Mid Canterbury schools are not ruling out strike action with their Christchurch counterparts to fight a ministry shake up of the city’s schools. At a New Zealand Educational Institute union conference on Wednesday, more than 500 Christchurch teachers agreed to take part in strike action against the Ministry of Education which has proposed to close and merge schools following the earthquakes. The strike, scheduled for February 19, would mean most Christchurch schools would be affected by teacher absentees, with 520 of the 846 voting teachers at the meeting, wanting strike action. Mid Canterbury Principals’ Association president and Longbeach School principal Neil Simons said it was still early days, and Mid Canterbury schools had not made a decision as to whether they would join in on the stand against an overhaul of the city’s education landscape. “It hasn’t been discussed here and I don’t know if it will be something we pursue, I guess it’s becoming a union matter now,” Mr Simons said. “We can’t count it out ... but for now it would be pretty unlikely. “If it became a national matter, we would support our colleagues.” The move could technically be illegal because strike action can only be undertaken if workers refuse to work due to collective agreement disputes.

However, Mr Simons said he had sympathy for fellow teachers in Christchurch, who had the bombshell dropped on them in September, being told 13 schools would close with 26 planned to merge. “We absolutely sympathise with them, the lines of communication have not been clear between the ministry and schools and no one likes to hear of school closures,” he said. Hampstead principal Peter Melrose said Mid Canterbury schools would take action “if called upon”, and he felt for his Christchurch colleagues who were dumped into a situation that was spurred by the earthquakes. “It’s one that hasn’t come about because of one person’s actions, it’s an act of God.” Mr Melrose said he had supported principals in Christchurch and would continue to do so. “Many of us know principals up there and we give them a ring to ask how they are going. There’s nothing we can do as such, we can just make contact and give them a sounding board but we certainly feel for them,” Mr Melrose said. NZEI union president Ian Leckie said the Government proposals were based on “wrong or poor quality information”. He applauded Christchurch teachers for making a stand against the unnecessary disruption and radical reform that has been put before them Mr Leckie said it was now up to the ministry to try and stop the strike.

Rakaia River angler Isaac Eaton with a 19 pound salmon he caught this week below the State Highway One bridge on the south side.

Salmon season ‘a record breaker’ By Susan Sandys Mid Canterbury salmon anglers are buzzing as catch numbers and fish sizes this season hark back to the 1990s. Just a few weeks into the 2012/2013 season dozens of salmon have been caught at the main river mouths of Canterbury, in good condition and a good size. Central South Island Fish and Game officer Mark Webb said the season was proving to be a “record breaker” along the South Island’s east coast. November had seen 80 salmon caught on the south side of the Rangitata River mouth, the most since 1999, with a top weight landed of 24.5 pound or 11 kilo-

grams. And so far for this month there had already been 81 caught at the same location. “This has been the best start to a season in years,” Mr Webb said. From the Rangitata River to the Waimakariri, all coastal river mouths had reported an early run of salmon. North Canterbury Fish and Game officer Steve Terry, who himself landed two salmon of 16 and 19 pounds on Wednesday, said many caught by anglers this season had been over 20 pound “which indicates they have had a good food source in the open ocean”. Salmon numbers significantly dropped in the 1999 to 2000 year and never recovered, making some people point to irreversible

factors such as climate change. But Mr Webb said it was impossible to choose one reason behind fluctuations in salmon populations, although marine environment variations were probably a large factor. Releases from hatcheries and salmon spawning stream enhancement projects carried out by Fish and Game most likely positively influenced populations, but it was difficult to judge to what extent. He said hatchery fish were among those being caught currently, although most of those tended to come back later in the season. “It’s certainly a bumper season compared to the last 12 years. We don’t know if it will continue (throughout the season), we hope

it does. If so that’s great and we hope it will be the same next season and the year after,” he said. A nor’-west weather flow over the region in the last two days had put a temporary halt on angling and it would potentially be late next week before the rivers were fishable again. Among anglers who have fared well this season is Isaac Eaton of Christchurch, who landed a 19 pound salmon at the Rakaia River, just below the State Highway One bridge on the south side, on Monday. It was “probably” the biggest fish he had ever caught. He had not seen many anglers down the river, but expected more would be there as news of the boomer season travelled.

Three people have been killed and seven injured during a storm, including a tornado, that hit Auckland yesterday. Police have confirmed the deaths and injuries. Those affected were believed to be involved in the construction of a school at Hobsonville Point and/or were hit by a tree. About 150 homes were damaged at Whenuapai and many were deemed uninhabitable or were without power. About 300 residents had been evacuated to Whenuapai Air Force Base and Auckland Council welfare staff were assisting them. Electricity was off in numerous parts of Auckland including Henderson, Greenhithe, Hobsonville, Riverhead, Meadowbank and St Johns. There was widespread surface flooding on roads and motorways throughout Auckland and motorists are urged to take care or stay off the roads if possible. Andy Gummer of St John said at least seven people had been taken to Auckland and North Shore hospitals. A tornado hit Hobsonville during the storm, tearing down trees and ripping panels from the motorway. Fire, police and ambulance raced to multiple call-outs in Hobsonville and Upper Harbour. Emergency services were kept busy trying to clear blocked roads. At 1.52pm MetService weather radar detected thunderstorms near Auckland, Orewa, Albany, the inner Hauraki Gulf, Daily Flat, Whangaparaoa and Silverdale. Fire Service area manager Murray Binning said appliances were responding to damage more widespread than the 1km zone at a construction site. “There are houses with roofs off scattered all over west Auckland, so we’re dealing with those too,” he said.

Work on three new $14.9 million storage ponds for the Mayfield Hinds Irrigation Scheme is progressing, with contractors now starting to install plastic liner in the ponds, which have a combined surface area of about 300 football fields. The project will provide much needed storage for the 150 farmershareholders on the scheme, especially when the Rangitata River which provides their water is on restrictions in summer. Rooney Earthmoving has designed and is building the ponds, which have a combined capacity of 6.1 million cubic metres of water and a surface area of about 150ha. Scheme general manager Hamish Tait said water would be diverted into the storage ponds from the

existing main supply race, then gravity fed back into the network during restrictions. The ponds are located at Carew, north of the Arundel bridge on the left bank of the Rangitata. Work started last October and the ponds should be ready for action by the start of the next irrigation season in September. Improved water use efficiency and consistent quality and quantity of farm produce requires reliable irrigation water. About 80 per cent of the MHIS farmers have converted from border-dyke to spray irrigation in recent years. Over half the 32,000 hectares

under irrigation within the scheme is in dairying, with the remainder in dairy support, mixed livestock and cropping. Around 70 per cent of farmers already have on-farm storage to better manage their individual watertakes (totalling nearly 7 million cubic metres), but the Carew ponds will be a scheme asset for improving reliability. Project progress to date includes installation of intake and outlet pipes, construction of all three pond embankments (1,150,000m3 material cut/fill), installation of interconnecting pipes within the ponds, construction of two weirs in the

’

main race, and diversion of stock water races. An impermeable pond liner is part of the design. The pond embankments are currently being lined and when this is completed the pond bases will follow. The liner will prevent the stored water seeping out. Inflow to the ponds will be controlled by automated hydraulic gates at the inlet structure. Inter pond culverts are also controlled by automated gates as is the outlet structure used to pass stored water back into the main race. The control system will operate in tandem with the existing MHIL irrigation management system.

Mr Tait said investigations were also continuing into a proposal to pipe the Mayfield Hinds scheme. “We are looking to tender the project early next year to identify a contractor and get more accurate costs to shareholders.” Only after careful consideration of the cost-benefit of the project would shareholders be asked to vote on the proposal. Mr Tait said that the key advantages of piping were reducing the energy cost of irrigation and with a more efficient delivery network, water saved could be used to irrigate new farmland. This would allow Mid Canterbury to further increase its agricultural production. However the project must be affordable. The pipe project would have a three-year construction phase if it gets the green light.

New New Zealand citizens flocking in By Susan Sandys

ebcarter@xtra.co.nz NZMMMA Member

The number Mid Canterbury is sold on!

The number of Mid Canterbury new immigrants becoming citizens of New Zealand skyrocketed to 152 for the year yesterday. The Ashburton District Council had to squeeze in its sixth citizenship ceremony for the year yesterday, where 29 immigrants from Samoa, Britain, America, Thailand and Romania swore allegiance to

their new country. The figure is more than twice as many as the 66 who were sworn in last year, and more than three times the 45 sworn in the year before. “The diversity that now makes up this district is fantastic,” mayor Angus McKay told the Guardian after yesterday’s ceremony. “It’s what will continue to make the Ashburton District, built by our pioneers, to see new pioneers com-

ing through all the time,” he said. He said the district’s growing population, of which immigration was one component, presented a challenge for the council going into the future. Present ratepayers were having to build for new citizens coming to the district. “That adds to the cost,” he said. The stadium project was an example of that, where the council was taking into account both the district’s current and future popu-

lation. Previous councils installed a good water supply, while today’s council was currently looking at storm water provision for the town, and providing clean potable water throughout the district. Meanwhile, subnational population figures released in October showed Ashburton was the third fastest growing territorial authority area in New Zealand. At June 30, 2006, the Ashburton District’s population was 28,000,

and at June 30 this year the provisional population figure was 30,600. Among those being sworn in yesterday were Tapelu and Kalameli Aifai from Samoa, with their young daughter Lydia. They had been in Ashburton about one year, where Mr Aifai worked at CMP Canterbury. They said it was a privilege to be in their new country, where they believed they could provide a better future for their children.

