,947 family violence occurrences in the year ending June 30, 2013, with over 60 per cent involving incidents between partners. Police Commissioner Peter Marshall said that police were
recording family violence investigations at the rate of approximately 240 per day last year one every six minutes. However he saw the increase in reported cases of family violence as a positive indicator of an increased awareness of and intolerance to family violence. “What we are starting to see is New Zealanders engaging with this issue, and giving voice to the change in attitude through events such as White Ribbon.” The signed White Ribbon flag will be hung at sites around the district throughout the year, and people in the community were welcome to make the pledge and sign it where it hangs.

■ MT SOMERS WALKWAY
Zoodoo run delayed
By SuSan SandyS
SuSan.S@theguardian.co.nz
Pinnacles Hut’s longdrop has turned into a short drop as poor weather continues to delay the Department of Conservation’s annual toilet emptying operation. Department staff had yesterday scheduled to pump out the toilet, a job which involves about nine helicopter trips, five DOC
staff and others, and costs about $5000 to empty the approximate 3000 litres of waste. A department spokesperson said yesterday the job had been delayed for the third time this spring, due to poor weather. “We just plan to do it this time of year and we just wait until we get the weather, so there’s no problems there,” he said. As long as the job was done before Christmas there were no
concerns, and no trampers had complained. However, Mt Somers Walkways Society spokesperson Lew Shaw said the longdrop was almost overflowing. “If it’s full, it’s not really a longdrop, it’s a short drop,” Mr Shaw said. He had himself, as a DOC helper in the past, been on the “zoodoo run”. It worked by the waste be-
ing pumped into a pressurised drum which was slung beneath the helicopter and flown out to Staveley, where a waste takeaway truck awaited. He said the job quite often “sneaks up on them (DOC)”. The 19-bed Pinnacles Hut is on the Mt Somers Track, and receives high usage over the summer period, alongside fellow track hut, the Woolshed Creek hut.

■ HINDS LIONS
High hopes for big fish Hinds Lions Club sea fishing competition organisers are hoping for a record turnout for the third annual competition this year. Organising committee member Angus Cameron said the competition, on December 1, attracted over 40 entrants last year, and this year he hoped more than 50 would attend. Fish caught - likely to include rig and elephant fish, and maybe also red cod and gurnet – will be weighed in at the close of the competition at 2pm. The competition will begin 9am, and there will be prizes in adult and junior
sections, including for the heaviest and largest fish caught, and even the most unusual thing caught. “They are not hard to win, all you have to do it catch a good fish,” Mr Cameron said of the prizes. Registration, $10 for adults and $5 for under 16s, is on the day, and at tents below Lowcliffe on the coast at the end of Brogdens Road. Fishing must be from the shore between the Hinds and Rangitata River mouths. Anyone wanting more information can phone Mr Cameron on 0211503189.
■ AA ISSUES WARNING
Cars become sweatboxes Ashburton Unichem Pharmacy Ashburton Unichem Pharmacy Pharmacy AshburtonEast Street East Street Saturday, June 29 Saturday, Saturday 30thJune November 29
Closed up vehicles can become “sweatboxes” in a matter of minutes, putting the lives of children locked inside in mortal danger, the AA warns. Its comments come after a blistering weekend where the AA rescued three babies and a teenager from locked vehicles. The AA receives more than 900 calls a year involving children locked in vehicles - mostly by distracted parents who leave their keys inside the vehicle which is then locked. AA Roadservice’s national manager John Healy said it was usually when packing the beach bags or shopping purchases into the car when people become distracted and found themselves locked out of their vehicles, sometimes with young children or animals inside.
“My advice is to keep hold of your car keys at all times and never give the keys to babies or young children to play with.” Pets are also known for hitting the central locking button, and some cars have an auto-locking feature. “So it pays to have the keys in your pocket,” he said. The AA receives more than 600 calls each year about pets locked in heated vehicles, he said. It was surprising how quickly a vehicle could heat up. Some of the weekend rescue missions happened about 7am, when temperatures were relatively cool. But after about 20 minutes, the car had reached a high temperature, he said. - APNZ

■ ASHBURTON MAN RIDES FOR PROSTATE CANCER
Ashburton Guardian 9
■ CHRISTCHURCH COURT
George’s adventure over Former LWR boss By GaBrielle Stuart gabrielle.s@theguardian.co.nz
Eighty-four year old George Crack returned from his “last ride” over the weekend – but after spending the last two weeks with fellow adventurers, rocketing downhill at speeds of 60km per hour and even a trip in a helicopter, he has decided it may be too much fun to give up after all. After cycling 350 kilometres of mountainous terrain between Mount Cook and Oamaru, the retired Ashburton man returned from his five-day trip feeling “good as gold”. “The ride was very well organised. The catering was magnificent, and we struck very good weather.” The Ashburton man came home from the trip with a lot more than just good stories, as he raised more than $1500 for the Christchurch Prostate Cancer research unit through the ride. He made the ride alongside members of the Oamaru Ordinary Cycle club, many of whom were riding vintage penny farthings and decked out in full Victorian garb, which he said did not seem to pose a problem even in the heat. “Even the ladies in their frocks and hats seemed to master it very well.” He rode in a shirt, jacket and laced
shoes on his 1960s Raleigh bike, which he rode on his first charity ride in 1971, from the tip of the North Island to the bottom of the south. After the cyclists were flown to the start of the trail by helicopter, Mr Crack set off right away and arrived at the first stop close to 45 minutes before any of the other riders. He kept the same pace up throughout the ride, at one stage freewheeling downhill for more than 6km. He “likes a bit of speed”. Even once the ride was over he hadn’t had enough of cycling, and joined a leg of a charity ride the length of New Zealand, a trip that Mr Crack completed more than 40 years before. He ended the ride with his annual visit to the four-day Oceania Cycling championships at the velodrome in Invercargill.

