THE INDEPENDENT VOICE OF MID CANTERBURY

District faces mass vaccination

BY MYLES HUME

MYLES.H@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Health authorities want to vaccinate 1500 Mid Canterbury youngsters against hepatitis A, in what will be the biggest move to stunt the spread of the virus.

Canterbury medical officer of health Dr Alistair Humphrey confirmed yesterday PHARMAC had given Canterbury District Health Board the green light to vaccinate all children aged 1-4 in Mid Canterbury.

It will see six vaccination clinics set up in Ashburton, Methven and Rakaia from October 8 as the CDHB looks to stop the 28 confirmed cases from rising.

With 127 Mid Canterbury preschoolers already vaccinated from previous clinics, he said that left about 1500 youngsters eligible for the free vaccination.

“We have got a high number of incidents so it’s time we went broader, instead of dealing with it preschool by preschool, because otherwise we will be faced with other clusters of infected places and families,” Dr Humphrey said. If it was not dealt

with now, there was a chance it could linger for years.

“We don’t want to be chasing it into the Christmas holidays. The last thing we want is Ashburton exporting hepatitis A to other parts of the country when people go on holiday in summer.”

It was originally thought children may need to be vaccinated twice in six months for full immunity, but Dr Humphrey said new research suggests one vaccination should be enough.

“We cannot force anyone to be vaccinated but their child will not be protected (if they don’t).

“Hepatitis A is spread when people fail to wash their hands properly after going to the toilet and because of this preschoolers are often responsible for spreading it.”

Symptoms of hepatitis A usually do not show in young children, so they can pass on the virus without knowingly having it to other children or adults, who suffer badly from the symptoms.

Thief caught on camera A brazen Whangarei thief made off with valuable camera gear, a laptop computer and cash while the homeowner was making tea upstairs. But what the thief did not bank on was a sophisticated security system catching his every criminal move on camera. Now Raumanga homeowner Dave McCluggage is releasing a security camera picture in the hope the thief will be identified and he can get his precious and expensive camera gear back.

Skunks cause a stink Police storing the carcasses of trapped skunks in an American town have caused a stink among their neighbours. Humanely-trapped skunks were taken to an old police station in Buffalo, New York, where they were shot and stored in outdoor freezers until they could be incinerated.

Residents say they complained about the smell months ago.

City officials say they are looking for new locations for dispatching the nuisance skunks.

You say tomato, I say potato A plant that produces both potatoes and tomatoes, described as a “veg plot in a pot”, has been launched in Britain. The TomTato can grow more than 500 sweet cherry tomatoes while producing white potatoes. Horticultural mail order company Thompson & Morgan, which is selling the plants for £14.99 ($A25.91) each, says the hybrid plants are individually handcrafted and not a product of genetic engineering.

■ BLUE SEPTEMBER

Blue beard for prostate

Jonathan Taylor became Bluebeard the pirate all for a good cause yesterday.

Photo tetsuro MitoMo 260913-tM-071

Onlookers could be forgiven for thinking they were watching Smurf hair stylists at work outside The Warehouse yesterday.

But in fact, the group of four Warehouse employees who dyed their hair blue were raising funds for prostate cancer research, and awareness about the disease.

Denise Scrivener, Karen Burns and Tracey Crawford volunteered to have their locks coloured, while Jonathan Taylor opted for a blue beard. Warehouse manager Nick Boyd and assistant manager Lucy Adams, aided by Merle Anderson discovered their “blue fingers” and applied the colour.

Mr Crawford, who organised the fundraiser in the memory of her father who died as a result of prostate cancer in December, had bleached her hair prior to yesterday’s treatment – to ensure it would be effective.

The dye will last up to 20 washes – or about three weeks, but in Mr Taylor’s case the beard may have to go. He is getting married in just over a month, and didn’t think his wife-tobe would be keen on marrying Bluebeard the pirate. Collection buckets will be in-store until the end of the month.

■ HEPATITIS A

Preschools urge parents to act responsibly

By Myles HuMe

Myles.h@theguardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury early childhood centres cannot ban children if they are not immunised against hepatitis A, but some local providers say it would be irresponsible to put children at risk.

The Canterbury District Health Board will hold free hepatitis A vaccination clinics across Mid Canterbury from October 8 for 1500 children aged between 1-4, with health authorities strongly urging parents to vaccinate their children to stop the epidemic.

Early Childhood Council chief executive Peter Reynolds said vaccinations were not compulsory, and if the child did not pose a health risk they were within their rights to continue attending early childhood centres.

He said most centres advised parents

to keep their child away for a period of time if they risked passing on serious illnesses, and could take the “extreme measure” of suspending enrolments if they posed a major health problem.

“There are no rules as such that require a child to be vaccinated, we don’t take that step in New Zealand, but it is up for debate in Australia,” he said.

“I think the responsible thing to do would be to vaccinate your child, but I wonder about the merit of offering vaccinations to parents and child care workers as well.”

Ashburton Baptist Early Learning Centre manager Lorraine Bennet supported the decision but said the clinic should have been set up earlier as a lot of parents had already vaccinated their children.

If parents chose not to vaccinate, she

said the centre would probably take a register of which children weren’t vaccinated so if there was an outbreak they could identify those at risk.

Amanda Moore, of Tiddlywinks, said there needed to be more information provided to parents about hepatitis A vaccinations.

“I think it’s entirely up to parents what they do, every parent does what they believe is best for their child,” she said.

“But I bet a lot of parents out there will not be making a decision until they have done some research on it.”

Parents of 1-4 year olds can collect consent forms from their preschool or GP and should complete it prior to attending the clinic.

Children will need to remain at the clinic for 20 minutes after their vaccination for observation.

WE LISTEN TO YOU

Police step up hunt for Chch rapist A young woman was raped in her Christchurch home while caring for her 7-month-old baby by a man who talked his way inside, saying he was there to inspect storm damage, police said.

Police have released a detailed description of the attacker, saying he is a Maori or Polynesian aged in his 40s, of tall and stocky build.

The victim raised the alarm about 11am on Tuesday morning.

Detective Senior Sergeant Darryl Sweeney, leading the hunt, says the man has a large nose with some red markings,

a slightly bushy moustache and dark, mop-like hair almost to his eyebrows and covering his ears.

Police earlier believed his top two teeth were missing, but now think that one or two teeth might be missing on one side of his mouth.

At the time of the incident he was reported to be wearing an orange sleeveless hi-visibility vest with a silver reflector strip around the waist area, light blue straight-cut jeans and white sneakers.

“We now have an excellent description of the offender, and we are confident

that this will give added momentum to our investigation,” Mr Sweeney said.

Police are not releasing a computergenerated image of the suspect.

“The number one focus for our team is now on locating the man responsible for this crime - and we are appealing for all possible assistance from the public to identify and apprehend him.”

Mr Sweeney said police now have a clearer picture of the events of Tuesday morning at the women’s Middlepark Road flat. The victim is now with family and is being well supported.

■ QUAKE REBUILD

In brief

Old buildings still being assessed

Holiday programmes Nine organisations applied for funding from the Ashburton District Council for running school holiday programmes, but only seven were successful. The groups applied for $12,560 worth of funds but the council’s grants committee opted to give out just $5000, declining applications from the Ashburton Golf Club and Base Youth Centre. Sport Canterbury received $1800, St David’s Union Church, $1500, St Paul’s Presbyterian Church, $750, South Rakaia Bach Owners Assn, Te Hub Environment Centre, Methven Te Puawaitanga Trust, $250 each and Rakaia Presbyterian Church, $200.

Tough calls The Ashburton District Council’s grants committee was forced to make some tough calls when it considered which groups should receive funding from its funding pool. It received 36 applications totaling $116,208 and opted to give away $50,000 to 26 of those.

The biggest winners were St Vincent de Paul and the Southern Netball Club which received the $5000 for which they asked, with the Rakaia War Memorial Community Centre having its request for $3818 met. The Rakaia Reserve Board secured the $3500 it asked for while the Hinds Community Centre had asked for $5000 but received $3371.