Robin’s Art School teacher Robin Arnst is farewelling three of her students this year including Bianca Hall (left) and Olie Body.

Art students’ work on show By Susan Sandys Robin’s Art School students last night put finishing touches on works for their annual exhibition to be held this weekend. Robin’s Art School is open to five to 18-year-olds and is tutored by Ashburton artist Robin Arnst. Mrs Arnst said she was looking forward to the exhibition, but was saddened to farewell three of her long-term students - Bianca Hall, 17, Olie Body, 18, and Georgia Guilford, 17. The three were all finishing their schooling this year and were moving on to tertiary study. Bianca had been

A “swat team” of whale rescue experts has undertaken an intensive three-day course in freeing whales that have become tangled in ropes and nets. There were two such cases in Far North waters in 2010. One, a seven-metre humpback, was freed after two days. Last month’s course saw DOC staff and experts from Whale-Rescue.org combine a day of theory with two days of exercises in the Bay of Islands. -APNZ

a student of the school ever since she was five years old, while Olie had been attending since she was nine, and Georgia since she was eight. She said it was always sad to farewell students she had taught for years, although they would generally pop back and see her when they were in town. “I love the kids and being part of their journey in life,” Mrs Arnst said. She said the three girls had exciting futures and she wished them the best. Bianca will undertake a certificate in media at Aoraki Polytechnic in Christchurch, Georgia will study fine arts at Canterbury University, while Olie will take religious studies at the University of Otago.

Mrs Arnst said there would be more than 100 works altogether on display at the exhibition, which would be at the Short Street Studio 10am to 3pm tomorrow and Sunday. She said exhibiting gave her students experience in working towards a goal. “If they are going to go on as artists they need to understand the work must be finished properly.” Various students would be at the gallery during the exhibition. Mrs Arnst said the aim of her art school was not teaching students how to make pretty pictures, but how to put their feelings into their work. She said her students were taught to “look beyond the norm”. by David Fletcher

RSA triple-killing survivor Susan Couch will be paid $300,000 by Corrections. Ms Couch said while there was no formal apology, she’d take it. Couch was brutally bashed and left for dead by William Bell at the Mt WellingtonPanmure RSA in December 2001. Bell also murdered William Absolum, 63, cleaner Mary Hobson, 47, and garage door installer Wayne Johnson, 56, when he went into the RSA to steal $12,000. He was under Corrections supervision at the time. He had been released from prison after serving five years for aggravated robbery on conditions being monitored by Corrections, through the Probation Service. Ms Couch sued Corrections for $500,000, alleging he was not being supervised properly when he committed his crimes at the RSA. Corrections Department chief executive Ray Smith said yesterday he initiated discussions to “achieve an outcome that I believe will be the right thing for Susan and her family”. The Supreme Court ruled in 2010 that Ms Couch could sue for damages for negligence and personal injury but there would be a high test for the claim to succeed. Bell is serving a life sentence with a nonparole period of 30 years for the murders and the attempted murder of Ms Couch. Ms Couch told Campbell Live she had mixed emotions about the payment but was exhausted by dealing with many government departments, which she said would continue.

“This is the closest to the apology I will get. People don’t realise that when they make an apology they are validating someone’s suffering and not just ignoring them,” she said. “It’s not a formal apology, but it’s ‘Whoops. Sorry. Our bad.’, so I’ll take it.” Ms Couch said she now had a new life. “As human beings, we just want to be seen and know that we mean something or matter ... It’s a bird in the hand, which is why I accepted it, but I don’t know what the repercussions would be.” Mr Smith said last night that Ms Couch had suffered extraordinarily “so I wanted to do the best I could with the backing of the Government. “I tried to put together a figure that I thought recognised what happened to Susan and let her put this behind her in some way and start her life with a bit more financial security. But I was not ever going to meet everyone’s expectations.” Ms Couch’s lawyer, Brian Henry, said the payment represented $10,000 a year for 30 years. “The fact that we got here isn’t the end of the battle, it’s the start of a different battle. “We still need to get proper compensation. In terms of negligence actions, proper compensation is $10 million. “She right now does not receive anything from ACC, she is on a benefit ... so we are still looking for compensation. When I first met Sue, she was fighting ACC, IRD and Social Welfare.” The next step was to get to a place where Ms Couch could get compensation. -APNZ

Expert praises CTV rescue effort By Kurt Bayer An international disaster response expert today (Thursday) praised the decisions taken by rescuers at the collapsed CTV building, saying “the man on the ground is always right”. The six-storey Christchurch office block collapsed in the February 22 earthquake, claiming 115 lives. Several survivors were pulled from the rubble by police officers, firefighters, passers-by and Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) experts.

But at least eight others who survived the initial ‘pancake’ collapse at 12.51pm in the magnitude-6.3 quake could not be pulled out alive from the twisted steel and concrete debris. At an inquest into their deaths today, Ernesto Ojeda, a captain in the Los Angeles Fire Department and a 20-year USAR veteran, said the rescuers on the ground had to call on their experience and skills to make life-and-death decisions. “The man on the ground is always right,” he said. “That person has to make the

decision based on his experience and knowledge, and he has to do it now.” While he criticised senior fire managers for failing to take control of the CTV site, he was astounded by the brave actions of frontline rescuers. They worked beneath a precarious lift shaft which was on fire, had loose debris hanging off it, and could have collapsed in an aftershock. Captain Ojeda noted that firefighters took off their helmets to burrow into man-made tunnels to

try to find survivors. They said they left their helmets behind so if the tunnel collapsed they could be identified. Those actions showed they were “right at the limit” of operations, he said. “They went beyond the call of duty, that’s for sure.” It was not a waste of time to remove debris by hand, he said, refuting claims made earlier in the inquest that those efforts were too slow. Using heavy machinery could have crushed survivors trapped

below, and the call had to be made on the ground. He saw evidence of text book rescues, with voids being shored up by blocks and jacks. USAR chiefs stood back to get an overall picture of the operation, which was “appropriate”, as was splitting the large site into two separate search areas. One of the difficulties was fighting the fire, he said, which was deep-seated, with an unknown origin and unknown cause. Firefighters tried to “delayer” the debris to try to fight the fire, but

by doing so, they gave oxygen to the fire. They were “damned if you do, damned if you don’t”, said Captain Ojeda. “This was as difficult a type of rescue you’re likely to come across.” The coroner’s expert witness was giving evidence at an inquest in Christchurch into the deaths of eight students at King’s Education School for English Language on the concrete tower’s third floor. The inquest, before Coroner Gordon Matenga, was due to conclude yesterday. - apnz

Methven students give back to their former school By Myles Hume After taking so much from the school that shaped them into who they are today, it was time for a group of Mount Hutt College pupils to give back yesterday. Ten college pupils, ranging from year seven to 10, turned up at their former school, Our Lady of the Snows, where they trimmed hedges and pulled weeds as part of the Community Services Day with fellow pupils who worked on various other projects in town. It was an opportunity to give back to the community which has provided so much, the day seeing some teens head to the Maori Lakes, the Methven Reserve and other locations, to clean up and do their part. With 10 pupils returning to OLS, Mount Hutt College technology teacher and project coordinator Mike Pearce said it was an opportunity for pupils to set an example while providing a fitting send off to principal Alison Lilley, who will be leav-

Home owners left in limbo By Coen Lammers

editor

t is hard not to feel sympathy for Graeme Wilson and his neighbours in Tinwald who can expect the second bridge road to run past or through their properties. Many people like Mr Wilson bought or built houses in this area to find the space to live a semi-rural lifestyle. That dream may be shattered for many of them once the second bridge across the Ashburton River is constructed. This project may take another 10 to 15 years to actually materialise but the affected residents must almost feel like they are on death row, waiting for the inevitable, or for a desperately late reprieve. With the exact location for this urban traffic solution still to be finalised, the home owners are left in limbo. The prospect of a major thoroughfare coming past or through your property will give little incentive to develop your home. Trying to sell the property and starting again elsewhere in the district may even be harder to achieve. Nobody, not even the affected citizens, argue that Asbhurton needs a second bridge to cope with the rapidly growing traffic numbers but the locals in Tinwald feel they have become the victims of the easiest and cheapest solution, not the option that will cause the least disruption for the residents. The home owners argue that the district will have to plan for

a rural bypass road in the near future to deal with increasing traffic, so it would make sense for the bridge to fit into these long-term developments. They see the current plans as a short term fix and that they have been sacrificed at the altar of expedience. If this rural bypass is indeed inevitable, it would make sense to include the bridge plans, but obviously the crystal ball business is not straightforward. The council has gone to great lengths in its consultation process with the community, and armed with all submissions the independent consultants from Opus have recommended the urban option. When the recommendation is discussed at council next week it will be interesting to see how much the consultants considered the quality of life for those directly affected. Quality of life is hard to quantify, but getting a major road through your garden is a setback in anyone’s book. To get the community along, especially those affected, the council will have to show that this impact has been fully evaluated and that the decision is not purely based on dollars. The suggestion by mayor Angus McKay that the subject could be discussed behind closed doors is outrageous. As he points out himself, whenever people’s lives are at stake, the discussion has to be in the public arena to safeguard any credibility.