jailed for fraud The former boss of a Canterbury clothing manufacturer that kitted out some of our greatest sporting heroes has been jailed for six years for his role in a multimillion dollar fraud. Ken Anderson, 66, was sentenced today by Judge Jane Farish at the Christchurch District Court. Anderson was the sole director and ultimate shareholder of century-old Lane Walker Rudkin (LWR) when it went into receivership in April 2009. After a 21-month investigation, the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) laid 61 charges against him in 2011 for allegedly fabricating financial documents to gain loans from Westpac. As a result of the fraud, losses of $70 million were suffered. The SFO also laid 21 charges against him for allegedly using fake documents to gain funds with a letter of credit facility from Westpac. Last month Anderson pleaded guilty to three representative charges. The charges state that between November 2006 and March 2009 with in-
tent to obtain a pecuniary advantage, dishonestly and without claim of right Anderson used or attempted to use a document to obtain funds from Westpac, and for credit transactions between another company he was connected with. A co-accused, with name suppression, also admitted a charge of using false documentation to obtain funds under a letter of credit facility, and was fined $2000. SFO director Julie Read recognised the high level of public interest in this case. “We feel for the staff who contributed to the once successful LWR brand and who were then victims of its collapse due to the activities of the defendants. “The SFO hope this result will help deter similar crimes and maintain the integrity and credibility of New Zealand businesses,” she said. Anderson took over Lane Walker Rudkin in 2001 with then-wife Patricia, who, according to the Companies Office, officially ended her involvement with LWR in 2006. - APNZ
■ PURE AMPHETAMINE USE

New Zealand has lost its status as one of the biggest P users in the world, but the Government says the battle against the drug is far from over because 25,000 New Zealanders are still using it. A Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet report showed the rate of pure amphetamine use had halved since 2009, and the drug’s street price was starting to climb. Prime Minister John Key told media that in 2009 New Zealand had one of the highest rates of P users in the world with 2.2 per cent of the adult population using the drug. “Five years later, we have reduced that number to just under 0.9 per cent.” Mr Key welcomed the drop in the
number of users, but emphasised that 25,000 adult New Zealanders were still using the drug, and that was far too many. He added: “P is a problem in New Zealand. It hooks people from all walks of life and creates misery for those who are addicted to it for families and for communities. Quite simply, the Government wants to stamp it out.” The drop in methamphetamine use was believed to be connected to increased efforts to intercept the precursor drugs which were used to manufacture P. The Government had also invested in increased treatment for addicts and drug education programmes in schools.

Enjoy success while you can Coen Lammers EDITOR
I
t has been an eventful week for New Zealand sport that has given us the highs and lows across all codes. The last-minute wins for the All Blacks and the Kiwis were the stand-out efforts that gave New Zealand sports fans an emotional roller-coaster ride, thankfully both with a fairy tale ending. The Kiwis are now heading for a Rugby World Cup League final where they will defend their world title against the favoured Australians and hopefully will be able to again stun the Kangaroos. While we hope the Kiwis will get close, the New Zealand sporting public expects the All Blacks to win every time they run on to the field. The fact that Richie McCaw’s team just became the first professional national team to remain unbeaten throughout a year, demonstrates how tough that task is. There has been much debate this week whether the current crop is the greatest All Blacks side in history. The narrow escape in Dublin yesterday may have put some cold water on that statement, but the way this team came back from the dead on several occasions this year, makes their unbeaten run even more special. Whatever your opinion, we should all savour their success, because even the greatest All Black eras come to an end. At times New Zealand sports fans do not realise how spoilt we have been until the party is over. Just ask basketball fans who are still longing for the days of 2002 when the Tall Blacks mixed it with the best teams in the world. Football fans have also seen the All Whites tumble from the great heights of an unbeaten World Cup campaign in South Africa to the football wilderness. After New Zealand’s double thrashing by Mexico last week, many wonder whether 2010 was as good as it will ever get. So let’s enjoy our successes and remember that nothing lasts for ever.

I had hoped by now that some indication of changed attitude and even, hopefully, it would be evident in council communication but no, same old evasion and avoidance of items that matter. Assurances were given on the financial position, but no provisions shown for some 60 odd million at present for the stadium and then of course the gallery millstone. Yet in that case we have yet another group of “experts” visiting to tell us how wonderful it will be, how much did that cost, particularly as the district owns nothing of value in the sphere and not likely to.

I noted a happy group of councillors heading off for a bus tour. Why? It should be part of every councillor’s duty to inspect and report on district roads and footpaths. I’m tired of complaining about broken glass lying on roads and footpaths for weeks at a time. In my case, I regularly have to have punctures repaired on my scooter. Not always avoidable because of other factors but one of those $100,000-plus a year persons could perhaps spend some time on the basics. If the work is done properly at the top of the heap one can be sure it is also working at the bottom. We need application not flattery and it has always been my contention that councillors should be as financially accountable as company directors and be subject to the law, including being sued, particularly
for stupidity.

hile some commentators think Kiwi dairy farmers should copy their European colleagues on all things environmental, my advice is to think again. In addition to receiving cash subsidies, Europe is no environmental gold standard. That’s not me speaking but comes from the Economist magazine last year. “On Yale University’s Environmental Performance Index, the Netherlands comes 20th out of the 27 EU countries … There is broad agreement on the causes. The Netherlands has the highest numbers of livestock per head in Europe; these beasts produce unrecyclable amounts of manure that pollute soil and water. The country is a transport hub. Lorries and river barges use diesel, a source of particulates. The Dutch have many energy-hungry industries, such as refineries, steelworks and chemical plants. With not much land and lots of people, pollution looks inevitable.” While New Zealand does better on Yale’s scoring than Holland, if you swap ‘Dutch’ for ‘Kiwi,’ then it reads like it has come from the pages of Dr Jan Wright’s big water report. More so since Dutch farms generate twice the nitrogen surplus as we do in New Zealand. On our farms every surplus kilogram of nitrogen lost to water not only impacts what we and our stock need to drink, but becomes an opportunity cost on farmers. That nitrogen, not to mention phosphorous, going down the gurgler is free fertiliser. Being efficient and keeping this on-farm and out

