Black grass clean-up will be long road BY MICHELLE NELSON MICHELLE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ
A large chunk of the district will be the scene of a black grass “biosecurity response with its sleeves rolled up” for several years, Federated Farmers’ David Clark says. Ministry of Primary Industries (MPI) officials have now approved an incursion programme, following a spillage of one of Europe’s most invasive arable weeds – black grass – found in a consignment of imported fescue seed. When the contamination was identified, the seed was securely contained and transported to the importers, PGG Wrightson’s, facility in Tinwald. At the end of June it was shipped in unsecured seed boxes to a seed dressing plant on Cainbrae Road, near Methven. About 30kg of the seed, containing an estimated “egg cup” full of black grass seed, blew out en route. Because the shipment of seed from Denmark comprised of several sources, it cannot be ascertained whether the black grass which landed in Mid Canterbury came from spray resistant stock. The incursion response will involve spraying the roadside with selective herbi-
cides at least three times a year combined with an intensive surveillance programme set to last up to five years. “The spraying programme will be a scattergun approach, using chemicals that we hope will get on top of it and blitz it,” Federated Farmers’ Mid Canterbury grain chairperson, Mr Clark, said. “Eight or nine times each year rogueing will be carried out.” This will involve workers digging up the noxious plant. However, Mr Clark said during the sixweek delay in informing farmers, herds of cows had been driven up the contaminated roadsides. “They will have trampled the seed in or carried it into paddocks.” To compound matters soil was stripped off the roadside berm and carted away during road works. Federated Farmers and the Foundation for Arable Research are in the process of formally notifying farmers in the incursion area. Affected farmers will also be asked to audit the movement of livestock and attempts are under way to trace the soil removed. The programme would also have to take in water courses and any shelterbelts or trees in the vicinity.

Snake on the plane A tiny Asian snake was found on a Qantas Boeing 747 airliner in Australia, leading to 370 passengers being grounded overnight. Staff found the 20cm Mandarin rat snake in the passenger cabin near the door late Sunday before passengers were due to board the flight bound for Tokyo from Sydney International Airport, Qantas said. Australia’s flagship airline the original jet would be fumigated before returning to service. The species is one which grows to an average 1.2m.
More than 20 purebred goats – most of them pregnant – were stolen from a Hawaii farm on a full moonlit night, with duct tape used to keep the animals from making noise, their owner said. Twenty-three goats valued at a total of about $10,000 were stolen from Kahuku Goats, a 101-hectare farm on Oahu’s North Shore, said owner Keal Pontin. Two bucks were left behind with ropes around their neck and duct tape over their mouths, he said. “It was devastating to us,” said Pontin, 23, who has been goat farming with several friends for about a year. “We’re going to find these guys.”

Obama’s healthy fear US President Barack Obama says he hasn’t had a smoke in years – thanks in no small part to first lady Michelle Obama. Obama was chatting privately with a UN official and said he hoped the official had quit smoking. After the official appeared to ask Obama about his own cigarette use, Obama said he hadn’t had a cigarette in probably six years. He added, with a broad grin, “That’s because I’m scared of my wife.” – AP

■ FONTERRA PAYOUT
Record milk payout tipped Fonterra Co-operative Group, seeking to rebuild its reputation after a contamination scare that proved groundless, has hiked its forecast payout to farmers for a second time in as many months while warning earnings in the first half will be “significantly lower” than in 2013. On the eve of the release of its 2013 full-year results,
Fonterra lifted its forecast payout by 50 cents per kilogram of milk solids to $8.30/kgms on continuing global demand for whole milk powder, adding to the 30 cents per kgMS increase last month. Fonterra kept its estimated dividend of 32 cents per share, despite the prospect of “significantly lower” first-half earnings
in 2014, as it can “draw upon its balance sheet and cash flow performance,” chief executive Theo Spierings said in a statement. “The higher cost of goods will make it more difficult to drive earnings growth in our consumer and food service businesses in the first half of this financial year,” Spierings said. “Prospects for the second half look more
positive for our consumer businesses, but remain uncertain for NZ Milk Products.” The NZ Milk Products unit was embroiled in the false food scare last month, when whey protein concentrate was thought to be contaminated with a potentially dangerous strain of bacteria. Ultimately a harmless bacterium was identified.
Fonterra will announce its 2013 results today, and is expected to miss prospectus forecasts with earnings before interest, tax and one-time items of about $1 billion in the year ended July 31. Units in the Fonterra Shareholders’ Fund fell 0.8 per cent to $7.12, and have gained 2.1 per cent this year. - BusinessDesk

Plenty of life left in hard-working huntaway By SuSan SandyS
susan.s@theguardian.co.nz
$
Kate the 12-year-old huntaway has a lot of life left in her yet. Methven farmer Mike Johnstone hopes to give away the faithful and hardworking yard dog to someone starting out in farming, just as he had been given a dog as he began his farming career over 40 years ago. The 63-year-old said it had been a change in farming practice which had made Kate redundant on his foothills property, representative of what was happening on many Mid Canterbury farms today. Mr Johnstone has moved from sheep into lamb finishing and dairy support. “I love sheep, but there’s just no money in it,” he said. And while the days of the working dog are in decline, Kate’s passion for work is as strong as ever. “She’s been there done it all, I think at times they think they know more than I do,” he said of his farm dogs generally. Kate had been bought by his

She will die working
son for a few hundred dollars as a one-year old, and had been a hard worker ever since. “She will die working,” he said. He had recently advertised Kate and a young heading dog to give away. There were up to 20 calls for the heading dog, and he went quickly, but there were no calls for Kate. “I could’ve asked for money, but really I wanted them to go to a good home and give somebody the opportunity of having a dog,” he said. Mr Johnstone grew up in Dunedin, his dad was a chief sub-editor at the Otago Daily Times, before he was drawn into farming.

■ YOUNG DRIVERS
Tougher testing ‘reducing crashes’ BY MYLES HUME
ASHBURTON LEARNER LICENCE TEST PASS RATE
MYLES.H@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ
Tougher testing is seeing fewer young Ashburton drivers reach the grade in their learner licence tests, but an Ashburton driving instructor believes it is reducing the number of fatal and serious crashes on local roads. Ashburton driving instructor Denise Farr has backed tougher testing which has seen more parents play a part in teaching their youngsters to drive, bolstering their experience and knowledge. It comes after newly released statistics show a decline in young Ashburton drivers passing learner licence tests from 69 per cent in 2009 to 49 per cent last year. That is contrary to a Canterbury-wide trend that has seen an 18 per cent rise from 2009, when a tougher computerised test was introduced, to 67 per cent this year.

However, during a similar time period, young people in serious and fatal crashes have almost halved from 73 to 40 in Canterbury, while the Ashburton District has seen a steady decline for drivers between 1624 from 11 in 2007, to nine last year. Ms Farr said it was about young drivers gaining driving experience, rather than looking
to solely pass the test. “At the end of the day it doesn’t matter how many people are passing, just as long as the (crash) statistics are dropping,” Ms Farr said. She had seen more parents take part in educating their children, ensuring they were prepared for the test and the road. “So rather than practice just before they go for the test, par-
ents are becoming really interested and giving quality education over a period of time which is ultimately making a better driver.” Ashburton District Council project and road safety officer Rachael Boyd agreed, saying more young drivers were “realising you have to put in the hard yards” to obtain a driver licence. She co-ordinated events such as Road Crash Day for Year 12 pupils at Ashburton College which highlights the risks of irresponsible driving. “I look at the crash stats often and I have seen a decrease in the number of teens involved in serious and fatal crashes,” Mrs Boyd said. “I also occasionally chat with kids at the college and they seem to be keeping more of an eye on their mates as well, so we are seeing that change in behaviour.”