YOUR VIEW Second bridge A bridge too far? The public was sucked in to discussing where the bridge and approach roads should go - not the bigger issue of whether we need a second bridge and why the ratepayers have to pay to fix a Transit NZ problem. Former mayors and engineers all said it wasn’t needed - but the public had its muffs on ... so predictable really. Now Chalmers Avenue will be a non-stop truck corridor for Ashburton’s largest businesses’ CMP, Talley’s, SFF Fairton, Abattoirs, and of course the new industrial complex with all trucks heading or coming from south having a clear road. But you all know that. Kevin Hurley

The council has yet again thrown a spanner in the works.

For a council who claims they are doing ‘public consultation’ how does one explain the fact I find out a road is going to pass within 30 metres of my rural home by hearing from a local farmer, who had read the front page of the Thursday morning paper. I find it appalling and disrespectful on the council’s behalf to not have notified me personally regarding their proposed route. I am one of the initial 32 potentially affected land owners and it should have been a priority of the council to contact us all with their chosen option and not just the seven people they will be taking land from. After the shocking letter in July land owners have been anxiously waiting to find out council’s decision but to read it in the paper before being notified is a disgrace and makes a mockery of the council’s so-called public consultation process. The excuse that I am not

an immediately affected land owner is rubbish as I own a property which will be a direct boundary to this proposed road, please tell me how I’m not affected? Further to information received on the feedback forms, this is another example of council NOT listening to its citizens. Feedback from these forms has been ignored. Another thumb’s down to the council, a great way to put added stress on the lives of your citizens over the Christmas period. Kasey Morris

District plan The Ashburton District Plan was released in its final form on November 14. One rule change which is causing us considerable concern is the change regarding subdivision and building in the small rural townships, that is, Hinds, Mayfield,

Mount Somers, Barrhill, Lyndhurst, Fairton and Chertsey. Council has changed the minimum area for both of these activities to 10000m² (one hectare), where it was previously 1000m². Our company submitted to Council during the consultation process on the basis that it was a typo in the originally advertised plan (it was shown as 1000m² and one hectare). Our view was that council had made a mistake and that it would be corrected to the rule in the previous plan. Council accepted our submission in part and amended the 1000m² to one hectare, which was the opposite of what we intended. The upshot of this rule change is that it is now difficult to build on existing sections or subdivide new ones in these townships. Both these activities are now possible only at council’s discretion. The only relief available at this point is for someone that has sub-

mitted on the plan to appeal the matter to the Environment Court. This is a serious matter which will effectively “freeze” these townships in their present state, any vacant land will remain that way (if not larger than one hectare) unless the owners are prepared to spend a lot of money on an uncertain outcome. We are willing to help co-ordinate an appeal to the Environment Court if we can identify affected parties. If you think you are affected please contact us immediately as there is only a limited amount of time to appeal. The final date for an appeal is December 28. David Smith Surveying Ltd

Ashburton White Ribbon Campaign 2012 To our sponsors and supporters On behalf of the White Ribbon Day Committee and the Families Without Violence Network we would like to thank our wonderful community for supporting White Ribbon 2012. We would also like to thank The Trust Ashburton, Classic Hits, Ashburton Guardian, Hotel Ashburton, Somerset Grocer, Safer Ashburton District, A&R Digital Solutions and the Ashburton YMCA as our sponsors of the campaign. We would also like to thank Ashburton College, Barbarians Ashburton RLC, MSA Men’s Choir, I-Site, Ashburton Intermediate Kapa Haka Group, Richie, April and Latoya Leef, Jock Ross and last but certainly not least Ruben Wiki for their support and commitment towards White Ribbon. The feedback from the campaign has been positive and it’s great to have the support of our community for local campaigns such as this. Your contribution has actually made a real and significant difference to the level of family violence that will occur in this community. Through your support we have been able to raise substantial awareness on this issue and research indicates that through raising awareness we both reduce incidents of family violence and increase people’s propensity to act where they see family violence occurring. So again, a big thank you from the White Ribbon Day committee and the Families Without Violence Network. Poppy Vear, Families Without Violence Co-ordinator, Ashburton White Ribbon Campaign Manager

YOUR VIEW Community Pool hours

the pool is not being fully utilised by the schools or other activities. Patrons are encouraged to ring the pool or visit our facebook page to ascertain if any free space has become available during the day for swimming in either the main or small pool. On occasions any one of the pools can be closed down for several hours for hygiene and health reasons due to accidents associated with children. Previous experience dictates if there are no arranged programmes in place, then there will be many days when the pool is not utilised at all or very poorly utilised, a situation which is not an economical use of scarce resources. Finally concerning public access to the proposed new pool the current plans approved by council in our opinion indicate the public will have full access to the pool during its normal business hour with much more flexibility afforded by the provision of four separate pools catering for a much wider spectrum of user groups. Judith Sommerville Pool Chairman

Dianne McGirr’s letter concerning the pool hours and public access highlights the difficulties the management of the existing pool face in trying to match the needs of the casual public and other pool user groups (who are also the public) during peak demand hours of between 3.30pm to 7pm during the school term week days, with very limited pool space. Simply everyone’s needs cannot be met at the same time so trade-offs have to be made between casual public access and other user groups to ensure the facility is fully utilised. The challenge is to keep the rate payer contribution through the Council Operational Grant at an affordable level for all ratepayers is to maximise the numbers of admissions at all times which I think is being achieved with the pool fully utilised daily from the opening time of 6am through to 9pm. See pool timetable below. Where possible pool, staff allow public swimming by arrangement if

Arlo gets to add the finishing touch Mt Somers Springburn School five-year-old Arlo Bruce puts the last decoration on the civic Christmas tree at the Ashburton Public Library yesterday. Each year, a different Mid Canterbury school is invited to put the final decoration on the tree and turn the festive lights on, before singing three Christmas carols to the gathered guests. This year it was Mt Somers Springburn School’s turn. The lights will now be on a timer, meaning passers-by will be able to take in the festive sight from the West Street side of the library after dark.

People were evacuated from their houses and others told to stay indoors after an ammonia leak in Alexandra’s industrial area yesterday. Alexandra Volunteer Fire Brigade chief fire officer Russell Anderson said contractors working at the Hinton Estate coolstore in Chicago St cut into a pipe they believed had been isolated. That sparked an emergency services callout that saw a 100m cordon placed around the coolstore. Central Otago police sub-area commander Senior Sergeant Ian Kerrisk said from the six houses within the evacuation zone, two people were evacuated to outside the cordon. People at businesses and Dunstan Educare, an early childhood centre, were told to stay indoors as the situation was treated as potentially explosive. Although it took the brigade about two hours to control the scene, it only took them just under 15 minutes to isolate the system and turn off the gas valve, Mr Anderson said. “It all takes time; it’s not something you can just rock up to and do.” The contractors were upgrading safety valves on the refrigeration unit but when they cut through the pipes, they found the system was not isolated as they had been led to believe by another contractor. The contractor who cut the pipe was taken to Dunstan Hospital, but only as a precaution. “They [the contractors] reacted pretty quickly; there were a couple of breathing suits in that room.” The contractors were the only people working at the coolstore, as the fruit packing season was yet to begin. -APNZ

After years of concocting and testing different combinations on her own dogs - whom she and Mr Thomas affectionately refer to as “test dummies” - she has developed a range of 12 products from flea repellent to wound healer. Mr Thomas says he was initially skeptical aromatherapy would work, until he saw the results at a dog sled competition. Mrs Thomas offered the owner the anxiety remedy when she saw a dog was so stressed it was had diarrhoea. “We gave him the drops and within 45 minutes the diarrhoea had stopped. After more drops later in the day the dog slept right through the night. That was when I became a convert,” Mr Thomas said. Mrs Thomas says there is one dog difficulty her remedies cannot treat barking. “Barking is all about behaviour. You need a dog trainer or therapist to deal with that one.” - APNZ