Voting slow

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

A mixed bag of results is coming out of initial post-earthquake engineering assessments on Ashburton’s commercial buildings.

In May last year the Ashburton District Council contacted owners of more than 300 of the district’s pre-1976 buildings asking them to have their property assessed by a structural engineer.

The council wanted to identify the earthquake prone status of those buildings and gave owners until May this year to have inspections completed and reports filed. That initial assessment would determine how the building compared with the new building code; if it was below 33 per cent then it would be rated an earthquake prone building.

The deadline for assessments has passed and council building services manager Michael Wong said the response rate had been pleasing. All but 36 owners have been in touch with the council.

Of the responses received, 128 have been found on initial assessment not to be earthquake prone while 105 fall into the earthquake prone bracket. These will need a more detailed assessment to accurately identify the risk, Mr Wong said.

“If they’re confirmed to be earthquake prone we’ll suggest a strengthening approach. An initial engineering assessment is very much an indicator only and more work is usually needed to understand the level of risk associated with a particular building.”

Initially the council had threatened to take a tough line with building owners

who did not meet their inspection deadline or who had not contacted them to discuss options. While it had suggested it could step in, have the job done and charge the owner for the work, Mr Wong said it would not be taking this approach with the tardy 36 owners.

“We are concerned that the owners of 36 buildings have not been in contact but we hope those we haven’t heard from are having their buildings assessed and are taking a responsible approach. Our primary concern is public safety and we certainly expect building owners to share this view,” he said.

To date the council has issued 21 consents for building strengthening following engineering assessments.

The Government has indicated it will make changes to earthquake prone building legislation late this year and the council will then review its policy.

Custom falls off after agencies forced to move

BY SUE NEWMAN

SUE.N@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Two community facilities that between them had almost 40,000 visitors a year, have lost out by being forced to relocate after the Canterbury earthquakes.

Community House and Safer Ashburton have both moved to new locations, but that move has almost halved their business, district councillor John Leadley told yesterday’s meeting of the Ashburton District

Council’s finance committee.

A council-owned building on the corner of Cass and Tancred Street, that previously housed Community House, was demolished because of earthquake damage.

The organisation relocated to a temporary base at the rear of a central town building.

Safer Ashburton, however, had to move out of the town centre and that has meant it has lost at least half of its client base, Mr Leadley said.

Both are keen to return to the town centre and Community House is undertaking a feasibility study around the options of establishing in a new, town centre base. As it works towards this, it has asked the council for support in the form of the gift of a site or assistance in acquiring a new building.

Because the project was still in its early stages, council business services manager Paul Brake suggested the council supported the project in princi-

ple until the group’s plans were more developed.

As part of its role in the redevelopment of the central business area, councillor Don McLeod said the council needed to keep an eye on the area to ensure there were opportunities for groups such as Community House and Safer Ashburton to be included.

“These organisations form a very important part of the social fabric of this community,” Mr Leadley said.

Voters in the Ashburton District appear to be turning their back on this year’s local body elections with voting document returns lagging woefully behind the 2010 return rate. In the four days since voting papers were distributed just 6.27 per cent have been returned. At the same time in 2010 the return rate was 16.38 per cent (1338 voting papers compared to 3350).

Reward for info Southern police have taken the unusual step of posting a $20,000 reward in the hope of finding Simon James Garrick, last seen by his family a year ago. His sister, Paula, yesterday described the 42-year-old as a “bit of a ratbag” in his teenage years, a loving uncle with a great sense of humour, a good brother and a hard worker.

The last confirmed sighting of the Kingston man him was at 2pm on October 30 last year, when he bought a pie, razors and a newspaper from Caversham Four Square Supermarket in Dunedin.

Body found on beach Police converged on Pilot Bay in Tauranga yesterday after the body of an 81-year-old local man washed up. A member of the public walking on the beach called police after spying the body in the shallows about 10.40am. An officer pulled the body to shore and the area was cordoned off.

A tarpaulin held down with sand and surrounded by cones covered the body. A police photographer took shots of the body as officers held up the tarpaulin to shield the body from onlookers’ view until undertakers arrived. The elderly man’s vehicle was found at Salisbury Wharf.

■ AMERICA’S CUP

A lone Oracle Team USA supporter stands and wave a flag while watching a live telecast of the 19th race of the America’s Cup sailing event between Emirates Team New Zealand and Oracle Team USA on a big screen in Auckland. Team New Zealand lost 9-8 after Team USA rallied to win eight consecutive races including the 19th race in the longest regatta in Cup history.

Team NZ future in balance after loss Team New Zealand’s future hangs in the balance after Oracle retained the America’s Cup in a gripping race yesterday morning, with team boss Grant Dalton bowing out and the Government yet to decide whether it will fund another tilt.

Messages of support for the Kiwi team have rolled in since they lost by match point to Oracle Team USA in San Francisco this morning, with Prime Minister John Key saying he was very proud and All Blacks coach Steve Hansen calling the loss “gutting”.

But despite the support of New Zealanders at home and abroad, doubts remain about Emirates Team New Zealand’s future because of the cost of mounting another challenge.

The Government is yet to decide whether to fund another challenge after stumping up $36 million for the most recent campaign, while Dalton, who indicated he would end his 10-year

run with the team, was also uncertain about whether it would challenge again.

The 56-year-old has been boss of Team New Zealand since the failed campaign in Auckland in 2003, and for some time was seen as a lucky charm when on board the team’s AC72 catamaran.

“It’s too early to say,” Dalton said when asked if they will challenge again. “It will be quite difficult now. I always felt that it would be difficult for the team to stay together, particularly financially.”

Mr Key said the loss was “gut wrenching” but he believed there would be a lot of pride in New Zealand about the way the team had conducted itself.

He said decisions were yet to be made about whether the Government would fund another campaign or to try to ensure Team NZ could retain key people.

However, he indicated it was

likely, and hoped to discuss whether another campaign was possible. It was too early to have those discussions today, and Team NZ would want to regroup and think about its next steps first.

Mr Key said he believed the $36m pumped into the campaign well spent, but it was not just about what the Government was willing to do.

“There’s a lot of things you have to consider before you put taxpayers’ money on the line.”

Team NZ skipper Dean Barker was ashen in defeat, with his first words after the race: “It’s very hard to swallow.”

He said the team gave its all.

“We left nothing on the table.

We knew that we had a fight on our hands upwind; sailing a boat that fast is hard to swallow.”

Barker said he was incredibly proud of the team and what it had achieved.

“I am gutted we didn’t get the last win we needed to take this

Oracle crew keep secret on speed gains

Oracle Team USA tactician Ben Ainslie (left) and skipper Jimmy Spithill arrive dockside.

Oracle Team USA’s secret weapon is still that - secret.

Attempts to loosen Oracle’s tongues about the reason behind their sudden, America’s Cup-winning technology that saw their boat go from a long way astern to a long way ahead upwind failed yesterday.

In the after-race press conference both Oracle skipper Jimmy Spithill and Oracle boss Larry Ellison gave oblique answers to questions about their hidden weapon. Spithill gave a rambling answer which con-

cluded with the contention that “it wasn’t any one thing” but a raft of small changes which had added up to big speed gains.

Ellison was more direct, saying: “You’re going to have to figure it out for next time.”

Emirates Team New Zealand publicly maintain the stance that the Oracle amendments to the boat were vetted by the measurement committee and are thus compliant.

However, there are still many unanswered questions about the improvements.

But not only were Oracle’s principals giving nothing away yesterday, it is also understood that the whole Oracle crew have just signed a renewed confidentiality, non-disclosure agreement.

That leaves speculation - and most of it is centred around Oracle’s automated foils system and/or the possibility that they have managed to find a way to include a gyro stabiliser or something similar. Those systems could help explain why the boat has beaten the New

Zealand boat in that it was quicker to foil, foiled more stably and for longer periods, and put on bursts of speed that decided races.