On the path to better drivers BY MYLES HUME
MYLES.H@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ
Mid Canterbury’s young drivers remain over-represented in the district’s car crash statistics, even though they are on a steady decline. The statistics suggest we are on the right path to putting better young drivers on our roads, but there is still room for improvement. Statistics from the Ashburton District Council show between 2007 and 2012, drivers between 16 and 24 were involved in 30 per cent of the district’s 565 roading crashes. But what’s most alarming is between that same period, young drivers made up exactly half of the 34 fatal crashes. However, en mass, the number of Mid Cantabrians involved in fatal and serious crashes has significantly reduced from its peak of 32 in 2007 to 21 in 2011 and 26 last year. Poor observation has been the main reason for car smashes in the Ashburton District with 43 per cent reporting this as the main cause, while 28 per cent of crashes were caused by poor handling. The remainder of crashes were due to poor judgment and failing to stop or give way.

■ AMERICA’S CUP
Cheering on Oracle BY SUSAN SANDYS
SUSAN.S@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ
Americans Ron Shepard and Gary deWitt of Methven are among a minority in New Zealand who have been cheering on Oracle in the America’s Cup. Mr Shepard, who is Mt Hutt Ski Area ski school’s head of department, has been watching the racing daily with fellow staff and guests on television in the ski area’s café, enjoying the past two days as Oracle has made life tough for Team New Zealand. However, he said he had been far from a “loud advocate”, and was making sure he did not make himself too unpopular. “I haven’t had any death threats in my in-box,” he said. At any rate, he believed Oracle’s recent spectacular performances on the water were down to the American team having watched Team New Zealand’s form as it notched up eight wins. He said as he was watching each morning in the café, there
Ron Shepard
had been about 20 others transfixed to the racing, including a couple of American guests. It had been exciting seeing Oracle
clock up its fifth win in a row yesterday, but it was making Mr Shepard think about switching his support to Team New Zealand. “At this point I’m always for the underdog, now the Kiwis are chasing Oracle’s success I’ll probably be back watching the Team New Zealand boat, wanting them to pull ahead,” he said. Mr deWitt and wife Libby, who stay in Methven for several weeks each winter, have been watching the racing on television before they go skiing each day. “It’s kind of exciting, it’s a lot more exciting that the previous ones,” Mr deWitt said. He had been cheering on Oracle, and believed the team had improved after a steep learning curve and some fine tuning. However, he would not be gutted if Team New Zealand won. “I feel like I’m part Kiwi, I’ve been coming here since 1978,” he said.

■ MORTGAGE LIMITS
In brief
New rules ruin home dream By Sue NewmaN
sue.n@theguardian.co.nz
An Ashburton couple is counting in thousands of dollars the cost of the government’s changing rules around new home mortgage limits. The couple, who do not want to be named, have lost out on the home of their dreams after being told their bank would no longer approve their loan for 90 per cent finance. While the new loan to valuation ratio limits (LVR) of 80 per cent do not apply until October 1, some banks, inundated by a rush of borrowers, and have had to temporarily close the door to new lending business. And for the Ashburton couple, whose loan had been provisionally agreed, that has changed their home ownership plans. “A week ago we saw a house
and thought, yes that was the one. My wife rang the bank just to check it was all okay and was told no. Unprecedented demand for home loans from people trying to get in before October 1 meant they’d had to close the door until after October 1.” For the couple that means borrowing the $400,000 they needed is now impossible. They’ve had to reset their sights on a cheaper house in another part of town. “We’re absolutely gutted. Yes it will mean smaller repayments but when you’ve been looking at one thing and it goes out the window, that’s disappointing.” Real estate agent Hamish Niles is not convinced the changed lending rules, where banks will be required to restrict new residential mortgage lending at high loan to valuation rations (over 80 per cent
of a purchase price) to no more than 10 per cent of their new housing lending, will fix the overheated property market. While that might have some impact in the hot spots of Auckland or Christchurch, in places like Ashburton, the change simply made it tougher for first home buyers to get into the market, Mr Niles said. “We’ve seen a bit of an upsurge in buyers but here that can be just a swing of a few people. The thing that concerns me is I’m not sure this is being targeted at the right people. First home buyers are the ones we want to encourage, not discourage,” he said. In a market that was already thin on listings, particularly in the lower priced home bracket, Mr Niles said the new lending limits combined with an upsurge in investor interest in
these properties was making it tough for people to get a foot on the homeownership ladder. Nationally some banks are struggling to deal with a flood of pre-approved home loan applications while others are opting to cancel pre-approved low equity loans. And that is leaving thousands of first home buyers out in the cold. Most buyers came to the market with pre-approval for a loan, but that did not mean they would automatically be given the finance they sought. There were still bank conditions to meet, Mr Niles said. The ASB Bank has signalled its clients have until October 4 to buy a home or risk having their pre-approval agreements scrapped while the ANZ and BNZ have said they will continue to monitor their commitments.

paddock on Cleardale Station or catching a fish at Montrose Salmon Farm. Their next challenge was to find their way to Mt Hutt Station, proving difficult for newlyweds Katie and Max who ended up on the Mt Hutt skifield access road, prompting Katie to complain, “this doesn’t even look populated”. Thankfully a friendly local driving down the road was able to point them in the
right direction. On Mt Hutt Station the teams undertook a shemozzle obstacle-style course, having to drag themselves through ropes coated in molasses and a tunnel of feathers, helped by shepherds and their dogs, before a mudslide into a pond, collecting a required number of eggs along the way. There were many familiar faces for Mid Cantabrians - among the Methven and Mt Hutt area residents who had been appointed to help out, and those who unwittingly featured after being stopped while driving to be asked directions. The finishing point for the New Zealand visit was Terrace Downs, and last night’s episode ended as the winning duo reached the high country golf resort. The final results of the Kiwi leg and news on whether a team will be eliminated will have to wait until next week’s episode. Experience Mid Canterbury general manager Nigel Birt said the value of Mid Canterbury’s Amazing Race appearance could not be over-estimated. “Reality shows with massive global followings such as the Amazing Race provide visual exposure of a district and its people to tens of millions of viewers,” Mr Birt said. “Often anyone that is actively considering travel will be stimulated to make their final decisions based on seeing these shows, the landscapes and the people showcased. In last night’s show we saw the incredible scenery Mid Canterbury has on offer.”
Skull found on beach A human skull found washed up on Gisborne’s city beach at the weekend is believed to be preEuropean, police say. The skull was found by people walking on Waikanae Beach near Grey Street, less than a kilometre from the city centre. “The people who found it left it where it was and immediately called police,” said Detective Senior Sergeant Craig Scott yesterday. “It has the appearance of being pre-European and at some point the age of the skull will be confirmed by a pathologist.” - APNZ
Good samaritan Police are trying to find a good samaritan who helped a taxi driver who may have been assaulted in Dunedin on Saturday night. The driver was found lying on the footpath with a cut to his head, but has no memory of what happened to him. The taxi driver, 54, was possibly assaulted after picking up two men, thought to be aged in their 20s, about 8.45pm in the Octagon outside the Night n Day, said detective Matt Preece. He was found about 9pm lying on the footpath at the intersection of Ashmore St and Taieri Rd in a dazed state. - APNZ
Four men charged Four men have been charged in relation to an attack at Paremoremo Prison last weekend. North Shore police have jointly charged the men, aged 21, 22, 33 and 37 with two counts of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and one count of injuring with intent to cause grievous bodily harm. The charges relate to an incident in the prison on Sunday, September 15, in which a prisoner was stabbed with home-made weapons. The men will appear in North Shore District Court on Monday. - APNZ
Trams delayed The return of trams to central Christchurch has been delayed due to the fierce storms which lashed Canterbury two weeks ago. City Tramway general manager Michael Esposito said workers who had been repairing the overhead lines in the central city had been re-deployed to help farmers in Selwyn. Wild wind gusts on September 10 cut power to more than 40,000 homes in Selwyn, Waimakariri, Hurunui and Christchurch, with many farms in Selwyn still needing help. The trams were meant to be making their return for the first time since the February 2011 earthquake in early October. This had now been tentatively delayed to October 21. - APNZ

The Maybes perform Call Me Maybe.
They sang, they danced and above all they entertained. About 55 Ashburton College Centre students performed at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre last night, in the annual lip sync competitions. Arts co-ordinator Lyndal Lane said the depth of talent astounded audiences every year. “Some of the kids have been practising for weeks,” she said. “It’s a busy time for senior students with exams coming up so it’s great to have them on board too.” Operatic aficionados Angie Jessop and Gavin Templeton judged the 14 student performances, before two teacher acts took to the stage. Head students Finau Fakapelea and Kane Olsen were MCs for the evening, while Nick Hooper, Liam Kennedy-Clark, Sean Achten and Max Iskhakov provided technical expertise. Olivia Stewart performs Puppet on a String.