Reserve Bank cautious of pick-up in housing market By Paul McBeth

WORLD INDICES ASX200

Christchurch dog owners with pets stressed by the earthquakes are turning to an unusual remedy - aromatherapy. Bottles of the anxiety treatment brewed up by trained aromatherapist Jo Thomas are being snapped up, with Christchurch customers now making up about 20 per cent of her business. Experts are divided on how it works - or even if it works - but Mrs Thomas, who operates from her home at Wallacetown, near Invercargill, says the proof for post-earthquake Christchurch is relieved dog owners and happier pooches. “Earthquakes and aftershocks can be pretty traumatic on dogs ... and scared dogs are dangerous dogs. Some panic, some nibble on their feet, some dig to try and get away from what is stressing them, some hide, some tremble, some become aggressive, some attack other dogs they have lived with

for years. “The biggest thing pet owners tell me is how relieved they are that their pets are finally relaxing and becoming their happier selves.” The anxiety remedy has also proved popular for soothing car-sick dogs, dogs with separation anxiety when their owners are away, dogs who don’t like being groomed, hyperactive dogs, and dogs stressed by shows. Mrs Thomas says it can also help calm dogs frightened by fireworks. She and her husband Karl run a pet care business and also own eight Siberian Huskies which they show and run in dog sled competitions. She became interested in aromatherapy several years ago when their oldest dog, Kayto, became off-colour. “I had a feeling the chemicals in his medications and food might be affecting him and decided to try natural remedies and a natural diet instead.” She trained overseas and later gained a qualification at New Zealand’s only aromatherapy college.

The Reserve Bank is keeping a watchful eye on the country’s property market, which has started heating up as low mortgage rates and easier lending criteria encourage first-home buyers. RBNZ governor Graeme Wheeler, who held the official cash rate at 2.5 percent today, said the housing market, particularly Auckland, is starting to strengthen with cheaper bank funding costs leading to increased competition and lower mortgage rates. The bank sees house prices as still elevated relative to income and rents, with Auckland house prices growing faster than the rest of the country. That’s led to a pick-up in household credit growth, housing market turnover and house price inflation in recent months, and the central bank is keeping close tabs on the sector to ensure real estate values don’t get away on it as they did during the boom of the mid-2000s. “Higher house price inflation and

increased household expenditure would likely lead to higher inflationary pressures than is currently projected,” the bank said in special commentary for the

Visit PaperPlus to experience the Christmas spirit in our upstairs Christmas shop

December monetary policy statement. “All else equal, such a development could necessitate a higher OCR.” In the October review, Wheeler zeroed in on the country’s tepid pace of inflation, which fell below the central bank’s 1 percent to 3 percent target band in the September quarter, when the annual pace slowed to just 0.8 percent. The Reserve Bank is forecasting annual inflation to stay near the bottom of the band in the next year, rising to 2 percent in the March 2015 quarter as building activity ramps up and the persistently strong currency starts to weaken. New Zealand’s property market has been slowly gathering pace this year after a muted period when credit lines dried up in the wake of New Zealand’s finance sector collapses and the global financial crisis. The bank said any credit-fuelled expansion in house prices would also undermine the country’s financial stability and could expose households and banks to sharp falls in house prices. - APNZ

MSD reveals new public computers The Ministry of Social Development is set to roll out new public computers from May next year to replace the kiosks closed after a security hole was revealed in October, but has promised to tighten up its information security before that happens. The MSD’s chief executive Brendan Boyle announced new workstations were on the way when he released the second phase of a Deloitte’s report on MSD’s information security systems yesterday. The Deloitte report was requested in October after blogger Keith Ng revealed Work and Income’s public kiosks allowed access to some central office information, including confidential details and invoices. The second part of the report was critical of the MSD’s processes for handling security issues - a problem it said went across the department. “While information security is

considered in many parts of the organisation, approaches and tools are often informal or lack specificity. This places too much reliance on the capabilities of individual people.” It recommended specifically assigning responsibility at a senior level and ensuring very clear processes were established. Mr Boyle said the recommendations in the Deloitte report would be acted on as a priority - including appointing a new senior manager to oversee information security. That position - Chief Information Security Officer - would be recruited within weeks and would be charged with ensuring personal information was adequately protected. Mr Boyle said it was heartening that the Deloitte report found that there was no widespread problem with information security and no evidence of any other breaches of its systems. - APNZ

Devastation on Wallington Way, Hobsonville after a tornado tore through.

Photos new zealand herald

Tornado causes mayhem By Kieran Campbell of APNZ Storm refugee Kirsten Wright was forced to evacuate her Clark St home in Hobsonville and spent the night with family. “It’s a disaster, you don’t even want to look there. It’s horrifying,” Ms Wright said. “I just cried when my friend phoned me and told me people’s houses are in pieces and people have died. “It feels surreal. I can’t believe that this has happened and is happening.” Ms Wright had planned to stay at Whenuapai Air Base but ended up at a family member’s home at Howick. She was at work when the storms hit and the ceiling collapsed in places under the weight of the water. “It was like a waterfall. Everything was so drenched and soaked,” she said. “My managers told me to leave and go see if my house was okay because my friend phoned me saying there was a tornado. “I was in shock.” It was still pouring with rain as she arrived to find Clark St blocked off. Ms Wright parked and walked past homes with roofs missing and smashed windows. “I was shocked, I was in panic. “I was just wanting to see everything was okay. Our house was thankfully okay, we’ve just been evacuated here now.”

Ms Wright’s partner, Jason Thomson, is a firefighter with the defence force and was in Blenheim yesterday for a training course. “I’ve been on the phone to him and both of our families basically the whole afternoon, giving them updates,” Ms Wright said. With toasted sandwiches in hand and late sun streaming through the glass doors of the officers mess, Matt Eade and Kaitlen Jones were a long way from the tornado they had lived through hours earlier. They were exhausted by the time they arrived yesterday at Whenuapai Air Base, where hundreds of evacuees had filed through looking for a bed for the night. A crew of air force, search and rescue and police personnel organised for those sent packing from their homes to have somewhere to stay last night. Mr Eade and Ms Jones thought they would have been able to spend the night at their Clark Rd home but instead they found themselves surrounded by people in high-vis and khaki uniforms. As they chewed on their ham and cheese meal, they told how hours earlier they were hunkered down in their kitchen as ferocious winds smashed windows and tore roofs from houses in their neighbourhood. “It’s probably the hardest wind you’ve ever seen in one direction and then suddenly it stops and goes in the other direction,” Mr Eade said. “It seemed like something bad was

going to happen with all the wind,” Ms Jones said. The gusts calmed but the rain continued before a second storm forced the pair back inside with a stranger they pulled in from the street. Police used megaphones to warn people inside as they drove the streets in between storms. “The cops were saying, ‘Everyone take cover, another tornado is coming”, stuff like that,” Ms Jones said. Paul Barrett’s young children jumped on large leather couches as he waited to find out where his family would sleep for the night. The Air Force flight lieutenant had spent hours helping those evacuated from their Hobsonville homes before arriving at Whenuapai Air Base himself where he and his family joined the homeless. There was external damage to the Barrett family’s home. “Our’s is superficial compared to others,” Lieutenant Barrett said. After rushing to Hobsonville to check on his daughter at daycare during the peak of the storms, Lieutenant Barrett eventually became part of the team helping relocate those being evacuated. In the officer’s mess at the air base, his wife and children ate before they made their way to the city where the Red Cross had organised a hotel for them. “We’ve got somewhere to sleep, which is awesome. That response was really quick,” Lieutenant Barrett said. - APNZ

Ship sinks off Dutch coast, 4 dead Four crew members died and seven were missing in the icy waters of the North Sea, after a cargo ship collided with another vessel and sank off the Dutch coast yesterday, rescuers said. “We can confirm that four bodies have been found, along with 13 people rescued alive,” said Coast Guard spokesman Marcel Oldenburger. He said a massive air and sea rescue operation involving several helicopters, two navy patrol ships and even one of the ships involved in the collision would continue through the night in an effort

to find the remaining seven sailors. Another Coast Guard spokesman, Peter Verburg, said in the early hours of Thursday that the search was carrying on even though “the chance of finding anyone alive now is virtually zero.” “We are doing all we can, but time is overtaking us,” he told The Associated Press in a telephone interview. The 148-metre Baltic Ace collided with the 134-metre container ship Corvus J in darkness near busy shipping lanes some 65 kilometres off the coast of the southern Netherlands. The Baltic Ace,

carrying a cargo of cars, had a crew of 24 which was forced to abandon ship as it sank quickly. Eleven crew members were rescued by helicopters and two more by ships, the coast guard said in a statement. Rescuers were using infrared cameras to hunt for more survivors. “We still hope to find them,” Kees Brinkman, a spokesman for rescuers, told Dutch television nearly four hours after the collision. But, he added, “their chances of survival are shrinking” if they are in the water.