of water saves you thousands of dollars in synthetic fertilisers. It’s an environmental and financial win-win. Following Dr Wright’s report, TV3’s Campbell Live visited two Waikato dairy farms with low stocking rates. While this is on-farm adaptation for drought, it was put up by the show as a solution for water quality. The reporter jumped from clear running Huka Falls to the river meandering past Huntly a decided shade of brown. Being a regular Fieldays visitor I think Campbell Live should have gone from ‘the narrows’ just before Hamilton then Huntly. While Campbell Live overlooked what impact the eight hydro power stations have on the Waikato, not to mention Cambridge, Hamilton, Ngaruawahia and Huntly, it was a useful contribution. Here’s another solution suited to intensive dairy farming on light soils; wintering barns. They don’t come cheap but it means you can still
farm intensively while meeting tough nutrient limits. We can then capture nutrients and irrigate that back over summer to fertilise pasture. That should also get the tick from the animal rights people as we house cows when the weather is cold, but graze them on pasture when it’s warm. We mustn’t overlook the truckload of great work farmers are doing which was all outside the scope of Dr Wright’s report. Dairy farmers have fenced 24,000km of waterways and collectively are spending billions to improve on-farm effluent management. This is why Lake Rotorua improved decades earlier than what the ‘official model’ predicted. This is why our rivers are showing improvement and if anyone doubted the Ministry for the Environment showing river quality is stable to improving, then the Manawatu River proves it. Horizons’ Dr Jon Roygard reported the river shows “some improvements but is still
below standard at some times and locations”. Echoing what Minister Amy Adams has said about urban water, Horizons’ Dr Roygard added that local authority wastewater system improvements under way in six towns will make a significant difference to water quality. That’ll be mirrored in most other regions too. The outlook of New Zealand’s farmers is very different from how the Economist concluded its 2012 examination of Holland’s environment. The magazine’s ‘Dirty Dykes’ article says that despite high levels of air and water pollution, “The average Dutch person is taller and lives longer than most other Europeans...” I wonder what the Officer of Health for Canterbury, Dr Alistair Humphrey, would make of that. I know we can do better by not treating the environment and the economy as an ‘either/ or’ because it’s both.

■ NORTH KOREA
US hints at more sanctions Washington’s point man on North Korea has suggested that more sanctions may be imminent against Pyongyang over its atomic weapons program in the wake of Iran’s nuclear deal with world powers. Glyn Davies, the US special representative for North Korea policy, said yesterday he hoped quickening diplomacy examining when to resume stalled sixparty talks would bear fruit. The talks are designed to push the reclusive state to abandon its nuclear ambitions but have been in limbo since December 2008. “Pyongyang’s attempts to engage in dialogue while keeping its program running are completely unacceptable,” Davies said after a meeting with his counterparts in Tokyo. “If we do not see signs of the North Koreans’ sincerity, if they do not act to demonstrate that they understand they must fulfil their obligations and give up their nuclear weapons, then there is more pressure that will

be brought to bear on them,” he said. North Korea is currently pushing for a resumption of the six-party talks but the United States says it must first demonstrate a commitment to denuclearisation. US President Barack Obama’s administration has repeatedly voiced frustration over its dealings with North Korea but critics have said the issue has faded from US priorities. Analysts have also expressed doubts over the effectiveness of the six-party framework, which critics say allows Pyongyang to make promises it feels free to renege on later. During Davies’ week-long tour of Northeast Asia, Iran agreed to curb its nuclear program for the next six months in exchange for limited sanctions relief, in a preliminary accord led by the United States. Davies warned that it was difficult to draw direct comparison between North Korea and Iran but highlighted the fact that the

An expert in stealth technology has won the 2013 Minister’s Award for Achievement in Defence Science. Assistant Defence Minister Stuart Roberts said the work of Andrew Amiet from the Defence Science and Technology Organisation had made military vehicles and vessels harder for an enemy to detect. Dr Amiet is a fine example of the brilliant scientific minds that make a significant contribution to Defence capability, he said. “Dr Amiet is responsible for developing and evaluating materials with stealth capabilities for use on submarines, ANZAC ships and Army vehicles to minimise their detection by radar, sonar, infrared and other electronic systems, thus significantly improving their operational capability,” he said in a statement. - AAP

Three dead after clashes in Libya Fierce clashes have broken out between army special forces and fighters from Libya’s top jihadist group in the eastern city of Benghazi, leaving at least three soldiers dead. “A violent clash has been taking place for several hours between our forces and an Ansar al-Sharia cell,” Colonel Milud al-Zwei, spokesman for Libya’s special forces, told AFP yesterday. Fadia al-Barghathi, spokesman for the city’s Al-Jala hospital, said three soldiers were killed and 10 others wounded, along with four civilians hurt by stray bullets. Zwei said the fighting - the first of its kind between the army and the Salafist group - broke out after a special forces patrol near the group’s headquarters came under attack. “The army retaliated, sparking clashes with all types of weapons,” he said. The spokesman said fighting between the two sides spread to other districts of Benghazi, especially near a charity clinic run by Ansar al-Sharia in the Selmani area. Ansar Al-Sharia emerged after the 2011 fall of Moamer Kadhafi’s regime, with its military wing composed of former rebel fighters. Blamed for the murders of judges and members of the security forces in Benghazi, it is also suspected of responsibility for a September 2012 attack in which the US ambassador and three other Americans were killed. It denies any involvement. - AFP
France’s foreign minister says the European Union will likely lift some sanctions on Iran in December, as part of a hard-won deal that curbs Tehran’s nuclear program. Laurent Fabius also said yesterday that Israel - which has blasted the agreement as an “historic mistake” - was not likely to launch any preventative strikes its arch-foe “because no one would understand” such a move “at this stage”. World powers sealed the agreement after four days of intense negotiations in Geneva, promising to ease some crippling US and EU sanctions on the Islamic state in return for limits on an enrichment program the West suspects was aimed at developing an atomic bomb. - AFP
Websites targeted Indonesian hackers are targeting Australian police and other government agencies’ websites as payback for spying on their president but no critical police information has been compromised. The hacking group called BlackSinChan is reportedly acquiring and publishing encrypted passcodes of some Australian websites, leaving a message on one site “This is the payback for Spying Indonesia!” Their actions follow revelations last week that Australian intelligence monitored the phones of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, his wife and other top Indonesian officials. However Australian Federal Police said yesterday no sensitive information was compromised when the hackers accessed log-in details of a member through the Crime Stoppers website. - AAP
Body in concrete barrel A man killed his best friend and dumped his body in a barrel filled with concrete to hide the evidence, a court has heard. Anthony Charles Oliver, 38, pleaded not guilty to murder in the Supreme Court in Brisbane yesterday. He is on trial accused of killing Norman Cheney at Esk, northwest of Brisbane, in late 2010 or early 2011 and dumping his body in a river. Mr Cheney’s remains were discovered by children in a concrete-filled barrel on the banks of the Caboolture River in February 2011. The court heard Oliver had been in a relationship with Mr Cheney’s estranged wife. - AAP

