Five things that may interest you

INSIDE TODAY

Robbery attempt of sex shop

A man armed with what was believed to have been a knife escaped from a Rotorua adult shop empty-handed. Rotorua police arrested a man a short time later. He has since been charged with demanding with intent to steal and was due before the Rotorua District Court. Acting Senior Sergeant Jason Henderson said Wild Things on Pukuatua St had just been opened and the man had followed a woman in. “He demanded money,” Mr Henderson said. He didn’t get anything and left the premises on foot. He was found a short time later and was arrested and then charged.”

Long road on a backhoe

Apology 150 years in the making

A Pennsylvania man has been jailed on charges he stole a $125,000 backhoe from a suburban construction site then drove it about 50 kilometres to a scrapyard in Philadelphia where he intended to sell it. Police estimate it would have taken 33-yearold William Michael Pusey about 2½ hours to make the trip to Philadelphia from Shainline Excavating of Phoenixville, where the backhoe was stolen. State police say the backhoe’s owner was able to locate it because of a global-positioning device in it. Police say Pusey was arrested in Philadelphia where he had heard someone wanted to buy a backhoe.

It took 150 years, but a Pennsylvania newspaper said Thursday it should have recognised the greatness of President Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address at the time it was delivered. The Patriot-News of Harrisburg, retracted a dismissive editorial penned by its Civil War-era predecessor, The Harrisburg Patriot & Union. The president’s speech is now considered a triumph of American oratory. The retraction, which echoes Lincoln’s now-familiar language, said the newspaper’s November 1863 coverage was wrong when it described the speech as “silly remarks” that deserved a “veil of oblivion”. The paper now says it regrets the error of not seeing its “momentous importance, timeless eloquence and lasting significance.”

Bieber apologises Justin Bieber says he’s sorry and he hopes Argentines can forgive him. Now he may need to tell that to some judges. The 19-year-old pop star faces two criminal complaints after his wild tour in Argentina, in addition to trouble with police for allegedly spraying graffiti in Brazil and Colombia. One Argentine lawyer is accusing Bieber of sending bodyguards to attack a photographer outside a Buenos Aires nightclub. Another accuses him of defiling the national symbol by dragging two Argentine flags off stage with his feet and a microphone stand.

Kangaroo causes a stir Officers in West Texas who answered calls about a kangaroo hopping along a road helped capture the pet and return the animal to its owner. Midland County Sheriff Gary Painter says deputies thought dispatchers were crazy when calls came in from people who said they saw a kangaroo. Patrol car video shows some of the chase along a rural highway near Midland. Deputies helped corner the 1200mm-tall kangaroo as the owner offered a treat to the animal, then grabbed the pet. Painter said Midland County has an exotic animals ordinance and owners must notify the sheriff ’s office. Authorities are checking to see if a pet kangaroo falls under that category.

■ MID CANTERBURY CRIME

Lock up quad bikes, farmers told By Myles HuMe

Myles.h@theguardian.co.nz

Unsecure quad bikes on Mid Canterbury farms are being targeted by thieves once again. Ashburton police say three quad bikes in as many weeks have been stolen from farmingproperties in Rakaia and Methven with the latest in Ealing on Tuesday. Acting Senior Sergeant Tristan Murray, of Ashburton, said it had emerged as an issue in years gone by and farmers needed to realise they too were susceptible to thieves. He said they should ensure quad bikes were in a secure place

with their keys removed. “Farmers should also record the engine numbers of the bikes and take photos so we can identify them if they are taken,” Mr Murray said. Police are now urging members of the public to contact the Ashburton Police if they see quad bikes for sale, which can be worth up to $10,000, in unusual circumstances or if the seller cannot produce a robust background story. They also want sightings of quad bikes in suspicious areas to be reported. It is believed the quad bikes have been the main target of the burglaries, and although police

are keeping an open mind, they say there is a high chance the incidents are linked to one offender. “Someone would take these usually for three reasons, they could sell them on, use them for recreational activities or for something sinister such as attending plots of cannabis in the back country,” Mr Murray said. Ashburton police are continuing with inquires into the quad bike thefts, but need members of the public to come forward with information. Ashburton police can be contacted on (03) 3078400 or tips can be reported anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

■ CANTERBURY A&P SHOW

Coplands’ woolly sheep best in show By SuSan SandyS

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

“You often get more surprises than prizes at the show,” says Canterbury A&P Show competitor Mark Copland of Dromore. He and son Todd got plenty of prizes anyway, while exhibiting 10 of their border leicester sheep at the three-day show which finished yesterday. In the all breeds class, their woolly ewe hogget got best strongwool sheep in the show. The sheep had earlier won top woolly ewe hogget and supreme champion ewe. Other prizes achieved included third in ram hogget, and first, second and third in shorn ewe hogget, and second in Miss Canterbury, a class for meat and wool breeds, behind a fellow Mid Canterbury sheep, a suffolk, owned by Norm Carr. Mr Copland said while good breeding and feeding had a big part to play in producing prize winning sheep, a lot of it came down to show day luck. “You are up against your peers, the judges are there, they don’t always agree with what you might think, they have been asked to give their opinion, that’s the way I see it.” Mr Copland and his son represent the fourth generation of showing at the Christchurch show. McCombie stud was established on their 670 hectare sheep, beef and crop farm,

named Westmere, in 1932, by Mr Copland’s grandfather. He said the Canterbury show offered good competition, despite dwindling sheep numbers.

“Here it’s declined, but it’s still pretty competitive. And if you are lucky enough to get amongst the all breeds it’s still highly competitive,” Mr Cop-

Caroline Morris and Kayleigh Coole of Methven’s Red Cow Farms took home many ribbons at the Canterbury A & P show yesterday. They helped take five cows from the property to the show, and were pleased to have them win an array of ribbons, including junior champion and overall champion in the milking shorthorn section.

■ CANTERBURY A&P SHOW

Erewhon clydesdales win hearts and hotdogs BY SUSAN SANDYS

SUSAN.S@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

As the Erewhon clydesdales found their way into the hearts of Canterbury A&P show visitors, show fare found its way into the horse’s mouths. Fifteen Erewhon clydesdales competed in the show, alongside another two Mid Canterbury clydesdales, from Winslow’s Dayboo stud. The Mid Canterbury contingent performed well, securing many prizes. Erewhon Station owner Colin Drummond was proud to have two-year-old colt Tyler attain champion male, the Australian judge having liked in particular his “very very good back feet”. They were sturdy, something which had been lacking a wee bit in Australia. Lana achieved supreme champion mare. “She’s the epitomy of what the breed should be like, breed character and a bit of substance,” Mr Drummond said.

John Booth and Gaye Day of Dayboo were happy to have Donella achieve first in decorated harness, while Donella and fellow horse Anja achieved other placings including second in pairs wagon. Anja was particularly placid and many a child was put on her back yesterday to enjoy a view of the world from horseback. Meanwhile Luke and Connor, among the Erewhon crew, were also enjoying the crowds, in particular any food people happened to have in their hands. Nibbling on hot dogs and icecream were favourites. “The older geldings, they just love all the attention,” Mr Drummond said. But three days of showing was tiring for some of the younger horses. “Some of the young ones by the third day get sick of it, they are just a bit tired, they want to get home and have a bit more space to canter around and play.”

Erewhon Station owner Colin Drummond feeds Luke and Connor at the Canterbury A&P Show yesterday.

■ RAKAIA SPORTS AWARDS

New event recognises sports high achievers BY ERIN TASKER

ERIN.T@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Rakaia’s sporting success will be recognised when the town holds its first ever sports awards early next year. The event is being organised by Sport Rakaia Incorporated (SRI) and it will be open to sportspeople, referees or umpires, volunteers and administrators who live in the Rakaia area, or are associated with a Rakaia sports club. They’ve even secured the

services of a top guest speaker – Mid Canterbury born-andbred Olympic rowing champion Hamish Bond. The date for the awards is yet to be set – they’re going to work it around when Bond is available – but it will be sometime in March, SRI fundraising committee member Mandy Hurst said. She said the awards were all about celebrating Rakaia sport. “You have no idea who many sports are in Rakaia, from shoot-

Turkey baby boom

ing to all the regular sports, to shearing. There’s a lot of locals and clubs in Rakaia punching way above their weight,” Mrs Hurst said. “People don’t necessarily have to be the best in the country, if they are excelling within their club that’s what we want. “It’s about celebrating sport, enjoying the evening, hearing Hamish and getting to know the sportspeople.” Most Rakaia sports clubs are involved with SRI and their goal

is to build a new complex in the Rakaia Domain which will hopefully include an indoor court and a large clubrooms for the community to enjoy. They’ve been fundraising for that and while they hoped the awards night would raise some money, that wasn’t what it was about. “We do hope to make some money as well, but it’s not about the money, it’s about celebrating sport,” Mrs Hurst said. The sports hub at the domain

would be about future-proofing sport in Rakaia by building a big new base, which would hopefully also include an administration centre. Fundraising is ongoing and it’s hoped the Rakaia Sports Awards will become an annual event. Organisers are now looking for sponsors and will soon get nomination forms out to the town’s sports clubs. An independent judging panel will decide the winners.

Next year’s Christmas dinner is here. It’s turkey hatching season at Crozier’s Turkeys, at Dromore, and for the past 50 years owner Phil Crozier has bred thousands of turkeys which have ended up on tables around the country. But this year could be his last. His business is for sale as he and wife Judith look to retire. Mr Crozier was given his first turkeys when he was barely a teenager. Two wasn’t enough though, so he bought three more to keep on his father’s sheep farm. That steadily grew over the years and now there’s thousands of turkeys, young and old, roaming his land. The season’s second hatch arrived on Wednesday – 2000 baby turkeys to add to the 1000 that arrived in the first hatch two weeks ago. From now on in it’ll be around 5000 turkeys per hatch and all up he’ll welcome around 20,000 turkey chicks. Every day around 400 eggs are collected and incubated. They hatch every two weeks and by three or four weeks of age, they’ll be roaming around the fields on the farm. From February, the turkeys currently being born will be processed, ready to arrive on dinner tables. From the first hatch, through to processing in February, is a busy time for Mr Crozier.

The 17-year-old - real name Ella Yelich-O’Connor - performed in the same competition at Belmont Intermediate on Auckland’s North Shore when she was 12. Her Belmont Idol performance of Warwick Avenue by Duffy was later shown to Universal Music representatives and she was signed to the label. Earlier this week the Royals singer, along with golfer Lydia Ko, topped the list of Time magazine’s most influential teenagers in the world. - APNZ

Traffic hits snag Long weekend traffic was held up by two car crashes near the Rakaia bridges yesterday. There were two accidents within half an hour, one between two cars at the north end of the Rakaia Bridge and another near the Rakaia overbridge. One of the crashes saw two patients taken by ambulance to Christchurch Hospital, both with moderate injuries.