The Dutch Defense Ministry said in a statement two navy patrol ships were aiding the search. “Helicopters are trying, in (strong wind) and high waves to bring the people to safety,” the ministry said. Verburg said the 12-man crew of the Corvus J was still on board the ship, which was helping in the rescue operation. Details of its cargo were not immediately available. “It is badly damaged, but not in danger of sinking,” Verburg said of the Corvus J.

The coast guard spokesman said the cause of the collision was not known. “At the moment we are solely focused on getting the people to safety,” he said. Four of the survivors were being flown to a hospital in Rotterdam and seven to an airbase in Belgium. The Baltic Ace, sailing under a Bahamas flag, was heading from the Belgian port of Zeebrugge to Kotka in Finland, and the Cyprus-registered Corvus J was on its way from Grangemouth in Scotland to Antwerp, Belgium. - AP

Terror attacks claim 7500 The number of terrorist attacks worldwide has sky-rocketed over the past decade, with a third of all incidents taking place in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to a new study. Violence carried out by a “nonstate actor” rose from less than a thousand incidents in 2002 to 4564 attacks in 2011, according to the Global Terrorism Index, produced by the US and Australiabased Institute for Economics and Peace. The other countries most affected were Pakistan, India, Thailand, the Philippines and Russia, the study said. The number of victims claimed by the violence peaked in 2007 with 10,000 people killed, while 7500 died in 2011. “The current global trend of terrorism can best be described as plateauing rather than decreasing” since 2002, the report said. In 2011, Iraq remained the country with the highest number of deaths from terrorist attacks, with 1798 killed in 1228 incidents, half

of which took place in Baghdad. US troops pulled out of Iraq at the end of 2011. About 1468 people were killed last year in attacks in Pakistan and 1293 in Afghanistan, where the bulk of a NATO-led force is due to withdraw by the end of 2014. During the ten-year period assessed by the study, the most lethal assaults occurred in 2004. In that year, a March 21 attack in Nepal by Maoist rebels left 518 dead and 216 wounded. In Madrid, 191 were killed and 1800 injured in March 11 commuter train bombings. And in the Russian town of Beslan, more than 300 people were killed and 700 wounded, mostly children, after militants took hostages at a secondary school on September 1. The study, which documented 104,000 incidents since 2002, found that terrorist attacks tended to target private citizens, government offices and police. Military installations and troops only accounted for four per cent of terrorist targets, it said. - AFP

fered by Hoddle Street mass murderer Julian Knight, who received a 27-year non-parole term. Haigh said he also should have received mitigation for his illness, which was more severe than Knight’s. “Knight’s anti-social behaviour is negligible when compared with my own,” he said Haigh said something “pathologically abhorrent” was working within him at the time of the “regretted atrocities” but doctors had since determined he was no longer labouring under the illness.

SOS alarms keep women alive in NSW A trial of hand-held SOS alarms is helping keep 50 women safe from suffering domestic violence at the hands of their current or former partners, the NSW Minister for Women Pru Goward says. The trial has been running for several months involving devices the size of a small mobile phone fitted with the latest GPS technology so police can respond instantly to go to the aid of women when they press an SOS button. Ms Goward said one woman was killed in Australia every week on average by a current or former partner and the NSW government was determined to act to protect

ARIES (Mar 21st Apr 20th) This can be an exceptionally busy time of the year and many of us are rushing from pillar to post to keep up with all the different demands. If you think any of these are becoming too much, have the confidence to say no. Of course, if you know this can affect someone else you might feel guilty, so try to prioritise who you want to help most.

vulnerable women. The devices would enable women to live normal lives and early results from the trial were very encouraging, she told reporters in Sydney yesterday. “It’s been absolutely life changing for the women ... One woman said she hadn’t been grocery shopping for 16 months.” NSW Police Assistant Commissioner Mark Murdoch said the trial so far had resulted in six call-outs that led to one arrest and five investigations into breaches of orders against current or former partners. The trial is set to run for another six months. - AAP

GEMINI (May 22nd Jun 21st) You have a reputation for buzzing from one project or situation to another but is this really fair? For the rest of this month and into the first three months of next year, Saturn, the planet of structure, angles superbly to Pluto, that of change. You’ll be able to apply yourself like never before and through unstinting effort can come tangible rewards.

A Jamaican toddler has been fatally mauled by a neighbor’s pit bull. Police said that 2-year-old Ronica Gregory and her older sister were attacked by a dog as they walked through their neighborhood in the eastern parish of St. Catherine. Both girls sustained injuries in the attack and were rushed to a hospital, where Ronica was pronounced dead. Police say they’re investigating the fatal dog attack. - AP

• Legal high Legal marijuana possession becomes a reality in Washington state today, and some people plan to celebrate the new law by breaking it. Voters in Washington and Colorado last month made those the first states to decriminalize and regulate the recreational use of marijuana. Washington’s law takes effect today and allows adults to have up to an ounce of pot — but it bans public use of marijuana, which is punishable by a fine, just like drinking in public. Nevertheless, some people planned to gather to smoke up beneath Seattle’s Space Needle. Others planned to party outside Hempfest headquarters in Seattle.

Confidential details about the Duchess of Cambridge’s health have been revealed by a nurse who fell victim to a hoax call. Two Australian radio announcers impersonated the Queen and Prince of Wales to dupe staff into giving a condition update on Kate, who is suffering severe morning sickness. John Lofthouse, chief executive of the private Edward VII Hospital, said he regretted the breach, but condemned the call as “journalistic trickery”. The presenters, from 2Day FM, remarked during their show how their efforts were the “easiest prank call ever made”, as they put on mock British accents they later described as “terrible”. they have since apologised.

South Korean rapper PSY, who sings the popular Gangnam Style, greets Thai fans after a press conference in Bangkok, Thailand.

Cashing in on Gangnam Style via YouTube is big business As Gangnam Style gallops toward 1 billion views on YouTube, the first Asian pop artist to capture a massive global audience has gotten richer click by click. So too has his agent and his grandmother. But the money from music sales isn’t flowing in from the rapper’s homeland South Korea or elsewhere in Asia. With one song, 34-year-old Park Jae-sang — better known as PSY — is set to become a millionaire from YouTube ads and iTunes downloads, underlining a shift in how money is being made in the music business. An even bigger dollop of cash will come from TV commercials. From just those sources, PSY and his camp will rake in at least $8.1 million this year, according to an analysis by The Associated Press of publicly available information and industry estimates. But for online music sales in South Korea, he’ll earn less than $60,000. Here’s how it works. First there’s YouTube. Gangnam Style with its catchy tune and much imitated horse-riding dance is the most-watched video on YouTube ever. The viral video has clocked more than 880 million YouTube views since its July

• Pit bull kills child

• Royal baby hoax

Serial killer a victim Victoria’s worst serial killer says he deserves a decreased sentence for the murder of six people because he was labouring under a mental illness at the time. Paul Steven Haigh, 54, says he was the “victim” of borderline personality disorder when he murdered six people, including a 10-year-old boy, in the 1970s. Arguing why he should be given a minimum term on his sentence of life with no parole, Haigh said he was afflicted with a similar personality disorder to that suf-

release, beating Justin Bieber’s Baby, which racked up more than 808 million views since February 2010. PSY’s official channel on YouTube, which curates his songs and videos of his concerts, has nearly 1.3 billion views. TubeMogul, a video ad buying platform, estimates that PSY and his agent YG Entertainment have raked in about $870,000 as their share of the revenue from ads that appear with YouTube videos. The Google Inc.-owned video service keeps approximately half. And the country with the most views of Gangnam Style? The United States. Gangnam Style has also been downloaded 2.9 million times in the US and has been the No. 1 or No. 2 seller for most weeks since its debut, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The song sells for $1.29 on Apple’s iTunes Store, the market leader in song downloads. Apple generally keeps about 30 per cent of all sales, so the PSY camp could be due more than $2.6 million. How much PSY keeps and how much goes to his managers, staff and record label is unclear. South Korean industry insiders said PSY likely gets 70 per cent and YG Entertainment 30 per cent for US downloads.

CANCER (Jun 22nd - Jul 23rd) Your great virtue is that generally you don’t expect perfection from situations. You realise that life is a series of compromises and this keeps you more balanced than some people. However, that doesn’t mean you won’t have found one person really tough to get along with of late. Yet what you can now deploy is your awesome tenacity.

LEO (Jul 24th - Aug 23rd) If you feel that other people are enjoying the upside of the festive season and you are caught up in the nitty-gritty elements, fear not. This month is yet young and there are lots of good things set to head your way as the days go by. Today the phone can start to ring with possibilities for the weekend. Soon you will be in party mood.

VIRGO (Aug 24th Sep 23rd) One of the things people really appreciate about you is your ability to sort the wheat from the chaff and your powers of organisation, structuring and communication can hold you in good stead for some months to come. As ever, maximising this will require application or the ability to get others to help you - and you can ask charmingly!