On first glance such a system looks like it would contravene the America’s Cup rules that state that systems must be manually operated and not by stored power.

But the might of Oracle, US technology and money seems to have figured out a way to win the science and technology race that Team NZ once led.

■ EDUCATION

Worries over adult learning courses

By Myles HuMe

Myles.h@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton education providers are in a state of uncertainty after plans were revealed to scrap an adult learning course that has helped many local beneficiaries into jobs.

Earlier this month, Tertiary Education minister Steven Joyce announced he would wind down the Foundation Focused Training Opportunities (FFTO) programme at the end of this year because not enough beneficiaries were moving into jobs or higher level study.

Mr Joyce plans to replace the

programme with other courses.

YMCA Ashburton manager Avis Page said the FFTO programme had led many beneficiaries on the path to employment in Ashburton, with 63 per cent of the 20 students last year reaching the grade.

The FFTO programme aims to help learners with low qualifications, and who are at risk of longterm unemployment, to engage in further education and training.

Ms Page has since stopped taking enrolments for the FFTO programme next year, but what is most concerning is not know-

■ FARMING

Stubble burning an essential tool

ing what will replace it.

“I’m not sure what’s going to happen, there’s definitely a bit of uncertainty until we know what’s going to replace it.”

Ms Page said it was “an absolute shame” the FFTO course was not going ahead next year, and the YMCA’s national body was now working with tertiary education authorities to work out what will happen next year.

Salvation Employment Plus Ashburton has four FFTOfunded positions that will be cut next year. A spokesperson said the cuts would “disempower” some adult learners, and could

have deeper flow on affects.

“It might not seem like much, but that’s four employees and four families. There’s also the inter-generational transition of values you have to think about, the child sees the parent working and learning, so they are going to do the same.”

A spokesman for Tertiary Education, Skills and Employment Minister Steven Joyce said in the past year only 28 per cent of participants went into work after the FFTO programme – below the 38 per cent target, while 17 per cent went into higher education.

He said the funding would be “reprioritised” into other programmes including the Youth Guarantee scheme for 16-19 year olds, ESOL courses and industry intensive short-term training.

The Ministry of Social Development and Tertiary Education Commission are working with providers across the country, including Mid Canterbury, to help bring in new courses.

“Most FFTO providers already provide other foundationlevel training and may be able to access additional funding through these in 2014.”

Safer homes for all

By MicHelle NelsoN Michelle.n@theguardian.co.nz

A new report recognises stubble burning is a key tool in getting rid of crop residue, but it says more could be done to minimise smoke problems.

The review of the role of stubble burning in New Zealand, including alternative options and possible improvements report was prepared by the Foundation for Arable Research (FAR) for Environment Canterbury.

FAR director of research Nick Poole said the report found stubble burning was essential for the establishment of small seed export crops, such as grass and vegetable seed which cannot be grown amidst large amounts of residue from previous crops.

Many of these high value crops are grown in Mid Canterbury.

Federated Farmers Grain and Seed chairperson and Mid Canterbury farmer Ian Mackenzie was involved in the research leading up to the report.

He said it confirmed what farmers already knew; that stubble burning is not simply an indiscriminate tool to dispose of unwanted material, but a key cultural tool used for sound agronomic, economic and environmental reasons.

“New Zealand has some of the highest grain yields in the world, and that also translates to a lot more straw than is present in other countries. This unique challenge means that we need all tools available to arable farmers to control weeds and establish crops,” Mr Mackenzie said.

However, he suggested burn offs were conducted on a rotational basis, rather than every

year, to avoid excessive chemical use and more cultivation, which damages the soil structure.

“The report also indicates that farmers are, by and large, using this tool responsibly and feedback from local councils is that most farmers are acting in accordance with regulations,” Mr Mackenzie said.

“There is a code of practice, developed by Federated Farmers, to manage some of the possible adverse effects of stubble burning and our members need to ensure that they are keeping to that.

“Growers who are using this tool must be considerate of wind direction and strength before lighting, particularly those close to built-up areas.”

Federated Farmers will be working with FAR in the lead up to harvest season to make sure that farmers are aware of their obligations, and explain to rural community just how vital to arable farming stubble burning is.

How safe is your property?

Safer Ashburton has initiated the Safer Homes project to help you out with those hazards which could cause an accident – but you’ve not had time to deal with.

Coordinator Nicky Steinmetz will visit your property and carryout a safety audit – which takes about 30 minutes.

She can then offer an hour of her time to help deal with any hazards she identifies.

Now that spring is here slime and lichen have replaced ice as the number one culprit for causing slippery surfaces, particularly on decking.

The warmer weather has also prompted plant growth, and low hanging branches can also prove dangerous.

But it’s often the less obvious things that trip us up – such as uncoiled hoses, and items inadvertently left in thoroughfares, Ms Steinmetz said.

“I’ve got power tools, a water blaster and gardening tools,” she said.

“I can clean up, take care of basic maintenance work, lop off overhanging branches – and identify issues which might need extra work.”

Safer Ashburton receive community funding to run the programme, which is available to anyone of working age.

Money woes continue for polytech

By Myles HuMe

Myles.h@theguardian.co.nz

Aoraki Polytechnic’s financial worries continue as it calculates another major operating deficit, forcing it to cut costs.

Acting chief executive Alex Cabrera said the polytechnic looked to be failing to meet its equivalent fulltime students (EFTS) targets this year, with predictions the shortfall could be up to 400 EFTS, potentially

■ COUNCIL

Event centre needs time to pay bill When it was built, the Ashburton Trust Event Centre was valued at $7 million; today it is worth $12m.

And that rise in value combined with rocketing insurance premium costs has seen the performing arts trust charged with running the complex, looking at a balance sheet that is running in the red.

While it was able to keep on the right side of the ledger in a normal year, the increase in insurance premiums meant it had a yawning gap in its budget.

The council has paid insurance premiums on the trust’s behalf in the past, with the money repaid in monthly installments.

At yesterday’s finance committee meeting, Ashburton District Council business support manager Paul Brake suggested the council give the trust six months to pay the current insurance bill because it was still paying off the previous account.

“This effectively parks the account and it lets us see how they’re trading in six months time. The advice I have is that they’ll be able to trade through the next six months but with the insurance bill it will just be too tight,” he said.

Councillor Darryl Nelson likened the event centre to a community pool – a community facility that would never really pay its way. Paying insurance for the event centre was no different to the situation with rural halls where the council also paid insurance premiums, he said.

inflicting a $1.6m blow.

“The most recent update forecasts an operating deficit of $1.6m compared to the budget defect of $800,000. The position could potentially deteriorate significantly to negative 400 EFTS which could equate to more than a $2m deficit,” Mr Cabrera said in a recent management report.

The polytechnic has a campus in Ashburton, while several local students travel to the Tima-

ru headquarters by bus daily.

The revelation comes after the polytechnic posted an operating deficit of $1.6m in 2011 and last year broke even after a projected deficit of another $1.6m, but that was largely due to reduced depreciation charges and the postponement of some planned capital expenditure.

Mr Cabrera blamed the economy, low unemployment and current demand for a range of

tertiary courses for not meeting its enrolment numbers and its subsequent projected deficit.

The polytechnic now has plans to cut operating expenses to “alleviate some of the impact”.

“I am confident we have ensured there will be no impact on students. Control initiatives have been in non-core areas, such as travel and accommodation, printing and consumables, and maintenance,” he said.

While it was vital the polytechnic stopped leaking money, Mr Cabrera said it was fortunate to have reserves, $30m, to allow for future investment.

“For 2014 we need to take into consideration the environmental factors mentioned above (economy, employment etc), as well as undertaking a detailed assessment of business operations to better inform our targets for next year.”