■ EPO FOUND
In brief
Find ‘unlikely to be isolated’ By Sue NewmaN
sue.n@theguardian.co.nz
The syringe of banned blood doping substance EPO located in an Ashburton racing stable last week is unlikely to be the only one in circulation in the country, says Racing Integrity Unit chief Mike Godber. The unit was handed an unused syringe of Neorecormon containing erythropoietin (EPO) by trainer Lenny Faber last Friday and an investigation is now under way to track the product from Mr Faber’s stable back to its point of origin. “We’ll be looking and trying to identify if there is more of it, but you wouldn’t think it would be totally isolated. This inquiry could take time because
■ ALLEGED RAPE
Woman attacked in home By CulleN Smith aNd CameroN ruSSell Police say an alleged rapist may have been wearing a high-visibility vest when he attacked a woman in her Sockburn home. A large number of police converged on Middlepark Rd about 10.50am yesterday after reports a woman in her 20s had been sexually assaulted. The woman was treated at the scene by St John Ambulance medics and is being cared for by family members. Detective Senior Sergeant Darryl Sweeney said police were working to confirm details of what happened. “Our priority at the moment is the ongoing care of the victim and her family.” He said the alleged attacker, described as aged in his 40s with two front teeth missing and possibly wearing a highvisibility vest, was not known to the victim. Detective Senior Sergeant Sweeney said police wanted anyone who may have seen a person answering this description, or any other unusual activity in the Middlepark Road area between 10am and 11am yesterday, to contact police urgently. A scene examination at the Middlepark Road property was expected to continue today. - APNZ
we need to talk to all of those involved and it’s likely some won’t be that forthcoming,” Mr Godber said. Blood samples were taken from Mr Faber’s horses once the syringe of liquid had been handed over and identified. The results will be known later this week. The EPO find is the first of the banned substance in New Zealand. The drug is at the high end of the banned substance list. It boosts red blood cell production in the body enabling a horse to perform at a higher level. The product found at the Faber stable was designed for human use in people with kidney illness or who were undergoing chemotherapy.
If EPO had been administered to a horse it would only show in blood and urine samples for a few days but its effects would be much longer lasting, Mr Godber said. The racing industry across all three codes, took a hard line on drug use with a high testing regime. Each year about 14,000 tests were carried out compared to about 1500 on athletes across all sporting codes, he said. Equine vet Steve Williams said there were no excuses for having a banned substance in a stable when the rules around drugs in the racing industry were very clear. For trainers, one mistake was all it took to ruin a reputation, he said and in the case
of a product like EPO, that slip could also have dire long term consequences for animal health. For trainers buying product from overseas or from unknown sources there was always a risk, not just from what was known to be in the product but from what it contained that may not have been tested for in its country of origin, Mr Williams said. Racing’s drug testing regime was becoming more and more efficient and that was important, not only in detecting banned substances but also in ensuring public confidence in the integrity of the racing industry was maintained, he said. “This is a substance that has no place in a racing stable.”
Matthew dreading losing locks Matthew Harnett is very attached to his dreads - but they will be parted when he shaves his head for cancer at the Blue Pub in Methven next week. It took a good cause to convince the forester to part with his seven-year-old dreadlocks, but after seeing family members go through cancer he made the decision to shave his locks for the Leukaemia and Blood Cancer foundation. He has already raised more than $800 in pledges, while several businesses have chipped in with prizes to be auctioned on the night. “There aren’t many people who don’t know someone with cancer, so there seem to be a lot of people keen to chip in.” He said people could see the impact of every dollar they donated at the Leukaemia and Blood Cancer foundation website. The shave will be held at 6.30pm on Friday, October 4 at the Brown Pub in Methven.
Three new schools The Government plans to build three new schools to meet population growth in Auckland, Hamilton, and Queenstown and will open them in the first term of 2015. Education Minister Hekia Parata and Associate Education Minister Nikki Kaye announced the Government’s response to a review of the $10 billion national school property portfolio yesterday. Government has set aside $134 million to support new schools, and $70m of this would be invested over the next two years in three primary schools - Ormiston Primary School in south Auckland, Endeavour Avenue Primary School in north Hamilton and Shotover Primary School in Queenstown. The investment would create 65 new classrooms, most of them in Auckland. - APNZ
Not guilty plea Phillip Layton Edwards yesterday pleaded not guilty to kidnapping a toddler. The 33-year-old appeared in Auckland District Court yesterday via audio visual link from Mount Eden prison. A 2-year-old allegedly kidnapped by Edwards was found by police, shirtless and abandoned in a shed at the back of an Auckland property on August 11, after being missing for most of the day. Edwards and associate Maryanne Nahi, 25, were captured by police in Auckland early this month after being on the run since August. He also pleaded not guilty to two charges of assaulting a female and to a charge of unlawfully taking a vehicle. No plea was entered for a charge of breaching supervision. Edwards was remanded in custody until his case review hearing on November 20. - APNZ

The man accused of murdering his ex-partner in Havelock North earlier this year has pleaded guilty to charges of murder and breaching a protection order. Raymond Shane Christison, 48, appeared in the Hastings District Court yesterday where lawyer Tony Snell entered the pleas on his behalf. Christison stabbed his former partner Gail Bower, with whom he had two children, on the night of June 7. Her body was found by the former couple’s teenage son. Mr Snell asked that the summary of facts not be read to the court as it has not yet been agreed on. Judge Tony Adeane remanded Christison in custody to reappear for sentence on October 23. - APNZ
Probe into prisoner’s death stepped up Police investigations into the death of an Otago remand prisoner have been stepped up following the involvement of New Zealand’s police watchdog in the case. The Independent Police Conduct Authority (IPCA) received a complaint from Wellington drug and alcohol counsellor Roger Brooking in March regarding patient medical treat-
ment at Otago Corrections Facility. Mr Brooking laid the complaint after he found out police had done “absolutely nothing” in investigating the February 2011 death of Jai Davis. At the same time, Mr Brooking also raised concerns with the IPCA about the police investigation into the October 2010 suicide of Otago prisoner
Richard Barriball. One month after Mr Brooking laid his complaint, police dedicated a full-time team to Davis’ investigation. “Basically, he died two years ago and police had done absolutely nothing,” Mr Brooking said. Families of both men, who were considered at-risk prisoners, were concerned about what
was happening. “I think it’s been very hard for them,” he said. The IPCA yesterday said it was reviewing the investigations into the deaths. “The authority has asked police to consider any issues raised about Mr Barriball’s death during their investigation of Mr Davis’ death,” it said. - APNZ