Rakaia Community Centre retiring members Natalie Gardiner and Noreen Smith are proud of the large red brick building which stands in the centre of their town. The two members were recognised for their service to the centre’s committee as they stood down after over 90 years service between them at

the hall’s triennial meeting on Monday night. The hall was built in 1956, and Mrs Smith was a member of the original committee, helping to fundraise for the project. She has been treasurer since 1997, and also served as custodian and took bookings for the hall over the years. Mrs Gardiner was secretary since 1992, and on the commit-

tee since 1978. “It’s a lovely building, we are really so proud of it, when we worked so hard to get it,” Mrs Gardiner said. “And it’s looking lovely with the roses out the front at the moment.” The hall is a central part of the town, it is where the town’s annual fishing competition is based, and club meetings, sports such as karate and in-

door bowls, large school functions, and some weddings and funerals are based. The pair said they would miss being members of the committee, but were happy to see younger people step up into their roles and keep the centre going. “We just feel we were on it when we were young and it needs young people, fresh people.”

At least one person has been diagnosed with non-viral hepatitis after consuming a sports drink, prompting a warning from the Ministry for Primary Industries. The ministry’s acting director general Scott Gallacher said he had been advised of one case of nonviral hepatitis and one possible case of non-viral hepatitis in New Zealand in consumers of a drink labelled OxyELITE Power Super T. Genic Caffeinated Beverage. It follows a warning issued by the US Food and Drug administration not to consume the drink. - APNZ

Paraglider hurt A paraglider was seriously injured in a remote Canterbury alpine range yesterday. An alpine cliff rescue team was dispatched to help the man who was stuck on a mountainside near the Mt Cheeseman Ski Area. The alarm was raised around midday when the paraglider crashed. Members of the public went to his aid and stayed with him, police say. A Westpac Rescue Helicopter was scrambled but wasn’t able to land.

■ ASHBURTON’S RISING STAR

In brief Roast Busters petition

Liam at Xmas in the Park

An online petition calling for the Prime Minister to take action over the Roast Busters group has attracted more than 93,000 signatures and its creator hopes to have it presented to Parliament. The petition urges John Key to “bust the Roast Busters and show you take sexual violence seriously” by ensuring justice for the teenage girls - some as young as 13 - who were named and shamed online when the young men claimed on Facebook to have got the girls drunk and had sex with them. Petition organiser Jessie Hume said the huge response to the petition “demands an appropriate response from the Government”.

Ashburton’s own Liam Kennedy-Clark will star alongside other big names at this year’s Christchurch Coca Cola Christmas in the Park. The country singing teenager said he was excited to perform “in an event as big as this one”, to be held November 30. “I’ve been wanting to be a part of Coca Cola Christmas in the Park ever since I was young, watching it on TV,” he said. “I get to perform with the CCCP Orchestra and be out on stage with so many talented people, and perform on national TV in front of New Zealand. I think it’s going to be a blast and a great experience.” Christmas in the Park spokesperson Deborah Delaney said Liam, 16, was an award-winning country singer “with talent beyond his years”. “With four yeses from the X-Factor New Zealand judges, this young man is one to watch,” she said. Liam will be singing Luke Brian’s Run Run Rudolph supported by the Christchurch Impact Dance and Stage School. “We are delighted to have one of Ashburton’s rising stars gracing our stage for the 20th anniversary of Coca-Cola Christmas in the Park.” Other stars for the show include Frankie Stevens, Jamie McDell, Jackie Thomas, Benny Tipene and Michael Murphy.

Schools to share Schools with ultra-fast broadband will soon be able to share their fibre connections with their local communities. Associate Education Minister Nikki Kaye said in communities with poor connectivity - typically rural or remote areas - schools would soon be able to make their fibre infrastructure available to others. The Manaiakalani Education Trust was a good example of how a wide area network for a cluster of schools could give students access to online services and broaden their learning environment, Ms Kaye said. - APNZ

New mining laws Five days before the third anniversary of the Pike River Mine tragedy, legislation to prevent a similar disaster has passed its third reading in Parliament. However, West Coast-Tasman MP Damien O’Connor says that despite that, there is still only one more mining inspector than on the day of the mine explosion on November 19, 2010. The Health and Safety (Pike River Implementation) Bill completed its journey through Parliament this week. Labour Minister Simon Bridges said it was the last major milestone to address the 16 recommendations of the Royal Commission of Inquiry. Ashburton “rising star” Liam Kennedy-Clark will perform at Coca Cola Christmas in the Park.

■ SPEEDING DRIVERS

Unpaid fines could cost licences By ISaac davISon Drivers who refuse to pay speeding fines will have their licence confiscated - sometimes on the side of the road - and possibly lose their car under changes due in months. From February, the Justice Ministry will ramp up efforts to recoup more than $200 million in outstanding traffic fines, most for speeding. It will issue Driver Licence Stop Orders as a last resort to people who repeatedly ignore warning notices or court orders. Any person found driving in breach of one of the orders will have their car impounded for 28 days.

Pay your fines, drivers are warned.

Associate Justice Minister Chester Borrows said in some cases people would have to surrender their licence on the side of the road if police detected an order was in place. He said the measure would apply only to people who ignored repeated 28-day deadlines for fines. “You’ve got about four

months from the time you’ve been stopped and given a ticket to pay. That’s not bad, and that’s interest-free credit.” The policy will focus on 20,000 of the worst debtors with multiple fines or a poor record in paying off tickets. Ministry executive Nigel Fyfe told MPs that a num-

ber of enforcement measures would be tried before a licence was suspended. These would include orders for direct payment from wages, benefits, bank accounts or through property seizure. Drivers would get two weeks to make arrangements to pay the fines. They would not have to wipe out the debt in a lump sum, but would have to start paying off some to get their licence back. Labour transport spokeswoman Darien Fenton said her party supported the policy, though it held concerns it could penalise people who needed their licence to get to work. At present, drivers owe $240 million in fines. - NZH

Key in Sri Lanka Prime Minister John Key has arrived in Sri Lanka and will spend the day in a round of meetings with other leaders, including Prince Charles. Mr Key, his wife Bronagh and son Max were met by dancers before the motorcade took them toward the new motorway built especially to usher the leaders quickly into central Colombo. Much of the focus of the biennial Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting has been on the human rights record of the host country, Sri Lanka. British Prime Minister David Cameron has been especially critical in the leadup to the meeting and Sri Lanka had responded angrily.

Nelson fire inquiry Fire investigators are working to establish what caused a large house fire in Nelson yesterday. Emergency services were called to the fire in Stoke about 7.45am. A Fire Service spokesman said the house was burning fiercely when firefighters got there. Crews from Stoke, Richmond and Nelson attended. No-one was injured in the blaze. - APNZ

In brief Typhoon toll disputed The United Nations says the death toll from a super typhoon in the Philippines is at least 4460, citing regional officials, but the national disaster council maintains a much lower figure. The UN’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said the number of 4460 was given by the regional task force of the Philippines’ National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council on Wednesday. But NDRRMC spokesman Reynaldo Balido insisted the official toll from the typhoon that ripped through the central Philippines remained at 2360. “As of 13 November, the government reported that 4460 people have died,” an OCHA statement said. - AFP

Abbott urges Sri Lankan inclusion By Paul OsBOrne Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott has urged Commonwealth leaders to engage and not isolate countries such as Sri Lanka as they emerge from civil strife. Mr Abbott, Prince Charles and Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa delivered opening ceremony addresses to kick off the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Colombo yesterday. The summit was mired in controversy after the leaders of Canada, India and Mauritius - the next host country - boycotted it over concerns about Sri Lanka’s human rights record after almost three decades of civil war.

Mr Abbott instead urged a “spirit of encouragement, not isolation”. “Sri Lanka’s willingness to host this Commonwealth shows its commitment to democratic pluralism and freedom based on law and ought to assure all its citizenship that just as today is better than yesterday, tomorrow will be better than today,” Mr Abbott said. Mr Rajapaksa’s government faces global calls for an independent inquiry into alleged human rights breaches and atrocities in the dying months of the war. Mr Abbott said the peace achieved in Sri Lanka had brought more freedom and prosperity. “So we are here to praise as

much as to judge,” he said. The Sri Lankan president launched a passionate defence of his country’s new era of “peace, stability and renewed economic opportunities”. “We asserted the greatest human right - the right to life,” he said of how the civil war was brought to an end. Prince Charles, standing in for the Queen, who is scaling back her international travel, said the Commonwealth was about creating a better future. “Each one of us is here because of the hope and the trust we place in the Commonwealth to bring that touch of healing to our troubles and deliver the very best future for our people,” he said. Mr Abbott met with British

Prime Minister David Cameron and plans bilateral meetings with the leaders of Nauru and Pakistan during the summit, which ends tomorrow. Human rights advocates say Mr Abbott is toning down his criticism so as not to jeopardise a potential deal with Sri Lanka on stopping peoplesmuggling. “So far Australia has forcibly returned well over 1000 Sri Lankans,” Emily Howie, of the Human Rights Law Centre, told AAP. “Australia is failing human rights on two levels: we are failing to speak up for the protection of Sri Lankans’ rights and we are doing so in order to cruelly and unlawfully return them to Sri Lanka.” - AAP

US carrier leads Haiyan relief effort By JasOn Gutierrez A US aircraft carrier has sent mercy flights into the typhoonsmashed Philippines, transporting urgently needed aid for survivors still begging for help in wreckage strewn with bodies a week after the disaster.