■ DRINK DRIVING

Bill wants lower blood alcohol levels A member’s bill which would reduce the amount of alcohol New Zealanders could legally drink before driving has been pulled from the ballot yesterday.

Labour MP Iain Lees-Galloway’s Land Transport (Safer Alcohol Limits for Driving) Amendment Bill was one of two bills added to Parliament’s workload.

It would lower the allowable blood alcohol content (BAC) for adults from 0.08g per 100ml to 0.05g per 100ml.

The bill’s policy statement said: “There is demonstrable evidence and research already available which shows enough driver impairment between the proposed 0.05 limit and the 0.08

limit to warrant action. A drug and alcohol expert from the United Kingdom has estimated that this measure could reduce our road toll by two-thirds as it would alter driver behaviour.”

The Government was already reviewing New Zealand’s drink-drive limits, which were among the highest in the world.

A study which counted how many injuries and deaths were caused by drivers who had a BAC between 0.05g and 0.08g was expected to come before Cabinet at the end of this year.

The second bill to be pulled from the ballot was former Labour leader David Shearer’s Education (Food in Schools) Amendment Bill.

It would make food in schools

Iain Lees-Galloway

available to all decile 1 to 3 primary and intermediate schools.

The scheme could be expanded to more schools if funding was available.

The preamble to the legislation said: “This Bill is intended to be permissive rather than prescriptive. It provides for schools to be eligible for assistance from designated food in school providers on the basis of indicators of need that the Ministry will be responsible for specifying.”

Labour MP Maryan Street’s member’s bill, which would have legalised euthanasia, has been removed from the ballot.

But Ms Street confirmed that she had dropped the bill.

It is believed that her party encouraged her to remove it from the ballot out of concern that it could be a negative distraction during election year.

Prison for punch

Friends bond over bar The new Bedrock Bar and Stonegrill in Allenton will open its door for business next week, and owners Armand van-der-Eik, Francis Renner and Phill Hooper could not be more excited. pHoto tetsuro MitoMo 250913-tM-063

A tack away from the sports pub atmosphere has the new owners of Allenton’s only bar and restaurant confident they will bring the establishment back to its former glory.

Ashburton friends Phill Hooper, Francis Renner, Armand van-der-Eik and his wife Katrina are embarking on their first business venture together, which will be officially realised when they open the doors to the new Bedrock Bar and Ston-

egrill on Thursday next week.

The bar and restaurant will replace what has in recent years been a sports bar, with the latest business occupying the Harrison Street premises, Revival, closing down earlier this year.

Mr van-der-Eik said the new establishment will be quite different to previous bars, with its café opening at 8am, combining with a stonegrill and a la carte menu for lunch and dinner.

It will also feature space for an indoor-outdoor bar area, which will be rid of pokie ma-

chines and pool tables.

He said the stonegrill menu, which allows customers to cook their meat on a 400 degrees Celsius stone, provided a real point of difference.

“We think that is going to be a real big winner, it’s exclusive to Mid Canterbury, but we are not limited to that because with our a la carte menu you can choose whatever you want.”

All three men admitted they had never owned and operated a bar before, but with their personalities and experience they

are excited about what potential their new business holds.

“We know this will work, from what we have been hearing from people we have spoken to they are saying this will work, they have been waiting for something like this to happen,” Mr van-der-Eik said.

Given only two months ago they decided to take on the business venture, the bar is now in the final stages before its unveiling on Thursday, with all 14 staff hired – two of those qualified chefs.

Website rates Mid Canty preschools Myles.h@theguardian.co.nz

A new website that will publicly rate Mid Canterbury early childhood services has preschool managers pleading caution, while the site’s creator says it will become a vital tool for parents.

Early childhood education (ECE) expert Sarah Farquhar yesterday launched her new website, myece.org.nz, which aims to provide more accountability in New Zealand ECE centres and aid parents in making informed decisions when sending their child into care.

“It’s all at one place. Myece. org.nz will offer access to a directory of early childhood services across New Zealand along with statistics and ratings, and descriptions of the different

types of service available,” she said.

With the information being short, sharp and up to date, she said it would become “quite an important” tool for parents to make vital decisions over childcare.

Ashburton Montessori Preschool manager Tessa Skevington said caution was needed.

“It looks as though they have got their information from ERO (Education Review Office) reports and information we send to the ministry, so they are not writing it on what they see in preschools and parents can provide feedback.

“In some ways it’s a good thing, but it could be turned around to be a negative thing, parents could write what they want.”

Tricks from home A serial fraudster who worked as a prostitute while on home detention has yesterday been jailed for two years, six months. Andrea De La Hunt, 40, aka Phipps, aka Wilson, has a long criminal history, including a jail term for attempting to murder an ex-partner, and has now racked up more than 130 convictions for dishonesty dating back to 2001. She was sentenced to 12 months’ home detention in November 2011 for a series of fraud offences, which saw her steal more than $35,000 from friends, neighbours, employers, and authorities.

■ EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION

By Myles HuMe

A Wanganui man has been sentenced to three years in prison for punching his partner in the stomach in a second attempt to make her lose their baby. What Jesmond Albert Mosen, 27, did was extraordinarily dangerous as well as cruel, Justice Joe Williams said in the High Court at Wanganui.

Ilana Te Huia’s baby survived two assaults from its father before it was born. Miss Te Huia was in court for the sentencing, and stood to face Mosen. “I want everyone to know what he did,” she said.

MYECE.ORG.NZ ■ Directory for centres across NZ ■ Statistics, ratings and descriptions of all centres ■ Funding and fee information ■ Minimum regulations and standards ■ NZ ECE curriculum in simple format ■ Advice on all aspects on ECE Methven Preschool manager Trish Powell said ERO reports and visits to ECE providers were the best way for a parent to grasp if it is the right place for their child.

She also urged caution, but

believed information on the page reflecting what parents should look for in ECE education would be useful.

Ms Farquhar said the number of ECE centres had grown exponentially in the past five years, particularly in Ashburton, and as competition increased there was not enough information in one place for parents to find out what childcare centres should offer nor detailed information on each centre.

Although it potentially put reputations on the line with newspaper articles and detailed reports, she pointed out child care centres would not need to worry if they were operating well.

“A good ECE centre is transparent, and wants parents to know what’s on offer.”

Kiwi teen music sensation Lorde (below) has made it into the top 10 of music’s most influential young stars list by Billboard magazine.

The 16-year-old Aucklander - who will release her debut album, Pure Heroine, today - has been named the sixth “hottest minor” of the year, by the influential music magazine. Raving about Lorde, Billboard said it was “time to hail” the “fascinating new talent” with a top 10 position. At this time last year, Ella Yelich-O’Connor was an unknown 15-year-old in New Zealand, still two months away from releasing her debut EP for free on the Internet.

OUR VIEW

How will we cope?

Coen Lammers EDITOR

S

o the unthinkable has happened.

We had one hand on the America’s Cup, only for a superior boat and a brash Australian skipper to snatch it away from us.

Every New Zealander has become an expert so we all know that billionaire Larry Ellison pulled out all stops to use military software, Boeing plane technology and mercenary Auckland boat builders to tweak the Oracle boat until it became faster.

At 8-1 down, time had nearly run out for the American team, but once their boat demonstrated superior speed the writing was on the wall.

Team New Zealand did not have the time or the resources to respond to the innovations by Team USA and yesterday most of us felt a sense of resignation as they raced away from the dejected Team New Zealand to break four million Kiwi hearts.

When the Kiwis were denied the winning point last Saturday, using a time limit rule that noone had ever heard off, something snapped in our unwavering conviction of a triumphant outcome.

It will be intriguing how this country will view the moment in the weeks or years to come.

Was it a valiant defeat against superiorly-funded opposition?

The biggest choke in world sport? Or will we be gracious enough to see the event as the greatest comeback in the history of sport?

We all hate the result, but we cannot deny that the past two weeks have delivered one of the most dramatic sporting events we will ever witness. The sport of yachting was the real winner, but few of us would care about that.