TV commercials also bring dividends. PSY has been jetting around the world, performing on shows such as The X-Factor Australia and NBC’s Today Show, but such programs usually cover travel costs and not much else, said Gary Bongiovanni, editor-inchief of concert trade magazine Pollstar. It is television commercials that are the big money spinner for the most successful of South Korea’s K-pop stars. PSY has been popping up in TV commercials in South Korea for top brands such as Samsung Electronics and mobile carrier LG Uplus. Chung Yu-seok, an analyst at Kyobo Securities, estimates PSY’s commercial deals would amount to 5 billion won ($4.6 million) this year. The money is cool. The products not so much. PSY is now the face of a new Samsung refrigerator and a major noodle company. A fact little known outside South Korea is that PSY’s father, uncle and grandmother own a combined 30 per cent of DI Corp, a company which makes equipment that semiconductor companies use to make computer chips. DI shares surged eightfold from July after PSY’s hit reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 1 on the UK singles chart.

Merry Christmas

LIBRA (Sep 24th Oct 23rd) The Moon enters your sign later today and if part of you has felt quieter or becalmed, or affected by the Quarter Moon of earlier this week that may have made you anxious about some people’s intent, you can begin to regain your equilibrium. Furthermore, solid news on plans for the festive season can be laid, ones that can reassure and delight.

SCORPIO (Oct 24th - Nov 22nd) How are you finding Saturn in Scorpio? It’s not been with you long, about two months, so you just have another twentyeight months of its passage to go! Now, despite this being a potentially difficult and limiting influence, it partners up with Pluto. Use this combination to view any alterations that are occurring as being for the best, even if not easy.

A 44-year-old Melbourne mother adopted the mindset of “a self-indulgent teenage girl” when she carried out a sexual relationship with a teenage friend of her son, a judge has said. The woman, now 52, supplied the boy with alcohol, drugs and lavish gifts to maintain their three-year relationship, which began when he was just 13. She was sentenced to seven years in jail, with a minimum of five years, in the Victorian County Court yesterday. Judge Carolyn Douglas said the woman was actively grooming the teenager between 2002 and 2005. - AP

• Hybrid plant open Australia’s first petrolelectric hybrid engine plant has been opened by Prime Minister Julia Gillard in Melbourne. The Toyota plant is expected to produce 108,000 four-cylinder engines each year for locally built Camry and Camry hybrid sedans. Toyota Australia chief executive Max Yasuda said Australia was now one of only four countries in the world to produce the engine. Ms Gillard said it was a “red letter day for blue-collar workers”. - AP

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23rd - Dec 21st) You will be pushing people, contacts and life in general to take more notice of what you have to offer. Mars is making you more conscious of your worth and the combination with the Sun means that recognition, appreciation and potentially earning extra money can all go hand in hand. In love, resist being too demanding. It can be counter-productive.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22nd - Jan 20th) You are going to need to express your personality and individuality in the coming months and you need to be able to link with people who can appreciate who you are but also respect your need for independence. A great way to achieve this is through co-operation. Informal or formal ways of approaching this can really bear fruit if you apply yourself.

AQUARIUS (Jan 21st - Feb 19th) Your openness helps you to have many different connections to people, not least because you have the gift for seeing the goodness within folk and remain unswayed by appearances or protocol. One person, who may not be particularly obvious today, is set to play a really important role in the months to come. Their entrance could be low-key.

SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD

PISCES (Feb 20th Mar 20th) A friend can make an important introduction. This could be purely a socially based opportunity or something more, but something you are very keen on achieving can be boosted by their knowledge and by their contacts. In love, if you find yourself thinking about who would be good for you, you need to be really honest about your own needs first.

Easy-care with colourful character 414 Racecourse Road For the purchaser of a quality 2 hectare property in a sought after location, 414 Racecourse Road is a must to inspect. The present owners have tastefully renovated and re-decorated the three bedroom brick home which features a master bedroom, with an ensuite and walk-in robe, and built-in robes in the two double bedrooms. The kitchen has been modernized and the dining and living areas can be opened to an outdoor entertaining area and lawns. A heat pump completes the living area for winter warmth. A feature of the home is its setting amongst the manicured lawns and abundant colourful shrubs. Many azaleas and rhododendrons make this easycare garden a blaze of colour enhancing the BBQ area and making this property ideal for indoor and outdoor living. During their ownership, the fastidious owners have totally upgraded the well and water supply and built a 4-bay implement/workshop. In addition, the single stand woolshed allows the sheep farmer to be independent. Attractive plantings of mature shrubs and specimen trees provide shelter for the property while the contour is flat with cover in permanent pasture. The property is being marketed by Jon McAuliffe of Bayleys Canterbury Ashburton office with an asking price of $690,000.

As the summer sky heats up and you find yourself sweltering under the hot Mid Canterbury sun, you look for some cool reprieve. Some days an icy Fruju just won’t cut it. You’re sweaty, exhausted and perched pathetically in front of your fan in your budgy smugglers praying that the next waft of air will be slightly cooler than the last. If you were still nine years old you could go outside and run under the sprinkler, frolicking gleefully under the beams of water, but you’re not, and it’s hardly a display you want your neighbours’ teenage son posting on social media as you’re caught on film during one of your more desperate moments. Desperate times call for desperate measures. You could book a tropical holiday, where it’s more acceptable to be half-naked day in day out, and the ocean is close at hand for glorious refreshment. Or you could build a pool. But will a pool be a smart investment, or a costly, dirty great hole in the yard?

covering Mid Canterbury... Buyers’ and sellers’ markets. What do they mean for us?

Story by: Amanda Wright

We often hear the terms “it’s a buyers’ market”, or “it’s a sellers’ market”. The expressions are commonly used to describe the real estate market, but what do those terms actually mean, and how do they affect us if we are buying or selling? The real estate market experiences constant fluctuation, which is why investing in property, like any investment, is still considered a risk. Property prices climb and dive for a number of reasons, and even the most informed buyer may not be able to predict the future valuation of a specific piece of property. However, recognizing trends and understanding market developments can lead to wise investments.

the small mining town of Dysart in Queensland, Australia. Out in the middle of nowhere, one would assume property prices in this rural town would be quite low, but being centrally located to a large number of coal mines, it is the ideal location for workers and a surrounding infrastructure to service the mines to be located.

Because of the overwhelming demand for property, rental prices have surged upward of $1500 per week, some reaching $3000 per week for average properties. A modest two bedroom house will cost more to rent or to buy than a luxurious apartment in the Gold Coast. This is an extreme case of a sellers market, but will only last as long as the mining When there is an abundance of houses on the market for sale industry does. within an area, it will often create a buyers’ market if those While it's generally accepted that the conditions for a buyers’ houses are taking a longer than average time to sell.

Many factors can influence the swing of these markets. The Christchurch earthquake that destroyed so many homes is an example of how a sudden natural disaster can create a shortage of houses available with an increased demand of people looking to buy. It created a sellers’ market, and both property and rental prices increased dramatically as a reflection of the supply and demand factors.

Even though it may be a buyers’ market, some buyers get overly confident and kill their own transaction. This is by either low-balling the seller or making excessive estimates for repairs. This is a guaranteed losing strategy. The best strategy to make a sale work is to take the position of being fair to the seller and act in good faith.

Work with a professional that you trust. Be willing to listen and follow their advice. Real estate agents have a fiduciary Another factor that can influence the market is industrial progress and the income opportunities created rapidly within duty to work for the best interest of their clients, no matter an area.

SHARKS ON TRACK FOR CLEAN SWEEP P18 | PHIL HUGHES TAKES PONTING’S SPOT IN AUSSIE TEST LINE-UP P18

• Athletes in top form Several Mid Canterbury athletes grabbed podium finishes at the Canterbury primary school athletic championships held at the Ashburton Domain on Wednesday. Methven’s Archie Redfern won the 10-year-old boys’ 50m sprint and came second in the long jump, with Allenton’s Toby Lee third. Rakaia’s Marcus Bishop won the 11-year-old boys 60m sprint. Amy Pearson of Longbeach had two silver medal performances in the 10-year-old girls 80m and 1000m races while Allenton’s Natasha Waddell came second in the 11-year-old girls 1200m. Poppy Kilworth of St Josephs came second in the nine-year-old girls’ 50m, with the St Josephs relay team also coming second, as did the St Josephs 12-year-old girls relay team.

• Turnaround required The Ashburton College 1st XV host Shirley Boys in a two day game which doubles as their final match of the season. College will be hoping for a strong finish to the season coming off back-to-back heavy defeats. They were beaten by an innings and 66 runs by St Andrews before being trumped by an innings and 39 runs by Christ College last week.