The USS George Washington is flying missions to towns worst-hit by Super Typhoon Haiyan as well as “remote areas that we could not access earlier”, Philippine Air Force spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Miguel Okol said yesterday. Thousands are feared to have

died in the storm, and the lives of many others were hanging by the thinnest of threads, even as the relief operations moved up a gear. In Tacloban city’s only functioning hospital - without a roof, power or water - a woman frantically pumped air into the lungs

of her husband, lying critically ill. Valentina Gamba, the head of nursing at the hospital, said they had tried to discharge patients they could not feed. “But they still stayed for shelter ... because they cannot go home,” Gamba said. - AFP

The CIA is secretly amassing records of international money transfers into and out of the US, including operations handled by firms such as Western Union, the New York Times reports. The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is acting under the same law that the National Security Agency (NSA) uses to assemble a data base of Americans’ phone records, the paper said yesterday, quoting current and former US officials. This financial transactions program is covered under the post 9/11 Patriot Act and overseen by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, the Times said. Its existence suggests that Americans still do not know everything about the extent of government data collection programs. - AFP

Global child sex sting A West Australian teacher charged with sexually abusing and filming five of his students is among 65 Australians arrested as part of a worldwide operation to dismantle an international child exploitation network. Australians from six states and territories - including teachers, priests, a nurse, a policeman, a carer and an accountant - were among the 348 people arrested as part of the Canadian-led investigation. The five pupils from WA’s Goldfields region, and one from the ACT, were now safe from further abuse, the Australian Federal Police said. “They were all being filmed or had photos taken of them in horrible circumstances,” AFP national co-ordinator of child protection operations Todd Hunter said yesterday. - AAP

The Cleo centrefold was first introduced in November 1972 by then editor, Ita Buttrose, and actor Jack Thompson was the man brave enough to disrobe for the spread - and disrobe he did with just his hand strategically placed to barely protect his modesty. Outgoing Cleo editor, Sharri Markson, said bringing back the centrefold was something she wanted to do for her readers. “I think girls want to see gorgeous men every month instead of just once a year,” she said.

Ricky May – reluctant hero He’s the toast of the harness racing industry after a record-breaking seven New Zealand Trotting Cup winning drives, but Methven’s Ricky May is a reluctant hero. The country’s number one horseman shares his take on life post-cup with reporter Sue Newman.

Champion horseman Ricky May with a selection of trophies won driving winners in the New Zealand Trotting Cup.

e might be the man of the moment, but when he’s at home on his Methven farm Ricky May is just another country bloke . On Tuesday he lifted the performance bar in harness racing with his seventh New Zealand Trotting Cup winning drive, but the next day, it was business as usual. For a small man he has amazing stamina. He didn’t see his bed until 4am after the cup but when the sun rose a couple of hours later so did he. There were horses to work and peas to spray but by mid afternoon he was looking pretty jaded. He reckoned it was about time to call it a day. Lying back on his couch wearing old jeans, his favourite shirt and a pair of socks that had seen better days, May was happy to chew the fat, talk about life and a bit reluctantly, talk about the big win. The races, of course, were quietly running on the telly and the phone was still ringing off the hook.

“I’ve had a fair old lashing today. God knows how many radio stations I’ve been on. “Last year the phone calls were big but this year every radio station, TV, paper in New Zealand and Australia was on the phone,” he said. With 24 hours to reflect on his history-making moment, he said the enormity of the drive was finally starting to sink in along with relief that the cup trophy he’d tossed aside in the rush to leave the presentation area and gear up for the next race, had been found. And then there was the hand shaking. He’s never done so much and on Wednesday his right hand was begging for a rest. One of the quirky rewards for the big win was a chocolate cake handed over by a couple of builders. He’s not sure what that was about but said it made fine eating. The race itself was a moment in time that May admits will take some beating. His first win back in 1989 with Inky Lord

was a special moment but then they’ve all been special in their own way. “This one because of the way he started, to be fair that would have to be the best moment,” the typically understated May said. When Terror To Love broke at the start of the cup race, the crowd might have thought May’s chances of a seventh winning drive had gone. Not May. He knew the horse was capable of big things, believed he could still win. “It’s hard to believe he did what he did. I was stunned. He’s such a good horse, but he made it hard for himself. He never breaks and that was a bad race to do it in.” While the big win was the event of the day for May, he had nine other drives on his card and that meant he spent the day running from sulky to sulky. “I was fair buggered at the end of the day. I didn’t have a thing to eat all day except a pottle of chips. Didn’t have

time. The whole day’s exhausting because you’re so focused.” Yes, he celebrated, firstly at the Casino with the horse’s owner Terry McDonald, trainers Graham and Paul Court and his family and then with best mate Jim Curtin at his home. May’s quick to say that Curtin was the man responsible for him notching up seven wins. Curtin won with Terror To Love in 2011 but last year had another drive and offered the champion to May. May accepted, Curtin’s horse scratched, May drove the winner, McDonald kept him on for this year’s race and the rest is history. There were no hard feelings, the two are mates from way back, and it was only right that they shared the celebrations, May said. The celebration was bittersweet, however, as during the night Curtin received news that his dad Reg had died. Cup day this year began long before the main event.

The pressure was on from the racing world, the expectations were high and everyone wanted a slice of May’s time. “My phones went flat twice in the last two days, just from calls coming it. “It just kept going and it’s still going,” he said. Post race the endless calls were from the media, from trainers wanting to book a drive and from mates offering congratulations. May was very clearly public property and it was something that didn’t sit easily with him. But with every one he was unfailingly polite. Lying back on his couch, looking at a couple of mares and new foals in the front paddock, May says that without a push from his dad Terry, he might not have been celebrating his seventh cup win. “I wasn’t that keen on it to be fair. I really wanted to be a farmer but dad said the farm’s not big enough for two of us so you’d better do something with the horses.”

May was 19 when he had his first win, at Geraldine with his grandmother’s horse Ruling River. He still wasn’t that keen on the whole driving deal, preferring to leave that to his dad. He matured into the job. Now he says he was lucky to have the chance to drive. “It’s all about opportunity really. There are a lot of people out there who would be good but they just don’t get the chance.” As he took over more driving assignments the balance of work shifted in the May family, with Terry training and doing the bulk of the farm work and Ricky on the road between race meetings. He still found time to marry wife Judy and raise three children. “I suppose I’ve done two jobs for years. It’s been pretty hard but you work at it. Dad’s my right hand man but Judy and I still do the horses every day.” Terry is 81, still working horses and still putting in a solid day’s work on the farm. If he’s been the rock that held the farm together, May admits that Judy has been the rock that’s held the family together, often being the only parent around to go to school and sports events. “Judy’s been a massive support – and she’s always kept my white pants clean.” One particular pair of driving trousers were believed by May to be his good luck charm. He’s wrecked them and this year had to drive without either the pants or his old driving boots. “Clearly I have to just get over it. I proved I don’t need

them any more,” he said. May’s 55 and should have another 10 or 15 decent driving years ahead of him, but he’s not so sure. “It all depends on your health. I’m lucky, I keep reasonably fit and I’m reasonably small. It’s a young man’s game, a professional business and it doesn’t look good to have 80-year-olds going round the track.” Accidents play a big part in keeping drivers in the game too and May has had his share. Bumps, bruises and a few broken bones but none have been too serious. And he lost his driving trousers once, when he was tossed from the cart, caught his leg and was dragged several 100 metres. He stood up and his pants collapsed around his ankles. The worst accident was in Auckland when his horse shied mid-race and pitched him out of the cart and under the hooves and wheels of the rest of the field. “I was carted off to hospital. I didn’t break anything but I was covered in bruises.” Tough nut May was back in the sulky a few days later. Unlike today’s young guns whose sole focus is driving, May has juggled two careers – driving and farming. And he wouldn’t have it any other way. “Probably farming has helped keep me occupied and focused on things other than horses. This gives me a bit of balance. The young guys have nothing else but driving and travelling to the races.” Being at the top of your game as a driver does mean sacrifices and for May that

comes in the sports teams he’s been unable to follow. “I’d love to follow the All Blacks overseas but that’s at the worst time of the year when you’re driving horses.” And of course there are still goals. He’s never won the New Zealand Derby and there are a few Harness Jewels races he’s yet to win. He might be the country’s best, but May is never one to turn down a drive. It could be Terror To Love or it could be an unrated youngster trained by a local. They all deserve a fair crack at race day, he said. “It’s important to support the industry. People like to see you out there because they sometimes bet on you more than the horse.” May’s a third generation horseman, but that might be the end of the dynasty. The May children Tim, Phillip and Kate have shown no eye when it comes to training or driving. “The boys think there’s no money in racing. They can make more in a day’s contract-

ing than I can in a month and they know how hard it is.” They probably also got fed up with having a dad who was always away at race meetings when they were kids, he admits. His trophy cabinet is full, but he’s not one to show off the spoils of his seven cup victories. And then there’s the money, ultimately that’s what winning is all about and May reckons he’s definitely on the winning side there. “I’ve had a super run really.” If he’s feeling pretty chuffed about his seventh cup win, Judy and Terry are just as delighted. For Judy, cup day is not only about making sure Ricky has the right gear for the day – race and post race clothing, but it’s also about making sure she’s dressed for the occasion. This year she wore a stunning black and white dress topped off with two hats pulled from daughter Kate’s wardrobe and reshaped into one. She ended up at the races without a planned visit to the hairdresser. Working horses

before they headed to Christchurch and a mistake with time meant a missed appointment. This year’s race was a heart stopper, she said. “The whole race was almost an anti-climax when he galloped. We really just focused on the other horses,” she said. To her Ricky is just Ricky, no matter how many wins, no matter how many accolades he receives, he never changes. Dad Terry is quick to brush off any credit for his son’s driving ability. “He’s had to do most of this himself. You teach them what you can and he’s always had good instincts and a good pair of hands.” Terry is a proud man. What happened on track on cup day was unbelievable, he said. “You have to give the horse its credit. To make a mistake like that and be there at the finish, amazing. But Ricky has to take some credit for this too.” May senior said he had seven cup drives but never managed to make money. His son, he said was the family hero.

■ NATIVE BIRDS

Kea joins list of threatened birds By Jamie morton Several of New Zealand’s most cherished birds - among them the kea and two types of albatross - have been shifted to a more serious conservation status following a national survey. The assessment, lead by Dr Hugh Robertson of the Department of Conservation, audited the status of the 473 species or sub-species of New Zealand birds known to have been alive since the first contact with humans. Of the total, nearly 12 per cent were now extinct - the moa, huia and Haast’s eagle are long gone - while 18 per cent were classed as threatened, and a further 22 per cent were considered at risk. The audit saw little change in the status of our most highprofile threatened birds. The Okarito brown kiwi, takahe, kakapo and black robin were among those classified as

nationally critical, the king shag and Fiordland crested penguin featured on the nationally endangered list, while those considered nationally vulnerable included the North Island brown kiwi, the great spotted kiwi, the yellow-eyed penguin, the blue duck or whio, the North Island and South Island kaka and the Northern New Zealand dotterel. But six species had been moved into the nationally critical list, including the Antipodean albatross, the Gibson’s albatross, the Chatham Island shag and the Pitt Island shag. It was the first time the Antipodean albatross had been classified as threatened. The notoriously cheeky kea, considered the only truly alpine parrot in the world, also made a debut on the threatened list, as did the flesh-footed shearwater, New Zealand storm petrel and lesser knot. Shorebird ecologist Dr John Dowding, who co-authored

the assessment, said little usually changed when a survey was completed, but there were always some differences. “Some of the ones that go up on the lists, we know are a result of conservation work we’ve been doing for the past three or four years.” For example, the status of the orange-fronted parakeet and Chatham Island pigeon, or parea, had improved as a direct result of successful management programmes. “But some of the ones that go down, they’re sometimes due to factors that we can’t control, especially with seabirds,” Dr Dowding said. These included long-line fishing or changes in oceanic productivity. The primary aim of the survey, Dr Dowding said, was to prioritise the management of those threatened birds, and prevent their extinction. - NZH

Cheeky keas are now on the threatened list.