■ ANZA CHALLENGE
Sporting stars to visit town By Myles HuMe
Myles.h@theguardian.co.nz
Former All Black Marc Ellis and rugby league great Wendell Sailor will be among a cast of high-profile sporting and TV stars to stop off in Ashburton next month. Mid Canterbury schools and businesses are set to play host on October 17 to more than 20 celebrity figures from New Zealand and Australia, competing in a 1300km race throughout New Zealand to raise money for the Halberg Disability Sport Foun-
dation. Dubbed the ANZA Challenge, the Kiwi squad will race against their Australian counterparts, captained by rugby league great Laurie Daley, with the two teams going head-tohead in rowing, cycling, running and sailing events around New Zealand. The five-day race, starting on October 15, will see the international teams making the 360km run/cycle Christchurch to Dunedin leg on Thursday, October 17, where they will take time to mingle with Ashburton school
pupils and businesses and collect funds for the foundation. “Local firms and schools can get involved in the race by simply celebrating sport in your workplace or school by wearing sports gear on October 17 in return for a gold coin donation,” ANZA Challenge operations manager Cameron Mather said. “Just $20 can pay for a disabled child to enjoy a one-on-one swimming lesson which will build their self-esteem and empower them with the confidence to enjoy the water, a right that

An aspiring South Canterbury singer-songwriter has been lined up to open for Fly My Pretties at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre tonight, as the star-studded cast play in Ashburton for the first time. Just last week artist Shayna King was looking forward to joining the fans at the Ashburton concert, but after an unexpected invitation over the weekend she will be up on stage opening for the band. She said the invitation was unexpected. “Right now I’m in love with Mel Parsons, so I’ve been really excited just about going to the show. It was definitely short no-
eral others. Meanwhile, Bondi Rescue TV stars Corey Oliver and Andy Reid will join Australian hockey player Kate Hollywood, Sailor, Daley and other sporting stars to make up the Australian squad. The ANZA Challenge will be kicked off in Wellington by John Key and see both teams descend the South Island to Dunedin. The teams then head to Hamilton before running to Auckland where they will sail in the Waitemata Harbour on Explore NZ’s America’s Cup boats.

every Kiwi kid deserves.” Ashburton Mayor Angus McKay said being situated on State Highway 1 meant many people travel through the town on fundraising ventures, but hosting such high-profile people would make it a special event for the community. Along with Marc Ellis, the New Zealand team will feature world champion cyclist Alison Shanks, TV personality James McOnie and Olympic double sculls champions Nathan Cohen and Joseph Sullivan, among sev-
tice, but it happened to work out with my schedule and it all came together. I’m excited.” Ms King has spent the past six years pursuing her music fulltime in Christchurch, playing gigs around the city and releasing her first full length album last year. With the album featuring contributions from members of both the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra and American band Smashmouth, her style is hard to fit in a box, but she described it as contemporary with a bit of rock. She particularly enjoys playing at smaller, more intimate venues, and said she doesn’t regret her early years in smalltown Canterbury.
“I think it’s actually really good to have that small town grounding. You have that network, everyone is so supportive and you have opportunities to perform at open mic nights and local gigs.” Fly My Pretties this year features artists Anika Moa, Mel Parsons, Ria Hall, Kara Gordon, Louis McDonald, Mark Vanilau and Shaun Blackwell, as well as returning artists Ryan Prebble, Jarney Murphy, Mike Fabulous, Nigel Patterson and Fly My Pretties founder Barnaby Weir. Just 30 tickets were still available yesterday for the Fly My Pretties concert in Ashburton, but staff at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre did not expect them to last long.
Drivers getting 20km/h message By Myles HuMe
Myles.h@theguardian.co.nz
Mid Canterbury drivers seem to be getting the message just in time before police begin to target motorists speeding past local school buses. Only three weeks since flashing LED 20km/h signs were installed on either ends of Ashburton Pearsons school buses as part of a national trial, bus drivers are already noticing a dramatic difference on Mid Canterbury roads. The trial is being undertaken in Mid Canterbury to see if motorists would adhere to the little know rule that the speed limit either way past a school bus dropping off or picking up children is 20km/h. “Our drivers are noticing a big difference in the majority of cars going past our buses, there is the odd one that doesn’t slow down because they don’t know or don’t care, but it seems to be going well already,” Pearsons Coachlines Ashburton manager Mark Cook said. “State Highway 1 wasn’t the only problem area, the Methven Highway is a bad one for traffic too.” It is a significant step in a bid to reduce the danger posed to Mid Canterbury youngsters when they hop off school buses, with recent statistics revealing 40 per cent of Mid Canterbury motorists did not know to slow down to the 20km/h limit, while 35 per cent were completely unaware of the law. Speeds are now being gathered from a speed camera in-

stalled on a bus that is being rotated about the fleet, with results expected in a few months time. Mr Cook said it was important motorists took the ‘either way its 20k’ message on board before Ashburton police begin a crackdown on speedy motorists past stationary school buses on October 14. Mid Canterbury Highway Patrol Sergeant Steve Burgerhout recently warned motorists driving more than 50km/h over the 20km/h temporary speed limit past a school bus dropping off or picking up youngsters would lose their licence and face court action. Meanwhile, those driving up to 49km/h over a temporary speed limit would receive and infringement notice. “We want to see people making an effort to significantly reduce their speed, and to reduce the risk to kids.”

OUR VIEW
That sickening feeling ... Coen Lammers EDITOR
D
o we need to prepare for the unthinkable? The entire nation has been on tenderhooks for a week since Emirates Team New Zealand got one hand on the America’s Cup after they got to match point. At 8-1 ahead, the Kiwis only needed one more point to complete the demolition of the billionaire’s boat. Oracle Team USA, however, did not want to play ball and continues to ruin the party. Pulling out their delay option last week proved to be a masterstroke as the battered American team (are there actually any Yanks on the boat?) regrouped, changed their tactician and started winning races. The first few were brushed off as adding a bit of spice to the one-sided affair, but once the winds started turning against the Kiwis and Team NZ ran out of racing time with the finish line in sight, many of us started to get that sick feeling in our stomach. Now Team USA has won five races on the trot, the celebratory mood has turned to nervousness, then anxiety and starting to get close to panic. Dean Barker’s boys still hold a two-point lead, thanks to Oracle’s cheating penalty in earlier races, but over four million Kiwis are starting to prepare for the worst. Surely, Dean will manage to get ahead today and bring home the Auld Mug. But then again, we’ve been hoping that for the past six days. I have been intrigued by the fatalistic comments in the media and around Mid Canterbury with conspiracy theorists having a field day and many already predicting a court case over the original penalty if the Kiwis win the cup. Many seem to ignore the fact that the Americans have clearly learned their lessons from eight losing races, are now racing as fast as the New Zealander and are not making any mistakes. Hopefully the ultimate Kiwi triumph will be so much sweeter now we all have had to sweat on it for a few days. If not, we have to try our best to be good losers and learn to carry the unwelcome prize of producing the biggest choke in the history of sport.

Kept on our toes with many acts
POLL RESULT Yesterday’s result Q: Do you spend more on the Lotto as the jackpot increases?
Andrew Dalziel
FROM YOUR COUNCIL
O
ne of the core values we expect from council employees is that they act with integrity. Public servants need to be honest. Back in 2008, about seven months after I started my previous role as CEO of Hurunui District Council, we caught one of our staff stealing. Larissa McMillian, 22 and a mother-of-two worked for the council-owned Hanmer Springs Thermal Pools and Spa. She stole an estimated $60,000 from the district’s ratepayers by deliberately underestimating the number of customers and siphoning off the equivalent cash amounts. She was jailed, but none of the money was recovered, spent on a dissolute lifestyle of alcohol and drugs. Larissa’s case was one of blatant dishonesty. We all know that we have to obey the law. There is actually an awful lot of law to follow, and if we break it, ignorance won’t get us very far as an excuse. A couple of years ago the Southland District Council compiled a list of legislation specifically affecting local authorities like the Ashburton District Council. They came up with 124 different Acts of Parliament. It wasn’t really a surprise given that local councils are involved in delivering a wide variety of services to their communities. It’s a couple of years since Southland calculated 124 statutes. The number of acts affecting the Ashburton District Council will have grown. We can certainly add the new Psychoactive Substances Act to the list, which Rakaia residents