Historically, much of our national psyche, mood and confidence have been linked to our sporting success, but I hope we are growing out of that.

Sponsors and the Government are unlikely to pour more millions into another campaign as the stakes get even higher, so the real tragedy of yesterday’s defeat is that it may have been the last Kiwi boat to compete in an America’s Cup.

YOUR VIEW Council elections An envelope containing voting papers and some guidance for the upcoming local election was a surprise, the return envelope was even more so, to an Auckland address!

When and by whom was this radical departure from the normal and accepted methodology approved?

I can think of at least 10 mistakes/faults that can occur during this adopted process and it would certainly indicate that the normally accepted checks and balances have been abandoned.

Perhaps the new administration is so engrossed with installing mirrors on the walls that core duties are being dispensed with.

It has been proven over the years that local knowledge is essential to the voting procedure and the physical act of recording one’s vote should be done locally as with the checking, counting and declaring.

CRUMB

All of these and many more steps seemingly are at the discretion and professed honesty of some contractors and we all know that contractors will only do what is required to finish the task, this being simplified by inadequate supervision.

I wonder if any local staff members are going to Auckland for the count and professed supervision?

I feel we are entitled to some names, who advanced the idea?

Who voted for the idea? Who costed the idea? And, importantly, did anyone put a case against.

From lost in the mail situations to votes discarded because of a lack of local knowledge or even incompetence. Lacking competent local supervision at each stage turns the whole into an expensive farce and a loss of local control.

I would sincerely trust your paper will view this matter as very serious and a move of vital importance to the commu-

nity. The names of all involved would be a good start.

Intersection project I have to agree with Mr O’Donnell’s letter to the editor on Monday regarding the domain and intersection project.

The topic of better communication and consultation has and will remain a hot topic, however, as this project reveals, unfortunately, the message still fails to get through to those so called “experienced” councillors pushing this project through, at any cost before departing.

Information being passed to the public, via the media, is obscure and confusing to say the least because on Friday, Sept 6, the Guardian stated Cr Nelson was seeking further consultation fearing concerns of a protest.

It was also stated that users

of the green space, in conjunction with the still-being-produced Development Plan for the domain, would guide decisions of the preferred entrance.

However, once again information relevant to the consultation process is removed from the equation, while council chastise the public for not taking an interest.

Unfortunately, absolutely nothing has been learnt from the past few years; a situation worsened by having a weak mayor relying on consultants and unable to lead council effectively.

Ed Gates

Bridge debate Just for interest sake could you please publish the names of the councillors who voted in favour of the new museum and those in favour of where the proposed new bridge is to go?

Is old school Boulevard best?

POLL RESULT Yesterday’s result Q: Should it be easier to access debt relief advice and support?

Left – From Hoops in the Morning Facebook page.

Phill Hooper OFF THE AIR

R

emember the Boulevard Days of years gone by?

I was selling radio advertising for 3ZE in the ‘90s and remember saying to Guyon Campbell (station manager): “I’m just off to see some clients at Boulevard Day to see if they want any crossovers (live phone calls to the studio).”

I’m sure he knew I just wanted to get down there as early as possible to get the best of the bargains. The clients didn’t need any advertising on the day, that had been well and truly covered by the retailers’ association for at least two weeks prior. You had to be living under a rock to miss either hearing or reading about it.

I remember live breakfast shows from East Street, followed up with crossovers for the rest of the day to build up the atmosphere.

I fondly remember Terry Thompson standing on top of his step ladder outside Hannahs with his bullhorn speaker, auctioning off shoes for most of the day. You’re probably thinking how did he get enough shoes to auction all day from a small store like Ashburton?

Being a great one for thinking outside the box, Terry would get “rats and mice” shoes from Hannahs stores all over the country and, I’m sure, clip the ticket on the way through.

I remember Kevin Soster interviewing stallholders about their super buys on the loudspeakers down the street.

(Whatever happened to those speakers?)

I remember entertainment of some sort throughout the day, everything from aerobics demos to country singers.

Today’s online poll question Q: Should New Zealand enter the America’s Cup in future?

(Poll closes at 4pm on Friday)

CONTACTS News tips Call 03 307-7957 reporters@theguardian.co.nz

It all added to the atmosphere, there was a real buzz about Boulevard Day. What’s happened?

The morning of Boulevard Day I asked on Facebook, who was going to have a look at it.

A high percentage of those who replied didn’t know it was on. Several said it was too expensive to bother battling the crowds. Some wished they could but were going to be stuck at work all day.

I popped down the street for a look on the day and ended up playing spot the local stall holder. It looked like “another market day in another town”.

Nothing against the out-oftown stallholders, good on them for taking their opportunity, but is stone cookware, t-shirts and the like really what Boulevard Day is about?

I get the feeling that in recent times, filling all the stall sites (and the revenue that creates) is more important than the overall success of the day.

Here’s some of the feedback I

received the following day: “$21 for 2 hot dogs, 2 pottles of chips and 2 cans of coke, never again”. “$3.60 for coloured popcorn, $1.50 at the dairy ... Just an example ... They should be locked up, thieves.”

“I walked around for 10 mins struggled to find Ashburton businesses. Bought a raffle ticket for firewood that was all. As a business owner I see local money going out of town. Doesn’t support Ashburton at all.”

So do we call it a day on Boulevard Day? I hope not!

Here’s a few of my and my listeners thoughts on its future success: ■ Give the local businesses incentives to have a stall and give them FIRST option on the sites.

■ Advertise it! At least a week before the event.

■ Have a theme for the day again, local entertainment

all day (bands and buskers, not just a DJ), loudspeakers to create a buzz.

■ Some people have said move it to the weekend so people can get there instead of working or going to school.

Trouble is a lot of people work weekends and I’m sure a lot of people (especially mums) enjoy the day without the kids there. And surely there’s enough time after school if the kids really want to have a look.

■ It’s great to welcome our neighbours from Timaru on their anniversary day, but at the end of the day it’s for the LOCALS – both retailers and shoppers.

■ Forget Bring Back Buck, Bring Back Terry!

Till next week.

■ PAKISTAN

In brief Hornet attacks

Death toll mounts

An unusual spate of hornet attacks in central China has killed at least 18 people. A health official in the Angkang city area of Shaanxi province, said more than 100 people in the area had been stung by swarms of the insects in recent months and treated in hospital, and that 18 of them died.

A handful of people are killed every year in the region by hornets, especially in forested areas, but that this year has been unusually severe, possibly because of weather changes.

Taylor appeal lost A UN-backed appeals court has confirmed Liberian ex-president Charles Taylor’s 50-year sentence for arming rebels during Sierra Leone’s brutal 1990s civil war.

“The appeals chamber... affirms the sentence of 50 years in prison and orders that the sentence be imposed immediately,” judge George King told the Special Court for Sierra Leone (SCSL).

Kenya buries dead

Pakistani villagers look for belongings amid the rubble of their destroyed homes following an earthquake in the remote district of Awaran, Pakistan. Rescuers struggled to help thousands of people injured and left homeless after their houses collapsed.

Tens of thousands of survivors of Pakistan’s earthquake are waiting for help in soaring temperatures, as the death toll rose to nearly 350 and anger grew at the slow pace of government aid.

More than 100,000 people made homeless by Wednesday’s 7.7-magnitude quake spent a second night in the open or under makeshift shelters as response teams struggled to reach the remote region in the southwestern province of Baluchistan.

Abdul Latif Kakar, the head of Baluchistan’s Provincial Disaster Management Authority, said the death toll stood at

348, more than 300 of them in Arawan district, with more than 500 injured.

The sheer scale of the territory involved is daunting - the population of Awaran is scattered over more than 21,000 square kilometres - and infrastructure is extremely limited, with few medical facilities or even roads.

On top of the remote, rugged terrain, the area is also home to Baluch separatist rebels waging a decade-long insurgency.