Hi-vis clothing ‘ineffective’

Hungry people wade through trash for food

By mathew Dearnaley Middle-aged men appear to be the group most at risk of being killed cycling, and wearing high-visibility clothing is no guarantee of survival. Those are among conclusions of a coronial inquiry into 13 cycling deaths, which also took account of 81 others since mid-2007 - representing an average of more than 15 a year. The victims ranged in age from 6 to 93, with an average of around 46 years, and more than three-quarters were male. Coroner Gordon Matenga said he was surprised to find that 58.5 per cent of deaths were the result of cyclists’ errors, which was “contrary to every submission to me which suggested that motorists were deemed to be responsible in most cycle crashes”. He noted there were no other vehicles involved in 35 of the deaths, but motorists were responsible for 57.6 per cent of 59 fatalities in which they collided with cyclists.

Of 13 deaths since 2010 which Mr Matenga was asked by Chief Coroner Judge Neil MacLean to focus on, 10 involved collisions with vehicles, whose drivers failed to see the cyclists in five instances, despite three of the five cyclists wearing high-visibility clothing. Cyclists also wore helmets in 12 instances, the exception

being an intoxicated man who was run over after tumbling off his bike. Mr Matenga noted submissions from the Cycling Advocates Network that making high-visibility clothing compulsory would become a barrier to people cycling, and that the more riders on the roads, the safer they would be. - NZH

Cash-strapped families in Wanganui are stealing food to survive. Left with just $50 for food, some are risking their health or being arrested for stealing from supermarkets and shops to provide for their families. One Masterton woman has admitted to dumpster diving and stealing food and local advocates say she isn’t the only one resorting to breaking the law to feed children. Progressive Enterprises, which operates the Countdown, Supervalue, Fresh Choice and Woolworths brands, says Dumpster diving is not a major problem but is a dangerous one as food was thrown into bins for safety reasons. Wairarapa Advocacy Service manager Trevor MacKiewicz said at least half of the 500 clients on his books have admitted to stealing food or taking it from bins outside shops.

“It’s nothing new to me to hear people are Dumpster diving. They just have to do it because they don’t have enough to survive on. Some have less than $50 for food ... They are just trying to get food from where ever they can ... They are stealing ... it’s just not easy for them to survive.” It’s not only beneficiaries, he said. “Low-income earners are finding it difficult to pay all the bills and have enough to feed their family on as well.” As for Dumpster diving, he warns clients not to do it. “It’s theft. The police see it as theft. It only makes life harder if they get arrested. Theft is theft and if you are jumping into a bin you are on someone else’s property. It’s trespass.” Local foodbanks help but can’t offer unlimited food parcels to people, he said. - APNZ

■ STREET RACERS IN COURT

Mother tells of heartache after son’s death By AnnA Ferrick The mother of a Hawkes Bay teenager killed during an illegal street race has described her heartache to three young men charged in relation to the race. Brandon Lawrence, 19, Jesse Ellmers, 18, and Adam O’Sullivan, 17, appeared in the Napier District Court yesterday after previously pleading guilty to charges of unnecessary exhibition of speed causing death and unnecessary exhibition of speed causing injury. Judge Geoff Rea sentenced the trio to two years and three months’ imprisonment for their involvement and disqualified them from driving for four years. The court was told that the teenagers were part of a Holden versus Ford race that was planned on the night of February 19 this year, during which the vehicles reached speeds of up to 180km/h. Maree Schafer, 18, was the sole rear-seat passenger in a Holden Commodore driven by Lawrence when it slid sideways across the road and hit a tree, fatally injuring her. Her mother read a victim impact statement to the court describing the impact on her and Maree’s siblings.

“No mother should have to bury their child before them.” She described her eldest daughter as her best friend and confidante who could fix the world with her smile. Police charged four people with racing causing death and racing causing injury, including the drivers of both cars. They said at the time charges were laid that it was a warning to anyone involved in boy racer activity that they could end up facing serious charges and be held culpable for the consequences of their actions. That included passengers and spectators, or anyone else who encouraged or aided someone to commit such offences. Matthew O’Sullivan, 20, the alleged driver of the other car, pleaded not guilty and is expected to proceed to trial. Ellmers was a passenger in the car being driven by Matthew O’Sullivan. Adam O’Sullivan was the driver of a third car that did not participate in the race. He was also charged with attempting to pervert the course of justice after he told two passengers in his car to lie to police about what happened during the race. Judge Rea said all three that pleaded guilty were equally cul-

pable. Judge Rea thanked members of Ms Schafer’s family for the “eloquent and moving” victim impact statements that reflected the nature of the tragedy. “There is nothing the court can say that’s going to change anything, no sentence will change the lifelong burden you have been left with.” Commenting on the illegal racing, he said: “Obviously extremely high speeds involved in this, the speeds were ridiculous, these

young men had no ability to control their vehicles. “I conclude they are all equally responsible, they all had a role to play ... No one stepped forward to stop it.” He said the young men showed “no consideration or concern” when organising the race which took up both sides of the road. “It defies belief that a group of young men thought it acceptable to use the width of the whole road ... The stupidity of what you were doing was evident to anyone looking.”

Sergeant Cory Ubels of the serious crash unit said the sentences should be a warning to everyone involved in boy racing activity. “It’s not just the drivers - passengers and spectators or anyone else who encourages or aids someone to commit these offences can also be charged.” Police would continue to closely monitor boy racer activity in the district and would not hesitate to prosecute anyone for any illegal boy racer activity. - APNZ

Car thief admits leaving toddler on roadside A man who admitted leaving an 11-month-old boy alone on the side of a Southland highway after finding him in the car he had just stolen has apologised to the baby’s mother. “I’m sorry for what I done [sic]. I shouldn’t have done that. I’m saying I’m really sorry to the child’s mother,” Charanjit Singh, 31, of no fixed abode, said from

the dock in the in the Invercargill District Court yesterday. The boy was rescued by a passing truck driver and returned to his mother unharmed not long after he was left on the roadside in the Northern Southland town of Balfour on Monday afternoon. From the dock, Singh also offered to pay for the damage he

caused to the woman’s $58,000 Mazda CX9, which he drove across paddocks and crashed down a small bank near Balfour while trying to evade police. Singh has been in custody since his arrest on Monday and pleaded guilty yesterday to six charges - unlawfully taking the Mazda, theft of the complainant’s $750 iPhone, failing to

stop for police, abandoning a child, driving when forbidden and reckless driving. His counsel, John Fraser, said he was not seeking name suppression. Police prosecutor Sergeant Rob Mills said Singh was hitchhiking north on State Highway 94 on Monday. He was picked up at Lumsden and dropped off at

Balfour. At the intersection of SHW94 and Queen St, he hid his backpack in bushes and walked into the town. Outside a dairy he saw the Mazda, which had been left outside the shop with the keys in the ignition while its owner went in to buy lunch. Singh took the car and returned to get his backpack.

Domain the beating Many in Mid Canterbury consider the Ashburton Domain the jewel in the district’s crown. Thousands of locals and visitors use the wonderful facility for endless activities throughout the year. Reporter Anna Sedlackova enjoyed a sunny spring week in the domain to find out why all these people are drawn to the green centre of Ashburton.

he picture of beauty and the beating heart of Ashburton. That is the Ashburton Domain this time of year, with its blooming primulas, roses, and rhododendrons – among hundreds of other flowers, bushes and trees. In a park that can easily be reached by foot from town, people engage in both energetic and relaxing activities. For sports enthusiasts, the domain offers facilities for athletics, cricket, rugby, tennis, football, hockey or croquet, as well as a jungle gym that

provides a range of physical challenges. Families with children will appreciate a well-equipped playground with play equipment such as an over-sized metal elephant, a tractor and the famous wooden mouse house. Visitors are also able to picnic and use barbecue facilities in the park, simply enjoy a stroll around the landscaped gardens in a full range of colours, and take a look at some 150 birds in the aviary. Or just have a snooze in the sun.

Monday, noon Right: Together with her dog Norman, Ella Brasell comes to the park about once a fortnight. “I like to walk around and check out the growth of the flowers,” says Mrs Brasell. Her dog joins in her interests. “He also enjoys flowers, he goes and sniffs them.”

When there are no other dogs Norman can frolic with, he has no trouble making friends with any other species that may be close by. He likes to swim with the ducks in the pond, and doesn’t even mind to be chased by magpies – “he turns it into a game.”

Regular visitors Ella Brasell and Norman take a moment to relax during their walk.

Michael Wallace is allergic to grass and suffers from hay fever, but still finds gardening the perfect job for him. As one of six gardeners in the Ashburton Domain, Mr Wallace takes care of an assigned area, and likes that every day at work is different. “Today I sprayed the weeds around the sport fields, then was weeding by hand, and remulching.” He doesn’t mind working in bad weather, it is the hot windy days that he’s not a fan of. “Norwesters give me a headache,” he admits.

The busiest time for her is early in the morning when the truck drivers that pass by stop for some caffeine.

At work Neil Alexander takes care of 150 birds, and in the backyard of his house he keeps about 100 of them – budgies, racing pigeons and canaries. “I am a bird man, I’ve kept them my whole life,” says Mr Alexander. He comes to the domain aviary every morning to clean the cages, do some repair work, and feed the birds. “They are well lookedafter and happy.” Even too happy to leave – when a bird escapes through a hole in the cage, often he just comes back in and out.

BY THE NUMBERS By Daniel RichaRDson

27 - The All Whites shared

the pitch with Mexico at the Azteca Stadium in Mexico on Thursday during their intercontinental World Cup playoff but they didn’t share the ball equally. As Mexico cruised to a 5-1 win, the All Whites were forced to survive on only 27 per cent of possession during the game. Nobody expected New Zealand to win but they might have hoped to have a bit more of the ball.

- Plenty of All Whites were walking the yellow card tightrope against Mexico and three of them - Chris Wood, Ivan Vicelich and Leo Bertos - were all cautioned at the Azteca and will miss next week’s return leg at the Cake Tin. Suspension for Vicelich means the 37-year-old may have played his last international.

there were 15 shots on goal across eight different Mexican players and Moss was equal to the task on numerous occasions. The Phoenix custodian ensured the scoreline didn’t hit double digits.

