Councillors force bridge rethink

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Ashburton’s highly controversial second bridge project could be dead in the water after five Ashburton District councillors forced its return to the council table.

Ken Cutforth, Donna Favel and new councillors Russell Ellis, Peter Reveley and Alasdair Urquhart presented council chief executive Andrew Dalziel with a notice of motion asking that the pro-

ject be put on hold until it could be debated by the newly-elected council In October councillor John Leadley (now retired), put a motion to council, seconded by Alan Totty, that the council proceed with a notice of requirement for land designation associated with the second bridge that would follow a route along Chalmers Avenue with a new road created through rural land to the east of Tinwald. Five other councillors who are members of the new council –

Darryl Nelson, Don McLeod, Martin Nordqvist, Neil Brown and mayor Angus McKay – supported that motion.

Councillors Donna Favel, Stuart Wilson and Ken Cutforth voted against it.

The council has called an extra-ordinary meeting at 1.30pm tomorrow where the five councillors hope they will have the numbers to overturn the land designation decision. Ashburton Mayor Angus McKay is cagey on the outcome of tomorrow’s vote and what

its success would mean for the district.

“If councillors vote to revoke the motion we’ll be back to where we were before. We had a preferred route and council decided to go to designation on the preferred route so this would leave us exactly where we were before we voted to go to designation,” he said.

Dragon capsicum bidding war

A Trade Me bidding war has started over an orange capsicum with a green stalk shaped like the head of a dragon – with bids already topping $200. Proceeds from the sale of the odd-shaped vegetable will be donated to a Philippine charity to help in the aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan. The capsicum, named the Green Dragon, was picked at Matamata’s Southern Belle Orchard.

The seller said the winning bidder would not only receive the Green Dragon, but if the price reaches $500, a free night at their bed and breakfast would be included as an extra prize.

Rowe: I’d buy the bullet that kills Conrad Michael Jackson’s ex-wife Debbie Rowe has threatened to help a fan of the King of Pop kill his disgraced physician. Dr Conrad Murray was convicted of administering the propofol dose that killed Jackson in 2009. He was released earlier this month. After the medic revealed in an interview that he and his former boss would joke about Rowe’s looks, the former nurse, who is the mother of Jackson’s two eldest children, has hit back. She said that Murray should look out, because within 18 months “a Jackson fan will shoot him dead, and I’d buy the bullet. I wouldn’t shoot him but I’d buy the bullet.”

Mushrooms ‘create own weather’ Mushrooms have an extraordinary ability to control the weather, scientists have learned.

By altering the moisture of the air around them, they whip up winds that blow away their spores and help them disperse. Plants use a variety of methods to spread seeds, and mushrooms have long been thought of as passive seed spreaders, releasing their spores and then relying on air currents to carry them. But new research shows they are able to disperse their spores over a wide area even when there is not a breath of wind – by creating their own weather.

■ REACTION TO MASS BRAWL

Police no-show under investigation

BY MYLES HUME

MYLES.H@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

The Ashburton police are investigating its response to a brawl involving more than 30 people on Sunday, with answers expected in a week.

A local security firm has also been praised for going “beyond the call of duty” to deal with the mass fight for more than an hour.

McDonald’s Ashburton franchise owner Dave Whalley said he was co-operating with police over an investigation into its response to an alleged brawl between more than 30 young men at the McDonald’s and Harvey Norman car park about 3am Sunday.

Members of the public have criticised Ashburton police for not turning up despite calls to emergency services. One witness said he saw a police car with flashing lights drive past the scene at the time.

Mr Whalley said he spoke with Senior Sergeant Grant Russell on Monday and hoped to have a response from the investigation later this week. He

said he would also assist if investigations were launched into the brawl itself.

Mr Russell said he was “treating it very seriously”, and would be talking to staff rostered on Sunday morning to ascertain their version of events.

He had lodged a request with police communications to see if 111 calls were made relating to the incident.

He said it could be until early next week before he had collated the information.

Talbot Security Group managing director Dean Talbot’s cell phone log showed he had called 111, *555 and the Ashburton Police Station four times between 2.57am and 4.18am and his employees had also made several calls.

Mid-South Canterbury area

commander Inspector Dave Gaskin was not aware of the incident when contacted by the Guardian yesterday, so he could not comment directly.

He said emergency calls are dispatched to the national communications centre in Christchurch, and if that was done so on Sunday, he would expect his staff to show at such an incident.

Mr Whalley praised the Tal-

bot Security Group for its handling of the alcohol-fuelled fight on Sunday.

“They went beyond the call of duty really, they are paid to protect our property and people and ultimately neither of those were affected,” he said.

Mr Whalley said such incidents happened only occasionally, but when they did it was frustrating.

Brawlers issued trespass notices by restaurant

Dave Whalley

Verbal trespass notices have been served on ringleaders of the brawl between more than 30 people on Sunday morning.

McDonald’s Ashburton franchise owner Dave Whalley said yesterday he met twice with his hired security firm Talbot Security Group on Monday to deal with several of the 15-30-yearold men involved in the brawl at the McDonald’s and Harvey Norman car park.

“That means we are acting in

trespassing certain individuals that were the ring leaders of the situation,” Mr Whalley said.

Talbot Security Group managing director Dean Talbot said several verbal trespass notices were handed out, along with others issued on Sunday. The notices stand for two years, he said.

Video footage to identify those involved in the brawl had been passed on to the Talbot Security Group.

“Talbot Security has identified a number of people involved in

the incident on Sunday and this information will be passed on to Ashburton police,” Mr Talbot said.

Senior Sergeant Grant Russell, of Ashburton, said he had requested the footage and it would be reviewed before police made a decision to investigate the actual incident or not.

“There’s some footage apparently, which I have asked for a copy of and we will see where we go from there.

“But that doesn’t mean there will necessarily be charges to

According to the New Zealand Police website, there is no legal requirement to serve a written trespass notice, if it is initially done so verbally.

If it is written, three copies must be made of a written trespass notice, with one going to the person being trespassed, one for the property owner and one to be handed to the nearest police station.

■ SECOND BRIDGE OVER ASHBURTON RIVER

In brief Hep A clinic

Bridge debate re-opens

Health authorities are taking up another vaccination drive to ensure hepatitis A is eradicated from Ashburton. Another free vaccination clinic will be held today at Hampstead School for children aged between one and four from 10am-2pm. Health authorities believe there are still 70-100 youngsters that need immunising to stop the spread, and urge parents still to take their toddlers along.

TV series axed TV One will not be making another series of the TV drama Nothing Trivial. Ratings slipped for the third series amid changing trends about the way that people now view television drama. TVNZ confirmed yesterday that the third series of the show would be its last, with two more episodes airing before the series ends on Wednesday December 5. Nothing Trivial was created by Gavin Strawhan James Griffin and Rachel Lang.

The show was set around five characters who meet at a pub quiz and share the characteristic of being unlucky in love.

Hart continues battle

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

If Ashburton’s second river bridge project returns to the debating chamber it will be a victory for the community and for commonsense, says Bridge Action Group spokesperson Diane Rawlinson.

The action group was formed to fight the Ashburton District Council’s preferred bridge routes which all used Chalmers Avenue and several options through Tinwald East.