are becoming familiar with, even though I imagine most weren’t planning to. Apparently, New Zealand is the first country in the world to try and regulate rather than ban these sorts of substances. There are some provisions in the act that apply to councils, but unfortunately we didn’t have any input into the statute, even though it provides a discretionary role for us. The council can now develop a policy to control the location and density of stores selling legal highs. But there are fish hooks. If we did develop a policy, there’s currently no mechanism for enforcing it. It’s unclear if such a policy can actually be used to ban the sale of these products outright. And there is no cost-recovery mechanism for the council for developing and administering a policy. We are waiting for some Government regulations to appear. It’s not just new acts we have to watch out for; it’s changes to the existing ones that also keep us on our toes. I’ll be interested to see what comes through in the way of changed legislation from the
Minister of Local Government’s announcements last month about overhauling local government planning. These are changes Cabinet has decided to make to the Local Government Act after the minister considered the recommendations of the Local Government Efficiency Taskforce’s November 2012 report. The Government has decided to provide councils with more flexibility and clarity about how and when to consult, which is timely given some of the election debate in Ashburton. ‘The aim is to enable councils to design decision-making and engagement processes that are efficient, effective, and appropriate to a range of different circumstances and community interests.” The announcement talks about ‘streamlining longterm and annual plans’ and ‘a plain language expectation’, but also the removal of most requirements to use the special consultation procedure when consulting. Also tucked into this latest package of changes is the decision to enable elected members to use technology to participate
remotely in council meetings (eg through video conferencing). Very 21st century stuff. It is good for those in remote areas who have to endure hours of travel to attend meetings. I hope some elected members still turn up in person for a meeting! I wonder if it will be possible in the future for a councillor to never actually be physically present in the council building during a three-year term. Ashburton District Council currently uses four legal firms to carry out its legal work; Buddle Findlay (mainly for property and finance work), Cavell Leitch (for environmental work), Russell Moon and Fail (for property and regulatory work), and McPhail Gibson & Zwart (for employment law). The total legal bill for the organisation, which has a $44m operating budget and $37m capital budget, was $120,000 in 2012/13. The firms help ensure the council’s operations are legally compliant, and our internal controls and fraud detection work help make sure we don’t have any Larissas on board.

■ RECORD SHARE PRICE
In brief
New peak for Kathmandu By Christopher AdAms Kathmandu shares soared to an all-time high yesterday after the company reported a record annual result and said another “solid performance” was expected in this financial year. The outdoor clothing retailer’s shares rose 33c to close at $3.18 last night. Kathmandu has been the second-best-performing NZX 50 stock in the past year, behind accounting software provider Xero, rising more than 90 per cent. Its shares are now 152 per cent up on the all-time low of $1.27 they hit in June last year. Kathmandu said sales rose 10.6 per cent to a record $384 million in the 12 months to July 31, while net profit lifted 26.6 per cent to $44.2 million. “This was a good result given the difficult retail environ-
ment,” said chief executive Peter Halkett. Salt Funds Management managing director Paul Harrison said there had been some nervousness in the market that the company might report a weaker full-year result than the previous year, especially given New Zealand’s mild winter. But a cold snap around the time of Kathmandu’s crucial winter sale seemed to have bolstered trading in this country, Harrison said. “It was a pretty solid result.” Halkett said it was pleasing that Kathmandu could report positive full-year same store sales growth of 5.6 per cent, on a local currency basis. “Operating expenses reduced as a percentage of sales compared to [financial year] 2012, which also contributed to earnings growth,” he said. Harrison said it was encour-

aging Kathmandu’s gross profit margin remained reasonable at 63 per cent, within the target range of 62 to 64 per cent, which suggested it had not done too much discounting. Kathmandu said 17 new stores opened in the year to July 31, bringing the total number of outlets to 136, while online revenue had risen 55 per cent to reach more than 4 per cent of total sales.

Two designs of jeans made by rival clothing companies are so similar that one must have been copied off the other, the High Court has been told. A stoush between G-Star Raw and Jeanswest Corporation New Zealand began in the High Court at Auckland yesterday. Dutch clothing company GStar and one of its distributors have alleged Australian-owned Jeanswest sold a style of pants that is a copy, or “substantial copy”, of a design it owns the copyright for. In his opening arguments G-Star lawyer David Marriott said Jeanswest had sold infringing copies of one of his client’s “iconic designs”. According to G-Star, a Jeanswest style called “Dean Biker Slim” contained features of its “Elwood 5620” design, which was created by Frenchman Pierre Morisset in 1995. Its features include ovalshaped knee pads, horizontal stitching across the back of each knee, a straight line of double stitching diagonally across the front of each thigh, a saddle pad at the back and heel guards behind each leg. Morriset had created what he called a “3 dimensional jean design” that was “shaped to fit an active body”, Marriott told Justice Paul Heath. “When you look at the degree of similarity between what Jean-
swest made in 2009 and what GStar already had on the market at that time, the degree of similarity is so overwhelmingly that it is impossible to conclude anything other than they must have copied it from one of the G-Star Jeans,” Marriott said. “As the evidence comes out it will be apparent how important this design that’s alleged to have been copied is to G-Star and indeed to the fashion world,” he said. A number of pairs of jeans were produced as evidence and Morisset was expected to give evidence via video-link from Amsterdam yesterday evening. If needed, the court would sit until midnight. The case is scheduled to run until next week and G-Star is seeking a declaration the copyright infringement took place as well as an injunction and damages. - NZH
BurgerFuel drive-through New Zealand fast food operator BurgerFuel has cut the ribbon on what it claims is the world’s first gourmet burger drive-through. Chief executive Josef Roberts said the new concept, which opened at the firm’s Jumeirah Rd store in Dubai on Monday night, was an important addition to the business in a city where summer temperatures can top almost 50C and customers appreciate the option of remaining in their airconditioned vehicles. It would also serve as a trial for BurgerFuel to establish whether drive-throughs could be rolled out at additional stores, he said. - NZH
Alice in underland Alice, the Waterview Connection’s tunnel boring machine, is lined up at the mouth of her first Mt Roskill wall, ready to dig the country’s biggest roading job. John Burden, project manager for the WellConnected Alliance, showed how the shield or cutting face of the world’s 10th-largest tunnel boring machine would soon start eating into the ground to create the first 2.4km southbound tunnel. Alice, which can create a 14.4m diameter tunnel up to 17m long a day, not only digs the tunnel with her circular cutter head full of blades and discs but also lines the hole she has dug with concrete segments, completing the process all in one go. “The tunnel has to be that big to get three lanes of traffic in,” said Burden. - NZH
Stress going down? Though it may sound a little implausible to Kiwis with long Christmas shopping lists, a new report says consumers’ financial stress levels should ease in the leadup to the Silly Season on the back of low interest rates and positive jobs figures. Credit reporting agency Dun & Bradstreet says its Consumer Financial Stress Index continued to fall last month to -4.8 points, down from -4.6 points in July. The index has been falling continuously since the start of this year, when it reached almost +15 points. Although Dun & Bradstreet said the index was yet to reach the lows measured during the the first half of 2011, when it fell to almost -15, financial stress levels were anticipated to ease further this year as increasingly positive economic news bolstered consumer confidence. - NZH
Little change in dollar The New Zealand dollar traded in a narrow range as investors look for signals indicating when the US Federal Reserve is likely to start tapering its US$85 billion a month monetary stimulus programme. The kiwi edged up to 83.75 US cents at 8am in Wellington from 83.63 cents at 5pm market close yesterday, having traded in a tight 37 basis point range overnight. The trade-weighted index advanced to 77.94 from 77.86 yesterday. The Fed last week unexpectedly chose not to pare back its bond buying programme as it awaits more data showing a sustained revival in the world’s largest economy. A reduction in the money printing programme is supportive of the US dollar because it would reduce the volume of the currency in circulation, boosting its value.