JK Kids pulls pin on 22 stores National children’s clothing chain JK Kids is closing down, blaming its demise on intense online competition from overseas websites and the global economic downturn. Owner and managing director Ben Sproat said trading conditions for the retailer, which operates 22 stores in New Zealand plus an online operation, had been difficult for
the past two years. A clearance sale was underway and all of the stores - and the website - would be closed by February, he said. “We’ve seen a decline in our retail store sales and we don’t believe we’re going to see that trend change.” Sproat said JK Kids, which employed around 125 full and part time staff, had decided to
Fonterra copycat As the first anniversary of the Fonterra Shareholders Fund approaches, the cooperative’s opposite number in Australia is looking at adopting a similar mechanism to manage its capital base. Murray Goulburn (MG), Australia’s largest dairy cooperative, last week set in motion a plan which may see it adopt a specialised financial instrument along the lines of the Fonterra Shareholders Fund (FSF) units and list them on the ASX next year. As was the case with Fonterra during the FSF’s formative stages, MG was quick to assert that it would retain its exclusive farmer ownership base if the proposal went ahead.
“do the responsible thing”and close down before its financial position worsened. “Discretionary spending in young families is clearly under pressure,” Sproat said. “In terms of competition we’re seeing quite a big impact from mothers, particularly younger mothers, buying online. They’re able to buy from the UK, the US and many outlets over there are offering freight free if you spend over a certain level.” Many items purchased from overseas websites are also GSTfree provided they are valued at less than $400, prompting the New Zealand Retailers Association to call for the consumer tax to be applied to all online purchases, which it says would “level the playing field”for local retailers. Spending at offshore merchants by New Zealand consumers is growing 10 per cent faster than the growth rate for online purchases from domestic

Telecom to pump millions into tech firm Telecom has joined forces with Sir Ray Avery’s technology startup and is planning to invest up to $5 million in the business, which is developing a wristband that constantly monitors someone’s vitals and uploads and stores the information online. Avery - a scientist, inventor and social entrepreneur - founded medical monitoring business Vigil Wireless Sensor Technologies last year and has received government funding to help bring its products to market. Vigil is also now being backed by Telecom’s Digital Ventures arm. Telecom plans to invest up to $5 million in Vigil in exchange for a 40 per cent stake in the business. Telecom Digital Ventures boss Rod Snodgrass believed Vigil had strong growth prospects and that its technology had global potential. Snodgrass said the telco, which will store Vigil’s cloudbased data, wasn’t only providing investment for the startup. “We can also bring technology capability, networking, distribution, marketing, but we’re
also quite tapped into other telcos overseas.” A wristband which monitors vitals - such as heart rate and temperature - and uploads this information to an online storage system in real time is among the technology Vigil is looking to commercialise. As well as raising an alarm if the wristband detects an event such as a sudden change in heart rate, the system can also provide a broader picture of a person’s health for medical professionals because of its ability to continuously monitor a patient. Avery said Vigil is responding to the challenges of increases in aged populations and obesity across much of the developed world, which is “fuelling an epidemic of long-term health conditions”. “The reality at the moment is the health care system globally is still very much in the stone age,” Avery said. “Smart technologies such as [the wristband] will enable more effective methods of medical monitoring. The potential benefits to New Zealand are enormous,” he said. - APNZ

Fluoridation debate The rights of local councils to fluoridate their water supplies will be decided on legal grounds rather than medical and scientific ones, a test court case on fluoridation heard yesterday. Justice Rodney Hansen told anti-fluoridation lobby group New Health NZ in the High Court in New Plymouth that he was in no position to settle scientific issues in the fluoride debate. He listened patiently to an hour and a half of historical, scientific and medical submissions from the group’s barrister, Lisa Hansen, as the two-day application for judicial review got under way in the court, but advised her politely that the hearing needed to move on to the legal issues.
retailers, according to BNZ’s latest Online Retail Sales Index. The index said Kiwis spent $2.7 billion online in the year to September 30, 40 per cent of which went to overseas retailers. A strong New Zealand dollar, which is trading above US82c this afternoon, has also made foreign websites more attractive for local consumers. Sproat said JK Kids had also come under pressure from New Zealand online retailers that purchased end of line product overseas, which it then sold to Kiwi consumers at extremely low prices. JK Kids was established by Sproat and wife Lisa in 1995 when they spotted a gap in the market for affordable, quality kids’ clothing. He said it was disappointing that the business was being closed down. - APNZ

Police have taken unprecedented action to restrain assets associated with two jailed Capital + Merchant Finance directors but say it is too early to know whether the move will lead to compensation for the failed firm’s 7500 out-of-pocket investors. The Commissioner of Police has applied to the High Court to restrain properties allegedly linked to former C+M directors Neal Nicholls and Wayne Douglas, who are in jail for fraud and misleading investors. C+M collapsed in 2007 owing $167 million to investors, who had then expected to get none of this back.

Canterbury farmer produces top lamb Canterbury farmer Mike Ryan has taken out the 2013 Mint Lamb Competition, producing the country’s best lamb from paddock to plate. Farmers from throughout New Zealand were invited to showcase their quality lamb and compete in the competition that celebrates the quality and variety of lamb available in New Zealand with a focus on increasing consumption of one of the country’s largest export earners. Lambs were judged on the hook at an Alliance plant for best overall yield. The top four lambs in each class (dual purpose, dual purpose/cross terminal, composite/crossbred cross terminal and terminal) were selected as semi-finalists and sent to be tender tested at Lincoln University. Based on the result of the tender test, the top three lambs in each class were selected as finalists. All finalists were taste tested at the Canterbury A&P Show to decide the overall winner of the competition. The cuts of meat were cooked by leading New Zealand chef Graham Hawkes and taste tested in front of show crowds. Judges included Ross Thomson (Alliance Group), Ed Marfell (Hazlett Rural Limited), Rebecca Barry (Novartis) and former Canterbury A&P Show event director, Rae Finlay. Mike Ryan’s winning entry was

The Ryans run a hobby farm of 40 acres with 150 breeding ewes in West Melton. “We are thrilled with the result, it was our first year entering the competition and we never expected to come away with a win. “I started a programme of breeding my own ewes a few years ago; it’s great to see that it is paying off,” Mr Ryan said. The overall winner of the Mint Lamb Competition was awarded the
Alliance Group Mint Lamb Trophy, $1000 and a 2.5 litre Zolvix & Novartis back pack and spray gun applicator. Winners in each class were awarded 1st $300 and a Novartis back pack and spray gun applicator, 2nd $150 and 3rd $100. The agent/drafter of the winning lamb received a boxed set of Gold Medal winning wine from the International Aromatic Wine Competition.