Last week the group met to work through its submission strategy on the council’s land designation application and over the weekend delivered forms and a fact sheet to about 3000 homes in east Ashburton and Tinwald.

That the council was hold-

ing an extraordinary meeting tomorrow to discuss the bridge project was a welcome surprise, Ms Rawlinson said.

“This is an unexpected occurrence on the pathway. Imagine if we could put this to bed. We’re not against a second bridge, it just has to be in the right place. We believe that right from the beginning the council had chosen a destination and everything was steered towards this.”

If the designation motion was not overturned, the bridge action group would continue to encourage people to make submissions against the route and the group was prepared to take the fight to the Environment Court, she said.

One of the promoters of the notice of motion to halt

Grab a the

the land designation process is councillor Ken Cutforth.

He voted against the original motion and said the community had delivered council a very clear message in the October elections when the top three polling urban ward candidates were all opposed to the second bridge route.

“This was a pretty clear mandate. I’ve always maintained this bridge is the New Zealand Transport Agency’s responsibility. They’ve been laughing all the way to the bank while we’ve been spending a lot of money and staff time on this project,” he said.

He’s confident of sufficient support around the council table tomorrow to overturn the land designation motion.

“We need to focus on the

things we should be doing.

Some staff have been so distracted by this big ticket item and we need to get back to our basic business. We need to get this revoked, to move forward and focus on things that are of more importance. And we need to listen to our community.”

The other councillor to stand up against her peers is Donna Favel. She voted against the original motion and said she stands by that decision.

“I have never forgotten that we’re here to represent the people. What we are wanting is for council to take a breath and listen to the people.”

The notice of motion was also supported by the three new district councillors Russell Ellis, Alasdair Urquhart and Peter Reveley.

Lawyer Barry Hart is continuing his battle against being struck off, taking his fight to the Court of Appeal in Wellington. Hart is seeking leave to appeal against the decision by the Auckland Standards Tribunal to strike him off after he was found guilty of three misconduct charges. The lawyer’s 46-year career in criminal law came to an end last year over the way he charged a vulnerable family.

CCC parties off More cost-cutting at the city council in Christchurch has led to the cancellation of team Christmas parties. Acting chief executive Jane Parfitt said yesterday due to “financial challenges”facing the city council in the post-earthquake environment, team parties, which typically cost $25 “per head”had been cancelled. However, a $10,000 party for all staff was still going ahead she said. That would pay for the council’s 3194 employees “two drinks”maximum, said Ms Parfitt.

■ TWO DEAD IN RAKAIA CRASH

Family in convoy witness fatal crash

By Myles HuMe

Myles.h@theguardian.co.nz

An Ashburton family is in shock at the loss of a 51-year-old woman who was killed while driving in a convoy with relatives near Rakaia on Monday.

Rolleston police are expected to release the names of the two people killed in a major car crash on State Highway 1 in Bankside, 8km north of Rakaia, today.

However, Sergeant Chris Jones, of Rolleston, yesterday revealed one of those killed was a 51-year-old Ashburton woman of Pacific Island descent, while the other was a touring Indian man in his 20s.

Police said it appeared the Indian man, travelling south with his wife, veered into the path of the northbound vehicle being driven by the Ashburton woman, both dying as a result of the impact at 100km/h.

A female relative, who was a passenger in the northbound car, is in a serious but stable condition while an Indian woman, believed to be married to the southbound driver, remains in a critical condition.

Mr Jones said the Ashburton family were heading in a con-

voy to Christchurch before the crash - the woman’s partner was believed to have been driving behind her at the time, his car clipping one of the vehicles involved.

Mr Jones said police spent yes-

terday interviewing witnesses and working to notify the next of kin, which included liaising with diplomatic representatives.

“The police serious crash unit is continuing its investigation into the crash, and the cars are

expected to be inspected by the end of this week,” Mr Jones said.

On Monday police said greasy weather conditions could have made the road dangerous, but Mr Jones said it was too soon to determine the cause.

■ FLUORIDE LEGAL HEARING

Fluoride benefit for poorer families You can tell a lot about a community by its teeth.

Patea and Waverley people tend to have far worse teeth than most, and their towns are among the most deprived 10 percent in the country.

The average 17-year-old New Zealander has 1.9 teeth that are decayed, missing or filled - in Patea in 2010, the average was 10.4 teeth.

These are some of the reasons why their local council

wants to put fluoride in the water supply, the High Court in New Plymouth heard yesterday.

The majority of Patea people did not have the ability or inclination to access oral health care “like other more prosperous and better educated communities”, according to the South Taranaki District Council’s submission to a judicial review hearing at the court.

In her affidavit supporting fluoridation, sole Patea dentist

Sandie Pryor said she did not see some adolescents until they were aged 15 to 17, and one-infive on her books did not attend appointments.

She said a big portion of the community visited her only when they had toothache and extraction was the only option.

Of the 398 people treated

by Dr Pryor in 2010, 89 were community service card holders who presented with pain or infection that generally needed

a tooth extraction.

She also referred about 10 to 15 adults a year to hospital for dental treatment.

Tooth decay was significantly worse in South Taranaki than the rest of the province, the court heard.

The 2006 census showed two thirds of Patea households earned less than $20,000 a year, and nearly half the people aged over 15 had no formal qualifications.

■ GOOD NEWS FOR OTAGO UNIVERSITY

Student numbers on rise again in Dunedin Student numbers are expected to increase at the University of Otago next year, turning around three years of declining enrolments at the institution.

The prediction student numbers would increase by 1.7 per cent to 18,918 full-time equivalent students (Efts) next year was made in the university’s budget for next year, which was tabled at yesterday’s council meeting - its last for the year.

The budget along with the university’s forecast performance for this year - also tabled

at the meeting - added to a picture of the university being in a strong financial position in the face of a challenging funding environment.

In the budget for next year, university director of planning and funding David Thomson said a range of factors were behind the prediction of a small increase in student numbers next year.

These included additional places being offered at Dunedin residential colleges - which included the opening of a new

college in the former LivingSpace building on Castle St - and pipeline growth from increased first-year enrolments both this year and last year.

However, he noted the university remained “in a period which is amongst the most difficult time in at least two decades in which to forecast with confidence”.

“Global uncertainty remains a significant factor, and the extent to which the aftermath of the Canterbury earthquake will continue to impact on enrol-

ments is difficult to call with great confidence,” he said.

The predicted 18,918 EFTS was still below the 18,951 enrolled at the university last year, and 3.8 per cent below the university’s peak of 19,661 students in 2010.

Financial services director Grant McKenzie said setting next year’s budget had been about trying to achieve a balance between maintaining an adequate operating surplus and ensuring academic departments have adequate resources.

Coutts buys Otago dairy farm America’s Cup yachtsman Sir Russell Coutts has branched out to farming, buying a 265ha Omakau dairy farm.

Sources in the Manuherikia Valley told the Otago Daily Times Coutts recently paid $14 million for the farm, which straddles State Highway 85 and the Manuherikia River.

The Central Otago property was owned by Larkhall Ltd and consists of two farms.

When the land was being developed in 2008, the company’s director and spokesman Neil Hamilton said the 160ha farm on the Omakau side of the river would milk 500 cows.