In brief
Hostages still held in mall Islamist al-Shabab fighters have claimed to still be holding hostages inside a Nairobi shopping mall, as they continued to battle special forces on the fourth day of a deadly siege. Sporadic shooting at the upmarket Westgate mall broke out again at dawn on Tuesday, hours after officials had claimed Kenyan troops were in “control” of the sprawling complex. “The hostages who were being held by the mujahedeen inside Westgate are still alive, looking quite disconcerted but, nevertheless, alive,” the alShabab said in a message posted on their latest Twitter account. At least 62 shoppers and staff have been killed and close to 200 wounded in the siege, but concerns are high that the toll may yet rise. Security sources said “one or two” militants were barricaded in or around a casino on one of the upper floors of the complex. Somalia’s al-Shabab insurgents have claimed the attack, which began midday on Saturday when the armed militants marched into the packed upscale complex, tossing grenades, firing automatic weapons and sending panicked shoppers fleeing. Bursts of heavy gunfire was heard around 0630 GMT by an AFP reporter close to the mall. The al-Shabab also claimed fighters were there “still holding their ground” as they

Isolated, not punished The Russian prison service says it has moved jailed Pussy Riot musician Nadezhda Tolokonnikova to an isolation cell after she launched a hunger strike over what she called slave labour conditions. “Nadezhda Tolokonnikova has been placed in a so-called safe place in the colony. It is not a punishment cell,” a spokesman for the prison service told Interfax yesterday. Tolokonnikova, a 23-year-old mother, is serving a two-year sentence in a penal colony in the Mordovia region over the Pussy Riot punk band’s protest song in a Moscow cathedral last year. - AFP

bragged about the “countless number of dead bodies still scattered inside the mall.” A string of Twitter accounts run by the al-Shabab have been shut down since the attack began, but the militants have been

Class action over ‘house of horrors’ By Lauren Farrow More than 40 handicapped boarding house residents are taking the NSW government to court, claiming they were assaulted, drugged and imprisoned while living in a “house of horrors”. The adults, who have intellectual and psychosocial disabilities, launched the class action in the Federal Court yesterday against Adrian Powell, who ran the Grand Western Lodge boarding house, his employer and the New South Wales government. They allege that between 2000 and 2011, Mr Powell participated in and encouraged physical assaults on residents at the lodge in Millthorpe, situated near Orange. It is also alleged that residents were confined as a form of punishment and that unprescribed quantities of psychotropic medication was used to sedate some of them.
Maurice Blackburn Lawyers, which is representing the residents, said they were seeking compensation for financial losses, injuries and false imprisonment. “These residents lived in depraved circumstances that you wouldn’t wish on your own worst enemy,” Maurice Blackburn’s NSW managing principal, Ben Slade, told a press conference at the launch of the action. “They were paying 100 per cent of their pensions for the pleasure of living in this house of horrors.” The class action, which also includes allegations that residents weren’t given enough food and clothing, comes after allegations of abuse at the boarding house first surfaced in 2002. Despite this, Mr Slade said the state government failed to act. “These allegations are particularly distressing, as they suggest that some of the most vulnerable people living in our community have suffered so much
for far too long,” he said in a statement. As part of the claim, it is alleged the NSW Department of Ageing Disability and Home Care was negligent in monitoring its licensees and that it knew there was a risk of harm to residents but failed to act. Matthew Bowden, co-CEO of People with Disability Australia, said the class action exposed serious human rights abuses. “We hope that the class action will not only provide redress for the individual claimants but will instigate much needed systemic improvement to the housing and support provided to people with intellectual and psychosocial disability in NSW,” he said. NSW Minister for Ageing and Disability Services John Ajaka would not comment as the matter is before the courts. - AAP
UN chemical weapons inspectors will return to Syria to investigate alleged attacks using poison gas, a top Russian diplomat has said. “We are satisfied that our insistence that the UN experts’ return was answered,” Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov was quoted as saying yesterday by Russia media. The inspectors have determined that chemical weapons were used in an attack near Damascus on August 21 that killed hundreds and which the United States and its allies blame on the Syrian government. - DAP
New jets on hold South Korea has held off awarding a long-awaited $US7.7 billion jet fighter contract which had been widely expected to go to Boeing for 60 F-15 Silent Eagles. The government says it intends to restart the entire bidding process, which had been mired in controversy over its inflexibility. The jet deal had already been delayed because of South Korea’s position that the price should not exceed the 8.3 trillion won approved by parliament. - AFP

There’s much more to pies than mince
T
here’s a whole lot more to a pie than just a tasty pile of mince sandwiched between two pieces of pastry. Pies come in all shapes and sizes and they can be called by a range of names – pie, tart, quiche – they’re all based around the same idea of a tasty mixture with some kind of base that is able to be sliced and served or baked as a single serve dish. Pies aren’t just for snacking, they can make a tasty, filling evening meal too with a salad or vegetables alongside.
Savoury onion pie 6 onions, thinly sliced 4 eggs, whisked 259ml sour cream 1 pinch salt and pepper, to taste 115g unsalted butter 1/4 C grated parmesan cheese 1 pinch paprika 2T chilli sauce 2 (23cm) pie shells, baked 1/2C grated parmesan cheese for topping ■ Preheat oven to 190 degrees C. ■ Cook onions in butter for about

and entertain. Disney’s Aladdin Jr. is a live stage adaptation of the animated Disney classic and, as such, the actors have had great fun playing their characters a
little larger than life, without sacrificing their human side.
I have had a blast working with the more than 60 youngsters from Children’s Theatre and have been thrilled to be directing this year with such an awesome team - Angie Cresswell as our Musical Director and Amber Bailey, our Choreographer. So, now everything is in place. Come with us on magic carpet ride to a whole new world!

In brief Red card hearing Wellington loose forward Adam Hill will face a judicial hearing tomorrow after he was sent off during his team’s top of table clash against Canterbury in Wellington on Saturday. Hill was issued a red card by referee Nick Briant late in the second half for an alleged stamping in breach of law 10.4 (b). Wellington won the match 25-19. Meanwhile, Otago prop Scott Manson has been cited for an alleged stamping on Manawatu prop Chris Eves during their match in Dunedin last Friday, and he too will face a judicial hearing tomorrow. Otago won the highscoring match 52-41. - APNZ
Schmidt takes charge Former Ireland and British and Irish Lions captain Paul O’Connell is confident Joe Schmidt will have no trouble adjusting to the international scene in his new role as Ireland coach following the New Zealander’s successful spell in charge of Leinster. Schimdt twice steered the Irish province to European Cup glory but now has to guide Ireland after succeeding Declan Kidney on a three-year contract encompassing the World Cup in England. His first games in charge come in a November home series against Australia, New Zealand and Samoa. - AFP
Stewart close to return It was a sight for sore eyes at Manly training yesterday - fullback Brett Stewart running freely and eyeing a return in Friday night’s NRL preliminary final against South Sydney. Stewart gave his injured hamstring a thorough examination as he went full tilt later in the session - the brilliant No.1 passing the first test in his quest to face the Bunnies. The availability fo Stewart would be a massive boost for the Sea Eagles, who despite the fine form of Peta Hiku at the back, have failed to hit top form during the finals series. - AAP
Bowen Wigan-bound NRL veteran Matt Bowen will extend his glittering career in Super League next season, after penning a one-year deal with Wigan. The English club yesterday signed the Cowboys’ games record-holder for 2014, with a further option to play in 2015. He has been brought in as a direct replacement for star England fullback Sam Tomkins, who is heading to New Zealand next year after securing a lucrative three-season contract with the Warriors. - AAP
New coach a winner Sydney Roosters coach Trent Robinson is yet to complete his first NRL season in charge of a club, but already halfback Mitchell Pearce rates him as someone capable of reaching the highs of Wayne Bennett. Bennett, the league’s most successful coach with seven premierships to his name, will square off against the competition’s youngest and most inexperienced when the Roosters host Newcastle in Saturday’s preliminary final. Both sides have been lifted out of their 2012 doldrums spectacularly this season, the Knights rising from 12th and the Roosters charging to the minor premiership from 13th. - AAP