Wool prices hold steady Firm exchange rates, limited volumes and steady buying interest has combined to hold most types at last week’s South Island wool auction firm to slightly stronger prices. Of the 5500 bales on offer 94 per cent sold. The weighted indicator for the main trading currencies eased slightly by 0.24 percent having minimal impact. New Zealand Wool Services International general manager John Dawson reports that the fine end of merino fleece were up to 2 per cent softer with the balance firm, on the November 7 sale. Mid micron fleece was 1 to 3 per cent dearer compared to the North Island sale on Novem-
MARKET REPORT
ber 14, fine crossbred fleece and shears two to four inch to four to six inches were firm to 1.5 per cent stronger. Coarse crossbred full fleece was firm to 1 per cent easier. Coarse shears 3 to 5 inch and 3 to 4 inches remained firm, while 2 to 4 inch wool eased slightly. Shorter types lifted 1 per cent. Oddments generally remained firm. There was good competition lead by China and supported by Australasia, Western Europe, Middle East and United Kingdom. Next sale on Thursday comprises approximately 7200 bales from the North Island.
LAMB
The rebound of household lamb consumption in the UK has continued. Kantar World Panel data show that, in the four weeks to October 13, 16 per cent more lamb was purchased than the same period last year, at about the same average price. The biggest volume increases in percentage terms were for shoulder roasting joints and frying/grilling steak, for which consumption was up by 40 per cent and 21 per cent respectively. Arguably of most importance to NZ in that market is purchases of leg roasting joints, which lifted by 12 per cent over the fourweek period. In the 12 months to October 13, purchases of legs were up by a massive 35 per cent on the lows of a year earlier. This will be helping give UK importers confidence in paying the gradually increasing asking prices for NZ lamb.
BEEF
Favourable pasture growth conditions around the country have made for a very slow start to NZ’s bull slaughter season as farmers opt to hold on to stock and finish them to heavier weights. A total of 17,355 bulls were processed in NZ in the five weeks to November 2, which is 12 per cent down on last year, and anecdotal reports suggest there has been little change to that trend since. The lack of available stock has resulted in meat companies holding schedules firm for longer than usual, despite them not being particularly well supported by returns from overseas markets. The NZ average bull schedule price is currently about 3% higher than this time last year, while NZ dollar returns for bull meat in the US are 8 per cent lower. When numbers do pick up, a hasty downwards schedule correction is likely.
New tool helps simplify hiring migrant workers A new tool produced by Federated Farmers should help streamline the process of hiring migrant workers. The electronic package includes important information for migrants wishing to work in New Zealand as well as their future employers. It is an essential pack for farmers employing migrants because it breaks the process down into easy to follow steps; effectively it is a one stop shop from both sides of the fence. “While we would love to hire capable kiwi workers, there is a shortage of kiwis willing to do the work because there is a common misperception that agriculture is a low paid and low skilled career,” Willy Leferink, Federated
Muck Spreading
Farmers Dairy chairperson said. “To help farmers fill this gap with capable and available migrant workers, we have put together one simple document so that employers can follow the immigration process without the headache. “With a shortage of New Zealanders interested in a career in dairy, farmers are more often looking to hire migrants who are keen to make a life for themselves in our country and industry. As our industry grows and migrant interest increases, we need to upgrade our systems to help them get here.” To learn more about the package phone 0800 327 646 or visit the Federated Farmers website at www.fedfarm.org.nz
DAIRY
Dairy commodity markets across the globe remain very firm. The relatively large volume of whole milk powder traded on GlobalDairyTrade this week achieved higher prices than was generally anticipated by the market. In the EU market prices have moved up, driven by demand for exports. The Algerian government is currently tendering for product which typically creates a surge in demand and European prices have responded accordingly. In the US prices also firmed this week. Milk production data for the US released earlier this week shows steady growth but a substantial supply response is yet to occur. Rainfall has been lower than normal this month in NZ - particularly across parts of the lower North Island and South Island but soil moisture levels in these regions remain about normal. Soil moisture levels in the upper North Island are below average despite rainfall being about normal in this region in November to date.

Kiwi Young Farmers making themselves heard New Zealand Young Farmers members are making waves in the agricultural scene at home and abroad. Former NZYF chairman, Paul Olsen was recently awarded the prestigious agricultural Nuffield Scholarship for his research topic on potato (cropping) production. The Nuffield Scholarship is awarded each year to just a few individuals who have been identified as future leaders who want to make a positive difference to their sector of the primary industry. Only 140 scholarships have been awarded over the past 60 years. “It’s fair to say I was over the moon and slightly humbled given the calibre of the past Nuffield scholars, but very much thrilled to be given the opportunity,” said Mr Olsen, a Manawatu potato grower. The selection process involved a written application and two rounds of interviews. The award includes a cash payment of $40,000 and an opportunity for

Mr Olsen will start his travels in March at the Contemporary Scholars Conference in Canberra, Australia. Later in the year he will travel to the Philippines, China, Canada, United States, Netherlands, France and Ireland where he will look at everything to do with agriculture including their markets’ opportunities and constraints. Cam Lewis, NZYF vice-chairman, has also been quietly achieving after being named the Rural Young Achiever for New Zealand. Mr Lewis, a dairy farmer from Levin, will represent New Zealand while competing for the Australasian Rural Youth Ambassador title at the Royal A&P Show in Feilding, in December. The previous winner of the 2012 Australasian title was 2013 ANZ Young Farmer Contest Champion Tim Van de Molen. The competition will include a panel interview and each contestant must present a speech on a topic given to them that day. Judges will be looking for a solid understanding of the industry, community involvement and general knowledge. Mr Lewis is up against the top six Australian state finalists. Mr Lewis commented that he is very excited about the opportunity. “It’s the type of competition that suites my strengths and is more geared for people behind the scenes in agriculture,” Mr Lewis said. Both of these achievements by Mr Olsen and Mr Lewis are outstanding examples of the up and coming talent in the primary industry and an opportunity to showcase New Zealand agriculture to the world.