• Club champs loom

Mealamu to extend leave All Black and Blues stalwart Keven Mealamu has decided to extend his break from rugby for several weeks and will now start his Super Rugby season in March. The Blues and the NZRU yesterday announced the 102-test veteran plans to take a well-deserved rest after a huge 2012 rugby season which started in February and concluded last weekend. This extended leave means Mealamu will miss the first three matches of the Blues’ season and will return to the fray on March 18 after the Blues’ bye week. Mealamu, who yesterday returned to New Zealand after the All Blacks’ Northern Hemisphere tour, has chosen to exercise one of several options negotiated in his latest contract, which runs through to the end of 2013. “It’s a total break away from the routines of the game so that I can enjoy some downtime and chill out with my family before getting back

into it in a few months’ time,” he said. “It’s been a great season of All Blacks rugby but we were very disappointed with our Blues results this year, so I am keen to come back strongly to contribute to a much better campaign in 2013.” Mealamu said he had asked Blues coach Sir John Kirwan to not appoint him as captain, given his decision to sit out the early season, and Kirwan said he was supportive of Mealamu’s desire to keep playing at the top level for as long as possible. “We recognised that in order to do that for the long term, as well as give his best to the Blues next year, it would be important and very sensible for Keven to take a break at the start of the season,” Kirwan said. “Relinquishing the captaincy followed naturally and it shows he is thinking of the team first, which is what Keven always does.” - APNZ

The Tinwald Cycling Club tackle the Swamp Road block in what will see the riders test each other out a week out from the Club Championships. Open grade have a 50km handicap while the juniors and division two have an 18km circuit.

• Juniors on court More than 60 juniors will hit the courts on Sundays for the Mid Canterbury primary and intermediate singles championships. The year 7/8 boys have drawn the biggest field with 17 players headed by top seed James Watt. The year 5/6 boys have 15 entries where Duncan Rollinson is the top seed while the year 5/6 girls have Georgia Benny heading the 13 entries.

• Chelsea out, Celtic in Chelsea made the wrong sort of history yesterday as they became the first holders to exit the Champions League at the group stage despite winning their final group game. Their 6-1 thumping of Danish minnows Nordsjaelland proved pointless as Juventus won 1-0 and inflicted a rare home defeat on Shakhtar Donetsk. Chelsea’s despair was in contrast to the joy in Glasgow as Celtic reached the last 16 with a 2-1 home win over Spartak Moscow and become the first Scottish side to garner 10 points from the group stage. - AFP

Quade to sign new deal with the ARU By Jim Morton Quade Cooper and the Australian Rugby Union have finally resolved their differences and the maverick playmaker is set to sign a new multi-year deal. The sidelined Wallabies five-eighth is expected to front a media conference in Brisbane this morning to announce an end to the re-signing saga which has been simmering for six months. Cooper struck a new three-year deal with the Queensland Reds way back in June but only now is it set to be ratified, although the length of the contract remains clouded. The Reds have played peacemaker in the rocky negotiation process that was on the brink of collapse late last month after the ARU offered a new incentive-based deal. At the time, Cooper said he would not accept such a deal while his manager, Khoder Nasser, blamed the ARU for a “total communication breakdown”. It was the 38-Test back’s own criticism of the Wallabies’ “toxic” culture and the state of the code which resulted in the downgraded offer after he failed to sign a more significant deal tabled mid-year.

Cooper’s new deal - believed to be for two or three years - isn’t expected to prevent him taking part in a charity boxing bout on February 8 - eight days before Queensland kick off their Super Rugby campaign against the Brumbies in Canberra. The 24-year-old will still be allowed to fight a yet-to-be-named opponent over three three-minute rounds on the undercard of Sonny Bill Williams’ heavyweight clash with South African Francois Botha. A Fairfax report says the revised deal is similar to the $800,000 offer that had been taken off the table following his attack on the code in September. Recovering from knee surgery, Cooper was fined $40,000 for his comments at an ARU code-of-conduct hearing at the time, with $20,000 suspended. High-level talks between QRU chiefs Jim Carmichael and Rod McCall and ARU officials, including chairman Michael Hawker, have been instrumental in bringing all parties together. Cooper faces a stiff challenge to win back the faith of coach Robbie Deans and regain the Wallabies No.10 jersey in time for June’s three-Test series against the British and Irish Lions. - AAP

Sharks right on track for clean sweep By Jonathan Leask The start of the Muirhead Rosebowl is a case of continuing form or looking for a fresh start for Mid Canterbury senior cricket teams tomorrow. The Tech Sharks’ back-to-back Pritchard Shield wins were their first step in their main goal of a clean sweep of the major trophies, with last week’s win over Coldstream also seeing them take the Bevan Stroud Challenge Trophy. The Sharks were denied the sweep last season in the final game as Allenton took the Muirhead Rosebowl final, which will again be the last game of the season. But the second 45 over competition has been shuffled around so that the twenty20 is played while the rep team is on Hawke Cup duty. The unbeaten Sharks lead the Studholme Shield standings, for overall results across the 45 over competitions, and is a trophy they have held for the last two seasons and will want to retain for a third. The Muirhead Rosebowl is the one that got away last year. It is another round robin that

Bishop again dominates badminton’s awards By Jonathan Leask The Mid Canterbury Badminton Club season came to a close yesterday, but not before they dished out the silverware. And again one name was prominent on the winners list. Despite a mid-season hip replacement Karen Bishop won five trophies, including maintaining her streak in the A grade singles, winning the trophy for a eighth consecutive year and 16th time. Bishop first won the trophy in 1995 through to 2003 when a dodgy knee put her on the sidelines, but reclaimed the

will stretch into March, with the twenty20 competition in between rounds six and seven, before semifinals and the final on March 16. The Sharks head to Fairfield looking for a sixth straight win having one washout as the only match they haven’t won, which was against Fairfield. Lauriston ran out convincing winners over Methven last week and will be after a repeat performance when they get home advantage in the return fixture. Lauriston finished third in the Pritchard Shield and remain a dark horse heading into the Muirhead Rosebowl. Methven on the other hand has the one win and will be hoping the new competition brings a change in fortunes. The same can be said for the Tech Stags. While their counterparts the Sharks are unbeaten the Stags are without a win and will need a major turnaround to change that against Coldstream. Coldstream will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing loss to the Sharks in what was a playoff for the Pritchard Shield and continue a strong season. For the second week in a row Allenton have the bye.

Bishop also won the masters singles, paired up with Eung Donaldson to win the ungraded doubles, Mel Trewavas in the mixed A doubles and the graded doubles with Yvette Roche. Evan Collins won the men’s, Phillipa McDonald won the A reserve singles, Bernie Jopson B grade and C grade was claimed by Karen McIntyre. Adrian Mitchell was awarded the sportsmanship trophy and 14-year-old Jordan McCracken was named the most improved player for the year. The club will be back on court in the Sports Hall in February.

Ashburton Hearing Association Russell Anstiss welcomed 80 members to our Christmas dinner. This continues to be a popular event and members enjoyed a feast, both in food and conviviality. Of course Christmas would not be complete without a visit from Father Christmas. This year some trouble developed mechanically with his scooter. Fortunately Rudolph (dressed in mechanic’s overalls, antlers and red nose) was within calling distance and gave assistance, much to the relief of members awaiting his arrival. Christmas gifts were distributed to all the “good” members and it was noted that nobody missed out! Our patron, his Worship the Mayor Angus McKay, attended the dinner and spoke to all members and then announced that member Iris Officer-Holmes was to receive an honours award for outstanding service to the Ashburton community later that afternoon. We were fortunate to have Bev Opthoog and her helpers provide us with a delicious meal, for which members showed their appreciation. Christmas cake and a cup of tea were served by the committee members, which rounded off an enjoyable afternoon.

The 137th annual general meeting of the Rakaia Rugby Club was held in the clubrooms on November 28. The following members were elected as office bearers for the 2013 season. Patron: Rex Copland; President: Mark Boag; Immediate Past president: Chris Burrows; Vice-President: Bruce Heywood; Secretary/Treasurer: John Lawler; Club Captain: Chris Burrows; JAB Club Captain: David Boag; Assistant JAB Captain: Richard Stewart; MCRU. Delegate: Mark Hanrahan. The club has also attracted some new committee members who will strengthen the already sound group of working members. The club would still welcome new coaching personnel to assist with the various grades likely to be fielded in the coming season. Financially the Rakaia Rugby Club is in a sound position thanks particularly to the efforts of the fundraising and sponsorship committees. For new players to the district the club offers some good opportunities and is very supportive of its teams.(Contact Chris Burrows phone 3027 240) The president remembered the late Dominic Prendergast, a life member and former president of the club who died earlier this year. A special item of business at the annual meeting was the confirmation that Bob O’Brien would be awarded life membership of the Rakaia Rugby Club for many dedicated years and contributions to the promotion of the club’s sporting and community goals.