■ RUGBY
Extended run good for Retallick BY PATRICK MCKENDRY Brodie Retallick has the appearance of a bouncer from the north of England, and at times all the subtlety of one. If ever those destructive qualities were needed for the All Blacks it will be over the next two weeks against the Pumas and Springboks. While Luke Romano’s groin injury has added hugely to the 22-year-old’s workload, the consistent game time is agreeing with him. It’s no exaggeration to suggest he is coming into the form of his life - certainly he appeared to come of age in the rough and tumble of his side’s most recent test - the often illtempered victory over South Africa at Eden Park. The last we saw of Romano on the field was when he departed Sydney’s ANZ Stadium with a groin strain early in the comprehensive victory over the Wallabies on August 17. Retallick replaced him in the second row and hasn’t looked back - playing in every minute of the subsequent Rugby Championship victories over Australia in Wellington, Argentina in Hamilton and South Africa in Auckland. He has always been known as one of the best clean-out operators in the New Zealand game - he has a fearless quality which belies his age but is boosted by his 2.04m and 115kg frame now he is turning into one of the best lineout operators and a general enforcer too.
Retallick is closing the gap on Sam Whitelock as New Zealand’s best lock. He doesn’t have the footwork or handling skills of Whitelock, but he makes up for it with his considerable bulk, aggression and workrate. He was more consistent than Whitelock against the Boks and those qualities will be key for the All Blacks as they look to maintain their unbeaten record in the Championship against the Pumas at La Plata on Sunday and in what will be a grudge match at Ellis Park, Johannesburg, a week later. “You still have to work hard for your spot each week, but it’s nice to get a couple of 80-minute performances under your belt,” Retallick said when asked recently about getting guaranteed game time in Romano’s absence. “The last couple of weeks getting 80 minutes has built my confidence.” Retallick is one of Steve Hansen’s major successes after the All Blacks coach selected him last year - which also happened to be the lock’s first in Super Rugby. He has quickly become an integral part of not only the Chiefs but also the national side, playing 18 tests after making his debut against Ireland at Eden Park. In a bid to beef up his second row, Pumas coach Santiago Phelan has brought in Patricio Albacete, a 53-test veteran who plays for French club
Toulouse, in one of six changes to his team. Retallick, who undergoes something of a transformation when wearing spectacles off the field, professes to enjoy the books about another famously short-sighted individual Harry Potter - and will do his homework on Albacete and his other opponents. But while workrate and effort are increasingly being measured by statistics, Retallick prefers to take an old-fashioned approach - measuring how hard he has worked by how he feels afterwards. There is no secret formula. “It’s something I build my game on, getting around the paddock and working as hard as I
can.” Argentina team to play the All Blacks at La Plata on Sunday, kick-off 11.40am NZT is: Juan Martin Hernandez, Lucas Gonzalez Amorosino, Marcelo Bosch, Santiago Fernandez, Juan Imhoff, Nicolas Sanchez, Martin Landajo, Juan Manual Leguizamon, Pablo Matera, Juan Martin Fernandez, Patricio Albacete, Julio Farias Cabello, Juan Figallo, Eusebio Guinazu, Marcos Ayerza. Reserves: Agustin Creevy, Nahuel Lobo, Juan Pablo Orlandi, Mariano Galarzo, Benjamin Macome, Tomas Cubelli, Felipe Contepomi, Horacio Agulla. - APNZ

■ RUGBY LEAGUE
Tompkins signing ‘just the beginning’ BY MICHAEL BROWN The Warriors might have forked out a world record transfer fee on England fullback Sam Tomkins but they might not be finished in the transfer market as they plot a more successful season in 2014. Tomkins was finally confirmed as a Warriors player yesterday, signing on for three years. The 24-year-old still had three years left on his Wigan deal, forcing the Warriors to pay a transfer fee to the UK Super League outfit. Some reports have put this as much as 700,000 pounds (NZ$1.34m), which far outstrips the previous transfer record of 450,000 pounds (NZ$864,000) paid by Wigan to Bradford for Great Britain prop
New signing Sam Tompkins
Stuart Fielden in 2006. This amount is not factored into the NRL’s salary cap but Tomkins’ salary - reportedly around $700,000 - will place him as one of the most expensive players in NRL history. It’s an example of the Warriors’ financial clout under owners Eric Watson and Owen Glenn, who famously said last year he wants the Warriors to become the
“best single sporting franchise in Australasia.” Warriors chief executive Wayne Scurrah hinted they might not be done in the transfer market. “I wouldn’t say we are done yet,” he said. “Very rarely, in my experience, is recruitment over until we start playing the first game of the new season.” It would help explain why there has been no movement on Jerome Ropati. The veteran centre is keen to play for at least another season and coach Matt Elliott has talked about his desire to retain Ropati but the club will need some wriggle room in the salary cap if they want to add to their roster. They would be able to free up some room in the cap if they could offload prop Russell Pack-
er or fullback Kevin Locke. Locke will struggle to find a spot in the starting side with the arrival of Tomkins and half Chad Townsend. The Warriors have placed a lot of faith in Tomkins and there will be considerable pressure on him to deliver. He’s clearly a talented player with a terrific try-scoring record but the NRL is far stronger than the Super League. “It has not been easy with all the rumours but I have been completely open about it. It was only signed 10 days ago,” Tomkins told reporters in the UK. “I am glad it is all over now. It is a change I am ready for.” Warriors fans will hope it’s also something that brings about a change in the club’s fortunes. - APNZ

Fixing ring smashed A football match-fixing ring based in Singapore was the world’s “largest and most aggressive” such operation, the Interpol chief said in remarks after the arrest of the group’s suspected mastermind. International Criminal Police Organisation SecretaryGeneral Ronald Noble hailed the arrest in Singapore of 14 suspects. “I’m confident that Singapore law enforcement authorities have arrested the mastermind and leader of the world’s most notorious match-fixing syndicate,” Noble said. “It is significant because this syndicate is considered the world’s largest and most aggressive matchfixing syndicate, with tentacles reaching every continent.” - AFP

But Harris yesterday said the injury “seems to have healed” and has returned to bowling as part of early preparations for the opening Test on November 21. - AAP

Devil in the detail for Team NZ BY PAUL LEWIS Code zero, result zero. It wasn’t the fault of the code zero sail but it was another example of the tiny details in boat set-up that are continuing to affect Team New Zealand in their pressure-laden drive to find that final race win to take the 34th America’s Cup. With two evenly matched boats - though Oracle Team USA showed surprising acceleration to win both reaching legs clearly yesterday - even small changes can make big differences to the highly responsive AC72 catamarans. Code zeroes are forward sails designed to make the most of light breezes. Team NZ have consistently said their code zero is best used in conditions of under 10 knots, but surprised by

hoisting their code zero early yesterday while Oracle didn’t. There was also a feeling that having the code zero furled but not deployed on the first leg when Oracle showed extreme acceleration to overlap Team NZ - might have added to their drag, making the other boat look faster than it was. Team NZ said the conditions yesterday - 12-14 knots - were right on the cusp of making the move a good one. “It was looking light but, unfortunately, when we got there [the first mark] it was a bit quicker breeze,” said Team NZ skipper Dean Barker yesterday. Asked if the code zero had added to their drag, Barker said: “It certainly wasn’t helpful but I don’t think that is the reason they rolled over us.” Code zeroes are well known as
a kind of hybrid power booster. Typically used under 10 knots, they are a sort of cross between a genoa and a spinnaker and provide additional power when traditional sails are slow. Team NZ tactician Ray Davies defended its use: “It wasn’t a surprise that they elected to not have it up and then hoist it down the run,” he said. “We talked about that but we felt that the breeze was soft enough to be into the code zero straight away.” Davies said Oracle’s positioning on the line at the start had contributed more to the US syndicate’s fast start than the use of the code zero. “The momentum they had at the start, I don’t think the code zero made any difference to them rolling us,” he said, explaining that the New Zealand
boat had set up to leeward. “The weather end was biased, so we gave up too much line bias to start to leeward.” However, Davies believed the Kiwis did better with the code zero on the downwind leg than they would have without it. “I think we were gaining on them at that point,” he said. “They had slipped away in a little bit of pressure and once we deployed the code zero, we stopped the rot and probably made a slight gain from that point.” Barker said: “We have got some little tweaks to do now, but nothing dramatic. We don’t need to make massive changes. The boat is going well.” He also said the team would not be playing the postponement card to make big crew and boat changes, as Oracle had done earlier. - HOS