The Oracle Racing chief executive reportedly co-owns more then 2000sq m worth of property in Whangaparoa with private beach access to Tindalls Bay on which a multi million dollar mansion is being built; an almost $1 million apartment in Takapuna; and land and houses near the Crown Range, near Queenstown, including a private nine-hole golf course.

Last week, it was reported parties associated with Coutts were understood to have bought Oracle House in Auckland’s CBD, for up to $50 million.

■ ASHBURTON DISTRICT COUNCIL

Tighter opening hours sought

By Sue NewmaN

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton’s draft Local Alcohol Policy (LAP) is good, but it doesn’t go far enough in the drive to minimise the harm alcohol does in a community, says Canterbury medical officer of health Alistair Humphrey.

The key to reducing harm was in reducing the opportunities to drink and that meant tightening up on the hours bars and liquor stores were open and the times at which liquor was available in supermarkets, Mr Humphrey said.

“Part of our problem is the way we’ve grown up with alcohol, the normalisation of alcohol. We should not be normalising alcohol, it’s not a normal commodity. It is a drug, probably the most harmful drug in New Zealand,” he said.

Rather than bars and taverns opening from 7am until 3am the next day, Mr Humphrey said 8am opening for bars with a 2am closing was more appropriate.

“The 3am closing across the

Alistair Humphrey

board is much later than most other places; 2am would be consistent with most of Canterbury, in fact with the rest of the world.”

When it came to off-licences, he wanted these hours to be 9am–9pm rather than 8am-9pm the LAP proposes.

“The majority of the alcohol burden falls on off-licences, they’re 76 per cent of sales, but

the safest place to drink is in a licensed premise. We don’t want people pre-loading at home late into the evening then coming into town intoxicated.”

There was strong evidence to show that bringing closing time for on-licences back would reduce pre-loading, but this had to be done in conjunction with reducing hours for off-licences too, Mr Humphrey said.

“This won’t reduce business, people just go out earlier and drink in licensed premises. You can still run a pub very successfully if it’s well managed without chasing the drunks’ dollars until 4am.”

The cost of alcohol-related harm in health terms was measured not just in injuries to people while they were intoxicated but also in the hospital admissions from alcohol-related diseases. In the Ashburton District this was about $5 million each year. This does not include emergency service and primary care costs.

The draft Local Alcohol Policy received 205 submissions.

SUBMISSIONS DETAILS ■ On licence trading hours, 7am–3am, 194 submissions, 53 support, 80 against (61 neither agree nor disagree) ■ One-way door policy after 1am – 185 submissions, 28 support, 155 against (2 neither agree nor disagree) ■ Off-licence trading hours, 8am–9pm, 195 submissions, 34 support, 134 against (27 neither agree nor disagree) ■ Club hours, 9am–10pm, 89 submissions – 37 support, 51 against (1 neither agrees nor disagrees) ■ Duty manager must be on site for 20 or more people in clubs and BYO restaurants, 95 submissions – 30 support, 62 disagree (3 neither agree nor disagree).

■ ASHBURTON ART GALLERY

Mid Canterbury’s smaller citizens are midway though creating the biggest art piece in town.

Close to a dozen schools and kindergartens have already contributed to this year’s giantsized schools’ exhibition at the Ashburton Art Gallery, the last to be held at the existing building on Baring Street.

Rather than creating art in

the classroom and hanging it at the gallery as in previous years, children have been invited to come into the gallery and paint their artwork directly on the walls.

Allenton School teacher Stacey Stoddart was at the gallery yesterday helping pupils finish their portion of the artwork.

The Allenton School section is the biggest in the exhibition, and has taken a year of study, a full term of planning, three

days of painting and the help of every pupil in the school to complete.

Eight-year-old Allenton pupil Olivia Pearce said her class had spent five weeks working on a giant moa for their part of the mural, painting the giant bird and filling in its plumage with hundreds of curled paper feathers.

Ashburton Art Gallery technician Simone Barnsdale said it was exciting to see the differ-

ent ways that the groups had interpreted and explored the theme, and watched the exhibition come together. Members of the public can watch work progressing and children of any age can visit the gallery and contribute to the mural.

Mid Canterbury schools and preschools will continue to work on the mural over the next three weeks, with the official opening and family fun day scheduled for December 21.

ACADS fears alcohol preloading

By Sue NewmaN

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton’s Community Alcohol and Drug Service (ACADS) is throwing its support behind the Ashburton District Council’s draft local alcohol policy.

The one-way door policy after 1am might be controversial but it would have a tremendous impact on reducing alcohol-related problems, said the group’s manager Chris Clark.

One of the biggest issues was young people buying alcohol late at night, drinking in private homes and then heading into town after midnight. A combination of earlier closing for off-licences (9pm rather than 11pm) and the one-way door policy however, would encourage young people to pre-load less and go into town earlier to drink in a controlled environment, she said.

For the one-way door policy to be effective it had to apply across the district to ensure people did not leave town at 1pm and travel to country pubs where the policy did not apply, Ms Clark said.

“The idea is for people to go out earlier and to go the premise of their choice. I believe people will start going out earlier; going out so late is a peculiarly Kiwi thing.”

Ms Clark said ACADS would like to have seen the policy go one step further and include a moratorium on the number of licensed premises and where they could be established.

Ashburton Police also support a universal one-way door policy for the district saying it would reduce the risk of people driving to another bar late at night.

It would also reduce the amount of wilful damage and fights that occurred late at night, senior sergeant Grant Russell said.

“A lot of these crimes are nuisance value and preventing people gaining access to bars at any time and wandering between bars will have a positive outcome.”

By holding on to their patrons for the last two hours trading, bar owners would be able to develop greater host responsibility, he said.

One area the police are keen to see bar owners look at is banning the sale of shots of alcohol within 30 minutes of closing time.

■ LOCAL FAMILY MARKS 150 YEARS

In brief

Bailey family’s treasure chest

The Bailey family are sitting on a gold mine – wealth they have been gathering, storing and preserving for 150 years.

It isn’t gold or cash, but something infinitely more precious for future generations: the history and memories of the generations that went before them, carefully recorded and collected for the benefit of great, great, great grandchildren who now number in the hundreds.

As Ashburton woman Barbara Boulton prepares for her family’s 150-year anniversary this weekend, she doesn’t have to dig deep to find the family stories.

Her father compiled a book for his children containing all the family records, with memoirs from most of the family members, and stories, articles and photographs dating back to 1863, when her great, great grandfather immigrated to South Canterbury with his wife and seven children (four more were still to come).

It tells the story of her grandfather’s gold sovereigns that survived two world wars and the Great Depression, of her

Close to 150 years of Barbara Boulton’s family history has been collected and preserved in a book packed with photographs, memoirs, clippings and diary entries.

grandmother’s love letters and 101 recipes for cooking rabbits, and of her great-grandfather’s yellow-fringed, red and purple striped taffeta running shorts.

Mrs Boulton said that she took the records for granted at first, but as she grew older she realised just how much they meant.

“When you’re younger you don’t think much about

things like that.

“But a lot of our children’s generation are scattered internationally, and they haven’t had the chance to grow up with the family places and the stories that we have had.”

She said that her children would never have had the chance to hear many of the family stories if they hadn’t

been preserved in the book.

Her extended family will gather in Templeton this weekend to celebrate 150 years in Mid Canterbury.