■ ASHBURTON SPORTS’ OPENING SEASON
‘An exceptionally delightful day’ By Kathleen Stringer
A
nother interesting image from our “what a difference a date makes” file. It’s a splendid collection of cars, clothes, and cycles with the post office thrown in as an impressive backdrop. But what is it about? We actually have a few of these images, but only one had a short comment “D Thomas opening season Thursday 16th inst 1905”. Looking at an everlasting calendar I saw that there were only three months that had the 16th as a Thursday so it took really no time to find a rather entertaining article about the opening season of the AAA and AC (Ashburton Amateur Athletics and Ashburton Cycling). The writer of the article in the Ashburton Guardian that November must have been really enthused by the event as he wrote almost poetically about it. It’s the sort of article one rarely finds in newspapers as it is very descriptive, he described the “noisy chug chugging of the motor cars”. Member of Parliament, J. McLachan, was asked to speak before the throng set out. In his comments he mentioned that he had voted for the 500 pounds towards a bridge at Maronan, and he hoped that soon there would be “clear and untrammelled track to Timaru”. David
Thomas agreed, adding that the ford at Maronan had only recently caused a mishap to his car. He then went on to say that the amateur principle of sport encouraged a sound mind in a sound body. This may sound a little out of place, but not if one recalls that after a messy break up there were two sporting clubs – one purely amateur and another that had cash prizes. After a short recess, the cash club, which also included athletic and motoring was reformed

that year, so it appears as if Mr Thomas was having little “dig” at the other group. After the speeches the cars “commenced a stage of gentle propulsion”, led, as we can see, by Miss Bullock’s car, which was the first in the district. The goal was Borothat, the home of Mr Thomas, the club patron. There, the group was treated to an afternoon tea (sadly the reporter doesn’t say anything about that). Then, as fancy inclined, they could attend a concert, play
billiards, croquet and tennis (if you look closely at the photo one cyclist, near the pole, was armed with a racquet). After this “exceptionally delightful day”, the party made their way homeward. It does sound a good day and unless someone had thought to put that little piece of information on the back of the photo, we would never have known about it. Makes you feel like going back through all your photos and labelling them, doesn’t it?

Keeping the money safe By Kathleen Stringer
I
subscribe to a number of internet groups to do with clothing, especially Victorian costume. It’s a great way to chat to others with the same interests and see some of the lovely costumes they have purchased or made. You can learn a great deal this way, and occasionally teach others too. One regular contributor asked the question where did men store their money? Wallets, as we know them, are a relatively recent accessory and are more useful for carrying bank notes than coins. Deep pockets made searching for the right coin awkward and besides, most items of evening wear
had few pockets, so what did they do with the money they needed to pay the cabbie or tip a waiter? One of the answers is seen here (left) – a sovereign case. A sovereign is worth roughly a pound, but tended to be made of gold so it wasn’t the type of coin you wanted to lose. These cases, often made of silver, allowed your coins to be stored together in a safe (from pick pockets, or just loss) location. Like pocket watches, the cases would be attached to a chain and hidden in a pocket. They were a convenient and classy way to keep and access your money. Using the same idea, my mother had a small one for parking meter money – any five cent piece (5 cents for parking, wow that IS showing my age!) we found would go into the spring-operated container ready for our weekly Friday night shop. It made life so much easier being able to see and take
out the right coinage; the alternative was to rummage through her purse at night looking for a tiny coin that may or may not be there. As late as 1897 New Zealand did not have a defined currency. In that year British coin became the accepted form of tender and this did not change until 1933 when a distinctly New Zealand coinage (still using the same values as England) was introduced. In 1935 British coins ceased to be legal tender. Gold sovereigns and half sovereigns were produced as late as 1914, so one never knows there may be one or two tucked away somewhere. While the sovereigns themselves are snapped up by coin collectors or investors, sovereign cases are slightly easier to find in antique stores or similar venues. While they may be empty they still make an attractive addition to a gentleman’s watch chain or indeed a ladies’ necklace.

In brief
Mental strength key for ABs By Patrick Mckendry Let the post mortems begin on what was almost the most shocking of results. Where to start? The Irish would be an appropriate place, for they were inspired and they needed to be to turn more than a century of history on its head. The final 24-22 scoreline didn’t seem possible at halftime with the visitors down by 15 points. What for days will seem a most unlikely victory given the hole the All Blacks fell into was a credit to Aaron Cruden’s mental strength and, again, the work of the replacements who have shone in the late drama of the past three weeks. Ireland began with bonecracking intensity and soon mixed it with a skillset we haven’t seen before from the men in green. Paul O’Connell, the giant veteran lock, was using the ball like an outside back, not something he has always been accused of. Who else? Prop Cian Healy, the haka hater, running over the top of Richie McCaw. Flanker Sean O’Brien signalling his intent by shoving little Aaron Smith out of the way in the opening minutes. Adding to this wave of muscular physicality and intelligence was the crowd, 50,000 people urging, cajoling, cheering. They really did feel like a 16th man. Reasons why the All Blacks fell into that green-tinged pit? What if Cruden, who had earlier so magnificently used his left boot to set up Julian Savea’s try, had found touch
late in the first half with the All Blacks only penalty at that stage? With less than five minutes of the half to go, Ireland would have been under extreme pressure. The kick, alas, was short, the chance lost. As it turned out, Ireland finished the half on the front foot, familiar territory in this match. Another virus had gone through the camp, just like last year in the final week against England which finished in defeat. Luke Romano spent a night or two in isolation, along with some of the management. How much difference did that make? Not much, probably. His replacement Brodie Retallick is world class, after all, but Steve Hansen’s men seemed flat. The referee Nigel Owens? One penalty in the first half awarded to the All Blacks suggests Ireland were being extremely disciplined. Owens began the second by penalising McCaw for not releasing the ball in a tackle - a marginal call given his reluctance to penalise Ireland for similar transgressions. Jamie Heaslip was allowed to tackle replacement hooker Dane Coles, not release him, and then steal the ball despite being off his feet. There was a feeling of ‘anything goes’ in this area. These questions will go on and one throughout this week and beyond as this victory is discussed but one point above all others was obvious. Ireland just seemed more up for it. The All Blacks forwards looked timid in comparison. As a result the backs too often looked flat-footed, and although
Ko finishes 21st Lydia Ko is relieved her first tournament as a professional is over. The world No 5 fired a twounder par 70 in the final round of the CME Titleholders in Florida yesterday to finish in a share of 21st place and earn her first pay cheque of $19,600. Ko had rounds of 71, 71, 72 and 70 at the Tiburon Golf Club to finish 11 shots back from China’s Shanshan Feng who won by one stroke from American Gerina Piller. The youngest winner in LPGA Tour history said her professional debut could have been better but she was happy to have her week in the spotlight over with. - APNZ