Shaq now an owner Shaquille O’Neal, a four-time NBA champion who retired in 2011, has become a part owner of the Sacramento Kings, a rival club he derisively dubbed the “Queens” back in 2002. Indian businessman Vivek Ranadive, a software company founder who became the owner of the NBA Kings in May for a record $US534 million after the team appeared set to move to Seattle, confirmed the move on a Twitter posting. O’Neal’s minority stake in the club gives the former Lakers superstar 2.16m centre a new nickname to go alongside dozens of others such as “The Big Aristotle” and “The Big Shaqtus” he coined in his career - “The Big Owner”. - AFP
England ‘not dour’ England defended their approach to cricket after Australia coach Darren Lehmann said yesterday they were a “dour side”.

Lehmann was asked on a a BBC radio show hosted by former England captain Michael Vaughan what he thought of England’s style. “Dour. It’s not the type of cricket I’d play,” Lehmann replied. - AFP

Mr O’Ceirin penalised Former Foxton galloper Mr O’Ceirin has been penalised half a kilogram for the Caulfield and Melbourne Cups following his win in Saturday’s Gr.3 Naturalism Stakes. Now prepared in Melbourne by Ciaron Maher, the former Sandie Cookson-trained gelding earned a ballot exemption into the A$2.5m Caulfield Cup (2400m) on October 19 with the win. Mr O’Ceirin is likely to run in the Caulfield Stakes before the Caulfield Cup.

Grylls injured Former Palmerston North apprentice Bridget Grylls, who is now based in Matamata with Ken and Bev Kelso, has broken four ribs in trackwork. The 20-year-old has been in career best form this season with 10 wins to date. Grylls, the younger sister of senior jockey Craig, is likely to be off the scene for three weeks.
Moreira off to HK Joao Moreira’s Hong Kong licence has been confirmed with the Brazilian-born jockey to ride there from October 17 until the end of the season. The 29-yearold has won the last three riding premierships in Singapore and is all but certain to win a fourth in a record-breaking stint in the Asian racing centre. Moreira, who has already secured the ride on star Hong Kong galloper Ambitious Dragon, rode more than 1000 winners in South America before moving to Singapore in 2009.
Shoot Out retired Five-time Group One winner Shoot Out has been retired following his last placing in the George Main Stakes in Sydney on Saturday. The seven-year-old gelding began his career under the tutelage of Gold Coast trainer John Wallace, winning the Randwick Guineas and the AJC Australian Derby in his care. Transferred to the Sydney stables of Chris Waller in 2012, Shoot Out added two Chipping Norton Stakes and a George Main Stakes to his tally. “Shoot Out has performed at the highest level for five years which is testament to all of those that have been involved in his career,” Waller said. “On one hand it’s a sad day, but on the other it’s almost a relief to have been associated with such a good horse and to send him to the paddock in great condition.” Shoot Out will spend his retirement on the Queensland property of his owners Graeme and Linda Huddy.
Commanding Jewel out Group One winner Commanding Jewel has undergone a scan and been found to have ‘tweaked’ a muscle, with trainer Leon Corstens unsure how long the injury would keep the four-year-old out of action. Corstens ruled Commanding Jewel out of Sunday’s Gr. 1 Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes yesterday with the three-quarter sister to Atlantic Jewel appearing to have a hamstring issue. “As she trotted off on Monday morning she didn’t seem quite right in the near hind and on pulling up it was the same,” said Corstens. “I got the vet to have a look at her and the vet said it looks like she’s pulled a muscle behind. “I treated her so she’s definitely not running on Sunday.”
It was a light day for racing entertainment yesterday when fewer than 40 horses turned out for the Ashburton Trotting Club’s workouts. Six pacers lined up in race six to run over 2400 metres, with all tackling the chilly damp conditions like seasoned campaigners, striding out faultlessly from the standing start. The Margo Nyhan trained Sounds
Like Us quickly slipped into the lead with Banora Boy settling in the trail followed by Even Flo. The field ran in unchanged Indian file for much of the distance but at 600m Even Flo with Greg Tait in the sulky turned up the heat, slipping into second place. As they turned for home, the Ben Waldron-trained four-year-old
showed her mettle striding out to a comfortable win ahead of Dave Anderson and Banora Boy. The race leader Sounds Like Us, driven by Peter Davis was forced to settle for third.

YOUR STARS by Forecasters
ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20) You’ve reached a point where you’re looking for job satisfaction and a sense of purpose, with a chance today to get hot on the trail. TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) Knowing what you want on the work front is just the start of the journey, with a chance today to look at where the money is and work on a game plan. GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) An annual update of home and family matters has revealed a need for nurturing and those things that keep you grounded and at peace. CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) Communication is no longer about the details or discussing life’s issues and instead focuses more on expressing those things closest to your heart. LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) You’ll find it easy to talk and build a rapport today and with the laws of synchronicity in effect the best moments will be unscripted. VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) As doors open on the income front you’re able to tap into professional potential you haven’t begun to explore let alone exhaust. LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) Those moments that you can beg, steal or borrow to hear yourself think or to spend time navel gazing have become both important and precious. SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) Instead of your friendships being yet something else that needs your time and energy, this is where you’ll get your nurturing and your energy restored. SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) While you’re able to keep things ticking over professionally, use a quieter patch to explore a need for a deeper sense of purpose and satisfaction. CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) You have the professional edge and acumen needed to capitalise on any work or career situation, but not if you fall victim to tunnel vision. AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) While it’s important to keep your money hat on, see money as simply a means to an end, focusing on what lies behind the scenes. PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 20) With an annual relationship review over you’re able to look at how to take what you’ve learned and start developing something deeper.

Shield in their sights Hanan Shield representatives Georgia Lysaght, Nicole Purdom, Hannah Wright and Alice Mareko.
BY JONATHAN LEASK

Four Ashburton College girls will represent the Hanan Shield Districts at the Quadrangular Tournament in Gore this weekend. Prop Georgia Lysaght, midfield back Alice Mareko, loose forward Nicole Purdom and first
five eight Hannah Wright are all in the Hanan Shield girls’ squad of 22. Purdom will captain the Hanan Shield side for a second successive season, her third year in the team. Purdom is a Mount Hutt College student but gets a dispensation to play for Ashburton Col-
lege, but has also played senior rugby for High School Old Boys’ in Christchurch since she was 14. Mareko also returns to the side for a second season while Wright and Lysaght make their first appearance for the Hanan Shield team at the quadrangular tournament.

The traditional South Island tournament was scrapped due to a lack of interest and funding after the 2011 tournament, but co-operation between some of the unions saw the quadrangular tournament organised to replace it last year, hosted by South Canterbury in Timaru. This year the Hanan Shield
team comes up against Canterbury, Otago and Southland in Gore. Canterbury, the defending champions, will again be the favourites and had a big win over a Hanan Shield side that only had two practices in the lead up to the game, in the build-up to the tournament.