This year the reunion will just go back seven generations, as the descendants of immigrants Samuel and Sarah Bailey now number in the thousands.

■ ASHBURTON RESTHOMES CHRISTMAS PARTY

Santa spreads good cheer, devilish jokes

BY GABRIELLE STUART GABRIELLE.S@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Santa has been visiting elderly Mid Canterbury residents for 58 years, so when he paid them a visit in Ashburton yesterday he knew exactly who was naughty and who was nice.

There was both heavenly singing and devilish jokes flying at the Sinclair Centre yesterday, where 140 residents gathered from resthomes across Mid Canterbury for their annual Christmas concert and afternoon tea.

Perhaps the carols mellowed Santa, because despite any naughtiness on the day he promised that there would be presents for everyone this year, because the local residents had “all been lovely”.

Even after close to 60 years on the job he had no idea what to expect when he headed to the Ashburton concert, as he said that the organisers had something new planned for him every year.

This year his task was simple: greeting as many of the residents as he could. Volunteers to co-ordinated the event.

Red zone squatters The housing situation in Christchurch is now the worst it has ever been, forcing some families to squat in empty red zone houses. People being forced out of rental accommodation because of earthquake repairs can now not afford alternative accommodation, welfare agencies say. Said Christchurch City Missioner Michael Gorman: “I’ve never ever known it (housing situation) to be like this.

It is the worst it has ever been.

Usually there is always hope but now it feels as if there is no hope left out there.” Mr Gorman said squatting in red-zoned houses was not unusual for the homeless - but he was now aware of families who were moving into abandoned houses.

Big spenders New Zealand needs tourists who spend more money, rather than just more people through the airport gates, Prime Minister John Key says. A new report on the industry shows despite more visitors coming to New Zealand, they’re staying for fewer days and spending less money. That’s partly because a large proportion of the growth in visitor numbers had been an increase in lowspending Australians. Mr Key said the Government intended to spend half a billion dollars in the next four years on tourism promotion, including an additional $158 million announced in this year’s Budget.

Spending would be focused on key areas, including new markets and high net-worth individuals.

Son shot in leg An elderly man ran for help as his son was shot in the leg during an argument in a Palmerston North street. The man and his 50-year-old son were at home in the Highbury suburb when they noticed movement near the son’s car which was parked on the street, about 10.30pm on Monday.

Police said the men went outside to investigate and were confronted by an offender. The son and the offender got into a short physical altercation while the father, believed to be in aged his 70s, ran back into the house to call police.

The offender then shot the younger man in the leg and ran away.

‘Beautiful little girl’

Mac McIntosh from Princes Court rest home was one of many Ashburton residents who got the chance to meet Santa at the Sinclair Centre yesterday.

A 6-year-old girl who was killed in an Auckland house fire on Monday night was described as a “beautiful little girl” who was always wearing a dress and a smile. The Onehunga house fire was started by a 3-yearold playing with matches, the Fire Service said. Neighbour Joshua Vai said 6-year-old Anaseini Ma’asi, known as Ana, was one of eight children, all under the age of 13.

The second eldest child, a 12-yearold, managed to drag one of the siblings to safety. However, Ana couldn’t be reached until it was too late, he said. “The mother started counting and said there’s one more still in there.” Mr Vai said his friend and neighbour Paul Kautoke had sent him a text message while he was working to tell him that there had been a fire at one of their group of Housing New Zealand flats.

Chocolates and meat products are on the hit-list for many seasonal thieves who come out over the festive season, retailers say.

Shoplifting, which is estimated to cost New Zealand retailers about $2 million each year, increases over the silly season as people crowd into shops to do their Christmas shopping, the New Zealand Retailers Association said.

Northern regional manager Russell Sinclair told APNZ stores often beef-up security measures around this time of the year to deal with the problem.

Opportunistic thefts became more common because more people were visiting shops, and staff were often busy helping customers, he said.

Farmers, one of New Zealand’s largest department store chains, said like many other retailers, shoplifting incidents in their stores increased in the countdown to Christmas.

“It is a sad fact that a small percentage of our customers make the decision to shoplift Farmers stock to either put towards Christmas presents or to sell onto others,” Farmers’ spokesman Nathan Breed said.

The number of security staff at every Farmers store in New Zealand was increased during the Christmas period, he said. “All our staff members are trained to offer good customer service and to be aware of shoplifting techniques to prevent and detect this type of activity.”

In one incident, Williams made off with $145,000 in cash, gold and diamond rings after climbing up to an open window on the second-floor of a home.

Another burglary saw him use planter boxes to reach a landing between two rooms, from which he was able to gain entry. He then took $15,000 in cash, luxury watches and passports, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.

In one of Williams’ more memorable burglaries, court documents show he entered a home after getting on the roof of a garage. After finding a 60 kg safe inside, Williams threw it onto the garage roof, then tossed it from here onto the lawn. The safe had $50,000 inside.

An offer has been placed on a large, rundown Invercargill house which is on the market for just $1, according to reports.

The three bedroom home (right) has been on the market for six weeks without any bids, but an unidentified Southland man has apparently made the first offer.

The biggest hurdle in selling the spacious property, with a classic rimu interior, has been the requirement to move it from the site - at the buyer’s expense.

The new home owner could end up forking out up to $50,000, according to relocation experts.

The Tweed Street property is owned

by The Greenvale Group Limited, which operates the neighbouring Rose Lodge Rest Home and Retirement Village.

Manager Janine Lovett said she’s had a “large amount of enquiries” this week.

“It’s a good solid home. Somebody will get a bargain,” she said.

“We’ve got some people interested who are now liaising with removal teams.

“It all comes down to whether their land is suitable for the house, which is quite big.”

After going weeks with no offers it

now appears someone has taken the plunge, with an unknown man putting in an offer, according to 3 News.

The offer would not go unconditional until early December, the station said, as the prospective buyer had not yet organised moving options.

The house was still listed on auction website TradeMe yesterday evening as being for sale.

Relocatable houses are especially popular in post-earthquake Canterbury, where housing resources are stretched and rent and property prices are soaring.

■ COASTAL ADVENTURER

Wildboy walker hits Mid Canterbury

BY GABRIELLE STUART GABRIELLE.S@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

This time last year Brando Yalovich was 19 years old, living in Auckland, bored and in trouble with the law.

He was diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia at school, where he never felt he fitted in and spent most of his time causing trouble.

When he told his family about his plan to be the first person ever to travel all 6000 kilometres of New Zealand’s coast, and to do it alone, they told him he was crazy.

Today, 295 days, 3753 kilometres, four pairs of shoes and approximately five million steps later, he is more than halfway through his journey and his family couldn’t be more proud.

The 20-year-old has walked, climbed, swum and bush-bashed the entire length of New Zealand’s coast, from Cape Reinga to Bluff, and raised close to $10,000 for Ronald McDonald charities along the way.

Now he is making his way up

the east coast of the South Island, and is expecting to reach Mid Canterbury today, after two days spent in Timaru.

His journey up the east coast has provided quite different challenges to the ones he faced on the isolated West Coast.

Living off “the land, the sea and the good spirit of fellow Kiwis”, he has hunted and eaten everything from wetas to wallabies – but in more populated areas, his fare has often been restricted to fish and rabbits.