Highlighting the danger from militants, a helicopter carrying the head of the National Disaster Management Authority came under rocket fire in

Awaran, though no damage was done and no one was hurt.

The quake is already Pakistan’s deadliest since the devastating Kashmir tremor of 2005 which killed 73,000.

The toll is expected to rise further as rescue teams dig through the rubble of countless flattened mud-brick homes.

Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar told parliament “huge activity” was under way to help those affected but he admitted teams were struggling to reach some areas, even 40 hours after the quake.

The army has sent troops, medical staff and helicopters to help with rescue efforts, along

with seven tonnes of food and a tonne of medicine.

In Arawan town, around 200 angry survivors demonstrated outside government offices complaining they had not been given food or shelter.

“We have not received anything from the government.

We have not got any relief, there is no supply of foods or medicine,” said furious villager Abdul Latif, 25.

Temperatures in the arid region were reaching 42 degrees Celsius and many survivors said they were desperate for some relief. “We need shelter, we are lying under the open sky and have no tents.”

Driving teachers fail Market blasts kill 19 Hardly any of the drivers supervising Lplaters on NSW roads would pass a driving test, an NRMA study shows.

Just three per cent of parents and supervisor drivers managed to pass an online road rules test of 16 questions similar to the Driver Knowledge Test wannabe drivers are required to pass in order to get their learners’ licence.

That’s 18 out of 624 participants, who have either taught a learner in the past five years, or intend to in the next five years.

Having taught 80-plus learners to drive, and with 33 years’ driving experience under his belt, Stephen Barrett thought he had it in the bag.

He failed, scoring 14 out of 16. A score of 15 is needed to pass. “I was very surprised because I’m 50 years old, I’ve been driving since I was 17, I’ve kept up with road rules,” Mr Barrett said.

“Most of my friends and relatives know how good a driver I am so they all ask me to teach their kids.”

Bombers have targeted two markets in Baghdad province, killing at least 19 people, as two more died in other attacks, officials say.

Four bombs in Saba al-Bur north of the capital killed at least 12 people, while another in the predominantly Sunni neighbourhood of Dura in south Baghdad killed seven.

At least 50 people were wounded, the officials said.

Militants in Iraq often bomb areas where crowds of people gather, and have struck this year at markets, football pitches, cafes, mosques and at weddings and funerals.

Also yesterday, a magnetic

“sticky bomb” on a car killed a policeman and wounded two civilians in the northern city of Mosul.

Another similar device killed an employee of a local television station and wounded a second in Baquba, also north of Baghdad.

Iraq is experiencing its worst violence since 2008, when it was just emerging from a brutal sectarian conflict.

There are persistent fears of a return to the all-out SunniShi’ite sectarian violence that peaked in 2006-2007 and killed tens of thousands of people.

The latest violence takes the death toll to almost 700. - AP

Kenya has buried victims of a four-day mall massacre by Islamist gunmen as international forensic and security experts scanned the rubble for bodies and clues.

Weeping mourners from multiple religions gathered for the latest funerals of the 67 victims whose bodies have so far been recovered from the wreckage of Nairobi’s Westgate shopping mall. Across Kenya, flags flew at half mast for the second of three days of national mourning. President Uhuru Kenyatta announced an end to the 80-hour bloodbath late on Tuesday, with the “immense” loss of 61 civilians and six members of the security forces. Five suspected attackers were also killed, and 11 detained, officials said.

Queensland swelters Queensland has sweltered through its hottest September day ever, with temperature records smashed in 30 towns across the state.

The highest temperature recorded was 41.4 degrees Celsius at Taroom, west of Maryborough, while the mercury soared past 40 degrees in another eight localities.

Brisbane-based meteorologist Matthew Bass said yesterday’s scorcher had rewritten the history books as many towns had records dating back more than 100 years.

You’re blushing!

Tripping in public, singing in front of strangers, a growling stomach in a silent room, and pushing a door when you’re supposed to pull it can be embarrassing moments.

Many people would awkwardly blush and try to pretend it never happened, but for some people, blushing can in itself be an embarrassment to contend with.

Murdoch University researchers in Western Australia say ibuprofen gel could be a cheap and effective way to reduce blushing. Lead author Peter Drummond said some people worried about blushing because they feared people noticing and thinking less of them, which only made them blush more.

“For some, this fear is so extreme that they avoid social encounters and sometimes even seek surgery to reduce the rush of blood.”

Kiwi caught up in Libor scandal

By Jamie Gray A New Zealand employee of major British finance house ICAP is at the centre of the latest episode of the long-running Libor rate rigging scandal that has rocked London and New York financial centres over the last year.

He has been named as New Zealand resident Darrell Read, a yen derivatives broker.

ICAP has agreed to pay about $US87 million to settle US and UK charges of manipulating Libor - a key global interest rate.

■ SMARTPHONE HOLIDAY

In brief New crew in space

Put your phone away . . .

An American and two Russians have boarded the International Space Station after a lightning journey from Earth, on a mission that will see the Olympic torch for the 2014 Sochi Games taken into space for the first time. Michael Hopkins of NASA and Oleg Kotov and Sergei Ryazansky of Russia blasted off without a hitch from the Baikonur space centre that Moscow leases from Central Asia’s ex-Soviet republic of Kazakhstan.

Their Soyuz-TMA-10M capsule docked successfully with the ISS just six hours later, in a new short cut route now used by the Russian space agency.

By Melissa Grant We use them on the toilet and let them interrupt our sex lives - our obsession with smartphones is so shameless one Aussie tourist destination is taking unprecedented action to curb it.

In a world first, Queensland’s Sunshine Coast is introducing a ‘smartphone code of conduct’ to help phone-addicted visitors make the most of their holiday.

Tourism operators are also backing the code, which encourages holidaymakers to kiss their mobiles goodnight, remove phones from restaurant tables and enjoy their food before uploading photos of it.

Sunshine Coast Destination Limited (SCDL) CEO Simon Ambrose says the region’s tourism operators like the initiative because they are finding it increasingly difficult to communicate with visitors.

“The general feeling you get when talking to business operators is that it can be a bit disconcerting when people are constantly talking on their phones,” Mr Ambrose told AAP. “What we are saying is you need technology - it’s just what you do with it.”

Tourism and Events Queensland uncovered disturbing trends from research they commissioned into our mobile habits.

Almost half of Australians (48 per cent) have been interrupted by their phones during sex, while 53 per cent admitted to using their phones on the toilet.

Etiquette expert Anna Musson says Australians are so hung up on their smartphones that they can’t even put them down while on holiday.

Finding new apps A crowd-sourcing competition run by one of the major banks has led to seven finalists pitching their mobile banking apps to judges.

The finalists stand to win a $10,000 cash prize and another $50,000 to develop their smartphone app.

Westpac launched a challenge in July, inviting developers and designers to create a new app which would improve the banking process for its customers. Bank staff carried out a road trip around a number of tertiary institutions, schools and incubators around the country. The two winning teams would get $10,000 in cash and Westpac would pay $50,000 to have the apps developed.

Pay via Facebook

“

we’ve even eaten it,” Mrs Musson told AAP. “Australians have a severe case of FOMO - a Fear Of Missing Out - if they don’t check their phone every 10 minutes.”

The ‘smarter smartphone code of conduct’ will be plastered on everything from coasters to taxi interiors across the Sunshine Coast.

All of the major tourism attractions and a number of

New Zealanders will soon be able to make payments through Facebook using a new mobile banking app being launched by ASB Bank. Available from midJuly, ASB Mobile will allow people to pay their Facebook ‘friends’ without using a bank account number, regardless of whether they are an ASB customer or not. The ability to pay and receive money via Facebook is a breakthrough for the NZ market, said Anna Curzon, ASB general manager of brand experience and digital channels.

“Kiwis are increasingly engaging with friends, family and businesses through social media and on average they have more Facebook friends than the typical Facebook user globally,” Curzon said. “We know from talking to our customers that they are seeking out quicker, more convenient, and safer ways to make payments that reflect their lifestyle.”