Jane. The capacity of McCaw and Read to take on yet more work to get their side across the line. The try by Ryan Crotty and the conversion, on the second attempt by Cruden. A remarkable finish, almost five minutes after time was up. It was so cruel on Ireland, a most unlikely of victories for the All Blacks. A perfect season but not a perfect performance. “It wasn’t in the script, that’s for sure,” Hansen said afterwards. - APNZ
Ski season starts in style Water Ski Lake Hood kicked off what is set to be a bumper season on Saturday, inviting skiers from across the talent spectrum to an open day on Saturday. About 20 skiers descended on the lake, including potential new club skier Kristen Harris (left), for the club’s open day, giving novice and even experienced campaigners some valuable time on the slalom course in the lead up to a busy season. Water Ski Lake Hood’s Peter Wood said light winds and warm weather combined to start the season in fine fashion, before the annual December tournament in three weeks and the highly anticipated Oz Kiwi Tournament, set to feature several local representatives, at the end of January. He said the social-focused open day also gave experienced club members the chance to tweak their technique before the season under little pressure.
The Kiwis need most things to go right if they are to win the World Cup final next weekend and the week started well with news Roger Tuivasa-Sheck has been cleared of a fractured leg. The 20-year-old winger has been one of the stars of the tournament, and his eight tries puts him one behind Jarryd Hayne. He took a knock to his shin in the dramatic 20-18 win over England but was able to complete the match. His lower leg was put into a moonboot, and doctor Simon Mayhew was 50-50 on whether it was a fracture or not. Tuivasa-Sheck had an x-ray which cleared him of any fracture but he will still need to prove his fitness to take the field. - APNZ
Profit for NZ Football New Zealand Football confirmed yesterday it is anticipating a surplus of approximately $6 million for 2013, largely as a result of the commercial success of the All Whites intercontinental playoff with Mexico. In addition to the sellout crowd of more than 35,000 for the home leg of the tie in Wellington last Wednesday, New Zealand Football negotiated a significant television rights deal for the playoff with international broadcaster Univision. The deal saw the homeand-away tie broadcast in more than 130 countries. - APNZ
Big bucks for Archibald Veteran midfielder Ryan Archibald is looking forward to a stint in the Hockey India League after being picked up by the Kalinga Lancers during the weekend. Archibald, who has 274 international caps, last appeared for the Black Sticks at last year’s Olympics. The 33-yearold fetched the second highest bid in this year’s Hockey India League player auction, and was offered more than $86,000 for the six week tournament. Archibald said he was confident he would be picked up in the auction but after setting his reserve at $30,000 was surprised the bids went so high. - APNZ
Sledging ‘won’t stop’ Michael Clarke’s impending sanction from the ICC is unlikely to deter Australia from a plan of mental disintegration endorsed by coach Darren Lehmann. Lehmann said he wanted his players to “be aggressive, without crossing the line”, and Australia are giving no indication they’ll tone down their sledging of England ahead of the second Ashes Test. Clarke is to be fined 20 per cent of his match fee by the ICC after he was captured on a stump microphone telling James Anderson to “get ready for a broken f***ing arm”, in an electric climax to the first Test. - AAP

Barry coaching Minto The main event at next month’s Fight for Life is set to become a reconnaissance mission with the revelation boxing coach Kevin Barry will train Brian Minto in the weeks leading up to his bout with Shane Cameron. Barry, whose main focus is developing New Zealand boxing hopeful Joseph Parker, met 45-fight veteran Minto, aka The Beast, for the first time yesterday. The pair didn’t waste any time getting down to business. “He looks strong, he looks in shape,” Barry said. arry says his decision to train Minto was made easier by the fact he is fighting Cameron. - NZH
Bad week for NZ golfers Michael Hendry and Tim Wilkinson were left to rue what might have been at the World Cup of Golf in Melbourne. Hendry carded rounds of 75, 73, 71 and 71 at Royal Melbourne to finish in a share of 38th place on a six-over par total. The New Zealand No 1 finished 16 shots back from Australian Jason Day who won by two strokes from Denmark’s Thomas Bjorn on a 10-under par total. Meanwhile, Wilkinson rallied well from a poor opening 79 with rounds of 71, 70 and 73 to be three shots further back in a share of 46th place. The Kiwis finished in a share of 19th place on a 15-over par total. - APNZ

Batting lets seniors down By Myles HuMe
Myles.h@theguardian.co.nz
The Mid Canterbury senior cricket team has one more chance to tweak their game before embarking on its 2013/14 Hawke Cup season. The senior men’s representative team lost to North Otago in Oamaru by 123 runs on Sunday in their third warm-up match of the season. North Otago posted a commanding 260/6 in their 50 overs, but Mid Canterbury failed to compete and were eventually bowled out for 137 in the 47th over. Coach Garfield Charles said his squad has one more preseason match against Marlborough in Cheviot this weekend before their first Hawke Cup match which will be away against Otago Country on December 7 and 8. “I think we batted really well in the first two games but from what I heard we may have been a bit complacent against North Otago, but the fact we experimented with the batting order may not have helped,” Charles said. “I think this weekend we will look to formalise our batting order and try and get more ac-
curate with our bowling.” Mid Canterbury junior representative teams also took on age-grade teams from North Otago. The Mid Canterbury primary side demolished their North Otago counterparts after being bowled out for 150. They went on to skittle their opposition for 37, winning by 113. The Mid Canterbury Year 6 squad also pieced together a strong performance after posting 192/5, going on to dismiss North Otago for 33. They put the Waitaki team back into bat getting them to 40/5 and coming out with first innings win. The Year 7 side added to the Mid Canterbury junior grade dominance. After posting 121 they bowled out North Otago for 78, winning by 43 runs. However, the Under 15 Mid Canterbury team, much like their senior counterparts, could not chase down North Otago’s 198, falling well short of the total.