He’s not expecting to reach Cape Reinga, where he will finish his adventure, until mid 2014 – although there are rumours that he will take a short break from his journey to spend Christmas with his family.

Beyond that, the question is no longer will he make it through his quest, but what will this young man go on to achieve once it is over?

Wildboy reaches Mid Canterbury today. Follow his progress through his GPS tracker at followbrando. co.nz.

OUR VIEW

Rakaia belongs with Mid Canty Coen Lammers EDITOR

R

akaia people must have a strange sense of displacement after last week’s proposal to change the electoral roles.

The electoral commission was left with an unenviable task of dealing with the massive changes in the South Island population. To fit the new populations within the legal framework for the 16 South Island electorates is akin to fitting a round shape into a square hole.

The shape clearly did not fit, so the Rakaia corner needed to be chopped off.

The post-earthquake movement of people from the eastern suburbs in Christchurch and population growth in Selwyn and the Rangitata electorates pushed both of them well over the 5 per cent limit of 59,679 people.

It was no surprise that the Christchurch boundaries had to be shifted and it was always on the cards that other regions would be affected as well.

Selwyn ended up losing Banks Peninsula and Halswell to the Port Hills district and gained a slice from the Wigram electorate, and is now also likely to include Rakaia.

Even though it must have been a complex issue to sort out, it seems odd that the commission has opted to cut Mid Canterbury in half.

The Ashburton District is a very distinct, inter-connected community and Rakaia is an integral part in this, especially as they are the proud holders of the Watters Cup. The Rakaia people may have ties across the river, but they do not compare to the historical and natural interests they share with the Ashburton District.

Many in the district are not happy with the proposal and will hopefully voice their concerns before the submissions close.

A strong response may force the commission to instead consider some tinkering on the south boundaries of Rangitata and push some of the population into the Waitaki electorate.

Having one dedicated MP for the district seems to be the preference, but there may be a silver lining in having two MPs fighting for Mid Canterbury’s interests.

YOUR VIEW Brawl Our police: No good for magpies: No good for brawls! What are they good for?

Fang ***** In regards to Tuesday’s front page article – the violence and crime after dark is nothing new in Ashburton.

In the past 18 months it has become far worse and our police never stop it. It’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when someone is killed from a violent attack. Maybe the police, council and community will take some notice.

Our town has turned into a gang and violence orientated community that is nothing to be proud of.

Stories of police encouraging people not to press charges

CRUMB

against gang members for fear of retaliation just sicken me.

Our police are quick to give good citizens a speeding fine or seatbelt fine, but are nowhere to be seen when the real crimes are happening.

Maybe it’s time the good people of Ashburton stood up and ran the scum out of our town themselves since our police are so hopeless. ***** I was disgusted, but not surprised, to read of the article re brawl on early Sunday morning.

When are the police going to start doing their job?

This is only one instance of many that I’ve heard of where they don’t respond when called.

And Sgt Russell’s comment stating they were “limited staffed” at that time of morn-

by David Fletcher

ing is just laughable, everyone knows that it’s Ashburton’s worst crime time. I suggest that the Talbot Security guys should be in the police force, at least they show up when needed. Ashburton police force is a joke. ***** Why didn’t the police respond?

I think the town is lucky to have Talbot Security Group as it could have been a lot worse.

Thank you Toot for Tucker The members of The Society of St Vincent de Paul wish to express their heartfelt thanks to all the generous people of Ashburton who responded to

the Toot for Tucker appeal on November 18.

A special thank you goes out to the members of the Ashburton County Lions Club for once again organising a very successful appeal and doing a wonderful job of sorting the collection.

Thank you to the volunteers from the various service clubs, businesses and other organisations who gave up their time and vehicles to carry out the collection of goods.

The good received will definitely help to make a brighter and more enjoyable Christmas for some of the most vulnerable families within our district.

Once again thank you all and well done Ashburton for your generosity. Long may the spirit of giving and sharing continue.

■ INDONESIA

In brief

Letter ‘met expectations’

BY KARLIS SALNA Indonesia says a letter from Prime Minister Tony Abbott in response to demands for an explanation over the tapping of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono’s phone is in accordance with expectations.

Dr Yudhoyono was yesterday set to hold a high-level meeting with some of his closest advisers and senior ministers to discuss a response to the letter from Mr Abbott, which was received on Saturday.

While the contents of the letter have not been revealed, a spokesman for the president said it was “just as we expected”.

“I do not have the capacity to give details about the content of Prime Minister Abbott’s letter,” presidential spokesman Julian Pasha said at the presidential palace ahead of the talks.

“The answer from Prime Minister Abbott is in accordance to what we expected.

“I will stop there.”

He refused to say whether the letter contained an apology.

It was unclear whether Dr Yudhoyono or a spokesman for the president would provide an official response to Mr Abbott’s letter immediately following the meeting.

Indonesia has suspended all co-operation with Australia in terms of strategic partnerships as a result of the spying claims,

India has marked the fifth anniversary of the Mumbai attacks with memorial services and prayers to honour the 166 people killed in the three-day

A Yemeni air raid has killed 12 suspected members of al-Qaeda in the restive southern province of Abyan, the interior ministry says. The “terrorist elements” were targeted as they travelled in one vehicle in the province’s Mehfed region, the ministry said in a statement yesterday. It said an investigation was under way to identify the bodies of those killed in the strike. Air strikes targeting suspected members of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) are frequent in southern and eastern Yemen, where the group remains active despite several military campaigns.

including in combating people smuggling, intelligence gathering and anti-terrorism efforts.

Labor said earlier yesterday that it was worrying there had been no response from Indonesia since Mr Abbott took steps to mend ties between the nations.

But Parliamentary Secretary Simon Birmingham has played down concerns Indonesia hadn’t responded yet to the letter.

“We’d expect Indonesia to take their time, and respond

thoughtfully. That’s obviously what’s occurring,” he said.

Senator Birmingham said the prime minister had opted for a “hand-delivered gesture” by asking retired army chief Lieutenant-General Peter Leahy to take the letter to Indonesia personally.

A spokesman for Mr Abbott said the prime minister “felt it was appropriate that his letter was conveyed with the utmost respect befitting the importance of the subject matter and his high regard for President Yudhoyono”.

But Labor frontbencher Brendan O’Connor said it wasn’t important how the message was sent as long as every effort was made to repair the relationship.

He said if all was well, the Indonesian president would be on the phone to Mr Abbott.

“The fact that it’s taken so long for Indonesia to respond is of some concern,” he told Sky News.

“Clearly they are disappointed with the government’s response to date.”

■ CHINA

Jade Rabbit heading to the moon China will launch its first ever moon rover early next month, state media says, with the vehicle named “Jade Rabbit” in a nod to Chinese folklore.

The name derives from an ancient Chinese myth about a white rabbit which lives on the moon as the pet of Chang’e, a lunar goddess who swallowed an immortality pill.

The rocket carrying the probe will be launched in early December, China’s official Xinhua news agency said yesterday, citing the

State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defence.

It did not give a specific date.

China has previously sent two probes to orbit the moon, with controllers sending the first of them crashing into the lunar surface at the end of its mission.

“China has named its first moon rover ‘Yutu’, or jade rabbit, following an online poll,” Xinhua added.