Kiwis make a splash

Controversy is raging in the UK about diving in football but some of the Kiwis showed last weekend they’re a dab hand at it, too. The New Zealand team were conducting their recovery at a Leeds swimming pool alongside a junior elite diving squad when a handful went over for some pointers. Inevitably, the Kiwis gave some tuition of their own which saw Issac Luke produce a series of staple and Mangere bombs and Kevin Locke pull out his best effort from the 10m platform. The dive coach commended them for their bravery but felt they were some way off making it in the sport. #

The great cover up

The entire Kiwis squad travelled to Old Trafford to watch Manchester United’s 1-0 win over rivals Arsenal last

weekend. It was during the match that security asked Sam Kasiano to cover his Arsenal shirt or risk causing trouble with the diehards. Which diehard would it be, however, who dared to take on a 1.96m, 130kg giant? Then again, muggers confronted Josh Papalii on his first night in the UK. Kasiano duly put on a jacket to cover the offending attire. #

Hitting the high notes

Plane journeys can be tiresome affairs, being stuck in a tin can with little room to move around. Not so when the Ireland rugby league team are on board. And they have just been beaten 50-0 by Australia. A

special flight was arranged for the teams, family members, media and some fans after the match. Intrepid league journalist Steve Mascord was on the flight and said the pilot threatened not to take off if the Irish team, blasting out hits from past and present, wouldn’t pipe down for the safety briefing. They did, only to sing Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport as the plane took off. #

Nice view

It’s easier to watch the World Cup on TV in NZ than in the UK but when it is televised it’s popular. Official viewing figures from the weekend revealed a peak audience of 2.2 million for the BBC’s coverage of England beating Fiji 34-12. That was a 15 per cent share of the total viewing audience across all channels and was significantly more than the peak of 571,000 who watched the England rugby test against Argentina. Even the live Premier League of Sky peaked at only 810,000. #

By the book

The bookies aren’t expecting any boilover in this weekend’s World Cup semi-finals. Australian markets have drawn the line at 42 points for the Kiwis over Scotland, 38.5 for England against France and an incredible 52.5 points for Australia over the US. Samoa’s match with Fiji is expected to be the closest with Samoa slight favourites even though they have lost two players through suspension. #

Family affairs

The Kiwis talk about the brotherhood they have in their squad but they are one of only four teams at the World Cup without actual brothers. There are 32 siblings among 10 teams, including England and Fiji who have three brothers in their squads with the Burgess (Sam, George, Tom) clan and Sims (Tariq, Korbin, Ashton) brothers respectively. In fact, Fiji have three sets of brothers in total (Millards and Naiqamas), making it tough to be a commentator. - APNZ

In brief

Mid Canty up for trophy bid By Jonathan Leask

jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

The Mid Canterbury Senior representative cricket team is looking to do something they haven’t been able to do since 2005; beat South Canterbury in a 50-over match. The Ron Biggar Trophy has been in South Canterbury possession for seven years, but a promising first outing last week will see a confident Mid Canterbury head to Timaru Aorangi Oval on Sunday. Last year Mid Canterbury put 215 on the board and South Can-

terbury matched it with five balls to spare, continuing a streak of close matches that have always fallen in South Canterbury’s favour since they claimed the trophy in 2006 with a four-run win. Last week Mid Canterbury got their season underway with a rare win over Christchurch Metro after getting off to a rollicking start, with captain Matt Winter smashing 54 off 34 balls to start the innings before his fellow opener Robbie Polson (right) went on to compile 83 after strong partnerships with Jono Print and Bo Houston.

With the ball the Mid Canterbury attack was led by Richard Print and Bevan Ravenscroft, with the experienced pair taking three wickets each, and they will look to start well again on a docile Aorangi Oval pitch. South Canterbury’s batsmen struggled on their home turf last week in a 79-run loss to Otago A. Veteran James Laming will be a key contributor with the ball and bat in the middle order, but left-arm quick Nathan McNicol will be the danger man on his home patch.

Surprise openers Otago’s Aaron Redmond and Aucklander Jeet Raval will open the batting for the West Indies in their three-day tour match against a New Zealand XI at Lincoln University’s Bert Sutcliffe Oval from November 27-29. The visitors won’t have a full XI in the country at the time due to their one-day international squad still being in India, which provides an opportunity for Redmond and Raval to fit in some match practice. The New Zealand XI is made up largely of players from Canterbury and Otago because their domestic commitments are the lightest at the time of the game. Brendon McCullum will lead the team, while left-handed batsman Jesse Ryder has also been included as he steadily builds to his return to international cricket. - APNZ

Anderson coming home Black Caps allrounder Corey Anderson will return to New Zealand to begin rehabilitation on the rib injury which ruled him out of the second one-day international against Sri Lanka earlier this week. Anderson underwent an MRI scan of his side on Wednesday, which ruled out any major damage. He will now miss the final ODI and two Twenty20s against Sri Lanka as a precautionary measure and receive further management back in New Zealand. Black Caps physiotherapist Paul Close said: “Corey felt pain in his right side while bowling during the first ODI. Post-match assessment indicated a minor case of rib impingement. We decided it’s in Corey’s best interest to return home and focus on making a full recovery for the series against the West Indies.” Neil Broom joined the team in Dambulla on Wednesday and no other replacement will be sent for the remaining matches. - APNZ

Root shows the way

Tendulkar steps out to emotional farewell By RacheL o’BRien Delirious crowds cheered India’s Sachin Tendulkar as he finished what may be his final Test innings match unbeaten on 38 early yesterday morning. Crowds at the Wankhede stadium in his home town of Mumbai erupted as Tendulkar went to the crease on the first day of the match, walking through a guard of honour created by his West Indian opponents, television pictures showed. It was an emotional farewell game for a national hero whose 24-year career has made him a cricketing legend. For Tendulkar, each run was greeted with raucous applause

and cheering, with several textbook cover drives exhibiting the elegant strokeplay that had marked Tendulkar out since his international debut in 1989. The 40-year-old is ending an international career during which he became the all-time leading Test and one-day batsman and the only man to score 100 international centuries. Ahead of the match, he said the last 20 years had been “marked by some of the most challenging, exhilarating, poignant and memorable moments of my life”. “The game has seen so much change over the last two decades _ from advances in technology, new formats, yet the basic spirit and passion sur-

rounding the game remains the same,” he wrote in a front-page Hindustan Times article. The end of the “Little Master”, who has almost god-like status in his cricket-mad country, has been met with nationwide nostalgia for his sporting feats. As he strode to the crease, acknowledging the applause with a modest raising of his bat, Indians all over the country huddled around television sets and Twitter exploded with messages wishing him luck. Tendulkar led the team out onto the field at Wankhede stadium in the morning and the toss took place with a specially minted coin bearing his image on one side, footage showed.

Cries of “Sachin! Sachin!” echoed throughout the day. Excitement around the game has been building since last month, when he announced his intention to retire. Highlights of his innings and interviews have been looping on news channels. Among the spectators was Sudhir Gautam, Tendulkar’s celebrity fan, who travels across the world to watch him while painted in the colours of the Indian flag. Along with Indian politicians, businessmen and Bollywood stars, cricketing greats Brian Lara and Shane Warne flew in for the game at Wankhede, where a huge security force has been deployed for the next five days. - AFP

Joe Root has maintained the momentum England’s batsmen are taking into the Ashes series starting next week in Brisbane. Root (75) became the fourth member of the England top order to pass 50 in the tour match against an Invitational XI in Sydney, with England eventually bowled out for 418 on day three. England led by 114 runs, after another rain-interrupted day for the Ashes holders at the SCG. The top three and Ian Bell all have tons so far on tour, while Kevin Pietersen and Root have half centuries under their belt. - AAP

Watson ok at training Allrounder Shane Watson has cruised through his first training session with the Australian cricket team ahead of next week’s first Ashes Test in Brisbane. Watson had a light run under the supervision of physiotherapist Alex Kountouris and coach Darren Lehmann before a lengthy session batting in the nets at Allan Border Field. He did not bowl however as he recovers from a hamstring injury. “It was a pretty relaxed, low key session getting used to the red ball again,” Australian batting coach Michael Di Venuto said. “Batting for him wasn’t an issue. He is pretty confident where he is at at the moment.” - AAP

Sport In brief Rowers on target New Zealand’s Rio Olympics sailing ambitions are in solid shape, and now the sport has an ace high-flying pair as faces of the campaign. When Jo Aleh and Olivia Powrie were crowned the International Sailing Federation’s female sailors of the year in Oman this week - the first New Zealand women to receive the accolade - it capped 15 months of high achievement. First was the Olympic title, won in Weymouth last year; and they followed that with the 470 world title in La Rochelle in August. Add in Alex Maloney and Molly Meech winning the first women’s 49er FX world title, and Peter Burling and Blair Tuke’s victory in the world 49er class, along with a handful of encouraging performances in a range of classes and Yachting New Zealand is right to feel optimistic two and a half years out from the Olympics. - NZH

Support for Herbert Ricki Herbert may be on borrowed time but the All Whites players have come to the support of their embattled coach. In the wake of Thursday’s 5-1 defeat there is a general view that Herbert’s position is untenable; that next Wednesday’s match should be his last game in charge, and his contract, which runs until the end of this campaign, should not be extended. In the aftermath of the loss Herbert said that he was not “100 per cent” sure of what he would do, hinting that he may push to continue in the job he has held since 2005. That has provoked strong reaction but members of his team expressed their faith in Herbert. “All the lads are behind Ricki,” said captain Tommy Smith. “He has done a great job over the years and it is tough to come up against a Mexican team like that you would never have thought we would have been playing Mexico in the first place. I think we made them look better than they were, especially in the first half.” - HOS

Scott shares lead Defending champion Adam Scott has claimed a share of the lead after two rounds of the Australian Masters at Royal Melbourne. Chasing his second straight win, after triumphing in last week’s Australian PGA, the world No.2 shot a five under second round of 67 yesterday to move to nine under overall. That put him level with 22-year-old Nathan Holman. Scott, who started his round five shots behind Holman, who was already in the clubhouse, quickly made ground, with birdies on the first three holes. - AAP

Franchitti calls time Three-time Indianapolis 500 winner Dario Franchitti has been forced to quit motor racing on medical advice after having suffered multiple injuries in a horrifying crash. The 40-year-old Scottish driver broke two vertebrae, suffered a concussion, two broken ribs and a broken right ankle that required two surgeries at the Grand Prix of Houston in October. Franchitti’s car went airborne after colliding with that of Japanese driver Takuma Sato and slammed into the safety fencing. - AFP

Ton-up Carter a ‘ By GreGor Paul

Of all the tributes paid to Daniel Carter this week for his 100th All Black test, none will mean more to him than that made by Jimmy Cowan. Cowan isn’t just a former team-mate. He isn’t just a former, longserving halfback partner. He’s a dead set mate - and proud to be one. Their paths had crossed plenty growing up - Cowan in Southland age-grade cricket and rugby sides, Carter in Central Canterbury’s. When they first properly met, playing for the New Zealand Colts, they hit it off straight away. But it was when Cowan stared into the abyss in 2008 that he knew their relationship had transcended from collegial to almost familial. Cowan’s contract was on the verge of being terminated. Alcohol had become a problem - a masking agent to deal with the grief of losing a cousin. He was in a dark place back then. “Daniel was the first guy to ring me,” says Cowan. “He was the first guy to take me out for coffee and I could talk to him. “Open up to him and feel like I could tell him anything. “He is a genuine bloke - he has a high regard for people and I’m just bloody proud to call him a mate.