- NZH

hotel and restaurants in the region are also introducing ‘unplugged zones’ that urge holidaymakers to be smart about their phone use.

Mrs Musson applauded the Sunshine Coast area for introducing the mobile behaviour guidelines, and hoped that other destinations would follow suit.

“If it went national we’d be a nicer country,” she said.

“We are losing the art of conversation because rather than making small talk with someone we are playing on our smartphones.”

In brief Ferns big winners The Football Ferns have claimed their first piece of silverware outside Oceania in 38 years by thumping China 4-0 in the final of the Valais Cup in Switzerland yesterday. After upsetting traditional powerhouses Brazil 1-0 in their opening match on Monday, a clinical second half performance sealed the tournament win in in Saviese, New Zealand’s first trophy outside their confederation since winning the Asian Cup in 1975.

After Hannah Wilkinson headed in a Ria Percival freekick in the 53rd minute, New Zealand put the foot down and the result never looked in doubt.

Kiwis off the pace Jesse Sergent was the best of the Kiwis in 21st place in the individual time trial at the world road cycling championships in Italy yesterday.

The Palmerston North rider found the flat and largely open course challenging and significantly different to most time trials in his young professional career.

The 58km course that finished in Florence was dominated by cycling’s powerhouses, won for a third time by German rider Tony Martin ahead of Olympic champion Bradley Wiggins (GBR) who pipped four-time winner Fabian Cancellara by just two seconds.

Sergent couldn’t replicate the feats of New Zealand’s Linda Villumsen, who ecome the first woman to win a time trial medal in five consecutive years at the world championships.

Walker back on the bike Olympic silver medallist Sarah Walker will make her competitive return after an injury-plagued year to compete at the UCI BMX Supercross World Cup final in California this weekend. Walker was forced out of the recent world championships in Auckland when she crashed on an already damaged shoulder in practice.

However, she has recovered and is chasing success in the final round of the World Cup at the USA Olympic base in Chula Vista in southern California. She joins eight other Kiwis to compete on the demanding Chula Vista circuit.

Ellison on the edge Oracle Team USA nearly gave billionaire backer Larry Ellison a seizure. “There’s a guy hanging off the wingsail. What’s going on?” he wanted to know just before yesterday’s deciding race in the America’s Cup. “It’s two minutes to the start and there’s a guy up the mast, putting glue on it. Glue? I mean, glue? My stress levels went up knowing that there’s something wrong with the wingsail and who’s to know if the glue will hold for the entire race. When USA 17 crossed the line, I don’t think anyone knew.”

Ellison appeared in public for the first time since the regatta began, but he was giving little away about plans or venue for the next race - or how much he’d spent on defending the Cup. - HOS

Big race still a challenge

By Jonathan Leask

jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

It may have had a few alterations in recent years but tomorrow’s 15th annual Peak to Pub multisport race maintains its identity, with a challenging journey from the top of Mt Hutt to the Blue Pub in Methven.

The race is a unique ski, bike, run combination and the relatively short length makes it quite achievable for all, and another 250 competitors will be taking up the challenge again this year.

The Peak to Pub starts at the top of Mt Hutt with a 100m dash to skis or snowboard for a giant slalom-style race to bottom.

The competitors then face the heart-stopping 19km decent down the Mt Hutt access road to the second transition.

Bikes are then exchanged for running shoes for the 11km run

into Methven’s Blue Pub, but it is no longer an ordinary road run.

It is for the most part an offroad adventure where the competitors can expect to be clambering across paddocks and have the choice of which route to take, before meeting the ‘grand finale’ near the finish.

“The Peak to Pub is mostly downhill but if doing it by yourself seems a bit daunting, grab a couple of mates and get a team together,” suggests James Urquhart General Manager of Operations Mt Hutt.

“There is nothing more rewarding than a beer at the Blue Pub with your team mates having knocked off the race from the top of Mt Hutt.”

Registrations are still open for tomorrow’s race and if there is a case of unfavourable weather, like last year, the reserve day is Sunday.

■ AMERICA’S CUP

Dalton’s Cup days are over The future of Team New Zealand is in doubt and team boss Grant Dalton thinks his association with the America’s Cup is over after Oracle retained the Auld Mug in San Francisco yesterday morning.

There had been doubt about whether Team New Zealand would be able to challenge again if they didn’t win the Cup this time around because of the huge financial toll, and Dalton had big doubts.

“It’s too early to say,” Dalton said when asked if they will challenge again.

“It will be quite difficult now.

“I always felt that it would be very difficult for the team to stay together, particularly financially.

“There’s probably will there, but I’ve probably done my time.”

Dalton has been boss of Team New Zealand since the failed campaign in Auckland in 2003.

The 56-year-old, who often sailed as a grinder on board the AC72s and for some time was

Grant Dalton: “There’s probably will there, but I’ve probably done my time”

seen as a lucky charm, came close in Valencia in 2007 when they were beaten by Alinghi 5-2 in the America’s Cup match and then again yesterday when it came down to a winner-take-all final race.

“I’m gutted,” he said.

“My job now is to really support the guys and sponsors and suck it in, really.

“At 8-1, I said to the team we

have to close this out because I have a feeling here [Oracle are on the comeback].

“I probably slept better in the last two days than I slept a week ago because I sensed it was coming.

“The luck evens itself out, I guess.

“We had opportunities to close it out and we didn’t.

“They sailed really well.

“They’ve just got better and better.

“They got a minute and a half faster upwind than they were nine days ago.

“We were 50 seconds a beat quicker and now they are 50 seconds quicker.

“They’ve done a really amazing job to turn it around.”

An emotional skipper Dean Barker broke down in tears after the final race.

He is an talented sailor and would have no trouble finding another team to sail with in the future - but only if he wants to.

“Dean is a class act and he’s feeling it more than I ever thought he would,” Dalton said.

“He’s pretty emotional.

“The guys are rallying around him.

“He’s given it everything - as we all have - and we were beaten, in the end result, by a faster boat.”

Team New Zealand sailed a faultless race yesterday, winning the start and leading for the first two legs before Oracle overtook them on the upwind leg.

“We went out there today to give it our absolute best shot and we felt we didn’t leave anything on the table,” Barker said.

“We got a good start, led around mark one and that’s all we could ask for.

“We knew upwind we had a huge fight on out hands and when you’re sailing a boat that’s going that fast it’s very hard to swallow.

“I’m incredibly proud of our team and what they’ve achieved and I’m gutted that we didn’t get the last win that we needed to take the Cup back to New Zealand.

“It’s very hard to swallow.”

■ RUGBY

In brief Heartland in Methven

Settled line-up to face Rams

BY JONATHAN LEASK

Points Table

JONATHAN.L@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

For the first time this season Mid Canterbury has been able to retain the same starting backline for consecutive weeks in the Heartland Rugby Championship.

Mid Canterbury take on King Country in Taupo tomorrow and coach Glenn Moore has named the same starting backline that took the field in last week’s win over South Canterbury.

That sees Richard Catherwood retain his spot at fullback after making a shaky start to the new position last week.

“The first five minutes wasn’t that great,” Catherwood said.

“The first kick they put up I clean dropped it and then put down a pass. I was a bit nervous.”

Catherwood, who played in the number 10 jersey last year and is usually found in the midfield, had a few nerves as it was the first time he had played fullback.

His previous experience in playing at the back was limited to a senior B for Methven earlier this year and a brief cameo in the closing stages of the round four loss to North Otago.

After the dropped balls Catherwood redeemed himself, utilising his big boot when required, set up a try and scored one of his own in the Hanan Shield win.

“It wasn’t a great start but it went okay after that.”