The rabbit’s outline is said to be visible on the moon’s surface, similar to the West-

ern concept of the “man in the moon”.

Beijing sees its militaryrun space program as a marker of its rising global stature and growing technological might, as well as the ruling Communist Party’s success in turning around the fortunes of the once poverty-stricken nation.

It has ambitious plans to create a permanent space station by 2020 and eventually send a human to the moon, but its technology currently lags behind the United States and Russia.

A plug from a Chinese celebrity has left a Tasmanian farm overwhelmed with 45,000 orders for its lavender-filled teddy bear.

Bobbie the bear has become a hot accessory after Chinese model and actress Zhang Xinyu endorsed his qualities on Facebook in August. Bridestow Lavender Estate, in northern Tasmania, was flooded with orders, unaware of what was causing the influx.

“Our phone system has gone into meltdown. We can’t put Bobbie on the internet anymore because the demand just overwhelms our ability to supply on a daily basis,” Bridestow managing director Robert Ravens told reporters. - AAP

Mental research slows Research into medications to treat mental health disorders has slowed as major pharmaceutical companies cut back investment in this area, US psychiatrists say.

“The companies seem to have concluded that developing new psychiatric drugs is too risky and too expensive,” said Richard Friedman, professor of clinical psychiatry at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York. The pullback came after a series of failures in clinical trials that evaluated antidepressants and anti-psychotic medications, he said. In one recent case, a new treatment for schizophrenia from US drugmaker Eli Lilly (Ly2140023) was scrapped after it failed in a phase 3 clinical trial, leaving the company with a huge loss on the millions it had already invested.

Audit for settlement The former head of the Grafton Anglican diocese says he is totally humiliated for personally falling “very short” in dealing with the victims of sex abuse. Keith Slater, the former Bishop of Grafton, said he felt deep sorrow about the way he had handled claims from dozens of former residents of a children’s home on the NSW north coast. A royal commission is examining the response of the Diocese of Grafton to claims of child abuse involving clergy and staff at the former North Coast Children’s Home in Lismore from 1944 to 1985. The Sydney hearing is focused on the response to a group claim made by about 40 former residents of the home, who claimed to have suffered sexual, physical and psychological abuse. The Anglican church will now review financial settlements to more than 40 alleged victims of sex abuse at the home, the commission heard. - AAP

NZ globally competitive New Zealand has been ranked 17th in the first edition of the Global Talent Competitiveness Index. The index, launched yesterday by international business school, INSEAD, is based on research in partnership with the Human Capital Leadership Institute of Singapore and US-based recruiting company, Adecco. New Zealand ranked number one in the survey’s Business Landscape category which included areas such as labour market flexibility. The country was rated third-highest for regulatory landscape and secondhighest for political stability. In the External Openness category - which included brain gain and qualified labour inflow - New Zealand ranked poorly. But on Internal Openness, including tolerance of immigrants, minorities, social mobility and prevalence of female professionals, the country ranked fourth-highest.

INSEAD said the index, which measures a nation’s competitiveness based on the quality of talent it can produce, attract and retain, placed Switzerland at the top of the ranking, followed by Singapore and Denmark.

“I think that the Japanese steel market is stronger now than it ever has been, clearly the Chinese market has a big impact on it, we seem to be getting good signals from there. We’re confident that things will improve and we’ll see where we go.

“The big thing for it is our margins, so even in these lower costs times or lower price times we do have a healthy margin,” Bohannan said.

Bathurst shares have climbed from 20 cents at the time of the court approvals to close at 27 cents yesterday.

First Denniston coal in March Coal miner Bathurst Resources expects to win first coal from its open-cast Escarpment mine on the Denniston Plateau in late March or early April next year, says managing director Hamish Bohannan.

Bathurst gained Environment Court backing for the heavily contested scheme late last month, more than two years after first being granted resource consents to take high-grade coking coal, prized globally for use in steel-making, in August 2011.

The consents were appealed by environmental groups, led by the Royal Forest & Bird Protection Society of New Zealand, but the court accepted Bathurst could mine, subject to conditions requiring certain parts of the licence area to preserved.

Bohannan told the Australian investor service BRR Media the company hoped “to be moving rock and moving over burden early in the first quarter, and we’re on track to having our first coal at the end of the first quarter, beginning of the second.”

Mining plan approvals were now being given final ticks by regulatory authorities, but no further impediments were expected, said Bohannan.

“The whole concept has become very commoditised and disposable,” she said.

Shoppers are now exposed to a variety of design options, and are also shopping at discount department stores or taking advantage of hand-me-down children’s clothing.

Urlich downgraded her recommendation on Pumpkin Patch to ‘underperform’ from ‘neutral’ in a report last week, citing comments at the annual meeting that there had been no reprieve from challenging conditions, and earnings faced downside risk.

She cut her earnings expectations by more than 20 percent for each of the next three years, pulling down the brokerage’s 12-month target for the stock to 80 cents a share from $1.15.

JK Kids decision to close after 18 years is a symptom of ongoing headwinds faced by New Zealand clothing retailers from international brands via the internet and consumer preference for discount stores and handme-downs, a top analyst says.

Christchurch-based JK Kids yesterday cut all of its stock to half price in a closing sale, saying it faces increased competition from online retailers overseas.

“I have always had quite a cynical view on that whole sector, so I think it just reinforces how awful things are,” said Sarndra Urlich, who follows retailers for brokerage First NZ Capital.

“This whole online thing has really threatened that sector and people who are savvy, which is most people these days,

know how to buy stuff online cheaply.”

The New Zealand stock exchange’s Consumer Index of 18 stocks has edged up 2.6 percent the past year, lagging a 16 percent gain in the 113-member All Ordinaries Index in the same period.

In more straitened economic times, consumers are likely to put money into their mortgages and spend less on apparel, said First NZ’s Urlich.

Spending on clothing, apparel and footwear dropped 7.4 percent in the September quarter, according to government figures, and has fallen for five of the last eight quarters. In contrast, prices in the overall retail index have declined just once in the past eight quarters.

Urlich says the same headwinds face children’s clothing retailer Pumpkin Patch and Hallenstein Glasson Holdings

Home loan affordability worsened across most of New Zealand last month as house prices continued rising, despite the introduction of the Reserve Bank’s lending restrictions. Surveys show a significant slowing of low deposit lending and first home buyer activity since the restrictions began on October 1, but that has yet to flow into a slowdown in house price inflation. Median house prices rose in 19 of 24 regions and hit record highs in Auckland, Hamilton and Canterbury, according to the Roost Home Loan Affordability report.

F

or a country that is surrounded by water it is difficult to understand why our fresh seafood too often prices itself out of our shopping baskets and off our home menus.

There is one seafood, however, the green-lipped mussel that has remained in the affordable bracket. They’re not everyone’s favourite, and there are plenty of people who detest them, but mussels make a great meal.

Combine them with other ingredients and their very distinctive taste is toned down and you may find you can tempt even diners who say they won’t eat them.

■ Cook in small batches so the fritters cook evenly.