Ashburton Photographic Society Here we are again planning our end of year award and trophy presentations. It’s just amazing how quickly the year has passed by - I guess with the convention last month it has given us lots to concentrate on for the year. We’ve had a busy year with competitions, regular field trips to interesting locations, workshops on the finer points of the capabilities of our cameras and some Photoshop tuition. Every season creates new opportunities for that captured image and more discussion on the wonders (and at times frustrations) of our cameras. The digital and Photoshop world have opened a whole new concept to photography though creating the perfect image within the camera is still the ultimate. Our AGM was well supported – great to have lots of members present and a good opportunity for discussion on club matters. The elected committee is: President, Margaret Clifford; Secretary, Emmily Harmer; Treasurer, Julie Begg; Committee, Carol Efford, Norman Early, Suzanne Watson, Chris Howe, Jude Box, Rod McKimmie and Peter MacGregor. Portrait photographer Paul Willyams gave much time in critiquing our competition for which we were grateful. Before our competition he had put together interesting information to direct us to what he was looking for in a good image. His results were: Prints: acceptances - Norman Early - ‘Ashburton ‘Goldberg’ & ‘Madison’, Gaynor Hurst - ‘Interesting Book’, Debbie Buller - ‘Concentration’. Digital Images: acceptances – Jude Box- ‘Big

Smiles’ & ‘Mr Serious’, Gaynor Hurst - ‘First Play in the Leaves’, Debbie Buller - ‘Never Alone’, Peter MacGregor - ‘Young Girl in White’ Honours - Steve Buller - ‘Debs in Sepia’ TOP IMAGE Judge Alan Bilham travelled from Motueka to judge our 3rd Open Competition and gave us lots of interesting concepts to consider when photographing that ultimate image. His results were: Prints: acceptances – Margaret Clifford - ‘Morning Light’, ‘Kotuku Family’ & ‘Beautiful Agapanthus’, Suzanne Watson -‘ Pink Flower’ & ‘Destroyed’, Gaynor Hurst - ‘Yum’ & ‘Feeding Time’, Julie Begg - ‘ Me & My Shadow’ & ‘Every Last Bit’, Carol Efford - ‘Morning Fog’ & ‘Electric Light’, Norman Early - ‘Iceland Poppy’ & ‘Beagle Puppies, Jude Box - ‘Garden Party’, ‘In the Shadow’ & ‘All in a Row’, Aileen Brake - ‘Memories’,.

Cavendish Club On 5th October, Cavendish Club was fortunate to have Jan Hide of Fashion Focus, to once again present our Annual Fashion Parade. Jan featured fashions ranging from casual through to wedding wear and included many colourful garments. Between each model’s appearance, Jan gave some tips and advice on fashion which included wearing the right bra when buying a new garment. The delightful display was greatly enjoyed by members and friends and was followed by afternoon tea. Models were Judy, Sandra, Janet, Marjorie, Joan & Estelle. On Friday 16th November at 2pm the Ladies of Cavendish Club held their Christmas meeting in the Club Rooms, Tancred Street. The rooms were decorated in the usual festive theme and set the spirit of Christmas for us all. Entertainment was provided by committee members, carols were sung and lovely readings were read. Interesting items of Christmas traditions around the world included clothes, food and the stocking for Santa’s presents. The afternoon concluded with carols and a festive afternoon tea. The Christmas cake was a donation from the Arts and Crafts Group and was well received by us all. Our President Joan wished all members a joyous Christmas and a happy New Year. Library Circle It was while visiting relatives in Ashburton that Ross Harris, a noted composer, gave up his time to chat with us. Not only were we to hear how his career came about, but we were to enjoy his music. His real start in music came late, a neighbour suggesting he should join the school band. Thus, by accident, he discovered music. He went on to be with the National Youth Band and the National Band of New Zealand and for a year to play with the National Orchestra. Always wanting to compose music but not having the knowledge to do so, he was inspired by contemporary classical composers like Stravinsky. Music school at that time did not teach composing, but by the end of his degree he was writing music, soon to become proficient as a composer. Ross has taken early retirement after 33 years teaching at Victoria University to write more music. To this end we wish him well. The sort of music he enjoys is modern, his source of inspiration his wife, books, movies and painting.

I have recently returned from a fantastic trip to London & Paris where I experienced many of the major attractions. I travelled by Eurostar from London to Paris which was a great way to travel – quick, comfortable and easy. The highlight of my trip was the Fat Tire Evening Bike Tour in Paris which is suitable for even the most novice of cyclists!

HOT Tip: to avoid the queues at Eiffel Tower, consider walking up to the second level, you pay slightly less, get some exercise and save time!

ALL THE WEEKEND’S RACing fields P19-20 | HAMPSTEAD UNBEATABLE HEADING INTO FINAL ROUND P18

Aorangi From the scores sideline major upset

To lead, or not to lead It’s been an unsightly week for New Zealand cricket. A win in Colombo should have been greeted with a mix of relief and delight. Instead it has been almost forgotten in the storm over whether Ross Taylor should remain national captain or be replaced, either altogether or in short form games, by Brendon McCullum. NZC are the villains-in-chief for truly awful management of what was always going to be a difficult situation. But what of the two men at the centre of the firestorm. How do they compare, or differ, in key areas? * Leadership Taylor captained New Zealand in their last 13 tests, for four wins, two draws and seven losses. His test average as captain is 49.85, six runs better than when not captain. He goes at 37.86 in his 116 ODIs; and a terrific 49.76 in 20 games as skipper. He’s had six wins and 12 losses in those. McCullum has never captained New Zealand in a test, but has done so in eight of his 206 ODIs. He averages 50.12 as skipper,

Black Sticks outclassed break without adding to their score, despite dominating possession and managing four shots on goal to New Zealand’s none. Billy Bakker doubled the score barely 10 minutes into the second half, providing a clinical finish to Sander de Wun’s superb run down the right side. The Black Sticks continued to run strongly, creating some hard-earned chances as the clock wound down, but without finding the final finish. New Zealand striker Phil Burrows said the Dutch ability to retain possession proved difficult to combat. “They made us chase a lot of balls, especially towards the

Olympic silver medalists the Netherlands proved too strong for New Zealand in their Champions Trophy men’s hockey quarterfinal in Melbourne yesterday. The Black Sticks started strongly, earning a penalty corner in the first minute, but the Dutch were quick to work their way back into the game. Jeroen Hertzberger gave them a 1-0 lead 13 minutes into the first half with a clear strike on a penalty corner. But the New Zealand defence worked hard to limit the damage, aided by some outstanding work from rookie goalkeeper Hamish McGregor. The Netherlands went into the

end - they’re a class act,” he said afterwards. “But I think we’ve made big gains in the last few games... We’re disappointed with the result, but as long as we’re improving, we’re happy.” New Zealand now meet world No.1 Germany in the play-offs for fifth to eighth on Saturday, while the Netherlands go through to do battle with Pakistan in the semi-finals. World No.9 Pakistan stunned defending Olympic champions Germany 2-1, fighting back with two goals to Shakeel Abbasi after Moritz Furste gave Germany a 1-0 lead in the ninth minute of the early quarter-final. - AAP

What is this person famous for?

By Jonathan Leask The Aorangi men claimed their first win at the New Zealand Interprovincials, claiming an upset win over Waikato at the Otago Golf Club yesterday. After suffering four losses over two days the Aorangi men put a spanner in Waikato’s title chances as the Mid Canterbury duo of Cameron Grant and Jordan Green spearheaded the 3-2 win in the fifth round. Ashburton’s Grant, playing as number one, claimed a two-up win over Compton Pikari and Tinwald’s Jordan Green, at number two, was 3/2 over Luke Toomey, with Damian Rodgers claiming a 1up win to give Aorangi the result. Prior to yesterday’s 3-2 win, Aorangi had suffered a treble of 3-2 losses while being soundly beaten by Southland. Aorangi opened the tournament with a 3-2 loss to Taranaki on Tuesday with Grant 5/4 over Brad Hayward while Green went down by the same score to Jaime Reid, with Rodgers of the Highfield Club in Timaru picking up the other point for Aorangi. In the afternoon’s second round defending champions Southland handed Aorangi a 5-0 loss. Day two was a good one for Green claiming two wins but Aorangi suffered back-to-back 3-2 losses. Round three was 3-2 to Wellington where Green won 4/3 against Fraser MacLachlan and Rodgers picked up a win while Grant was beaten one-up by Marc Jennings. In round four it was 3-2 to Auckland where Grant went down 6/5 against Sam An but Green was two-up on Nick Voke and Geraldine’s George Wardell picked up the other win. Aorangi has the bye this morning before completing division one play against Hawkes Bay. The format of the championship sees the 15 teams split into two divisions with the top two teams from each division advancing to the semi-finals on Saturday with the final to be contested on Saturday afternoon. Southland will start the final day of pool play in the lead of division one on games differential, and have a tough finish with both Wellington and Auckland today. In division two Bay of Plenty hold a one point and 3.5 games lead over Otago, but the hosts have the bye in Photo ODT the morning before a crucial clash Aorangi’s Cameron Grant tees off in yesterday’s fifth round of the New against Northland which will determine who advances.