“And I think we are mates. “Good mates.” Carter has always come across as the boy next door: a wholesome lad from the sticks. Genuine salt of the earth - a product of a classic Kiwi upbringing where manners and respect mattered. In the increasingly corporate and cynical world of the All Blacks, some might wonder whether this image is in some way contrived or manipulated. “Nah mate,” says Cowan. “What you see with Daniel is pretty much what you get. “He’s an inspiration. “He plans his week meticulously. “He knows what he wants to achieve and yet he has balance. “He flicks this switch. He enjoys a beer and in the summer he enjoys himself but he works so hard. “He’s got so much talent and there are no real secrets about him. “Like I say, he’s a genuine bloke.” Carter’s discomfort level has been high this week. He’s survived this long in the All Blacks by adhering to the ethos of team being bigger than all. He’s anxious for this one game - a big game for the All Blacks - to not be all about him. But it is is going to be, for the nation feels deeply protective of him.

He is, packaged in a tight little bundle, a piece of New Zealand that can be proudly taken anywhere. No doubt mothers up and down the country secretly, or possibly not so secretly, aspire for their sons to be similarly humble, measured and successful. Perhaps, too, they hope for their children to appear so at ease with it all. That’s been Carter’s greatest asset over the years - success has sat so easily with him. It hasn’t changed him or left any indelible mark. The boy next door remains the boy next door and yet, the perception of Carter as infallible, as unflappable and psychologically impenetrable may not be the reality.

He is more like a duck than anyone realised in that beneath the surface, his legs are frantically kicking in stark contrast to the calm appearance. Who would have guessed that nerves have been an affliction for Carter? That in his first test he was almost paralysed by them: the referee having to tell him to hurry it up with his first kick at goal. “It was because I was really nervous,” he admits. “I was concentrating so hard. “I didn’t want to miss. I didn’t want to put a foot wrong. “That was my first chance to get my first kick. “In my first game for the

Journalist’s leak provides more By Patrick Mckendry At this rate, Steve Hansen won’t have to worry about a team-talk at Twickenham. As if putting last year’s defeat to England right wasn’t enough, the All Blacks’ coach has had to put up with what he called a “breach of protocol” from an English journalist for which the team’s management have given themselves an “uppercut”. A more pressing issue as kick-off approaches in the early hours of to-

morrow could be to keep a lid on the emotions within the All Blacks’ camp. Telegraph writer Oliver Brown’s actions in stumbling into a team room at the All Blacks’ London hotel early this week and writing about what he found on whiteboards and handouts - including the team’s apparent wish to be “the most dominant team in the world” - has predictably not gone down well with Hansen, although he was restrained in his first meeting with the English press since the story broke.

“When there’s a breach of trust by you guys it’s always disappointing because we’re trying to work together. “It’s no big deal. I just wish he’d asked me what it all meant because what he wrote didn’t make sense.” Asked if hotel security would be improved, he said: “We gave ourselves an uppercut anyway. It was part of our problem for letting him in here, wasn’t it. “It’s not a big deal. What he printed was pretty tame really. “At the end of the day, we shouldn’t

Heat on Cooper The spring is back in the step and he’s delving deep into that bag of party tricks, but the heat is on Quade Cooper to prove he can handle the pressure as Wallabies’ goalkicker. Australia faces Ireland in an intriguing Test of character at a sold-out Aviva Stadium tomorrow where the difference could well boil down to whether Cooper kicks straight. The prospect of rain adds an extra dimension to what is expected to be a tightly-fought battle in front of a capacity 53,000-strong Dublin crowd. Since replacing benched radar-boot Christian Leali’ifano, Cooper has slotted a creditable 13 from 17 but was shaky under pressure missing two crucial second-half penalties in the 20-13 loss to England. - AAP

Changes for Ireland Ireland have dumped British and Irish Lions halfback Conor Murray among two shock selections for their Test against the Wallabies. New Kiwiborn coach Joe Schmidt has swung six changes to the starting team which beat Samoa 40-9, including the promotion of Eoin Reddan to the No.9 jersey for Murray. Murray produced an influential cameo for the Lions in the series-deciding third Test in Sydney as the tourists scored three second-half tries for a 41-16 thumping of Australia. But Reddan’s slick ball distribution and greater experience alongside fiveeighth Jonny Sexton in a Leinsterdominated outfit has been preferred. Schmidt also surprised by selecting youngster Luke Marshall at inside centre instead of veteran No.12 Gordon D’Arcy, who was dumped from the squad altogether. - AAP

better and we’re No1. If you don’t look to improve yourselves you’re going to go backwards.” Hansen again refused to acknowledge it was a chance for revenge against England, saying it was an “ugly” word for a “beautiful” game. The possibility of the All Blacks, beaten just once since their world Cup win two years ago, being the first from New Zealand to go unbeaten in a calendar year was also given short shrift. “We’ve got a belief in this group if

you starting looking at the outcome you’re going to fall over,” he said. Former skipper Sean Fitzpatrick had no hesitation in spelling out what the test meant for the All Blacks, however. He said the 38-21 defeat last December would be “etched on the brain” of Richie McCaw and his team-mates. “I was with Richie in Paris on Monday night and asked him about the game against France and he said all he was worried about was beating England,” said Fitzpatrick. “For Richie the date of the match,

December 1, 2012, is etched in his brain - along with his colleagues who played in that game. “As All Blacks we love celebrating success, but we remember our losses more than our wins. When people ask me what was my most memorable game, it was without question when we lost to the Lions in Wellington. “I still remember going back into the changing room in 1993 and saying to the team: ‘Make a mental note of how you feel now and make sure you never, ever feel this way again’.” - APNZ

Some of the All Black forwards feared they were going to pass out. The pressure was that intense. The ball sat in the tunnel of the scrum for five seconds - an interminably long period. Neither the All Blacks nor France could reach it, so it sat there as both packs tried to push over it. For four seconds, it was stalemate: 1700kg of loading surging through the spines of each respective frontrower. Despite the pain, muscles crying out to be free of the pressure, no one buckled. Eventually, the All Blacks won a few centimetres and from there, the ball was close enough for Dane Coles to strike for it. “If someone lifted a foot or didn’t stay there and keep pushing it all would have turned to custard,” recalls Sam Whitelock. “Anyone that has been in a scrum, it is full-body movement, it is not one area where you feel it more than another. The longer the ball sits there in the channel - it becomes more of a mental game.” - NZH

Defending Twickers The big news out of the England camp is that Twickenham has an upgraded changing room - all part of their master-plan to not only beat the All Blacks, but to win the World Cup in 2015. How does a changing room make a difference? England coach Stuart Lancaster believes it will better connect his players with the jersey. He’s like quite a smart bloke and he’s noticed that England don’t have the same sense of identity as the All Blacks. He’s quite serious about this - to the extent he spent much of his summer in New Zealand studying the game here.

In brief Breakers stunned The New Zealand Breakers blew a lead they took in to the last minute at Vector Arena in Auckland last night, when the Adelaide 36ers stole an inbound pass from Kerron Johnson with four seconds to go, went the length of the court and scored the basket right on the buzzer for a 95-94 victory, sending the home crowd and players into a state of shock.

Golfers on trial Five Mid Canterbury golfers get a last chance to push for a place in the Aorangi team for the National interprovincial at the South Island tournament in Methven this weekend. Ashburton’s Cameron Grant, Josh Green, Daniel Green and Tinwald’s Josh Smith and Nigel Heney will be looking to secure a place in the final fivestrong team for the National men’s interprovincial in a fortnight’s time on the North Shore. The South Island Interprovincial will act as a trial for the final places with the local five joined by Timaru’s Garth Simpson and George Wardell as well as Damian Rodgers of Highfield in the Aorangi team of eight for this weekend. Grant and Jordan Green played as the number one and two respectively last year, where Aorangi finished up sixth in pool play.

Horse/trainer bond A horse trainers’ love for their thoroughbreds and the buzz from racing is similar to the cravings of an addict, a new study has found. And the special bond between human and animal, built up through hours of close interaction and bonding, culminates with the action and performance on the turf. “The racecourse symbolises a judgement day for owners, breeders, trainers, jockeys and the young horse,” says anthropology researcher Colette Holdorf. As the racing spotlight turns on Riccarton Park Racecourse for today’s 150th running of the New Zealand Cup, the University of Canterbury post-graduate student has been investigating the thoroughbred racing tradition in the region. - APNZ

Scots will need brave hearts By Michael Brown There’s an inevitability about three of this weekend’s four quarter-finals at the World Cup but it won’t stop the Kiwis fielding close to a full-strength lineup against Scotland in Leeds this morning as they search for a more complete performance. New Zealand are expected to dispose of the Bravehearts with relative ease to progress to a likely semi-final matchup against England at Wembley Stadium. It was something predicted long before the tournament kicked off and, as good as the World Cup has been, the Big Three still remain well ahead of the rest of the field. Coach Stephen Kearney settled on his playing 17 yesterday, with Sam Moa selected to round out the four prop rotation ahead of Sam Kasiano and Manu Vatuvei, who is battling a knee complaint, confirmed on the wing. He had already signalled Kevin Locke would play at fullback instead of Josh Hoffman but there’s a feeling Hoffman still remains the leading contender for the No 1 jersey. Hoffman wrenched his shoulder against Papua New Guinea, which influenced Kearney’s thinking, but the coach also wanted to have another good look at Locke who produced a patchy performance in his

only World Cup outing against France. “I’m sure Josh would have been OK with an injection from the doctor but when we had two outside backs plus Tommy [Leuluai] come off last week it threw us out a bit,” Kearney said. “But 80 per cent of it was me wanting to make sure I was going to make the right decision and I needed to make sure I gave Kevin another shot to see what he could offer the group.” Moa won a place on the bench ahead of Kasiano, who has played in all of the games on tour and who has sore knees. Kearney has the luxury of five world-class props in his squad and has options throughout his squad. “We have done all our experimenting,” he said. “That would be disrespectful to the Scottish side. We have to be really mindful of how up for it they will be.” Scotland have showed the value of a good halves combination, something that let some other teams down, in former NSW halfback Peter Wallace and UK Man of Steel Danny Brough. Hooker Ian Henderson and fullback Matt Russell, who has made the most tackle breaks of anyone at this tournament, round out a useful spine. Scotland are hoping their biggest asset will be the passion they take into the contest.