■

Fresh mussel soup 1C dry white wine 2 celery stalks with leaves, stalks thinly sliced 1 kg mussels, scrubbed and beards removed 20g butter 1 small leek, trimmed and thinly sliced 1 onion, thinly sliced 1 carrot, peeled, a few slices reserved to garnish, the rest grated 1/2 t curry powder 600ml fish stock 1 t tomato paste 1/3 C sour cream or crème fraîche salt and freshly ground black pepper pinch of cayenne pepper

Zucchini and mussel fritters 250g bottle marinated mussels (fresh mussels can also be used) 2 zucchini grated 1 C plain flour 3 eggs 1/2 Ccup milk 1 small Spanish onion chopped 1/4 C corriander 2t sweet chilli sauce salt and pepper to taste ■ If using fresh mussels steam open and cut in half OR cut marinated mussels in half and set aside.

Is breakfast the ‘most important meal of the day’?

Somewhere between “I never eat breakfast” and “breakfast is my most important meal of the day” may lie the answer to shrinking waistlines.

A buffet of recent scientific studies gives mixed evidence about which morning meal plan may be better for our health.

Officially, “eating a healthy breakfast is a good way to start the day and may be important in achieving and maintaining a healthy weight”, says the US surgeon-general’s call to action to prevent and decrease obesity in children and adolescents.

A July report in the journal, Physiology and Behaviour, concluded that skipping breakfast several times a week might be a reasonable way to drop a few kilos.

Nutritional scientists at Cornell University fed or withheld a breakfast of roughly 2610kj from 24 healthy young adults - half regular breakfast eaters and half skippers.

Then they observed how much they ate the rest of the day.

Although the breakfast skippers started the day hungrier, they did not eat more. By the end of the day, they had consumed an average of 1707kj less than the breakfast eaters.

Also in July, researchers at Tel Aviv University reported a different approach in the journal Obesity. They randomly assigned 93 obese women in their 40s to a meal plan for 12 weeks. The first group ate 2928kj at breakfast, 2092kj at lunch and 836kj at dinner. The second group ate a 836kj breakfast, a 2092kj lunch and a 2928kj dinner.

By the end of the study, participants in the big-breakfast group had each lost an average of 8kg and 7.6cm from their waistlines, compared to a 3.3kg weight loss and 3.5cm decline in waist measurement.

A 2011 Purdue University study of 27 obese men found those who ate three regular-size meals (including breakfast) with lean protein generally felt fuller than those who ate a higher-protein diet split in smaller portions over six meals.

The men who ate regular-size meals had reductions in appetite and less late-night desire to eat, while the more frequent eaters saw little beneficial impact on their appetites.

■ SPECIAL OLYMPICS

In brief

Disabled athletes raring to go

By Myles HuMe

Myles.h@theguardian.co.nz

Five Mid Canterbury athletes embark on their National Special Olympics campaign in Dunedin today.

Three local swimmers and two bocce players will be flying the Mid Canterbury banner, joining another 1604 intellectually disabled athletes at the fourday national summer games.

Swimming trio Liam Bartley, 16, Trevor Nish and David Gosney have been putting in the hard yards at the Ashburton Community Pool during the weeks in the lead up to their first events at the Moana swimming pool in the southern city today.

Shane Pringle (right) and Joanne Inwood have been getting their eye in before playing beginning play in bocce at 1.30pm.

But before competing, the five competitors will be taking part in the two-hour opening ceremony alongside coaches Sarah Taylor and Colleen Lindsay at the Edgar Centre.

Special Olympics Mid Canterbury chairperson Lesley Munro said the local team were “excited out of their skins” last week and would look to build on the success they saw in February at the regional qualifying championships.

That included Bartley standing out in the pool, claiming four medals while the bocce team were the true success story after being forced out of their training facility at the Mackenzie Centre in March this year.

They were without a proper game for almost a year, but won gold in the men’s pair and a women’s pair silver before they combined to walk away with gold in the fours.

However, the team will only send Inwood and Pringle to the nationals to contest the singles and pairs.

The National Special Olympic Games is set to go through until Saturday, with basketball, bowling, football and aquatics to take place before the closing ceremony.

Former V8 Supercars drivers’ champion James Courtney will miss next month’s season finale in Sydney following a shocking crash at Phillip Island last weekend. The Holden Racing Team (HRT) star was left with a fractured tibia and a quadriceps tear in his right leg after his Commodore was hit hard during the opening race at Phillip Island last Saturday. Alex Premat’s out-of-control GRM Commodore hit the driver’s side of Courtney’s car during the race, with the 2010 V8s champion having to be assisted out of his stricken vehicle by the French driver.

Jason Day has issued a friendly reminder to Adam Scott that the red-hot Masters champion isn’t the only Australian golfer eyeing Tiger Woods’ world No.1 ranking.

Setting the stage for an enthralling Australian Open at Royal Sydney, where the two big local hopes have been paired together in a marquee grouping on Thursday and Friday, Day yesterday spoke of his burning desire to reach the sport’s summit. World No.11 Day is oozing confidence after taking individual honours at the World Cup of Golf at Royal Melbourne on Sunday and also winning the team event with world No.2 Scott. - AAP

‘New era’ for Eels Parramatta say they are embarking on a new era as they attempt to put two seasons of NRL misery behind them. The back-to-back wooden spooners have a new chief executive, in Scott Seward, a new coach in Brad Arthur, and a new look line-up captain Tim Mannah insists is ready to put the past behind them. Yesterday the Eels launched their new look jerseys for the 2014, heralding a return, by popular demand, of their yellow away strip - the jersey synonymous with the Eels’ first premiership in 1981. With new signings including Will Hopoate, Corey Norman, Justin Hunt, Lee Mossop and Nathan Peats joining the Eels in 2014, Mannah says it is a chance to begin anew. “There’s a real fresh feeling around the place and everyone has a spring in their step ... there is a real buzz here,” Mannah said.

Challenge for Archibald Ryan Archibald has done most things available to a leading hockey player in his career, but he’s got a fresh challenge coming up. The classy Auckland midfielder is one of four New Zealand players who will compete in the second edition of the Indian Hockey League in January-February.

Strikers Simon Child and Nick Wilson are back for a second year at the Delhi Waveriders and inaugural champions the Ranchi Rhinos respectively, while midfielder Steve Edwards has been picked up by Delhi. However Archibald attracted the second highest bid at the franchise auction, US$71,000 ($86,000) put up by the newcomers to the IHL the Kalinga Lancers. “The Indians are known for playing pretty attractive, open and skilful hockey so I don’t think there’ll be a huge amount of tactical importance,” Archibald said yesterday.

Sport In brief Wild Oats ‘even faster’ She’s been dubbed the Ferrari of sailing and the Swiss Army knife of yachts. But now Wild Oats XI has been slugged with her meanest title yet. “It’s like taking an AK47 to a water pistol fight,” skipper Mark Richards declared at the launch of this year’s Sydney to Hobart yacht race yesterday. Richards said two major modifications have made the 2012 line and handicap honours champion and race record holder even quicker heading into the 69th edition of the race on Boxing Day. And even though one of those changes - a new mast - suffered a “catastrophic failure” on its first outing, Richards is backing supermaxi Wild Oats XI to claim a recordequalling seventh win. “We’re not going to die wondering, that’s for sure,” Richards said.