Rooney blasts commentators Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has hit out at two television commentators for saying he deserved to be sent off during his side’s 2-2 draw at Cardiff City. Sky Sports commentator Martin Tyler and pundit Graeme Souness, the former Liverpool manager, said Rooney was fortunate not to be shown a red card for kicking Jordon Mutch during the early stages of the Premier League game on Sunday. Rooney was instead shown a yellow card by referee Neil Swarbrick and went on to score the opening goal for United and set up their second goal, which was scored by Patrice Evra.
Rooney, who deliberately referred to Souness as “Sourness”, said more attention should have been paid to an incident in the second half in which Cardiff midfielder Gary Medel appeared to slap United’s Marouane Fellaini. “Just watched game back. I agree mine was bad tackle and ref dealt with it. And Martin Tyler didn’t shut up about it all game,” Rooney wrote on his official Twitter account. “Then someone slaps someone in face and he doesn’t speak a word about it. I like Martin but that’s poor from him. Sourness (says) the rules are u kick out u should be off. Souness (says) medel gives left hook he’s done his job. Haha brilliant.”
Responding to tweets from people querying his spelling of Souness’s name, Rooney added: “ ‘Sourness’ was sarcastic, for everyone biting.” Speaking on Sky Sports, Souness had said: “He (Rooney) should be off, there’s no argument. Why the ref has given him a yellow card is beyond me. “I don’t know what Wayne is thinking of. He’s got an exploding head, we know that. “That’s just borne out of frustration.” However, Cardiff manager Malky Mackay said he had no qualms with Swarbrick’s handling of the incident and United manager David Moyes said: “I didn’t think it deserved any more than a yellow card.” - AFP

In brief City crushes Spurs Manchester City have reasserted their title credentials by humiliating fellow championship contenders Tottenham Hotspur 6-0 at the Etihad Stadium. Beaten 1-0 by Sunderland in their last outing, City took the lead through Jesus Navas after only 14 seconds and an own goal from Sandro in the 34th minute made it 2-0. Aguero claimed a brace either side of halftime, tucking away centres from Navas and Yaya Toure, to take his tally of goals to 14 in his past 11 City appearances. Alvaro Negredo added a fifth in the 55th minute, flummoxing Michael Dawson with an audacious turn and lashing a left-foot shot past Lloris, before Navas completed the rout in injury time. - AFP

Melbourne Heart chief executive Scott Munn says under-fire coach John Aloisi’s job is secure - at least for now. The Heart sit bottom of the A-League table after their fifth straight loss, 3-1 to Newcastle on Sunday. They have gone 12 matches without a win, including five defeats to end last season. But Munn said it would be unfair to single out the second-season coach. “We are all in this to achieve success,” Munn said yesterday. “Whilst John as the head coach is clearly the face of that, we all have a role to play, whether it be me, the football department as a whole, the board, we all have a role to play and we all take responsibility.” Munn said Aloisi remained firmly entrenched in the job and the club was giving him all the support they could. - AAP
Juventus tops Serie A Second-half strikes from Fernando Llorente and Carlos Tevez have secured a 2-0 win away to Livorno to send champions Juventus top of Italy’s Serie A for the first time this season. Elsewhere, Lazio escaped with a 1-1 draw away to 10-man Sampdoria yesterday, while Fiorentina’s hopes of challenging for a place in Europe next season were dented by a 1-0 defeat away to dominant Udinese. Juventus, with whom goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon made his 500th Serie A appearance, now have a two-point cushion on Roma ahead of the capital side’s home game against struggling Cagliari. - AFP
Lille, Monaco on pace Lille and Monaco kept pace with leaders Paris Saint-Germain, both winning 1-0 in Ligue 1 action in France. Pape N’Diaye Souare scored six minutes from time to keep Lille second in the table four points behind PSG with a win over 10-man Toulouse. Champions PSG had won 3-0 at Reims on Sunday. Monaco’s first win in four games puts them third in the table five points off the pace. Rene Girard’s Lille extended their run to nine games without conceding a goal as Nigerian keeper Vincent Enyeama has kept his slate clean for 855 minutes. Meanwhile, Saint-Etienne got back to winning ways at Nice despite the absence of their fans. Around 250 visiting fans were evacuated from Nice’s Allianz Riviera stadium after coming under fire from sections of the home support, who tore up seats and threw them at their rival supporters.

YOUR STARS by Forecasters
ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20) You’re in a much better position to see what needs to be done, what your next steps should be and adopt a ‘just do it’ attitude. TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) Where you may have been skirting around issues or taking small steps, it’s time to do whatever it takes to ensure the communication lines are open. GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) Today you have a chance to really concentrate and focus on the big matters, choices or decisions you’re facing. CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) December is destined to be your busiest month of the year, not only on the work front but with life in general, with a chance now to find the right balance. LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) Keep your finger on the pulse and your ear to the ground from the get go today, especially when it comes to trusting what a nose for money is telling you. VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) Any relationship tension comes on the very day that communication forces come together, allowing you to give those emotional responses a voice. LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) A bit of pressure from the Moon and the emotional responses this evokes might create work tension, but it is just what you need to get things moving. SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) It’s an alignment today between Mercury and Saturn that allows you to get your head around where you need to take a stand and what is required of you. SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) This is a day where you need to have your finger on the pulse and your ear to the ground from the get go, especially when it comes to professional matters. CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) While there may be some discord or pressure, see this as a good thing, for it’s forcing you to work harder to ensure everything is clearly understood. AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) While on face value the financial tension that the Moon’s return to your financial sector creates isn’t a good deal, it puts you in a win/win situation. PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 20) Mercury is evoking a sense of curiosity that is making it hard to focus, but rather than being a problem this is a chance to explore your options.