Kiwis coach Stephen Kearney: Not disrespecting Scotland.

“We will go out there and give absolutely everything and, if you do that, you have always got a chance,” coach Steve McCormack said. “If you look at the way we have played in the World Cup, and some of the quality players we have, we’re not here just to make the numbers up. “We are aware of the challenge - it’s a massive, massive challenge. “We’re not daft - we know how good New Zealand are but we will give it everything and in sport shocks can happen. “If New Zealand have an off

day and we perform exceptionally well then who knows what can happen?” The bookies have given them little chance, handing the Kiwis a 42-point start, but the tournament has already been something of a triumph for them with two wins and a draw in pool play. Scotland rugby league have heard from, among others, the Scottish parliament, national Football Association and Scottish Rugby Union congratulating them on their success and found recognition on the back pages of the country’s newspapers. - APNZ

De Jongh, an Auckland centre gold star holder with seven titles, overwhelmed last year’s champion, Kirsten Griffin, formerly of Wellington but now in Nelson, 21-7 in the final. Among the first to congratulate de Jongh was her 94-year-old father, Jos, a leading Auckland bowler with several centre titles in the 1960s and 70s and who is still an active player. De Jongh, who has been playing for 15 years, was held early to 7-all, but then gained control with her greater consistency to power away over the last eight ends, scoring 14 unanswered points. Earlier de Jongh skipped her composite line-up of Bev Crowe and Diane Hazelton to a 13-11 loss in the triples final to Central Otago’s Margaret O’Connor, Linley O’Callaghan and Christine Buchanan. - APNZ

Hinds cyclist Lauren Ellis (left) and the rest of the New Zealand track team take their first pedal strokes towards the 2016 Rio Olympics at the Festival of Speed meet in Invercargill this weekend. Riders from six nations will compete in the first UCI Tier One event held in this country, which provides ranking points for World Cup competition for next year and ultimately to the 2016 Olympic Games. It begins a week of top level international cycling at the Velodrome in Invercargill, with the international meet today and Sunday followed by the four-day Oceania Championship starting on Tuesday. The Tier One competition is a new initiative by the UCI, the sport’s ruling body, which has

created significantly more international racing opportunities around the world. As well as hosts New Zealand, Australia is sending a powerful contingent with riders from Canada, Japan, Malaysia and Scotland also competing. The New Zealand team is based on the men’s group that contested the recent World Cup in Manchester while the New Zealand sprint and endurance women, including Ellis, will make their first international appearance as they begin their campaign towards next year’s Commonwealth Games. After a training refresher at a BikeNZ track camp in Invercargill in October, Ellis and company will have been attempting to find their rhythm and fine-tune their performance this week before their first real racing on the track in over a year.

In brief

■ ADDINGTON

Master Lavros too good Both Mary Kotzikas and Derek Jones were paid tributes following Master Lavros’s convincing victory in yesterday’s (Show Day) Group One $200,000 Hellers Dominion Free-For-All Trot at Addington Raceway. Trainer driver Mark Jones said he was relieved to have finally won a race he had always wanted to win. He also remembered the late Mary Kotzikas, who bred Master Lavros. “He was Mary’s favourite horse. It’s a shame she’s not with us to share the moment but her memory lives on in this horse. “I am pleased for Kypros (Kotzikas).

“He has been a loyal owner and supported me in how I train and drive this horse,” Jones said. The 2003 world driving champion said he was also proud to become a third generation Jones to win the Dominion. “Both Dad (Peter) and Grandad (Derek) won the race. I am pleased to have achieved what they have done. I’m especially pleased to have trained the winner as well. “I think it takes a bit of horsemanship to do that and because of that it’s a race I’ve always wanted to win. “In fact it would be second after the New Zealand Cup,” Jones said.

Peter drove Tussle (1986) and Sundon (1990) to Dominion victories, while Derek drove the 1951 winner, Barrier Reef, at the tender age of 24. It was a superb drive by Jones yesterday which got Master Lavros home. They led with two laps remaining and then handed up to Stig and David Butt with one-and-ahalf laps remaining. That was virtually the end of the race with an easy passing lane win, with Stig second and Stent third. Master Lavros has now won 11 of his 20 starts. He’s also placed three times and won just over $200,000.

Big win for Purdon Legendary New Zealand trainer Barry Purdon pulled another master-stroke at Addington Raceway yesterday (Show Day) when he conditioned 9-yearold Pembrook Benny to win the $200,000 Woodlands New Zealand Free-For-All. Trainer Purdon rated the win right up there with some of his best. He said he was especially pleased for the horse. “He’s such a great horse with a great attitude and hasn’t had much luck in the big races. I was fairly confident today because I thought his run was the second best in the Cup. Horses who go well in the Cup usually got well in the Free-For-All. I’m delighted for the horse. He really deserves this. “It was a great drive by Zac (Butcher). I like his patience and I like the way the horse stormed home today,” Purdon said.

OUR VIEW

Cut-backs claim first victim Coen Lammers EDITOR

ducation Minister Hekia Parata and her bean counters must be proud of themselves. The closure of the McKenzie Residential School has saved them a few dollars but has now claimed its first victim in Mid Canterbury. One student with extreme behavourial issues has been left out in the cold when Ashburton Intermediate was recently forced to exclude them after exhausting all avenues to get the specialist support. The school was told that there were no more places for the student in the Intensive Wraparound Service. The child in question is now drifting in our community with no clear pathway in our education system and society, and is thus destined for a bleak future. Specialist schools like McKenzie would have this student the intense, specialist support that would have given the youngster the best chance of a normal life. Instead the burden has first been thrown back onto the school, without the necessary support, and now has become the problem of the family and wider community. Some will blame the parents for a child getting in this situation, but there are numerous scenarios for dysfunctional families and they all have one thing in common: the child can never be blamed. It is highly likely the family in this particular case will be struggling to cope with the youngster as well. When the family and our education system are unable to offer any protection and solutions, this pupil has a tough road ahead. Neither of those journeys will be cheap for our community and does not even incorporate the potential physical damage the pupil may cause to himself, his family or random strangers. Cutting specialist education services like the McKenzie School, and replacing them with inefficient, underfunded support systems is short-sighted and dangerous. Somewhere down the line, society always pays a price. So why not invest in a young New Zealander who needs help instead of throwing them out with the garbage?

Central parking, Ashburton style

Ashburton Guardian 31

POLL RESULT Yesterday’s result Q: Would you try to confront a burglar at your place?

Hanne Nielsen

TOWNIE GOES COUNTRY

he domain may be a jewel in Ashburton’s crown, but recently it’s been another kind of park that’s been making headlines. Curbside credit is changing for good, with the iconic coin meters being replaced by newfangled pay and display machines that would look at home on any Auckland side street. Not only is Ashburton moving into the future, but this technological leap was broadcast into living rooms all over the country. Immediately following the TV segment I was fielding calls and texts from family and friends in the big smoke, all wanting to know more about how we park our vehicles in this neck of the woods. My initial response was “without breaking the budget”. When we first arrived in town we thought the advertised rate of 60c an hour must have been a typo. Up in Auckland 60c might buy you 5 minutes if you are lucky, so surely there was a digit and a decimal point missing? Seven dollars 60 cents would have seemed like a bargain, so we fed the meter up with gold coins, just in case. As it turned out, our trepidation was unfounded and resulted in a happy surprise for the rest of the motorists that pulled into the park that day. The introduction of solar powered, ticket printing machines spells the end of random acts of kindness like this, as there is no way to top up someone’s time allowance without breaking into their car to replace their receipt. Somehow that doesn’t seem

Pay and display parking meters have changed the way we pay for parking forever.

“

Who knows, the remaining antique machines could become quite an attraction – the only other place I’ve seen them is in the museum

quite as neighbourly as nonchalantly depositing spare shrapnel in the meter, and it also sounds like a lot more work. It also sounds like a lot more work to get to a machine, with the one-to-one park to meter ratio now a thing of the past, but most will be placated by assurances that motorists will not have to walk any more than three parks away to get a ticket. Three parks seems to be the maximum distance away

from one’s destination that the majority of Ashburtonians are willing to park anyway, as traffic volumes still allow convenience to reign supreme. At any rate, there will be none of this business of trudging to the far corner of a parking building, only to lose your bearings and spend the next half hour looking for your vehicle, by which time the ticket has almost expired. For those who prefer to

stick to the old methods or are averse to the 40c price increase - and don’t mind walking - there is always the option of using the remaining quinquagenarian machines in the town’s side streets. With the old machines going towards bolstering the local supply of spare parts, they should keep going strong for a wee while yet. Who knows, the remaining antique machines could become quite an attraction – the only other place I’ve seen them is in the museum, next to a sign that reminisced about the “lovely Rita meter maids” of days gone by. The technological infrastructure may be changing, but Ashburton can still boast plenty of central parking – now with more options than ever before.

■ PHILIPPINES

In brief

Typhoon town feels forgotten Helicopters crisscross the skies constantly above the typhoonwrecked Filipino town of Marabut. In the ruins below, hungry residents look up anxiously every time they pass. The choppers have yet to drop off any aid, and the desperate residents of Marabut are starting to wonder if they ever will. “We feel totally forgotten,” local government official Mildred Labado said, staring across the ruins of her once-picturesque town. Medical supplies are so short here that the injured are covering their wounds with masking tape instead of gauze. Women are using shattered wooden planks of homes for cooking fires. “Help me!” some children in Marabut shouted to a journalist. “Put me on Facebook!” “People are still in a state of shock,” Labado said. “They don’t know what to do. They don’t know where to start. They’re only thinking about survival, about food and water. They can’t even begin to think about what comes next.” Marabut is across San Pedro and San Pablo Bay from Tacloban, the eastern Philippine city where Typhoon Haiyan wreaked its most gruesome destruction last week, killing hundreds of people. The storm reduced both Marabut and Tacloban to grim junkyards of rubble, but here the death toll was much lower. Mayor Percival Ortillo Jr. said every one of Marabut’s 15,946 homes was destroyed in the typhoon, and more than 2000 people were injured, but only 20

Former Playboy model Brandi Brandt was extradited from Los Angeles to Sydney to face cocaine conspiracy charges. The 45-yearold actress and Playmate of the Month for October 1987 appeared in a Sydney court after her arrival on a flight from the United States. The former wife of Motley Crue bassist Nikki Sixx did not apply for bail or enter pleas. She was remanded in custody to appear in court in December. She is accused of being involved with a cocaine importation syndicate that hid packages of the drug on Qantas and United Airlines passenger planes that flew from California to Sydney. - AP

people are confirmed dead and eight others are missing. He said the death toll was relatively low because most people managed to take refuge in concrete buildings — the only structures standing amid a sea of wooden debris — and five caves set high in hills. The United Nations says the storm affected 11 million people in all, more than 670,000 of whom lost their homes. The enormity of the task of helping them all has pressed the resources of the Philippines hard. Survivors in all the worst-hit areas have complained that aid has been far too slow to come.