Umpires ‘too hesitant’ Test great Ian Healy has called on umpires to take more responsibility in the Ashes series when tensions escalate on the field. Healy says the umpires have become too hesitant to step in and nip potentially ugly incidents in the bud, as fallout from Michael Clarke and James Anderson’s first Test stoush continues. Despite allegations Anderson instigated the incident by threatening to punch short-leg George Bailey, Clarke has been the only player fined. “I like an aggressive spirit but if it gets too personal and too violent in its intentions it needs to be looked at,” Healy said.

■ RUGBY LEAGUE

By Michael Brown When the Kiwis went to Old Trafford to watch Manchester United take on Arsenal three weeks ago, it was only natural for them to all think about the next time they might venture to the iconic venue.

It almost nearly didn’t happen, with England only seconds away from a famous victory and a place in Sunday morning’s (NZT) rugby league World Cup final against Australia at Old Trafford.

The Kiwis relocated to Manchester from London yesterday and will step up their preparations for the final after a couple of days of recovery.

Most will try to treat it as a normal week even though it is anything but. Some will approach it in the same manner as the NRL grand final,

After eight straight losses to Australia, topped by three of the most tormenting defeats they’ve suffered, Wales have put the Wallabies in their crosshairs and declared: “Now is the time”. hooker Richard Hibbard and assistant coach Shaun Edwards pulled no punches in revealing how the chance for vengeance has been driving them. Wales have lost to South Africa (15-24) and beaten Argentina and Tonga this month, but far more is invested in Saturday’s clash with Australia at Millennium Stadium. “Let’s be honest, this is a game everyone has been waiting for,” Edwards said.

Chelsea defender David Luiz has not travelled to Switzerland for tonight’s Champions League group game with Basel because of a knee injury, the English Premier League club announced yesterday. However, Fernando Torres was included in the 21-man squad after sitting out Chelsea’s recent matches with an adductor muscle problem. Chelsea lost at home to Basel in their opening Group E game, but they can secure a place in the last 16 with - AFP a draw at St Jakob-Park.

‘Do or die’ for Mundine Anthony Mundine has declared he plans to stamp his authority on Shane Mosley from the outset of what he has labelled his “do or die” fight against the American boxing legend. The WBA International super welterweight title, continued relevance on the international scene and potentially bigger fights are the prizes for the two skilled veterans tonight. A win, and especially if he could become the first man to stop Mosley, would boost Mundine’s ranking and keep alive his dream of a bout with Floyd Mayweather. - AAP

embracing the pressure and occasion.

“I think playing in a grand final of a World Cup will definitely be the biggest game of my career,” said prop Jared Waerea-Hargreaves, who won the NRL title with the Roosters this year.

“You’re playing for your country, your family.

“Every individual has to

play the best game they have ever played [to win]. It’s going to be tough. I think all our boys are going to be ready.”

They will have three training sessions before the final and will also attend the gala International Player of the Year awards on Thursday (NZT) before the team to play Australia is announced the following day.

Roger Tuivasa-Sheck was cleared of a leg fracture, which means the New Zealand medical staff could be more aggressive with their treatment, but the winger is still in some discomfort.

Fellow winger Manu Vatuvei is also still struggling with a groin strain, although he has been running more freely, and second-rower Frank Pritchard is not yet over the hamstring strain that saw him miss the semifinal with England. - APNZ

YOUR STARS

by Forecasters

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20) As the Moon makes his last visit to your work sector before Mars leaves later next week, there is a chance to really nail what it is you’re fighting for.

TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) There is a false sense of calm on the work front this year, with a sense that you can relax going into the home straight, able to avoid any last minute rush.

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) Don’t be alarmed by any financial tension today, instead using it to fuel a new sense of determination and motivation, creating some win/win conditions.

CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) This is when your emotional responses are more likely to find their voice, creating the potential for a communication and/or relationship breakthrough.

LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) The Moon’s nose for money will help you to work smarter, allowing you to channel your time and resources more effectively, picking your battles wisely.

VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) Whether it’s the things that stir your imagination or push your buttons, if it evokes a strong reaction you’ll find some important insight.

LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) Knowing how busy things are going to get, it won’t be long before you look back and wonder why you didn’t make the most things while you could.

SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) It’s human nature to take the easy route unless it’s blocked, which forces you to raise the bar and put in more effort.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) By aligning your professional instincts, passions and fighting spirit you’ll get a better sense of what excites you and of what you’re fighting for.

CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) As well as a chance to address any personal and/ or relationship issues, there is a sense of adventure and wanderlust in the air that shouldn’t be ignored.

AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) It’s not about having a game plan or what choices or decisions you need to make and is simply about where your attention needs to be directed.

PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 20) It’s the emotional and passionate responses that are evoked today that reveal what you want from your relationships and what they need from you.

Youngsters in the limelight

The two-year-olds mobile pace at Ashburton Trotting Club workouts yesterday was a distinctly Jones affair.

With four of the five runners in race four, trainer Mark Jones was assured of at least two of his youngsters finishing in the

first three. He did better than that, driving the Christian Cullen-TK Swift colt Pomme Roy to a win after leading the field from the barrier.

A second Jones runner, Itz Bettor to Win, driven by Craig Thornley, came home second

ahead of the only outsider in the field, the Ken Barron trained and driven Regal Ideal.

Pomme Roy ran the mile in 2.02.8, 800m, 58.1secs and the final 400m, 27.2 secs.

Two races later, Jones demonstrated he had more decent

young horsepower in training with four of his youngsters making up the field in the second of the mile races for twoyear-old pacers.

Mach And Me, a Mach ThreeDelight Me colt took out the second workout mile.

■ RUGBY

Self-belief a major weapon for ABs

BY WYNNE GRAY The All Blacks operate with their motto of taking one game at a time.

For those who live vicariously through their deeds the picture is far broader, the possibilities grow with their success. Consistent achievements hint at potential.

After an unbeaten season with 14 victories secured during the most suspenseful final 84 seconds of their itinerary, the All Blacks have earned their break.

While they take a breather we will naturally think about what’s next.

England are the next opponent, a travelling group we are being told who will be down on manpower and impact next June when they arrive for three tests.

A similar message came about Ireland last year and France this year. They both fell away in two tests but had the necessary dynamism in one battle to give the All Blacks more than some anxiety.

In their middle test Ireland

came within a dropped goal of a draw and but for a dropped pass with the line open, France should have claimed a stalemate at Eden Park this season.

Those matches show the ubiquitous peril the All Blacks talk about in getting too far ahead of themselves.

There is some menace in every test.

But not for us, not for any outside the 23 who might take the field for the All Blacks. We can forecast, we can predict, we can wonder because it is natural.

Day eyes up Tiger’s spot P19

The All Blacks’ best test winning sequence from 1965 to 1969 equals the Springboks’ mark of 17 as the benchmark for tier one nations.

In the big boys group, a careless draw last year with the Wallabies stopped the All Black winning run at 16 instead of the 19 it should have been before they were poleaxed by England at Twickenham.

Now England have three chances to stop the current streak.

Coach Steve Lancaster flew

here this season to absorb some of the All Black methods.

Every international side has increased its fitness programme and most are now closing that All Black advantage.

They know where the All Blacks hurt, it has never been a secret, it’s just that teams have been unable to sustain their control to subdue them up front.

Even more importantly, they do not have the belief the All Blacks accrue from winning.

That is the priceless commodity in their kitbag.