Wing Willie McGoon and second five eighth Esera Lauina both scored tries, with McGoon

Methven will host the New Zealand Heartland XV first of two games in November. The New Zealand Heartland XV, a selection of the top eligible players from the Heartland Championship, will be named after the semi-finals on October 19 for two matches. The Heartland XV will battle the New Zealand Defence Force in Methven on November 5, a Tuesday, and then a play New Zealand Marist in Timaru on the Saturday. King Country’s Kurt McQuilkin will coach the Heartland XV with Gerard Scott of South Canterbury coming in as assistant coach. The squad assembles in Timaru on November 1 and McQuilkin said the New Zealand Defence and New Zealand Marist sides would provide stiff opposition.

Manly has top record

Mid Canterbury’s Richard Catherwood has been retained in the unfamiliar role of fullback for the round eight clash with King Country in Taupo tomorrow.

scoring with his first touch on debut, and suffered head knocks last week but have been cleared to play this week keeping the backline intact. The only change in the backs department has Johannes Lambrechts recover from a rib injury to take his place on the bench.

The starting forward pack has a change for the first time in five weeks, with Tavita Ula promoted to start at openside flanker replacing the injured Mitch Sim, the first change since Andrew Smith was replaced in the starting line up

by Logan Bonnington in week two.

The settled line-up will look

to get into their work early and avoid the slow starts that have plagued the season so far, but the main objective is to come away with the win at the end.

Mid Canterbury sits second on the Heartland Championship ladder but won’t be taking King Country lightly. King Country are seventh coming off a 13-24 loss to competition frontrunners Wairarapa Bush but have proved a handful this season.

After finishing 11th in the last two seasons, the Rams opened with wins over Both Meads Cup finalists, Wanganui 17-16 and East Coast 24-13, but were edged out by last year’s wooden

spooners Horowhenua Kapiti 18-19.

They bounced back to hand Thames Valley their first defeat of the season 27-22 in Taupo before being beaten by the Bush.

George Whitelock is back at number seven and will also captain the side. Matt Symons

steps into the right lock position alongside Joel Everson, and Luke Katene takes his place in the reserves. In the front row, the props change from Paea Fa’anunu and Sione Faletau to Joe Moody and Nepo Laulala.

Only Melbourne have a better recent finals record than Manly, who’ve finished in the top eight every year since 2005 and won two premierships. It’s a remarkable achievement considering the club has one of the more unstable boardrooms in the NRL and lack the financial clout of Canterbury and Parramatta who are backed by wealthy leagues clubs and the News Limited-funded Brisbane.

Tonight’s preliminary final against a South Sydney side refreshed from a week’s break will present a massive test for Geoff Toovey’s side - one many believe will be too big for his weary players.

- AAP

‘We have nothing to hide’ Two days before their NRL preliminary final, the Sydney Roosters claim they have nothing to hide after reports the club sacked a sports nutrition company after six players returned blood tests with elevated readings for Human Growth Hormone. Fairfax reported details of blood test results were found on the phone of an organised crime figure after being seized by police.

Boyd Cordner, Sam Moa and Roger Tuivasa-Sheck were players named in the report who had elevated HGH levels. “As is the case with all clubs, players have been regularly and extensively tested throughout the season by ASADA and the club has fully cooperated with the organisation’s routine tests,” a statement said.

- AAP

Souths keeping cool The Burgess clan believes those NRL fans heading to tonight’s preliminary final between Manly and South Sydney with an expectation of fireworks, frays and all-in brawls might go home disappointed. The two sides’ earlier bouts this year were some of the most heated of the regular season. “That’s in the past and you got to move forward,” George said. “There’s definitely not (any bad blood between the sides). Every team is tough and we’re looking forward to it.” Tom Burgess, the youngest of the four brothers on Souths’ books, suggested the risk of being banned for the grand final would keep foul play to a minimum.

- AAP

Clarification The Guardian would like to clarify that the first Christchurch to Timaru cycle race in 1899 was won

by G Metcalf, while Arthur Ralston recorded the fastest time.

Broom’s maiden T20 century in Jaipur, a booming 117 not out from only 56 balls carried Otago to a 14th successive T20 win, and the highest total, 242 for four, in the competition’s history.

Talk about timing. Having had their opening game rained off - and with it the loss of a possible two points - against the Mumbai Indians, Otago needed the win to put themselves in a solid position to advance past the group stage.

Losing national skipper Brendon McCullum, among the game’s most damaging short form batsmen, first ball didn’t help.

However Broom, unwanted by New Zealand for three years, got crucial support from wicketkeeper Derek de Boorder (45 off 28 balls) and T20 mercenary Ryan ten Doeschate (66 off 26 balls), leaving the bowlers a straightforward job to complete a 62-run win.

Broom belted 30 off his last nine balls, including three of his eight sixes off successive balls in the penultimate over. Dutch international ten Doeschate helped him blaze 128 off eight overs for the fourth wicket.

“The way Derek played was pretty special and ‘Tendo’ stepped up a notch, which he usually does,” Broom said.

Broom has been in the sub-continent with New Zealand A for several weeks, and admitted the preparation had done him plenty of good.

“I haven’t scored too many runs but it’s nice to prepare yourself in these conditions.”

Otago’s is the second best successive winning run in T20 and coach Vaughn Johnson conceded their days of “flying under the radar”are probably gone.

They play South Africa’s Lions in Jaipur on Sunday night, followed by the Rajasthan Royals on Wednesday. - NZH

YOUR STARS

by Forecasters

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20) In his final weeks in a romantic, playful and creatively charged part of your chart Mars, warrior planet of the cosmos is impatient.

TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) Your relationships are the first to benefit from the support your communications are getting, home and family will benefit as well.

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) With life only getting busier and more relationship focused do whatever it takes for as long as it takes to achieve a communication breakthrough.

CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) As you start asking ‘what about me’ look to both the short and long term. It begins with daring to believe in yourself and you’re worth.

LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) Until he leaves your sign Mars’ job is to get you excited about your options and to ensure that you’re living your life, your way, with no holds barred.

VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) Even though your birthday month came to an end on Monday it’s important to keep your mind and your options open.

LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) The Moon’s return to your career sector as career and income conditions peak will see your professional instincts sharp when you need it most.

SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) As the last planet to move through your career sector before lucky Jupiter returns next year Mars is already inspiring you to aim high and think big.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) While things haven’t quite gone off the boil professionally, they have eased back enough to let income, work and career matters settle.

CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) In what is already a good day for friendship and relationship building, an intuitive edge allows you to read signs, clues and subtle body language.

AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) Personal and professional forces vie for your attention today, bringing a call for balance and to ensure communication lines are open.

PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 20) As fired up and impatient as you are to gain progress on the work front, there is a need to keep one eye on the short and another on the long term.

A shattered dream Dejected Emirates Team New Zealand members stand on the podium after Oracle Team USA won the America’s Cup yesterday in San Francisco.

BY DANA JOHANNSEN Oracle Team USA have landed the final knock-out blow on Team New Zealand, taking out yesterday’s winner-takes-all race for the America’s Cup to complete their stunning comeback in a thrilling finish to a dramatic regatta.

Oracle’s Cup defence looked all but over just a week ago, with Team NZ leading the first-tonine series 8-1.

But a remarkable turnaround saw the Oracle team string together seven straight victories to tie up the series 8-all and send the match in a deciding 19th race.

Having found an extra gear upwind in the last week and half, the Oracle boat was too good for Team NZ in yesterday’s finale - leaving the Kiwi team heartbreakingly anchored on match point.

The Kiwi team did everything right in yesterday morning’s race; they won the start and

held a narrow lead at the bottom mark, but they simply could not match the pace of USA-17 upwind.

At the first cross Team NZ, on starboard tack, just managed to scrape in front of Oracle, but by the time the two teams converged again, the defenders had claimed the lead.

With every successive cross the Oracle boat seemed to have gained three or four boat lengths - extending their lead out to 26 seconds heading into the final downwind leg.

From there Oracle were well in control, and only needed to sail an error free run to keep the Cup. - NZH