On Thursday morning for the first time, pallets of international aid lined the grass runway at Tacloban. In Guiuan, another blown-out city east of Marabut, US Osprey helicopters dropped off French medics and boxes of American food aid in a soccer field. But far less aid has come to Marabut, a fourhour drive from Guiuan, the closest town. “Only places like Tacloban are getting attention,” Labado said. “But we are also victims. We also need help.” Shortly after she spoke, a helicopter landed in a small field in Marabut for the first time, and

hundreds of people rushed to the spot. But soldiers aboard only disgorged a few sacks of rice to supply a small military unit occupying a ruined home to boost security. Minutes later, three trucks filled with sacks of food from the provincial government arrived outside the destroyed municipal headquarters, a twostory building with its roof and windows blown off that now tilts forward slightly. Crowds quickly surrounded the delivery, and a rifle-toting soldier wearing a belt of grenades across his chest stood atop dozens of sacks of rice. - AP

Car safety systems researched

386 kids rescued in porn bust

The US government is speeding up research on safety systems that automatically prevent drivers from operating their cars if they are drunk or aren’t buckled properly. Officials also said that they expect to decide by year’s end how to encourage automakers to make available in more cars some special safety systems already in certain high-end vehicles. Those systems warn drivers before a collision that they are about to run into another vehicle, and can brake automatically to avoid a crash or make it less severe. The innovations — collision avoidance, seat belt interlocks and driver alcohol detection systems — hold the potential of dramatically reducing traffic fatalities, according to the Na-

Playboy extradited

tional Highway Traffic Safety Administration. As they looked ahead to emerging safety technologies, officials released data showing the first increase in highway fatalities since 2005. There were 33,561 traffic deaths in 2012, 1082 more than the year before. “We need a new vision and a new blend of technological research to address some of the most significant and persistent

threats to American motorists,” the agency’s head, David Strickland, said. “We must look to technological intervention to make the next great leap, and get them poised for fleet adoption as soon as possible.” The 3 per cent increase in highway fatalities may be due in part to last year’s unusually warm winter, which lengthened the motorcycle riding season. Seventy-two per cent of the increase occurred in the first three months of the year. Most of those involved were motorcyclists or pedestrians, the government said. The seat belt interlocks would prevent cars and trucks from being driven when the driver or a passenger isn’t buckled properly. - AP

Nearly 350 people including school teachers, doctors and actors have been arrested in what Toronto police called one of the largest child porn busts they have ever seen. Police said 386 children were rescued as a result of the sweeping investigation. More than 100 people were arrested in Canada and 76 in the US in an investigation dubbed Project Spade. “It is alleged that officers seized hundreds of thousands of videos detailing horrific sexual acts against very young children, some of the worst that they have ever viewed,” police said.

Police says activists attacked a passenger bus defying an opposition-called transport blockade with gasoline bombs, injuring 12 people on board. Suspected opposition activists attacked the bus, which was part of a convoy being escorted by police after midnight near Basamadi village on the Mahendra highway in southern Nepal. The attackers fled in the darkness. Police believe they were supporters of the alliance of 33 opposition parties who have been attacking vehicles to enforce their nine-day transport blockage since Tuesday aimed at disrupting next week’s elections in Nepal. - AP

Stitches for actor Jake Gyllenhaal needed stitches after shooting an intense scene for his new film, Nightcrawler. A spokeswoman for Gyllenhaal says the 32-year-old actor returned to work yesterday for a final day of filming after a few hours in the emergency room. Mara Buxbaum said Gyllenhaal was in character Wednesday when he hit a mirror, which unexpectedly broke and cut his hand. She said it was “badly cut up” and required “numerous stiches.” Nightcrawler is a crime drama also starring Rene Russo and Bill Paxton. It’s set for release next year. - AP

Death row organs An eleventh-hour request by a death row inmate to donate his organs is raising troubling moral and medical questions among transplant experts and ethicists. Less than a day before child killer Ronald Phillips was set to die by lethal injection, Republican Gov. John Kasich postponed the execution to look into Phillips’ request. Phillips, 40, wants to give relatives a kidney before he is put to death and his heart afterward.

PlayStation 4 is here The wait nearly over, Casey Karch was ready to get his hands on one of the first PlayStation 4 game consoles set to be released. Karch, a resident of the US capital Washington DC, was number 21 in the queue of those having pre-ordered the first 100 of the new Sony consoles delivered to GameStop, a retailer in Rockville, Maryland. “There is a first-day magic about it,” Karch said. “I’m going to go home and play (the new edition of the game) Killzone, and then sleep a few hours,” he told AFP. - AFP

■ RECORD JAIL TIME

Ross earns 10 years jail for Ponzi fraud

Developing a customer-centric approach in the agri-sector

griculture is very important to the economy of Mid Canterbury and it requires business strategies that respond to unique needs and specific challenges of the industry. The latest KPMG Agribusiness Agenda looked at how New Zealand’s primary sector needs to develop a customer-centric approach to its marketing, by creating products with unique attributes that are sought after by global consumers. During the roundtable discussions, industry leaders raised a range of issues around the performance of our primary sector globally and highlighted a number of obstacles. The number one barrier to success was selling on price rather than other attributes. The view is that a trading mentality has developed where too many companies are focused on maximising production and then selling to anybody who is able to pay.

Matt Hannah

BUSINESS MATTERS

Cost appears to remain the key consideration, rather than thinking more widely about the full range of attributes that are valued by the customers. Producers need to choose the opportunities that fit with their long-term plan. This can require a change in thinking with the focus turned to other areas that enhance the value proposition, such as innovation and customer loyalty. Even with the current high demand for products, it is important to remain patient because companies that are opportunistic in their approach risk losing value in the long-term. The industry needs to accept

that international competitors are looking to change the way they do business in order to be more competitive and need to adjust accordingly. For some companies, success may be trading in a single country but with a deep understanding of the customers and how to deliver them value. The agribusiness sector’s success globally is about more than just selling everything we produce for quick financial gains. Realising the benefits of attribute marketing, with a greater focus on becoming sincerely customer-centric, will see companies in the primary sector get the most value from their products. There is no one size fits all for attribute marketing. It is about creating the greatest priority to attributes that are most relevant to your customers.

David Ross

25/1

imposed on Michael Swann in 2009 for his $17 million defrauding of the Otago District Health Board. In August, Ross pleaded guilty to four charges of false accounting and one of theft by a person in a special relationship. He also pleaded guilty to charges laid by the Financial Markets Authority that he provided a financial service when he was not registered for that service, he knowingly made a false or misleading declaration or representation to the FMA for the purposes of obtaining authorisation to become an Authorised Financial Adviser, and he supplied information or produced documents to FMA which he knew to be false or misleading. Four investors, who were granted name suppression, read out their victim impact statements at the opening of the hearing, describing the emotional and financial stress each had been put under by Ross’s offending.

Disgraced fund manager David Ross faces the longest jail-term imposed by the courts for a case brought by the Serious Fraud Office for his long-running Ponzi scheme, which the judge said was motivated by a “twisted form of vanity” rather than simply greed. Judge Denys Barry sentenced Ross to 10 years and 10 months imprisonment, with a minimum non-parole period of five years and five months, when he appeared in the Wellington District Court yesterday. Ross pleaded guilty to charges in August that he effectively ran a Ponzi scheme through his Ross Asset Management, and fictitiously recorded assets of some $384 million to attract new investors and retain existing ones. A Ponzi scheme is a moneygo-round arrangement which uses cash from new investors to pay returns to existing members, who typically think they are reap-

ing the rewards of an astute investment plan. “You stole from people who trusted you with their life savings,” Judge Barry said in sentencing Ross. “The cold hard reality is you were a liar and a thief operating on a scale unprecedented in this country.” The judge adopted a starting point of 16 years and discounted that to take into account the early guilty plea, offer of reparations and some degree of remorse, and that rather than being motivated by greed, said the offending was driven by “some illusion, some sort of twisted form of vanity or hubris.” He rejected a submission not to impose a minimum non-parole period, saying a third of the final sentence “would not be enough to denounce deter or effectively punish this offending.” The jail term is the longest ordered by the courts for a case brought by the SFO, trumping a nine years and six months term

YOUR STARS by Forecasters

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20) Weekend or not, chances are you’ll have both your money and your professional hats on, as the spirit of rebellion on both fronts take hold. TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21) It’s time to revisit the promises and intentions made during your birthday month, but also to update them in light of your experiences since then. GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 22) What you really need over the weekend is a chance to chill out, relax and just let things settle, with life getting busier from now on. CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 24) With life becoming a lot busier and more work focused next week, make this a weekend for play and for friendship and relationship building. LEO (JULY 24 – AUG 23) Weekend or not, there’ll be little chance of keeping your professional hat off, but focus more on letting your instincts and imagination run wild. VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 23) Make this a weekend for going off script and also for challenging your excuses, especially if you’ve found yourself stuck in a rut. LIBRA (SEP 23 – OCT 23) Keep your money hat on over the weekend in the lead up to Monday’s Full Moon, paying attention to your financial instincts and gut reactions. SCORPIO (OCT 23 – NOV 24) While there may be some personal and/or relationship tension in the air, with the communication lines open this could be just what you need. SAGITTARIUS (NOV 24 – DEC 21) With a rebellion taking place on the career and income fronts and Full Moon vibes building on the work front, it’s time to change things up. CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 20) The things that playful lunar vibes are evoking over the weekend should come as no surprise, but this time around old excuses no longer work. AQUARIUS (JAN 20 – FEB 19) With Full Moon vibes building this could create some work/life balance tension, but you’ve had plenty of practice perfecting your juggling skills. PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 20) Your relationships will benefit most from having the communication lines open, with a need to make that a priority this weekend.
